The scoreboards went on forever last time I checked.

It'd be nice if they got someone who was generally educated on games so they could at least discuss the mechanics and poo poo even if not the specific speedrunnin' strats but so it goes.

Ah, I was just judging by the steam page. Still, gotta wonder how many runners there actually are for it anyway

From what the runner said this game is like all high-tempo with very little downtime so I imagine that also doesn't help

The game is fairly self-explanatory and is high-paced and energetic so it's easy to watch even with meh commentary. It's probably overlong but that's about it. That said I'm looking forward to the 2x section because that should be fun to see speedrun

I think its more that a lot of the things you post in the UT thread is..verrrry unsavory. As in, "Why the gently caress would you post this creepy poo poo" tier of unsavory. This game looks interesting, kind of reminds me of the space maze from that weird Space Ace SNES game, but not poorly done

If we are talking about games with a small amount of runners all that comes to mind is the Vampire DLC for infamous 2 and the one guy so jazzed he set a record in a category maybe 3 people run.

This game actually has a grade system of sorts and meeting a time target on each stage is one of the requirements for getting a high grade. For full marks you have to get all the survivors and crystals in a level + not die + reach a certain score threshold, etc. Some of the target times are already really tough (but all designed to be achievable 100%ing the levels). Most of the time if you memorize level routes and know mechanically how to optimize, it's pretty possible to play on a level close to this. This player has just the dedication to take that optimization even further, especially since he's running the whole game at once.

I posted a comic a character uses the word 'frick' comically, and the punchline is 'why would you even say that what is wrong with you?'. But okay? Yeah, that's porn now, I guess? voltcatfish posted:I'm surprised, I thought most nearly completely obscure games got the boot at agdq Like I said, it was a pretty high-profile PS+ title on Vita/PS4. Last I checked there were hundreds of thousands of people on the scoreboards. Obscure it ain't. How have none of you ever heard of it? Half of you probably own it!

So what's everyone's favorite GDQ run of all time? Mine is probably averagetrey's run of SMS at AGDQ 2015. I played the holy hell out of Sunshine back in the day and seeing someone get 120 shines in just 3 1/2 hours was amazing to watch.

for entertainment I would say RE4 this past SGDQ, the guys were quite on the ball for commentary and whatnot. For actual  it's probably either Quake or Half-Life since seeing those being done in real time was pretty astounding as most of the videos on youtube are segmented runs

Alteisen posted:How was the l4d2 run I didn't see the whole thing, but I thought it was decent. I liked hearing them discuss strategy and teamwork together, and I thought they did a good job with commentary as well. They seemed to have good chemistry as a team and were pretty entertaining, overall. I'm not sure it's a must watch, but it's probably more entertaining than this current game.

goldjas posted:I was always fairly amused when you ran Sonic Spinball before, so I'd be fine with this. I made a commitment to myself that I will not do a proper run of the game again until I can somehow manage the (currently) TAS-only emerald skip in Toxic Caves. It's the only drat proper skip in the game and I refuse to complete a run that doesn't include it. It's hilariously hard, has no setup for it, is pixel perfect, and is mostly blind depending on camera scrolling. Needless to say, it's going to be a while.

There's no way I can remember them all, but I vaguely recall one of Werster's pokemon runs because he came close to setting a good WR were it not for a single error in the run.
