I like when the commentary is so good that I can boot the game up if I own it and try out the tricks on my own.

I'd hope they're doing it unscripted, seeing as "no scripts" is part of the ruleset they use

That didnt use to be a rule.

yeah the SDA forums are pretty good for a laugh from time to time.


there was a game I don't recall right now who's thread I read where there were pages and pages of people talking strats and posting times. A little rivalry formed between people taking "world record"


then finally on page like 14 someone posted a link to the Japanese runs that existed before the thread was made and were better than the best western one.

my favorite speedrun trick's in i think jedi knight. the dev's didnt give diagonal movement its own speed so if you're going diagonally the game treats you as going sideways and going forward at the same time so you go twice as fast lol

first draft of the schedule is up

expect drops/adds as more and more 12 years olds actually bother asking their parents if they can go


also for the marathon to be hours and hours behind schedule when it's running anyway thanks to setup delays.

Races are pretty cool if either

a) there's good commentary explaining the game
b) you don't need good commentary

most of the time the runners are too concerned with winning for their honor or getting more twitch followers than the other guy to actually explain the game


Basically they saw how much everyone LOVED the Super Metroid race at AGDQ 14 and wanted to copy it's success without actually putting any thought into what made it such a fan favorite.

There was a really cool Ocarina of Time all dungeons race one year where the two players basically took opposite routes through the game and then synced up almost frame-perfect about 10 minutes from the end.
