The thing about Capcom beatemups is that they KEEP GETTING BETTER. Check out D&D: Shadow Over Mystara.

In my dreams they release a remake of AvP too but I guess the license flying all over the place would make it very difficult.

I would kill to try and loop air throws with Linn again without an emulator though, the game is so much fun.

That's not really fair because Capcom made Devil May Cry and that's pretty much the 21st century successor to arcade beat-em-ups.

BoI went way over because one of the runners was stubborn as gently caress and kept going like 20 minutes after the race was over.

This couch cast is like an all-star game.

Binding of Isaac's 'race' had one competent player and one buffoon who doesn't know what the gently caress speedrun means so it went way over

He has done several awesome GDQ runs. Blast corps. SM64 one handed. Some really strange indie games (what was the Doom clone where you prayed people?)

Edit: I looked it up myself and it's Catechumen. I did not read any posts after mine. (thanks guys)

BoI racing is a thing, but it only goes to Mom's Heart or so and it's usually best of three races to compensate for RNG a bit. Also players tend to do quite a few restarts to get some damage items.

Basically, it's also really boring for a marathon and I think they'd be better off just doing a quick solo run with an entertaining runner.

im sad they didnt put up the character choice for AVP to bidding war though it's understandable because pred warrior is like the safest and best char for going through avp fast (item throw + doublekicks is fuckin crazy + spear dive). the coolest thing he did was something he didn't explain, which was the super fast backturned hop done by doing back,forward,back+jump with no gap between each (1f or whatev) on the mad predator loop consistently. thats really hard on a stick

but man i wanna see dudes react to all this kinda poo poo thats more obvious but totally inefficient like





edit:
no but for real avp is the best beat em up ever made and the obvious inspiration for dmc crazy poo poo

He also did a speedrun of this weird game called Prayer Warriors AOFG and introduced the world to the Zoo Race.

The twitch ID they're showing on stream is wrong, incidentally. He deleted the underscores ID, his current twitch is https://www.twitch.tv/peaches

There would be no way Necrodancer would go over estimate, since it made the incentive for Bard, which means the run would be no longer than 5 minutes, as long as you don't die.
