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

Eh, it's kinda hard to tell how much you should be speaking, especially if no one tries to assert themselves in commentary. Don't be too harsh on the guy.

There's a lot to talk about but seriously holy poo poo, breathe a little, it's a fast game it can speak for itself sometimes.

Does the WR get all the skips/zips first try? I can't imagine where Fladervy lost 2 whole minutes :psyduck:

Also I was under the impression White Socks was doing a pretty good job with the commentary, I know that the dev didn't get to talk much, but Freedom Planet is a visually busy game and trying to watch it without someone explaining it is really confusing.

I dunno about all of them first try, but record's pretty loving optimised, yes.

the Dawn of Sorrow run was also really really nail-biting at the end

That was something like 3 years ago, when Dustforce was out for barely a year. Now we've got practiced folk and apparently one of two people capable of doing all-SS runs to completion.
This was SGDQ 2014, and last year it seems like they did Any% specifically to keep it reasonable.

Those levels are just super loving hard to complete, much less SS, and I'm not surprised it's a hard thing to pull off consistently.

I'm glad guacamelee is getting run, I like that game a lot. Also, freedom planet runner did really well! I was grateful for white socks guy explaining what was happening, because I would have been totally lost otherwise.

I just turned on Dustforce after years and I could barely complete the jumps in the tutorial. Those SS levels would destroy me. I wonder if I should use something besides the PS3 controller's lovely D-pad?

Oh yes, I only caught the latter part, including the fantastic ending.

I have to VOD Link's Awakening later. There's enough good and interesting blocks so I haven't been able to catch up during the event this year.

Yeah I like Guacamelee a lot, especially with the enhanced version that is not being run. Shame, since I like the new 'devil trigger' you get, but I imagine it lost a lot of the glitches that lets them move around. Plus adding the volcano that takes a while to get through.

French saves 5 seconds over the course of the run.

Maybe the enjoyment from the English-speaking audience viewing it matters more in a non-competitive marathon environment than five drat seconds?

This was a bad idea.

I wrote up a blurb but looks like its on the last page.

No mistake, the last set of levels is insanely hard, and the category itself is really punishing.
Its 112 SS's on yotta now, though. There are actually a handful of people that can finish ss all levels now, but Sivade's probably one of two that has the potential to really make it look amazing.

I use a ps3 pad for dustforce and like it quite a bit. dpad affinity is super personal preference, though. Unless you're dealing with the garbage original 360 controller dpad.

So I missed the start why is he playing as this character instead of the normal guy, who was there for like...a second?

Though, there should be a version for the other character, too. Maybe it was a shorter menu or something.

Yeah I think there is a costume for Juan that does the same, but the girl's costumes are after his. So I imagine it faster to just go to the bottom to grab her then scroll through all of his other outfits.

Ah got it.

I love strats like that. Where in a normal playthrough you'd really need to weight the pros and cons, but for speedrunning the con is irrelevant since you're always 1 hit away from dead.

I thought the commentary was good. I don't mind if people talk too much as long as poo poo is actually being explained, dev commentary doesn't especially help with cutting down word count either. I think you're overreacting.

As someone who is watching these more as a let's play than anything else, we have to recognize that this is a speedrunning event. While I don't personally care about saving ten seconds here and there, the people playing the game do.

He talked a bit too much, but both the dev and the runner were nervous mumbles. If you didn't point it out, I doubt I would have even noticed that he was a problem. Unless the dev complained himself, which I doubt, it's really not the problem you think it is. Better than 75% of other runs I've seen as far as commentary goes.

I'm mostly personally buttsore because it took like, hours of my time and like, two weeks to get Strife in that run all finalized and stuff and I might as well have not bothered for all the difference it made.

i'm also just not a fan of extremely motor mouth commentary in general, especially when a lot of it is redundant or wrong

I'm just gonna like, leave this here, because this is me right now, this is how I feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLWu4V56q10

Also, calling Fladervy a "nervous mumble" is a bit misleading. Dude can't really speak English.
