furry drum circle posted:PoR might be boring but it really shouldn't be a fuckup. The run becomes Marcia airlifting Ike to the map objective where they both oneshot everyone and become engorged off exp snowballing. There's a couple rng moments with crit rolls etc but it shouldn't be anything as bad as, say, status effects or catch rate in a pokemon run.

Well this is going to be a fun showcase. Speaking of showcases, I wonder if GDQ should start a dedicated showcase block to show off these high skill, score attack games and the like. They could also just spend some time going over the basics of what speed running is and the different methods behind it. Dunno what you'd remove to make that a thing though. And since it's a week long event, having a fresher on Sunday isn't going to help new viewers on a Thursday.

I think the inevitable trainwreck with the one really bad runner are fun in their own ways. The Crash run from last marathon was pretty special.

GDQ trainwrecks suck when they are happening but are always so hilarious in retrospect. I look forward to this event's offerings.

Eonwe posted:also the run where the guy kept threatening to murder everyone He only threatened them once at the very end of the run. But the rest of it was equally terrible. I hope the GDQ staff did better with vetting the runners this year (although 1 out of however many people ran last time is a pretty good record). Speaking of things that are finally gone: No Touhou block this year.

the dmc4 run might own bc vergil is so stupidly powerful and DT rapid slash is the fastest way to move from point a to point b or maybe it'll be boring as balls and the guy just plays normally until he gets enough proud souls to get judgement cut end and does that every single fight

Normally I'd already be out there, helping set stuff up, but I caught something nasty early in the week (102.6F fever on Tuesday) so I had to push my flight back to tomorrow. Looking forward to being part of the first 4-way NES race Wednesday mid-day.
