Honestly this chat doesn't seem that bad for speedrun commentary, it's just really dull and the run itself being boring makes for a slog.

Why does the fire emblem speedrun get to be before Oracle? That's lame. I even like FE and FE speedruns suck

you have to find scrolls to unlock those, otherwise you just get a random powerup when you combine powers.

Seriously if they have to keep doing FE runs can't they just shove them off to some morning slot cause they are dreadful.

This is the end of Kirby block ,It's Diddy Kong Racing after this. It's an all Trophy run though meaning i guess it's not even the whole game?

Diddy Kong Racing is up. It's not 100% so at the very least it won't be long.

A panel watches a bunch of vods and highlight videos that people submit to them and then judges based on what seems like would be well-presented and appealing to watch. The actual selection process hasn't been made publicized because it's probably not by any hard and fast rubric and nerds would rules lawyer the poo poo out of it all, but by what generally makes it in it seems like they do want to prioritize games that haven't been seen at the marathons recently (if ever) and well-recognized game series are sought-after to try to get newer viewers to watch and donate.

So if the chests contain things to make Kirby cuter than why are we ignoring them?

Diddy Kong Racing is pretty fun to watch . It's got plenty of crazy skips and out of bound tricks to keep things itneresting.

Still, minor gripes aside: It's been a great first day so far.

At least until Fire Emblem.

Fire Emblem apparently brings in mad donations so that's why they always have one. I personally don't know how true that actually is but it's the reasoning.

I think they did a DKR run last year and I recall it being 100% and super dull.

But there was really good run in either 2014 or 2013 where the guy set a WR with it, so maybe it depends on the runner.
