It's seems odd to try to show off why a game is a good speed running game while being completely boring at speed running it.

This is like a giant disappointment.

A Rayman Legends run with SV on the couch doing commentary, and we're not even going to get a run. Just showing random tech while doing stages over and over.

Who thought this was a good idea :psyduck:

Hey, does anybody have that video of a speedrunner doing OoT while blindfolded, but runs into a glitch and gets incredibly lost while still playing blindfolded? I want to watch something entertaining while waiting for the next run.

Really quite silly indeed.

I guess it's kinda nice to show off how actual techniques might work in a game in-depth for those who are interested in starting to speedrun (which I assume will be a bunch of people after each marathon), but this might not've been the best way to go about it. Just feels a bit disconnected compared to other runs.

Ugh. I saw Rayman Legends with an estimated time of 20 mins and was expecting some crazy broken tricks. Instead its 20 mins of guys failing to do some mildly broken tricks.

It'd make a real good YouTube tutorial I guess dunno why they did it mid marathon though

Most runs don't need to be inflated to stop from getting awkward.

SpikeVegeta is still cool though and partially saved it.

Or something for the bonus stream - it was way too short to actually be effective as a tutorial. But yeah, it's something I'd expect to see on Youtube. When I saw "Invasions and Challenges" in the schedule at first I didn't look at the time alotted to it, so I assumed it was a donation incentive to do those things after an actual run. Pity I was wrong about that.

Oh well, IwbtB should be entertaining at least, plus the DKC2 race afterwards has potential.

I enjoy that they're now actually showing the people in the room in between games and there's crowd noise. For the longest time I thought they only had the ~10 people on camera watching each run.
