Make no mistake, this is a VERY hard category even for the best Metroid runners in the world, NES Metroid truly doesn't screw around.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

Doesn't look like this was ever a race-safe category, but it's still a cool one.

CHX was still under estimate despite having rough Kraid fights too. That's how much of a wizard he is

Haven't caught much of this GDQ but I'm very excited for this Mega Man run.

This is absolutely insane

Dude's gotten farther in 7 minutes of a speedrun than I ever have in casual play of MM1.

I will burn my dread.

This run is just flagrantly rude to my 7 year old self.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

aside from the mediocre music, MM11 ended up being better than both 7 & 8 imo

Watched amad training this a lot before the event and the speed tech never stops to amaze me, it just looks so drat fluent when someone good runs it

I prefer the 2d/3d look 11 has rather than the intentionally pixel retro look 9 and 10 did

That honestly felt like watching a MMX TAS with the amount of silly weapon movement tech. Super fun run and really cool commentators/runner.

was X3's music always this bad? it sounds so dull

TeaJay

IMO the music in the X1 was perfect, took a nose dive in X2 (hard to remember any tracks standing out from it) but X3 again had some real bangers like Gravity beetle or Toxic seahorse stages.

Whoops, messed up the dates for when this was running. Any good runs so far to go back and watch?

the one hit KO megaman run that just happened this afternoon was amazing so keep an eye out for that VOD

also there were back to back WRs in the sonic block

Just cause 3 was good
Dragon age Origins was good
Ori race was good
MGS4 was good
Otogi was good
Ecco was good
Mega Man OHKO was good
Mega Man 11 was good

Really solid so far, I can't wait to VOD what I've missed and it's only tuesday. Although wednesday and thursday seem like we get a long rear end Pokemon/Golden sun run for most of the evening.

Sonic 1 was good, Sonic 3 AIR was good, Sonic Mania is a good run to watch if you've had too much coffee and/or meth :sludgepal:
