DarkspineSonic was on the couch for SA2 and he runs Generations and he's probably better than Talon is.

He's 100% better, at least he can do m-speed and out of bound glitches with a fair degree of consistency

He's hells of more charismatic (and dreamy :allears:) too!

There's an awful awful thread on Reddit about why this AGDQ is so dull and they site a whole bunch of horribly nerdshoe bullshit and not the fact that every third speedrunner is loving garbage at the game.

In fairness, the first two days of every GDQ event usually suck pretty hard. They usually put a good run or two at the start (SGDQ '14 had Mario 3D World, for example) but then it's like 36 hours of lame stuff.

At least tonight we'll have the Early FPS block, that's always good stuff.

If I hadn't looked at this thread I wouldn't have known I wasn't supposed to like this run because some cosplay nerd thinks he can do so much better

Dude's doing a great job commentating while playing and is solid at the game (his PB is less than 20 seconds from the WR), a lot of the (few) things that have handed can be chalked up to marathon luck and safe strats

full-game wrs are pointless in Generations, ILs are the actual measure of skill. He's OKAY at safe-strats and the missions and other gimmicks,, but safe strats are boring and no one cares about the missions.

You don't do ILs in a marathon setting. You grind ILs individually for hours at a time.

Yeah, that F-Zero GX run from last year was the most exciting run all stream, and even though I've never personally played F-Zero, it singlehandedly got me really excited for the whole block

The thing about marathon runs is that IL strats tend to be extremely risky and don't matter as much in the context of the marathon and if you aren't willing to not go for IL strats every time you end up with stuff like the mario kart wii run.

Then they should exhibit Sonic Generations at *GDQ in a more IL-friendly context. Better, more tech-capable runners to maximize hype.

Mainly it's the M-Speed thing. It's The Thing when it comes to going fast in Modern Levels but he's not even confident in using it on a boss fight.

The opening run of donkey kong tropical freeze owned and will be hard to top. Really good commentary and the person playing it obviously completely owned at the game. Also a good game to watch being speed run too, pretty looking and fast paced gameplay.
