Boy this is a nice looking game, echoing the fact that this is the best 3D Sonic game even if the final boss is poo poo.

Yep, that last boss is loving horseshit but pretty much all of the rest of the game is terrific. Unfortunate that this game is looking to be the last gasp of decent sonic games for any foreseeable future but at least we got one more after the Genesis/Megadrive era.

The runner is doing a semi-decent job of commentary, even if his two couch 'dudes' are bound and determined to stay the gently caress away from speaking.

Sonic Generations can't be the best 3-D sonic game because it's not called Sonic Colors

this isn't Rooftop Run. Rooftop Run is orange and sunny and full of balloons and European architecture and it, along with the original Unleashed version, is the Best Sonic Level Ever.

agreed ->
Sonic 4 Episode II is much, much better than Ep1 but Generations is certainly the best 3D Sonic.

Has anyone ever given up on a run from choking? Not including soft-locks or other run ending things besides pure failure. Not saying Talon is close to that but I just haven't seen it myself.

Studio died during Risk of Rain last year on the final boss, so there was no second attempt made due to time restraints and no checkpoints in that game.

They compassion-killed the Fire Emblem run after a numerous series of bad RNG luck a year ago.

Pretty sure some runs have been mercy killed before. Though off the top of my head the only one I can recall is a Fire Emblem run, but it wasn't really the runners fault. He just got horrendous RNG.

yeah that requires m-speed, which is a technique he hasn't even MENTIONED, much less tried. It involves holding the analogue stick at a very precise, minute angle forward. I can't do it consistently enough to actually implement it into more than a couple of straightaways across the whole game.

There was some fat rear end in a top hat a couple years ago playing The Binding of Isaac, and after like 45 solid minutes of johnning he died to Satan in one hit and ragequit.

Literally everyone behind them did it, because the donation speaker said "Everybody wave." They had no excuse.

Wasn't YSG's echo the dolphin mercy killed 2 years ago or did they just resort to cheat codes to show the final boss? Close enough either way.

Yeah. Last year.they had to do the cheat codes, and even then he failed at the very last minute of a 10 minute segment. :(

I swear the two guys on the couch right now could kill with just their dismissive stare. "You're bringing shame to the sonic runners son..."

Even with chokes I think he's still S-ranked every stage, so it isn't that bad. If he comes in 11th on a stage then yeah we can say it's worse
