Yeah, does feel kind of meh that the entire race was just winner take all on the last level after the legendary performance of the dinosshoujo on every other stage.

to be fair, the dolphins were right there at the end and even had a late lead on multiple stages that the dinos won so it's not like they were dominating the first six stages

Also that format just makes it more exciting rather than the last round being meaningless because one team had more points already.

Barb is also easily the best player there, so it's hard to count him out. I would put Juz at second, but it seems like Shoujo did some work tonight.

dick move by GDQ with these run orders how am I supposed to go to sleep so I can wake up in the middle of the ffx run now

also did they cut even more stuff today other than the bonus game that they missed? It looks like the schedule jumped ahead another hour or two, Elden Ring is supposed to start before midnight now

Sounds like the Kaizo relay was worth a watch like earlier events.

I'm also unironically looking forward to the FFX run. I remember them running it at RRLAT a few years back and asking the runners how much it would shave off if they could skip cutscenes. I think they talked that a remover was under development then, and now we get to see it in action. (A regular run is something like 9-10 hours and today the estimate is four)

ping did not impact mario 35 at all due to how it worked, i was just a good deal better at that than him (but also middle of the road as far as the sm35 twitch crew went)

Ratchet and Clank is a great series that typically has some absolutely stupid skips

I'm very tired but gonna stay up as long as possible simply because it's R&C

all of them are extremely good runners in their own rights

Barb and juz are extremely good at level design and reading levels, Carl is extremely good at cape tech, and shovda and thirdwall have basically been de facto play testers for the last couple of years and are probably even more experienced with glitch tech than the others

if anything shoujo's technically the least experienced because she stuck to SMM2 only for a long time

watch shoujo if you aren't, she's working her way through Wiiware titles in addition to Mario stuff

this will include a certain game called la mulana

Yeah the schedule seems different, what actually happened?

Also I noticed Superhot VR isn't on there now as well (which I only remember because I was thinking 'this is the only game today I haven't heard of')

pokemon incentive bonus run was not met and several runs have gone way under estimate and the setup times have been a lot shorter, in addition to superhot vr and bloodstained being voluntarily axed by the runners for time
