The SGDQ run of SM All Stars + SMW is wild. It’s a non-TAS run that uses ACE in SMW to basically beat each game super quick with some godmode abilities. The run is like 12 minutes and they explain a bit afterwords.

And then had it be an autorunner lol

This is the craziest poo poo I've ever seen. I thought it started off as a fun showcase and... even having seen previous years TAS blocks, they managed to do things that I'd thought impossible, and they surprised me in other ways too.

Just wanted to make sure no one sleeps on this. It's just mind-blowing. That loving finale bit.

Exactly. It's interesting if you are into ACE. (I am not.)

The most interesting part of ACE (or, for that matter, any speedrun involving weird memory manipulation glitches) is the in-depth text writeup explaining how it works. Live videos never have time to explain anything so they end up either jumping from an incomprehensible mess to the credits, or from an incomprehensible mess to a demo of the romhack they just applied.

In that regard it's also very worth watching Retro Game Mechanics Explained's (great channel btw) extremely in-depth, literally bit-by-bit explanation of how they did the code injection if you haven't:

That one pokemon yellow ACE tas wasn't actually romahcking it, it just wrote a movie player that used controller input as the movie. After which it could've displayed loving anything.

Has there ever been a speedrunner who's faked their own cheating scandal?

Hell, have there been sports players who have done that? I would assume at least a handful given just how many sports have been played over the centuries.

Do people doing parody speedruns with 'dream luck' count?

I think it was the same for Frost Fatales but it's a shame the event is US only meaning it basically only happens during the EU late evening/night time.

Thanks! I'm hoping I can somewhat live up to the other rhythm showcases that have been on GDQ. I've shown Groovy Mix at four other events, with a fifth upcoming about two weeks before Fatales, but they've all been much smaller streams.

I'd like for them someday to maybe extend it back three hours for a 9-10AM Eastern start to get a little more hours available, maybe when they can get more people trained up to run tech from the GDQ office.

The thing about those hours is you typically get a fairly large drop off in donations so there's a balancing act about how far you want to stretch your small team to cover those hours that, from the perspective of organizing a charity fundraiser, aren't accomplishing much.

Yes who is this "GDQ Studio" person, I demand to know how they got the same game in five times. Corruption right at the very heart of games done quick I suspect.

edit: I made a bad photoshop merging the sickos meme and Celeste here. Link = https://imgur.com/97wzs28 This is a new one; the original kept the sicko's stubble which is a very bad thing for a character that is trans. I'm a loving dumbass and did not think through the implication. I swear I meant no harm, but I'm obviously a massive loving dumbass.

gently caress I'm sorry I am a dumbass. I was just trying to merge my love of Celeste and the sicko meme. I've replaced it (I still had the GIMP file) with a less bad version and hidden it behind a link.

that is a seeker looking through the window at a novice speedrunner picking 5B because it's faster at high levels.
