fire emblem "speedrun"

Here we have a 15 dollar donation from sakurai saying: i like these games. expect more fire emblem characters in smash, they play like Marth but are poo poo. will donate another 15 if the runner does Roy's victory quote from melee.

Just bump into the mountain at this specific spot 37 times and you'll teleport skip to the afterlife.

what you do is you take this steel plate and hold it in front of you, now you run into this mountain wall. its finicky but after multiple tries of slamming your face into the mountain wall and eventually you will be able to go six feet under.

I'm not arguing on whether or not it would be a GOOD speedrun just the fact that a developer shouldn't really have that kind of say, how many GDQ's did we cap off with long rear end Final Fantasy runs...

i mean funnily enough he said "please don't" and the runners just acquiesced and didn't submit the game.

like they didn't have to but people just decided not to be a prick, isn't that nice?

Exactly. You release something to the public now, it's going to get streamed. Guarantee with the "enthusiastic" fandom that game has it'd be a massive donation draw, so screw that guy for saying "i don't want my game spoiled, so no GDQ for you." It's a moot point anyway since the game came out too close to submissions for it to be a legit consideration for actual inclusion. If he's still pissy about it come SGDQ, the guy's a douche.

I swear I remember the GDQ staff saying "don't bother submitting Undertale" along with a couple other games that JUST came out when submissions opened. Could be wrong, but that might be the reason. They knew the speedrun wouldn't be anywhere near actually fast yet.

I remember when the game first came out, long before all (or any) of the glitches were discovered and the WR for a straight run was about 1:30 or so.
