Much like when I actually played FSA, this run is about twice as long as it needs to be.

Yeah I'm out. Really long speed runs really only work for me with like top tier games. I watched all 5 or whatever hours of Chrono Trigger the last time it was played, but I'm not feeling it for this.

This would be more interesting if it was a four player run. And then as long as they had the crazy five screen set up, they could follow it up with a speedrun of that Final Fantasy game.

SMRPG is a good speedgame, and LackAttack24 is a good speedrunner. It will be an excellent closer.

Yeah, unfortunately I had to tap out. It was interesting at first because some of those skips were really neat, but they just don't have the energy to carry this game for 2+ hours.

The single player systems break the game so much that most people aren't even interested in trying 4 player outside of the technical and geographical limitations involved.

Is there a speed reason why a bunch of these games are in their native Japanese? Because if I can't read the text, I'm lost about whats going on and its less of a "hey, I should play this" situation.

yes, it depends on the game, but generally speaking japanese text is faster to get through than other text

some games are an exception, I believe gta vice city does french

I almost went up there for this but then I realised how dumb driving 5 1/2 hours to watch über-dorks play video games all week was.

Shame too, because the hotel is literally five blocks from my sister's place.

The text is a lot more compressed since they can write words with a single symbol. Because there's less text, there's less textboxes to scroll through and the game is faster.

They said that for this one the only time difference is in the initial text. There may be some glitches that don't exist in the English version.

I know that SMRPG will be in English, and that the GDQ staff specifically requested the English version.

What Your Computer said, and because a lot of games have exploitable glitches in the Japanese version that got patched out for international releases.

Not to mention that the japanese version is generally the first 1.0 version of a lot of games, aka. the least patched version. A lot of insane bugs get fixed during the time it takes for the games to get an english release.

Oh, I know man. I love the Cities. We'll have to chill next time I'm up there.

Also was the Megaman stuff really that bad? I love the series, so is that enough or are we talking lovely runners/commentary?
