Puxweil's Chrono Trigger run was still a loving masterclass.

Lol was that the one where it was him and one person on couch just being super chill and nonchalant while the crowd was EXPLODING

with this in mind, what are the best GDQ endings? The Chrono Trigger endings were good, I remember Earthbound being really great and Undertale was one too, right?

undertale was especially memorable to help recover after The Incident, but i'm still a big fan of chrono trigger due to puwexil being such a class act and the huge energy that was in the crowd then

Wait -- I haven't even voted in this game yet!

I think this may be the best GDQ ever. This was an awesome run to end on, and the production all event long was amazing.

absolutely an all timer for me; even thought there weren't a ton of big runs i was interested in for the last few days, there were still a ton of incredible runs early in the marathon and the whole thing was organized so drat well

undertale and chrono trigger are high up there

smrpg is still my pick just because it and its end credits are perfect as a wrap-up for an event like this, even though they snuck a surprise sm64 run in as a bonus afterward.

super metroid race immediately before where people were doing the waluigi "waaahs" in the crowd and someone got on the couch with a mic and told them to go get hit by a bus. just the most rear end in a top hat-clenching moment possible that got saved by the undertale runner being such a gem

lol this poor runner's brain is spaghetti by now, i can't imagine how exhausting a run like this must be on top of the adrenaline from having nearly KOed your run

That's right. I remember the Super Metroid one now but didn't know about the MAGA hats.

maga hats was during the very first run and those three all got kicked out. the other guy was a friend of theirs so real big shock that he also sucked.

on a related note, one of the maga idiots later outed rwhitegoose as a neo nazi, they were the one that leaked the discord logs. a beautiful case of letting stupid fight stupid.

I'm not interested in FF5, so I went to catch up on the Awful Block and managed to come back right at antlion. This has been gripping and a phenomenal ending to a great event. Everyone killed it from the runners to hosting and tech. Really looking forward to the next one!

i genuinely can't believe he was able to be that composed during the closing run of the marathon as it looked so totally hopeless.

The Undertale finale is going to be my GDQ finale of all time, forever, with Chrono Trigger as a close runner-up, but this is probably an easy third place. That antlion was the true hero of FFV.

Guard reduces physical damage to 0, and Cover lets the Knight (Krile in this case) take hits for people on low HP. It's extremely useful on low-level runs, especially in FF5 when you can forcibly Berserk a lot of bosses.
