honestly i just want to get to the fez run before i go to sleep because so much of that game's game time is spent on twiddling with its immense amount of puzzles so i want to see just how hard it gets broken.

13/f/cali posted:Yeah he was more "haha of course it was WR I have literally no competition" like he seemed chill and self-aware, and he did give his best, he just doesn't have a community really pushing him to better right now, maybe that will change in the future. It reminds me of the LP of The Fifth Element that happened...last year? They actually said that their playthrough was WR pace because no one else would touch that pos

If you save the animals, it wastes time since it goes off the path of the final escape. There's also some wacky timeline theory about Other M or something. I have no idea how it continues to raise as much money as it does, but it continues to year after year after year.

i mean i agree but that's outside of the runner, he needed a better couch (something he can't control) and a better game (something I guess he could but i could totally see the game being legit fun to watch if it gets optimized more) like, dustforce is a boring rear end boring game to play but speedran it's fuckin' nuts

Failboattootoot posted:Run was ok. Definitely better than every second of non-hilarious gimmick zelda and mario they always cram into these. ![]() I only watch the short/special SM64 runs, there isn't a single Zelda speedrun that's interesting to watch except for maybe LttP (the best game in the series) and even then I don't want to hear Link rolling for 2-5 hours or mario going YAHOO and the star jingle every other minute

Tollymain posted:do i want to know what's up with the "kill the animals" meme? In Super Metroid, there's a point where you can either visit a room off to the side to save some animals, or skip the room and let them all die. It's a few seconds (?) faster to let them die, which is why people sometimes say "Save the Frames" instead of "Kill the Animals". For some reason it's become a huge donation war ever since they first started doing it.

symbolic posted: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. The Quest 64 race was the first GDQ thing I saw and it's still probably my favorite. Also pretty much any Super Ghouls & Ghosts run

I think most of the Kill/save the animals donations are just people who couldn't take 5 minutes to scroll through the donation incentive list so just put a or b so their money goes somewhere.

I think it's more people wanting to be part of a "thing" than just laziness.

I mean seriously the art is dull and the platforming is just inconsistent enough to be infuriating, nothing's worse than a double S run being hosed up due to your dude deciding to stick to leaves instead of jumping off them

senrath posted:I think it's more people wanting to be part of a "thing" than just laziness. It's also a donation that goes towards the 2nd to last game of the marathon, and can be considered the climax of the marathon, followed by a long spooning with some random jrpg. Of course, Zoast isn't attending, so anything involving Super Metroid will be second rate at best.

Klaus Kinski posted:does it get broken to poo poo? because seeing fez puzzles solved fast sounds like a really boring run How long does Fez normally take? Because the time estimate for the run is 32 minutes, which sounds like it's more than just "do the game fast normally".

Erata posted:Aw man, and after beating his own records late last year, too. Ya, apparently it's his last year of school and he can't afford to take time off. He did say he was planning on attending SGDQ, so at least that one will be good. I do wish the SM RBO was a race, though. The run itself is intense with required near-death tricks just to get down to Ridley first. As a race it would have been insane.

I know it's too much to ask, but I want a repeat of what happened to Ivan 2 years ago (I think) where he almost got a record but lost it because he had to save the animals in a marathon.
