Competitive Yoshi's Cookie. YoCo. Also, no WTfJapan block makes me sad. So many neat games.

Are the f-zero guys coming back? Last year was the sweet combo of a very laid back run of the SNES game, followed by an intense run of the GX version. poo poo was great.

F-Zero last year was nice because the runner was really laid back and made decent commentary about cool shortcuts while also taking breaks to let people hear the cool soundtrack. It wasn't some amazing adrenaline rush, but this weirdly relaxed run that was a very appropriate primer for the crazy GX run.

They saw how popular the small F-Zero block was last year, and tried to expand that without understanding why it was popular. I guess they thought "Clearly ninety minutes of GX will be even better!"

If there's one good thing about these marathons, they do fix things where they can. It seems like every marathon people complain about the layout, and a few days in they change it to something more palatable (although this year's layout is pretty good to start with). I imagine they'll fix the runner cam for PC games eventually.

I guess there are so many 100% runs because they tend to be long and an easy way to fill up time. It's easy to have one game for like three hours with a runner than try to find six people willing to travel out there to do six half-hour Any% runs. The Battleblock run is enjoyable, but I can see why people would find three hours of this wearying.

This is like a giant disappointment. A Rayman Legends run with SV on the couch doing commentary, and we're not even going to get a run. Just showing random tech while doing stages over and over. Who thought this was a good idea

Yeah Boshy is really loving stupid and was made mostly as a bunch of in-jokes for streamers, I think? I guess it might be entertaining to watch, but it looks like an awful game.

I feel it is far, far more important to have an entertaining run than a good run. We saw plenty of good runs that bored everyone to tears, whereas Big Jon's commentary alone has made this a thing of beauty. And it's not like he's playing poorly. SMB2 in under 30 is crazy good.

Broken Cog posted:Could someone explain to me AGDQ's obsession with Super Metroid? I have heard that it's a good game for speedrunning, but centering the entire event(At least the donation system) around it every time seems really weird to me, especially since at this point all runs of it feel very similiar to each other(as a spectator), and it mostly comes down to small mistakes/lucky frame hits.

SatansBestBuddy posted:But that's what they did for Rayman Legends and it's probably the worst run yet. As Sonic Heroes showed, glitches can be fun as hell to show off. The problem is that such segments wouldn't last very long and thus tend to be bonuses thrown in at the end of a run if they have some extra time.
