NEW THREAD SIGLEMIC ABOUT TO BREAK RECORD get your ass in here

[Charu]

My body is ready for whatever the Sonic 2006 run has to bring.

...Yes, I'm excited for that because I just want to... I just want to see what the heck they do for that game.

Spikevegeta the cheetah's rendition of the super monkey ball 2 cutscene was classic

at least I think that was spike 0_o (mighta been raelcun i get them mixed up...)

[hi19hi19]

btw I remember last year there was a graph showing viewer count over time.
It had a color-coded background with stripes representing the game being played (thicker stripes for a longer run) and it was really interesting to view. Someone said they were making it again for this year's run but I lost the link, if anyone comes across it please link it for me <3

Surprisingly, The music in 06 was quite good

[hi19hi19]

lolol Starcraft run

Raelcun is a cool guy

[DarkbearX]

A list of games I've most enjoyed so far:

Mischief Makers - Love da controller cam. This game is insane

Yoshi's Island - Best of the best speedran this. Carl Sagan is an awesome guy

Banjo Kazooie - Glad Stivitybobo could make it. Really awesome run.

SMRPG - Cyghfer fan reporting in. Love the menu navigation lol, such an intricate
speedrun, really enjoyable to watch

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts - PJ fan reporting in. This game is incredibly hard to speedrun, especially the torch route which is important for lag reduction

MTPO - ...Sinister fan reporting in. Blind punchout! What a freakin beast. pls watch this.

SMB3 - tjp didn't freeze the game this time around!

SMW Race - Always a joy to watch Dram. For a marathon his run was pretty slick. Shame about losing Yoshi before the first clip though

Super Meat Boy - Awesome listening to Team Meat's reactions to a speedrun of this game! And breakdown is incredible at this game

Left 4 Dead - Flicky makes anything fun to watch. Generally chill guy.

Gimmick! - Cyghfer fan reporting in. Holy hell for a marathon run this is -insane-. Must watch and probably one of the highlights of the whole entire marathon

DKC 1 and 2 - tjp/tompa race! tjp is wr holder of dkc1. ofc big shoutouts to twig.

SMB2 - Sad Naegleria was on the couch bitching and whining like a baby the whole time, but it was a good run. Miles is truly a good gamer, I wish MP appealed to me more because I know my mind would be blown if i cared enough

Bio Force Ape - Maybe I'm biased but this game is amazing lol shoutouts to gari the super metroid any% world record holder

Pocky & Rocky - MYSTERY GAME! I am SO happy this was in the marathon. This game is fast paced, hard, and cute. 3 good components of a game. Mr. K and PJ blew it away. Sick speedrun.

Runs I'm looking forward to for the rest of the marathon:

Octodad - because this game is really funny

VVVVVV - because fieryblizzard is insane at this game

Goldeneye - because this game makes one hell of a speedrun and bassboost is a notable player on the-elite.net as far as I know. Really happy 007 is blowing up on speedrunslive

Super Metroid - Okay this is a no-brainer. Garrison is the world record holder of this game, and this is one of the most influential and important speedrunning games out there. This cannot be missed by anyone. the absolute first mustsee of this whole marathon and I shit you not

Contra Block - Contra 3 mainly, because I played the shit out of that game as a child. Got pretty decent at it and used to be able to run it casually on hard, but no where near Mr. K Status

Zelda II - Feasel fan reporting in. This game is -incredibly- difficult. Feasel makes it (and any game) look like a cakewalk.

Alttp - Please, this is Cyghfer. God gamer IMO. Trained by none other than our favorite female WR holder Kryssstal (with 3 s)

Oot 100% - I'm a fan of Runnerguy although I'm not big on OoT

YEAH BOY

[DarkbearX]

also lol anyone noticed that mirrored follows cosmo around like a lost puppy? lol weirdo stares him down and shit... feel sorry for cosmo tbh

[Coolboyrulez0]

hahaha yes
Maybe it's because I find both PJ and Mr. K charismatic, but I think that was the perfect game for them to run. Additonally Blueglass comments, as always, provided entertainment as well: "reminds me of okami!"
Plus it looks like a really fun game on it's own, speedrun or not and I hadn't heard of it before. Surprise favorite of mine so far this year.

[hi19hi19]

Raelcun is goofing up SC2 pretty bad imo but it's still a fun run.

Awesome to see Steiner as Violet hit 10k donations too

EDIT- omg hype for octodad but I'm going to miss it fuuuuuuuuu hopefully I can see the VoD

[foxfire667]

[Coolboyrulez0]

20 trinket speedrun, then. There's a guy called Microdice that did a 1-trinket run on no death mode in 14m 20s or something, and that was with a few seconds pause on The Villi People.

Also, doesn't v1.2 require you to die to get the trinket in Prize for the Reckless?
