Re: The Speedrunning Thread

Really cliche but this run is one of the most interesting out there

Not because the run is extraordinarily phenominal but the commentary he provides really provides a lot of insight as to how much this game has changed over the years.

Re: The Speedrunning Thread

all this time and I didn't know you were dbx what the hell

also my body is ready for HL1

I'm a bit iffy with how it'll look with 4-player split-screen and the live-feed altogether...hopefully it won't be hard to see what's going on.

Uuuuuugh, this Starcraft run is boring. Maybe it's just because I'm not really in to those RTS games, haha.

At least some Valve games are next. Those are interesting to watch, dohoho.

That gif is glorious. Definitely a marathon highlight that won't be forgotten.

Re: The Speedrunning Thread

Also let's predict results of the SM Any% race

1. Zoast - 44:59 (seriously he can do casual 44's now)
2. Ivan - 45:16
3. Krauser - 45:35
4. Garrison - 46:00

That's if nothing ridiculous happens like dying to Draygon or something...dbx please drop knowledge

I'm rooting for Zoast just because he's the only runner I've seen in the other marathons and because he's fucking amazing at SM.

I'm rather surprised they decided to add SCII to the lineup. Doesn't seem like a good game to speedrun just in general, let alone when trying to entertain tens of thousands of people live.

TeamLiquid is usually a huge donor, and this is the time they plug a gigantic donation. Other than financial incentive, this is not a very entertaining speedgame.

It's amazing how he's telling this very involved story and all the while pulling off these crazy glitches like it's nothing

Re: The Speedrunning Thread

You guys have links to any of your favorite alltime runs?

This got bottom paged, and I'm just getting into speed running (better late than never) so I'm interested in seeing some more links/suggestions~

Yeah, that's Cosmo. He's a really good commentator with speedrunning in general. He can explain a trick, and mess on it, but still maintain his explanation without getting too angry.

I think in a previous marathon, someone ran Metroid Fusion and the commentary was amazing. He explained EVERYTHING that he was doing. It was the most entertaining run in that marathon. Shame I don't know the person's name or what marathon it was in.

Zoasty's 100% from SGDQ 2013 is a super amazing run for a marathon, and very entertaining. SnappyZ

WHAT THE FUCK that warp trick, holy shit

I would love to see how they figured that one out

nvm he explained it, jesus. That is the coolest glitch I think I've ever seen. Lots of logic underneath that one.

Cosmo is without a doubt my favorite person to watch. You should check out his Wind Waker runs if you have like 4+ hours to spare. Or watch his live run during the marathon Saturday.

Re: The Speedrunning Thread

Lots of free time and boredom probably, haha.

It's like how people find the most random stuff in Super Mario World.

I mean, who in the world comes UP with this?

I posted this earlier in the thread, but you seem interested in this, so there you go.

He's... beating Ganon with a Deku stick

I gotta watch all these other vids, I feel like I've been missing out on some serious gaming history or something.
