But you're going to have a lot of competition from D&D, probably going to have to branch out a bit more to reach the top.

Given all the people banned for stupid jokes and drama surrounding the event this year, I gotta say I'm more looking forward to potential trainwrecks than the event itself.

I do hope HC has a good TF run though, good buddies with him and he puts a ton of work into that stuff, plus the coop with Optimus Prime incentive is hilarious.

someone on steam told me that their favorite speedrun is seeing how fast I got banned from the IRC

Bullshit, I have literally never met a single person who wants to watch a Fire Emblem speedrun

FFT gets hosed every year, but nobody gives a single gently caress about Fire Emblem speedruns

im sure someone likes them, but fire emblem speedruns are awful for a marathon

you can do everything right but you'll just get poo poo stat growths

didnt they have to mercy kill a fire emblem run one time?

Yes a guy couldn't beat the last few levels because his growths were awful so the few levels he got weren't enough. Any game where that much RNG surrounds your characters stat growth is not marathon safe.

yea

there should be a GDQ rule

no Fire Emblem and no Binding of Isaac

would make the marathon better IMO

Internet Kraken posted:

I was gonna say you can't really get RNG screwed in BoI but then I realized when you're speedrunning you have to skip most of the level for optimal time and can easily end up with poo poo items as a result. And playing it with a fixed seed is just boring.

yea they did seeds in rebirth and in the original boi the guy complained that the computer was too good and then he died and they mercykilled the run

DoctorStrangelove posted:

At SGDQ the Isaac random run sucked rear end and then the runner showed off a run with a known seed and he just instantly got all the items and killed everything without any effort. So it's a lose/lose situation.

the hilarious thing is, with Azazel he didn't need a seed

playing as Azazel basically makes the run marathon safe because you and fly and you have a brimstone attack

done, you win

Im pretty sure i could do 20 runs in a row tonight with azazel and beat every boss without breaking a sweat with the exception of like, Hush

and you don't even have to do Hush in the marathon

Which is weird because there are plenty of RNG heavy runs that are good.

Spelunky, for example.

probably because even if the RNG fucks you in spelunky for items, you still have most of the tools you really need to beat the game

with binding of isaac you are basically actually building out the basic capabilities of your character throughout the game and if RNG fucks you, then you're hosed

The SGDQ Minecraft run required the runner to open up the dev console and spawn an item that is a 1/64 chance to drop off an uncommon enemy.

also it is basically just 'we know where everything is because its seeded, okay we'll do it really fast'

:jerkbag:

it was in there because it made a lot of money, and thats fine but its not a good speedrun

The AGDQ 2015 Minecraft run didn't happen for some reason, I don't know the details. However in its place we got the Vanquish run which ended up being one of the best runs of any GDQ event. It also got loads of donations due to all the stupid poo poo the guys on the couch were pulling. Holding hands was an impromtu donation incentive.

the runners apparently felt they had not put in enough practice and I think bowed out

which is good of them
