Foul villain! I do not flee. I will never turn my back on you and run away!

I dunno if there's one thing about Melee that isn't in present day Smash that I miss it's Adventure mode. And some of the stuff this guy's doing is pretty sweet, those koopa troopa knockbacks in the first stage were awesome.

I don't want to say it was a bad run or anything but I thought the New Super Mario Bros. Wii run was just boring.

it was 100% which meant seeing the same tracks multiple times(especially with that trophy glitch that had them doing the first world tracks even more times than a glitchless run would do)

It was the most boring part of AGDQ. The room had no energy, the lead was gotten very early and never changed and it went on forever.

100% means you get to see every track like 4 times or whatever, and in four small windows due to it being a 4-way race

Only problem I had with this year's stream was that it seemed a lot more race focussed. I know it's an attempt to get more mileage out of games that are run every year, but I'd see that as an opportunity to get different games in. The horror block was a nice change from stuff we'd seen a hundred times before, I felt.

Races are awesome IF they have pro commentary. See: Ninja Gaiden this year, Metroid last year.

So what was the story for the $10k donation at the end of Super Metroid; who did it and was it retracted like that 4chan image suggested?

This is my first AGDQ (after seeing SGDQ last year), but I really enjoyed the runs they did where the devs were on the line commenting/watching. It took some runs I wouldn't otherwise care about (such as They Bleed Pixels) and made it so I watched the entire thing. I'm not sure if that was something new this time around or not, but it'd be cool to see more of it.

Yeah, I'm really curious about this too. It could be and probably is bullshit but a concrete answer would be nice.

Not a walrus.
Nothing in the PayPal notifications suggests that the transaction was reversed. When a transaction gets reversed PayPal sends like 15-20 notifications.

Out of all of our events since AGDQ2013 we've only ever had about $1,100 TOTAL donations reversed.

Also the screenshot was definitely forged (something about the brackets I think, Cool Matty knows the details).

Also the guy with the flag blanket got escorted off during that I think, which is definitely the funnier thing.
