People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.

Was this the same guy who went up to Withhelde and was creeping on her super fuckin' hard or was that some other dude?

wouldn't surprise me

thing I recently saw with the guy was the fact he recently got pressured to step down as a series mod for the entire Sonic series because that community got tired of him meddling and interrupting individual games communities attempts to restructure their leaderboards for absolutely no reason and generally getting on everyone's tits

so if you were maybe having the thought that he was just socially awkward on stage or something, rest assured that he's so hard to deal with that even the sonic fans can't put up with him

Yeah, nothing like looking at the top of runner's head. Awkward for those who have bald spots.

Seriously, the camera angles need adjusting.

it's the same camera angle as the game, it's for immersion :shepface:

The runner's sitting at the PC station and we couldn't really do better with the camera we had. The main layout when people are on the TVs should be better.

I hope everything works out for you guys. I will probably be watching this run live, since it's evening euro time.

tbf sunshine was fine, this is cuz he's playing a handheld game. there's no way to make a person look good when they're looking at a handheld or a phone, especially if you're fat (which the runner looks like he is)

How many "frame perfect"/"one frame trick" are actually so? I've always taken it as hyperbole for difficult to do.

this one actually is and there's no precise cue/buffer for it so it's pretty much just press the button and hope you make it

One thing I gotta say that the layout is absolutely gorgeous this year.

More than you'd think but the trick with that statement is that there's usually ways to buffer it or the game runs at a low framerate or something.

a lot of it is hyperbole* but most of it is also hard enough that it still very impressive

And in some cases frame perfect is 1/30th of a second instead of 1/60th, depending on how fast the game is running.

ALBW runs at 60fps and there's no buffer for it

also that early boss key in swamp palace is pixel perfect jsyk

I'm personally not that interested in LbW, but I feel like the runner & commentators have got somewhat more relaxed during this run.

another annoying aspect of 3ds speedruns is that the analog sticks don't let you make precise directional inputs. makes it really iffy to get consistent setups for precise tricks

I wonder if a Triforce heroes speedrun would be any good. Co-op runs are usually a blast in general.

Quite a few. But there's usually a way to prime your position for them to make them easier to hit.

It feels like, for the Zelda games more than anything, the skip names tend to be agglomerations of all that came before it. It's adorable. :allears:
