[00:00:00] Hello everybody and welcome to the first inaugural Wrong Hole Only Open,ought to you by complaining,

[00:00:16] complaining it just works! My name is Sponge Nicely and I'm joined today

[00:00:21] by one of the greatest to ever play the game, Mr. Wedge Chippington.

[00:00:25] Wedge how do you feel about our competitors chances today?

[00:00:31] Incredible! That's the kind of quality feedback you only get from one

[00:00:35] of the best to ever do it.

[00:00:38] Before we begin, we would like to have a brief moment

[00:00:41] of silence in remembrance of our good friend Scent.

[00:00:44] He's fine. We just wanted to remember him thank you and with that moment of silence out

[00:00:50] of the way let's introduce our players for today's game first with the pink ball we have Blonde Cave on.

[00:00:57] Woohoo! It's me! I'm here!

[00:01:01] With the pinwheel ball we have JPEG

[00:01:05] Hello, I'm...

[00:01:07] I'm JPEG.

[00:01:08] I bring Panache, Moxie

[00:01:09] and a certain Je ne sais quoi.

[00:01:12] And finally with the blue ball

[00:01:13] we have reigning champion Gondor.

[00:01:16] Hi, I am Gondor

[00:01:18] and I can't confirm or deny where

[00:01:21] I was when the Westfold fell

[00:01:22] just saying

[00:01:23] One final note

[00:01:27] we encourage cheering, screaming, laughing for our golfers but

[00:01:32] we do want to respect the sanctity of the game and request that you keep your

[00:01:35] claps to a reasonable volume.

[00:01:42] Exceptional work, thank you so much and with that golfers are you ready?

[00:01:46] Ostensibly

[00:01:48] I guess as ready as one gets so let's get started with the first inaugural wrong hole open in three

[00:01:57] two one golf one. Golf.

[00:02:05] Starting out on our first hole,

[00:02:07] our runners are going to let me take over because this is actually one of

[00:02:09] the most difficult holes they're going to deal with.

[00:02:11] The setup at the beginning is exceptionally difficult,

[00:02:14] and as they are required to get a hole in one

[00:02:16] in order for the wrong hole to count

[00:02:18] that set up needs to be extremely precise

[00:02:21] Oh we see Blancayvon already with

[00:02:23] a heartbreaker inches away

[00:02:25] from sinking it. A rare

[00:02:27] double bogey from the champion.

[00:02:30] Oh, and JPEG

[00:02:31] with a very nice shot there.

[00:02:33] But hole-in-one from Gondor puts him firmly in the lead.

[00:02:37] JPEG however likely to catch up by virtue of just being pretty cool.

[00:02:46] Thank you for that, actually.

[00:02:49] Blonde Kavon moving on to hole two now.

[00:02:50] You'll notice on hole two it's a fairly straightforward shot

[00:02:53] where you need to go.

[00:02:55] The problem, of course is the power. Oh but Kayvon sinks it

[00:02:59] like a master! Absolutely excellent work.

[00:03:03] Lots of jump Excellent work.

[00:03:08] Lots of jumpies on this hole for Gondor. Now when you do jump the ball,

[00:03:10] you can control some of your momentum

[00:03:14] but controls a strong word for anything

[00:03:16] you do in Golf It.

[00:03:18] It's more of a hit the spacebar

[00:03:20] and pray that it does what you want.

[00:03:22] As the core mechanic

[00:03:24] of Golf It is also to

[00:03:25] push the mouse

[00:03:27] and pray that it does what you want.

[00:03:32] It is just unbelievable

[00:03:33] the quality of play that we are seeing from these

[00:03:35] three, can you believe it? Hey quality of play that we were saying from these three. Don't you dare, don't you dare.

[00:03:38] Hey, commentator

[00:03:40] I know this is a little bit meta but would

[00:03:41] you like to explain some of the

[00:03:43] features that are different

[00:03:45] from a normal golf playthrough?

[00:03:47] What are you talking

[00:03:49] about this is totally perfectly normal golf play through i'm not sure what you mean

[00:03:53] i actually i've been talking plenty i think i'll leave that one to wedge excuse you thanks wedge um so how this differs

[00:04:06] from a regular game of golf it is our players are only allowed to get

[00:04:10] the ball in the wrong hole so if you are on the tee for hole one you are allowed

[00:04:15] to go in any hole from 2 through 18 but not not Hole 1. If any of our players do land in the correct

[00:04:22] hole they will be donating... how much? 50. $50 yes, $50 if you make

[00:04:28] the cardinal sin. I'm about to do it right now

[00:04:32] the only problem of course with this approach is that

[00:04:36] when you are shooting for the wrong hole if you land on the green

[00:04:40] of another hole,

[00:04:40] the game will reset your ball to where you started

[00:04:43] the shot. So ostensibly every wrong hole has to be a hole in one

[00:04:47] meaning rather than normal putt-putt where our players may be able to get close

[00:04:53] to the hole with a series of putts.

[00:04:56] In this situation, the players have to play a real game

[00:04:59] and really nail their shots.

[00:05:01] Dondor now on hole 10 one of the

[00:05:04] more difficult holes for most players gandor had a rare hole in one on this

[00:05:08] and warm up an oh three in the actual run some

[00:05:11] exceptional work from Gondor.

[00:05:13] Seeing a little bit of heat coming out of JPEG is the head shape that we're working on.

[00:05:17] Yeah, can you stop complimenting it?

[00:05:21] I will never compliment Gondor again in my life.

[00:05:27] Oh, that's sad.

[00:05:30] Oh, you're beautiful.

[00:05:31] Thank you.

[00:05:32] What did I just say?

[00:05:34] Oh my god, I can't focus now. Thank you. What did I just say?

[00:05:37] Oh my god, I can't focus now.

[00:05:40] Oh cool!

[00:05:44] Hey um...I complained and guess what happened? It worked! Complaining.

[00:05:45] It just works.

[00:05:49] Now you may notice that on most

[00:05:51] of these holes our players are getting to

[00:05:53] a similar spot on the green of the intended hole or they're just shooting

[00:05:57] directly from the tee there are quite precise setups to make sure that your angle is correct

[00:06:02] that you have a shot that's possible to get um on each of these holes, you will see

[00:06:07] for example...

[00:06:07] Very nice. You do love to see it.

[00:06:12] Now the bounce out is

[00:06:13] something that can happen in

[00:06:14] Golf It! Particularly in wrong hole only as we are using

[00:06:17] wedges and drivers on what would otherwise be a putt-putt course.

[00:06:21] A bounce out is of course when the ball goes into the hole

[00:06:25] and then bounces out of the hole. this case jpeg's ball bounced back

[00:06:29] in so it was a legal play moving her on to the next hole all right here we go. Bonus hole!

[00:06:41] Oh, exceptional work!

[00:06:43] Yes that is one of the opportunities

[00:06:45] players have to get their ball into

[00:06:47] what we call a bonus hole, which are secret hidden

[00:06:49] holes around the map.

[00:06:51] Oh!

[00:06:54] Oh!

[00:06:55] There we go.

[00:06:57] Beautiful work.

[00:07:00] Kevin's got a really really nice oh and you hate to see it bounce out like that was such a good

[00:07:04] lineup but Kevin always a perennial competitor is not going to let that stop him

[00:07:11] all right we're good oh and there it is a beautiful shot from heaven except oh

[00:07:15] that was close i'm gonna try this from the start i shouldn't do

[00:07:19] this jpeg go in for some backup strats?

[00:07:21] Feeling confident? Not really!

[00:07:29] I'm just trying to girlboss way through this right now, okay?

[00:07:32] Well

[00:07:33] As we always say in the golf community

[00:07:37] Girl boss

[00:07:38] Gatekeep

[00:07:40] Golf ball Golf ball gatekeep.

[00:07:47] That's right folks, girl boss gatekeep golf ball

[00:07:51] I'm literally begging.

[00:07:57] All right, fine, I'll do the regular setup video for this. Kevin's already on graveyard so he can't be in graveyard.

[00:07:59] Can I just write hole for like several?

[00:08:07] I don't need to pay a mortgage or anything hey husband you're watching

[00:08:13] two of our runners have now moved on to graveyard the main mechanic of graveyard is this large funnel it is actually the hole for

[00:08:17] whole seven but it is accessible from a majority

[00:08:20] of the holes in the graveyard which will allow both

[00:08:23] of our players and very soon jpeg to be

[00:08:28] directly into the funnel and then the ball will eventually roll into

[00:08:33] the center and go into the hole. The problem, of course, is there are several

[00:08:36] fake holes on

[00:08:38] the funnel if the ball goes into a fake hole

[00:08:40] that it's a reset because a fake

[00:08:42] hole is not a wrong hole. Important

[00:08:44] distinction. As we are watching these two runners drop into the funnel

[00:08:49] a couple times you'll notice that they're trying to get close to the center of the funnel

[00:08:53] it is possible to hit the outside of the funnel and then start to roll around the

[00:08:57] funnel. And rolling around

[00:08:59] the funnel is slow, it takes quite a long

[00:09:01] time but you don't necessarily want to reset

[00:09:03] because it isn't guaranteed

[00:09:05] in the hole at that point.

[00:09:07] So a difficult decision if you reset and shoot again,

[00:09:10] or just take the time loss waiting for it to slowly

[00:09:12] and sadly roll to the middle.

[00:09:16] It is pretty depressing.

[00:09:17] Very nice lineup from JPEG on this hole I think this

[00:09:21] probably a good time for some donations yeah oh wonderful because I have plenty

[00:09:26] of donations for you here's's $20 from Quinton,

[00:09:29] who says, Go Golf It Team! Y'all are awesome and

[00:09:33] you got this. Hole in one every time right? Right?!

[00:09:37] First time every time.

[00:09:39] Don't ever change, y'all and trans rights indelibly!

[00:09:47] Trans rights baby!

[00:09:49] Thank you Quentin.

[00:09:55] My monitor just went black

[00:09:59] Oh that's exciting.

[00:10:00] Okay I'm gonna just turn around and try to do this on the main screen.

[00:10:08] Oh, oh! And it went into vision... okay we're fine, you're back. Oh and I went into vision...

[00:10:12] Okay we're fine, we're fine.

[00:10:14] Some exceptional work from JPEG there.

[00:10:16] Fighting bad agents.

[00:10:18] Can you both just like hang out for a while or something?

[00:10:20] I got a halo because I'm perfect, thank you.

[00:10:23] That's true.

[00:10:25] I'll wait to see her on the next map.

[00:10:27] I do want to take a moment to remind you of some

[00:10:29] other sponsors of this first

[00:10:31] inaugural Wrong Hole Open The first inaugural Wrong Hole Open.

[00:10:32] The first inaugural Wrong Hole Open is sponsored by the Mayonnaise Hospital.

[00:10:37] The Mayonnaise Hospital,

[00:10:39] the only legally distinct hospital...

[00:10:43] We were so proud of ourselves when we came up with that,

[00:10:46] and I should not have been.

[00:10:48] I'm gonna be so real,

[00:10:49] I can't tell on the stream,

[00:10:50] Can y'all see the sign?

[00:10:53] Is the sign visible on screen or should I hold it on screen because it opened your eyes

[00:11:00] oh you could probably do a couple more donations while I'm fighting for my life.

[00:11:07] That I can do! Here's $25 from Atelier Zeno, who says...

[00:11:13] Oh no! I don't think any of these shots are going in the right hole.

[00:11:18] No they're not.

[00:11:21] That's okay. Do you have time for more?

[00:11:25] Yes. Here is $50 from me. That's okay. Do you have time for more? Yes!

[00:11:27] Here is $50 from Chibi Carrera

[00:11:31] Hello wife!

[00:11:35] They're saying hello back, they would like to say, JPEG!

[00:11:37] What an incredible person you are.

[00:11:39] You're an amazing host and amazing social media team

[00:11:42] member and an amazing runner of Silly Game?

[00:11:45] What can't you do?

[00:11:46] Seriously, you're wonderful and literally

[00:11:48] the funniest person I know.

[00:11:50] Congrats on Wrong Hole Only

[00:11:52] and good luck with the race!

[00:11:54] Love you!

[00:11:55] You were the one that made me survive that, thank you very much.

[00:12:00] That is too true. JPEG is a hilarious individual. All three of these golfers really funny people and really exceptional athletes.

[00:12:09] I do want to talk a little bit...

[00:12:11] You're gonna call us hot!

[00:12:13] You are?

[00:12:15] I mean, I wasn't going to say it but yeah, like look at you

[00:12:17] smoking. Look at these outfits outfits are you kidding me?

[00:12:20] I've never wanted

[00:12:21] to smooch the homies more

[00:12:22] hey welcome

[00:12:25] to Chili Block everybody

[00:12:26] are you good?

[00:12:28] yeah

[00:12:29] yes

[00:12:29] yeah I do want to talk a little bit about some of the core mechanics

[00:12:34] of this golf game. Now we have talked about what makes Wrong Hole only unique,

[00:12:37] but Golf It in general is a game controlled pretty much primarily, if not completely by your mouse.

[00:12:45] You use the mouse to find the angle that you will be shooting at and then click to bring the putter or

[00:12:52] driver, or wedge out whichever club you deem best

[00:12:56] for your current situation. And then you will

[00:13:00] pull the mouse back and push the mouse forward

[00:13:03] in order to hit the ball

[00:13:06] in the direction that you have aimed.

[00:13:09] The problem, of course, is that

[00:13:12] our golfers are fairly convinced

[00:13:15] that there may be a power randomizer built into the game

[00:13:17] wherein it feels like,

[00:13:22] oh thank goodness that went in exceptional.

[00:13:24] My soul left my body.

[00:13:25] You love to see it.

[00:13:26] Wow.

[00:13:26] An eagle.

[00:13:27] One of the best kinds of scores to get on this America's birthday.

[00:13:37] Yeah. Come here. america's birthday yeah can we get a happy birthday america

[00:13:45] i can't believe every american was born on this day just like how all horses are born on January 1st.

[00:13:48] Look that up.

[00:13:50] Not like right now, but I think.

[00:13:51] Please watch the rest of this

[00:13:53] and then look it up.

[00:13:55] But yes, the power

[00:13:56] randomizer though not proven

[00:13:58] is believed in by many golf

[00:14:00] professionals. The power randomizer

[00:14:02] is the conspiratorial

[00:14:04] belief that when you pull the mouse back

[00:14:07] and push forward the same amount on

[00:14:09] two different shots, it will go

[00:14:11] two different distances

[00:14:13] because consistency

[00:14:15] in your performance does not always reflect into consistency

[00:14:18] In the performance of the ball

[00:14:20] Oh my god

[00:14:21] 26?

[00:14:22] No it was a 36

[00:14:24] A 36 on round or absolutely incredible on Graveyard.

[00:14:28] You get to continue to live with me.

[00:14:30] Congratulations.

[00:14:31] Hooray!

[00:14:33] Condor moving on now

[00:14:34] to our third and final map, Pirates.

[00:14:39] And you may notice on the pirate map

[00:14:41] much like we had the funnel

[00:14:43] to rely on for the graveyard

[00:14:45] We now have the cannons to rely on

[00:14:47] So you will see the runners aiming for

[00:14:48] the cannon from many different angles the

[00:14:51] difference being uh the hitbox on a canon is slightly

[00:14:55] smaller than the hip box on a giant funnel

[00:14:58] just a little.

[00:15:02] I do think we could take one or two more donations at this point.

[00:15:04] Shirley, Shirley, here's five dollars

[00:15:06] for you from Satan herself

[00:15:08] who says

[00:15:09] a little birdie told me about a three-way golf it race is that

[00:15:15] a triple bogey either way you are hitting it out of the park.

[00:15:20] I hope you've all been in the green this whole time.

[00:15:24] Much love from The Back Couch.

[00:15:27] Thank you, Back Couch. We love you!

[00:15:30] Claps for puns. Really wonderful stuff. We love you. Hi

[00:15:33] Claps for puns really, really wonderful stuff

[00:15:37] Can we squeeze in a couple more? Absolutely

[00:15:42] Oh good because we have ten dollars from Madge Danvers, who says,

[00:15:44] Thanks Wedge. Very insightful.

[00:15:50] Wedge really was one of the greatest to ever play this game.

[00:15:53] It is reported, though it was sadly a practice room PB

[00:15:55] so it cannot be confirmed but it was

[00:15:57] reported that Wedge got a one minute

[00:15:59] record. That's right

[00:16:01] all three maps in one minute.

[00:16:03] I know, exceptional work and for somebody with no arms.

[00:16:08] 10 out of 10 work Wedge.

[00:16:12] Well here we go.

[00:16:15] And none left. Well, here we go. And you'll notice now hole 6 looking very similar to holes 1

[00:16:19] and also 2 and also 3. It's a lot of cannon in this map

[00:16:23] but the way that we get to the cannon is different there is one

[00:16:26] coming up a few holes from now for our golfers where you can just barely see

[00:16:32] the back end of the cannon between the slats

[00:16:35] of some of the bamboo and it's a really exceptional beautiful moment

[00:16:40] when you just squeeze through those slats

[00:16:43] and nail it right on the cannon.

[00:16:46] This is one in particular where the cannon's not particularly visible,

[00:16:49] but they know in their hearts where it is.

[00:16:53] And if you just follow your heart...

[00:16:55] You'll always find a cannon.

[00:16:56] ...you can play golf.

[00:16:59] That too.

[00:17:01] We can probably do a couple more donations.

[00:17:04] Shirley, Shirley

[00:17:05] we have $170 from Bloop Queen.

[00:17:09] Wow!

[00:17:10] Who says all horses

[00:17:13] and

[00:17:14] all speedrunners

[00:17:16] are born on January 1st. Speedrunners are born on January 1st. Speed runners usually around 1201 if it's a personal best. That's so true. It was my sister, High Glove Queen.

[00:17:30] Thank you so much.

[00:17:32] Do you have time for a few more?

[00:17:33] We do.

[00:17:34] Here is $10 from Atitree who says this run is like the hotel elevators.

[00:17:40] The way I want to swipe those cardigans

[00:17:42] y'all are looking sharp and playing great.

[00:17:44] Keep it up!

[00:17:45] Oh my God!

[00:17:47] So clever.

[00:17:51] It's really funny as to ever do it, thank you.

[00:17:55] Do we have time for a few more? We do.

[00:17:57] Wonderful! Here is $5 from Wolf

[00:17:59] Plains who says this stream brought to you by Golf It.

[00:18:02] Golf It, where any hole is a goal.

[00:18:08] That is incredibly true. And I do want to take a moment to shout out some more of our first inaugural Wrong Hole Open sponsors, including The Concept of Jazz.

[00:18:20] The Concept of Jazz... it's all about the golf you don't play! the concept of jazz.

[00:18:22] It's all about the golf you don't play.

[00:18:26] Wow, a hole-in-one

[00:18:27] again from Gondor

[00:18:29] really looking like

[00:18:30] JPEG is moments away

[00:18:31] from simply strangling the runner next to her

[00:18:34] which well a violation not a disqualification that would only be

[00:18:38] a two-stroke penalty for a chokeout as long as a legal hold is used my water's milk

[00:18:53] exceptional work over here. The good news is

[00:18:55] that the milk water does not change the physics

[00:18:59] Mostly because we don't touch it, because I'm sure if we touched it would

[00:19:03] Oh absolutely. Please rope I'm begging.

[00:19:05] To be fair we don't know enough about how the physics

[00:19:07] work to know if they changed.

[00:19:09] That's very accurate.

[00:19:11] We only have like 200 hours in this so...

[00:19:13] And we still don't understand the game

[00:19:16] and we haven't recommended it on steam

[00:19:21] would you though yeah kind of maybe hang on if he wins no Hang on.

[00:19:27] If he wins, no.

[00:19:28] Yeah, true.

[00:19:32] Don't do this to yourself.

[00:19:35] Oh, so close but just hitting the barrier there for Gondor. 17

[00:19:37] giving a little bit of trouble, so he's

[00:19:39] going to try a different setup.

[00:19:43] Ooh, 18

[00:19:44] is right up there.

[00:19:46] A little difficult. always harder to shoot

[00:19:48] up than to shoot down in a game of golf but gondor just

[00:19:52] a beautiful shot exceptional triple bogey are you serious how fast did you

[00:19:56] just do that? Sorry.

[00:19:59] No, that's true. That was beautiful. Kevin!

[00:20:02] Kevin is the only one who does that hole that way.

[00:20:04] This is the last hole for me so I'm coming up on time here in a second.

[00:20:08] And that is time

[00:20:11] wonderful work from gondor but jpeg with an incredible comeback already now

[00:20:16] on hole 17 after quite the deficit early in the run. Looking like

[00:20:20] they may be able to pull it back.

[00:20:24] Oh, that depends on how 17 goes.

[00:20:28] May I bring you a very relevant donation?

[00:20:31] Yes!

[00:20:32] You get $15 from Kevin of Computer, who says

[00:20:35] I'm a sucker for an underdog story.

[00:20:37] So go JPEG! Get the wrong hole not the right one!

[00:20:40] Thank you! go jpeg get the wrong hole not the right one thank you

[00:20:43] kevin hit time by the way oh sorry

[00:20:48] don't look, guys!

[00:20:55] Oh. Oh. Please.

[00:20:58] Very close now we are going for that bar cannon and that is the same cannon as

[00:21:02] we've used for the very first hole making a

[00:21:07] oh i've never actually done that before

[00:21:11] oh that has in fact never happened before

[00:21:26] as we come up on time for our final runner, I want to make sure we shout out the final sponsor of the first inaugural wrong hole open.

[00:21:30] And that is Steve.

[00:21:32] Just Steve. Just Steve.

[00:21:37] Steve!

[00:21:41] Thank you, Steve. Okay... barely got it.

[00:21:43] One more. Alright this is the final

[00:21:45] hole for JPEG. Nope!

[00:21:49] Oh? Nope.

[00:21:51] So close.

[00:21:53] This one you just gotta gently kiss it which i'm still not doing

[00:21:59] too much lip so that's too much Wait, wait, wait! Time.

[00:22:07] We need to get up stage.

[00:24:30] What up GDQ? I'm the Retro Hunter,

[00:24:32] Speedrunner of retro video games!

[00:24:33] We getting silly or what?! Yeah! That's what I'm the Retro Runner, speedrunner of retro video games. You getting silly or what?

[00:24:36] Yeah! That's what I'm talking about.

[00:24:38] Uh...I'm going to introduce you

[00:24:40] to a Halloween-infused

[00:24:42] fever dream of an NES game called

[00:24:44] Monster Party. This game is very near and dear to my heart,

[00:24:47] lots of nostalgia teeming with charm

[00:24:49] and just like bizarre dialogue

[00:24:51] and bosses

[00:24:53] You play as Mark a little boy who gets visited by

[00:24:55] a gargoyle named bert yeah that's his actual name

[00:24:59] uh who beckons mark to help him save his home world from an invasion of monsters and

[00:25:04] mark very reasonably is like listen i'm just just a little boy and I have no weapons.

[00:25:10] And Bert's like, ah, see you got baseball back there

[00:25:12] that's probably fine.

[00:25:14] Not even making this up

[00:25:15] I'm not exaggerating

[00:25:16] This is the actual game As mark you can jump you can hit things

[00:25:20] with your bat you can hold uh the b button which will extend mark's bet and continuously do damage

[00:25:26] if you press down during a jump he he will jut down and Mark can even

[00:25:29] do the worm which is tech we'll showcase

[00:25:31] in this run. Really quick there are

[00:25:33] three items that you can get. You can get health

[00:25:35] you can get a pill which for

[00:25:37] time turns you into Bert

[00:25:39] who can fly and shoot projectiles.

[00:25:41] And you can get a question mark

[00:25:43] which can either be points, health,

[00:25:45] a pill or nothing at all.

[00:25:47] But without further ado

[00:25:49] I'm just going to let this game be the bizarre game that it is.

[00:25:54] Countdown...

[00:25:56] 3... 2... 1... Go!

[00:26:01] Alright so there's not like that

[00:26:03] much honestly to the gameplay of this game

[00:26:05] it's all about going in these doors and

[00:26:07] fighting these bosses

[00:26:09] There are eight rounds and each round has requisite bosses that you have to

[00:26:14] defeat before the game lets you proceed to the next round. Real quick, look at give it

[00:26:19] up for this guy who's stuck in the ground trying to get out.

[00:26:22] Look at those legs!

[00:26:23] Come on, come on.

[00:26:26] Coming up we have one of my favorite bosses

[00:26:31] and video game history. I don't know if you can see it,

[00:26:33] but it's actually on my shirt. He has a lot to say... Sorry

[00:26:37] I'm dead. Don't beat yourself

[00:26:41] up! Don't beat yourself up.

[00:26:49] Okay, you pass this totally not a cactaur

[00:26:53] The stage completely changes.

[00:26:55] There's something just in this round

[00:26:57] we call ledge boosting, basically

[00:26:59] we just route the

[00:27:01] route around Mark

[00:27:03] walking off of as many ledges as possible.

[00:27:05] It actually boosts him one pixel to the right

[00:27:09] Please don't pick on me, and then he attacks us.

[00:27:19] That was actually a decent fight.

[00:27:22] It's pretty good. so Try to get to the next round here.

[00:27:40] Do you have time for a really quick donation?

[00:27:49] Um, sure. Sure.

[00:27:51] Here's $50 from Anonymous who says,

[00:27:53] Sorry! I'm dead.

[00:27:55] Sorry...I'm Shred.

[00:27:58] Yo give it up for Reverse Mermaids!

[00:28:00] Come on look at these enemies so good!

[00:28:05] Originally there's a prototype of this game that never came out because originally all these bosses were like

[00:28:12] Universal Studio Monsters and Hollywood movie IPs. That one was supposed to be Medusa.

[00:28:24] You can use a couple of these, I guess we'll call them sewage pipes

[00:28:28] To warp to different parts of the stage.

[00:28:31] And we're also using something called bat boosting,

[00:28:34] which is turn around at the last minute after we've

[00:28:36] batted an enemy.

[00:28:37] Here we have the Tempura boss rush.

[00:28:42] We got tempura shrimp

[00:28:50] uh here we have i think that this is a squid ring i I would call it a galamon.

[00:28:52] Some people think it's an onion ring.

[00:28:54] You can say whether you're team onion ring or team squid ring in chat. A little bit of the worm there, you'll see that again later though.

[00:29:11] You gotta really showcase how awesome that

[00:29:13] animation is.

[00:29:27] Uh... Okay, so this boss is like a reference to the ring. You know? Like a Ringu sort of deal.

[00:29:35] You don't want to take too much damage there because

[00:29:39] then you get risk of death but we're pretty good on health right now.

[00:29:47] More bat boosting...

[00:29:51] I'll just get past you there.

[00:29:53] Some health......and some health! I'll just get past the other...some health.

[00:29:58] That should probably not kill that. Okay, that like all the enemies in this game have static item drops.

[00:30:22] But this is kind of balanced by enemy spawns being affected by items that you get.

[00:30:30] Certain enemies won't spawn if you obtain certain items

[00:30:34] or kill certain enemies, so what we're gonna do is there's a...

[00:30:37] This is supposed to be a vampire. We're going to do is there's a... this is supposed to be a vampire.

[00:30:39] We are gonna kill this vampire and that will cause this vampire to spawn

[00:30:43] and drop some health, health is good for marathons

[00:30:47] Move it.

[00:30:57] We can even get that health again, I'll go ahead and do that.

[00:31:08] Okay, so I don't know how to describe this or why this happens.

[00:31:11] Normally there are these stalactites that fall on you

[00:31:15] but if you mimic my movement there they can fall as soon

[00:31:19] as you scroll the screen. We a mommy here sometimes he wants hugs

[00:31:22] sometimes he wants hugs we don't want hugs though we don't want to die

[00:31:29] yeah stay over there. Good.

[00:31:32] Oh wow! Okay this is great.

[00:31:34] Like I said, Burt

[00:31:36] when you get the pill

[00:31:38] your only Burt for a limited time

[00:31:40] so in a lot of areas you want to extend your Burt for a limited time. So in a lot of areas, you want to extend

[00:31:43] your Burt form and the only way to do that

[00:31:45] is by getting pills

[00:31:46] and question marks

[00:31:49] can be hearts or

[00:31:51] pills or like nothing, or points

[00:31:53] so there's a bit of gamble there

[00:31:55] with getting the question mark and hoping

[00:31:57] that you get

[00:31:59] a pill. It actually saves 6

[00:32:01] seconds from transforming back into mark and then

[00:32:04] back in the bird as well so this is pretty good rnd so far

[00:32:11] that was a good fight.

[00:32:15] More health, and that's round three!

[00:32:27] Alright heading into round four.

[00:32:29] This is like an Egyptian-themed round for some reason.

[00:32:34] We're going to kill this snake, not get the health,

[00:32:38] not kill the snake, and then normally there'd be a scorpion that would spawn right here. And we just made him despawned And you can see that transformation phase

[00:32:51] waste time. We want to avoid

[00:32:53] that when we can. Cool, we got

[00:32:55] that hit. I'll take the health.

[00:32:59] This is actually probably one of the more quote unquote technical kills in the game i am a slowpoke here we go

[00:33:14] that's the idea you want to follow him and uh

[00:33:18] jut down with your bat

[00:33:24] might i bother you for a quick donation absolutely

[00:33:27] here's 500 oh let's go from the julie cat who's really cats

[00:33:36] cats cats mass hysteria!

[00:33:40] Good luck TRR.

[00:33:41] Thanks so much Julie.

[00:33:43] And I think I speak for all the first nights of the Retro Shredders when I say sorry,

[00:33:49] I'm dead. Yes Julie

[00:33:51] thank you so much. Thank you for the

[00:33:53] generous donation

[00:33:54] Okay that's a pretty

[00:33:57] tough hit to get

[00:33:58] just a little bit more insurance with health. We're going to

[00:34:01] kill the snake, not get the health or whatever item they drop. I've never played

[00:34:05] this game before. Which despawns the scorpion that's normally there

[00:34:09] Kill the snake. we're looking for a pill here

[00:34:14] transforming into Bert some health another amazing boss coming up he's gonna he's gonna try to out

[00:34:27] shred us you can't though he can't you cannot

[00:34:30] read me don't even try!

[00:34:32] Try as you might...

[00:34:35] ...you'll never try. Okay, great.

[00:34:41] Some more health for insurance and we'll actually pick up a pill here to stay in burnt form. And that's round four.

[00:35:08] Making our way...

[00:35:12] Okay, I'll try this.

[00:35:14] I probably won't get it because it's frame perfect but if you enter a door on the same

[00:35:18] frame that you would transform...

[00:35:20] Yeah look at these sharks with the oversized fins like...

[00:35:24] Love this game! We're gonna try to train uh circumvent the uh

[00:35:31] the transformation phase here

[00:35:34] i didn't get it oh i did I did get it! It's frame perfect.

[00:35:40] These zombies beckon you to watch them dance.

[00:35:43] You can't hit them at all or they will start all over so...

[00:35:46] Nothing left to do but the worm let's

[00:35:49] get some donations going oh I have a perfect donation for while they're

[00:35:53] dancing here is $50 from not Bobby Boris Pickett, who says

[00:35:58] I was watching GDQ late one night

[00:36:01] when my eyes beheld a silly sight

[00:36:04] for Monster Party from its cartridge began to rise

[00:36:08] and suddenly

[00:36:09] he did the smash! He did the monster smash

[00:36:13] The Monster Smash! He beat up plants with a bat

[00:36:17] He walked off ledges to dash,

[00:36:20] he did the smash.

[00:36:21] He did the monster smash!

[00:36:23] Amazing.

[00:36:32] Should have gotten that person on my account.

[00:36:34] They're more clever than I am.

[00:36:39] We can continue some more donations if you got them.

[00:36:40] Oh, you know I do!

[00:36:41] We have $30 from Untoasted Toast who says

[00:36:44] Sorry...I'm bread.

[00:36:50] I love it.

[00:36:52] Also, $10 from Lemon Carrots

[00:36:54] who says, oh no!

[00:36:56] I love Monster Party.

[00:37:00] Do you have time for any more?

[00:37:04] Yeah, yeah. A couple more.

[00:37:05] Sure! Here's $10 from

[00:37:07] Shuma G who says

[00:37:08] I went to a dog show the other day

[00:37:11] A Yorkie took Best in Show,

[00:37:13] a Jack Russell took second

[00:37:15] and a Scotty took third.

[00:37:17] I'm starting to think

[00:37:18] that judges had some sort

[00:37:19] of all-terrier motive.

[00:37:22] It was very involved. I know! your motive.

[00:37:24] I was very involved!

[00:37:26] Alright, just real quick. Pants!

[00:37:28] That's all I gotta say. Pants!

[00:37:31] I agree.

[00:37:33] This is a sort of a level, which could be kind

[00:37:36] of confusing but actually the size

[00:37:39] of this level is not that large.

[00:37:42] I was able to figure it out as a kid so uh you know if you feel like wasting some time

[00:37:48] you probably could power through it or you can just follow the exact route that i'm taking here

[00:37:54] there's only one boss in this round,

[00:37:56] and here it is.

[00:37:58] Which one? It's always

[00:38:00] the bottom right one.

[00:38:02] Wow, we're getting some sick

[00:38:04] RNG right now.

[00:38:08] That's probably one of the best patterns you get from the boss okay so the next round is just like purely a vertical climb so uh doing that as mark

[00:38:19] is not only time consuming but pretty difficult

[00:38:23] we're going to get a pill to stay in vert form one more time with me pants And...

[00:38:39] That's round six!

[00:38:47] Okay, so Bert's flight speed is purely dependent on how fast you can match the A button.

[00:38:56] One of two bosses coming up. This is a quick kill we recently came up with.

[00:39:02] Yes, very good!

[00:39:06] Get that pill to stay in Burt form...

[00:39:10] Mesh of Ranch.

[00:39:16] It's a shame it's a really good track,

[00:39:18] but it starts over after every screen transition. It's really dumb.

[00:39:21] Do you have time for a couple quick donations? Yes! Yes I actually do.

[00:39:25] Because people are getting so creative. I have five dollars from the Michelin Man who says

[00:39:29] sorry, I'm Tread.

[00:39:32] We have $50

[00:39:34] from Level 500

[00:39:36] Boss who says, sorry

[00:39:38] I'm Squid.

[00:39:40] And $5

[00:39:41] from Fred who who says sorry i'm friend uh how did i know that was coming

[00:39:46] thank you everyone so much for introducing yourselves and apologizing.

[00:39:57] Alright, only two bosses in the stage. Pretty short one.

[00:40:01] Only one more stage to go. That was round seven.

[00:40:10] Alright, this is one of the more brutal RNG dependent bosses in the game.

[00:40:21] Okay, not bad, not bad. He can actually just like fly around and completely waste your time

[00:40:25] And you'll turn back into Mark

[00:40:27] And be all angry that you had to reset the game

[00:40:29] Questioning your decisions about being an adult

[00:40:31] Playing a 30 plus year old game

[00:40:33] That no one really knows about.

[00:40:40] It's pretty cool boss kill, you just run right up to him,

[00:40:43] you press down...

[00:40:45] That'll work like every time pretty much.

[00:40:53] So there are these firecrackers that fly at you, just fly towards the top of

[00:40:57] the screen. And when they get close

[00:40:59] fly to the absolute

[00:41:01] top of the screen. And for some

[00:41:03] reason they explode. It makes this

[00:41:05] really easy.

[00:41:11] Another really cool boss coming up look at the skating around on his severed head so cool looking yeah it's okay. You can clap. Don't be shy. You can clap.

[00:41:25] So we have the key. There is only one boss left.

[00:41:28] Uh...you can only damage

[00:41:29] this boss when he opens

[00:41:31] his nose flap

[00:41:33] and that can take

[00:41:35] about seven seconds or

[00:41:37] it can take well over half a minute so

[00:41:40] It's a complete R&D slot machine. We're just gonna have fun and see what we get here The nose knows. Come on, let's get a good one! Time!

[00:42:05] Just out of curiosity, oh wow that's a really good time.

[00:42:14] That's a really good time especially for a marathon.

[00:42:16] If you'll permit me just humor me let me narrate this ending

[00:42:20] because it is as humorous and bizarre

[00:42:22] as the rest of the game.

[00:42:23] Mark destroyed the monsters, Burt gave him a gift,

[00:42:26] Mark went home.

[00:42:29] He excitedly opened the box.

[00:42:30] What's in the box?

[00:42:31] What's in the box? What's in the box?!

[00:42:35] A beautiful princess came out!

[00:42:37] Or...

[00:42:41] This is like one of my favorite sprites on the NES. Look at this face melting!

[00:42:46] Look at it!

[00:42:48] Look at it!

[00:42:52] Huge fan of the super awkward dialogue.

[00:42:54] Mark was scared and screamed,

[00:43:00] It was all a dream! I used to read Word Up magazine.

[00:43:04] Mark was awakened by his mom...

[00:43:10] Then, Mark opened the door.

[00:43:13] Bert was there! he whispered to Mark

[00:43:16] Let's go again!

[00:43:20] Thank you so much for allowing me to showcase one of my favorite games on

[00:43:24] the NES.

[00:43:25] Real quick, let me just give some shout outs

[00:43:28] first and foremost to my awesome wife

[00:43:30] who supports every little thing that I do

[00:43:34] but also to the Monster Party community, not an enormous community as you might imagine.

[00:43:40] But some key folks in there, Joey Mittens, Burst Error Drixis and my own community,

[00:43:48] whom without I would not be able to

[00:43:50] be here.

[00:43:51] So let's keep it silly for the rest of the night

[00:43:54] and I'll see you on the flip.

[00:43:56] Keep on shredding games

[00:44:09] hello everybody welcome to birds aren't real the real life conspiracy that we're here to chat about. I am excited to show this little

[00:44:13] game off to everybody. Joining me today is Crack Silver who's hiding her identity

[00:44:17] Hello my name is Deep Chir chirp i am coming to you from

[00:44:21] an undisclosed location live for minneapolis you are being lied to and i'm bystander Tim.

[00:44:35] Alrighty, I'm gonna count us down if you wanna join me we're gonna do it in 3

[00:44:37] 2 1

[00:44:39] Go! So right as we get started uh i was given this conspiracy board about 20 minutes before the run

[00:44:47] started i have been assured that it is exclusively about the entirely true conspiracy

[00:44:52] that birds are not real.

[00:44:54] I will be indicating things throughout the run

[00:44:57] that are definitely about birds."

[00:45:01] I concur.

[00:45:04] So here we're just doing a little tutorial to get through and

[00:45:06] get our gear back together, we are a little beat up right now.

[00:45:16] And so as we do, we can fly. We have a propeller

[00:45:26] And we need to place some tracking chips on people So let's... Alright, now that the chip is properly implanted on that theorist

[00:45:30] we are going to

[00:45:33] take a picture, identify them.

[00:45:35] At Surveillance Shrooms this is what we do.

[00:45:37] The government maintains a database of everyone who has ever suspected the truth about birds.

[00:45:43] They keep a list here as you can see

[00:45:50] is that velocity on there

[00:45:54] i can't see out of this mask, so I'm assuming yes.

[00:46:00] Alright, so what we're doing here is just popping some balloons, taking down some streamers

[00:46:04] Just you know, doing fun things

[00:46:10] The true enemy of big nature paper products so true

[00:46:17] and you'll enjoy this smooth jazz for the entirety of this run

[00:46:34] big nature has only afford for this one music track.

[00:46:39] That's not where I pointed. Alright, so now we're just going to be dealing with the most RNG segment of this run which is just

[00:46:45] dropping some stuff on the heads of pedestrians. We need to stun them all with

[00:46:49] different items.

[00:46:55] You will notice that the bird

[00:46:57] drone is picking up various forms of soda products for this segment.

[00:47:02] Shout-outs to everyone who has been mainlining caffeine in order to see Silly Block.

[00:47:07] You all are so real.

[00:47:15] And by drinking way too much caffeine, you're able to see the truth as we're seeing here now.

[00:47:24] Is that just a sugar-free red bull label

[00:47:30] oh that one didn't work

[00:47:36] it's okay fortunately birds are very inefficient spies

[00:47:45] well the most important part about uh espionage is actively hitting people with objects.

[00:47:53] As you can see, the people are too angry to see that there's a bird in front of them there we go and so now we're going to

[00:48:00] grab the spray can here and we are going to do some defacing of some signs.

[00:48:06] Because as everyone knows, in the real world there are many large billboards

[00:48:11] in major cities talking about how birds are fake.

[00:48:17] This has the best prompt of hold X to vandalize

[00:48:27] While we're vandalizing, do you have time for some quick donations? Oh, we sure do. Go for it!

[00:48:29] I've got $25 dollars from Definitely A Bird.

[00:48:31] They say beep boop.

[00:48:36] That's real bird talk right there. Yeah yeah I believe them.

[00:48:40] Do you have time for one more? Of course! Here is $5 from Staten herself

[00:48:44] who says, Allison is absolutely flying

[00:48:47] through this game. She's clearly at the top

[00:48:49] of the pecking order.

[00:48:50] She's clearly the nest

[00:48:52] at this game. Whether she is a bird or not

[00:48:55] however is debated. Even more love from the back couch.

[00:49:02] But how can there be an avian hierarchy if birds aren't real?

[00:49:06] Thoughts?

[00:49:09] Thoughts? hierarchy of birds aren't real thoughts thoughts

[00:49:12] so now we're taking down some posters we're just doing lots of flying around lots of little tasks which will be used again later

[00:49:17] allison can you perhaps explain why we're all wearing tinfoil hats right

[00:49:21] now well they can't know the truth of

[00:49:24] course if they see our brains they might know or we're still sponsored by the concept of jazz

[00:49:35] that sponsorship deal was in perpetuity, right?

[00:49:40] How else do we have the platform?

[00:49:45] Alright so here we're doing pretty much the only glitch on the run.

[00:49:47] We're getting them to actually attack us and we can hit the same person twice to use their tablet.

[00:49:53] Because we need to spy on them via their tablets of course!

[00:49:57] You will also notice this mirrors real life because birds are drones and therefore they cannot be killed by what I'm assuming are snowballs? Or are people throwing their hands at the birds?

[00:50:09] You know, I don't know.

[00:50:11] I'm guessing the rocks.

[00:50:14] I mean, I was going to say something like real truthers leave their phone unlocked but throwing hands works too.

[00:50:25] Alright so this is the final thing before the finale segment

[00:50:28] we're going to poop on conspiracy theorists and register them because

[00:50:31] Take a good look you at home you might be next

[00:50:37] i am sure if i was not on a list before this run i am definitely on one now

[00:50:43] once again quacks over everybody hiding her idea definitely on one now. Once again, Quacks

[00:50:44] over everybody hiding her identity.

[00:50:50] Yeah, this game is a really small game made by

[00:50:52] a small team.

[00:50:55] And it was a student project.

[00:50:59] Do you have time for one more quick donation?

[00:51:01] We sure do!

[00:51:03] Here's $5 from TFT, who says,

[00:51:04] Hey Allie and Couch. Can you let me know if there are any other animals that aren't real

[00:51:09] other than birds I should be on the lookout for? Good luck on the run!

[00:51:13] Watch out for honey badgers oh

[00:51:18] i personally am suspicious of horses they're real

[00:51:21] i'm just suspicious All right, so now we're just causing ultimate chaos.

[00:51:31] We're just doing all the things

[00:51:32] we've done already

[00:51:32] to everybody

[00:51:35] just to ruin this mayor because they're the ones who are against us

[00:51:39] i guess there was plot or something wasn't there yeah the actual plot of

[00:51:43] this game is that it's not just the fight against big nature,

[00:51:47] is that there's this specific mayor who

[00:51:49] was leading a conspiracy campaign.

[00:51:52] And that's Birds Aren't Real.

[00:52:09] I'm glad to have informed you all about the truth.

[00:52:12] Tell your friends!

[00:52:14] We have nothing left to teach you.

[00:52:16] Aside from that, I stream all kinds of variety of video games.

[00:52:20] Do speedruns and stuff over on my Twitch.

[00:52:22] And then... do you have any shoutouts?

[00:52:25] Thanks so much to the Alan Wake crew for letting us use their conspiracy stuff

[00:52:30] for another conspiracy.

[00:52:36] I guess shoutouts to the rest of Silly Block,

[00:52:39] you'll see me in a couple hours doing

[00:52:41] city bus driver simulator but keep watching keep supporting the marathon

[00:52:49] and that will be all from us. Thank you. very serious

[00:53:02] very serious spin-off of a

[00:53:07] very

[00:53:07] if you haven't heard of it

[00:53:10] Wand of Gamelon

[00:53:11] I'm the animation

[00:53:13] we've been playing Arzett Julefermo on

[00:53:15] casual difficulty which is going to make

[00:53:17] the enemies easier. It's going to give us heart drops.

[00:53:19] It's going to make the run go much faster.

[00:53:21] On my couch we have... Hi, I'm

[00:53:24] Brian Hall V. I was a Day 3 runner of this game.

[00:53:27] And I lost to 424.

[00:53:28] I'm also a runner of this game.

[00:53:29] We have...

[00:53:33] Yeah, so I'm not here...

[00:53:36] You're right here! What are you talking about?

[00:53:38] Well, virtually.

[00:53:41] Hi, I am Seth Fulkerson, I am better known as Dothli and

[00:53:44] I am the creator of this very game.

[00:53:52] Shout out to Dano for inviting me!

[00:53:53] Thank you!

[00:53:54] Really really excited to see the current world record holder

[00:53:59] as of two weeks ago yeah uh so we have a lot talked about but i think we're just going

[00:54:04] to get started because we start with with four minutes of cutscenes.

[00:54:07] Which you all unlocked! Thank you so much.

[00:54:11] Yes thank you so much that's amazing.

[00:54:15] And we'll start here when I hit go. Audience, can I get a countdown? In five...

[00:54:18] Four! Three! Two! One! Go!

[00:54:26] So like I said this is a spin-off of the CDI games.

[00:54:31] Sudaply... why?

[00:54:36] What makes you wake up in the morning and say,

[00:54:38] no we need more CD-i games? Not disagreeing.

[00:54:43] Yeah so uh...in the process of making the fan made

[00:54:46] Zelda CDI remasters,

[00:54:49] which this is a spiritual successor to. I learned

[00:54:51] the story behind those games' development.

[00:54:54] I saw a lot of unrealized potential

[00:54:56] in the concept as well as just

[00:54:57] kind of like early 90s CD-ROM games in general.

[00:55:01] Uh, but yeah making my own spin on Zelda CDI

[00:55:04] but good alongside my friends many of whom are

[00:55:07] professional artists seemed like a fun idea.

[00:55:11] And you know what?

[00:55:13] It was. I think that's probably the best answer for why, other than

[00:55:15] I might be a little crazy, so...

[00:55:18] RPL.

[00:55:20] So here in the actual cutscene

[00:55:21] we get a little introduction to all of the bosses

[00:55:23] lot of variety there, can you talk

[00:55:25] about where this

[00:55:27] variety came from? Cause we have

[00:55:29] horse and scarecrow, dragon...

[00:55:32] Cat lady.

[00:55:36] Yeah so um

[00:55:40] Let's see here Wow what can I say? Everybody...

[00:55:47] Yeah so I came up with most of the characters with input from others and i gave the character design sort of to like my character designers

[00:55:58] and let them have free reign to give them life personality yeah and they just sort of

[00:56:04] took my

[00:56:06] silly ideas

[00:56:08] like you know what if a cat

[00:56:10] lady was a cat burglar

[00:56:12] and sort of just made it, you know...

[00:56:14] Cat burglar! I just realized that. Oh, that's great.

[00:56:19] Right.

[00:56:21] Alright, we're gonna do an introduction to the game, what's going on,

[00:56:24] what our quest is gonna be.

[00:56:26] Here we got Arzett...

[00:56:29] ...and Dale. Those are all names I remember here.

[00:56:33] And then that other one in the

[00:56:35] background the king oh well what can we do tell us about uh

[00:56:40] tell us how you came up with names for these characters because some of them

[00:56:42] are pretty close to the uh other names that we know, I think.

[00:56:49] Really just names or something

[00:56:52] that I'm good at but also my wife is

[00:56:55] good at. She helped me name a lot of the characters in

[00:56:57] the game. I mean, yeah some

[00:56:59] of them are

[00:57:01] anagrams I guess

[00:57:03] but modified of character

[00:57:05] archetypes that are very familiar.

[00:57:08] But yeah, for the most part I just...

[00:57:12] Dale is a direct reference to the director

[00:57:16] of the original Zelda CD-i games, who unfortunately passed away several years ago.

[00:57:23] So a little bit of my tribute to him I guess you could say.

[00:57:27] Hi.

[00:57:28] Too late for that, unfortunately.

[00:57:30] We got a nice little bit of dialogue here you're gonna hear

[00:57:32] for like two seconds as we skip the tutorial.

[00:57:37] That haunts my dreams. that dialogue had a pretty interesting uh voice actor didn't it

[00:57:47] yeah that was yeah that was jeffrey rath original voice of Link from the Zelda CD-i games.

[00:57:53] I was able to get him, I was able to get Bonnie Jean Wilbur,

[00:57:58] the original voice of Zelda heard in the prologue uh they both play npcs

[00:58:02] in that game too yeah we don't see any of them so that's

[00:58:05] why that's one dialogue from those two that you're gonna get tonight

[00:58:08] unfortunately all right Unfortunately. Alright.

[00:58:14] So, we're just making our way through here. You can see pretty quickly the basic tech we have if you play this game.

[00:58:19] Whenever you swing your sword, Arzet is not going to want to move.

[00:58:22] So we're always gonna try and swing our sword while jumping.

[00:58:25] We made that jump good from the stead here.

[00:58:27] And a lot of RNG in this game with...

[00:58:30] Case in point!

[00:58:31] With heart drops. Ideally we are not at half a heart at this point

[00:58:36] So I'm going to try and get heart drops to keep our health up

[00:58:38] I'll be jumping as we do it

[00:58:41] Hippie! Can you us a donation real quick?

[00:58:44] Of course I can. Here's $25 from 3pup who says staying up way past my bedtime to watch the game that got me into speedrunning.

[00:58:55] Let's go, Dino! Sending love from the back couch!

[00:59:03] We took a little...door there. So you let the back door to this area, which lets us get some sword beam really early and actually skips a lot of backtracking later on.

[00:59:15] This gives us red magic, which

[00:59:18] will let us pass some things later

[00:59:21] And the sword beam is going to be very useful

[00:59:24] A very interesting thing about the sword beam is that you can hit things

[00:59:28] with the beam itself

[00:59:29] but the sword itself

[00:59:30] also has its own hitbox

[00:59:31] and when you're activating

[00:59:32] the sword beam

[00:59:33] and you hit something

[00:59:34] with the sword

[00:59:34] it'll do triple damage

[00:59:35] to pretty much anything

[00:59:36] so that's going to be integral to most boss strats especially ones where we

[00:59:38] don't have like spare bomb pickups yes uh that's called oh there's not an

[00:59:44] official name for what i call it sword critting

[00:59:46] uh that seems to be the unofficial name at this point

[00:59:49] um and we're gonna see that used uh next level we'll use it a few times yeah definitely

[00:59:55] yeah those health bars melt

[00:59:58] yep you don't even see the help bar they're just dead all right

[01:00:02] we got five to go or four to go yeah so sword critting was a mechanic

[01:00:07] that we sort of identified pretty early on as being a bug.

[01:00:11] But it felt so good to pull off that I just sort of left it in the game.

[01:00:15] I think I speak for all three of us by saying thank you.

[01:00:21] I doubt the rest will be THAT easy. I think I speak for all three of us, we're saying thank you. It's very difficult,

[01:00:22] but I think it is like frame perfect almost so...

[01:00:25] It IS pretty tough.

[01:00:27] Oh no! Color magic! What are we gonna do?

[01:00:35] We're just going to enjoy this for a bit.

[01:00:38] Where can we find magic that might be red?

[01:00:43] What's the crowd think about this?

[01:00:46] Please laugh.

[01:00:50] Arzeth's reactions are in eternal mood.

[01:00:53] Don't look so blue, princess!

[01:00:58] These are just emotions that are also colors.

[01:01:03] Casual instead of three.

[01:01:07] Alright, one beacon down

[01:01:11] four to go. Still have no jewel shards but we'll get to that eventually.

[01:01:14] Here's our first sword crit. There you go. That enemy normally has two health.

[01:01:20] We also have bomb drops so you mentioned that briefly, we have item bags

[01:01:25] that are going to come across during the run. Eight of them

[01:01:30] and we need three of them to be bomb drops otherwise

[01:01:35] you'll have to go buy bombs So every time we get a bomb drop which is not common I'd say it's probably around 1

[01:01:40] and 5, uh I want everyone in that audience to be freaking out and cheering and applauding, because

[01:01:47] I had a practice run earlier that got none.

[01:01:48] I also had a practice one that got four!

[01:01:51] So hopefully we'll get four. That'd be nice.

[01:01:53] Here's our first one. Let's see it.

[01:01:55] Nope. That'd be nice. So here's our first one. Let's see it!

[01:01:58] Nope, nope, not this time.

[01:01:59] You can use that to buy bombs.

[01:02:01] Use it to buy bombs, but it's not bombs itself.

[01:02:04] I think the most angering run I ever had was a dead run and I had 18 bombs

[01:02:07] going into Nodelgi.

[01:02:08] I was so mad.

[01:02:12] They must have gotten

[01:02:13] his five drops.

[01:02:15] The forces of evil underestimated your prowess. drops.

[01:02:25] Dale is just in eternal mood.

[01:02:34] He requests your presence Dale is just in eternal mood. That's not good.

[01:02:36] Oh no, I think he's dying's dying how long you think he has

[01:02:40] like a level like two and a half minutes Even if it were true, I can't lead a kingdom.

[01:02:49] You will lead this kingdom to its best days!

[01:02:52] Yes...

[01:02:53] I'm certain of it.

[01:02:55] I must return to my quest. Goodbye father.

[01:02:58] Awwww. Now we have our first hard bit of the run, uh, we're going into swamp and we're

[01:03:03] gonna do our first coyote jump where you have about a three frame window to make this jump

[01:03:06] off a leaf, uh, to make an early cycle.

[01:03:08] I'm gonna try to do a first try here.

[01:03:11] First try, let's go!

[01:03:13] Nice! Very nice!

[01:03:15] That's really tight.

[01:03:17] Also if you kind of just hold left through the rest

[01:03:19] of the screen, you pretty much make it really fast

[01:03:20] there he is yep there he is would you mind stepping aside regrettably if you go to

[01:03:27] exclamation point donate chat you can donate to get this wonderful prize too just fyi alas i won't accept

[01:03:34] commoner food i require fine dining perhaps situated under a porous rock You understand.

[01:03:45] Guess what, we already have it!

[01:03:49] We're just that good.

[01:03:56] Bon appetit So thankfully that is a smart sword It makes people talk

[01:03:56] Right

[01:03:59] Only if you're friendly though

[01:04:01] Mayor Looking at you That mosquito needs to You're friendly though. Oh yeah.

[01:04:04] Mayor, looking at you. That mosquito needs to chill back there.

[01:04:07] He's fine...

[01:04:09] I don't need health.

[01:04:10] You don't need health? What is health?

[01:04:15] So you obviously getting help to pick up some enemies

[01:04:17] helps make the speedrun a lot faster because you can kind of just

[01:04:21] Yeah, you can kinda stroll through the screen and

[01:04:23] tank stuff and be lucky later.

[01:04:26] What makes this speedrun so challenging

[01:04:27] is there are additional health

[01:04:29] containers you can pick up throughout the run.

[01:04:31] We don't.

[01:04:32] We have free health the entire run.

[01:04:35] There's a lot of stuff we don't pick up that will be really helpful.

[01:04:39] And there are enemies that do two hearts of damage, so it gets very dicey later on.

[01:04:47] Alright as we stroll through small pit

[01:04:49] there's not too much to talk about. Can we get some...

[01:04:51] Oh! A little lag there

[01:04:53] Hippy can we have a donation or two?

[01:04:55] Of course! We've got five dollars

[01:04:57] here from Morshu who says

[01:04:59] lamp oil, rope, bombs

[01:05:01] you want it? It's

[01:05:03] yours my friend as long

[01:05:05] as you have enough rupees wait what do you mean wrong game who's that maybe

[01:05:12] i'll have to donate more when i'm a bit richer thank you very much.

[01:05:19] Alright, we got another little back door here

[01:05:21] to drop us into this room

[01:05:23] give us the Pegasus boots

[01:05:25] which will get us a double top... Griffin Boots! Not Pegasus

[01:05:27] Boots. I like how I knew when I first played boots. I like how I knew...

[01:05:28] When I first played this,

[01:05:29] I liked how I knew that door was down there

[01:05:30] but I didn't realize you can go in the other way.

[01:05:33] I know the names of things.

[01:05:35] It's fine.

[01:05:37] I didn't realize it was the red magic back

[01:05:38] until I completed the game and I was very

[01:05:40] nervous. Same! So another interesting property that bombs have is you can

[01:05:44] actually hit them with your sword wave, they will explode on command. You also

[01:05:48] can trick shot them if you

[01:05:51] let go of the wave while the bomb is in the air

[01:05:55] We're going to do a lot of sword bombing

[01:05:59] Chat, can we get some bible thumps?

[01:06:01] Bible thumbs in chat please

[01:06:05] just sads. This is just the sad cutscene

[01:06:09] and Dale's here too. Actually, the trick shot you mentioned in the desert when

[01:06:14] you were in the darkness and you threw the bomb

[01:06:16] and hit the wave, that is a lot trickier than it looks.

[01:06:20] The bomb timing is tight but it actually lands on a ledge

[01:06:23] But if you jump too late

[01:06:25] You'll land on the ledge and if you do it too soon

[01:06:27] The bomb won't

[01:06:29] It's called a very common reset

[01:06:33] Awwww a very common reset fail

[01:06:44] i'm glad you're here I love you too, father. I wasn't expecting this to happen. It's called tragic relief, okay?

[01:06:48] I'm sorry.

[01:06:52] I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I wasn't expecting this.

[01:06:54] It's called tragic relief, okay?

[01:07:00] Spoilers! Sorry.

[01:07:03] I will do more than defeat Dimer's evil.

[01:07:06] I'll end it for good.

[01:07:07] Now we're ready.

[01:07:08] Yep.

[01:07:09] Let's go jump in a volcano.

[01:07:14] That NPC right there is my favorite by far.

[01:07:18] Volcano's a really fun level, it has lots of nice platforming and timed sword beams.

[01:07:24] If I can actually get the thing. Yeah, that pig was a little trolly there

[01:07:31] And we're just gonna delve to the bottom for quests unknown

[01:07:36] Can be got quick donation as I

[01:07:37] fail to platform here? Of course

[01:07:39] we can! We have $10

[01:07:41] from LovesHorsesGirl

[01:07:43] who says, it's been

[01:07:45] so awesome seeing this run come together these past few months. Good luck and have fun! Now time for some vampire pancakes!

[01:07:54] No not this one unfortunately. We will talk about Denny later.

[01:08:00] This is Celeste.

[01:08:03] Welcome to PlayingCeleste.

[01:08:05] You want to talk about level

[01:08:07] design a little bit?

[01:08:09] This isn't bright. We just got out of a volcano and now we're climbing the mountain

[01:08:13] Level design in this game was not done in a way I would consider sane

[01:08:20] I designed it not done in a way i would consider sane um i just i designed every level on graph paper first

[01:08:23] uh i'd pick a shape that i like go draft paper

[01:08:27] yep tried to tie into the level theme. I grayboxed it.

[01:08:30] John Lenneman, known for his work on Digital Foundry.

[01:08:33] He helped me.

[01:08:35] He's my friend.

[01:08:36] He worked on the game as a designer as well.

[01:08:38] We both decided we liked the level well enough, I would make a sketch based on

[01:08:43] like the level collision and then I would pass that sketch onto a painter to

[01:08:48] make it into a beautiful painting but yeah it's pretty hard to make it into a beautiful painting, but yeah. It's pretty hard to

[01:08:52] make something naturalistic

[01:08:54] in like a painting, but also like a level?

[01:08:56] So yeah. That's

[01:08:58] sort of how I was done.

[01:09:00] Alright time to count blushes

[01:09:16] oh yeah i tend to count blushes in the next two scenes why should i my lord if you wish to scour curse places for jewels you better come well prepared

[01:09:21] I can give you protection against evil energy.

[01:09:25] Oh no, the Evil Energy will die!

[01:09:32] What a crazy random happenstance. We found

[01:09:35] that jewel in that volcano.

[01:09:36] Three!

[01:09:40] Hi.

[01:09:48] So, that's an item that we need to enter one level later. Actually it's two levels, isn't it? One in this run. No bombs. Now I'm coming across apparently what was a hard boss in playtesting?

[01:09:58] Oh yeah, it was uh

[01:10:00] big difficulty spike. It was supposed to be

[01:10:02] checkpoint

[01:10:04] kind of prompt the player to get more items.

[01:10:09] She's basically just way faster with more unpredictable patterns

[01:10:10] but yeah, nobody

[01:10:12] likes that in Playtesting.

[01:10:14] So yeah, let's see how fast can you do this fight oh there we go

[01:10:24] and I got our first Dorito.

[01:10:33] Unfortunately, we did not get bombs in the first two drops so you do have to go buy some which is fine.

[01:10:37] While your shopping, do you have time for a celebratory donation? Of course. We've got $100 from the

[01:10:40] Zeldathon team! And they would like to say Y Yippee!

[01:10:53] Alright. We got more Coyote jumps in this level There's one there I missed

[01:10:55] Yeah ours can't swim

[01:11:00] This is the hardest level for tight jump timing.

[01:11:03] We have four coyote jumps we have to do in total.

[01:11:06] First two aren't that bad but the reset time is really long.

[01:11:11] There we go, made the first 2. Now I have

[01:11:15] the hard ones. We have about a 3 frame window total

[01:11:19] on a moving platform.

[01:11:21] I want to try to do it first time here, let's see if it goes well.

[01:11:25] The pink candles are the... Let's go!

[01:11:27] Nice!

[01:11:32] Oh yeah, also collecting candles. You saw us

[01:11:34] do a barrier earlier. We need about

[01:11:36] 12 candles total I believe.

[01:11:39] Do you have something for me?

[01:11:41] So we're going to come through here and grab blue magic that's going to let us do other things on this submarine.

[01:11:49] Does that make sense?

[01:11:50] Close enough, yeah.

[01:11:53] I grabbed it right? oh there it is

[01:11:57] let's go!

[01:12:06] like i'm saying nice to my own RNG it's like good job

[01:12:08] pat on the back

[01:12:09] is it 1 in 5?

[01:12:11] I did a trial

[01:12:12] I got like 22 out of 100

[01:12:13] figure it's somewhere around there no, it's weighted I did a trial, I got like 22 out of 100.

[01:12:14] Figure it's somewhere around there.

[01:12:15] No, it's weighted towards what you have and don't have.

[01:12:19] Especially on casual mode,

[01:12:21] It's more weighted toward other things but you're close.

[01:12:24] Hey chat who does this look like?

[01:12:29] This is kind of like Barney the Dinosaur.

[01:12:32] Well trying to stay on brand I thought it looked like Velocity.

[01:12:37] Yeah!

[01:12:39] It unironically looks a lot like one of the enemies in Zoombinis.

[01:12:45] I need you to know that.

[01:12:48] Which you will see

[01:12:49] later on.

[01:12:50] You will! There's also incentive open for that,

[01:12:52] you should do it.

[01:12:54] Help us fight the incentive.

[01:12:56] I first saw that character sprite, I thought it was midnuff Help us right now in Sanjani.

[01:12:59] I first saw that character sprite, and thought it was Midna for a second. I don't know how that happened.

[01:13:00] It's the helmet!

[01:13:03] The orange hair.

[01:13:06] Alright, three beacons down.

[01:13:08] Making progress.

[01:13:12] This cutscene is pretty good. Yeah it is.

[01:13:16] Is this one with the loot? Yeah. Okay, yeah.

[01:13:19] This one is music!

[01:13:29] Check it out! Dimer's forces are critically Jack, can we get some dancing

[01:13:31] notes for this wonderful dude?

[01:13:33] Too slow.

[01:13:37] ... noise reminds me.

[01:13:39] Some instruments in this world are magical,

[01:13:42] laying them in the right place...

[01:13:44] What if they tell us all this stuff like

[01:13:45] right after we already got it?

[01:13:46] Right?

[01:13:47] By the way, it's this instrument

[01:13:48] if you couldn't figure that out.

[01:13:50] Is that what you're trying to do to us? By the way, it's this instrument if you couldn't figure it out. You would be surprised.

[01:13:57] Oh no!

[01:13:59] Oh no!

[01:14:01] Almost a continuation of that cutscene right there.

[01:14:04] Good thing we left it's fine.

[01:14:06] Ah this level...

[01:14:07] My control key is being mirrored, it's fine.

[01:14:18] It's fine!

[01:14:20] Blame the controller.

[01:14:24] Control key stopped working. It's working now. Do we skip that candle now, I guess?

[01:14:26] Yep.

[01:14:27] I haven't run this in a while.

[01:14:29] Do you have a moment for a few donations?

[01:14:32] Of course.

[01:14:33] Because I've got $10 for you from

[01:14:34] Horrifically Melting Wizard

[01:14:36] who says,

[01:14:37] You killed me!

[01:14:41] Good.

[01:14:44] Savage. Good. Savage! Do you have time for one more?

[01:14:48] Uh, once this finishes we're gonna go back. Sure thing.

[01:14:52] This room we have to try to get through as quick

[01:14:53] as we can

[01:14:54] to try to make a cycle

[01:14:55] which probably aren't going

[01:14:57] to do because I just

[01:14:57] stopped for a second.

[01:14:59] This is probably

[01:15:00] one of the hardest...

[01:15:01] Yeah.

[01:15:01] Fine, we have bombs.

[01:15:04] Probably one of the tightest cycles that you'll have to deal with in this game.

[01:15:11] There it is!

[01:15:12] Ah, I got hit but it's fine.

[01:15:14] We'll make it. Alright go for it. There it is. We got hit, but it's fine.

[01:15:15] I'll make it.

[01:15:16] All right, go.

[01:15:17] Go for it.

[01:15:21] Got $25 for you from Snorp who says,

[01:15:23] Hi Seth, I remember years ago you told me one of your dreams

[01:15:24] was to make a game and see it being run on gdq look at you go

[01:15:28] you did it i'm so proud of you and i'm excited to see where your dreams take you next

[01:15:33] i'll be with you every step of the way. Love, your wife and the puppies.

[01:15:37] Less than three!

[01:15:41] I love you.

[01:15:45] D'Arsh.

[01:15:49] Alright, here we got Beeves, a not-trivial boss but not the worst.

[01:15:55] Definitely my favorite boss design of the group oh yeah

[01:16:00] yeah my uh daniel did all the enemy and boss designs and he just killed it why don't killed him

[01:16:12] let's see what i got in first job boy don't know is working on this um dopply it the fort has some great uh attack randomness with some of its

[01:16:17] npcs if you want to talk about how you've designed or planned

[01:16:22] them attacks especially those fireball enemies yeah and why do they keep running and all of a

[01:16:26] sudden though they never attacked it before and it's just oh, you're dead now. They know.

[01:16:30] So I don't

[01:16:32] use a global timer. Each enemy

[01:16:35] actually does have its own timer that I tweaked

[01:16:37] on a per room, per

[01:16:38] encounter. Per rooms? Wow!

[01:16:41] Yeah there's a lot of randomness

[01:16:43] regarding certain attacks

[01:16:45] but since it's not global

[01:16:47] it makes it harder to

[01:16:49] predict as you just uh let me know yeah

[01:16:56] boss patterns though those those do use randomness

[01:17:00] next boss is gonna be fun.

[01:17:04] No such thing as too fast.

[01:17:07] We're speedrunners, so it's fastest fun.

[01:17:10] This whole run is about getting those boots pretty much as soon as possible, because now we are much faster.

[01:17:14] Use that to get through this level pretty quick.

[01:17:19] I feel like this level out of all just feels the smoothest when everything goes according to plan.

[01:17:26] But nothing ever goes according to plan?

[01:17:27] Nope!

[01:17:28] Especially this silo here where it's like hey,

[01:17:30] I need this one enemy to drop a heart otherwise

[01:17:32] I need to change cycle plans to not drop a heart otherwise i need to change cycle plans did not drop a

[01:17:35] heart yeah this room is brutal like

[01:17:37] deceptively so yeah we needed to damage boost through

[01:17:41] that guy or each eye frame through them but we

[01:17:43] did not so made it a little bit of backup here...

[01:17:47] It's fine.

[01:17:49] What is death?

[01:17:51] It's just our Zed it's fine.

[01:17:53] Just our Zed she'll be fine. that's what we wanted to do you have

[01:17:57] just enough iframes to get through there

[01:18:02] but you need the heart from that one cycle

[01:18:05] all right as we finish up, can we get another donation?

[01:18:08] Sure thing!

[01:18:10] Bombs!

[01:18:15] Here's $50 from Lightmop, who says... you a deal here's my first ever gdq donation for the game that has rekindled the kiln in my heart

[01:18:34] uh unfortunately we will not be seeing that particular cutscene there's

[01:18:37] exactly one cut scene in the game you can't

[01:18:39] skip.

[01:18:41] Oh, that cutscene. It's a great

[01:18:43] cutscene! It's fantastic! You're

[01:18:44] rekindling the kiln! It's when you know

[01:18:47] Dobbly knew exactly what he was doing with that cutscene yeah my uh

[01:18:53] my good friend and producer audie he had been wanting to put

[01:18:57] a moose man in a game for a long time and he got his wish

[01:19:02] very happy for him and everybody else that got the experience out

[01:19:07] in the book of ocarin. So we're just repeating

[01:19:10] the past? Not exactly.

[01:19:13] Hi, you won't be there

[01:19:14] this time. Thanks Dale. I guess I better

[01:19:16] get going. Look,

[01:19:18] the kingdom is counting on you.

[01:19:20] Yeah! What he said!

[01:19:23] Hey!

[01:19:24] Librarians, look away.

[01:19:26] Throw the book at him, Arty!

[01:19:28] It's me when given a book.

[01:19:31] Too long didn't read it. Bye!

[01:19:36] So now we have...

[01:19:39] Count Denny's castle.

[01:19:41] I wanna explain Denny a little bit

[01:19:43] she's yes that denny anyone you want me to explain it

[01:19:50] anyone can explain katdeni if they want i feel like it's

[01:19:53] self-explanatory he is a vampire he's a vampire

[01:19:57] okay sure who loves eating breakfast just love this breakfast

[01:20:01] slam dunk of a breakfast you thought celeste was the

[01:20:04] only place to go into denny's this marathon

[01:20:08] we're going to slice they're going to denny's

[01:20:11] now after climbing around gotta eat some eggs, pancakes

[01:20:15] yeah Denny's a character I came

[01:20:19] up with alongside my wife many years ago we were sleep deprived

[01:20:23] half delirious kind of like right now uh when

[01:20:27] we started we just started talking about a silly vampire i love making breakfast

[01:20:30] so you know i was making a game i was like well that character is going to be

[01:20:34] in there all right we now have unarguably the hardest boss

[01:20:39] in the game casually it's trivial because you have a shield that just deflects attacks back

[01:20:44] we don't have that we have three hearts we can take

[01:20:47] two hits before we die. You do have a lot of bombs

[01:20:49] I have a lot of bombs, but I'm not good at

[01:20:51] the four bomb strats. I have my two bomb strats

[01:20:53] that I use

[01:20:53] If you get three bomb drops, you have two bombs to use here.

[01:20:57] And then of course

[01:20:58] the cycles are different on your first attempt

[01:21:00] than if you die and keep trying.

[01:21:02] So we're gonna try to beat him in one attempt here.

[01:21:06] Yeah, Nodelke just does what

[01:21:08] Nodelke wants to do

[01:21:14] Nice!

[01:21:21] That is a lot more challenging than the animated one. It's very hard, it's a very hard boss.

[01:21:26] Definitely one of those hard... like when you're learning the speedrun this is one

[01:21:29] of those ones where you take some time.

[01:21:33] That's a fate worse than 10 years of scrubbing floors.

[01:21:37] Not related to this level at all. Does anyone have a favorite character?

[01:21:42] Yeah... Volcano Man. For sure.

[01:21:47] His name is Joe by the way.

[01:21:49] I love Joe. I know Joe from early documents.

[01:21:51] I'm a fan of the guy with the calendar.

[01:21:57] Torque? Yeah he's great.

[01:22:03] We're back in forest because we didn't beat the boss here yet Because it's much faster to actually come back later and run through it this quick with the speed boots and double jump uh anyone like horses no anyone like puns Very serious game here.

[01:22:34] Yeah, it is actually pretty easy.

[01:22:41] There's Clive.

[01:22:44] Intended to be the first boss.

[01:22:52] We get our fourth Dorito.

[01:22:57] One boss left and it's going to be the wonderful Kormrad.

[01:23:01] The only time I've ever seen a Scarecrow in another Zelda game is actually...

[01:23:05] This is clearly your inspiration, I know it. Kakashi from Ripe and Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love

[01:23:12] the Wizard of Oz tingle game has a scare pro named kakashi who is awesome i guess that was

[01:23:20] clearly inspiration for corn man do you have just a moment for a quick update? Of course.

[01:23:26] We have now met the Watch All Cutscenes Wild Libby-an Senses!

[01:23:32] Yeah, wild libby.

[01:23:35] Great job! We love to see that we do have four bombs you can actually one cycle uh corn

[01:23:45] but as far as inspiration goes i mean I don't know what to tell you.

[01:23:48] I think talking scarecrows are really funny.

[01:23:54] He's stuck here. No legs.

[01:24:02] How did he get there? he's stuck here no legs i think most of the bosses in this game could teleport

[01:24:05] i think so yeah that was indeed a theme

[01:24:08] nice I think so, yeah. That was indeed a theme.

[01:24:11] Nice! I just pressed the bomb button four times.

[01:24:18] Alright, last burrito we did it we can form the mega dorito now

[01:24:27] otherwise known as the jewelel of Faramor.

[01:24:31] I'm here to restore the jewel of faramar.

[01:24:33] We don't even form it, we don't even form from five, we form it from one.

[01:24:35] Can this be done?

[01:24:37] Heh! I don't even need the whole jewel!

[01:24:40] May I?

[01:24:44] Yeah, so the big turning point at the end is instead of imprisoning him in the book we put the jewel on our sword to just kill him instead.

[01:24:56] So with that, we're going to head towards

[01:24:57] the final boss and the final rebel.

[01:25:01] And it's some purple magic.

[01:25:06] Probably one of the most amusing cutscenes that we will see.

[01:25:10] Good ol' Sazzy.

[01:25:14] Oops, I accidentally did a cutscene oh no oh no we get to meet this character I'm a big fan! You can't be dumb princess is trying to stop him.

[01:25:26] Have you seen her around?

[01:25:28] I want words!

[01:25:31] Actually, thank god.

[01:25:33] Got anything to drink? I'm crud. You got anything to drink?

[01:25:35] I have some water.

[01:25:39] Uh... you're killing me here. Literally.

[01:25:43] Chris Boyle! That's actually a friend of mine I made this really terrible crude placeholder sprite for her, right?

[01:25:51] With a shirt and blue jeans.

[01:25:53] And then my character designer saw that said yeah I want to illustrate

[01:25:57] that exactly like that.

[01:25:59] Yeah, she's one of my favorite designs.

[01:26:01] She's very good.

[01:26:03] All right we got one more donation because they're coming up on the end

[01:26:05] of the game here.

[01:26:07] Sure thing and here's five dollars from Count Denny who says this game seems like a grand slam.

[01:26:16] Denny's jokes.

[01:26:17] Danny's jokes.

[01:26:19] It's slam dunk, actually.

[01:26:22] Here he is.

[01:26:23] Budget Ganon.

[01:26:26] I've always wondered,

[01:26:28] why did you embrace the darkness?

[01:26:31] Why choose this?

[01:26:32] Why not? Power

[01:26:34] is all that matters.

[01:28:49] introduce yourselves. Oh by the way

[01:28:50] my name is Conception and I am just con

[01:28:52] my job is video game.

[01:28:54] I'm Swoose also known as Swoose for the next 60

[01:28:57] minutes as well. My job is Google

[01:28:59] Maps. Hi, I'm Princess

[01:29:01] Ashfire and I'm

[01:29:03] Bisexual Barbie.

[01:29:06] And I'm Sharif and my job is High Barbie.

[01:29:08] And I'm Sharif, and my job is hi, silly block.

[01:29:11] Hi, silly block.

[01:29:12] Alright, we're going to be

[01:29:14] jumping into some Barbie here on the

[01:29:16] screen you can see Existential Crisis Barbie

[01:29:19] just a quick reset so we could see something that's

[01:29:21] a little bit horrifying before

[01:29:23] we get started, which is

[01:29:25] Here we go

[01:29:27] 3, 2, 1

[01:29:28] Yeah! Scary Barbie Here we go. Three, two...

[01:29:29] Yeah! Scary Barbie.

[01:29:31] So let's get that off your screen as fast as possible and get started in three,

[01:29:36] Two, one... Go!

[01:29:42] We got it. It's fine.

[01:29:44] This is a very serious speedrun.

[01:29:48] So, Barbie. Sharif you have some experience with Barbie, why don't you kick us off here?

[01:29:52] Yeah sure, this game is a platformer and she's in a mall

[01:29:58] So basically she is dreaming, she's sleeping before a very big date with Ken tomorrow

[01:30:04] and she was reading her book

[01:30:06] And this is what she dreams about

[01:30:08] which is like getting absolutely bodied at a mall

[01:30:11] Yeah of course Me too which is like getting absolutely bodied at a mall.

[01:30:19] So, yeah in terms of the mechanics of the game you kind of just saw all of it

[01:30:25] but basically Barbie can't really interact with anything um anything in her she's in a dream so she can't really interact with anything everything's incorporeal

[01:30:28] except that she takes damage um so she uses these uh these charm bracelets on the bottom left

[01:30:33] to

[01:30:34] interact with things. Ooh, they're bracelets? I did not

[01:30:37] kick my... Yeah, it's like charm

[01:30:39] bracelets, right? The little diamonds.

[01:30:41] And so the one that we're using right now is that left-right

[01:30:44] one and that makes things go left

[01:30:46] and right. First boss don't

[01:30:48] clap! Woo!

[01:30:50] We defeated the beach balls

[01:30:52] by feeding the kitty cat some diamonds.

[01:30:55] Naturally, there's a tiny shoe here

[01:30:57] that one does do damage. Be careful

[01:30:59] Just missed! Yeah so the question mark

[01:31:01] block does just like various things

[01:31:03] we'll see later in the game and the x block stops things but

[01:31:06] we're gonna speed around so we don't ever stop so that's basically the tldr terrifying enemies

[01:31:10] the floating blouses they're so scary oh boy this though... This boss is actually annoying.

[01:31:17] That's not what I wanted to hit first but that's okay.

[01:31:19] Let's see if we can...

[01:31:21] There you go.

[01:31:22] There's like a task quick kill that does kill that first so that's fine.

[01:31:25] Yeah, I'm doing cast rats for

[01:31:26] sure close enough also fun fact there is a task please hit that club there we go there we go

[01:31:40] um i feel like this is just barbie having like an anxiety nightmare

[01:31:44] before a stress nightmare yeah for her first first date i don't know if it's

[01:31:48] our first date with ken but she's a special day today she was just like me for real

[01:31:54] so relatable so you guys saw umception, he pressed down on top of a fountain and then warped through half the stage.

[01:32:05] Yeah that was pretty cool right?

[01:32:07] Secret room!

[01:32:08] We didn't know about that for years and somebody found it by i don't

[01:32:10] know if anybody knew about this they just found it right now yeah

[01:32:14] yeah you're the first person to play this game

[01:32:17] right mm-hmm yeah i like the chocolate little purple

[01:32:20] chocolate walls yeah they look like straight up pershi bars

[01:32:23] yeah vertical bricks you know

[01:32:27] i can't judge 80s architecture. Like, go off!

[01:32:31] Though I've always been saying the worst

[01:32:33] part about fountains and malls is the fish that

[01:32:35] keep flying out trying to hit you in the face.

[01:32:37] It hurts! Really painful when they

[01:32:39] really smack you.

[01:32:40] High velocity!

[01:32:41] High.

[01:32:42] This level is actually

[01:32:43] absolutely a nightmare

[01:32:44] casually if you don't do

[01:32:45] those little strategic stops

[01:32:46] that you saw Conception

[01:32:47] do there,

[01:32:48] that just trivializes

[01:32:49] the level entirely

[01:32:50] so yeah, that was pretty neat.

[01:32:51] Yeah, we got the right amount of health too.

[01:32:53] We're going to tank a lot of hits in the next level.

[01:32:55] This is like those commercials where there's

[01:32:57] a woman underneath a waterfall.

[01:32:59] But like the realistic version

[01:33:00] where she keeps getting hurt over and over.

[01:33:03] Ow, ow, ow, ow!

[01:33:05] I'd just like to point out how tall Barbie is too.

[01:33:09] She isn't 6'5", strutting her...

[01:33:12] Good for her.

[01:33:13] Go off,

[01:33:14] go off Barbie.

[01:33:15] Amazon.

[01:33:16] Amazon Barbie.

[01:33:18] Cool.

[01:33:19] She's not like me

[01:33:20] for real.

[01:33:22] So yeah, if you notice the health is Z's.

[01:33:25] So Barbie sleeping so if you die

[01:33:28] because Barbie would never die right?

[01:33:30] She just wakes up.

[01:33:32] We get three wake ups and then she wakes up for good.

[01:33:34] Lots of pizzas. Yeah.

[01:33:35] So that's a pizza. Yep.

[01:33:37] And that's a pizza. That's a pizza.

[01:33:39] Also, that one. That's a pizza.

[01:33:41] I've heard... What's that?

[01:33:42] That's a pizza.

[01:33:43] Okay. Pizza.

[01:33:44] Crowds got it. pizza. Okay, pizza. Crowd's got it.

[01:33:45] All right.

[01:33:45] Barbie token pizza.

[01:33:47] Is it a pepperoni?

[01:33:49] What kind of pizza?

[01:33:50] I don't know.

[01:33:50] It looks raw still.

[01:33:52] Raw pizza.

[01:33:53] It doesn't look good. What kind of

[01:33:56] pizza would Barbie Stris dream about exactly? I don't know. Is Barbie like a

[01:34:00] pepperoni on Pizza Gal? Maybe she's like a pineapple on pizza.

[01:34:04] She might be, that's the vibe actually i can see that

[01:34:07] oh we're so bad she's just like me for real yeah

[01:34:09] i was getting worried he's getting worried that red toucan you saw has the worst hit box

[01:34:13] of anything in the whole game yes at the very start it says pizza but the z's look like eyes

[01:34:19] i finally saw it and it looks yeah because that's peter it just says

[01:34:22] pizza there's also a piece of invincibility on one of those um

[01:34:26] on one of those tables, but it runs out

[01:34:27] before you get to the boss.

[01:34:28] It doesn't actually matter at all.

[01:34:29] This is the pizza oven.

[01:34:31] Yeah that's a boss believe it or not!

[01:34:34] You know how in Portal 2

[01:34:36] you shut down like GLaDOS's neurotoxin?

[01:34:39] It's like that. You shut off the pizza generation

[01:34:43] We have a bit of an unskippable cutscene here so we can get one or two donations

[01:34:47] Wonderful, wonderful! here's ten dollars from augen

[01:34:52] who says good luck with the run just know that whatever time it ends up being is Kenna.

[01:34:59] Aww!

[01:35:01] I love getting to work with you, and

[01:35:03] I look forward to showing off even more

[01:35:05] awful and silly games

[01:35:07] in the future. Oh my god, you're a mermaid.

[01:35:09] Yes.

[01:35:11] So in the future. Oh my god, you're a mermaid! Yes! So as you can tell

[01:35:13] by my sunglasses we are at the beach now

[01:35:15] That's actually what the cutscene says

[01:35:17] She said let's go to the beach and then this happens

[01:35:19] Under the beach, I think?

[01:35:20] Yes.

[01:35:21] Very anxiety-inducing music as well.

[01:35:24] Not the best track.

[01:35:25] This is not fitting for a Barbie game.

[01:35:27] Also the most annoying movement because

[01:35:28] I have to mash A to move here.

[01:35:32] There is Captain 8 in it annoying movement because I have to mash A to move here. Yeah, so it is capped at 8 hits

[01:35:34] per second but that's still

[01:35:36] considerable. You can definitely hurt yourself

[01:35:38] playing this game. Yeah, also we only do this

[01:35:40] for a few levels so we don't have to do any repetitive stress injuries

[01:35:43] here.

[01:35:44] This is the shortest world in the game for sure.

[01:35:45] She whips it too like look at her like she's going so fast.

[01:35:49] Take this little scene.

[01:35:50] The animation for that is actually good.

[01:35:52] We were comparing the number of frames compared take this a little saying for that it's like we were actually good yeah we're

[01:35:53] comparing the number of frames compared to like Mega Man's walks I know and

[01:35:57] that's fine we got an extra house that's totally okay yes yes clam if you will yes absolutely not so yeah so the health is routed

[01:36:12] that they're out in this game uh the health is routed. The route in this game...

[01:36:14] ...the health is routed pretty tightly in this game.

[01:36:16] There's a bunch of extra backup healths and stuff.

[01:36:19] But what you're doing really depends on how much health you have.

[01:36:22] That hit that Conception took earlier like completely nothing burger yes i like turtles sorry just had to get it

[01:36:31] you don't want to predict what this says i'm thinking barbecue

[01:36:33] yeah barbara options on the bar I was thinking barbecue. Yeah, another option? Bar...

[01:36:35] Barbie!

[01:36:36] Bar-bin-heimer.

[01:36:37] Ooh.

[01:36:39] No.

[01:36:41] Barber.

[01:36:43] Barber.

[01:36:45] A little bit of an auto scroller here as you can see with no nothing to worry about at all.

[01:36:49] So, Pippi if we got another donation get squeeze one in here too.

[01:36:51] Oh I've got some great ones for ya. Here is $25 from Flamin Sargege who says, that's a pizza.

[01:36:57] Time for another quick one. Yeah, that was a quick one. See you in one more.

[01:37:01] Here is five dollars from V Storm Courage who says how can

[01:37:05] Con Beach if they're at the mall?

[01:37:08] Yeah.

[01:37:09] That's why my job is video game.

[01:37:10] Yep.

[01:37:11] Oh!

[01:37:12] Established lore.

[01:37:14] This is the underwater prison complex.

[01:37:16] Yeah.

[01:37:17] Oh god.

[01:37:17] Yeah. This level's like some sort of

[01:37:19] wind maze? I've never really fully

[01:37:21] understood the mechanic. You kinda just

[01:37:23] mash through it. The underwater

[01:37:25] tornadoes are gonna be out to get us all.

[01:37:27] Dolphin grab?

[01:37:29] Yeah!

[01:37:30] Okay!

[01:37:32] Wow, I miss that about 50% of the time.

[01:37:34] That can get real bad really fast.

[01:37:36] I love that... Hardest boss fight, hang on.

[01:37:37] Yep, sorry.

[01:37:39] Quiet time. Stand down. Oh! oh hardest boss fight hang on yep sorry quiet time

[01:38:12] Shout out to the rest of the couch and don't fall into the jukebox!

[01:38:16] Oh no... I'm gonna fall in the jukebox now.

[01:38:20] That was explicitly a jinx which is fair yeah maybe a counter you know it might be

[01:38:24] a counter yeah double reverse we'll have to find out look up there so we're in a soda fountain

[01:38:28] in the 50s now 10 cents yeah yeah that's a that's an ice cream cone that's an ice cream cone. That steam does hurt you, but the nice thing about those ice cream cones is that there

[01:38:36] are two pixels of safe space on each side of the ice cream cone so if you wanted to

[01:38:40] be super swaggy you could do that and lose time.

[01:38:42] Milk is five cents. I'm going to go with six cents. Okay. side of the ice cream cone. So if you wanted to be super swaggy,

[01:38:43] you could do that and lose time.

[01:38:45] Milk is five cents.

[01:38:47] I like the soda.

[01:38:49] It looks like grape soda.

[01:38:51] Shout out to Grape Soda.

[01:38:52] Underrated soda.

[01:38:54] Feel free to Shout out to Grape Soda. I know! Underrated soda! Grape Soda is underrated.

[01:38:56] Feel free to shout out your favorite sodas in the donations and we might get to read

[01:38:59] one or two of them.

[01:39:00] Yeah.

[01:39:01] There's not much time left on the run to be candid.

[01:39:04] Shout outs to Putt-Putt. Putt-Putt, yeah. up in the run to be

[01:39:04] putt, putt.

[01:39:07] And take some damage here on purpose. Get him back immediately

[01:39:10] and you get a second health here too. Do you think Barbie is a hot dog girlie

[01:39:13] or hamburger girlie? That's a hot dog girly or a hamburger girly? That is

[01:39:16] a great question.

[01:39:18] I did someone scream ham.

[01:39:22] She

[01:39:22] really likes ham, yeah.

[01:39:24] Pineapple pizza.

[01:39:26] Okay, so she just likes it.

[01:39:28] Java!

[01:39:29] That's a new one.

[01:39:30] 10 cents?

[01:39:31] Same price as Toto.

[01:39:32] Shout out to that popcorn you can feed it and the kernels will pop everywhere

[01:39:35] and get you that health.

[01:39:36] But we don't need to do that.

[01:39:37] Who has the time?

[01:39:38] Jelly's kittens popcorn.

[01:39:41] That's a pizza.

[01:39:43] I guess.

[01:39:44] It's a hamburger.

[01:39:45] It shouldn't be,

[01:39:46] but it looks more of a pizza.

[01:39:47] Yeah, than the pizzas that we saw.

[01:39:49] I agree with that.

[01:39:50] Java.

[01:39:51] That's orange soda as well.

[01:39:53] Let me get this back up health.

[01:39:54] We are in a marathon after all.

[01:39:55] Let's just be extra, extra safe.

[01:39:57] Having four health going into the next one very good

[01:39:59] spot farming here is impossible yeah this platform is so weird yeah it's a weird momentum situation

[01:40:05] yeah soda soda Soda. Soda! Soda!

[01:40:09] Or...

[01:40:10] Soda!

[01:40:12] Java!

[01:40:14] Milk!

[01:40:16] And now a boss.

[01:40:18] That's good, we got the two.

[01:40:19] That's the double.

[01:40:20] That's going to hit.

[01:40:21] Oh!

[01:40:22] I should have.

[01:40:23] It was a little too hard there.

[01:40:24] That was the equivalent of calling your shot

[01:40:26] and then not getting anywhere close.

[01:40:28] That was really close to the ultimate fight.

[01:40:30] We were so close.

[01:40:32] Also, giant burgers that crush you.

[01:40:34] Burger!

[01:40:36] Okay, that's fine. I had an extra health anyway.

[01:40:38] You needed one of the two.

[01:40:39] Yeah, we're good.

[01:40:40] We ideally try to get

[01:40:41] two there but I did not

[01:40:42] wait long enough for that

[01:40:42] one to spawn and it just

[01:40:44] went right through me.

[01:40:45] 20 cents for the burger

[01:40:46] too.

[01:40:46] Fries.

[01:40:47] Hot dog's only 15.

[01:40:49] Oh!

[01:40:49] Hot dog.

[01:40:50] We forgot we were

[01:40:50] going to bring fries and chocolate.

[01:40:52] Yeah, during the run.

[01:40:54] Nothing's open right now unfortunately.

[01:40:56] You could say that I would have been assaulted.

[01:41:00] And that while I'm playing video games, folks.

[01:41:03] Imagine when I'm not playing video games.

[01:41:05] Your job is video game.

[01:41:07] Yeah my job is video games.

[01:41:09] Critical thinking under pressure.

[01:41:11] Burger! Another health there in the patty. Burger. Burger.

[01:41:13] Another health there in the patty.

[01:41:18] For fans of pallet swaps, these fries are just a fish again but they're fries.

[01:41:20] Literally the same.

[01:41:22] They're not fish, they're fries.

[01:41:24] Do you take purposeful hits?

[01:41:26] Yeah

[01:41:28] So you can. You can take purposeful hits

[01:41:30] Shakes are 80 cents, they better be thick shakes

[01:41:32] Yeah, they better be thick shakes. Let's go!

[01:41:37] Thick shakes... This is another

[01:41:39] boss. Another boss.

[01:41:41] Some ice cream.

[01:41:43] Alright we got good RNG there so we're gonna be fine.

[01:41:44] Yeah, we're-

[01:41:45] Although you have a lot of health right now.

[01:41:46] Yeah I like to be extra safe, y'know?

[01:41:48] Cannot hurt.

[01:41:49] And...

[01:41:50] And...

[01:41:51] Alright!

[01:41:52] We did it.

[01:41:53] That's the Sunday.

[01:41:54] Okay. Worst level in any video game coming out legitimately i'm going to stay completely focused

[01:41:58] here this is really actually serious okay yeah why don't you you could describe this so yes

[01:42:04] that's fine we're inside of a jukebox jumping on these notes

[01:42:07] and then getting hit by these coins

[01:42:09] so you can see that moving platform underneath us

[01:42:11] it's a conveyor belt that sends us to the

[01:42:13] beginning of the level if we fall

[01:42:15] over and over again. Hopefully, we won't

[01:42:17] see it happen but every time it happens at this point

[01:42:19] if we're this far into the level you're going to lose

[01:42:21] 20 seconds every single time you fall.

[01:42:24] So yeah, we'll just

[01:42:25] sort of let him...

[01:42:26] I can't even like watch this part

[01:42:28] It stresses me out too much

[01:42:30] You've just one-shot that

[01:42:32] Yeah

[01:42:34] Oh

[01:42:36] This is the final boss by the way. Yeah, Tiny was coming up soon if I can do this right.

[01:42:41] You gotta keep these coins spinning for some reason.

[01:42:44] Yeah...

[01:42:45] The final boss is rock and roll we are in the 50s

[01:42:49] Obviously it's the devil music boss is rock and roll. We are in the 50s and obviously it is The Devil's Music

[01:42:50] And

[01:42:52] time

[01:42:54] That was a good run.

[01:42:59] That was really good.

[01:43:01] It's amazing.

[01:43:04] First try jukebox.

[01:43:06] I got married last year, but the second best moment in my life

[01:43:08] Was that? Was the conveyor belt level oh

[01:43:12] my gosh that's okay when i met a celebrity this year that might have been

[01:43:17] name drop name droppet i did meet robert downey yeah iron man yeah okay well we do not want to keep you

[01:43:45] So please like our tweets we really appreciate it

[01:43:47] Yeah and that's it

[01:43:49] Please continue to enjoy

[01:43:51] The best block in Marath's The Silly Block.

[01:43:52] Thanks everybody!

[01:43:59] Alright everyone, welcome back to Silly Block

[01:44:02] We are in the extremely

[01:44:04] hot Japanese PS1 section

[01:44:06] of the marathon. This is

[01:44:08] a game that, if you've never seen it

[01:44:10] before, could really only come from Japan.

[01:44:13] I am joined by Ekdysis on

[01:44:15] commentary, he's the only other person

[01:44:17] I know that's actually beaten this game

[01:44:19] on console before

[01:44:19] and one of like five people

[01:44:23] that's actually beaten the whole game period on video um so i think uh

[01:44:28] let's get right into it uh there's a lot of action going on here and this game is actually quite hard

[01:44:33] so if i do die that's kind of expected it's unlikely

[01:44:36] I'll beat the game without dying but we'll give it a go here. So for ready

[01:44:40] let's get going here in three two one go In three, two, one.

[01:44:47] Go!

[01:44:54] All right, so the basic structure of this game is there are five worlds. Each world has three tracks and

[01:45:01] There's one goal and that goal is survive. Um...

[01:45:05] There are no railings on any tracks in this game, you do have to steer the whole

[01:45:10] time. There also is a brake button but not only

[01:45:14] is that slow it's actually useless because it doesn't really help you.

[01:45:19] And every track will have the

[01:45:21] slow buildup and here we go!

[01:45:25] Yeah pretty much

[01:45:27] every single level of the game is going to go this fast.

[01:45:29] It's one of those games that immediately you realize how difficult the game actually is.

[01:45:35] Let's throw some things in. So every level

[01:45:37] You need to complete three laps of the deadly coasters.

[01:45:41] Laura, the game is that...

[01:45:42] I don't even remember the guy.

[01:45:43] It's like some mad scientist made some roller coasters

[01:45:46] to impress his son.

[01:45:47] So you needed to ride them.

[01:45:49] You're not the sun, you're just some

[01:45:50] so you're just like some people but obviously a lot's going on you want to avoid uh the bar

[01:45:57] in the top left that is your life um You have about maybe I think five

[01:46:01] hits in total. There

[01:46:03] was a heal in the middle of the track.

[01:46:05] We do grab it there so we jam

[01:46:06] but you know what? Melee sort of kind of managed

[01:46:09] not getting hit throughout these tracks.

[01:46:12] Falling off does not immediately kill you, what it will do instead is take one

[01:46:16] of those bars in the top left and count as a full hit

[01:46:20] Getting hit is not a full hit, it's like a minor hit depending on what

[01:46:23] hits you. But yeah! We have about 15 levels of this

[01:46:27] we've got fun Scott music, we have the track and lucky!

[01:46:31] So the game Lucky!

[01:46:35] So the game just doesn't give you a lot of chops.

[01:46:37] It tells you that you're lucky every time

[01:46:39] you beat this stage.

[01:46:45] I think the first time i played this game it took me like two hours to beat that stage for the first time oh yeah

[01:46:48] it's very very annoying um so and as the tracks kind of progress

[01:46:53] here they'll add in different gimmicks.

[01:46:56] This track actually has a hole in it that you have to jump over

[01:47:00] And the way the game indicates there's a hole in the track is there are these rows of shovels along

[01:47:05] the outside on an early level like this it's pretty

[01:47:09] well telegraphed but later in the game you can't it's not really reactable so

[01:47:14] you just have to know that the holes are there or

[01:47:15] you will fall in

[01:47:21] something this level also teaches you is

[01:47:25] actually intentionally manipulating

[01:47:27] your cart to the left or right side

[01:47:29] of the track, which I'm going to do in this

[01:47:31] section to avoid getting hit by these bones.

[01:47:33] If you just stay in the middle there those

[01:47:35] will hit you and every time something hits you it actually sends you towards an edge of

[01:47:39] the track so not only is getting hit bad but

[01:47:42] getting hit makes it much easier to actually fall off

[01:47:45] so you really just don't want to get hit and then in certain situations where i have full help

[01:47:50] I'll actually skip that blue gem which is the health refill uh that was mentioned earlier um

[01:47:55] i don't need it right now because i have full health so i just skipped

[01:47:57] it and then

[01:47:57] i'll get it on lap two instead uh just to get full use of it uh

[01:48:02] because getting it while you're at full help

[01:48:04] doesn't, it gives you more points if you get it while you have full health but

[01:48:08] points don't matter for speed here so in fact

[01:48:12] it's probably better to not do that because if you get more points then you get a higher

[01:48:15] score and that takes a little longer but that's not really something to worry about here.

[01:48:22] There are also three attacks you can use

[01:48:24] there is a short, medium and

[01:48:26] long range attack

[01:48:28] I did not know there was a medium range attack in this game until like last year

[01:48:32] because I just never pressed the button.

[01:48:34] Yeah!

[01:48:35] So if you...

[01:48:38] Triangle is the medium range button, so

[01:48:41] The first few runs of this game i did do not use triangle which actually makes

[01:48:45] the game a lot harder because triangle is very good um but if you just

[01:48:50] if i bothered to open the manual

[01:48:51] I would have seen that but I couldn't be bothered because

[01:48:53] I already couldn't read it so I didn't even bother looking at it.

[01:48:56] Nice! So I got an audio bug here

[01:48:59] You'll notice this stage ended immediately

[01:49:07] So I'm not exactly sure how it works but my current theory is if you fire a weapon the same frame you finish the track

[01:49:10] you will overlap audio sound effects and the game will not

[01:49:13] play the jingle at

[01:49:15] the end there while it tells you you're lucky.

[01:49:17] If you get that, it saves 8 seconds

[01:49:19] and you can get that on every track

[01:49:21] so if you get that on every track, it would save about two minutes

[01:49:24] total but it's very

[01:49:26] hard. I think the most

[01:49:28] times I've gotten it in one run is five

[01:49:30] but every time

[01:49:32] you get that, it saves a bunch of time.

[01:49:34] So I'm glad I got there because I didn't want to have to just say

[01:49:36] That it exists and I never get it

[01:49:40] This is the first boss track

[01:49:42] How the boss tracks in this game work

[01:49:44] Are, you do three laps

[01:49:45] of the track normally and then a split path will open

[01:49:50] And then you fight the boss

[01:49:53] And when you fight bosses in this game, there are two ways to kill them.

[01:49:56] One is just hit them enough times and they die

[01:49:59] and the other is that you have to actually survive three more laps

[01:50:03] so that option is slower on every boss

[01:50:05] So I'm going to try and kill them all.

[01:50:09] And if I end up in a situation where I am at low health it may be worthwhile

[01:50:13] to actually just wait the boss out but hopefully we don't...

[01:50:17] Hopefully that doesn't happen in our each killing so there's the first three laps

[01:50:24] and then this brick wall will open here now i go this way

[01:50:27] and then here comes the first boss it's this clown guy.

[01:50:31] He's not too tricky but the bosses in this game can vary wildly in difficulty like within

[01:50:37] the fight sometimes they just do nothing and

[01:50:40] sometimes they fill the screen with attacks that you cannot dodge um his strategy is throwing

[01:50:46] beach balls at you i think i don't know what pounds beach balls is a thing but like

[01:50:50] yeah he just had the end of this coaster uh and then he's dead

[01:50:53] he just dies and that gives us great and i got the audio bug again. Lucky!

[01:51:02] This is definitely...

[01:51:04] Because I've got the audio bug twice, this is definitely

[01:51:06] world record pace but it won't stay that way unfortunately

[01:51:08] because I'm gonna need to get that several more times.

[01:51:10] This game is hard. We are anyway

[01:51:12] one of five major coasters down

[01:51:15] we're on hub two especially now

[01:51:16] so if you manage to get

[01:51:19] through hub one and you thought like okay well this game was hard but I made it.

[01:51:22] Then you get to this level. And if you though staying on the track was hard before

[01:51:26] This track has ice physics so you just go flying all over the place.

[01:51:31] On this track, way more than others I will be teetering on the edge basically

[01:51:35] the entire time and that is because it's impossible to stay on this track.

[01:51:41] The most fun part is that

[01:51:43] this is the only level in the game with ice physics

[01:51:45] Like no other level has this

[01:51:47] This is the only one where I was like, oh yeah, ice physics

[01:51:49] Why not?

[01:51:53] While we are showing these just a couple of things to add really quick. We talked about the attacks

[01:51:57] we have different ranges. We have short and medium long

[01:52:01] which is I think square triangle as we mentioned earlier not knowing about in circle.

[01:52:07] Which by the way I don't think a single runner knew there was a medium attack.

[01:52:11] Yeah I've done runs of this before with commentary and i just said like yeah there's two attacks

[01:52:15] these are short in the long like i did not know there was one joseph dm me saying there's a medium

[01:52:20] attack what do you mean this is a medium attack like nobody knew it just yeah there's a way to attack media i actually think

[01:52:29] when i said i told punchy that and he said how did you not know that and my response

[01:52:34] to him was why didn't you tell me that?

[01:52:35] Because it would have helped me a lot.

[01:52:36] He didn't even really run the game!

[01:52:37] You could've told us!

[01:52:39] Well if you can read the manual

[01:52:40] you coulda told me that

[01:52:41] Even though if you look at the manual

[01:52:42] It's very obvious that Triangle does something

[01:52:45] Also I can't read Japanese i can't read japanese i

[01:52:46] can't even manual i just thought the game looked cool i wanted to play it

[01:52:49] that's that's how that's how i roll also another thing about this game we

[01:52:53] talked earlier became being mean about hints and jumping

[01:52:56] so there is one hint about

[01:52:57] jumping and the game's not totally mean except it's really mean

[01:53:01] the only hint is that like i think three guitars will show up before you jump

[01:53:04] they're shovels i think they're shoveled i thought they were guitars for the longest time too and I'm pretty sure

[01:53:08] I've said that but they are shovels.

[01:53:10] By the way, that's your hint.

[01:53:11] There's three little like things.

[01:53:13] That's it.

[01:53:14] Nothing else.

[01:53:15] But you do get lucky.

[01:53:16] Yeah.

[01:53:17] I got lucky once again

[01:53:23] so you'll notice here i did not get that bug and the music is playing and see how much

[01:53:26] longer this screen takes to go away than it does when that music does not play so if anyone can

[01:53:32] figure out what actually causes that and find a setup for it please let me know because i would

[01:53:37] not be surprised if my theory is just completely inaccurate, and it's

[01:53:40] just completely random or there's some other thing that causes it. So this level

[01:53:44] uh...would you like to explain? Yeah yeah sure. There are two things with

[01:53:48] this level. One, its really laggy uh and two is there's actually a

[01:53:53] split path on this level and taking the split path saves a ton of time probably about a minute

[01:53:58] over the course of the track because you do it three times.

[01:54:01] You can count the frames here, it's very bad.

[01:54:06] It's actually

[01:54:07] difficult to take the split paths in this

[01:54:09] game. You can't just approach

[01:54:11] the fork and press the direction you want to go,

[01:54:13] you have to like swing into the turn so I'm going

[01:54:16] stay on the right here and then swing to the left

[01:54:18] in order to go this way. And that cuts out

[01:54:21] three quarters of the track it actually makes us

[01:54:23] like the shortest level in the game we also land this three times now if i look easy i'll tell you

[01:54:29] right now from experience it is not will happen very often is you're not hugging the exact

[01:54:33] right, um...the game will just decide

[01:54:35] oh! You want to go with the right path because I think

[01:54:37] the right path is default and it takes

[01:54:39] so much longer if you accidentally send down the right path

[01:54:41] It's also that the split path has two jumps

[01:54:46] immediately and you cannot react to them you just have to know they're there or you will fall in

[01:54:51] to at least the first one and probably the second one too yeah with this little pat levels

[01:54:57] you were close king i think what you wanted to say was

[01:55:04] all right so we're on the second boss level of the game and this one...

[01:55:07] Honestly I think this is one of the toughest ones in the game.

[01:55:09] This guy is very aggressive.

[01:55:11] Luckily his attacks do less damage than the later bosses, so you can just kind of tank your way through him.

[01:55:19] One of the good things about this boss is that the laps for the boss fight itself are actually extremely short

[01:55:27] So this is by far the most viable boss

[01:55:29] to just do three laps

[01:55:31] and win, um

[01:55:32] but I'm gonna try and stay at

[01:55:35] as high health as possible

[01:55:36] like I did not want to get the healthy I'm going to try and stay at as high health as possible.

[01:55:37] Okay, I did not want to get the Health Reels over there.

[01:55:39] I tried to jump over it but I jumped too early.

[01:55:41] Alright, I wanted to take a moment really quick

[01:55:43] to ask not only Joester

[01:55:44] but I guess anyone watching

[01:55:45] what do you think they're throwing

[01:55:47] i always thought it was oranges but like i have no idea the hell that i'd be

[01:55:49] growing

[01:55:52] okay health isn't great here but let's see if we can kill this like deer on a

[01:55:55] log looking deer.

[01:56:05] This is not good. This is the boss right here, he is quite tough.

[01:56:07] It is awkward as well.

[01:56:09] Oh, we got him!

[01:56:13] That was close.

[01:56:14] You see I didn't have much help left there.

[01:56:16] This one's mean.

[01:56:17] It is always one of the meanest ones because you mentioned how aggressive it is.

[01:56:20] Yeah and that guy's consistently just... these bosses have two modes nothing

[01:56:25] and fill the screen with an attack you can't dodge

[01:56:28] And that guy likes option B a lot and just the way the boss will kind of

[01:56:33] act really just changes what kind of throw you want to do there's the close throws are nice but

[01:56:37] long throws tend to hit a lot more consistently now you get

[01:56:40] more close throws you get more damage

[01:56:41] if you can actually hit them.

[01:56:43] It just doesn't always work.

[01:56:45] Honestly the short attack in this game is kind of crap

[01:56:47] so I almost never use it.

[01:56:49] Medium and long range are just superior in 98%

[01:56:52] of situations

[01:56:53] So this track is actually interesting

[01:56:56] in that it's deceptively

[01:56:58] hard because getting the health

[01:57:00] refill on this level is actually really hard,

[01:57:03] because it's like underneath a part of the track

[01:57:05] where you have to jump off

[01:57:07] and it's very easy to jump over it.

[01:57:09] It's also very easy to get hit on this track

[01:57:12] cause those stone pillars are random um

[01:57:15] so they can be in the middle of the left or right and it's very hard to get through

[01:57:19] there without getting hit i got lucky on that first lap there and didn't take any damage.

[01:57:28] Pretty much the more laps they get no damage, the better you feel about the game every single time because

[01:57:30] some of the levels in this game

[01:57:32] get really bad later on

[01:57:34] oh yeah so i didn't want to get that but uh we got the blue gem early

[01:57:38] well that's bad all right

[01:57:41] it's all right these mine guys are really obnoxious.

[01:57:44] Yeah.

[01:57:53] And again, there is only one health pickup per level so I accidentally got it on the first lap here

[01:57:57] So now I can't get it again.

[01:58:00] Yeah that one in particular we were talking about it

[01:58:02] It's really awkward to pick up because

[01:58:05] I think you have to jump really early

[01:58:07] to actually grab it. It's an awkward time.

[01:58:09] And if you jump while you're getting hit,

[01:58:10] you actually go flying which is fast

[01:58:12] but then you don't get

[01:58:15] the

[01:58:15] that person then you don't get the uh

[01:58:21] uh i pressed circle like five times there nothing happened so that was very cool

[01:58:26] uh hopefully that does not become a recurring theme in this game.

[01:58:28] Alright, we're looking good or should I say lucky?

[01:58:32] Lucky. Thank you. if you got uh donations this is a great time here i do have donations jay sent in 25 and says ice

[01:58:54] physics on the track might be the most evil design decision i have ever witnessed.

[01:59:00] I gotta say, I agree with that.

[01:59:03] I also have a donation here for $10 from Nilia who says

[01:59:07] Audience hype!

[01:59:14] Love the anime says audience hype love the energy even in the middle of the night and then there's a cute smiley face on it

[01:59:19] name evasives ended 30 dollars says greetings from finland Name of Ace ascended $30 says, Greetings from Finland.

[01:59:22] My first ever donation to anything on this platform and I'm glad it goes to a good cause.

[01:59:27] Fight the good fight! Game fast!

[01:59:29] Can't wait to see what silliness will be coming up next on this block.

[01:59:34] Me neither.

[01:59:37] All right, so this level is like awesome.

[01:59:40] I feel like it's one of these easier levels because you kind of just go

[01:59:43] underwater a lot of things.

[01:59:45] I think the main thing they test you on is

[01:59:46] 1. The shark has an odd delay which we avoid

[01:59:48] there and also there's those weird

[01:59:51] swords that will drop down in the middle of this yeah

[01:59:53] look at two major things those clam shells as far as i can tell are just random uh which one closes

[02:00:00] on which lap is not consistent at all so i didn't realize there's times i've

[02:00:05] never like switched something i think they're just big clamshells

[02:00:08] you're definitely right it looks like that chest it's very hard to actually

[02:00:11] make out the detail of anything in this game, which is a shame.

[02:00:14] It's flying by! Because

[02:00:16] the enemies and all the sprites and stuff are actually

[02:00:19] very detailed but you can't really

[02:00:21] tell. Like I

[02:00:23] don't want to say it, Joseph's making looks very easy. You play this game and you feel like you can barely control your cart

[02:00:28] A lot of people when they start, they can't control the cart

[02:00:32] Yeah that's uh... Without the feel for how the card controls this game is impossible because you will just fall off all the time.

[02:00:40] Yeah when you start it's a lot of like left right left

[02:00:42] Right left right just try and stay on the track then you realize there's like enemies

[02:00:47] And then it's rough but we are lucky

[02:00:50] we are we are always lucky

[02:00:58] next we're approaching our third boss level coming up here. This guy is scary.

[02:01:00] If I'm... this guy's probably the most likely boss to kill me,

[02:01:04] maybe even more than the final boss.

[02:01:06] This guy...

[02:01:09] Like most bosses

[02:01:10] his difficulty varies a lot

[02:01:13] Sometimes he's just

[02:01:14] hilariously easy and you wonder

[02:01:16] how could you possibly die to this guy?

[02:01:18] And then sometimes you die in five seconds.

[02:01:20] Honestly I think this is probably one of the hardest boss tracks

[02:01:23] or bosses at least.

[02:01:26] I actually think this track is one of the easier ones.

[02:01:28] But the boss part is the hardest part because there's so many blind turns,

[02:01:32] you can't see what he's throwing at you or where he's throwing it.

[02:01:35] Usually there's one of these jumps. I think it's like the, uh...

[02:01:39] The one that turns left

[02:01:40] and you're on the boss spawn?

[02:01:41] Yeah.

[02:01:42] That-that one is always helpful.

[02:01:44] So this track is great

[02:01:45] because if you actually don't fire a weapon

[02:01:46] before you cross the starting line

[02:01:47] You'll get hit by an enemy

[02:01:48] That one!

[02:01:49] You got hit by an enemy that spawns on top of

[02:01:50] you so it's very cool um and the track is rather short but they do have some

[02:01:57] mean enemies as we go along.

[02:02:02] Which is right about I think here is.

[02:02:07] Hopefully

[02:02:07] we'll get a good pattern and hopefully

[02:02:09] have no problems.

[02:02:13] One advantage here of the long-range attack too

[02:02:15] is that the enemies can actually run into

[02:02:16] the explosion of the attack because it lingers,

[02:02:19] so that's why it's really good especially on bosses

[02:02:21] because they just run into it

[02:02:22] and it still hurts them.

[02:02:25] Alright, let's see if we can get this guy

[02:02:26] on the first go.

[02:02:27] Alright, here we go!

[02:02:32] This guy is like a pirate who throws waves and watermelons at you.

[02:02:35] It's such an odd combination of attacks, but you want to see more

[02:02:39] watermelons than the waves. Waves are the battle type.

[02:02:42] I just actually disagree. I wanna see waves. Waves are the battle type. I actually disagree, I want to see

[02:02:44] waves. Really? Waves are easy to dodge.

[02:02:46] I always thought of the watermelons

[02:02:48] as they can see but like the waves

[02:02:50] and it's a whole screen.

[02:02:54] Oh, I'm in trouble here.

[02:02:56] Hold on! Hold!

[02:02:59] Yes!

[02:03:00] There it is!

[02:03:03] Quite lucky if you ask me.

[02:03:07] Very happy I got past that guy. Again, so in comparison

[02:03:09] That second boss all those things he throws

[02:03:11] All those like acorns and stuff

[02:03:13] They were filling the screen they all did 10%, so you can kind of just sit there

[02:03:16] and take it. Everything

[02:03:18] that guy throws does 20%. So if

[02:03:20] you get hit five times, you're dead. And I

[02:03:22] got hit three times and fell off once which

[02:03:24] counts as another hit. Um...so i'm very happy i got past that guy it's

[02:03:29] you know one in three that i actually beat that guy on the first try

[02:03:33] nine out of 15 down we are entering the final two hubs of the game

[02:03:37] this track has the worst noob trap in the game oh yeah

[02:03:41] and uh you'll see what i mean when we get there um because

[02:03:44] it kills i guarantee you it kills 100 I guarantee you

[02:03:47] it kills 100% of players

[02:03:48] on their first playthrough.

[02:03:51] So just pay attention

[02:03:52] to how the track is set up

[02:03:54] on the first two laps

[02:03:55] and then you'll see what happens.

[02:03:56] You'll see why.

[02:03:58] Also we haven't really talked about it but you may be wondering

[02:04:00] What does the score do?

[02:04:02] So the score actually does have a really big...

[02:04:04] also that's the trap right there

[02:04:05] No, that's not quite the trap

[02:04:06] I thought that was one of them

[02:04:08] That's kind of the trap. I thought that was one of them. Uh, it's kind of a trap if you actually jump off that and you...

[02:04:09] Yeah!

[02:04:10] It doesn't work. You actually die if you jump there.

[02:04:13] Wait so are you talking about the uh...

[02:04:15] Talking about the last three things.

[02:04:16] Oh okay.

[02:04:18] That ones mean. one's mean.

[02:04:19] It's very mean.

[02:04:21] I've already been hit way too many times on this level.

[02:04:24] Hopefully we'll get that again and avoid the enemies.

[02:04:25] Yeah.

[02:04:26] Enemies are a lot more aggressive here.

[02:04:27] Oh, I jumped over it.

[02:04:28] That's fine.

[02:04:30] I can get on the second lap because the enemies at... It's still there! The enemies at the end of the second lap are actually very easy to deal with.

[02:04:34] Yeah that one is mean especially when you start going through the laps

[02:04:37] as we mentioned if you try jumping in that gap

[02:04:40] You will just fall into the void.

[02:04:42] You have to roll into it.

[02:04:43] And it's so counterintuitive. It's like, oh, what am I doing?

[02:04:47] Oh, but for

[02:04:48] the points really quick,

[02:04:49] points actually decide ending ending you get,

[02:04:52] so depending on the threshold I think you hit,

[02:04:54] you'll get a different end screen.

[02:04:56] It's pretty minor because all it takes to beat the game is beat the game,

[02:04:59] but if you get a high enough score,

[02:05:00] it kind of just gives you cooler end screens.

[02:05:02] There's some other dogs and some other bees...

[02:05:04] So here we go.

[02:05:05] Game slows down and puts a hole in the track right in front of you.

[02:05:11] And if you do not jump right when the track speeds back up you will fall in it um so if

[02:05:15] you don't know that's there good luck because it's not real i'm pretty sure it's not reactable

[02:05:21] it's very very evil and that's funny thing you said about the end screen

[02:05:24] because I thought it was always tied to whether

[02:05:26] you actually beat the game without Game Overing or not.

[02:05:28] No! It's a point threshold.

[02:05:30] You know if you Game Over and you're not going to have nearly

[02:05:32] as many points as someone who's getting

[02:05:35] almost through there by just falling off at the end for no reason but

[02:05:39] because i think i've seen like what i haven't seen all of them but like i know there's one with

[02:05:42] like dogs there's another a theme park there's

[02:05:45] one where they're at the beach i've only seen two of

[02:05:47] the pictures so which ones i've seen the one

[02:05:50] with like the bunny outfit and then the one at the

[02:05:52] beach i didn't even know there were more than those two

[02:05:54] yeah there's no where they're straight up

[02:05:56] dogs.

[02:05:58] Actual dogs.

[02:05:59] I don't know how you get that one.

[02:06:02] I think you need a low score.

[02:06:05] I've even done just like the last three

[02:06:07] levels and still gotten

[02:06:08] one thought or picture. Might be the mid-score.

[02:06:11] Yeah, I don't know.

[02:06:13] Although it's funny because I thought that

[02:06:14] but then earlier this week I had to run that game over and then got the screen that i thought was the 1cc screen so i

[02:06:19] was very confused i didn't know how that happened

[02:06:21] but if it's time to score that actually makes sense

[02:06:25] all right some mad city too this one I always feel like kind of is more chill.

[02:06:29] Yeah this has some cool enemy designs. It's got these octopus dudes that throw vinyl at you.

[02:06:33] Also it's got some dudes in lowriders and all those things.

[02:06:36] And its also got these...I call them smurfs these guys here

[02:06:39] these blue guys because they look exactly like smarts um i'm sure i know the enemies in this

[02:06:45] game have names uh i couldn't tell you what there are a. There's a whole like, uh...

[02:06:49] Like roster, I think in like

[02:06:51] I think it's the credits? Also there's just random pipes that need

[02:06:53] giant pipes. It's very hard to get

[02:06:55] through those without getting hit by any of them. That's the worst

[02:06:57] part of this problem. I can't believe I did that.

[02:06:59] It was a giant pipe.

[02:07:08] Also, unfortunately it is a little hard to hear because I'm just like mashing fire the whole game but the music in this game is awesome.

[02:07:17] Yeah that's part of a weird thing that happened in the 90s.

[02:07:20] There were a lot of Japan-only games

[02:07:23] that had ska soundtracks

[02:07:26] and punk ska soundtracks

[02:07:28] I think it was Oh No!

[02:07:31] Oh No is a good game yeah they had the uh scott paradise in

[02:07:34] the soundtrack and that's why i think they're like a

[02:07:36] whole band like hey we want a cool soundtrack these songs

[02:07:40] you can actually play the soundtrack on the disc.

[02:07:43] Yeah, you can do that in this game too. It's the only other menu option besides playing

[02:07:47] the game is to play the music. Anyway I think this level has been pretty

[02:07:51] lucky! Oh been pretty lucky. Oh yeah, very lucky.

[02:08:01] We have a second to talk about some incentives here?

[02:08:06] Absolutely. Alright, well we have Bid Wars open, friends for the next three runs in The Silly Block

[02:08:09] the very next one

[02:08:11] y'all can put your donation towards

[02:08:13] choosing the character in Muscle March.

[02:08:16] Now, I don't know a whole lot about these characters.

[02:08:19] All I know is that Tony's in the lead at $285.

[02:08:22] Rossi is in second place at $276.i is in second place at

[02:08:25] $276.

[02:08:27] Brenda is in third place

[02:08:29] at $30 and then there have been

[02:08:31] no donations at all towards

[02:08:33] Abebe, Pedroso or Rio Jamal. Now, I don't know anything about any of these characters

[02:08:36] but if you want to know something

[02:08:38] about them, you want one of those

[02:08:40] to jump into the league

[02:08:42] do remember

[02:08:44] to click on that Bid War when you're getting your donation in

[02:08:48] to Doctors Without Borders.

[02:08:51] All right, so we are on the boss level of Mad City

[02:08:54] We're deep into the mad city

[02:08:55] So I actually think this track just

[02:08:57] the track is the hardest boss track it's a mean one personally yeah

[02:09:00] i find this one very hard and i've already been hit a lot there are so many

[02:09:03] enemies to deal with and they're just like upper y80 you have uh

[02:09:07] my god i don't even know what to call them you have like the basketball and there's like a variety. You have, my God,

[02:09:07] I don't even know

[02:09:08] what to call them.

[02:09:08] You have the basketball octopus,

[02:09:10] the concrete chicks.

[02:09:11] Yeah.

[02:09:11] You have just so many

[02:09:12] that spawn weirdly too

[02:09:14] in between jumps

[02:09:15] and will last a long time.

[02:09:16] Yeah, this bear that these guys throw is does a ton of damage and

[02:09:20] it just hit me from behind there which is very cool um so you really don't want to get hit by

[02:09:25] that i'm not in a good position because they've already got the health refill uh and i'm only

[02:09:31] at like 60 percent health or something luckily there is one upside to this level and in

[02:09:35] comparison to like hubs two and three if this boss always goes a little bit easier i'm not sure why

[02:09:42] i think there's eaten wide long hits more than any other boss uh so the thing with

[02:09:47] this boss is if you keep hitting the boss, it doesn't do any of the really nasty

[02:09:51] things. Now that makes sense.

[02:09:53] Because the really nasty things are really

[02:09:55] nasty but if you just keep hitting her she

[02:09:57] doesn't do them.

[02:09:59] That doesn't mean it's just easy to like you know just hit the boss right

[02:10:03] like but it's always one of those levels i feel like it's just like i don't see the attacks nearly

[02:10:07] as much as like the acorns oh yeah watermelon that is definitely true probably because it was

[02:10:13] yeah spamming the so actually what do you think the actual attacks are

[02:10:19] they're like oranges or something i always see the orange right

[02:10:23] i don't know those they're like oranges or something i obviously the orange is right

[02:10:25] i don't know there's a boss yeah you're sort of hitting it repeatedly

[02:10:27] and it will walk into almost every hit

[02:10:29] um if we're playing it right it should

[02:10:31] be good.

[02:10:32] There we go.

[02:10:37] Three more levels!

[02:10:40] So that boss again. There are two attacks

[02:10:44] it can do that are very bad. One is

[02:10:46] drops a garbage can onto the track

[02:10:48] that bounces around and its really hard to dodge

[02:10:50] like if you saw at the end of the previous level

[02:10:52] those three wooden pillars I I had to dodge.

[02:10:55] And then there's also this weird attack

[02:10:56] where there's like this huge hamburger on a tether

[02:10:59] that just goes back and forth

[02:11:00] and it just destroys you.

[02:11:02] So you don't want to see either of those attacks.

[02:11:07] And luckily we did not so all right i guess a quick update on the lore uh we've gone through all these areas we're in like mad vegas or

[02:11:12] something so it's kind of weird the plot of the game is that um i don't know the guy like dr panic

[02:11:17] or something made 15 coasters to impress his son his son has three coasters so we're fighting his

[02:11:22] sons coasters which are generally just like opulence in vegas so that's the theme there's a lot of gold

[02:11:28] here yeah a lot of gold uh funny enough i think level one is one of the easiest levels of the game

[02:11:34] and there's some hard things like i think there's a log later and like some

[02:11:38] weird angles but when you're already doing so much it just feels like a nice break i agree this

[02:11:44] for a late-game track, this is much easier.

[02:11:48] It's nice.

[02:11:50] So we've got this triple meat roller here.

[02:11:54] So actually jumping over all three of those is reasonably tricky.

[02:11:55] You have to time the first...

[02:11:57] Do you have to to time the first...

[02:11:59] Do you have to jump over the first one with pretty good timing in order

[02:12:00] to actually be able to jump over the other two

[02:12:03] without getting hit by them?

[02:12:05] But I got on that first lap, which is really good.

[02:12:08] The funny thing first lap which is really good

[02:12:12] the funny uh you say kind of ironic part is you mentioned this is one of the

[02:12:13] easiest tracks in the game i think then

[02:12:14] that's sort of like

[02:12:15] how hard it is oh yeah the next time

[02:12:17] yeah the next one's very hard they're

[02:12:18] mean they're really mean coming up.

[02:12:20] This one is a nice little break of like

[02:12:22] hey maybe we're not going to

[02:12:24] stop it.

[02:12:28] Okay on lap three there's an extra enemy there which can throw you off.

[02:12:32] But I managed to kill him so...

[02:12:34] Also the idea of the level that why it is all gold is like

[02:12:38] I guess lore wise the guy used to design roller coasters for his son but then he grew

[02:12:42] out of liking rollercoaster just because he liked money women and food which i get it like All right, so as Dice has mentioned this next level is evil.

[02:12:58] So the-this next level has two split paths. The problem is that there's only one combination of paths

[02:13:05] that actually takes you through the lap,

[02:13:07] so if you go the wrong way in this level

[02:13:09] you'll just go in circles and not complete laps

[02:13:12] which threw me off the first

[02:13:13] time I played this. You're doing laps for

[02:13:15] three minutes, and you're like, when is this track going to end?

[02:13:17] And then you realize you're still on lap one.

[02:13:21] But that

[02:13:21] is one of the reasons this track is hard.

[02:13:23] Second is the enemies,

[02:13:25] the nanana enemies as I call them are horrible

[02:13:28] and third is the start section

[02:13:30] on this level has a trillion pieces

[02:13:31] of food that are falling down

[02:13:33] and you almost always get

[02:13:35] hit by at least one of them. Maybe

[02:13:37] even more. So...

[02:13:39] That's the luck! Here we go.

[02:13:46] Yeah, this level always kind of reminds me Of the level from earlier in the woods

[02:13:48] Where it's oh you want to take

[02:13:49] The correct path

[02:13:51] Which always isn't the easiest

[02:13:53] In terms of the path we do want to take, I want to say

[02:13:56] it's like two lefts? Two lefts.

[02:13:58] You're both left on both. It's easier than you think

[02:14:00] it is. It's one of those things that if you're not thinking about

[02:14:02] you're not going to get it. The level does end up being

[02:14:04] much shorter but there are just so many obstacles in this

[02:14:06] level that even knowing the path and even knowing the cheese of this level is still

[02:14:11] really hard.

[02:14:12] Especially if you end up getting some of these enemies like wipe on the turn when you're

[02:14:16] trying to avoid them,

[02:14:16] you might accidentally take

[02:14:17] a wrong turn and then it gets really bad.

[02:14:19] Yeah, you really don't want

[02:14:20] to take a wrong turn here.

[02:14:23] Okay good. I didn't need it

[02:14:25] but I'm very glad I got that.

[02:14:28] Alright we've got one more lap and we are looking pretty good right now

[02:14:32] A lot of enemies here so it can be very tricky

[02:14:36] Absolutely. I always hear once you make the jump,

[02:14:39] your more home free

[02:14:43] and...

[02:14:45] Okay, that was the last enemy we're good

[02:14:47] We were quite lucky!

[02:14:55] Alright, one more level.

[02:14:56] It is the final boss.

[02:15:03] So unlike the other bosses in the game, this boss is different. There aren't three laps and then you fight the boss. This is just...you fight the boss. And there's no survive X-lapses and win.

[02:15:08] There is only kill this guy or be killed.

[02:15:11] Those are the only two options.

[02:15:12] He has his own coaster cart.

[02:15:15] Let's just say that.

[02:15:16] Assuming I actually beat this guy on the first try,

[02:15:19] time will be when the characters turn back towards the screen.

[02:15:21] When we get lucky. But it's

[02:15:23] reasonably likely

[02:15:25] that he will kill me. This is hard.

[02:15:27] This is a very hard fight.

[02:15:29] I know several people have told me they tried playing through the game and got

[02:15:33] to this point and just gave up and i'm gonna basically exclusively use the long range attack

[02:15:38] here because the other ones are bad so i'm just going to basically mash square for the entire fight.

[02:15:42] Here we go!

[02:15:44] Alright, yeah he has his golden like throne

[02:15:47] He has a bunch of money and I guess chicks on his side

[02:15:51] And that's how he attacks

[02:15:52] He just throws money at you yeah i'm also a

[02:15:54] bad start here because i've already been hit twice but um he also those golden turtles

[02:16:00] like you know what i think hey i think that's what those are. And bags

[02:16:04] of money. Also, I think this is

[02:16:06] one of the only coasters in the game that has

[02:16:08] no gem. Oh, that is correct.

[02:16:10] There's no refill on this one. You just

[02:16:12] gotta go for it.

[02:16:15] This is a really...I'm probably

[02:16:17] gonna die here. Also, I don't know of a game

[02:16:19] that has more phases of a fight than

[02:16:21] this game. Luckily the game

[02:16:23] is generous if we do end up eating a death here. We can continue straight from this fight

[02:16:27] It still is hard don't be wrong but uh it is at least nicer than having to go back to like Mad City 1

[02:16:33] Oh yeah my estimate would be way higher if that was how long the game worked I think he's going to be a little bit more aggressive

[02:16:36] than the one that Matt said

[02:16:38] he won.

[02:16:40] My estimate would

[02:16:42] be way higher if that was how

[02:16:44] it worked. So now the hard part starts. Yeah, so he turns into like a head and then you need to hit him.

[02:16:46] He'll throw waves of fire golden turtles

[02:16:49] and I don't remember if he does the money bag.

[02:16:51] Maybe it's just those two.

[02:16:52] No money bags in this phase.

[02:16:54] I totally ran into that fire and it didn't hit me so the golden turtles always found

[02:16:58] out the most brutal attack cover the whole screen so i stay intentionally stay on the

[02:17:01] edge of the track against this guy because if he throws the golden turtle attack on while you're

[02:17:05] on the edge like half of it goes off this track and it's much

[02:17:08] easier to dodge it that way um that doesn't make it you know it still like can be impossible to dodge

[02:17:16] so uh in terms of range he does go in and out

[02:17:18] Of your intended range

[02:17:20] However long attacks as I mentioned earlier

[02:17:22] Are mostly preferred

[02:17:23] Because long attacks almost always will have

[02:17:25] The little afterburn carry over

[02:17:27] And bosses very often run into that.

[02:17:29] Yeah this guy in particular runs into it a lot.

[02:17:31] He loves doing that. You can hit him with some other attacks but you have to be like

[02:17:35] you know, you have to hope he actually gets in range which just just too long just too long yeah

[02:17:42] i'm in a really bad shape here but um in terms of the health uh i think the larger his head

[02:17:47] skits that's the help it was and more beat up as we go,

[02:17:50] which it's looking pretty good but we still have a lot to work on.

[02:17:53] Yeah, I'm not particularly close here.

[02:17:55] I'm in trouble.

[02:17:56] I'm probably going to die here.

[02:18:00] Hopefully we can maybe have everyone cheer on Joester. so so so Yes!

[02:18:46] There it is, Jeff Lissatt Panacoaster.

[02:18:48] Woo!

[02:18:52] My God he landed it. And I got the audio bug on the final boss there.

[02:18:55] Oh my god, is that time by the way?

[02:18:57] Yeah, that was time.

[02:19:00] Let's go.

[02:19:01] Oh my god man, that was...

[02:19:03] Let's freaking go.

[02:19:04] And there's the best cutting you can get

[02:19:06] they're at the beach having a good time what a run and then the first line of

[02:19:10] the credits they spelled executive wrong here which is very

[02:19:12] hilarious uh executive so that's that's me very hilarious executive

[02:19:17] that's made panic coaster uh...

[02:19:19] i probably got a high score so all type it in the eye after the credits for

[02:19:22] years or take a minute

[02:19:24] um... yeah i think i've only done that So it'll take a minute. Um, yeah,

[02:19:26] I think I've only done that five or six times ever before,

[02:19:30] uh,

[02:19:31] this one and like three of them were this week in practice.

[02:19:35] Um,

[02:19:35] so I'm very happy

[02:19:36] I got that,

[02:19:37] that had some

[02:19:37] very close calls

[02:19:38] but that was

[02:19:40] a tense final boss

[02:19:43] and the captain

[02:19:44] boss was

[02:19:44] very intense too.

[02:19:46] Hey Joe,

[02:19:46] really quick,

[02:19:47] what's your PB? 3410 is the record so... Oh it's close!

[02:19:52] Getting a 30 if getting a 34 deathless is very very hard um so that's a very good run.

[02:20:04] Yeah, I think my PB got like

[02:20:07] a couple more of the audio bugs and had maybe

[02:20:09] a better fight or something on a boss.

[02:20:12] Which is really the only way to save time.

[02:20:14] The nice thing about the credits

[02:20:15] in this game is you actually get to see all the enemies

[02:20:17] in detail, you get to see what they all look like

[02:20:20] because you couldn't really tell

[02:20:22] while the game was going on.

[02:20:25] It's just so fast.

[02:20:26] Yeah,

[02:20:27] but yeah thanks to GDQ for letting me run this game.

[02:20:32] I've submitted this a few times.

[02:20:35] I thought it would be a perfect silly block game because it's kind of a goofy

[02:20:39] game, but it's a hard game goofy game. But it's

[02:20:40] a hard game to do in a marathon

[02:20:43] because it's very easy

[02:20:45] to die, so the fact that I got

[02:20:47] through without dying is...

[02:20:48] I'm very happy with that.

[02:20:51] Like, I was holding it at the end there

[02:20:53] that was that was something i'm glad everyone's here and the game ends in a

[02:20:56] very wholesome message here and the game says have a nice day

[02:21:01] so have a nice day.

[02:21:02] Have a nice day everyone.

[02:21:06] So let's see where this score is going to end up.

[02:21:07] We're going to get a high score here.

[02:21:15] Now we're going to go... I pressed X even though this is a J game. Oops that's- alright I typed it. Hold on, I can fix it.

[02:21:18] Oh I didn't guess you could.

[02:21:19] I did not know you could fix it? Alright hold on.

[02:21:21] Well now I know! I was looking gqd but gt yeah there

[02:21:26] we go thank you number three joe number three without ron so thanks uh thanks again for having me.

[02:21:36] Thanks to Rick Dysus

[02:21:37] for helping with some of the commentary

[02:21:39] because this is a game that's hard

[02:21:40] to play and talk at the same time

[02:21:42] and hope you guys enjoyed

[02:22:56] Stay back!

[02:22:58] I'll show you guys one gimmick real quick before we start off with the game.

[02:23:00] Are you saying that you were in a mad panic?

[02:23:02] I wasn't in a bad panic, maybe even a coaster.

[02:23:05] I like how in this game...

[02:23:07] Okay if i could actually do this real quick

[02:23:09] There ya go!

[02:23:12] The further I get...

[02:23:15] the nearer I get.

[02:23:18] What is this game?

[02:23:19] It is going to be a trip!

[02:23:21] I wanna mention, by the way,

[02:23:22] Drew told me and Starwin to literally not watch anything about this run.

[02:23:25] And I didn't.

[02:23:26] This was the first time seeing it.

[02:23:27] He just told me dress American and now I'm here.

[02:23:29] Oh yeah you guys are dressed up hold on give me a second

[02:23:35] i don't know what this man is doing okay Yeah! Woo!

[02:23:43] That's true.

[02:23:45] Alright, score-riding,

[02:23:47] can you tell me who won the bid war?

[02:23:49] I am so incredibly

[02:23:51] thrilled to say Rossi won the beer.

[02:23:53] Rossi won!

[02:23:54] The bear.

[02:23:56] The bear?

[02:23:57] The bear.

[02:23:58] Woo!

[02:24:01] We're going to play through all of the levels. We're gonna play through all the levels time starts three

[02:24:05] two one

[02:24:08] All right, so there's lore for this if you do not know there's war yeah

[02:24:13] I thought that our muscles were marching actually steals protein shakes There's war? Yeah, so...

[02:24:18] A thief actually steals protein shakes and we are just gonna take it back.

[02:24:20] Protein shakes?!

[02:24:23] And the gist of this game is to do all these

[02:24:34] this game is literally posing through We just have to mess about- You- you- There we go.

[02:24:35] This game is literally posing through walls!

[02:24:37] Well, Starwin are you posing?

[02:24:38] I am!

[02:24:39] You're gonna miss it!

[02:24:40] It'll get ya!

[02:24:41] Also, I'm not saying for the audience, if you see a banana peel like this, just go

[02:24:45] wheeeee! Ready? Whee! heel like this just go weee ready

[02:24:53] uh i only have to do it like this and that's about it this This is how I play in the game, so it's just pointing up... down...

[02:24:59] Here comes another!

[02:25:02] Dude they're just eating the wall.

[02:25:05] But yeah, if you ever...

[02:25:07] Oh wait.

[02:25:10] If you've seen Hole in the Wall or played Hole in the Wall this is like the same concept

[02:25:14] It was made by Ben Dynanko

[02:25:16] In a week

[02:25:18] I don't know why they wanted to make this game

[02:25:19] in like a week, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[02:25:20] They made this game in a week.

[02:25:22] They were supposed to put this game

[02:25:24] in arcades and then did not do that

[02:25:26] and just put it on the WiiWwear so if you ever bought this game on

[02:25:29] the weware good job it's a rare game now oh is that why we're all saying average right here

[02:26:02] everyone just wants to be chad yeah i want to be the chad you wanna do

[02:26:07] it dude i get it that's where the flex you know flex with the characters uh

[02:26:13] sporetti if you have any donations you can read them right now i do yorkie said in 50 says yo

[02:26:19] joe gdq your key here wishing you the best for an amazing run of flexing muscles

[02:26:24] and marching your way to the goal!

[02:26:27] Shout-outs to Yorkie.

[02:26:29] Yorkie is a really good person.

[02:26:32] He introduced me to this game

[02:26:33] um funny enough also banana peel floating

[02:26:39] so yeah he introduced me to this game. He said, uh,

[02:26:44] Jiro, get this game, don't ask

[02:26:46] and I played this game

[02:26:50] Alright here we go

[02:26:52] And now look where you're at.

[02:26:54] Yeah?

[02:26:55] I don't know how this happened but it does happen.

[02:26:58] I need protein.

[02:27:00] I can feel it!

[02:27:02] You need the protein shake right now.

[02:27:04] I'm getting the burn

[02:27:05] i feel like she went to the gym before this run that's a fat man doing a workout over here

[02:27:11] yeah you just have to like, mash the poses. There are like a few moments that I can

[02:27:16] like... Alright

[02:27:18] here we go. Get that alien! GET HIM!

[02:27:22] Back up! Tag him! Hogtie

[02:27:24] him! Alright who stole the protein this this time i know it's getting stolen

[02:27:27] here yeah all right person we're gonna see you i would have never guessed that

[02:27:31] it is a pepsi man guy legally distinct but he also uh he also twerks as you can tell mega pepsi

[02:27:46] dude these songs are a vibe.

[02:27:48] They ARE a vibe!

[02:27:50] So there are like three antagonists or thieves in this game

[02:27:54] Each level...

[02:27:56] Yeah, each level there's like three thieves.

[02:28:03] So this one is the fastest that I had to react to, because a lot of these poses

[02:28:07] are kind of just reactive and also

[02:28:09] uh it would juk you like so much as well yeah i noticed the alien trying to juke

[02:28:14] you a couple times yeah yeah yeah so i have to really focus on

[02:28:18] uh I have to really focus on when the last person actually goes away.

[02:28:27] Here we go, focus time for me!

[02:28:41] Alright here we go focus time for me all right here we go oh my god where did he go oh Oh my goodness. Oh no!

[02:28:47] This really is a muscle march

[02:29:11] Congratulations, Fiend.

[02:29:12] Why are they allowed to dance with us?

[02:29:14] They robbed us of protein.

[02:29:18] All right so at the end of this

[02:31:47] No, I didn't realize you get such a work out just posing.

[02:31:49] Yeah, you do.

[02:31:51] I'm literally feeling it.

[02:31:52] Why have we been matching records

[02:32:14] well Oh, that's true. I guess you need the dog pack! Drew is down here like, pose! He's like...

[02:32:16] You have a Wii mode over there though!

[02:32:18] It's the motion controls that help me.

[02:32:20] One of the poses I drew from my wall.

[02:32:22] Get him!

[02:32:24] Alright, Sauron, you're gonna have to do that on the next level

[02:32:25] you're going to run across the stage

[02:32:27] and just tackle somebody

[02:32:29] I don't think I can make it all the way over there

[02:32:31] I mean

[02:32:33] from that side of the camera to this side.

[02:32:36] Someone will come on.

[02:32:38] Just check with the router!

[02:32:39] I'll give one quick shoutout real quick.

[02:32:41] Shoutouts to UFOTechie if anyone knows UFOtechie.

[02:32:46] He ran this game back in GDQX 2019 on this level specifically,

[02:32:51] and he only did like one level.

[02:32:54] I am very happy to continue the tradition and actually show all levels, so yeah.

[02:33:00] Alright.

[02:33:01] This game is such a vibe.

[02:33:02] It IS such a vibe!

[02:33:04] Funny enough, I think like...

[02:33:07] I think like...

[02:33:12] I think like Vendai Nemco actually stole these music for some reason. I don't know why.

[02:33:14] How do they steal music?

[02:33:16] I don't know!

[02:33:17] I think it's called licensing to Joy. Maybe he was licensing, who knows?

[02:33:18] All right.

[02:33:19] You're going to hit me focusing right now.

[02:33:20] Cheryl no!

[02:33:21] Cheryl!

[02:33:22] Tell you what if you want a real workout you have to do the I'm just like, look at me. That was enough. What is it? What are you doing?

[02:33:40] I'm just like looking at the second button.

[02:33:42] Speedrun, don't worry about me!

[02:33:44] Do not look through your peripheral. You don't need to see what's going on.

[02:33:46] My peripheral?!

[02:33:48] Okay... That guy's bouncing every second by the way I put it through. Okay, hold on.

[02:33:50] That guy's bouncing every second by the way. Oh my god!

[02:33:54] Get up!

[02:33:56] I don't know if I can make it.

[02:33:59] We got one more down for the third hop. Another dance right here. I don't have enough take like that dude has.

[02:34:04] We do a donation during this dance?

[02:34:07] Yes, donate!

[02:34:08] Alright, here we go,SizeN at $5 said

[02:34:12] If you drop the protein shake during a takedown would that make it more of a shakedown?

[02:34:17] Ooh. Yay.

[02:34:20] I get it.

[02:34:22] Alright last level station.

[02:34:24] That's space station?

[02:34:25] So we're in a city...

[02:34:26] We're in space!

[02:34:28] No, we're just in space.

[02:34:29] What even am I looking at now?

[02:34:31] Oh yeah, just in space.

[02:34:37] Is that a rabbit on in space so two bunnies is like stacked on top of each other i don't know how

[02:34:39] it is what it is

[02:34:46] they stole the shake Mix or their Jackrabbits? Oh my god, Starwind!

[02:38:02] Listen Starwin you gotta take one for the team.

[02:38:05] Don't worry he lifts Sch Smuggler's Ladder.

[02:38:06] I can't do it!

[02:38:08] So I was about to say this...

[02:38:09] There is a health bar or like a stat millimeter so-

[02:38:13] Oh there we go as you could tell

[02:38:14] Noooo

[02:38:15] One of the walls

[02:38:16] So if he sets the combo at the bottom There we go, as you can tell. No! I dropped through one of the walls.

[02:38:16] So it resets the combo at the bottom left.

[02:38:20] I just realized something is the bear holding weights?

[02:38:23] Yeah, the bears holding dumbbells.

[02:38:25] Where do you think he gets the muscles from?

[02:38:27] That's absolutely monstrous.

[02:38:30] Hey, he's gotta go ahead and get that workout in! Oh so this is gonna

[02:38:32] be very hard for me so

[02:38:34] I need to concentrate right here

[02:38:36] What do you think we need the protein powder for?

[02:38:40] Here we go!

[02:38:42] That was actually a terrifying concept, I wanna mention that to you.

[02:38:46] Imagine Shredded Bear, right?

[02:38:48] I mean, I feel like we've already had a couple movies about that.

[02:38:52] Well no, that was cocaine.

[02:38:54] Shake Bear

[02:38:57] Alright here you go. Last few. Yeah! I am...

[02:40:21] do a run Yeah! Just to do a run.

[02:40:24] Yeah, just to do an 18-minute run.

[02:40:27] But yeah, thank you guys if you want to check me out.

[02:40:30] I am Juhorse and yeah,

[02:40:33] I think that's about it for my run so thank you guys yeah juho

[02:40:41] oh you're right

[02:40:43] hey guys

[02:40:56] oh Oh my gosh, thank you so much. That's not a good first sound.

[02:41:03] Well, well, well here we are. Hi everybody my name is Bystander Tim and I'm here with... Sea Average! And we're joined by our friends, Zik and this is City Bus Driver Simulator.

[02:41:13] I wasn't told before.

[02:41:16] We can pretty well jump right into it.

[02:41:19] We do need that bid war.

[02:41:27] Oh absolutely, alright so it looks like Blue Miku really slid into the lead there. Yeah!

[02:41:29] Let's go.

[02:41:33] Alright, so we are going to be picking up blue miku skin

[02:41:35] and for tech

[02:41:37] time it is going to start since we hit next after selecting level one so why do

[02:41:41] we get into it can we get a countdown for the crowd five four three two

[02:41:48] one let's go!

[02:41:51] Alright so first thing we have to do is

[02:41:53] actually start our bus

[02:41:55] but we can do that behind this menu for reasons

[02:41:59] Almost everything in this game has collision except for that bus.

[02:42:02] But like

[02:42:03] everything has like collision, collision.

[02:42:05] If you hit it, it does not move and

[02:42:07] you stop. That includes even

[02:42:09] the garbage bags on the street.

[02:42:12] So in order to find out what could possibly be,

[02:42:17] like, in those garbage bags

[02:42:19] we recruited famous science video game YouTuber, Ada

[02:42:23] to do some math for us.

[02:42:24] I think the bear back there has some math for us

[02:42:27] and yeah, the music just stops.

[02:42:29] Don't worry about it.

[02:42:30] Don't worry, don't worry about it.

[02:42:31] We're looking at math right now. Yeah, so can you please explain to us this math?

[02:42:39] Nope.

[02:42:40] Not at all.

[02:42:43] Brief explanation, basically Adaph and I crunched the numbers with

[02:42:47] the two densest materials known to man, osmium and tungsten

[02:42:52] in order for those trash bags to stop us dead in our tracks,

[02:42:56] they would have to have what?

[02:42:58] Like 79 gallons of osmium or 92.

[02:43:02] 93.1 gallons.

[02:43:03] It's a lot.

[02:43:05] These are the trash cans we're talking about if you look at my viewers

[02:43:07] I see the mess of a bus down here

[02:43:09] it's 6800 kilograms

[02:43:11] Oh quick, I gotta park sorry

[02:43:13] hold on, I got to park.

[02:43:16] I'm throwing... That is not how you park.

[02:43:17] Tim, that's not correct.

[02:43:19] I don't know.

[02:43:19] I got credit for it.

[02:43:21] Passing grade right here.

[02:43:23] All right.

[02:43:24] Now, I'm going to move on to level... There's on to music again yeah there's music

[02:43:29] yeah and now it's gone

[02:43:32] oh my god so Not a game.

[02:43:38] Believe it or not,

[02:43:40] we actually found tech in this game this week.

[02:43:42] Besides the fact that

[02:43:43] we have an entire story about trying to

[02:43:45] find out how to unlock all the skins.

[02:43:48] If you notice on this map here, we have two waypoints up.

[02:43:52] Normally you're supposed to go in sequential order but both of the waypoints are up

[02:43:56] so we're just going ahead and go to the second waypoint that's available.

[02:44:00] And the game is just good to give us credit for all the bus stops like, oh yeah,

[02:44:05] The people got off that definitely got on the bus so you just abandoned those

[02:44:10] People kidnapped the people

[02:44:17] oh yeah that's your eye box looks good yeah all point oh get out get out of the way! Oh no!

[02:44:20] The rival bus drivers are out.

[02:44:22] No, no!

[02:44:24] Stop!

[02:44:28] See this is your chance in the lead the ai in the game uh it does not care about you

[02:44:34] or really any other vehicle uh it just will do what it wants i'm gonna go

[02:44:40] this way.

[02:44:40] Can the AI

[02:44:41] go in reverse?

[02:44:42] No,

[02:44:43] it cannot.

[02:44:46] Bolding you

[02:44:47] to assume

[02:44:47] there's something

[02:44:48] intelligent

[02:44:49] driving these cars.

[02:44:53] Ooh, I almost hit the restart button there. Oh, that would have been bad!

[02:44:55] I enjoy that it doesn't pick

[02:44:56] the next level for you.

[02:44:58] No, it doesn't.

[02:44:59] Next is...

[02:45:00] Next,

[02:45:01] you're gonna go pick the next level, not next year.

[02:45:04] Let's go to the next level.

[02:45:07] The other level that we found that we can just only do

[02:45:10] the last bus stop.

[02:45:11] So we're gonna... Enjoy

[02:45:13] the speed tech while it lasts. It doesn't

[02:45:15] work in any other level except for these

[02:45:17] two because all

[02:45:19] the waypoints are just up for that.

[02:45:22] I swear. Bus? Bus? Bus? Bus? just up for that i swear bus but

[02:45:26] oh he is stopping oh boy okay

[02:45:30] all right lock in come on get through it lock in

[02:45:39] if you ever want a game no no no oh the car doesn't like the bus i yeah i would assume that's how the road works

[02:45:48] it sounds like all boohoo you didn't get three buses blocking here

[02:45:52] no that that's coming later.

[02:45:59] I already feel it in my bones the amount of road rage I'm about to unleash on this game!

[02:46:05] So B, you've seen those little yellow markers on the map? How do you think they're made? Like, the little yellow markers telling us

[02:46:07] where we're supposed to be going?

[02:46:09] I don't know...I could not possibly

[02:46:11] guess with this game.

[02:46:13] Alright, well that's fair.

[02:46:15] Here, I'll just show you real quick.

[02:46:17] I would imagine it's just like a little yellow dot on the map, right?

[02:46:22] You know, you would think that.

[02:46:24] But as soon as we get to this – not this first one but the second bus stop

[02:46:28] i have a little treat for you hello dot yeah

[02:46:33] I'm only a little bit behind, only a little bit

[02:46:37] The passengers are waiting.

[02:46:39] Oh, that texture looks good!

[02:46:41] Yeah, there's a whole lot of Z fighting

[02:46:43] you can definitely see here

[02:46:45] I definitely started that joke

[02:46:47] a little early so that's my apologies.

[02:46:49] Why are some of the yellow dots way bigger than others?

[02:46:53] Well, I think there is also...I think it might be related to the thing I'm about to show you

[02:46:57] So again, yellow dot on map, you'd think oh it's probably a dot

[02:47:00] on the map right what if i told you that instead it's a big yellow orb in the sky

[02:47:06] or

[02:47:11] oh boy this video game. So it's the bus coming for you.

[02:47:14] So how many people play this game? Us?

[02:47:16] Yeah.

[02:47:18] We go- No!

[02:47:20] Oh my god! Oh yeah, yeah, yeah! We got... No!

[02:47:21] Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[02:47:23] Stocks are up

[02:47:25] baby.

[02:47:27] I don't see how to get past this though.

[02:47:29] Just drive through the trash bins what if you're in the tungsten filled trash bins i'm gonna

[02:47:35] be going backwards now that's the worst stay waiting baby stay winning that's not a parking job Stay winning, baby. Stay winning.

[02:47:44] That's not a parking job.

[02:47:47] Now there's a third bus?

[02:47:51] What is happening over there?

[02:47:53] Okay, well I guess I'm going this way. We love throwing!

[02:47:57] I can't wait to find a barrier

[02:47:59] over here.

[02:48:01] Oh my gosh The live rerouting

[02:48:03] You don't get improv like this

[02:48:06] On anywhere but GDQ

[02:48:08] These runners have been practicing for hours

[02:48:09] Unfortunately I think they have

[02:48:12] No Unfortunately, I think they have.

[02:48:23] Sporadic? Why don't we lighten the mood with some donations?

[02:48:25] I would be absolutely thrilled to

[02:48:26] I have a $25 donation

[02:48:29] here from them who says

[02:48:30] public trans rights

[02:48:32] yeah

[02:48:34] no, no, no No, no,

[02:48:36] no, NO!

[02:48:40] Okay.

[02:48:42] So fun thing about this game

[02:48:44] is that on every computer it's a little different so uh you may

[02:48:50] notice that the audio is like stopping and then coming. There's a key on that?

[02:48:56] Oh!

[02:49:01] You just ruined that guy's day.

[02:49:03] We're good.

[02:49:04] Okay.

[02:49:05] So...

[02:49:06] You're good we're good okay so you're good

[02:49:08] uh so anyway yeah it's different on every pc

[02:49:11] uh on this could have been awful there could be

[02:49:14] uh tim always experiences i think about

[02:49:17] what we're getting with the audio right now.

[02:49:19] On both of my computers,

[02:49:21] The audio stops at the very first bus stop

[02:49:23] And then never comes back

[02:49:25] Not even in the midis or anything

[02:49:27] So that's super fun!

[02:49:28] That's cool.

[02:49:29] Also, Tim every once in a while might press the space bar.

[02:49:32] I'm afraid of the spacebar because every single bus stop it does something different.

[02:49:37] So sometimes it is a handbrake, thank you bus

[02:49:40] thank you, thank you please move

[02:49:41] Sometimes it's a handbrake

[02:49:44] sometimes it honks your horn

[02:49:45] I got a break right now

[02:49:48] Sometimes it changes the camera angle to be super

[02:49:51] cinematic.

[02:49:53] True light fiction.

[02:49:55] The game is never in dark,

[02:49:57] so we have lights.

[02:49:58] Bright lights at that.

[02:50:00] Sometimes it lets you turn on your tilt controls.

[02:50:03] Yeah, look.

[02:50:04] Tilt controls.

[02:50:04] What do you mean?

[02:50:08] I'm a thorough Wii U.

[02:50:10] No, definitely not Wii U.

[02:50:12] That is definitely a phone where this came from.

[02:50:17] I'll turn on tilt controls maybe.

[02:50:19] There we go.

[02:50:20] Oh yes, the horn.

[02:50:21] Yeah.

[02:50:23] Nope, that's just not going away now. Okay.

[02:50:24] So you're gonna wait for Space Force to horn

[02:50:27] right now?

[02:50:29] Oh boy.

[02:50:31] Imagine trying to break it and it just lays on the horn.

[02:50:34] Yeah, it lays on the horn

[02:50:35] and keeps going.

[02:50:36] Sometimes it pauses the game. That one's fun.

[02:50:38] I like that your tires

[02:50:41] are just smoking.

[02:50:43] Yeah, it was still going as we were parking.

[02:50:48] So Tim is heading into the hardest level now

[02:50:51] because it's a level that we actually do not at all in the intended like

[02:50:55] routing that the game wants you to do what do you mean

[02:51:02] and we're not going to take it oh Oh yeah, y'all can't see this

[02:51:05] these maps they have open. They have

[02:51:07] serious notes for this game. I don't know

[02:51:09] what I'm looking at.

[02:51:11] This is a serious video.

[02:51:13] All your passengers are dead. I was gonna say

[02:51:16] And their passengers and their passengers

[02:51:18] Get this

[02:51:19] No

[02:51:21] Lock in

[02:51:24] Just lock in, bud.

[02:51:26] Lock in!

[02:51:29] Oh yeah, you get the arrow with like

[02:51:31] whatever this means. There's words

[02:51:33] on there and they're not happy.

[02:51:34] I did so much trash talking before this.

[02:51:37] Well because I had like the worst thing to happen to me in

[02:51:41] video games during practice and then you were just

[02:51:45] oh, I used a new time save and got a world record.

[02:51:49] But now Tim's coming up on some barricades because we're going not in

[02:51:53] the direction it wants us to go so he can try and shoot a gap.

[02:51:56] Yeah, try I did!

[02:52:02] So I have a question. Why are there two Miku skins?

[02:52:05] That's a great question.

[02:52:07] Purple just wasn't good enough, I guess.

[02:52:10] Yeah?

[02:52:13] That was

[02:52:13] one of the most shell-shocking things

[02:52:15] I think about playing a video game. It's just like

[02:52:17] oh cool, there are buskins why is Hatsune Miku on them?

[02:52:21] This one is literally the default skin so by default they're just like Miku

[02:52:26] Yeah and the game is infinitely better for it i'm also curious why every bus stop is just tomatoes

[02:52:34] um well i mean that'd be a great answer if i knew where we were

[02:52:39] this this this is like,

[02:52:41] I guess,

[02:52:42] where do people drive

[02:52:43] like this?

[02:52:44] Where do people

[02:52:44] drive in Tomato Town?

[02:52:46] No!

[02:52:46] Oh, yeah.

[02:52:49] We're fine.

[02:52:50] I like that you can see it coming.

[02:52:52] You're like, well this is happening.

[02:52:54] I just regular crashed

[02:52:56] I saw you

[02:52:58] screaming turned over here

[02:53:00] and just whirved into a sign.

[02:53:03] These people just watch you crash into a bus like,

[02:53:06] I'll get on that bus!

[02:53:09] Yeah!

[02:53:11] What are we doing? What are we doing?

[02:53:12] I still don't know.

[02:53:15] We're like, what level are we on? 7?

[02:53:18] Where did life go wrong that

[02:53:21] we're here?

[02:53:27] See, I got this in practice. You are stuck!

[02:53:29] No no no, we got this.

[02:53:31] Are you?

[02:53:33] Listen... You just need to perfectly back up.

[02:53:37] Easy.

[02:53:41] Barely an inconvenience.

[02:53:45] Okay. Tim, I'm going to shut the laptop so you don't have

[02:53:47] the map anymore.

[02:53:51] We talked...I guess we could talk

[02:53:53] about how we found this game because...

[02:53:55] How did you find it?

[02:53:57] How much did you pay for this game?

[02:53:59] How much did I pay for this game?

[02:54:02] Nope, wait. I'm going the wrong way.

[02:54:03] I forgot where I needed to go.

[02:54:04] Besides the blood sweat and tears uh

[02:54:07] no last summer last steam summer sale because if you've been watching gdqs

[02:54:12] i've been in like this time slot for a while of just like... Can I go to the finish here?

[02:54:17] You've got it!

[02:54:19] Of just, like, quirky indie games that I found.

[02:54:21] And I went, like, okay.

[02:54:24] I went, oh,

[02:54:26] I have $1. cents in my Steam wallet.

[02:54:29] Find me a bad video game and I'll speed run it.

[02:54:33] And then Ivan who's currently taking our photos, shoutouts to photo volunteers right now

[02:54:42] Went here you go and you know i was really struck by the steam page which just straight up says the goal is to be the best city bus driver simulator that you can be.

[02:54:51] It's called

[02:54:52] to you.

[02:54:53] It's poetry,

[02:54:54] and by that I mean what is wrong with me?

[02:54:57] Steam has a way of once

[02:54:58] you get one bad game,

[02:55:00] it never stops recommending the worst games possible.

[02:55:04] You never escape it. I mean what are we talking about?

[02:55:08] This is a gem of a video game.

[02:55:11] I miss the music.

[02:55:17] Orb, orb, orb!

[02:55:21] Sporadic why don't we get another donation? It will save us.

[02:55:23] Alright well

[02:55:25] Led Chef sent in $100

[02:55:27] and says remember who taught you how to drive

[02:55:29] I am one proud dad and happy

[02:55:33] To support this amazing foundation

[02:55:35] And my super son

[02:55:37] Thanks, Dad

[02:55:41] Not all of your dads it's my bad

[02:55:45] we have time for more yeah let's go for it all right we got this 50

[02:55:49] dollar nation that says see don't look. There's a bus on your right.

[02:55:52] Left.

[02:55:54] That one was from this person you may know

[02:55:55] bystander Tim.

[02:55:57] Oh.

[02:56:00] The nod.

[02:56:02] Might be worse.

[02:56:04] Don't donate and drive

[02:56:12] i was so i was so, I was so

[02:56:14] dis-moralized by that

[02:56:15] practice round

[02:56:16] that um

[02:56:17] I'm like in the back

[02:56:18] going

[02:56:19] I need

[02:56:20] an edge

[02:56:21] and then

[02:56:22] the game just gave me

[02:56:23] three buses

[02:56:24] in a row And he had to gave me three buses.

[02:56:25] Three buses!

[02:56:28] We are on,

[02:56:29] or at least I'm on level 8.

[02:56:30] I don't know where C is anymore,

[02:56:31] I'll be perfectly honest.

[02:56:32] Oh no, the bus!

[02:56:36] We got a good bus drift in. Some multi-lane drifting over here.

[02:56:38] But there is like,

[02:56:40] a structure to this game for some whatever

[02:56:42] reason there are 10 levels and slowly

[02:56:44] they started adding more bus bus stops. And level

[02:56:47] 8 is the peak of

[02:56:49] that with four individual bus

[02:56:51] stops before you park. So

[02:56:53] this is definitely the longest level

[02:56:55] in the game. And if traffic doesn't play nice he

[02:56:58] definitely has an opportunity to catch up here yeah but she just got lost No! No! Oh my god.

[02:57:07] Don't look now, there's a bus on your right.

[02:57:10] Ah yeah.

[02:57:11] Oh no I donated $50 for charity and am eating my words.

[02:57:14] I'm going to the finish.

[02:57:15] Okay.

[02:57:16] I don't know what you're talking about.

[02:57:17] I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh no, I donated $50 for charity and am eating my words.

[02:57:19] I am going to the finish.

[02:57:20] Okay.

[02:57:21] Cool, cool, cool.

[02:57:22] Oh, this buzz.

[02:57:24] Oh.

[02:57:24] Yeah, that's the one thing is that we talked about there being no pathing.

[02:57:28] The game will occasionally spawn barricades

[02:57:29] in the way, and we saw a little bit of that in level 6.

[02:57:32] Traffic doesn't like that because

[02:57:33] they're just going to be like, well I guess I'm stuck here

[02:57:35] and plant their feet

[02:57:37] and find out what it will. I don't know what what to do there's a barricade in front of me

[02:57:44] all i know is that i was told i'm not allowed to see nine and ten but

[02:57:48] level nine and 10 before this.

[02:57:50] I don't know what's about to happen.

[02:57:52] You are allowed now because we are doing the run.

[02:57:57] Wake up bear.

[02:57:59] We have bus game to bear. We have we have bus game to watch

[02:58:02] We can't sleep you can't sleep

[02:58:08] No, why don't we get another donation I I feel like we're already tired of all the puns.

[02:58:15] Sure thing, Ivan sent in $25 and says oh no!

[02:58:19] Oh no...

[02:58:21] I'm so sorry.

[02:58:26] We have time for one more?

[02:58:27] Let's go for it.

[02:58:30] All right, the transit authority sent in $25 says we might not have gotten Hatsune and half-life but here at the city bus authority

[02:58:35] We haven't covered good luck to both of our drivers. Remember traffic lights are just a suggestion

[02:58:44] From the transit authority, everyone.

[02:58:46] This city is a nightmare.

[02:58:50] Is this the kind of city like Batman would be in?

[02:58:55] Does traffic crime batman

[02:59:04] oh my god let's just drove off the road okay so i can catch up. Here's an idea...

[02:59:06] I'm trying to see where this bus is going,

[02:59:08] and I don't think that's any language.

[02:59:14] Oh cool the music's back.

[02:59:20] Now it's gone. There it goes.

[02:59:24] This looks pretty normal. So, just like we had with the giant orange orb

[02:59:29] on the waypoint...

[02:59:32] The second bus stop

[02:59:33] in both... I think it's both

[02:59:34] 9 and 10 is the one to watch out for.

[02:59:37] Because there's some very, very unique situations.

[02:59:42] Is Batman in there?

[02:59:43] Batman's not there.

[02:59:44] Oh my gosh!

[02:59:46] What is the...

[02:59:48] what is the hitbox of that box?

[02:59:52] He's like, I wanna be a part of this.

[02:59:54] No, they travel in packs

[02:59:58] No, they travel in packs. No, they

[02:59:59] travel in packs and they collide together.

[03:00:06] Oh my gosh.

[03:00:09] What the hell? Did you just drive through a bus stop?

[03:00:11] No! Cheater.

[03:00:15] What do you mean cheater, I have to back up now.

[03:00:17] Cheat, beep, beep.

[03:00:24] Thank you so much crowd

[03:00:26] by the way.

[03:00:31] So is there a way to fail these levels? Yes!

[03:00:33] Oh, okay so see this timer at the top?

[03:00:35] Okay, so see how it's counting up?

[03:00:37] You would think yeah that's just like a timer

[03:00:39] to see how fast you complete the level.

[03:00:41] Wrong!

[03:00:42] What? No!

[03:00:43] That is your timer for failing the level

[03:00:45] because you can fail the level if you take too long

[03:00:47] but you don't know how long that is

[03:00:50] because the timer counts up instead of down

[03:00:51] i just fail at some point yeah so what was that about the counter

[03:00:56] yeah okay goodbye

[03:00:59] i just like that the timer just rarely decides how many milliseconds.

[03:01:03] It's flickering.

[03:01:04] Sometimes you get one, you get three sometimes.

[03:01:06] It's like, you know...

[03:01:07] Hey, don't talk smack about the counter.

[03:01:10] Don't make me tap the sign

[03:01:15] i understood that reference wait wait no

[03:01:18] wait wait wait no no no i'm throwing

[03:01:22] i'm throwing how are you getting lost? It's a parking lot.

[03:01:26] You have notes!

[03:01:28] You don't need notes!

[03:01:30] I also got

[03:01:31] a little lost.

[03:01:33] I completely... Like like disassociated for half a second with the ghost bus stop appear and

[03:01:39] just completely forgot where it was.

[03:01:42] I was gonna ask how you get lost but but everything looks the same. What is happening?

[03:01:46] Conveniently me going the wrong way

[03:01:51] All right

[03:01:53] By the way said yeah in case you missed it before i like no this is fine no it's

[03:01:58] a second one yeah the second stop by the way just so just so time is clear um

[03:02:03] time is going to come up when we lose control at the final parking stop in

[03:02:07] the next level we've already lost control

[03:02:10] we lost control of moe we press start game tim why are you up at five

[03:02:14] in the morning playing a bus game?

[03:02:17] Because I've lost control of my life.

[03:02:21] So, you guys are going to keep grinding for world record after this, right?

[03:02:24] I already have it. It's fine.

[03:02:26] When is the DLC coming out for this?

[03:02:28] When is the DLC...

[03:02:32] Nobody's there!

[03:02:36] That was one thing we found We found so many alternative bus driver simulators, just looking up stuff. I still want to play the $200 ones though.

[03:02:49] Why is it $200 won't sell. Why is it $200?

[03:02:52] That's a great question!

[03:02:54] You'll be able to find out next year.

[03:02:57] This game is currently on sale for I think 49 cents. It's 49 cents whenever it is on sale

[03:03:07] You can play right now and get those zero concurrent players up

[03:03:14] that's two right now well we're not playing on steam so oh shoot

[03:03:18] gotta get those numbers up.

[03:03:20] Donate to Buy Tim the $200 bus game.

[03:03:24] Please, instead donate

[03:03:25] to the charity please?

[03:03:28] Please?

[03:03:30] Donate to get the charity,

[03:03:41] Nice bus.

[03:03:43] Thanks Evan. Thanks Evan. I feel like that's a Tommy Vercetti vibe,

[03:03:45] Tommy Vercetti just walks in

[03:03:47] mmmm nice bus

[03:03:53] Alright, I'm also on the last level All right.

[03:03:55] I'm also on the last level now, so... It's neck and neck.

[03:03:57] They're all at the same level.

[03:03:59] One crash can decide it.

[03:04:01] If Tim's keyboard disconnects for an entire minute...

[03:04:05] I mean, his space bar could do magical things

[03:04:06] apparently. It could.

[03:04:08] I wish it didn't.

[03:04:13] Let's see, what is it doing right now?

[03:04:15] It's a brick. Cool!

[03:04:17] Nice!

[03:04:19] If you're not a coward

[03:04:21] You'll do the rest of the level in cinematic mode

[03:04:27] He's really trying let's say let's hear the final drive and cinematic mode the final drive that's right off into the sunset

[03:04:33] it's called the final drive because you're like an unsung no well i've heard

[03:04:37] i've heard we have one more passenger to pick up in what direction oh my god where are you Where are they going?

[03:04:49] It's not the bus!

[03:04:52] Would you get on that bus?

[03:04:57] Alright, as promised.

[03:05:02] Cinematic.

[03:05:03] Feed fiction!

[03:05:04] Feed fiction!

[03:05:07] How is that useful in any way? Fiction.

[03:05:09] How is that useful in any way?

[03:05:11] It's a driving montage.

[03:05:13] Okay, okay, okay. I'm gonna beef this so hard.

[03:05:22] Sorry, we're just giving you serious time right now.

[03:05:26] Serious time for city bus drivers

[03:05:31] as we haven't already been giggling the entire time so it's not a serious block

[03:05:41] the most Time. Woo! The most prestigious race victory known to man.

[03:05:45] Tim, how are you feeling right now?

[03:05:48] Clapping it up.

[03:05:49] Clapping it up for an audience of one.

[03:05:54] I've heard we have

[03:05:55] one more passenger to pick up?

[03:05:56] I will be setting up

[03:05:58] a little special thing

[03:05:59] as soon as he finishes

[03:06:00] to show off.

[03:06:01] Yeah, we really will ride off into the sunset together for this right now.

[03:06:05] We are going to do that for sure! It's the most ominous thing I've ever heard.

[03:06:09] See how you feel about losing the most ominous thing I've ever heard. See, how do you feel about losing the most...

[03:06:14] On the biggest stage ever?

[03:06:16] The biggest stage that City Buster

[03:06:18] has received in his life.

[03:06:20] His stakes were really high. I cannot believe after all of the trash talk that three

[03:06:24] buses and a trench coat decided oh by the way oh that's time. Okay so um...

[03:06:32] Are we bosses in a trench?

[03:06:33] If you look at Tim's POV right now, we found this little winner.

[03:06:38] Uh, we're gonna go-

[03:06:39] The stumps aren't real.

[03:06:40] We're just gonna go-

[03:06:41] The stumps?

[03:06:42] No! We're gonna go... The stomps aren't real.

[03:06:44] No!

[03:06:46] There we go!

[03:06:50] Why is there a city under there?

[03:06:52] It's Atlantis! It's Atlant-out Atlantis!

[03:06:55] Oh my goodness. While I drive over

[03:06:57] to Atlantis... See, you can't get out of the parking lot

[03:06:59] I know, I can't get out of the parking lot. It's all over

[03:08:17] Thank you so

[03:08:18] much by Sandra Tim timid C average.

[03:08:22] Friends, do you see that thing

[03:08:24] in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen?

[03:08:26] That is your fault.

[03:08:28] Thank you for your generous donations.

[03:08:31] We are doing a specific game called Leaf Blower I'm going to go ahead and play the game. I don't know if it's your fault

[03:08:33] . Thank you for your generous

[03:08:35] donations.

[03:08:37] We are doing a specific game

[03:08:39] called leaf blower man this game blows we're going with We'll just... Yeah, y'all are awesome. Anyway if you want a quick synopsis of what

[03:08:43] you're getting into? Okay!

[03:08:46] In a world where leaves fall from trees.

[03:08:52] Only one man can push them

[03:08:54] from one end of the driveway to the other.

[03:08:57] You are that man.

[03:08:59] Or woman.

[03:09:01] Or non-binary

[03:09:03] or...

[03:09:06] Let's try this again. But wait, there's more.

[03:09:19] Ah, there we go! Much better. Anyway, we don't get paid by word count so let's begin this adventure!

[03:09:28] So that's what you're getting into? I'm Oscar 424...

[03:09:33] Hi, I'm dangerous.

[03:09:35] Wonderful couch commentary here.

[03:09:38] We have a bid war we need to officially find out who is winning today.

[03:09:45] Well, oh my gosh! Another upset? It's

[03:09:47] Rave Girl! Oh!

[03:09:49] At the last moment. Nice!

[03:09:51] Thank you very much everybody.

[03:09:53] Thank you for that snipe.

[03:09:55] So,

[03:09:58] I'm actually going to be a little quiet because when you put the two

[03:10:00] hardest tricks in the game

[03:10:01] as the first two things you do in the game

[03:10:04] that's a thing. So as soon

[03:10:07] as we start let Dane talk for hot second but

[03:10:11] We are ready to go in 5 4 3

[03:10:15] 2 1 Go! three two one go all righty so the moment we load in we are going to immediately not do our job of

[03:10:24] blowing leaves and we are going to instead jump onto this little bush, try

[03:10:28] to use the ramp collision off of this bush to get on the roof of this house

[03:10:32] and then do another jump. Come on! So close.

[03:10:37] These are the two hardest things in

[03:10:39] the run luckily they're one second into the run so no big deal if you don't get a first try

[03:10:44] uh but yeah this is uh going to be be the first of

[03:10:49] a couple of times where we don't actually

[03:10:51] do our job of blowing leaves, and we're going to instead

[03:10:53] skip everything.

[03:10:55] Oh, that's it? That's a good one.

[03:10:57] So we are now on top of the picket fence and we're going to get over to the very bottom

[03:11:03] of the screen, and now Oscar is gonna switch to keyboard and just hold down the right button

[03:11:06] and pass by all these houses that have leaves in the driveway.

[03:11:12] Look, I upped my rates and they didn't pay them.

[03:11:15] It's fine.

[03:11:16] We can't even tell the story about blowing leaves into the pool

[03:11:19] No.

[03:11:20] And how it's faster. But

[03:11:20] we get ads. We do get ads. So friends,

[03:11:25] ads.

[03:11:29] ...

[03:11:30] ... honey try it i'm the premier solution for anonymizing all of your internet Also, we're not hitting the skit bad. Nope. I don't need to be allowed in the bar.

[03:11:52] I've never been bombed with the ad.

[03:11:55] I need this.

[03:12:00] This is what your donations went toward, by the way.

[03:12:03] Yep! So the ads... Actually no, before we talk about ads

[03:12:06] Chat, friends here, can we pop off for

[03:12:09] What we like to call intended leaf blowing strats

[03:12:12] Wooo! Yeah! We are doing our job. This is the only time we're going to do this.

[03:12:14] This is the only time.

[03:12:16] We were doing the intended leaf blowing and we're done.

[03:12:19] Nice.

[03:12:21] All right, now we have a boss fight.

[03:12:24] We have a boss fight now we have a boss fight

[03:12:26] we have a boss fight right here so we have to blow bombs

[03:12:30] back into the turret oh wait we have to blow them back in

[03:12:33] turret well we're supposed to or you could do this I guess.

[03:12:37] What was that?

[03:12:38] I didn't know we had to actually use

[03:12:40] a leaf blower. You don't have to

[03:12:42] you just won so there you go.

[03:12:44] Oh! Cool yeah That's the boss boss fight okay i guess we can keep going

[03:12:48] they can't keep going how about another ad let's get into that yeah let's get another head

[03:12:53] and show you something that i think very few people in today's world can hope of achieving.

[03:12:58] And that is a 400 square foot inner city studio apartment for less than half what you make in wages.

[03:13:05] Wow!

[03:13:08] You too, can learn how to achieve this kind of life. make in wages. Wow! Sign up now, Chad.

[03:13:16] Ooh! Oooh!

[03:13:21] That's impressive. Ha ha ha! I left it called Tax Pro.

[03:13:37] This isn't Turnip Boy.

[03:13:38] So anyways,

[03:13:41] the intended strap for this place is we're supposed to blow all the money into the circle because they just robbed a bank, of course.

[03:13:43] I'm just going to blow off his toupee.

[03:13:45] So we're going to instead jump on this guy's head and jump over a trigger for that.

[03:13:50] Then we're going to do the same thing here.

[03:13:51] That's not toupee, though.

[03:13:52] It's a bush.

[03:13:53] Well...

[03:13:53] Oh!

[03:13:55] Oh!

[03:13:55] I know what I want to do.

[03:13:56] I know what I want to do.

[03:13:57] I want to go to space.

[03:13:58] You want to go to space?

[03:13:58] Yeah, I want to go to space.

[03:13:59] I guess we can go to space. I don't go to space. Do you really want to? I go to space? Yeah, I'll go to space. I guess we can go to space.

[03:14:00] I don't go to space.

[03:14:01] But you really want to.

[03:14:02] I go to space!

[03:14:03] Oh good!

[03:14:04] Yeah!

[03:14:05] Alright so we're gonna do that boss fight again.

[03:14:06] Oh this one's moving.

[03:14:07] Oh yeah this one is moving.

[03:14:08] No no come back, come back, come back!

[03:14:09] Come back!

[03:14:10] Okay that was fine. You're my friend. You're my friend. Oh yeah, this one is moving. No no no! Come back come back! Oh oh oh oh!

[03:14:11] Come back!

[03:14:12] Okay that was fine.

[03:14:13] You're my friend...

[03:14:14] I think?

[03:14:15] Maybe?

[03:14:16] Oh.

[03:14:17] Hey that's the boss fight.

[03:14:18] I broke the fringe.

[03:14:19] You broke the fringe.

[03:14:21] Anyway, uh I want you to meet mayor of world hello leafler person

[03:14:26] i am mayor of world as you know everyone hates you oh oh anyway i don't care about what you

[03:14:31] have to say now.

[03:14:32] It's a speedrun still we have to skip the rest of the dialogue.

[03:14:35] Oh this is an ad! By the way, this is the only actual

[03:14:38] ad in the game. So mention the ads that

[03:14:41] they put back into the game. game developer Kubas are who again any dev single?

[03:14:46] May they supply of the game

[03:14:50] Basically his descent into capitalism effectively, but this is another game that he's made

[03:14:54] if you ever heard of Rainier Parade.

[03:14:56] I like that snow or snow but different

[03:14:58] because it's not rain. It's snow but

[03:15:00] different.

[03:15:02] Shout out to Cubizar.

[03:15:04] He is so cool and he has been so excited with everyone's speedrun in this game.

[03:15:12] We almost got him for the couch but unfortunately schedules didn't work out.

[03:15:16] He sounds a little upset right now.

[03:15:18] That might be a problem.

[03:15:20] Will that come back to bite us later on?

[03:15:22] No.

[03:15:24] Okay, that's fine. So we're going to go what I originally liked to call

[03:15:27] Leely Distinct Area 51.

[03:15:30] Somebody in HN for a previous run did this

[03:15:32] and it was Place 15.

[03:15:34] So this is Place 15.

[03:15:35] This is Place 15, yeah.

[03:15:35] Now, I'm going to run into a cabinet because

[03:15:37] I don't know what the straight line is but

[03:15:39] I will warn people there's a chance we are

[03:15:42] going to get an audio glitch.

[03:15:44] Do you hear this very triumphant music? we get the audio glitch you're going to hear

[03:15:49] this for the rest of the game so couch so this will find out as soon as this cutscene ends if the music ends we are safe

[03:16:03] if it doesn't anyway we're going to space uh this is the thing and

[03:16:14] oh no audio glitch if the audio glitch happened you'd be hearing that triumphant little ditty until we restarted

[03:16:23] the game.

[03:16:24] Is he okay?

[03:16:25] He's okay.

[03:16:26] Does he need his knickers?

[03:16:27] I don't know.

[03:16:28] I'm not sure what to do with him.

[03:16:29] I think it's a good idea for him to just go back and play. Yeah. I mean, he's got some pretty cool stuff going on in there. Is he okay? He's okay.

[03:16:31] Does he need his knickers?

[03:16:35] Uh...

[03:16:37] Kupuzor, are you okay bud?

[03:16:40] I have questions.

[03:16:42] I have a lot of questions...

[03:16:48] He's fine!

[03:16:58] See he's fine see he's fine yeah nothing bad is gonna happen or anything

[03:17:01] anyway who we are um in space. Yes.

[03:17:02] I'll let Dane talk during this part because this is not easy.

[03:17:04] This is the asteroid section.

[03:17:06] Fun fact, you actually don't see this

[03:17:08] in the ad-free version.

[03:17:10] You just get a blank white hallway

[03:17:12] with a bunch of boxes on it.

[03:17:13] Now the problem is that if she gets hit by any of these asteroids,

[03:17:16] She gets warped back to the beginning so it's...

[03:17:20] Checkpoint?

[03:17:22] Or checkpoint. It moves to pause and wait in certain places if you feel like

[03:17:27] you might not actually get where you're trying to go.

[03:17:33] Yeah, the end of the section is uh

[03:17:37] this is kind of it really depends on how big the asteroids are it's fine i swear we're not playing with fire it's okay

[03:17:48] we're playing with leaves we're we're playing yellow

[03:17:55] all right.

[03:17:58] That section has killed record pace runs.

[03:18:00] It is so squirrely.

[03:18:03] Oh, oh, you got a new product.

[03:18:05] New product?

[03:18:06] Yeah.

[03:18:10] Imagine no more ads ever again except the occasional ad for Unbounded Blocker.

[03:18:11] Wait.

[03:18:11] No more interaction.

[03:18:13] No more immersion reading.

[03:18:28] Just Unbounded Blocker telling you who to watch, when to watch them and how to watch them. Wait, I... But it doesn't block stuff? Join the Unbounded Lurker family. You have no choice, change your time. Unbounded Lurkers might be

[03:18:30] Unbounded Lurkers is stable

[03:18:32] Unbounded Lurkers is in the church

[03:18:34] Join us!

[03:18:36] Give it up for Nightmare Fuel, yeah!

[03:18:39] Yay!

[03:18:41] So anyway there's leaves on the moon.

[03:18:43] We're now on the moon.

[03:18:45] Now some of you might be asking yourself

[03:18:47] how are you using a leaf blower which pushes air on the moon yeah by pushing

[03:18:51] right trigger my controller yes to that we say shut up um uh so there is a wall

[03:18:56] that keeps us in the area.

[03:19:00] However, you can just jump over that wall? Yeah, I'll just jump over it. It's fine.

[03:19:03] It's fine. Alright. Now

[03:19:04] tentacle RNG would be nice.

[03:19:07] I'm glad we didn't get the outage glitch

[03:19:08] because we wouldn't hear the music for this. Right? Alright, so I'm glad we didn't get the audio glitch because we wouldn't hear the music.

[03:19:10] Right?

[03:19:11] Alright, so I'm gonna go...

[03:19:13] to this one.

[03:19:16] There we go!

[03:19:17] Nice! Ooh that went about as well as-

[03:19:19] Oh no!

[03:19:21] I commentator-scursed it. There we go.

[03:19:23] Now we got it.

[03:19:27] Sorry Asuka.

[03:19:32] However upon returning to Earth...

[03:19:34] Something is amiss.

[03:19:38] Wait. I didn't clean those up did I?

[03:19:40] You didn't clean up the leaves on Earth, did you?

[03:19:44] While you were gone,

[03:19:45] The leaves seized the day.

[03:19:51] Are you a bad enough leaf blower person to save humanity?

[03:19:54] I hope.

[03:19:56] All right, so that is part one completed!

[03:20:01] So we are moving on to Horde Mode,

[03:20:03] which is five minutes of...

[03:20:05] We're here now.

[03:20:06] Who likes vampire survivors?

[03:20:07] Anybody fans of vampire survivors?

[03:20:09] Give it up for vampire survivors.

[03:20:11] That's what we're doing for five minutes.

[03:20:13] Oh, with leaves. There are specific power-ups i'm looking

[03:20:16] for um and i'll have dean talk about what i like to call the strat once we get to the part where

[03:20:22] i stopped talking yeah so so do not be deceived

[03:20:25] this part's actually really hard.

[03:20:27] In the ad-free version there's actually

[03:20:29] a manipulation you can do where

[03:20:31] you can

[03:20:32] spam collecting powerups over

[03:20:36] and over and over and over

[03:20:38] where you basically level up

[03:20:40] about 30 times in

[03:20:41] one go, and you become

[03:20:43] not Leafblower person but leaf blower god

[03:20:47] and uh because we're doing the ad supported version

[03:20:50] we don't get to use that manip so uh this part's gonna get actually very

[03:20:54] difficult uh we're gonna we're gonna pass it over in just a minute for some donations,

[03:20:58] but I guess the best thing we can do

[03:20:59] at this point is, much like Vampire Survivors,

[03:21:02] every couple of levels, Asuka's

[03:21:03] going to get access to a new weapon

[03:21:05] and there's a couple of specific weapons that she's looking for.

[03:21:08] And I actually got the jumper. That's what we're looking for.

[03:21:09] Yeah, you give up damage though?

[03:21:11] It's a bummer. So there's an enemy that's going to

[03:21:14] spawn in at some point that is very, very tall

[03:21:16] and forms a circle around the whole arena.

[03:21:19] And one jumper upgrade allows her to jump over that enemy so she

[03:21:23] can get out of there and not get badly flanked by all

[03:21:27] these leaves.

[03:21:29] But yeah,

[03:21:31] this is a five-minute section of just doing this before

[03:21:33] we fight the Leaf King.

[03:21:36] So Sporadic, you got time to read

[03:21:37] a whole bunch of donations.

[03:21:40] Thankfully I have a whole

[03:21:42] bunch of donations.

[03:21:44] Leaf King. Yes.

[03:21:46] You did not miss here.

[03:21:48] Alright, alright, $75 from

[03:21:51] Nyobari says

[03:21:52] Asuka is a craftsman in her

[03:21:55] run of leaf blower man.

[03:21:56] She has nerves of steel

[03:21:58] looking forward to running through these levels like a toro in the china shop don't forget

[03:22:04] to include incentives in your donations to ensure your green works i love that thank you so much

[03:22:17] tempest mask one thousand and five dollars says to a wonderful friend in oscar thank you for playing so many funny games

[03:22:20] and shout out to express lane something i forgot to mention during

[03:22:23] castlevania is that all forever be grateful that you opened your doors

[03:22:27] to me to a great opportunity keep blowing onward. Aw, thank you.

[03:22:33] Jumping intended strats right now. Keep going

[03:22:37] You got time. Alright, peanut153 sent in $50 says the best part

[03:22:41] of working third shift is getting to watch all these amazing runs in the silly block.

[03:22:49] And Comrade MixitN10Dollars says,

[03:22:52] Hey Asuka, can't believe that you're up on stage running leaf blower person helping

[03:22:59] rake in donations for charity best of luck

[03:23:10] i can't believe i can't believe those are the first leaf puns that we've heard actually so far i think we really need a lot more leaf buns, you're gonna kill me.

[03:23:15] Bring them!

[03:23:17] I love puns.

[03:23:20] Don't leave me hanging.

[03:23:38] I have a $50 donation here from MadNutYouth who says donating to MSF during the silly block certainly does not blow. Much love to everyone for putting on such a great event, Less Than Three.

[03:23:42] Also shout out to sheep right there.

[03:23:48] This is the part where it's gonna start getting really scary for me. Alright RetroSend in $25 says

[03:23:50] Fascinated to find out that there are leaves...in space!

[03:23:53] You learn something new every day!

[03:23:55] Thank you Asuka and GDQ

[03:23:58] You will notice that the leagues now have swords.

[03:24:02] Also, these sheep are actually a weapon so every few levels

[03:24:07] you get to pick up a new weapon, and one of the weapons is

[03:24:09] a group of sheep will just run in from off

[03:24:13] the screen and trample a bunch of leaves. And that's

[03:24:17] what's happening here., there are stronger weapons.

[03:24:20] I wanted sheep.

[03:24:23] So we got about 30 more seconds for donations.

[03:24:26] All right, Moe Morrison sent in $50

[03:24:28] It says never trust leaves.

[03:24:33] Jay sent in $25 and says can I pay to get more ads?

[03:24:37] Yes.

[03:24:46] Redumbly sent in $25 and says, ads! And there's a lot of love for the ads coming to Twitter where it was

[03:24:48] sent in $50 and said I'm so glad we donated

[03:24:51] and put the ads back in.

[03:24:52] This is fantastic.

[03:24:56] This is the scariest

[03:24:57] 30 seconds in it.

[03:24:59] Yeah,

[03:24:59] so we're trying

[03:25:01] to tick down that clock in the upper right corner to five minutes because

[03:25:04] that's when the leaf king spawns in so she just has to survive uh so far been doing a bang up job

[03:25:10] there we go nice with this much health, I'm...

[03:25:12] Yeah.

[03:25:13] You know what?

[03:25:14] I'm not gonna say it because I know what runner's curse is.

[03:25:17] Don't do that to yourself.

[03:25:18] I kind of want to do it to myself so my health bar is pretty high.

[03:25:22] Hopefully, I don't get hit by anything.

[03:25:25] Oh, why did you do that?

[03:25:27] Yeah, so one of the weapons

[03:25:28] that she picked up was doing an

[03:25:30] AOE attack every time she jumps and

[03:25:32] doing an AOE attack every time she lands. So all she has to do

[03:25:35] really is just spam jump over and over

[03:25:36] and well, this is what happens.

[03:25:39] But yeah, now that we've hit five minutes

[03:25:41] no more new leaves are spawning in

[03:25:42] We're just gonna see the stragglers getting

[03:25:47] murked until the leaf king spawns in which should be any moment will be in the north part

[03:25:51] of the map so remember how um you mentioned power leveling for the other version?

[03:25:58] This is a different kind of power leveling.

[03:26:02] Carving a hole in everything.

[03:26:10] Yeah, you form that line by moving in a certain way northward

[03:26:13] in order to kind of funnel everything into one

[03:26:14] line but alright we got the Leaf King leaf king here we go here's the leaf

[03:26:19] king he looks so happy yeah he does it's fishy telegraphs his attacks by his facial expressions so

[03:26:29] you'll know as soon as he attacks by uh

[03:26:32] the faces he makes. You know maybe he's, you know he actually doesn't look

[03:26:36] so happy right now it's probably because these sheep are

[03:26:39] gonna bleed them oh i got hit well has a calculator ever quit during the middle of a run? Is that a thing?

[03:26:51] Well, I've already said that's never happened before

[03:26:53] once during this marathon. True

[03:26:55] Um, I hit my quota

[03:26:57] unfortunately And... Leaf King down! my quota unfortunately and leaf king down

[03:27:06] all right so finale is this really long really's like six to eight minutes of

[03:27:10] all these side quests to get these three

[03:27:13] key cards and it takes

[03:27:15] a long time.

[03:27:16] But this is New Game Plus!

[03:27:19] Oh yeah I have those cards. So we already have the key cards in our inventory

[03:27:21] so we just walk up put them in the pedestals and we're done okay so yeah that was side quest skip

[03:27:29] uh yeah that's that that's one of the big differences between

[03:27:32] New Game and New Game Plus.

[03:27:33] Can you knock over the TVs?

[03:27:34] Okay.

[03:27:37] Yay!

[03:27:38] I hope they didn't anger...

[03:27:40] Oh.

[03:27:43] Oh.

[03:27:47] Do you know why there are all these super short levels?

[03:27:50] No.

[03:27:52] Why? There are all these different pointless quests... What?

[03:27:53] I didn't do this.

[03:27:54] Surely you realized why you had to replay the horror mode over and over again.

[03:27:56] Look, I resemble that remark.

[03:27:57] We did show you more ads!

[03:27:58] You're not the consumer, you're the product!

[03:27:59] Oh my god.

[03:28:00] And I'm a fan of your work.

[03:28:01] I love it.

[03:28:02] I think we should have done something about it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't know if you guys have any ideas on how to make it look like a horror more ads. You're not the consumer,

[03:28:04] you're the product!

[03:28:05] And I'm selling your attention to the highest bidder.

[03:28:08] More ads, more money,

[03:28:10] more money, more games,

[03:28:12] more games, more ads! It's the circle of life

[03:28:15] baby.

[03:28:19] It's time for you to die

[03:28:20] and repeat the cycle.

[03:28:23] Let's dance. Oh that got a little moody so yes this is

[03:28:27] the this is the developer the developer

[03:28:29] made himself the final boss of this game yep and chet

[03:28:35] you heard the man let Let's dance! I want to see those dance emotes.

[03:28:40] There is no reason also for me to destroy these...

[03:28:44] There IS a reason. It's fun.

[03:28:46] Yeah yeah it is true.

[03:28:49] I'm like Wadsworth. I like to keep things tidy.

[03:28:51] By the way, this fight only occurs in the ad-supported

[03:28:53] version. If you play ad-free,

[03:28:55] you don't get this fight you get like a little note

[03:28:58] that says oh yeah thanks for getting the ad-free version um yeah i'm just gonna go bug people

[03:29:02] that didn't get that version and um yeah bye yeah so your your donations rng rng to msf went to this that's not gonna work a little

[03:29:11] unfortunate yeah you can get multiple bombs to to hit him at once uh but they have to spawn

[03:29:16] kind of next to each other because the time window is a little bit too narrow to

[03:29:19] push a bunch at once

[03:29:27] On the edge, um's gonna be coming up pretty

[03:29:31] soon it'll be as soon as the last hit uh comes in and the letter probably spawned one or two more.

[03:29:40] Oh, oh, oh!

[03:29:44] No! That's really rude!

[03:29:49] Kubizar, please!

[03:29:51] Okay, that's just bad, aren't you?

[03:29:53] But alright, that is

[03:29:54] time. You never realize what this is.

[03:30:01] You can't stand it!

[03:30:03] There's nothing left to play!

[03:30:06] Poor guy.

[03:30:09] You thought you won, Fireman.

[03:30:12] No! I finished the game.

[03:30:20] Aw...I feel bad now. but we won the game

[03:30:28] also i love the fact that it puts your uh steam name

[03:30:32] in the like top banner.

[03:30:34] Little things like that are just so cool

[03:30:35] about this, but as we

[03:30:37] literally walk off into the sunset, pay no

[03:30:39] attention to people that start having existential

[03:30:41] crises and walk by, they're fine.

[03:30:45] Dean, can you shout yourself out?

[03:32:21] So you guys are going to be in for a treat.

[03:32:22] Oh, yeah.

[03:32:24] The cutscenes in this game

[03:32:25] are beautiful.

[03:32:26] It's pre-Toy Story CGI

[03:32:28] and the animation could not be better truly it's something uh quick introduction to my

[03:32:36] commentator brandino who has also enjoyed some time with the pencil. I have, yes

[03:32:41] thank you so much Allegro, I am

[03:32:43] Brandino, I'm mostly known for handheld speedruns

[03:32:45] but I'm here today to help give commentary to

[03:32:47] Wild Woody a game that I also run

[03:32:49] it is gonna be a great time and I just want to apologize in advance,

[03:32:53] I was yelling divorce during GB Robo and I lost my voice so let's make do with what we got.

[03:33:00] I'm still so excited to talk about this run today.

[03:33:03] All right, uh...

[03:33:05] Don't skip the cutscene!

[03:33:06] Yes yes.

[03:33:07] Do not skip the cutscene.

[03:33:07] I have a very itchy trigger finger, so...

[03:33:10] Alright let's go ahead and three, two, one, go.

[03:33:18] Oh, and I forgot to mention, we sketch a lot during the run.

[03:33:21] I'll be sketching with Allegro sometimes.

[03:33:24] Yeah, we got that ready.

[03:33:26] Who's faster, me or Woody?

[03:33:27] We'll find out.

[03:33:28] Hey, Suspie!

[03:33:29] They just wanted to thank you again for pulling us out of that Aztec coon!

[03:33:48] Hey listen, that guy that had his spear on my shoe at some point... care for pulling us out of that ass incredible voice acting

[03:34:07] i don't know how they can get to the volcano in time my good lord yeah like how are they calling him Each one creates a parallel universe that can devour the world. You're standing chaos to end of the moment, or...

[03:34:09] ...flexing for us though as our power can only be released...

[03:34:12] This is kind of... this has got some guys here.

[03:34:17] Wait a minute, it's July.

[03:34:20] We're in Minnesota so it's probably snowing.

[03:34:22] Oh my god!

[03:34:23] Oh no.

[03:34:24] Is the tunnel about to break?

[03:34:27] Wait, no it's...

[03:34:29] It can't!

[03:34:31] Oh no!

[03:34:32] Oh no!

[03:34:34] You know what it is? I didn't set the Sega CD clock right.

[03:34:39] It's probably set to Wednesday.

[03:34:42] Oh, look what you've done now!

[03:34:46] Oh my achin' back!

[03:34:49] Looks like those jerks are loose again.

[03:34:52] Now I gotta find me some muscle to bring them back.

[03:34:55] Hmm... not much to work with here.

[03:34:58] Say, now that one's got potential too! Not much to work with here.

[03:35:01] Say, now that one's got potential!

[03:35:04] Wake up pal! You and me got work to do!

[03:35:06] I have everything in this room! Whoa... I mean, I can't do that. Yeah, Woody almost eats the camera there. Totem Pole, my fathead totem brothers have escaped my control

[03:35:32] and I brought you to life

[03:35:34] to go and round them up.

[03:35:36] If you don't get them back they'll wipe out

[03:35:38] everything! So

[03:35:40] what do you think? Think you can save the world?

[03:35:43] My good man. As of 15 seconds ago I was burned to save the world!

[03:35:48] Where do I stop?

[03:35:49] Squidlips went into that pirate book, jumping after us and look for sketches in there. Any sketch you draw. That was Yeah! Yahoo!

[03:36:04] That was mo-capped.

[03:36:06] Wait, no,

[03:36:08] that was motion capture. I think

[03:36:10] Pixar animated that dude.

[03:36:12] Alright so we're off to a

[03:36:15] pirate world and yeah this

[03:36:17] game goes from 3D

[03:36:19] cutscenes to just

[03:36:21] 2d nonsense

[03:36:23] Um...and the sprites are

[03:36:25] quite detailed, from my understanding they were

[03:36:27] hand-drawn and then digitized, and you can

[03:36:29] definitely see some of that quality come through here

[03:36:31] The game looks great

[03:36:33] now how it plays is a different story.

[03:36:37] Yeah, Woody feels really putty to control and you had to commit to your dumps.

[03:36:42] Yes! This games jumping is REALLY bad. I don't know how much it shows but every jump you make

[03:36:49] you have to be holding a direction if you're not woody will just jump in place and you can

[03:36:53] barely get him moved left or right not to mention every single ladder or rope in this game

[03:36:59] is like super thin if you are not directly dead center of it woody will let go of

[03:37:05] it and fall there are a lot of things to climb in

[03:37:08] this game so that's really dangerous oh yeah there's some

[03:37:12] that really scare the crap out me and

[03:37:16] uh at this level treasure caves we're gonna pop over to Diddy Kong Racing for a second.

[03:37:22] Um so... I don't know why but this song feels like it's chasing me.

[03:37:29] Makes me very nervous!

[03:37:31] Yeah, so...

[03:37:35] This stage is

[03:37:37] very interesting. There's like multiple routes that you can take

[03:37:40] and they're almost equally the same amount

[03:37:44] of time it takes to get to the end here

[03:37:48] Recently a task was released which helped us find some new routes that we had previously unknown,

[03:37:53] which is awesome. Any help for this game? Very recommended.

[03:37:59] So we're on to the first boss, which is a rapping pirate!

[03:38:05] So we can talk about how woody-damaged his enemy's here. But it's basically by jumping on their heads and erasing them um now this boss

[03:38:14] looks pretty simple but later bosses and enemies it's going to be way more complicated because

[03:38:19] depending on the size of the enemy in the size of

[03:38:20] a hitbox woody won't just snap straight through them.

[03:38:23] Woody! You made it back!

[03:38:25] Oh we got it!

[03:38:25] Let's move on.

[03:38:29] Yeah when Loyal was out they got me some sushi.

[03:38:34] Assume the position, fish boy!

[03:38:35] Wait, what did he say?

[03:38:37] I love that line.

[03:38:38] And how are you calling it, fish boy?

[03:38:40] Ah, fish boy.

[03:38:42] I've been shamed by a darned wizard!

[03:38:47] Alright, my creators deserve well-howin' now. Who's next?

[03:38:48] Brimstone. He blasted into that picture. It used to be a Greek lady...

[03:38:52] Difficulties about the jump up big here in greek world

[03:38:55] god versus pencil pencil wins every time, I'm telling you.

[03:39:11] Actually half the reason I'm running

[03:39:13] this game is that I happen to have a Sega CD, and one day on YouTube

[03:39:17] I discovered the cutscenes and I was hooked. Instantly. Oh real quick! Get ready

[03:39:21] to headbend! This song goes so hard! Yeah...

[03:39:25] This soundtrack is quite hard. Yeah, this soundtrack

[03:39:26] is quite fantastic

[03:39:29] but unironically

[03:39:30] I really think this soundtrack is really good

[03:39:32] It's worth noting the game's

[03:39:34] soundtrack was composed by guitarist Ron Th fall also known as bumblefoot who

[03:39:39] would go on to be the lead guitarist of guns and roses for roughly a decade sometime after this

[03:39:43] game so all i'm saying is that if you make a game like Wild Woody,

[03:39:47] You could become the guitarist of Guns N' Roses.

[03:39:51] So don't give up on your dreams!

[03:39:56] Um but yeah this This song is so good

[03:39:59] Like this song absolutely

[03:40:01] Best song in the game

[03:40:03] Yeah

[03:40:07] Uh I could be taking a bomb path but

[03:40:09] I kinda wanna conserve health here.

[03:40:12] The thing about this game is that every level

[03:40:15] is absolutely littered with enemies and obstacles

[03:40:18] And we're just gonna be running or walking through

[03:40:20] them like 95% of the time.

[03:40:22] Which is very dangerous.

[03:40:25] So we need to make sure that

[03:40:26] our health stays within

[03:40:28] certain parameters so that we're not going to lose time.

[03:40:31] So you might notice that I'm kind of standing still and the

[03:40:35] platforms are disappearing underneath me, I'm actually holding down the erase button

[03:40:39] so it can kinda skip the animation.

[03:40:40] It doesn't work for all surfaces, unfortunately, so...

[03:40:43] It seems to only work in certain levels. This is one

[03:40:46] of them. But yeah this is a-this is kinda funny strat

[03:40:49] So he's erasing things without actually activating the erasing animation

[03:40:54] yeah and this stage has some weird issues uh loading like collision

[03:41:01] yes there's low this level loads inconsistently constantly I think

[03:41:05] just like a quirk of the early CD based console but sometimes tiles and chunks

[03:41:10] at this level load out of order, and you'll notice it very

[03:41:13] quickly when we enter the final

[03:41:15] section if something is wrong. So I kind

[03:41:17] of hope that we get to see a little bit of sprite

[03:41:19] garbage, but that's just me.

[03:41:22] Yeah.

[03:41:23] This level's called Minotaur Maze That's just me. Yeah...

[03:41:27] This level is called Minotaur Maze, but functionally every level in this game is a maze. They're all very labyrinth and huge.

[03:41:30] And this is kind of what I mean right here where it'll just kind of refuse to uh erase things

[03:41:37] it's actually playing nice for once but it knows man it's aware that it's on GDQ now.

[03:41:45] So, um...

[03:41:47] Yeah, this is funny. I swear this only happens to Allegro but the game refuses to load the collision properly.

[03:41:55] But luckily we're at the exit.

[03:41:59] Alright, so

[03:42:00] we're going to be on to probably

[03:42:01] the heaviest platforming kind of stage.

[03:42:04] This is probably some of the most difficult platforming in of stage this is the probably the most some of

[03:42:06] the most difficult platform in the game here

[03:42:08] yeah i feel like brandino can take over

[03:42:12] yeah so um there are a lot of platform cycles

[03:42:15] in this level now luckily these cloud platforms here are solid but every

[03:42:19] other cloud platform that he's currently jumping on if he stays on for too long he will fall

[03:42:24] through it and it's worth noting that like the hitbox to land on these clouds is actually so much smaller

[03:42:30] than you think it is um so you can actually clear the cloud but still kind of fall through

[03:42:36] it if you're too far in the left or right and not in

[03:42:38] the center so this level is really really frustrating for that reason

[03:42:42] not to mention there's literally every uh there are

[03:42:45] literally enemies everywhere throwing stuff at you in this level.

[03:42:48] Like, it is almost impossible to not get hit at least a few times.

[03:42:53] Another banger soundtrack tune here...

[03:42:55] I'll be saying that a lot but Greek Moron

[03:42:57] is some of my favorite songs in the game.

[03:43:00] But there are some excellent pieces of music way better than Wild Woody deserves.

[03:43:06] Another thing to note that we didn't really get this time about in the first boss,

[03:43:10] uh, that song actually like evolves

[03:43:13] into a Limp Bizkit rap. I'm

[03:43:15] not joking. I heavily

[03:43:17] recommend just looking up the soundtrack.

[03:43:19] I've never been on this level long enough there's a rap

[03:43:20] in this level not in this and uh and yo-ho oh yes

[03:43:26] just didn't have enough time to mention that one yo ho is the pirate boss we

[03:43:29] defeated earlier but if you heard it was like a rap song going on during it.

[03:43:32] Only boss song with lyrics, so definitely

[03:43:34] recommend looking it up. Unfortunately, it's also

[03:43:36] the fastest boss in the game, so you barely get to hear it.

[03:43:43] We're almost out of here. Leggoz. You've got a few more jumps to make.

[03:43:45] Yeah, be really careful here.

[03:43:47] This last section can be a little bit dicey.

[03:43:49] If you fall here it is so GG.

[03:43:51] Oh he didn't because

[03:43:53] he's a pro. Alright, nightmare

[03:43:55] fuel warning. That Xbox is a little creepy looking.

[03:44:00] Yeah, this boss

[03:44:01] can be a bit fickle.

[03:44:03] You're intended to basically wait for the cloud cycle here and you can just kind of drop down on the jewel

[03:44:10] And just erase it

[03:44:13] The hitbox in this boss is, like,

[03:44:15] embarrassingly small. It's so frustrating

[03:44:17] to try to hit this and

[03:44:18] Allegro's attempting a task strat called

[03:44:20] A Cloudless Jump but, like you said,

[03:44:23] he's not going to wait for platform cycle. He's just gonna give

[03:44:25] it his all and get one big jump to the left. I'm gonna play it safe there. Yeah!

[03:44:29] It is so much more difficult to make it without the cloud because you essentially have had

[03:44:33] to have the perfect jump into his head.

[03:44:37] What's nice about this boss, it's very easy to die here

[03:44:40] because the holes in the clouds are very large

[03:44:43] but thankfully with this boss if you die your hits are saved.

[03:44:47] But Allegro's a pro.

[03:44:49] Yeah.

[03:44:50] Also fun fact that boss fight is not playing the correct music

[03:44:54] it's just a bug in the game

[03:44:55] and he's playing the

[03:44:56] lighter uh fight song so hang on we got more oscar-worthy animation

[03:45:02] you've got brimstone Look upon what used to be my mighty empire.

[03:45:16] It's completely ruined! Hope you got insurance ready looks like a total loss

[03:45:26] for some reason that line read.

[03:45:29] Hang on, hang on.

[03:45:31] What?

[03:45:34] I thought he was about to eat me.

[03:45:35] I know.

[03:45:38] Bro really comes straight at you there. I was commentating for First Boy

[03:45:40] Warrior Land earlier this week and everything

[03:45:42] was like throwing in my face, I was scared.

[03:45:44] Alright so welcome to

[03:45:46] Industrial Rage a level that is

[03:45:48] not very angry.

[03:45:51] Yeah, so we've had a bit of a route change thanks to the task

[03:45:52] and we were able to skip drawing

[03:45:54] using his sketch, so

[03:45:57] we won't be seeing any sketches for a little while but

[03:45:59] Brandino's got a little bit of tribute i think yeah yeah

[03:46:02] i'm gonna go ahead and sketch out real quick what you used to see in this level give me a second Oh, uh... that's weird. I kinda wrote DK64randomizer.com.

[03:46:20] I don't know what happened there! I'm sorry. I guess I got possessed by Donkey Kong.

[03:46:24] I think that's a good cue for a quick donation.

[03:46:28] I have $50 here from Bitty Omega who says

[03:46:31] Sorry to hear that Brandino got devoiced.

[03:46:36] Here's to the Pokemon White 2

[03:46:38] challenge mode! Just a little update

[03:46:40] on that for everybody.

[03:46:41] We are now up to $9,321.58 out of the $20,000 we need.

[03:46:49] We're almost halfway there.

[03:46:51] Y'all are doing amazing.

[03:46:52] Please, please, please keep cooking on that incentive

[03:46:55] when you're donating to Doctors Without Borders.

[03:46:58] Let's keep going to the chef.

[03:46:59] Alright so we're on the dark power plant

[03:47:01] and there is some really small conveyor belts

[03:47:04] and right here,

[03:47:05] Phogos. Yeah okay if I fall down there that's a bit

[03:47:09] quite a time loss. You might not realize it but that's one of the hardest

[03:47:13] jumping sections in the entire game right there it's so easy to fall and

[03:47:17] those conveyor belts move you like straight to the edge of the platform instantly so you have such

[03:47:22] little time to react unless you want to sit there and like readjust your jumps repeatedly

[03:47:29] and yeah this stage is

[03:47:34] yeah there's a lot of enemies on the stage and there's going to be some toxic

[03:47:38] ways I have to go through.

[03:47:40] So...

[03:47:41] Oh!

[03:47:42] And my game senses hate this

[03:47:46] but to end this level you go a very extended

[03:47:48] section moving to the left.

[03:47:50] But I always want to move to the right so this doesn't make

[03:47:52] any sense to me.

[03:47:54] Yeah. So we've got time for another quick donation

[03:47:56] before we finish the stage.

[03:47:59] Alright, Corinne sent in $25

[03:48:01] and says, where can I wake up to?

[03:48:05] Speak!

[03:48:06] The brilliance

[03:48:07] that is Wild Woody, obviously.

[03:48:09] I'm so glad to be able to share this game

[03:48:11] it's such a goofy Sega CD classic

[03:48:15] This was supposed to be a swan song for Seg Up America

[03:48:18] like imagine this being the game you're giving it your all on

[03:48:21] wild woody yeah alright so this is the average uh sonic speed runner right here

[03:48:31] ouch Sonic speedrunner right here. Ouch!

[03:48:33] So we're gonna get some quick double hits here,

[03:48:35] and we have to flip the laser on top of his head

[03:48:37] but this is a pretty

[03:48:39] simple boss yeah

[03:48:42] so fun fact if you fall off into the

[03:48:45] the pit right there after

[03:48:47] the uh template piece has shown up

[03:48:49] uh you can crash the game

[03:48:57] we've got quite a few totems there's only a few left I my hey

[03:49:19] go get him i just know the guy doing the motion capture had the best day ever i can imagine so all right guys Welcome to Alien Homeworld.

[03:49:23] And we're actually going

[03:49:23] to see a really cool

[03:49:24] strat in this level

[03:49:25] but it's also somewhat

[03:49:26] of an annoying strat.

[03:49:28] But if this all goes well

[03:49:30] this will actually be

[03:49:30] one of the shortest

[03:49:31] levels in the game.

[03:49:33] Yeah. I'm going gonna cross my fingers that

[03:49:35] that missile oh my god it wouldn't leave you alone

[03:49:37] no it would not sometimes you'll just have random stuff

[03:49:42] just flying from far away all Alright, here we go.

[03:49:46] So Allegro's attempting a glitch

[03:49:47] here. It looks pretty simple. Oh my

[03:49:49] God! Yes! Let's go!

[03:49:51] I can't even pop off. My voice is

[03:49:53] destroyed. That is really

[03:49:56] difficult. We were so worried about that.

[03:49:58] That's one of those strats that can go first try

[03:50:00] or 20th try and there's no difference

[03:50:02] it feels like.

[03:50:03] Yeah, that is a really just super inconsistent strat so uh so this is infested uh we actually

[03:50:13] are going to use some sketch pads here so I get to flex my creative muscles once again.

[03:50:17] Yeah!

[03:50:19] So we had to collect two sketchpads for a

[03:50:21] specific reason towards the end of this stage

[03:50:23] and right here we're having to deal

[03:50:25] with gravity section and it's fairly difficult

[03:50:28] to control. Yeah,

[03:50:30] um so the thing with the gravity is that

[03:50:32] okay Allegro has been attempting another trick

[03:50:34] let's see if he can get it actually

[03:50:36] this is a new trick yes So he's gonna... Yes!

[03:50:39] Yes! I am so glad I got both.

[03:50:41] That's actually really hard.

[03:50:42] So what he was doing there is that he has to bait

[03:50:45] the enemy into coming by the little laser door

[03:50:47] and then jump on him at just the right time such that

[03:50:49] Woody gets sucked behind the laser door

[03:50:51] on top of the enemy. Because all enemies

[03:50:53] are like slightly magnetic to Woody's eraser.

[03:50:56] They think they can escape it,

[03:50:57] but they can't.

[03:51:02] Yeah, shout out to cindy who just dropped the tasks out of nowhere for this game oh my god literally weeks before we came here was awesome we got a

[03:51:06] bunch of new stuff to show off because of it. Yeah, it's crazy.

[03:51:11] And hey, if you're somebody out there

[03:51:12] who for some reason owns a copy of this game

[03:51:14] you should try it sometime.

[03:51:16] Alright so this is the sketch mechanic

[03:51:17] and yeah what do you get shorter? I mean And, uh, yeah.

[03:51:21] What do you get shorter?

[03:51:22] I need a laser gun.

[03:51:25] Nice.

[03:51:25] All right, hang on.

[03:51:26] Next one.

[03:51:29] Magician hat.

[03:51:32] So... Magician hat. So, yeah, we didn't actually need the power ups for any reason other than to just get small enough

[03:51:38] there that uh that little no pad there i do not want to pick

[03:51:42] that up or else woody would not be able to fit through and we wouldn't be

[03:51:45] able to finish the stage worth mentioning the end of this level

[03:51:48] like bugs out hard for some reason sometimes. And like, Woody will casually

[03:51:53] like... Okay! Hardest boss

[03:51:55] time also a bit creepy looking

[03:51:59] So this is Alien Love Nest

[03:52:01] The thing about this boss is that it's kind of a quick strat so allegro wants to

[03:52:05] jump up this uh this rope and then attack one of the blue gem and then get back onto the rope

[03:52:11] kind of in like a quick circular motion but what makes it difficult is

[03:52:15] that alien love dust is swiping at him with his tail for an insane amount of damage and it like

[03:52:19] summons these little kiss shaped bats which also like I said, Woody magnetizes

[03:52:25] to enemies when possible. So those

[03:52:27] kiss bats end up eating most of your inputs.

[03:52:31] There we go.

[03:52:31] Finally got hit in.

[03:52:33] Luckily this boss only takes three hits because they knew how bad it was.

[03:52:37] But yeah,

[03:52:38] it might look like Allegra is missing

[03:52:40] it wide open but the hitbox

[03:52:42] is so small.

[03:52:44] Now, don't worry about dying because any hits that we've already made will stay.

[03:52:49] Again they knew.

[03:52:51] Alright one more.

[03:52:53] There's like a specific height I try and aim for to jump off the rope.

[03:52:59] Relying on Woody's

[03:53:00] jump in this game is like,

[03:53:01] the worst thing you can do.

[03:53:02] Okay.

[03:53:03] That's...

[03:53:03] Nice!

[03:53:04] Yeah.

[03:53:06] Whew!

[03:53:06] That boss, like...

[03:53:08] that bots 90% of the time is a difference maker between runs that continue and runs that don't.

[03:53:14] Oh yeah.

[03:53:17] Okay! Yep. Here's a face to that. Okay.

[03:53:20] Here's a face for that.

[03:53:27] Come on! We finished yet?

[03:53:28] One more job. You gotta go get Tombstone!

[03:53:30] You'll find him there.

[03:53:33] Remember the last time Tombstone got his smile?

[03:53:35] People still wonder what happened to Atlantis...

[03:53:38] ...and the Titanicanic surely that was no

[03:53:41] accident there's some deep lore in this game my ability and you have a chance. Ability AND chance! It's got nothing to do with it, bright boy!

[03:53:54] And the name is not Betseldack! Hang on...

[03:53:57] IT'S WADDY! WAAAAAAAHHHHH WADDY! There he goes

[03:54:01] Hang on listen

[03:54:04] He's still going

[03:54:09] That's my boy okay all right so welcome to the pit this is another incredible song

[03:54:17] i love this song and this level has changed a lot in the last few weeks because of the tasks.

[03:54:25] Sort of, yeah.

[03:54:27] Well...

[03:54:29] Go ahead and then- Oh!

[03:54:31] Yeah, you gotta do this quick sketch.

[03:54:33] All right.

[03:54:34] This is my best drawing of a fist.

[03:54:38] So, yeah.

[03:54:40] We used to have to go through quite a bit of this stage.

[03:54:43] Um...

[03:54:44] But thanks to the task,

[03:54:45] We did find there was a way

[03:54:47] To get over a pretty big wall

[03:54:49] At the beginning there.

[03:54:50] Unfortunately it-

[03:54:51] Oh!

[03:54:52] That's not a fist!

[03:54:52] Oops!

[03:54:54] I drew a love bust! Ha ha! it... Oh, that's not a fist. Oops. You're gonna lump us.

[03:54:56] But yeah

[03:54:57] the task

[03:54:59] basically kind of revealed that we can actually

[03:55:01] get over the wall at

[03:55:03] the beginning, but if without using a specific power-up that we're about to use here

[03:55:10] Which is it ghost? Yeah. It looks like this right oh

[03:55:17] I'm sorry. that's my shopping list

[03:55:19] sorry now it's a ghost

[03:55:26] oh brandy no but yeah that's the wall we need to clear. In the task you can just kind of jump over it and use like a wall clip to get up.

[03:55:31] It's a really precise trick to get over that wall but with Ghost you can just fly right

[03:55:35] over it.

[03:55:35] Shout out to Allegro for finding that out

[03:55:37] because that took a lot of patience

[03:55:39] to find the ghost legitimately.

[03:55:41] I don't know how you found that.

[03:55:42] Yeah, that was quite an endeavor.

[03:55:48] Because I really wanted to get that test strat

[03:55:50] down, but I just realized

[03:55:52] that was not going to happen. Yeah we

[03:55:54] were practicing it beforehand and

[03:55:56] so it's like you can get up to the two

[03:55:59] platforms that let you jump over the wall

[03:56:01] but actually jumping over the wall is

[03:56:03] ridiculously precise. And this is not

[03:56:05] the game that you want precise jumps in.

[03:56:07] Yeah, and those platforms I was just jumping off of

[03:56:09] Those are very slippery, and you can easily run off them

[03:56:13] Yes, those platforms are kind of like our conveyor belts from earlier but the moment you press an input on

[03:56:17] them, Woody will start sliding to the edge immediately

[03:56:20] and you have to react as soon as you possibly

[03:56:22] can. And we're just gonna

[03:56:24] keep jumping. This level is

[03:56:26] incredibly big.

[03:56:28] With the new strat because of the ghost ghost hover we ended up saving like 20-30 seconds

[03:56:33] it was a lot of time just from skipping a lot of falling down and movement like this in the level

[03:56:39] All right one more level left and one more boss left yep so yeah uh this next stage

[03:56:47] is it's the last stage but is like surprisingly easy compared to the rest of

[03:56:53] the game yeah like these enemies don't do a lot

[03:56:56] of damage to woody and in general um like this level is

[03:57:00] pretty short and pretty sweet. Although we're

[03:57:03] missing this platform cycle so we

[03:57:05] clearly spoke way too soon

[03:57:06] Yeah, thankfully the spikes

[03:57:09] do not cause

[03:57:10] any horrible harm. Yeah I'm actually surprised you really don't take a lot of damage in this level

[03:57:15] And you'd think you would because it's the last level but because we have some time to chill

[03:57:19] I think is pretty good for some shoutouts if you want to give them Allegro

[03:57:22] Yeah like I said uh shasta and

[03:57:25] diviola who worked on the task big shadows and uh just a panda

[03:57:30] who is the current world record holder ran this

[03:57:35] like five years ago, I think?

[03:57:37] Yeah, it was a while ago.

[03:57:39] That's kind of what

[03:57:40] kicked me off to start running

[03:57:43] this. I'm kind of an avid collector,

[03:57:45] so I like to find

[03:57:47] weird stuff.

[03:57:49] And you won't find much weirder stuff than

[03:57:51] Wild Woody? Yep.

[03:57:53] So we got time for one quick donation while we clear these pits here.

[03:57:57] Alright, Patstack sent in $25 and said I'm so glad we live in a country that gives us a day off for silly block!

[03:58:05] Hype for the runs and, uh...

[03:58:07] Whee!

[03:58:07] Yeah, what he said, God bless America.

[03:58:11] All right, so we got another banger track coming up.

[03:58:14] Oh, and you guys aren't ready if you've never seen this boss i'm just telling you it's the

[03:58:19] i don't know what they were thinking about this boss design okay we didn't get it so uh you gotta

[03:58:24] listen for the flush and why do we have to listen for the flush?

[03:58:27] It's because this boss

[03:58:28] is a giant toilet

[03:58:29] that you flush.

[03:58:31] Yeah,

[03:58:32] we had to lure

[03:58:33] the flying green monkey

[03:58:35] into the lever

[03:58:37] for the toilet.

[03:58:39] So, to give shout outs real quick on my end I want to thank Allegro

[03:58:44] for having me here.

[03:58:45] I'm also an avid collector and I love very silly stuff

[03:58:49] like Wild Woody. Um, I'm a big

[03:58:51] Conker's Bad Fur Day speedrunner so this

[03:58:53] game kind of reminds me of that from a few years prior

[03:58:56] um, thank you so much for

[03:58:57] having me and shout out to anybody who's out there running really obscure games like Wild Woody.

[03:59:02] You're seen, and we love you!

[03:59:04] Alright get ready on time? Time.

[03:59:06] GG!

[03:59:08] Sorry for the last minute.

[03:59:13] It's okay. Alright, and yeah yeah we got one more cutscene right here

[03:59:26] we're gonna enjoy oh yay please enjoy this cutscene Oh, man. It's good to be home.

[03:59:28] Woody!

[03:59:28] I can't believe it!

[03:59:29] You're sharper than I thought!

[03:59:31] You did it! Yeah, that's what I did with Buster Goode.

[03:59:34] She-Ra, you just saved the universe.

[03:59:36] Once you toss Tucson on top,

[03:59:38] I'll put these bozos back on ice.

[03:59:40] But first, you deserve a reward anything

[03:59:43] you want pal you name it you want to be king of the world

[04:00:03] he's only got one thing in mind. just toss tombstone up and you'll get your wish buy a more powerful young pencil you shall not defeat me

[04:00:10] but it's game over well he's got the rock and dimes running up

[04:00:14] he's at the top of the key three two one

[04:00:17] he shoots it's good i'll see you next time the world needs

[04:00:24] saving yeah only if we I'll see you next time the world needs saving.

[04:00:25] Yeah, only if we sell a zillion units.

[04:00:28] They didn't sell a zillion units.

[04:00:30] Nope.

[04:00:40] Fuck! You gotta see Woody's expression here.

[04:00:42] He looks so pained.

[04:00:59] And that's Wild Woody for the Sega CD. Again, thank you to Brandino for having like commentating for this nonsense.

[04:01:00] I'm so happy to be here.

[04:01:02] Thanks for letting me flex my sketching power.

[04:01:07] And thank you to GQ staff for accepting this. I hope this gave

[04:01:08] everybody a great morning

[04:01:09] We still got some more silly

[04:01:12] blogs so

[04:01:13] Please tune in, Stuart Little 2 is going to be a sick

[04:01:16] run later, I can't wait to see that.

[04:01:19] Shout out to Jacksler.

[04:01:20] All right.

[04:01:21] Check you all later.

[04:01:29] How's it going? I'm V and I am joined by these three lovely people.

[04:01:32] Would you like to introduce yourselves?

[04:01:34] Hi! I'm Bystander Tim. You saw me crash a bus live on stage two runs ago.

[04:01:40] Hi, I'm Amberlynn.

[04:01:41] I'm...I'm Shearer.

[04:01:43] I am Teddy and I was here earlier too.

[04:01:46] So because of your donations we're going to be doing voice acting instead of. So there are a lot

[04:01:51] of cutscenes in this game and

[04:01:52] very interesting cutscenes though.

[04:01:55] The three people on my couch will be helping me

[04:01:56] to bring those to life

[04:01:58] a little bit so

[04:01:59] as we get in here,

[04:02:01] we're gonna get started

[04:02:02] in three, two, one go.

[04:02:09] Sushi!

[04:02:12] All right. Sushi! Alright, so this is a sequel to I'm Going To Die If I Don't

[04:02:16] Eat Sushi. There are two of these games which is

[04:02:20] incredible. This game's actually better

[04:02:22] and the plot is

[04:02:24] less comprehensible so

[04:02:26] it's gonna be a good... Okay I just missed

[04:02:29] that.

[04:02:30] Alright, so we're gonna need that one.

[04:02:33] Alright so we are collecting sushi, uh...

[04:02:35] We have a health bar at the top

[04:02:37] and if it goes all the way

[04:02:39] to the bottom or left

[04:02:41] we die forever but we need to get 15 sushi on the right there

[04:02:47] once we do that the game will be over so thanks for donating appreciate it thank you five thousand Thank you for the $5,000.

[04:02:59] Thank you.

[04:03:01] Alright.

[04:03:04] Damn! Sushi is so good today!

[04:03:07] What the hell is going on? The sushi is disappearing!

[04:03:12] That's not all. Earth in the sky, there is a lot of them man!

[04:03:19] Sushi lover please visit. Can you hear me? I am the great sushi will now

[04:03:27] the concept of sushi in the universe is being rewritten by someone

[04:03:34] the enemy seems to be so powerful that they can twist the cause and effect of the universe.

[04:03:40] Now is the time to turn your thoughts into power! Save this cosmic sushi with your passion!

[04:03:48] I'll do it!

[04:03:52] Sushi lover thank you for your courageous decision.

[04:03:56] This is gonna be great we have another like half an hour of that!

[04:04:00] It was the one with the numerous challenges, and it's like sushi sauce! The power to dispel evil!

[04:04:05] So it should be mentioned that Teddy's speeder in this game,

[04:04:09] Tim and I are basically reading this blind.

[04:04:12] And the game does not make it clear who is speaking at all

[04:04:15] in any sort of way.

[04:04:16] Yeah.

[04:04:17] So if we mess up who's talking at any point i'm really sorry yeah make sure to

[04:04:21] play and laugh if you thought that pacing was good wait till later but like you know the game

[04:04:28] is pretty normal so far there There are just multiple earths in

[04:04:31] the sky and we're collecting sushi to try to collect some sushi souls.

[04:04:35] It's pretty normal at The Giant Sushi Shop, ya know? Yeah.

[04:04:39] Now is that a normal sushi shop or are we just small?

[04:04:42] This is a great question.

[04:04:44] The philosophers will be arguing about this for years.

[04:04:46] Yeah.

[04:04:46] Tweet the developer asking.

[04:04:48] This is very important for the Sushi Wiki.

[04:04:50] We're going to put that on there is she guy how's your small

[04:04:53] sorry how'd you say it so anyways this is a second so we have different goals through some

[04:05:00] of these levels this one has to reach the goal but we want to buy something from the shop that was just shown so we're gonna do that

[04:05:08] But we need to collect some sushi to get some points that we can turn in for tokens, that we can turn into tickets

[04:05:13] that we can turn them for a power-up. That we are going to grab the...

[04:05:18] In the next area which should be in a moment.

[04:05:26] You can just jump,

[04:05:28] you can die after you, or you can't die after you finish a level but you can jump

[04:05:30] into the void so we'll be doing that as much

[04:05:32] as humanly possible.

[04:05:35] Alright, so we're gonna go over here and do this

[04:05:38] wonderful level. As you collect the Sushi Souls more of these doorways open up

[04:05:43] there's more options.

[04:05:44] So people much smarter than me figured out which levels were the quickest.

[04:05:48] We have levels like this where you pick up red sushi and only pick those up.

[04:05:56] And yeah! I don't know what that is...

[04:05:58] You just read Sushi.

[04:06:02] There's a lot of people watching!

[04:06:07] If you keep collecting sushi shells at this rate,

[04:06:09] the lost sushi will eventually return

[04:06:11] to normal!

[04:06:14] Sushi is

[04:06:15] not food.

[04:06:17] I sense an evil force, that one seems to be the one responsible for rewriting the concept of sushi!

[04:06:24] Oh my god at this rate the sushi of this universe

[04:06:31] i didn't notice the face the sushi palm down and listen

[04:06:35] sushi which existed as food has been reinterpreted

[04:06:39] as an arms.

[04:06:42] If things continue like this sushi

[04:06:44] which is become a weapon will end up killing us!

[04:06:47] Worst case scenario but still as long

[04:06:48] as you're inhabiting the sushi soul i believe there's still a way to get

[04:06:52] your sushi back very cool the power to travel through

[04:06:57] the multiverse with the love of sushi let's call this verse shift

[04:07:02] if hope disappears from this universe it is until it is found in another universe

[04:07:07] come on let's go together hey i sushi! We will travel to many universes and bring back sushi as food!

[04:07:17] Alright, so a bunch of planets are about to get exploded.

[04:07:22] I don't know what those universes were, as you'll see Sushi becomes different on these universes so we can kind of like

[04:07:29] brainstorm out a little bit on what's going on in those at least a little bit.

[04:07:34] Yeah so... They're like 10 out though that's fine- oh nevermind.

[04:07:38] You lost a couple at the end there!

[04:07:41] Alright so... Looks like you succeeded in verse shift this is a different universe than the

[04:07:45] one we came from it seems like the concept of sushi here is not seen as food, but as sport.

[04:07:55] Even if there are different interpretations of sushi,

[04:07:57] there must be a sushi soul in this universe.

[04:08:00] Hey!

[04:08:02] Hey there, sushi lover! You will undergo a new test that transcends the boundaries of this universe.

[04:08:08] I forgot how much you were talking during this Tim!

[04:08:12] We did split up all these roles beforehand, and we just kind of picked Arbisher early.

[04:08:18] Yeah which means it might get a little bit weird at the end when we have the big finale of this run,

[04:08:25] which is going to be a great time.

[04:08:27] Okay, I don't want those sushis anyway, actually.

[04:08:30] So yeah, there's like a pitching machine

[04:08:33] that's throwing green sushi at us.

[04:08:35] Green sushi is bad, it probably was something worth mentioning like six minutes ago.

[04:08:38] You don't want to touch that. It hurts you.

[04:08:43] I'm gonna go over here and do another little...

[04:08:45] Actually this is probably a good time to read

[04:08:47] a couple of donations.

[04:08:49] Perfect! While I struggle

[04:08:51] to keep up with the plot there's plenty

[04:08:53] of love coming in for you NB

[04:08:55] For instance A generous $500 donation from the Fets.

[04:09:01] They say to sushi, silly games and new friends.

[04:09:06] Thank you so much for that generous donation to Doctors Without Borders.

[04:09:12] Do I have time for one more? Go for it! Amazing, I have $49.90 from The Sushi Train conductor, who says all aboard

[04:09:21] the sushi train choo-choo! Three yellow, two red, three blue, one gray,

[04:09:27] one purple. Thank you the Fets for your incredibly

[04:09:29] generous gestures.

[04:09:32] 700k hype!

[04:09:33] Hype!

[04:09:35] Wait how many purple?

[04:09:38] This is where I reveal how little I know about sushi and I out myself,

[04:09:42] and never have me play another sushi game on here ever again.

[04:09:45] Purple's usually the most expensive plate.

[04:09:48] I was about to say that wasn't a game thing. That was a real money thing.

[04:09:51] No!

[04:09:54] Anyways.

[04:09:56] Sushi.

[04:09:58] So

[04:09:59] I am a little bit short on cash so we're gonna go do another level and then we're gonna buy cool power up that's going to make us go a little faster.

[04:10:06] There are all these people here when you run by them they say stuff it's probably important.

[04:10:11] Anyways,

[04:10:12] we're gonna go do this level.

[04:10:14] Just a bunch of trampolines

[04:10:16] and another pitching robot here for some reason.

[04:10:18] I don't know. This is weird.

[04:10:21] Let's use you as sport gear. That's true. Iushi is sport here.

[04:10:23] That's true, I'm happy you're paying attention.

[04:10:25] There will not be a quiz afterwards

[04:10:27] because I am going to bed.

[04:10:34] Yay!

[04:10:41] Alright, we're gonna go buy a power-up over here to grab this and I'm not going to press the wrong one because if I do that, the entire rest of the run

[04:10:44] is miserable. And we'll just sit in silence.

[04:10:47] So you can only have

[04:10:48] one skill on at a time, so

[04:10:50] we're not going to buy any more.

[04:10:52] We're in a skate park here, and there's a bunch of evil, bad sushi people that are coming after us on skateboards made out of bad sushi.

[04:11:02] And they just kind of go wherever they want to go, if they run into me it's kind of a them

[04:11:05] problem.

[04:11:07] But they were really nice which is really cool

[04:11:09] They also run towards you during the cutscene

[04:11:13] Doesn't do anything. I never thought about it if sushi is a sport in this universe that

[04:11:17] implies that there's like bikes and skateboards and stuff

[04:11:20] yeah the wheels are made of worst way to get around possible

[04:11:27] i mean some sushi could be round.

[04:11:29] That's how wheels work, right?

[04:11:32] Is it you?

[04:11:34] The bullshit guy who eats sushi and is causing a stir in Shibuya

[04:11:36] is...

[04:11:37] He seems like yourself that exists in this universe.

[04:11:41] Sushi is a wonderful thing

[04:11:43] that brings everyone together!

[04:11:49] I won't allow you to insult that.

[04:11:55] It's time to sweat it out with sushi!

[04:12:00] Alright, this is our first boss fight. They're doing stuff.

[04:12:05] So the spawn points for the boss here are set beforehand.

[04:12:12] So we just kind of, you know, you're fine.

[04:12:17] And he eventually screams.

[04:12:20] It's fine, it's fine! We'll eat a couple of sushi at that.

[04:12:28] Alright cool now he is immediately our friend because we ate a bunch of sushi.

[04:12:32] Haha! It was a good match!

[04:12:37] It seems like I misunderstood you somehow.

[04:12:40] I guess you somehow.

[04:12:43] I guess you're just like me, a player fascinated by the heat of sushi.

[04:12:47] You're passing for Sushi!

[04:12:50] I will not forget it. Let's compete again all right so you might be noticing a trend with the new

[04:12:55] characters in this game um they're they're a little bit similar to the protagonist which

[04:13:01] is not a trend that's going to continue for

[04:13:02] the rest of the game so this level is evil you have to push a ball into the net and it kind of

[04:13:11] we're just kinda watching.

[04:13:12] I'm not actually playing the game while this is happening.

[04:13:14] It just goes where it wants to go and I try my best

[04:13:18] and my best is not good enough unfortunately.

[04:13:20] There we go.

[04:13:22] I mean, that already found him. That was not bad!

[04:13:24] That was pretty good!

[04:13:28] Oh there's the balls. The balls are falling down!

[04:13:32] Cool, alright, we're going to a different universe

[04:13:36] all right here i go talking to myself hey we each get to have a moment of

[04:13:40] them in this universe the concept of sushi seems to be considered technology.

[04:13:51] Alright so what is sushi being technology mean i don't know honestly uh

[04:13:59] i guess we'll see i don't know we have these weird robot things that have sushi chasing after us.

[04:14:08] That's not where I want to go.

[04:14:12] If they do catch up with you, and they will just kind of chase

[04:14:15] the end of the earth... They will just kind of chase you out of the earth.

[04:14:17] They will just combo you a bunch of times

[04:14:19] and make your life miserable.

[04:14:21] And then, like, instantly kill you. It sucks.

[04:14:23] That's our great camera angle.

[04:14:25] There he is! I can see his arm if you could see his arm he ate it that's true

[04:14:34] all right this is probably a good time for a couple of donations then.

[04:14:38] Absolutely, and the Sushi Train

[04:14:41] is rolling along following you from universe to universe.

[04:14:44] I have $35 donation from Lanku DC who says,

[04:14:49] buying my ticket for the sushi train

[04:14:51] with one plate of every color.

[04:14:53] Choo choo all aboard!

[04:14:57] I also have a $30 donation here from Tutti the Fruity who says,

[04:15:02] Donating a dollar for every order of sushi I made this week leading up to

[04:15:07] this pivotal moment.

[04:15:08] Sushi is love.

[04:15:09] Sushi is life. Sushi is sports. Sushi is love, sushi is life,

[04:15:11] sushi is sports, sushi is technology,

[04:15:13] sushi is everything.

[04:15:16] I don't wanna say the thing

[04:15:17] but him just disappearing from that camera

[04:15:19] is something that's not happened before for me, so...

[04:15:24] Alright, so th-

[04:15:26] Whoops. There's the goop!

[04:15:29] You see the goop yet? Is that wasabi?

[04:15:34] I don't know, they don't explain anything in this game.

[04:15:36] We're trying our best over here.

[04:15:40] This level just has a goop just got accepted yeah the the goop

[04:15:42] uh rises up during the levels so if you take too long

[04:15:45] you die but thankfully we're doing this thing called a speed run

[04:15:49] and i should never have that be a problem.

[04:15:58] We only need...

[04:16:00] Have to do math, nine more!

[04:16:02] Figured it out.

[04:16:04] It's early.

[04:16:05] Not that I can do math normally.

[04:16:07] Okay, there's actually a strat on this level.

[04:16:08] This is a cool level.

[04:16:09] You have to pay attention.

[04:16:10] Unless I mess it up and look away.

[04:16:14] So,

[04:16:15] there's a cycle here,

[04:16:16] okay I missed that, nevermind.

[04:16:20] So we can use this

[04:16:21] to damage boost off. It's the one time

[04:16:23] where he has to damage boost the entire run.

[04:16:25] Skips going through the entire maze

[04:16:27] and interacting with the level, so...

[04:16:31] Sometimes you try

[04:16:31] to do that, and you just get hit by it

[04:16:33] and then die, which is really sad.

[04:16:36] But yeah, we're good!

[04:16:38] Cool. So we are finishing

[04:16:40] up one more level, and then we'll do

[04:16:42] the boss fight with

[04:16:44] the unknown sushi soul of this universe.

[04:16:48] So, before we get to that cutscene

[04:16:50] we'll do a couple more donations.

[04:16:55] You got it!

[04:16:56] And just as a reminder for everyone out there,

[04:16:57] we are now very close to $11,000 raised

[04:17:01] for that Pokemon White 2 Challenge Mode incentive.

[04:17:04] I love to see these numbers climbing

[04:17:08] I have a $25 donation

[04:17:10] here from Morning Possum

[04:17:12] who says save the soul of sushi

[04:17:14] save the world. Thanks to

[04:17:16] Envy and Couch team for undertaking this critical endeavor are you the sushi eating

[04:17:21] man detected by the shibuya surveillance system sushi is an algorithm responsible for the evolution of society.

[04:17:32] I will delete bugs that threaten the future of humanity.

[04:17:37] It's time to execute the sushi function!

[04:17:43] I love his glasses so much.

[04:17:46] So, uh... he just tries to hit us and then we dash forward

[04:17:51] and hopefully i don't die his different attack i don't know if there's

[04:17:55] an order to it this is the easiest of the boss fights

[04:17:59] um you can just get hit by everything

[04:18:01] I don't know why the sushi's...

[04:18:03] like, what's the difference between the sushi colors?

[04:18:05] You have green sushi and normal sushi

[04:18:07] you have blue sushi

[04:18:09] I guess it's because it's technology I don't know. I guess it's because of technology,

[04:18:12] I don't know what that means either still.

[04:18:13] Anyways, the boss fight is over,

[04:18:14] that was fun.

[04:18:18] I see,

[04:18:19] I understand.

[04:18:21] It seems like you are creating new value for sushi using your own logic

[04:18:26] i'm sorry for being so rude your understanding and interest in

[04:18:30] sushi may be what society truly needs today.

[04:18:40] The power of Sushi-Soul has opened the door to a new universe!

[04:18:44] Well, let's go, sushi lover.

[04:18:47] Thank you Tim for agreeing to do this.

[04:18:49] Oh wait I have to go this way there is a level, oh wait wait wait

[04:18:53] I've done this game before, I promise.

[04:18:55] Just a few times.

[04:18:59] Alright so at this level you're supposed to read

[04:19:01] the arrows on the ground there but

[04:19:03] if you just kinda do that and then

[04:19:05] So half the platforms are

[04:19:07] You don't have collision. Maybe just memorize

[04:19:09] it and you're good

[04:19:11] And if you don't, you die

[04:19:15] Alright now we're gonna...

[04:19:18] Now we're going to go to the new universe!

[04:19:21] This one is a little interesting if you read the frame that it was on.

[04:19:26] Happy Sushi Easter! the frame that it was on

[04:19:32] happy sushi easter in this universe the concept of sushi seems to be considered a god I'm just going to wait until the end.

[04:19:36] Let's finish this

[04:19:46] normal thing levels of the game because this tornado here actively hates you okay well now i have to

[04:19:50] yeah i never meant him not dealing with this today we're gonna try it again

[04:19:59] so this tornado makes you move really slow when you're inside of it

[04:20:01] I'm not going to die again

[04:20:05] I promise

[04:20:06] maybe I'm gonna die again i'm considering it i think i don't have to oh

[04:20:14] we're rerouting on the fly to try to have this tornado not come after me why does this bubble music go hard too

[04:20:23] yeah we were realizing while we were waiting none of us had sat down and actually listened

[04:20:26] to menu music it goes on for like six minutes and it just goes super hard

[04:20:30] for no reason whatsoever.

[04:20:34] That was a mess we're not gonna talk about it.

[04:20:38] Uh remember Flappy Bird by any chance? For no reason in particular.

[04:20:44] So anyways, this is Flappy Bird.

[04:20:48] There's just a bunch of laser beams everywhere, and if any of them hits you,

[04:20:55] you lose your momentum forward and then you die.

[04:21:01] And now we're falling into the void.

[04:21:03] Remember, don't delete that off your sushi phone!

[04:21:07] Cool, we're gonna see the boss fight now.

[04:21:11] Just run straight in there. This is a very interesting cutscene...something.

[04:21:16] It's you! What is the sushi eating devil that appeared in Shibuya?

[04:21:26] I am food, you know! in shibuya ah horrible

[04:21:30] repent

[04:21:33] and the act that desecrates the almighty father sushi will never be tolerated

[04:21:39] i blame you instead of sushi it's almost time to be judged by sushi

[04:21:53] this boss fight is actually hard. If anything goes wrong, I probably just die.

[04:21:58] But nothing's gonna go wrong... something went wrong.

[04:22:10] Hopefully there are sushi over here. So while I've been down here he's been spawning a bunch of obstacles, which is going to be...

[04:22:14] Holy moly!

[04:22:15] Yeah none of the- oh no that's... I mean you almost pulled it back too.

[04:22:24] I think technically this could be the fastest boss fight, but also it's really hard.

[04:22:30] He shoots like giant freaking pillars of light at you and stuff! Like that right there!

[04:22:35] There we go, that's how I'm supposed to play.

[04:22:50] Wonderful! You showed your love for sushi with your actions. Although our beliefs are different,

[04:22:51] Our hearts seek salvation in sushi.

[04:22:57] The path you took was the same as mine.

[04:23:03] Let's continue to believe in sushi and praise sushi together!

[04:23:09] May the blessings of S upon our departing neighbors.

[04:23:15] Yeah, the audio for the person in this universe is significantly louder than anyone else's dialing the game for just no reason

[04:23:22] you're just screaming into the microphone all right there's last world over there we don't have

[04:23:26] enough uh sushi souls we're gonna do some extra levels so actually actually, time for

[04:23:32] a couple more donations then!

[04:23:34] Amazing well you keep hunting

[04:23:36] sushi on your end and I will

[04:23:38] train going here we have

[04:23:40] $10 from imgoingtodieif i don't eat sushi who simply says

[04:24:29] He likes to airshot me out of the air for some reason

[04:24:33] Wasn't Sushi Guns in the last universe?

[04:24:38] The serenity of his face.

[04:24:41] He's very focused, is that what Sushi Salvation was like?

[04:24:45] Ascending through a universe cool all right we're going back to

[04:24:49] the arms sushi universe oh boy here we go finally back into our universe.

[04:24:57] With the power of the Sushi Souls you have collected,

[04:24:59] let's restore the concept of sushi that has become a weapon to its original state!

[04:25:04] Thanks to you, sushi in this universe will be saved!

[04:25:08] Thank you very much.

[04:25:10] Dead.

[04:25:26] Sushi is not food. What an ironic fate, the last person standing in front of me who has always hated sushi.

[04:25:30] I never thought that my other self who loved sushi was my enemy.

[04:25:35] Hey, another beef! The fight ends here! The time has come for the imp-

[04:25:36] No wait, that's not my line.

[04:25:41] Don't judge yourself why on earth is this happening if you're like me there's no other reason you don't like sushi

[04:25:45] oh come on look at universe there's no way anyone could like sushi man my hometown was burned by sushi

[04:25:54] my older brother the only one in the family got sushi stuck

[04:25:57] in his body sushi is the worst weapon with the miraculous power i was given on

[04:26:04] the brink of death i saw sushi from other multiverses

[04:26:08] food sports technology god yes the concept is different but sushi was loved in every universe

[04:26:17] Cannot forgive there are countless types of sushi that continue to be loved i will not allow this multiverse

[04:26:26] my only purpose is by unifying the concept of sushi through the universe's as

[04:26:30] arms i will make the entire universe deny

[04:26:34] the existence of sushi

[04:26:39] sushi reflect reflect Reflect on it!

[04:26:46] You said eat sushi. That's good, I'll feed you plenty

[04:26:52] Oh wait that is your line

[04:26:57] The strongest sushi in the universe! Time to get burned

[04:27:00] to death by Sush!

[04:27:03] ... What? Gameplay.

[04:27:05] There we go.

[04:27:07] I tried to die quickly,

[04:27:09] I was not gonna die unfortunately.

[04:27:11] Alright,

[04:27:13] We're dead.

[04:27:16] I win! The whole universe! It's time to sweat it out with sushi

[04:27:40] it's time to execute the sushi function it's almost time to be judged by sushi

[04:27:52] why who are you guys here saving the maximum firepower of sushi

[04:27:56] why are you alive

[04:28:08] it's easy sushi is fun i completely understand sushi that's a natural result.

[04:28:09] Sushi is always good and cannot take someone's life,

[04:28:11] I believe so!

[04:28:16] That's it!

[04:28:25] It's still you. that's it must be delicious

[04:28:29] dear sushi lover i believed in you You're a seriously lover.

[04:28:30] I believed in you.

[04:28:32] Yeah!

[04:28:35] Whether it's sports, technology, God or weapons

[04:28:38] It doesn't matter.

[04:28:41] Ali... other weapons. It doesn't matter. I'll eat all the

[04:28:43] sushi! Woohoo!

[04:28:45] It's time

[04:28:47] to bring back sushi!

[04:28:49] Yeah!

[04:28:54] Alright, cool. We get control for like five seconds and we go back to cutscenes

[04:28:56] so... that was fun

[04:29:00] Good evening I'm Frank Disadvance Gaming.

[04:29:05] I'm practicing. If this happens, I'll become a weapon myself!

[04:29:09] Then we too...

[04:29:11] will be the hope

[04:29:14] So this is a final boss of the games The time is coming up when the finals sushi soul appears, so we're infused with that power of the different multiverses

[04:29:22] Of ourselves.

[04:29:23] So we have different abilities

[04:29:24] we're going to get as we go through this boss fight

[04:29:26] We are just kicking these guys

[04:29:30] Oh, there's a guy! Hi!

[04:29:32] Stop doing that

[04:29:34] Cool.

[04:29:41] So now we have the power to sushi convert, so you turn green sushi into normal sushi.

[04:29:46] Once we've converted enough of these, next phase of the boss fight happens.

[04:29:49] Some more hopefully soon...

[04:29:59] There we go! So he spawns here and we get the last power which is to deflect his projectiles. But if you put them right in front of him it immediately gets blocked.

[04:30:04] And uh... you do this so time is coming up we have one more cutie here

[04:30:14] if the bash a whole bunch.

[04:30:17] And...

[04:30:21] and.... I forgot it was this long!

[04:30:25] Time! I forgot it was this long time.

[04:30:33] All right, unfortunately we probably do not have enough time to watch this cutscene because it's like six minutes long.

[04:30:41] In true anime ending fashion.

[04:30:44] So y'all will have to buy the game if you want to see whatever is happening on the screen right now. But thank you to everyone on my couch

[04:30:48] for putting all this effort into voice acting this,

[04:30:51] we appreciate it a whole bunch

[04:30:54] and with that,

[04:30:56] we're gonna sign off.

[04:30:57] Thank you all for all of the donations

[04:30:58] and the 700K, hitting that right

[04:31:00] before the run was really cool so

[04:31:01] keep donating, keep supporting the marathon

[04:31:04] Let's go sushi!

[04:31:07] Let's go sushi!

[04:31:11] Alright Hey what's up everyone? I'm Amarlyn.

[04:31:13] Um...I'm dressed like a Zumbini

[04:31:15] That's why I painted my face blue

[04:31:17] This is totally normal for me to do so don't worry about it

[04:31:19] On my couch i have monkey man air angel pork chop most people just know me as

[04:31:24] ivan excellent so you might be wondering what full randomizes normally i'm allowed to pick

[04:31:28] my grooves and beanies but for gdq i offered to just hit the rando button and let it roll.

[04:31:32] This makes it way harder than I anticipated.

[04:31:35] I genuinely wasn't sure how hard it was going to be.

[04:31:38] There's a few things that get extremely difficult.

[04:31:41] Before I start this, I want to shout out From Dark To Light There's a few things that get extremely difficult.

[04:31:42] Before I start this,

[04:31:43] I just want to shout out from DarkHell really fast.

[04:31:45] He fully decompiled this game

[04:31:47] and let me look into all the RNG for it

[04:31:50] so I actually understand

[04:31:51] a little bit better of what's going on.

[04:31:52] I'm gonna explain some things, and then these three are just here to either roast me or be very nice to me depending on what they feel like.

[04:31:59] So with that said let's get started in 3...2...1...go!

[04:32:07] Alright. So I've randomized my full crew. This first part is allergic bridges.

[04:32:12] Basically the bridges pick one thing that they're allergic

[04:32:15] to. One bridge only

[04:32:17] allows that thing through. The other bridge

[04:32:19] lets everything else. Okay, so it's...

[04:32:22] Uh...

[04:32:23] Okay, so the problem is it's randomized.

[04:32:26] So might be eyes at this point?

[04:32:29] This is the most fascinating gameplay you've ever seen in your life.

[04:32:33] The top bridge is two seconds faster person than we knew,

[04:32:36] which is why I'm really hoping that the top bridge is it.

[04:32:39] Critical thinking skills chat, let's go.

[04:32:43] Okay, oh, it's here, okay, nevermind.

[04:32:46] Great, we have only a few baldies out here

[04:32:50] so I can send them across the bottom bridge

[04:32:52] That's not bald bro

[04:32:54] Okay they got a little sprig

[04:32:56] More than I got.

[04:32:58] All right.

[04:33:00] So...

[04:33:01] You get a bridge to yourself, bro?

[04:33:02] That's awesome.

[04:33:03] While we're waiting for the Zumbinis

[04:33:04] to cross the bridge,

[04:33:05] Quacksilver,

[04:33:05] do you have any quick donations

[04:33:07] for us? Absolutely, and this is where i

[04:33:08] confess to my age somewhat because i'm not sure if there's a cadence on here i have a five dollar

[04:33:13] donation from chantilly that says hip-hip zumbini can i get your best hip-hip zoom beanie so

[04:33:19] i have a template absolutely hip-hip zoom beanie

[04:33:27] they liked it.

[04:33:28] That was good.

[04:33:29] I really liked it.

[04:33:30] Alright, you also have to not click too fast otherwise these beanies will get left behind which sucks.

[04:33:36] This is basically the same thing as allergic bridges.

[04:33:38] One of these...oh thank bridges one of these fast one. Okay, one of these middle rocks is

[04:33:45] Will never let anything through so you just go there

[04:33:48] And the other one will let it through

[04:33:51] The ones on the side do the same thing as the bridges

[04:33:53] They pick one thing they're allergic to

[04:33:55] and they never let it through

[04:33:57] So, might be feet at this point

[04:34:03] Don't be shy if he knocks this okay it's not

[04:34:12] oh it's green nose okay that's perfect i can just put that guy there. Yeah, so with a preset crew it's actually

[04:34:16] a lot faster to figure this out because they generally all have the same attribute minus like one or two

[04:34:20] things.

[04:34:26] How's this going for all y'all watching me? Be smarter than roughly a second grader?

[04:34:29] Dude, you're doing way better than my young cousin I'll tell ya right now.

[04:34:32] I hope I didn't just screw myself up. I gotta let this play. way better than my young cousin i'll tell you right now

[04:34:41] whatever you are,

[04:34:43] make me a pizza!

[04:34:46] Alright.

[04:34:47] What are you, Monkey Man?

[04:34:48] We do have pizza.

[04:34:56] Oh my god!

[04:34:58] No way!

[04:34:59] What?

[04:35:03] That literally never happens.

[04:35:07] Nothing but skill, baby.

[04:35:11] Wowsers! That's wild.

[04:35:16] Incredible, alright.

[04:35:17] That is unfathomable.

[04:35:18] We're taking the top route

[04:35:19] The bottom one is bad

[04:35:20] Don't ask me why

[04:35:22] I hate doing it

[04:35:22] This is

[04:35:24] He still can do it

[04:35:25] This is...

[04:35:28] This is who's Bayou, okay?

[04:35:32] It's- this is normally really easy if you go with a preset group.

[04:35:36] But the problem is I have to find all of the attributes that...

[04:35:36] Zungidis have to sit next to something with a common attribute.

[04:35:40] It doesn't matter what it is, just has to be one thing.

[04:35:43] He said he didn't care though.

[04:35:48] Am I still up there?

[04:35:50] Ah, sure!

[04:35:55] This guy's so sassy

[04:35:56] I love him.

[04:36:00] It's gonna be a problem...

[04:36:01] Nope! Wait!

[04:36:03] Sure!

[04:36:05] He says sure!

[04:36:07] Lies.

[04:36:08] Lies and slander.

[04:36:09] Yep, there we go!

[04:36:10] Okay, whew!

[04:36:12] Wow, good job dude that is tougher than it looks.

[04:36:15] Alright, all done then.

[04:36:17] We've got Ariel Joel on couch who going to bring us some frog facts.

[04:36:20] Oh boy, well I focus really hard on this actually

[04:36:24] Frog Facts... you know when I was like

[04:36:28] five I genuinely thought frogs

[04:36:30] actually came from flowers.

[04:36:32] Um, yeah

[04:36:34] I know one can dream okay Twitch chat?

[04:36:36] That'd be cool as heck though. Yeah it's true.

[04:36:38] I mean that is more of a fact about myself but um

[04:36:42] turns out i don't really know a whole lot about frogs outside

[04:36:45] of uh that they don't in fact come from flowers which

[04:36:54] well i don't have frog facts. I do have donations if you need to make the tag.

[04:36:56] Yes, thank you.

[04:36:58] Absolutely!

[04:37:00] I have $10 here from Bravest3mo who says, this donation is from my fifth grade self. Here's hoping Runner can get to the end of the pizza level before recess is over.

[04:37:13] Apparently so!

[04:37:16] Amazing.

[04:37:17] I also have $10 here from

[04:37:19] Bocelli who says,

[04:37:21] It's the best to wake up to silly block

[04:37:23] the morning brain fog mixes so well with the gaming shenanigans

[04:37:29] i will say i've been doing a lot of practice i really haven't gotten

[04:37:33] a like immediate pizza in forever.

[04:37:35] Dude, we got all this pizza here

[04:37:37] now though.

[04:37:38] Alright, we got breakfast sorted.

[04:37:41] Oh, thank you.

[04:37:43] There's two.

[04:37:44] Okay, so the way this works really fast

[04:37:45] just so I can explain it while we keep

[04:37:47] rolling on various things is

[04:37:49] they create

[04:37:51] paths across the things and you

[04:37:53] only reuse each frog twice, which means I have to be very careful about where

[04:37:59] I'm placing my frogs because otherwise they'll just get stuck in an infinite loop and not actually

[04:38:03] able to finish getting across,

[04:38:06] then I lose as a Zumbini.

[04:38:08] And the category is done.

[04:38:10] Thankfully I have backup in case we lose the category

[04:38:13] but don't worry, we should never get there.

[04:38:15] Where was 4? Was this four?

[04:38:16] And before you leave, look in the top left and bottom right.

[04:38:19] These are Giganto frogs.

[04:38:20] It's easy to miss it.

[04:38:21] These things are beanies.

[04:38:23] I was wondering where those beanies actually were.

[04:38:26] They're like little guys down there.

[04:38:28] Yeah, they're just little guys.

[04:38:30] So this is the prequel to Pikmin.

[04:38:32] Yeah, this is the manga fauna.

[04:38:34] Okay, that was actually surprisingly good frogs

[04:38:36] I'm not going to lie

[04:38:37] getting everything across roughly That was actually surprisingly good frogs, I'm not gonna lie.

[04:38:38] Getting everything across roughly in the same category?

[04:38:41] Pretty good.

[04:38:46] This one is another one that's made harder by The Randomizer

[04:38:48] Thank you Twitch chat for donating

[04:38:49] for that! Again, normally everything kind of matches

[04:38:53] and it's really easy to get through but in here

[04:38:57] they have to match specific attributes which you can see on the thing between them.

[04:39:02] Nope that guy doesn't match any eyes...

[04:39:06] Oh also if you miss it, they get electrocuted.

[04:39:09] I mean of of course.

[04:39:10] Shows violence this morning.

[04:39:12] Okay, I'm off.

[04:39:13] So I need...

[04:39:15] Sorry, little Timmy,

[04:39:15] you got the logic puzzle wrong.

[04:39:17] Your zimbini pet

[04:39:18] just got electrocuted.

[04:39:21] Uh, I need a hair match...

[04:39:27] Gosh, the amount of anxiety I have right now!

[04:39:30] Oh, I don't have any sleepy eyes. Okay, wait, do you have sleepy eyes?

[04:39:32] No.

[04:39:33] They already matched on that one.

[04:39:34] Oh my god!

[04:39:35] This is where it gets difficult.

[04:39:37] You got this.

[04:39:40] Oops!

[04:39:58] Let me just electrocute that one. Doesn't matter. at this All these on here. So everything does eventually work, I just have to figure out a way

[04:40:04] to get there. Crack that brain, big boss man!

[04:40:08] Look at this. So it has like softlock prevention?

[04:40:12] Yeah, everything does eventually work

[04:40:17] While you juggle Zimbinis can I offer

[04:40:19] some love from your community? Please

[04:40:21] This one's stressing me out

[04:40:23] Absolutely I have

[04:40:25] 104 times 2

[04:40:28] that is $208

[04:40:29] from Evinosaurus Rex.

[04:40:39] They say first try pizza.

[04:40:41] Locked in, get it twisted.

[04:40:43] Locked in, get it twisted.

[04:40:45] Come on big dog.

[04:40:46] You can do anything.

[04:40:47] Do anything.

[04:40:48] The world is your playground.

[04:40:49] World is your playground.

[04:40:53] I also have $50 here from Artea who says,

[04:40:55] shout out to my boy Amarlin.

[04:40:57] I remember him talking to me about wanting to do Zoombities for ages

[04:40:59] and I'm so glad to see

[04:41:01] him smashing it.

[04:41:03] Thank you, Tom.

[04:41:04] Very much appreciate it in this trying time

[04:41:12] i wish i could offer you like any assistance from back here but trust me i i wish we could too bro i'm trying i'm really trying got time for one more absolutely this is gonna oh wait wait old old let's go

[04:41:25] so that's what the randomizer does by way that's why that's so hard

[04:41:30] also i had zoom meetings parked at those

[04:41:32] in case i flubbed anything at any point

[04:41:34] uh don't worry about it

[04:41:38] all right

[04:41:38] uh this one this puzzle is actually easy you just organize them and nose All right.

[04:41:39] This puzzle is actually easy, you just organize them in nose order.

[04:41:42] It's on the Sphinx there.

[04:41:45] Of course.

[04:41:47] I think we have time for a couple of donuts while we rack this up, yeah?

[04:41:50] Yeah.

[04:41:51] Absolutely!

[04:41:52] I have $25 here from Lazarus who says,

[04:41:55] FLEENS?!

[04:41:56] You're not fleens!

[04:41:59] Whoever you are, make me a pizza!

[04:42:02] Love zoom beanies as a kid. Glad to see it at GDQ

[04:42:07] Bottom right top left? Bottom right of the mirrors?

[04:42:10] Nah Different nose color this is why he's up there

[04:42:17] dude eight-year old me would be such a big help right now top right second

[04:42:21] too bad 30 yearold me is dumb.

[04:42:25] Get my true education from Zubinis?

[04:42:27] Oh yeah. Absolutely.

[04:42:28] There are definitely children out there

[04:42:31] who are like, yo I played Zoombinis in my elementary school.

[04:42:35] This guy's a moron.

[04:42:39] There we go.

[04:42:40] So again this is really easy with the preset groups. You just look for a specific set of attributes and it gets way simpler

[04:42:47] Yeah NASA scientists will see you do it with random Zoombini's

[04:42:50] I am doing it with random Zoombinis

[04:42:52] I'm not talking about you! I'm talking about the guy who's saying you're immoral!

[04:42:55] Yeah, second grader whose fake tits are so easy. Let's see you do it.

[04:42:58] The children NASA scientist?

[04:43:00] Yeah!

[04:43:01] The judgemental children scientist?

[04:43:02] Yeah what's that kid from Big Bang Theory?

[04:43:04] The Zynga Guy. no that's the game oh

[04:43:13] so by the way the brakes are fully off on this. If a Zoombini whiffs it at

[04:43:18] this point that's not my fault. You know accidents happen baby.

[04:43:24] I actually can't get another Zoombini past this point, that's why I had all of them lined up at the various checkpoints.

[04:43:32] Thank you for your service, goodbye.

[04:43:34] There's gotta be people in Twitch who are screaby at me right now.

[04:43:37] Nah man, they're all like this dude is a wizard.

[04:43:41] This guy from Mensa? He's killing it.

[04:43:45] Is Mensa still a thing? I think so.

[04:43:48] Supposedly. Nope, that's not it.

[04:43:56] Where is the other one while I was...

[04:44:01] This is the craziest picture day I've ever seen.

[04:44:04] For real, for real.

[04:44:11] Except that the photographer messes up, you fall into a pit of despair. Yeah! So actually what happens is that crystal doesn't go down and they slam into it and die.

[04:44:15] Oh!

[04:44:17] Hey life comes at you fast.

[04:44:20] At least you have your hair looking good.

[04:44:22] Thanks mom.

[04:44:26] Here we go...

[04:44:35] ... Yeah, this one. Wanna do a couple townhouses?

[04:44:37] Yeah Quack let's do a couple more while I'm finishing it off.

[04:44:39] This gets way easier now that there are fewer of them around.

[04:44:42] I'm going to tell my niece and nephew this is the Ark of the Covenant.

[04:44:49] Oh no, I got distracted and didn't look at you.

[04:44:55] Sorry! Well, maybe here's a donation that will help motivate you i have fifty dollars here from captain stitches who says

[04:44:58] worry not for those left behind they'll make their way back to safety.

[04:45:04] Wait!

[04:45:05] Amaryllon's not going to abandon poor sweet innocent Zubidis right?

[04:45:09] I would never.

[04:45:10] Right?!

[04:45:12] Never forgive him. Alright, so this is the

[04:45:13] final level.

[04:45:15] There's always one...

[04:45:17] This is a bubble path.

[04:45:19] There's always one bubble path

[04:45:21] that will instantly kill some attribute it was meaning so to do

[04:45:26] it marathon safe i'm gonna do the one that kills them first

[04:45:31] wait but you said you'd never i I would never, so...

[04:45:35] You see that little vortex right above here?

[04:45:38] If a non-twin tuft goes that way they die immediately.

[04:45:45] Okay. goes that way, they die immediately. Okay... I need to do...

[04:45:47] This is an aggressive way to teach children how to

[04:45:49] not ponytail. I don't know, do a maze? What

[04:45:51] is this?

[04:45:53] You have consequences of your actions.

[04:45:56] Survival mission impossible.

[04:45:58] All right, kiddo.

[04:45:59] If you float the puzzle, one of your 16 Blorbos just dies.

[04:46:03] No pressure.

[04:46:05] This is the fourth grade

[04:46:08] all right i need to do something and then not ponytail

[04:46:15] because they dodged that right there.

[04:46:19] Also, if they bonk into each other, they die.

[04:46:22] By the way I should mention that. That's why I'm being very careful with this.

[04:46:26] I mean...this could maybe That's why I'm being very careful with this.

[04:46:28] I mean, this could...

[04:46:31] Maybe PB just because of the pizza alone man.

[04:46:35] No my PB is like 9 minutes.

[04:46:37] We missed that a while ago.

[04:46:39] What'd you do in the 9 minute one then?

[04:46:42] I just walked up and slapped the troll off his stomach and walked away.

[04:46:46] I'm pretty sure my PB did have, like... first try trolls.

[04:46:51] So then you were lying to us earlier when you said that was the first time you'd ever gotten a 1PB.

[04:46:54] Oh no.

[04:46:56] Whew!

[04:46:58] Black ships passing in the night.

[04:47:00] Yeah, broke.

[04:47:02] Okay, once we get past a certain point

[04:47:05] We're good because then we don't have

[04:47:07] I need to do a knot ponytail

[04:47:10] While were in the victory lap,

[04:47:12] I have a question here from someone donating if you've got the time.

[04:47:15] I've got so much time.

[04:47:17] Amazing! We've got $50 dollars here from Dr. Valentine who says

[04:47:20] Zumbini's was a huge part of my childhood

[04:47:23] it's still my favorite edutainment game

[04:47:25] where else can you help an exodus

[04:47:27] of enslaved blueberries reach the

[04:47:29] promised land through logic puzzles i do have a question if i wanted to start

[04:47:35] speed running zoom beanies is there a community i could join uh no well okay Uh, no. Well, okay...

[04:47:43] To be clear, I don't know!

[04:47:47] But I do want to actually shout out the one runner who really inspired me

[04:47:50] to start this. His name is Danzel Glovington.

[04:47:53] Shout out to him, his runs are

[04:47:55] truly incredible! He's definitely the goat

[04:47:57] of running this game. I think

[04:47:59] he's got World Record in a bunch of categories

[04:48:01] So just ask Dan, honestly.

[04:48:04] Yeah. Oh I missed the

[04:48:05] twin puffed here. But yeah

[04:48:08] just go to speedrun.com and look up

[04:48:10] the world records and just start doing it.

[04:48:12] That's what I did.

[04:48:16] Okay. and just start doing it. That's what I did. You yourself can lock in

[04:48:17] and go to a sleeper.

[04:48:18] Yeah, you could absolutely

[04:48:19] lock in.

[04:48:22] Okay, this one should go

[04:48:23] up

[04:48:24] and then it's not a pony tail. Uh oh.

[04:48:26] We're probably fine?

[04:48:31] UGH! Ohhhhhhh!

[04:48:38] It never worked.

[04:48:42] Alright, so that's it we just gotta roll this to the end

[04:48:44] I also have to wait on clicking the final button because otherwise

[04:48:47] uh it doesn't count the 16 zoom beaties so we're just going to roll this out at

[04:48:51] the end y'all got anything to say that's right having me that donna made

[04:48:55] me think that they get to like zumbini villa whatever

[04:48:58] there's one of the magical technicolor dream coat let my beanies go and time absolute killer run man that was

[04:49:14] honestly like i was not expecting that.

[04:49:18] Dude we had so much pizza already!

[04:49:21] So many leftovers.

[04:49:22] As soon as they cut our mics, I'm going to town.

[04:49:25] So yeah this counts up to 400 Zumbinis,

[04:49:28] That's what the 4% is about, we got 16 of them here. So yeah, this counts up to 400 Zoombinis.

[04:49:29] That's what the 4% is about.

[04:49:30] We got 16 of them here.

[04:49:33] They get little houses and stuff over time.

[04:49:36] You can go play Zoombinis for yourself.

[04:49:37] It's pretty accessible today. Yeah, shout out to

[04:49:40] Tom Artia who donated

[04:49:42] Shoutout to Ensemble

[04:49:44] Danzel Glovington thank you for inspiring me

[04:49:46] Shoutout to my parents who might be watching

[04:49:48] I don't know hi what's up uh my wife who's back there and sorry who

[04:49:53] my wife and everybody from the community for watching this first shot pizza let's go

[04:50:03] keep watching gdq and keep going to that pokemon run i'll see

[04:50:12] wow can't believe we're actually doing this okay good! Good morning everybody! I am Jaxler and it is my distinct

[04:50:14] displeasure to be bringing you some Stuart Little 2

[04:50:16] at any percent or as I like

[04:50:18] to call it, Stuart in the Secret Rings

[04:50:20] No! Or as I like to call it, we have mario 64 at home so if you've

[04:50:24] never seen this game before this is a 3d collect-a-thon platformer that was

[04:50:28] released on the ps1 and like 2002 which is after the PS2 came

[04:50:33] out. So that's funny.

[04:50:35] This game is a piece of work

[04:50:37] I will just put it that way but before we get into

[04:50:39] that... Well actually this is a great time

[04:50:41] to mention that you're gonna. While we go through introductions,

[04:50:44] this demo is going to completely desync and stop working.

[04:50:47] Would you please introduce yourselves friends?

[04:50:50] Alright so my name is Astani

[04:50:52] I have watched this guy play this game far too many times, and I don't know why but here

[04:50:58] we are.

[04:50:59] I'm also on a 24 hour uptime here so I'm feeling pretty good.

[04:51:06] I'm Helix.

[04:51:07] I have watched this guy play this game like, I don't know, once two years ago

[04:51:10] and then never again because when I asked him to do

[04:51:11] commentary he said yes. He told me I wasn't allowed to look

[04:51:13] at this game, so I'm going in blind.

[04:51:16] I'm Cabasco.

[04:51:17] I've also never seen him play his game

[04:51:19] and we're all on no sleep except for Jaxer.

[04:51:23] So there's gonna be a difference.

[04:51:24] Jaxer's the only responsible one

[04:51:25] and that's okay because he has

[04:51:26] Well I don't know if playing Stuart Little too for the PS1

[04:51:28] is responsible

[04:51:30] but

[04:51:31] The jury is still out on that one

[04:51:33] Alright so we're gonna go ahead

[04:51:34] and start hopping into the game

[04:51:35] But time's not gonna start right away.

[04:51:37] It's as soon I gain control of Stuart in like the first sort-of tutorial area.

[04:51:41] You're going to notice these loading screens are very funny. Alright, 3...2...1...

[04:51:45] Go! 3, 2, 1, go!

[04:51:48] So the game lets us just skip the tutorial which is awesome.

[04:51:52] The rat doesn't need any training. He's got this. Stuart is prepared

[04:51:56] Oh yeah. And so just like any good 3D

[04:51:59] collectible phone platformer, we're going to start with

[04:52:01] an auto-scroller within the first 15 seconds

[04:52:03] of the run. I thought this wasn't good though.

[04:52:07] Yeah, so this is like...

[04:52:09] This part is comically easy.

[04:52:13] So we're just gonna be vibing here and I'm probably going to skip a lot of these stars.

[04:52:17] So we can salute the sun during here are you okay back oh i don't know

[04:52:24] what do you mean we're stewing back here this is story little none of us are okay

[04:52:31] so it's actually really funny because like there

[04:52:33] There were so many meme memorable moments

[04:52:37] But at the same time this game has tech

[04:52:40] You're not seeing any of it right now because

[04:52:41] this part of the game sucks.

[04:52:42] I thought that panic goes through already happens!

[04:52:44] Photography is taking a picture of this, thank you Billy.

[04:52:47] Oh my goodness Are you yelling at me for missing one of the, like, bajillion stars here?

[04:53:02] Okay.

[04:53:03] Thanks, everybody.

[04:53:03] Look, if it were me, I would have missed way more.

[04:53:06] All right.

[04:53:07] So that's going to give us our first jeweled ring.

[04:53:08] We're going to take a spider bite from a black widow right here.

[04:53:11] One of the big things about this run is

[04:53:13] doing deathwarp, so I'm going to be taking

[04:53:15] damage over the course of the run in order

[04:53:17] for you sort of set up some deathwarps here

[04:53:19] You're also just going to notice that

[04:53:21] every time Stuart does his double jump, it's one

[04:53:24] of the worst things you will ever hear in your entire life.

[04:53:27] It sounds like he is being punched in the gut.

[04:53:35] That's what watching his run feels like so far.

[04:53:39] Emotionally, that's what it's like for him on this game at a high level.

[04:53:43] From whatever it's about, that's what it feels like they're in it but uh yeah

[04:53:54] it's very good!

[04:53:56] The repressed memories of watching you run this game two years ago are flooding back.

[04:54:02] Alright so to give you a kind of rundown on some of the rings that we are collecting.

[04:54:07] The Jeweled Rings, as Tor will call them

[04:54:11] multiple times over this next 30 minutes of hell

[04:54:15] You can get them by doing those mini minigames or there's a couple others that have like special requirements.

[04:54:20] We're gonna go get the secret one right here and I'm going to ask everyone to be quiet for this beautiful voice line.

[04:54:24] Aha! I have the hidden treasure! Yo ho ho, and a bottle of milk? Milk.

[04:54:32] Classic.

[04:54:34] Alright so first major skip of the run, I'm gonna do a coyote time jump just to get over here.

[04:54:39] Nice we hit it. That's not that bad but if you're not paying attention then you just fall and it's embarrassing.

[04:54:44] Oh boy!

[04:54:45] Oh boy!

[04:54:46] Nothing else here is as embarrassing.

[04:54:48] Alright so now we are going into the aeroplane. at the point of the flight. Nothing else here is embarrassing.

[04:54:48] Alright, so now we're going into

[04:54:49] uh...the aeroplane here and

[04:54:51] so, uh...

[04:54:53] Raskin Flux?

[04:54:54] Yeah!

[04:54:55] Legendary Jackson clip if you know

[04:54:56] you know.

[04:54:58] I don't know!

[04:55:00] We are not going to elaborate...

[04:55:02] No one can elaborate on that.

[04:55:04] You know, you know. The real ones

[04:55:06] know, but...

[04:55:07] I'm so vaporized.

[04:55:09] Yeah, so know right?

[04:55:13] So this plane...I'll just go ahead and spoil this right now

[04:55:15] the vehicle sections in this game on average

[04:55:17] not good

[04:55:21] But that one is actually decent. That one is actually

[04:55:23] okay to control. We're going to see one in the next

[04:55:25] level, Central Park. So in order to beat this

[04:55:27] game you need 30 out of the 36

[04:55:29] jeweled rings in order to beat the game. Those are like, the stars in your Mario 64 right?

[04:55:33] Yeah!

[04:55:34] So we're able to skip six of the slowest ones.

[04:55:36] Wait, guys I saw you skip a cutscene

[04:55:39] was that pre-rendered movie cutscene

[04:55:41] that you just did? Yes. Oh my god.

[04:55:43] And it's in below 144p, it's incredible.

[04:55:47] If you're gonna come and lander estimate can you take

[04:55:51] two seconds to let one of those play a little bit i

[04:55:53] can look well i can let the ending cutscene play

[04:55:55] if it's cool with the producer because i don't know if it's going to get flagged

[04:55:58] for copyright oh because remember this is a movie

[04:56:01] tie-in game so it's one of those kinds of situations yeah the clips are

[04:56:04] actually from the movies which is um okay yeah that's not my golf all right so this

[04:56:10] is the first time we're going to see us pick up these face blocks so something i'm out that's good i needed

[04:56:16] to take damage but sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't um so something i'm gonna be

[04:56:21] doing is speed tech over the course of this is like whenever i'm landing for

[04:56:25] the most part with some exceptions i'm going to be doing this spin attack as

[04:56:29] i land back on the ground because like stewart just kind of like takes a minute

[04:56:33] to like catch his footing whenever he lands on the ground but i can actually

[04:56:36] like continue with the run button once i land on the ground and so we're gonna be collecting

[04:56:41] a couple of these let me be very clear cat biscuits I know they look like goldfish but no

[04:56:47] They are legally distinct cat biscuits

[04:56:49] Okay

[04:56:51] That will become important in a little bit

[04:56:53] And now we're going into

[04:56:56] We're driving a boat!

[04:56:57] We're driving a boat, and this boat

[04:57:00] I would like to argue is maybe one of the worst

[04:57:03] vehicle sections in a video game I have ever played

[04:57:06] If you know the kind of games

[04:57:08] that should concern

[04:57:10] you, this thing takes like

[04:57:12] full second to start turning

[04:57:14] It's really bad

[04:57:16] You know, I like joke on this game a lot, it's not as bad

[04:57:20] as i'm probably going to joke about it but this vehicle

[04:57:23] section is actually just the worst and the worst part is that

[04:57:26] its fast so we have to do

[04:57:28] all the vehicle sections

[04:57:29] and on-rails bits

[04:57:31] because they happen

[04:57:32] to be faster

[04:57:33] than playing

[04:57:34] the fun parts of the game

[04:57:35] which is why

[04:57:35] Hundo is the

[04:57:37] category

[04:57:37] but

[04:57:37] here's what it'd be.

[04:57:43] I know it is in fact the greatest category of any speedrun ever and it's not close to more voice lines, It's just beauty on it.

[04:57:51] Modern art and motion, although

[04:57:53] how modern is that anymore?

[04:57:55] Although the interesting thing though about

[04:57:57] Any% is like because we're not getting everything

[04:57:59] there are some cool skits and stuff that

[04:58:01] we can do. But all of those are in the late

[04:58:03] game so we're just going to be kind of memeing it up here

[04:58:05] for the first little bit. We'll go over a

[04:58:07] little bit of routing as we make our way

[04:58:09] through here. So it's going to look like I'm coming close to time,

[04:58:12] even though

[04:58:14] it looks like I don't...I'm not gonna

[04:58:16] make it on time. The finish

[04:58:18] line is just going to pop into here because the draw

[04:58:20] distance is so horrible.

[04:58:24] So we're going to get another jewelry.

[04:58:25] No one

[04:58:31] is saying this.

[04:58:33] None are saying this. None are saying this.

[04:58:35] Alright, so you saw me get what's called a restart point

[04:58:37] It's just a checkpoint

[04:58:39] I don't know why they call it like that

[04:58:41] But we're gonna do a lot in this run is do deathwarp's in order to cut back on backtracking because these are up.

[04:58:46] These love, a lot of these levels are actually pretty large to traverse and like not always wrap around each other or wraparound

[04:58:53] Back where you can kind of go at them in any angle

[04:58:56] that's the other uh my favorite voice line is just marglo with like those sounds despair

[04:59:02] and her voice being like you got a face block

[04:59:05] you're gonna hear that at least like 20 more times than this one

[04:59:08] no i'm going to be hearing this my dreams

[04:59:12] yeah yes stewart little two is real and can hurt you.

[04:59:17] Alright, so this ant is going to give us a handshake

[04:59:19] And that's gonna teleport us back to where we got that checkpoint

[04:59:23] And so what I'm doing as well

[04:59:27] anytime I grab one of these face blocks

[04:59:29] is I'm doing a spin.

[04:59:31] Um and that's really important

[04:59:33] so like right here

[04:59:35] normally whenever you grab a face block

[04:59:36] like stewart does a hard fall animation and the the margolo uh i'm very uh tired

[04:59:42] uh facebook voice line doesn't pop up until

[04:59:44] stuart is considered not busy.

[04:59:48] So by spinning, you get Stuart ready for that cutscene a bit earlier.

[04:59:51] So this is the first boss of the game.

[04:59:52] This is the bench of doom.

[04:59:54] Oh, never mind. Of course.

[04:59:56] The bench of doom.

[04:59:57] I'm actually going to take a moment just to line this up,

[04:59:59] just to make sure.

[05:00:00] The collision here is not great.

[05:00:03] Okay, we got to here.

[05:00:05] All right, that's the first boss.

[05:00:07] Nice, nice, nice.

[05:00:07] It's not a boss!

[05:00:08] This is something you don't like. No, it's a first boss. Nice! It's not a boss! Is this something you don't like?

[05:00:09] No it's a boss.

[05:00:11] Some would argue the entire game is a boss fight

[05:00:15] Yeah...

[05:00:17] We're gonna get the secret ring right here. Hence the name Stuart in the Secret Rings.

[05:00:20] Wonderful, Stuart!

[05:00:21] No, it's called a hidden ring though.

[05:00:24] A new level? Oh my god, yay!

[05:00:26] So I need to make sure that I am getting damage boosts in here.

[05:00:31] And so we're going to do a little bit of new routing.

[05:00:33] I want to shout out some of the other runners of this game, like Ryan Pointless,

[05:00:35] Vsour, and Tadishrest who have been actually

[05:00:37] despite what you're looking at here

[05:00:39] putting a lot of work into this game

[05:00:41] because even though it's a giant

[05:00:43] meme, it's actually kind of fun to run through

[05:00:45] in a weird twist of fate.

[05:00:48] I always tell people that this game has

[05:00:49] way more tech and sauce than a game of this caliber deserves to have.

[05:00:54] So huge shout-outs to them as well for, like, really, like, taking this game under their wing

[05:00:59] and, like, really kind of breathing new life into it.

[05:01:02] But these on-foot sections are pretty straightforward.

[05:01:06] The one quirk of it, you'll notice a lot...

[05:01:08] My movement is restricted to the gay pad

[05:01:12] because this is a PS1 game it lets you use like the

[05:01:15] analog stick but its eight way movement the camera is not however for some

[05:01:19] reason so what i can actually do is use like

[05:01:22] the camera stick in order to

[05:01:23] actually turn with the reasonable degrees of freedom so

[05:01:27] i can actually like try to control stewart um keyword tribe

[05:01:32] yeah key word try but they made analog movement for the camera keyword tribe. Why? Yeah, keyword tribe.

[05:01:35] They made analog movement for the camera

[05:01:36] but not restore it?

[05:01:37] Yeah,

[05:01:38] I don't know.

[05:01:39] Well they also

[05:01:40] made the game

[05:01:40] when the PS2

[05:01:41] was like available

[05:01:42] and it's for the PS1

[05:01:43] so not much forethought I don't think.

[05:01:47] While we are marveling at the design

[05:01:49] decisions, can I chime in with some commentary

[05:01:51] from donations? Go right for it!

[05:01:53] I have $50 here from flimbob84 who says,

[05:01:57] It might not be your personal favorite but I think we can all agree that Stuart Little 2 is objectively the best video game created by man.

[05:02:07] Just look at it, I think it speaks for itself.

[05:02:10] See those photorealistic graphics on the PS1?

[05:02:13] That's the ray tracing.

[05:02:15] Can we please get a

[05:02:17] $5 donation train of testimonials

[05:02:19] for how Stuart Little 2

[05:02:21] changed your life for the better?

[05:02:24] Let's make sure that Pokemon

[05:02:25] Challenge mode gets met.

[05:02:28] People have been sent.

[05:02:30] No, they haven't.

[05:02:31] They are now.

[05:02:32] Yeah, either send us a message with how this game has changed

[05:02:35] your life or your favorite Stuart Little fact? Because the

[05:02:39] Stuart Little rabbit hole

[05:02:41] goes so deep, it's

[05:02:42] slightly distressing. Yeah, did you know

[05:02:45] he's actually a human?

[05:02:47] Yeah. Also, double fun fact

[05:02:49] did you know that he owns a car and his car can go

[05:02:51] invisible?

[05:02:53] Wow! Really cool. I do have another

[05:02:55] Stuart Little facts here if there's time for more

[05:02:57] Yeah we're only in an autoscroller so go for it Amazing! I have $25 I'm going to go ahead and get some shots here if there's

[05:03:00] time for more.

[05:03:02] Amazing, I have $25 from

[05:03:04] Xcog who says did you know

[05:03:06] Stuart Little and Shadow the

[05:03:08] Hedgehog use parts of the same sound library,

[05:03:10] making the sewer level and Rude Westopolis canonically linked.

[05:03:15] No!

[05:03:18] Good luck on the run, Jax.

[05:03:20] Thanks, X-Cog. One of my best friends helped me survive grad school. You're the best.

[05:03:24] So yeah we are doing another one of these again so...

[05:03:27] Please tell me that Batcouch is also doing this!

[05:03:29] Oh yes they are!

[05:03:33] It's a bad panic coaster i can no longer see past the back couch

[05:03:38] so i wanted to give you all uh for the two two of you all who have really not seen this game.

[05:03:43] How emotionally are you doing right? Are you okay like what are your thoughts on whatever this is?

[05:03:48] No!

[05:03:50] That's a valid thought.

[05:03:51] I feel like I just spent 23 hours in the Detroit airport again.

[05:03:56] If you know, you know.

[05:03:57] If real ones know.

[05:04:00] At least three of us know.

[05:04:02] Speed it up now! Keep up!

[05:04:08] Alright, and we're out of there.

[05:04:12] I'm so glad I didn't sleep because because seeing this after staying up through all of Silly Block is perfection.

[05:04:18] I didn't think the sushi game could be topped.

[05:04:22] I don't know if I'd put this if I put this above Sushi Game,

[05:04:25] but I appreciate the comment.

[05:04:26] Sushi was really fun.

[05:04:26] Sushi Game is...

[05:04:28] All right, so the game's going to lag

[05:04:29] really hard right here,

[05:04:30] and I got the ledge grab.

[05:04:31] Okay.

[05:04:32] Sometimes the camera in the game

[05:04:33] lags so bad there

[05:04:34] that it can actually cause you to drop your

[05:04:36] ledge hang. So we're basically

[05:04:38] this is going to be the shortest level in

[05:04:40] the any% route just because

[05:04:42] like, so many of the other rings are

[05:04:44] just faster. Like, there's a couple levels that we're going to

[05:04:46] basically all but 100%.

[05:04:48] I have the hidden treasure!

[05:04:51] Yo ho ho and a bottle of it!

[05:04:53] Milk?

[05:04:54] He sounds so scared about milk!

[05:04:57] He's terrified.

[05:04:59] So am I, eh?

[05:05:01] Yeah, so if y'all like autoscrollers we're going in for another one

[05:05:04] Uh, so this is like a-a

[05:05:06] Like, I would call it a real shooter, but you're kind of just

[05:05:08] chilling in one spot

[05:05:09] Just like... So here's

[05:05:12] the funny thing. I've been playing

[05:05:14] this game in some way shape or form

[05:05:16] since I was five

[05:05:17] so I'm like

[05:05:18] unbelievably cracked at this for

[05:05:21] no particular reason.

[05:05:22] Like I just have all the things memorized and I guess

[05:05:25] you know it comes with the territory because I guess

[05:05:26] I've been running the game for a while. But like... You guys.

[05:05:29] I just have this psychic sense of

[05:05:31] oh, this is exactly where it needs to go.

[05:05:35] The psychic

[05:05:35] sense of Star Little Two? Yeah.

[05:05:37] Yeah, so... He's one with stewart i yeah in order to master the rat you

[05:05:46] have to become the rest like, a mouse?

[05:05:50] Well...

[05:05:51] Oh sorry, I think she meant my bad.

[05:05:52] Yeah, he's a human! He's a human!

[05:05:53] My bad, my bad.

[05:05:54] I just think saying rat is objectively funny.

[05:05:55] Oh it is.

[05:05:58] He's a human that just looks like a mouse and acts like a mouse, but don't worry he's actually a human.

[05:06:02] Yeah!

[05:06:03] Yeah.

[05:06:04] Okay.

[05:06:05] Don't worry about it, don't question him.

[05:06:07] You know what Quackzillman? If you have Stuart fact for us, that would be a great time.

[05:06:12] I have truly so many fun Stuart facts and I'm a little scared.

[05:06:17] We've got $25 here from Hasfar who says,

[05:06:20] Fun Stuart little fact, he is 100 feet away and also real quick want to

[05:06:28] check in on that pokemon white 2 challenge mode incentive because we are so close to 75%.

[05:06:34] $15,000

[05:06:35] raise out of 20,000.

[05:06:38] So please make sure you are

[05:06:39] clicking those incentives when

[05:06:41] you donate. We appreciate it so much

[05:06:45] all right so as I'm grabbing this last ring here the the golden key ring um

[05:06:50] as thanks for being on my couch and also as a reward for...

[05:06:56] Hold on, let me load into the level.

[05:06:58] What is he doing?

[05:07:00] On the house! Congratulations you are now the proud recipient of a

[05:07:04] Stru-a little tootin'.

[05:07:05] I don't want this!

[05:07:06] Well it's your problem now.

[05:07:08] It's your prize for winning bingo.

[05:07:10] So what you're saying is that we have to take this home

[05:07:16] learn the game and then make short little two bingos.

[05:07:18] Oh no, you don't have to learn the game because

[05:07:20] this doesn't work.

[05:07:22] Thank you. Now I'm actually happy

[05:07:24] Well wait wait wait no!

[05:07:27] I gave you the cursed disc so

[05:07:29] that disc right there it works just fine

[05:07:33] except...it has these really bizarre audio bugs

[05:07:39] Oh no! these really bizarre audio bugs um oh no you were telling us about this yes that is the first disc so when's short note two bingo please stream this

[05:07:44] no i want to hear the audience all right

[05:07:47] so while we were memeing there

[05:07:48] I actually managed to hit a really tricky jump

[05:07:50] So something that I haven't talked about

[05:07:52] is controlling this game kinda sucks

[05:07:54] because whenever you're trying to do running jumps

[05:07:56] which is pretty much what you want to do...

[05:07:59] You are kind of just... It's like a super...

[05:08:03] I forget which retro game has the same thing. But it's like Castlevania where

[05:08:07] you were committed to trajectory of your jump and there is nothing

[05:08:09] you can do to control your air drift unless you do like a walking jump.

[05:08:13] It's really weird.

[05:08:14] You're so upset with the curse for this game!

[05:08:17] Are you okay?

[05:08:18] No! I think you need a broken one if you prefer that.

[05:08:20] I can turn this into a broken one.

[05:08:23] People have been saying...

[05:08:27] You found a face block!

[05:08:29] You found a faceblock! You have found a face block!

[05:08:31] My bad, you know what? So for this

[05:08:33] faceblock right here I'm actually gonna go ahead

[05:08:35] and do like a very high jump so that

[05:08:37] instead of having to do the really awful diving down

[05:08:39] into the water mechanic. The game will just

[05:08:42] put me enough

[05:08:43] into the water, and then I float to the surface.

[05:08:45] And then we're going in there skateboarding, which is actually

[05:08:47] a really fun minigame.

[05:08:49] So the way this works is that there's a bunch of stars that I have to skate through

[05:08:52] and there's a specific order I'm going to try

[05:08:54] to hit. I'm going to beef it

[05:08:56] because they suck, but

[05:08:58] it's really kind of fun to mess

[05:09:00] with in improv if you end up doing something that

[05:09:03] you weren't really expecting so. No, that's yours dude, you gotta keep that.

[05:09:06] Damn it, get out of the way for me. He gave it to you not us. That's your problem.

[05:09:17] Okay I hit the perfect side ball today!

[05:09:19] I have not hit that all week!

[05:09:21] I'll take it

[05:09:25] all right so now we're coming up on one of the harder skips in the run this is a

[05:09:29] uh a bit of a shortcut to get to uh

[05:09:32] the secret ring here a little bit faster and so we're

[05:09:35] gonna damage boost over here and this is going to be a one frame

[05:09:38] trick let me see how quickly i can get

[05:09:41] this enjoy the grunting sounds.

[05:09:45] Yeah, this trick was not cooperating with me in practice so...

[05:09:53] Come on, Stuart.

[05:09:59] I cannot hear the audio cue over all of the in general.

[05:10:04] It's just the back couch!

[05:10:07] It's not us!

[05:10:09] There it is, okay? We're so bad!

[05:10:13] Perfect tricks in Story Little 2.

[05:10:15] And that's...that's not gonna be the last one. That's like the really

[05:10:17] important one though. Um so

[05:10:19] alright, so there goes that roach

[05:10:21] Bye roach

[05:10:22] So it's funny because like

[05:10:25] The first part of the run is pretty straight forward just

[05:10:28] Optimized movement. Once you get to sewers

[05:10:30] Like, the game actually starts getting really hard

[05:10:32] Because of the skips that got found

[05:10:34] Um...the next one we're gonna

[05:10:36] Try and set up for You're going to try and set up for, so you're going to notice eventually that

[05:10:40] We are going to be 1 space block short of a full 6 that we need to construct the path

[05:10:45] And thanks to the work of the stuart little two speed running community

[05:10:49] um a skip was discovered that allows you to do it with five instead of six

[05:10:54] um and it's really hard i'm probably gonna beat it

[05:10:57] I almost just fell and lost like 30 seconds

[05:11:03] i'm just going to make sure i don't completely torch this real quick but we should be good

[05:11:08] pretty solid cycle okay we got through and then we're gonna do a foot race um with uh

[05:11:14] uh basically similar to the one that we did uh in central park at like

[05:11:17] carcara that was actually Central Park by the way. Important

[05:11:21] war bomb right there

[05:11:22] but yeah

[05:11:25] I mean there are a lot of rants in New York

[05:11:26] So as we go through this foot race

[05:11:29] here and as the game inevitably lags uh quack silver if you've

[05:11:33] got time for like one quick stewart fact quick steward facts i have five dollars from army of

[05:11:39] dragons who says fun fact this game was sometimes distributed on pc in cereal

[05:11:44] boxes that's how i played it smiley face oh what I do not win. What a horrible thing to receive after your cereal.

[05:11:54] What are you doing

[05:11:55] to people? I really hope that's a demo

[05:11:57] and not full game, because if that is full game

[05:11:59] that has irreparably changed

[05:12:01] the fate of stewardship speedrunning forever.

[05:12:04] Because this game's, like these consoles aren't that bad but

[05:12:07] being able to play this game without lag would actually make it tolerable.

[05:12:11] That sounded too crazy.

[05:12:15] Alright actual serious time here though.

[05:12:17] Yeah so this is pretty hard

[05:12:19] movement because essentially you're

[05:12:21] normally supposed to have these face blocks

[05:12:23] travel back and forth but because we're skipping one of these face blocks

[05:12:28] exactly you have to have a really long jump

[05:12:31] and you have to use all your coyote times to get that very very well executed

[05:12:36] i think in the madness we've forgotten that Jaxxler is actually just crack.

[05:12:40] Alright and were gonna pick a couple of extra lives up here

[05:12:42] for two more death warps that were going

[05:12:44] to do so um im gonna gonna go one two three we're

[05:12:47] gonna head the back alleys and for all the crap that i give this game uh mostly

[05:12:51] jokingly this level's music is a bop

[05:12:56] we can't hear it over the crunching

[05:12:57] sounds, I'm sorry. Yeah.

[05:13:00] Stuart is really

[05:13:01] putting in the work. I also just gotta mention as well

[05:13:03] like with the red sweater and like the blue

[05:13:05] t-shirt underneath, it's like he's like really trying to be mario

[05:13:09] and it's very funny i don't know i can't unsee it anymore after like someone in

[05:13:12] the practice room pointed it out to me we have mario at home yeah it's Mario 64 at home like I said.

[05:13:19] Sure. Alright so the

[05:13:21] first bit here is we're gonna

[05:13:22] basically get every ring

[05:13:24] in this level and that includes

[05:13:26] uh... So in order to get the ring

[05:13:28] that's related to these cat biscuits

[05:13:29] you need 60 out of the 80

[05:13:31] in order to trade them for Snowbell

[05:13:33] for another jeweled ring.

[05:13:34] Oh I need that one desperately.

[05:13:39] Desperately needs a cat biscuit Oh, desperately. Um... Yeah!

[05:13:40] Desperately needs a cat biscuit?

[05:13:43] Ooh!

[05:13:45] So many of these tricks are hard in their own right but they're even worse because Stuart is yapping about

[05:13:51] a jeweled ring or something and you can't

[05:13:53] use... Because it's in the way

[05:13:55] of Stuart's seat which is what you really want to use

[05:13:57] as a visual cue for like, hey where

[05:13:59] am I right now? So

[05:14:01] hitting that is really nice because it means I don't have to

[05:14:03] push the box to take out and I can use

[05:14:05] that as a platform to save a ledge grab.

[05:14:07] Not only do you start yapping about it dildering but we're over here

[05:14:09] yapping about...

[05:14:10] How else are you gonna just

[05:14:12] how else are you going to drown out the pain of experiencing score two live no exactly

[05:14:15] that's when i have to hold a disc of it i hope you enjoy that later no

[05:14:27] all right so we managed to get through there uh it's it is really easy to get knocked off of course there and what i'm trying to set up for here

[05:14:31] is a jump uh it's not that bad of a

[05:14:33] jump, but I'm gonna do an angled jump off

[05:14:35] of here. Nice we got that one

[05:14:37] There's an easy backup for that if I miss it

[05:14:39] But right here... We don't

[05:14:41] Yeah In the store 2 community But right here, we don't miss. We don't... yeah.

[05:14:44] In the STORT 2 community,

[05:14:46] we are incapable of missing.

[05:14:48] People have been saying this.

[05:14:50] I've been saying this!

[05:14:52] One person has been saying this in the entire world.

[05:14:54] Yeah so the SORT2 community's been saying this.

[05:14:57] Damn! From what I heard it was at least three people.

[05:15:01] Yeah no that's... not trying to undermine the work of-

[05:15:04] That was a joke to be fair work of... Yeah, exactly.

[05:15:05] No that was a joke to be fair.

[05:15:06] So that's the funny thing right?

[05:15:07] Is you would think like a game would be like oh this is just a funny meme game but no it's

[05:15:10] like we have had so much love and work poured into this game. And it's really just made it cool to

[05:15:16] like, I don't know but the run looks kind of sick and I hate that.

[05:15:24] The best part is like IMO Hundo is even more cool because it's like

[05:15:28] you know all the same auto-scroller stuff that you're playing because its fast

[05:15:31] and then you get to do like even more cool platforming

[05:15:34] and actually play my favorite parts of the game.

[05:15:36] Cause this was a question i always get asked and actually play my favorite parts of the game.

[05:15:38] This is a question I always get asked, it's like why do you know about this?

[05:15:41] And this is one of the early...

[05:15:44] I remember not even me playing it

[05:15:47] but me sitting with my brother and dad when i was three years old

[05:15:51] Watching someone play Stuart 2 for me

[05:15:54] And then because its a PS1 disk get like inevitably scratched

[05:15:59] and that was bad um while you slowly but surely

[05:16:04] while you slowly but truly convince helix to play this game can i share a

[05:16:07] quick update oh yeah go for it!

[05:16:09] We have just crossed $15,000

[05:16:11] raised on that

[05:16:13] Pokemon White 2 Challenge

[05:16:15] mode upgrade! Thank you

[05:16:17] so much everyone who is making that happen while the shenanigans unfold on your screen.

[05:16:25] Do not imply that I'm playing this game, I got Monkey Ball to play.

[05:16:35] Super Stewart!

[05:16:39] I don't even know if there's science between all of us i just know story yeah time it yeah

[05:16:43] look sometimes we just need a minute with this game speaking of needing a minute uh

[05:16:48] we got this driving section right here which is i don't i go back and forth between whether

[05:16:53] i hate the boat or the hot rod more here but they both suck oh god and i also am a big fan

[05:16:59] of the walls that are always at the same distance away from you at all times it's a great

[05:17:05] you know it's just great you know what quack this would be a great time for even more stewart fest

[05:17:09] this part of the game actually just sucks. Just let it rock.

[05:17:12] All right, I can't let it rock.

[05:17:14] I have $10 here from MZ who says,

[05:17:17] Jaxler mentioned the Stuart Little rabbit hole.

[05:17:19] I would like to point out that it should

[05:17:21] actually be a mouse hole. R joking about that earlier who's we uh me

[05:17:30] as i understand it many people have said this. I also have $25 here from Aaron Gray who says,

[05:17:37] I've never heard of Stuart Little 2 until today

[05:17:40] but I can confidently say it has changed my life in the last 20 minutes.

[05:17:46] Mine too.

[05:17:48] Time for one more?

[05:17:48] Go for it.

[05:17:49] I have $57.20 from Ashkarp who says,

[05:17:53] this is a lot of fun. Donating on

[05:17:56] behalf of Minchino, a Pokemon

[05:17:58] that looks a lot like Stuart

[05:18:00] Little and is from Black &

[05:18:02] White. Let's keep the momentum

[05:18:04] going. I couldn't agree more.

[05:18:07] Let's see that challenge mode upgrade.

[05:18:11] You've got time for like maybe one or two

[05:18:13] more, Stuart. Add one more Stuart fact.

[05:18:15] Amazing! How is a Stuart testimonial?

[05:18:17] $5 from Drew A Conclusion, who says...

[05:18:20] Did you know that Stuart Little Two's ray tracing capabilities saved my marriage?

[05:18:28] Let's go undivorced!

[05:18:32] We would need a saved marriage after what happened in Chibi-Robo.

[05:18:34] We have done so much

[05:18:36] for like... Marriage?

[05:18:38] For marriage community.

[05:18:40] Community!

[05:18:41] Yeah, let's call it that.

[05:18:44] Alright, I'm gonna avoid pushing that box of leftovers right there and get the ledge grab

[05:18:48] Just a little bit

[05:18:49] of optimization. I've been trying very

[05:18:51] specifically to route my health so I can

[05:18:53] take a death warp. Okay, thanks

[05:18:55] game. Yeah, this game's really good by the way.

[05:19:00] I heard someone in the back. You see it. I heard someone in the back say, you see it, I hate you.

[05:19:02] I'm sure anyone would think that right in front of me.

[05:19:06] Yeah, you can't not see it.

[05:19:08] I also just feel like Steward is a game that you hear before you see as well. So it's like

[05:19:19] Like the music here just goes so hard

[05:19:22] like it'll just cut out

[05:19:23] for Margalo to say whatever nonsense

[05:19:25] she has to say and then it just comes

[05:19:27] back in and it's like emotional whiplash

[05:19:29] Yo shall I put a flush emotional whiplash Yeah, so if you haven't already realized that's the fastest way to climb things in this game

[05:19:48] is to just grunt up the wall.

[05:19:50] Grunt up the wall exactly it's called... It called brun- no it doesn't have a name.

[05:19:56] Alright so I am actually one cat biscuit short here so that is normally where I would do

[05:20:00] the death work.

[05:20:01] So I'm gonna go in a bottle of milk.

[05:20:08] I've got it!

[05:20:10] What?

[05:20:12] They run it back to back and you get it back to back.

[05:20:14] You get it back to back so much.

[05:20:16] Okay.

[05:20:18] Awesome.

[05:20:19] I have another one.

[05:20:20] Because I had to go and get another cat biscuit because

[05:20:23] I misrouted it. I just decided not to...

[05:20:26] Oh, wait, this will have

[05:20:27] some slight implications.

[05:20:29] You know what? It's whatever.

[05:20:31] We're going into

[05:20:32] the primary platforming level, and is by far the hardest um this

[05:20:39] uh there is one we're going into the other airplane section

[05:20:42] there is one really tight turn in there that I am going to go for.

[05:20:47] Because you gotta, you gotta, you got to really rep the Stuart crew

[05:20:52] You know? You've got to ball out

[05:20:54] All this swag in the game you're about to see yeah and be the rat

[05:21:01] something's something i'm just a rat in the cage anyway um so it's not coming up

[05:21:05] just yet but i'm gonna tap in real quick

[05:21:07] Just to make sure I don't screw this up because um well

[05:21:11] It is very funny to watch the plane crash animation in this game. Yeah, okay? Here's the time

[05:21:19] Oh we're so back

[05:21:21] That's really... The plane turns on a dime

[05:21:23] as opposed to the absolute

[05:21:25] dumpster fire that is the boat and car

[05:21:29] We keep talking about this, it's the same thing as Whiplash where we keep talking

[05:21:31] about these ridiculous things and then you suddenly switch into

[05:21:33] like professional speedrun commentator mode

[05:21:35] and do something really sick.

[05:21:39] That's another one.

[05:21:40] Oh I beat it.

[05:21:42] You get the idea.

[05:21:45] So...I did hit that though and that's really hard

[05:21:47] because again there is a text box in the way

[05:21:50] Text box in the way 10 bucks away it's also like suit a couple of frames to get off of those

[05:21:54] slippery slides it is actually just a true one frame

[05:21:58] oh of course why not more one frames? Ooh that was a big black flag! Nice!

[05:22:03] Alright so I'm about to do

[05:22:05] an image boost strat for

[05:22:07] Skip in a moment, so I'm gonna shake hands with this mumblebee

[05:22:09] right here if he'll let me.

[05:22:11] Oh dear!

[05:22:14] Yeah?

[05:22:15] Okay... interesting.

[05:22:18] And so we're going to do this skip right here

[05:22:20] around the corner.

[05:22:21] Nice! Uh oh. skip right here. Around the corner, nice!

[05:22:25] Uh-oh. Good.

[05:22:27] Okay, so this will be a little dicey because I'm at

[05:22:29] 1 HP but

[05:22:31] it doesn't end here. We're going to be doing another one of those like

[05:22:34] uh one frame slope jumps but this one has a really good setup so probably shouldn't be that bad

[05:22:42] there we go nice i'll take second time. Nice!

[05:22:44] And I think for safety, I'm going to just go ahead and grab this.

[05:22:52] Oh yeah. Ha!

[05:22:57] Oh yeah. Milk?

[05:23:01] Oh, that's rough. Okay so...

[05:23:04] I just needed the face block at the end there and I just completely torched it, so...

[05:23:06] Truly underfunded.

[05:23:07] That's rough to me watching this

[05:23:09] This entire time.

[05:23:10] The funny thing is that my PB

[05:23:16] is from before a whole lot of routing things

[05:23:18] for this game

[05:23:22] Oh god, okay

[05:23:24] This is terrifying.

[05:23:27] Should be fine.

[05:23:28] Yeah, exactly.

[05:23:30] This game is terrifying.

[05:23:31] People have the thing.

[05:23:32] So thanks to the efforts of like

[05:23:34] again Ryan and Sour

[05:23:35] there's actually a new route for this back half

[05:23:37] of Garbage Bar so we used to go to the other side first. We're actually going to go

[05:23:41] take a turn this way and so the idea behind this is that the final ring

[05:23:45] that we're going to want to pick up is the faceblock ring.

[05:23:48] So, we're going to get a restart point

[05:23:50] turn around

[05:23:52] and then get the rest of things that we want

[05:23:54] And then we'll come back around later

[05:23:56] Okay so this is skateboarding this is

[05:23:57] like legitimately like one of the hardest sections to do like

[05:24:00] the optimal strap for so i'm just gonna lock in here like all

[05:24:03] of this is actually just like legitimately

[05:24:05] difficult to nail down so not this first part those first parts just easy money but

[05:24:12] after that it gets kind of funky Almost missed that one, okay. Good.

[05:24:35] Okay, that's the really scary part. We'll see if I can link it all together.

[05:24:38] Not to be confused with Link from Zelda.

[05:24:41] This is a Mario game, go ahead. Oh that's true. People have incentives.

[05:24:43] Alright! That's really hard!

[05:24:47] This is one of the hardest things in the game and it's just a lot of running skills.

[05:24:52] Alright if I can get quiet for just a sec

[05:24:57] let's go that's really hard

[05:25:04] that jump sucks because like you have very little runway and if you beef it, you get put in that slide state. And it's just the worst every time

[05:25:08] you popped off has been followed by that thing.

[05:25:13] All right. Well I'm going to be writing some balloons here while

[05:25:15] I go grab the golden key in here

[05:25:17] so Craig have you got any more fun

[05:25:19] Stuart gaming facts? This will be a great time

[05:25:21] I will keep the Stuart little facts and testimonials coming

[05:25:26] i have 25 here for blackthorne wolf who says good morning gdq and happy fourth

[05:25:32] i'm pretty sure i played Stuart Little 2 in a fever

[05:25:34] dream from an amazing pic of

[05:25:36] renting from Blockbuster as a child

[05:25:39] doing my part to

[05:25:41] spread the Pokemon love. Let's

[05:25:43] go challenge mode! Let's go challenge mode!

[05:25:46] Let's go bingo. Let's go bingo.

[05:25:47] Let's go bingo.

[05:25:49] People have been saying this.

[05:25:50] I also have $25 here from Perfectly Cromulent

[05:25:53] who says, Stuart Little fun fact in addition to writing the movie M Night

[05:25:58] Shyamalan also wrote all of the dialogue for The Stuart Little video games I'm not a fact checker

[05:26:03] that sounds good to me. Close enough.

[05:26:06] I mean, one of my bits was gonna be

[05:26:07] give us your best story facts

[05:26:08] wrong answers only so...

[05:26:10] Yeah, no

[05:26:11] I know for a fact that

[05:26:12] that one is correct.

[05:26:14] Okay, good.

[05:26:16] And as we're on our way here I got another dis to pass by Okay, good. Of course you did. Oh, okay!

[05:26:16] And as we're on our way here...

[05:26:17] I got another disc to pass off.

[05:26:18] Oh wow!

[05:26:20] For my ride or die!

[05:26:22] My goat Nostani!

[05:26:24] I'm scared now.

[05:26:26] That's the one that for sure doesn't work but yeah it's

[05:26:28] not even to play this game all right so this is the final boss falcon boss you might be

[05:26:33] wondering like what the lore behind this is uh you can look it up. No.

[05:26:39] Oh, so they're not wondering. Okay.

[05:26:42] It's because I'll be playing the game myself with this disc he gave me.

[05:26:45] Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Congrats.

[05:26:47] So the way that this works is that we just need to grab these battery packs and then press X to charge into it.

[05:26:53] But you really need to not do any turns, otherwise you'll just whiff.

[05:26:57] And it's really annoying.

[05:26:58] So there's very specific spots I'm going to try to do this at

[05:27:02] so that's one of them i did have to miss that battery though should be fine um if you

[05:27:07] do everything perfectly um you basically get to save like a cycle of

[05:27:11] like going through apart with no batteries whatsoever

[05:27:14] um so i don't even know if we're on the route for that but we'll see

[05:27:17] how did our lives end up like this.

[05:27:23] There's two more hits coming in, I believe so time is going to be

[05:27:25] on final hit

[05:27:27] Oh! This is the end?

[05:27:29] Yeah, you're the end! You're almost free from it.

[05:27:31] Thank goodness.

[05:27:34] This IS the last head.

[05:27:37] I don't even know if...

[05:27:38] Am I gonna have the battery here?

[05:27:39] Nope, I am not.

[05:27:40] Okay.

[05:27:41] So... Pretty cool.

[05:27:42] Yeah. Carry on time and...time!

[05:27:48] This is- this has been so different from Whiplash because

[05:27:51] Whiplash changed my life but with this i feel like

[05:27:53] i've just been dissociating for the past 35 minutes 56.6 seconds whiplash was one step

[05:27:59] forward steward was two steps back oh right right we'll just let this as long as i wanted That's bad. Wait, hey! Skip that cussing!

[05:28:03] Oh right right right right right right.

[05:28:04] We'll just let this-

[05:28:05] As long as I wanted to see it.

[05:28:06] Yeah.

[05:28:07] Yeah, as much as the people needed to see

[05:28:08] that um...

[05:28:09] I oh,

[05:28:10] I thought I had a third

[05:28:11] Stuart disc for you Helix but unfortunately

[05:28:13] I guess I don't so...

[05:28:15] Nisani, I think we might actually share it.

[05:28:19] You want that right?

[05:28:21] Actually hold on Kobe give me that real quick there's something wrong with that desk oh i thought that was oh people

[05:28:34] i was actually thinking of playing that.

[05:28:36] No you weren't, no you weren't.

[05:28:40] With my card of story level 2, I will rise to new heights

[05:28:44] On that note once again again, shout-outs to

[05:28:46] Totetris, Ryan Pointless,

[05:28:48] Vsour for, you know,

[05:28:50] competing with me and against me and just helping make this game

[05:28:53] actually fun to run. I've been Jaxler.

[05:28:55] You can find me at twitch.tv slash jaxler1. Thank you so much everyone who's

[05:28:59] been here for Silly Block, this was so freaking awesome! Keep watching, keep donating, keep bringing

[05:29:04] in your Stuart 2 facts, I'll read them all at some point thank you all so much have a great rest of

[05:29:08] this event

[05:29:17] ohio gazaymas everyone um welcome to Ohio. As you may have heard, the silly block is over.

[05:29:29] This is serious gaming for serious gamers such as myself.

[05:29:34] I've got some serious gamers here on the couch as well.

[05:29:36] We got Blahaj there, very serious gamer.

[05:29:40] Happyby3.

[05:29:41] I forget its name.

[05:29:45] Nonetheless welcome and Killing Pepsi.

[05:29:49] Serious Gamer?

[05:29:50] Thank you.

[05:29:51] All right, so yeah this is Jitsuro too powerful

[05:29:54] Yaku can slug Yamada also known as Slugger Yamada

[05:29:57] also noticed third person game template

[05:30:04] that's just what the process name is because it's amazing. This is my favorite game of 2023, one of my favorite games of all time so I'm very happy to be able to show

[05:30:09] it off here. So let's go ahead and get started. I'm going

[05:30:11] to go to the actual main menu. This is not the main menu, I just wanted

[05:30:14] to show you this because it's one of the best menus in a video game also.

[05:30:24] I tried. All right, let's get started here.

[05:30:27] Three, two, one...

[05:30:29] Let's go Yamada!

[05:30:31] So this game is in its own universe mechanically speaking Let's go Yamada. Let's go Yamada.

[05:30:32] So this game is in its own universe mechanically speaking, there's really nothing like it.

[05:30:35] If you're a bit confused just remember that it's a bit like baseball.

[05:30:38] Close your eyes and imagine a baseball on your head

[05:30:41] and then rotate the baseball. it's sort of like that um so we have

[05:30:45] two phases to our combat we have batting and pitching we're in batting right now as you can

[05:30:49] see we are swinging our bat i don't know why my clips aren't registering nonetheless uh it's fine we'll carry through

[05:30:56] part strat here gonna spawn both tanks double back one swing unfortunate

[05:31:02] um if you time that exactly right you can get both tanks in one set of shots.

[05:31:07] But it's all good.

[05:31:09] I think because I had to do an extra swing

[05:31:11] On the little dudes back there

[05:31:13] I ran out of Time Stop G, which is in the bottom right.

[05:31:16] I don't think I have time to fully explain that,

[05:31:18] but nonetheless, there's a lot I don't have time to explain.

[05:31:20] Doors in this game open sometimes

[05:31:22] you have to destroy a set of enemies, sometimes you can just walk

[05:31:24] towards them like this one and get them to open

[05:31:26] and then whenever we get to the end of the level we're going to click the menu

[05:31:29] to skip the ending sequence and go right to the menu here moving on to our first real

[05:31:34] level of the game i just want to give a quick special shout out to this

[05:31:37] over here. Just

[05:31:39] incredible environmental storytelling

[05:31:41] really asks

[05:31:43] a lot of questions and answers few about

[05:31:45] the game's lore. The lore demons have invaded earth or something or aliens

[05:31:50] i'm not really sure we have to become the greatest slugger in the universe and also collect the

[05:31:55] ultimate ingredients we got the first ultimate ingredient right here, it's

[05:31:58] the crab sticks. They also give us the power of the crab which is the side step look at

[05:32:02] Yamada go right there very nice they're going to be pretty useful I'm gonna do our

[05:32:07] first stat upgrade here after some dialogue, and moving on.

[05:32:14] So...I have a great movement speed there because it's a speedrun.

[05:32:18] I'm gonna be able to cancel the ending

[05:32:20] part of my shot animation

[05:32:21] here with a sidestep.

[05:32:22] I'm also going to do

[05:32:22] like,

[05:32:22] a little flick

[05:32:23] to try and make

[05:32:24] it go forward

[05:32:25] so that was pretty decent

[05:32:25] but probably actually

[05:32:26] save time.

[05:32:27] You really love

[05:32:28] to see it.

[05:32:29] Yeah, the upgrade menu contains all your normal upgrades for this sort of game,

[05:32:33] you've got attack, defense, speed, meat...

[05:32:36] Everything you expect to see.

[05:32:39] I'm also going to be focusing on score early in this run.

[05:32:42] Increasing your score determines how fast you get these unlocks,

[05:32:46] and getting unlocks earlier is usually better.

[05:32:50] So scoring is dependent more or less entirely on your batting average,

[05:32:54] real by the way that's not a bit I'm not a funny enough person to come up with bits for this game

[05:32:59] that are funnier than the actual content of the game which is great um so i'm

[05:33:03] gonna be trying to hit as many things with each swing as possible to bring up my batting average

[05:33:09] uh one survive there and then that's fine.

[05:33:16] Ideally I can destroy all of those enemies with just that combo there

[05:33:20] The inning change is happening on a timer

[05:33:25] Though I do also have the ability to change innings manually. If I run out of innings

[05:33:33] game will end Yamada will die permanently but that should never happen with the current str, I rarely go above like three innings.

[05:33:37] Yeah, the only exception is sometimes we will go above three innings on purpose to get more of those little flaming baseballs you see.

[05:33:45] You want to talk about Kidama?

[05:33:47] Yeah, so every time you switch

[05:33:49] you get another Kidama there

[05:33:51] They're used for these special abilities that Sean just unlocked

[05:33:53] they are bound to the up and down scroll wheels.

[05:33:59] Those will be used for special skills, which we can equip

[05:34:02] to up-and-down scroll wheel. It's where I would choose

[05:34:05] to map things. It's a good choice.

[05:34:07] We're going to use our first one here.

[05:34:09] It costs four Akidama, and

[05:34:11] we're going to use it as a sort of

[05:34:13] power shot aim check.

[05:34:15] Hey! I love to see it.

[05:34:17] So if you rapidly change your aim there,

[05:34:19] you can make some shots go to one tank and some go

[05:34:21] to the other, avoiding having to clean up

[05:34:23] the second tank, which we got there.

[05:34:25] That's honestly really tricky so I'm happy I got that.

[05:34:27] Going to get a bunch of unlocks here,

[05:34:28] so donation?

[05:34:31] Absolutely.

[05:34:32] The Pokemon fans are waking up.

[05:34:35] A donation train is very much brewing.

[05:34:38] I have $14.30 here from Lily's Dark Materials,

[05:34:41] who says 143 for my best boy Snorlax.

[05:34:46] Time for one more?

[05:34:47] Um,

[05:34:47] I don't think so, unfortunately.

[05:34:49] This game's moving at a rapid pace.

[05:34:51] Doing one more speed unlock here and we're going to move it on

[05:34:53] to a very important level.

[05:34:55] So we need to get 15000 points in this level

[05:34:57] for the S rank bonus which gives us a special skill called the

[05:35:00] Rocket Start. It lets use rocket boosters and is going to become our main form of movement

[05:35:05] throughout the run once we get it. Just sort of have to go through here if you

[05:35:09] run through this as fast as possible,

[05:35:11] We should get the S rank easily.

[05:35:13] Make sure that we get all these speed power-ups

[05:35:15] And then don't get caught on any of these enemies

[05:35:17] Very nice!

[05:35:19] More important than the rocket boosters is this. We just unlocked a deck system.

[05:35:21] It's called Yugo.

[05:35:22] This game is now a deck builder,

[05:35:23] and we now have a dual disc installed inside of our bat.

[05:35:26] Real lore.

[05:35:27] It's in the readme.

[05:35:27] I mean, it's an indie game made in 2023.

[05:35:33] We knew it was a deck builder that's so true um so we can change cards uh it says sr

[05:35:36] on the top right because she's a speed runner

[05:35:38] um and different cards have different properties

[05:35:41] and they only last for a certain amount of innings.

[05:35:45] It's hard to really explain why we use the cards we do,

[05:35:48] just trust me on this one.

[05:35:50] But we are going to go equip them right now

[05:35:52] so let's see if I can do this menu well.

[05:35:53] This game has far more mechanics than is reasonable to explain in 20 minutes and we don't even use all the mechanics

[05:36:00] We were just introduced to the gacha system

[05:36:02] You can roll for new cards

[05:36:04] to build your deck, but it's slow and

[05:36:08] puts RNG into the run so we just avoid it altogether

[05:36:12] There are cards that save time in the gatcha, but a single gatcha roll takes about 10 seconds and there are not cards that save 10 seconds.

[05:36:19] Doing a bunch of stat upgrades there.

[05:36:21] We think maybe theoretically if you got an absolutely perfect gacha roll...

[05:36:24] You might be able to

[05:36:25] save time, but it would dig into the maybe.

[05:36:29] I'm gonna

[05:36:29] move back here and try and move all these enemies

[05:36:31] towards this choke point. Enemies only

[05:36:33] move towards you when you're looking at them,

[05:36:35] so I'm trying to keep them all in view

[05:36:37] so that they all move towards me.

[05:36:40] I just had one short cleanup there,

[05:36:41] but otherwise that was pretty alright.

[05:36:43] The least threatening form of Weeping Angels.

[05:36:47] You just look away and you're safe,

[05:36:49] which we will be doing later. It's an

[05:36:51] important strat.

[05:36:53] Just gonna clean up the end here.

[05:36:55] Hopefully going to be able to get either three

[05:36:57] or four of these guys to go to the tank, and

[05:36:59] then last one going to go to that tank

[05:37:01] looks like it is. Very nice.

[05:37:03] Nice work.

[05:37:06] And finishing this level and moving on to our...

[05:37:09] Oh, we also got the Cup Ramen second ultimate ingredient.

[05:37:11] It doesn't give us any ability but hey it's ramen.

[05:37:13] Yeah, it's always a good time for ramen.

[05:37:15] That's true.

[05:37:16] We are going to be moving onto our first boss level of the run.

[05:37:20] Killing Peps, you want to explain how bosses work?

[05:37:22] Yeah there is two kind of bosses in this game. The first one is a helicopter which we will see a few times.

[05:37:26] So when I build up Archidameter IV, wait for it to shoot a bunch of shots and then reflect them with the big pickaxe swing.

[05:37:35] And immediately cancel that animation with a card switch right here. This card right here gives us two extra Kidamas,

[05:37:40] we have four, which is perfect to

[05:37:42] figure out one more swing. Perfect.

[05:37:44] There we go. Bunch of cutscenes here, so

[05:37:46] maybe one or two donations? Absolutely!

[05:37:48] And a very important update, we are just under $2,000 away from that Challenge Mode COVIDON Lite upgrade! Keep the donations coming y'all! I have $100 here from Benny Omega who says,

[05:38:00] This game looks batty.

[05:38:02] I hope you aren't sluggish and hit that home run!

[05:38:05] Donation goes to Pokemon Y2 Challenge Mode.

[05:38:09] Alright, um...I did get an upgrade here It us plus two keydome at the start of a level.

[05:38:13] I did a specific strat on the boss to give me something...I gave myself a ton of score just to get that

[05:38:18] because it lets us do an extra rocket boost for free basically which is quite good

[05:38:23] um someone needs to explain this level i need to focus yeah so at the start

[05:38:27] swing and get the enemies behind him into this robot here very good and try to hit

[05:38:31] this one here we'll see if it goes. That was a tough one,

[05:38:33] we get a real quick backup that needs to do. So this is my one contribution

[05:38:37] to the speedrun. After you destroy these three robots,

[05:38:41] the one on the right there's gonna to open and at the very end of

[05:38:44] the opening animation, if we run

[05:38:46] against this wall here...

[05:38:49] Rip roll bracket.

[05:38:50] Oh, you can see it.

[05:38:53] The angle for getting that is pretty finicky,

[05:38:57] and it didn't want to give us at that time

[05:38:58] but we get another chance with the aim check here

[05:39:00] and that one looks really good.

[05:39:02] Watch the radar?

[05:39:03] Yeah!

[05:39:04] So as you can see Watch the radar. Yeah!

[05:39:06] So as you can see, The way they kind of keep you on track in each level is by having these little walls on the side

[05:39:12] But we're speedrunners

[05:39:14] There we go So go say about 15 seconds

[05:39:21] we don't fully understand why that door stopping its movement pushes you on top of the wall,

[05:39:26] but it saves 15 seconds so we're not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth.

[05:39:29] It's better to not ask questions with this game, just take it for what it is.

[05:39:32] That's a good rule of thumb with Yamato.

[05:39:35] In this level though think of...

[05:39:36] ...that first gap you run over completely randomly

[05:39:38] You just fall in sometimes and then a shark eats you

[05:39:41] So always a little scary

[05:39:45] Oh we're playing tennis now.

[05:39:47] So we are so good at baseball that

[05:39:49] we will play the hardest form of it, tennis.

[05:39:52] We'll run up and knock this ball over the net

[05:39:55] which is going to set us up for a quick kill

[05:39:58] a little bit later. It's worth trying a few times

[05:40:02] There we go, so that'll get us a quick kill on some enemies at the end

[05:40:05] But first thing we're gonna do is run over here

[05:40:07] Do some normal enemy hits and then

[05:40:09] we are just gonna swing at the air a bit.

[05:40:11] The problem with Sean is too good at video games

[05:40:13] And if your batting average is

[05:40:15] too high and you get 500 thousand

[05:40:17] points at the end of the game you get a bonus cut scene and extra cut scenes obviously lose us quite a bit

[05:40:23] of time so we're just swinging into the air at

[05:40:26] that point to lower our batting average and lower

[05:40:28] our overall score,

[05:40:32] because that's kind of the only time we can do it for free while we're waiting for some other stuff to happen

[05:40:35] and not lose time by doing it.

[05:40:37] These helicopter kills look so easy the way Sean does them, but they are in fact really,

[05:40:42] really hard. I struggled a lot with all of those

[05:40:45] in my casual playthrough. The casual playthrough

[05:40:48] this game has a lot of knowledge checks that if you haven't played

[05:40:51] this game for over 100 hours, you're not really going to get.

[05:40:55] I'm not showing you the casual experience here at all.

[05:40:58] Fun fact about the sniper tanks in this level, they are legally required

[05:41:01] to send us a notification before the attack

[05:41:02] but they aren't even going to get us time to do that because we're just

[05:41:05] going through too fast, but it's just funny lore.

[05:41:09] Yeah they sent a text message your phone to be like hey I'm about to shoot you just so you know.

[05:41:18] Sharks?

[05:41:19] Shark by the way.

[05:41:20] Shark!

[05:41:21] Let's go sharks.

[05:41:26] That's why we have blah hush here i specifically asked

[05:41:33] and they uh kindly obliged i'm gonna be doing my final stat upgrade here. Just trust me that this is better,

[05:41:35] I am not doing a bit.

[05:41:39] And moving on to the first...well, not really the first boss fight but

[05:41:43] first of this type of boss fight at least.

[05:41:45] We're going to start off by shooting an up special here with a quick shot

[05:41:48] Immediately cancel the animation with a card switch

[05:41:50] Another shot also gets some HP damage

[05:41:52] And get one more for three

[05:41:54] Sean's gonna do four four-hit combos here.

[05:41:56] Switching names twice really quickly

[05:41:58] you'll be able to do a four-hit combo

[05:42:00] And just like real life how physics works

[05:42:02] we hit it a bunch and it does more damage

[05:42:04] If you hit the baseball multiple times, it gets more points.

[05:42:07] It's true.

[05:42:08] That's the rules of baseball.

[05:42:09] That's exactly how baseball works.

[05:42:11] You can trust me.

[05:42:12] No baseball player is good enough to actually pull it off, unfortunately.

[05:42:17] But someday we will reach Yamada's level.

[05:42:21] That was the shark man.

[05:42:22] He's a really cool boss.

[05:42:23] All bosses are really cool casually

[05:42:24] I recommend trying them out

[05:42:26] but unfortunately we just kinda...

[05:42:28] Well fortunately, we kinda melted him.

[05:42:36] Nice. There he goes.

[05:42:39] We're gonna get some cheese packets here, it's another one of the ultimate ingredients

[05:42:43] don't worry about it. It doesn't do anything. The trap stick is actually

[05:42:47] the only ingredient ingredient that actually does something.

[05:42:50] And we're going to be moving on to our next sports level.

[05:42:53] All of the levels have been baseball so far because this game is baseball, but now it's really baseball.

[05:42:58] As you know, the way you play baseball is to immediately go for a home

[05:43:01] run and then uh murder the pitcher and that should kill everyone cheers watch the radar

[05:43:12] that is okay scary. I'm gonna switch to uh the wolf here and change some innings because any changes with that card heals.

[05:43:18] Sometimes those enemies attack sometimes they don't and if they do it can get kind of dicey.

[05:43:23] All right now we're playing my personal favorite form

[05:43:25] of baseball which is soccer.

[05:43:27] In this as we mentioned earlier these enemies only move

[05:43:30] toward you if you're looking at them. So we're going to run over here

[05:43:32] look away, wait until about 4 seconds on the timer

[05:43:34] and then start the fight. That just sets

[05:43:36] us up to get all these kills in the quickest

[05:43:38] safest way possible

[05:43:39] And as you know, the primary rules of soccer are run to the touchline behind your

[05:43:45] opponent's goal, wait until there's four seconds left in the half and then kill the goalkeeper.

[05:43:50] So that's exactly what we're gonna do

[05:43:53] just gotta get a soccer ball and some of the shots here and that should be enough

[05:43:56] to kill very nice and then we're going to get one

[05:43:58] of these guys shown up here um something we didn't mention is uh

[05:44:01] there's a headshot mechanic in this game why did i do this oh

[05:44:04] no just gonna work um what's the play here i think it's uh this probably

[05:44:09] um this is sketchy but this should work i think i switched to the wrong card please work please kill it should

[05:44:19] oh that's oh no no no, no. We're good.

[05:44:24] It'll be fine.

[05:44:25] I believe.

[05:44:27] Yes.

[05:44:28] And we shouldn't get 500,000 here?

[05:44:29] Good job.

[05:44:30] Nice!

[05:44:31] Just under 500,000.

[05:44:32] So moving on to the final boss here.

[05:44:33] So I just want to talk a bit about this game.

[05:44:34] This game is of Dalaran dollar and steam it's one of my

[05:44:36] favorite games ever you owe it to play

[05:44:38] it because it's just that good

[05:44:40] it is very rare to see a game uh pun

[05:44:42] intended swing for defenses on so many

[05:44:44] different mechanics

[05:44:45] and pull them off so effortlessly.

[05:44:47] So please give this game your time.

[05:44:50] But time, by the way, is coming up very shortly.

[05:44:54] This might not kill.

[05:44:56] As soon as we killed this ultimate champion of baseball.

[05:45:02] Time. So that's it for that.

[05:45:05] If you do want to run this game, there isn't really a community or anything because it's...

[05:45:09] This game has like 20 reviews on Steam. It's not exactly known

[05:45:13] but reach out be happy to tell you anything about this game. I am

[05:45:19] obsessed with sharing things about this

[05:45:20] game, so please do

[05:45:23] so.

[05:45:24] If you need to find the game, because it can be hard to

[05:45:31] know how to write that could be tough so just go to speedrun dot com slash Yamada and there's a link

[05:45:35] to the game here there it's only a dollar um you get way way worse things for a dollar. You can get way, way worse things for $1. And you can get way worse things for like $60 honestly.

[05:45:43] Anyways here is our ultimate food.

[05:47:37] Hello everyone! I am the Shaded Master and I am

[05:47:39] running Celeste 64, Fragments

[05:47:41] of a Mountain 100% for you

[05:47:43] so I'm a former world record holder

[05:47:45] if my couch would like to introduce themselves. Hi, I'm a former world record holder. If my couch would like to introduce themselves?

[05:47:48] Hi, uh, I'm KingJ0444

[05:47:50] I am the former-former

[05:47:52] World Record Holder of this game

[05:47:54] Uh, My name is LordyBunnykins

[05:47:56] I am the former-form former former former world record holder of this game

[05:48:00] i'm kind of like the day one we're kind of big deals yeah and on call we have

[05:48:05] kevin right here on call we have have Kevin at Power Up Audio.

[05:48:10] I did a lot of the sound for this game alongside my team here in Vancouver.

[05:48:15] And I guess technically, yes,

[05:48:17] I am the former, former, former, former world record holder during playtesting. So thank you very much.

[05:48:26] Stoked to be here.

[05:48:29] So real quick we'll let Kevin explain what this game is.

[05:48:33] Yeah! This is kind of funny. We had the Celeste Pico 8 version that appeared on SGDQ from Sex Rex years ago.

[05:48:41] And now we have another Game Jam version of Celeste

[05:48:44] on SGDQ years later, so pretty cool it's here at all.

[05:48:48] Thank you so much for myself and the rest of the team

[05:48:50] for running it at all thank you so much from myself and from the rest of the team for running

[05:48:52] it at all tsm amazing um this is gonna be quick so depends what we're talking about before the run

[05:48:57] begins so this was a game jam game it uh i was on discord like on the xok discord looking at when we first made

[05:49:04] this channel for making this game in the first place it was january 17th was day one channel

[05:49:09] opened we shipped this game to the world on January 29th.

[05:49:13] I learned of it personally on January 22nd, so I had one week total in which Noel was

[05:49:20] saying, hey, I know you're running a business over there and stuff but we are making this silly game for week. Do you have time for us?

[05:49:25] And he said, You know what? We gonna drop everything into these things.

[05:49:27] It's Celeste of course!

[05:49:30] But yeah...

[05:49:31] We made the whole thing in a week

[05:49:35] I guess Noel was saying, hey listen man, like, we're gonna work

[05:49:37] through it and it's gonna be very silly.

[05:49:39] It's mostly a meme game

[05:49:41] so it doesn't need to be good.

[05:49:43] Don't live and sleep same over-end.

[05:49:46] But then Lena rolls in and is using like,

[05:49:48] the sound fonts to make a new soundtrack

[05:49:51] And I mean, in classic XOK style

[05:49:54] They say, ah, it doesn't need to be good

[05:49:56] and then they just made it good!

[05:49:58] So I had to keep up

[05:50:00] And yeah there was a lot of lost sleep from the whole team

[05:50:02] and a lot of just

[05:50:04] good laughs and fun times making a silly thing so i'm stoked to see you here on stage

[05:50:10] yeah so got a few things also to say before quickly. So first donations, there's not going to be a lot of time for donations during this run but if you want to tag along get a train going, there should be eight intended debts throughout the run

[05:50:31] and if you want to do donations for all of those deaths

[05:50:36] but for any unintended deaths that I take,

[05:50:39] I will donate $5.00 for each.

[05:50:41] I'll hop on that.

[05:50:42] I'm down for that.

[05:50:43] Yeah.

[05:50:44] I can probably hop on that.

[05:50:45] Just don't die too much.

[05:50:46] Oh yeah.

[05:50:47] Just at the end,

[05:50:48] dive like 15 times.

[05:50:49] As well as audience participation, there's two things we can do.

[05:50:52] First, there are only 30 berries to collect

[05:50:56] so after each one has a fanfare kind of like SM64 when you collect the star. We can clap at the end of that fanfare and...

[05:51:08] And there's also a special song with some of the levels that we can sing along with.

[05:51:15] I think a lot of people are going to understand me when it happens.

[05:51:18] I expect some dancing from the back coach!

[05:51:21] Real quick, since you said there's not a lot of time during the run, can I share some good news before we begin?

[05:51:26] Go for it! We have hit the Pokémon 1-2 Challenge Mode upgrade!

[05:51:34] On cue.

[05:51:35] Thank you so much, everyone who made that happen.

[05:51:39] Thank you Quack and with that I think we're ready to show what the game is actually about!

[05:51:44] Yep, we're ready.

[05:51:46] Alright. Wanna kinda demonstrate?

[05:51:48] Absolutely. So...

[05:51:52] First 3DQ run. Let's breathe.

[05:51:53] You got this!

[05:51:55] So we're gonna start from 5,

[05:51:57] 4, 3,

[05:51:59] 2, 1...

[05:52:01] Go! So like we said 2, 1, go!

[05:52:04] So like we said this game is short. Like starting off

[05:52:08] here's one berry of 30

[05:52:12] Yeah so a quick explanation of this game is we have the same general toolkit as Celeste.

[05:52:18] We can dash, we can jump, we can grab.

[05:52:21] Where it's different in how the dash works because the dash is a little bit more restrictive.

[05:52:26] We can dash in any direction we want but we can't really do much vertically.

[05:52:31] If were in the air you'll see me dash a little bit up and that's pretty helpful.

[05:52:37] However, there's

[05:52:38] also dash jumping which you can see at the start

[05:52:40] of this room and you're going to see all over the run

[05:52:42] which is simply just dashing and then

[05:52:44] jumping out of it and

[05:52:45] you move faster.

[05:52:47] Yeah, it's like the extended supers

[05:52:49] in Celeste

[05:52:51] Yeah there is a good showcase of it here

[05:52:53] And there is also no

[05:52:55] stamina in this game compared to Vanilla Celeste.

[05:53:00] Real quick... Madeline goes into square hole.

[05:53:12] Yeah, there's a lot of momentum You will see us fling ourselves

[05:53:14] multiple different places

[05:53:16] Yeah it's a lot of fun. That was one part

[05:53:19] the routing was with this. It was changing

[05:53:21] every day for like the first week.

[05:53:23] Absolutely yeah and a lot

[05:53:25] these cassette rooms are pretty simple

[05:53:27] even if they have like a weird trick to them,

[05:53:28] They're gonna be pretty short but

[05:53:30] they're definitely one of the harder parts of this run compared

[05:53:33] to the like the overworld movement

[05:53:37] and here we see our first intentional death of the run. There's a lot of varies where after you either want to warp back to a checkpoint or you get put in a bubble that puts you back to a checkpoint and that bubble animation is just really slow, so we never want to watch it

[05:53:51] if we can't.

[05:53:52] I don't know if we mentioned or not,

[05:53:54] this game is free.

[05:53:56] If you like what you're seeing

[05:53:58] and you want a quick

[05:53:59] 10-ish minute run

[05:54:01] to pick up, or 15

[05:54:03] second run if you run any percent.

[05:54:07] Definitely try it out.

[05:54:08] I think it's largely

[05:54:10] open source as well actually.

[05:54:11] Yes, it is! It's very easy to make custom levels as well

[05:54:14] I know people have already done that

[05:54:17] so...

[05:54:19] That always means there's technically infinite game in it

[05:54:21] Here's a big

[05:54:22] launch yeah that was nice so sick

[05:54:27] now we get all the big launches in a row oh yeah he's another one

[05:54:30] here's another one we keep our speed by jumping here.

[05:54:32] Nice!

[05:54:33] That was very nice.

[05:54:34] It looks so clean, I love it.

[05:54:35] I knew that one.

[05:54:39] There you go, nice, perfect.

[05:54:42] There is another really hard launch we we're gonna be doing later, and we're gonna get some serious time for it.

[05:54:47] But you have to do it without dashing.

[05:54:50] This room is going to start our tradition of really just not caring if there are keys

[05:54:56] in an area.

[05:54:57] Yeah, you can side flip here and then...

[05:54:58] Grab on the side!

[05:54:59] Oops, okay.

[05:55:00] I thought you were gonna jump past.

[05:55:01] Yeah, that's what happened during development and informed Maddie,

[05:55:04] she's like yeah I know.

[05:55:07] So the golden feathers translate kind of similar to

[05:55:10] The Dash into 3D where there is no vertical aspect

[05:55:13] To it you can of move horizontally.

[05:55:16] This fairy here, there is a small gap between the floor

[05:55:20] and the spikes, and Shade just dashes over it.

[05:55:22] Nice!

[05:55:23] But the feathers are pretty simple so

[05:55:25] here is a good time for one quick donation before we do a small skip in the upcoming set room.

[05:55:31] Oh boy! Do I have the one donation for you? It's $250 from Lena Raine!

[05:55:35] Let's go! $150 from Lena Raine.

[05:55:41] Who says, wow my favorite Nintendo 64 game! It's always a pleasure to see new things

[05:55:43] run on GDQ and best of luck with the

[05:55:45] run. Straub get! Thank you, and best of luck with the run. Straub get!

[05:55:48] Thank you so much, Lena.

[05:55:50] The amount of people I've heard ask if this is

[05:55:52] on N64 is crazy.

[05:55:54] Also remember that thing

[05:55:56] I said about hating keys? Yeah we hate grabbing keys.

[05:55:59] Yeah that one... like a lot of these were found very quickly and again they were intended so

[05:56:07] Yeah the Straub Get ref from Lender right now.

[05:56:09] Basically Maddy had a loose plan slash desire to have it say

[05:56:16] STROB GET on screen when you get one um she suggested this while in a plane over the

[05:56:23] atlantic ocean that's and uh noah was like go to sleep maddie you're like stop working on the game

[05:56:31] also for the record i asked none of us know why that feather trick

[05:56:35] yes but when you dash into that feather don't do that shred

[05:56:39] i don't know how it works

[05:56:41] it just does yeah also this is really good

[05:56:45] unfair okay also again once again we no need the switches because

[05:56:50] just jump to the end there.

[05:56:52] Yeah, we skip these again.

[05:56:55] So this part of the area...the city map here is kind of divided into these like quadrants and each of them focus on their own things.

[05:57:03] So we were already in the momentum and the feather quadrant, this one I like to call

[05:57:07] it the double dash quadrant because there's a lot of carrying this

[05:57:11] double-dash crystal with different berries. We can skip carrying it

[05:57:13] to this one with that big jump,

[05:57:15] but then do you want to talk about pins?

[05:57:17] Yeah I think we'll let it speak for itself

[05:57:19] first and then we'll explain it after

[05:57:21] see if you get this first try let's go that is way harder than he

[05:57:28] made that look yeah so usually if you don't do that jump, you have to like walk around the entire map.

[05:57:37] Yeah.

[05:57:37] And you bring a double dash to that panel and it's once a

[05:57:39] very,

[05:57:40] yeah.

[05:57:40] And you need to do,

[05:57:41] you need to keep both your dashes so you can't dash at all

[05:57:43] for that.

[05:57:44] So you just had to do like a quick double jump

[05:57:46] to keep uh through momentum and get enough speed yeah we tried to find a way to achieve

[05:57:51] that challenge and just failed to find one, I guess.

[05:57:58] This cassette's pretty simple we're supposed to grab on these walls

[05:58:00] to make them fall

[05:58:01] We're just gonna dash into them

[05:58:02] Yeah this is like my one contribution that I found

[05:58:05] People were grabbing the walls

[05:58:07] and like, you can just go over them! Excuse me? Yeah! Wait okay did I not find a shoe?

[05:58:11] You didn't no you didn't. For the runners

[05:58:15] who didn't make it to the game.

[05:58:16] Yeah, so now we're going to be getting

[05:58:19] the final climb to the ending area. We're not

[05:58:22] gonna be done with the run but we're

[05:58:23] gonna be where the game would

[05:58:24] technically end in any percent.

[05:58:26] We probably have one more donation during this climb.

[05:58:30] Absolutely, I have $5 here from Dew who says,

[05:58:35] good luck on the run Shaden,

[05:58:36] it's great to see you on stage and running a tough game.

[05:58:43] So yeah one last thing we should mention that we haven't yet is version differences.

[05:58:52] It's 1.0.1,

[05:58:52] right? Yes.

[05:58:55] The reason why we're playing on that coming up

[05:58:57] in the final cassette room there's a skip where we need to climb into spikes.

[05:59:04] And...there was an update that it's very good for casual players. It's not good

[05:59:10] for us.

[05:59:12] It makes it so that

[05:59:13] it will not let you climb

[05:59:14] up into spikes

[05:59:17] or turn a corner where there are spikes.

[05:59:19] Oh, dang. So yeah, we... where there are spikes. Oh dang...

[05:59:23] We hit the credits!

[05:59:27] That's the reason why we're

[05:59:29] playing on the old version, is to make sure we don't

[05:59:32] Or we can climb into the spikes for that skip later

[05:59:35] It does make the climb a little bit harder because there is a chance

[05:59:38] We climb into the spikes during a skip on the climb, but it's worth it for the time save

[05:59:45] there's a nice little one in the box here that that one with the uh the the falling platforms

[05:59:51] i think that's like always the hardest berry to find casually yeah it was a

[05:59:54] lot of my friends last one and seeing the last one this is the second-to-last cassette before

[05:59:59] the final set of the run uh it uses the set blocks from the original Celeste, which are tied to the rhythm.

[06:00:08] We're just gonna skip over here... Nice!

[06:00:11] Okay so do you want serious time for this, Shady?

[06:00:14] Yeah. How are you feeling?

[06:00:16] Yes...

[06:00:18] Okay we're gonna be quiet. This is the last cassette. It has three really hard skips

[06:00:24] Time will be

[06:00:24] very soon after it yeah it'll be after our death warp out of the cassette so Okay, looks good.

[06:00:50] Let's go!

[06:00:52] Yeah, that room takes a long time casually. Just a casual

[06:00:57] sub-nine minute, like there you go

[06:00:59] and time!

[06:01:02] That was

[06:01:03] really good. That beats both of our

[06:01:05] PBs? Oh no, not mine.

[06:01:08] Subtle flex but no.

[06:01:10] I have a sub 8

[06:04:38] Let's go!

[06:04:40] Thanks for your patience in that one. It's coming along.

[06:04:43] Thank you so much, Kevin.

[06:04:45] Yeah, thanks all for having me and thanks so much

[06:04:48] for being on stage as always.

[06:04:50] Cheers. Thanks, GDQ. Last to be on stage as always. Yeah, cheers.

[06:04:57] Good morning, GDQ! How's it going?

[06:05:03] My name is TTS4Life. I'm here to play White 2 for you guys, and I know we had a little bit of an incentive

[06:05:08] To upgrade the challenge category a little bit

[06:05:11] So did we meet it?

[06:05:14] We absolutely met it! We are playing challenge mode.

[06:05:17] Awesome. So I'm going to go ahead and set the challenge

[06:05:19] mode key here quick for us to get started.

[06:05:22] And we'll explain what this all means as

[06:05:24] we get started in the run. Yeah.

[06:05:28] Alright, so challenge mode set

[06:05:30] This one is going to start with a little bit of RNG

[06:05:32] manipulation here, so I'm going to be setting my date and time

[06:05:36] to very specific hour and minute tier,

[06:05:42] And I'm gonna let our wonderful host read a couple donations, because this countdown's

[06:05:45] a little bit long. But for those who like obnoxiously long countdowns...

[06:05:50] Here we go! So 35, 34, 33...

[06:05:54] We've got $10 from HeadBob who says best of luck on the run TTS

[06:05:58] from the back couch so happy to finally see you

[06:06:00] on the GDQ main stage.

[06:06:02] You deserve it so much.

[06:06:03] May the odds be ever in your favor. We also have

[06:06:07] $10 from Zypotic, so happy

[06:06:09] to see you make it to the big stage, ETS! It was

[06:06:11] fun and very impressive watching your grind at this game

[06:06:13] and I hope that two statics and Elisa's gym works well

[06:06:15] enough for ya.

[06:06:17] Alright, so time is coming up here

[06:06:19] in about

[06:06:21] 5...4...

[06:06:23] 3...2...

[06:06:25] 1...go! Three, two, one. Go!

[06:06:32] So this is White 2 Challenge Mode. I'm joined by a wonderful couch.

[06:06:36] Do you guys want to introduce yourselves real quick? Sure, I'll start.

[06:06:38] My name is Tucker and I'm the current world record holder

[06:06:41] for Y2 Challenge Road.

[06:06:43] Oh, big shout out.

[06:06:44] Whoa!

[06:06:47] My name's Ed Shee.

[06:06:48] I've run a lot of Pokemon games over the years,

[06:06:49] and I've run this game as well.

[06:06:51] If you recognize me,

[06:06:53] I just ran Pokemon Diamond at AGDQ this year

[06:06:55] so that might be why.

[06:06:57] I'm Swiftaloo. I, I run some book one games but more specifically people know me for Gen 5.

[06:07:01] Uh, I ran Colosseum last year at SGQ 23.

[06:07:05] Yeah!

[06:07:06] Yeah so your first question right away with this category is what is a challenge mode so

[06:07:12] challenge mode is one of the two um extra difficulties that were added exclusive to black

[06:07:17] 2y2 they're the only like, official difficulty settings that were ever introduced

[06:07:21] in Pokemon. The process

[06:07:23] is kind of convoluted. You saw me kind of do

[06:07:25] something in a menu and there was

[06:07:27] some mention of key settings and stuff like that

[06:07:29] Basically, there was a whole thing

[06:07:32] with the infrared feature

[06:07:34] that the later DS cartridges had

[06:07:36] where you could transfer keys between copies

[06:07:39] to unlock keys and stuff.

[06:07:40] So you actually unlocked challenge mode

[06:07:42] by first beating Pokemon Black 2,

[06:07:44] and then to run challenge mode on White 2,

[06:07:48] you didn't have to use the IR

[06:07:50] between two different cartridges

[06:07:51] to send the key over

[06:07:52] so that you could then play challenge mode in Black 2 I.R. Between two different cartridges to send the key over

[06:07:52] So you can then play challenge mode in white 2

[06:07:55] It's really awesome and it's why nobody knows about this feature

[06:07:58] Yeah, it's a bit of a convoluted process

[06:08:00] And i know as a kid when i played these games casually

[06:08:02] I was kind of the one that always liked to hold on

[06:08:04] to my save file after I beat the game

[06:08:06] and never really reset it.

[06:08:08] So I never got the opportunity

[06:08:10] to play this as a kid but

[06:08:12] When I came back to this game as a speedrunner,

[06:08:14] I've come to fall in love with this category.

[06:08:16] It's definitely one of the more challenging ones

[06:08:18] is what the name implies.

[06:08:20] Do you guys want to go into it a little bit

[06:08:22] as to why it is challenging

[06:08:24] and what makes challenge mode challenging?

[06:08:26] Yeah, so in challenger mode quite a few things change.

[06:08:31] Mainly the levels of the opponents pretty much all the opponents get at least a one level

[06:08:36] boost

[06:08:37] and uh especially for the boss trainers

[06:08:40] the boss trainer is getting extra

[06:08:41] pokemon

[06:08:42] their ivs which are kind of attached

[06:08:45] to your stats are all set to pretty much max or set to 31

[06:08:49] or a 30 out of 31 and um they also get new pokemon did i already mention that and uh yeah the eye is also good um as usual

[06:09:00] and uh they might have good items better moves and so on anything to make the run more challenging

[06:09:06] yeah and we'll go into detail on this specific changes

[06:09:08] in every fight as it shows up

[06:09:10] The interesting thing too is that you do

[06:09:12] unlock at the end of game and you can't just make your save file

[06:09:14] a challenge mode file and everything else

[06:09:16] that you do in the game is challenge mode harder but uh they

[06:09:19] didn't make it so if you do reset you actually everything in the game is harder even like

[06:09:22] the third gym leader or whatever so like it was built in mind to actually play from

[06:09:27] the beginning even though it's very hard to do so yeah i imagine

[06:09:30] most people who enable challenger mode in their gameplay did not have it on before beating

[06:09:35] the game itself no especially since you needed the opposite cart from what we're playing to do that.

[06:09:42] Why are we playing on white 2?

[06:09:44] Oh, perfect!

[06:09:45] So there are two major reasons why we play on white 2 versus Black 2. The first one is actually,

[06:09:51] we have a required fight. Charles, Heartbreaker Charles

[06:09:55] I'm sure many people know him and are a fan of him. He's actually

[06:09:59] triple battle in this game which is where you do three Pokémon at once on the field.

[06:10:02] Kind of similar to a double battle just adding an extra one.

[06:10:05] But in Black 2 he's actually a rotation battle and

[06:10:07] The AI acts really weird and very slow when it's a rotation battle where it's like one Pokemon, but you can switch freely between them without taking up a turn.

[06:10:17] There is also an extra trainer that you have to fight in an area later which is Reversal y2 doesn't have that so that's pretty much the

[06:10:25] reasons why we do it if you really want to play back then you could obviously but it is slower

[06:10:29] so yeah he'll be running by two here today and we we're seeing TTS just get a starter, Tepeg

[06:10:33] here as the main of choice

[06:10:35] for most of the early game part

[06:10:37] of this speedrun. Tepeg

[06:10:39] fire pig guy

[06:10:41] What's special about Tepig?

[06:10:44] Well, Tepig is definitely better than

[06:10:47] Oshwod and Snivy. That's really what's special about it, just

[06:10:49] better than the other one! I mean... It's serviceable until

[06:10:52] you know we can switch off of it which

[06:10:53] we will be doing about

[06:10:55] like 50 minutes into the run yeah. Yeah, i mean it's special because

[06:10:58] it's the third firefighting type we got in a row!

[06:11:03] And we're not even gonna to get to the firefighting,

[06:11:04] the cool part of it.

[06:11:05] The big guy.

[06:11:06] Well,

[06:11:06] big night's firefighting.

[06:11:07] Oh true.

[06:11:08] But we're not getting into

[06:11:08] the big,

[06:11:09] big guy.

[06:11:09] No,

[06:11:10] he didn't either.

[06:11:12] Um,

[06:11:12] so yeah,

[06:11:12] so now it's time for

[06:11:13] the royal fight again.

[06:11:14] Normal kind of standard Pokemon story stuff.

[06:11:17] White 2 is a sequel to the original game so

[06:11:19] It isn't based in the same region but everything

[06:11:21] Is out-of-order in terms of locations you go to

[06:11:24] And the stories take place what two years after right yes

[06:11:26] two years after the events of black and white one yeah so uh still the normal pokemon stuff

[06:11:31] we're gonna fight our rival and this is already challenged no taking into effect normally your

[06:11:34] rivals only level five here already juiced up to

[06:11:37] level six and still just loses excellent stuff

[06:11:40] and as a result of uh the opponent's pokemon being higher

[06:11:43] level you will gain more xd than you would in normal mode

[06:11:46] yeah and fun fact with that too there is also

[06:11:48] an easy mode if your curious that's what you unlock

[06:11:50] when you beat white 2 and that run

[06:11:52] more annoying because things get less experience

[06:11:54] Yeah it's actually harder

[06:12:07] Nobody has really done easy mode. No. Really quickly while TTS is just focusing on movement stuff we can do a couple donations.

[06:12:09] Yeah you got it!

[06:12:10] I just want to shout out We Are Over 11K

[06:12:11] on that Fight Cynthia incentive.

[06:12:13] Y'all are doing so good.

[06:12:15] Wow!

[06:12:16] We just started.

[06:12:20] And I also just want to remind everyone, we've got a bid war right now for Drilbur's nickname.

[06:12:25] We're going to be seeing Drilbur coming up in a little bit.

[06:12:28] Right now, Blahaj in the lead with 1118.50 but not too far behind 861 is my cat

[06:12:37] don't leave an exclamation point fun fact with the blahaj

[06:12:40] is uh we actually can't put that A character in, so if you want to bid more to outbid that

[06:12:44] So we have a legal name for the DS, that'd be cool but also Blahaja's cool

[06:12:50] Honestly both great plans Is Bl's your pokemon though it is now yes okay

[06:12:56] we've also got a donation 25 from the shaded master

[06:13:00] says i forgot to show but I took five extra deaths

[06:13:03] so here's $25 for buying fruit gummies.

[06:13:05] Save the world!

[06:13:07] My final message, Bergy.

[06:13:11] Time for one more? Yeah, do it.

[06:13:13] $25 from PhoenixMellior says may Alisa be kind to you TTS! Also hey Switchaloo what's your favorite grass and ghost type Pokemon?

[06:13:23] Pumpkaboo!

[06:13:26] Thank you.

[06:13:29] So yeah, so more movement stuff here again. TTS has to focus here.

[06:13:32] This is part of the kind of RNG minute. Do you want to explain just how the orange human that was working right now? Yeah, so basically TTS kind of set his time

[06:13:40] To a specific date and time because RNG mid up is actually based on time, or at least setting the seed.

[06:13:46] So TTS knows what he gets based on setting all that early in the run

[06:13:51] and now because he has RNG mid-up

[06:13:53] hopefully he carries it until

[06:13:56] Until he gets back to his first ship for the first gym

[06:14:00] He will have no encounters that are unnecessary

[06:14:03] He will encounter hopefully a Pidove and a Psyduck.

[06:14:06] He'll catch them so that we can use him later

[06:14:10] And he has also already ended up the Tepig stats

[06:14:15] to be pretty much max IVs and a good nature which is rash,

[06:14:18] which boost your special attack and lowers your special defense

[06:14:21] which is not needed. And that ends up being the best

[06:14:25] nature for you you know,

[06:14:27] the fights early on.

[06:14:28] Yeah, the minips in this game are like super...

[06:14:31] Explaining everything about how the RNG minip works

[06:14:33] is super complicated and super time consuming

[06:14:35] so we're not going to do that but yeah basically

[06:14:37] TTS just has

[06:14:37] to be very precise movement and inputs for this early section

[06:14:41] doesn't hold it super long.

[06:14:43] It's not too bad.

[06:14:44] And then the other unique thing with Gen 5

[06:14:46] is that you actually have to make

[06:14:48] your own minute for your own ds because

[06:14:50] your ds's wi-fi card influences the seeds you can hit it's very uh annoying but it's kind of

[06:14:57] a cool thing about it too as every runs everyone every runner's kind of the cool thing about it too, is every runner's runs and minips are different as a result.

[06:15:02] There're some slight variations but it does add that barrier to entry

[06:15:05] to running this specific category with these specific minips.

[06:15:09] So if you were hoping to run the game using TTS's

[06:15:12] manips don't because it probably won't work.

[06:15:16] But the thing is Swiftaloo does have

[06:15:17] a video on how to make your own RNG manip.

[06:15:19] So if you are curious, you can always check that out.

[06:15:21] If you do see this running and you're like,

[06:15:22] This is really cool. I want to do this.

[06:15:23] It's not that hard.

[06:15:24] It's just time consuming.

[06:15:26] Or for the right price, they'll sell my DS.

[06:15:28] There you go.

[06:15:29] You could have a GDQ used Nintendo DS system with the capture card built in for $499.99 right now or donate and we can,

[06:15:39] you can take a picture of it. It's a beautiful dark blue, you definitely want

[06:15:42] it. It is electric blue as the DS is called yeah no that's

[06:15:46] the technical name for it. That was my child at the S2

[06:15:49] but getting into another battle here these battles are are very straightforward, nothing too scary.

[06:15:53] Again still holding the RNG nymph here but we'll be catching a Pidove pretty soon as Tekka was mentioning.

[06:16:01] Yeah so this fight is pretty simple it It's just a two-hit.

[06:16:04] We actually have Ember as opposed to normal mode because we are level 7.

[06:16:08] And thanks for the rival experience it actually matters already which is amazing.

[06:16:12] Yeah and its really good because that's a fire type move

[06:16:16] because there's a mechanic in this game called same type attack bonus when you share the same

[06:16:20] type as a move that you use you get a boost to it, which means you're doing

[06:16:25] a lot more damage.

[06:16:27] Tepig is mostly a physical attacker

[06:16:29] because there's two different types of attacks, special attack

[06:16:31] and physical attack.

[06:16:33] Tepig's more of a physical attacker but because um of the same type of

[06:16:37] deck bonus uh it just does so much really good crit which are 1 in 16 by the way and do double

[06:16:43] damage in this gym double damage and they ignore any negative stat

[06:16:47] modifiers. Yeah, that'll be relevant later.

[06:16:50] So yeah, funny movement here.

[06:16:51] Again, all part of the manip. And if you're wondering is that

[06:16:53] critically it was manipulated? No, we're not

[06:16:55] manipulating battles. You can't really reasonably do it.

[06:16:57] I think TASCAN but...

[06:16:59] Oh shoot! We already talked about critical hits before this?

[06:17:01] Yeah, here we go.

[06:17:03] Okay, you used up your crit luck on the previous one.

[06:17:05] Yeah, you don't want to crit this because you actually

[06:17:07] are trying to catch it.

[06:17:08] HMs are still required in this game.

[06:17:10] This is Gen 5.

[06:17:11] This was before they removed them several Gens later.

[06:17:14] But the key thing is that there's very few HMs

[06:17:15] you actually need to use in speedrun. They calm down after

[06:17:19] Gen 4, so got the Padove

[06:17:21] no problem. We need Padove for Fly

[06:17:22] and then we're also going to get a Psyduck for

[06:17:25] Strength and Surf

[06:17:26] and that's all you need for the run. you don't need Cut or any other ones.

[06:17:29] Yeah. And a crit-or a 1 in 16 high roll

[06:17:33] which we'll get into later kills after Dove

[06:17:37] and luckily he got the catch. It a 96 with that rule and now it's time to fight

[06:17:41] another rival uh which once again tps will kind of steamroll uh fun fact with this rattle fight

[06:17:47] i think in the first one too, it has like throw AI.

[06:17:50] So if you just try and...

[06:17:52] If you just spam Tail Whip on it

[06:17:53] and deliberately not trying to knock it out

[06:17:55] it will also try to not knock you out

[06:17:58] because it wants you do this KO-It for you.

[06:18:00] It's very funny. That's kind of common in a lot

[06:18:01] of Pokemon games but this is one where it's like

[06:18:03] very extreme, like oh I will not do it.

[06:18:05] I didn't know that!

[06:18:07] I've run this game and I didn't know that.

[06:18:09] Uh...I know in like Let's Go P, Pikachu and Eevee they try not to but if they can still

[06:18:14] crit you when they don't plant them...

[06:18:16] Yeah, that's the case in Gen 5 too because they don't disable the crits on this

[06:18:18] channel for the rebel bites.

[06:18:19] Right right.

[06:18:20] And even in Let's Go sometimes when they- they don't want to but sometimes they just will because you're taking too long or whatever.

[06:18:26] But yeah really quickly while more are moving here we can do another donation room too.

[06:18:30] I would love it! We've got $25.10 from Perpetual Sheep, donating 251 for one of my favorite Pokémon, Backwards Chikorita! People are getting creative with these. We've got 2540 from Azamal, with a haiku.

[06:18:48] You know the grass sheep such prank greatness, such fluff.

[06:18:54] Whimsicott my love."

[06:18:56] Oh!

[06:18:58] There it is.

[06:19:00] Look at that.

[06:19:04] This is like a Halloween scary one.

[06:19:05] I love it! It does have the glaring wheezing hat thing, anyway we can do another donation

[06:19:09] Sure thing, we've got $10 from Bungie to

[06:19:13] The Tree so proud to get to watch you run White 2 again on $1,000 from Bungie to the tree.

[06:19:15] So proud to get to watch you run white 2 again on a big stage.

[06:19:19] I think TTS stands for the top golf superstar.

[06:19:24] Yeah.

[06:19:25] This guy? Okay we got the Psyduck awesome this is like the big thing you want to make

[06:19:29] sure we get them in it for its not guaranteed to catch again the battle orange he's not

[06:19:32] manipulated but yeah TTS really good at soft golf he brought his like golf glove and his own clubs and stuff yeah the golf hat

[06:19:40] uh hardcore but this is a 72 or it's just 62. this is um closer to 60.

[06:19:49] Yeah probably 60 would be my best.

[06:19:53] This is... this can happen and this really like kills top level runs.

[06:19:55] These breakups are very slow.

[06:19:59] It's not enough just to have perfect movement for 20 minutes this guy can also just say nah yeah reset yeah and as we said before we can't really rng manipulate battles

[06:20:05] um i actually found out recently from casualualPokerPlayer that the touchscreen affects battle RNG, so

[06:20:11] that's really cool.

[06:20:12] Thanks Cpp!

[06:20:13] It was like touching the touch screen?

[06:20:15] Yes!

[06:20:16] Cool!

[06:20:17] Love that!

[06:20:18] Alright, so you want to explain spinners?

[06:20:20] Yeah, we just passed a spinner right there. Right now he still has RNG minutes

[06:20:23] So we kind of know what he's going to do

[06:20:26] As you can see there

[06:20:27] He obviously knew that he was gonna turn

[06:20:29] Which is pretty sick.

[06:20:31] But most spinners in this game...

[06:20:33] We don't have RNG Miniforce so we're gonna drop it pretty soon

[06:20:36] but we have guaranteed methods to pass spinners just by using movement tech

[06:20:40] because we know that they're on

[06:20:40] specific timing cycles.

[06:20:43] So, we know basically

[06:20:45] whenever they're going to spin or

[06:20:47] whenever they have the opportunity to spin and we can safely check.

[06:20:50] There's also spinner setups which we can safely check. There's also spinner setups, which

[06:20:52] we can use based on entering an area

[06:20:56] and just knowing when a spinner is loaded in

[06:21:00] and having a consistent timing. It's kind of the same

[06:21:03] thing, really.

[06:21:05] We'll see it in action pretty soon.

[06:21:07] You don't want to hit a spinner because it's an optional

[06:21:09] trainer.

[06:21:10] That's time loss.

[06:21:16] Who's that guy in the funny outfit earlier

[06:21:27] what team plasma oh didn't see i don't know i He asked me if we ever heard of him, but I have no idea who that is. Yeah, we'll figure it out.

[06:21:28] I'm sure he won't be important.

[06:21:30] Our characters shouldn't know...

[06:21:32] Well, I guess they might know.

[06:21:34] Depends how old they might know. Team Plasma from the news, right? I don't know.

[06:21:37] Depends how old they were two years ago.

[06:21:38] I don't know what age it is.

[06:21:41] It doesn't really look like Team Plasma anyway.

[06:21:41] Anyway... They completely changed their outfits right uh we're gonna

[06:21:45] learn how to play pokemon now so uh we're going to go to trainer school

[06:21:50] where we're going to learn a couple things really quickly though tts is going to pick up an

[06:21:53] x speed i will explain this more in detail later but basically x items

[06:21:57] boost your stats if you've seen a pokemon shooter before you know them very well i have no idea how

[06:22:02] to play pokemon because someone told me um they're gonna tell you right now. Oh, okay! I just know TTS is going kind of fast so

[06:22:09] i might not be able to keep up with this. Yeah reading is hard but um...

[06:22:13] I think they're trying to teach us tight matchups. Yes is this is like the hot moment but as a whole

[06:22:19] like set of two fights several dents earlier yeah we're gonna fight grass type and then water type

[06:22:23] so you can use ember on this one in super effective hit it and then use the ember

[06:22:26] on the watermelon you're like're like, oh no!

[06:22:28] It doesn't do that much damage. So we're going to tackle that one instead.

[06:22:31] Something to note here though is we almost

[06:22:32] got into Blaze but we did not actually

[06:22:34] do it. What is Blaze?

[06:22:36] So Blaze is when your HP is below 1 third of your max HP.

[06:22:42] When it is you actually get a 50% boost to your fire type moves

[06:22:47] On top of that same type attack bonus, Stu you're doing a lot of damage!

[06:22:51] It's really useful especially for some of the early game Pokemon runs where

[06:22:54] you're not getting free heals everywhere but we're going to be using it a few times in this run until we switch off of our poor

[06:23:03] Tep Pig here.

[06:23:04] Yeah, and of course it does have the danger of low HP means you will faint much easier

[06:23:08] And in challenge mode it is much scarier a lot of the time because

[06:23:11] things will just destroy you out of nowhere but a lot of times the risk of being in blaze

[06:23:16] is kind of worth it tts would probably heal a little bit extra than he normally

[06:23:19] would because obviously marathon run and i promise you

[06:23:21] tts will be able to speak soon because our argument of stuff is almost over very soon

[06:23:28] uh so we can do a couple more donations while Tethios wraps this up.

[06:23:32] We have so many donations, it's incredible!

[06:23:36] We are over $14000 on the way to that Fightsympia incentive!

[06:23:42] Also my cat! to that fight simpy incentive. Also,

[06:23:43] my cat is creeping up

[06:23:45] in that bid war

[06:23:46] and I think we don't have too much time left

[06:23:49] so make sure

[06:23:50] to bid for your favorite Drillbur name.

[06:23:53] We've also, I don't know how the couch and runner feel about puns

[06:23:56] I'm generally split on them

[06:23:57] I love them

[06:23:58] But Pokemon, okay great

[06:24:00] Well we got $250 from Dumbbell who says how do you fit 10 Snorlaxes onto a bus?

[06:24:08] You poke them on.

[06:24:10] Oh!

[06:24:12] I don't get it.

[06:24:17] A devastating groan from the audience! Also we got $52 from Psychoper who says,

[06:24:20] Here's $52 for Meowth. Just a cool cat.

[06:24:24] I agree.

[06:24:27] $25 from Aveline says, got an idea watching GDQ and I had

[06:24:31] light bulb-a-saur appear over my head. Is there a light bulb Pokemon?

[06:24:36] There's a candle Pokemon.

[06:24:39] Oh, yeah.

[06:24:40] The new one.

[06:24:42] Thank you audience.

[06:24:44] So the RNG mask is basically done now. You can technically adjust it I forgot. Right, thank you audience.

[06:24:47] So yeah the RNG mess is basically done now.

[06:24:49] You can technically extend it.

[06:24:51] TTS will not be doing that.

[06:24:55] He's just gonna wrap it up here and not worry about it mostly because he has to save for the gym battle.

[06:24:57] Because turns out our hometown is also the town of the first gym leader, that's why we're coming back to it.

[06:24:59] This is Charon from the first game

[06:25:01] now has his own gyms all grown up

[06:25:03] and like most

[06:25:05] gyms in this game this or at least most gyms in this game, this gym sucks.

[06:25:08] The first two trainers are usually not

[06:25:10] terrifying but they can just

[06:25:12] cause time loss and you're very unlikely to die

[06:25:14] unless you're taking risks like Blaze or whatever.

[06:25:16] But the real issue is Charon, but

[06:25:19] anything noteworthy with these

[06:25:20] trainer fights?

[06:25:22] Not too significant, but

[06:25:24] as you mentioned, the first gems are

[06:25:26] usually the toughest because the level gap is not that big um

[06:25:32] because we're not steamrolling yet and it's challenging a really even higher level too so

[06:25:36] it's just amplified to give another level're on an uneven platform because of

[06:25:40] they all get an IV bump, cause

[06:25:42] as the game

[06:25:44] progresses usually

[06:25:46] significant trainers like gym leaders and E4 kind

[06:25:48] of get IVs like bumps slowly throughout the

[06:25:51] throughout the game but uh in challenge mode they just start all at 30

[06:25:56] at the start which is extremely bad situation for us,

[06:26:02] because we already use our G-Minute

[06:26:04] to have our Tepig be as cracked

[06:26:06] as it basically can be.

[06:26:08] And we're basically just on even platforming

[06:26:11] with some of the trainers.

[06:26:12] So you want to talk about IVs a little bit?

[06:26:13] Yeah, you kind of mentioned it

[06:26:15] a little bit but yeah TLDR

[06:26:18] It goes from zero to 31

[06:26:20] It's basically just a description of the ceiling of how your

[06:26:22] stats can go and how good they are in general.

[06:26:25] So 31 special attack for example is

[06:26:27] the best possible one. It doesn't mean that

[06:26:29] like 0 to 31 special attack at level

[06:26:31] 5 there's not that much difference but over the course of

[06:26:33] the game as he is like 100 the gap is massive um so yeah our type here is basically max ivs very

[06:26:40] very important to actually doing a lot damage but more importantly not dying which is the key

[06:26:45] point of challenge mode um there will be lots of safety saves yes yes especially in this early

[06:26:51] game yeah can you imagine doing this without like a minute

[06:26:56] early game would just be brutal it's we cannot stress out bad these early games and leaders but

[06:27:01] we're getting up to chairing here uh sharon has an extra Pokemon, right?

[06:27:05] What's the extra Pokemon?

[06:27:07] Oh gosh.

[06:27:09] Yeah!

[06:27:10] We're really quickly though, we're learning defense curl.

[06:27:12] Very rare I know in a Pokemon suit

[06:27:13] you don't actually learn a defensive move. A move that doesn't do damage and also doesn't increase your attack it's wild

[06:27:18] but i assure you it is very necessary for this next fight

[06:27:24] key thing with this is we kind of just spam Ember on it.

[06:27:27] We just spam Ember and Fray. Spam Ember and Fray, but we're going to start with the Defense Curl here or else

[06:27:31] we are gonna get the healing up, save... I believe you also give a

[06:27:35] Oran Berry right? Yeah we do because we're kind of tight on healing and especially mid-battle healing.

[06:27:39] I do have one Fresh Water given to me by Clyde at the start of the gym

[06:27:43] which is actually really clutch because otherwise like a potion would just not

[06:27:47] cover our healing situation here at all. Yeah the defense scroll is

[06:27:51] really nice, because it does lower their overall damage output but because you're

[06:27:54] four to five shotting these things they're also getting a lot of hits in on you,

[06:27:59] and again...

[06:28:00] Can lead to critical hit.

[06:28:01] One in 16 chance to crit,

[06:28:03] double damage if it goes,

[06:28:04] and he also goes completely through the defensive roll

[06:28:05] as we kind of mentioned earlier with both the stages,

[06:28:08] so crits are awful.

[06:28:09] Not to also mention that Channel Send-Up, Pit Up Blast and Pit Up

[06:28:13] actually has the ability Super Luck which doubles the crit chance

[06:28:15] from 1 in 16 to 1 in 8.

[06:28:17] Yeah so most runs die to this pit up.

[06:28:22] An overwhelming amount yeah if you're alive at this point your pace is okay yeah you make it through 20 minutes of perfect movement you go

[06:28:27] through uh like a 60 catch chance on the side upduck and then you die to the Dofus.

[06:28:31] Yeah, so that's a really good roll for Rat. This Rat is like an 84-ish

[06:28:35] percent 3 hit I think? So it's really nice to get

[06:28:39] first rolled to do a ton of damage there. It also helps

[06:28:41] minimize the amount of damage I

[06:28:43] take from Patrat because it just makes

[06:28:45] Lollipop a little bit safer, but I can still

[06:28:47] just get owned on a win by

[06:28:49] a crit here so... Okay,'s awesome really good in our favor

[06:28:53] yeah the scary thing here is we're going to be going into blaze pretty soon

[06:28:56] uh which you do want for the bedove however uh okay okay

[06:29:02] by the way to get that.

[06:29:05] You like to see burns in this fight?

[06:29:07] Yeah.

[06:29:08] Burns half of the opponent's physical attack damage and they all use physical attacks.

[06:29:13] Work up there

[06:29:24] yeah normally you take like 6 damage It'll do 18

[06:29:26] with a critical hit

[06:29:28] We'll explain how the amatiles work right after this fight

[06:29:32] But yeah that's what happens This is again how most runs die

[06:29:35] and most friends that get past this point

[06:29:36] will probably die to the next gym leader

[06:29:38] and most ones I guess at that point

[06:29:39] we'll probably die to them on it for that.

[06:29:42] It's just a, awful category.

[06:29:44] Big shout-outs to Tuffer and TTS for grinding it as hard

[06:29:47] as they have to get really good times in it because

[06:29:49] someone who has grinded it is awful.

[06:29:52] It is very taxing mentally speedrun.

[06:29:55] Really test your patience.

[06:29:56] But the good news is once you get past like

[06:29:57] the really bad stuff it's pretty chill for the rest of the way.

[06:30:00] I don't know what you guys are talking about

[06:30:01] but I never had a challenge for this one

[06:30:02] and I'm always having a good time!

[06:30:05] It's like the meme where two people are riding a bus Always having a good time. Yes, any person is nicer.

[06:30:06] It's like the meme where two people are riding a bus and you're in a happy sunshine.

[06:30:09] Yeah!

[06:30:11] Exactly it!

[06:30:12] Also one crossroads from Yu-Gi-Oh with the happy place and sad place.

[06:30:16] One side's normal mode,

[06:30:17] the other one is challenge mode.

[06:30:19] And then easy mode is like further off on

[06:30:21] the side. Easy mode would be

[06:30:25] just that underwater meme where it's like the skeleton under the water.

[06:30:30] Yeah, welcome to memes 101 with your coach here.

[06:30:34] So there's more ember here did not get as many crits or burns, but now we're in Blaze

[06:30:40] But this HP is really low. Yeah, this was an instant heal for Pidove

[06:30:44] So at least it won't die to crit so that's cool

[06:30:47] I'm gonna just use a potion because I want to keep my health low for the next gems

[06:30:50] Which is like basically right after this one which really sucks because it still puts you in

[06:30:54] Interesting spots for quick attack to completely on you. So that's the normal click attack damage

[06:30:58] You're seeing now.

[06:30:59] And now we're in blaze, which is exactly what you want because then

[06:31:01] you can two-shot from here and there we go.

[06:31:02] Perfect.

[06:31:03] All right.

[06:31:04] There we go.

[06:31:05] We'll take second try.

[06:31:08] Very nice.

[06:31:09] Very nice. And HP. And we are we're learning a new move, Flame Charge.

[06:31:12] It is a 50 base power physical fire move that boosts speed every time you use it

[06:31:18] and considering that Tepp topic is a physical attacker,

[06:31:22] a fire type and is slow. It appreciates all of that. Yeah and you'll notice we completely

[06:31:28] abandoned defense curl like immediately after fighting Jaren. It's literally just this, yeah.

[06:31:32] You could get an X-Defend in

[06:31:34] the gym and use it on that fight and get the same effect

[06:31:36] but we really need the X-Defend for later

[06:31:38] so we're not going to be doing that

[06:31:40] and we also got Workout which we'll talk about later.

[06:31:43] But we can do a few donations to celebrate our victory here.

[06:31:46] You got it! I'm gonna try and speedrun some of these.

[06:31:49] Yeah.

[06:31:50] We've got $59 from Kazumi who says Gen 5 is my least played generation so we're looking forward to seeing it in action. Also 3 plus hours of potential dex donations? Sign me up! This one goes to BestestBoyArcanine.

[06:32:00] $328 from TrapinchManiac happy to be attending GDQ for the first time.

[06:32:05] 328 for my favorite Pokemon! Remember to use one hand

[06:32:08] to support your Trapinches big head at all times.

[06:32:11] $171 from Anonymous. Here's 171 for the cutest electric

[06:32:15] fish, Lantern! Super excited

[06:32:17] for the white 2-run.

[06:32:19] You should just cut me off whenever I'm gonna keep going.

[06:32:21] You can keep going for a while.

[06:32:23] 197 from Stars Eclipsed,

[06:32:26] sorry that's $197

[06:32:27] to be clear.

[06:32:29] Umbreon Poker Dex

[06:32:29] donation for all those

[06:32:30] Pokemon prizes,

[06:32:31] excited for the

[06:32:32] Pokemon White Run!

[06:32:33] So,

[06:32:34] a bit of a routing challenge that Echi kind of implied with his mentioning the XFM there and how we can't really use it for this fight.

[06:32:41] We actually get access to X items extremely late in this game compared to a lot of the

[06:32:47] other Pokemon runs. We can't buy

[06:32:49] X items until just before we get to

[06:32:50] the seventh gym, but the game at least

[06:32:52] throws us a bone and gives us one of every

[06:32:55] battle item I guess is what they're

[06:32:57] generally called that we can pick up kind of along the

[06:33:00] way especially in the early game to kind of help out

[06:33:02] later so we do pick up the x attack, x speed and x defend because they're

[06:33:06] the three that are most useful for

[06:33:08] us in order to survive

[06:33:10] some of the more challenging fights.

[06:33:12] We'll mention where they get used as we go along

[06:33:14] but it's just an interesting

[06:33:15] routing challenge that you have to deal with, and also it's why

[06:33:19] it makes running a lot of alt mains which is a subcategory

[06:33:23] that we like to do for a lot of different Pokemon runs where

[06:33:27] try to use different mains and what's just the fastest

[06:33:29] just kind of like a challenge speed run kind of thing it's also really messed because in black

[06:33:34] and white one you're able to actually buy x items in i think like the third town, like Nvema

[06:33:40] or no not Nvema sorry, Necrin

[06:33:42] um

[06:33:43] yeah they're still there. You can buy them

[06:33:46] but that's post game so you're not

[06:33:48] visiting that anytime soon

[06:33:49] Yeah and the messed up thing is so you're not visiting that anytime soon. Yeah.

[06:33:51] And the messed up thing is like, even though

[06:33:53] you can't get them out to the 7th gym

[06:33:55] we're just not gonna do it anyway because it's too slow

[06:33:57] and we don't need it anyway really. Right

[06:33:59] We just barely don't need them. Yeah, if it was like right there maybe you could buy them.

[06:34:01] They're in a Pokemon Center probably but not really worth it so...

[06:34:05] Can I jump in real quick?

[06:34:07] Yes please.

[06:34:08] I just want to say our bid war for Drillberter's nickname is down to $1 between the top two choices.

[06:34:15] 1123 for Blahaj and 1122 for my cat!

[06:34:19] Amazing, how are we doing on Cynthia?

[06:34:22] We're doing amazing on Cynthia,

[06:34:24] $16,593 out of that $40,000 goal almost halfway.

[06:34:30] You all want to see the super boss of the game,

[06:34:32] you get to hear the mean piano music that everyone loves so...

[06:34:36] And I know that estimate makes it look like a long run but its gonna fly by so make sure to mark those donations with the fight cindy incentive for sure as you saw there we

[06:34:45] do have repels now so again more reason to not need rng minute we can just skip all their random

[06:34:51] encounters and we will be doing that for the rest of the game. And there is one nice change

[06:34:56] that uh yeah so in Black & White 2 specifically they made the change where you could actually

[06:35:02] refresh your repel without going back into a menu it is an amazing feature

[06:35:07] i'm so glad they did this because it has been present in every other pokemon game but so now

[06:35:12] that we do have repels that does um help us not have to deal with

[06:35:16] encounters because you can't really hold on g minip anymore

[06:35:18] except for in one case where an encounter can show up anyway

[06:35:22] yeah i'm sure that won't happen now that

[06:35:25] you've mentioned it.

[06:35:26] Yeah, right. So now that we beat the first gym there's actually a mechanic specific to Gen 5 known as Phenomenon

[06:35:31] so every 20 steps that you take there is a random RNG check

[06:35:34] to see if a phenomenon should spawn nearby.

[06:35:36] And it happens quite a lot in this run,

[06:35:38] and they can be kind of trolly because sometimes

[06:35:40] they pop up right in front of you without a lot

[06:35:42] of opportunity to react with.

[06:35:44] So Swift here has your wonderful whiteboard for us.

[06:35:46] Which I need to write a phenomenon on, So Swift here has a wonderful whiteboard for us.

[06:35:47] Which I need to write Phenomenon and I don't know how to spell it, so someone donate

[06:35:51] to tell me how to spell it?

[06:35:55] Do you want to mention the spinner setup thing while you're here?

[06:35:57] Yeah, there's a spinner that You can barely see her next to the stairs there.

[06:36:00] Her name is Len and she is the worst spinner in the game by far.

[06:36:04] I made sure to enter this route on a specific tile

[06:36:06] So that I will have an easy opportunity

[06:36:09] to check. Unfortunately, she turned

[06:36:11] so I cannot get past her here

[06:36:12] There would be a way to

[06:36:15] if she was facing away

[06:36:17] just walk into her vision and then run out of it and

[06:36:19] that would let me get by without her being seen but instead i kind of

[06:36:22] have to back it up doing what's called step back

[06:36:24] which is basically i'm two steps away from her first tile of vision

[06:36:28] um and then i will wait for her to turn away to where i'm trying to pass her,

[06:36:32] and then I'll flash my menu real quick to see if she spun back because between the time it takes

[06:36:37] to lock that one tile and just natural human reaction time.

[06:36:41] I can kind of check to make sure that her cycle for when

[06:36:44] she's going to check the spin again is long enough

[06:36:46] for me to take that next walk tile into her vision,

[06:36:49] and then I can just get out of it without encountering her.

[06:36:52] It's a very easy trick, anyone can do it at home

[06:36:54] and it works in both Gen 4 and Gen 5.

[06:36:56] Yeah, obviously we can't do the Gen 3

[06:36:58] trick of just opening the bag to reset

[06:37:00] the spinner cycles, doesn't work so you have to do that we're entering uh i

[06:37:05] don't remember the name of this perfect burbank city uh this is the town of the second gym leader

[06:37:10] roxy right there on the screen. She is the poison type

[06:37:13] gym leader which as you all can probably assume that means

[06:37:15] it's awful so going

[06:37:17] into this, this gym sucks as well

[06:37:19] and uh you saw

[06:37:21] TTS actually got some free Petra Berries whichBarris, which is really clutch and immediately equipped them.

[06:37:25] Yes.

[06:37:26] Petch-A-Barries immediately heal your poison if they are equipped and you get poisoned

[06:37:29] and that is really important for a gym where basically everything can poison you.

[06:37:32] You know, you've got room on that whiteboard for a death counter too. That

[06:37:34] might be a good idea because there's going to be quite a few I would imagine. There's already one?

[06:37:39] Yeah, we're ready at one. So I encourage everyone at home to do the same. For each phenomenon that appears,

[06:37:46] I'm going to donate $1 in five if I have to go into one or like

[06:37:51] if one just goes infront of me and I get screwed um and i will donate five bucks for every day

[06:37:57] so uh if anyone wants to match it at home feel free we'll keep track you know

[06:38:02] so you don't have to do it yourself nice stuff touch. So this is the second

[06:38:07] gym, it's a poison gym which is

[06:38:08] really nice that the game throws us a bone

[06:38:11] and gives us the petra berries because basically everything

[06:38:12] has poison gas which is AD

[06:38:14] accurate and if it does hit then we just get poisoned.

[06:38:17] So the barriers kind of help us trim having to use an antidote

[06:38:20] to heal or like buying antidotes or anything like that.

[06:38:23] You can get crit here because I'm using Blaze

[06:38:26] to try to, like...

[06:38:28] Why would you say it?

[06:38:29] Oh! Okay. That's another one for the board. There we go.

[06:38:35] If you're wondering why TTSK is for a random gym trainer, that's why.

[06:38:39] Yeah if you have money attached to death count... I'm sorry.

[06:38:44] Can I jump in real quick on this reset?

[06:38:47] We have a $1,000 donation from anonymous.

[06:38:51] Thank you so much.

[06:38:53] Also my cat has jumped into the lead in that big war with 1224.

[06:38:59] Blah's lovers. you know what to do.

[06:39:00] Look at this cat! Is this a cat? You can decide.

[06:39:03] But here are donations.

[06:39:06] I think it's Blahar.

[06:39:08] Is this more cat-like or less cat-like?

[06:39:11] Is that a cat?

[06:39:13] Yes.

[06:39:13] This is a cat, yes.

[06:39:15] What are the defining features of a cat?

[06:39:17] Please let us know in the donations.

[06:39:19] Okay, didn't get crit that time!

[06:39:21] I almost said it so I'm glad I did.

[06:39:23] But yeah these coffins are so annoying

[06:39:25] They're like so bulky

[06:39:27] Without Blaze you can't two-shot them

[06:39:29] So they just give more turns to poison you or troll

[06:39:32] you or just be annoying.

[06:39:34] If you get poisoned all the time, you have to keep

[06:39:36] equipping the Petra Berry which is really slow and

[06:39:38] you don't want to heal too much here because you want to keep your

[06:39:39] Blaze but if you're not healing too, you're going to die to crits

[06:39:43] and it's just the whole thing. Yeah, high

[06:39:44] Blaze is like pretty much the best HP

[06:39:46] that you can do. So you can take a hit and then

[06:39:49] still feel good. Yes.

[06:39:50] And again, Blaze is 1 third HP or lower

[06:39:53] so if you're exactly 1 third that's usually like

[06:39:55] a perfect place to be. Except sometimes

[06:39:57] you level up out of Blaze when you don't want to

[06:39:59] so it's specific thresholds in

[06:40:01] specific situations

[06:40:02] Good dodge! Awesome! Yeah, Poison Gas misses specific thresholds in specific situations um good dodge awesome yeah point the guest

[06:40:05] miss is actually really huge there because if i took damage here i'd have to kill for

[06:40:08] coughing because both of them combined will vote me if they choose to attack so

[06:40:13] these uh gym trainers have random ai so it's random what

[06:40:15] they do the coughing um has both tackle assurance as attacking moves along with poison gas so it's

[06:40:21] two thirds i'm gonna get hit basically And the Grimer only has Pound

[06:40:25] but also has Disable which is annoying when that happens

[06:40:27] and Poison Gas

[06:40:29] And now we have to evolve! Which is something

[06:40:31] that doesn't normally happen in any computer

[06:40:33] Thanks to the extra Pokémon that Charon has and the higher level Pokemon in Challenge mode, we get to Pignite.

[06:40:38] And Pignite's useful on Roxy.

[06:40:41] Very nice to have this for the Gym Leader, for sure.

[06:40:44] I'm going to keep my hand as far away from the B button

[06:40:46] as possible, because canceling evos is extremely bad in challenge mode

[06:40:49] As Swift mentioned we're now fire fighting type

[06:40:52] which can be relevant depending on what types are hitting into you

[06:40:55] You can learn arm thrust but it sucks we're not gonna learn it because i just don't need

[06:40:57] fighting type or like anything yeah we're going to teach um a move right away which is the team

[06:41:02] that sharon gave us his workup um it's a setup movement gives you uh plus one stage in physical attack and special attack.

[06:41:09] And it's gonna be...

[06:41:11] Just kind of our carry for this fight, because we're going to use it three times in the fight

[06:41:15] and then sweep everything.

[06:41:17] Yeah, because of the

[06:41:18] 30 IV problem that I mentioned

[06:41:20] Roxy's additional poke

[06:41:22] which is a Grimer is extremely bulky

[06:41:24] so for us to one-shot it we have to be both plus 3

[06:41:26] and emblazed to

[06:41:28] one-shot it. and one-shotting everything here is very crucial

[06:41:33] um because i have to go all the way down to blaze um roxy can just crit me in any of these

[06:41:38] three turns that i'm standingming work up here, so hopefully

[06:41:40] that doesn't happen.

[06:41:41] Why would you say that?

[06:41:42] Well...

[06:41:43] You'd just like to add to the death counter!

[06:41:45] Yeah yeah yeah.

[06:41:47] It's more money for charity.

[06:41:51] What's gonna be higher by the end, The Phenomenon Counter or the Death Counter?

[06:41:55] I sure hope it wouldn't be the death counter but...

[06:41:57] Yeah so as long as you don't get carried here

[06:41:59] it's pretty chill. Just this turn in particular.

[06:42:02] I've got some clarity on the phenomenon spelling.

[06:42:06] $25 from Lexological! How to spell Phenomenon?

[06:42:10] F-I-NOM

[06:42:12] NOM MINIMON

[06:42:14] Very true.

[06:42:18] They know what they're talking about

[06:42:26] Wait, hold on this is too small yeah it's like a digimon name so basically in this place you kind of see like kind of the structure of how

[06:42:31] most of the boss battles are going to work in this game, where you're

[06:42:34] setting up on the first convenient one that you see and then you're sweeping through everything

[06:42:39] else.

[06:42:40] Maybe there's something that can give you a problem in the rest of the fight, but generally this is how it's gonna go.

[06:42:45] So...the threat is usually what you set up on.

[06:42:47] That was very not scary.

[06:42:49] Yeah, yeah.

[06:42:50] That was alright.

[06:42:51] That was okay.

[06:42:52] Considering how often I get crit and the last turn of setup there,

[06:42:54] I'll take not having it happen here.

[06:42:56] Did I do it right?

[06:42:59] Phenomnom. Yeah!

[06:43:02] Something that hasn't come up yet

[06:43:04] that we haven't explained but probably should

[06:43:05] explain it now is the way damage rolls work.

[06:43:08] Did you want to talk about that?

[06:43:10] Yeah so damage rules in this game

[06:43:12] range from like 1-16 or because there are 16 damage rolls. It can be between 85% of your attack

[06:43:19] to 100% of your attack. Basically think of it like rolling a 16 sided die

[06:43:24] I like to compare it to D&D die because if you roll a die,

[06:43:27] you do more damage the higher your roll is.

[06:43:30] And you do less damage the lower roll

[06:43:32] it is or you just miss out right at that one.

[06:43:35] Yeah so whenever we say something is like a 4 out of 16 range that just means there's a 25% chance to knock it out in one hit.

[06:43:43] That also means we usually don't simplify the fractions from like 4 out of 16 to 1 in

[06:43:49] four, but we can sometimes do that.

[06:43:50] It kind of just is random.

[06:43:52] I'm sorry.

[06:43:53] What's one out of 16?

[06:43:54] 6.25%.

[06:43:55] All right so just remember that.

[06:43:57] Write that down on the board and then you'll know if we ever see that.

[06:44:00] What do you want me to write it down?

[06:44:02] Right next to Phenom Nom.

[06:44:05] But yeah, this is the part of the game that's awesome.

[06:44:07] This part's really cool.

[06:44:10] It's actually like a seven-minute donation block.

[06:44:10] Yeah. It's awesome.

[06:44:11] So we're going to watch a sick movie here

[06:44:14] and then TTS is going to participate in a movie

[06:44:16] and act in a movie on his own.

[06:44:18] So while that happens, let's do some donations

[06:44:20] oh i would love to we have 156 dollars from

[06:44:24] tustin2121 time for some pokedex donations

[06:44:28] here's one for quilava, my all-time favorite Pokémon.

[06:44:31] Yes! I love Quilava.

[06:44:32] Quilava's great. $196

[06:44:34] from Army of Thalia.

[06:44:37] Hey GDQ, special thanks to the awesome

[06:44:39] sound and production crew who worked tirelessly behind the scenes

[06:44:42] To make GDQ run so unbelievably smoothly

[06:44:45] Here's $196 for the best Eeveelution

[06:44:47] And my favorite Pokemon, Espeon

[06:44:50] Best of luck to the runner Espeon. Best of luck to the runner.

[06:44:52] Espeon's alright.

[06:44:55] Oh!

[06:44:56] I got some moves back there. You got it on your

[06:44:58] pants and two. I know, I speedrun

[06:45:00] a game where it's used. Hating on it! That's why.

[06:45:04] So, I hope you all brought your popcorn because we're gonna be watching a major blockbuster hit here.

[06:45:09] Yeah, be sure to add this to your letterbox after.

[06:45:17] We have $11.12 from not a clone 11 and 12 cents for the combined dex numbers for my partner's favorite pokemon gallade and volcarona8.90 from Reanimator,

[06:45:25] donating two of my favorite

[06:45:26] Pokemon, Garchomp, in honor

[06:45:28] of both the life-size Garchomp plush that I should

[06:45:30] be getting any day, and Cynthia's Ace.

[06:45:32] Let's get this Cynthia's fight in, shall we?

[06:45:36] And we are at

[06:45:37] $18,000

[06:45:38] $18,528

[06:45:41] excuse me, almost

[06:45:42] halfway to that incentive.

[06:45:45] And Blahaj meanwhile has retaken first place by over $200.

[06:45:51] Fans of my cat you had your time in the sun do you want to take it back? You still your time in the sun. Do you want to take it back?

[06:45:55] You've still got time.

[06:45:58] We have $35.90 from Archduke of the High Bears!

[06:46:02] 359 for my favorite friendship-shaped Pokemon, Absol.

[06:46:07] It's not GDQ without Pokemon so this donation goes towards the fight with Cynthia Incentive.

[06:46:11] Let's get more Pokemon!

[06:46:14] Alright Bryson man let's go.

[06:46:16] Kind of a strange film I don't get the block here is there gonna be a sequel or something?

[06:46:20] That was like a YouTube trailer will be yeah

[06:46:24] We got slow credits. Unlucky.

[06:46:27] Yeah, there's three different kind of credits that you can get.

[06:46:28] You can get the text scrolling on the right.

[06:46:30] You can get the text scrolling on the left or

[06:46:31] you can get like the whole background to be grayed out with the text.

[06:46:36] It's faster if you get the one that's grayed out, so it's like a

[06:46:38] 1 in 3 to happen.

[06:46:39] We should explain why are we doing all this before we can leave the town? Why is

[06:46:44] it required?

[06:46:45] Oh, the lore! Where do I begin? So there's a sailor.

[06:46:51] Yeah.

[06:46:52] How does that song go?

[06:46:56] No so Roxy's dad is kind of going through like a midlife crisis

[06:47:01] and wants to become a movie star.

[06:47:04] So we kind of get shoehorned into his attempts at becoming

[06:47:08] a famous movie star.

[06:47:09] And that was kind of his attempt,

[06:47:11] and it kinda flopped actually.

[06:47:15] I thought that was a great movie!

[06:47:19] You're right, I'm sorry. It took some really creative directions, like speedrunning the movie.

[06:47:23] I think that was less than a minute long movie.

[06:47:25] Yeah.

[06:47:26] There'll be a cult classic later anyways.

[06:47:28] Yeah.

[06:47:29] So the guy that's next to us, he's like a talent scout.

[06:47:31] His name is Stu Dio.

[06:47:33] That guy is Stu Dio right in front of us.

[06:47:35] I feel like your donation puns.

[06:47:36] There you go.

[06:47:38] Yeah there's also like Sergio Pokemonski or something.

[06:47:46] They got some really creative names in the credits to kind of fill the spot. Anyway, so this guy to our bottom left here is a talent scout that watched us beat Roxy and was really impressed.

[06:47:53] So he drug us here to see what PokéStar Studios is all about,

[06:47:58] and then now we kind of have to shoot our own movie.

[06:48:00] So I'm kind of nervous.

[06:48:02] I haven't been on like a film set before,

[06:48:06] So I'm really hoping that I don't screw this movie up.

[06:48:09] It's all the green screen you're fine.

[06:48:11] You're right but like I'm just a terrible actor.

[06:48:14] All right, let's see if...

[06:48:16] What do you think this is?

[06:48:18] The Riolu.

[06:48:20] My favorite color is blue.

[06:48:21] New Maine?

[06:48:22] Blue and blue.

[06:48:23] There is one.

[06:48:24] Oh wait no!

[06:48:25] Awwwwwww...

[06:48:29] That counts as a death by the way.

[06:48:31] Noooo!

[06:48:36] So you can't actually freeze in that fight

[06:48:38] with Ice Punch and it immediately ends it.

[06:48:40] It is really funny. Yeah, I could hear a different ending

[06:48:42] like what in tarnation? What just happened?

[06:48:44] Isn't there something funny about this though sir uh yeah so if you don't have

[06:48:48] a cell file present this save is only saving movie data so she's never saved before this point um the

[06:48:52] safe doesn't actually save any data so yeah if you turn your game off and on,

[06:48:57] it's just gone. It's awesome.

[06:48:59] At least assuming you're in PB attempts. I'm not going to

[06:49:01] prove it for science here.

[06:49:03] I'm sure this happened to some 8-year-old

[06:49:05] 10 years ago.

[06:49:07] While we're running out of here like eight year old, like 10 years ago. Probably. It'd be very sad

[06:49:08] but while we're running

[06:49:09] out of here

[06:49:09] we're done now

[06:49:10] finally it is over

[06:49:11] and we can do

[06:49:11] some more donations.

[06:49:14] Absolutely

[06:49:14] we just got $200

[06:49:16] from

[06:49:16] tell me if you

[06:49:17] recognize this name.

[06:49:18] Thomas Patrick WS.

[06:49:22] So proud to see on the main stage and your crushing it!

[06:49:25] $200 for all the Ogre Pond cards

[06:49:28] we pulled during the Violet Run.

[06:49:29] And what's that? A special message from Ogre Pond?

[06:49:33] Thank you for saving me, Twitch chat!

[06:49:35] My trainer and I have gone on so many adventures and battles in SGDQ

[06:49:39] Hopefully you can save a legendary

[06:49:40] Pokemon friend too, perhaps

[06:49:42] Churum? Good luck TTS!

[06:49:44] Thank you TPAT, love you.

[06:49:47] We can't actually catch it.

[06:49:50] We can save it. We can't actually catch it. You can save it!

[06:49:52] How can we save it?

[06:49:55] What I've learned from the violent run is that

[06:49:58] Save can mean a lot of things

[06:50:00] Yeah, because there's the thing

[06:50:03] that prevents you from using Pokeballs in that fight

[06:50:05] so sorry about that team pet.

[06:50:07] Banger alert by the way this

[06:50:09] is a new Team Plasma being Got Protect, that's awesome.

[06:50:13] These are new team plasma grunts.

[06:50:15] We're going to fight them a bunch in this game.

[06:50:17] I was going to say it's less probably than Black and White 1 but it's probably not.

[06:50:20] It's probably like the same amount of grunts.

[06:50:21] I think it's way less.

[06:50:23] Is it? Okay. There's one area that I'm thinking

[06:50:24] of. Like the pyramid and stuff?

[06:50:26] Yeah, Dragon Spiral Tower. Oh yeah

[06:50:28] that's possible.

[06:50:29] And they all suck and have like one Pokemon.

[06:50:33] They also love to scream plasma, I don't...

[06:50:36] They're just very patriotic about their evil doings, I guess?

[06:50:39] This game is not as...

[06:50:41] It seems like it's not much different time-wise

[06:50:44] from Black and White 1 but

[06:50:46] the annoying sections are cut down

[06:50:48] it's more spread out balance type stuff

[06:50:50] especially in speedrun.

[06:50:52] I was gonna say that it's funny you say patriotic because it's July 4th. Also, this game is based on America

[06:51:01] That's why they put us on this day

[06:51:05] It's another spinner set up here

[06:51:07] The spinner is not cooperating

[06:51:11] Lynn is her name

[06:51:13] Everybody hates Lynn So there's the dire hit you told me about that I learned like two days ago?

[06:51:17] Yes, yes! There was a Dire Hit right there.

[06:51:18] I didn't know about that one.

[06:51:20] Alright we went to go look for this Team Plasma person and we're gonna fight them as well.

[06:51:24] Just had Patrat. Patrat is one of the common team plasma grunts

[06:51:28] pokemon there's a very annoying evolution of it that we'll fight later oh no this is a purline

[06:51:34] yeah okay whatever this one had like sand attack and a couple other annoying Yeah, this is the per line. Okay, whatever.

[06:51:37] This one has like sand attack and a couple other annoying moves

[06:51:39] but because we're faster in rune plays

[06:51:41] so it's not that bad.

[06:51:45] Y'all, we have passed the 50% mark on that Fight Cynthia incentive.

[06:51:48] That is $20,000 for charity!

[06:51:54] And we're nowhere near halfway through this run. You guys are killing it up there.

[06:51:57] Yeah, TTS was telling me before the run that if we near halfway through this run. You guys are killing it on the nations.

[06:51:59] TTS was telling me before the run that if we get halfway through and we hit the Cynthia incentive,

[06:52:01] he'll do the fight with a Purrloin instead.

[06:52:03] What?

[06:52:04] Definitely donate for that.

[06:52:06] But he did say that.

[06:52:07] He did.

[06:52:08] Yeah, that's right now. I feel like I'm being gaslit on stage. But he did say that. He did, yeah!

[06:52:11] Let me get my photoshop out real quick

[06:52:13] and I'll get the proof out

[06:52:17] Oh that's a double battle by the way. Did we mention

[06:52:20] that? Oh yeah, I dumped Pidove

[06:52:22] and Psyduck in the box after being

[06:52:24] chained because that's otherwise a mandatory double

[06:52:26] and because I only have Tepig in my party

[06:52:28] it is no longer required because they can't fight me with one yeah very standard

[06:52:33] thing like all the pokemon games so most people are probably aware of it but figure you should

[06:52:37] mention in case you were not aware uh but now it's time, we're gonna go to New York City

[06:52:42] in just a moment.

[06:52:43] Yes, so you are running out of time

[06:52:45] for the Jobar nickname incentives

[06:52:47] So if you have been waiting to snipe a name

[06:52:49] You're going to want to start thinking about it like right now yeah

[06:52:53] five minutes we're going to be catching it my cat 200 behind five minutes i think we got a race on

[06:53:00] our hands all right so why are we why are we catching Drillbearer?

[06:53:03] Why is Tepig not good enough?

[06:53:05] So it's not that

[06:53:07] Tepig isn't bad

[06:53:09] but there is a couple reasons

[06:53:11] One of the big ones is entry animations, so Emboar is a very big Pokemon both in terms

[06:53:17] of size and weight, and what that means is when you send them out into battle they basically basically cause like a like a shaking

[06:53:24] like earth effect where a bunch of like clouds

[06:53:26] like spurt up underneath them when they land uh that is actually really slow

[06:53:30] so we would like to use a pokemon that avoids doing that uh and it just so happens that extra does not

[06:53:36] have that problem it is light enough that it doesn't like shake the earth when it comes out

[06:53:40] into battle um so that helps save a lot of time over the course of the run.

[06:53:45] Also, Excalibur Drills gets a very cracked moveset

[06:53:49] It's gonna learn both One Claws and Swords Dance throughout its natural level up

[06:53:54] which makes it just really cracked for taking care of a lot

[06:53:57] of fights because if our attack is not good enough usually a sword stance takes

[06:54:01] care of it especially in the late game. So it's just really good

[06:54:06] bond to use.

[06:54:08] Yeah,

[06:54:08] I think

[06:54:08] most of

[06:54:10] it is

[06:54:10] probably

[06:54:11] just like

[06:54:11] one

[06:54:12] Exudrill

[06:54:13] is just

[06:54:13] much better

[06:54:14] as a

[06:54:14] Pokemon

[06:54:15] and

[06:54:15] it's self-sustainable with

[06:54:17] a better set of moves that we'll see later

[06:54:19] and also the

[06:54:21] matchups for Pignite if you were

[06:54:23] to do the game with Emboar

[06:54:25] you'd run into problems

[06:54:27] with like Skyla, Marlin, Chantal.

[06:54:31] Like these trainers are really hard for a pig night

[06:54:35] where Exit Drill doesn't really have

[06:54:36] two turtle of a time on anybody.

[06:54:40] Honestly, it's just

[06:54:41] such a broken Pokemon. It's so

[06:54:43] good! This game is really hard, but

[06:54:45] Exeggdrill actually makes it look manageable.

[06:54:47] Also, there's a lot of triple and double

[06:54:49] battles that we have to use so

[06:54:51] Excrital gets some really cracked spread moves

[06:54:53] that we can use to take out multiple pokes at once

[06:54:55] without having to rely on our doubles partner

[06:54:57] whoever it is. Yeah but its not used in Black and White 1 because

[06:55:01] well we have access to Iron Head actually

[06:55:03] in this game

[06:55:04] It doesn't actually learn it by level up naturally

[06:55:06] believe it or not

[06:55:08] And yeah it doesn't get any skill type moves like in white one so yeah you also

[06:55:13] get it like way too early to like even try the main drillbert because it's jilber's move set

[06:55:18] early on is just really bad yeah dribbller is bad. You don't get digged for

[06:55:21] like ever, you still like metal claw.

[06:55:24] Yeah, you'll notice

[06:55:25] earlier I went into a building

[06:55:27] right after getting the bike to pick up the EXP share

[06:55:29] it's really clutch that it's actually that easy to

[06:55:31] pick up the xp shared in this game because

[06:55:33] drillber on its own is not good enough to take care of the next gym leader

[06:55:37] who's berg so even though we're going to get drover before burg um it's mainly

[06:55:40] so that we can give it the EXP share to

[06:55:42] help it out, get as much experience

[06:55:44] as possible, to get to Exeggurill as fast as possible

[06:55:47] while Pignite is still

[06:55:48] the best thing to use, especially

[06:55:50] versus Burg.

[06:55:56] And then the Cacelia Sewers here to use especially versus bird it's in the stellia sewers here uh we're gonna be joined by our buddy hugh just to do one single double battle here uh you're going to get there's like other things

[06:56:01] you can get you can't do that in this series if you didn't get your pd of earlier so there's like other things you can get. You can have Zubat in the sewers if you didn't

[06:56:03] get your Pidove earlier, so there is a backup if you missed it for whatever reason.

[06:56:07] But we're actually going to do this fight now. It's usually faster to die right?

[06:56:11] Yeah, it's faster to die because if you die here, you don't get EXP

[06:56:14] and then by the time you're done

[06:56:16] using Pignite, it doesn't level

[06:56:19] up and try to learn

[06:56:20] Rollout. So that's actually a pretty decent chunk of

[06:56:23] time. Yeah. It's kind of investing a little bit of time loss

[06:56:25] to die in this fight

[06:56:26] and watch Skraggy get Moxie

[06:56:28] because Skraggy would be

[06:56:29] the one that kills us

[06:56:30] in order to not learn

[06:56:31] rollout at the end of birds.

[06:56:32] Dying is not so

[06:56:33] incoherential

[06:56:34] because you get

[06:56:34] a free kill after this fight.

[06:56:35] Yeah, and it's a true double so you don't wipe it off.

[06:56:38] And he gets to die.

[06:56:40] Okay that's chill. Totally fine.

[06:56:42] Honestly you don't die that often in this fight.

[06:56:44] Did I crit that?

[06:56:46] That's the best fight. Yeah, that IS the this fight. Did I crit that? Yeah, you crit it so... Okay.

[06:56:47] That's the best fight.

[06:56:48] Yeah, that is the best fight.

[06:56:49] What were you saying?

[06:56:50] I was gonna say shoutouts to PitEv on that fight.

[06:56:53] Alright TTS!

[06:56:55] Uh yeah, uh I've seen some really wonky fights there where Q's duet hits self-confusion like half a dozen times.

[06:57:02] Oh yeah!

[06:57:03] And I'd say that Q has backups including a bit of...

[06:57:06] If you want to see the clip you can go to tts's channel

[06:57:16] uh yeah gen 5 jerry it's a lot of funny clips so definitely check it out.

[06:57:20] It was really funny.

[06:57:22] So TTS is going to set up the RNG unit for the Jailbird.

[06:57:24] We can do like one donation really quickly?

[06:57:26] Yes.

[06:57:27] You've got it!

[06:57:28] We got $200 from Austin!

[06:57:30] $200 for my cat because a close race is a fun race.

[06:57:34] And now it's a very close race.

[06:57:37] And you can do one more.

[06:57:39] We also have $33 from SyJay, so great to see White2 on the GDQ stage!

[06:57:45] The Gen 5 games bring back so many good memories for me.

[06:57:48] $33 for number 330 Flygon, good luck on the run tts let's hit

[06:57:52] this india battle thank you side jay um see we're gonna need to drill her name in like 45 seconds

[06:57:57] or a minute something like that last call last you got hurry right now get that donation in asap

[06:58:04] uh do you want to explain what we're about to see here yeah so basically

[06:58:08] um we're gonna try to spawn on the drill bit is not a normal encounter it's actually

[06:58:12] a dust cloud encounter which is a type of phenomenon i'm going to owe five dollars

[06:58:20] man we should have thought about that more take the category i should have thought about that more.

[06:58:23] I should have thought about that a little more.

[06:58:25] Maybe. I don't know. But yeah, basically

[06:58:27] it's stemming from Manip

[06:58:29] and

[06:58:29] Dusk Clouds are kind of spawned in based on your step count since loading in

[06:58:36] And so sort of stats to drill group. They're kind of manipulated on the frame that

[06:58:42] you encounter.

[06:58:46] So what's going on right now is we're weakening the drillbert with a flame charge,

[06:58:48] it makes the catch rate go from like 33% to 50%,

[06:58:52] and he actually got a fairy swipes dodge so if you can catch it nice all right

[06:58:58] yeah and he goes to heal us after this tip really nice

[06:59:03] do i count do i count the dust cloud phenomenon and encounter separately?

[06:59:08] Probably make it easy. So what's that nickname for us?

[06:59:11] With a last second snipe, it is my cat.

[06:59:16] Okay so what's your cats name?

[06:59:19] Well its seashell but that's not what they donated for unfortunately.

[06:59:23] I think its all lowercase MySpace space cat. That is exactly right.

[06:59:27] M, Y...

[06:59:29] M-Y space C-A

[06:59:33] T... Exclamation point.

[06:59:35] Just like that? Yeah, just like that.

[06:59:36] All right.

[06:59:37] Awesome.

[06:59:38] Thank you all so much for donating to us.

[06:59:39] Especially my cat!

[06:59:41] Our favorite feline friend drill bird.

[06:59:46] Do you want to tell us about the drillber?

[06:59:48] Yeah, so this drillber is meant

[06:59:50] to be perfect in just about every way

[06:59:52] possible. So it's level 19 which

[06:59:54] is the highest level that we can get in that area

[06:59:56] It's also specifically to be a female because there are a couple of attract

[07:00:00] users that we're gonna have to deal with, um there's basically two-there are two female attract users and

[07:00:06] one male attract user that we have to put up with um and because the male

[07:00:09] one happens first and the other two female ones are a lot worse to deal with. We specifically

[07:00:15] made it for female, it also has the ability sand, which boosts its ground type moves in a sandstorm.

[07:00:23] But it's only specific for like... or it's only relevant to one very specific fight and

[07:00:27] it's not like a revolutionary reason why we have it.

[07:00:31] It also has an Adamant nature, which is plus attack

[07:00:34] minus special attack because we don't really use

[07:00:37] any special attacks at all. We're going to be basically

[07:00:39] all physical. And it's also got perfect IVs

[07:00:43] and everything except special attack because

[07:00:44] we don't use special attack at all as I just said so yeah entering a

[07:00:48] Berg gym now. Berg is the bug type guy type guy and as per usual this gym sucks uh actually the gym trainers

[07:00:55] are like pretty chill in this gym the problem is really bird also kills a lot of runs yeah

[07:01:00] this is another one we're kind of getting into like the mid game here in the mid game is probably the most we set heavy part of it mainly because first off you just had a driller catch which was pretty hard as we mentioned earlier it's like a 50% chance to catch at about half health,

[07:01:12] like I had there.

[07:01:14] Another problem is that Berg has quite a bit of a team shakeup actually.

[07:01:20] So normally gym leaders get just a simple addition to their team in challenge mode, but Berg actually gets another member of his team swapped.

[07:01:29] So normal mode he usually has a Swad, Loon, Dwebble and Livanni. But this time in challenge mode he actually gets a

[07:01:36] Carablast and ditches Swadloon for Shelmet so he's gonna have team four

[07:01:41] He's going to actually lead Dwe, which is like worst case for us because

[07:01:46] Dwebble has the move Rock Blast, which is a multi-hit move.

[07:01:50] So basically that means it can hit randomly from two to five times.

[07:01:53] Each hit has a chance to crit me.

[07:01:55] You can already see

[07:01:56] where this is going

[07:01:57] and each one does

[07:01:59] 10 damage

[07:02:00] with a 1 in 16

[07:02:01] chance to do 12

[07:02:02] so you basically

[07:02:03] pretty easily divide

[07:02:04] my health by 10

[07:02:05] to kind of see how many hits I can take before

[07:02:07] um, I die to rock blasts. It is very common

[07:02:11] to get 2 and 3 they're both split at 37.5% each for

[07:02:15] 75% to do either two or three hits.

[07:02:17] It's most common for a 3 and 4, isn't it?

[07:02:19] No, 3 and 4 are both 12 1⁄2 of the last 25%.

[07:02:23] So you'll most commonly see 2 and 3

[07:02:25] and 3 and 4 are the more...

[07:02:26] Or sorry, you'll see most commonly 2 and 3 and three and four are the more or sorry you'll see most commonly

[07:02:28] two and three and then four and five of them are rare ones.

[07:02:32] Yeah so basically uh Pignite has 75 HP

[07:02:37] and uh you can take seven hits so we're kind of relying on those lower rolls uh for our

[07:02:45] blast yeah for safety i am gonna equip my last ornberry that I have because it'll give me 85.

[07:02:50] So that just makes it very consistent to get past Brayden.

[07:02:53] And we will save again.

[07:02:55] Yes! Because if we die here, we do wipe all the way back to Aspersia and that's a long haulback

[07:02:58] and we don't want to

[07:02:59] do that yeah the double also sturdy too right yes the double is 30 so what we're going to

[07:03:06] do is we're gonna work up and then use flame charge and then use two embers to finish it off.

[07:03:10] Yes.

[07:03:11] Flame charge gives us that speed bump at least.

[07:03:12] Yeah.

[07:03:13] Yeah. If we get to Blaze on the turn that we use our first Ember,

[07:03:17] we can basically one-shot it with Blaze.

[07:03:21] The thing is that Dwebble has the move Rock Polish and

[07:03:23] AI likes to use

[07:03:25] speed raising or lowering moves

[07:03:27] to try

[07:03:29] to get the edge on you so we basically get a free turn of setup

[07:03:32] because it's going to use Rock Polish Turn 1

[07:03:34] and then that'll give us our ability

[07:03:37] to use Work Up

[07:03:40] because we need that

[07:03:44] to boost our attack attack a little bit more. We're also going to make sure that we use two Flame Charges before Livanni comes out.

[07:03:48] Livanni comes up third, and we want to be faster than it

[07:03:51] because its got some really punishing moves

[07:03:53] including Grass Whistle which can put us to sleep

[07:03:55] and we don't really have any healing items

[07:03:57] to cure being asleep

[07:03:59] so if you get put to sleep

[07:04:01] in a case like that, it's just

[07:04:02] not good.

[07:04:04] But we basically just skip all of that by going to plus 2 speed before Leagani comes out.

[07:04:10] Even with the double lead and stuff,

[07:04:12] you might think maybe you should have used Drillburn instead.

[07:04:15] No, Drillbur gets absolutely destroyed in this fight.

[07:04:17] It's really bad.

[07:04:18] Drillbur has no shot in this gym even if it is as cracked as it is.

[07:04:21] Yeah. Its time will come soon.

[07:04:23] Yes.

[07:04:25] So there's the rock polish. Here we go.

[07:04:27] Not too bad.

[07:04:29] I still have my berrys

[07:04:31] So i'm pretty much going to only die

[07:04:33] To a 5 hit and crit.

[07:04:36] Oh, that's fine.

[07:04:37] This is kind of awkward so I'm just going to

[07:04:38] super this.

[07:04:39] You wanted

[07:04:39] Gendar Blaze there

[07:04:40] but...

[07:04:42] Yeah, also

[07:04:42] just being at 31

[07:04:43] is a little awkward

[07:04:44] because I'm like

[07:04:45] 75% to win which Okay, I would've

[07:04:47] died there if I didn't heal so...

[07:04:50] And now we

[07:04:51] play the waiting game. Yeah, it's really kind of awkward

[07:04:53] with the rolls here. The thing is

[07:04:55] if he attacked without Blaze right now then it would put Double under 25% and then Bird would just heal.

[07:05:01] That's another one for the death counter!

[07:05:03] That was a 12-and-a half to live there so that was very unlucky.

[07:05:08] Those are just the games you have to play against berg it is uh very annoying very awesome and it's not even the

[07:05:12] worst gym leader no can i stop in the blow with a quick donation?

[07:05:19] Of course.

[07:05:20] We've got $15 from Stu Dio.

[07:05:24] Stu Dio here, and wow!

[07:05:26] I'm seeing a lot of good talent out there.

[07:05:28] Looking for some new stars to help me bring the time

[07:05:29] on my next movie down to 16.xx

[07:05:31] seconds.

[07:05:34] You can keep going, this

[07:05:37] is gonna be the same thing that we just saw.

[07:05:39] Great! We've got $28 from LavableMan, 28 for TheBestLittleGuySandslash.

[07:05:45] Shoutouts to Swiftaloo and Ecchi. Two of the best Shrek 2 players

[07:05:51] I've ever seen.

[07:05:53] Just don't let ecchi do the Hero Time.

[07:05:55] No, that's Sparkle!

[07:05:57] That is Sparkle!

[07:05:59] Anyways... So more shenanigans here.

[07:06:01] We are in Blaze but we gotta kill this because we hold out.

[07:06:03] This isn't a much better

[07:06:05] situation than the last one. Yeah, Rock Polish does

[07:06:07] boost the speed by two stages here so it's

[07:06:09] just gonna not speed us every time here uh not what you can do

[07:06:12] about it it's not worth boosting more so okay dodge is cool all right the dodge is nice

[07:06:20] and a two hit that That's gonna be heal.

[07:06:23] Yeah, that's too much.

[07:06:25] How does the heal range? It's 25% or lower.

[07:06:27] I think Blaze will kill from here.

[07:06:31] Let's go! The boss monster has been defeated and the rest of the fight is easy yeah

[07:06:37] yeah the shell that's actually cool because it just dies also dies

[07:06:41] and they have the levani as long as you didn't lose all your buffs for some reason

[07:06:44] You will just one shot it. It's not a big deal

[07:06:48] Yeah level up even keep in blaze so totally fine

[07:06:51] Alright go ahead with a couple more donations

[07:07:05] I would love to Alright, go ahead with a couple more donations. more optional for the memes and prolonging Pokemon stage time by fighting Cynthia. And we are over $23,000 on our way to that

[07:07:09] 40k goal! Let's keep it rolling...

[07:07:13] We've got $44.20 from Aceret and Slayer who say,

[07:07:18] It's been over a decade since the COD zombie days!

[07:07:21] It's amazing that we have all finally been able to meet in person

[07:07:24] but be careful as Ace might ambush you with his harmonica

[07:07:28] here's 2210 from each of us and on your five x world records good luck with the run

[07:07:32] we hope have us reunited for future gdqs

[07:07:35] of course of course thank you guys Yeah, so you're a Pokemon

[07:07:37] speedrunner right now but that wasn't

[07:07:39] your origin story, right? Yes, it

[07:07:41] wasn't. I played Call of Duty Zombies

[07:07:43] High Rounds for a very long time.

[07:07:46] How many world records did you get in that?

[07:07:48] One, in 2019.

[07:07:52] I held the highest round on the Zombies map 5

[07:07:54] and Blockups 1 for about nine-ish

[07:07:56] months in 2018 or 2019-ishh somewhere in there the timeline gets fuzzy and

[07:08:00] how did those skills prepare you for your pokemon speed running journey uh patience

[07:08:07] that is a very important that is actually the most important skill in Pokemon speedrunning.

[07:08:11] So that makes a lot of sense but now we're leaving Castelia City this strange blonde man

[07:08:17] Is approaching us his name is Question Mark question mark question just wants to look at

[07:08:20] her pokemon it's kind of weird he's kind of mumbling some weird stuff you see easily a

[07:08:26] little bit weirdo his name's colores a yapper. We're gonna fight him

[07:08:31] in two seconds, so teach him a lesson.

[07:08:33] Wait, it's been two seconds and we haven't fought him.

[07:08:35] I'm sorry.

[07:08:36] Speed around the math. The time doesn't work out.

[07:08:39] One minute is like two seconds to a guy like me, so...

[07:08:41] Oh, seriously?

[07:08:43] You can get candies from this clown here if you talk to all of the clowns

[07:08:47] which we actually do in Any% but we don't do it here because

[07:08:49] we got these sports anyway and it's also really slow to

[07:08:53] get it and like obviously like extra level cool extra experience cool uh but the level doesn't

[07:08:59] like make any real big difference for us.

[07:09:02] We're still gonna hit specific level thresholds and move

[07:09:05] thresholds, and evolution thresholds at the right times anyway so

[07:09:08] it doesn't really matter. I worked on a safe

[07:09:11] route of challenge mode to make next gym leader not awful and it literally

[07:09:14] involves like four minutes of time loss because you have so many extra fights just to get like

[07:09:19] rock slide for the next gym battle which is awful so yeah. This is like the most...

[07:09:24] You kind of just have to take

[07:09:26] a big risk on this run

[07:09:28] which makes it cool but also

[07:09:30] awful. Yeah so

[07:09:32] this is the only fight where we take care of Sandforce like I said.

[07:09:36] We're just going to be using Mudslap which is a special attack move but it's just because

[07:09:39] it's the best for Magnemite.

[07:09:41] There's no point in using Dig here cause it does have Sturdy and Khorus will have

[07:09:44] a super potion to

[07:09:45] like heal it so it's just best for us to like double mud slap and with um the just a little bit

[07:09:51] of special attack ivs that we have um and the uh boost from san force this uh just kind of guaranteed two shots so

[07:10:01] you notice a couple more donations fantastic we have 272 dollars Fantastic. We have $272 from DS and Jaycopter who says,

[07:10:11] Here's $260 plus $12 for my wife's and my favorite Pokemon Swampert and Butterfree. Let's get to 1 million

[07:10:17] today!

[07:10:20] I know that seems... Yeah,

[07:10:21] that's right! We can get there.

[07:10:23] We are creeping up on that

[07:10:25] 750k, and today is stacked so I believe in us.

[07:10:31] Yeah TTS was also saying if we get a million during this run he will fight Cynthia with only mudslaps.

[07:10:38] I also heard that yeah with two hands

[07:10:40] tied behind my back yep

[07:10:43] yep so in that fight uh you might have

[07:10:45] noticed that we hit level 22 and we

[07:10:47] learned home claws home clause is a setup move and it boosts that we hit level 22 and we learned Home Claws.

[07:10:48] Home Claw is a setup move,

[07:10:49] and it boosts attack and accuracy by one stage.

[07:10:53] So both of those are useful

[07:10:55] and we love to not rely on X items

[07:10:57] that don't exist.

[07:10:58] Banger alert. So this is joint avenue uh it's not relevant

[07:11:02] and speeder we have to go through it i like it i'd like so like i never played gen 5 as a kid

[07:11:08] so i missed something like all the multiplayer feature stuff.

[07:11:10] What is actually Join Avenue?

[07:11:12] So Join Avenue... it's kind of like a cooperative thing.

[07:11:15] Yeah yeah yeah.

[07:11:16] It's semi-cooperative but there are also a bunch of NPCs.

[07:11:19] Can we play it now if I had a ds you could do some stuff with

[07:11:22] the online only yeah you can you can like work on it as solo apparently you can get like master balls

[07:11:28] or something you can't it's from the lottery um it's basically the equivalent of like

[07:11:32] festival plaza from gen 7 if people remember that one yeah they're basically like cotton paste it

[07:11:38] into gen7 interesting it just has a better song too, so that's cool.

[07:11:42] Yeah. You can also change the floor.

[07:11:44] Really? To what?

[07:11:45] Yeah. So it's different patterns. I guess it's the ceiling actually but it's reflective

[07:11:48] But it's really cool like mine has purple stars I think

[07:11:55] And it's time we're in the embossed oh man we're in the gym for anyone who

[07:11:58] knows they're gonna get really excited about

[07:12:01] what's about to come up but But for those who don't,

[07:12:04] it's just roller coasters. That's it.

[07:12:06] There's no other pain. There's no misery.

[07:12:08] I'm not going to be crying for the next 10 minutes.

[07:12:10] I'm not going to press Y.

[07:12:14] So yeah, this is... i'm not gonna press why

[07:12:19] um so yeah this is the nimbasa gym we're going to fight some trainers do some stuff maybe read some donations read some

[07:12:22] donations while you're doing this. I'd love to!

[07:12:25] We've got $35.80 from Doodlebee, who says can you get Pokédex shoutouts for favorite

[07:12:30] underrated Pokémon?

[07:12:31] I have a huge soft spot for Chimicho especially after the side quest in RCS Legends

[07:12:35] where you help rehome one.

[07:12:37] What Mons do The Couch and The Runner think deserve more love?

[07:12:44] Excadrill gets enough love.

[07:12:46] I gotta think about this one.

[07:12:48] Like an under-raid Pokémon?

[07:12:50] This guy, Garbodor!

[07:12:51] I love Garbodor.

[07:12:52] Honestly unironically cool guy.

[07:12:54] The GMAX form of it is super cute uh actually trubbish is probably better though but like

[07:12:59] people like troubles fuel i hate trouble as much but garbodor definitely deserves some more esper

[07:13:04] espr i love espur It is a very...

[07:13:07] I love Esper space, it's so funny.

[07:13:09] Yes.

[07:13:10] Do you want to explain what you just did by the way, CTS with the funny movement?

[07:13:12] Yeah, there was little bit of shenanigans that we can do

[07:13:15] with these coasters

[07:13:17] to make the cycles a little better.

[07:13:19] Don't ask me exactly how it works,

[07:13:21] we just kind of messed around

[07:13:23] a little bit with hitting the buttons at certain times

[07:13:25] and it just kinda works.

[07:13:27] We used to actually flash the menu before that coaster

[07:13:28] that one guy just came out of in order

[07:13:30] to kind of help reset the cycles a little bit.

[07:13:32] But Minnow actually found a newer setup

[07:13:35] that saves a little bit of time,

[07:13:36] because we don't have to flash the menu anymore.

[07:13:38] Cool. So, Swift uh Swift what is Static? Oh yeah I love static! So

[07:13:46] Static is an ability on some of the electric-type Pokemon

[07:13:49] We're going gonna be fighting.

[07:13:50] It's a 30% chance to paralyze you!

[07:13:53] Now, normally Drill Bird cannot be paralyzed by stuff like Thunder Wave

[07:13:57] because it is a ground type and immune to electric types

[07:14:00] but that doesn't mean

[07:14:01] its immune to being paralyzed.

[07:14:03] And paralysis just sucks!

[07:14:05] You are 25% to not be able to act during your turn, and your speed is significantly lowered

[07:14:10] I don't remember by how much in

[07:14:11] this quarter it's quartered okay that's so bad

[07:14:15] it is really bad um i always thought it was half until uh

[07:14:18] then i learned that there was a change that it was like changed to happen i'm

[07:14:21] like oh i guess it wasn't always

[07:14:23] half. The issue

[07:14:24] is compounded with paralysis because

[07:14:27] our primary move is going to be dig

[07:14:29] because it's super effective and that's a two-hit

[07:14:31] move so we basically have to go through

[07:14:33] two paralysis checks to make sure that we can actually land the attack yeah so

[07:14:36] as soon as they get paralyzed i'm basically going to heal it immediately

[07:14:38] because it's just not never you're gonna heal immediately and then

[07:14:41] immediately trigger static again.

[07:14:43] Yep, yep.

[07:14:44] That's everything...basically everything you're going to come in contact with

[07:14:46] in this gym is going to have static.

[07:14:48] Like every trainer has like a static thing pretty much.

[07:14:50] Yeah, with the exception of Blitzel and Zubstrike

[07:14:52] everything else has static.

[07:14:54] Yeah so that'll be like Flappy, Elekid, Emolga...

[07:14:57] That all have static.

[07:14:58] It's awesome!

[07:14:59] And for reference you can just not get paralyzed by it

[07:15:02] but you have to use a move that doesn't make contact

[07:15:04] and all of Drover move that doesn't make contact, and all of Drillbur's moves currently

[07:15:05] ALL MAKE CONTACT! Maybe that's why

[07:15:07] he went 4 minutes out of your way for Rock Slide.

[07:15:09] Yeah yeah yeah, Rock Slide does not make contact

[07:15:11] and also obliterates Emolga

[07:15:13] which is awesome. However getting to level 29 is really

[07:15:16] hard. Something we haven't mentioned in this game too is

[07:15:18] this is the gen where they changed the EXP scaling

[07:15:20] stuff. So it's

[07:15:22] much harder to just grind your way to

[07:15:24] a level because you don't get the same amount of experience no

[07:15:26] matter what.

[07:15:27] It changes based on your current level so if you're lower-level you'll get more

[07:15:30] experience from stuff and higher levels will get less because it's kind of balanced

[07:15:35] out in a way I think mostly to help you catch up

[07:15:38] if you're low-level Pokemon or something.

[07:15:40] But that just makes it really hard

[07:15:41] to do things that you could do

[07:15:42] with other Pokemon's figurines, so...

[07:15:44] That was the fake gym.

[07:15:45] We're now in the real gym

[07:15:46] and this is where things get real.

[07:15:48] Yeah, so there's going to be one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

[07:15:54] eight static chances throughout the remainder of this gym. so feel free to place your bets in chat at 30

[07:16:00] the average is i think around two-ish maybe slightly higher than two yeah that thing is

[07:16:05] between two and three yeah so place your bets in the chat right now or donations.

[07:16:09] Spam numbers in chat actually.

[07:16:11] Or you could just be cool

[07:16:12] and get no static like yesterday in practice.

[07:16:14] That was interesting.

[07:16:15] This is a split that's such a big, like, variance split in the run.

[07:16:21] You can save so much time here or you just, like, barely win the fights

[07:16:25] but still your run's dead because you just lost so much time to the statics.

[07:16:28] Like it is such a wide range of events that can

[07:16:31] happen in this and already get into static.

[07:16:35] Can we get a WU?

[07:16:39] I'll donate $10 for every static. That will make it better.

[07:16:41] Oh my goodness!

[07:16:43] So yeah, immediately let the heal hit and this thing can also

[07:16:45] Static us but fortunately isn't really a threat

[07:16:47] We actually can slash it too

[07:16:49] The next one we slashed yeah so

[07:16:51] the ella kids actually don't have a attacking move that's not um electric

[07:16:56] so they actually can only sit there and spam light screen which is really nice

[07:16:59] so we can never have to take damage from them

[07:17:01] yeah that's why it swapped out.

[07:17:03] It can sometimes swap out if it just has nothing

[07:17:05] to do with... Yeah, the AI is smart enough

[07:17:06] to realize I can't do anything with this, so I'm gonna

[07:17:08] pivot to something else. Yeah, oddly enough

[07:17:10] that's one of the only good AI quirks for some of these worse trainers in terms of the AI ranking.

[07:17:19] That Flaaffy was also at 11 and 16 so that was nice to get that range yeah we can do a couple of

[07:17:26] donations while we're getting statics here sure thing we've got 74.30 from orabot

[07:17:33] here's to rubambbee, the cutest Pokemon

[07:17:35] ever and also to Unlocking the Cynthia

[07:17:37] fights.

[07:17:41] We've got

[07:17:42] $250

[07:17:43] from Anonymous. No comment. Thank you so much. We've got $250 from anonymous.

[07:17:44] No comment, thank you so much!

[07:17:47] $10 from Jesse Aylin.

[07:17:50] Cynthia's theme is the biggest bop. Let's go!

[07:17:54] So we haven't talked about it yet, but

[07:17:56] probably because it is coming up really quick

[07:17:58] so Alisa is by far

[07:18:00] the worst gym leader in Challenge Mode

[07:18:02] She is going to lead her

[07:18:04] Emolga and in challenge mode her Emolga gets a slightly altered moveset

[07:18:08] In Normal mode it usually just clicks Pursuit

[07:18:11] And Quick Attack against you because

[07:18:12] It can't use its signature move Volt Switch at all

[07:18:15] In challenge mode it gets Aerial Ace

[07:18:19] Which deals a buttload of damage to us.

[07:18:21] So this is where our X-Defend is going to come into play

[07:18:21] because we need to bulk ourselves up

[07:18:24] to be able to tank Aerial Ace

[07:18:26] a little bit better

[07:18:27] because otherwise it

[07:18:28] does like over half of

[07:18:29] each one and it's just

[07:18:29] not a good time.

[07:18:31] On top of that, after

[07:18:33] we take care of Emolga

[07:18:35] Joltik is Elisa's new Pokemon and Joltik is Alisa's new Pokemon.

[07:18:39] And Joltik is really,

[07:18:41] really bad because it has

[07:18:42] Energy Ball which does like 75% of our

[07:18:44] total HP and we're never going to have the opportunity

[07:18:46] to be full because Emolga is just always faster

[07:18:49] and you can't use our XP here.

[07:18:50] So if I get paralyzed by Emolga on the turn

[07:18:55] that I take it out,

[07:18:56] I am absolutely screwed

[07:18:58] and have to basically die in Revive

[07:19:02] And hope that I can set up in some way to win the fight again

[07:19:07] It's just not a good time

[07:19:14] Woo! again it's just not a good time with all the statics i've gotten already surely it's not going to happen on elisa yeah sure we're at three so far

[07:19:19] so we're already ready over so we're already slightly up.

[07:19:21] I got you.

[07:19:22] You learned Slash

[07:19:23] there, right?

[07:19:24] Yes.

[07:19:25] We learned Slash

[07:19:25] to slash that Elekid.

[07:19:26] In normal mode

[07:19:27] we'd dig it,

[07:19:28] but...

[07:19:28] We need the PP

[07:19:29] for...

[07:19:30] Yeah,

[07:19:30] we need the PP

[07:19:30] for Joltik since the extra poke here.

[07:19:38] So because I got an unfortunate static,

[07:19:41] I'm a little lower health than I'd normally be.

[07:19:43] So I'm going to

[07:19:45] super potion up here

[07:19:47] and I'm going to hero heal

[07:19:49] to get rid of that... Yeah there's like so

[07:19:51] little things you can do to make this fight better.

[07:19:53] There is a Cherry Berry we have to go the route west of this town and find an optional trainer

[07:19:58] to get the Cherry Berry.

[07:20:00] There's also one in the east too.

[07:20:02] Oh yeah? Yeah, there's one on the last one for us which one to the east too. Oh yeah?

[07:20:03] Yeah, there is one in like Lhasa and Forest which is to the west

[07:20:05] And then there is one on Route 5 to the East

[07:20:07] Everything is super slow

[07:20:09] Just don't get unlucky right?

[07:20:11] Yeah exactly

[07:20:12] Everything is a significant enough detour where your only option is just get lucky yeah and

[07:20:16] i will say uh tcs only said like half the bad things about this

[07:20:20] there's more that can happen and we'll see yeah mocha's not

[07:20:23] the only bad one yeah but it is this lead here this

[07:20:26] this this gym leader they way they tweaked in travel just like so built to destroy

[07:20:30] you trying to choose a side of like a ground type or something like

[07:20:33] gold takes what the grass move. It's disgusting.

[07:20:35] Yeah.

[07:20:36] Super fast and super dangerous.

[07:20:37] So like mentioned, going to start off with the X defend here

[07:20:39] to get some more favorable rolls.

[07:20:41] Again, crits just go through that so hopefully

[07:20:42] that doesn't happen.

[07:20:43] And then we're gonna start start Hone Clausing.

[07:20:47] Get the attack and accuracy boost. Pass

[07:20:49] the heal now.

[07:20:51] If I had an Ornberry,

[07:20:53] right? Yeah.

[07:20:54] If I had an Ornberry, I could go just above aerial ace because i could bait quick attack

[07:20:58] um on the heel turns and that would be really nice but i kind of just have to wait for the rolls to

[07:21:02] happen in my gear between like 12 and 30 hp you want to heal so that

[07:21:05] a aerial ace will bait out a Quick Attack.

[07:21:08] The AI in this game prefers priority moves,

[07:21:11] So if it sees a kill with a priority move every time

[07:21:14] then it'll use that priority move

[07:21:16] Using Quick Attack is pretty good because

[07:21:19] it's much weaker. Yeah, so if it crits you're like

[07:21:21] oh it's fine I don't die.

[07:21:23] Heal get, Crit attack guaranteed right here.

[07:21:25] We see it right here, gonna heal full

[07:21:27] Hopefully he just 1 doesn't get crit and then two

[07:21:30] doesn't get static done that's it that should be all the home calls right

[07:21:34] here we go

[07:21:38] all right that's only half the battle.

[07:21:40] The worst Pokémon is still coming.

[07:21:44] So now we're able to kill this one without Paralyze and not get Energy Balls.

[07:21:48] No fear whatsoever, just gonna dig it.

[07:21:54] Okay... crit? Dude! Epic crit.

[07:21:58] Flurry coming out now.

[07:22:00] That's basically the only issue with this thing is

[07:22:01] you can cause static on the next Pokemon if

[07:22:02] you really don't want.

[07:22:04] If you had gotten stacked by Emolga then

[07:22:06] you would have to set it up on Fluffy which has

[07:22:08] Takedown and it would do like 35

[07:22:10] which is half your HP all right here's

[07:22:12] that strike of a nightmare Pokemon this thing is strong yeah it's faster than

[07:22:16] you in the stomp so it can flinch you 30% yes there's a clip of me where I take

[07:22:21] like 15 turns on those fight and then I die at the end to a crit

[07:22:24] because it just keeps flinching me every turn, and I have to keep healing.

[07:22:27] One turn! One turn to go through.

[07:22:33] You have to heal here, this is a nightmare scenario.

[07:22:38] At least we get to listen to the good Jim theme.

[07:22:42] Alright. I love flinching through 30 by the way

[07:22:49] yeah this is a thirty percent this game is affectionately referred to as

[07:22:53] the french game because there's so many opportunities where either you're trying to get a flinch or someone is trying to flinch you.

[07:22:58] So it's just a war of attrition in that regard, but we are four badges down! We're halfway there.

[07:23:03] Alright, we're almost done with the awful stuff.

[07:23:05] There's still...

[07:23:05] The next fight's like fine

[07:23:08] and then after that

[07:23:08] there's one really bad fight

[07:23:10] I hate that fight so much.

[07:23:11] I think this whole split is

[07:23:12] This upcoming split is bad.

[07:23:14] It's just a con but I don't like it.

[07:23:16] Yeah, this whole section between the start of fighting Berg and the end

[07:23:20] of Clay's gym is just densely packed with crap.

[07:23:24] There are two really bad fights, and then it's mostly just weight with just crap. It's just like,

[07:23:27] there's two really bad fights and then it's mostly

[07:23:28] just waste to lose time

[07:23:29] beyond that.

[07:23:31] Yeah, once you're past Clay

[07:23:32] it's a lot smoother sailing

[07:23:34] but there's just

[07:23:34] a couple of very

[07:23:35] fights here or there

[07:23:36] that are not likely to go

[07:23:38] terribly bad but they can so you still kind of have to be aware though is the watchdog

[07:23:42] the first fight here yeah it's the second oh yeah yeah there's a pushover trainer.

[07:23:47] Alright so we can do a victory donation here.

[07:23:50] Sure thing in honor of that electric gym we've got some love for

[07:23:53] Electric type Pokemon $59.50 from

[07:23:56] Kieran donating to the littlest of little guys joltik yeah

[07:24:01] i've also got 26 dollars from yonki have we started the pokemon number tradition yet

[07:24:06] either way here's 26 for my best buddy Raichu.

[07:24:08] Love you all and here's to doing games done quick

[07:24:10] for Doctors Without Borders!

[07:24:13] Alright so this rubbish is a joke

[07:24:15] where I'll just use dig and one shot it

[07:24:17] but the one that comes out on the next plasma fight is actually really bad

[07:24:21] the watch hog and hold with me here has an absurd move set

[07:24:25] it's so funny so it has super fang which cuts your current HP in half.

[07:24:30] Uh... it has Hypnosis,

[07:24:32] which is 60% chance to put you to sleep.

[07:24:34] And its third move is Confuse Ray

[07:24:36] which is guaranteed to confuse you

[07:24:38] and then if you're confused

[07:24:39] it's 50-50 to give yourself a confusion. So there is just a smorgasbord of ways

[07:24:41] that you can get absolutely owned by

[07:24:43] that thing. The most,

[07:24:45] the worst scenario is hitting yourself with

[07:24:47] confusion and dying because

[07:24:49] then you have to stand up like Pitidove or Psyduck and

[07:24:52] Dribble absolutely needs the experience. So if we, like,

[07:24:56] have to do that, like, well revive thing, we kind of have

[07:24:58] to wait for like Pidove to die or something. And the problem

[07:25:01] with that is because Super Fang only cuts your

[07:25:03] current HP in half, the only way for it to faint is for it to hit itself

[07:25:10] confusion and then then half the time

[07:25:13] it could just be asleep.

[07:25:14] So you're just sitting there

[07:25:15] waiting for it to wake up

[07:25:16] to hit itself to die

[07:25:17] unless you're 1 HP

[07:25:18] than Super Fang.

[07:25:19] Yeah.

[07:25:19] So we're going to dig it

[07:25:20] in the ideal fight

[07:25:21] is just against Super Fang

[07:25:22] or Hypnosis Miss.

[07:25:26] Whoever came up with this at Game Freak,

[07:25:28] kudos, it's hilarious.

[07:25:30] I mean, it IS funny because

[07:25:32] the Watchdog can't actually kill you on its own.

[07:25:35] Yeah, it's so silly but that was okay enough, totally fine.

[07:25:38] Unless you're at 1 and super fangits...

[07:25:41] That's the only way it can kill you.

[07:25:44] So if that was more than acceptable for

[07:25:45] a watch on the plate. The green is always

[07:25:47] super fang as you come out of dig, but

[07:25:49] if you're on cult pace, you can always

[07:25:51] rock slide it and go for the flinch

[07:25:53] and then use dig to finish it off.

[07:25:55] Because you get the 30%.

[07:25:56] But you also introduce

[07:25:57] the risk of missing

[07:25:58] because rock slide is 90% accurate

[07:26:00] And unfortunately

[07:26:02] Rock Slide is a move we're going

[07:26:03] carry through the rest of the game

[07:26:04] cause its just really good

[07:26:05] especially in

[07:26:06] uh double situations but the problem with that is it's only 90 accurate and every time

[07:26:10] we need to use it it's usually really bad if we miss it all right before

[07:26:15] we can get into the next really scary fight,

[07:26:17] we have a little detour here.

[07:26:19] As long as you use Fly which we're not going to be able

[07:26:21] to use for a bit but...

[07:26:22] Actually, you could use it right away.

[07:26:23] Okay well, we are not going to use it.

[07:26:24] Well, we are not going to use it

[07:26:25] but yeah in Gen 5 you can use HMs

[07:26:26] as soon as you get them.

[07:26:28] Yeah, but we're gonna learn about hidden grottos which is

[07:26:32] not really gonna be relevant for this category.

[07:26:35] Not relevant for this category,

[07:26:36] but for a normal mode that you can manipulate a hidden grotto at the beginning of the game to contain

[07:26:41] a rare candy after Drift Veil City.

[07:26:44] And that actually helps you just early on skipping using Drillbert in the Berg fight.

[07:26:50] So it actually becomes a lot more similar to the Challenger fight where

[07:26:54] you just use Pig Knight.

[07:26:55] It also skips the whole like running around

[07:26:57] talking with clowns thing because

[07:26:58] 80% does go run around and and talking to the clowns thing, because any percent does go run

[07:27:00] around and talk to all the clowns

[07:27:01] because it's worth it to get that candy.

[07:27:05] Yeah, but not this category.

[07:27:07] It's just in this category, it's just not worth it.

[07:27:09] That went over your head that's fine so goodbye

[07:27:11] to the cinchino there gonna knock touch it and then we're gonna go fight charles which is what

[07:27:16] you were talking about earlier right yes it was this is a fan favorite of so many runners and it is also

[07:27:22] a very big run killer. Yeah I know we just went through like 17 run killers but this

[07:27:27] one's another one. So yeah it's a big run killer at least in any percent.

[07:27:32] He has an Arcan Sigilyph and Teotuga

[07:27:38] And Arcan is not really that big of a deal you usually one shot it

[07:27:41] The sigilph is honestly

[07:27:42] one of the most scary things you could have because it could just confuse you and hit

[07:27:46] you so much.

[07:27:47] And you could miss it too if you get to rock slide there.

[07:27:49] Yeah, you could just crit with Air Putter.

[07:27:56] The tier 2 bit doesn't seem to be always the smartest from what I've seen.

[07:27:58] Yeah, this is a triple battle.

[07:28:01] We did just learn Rock Slide which is a spread move which is cool.

[07:28:03] The positioning here is very precise for a reason.

[07:28:06] It's so true you can't just kill

[07:28:07] our Drillbert early on here

[07:28:09] because of the Alkogen move. You basically want to

[07:28:12] KO these two and then deal with that. Perfect, yeah. You want to KO these two and then deal with the Chieftuga after.

[07:28:18] Totally fine.

[07:28:21] And ideally Sigilyph doesn't side beam confuse you

[07:28:29] why didn't she say anything we were so close to being in the clear

[07:28:33] why would you say that so i mean like 10 confused yeah so tris can't attack

[07:28:39] here just has to keep wide guarding because we're too far apart basically please hit through oh okay

[07:28:44] okay still confused i, still confused.

[07:28:46] I'm still confused which is a problem.

[07:28:47] You can't snap out next turn.

[07:28:49] I could!

[07:28:51] Keyword is could.

[07:28:53] We're gonna see the auto center here

[07:28:55] So now you're healing Salt 2 because I moved from slot 1 to slot 2.

[07:28:57] I have killed so many runs to

[07:28:59] healing the wrong Pokemon, it eats your turn

[07:29:01] when you do that in this game.

[07:29:03] It's a little scary.

[07:29:08] Also my guard just pulled. Yes!

[07:29:12] Okay.

[07:29:14] Totally fine. That was a

[07:29:16] unique Charles fight.

[07:29:18] I was not worried.

[07:29:19] That's a new one on the list of unique Charles fights

[07:29:22] that I've ever had, so...

[07:29:24] Isn't this game so fun?

[07:29:25] It's wonderful!

[07:29:26] New and unique situations.

[07:29:29] I told you guys this was a challenging mode.

[07:29:32] What's our death counter at?

[07:29:33] Like three already?

[07:29:34] We got...

[07:29:35] We got three, yeah.

[07:29:36] Three, okay.

[07:29:37] Well, four plus the theater one too.

[07:29:39] Oh!

[07:29:40] That was a phenomenon.

[07:29:44] On this bridge you can get little shadows

[07:29:46] they can be...

[07:29:48] I don't know what they could be on here. It could be like a ducklet right?

[07:29:50] It's just ducklets.

[07:29:51] Ducklet or item.

[07:29:52] Right.

[07:29:53] Feathers.

[07:29:55] You're lucky I caught that we all would have missed it.

[07:29:58] Feather is significant for the six-throwing hangman.

[07:30:00] So we are reviving everybody here why are we reviving

[07:30:02] everybody um so it's for safety we're also gonna just need them in general for the next spike

[07:30:08] we are going to have to do a manual swap at some point.

[07:30:12] So just taking care of them now helps us have

[07:30:14] safety for the next really bad fight.

[07:30:16] I know you're probably sick of hearing this is a really

[07:30:18] bad fight, but... Yeah,

[07:30:20] that's a run.

[07:30:22] So what's coming Yeah, I mean that's a run. Yeah, it's kind of a run.

[07:30:25] So what's coming up next is Rude.

[07:30:26] Rude has her deer that hits like a truck because of the level boost

[07:30:27] but we're kind of about the same level

[07:30:30] that we would be in normal mode actually, so we're kind of at a

[07:30:33] more unfair advantage and challenge mode here

[07:30:35] compared to normal mode.

[07:30:37] So we're just kind of dealing with

[07:30:39] trying not to get

[07:30:41] absolutely honed. The other problem too is that the Swoobat

[07:30:48] Rude sends up next, is the attract user we have to deal with as a female Drilbur

[07:30:52] so we can just get stun locked by Love.

[07:30:54] It's 50-50 if you hit your Love.

[07:30:56] Attract is I believe 100% accurate right?

[07:30:58] Yes.

[07:30:59] Yeah.

[07:31:00] It also has Air Cutter which is a high crit move.

[07:31:02] It has Imprisoned which is nice because it basically does nothing.

[07:31:06] But the problem on top of all that

[07:31:07] is that Swoop has a 10 and 16 range

[07:31:09] that we cannot improve because

[07:31:11] it has the ability Unaware, which ignores any stat

[07:31:13] changes. So even though we got hit with Intimidate,

[07:31:15] we're not going to bother to use Home Clause

[07:31:18] to get rid of it.

[07:31:18] That was a great flinch by the way

[07:31:22] because any damage from Courier

[07:31:24] just makes Swoob bag that much sketchier

[07:31:27] so what you're saying is rude is rude that's right rude is smooth i'm gonna be rude and

[07:31:34] jump in real quick to tell you that we've passed $26,000 on the Fight Cynthia incentive.

[07:31:41] And like I said, I know it feels like a long run but make sure let's keep that momentum going

[07:31:45] Let's get 40k for charity yes please help us out

[07:31:49] all right so that was an interesting swabat but i didn't get severely punished anyway

[07:31:54] so we take those and now we're finally in extraadrille so i think things will level up a little bit but

[07:32:00] not quite yet yeah we're steel type along with ground type now uh which is very relevant because

[07:32:05] we're out to learn a steel move we're gonna be getting Iron Head with the red shards we picked up

[07:32:09] in the Poblon Center, way back in Mbasa

[07:32:11] Iron Head as Swiff kind of mentioned

[07:32:13] it's an 80 power move. You can also

[07:32:15] flinch. Very strong, very useful

[07:32:17] for a lot of things in the run.

[07:32:19] It's also important to note that Steel-type is one of the best offensive types

[07:32:23] In pretty much the entire series but especially this game before it was nerfed literally the next gen after

[07:32:28] Yeah because of uh...

[07:32:29] The next game dark yeah um because it started or it lost

[07:32:35] uh its resistance to dark and ghost that's what it is right So it still resists 12 out of 17 types in this game.

[07:32:43] It's really good.

[07:32:44] It does make fighting type moves scary but there are not that many to deal with on the

[07:32:48] run.

[07:32:49] We can get a free 0 here but we're going to say no because we don't need it.

[07:32:51] It doesn't do anything for us.

[07:32:53] And then we are going to go learn Iron Head and enter Clay's Gym so we can do some donations now.

[07:32:58] You got it! We've got a $925 donation for Mousehold family of three.

[07:33:07] Kokex donation for 925 Mousehold we've been watching for 10 years and this is the first GDQ we could share with our new baby.

[07:33:15] Thanks for a fantastic Pokemon run!

[07:33:18] Thank you for that fantastic donation!

[07:33:21] I love Masshole.

[07:33:24] Good Pokemon. Do you prefer the 3 or 4?

[07:33:26] I like the four.

[07:33:30] We have $282 from Ryan

[07:33:32] Here's 282 for my favorite Pokemon, Gardevoir.

[07:33:34] Let's see that Cynthia fight. How much

[07:33:37] harder is the special boss in challenge mode?

[07:33:39] Um, it actually doesn't change

[07:33:41] too much. It does get a level up. You're supposed to say it's really

[07:33:43] hard. Oh, I'm sorry uh it's very very

[07:33:45] difficult yeah i'm very lucky to like survive it it's and you're leaving the mud flap on it too

[07:33:52] yeah Yeah, I'm Per- I don't know how Perlo is gonna do that!

[07:33:55] Mudslap's slightly illegal but it's fine.

[07:33:58] It's actually assisting mudslam.

[07:34:03] Pretty sure this strategy does not work with a Zootopia, right?

[07:34:08] Anyway.

[07:34:09] We'll assist Gravity as well.

[07:34:11] Struggle!

[07:34:13] If we're desperate, yes.

[07:34:15] Alright so we are getting into Clay's gym here.

[07:34:17] Clay is another one that's kind of interesting.

[07:34:20] So as we mentioned a little bit earlier, I believe,

[07:34:23] AI, if it can, will try to get the edge on you in regards

[07:34:27] of speed by either trying to drop your speed

[07:34:30] or raise its speed as much as it can until it's faster.

[07:34:33] So Clay's signature move is Bulldoze

[07:34:35] so everyone on Clay's team

[07:34:37] is basically just gonna to spam it and

[07:34:38] that's really bad for us because ground is super effective to us and

[07:34:41] it's basically gonna do over half uh from most of clay's books which is

[07:34:45] really bad so the ideal plan here is to

[07:34:50] do a quick swap

[07:34:51] in and out of Excadrill against

[07:34:53] Clay's lead, which is a Crocoroc

[07:34:55] because it has Intimidate. So we'll do that

[07:34:57] to get our attack back because using a Horn Claws

[07:35:00] is just not feasible,

[07:35:02] because we'll just take a Bulldoze and our speed will get dropped

[07:35:04] so it's not ideal to do that.

[07:35:06] So we can one-shot at plus zero

[07:35:08] so that's what we'll do to take out Krakarok, but then we'll be setting up on Onix

[07:35:14] comes out next so we're sitting up on Onix because Clay will send out a Sandslash next.

[07:35:21] And for Sandslash to be as simple as possible,

[07:35:23] we have to be at the plus 3 attack

[07:35:25] which means we have to use three Home Claws

[07:35:27] If we don't and we only get plus 2

[07:35:30] it's 9 in 16 range and if we only get plus 2, it's a 9 in 16 range.

[07:35:32] And if we only get to plus 1, it's bad.

[07:35:34] So Onyx has both Rock Polish and Bulldoze so we're praying for Rock Polish

[07:35:39] because once it raises its speed

[07:35:41] It will no longer consider Bulldoze to drop our speed.

[07:35:44] And then we'll default to using Rock Slide

[07:35:46] which isn't a big deal

[07:35:47] cause Rock Slide does like nothing to us

[07:35:49] but because it's faster

[07:35:50] we do have the deal with the flinch chance

[07:35:51] I should've saved for this. It's fine.

[07:35:55] But on top of that

[07:35:57] the problem is

[07:35:59] that Onix is basically

[07:36:01] a ticking time bomb because its last move is explosion.

[07:36:04] So it can just blow up at any moment, so we're trying to set up the plus 3 as quickly

[07:36:08] as possible before it blows up. Yeah that's basically the strategy

[07:36:12] Just try and set up on the Onix.

[07:36:14] Hopefully it explodes and you're ready to start attacking.

[07:36:17] And no suitor!

[07:36:20] You pretty much don't expect explosion until we hit it because that's kind of how the air works.

[07:36:25] Like you don't,

[07:36:26] it doesn't explode at full HP.

[07:36:28] All right.

[07:36:28] So we're going to see that one shot with the iron head right now.

[07:36:32] Rock rock going down.

[07:36:33] No problem again.

[07:36:34] The extra drill just gets such a big buff from evolving that you

[07:36:36] can stop one shot things like this and you have really strong moves here comes the onyx

[07:36:40] i'm gonna set up on it enough for the best nice okay that cuts out bulldoze. That's nice.

[07:36:48] Two is to release up the range.

[07:36:53] So that's actually perfect because we get the plus three now.

[07:36:56] If I got flinched that turn

[07:36:57] and then it blew up, we'd be going for the Ranger

[07:36:59] and that's just awful. So that's actually

[07:37:01] like a perfect clay fight right there

[07:37:03] Yeah, that's a great rare explosion

[07:37:05] That's like... yeah That's perfect. Yeah, that's very top worthy because

[07:37:09] that's huge luck on our side. I feel like the only way that can get better is

[07:37:12] you're at plus two and your forced to go for the range on CSLash

[07:37:15] and then you actually get it right this, right. This is perfectly fine.

[07:37:19] I was never worried.

[07:37:20] Didn't even need to save.

[07:37:21] Didn't even need to save.

[07:37:22] You knew all this

[07:37:23] was going to happen

[07:37:24] before it happened.

[07:37:25] Exactly.

[07:37:26] Very nice, very nice.

[07:37:27] So yeah, getting more levels here and getting really strong pretty fast

[07:37:30] And then we're off to the Pokemon World Tournament

[07:37:35] That'll be so fun to read donations for

[07:37:38] We have a couple victory ones on our way there now to read their nation score. Oh, yeah.

[07:37:39] We'll get a couple victory ones on our way there now.

[07:37:41] Sure thing.

[07:37:42] We just saw them.

[07:37:43] It's $28 from Armadillo64 for my favorite Pokemon,

[07:37:47] Sandslash the OG Exadrill.

[07:37:51] Can you dig it?

[07:37:55] We also have $39 from Remi Jets donating $39

[07:37:59] for my favorite.

[07:38:00] I'm gonna try to do this.

[07:38:02] Jiggy Bunny Pants!

[07:38:05] I love it.

[07:38:06] Banger.

[07:38:10] And $25 from Lori D. Bunnykins,

[07:38:13] somewhat late contribution of my $5 per unintended death

[07:38:16] from Celeste64.

[07:38:17] It was a blast being on the couch for that run.

[07:38:19] Best of luck GTS4Life

[07:38:21] on repping the best Pokemon

[07:38:22] generation.

[07:38:23] If you disagree on best Pokemon

[07:38:26] generation, please donate and let us know

[07:38:28] why your preferred one is better.

[07:38:31] Games done quick slash donate.

[07:38:32] Exactly.

[07:38:33] If that's your hot take...

[07:38:34] Gen foreheads stand up, now is your time.

[07:38:37] Everyone who's annoying about HeartGold SoulSilver please we need you.

[07:38:41] Yeah, she hates it. We need you. It achieves it.

[07:38:44] We need you, Tucker.

[07:38:50] So going into the Pokemon World Tournament they even abbreviate

[07:38:52] it here. Isn't that fun?

[07:38:54] Yeah. So this is a facility

[07:38:56] that really shines in the post-game.

[07:38:59] We're kind of forced to go here as

[07:39:01] part of the story. This area used

[07:39:03] to be cold storage and black white, but they bulldozed it over

[07:39:05] And turned into a PWT for more tourism.

[07:39:08] Capitalism, you know?

[07:39:09] Yeah right! Capitalism at its finest

[07:39:11] The whole gimmick here is that you enter into eight person

[07:39:16] bracket of tournaments and try to go to the top.

[07:39:19] And when obviously we don't actually get any XP while

[07:39:23] we're participating in this facility,

[07:39:28] we're doing a very specific cup known as the drift veil cups that's the one that's required for us to beat the uh i'd like to continue the story

[07:39:33] but later on you do get access to fight all the gym leaders of the previous

[07:39:37] generations here as well.

[07:39:40] As well as the champions

[07:39:41] once you've kind of cleared all the gym

[07:39:43] leaders enough times. There's a whole

[07:39:45] process there before. There's a run that's done, it's like 10 hours long.

[07:39:48] It's very impressive to watch because there's a lot of decision making

[07:39:51] that goes into the battling.

[07:39:52] It's a very fun category if you're super nerdy in the battling and stuff.

[07:39:56] Yeah, it's just a cool piece of post-game content too

[07:39:59] in particular but mid run

[07:40:01] it sucks. You're not getting experience

[07:40:03] from doing all these fights

[07:40:05] so we have made it past

[07:40:07] like the worst of the run generally in terms of like the reset points a lot

[07:40:11] of the hardest fights are over yeah but it is still very easy to lose time do not worry

[07:40:17] yeah there are a couple of fights yet that can still give us quite the headache.

[07:40:21] But TWT here is not too big of a deal. In normal mode, Duat has a 13 and 16 range

[07:40:26] but since we're doing challenge mode in the extra XP that we have

[07:40:28] it does make this guaranteed, so

[07:40:30] it's not a big problem for us.

[07:40:32] The rest of the PWT is pretty simple

[07:40:34] but there is one little gimmick here

[07:40:36] and that's that abilities are actually randomized

[07:40:39] So if Pokemon can have two different abilities,

[07:40:41] it'll actually be random which one it has.

[07:40:43] In my experience with running this category,

[07:40:46] one tends to be a little more preferable than the other.

[07:40:50] Not 100% on the RNG at the top of my head

[07:40:52] that causes it or whatever,

[07:40:54] because it's a whole process you don't want to get into.

[07:40:58] Basically two abilities that are notable here

[07:41:00] is Charon's Stuntland.

[07:41:04] By the way, we're always going to fight the same three battles here.

[07:41:07] They just kind of fill in random NPCs.

[07:41:09] The random NPCs are always going to lose very sad.

[07:41:11] Sorry, Clarissa. We're always going to fight rival Charon and Colrus in that order.

[07:41:15] So, Col- um, Charon sorry has Stutland as the lead

[07:41:19] and Stutland can either have Intimidate or Sandrush I believe is the other ability

[07:41:22] that Stuttlands can have so

[07:41:25] we're hoping for no intimidate because otherwise we'll have to use a home clause to get back to

[07:41:30] neutral attack and then we have just a 1 in eight range here up from 1 and 16

[07:41:34] to normal mode to one shot it so hopefully we get that

[07:41:38] i always like good luck yeah i also like not losing time

[07:41:43] yeah right how about some donations for

[07:41:45] some good luck i would love that we've got five dollars

[07:41:49] from spoink who says spoik point oh would you look

[07:41:54] at that no intimid intimidate. Perfect.

[07:41:55] Get the donation this point for it.

[07:41:57] Thanks to Point.

[07:41:59] $19 from YachtKV.

[07:42:01] 19 for the local Synerdex number of the best electric cat, Luxray.

[07:42:05] At least they don't have static hi from the back couch

[07:42:11] ten dollars from nerd mom rars someone said favorite underappreciated pokemon? I give you Toxel.

[07:42:17] He's just a baby having a tantrum, I love him!

[07:42:21] My heart like sank for half a second because I didn't realize that Chino can have Cheek Charm and I watched it proc

[07:42:26] It's so weird how

[07:42:27] we can proc when it's dying yeah just never relevant yeah that is one of the lesser known

[07:42:33] ability quirks uh there's one more in this next fight.

[07:42:38] Colrus has a Magneton that can either have Magna-Pole, which

[07:42:42] is the one we want or Sturdy, which you know

[07:42:44] You can't kill it on 1 hit as a Gen 5 and acts like a Focus Ash

[07:42:48] This is the gen where St where sturdy is actually good now.

[07:42:49] Very unfortunate because there's a lot of sturdy in this run.

[07:42:52] The problem as well is that Megabaton has Mirror Shot which

[07:42:55] has a small chance of dropping our accuracy and it also

[07:42:58] has Supersonic,

[07:43:00] which may confuse us. I really like in VGTS where every time we just list everything that can go wrong

[07:43:08] and of course it all happened.

[07:43:10] Yeah, we just expect that.

[07:43:13] Yeah...

[07:43:15] This category is great.

[07:43:17] I have died to this fight before.

[07:43:20] Yes, I've died to Cholrest chorus you have to restart the whole thing yeah

[07:43:24] really you're not like supposed to like continue if your confusion just switch a

[07:43:28] sack and you can't stay between these fights either yeah awesome there isn't just too strong

[07:43:33] if if you're confused you can swap you can't risk for it i've done both it's sad it depends

[07:43:38] on things so yeah it depends on pace hopefully you it. Now we got the sturdy...

[07:43:43] Oh! The dodge though!

[07:43:45] 55% accuracy.

[07:43:47] Very very missable.

[07:43:51] So yeah, the rest are easy. Just Iron Head this and victory.

[07:43:55] Yeah so I guess victory for PW2 donation! Alright, so that's GWT done.

[07:44:10] There is one important thing to note. So you get a battle point after you beat PWT,

[07:44:17] You give all points in this game by beating PWT

[07:44:20] In any percent we actually buy a Carbos with it

[07:44:23] In challenge mode you don't buy anything!

[07:44:25] Because apparently you don't need it and I didn't know that.

[07:44:27] Yeah, it's just because

[07:44:29] you're getting more levels so

[07:44:31] you outspeed the one thing that you need

[07:44:33] the Carbos or the Greatness of Elygon Makes sense. you need the carbos which is great in svalagon yeah yeah you can get some cool stuff with bp

[07:44:38] in this area uh unfortunately they're cheapskates so you get one yeah for winning a tournament

[07:44:43] whatever who cares like a lot of the competitive moves

[07:44:46] you can get here for a VP

[07:44:47] and they're pretty stark amounts

[07:44:48] so you can't really, like,

[07:44:50] justify getting any of them

[07:44:51] in,

[07:44:51] like,

[07:44:52] a speedrun context.

[07:44:54] The one VP that you get

[07:44:55] can only get you

[07:44:56] one vitamin.

[07:44:59] Sorry, I owe you a victory donation

[07:45:01] Yes! Go for it!

[07:45:03] $35.40 from Terrifecta

[07:45:05] Leaving your donation for Banat my favorite creepy marionette ghost types

[07:45:09] we'd love to you can produce some more honestly than this part sure thing we've got $39.90 from Spec Mantle Maid donating for my favorite little guy, Badoof. Please insert Badooof noise here.

[07:45:28] I don't remember what Bidoof sounds like.

[07:45:32] I heard someone do it in the crowd.

[07:45:37] That's my best impression of what I heard from here.

[07:45:40] The Badoof noise is just badoof!

[07:45:42] Badoof!

[07:45:44] Oh...

[07:45:46] We also have $100 from Blue Magma.

[07:45:49] It's no Tentruel, but I guess

[07:45:51] Axe-cafell is pretty cool too!

[07:45:53] Thanks for showing off a great run today

[07:45:55] TTS and everyone involved!

[07:45:57] Thank you, Blue.

[07:45:59] Alright we are surrounded here what's going on?

[07:46:00] Uh yeah so we saw a Plasma Grunt um kind of run around uh and you got

[07:46:07] really upset about it I guess we never

[07:46:09] really explained like his lore.

[07:46:11] It's about as deep as a slightly bent sheet of paper, but basically he had a purloin stolen from him

[07:46:18] as kid or at least it was his sister's purloin I. And that flinch is actually kind of clutch.

[07:46:24] But...

[07:46:24] So he's kind of on a mission

[07:46:27] to get that pearline back

[07:46:28] so anytime he sees like a plasma grunt

[07:46:31] he basically just swells up into a fit of range and wants

[07:46:33] to

[07:46:34] beeline it straight towards

[07:46:37] that plasma grunt and get as

[07:46:40] many answers as you can about it. He's very anime

[07:46:42] for sure. Yeah. He doesn't know this but we actually stole

[07:46:45] the court line for uh cynthia so that it could use months left exactly i was trying to think

[07:46:50] of how to tie that in but you beat me too.

[07:46:56] Poor Trubbish, sorry. Trubbish time is over.

[07:46:58] That grunt right before the fight

[07:46:59] was like hey it's Trubbish Time

[07:47:01] and every time I read it

[07:47:02] I just think of Morbius

[07:47:04] and now its like Morbin Time Yeah its Trubbish I just think of Morbius. How it's like, morphing time?

[07:47:05] It's trubbing time.

[07:47:07] So now we've got some true double battles here.

[07:47:11] The general rule for the true doubles

[07:47:13] because there is going to be a lot, especially in the latter half of the game here.

[07:47:16] Q is a horrible doubles partner.

[07:47:19] Everyone else is just fine.

[07:47:21] So the idea here is that

[07:47:22] I'm going to rock slide, hope I don't miss the

[07:47:24] Golbat range or just don't miss it at all.

[07:47:27] And then Stoutland should clear up what's left on the field

[07:47:30] assuming you get the range on Golbats.

[07:47:34] Oh, lingering there.

[07:47:36] Missing quite a few ranges...

[07:47:37] The Stoutland, the

[07:47:39] Bofang and that base.

[07:47:43] It's not a big deal.

[07:47:45] Just time loss because you're not in danger yeah if we can take care of

[07:47:49] both on the first turn then uh me and salem can still take care of both on the second

[07:47:52] turn so kind of save a turn by not having to wait for the croc rock to come out separate here

[07:48:04] yeah that's that's the general theme of a lot of these fights especially the true little battles were just like you can't really lose them, but you can lose time.

[07:48:08] Yes.

[07:48:09] Not too bad though.

[07:48:10] But yeah we're going to get off this plasma ship.

[07:48:13] Plasma frigate?

[07:48:14] Is that what it's called?

[07:48:15] Yeah it's called the Frigate.

[07:48:16] Pretty soon here and then we'll come back to it later.

[07:48:18] He was talking about the Perlin

[07:48:20] and Aspersia. Is that Aspersia?

[07:48:22] Aspersia, I say.

[07:48:23] I call it Aspersia. I've heard Aspertia

[07:48:26] before and I feel like that's all.

[07:48:28] None of that.

[07:48:32] So yeah, more poison types! Yay! Yeah so I'm gonna Iron Head the coughing

[07:48:34] and pray that Duat does the right thing

[07:48:37] and water pulses the coughing

[07:48:39] The coughing can blow up with self-destruct or just attack,

[07:48:42] I would like to take as little damage as possible throughout these fights. Why would you click

[07:48:47] revenge? Thank you G1! the world would you click revenge?

[07:48:51] Two poison types in front of me?

[07:48:52] Revenge.

[07:48:53] Yeah.

[07:48:55] Like Water Pulse just objectively does more.

[07:48:58] I think this is...

[07:49:00] But if Juwak got hit it would have done double damage so thinking about

[07:49:03] that i think he did get hit it did double damage all right so that's a little pretty

[07:49:11] chill so awkward on the way out

[07:49:13] but it doesn't matter.

[07:49:15] That's still weird

[07:49:17] because a quirk about the AI

[07:49:19] is that it's never guaranteed to do something

[07:49:21] unless it's guaranteed to kill.

[07:49:24] So that applies to both you and any fight that is dealing with me, if I am below what whatever move I'm scared of like does at minimum, then I am guaranteed to get that move.

[07:49:35] I can't be in a range to die and know

[07:49:40] that's going to happen so it is always kind of an awkward

[07:49:43] situation balancing that in Gen 5, because AI is unpredictable when it's not predictable.

[07:49:49] Which is basically only when you're going to do the die.

[07:49:53] You learned the best move of all time in that battle.

[07:49:56] Yes, we learn Earthquake which were going to take heavy advantage of

[07:49:59] Yeah, incredibly strong ground type move

[07:50:02] 100 base power spread and move on both sides of the field

[07:50:05] so it'll suit your allies if they're not flying

[07:50:07] type of course and uh yeah we're gonna be spamming it a lot for a lot of this run and we're gonna

[07:50:12] be iron heading basically everything else and it's no contact, which is really pretty. Yes. Yeah, would have been nice

[07:50:17] earlier, but still nice

[07:50:19] to have for now. Now we're done with this whole

[07:50:21] town of Driftville City. We're going to do

[07:50:23] a little bit of shopping here.

[07:50:25] This will be our last shopping of the whole run actually we'll get just enough

[07:50:28] heels and rappels to get through the rest of the run um and then we're gonna get to in my opinion

[07:50:34] the most interesting part of the run movement wisewise. It's like a whole long string

[07:50:39] of really rewarding to pull off movements,

[07:50:43] so I'm gonna shut up and focus on it

[07:50:45] and these guys can kinda give you

[07:50:48] the lowdown

[07:50:48] of like all the

[07:50:49] different pieces

[07:50:50] of it here.

[07:50:51] Yeah, so

[07:50:52] this is going to

[07:50:53] show off one

[07:50:54] of the

[07:50:55] spinner setups

[07:50:55] that we have

[07:50:56] kind of

[07:50:57] manufactured

[07:50:58] and So as long as he gets kind of manufactured.

[07:51:00] So as long as he gets a pause on the second tile

[07:51:04] here, okay...yeah that was a safe check but unfortunately

[07:51:08] the spinner looked in the direction of him um spinners are kind

[07:51:14] of like a one and well that's winners can spin spin four different ways.

[07:51:20] So it's a one in 16 to look at him and

[07:51:24] It kind of decreases with the amount of directions

[07:51:28] That the spinner can actually look.

[07:51:29] If he can look three ways and it's one in 12,

[07:51:31] if it's two different ways

[07:51:33] then it's one in eight.

[07:51:34] I can't look at that

[07:51:35] door entrance cutscene

[07:51:36] without thinking of the clip

[07:51:37] that Minnow has

[07:51:38] where it's just infinitely

[07:51:39] zooming in on the door.

[07:51:41] It's so funny! I know what you're talking about yeah it's so weird

[07:51:45] did even like didn't go back to the game or did it just like get to turn off

[07:51:49] softball again oh That's so weird.

[07:51:52] This is really funny.

[07:51:53] So another quick little fight here.

[07:51:54] Again I'm just going to one shot it no problem and then we'll go back to the cool movement

[07:51:58] stuff.

[07:51:59] Yeah, so this right here is actually not even like a setup.

[07:52:01] It's just like a run the bike.

[07:52:02] It's just a

[07:52:04] thing that we can do because we know that the spinner is loaded in already

[07:52:08] and running in that direction of the spinner makes it turn right

[07:52:12] and then you have a few frames of leeway where

[07:52:14] you can get on the bike and then just blow past it.

[07:52:17] So as long as you execute it is 100%. Yeah and something to point out too

[07:52:21] is like a lot of the spinners setup stuff are

[07:52:23] just things we've figured out are relatively recent

[07:52:26] like discoveries yeah i think it's like up until like 2020. yeah no there was no

[07:52:32] spinner tech in like gen four or 5. Yeah, back then people just

[07:52:35] ran it.

[07:52:37] I think Middle was the one who broke ground on

[07:52:40] making like spinner

[07:52:41] mechanics, using the

[07:52:44] spinner mechanics to get

[07:52:45] down spinners.

[07:52:47] Yeah, can you imagine running this like six years ago and on top of all

[07:52:51] the variants of less than stuff, you also have a variant of oh well I'm just going to hit half

[07:52:55] the spinners in this rush.

[07:52:56] Yeah it's really fun,

[07:52:57] just like all the RNG Minip shenanigans as well back then too.

[07:53:00] True, true.

[07:53:01] Well the RNG Minips have also come a long way since then

[07:53:04] we have dust cloud stuff now

[07:53:05] which we'll actually go over later well it's more

[07:53:07] like the consistency of the timer zero but that too yeah i'm not gonna get into

[07:53:11] that that's a whole other technical explanation but it is just really complicated it used to

[07:53:15] be awful to just rg minute 4 back in like 6 years ago

[07:53:19] So again right there

[07:53:21] another spinner setup

[07:53:22] He got it and then he did another run of the bike

[07:53:25] Yep so

[07:53:27] more movement there trying to make sure not to hit that standing trainer.

[07:53:30] Yeah, so this room...

[07:53:32] Oh!

[07:53:33] As long as he doesn't...

[07:53:35] All good.

[07:53:37] I'm pretty sure he bonked one time, which is enough time to lose so that scientist isn't looking up.

[07:53:43] And we're at a chargestone cave! Yay!

[07:53:46] Only a little scary.

[07:53:51] I'm impressed how few phenomenon we've gotten,

[07:53:53] I expected to get absolutely small amount of them.

[07:53:56] Especially with my monies on the line.

[07:53:58] Just wait for Giant Chasm.

[07:54:01] You always guess them in there.

[07:54:03] Any cave is always a nightmare to go through

[07:54:05] because of the odds of clouds

[07:54:07] basically just being everywhere.

[07:54:09] Gonna talk to Professor Juniper here, who's gonna

[07:54:12] give us a Master Ball, which is cool, but

[07:54:13] we also got something way better from her in just

[07:54:16] a little bit. We're getting the Lucky Egg

[07:54:18] which is a very broken

[07:54:20] item that they just love throwing at you in gen 5

[07:54:23] and some other gents too, but Gen 5 they're like

[07:54:27] here's a free lucky egg have fun and lucky egg just boosts your

[07:54:31] exp gain by 50%.

[07:54:33] So we're gonna equip that immediately

[07:54:34] and just start skyrocketing in level.

[07:54:38] But before that, more movement

[07:54:41] that'll test you.

[07:54:42] I'm just watching for phenomenons you honestly this whole split phenomenon

[07:54:44] this whole split is just like it's testing your movement

[07:54:49] i didn't hear one okay now we're like hallucinating

[07:54:54] kind of schizo-ing?

[07:54:56] So entering the...what is this place called again?

[07:55:00] Celestial Tower.

[07:55:01] Yeah, so Juniper just somehow beat us here.

[07:55:05] And we're going to get the lucky egg from her.

[07:55:07] And then with that lucky egg, I'm

[07:55:09] going to equip it on pretty much immediately

[07:55:10] and then we go back and fight Skylo, another gym leader.

[07:55:13] Yeah dude, XMO can never do it this easy giving you a lucky hug like that oh

[07:55:16] true that is the other hand that does what game do you get at the earliest then um i don't even

[07:55:25] remember where are you getting Black and White 1.

[07:55:27] It's at the beginning of Charged Time Cave.

[07:55:29] Oh, yeah, I guess that would be a good way to get in.

[07:55:31] Yeah, it is.

[07:55:32] I don't know when it is in XY.

[07:55:34] Um...

[07:55:35] It's like two hours in right?

[07:55:36] It's after the fourth gym.

[07:55:37] Oh I don't know what that is time-wise

[07:55:39] You've ran it

[07:55:41] But I don't remember right now

[07:55:43] I think it's about the same time maybe earlier

[07:55:45] but the thing is you have to get like really like not unlucky sure sure

[07:55:51] that's why i said it yeah and i don't think uh i don't think any of the earlier gens used to just

[07:55:55] give it to you i think he just had to steal it from a chancy

[07:55:58] i was looking for phenomenon there uh yeah

[07:56:01] in dppt you literally use thief on a minute

[07:56:06] chancey that has lucky egg yep yeah that is so cool oh that kind of

[07:56:10] yeah that's not the game giving it to you

[07:56:14] uh see how that guy just slammed into us uh hopefully we don't

[07:56:17] slam into anybody in this gym yeah it's also kind of annoying

[07:56:21] uh yeah even more uh difficult movement let's see what he just does here okay

[07:56:26] he's going for this frame perfect um movement bit it's actually pretty easy because

[07:56:32] you know movement is just like you buffer it and then uh

[07:56:36] you know it's just gonna be expected to work but yeah if he had wasted a frame more after going for that blue protected bank from the, from these wind tunnels. Then he'd like be blown back and then slam into

[07:56:55] the trainer and they'll fight you so that you really don't want to mess up here.

[07:56:59] Yeah this Jim's really safe. He does it perfectly.

[07:57:03] That is really hard by the way.

[07:57:05] I can't do that so that is worth clapping for.

[07:57:09] And safety save because we're going to use our X speed here

[07:57:12] and if we die and don't have the X speed And safety save, because we're going to use our X-Speed here.

[07:57:12] If we die and don't have the XP that's a big problem.

[07:57:15] This Gym fight is annoying especially

[07:57:17] because the Unaware Shubat

[07:57:19] is the first Pokémon here.

[07:57:21] Again, Unaware if you missed the explanation earlier basically just means it ignores any stat changes on you so we can't even like try to buff our way through

[07:57:28] it uh it will just ignore it the other Pokemon won't notice though but

[07:57:32] the the Suubat will so it is kind of annoying.

[07:57:34] It's once again a Suva just ignoring

[07:57:36] the home clause and then being

[07:57:38] in range, and being able to miss...

[07:57:41] I have max HP don't I?

[07:57:42] I can go for the high HP stuff, you know?

[07:57:44] Yeah. There's two different strats here where

[07:57:46] You can homeclaw once or you can homeclaws twice

[07:57:49] Homecalling once makes Sigileth a range

[07:57:52] Which is the extra poke that you get in challenge mode.

[07:57:58] So let's see what happens here...

[07:58:01] Seems fine?

[07:58:03] Oh, not fine! Not fine!

[07:58:05] That's a sh- I don't know where! Oh, not fine. Not fine. Classic.

[07:58:06] That's what you're going to do first.

[07:58:07] I was just excited

[07:58:09] to click on close.

[07:58:10] So we're going for the plus one.

[07:58:11] This is going to be arranged.

[07:58:13] Yeah,

[07:58:13] you want to XP first

[07:58:14] in case it doesn't really cred

[07:58:15] and you have to change your strategy.

[07:58:16] Oh yeah, and for reference, if you're wondering why that missed after three home claws with

[07:58:19] the plus-three accuracy...

[07:58:20] Sky was gonna heal.

[07:58:21] ...Smoovebat has unaware.

[07:58:22] Unaware ignores all stat boosts.

[07:58:24] It is...

[07:58:25] It stinks.

[07:58:25] Yeah, it stinks.

[07:58:26] It really does. But also ignores the accuracy boost as stinks. Yeah, it stinks. It really does.

[07:58:27] But also ignores the accuracy boost as well.

[07:58:29] Yeah.

[07:58:29] That's how you miss anything.

[07:58:32] So Iron Head, knock it out onto the Swanna.

[07:58:35] Yeah.

[07:58:36] Swanna is why you need the XP, if swanna's faster than you,

[07:58:38] If-if you give it a turn it'll like...

[07:58:40] Quick surf and kill ya.

[07:58:41] It'll bubble beam or...

[07:58:43] Or yeah, surr

[07:58:45] I guess it loses like what? Feather Dance from normal mode or something?

[07:58:48] Something, I don't remember exactly what feather dance from normal mode or something something i don't remember the other dances bad whatever it has in here is

[07:58:51] bad um this is also arranged uh i went to

[07:58:56] plus two so yeah it's a 75 if I didn't go to plus 2 though.

[07:59:01] Yes.

[07:59:02] And then the last Pokemon is Skarmory which you don't have

[07:59:04] a super-thin move against,

[07:59:05] so you're just going to Rock Slide it and hope for the best.

[07:59:08] Yeah, I'm gonna do do a footwork slide with this

[07:59:11] with this little street skirt.

[07:59:14] You're getting so many flinches!

[07:59:15] I know, but the flinches are actually pretty nice because...

[07:59:18] 30% by the way!

[07:59:25] Oh my gosh! it's actually really good because uh skirmory has agility to boost his speed to become faster than you and then he'll start spamming steel wing which has a very small

[07:59:28] chance of raising defense and if it does raise defense you kind

[07:59:31] of have a problem yeah that's at ten percent i think

[07:59:35] yeah i think it's 10% I'm not sure

[07:59:39] donate now to tell us! Yes, please. We need knowledge.

[07:59:43] Knowledge in the form of money.

[07:59:47] We may be really good speedrunners

[07:59:49] at this game but as far as our logic goes

[07:59:51] it's about as deep as the speedrun goes.

[07:59:54] Yeah so I guess it's victory donations time.

[07:59:57] That's right.

[07:59:58] You got it! We've got a $1000 donation from Kaylee.

[08:00:06] Who says drill go brrrr?

[08:00:09] Doctors go no borssss.

[08:00:19] We also have $15 from Bearfish, a Pokemon speedrun. That's what I call a rapid dash.

[08:00:22] A little bit.

[08:00:23] Oh that's a Pokemon.

[08:00:24] It is a Pokemon!

[08:00:26] Also $25 from Rappelart.

[08:00:28] Which Pokemon could also be a pirate?

[08:00:31] Arrrr-ceus. We're just hopping on a plane here Stius.

[08:00:36] We're just hopping on a plane here and seeing the cutscene, so we can do

[08:00:38] more for sure. Sure thing!

[08:00:40] We are still seeing one of these Pokemon

[08:00:42] puns. We have $13.60

[08:00:44] from Myropid.

[08:00:46] Pokedex getting fired up for best Eeveelution Flareon.

[08:00:51] Hype?

[08:00:52] HYPE!

[08:00:53] Flareons okay.

[08:00:55] Oh no hype for Flareon. What is your favorite, I hate the flareon!

[08:00:57] What is your favorite Eeveelution?

[08:00:59] Jolteon!

[08:01:02] I'm a flareon girl myself so I get it.

[08:01:04] S beyond clears.

[08:01:09] What is going on? Let me think about this for a second.

[08:01:11] Also while TTS is thinking about this if you notice we're in a completely different area

[08:01:14] from what's in Black and White 1 so the progression

[08:01:17] If you haven't noticed i thought it was pretty obvious

[08:01:18] but if you have a progression in black and white two is different from black and white

[08:01:23] one the first like few gyms are like the middle jibs are the same but then

[08:01:27] like it gets a little bit different gym before to six is

[08:01:30] like the same order yeah but then like some of the other gyms get swapped around i don't know

[08:01:35] where that cloud was i just heard it and panicked. Shaking grass?

[08:01:40] Or shaking grass, yeah same thing.

[08:01:42] I didn't hear it.

[08:01:44] Hopefully no clouds here.

[08:01:46] I couldn't see where because...

[08:01:48] We'll see like six clouds here. I immediately looked down at my DS to see it. Hopefully, it's just one out of the way and then we don't have

[08:01:52] to worry about it for the rest of the way.

[08:01:53] Yeah!

[08:01:56] I'm just watching so carefully now.

[08:01:58] So funny movement there just to make sure that you

[08:02:00] don't hit this trainer.

[08:02:01] Yeah, it's nine frames that you need away.

[08:02:03] So that's two walk tiles plus anything else.

[08:02:05] So a bonk is a bonk.

[08:02:09] Just watching this.

[08:02:13] There's no dust clouds! Where they at?

[08:02:15] This is an anxiety mountain.

[08:02:18] Okay!

[08:02:19] Alright, so we got into the double battle.

[08:02:21] So like all these potential spots for dust clouds

[08:02:23] kind of makes you have to focus up

[08:02:25] so that you can maybe react to a dust cloud in your way?

[08:02:29] Yeah, and as we kind of mentioned earlier

[08:02:31] this is actually one of the areas that makes

[08:02:33] White 2 faster than Black 2.

[08:02:35] Even though we kind of have to make a big swooping

[08:02:37] U-shape to get around here

[08:02:39] in Black 2 it's like a straight

[08:02:41] V line across the top because

[08:02:42] what paths are open and closed to you

[08:02:45] are a little different between the two versions.

[08:02:47] And also in Black 2, the mountain here is blue.

[08:02:52] I got a blue view cause it's like dormant and then in white 2

[08:02:55] it's like red because it's active or whatever.

[08:02:56] But the big point that I'm trying to get at is that

[08:02:58] in black 2 when you're taking that path across

[08:03:01] the top they actually plant another double there that

[08:03:02] you have to fight in order to get through

[08:03:04] the mountain. So, that just makes White Sheep

[08:03:07] had to fall faster because it's easier to make

[08:03:09] that longer route through here

[08:03:11] but I only have to fight one double.

[08:03:13] If it's active, why are they letting people go through it?

[08:03:16] Um... For the adventure. Yeah.

[08:03:19] Doesn't seem very safe. Or the challenge!

[08:03:20] Ohhhhhhhhhh!

[08:03:23] We're like 10 years old and we were allowed to do just about anything you want.

[08:03:26] Are you concerned that they're not going to let people go into an active volcano?

[08:03:30] Yeah, I'm worried that they might catch on fire.

[08:03:33] I mean, we have an extra drill that can cause earthquakes.

[08:03:37] It's whatever. The drill could also catch on fire! This is true.

[08:03:39] Yeah this is true.

[08:03:41] We just take advantage of the Earthquake destroying there

[08:03:43] pretty useful. Um so that's a true double

[08:03:45] because or at least I should say more like a true double, because... Or at least I should say it's more of like

[08:03:48] a following double is what I like to call it

[08:03:50] because Bianca has partnered up with us.

[08:03:52] And that means we got a free heal after that fight

[08:03:54] just like we got a free heal from you and the sewers earlier

[08:03:56] cause he was following us so it was like a the following double scenario here

[08:03:59] but now we're kind of coming up on

[08:04:01] the absolutely worst

[08:04:03] rival fight

[08:04:07] So, the problem here is that UnPzant has the move Taunt, which stops us from setting up

[08:04:10] and we want to get two plus 2 attack for one-shotting Samurott otherwise

[08:04:15] you kind of have to deal with Aqua Jet range shenanigans

[08:04:18] that are kind of sketchy to work with.

[08:04:20] Yeah.

[08:04:20] So I'm kind of praying for a detect to turn one and not taunts.

[08:04:24] Yeah, one of the worst feelings is getting through all the garbage

[08:04:26] of early game and then losing your run to this fight.

[08:04:28] Like it just feels so bad. That taunt yeah i didn't go first

[08:04:33] so um i'm gonna be chipping with rock slide then praying for a flinch but

[08:04:38] it's more likely going to pick aqua jet so I'll just be faster because of priority.

[08:04:41] Also if it picks

[08:04:43] Revenge and

[08:04:45] I don't flinch it, I just take a crap ton damage

[08:04:47] too. But the plan here

[08:04:49] is to just take really low Aqua Jet roll into...

[08:04:53] That's good.

[08:04:54] Yeah, that's pretty good.

[08:04:55] So another Aqua Jet does not kill me unless it's a...

[08:04:58] Don't say that!

[08:05:01] Okay so T, you actually got

[08:05:02] the minimum that isn't

[08:05:04] the min roll.

[08:05:06] I got like the 2 out of 17

[08:05:08] smallest roll, which is

[08:05:10] perfect. And we get a really strong move now. We say goodbye to Hone Clause and get Sword Dance

[08:05:15] Which was just what if Hone Clause was good?

[08:05:18] So now we get two attack boosts instead of one

[08:05:21] The first time we use it

[08:05:23] we're just doubling our attack straight up.

[08:05:25] We do however lose out on the accuracy boost that Home Clause gave us

[08:05:28] So Rock Slide misses! Yay!

[08:05:31] But Swords Dance, the attack was just so worth it

[08:05:33] Yeah, makes sense that you really don't need X-items at all.

[08:05:37] Yeah and X-Evil is going to be fast enough for most things anyway generally

[08:05:40] So we're just gonna chill out

[08:05:42] And spam swords dance and Earthquake

[08:05:44] And win most fights that way yeah the combination of swords

[08:05:46] dance good moves and like good speed just makes extra like so good you don't have to worry about

[08:05:53] like buying x items at all uh there's no other pokemon in the game i'm pretty sure that can like just

[08:05:57] not get excited so they have to take it like chop at shopping mall nine

[08:06:01] so actually you're just like it's just so much better than everything else. Oh! There's another one.

[08:06:09] Okay, and the max ether here to restore our PP later?

[08:06:11] You'd much prefer a water

[08:06:13] one instead of grass one. Yes,

[08:06:15] grass ones are always scary because it's really hard to see where they are.

[08:06:17] Especially when you're biking at like 4x speed.

[08:06:19] Yeah, if it's in your way then I'm lucky.

[08:06:22] Yeah basically. The bike in this game is so fast cause it doesn't have any acceleration or deceleration curves if you

[08:06:28] have two states either stop or go yeah it's a little kind of an insane bike it's it it

[08:06:33] is extremely fast but just the top speed of any bike in Pokémon series without the drawbacks.

[08:06:40] It's hard! It's really hard to effectively use it because like...

[08:06:44] I've struggled so much with those one-pile entries.

[08:06:48] Yeah, cause at least like the mock bike,

[08:06:49] it has a little bit of windup.

[08:06:50] You can prepare yourself for what's about to happen,

[08:06:52] but this is just like zoom, zoom, zoom.

[08:06:54] Yeah.

[08:06:55] Another thing,

[08:06:56] just to update everybody on the lore here,

[08:06:58] so we're kind of following Professor Juniper around

[08:07:00] because she's trying to figure out stuff about Legendary Dragon

[08:07:02] and I think some Team Plasma stuff at the same time,

[08:07:04] but she is really more obsessed

[08:07:06] with the Legendary Dragon stuff.

[08:07:08] However it is optimal and stuff. However,

[08:07:10] it is optimal to just act completely

[08:07:13] clueless against Juniper and have no idea what

[08:07:15] she's talking about. It's kind of funny because

[08:07:16] a lot of times in this beer in particular

[08:07:19] is that you are actively sabotaging the good guys

[08:07:22] and agreeing with the bad guys

[08:07:23] in order to move around as quickly.

[08:07:25] Pretty much yeah.

[08:07:27] Yeah generally your dialogue

[08:07:28] is always just like saying Just saying yes to everybody.

[08:07:32] Yeah. Whatever who cares?

[08:07:34] But then a few times you're like a Team Plasma apologist

[08:07:38] Speaking of Team Plasma

[08:07:40] We are going to fight some people here pretty soon.

[08:07:42] Once this heal is done. Yeah I gotta

[08:07:45] heal up here because this is a little too sketchy of a health

[08:07:47] to try to take care of

[08:07:48] things until my next menu. It basically just comes down

[08:07:51] to how well that rival fight goes, whether or not I need

[08:07:53] to do a quick heal here. Here Hugh says have you seen

[08:07:57] Team Plasma? And they immediately show up which is awesome. What is

[08:08:01] this guy's role again in Team Plasma?

[08:08:04] He's kind of like the man under the boss.

[08:08:08] Yeah, he's kind of assumed to be the head of Team Plasma now that they have disbanded after the plot of PW1, all the Sages have basically retired except for Zinzalon.

[08:08:20] For some reason he's willing to stick around for round 2 Electric Boogaloo so...

[08:08:24] Sure sure sure willing to stick around for round two electric boogaloo.

[08:08:27] The plan here is just a rock slide. Friar Goodall has

[08:08:29] laughably low defense, so it'll

[08:08:31] always die at a rock slide. And then we're

[08:08:33] just kind of hoping that Samurott is in any way helpful whatsoever.

[08:08:37] It often can go for Ankh-Vor, which is absolutely useless.

[08:08:40] Aqua Tail? There it is! Let's go!

[08:08:43] I don't think it has Aqua Tail yet but it will go for Ankh-Vor.

[08:08:47] Yeah, it'll Aqua Jet here now because it'll actually see the kill on Golem

[08:08:49] before it wasn't to kill.

[08:08:53] I mean otherwise this fight's pretty easy

[08:08:55] if we have any donations.

[08:08:57] We absolutely do.

[08:08:59] We have $25 from Swift Red Box.

[08:09:02] Says good luck TTS.

[08:09:04] Loving the amazing runs this year.

[08:09:05] You're all making such a difference.

[08:09:07] We're so close to $750,000!

[08:09:12] And it's true we are right on that cusp.

[08:09:14] We were also almost at 30,000 out of

[08:09:16] that 40,000 to fight Cynthia.

[08:09:19] We're getting there!

[08:09:21] We need help.

[08:09:22] We only have a little over an hour before the end of this run.

[08:09:25] Oh and half-push?

[08:09:27] The sooner we hit it,

[08:09:28] The uh-the sooner TTS can start preparing for the mudslap strategy.

[08:09:32] Mentally.

[08:09:33] So the sooner we get there, the better.

[08:09:34] Funny you say that, we've got $100 from Crane who says

[08:09:37] Hoping for that one mill, I to see that mudslap fight.

[08:09:44] He's going to do some more, I think.

[08:09:46] Great. We have $75 from

[08:09:48] Mustique who says, I want to say hi from France.

[08:09:51] Been following all GDQ events since 2017 and I'm finally able

[08:09:55] to do a donation. I'm finishing my studies in two weeks and I wanna say a big thanks

[08:09:59] to the crew behind GDQ, from runners to volunteers.

[08:10:02] I'm so happy to give a bit of my first wages to this wonderful event.

[08:10:06] Love for all of you, love for Pokemon, and above all, trans rights.

[08:10:16] That guy there at Village Bridge that was kind of hanging out by the fences near the car well sometimes

[08:10:18] he can just be clipped into the fence for some reason

[08:10:20] I was so hoping that he was, but he wasn't.

[08:10:23] I was hoping it was too for the content.

[08:10:25] Legendary Pokemon! You gotta catch it!

[08:10:26] You have a Master Ball!

[08:10:28] Sorry, I'm busy.

[08:10:32] So yeah, we just don't need it.

[08:10:33] Exadrill is so broken.

[08:10:35] I cannot stress how good exadilll is and you're going to see

[08:10:37] even more in this end game now where it's going to be

[08:10:39] over leveled pretty soon.

[08:10:41] Exadill will just... Man such a good Pokemon. over leveled pretty soon. Exodrill just,

[08:10:43] man,

[08:10:44] such a good Pokemon.

[08:10:46] There are still some problems in this next gym

[08:10:47] and we'll talk about it

[08:10:48] when we get there but...

[08:10:49] Yeah,

[08:10:49] it's kind of funny that

[08:10:50] um

[08:10:50] in Black White 1

[08:10:53] they kind of keep the uh the Swords of Justice.

[08:10:55] This is what they're called.

[08:10:56] Kind of like post-game, I think.

[08:10:59] But in Black White 2, they just shovel it at you.

[08:11:01] We literally see all three of them.

[08:11:04] We've seen Kabalian already, but he's on screen for

[08:11:05] like 3 seconds at most

[08:11:07] so you probably missed him

[08:11:09] But yeah, we're gonna see Tarakion

[08:11:11] at some point too because this game just

[08:11:13] really wants us to befriend them throughout our journey or whatever.

[08:11:17] And Gen 5 is like peak unsafe gyms, so I wouldn't go on this if I was a gym trainer.

[08:11:22] This isn't good for me.

[08:11:23] I would probably fall off, yeah.

[08:11:25] Can't beat anywhere with some black and White 1's Mr. Alton gym.

[08:11:28] This is true. Well Skyland has a dangerous gym in this game

[08:11:30] AND the last game. It's hilarious.

[08:11:32] Yeah, Osho would like to have a word with a couple of these

[08:11:34] gym layouts but...

[08:11:36] Anywho. Miss Fracture is most likely gonna be dance turn one and

[08:11:39] if it does it becomes a speed tie i would like to not lose the speed possible oh worse fight

[08:11:47] unfortunate but fine Oh, worst fight! Wooo!

[08:11:52] Unfortunate but fine. I'm gonna have to do a menu coming up anyway so it's not the end of the world

[08:11:55] It's just time saved to win this VTi obviously

[08:12:02] Yeah as per usual very non-dangerous fights generally but just lots of ways to lose time.

[08:12:06] And now you get to pick which direction you're going in.

[08:12:08] Why are you picking the direction you're going in? are you picking the direction you're going

[08:12:08] here

[08:12:08] so this gym is kind of laid out similar

[08:12:12] to

[08:12:12] norman's gym and gen 3 but not nearly as

[08:12:14] complex

[08:12:16] so the two options that we're given

[08:12:17] here is offense versus defense we're

[08:12:18] gonna pick offense because it's a little better

[08:12:20] to like one-shot them.

[08:12:22] Um, we are gonna be faster than this Fracture

[08:12:24] no matter what so even though

[08:12:26] we're gonna set up a Swords Dance

[08:12:28] to be able to one shotshot these. It's not like

[08:12:31] gonna punish us in any way

[08:12:33] because we're still faster and it's

[08:12:35] not going to click a move to attack us.

[08:12:37] The defense ones suck, I promise.

[08:12:39] I think they have protect or something. Yeah, they do! They suck!

[08:12:41] I have routed stuff and then

[08:12:43] I have to go fight the defense one because this one just

[08:12:45] hurts and kills everything.

[08:12:47] So...the option here was offense-defense

[08:12:49] we picked attack. On the top...

[08:12:52] That's a big one.

[08:12:54] Yeah, the next one up is actually going to be

[08:12:56] triple battle versus rotation battle.

[08:12:58] We're gonna pick triple battle because

[08:13:00] rotation as we kind of mentioned before, is significantly slower to handle.

[08:13:04] So we're just going to deal with the triple one.

[08:13:05] The triple one kind of sucks though

[08:13:06] because he's going to have an axew,

[08:13:09] a fracture and a dredigan

[08:13:10] and the dredigan is going to be in the middle

[08:13:12] mirroring

[08:13:13] Excadrill. So I'm going to be doing

[08:13:15] some menuing here to actually put Excadrill

[08:13:17] in the second slot of my party because that translates

[08:13:19] to the middle of a triple battle.

[08:13:22] I'm also going to Candy and Carbos here, because now is the

[08:13:24] most opportune time to do all that stuff.

[08:13:28] So then

[08:13:28] the plan will be to set up

[08:13:30] Swords Dance with Exu Drill turn 1

[08:13:32] and watch

[08:13:32] Exu in Fracture turn one and watch

[08:13:37] XU and Fracture take out, both put up inside.

[08:13:39] Hopefully! Sometimes they can get a little

[08:13:41] wonky and double target Excadrill for

[08:13:43] some reason and throw a whole wrench in the plan, but

[08:13:45] Injured Spik will take out literally

[08:13:47] everything on the field after Swords Dance. So that's

[08:13:49] the dream here is that

[08:13:51] at the very least

[08:13:53] Piduff takes damage and dies because i can't eq to kill that up flying type

[08:14:03] so yeah we're just gonna earthquake the world here.

[08:14:07] How about a couple donations while I rock the world?

[08:14:11] You got it! I hope I'm not stepping on Kizeran's toes

[08:14:15] but we have $12. 40 cents from jinx who just says

[08:14:21] that was good we've got 25 dollars from squirtle who says war turtles that was a

[08:14:29] figure I like that one

[08:14:32] all right yeah Jordan it's gonna

[08:14:34] prevent okay but that's the worst just with a little lower health but it's not low enough

[08:14:40] for me to be concerned yeah luckily in uh challenge mode you are stronger than you were

[08:14:44] in normal so the dragon is not arranged yeah. Yeah, it's at 75%

[08:14:49] in normal mode which actually makes it

[08:14:51] very punishing like range to miss

[08:14:53] If you miss it, you just die

[08:14:55] You usually pick Revenge and Revenge

[08:14:57] is enough to completely annihilate you.

[08:14:59] Yeah.

[08:15:00] Not all the time, I guess because it doesn't see that revenge is gonna be 120 base power

[08:15:04] It could go for like a Desert Crunch

[08:15:06] Right

[08:15:07] The possibility's there

[08:15:08] You can get lucky but it's not something you ever want to bank on having to deal with.

[08:15:12] But your HP is fine now?

[08:15:16] And now I'm straight in time which is honestly less scary than some of the gym trainers.

[08:15:20] What, you forgot to save!

[08:15:22] Oh no...

[08:15:24] There we go, shoot.

[08:15:27] Yeah, Dragon Type 01 are really powerful so this is gonna be pretty scary.

[08:15:30] They're only weak to like two

[08:15:32] types it's itself and ice types and hacksaw has like a billion attack and speed yeah actually

[08:15:38] kind of over already so we might need to just prepare the next run, honestly.

[08:15:43] Yeah, might need some donations

[08:15:45] for luck.

[08:15:46] I would love to give you a donation for luck.

[08:15:49] We have got

[08:15:50] $440 from Azulog, who says hop, hop, happy.

[08:15:58] Oh, happy.

[08:16:01] We also have a $376 from Elle for my favorite Pokemon, Metagross.

[08:16:07] The smartest metal... spider? Dog? Spider dog.

[08:16:13] Cat! This hack's actually faster no okay

[08:16:18] we also have 31.70 from poisonous puns hey tts you swalot to try playing this even faster that's 3170 for the best toxic lump 371

[08:16:30] swallow out swallow it's underrated for sure big family very uh huggable pokemon oh here's the axorus breaks the mold

[08:16:42] okay funny enough in both normal mode and challenge mode this is by far the easiest gym leader

[08:16:47] you just set up so much dance and sweep with Iron Head it's a super free fight.

[08:16:51] The only concern is making sure that you actually like pick up the necessary carbos that you

[08:16:55] need to boost your speed

[08:16:56] to outspeed the Flygon.

[08:16:58] Otherwise, it has Earth Power

[08:16:59] and will just kind of wreck your day.

[08:17:02] It doesn't actually have an answer

[08:17:03] for 4x Drill,

[08:17:04] it's just we're faster

[08:17:05] so we're fine.

[08:17:05] Yeah, right.

[08:17:07] Folks, we just passed $750,000 for Doctors Without Borders!

[08:17:14] Let's go!

[08:17:19] Alright, 250,000 to go. Let's go. All right, 250,000 to go.

[08:17:20] Let's go.

[08:17:21] Yeah.

[08:17:22] We got an hour.

[08:17:23] Let's do it.

[08:17:24] What do we have for Cynthia?

[08:17:25] We are at $30,885.

[08:17:31] And 33 cents which means that in the next hour or so we've got

[08:17:33] $9,090 to go

[08:17:35] I know that sounds like a lot

[08:17:37] but there's a lot of you out there. And every little bit helps.

[08:17:41] Oh, we'll get there no problem.

[08:17:42] Yeah, if people start donating a $5 train,

[08:17:44] you know? Might reach it!

[08:17:46] $5 for Gen 5?

[08:17:48] Yeah! Oh, I love that. Let's see it, folks.

[08:17:51] Where are my Gen 22 fans at?

[08:17:54] Where's

[08:17:55] my Gen 1924?

[08:17:57] My Petra Rutt fans in the chat.

[08:17:59] Where's my Gen 10,000 fans?

[08:18:01] So yeah this is just cut scenes now.

[08:18:04] Yeah so

[08:18:04] What's happening?

[08:18:05] We're gonna get a huge lore dump here

[08:18:07] Professor Juniper's research

[08:18:09] has led her to Drayden, who kind of knows the gist

[08:18:12] of Kirim. So even though this game has

[08:18:16] like Reshorm and Zekrom, this game is actually more focused around

[08:18:20] Kirim, which is

[08:18:22] a very powerful ice-type

[08:18:25] Pokemon that can do a lot of

[08:18:26] damage with

[08:18:28] freezing things over and stuff. Surely it's not going to cause

[08:18:30] anything in the next five minutes. No, nothing will happen.

[08:18:33] We're basically being taught about how curam is like a former shell of what it was and there's this particular item called DNA splicers that can help restore it to full under the right conditions.

[08:18:46] Right conveniently as all this is explained to us, terrorism.

[08:18:50] Whoa! It's like Final Fantasy!

[08:18:55] Very true.

[08:18:59] Nothing is going to happen here. Just flying over.

[08:19:00] Just a blimp in the sky.

[08:19:02] No big deal.

[08:19:03] Beautiful sunny day.

[08:19:05] The sun is down honestly. Beautiful sunny day. Music's great, but it's not messing at all. Look at the power of these fully 3D cutscenes in the Nintendo DS!

[08:19:11] This game released very late into the DS' lifespan so this is like the peak

[08:19:14] of graphical power we're witnessing.

[08:19:17] What was it doing?

[08:19:18] 2012 release and 2004 for console as well.

[08:19:22] That's not nice.

[08:19:25] How does this work?

[08:19:27] How is it not melt immediately?

[08:19:29] Winter in July, more crystal than ice I guess.

[08:19:34] But there's also snow or ice so...

[08:19:36] It's definitely ice now!

[08:19:37] Yeah, huh?

[08:19:39] So Team Plasma is

[08:19:41] now aware of and

[08:19:43] after the DNA splicers because we conveniently

[08:19:45] just learned about them so now they have to have conveniently just learned about them. So now they have to have conveniently

[08:19:48] just learned about them,

[08:19:49] so they're going to do anything that

[08:19:51] they can to get a hold of them.

[08:19:52] They know the Drayton actually has them

[08:19:54] so they are basically going to hold

[08:19:56] the city hostage by laying it in ice and demanding

[08:20:00] that um, they hand over the DNA splicers and team plasma so that

[08:20:06] They can continue about their nice stuff.

[08:20:09] Because in this game they kind of got rid of the charade

[08:20:11] of freeing Pokemon to liberate them

[08:20:14] and get rid of the Pokeball,

[08:20:17] all that kinda stuff.

[08:20:18] Now it's just straight up like we want control of the Pokeball and all that kind of stuff. They're just now straight up like, we want

[08:20:20] control of the world.

[08:20:24] Now it's everyone's favorite part of Pokemon Ice Puzzles.

[08:20:26] Yeah, so this city

[08:20:27] and actually the two routes east and west actually turn into a little bit of slide puzzles.

[08:20:31] You won't see the slide puzzles on the routes

[08:20:32] but this whole city kind of comes

[08:20:35] into a whole ice puzzle thing that we have to slide around.

[08:20:38] First to progress in the story

[08:20:39] we have to fight three Plasma Grunts and then

[08:20:41] Zinzalon will appear in front of the gym.

[08:20:43] Once you kick his butt and do one more

[08:20:45] thing with

[08:20:47] Shadow Triads, then we can go off towards

[08:20:49] the 8th Gym. We've a little bit of time for donations

[08:20:52] here if you'd like to read a couple i would love to we have 206 dollars from dan who says

[08:20:57] if dunsparce has a million fans i am one of them if dunsparce

[08:21:02] has 10 fans i am one of them if dunspurs only has

[08:21:06] one fan that is me if dunsmars has no fans

[08:21:10] that means i am no more on the earth if the world is against the dunsparce i am

[08:21:15] against the world fun fact i actually did a run of dunsmart's alt? I like it, it looked okay

[08:21:24] It wasn't really that good

[08:21:26] I've expected

[08:21:27] Wow, I'm so surprised

[08:21:29] We also have a hundred

[08:21:32] dollars from Caron who says, I'm donating $100 from Carant, who says,

[08:21:35] I'm donating $100 to fight Cynthia because

[08:21:37] I innocently fought her on my white playthrough

[08:21:39] having no idea who she was. It was

[08:21:41] my first completed Pokemon game at the ripe old age of 34

[08:21:43] no less.

[08:21:44] She let me think I was beating her first Pokemon then healed up

[08:21:47] and crushed me into dust. Avenge me TGS!

[08:21:50] Avenge me! I'll do my best!

[08:21:56] Leveling it through quick, how much does Weavile Ice Shark do?

[08:21:58] You have to heal before this next trainer.

[08:22:00] Oh okay.

[08:22:07] We have $28 for Mad Riddler! Here's a Pokemon

[08:22:09] hot take! The starter Pokemon shouldn't

[08:22:11] be Fire Grass Water. Why not something new

[08:22:13] like Fighting Psychic Dark? Thoughts?

[08:22:15] Yeah? That'd be interesting.

[08:22:18] Yeah, what

[08:22:19] starter types do you want to see?

[08:22:21] I think one of the triangles you can do is

[08:22:23] flying rock fighting.

[08:22:26] Ooh.

[08:22:28] Yeah. Well we did like, uh...

[08:22:30] Exegrel, exegrel, exegrel

[08:22:34] Speed ties galore

[08:22:36] Yes Speed ties galore. Yes.

[08:22:42] And I know we saw them just a minute ago,

[08:22:45] $6 and 15 cents from Gadroch who says,

[08:22:48] I heard we were discussing overlooked Pokemon 615 for the cute little Cryogonal.

[08:22:51] Did you know it used to be able to learn Attract but it would always fail?

[08:22:54] Let's give Cryo-

[08:22:57] Cryogonal some love.

[08:22:59] I know, it's a mouthful.

[08:23:02] Yeah halfway through I forgot how to say it.

[08:23:06] That's how underappreciated it is.

[08:23:09] Ugh, I'm part of the problem.

[08:23:13] We're almost done, two more fights? Yeah, two more fights.

[08:23:18] We're gonna fight Zunzalon again.

[08:23:20] Past Krag and Ulz, we're just going to destroy them.

[08:23:23] Oh, I feel bad now! Nooo...

[08:23:27] You should let him win.

[08:23:30] But I gotta go fast!

[08:23:32] We need to speedrun.

[08:23:33] We do have to speedrun, we do have to keep the marathon moving.

[08:23:37] I'm so sorry for the Ford donor.

[08:23:39] Noooo... It does have kind of a cute face when you look at it with those. Don't worry about the donor. Crab them all, no!

[08:23:44] It does have kind of a cute face when you look at it though.

[08:23:46] What?

[08:23:48] No I see it.

[08:23:50] Oh there's another one.

[08:23:52] Yeah, do you see like the eyes where it's blinking and stuff? Yeah.

[08:23:52] It's like a robot face.

[08:23:53] Yeah.

[08:23:54] And it's always frowning, which is so sad.

[08:23:59] We do more of this.

[08:24:00] Time for going in there.

[08:24:04] $50 from Flying Penguins!

[08:24:06] My two-year old daughter demanded

[08:24:08] to wear my Pikachu socks

[08:24:10] today, so here's $50

[08:24:12] for 2 Pikachus.

[08:24:15] $58 from Balamb Soldier, adding to the annual Pokedex entry

[08:24:19] for the sweetest of boys, Growlithe!

[08:24:22] He's just a cute little guy. Less than three. Big fan, big fan.

[08:24:25] Love Growlithe.

[08:24:29] We've got $25.40 from Meteor Bower

[08:24:33] for my favorite Pokemon, number 254

[08:24:36] Sceptile! Good luck on the run and

[08:24:38] Trans Rites!

[08:24:40] That is a great choice too

[08:24:42] for a Pokemon. Very underrated

[08:24:44] Hoenn starter IMO. Oh, what are these guys?

[08:24:47] Yeah so Drayden went into the gym to get

[08:24:51] the DNA splicers in his infinite wisdom while people were actually looking for him

[08:24:55] He also- A lot of fake also... Yeah, he just shows up

[08:24:57] so quickly after he leaves.

[08:24:59] It's like it's...

[08:24:59] He had it right at the front door

[08:25:01] in case of emergency

[08:25:02] break glass

[08:25:03] and they're just

[08:25:03] like right there.

[08:25:05] So the Shadow Triad

[08:25:06] have our just insanely agile ninjas that just fly around and stuff, so they immediately swipe it from Drayden's hands as soon as he gives them to us.

[08:25:16] So now we're kind of on a chase try to get them back.

[08:25:20] Spoiler alert, we don't but yeah so that makes it um

[08:25:26] a little awkward that now we've given

[08:25:28] Team Plasma exactly what they're

[08:25:30] looking for in order to try to

[08:25:32] cause world domination.

[08:25:34] Yeah, surely we won't have to try to stop them soon.

[08:25:37] Surely!

[08:25:38] Oh wait, we just finished the seventh gym leader in a pokemon game

[08:25:41] oh that's exactly what we're gonna do right now yeah i know we just fought an abseil

[08:25:47] i've heard some people say that it sounds like ooo.

[08:25:50] Oooo? Like a cry? Yeah.

[08:25:52] I wasn't listening, dangit.

[08:25:53] Well now you'll get another chance!

[08:25:55] You will get another chance. Perfect, perfect.

[08:25:57] Let us know what you think in your donations.

[08:25:59] Speaking of which can I drop one donation real quick?

[08:26:01] Yes. We have

[08:26:02] $1,490

[08:26:06] from Bluejay

[08:26:07] donating

[08:26:09] for my favorite Pokemon, Dragonite x10.

[08:26:13] Cynthia here we come!

[08:26:15] Thank you Bluejay.

[08:26:20] Time for another one? Yeah, go for it.

[08:26:22] $78 from Lydia.

[08:26:24] This may be unicorn-y but it's time to stop horsing around and get ready

[08:26:28] for Cynthia.

[08:26:29] This is $78 for the best pony and my favorite Pokemon, Rapidash.

[08:26:34] How are we doing on that incentive?

[08:26:35] We are at

[08:26:37] $33,257.

[08:26:41] So we need

[08:26:42] 6,700 more before the end of this run.

[08:26:47] Why don't we just fight Cynthia now?

[08:26:50] We don't have enough money. Just keep going.

[08:26:52] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[08:26:53] We're not ready yet.

[08:26:54] We'll get smoked.

[08:26:56] So now Team Plasma,

[08:26:58] Now that they have what they want

[08:27:00] They kind of bailed to the northeast end corner

[08:27:02] Of the region so we are hunting them down

[08:27:04] Now and going back to

[08:27:04] kind of new territory yeah um this is marine tube which has one

[08:27:07] of the sickest things. Well it takes a second to build up

[08:27:11] Yeah just trust me. Can I leave when the best price starts?

[08:27:20] Can I drop a donation on you? Yeah, go for it. $113 from

[08:27:24] Shenanigans! Hello GDQ, send here with $113 from shenanigans

[08:27:32] Hello, GDQ. Shen here with the 113 purple sweets that cold ate during the old-school runescape run

[08:27:35] Also TTS mom said you can totally come over tonight

[08:27:37] My house is just to the left of the Pokemon Center in Umbilatown, can't miss it!

[08:27:41] You could go there right now? I'll be right over.

[08:27:45] Also $25 from Gary who says Gen 25 easily going to be the best gen.

[08:27:51] That's right.

[08:27:52] That is where the Gen 5 remakes will finally come out.

[08:27:54] All right, gym leader time.

[08:27:55] Very exciting.

[08:27:56] Yeah, so this gym is a little interesting.

[08:28:00] So Marlin actually has a team order mix up here.

[08:28:04] In normal mode he leads with Karakasta which usually isn't a big deal

[08:28:07] but in challenge mode he leads with Wailord

[08:28:09] Which is a much bigger deal

[08:28:11] So Wailord has one or two moves that it'll click and leave the clip brain dance

[08:28:15] which is beneficial for us because we can take care of

[08:28:19] We learn two no problem uh the other move it has is scald

[08:28:23] because that's um okay oh that's fine uh because that's um clay or not

[08:28:28] clay who am i who am I fighting right now?

[08:28:30] Marlin.

[08:28:31] Fighting Marlin.

[08:28:32] Marlin's signature move is Scald and Scald is a really bad move.

[08:28:35] It's going to do over half our health because we melt to water.

[08:28:38] Yeah.

[08:28:39] Water is not a good type

[08:28:41] to go against so i guess what it's 30 percent

[08:28:45] yeah 30 to burn on top of that and burn is just really bad

[08:28:49] so the the cope here is that uh i never see scold and i either just flinch or waylord

[08:28:55] in caracosta like pick something else and i do not see it exactly if you can't see

[08:29:00] it then it doesn't happen right?

[08:29:02] I don't know if we've explained burn too much but

[08:29:06] It's a status that literally halves your physical attack

[08:29:09] And because we are a physical attacker

[08:29:11] It really sucks!

[08:29:12] I don't like it. Yeah, so we might be doing some dying in this

[08:29:15] fight. Unfortunately there's no full restore available to us here. Well,

[08:29:19] there is one but you have to go around the town and then go back.

[08:29:25] It's just not worth it.

[08:29:26] Yeah, a detour that is never worth it.

[08:29:28] And then you unlock horror stories after beating the gym because why not?

[08:29:32] So normally what most people do

[08:29:34] is just eat a death

[08:29:35] on that fight

[08:29:36] because it's kind of

[08:29:38] almost expected

[08:29:38] with how much

[08:29:40] it stacks against you.

[08:29:41] We are looking

[08:29:42] to get rid of

[08:29:42] Pitub at some point

[08:29:44] here before we kind of start the last plasma sequence in Giant Chasm.

[08:29:48] So it's not the end-of-the-world if we have to sack Pidub at any point, but we'd like to be as optimal as possible so that just kinda depends depends on the situation what happens yeah reason being

[08:29:56] there's a double battle and you don't want to have involved yes because earthquake doesn't

[08:30:00] synergize well with it right i know just getting a ton of levels which

[08:30:03] not good yeah levels despite how fast the battles are in Gen 5, um,

[08:30:07] The like actually leveling up part is like

[08:30:09] the slowest part by far.

[08:30:11] It's so bad because you have

[08:30:13] the level up zoom in on the Pokemon

[08:30:15] and then it's like leveled up.

[08:30:16] And if you have multiple of those

[08:30:18] that does it multiple times,

[08:30:19] It is very slow.

[08:30:20] It's also like Level 2

[08:30:21] and everything else right now

[08:30:22] is like Level 50

[08:30:24] So we'd be sitting there for a solid 3 minutes

[08:30:28] The EXP scaling would also give it like just help me catch up even faster all right so here's where lord praying for rain dance or

[08:30:34] flinch here scald is bad um yeah just flinch that's that's all it

[08:30:39] is in this game it's just like

[08:30:42] oh my god that is not great okay no burns i can kill it um the, that's fine. I can kill it.

[08:30:48] The next one coming out is Paracosta.

[08:30:50] I'm praying that it uses Shell Smash but there's no reason for it.

[08:30:53] It should Scald.

[08:30:54] It's gonna Scald yeah.

[08:30:55] So I'm just going to end up Scalding.

[08:30:58] Flinch is the only way out here which game

[08:31:06] or a crit okay that's actually not helpful.

[08:31:13] Alright. No luck going so far. That counts as a death by the way.

[08:31:15] My cat! What?

[08:31:19] Even though it's basically planned, but...

[08:31:21] I wanna talk to my refs about what counts as a death.

[08:31:25] Pidumb dying also counts as a death so...

[08:31:27] So does the deaths on Charles

[08:31:29] count as deaths?

[08:31:31] Oh, true. All the triple battle deaths? Yeah!

[08:31:33] Okay, okay. Maybe we're getting a little too late.

[08:31:37] I feel like the debt collectors have just started knocking at my door.

[08:31:40] Wait what about in 3 it's Jim?!

[08:31:43] Or Coble because yeah, Charles... just started talking about my greatest gym i'll be good No big deal. I'll do it. Yeah, and Jellicent there's two paths you can do.

[08:31:56] You can either flinch with Iron Head or you can go for a six in 16 ring- oh three in 16

[08:32:00] ring sorry.

[08:32:01] We're cool around here

[08:32:06] it's fine to go for because it has a citrus berry

[08:32:10] oh wait that cost me money crap i shouldn't have done that

[08:32:15] i mean no i did it for the charity oh exactly oh this is like get it back up

[08:32:20] because you can sign us okay okay It does come in pairs.

[08:32:25] Yeah.

[08:32:26] It's kinda messed up.

[08:32:27] So this is an outfit where you just lose a lot of time even though you win it and

[08:32:30] it's like a safe fight technically.

[08:32:31] It sucks.

[08:32:32] Yeah, it's not usually usually always winnable fight

[08:32:35] But it's just very unfortunate when you're in an awkward situation with skull there

[08:32:38] Basically just depends on what Wailord does. If you miss rock slide and manting then you can actually like just wipe

[08:32:44] but it didn't happen.

[08:32:46] That's the only really scary thing.

[08:32:49] We got all eight badges! Surely we're near

[08:32:50] the end of the game, right? Yeah, that's it.

[08:32:53] You're like an hour

[08:32:54] underestimate, dude.

[08:32:59] You gotta beat the e4 and then you're done yeah that'll be like 15 minutes right yeah surely nothing bad will happen

[08:33:05] surely we won't get sidetracked for 45 minutes i'm getting the dna splicers no big deal

[08:33:10] uh they won't do anything evil with it goodbye yeah he's got a really funny like

[08:33:15] so he exits from the back, but...

[08:33:18] Yeah.

[08:33:19] But just wait.

[08:33:20] He's a fast swimmer.

[08:33:22] Olympic swimmer out here?

[08:33:23] Olympic swimmer.

[08:33:25] Wait.

[08:33:28] He is like sprinting right now yeah

[08:33:34] it's you waiting still there oh hey i thought you went the other way what it's also really funny um this

[08:33:43] conversation with marlon is like hey have you seen team plasma and he's like who the heck is

[08:33:47] team plasmo he's like whatever my problem yeah he's like the water I've done my problem. Yeah he was like the water...

[08:33:51] Everyone in the water is my friend are you sure that

[08:33:53] Team Plasma is bad and all this stuff?

[08:33:57] For how much lore they put into Black White 1

[08:33:59] making the gym leaders involved in stopping team plasma it's such like a weird

[08:34:02] contrast to just see marlon be absolutely i gotta revise

[08:34:06] side up but it's just a weird contrast seeing how absolutely clueless he is

[08:34:09] about what's going on with Team Plasma stuff.

[08:34:12] But anywho, we're gonna revive Psyduck there because we do need Psyduck alive to

[08:34:16] actually have a double play out as a double otherwise we are gonna get two single fights

[08:34:20] back-to-back so... We're gonna're gonna revive side up there. We're going

[08:34:23] to be doing something that's actually really new to White 2 mainboard categories

[08:34:29] it's called Trainer Skip and there's a very equivalent in Black White 1 known as Plasma Skip.

[08:34:35] But basically what's going to be happening is we're going to be manipulating Phenomenon

[08:34:39] to effectively skip two trainers' field of vision.

[08:34:44] So the catch here is that with like,

[08:34:46] the shaking grass and rippling water

[08:34:48] and all that stuff,

[08:34:49] trainers can't actually see through it

[08:34:51] so if we put one between us

[08:34:52] and a trainer

[08:34:53] we can effectively skip them and not

[08:34:54] have to worry about battling them.

[08:34:56] It only really is useful for these two trainers

[08:34:59] here because they're the only ones that

[08:35:01] have tiles of phenomenon that could happen.

[08:35:04] And we're not even there yet.

[08:35:06] Unfortunately, this is going to cost me money but...

[08:35:08] Yeah I also want to make note

[08:35:10] that this has not been seen before at a GDQ

[08:35:13] I mean I ran Black and White 1 back in 2021 with Pulse

[08:35:17] and White 2 was run way farther back than that. We knew of the phenomenon

[08:35:23] back then but it was just too hard to find it.

[08:35:26] Now it's a lot easier so this is really cool.

[08:35:28] Yeah TTS is the only one who does

[08:35:30] this so far in either any% or challenge mode.

[08:35:34] On the English boards at least there

[08:35:36] is one Japanese runner who has done trainer skipping.

[08:35:38] There's obviously a pretty big risk with going for this.

[08:35:44] It doesn't save you a tremendous amount of time but it is pretty good if you get it because yeah

[08:35:48] obviously you're skipping trainers but you're doing this whole saving quick thing which also

[08:35:50] eats up a good amount of time yeah so i would like quiet and please stay quiet until my couch

[08:35:54] says you guys can clap which will be after the second phenomenon and the second trainer skipped so just

[08:35:59] quiet mode for right now please I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, but I'll try.

[08:36:15] This is a a good idea.

[08:36:26] And now we're back at the start of the game!.

[08:36:37] That is how you do it.

[08:36:41] It's really cool.

[08:36:43] This strat saves about 20 seconds if it goes well.

[08:36:47] There are still some after effects because you skip these trainers and lose like,

[08:36:53] Some experience. And some of the fights become a little more difficult but ya know...

[08:36:57] Yeah couple rangers becomes slightly worse but just get the ranger and it's not a problem right?

[08:37:01] Yeah.

[08:37:03] You might have missed the range anyway before so

[08:37:07] It's not like making a range that wasn't arranged into a range, it's just making some ranges slightly worse

[08:37:11] Right, and its by 1 in 16.

[08:37:12] So that's how much, Tucker?

[08:37:15] Oh 6.25%.

[08:37:16] OK I don't know what you're talking about.

[08:37:19] You got to make sure your mind is still sharp back there.

[08:37:22] Yes yes. I can rattle off all 16 if you want but

[08:37:24] you know...

[08:37:26] Alright, I guess we get

[08:37:28] victory donations for that too?

[08:37:30] You've got it! We have $310

[08:37:32] from Syflux.

[08:37:34] Long time watcher, but first time catching GDQ live and able to donate!

[08:37:38] Unfortunately I'm at work and can't watch the Pokemon run

[08:37:41] But here's to giving hope one doctor at a time

[08:37:44] Let's start by sending Cynthia's Pokemon

[08:37:45] to Nurse Joy.

[08:37:47] I like your thinking!

[08:37:49] And we are down

[08:37:51] to just about $5,000

[08:37:53] away from that goal.

[08:37:56] So we're getting real close.

[08:37:58] Let's keep that momentum going Twitch chat.

[08:37:59] We can crush it.

[08:38:00] I know for sure.

[08:38:03] We have $83 from Rustclad King for my favorite samurai duck Farfetched proof that birds are real and have swords

[08:38:11] all right so this is frigate two because it's the second time we've been on the frigate

[08:38:15] um here we're basically just going to

[08:38:17] rock the boat for a while until we get kicked off.

[08:38:19] That's kind of a trend for some reason. They just

[08:38:21] let us hang around for a while. I forgot the max

[08:38:23] speed there but that's not a huge issue.

[08:38:25] I just have extra earthquake now.

[08:38:30] But the whole stick here is that we're gonna have to figure out what the password is there's like a whole puzzle they're basically like

[08:38:36] the worst trained in cybersecurity team I've ever seen.

[08:38:41] Because we can just walk around and they tell us how to do everything, it's so great.

[08:38:48] What is my password? great.

[08:38:49] What's my password?

[08:38:51] I don't know,

[08:38:52] you never told me.

[08:38:55] I'm getting stage fright.

[08:38:57] Really?

[08:39:01] Maybe it's Reshiram.

[08:39:02] Hold on, hold on.

[08:39:03] I can help you here.

[08:39:03] No.

[08:39:06] So it's one of five things... It's 2202.

[08:39:06] There's one of five things that it can be.

[08:39:08] It can be 2202- 7707, 9909

[08:39:11] the words Reshram or the word Zekrom so obviously the number passwords are

[08:39:16] the fastest because they're really short only four digits long

[08:39:19] and the number ones are really long because um obviously you have

[08:39:24] to punch in way more text and also because the default keyboard is like a b c d e f

[08:39:29] you can switch to a 40 keyboard along the bottom if you want,

[08:39:32] so it's much faster.

[08:39:33] But ideally,

[08:39:34] you just have a password that has a better password than fresharmers.com.

[08:39:40] I don't have an earthquake.

[08:39:41] That is actually a problem

[08:39:42] I'm just gonna Ironhead

[08:39:45] Baratheon

[08:39:45] Did you just say the numbered passwords are really long?

[08:39:48] I might've missed something

[08:39:50] You heard it here first, folks.

[08:39:53] The numbered passwords are really long and you don't want them.

[08:39:56] Let's get some Regeram and Zekrom passwords out there.

[08:39:59] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[08:40:01] Samurott dying is like whatever

[08:40:06] hello and president nice to meet you this is new knowledge

[08:40:13] just gonna iron head trap yrapadour because I know I can kill it.

[08:40:17] And then hopefully Unfezant does literally anything.

[08:40:19] Surely we'll pick an attacking move here.

[08:40:21] Oh, not that one though!

[08:40:23] That is not the one you want.

[08:40:25] But that is a two turn move.

[08:40:27] Alright well we have the max ether now

[08:40:29] We can use that

[08:40:31] Actually my iron heads are kinda screwed from that

[08:40:35] I'm tempted to just take the bed heel.

[08:40:37] Oh yeah you can do that.

[08:40:39] It's probably fine then, yeah?

[08:40:41] Actually no, that's a terrible idea because the pit-up is dead.

[08:40:43] I should not do that.

[08:40:44] Oh my gosh.

[08:40:45] I am sorry. I'm sorry.

[08:40:47] Yeah it means you gotta donate more money if that happens.

[08:40:49] True!

[08:40:50] Yeah... yeah.

[08:40:52] Oh I think that uh Samurai Death counts by the way.

[08:40:55] What?! It's not even mine!

[08:40:56] It's not even mine!

[08:40:57] No! It's not even mine!

[08:40:58] It was under your watch.

[08:40:59] At 830, it wouldn't have happened.

[08:41:02] I still probably would've killed it.

[08:41:04] That would've been

[08:41:05] your fault then

[08:41:05] which I guess is worse.

[08:41:07] Can we do like a half That would have been your fault then, which I guess is worse.

[08:41:10] Can we do like a half? You can put a half.

[08:41:12] Like half a tally?

[08:41:16] Yeah, I'm gonna add a few tallies when you're out looking so...

[08:41:20] There we go! Half-tallie.

[08:41:23] Tucker, I'm trusting you to keep those two honest back there on the counts.

[08:41:28] Looks good to me.

[08:41:28] I don't know.

[08:41:34] We're getting information by just battling these trainers.

[08:41:36] Again, we do just know the password, but we can't put it in yet.

[08:41:37] Yeah.

[08:41:39] So this one gives us the key card and just says figure out the password by yourself.

[08:41:41] There's a bunch of others that you would fight to

[08:41:42] like actually get clues.

[08:41:44] It's supposed to be like a

[08:41:46] whole puzzle thing.

[08:41:48] I didn't mention it before but

[08:41:51] how do you know your password is actually

[08:41:53] based off of your trainer ID

[08:41:55] so when you're routing your TPG minutes at the beginning

[08:41:57] You always have to keep an eye on your trainer ID

[08:41:59] to make sure that's a password that you're acceptable using

[08:42:02] so mine just happens to be the most optimal 2202 is the best and 9909

[08:42:05] is the worst of the number passwords because um zero and two are like right

[08:42:09] next to each other so it's really easy to punch them in.

[08:42:13] Another clutch thing about Gen 5 is that as a lefty, like menuing is so free for me because

[08:42:20] I get access to all of the ABXxy which do a lot of functions for navigating

[08:42:24] the bag and stuff it's just you know left hands just have it built different here yeah

[08:42:28] because sometimes you want to be able to like mash do touch screen menus, but right handed players they just

[08:42:36] kind of have no ergonomic way to do that.

[08:42:39] I was born for this game.

[08:42:41] Yeah left-handed...

[08:42:42] I didn't know you were left handed.

[08:42:43] I am.

[08:42:45] You've been staring at my DS for like two hours.

[08:42:47] No, I've been staring at your screen for two hours.

[08:42:49] Oh, this is fair.

[08:42:51] I can't see anything on that DS.

[08:42:53] I don't even anything on that DX.

[08:42:59] Anyway, so this is another true double with Hugh.

[08:43:03] Hugh has Aqua Tail now and he'll actually be inclined to use it

[08:43:05] The only problem is that Aqua Tail is like 85 accurate?

[08:43:07] 890 accurate, which means

[08:43:08] its zero accurate because its Hugh

[08:43:10] and Hugh is just not a helpful partner whatsoever.

[08:43:14] Yep.

[08:43:15] So the dream here is

[08:43:16] that he lands both his Aqua Tails,

[08:43:18] and then I will Earthquake the last two

[08:43:20] to kind of clean things up?

[08:43:23] I'm gonna say

[08:43:24] before I hand it back over to the host.

[08:43:27] If you're worried about your account, you can always just PC heal on your way back?

[08:43:32] Uh...I could.

[08:43:34] I think I'm okay because I'll have the elixir and I think the elixir will carry me.

[08:43:37] Okay, you're good for donations?

[08:43:41] Fantastic! We've got $25 from Bulbasaur who says

[08:43:45] Buh buh buh buh buh sir! who says we also have a hundred dollars from Sterner sterner stock voltorb is number 100 but consider this 100 bubble swimmers

[08:44:05] yeah cts was kind of low on Iron Heads now.

[08:44:08] I think with the extra EQs that I have though, I should be okay.

[08:44:11] I'm just gonna prioritize using EQ more later.

[08:44:16] And if I need to, I have Rock Slide in a pinch normally you want five iron heads two eqs

[08:44:23] like one of each of them that's not my fault that's another half though.

[08:44:33] I guess. That's a full tally, I guess.

[08:44:34] I guess.

[08:44:39] Oh hi Simisave.

[08:44:41] You got a full one? You should kill that too!

[08:44:43] No!

[08:44:47] Get the rockslide there, get the bug

[08:44:52] Save some TP side there because the bug. Yeah, I pretty nice say some EP either killed

[08:44:54] Samara before no camera wasn't

[08:44:56] missing Aqua tail because of course it did

[08:44:58] yeah, so normally like

[08:45:00] we like ends cleanly right?

[08:45:02] Yeah. Usually you get Spolipede and Weavile at the same time

[08:45:04] And then just Q and everyone dies

[08:45:06] Although weaviles like a 14-16 I think

[08:45:08] You just never bank on that happening

[08:45:12] So anyway, Q and Zunzalalon are going to go back and forth about Purloins, DNA splicers, naughty stuff.

[08:45:18] How about some donations while we watch Team Plasma snap all their backs collectively as they shoot out of the sky.

[08:45:25] Absolutely, we have $25 from OmegaMurr who simply says fight her and we are 4214 Fight her.

[08:45:39] And we are $4,214 away from that fight Cynthia goal. We're so close!

[08:45:43] Five dollars from Hivemind who says, I just love GDQ.

[08:45:46] I get it, Hivemind, I do too.

[08:45:49] $26 from Graheim, always have to donate for my favorite Pokemon Ra Raichu, during any Pokemon run.

[08:45:58] We also have

[08:46:00] $25 from Symphonic Guy.

[08:46:03] We cannot let a

[08:46:04] Pokemon White 2 speedrun go by without being terrified by those piano notes on Cynthia's theme.

[08:46:09] Let's reach that goal!

[08:46:10] P.S., Absol's cry does sound like owo.

[08:46:14] Oww...

[08:46:15] Hello.

[08:46:17] I saw we're almost at 36,000 for the Cynthia right?

[08:46:21] We are yes that is right we are at $35,796.19.

[08:46:29] We can get there.

[08:46:30] We can absolutely get there.

[08:46:31] I believe in you chat.

[08:46:33] We have $48.70 from A Veritable Feast who says says, Donating for my favorite Pokemon,

[08:46:38] Giratina.

[08:46:39] When a game allows you

[08:46:40] to pet a mythical winged demon bug,

[08:46:42] it's easy to fall in love with that.

[08:46:45] Is Giratina a bug though?

[08:46:47] It's kind of like centipede-y.

[08:46:49] Honorary bug, yeah.

[08:46:51] I've never thought about it like that before with the six lights.

[08:46:53] Hytrakion by Thracian.

[08:46:57] Had to be at least one in a Gen 5 run.

[08:47:00] Phenomenon, baby!

[08:47:02] Yeah, this is one of the areas where it's so likely

[08:47:05] to just like...run into the grass

[08:47:09] because it's just so narrow

[08:47:11] and you can't really get out of the way.

[08:47:13] Yeah, there is no time to react.

[08:47:15] More of this right now.

[08:47:17] Also notice how it's like one tile wide here?

[08:47:21] Nothing bad will happen I'm going to go one tile wide here.

[08:47:23] Nothing bad will happen, no? No, no, I definitely won't give up another $5.

[08:47:26] I've already given up so many at this point.

[08:47:30] You're basically paying at this point to do this run.

[08:47:32] I know!

[08:47:36] Time for a couple more? Go for it.

[08:47:40] We have $39.30 from Top Water-type Trainer,

[08:47:43] in honor of my favorite Pokémon Piplup!

[08:47:46] First in person GDQ and I'm having a blast!

[08:47:49] Let's have a totally easy time fighting Cynthia!

[08:47:52] I didn't hear

[08:47:53] that one.

[08:47:55] We gotta check the tapes.

[08:47:58] Yeah, roll the tapes back on that one.

[08:48:00] $8.45

[08:48:02] from Bookworm214, a donation for 845 Cramorant.

[08:48:06] His head is empty but his heart is full of love.

[08:48:09] His mouth is full of Ericuda and Pikachu.

[08:48:13] We have five dollars from scoodaloo who says second time donating here

[08:48:17] but i just had to donate for the second time during a pokemon run

[08:48:20] and by the way what does an electric type pokemon say when they get gassy while drinking milk?

[08:48:27] I'm Zapdos

[08:48:27] Intolerance.

[08:48:29] What?

[08:48:30] I don't know why that one really gets me.

[08:48:34] Oh my gosh.

[08:48:36] Oh my

[08:48:38] gosh.

[08:48:39] You guys are haters.

[08:48:41] I can't explain why of all the puns

[08:48:44] that one gets me so much.

[08:48:46] Oh!

[08:48:47] That's actually clutch because that gives me an Iron Head back,

[08:48:50] so that's really nice.

[08:48:53] Maybe we should be counting deaths for all those times TTS kills Pokemon.

[08:48:56] No!

[08:49:01] So yeah, we're just fighting...

[08:49:03] Can we fight Zinzalin again here?

[08:49:05] In a little bit, yes.

[08:49:06] There is going to be a double coming up

[08:49:08] that we call an ambush double because

[08:49:10] it happens right as you go through a door

[08:49:12] and the Team Plasma Grunts make like a big deal

[08:49:14] out of ambushing us.

[08:49:16] They also have like the funniest dialogue ever.

[08:49:18] I'm gonna mash a little slower so that you guys can see what they say

[08:49:23] because honestly, like the quotes live in my head rent free

[08:49:26] and I didn't even realize I quote them so often as a kid or even like today until

[08:49:30] like, I started running this game again and like oh that's where I started getting those

[08:49:34] phrases from and stuff. But anyway...

[08:49:38] I have a funny story about this place from when

[08:49:40] I was a kid. Go ahead. So in Black and White 1

[08:49:44] I had no idea Kyurem was here and when I was going through this

[08:49:48] and got to the end, I got jump scared

[08:49:50] really bad just screaming.

[08:49:53] Am I just like here?

[08:49:54] I'm just chilling out?

[08:49:56] It does its cry in the middle of the place

[08:49:58] when you get to a certain tile.

[08:50:00] And that scared the living heck out in the middle of the place when you get to a certain tile. Oh yeah, let me do that.

[08:50:01] And that scared the living heck out of me!

[08:50:03] I forgot about that, yeah...

[08:50:05] Yeah, someone's like

[08:50:07] Quai has been

[08:50:09] ambushed or something. Something really weird.

[08:50:12] Here's the fight

[08:50:12] where it was really important

[08:50:13] to have a very specific

[08:50:14] party set up here, yeah?

[08:50:16] Yeah, if I have

[08:50:16] Pit of Alive

[08:50:17] then I can't take care of it.

[08:50:18] I could burn a turn

[08:50:19] with Swords Dance

[08:50:19] and just let Scraggy

[08:50:20] and Trubbish

[08:50:21] take care of it but it's really slow to do that.

[08:50:23] And I'd still have to kill Psyduck so it's better to kill it up earlier.

[08:50:27] It's much better to use as a double battle so we're keeping the Psyduck alive. Yadda yada yadda.

[08:50:31] Yeah cause even if we had one Poke Alive

[08:50:33] it's still a required fight so we would just

[08:50:35] fight them one-on-one.

[08:50:37] So it is marking the side of.

[08:50:39] This upcoming Scrafty is

[08:50:41] one of the things that benefits from Challenge Road. It's no longer

[08:50:44] a range. Yeah, this thing has high jump kick

[08:50:46] and would absolutely demolish me at this health if

[08:50:48] it wasn't. It's a range?

[08:50:50] If it was a range in normal mode, it's not in Challenge.

[08:50:52] Without Swords Dance because

[08:50:53] yeah, a lot of But without Swords Dance, because...

[08:50:54] Oh!

[08:50:55] Yeah a lot of people do Swords Dance

[08:50:56] Yeah a lot of people Swords Dance

[08:50:57] In Normal Mode to get rid of the range

[08:50:58] Which is perfectly understandable

[08:51:01] Oh you should have learned Fissure for Cynthia

[08:51:04] You can't escape that Can I buy a bunch of X Accuracies too? I'm going to say this one a little out of order, it's a $7 donation.

[08:51:16] How about some love for the trans icon Sylveon?

[08:51:19] Also...fight me!

[08:51:22] Is that donations from Cynthia?

[08:51:25] She's throwing it down we are 3200. donations from Cynthia.

[08:51:27] She's throwing it down.

[08:51:29] We are $3,277 away from that goal. Let's get

[08:51:31] there! Yeah, let's do it.

[08:51:33] How do you like Sylveon?

[08:51:35] I like Sylveon i like sylvian okay

[08:51:36] i think it's not a complete hater of everything

[08:51:39] eevyolutions you literally called them all like awful like two seconds ago

[08:51:45] they're like if it's on Jolteon, it sucks.

[08:51:47] I think I'm being lied to.

[08:51:49] So this is the Plasma Frigate again but inside of it now.

[08:51:54] That guy can be kind of silly because there's a one one tile kind of range there to get past them but this is

[08:52:00] kind of just a puzzle section obviously tts knows how to do the puzzle so

[08:52:05] just kind of executing it just has to hit all these buttons to turn off

[08:52:07] the barrier you You just gotta

[08:52:09] be really careful with your movement here, at least make a small

[08:52:11] mistake and actually find a trainer

[08:52:13] but other than that, pretty fine

[08:52:15] I do like this area a lot, it's pretty cool

[08:52:17] It's got a good theme too.

[08:52:19] Yes.

[08:52:20] Makes me nervous.

[08:52:24] Time for donation?

[08:52:25] Go for it.

[08:52:26] $78 from Malice.

[08:52:29] Listen up!

[08:52:31] My favorite Rapidash, it's

[08:52:33] cute, lovely

[08:52:35] smart

[08:52:37] plus amazing

[08:52:39] You think so?

[08:52:40] Oh, yes!

[08:52:41] It's stunning.

[08:52:43] Kindly love it, hug it when sleeping.

[08:52:47] Warm and cuddly, spectacular, ravishing...

[08:52:53] Oops, look at the time I kept you for too long thanks for hearing me out I want you to have this I deserve a candy for that

[08:52:57] thanks for the bike voucher oh hey there's a thing.

[08:53:02] Yeah, ignoring that physical latency trying to get up on the platform

[08:53:06] there and get the elixirs.

[08:53:07] That was awesome.

[08:53:08] So Zinzalon is really easy.

[08:53:12] Ice Shard is a bit of a problem because it's priority that we've always kind of had to deal with that with, um, Lui Val at this point.

[08:53:17] I'm gonna be doing a heal for Chorus after this cause my health is kinda on the worst side so...

[08:53:22] What actually am I sitting?

[08:53:24] Oh, I'm sitting fine in terms

[08:53:26] of PP because I'm just going to...

[08:53:28] Actually, I could Rock Slide Weavile and do Chloris Elixir

[08:53:30] but that's not worth it here except

[08:53:32] for the deal. Do you have three earthquakes right now uh yeah no yes not two

[08:53:37] i can still rock slide we've always gonna take them both away because pressure you could rocks

[08:53:41] like we've allen kill it but i'm not going to do chorus elixir basically um there's a strat

[08:53:46] where you can elixir during the cloris fight instead of right before it and it gives you

[08:53:49] one extra earthquake because um your one short otherwise don't have to make it up

[08:53:53] but because i have to heal already

[08:53:55] It's just not worth doing it because

[08:53:56] I'm still likely gonna have to heal at some point anyway

[08:53:59] And doing both the heal and the elixir like outside of battle

[08:54:02] is faster than doing both in-battle so

[08:54:04] Yeah. In this case it's not even correct to like do chorus elixir right

[08:54:10] folks we've passed 37 000 out of that 40 000 goal

[08:54:13] we are so close you're doing a great job. Let's keep it up.

[08:54:17] Awesome. Did I see four fresh waters?

[08:54:22] You only get four in the run. Did I just never use a freshwater?

[08:54:26] That's funny.

[08:54:27] Apparently, I'm all out of supers though.

[08:54:29] I think you used one on the Charon that died.

[08:54:34] I think that was it.

[08:54:35] Oh yeah.

[08:54:36] What's this guy doing here?

[08:54:37] What the heck?

[08:54:38] Yeah, I thought

[08:54:38] this guy was like

[08:54:39] flying.

[08:54:40] Thought he was a good guy!

[08:54:43] Chicks.

[08:54:45] All right,

[08:54:47] so now it's time

[08:54:47] for counting with Chloris.

[08:54:49] I hope you guys have studied.

[08:54:51] Yeah.

[08:54:52] See, he's actually with Team Plasma, but his whole thing was a...

[08:54:57] I don't know.

[08:54:58] But anyway, we're into Chloris.

[08:54:58] I love this theme

[08:54:59] This theme is awesome. This theme is amazing

[08:55:02] This fight's pretty chill, there's just like

[08:55:03] sturdies annoying mostly

[08:55:05] Sturdies and air balloons keep me from one-shotting most of them

[08:55:08] Air balloons! It's usually just Iron head and earthquake and you know pray for flunches

[08:55:13] what is air balloon so air balloon prevents a pokemon that would normally be hit with a ground

[08:55:18] move from taking any damage until the balloon gets popped. So we'll use

[08:55:21] an Iron Head to pop the balloon, and that will kind of ground

[08:55:23] Kling Lang, which is who has it

[08:55:26] so he can actually PQ it and kill

[08:55:27] it off.

[08:55:30] Yeah, pretty cool item. We're getting to that late game part where we're just going to see more items on these bosses and they are going to be pretty annoying especially because we're in challenge mode.

[08:55:39] Right.

[08:55:46] Yeah, it's just these little splinters that like save you two seconds. Yeah yeah yeah.

[08:55:47] They add up through the run.

[08:55:48] For sure.

[08:55:50] So nice!

[08:55:51] My four three two one more any chorus theme enjoyers in the audience

[08:55:58] oh yeah there's the air ballooning to the sex pop-up yeah so fun fact you can, you can see the text pop up. Yeah.

[08:56:03] So fun fact, you can go into play with an air balloon like Zarua that looks

[08:56:09] like Pignite and even though it says the text on screen,

[08:56:13] Clay can't read that and we'll just keep trying to

[08:56:15] bulldoze your air ballooned zurua that looks like a fake knife and you can just 20 shot all this

[08:56:20] pokemon i may or may not know this from experience

[08:56:24] if it doesn't take like what 20 times to do pwt even

[08:56:27] like you get hair balloon without doing yeah yeah you can get it from uh

[08:56:31] yeah it's in that it seems it's in the same building where you get the iron

[08:56:33] head it's like upstairs oh

[08:56:39] i did not know that i'm learning new things every day

[08:56:44] what are some good dude learning about this game?

[08:56:46] There we go, and that's Colerest.

[08:56:48] Pretty chill, that's the big bad boss of Team Plasma sort of.

[08:56:51] We will fight another big bad boss pretty soon

[08:56:54] but we gotta go through a bunch of grunts again here also this girl runs away

[08:56:58] because he realizes you're too strong very smart that's the smartest character in pokemon history

[08:57:03] he has no pokemon also check out gets us a sick gamer style.

[08:57:07] Dude...

[08:57:08] Count the monitors!

[08:57:10] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

[08:57:15] You got fifteen monitors!

[08:57:16] Think about all of the GDQ streams and restreams that you could be watching

[08:57:19] right now. Shout out to the restreamers, by the way.

[08:57:23] Got time for a victory donation?

[08:57:25] Of course. $59.50

[08:57:27] from Arisa. My donation for the best pokemon joltik he's just a little guy

[08:57:33] a little guy that'll ruin you after you get staggered

[08:57:37] and 25 from canthia donating in solidarity as a fellow person who got jumpscared by Kyurem.

[08:57:47] $10 from Flocker 10.

[08:57:50] Snorlax is the best because they're just so real.

[08:57:54] So real for that.

[08:57:55] So real.

[08:57:56] Snorlax is so real

[08:57:57] for that.

[08:57:57] I know we got a

[08:57:58] Snorlax in there

[08:57:59] right here.

[08:57:59] I do love Snorlax, he's a good Pokemon.

[08:58:01] You know what else is a good Pokemon?

[08:58:03] My cat! Yeah!

[08:58:05] We in fact have a donation from

[08:58:07] my cat, $25

[08:58:09] for my favorite Pokemon Haunter.

[08:58:11] That's not its number, but it evolves from Ghastly at level 25.

[08:58:14] I think we should have a ghost Pokemon themed game

[08:58:16] because ghost Pokemon need love too.

[08:58:19] Absol listen.

[08:58:21] Oh my god!

[08:58:23] They just...

[08:58:25] That is amazing.

[08:58:27] It was pretty funny.

[08:58:29] How are we looking on that Cynthia?

[08:58:32] We are so close to $39,000.

[08:58:34] We're at $38,900 and 49 cents.

[08:58:38] We are closing in.

[08:58:40] Let's do that crowd.

[08:58:41] They want that Cynthia fight.

[08:58:42] We all want that Cynthia fight!

[08:58:45] She's taunting us through donations!

[08:58:48] We are now only $400 away from that goal!

[08:58:52] And TTS did say if we hit the incentive, he won't use any setup moves during this round.

[08:58:56] That's true! I heard him say that.

[08:59:00] What can I do at this point?

[08:59:02] Win.

[08:59:05] Zora with pink night!

[08:59:11] We have $250 from Danielle

[08:59:13] My cat go brrrr! Trans rights.

[08:59:19] $194

[08:59:20] from Luna Mora donating for the

[08:59:22] one true favorite whooper.

[08:59:24] Let's show Cynthia a super-whooper good time and show that champion she is no

[08:59:29] big whoop. $25 from Pikachu.

[08:59:35] Pikachu! Pika, Pikachu!

[08:59:38] Translation, this goes to the Cynthia incentive.

[08:59:40] I want to see a good clean fight.

[08:59:42] Yeah, no set of moves,

[08:59:43] no X items,

[08:59:44] no healing,

[08:59:44] no cheating.

[08:59:48] So lore update.

[08:59:50] It turns out that one of the Shadow Triad members

[08:59:53] stole a purloin from his pressure like two years ago

[08:59:55] and it just so happens to be here.

[08:59:59] That purloin is kind of hanging out at the top of the screen as uh he was and he's kind of like shooken up at his uh this quest has finally

[09:00:04] finished but i am getting punched by an Felgor with me first.

[09:00:09] Okay, anyway.

[09:00:10] That's fine.

[09:00:13] So we're coming near the end of Routine Plasma stuff.

[09:00:14] Almost.

[09:00:14] Oh! Oh! Close.

[09:00:23] Real quick, we have a $700 donation from Muriel. Best Eeveelution, Sylvian! It's very good. Understandable.

[09:00:33] It's the one... I almost called you Eevee. It's the one Swiftlight. And a $1089 donation from Ed E. Ott

[09:00:43] I couldn't choose between Salamence, Rotom or him on top

[09:00:46] So i'm just gonna donate for all of them

[09:00:50] I'm going to go for swag stairs here.

[09:00:52] Swag?

[09:00:54] I don't know what that means.

[09:00:56] Oh, I didn't get it.

[09:00:58] Those little stairs there you can

[09:01:00] You get traction on them again so you can go down

[09:01:02] with the full speed of the bike to say like a couple frames

[09:01:05] but if you miss it and you can go straight back down yeah that's a lot

[09:01:08] more time the first time i tried it and no

[09:01:10] I don't do it again. I got it in practice yesterday, or two years ago for the fun of it but...

[09:01:15] Anyway. Getsys is very annoyed with us at this point and has taken Kyurem from

[09:01:21] the ship

[09:01:23] and put it into a cave.

[09:01:24] Because I guess for some reason in this cave,

[09:01:26] its just gonna have to power

[09:01:27] to freeze the whole world or something rather.

[09:01:29] I don't know, I don't play Pokemon.

[09:01:30] I want to point out by the way

[09:01:31] that this is the only time

[09:01:33] where a character actually tries to kill you

[09:01:36] in a pokemon game that should count for the tally but you don't actually die wait oh spoiler

[09:01:44] y'all ruined it.

[09:01:45] But it is wild to see this from a Pokemon game.

[09:01:51] Fusion player!

[09:01:53] From RushRam?

[09:01:54] No, it can't be that guy.

[09:01:56] Who could it be? It can't be!

[09:01:58] It's the best theme in the game!

[09:02:00] Honestly true though.

[09:02:03] Only plays for like 5 seconds of Black and White. Yeah yeah for all 40 seconds it plays

[09:02:09] it's uh it's the little green here guy

[09:02:15] you know this character this alwaysuses me because at the end of...

[09:02:18] We just hit that incentive!

[09:02:20] We are going to be fighting Cynthia at the end of this run,

[09:02:22] thank you so much everyone,

[09:02:24] that's $40,000 for Doctors Without Borders! Thank you for doctors without borders thank you

[09:02:28] thank you guys are all amazing let's go

[09:02:32] we got a floating olive to celebrate yeah or

[09:02:36] or orb oh What is that?

[09:02:39] This looks good.

[09:02:41] This is three minutes of cut scenes

[09:02:43] I get to finally rest my hands

[09:02:45] While we're doing these

[09:02:47] cutscenes, I have a question for you TTS.

[09:02:48] Yes?

[09:02:49] You've been Gen 5's strongest soldier for several years now right?

[09:02:53] About a year and a half.

[09:02:55] Why have you been running these games as long as you can

[09:02:57] and put yourself through the misery of this category for as long as you have and put yourself through the misery of this category

[09:03:00] for as long. An unhealthy addiction? Okay.

[09:03:05] That's fair. No,

[09:03:08] I loved Gen 5 as a kid.

[09:03:11] I kind of started falling out of playing Pokemon right as Gen 6

[09:03:13] started and Gen 5 was on the way

[09:03:15] out the door. And I really liked

[09:03:16] playing White 2 as a kid, but I

[09:03:18] never got to play it as much

[09:03:19] as I wanted to. So kind of started entertaining the idea

[09:03:22] of getting into speed running pokemon i was like hey uh why not i just pick the absolute hardest

[09:03:28] one you get started in yeah and uh And, you know, a year and

[09:03:32] a half later I'm kind of the guy that everyone goes to

[09:03:34] now with minute questions so it's

[09:03:36] pretty fun to see how quickly you can

[09:03:38] progress in a run in such short

[09:03:40] time so if you've ever been, ever been scared of running a game before

[09:03:44] because it seems so intimidating,

[09:03:46] You can do it!

[09:03:47] You just gotta give yourself the time and patience

[09:03:49] to explore and try things out

[09:03:52] and ask questions and try to figure things out and ask questions

[09:03:53] and try to figure things

[09:03:54] out on your own.

[09:03:55] And most importantly,

[09:03:56] engage with the community

[09:03:57] because I was really shy

[09:03:59] to engage with the

[09:03:59] community at first

[09:03:59] but once I started

[09:04:01] to get to learn

[09:04:02] some of your faces back here,

[09:04:04] and even on the lovely couch behind me

[09:04:07] through all due support

[09:04:10] it became a lot easier

[09:04:13] to get motivated to play this game because then i can compare against a

[09:04:17] lot of the people that i uh used to watch before i got into speed running although i will admit

[09:04:22] that transition from being like like a hardcore likeurker viewer to most of you and then become on equal footing with all of you was weird as heck.

[09:04:30] Because showing up at GDQ and being like, hey...

[09:04:33] Hey, I know you now!

[09:04:34] Yeah, I followed you for four years.

[09:04:36] You have no idea who I am, but I'm starting

[09:04:38] to run the game. Yeah, I remember.

[09:04:39] I didn't know who you were and then one day

[09:04:42] I think I saw you in a chat or something or I saw you doing

[09:04:44] a run and I just checked and was like, oh, you're already run and I was just checking. Oh, you're already like top four in Black Might 1?

[09:04:47] Okay cool!

[09:04:51] That's awesome.

[09:04:53] Good lesson there.

[09:04:55] Pokemon Speedrunning is awesome is awesome community is great definitely

[09:04:56] check it out we'll talk more about where you can

[09:04:58] learn more at the end of the run but yeah definitely check it out and uh

[09:05:02] now this abomination's in front of us yeah it is funny too because like

[09:05:06] i know that you got into speedrunning

[09:05:07] Ecchi from watching this run specifically.

[09:05:11] Yeah well I got into Pokémon speed running from watching the GDQX

[09:05:13] Run of Challenge Mode, cause I was looking for a new run to learn

[09:05:16] Cause I'd just been running KH3 and I saw the

[09:05:20] run live at TwitchCon, so I thought this is cool.

[09:05:22] I'm going to try Pokemon.

[09:05:24] And then I did it for four years.

[09:05:26] Funny how that comes full circle.

[09:05:28] Yeah weird. I don't like it

[09:05:31] turbo blaze turbo blaze not just blaze it's like her like buffed up has no relation to blazing

[09:05:41] this isn't a range and challenge mode right um it's very like yeah so the kiram has random stats and if

[09:05:47] it has like absolutely cracked hp defense in a plus defense nature it can live an iron head

[09:05:52] but in challenge mode it's a very rare thing to have happen because you have

[09:05:54] a couple extra levels compared to normal mode um but it still technically can't

[09:05:59] happen i don't think i've seen anyone in challenge mode...

[09:06:01] And I never missed it, no. Yeah, I've never missed it either so...

[09:06:05] But there are also not a lot of Challenge Mode runners because of the absurdity of this category

[09:06:09] as evidenced by my tally count okay so far like the category is

[09:06:14] awful plus like you need uh some way of playing black too as well which isn't it yeah but now

[09:06:21] we're finding dennis so that's cool.

[09:06:24] Let's get the text.

[09:06:26] All right, that's good if I burned an earthquake there

[09:06:28] I would have had a bit of a problem

[09:06:29] But we are all good here.

[09:06:31] That's funny

[09:06:32] Hope you all have your Dennis chats ready.

[09:06:33] True. Also, you do get fully healed here before this fight.

[09:06:38] Tripped up on my words.

[09:06:40] So yeah super chill. If you haven't noticed by the way we're already like 10 to 15 levels higher than basically everything at this point

[09:06:47] The lucky egg is finally really kicking in here and showing what an extra 50%P boost does over the course of like

[09:06:54] an hour and a half.

[09:06:55] Yeah, we're just going to be pretty high level for the rest

[09:06:58] of this run.

[09:06:59] I guess Cynthia will be a little more normalized but even with

[09:07:03] all the extra levels doesn't mean these fights are free or safe

[09:07:05] they still can be pretty scary

[09:07:07] yeah

[09:07:07] that Electros

[09:07:09] is particularly scary

[09:07:10] because it has

[09:07:11] Flamethrower

[09:07:11] which does do like

[09:07:12] three quarters of her health

[09:07:13] because of course it does

[09:07:14] and because Flamethrower

[09:07:16] also has the chance to burn if we get burned we're in a really bad position

[09:07:18] because both pittov and syduck are dead right now so i'd have to do some shenanigans

[09:07:23] you're fully healed yeah they are, you're right. Thank you.

[09:07:28] But it still would have been an awkward process to kind of get set back up because I don't

[09:07:31] have like easy means of using Swords Dance at least without risking another burn chance so... and then he's like, I'm gonna go to the back of the tower.

[09:07:37] And that was a nice thing about

[09:07:39] sword dance at least without risking

[09:07:41] another burn chance so it's just

[09:07:43] a nightmare to miss that

[09:07:45] Electros as well trying to get out but there is Dennis Dunn which means Plasma is no more.

[09:07:54] Would you like a victory donation? Of course! We have $10.06 from FoxAct. Hello SGDQ, happy day! have ten dollars and six cents from fox act hello sgq happy to be donating for another great year

[09:08:01] these 10.6 are for the true robot trans icon iron valiant who says you can't

[09:08:07] be who you want to be, even if you're a robot

[09:08:09] brought from the future with the intent to destroy things? Trans rights!

[09:08:16] We also have $70.40 from anonymous, donating 70-40 for the coolest dragon of them all, Komo-o!

[09:08:25] Pokemon Black and White 2 are truly incredible entries that help show me the value of all the little things

[09:08:30] in games. Let's go throw mud slabs

[09:08:33] in Cynthia's face.

[09:08:34] 240,000 to go, chat. Can we get there?

[09:08:39] Alright, so Team Plasma's done.

[09:08:40] We're gonna escape rope out.

[09:08:41] It might have looked really weird when we first entered

[09:08:43] that I kind of went to this exit here

[09:08:45] but it's just the escape rope brings me a little closer

[09:08:48] because we have to leave to the left side here

[09:08:49] So if I didn't like checkpoint that before going through the whole um Oh, you just want to take my money. Help me.

[09:09:03] Oh my gosh.

[09:09:07] Hey!

[09:09:09] Actually in practice I had one spawn 1 tile above that

[09:09:11] as I went to talk to the water, so I had to say no and

[09:09:13] change where I was. This is my least favorite spinner.

[09:09:15] I hate this spinner. He's passed him twice

[09:09:17] and you have like one tile leeway.

[09:09:21] That's also

[09:09:21] like the one there with a little more right there.

[09:09:24] There's one more thing I think that was the same one.

[09:09:27] No, because I got on the water.

[09:09:29] Does anyone have it?

[09:09:31] I think it stays though.

[09:09:32] I thought I heard the water one again.

[09:09:33] Yeah we won't count it. It didn't go away when you got home. I think it stays. Not so. I thought I heard the water one again.

[09:09:34] Yeah, we won't count it.

[09:09:35] Okay.

[09:09:36] It didn't go away when you got on the water.

[09:09:37] Oh, never mind then.

[09:09:38] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[09:09:39] I just heard the effect and I thought it sounded like the one because there's

[09:09:42] a slightly different noise when it first spawns,

[09:09:44] and then it kind of has like a slightly

[09:09:46] different noise that loops endlessly.

[09:09:49] And I thought I heard the first noise.

[09:09:51] Anyway, badge check!

[09:09:53] Yeah, the spinner you pass is

[09:09:56] the annoying one is like the worst one to hit too. I'm going to go with the badger. Badge check.

[09:09:58] The spinner you pass is

[09:10:00] like, the annoying one is

[09:10:02] the worst one to hit too.

[09:10:04] It's got a Moga and Jellicent disabled moves and time lost by you.

[09:10:06] Yeah, the correct in like it

[09:10:08] like has an emoga that can't hurt

[09:10:10] you so it should like withdraw

[09:10:12] into jellison so like

[09:10:13] You should be clicking earthquake on

[09:10:15] Emoga and it's weird because of

[09:10:17] It just doesn't move bro right yeah yeah except an early operation there but you have all eight badges you did

[09:10:23] it yeah we can finally enter the Victory Road.

[09:10:27] I think that this victory road theme clears like every single other one

[09:10:33] especially the black white one with the badge build up.

[09:10:36] I like I will swear swear that is the objectively best

[09:10:38] hero team.

[09:10:41] I'm glad that one agrees with me.

[09:10:43] I like the Hoenn one better.

[09:10:45] Hoenn one? It's okay.

[09:10:46] Hoenn one's okay. It's better than

[09:10:48] Sinnoh.

[09:10:50] Nooo...

[09:10:52] I think the Gen 1 one is worse because of the generic one.

[09:10:59] Anywho this turn is pretty good. Yeah. The rest I don't really remember.

[09:11:02] Anywho, this Drifblim's gonna spam Stockpile.

[09:11:05] I've had this Drifblim go to like plus 3 defense with Stockpile

[09:11:08] and then use a move called Batten Pass

[09:11:11] to swap into Claydol And that's really bad because Claydol is super bulky defensively. And putting additional defense on top of it

[09:11:15] is horrible especially when this thing has Earth Power. That's kind of like one

[09:11:18] of those freak situations though where you have to to nest two rock slides for that to happen.

[09:11:22] But it's still one of those things that you're just like... why?

[09:11:29] Anyway, so here is the only reason we need to use strength.

[09:11:32] At least one of two reasons we need strength is for this push boulder here.

[09:11:38] This Psyduck's so strong.

[09:11:40] Yeah, Psyduck is a tank as evidenced by the death counter being half Psyduck

[09:11:49] Alright very chill spinner there. You have to be pretty precise in your movement here, it's a little bit tighter than it looks.

[09:11:53] Yeah you can only be one tile away from the tree

[09:11:57] Yeah you have to be up against those trees to not get seen

[09:12:01] Funny movement there not get seen

[09:12:08] funny movement there to get the spinner set up 100 not safe but we're just going to go for it this winner is deaf so you can

[09:12:12] run fast yeah full restore on the rock and we're gonna fight

[09:12:16] this trainer because uh the one on top spins but this one doesn't so i have to fight them

[09:12:21] and then a little tricky spinner pass after this fight.

[09:12:25] Yeah, this is the last spinner though it's just kind of unfortunate we don't really have

[09:12:28] a good setup for him because of like how its set up here

[09:12:31] It's too narrow to try and do anything crafty

[09:12:36] Yeah, Zviker Road's pretty fast overall. There's a bunch of fights

[09:12:38] but the movement sections are really, really quick

[09:12:40] between the fights.

[09:12:42] So how about

[09:12:44] a couple donations for us?

[09:12:46] You got it. We've had $25 from Jay, loving the event so far.

[09:12:51] I have been watching PDQ for years but this one feels extra special

[09:12:54] for me as its the last one before I become a dad.

[09:12:57] I can't wait to have a little buddy to watch future events with! Keep up the awesome

[09:13:01] work, let's get that Cynthia fight which we did! Thank you again."

[09:13:05] Congrats on Spitterless!

[09:13:08] Thanks. It's actually really crucial to not get extra XP in challenge mode.

[09:13:13] Too much can be a problem with the E4.

[09:13:16] This is the one scarier room, this is where true gamers show their colors.

[09:13:22] Totally fine.

[09:13:25] It's so hard.

[09:13:27] They, of course, shrink your vision in a room that has like It's so hard. It is so...

[09:13:31] They, of course, shrink your vision in a room that has the most amount of turns possible.

[09:13:34] Yeah and dust clouds too.

[09:13:37] You could just hear one and have no idea where it is, just start panicking.

[09:13:41] Yeah because how much... So like an item's fine

[09:13:42] but like an encounter in a desktop

[09:13:43] is like 20 seconds right?

[09:13:45] 12 to 15 I want to say it is

[09:13:47] Like 15-ish

[09:13:48] is usually what I just lump it to.

[09:13:50] That kind of stinks, so that's not good. You don't want that?

[09:13:52] No and only the dust clouds

[09:13:54] and like the shadows on the bridges can give us items

[09:13:57] everything else is guaranteed to be an encounter

[09:13:59] If we could getting a a like steel gem from

[09:14:02] the cloud would be actually really sick. It's possible to manip one but

[09:14:06] the time it saves versus the time it takes to manipulate just doesn't seem worth

[09:14:09] it on paper at least time that I've kind of

[09:14:12] peeked at it. Sturdy there, so

[09:14:14] we're rock sliding to try to flinch. Didn't work

[09:14:16] out. The challenge mode you are still faster

[09:14:18] after a rock slide. Yeah, that's actually really

[09:14:20] nice here because you want to have more health.

[09:14:22] We're at level 70 by the way!

[09:14:25] And we've not started the Elite Four just for clarity.

[09:14:28] It's kind of crazy how high-level you for this category with and again all the pokemon are

[09:14:34] higher level too and they're still not even close to where we're at yeah which is pretty incredible

[09:14:41] so how about a couple more donations to take us through this fight?

[09:14:45] Absolutely! We've got $25 from Katie Ghosty.

[09:14:49] $25 for my favorite underrated trans pride slug baby shellos. Pink and white or

[09:14:54] white and blue, all forms are perfect.

[09:14:57] Shell, shell, shallows!

[09:14:59] Okay, east or west form?

[09:15:01] We just said all

[09:15:02] forms are perfect. I know but like like which ones are you fitting there?

[09:15:05] They're perfect! But you gotta have a favorite.

[09:15:09] The pink and brown's so cool.

[09:15:13] Oh that's not great. Okay don't remember which one it is.

[09:15:15] Okay the pink and brown one whatever that is.

[09:15:17] Alright, flinched anyway.

[09:15:19] We also have $501 from Eric asks

[09:15:23] I've never played any of the black and white games but

[09:15:25] I did choose 501 Oshawott as my starter in my playthrough of Pokemon Legends RCS.

[09:15:30] Same!

[09:15:32] I was Cyndaquil.

[09:15:35] Oh speaking of Cyndaquil we have $25 from Podling152 joining the favorite Pokemon bandwagon.

[09:15:40] Cyndaquil's the best Pokemon by far.

[09:15:42] It's the Pokemon I care the most about and I will own it for the rest of my life.

[09:15:46] It drives my decisions in any game that has it.

[09:15:49] It alone could send Cynthia's team to Lavender Town."

[09:15:53] Alright, last rival fight here. We only fight them five times which is nice

[09:15:57] because in Black White 1 you fight your rivals like half a dozen times each.

[09:16:01] Just praying for no swagger here? Alright that's unfortunate. I have full heals to take care of it though.

[09:16:11] Otherwise, everything else is pretty easy. Everything goes down in one shot here.

[09:16:14] We're kind of coming up to the E4.

[09:16:15] The E4 is where the

[09:16:17] challenge and challenge mode really starts to ramp up again.

[09:16:20] The teams and movesets

[09:16:22] that are in

[09:16:24] E4 are absolutely cracked

[09:16:26] Um, the first one we're gonna be

[09:16:28] taking care of is Mars, just because it's...

[09:16:31] We're kind of in the best situation for the best outcomes

[09:16:35] for dealing with that fight. Basically what we're gonna be hoping for

[09:16:39] is that we flinch as much

[09:16:41] as possible because in a similar situation the clay uh

[09:16:45] marshall has speed dropping issues that you have

[09:16:49] to be careful of.

[09:16:52] Mainly with Bulldoze and Rock Tomb off of throw, so we never

[09:16:58] really get an opportunity to set up

[09:16:59] because we're going to have to swap to get our speed back and immediately after

[09:17:05] um throw is me and chow with high jump kick which absolutely annihilates us so

[09:17:09] he can't set up on me and chow either. So then third comes out Conquilder,

[09:17:13] and Conquilder is a problem because it's holding

[09:17:15] a Flame Orb and has the ability Guts

[09:17:17] which means that it deals a crap

[09:17:19] ton of damage when it's burned

[09:17:20] because Guts instead of penalizing you for being burned

[09:17:24] actually doubles your attack power or something

[09:17:26] ridiculous like that. So

[09:17:28] Conquilter just does a crap ton of damage

[09:17:30] to us. So we're really praying for the

[09:17:32] flinch here. If we don't flinch,

[09:17:34] We are praying that we did just not enough damage with Iron Head

[09:17:38] Such that Iron Head plus a tick from Burn will cause Marshall to heal

[09:17:42] Otherwise we'll lose more time

[09:17:44] This is absolutely going to be a safety save here because I can

[09:17:47] very easily get wiped here.

[09:17:49] Very scary fight.

[09:17:50] You could run through all of your 5s.

[09:17:53] This was like the scariest fight in the rest of the game.

[09:17:56] This fight is such a make it or break it fight in KPSM.

[09:18:00] I mean, I know myself, I've flinched three times in my World Record games.

[09:18:04] Your World Record run was quite a bit behind going into the E4 wasn't it?

[09:18:09] You just completely clutched it out with getting every single range and everything that could happen.

[09:18:14] Well, it wasn't perfect but you know this is what I want.

[09:18:16] TTS saying it's all luck and no skill

[09:18:21] hey i've been trying to take the record it's just been a little slow for me

[09:18:25] anyway yeah martial time

[09:18:27] as described.

[09:18:28] Very scary.

[09:18:29] A lot of sturdy.

[09:18:30] A lot of

[09:18:31] bangs for flinches.

[09:18:33] Banger theme

[09:18:33] that induces

[09:18:34] just complete anxiety.

[09:18:36] Yeah.

[09:18:36] It's so good

[09:18:37] and then the red barb thing ruins it true i know that oh

[09:18:42] that's a great oh we need to flinch with that let's go.

[09:18:49] See, no, that was skill.

[09:18:52] Okay.

[09:18:54] No luck involved needed.

[09:18:56] I don't remember if I got a crit in mines, but you know... Hey.

[09:18:59] This is looking like better luck here. Hey. Anyhow.

[09:19:00] This is looking like better luck here for TTS.

[09:19:02] Better skill?

[09:19:03] Better skill, sorry.

[09:19:05] All right.

[09:19:06] Okay no such luck that time.

[09:19:08] Yeah, that's going to be healed.

[09:19:10] That's gonna be yeah that's gonna be down that's going to be healed for sure actually

[09:19:14] so there's the flame orb that was mentioned by tts now the attack is even

[09:19:18] higher this poor dove he's going out though i already got it perfect so using those

[09:19:26] max values really clutch stone edge storm It would have been bad.

[09:19:31] Yeah, okay.

[09:19:32] Marshall's healing.

[09:19:36] Yeah, so we're going to heal here because now it is below 25% HP.

[09:19:38] Is it just Floor Restore or...? Yeah, it's a Floor Restore.

[09:19:38] Oh, that's actually cool.

[09:19:39] Yeah, it's fine.

[09:19:41] Getting rid of the burns and no more guts i mean we're getting

[09:19:43] that we're gonna get it back yeah yeah yeah well take the team right right all right so there's

[09:19:49] conqueror done so just like the gym leaders,

[09:19:52] The E4s all also get an extra poke except for the champion

[09:19:55] Because she already has a full team.

[09:19:58] Marshall's new poke is the Kario but the Kario is a joke

[09:20:01] He just EQ'ed onink guys. Yeah, steal type moment.

[09:20:04] So it's basically the same as normal mode except you're begging even more for clutches and crits so...

[09:20:11] I would really like a flinch here,icking at full HP would be really clutch actually.

[09:20:16] It's good that the gift you max revives because all these attacks do more than half.

[09:20:21] Yeah, the max revives as a gift is actually really clutch from Root and Giant Castle.

[09:20:24] They give you a lot of nice items in this run just for free,

[09:20:27] just doing the story stuff which is pretty cool.

[09:20:29] Yeah, which is nice.

[09:20:30] Which is why we don't have to do any shopping

[09:20:31] for like full restores or anything at the end.

[09:20:33] You shop at like the one-and-a half hour mark

[09:20:34] and then never

[09:20:35] yeah it's ridiculous well that's marshall

[09:20:40] yay the fear one down four to go yeah one death is not too terrible.

[09:20:46] So Grimsley's going to lead,

[09:20:49] Lippard has fake out and it's always going to click at turn one

[09:20:52] so on the fake-out turn I'm just gonna use my Max Elixir

[09:20:55] to get my PP restored and that'll take care of the rest of the run here um it also

[09:21:00] has a normal gem which will buff fake out a little bit but it's not going to be too big of a threat

[09:21:05] um it'll just start clicking night slash after fake out as well so tight great

[09:21:08] chance there i'm just need to be a little bit higher health so that um i don't have

[09:21:15] to worry too much about the last pokemon that'll come out which is uh bishop

[09:21:19] bishop has a quick claw of all things so it's just got a one in five chance to outspeed me naturally

[09:21:25] yeah this life heart becomes faster because of Unburn and its ability.

[09:21:29] Oh! That's the crit.

[09:21:30] Yeah that's the crit. This is gonna be...

[09:21:32] Okay, it's scary.

[09:21:33] Yeah I'm just going to heal on Basharp to be safe.

[09:21:35] Basharp doesn't actually do a ton of damage but

[09:21:37] Just because of the 1 in five chance to like get hit with uh yeah xd

[09:21:48] definitely definitely want to heal this.

[09:21:51] You have to heal anyway for the next fight.

[09:21:53] Yeah, it would just be nice to heal on the next fight.

[09:21:57] Depending on pace you might consider risking this but

[09:22:00] It's a rough situation to be in i don't remember

[09:22:03] exactly how much the shark does so we're gonna hear it again oh that's right yeah grmsley gets up so in challenge mode again

[09:22:15] jenna's supposed for the not giving me that knowledge

[09:22:20] all right so here's that heal.

[09:22:22] You could use your fresh waters finally.

[09:22:24] I could!

[09:22:25] Oh, good call.

[09:22:29] Yeah, keep forgetting this is the gen where high-proportional

[09:22:32] to still 200 HP.

[09:22:33] Super, super powerful.

[09:22:37] Gen 6?

[09:22:39] I know it's definitely gen 7 but...

[09:22:41] I think gen 6 is where it got nerfed.

[09:22:44] But that's two dams, so we can get victory donations.

[09:22:48] You got us!

[09:22:52] We have $149 from Don Juan, who says donating for the cutest dragon

[09:22:58] who could still destroy buildings, Dragonites.

[09:23:01] Yes. This fight is kind of slept on, quite literally.

[09:23:05] Gen 4 reference by the way because she's technically in the battle frontier

[09:23:11] in gen four and she's in this game too which is wild yeah but yeah she came into late four remember

[09:23:17] it's really cool yeah caitlyn she's sleepy so her leader's masharna masharna has hypnosis

[09:23:22] but it's also holding a um zoom lens is it that increases accuracy yeah it's holding a zoom lens, is it? That increases accuracy.

[09:23:27] Yeah.

[09:23:28] It's holding whatever the lens is that increases accuracy.

[09:23:30] Wide lens?

[09:23:31] I think that's what it is.

[09:23:32] Wide lens, yes.

[09:23:33] So yeah, so it does have a little bit higher than normal hypnosis hit accuracy yeah so kind of unfortunate here but it's

[09:23:39] okay i'm just really hoping that it clicks dream eater now instead of reflect uh well

[09:23:45] that's perfect because otherwise I would have to set up another sword stance.

[09:23:48] And then risk it for hypnosis.

[09:23:50] Right.

[09:23:51] In challenge mode, Musharna has hypnosis but in normal mode it has yawn and with yawn

[09:23:57] it is pretty much a consistent fight

[09:23:59] yeah yon is a little more consistent yeah because you just set up twice and then full resort

[09:24:06] he's so great maybe should haveed through this fight now, right?

[09:24:09] Yeah everything is a one shot now

[09:24:11] Caitlyn gets a Metagross

[09:24:13] in addition to her normal mode team

[09:24:15] It does hold life orb

[09:24:17] but we never give it a chance to attacks but we don't have

[09:24:19] to worry about that as bullet punch you could but like

[09:24:21] it just yeah it has bullet punch if you ignore healing

[09:24:24] but you need like less than like 30 hp for it to click bullet punch because

[09:24:27] you need to be below the mineral.

[09:24:32] Otherwise it'll just go for, like, Hammer Arm I think is what its most powerful move is.

[09:24:35] Did you mention why you're doing

[09:24:36] the E4 in this order?

[09:24:38] So we're doing Marshall first, because we're in a nice range where we aren't just going to throw Conkeldurr into healing right away.

[09:24:44] Because that's supposed to be a big problem.

[09:24:47] Grimsley is second, cause he's kind of a free fight and lets us use our Max Elixir to take care of everything else

[09:24:53] because otherwise we're going to run out of moves.

[09:24:55] Caitlyn is next just because it makes the most sense

[09:24:58] because the last is Chantal.

[09:25:00] Now, the reason that Chantal is last is because we're basically all the way up to this point have been making sure that Excredible gets all the experience and EVs that it needs in speed, because this chandelier is holding a Choice Scarf,

[09:25:13] which drastically improves your speed

[09:25:15] at the cost of locking you into one move.

[09:25:18] And Chandelure has Fire Blast

[09:25:20] and with the special effectiveness it'll absolutely one-shot us with it.

[09:25:26] We can't really stall because that's way too slow to do it.

[09:25:31] When we do Chantal last like this,

[09:25:33] we barely outspeed the Chandelure depending on our level.

[09:25:36] Like we outspeed it by one or two in raw speed.

[09:25:40] It's very close.

[09:25:42] Yeah, it's really cool that this gen lets you actually approach the E4 in whatever order

[09:25:45] you want.

[09:25:46] There are some cool routings there and even reroutes have happened.

[09:25:48] Blacklight 1 changed fairly recently so it's cool to see.

[09:25:51] Again?

[09:25:52] No, well...

[09:25:53] Oh!

[09:25:54] When you did it.

[09:25:55] Oh yeah, like I...

[09:25:56] That's a couple years ago, I guess.

[09:25:57] Yeah.

[09:25:58] That is a great crit because this is 11 and 16 range down from 12 and 16

[09:26:03] because I skipped two trainers after Marlon.

[09:26:05] So getting that range by

[09:26:07] guaranteeing the crit is actually really clutch.

[09:26:10] Did we mention that Chandler

[09:26:11] has a choice score? Yes.

[09:26:13] You can keep mentioning it, though,

[09:26:14] because it deserves all of the attention.

[09:26:17] Because it's easily like,

[09:26:19] the worst poke that we have to deal with.

[09:26:23] So, because we got the Koffer range

[09:26:25] We didn't have to worry about Will-O-Wisp burn

[09:26:27] or Shadow Ball

[09:26:28] or anything like that

[09:26:29] which is really sick

[09:26:30] because you can go into

[09:26:31] Iris full health

[09:26:31] without much of a problem.

[09:26:33] Uh,

[09:26:34] Iris is a bit

[09:26:35] of a tricky fight

[09:26:36] to navigate

[09:26:36] and it's not always clear what the best play is.

[09:26:39] There's basically two different ways to handle the fight.

[09:26:41] There's leading with Swords Dance just so you

[09:26:42] can one-shot everything, and then there's one where

[09:26:45] you basically just YOLO a Hydreigon

[09:26:47] range under the assumption that you just won under the assumption that you'll get it or

[09:26:50] that you'll flinch it, because it has Focus Blast

[09:26:53] or Fireblasts so don't miss one of them either because they're

[09:26:56] 70 and 85% accurate. so it's pretty common to not

[09:27:00] take damage just between

[09:27:02] all those different factors.

[09:27:04] That's what I'll go for for content because I believe we're doing

[09:27:06] really good on time. I can't...

[09:27:08] I don't have access to a timer but I I think we're doing good on time right?

[09:27:11] Yeah it says 3.55 right now

[09:27:15] Well guys, it was great being up here

[09:27:19] We can do one quick victory donation before we get into this fight.

[09:27:21] Yeah, because I'm going to do a safety save just in case the worst happens for some reason.

[09:27:30] Is there any good donations?

[09:27:32] You got it. We have

[09:27:36] $5 from ISBN girl, I want to hear some Pokemon puns

[09:27:40] so how about a $5 pun donation train?

[09:27:42] I'll start.

[09:27:43] Which Pokemon often gets lost in the wash?

[09:27:47] Sock.

[09:27:49] Oh!

[09:27:50] 10-5, Popicle. The crowd liked that one.

[09:27:54] Also, I personally think

[09:27:57] this is the best champion theme in the game.

[09:27:59] Do we have any Irish fans out back here?

[09:28:02] I don't know why from the left that's

[09:28:03] slower, but whatever.

[09:28:05] So good.

[09:28:05] I was going to say

[09:28:06] which Pokemon do I

[09:28:08] usually do in my runs?

[09:28:09] Throw.

[09:28:12] I couldn't think of

[09:28:13] a better way to phrase that in time.

[09:28:14] Anyway, Iris time.

[09:28:16] Look at that.

[09:28:16] Look how cool it is.

[09:28:17] It is crazy.

[09:28:20] That's definitely one of the best champion teams.

[09:28:23] It's way up there, so...

[09:28:25] It's such a huge step up from Black and White 1!

[09:28:27] Yeah, Malders isn't

[09:28:29] that great but

[09:28:31] anyway, Malders is still good.

[09:28:33] 5-16 range by the way.

[09:28:36] Gets these? No problem.

[09:28:40] And I get every time!

[09:28:45] Mostly chilling now until the Haxorus comes out.

[09:28:48] Yeah, so because I took no damage from Hydreigon that's really good

[09:28:51] because Haxorus does actually quite a bit of damage

[09:28:54] If i took any damage from Hydre dragon then i would have to like type around

[09:28:57] aegron because aigran isn't as threatening and

[09:29:00] usually we'll pick the move called automatize it's like a setup move

[09:29:02] so that basically gives us the free turn to heal before we deal with hacks

[09:29:06] because hax is by far the most threatening thing on this heal before we deal with hacks because

[09:29:07] hacks is by far the most threatening

[09:29:08] thing on this uh team

[09:29:14] so it'll come off right after a grunt

[09:29:15] here

[09:29:17] this one has sturdy, right?

[09:29:18] Egg rotten does not have

[09:29:19] sturdy but Hatcher's

[09:29:20] does have a focus sash

[09:29:21] so since Iris

[09:29:24] is not healed yet

[09:29:25] this is actually kind of free

[09:29:26] because I'll just earthquake

[09:29:26] to proc the focus sash

[09:29:27] it will probably pick d dance probably

[09:29:30] is the keyword here um and then iris will heal it and that'll just give me

[09:29:34] the free turn to knock it out there's a focus on track today and there's the D dance.

[09:29:42] Basically free from here at this point? Yep, yep.

[09:29:48] Alright, GG's.

[09:29:53] I just have to not misclick against Archeops.

[09:29:57] That is really hard.

[09:30:00] Yeah. That's really hard. Yeah, right?

[09:30:03] No throwing for content.

[09:30:07] Whoops!

[09:30:13] And with that we are the champions of Unova. Time's not yet!

[09:30:14] Time is coming up.

[09:30:15] Yeah time will be on the fade out after um the trainer card stuff pops up

[09:30:20] and it shows a congratulations yeah

[09:30:23] congratulations your champion so yep you're good

[09:30:27] all right i guess we can kind of start working on some shout outs here

[09:30:30] yeah shout out to the dspsr pokemon community um we are all super helpful and

[09:30:36] anyone who wants to come and join the community and start letting him speak on we have a lot of

[09:30:41] resources available we have a discord that you can join and ask about. Shout out to everyone that's kind

[09:30:47] of helped me get to the point where I am today in speedrunning

[09:30:50] That is pretty much everyone on the couch here,

[09:30:52] everyone on the back couch, everyone on the back couch,

[09:30:54] everyone in my Twitch chats,

[09:30:56] friends, family, all that fun stuff.

[09:30:59] It's been a really fun time speedrunning.

[09:31:01] I've been watching DDQ since

[09:31:02] 2015 so

[09:31:04] to go from

[09:31:05] being a long-time viewer to all of a sudden

[09:31:07] being on the couch, well not even

[09:31:09] on the couch, on stage

[09:31:11] doing the run. Yeah I'm in the hot seat

[09:31:13] doing it. That's

[09:31:14] pretty crazy seeing both sides of

[09:31:19] you know the GDQ stage.

[09:31:20] It's really humbling

[09:31:21] and an awesome experience

[09:31:22] my couch has been absolutely amazing

[09:31:24] give them a round of applause

[09:31:25] they've been giving some talk to your commentary My couch has been absolutely amazing. Give them a round of applause.

[09:31:26] They've been giving you guys some top-tier commentary.

[09:31:29] All right, time is coming up here.

[09:31:31] Time is coming up on the fadeout here once everything goes black.

[09:31:34] The world's slowest fadeout.

[09:31:36] And time!

[09:31:39] Easy mode, yes!

[09:31:41] Which is actually harder!

[09:31:45] So are you guys ready to run it back?

[09:31:48] I think I need to grab some food.

[09:31:52] Would you like to know your time? Yes please.

[09:31:56] 32458. That's not too bad.

[09:31:58] That's pretty good.

[09:31:59] We had quite a few deaths.

[09:32:00] For all the saving and deaths?

[09:32:01] Dude that's really good.

[09:32:02] Yeah we had a lot of deaths.

[09:32:03] I mean we first tried Elisa which I think saved a lot of time because

[09:32:06] that's the most taxing fight to lose time on.

[09:32:09] You guys got time

[09:32:11] to do some shoutouts? I'm sure Tech is going to need a minute

[09:32:13] here to set up stuff for Fight Cynthia, so

[09:32:54] My only plug is if you want to see more DS Pokemon speedrun stuff

[09:32:58] You can watch my Diamond Any% run that's super glitchy from AG2Q this year

[09:33:02] That was a good time Very different from this run and much better I haven't any percent run that's super glitchy from AGDQ this year.

[09:33:02] That was a good time.

[09:33:05] Very different from this one and much shorter, so... Right.

[09:33:06] All righty, so are we ready to do something?

[09:33:09] Sure.

[09:33:13] I think so. I think we are. All right, you're just going to start the timer when you...

[09:33:58] Yeah, I better find a hard scale and relearn Mudslap.

[09:34:00] Anyway, so

[09:34:02] We've got some post-game stuff here that we have to deal with quick

[09:34:04] I'm just mashing through it The it's not a big deal. The Perlin Evolved! Oh my gosh.

[09:34:07] Yeah, that's right. Wow!

[09:34:10] Um, but we do need to go do

[09:34:11] some shopping. Uh, I need an X-Speed in order to

[09:34:12] win the fight because otherwise Garchomp outspeeds me

[09:34:15] and it's a bad time.

[09:34:16] So I gotta go do that

[09:34:18] And then I'm gonna buy a couple forest stores for safety

[09:34:21] Um so we can actually squeeze in a couple donations while I run around here real quick

[09:34:24] I would love that

[09:34:33] We have got 885 dollars from sky donating for my favorite little friend creepy also hey

[09:35:49] Oh, whoa.

[09:35:52] What's this?

[09:35:53] What's your name?

[09:35:57] Oh, you didn't save.

[09:35:59] No!

[09:36:01] I didn't teach mud slap either. Come just trying to come on we gotta redo it then

[09:36:06] this one doesn't count as well no furloin no mud slap

[09:36:10] just spear too this is about making us win, man.

[09:36:15] What's your strategy here, TPS?

[09:36:17] Well first thing I'm going to x-speed because

[09:36:19] I need to become faster than Garchomp

[09:36:21] otherwise we're gonna have a severe problem

[09:36:24] Otherwise I'm going to set up 2 plus 4

[09:36:25] That's not great for setting up here

[09:36:28] But also...

[09:36:29] Double team!

[09:36:31] Good player just hits

[09:36:32] Oh and Hypnosis

[09:36:34] Go get hit! Let's go!

[09:36:38] All skill.

[09:36:40] Only goats can hit through double team.

[09:36:44] Yeah, this seems... Is it the exact same no it's it's one spot

[09:36:49] i mean no it's uh it's glaceon over right right right yeah i forgot it's

[09:36:54] the white two teams right Right, right, right.

[09:36:59] Yeah so basically the Gen 4 team though if you aren't familiar with that.

[09:37:03] I guess all of our teams are different like between Diamond and Pearl, Plat... Oh true yeah the plat team.

[09:37:05] Basically the plat team yes.

[09:37:10] We got like more or poorer ones. out-levels us by the way! Finally out leveled for the first time in two hours.

[09:37:15] There it is, the big scary Yarshramp level 82.

[09:37:19] And without breaking his sweat!

[09:37:25] I don't even know why we paused, there wasn't even a ring.

[09:37:27] I'm just trying to add some dramatic tension.

[09:37:29] True, true.

[09:37:30] This really is an excuse

[09:37:31] to listen to the music, honestly.

[09:37:32] Honestly.

[09:37:35] This is very good.

[09:37:39] As far as Super as super bosses go like Exodule is just so broken

[09:37:44] it's not like the red fight where you're just so much lower level and your

[09:37:47] Pokemon are just straight up worse in the speedrun, I still can handle everything

[09:37:52] in your actually equivalent level. So it's totally fine.

[09:37:56] Alright, well I guess time is coming out.

[09:37:59] Yeah, time will come up on the fade out.

[09:38:00] And time.

[09:38:05] Thank you all for coming out, it's been a blast.

[09:39:01] Well done, TTS for Life.

[09:39:02] Good afternoon everybody.

[09:39:05] You're watching Summer Games Done Quick 2024. I am MrGamingShout

[09:39:13] Hello my name is Abel I'm a Mario Kart DS player from the UK.

[09:39:18] I'll be running the 32 tracks main category which consists of playing through every track in the game against the CPUs

[09:39:24] I am delighted to say that on this fourth of july

[09:39:28] i'm joined by two of america's finest players in commentary

[09:39:31] puddings and mikey would you guys like to say hello hello okay so before anything i just Hello? Hello!

[09:39:44] Okay, so before anything I just want to show off this in-game decal which current Time Trial World Champion MK Dasher created specifically for this run so shout outs to you check

[09:39:49] out his youtube channel he's an amazing mario kart ds player

[09:39:53] okay and i hope everybody

[09:39:57] over there is doing well we're gonna go straight into versus mode

[09:40:02] and select our car and character dry bones of the egg one

[09:40:12] and set the correct settings to thirsty tracks in order takes a little while okay i think we're ready to go. Are you guys ready?

[09:40:21] Let's get it!

[09:40:23] Alright, let's get a countdown in 3... 2... 1... Go!

[09:40:31] Woohoo! Let's go! two one go

[09:40:36] okay so mario kart ds here we are uh so the first thing that we're gonna be seeing here is abel's going to start blasting out some mini turbos

[09:40:40] uh if you're familiar with anything you Abel's gonna start blasting out some mini-turbos.

[09:40:40] If you're familiar with anything

[09:40:43] that you've heard about this game,

[09:40:44] we do a lot of manual mini turbos

[09:40:45] and we're going to see our first technique here

[09:40:47] which is snaking.

[09:40:48] So Abel is alternating the direction

[09:40:50] of his mini-tur rows back and forth,

[09:40:52] And that is in order to keep this boost on straightaways

[09:40:56] And go just a little bit faster.

[09:40:58] If you were familiar with any kind of insider forums

[09:41:01] In the early 2000s you hear people

[09:41:03] complaining about this all day but we're still doing it

[09:41:06] yep 20 years later been used a lot online um so yeah they also gonna

[09:41:11] explain why Abel's using the combination that he's using right here.

[09:41:14] We have Dry Bones and the Egg One. Now the Egg One is not necessarily the fastest in terms of speed

[09:41:20] but it's generally considered the best kart for all 32 tracks.

[09:41:24] It has very high handling,

[09:41:26] high acceleration which also allows

[09:41:28] it to mini-turbo for a very long time

[09:41:32] That was a very nice blue shell dodge.

[09:41:35] Along with Dry Bones it has very low weight which also gives

[09:41:39] it very high speed off road and we're going to be going off-road quite a lot during this

[09:41:43] run sometimes its faster to just go straight

[09:41:45] through a turn and go right

[09:41:47] through the off-road instead of taking

[09:41:49] a turn in hand. Two blue shell doggies

[09:41:51] in one race, incredible!

[09:41:53] This is very, as you could have told already,

[09:41:56] a very RNG heavy speedrun. So we're going to have to adjust accordingly

[09:42:00] The next track is Yoshi Falls. It features a giant Yoshi egg

[09:42:04] in the middle, and recently

[09:42:07] in Mario Kart Wii

[09:42:09] a very cool tool assisted speed run

[09:42:11] has been performed of the Fast Lap.

[09:42:13] Do check it out! I believe it goes under

[09:42:15] 10 seconds.

[09:42:18] Yeah, they just bounce off the egg in the middle and just complete the lap in like around 7 seconds or so?

[09:42:22] Very cool. That's incredible!

[09:42:24] But unfortunately, the egg here is both two-dimensional

[09:42:26] and non-solid,

[09:42:28] so we can't achieve our dreams here.

[09:42:31] But what we can do

[09:42:33] is kind of explain a bit of item strategy that Abel's gonna be using.

[09:42:37] So first off thing... The thing is, Abel's going to be using. So first off, the thing is

[09:42:39] Abel's gonna constantly looking at his bottom screen checking to see what the items

[09:42:43] of the computers are getting but also he wants to cycle through

[09:42:47] if it gets like a fake item box that's not gonna block any shells so he really wants to get rid of that and he wants it off his racing line.

[09:42:52] So...he's just gonna keep on cycling through items until he has something like this

[09:42:57] And...complete the race as fast

[09:43:00] as possible. That's

[09:43:02] one other thing I'd like to mention. I am playing on

[09:43:04] real hardware. You might be a little

[09:43:06] confused as to why I'm looking at my monitor

[09:43:08] I'm just using the capture preview window

[09:43:11] I can see everything

[09:43:13] much clearer as well as items

[09:43:15] that are coming and in general it's

[09:43:17] just much, much clearer

[09:43:19] So this is Cheep Cheep Beach

[09:43:21] it featured in Mario Kart

[09:43:23] 8 Deluxe, sorry go ahead Mikey

[09:43:25] Yeah so now we're on Cheep Cheep

[09:43:27] Beach again it was in 8 Deluxe

[09:43:29] very fun track, um this is the first track where we're gonna

[09:43:32] start seeing cycles so there's going to be

[09:43:34] a lot of obstacles on our way on these tracks

[09:43:36] whether it be enemies like Goombas or

[09:43:38] crabs or sometimes its just natural stuff

[09:43:40] like water. So you'll see here, once we get

[09:43:43] to the water section, uh, the tide is going to be

[09:43:45] coming up and down, and every obstacle

[09:43:47] like that is gonna be operating on a cycle

[09:43:49] which means if we know, um

[09:43:51] if we keep track of what the time is on the timer

[09:43:53] on the bottom screen then were able to figure out where exactly these cycles are gonna be

[09:43:57] so as you can see right there Abel went into the water while it was low

[09:44:01] he knew this because of a timer, and this allows him to

[09:44:04] go in. It goes a lot faster when

[09:44:06] it's lower, so we're able to cut that turn right there.

[09:44:08] And we're going to be seeing a lot more of that

[09:44:10] later in the run sometimes if we slow down

[09:44:12] because we get hit with too many items,

[09:44:13] we won't be able to use certain cycles.

[09:44:17] But that's just another part of the run.

[09:44:19] It requires a lot of improvisation.

[09:44:21] Thankfully,

[09:44:21] we're going to be able to make do.

[09:44:23] Yep.

[09:44:24] So, okay. Yep, so...

[09:44:24] Okay, unfortunately that time

[09:44:26] we were not able

[09:44:27] to dodge the blue shell

[09:44:28] So I guess we are gonna spend

[09:44:30] a little bit of time

[09:44:31] and explain very quickly

[09:44:32] how we dodge blue shells

[09:44:33] in this game

[09:44:34] And it's very simple,

[09:44:36] you hold your mini-turbo when

[09:44:38] the orange sparks out and

[09:44:40] when the blue shell is about to go down

[09:44:42] and hit you, you just release it

[09:44:44] and jump, and you dodge it pretty much every time.

[09:44:46] It's a very large window about seven to nine frames or so.

[09:44:51] So here we are at Luigi Mansion

[09:44:53] based off of the GameCube launch title

[09:44:56] And we got a

[09:44:57] fun fact for you, these stairs that Abel's

[09:44:59] going up right now, if you

[09:45:01] were to stop on them and then try

[09:45:03] spin in place, the game will completely

[09:45:05] hard crash,

[09:45:08] at least on console.

[09:45:09] Due to a missing sound effect.

[09:45:12] So if you have a game right now,

[09:45:14] go boot it up and try that out. It's pretty

[09:45:16] funny. Incredible, and besides

[09:45:19] that not too much going on here there are

[09:45:21] these moving trees which you have to watch out for

[09:45:23] again they're on a cycle and then

[09:45:25] carefully navigate around the mud

[09:45:27] Besides that there is not too much going on in this track so let's just enjoy

[09:45:31] some very clean driving lines from abel as we hear our first few set of donations thank you

[09:45:36] definitely we have it so much love coming in for this run right now.

[09:45:39] As a matter of fact, we have $25 from Puddings!

[09:45:43] MKDS forever. It's such a blast showing off my favorite game

[09:45:47] of all time here at GDQ. Thank you, Puddings!

[09:45:51] Thanks, Puddings. And we also have $5

[09:45:55] from SouloftheMedley that says, Hey Abel, Puddings

[09:45:59] and Mikey, good luck on the run today. I know it's gonna be a good one.

[09:46:03] Make sure you get all the blue shell dodges and no shocks!

[09:46:07] Also Waluigi pinball shortcut in 32 track attempts when able?

[09:46:12] Today. Maybe today, we'll see.

[09:46:16] Today will be the day.

[09:46:20] Do you have time for one more? Yes.

[09:46:22] Yep.

[09:46:23] Great!

[09:46:24] We have $50 from Matster of the Universe that says, So hype for Able's Mario Kart DS run.

[09:46:31] Mario Kart DS was the first game I played on the DS, and I spent so many hours racing online.

[09:46:35] Though not nearly as well as I hope we'll see today!

[09:46:38] Also hype for the PV run! Much love and support for the runners, cast, and crew. Less than

[09:46:44] three. Thank you so much, Master.

[09:46:47] Alright,

[09:46:48] so here we are. We have made it through the first cup.

[09:46:50] We're here in Flower Cup, and we're going to see Abel doing a technique

[09:46:52] here, hopefully, called prb or prolonged rocket boost

[09:46:55] we lost it unfortunately but uh what that stands for is the prolonger boost and by getting the

[09:47:01] perfect start boost which is a three frame window and maintaining your mini turbo

[09:47:05] so getting your next mini turbo out

[09:47:07] before the boost from your previous one

[09:47:09] expires. You can

[09:47:11] basically keep your immunity to off-road

[09:47:13] indefinitely until you are either too slow or you miss a many turbo

[09:47:18] and this was actually discovered on christmas eve 2005 by a japanese player

[09:47:23] by the name of ninsan, and it's

[09:47:26] the greatest Christmas gift we've ever been given.

[09:47:28] Oh boy!

[09:47:31] Yeah PRB personally one of my favorite

[09:47:33] techniques not just in this game but in all

[09:47:35] Mario Kart is just so incredible to see.

[09:47:36] It's very demanding on the hands too.

[09:47:39] You can't lose your boost for even a single frame

[09:47:41] otherwise. Say you're doing a time trial run

[09:47:43] where you want to hold PRV for the entire track

[09:47:45] you're going to have to start all over again, but

[09:47:48] yeah, for Desert Hills

[09:47:49] very cool track with some very cool

[09:47:52] mushroom shortcuts we can do at the end if we have

[09:47:54] them, but Codings I believe you had something to say

[09:47:56] about this track? Well actually first off it's not a very cool track. It's actually a very warm track

[09:48:01] That's true

[09:48:02] But all of the skyboxes in this game rotate very slowly

[09:48:06] And Desert Hills is the only course in the game whose skybox rotates clockwise.

[09:48:11] That will be on the quiz later.

[09:48:13] Thank you, Brains!

[09:48:15] Okay.

[09:48:16] Alright so...

[09:48:17] We're going to go to Delfino Square?

[09:48:18] Yup, Delfino Square. This is personally my favorite track i love this one um this

[09:48:23] one's based on death penal closet and super mario sunshine if you've ever played that one uh so there

[09:48:28] was quite a lot going on here Not only do we have this beautiful scenery

[09:48:30] going through all these little buildings right

[09:48:32] here, but we're gonna see quite a few different shortcuts

[09:48:35] on this track. So first

[09:48:36] Abel is gonna go over here and he's gonna

[09:48:38] cut into this little mud section

[09:48:40] and perform this without a mushroom. Carefully

[09:48:43] mini-turboing through. There is not a lot of room for

[09:48:46] spacing right there so it's very precise but Abel has performed

[09:48:49] it very well. And we're gonna to see next left, another shortcut that we like

[09:48:53] to call the Dock Cut. So if you look to the left once you get out of the town section,

[09:48:58] you'll see there's a little surface that has a jump

[09:49:02] that goes onto the dock below.

[09:49:04] You're actually able to jump on

[09:49:05] to that dock and it saves

[09:49:06] a little bit of time,

[09:49:07] and is going to perform

[09:49:08] right here.

[09:49:10] Very nice!

[09:49:18] That is much harder than it looks, and I guess one thing also to point out with Delfino Square in general Is you saw that the bridge was down right there

[09:49:20] So a nice thing about going fast on this distracted is you actually get rewarded for doing that

[09:49:25] um it is the faster you are the more likely it's gonna be that the bridge is down when

[09:49:29] you get to it and hopefully we're gonna i think we're well on pace to get three good bridges yeah so far

[09:49:37] so good we didn't get lightning which is a um huge time loss so looking good oh

[09:49:43] failed us there and we've got another blue shell

[09:49:45] coming our way and that's a dodge

[09:49:47] And as you can see the green is still

[09:49:49] flat. Luigi's not for

[09:49:51] blood tonight. Oh yeah

[09:49:53] This is really good pace, yeah.

[09:49:55] 135... or 134!

[09:49:56] Excellent!

[09:49:57] Yes, the other thing I wanted to quickly mention

[09:49:59] Is that as fast as we're going

[09:50:02] It'll be very troublesome

[09:50:04] To catch up with the tail end of the CPUs

[09:50:07] because they'll be holding very, very dangerous items and they will

[09:50:11] be able to knock you around anyway. Yep. Alright real quick Abel let's not forget we're gonna slow down

[09:50:15] right here this is Waluigi Pinball. The mobile we've all been waiting for. Ab we're going to slow down right here. This is Waluigi Pinball, the mobile

[09:50:17] we've all been waiting for. Able's gonna slow down and get an item

[09:50:19] and hopefully...ah that's not what

[09:50:21] we want to see. We wanted to get some mushrooms

[09:50:23] because we wanted to attempt something

[09:50:25] very cool that was recently discovered in the last few months.

[09:50:29] Right here, if you jump off of that rainbow boost panel and move a little bit to the left

[09:50:35] there's a little trick you can do where if you line up and hit the wall

[09:50:39] and the grounds at around the same time,

[09:50:41] then perform a hop right

[09:50:43] as you hit the ground. It has to be the exact

[09:50:45] frame. It is one-frame window

[09:50:47] Then move it to the right,

[09:50:49] and hopefully if you do it correctly

[09:50:51] you'll jump forward and upward

[09:50:53] very quickly, and hopefully clear an invisible

[09:50:55] wall, and that will allow you to go

[09:50:57] all the way down from the pinball section on the bottom.

[09:51:00] This was discovered just a few months ago,

[09:51:02] and it saves around 8 seconds. It is incredible!

[09:51:04] Yes, so... uh...

[09:51:06] The shortcut... I mean really kind of

[09:51:08] the flashiest thing if you've seen anything from Mario Kart DS in the past few months,

[09:51:11] it's probably this shortcut. It was discovered

[09:51:13] by two players, Zumo de Capaya

[09:51:15] and GuanlongX.

[09:51:17] Shoutouts to them. And since

[09:51:19] then, since April when it was discovered the world record on this track has gone from a 1.55 to a 1.35.2

[09:51:27] So huge time cuts overall

[09:51:36] It's just incredible yeah so i'm holding a star here just in case um any of the cpus use the lightnings i'm keeping also an eye on the bottom screen here.

[09:51:43] But I may as well just start using it in a second

[09:51:47] Yeah!

[09:51:49] and then we're gonna use it right around now

[09:51:53] See? I know T-Sh coming in from the left as well?

[09:51:55] One last thing I guess we can point out

[09:51:57] on this track that's not a shortcut is Abel's also

[09:51:59] mini-turboing into these bumpers,

[09:52:01] and if he releases one and then comes into it,

[09:52:04] It'll expel him outwards

[09:52:06] And it will save just a little bit of time

[09:52:07] over driving normal lines forward.

[09:52:11] Did you see those two pinballs that he almost hit?

[09:52:13] I did yeah amazing

[09:52:18] all right shroom ridge so this is a track that has a very tricky prb uh strap We're going to see if Abel can hit it...

[09:52:26] No, it's fine! So there are a lot of things to contend with on this track. There is a lot

[09:52:32] of difficult terrain as we're gonna see but also the cars are moving in both directions

[09:52:37] so it's very difficult to kind of know where you are on the track cycle based

[09:52:42] if there's any chart that is cycle-based it's this one one. You constantly need to be aware

[09:52:47] of where the

[09:52:49] trucks and cars are going to be

[09:52:50] depending on where you are in the track

[09:52:52] and luckily we usually drive this track

[09:52:54] the same amount of time every time,

[09:52:56] so we know what to expect.

[09:52:58] Yeah, although typically at the end of lap three

[09:53:01] on one of the very last turns there's a specific blue car

[09:53:04] that could be just right in our racing line

[09:53:06] and it's very challenging to deal with

[09:53:08] especially on time trials if you're on a really

[09:53:10] good run. You know, you get really nervous on lap

[09:53:12] three and you have to worry about this car.

[09:53:14] You have to go on the inside of it

[09:53:16] and just be on the very edge of the turn almost falling off.

[09:53:20] It's very difficult, but we usually see it pulled off.

[09:53:26] Yes so now we're entering lap 3.

[09:53:29] This isn't such a bad pace...

[09:53:31] Oh actually I was just going to say this isn't such a bad pace

[09:53:33] Is that our first lightning?

[09:53:36] We've had one or two before I think

[09:53:37] Okay

[09:53:40] So this will... Okay now we've got a blue shell that needs to adjust too that's

[09:53:42] so close 100 percent uh no we missed one as well

[09:53:46] yeah cheap cheap beach

[09:53:50] never nothing ever goes perfectly well here yeah

[09:53:54] my job to keep you honest

[09:54:00] so closing out here we're going to be finishing the Flower Cup and moving on to the Star Cup.

[09:54:06] We are about a quarter way through the run and our first track here is going to be dk pass also shout out to this white finish

[09:54:15] uh so on dj pass it's a very kind of polarizing track in our community a lot of people really

[09:54:20] like it a lot of people really hate it. It really has to do with

[09:54:23] your opinion on the downpour section, really. But we're going to

[09:54:26] hopefully be collecting a little secret. We're gonna

[09:54:30] when we're able to get up the mountain, dodging all the

[09:54:33] snowmen and snowballs on his way up. That's the magical item box.

[09:54:38] Yes. This item box is

[09:54:41] very special. As you can see, it gave Abel a

[09:54:44] star in first place! So this item box in total

[09:54:48] can give a few different things, usually a star or triple mushrooms which we

[09:54:52] really love in first place. Especially the star.

[09:54:55] But it can also give a single mushroom, or be dreaded 1

[09:54:59] and 200 red shell. Speaking of red shells...

[09:55:03] We just got hit by one right there.

[09:55:04] You think it was from that item box?

[09:55:07] Perhaps. One thing that is

[09:55:10] kind of notable in this run is that red shells are honestly more

[09:55:13] of a threat to us as racers than blue shells are.

[09:55:16] And that is because the red shell AI

[09:55:18] is just devious.

[09:55:20] It's purely... it was designed

[09:55:22] by someone

[09:55:24] with very bad intentions, and

[09:55:27] they can track you down no matter what

[09:55:29] and they will always have a tendency to come at you

[09:55:31] from the side as opposed to behind you.

[09:55:32] So even your bananas behind you can't help sometimes.

[09:55:37] Yup, they'll track you down no matter what except for when they don't because

[09:55:39] there are a lot of times where

[09:55:41] sometimes they'll just give up. We've seen before

[09:55:43] on AbleStream a red shell

[09:55:45] is coming towards him and all of a sudden it'll just move straight

[09:55:49] and fall into the water or something it's it's hilarious just how polarizing the red shells

[09:55:54] are here oh yeah there are times when the red cells on Rainbow Road will do exactly just that.

[09:56:01] I would joke...I'd say they've gone into interstellar travel basically.

[09:56:06] They'll reach another track in 80 thousand years or something.

[09:56:08] Yeah, they've evolved

[09:56:09] beyond us. Nice motion right there.

[09:56:12] Okay, so this is a fairly

[09:56:13] average DK pass.

[09:56:15] A good time here at World Record pace would be

[09:56:17] under

[09:56:17] 150 times, so 149-111 world record pace would be something like a

[09:56:19] under 150 times so 149 148 something like that

[09:56:23] for reference the time trial world record is at 142.3

[09:56:26] by japanese player taiga look him up tiger is very incredible i'm sure we're going to mention

[09:56:33] him at some other point during the run but uh here we are picked our clock so this is another

[09:56:37] track that is very uh cycle based uh so we're going to be seeing a few different things, mostly

[09:56:43] clock hands this pendulum and the spinning gears here um and we just need to again know kind of

[09:56:49] where we are on the track and what to expect like am i going to go to

[09:56:52] left of the pendulum this lap or I'm gonna go to the right uh but in all seriousness

[09:56:57] I think this is a pretty straightforward track in terms of racing just kind kind of got to know where you are

[09:57:03] when you are.

[09:57:07] Yep and we see some very cool tech

[09:57:09] We move back and forth on the cogs

[09:57:11] below down there We always move on the onegs below down there. We always move on

[09:57:13] one that's moving forward, so it boosts us just a little bit. And then at the end you'll see

[09:57:17] those two spinning cogs. Sometimes they'll go back and forth between which

[09:57:21] ones are going backwards but um we always

[09:57:23] go on the one that's spinning forwards and that'll propel us pretty fast usually so it

[09:57:27] saves quite a bit of time yes i'm normally id oh no! A front blue shell.

[09:57:36] So that tends to happen sometimes depending on the pace you have.

[09:57:42] But yeah very annoying and difficult to adjust to in this run.

[09:57:46] Good tackle though, managed to go inside.

[09:57:49] It's faster to just go straight through the center of the clock right there instead

[09:57:53] of going around and hitting the boost panels.

[09:57:56] We're already lapping the computers, this is insane so... Oh yeah?

[09:58:00] Yeah we did kind of mention it earlier but there are some characters of interest that

[09:58:04] we are not big fans of speaking, here's one of them right now

[09:58:06] Rob in the introduction to this game

[09:58:09] he is the heaviest character in the game

[09:58:10] and by even touching him in the slightest

[09:58:12] you will be sent into the

[09:58:14] shadow realm instantly

[09:58:16] More on that later will be sent into the Shadow Realm instantly.

[09:58:17] More on that later, but now we're up to Mario Circuit

[09:58:20] and we're hopefully going to see some PRB from Abel right here

[09:58:23] he does need to concentrate because this can be very difficult

[09:58:26] to pull off, and then hopefully right

[09:58:28] after we're going to see a very cool shortcut yep so as i explained earlier you just kind of keep

[09:58:35] your mini turbos pace them out right and you just get to drive on off-road without any problem at

[09:58:39] all yep very nice prv right here and now anvil is going to enter a shortcut and hopefully make

[09:58:45] it this one's very difficult yes so right so right here he is going to try to

[09:58:49] perfect! Wow! So that works

[09:58:53] because there is a piece of geometry right before the wall that kind of

[09:58:57] raised it up a little bit and by doing

[09:59:00] that you can press r right when you're about to go off

[09:59:02] of it and save a significant amount of time over

[09:59:06] the normal way uh enables me missing out a lot in

[09:59:09] practice but you know we love to see it.

[09:59:12] Yeah, it's also worth mentioning usually what happens is

[09:59:16] You'll jump onto the wall and get like stuck on the edge just a little bit

[09:59:21] and I need to hop on.

[09:59:22] But right there, Abel just perfectly went straight over it,

[09:59:25] which is much faster than getting stuck on it.

[09:59:28] And sometimes when that happens, if you don't expect it,

[09:59:31] you'll just go right into

[09:59:32] the wall coming up after. But again, that was just executed absolutely

[09:59:36] flawlessly, so huge shout-out to Abel right here.

[09:59:40] That was very impressive.

[09:59:42] It's looking like a sub-130, which is quite surprising and awesome in a marathon setting.

[09:59:51] This track's going so well

[09:59:52] that Rainbow Road can go even worse,

[09:59:54] don't worry.

[09:59:55] Oh no.

[09:59:55] As it historically does.

[09:59:57] That's a 1.31,

[09:59:58] but it's still very,

[09:59:59] very good.

[09:59:59] Yeah,

[10:00:00] that was amazing.

[10:00:02] Awesome.

[10:00:02] Now moving on to Ashley Fortress

[10:00:04] which is based off of Super Mario Bros 3

[10:00:08] Alright um so

[10:00:10] first things first Abel's gonna drive through

[10:00:12] this Bullet Bill section they have very strange

[10:00:15] responses which we'll explain later and now um we're moving on we're going to see

[10:00:18] some rocky wrenches now we've got to mention before but um so that shortcut you saw in

[10:00:22] waluigi pinball was also a similar shortcut that he could pull off

[10:00:25] on Luigi's Mansion and Del Pino

[10:00:27] Square. Those are much harder

[10:00:29] and save around 1-2 seconds

[10:00:31] And there's also a shortcut

[10:00:33] that's been theorized through Tool Assist on this track as well,

[10:00:37] but unfortunately no one has been able to pull it off just yet.

[10:00:40] But besides that there is still a lot going on in this track so I mentioned those Bullet

[10:00:44] Bills from before. These guys are really funny, they actually...

[10:00:47] As you saw right there, it got pretty close. They only have a hitbox on the front

[10:00:52] so if you hit them in the middle or like on the back side of them

[10:00:55] then you won't get hit at all because they only have a hip box

[10:00:57] in the front yeah former world record uh the video upload of it has like dry bones clearly

[10:01:05] inside of the bullet bill and i think there's somebody in the comments who's just

[10:01:08] like uh excuse me and we're just like no no it's all right yeah i'd said the trickiest

[10:01:15] thing about this track for me me personally, is the spiral.

[10:01:18] Having to adjust with very specific

[10:01:21] hopping in order to not get

[10:01:23] a very wide line. But anyway, we're into lap

[10:01:25] three now, almost done, and heading into

[10:01:26] the Special Cup.

[10:01:28] I think we have probably time for like one or two donations

[10:01:31] at the end of this drive?

[10:01:34] Fantastic!

[10:01:37] I have $50 from Bz archer that says so much mario kart and trackmania

[10:01:43] and peanut butter take my money and just to update you on

[10:01:49] that incentive for the Trackmania upgrade to the Puzzle 100% plus Stunts Any Percent run, we have raised $4,430 towards that $10,000 goal.

[10:02:01] We are smashing it! Please

[10:02:03] get those donations in and select that incentive

[10:02:05] so we can see more racing

[10:02:07] more TrackMania Sunrise

[10:02:09] and more SBBQ.

[10:02:11] Yeah, I love Trackmania. Get that funded.

[10:02:16] Alright, Warrior Stadium! So here's gonna be a track

[10:02:19] we're going to see a technique called PR PRB reset. So, we already explained

[10:02:23] PRB but you can actually obtain PRB again by...

[10:02:27] Okay never mind! But you can obtain it again

[10:02:31] okay by going off of a mini-turbo and going off of a boost panel

[10:02:36] And it will reset kind of our PRB state

[10:02:40] And allow us to continue the technique

[10:02:43] That's brutal right there, wow!

[10:02:44] Yeah, red shells can do that too.

[10:02:46] They can hit you from forward sides anywhere they want.

[10:02:49] Yeah we call this Red Shell Stadium

[10:02:51] because for some reason

[10:02:53] red shells just seem to happen at a rate much higher here than anywhere else.

[10:02:58] Yeah, there are certain tracks which allow the CPUs to cycle red shells more effectively

[10:03:02] I don't know why but this is Yoshi's third and we're only

[10:03:05] a minute in so

[10:03:07] I'm going to attempt to do some PRB restart

[10:03:09] here. There you go

[10:03:11] So I'm cutting the off-road and I'm going to try

[10:03:13] and do a full lap

[10:03:14] Also, we're going to try and do a full lap.

[10:03:16] Yeah, so also we're going to hopefully see

[10:03:17] April set up here for a shortcut

[10:03:20] at the end of the lap. He wasn't able to do it because they're red shell.

[10:03:22] But by doing main turbo

[10:03:24] Oh my god!

[10:03:29] Come on! by doing a main turbo and gas oh my god oh my god come on i thought we paid them off enough

[10:03:35] apparently yeah no we need more donations for that uh if you guys keep donating we'll have the best luck possible for Rainbow Road.

[10:03:36] Which historically everything goes wrong there.

[10:03:39] With enough donations though, we're going to see a lot of cool stuff.

[10:03:42] Come on everyone get in your donations so we can see a fabulous Rainbow Road!

[10:03:46] Yes and Emma's gonna try prv one more time hopefully be able

[10:03:50] to show off the full prb yeah so there's kind of a meme in the community where it's just like okay

[10:03:54] why drive wario stadium when you can just drive around all the obstacles in the mud instead?

[10:04:00] Nope. I think we'll be out of lightning by the time this workout comes up though.

[10:04:05] Yeah, it should be okay. The main goal is to really just squawk and run.

[10:04:08] Oh, this is really awkward. let's see if I can...

[10:04:10] It's possible?

[10:04:11] Yes!

[10:04:12] Very nice!

[10:04:13] So by going over the wall there we're able to trigger a checkpoint

[10:04:16] On the other side of the track and respawn there, and that takes

[10:04:20] about a second to a second and a half.

[10:04:22] Yes! And then another

[10:04:24] blue shell at the end. Okay great. Um so

[10:04:26] moving onto Peach Gardens uh we didn't get to mention

[10:04:28] before this is- We're now in the Special Cup and tracks

[10:04:31] get a lot harder from here on out

[10:04:32] these are some of the most difficult tracks in the whole game

[10:04:35] right here. So right now we're on

[10:04:37] Peach Gardens. This one's rather

[10:04:38] simplistic but still quite a bit going on.

[10:04:40] We drive through that little flower bed right there

[10:04:42] It is much faster than just going around the whole turn

[10:04:46] We also have some runaway Bradens in the maze

[10:04:49] So shout out to Chain Chop Braden,

[10:04:52] Super Mario Maker player for making that appearance.

[10:04:55] Everyone chat please say hi to Braden.

[10:04:57] Hi Braden!

[10:05:00] That was a fun pair of gears.

[10:05:02] Yeah, not much else to say about this track except I do want

[10:05:05] to mention really quick shoutouts to the current world record

[10:05:08] on this track which actually holds PRB for

[10:05:11] all three laps and it is just incredible. Only two people have been able to hold PRV

[10:05:16] for so long, and it's an amazing run so do check it out. Yes, MK Dasher and

[10:05:24] Tiger. Tiger is the current world record holder I believe with a

[10:05:28] 1-22 5-1-1 if memory serves me right

[10:05:32] They are essentially

[10:05:33] being messy

[10:05:34] and Cristiano Ronaldo

[10:05:36] of Mario Kart DS

[10:05:37] Time Trials

[10:05:37] do check out

[10:05:38] their world records

[10:05:39] on mkworldrecords.com

[10:05:41] Yep,

[10:05:43] and as we drive this last lap of Kishgaran I think

[10:05:45] We have time for a couple donations. Fantastic! The love continues

[10:05:49] To pour in for this run. We have $63

[10:05:53] From HD Rookie that says,

[10:05:56] Had to drop a donation for my favorite

[10:05:58] Mario Kart game. Any other

[10:06:00] Mission Mode enjoyers out there? Well,

[10:06:02] here's a dollar for all 63

[10:06:04] missions. If that crazy pinball shortcut

[10:06:06] somehow gets hit, perhaps I'll add a bit more.

[10:06:09] Best of luck, Abel. You've got

[10:06:11] this. Thank you so much

[10:06:12] for that donation. We also

[10:06:14] have $25 from Charles that says,

[10:06:17] did you know that you can still play Mario Kart DS online in 2024?

[10:06:24] Thank you for the generous donation to Doctors Without Borders.

[10:06:27] I have time for one more.

[10:06:30] Uh, yes?

[10:06:32] Great! We have $15 from Dragon Sighted that says MKDS hype!

[10:06:38] I've been so hyped for this run.

[10:06:40] Mario Kart DS is such a formative game

[10:06:42] for me. I remember nights of walking down

[10:06:44] my street in the evenings after school looking

[10:06:46] for Wi-Fi to play on or getting a ride to the library

[10:06:49] to play MKDS and RuneScape.

[10:06:51] Oh, how the times have changed!

[10:06:53] It's one of the first experiences

[10:06:54] of a game I was ever actually able

[10:06:56] to really see progression get faster at.

[10:06:58] Huge thanks to the MKGS community

[10:07:00] for holding it down

[10:07:01] for so many years,

[10:07:02] and here's for

[10:07:03] so many more to come!

[10:07:04] Good luck, Able!

[10:07:06] Thank you so much!

[10:07:08] I wanted to add something

[10:07:09] real quick regarding that. I wanted to add something real quick regarding that

[10:07:11] I used to do the exact same thing when i was much younger

[10:07:15] When I first started out playing this game back in 2006

[10:07:19] I would try and look for Wi-Fi hotspots.

[10:07:20] We're getting a really badly timed blue shell,

[10:07:23] not enough time to drift there,

[10:07:25] and yeah,

[10:07:26] AND a red shell is adding insults of injury.

[10:07:28] It's fine, it's right before Rainbow Road

[10:07:30] we're getting the bad luck out of the way.

[10:07:32] Exactly. I would try and look for a WiFi hotspot so desperately to play this game online.

[10:07:37] This was before most people had wi-fi connections at home so yeah times are very

[10:07:45] different back then anyway we're on badger castle right now we have only one more lap

[10:07:49] so we'll explain this quickly. Very, very challenging track

[10:07:53] there's a lot going on here

[10:07:55] one of the longest tracks in the game

[10:07:57] at almost 1 minute 50 seconds

[10:07:59] so you really have to endure

[10:08:01] for a while and there's a lot of obstacles and tight corners

[10:08:04] like this spinning bridge right here.

[10:08:06] Yeah, I think I saw some people in chat

[10:08:08] freaking out about the fact that

[10:08:09] he was even performing a drift at all on

[10:08:12] the bridge there. It's incredible yeah it takes a lot of uh control and technique

[10:08:16] to be able to do that but um abel is one of the greatest players in the game he has a top 10 time

[10:08:22] on this track oh unfortunately missed the shortcut

[10:08:25] at the end here so what you can do is jump off the last

[10:08:29] turn right there and hit the finish line as you fall into the lava

[10:08:33] skipping the last turn saves a tiny bit of time we always do it at

[10:08:36] the end of the race. And now here we are Rainbow Road, again historically does not go well at live

[10:08:42] events but we're gonna see some magic happen today.

[10:08:46] Yep, we're just going to hope that Waluigi backs off

[10:08:48] just a little bit, gives us our personal space

[10:08:50] there he is, he's dead

[10:08:53] So we are going to be doing hopefully two different shortcuts

[10:08:56] showing off to you today.

[10:08:56] I think we even have enough time on lap one to do it here.

[10:08:59] I think so, I'm going to give them the first one.

[10:09:01] Here it comes!

[10:09:02] So we're gonna be turning around here...

[10:09:04] We're gonna be falling off here.

[10:09:06] Or go for it left too, but

[10:09:08] give me a little bit of time to explain I guess the first shortcut

[10:09:10] So the first shortcut that

[10:09:12] uh...I guess we are gonna try and attempt

[10:09:14] is the loop skip which was discovered

[10:09:16] in 2014 by MK Dasher. Shout out again to him

[10:09:19] and we're going up to the spiral, and we'll be turning around

[10:09:23] hopefully, if the items let us

[10:09:27] If the items let us... That was awful.

[10:09:29] Like we said, never goes well in live events.

[10:09:33] Yeah, and we're going to be turning around

[10:09:35] And launching ourselves off of the spiral into the loop directly.

[10:09:40] Hopefully

[10:09:41] it will line up just right.

[10:09:44] There we go!

[10:09:45] No!

[10:09:48] That was still very impressive.

[10:09:50] Oh, I thought I was gonna make that.

[10:09:52] But anyway let's see if we can try and do the pipe shortcut here.

[10:09:55] Usually when you fail that loop skip

[10:09:58] You either hit the bottom of the road up ahead, or

[10:10:01] you just immediately fall out of bounds.

[10:10:03] So getting up to the

[10:10:05] end of the loop-de-loop, even if you fall off

[10:10:07] is still very impressive.

[10:10:09] Yeah, so we also just saw the pipe truck up

[10:10:11] there, uh,

[10:10:12] so by going to

[10:10:13] the last of

[10:10:14] the rings,

[10:10:14] turning around

[10:10:15] and then kind

[10:10:15] of yeeting

[10:10:16] ourselves off

[10:10:17] the road for

[10:10:18] lack of a

[10:10:19] better term.

[10:10:19] What do you

[10:10:20] think?

[10:10:20] Should I try

[10:10:21] it again?

[10:10:21] Yes! We got it.

[10:10:23] Nooo

[10:10:27] They just don't want us to try

[10:10:31] It's legacy continues for speedrunning marathons.

[10:10:33] I don't know why this always happens.

[10:10:35] We still got some air there, I was very impressed.

[10:10:37] Yes! Uh... we should still be able to do the out of bounds skip one more time. Here we go.

[10:10:44] Yep so as were following through the air here, we're actually passing

[10:10:46] through a couple key checkpoints. Yes, they

[10:10:48] work in this game and

[10:10:50] any MKW fans out there

[10:10:51] we do have a functional video game, and it allows us to respawn right near the corkscrew

[10:10:58] there and finish the track. So even despite all of the obstacles on our way there, we still finished well in first.

[10:11:08] TPUs don't have a good time there either.

[10:11:11] The first track of the Retros, SNES Mario Circuit 1,

[10:11:14] the very first Mario Kart track of the retros. Mario Circuit 1,

[10:11:15] the very first

[10:11:16] Mario Kart track.

[10:11:18] Sadly I hit

[10:11:19] a wall there

[10:11:19] but what you're

[10:11:20] meant to be doing

[10:11:21] here is

[10:11:22] cutting across

[10:11:23] the sands

[10:11:24] and basically just avoiding

[10:11:27] the regular terrain, and it saves a bunch of time.

[10:11:31] Yeah we've...PRB is very

[10:11:35] strong especially on tracks like this where the most direct route

[10:11:38] is clearly a straight line across the offroad.

[10:11:42] So people have been doing it since the beginning and I think we would call one of the best practice tracks for PRB

[10:11:49] because you have a very easy open area to work on it.

[10:11:54] Yeah, it's actually the PRB sandbox of the game

[10:11:57] for players that are starting out learning advanced tech.

[10:11:59] And if you hold PRB for the entire track, then usually you'll be able to complete

[10:12:03] a whole track in about 38 seconds which is incredible!

[10:12:07] Yep. So Moomu Farm, this is a kind of again polarizing

[10:12:12] and very annoying track.

[10:12:14] So we have a couple things to contend with

[10:12:16] other than of course the computers

[10:12:18] as we're to be going on

[10:12:20] walls next to the fence on the right

[10:12:22] and we are just gonna try to stick as close to that wall

[10:12:24] as possible throughout the entire track. We also have

[10:12:26] our lovely friends here at Moles

[10:12:28] and luckily unlike MK64,

[10:12:31] these moles do operate on a consistent cycle

[10:12:34] so we know kind of when they're gonna come out

[10:12:37] and also they kinda forecast their movement

[10:12:39] a little bit better.

[10:12:39] In 64, anytime you go over

[10:12:41] a mole hole

[10:12:43] there, you're just rolling

[10:12:45] the dice. But

[10:12:47] we are going to be doing a bunch of different mini turbos

[10:12:49] back and forth, and we are also going to be doing something bunch of different mini-turbos back and forth, And we are also gonna be doing something called a slip drift.

[10:12:52] Which is basically kind of using the momentum from falling off a surface in landing

[10:13:00] And we're just gonna immediately start a drift instead

[10:13:02] of having to hop to start our draft yeah so slip your thing save just a

[10:13:06] little bit of time every time you do it and um before we go we just need to say

[10:13:10] hi to the cows really quick they're watching us from the grass right over the fence,

[10:13:14] so everyone in chat please say hi to the cows.

[10:13:16] Hi cows!

[10:13:18] Hey.

[10:13:20] Okay, so moving on now

[10:13:21] to I believe Gba peach circuits um very popular track

[10:13:26] from mario kart super circuit yeah this is uh my favorite track in

[10:13:32] the game just i think a lot of people really enjoy this track very

[10:13:36] welcoming for beginners but we're going to be seeing obviously a lot more pw racing

[10:13:41] abel's going to be using the track as a suggestion and kind of going wherever he pleases.

[10:13:46] And this is actually, so this was the intro track in Mario Kart Super Circuit

[10:13:50] or aka in Mario Kart Advance, and I think it's probably the best track for beginners in terms of wanting a challenge.

[10:14:00] You know, there is a lot off-road and I personally am a bigger non PRB fan here but I will tolerate PRV for today.

[10:14:08] Yeah we gotta respect the PRV it's just one of the coolest things you can do

[10:14:13] It takes a lot of skill to master and Abel is just airing the track up right now. PRP already lapsed very fast time.

[10:14:20] Yeah, we always gotta worry for those computers though.

[10:14:23] 53 seconds! That's amazing.

[10:14:26] Yep. Alright... so... That's amazing.

[10:14:33] Alright, so we have GCN Luigi Circuit from Mario Kart Double Dash So this is another very PRB friendly track

[10:14:36] We're going to be doing a PRB reset once again off the boost panel there.

[10:14:40] Or we are gonna get Destroy by Waluigi... No! We still kept it!

[10:14:44] So this track is very chaotic especially in uh versus runs rta oh i think if you stay to the left a bit more

[10:14:53] of the red shell what it is was thinking about that just there from the screen, Waluigi is right behind us.

[10:15:01] Yep and he's got another one

[10:15:02] and we can't even buy any of them

[10:15:04] for a 1. Oh my gosh

[10:15:06] Yeah not sure if we mentioned before

[10:15:08] but when we're in first place the only items you can get are bananas, green shells, fake item boxes and triple bananas if we're lucky.

[10:15:15] And out of all those items the fake item box is the only one that we cannot get rid of red shells with. So whenever we get one,

[10:15:21] oh my God,

[10:15:21] that is brutal.

[10:15:22] Whenever we get a fake item box,

[10:15:24] we just want to throw it away

[10:15:25] as quick as possible

[10:15:26] and hopefully put it somewhere

[10:15:27] where it won't get in our way later.

[10:15:29] But yeah,

[10:15:30] besides that,

[10:15:30] we just want to hold on to our defensive items and

[10:15:32] more red shells! Oh my gosh!

[10:15:34] Yeah so things I was going to mention are obviously you're gonna be doing a lot of PRV

[10:15:39] reset off these ramps but also the kind of chaotic two-way

[10:15:43] racing you're seeing in the center of the track

[10:15:44] is opens us up a lot for like a fifth or sixth place computer just

[10:15:49] launching a blue at us with no time to react so it's something where you always got to be vigilant

[10:15:55] okay okay we gotta i got out alive and i accidentally pressed x um to drop that

[10:16:01] banana there um unfortunately i've been doing that for a bit of the run sadly.

[10:16:07] Now Donut Plains 1 is another flat track from the SNES

[10:16:12] with the aim being just to hold PRB for all three laps.

[10:16:17] I believe one of you wanted

[10:16:20] to touch upon the world record history here?

[10:16:24] Yeah, so PRB as you can see abel had prv for about

[10:16:27] the first half of the lap um brb here usually typically done with

[10:16:30] the dry bomber it's a bit slower than the egg one but

[10:16:33] has much much higher control i can go a

[10:16:35] bit faster off-road so we can hold prb with the egg 1 here

[10:16:39] but we have to take much wider lines it's a little bit awkward

[10:16:42] but um as of a couple years ago the egg 1 now

[10:16:45] had the world record for PRB on this track.

[10:16:48] It's an incredible feat to see. Some very interesting lines are taken

[10:16:53] to hold PRB and still take the turn as tight as possible so just huge shout out to again mk dasher and

[10:16:59] taiga who have been able to perform it and um also we wanted to shout out uh canadian player

[10:17:05] cole edwards also known as dr mario for having the non-PRB world record here

[10:17:09] Even without PRB this track is still very technical

[10:17:11] There's a lot of really cool turns you can take so shout out to all of them

[10:17:15] Yeah the staff ghost sneaks on that track.

[10:17:20] So Frappe Snowland, one of my personal favorites out of any Mario Kart track

[10:17:24] I'm gonna see if I can do the trick here

[10:17:26] Okay so what I did there was um and i believe a red shell is coming

[10:17:30] towards you wow this isn't unbelievable what i did there was some maintain prb

[10:17:36] um go across the edge of the dead zone and just cut across it.

[10:17:40] You may have seen on the bottom screen, I cut quite a large portion

[10:17:44] there so it's big time safe. And then we do that laps 2 & 3

[10:17:48] slightly more to the right as

[10:17:51] we don't have PRB in our speed, so yeah.

[10:17:55] So really I think the only other thing of note kind of on this track other than you know

[10:17:59] the myriad obstacles is we need to kind of adjust our driving in order to deal with

[10:18:05] the lower traction terrain. So adjusting when we release things so they don't get snowmanned.

[10:18:13] Yup! We also just go over that little snow pillar right there to save a bit of time

[10:18:17] and not much else to say about this track

[10:18:19] So I think it's a very good time to relax, grab

[10:18:23] a nice cup of hot chocolate even if its July and we're just gonna enjoy some

[10:18:27] driving from Abel as we hear more donations.

[10:18:31] Definitely! We have a $5 donation from Red Shell Inc that says, I'll see what I can do about delaying the next red shell delivery. Thank you for that. We also have $5 from Jojo07, who says Mario Kart DS was among the first games I ever played.

[10:18:49] I hold it dear to my heart and am glad to see it being run at GDQ by such a talented runner.

[10:18:55] You're doing great, Abel, by the way.

[10:18:57] Can we get some love in chat and in the audience for Abel right now?

[10:19:02] Abel is just incredible, yeah. Thank you so much we also have a 500 donation from

[10:19:10] anonymous that says mkds is still my favorite and let's crush that Trackmania

[10:19:16] incentive! Go MSF! And just as an

[10:19:20] update, we only have $4,260

[10:19:24] remaining of that upgrade for the Trackmania

[10:19:27] Sunrise Run. So if you want to see that run and I want to see that run, go ahead

[10:19:31] and get your donations in now! Alright so actually

[10:19:35] good segue there.

[10:19:36] We just were on the wall there.

[10:19:38] You're probably wondering what that is.

[10:19:40] So that has a strap that we like to call it the Zagato!

[10:19:43] If you know of this cyclomic chant or the Seglemmik Yell.

[10:19:47] It's kind of like that and we named it after a former world champion from

[10:19:51] The Netherlands Miguel Rodriguez aka Zageto

[10:19:55] And he just kind of pioneered the strat of skipping that last booster panel

[10:20:00] uh, and just going over to the wall.

[10:20:02] And it saves a little bit of time fraction of a second

[10:20:05] and we like to go for it and chat him out.

[10:20:07] Smash Bros Melee player might I add from back in the day yeah

[10:20:12] um yeah going back to uh some of the donation comments

[10:20:16] um yeah i can see that mkDS is one of the first games

[10:20:20] that people played. It's certainly one that evokes a deep sense

[10:20:24] of nostalgia and it's the game that got me into

[10:20:28] competitive gaming,

[10:20:31] introduced me to the speedrunning world

[10:20:33] and here I am almost 20 years later still playing it

[10:20:36] and happier I couldn't be.

[10:20:40] Yep we love

[10:20:41] this game. We the three of

[10:20:43] us have dedicated a lot of time

[10:20:45] into it. We love the community too. Shout out to

[10:20:47] everyone in the community and

[10:20:49] very nice PC too right here.

[10:20:51] Real quick, we just need to mention there's only 7 item boxes on this track

[10:20:54] so not a lot of items, just a fun fact.

[10:20:57] Thankfully. Speaking of items...

[10:21:00] Oh yeah well before that I quickly just want to shout out Lasertrap in the audience as

[10:21:05] the Mario Kart DS backup runner in case anything happened to me in the last couple weeks.

[10:21:10] But thankfully I'm here and just wanted to say hello to LaserTrap

[10:21:13] in the audience.

[10:21:15] So here we are at Baby Park. A fan favorite?

[10:21:18] We hate it in this game though.

[10:21:19] As you can see, it's a lot kind of a downgraded

[10:21:21] version of its Double Dash counterpart.

[10:21:24] Only five laps and everything is kinda muted

[10:21:27] And we don't even want to talk about this track anymore

[10:21:30] So, maybe have another donation or two

[10:21:33] I certainly do! We have $250

[10:21:35] from Biscuit Pakes that says

[10:21:36] tight gameplay, engaging commentary

[10:21:39] and a skeleton turtle

[10:21:40] driving an egg. What more could you

[10:21:42] ask for? You all are amazing. Thank you for that donation, Biscuit Cakes!

[10:21:48] We also have $50 from Sessirous that says

[10:21:52] no more red shells? No more-no more red shells. Wait, wait that's not it!

[10:21:55] I mean, no more red shells!

[10:21:58] Thank you for that donation.

[10:22:01] Actually that reminded me of we have a community member

[10:22:03] who donated earlier Charles

[10:22:05] who his actual license plate member, who I actually donated earlier, Charles whose actual

[10:22:07] license plate is egg one.

[10:22:09] He got a custom license plate.

[10:22:11] That is amazing.

[10:22:13] MKBS imitates life.

[10:22:17] Now we're on Koopa Beach 2

[10:22:19] which I believe Abel still

[10:22:21] has PRB right here

[10:22:25] unfortunately, okay yeah so we can use PRB to go just a little bit tighter and go over this grass-seedweed lily pad

[10:22:32] We still don't really know what this is, it's just kind of here

[10:22:35] Not too much going on in the track, it's a very quick one to just glorify the circle and right here at the end we're gonna jump into the water

[10:22:43] Very similar to Bowser's Castle there is a finish line that extends outward

[10:22:46] And you can jump into the water and save just a little bit of time.

[10:22:51] Okay, now moving on to N64 Choco Mountain

[10:22:54] which I'm sure many of you in the audience

[10:22:56] are probably asking yourselves

[10:22:58] Will he do it? Will he do the weather tempo? I'm

[10:23:01] sorry to disappoint, there is no such thing here. For reference in Mario Kart 64 there

[10:23:06] is a glitch shortcut you can do at the beginning in order to trigger a lap count over the wall.

[10:23:12] But instead, we get to appreciate the sights of Choco Mountain

[10:23:16] in its entirety.

[10:23:18] So Choco Mountain is a very technical track

[10:23:20] especially at world record level.

[10:23:22] It's got a lot of narrow kind of pathways and not much going on at least visually

[10:23:26] So it's hard to tell where you are and what you're doing

[10:23:30] Especially with those boulders at the end,

[10:23:32] knowing like okay can I

[10:23:34] beat this boulder or should I take a wider line so

[10:23:36] don't get hit by it?

[10:23:38] And this track has seen

[10:23:40] a fair amount of strap development in in the past, I'd say five or six years or so.

[10:23:45] We used to do much easier Strat pioneered by the Scottish player Matthew Utter who is probably this track's biggest fan in the world.

[10:23:53] It's just saddest to him if he's still watching and but

[10:23:57] In 2018 a Brazilian player, Likudki, who you may know from Super Mario Bros 1

[10:24:01] speedrunning,

[10:24:04] former world record holder there,

[10:24:08] actually invented or kind of created and theorized a new strat that we use in the world record today

[10:24:11] and is able to go a whole second or more

[10:24:15] faster than the older Strat that we used.

[10:24:20] Yes, now heading into lap 3

[10:24:23] I believe there's a red shell chasing me. Actually,

[10:24:25] no, a blue shell. I just heard it.

[10:24:28] Not sure exactly where it is.

[10:24:29] Hopefully, I'm not going to be in the air here.

[10:24:32] Oh, this is tight.

[10:24:33] Nice. Hit the wall? That's okay though.

[10:24:36] Wall hits happen a lot here though. It is pretty tight track

[10:24:40] There's not a lot of room for error right here but we're gonna drive it very well

[10:24:44] And ending the run we are just going to bounce off these

[10:24:46] little mountains and very nicely done moving on we're going out to gba luigi circuit

[10:24:53] yes pda at a region circuit we call it call it LC2 because there's the second Luigi Circuit in

[10:24:59] the game and this track is very difficult especially for newer players

[10:25:04] There are a lot of off-road, a lot of difficult turns.

[10:25:07] And a fun fact about MKBS history for you

[10:25:11] this will again be on the quiz

[10:25:13] Back in the day when you played Wi-Fi

[10:25:15] You could only play on 20 of the 32 tracks in the game.

[10:25:19] And this was not one of the tracks that was included but

[10:25:22] uh...when it was picked online by people who had a special action replay code

[10:25:27] A lot of the Japanese players would refer to this track as

[10:25:29] the maze because they would always get lost on it

[10:25:34] and then we'd slowly be adopting including at domains as well

[10:25:37] yeah there's a lot to watch out for on this track. Like those puddles we come close a little bit.

[10:25:42] Aw jeez and lightning too.

[10:25:44] Yeah it was really bad weather here, a lot of puddles too. I think someone needs to put a wet floor sign here.

[10:25:48] Abel can you go ahead and press the bottom screen please?

[10:25:51] Certainly.

[10:25:53] There's our wet floor sign. As you can see

[10:25:55] the minivan looks like a man falling

[10:25:57] down.

[10:25:59] Might I add, I think that looks like a dog stretching.

[10:26:01] It's up for interpretation.

[10:26:05] If you see something there that is not the lead floor sign of a dog stretching tell us about it.

[10:26:09] Donate. We're the donation team. sign of the dog's correction tell us about it donate do the donations let us know we'd like to

[10:26:12] hear your mkds theories yep and uh real quick before we end this track uh i just want to shout

[10:26:19] out this truck for now being the only track where the dry bomber has the prb world record as

[10:26:24] we mentioned before uh donald plains one now use the egg one perprv but um this is not the

[10:26:29] only track where dryber is the fastest.

[10:26:33] Again, some really tight turns we have to really go out of our way

[10:26:35] to hold on to PRB and keep our

[10:26:37] mini-cervos as tight as possible.

[10:26:39] It's very cool to see.

[10:26:42] Mushroom Bridge here we're gonna hope

[10:26:44] not get pwned by some computers

[10:26:46] at the beginning. Luckily

[10:26:48] we are not face first in the wall today

[10:26:52] Yeah they can have a tendency to kind of knock you to the left and ruin your line starting out.

[10:26:58] So here's Ocean Bridge! It is from RMPD, and it's a little bit of a downgraded version

[10:27:05] from what you may be used to

[10:27:07] We can't drive up on the bridge and there are no

[10:27:09] secret sort-of pathways

[10:27:11] But, there is still a lot of fun driving

[10:27:13] to go on here. The cars are a little bit easier because they're all

[10:27:16] traveling in one direction,

[10:27:18] and this is actually the site of

[10:27:20] the final boss battle in the game in mission mode

[10:27:22] against Wiggler.

[10:27:25] Wait! Spoil spoilers for no one who

[10:27:27] beat all six missions!

[10:27:29] Come on! Not everyone knows

[10:27:31] that if they didn't get all three stars or

[10:27:33] just one star.

[10:27:35] It's okay.

[10:27:40] Now I'm going to get banned from the NKDS community for spoiling the game.

[10:27:45] Before we get too far with any spoilers, can I cut in with a couple special donations?

[10:27:46] Yes, please.

[10:27:48] Wonderful. We have $25 from MKDS1992

[10:27:50] that says,

[10:27:52] Hey Abel Puddings and Mikey, good luck

[10:27:54] on your run, Abel. Keep going. You are

[10:27:56] doing awesome.

[10:27:59] Can't wait to destroy our opponents at the World Championships the next week.

[10:28:01] I'm sure we will win this year.

[10:28:03] Hope to meet all you guys soon again.

[10:28:04] Much love, MKDS

[10:28:06] forever. And we also have 25 from mikey that says let's go abel this one has been so

[10:28:14] incredible much love to everyone here and just as a real quick update, we only have

[10:28:20] $3,500 left of that

[10:28:22] upgrade for the Track Radio

[10:28:24] Sunrise Fund! Let's get those donations in!

[10:28:28] Thank you

[10:28:28] Jay Glenn. I just wanted to quickly say that MKDS1992 is in fact the current world record holder on Waluigi Pinball.

[10:28:36] So do check out his run on YouTube, I believe's a 135.2 something like that yep very incredible ron

[10:28:46] is the shortcut all three left yeah i've only done it one lap so anyway.

[10:28:52] Luckily we're showing Chaco Island to you just in respect that it deserves this is a

[10:28:57] very difficult and very unlike track in this community where these bumps here kind of send you off on direction

[10:29:05] and ruin your momentum and we don't like them so luckily we don't have to talk about

[10:29:08] the track because it's already over that's the best outcome.

[10:29:13] Okay, so Bamsi Boardwalk might be fair to say

[10:29:17] for my community this is home to the unofficial

[10:29:21] or official whatever you want to call it able mascot we're going to see him

[10:29:24] right here he's present in other mario games it's bubble of the fish there he is

[10:29:31] yeah anybody uh say hi bug say hi to bubba in the chat or if you have the emote,

[10:29:36] spam it. Don't spam it too much but we love Bubba here.

[10:29:40] He is kind of a beacon of both RTA categories in this game,

[10:29:44] 32 tracks and all missions.

[10:29:45] And he appears near the end of a run

[10:29:47] and kind of cheers you on

[10:29:48] and gives you the motivation to finish it out

[10:29:51] and finish off strong

[10:29:52] and do your best.

[10:29:54] So we really love Bubba here.

[10:29:56] Absolutely, and I see that Abel has a banana right there

[10:30:00] I think we're going to try to feed Bubba really quick

[10:30:03] Exactly, I was just gonna say that

[10:30:05] Oh! That went in his mouth exactly i was just going to say that here you go bubba

[10:30:07] that went in his mouth that was insane

[10:30:11] yes uh we have to add that boba has no collision so

[10:30:14] that's why unfortunately well that's the thing though

[10:30:17] he's a very kind soul he can never hurt anyone he can't hurt anyone he's just not able to but

[10:30:22] uh that's just why we love him he's just such a supportive friend

[10:30:25] and um so we're about to finish Bansky Boardwalk right here

[10:30:28] We have one more lap up. This is a pretty

[10:30:30] difficult track. There's not a lot of

[10:30:32] room for snaking on somebody straight away

[10:30:34] It's very narrow and sometimes there's not a wall

[10:30:36] to protect us but we're gonna do to do our best, we're also just

[10:30:38] going to cut off a little bit of the corner right here

[10:30:40] and ah! Hitting him again,

[10:30:42] amazing. That'll be wonderful.

[10:30:45] But yeah besides that

[10:30:46] not too much else going on here. We will say our next track is gonna be GBA Sky Garden

[10:30:51] and we're not gonna talk too much during the race because Amble's gonna be performing PRB

[10:30:56] he's gonna be trying to do a very difficult shortcut that, oh my god

[10:31:00] Robb! That is brutal! Oh no! This is exactly why I veto

[10:31:04] Robb at the very beginning of my runs. Unbelievable.

[10:31:08] He does...he is a troublemaker.

[10:31:11] But yes, anyway

[10:31:12] we're moving on to GBA SkyGarden

[10:31:14] and Abel's going to be trying some PRB

[10:31:16] to do a very difficult shortcut

[10:31:18] so let's all give Abel the best luck he can get,

[10:31:21] and let's see some PRV!

[10:31:23] We have $32 from Enforest that says congratulations on pulling off the Mario Circuit

[10:31:27] shortcut, Abel! Best of luck to you in the rest of the run!

[10:31:31] Shoutouts to Enforest and the Balloon Battle Boys

[10:31:37] Alright, Abel has performed a shortcut

[10:31:40] Very nice shortcut

[10:31:41] Abel is going to hold PRB and

[10:31:42] hopefully do it two more times.

[10:31:45] Yeah, so this

[10:31:46] is a very difficult strat

[10:31:48] where basically Abel needs to space all

[10:31:51] of his mage heros out just right so he's releasing them

[10:31:54] right before he's about to go over all these gaps and also you know maintaining this while

[10:31:59] driving through all of these crazy obstacles across different terrain.

[10:32:04] And this is very good so far, but we have some computers that are going to try

[10:32:08] ruin our fun here hopefully. Okay. Still hanging

[10:32:12] on down the well right now.

[10:32:14] I think we're going to see it. We don't see this often,

[10:32:17] especially on able streams. It's very rare

[10:32:18] to see a 3-4-3 but here it is baby!

[10:32:20] 3-4-3 PRB shortcut!

[10:32:22] That is what we like to see!

[10:32:26] Oh my gosh, that's just incredible. Again, we don't see it often.

[10:32:28] Yeah PRV saves a ton of time in this track

[10:32:30] There's a 7 second difference between the non-PRV and PRV world record here

[10:32:36] Yeah so... difference between the non-prv and prv world record here yeah so it really is the make or break of the entire speed run because that's

[10:32:40] the second to last track, if you're on a world record base

[10:32:43] the nerves are kicking in. It is just hard for you to see but um we're

[10:32:47] now on the last track this is gcn yoshi circuit we're going to see a pme shortcut at the beginning

[10:32:51] right there very nice uh fun fact this track is shaped like Yoshi!

[10:32:59] So I think... I want to give... so this is the last

[10:33:01] track that they're on and we'll be calling time at

[10:33:03] end of third lap. But I wanna give a quick

[10:33:05] shout-out or just encourage people

[10:33:08] to get into MKDS.

[10:33:10] It's a really fun game,

[10:33:12] we have a ton of people in the community

[10:33:14] our main discourse server

[10:33:16] is Mario KartGS Network.

[10:33:18] We have people who play Wi-Fi,

[10:33:19] we have people who play time trials,

[10:33:21] we have people who do a lot of versus runs

[10:33:24] or 32 track runs.

[10:33:25] We also have a new kind of task community

[10:33:28] that's really been getting off the ground recently, thanks to all of the new discoveries.

[10:33:32] And you know there is a ton of people willing to help you. Some of the newest people, some of the best people in our community right now, joined as recently as last year.

[10:33:40] So there's really never a better time to get into MKDS

[10:33:44] and join us yourself.

[10:33:46] Yep, Inventor MKADDS stats right now.

[10:33:51] Just incredibly valuable, sentimentally of course

[10:33:53] but yeah while we

[10:33:55] wrap up this last lap I just want to give a quick

[10:33:57] shout out again to the entire community but also

[10:33:59] for me, Abel and Puddings

[10:34:01] you could follow us on Twitch. You're gonna see Abel stream on Twitch

[10:34:05] he'll play Mario Kart DS most nights, he plays it a lot

[10:34:09] And you'll also see me and Pudding stream every now and then as well.

[10:34:12] We all love this game, we're all very happy.

[10:34:13] Well, I've got to check time.

[10:35:56] Thank you so much to my co-commentators,

[10:35:58] Puddings and Mikey Law

[10:36:00] for being here with me today.

[10:36:01] You guys carry

[10:36:02] the commentary

[10:36:03] also

[10:36:05] for our host

[10:36:07] who did a brilliant job as well. thank you thank you for having us thank you

[10:36:13] i'm kds forever So, uh...

[10:36:24] I will, eh? Oh, sorry. I thought of... Hello everybody! Bonsoir from France.

[10:36:36] France has taken over Game Zone Quick at the Independence Day of course for all Americans.

[10:36:40] I've got the american

[10:36:41] flag in the back uh we will be running a truckman sunrise second track man again

[10:36:46] to be released back in 2005 that was 19 years ago time flies and i will be shortly presenting the category because it

[10:36:54] will be very packed especially on the puzzle board so we're going to play two game modes

[10:36:59] but are not very usual in the trackmania franchise which is a simulation arcade racing game

[10:37:05] we put the puzzle again mode where we will be playing through 33 tracks

[10:37:10] so trackmania is known for its in-game map editor, so

[10:37:13] this was the editor back in 2005. The goal would be to build some

[10:37:17] routes and drive as fast as possible in order to climb some meadows

[10:37:21] Right now I will need to do this

[10:37:24] puzzle part in any person so we only need to get all the silver

[10:37:28] medals and 10 gold medals but if you reach the incentive game

[10:37:32] program, I will need to get all of the medals i might come back

[10:37:34] to some tracks if the incentives made in the round the

[10:37:37] route can also change on some other tracks

[10:37:39] because we need to optimize mapping time and driving time

[10:37:42] and then we'll have a stunt portion which will be very

[10:37:45] different, and very nice! So without further ado

[10:37:49] I am ready to go in 5... 4...

[10:37:53] 3... 2... 1... Go! four three two one go so welcome to it i'm sorry to break in i have a super exciting announcement

[10:38:01] we have met that incentive we are going to do the puzzle 100 plus stunts any percent run thank you

[10:38:09] thank you very much so this track is a bit hard i'll just switch to keyboard i don't know why

[10:38:14] i will go back to my truck and get open middle because it's a bit difficult but we

[10:38:18] have already started building uh the tracks so you have different strategies that you can use

[10:38:23] i'm using the numpad to switch between blocks and it's very important to optimize

[10:38:27] building time on this category

[10:38:30] This is why it's so different from

[10:38:31] other TrackManager categories

[10:38:33] I think that I've played out a bit right there

[10:38:36] So, I'm not going to get the upper middle

[10:38:37] I'm just going to restart this one because it's a bit right there so i'm not going to get the upper middle i'm just going to restart this

[10:38:38] one because it's a bit of an easy one so i'm just putting the two boosters next to one another

[10:38:43] because oh sorry i'm a bit uh okay i need you stay focused so i'm not

[10:38:49] keeping the boosters next to one another because you would get a

[10:38:52] lot of acceleration from it and things like i am

[10:38:57] a bit um a bit sweating but this one definitely we've got some weird action with the

[10:39:03] game uh right there so you see that the island car okay let's uh let's go back into the track.

[10:39:14] And I think we got it on a win-sink only 100.

[10:39:19] So let's go again.

[10:39:24] It's not easy when you're shaking, but I will fill it in just a couple of seconds. I wasn't expecting on this track, but there is a bit too precise.

[10:39:30] There you go, we finally

[10:39:32] got it! Nice! Alright so

[10:39:34] We'll be switching to

[10:39:36] further tracks

[10:39:38] So this is divided in sections of five

[10:39:40] maps So we will be going through three different

[10:39:44] cars, right there we'll be using the strat for the Oka middle which is not intended

[10:39:49] by the developers. This is a bit of a faster strat. i will get it first right perfect so i can save up

[10:39:55] a bit of time so just bump into a wall in order to fly into the finish after that we have a track

[10:40:01] with a lot of elevation changes so we're going to use two types of blocks

[10:40:04] these uh this hill box and the straighter block so i'm just gonna place all of the dots

[10:40:11] right there and this is not the optimal path for what we call

[10:40:14] it, but this is a safe path

[10:40:16] so you really want to optimize

[10:40:18] mapping time and

[10:40:20] driving time in this category which

[10:40:22] sets it apart from all of the trackman speedrun categories and this is why

[10:40:27] i like this category so much especially for any percent where on some tracks will only place a

[10:40:32] couple blocks because it won't be enough to get a

[10:40:35] server middle requirement this one will be another track where the

[10:40:39] alpha model is a bit tricky because in attractmania

[10:40:42] you can have some um landing bugs so the game is a bit amnestic which means if

[10:40:47] you do exactly the same inputs you will get

[10:40:50] it we all get exactly the same results but sometimes again

[10:40:53] is a big mistake just like this for example there you go uh i just barely missed the jump

[10:40:58] i was full accelerating and the game decided to just make me do a front flip but this is

[10:41:04] called what can happen in this game i'm gonna do an air brake right there in order to land flat

[10:41:10] and missing it by a three hundred of seconds so we'll come back to you at the end of the total

[10:41:14] section just going through all over tracks after. After that, we will be

[10:41:18] going to another car which is

[10:41:20] the Island Car

[10:41:22] a very fast-paced

[10:41:24] car as you will see. Right there

[10:41:26] we are using concave and convex blocks just to show you that

[10:41:30] you can build transitions in trackmania this middle is very easy some of your

[10:41:35] formulas will be much harder to get which is why the incentive should have been increased by about 10 minutes.

[10:41:45] This one very easy we just want to go as fast as possible to the finish line so we're going

[10:41:49] to go into a straightest time possible

[10:41:51] two of your first checkpoints so click minutes again made of the checkpoint so you have a starting

[10:41:57] block some checkpoints and then a finisher or you can have as well multiple of

[10:42:00] finished lines and you need to get into the

[10:42:05] finish time either fast as possible this track it's very interesting because

[10:42:09] you needed to build up a specific amount of speed in order to make the jump.

[10:42:14] I'm going to play it on keyboard and not on controller right now,

[10:42:17] because i had some weird issues on controller where i lost the gear.

[10:42:20] In this game you have a gear system

[10:42:23] with different gears on regular Trackmania

[10:42:27] it's usually 5 gears but in some of these games you can have way more than

[10:42:31] five gears and usually in Trackmania,

[10:42:33] you don't want this gear when you have the gear shift

[10:42:35] Rather I was a bit unlucky

[10:42:37] I hit the finish which is not enough for

[10:42:39] the Opel at all

[10:42:41] So we'll go through it again and just release a little bit at the ending of the map.

[10:42:47] Trackrunner is a game where you can play with a wide range of input devices.

[10:42:53] Most people will play on a controller pad, but you also have a lot

[10:42:57] of competitive players that play with a keyboard with only four keys right there. I got this

[10:43:03] right here just by listening. Nice! and you can also play with the steering wheel

[10:43:07] just like granite which is a journal player that is very well known within the trackman community

[10:43:12] and right now we're switching to one of the more terrible maps

[10:43:16] in terms of mapping because you have

[10:43:18] a lot of different blocks

[10:43:20] which you place, and you have to build the smoothest

[10:43:22] path possible so that you keep

[10:43:24] contact with the ground. Because time that is not spent on the ground

[10:43:28] is time that you are not accelerating.

[10:43:32] This is going to be a bit of an unsmooth transition

[10:43:35] and I can just let my hands apart because this is a press forward map

[10:43:38] if you don't know what first one maps are in checkman these are maps with

[10:43:42] just price forward and we did some people have been able

[10:43:45] to make some crazy sense. So you've seen

[10:43:48] viral Trackmania videos on the internet, it was probably some press-forward maps

[10:43:52] This map will be very easy, only going to use four

[10:43:56] different platform blocks on the very flat surface we have it

[10:44:00] down here right there what we're gonna reuse uh right after getting through this checkpoint

[10:44:05] as we will climb up here do a bit of a blind jump just aiming for the mountain

[10:44:10] in the distance so this is set in a pacific theme you

[10:44:14] will also see some buildings as well with

[10:44:16] the island bar this car can easily slide out, so you have

[10:44:20] to be very smooth with the steering

[10:44:22] which is why controller is

[10:44:24] preferred than

[10:44:26] keyboard but on some other cars

[10:44:28] it's completely fine to play with a keyboard.

[10:44:31] So we got all of Ponegal Driver on this one, and now we'll switch

[10:44:35] to the third card of this game. This game as I said was

[10:44:39] the second TrackMinding game released back in 2005. it introduced a three

[10:44:43] new cars after the original original game back in 2003 and this is probably

[10:44:48] one of the weirdest track manager where where it slides out very easily and this car is set in

[10:44:56] the french rivera in the code dazio and yeah it's a very difficult to handle on the next track you will need

[10:45:05] to be a very precise with placing the different blocks we have six different block types but i

[10:45:10] think we're only gonna use four of them as i'm going to place all the books right

[10:45:15] there and i have to be very careful not to miss about because i will only realize that on

[10:45:20] the driving part and this will be very important

[10:45:23] on the later tracks as you'll see that we will need to do

[10:45:26] a lot of driving.

[10:45:28] Sadly in this game the pointer that you see

[10:45:30] is not removable so I need

[10:45:32] put it away from the screen if I can think of it during

[10:45:36] a run.

[10:45:37] And next track is one of the hardest in terms of mapping because you have to remember very

[10:45:42] precise sequence of blocks on where to place them.

[10:45:47] So I'm trying not to mess it up, this one should go here

[10:45:52] and this is also a hard one for the author middle so i might just

[10:45:56] try it once and then come back to it at the end of this puzzle section

[10:46:02] but if I could get it first that would be amazing. And we have time for two donations.

[10:46:08] Wonderful.

[10:46:09] I have a $1,000 donation from archive and

[10:46:14] it says the older track Trackmania games have some very

[10:46:17] interesting game modes. It's cool to

[10:46:19] see them here at SGDQ!

[10:46:21] We also have $500

[10:46:23] from Anonymous that says

[10:46:25] Trackmania or Bust.

[10:46:27] Thank you so much for those incredibly generous donations

[10:46:31] and also just very, very quickly wanted to say

[10:46:33] we have a new incentive open

[10:46:35] for our Rabbit & Steel run

[10:46:37] which is the 4-player Lunar Red Darkhouse.

[10:46:39] If met,

[10:46:40] the runners will showcase a lunar difficulty run,

[10:46:42] which was very hard of the Red Darkhouse stage

[10:46:45] after the main Rabbit and Steel runs.

[10:46:46] So go ahead and get those donations in.

[10:46:48] Back to you, Raskatz. back to your rest by two tenths but we're gonna come back to this track a

[10:46:52] bit later on but you can switch to the others

[10:46:54] uh next one is going to be only the left line on this one we're going to place

[10:46:57] a very few blocks a few blocks of any percent trust we only going to place a very few blocks uh few blocks on the any percent trust we only need to place

[10:47:01] um three blocks but just to be safe for at the 100

[10:47:06] route i'm gonna place a couple of more blocks because the first checkpoint is

[10:47:11] placed on the ground but the second one is placed in here so you do need a

[10:47:14] couple of blocks that you reach it i'm gonna have to be very careful we

[10:47:18] can't just see that right well so they're gonna have to be very careful the car just hit that right well so gonna have to be

[10:47:20] spawned and i tried to uh get it clean

[10:47:25] so that's a nice one short on this game with some um

[10:47:28] with a couple songs

[10:47:39] oh okay we got it okay and we need to finish within 15 seconds something 15 19 should be enough i don't have my last hit on the side, so I can't really check for all the times.

[10:47:43] I forgot to set that up. Now we are back to Tangram 2 which is very similar

[10:47:47] to Tangram 1 that we played before. To get the alpha medal

[10:47:51] We're going to place two additional blocks compared

[10:47:53] to the any% route which are these two blocks

[10:47:55] which will allow us to go faster into

[10:47:59] the checkpoint. This would have up to one second

[10:48:02] and I'm gonna tap the acceleration in

[10:48:04] the corner right there, try not to hit

[10:48:08] because this car as i said can easily slide out

[10:48:12] So I'm gonna release very early here and then

[10:48:15] we'll accelerate i don't think this is going to be enough for uh upper middle

[10:48:18] but we might come back if needed 2319 should be all right by a few

[10:48:23] yep we just got it.

[10:48:25] So now we can switch back to brainstorm which is going to be the fourth part

[10:48:29] of the run. We are going back into Bay

[10:48:33] Wait... did it work? Probably. We'll check. Nope! Okay I just forgot one single block right there

[10:48:43] Very important to put a red block so that you don't have the fence at the end i'm going to

[10:48:47] up stop accelerating then keep accelerating again and finish in five seconds 73 this is

[10:48:53] probably your shortest track didn't get 80 so i can retry that try to release a bit less up release boom

[10:49:00] reactivated and now you can see that it will be a bit faster 560 which is a pretty decent time

[10:49:06] and we will at the switching to a mini g3

[10:49:10] this is also a bit of a nightmare to mark you only have two different kind

[10:49:14] of blocks but you have a lot of elevation change

[10:49:17] a lot of scroll wheel

[10:49:19] usage. So I'm going to

[10:49:21] place all these blocks like this

[10:49:23] and we are only two people

[10:49:25] running this one at the moment

[10:49:27] We just optimized the building and the driving part and the fun park will live

[10:49:33] exactly in the same city uh in france didn't get to meet yet so shout out to a ventilator of course but also been running this

[10:49:42] category and some other people have also been uh running it because last year we organized

[10:49:47] a huge event for the 10 year 20 year anniversary of checkmania

[10:49:51] so yeah this license is already 21 years old maybe some of you have discovered

[10:49:54] the license through trackmania nations power which

[10:49:57] was a free to play game released back in 2008. There was also

[10:50:01] Trackmania Nations ESWC back in 2006 and now with this new track we will

[10:50:07] find a new mechanic called Tunnels So I'm just going to be

[10:50:12] very careful right there, so this is a very precision-based

[10:50:16] run. I am not very good at precision as you may have noticed

[10:50:20] on one of the first tracks, the nerves

[10:50:22] were

[10:50:24] pretty high. So number five

[10:50:27] is going to be this downhill block that I

[10:50:29] will place here. I'm going to not forget

[10:50:30] to place a block at the exit of

[10:50:34] the tunnel right there else it's not going to work there you go

[10:50:38] and now we should have more than enough blocks to get

[10:50:40] via off the middle with any percent uh you just place a bit less box in order to

[10:50:46] reduce your building time you could still get the upper middle with the n-percent trial but

[10:50:51] it's a little harder so i I'm just using this writing set

[10:50:55] so that I don't have to read this value there,

[10:50:57] and I can smash my search into the wall

[10:50:59] and then drag straight into the finish

[10:51:01] which is what we could call a war ride.

[10:51:03] It's not a vertical war ride but at least it's an horizontal

[10:51:06] wall right this next work is going to be rng first as i said this game is deterministic which means

[10:51:11] that if you do exactly the same inputs you have exactly the same results but it's a bit of a chaos theory

[10:51:17] game where if you have slightly different inputs you can add very very different outcomes which is

[10:51:22] what we could see right there i will try to get it first

[10:51:25] right so this is the next job that is going

[10:51:28] to be very hard because you have to aim pretty well and then you can

[10:51:32] you're gonna have some weird stuff happening to the car

[10:51:34] I'm gonna release a bit and then just hope to make the jump okay

[10:51:38] i made it the car is very bouncy it's a 4x4 suv

[10:51:42] uh so a familiar car but very lightweight and bouncy

[10:51:46] and the camera here is also giving you motion sickness

[10:51:49] uh on this track a lot so i hope you're not getting a dv and then we might get bunny up

[10:51:54] from the car oh no that was just a tiny no. But this should be

[10:51:59] more than enough

[10:51:59] for

[10:52:00] the ultimate goal.

[10:52:02] My bad!

[10:52:02] We missed it by

[10:52:03] 300 of a second.

[10:52:05] Welcome back to it

[10:52:05] Leica

[10:52:05] once we are done

[10:52:07] with all of the tracks.

[10:52:09] This track very, very interesting called Aim for the Top. As you can

[10:52:13] see, the finish is very high. Let me count those

[10:52:17] straight so we can use these ramps in order to get out into the air

[10:52:23] and you have the world because strategy on this track is absolutely insane it uses a

[10:52:27] bird called the uber bug which some people from the TrackManor community might know.

[10:52:32] And that is more prevalent in TrackManor Stadium,

[10:52:36] The main environment.

[10:52:38] But right there we're just going to flip into the air

[10:52:41] same here we're gonna do the same thing do uh

[10:52:44] this backflip and then go straight into a finish line

[10:52:47] on the second jump i could have gone as straightly into the finished arm but you

[10:52:50] can have as well some bugs and i decided not to risk it since

[10:52:54] i'll also wait quite a bit of time uh on the start of the run this is one

[10:52:59] of the trucks where we optimize the build the most.

[10:53:03] We only place just a couple blocks, so these are

[10:53:07] not the optimal aligns for what we call, you place almost

[10:53:11] all other building blocks

[10:53:12] but this will be moving enough to get at the uh 80 medal

[10:53:16] this game was developed by nadia i think that's a little french video

[10:53:21] um and yeah the community in this game is very nice.

[10:53:24] It's really based on a community

[10:53:28] sharing maps. We have some community website to share

[10:53:32] maps with some community competition as well.

[10:53:35] Very friendly communities so if you've never played Trackmania you can give it a go

[10:53:39] It's very encouraged.

[10:53:41] It's pretty hard to pick up game

[10:53:47] Easy to play but hard to master to be honest uh right there okay this is the booster that i need a two hour place so this is

[10:53:52] the strat that i use for 100 it's faster than any person, but the

[10:53:56] building takes a bit more time. We're going to do

[10:53:58] 180 right there and we're going to need

[10:54:00] approximately 12.03 seconds

[10:54:02] which is going to

[10:54:04] be done right so.

[10:54:06] After that, we will switch to Drunken Tunnel

[10:54:09] another map with some tunnels

[10:54:11] I'm going to enable the tunnel game mode

[10:54:14] with W key

[10:54:16] and then play this track. On this track,

[10:54:20] the World Record track is also a bit crazy because there's some Yubo bugs as well

[10:54:24] Because as you will see on the next part we are driving on grass and

[10:54:29] we are instantly slowed down by a lot i didn't land super flat so i'm not sure if this will be 80

[10:54:36] i could uh drive it again because this is a very easy map that will surely get its

[10:54:40] tip and try uh this would never happen like i would never fail it twice surely

[10:54:45] never happens with marathon runs and then i just aim straight like this

[10:54:50] get a good landing airbrake in order to stabilize the car

[10:54:53] this is very useful uh in a checkpoint again because of that button

[10:54:57] and there you go starting over half a second just by getting

[10:55:00] much cleaner landing. After that we've got the track

[10:55:04] called The Left Speed so our first strike was called The Right Speed now it's

[10:55:08] The Left Speed and same here we just going to build as much speed

[10:55:12] that as we can in an overall pattern

[10:55:15] so maybe there are some NASCAR fans

[10:55:17] in the chat and in the audience at GDQ

[10:55:19] So you can cheer if you wish.

[10:55:21] And now we're just going to try to remember where

[10:55:25] to exit, so drive smooth, exit here don't go for another round

[10:55:29] around the clock then get a mask for that jump drive on the reverse boosters

[10:55:35] getting a speed and finish of the map with at the alpha middle final map of this block

[10:55:43] will be a pillar of summer, so in this one you have

[10:55:47] a lot of different strategies to collect the checkpoints. When I discovered the run

[10:55:51] I had a lot of trouble getting the upper-middle. I of trouble to get the upper middle

[10:55:52] i was trying to get the checkpoints from uh this side

[10:55:56] up to the other side but the fastest way is indeed to get them

[10:56:00] just from top to bottom and we will have to be very careful with landing

[10:56:04] bugs right there, which can happen. Which is why I'm going to do an immediate air brake

[10:56:08] right there. Hope that I don't use a lot of speed. Hope that I make bad jump as well

[10:56:12] Nice! And then

[10:56:15] I can drop here, this is another ground jump that I will have to do right about

[10:56:19] here, try not to slide out, hope but I didn't forget any blocks

[10:56:23] and then I would be able to uh finish that map

[10:56:29] and boom all right so 24 made six with pillars of summer after that is done we can go to mystery we are back on coast baby

[10:56:40] back in france alia trance and now we have some roadblocks with holes,

[10:56:47] which we're going to use to drop down

[10:56:49] two other checkpoints at the start.

[10:56:51] I'm not gonna steer for a second.

[10:56:53] I'll just like the very first frame

[10:56:55] and then I stopped steering so that i can have a gear shift

[10:56:58] else i will lose a lot of speed because if you still bring your gear check

[10:57:02] you do lose quite uh quite a tremendous amount of speed

[10:57:05] whatever i have to be a bit careful i don't think this is going to be enough

[10:57:09] i lost quite a bit as well i still got it nice so i won't have to come back to that map simple line

[10:57:14] you have a lot of different strut on uh that one and I think the word we could try to use it with all the

[10:57:20] rules so the blocks don't directly connect into the finish okay i messed up on that part

[10:57:25] i used block number two instead of block and number, so this is why you have to be very careful with the block usage.

[10:57:32] Same here, going to steer and then not steer for about a second

[10:57:35] and keep on driving in order to get the early shift. Tap acceleration

[10:57:42] multiple times in order to not slide out as you can see even at speeds of 100

[10:57:46] kilometers per hour, you can slide out with the cost bar.

[10:57:51] This one is also very interesting. You have a lot of different

[10:57:55] solutions for the map. I'm going to get the checkpoints

[10:57:59] in this order which you will as soon see okay for that just

[10:58:03] like this like this jump down there and then so we're gonna do one two four three

[10:58:08] from right to left and i think that what we call does the opposite but this is very

[10:58:14] easy to build and to remember they're easy to start out apparently as well

[10:58:21] so here gonna be careful what we're gonna be careful.

[10:58:23] What we're going to do here is use the display to do a very fast 180.

[10:58:28] There you go!

[10:58:30] And then drive it straight into the finish line in 23 seconds of flat

[10:58:34] we got the upper middle a stretcher motif this one is also pretty cool you have two uh levels

[10:58:40] we're going to connect the two levels with the slope blocks. I'm going to place

[10:58:44] the blocks here. We're also

[10:58:46] going to place some roadblocks right there so that we can

[10:58:48] exit at the upper level to drop

[10:58:50] down to the lower level, and

[10:58:52] we're going to claim all of our checkpoints in a clockwise pattern,

[10:58:56] so first this checkpoint then this second one and beating the rod very safe right there

[10:59:02] This root block that allows me to jump down to the lower level,

[10:59:05] I could have placed one block early but then I could have gotten way more

[10:59:09] landing bugs so I'm just paying it super-suff in order to get the offer manual

[10:59:13] and then up we're just gonna get the last checkpoint

[10:59:17] and finish your map

[10:59:21] nice music out well very repetitive music sadly there's only like

[10:59:25] five or six musics I think in the game

[10:59:29] This is probably one of the most nightmare

[10:59:31] team-up as you can see we have a lot

[10:59:33] tunnel blocks to place

[10:59:35] so absolutely very easy to miss out on the one block and if you only below us

[10:59:39] 40 seconds into a run you are a very very sad trust me it has happened

[10:59:43] uh many times before when i was at this category so i'm gonna drop down a debug right there try to

[10:59:52] not forget a single one of them this one is unforgettable go this one as well. Go down into the ground

[10:59:59] surface, play some of the road dogs. Same here, the checkpoint

[11:00:03] order is not optimal for what we call but this is the fastest to build for

[11:00:07] speedrun. So usually the first checkpoint,

[11:00:10] this is the one that you're going to get straight away,

[11:00:12] that's easy peasy and then second and third checkpoints

[11:00:15] are switched on the what we call route. What we call, they go way further to the left

[11:00:20] get to the other checkpoint then will go back through this checkpoint

[11:00:24] with the corridor and I'm gonna brake right there in order not to slide out

[11:00:28] Then i can drive into the grass.

[11:00:31] So, graphics for that game are pretty good for a 2005 game.

[11:00:35] I don't know what you think in the chat. Oh! We got a nice clip but we

[11:00:39] have the checkpoint so we can immediately respond and then uh drive through

[11:00:43] the map into other finish in 38 seconds up there you go, nice.

[11:00:52] And the final tracks of a run before... Oh sorry!

[11:00:56] I started building it during my test stream so this one

[11:01:00] is called Final Speed, it's very similar

[11:01:03] to the left speed and right speed track but this time

[11:01:07] we're going to use a booster and twice in order to build momentum

[11:01:11] so I need to place all of the blocks right there.

[11:01:13] The path on this map for

[11:01:15] keyboard and controller is different

[11:01:17] because it's way easier to slide out

[11:01:19] on keyboard. So a ventilator

[11:01:21] or my friend that also ran this game was using the keyboard strap and he

[11:01:25] was using about three to four seconds

[11:01:28] and right there we're just gonna get a lot of speed up to 868 feet maximum speed in check manner is 1000

[11:01:36] kilometers per hour some people have managed to go over

[11:01:40] that limit but it's mostly one thousand and now look at this absolute monstrosity

[11:01:46] other track driver focus where we have so many blocks to play

[11:01:51] so you have to be very precise

[11:01:53] to aim pretty well which is not my

[11:01:56] best qualities in iGaming but

[11:02:00] there you go as you can see I just clicked slightly off track

[11:02:04] we'll place these blocks i'm going one two three four and then eight

[11:02:08] seven six five in other block's order so

[11:02:13] this one okay i forgot to press one block

[11:02:15] so i'm gonna have to place book seven here

[11:02:18] this is not my usual setup i usually replace the uh but number six a bit earlier but this will be

[11:02:23] absolutely fine and final bug probably back number seven not looks good! We can start driving on it

[11:02:30] And we have time for two donations

[11:02:34] Wonderful I have a couple quick ones

[11:02:35] We have $50 from Nightwig that says

[11:02:39] More Trackmania?

[11:02:41] More Trackmania!

[11:02:43] I also have $100 from RaiderMonkey that says,

[11:02:44] upgrade please and we did in fact meet

[11:02:47] that incentive upgrade so thank you all so much.

[11:02:49] We also have $50 from

[11:02:51] Liftam1 that says more Trackmania

[11:02:53] please, and a very quick

[11:02:54] $25 from HaikuTrain

[11:02:57] woo woo! That says says puzzles 100 stunts any percent incentive met just in time thank you

[11:03:06] for all of those fabulous donations yeah thank you everybody for all of the

[11:03:10] donations shout out to all of people donating to

[11:03:13] medicine and doctors without borders

[11:03:17] and boom 48 i played played it very safe.

[11:03:21] I usually drive in 46 seconds. Final map of the puzzle section

[11:03:25] we're going to drive it very safe so

[11:03:29] We only have one type of blocks on this map which are these um sloped

[11:03:33] blocks uh what because just goes through the checkpoints in a very

[11:03:38] weird order but for uh this speedrun we just didn't get the checkpoint from top to bottom so i need

[11:03:44] to count with two checkpoints two again here after four checkpoints that will drop down

[11:03:49] to a lower level start to be very about four and then either down to this level

[11:03:54] I get six checkpoints now. So one, two, three maybe you can count with me in the room five

[11:04:04] six i'm gonna break right there get the checkpoint

[11:04:07] uh after that this is a free check one so this is number two

[11:04:11] then this will be number three and we'll drop them to the final levels so

[11:04:16] these points do quick 180 and then finish the map and then we'll go back

[11:04:22] to all of them where we didn't get the off-limits so that you can complete

[11:04:26] that puzzle 100% from, hoping that I will not

[11:04:29] fail two threats and that I will be precise with

[11:04:32] the inputs.

[11:04:32] That should be around 157575 that's more than enough

[11:04:36] and four of the medals uh boom boom let's see how many maps we have remaining so

[11:04:43] we got one here and we've got one here high end news and we've

[11:04:47] got two here uh so i'm gonna start with some of the

[11:04:49] easy ones we're going to start with a double jump hoping that we get

[11:04:53] um nice bounce but need to be very precise here I hope to

[11:04:58] clean okay a lot of these kids and then how she started so if someone is

[11:05:04] opening up to the odd this will made by the creator of a trackmania elise

[11:05:10] and yeah back then they were much harder than now

[11:05:13] now in the seasonal campaigns on 2020 video formulas are 2020, the auto-medals are much easier. Except for

[11:05:19] the last campaign that just released on July 1st where we had

[11:05:23] one medal but was only met by 7 people after 12 hours

[11:05:27] if I remember correctly. so that was absolutely insane high

[11:05:30] end news is going to be a bit of trouble so what we're gonna do is do uh how programs hope that

[11:05:35] we get good rng on this one remember this is the track where we missed it by only

[11:05:40] 0.03 seconds

[11:05:42] so we'll just hope that we can get

[11:05:44] it clean. Problem with this map

[11:05:46] is that the RNG

[11:05:48] port happens after 25 seconds so that's a lot of time.

[11:05:52] As you can see we lost 0.5 second on my PB

[11:05:57] I mean my PB is 0.5 second behind sorry

[11:06:00] Really quickly just want to jump in and say we have gone up

[11:06:03] to seven hundred and seventy five thousand dollars raised four doctors without borders

[11:06:07] during this run thank you so much for all of your donations. Thank you very much, maybe we can reach 777

[11:06:14] thousand and seven hundred and twenty-seven to bring me more luck for the run but it'd be cool!

[11:06:17] Yes that sounds perfect donate for that! You can tell me when we reach it.

[11:06:23] Absolutely will. Alright, so this one we got, nice

[11:06:27] and then I think I only have two remaining which are the

[11:06:31] two orders. So we're gonna start with base starter i will

[11:06:34] have to drive very close to the wall on this one you get an 837. oh i got it first try! Let's go!

[11:06:46] Okay my start of the run was very bad especially on the second track

[11:06:50] where i had a lot of trouble but we made it nice. I'm getting more and

[11:06:55] more confident, and this one may only be 0.2. We have our goose

[11:06:59] to help us know if you're on track or not to get it. So

[11:07:03] let's go to the uptime right there. there you go, I can already save 0.24

[11:07:05] but my second half of the map was pretty good. I'm gonna full release here

[11:07:09] and tap acceleration do a turn around

[11:07:13] oh and let's slide out out okay i see that so

[11:07:15] we're gonna have to restore this is one of the pretty hard turns

[11:07:19] uh on the map after that we're going to switch to stunts which will be radically

[11:07:22] different i hope you will enjoy it okay this is not very fast okay i can get more speed

[11:07:28] from the exit should be good nice then we'll release this is one of my favorite song from

[11:07:34] the soundtrack of a game. And I tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

[11:07:38] Okay this is,

[11:07:39] this was a slide out.

[11:07:40] Can I still make it?

[11:07:41] Nope okay this will not be enough

[11:07:42] so we might restart again.

[11:07:46] Ah! Come on. Let's get it i don't have you

[11:07:55] okay okay

[11:08:04] this is not good but i'm catching up here and then i can i can get speed through here okay i'm catching up nice

[11:08:08] yeah but i want me like inside the model so Okay, I'm catching up. Nice.

[11:08:10] Yeah, but I want to like inspire them on those two that then come on,

[11:08:12] come on, I drove in all this is not going to be enough.

[11:08:15] Ah, I missing one punch now.

[11:08:18] OK, come on. Just a few attempts and we'll get it

[11:08:23] i just need to get a bit of a clean start on that map

[11:08:28] okay this is a real fix all right you don't lose me a lot of time this is a drift. It's alright.

[11:08:31] Didn't lose me a lot of time. This is very clean.

[11:08:34] Full brake then immediately steer like this.

[11:08:39] Point 3 ahead.

[11:08:43] Tap tap tap acceleration

[11:08:53] and I think we have it! Okay, puzzle part of the run is done in i don't know how many minutes and we will do a ds10 section right now

[11:08:57] which will be very different so there you go

[11:09:00] all green medals on the puzzle campaign we can

[11:09:04] go to a stance now i hope you're ready to fly high in style

[11:09:08] have uh yeasted and so

[11:09:11] we will need to get all the silver medals on this match and three gold medal as well. So

[11:09:16] the scoring system for stunts in trackman is very, very weird you have different kinds of stunts

[11:09:21] You have a straight stance just like this you can also have adi stand where i will just

[11:09:24] switch the direction at the very last moment so right there i switched from

[11:09:28] left to right at last moment but it still should as a straight jump

[11:09:32] slowly i will get the gold medal on this one because it's

[11:09:35] a very easy middle to get and just finishing right in time so you want to chain uh your

[11:09:41] stance and to diversify them in order to get as many points

[11:09:44] as possible. This one I have set up

[11:09:47] for a silver medal, I'll try to get it first try

[11:09:50] so full right, full left

[11:09:53] up and then land flat and hope to get 81 points i got more than enough

[11:09:57] almost get 81 just with that single stunt

[11:10:00] we can then go through the finish line so you have a timer if you reach the

[11:10:04] finish line after the timer

[11:10:06] You lose 10 points every second

[11:10:08] And this is the moment that I fear the most in Yataro Run

[11:10:11] A track for the chariots theory

[11:10:13] and it's the most random track you can ever think of

[11:10:16] Last time i did this category in American,

[11:10:17] I had to try it 10 times.

[11:10:19] So yeah, we'll just hope to get lucky

[11:10:21] at 100 points. I don't know

[11:10:23] if this is really good or not.

[11:10:25] We need 178. We're just going to pray to get a good or not we need one seven three eight and

[11:10:28] i'm just gonna pray to get a good second job please

[11:10:32] this piece of space and that's unlucky we have to restart

[11:10:36] probably we only got 168

[11:10:39] and this is like super random

[11:10:41] There's definitely not a step up

[11:10:43] on this you just gotta go straight

[11:10:45] and actually pick prey so if she could send

[11:10:47] some prey emotes in the chat to encourage me, maybe this would be good.

[11:10:53] Oh wait! Maybe if I get lucky with a second sprint and a finishing point,

[11:10:58] This could be 178 points

[11:11:00] i do need to go quick but we could maybe do it i just

[11:11:04] need to align myself pretty well like such

[11:11:07] can i get some good flips?

[11:11:11] I'm missing it by 8 points.

[11:11:13] I told you this track was an absolute nightmare!

[11:11:18] And this is only the silver medal, so imagine the gold and the alpha medals!

[11:11:24] The founder of the game really Edith really cooked on all of these resistant medals. Okay...

[11:11:27] 117! This is much better than what we got before. We only need 61 points, surely we'll get them.

[11:11:34] Surely we will get them. A lot of motion sickness with the camera.

[11:11:38] Oh this looks good come on!

[11:11:43] Oh it's nice!

[11:11:45] We got it! Amazing! And now

[11:11:47] we can finish just in time

[11:11:49] Okay, now we can sweat

[11:11:51] as you can see in french and

[11:11:54] now we can go to uh one of the light tracks so we

[11:11:57] go to the second section so track number four five

[11:12:00] and six and in the audience,

[11:12:04] Minneapolis maybe you can share a couple of jumps like

[11:12:11] We're going to land 540 flip

[11:12:15] If you keep on steering during the entire jump, this

[11:12:17] will be a masterjump but it's very

[11:12:19] difficult to achieve so that is why

[11:12:21] you have to stop steering most of the time

[11:12:23] So I'm just going to soon right there, so...

[11:12:25] Of course on World Record Runs they always

[11:12:27] get a Master's Stunt because

[11:12:29] we start over and over again

[11:12:31] On this one we're going to get the Gold Medal

[11:12:33] because it's very easy to get so there you go and we have one final gold

[11:12:37] middle together and after that we will only need uh the silver medals uh strats for this map

[11:12:43] are very easy if you wanted to get a gold medal as well.

[11:12:47] You have to do 180, keep on accelerating

[11:12:49] like this and get 37 points

[11:12:51] then you will stop accelerating

[11:12:53] right at the end of the booster so right about

[11:12:55] here. Keep accelerating here and then pull a 360 like so

[11:13:00] then on the booster and then finally do another

[11:13:04] 360. and this is your tutorial to get a gold medal on aquaplaning

[11:13:09] hopefully, this is enough. Yeah there you go!

[11:13:12] Amazing! Boat ride

[11:13:15] This one is also pretty nice with the Bay baker as you remember that car is very bouncy i'm gonna

[11:13:22] steer at the very last second river do a 360 hope to get enough point okay 75 points is pretty pretty good i will aim about here

[11:13:34] i think yeah this is good and i've got 97.4!

[11:13:40] Okay, so I don't have to go for the flip which is a bit orangey at the end

[11:13:44] I just barely got this silver medal. Nice! Amazing! With 7 seconds

[11:13:48] to spare. Wonderful! Just real quick wanted to break in with a 500

[11:13:53] donation from luna rexy no comment but thank you so much for your generous donation

[11:13:58] and remember uh rastats asked for that 777777

[11:14:01] For all of the luck on these runs

[11:14:03] So if you want to get your donations in for that

[11:14:05] We would love to have them

[11:14:07] Exactly. I'm going to do a hand-in-pride there

[11:14:09] So we're gonna go to the left and then upsteer to the right.

[11:14:12] Do a very nice leap.

[11:14:13] And as you have noticed these are custom cars made especially for this run by Min

[11:14:18] A lovely member from the United States of America

[11:14:21] So shout out to me if you are watching

[11:14:23] around, he made some fantastic cards

[11:14:25] I wanted Tom Card with a

[11:14:27] sunrise film because the name of the game is

[11:14:29] tracking the sun rise and look at

[11:14:31] beautiful lights that we have in the back absolutely mesmerizing

[11:14:35] lines. We get enough points on this map I could have done a 360

[11:14:40] in between the pillar and rocket but it that was a bit risky i just wanted to

[11:14:46] i get this server middle and i got gold so i'm fine with it

[11:14:50] all right this one another day car map so what we're gonna do is a full 360

[11:14:55] right there what because try to just hit uh onto the

[11:14:59] wall of the building next to you and then hope to get a lot of points

[11:15:03] okay i completely messed that up but this is 100 points so it could be good

[11:15:08] i think this would be enough let me see i need to think fast

[11:15:12] i mean 206 point this is a very clean stand yeah oh it's going to be way more than enough

[11:15:18] and then i just do another 360 at the end or this one beautiful

[11:15:23] look at this this is some t old with cars but still amazing uh flip flop or the this one

[11:15:32] coast car so i do have to break at a very specific moment.

[11:15:36] So full accelerate, then up four lees

[11:15:39] and then left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot

[11:15:41] you only do one flip.

[11:15:42] I could do two flips

[11:15:43] but sometimes they only do one and half flips

[11:15:45] and you just land on your back

[11:15:47] And then the last part is also a bit RNG so I'm going to try to

[11:15:50] get some good luck line up properly, get a good flip seems to be good

[11:15:55] Then get another flip by jumping behind and then i need

[11:16:01] uh this is what we call the turtle in checkmania in some case you can save it but with

[11:16:05] these very heavy car you cannot save it so i will have to start again

[11:16:09] they're very nice because on the stadium car you can drive

[11:16:13] on uh when you are on your back it's a very

[11:16:16] and nicer mechanic slowly as second time with the charm i just need to aim perfectly here

[11:16:25] okay maybe if i start like this and then jump like this i can flip well okay i don't have enough points so we'll

[11:16:33] have to be thought sadly i was not actually the point system so this is one of the tracks where

[11:16:39] i feared that i'm not getting it first try i knew that this was going to be one of the tracks where I feared not getting it first try.

[11:16:41] I knew that this was going to be one of the hard tracks.

[11:16:43] 76 points is good,

[11:16:45] I only need 72 points now

[11:16:48] so we'll take it very safe and then get speed here

[11:16:52] i mean just pray there you go this is a lot of people

[11:16:57] amazing what a flip 107 points nice uh and this is only silver medal so imagine what you need to get

[11:17:04] in order to get off a middle and so now we are at the six elasto tracks of

[11:17:09] the instance campaign this one pretty easy i just need to aim

[11:17:14] pretty precisely gonna do a backflip and then

[11:17:17] one of the biggest stunts so far up there you go

[11:17:20] going to do a lot of flips, I think this is an 80

[11:17:24] stunt? Maybe. Let's see...

[11:17:28] Oh! 720 almost. Now i'm gonna do another small jump

[11:17:32] like this.

[11:17:37] 274, and now I just need to jump straight into the finish, and

[11:17:39] this will be more than enough for Silver

[11:17:41] Medal. You're going to release in order not fly

[11:17:43] out of the map but don't release too early else you would just hit

[11:17:45] at the top of that building.

[11:17:47] After that we go

[11:17:49] to a medallion

[11:17:51] which is also a very easy map

[11:17:53] because you have two minutes which will be very different

[11:17:56] from the map right after, which is one of the maps

[11:17:58] that I've still missed as well. You'll see why.

[11:18:01] But this map, 2 minutes

[11:18:02] is more than enough time in order to

[11:18:04] get still the middle. So first jump we got 117 points right there

[11:18:09] one we're just going to do a classic as stand so we're just gonna

[11:18:14] change things like this i'm release, try to aim properly

[11:18:17] do the full stunts... Yeah that was not the cleanest landing you've ever seen

[11:18:21] but that will do the trick then i'm going to do a Hallyu right there

[11:18:25] and this is not going to be enough, sadly.

[11:18:28] Okay and the car is starting so that was a bit unlucky

[11:18:32] I said it was easy but then of course something that never happens before

[11:18:36] It had happened before but not

[11:18:38] no open so we'll have to decide again i can respond on these maps

[11:18:42] if there are any checkpoints but i would use 50 points for

[11:18:46] a near respawn which is uh why i didn't try it i'm not even sure if there's

[11:18:52] a checkpoint or not maybe that's one at the start of the map and i didn't really see

[11:18:55] it okay so i need to read this right now because i'm jumping super far

[11:19:00] there you go this is clean keeping one more speed than before then this value will be much more

[11:19:06] thin i'm going to stop it right there not gonna try to do another rotation but would be a

[11:19:10] bit too risky after that i can do another

[11:19:13] stunt for 70 points i guess let's do another stand here

[11:19:19] okay that landing won't be hard.

[11:19:22] Come on!

[11:19:23] Nice and we got more than enough points for Silver medal so I can just drive back straight

[11:19:28] to finish time which is right about here and now

[11:19:32] now the despair the complete despair on this track called spin hell

[11:19:39] it is literally a spin held so we will have some time to read donation in the moment but first i'll

[11:19:45] show you what i will try to do for the next three minutes on that map so first we're gonna do backflip

[11:19:50] after that is done which we're just gonna go straight

[11:19:52] and keep doing the same stuff over

[11:19:54] and over again until we have enough points.

[11:19:56] Right there I'm going to full circle left

[11:19:58] then open a good line in here

[11:20:00] a good flip

[11:20:00] And now you have time for some donation wonderful we have 20 from faulty mentality that appropriately

[11:20:07] says thank you so much for that donation we also also have $25

[11:20:14] from Tomato Walrus that says

[11:20:16] we love GDQ.

[11:20:19] Thanks, Tomato Walrus! So do

[11:20:21] we! I also wanted to give you

[11:20:23] a quick update on that four- player Lunar Red Darkhouse incentive

[11:20:26] that we opened just before this run.

[11:20:29] We already have $1,193 for the $15,000 needed for that incentive if you want to see

[11:20:36] really hard rabbit and steel you definitely want to get your donations in

[11:20:40] for that we also have a real quick 25 from beastie that says greetings from the uk second year in

[11:20:49] a row attending this fantastic event and it's always so much fun love to support

[11:20:54] such a great cause keep up the good work

[11:21:00] all right we are doing pretty good for now we need 600 points in about three minutes

[11:21:05] so i'm going to try to get these remaining 200 points very cleanly.

[11:21:09] Okay, I need to get a good landing because this car can also...

[11:21:13] Woo! Almost had heart attacks and so do you dude.

[11:21:20] Alright, okay nice

[11:21:27] now we're just going to keep on going we need one minute to get 150 points i'm the full state right here

[11:21:29] Hope to land clean here as well

[11:21:31] Okay, and now we need

[11:21:33] 40 points for Mene

[11:21:35] We should get it first try but that is absolutely

[11:21:37] amazing! We should be well within estimate despite the mistake

[11:21:44] oh we have a quick seven dollars from anonymous

[11:21:46] that says let's get a seven dollar train going to hit that 777 777 let's go

[11:21:54] i'm only missing three points for address and just one great simple jump

[11:21:58] there you go and just go straight to one of the finish line there is one

[11:22:01] located right about here and after that it will

[11:22:04] be a last three tracks uh off of the run

[11:22:08] maybe some of the viewers in the chat can donate to our 777. and this track a lot of rng especially on that fusion sometimes you get the double

[11:22:25] flip sometimes you get a simple simple clip or no feet at all i just got it clean right

[11:22:30] there i'm going to do a very safe stretch here.

[11:22:33] So this is the first car clearly not of the car made for stunt because as you remember,

[11:22:37] this is a very slow car that 190 points then this stunt will be deterministic for the end of a run

[11:22:45] just gonna hope to get a clean landing i'm going to stabilize the car as much

[11:22:48] as i can okay nice we've got enough point so that

[11:22:53] would be your first try amazing so yeah i was feeling

[11:22:56] very shaky at the start of a run i've done plenty of my little martin runs before but

[11:23:01] last one was a long time ago oh yeah you can uh you kind of need to get

[11:23:05] shaky even without the pressure of a cloud

[11:23:08] but now it's uh we are doing better and we will get the two

[11:23:12] final trucks after this run with first a press forward start but you

[11:23:18] can easily get 130 points so i just can raise the controller and not do anything

[11:23:23] and waited to get some absolute free points or maybe 273 i think no it's we'll see what's that

[11:23:31] don't you remember how many points we get it is indeed 273 points.

[11:23:36] I'm going to switch the camera right there,

[11:23:38] then we're gonna do some halyups here...

[11:23:42] Get a lot of speed!

[11:23:43] Okay, I'm gonna try to aim it here.

[11:23:46] Can I jump well? Nice! so you have different cameras in the game this was

[11:23:50] camera number three which is called interior camera this is camera number one which is uh

[11:23:55] pretty far from the car and then your camera number 2 that is a bit closer to the

[11:24:00] car. Right now the game won't say so go to the left but just to play it safe I will do

[11:24:03] a jump on this platform, so that's going to be a huge jump.

[11:24:09] Surely the biggest jump in the entire run

[11:24:13] and I could have done even one more flip

[11:24:17] and after that it's done, I can directly drop down to here

[11:24:20] And then I have more than enough points for the ramel doll

[11:24:23] and cross the finishing just like so

[11:24:28] Boom boom boom

[11:24:29] Alright, Giant pinball

[11:24:31] which is gonna be the final map

[11:24:33] There's a bit of adaptation

[11:24:35] on this map. What we're going to do

[11:24:37] is an airbrake right there just when

[11:24:39] the car becomes full backflip.

[11:24:42] I don't really remember what that was.

[11:24:47] Land flat here after that is done right there, we're just going to do a chain flip here. I can probably stop rotating here so

[11:24:52] then i can adjust and probably landing too far yet i'm gonna have to

[11:24:55] restart that was a bit too greedy right there

[11:24:57] i just got a bit too much speed so up air brake right there back flip okay this is not going to be a good

[11:25:04] backwards i'm gonna restart again but it's not press forward you really need

[11:25:09] to get a good timing very car is tilted a bit more towards

[11:25:13] the ground so that's good. Now I can land here

[11:25:17] and do very simple jumps here then. Okay this

[11:25:21] should be more than enough. just do the jump stop steering and then aim full release

[11:25:29] full full in order to land right about here then go straight switch back the camera i'm going to release here

[11:25:38] then do a 180 right about there line up the car because i need to be completely straight right about

[11:25:45] then I'm gonna break, not go on that open platform

[11:25:49] what I am going to do here is another stand

[11:25:53] so we need 828 points, so this is good. We've got 662 only one minute remaining

[11:26:03] which will be more than enough then another jump like so but it's gonna be 759

[11:26:11] need to be pretty clean here 790 and for the final huge stamp of a run uh you go you can cheer and then we will go straight

[11:26:22] into the finish line with finishing at 360. so that was Chuck McGonagall's puzzle. 100% instant and 80% valid time!

[11:26:33] I hope you all enjoyed that round despite the sloppy start, we should say.

[11:26:39] But there you go! We all

[11:26:41] finished that stream campaign!

[11:26:45] Thank you so much! Is there anything else you want to say before

[11:26:47] we go? Yeah of course I would like to shout out the entire

[11:26:49] Trackmania community. Of course

[11:26:51] at different restreams especially

[11:26:53] the French Restream where my friends Cousin

[11:26:55] and Slipthroat are commenting

[11:26:57] on the run right now.

[11:27:00] This game, I didn't mention it but this is a very old game so you can't play it on Windows 10

[11:27:04] because of some patch issues but someone made a new patch for the game

[11:27:08] and now you can download it

[11:27:10] so you can download it for free. It's one of the best Trackmania games even

[11:27:13] though it was released back in 2005, it's mostly a solo game you have the

[11:27:17] race tracks which are the normal trackmania trucks

[11:27:19] then the platform tracks where you need to

[11:27:21] finish your track with least amount of tries possible

[11:27:25] we have a lot of different platforms jumps and then you have two different game modes that

[11:27:29] very weird and unique called Crazy

[11:27:32] Extreme Rage. So yeah,

[11:27:34] a very good game! And then of course

[11:27:36] if you want to get into newer games

[11:27:38] you have TrackRender 2020 which you can try

[11:27:40] for free right now. download it either on steam or

[11:27:44] ubisoft so thank you very much gdq for having me

[11:27:47] for a third time on one of my favorite categories i hope

[11:27:51] you enjoyed it and i will see another time at Independence Day. Bye-bye!. so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so. so so so so so..

[11:43:23] at mcmustard at hotmail dot com!..

[11:43:44] .

[11:43:49] . are you ready to go It's time for Think Fast, the speedrunning game show of fast times and sharp minds.

[11:44:23] I'm your host, Corbin Maye.

[11:44:25] And I'm Smooze, also your host.

[11:44:28] Tonight, Shell's Kitchen!

[11:44:30] A delicious trivia trip

[11:44:31] through dinosaur land. Our contestants

[11:44:33] Shubda and BK.

[11:44:35] I'm sure everyone knows the rules but just to be safe

[11:44:37] this is Think Fast, the speedrunning game show

[11:44:39] our contestants will race for the best times in Super Mario World Food%

[11:44:43] And let's give up Sixth Exit

[11:44:45] Who would catch? Boost and I can interrupt you whenever we feel like it percent and let's give up six exit with the catch

[11:44:46] this night interrupt whatever we feel like to ask a trivia question

[11:44:49] if our runner answers right it will take some seconds off their final time

[11:44:53] there's no penalty for guessing wrong but focus too hard on answering the

[11:44:55] question then your run might suffer

[11:44:57] bra you lovely folks watching feel free to play along and chat

[11:45:00] how are both of you feeling going into tonight's race oh i am so excited. Hungry...

[11:45:09] ...physically and metaphorically.

[11:45:12] That's good that you're hungry!

[11:45:16] Do you want to just get into it?

[11:45:18] Let's do it. Hello, Judy-Q.

[11:45:21] Without further delay, it is time to think fast in 3... 2... 1...

[11:45:26] No no wait wait wait! Hang on hang. We gotta talk about the food percent.

[11:45:32] We can do that during the beginning of the run? You got this?

[11:45:35] No!

[11:45:37] Oh okay.

[11:45:38] We have to do the ritual showing of the wares.

[11:45:43] So hello GDQ!

[11:45:46] Many years ago two speedrunners by the name of Brams and Isofreeze came up with what's called Super Mario World Food%

[11:45:54] The premise is there are all these food named levels in the game

[11:45:57] And every time you beat a food named level, and you have to beat them all

[11:46:00] You eat the

[11:46:00] food associated with the level um for example when you when you beat

[11:46:05] a level in donut planes, you must eat

[11:46:09] a doughnut. A full-sized donut. No donut holes,

[11:46:12] no miniature donuts.

[11:46:14] When you beat

[11:46:16] Soda Lake, you unlock the ability to

[11:46:18] drink a 12 ounce can

[11:46:20] of soda and you can only eat or drink

[11:46:23] on the overworld. And this

[11:46:25] can be drank on the overworld but it must be done by

[11:46:27] end of the run.

[11:46:29] For vanilla dough

[11:46:31] you must drink one teaspoon of vanilla extract or uh water bridge is

[11:46:41] one of my least favorite parts of the run.

[11:46:43] For each Butterbridge level, you must consume 1 tablespoon of butter.

[11:46:49] For a Cheese Bridge area...

[11:46:52] ...you must eat one thing of string cheese. For Cookie Mountain, you must eat

[11:47:01] one big cookie. This cookie is large, it's 6 inches in diameter

[11:47:06] For Chocolate Island you must eat one square of chocolate

[11:47:13] Cannot eat in levels? Must visit every food theme double

[11:47:17] must eat the food item on the overworld after getting each exit and every food

[11:47:22] this comes out to about three thousand to 3500 calories of food depending on the details

[11:47:30] that's bad literally do not try this at home please don't all right i'm ready without further delay it's time to think fast in three two one go 3, 2, 1, go!

[11:47:48] Alright.

[11:47:56] And in Super Mario World fashion you begin by waiting for the uh...

[11:48:00] ...the pe detect to scroll by

[11:48:09] okay so yoshi's island you need to eat a Yoshi right?

[11:48:11] Yep.

[11:48:15] I mean you could eat an egg! That's like a Yoshi thing too.

[11:48:22] True but it's not immediately food-themed level.

[11:48:26] Yeah that's true.

[11:48:33] If you were doing Food% with Yoshi's Island specifically would you have to eat an egg for every level? I don't want to think about that.

[11:48:37] Egg is not a terrible idea.

[11:48:43] Adding 3 eggs to the run? That's not awful, that's doable.

[11:48:45] Some people whenever they

[11:48:47] watch us do this

[11:48:49] suggest really inane things that are not humanly possible,

[11:48:52] and we have to tell them to do the vanilla run first

[11:48:55] and then talk about what they think is feasible.

[11:49:00] I wonder how well this could be expanded to other Mario games.

[11:49:04] I took a poll and shoved this chat earlier about whether I should do all the speed strats that I know for this game,

[11:49:12] And I'm extremely rusty. Like several years

[11:49:13] rusty. And her chat

[11:49:15] decided that I should just go all out and

[11:49:17] have no regard for marathon safety.

[11:49:19] So that's going to be cool.

[11:49:24] Thanks, chat. Thanks for having us chat. It is worth noting that food percent

[11:49:37] Is actually vegetarian safe

[11:49:39] I don't believe it's vegan

[11:49:41] Safe though there is like vegan butter

[11:49:43] You can use so I think technically it is, but

[11:49:45] it was made... Yeah, it shouldn't

[11:49:47] be too hard to make this vegan friendly. Just replace

[11:49:49] all the dairy stuff with like the vegan

[11:49:51] equivalents.

[11:49:53] Yep. Yeah, because when you have butter and a cookie and chocolate I guess.

[11:50:05] Cheese. Cheese.

[11:50:07] Yeah.

[11:50:09] That's not too bad.

[11:50:13] Are there any levels with flour in the name?

[11:50:16] Not in this game, no.

[11:50:18] That's surprising.

[11:50:19] Neither is spelling a flower.

[11:50:22] It's like if you had that

[11:50:23] then you're actually pretty close

[11:50:25] to having... You're like getting there to the ingredients

[11:50:28] to make a cake. I would much rather eat some kind of flour than

[11:50:32] have to eat raw flour, that's just me.

[11:50:36] You shouldn't eat raw flour anyways

[11:50:40] that's absolutely right that's one of the trivias

[11:50:43] don't eat raw flowers should you eat raw flour? Yes or no.

[11:50:52] Do you have an actual food trivia for us this week? I can get you an actual food trivia.

[11:50:57] Gimme a second.

[11:51:01] During the autoscroller? Alright.

[11:51:03] What popular chain used to be named Southland Ice Company and Totem Stores?

[11:51:13] I have absolutely no idea. Is this a Midwest thing, Shubt?

[11:51:16] Is this familiar to you?

[11:51:18] No, but it is... it's on the right track

[11:51:29] it sounds familiar but yeah I'm completely blanking

[11:51:32] There's a reason we asked this today

[11:51:34] Today is

[11:51:38] 7-11

[11:51:39] That's correct

[11:51:40] Thank you There you go. That's correct? Okay.

[11:51:47] Hooray!

[11:51:56] Happy 7-Eleven, all those for Silver. Those of those were celebrating them until 1946 when the chain rebranded their stores to 7 11 to reflect these 7 a.m to 11 p.m hours seven days a week.

[11:52:06] Which are not their hours anymore, I don't think. Probably not.

[11:52:08] I don't think so!

[11:52:10] I feel like the ones that I've been to have been opened later.

[11:52:15] Yeah... Yeah. It should rename to just 24

[11:52:19] That's probably copyrighted by something, by the show

[11:52:23] 1212? that's probably copyrighted by something by the show 12 to 12.

[11:52:25] 12 12. 12 12? That's pretty fun

[11:52:32] Take a mic check.

[11:52:45] Have you died yet, BK? Yeah in the second level trying to do box jump.

[11:52:47] Oh okay. That's it then.

[11:52:49] I died in the first level.

[11:52:51] I'm sorry.

[11:52:53] That's okay!

[11:53:00] How many exits are going to be done in total? I believe 44.

[11:53:04] That's a good number.

[11:53:05] Yeah, definitely one of the categories.

[11:53:11] You won't see 44 in the save file after you reset there because the last exit does not give a save prompt.

[11:53:34] The one before it does though which is Choco Port How did you die in the first level, Shepton?

[11:53:36] I missed box jump.

[11:53:37] That's my excuse.

[11:53:42] I wasn't fully paying attention and I ran into a Koopa? You know what, that's fair.

[11:53:44] Everyone has been there. I've told people from my work that this is happening, and I hope they watch and have immeasurably more

[11:54:01] respect for me as a result.

[11:54:06] I forgot to eat a

[11:54:07] donut.

[11:54:12] Actually, I forgot to eat a donut actually, I forgot to eat two

[11:54:12] so

[11:54:13] shall we say

[11:54:14] after this exit

[11:54:15] I just

[11:54:16] pump three down my throat

[11:54:17] on the overworld

[11:54:17] is that cool with everyone?

[11:54:20] We'll save it

[11:54:21] for a trivia question for that yeah you gotta clear the backlog

[11:54:28] um in fact maybe well maybe we'll maybe

[11:54:31] we have some donut questions planned. Who could say?

[11:54:33] I don't know, do we?

[11:54:36] I mean, I guess we'll just have to find out.

[11:54:39] If the hosts would like to keep us on task for eating the food, feel free.

[11:54:44] The reason I don't have

[11:54:46] world record is because I forgot a vanilla

[11:54:48] shot during my otherwise world record run.

[11:54:52] That is

[11:54:52] a tragic reason to lose it.

[11:54:54] Yeah, I was never more upset with myself than that.

[11:54:57] Who decided on vanilla extract and not just like something reasonable

[11:55:02] like vanilla ice cream?

[11:55:04] Bramsen ISO freeze 2 vanilla superfoods reasonable vanilla ice cream.

[11:55:05] Brams and I are so free as two vanilla Super Mario World

[11:55:07] runners of old.

[11:55:09] Yeah, I guess they're a big fan

[11:55:11] of vanilla Super Mario World.

[11:55:13] Alright, so I need three doing three here we go all right while you're doing that

[11:55:21] what is the world record for most powdered donuts eaten in three minutes?

[11:55:26] Oh, wow.

[11:55:27] Seven.

[11:55:29] Three minutes?

[11:55:30] Higher.

[11:55:30] 30 minutes.

[11:55:31] In three minutes.

[11:55:32] I'm going with 17.

[11:55:34] Lower than that.

[11:55:35] 15.

[11:55:37] Lower. that. 15 13

[11:55:39] 14

[11:55:41] 12

[11:55:43] 9

[11:55:48] I think i can do that.

[11:55:50] Powdered is...

[11:55:51] Well, that's a donut every 20 seconds.

[11:55:53] Yeah, that's hard.

[11:55:55] Non-powder donuts? Maybe.

[11:55:57] Powdered doughuts? Wild!

[11:56:00] For those wondering who it was by, it was by

[11:56:02] LA Beast.

[11:56:04] Everyone knows who that is.

[11:56:08] We have a beast in our community i don't think he does that though he does other bc things yep

[11:56:15] i don't think he's uh ever consumed that many donuts. I could not. I...

[11:56:33] That's a lot of donuts. Oh, that was too much donut.

[11:56:46] Um a month or two ago? I did a 5K race

[11:56:52] sponsored

[11:56:54] by the donut place

[11:56:56] in my town. And halfway through

[11:56:58] the 5K you had to eat a dozen donuts.

[11:57:01] That's not easy.

[11:57:02] I got through like

[11:57:04] nine in like 15 minutes.

[11:57:06] I've done both of those things independently

[11:57:08] I would not want to intermingle them under any

[11:57:10] circumstances. Yeah, yeah

[11:57:11] I don't think I could and you had to do it

[11:57:14] all in under an hour which i was like oh that's easy i can do a 5k in like 35 40 minutes easily

[11:57:18] i could probably get those donuts and then you get there and it's like no no i can't all right as soon as i finish this third one come down back Alright.

[11:57:35] As soon as I finish this third one,

[11:57:36] we're going back into the game.

[11:57:43] You kind of forget how quickly you get through the levels and donut planes which makes eating

[11:57:46] the donuts a little more like trepidatious yeah that wasn't the right word yep all right Alright, alright. Here we go. Back at it.

[11:57:59] I would be interested...I wonder if you were allowed to eat during the levels?

[11:58:04] Currently.

[11:58:10] I wonder what the meta would become in terms of like tool assisted eating mechanisms like a root goldberg machine that's last length of the level.

[11:58:19] Just have someone shove it in your mouth while you play?

[11:58:20] True.

[11:58:22] Well, then it's a co-op run.

[11:58:24] There's actually a co-op run for this already

[11:58:26] which is just each person needs half the food

[11:58:29] more or less

[11:58:29] because some levels have only one thing.

[11:58:35] That seems...

[11:58:39] I like that there's

[11:58:41] an entry-level category.

[11:58:45] Can I propose an extreme food percent?

[11:58:47] Which nobody should do. so for example you cleared donut planes to

[11:58:52] need the two donuts from that level no i'm not yeah i don't know. This is not medical evidence.

[11:59:02] So speaking of a dozen donuts

[11:59:04] there's a mythical version

[11:59:06] which nobody has completed and only one person

[11:59:08] has attempted all 96 exits.

[11:59:11] So right now we visit for example every donut level but we don't get every

[11:59:14] donut exit since the rules just say you need to visit every donut level once. But at 96

[11:59:18] you actually have to get every donut exit.

[11:59:20] Which, fun fact, brings it up to a dozen donuts and...

[11:59:24] One person has tried and failed. No one's ever done one.

[11:59:28] Cause it already is what? 8, six or eight. I forget.

[11:59:32] It's like eight or nine.

[11:59:34] Okay. You know that doesn't seem that much more but then it is when you think about donuts.

[11:59:40] The challenge becomes like geometrically increasing effort. but then it is. It's not... When you think about donuts

[11:59:42] The challenge becomes like, geometrically increasing after a point

[11:59:45] It's not in here all the way

[11:59:50] Are you allowed to choose the type of donut, or does it need to be plain? As in the name.

[11:59:54] Any full-size donut.

[11:59:57] So my strat is jellies and creams just to make it a little more liquidy, so it's not as dry.

[12:00:07] There is a question in chat that I did not enjoy of

[12:00:09] can the foods be blended?

[12:00:12] Nope. That's good.

[12:00:19] I'll do another donut question.

[12:00:21] Aside from Dunkin'

[12:00:22] and Krispy Kreme, what three brands sell the most donuts in the United States?

[12:00:27] Oh gosh.

[12:00:30] Walmart, Kmart, 7-Eleven?

[12:00:34] No. None of those!

[12:00:36] I just guessed like big retailers?

[12:00:39] These are distinct, like, confectionary...

[12:00:42] I see.

[12:00:44] ...somethings.

[12:00:45] I struggle to think right now, which is the point of any other dedicated companies who even make donuts.

[12:00:57] Ummm... um

[12:01:02] yeah i'm completely blanking too

[12:01:13] so one of these like donuts are is the thing I would think of them as their main thing. Two of them...

[12:01:15] It's a donut.

[12:01:17] I've definitely had donuts that they've made, but these are all like donuts you would get in the grocery store.

[12:01:23] Yeah, all pre-packaged stuff.

[12:01:27] I'm sitting in sugar and filth in my office chair.

[12:01:35] We're only 13 minutes in.

[12:01:44] We have fun here! How you doing, Sheldon? Doing alright?

[12:01:46] I'm good.

[12:01:48] I hear you're consuming a donut Alright, so one of these three is... what's a hit we can give that doesn't give it away?

[12:02:11] I'm all for giving it away.

[12:02:13] Are any of them... Let's start there.

[12:02:18] Wait, what does that mean?

[12:02:20] That is the term for like donut companies?

[12:02:25] One company's probably most known

[12:02:27] for their cupcakes.

[12:02:29] Hostess? That one.

[12:02:31] Entenmanns? That's one. That's not a bomb! No.

[12:02:32] Entenmanns?

[12:02:33] That's another.

[12:02:34] That's another one!

[12:02:35] Oh, um...

[12:02:36] You got this.

[12:02:37] I don't remember which exit goes where, which means I am at risk of having to eat an extra donut if I get it wrong.

[12:02:56] YOLO. I like that while this is happening, chat is talking about whether or not you can get drunk off of the lag.

[12:03:10] Yes! It's the right exit! The third one is more famous for Cosmic Brownies.

[12:03:21] Cosmic Brownies?

[12:03:22] I've had those recently.

[12:03:27] Oh, Little Debbie! Yeah there you go. That's right!

[12:03:31] Running for BK time for Sheldon

[12:03:33] There is a

[12:03:35] significant drop off after those three with tasty cake and dolly madison selling

[12:03:38] significantly less what is bone matters of the united states i don't think it's that one.

[12:03:50] Alright, I'm out of jellies, switching to creams.

[12:03:55] They're owned by Hostess.

[12:04:00] That's cheating.

[12:04:02] That does feel like cheating.

[12:04:04] They are most well known for, like...

[12:04:07] promoting themselves via

[12:04:08] peanuts

[12:04:09] like the comic strip

[12:04:13] okay

[12:04:15] today I learned

[12:04:16] tasty cake I have heard of though. We have a donut trivia now.

[12:04:35] I think we only have those two, right?

[12:04:38] I think there's one more!

[12:04:39] Is there another one?

[12:04:40] Oh yeah, third one! That's so much, that's so much donut.

[12:04:44] I could be wrong but I thought we had a third one.

[12:04:48] We gotta do all the donut trivia when we're in Donut Plains.

[12:04:53] I've got two donuts left.

[12:04:55] Also, nobody knows this one.

[12:04:57] Well... maybe our contestants will? You don't know!

[12:05:01] There's only one way to find out

[12:05:05] before rebranding to duncan donuts and subsequently duncan

[12:05:08] the original store name focused on its coffee with what name?

[12:05:21] I just want to hear your best ideas for a coffee shop name at this point

[12:05:27] it changed the name 74 years ago so you're not expected to actually know

[12:05:31] this to actually know this.

[12:05:44] And it also lasts him for two years. So, you know, well-known stuff.

[12:05:59] That's some good ones beans that's a good one just like in the 40s.

[12:06:07] Oh, let's go to all beans.

[12:06:11] I like that. Get being an idiot.

[12:06:15] ... idiot

[12:06:21] dr robotnik's mean bean machine

[12:06:25] that's my that's my idea, no one can take it.

[12:06:28] Yeah I've never heard that before, that sounds good.

[12:06:42] Is the door still open? The donuts don't taste good anymore.

[12:06:46] I'm so surprised!

[12:06:52] Just in case anybody watching was curious. See, you gotta make it sound awful so you discourage chat from doing it at home.

[12:07:01] Somebody with a very low tolerance to sugar,

[12:07:03] I am like getting a headache thinking about it, so...

[12:07:13] Alright well, Alright, well... I don't think anyone's gonna get this one.

[12:07:15] This is very difficult.

[12:07:17] It is Open Kettle

[12:07:19] Started in 1948 Rebranded to Dunkin' Donuts in 1950. So, you know, I'm kind of surprised that he didn't know that. Everyone knew the original store in Quincy Mass Back in the 40s.

[12:07:34] I was not gonna get that one.

[12:07:37] Yeah, I've definitely never heard of that.

[12:07:49] If the Hypertext Coffee Proc Control Protocol was released today it would be called Open Kettle. That's a good reference. Shoutouts to IETF, April Fool's RFCs.

[12:07:55] We asked that question last episode.

[12:07:58] Oh, Last Donut!

[12:08:00] We're always asking about...

[12:08:02] ...HTC http control cases their status codes yeah

[12:08:11] good luck on the last donut. Thank you, I'll need it.

[12:08:16] I'm fond of the TCPIP over carrier pigeon...

[12:08:20] Over avian carriers.

[12:08:21] I love that one!

[12:08:24] Also TCPIP connoisseur as the text goes yeah also tcp i think all programmer jokes should be bird theme

[12:08:30] this plays to my interests There was a Kaizo mod released recently, and one of its cape levels was called RFC whatever number that was

[12:08:52] No the cable

[12:08:56] Alright so for Morton's Castle you have to have a bunch of salt right?

[12:09:02] That's not a bad idea but no. Fortunately...

[12:09:05] I think it is a bad idea i think it's a bad idea

[12:09:08] i mean you don't have to you don't have to have a bunch of salt

[12:09:10] you could just you know have like a sprinkle one grain of soul

[12:09:13] which is thematically correct unfortunately we

[12:09:16] we have nothing after Morton.

[12:09:19] It's a break before the hell that is Vanilla Doom.

[12:09:27] So this... I've just consumed like 80% of the calories of the run. That's all Donut Plains.

[12:09:34] I'm actually gonna close my Donut Box here. The rest of the stuff is like...

[12:09:38] Yeah really it IS surprisingly

[12:09:40] front-loaded huh? I guess

[12:09:42] that's good?

[12:09:44] The rest of this stuff is gross but

[12:09:46] not as fun.

[12:09:48] Um...the great thing about this run is that all the serious Super Mario World runners hate it and won't do it or can't do it,

[12:09:58] And it's just us DJens who don't like really run vanilla Super Mario World,

[12:10:02] Who can put the food down.

[12:10:04] And if there is ever a person who can do both they will just bury this category.

[12:10:12] So if you're like grinding out like pbs

[12:10:14] so if you're like grinding at like pbs

[12:10:14] so if you're like grinding at like pbs you just order like eight dozen donuts

[12:10:16] you just order like eight dozen donuts

[12:10:16] you just order like eight dozen donuts and just hope for the best oh god

[12:10:20] that's the interesting thing about this

[12:10:21] that's the interesting thing about this

[12:10:21] that's the interesting thing about this category. You can't really practice it.

[12:10:26] Like, imagine getting to you know, the level that I'm on right now and you die

[12:10:31] And you're way behind pace.

[12:10:32] Reset. Eat another 8 talents.

[12:10:39] I can't think of what games

[12:10:41] you could do a similar thing in

[12:10:42] that would be

[12:10:43] perhaps slightly less

[12:10:46] oh no.

[12:10:48] Like, Quartz been running the Fresh Hops

[12:10:50] Mario

[12:10:53] SMW Kaizo? And that one seems fun! I would do that.

[12:10:58] Actually, I don't know how many eggs it's turned into. Maybe that will be a bad idea too, I'm not sure.

[12:11:03] The donuts are done. No more donuts ever never eating another drone

[12:11:07] congrats thank you it's a rematch next month

[12:11:13] i can only think of one way to celebrate.

[12:11:16] Please no more donuts?

[12:11:18] And that is Mario trivia.

[12:11:20] Alright, thank god.

[12:11:24] What is the name of Yoshi's Topsy Turvy outside of North America?

[12:11:29] I don't even know what that is inside North America.

[12:11:32] I love this one.

[12:11:34] The Yoshi's Topsy Turvy, you like tilt...vy has a tilt sensor.

[12:11:37] Yeah, it's a GBA game.

[12:11:40] My sister had it. It was actually pretty cool.

[12:11:45] There is like a Kirby one, I think.

[12:11:47] They use the same thing?

[12:11:48] Tilt and tumble, yeah.

[12:11:49] Yeah.

[12:11:50] Is it Yoshi tilt and tumble?

[12:11:52] No.

[12:11:53] It is not.

[12:11:55] It is way weirder, Dave.

[12:11:58] It is a very weirder name. It is a very, like... pretentious name.

[12:12:02] Kind of.

[12:12:03] It honestly rules!

[12:12:05] It's so funny!

[12:12:06] It's kind of a meme?

[12:12:10] Which is why I thought of it. Just because it's so like... quite...

[12:12:17] It very much sounds like

[12:12:19] Like an 18th century

[12:12:21] Physicist would have named it this

[12:12:24] Um

[12:12:24] Like they discovered

[12:12:26] A true fact about the Mario universe.

[12:12:34] Alright, are we ready to start the vanilla?

[12:12:38] Nope.

[12:12:39] No?

[12:12:41] Nope. No?

[12:12:47] It burns so good!

[12:12:51] You think you could do like a Celeste all red berries run.

[12:12:54] And just eat 200 strawberries.

[12:12:58] Oh that sounds good actually, right now. Alright. Alright, Yoshi's Topsy Turvy outside of North America is Yoshi's Universal Gravitation.

[12:13:08] Yeah! So good!

[12:13:12] What?

[12:13:13] Yose.

[12:13:16] Yeah, I think there's like a popular meme where it's two kids and one is like

[12:13:20] Oh boy, I can't wait to play Yoshi's Topsy Turvy

[12:13:22] And the other one is like, oh boy I can't wait to play Yoshi's Topsy Turvy

[12:13:23] the other ones like

[12:13:24] Mother. Bring me...

[12:13:26] Yoshi's Universal Gravitation

[12:13:28] I must play

[12:13:37] But the game is good. Would recommend. mm-hmm

[12:13:52] hey you know i like it despite reading the rules in this recently i did forget for a second that it is not in fact a shot of vanilla extract, because that's what you all kept saying.

[12:14:01] It's just a tablespoon.

[12:14:03] How many ounces in a tablespoon?

[12:14:08] A third? Is the tablespoon one ounce?

[12:14:10] Two. So it is... so six

[12:14:14] Wait, yeah, so six tablespoons is a shot.

[12:14:17] One tablespoon's one half of an ounce.

[12:14:21] Yeah, so it's two tablespoons per ounce.

[12:14:23] And a shot is usually three ounces right? Or is it four?

[12:14:29] Three, right? It's like three right like one and a half

[12:14:32] but you're getting teaspoons right

[12:14:45] it is one and a half all right never mind let. I'm completely wrong. So how many vanilla extracts are there? Is it six?

[12:14:49] Sorry man, I can't do math right now. My mouth burns.

[12:14:51] It's MORE THAN THAT!

[12:14:55] Let me go to the paste bin.

[12:14:57] It's like an ounce and a an answer, which is still a lot

[12:15:01] so it's nine

[12:15:06] I think it might be 10 because you have

[12:15:07] to do one of the levels twice. Oh, it's 1 fourth teaspoon!

[12:15:12] That's not a tablespoon, that's a lot less.

[12:15:16] It is not in fact three shots

[12:15:18] of Vanilla X-Packpack that's what i was concerned about

[12:15:26] personally i think the vanilla shack burns very good after the donuts.

[12:15:31] Nope, it does not burn as bad. I don't like it.

[12:15:34] Have to do it again.

[12:15:42] Speaking of vanilla... It's dripping all over my desk.

[12:15:46] Vanilla comes from what family

[12:15:50] of plant? Vanillin.

[12:15:55] I think that's the

[12:15:57] chemical that gives it its taste.

[12:15:59] Oh yeah, you're right.

[12:16:16] ... the burn burn burn plant mixing up One Piece references with this. Gumbu gumbun no planto? Yeah...

[12:16:19] Sheff knows, she got up to

[12:16:20] episode 18 before quitting.

[12:16:25] It's not somehow part of the, like,

[12:16:27] cocoa plant is it? Your

[12:16:29] cocoa family? No.

[12:16:31] Yeah okay. It's kinda like a normal

[12:16:33] flower. Oh, spoilers

[12:16:36] that is a flower but

[12:16:44] It's kinda like how strawberries are in the Rose family.

[12:16:49] Are they?

[12:16:50] Yeah.

[12:16:51] The only clue I know how to get for this is Dota theme.

[12:16:57] So, I'm not gonna give a hint.

[12:17:05] At least it's fast! It's faster than a door.

[12:17:10] That's true!

[12:17:16] Um... Alright, so

[12:17:20] What is even up here?

[12:17:22] Yeah I mean this is another instance where if you could

[12:17:24] consume during the levels

[12:17:26] it'd be interesting. You could have like a camelback. You got to repeat her

[12:17:33] yeah i would not be able to focus on any like mentally intensive

[12:17:36] strat while my throat is being burned by a vanilla extract.

[12:17:44] This...

[12:17:47] this is a wonderful experience, I hope y'all are having fun i'm glad we're here

[12:17:57] oh it's on my mask now cool

[12:18:05] ah It's on my mouse now. Cool. Only two more, only two more.

[12:18:09] This is not a lot faster than the donuts.

[12:18:12] It's true.

[12:18:19] Yeah, I don't really have much for what this is. Apparently it's a cosmopolitan plant that

[12:18:25] is found in every habitat on Earth except glaciers. That obviously narrows it down.

[12:18:30] Interesting. It's the dandelions. Obviously there is a down. Gandalions?

[12:18:58] What else is there about this flower? I don't know. Any botanists? this it is the orchid oh yeah

[12:19:03] orchid okay fortune.

[12:19:04] Okay.

[12:19:09] Vanilla means little pod.

[12:19:13] Makes sense.

[12:19:18] That sounds Italian or something then.

[12:19:22] Hold on... Someone check Adam online?

[12:19:26] Spanish! What does the word vanilla come from? Vanish! From Vanilla. Meaning little pod.

[12:19:32] Don't continue that sentence. Okay!

[12:19:39] Yeah, that analogy is

[12:19:41] definitely

[12:19:43] interesting.

[12:19:45] Anatomical imagery. knew this i knew actually that one from latin class

[12:19:53] butter

[12:19:56] butter are we on butter now?

[12:19:59] Is it time for butter trivia?

[12:20:00] I think

[12:20:01] we're taking a different route from one another.

[12:20:05] Yeah, do all of the top before going

[12:20:07] back into Vanilla Dome.

[12:20:09] You can save vanilla for later then how many liters of milk does it make

[12:20:13] does it take to make one pound of butter

[12:20:17] 16. yours 16

[12:20:20] Cure!

[12:20:25] 12

[12:20:28] Cure 9 4 You are? Nine.

[12:20:30] Four!

[12:20:32] Ten!

[12:20:36] And for that, ten seconds to BK!

[12:20:41] Yay... 10 seconds to BK. Yay! I only got it because

[12:20:43] I'm flying over a level.

[12:20:45] I don't know if we have any more butter questions,

[12:20:47] It was kind of hard to find butter trivia.

[12:20:49] That's fair.

[12:20:52] What's your favorite type of butter? I hate

[12:20:54] butter.

[12:20:55] Is margarine

[12:20:58] accepted for the category?

[12:21:05] That's not true, I only hate butter today.

[12:21:10] Usually I like some nice salted butter and some bread.

[12:21:13] Butter definitely seems like the worst part

[12:21:21] but i guess there's because how much is it i guess you don't have as much better right yeah no the original rules stipulated you uh

[12:21:25] you take quote a sizable chunk out of a stick

[12:21:29] of butter sizeable and we were like this is one

[12:21:32] problematic and two it's subjective so we're just not going to do that

[12:21:39] oh magic cooper get out of here magic could be get out of here i need to get in this door.

[12:21:47] The good news is I'm done with butter for the run

[12:21:51] Very happy about that

[12:21:55] Kind of a a time machine to go back to Nintendo in the mid-90s,

[12:22:00] and be like... early 90's,

[12:22:02] it'd be like hey do you wanna name a single one after a vegetable please? Yeah this is what we need in Mario. Vegetable themed lands.

[12:22:19] Exactly!

[12:22:22] Are there vegetable-themed Mario stages? Surely yes right?

[12:22:26] There's a bunch of bunch in SMB2

[12:22:28] US but

[12:22:29] nothing has names, right?

[12:22:32] There's no overalls.

[12:22:36] Newer Super Mario Bros. DS has

[12:22:38] Pumpkin Boneyard, according to

[12:22:40] the newer Marios. This is a

[12:22:42] real thing. Um,

[12:22:44] Super Mario Land 2 has pumpkin zone.

[12:22:46] Yeah. You know what I wouldn't give for some pumpkin right now there's also mario zone so do with

[12:22:52] that way you will if we were to do new Super Mario Bros. U,

[12:23:00] you would need to eat an acorn?

[12:23:04] A layer cake?

[12:23:08] Um... a giant skewer? So that's like a kebab.

[12:23:15] Um...

[12:23:21] I guess that's it.

[12:23:23] Not as bad!

[12:23:25] Galaxy, you have good egg

[12:23:27] You need to specifically have a good egg

[12:23:29] not a bad egg. Okay.

[12:23:32] There's sweet-sweet galaxy... I feel like that's an easy one

[12:23:36] Where you just eat two sweets, I guess?

[12:23:38] Bad Egg would be more interesting

[12:23:40] You wait for one to spoil them

[12:23:50] whatever the definition of bad is please no i don't like that uh fun fact at gdq i did have a candied pinecone. So I did succeed at

[12:23:53] whichever game that was.

[12:23:57] You said

[12:23:58] pinecone, right?

[12:23:59] It was an acorn. Acorn.

[12:24:01] Maybe it was...

[12:24:02] Whoops, I got them mixed up.

[12:24:04] That sounds very

[12:24:06] Minnesotan.

[12:24:08] Thank you, Minnesota.

[12:24:10] So for Galaxy

[12:24:12] you would also need to have Honey for Honeyclan Galaxy.

[12:24:16] Something with Goldleaf for Goldleaf Galaxy.

[12:24:22] Snow Caps for Snowcap Galaxy.

[12:24:29] That's good. I'll do that i think that's it you need to eat a frozen flame Oh, sorry.

[12:24:40] It looks like Galaxy 2 is just mostly honey.

[12:24:43] Very honey-themed in Galaxy 2.

[12:24:46] Alright, what did I just... Cheese Bajorana.

[12:24:49] Sunshine would be actually fun.

[12:24:52] Gelato?

[12:24:53] Gelato?

[12:24:55] Corona? the beer.

[12:24:59] That's it!

[12:25:01] That sounds great!

[12:25:05] I could go for that. That'll get me running, Sunshine.

[12:25:08] Be right back.

[12:25:12] I've never had cheese that was more delicious in my life than just now.

[12:25:16] What kind of cheese is on the docket for this?

[12:25:19] It's just some mozzarella string cheese.

[12:25:24] But after everything else, it's so good.

[12:25:33] It's like getting out of a 30 year stint in prison and just

[12:25:37] rolling around in the grass.

[12:25:43] Yup, exactly like that!

[12:25:47] You're a poet, you understand the power of figurative speech, Shonda?

[12:25:52] I absolutely do. It's true.

[12:25:58] I said figurative speech because I forget if that's a simile or metaphor.

[12:26:03] One of them explicitly uses like, or as...

[12:26:06] Simile uses yeah.

[12:26:08] So that was a simile not a metaphor bram's whole mario galaxy all the moons at fall food

[12:26:17] brands uh who co-created this category just fell in

[12:26:21] that one tile hole during i think it was a 960.

[12:26:23] Either a 96 or a 960.

[12:26:27] And so we named after him and that's the Brahms Hole.

[12:26:30] You can simply hold B to run over it but brahms did not

[12:26:36] a 960 by the way is where you do 96 exit 10 times in a row

[12:26:42] did you know that they wouldn't let us add food percent to the SNW category extensions because of leaderboard integrity?

[12:26:49] Wait, it's on there though.

[12:26:50] It is now.

[12:26:52] That's good.

[12:26:54] I'm glad it's been free.

[12:26:55] I just reported a small donation to the community prize pool.

[12:26:59] Now you gotta do a 10x food percent.

[12:27:03] Speaking of SMW, you want to give us a question that might break the question viewer?

[12:27:08] Oh boy this might break the question viewer.

[12:27:11] What are the entries in the SMW Central Hall of Fame Class of 2023.

[12:27:18] 2023?

[12:27:20] One of them's Frog Soup.

[12:27:22] That's correct.

[12:27:23] Frog emoji, soup emoji.

[12:27:26] What else came out last year?

[12:27:30] I could give you a 2018 one because I wrote the review for it.

[12:27:36] This is something they should technically know because i'm on the committee

[12:27:39] that votes for them but right now i'm so full of garbage that my mind isn't working.

[12:27:54] Oh yeah, so since I beat Soda Lake I'm unlocking my ability to drink the soda

[12:27:56] but I am not yet drinking the soda

[12:27:58] but I can now if I want on the overworld

[12:28:03] that's good you don't have to do it all at once

[12:28:07] just trying to think what else came out last year

[12:28:12] that was good because a lot of things came out last year just not all of them were great

[12:28:18] i say this as an smw central moderator we both are Um...

[12:28:32] Nonsense, maybe?

[12:28:34] That's another one.

[12:28:39] How many are there?

[12:28:44] There should be like five, right?

[12:28:45] There's eleven.

[12:28:47] What?

[12:28:52] And I'm shocked that they are showing up correctly on our question display.

[12:28:57] It looks good! All right.

[12:29:11] Should we start giving hints?

[12:29:13] Yes please.

[12:29:15] One is a misspelling of a unit.

[12:29:19] Yeah I guess so.

[12:29:25] What?

[12:29:26] A unit used in electrical engineering!

[12:29:29] Oh, OHM... O-H-M, yeah.

[12:29:33] Well that's not the name of it though.

[12:29:36] It's an enneagram.

[12:29:46] Oh, it's O-M OMH right? Yes.

[12:29:47] Yeah.

[12:29:48] Next tip!

[12:29:50] What?

[12:29:52] That is the mid-quo. There was a hack called R-Ack,

[12:29:56] and then the midquel is

[12:30:00] OMH so it spells out ROM Hack when you put them both together

[12:30:04] Ohhhh Does he put them both together? Oh.

[12:30:12] Next hit, dystopian novel sequel. What? 19. what 1985.

[12:30:19] the sequel to a famous dystopian novel it finally came out

[12:30:25] 2023 finally came out 2023

[12:30:36] one of them is a Minecraft block.

[12:30:38] That narrows it down.

[12:30:40] That's true! Another one is what this might become by hour two into this.

[12:30:56] I already guessed nonsense, though.

[12:30:58] No, it's already... we're already there. I already guessed nonsense, though.

[12:31:01] No, it's already... we're already there.

[12:31:07] Oh hey one of these is food related.

[12:31:09] Oh no. I'm looking at the water across from me and i'm filled with dread

[12:31:16] is one of them um what's it called?

[12:31:23] I'm blanking on the food name.

[12:31:30] It's not nachos and fried oreo, it's an older hack.

[12:31:35] Those sound great separately. separately

[12:31:46] all right cookie down oreos with nacho cheese is apparently good but i do not

[12:31:51] personally believe it all right are we going All right.

[12:32:15] Are we calling it, Swiss?

[12:32:17] I think so.

[12:32:19] That'll be 15 seconds for ShubDip

[12:32:20] for getting three of them.

[12:32:22] The rest of them are Brave New World 2

[12:32:23] Cold Sweat and Tears, Day at the Turkey Races, Faraday Near Dismay, Mycelium, Seek to Discrepancy, Tired Mario World and Throop-a-Dool.

[12:32:39] I probably spelled that wrong.

[12:32:44] Yeah, that should have been...

[12:32:50] Last bit of vanilla here.

[12:32:53] Okay it only kind of broke the question, did it?

[12:32:58] Yeah, it broke it a little bit but it did pretty good given what we threw at it. I'm impressed.

[12:32:59] Good job Question Bureau.

[12:33:02] Truc Badoul by the way is French for thingy.

[12:33:06] Yep. Oh! the way it's french for thingy yep

[12:33:19] get in my belly, okay.

[12:33:32] What if you just have Yoshimi perfect for you?

[12:33:38] That is the best idea I've heard so far today that would probably be good

[12:33:40] is that like google system it might be we kind of missed a window for this one

[12:33:45] but we can do it now what is the most consumed type of cheese

[12:33:49] in the world mozzarella that's correct that was

[12:33:54] at the exact same time got it yeah so you both get 10 seconds

[12:34:03] what is the least consumed type of cheese in the world? Oh no, there's more vanilla. I forgot

[12:34:05] this path is also vanilla.

[12:34:10] Um

[12:34:10] Blue cheese.

[12:34:12] Would be my guess, but it's probably not.

[12:34:16] Sardinian maggot cheese?

[12:34:20] I hate that it exists.

[12:34:22] Would you like to put a buck on the one US bell?

[12:34:30] It's illegal here, I think because of the maggots yes something with uh

[12:34:40] creatures in your food not being legal, I mean come on. I'm going to go ahead and do that. If you could eat these foods in any order, what would you pick?

[12:35:20] Honestly the order isn't super bad. Maybe spread the donuts around.

[12:35:28] But, um... Yeah, the fact that the calories go down towards

[12:35:30] the end is good at least

[12:35:32] I think so.

[12:35:34] Um there's a route you can take, which is the

[12:35:37] route that I'm taking where you unlock the soda right before

[12:35:42] the big cookie and so you don't have to eat a big

[12:35:44] cookie drive. That's really advantageous for me i always do that when i run this

[12:35:53] yeah i'm pretty indifferent to the order as well i just go

[12:35:56] with what it then if if i had to like come up with my own order

[12:36:00] it might be donuts last just just get it done all at once but at the end. Makes sense.

[12:36:19] Do you think we should add had this in mind while making the game?

[12:36:23] 100%. Alright, I have unlocked my soda.

[12:36:33] Oh! Soda? We've so many soda questions.

[12:36:36] Let's ask a soda question.

[12:36:38] What was the original name of Pepsi?

[12:36:43] Pepsi Cola?

[12:36:45] It is completely unrelated to the word Pepsi.

[12:36:49] Okay. Unfortunately... to the word pepsi okay unfortunately um oak sucks It was named after a person.

[12:37:13] Dr. Pepsi!

[12:37:17] Dr. Pepsi would be pretty good.

[12:37:21] I need to make sure to cap the original name

[12:37:23] yeah

[12:37:26] i could go through some of this Alright, actualized vanilla?

[12:37:46] This was...

[12:37:48] Pepsi under this name was originated 131 years ago and it went about as 1890s

[12:37:54] As you would expect for the original name.

[12:37:56] It was very uninspired.

[12:38:02] Good Cola Company?

[12:38:07] It is even less inspired. Mr Cola

[12:38:12] It doesn't even reference that it's a cola.

[12:38:17] Baron Munchhausen.

[12:38:23] No, that's not it. I feel it in your voice.

[12:38:27] No!

[12:38:33] I'm dying. Oh my- holy crap

[12:38:48] thank you bk for what that made me lose it. Oh, okay.

[12:38:56] I don't know how we get more hits for this one, Swiss.

[12:38:58] Uh, you know.

[12:39:03] The answer is Brad's drink.

[12:39:05] You would not have gotten that in one year.

[12:39:07] What was it?

[12:39:08] Brad's drink.

[12:39:09] Oh.

[12:39:14] It's funny because the person who created it,

[12:39:18] his last name was Bradham, not even his first name

[12:39:22] all right so it's just part of your last

[12:39:25] names drink

[12:39:26] yeah good for you i'm a big fan of

[12:39:29] brad's drink.

[12:39:34] It's a fun name, they should bring it back You know how they do like...

[12:39:36] Retro?

[12:39:38] Yeah, bring back Brad's drink

[12:39:42] I'm all for it. Ready with another soda naming question? For some reason

[12:39:46] we have more than one! Sodas have rich name history.

[12:39:50] What was the original

[12:39:53] name of Pib Extra?

[12:39:57] Does it still have something to do with Pib?

[12:40:01] No, it does not not more closely related to a different soda

[12:40:11] bonus pepper

[12:40:14] pretty close that is the correct reference.

[12:40:18] Ah, this sort of makes the butter

[12:40:20] just a little bit less bad.

[12:40:28] Just a little bit less bad. Just a little bit less bad.

[12:40:56] Um... better pepper! Better Pepper. It was also not, please Mr. Pibb is my father, call. Pibb is my father. Call me Poob.

[12:41:01] Unfortunately... That's the next one.

[12:41:03] Alright butter.

[12:41:06] I ain't that eye! Um... I think that they should follow Pac-Man naming after Mr. Pibb, Miss Pibb, Pibb.

[12:41:18] Pibb World 2

[12:41:22] Pibb Jr

[12:41:27] Pibb Champion Edition DX.

[12:41:32] Oh, I hated that.

[12:41:38] And I can't tell if you all are tied.

[12:41:41] It's hard to tell because we took a different route, I think.

[12:41:45] Yeah.

[12:41:46] Exactly.

[12:41:48] But I can say the original name of Pib Extra was Peppo.

[12:41:52] It was changed to Mr.Pib after Dr. Pepper sued for trademark infringement.

[12:41:58] Oh, no! infringement

[12:42:10] at this point how many food-related stages are even left?

[12:42:14] Is it just the chocolates?

[12:42:16] Um...

[12:42:17] Yep.

[12:42:18] Just the chocolate.

[12:42:19] So really, the food part of the run is over and it's up to how we play the game after this.

[12:42:26] More or less.

[12:42:31] Shubzit did you get Ludwig Cycle Skip?

[12:42:34] No. I'm going into Ludwig right now actually

[12:42:39] Cycle skip! Alright, if any of my...

[12:42:44] I just got it.

[12:42:46] If any of my SMW

[12:42:48] Vanilla Runner buddies are watching

[12:42:50] that was for you.

[12:42:56] ... for you. I'm gonna, I'm gonna drop my soda

[12:42:58] as soon as we get onto the overall

[12:43:00] and then just got my

[12:43:02] chalky bits.

[12:43:05] When we were at SGDQ, at some restaurant Shubda ordered chalky milk verbatim

[12:43:10] and we laughed at her

[12:43:12] then the waiter came in and said here here's your chalky milk, ma'am.

[12:43:17] That's true.

[12:43:18] Was it good? That's good. It was very good.

[12:43:31] You know, do you know how many cocoa beans are required to make one pound of chocolate for use in Choccy milk?

[12:43:32] 64.

[12:43:33] Right.

[12:43:34] So does that.

[12:43:37] 128. 128.

[12:43:39] Even more!

[12:43:43] More and it's not a multiple...

[12:43:45] It's not a power of 2.

[12:43:47] Oh, 200...

[12:43:50] 4

[12:43:53] 2000

[12:43:56] Less 500 less one thousand less 500. was that but wait 500 i said 1500 yeah it's

[12:44:06] less than both.

[12:44:09] That's it?

[12:44:10] Correct!

[12:44:12] Nailed it first try.

[12:44:26] Again during a flyover. I don't think you need an entire pound of chocolate to make chalky milk, but... I could. That would be more like...

[12:44:29] It depends on how much you're making!

[12:44:30] Like milkish chalky. You have to invert the adjective in noun

[12:44:34] And add milk to your chocolate? Yeah

[12:44:38] 🎵 him Are we approaching a point where we can take our first break, by the way? Um...

[12:45:07] How long of a break are you thinking?

[12:45:10] Just five minutes. Give the people time to go to the bathroom.

[12:45:15] That's going

[12:45:15] to be in

[12:45:16] like 15-20 minutes, I would estimate.

[12:45:22] If that's too long then we can figure something out earlier.

[12:45:25] That should work. I mean, we could just pause at the same time and resume at the same time if needed?

[12:45:30] That's kind of what I was, uh...

[12:45:34] What we usually do.

[12:45:46] Are we like 15-20 minutes from the end of 3%% yeah that's what my estimate is based on I did not know we were that close this is going surprisingly well all things considered

[12:45:59] for me anyhow and there's a lot of things to consider the donuts printer

[12:46:08] just consider the donors

[12:46:17] a fun fact last time we raised food percent we had a third participant named Link.x2 who decided to

[12:46:19] in order to make the

[12:46:21] food go down better, especially

[12:46:23] the donuts, decided to do jumping drags.

[12:46:26] That was not a good idea. Oh! to do jumping drag It's going to send a trivia question.

[12:46:41] Let's do the Mario one. Which games were released in honor of Luigi during the year of Luigi?

[12:46:54] New Super Luigi U.

[12:46:57] That's one.

[12:46:59] Was there a Luigi's Mansion like this? Luigi U. That's one. That's one?

[12:47:02] Was there a Luigi's Mansion 3 or something like that?

[12:47:03] There was one of them.

[12:47:06] Dark Moon?

[12:47:07] That's right!

[12:47:10] Was there more than those two? No, That's right. There are two more now.

[12:47:18] Ooh, where is the nearest cape? Might be the checkpoint in FLY1. I have to do Roy Fly.

[12:47:27] I have to do Roy Fly for the vanilla speedrunners of this game, my brethren.

[12:47:33] I have to show them respect.

[12:47:35] I'm gonna do Roy Fly.

[12:47:37] Don't you worry fellas.

[12:47:45] Just gotta get this cape.

[12:47:54] There are two more Luigi games! games the one where he's sucking up ghosts no

[12:47:57] but that one's older

[12:47:58] right

[12:47:59] that wasn't already said yeah Yeah, that was something he just mentioned.

[12:48:06] Alright here we go.

[12:48:20] So... so yeah one of them is part of a long-term luigi related series and the other one is a luigi version of a game that used to have Mario when it's time.

[12:48:27] A pretty old game at that.

[12:48:31] It's not like Luigi is missing or something, is there?

[12:48:36] No but that would be awesome if they made that. You know what?

[12:48:38] That's most of our right flight. We take those.

[12:48:40] Oh yes.

[12:48:42] Woo!

[12:49:03] Woo! um i'm thinking i'm just I'm good. There's also like technically one extra bonus but not really

[12:49:14] Since this is

[12:49:16] technically a speedrun I should take a minute to talk about the actual speedrun tech that I performed there.

[12:49:21] There's a very long blocksnake ride through the castle which is the intended solution and it saves like...

[12:49:26] ...I don't know, a minute if you just fly through it like that.

[12:49:31] You gotta time the initial fly in particular because there's

[12:49:35] that cluster of photobows which will get you

[12:49:37] And what you want to do is you want to dive at about

[12:49:39] the fourth column in the background,

[12:49:40] that's the visual cue

[12:49:41] that most runners use.

[12:49:49] As a reminder, we are doing this as fast as humanly possible.

[12:49:52] Sometimes we forget that in the midst of eating all of the food. What is the current world record of food for slack?

[12:50:05] For this category?

[12:50:07] Yes.

[12:50:08] Shovita has, what is it? Like high 130s.

[12:50:12] Yep, something like that.

[12:50:14] Oh this is very good pace then!

[12:50:18] My almost world record where I got disqualified for uh what do you call it missing a vanilla thing when

[12:50:24] i eat chocolate permission the thing of vanilla was a 134 so all right I'm not sure what the game is about, but it's a pretty good idea.

[12:50:50] The other ideas for Luigi games?

[12:50:57] I am blank and only had the two in mind.

[12:51:05] Close,

[12:51:06] that was the year after.

[12:51:09] Dang. The one in the series, that same series

[12:51:11] is getting another game this year.

[12:51:17] No, no game this year. It's not a Mario and Luigi

[12:51:20] game, is it?

[12:51:21] It is!

[12:51:24] God, which one came out that year?

[12:51:27] Inside Story?

[12:51:29] No.

[12:52:00] Partners in Time partners in time partners in crime I always forget this one exists. Another piece of chocolate. Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be able to get this unfortunately.

[12:52:10] It is Mario and Luigi Dream Team!

[12:52:13] Dream team... okay, dream team.

[12:52:15] And the last one is Dr. Luigi.

[12:52:19] There was a Doctor Luigi?

[12:52:21] I did not know either of those.

[12:52:23] Yep, it's just Dr. Mario but Luigi's there and there's like another mode that works.

[12:52:27] Where do you go to medical school?

[12:52:29] Um... Is it accredited? Where do you go to medical school? Same thing as in Reddit.

[12:52:30] Is it accredited?

[12:52:31] Yeah, maybe.

[12:52:34] The little bonus one was like Luigi Bros that's in Super Mario 3D World.

[12:52:40] That's kind Super Mario 3D World. That's like, kind of there.

[12:52:44] They also took over a CTA train here in Chicago and called it the Luigi Line

[12:52:50] And I would have counted that.

[12:52:54] My favorite game was The Train.

[12:52:55] The Train?

[12:52:58] I never got to ride the Luigi line.

[12:52:59] I'm very sad about it,

[12:53:01] but I never will because Nintendo's too cowardly in the year of luigi again they

[12:53:03] knew it was too powerful we need more year of nintendo mario

[12:53:10] we're over due for like what what if we What if they make a year of Toad?

[12:53:15] There's so much to Toad games.

[12:53:17] Yeah, we had Captain Toad

[12:53:19] Exactly!

[12:53:21] And that's it Yeah I guess that's it?

[12:53:26] Yeah, I guess that is it. What year of Daisy? Give Daisy some names

[12:53:30] That is 20 seconds though

[12:53:32] for Shubton.

[12:53:34] There you go.

[12:53:52] Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and New Super Luigi U. Speaking of Daisy and her only appearances ever... That's true.

[12:53:53] Which sport has the most games with Mario in the title?

[12:53:58] Tennis?

[12:53:59] It is tennis.

[12:54:00] That's right!

[12:54:02] And for Shubda, there are eight Mario Tennis games,

[12:54:05] golf is second with seven

[12:54:06] as nes open it's called mario open golf in japan and there are six mario and

[12:54:11] sonics at the olympic games i guess olympics would have been

[12:54:16] third place I guess Olympics would have been a weird place.

[12:54:21] Yeah, that's a lot of tennis.

[12:54:25] All pretty good games too.

[12:54:28] Then there's Ultra Smash

[12:54:34] Hey, no, 7 out of 8 ain't bad

[12:54:40] i never played aces i don't know if that one was good

[12:54:44] it was okay it was it was just okay

[12:54:55] i wish they were like i wanted to do another oh that was really good sports rpg nintendo they're so good almost fell in the dunkachino pit shout outs to truman shout outs to gim gim now Shoutouts to GimGim now.

[12:55:16] And yeah, for purposes of the question Mario Kart does not count

[12:55:24] It's like technically a sport but like

[12:55:59] i was interested in the question as well. chalky island 2. Mushbert can be found only in what Mario spin-off game?

[12:56:03] Mushbert? The character Mushbert?

[12:56:05] The character Mushbert.

[12:56:07] That sounds made up.

[12:56:09] Are you sure that I know some of this?

[12:56:11] I feel like this game was made up.

[12:56:33] Super Paper Mario? No, no. uh super paper mario no Um... It sounds surprisingly familiar.

[12:56:36] It really does, but like when you figure out the game it's from

[12:56:40] it probably won't. Fair.

[12:57:05] Music oh If it helps at all, a mushbert is a known fan of the hit TV show Toad Force 5 and enjoys finding collectible memorabilia from the show.

[12:57:08] Is it a Toad's treasure trove?

[12:57:10] No

[12:57:12] Was the question a Mario game? I guess that's not technically a Mario game, right?

[12:57:15] Yeah, this is specifically a Mario spinoff

[12:57:17] Let's see Yeah, it is specifically a Mario spin-off.

[12:57:24] We blocked Doopin', by the way... and I ran out of shell

[12:57:26] to block Doopin'. why are you duping i had to get a cape yeah all right so so I'm still thinking.

[12:58:09] Is it the Mario game for the Virtual Boy?

[12:58:12] No.

[12:58:14] It's after the Virtual Boy.

[12:58:16] After the Virtual Boy...

[12:58:20] Before the switch.

[12:58:22] Nice, easy ramps.

[12:58:34] Choco Fort All right, I'll chug them for you. Ahem! I'm going to do a lot past this level let's say

[12:58:59] for me

[12:59:03] i believe the series this isn't this game is part of,

[12:59:06] like side spin-off series has like 14 games in it.

[12:59:10] If that helps at all?

[12:59:16] I might be slightly off. It's at least

[12:59:18] 13.

[12:59:20] It honestly might be more.

[12:59:22] There is a Mario side series

[12:59:24] with 13 games and there's a

[12:59:26] he said toad bird mushroom one two three four

[12:59:34] five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 games in this series.

[12:59:41] If you include the one that is to release later this year.

[12:59:46] What? Really? later this year. apparently. My goodness. Um,

[12:59:58] all right.

[12:59:58] Uh,

[12:59:59] uh,

[13:00:00] Paper Mario 64.

[13:00:02] I wish there was

[13:00:03] Paper Mario does not

[13:00:04] have 19 games.

[13:00:05] I want to live

[13:00:07] in the timeline

[13:00:08] you're living in.

[13:00:09] I was figuring we were counting all of the RPGs as one series for a second. I I have no idea though, unfortunately.

[13:00:33] Some moles fall on you from the top. Don't get hit by them.

[13:00:38] You made a mental out of that but that will be my best.

[13:00:43] Mushbert is from Mario Party Advance.

[13:00:47] Oh no! Yeah, that is familiar.

[13:00:57] Apparently at the end of the game it is said he outgrew Toad force 5 and started watching koopa quest Apparently there's a quest in Mario Party Advance where you have to go to Mushbert's

[13:01:20] apartment to get a rare Toad Force 5 DVD, but he doesn't really care about giving them away as

[13:01:26] he has 49 more. And then after completing the quest you find out that only 50 of

[13:01:30] the dvds are made so it is implied that much has all of them a true fan honestly

[13:01:36] mario party vance one of the worst rated mario party or worse rated mario games

[13:01:41] of old time you're gonna be coming up on time for me as soon

[13:01:46] as I finish eating

[13:01:46] this piece of

[13:01:47] chocolate.

[13:01:58] Yeah, I think we need a year of mushbert. I agree. The world is ready!

[13:02:04] They're gonna be coming up on time for me too, after overworlding eating this piece

[13:02:09] of chocolate.

[13:02:10] Time and world record.

[13:02:12] Congratulations on the World Record for food percent live here.

[13:02:18] Live World Record

[13:02:19] on Judy Carey.

[13:02:20] Actually, we have never had that happen

[13:02:23] on our show where we try to make people

[13:02:24] mess up their runs by giving them trivia questions.

[13:02:27] I don't think we've ever had a PB before.

[13:02:30] Time and PB.

[13:02:32] And we've had two.

[13:02:33] Double PB!

[13:02:36] Actually,

[13:02:36] since this was close,

[13:02:38] we're supposed to add up the quiz bonus.

[13:02:42] Yeah! That's true! Let's see...

[13:02:46] This might be one of you getting world record but the other

[13:02:50] one running the race which is a wild thing to have happen on our show

[13:03:23] I guess if you want to submit this

[13:03:25] to the leaderboard.

[13:03:27] Despite not winning the race,

[13:03:29] you do have a world record.

[13:03:30] Normally we joke about people submitting their trivia

[13:03:34] adjusted times to the leaderboards and like oh you get more record if you submit your

[13:12:30] Nobody has to eat anything this time and they got through the last one so quickly that we have extra time.

[13:12:36] So he changed the category to 100%.

[13:12:38] A lot of not giving up.

[13:12:40] If you forgot how the game works, it is not enough to simply beat

[13:12:43] the game the fastest our runners are answering our trivia questions as they play and the more

[13:12:47] questions they get right the more seconds to take off their time all of you watching at home feel

[13:12:51] free to continue playing along in chat how y'all feeling after race one and before race two?

[13:12:58] Good, I assume.

[13:13:00] Pretty full, yeah. Took a bit out of me.

[13:13:05] Y'all just want to get right into Let's Give Up?

[13:13:08] Sure.

[13:13:10] All right, and without further ado it is time to think fast in 3-2-1 go! 3, 2, 1, GO!

[13:13:24] So tell us about this Super Mario World fan game game oh so i made this and the lore is fairly concise here's yolo yasi

[13:13:34] chan an icon of the speed running and modding community.

[13:13:40] And he doesn't think Mario's endeavors worth it,

[13:13:42] and he advises Mario to just give up.

[13:13:44] More on that later.

[13:13:52] I mean, honestly,

[13:13:54] I'm here for it. If it sucks, hit the brakes.

[13:13:56] You can just leave.

[13:13:59] There are two people that I know of who have quit this hack and have kept up with the yellow

[13:14:04] yasu chan's advice to them among the maybe 100 i know here finished it they're the only people who got the true ending yeah

[13:14:21] so i assume shop is doing the same route as me.

[13:14:24] But if not...

[13:14:26] This is post-game content and for routing reasons

[13:14:29] I am probably choosing Lys is also doing it first.

[13:14:34] So this trick where you toss an item

[13:14:37] and try to keep the light, which is what I'm trying

[13:14:39] to remember how to do here

[13:14:41] is actually pretty tight because

[13:14:42] we need to do it within a 7 frame window which starts at 9 frames after a kick pump.

[13:14:49] And since this game runs at 60 frames per second, that's you know like tens of milliseconds.

[13:14:54] It's not great there. I pulled one off, I have to do three of those without dying

[13:14:58] to beat this fight and also not collide with these

[13:15:02] boos in the Boo-Ring.

[13:15:09] I guess worst case, you could always just take your own advice.

[13:15:11] Could.

[13:15:14] Already clenched that one war record today and could just quit while I'm ahead.

[13:15:16] Can you just get another world record?

[13:15:19] Not happening, uh, World Record has two deaths for this category

[13:15:24] And I have died several times.

[13:15:34] Ask Two Scott a trivia question for us?

[13:15:37] I do.

[13:15:41] What is the name of the bulldog mascot

[13:15:45] of Mug Rootbeard.

[13:15:50] I didn't know that had a name.

[13:15:52] Uh, Bully.

[13:15:53] Dog.

[13:15:56] That was very close.

[13:15:57] Close? It's not just dog is it

[13:16:03] one second for some of that oh my donuts are coming up

[13:16:13] i'm actually like the like the don draper meeting when they came over that genius advertising play So as BK alluded to, we start with the hardest levels in this category.

[13:16:33] You're going to see a lot of deaths to start off and then it's gonna level off before getting hard again at the end.

[13:16:39] But uh... This level is pretty good. getting hard again at the end but uh this level's a levels pretty tough a lot of capes it seems oh

[13:16:46] this is uh this is a cape mod so everything is i see, you know, dog.

[13:16:52] Dog from Mugger Beer has lore.

[13:16:55] Oh, OK.

[13:16:56] How can we tell this story on tech that PepsiCo dot com?

[13:17:01] Who is the dog is more than just a mascot he's the beloved face of

[13:17:05] the mug root beer brand solely focused on one main mission of seeking satisfaction

[13:17:10] in the form of mug group dog. Dog is bold and determined,

[13:17:13] but also loves to relax

[13:17:14] and socialize with people.

[13:17:16] Despite his rough strong exterior

[13:17:17] dog is an emotional character

[13:17:19] who just wants to feel comfortable

[13:17:20] and loved.

[13:17:23] I feel like I'm reading a hand generated text to feel comfortable and love

[13:17:28] i feel like i'm reading an air generated dating profile

[13:17:34] that's you got like a dm that just says all that

[13:17:43] so next time you look at what group here now you know dog just wants to be left

[13:17:46] that was such a mug moment we all shared ask those who makes mugroot beer.

[13:17:57] Pepsi?

[13:18:00] What is the name of Pepsi's competitor to the Coca-Cola Freestyle Machine?

[13:18:06] The what?

[13:18:08] I honestly did not know they had one.

[13:18:11] I didn't know they have one either.

[13:18:12] So you know the Coke Freestyle Machine?

[13:18:17] No... style machine? Like, create your own Coke

[13:18:19] flavor thing.

[13:18:21] Kind of?

[13:18:22] Yeah.

[13:18:26] Pepsi has their own version of it what is its name

[13:18:33] the fc creator now pepsi go

[13:18:39] pepsy girl would be a pretty good uh mobile game i think so

[13:18:52] i would not have guessed this one if you, to be honest. Imagine that Pepsi was a roguelike deck builder.

[13:18:57] Sway the Pepsi!

[13:19:00] Quite the opposite.

[13:19:02] No, kind of the opposite.

[13:19:06] It is Pepsi's fire.

[13:19:10] Oh wow as Pepsi Spire. Oh, wow.

[13:19:12] 10 seconds for Shabda.

[13:19:15] I feel like Coke Freestyle

[13:19:17] is a much better name.

[13:19:18] Oh yeah, 100%.

[13:19:20] But Pepsi Spire Oh yeah, 100%.

[13:19:23] Pepsi Spire sounds like...

[13:19:29] Like what their headquarters should be named. Meet me in the pepsi spire apparently there are 3148

[13:19:36] pepsi spire locations in the u.s i've never seen I have never seen one either.

[13:19:42] Where are they?

[13:19:44] Apparently, Subway.

[13:19:47] Except...

[13:19:47] Never mind.

[13:19:48] It has served in many subway locations

[13:19:50] in various countries.

[13:19:51] In the United States,

[13:19:52] most that are under contract with

[13:19:53] Coca-Cola do not use this." Well yeah obviously but...

[13:19:55] Okay well... So subways

[13:19:57] that are contracted with Pepsi I guess?

[13:20:01] Interesting explains why they're receiving them Yeah and Interesting.

[13:20:06] And they have Mug Rupir

[13:20:08] They have Sobe Lifewater

[13:20:18] and Dole Kiwi Cocktail, and then like everything else. I didn't know Sobe still existed either.

[13:20:21] Yeah. You gotta go find your local Pepsi Spire.

[13:20:28] When you say a Pepsi spire, I think of spires as the uniform Starcraft

[13:20:32] but instead of spilling out the green

[13:20:36] homing missiles, it just

[13:20:38] spurts Pups in.

[13:20:41] Alright,

[13:20:42] modders, you know what to do.

[13:20:51] ... down. Shubda, have you beaten and then

[13:20:52] died by now? Yeah. That's what I

[13:20:54] thought.

[13:20:57] I'm just Yeah. That's what I thought.

[13:21:00] I'm just finishing a slip mantra now? Yeah.

[13:21:03] Before, like an hour before this began,

[13:21:06] I predicted that I would win food percent and Shubda

[13:21:09] would win this.

[13:21:11] And I think it is coming to pass.

[13:21:19] So where are you?, sorry. Go ahead.

[13:21:21] I was just going to ask

[13:21:22] where the nearest Pepsi Spire

[13:21:24] is through SGDQ?

[13:21:27] No, I'm not going. that a pepsi spiral locator

[13:21:34] i'm not going to that with you don't take it okay where's the closest one to AGDQ?

[13:21:40] Assuming it stays in the same location

[13:21:42] as last time.

[13:21:45] I actually don't know.

[13:21:46] It's a bit more relevant right now, yeah?

[13:21:48] Apparently Pepsi Peeps is a thing now. Unrelated, but...

[13:21:51] I don't think there's a Spire locator.

[13:21:57] That's messed up.

[13:21:59] Let's see what the Pepsi subreddit has to say.

[13:22:13] So, fun fact BK here is from New York City

[13:22:15] and when he

[13:22:17] I just lived here for 30 years

[13:22:19] okay, he's

[13:22:20] essentially from New York City.

[13:22:23] And

[13:22:24] when he came to SGDQ

[13:22:27] he had me

[13:22:28] who drove an hour and a half

[13:22:30] to get to SGDQ because I live in Minnesota.

[13:22:33] He had me drive him down

[13:22:35] to Rochester, Minnesota

[13:22:37] to try New York

[13:22:39] style pizza

[13:22:40] so that he could have authentic New York

[13:22:44] pizza in Minnesota.

[13:22:46] That's a very good thing.

[13:22:47] It's true.

[13:22:49] If I knew it was going to be like that,

[13:22:52] I wouldn't have made her drive all the way.

[13:22:55] Their Stromboli though

[13:22:56] was actually top notch.

[13:22:58] A pleasant surprise.

[13:23:00] It was good enough

[13:23:01] that he bought two t-shirts

[13:23:02] to celebrate.

[13:23:03] I'm wearing one now.

[13:23:04] My Pascals of

[13:23:05] Rochester, Minnesota

[13:23:07] t-shirt. If you guys want to sponsor

[13:23:09] me,

[13:23:11] here's your chance.

[13:23:13] Go to Pascal's for

[13:23:15] banging stromboli and alright pizza.

[13:23:19] What?

[13:23:20] We have alright pizza.

[13:23:28] There is a Pepsi Spire locator, but the page doesn't work, so...

[13:23:30] So it's not...

[13:23:32] So it's not... Spire stock's

[13:23:34] not on the up right now now is what I'm hearing.

[13:23:37] Yeah, this is from official.pepsispider.wiki

[13:23:45] I hate when I build the Pepsi spire and then all the sodas have to be translated into different languages.

[13:23:54] All right, Mario games have been featured on Think Fast five times across four episodes.

[13:24:00] Who were the winners?

[13:24:02] Shoujo won one, right?

[13:24:05] Shoujo didn't technically compete against anyone.

[13:24:11] Yeah, that's why I was counting this so she doesn't count oh I'm not sure who else.

[13:24:24] If I had to throw a random guess,

[13:24:28] I'd go like 360 Chrism or something.

[13:24:35] We can also pivot the questions into what Mario games that we have

[13:24:44] super mario world mario 64. rpg all right we have that mario rpg

[13:24:52] none of the other ones.

[13:24:53] Well, we had Mario World today, but that was real fast.

[13:24:59] Also,

[13:25:00] you cannot guess Shubdom as an answer for this. Not in the system.

[13:25:05] Yeah we didn't know earlier on the question.

[13:25:10] Did Void win the SMRPG one?

[13:25:12] No.

[13:25:15] For the SMRPG

[13:25:18] one, we had Remake vs

[13:25:21] Original and it was

[13:25:24] Pidge vs. Headstrong

[13:25:26] I'm gonna guess

[13:25:28] Pidge won then? Incorrect

[13:25:30] Oh, then it's Headstrong alright

[13:25:32] Correct! Alright another game I know it's headstrong, alright.

[13:25:36] Alright another game we had on was Odyssey

[13:25:40] Fur?

[13:25:47] No Out. I'm not sure how this runs...

[13:25:49] How does he...?

[13:25:51] Grand 55, Truman?

[13:25:56] Out! Grand 55. Where's our... Truman? Nope.

[13:25:57] Wow.

[13:25:57] That was our first ever Mario and Food episode, we have in fact done this theme twice.

[13:26:02] Yeah.

[13:26:02] Oh no!

[13:26:03] And so that one was more like culinary instead of food, but...

[13:26:07] Because the person who won that episode went to culinary school we just didn't know that.

[13:26:13] Uh huh.

[13:26:14] Uh, vodka soup?

[13:26:16] No. Okay. Oh, huh. Uh, vodka soup? Yeah, probably.

[13:26:19] I mean... if we also had bird trivia they would have done very well as well.

[13:26:24] That's true! as well So that one was dangerous. dangers oh okay okay

[13:26:54] i also had paper mario on

[13:27:27] the original tape farm I'm going to go who runs paper mario that one was jacob

[13:27:32] we also had Super Mario Sunshine.

[13:27:36] Panga?

[13:27:38] Friends?

[13:28:05] Nope. I'm just naming the only people I know who run it, in hopes that one of them is notable notable on it. That one was SB.

[13:28:08] And then 3D World was our last one.

[13:28:09] I guess it is 3D World and Bowser's Fury.

[13:28:17] That is true, it was and Bowser's Fury.

[13:28:20] It wasn't Office Blitz, was it?

[13:28:22] No, it was not. was it I was just saying.

[13:28:36] Who? Did you say 3D Warhammer?

[13:28:40] Jocelyn.

[13:28:44] Okay.

[13:29:01] We are unfortunately stuck in our little SMW hidey holes, as far as knowledge goes when it comes to mario games yeah more or less

[13:29:13] i'm a little bit more aware of other people that you know how about real world people as if those are people um so this is a multiple choice so you will both get one guess and then if

[13:29:18] you both get it right, you both get points.

[13:29:22] Who of these are not featured in the SNES

[13:29:25] version of Mario's Time Machine? choices are plato marco polo

[13:29:32] george washington or mahatma gandhi uh Gandhi.

[13:29:46] Just to be different, I'm going to go with Marco Polo.

[13:29:48] It's George Washington.

[13:29:49] I remember the Marcole one was definitely in there, because I played it and wasn't sure about the other ones.

[13:29:54] Thomas Jefferson represents that time period instead,

[13:29:58] And his artifact is the Declaration of Independence.

[13:30:02] Gotcha!

[13:30:05] Ghandi uses the Flag of Indy,

[13:30:07] And I don't remember what the other ones are.

[13:30:14] When I was young,

[13:30:15] I didn't know how to play that game so I just drove

[13:30:17] the time machine over the ocean for hours

[13:30:19] at a time like a dumb child.

[13:30:27] I thought it was about the manual that game is very hard to find yeah i tried passing it and i just got bored tried passing it, and

[13:30:33] I just got bored of

[13:30:34] passing it.

[13:30:35] Oh no.

[13:30:37] Um, basically for

[13:30:38] those who don't know

[13:30:39] the loop- the gameplay

[13:30:40] loop of Mario's time

[13:30:42] machine on the SNES at least, is you do homework. I believe it was called homework in-game.

[13:30:49] And basically it gives you a fill fill in the blank essay about the given person.

[13:30:58] You fill in all of the blanks and go surfing over like i don't know something you collect a couple each

[13:31:07] left hand shells you go to that place and then you

[13:31:12] like talk to the historical person. And that's it.

[13:31:16] And you do that

[13:31:18] like 15 times.

[13:31:20] Oh wow. I love video games!

[13:31:22] Why are we having that on Think Fast?

[13:31:24] Also in short runs. We need to have an educational game on the show

[13:31:29] i love playing that when i was like already so i had like two sets of

[13:31:33] homework one of them was my video game moment, and the other one was my across-the-mole.

[13:31:40] I think we do an educational game episode

[13:31:43] And then instead of us asking trivia questions

[13:31:46] We just ask like uh how certain game mechanics work

[13:31:53] reverse i'm not readingiding your curse.

[13:32:02] We'll workshop it. Hey, this one's recent news.

[13:32:10] This one?

[13:32:12] Oh yeah it's true!

[13:32:14] What indie game just recently outsold the original Super Mario Bros.?

[13:32:18] Oh I just saw this!

[13:32:20] Undertale? No...

[13:32:24] Oh, uh, Terraria?

[13:32:26] That's right! Nice! Terraria is

[13:32:28] sick, I love that game. Good for them.

[13:32:31] Winning for Shabna!

[13:32:33] They've sold 58.7 million copies so far and their last update is coming soon.

[13:32:42] This one for sure.

[13:45:13] Vodka.

[13:45:14] No.

[13:45:33] Box is closed!

[13:45:34] Whiskey?

[13:45:35] Yeah.

[13:45:36] Yep.

[13:45:37] Playing for BK.

[13:45:38] Of all the questions I got right, it was an alcohol one yep playing for BK

[13:45:39] of all the questions I got right it was an alcohol one

[13:45:42] off character, it's off brand

[13:45:51] oh I'm not sure if you can see this, but the game is pretty much just a bunch of random enemies that are all in one place. You have to be careful with these guys, because they're very annoying and will make you lose your mind.

[13:45:56] The only thing I know about them is that they're really easy to get into, so it's hard to find them. I don't think I've ever had a Mountain Dew whiskey.

[13:46:06] Me neither.

[13:46:08] I sure haven't. How many X's are there?

[13:46:24] Eight in the hack and this run.

[13:46:28] And game?

[13:46:30] That's what was said,

[13:46:33] we all heard it.

[13:46:37] Which one are we at?

[13:46:39] I don't know where Shub is

[13:46:41] at... i'm at

[13:46:46] the second to last one same

[13:46:51] i just entered ross's house of switches and waffles.

[13:47:02] I like when places have very specific names.

[13:47:05] I think more places should do that.

[13:47:07] You know exactly what you're getting?

[13:47:10] Speaking of specific places...

[13:47:13] Where does La Croix originate from?

[13:47:15] La Crosse, Wisconsin maybe.

[13:47:17] That is correct!

[13:47:18] Holy cow!

[13:47:20] 20 seconds!

[13:47:22] What did you say?

[13:47:23] La Crosse, Wisconsin.

[13:47:26] I did see that was a city there.

[13:47:28] I was just looking for Wisconsin, honestly!

[13:47:32] Yeah?

[13:47:34] That's right! I thought that was gonna be on me.

[13:47:39] I did see that on the flight map on the way to and from SGDQ.

[13:47:45] I didn't think you related to the drink.

[13:47:52] Where does the game Lacrosse originate from?

[13:47:59] That, I have no idea.

[13:48:04] I actually, I don't actually know.

[13:48:09] Oh okay. It's like indigenous native North Americans.

[13:48:13] Ah, yes! That is correct.

[13:48:22] Could not be more opposite. Hehehe. What's everyone's favorite, uh...

[13:48:24] La Croix flavor?

[13:48:26] Hint of hint

[13:48:28] of strawberry. Whis hint of strawberry.

[13:48:32] Whisper is doing fine.

[13:48:35] Low battery banana?

[13:48:38] You made that up, they don't call their stuff that. No don't you're right they should have fun

[13:48:45] i like the key lime one

[13:48:53] i've been drinking a different brand. They have a Blackberry Limited one and it's killer.

[13:48:58] Interesting.

[13:49:02] Really good. Into the lava Yeah, Shams to Wisconsin. Making cheese and also the curd.

[13:49:27] A bit more of a knee dance?

[13:49:32] And we're Hank Sinatra and Eon live.

[13:49:35] Yep. Not a bad state. so so all right

[13:50:10] you still have so many questions you don't want a food one or a Mario one.

[13:50:19] Gosh, I am indifferent.

[13:50:22] Let's do Mario.

[13:50:23] All right.

[13:50:26] We go on. an easy Mario or a hard Mario one.

[13:50:31] Oh, a hard one?

[13:50:33] Okay.

[13:50:38] Who has pork fries? um and i can't i can't remember the name of the guy Bob Hoskins is one. Yeah, Chris Pratt.

[13:50:49] And I can't remember the name of the guy from

[13:50:51] the TV show but...

[13:50:53] Uh... Oh! Um...

[13:50:55] Mmm... Damn.

[13:51:01] I would know this if I weren't doing this. Like, lose something alright? Yep. And there is also a third one oh from a coleco vision commercial

[13:51:27] i don't think you're gonna get that wrong but the uh the t the super mario super show

[13:51:33] one is new something

[13:51:41] no i'm thinking of the hulk aren't i was Blue... Origna? No.

[13:51:42] I'm thinking of the Hulk, aren't I?

[13:51:43] That was the Hulk, yeah.

[13:51:45] Whoops!

[13:51:46] Bumps, I guess.

[13:51:56] And it's Captain. Captain Loose-something they call them. That is exactly it, yeah.

[13:51:58] Last name begins with an A. a

[13:52:13] i think i'm gonna have to end up losing this question To try and salvage this room

[13:52:14] I can't do both at the same time

[13:52:18] When we do say an intro

[13:52:20] Focus too hard on the questions, your run might suffer

[13:52:28] And we also say for those playing or for those at home feel free to play walking chat

[13:52:32] that's the two things I say. What's the thing? Think fast.

[13:52:38] No. Oh, okay.

[13:52:40] How many times is think fast said in

[13:52:42] the intro?

[13:52:47] Captain Lou Albano!

[13:52:49] Captain Lou Albano! Yeah, there you go.

[13:52:49] That's right.

[13:52:52] Good, because I completely got ruined on this level. It wasn't worth

[13:52:55] 10 seconds, I'll tell you that

[13:52:57] i lost like two minutes thinking of it the last one

[13:53:01] in the calico vision commercials is harris shore

[13:53:05] because we both got one that is 15 seconds for both of you.

[13:53:13] No one answered my bonus question.

[13:53:17] What was the bonus

[13:53:18] question? How many times do I say

[13:53:20] think fast in the intro?

[13:53:22] Was it twice?

[13:53:24] It is twice, but

[13:53:26] it could also be three times if you include without further delay

[13:53:29] is time to think fast so you're both right the interview of Bob Hoskins talking about how he discovered what his Mario movie world was actually about is iconic.

[13:53:56] How I think, his daughter or granddaughter showed him like what the source material was and he's like

[13:54:06] i performed in shakespeare plays i played hamlet that look

[13:54:17] look at you now mario mario mario mario Mario, Mario. Mario, Mario!

[13:54:28] That's one of the movies I want to play.

[13:54:34] Of all the levels in this game,

[13:54:36] I did not think that this one

[13:54:37] was going to be the one

[13:54:38] to bot any,

[13:54:39] but here we are.

[13:54:45] So it goes. Where are you at on the run, Shudder?

[13:54:47] Is it the switches or the waffles that are getting in?

[13:54:49] The switches are getting me.

[13:54:50] The lore says we're actually out of waffles and since...

[13:54:54] Oh no, it says that in the first room. I can't even show you anymore.

[13:54:57] But yeah, the message box says they are out of waffles for today so switch is only.

[13:55:03] I'm in Disco Dance dance after party answer your question yeah you are

[13:55:10] i got uh two switches and a waffles we're out of waffles the switch is okay

[13:55:18] marauder kookaboo

[13:55:25] you gotta get it from the Brad's fire though.

[13:55:27] Is Pepu okay?

[13:55:30] Oh my god, finally! Get in there! It's one boom.

[13:55:41] He keeps popping up, huh?

[13:55:44] So this game has

[13:55:45] 42 rooms and exactly 50% of them, 21 rooms are big blue boss fights.

[13:55:51] I'm quite the fan of those, they're very versatile and easy to modify.

[13:56:03] Hmm... of time so i actually wanted to change this because it sucks because there's a phantom

[13:56:07] but had enough time.

[13:56:12] Looks like Shep didn't have

[13:56:13] too much trouble with it, let's see if I will.

[13:56:17] I'm struggling here in the after party though.

[13:56:20] You know?

[13:56:28] Are you all both still in Waffles?

[13:56:29] Nope, I'm in the next level.

[13:56:31] She's post-Waffle, she's on what is the last level in the room?

[13:56:36] The Post-Waffle era.

[13:56:38] She's on the last any percent level

[13:56:41] since we did post game first for routing reasons

[13:56:44] the routing reason is uh there is non-skippable credits after the last

[13:56:48] 80 level which unlocks one of the um-game levels and we don't want to have that contributed time

[13:56:55] in the run so we do close game first then go back into any percent and finish with minutes I think that's where I have the other two pipes.

[13:57:07] Just break, break the mentalization.

[13:57:14] Who are the non-Mario franchise characters featured in the first Mario Kart arcade GP?

[13:57:21] Pacman! That's one of them

[13:57:29] that's the only one i know the other two extract boy

[13:57:33] yeah the other two are also Pac-Man characters.

[13:57:35] Oh, Inky?

[13:57:37] Not Inky...

[13:57:39] It is Ms. Pacman and Blinky.

[13:57:42] And Blinky's the other head for bk 20 percent done

[13:57:51] mario kart arcade gp wow i cannot say that game right it has to be there's no way it's not um

[13:58:01] the most recent mario kart arcade gp features chen from taiko that rules i think it's just

[13:58:09] dumb chin and pacman so it's pac-man

[13:58:14] i'm gonna ask you to cue that tyco has a Splatoon melody, and it's very fun.

[13:58:20] I wanted to write a question about Mario Kart Live Home Circuit, but there is really nothing interesting about that game yeah

[13:58:31] hello we've kind of written some questions about um what's it called

[13:58:36] about world tour all right since this is food percent and i've just finished

[13:58:42] rostro's house of witches and waffles i'm gonna have a waffle. Oh my goodness!

[13:58:51] The preparation!

[13:58:58] I think that's worth 20 seconds.

[13:59:02] Thank you!

[13:59:04] Also, the second Mario Kart

[13:59:08] arcade GP game featured, um...

[13:59:14] It featured Mamechi.

[13:59:18] From Kamagachi.

[13:59:22] Oh!

[13:59:26] And also Blinky Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man.

[13:59:30] Do they have my favorite mario character in it though

[13:59:35] that being mushbert no unfortunately messed up bring back mushbert incidentally enough this level is the one where

[13:59:58] one of the people who quit on this room more specifically

[14:00:05] hardest room in the game confirmed it's quite the difficulty spike tech wise was

[14:00:22] thinking of things that are shaped like spikes in what country was the largest ice cream cone built uh iceland netherlands norway

[14:00:31] norway yes i knew i knew it was one of the Nordic countries.

[14:00:36] Yeah, yeah.

[14:00:37] 20 for BK!

[14:00:38] It was 10 feet 1 inch tall or 3.08 meters and included 1080 liters of ice cream.

[14:00:45] Oh my god!

[14:00:48] I want to go to there.

[14:00:53] Now, like can you imagine it's just a permanent fixture.

[14:00:57] They have to keep refilling it

[14:01:01] But it melts similarly, what country consumes the most ice cream per capita?

[14:01:21] US.

[14:01:22] No!

[14:01:23] Oh.

[14:01:26] Canada.

[14:01:50] No? You gotta pump up those numbers. There are more countries, as a reminder. Wisconsin.

[14:01:58] Japan. Nope Can we get a hint?

[14:02:12] It is an English-speaking country.

[14:02:16] Australia? No. Really?

[14:02:20] English speaking country country South Africa.

[14:02:24] Nope, nope.

[14:02:25] New Zealanders.

[14:02:26] That's right!

[14:02:26] There's one more.

[14:02:28] It's time for me to...

[14:02:29] Yeah, both of us

[14:02:30] give you clues

[14:02:31] at the same time

[14:02:31] and it'll be a really big clue.

[14:02:33] Yeah, that narrowed it down to just a few.

[14:02:41] So according to worldatlas.com, New Zealand consumes 20... the average per capita

[14:02:50] 28.4 liters per year in new zealand the us is 20.8 liters

[14:02:59] 28.4 versus 20.8 yeah dang that's like a lot more.

[14:03:04] And then Australia is 18.

[14:03:07] Alright, Australia, step it up.

[14:03:13] Australia is third.

[14:03:18] No! Oh, that was so good.

[14:03:20] And then I beefed it.

[14:03:28] I think that was my chance gone. I believe. Sheldon, what room are you in?

[14:03:32] Just after getting yellow Yasu-chan.

[14:03:37] Okay, yeah she's basically done.

[14:03:42] Not if you get N1 Lens of Perfume on a stack. I don't think we can but... Yeah. All the really hard stuff? And one more unsupervised thing.

[14:03:48] I don't think we can, but...

[14:03:50] Do you have ten more minutes?

[14:07:57] Welcome to MyMy, the first of Sega series

[14:07:59] of

[14:08:01] and then crossed out washing machine shaped rhythm games

[14:08:07] they kind of do look like a washing machine. Seems a lot more forgiving.

[14:08:14] During the concerts, Gideon Lee from Rush

[14:08:17] would have a bunch of washing machines and other home

[14:08:20] appliances to his back because the guitar player Alex Lifeson would bring his own gear

[14:08:26] but Geddy Lee would just use the house PA system and didn't need anything behind him

[14:08:30] he wanted to balance the aesthetics of it

[14:08:34] so you have roadies coming in like putting clothes on and taking them out

[14:08:38] of their washers and dryers as the show is going on from behind jamie it's very good time.

[14:08:50] One back using our limited remaining trivia questions.

[14:08:54] Please give us a trivia questions

[14:08:58] please give us a limited rm- give us this one

[14:09:00] what baja blast spin off flavors were released for a limited time

[14:09:04] in 2024.

[14:09:07] Ah,

[14:09:08] nope.

[14:09:11] In the current year.

[14:09:14] I'm afraid not.

[14:09:16] One of these is a Doritos flavor.

[14:09:17] That made it worse!

[14:09:24] Alright... no ideas?

[14:09:27] We got Baja Laguna Lemonade which is a mango lemonade, Baja Point Break Punch

[14:09:34] which is like a berry punch I think and Doritos Baja Fiery Mango which are spicy mango doritos baja fiery mango which are like spicy mango doritos i like that some of them

[14:09:46] all right here's one that's not as hard. What is the most popular cheese-related recipe in the United States?

[14:09:53] Grilled cheese.

[14:09:55] It's not grilled cheese.

[14:09:57] Not grilled cheese.

[14:09:59] Nachos and cheese no mac and cheese yeah I'm not sure why this is so hard to get.

[14:10:18] This is a pretty good level, but it's also very difficult to get through. I guess I I lost my

[14:10:32] eye.

[14:10:32] I got or I guess like one of our sun shade

[14:10:38] that's branded Baja Blast and it came in the mail today, so

[14:10:43] hey guys and it came in the mail today so hey

[14:10:50] wait the world is that a world record for this gets it in two days yeah that seems that seems right Yeah.

[14:10:54] That seems ridiculous!

[14:10:56] The runner for it, Calco2 is a notoriously proficient runner at whatever he puts his mind to.

[14:11:05] Before he played in Grandis,

[14:11:07] he was actually known for not being proficient

[14:11:11] in the cape in Super Mario World

[14:11:13] and he decided to play this game

[14:11:16] to his words learn kate and then he i see ran it into

[14:11:21] the ground you know

[14:11:23] i guess that's a good way to do it yeah

[14:11:28] good old captain so

[14:11:45] wanna run through some more questions?

[14:11:48] Sure. That are probably not about

[14:11:52] Baja Blast. Unfortunately

[14:12:04] You didn't Even more expensive than vanilla, what is the most expensive spice by weight in the world? Oh...

[14:12:06] I know what that means. oh

[14:12:35] i know what it is If it's what I'm thinking of, it has like no flavor and it just tinges your food goldish. It is not that.

[14:12:38] It's not that.

[14:12:56] What type of Brazilian has he used um like

[14:13:04] yeah it's in like Indian and Persian food. Ayala uses it famously.

[14:13:42] It's also a Pokemon location. so I'm not sure. Think about your canto towns so Is it bad that I didn't really play much Pokemon?

[14:14:09] It's hard, it's bad for understanding what the answer is given by hand.

[14:14:19] That's fair.

[14:14:21] I think we're gonna come up on time here right now.

[14:14:27] Alright!

[14:14:28] That was pretty good, that was close. I don't know where you got stuck. You must have gotten

[14:14:31] stuck somewhere because I got super stuck in one place and it was still pretty close.

[14:14:36] Yep. I don't even know where anymore but

[14:14:38] i definitely felt stuck in one spot or two

[14:14:43] all right well this one is Saffron oh yeah saffron. Oh, yeah.

[14:14:49] Gotcha.

[14:14:55] We have our final compile times?

[14:15:00] I believe we do.

[14:15:01] Yep.

[14:15:04] Coming in at second place, BK with a 59-14.

[14:15:06] Sub hour!

[14:15:07] That was my goal 36.

[14:15:15] thank you so much for both uh i don't know subjecting yourselves to this?

[14:15:21] Do you have any shoutouts you'd like

[14:15:23] to give?

[14:15:25] Shoutouts to LinkDeadX2

[14:15:27] for not doing this

[14:15:29] with us because he is a better man

[14:15:32] and better person than both of us.

[14:15:36] He's not better than us, I know your worth. That's fair

[14:15:40] Well, he's a better man than I am, but that's for

[14:15:42] a different reason.

[14:15:43] Because you're not a man.

[14:15:47] Trans rights.

[14:15:48] Trans rights.

[14:15:56] Thank you again so much for being on our show. Thanks for having us.

[14:16:01] Congratulations on the world records in PBs and whatnot.

[14:16:06] I pulled chat out, someone asked did BK just pull out a waffle?

[14:16:09] I pulled out the last three quarters of my waffles

[14:16:11] I pulled out the first quarter after

[14:16:13] The waffle level in the name

[14:16:14] Because it had waffles in the name

[14:16:18] That's a little bit of post-race waffle

[14:28:39] fan diddlytastic Thursday

[14:28:41] I am going to be your host for the rest of the evening

[14:28:43] Pleasantly Twisted, you may have seen me on SGDQ

[14:28:45] SPT. Thank you so much

[14:28:47] to Corby May and Swoose

[14:28:49] for your wonderful showcase of Think Fast,

[14:28:51] although I can never watch those

[14:28:52] because I am just not smart enough.

[14:28:54] They ask questions and I'm always like,

[14:28:55] I thought I knew Final Fantasy.

[14:28:57] I don't know anything at all actually

[14:28:59] so I'm just going to go ahead

[14:29:01] and mind my business and let

[14:29:02] everybody else do their thing in speed run

[14:29:04] but we are going to be showcasing some fantastic black speed runners this

[14:29:07] evening for what we're lovingly call calling the

[14:29:10] run back so if you're, I am also the organizer for

[14:29:13] Unapologetically Black and Fast along with Juneteenth

[14:29:15] but we kind of felt like

[14:29:17] we need more black speedruns

[14:29:19] More speedruns are

[14:29:21] needed, they're necessary. I need them

[14:29:24] to live, so we're going to be doing some one-offs

[14:29:26] this evening and

[14:29:28] having some of our usual runners

[14:29:30] come in with some of their other ones that they work on

[14:29:32] but before we get into all the fun stuff

[14:29:34] just as a reminder if you've missed any of our shows any of our events we just

[14:29:38] did summer games done quick this last week

[14:29:40] the week before that we did juneteenth if you somehow miss

[14:29:43] all these things you can go over to youtube.com slash GameStopQuick

[14:29:46] And catch all those!

[14:29:47] There's gonna be nice and organized in the playlist for you

[14:29:49] We're going to have all the runs from the last event

[14:29:51] All the interviews

[14:29:52] We're going to have everybody stuff

[14:29:54] From Juneteenth, UBAF

[14:29:56] all your hot pick shows. If you've missed it we've got you covered. It's over there

[14:30:00] hanging out. Now if I'm looking at things correctly

[14:30:03] we should be getting ready to do some

[14:30:05] heck and dang Mario Kart

[14:30:08] I actually really love

[14:30:09] Mario Kart, I'm going to have to harass peas when we get

[14:30:11] over there because I need to know the most

[14:30:13] important question of the entire Mario Kart run

[14:30:15] I don't care about your actual. I don't care about your actual category,

[14:30:17] I don't care about your time...

[14:30:19] I need to know who you play though. So uh

[14:30:21] P's, do you want to show us some Mario Karts?

[14:30:23] Absolutely PT!

[14:30:25] So this is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but we're not exactly playing through the whole game.

[14:30:30] We are going to be doing some of the DLC tracks.

[14:30:33] We will be playing the latter half which released early last year and actually this is a good segue to talk about

[14:30:41] which character i'll be playing as because usually i'm a bird domain because burtel's

[14:30:45] like my favorite one of my favorite mario characters of all time

[14:30:48] nasty but because

[14:30:51] but because uh the next couple runs uh feature

[14:30:54] uh primates i'm gonna actually play a character that was introduced or brought back in Wave 6

[14:31:00] by the name of

[14:31:02] Mr. Diddy Kong himself

[14:31:04] Yes, Diddy Kong

[14:31:05] Okay, that's gas

[14:31:08] We'll allow the Diddy Kong. That's acceptable.

[14:31:10] Specifically I use like Luberto but this time

[14:31:13] we're going to be playing as Diddy with

[14:31:14] the same combo. They actually have

[14:31:16] similar stats but

[14:31:18] Diddy is slightly slower but it's fine because he makes up for

[14:31:21] by having a pretty solid

[14:31:23] mini turbo stat which we'll explain

[14:31:25] as we get into the first track here.

[14:31:27] We're going to be using the Bitty Buggy.

[14:31:29] I usually use blue rollers, but I want to match the whole red vibes for us, the Red Rollers and then we have an option of cloud parachute flower and paper but I'm you use cloud because it's my favorite client in the game.

[14:31:43] So our rules are set.

[14:31:45] Now you may notice that my CPUs are set

[14:31:46] to normal

[14:31:47] because there is actually one

[14:31:50] track in the DLC where I need the CPUs to hopefully

[14:31:53] not screw up my cycle.

[14:31:57] But we'll get into that, and actually

[14:32:01] Hey Limey would you like introduce yourself yourself real quick? I forgot to give you a quick intro there.

[14:32:07] It's okay. Hi! I'm limeytrscoresaur.

[14:32:10] I am the host here on Shtickothix with The Block Events.

[14:32:13] I'm quite the regular if I do say so myself.

[14:32:14] I'm happy you didn't introduce me because I was in the middle of a nasty game with Bellatra, but I just finished.

[14:32:20] I've played a little bit of Mario Kart before.

[14:32:23] You can't be telling everybody that you're playing Bellaccio!

[14:32:25] Yeah, Bici ruined my life.

[14:32:27] Oh no...

[14:32:29] I did! I introduced it to

[14:32:31] Bellaccio. I've done

[14:32:33] my part. Well, I have a big favor to ask of y'all.

[14:32:38] Could you give me a quick countdown?

[14:32:40] Don't trust me.

[14:32:41] My counting is not great.

[14:32:43] This is going to be 3-2-1 anyway anyway but i don't want to count that maybe

[14:32:46] like just dead anyway

[14:32:50] i think limey should do it since they're doing the first thing now um 100 000. 99 999 oh my god you're 99 get out of the way those numbers work anyway

[14:33:08] all right, Pisa, you ready?

[14:33:14] Three, two, one, go.

[14:33:18] Already a mess.

[14:33:20] Oh, trust me. Mario Kart is... This game is going to be even more of a mess.

[14:33:22] I forgot to mention we're not going to be using items

[14:33:24] so this is going to be pure driving

[14:33:25] and just a little bit of friendly banter because 100 skill yeah exactly

[14:33:31] because with the items there's a very good chance that the cpus could mess me up

[14:33:36] and i did not get full startup because uh fun fact i'm actually playing with

[14:33:41] with not just my game audio um like going through so i'll have a little bit of delay

[14:33:47] so that's if i don't get full start-up it's it's because I actually used an audio cue to make sure I get the full one.

[14:33:53] It's okay. Speedrunners know... He's SMB is an Elgato capture card user, so you all know how that is.

[14:34:02] Oh... That says all of it, nevermind.

[14:34:06] See? I have the John lined up!

[14:34:08] Also can I just say it?

[14:34:10] Thank you.

[14:34:14] Now, I love that you're using Diddycom

[14:34:15] because even though

[14:34:17] while Chad is correct

[14:34:18] Birdo is her

[14:34:19] she's the one

[14:34:21] for reasons that everyone should be aware of because you know

[14:34:23] her canonically is she's our first trans character. But nonetheless

[14:34:28] I have always been a Yoshi and Toad main, so whenever I see the small characters get love

[14:34:34] I am a very happy person.

[14:34:36] Yoshi isn't very small but Yoshi is my bae

[14:34:39] I love him to pieces

[14:34:41] Well...

[14:34:42] The good news is that yoshi's actually

[14:34:44] the best character to use in competitive mario kart so

[14:34:49] yeah play me a mario kart you won't please focus your speed one don't start playing yeah

[14:34:55] if y'all have ever seen a stream on peace s and push out tv slash psnv

[14:35:00] uh you all might see that the entire lobby is just the same cart, except for sometimes there's another one.

[14:35:09] Yoshi... but at least there are different colors of Yoshi so that's fine.

[14:35:13] But yeah, Yoshi is like...

[14:35:17] I don't want to say by far the best but he's like the best. He isn't a character that has annoying noises

[14:35:24] So how does it work that you are actually going to sit here in like straight up skill

[14:35:29] mode and you're not gonna play items?

[14:35:31] Do you ever get stressed out?

[14:35:32] Do you ever have moments where the computer tries to beat you up or did you turn off items

[14:35:35] when I missed that completely? Yeah. did you turn off items so yeah i do

[14:35:36] i do turn off items because i do not want to get owned by the blue show

[14:35:40] or get hit by lightning yeah it's no it's not fun for the speed run um because there's

[14:35:45] actually a couple of tracks where you want to have really good driving

[14:35:48] in order to hit a certain cycle and if lightning happens, you can kiss that split goodbye.

[14:35:56] That's basically six seconds of time lost, so no thank you.

[14:36:01] It's only 6?

[14:36:03] I was gonna say like lightning is annoying.

[14:36:05] Yeah because...

[14:36:07] It feels like it. Because it shrinks's 20, but you move so slow.

[14:36:11] Oh well that's fair.

[14:36:12] So basically the way that lightning works is if you throw this behind

[14:36:17] You'll basically shrink up faster than the people in front of

[14:36:21] you. So if you have a lead, you're going to be small for at least six to ten seconds

[14:36:26] and it's not fun.

[14:36:30] No that's violent.

[14:36:31] That's absolutely violent.

[14:36:32] Like if you had to pick an item

[14:36:34] that is absolutely

[14:36:35] the bane of your existence

[14:36:36] everyone says they hate

[14:36:37] the blue shell

[14:36:38] and it's like well yeah

[14:36:38] you hate the blue shell

[14:36:39] because you're in first place that makes sense

[14:36:41] but what is the item that when you get hit with it it's like no calm no chill only violence because

[14:36:48] i think lightning is up there, but I feel like whenever

[14:36:51] I hit a banana specifically,

[14:36:53] there's something about the banana peel

[14:36:54] that's so explicitly disrespectful

[14:36:57] because it's there

[14:36:58] and you could have dodged it

[14:36:59] but you simply didn't

[14:37:01] and now I'm just like, nah,

[14:37:02] I'm just angry now.

[14:37:04] Well in my opinion and this isn't an item

[14:37:06] in this game,

[14:37:07] But oh my God when I get hit with a static cloud

[14:37:10] in Mario Kart Wii i oh i get mad i get mad

[14:37:16] yeah same thing i forgot about the static cloud the

[14:37:20] static clouds are annoying like if like in market we like if i get run over by like

[14:37:26] the um like the mega mushroom is like ah that's whatever right like

[14:37:30] i couldn't really avoid that to an extent like i could have could have Jawns, it's fine, but like the Static Cloud?

[14:37:35] Oh.

[14:37:37] I just hate that item so much.

[14:37:41] The Static Mounds is obnoxious.

[14:37:43] Like, I know that people are always like, oh, but shells.

[14:37:45] And it's like, yeah, but shells is like...

[14:37:47] Sometimes you get lucky because people got skill

[14:37:49] issue. Other times

[14:37:51] you might be throwing. You can dodge

[14:37:53] instant stuff like static clouds, bananas

[14:37:56] lightning bolts those are gross

[14:37:58] bullet bills I don't even think they're obnoxious

[14:38:00] I just think they're funny

[14:38:01] imagine minding your business

[14:38:03] and someone comes screaming past you

[14:38:05] that's fine and someone just comes screaming past you. I'm like, you know what?

[14:38:05] I deserve to be hit. That's fine.

[14:38:08] Yeah, I'm a chronic camera flipper backer

[14:38:11] so I never get hit with the bullet holes.

[14:38:15] Oh that was...

[14:38:16] Yeah, so that's the

[14:38:19] infamous DK Summit double cut and

[14:38:21] somehow got a pretty decent

[14:38:23] adjustment. So

[14:38:25] this I was going to say say This is a fan favorite

[14:38:28] But in the competitive scene

[14:38:30] This track is terrible

[14:38:31] Online

[14:38:32] So that cut

[14:38:36] Is one of them

[14:38:36] The caveat to playing the bitty buggy for example

[14:38:40] is that it's lighter than than the teddy bunny which is actually

[14:38:42] the fastest and and a better car but i use biddy because

[14:38:45] it has a better mean from his dad um but the thing

[14:38:47] is people like to get you can basically just

[14:38:50] get bumped at this cut and i'm gonna have to play it safe because i messed up here so

[14:38:55] that's cool we didn't fall off though we did like all i care about is not falling off

[14:39:04] is it possible to overshoot and then go out of bounds i've

[14:39:07] i've done that a handful of times. There's actually something called

[14:39:10] Smart String which you can turn on, at least online mid-race

[14:39:14] and basically it prevents you from falling off the track but also

[14:39:18] prevents you from taking shortcuts so um competitive players basically obviously

[14:39:25] those speedrunners are very good at minuing so winnie master plus L+,

[14:39:32] You basically just pull off the track less.

[14:39:35] Wait, I thought it was an R! Oh...

[14:39:37] Because this is on L that makes it feel so much worse, I feel.

[14:39:40] Cause like, the game telling you

[14:39:42] like oh smart stealing steering is an l

[14:39:47] but my favorite parts of your streams again everyone in the push chat go

[14:39:51] follow twitch.tv psnmb subscribe um yes my favorite

[14:39:54] parts of your streams are just like when you're like playing lounge and you're about to fall off

[14:39:59] because you like mess up a skip and then you just like kind of yell for a second

[14:40:02] and then turn on smart steering and everything's fine.

[14:40:04] Yeah!

[14:40:07] Like, I can make an

[14:40:08] entire, like, club combination with just that.

[14:40:10] It's my favorite.

[14:40:12] I feel like Mario Kart is the perfect game too because

[14:40:14] I've never approached it from a competitive side, obviously

[14:40:18] but I've always played casually and even playing casual

[14:40:20] you can get some of those nice tips and tricks going

[14:40:22] You can accidentally find some good shortcuts

[14:40:25] that are like, nah I'm going past everybody

[14:40:27] And then you have your intentional shortcuts

[14:40:29] Everyone at this point, I'm just gonna say it plainly

[14:40:31] If you're playing Mario Kart at this day and age

[14:40:33] you probably are pretty good at drifting and whatnot.

[14:40:36] I remember when they first introduced drifting

[14:40:38] I think it was... Was it 64?

[14:40:39] I don't think it was 64. It might have been.

[14:40:43] Is that when

[14:40:43] they started giving you the clouds

[14:40:45] that changed colors and let you know how you were drifting?

[14:40:47] Yes. Yeah, yes.

[14:40:50] That was 64

[14:40:51] And then they kind of amplified it a bit

[14:40:53] in Double Dash onwards

[14:40:55] I mean Super Circuit is kind of...

[14:40:58] I forget how the drifting works

[14:40:59] in Super Circuit. It's roughly similar to

[14:41:01] 64.

[14:41:03] Yeah, it's like a mix of 64 and

[14:41:05] Super.

[14:41:08] Okay. So So 64 and uh super.

[14:41:12] so this is actually the track that I should have the CPU set to normal on

[14:41:14] because

[14:41:15] i need them, I need for them to hit

[14:41:16] the cloud

[14:41:17] so that I don't have to do all

[14:41:18] all their hard work but i'm gonna i'll go for basically the setups three times

[14:41:22] anyway uh just in case they don't um but lap two

[14:41:25] i don't want them to get it because that's gonna mess it up.

[14:41:28] Okay, they didn't hit it. Cool.

[14:41:30] So now...I just need to put it there

[14:41:33] And then now lap 3

[14:41:35] It's optimal for them to hit the cloud

[14:41:38] At first- I don't know the exact time as to whenever

[14:41:40] the cloud goes away

[14:41:41] but the good thing is it's not RNG

[14:41:43] It's basically execution

[14:41:45] as to whether or not

[14:41:47] you'll get it based on how good your driving is.

[14:41:50] So... I just caught the delay on this stream and i saw the dude in the back and this

[14:41:56] is a Yoshi stage because i remember that face. It's Yoshi's Island, I love it there so much.

[14:42:01] This is one of my favorite tracks in the game and in the DLC

[14:42:07] So this is where I'm gonna play safe and trick

[14:42:10] I'm going to safe and trick.

[14:42:11] Gonna hold down to get some height, there we go.

[14:42:14] Nice!

[14:42:17] So if you miss the cloud, uh, you can kiss four seconds goodbye.

[14:42:20] Oh no, I hate that.

[14:42:23] But I have to

[14:42:25] go ahead and say it for everyone.

[14:42:28] What I don't hate

[14:42:28] and this is where I become a toxic

[14:42:31] Mario Kart player is when you start lapping other

[14:42:33] people because it's like hate that for you

[14:42:38] you should you know your gas is on the right

[14:42:41] guess yes it's on the right.

[14:42:44] Please don't ever play Mario Kart with me, I am very toxic.

[14:42:50] So we are in the latter half of Wave 4 starting with bangkok russian micro tour i forgot to mention

[14:42:55] so the tracks uh i'm pretty sure if you play the dlc and you would already know that um a lot

[14:43:01] of the minecart tour tracks actually almost every single track from tor is in the dlc

[14:43:06] as well as a fan favorite courses um i think they did more of that this time around versus

[14:43:12] um at least like... Actually,

[14:43:16] they did it in every single way.

[14:43:18] Like, Coconut Ball is in the DLC

[14:43:20] I'm trying to think of others

[14:43:22] There's also Waluigi

[14:43:24] Pinball, that's one of my favorites.

[14:43:26] Even though they just copy and pasted from Wario Stadium which is obviously the same but like

[14:43:31] They didn't add a funky remix or whatever at least they added in the

[14:43:36] item roulette from DS, so

[14:43:39] that's pretty nice.

[14:43:41] Other than that,

[14:43:42] um... The rest of the

[14:43:45] DLC, like Wayport onwards, I think they did a really bang up job with

[14:43:49] with the track choices and some some of the unique designs um because most

[14:43:55] of these tracks are also in mario Tour, which is the big inspiration to keep this game.

[14:44:00] Because in 2022 we could have gotten a new Mario Kart game but since this is like the best selling Mario Kart game of all time

[14:44:06] they made the smart business decision to add

[14:44:09] on to it. So...

[14:44:12] I feel like

[14:44:13] there's someone out there that heard that

[14:44:15] and is literally

[14:44:16] in shambles.

[14:44:20] Just straight up...

[14:44:21] And then the next Mario Kart game

[14:44:22] is going to have 32 tracks

[14:44:23] and everyone's going to be like,

[14:44:24] what?

[14:44:25] Right.

[14:44:26] Actually crying

[14:44:26] and throwing up everywhere.

[14:44:30] Because honestly by now everyone has a Switch they're throwing up everywhere. Because, honestly,

[14:44:30] by now everyone has a Switch.

[14:44:32] So...

[14:44:33] They're kind of...

[14:44:37] I mean, a Switch 2 is obviously

[14:44:38] in the works, so

[14:44:39] the next Mario Kart game is definitely going to be on

[14:44:42] the next switch or i should say at the next console because no we don't even know if it's

[14:44:47] gonna be this one that is gonna be a switch but very vague when it comes to these things.

[14:44:52] Yeah, I know that somebody was talking about it and they were just like, oh we're going

[14:44:56] to get news on the next Switch, and it's like okay well that cat's off the back I guess.

[14:45:00] That's awkward for all parties involved, hey switch to switch oled i remember was the

[14:45:05] idea for some people they're like it's gonna be sweet wait i recognize this course hold on

[14:45:09] a second no i'll be'm going to be quiet.

[14:45:13] I was like, wait, I recognize this course!

[14:45:15] So I love Mario Kart.

[14:45:18] I only have played

[14:45:19] a little bit of 8

[14:45:21] but the last time

[14:45:22] I played heavily in earnest was on the Wii

[14:45:24] when they introduced the motorcycles.

[14:45:26] And it pains me that

[14:45:27] I'm the lone motorcycle appreciator

[14:45:30] I feel like.

[14:45:31] I love the bikes so much! They're so goofy and they're just fun to ride, but yeah

[14:45:38] They are actually really good and I wouldn't say broken

[14:45:41] But they're out there with AT atps and actual cards so fun fact the baby buggy and mr scooty

[14:45:48] they share the same stats but they have slightly different driving styles um personally i play

[14:45:52] both but i drive so much better on on viddy

[14:45:55] but i use scooty because it has a smaller uh hitbox

[14:45:58] so really yeah it's it's it's like matters

[14:46:03] it's so strange and you can even have a higher chance of wall-dodging red shells with Scooty,

[14:46:08] So that's why I personally play over Bitty Buggy.

[14:46:10] Granted, I drive slightly slower on Scooty which is... bad.

[14:46:15] Well this was not ideal in the racing game yeah exactly um there's

[14:46:21] actually two different types of bikes there are there are outside drifting bikes

[14:46:25] and there's also inside drifting bikes. So

[14:46:28] the best bikes at Mario Kart Wii are actually

[14:46:30] inside drifting, but they

[14:46:31] altered it quite a bit

[14:46:33] in 8 Deluxe

[14:46:35] to... It's basically not Mario..., well it's almost like Mario Kart

[14:46:39] Wii but the

[14:46:40] drifting style is so much different that

[14:46:42] it's not even close to

[14:46:45] what Mario Kart Wii

[14:46:46] is. So say you played so much

[14:46:49] like Funky Kong

[14:46:51] Flame Runner or Daisy Mothbike

[14:46:53] you would gravitate towards playing

[14:46:55] Yoshi on the Yoshi Bike or something

[14:46:57] like that. But yeah, that's a thing. Yoshi on Yoshi bike.

[14:47:00] I mean it makes sense but I

[14:47:02] can't talk because I always was playing

[14:47:04] Yoshi on Sugar Scoop. That was always my one

[14:47:06] of choice. I don't know.

[14:47:08] I just enjoyed saying Sugar Scoot I think and then my first car i wound up naming

[14:47:11] it sugar scoop because of that there's a good question oh no that's unfortunate burnout yeah

[14:47:18] i did it way too early because again i'm on that delay so my timing's

[14:47:23] a little off but that's fine what one gift sub for burnout please oh god oh that's funny Oh, God.

[14:47:31] Oh.

[14:47:33] That's fine. Everything is fine.

[14:47:34] This is all fine.

[14:47:35] It's so...

[14:47:37] I'm commenting still on the run itself.

[14:47:40] It is so odd seeing the carts without chaos like there's no shells

[14:47:46] there's no nanners there's no like bullets flying by there There's no, excuse me, angry clouds.

[14:47:55] I

[14:47:55] this is like almost

[14:47:57] jarring. Oh that was cute though.

[14:48:00] I was trying to get a drift but

[14:48:01] my uh, I guess Diddy decided

[14:48:04] not to drift at that

[14:48:06] angle. But it's fine.

[14:48:08] This is actually a really hard track too to play anyway

[14:48:10] At least at a decent level

[14:48:12] Um so this why time- why time traveling is your best friend to getting good at these

[14:48:18] courses um even still uh we're also prone to driving errors and whatnot so i mean if you really want to get better at

[14:48:30] mario kart like you really want to take it serious you should honestly just play your

[14:48:34] favorite track over and over and over because you'll learn so much more fundamentals about driving.

[14:48:38] And then you can understand how the item works, and I still cannot get my SMG there but that is okay.

[14:48:45] As long as you're in first place and you about to lap

[14:48:47] what is it are you about the lap donkey kong no

[14:48:50] you're not laughing don't you are you laughing

[14:48:54] that was female village that i laughed okay yeah female villager that I lapped.

[14:48:56] Okay, yeah, female villager you just lapped.

[14:48:58] Are you getting ready to lap Princess Peach in her kitty cat suit?

[14:49:03] Oh yep, Cat Peach! There she is!

[14:49:07] Bye girl!

[14:49:08] Shoutouts to SuperRoy3World.

[14:49:10] We were talking about that before we got live.

[14:49:15] Surely I should get this right.

[14:49:17] I believe in you.

[14:49:19] There we go.

[14:49:21] That's what I wanted.

[14:49:23] It was the principal after a certain point.

[14:49:26] So someone had asked us about how

[14:49:27] the pinball map is sweet.

[14:49:28] I would like to know what are y'all's favorite maps?

[14:49:30] And it could be from any Mario Kart because, transparently,

[14:49:33] I forgot all of the names of the maps.

[14:49:35] I can see the map in my brain.

[14:49:36] I just don't know its name.

[14:49:37] I know it's yoshi something but

[14:49:39] what are y'all's favorite maps um i think my favorite map of all time

[14:49:47] it's close between donut plains and d DK Jungle Parkway from Minecraft 64.

[14:49:52] Fire.

[14:49:53] It-it's really close, um...

[14:49:58] I don't know, I have too many favorites across the franchise.

[14:50:03] Actually believe it or not, I've played Mario Kart for many years

[14:50:07] and I barely play Super Circuit so I haven't played Lakeside Park.

[14:50:14] I think

[14:50:14] Yoshi Desert?

[14:50:17] Yoshi Desert's pretty good.

[14:50:19] There's one that's like a

[14:50:21] Rainforest-y style level that's like a... There's, like,

[14:50:23] a Rainforest-y style level that's on the Wii

[14:50:24] that I can't think of

[14:50:25] but I know the name in it

[14:50:26] has Yoshi as well.

[14:50:28] Yoshi Falls?

[14:50:29] Oh, thank you so much!

[14:50:30] Yoshi Falls is

[14:50:31] one of my favorite ones.

[14:50:32] I just liked looking at the map

[14:50:33] also was one of the few ones that i could like immediately identify shortcuts on and

[14:50:37] I was like oh yeah I'm going through all of this it's fine. Yeah my favorite is...

[14:50:44] It's Sky Gardens from DS because I really like the movement in Mario Kart DS.

[14:50:50] And that track is just so open and you can do so much. It's so fun.

[14:50:55] Oh, look at over there.

[14:50:57] It's funny that you mentioned Sky Garden

[14:51:00] but it's in the DLC and this game

[14:51:02] but we don't get to play it unfortunately. I'm a little

[14:51:05] sad about that.

[14:51:11] For what it's worth

[14:51:13] while we were in the planning stages for this show I did ask you.

[14:51:16] Yeah, we need like an hour or so and I know entire DLC is about two

[14:51:22] So just take your pick of the ones you want to play

[14:51:25] He was like oh wanna, I want to do

[14:51:26] 4 through 6. I'm like, okay, cool. We'll run it.

[14:51:29] We'll run it up then.

[14:51:30] That was not a cut by the way.

[14:51:32] It was me correcting a mistake.

[14:51:34] And I got away with it.

[14:51:35] I'm going to call it a cut, because if it's correcting the mistake and it still swags then it counts.

[14:51:40] It was a bit swagged, I won't lie.

[14:51:43] But yeah, I didn't realize there wasn't going to be skyguarding. I thought it was in six.

[14:51:47] Is it in three?

[14:51:49] It's in one.

[14:51:50] It's in one?

[14:51:53] I for real never played it in this game.

[14:51:56] I'm not gonna lie.

[14:51:58] I just love the shock

[14:51:59] and your voice where you're like, huh?

[14:52:02] All right so let's see we've got in chat

[14:52:05] We've got some love for Baby Park

[14:52:07] Baby Park is pretty solid

[14:52:08] Like that's a really good

[14:52:09] warm-up course for me. I love Baby

[14:52:11] Park.

[14:52:13] Baby Park is good but like a favorite?

[14:52:16] The real question

[14:52:17] is which Baby Park is better? There's only one correct answer

[14:52:20] As to which Baby Park is better

[14:52:21] There's one person that differentiated their Baby Park

[14:52:24] With that being said

[14:52:25] I did have a specific Baby Park

[14:52:28] Yes, what's up

[14:52:29] I think Double Dash Baby Park is the best because Can I say a controversial opinion? Yes, what's up.

[14:52:29] I think Double Dash Baby Park is the best because

[14:52:31] Double Dash is so slidey

[14:52:33] That- that is correct

[14:52:35] And it makes it so much more fun cause

[14:52:36] It's just like bumper cars

[14:52:37] Instead of it being like you have to actually voice stuff

[14:52:39] and sweat,

[14:52:41] ugh! It's so much harder. But yeah in Double Dash

[14:52:45] you will just hit stuff and that's okay. You've also got

[14:52:49] a Yoshi Island. Oh wait, I think that's just saying

[14:52:52] well, I mean Yoshi Island as a game is great

[14:52:54] You know what? Both are fine

[14:52:56] This is perfectly fine

[14:52:58] Yoshi's Island is actually one of my favorite games

[14:53:00] You already know I love joshua

[14:53:02] you say what oh my god you already know i love yoshi island

[14:54:06] The pro set is is Chaco Mountain.

[14:54:08] My life is a lie?

[14:54:10] Probably.

[14:54:12] That seems to be the case.

[14:54:13] That seems to be the case.

[14:54:14] Moonview Highway and then we've got Maple Treeway.

[14:54:17] Guess what?

[14:54:17] Maple Treeway was gassed too.

[14:54:19] Are we going to see some highway action?

[14:54:22] After Daisy Cruiser.

[14:54:24] Nice!

[14:54:27] Nice! Nice!

[14:54:27] So now the bigger question, though.

[14:54:29] Because I have to ask it.

[14:54:31] How many Rainbow Roads are we dodging?

[14:54:33] We don't have to see that tonight, right?

[14:54:36] Oh.

[14:54:36] I thought there was like two.

[14:54:39] We are going to see one tonight

[14:54:48] but it's actually everyone should remember from the week so wrong, that's true

[14:55:00] I remember those tables and all the shy guys were just trying to mind their business

[14:55:01] having lunch and getting ran over.

[14:55:03] Like imagine trying to eat calamari

[14:55:05] and then someone just like drives by and takes it.

[14:55:08] I would be so happy-

[14:55:08] Yeah, I'm seeing a chat comment right now saying peace is amazing

[14:55:12] i know you're in the middle of Iran but people should follow twitch.tv psmb yeah you should

[14:55:53] yes there was a question about it in chat this is a one-off now i'm not going to tell you how

[14:55:58] to live your lives but i'm just saying if it gets an opportunity for myself but

[14:56:01] i'm just throwing it out there that you

[14:56:08] we have

[14:56:09] everything up

[14:56:09] on playlist

[14:56:27] and Wolf of Sion games pro UNO player and also just A plus human being here

[14:56:31] to support P's because of course she would.

[14:56:33] Of course and also Sprinkle Theory

[14:56:35] was in chat earlier too.

[14:56:36] Oh my gosh,

[14:56:36] that's Mrs. Sprinkle?

[14:56:37] Hi Sprinkles!

[14:56:39] Oh I see her now!

[14:56:40] Hi girl!

[14:56:41] Hey!

[14:56:42] Sorry.

[14:56:43] Oh, oh!

[14:56:44] I've seen this track too.

[14:56:49] Which track is this? What highway is this movie it's moved your highway yeah i was gonna say i remember this check okay so someone said this is their favorite

[14:56:52] i have a confession to make i am like lukewarm on this track because

[14:56:56] i would get so irritated when i would get ran over by cars that somehow would

[14:57:01] come up behind me and i'm like but how? But how, but how? That doesn't make any

[14:57:06] sense! I'm being beat up, and for what?

[14:57:08] Why?

[14:57:10] There were also times

[14:57:10] when I was actually just bad.

[14:57:12] This is perfect.

[14:57:13] So we just got the time trial cycle

[14:57:15] from Movie Highway

[14:57:16] and that's like my best and

[14:57:18] favorite cycle. So here is your unfun fact this track has some

[14:57:22] RNG layouts to it so if you pay attention

[14:57:26] where the boost tiles are placed,

[14:57:29] um... You can either just roam on them for free

[14:57:31] or just use a mushroom to

[14:57:33] basically stay tight and skip past

[14:57:35] them. So that's like the only gripe

[14:57:37] that I have about this track is that there's RNG to it.

[14:57:40] But other than that,

[14:57:41] this is a pretty solid nightly drive,

[14:57:45] if I want to say.

[14:57:47] And maybe that's why I had problems with it

[14:57:49] because I thought I would have a route picked

[14:57:51] out and was like nope jk that route don't that's not there no more oh we got one more

[14:57:58] sliding in for Toad Highlander.

[14:58:01] Oh, Toad's right over gracious.

[14:58:04] I almost hit the car.

[14:58:05] Yes you did.

[14:58:08] Does Diddy Kong have insurance?

[14:58:09] Is Diddy Kong old enough to have insurance?

[14:58:13] I always thought

[14:58:14] Diddy Kong was like

[14:58:15] 25 or something.

[14:58:18] Whoa!

[14:58:18] I always thought he just looked young, you know what I mean?

[14:58:22] Like that exists in real life.

[14:58:24] Everyone say hi to Birdo.

[14:58:26] Hi, Birdo.

[14:58:27] Why would you hit her?

[14:58:29] Well, uh,

[14:58:30] that wasn't my fault.

[14:58:31] That was the game running into her on purpose, I had already finished.

[14:58:36] Diddy Kong is anti-Dwamaniac here and if you in chat are pro

[14:58:40] level then you can go to uh can type exclamation FF

[14:58:43] in the chat

[14:58:44] to find out about

[14:58:45] Fatales.

[14:58:47] There's another

[14:58:47] coming up soon.

[14:58:49] I don't know

[14:58:50] what the announcement

[14:58:51] is for that.

[14:58:52] No, it's

[14:58:52] Flying Fatals.

[14:58:53] It's coming up.

[14:58:54] It's going to be August 2nd.

[14:58:57] Actually, someone should do X-Ray Point FF.

[14:58:59] I think it's the 25th.

[14:59:00] I know it's after my birthday.

[14:59:02] I know it's after my birthday.

[14:59:04] But nonetheless, regardless of what it is

[14:59:05] Train fatales, flame fatale, frost fatales

[14:59:09] go out there support the women and mostly

[14:59:13] non-men speed running teams they're gonna be

[14:59:51] And now she said her skin is oily.

[14:59:52] Whoa!

[14:59:54] The toothbrush is in the bathtub.

[14:59:55] I have some concerns.

[14:59:56] Wait a minute.

[14:59:59] No, no. That's their cleaning toothbrush that's okay you know what that's real that's real like who doesn't have

[15:00:04] a cleaning toothbrush you don't even if you don't know what that means, don't admit to it.

[15:00:09] Just leave it be. You have a cleaning toothbrush now.

[15:00:13] You have a cleaning toothbrush now.

[15:00:15] I have three clean toothbrushes.

[15:00:17] You have three cleaning toothbrushes yeah i've won for like my controllers

[15:00:23] yeah then i have one oh no i'm through toothbrushes one for my teeth one of

[15:00:26] my controllers one for like brushing stuff to clean itself.

[15:00:30] Oh, that makes sense.

[15:00:32] I like how you put the one for your teeth.

[15:00:34] Yes.

[15:00:36] I clearly don't auto-count so it's fine.

[15:00:40] Well we're laughing Peter Perrona.

[15:00:43] Oh, the three-yard teams.

[15:00:47] All right, so can I just say that I kind of hate that the soap suds

[15:00:50] are an obstacle.

[15:00:53] Low key, low

[15:00:54] key.

[15:00:56] Like what do you mean

[15:00:58] I wanted to clean myself up and I'm being

[15:01:00] penalized hello

[15:01:02] hello

[15:01:05] just don't hit them or don't get close to them

[15:01:09] yeah i wanted to wash my tires they'd have messed it all up someone in chat mentioned

[15:01:15] ribbon road and i just remembered that i like love river road i feel like mario kart as a

[15:01:20] game just has so much variety in their tracks and it's so much versatility that

[15:01:24] it's really hard to be like oh i absolutely hate a track like even for

[15:01:28] how much i was like complaining about rainbow road earlier there are still

[15:01:31] certain aspects of certain flavors of Rainbow Road that I'm like

[15:01:34] you know this is fine.

[15:01:36] Until it's the things where it's like hey I fell down and I missed my skips so now I'm

[15:01:40] behind by like 40 seconds and I'm actually in eighth And I hate it here. This is LA, right?

[15:01:45] Yes

[15:01:47] Yeah, I remember this because

[15:01:49] I remember one time around the

[15:01:51] Time this came out, uh, Piz was playing this

[15:01:53] In a voice call, right? And I was like watching and I was like

[15:01:56] this is not LA.

[15:01:57] This is like

[15:01:58] not LA at all.

[15:02:01] Yeah.

[15:02:02] And yeah.

[15:02:03] See,

[15:02:03] on the topic of

[15:02:04] tracks that we hate

[15:02:06] This is one of them

[15:02:06] Uh-oh

[15:02:07] We found a track hater

[15:02:09] I just don't like the gameplay

[15:02:12] Of this track

[15:02:13] And then it's also like

[15:02:14] Oh yeah, this is supposed to be L.A.?

[15:02:15] No, it's not Is it is supposed to be LA. No it's not.

[15:02:18] Is it actually supposed to be LA?

[15:02:21] Yeah. This goes super inland and then it's like okay

[15:02:23] now there's oil everywhere. That's not LA.

[15:02:25] That doesn't happen in LA.

[15:02:27] Not the false Angelus, whoa!

[15:02:29] Whoa! That's out of control.

[15:02:32] False Angelus is so real.

[15:02:35] Outta Control.

[15:02:37] Santa Monica Pier, so to-

[15:02:38] that's not LA though! Right? Like...

[15:02:42] Y'all about to make Limey upset

[15:02:46] Also I just love the way- Yeah and then this isn't LA either.

[15:02:49] This is like

[15:02:50] Fresno Bakersfield.

[15:02:53] That's four hours away from LA.

[15:02:55] Maybe it's just under construction

[15:02:57] you didn't know about.

[15:02:58] Although, I do have to agree Maybe it's just under construction you didn't know about. I don't know.

[15:03:00] Although, I do have to agree with people

[15:03:01] who are saying there is no traffic.

[15:03:03] That's like if somebody said this track is St. Louis

[15:03:05] I would be like

[15:03:05] I don't see a Walgreens or an Emo's pizza

[15:03:08] so it can't be. That's not

[15:03:10] real.

[15:03:12] They just got palm trees here.

[15:03:14] This is stolen Californian valor.

[15:03:17] I'll say it.

[15:03:18] Whoa!

[15:03:23] That's the only cool part about LA Labs was that...

[15:03:26] No, once you go on the 405s, you're out of 10. This is what I'm saying!

[15:03:28] Thank you everyone.

[15:03:32] So now we know that GDQ chat regulars

[15:03:34] either are not from LA

[15:03:36] or they are and they don't like it

[15:03:40] Basically AI constructs LA I mean, that's the same thing Basically, AI cosplay.

[15:03:41] I mean that's like the same thing.

[15:03:44] You know...

[15:03:45] LA Cosplay!

[15:03:47] That's fair.

[15:03:49] Stolen California? Wow.

[15:03:53] That's heat... I'm stealing that

[15:03:55] That's in my vernacular

[15:03:57] That's my note

[15:04:01] Speaking of oil oh no they should have done tucson arizona not

[15:04:07] la there's a lovely 50-ish mile bike route

[15:04:09] they could have used 50 mile bike route homie whose legs is doing all that what do you mean

[15:04:16] oh that sounds scary i was gonna mention how this is like a dinosaur track with

[15:04:21] like dinosaurs and it's supposed to be like

[15:04:23] oh wow dinosaurs are so cool

[15:04:25] and then there is oil

[15:04:27] because there is no more dinosaurs right now.

[15:04:29] I know this has nothing to do with Mario Kart

[15:04:31] but i need everyone to know that the Gritty Goose

[15:04:33] is always out of pocket always out of

[15:04:37] pockets i've never seen this emote before

[15:04:44] my jaw's on the floor.

[15:04:46] Oh, hello PD!

[15:04:50] That's a Twitch emote? How old is this?

[15:04:54] It might have been with the most recent wave, if I recall correctly.

[15:04:59] I'm gonna start using that.

[15:05:01] Um... Usher would never point it out.

[15:05:03] Oh no! Now everyone's using it.

[15:05:08] You know what I'm actually surprised i haven't seen for the course of peas is running chat

[15:05:13] anyone who has steering emotes question Question mark?

[15:05:20] Yeah, his gritty not working.

[15:05:23] Oh, it's because it's a limited time only

[15:05:24] emote. I think you have to participate in something and use it.

[15:05:27] That's so sad!

[15:05:29] I've never been so sad to

[15:05:31] not be able to hit the Gritty.

[15:05:35] There is a new level 5 hype train

[15:05:37] emote. Yeah, you need hype train emote.

[15:05:40] Yeah, you need a hype train.

[15:05:42] I feel like I have it.

[15:05:44] There they are!

[15:05:48] There's the steering steering emo set we love

[15:05:49] to do all of us all i'm saying is if we hit

[15:05:52] if we hit a level five right now like can we get it

[15:05:54] like that's how that works

[15:05:58] you can just hit a quick and dirty level 5.

[15:06:03] I regret to inform everyone that I do not have the Gritty Beast, but I DO...

[15:06:08] ...have the Barb Rigi.

[15:06:14] The Brinson Shot? i'll put it there the bard grigey

[15:06:25] i i'm appalled that this exists as well one you know speaking of speaking of steering i forgot

[15:06:27] to talk about the most important thing

[15:06:29] about this game

[15:06:30] coins

[15:06:32] oh yeah i was gonna ask why your about this game? Coins.

[15:06:33] Oh, yeah! I was gonna ask why you're getting certain

[15:06:35] coins and stuff because are you like...

[15:06:37] What's going on with that?

[15:06:39] So, back in Mario Kart 7

[15:06:42] they actually reintroduced coins and basically coins make you faster. Having

[15:06:47] 10 coins puts you around 2.5% faster than your base speed without any coins so uh you could literally um

[15:06:58] Like be like pass someone because they have like zero coins and that's happened

[15:07:02] So many times in my competitive Mario Kart events

[15:07:05] where either I'm the

[15:07:07] either I get punished for not having enough

[15:07:09] coins or I just straight up pass

[15:07:11] someone because they have like 5 coins

[15:07:13] and I have 10. That being being said there's some strategy to it where you can

[15:07:17] uh trail an item and just basically force the person to slam

[15:07:21] the break so that they don't get um trailed by a green in left line.

[15:07:30] Literally, but for time trials and speedruns it's very important to have coins

[15:07:34] That's one big thing to keep in note of if you're ever trying to be faster in this game. Just always go for coins.

[15:07:43] In all the years I've played Mario Kart, I never knew that coins made you faster and now

[15:07:48] I feel like the biggest dunce.

[15:07:52] Is it even explicitly stated anywhere in-game?

[15:07:56] AHHHHH! The last time I checked I

[15:08:04] The last time I checked the like being a manual out of boredom, I think so actually

[15:08:07] I've never read the in-game manual my my life checking your in-game manual out of boredom is

[15:08:11] real that's so real i think that's like the same energy as like like your parents drove you to

[15:08:18] like gamestop to like get a game and then

[15:08:19] you like open it up and you obviously can't play because you're in the car

[15:08:22] on the way back home but like you're looking at the manual and you're like excited i think

[15:08:25] that's the same energy but no no game manual will ever beat the Sonic Heroes

[15:08:31] game manual in my opinion

[15:08:33] I don't know actually I'm going to take that kind of correct

[15:08:36] because the Sonic Heroes game manual is pretty good

[15:08:38] I've always gone completely off tangent but also we're

[15:08:42] gonna get back to talking about this heck and bang video game you're playing

[15:08:45] one of my all-time favorite video game manuals has to be break into musashi

[15:08:51] one of mine i can't believe i'm trapped in a call with two sonic fans talking about

[15:08:54] the sonic games yeah

[15:08:58] tonic game manuals excuse me i mean have you looked at some of them anyway we're playing mario

[15:09:03] kart 8 here games done quick um what's going on with this uh course right

[15:09:08] here what kind of stuff you got to do

[15:09:11] so i like to call this

[15:09:12] Spamcoover

[15:09:13] Atrocity because

[15:09:14] this track's

[15:09:15] name is called

[15:09:15] Vancouver

[15:09:16] Velocity.

[15:09:17] This is a

[15:09:18] beautiful night

[15:09:19] course with

[15:09:21] some slippery

[15:09:22] paths or

[15:09:22] whatever but if you're playing this online

[15:09:24] you need to be careful of your surroundings because you can

[15:09:28] eat a bunch of spam which is why i call it spam poop atrocity um shout outs to battle vc spam proof and trust me.

[15:09:35] Shout outs to Battle of BC

[15:09:35] specifically

[15:09:38] lap three is

[15:09:40] very scary

[15:09:41] high for the shy

[15:09:42] guys here

[15:09:43] and so this so for for Ice Shrink

[15:09:45] you basically go through the ice rink

[15:09:47] but that's actually

[15:09:49] the fast way of

[15:09:51] making that turn. The next time

[15:09:53] we're going to see that turn I'm gonna going to go for a mini-triple trick

[15:09:56] which is much faster than just drifting off of it

[15:09:58] It's just due to the nature of where

[15:10:00] we are turning

[15:10:00] I always thought it was weird whenever

[15:10:04] I was first learning how to play this track fast

[15:10:06] because I would always just go forward and then wonder why I keep going slow, and running

[15:10:11] into a wall.

[15:10:15] And oh inkling girl all my fishes shout out to the vancouver canucks

[15:10:19] i can't wait for october

[15:10:22] i just want to take a moment to special shout out the fact that there's a Piranha Plant in this one.

[15:10:33] There's a Piranha Plant racing!

[15:10:36] Oh, yeah.

[15:10:37] I'm established about eating a piranha. Oh yeah. I missed that memo in your product.

[15:10:40] Oh my goodness! Good ol' Mr. Petey himself

[15:10:44] and I believe we are now into wave 6, so we have eight more courses to go

[15:10:52] seeing 17th race is actually like my brain hurts reading that because i

[15:10:58] feel like if i had to make it past six races and maintain my first place lead,

[15:11:01] I would be stressed out.

[15:11:04] I'd be so stressed out.

[15:11:07] Well in competitive Mario Kart we actually play either 8 races or 12 races depending on where we are in the tournament.

[15:11:14] So basically...the normal is 3 three grand free so uh 12 races and honestly if you do it like like

[15:11:24] like more like just quite a bit don't get used to it.

[15:11:33] But yeah, the scary part is maintaining the crown

[15:11:34] which is really cool like it's

[15:11:36] really cool feature in this game

[15:11:37] because

[15:11:38] it shows who is MVP but also

[15:11:41] shows who y'all need to target so that

[15:11:43] they don't win the lobby.

[15:11:46] This

[15:11:47] is why I'm toxic in Mario Kart

[15:11:49] because if I'm not first place,

[15:11:50] understand that everybody got a target on their back.

[15:11:53] Vanessa, that person is third place.

[15:11:55] I don't care they in the way from my first place.

[15:11:57] Everyone has to die every single person

[15:12:02] as I love how you got chat to talk about sports but go ahead please yeah i was gonna say

[15:12:07] me mentioning hockey one time made all of chad talking about hockey this is my favorite yeah i mean to be fair racing is a sport uh it's true

[15:12:19] it's a sport so this is true This is very true.

[15:12:25] You've heard it here, Mario Kart 8

[15:12:27] Deluxe is just as good as League of Legends.

[15:12:29] Whoa! Time out! Hang on a second.

[15:12:31] Oh wait a second.

[15:12:37] I was trying to keep the conversation on track but now you're actually being

[15:12:40] toxic like what are we doing right now being toxic, clearly.

[15:12:46] Obviously!

[15:12:49] Oh, excuse me.

[15:12:51] We all agree that we don't like the Golden Knights not the players, the organization.

[15:12:53] Always an important differentiation.

[15:12:55] Listen, Anarchy, that was violent.

[15:13:00] No, I agree

[15:13:01] with the Golden Knights message.

[15:13:04] I feel like

[15:13:05] a lot of the takes in chat are just like the most

[15:13:08] like oh yeah no i watch hockey and this is what everyone thinks but also like

[15:13:11] i still appreciate that i still appreciate me mentioning one hockey

[15:13:14] team enough people just come out of the works be

[15:13:16] like yeah i know i don't like the vegas golden knights i love the players about their

[15:13:20] organization you know what i mean like my favorite that's kind of gas though

[15:13:24] i recognize this track too this is

[15:13:29] i'm not gonna try.

[15:13:30] It is DK Mountain.

[15:13:31] I would've got it right.

[15:13:34] Like I said,

[15:13:36] I know some of the tracks.

[15:13:38] I have to be real when it comes to Mario Kart, it really does become a case

[15:13:40] Of no thought

[15:13:42] Only race

[15:13:43] And then I recognize

[15:13:45] The track that I'm on and it's like

[15:13:47] No, but go ahead

[15:13:49] This track is literally like no thoughts just race because them on, and it's like, ugh, no. But go ahead.

[15:13:50] This track is literally milk past its brace because DK Mountain

[15:13:52] is one of my favorites and one of my best tracks online.

[15:13:55] See that? That skip right there?

[15:13:56] I will never be brave enough to do that.

[15:13:58] Ever. Ever, ever.

[15:14:01] I've entertained it

[15:14:03] and I just eat dirt or

[15:14:05] I guess pit every

[15:14:07] time.

[15:14:09] Pit would

[15:14:09] be the more appropriate thing.

[15:14:11] You were actually worried that Hit would be the more appropriate thing.

[15:14:17] We were actually worried that Nintendo was going to basically ruin the track by getting rid of the cut,

[15:14:22] but when we played it and found out they they left the cut back we were all so happy and like this is literally like top five favorite tracks

[15:14:27] for me yeah this one is such a fun one

[15:14:30] So please here's the new plan.

[15:14:34] At the next big event so like

[15:14:34] AGDQ

[15:14:36] something like that

[15:14:37] where we have more of the

[15:14:39] fun events

[15:14:39] that are coming out

[15:14:40] like we had

[15:14:40] the really cool

[15:14:41] Evil Zone tournament

[15:14:42] your objective...

[15:14:44] You're gonna make a Mario Kart tournament.

[15:14:46] Oh my lord!

[15:14:47] You're gonna run it.

[15:14:49] You can even test run it as something like PAX West

[15:14:51] which by the way,'m hoping to be at.

[15:14:54] So if you're going to be going to PAX

[15:14:56] West, make sure you keep an

[15:14:58] eye out for all the information and things

[15:15:00] and stuff around PAX West.

[15:15:02] We're gonna have a schedule coming up here in a couple of days, make sure you use

[15:15:05] XHPoint PAX and chat to get more information on that but nonetheless you should put together like

[15:15:11] Mario Kart tournaments for one of the events. can even use like i said you can

[15:15:15] use packs as a test run i'm not going to be there so you don't

[15:15:18] have to worry about me screaming at people

[15:15:20] but if you do it at agdq the violence absolutely out of loving

[15:15:24] i it's gonna be foul and I'm so sorry to

[15:15:26] fans. Oh yes, ooh

[15:15:30] Here's hoping that

[15:15:34] A I mean I'm even able to go because I shouldn't go to the last event.

[15:15:39] Just time constraints and life so hopefully I'll be able to go to hdq and hopefully um i get some pretty good submissions

[15:15:52] i believe in you you'd be having that good stuff yeah like good stuff

[15:15:55] now see some people when you chat i know you're not on the course anymore but talking

[15:15:59] about some of the more cart meta stuff because you know we're just sitting here and obviously

[15:16:05] he's going fast but But are there any specific things

[15:16:09] you want to call out? Let's say if somebody

[15:16:11] here, it's me, I'm the newbie now.

[15:16:13] Let's say if I wanted to talk

[15:16:15] to you and I want to get into more competitive

[15:16:17] Mario Kart stuff, I want to look into more competitive mario kart stuff i want to look into like more ways

[15:16:20] to be fast and good these tracks what are some things that people highlight

[15:16:24] for cart tech that people should start picking up

[15:16:27] so carte tech um the nice thing about about Mario Kart Deluxe is that there's not very much difficult tech

[15:16:35] you would need to do in order to be faster. My favorite one, and the easiest

[15:16:41] one to explain is something called a slide jump

[15:16:43] but I like it called the Kusan

[15:16:45] Slide because it's named after

[15:16:47] um...like the best

[15:16:49] Japanese Mario Kart 8 Plus player of all time, Kusan.

[15:16:53] Basically all you do is whenever you land from a trick

[15:16:55] You charge a mini turbo for about half a sec-

[15:16:58] no not half a second

[15:16:59] Like throw it

[15:17:00] Actually let me show it right here.

[15:17:02] So just slightly charge your mini turbo

[15:17:04] at least until you see the blue sparks

[15:17:06] and then you hop

[15:17:08] hence calling it a slide jump

[15:17:10] and save at least 0.2 so um but again that only works once

[15:17:16] you land from a trick it's basically how your cart is aligned whenever you're

[15:17:22] whenever you're charging the miniature.

[15:17:24] That being said,

[15:17:25] you also have to buffer

[15:17:26] a drift as you land

[15:17:29] from your trip.

[15:17:31] I think another thing

[15:17:32] is well, of course understanding mini turbos because they're

[15:17:37] very important. Like you can obviously drive in a straight line but that only gets

[15:17:41] you put so far. So understand when if you charge mini turbos and especially

[15:17:46] if you get hit by lightning, um... If you basically do a staking pattern

[15:17:54] charging your minitur trouble from left to right

[15:17:56] you're going to easily pass somebody who's just driving in a straight line

[15:18:00] um i think those are two pretty pretty straightforward uh details to

[15:18:06] getting good at Mario Kart.

[15:18:09] And for this game in particular,

[15:18:11] we do have a

[15:18:13] lounge that Zlamy has mentioned

[15:18:15] earlier.

[15:18:17] It's very large, like literally over

[15:18:19] 20 thousand people

[15:18:21] play

[15:18:23] lounge daily

[15:18:28] At first it's a little daunting because the Japanese community makes up

[15:18:31] a very large portion of the server and also you can learn how to fight against them in those world lights.

[15:18:40] Many people who have seen my run or I even mentioned Mario Kart

[15:18:44] they're like oh I could not beat...like, like, robots are so tough. And then

[15:18:49] I just tell them there's something

[15:18:51] called a lounge server, yada yada yada

[15:18:53] and if you do this and this and this you'll be able to

[15:18:55] beat the Japanese and they're like wow

[15:18:57] Wow Like that, I had and then they're like, wow.

[15:18:59] Wow.

[15:19:01] Like that... I had to process all that for a second

[15:19:02] and I was just like, huh?

[15:19:04] Oh, okay.

[15:19:05] Okay.

[15:19:08] Okay, dude.

[15:19:09] Mario Kart 8

[15:19:10] deluxe is cut

[15:19:10] yes

[15:19:12] oh my gosh

[15:19:15] I should

[15:19:16] this makes me want to

[15:19:17] boot up my switch

[15:19:18] and like

[15:19:18] put in Mario Kart

[15:19:19] it's like maybe I should go pick this back up.

[15:19:21] So I think I have...

[15:19:23] I'm gonna lock in real quick because

[15:19:25] there is a very important NISP coming

[15:19:27] up and I've not actually practiced

[15:19:29] on the hot minute so let's so let's go get it.

[15:19:32] I believe.

[15:19:34] Oh, I got it!

[15:19:36] That was my goat. My goats never misses.

[15:19:40] That was actually gas. Like that...

[15:19:42] And it goes on Twitch.tv, so...

[15:19:44] Twitch.tv slash P's SMB

[15:19:47] Note the P's is plural and then it says SMB

[15:19:50] Follow us

[15:19:51] P's SMB subscribe says smb follow the subscribe

[15:19:54] this slash describe is out of control because we're on twitch

[15:20:01] oh my gosh.

[15:20:06] I don't think I've actually seen this level, and this is stressing me out

[15:20:08] I hate it here

[15:20:12] Yeah, Front Black Cove is pretty fun. There's actually another version of this called Piranha

[15:20:18] Planet Pipeline but that was only in Mario Kart 12. Both these were in Mario Kart Tour

[15:20:21] but for whatever reason they chose to not bring this back in Wave 6.

[15:20:25] Or bring Pipeline back in Wave 6, but they brought back Coke instead.

[15:20:29] But regardless, this is a really fun track.

[15:20:33] I think we have four more courses left? Yeah, we have four more courses left?

[15:20:36] Yeah, we have four more courses left.

[15:20:38] I've not been keeping track.

[15:20:40] I just play the game as I usually do.

[15:20:42] This is like your casual Thursday night chill session.

[15:20:45] You're chilling out, you know, chilling

[15:20:46] out on some Mario Kart. Like that's the tweet right there.

[15:20:49] It's like casual Mario Kart come hang

[15:20:51] and then people come in they see you like

[15:20:52] skipping entire

[15:20:54] triple hairpins of maps and stuff. You're just like,

[15:20:57] yeah, so we're just talking about hockey teams

[15:20:59] and that's it.

[15:21:01] It's like, what is happening right now?

[15:21:04] Also...

[15:21:05] I put the chat into a state of chaos and i i have to take full responsibility for it

[15:21:09] i used to be a sports ball girly and then i became a no-ball md and it was like okay

[15:21:15] fine whatever but the only thing'll always hold dear to my heart

[15:21:18] is with football specifically,

[15:21:20] my favorite team is anyone who beats the Patriots

[15:21:23] and I must just die on that hill for a turn.

[15:21:25] That's my goat.

[15:21:27] I don't care about anything else who's playing the

[15:21:30] patriots i'm their biggest fan i'm your number one fan give me the jersey i'm the one that cheers with

[15:21:35] them now but yeah that's all that's why i started though because like with hockey it's

[15:21:40] like well i don't really know who i like yet

[15:21:42] but i know who i don't like so it says whoever plays against them and then

[15:21:45] beats them my favorite fan or their biggest they're

[15:21:49] my favorite of them or i'm your biggest they're my favorite people

[15:21:52] all right so yeah i think you do have oh my god did

[15:21:55] you just drive through that whole plaza what are you doing yes yes

[15:22:00] got this again Yes. Yes. Not this!

[15:22:02] Again, a casual day, minding your business, eating some cheese curds.

[15:22:06] And someone just zooms by and takes them.

[15:22:09] Sir!

[15:22:11] Sir! Sir!

[15:22:12] What are you running around here?

[15:22:14] But yeah, I think this is...

[15:22:15] I think we've got like three more after this.

[15:22:18] Yeah, three more tracks

[15:22:20] after this one. This is actually the last Mario Kart Tour for the run.

[15:22:25] Actually like the last city tour track that they have made

[15:22:28] so no more Mario Kart Tour after this.

[15:22:32] And we still gotta see that is rainbow road really gonna be the last track as his

[15:22:36] tradition yes

[15:22:39] okay i guess

[15:22:46] i just love that oh we're in the rocket league

[15:22:52] no we're good we're good. We're good.

[15:22:53] That would be a dope new minigame for Nintendo

[15:22:57] because they have all their sports spinoffs

[15:22:59] but where is the game where you use the shoe?

[15:23:03] We want that one.

[15:23:05] We want that one.

[15:23:10] Honestly, before anything

[15:23:11] I want Mario

[15:23:13] well, I want another Mario baseball game on Switch.

[15:23:16] I skipped Super Sluggers, because it didn't have motion controls

[15:23:21] and that was a big baseball game

[15:23:24] so Mario Baseball is the reason why I started

[15:23:27] playing baseball anyway,

[15:23:28] but

[15:23:29] it kind of sucks that they haven't

[15:23:33] made another

[15:23:34] Mario Baseball-like game.

[15:23:36] Apparently, I can't remember another Mario baseball-like game. Well, apparently it's...

[15:23:38] I can't remember if it's in Sports Mix?

[15:23:41] Um...

[15:23:41] I also did not play Sports Mix.

[15:23:44] Even though

[15:23:45] it's super underrated,

[15:23:47] I remember when the first game was

[15:23:49] and some of my friends had it.

[15:23:51] But even then,

[15:23:52] I never really played it myself

[15:23:54] but we did get a new Mario Strikers, but unfortunately that one was just...

[15:24:02] Basically if you had online, you would enjoy Switch Sluggers. I did not. That was like a waste of $60 for me oh

[15:24:10] i hate that for you i hate it so much i hate this turnpike

[15:24:14] that you're doing too because this is again

[15:24:16] me being high in anxiety the way i could just see myself falling off of that.

[15:24:22] Okay now...

[15:24:24] Ice World... This is

[15:24:26] this track? Um

[15:24:28] I used to- this was my least favorite track mario kart 7 but then when they brought it back

[15:24:32] in this game um this is literally like one of my favorite tracks for running first that's another

[15:24:38] thing too if you play competitive Mario Kart there are certain tracks that people like to pick for first so they can get an easy breakaway.

[15:24:45] There is also tracks where you can easily catch up on due to the nature of item item set or essentially like how how the beginning is

[15:24:54] so like this beginning if you drive

[15:24:57] so close to people, you're getting pushed off

[15:24:59] or drafted off the track. That's what

[15:25:01] you don't want to happen.

[15:25:05] Can we talk about soft drifting yet?

[15:25:07] Oh!

[15:25:09] Yeah, we have not.

[15:25:12] Actually, can you explain soft drifting, Ryan? We have not. Oh yeah, actually

[15:25:13] can you explain something about Wyoming?

[15:25:15] Yes! The one thing I don't want to explain. Yes!

[15:25:18] It's my time.

[15:25:19] Okay, so

[15:25:20] you can kind of see he is drifting a lot because the way that we have to play

[15:25:26] the game is very focused on mini turbos.

[15:25:28] To maintain a good line, especially as he's snaking through these straightaways

[15:25:32] He will do this thing where you start the drift

[15:25:34] and it'll kind of hold a very shallow

[15:25:37] angle like along the top of the stick

[15:25:38] instead of just kind of holding like straight

[15:25:40] in because it will help him

[15:25:42] charge like the mini turbo still faster

[15:25:46] than just holding neutral,

[15:25:47] but he'll get a shallower angle

[15:25:49] and that's very useful for a lot of lines.

[15:25:51] It's like very, very important.

[15:25:54] I hope my little demonstration was

[15:25:58] admissible, but yeah that's basically top drifting and this beginning is very tough

[15:26:02] because you guys starting in first puts you a little bit closer to

[15:26:06] um that ramp there basically you're

[15:26:09] trying to get an empty trick and the

[15:26:10] cool song slide into

[15:26:12] each one of the tricks so it's very like

[15:26:15] it's very tight like...it's very tight.

[15:26:17] So this is...we call it BCP but this is Bowser Castle 3

[15:26:21] Not to be confused with the one in-the GBA version

[15:26:25] Not to be confused with that be confusing this is the original

[15:26:30] i'm just impressed that i was able to keep up when you said that going to that ramp is dangerous

[15:26:35] because you're gonna try and get a trick out of a Puzo slide

[15:26:38] right away. And I was like, oh my god,

[15:26:40] I think I'm learning. I get it.

[15:26:43] I see what's happening. That

[15:26:44] was dangerous though.

[15:26:46] That was...

[15:26:46] I can't say that I want to, but that was very close.

[15:26:52] Yeah.

[15:26:54] Fun fact!

[15:26:56] If I was a little faster with my driving,

[15:26:58] I could actually not worry about that cycle completely.

[15:27:01] But this is the safe lines that I take just

[15:27:04] to make sure I'm able to get through this part

[15:27:07] and ensure that I get the double trick there.

[15:27:14] Oh, that was perfect! That was perfect!

[15:27:17] And now that lava doesn't come up I need to make sure I don't fall off the track here

[15:27:19] because it looked like I was just about to.

[15:27:22] I mean, your last laugh

[15:27:24] didn't look like you were about to.

[15:27:25] That's why I was like...

[15:27:26] Oh, Ethan, girl, please.

[15:27:30] Okay, cool.

[15:27:31] She was in my line.

[15:27:33] I'm seeing some love for the lines and chat please

[15:27:35] All I'm saying is if you love the lines

[15:27:37] You should follow my go

[15:27:39] My push to be a slash please has to be a social thread

[15:27:41] Someone just booty bumped me It's in the pinned message

[15:27:43] And it's also in the title

[15:27:45] It's all a piece

[15:27:46] You can also watch his runs

[15:27:50] Whenever he inevitably gets accepted to another

[15:27:52] Unapologetic black and fast

[15:27:53] exclamation UBAF.

[15:27:55] Yes, it's true. It's very true.

[15:27:57] Go get those. I think if you go

[15:27:59] to the UBAF playlist or the Juneteenth playlist

[15:28:01] hold up one of Final Race everybody lock in never mind it's

[15:28:04] rainbow road everyone hates it here you don't have to lock in um you can see some of pisa's

[15:28:08] runs because i think lucky or log out i'm taking that oh my god i am taking that. Oh my god!

[15:28:13] I am taking that. Actually,

[15:28:15] I don't know if SJ is in chat.

[15:28:16] I'll take it after the next time we do Elder Ring co-op.

[15:28:18] Lock in or log out.

[15:28:20] One or the other has to happen.

[15:28:22] But this thing where you keep dying,

[15:28:24] I'm not about it.

[15:28:28] I'm so happy that this is going

[15:28:29] to start catching on now.

[15:28:31] I love that.

[15:28:33] I was going to say,

[15:28:33] P's,

[15:28:33] I think for UBAF and Juneteenth you

[15:28:36] ran Puyo Puyo a couple of times

[15:28:38] I think you did

[15:28:39] there's like a...I forget what it is but it's like

[15:28:41] Puyo Puyo and Tetris and you did the Puyo Puyo

[15:28:44] side. I believe you've done some Hecandang

[15:28:47] Monkey Ball, which by the way

[15:28:48] if you're enjoying

[15:28:50] Pease's runs, you should hear his commentary

[15:28:52] he's going to be on the next run doing some Hecandang

[15:28:54] Monkey Ball. And I think

[15:28:57] those are the main

[15:28:57] ones I've seen you

[15:28:58] run,

[15:28:58] and I think

[15:28:59] there's one

[15:28:59] out there that

[15:29:00] can't remember

[15:29:01] what it's called

[15:29:01] in the past.

[15:29:02] It was Pokemon.

[15:29:04] Ah yes!

[15:29:04] Pokemon!

[15:29:05] How could I forget

[15:29:05] that?

[15:29:06] It was probably

[15:29:06] Pokemon. I was like how could I forget that? I was literally about to say it's probably Pokemon.

[15:29:08] I'll say how could I forget that considering the fact

[15:29:10] that I was commentating it and I had to explain

[15:29:12] in a chat how I don't play Pokemon games

[15:29:14] and people were like, how are you on the couch

[15:29:16] And I'm not on the couch on the host

[15:29:21] yes and i was just like i don't know any of what's happening

[15:29:24] i just i was like that actual auntie just going that's nice sweetie

[15:29:28] for a lot of it.

[15:29:31] Is this Mario Kart Wii Rainbow Road?

[15:29:33] I don't know. Yes.

[15:29:35] Yes it is.

[15:29:37] It's a lot different because this is 100 anti-gravity that's another thing well then

[15:29:42] again marker has been like after 10 years everyone should know that this is like this market but

[15:29:48] this is only the marker game with withgravity and you basically go faster if

[15:29:51] you hit somebody or it or if you try to run into somebody. And actually which brings me

[15:29:55] to this neat little now well, it's a fun fact but I can't remember the exact name

[15:30:04] But the reason why they actually made it so that whenever you run into someone on anti-gravity um it's

[15:30:13] it's it's some japanese

[15:30:17] game i think like not a video game but

[15:30:20] something in something like

[15:30:22] like we're like racing um and i think someone compared to the beyblades

[15:30:26] or something like that i don't exactly remember but

[15:30:30] um bro i love beyblades don't even get me started

[15:30:34] oh i was on playground oh i was i was undefeated for a little bit

[15:30:38] um so something's asking i don't know if you did it already but

[15:30:42] did you do a rail skip?

[15:30:44] Are you going to do a rail skip?

[15:30:45] Uh, well the only thing I'm gonna

[15:30:48] Do is time

[15:30:49] Oh fantastic

[15:30:50] Not that she ran off the edge For time too

[15:30:54] Okay so I think we got one more question

[15:30:57] Before we let you do like some minor shout outs

[15:30:59] Because you're going to be back on here

[15:31:00] So I don't see any reason for you to be like

[15:31:02] I'm gonna give all my shout outs and then i'll see you in two minutes

[15:31:04] um someone said what was the reason behind the cart and wheel choice sure uh so the

[15:31:11] reason why i was using ditty on the bididdy, is because

[15:31:15] I want to maximize

[15:31:17] the mini turbo stat as much as I can.

[15:31:20] And it's also easier

[15:31:21] to crank out drifts and mini turbos

[15:31:23] versus using a Teddy.

[15:31:29] So... mini turbos versus using a teddy so um and and also the glider choice as well uh it's it it's one of the lighter ones

[15:31:35] so it basically basically allows you to crank out the drifts versus using a heavier glider where it's much more difficult to uh basically handle so and then i think of video yeah something

[15:31:54] um well why are you thinking about someone a lonely neuron would like to know

[15:32:00] are you a total boss online

[15:32:09] if you if you watch my lounge streams, yes and also no.

[15:32:11] Now the reason why I say no is

[15:32:13] one of my favorite

[15:32:15] flaming people jokes

[15:32:17] is I like to call them Lil Bro.

[15:32:19] So whenever

[15:32:21] I'm getting mad at someone for

[15:32:24] making a very weird play,

[15:32:26] I'm like, Lil Bro really thought

[15:32:28] he could get away with it.

[15:32:30] Or I can flame myself whenever I fall off the track

[15:32:34] or get punished for making a mistake.

[15:32:36] Then I'm just like well,

[15:32:38] I just made a lowbr play. That's so cool.

[15:32:41] All right.

[15:32:42] I'm going to do one more question for you.

[15:32:47] Then we're going to go ahead and hop over the break.

[15:32:49] Project Zero Oana wants to know how long have you been playing

[15:32:57] there you go that's your answer oh oh That's a lot

[15:33:03] of hours. And that's

[15:33:04] only for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

[15:33:06] Oh, that's a lot of number.

[15:33:08] That's high number.

[15:33:10] That looks like a number I get upset when I play in Bellatro.

[15:33:15] That looks like a number that I'm glad

[15:33:18] that I can't track it on things like my Bloodborne

[15:33:21] because, I was telling other people i think

[15:33:23] bloodborne is the only game i have that

[15:33:25] has a comma in it

[15:33:27] so i'm just like i'm so grateful but i

[15:33:29] can't track that because it's not on

[15:33:30] steam libraries and nothing like that

[15:33:32] and ps5 now is trying it, and I'm like,

[15:33:34] hey, I need you to mind your business.

[15:33:36] Why don't you go over there and give me

[15:33:38] themes again or something? Because I need

[15:33:40] you to stop tracking how long I play stuff.

[15:33:44] But yes,

[15:33:45] since the both of you are going to be on

[15:33:47] here again, we're just going to be swapping

[15:33:49] some positions. I am going

[15:33:51] to say thank you so much P's for that

[15:33:53] Mario Kart race. Thank you also for just like the

[15:33:56] entertaining run because I know

[15:33:57] that we talked about tech and

[15:33:58] stuff in the latter half of it,

[15:34:00] but nonetheless,

[15:34:00] it was a really nice chill time.

[15:34:02] It was very,

[15:34:03] very just casual.

[15:34:04] Hey,

[15:34:04] we're going to go play some

[15:34:05] Mario Kart and like hang out and kick it that was

[15:34:08] really really needed because this week has been chaos for me i also had like a bag of goldfish

[15:34:12] while it was happening too it was great so we are going to take a small break just a small break to get set up for our

[15:34:20] next game and whatnot i'm gonna go ahead and give you your self hecking care reminder this is a good

[15:34:25] time for you to get up stretch your, do what the mods were talking about.

[15:34:28] Un-shrimp your back! Maybe go get some water? Get you a heck and dang snack?

[15:34:33] And we'll be back here with some Super Monkey Ball by L by lining in just a moment Thanks for watching! so so I am like you. believe so ¶¶ so so ¶¶ so so so so so

[15:40:29] you ¶¶ so so ¶¶ so so. so so. so so so so so so The run back, I'm proud of myself because

[15:40:32] I almost called this the Run Black and

[15:40:34] I felt like that was a little bit too on

[15:40:36] the nose, but now that i've said it out

[15:40:38] loud I kind of feel like everyone's

[15:40:39] gonna be like no that's probably what you

[15:40:41] should have called it. So we'll just call it a missed

[15:40:43] opportunity and if we come back on here

[15:40:45] at some point, we'll call it the run black. Everybody

[15:40:47] will know what they're talking about but we talked

[15:40:49] a lot in that last run about things like Frank they towels and how they have an event coming up

[15:40:54] and how you can find all the runs over on youtube.com

[15:40:58] games done quick but another important thing for everybody to know is that

[15:41:01] you can join our official

[15:41:03] GDQ Discord and then

[15:41:04] just know about all the upcoming events

[15:41:06] all the places that you can find things

[15:41:08] and all the information about GDQ right there

[15:41:10] right away at your heckin dang fingertips so that you don't

[15:41:13] have to go through and have like 800 bookmarks that you're never going to check because

[15:41:18] that's just me being real.

[15:41:20] I don't check my stuff anymore but if you have it in a nice nifty place,

[15:41:23] it makes your life

[15:41:24] a little bit easier.

[15:41:26] And while we're on

[15:41:27] that same topic,

[15:41:27] this is your same reminder

[15:41:29] that you can go to

[15:41:30] gamesandquick.com

[15:41:30] slash hotfix

[15:41:31] if you need more information

[15:41:32] specifically

[15:41:33] about the show. As a matter of fact just go to

[15:41:35] gamesandquick.com and bookmark that it'll have all that information

[15:41:38] that you can get in that discourse we have it into hecking dang friendly locations

[15:41:42] you see me holding my dark chocolate here that was

[15:41:44] my self-care i'm eating some 72 cacao dark chocolate because I

[15:41:48] was feeling like a little bit sweet but a little bit

[15:41:50] bitter as well so I believe our next one is going to be with Limey, who's on comms.

[15:41:58] Limey's the runner now.

[15:41:59] Doing some Super Monkey Ball.

[15:42:02] What was it? Deluxe 2? No, it's deluxe.

[15:42:06] Well you're doing super monkey ball too. Is it deluxe to you? No, it's deluxe. It's deluxe. Do a Super Monkey Ball.

[15:42:07] Well, you're going to do the Super Monkey Ball thing

[15:42:09] and I'm just gonna panic the entire time

[15:42:10] because Super Monkey Ball is stressful

[15:42:13] but this is UMPs bag of chips

[15:42:15] so Imma let you two take it away.

[15:42:18] Yeah, uh Ty, I was just on comms for the last Mario Kart.

[15:42:23] Uh, I am limey underscore SR,

[15:42:25] I'm a monkey wall runner

[15:42:28] and currently doing the worst challenge that I've ever thought of. This is actually really hard, I have to walk into this.

[15:42:30] This is a PB well done.

[15:42:32] Ah never mind.

[15:42:34] I was trying to bounce on the striker from

[15:42:36] the stage striker as many times as I can and that was like five.

[15:42:38] So, that was cool!

[15:42:42] Yeah, I'm a Monkey Ball runner

[15:42:44] I am here playing

[15:42:46] Super Monkey Ball Deluxe in Super Monkey Ball 2,

[15:42:49] which is just a fan-made port of Deluxe

[15:42:52] that was only released on the Xbox.

[15:42:54] Don't worry about the PS2 version.

[15:42:56] You will never know about that.

[15:43:01] It was ported onto the gamecube with like

[15:43:06] the good engine and everything yeah and this is great and we're gonna create time doing this uh y'all just met peas but if future, like teachers or something.

[15:43:09] Sure! Hi everyone! I hope you all enjoyed awesome Mario Kart.

[15:43:14] I mainly run Monkey Ball games as well

[15:43:18] but funnily enough this era of Monkey Ball is actually my favorite to play at least casually.

[15:43:25] A lot of us grew up playing these games but Deluxe is definitely the one that I have

[15:43:30] the most memories with.

[15:43:32] Well, the combination of 1 and a lot, so...

[15:43:34] Yeah, before we get started,

[15:43:35] I just want to give a quick shout-out

[15:43:36] to the Monkey Ball modding community

[15:43:38] because they create a bunch of levels all the time

[15:43:40] and they do level jams.

[15:43:41] It's very cool.

[15:43:41] It's very accessible to get into at this point uh shout out specifically to brandon smb who was i think

[15:43:47] they were the person who led this project of getting this supported

[15:43:51] i have to interrupt you for a second,

[15:43:53] it just dawned on me that P's

[15:43:55] SMB is for Super Monkey Ball!

[15:43:57] I am leaving! Oh my gosh!

[15:44:04] Got it dude I'm not going to lie to you.

[15:44:08] Anyways, yeah so we're gonna be playing through story mode in this version of the game

[15:44:10] when they made it

[15:44:12] they couldn't get all 20 levels from MonkeyBot Deluxe's story mode into the game.

[15:44:17] So there are just 10 and there is all of the exclusive versions of the levels.

[15:44:21] I'm going to be playing through all of those. And I am not gonna be using Post Tracks, so...

[15:44:26] Hopefully, I don't bungle anything too badly.

[15:44:30] Yeah. Full transparency,

[15:44:33] I'm running this because Bobby, love Bobby.

[15:44:37] He had to drop Semi last minute and I was like well I mean

[15:44:42] Monkey Ball is always a good time.

[15:44:44] So it's gonna be great.

[15:44:46] So yeah we're just here to have a great time. Pisa is already on, so it's gonna be a great time. So yeah we're just here to have a great time uh still if you're watching Bobby or watching this later we love you to pieces

[15:44:52] Love you yeah um but would anyone other than me like to give a countdown?

[15:44:59] I did the last countdown, P's you gotta do it

[15:45:01] Alright, I got y'all

[15:45:03] 3...

[15:45:07] 3... And TP says it's your turn on the countdown. Oh lord.

[15:45:08] 3, 2, two and a half…

[15:45:12] One…

[15:45:14] Zero go.

[15:45:17] The energy is ugly.

[15:45:17] This is Monkey Ball, if you've seen Monkey Ball runs before it's pretty similar to all of those. We're going to be using boosting to get,

[15:45:30] To do a lot of these levels really fast and gain momentum

[15:45:32] Really quickly because this game pulls inputs in a square.

[15:45:35] You can kind of see an input here on the top right

[15:45:37] I forgot also shout out Compose Flame

[15:45:38] Because I'm using practice mod for this game input here in the top right. I forgot to also shout out Complex Flame because

[15:45:39] i'm using a practice mod for this game. Yes, there's a practice

[15:45:42] mod! Um yes it is also really good um but

[15:45:47] uh like I said you can kind of see that the game mostly puts in a square.

[15:45:51] So the further away from the center of like the square,

[15:45:55] the stronger...

[15:45:59] I have to lock in for this.

[15:46:00] This is a little difficult, hopefully we get the skip.

[15:46:03] Oh!

[15:46:05] Yeah...

[15:46:07] So basically another thing too is that...

[15:46:12] So one of the things So basically, another thing too is that... 1-2 in Deluxe

[15:46:14] these games are

[15:46:16] deterministic meaning that whatever

[15:46:18] frame

[15:46:20] you're on,

[15:46:22] you're always going to get the exact same

[15:46:23] outcome.

[15:46:24] But since we are

[15:46:24] playing Pauseless,

[15:46:25] we're basically...

[15:46:26] Yeah, let's go

[15:46:27] gambling.

[15:46:28] We're hoping to

[15:46:29] get clips and not

[15:46:30] sorps, so... Yeah, and there's a couple of levels i'm gonna be trying

[15:46:35] to just do basically like put the pause strap but posless where it's like a handful of frames

[15:46:39] i get to be able to do this if i't get it, I just kind of have to restart

[15:46:43] until I get it.

[15:46:45] It is a little bit painful

[15:46:46] but I do like playing process.

[15:46:47] It's very fun

[15:46:48] and it's pretty accessible

[15:46:49] for new players as well

[15:46:50] so you get this.

[15:46:53] I'm bad at doing this version of the strat

[15:46:55] okay nice meanwhile you get it on the first attempt

[15:46:59] yeah this game is a baby game for. That's all I'm trying to say. Wow!

[15:47:07] I mean, I guess...

[15:47:08] I can't play these for anything.

[15:47:10] I remember I tried to play there as

[15:47:11] a mobile game of Super Monkey Ball.

[15:47:13] This was like 874 years ago, y'all know

[15:47:16] I'm ancient

[15:47:17] and like

[15:47:19] I love the Monkey Ball mobile games

[15:47:20] I'll say it

[15:47:21] I'm bugging you so bad

[15:47:23] but quite literally I remember trying to play a mobile version of this

[15:47:28] and i was just like so angry all the time all the time and i was like this game

[15:47:34] is a baby game for babies and i'm so bad at it this is garbage especially if uh you don't

[15:47:39] have like built fundamentals just from playing thousands of hours at this point

[15:47:43] uh it is a very difficult game hopefully but nope, I don't get this.

[15:47:47] Oh yeah,

[15:47:48] yep.

[15:47:49] I go for that every time

[15:47:50] and I've gotten it

[15:47:50] maybe once.

[15:47:52] It doesn't lose

[15:47:53] that much time either,

[15:47:53] it's like maybe

[15:47:54] one second roughly?

[15:47:56] not bad.

[15:48:00] Just going out of your way to try and go into the clip

[15:48:06] uh yeah for storybook there's 10 10 worlds with 10 levels each um that was the first one we're already done I was under 30 minutes

[15:48:09] So making good time

[15:48:11] I'm going to be going for this boss strat

[15:48:13] It is 3 frames

[15:48:14] Nope, I missed it

[15:48:16] Oh yeah

[15:48:18] Yeah, that's whatever I've gotten It's right in there. Oh, yeah.

[15:48:20] Yeah it's whatever.

[15:48:24] I've gotten most of the way once so I think it's funny to try.

[15:48:31] So if you recognize any of these stages they're actually um mainly from super monkey ball one because the way that they did destroy modes in deluxe so obviously there's 20

[15:48:36] stages half of them are lucky well two stages the others uh consist of the swp one

[15:48:43] stages and some include the the stages that exclusive to

[15:48:46] deluxe and composition is is one of them there's

[15:48:49] actually a handful of them in the first world,

[15:48:53] but

[15:48:53] your Monkey Ball tidbit of the day...

[15:48:56] There was originally going to be a Monkey Ball 3

[15:48:58] it was actually trademarked at some point

[15:49:00] but it was cancelled due to unknown reasons.

[15:49:02] But they actually ported over some levels that they had already made

[15:49:06] for this third game of the GameCube over to

[15:49:10] Xbox and PS2.

[15:49:15] That being said, there's also a brand new Monkey Ball game that y'all should definitely

[15:49:17] pick up! I was actually about

[15:49:19] to lead in with that comment.

[15:49:22] I was gonna to say,

[15:49:23] like they just released

[15:49:24] a new Monkey Ball game

[15:49:25] because I am

[15:49:26] actually kind of

[15:49:27] mutuals with

[15:49:28] the main Sega PR guy

[15:49:30] and I remember

[15:49:31] seeing him talk about it

[15:49:31] he's just like

[15:49:32] oh I'm terrible at this

[15:49:33] and I'm still going to play it and I'm like oh i'm terrible at this and i'm still gonna play it

[15:49:34] i'm like that's real that's so real i don't know if you're dedicating that because of your job or

[15:49:39] because like you actually feel that way but either way yes was. What is it?

[15:49:44] Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble?

[15:49:46] Yeah, Banana Rumble.

[15:49:47] Mm-hmm.

[15:49:49] I can't wait to see y'all

[15:49:50] actually get to that.

[15:49:51] Oh, awesome.

[15:49:51] Get to speedrunning

[15:49:52] that in specific

[15:49:53] because there's going

[15:49:54] to be like all types of

[15:49:55] new stuff and i'm still looking at it be like yep

[15:49:58] this is me being stressed all the time all the time

[15:50:03] oh that whole skinny walkway?

[15:50:07] This is me being stressed.

[15:50:12] I'm kind of tweaking right now.

[15:50:13] I would like everyone to know this.

[15:50:15] Limey convinced me to buy Marble Mage like 20 minutes before Pisa's run.

[15:50:18] Oh, so you took the Bellatro influence and just spread it in a different direction? I see what's going on.

[15:50:24] What's a marble mage?

[15:50:31] It's basically just um banana rumble but you can't be forward

[15:50:37] you can't move forward yeah so you have to like depend on your charge a lot it's very cool

[15:50:44] oh so i so basically a better version of sonic labyrinth got it yeah ooh sonic labyrinth is the throwback yikes yikes, yikes. Oh that makes my brain

[15:50:49] sad.

[15:50:53] So are there...

[15:50:55] Go ahead.

[15:50:57] No you go. I was going to ask about some

[15:51:00] of the strats and stuff for this because

[15:51:01] is there... Obviously

[15:51:04] you can see like the controller there and you're

[15:51:06] using the analog sticks to

[15:51:08] move the board around and stuff. Are there like any type of physics

[15:51:11] strats that you have to implement in order to make sure

[15:51:13] you do certain things? Like, do you need

[15:51:15] to fall from a certain distance to get a certain jump

[15:51:16] bounce height and stuff or

[15:51:19] what kind of other things do you do to like make

[15:51:21] these go the as fast as you do because i know

[15:51:26] sometimes it's like a flick and now all of a sudden your entire board has

[15:51:29] like turned around yeah there isn't anything that's like super

[15:51:33] super crazy in this game but um yeah a lot of the stuff will kind

[15:51:38] of be self-explanatory especially as we get into like some of them more

[15:51:41] complicated levels uh this pack starts very very like

[15:51:45] uh

[15:51:53] yep Uh, ah. We'll try that one. Oh, yep, yep.

[15:51:57] Okay I'm gonna try the older version.

[15:52:01] Ahhhh That was like a brain one. That's ugly work.

[15:52:06] Whoa!

[15:52:08] Yeah I just did the one where you're laying in the bunch and it's so funny.

[15:52:12] Okay. It's bullying you.

[15:52:14] Close enough.

[15:52:16] It's almost hard.

[15:52:18] Oh no, please.

[15:52:22] You're chasing it! Just like, back wait time out i'm gonna try this once actually

[15:52:31] oh that's a five-pack window.

[15:52:36] That's another thing as well.

[15:52:39] The cycles are extremely different

[15:52:41] from Monkey Ball 1 to Deluxe

[15:52:44] and I think this is basically

[15:52:47] a fan game

[15:52:49] that's one-to-one

[15:52:51] to Deluxe's cycles?

[15:52:52] Yes.

[15:52:55] Some of the stages are a little bit slower Okay.

[15:52:59] Some of the stages are a little bit slower than the, well some are faster and some are slower

[15:53:02] then SMB1's due to them like basically making

[15:53:06] their cycle start start well before

[15:53:07] you know

[15:53:08] like the goteks shows up

[15:53:10] and this

[15:53:13] is one of them as well

[15:53:14] yeah

[15:53:16] um one thing that i totally just forgot to mention is

[15:53:20] uh i'm kind of doing some of the new style

[15:53:23] menuing where uh it was found out fairly recently

[15:53:26] actually that if you hold down the R analog

[15:53:29] all the way

[15:53:30] you can

[15:53:32] make the menu cursor advance

[15:53:35] at a full speed before the menu is even

[15:53:37] pulled up. I'm going to try this a couple of times.

[15:53:40] Okay, nice!

[15:53:44] It advances uh the menu cursor basically faster so you can just buffer the we try input

[15:53:52] and then peas if you'd like to quickly talk about like the stage select

[15:53:56] and uh retry

[15:54:12] i gotcha so Yo, I got you. So basically at the beginning of each stage we pause and retry because it loads the stage much faster than just holding down the A button and seeing the names and all that stuff. And the reason why we stay select is for

[15:54:15] that same reason because there's, we're basically skipping a lot of

[15:54:18] animations. That being said you can accidentally exit game which

[15:54:23] you have to go through a set of menus and actually in Monkey

[15:54:28] Vault Deluxe with the PS2 and Xbox, those versions are actually updated

[15:54:34] versions of Monkey Ball 2.

[15:54:35] And same with the Japanese version of Monkey Ball 2

[15:54:38] where there's actually a glitch

[15:54:40] where you can exit game by accident

[15:54:42] and then

[15:54:44] menu out in order to retry the stage or go back to station like and that's

[15:54:49] actually uh the glitch that we performed for

[15:54:52] the 80% category.

[15:54:58] Even though it's really super easy to...

[15:55:02] I learned how to do this today by the way, so I'm just...

[15:55:09] This stage is actually really cool and Limey is definitely aiming for that part

[15:55:13] Just so you get that specific bounds and we love these

[15:55:18] that's my god right there

[15:55:20] that's my goat like you guys should follow limey underscore sr it's like you're so nasty you should

[15:55:34] not this but that being said, it is an independent message

[15:55:38] if you want to follow twitch.tv

[15:55:39] slash slimy underscore SR

[15:55:40] You should. Slash subscribe.

[15:55:44] It's in the title too.

[15:55:45] Jesus.

[15:55:47] That's my girl.

[15:55:50] That has the same energy as a Nostani's...

[15:55:53] People have been saying this.

[15:55:54] People have been saying this.

[15:56:03] Also shout out to the Stani, oh my god. The SGDQ 2024 schedule I was on it right after the Stani.

[15:56:07] This is true, this is very very true. I was on it right after the Sony. This is true, this is very, very true.

[15:56:09] I was on your back couch!

[15:56:11] You were?

[15:56:12] Yeah, you were on that couch.

[15:56:15] That was a fun one.

[15:56:17] Oh god! Hold on... oh okay i'm not oh god it's fine yeah hold on oh oh i i see it i see this

[15:56:25] okay no like this is

[15:56:29] stressful.

[15:56:32] I just realized

[15:56:33] that all of those are thinner

[15:56:35] depending on which one you go to. That's nasty.

[15:56:38] What?

[15:56:39] You're so close.

[15:56:41] Okay, now I'm pretty sure...

[15:56:44] I was trying to do it for the swag.

[15:56:45] So if y'all don't know, warp goals do not work in story mode.

[15:56:52] Basically, the menuing in story mode. Basically, the menu in story mode is basically practice

[15:56:54] mode but as an actual

[15:56:56] adventure mode style thing.

[15:56:58] So warp goals

[15:57:00] you don't skip stages in story mode.

[15:57:01] You have to play them.

[15:57:05] But if you want the extra score points

[15:57:08] by all means go for it.

[15:57:11] I see someone in the chat making a comment on looking at the chat.

[15:57:15] Yeah, I mean, I'm a chat looker-atter like of course that was a phrase you said those were some words

[15:57:22] A chat looker- her not a chat reader

[15:57:25] a chat looker at her

[15:57:31] oh no what an uh no no. See, this is stressful.

[15:57:38] I also love all the screams and shrieks of the monkey too.

[15:57:44] Just like literally panicking

[15:57:46] as you're still just navigating around.

[15:57:50] Yeah, I'm confident.

[15:57:51] I isn't but it's not my first time.

[15:57:56] I mean, to be fair, like Lorabro is literally just being bounced all

[15:58:02] like everywhere. Of course he's gonna be worried.

[15:58:08] Getting into the next world, there is going to be a lot more random and complicated stuff where I have to make sure that I do my inputs right to like

[15:58:17] make certain cycles uh there's a one stage called uh chaser

[15:58:22] that was really big for that because it is pretty

[15:58:25] difficult but hopefully we'll land at the goal once

[15:58:27] I get there um

[15:58:30] There's like a little uh

[15:58:32] Like these little ramps that I can like hit off with hopefully this first try

[15:58:36] Oh okay, this one too

[15:58:40] this is stressful i know calum it's okay jammer bar moment right

[15:58:46] yeah and uh it's the same with this level but with much smaller ellipses. I can be trying for one frame perfect input and then that was too early.

[15:58:56] No! The freeze frame of that though the monkey looks so happy

[15:59:02] even though it's falling to its death one perfect input until i get three frame window

[15:59:07] it is very difficult but there's a posture up here that like takes you all the way to

[15:59:11] the end my promise version would take you about halfway it sucks don't do it

[15:59:24] i also love how homie is just rolling on the side. Did we explain boosting already, Limey?

[15:59:28] Yeah.

[15:59:29] Okay.

[15:59:33] I do want to make sure because

[15:59:34] I probably

[15:59:35] didn't hear the word boosting

[15:59:38] I did hear like

[15:59:40] controller

[15:59:41] inputs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. i did hear like you know like controller control inputs yeah all that stuff oh also

[15:59:46] uh hope everyone in the chat likes rng i'm not in japan but I enjoy RNG.

[15:59:54] Oh, you mean RNG derogatory?

[15:59:55] Yes.

[15:59:56] Got it.

[15:59:58] Oh, that was gross!

[16:00:02] That was actually a little toxic.

[16:00:03] Yeah, so these slips are so close to the ground that it's almost like human ifto-RNG trying to get try to get it so that you

[16:00:15] get a little clip of it uh it is very difficult

[16:00:20] but i can avoid the last one i was just going for swag on the last one.

[16:00:29] Yeah, this is that level I was talking about

[16:00:29] where I just attempt

[16:00:31] to fall into a goal.

[16:00:32] You'll see.

[16:00:36] Oh! that looks so old that was i was like that was close though yeah then

[16:00:41] i back up a little bit that was a little bit too early. Yeah, this is pretty specific.

[16:00:47] And also to answer the...

[16:00:49] Oh no!

[16:00:51] Nice live.

[16:00:52] Nice live.

[16:00:52] What do you mean?

[16:00:54] Well, we just take the other color.

[16:00:57] Okay fine, it's fine.

[16:00:59] So to answer the age-old question

[16:01:01] are we controlling the monkey or are we tilting

[16:01:03] the stage? The answer is

[16:01:05] uh...we're... we are tilting gravity

[16:01:09] um so how you can tell that you're tilting gravity is

[16:01:12] you're actually also controlling like

[16:01:15] how the party ball is moving

[16:01:16] You can get a shot in the background here

[16:01:19] now like the goals in this game at least your speed runs are

[16:01:22] a complete bully especially if you're doing falling strats you have to make

[16:01:25] sure that you hit the tape and not the party ball um which is why i'm really glad in

[16:01:33] actually at least an adventure of the party ball oh rip i was screaming like I'm playing!

[16:01:41] You can break the goal just by hitting the party ball but for most modern Monkey Ball games you could just pass through the finish and you're over there.

[16:01:52] But no, you're not exactly controlling the ball

[16:01:57] it's gravity that you're controlling.

[16:02:02] Shoutouts to the party ball for that one.

[16:02:06] I was too focused on looking at

[16:02:07] the party ball and then I died of the rain.

[16:02:12] Sad day for fans of GDQL and then i died at the end

[16:02:15] sad day for fans of gdq on fix push out tv slash games on quick it's a channel you're watching right now if you didn't know

[16:02:19] that have you followed the channel yet you

[16:02:20] should didn't know that. Have you followed the channel yet? You should.

[16:02:24] I don't know why you wouldn't be following the channel, that's weird.

[16:02:26] You should also use your subs and your Prime Game subs and your GIF subs and stuff to

[16:02:28] help support us over here on

[16:02:30] twitch.tv slash gamesandquick.

[16:02:32] This is GamesAndQuick Hot F and quick, this is a game of quick hot bits

[16:02:34] And this is the run back that you're watching

[16:02:36] with Lightning SR doing wild monkey ball things

[16:02:39] I literally can't deal with this game

[16:02:41] but Anarchy is correct

[16:02:42] because I was actually entirely locked in I am not playing this game but anarchy is correct because i was actually entirely locked in

[16:02:44] i am not playing this game and i am just like i have to focus on what what am i focusing

[16:02:52] what are you even doing?

[16:02:53] Difficult stage coming up, everyone.

[16:02:55] It's so hard.

[16:02:56] Really hard, it's like one of the hardest- oh.

[16:03:01] We're halfway through the game now!

[16:03:10] I'm so glad we did that wait oh no another difficult stage you have to like go all the way down the swirl. Wait, what? Oh no!

[16:03:16] You jinxed it.

[16:03:17] To be fair, that can't happen.

[16:03:23] Commentator curse.

[16:03:24] This isn't my fault, Fjord.

[16:03:28] There we go.

[16:03:29] Okay to be fair goalposts suck in Monkey Ball.

[16:03:35] They're not as bad

[16:03:37] in Banana Mania,

[16:03:39] but...

[16:03:40] Iron Golem,

[16:03:42] if I can call it.

[16:03:44] Yeah.

[16:03:54] Did you all know that there's actually other Monkey Ball games aside from this and Banana Rumble?

[16:03:55] Did you know Super Monkey Ball Junior exists?

[16:03:56] I would not talk about that.

[16:03:59] It's my worst enemy

[16:04:06] why do you dislike super monkey ball junior i won't like the free education please

[16:04:10] so the junior right it's basically like a souped up Super Nintendo. They made a fully 3D game on the Game Boy Advance and by golly was it impressive!

[16:04:18] Yeah, it impressive? Yeah.

[16:04:20] It was so cool. It does not play well,

[16:04:22] not remotely. Nor did

[16:04:24] Age Roll either. However,

[16:04:26] it did give us Touch and Roll.

[16:04:28] Yeah, Touch and Roll's good.

[16:04:30] Touch and Roll is like top five mobile games us touch and roll yeah

[16:04:40] i know the last time i commented your run of monkey Balls, you were joking about me picking up Monkey Ball.

[16:04:42] But maybe I could.

[16:04:44] I feel like this is my level of irritating for what it is.

[16:04:49] Oh message in chat is every monkey Ball game super? Fun fact! No! There is one Monkey

[16:04:54] Ball game that's not super and it's the original one. Yeah this is the original arcade release

[16:04:58] with uh nana joystick and everything. That is the only one that is not super...

[16:05:03] Arguably, that is the most super lucky ball.

[16:05:05] Exactly.

[16:05:08] Okay.

[16:05:10] A little bit sad.

[16:05:11] Also, shout-outs to the stage that I'm on right now.

[16:05:13] Oh, nice! That's all I was going to say.

[16:05:17] Yeah it's a nice stage, I like it. It plays well.

[16:05:21] This next stage that I'm going to be playing,

[16:05:24] I have to lock in a little bit.

[16:05:27] It is one of the big goals for people who've played Super Monkey Ball 1

[16:05:32] for the Nintendo GameCube. It is Expert 7 if you're aware

[16:05:36] of that, it's called Exam C in Deluxe. I have to play that. I'm not allowed to skip it.

[16:05:45] Playing this stage with the PS2 controller is a nightmare.

[16:05:48] It's genuinely awful.

[16:05:50] I'm gonna just take this a little slow, so I can make sure I can do this quickly.

[16:06:00] Okay, now that you've died,

[16:06:01] I get to drag you.

[16:06:03] I'm going to take this a little slow

[16:06:04] so that I can do this quickly.

[16:06:07] What even are words?

[16:06:09] If I, okay

[16:06:10] if I die 8 times

[16:06:12] right but I get like

[16:06:14] 30 left on the in-game timer.

[16:06:17] That's fast, but it took so much time with my death.

[16:06:23] If I finish with a 5 on that game timer then it's like...

[16:06:27] I did it first try funnily enough uh this stage got a slight

[16:06:32] rework in banana mania they they upped it to 90 seconds and

[16:06:37] they also changed the shape of

[16:06:38] the wire.

[16:06:42] Honestly, the time is not a problem. It's literally

[16:06:46] A where its placed, and B, the wire.

[16:06:49] Originally there was a Japanese trailer of this stage being shown as one

[16:06:55] of the master stages which you would unlock by not getting a continue at all in like

[16:07:02] during the run. But alas for whatever reason they decided to slap

[16:07:07] this as a seventh stage of expert but thankfully you know they adjusted it for

[16:07:13] newcomers and then there's also a special mode. I'm talking about Inbananamania by the way,

[16:07:17] i didn't already say that. There is a special mode in Mad Mania called Original Stage Mode, and...

[16:07:23] ...I should probably be quiet here.

[16:07:26] So Adam just take this look.

[16:07:29] I can do this way faster but I I really just don't want to die.

[16:07:32] But like, give it a while first try...

[16:07:34] There we go. Nice!

[16:07:36] Yeah so I have a couple people in chat-

[16:07:38] Yeah, I have people in chat

[16:07:40] calling me out for the fact that I rage a lot at TarUnite's

[16:07:44] what is the actual mode called?

[16:07:48] What was that?!

[16:07:50] Oh, ball race.

[16:07:52] Yeah.

[16:07:53] So for those of you in chat who want to get the Monkey Ball experience but

[16:07:59] you notice that Steam only has like two Monkey Ball games,

[16:08:04] you should check your Humble Bundle.

[16:08:06] Which by the way, they're wonderful and I think... I don't remember if we still have

[16:08:07] the SGDQ bundle up there

[16:08:09] but if they do, you should go grab that.

[16:08:10] But um,

[16:08:11] they have something called Ball Race

[16:08:13] and it's pretty much Monkey Ball, but instead of a

[16:08:15] cute little monkey with like

[16:08:17] cute clothes and a pigtail and stuff

[16:08:19] that's in there, it's an avatar

[16:08:20] that's made on the Steam Workshop. That's why mine is

[16:08:23] always going to be the Darkest Dungeon

[16:08:24] Plague Doctor. So,

[16:08:27] yeah, I get kind of toxic

[16:08:29] on Ball Race, it's true,

[16:08:31] but I will never be as toxic as

[16:08:33] Ak-Ak, who we met at SGDQ.

[16:08:37] He was the lone

[16:08:38] not...

[16:08:39] He was the one that at

[16:08:41] Bogo de Chalmime

[16:08:42] is accountable for

[16:08:44] one of these things and he is not like the other.

[16:08:48] Oh, you weren't at FOGO because

[16:08:50] you had other stuff going on. Well yeah

[16:08:52] so I got to meet him but no

[16:08:54] he gets stressed. Not stressed

[16:08:57] stressed.

[16:08:59] But yeah, I mean

[16:09:01] I don't think I'm that bad

[16:09:03] it's just when you're playing on levels that are

[16:09:05] very hard difficulty, it's

[16:09:08] stressful. But it is fun.

[16:09:10] Ball race is super fun.

[16:09:12] And then Laz Lotus

[16:09:14] between ball race and golf

[16:09:16] that's probably where I spend my most time. And then we make fun of one of our friends who wastes all their money on a wheel of money

[16:09:22] because they want the Ice Moon Condo, and they'll never get it,

[16:09:26] and it's very funny.

[16:09:29] I should play this level a little bit fast just

[16:09:31] in trying to make certain skill by the end.

[16:09:35] The stage is also much more difficult

[16:09:37] in this version because

[16:09:38] it starts differently compared

[16:09:40] to Monkey Ball 1's.

[16:09:43] So,

[16:09:44] actually, literally for the rest of

[16:09:46] this game, it's just SMB1 Expert.

[16:09:48] Yeah.

[16:09:49] Oh! The SGDQ bundles should be one expert

[16:09:54] oh the sgdq bundles up for another week y'all should go like snatch that up it's got a lot of good stuff in there sure does

[16:09:58] sure does

[16:10:16] i'll go grab you that right now while we watching some hecking dang monkey ball oh this is anxiety Not bad. World is like the hardest one, because it's like the hardest stretch of...

[16:10:24] Yeah, it's the hardest stretch of stages in Lucky One World Expert except for that one.

[16:10:27] That was an extremely challenging level.

[16:10:29] Wait a minute Limey isn't-

[16:10:31] I'm pretty sure this is the part where like

[16:10:35] um, like this is the longest stretch of Monkey Ball Stages

[16:10:38] where you start facing towards the goal.

[16:10:40] No it's the best last ones.

[16:10:42] Oh, oh, oh, ass ones, yeah, okay.

[16:10:47] And it's only because in Monkey Ball 1 there is one bonus level that has a goal and it

[16:10:52] is right in front of you.

[16:10:53] Oh yeah, duh!

[16:10:58] Okay then again I forgot that

[16:11:01] bonus stages exist but they're playing in story mode so they don't exist

[16:11:07] yeah oh please okay thank you anarchy i'm gonna need you to stop bullying me in the mods.

[16:11:20] Ooh! Oh, so in that... There's a few more hard straps here.

[16:11:22] A couple of those like- well, I'm just going to keep trying

[16:11:24] the pause strap pauseless until they get it. like well i'm just gonna keep trying the

[16:11:25] cause strap pause list until they get it

[16:11:28] y'all know the vibes

[16:11:31] i was going to say speaking of vibes in

[16:11:33] that their bundle there's this game uh

[16:11:35] someone on the stream might be familiar with it

[16:11:38] it's called nickelodeon all-star brawl 2. it's in

[16:11:41] the humble bundle for sgdq what's that uh nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2.

[16:11:47] Are you familiar with it?

[16:11:48] Yeah I've never heard of it.

[16:11:49] Oh that's weird.

[16:11:50] Yeah.

[16:11:51] Thought you would have known it.

[16:11:52] Do you know a goat named Limey underscore SR who is kind of cracked at NASB?

[16:12:00] Not at all.

[16:12:02] Oh, okay I see.

[16:12:05] I do play multiverses though!

[16:12:07] Oh my god, you're so gross

[16:12:09] you're gross you're actually toxic on hotfix i can't believe this

[16:12:15] i just love how my plot fighters move at the pace of like maybe like a snail

[16:12:20] that's just sega by the way what made you say that

[16:12:23] peas

[16:12:27] i literally looked over from the humble bund was just like oh that's the sega logo

[16:12:32] surprise did you know sega made this game

[16:12:36] no way really wow segoe would never make, they just make the Dreamcast without the...

[16:12:41] Yo! That's actually

[16:12:43] toxic! Why?!

[16:12:45] Why did Sega just catch that stray?!

[16:12:47] I'm going to my neutral being like yo you're catching

[16:12:49] strays on hotfix bro

[16:12:53] sega knows i love them because i love monkey ball and also i like the sonic

[16:12:56] stuff pretty sonic is pretty good

[16:13:00] i'm the only person who will defend forces other

[16:13:04] but go ahead please speaking of sega uh did you all know that uh sega actually made a

[16:13:11] first ball they helped develop a first-party Nintendo game in, I believe 2003?

[16:13:15] Either 2003 or 2004 by the name of F-Zero GX.

[16:13:20] I've never heard of that.

[16:13:22] You're so guilty!

[16:13:26] Um... but yeah-

[16:13:27] Unironically though, I do love SROGX

[16:13:30] It's so good, but uh...

[16:13:38] Yeah, that's not my racing game well if i want to play extra gx i'll just play marquardt ds okay maybe as you. I'd say Richard actually ate you up with that.

[16:13:46] I hate to report that in.

[16:13:48] I hate to do that to you.

[16:13:50] That's so over here.

[16:13:53] That's actually toxic behavior,

[16:13:56] and by the way, Chad, if you're enjoying this toxic behavior don't forget to follow and

[16:13:58] subscribe to our channel because all that

[16:14:00] stuff helps with...

[16:14:01] Awwww that'd be cool

[16:14:02] All of that stuff helps!

[16:14:05] Wait Hold on I can't focus oh that still helps wait

[16:14:06] hold on i can't focus

[16:14:09] just the way you bounced up that was so

[16:14:13] so

[16:14:15] that's a two frame perfect strap by the way.

[16:14:17] And I was close enough to say I almost got it.

[16:14:21] Oh gosh, yeah so subscribe to our channel.

[16:14:25] Are you gonna do the, but on this side?

[16:14:29] Oh.

[16:14:29] Yes, you are.

[16:14:30] That's my girl right there.

[16:14:31] I have a posture set up for that if I just do that pose.

[16:14:37] Oh, wait. Wait. I have to say hi to Bobby Byrne!

[16:14:39] Wait a minute.

[16:14:41] I almost pulled the ultimate boomer move

[16:14:43] but I started saying out loud when I was going to type

[16:14:45] I'm so glad I caught myself.

[16:14:49] My favorite what i was gonna type i'm so glad i caught myself my favorite but yeah we're getting until into a more chill part of the game

[16:14:54] somehow this is uh world nine

[16:14:56] the last two worlds of the game? You say that and then

[16:15:00] yeah, oh, are we gonna play

[16:15:02] the stage? I don't wanna

[16:15:04] play the stage but I'm probably gonna have to.

[16:15:06] Okay, I'm going to try it again.

[16:15:11] This is just RNG.

[16:15:12] I'll tell you right now,

[16:15:14] I boost the beginning of it.

[16:15:16] Good enough.

[16:15:22] For some reason I do like a weird hold up

[16:15:25] Where it's not actually a hold up

[16:15:26] And I'm just outside of the notch

[16:15:27] For some reason It's much more consistent in Deluxe.

[16:15:34] Oh! Speaking of which...

[16:15:36] Now there is actually a slight-

[16:15:38] Hopefully?

[16:15:40] So... Hopefully? Hopefully. So, oh...

[16:15:42] You're gonna do the thing?

[16:15:44] Hopefully. Maybe?

[16:15:46] Okay.

[16:15:48] I got this first try earlier and I haven't played a stage since

[16:15:50] earlier.

[16:15:52] There's like a small,

[16:15:55] three quarter of a second time save there where you can kind of just hit off that corner

[16:15:56] and then bounce into the goal

[16:15:59] instead of having to go all the way around.

[16:16:02] And this saves almost no time.

[16:16:04] So, fun fact! This stage on the original version

[16:16:08] I should say... There's actually a reflection

[16:16:12] On the 360 version...

[16:16:13] Well if you play this on 360

[16:16:16] The backwards compatibility did not port itself too well

[16:16:19] So the game just lags

[16:16:21] Yeah, this is one of the easier levels on 360 I'll say that

[16:16:28] Yeah So so this is one of the easier levels on 360. i'll say that yeah so if you would rather like you know do like in like a vanilla like deluxe run you would just play the original

[16:16:32] xbox version um because it's much faster, but also

[16:16:36] you can play with the Xbox controller

[16:16:38] which is not that comfortable.

[16:16:41] Do you not like

[16:16:42] the Xbox controller or is it just for Monkey Ball

[16:16:43] and you don't like it? For pausing, it's really bad.

[16:16:45] Oh, okay. That makes perfect sense.

[16:16:48] Because of where the Start and D button are placed

[16:16:52] especially on the original Xbox S controller

[16:16:55] It's fine but not for pausing.

[16:16:59] So you have to use the Duke in order

[16:17:01] to get reliable pause frames.

[16:17:04] Which like sucks.

[16:17:07] My hands are too small for the Duke to be able to play the game

[16:17:12] It's just so specific, like the way you're just like this sucks

[16:17:16] Yeah... I have crushed it.

[16:17:22] Yeah, Antlion is super-rushed for a 2 frame

[16:17:24] posture where I would just kind of bounce up

[16:17:26] and then do like a weird adjust to get into the ball.

[16:17:30] It's not that bad of a strat but it's like again two frames

[16:17:34] and each frame has a different adjustment so it's like still difficult for what it is

[16:17:43] yeah almost done with world nine here i'd rather inform everyone that while this

[16:17:47] has been happening i am on the actual struggle train because

[16:17:54] I cannot find my humble bundle login.

[16:17:58] Oh no it's over.

[16:18:02] It's actually over, I can't believe this.

[16:18:05] Oh the work is ugly.

[16:18:07] OH! I got in!

[16:18:13] Oh...I was gonna say colon open parenthesis but now I'm going to say colon closing parentheses.

[16:18:18] That's why I love the level and I love this level's name it's so good.

[16:18:20] I don't even know where it comes from but...

[16:18:22] It's a good level name. What? Pirates? Yeah.

[16:18:26] Probably like because of the base

[16:18:28] of a pirate ship. I dunno. That's actually

[16:18:30] probably right. I have to lock in so hard right now.

[16:18:40] You did it.

[16:18:42] You did the thing, Proud of you.

[16:18:46] Richard, hide that smit. Let's change history.

[16:18:52] Hit you with that smooth exclamation point,

[16:18:53] not exclamation point,

[16:18:54] question mark.

[16:18:56] Actually the fact

[16:18:56] that this doesn't say

[16:18:57] like estimate

[16:18:59] ball percent

[16:19:00] is impressive

[16:19:01] because usually

[16:19:02] the estimates be out of control too.

[16:19:05] Richard, I know how you operate.

[16:19:07] I can't get this! Oh no.

[16:19:09] What do you mean you can't get it? Yes you can.

[16:19:12] There ya go.

[16:19:14] Yeah that's a two-frame perfect ish...

[16:19:18] I messed up so bad.

[16:19:20] Two frame perfect ish Ostrat to get up here.

[16:19:23] You can get it pretty frequently, but to have enough speed

[16:19:26] to get all the way like I want to get is very hard.

[16:19:32] Oh, okay.

[16:19:36] Yeah because I'm trying to bounce off of the corner Oh, okay. I...

[16:19:36] Yeah, because I'm trying to get a bounce off of the corner

[16:19:38] so I can make up for it.

[16:19:40] I was thinking,

[16:19:40] I'm pretty sure you full send it

[16:19:42] and give me that bomb.

[16:19:43] Yeah, I have not gotten the frames

[16:19:44] to go to full send it yet.

[16:19:46] Got you.

[16:19:47] So, I'm just gonna play it.

[16:19:51] This level is difficult.

[16:19:54] This is one of those where it's like...

[16:19:56] If I don't get the ones there's not really a good alternative other than just doing this which is quite a bit slower. Yeah, I've seen in the chat lock-in or log out.

[16:20:12] Wow! Anarchy said that.

[16:20:14] Oh, Vayne said that. Never mind.

[16:20:17] Well you see it instead of logging out i just put my pc on hibernate

[16:20:25] not bad you said lock in or sleep mode. That's heat!

[16:20:32] And occasionally, like whenever I go on a trip that's when I shut down my PC

[16:20:36] but other than that you know

[16:20:38] I usually don't log out.

[16:20:44] So I'm always locked in.

[16:20:46] My anarchy's saying quote.

[16:20:49] I can't believe it! I'm making guess making estimate because I hit all of my silly frame perfect

[16:20:55] strats that I have to do.

[16:20:56] You should go for the green one.

[16:20:57] Okay, I could do that.

[16:20:58] Let's go.

[16:20:59] Let's go.

[16:21:00] That is so cool! go. Let's go.

[16:21:04] That's so cool. We get to skip two stages. Oh, wait.

[16:21:07] Bad news.

[16:21:09] Stairs and ball game.

[16:21:11] Okay, because I run banana blitz

[16:21:13] I'm inclined to love stairs- funny, inclined

[16:21:17] Yikes! You're not supposed to call out the bad jokes

[16:21:21] you're supposed to let people put it together.

[16:21:25] No, but actually this level is toxic!

[16:21:27] What do you mean steps in ball game?

[16:21:30] There we go. That's what I was trying to go for and, I just messed it up twice. It's fine.

[16:21:36] That was ugly. Yeah there is only a couple more levels left

[16:21:38] before we are done here

[16:21:42] Before anyone makes fun of me in the chat, I did say, Bobby...

[16:21:48] Love you man.

[16:21:50] Had to drop so...

[16:21:52] This is a nice rest thing okay?

[16:21:56] And I don't play Castlevania.

[16:22:00] So you don't stand at ledge and then press the B button

[16:22:05] take this, throws the axe.

[16:22:09] You didn't talk about that strat,

[16:22:10] that's not cool.

[16:22:11] I'm like the only one who does that.

[16:22:15] By the way time is coming up.

[16:22:16] Yeah, time's coming up... in time!

[16:22:18] I can't believe that was a 35 sec. That is so impressive. Thanks for watching.

[16:22:23] Oh my god you're messy.

[16:22:25] That was also like also like the quickest smash

[16:22:27] roast jokes i i've ever made and then the throw was over

[16:22:32] i don't even know what to do with jowl anymore you're messy

[16:22:37] all right i've never been messing my life anymore. You're messy.

[16:49:46] 3, 2, 1

[16:49:48] Go!

[16:49:50] So there is a small chance that I could reset it at the start as well

[16:49:54] What is this? This is like

[16:49:58] a side category which allows the use of

[16:50:02] this DK coin.

[16:50:03] Sorry, Cremcoin cheat, which

[16:50:05] normally if you wanted to

[16:50:07] get all the DK coins, aka

[16:50:09] beating Mario, then

[16:50:16] you the dk coins aka beating mario then um you would need to do all of the bonuses in every level and beat uh every main boss to get each of the prem points to be able to access

[16:50:21] The Lost World, which

[16:50:24] their bonus levels

[16:50:26] also have a DK point

[16:50:28] in each and

[16:50:29] the extra boss that you fight as well

[16:50:32] has one so

[16:50:34] we can uh access all the lost world levels thanks to their cheat and not having to

[16:50:38] you know full complete the game with that it's pretty fun. And yeah, so

[16:50:44] beating Mario is basically...

[16:50:46] If you've ever seen When You Beat the Game,

[16:50:48] then how the credits... Or right before

[16:50:50] the credits,

[16:50:51] Cranky Kong is trash-talking as usual.

[16:50:54] Just like in all of the trilogies.

[16:50:58] He has a podium for Cranky Kong's greatest video game heroes

[16:51:03] Mario's at the top of the podium with 39 DK

[16:51:07] points so they have to collect all 40 of them

[16:51:11] to like out it's out place in the on the podium and on that podium isn't there it's like what it's sonic

[16:51:20] mario oh god i'm trying to remember third Is it the third one Crash Bandicoot?

[16:51:26] No no, so there are

[16:51:28] Sonic shoes on the ground

[16:51:30] beside a trash bin which is kind of funny

[16:51:32] but... Right.

[16:51:34] It's Yoshi and Link are the other two.

[16:51:37] Oh my gosh, yes.

[16:51:39] Okay, fantastic.

[16:51:41] And yes, for your knowledge

[16:51:42] I am a Super Mario hater.

[16:51:44] I actually don't have any problems with the Mario games

[16:51:46] and whatnot

[16:51:46] and it has nothing to do with the mario games and whatnot

[16:51:47] and it has nothing to do with the fact that i am like a very big sonic fan

[16:51:51] is just it's not my bag of chips

[16:51:54] i would rather play a danky Kang or Kirby. This is

[16:51:59] your reminder, I will be putting out the petition

[16:52:00] make Kirby the new Nintendo mascot, please.

[16:52:04] And

[16:52:04] you say what?

[16:52:07] I'd be down with that.

[16:52:08] Yes,

[16:52:09] I'm game for it.

[16:52:10] Mr. Shasta's in chat awakening as we speak

[16:52:11] just like excuse me

[16:52:12] hi yes hello

[16:52:13] I am here to support

[16:52:15] this petition

[16:52:15] please sign

[16:52:16] the summons

[16:52:18] right actually summoned it's like i'm awake but nonetheless that

[16:52:23] that is your deep lore for today and i do have to agree with chat donkey kong country 2

[16:52:27] is probably the best one and it is arguably my favorite one because i started on donkey kong

[16:52:31] country 1 but the the duo with diddy and dixie actually kind of unmatched it's actually kind

[16:52:38] of a match oh thank god that uh the end of that level sometimes you can

[16:52:43] uh cause a soft lock to happen where if you hit the goal too low the camera will like

[16:52:48] infinitely scroll down so i was a little worried going for the faster strat there.

[16:52:51] I thought about just not doing it,

[16:52:54] for Varakon's safety...

[16:53:00] If you're a big Mario fan, I am NOT sure what to say Oh my gosh.

[16:53:03] If you're a big Mario fan,

[16:53:05] I am not trying to like yuck your yum I promise. It's very fine.

[16:53:07] I'm just very extra.

[16:53:08] I'm aware of who I am as a person.

[16:53:12] And also perfect RNG for the swipe that was it that was actually really smooth

[16:53:15] that was great yeah the crow he um on those last two cycles when he hits

[16:53:20] the nest you have like a 50 chance to get a real or fake egg on those

[16:53:25] last two cycles yeah happened to win the coin flip twice in a row so um

[16:53:31] the odds were not my favorite but yeah just wanted to point out that I got lucky.

[16:53:34] Hey Marathon look!

[16:53:36] Don't- you can't curse it!

[16:53:38] Now you done messed it all up!

[16:53:40] Now you're gonna wind up in a spot that's like

[16:53:42] Oh yeah so this is really easy skip and then all of the sudden your entire

[16:53:45] controller was going to stop working at that precise

[16:53:47] moment.

[16:53:49] That's so possible, oh my god.

[16:53:51] That's what I'm saying! Like what are you doing?

[16:53:54] You can't be taunting luck out here

[16:53:56] like this.

[16:54:00] Oh sorry.

[16:54:02] Whoa did you just fall into that lava

[16:54:04] for a hot second?

[16:54:06] Yup, yup.

[16:54:08] Fortunately it's like a pit at the bottom so you can

[16:54:10] get partially

[16:54:13] into the lava without

[16:54:14] taking damage or anything like that.

[16:54:18] But yeah,

[16:54:19] that roll is slightly

[16:54:21] faster but we also

[16:54:23] call it a swag roll there.

[16:54:25] Oh, fantastic!

[16:54:28] As it should be called. Death and like that bee is right

[16:54:30] there too on top of that so...

[16:54:32] Love that. I think it's cool

[16:54:34] No, it IS cool. Like it looks

[16:54:36] really cool. Especially imagine being like young and seeing that happen

[16:54:40] for the first time you just know that someone's mind was immediately blown immediately blown well

[16:54:47] and it's the same thing too that kind of happens when you're

[16:54:49] looking at things like when you cartwheel off

[16:54:51] the edge because while I don't run this game

[16:54:53] there are some tech pieces that I do

[16:54:55] kinda use when I'm even playing it casually

[16:54:57] in the fact that

[16:54:59] When you cartwheel off the edge

[16:55:01] The game maintains your momentum to let you continue cartwheeling

[16:55:04] But you can still jump out of this

[16:55:05] So you kind of get like a pseudo long jump out of it

[16:55:09] And that closes so many gaps. And then,

[16:55:11] of course later levels are like oh you should do that! It's like but

[16:55:14] you never told me I can do that... Like why would I

[16:55:17] think of that? Yeah what's weird is that uh okay so

[16:55:21] it's a tech- It's the same tech in Donkey Kong Country 1 but

[16:55:25] I'm pretty sure that in that game it doesn't tell you but um

[16:55:29] In this game like... Okay so I'm also guilty

[16:55:32] of this as a kid.

[16:55:34] Not reading but... Oh no!

[16:55:36] One of the

[16:55:40] What's it called? Cranky Kong.

[16:55:42] One of his levels on the map, you can pay him creme coins to

[16:55:46] get... sorry, pay him banana coins and he'll give you

[16:55:50] tips but he does tell you about rolling off of the ledge

[16:55:53] in this game particularly.

[16:55:57] Yeah DKC1 also has that tech, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't tell you

[16:56:01] anywhere about that stuff. And then someone in chat's asking i'll go ahead

[16:56:05] and answer while you're focusing up um someone said what's the beat mario condition so beat

[16:56:09] mario in this category is getting all the dk coins because at the end of the game they give you like a

[16:56:15] three-person podium that has like his first second third at the top of it it's going to be mario with

[16:56:20] 39 coins so beating mario means you get 40, which is also all coins in the game.

[16:56:26] Yep.

[16:56:27] All coins in the game.

[16:56:30] Yeah, we also do have two other side categories.

[16:56:32] So beat Yoshi, which you need to to get like just enough to be basically so he has 29.

[16:56:39] So you seem to get 30 for that category and then on beat link with she has has 19 so getting 20.

[16:56:46] Oh yeah that makes perfect sense. This is why I don't remember it

[16:56:48] correctly. I just put all the mascots of

[16:56:50] time on there and it's yeah you're right

[16:56:52] they're all Nintendo mascots and then they have

[16:56:54] the Sonic shoes by Trash Can

[16:56:56] my poor child couldn in disrespected i

[16:56:58] couldn't believe this you know right so my fingers is it rayman's gun or earthworm jimmy

[16:57:03] i think it might be it's earthworm gym it's earthworm jim's uh pistol yeah i knew there was like also by the trash bin too

[16:57:12] yeah no hopers with the texts because

[16:57:15] yeah they're like trash talking I guess like the second best

[16:57:18] Yeah well it's really

[16:57:20] funny too because we were talking

[16:57:23] in other channels elsewhere

[16:57:25] about advertising

[16:57:26] in the 90s and how Nintendo, once upon a time

[16:57:30] used to be about that life

[16:57:31] because they actually were spicy with their stuff

[16:57:33] And that was some of that same timeline

[16:57:35] where it was like

[16:57:36] They trash talk Sega

[16:57:37] They trash talk Sony

[16:57:38] There was a moment in life where

[16:57:41] nintendo didn't care they're just like we're better than you and they just rocked with it

[16:57:46] it was like i don't know what's happening but, and everyone was like that.

[16:57:51] That's what was even wilder.

[16:57:53] That's what was even wilder.

[16:57:56] Yeah, make it spicy to sell

[16:57:57] and stuff, and they're just like, we have to be

[16:57:59] bullish, and it's like do we also shout out

[16:58:03] to uh rhino and other people or other animals that you get to use

[16:58:06] that have in-vone frames and can murder everything

[16:58:09] we love that for you all.

[16:58:13] Oh, go ahead.

[16:58:16] Oh, sorry? Go ahead. No, please. You're talking about your run.

[16:58:17] Fat fingered the wrong button there.

[16:58:19] Okay, it's fine.

[16:58:21] Yeah, I was going to that yeah this level is uh...

[16:58:24] Normally in runs for this category

[16:58:26] it's a pretty big reset point if I

[16:58:28] die after the halfway point

[16:58:30] or lose Rambi after the halfway point or lose randy after the halfway point then um it is very slow to

[16:58:36] beat this level without randy oh also just loses time but just doing it for uh swag

[16:58:41] because you know some of that oh it's backwards i just saw that

[16:58:45] that's dope that's dope also i wanted to highlight

[16:58:48] for everybody the fact that you were using

[16:58:51] uh he said he's rambi yeah Yeah. Okay, you were using him and

[16:58:54] while sprinting, jumping

[16:58:56] right after that sprint it looked like so

[16:58:58] you're getting all the momentum and just kind of boosting

[16:59:00] forward because otherwise you would dash

[16:59:02] forward. Exactly.

[16:59:05] Yeah.

[16:59:05] But someone in chat has a question for you.

[16:59:07] I don't know if it's a question for you, but we're going to go ahead and pose it for you.

[16:59:10] Do you think this is the hardest DK for SNES?

[16:59:13] And if not, what is?

[16:59:15] I think... decay for SNES, and if not, what is? Ooh.

[16:59:18] I think... Oh my gosh.

[16:59:19] I think three is harder.

[16:59:22] I think they intentionally tried to ramp up

[16:59:24] the difficulty in that game relative to the other two. So I think by

[16:59:27] a natural progression of it being a sequel, they wanted to improve on compared

[16:59:32] to the uh other two games. That's why my vote is for free.

[16:59:37] Chat, today I learned that the parrot can spit coconuts to deflect stuff.

[16:59:43] Are you serious? Oh my god!

[16:59:45] I'm so irritated

[16:59:53] Yeah the enemies hooks and uh big guys the cannons you can block their cannonballs with it

[16:59:58] I am so annoyed that I never knew

[16:59:58] That

[16:59:59] No, I'm actually

[17:00:01] Like salting a

[17:00:03] Little bit

[17:00:03] What do you mean?

[17:00:04] I could have just

[17:00:05] Blocked stuff

[17:00:06] I think I didn't know that during my, at least my first and maybe second playthrough of this game.

[17:00:13] But I know I figured it out later like on my own over the years the years. But for sure

[17:00:20] within the first two playthroughs I didn't know

[17:00:22] either.

[17:00:24] Not a work as nasty.

[17:00:28] Hopefully I don't die to this hover as well uh

[17:00:30] i believe messed it up twice yesterday and i was like oh my gosh that's like a really rare

[17:00:35] uh death for me in general everyone's for the scale john oh no't know that boy like barely

[17:00:42] hovered across and made it

[17:00:44] but um there is like a consistent setup

[17:00:46] to uh

[17:00:49] to make it work almost every time

[17:00:51] if you know how

[17:00:53] to execute it.

[17:00:54] There's a video

[17:00:55] tutorial on the

[17:00:56] Donkey Kong Country

[17:00:58] speedrun with me,

[17:00:59] so I just used

[17:01:00] that and learned

[17:01:01] how to do There's like two other strats I learned So I just used that and learned.

[17:01:02] There's like two other strats I learned

[17:01:04] that I would mess up all the time

[17:01:06] And then there was one that was labeled as

[17:01:08] Here is the consistent strat

[17:01:10] There's someone talking about explaining how it works

[17:01:13] and everything that was more in depth.

[17:01:15] That one was extremely good so

[17:01:17] I recommend it 100%.

[17:01:19] Especially since those last two hits

[17:01:21] you had literally dude just walked into it

[17:01:24] and we love it

[17:01:25] when bosses walk into killing themselves

[17:01:28] like let's be very, very real

[17:01:29] Let's be extremely real right now

[17:01:32] There was like one extra

[17:01:34] swag thing I wanted to show where

[17:01:36] could have had Diddy kind of floating in the air

[17:01:38] after getting the last

[17:01:40] hit, but I

[17:01:42] barely hit that boss slightly too late

[17:01:45] but I couldn't do it. It doesn't save time

[17:01:47] or anything, just like a

[17:01:48] neat little visual thing for Swag.

[17:01:52] Sometimes you just need swag

[17:01:53] this is a speed running event

[17:01:55] while we are going fast swag is also acceptable

[17:01:59] always enjoy it always is acceptable we endorse swag it

[17:02:03] is always morally correct to have swag.

[17:02:07] Just saying.

[17:02:10] I hope I made this one going to be close.

[17:02:12] Okay, got it.

[17:02:14] Oh my lord.

[17:02:17] I love that you have like Oh my lord. I wish you had the extra momentum from

[17:02:19] the barrel too, just to be like hey shoot me a little bit further.

[17:02:23] Yup!

[17:02:25] It's very easy to lose time going for that barrel and shooting it if you um

[17:02:29] if you rotate it too slow but um it's another thing that like

[17:02:34] you know it's such a small thing but i've like practiced it a lot so i'll be soon

[17:02:40] but yeah that's definitely the one of the ways to improve at uh something that you're passionate

[17:02:45] about right stuff things that seem very trivial or maybe like kind of boring in the game

[17:02:50] like you gotta practice also i got agree and chat with slayer super show uh with

[17:02:56] the themes and the music somebody else mentioned that OST for this is a banger.

[17:03:00] This is probably the only time

[17:03:02] you will ever get me to say I like

[17:03:04] being underwater because the underwater

[17:03:06] themes are almost always

[17:03:07] bangers, especially in the Donkey Kong series.

[17:03:10] There's also a bonus of the fact that you don't

[17:03:12] drown. That's kind of nice.

[17:03:14] That's super cool.

[17:03:16] You can definitely breathe forever?

[17:03:17] Yeah. Somehow you can breathe forever and we love that.

[17:03:24] It's a video game. I should be allowed to breathe forever in every underwater level but let me not.

[17:03:28] I think one of the later games like Bongo Blast or something um...

[17:03:31] I forgot which game uh but I'm'm pretty sure like DK's in like outer space

[17:03:32] or something.

[17:03:34] It's fine without a spacesuit

[17:03:35] apparently.

[17:03:36] I love that for him.

[17:03:37] I love that for him.

[17:03:40] I thought you were gonna say

[17:03:41] that they actually changed it to where you could drown

[17:03:43] and i was gonna be like that's toxic but that's not toxic that's actually very good i love that

[17:03:48] it has this even deeper like not needing to breathe situation.

[17:03:53] What do you need air for? Air is for chumps, you're fine!

[17:03:57] Everything's fine. Not for chimps but for chumps

[17:04:01] And they are for chunks correct

[17:04:06] can't believe you're trying to set me up a failure

[17:04:07] you think i will talk about sweet child diddy like this

[17:04:12] unbelievable absolutely unbelievable right Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

[17:04:16] Can't believe this.

[17:04:18] Yeah, this level...

[17:04:22] It's pretty easy to die when going for the optimal strats but especially

[17:04:27] if you're new like honestly a lot of the faster strats don't save that much time.

[17:04:32] So you could very easily just kind of coast through the level

[17:04:36] by skipping out on some

[17:04:38] of those rolls that I did to skip longer gaps

[17:04:40] and stuff.

[17:04:41] Generally save like a third

[17:04:44] of a second or something, so it's like not that much.

[17:04:46] Wait, why did that level just... Hold on a second.

[17:04:49] Time out. Time! You gotta

[17:04:51] explain what just happened.

[17:04:53] I don't know 100%

[17:04:54] of the details but

[17:04:56] there actually is a video that was uploaded while we were at SGDQ in the DKC speedrun discord

[17:05:03] That apparently explains why that happens, but I haven't watched it yet.

[17:05:07] But as far as I know...

[17:05:10] The enemy, the Cutlass with the swords

[17:05:13] Oh! I think actually that was the first wrong work I've done in this category

[17:05:17] There will be more coming up later but it's i'm used to

[17:05:20] an any percent because all of world one and roll two you do uh wrong works on like most

[17:05:24] of the levels but um the properties that makes you a wrong warp out of a level like the way

[17:05:30] that you've maybe seen in any percent runs, when that Cutlass raises his swords it has

[17:05:36] the same properties but for whatever reason if you take damage with Dixie

[17:05:40] and shoot out of a barrel

[17:05:41] while he's putting his swords upwards

[17:05:44] then it causes the same

[17:05:46] things as a wrongful

[17:05:48] faffing.

[17:05:50] I gotta look up that video to see what the full

[17:05:52] explanation is, because I'm curious,

[17:05:54] because I have pretty limited

[17:05:57] knowledge on

[17:05:57] how it works.

[17:06:00] That's fair.

[17:06:01] No, that's

[17:06:03] fair and like me being a

[17:06:05] game dev I could probably make some educated

[17:06:07] guesses but that doesn't

[17:06:09] mean that I'm going to be correct so I'm not going to do that but instead what I'm going to be correct,

[17:06:11] so I'm not going

[17:06:11] to do that.

[17:06:12] But instead what

[17:06:12] I want to tell you

[17:06:13] is while we're

[17:06:14] talking about videos

[17:06:15] this is your reminder

[17:06:16] by the way

[17:06:37] and that'll take you to all the playlists so you can get all those runs nice and curated

[17:06:40] you can find all the ryan ford that could handle. Now what in the world is going on

[17:06:44] here?

[17:06:46] What is happening?

[17:06:48] I love it too, this is like unique to

[17:06:50] this category as well so

[17:06:52] one of the things I loved

[17:06:53] about this category having a bunch

[17:06:56] of tricks from all the four major categories

[17:06:58] that we run and then has its own

[17:07:01] unique things. So the first thing I did

[17:07:02] at the start of the level was the super jump, which people might know.

[17:07:07] When you swap Kongs in the water and take damage out of them, then when you regain control the second kong after you uh lose the first one then you um

[17:07:17] the game still thinks that they're underwater so if you hold uh jump

[17:07:21] you'll just like fly up really high kind of like water physics uh water physics while not in water sorry

[17:07:29] and then um the uh when i shot myself to the top of a level so

[17:07:34] i did one of those invisible object setups, which

[17:07:37] when I was mentioning about the

[17:07:39] natural...the normal way that we often

[17:07:41] do runwerps like in Any%

[17:07:43] so normally

[17:07:45] like an Any% run would have done the same setup where I'd throw the invisible object and

[17:07:52] The bonus barrel will just shoot you. Would just wrong work you out of the level and let you proceed to the next stage.

[17:07:59] But for whatever reason

[17:08:01] when you do those setups with invisible objects

[17:08:03] you have to... If you throw it

[17:08:05] to the left, it causes the wrong-warp to happen

[17:08:06] but if you throw it to the right

[17:08:07] the barrel will just shoot you up causes the wrong warp to happen but if you throw it to the right, um...

[17:08:09] The barrel will just shoot you up really

[17:08:11] high.

[17:08:13] And uh, if there's a ceiling above

[17:08:15] you normally if you wait awhile it'll eventually

[17:08:17] wrongwarp you out of the level. But there...

[17:08:19] The level doesn't have a ceiling at the top so it just

[17:08:22] shoots you as high as

[17:08:24] you can possibly go until you hit the top

[17:08:26] of the level. And the DK

[17:08:28] coin is right at the end, at the top of the level so

[17:08:31] so we use that to skip it you know that worked out beautifully because that was perfectly timed

[17:08:36] that entire last level you did nothing exciting happened with that. So there you go because

[17:08:43] you kind of just was like oh I know where bees are and just kind of jump over all those

[17:08:47] nerds and you took a barrel got to the bonus cannon.

[17:08:52] Yeah just cannon and did all that stuff so that was nice and straight forward.

[17:08:56] Oh I remember doing this level as a child

[17:08:58] And being like I don't know what I'm doing because

[17:09:00] I had small child brain at the time so it's fine

[17:09:03] that's fine

[17:09:06] when i was like five years old or something right just

[17:09:09] like i don't understand and it's like it literally is just a pattern. Please

[17:09:13] stop.

[17:09:15] Please stop shooting back

[17:09:17] and forth in the same areas.

[17:09:20] Oh, you clip through those

[17:09:21] vines. Wait a minute.

[17:09:23] You know, Wait a minute. Yup.

[17:09:24] WAIT A MINUTE!

[17:09:27] Compared to going the intended route I think that saves like 15 seconds?

[17:09:32] Yeah, the vine clips... so a trick that I did in World 2...

[17:09:35] Oh and also in the third level of World 1

[17:09:37] in this category

[17:09:39] called Team Throw Super Jump

[17:09:41] or The Big Boy

[17:09:45] If you team throw your kong horizontally into an

[17:09:47] enemy and as they're coming back to

[17:09:49] you if you um

[17:09:51] uh

[17:09:53] jump let go of the jump button then re-press and hold it while you're in there as they're coming back to you.

[17:09:59] Then it'll give you an extra jump while you're in there a really high one as well. So then because of that you can hit the top

[17:10:08] with the brambles which some parts of those brambles don't have

[17:10:12] like a hitbox to damage you with so then

[17:10:15] the start of your team throw animation kind of...

[17:10:19] When they start, it throws the Kong a little above like a ceiling and stuff.

[17:10:26] If you throw it at the very top pixel that's fine too. the ceiling and stuff.

[17:10:28] If you throw it at the very top pixel,

[17:10:29] like at the brambles, then

[17:10:31] it kind of clips them through just a bit

[17:10:34] that you can squeeze through.

[17:10:36] I love that this dude's entire

[17:10:39] fighting tactic is,

[17:10:40] which is misleading

[17:10:43] because considering

[17:10:45] he very obviously doesn't do leg day

[17:10:47] it's surprising he can jump at all but then his weakness is barrels

[17:10:53] right it's impressive because i feel like his weakness should be kneecaps

[17:10:57] but that's just but that's just me

[17:10:59] that's just me i could be way out of pocket i don't know

[17:11:04] yeah he causes um so most of his stomps on the ground

[17:11:09] if you're standing on the ground you get stunned for a bit and shake

[17:11:12] for awhile. That's why I'm always jumping most of the time after you jumps and stops down

[17:11:22] which is funny because he does a baby stomp to make the tnt appear

[17:11:26] and that one for whatever reason doesn't count for you yep yeah i don't know why it gives us the free opening Yep.

[17:11:34] Yeah, I don't know why he gives us the free opening with that...

[17:11:36] But I don't know.

[17:11:38] It's like he's preparing his jump.

[17:11:41] He's doing one of those mini squats like you do in the gym.

[17:11:41] Where, like, you're gonna jump squat and you're not actually squatting

[17:11:44] You're just jumping and lunging down a little bit

[17:11:47] Yeah. I don't go to the gym.

[17:11:49] I don't know what you're talking about

[17:11:53] I used to go to the gym, but not in recent honestly

[17:11:57] Yeah well it be that way sometimes

[17:12:01] I definitely should go again, honestly.

[17:12:05] I mean, I should go again because

[17:12:07] I have the perpetual problem of

[17:12:09] I am aging therefore

[17:12:11] I need to go to the gym

[17:12:13] Oh hey! It's spider boo i love the

[17:12:15] spider the spider i think is my favorite just because

[17:12:17] i have decided that canonically he is wearing yellow jays

[17:12:21] and i won't be taking questions I am not going to be taking comments

[17:12:25] and no there are no forums that are open at this time

[17:12:28] to talk about it. He's wearing yellow Jays

[17:12:31] he's got eight of them too

[17:12:35] yes exactly them too. Yes, exactly.

[17:12:36] Fly kicks.

[17:12:37] The common contest

[17:12:40] is who has the flyer shoes between

[17:12:42] Mr. Squitter

[17:12:44] or sometimes the community calls him Shoes as well

[17:12:46] I love that

[17:12:48] You should call him Shoes

[17:12:50] Or Espresso The Ostrich from DKC1

[17:12:52] He also has some fly shoes

[17:12:54] Now with all of the

[17:12:57] We'll say friends that you have

[17:12:59] They don't always give a DK coin

[17:13:01] Right? Like sometimes they'll give

[17:13:03] Other things. They'll give like 1-up balloons

[17:13:05] Or they'll give like a bunch of bananas which is useless but that's not

[17:13:08] always the case and that's it looks like your meticulously you have it memorized which ones

[17:13:12] get coins and which ones don't yeah so oh shoot i'm trying to think of which outside of…

[17:13:19] Okay the first level in World 3 with Rambi

[17:13:21] I got a DK point from that one

[17:13:23] when it went through the no-Rambi side

[17:13:26] I was trying to think of what other stages

[17:13:29] might have one with other cons

[17:13:31] Since I definitely autopilot through the run

[17:13:33] and I'm like... No that's super fair

[17:13:35] and valid

[17:13:37] Cause sometimes you just gotta- Well unfortunately since we're on an autostroller it's like

[17:13:40] I can kinda think about it now right?

[17:13:42] Yeah. I was gonna say

[17:13:44] when you get into so many speedruns

[17:13:46] and someone made this comment earlier jokingly

[17:13:48] but also very seriously that you do a lot of runs. When you have

[17:13:51] just like that much information in your brain

[17:13:53] sometimes you don't even just think about

[17:13:54] the extra parts of oh I know

[17:13:56] exactly what's going on here and I know exactly

[17:13:58] what's going on there and it's's like, dude, do you understand that

[17:14:01] Ryan Ford...

[17:14:02] Ryan underscore Ford 522

[17:14:05] by the way, you should follow him on Twitch.tv

[17:14:07] slash Ryan underscore

[17:14:09] Ford 522. That's also in the title, but

[17:14:12] Ryan has to his knowledge

[17:14:14] Donkey Kong runs for

[17:14:16] beat Mario which in turn means you

[17:14:18] also have beat Yoshi and beat Link

[17:14:19] which in turn like you also have 80%.

[17:14:22] I've seen you do Donkey Kong Country

[17:14:24] 1. I've seen you do

[17:14:26] just like... What is it? True

[17:14:28] Ending or not true? It's not True Ending

[17:14:30] per se. Oh okay yeah it is a true ending. Cool.

[17:14:33] But yeah, the number of runs that I've seen

[17:14:35] you do for this game alone

[17:14:36] is very substantial. So being able to

[17:14:39] remember every single one of those is like

[17:14:41] uh... no.

[17:14:44] Yeah, there's like... I think I have

[17:14:46] times on nine different

[17:14:48] categories for just this game.

[17:14:50] That doesn't surprise me.

[17:14:52] And I think I named what? Six?

[17:14:56] Because there's three or five yeah i named six so yeah it's it's whatever and then that doesn't even include like all the metro ones that

[17:15:02] you do because you got a couple of those categories in games.

[17:15:05] I know that someone mentioned you're also a smash

[17:15:07] runner, so you've got that stuff going for

[17:15:09] you. I love when her ponytail

[17:15:11] stays up. It's like one of my favorite glitches under

[17:15:13] the sun.

[17:15:16] I'm trying to think what else you've seen.

[17:15:18] We've seen some Zelda from you, we've seen a couple

[17:15:20] of Zelda categories, we also have Little Samson

[17:15:22] Little Samson

[17:15:24] got some love in one of the most recent GDQ events for either UBA or GMC that I don't remember off the top of my head.

[17:15:30] I think the only thing...

[17:15:32] I forgot which one I read it for!

[17:15:34] Yeah, listen, the way you are with runs is how i am with all

[17:15:38] the events i'm like listen there's things that happen

[17:15:41] there's some stuff i just if you run it through and say jog your memory

[17:15:45] i could think of it but if you give me details i'm like oh

[17:15:46] i have no idea dude

[17:15:48] i couldn't start to tell you um used to memorize by heart but uh now that i've run for so many

[17:15:54] events and like a lot of different games like i'll shoot yeah sometimes i forget yeah um i think the only

[17:16:02] thing that we haven't seen on the block events from you is gimmick oh Is that true? Oh my gosh!

[17:16:10] Yes, that is true.

[17:16:11] The only thing I haven't seen from you is gimmick.

[17:16:14] Well, I was going to say, you've submitted some of the

[17:16:15] smaller categories but you told me at one

[17:16:17] point, you would give me the full gimmick rundown

[17:16:20] category where you're going to do every gimmick

[17:16:22] category back-to-back because then it was something like

[17:16:24] two hours or some nonsense.

[17:16:26] It'd probably be, like,

[17:16:28] 40 minutes-ish. I was gonna say it's something where it's, like like 40 minutes. I was going to say, it's something where

[17:16:30] it's like 40 minutes an hour.

[17:16:32] It was something like that.

[17:16:34] Something like that.

[17:16:37] Doing each one back-to-back

[17:16:38] That would be pretty spicy too, because it's definitely hard to be in shape for some categories while trying to be in shape for others at the same time.

[17:16:50] You'll definitely bleed muscle

[17:16:52] memory over, um,

[17:16:53] in the same places. Yeah,

[17:16:56] especially since like, in some cases,

[17:16:57] the difference between a run is literally

[17:17:00] like, hey, 80% of the run is the same and now this

[17:17:03] is where you're gonna fork a different way and now you're on a different run

[17:17:05] and it's like oh did i do that run already okay we're just going to watch

[17:17:08] it again it's fine exactly that will 100 be me he's

[17:17:11] like i you know we're just gonna watch 80% a second time sorry y'all!

[17:17:16] Pretty much it's up to level...

[17:17:18] Yeah I guess up to the Boston level for it so like

[17:17:21] about halfway through the run,

[17:17:23] it's the same in pretty much each category.

[17:17:27] Also, what a chest

[17:17:28] he's got! I love Brian Ford.

[17:17:29] That's so nice of you.

[17:17:31] Brian Ford is very nice,

[17:17:33] very wonderful runner. I got the pleasure

[17:17:35] of meeting him in person

[17:17:36] last week.

[17:17:38] Same with

[17:17:40] Cyber Endemic as well.

[17:17:42] It was chill.

[17:17:44] It was super chill oh oh no

[17:17:50] it's fine it's an early death right this is fine this is fine

[17:17:56] we also have all kinds of lives this is fine. This is fine. We also have all kinds of lives.

[17:17:57] This is fine.

[17:18:00] Oh, my gosh.

[17:18:02] That was a really early death stuff.

[17:18:02] It's not too bad.

[17:18:04] See?

[17:18:07] Now the way that you just fell in that water though terrifies me.

[17:18:08] Also, the cat tails 0 out of 10

[17:18:09] 0 out of 10

[17:18:11] I actually dislike

[17:18:15] them so much that I actually know their name.

[17:18:17] All these other dudes, these are just dragonflies

[17:18:19] and buzzards. But no, I know the

[17:18:21] cattails. I hate them.

[17:18:23] I hate them. Speaking

[17:18:25] of, that's a question I have for you. If you had to pick

[17:18:28] out of the Danky Kangs

[17:18:30] that you play

[17:18:30] who is your most hated enemy

[17:18:33] and why?

[17:18:36] That's a good question.

[17:18:38] I'm trying to think really hard about that actually right now. Well don't

[17:18:42] think too hard about it until you mess up your stuff, think when its on like a loading screen

[17:18:46] or another auto scroller?

[17:18:51] That's such a good question.

[17:18:57] Yeah, I never really thought that hard about it before but there definitely are some enemies that I despise.

[17:19:02] Oh, Donkey Kong Country 3 Buzzards.

[17:19:04] DK-3 Buzzards.

[17:19:06] DK-3 Buzzards.

[17:19:08] Okay, okay.

[17:19:09] Yeah, the big bees, like the red ones particularly that are like...

[17:19:14] But not Big Bees the runner, just to make sure we're clear about that.

[17:19:17] Oh yeah!

[17:19:18] No, no, Big Bees is chill.

[17:19:20] Okay, sensational. Not Big b's with two e's

[17:19:24] okay okay okay i see where we're going that's what we're doing yeah those are pretty ratchet

[17:19:28] this is true this is an accurate assessment

[17:19:31] this game so no enemies can be hated incorrect i

[17:19:35] literally hate the cattails i hate them so much they're annoying

[17:19:41] they touch you jerks they're actually a jerk and they throw you around

[17:19:44] and stuff and then also we got like random chance which direction they threw. On top of that.

[17:19:55] So I'm going for another kind of spicy trick

[17:19:57] if i hopefully get it, using another

[17:20:00] invisible object to corrupt that barrel

[17:20:02] that just shot me

[17:20:04] really far across this area.

[17:20:06] Which skips the whole auto-scroller,

[17:20:08] so I'm going to be trying the same

[17:20:10] thing again.

[17:20:12] Alright, cool.

[17:20:14] Nice. Sensational! So that life loss earlier is fine?

[17:20:18] Yeah it saves... Each one of these I think saves like roughly

[17:20:22] 20 seconds so they're pretty huge to hit.

[17:20:27] I got a PB yesterday when i was running because I didn't fail these this time

[17:20:31] So I kind of had a well quote unquote free time saved by hitting this trick nice nice

[17:20:41] getting them out of there yeah i don't know what the timer is at currently, but...

[17:20:45] I know this might be a small jinx,

[17:20:47] But like, I think I'm around close to TV cases right now.

[17:20:51] Just like I told Limey! Chill out on trying to jinx stuff!

[17:20:55] What are you doing oh my god also somebody was like

[17:21:03] thank you uh slayer super show uh someone came in

[17:21:05] to be like it's actually a cat of nine tails. It's like

[17:21:08] the shorthand is Cat Tails

[17:21:10] but also that's

[17:21:12] the beautiful thing about doing these runs and stuff is that

[17:21:14] sometimes even if you know the name

[17:21:16] once you get the run going those names

[17:21:18] completely irrelevant because they're

[17:21:19] probably gonna get named something

[17:21:21] else entirely yep like we call them

[17:21:24] sonics

[17:21:26] i love that you call them sonics too. Even though it's like

[17:21:29] for all intents and purposes, it doesn't

[17:21:31] quite 100% line

[17:21:33] a line

[17:21:34] Just said they're blue

[17:21:37] and they have the big black have like the big black nose,

[17:21:39] like the big round nose? Like Sonic?

[17:21:43] Yeah. Oh my gosh I'm trying to think what are some of the other ones too

[17:21:47] because I know when I'm doing my Bloodborne

[17:21:52] and Dark Souls runs we just start making up stuff like there's names there's lore yes that's important i guess but listen all you need to

[17:21:59] know is that we need to know hit Daddy Gassy.

[17:22:00] And everyone knows exactly who I'm talking about if I say Daddy Gassy.

[17:22:05] If I played it, I bet I would know.

[17:22:07] Yes.

[17:22:08] Sonic Bluetooth enough.

[17:22:09] Exactly.

[17:22:11] Oh my god.

[17:22:12] Listen!

[17:22:14] It's where you get things and we figure it out.

[17:22:18] Oh my gosh.

[17:22:21] You hate the puffer fish? Yeah yeah pufferfish is annoying too pufferfish

[17:22:29] no not sonic at home! Not this!

[17:22:35] They said you got Sonic at home.

[17:22:37] No I am gonna say what I wanted to say

[17:22:39] That's got the same energy as like

[17:22:41] The original Sonic movie model.

[17:22:45] Oh my gosh!

[17:22:49] That's so good.

[17:22:51] Oh my gosh.

[17:22:53] It was like a frame off on that shot, but I recovered this pretty well so...

[17:22:56] That Rhino- Someone in chat is commenting about how your Rhino speed and precision

[17:23:00] is top notch!

[17:23:03] Watching you on the Rhino I think is probably my favorite bit thus far

[17:23:06] truth be told because there's just a lot going on with that that's super cool

[17:23:11] like the parrot you get the cool vine skips and stuff, but the Rhino with the dash jump

[17:23:16] is quality. Actually quality.

[17:23:24] Not Teemu Sonic.

[17:23:26] Next you're gonna say AliExpress Sonic, if y'all don't stop it...

[17:23:30] Oh my lord!

[17:23:34] Get that bum outta here. Especially considering like it looks like a sonic and bubsy

[17:23:38] like hybrid it's like they couldn't decide who they want to rip off so just

[17:23:42] there you go we're going to take both of them now we have both now what

[17:23:49] is crossing multiverses ugly sonic is great

[17:23:52] ugly zonic has legacy and there's nothing anyone can do about it

[17:23:57] you have to put respect on ugly sonic's name depending on what

[17:24:00] you're talking about that's the asterisk depending on what you're talking about okay so now i have

[17:24:05] a new question for you as you run through this section why did you skip that dk barrel to get

[17:24:11] dixie back why are you choosing to do this solo with diddy oh um up until this point

[17:24:17] okay so uh whenever there's barrels on the ground that uh you take a little

[17:24:21] bit of time to pick them up and then to like throw them or bash them into an enemy but

[17:24:27] because there's that one floating in there then um since you just jump into it then

[17:24:31] uh it saves a bit of time by just touching it compared to picking it up and picking

[17:24:38] one up and throwing it gotcha okay pretty much the only reason

[17:24:44] that's fair that was like that seems very specific

[17:24:47] it seems very very specific ghost Ghost Ropes was up.

[17:24:52] For time save, I forget how much it saved.

[17:24:54] I think it's only like 20 frames or something

[17:24:56] like that. Like a third of a second, roughly?

[17:24:59] Hey,

[17:25:00] all time saves is important here. Well, not not all of it but the overwhelming majority

[17:25:04] of it will say yeah exactly this um game in a lot

[17:25:09] of categories are pretty optimized as well, so.

[17:25:13] If you're going for like top times then

[17:25:15] yeah it's in your best interest

[17:25:16] to try and squeeze out any

[17:25:19] reasonable tricks that save

[17:25:21] a good amount of time

[17:25:23] but first there are some like tricks that save a good amount of time.

[17:25:26] Of course, there's some things that are probably borderline

[17:25:28] not humanly possible that

[17:25:30] might save a chunk that

[17:25:31] we don't go for and things like that. things like there now to the test yes now something interesting about this

[17:25:38] level that always frustrated me when i was younger

[17:25:40] was the fact that you did your earlier auto-scrollers and closed doors

[17:25:45] meant death. Now all of a sudden, you're on an auto-scroller where

[17:25:49] you're expected to go through the closed door

[17:25:51] And it's like oh yeah, it'll just open

[17:25:53] It's like bro, I need some consistency.

[17:25:56] Also for the first time ever I just noticed that

[17:25:58] each of these ghost bandanas

[17:25:59] are different colors. Yep.

[17:26:02] I did not know that.

[17:26:04] Did not know that at all.

[17:26:05] That's to show the difficulty I know that at all. To show the difficulty, I made

[17:26:06] that up, Betchen.

[17:26:09] It's like this was...

[17:26:10] How is there a difficulty when they're

[17:26:12] all the exact same?

[17:26:13] I don't understand.

[17:26:18] Oh, that was terrifying Oh yeah we hit like 0-0

[17:26:21] At the end too so

[17:26:22] I forgot that like

[17:26:24] I'm so used to it but I'm like, yeah this is normal but it actually-

[17:26:27] Oh! I was gonna say no! Why?

[17:26:31] There's a way you can slightly mess up your movement there too where

[17:26:34] you'll get hit just barely before you get through the door.

[17:26:38] You do have to be careful too with uh how you jump from that room

[17:26:43] oh now this is a level two that i forgot about there's a lot of precision and

[17:26:47] time and it goes on here.

[17:26:48] So for those who have never played Donkey Kong Country 2,

[17:26:51] I don't know if you can actually notice it but the leaves

[17:26:54] are blowing on the screen depending on their direction

[17:26:57] as how the wind is actually blowing.

[17:26:59] So if it's blowing against you, you move slower

[17:27:02] and if it's blowing behind you, you move faster

[17:27:05] which sounds dope until you go to do a jump in

[17:27:07] and all of sudden you're going way further than you expected yep

[17:27:12] yeah the wind cycles are uh proximity based so uh with practice it's like you know how

[17:27:18] it's going to blow. Fortunately, if

[17:27:20] it was RNG though my god that'd be a disaster now. Yeah,

[17:27:23] That would be horrendous. So it's

[17:27:26] based on where certain points

[17:27:29] into the level that you reach

[17:27:32] when the wind will blow a certain way.

[17:27:36] So I don't know if this question actually did get explained, and it's much more of a general

[17:27:40] question so I'll go ahead and ask him if he did explain it.

[17:27:42] I do apologize.

[17:27:43] The runner probably explained this earlier,

[17:27:45] but how did he get all those bonus room coins

[17:27:47] for the special world so fast?

[17:27:49] Oh, it was the thing you were talking about before.

[17:27:51] I think it's... Oh God, what did you say it was the thing you were talking about before. I think it's a...

[17:27:53] Oh, God, what did he say it was? Go ahead.

[17:27:56] It's an in-game cheat.

[17:27:58] I was doing some weird movement

[17:27:59] in the first level that spent probably

[17:28:01] about half a minute

[17:28:02] getting to level that spent probably about half a minute getting

[17:28:04] to get this

[17:28:06] one floating creme coin inside

[17:28:07] when you go in the

[17:28:10] indoors part of K. Rool's ship at

[17:28:12] the start of the game, that has that letter telling you how

[17:28:15] he kidnapped donkey kong then um if you do a bunch of like kind

[17:28:19] of seemingly random movements in there then um

[17:28:23] uh in and around that room then you'll

[17:28:25] uh you'll get this one creme coin that

[17:28:28] uh actually is worth 75. and that's enough to be able to do all

[17:28:32] of the lost world levels because they cost 15 each and there's five loss road levels

[17:28:37] but perfect 75 nice so we have a new question in chat for you this is a fun question so if

[17:28:44] you need to focus by all means go ahead and do so but i want to just get

[17:28:47] it out there because it is i do endorse fun questions so chad if you have fun questions

[17:28:51] please ask them because i will do my best to get them integrated in

[17:28:54] so rayleigh says this game takes place

[17:28:57] on Crocodile Isle owned by King

[17:28:59] K. Rool. If you were stuck there for

[17:29:01] 24 hours what would you do?

[17:29:04] Ha!

[17:29:05] Oh shoot I almost died.

[17:29:12] Okay I'm alive I Okay, I'm alive! It's important to know your backups.

[17:29:19] Oh wow that's a good question because um i like that the continuity for this game is... The start of the first level is where you fight K Rool at the end of Donkey Kong Country 1, so it like perfect continuity.

[17:29:30] Oh my god, that's a good question though.

[17:29:32] I would hopefully try to find the horde of bananas that he's keeping

[17:29:33] so I can live comfortably

[17:29:36] at the very least.

[17:29:39] Just decided

[17:29:40] to bypass off and was like, hey I'm not here to actually

[17:29:42] do the

[17:29:42] gaming, I am here for the bananas

[17:29:46] that's it.

[17:29:49] That's what I'm here for.

[17:29:50] Alright, had to be careful there

[17:29:52] because uh... kind of flubbed my movement a little

[17:29:54] but um... better

[17:29:56] to try and survive rather than

[17:29:58] save extra time there.

[17:30:01] And so I was actually gonna... Go ahead! Sorry to interrupt,

[17:30:05] that DK coin only flashes for 11 frames and then it goes to the next item

[17:30:09] So if you miss that shot,

[17:30:11] then you have to redo this whole level

[17:30:13] and it loses like a minute and a half.

[17:30:16] That's disgusting.

[17:30:16] If you're going for PB, your run is probably dead.

[17:30:20] The devs knew what they were doing.

[17:30:22] They put, like,

[17:30:22] the extremely difficult,

[17:30:23] like, cruel level

[17:30:24] and then, like,

[17:30:25] you know,

[17:30:26] tease you with a DK coin

[17:30:27] right at the end too?

[17:30:29] These guys are jerks.

[17:30:31] What a bunch of jerks.

[17:30:33] Oh, I forgot about the ghost condor!

[17:30:35] It feels good, I regret to inform you

[17:30:37] The runner cannot go slower

[17:30:39] because unfortunately we are trying

[17:30:41] to speed run. So,

[17:30:43] we are going to keep going fast

[17:30:44] but I do suggest

[17:30:46] that if you can

[17:30:46] you could probably

[17:30:47] go find the OST

[17:30:48] and be a

[17:30:49] jerk like me

[17:30:51] and just blast

[17:30:53] the game OST's in your car

[17:30:55] like uh like a child uh it's very interesting when i'm in

[17:30:59] the middle of traffic and i'm blasting like the katana zero ost

[17:31:03] but also it smacks like you'll never change my life so i have another question here

[17:31:09] from goomy ghost which animal friend is a favorite aesthetically

[17:31:13] we love squitter and the 8Js,

[17:31:16] but that's not everyone's favorite.

[17:31:19] Listen,

[17:31:20] the 8Js go hard.

[17:31:23] Yeah, I think

[17:31:23] Squitter's a cool

[17:31:24] buddy because uh hey one second

[17:31:32] you're trying to show something cool as well but i failed it a bit

[17:31:36] but that's okay it's okay

[17:31:38] i at least survived that's the uh important part

[17:31:42] oh yeah um yeah i like splitter a lot because

[17:31:45] uh those instant web platforms

[17:31:47] that was doing to clear through web woods earlier.

[17:31:49] That's one of the most notoriously difficult levels casually for people.

[17:31:56] I've seen videos on youtube where

[17:31:58] people are like the worst main stage in donkey kong

[17:32:01] country history and like stuff like that it's

[17:32:03] like always at that level but because of the instant web platforms

[17:32:06] thing that we do it's um

[17:32:08] it's a difficult level but it's like fast i feel like it's fast fun and like

[17:32:12] you know there's like actual like cool mechanics

[17:32:16] to it as well so because of that I like

[17:32:20] Squitter and um...I like Ratly for one

[17:32:22] of the later levels coming up, uh

[17:32:24] Toxic Tower which uh

[17:32:26] hope I can show off the gamer skills

[17:32:28] but... I believe in you.

[17:32:30] I believe in you.

[17:32:33] Yeah, here's hoping.

[17:32:34] Like, I'm usually decently consistent at it but

[17:32:36] you know, right there could be the

[17:32:38] famous last words but we'll see.

[17:32:42] So we have another question if you have

[17:32:47] the space and brain specifically for it,

[17:32:54] from a very well-known individual in chat.

[17:32:56] Happy by three.

[17:32:59] Ryan, any pro tips if I'm a big nerd and want to learn this game?

[17:33:00] Also, heck, Rambi, thanks.

[17:33:03] Thank you. I'm Rambi now

[17:33:06] so perfect timing

[17:33:08] Yeah advice for

[17:33:13] if you want to learn the speedrun of this game

[17:33:15] then yeah we've got

[17:33:16] Donkey Kong Country speedrun

[17:33:19] wiki and the speedrun

[17:33:21] discord as well is like

[17:33:22] very helpful. I see people reply to the help and strategy sections all the time for tons of questions for new runners, veteran runners even.

[17:33:35] Stuff like that.

[17:33:37] Between the wiki and the Discord I 100% recommend both.

[17:33:39] People are very welcoming

[17:33:41] and they

[17:33:43] have a lot of good memes as well.

[17:33:46] Memes are important for a thriving community, this is true

[17:33:49] This is very very true

[17:33:51] Your memes don't have to be dreams

[17:33:53] You can simply join a community that will let you embrace

[17:33:56] them, unless your memes are not funny

[17:33:58] then we can't let those slide

[17:34:00] Sometimes people need

[17:34:02] to know their memes aren't funny

[17:34:03] I'm going to stand on business with that one.

[17:34:07] So now you gotta put them in their place?

[17:34:09] Listen, your meme's

[17:34:11] not funny. I regret to inform you of this.

[17:34:13] Um, so we

[17:34:15] have another question from Itz does ryan like donkey country 3.

[17:34:20] so i know earlier you might not have been here welcome on in if you weren't and if you were

[17:34:24] i apologize but thank you for lurking um It was mentioned that DK3 is what Ryan feels

[17:34:29] is the hardest,

[17:34:30] But the question is do you like it?

[17:34:32] It gets a lot of hate and this individual does enjoy it.

[17:34:36] It's so true.

[17:34:38] I like it a lot personally

[17:34:45] um i do want to try to speed run it i've been saying this for the last like two years at this point that i'm going to learn it i learned a small amount of any percent, but

[17:34:49] I haven't finished learning it yet.

[17:34:53] Eventually! It's in the works.

[17:34:55] I just have so many

[17:34:57] games that I've been running That uh you know

[17:35:00] Kind of spread myself thin

[17:35:02] A lot

[17:35:03] Trying to do it all

[17:35:05] Listen

[17:35:07] Busyness knows no bounds. Also

[17:35:10] we see some love and chat for it looks like

[17:35:12] Ratley saying that they're pretty good with them

[17:35:14] as well. And then we've also

[17:35:16] got a little bit of love for Perry the Parallel

[17:35:18] Bird.

[17:35:23] But I have... for parry the parallel bird but i have um also we got some loving

[17:35:28] he also has a love and chat from just john gaming saying ryan you're doing an amazing job keep it up brother hey thank you thank you hell yeah brother sorry that was me being corny

[17:35:34] i apologize um speaking of bad memes don't take meme advice from me ever i am a very

[17:35:39] very unfunny person please don't ever listen to me i've seen the i've seen the tweets

[17:35:45] what do you mean not you calling out the twitter whoa hold on a second it's the feets are fine

[17:35:53] oh and then in terms of...

[17:35:55] I got to chuckle a little bit

[17:35:57] Oh, I get to chuckle a little bit sometimes

[17:35:59] This is fine

[17:36:01] Also in terms of people asking about how to get started, there

[17:36:04] was a comment made about how there's

[17:36:06] a site called DK Atlas which

[17:36:08] provides full maps of each stage in Donkey Kong

[17:36:10] Country 2 so very important

[17:36:11] Very, very big W on that because if you're very analytical and you need the

[17:36:17] information,

[17:36:18] absolutely look at your maps and get that stuff all kind of played out in

[17:36:21] your head.

[17:36:21] I'm one of those types of learners where i need to see maps so i can know exactly

[17:36:24] what i'm going with stuff yep um yeah god what is it i think

[17:36:28] it's also looking called isn't it i think

[17:36:31] it's dkc speedruns.com i actually forget i just usually click the thing in the Discord to find it.

[17:36:38] So I've actually typed out the website.

[17:36:41] There's a secondary name for it but I'm not allowed to say that on stream.

[17:36:45] Links to the wiki so... word, but I am not allowed to say that on stream. Oh no.

[17:36:47] Links to the wiki.

[17:36:50] Also while we're here if you're enjoying the run and enjoying the commentary

[17:36:52] as well, make sure

[17:36:54] you follow Ryan over at twitch.tv slash ryan underscore forward 522.

[17:36:59] The name is in the title, it's in the pin.

[17:37:01] We're going to say it again before he heads out for the evening.

[17:37:04] Everything's going pretty well thus far, but if you're enjoying this type of stuff

[17:37:08] Ryan does speedruns on his channel all the time

[17:37:10] so you can always catch him practicing

[17:37:11] speedruns, learning new speedruns and just

[17:37:14] doing cool stuff. Make sure you go follow

[17:37:16] that channel please k, Kthanks.

[17:37:18] We do have another question.

[17:37:22] What are your favorite

[17:37:22] songs in all of the DKC games?

[17:37:26] Oh my gosh. I had this list before, and I forgot off the top of my head there.

[17:37:34] For this game it's... oh my gosh.

[17:37:37] I like every song, but uh...

[17:37:41] What's it called? Is it Disco Train?

[17:37:43] The target terror level, the circus-looking levels with the minecarts and the tents and stuff in world 4.

[17:37:52] okay so i'm not sure why i keep failing this wrong warp uh

[17:37:57] this week particularly um sometimes the warp is just not in the cards um i am very familiar with this as a

[17:38:06] soulsborne challenge runner some days it's just it just don't be that way it just don't be that way.

[17:38:12] It just don't be that way.

[17:38:14] Oh! Yeah, it's weird.

[17:38:16] I've had so much consistency with this

[17:38:18] trick and then like...

[17:38:20] I had a long stream yesterday where I was grinding this run for the showcase pretty much, but...

[17:38:28] I failed it more times in runs yesterday than I have in like two years at this point yikes i failed it again so

[17:38:35] yeah i don't know what's uh wrong with me now with that that's okay

[17:38:39] like i said sometimes it just be that way tm. I know I was feeling a bit of

[17:38:44] away when I did my Bloodborne Hit List

[17:38:46] showcase even because

[17:38:48] I had practiced so much for

[17:38:50] and got to the point where we were almost

[17:38:52] doing consistent no-hits across out of the eight bosses probably

[17:38:56] six of them and then when it was time for me to do the showcase i think i know hit two

[17:39:01] and when i didn't get my no hit on daddy gassy i actually was like heartbroken

[17:39:06] i'm gonna let you focus here for a second

[17:39:08] no you're there you go yeah yeah i'm not sure why that uh fails so often for me

[17:39:12] too but and i got it eventually by doing a more technical way to do it, I might just commit to doing the hardest shred more often.

[17:39:23] Makes it easier if you hit the tree.

[17:39:27] Also shout out to Cee used to cool off water for lava and is now freezing

[17:39:31] water got that good like icebreaker gum we love

[17:39:35] to see it i'd love to see it?

[17:39:37] Oh my gosh, I'm stealing that icebreaker

[17:39:39] gum! He's got icebreaker

[17:39:41] gum... or no he's got a what's the chat

[17:39:43] help me out here there is a couple of brand names

[17:39:45] of gum that have like cool ice as a flavor or like winter's breeze

[17:39:50] Or some nonsense like that. It's like that doesn't make any sense

[17:39:54] What is the winters breeze. Explained immediately, but

[17:39:58] there was another question

[17:40:01] I wanted to ask you. Ah yes

[17:40:02] from Pro Beef saying question

[17:40:04] since Breath of the Wild 1 and 2

[17:40:06] do you think Link could place higher in a dkc2 end game standings

[17:40:10] and beat mario i like this question i think this question is swag based on sales right I think it's possible now.

[17:40:34] I don't know, I think Mario is still a more popular franchise though but...

[17:40:36] Well we're not asking about popularity,

[17:40:42] We are asking whether or not Link has it in him to surpass mario period period true yeah because

[17:40:46] huh yeah cause mario does have like low-key a lot of like

[17:40:53] i was gonna say world breaking feet smells like wait that's not true it's what kind

[17:40:57] of like anti-physics feats some like i'm being too like nerdy and analytical about it now

[17:41:04] well if you feel any better chat has us covered because uh the gum i was thinking

[17:41:08] of was winter fresh that's it the seal the winter fresh on deck locked in

[17:41:18] right i've seen those commercials a lot when i was like

[17:41:21] uh pre-teen and like early teens

[17:41:23] that tracks

[17:41:25] he knows how it feels to chew 5 gum

[17:41:29] listen I'm gonna just go ahead

[17:41:32] say something controversial

[17:41:33] 5 gum sucks um I've had it I'm gonna just go ahead and say something controversial 5Gum sucks, like it sucks

[17:41:34] um, I've had it

[17:41:36] huh?

[17:41:39] It's actually garbage

[17:41:40] like, I don't know

[17:41:42] who got the promo and marketing for that but yeah

[17:41:45] and yes corpus as someone already answered in chat this is basically all dk coins

[17:41:51] but the category is called beat mar Mario because of that.

[17:41:56] Yeah, cause he beat him in the podium at the end.

[17:42:00] Assuming I don't forget a DK coin somewhere which could happen.

[17:42:05] Well if I distract you feel free to be like Vanessa shut up.

[17:42:07] No you're fine, you're fine, you're fine.

[17:42:10] So...

[17:42:12] The first visit of this level when I filled that Castle Crush run with...

[17:42:15] If I got that first try,

[17:42:17] I think I would have still been on PB case

[17:42:19] because I failed that game.

[17:42:20] You burnt yourself up!

[17:42:24] You can't be doing that.

[17:42:25] You can't be taunting the gods, they don't need to know

[17:42:27] that you're actually thriving okay? That's not information they need access

[17:42:32] to.

[17:42:35] Yeah I think I um...I think i legit went into the barrel like a single frame too early or something.

[17:42:42] Probably gonna watch back the VOD because it looked fine but I have no idea why it didn't work. So...

[17:42:50] Yeah, gotta iron out that with the-

[17:42:53] You know if you wanna get better,

[17:42:54] Iron out the mistakes and stuff.

[17:42:57] It's always the practice.

[17:42:59] Always with the practice.

[17:43:02] Good ol' invisible wall. We love to see those.

[17:43:06] Yeah, the occasional secrets where there is just like...

[17:43:09] maybe a single banana that's like pointing

[17:43:11] to like in the wall and you're like huh i wonder what's there why is there a banana there

[17:43:15] oh that was a bad thing but she'd be okay i missed the days when i heard like the subtle hints like that

[17:43:24] because again going back to the dark souls roots it's just me constantly

[17:43:27] rolling in the walls being like but is this a wall that I can roll through or

[17:43:31] or

[17:43:34] it's a problem.

[17:43:38] Oh, that was actually nice that you was able

[17:43:40] to skip all those chains

[17:43:41] like rolling rolling rolling down nice

[17:43:51] when you're rolling off of a ledge then

[17:43:53] um... You're automatically moving forward

[17:43:55] during your roll so

[17:43:56] I had to kind of like wiggle in between the gaps

[17:43:59] to like uh not

[17:44:01] hit the wall because if uh

[17:44:02] yeah like if I wasn't holding forward I'd just like go straight into the wall. Yeah, like if I wasn't holding forward

[17:44:04] it would just go straight into the wall and then

[17:44:06] It kind of ruins the roll

[17:44:08] going downwards

[17:44:10] Oh there's snake stuff I was talking about

[17:44:12] Snake bro! And then just

[17:44:15] to make sure, Alice for your question is this a kind

[17:44:17] of glitch that can be stumbled upon accidentally?

[17:44:19] The glitch that you're referencing

[17:44:20] were you talking about the wall bit or

[17:44:22] were you talking about something else that we have passed if it is past i apologize

[17:44:26] for not catching it sooner oh i just realized that water was green yeah toxic tower let's name

[17:44:34] it a level also minto's gun is pretty good Yeah, Toxic Tower. It's name and the level.

[17:44:36] Also Minto's gun is pretty good.

[17:44:38] Mentos is pretty decent.

[17:44:42] Eat fresh?

[17:44:46] No no the mentos is for a good is that for a good no that's orbit sugar-free orbits gum

[17:44:52] that good clean feeling orbit gum sucks too just fyi um i've never heard of it before

[17:44:59] oh god keep it that way it's gross wonder if it's an american

[17:45:02] thing particularly oh it might be this up a little

[17:45:06] um Might be. Mess this up a little. Okay, fight it safe there.

[17:45:08] I'm good.

[17:45:09] Oh, the Castle Crush glitch which can brick

[17:45:12] the cart.

[17:45:14] Oh, yeah, the wrong work that

[17:45:16] I failed the first time when I was talking about how I killed my PB chance by failing it the first time.

[17:45:23] That wrong warp again has to do with what Kai mentioned about the Cutlass's swords when he's pointing them upwards.

[17:45:30] They have like the same properties that cause a wrong warp to happen.

[17:45:35] But by taking damage and dying there then for whatever

[17:45:40] reason when you die from that

[17:45:42] and take a hit, it causes the wrong work to happen.

[17:45:46] I still don't fully know why

[17:45:48] I just know how to do it.

[17:45:54] This is again fair and valid by the way street fighter 6 andre thank you so much for reminding everybody that you should absolutely subscribe

[17:45:59] to this channel and support hotfix.

[17:46:00] You can do that with your Prime subs, you can do it with bits,

[17:46:02] you could do it with gift subs.

[17:46:04] Every time that you do something with those items

[17:46:06] that I just named,

[17:46:07] you are supporting the channel making sure we can continue

[17:46:09] to do fun and cool shows like what you're watching here which is

[17:46:12] again the run back or as i regrettably didn't call it the one block but we're showcasing black speed

[17:46:17] runners to kind of help you scratch that itch before we get ready for UBAF in 2025.

[17:46:21] Give us the love, y'all!

[17:46:24] I did see AstralJ

[17:46:27] who is pretty regular in my chat

[17:46:30] and saw them cheer 200 bits earlier um like a half hour ago very nice thank

[17:46:36] you so much thanks for supporting gdq of course please we want to see more cool stuff like what we're doing here.

[17:46:45] Now you can have more moments where

[17:46:46] you have messy commentary like what

[17:46:48] we did earlier with Mario Kart 8

[17:46:49] and with Monkey Ball or you can have more interesting

[17:46:52] in-depth commentary and pseudo interview opportunities like what we're

[17:46:54] doing right now with Ryan Ford.

[17:46:56] By the way, if you have any... No, seriously!

[17:46:59] This has been great because

[17:47:00] you're fantastic at The Run. You know what you're doing.

[17:47:03] You know what you're talking about with all that

[17:47:04] stuff and you know how to commentate but i think it's been really nice to actually get some funny

[17:47:08] questions about hey let's dig into the brain of ryan ford and donkey kong what are some of

[17:47:12] your favorite things so again if you have any questions we

[17:47:15] are coming into the end of the run we're getting close we're getting

[17:47:19] close so if you have any final fun questions

[17:47:22] throw them out there i'll see what i can grab and get at

[17:47:24] get answered and then i'll just we'll just take it from there

[17:47:27] There's this level

[17:47:29] And then the final boss

[17:47:31] So, there's not much left for the run

[17:47:33] Let's see if there are any other ones Oh Mhm. Mhm.

[17:47:39] Let's see if there are any other ones... Oh, we're still talking about like Mentos the Freshmaker! That's

[17:47:41] what it was! Mentos the Freshmaker!

[17:47:43] Thank you, that was it. Also, Richard

[17:47:45] you out of pocket for that comment!

[17:47:49] No!

[17:47:50] Because Richard said

[17:47:51] Subway Mentos, same difference.

[17:47:54] Wow!

[17:47:56] Wow! Yikes! Oh, you're in close.

[17:47:57] Also can we get some love and chat BT dubs?

[17:48:02] BT dubs for tech homies?

[17:48:04] Can we get a love and chat for tech homies and tech crew who keep this joint running, keep things well

[17:48:09] oiled, situated. Help us with our tech

[17:48:11] issues. Help us with our internet issues, the whole

[17:48:13] nine. They're the reason that we're live

[17:48:15] right now getting to things and stuff

[17:48:17] like getting that entertainment that you're enjoying on your thursday

[17:48:21] night getting ready for your weekend and getting ready for that extra long day friday because

[17:48:25] you know friday the last day so he's just gonna be tired and ready for the day to end. The disrespect of Mentos!

[17:48:34] 5Gum had the extreme marketing

[17:48:36] to appeal to teenage boys

[17:48:38] You know what, that makes sense, Metroid. That makes

[17:48:41] so much sense. It seems

[17:48:43] like intense and sporty and stuff.

[17:48:45] Mm-hmm. Same energy

[17:48:47] as Axe Body Spray.

[17:48:49] Thank God I didn't get grabbed by one of those sonics oh my gosh i was a little on edge

[17:48:54] about it no it's it's i seen them i forgot that they were in this level and this level

[17:48:58] they're particularly dangerous because they can literally just throw you into the lava.

[17:49:03] It's dreadful.

[17:49:05] When

[17:49:05] you get grabbed, they sometimes just happen

[17:49:08] to slide enough to fall off in the lava

[17:49:10] with you.

[17:49:13] No to fall off in the lava with me whoa

[17:49:17] no actually so like aggravating that happens that's actually toxic wow

[17:49:20] wow i don't think i've ever had that

[17:49:22] happen i'm grateful for that.

[17:49:23] But if I saw that happen, I would probably throw up a little inside.

[17:49:28] If I messed up any of the strats right before getting to this bonus

[17:49:31] I might have had to rely on hoping that they would throw me into

[17:49:34] one of the barrels to get to that bonus and um there's a chance that could have

[17:49:38] happened where they might just like drag me off like with them like i've had it

[17:49:42] happen like more times than i care to admit so no it's it be that way sometimes again

[17:49:46] that speed running life in a nutshell also somebody asked what are the weekend plans everyone

[17:49:50] i'm gonna keep it a stack with you hermyish um here in den, it's 100 all weekend. I

[17:49:56] am staying inside in

[17:49:58] my air conditioned holes

[17:49:59] and I'm not going anywhere!

[17:50:02] It's so hot!

[17:50:03] It is so hot! It's so ridiculous! I can't

[17:50:07] even do, like, a daily walk

[17:50:08] right now. I'm in shorts and a tank top.

[17:50:11] I do a lap around my apartment complex, and I'm like,

[17:50:13] bro, I'm sweaty. What is

[17:50:14] happening? What is going on all right over here in Toronto it's uh so humid even

[17:50:21] though like the temperature is like not that high I feel that about like getting sweaty,

[17:50:27] like just going for a walk

[17:50:28] and stuff.

[17:50:29] Oh my gosh.

[17:50:29] Right?

[17:50:29] Like I think about outside

[17:50:31] and I'm sweating

[17:50:32] like this is disgusting.

[17:50:34] Right?

[17:50:35] Absolutely foul.

[17:50:38] And yeah, this boss...

[17:50:39] I guess I get to do the easier version in this category since

[17:50:43] I happen to be leading with Dixie

[17:50:45] for this fight so

[17:50:46] you kind of hover over a lot of stuff.

[17:50:49] Compared to if you're running true ending

[17:50:51] then you're probably going to be Diddy during

[17:50:53] the fight, so it's like a little tighter

[17:50:55] I guess. Is that because

[17:50:57] you would only have Diddy available?

[17:50:59] Yeah, cause you had wrong warp in that pre- oh time by the way.

[17:51:02] Oh fantastic! It's time!

[17:51:05] Sensational!

[17:51:07] I was just rambling for so long that I forgot.

[17:51:09] No it's fine, it's fine. I was just rambling for so long that I forgot.

[17:51:09] No, it's fine! It's fine!

[17:51:12] I feel like I completely missed most of this fight too because I know this fight and I was like wait,

[17:51:15] Was that the last one? Oh, that's the last one!

[17:51:17] Yeah we were really out here just vibing

[17:51:22] yeah because in this category uh with cabriel one you just get a creme coin

[17:51:27] which because i use the cheat i don't need it from them

[17:51:30] so then um uh we don't fight uh k rule

[17:51:33] uh one at all and just go to a cable two right away because he has the last

[17:51:37] dk point that you need yeah the fights is

[17:51:41] one really long cycle that's like a minute and fifteen seconds? Something like that.

[17:51:46] If you miss the throw on that cycle, you have to do the whole cycle again so it's also like a run killer if you

[17:51:53] flub the throw at the end.

[17:51:56] Gross.

[17:51:57] I threw it really late on purpose

[17:51:59] just to make sure I didn't lose.

[17:52:04] I've done that in a couple marathons where i like missed the throw and had to

[17:52:06] do the cycle again or i'm like oh time's coming up in like five seconds so then

[17:52:10] jk lose a minute.

[17:52:17] Alright, so how close were you to PB?

[17:52:19] Right now on the timer it says 1 hour, 1 minute and 13 seconds.

[17:52:22] Um...

[17:52:23] Behind by... Wow.

[17:52:25] So my PB that I just got is

[17:52:29] 1 hour and 18 seconds

[17:52:33] Prior to that, because I just PB'd yesterday. Prior to that my PB was 1 hour, 1 minute and 17 seconds so...

[17:52:42] Oh! So it's the second place PB. It's diet PB.

[17:52:46] My second fastest time ever for this category.

[17:52:49] Fantastic, and that was even with a couple of flubs here and there,

[17:52:51] so I think that's great.

[17:52:52] I think that was wonderful.

[17:52:54] I'm going to see if we have time for one... Yeah, three deaths or four deaths.

[17:52:57] Yeah, I'm gonna see this like one more question in here and

[17:53:01] I have to choose between two because they're both kind of ridiculous. Okay,

[17:53:05] I'm going to put it like this. Do you want to talk about food or sleep

[17:53:10] oh my gosh both of them both sound great so you gotta pick one uh all right food since

[17:53:15] i'm gonna be awake for a bit all right fantastic so shinkari

[17:53:19] asks if you have two lasagnas and you stack one lasagna on top of another lasagne do

[17:53:23] you have one tall lasagna or two lasagnes oh my gosh I feel like both sound right but then again I guess the bottom of a lasagna is

[17:53:35] like different from the rest of the layers so I guess it is like

[17:53:39] I would still call

[17:53:40] it two lasagnas

[17:53:41] you still think

[17:53:41] it's two lasagnas

[17:53:42] I mean what if

[17:53:43] they have perfect

[17:53:43] layers though

[17:53:44] like they have

[17:53:44] a perfect layer

[17:53:45] of like noodle

[17:53:47] cheese sauce

[17:53:49] meats noodle cheese sauce meats. Noodle

[17:53:50] cheese sauce meats

[17:53:52] It doesn't change

[17:53:56] So then at that point it's one tall lasagna

[17:53:58] If your lasagna is consistent, it's one tall lasagna. So if your lasagna is consistent, it's one tall lasagna.

[17:54:01] If it's inconsistent, it's two lasagnas.

[17:54:04] See, Tag and I

[17:54:05] are on the same page. We're on the same page.

[17:54:08] And DJ Dota, I saw

[17:54:09] your question. Do you want me to... You know what? I'm going to ask it.

[17:54:12] We have a little bit of time and then we're going to get out of here.

[17:54:15] So

[17:54:16] DJ Dota says, does

[17:54:18] Ryan pretend that he is Diddy Kong in his mind

[17:54:20] as the last thing before sleep, in order to get into a

[17:54:22] happy state and prepare to drift

[17:54:24] off. Imagine he is flawlessly defeating

[17:54:26] baddies and racing through the world seamlessly.

[17:54:30] It's an ask it.

[17:54:32] I saw that, the ask ask it like there was a demand

[17:54:34] I was getting threatened

[17:54:36] Definitely not since

[17:54:38] Since i speedrun so many games

[17:54:40] That...I can't be method acting for all of them at once.

[17:54:44] That's too hard.

[17:54:45] It'd be like 14 whole characters,

[17:54:47] at least.

[17:54:49] Yeah.

[17:54:50] Yeah, that's a lot.

[17:54:52] So it sounds like you just go to bed as Ryan Ford

[17:54:54] Yep, the Mario 64 speedrunners

[17:54:57] probably

[17:54:57] think that for Mario

[17:55:00] Well

[17:55:01] well

[17:55:01] That being said do you have any closing remarks, comments or shout outs that you want to make?

[17:55:10] Yeah. Um...

[17:55:12] Oh shoot what was I gonna say?

[17:55:13] Yeah! First off, I hope y'all enjoyed and uh...

[17:55:16] yeah thanks PT for um...

[17:55:19] yeah for holding it down so

[17:55:21] yeah I was able to kinda like autopilot that run which was pretty nice

[17:55:25] So good. Good relaxing run run, which was pretty nice.

[17:55:26] It's a good relaxing run.

[17:55:29] Which I like that a lot about

[17:55:30] DKC2 particularly is that

[17:55:32] I feel like there's not

[17:55:34] a lot of parts that are hardcore focused.

[17:55:38] Now, now that I've improved a lot at it but also because the game doesn't have that much RNG in it as a whole which is why I it's a really good speed game to pick up as well.

[17:55:49] But with

[17:55:50] that, yeah if you want to shoot me a follow

[17:55:52] on that Ryan underscore Ford

[17:55:54] 522 on

[17:59:50] Tetris but I will talk you through it as we get to it i'm gonna uh start

[17:59:54] this run in five four three two one go so uh touches the Grandmaster is a Japanese arcade version of Tetris. It came out in the 90s. For many years it was somewhat inaccessible because it was only in arc the arcade there wasn't any home version of it

[18:00:15] uh just within the last couple years though the first two games in the series have been

[18:00:19] released on playstation 4 and nintendo switch so this is absolutely the best time in...

[18:00:27] pretty much since the game came out to get into the games.

[18:00:30] This version of Tetris is really cool! You can see it's pretty fast

[18:00:34] The pieces move really quickly.

[18:00:37] One thing that you may notice... It's not super apparent in the

[18:00:41] early parts of the game where the gravity is pretty low

[18:00:45] but when you rotate the pieces they kind of maintain their

[18:00:48] bottom so it's like they're rolling across a floor if you can imagine, the piece that is

[18:00:52] being contained in a box or rolling across the floor of that box.

[18:00:57] This means at higher speeds, the pieces are going to

[18:01:01] maneuver over terrain relatively easily

[18:01:05] and as we get into higher speeds, that will be

[18:01:08] more relevant. In this early part of the game, because

[18:01:12] this first game doesn't have any hard drops you need to actually

[18:01:16] push the pieces down all the way and as a result

[18:01:20] of that, uh, you are wasting time every moment that you're spent just holding

[18:01:26] down to push these pieces down. so i try to build the well

[18:01:29] fairly high uh so that the pieces don't need to travel as far down

[18:01:35] uh that was a little higher than i would like to be on a no-reset run.

[18:01:40] Usually, if I'm trying to just get it run done

[18:01:43] I'd like to be about half screen height for the most part

[18:01:47] But for a PB attempt

[18:01:48] If you watch really high level gameplay of Tetris

[18:01:52] You will see them just up at the absolute top of the screen

[18:01:56] And you'll hear the beeps and warnings all the time

[18:01:59] It's kind of funny um but yeah so

[18:02:04] a little high again okay let's just take that touchless oh two line pieces in

[18:02:08] a row this game is being so nice to me right now. I must know that I'm at SGDQ.

[18:02:14] So another thing is that every

[18:02:16] line clear you can see there's an animation

[18:02:18] that plays. It's relatively long

[18:02:20] it's like 2 thirds to a second or so.

[18:02:23] And I kind of think that is the unskippable cutscene in this game

[18:02:27] every time you get a line clear and so

[18:02:30] You want to try and make sure that you're clearing as many Tetrises or Triples

[18:02:35] as you can, just to like make sure uh that you're not spending as much time

[18:02:39] watching that line clear animation. Just because uh...you know the time that it takes for

[18:02:46] the line clear to play doesn't change depending on how many lines

[18:02:50] that you clear but you clear more lines i also explain the level system so you can see

[18:02:54] that we're on level 209 right now there at the bottom

[18:02:56] 210, 211.

[18:02:58] So you get a level every single time

[18:03:01] you clear a line and also every time

[18:03:02] you place a piece the overall goal of

[18:03:05] the game is to get to level nine nine nine uh there's a few other

[18:03:10] mechanics there but they're not really worth getting into unless you're playing

[18:03:13] yourself uh the point is uh you want to get into unless you're playing yourself.

[18:03:18] The point is, once you get to level 999 within a certain time

[18:03:20] threshold, the overall time threshold

[18:03:22] is 13 minutes 30 seconds.

[18:03:25] Along the way to that point there are a few like checkpoints basically

[18:03:28] where it checks to see if you've gotten so and so far in the game within a certain

[18:03:33] amount of time, so the very first one that's gonna be coming up is level 300 which we're going to

[18:03:38] need to reach in under i believe it's four minutes 15 seconds or something like that

[18:03:44] uh but you can see that we're like pretty on base to get. That first checkpoint is kind of not super relevant for getting a Grand Master Grade, which is the overall goal of the game.

[18:03:57] There are also grade checkpoints, so you can see at that top left corner I have an S1 right now

[18:04:02] The S1 is the first grade that's like... Well it went from 9 to 1

[18:04:09] and now it's at S1. It's going to go off-cast 9.

[18:04:11] Let me just put it that way.

[18:04:15] And so once you get S9

[18:04:17] the next grade won't come until you actually finish the game.

[18:04:20] And if you've met all the time requirements, then you'll get the Grandmaster Grade.

[18:04:25] Which hopefully I can show off to everybody here today.

[18:04:29] So far so good

[18:04:30] can we get a quick donation in for you?

[18:04:33] By all means.

[18:04:34] Wonderful, we have $9 from

[18:04:36] Metroidfan182 that says

[18:04:38] the thing you need to know about TGM players is that none of us

[18:04:41] can read. Which is why Charlotte makes

[18:04:43] us attend Tetris Book Club every

[18:04:45] Thursday. It's been real helpful.

[18:04:47] Thank you so much MetroidFan!

[18:04:50] Thank you MetroidF, Metroid fan.

[18:04:51] Thank you, Metroid Fan. Shout out to the Tetris book club we read Tetris literature find Tetris literature from all of the best Tetris literature repositories online.

[18:05:01] We study them very closely.

[18:05:03] But yeah, so we've passed level 300.

[18:05:06] The next gate that we're going to be trying to pass is at

[18:05:10] level 500. We're going to need an A grade of S4.

[18:05:14] And we're going to do that in under seven minutes

[18:05:17] and I think it's 30 seconds.

[18:05:20] That one is a little bit trickier.

[18:05:22] You can definitely fail that on an otherwise decent run, but right now I'm on a fairly

[18:05:28] decent pace.

[18:05:29] I'm at S3 going into level 400 so generally that's about the pace you want to see.

[18:05:33] I'm going to have to just kind of cover that hole right now,

[18:05:35] I don't have a great immediate solve.

[18:05:37] One thing that is nice about the way

[18:05:39] that the pieces work in this game

[18:05:42] is if you cover your well

[18:05:45] and then just kind of get that garbage to the bottom, as long as it's not too much

[18:05:49] garbage, you can kinda ignore it for a while. Because the amount of time that it would take

[18:05:53] clear those lines, just going out

[18:05:56] of your way to clear lines and not

[18:05:58] stacking would

[18:06:00] sort of cost you a lot of time.

[18:06:03] I'm so

[18:06:04] sorry. I'm gonna break in really quickly because we have a $5,000 donation from Fangamer.

[18:06:12] Thank you, Fangamer.

[18:06:13] It says, hey everybody, Fangamer here.

[18:06:15] Thank you to everyone shopping

[18:06:17] the Fangamer SGDQ 2024 collection

[18:06:20] where 100% of the profits from sales go

[18:06:23] to GDQ merch directly supports MSF's humanitarian mission.

[18:06:27] Your purchases makes these donations possible!

[18:06:30] We'll be taking orders through the end of the event,

[18:06:32] check out the full lineup at fangamer.com slash gdq

[18:06:36] Thank you so much, Fandemer!

[18:06:43] Okay, the line of views came- Oh no!

[18:06:45] Uh, alright, so

[18:06:46] bit of a situation right now.

[18:06:49] But we have made the grade requirement

[18:06:53] for level 500 as well as

[18:06:57] time requirements. So we are still on gm pay so this is a bit of a rough situation

[18:07:02] uh if you have more donations right now i'm gonna try and focus up oh we have so many donations

[18:07:06] coming in lots of love from tetris lovers in the Tetris community alike.

[18:07:10] We have $50 from Anonymous that says,

[18:07:13] let's go TGM.

[18:07:16] We've got...

[18:07:17] Oh, I'm so sorry.

[18:07:18] No, no, it's fine.

[18:07:21] Um... Oh, I'm so sorry. No, that's fine. Yeah go ahead.

[18:07:27] I don't really have time to do another

[18:07:29] full run given

[18:07:32] the estimate.

[18:07:36] I'm just going to start at 20G mode, which is

[18:07:38] going to be the same speed as if

[18:07:40] I had made it all the way to

[18:07:42] level 500 so that I can kind of talk about the 20G

[18:07:44] mechanics and show that off at least.

[18:07:46] Awesome you've totally got this!

[18:07:50] Alright So uh, 20g Alright, so 20G if you make it to the whole game is a bit embarrassing.

[18:08:00] But the rules kind of fundamentally change.

[18:08:04] 20G is referring to 20 times standard gravity, basically

[18:08:08] and so 1g would be when pieces are falling one row per frame

[18:08:12] And so 20 G is 20 row per frame, and so 20g is

[18:08:14] twenty rows per frame. And for the eagle eye you'll count that there are

[18:08:18] twenty rows on the board. So the pieces basically just spawn at the bottom

[18:08:22] There's a few things that are

[18:08:25] different about this. The main thing obviously is

[18:08:27] that you're not going to be able to

[18:08:29] maneuver the pieces willy-nilly

[18:08:31] wherever you want super easily

[18:08:33] and the big result of that is that you need to be more concerned about

[18:08:39] the physicality of the pieces so because the pieces don't go up, they only

[18:08:46] go down in TGM.

[18:08:50] You need to make sure

[18:08:52] that you have a stack

[18:08:54] that's kind of pyramid-shaped so you want the middle to be the highest

[18:08:58] point. That way, you can sort of slide the pieces down either to the left or to

[18:09:02] the right and be able to get it to wherever it needs to go.

[18:09:10] Do you have time for a quick donation?

[18:09:12] Please do.

[18:09:13] We have $20 from Manager that says,

[18:09:15] this is Manny from the Dread community.

[18:09:18] You've got this Charlotte line him up Grandmaster style

[18:09:20] you're doing it so fabulously

[18:09:23] we also have $25

[18:09:25] from Lurker Spine that says

[18:09:26] it's always amazing to watch top-level Tetris.

[18:09:29] Good luck, Grandmaster!

[18:09:32] Thank you so much

[18:09:32] for those donations.

[18:09:37] Shoutouts to the Metroid Dread community. That's sort of

[18:09:40] the place where I started Tetris Book Club. They've been really supportive

[18:09:44] and weirdly for this unrelated game there is a very

[18:09:48] strong Tetris community there. So you know

[18:09:50] if you want a strong Tetris community

[18:09:52] maybe think about Mephid Dread

[18:09:53] Time for a few more?

[18:10:01] Yeah please do. Wonderful! Well real quick I wanted to give you an update on that 4 player Lunar Red Darkhouse incentive

[18:10:05] We're already up to $3,976 of the 15,000 needed

[18:10:09] That's 26% of

[18:10:12] the way there for that extra part a rabbit in steel and we definitely want

[18:10:16] to see that but in the meantime we have ten dollars from mr. Aardvark

[18:10:20] that says my wife and I love GDQ

[18:10:22] and we're hyped for Tetris.

[18:10:24] Stay safe and beautiful

[18:10:26] and speedy.

[18:10:28] We also have $250

[18:10:29] from Laptop765.

[18:10:48] No comment but thank you so much for your generous donation! We've got $10 from Poetics that says, I cannot believe the amount of skill required to speedrun Tetris

[18:10:52] while giving such deep commentary keep it up charlotte this

[18:10:56] commentary is fantastic thank you for explaining all of it oh yeah of course thank you i appreciate

[18:11:03] that a lot.

[18:11:06] So some other mechanics that are interesting about Tetris the Grandmaster specifically

[18:11:12] There's this system called IRS where effectively you can initially rotate the piece.

[18:11:19] There is an IRS for initial rotating systems, so if you just hold the rotate button as

[18:11:23] the piece spawns in it it'll already be rotated.

[18:11:26] Which sounds a little bit useless until you think about

[18:11:29] The fact that the physicality of the pieces matters so much at 20G

[18:11:32] So sometimes, you know, the pieces default spawn location because

[18:11:35] In this game the pieces spawn like

[18:11:37] pointy side down. The default spawn

[18:11:39] location would kind of get stuck on the terrain

[18:11:41] in a way that wouldn't allow you to maneuver

[18:11:43] the piece in a way that you would want to

[18:11:44] but if you have the piece rotated

[18:11:47] already on the first frame then you'll be able to get it into places

[18:11:50] that otherwise will be impossible and it's little things like that i think

[18:11:53] make this version of characters really special just like

[18:11:56] everything was really crafted around the

[18:11:58] idea of like going fast and like you know really being careful about how

[18:12:01] you stack clean and fast Perfect.

[18:12:17] Alrighty, so I'm perfect all righty uh so um you know i'm a little sorry that i couldn't finish out

[18:12:24] a full run but hopefully this has been an enjoyable showcase of tetris the Grandmaster.

[18:12:32] These high speeds are really,

[18:12:34] really cool and like I said at the top

[18:12:36] this version of Tetris used to be

[18:12:38] inaccessible but now it's available on PS4 and Switch.

[18:12:42] So never been a better time. There are so many healthy, great Tetris communities online

[18:12:49] And it is a really fun version of Tetris so i think that everybody should definitely give it

[18:12:53] a shot if you're interested at all in playing tetris fast or even just playing like an interesting

[18:12:58] version of tetris the second game in series has a of cool modes, it has like a two-player mode

[18:13:04] and like a mode where pieces spawn in weird ways or you get

[18:13:09] weird items throughout the game so it's a really cool series, I highly recommend it to anybody.

[18:13:19] And I would like to give a shout out again to the Tetris Book Club, the Metroid Dread community.

[18:13:26] My friends in Michigan and Arizona

[18:13:30] And everybody who has supported me

[18:13:33] on my Tetris journey,

[18:13:35] as it will.

[18:13:36] I was very,

[18:13:38] very bad at Tetris

[18:13:39] three years ago

[18:13:40] and now

[18:13:41] I have a GM grade

[18:13:43] so shout outs to my wife, shout out to my girlfriend, shout out to

[18:13:47] all of my friends. It's been very helpful.

[18:14:02] Wonderful, thank you so much. Anything else you want to say? Are we all good to go? I think we're all good

[18:14:04] to go. Well, thank you charlotte for that fantastic showcase

[18:14:08] i know i learned a lot and i'm pretty sure our chat and audience learned a whole lot

[18:14:12] about tetris too thank you so Audience chat, can we get one more

[18:14:17] hi for Charlotte please?

[18:14:25] Alright, thanks so much All right.

[18:14:28] Thank you so much. Hello, everyone! Welcome to Rabbit

[18:14:32] and Steel. I'm Akko also known as a Chocolate Orange.

[18:14:36] I am this pink bunny over here. I am frozen black wonder, you can call me Kort

[18:14:38] and I'm the green bunny up here!

[18:14:40] I'm Spirialis, I'm the yellow bunny down here

[18:14:42] And I'm Coral Reef

[18:14:44] I'm the cyan bunny over here

[18:14:46] But we know that's a little hard to follow, so

[18:14:49] we brought a little visual aid

[18:14:51] for y'all.

[18:14:55] Thank you very much!

[18:14:57] And before we get started real quick, Lana could you tell us what won the Trinket bid war?

[18:15:01] Yeah absolutely. Let's check in on that trinkets so we had Bunny in the lead just barely

[18:15:07] Just barely

[18:15:09] By three dollars thanks to everyone who supported that

[18:15:12] that's one of my two favorites the other being the frog just because of how well

[18:15:15] it matches with quartz palette anyway with that said we'll be starting in three, two,

[18:15:21] one, go!

[18:15:24] Steal yourself.

[18:15:25] Alright, so Rabbit and Steel is a

[18:15:27] co-op raiding roguelike.

[18:15:29] It is essentially inspired by Final Fantasy XIV in terms of mechanics, and inspired

[18:15:35] by Touhou in terms of the sort-of core gameplay.

[18:15:39] You'll see that I have this little circle at the center of me,

[18:15:41] that's my hitbox.

[18:15:42] And I'm moving around in this 2D plane and dodging all

[18:15:44] these bullets and attacks.

[18:15:46] We each have four abilities that we're using to defeat

[18:15:50] these bosses,

[18:15:52] or enemies generally.

[18:15:54] The primary and secondary which are your usual rotation

[18:15:57] and then a special and defensive

[18:15:59] which makes you invulnerable for a short amount of time

[18:16:01] We also have these items to augment those, so let

[18:16:04] me see what I want here... You want Grandma's sphere right? Or oh no no no! No I don't think it's not.

[18:16:10] Uh i'll take this. So yeah, random pool of items come out

[18:16:14] of the treasure sphere there and we all get one?

[18:16:16] That is the roguelike element alongside shops

[18:16:18] which you will see later. Right now

[18:16:20] we're just in Kingdom Outskirts so

[18:16:22] we have some random encounters that involve enemies

[18:16:27] from the various areas with somewhat subdued mechanics.

[18:16:31] But now you can read a quick donation, Lana?

[18:16:34] Yeah, absolutely! read a quick donation lotto yeah absolutely so we have fifty dollars

[18:16:38] from space explorer unit who says rabbit and steel is a phenomenal game

[18:16:43] we have to see lunar mode y'all i haven't even beaten the game on hard yet

[18:16:47] shout outs to percy who got me into the game thanks bestie less than three just want to

[18:16:52] shut up that we are at seven thousand one hundred and eighteen dollars towards our $15,000 incentive.

[18:16:58] Almost halfway there folks

[18:16:59] so let's keep those donations rolling in

[18:17:01] and we can see this Lunar Red Dark House

[18:17:04] incentive get met all right?

[18:17:05] Yeah y'all absolutely do want to see that.

[18:17:08] That is the hardest difficulty in the game.

[18:17:10] We only have three HP in that mode

[18:17:13] and the mechanics are very punishing

[18:17:15] so you'll wanna see that.

[18:17:17] Absolutely. We can take this time to now

[18:17:19] talk about our characters and why we've chosen these four

[18:17:25] we're going into Kings Arsenal Arsenal. So, real quick

[18:17:29] I am the Bruiser. I'm typically

[18:17:31] trying to get primary items and use this ability

[18:17:33] called Berserk that lets me attack

[18:17:35] really quickly

[18:17:37] I'm playing the yellow dancer bunny.

[18:17:40] This bunny is kind of the support class

[18:17:42] of the game. The main thing about my

[18:17:45] class is that when i use my defensive it

[18:17:48] gives the whole team a 20%

[18:17:50] damage buff for 5 seconds.

[18:17:52] So it just increases

[18:17:54] the whole teams damage up by quite a bit

[18:17:58] My bunny is Spell Sword Bunny.

[18:18:02] So the main gimmick is that I have a resource that I can generate with my secondary

[18:18:05] That makes all of my abilities hit twice

[18:18:07] And what I'm looking for is mostly either a rapid fire build or more of a kind of like

[18:18:12] nuke that happens every 10 seconds.

[18:18:15] Wind did

[18:18:16] not let me dash, my bad!

[18:18:18] Hey!

[18:18:19] Whoa!

[18:18:24] Yeah so as you can see your teammates are just as much the obstacles As they are your allies when it comes to...

[18:18:28] My defensive lets me dash but Winn screws it up!

[18:18:31] You could still dash. My defensive lets me dash, but Wind screws it up!

[18:18:32] You can still dash.

[18:18:36] But yeah I'm playing the Ancient Bunny

[18:18:38] I am very much the most cooldown focused character

[18:18:41] of the four here and I would say any of the four here, and I would say

[18:18:44] of any of the characters in the game.

[18:18:46] Ancient is all about

[18:18:48] juggling between different cooldowns to

[18:18:50] reset or decrease other cooldowns.

[18:18:53] And yeah as you can see I have

[18:18:54] this augment on my

[18:18:56] defensive now that's the fourth ability

[18:18:58] you can see next to my bunny

[18:19:00] which allows me to press it every four

[18:19:02] seconds and give me a charge on my secondary.

[18:19:04] So that's one of our other main tools

[18:19:07] when it comes to increasing our damage,

[18:19:09] is in the shop you get these gems

[18:19:12] that change how each of your abilities work.

[18:19:15] Alright, here's Tasha! Yes, Tasha is everyone's

[18:19:18] favorite character. Say hi, Tasha!

[18:19:21] Hi, Tasha... Thank you!

[18:19:24] She does a bunch of cleaves, and she puts one on almost every one of her sometimes.

[18:19:28] You'll see in this next attack there are going to be four of her,

[18:19:31] And there's a lot to read on the screen.

[18:19:33] This is even harder on Lunar by the way,

[18:19:35] There's like four cleaves,

[18:19:37] three circles. It's really hard to read.

[18:19:39] It's a lot. But it's

[18:19:41] also a lot of fun and Tasha

[18:19:43] really enjoys... I believe it's up here, right? Yep.

[18:19:45] Okay, nice. That was a hard one.

[18:19:47] That was small space.

[18:19:49] Yeah, as we're finishing up Tasha

[18:19:50] it's probably good time

[18:19:51] for another quick donation or two.

[18:19:52] Yeah, we actually have

[18:19:53] some love for Tasha here.

[18:19:54] We have $500 from Tom

[18:19:56] who says

[18:19:57] Tasha uses simple attack i do want to shout out as well that we are

[18:20:01] at 8 348 towards that 15 000 incentive already putting us at 55% that is incredible work folks we also have

[18:20:13] $50 from Amarlyn who says go court Akko's Spirialis and Coral.

[18:20:19] Y'all got this bunny!

[18:20:21] Bunny!

[18:20:22] Thank you so much.

[18:20:24] That was crazy.

[18:20:25] Wonderful donations.

[18:20:27] But yeah we are in the wolf area right now.

[18:20:30] Nice!

[18:20:33] And the lore of the wolves is that after whatever evil thing happened

[18:20:37] in the kingdom they all started fighting each other

[18:20:41] for control of the pack.

[18:20:43] Oh my goodness. But I have

[18:20:44] Emerald Defensive.

[18:20:47] So I take it anyway, right?

[18:20:50] Yeah, why not Yeah why not.

[18:20:52] Another thing that happens when you get an item is

[18:20:54] you get a heal of two in hard

[18:20:56] so even though I took off 2 health

[18:20:58] from Miyadaka we're back in business

[18:21:00] Wait...I have pigeon bow I have Pigeon Bow?

[18:21:03] I have zero cooldown Pigeon Bow.

[18:21:03] Let's go.

[18:21:06] Here is Miran, the area boss.

[18:21:09] Combines a lot of the other mechanics that we've seen so far and will also see

[18:21:11] a phase two. So every area boss has two phases,

[18:21:14] and then they transform

[18:21:15] and things get a little spicy.

[18:21:17] So as I mentioned before

[18:21:19] they were fighting each other

[18:21:20] for control of the pack

[18:21:21] and Miran has constantly been winning. Tasha came all

[18:21:24] the way from up north to try and win control of the

[18:21:28] pack as well, but hasn't quite managed

[18:21:32] beat Muran yet. But don't worry, at the end of the story they become

[18:21:35] friends. Spoiler alert!

[18:21:37] Spoiler alert everyone becomes friends at the end. It's cute. Buy this game, play

[18:21:42] this game.

[18:21:44] Go ahead and read a donation right now if you have the chance.

[18:21:45] Absolutely, we have $100 from Nost who says Rabbit & Steel is my Game of the Year for 2024.

[18:21:51] Let's get that incentive finished.

[18:21:53] Y'all do not want to miss Red Dark House Lunar!

[18:21:56] Yes, absolutely. We are going through three areas

[18:22:00] in Hard Mode here. We're going to be going through King's Arsenal

[18:22:04] the Wolf area followed by Emerald Lakeside

[18:22:06] The Frogs and then Churchmouse

[18:22:08] Streets which three guesses on what

[18:22:10] that one is

[18:22:11] but there's also two other areas

[18:22:15] Red Dark House and Scholars Nest.

[18:22:17] And I have been told that if we have time

[18:22:20] if you meet the incentive

[18:22:22] we can show off both of those areas

[18:22:24] so make sure to get that money

[18:22:25] and you might get a little bonus along with it

[18:22:28] Yeah would you like an update on it quickly?

[18:22:30] Sure absolutely. So we are at

[18:22:32] $8,438

[18:22:34] 56% of the

[18:22:36] Way there. Nice! For, we had this $40

[18:22:38] from Crystal Ships who says

[18:22:40] Chat can we get this Lunar Difficulty

[18:22:42] incentive funded? It's very impressive

[18:22:44] and these 4 gamers are so

[18:22:46] skilled in cool! So you will enjoy watching it.

[18:22:49] Shoutouts to the Celeste Community Channel!

[18:22:51] Hi Crystal!

[18:22:52] Shoutout to the Celeste Community, shout out to Archie Khan.

[18:22:56] I have to keep wiggling, I did not find a safe spot.

[18:23:00] So this is Miran's special signature move

[18:23:04] Each area boss has some kind of a special move that they do during their second phase

[18:23:08] You'll see that she has

[18:23:10] transformed in her into her true wolf form here um

[18:23:14] and she uh her special move is that she makes us

[18:23:18] do this micro micro adjustment sort of

[18:23:21] style of

[18:23:23] play, you get this

[18:23:24] temporal slowdown sort of effect

[18:23:27] and you cannot use your defensive.

[18:23:29] It says no invulnerability but I believe if you no invulnerability, but I believe if you have

[18:23:32] invulnerability on something else it would still let you do it right Spirellis?

[18:23:36] Uh...I believe so. They might've changed that most recent update.

[18:23:40] We're playing on a branch

[18:23:42] that the devs specifically made

[18:23:44] for us? Yes, huge, huge

[18:23:46] shout out to Mino, the solo

[18:23:48] developer of this game who when I reached

[18:23:50] out to him was like yeah totally, I can make a branch for you

[18:23:53] so that we can set the order of the regions that you're going to. So

[18:23:57] we can showcase it exactly how we want to. It's amazing! Can we get some cheers in

[18:24:01] the audience for Amina?

[18:24:04] Thank you so much.

[18:24:05] Absolutely.

[18:24:07] It's been great for practice,

[18:24:10] we can just set like triple dark house, it's awesome.

[18:24:13] And that's Farron.

[18:24:13] That's the first area down, pretty good pace so far.

[18:24:18] By the way I didn't say anything but in the middle of that

[18:24:20] I totally pressed defense.

[18:24:25] Alright what do we got?

[18:24:26] Oh this is Emerald Lakeside

[18:24:29] Here you're gonna want to turn the music up a little bit

[18:24:33] This area is filled with artists You have have Blush the Painter Frog, by the way.

[18:24:37] I'll pet Asha again.

[18:24:41] You've got Blush the Painter Frog, you've got Lene the Songstress, I believe? i believe mad the seamstress um and av the starry frog

[18:24:51] um so i'll go bot top top oh where am i going? It worked!

[18:24:57] I was too busy explaining it.

[18:25:01] Coral's the new shot caller now.

[18:25:05] You'll see that we get a couple of new mechanics in each area. Here we get introduced to matching colors as well as this sort of chain tether that we have.

[18:25:13] Wait! You can actually go fully outside there? That was chill.

[18:25:18] Hello there, people! I think that was chill. Another thing you see us do

[18:25:20] is obviously like trying to position our characters for damage

[18:25:22] so me and Coral are trying to be horizontal with the

[18:25:24] boss as much as possible, to do our attacks

[18:25:26] And it's really important the positioning for us

[18:25:29] to be able to go as fast as possible, do as much damage as possible because

[18:25:32] you can just get mechanics by killing early.

[18:25:36] And the next mechanics we're introduced

[18:25:37] to here are keep Moving and Stop Moving.

[18:25:40] They do what they say on the tin.

[18:25:43] Pretty much.

[18:25:44] Lana, you want to say something?

[18:25:46] Absolutely! Let's chat.

[18:25:48] So I have a little challenge for everybody, actually, because I see something

[18:25:50] really snazzy here. So in order to meet our

[18:25:52] incentive, we need $6,362

[18:25:55] remaining. Now if you

[18:25:56] see our donation total towards Doctors Without

[18:25:58] Borders, we're at $790,000.

[18:26:01] Which means we are well on our way

[18:26:03] to hitting $800,000 and

[18:26:05] by meeting this incentive, we can get

[18:26:07] even closer there. So how about we work together

[18:26:09] and try to get as close to that as possible, alright?

[18:26:12] We also had some love. $50 from Josh

[18:26:14] who said I've been playing plenty

[18:26:16] of Rabbit & Seal. Hard is

[18:26:18] pretty hard but Lunar is just

[18:26:20] another level that people need to see.

[18:26:23] So you heard it here first, let's get that incentive folks

[18:26:26] and let's work towards 800,000 shall we?

[18:26:28] Yeah, let's get it.

[18:26:30] Thank you so much.

[18:26:31] Here we have a lot of fun matching colors to do.

[18:26:33] Blush is one of my favorite fights in the game.

[18:26:35] Mm-hmm.

[18:26:36] Blush, as you might see on the top right,

[18:26:37] is the Painter Frog,

[18:26:38] so of course she gives us some extra colors

[18:26:40] to work with.

[18:26:41] It's worth mentioning

[18:26:42] and we didn't mention this before but each area has

[18:26:44] two basic encounters which are random between two variants

[18:26:48] and then there is the mini boss which is what we're in right now followed by

[18:26:52] final area boss!

[18:27:00] And each, generally what happens is that each of the basic

[18:27:02] encounters introduces mechanics,

[18:27:04] uh...the mini-boss gives you a slightly higher complexity version

[18:27:08] of something and then the final boss puts it all together.

[18:27:12] I just pressed defensive but its okay because we're about to win.

[18:27:18] And there she is!

[18:27:21] After each

[18:27:22] mini-boss, we do get one additional item.

[18:27:24] Again, that is part of the two

[18:27:26] that's one of the two major roguelike elements of this

[18:27:29] is that you have these items as well as the shops as your options

[18:27:33] for how to progress um i don't love any of these if someone else wants queen's crown though uh

[18:27:41] i cannot watch crown yeah can i buy you for it you want a all right here

[18:27:48] all right Rock paper scissors shoot!

[18:27:52] Alright you got it.

[18:27:56] Thanks man.

[18:27:59] So this is Aby the Starry Frog, you might have noticed that in

[18:28:02] rest of this area there was a lot of singing happening

[18:28:05] um...Aby is a very famous artist now and doesn't have time to spend with her friends, don't really collab with her smaller artist friends anymore.

[18:28:21] And that's the main story, but don't worry

[18:28:23] they become friends in the end.

[18:28:24] We already spoiled that!

[18:28:27] Yeah a lot of keep moving stop moving going on we also have these little spreads so you have to keep

[18:28:31] moving but not run into your uh teammates which is hard to do but yeah that's a good time for some

[18:28:36] donations as we do phase one yeah we have some love here so we we have $50 from Corvimey who says,

[18:28:42] Hi, Cortnaco.

[18:28:43] Really excited that this run is finally here

[18:28:46] so that you can stop practicing the whole time

[18:28:48] and start playing FFXIV with me.

[18:28:50] Yay!

[18:28:51] Slightly faced. Donation goes to Runner's Choice And start playing FFXIV with me. Yay! Smiley face.

[18:28:52] Donation goes to Runner's Choice, assuming the Runner's Choice is Lunar Difficulty.

[18:28:56] Oh it absolutely is. We'd love to see that get done.

[18:28:58] I did download Final Fantasy XIV and start playing with me. So it's over.

[18:29:03] Come on, Court. We are at

[18:29:05] $9000 already. Over the

[18:29:06] 9000 towards our 15000 so that's

[18:29:08] 60% of the way there. Let's keep pushing

[18:29:11] folks. We are doing so well.

[18:29:12] But time is short I do want to point out that the estimate for this run

[18:29:15] is 35 minutes and we're already at 14

[18:29:18] So let's keep pushing alright folks, time is short

[18:29:22] We're actually doing really well on damage

[18:29:24] so it might even come in under that

[18:29:26] Get your underpins in now!

[18:29:30] That Queen's Crown really helped, thanks Hako

[18:29:34] Alright phase two! This is a really, really fun elaboration on the

[18:29:38] fall of the color tag. As mentioned before she's a singer so

[18:29:42] of course she makes us play osu!

[18:29:48] The approach rate's pretty low though.

[18:29:50] It's honestly harder because I always try and over-shoot.

[18:29:56] My headcannon by the way in this area is that

[18:29:58] Aby herself is singing

[18:30:00] Emerald Lakeside music

[18:30:02] because as soon as you...

[18:30:05] As soon as you get into Oh, I was not. I'm in the middle, right? Or is it... I think it's me.

[18:30:06] Oops!

[18:30:07] As soon as you get into the boss fight

[18:30:08] the saying stops.

[18:30:09] How do you explain that, huh?

[18:30:11] Makes sense to me.

[18:30:12] Fantastic.

[18:30:13] Time for another

[18:30:14] donation or two.

[18:30:15] For sure. We have $50 from Amber Loves Archie who says

[18:30:19] Shoutouts to my friends on R&S from the back couch

[18:30:22] It's been awesome seeing y'all go from chaos and voice calls

[18:30:26] To coordinated gameplay on

[18:30:28] the big stage. Shoutouts to the city,

[18:30:30] let's see some more Lunar!

[18:30:33] Shoutouts to the city.

[18:30:34] Thank you so much Amber.

[18:30:36] Do you have time for another one? Yeah.

[18:30:38] We have $10 from Bree12am who says,

[18:30:40] Extremely goaded Rabbit and Steel team!

[18:30:42] Best of rabbit luck to

[18:30:44] everyone!

[18:30:49] My Lunar Duo with so much fun learning mechanics with you

[18:30:51] We gotta see the Lunar Showcase

[18:30:53] Come on, let's reach that incentive!

[18:30:55] Oh my gosh thank you so

[18:30:57] much both of y'all.

[18:30:59] We have a server where we've been learning this and playing it together.

[18:31:02] Alright there it is! That's Aby.

[18:31:06] I'm winning by the way.

[18:31:07] You're winning?

[18:31:08] Just so everyone knows.

[18:31:09] Our damage numbers are pretty uh

[18:31:10] pretty evenly spread though yeah it's that it's that uh queen's crowd

[18:31:16] yay oh i just got a the Rabbit Luck upgrade.

[18:31:20] Which is going to go crazy with that Golden Katana.

[18:31:23] So what Rabbit Luck does

[18:31:25] it changes the buff that I give a team

[18:31:28] from...it used to be Warcry

[18:31:30] which was just a flat 20% damage buff for the whole team.

[18:31:33] And now instead gives a buff that makes it so any percent chances anyone on the team has during

[18:31:39] that time will always occur.

[18:31:41] Yeah y'all are gonna see some silly right now.

[18:31:44] It also increases crit chance

[18:31:46] which is also going to be really good with

[18:31:48] Coral's Queen's Crown

[18:31:50] which increases crit damage from the base

[18:31:53] of 30% to 60%,

[18:31:55] so it just doubles that chance.

[18:31:58] I also have Red

[18:31:59] Tanzaku, which we didn't really talk about,

[18:32:01] but it has a chance to do

[18:32:04] a few random miracle effects.

[18:32:06] I don't know if there's any way to affect that with rabbit luck.

[18:32:11] Interestingly enough, I wonder...

[18:32:12] Mino, if you're watching this...

[18:32:13] Let us know! Can you tell us?

[18:32:17] Alright but yeah we are here in Church House Streets the gimmick of

[18:32:19] this area is that we have like heavy and very heavy that you can see

[18:32:22] happening here but also a lot of the fights are like duo

[18:32:26] fights in the area boss you're going to have they're gonna summon little mice to fight us

[18:32:29] it's really cute i love this area um mati the boss of this area

[18:32:35] is a paladin mouse

[18:32:37] and the lore

[18:32:38] is that

[18:32:38] these mice

[18:32:39] are trying to protect

[18:32:40] the streets

[18:32:41] of this kingdom

[18:32:42] that we're in

[18:32:43] and anyone

[18:32:44] that they perceive

[18:32:44] as an intruder uh is according to them, so they will attack.

[18:32:49] Mati very valiantly tries to fight us and all her friends will come and join in.

[18:32:55] Can I give a quick update on the incentive? Absolutely! friends will come and join in. It's really cute.

[18:32:57] Can I give a quick update on the incentive?

[18:32:59] Absolutely.

[18:33:01] So we are at $10,779 which puts us at 71% of the way there, which means less than $5,000.

[18:33:11] Folks let's get those rolling in!

[18:33:13] We had $50 from Dusty Tome saying donating to see more rabbits on stream.

[18:33:17] Let's go, Lunar Difficulty!

[18:33:21] Thank you all so much. We've been practicing

[18:33:24] and we really want to show it off, so please get the donations in.

[18:33:33] God our damage got so much better yeah my numbers is gonna be very silly time for another donation yep we have fifty dollars from

[18:33:39] chernsel who says rabbit and steel is an awesome game let's make lunar happen

[18:33:46] we also had 150 from brianp who says, gotta see someone

[18:33:50] do Lunar because I can't.

[18:33:53] Thanks for your honesty.

[18:33:56] We appreciate

[18:33:57] you so much. Really good

[18:33:59] damage. Whoa!

[18:34:05] There's the red Tanzaku that I mentioned before, it gave me a heal and I didn't need a heal. It gave you full health but you both hit less.

[18:34:09] Obsidian Rot... Is anyone taking that one? Do I have Loot Cooldowns? I can't. I'll take Mountain Staff then.

[18:34:19] No one else wants it so I'll take it and hope.

[18:34:25] Something else to mention about this area

[18:34:27] are the specific mechanics that we saw.

[18:34:29] You noticed that we had those tethers

[18:34:31] that we had those tethers that we have to stretch. If

[18:34:33] you are not far enough away

[18:34:35] from whatever your tethered to,

[18:34:37] typically your allies

[18:34:39] you

[18:34:41] will simply take damage.

[18:34:44] Similarly a big focus of this area is these knockbacks

[18:34:48] as we saw right there

[18:34:52] as well heavy and very heavy status effects which makes it so that

[18:34:54] your move speed is set to a specific value. That was tight.

[18:34:58] I pressed

[18:35:02] defensive again-I'm unbinding it after this fight.

[18:35:07] Alright, this attack is really tricky.

[18:35:08] Arguably harder than the Lunar version.

[18:35:10] You gotta get to the right color and then wait for the moose

[18:35:12] to pass and get in there very quickly.

[18:35:14] It's cool though. I like this one. wait for the moose to pass and get in there very quickly.

[18:35:16] It's cool, though. I like this one.

[18:35:17] Nice.

[18:35:19] Nice?

[18:35:21] Sweet.

[18:35:22] Sorry, go ahead.

[18:35:29] We're just going to line up here and then we don't really have to move much, and then we'll be getting into phase two soon so a quick donation here would be great.

[18:35:32] Yeah for sure big update we are at $11,000 towards our incentive.

[18:35:37] Less than 4,000 needed.

[18:35:38] We are flying folks.

[18:35:41] Listen I am so proud of y'all okay?

[18:35:43] You're making great work.

[18:35:44] We have $1,000 from So who says,

[18:35:47] Lunar Difficulty!

[18:35:49] Hi, So.

[18:35:50] Hi, So.

[18:35:51] Thank you so much.

[18:35:52] Oh my gosh, thank you.

[18:35:55] The mouse heart gone by.

[18:35:57] We just switched to phase two.

[18:35:58] Maddie transformed into a mouse and called on all her friends.

[18:36:02] But we have really good AOE. We have Rabbit Luck alongside the Golden Katana

[18:36:06] which as you can see is dealing 500 damage every time court

[18:36:10] presses primary i believe it's even hazard right yeah yeah so i took a very

[18:36:13] selfish thing it has a massive aoe and so it just hits all of

[18:36:18] the mice on the screen,

[18:36:20] and just demolishes them.

[18:36:22] Right, to explain that combo a little bit more

[18:36:24] I explained Rabaluck but

[18:36:26] The Golden Katana itself

[18:36:28] Just has a 5% chance to deal 500 damage

[18:36:30] every time you use primary or secondary. So, Rabaluf

[18:36:34] turns that 5% into 100%. Are we ready? Let's practice!

[18:36:38] Wait hold on.

[18:36:40] Oh I went too fast!

[18:36:41] Hold on.

[18:36:41] I don't remember what this looks like.

[18:36:44] OK, OK, OK.

[18:36:45] I think I got it.

[18:36:49] I didn't do right either.

[18:36:50] We love doing our MSP diagrams for these...

[18:36:54] I'm just standing out here, I don't feel like rotating this time!

[18:36:56] It's worth mentioning what the smaller mice actually do here.

[18:37:00] Each one of them is summoning

[18:37:02] one of the mechanics that you see on screen. Unfortunately we're killing them so fast

[18:37:06] that you probably won't see them but maybe we'll get to see one of them here? Yeah! You'll see

[18:37:10] one of them put these tethers on us and we've cleared that

[18:37:13] and then one of them put the line on us and that just got clear

[18:37:17] and now we just have a one i didn't even see where the last one was i'm so confused

[18:37:24] all right here you need to be up here, Coral!

[18:37:26] No, all good.

[18:37:28] What if I ran up in the middle though?

[18:37:30] Just what if?

[18:37:32] Oh right my GCD is like extreme. I forgot.

[18:37:36] This is a good time for another donation!

[18:37:37] Yeah let's do a little check in so I do want to update that we are now over 75% of the way there.

[18:37:45] But we have

[18:37:47] 10 minutes to go!

[18:37:49] So let's keep those coming in and rush

[18:37:51] for it. I apologize about this next one,

[18:37:53] but we're getting into Pond Central here.

[18:37:55] We have $25 from Rissa who says,

[18:37:58] What happens when the party gets tired and needs to stop for a snack?

[18:38:02] Rabbit end meal.

[18:38:04] Thanks so much for your donation, we do appreciate you! Alright this is the final shop

[18:38:10] So basically you heal up get any last upgrades you need and spend all your money on levels

[18:38:14] Each level will give you one percent boost in damage so it's worth spending your money on levels um each level will give you one percent boost in damage so it's worth

[18:38:18] spending right uh real quick as court mentioned this is the final area we're getting very close

[18:38:24] to the end of the run so if you want want to see that Lunar Showcase, this

[18:38:28] is your last chance to get those donations in.

[18:38:30] I know we're super close.

[18:38:33] We'd love to showcase

[18:38:34] that. We've

[18:38:36] won like a million runs in our own practice, and we just wanted to show it off.

[18:38:42] Alright, Pale Keep! All of these bosses are transformed so you'll always get backstab on them if that's something you have.

[18:38:48] And they're mostly just DPS checks, making sure that

[18:38:51] You have a solid build and we definitely do

[18:38:54] So it's not something we need to worry too much about

[18:39:00] Do you have time for a quick donation? Yeah! Absolutely! So we have $25 from Akoma

[18:39:04] who says, donating for Lunar Difficulty and for the civil plushie

[18:39:08] on the right side. Two of my favorite indie games from

[18:39:12] the last year thank you updating that we're at eleven thousand five hundred

[18:39:17] and ninety nine dollars come on folks who we can do this

[18:39:20] time is short but we are also making great

[18:39:22] progress towards the 800k mark so let's try to get those two goals at once shall we?

[18:39:27] Absolutely. Did I hit you?

[18:39:29] Uh...I walked away.

[18:39:32] I didn't take damage.

[18:39:36] You can go ahead with a couple more.

[18:39:38] For sure! So we had $20 from

[18:39:40] Carleo who says,

[18:39:42] Tasha only donate $5.

[18:39:44] But watch!

[18:39:45] Tasha is now four.

[18:39:47] More donations.

[18:39:49] More bunny and steel.

[18:39:55] We also had $100 from Kalt who says, rabbit and seal.

[18:39:57] I am sold!

[18:39:58] Indeed.

[18:40:01] And that puts us almost at $12,000.

[18:40:04] We are making great progress. Let's go folks you're doing great. We got this I believe!

[18:40:07] Oh alright just the best item for me in the last job

[18:40:11] Yeah let me pick the one that makes me use my defensive

[18:40:14] Good idea.

[18:40:16] Something else I wanted to mention while we were going through Pale Keep

[18:40:19] is that all of those enemies are like objects, right?

[18:40:25] There's an axe, there's a sword

[18:40:27] a shield, a spear

[18:40:29] and as Court mentioned

[18:40:31] you get backstab on them because they're

[18:40:33] considered to be transformed

[18:40:34] and that's the same state as on them because they're considered to be transformed.

[18:40:35] And that's like the same state as other

[18:40:38] bosses when they transform into their

[18:40:41] animal forms, you get backstab on them so

[18:40:44] what I'm saying is that implies the existence of spear girls shield girls axe girls

[18:40:50] harp girls uh and all i'm saying is uh you know you've gotta get us some art

[18:40:56] of that.

[18:40:56] I really want to see that.

[18:40:59] Alright, this is Shira,

[18:41:00] Rabbit of the Moon.

[18:41:02] This is the final boss.

[18:41:04] It's a really, really fun fight

[18:41:05] and it's the only time we actually fight a rabbit.

[18:41:08] Her story is that she was lonely.

[18:41:12] So she came and she made everyone evil.

[18:41:14] Oh, I'm doing the Lunar move for me?

[18:41:16] She came and made everyone evil, then went and came to talk to the moon and

[18:41:23] said hey I'm lonely you wanna hang out? And the moon rejected her so now she's mad.

[18:41:30] But it's okay we become friends with her after.

[18:41:32] Of course we do!

[18:41:36] Yeah this fight combines basically a lot of the mechanics that we've already seen.

[18:41:39] So he's got the cleave here I'm gonna like dash into the cleave and spread out

[18:41:42] And make sure we have enough room for everyone

[18:41:44] I always like running into the cleave because then I don't

[18:41:47] I'm bad at leaving space for people so this time

[18:41:49] I just get away from them as far as possible.

[18:41:50] The Bruiser also tends to be the fastest character in the game because it has high base move speed

[18:41:55] As well as the Berserk buff which increases your move speed and decreases your HP.

[18:42:06] My cooldown is really fast, yeah exactly.

[18:42:09] We got cleaves, we have the boxes here from Red Dark House which we haven't seen

[18:42:12] yet but we're hoping to see!

[18:42:13] Oh we could see!

[18:42:14] It's all clear!

[18:42:15] Let us show you up there.

[18:42:16] It's so close.

[18:42:17] Oh oh hi.

[18:42:18] Oh I didn't see that.

[18:42:19] You just got booned.

[18:42:20] Don't say that. Oh my god.'t see that. You just have Moon.

[18:42:22] Don't say that!

[18:42:26] And we made it folks and we've hit $800,000 for Doctors Without Borders.

[18:42:35] Amazing work everybody!

[18:42:38] Thank you so much. I thought y'all were cheering for Kurt saying we got goody.

[18:42:44] It's both, it's both.

[18:42:46] Oh my gosh I'm so happy.

[18:42:48] I didn't want to stop playing the game already.

[18:42:50] Ah! It was too fast.

[18:42:52] Yeah this run is going to be coming in pretty decently under I believe.

[18:42:55] We basically pleaded all of our health before the phase change which was awesome.

[18:42:59] You'll see because generally phase change happens a little under half HP on the bar

[18:43:05] and because we dealt more

[18:43:07] damage than that, Shira starts

[18:43:09] with less HP on the second

[18:43:11] phase.

[18:43:13] Can we have a quick donation quickly? This one's very special

[18:43:16] We have $1,000

[18:43:18] from Nino underscore

[18:43:20] dev who said

[18:43:21] Let's go Lunar!

[18:43:27] Thank you so much for your love. We appreciate your game so, so much.

[18:43:29] This is offensive.

[18:43:30] Oh, thank you so much.

[18:43:31] I can't use my defensive anyone want to help me out?

[18:43:35] She's charging an unavoidable attack. you need to save your defensive for it i have two

[18:43:39] charges of it so i never have to worry about this but it's a common thing that gets us in lunar runs

[18:43:43] when we're trying to do damage there we go and we get rabbit luckaluck for it! Thanks, Spirialis!

[18:43:48] Yeah no problem.

[18:43:52] Alright yeah we're coming up on the end here... We have to have two people on each side

[18:43:56] with spreads um all right we should be able to build before the second

[18:44:05] uh what's it called yeah for, before the second attack.

[18:44:08] Second unavoidable Yen.

[18:44:10] Just like each area boss has a signature move

[18:44:12] that is Shira's signature move.

[18:44:14] And now it's time!

[18:44:17] Wow, 1,812 ports.

[18:44:20] Oops! Sorry!

[18:44:24] 2820. That's a really good run. We got some really good items.

[18:44:28] Thanks, Mino!

[18:44:32] But with that we are going to be going ahead into the Lunar Showcase

[18:44:35] I want to once again shout out Mino

[18:44:37] for setting us up with this tool

[18:44:39] that allows us to select which areas we'll be going to We are very grateful to our team at

[18:44:41] Meno for setting us up with this tool that allows us to select

[18:44:43] which areas we will be going to. So, we'll be starting out in red

[18:44:47] dark house and assuming we do still have the time seeing as

[18:44:50] we came decently under, crossing my fingers.

[18:44:51] We will go ahead and show y'all Scholar's Nest efforts

[18:44:54] so if you all are ready

[18:44:57] we'll start in 3...2...1

[18:45:00] Go!

[18:45:02] Alright so immediately what you'll notice

[18:45:04] is that we only have 3

[18:45:06] HP.

[18:45:10] And there's one of them! Um, and when we go to a treasure chest in hard you heal 2 HP. In lunar...

[18:45:18] I unbound my defensive!

[18:45:24] Oh no.

[18:45:26] It's okay, I'll solve that after this fight

[18:45:28] The treasure chests only heal once

[18:45:30] so damn it, health is always a concern here

[18:45:34] And you will see that even in Kingdom Outskirts

[18:45:36] there are more mechanics going on

[18:45:38] than some of the basic fights

[18:45:40] in...

[18:45:45] That was gonna be fun.

[18:45:47] Do you want Storms or both Spirit Alice?

[18:45:49] I could take both.

[18:45:51] Ummm....

[18:45:53] I don't have any percent chances right now, so I think I picked Bone.

[18:45:55] I guess I'll just grab Elegy?

[18:45:58] Nice opening item set! Carl you wanna talk about Book of Cheats?

[18:46:02] Okay yeah, so my character along with Darkspell being a resource.

[18:46:06] My special has three uses per cooldown so since the Book of

[18:46:10] Cheats has random effects every time I use it's special, every cooldown I get 3 uses

[18:46:14] and I get to cheat three times.

[18:46:17] Not really cheat but you know.

[18:46:18] I actually don't know what

[18:46:21] you get here.

[18:46:22] If you could say the full pool

[18:46:25] that'd be really cool man.

[18:46:26] I want to say

[18:46:28] that like...

[18:46:30] I wanna say

[18:46:32] you can get effects

[18:46:34] that would sometimes be on other upgrades

[18:46:36] Like I've seen it change the number of times that an attack

[18:46:38] hits before, but I don't know if I hallucinated then.

[18:46:42] Um...I will take Stonebreaker Staff absolutely unless

[18:46:46] you want that. Carl? take care of him. Carl?

[18:46:49] Hydra's blob, I think. Okay.

[18:46:51] Spiral Alistar getting the stone skin.

[18:46:53] Granite skin, not stoneskin. Not bad!

[18:46:57] That was a recently changed item that gives you damage immunity for, I think it's the first 30 seconds before it wears off?

[18:47:05] I believe this one just lasts indefinitely and also gives a 20% damage buff while I have it.

[18:47:09] Don't leave me! But it also slows you down greatly until

[18:47:12] you lose it we'll see if they're much slower than everyone else in the team right now

[18:47:16] yes that's outskirts take me back to my previous build i'm place now. 605 and 672, wait what's going on here?

[18:47:23] Alright so this is Red Darkhouse.

[18:47:25] Uh Red Darkhouse has either the first or second hardest mechanics in Lunar, I would argue.

[18:47:35] Let me grab one of these real quick.

[18:47:37] Yes, yes. I'll pet Asha. Thank you!

[18:47:46] Well, I'll take a regen potion. It will heal us up too throughout the area just for safety

[18:47:49] I think we'd all agree that...

[18:47:51] Oh, we got the hard version.

[18:47:52] Oh boy.

[18:47:54] No, the granite skin man.

[18:47:57] Alright cool, well we're chillin'.

[18:47:59] We'll explain after this one.

[18:48:02] We might have to focus a little bit on Lunary.

[18:48:04] Mind if I interrupt and help you focus for a second?

[18:48:12] So, I do want to tell everybody about a new incentive that we have open for the Halo 3 run coming up.

[18:48:17] I do need a little audience support though.

[18:48:19] Does anyone know the exclamation from Bluey?

[18:48:22] What do we all say with Bluey?

[18:48:25] Hooray!

[18:48:27] Stunning! So,

[18:48:29] we have a Bluey mode that is open if you're a fan of confetti and hoorays. This one adds

[18:48:31] a skull modifier that causes a burst

[18:48:33] of confettis along with the big hurray every time

[18:48:36] a grunt gets a headshot.

[18:48:38] So if you want to have a party

[18:48:40] with the Halo 3 run coming up, we need $5,000

[18:48:42] We have about 200 already

[18:48:44] Y'all noticed it so let's work towards that.

[18:48:47] I do want to shout out for our last incentive

[18:48:49] we had $3,000 from So who says

[18:48:52] okay Lunar for real though.

[18:48:54] Wow!

[18:48:55] Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I just saw that one! Thank you so much, though.

[18:48:57] I just thought of that one.

[18:49:01] Alright this is Carsey, very famous

[18:49:03] mini boss in this area

[18:49:05] she basically starts out transformed I need to get the heck over here!

[18:49:08] And you are bound in this circle

[18:49:12] so it's a lot of stuff that is just...you can really pay attention to where

[18:49:16] you are going. Yes, Fearhouse being slow might not help us out here but it's

[18:49:20] okay you have granite skin so i'm coming oh my goodness i totally just walked into the center

[18:49:25] because i was talking to scooch yeah um so what i was trying to mention earlier is that uh red

[18:49:31] dark castles probably the first or second most mechanically difficult area i think

[18:49:35] everyone would probably agree that uh church... Hold on.

[18:49:40] Y'all need to swap. No, you two are!

[18:49:44] Did you take damage? No I didn't. Nice!

[18:49:48] I think everyone would agree that Churchmouse is probably the hardest, purely because of the DPS checks involved.

[18:49:52] But in terms of the actual mechanics you're dealing with it's usually Emerald Lakeside or this one that's the most challenging for us.

[18:49:59] We've done a lot of practice on this one so hopefully's the most challenging for us.

[18:50:00] But we've done a lot of practice on this one

[18:50:02] so hopefully we'll be able to get it clean and showcase it for you.

[18:50:05] Yeah. This also features... We have numbers

[18:50:07] that help us with the mechanics

[18:50:09] very important on Lunar.

[18:50:12] Meetup? Yep. Alright here you have to alternate having a

[18:50:16] circle and spread so we typically just have the person with the spread go

[18:50:20] first and then the rest of it kind of works out.

[18:50:23] Unless you forget which way that thing is rotating,

[18:50:25] which isn't very easy to do.

[18:50:27] But now's a good time for

[18:50:29] a donation. Yeah, for sure!

[18:50:31] Also there's Carson.

[18:50:32] We have a very donation yeah for sure

[18:50:37] we have a very special 15 from kwan who says couldn't catch void stranger but needed to donate for rabbit and seal

[18:50:41] spheria co-fly goral my goats. Special shoutouts to Coral my pooky bear.

[18:50:46] What is up my pookie bear? What happened man?

[18:50:51] Hey there Quan. Quan is another one of the players in our server where we hang out and play bunny...

[18:50:55] Oh! What did we just roll on?

[18:50:57] Ninja Robe?

[18:50:58] Not bad.

[18:51:00] Spirialis has 100% chances so he won the role.

[18:51:03] He gets to get luckier all right this is ronalee she is the princess

[18:51:08] and the former ruler of this area before um before uh shira showed up.

[18:51:16] That's what I was looking for.

[18:51:18] She combines all the mechanics that we saw just now

[18:51:22] and makes them way more complex,

[18:51:24] so we're probably going to need to focus on this circle again ah sorry

[18:51:31] i'll be the sacrifice not sacrifice the team i wouldn't want to do that

[18:51:36] all right close here yep I wouldn't want to do that. All right.

[18:51:37] Close here?

[18:51:38] Yep, sounds good.

[18:51:40] Oh you're so slow man!

[18:51:43] So true.

[18:51:45] Close again.

[18:51:52] So another thing in Lunar that we didn't really see and hard at all is rage.

[18:51:54] Close, close.

[18:51:58] You have to do a certain amount of damage before the boss will just own you. Close!

[18:51:59] Oh, where are we going?

[18:52:01] Going in the middle.

[18:52:02] Alright!

[18:52:03] Everyone on them.

[18:52:04] All good, all good.

[18:52:05] Come right.

[18:52:06] I'm over here.

[18:52:11] Talking and playing this game is very hard, but Lana you can talk while we're doing this.

[18:52:13] Oh my gosh! Sure thing!

[18:52:15] So, we have $10 from Elysium

[18:52:17] who says, Rabbit in Steel is the game I never knew

[18:52:20] I needed until I played it.

[18:52:22] 200 hours later,

[18:52:24] I'm chasing no-hit Lunar for the last achievement.

[18:52:26] Tasha is best wolf

[18:52:28] and Ancient is best rabbit. Yeah,

[18:52:30] Ancient! Woo!

[18:52:32] Can I get some cheers from the crowd for Ancient?

[18:52:35] Yeah!

[18:52:38] Oh, I'm going out here.

[18:52:39] My bad. Okay, no, you were in the right spot.

[18:52:41] I do just want to say also we have a big hurray towards Bluey Mode putting us at $632 already making really great progress folks.

[18:52:48] I see the love.

[18:52:50] Bottom left?

[18:52:52] How'd you get all the way over there?

[18:52:54] I don't know, she just pushed me.

[18:52:57] Red right?

[18:52:58] Alright.

[18:53:02] Am I wrong? No, you guys were wrong. I followed Spirialis! That works 99% of the time!

[18:53:06] Right. I'm defensive-ing. Thank you to my team for letting

[18:53:10] me follow them. Top right?

[18:53:12] Works 99% of the time.

[18:53:15] Top right again.

[18:53:16] Thanks guys.

[18:53:19] That attack is really tough to learn, though.

[18:53:24] We're doing good damage.

[18:53:25] Yeah.

[18:53:27] Oh, I need to go, I need to go, I need to go.

[18:53:30] Nooooo!

[18:53:33] It was barely outside.

[18:53:33] This is going to be rough.

[18:53:36] I don't even have a defensive.

[18:53:39] So tragic.

[18:53:42] We have a knockout timer, and i will be up in a little bit

[18:53:46] this actually is going to make this attack a lot easier

[18:53:52] would you have time for some donations? Go ahead. Of course.

[18:53:55] So we had $25 from Shift who said,

[18:53:57] More Banui!

[18:53:59] MORE BANUI!!!

[18:54:01] And we also had $10 from Noxshy

[18:54:03] who says

[18:54:04] I was pleasantly surprised to see this game on the

[18:54:06] schedule. I know you will all steal the show and have some good

[18:54:10] rabbit luck on the Lunar Run! Thanks so much for your donations

[18:54:14] we appreciate them. Oh man

[18:54:17] Rotating center

[18:54:19] Alright Spirials we got this

[18:54:21] Woo!

[18:54:23] We're the same color, yes

[18:54:25] Alright I'm going to slide.

[18:54:27] Oh this is chill.

[18:54:30] Great. Okay.

[18:54:31] Thanks Mino.

[18:54:35] Alright we should be good.

[18:54:37] A little bit sketchy.

[18:54:38] Definitely had cleaner ones than that one but...

[18:54:42] Wait! We can get the swag!

[18:54:46] You got it? Get ready...

[18:54:50] Yeah!

[18:54:54] You get an achievement for that.

[18:54:58] Really nice, and just making sure we still have time,

[18:55:01] We can go ahead and show off Scholar's Nest the fifth and final area of Rabid & Steel

[18:55:07] Let's see.

[18:55:11] I'll grab one of these.

[18:55:14] Alright, it's my last area.

[18:55:15] Spending all my money.

[18:55:17] Oh, I don't have enough for that.

[18:55:20] Oh, pattern! Right have enough for that.

[18:55:21] Oh! Pen her right, right, right, there you go.

[18:55:23] Woo!

[18:55:25] Thank you for keeping us honest okay?

[18:55:27] Scholar's Nest this area is fun, has mechanics like teleports and

[18:55:31] it's great. This area is really

[18:55:34] pretty to watch. Everyone here is a crow

[18:55:36] Their lore is

[18:55:38] that they like shiny things except

[18:55:39] only the first two. The other two are sisters

[18:55:42] and one of them is really into the stars

[18:55:44] and the other one is like, hey, when are we going to hang out?

[18:55:48] Yeah, here we're purposely spreading out

[18:55:50] I need to be here.

[18:55:54] You can go ahead and make a couple donations mom for sure I do want to shout out that we had $1,000 from

[18:55:59] nuclear cheese who was supporting us here thank you so much for your donation.

[18:56:05] And we also had $20 from Tooth Knows All who says

[18:56:09] those rabbit ears just totally made my day! Here's five dollars for each pair, y'all are the best! Thank you so much!

[18:56:18] Yeah when we showed up I surprised them all with the rabbit ears and

[18:56:21] i think it made it, I love it. I could not see there,

[18:56:25] there was text all over my rabbit

[18:56:27] So here we have these

[18:56:29] binds that lock us in a certain

[18:56:31] plane and we have to be paying attention

[18:56:33] to who has the spread, who has the line

[18:56:35] and make sure

[18:56:35] we're not hitting each other

[18:56:36] but also trying

[18:56:37] to be positioned

[18:56:38] in a way

[18:56:39] that we can do damage.

[18:56:40] So it's really fun fight.

[18:56:43] We should kill here?

[18:56:44] All right.

[18:56:45] Nice.

[18:56:46] Now we come onto the mini-boss

[18:56:48] of Scholar's Nest,

[18:56:50] I believe it is Saya,

[18:56:52] the Archon Crow.

[18:56:54] She loves teleporting us.

[18:56:56] She will teleport so many times, in fact she loves teleporting us

[18:56:59] so much that she gives us two for free and they don't even do anything.

[18:57:05] A lot of this fight is revolving around similarly staying in

[18:57:09] a circle who are we going to see it oh let's find out

[18:57:17] there's a few variants of the attacks we were hoping to get

[18:57:18] them all with the X.

[18:57:20] Yeah, there is one version that's a lot more complex than

[18:57:22] the other and it's fun to resolve but yeah as you can

[18:57:26] see, it walls around a lot

[18:57:30] around these circles that we have to match up alongside

[18:57:35] reading these teleports makes for a very complex fight to read

[18:57:38] but once you understand it, It makes for a very complex fight to read.

[18:57:39] But once you understand it, we're doing pretty good.

[18:57:43] There's a lot of ways that you are able to learn this.

[18:57:49] Like with this attack,'s like reading your shortest teleport

[18:57:50] and going on the outside

[18:57:54] Also I highly recommend

[18:57:56] buying this game! Playing this game

[18:57:58] You can play both solo and with up to four people co-op it's really really fun i used

[18:58:02] to be terrible at this game uh but now i have 210 hours of it and i'm playing it on the gdq

[18:58:06] stage which is amazing so please play this game mm-hmm it's so much fun and the dev is super active.

[18:58:14] The dev loves this game as much as we do.

[18:58:16] Spends so much time on it.

[18:58:18] I always see him in Game Maker working on it.

[18:58:24] Now we are onto our final fight of this incentive. I know a

[18:58:26] crown! Ooh,

[18:58:28] I don't think I can take it. Do you want it?

[18:58:30] No, I'm good.

[18:58:33] Okay...

[18:58:35] Can I have the curse?

[18:58:38] Oh no fight?

[18:58:43] We didn't play Rock Paper the precision. That's crazy!

[18:58:46] Alright so this is Twilight, the Valedictorian Crow

[18:58:49] Similarly to Saya she does a lot of teleports

[18:58:53] But her signature move that we're going to see in the second phase is time

[18:58:56] stop hi um what's up she will stop time and show you three mechanics at once. Oh my god, you're so slow!

[18:59:07] And you have to read and remember

[18:59:10] all 3 of those

[18:59:12] because there is not time for you

[18:59:13] to react to them.

[18:59:16] Sorry, my bad, my bad.

[18:59:18] But Lana, you can go ahead and read a couple here

[18:59:20] as we get through the first phase. Yeah, I'll hop

[18:59:22] right in. So

[18:59:23] we just want to update that

[18:59:25] we are at $1,409

[18:59:27] putting us over 25% of the

[18:59:29] way to our bluey mode.

[18:59:31] I'll go for it.

[18:59:33] We have $11.70

[18:59:35] from Grunt Birthday Party who says,

[18:59:38] Everyone get on board for an $11.70 Hooray train!

[18:59:43] Hooray!

[18:59:46] Thanks so much for supporting this lovely birthday party we got going on.

[18:59:51] This one you always have to go, if you teleport you stay and the other people move

[18:59:55] And now we're into phase two!

[18:59:58] We skipped the attack with him practicing all week!

[19:00:00] No, no it's okay, we have the other attack

[19:00:02] We'll definitely see that one

[19:00:04] You can go ahead and

[19:00:06] keep going Lana Just want to

[19:00:09] shout out that we do have some other support coming in

[19:00:11] here for $50 from Marka311

[19:00:13] saying as someone who

[19:00:15] spent many hours with a bunch of friends getting

[19:00:17] through Halo 3 Legendary,

[19:00:19] I can confirm Grunt Birthday Party makes life a lot better.

[19:00:22] Here's some for Bluey Mode!

[19:00:25] Thank you so much we appreciate it.

[19:00:27] I'll go left.

[19:00:28] Yep.

[19:00:29] Uh...I'll go up and Kurt will go down.

[19:00:30] But that's last. That's last!

[19:00:34] Ordering of this is something...

[19:00:38] I love my team. I guess it stands still for Furry.

[19:00:41] Yeah, you have to shoot horizontally right?

[19:00:44] That was the first time stop mechanic that you just saw

[19:00:48] She showed us three things she expects us to do

[19:00:50] And then we just have to remember the order she showed us three things that she expects us to do,

[19:00:53] and then we just have to remember the order and do them all together.

[19:00:55] Hello!

[19:00:56] You probably should've let Carl stay down.

[19:00:58] I was slow, I think.

[19:01:00] That's true.

[19:01:02] That's true!

[19:01:06] Alrighty. This is the one.

[19:01:09] This is Mena. We call it Mena because it's red the same way as Mena's attack.

[19:01:11] She's the first enemy that we saw uh going up

[19:01:17] uh swap yeah go left

[19:01:24] keep going nice Keep going. Nice!

[19:01:28] Have we gotten hit a single time? Don't say that, you're not supposed to say that!

[19:01:32] I don't think we've gotten hit in You're not supposed to say that!

[19:01:37] I don't think we've gotten hit in the entirety of Scholar's Nest so far. We could change this right now, no, I wouldn't do that.

[19:01:40] Hey, I'm taking the opportunity to do hit list here.

[19:01:47] Don't do it, don't you dare!

[19:01:49] Time!

[19:01:51] Alright we redeemed ourselves.

[19:01:52] That was a fully hitlist scholar nest, I'm pretty sure.

[19:01:55] Wow. I believe so.

[19:01:57] No regen pot needed. Do we keep going?

[19:02:00] Oh no.

[19:02:01] We can't play this round. I would like to though.

[19:02:04] Yeah, it's going pretty well.

[19:02:05] Thank you all so much for watching and for donating

[19:02:07] so that we could showcase those Lunar bosses.

[19:02:10] They're very fun, very hard.

[19:02:12] If you enjoyed watching this, if this game looks cool to you

[19:02:15] please go check

[19:02:17] it out. It's not even that expensive I don't remember

[19:02:19] exactly but you know what? Mino

[19:02:21] can use the money. No just kidding

[19:02:23] He donated a thousand he could

[19:02:25] uh...he could use that back.

[19:02:27] Do you all have any shout-outs?

[19:02:28] Yeah, absolutely.

[19:02:29] I just wanted to say

[19:02:30] that it's amazing

[19:02:31] to be up here on stage

[19:02:32] as a runner

[19:02:33] finally

[19:02:34] with three of the most

[19:02:36] like amazing people

[19:02:37] I love hanging out with you all are awesome

[19:02:39] And it's just an honor to be up here

[19:02:42] and thank you to everyone on Gamesquiddy and on staff for making this whole thing possible

[19:02:48] Yeah, I mean, this was great.

[19:02:51] I want to say thank you to everyone here.

[19:02:54] Everyone on the back couch thanks to Tom who did a big donation as well.

[19:03:07] You can keep going straight up.

[19:03:10] I just want to say thank you

[19:03:12] to everyone who donated for this.

[19:03:14] Alright, yeah.

[19:03:16] I'd like to shout out Akko

[19:03:18] since I took a little bit of a break from Rabbit and Steel. She was really,

[19:03:21] she had reached out to me and said

[19:03:23] do you want to be fourth for GDQ?

[19:03:25] And I was like sure okay but I haven't even cleared Lunar yet

[19:03:27] But throughout the course of a month

[19:03:29] this crew and I we just destroyed Lunar after multiple weeks of odd reviewing

[19:03:35] and frustration and a lot of other things.

[19:03:39] Really shout out to Akko for making this whole thing possible.

[19:03:41] Thank you Carl!

[19:03:43] One quick other person I wanted to shout out.

[19:03:45] I want to shout out Amy for always believing in the Serenity and believing in me so thank you.

[19:03:49] I wanna thank everyone who is supporting this.

[19:03:51] Thank you Min Meno especially.

[19:03:53] Thank you everyone on the back couch and finally thank you to MSF, Doctors Without Borders

[19:03:57] who were supporting this event. I wanna say, Palestine Harrah, Free Palestine.

[19:04:06] Wait, um... Akram can I do one more quick shout out?

[19:04:08] No!

[19:04:10] Hi Kort!

[19:04:12] How's it going?

[19:04:17] Alright! What is up, SGDQ 2024?

[19:04:19] We are Two Guys, Two Brides.

[19:04:21] Two Guys, Two Brides, baby!

[19:04:22] Guy over there to the two brides right in the corner here.

[19:04:26] And we are so excited...

[19:04:27] In the middle, I guess.

[19:04:28] We are so excited to show you Halo 3 Legendary Co-op 4 player.

[19:04:32] This has been something that I've been wanting to do for the past four years.

[19:04:35] I was able to kind of help get all these great folks together, and now here we are.

[19:04:39] We have been grinding like mad for the last 4-5-6 months

[19:04:42] And we're ready to go so I'll let the rest of you introduce yourselves

[19:04:45] Yeah what's up everybody?

[19:04:46] I'm ADef.

[19:04:46] Uh...

[19:04:47] I will be playing the blue elite this afternoon.

[19:04:50] Uh...

[19:04:50] Bri's on the red elite over there and I'll throw it over to my friends on the other table.

[19:04:54] Yep.

[19:04:54] I'm Kronos, long time Halo speedrunner and I will be playing the

[19:04:58] Arbiter. Oh no love for blue okay am to my right?

[19:05:07] I'm NervyDestroyer.

[19:05:08] I've also been running Halo for quite a while

[19:05:10] And I am playing as the Master Chief

[19:05:16] Wait wait wait

[19:05:17] Does anybody in the audience know The name of the blue or red elite?

[19:05:20] Oh okay that's pretty cool.

[19:05:22] Red Elite is Losey Tom!

[19:05:24] Losey Tom baby!

[19:05:26] That is actually true! That is actually true.

[19:05:29] Alright, are we ready to get going folks?

[19:05:31] We're ready.

[19:05:33] And crowd and Nervy let's get a countdown.

[19:05:35] Ready? 3...

[19:05:37] 2....1..... Gooooooo Three, two, one, go!

[19:05:41] Woo.

[19:05:42] All right.

[19:05:43] So this is going to get started.

[19:05:45] I would say that this run is basically we are here

[19:05:48] to support the Master Chief.

[19:05:49] There's a line from Sergeant Johnson later in the game where he says

[19:05:52] and I quote,

[19:05:53] I want everybody supporting the chief!

[19:05:57] So that is what we're going to do.

[19:05:59] Yes, that sounds exactly like that and we're

[19:06:01] going to sound exactly like that. And what we're doing

[19:06:03] I would say most of the time if you're wondering which

[19:06:05] screen to watch look in the bottom left

[19:06:07] and watch Nervy. He's going to be leading the way

[19:06:09] taking the charge and we're going to be doing a lot of death abuse in this run

[19:06:13] because unlike Halo 2 Legendary when you die

[19:06:16] it doesn't just reset back to checkpoint

[19:06:18] It allows you to spawn on one your allies

[19:06:20] assuming that you meet the criteria for that. So we are waiting

[19:06:21] for roughly about 34-35 seconds and then

[19:06:24] we will get rolling here.

[19:06:26] Yeah so Sierra 117 this is of course

[19:06:28] the start of Halo 3

[19:06:30] And just going to give here at what Legendary

[19:06:33] is all about. Enemies in Legendary

[19:06:35] have a ton of health, they deal a ton of damage

[19:06:37] and their aim is incredible. By the way, thank you for

[19:06:39] the $5,000!

[19:06:44] Hooray hoor Hooray!

[19:06:46] Feel free to say hooray whenever you want.

[19:06:48] Death and destruction!

[19:06:52] And so this level is... We much trying to support Nervy here.

[19:06:56] There's going to be a lot of enemies and we are just trying to make sure that Nervy gets to the end

[19:07:01] It's a pretty good mix of combat and movement at this level I feel like

[19:07:04] We all survived? That's good no deaths yet It's a pretty good mix of combat and movement this level, I feel like.

[19:07:04] We all survived?

[19:07:06] We all survived. That's good. No deaths yet.

[19:07:08] Actually no, we just died at the start.

[19:07:12] No unintentional deaths is kind of important here.

[19:07:14] One thing I will say is that A lot of the commentary in this run just by virtue

[19:07:16] of the difficulty of the run if you've played 4 player legendary on your own you might know

[19:07:21] it's quite tough.

[19:07:22] One jackal alive in the tree.

[19:07:23] Got him.

[19:07:24] It's just going to be that we are going to just be doing

[19:07:26] actual comms because

[19:07:28] we need to call out what is going on, who is alive

[19:07:30] and sort of what the situation

[19:07:32] is. We've got two alive

[19:07:34] up top. yeah we're good

[19:07:39] so yeah we're gonna make sure to explain a lot of the co-op exclusive stuff

[19:07:43] that you wouldn't see normally but like we're not here to tell you exactly how the Halo 3 run works.

[19:07:47] That's been done before we were here because it's two guys,

[19:07:50] two brides having a really good time.

[19:07:52] So often when we run this game

[19:07:54] it feels just playing some Halo with the homies

[19:07:57] when he got out of school back in 2008 It feels like just playing some Halo with the homies

[19:07:57] when he got out of school back in 2008.

[19:08:00] So it's been a great, really good time.

[19:08:02] Vibes?

[19:08:03] Vibes.

[19:08:03] Hang on.

[19:08:04] Hold.

[19:08:07] That should be good. Vibes?

[19:08:09] Oh, God bless!

[19:08:11] We skip a little bit of

[19:08:13] cutscene right there called the Cortana moment where we would

[19:08:15] slow down a bunch so yeah that's

[19:08:17] pure vibe check right there and yeah the vibes are good which

[19:08:19] vibes were very good very on point and i you know something we haven't really talked about yet uh

[19:08:26] adaf your fat drumstick yeah okay I'll talk about this now

[19:08:30] I was gonna save

[19:08:32] this for later but

[19:08:34] I'll talk about this now

[19:08:36] When I was a wee little 10 year old

[19:08:38] boy I made an Xbox 360

[19:08:41] gamer tag, and that was Fat Drumstick.

[19:08:44] Fun fact! If you make

[19:08:45] a Microsoft account, that

[19:08:47] stays.

[19:08:49] But you know what?

[19:08:51] Honestly, like honest to God there is something delightful about like 15 years ago I was playing

[19:08:57] this game with my friends as Fat Drumstick and now 15 years later I'm playing this game with my friends as Fat Drumstick and unironically

[19:09:05] I thought about that half an hour ago and almost cried!

[19:09:09] By the way rock beam, beam on the rocks.

[19:09:11] Okay that's you Aiden. i'll take the extra yeah and

[19:09:14] you know what's really great okay actually i'm gonna let nervy cook here

[19:09:17] for a second because we're not going to go i gotta cook here so this is a gap

[19:09:20] jump i'm essentially gonna combine a nade boost with

[19:09:24] a slide jumps, get to the other end here early

[19:09:26] combined with a bubble just for some safety.

[19:09:29] Nicely done Nervy.

[19:09:30] And I'm essentially just trying to get out of

[19:09:31] here as fast as I can.

[19:09:33] We got probably the scariest part

[19:09:34] of the first level.

[19:09:34] Yeah, this next clear is really difficult

[19:09:36] and we're just going to kind of be walking in here.

[19:09:38] Delaying a checkpoint?

[19:09:39] You can really watch any of our perspectives here

[19:09:41] and we're all going to be doing something wild and different.

[19:09:43] Yeah, we all have unique roles in this yes

[19:09:45] really good check nice checkpoint that's important on legendary

[19:09:51] beams are dead beams are dead yeah uh brood is dead awesome bridge is clear

[19:09:59] so i'm gonna do a little bit of a sequence break to get to the other end

[19:10:04] don't do it oh okay nervy died that's you chrono too yeah it's on kronos yep so this

[19:10:10] is one of the cool things about legendaries that we have contingency plans uh by having

[19:10:14] a second player go for something we can kind of back up just by virtue of having multiple

[19:10:19] attempts yeah and like it's just this run is backups on backup as you might expect when

[19:10:25] you have four people you have a lot of options for a

[19:10:27] backup which is pretty nice as it turns out i made it then okay good job uh chief ends up here

[19:10:35] oh i see him yeah yes i I saw them hammers up.

[19:10:38] Grab it, grab it.

[19:10:40] And we need that hammer to do

[19:10:42] something pretty cool and he's going to

[19:10:44] Brother, hand me the hammer!

[19:10:47] He's going to Fedex that straight to uh

[19:10:48] straight to nervy you get it yeah on the other side of the bridge

[19:10:53] nope go ahead and just kill me okay

[19:10:57] oh you're going to see a lot of that.

[19:10:59] Kill me Master Chief! My hammer's all yours!

[19:11:03] We're going to be killing each other a lot in this run as it turns out.

[19:11:07] Okay I'm clear on the side. So I don't know about the rest of you all but I mean

[19:11:10] I did my job perfectly.

[19:11:14] Clota should be hit I think.

[19:11:16] Check out Nervy's screen here

[19:11:18] if you've seen Halo 3 run you know what's coming. This is one of my favorite little launches

[19:11:21] at the start here. This is called Early Pelican

[19:11:23] Board. I can look at Nervy screens

[19:11:25] Oh! I never get to watch Nervy

[19:11:27] Yeah we've been playing online this whole time

[19:11:29] and so to do this in person

[19:11:30] The off latency

[19:11:32] is coming. So I'm going to combine a nade jump

[19:11:34] with a hammer boost

[19:11:36] to get into... Yes!

[19:11:38] That's my goat!

[19:11:42] Throne us. That's my goat! Kronos. Best bump, best bump?

[19:11:46] And that's Sierra.

[19:11:48] That was easy sub six.

[19:11:50] Very cool. Alright and here we go on to crows i would say

[19:11:53] we have time for a quick donation before we really get into this first just updating that

[19:11:57] you're at 3 526 dollars on the multiplayer showcase let's keep that rolling we you do not want to know we

[19:12:06] did all that practice and crap to each other if you want to see four friends

[19:12:13] turn immortal enemies trust me once to make that. If you want to see four friends turn into mortal enemies,

[19:12:14] trust me,

[19:12:14] you want to see it.

[19:12:15] We do have some love

[19:12:17] quickly if you'd like

[19:12:17] to hear it as well.

[19:12:18] Yeah, please.

[19:12:19] We have $50

[19:12:19] from Nicholas and Jack

[19:12:21] who say,

[19:12:21] wow,

[19:12:22] ADF clutching up

[19:12:23] with the bros

[19:12:24] playing Halo?

[19:12:25] Can't believe I've lived long enough to see my youngest brother become my high school

[19:12:28] bully.

[19:12:29] Donation vote for the 2v2 showcase." That's a wild way to get that.

[19:12:39] That is an incredible donation.

[19:12:41] My brother texted me before the run and said,

[19:12:43] I don't think the donation people are gonna like my donation.

[19:12:48] Oh that is awesome. Wonderful thank you boys

[19:12:51] Thank you for watching much love. Look I know your going to call me needy

[19:12:54] but i gotta get some nades. Yeah, yeah

[19:12:56] I'm fully stocks. Oh, i'm fully stocked kill me brother. All right. Thank you

[19:13:01] Thank you for the cause. Yeah, I died for the cause

[19:13:04] There's a lot of that. I mean, that's kind of the name of the game.

[19:13:07] Do you have plasmas Brian?

[19:13:08] Yeah, I got one.

[19:13:09] I'll be good to go.

[19:13:10] So we've got a big wave fight coming up here and this is going

[19:13:13] to be pretty big divergence from the solo route.

[19:13:16] Nerby is gonna get in a specific spot,

[19:13:17] we're gonna do kind of like death abuse.

[19:13:20] You'll see what happens!

[19:13:22] I just activated coordinates using the controller

[19:13:24] Just hold down some buttons for a second

[19:13:26] It's actually built into the game i don't know if

[19:13:28] they just forgot to take it out or get some tension i'm gonna line up in a very solid

[19:13:37] okay yeah that guy like is invincible I guess. I am in position

[19:13:39] Okay so Brian and I are going to die at the same time

[19:13:42] And some silliness is going to happen

[19:13:43] We're going to the predetermined death location

[19:13:46] Right here. We love dying right here

[19:13:47] It's so nice

[19:13:48] Alright. Let's hope it works Meanwhile We love dying right here, it's so good.

[19:13:51] Alright. Let's hope it works! Meanwhile I will be...

[19:13:53] You got a melee but...

[19:13:56] You're being combat in this episode.

[19:13:57] We have a lot of time for this so it's kinda chill.

[19:13:59] I'm gonna bry you ready

[19:14:00] yep go okay that's a spike it worked nice i spawned on three one there we go and through. Nice.

[19:14:14] He'll nerf it through the door,

[19:14:16] and he's gonna spawn now.

[19:14:17] He was going to kill me!

[19:14:18] Boy we just kill each other all the time.

[19:14:21] Honestly I'm starting to wonder if we actually are friends.

[19:14:24] So Kronos has the toughest job here.

[19:14:26] He's got a basically solo-to-hanger fight.

[19:14:28] It is as Nervy loves to say

[19:14:30] The freest quota in the game!

[19:14:34] Yeah so he has a lot of time

[19:14:36] to get this done.

[19:14:37] The goal for Kronos is just stay alive and-

[19:14:39] Marine please!

[19:14:41] Oh I can watch Kronos?

[19:14:42] And not be killed by hisos. Yeah, you're gonna

[19:14:44] watch Chronos to screen cause...

[19:14:46] Oh my gosh!

[19:14:50] The Marine is scaring me

[19:14:52] he's throwing like every single frag grenade.

[19:14:54] When the AI in this game decides to throw a grenade,

[19:14:57] it is their only decision for the next five minutes.

[19:14:59] Okay we should be good.

[19:15:00] Cool so basically what we've done

[19:15:02] is we're all set up to hit successive triggers.

[19:15:05] Yeah, we are standing in certain places so that when Kronos clears the fight

[19:15:08] The next trigger bumps to Frye then immediately to me and then immediately to Nervi

[19:15:12] And now Nervi's going to do a backwards deployable cover launch where it's basically,

[19:15:17] you think about like shaking up a can of soda.

[19:15:19] I can't believe that it made that motion on camera.

[19:15:21] It's like shaking up a can of soda and...

[19:15:23] I need to re-try again.

[19:15:25] You're good. I totally just hook you with that.

[19:15:26] It's like shaking up a can of soda,

[19:15:28] and then wait for the pressure to build

[19:15:29] and then boop!

[19:15:31] Nice.

[19:15:33] And unfortunately...

[19:15:34] Airbag.

[19:15:35] ...I was the airbag there. Thank you for being, Airbag.

[19:15:36] I was the airbag there.

[19:15:37] Thank you for being my airbag!

[19:15:38] If anybody wants to keep track of how many times Brian and I have to die for the cause...

[19:15:43] Nobody is more dedicated to the UNSC than these two elites.

[19:15:49] Alright, but the firing squad actually i hate that though

[19:15:58] say go in fire it wasn't go but that's fine you know know what? It worked. 55. Oh, that's

[19:16:00] the marathon look right there.

[19:16:02] So the weapons can have different ammo when you

[19:16:04] pick them up. Yeah, anywhere between 50

[19:16:06] and 90 is actually one of the worst watch nervy screen right here

[19:16:09] this is the first graph called upon you're gonna serve oh chronos try it we're good hang on

[19:16:18] oh okay that was kind of cool almost.

[19:16:20] I'm surprised they didn't die there obviously.

[19:16:22] One of my favorite things about this run is getting to watch all these tricks from third person.

[19:16:25] It's super sick.

[19:16:26] That's ok we got another very cool launch here.

[19:16:28] A rather famous one you actually don't need to clear out the barracks

[19:16:30] Alright Ada you know what to do

[19:16:32] Get on the forklift

[19:16:34] I'm getting on the forklift sir

[19:16:36] Thank you sir

[19:16:38] Dudes will see this and think hell yeah.

[19:16:44] I'm gonna activate this elevator we do need to hit a specific trigger...

[19:16:48] That's okay. Are we good?

[19:16:50] As long as we don't softlock there. I think We just have to check one more time.

[19:16:52] I think we just have to check one further down the elevator

[19:16:54] Yeah, that should be okay.

[19:16:56] We might get another one actually, let's see

[19:16:58] Better early than late

[19:17:05] Alright, we got the voice line yeah we're good

[19:17:14] all right so pretty complicated fight coming up here we're gonna i'm gonna do another minute to get thrown through the store here i'm not the door go that's it that sounds

[19:17:19] like mine were good i was like that was scary

[19:17:31] oh wait nervy went through can you kill me okay thank you okay here we go this is improv have we killed everybody yet

[19:17:33] yep we're good we gotta go up Okay, here we go. This is improv that we have we killed everybody yet?

[19:17:37] We gotta go up

[19:17:44] That's not everybody. I'm probably going to be de-spotted.

[19:17:46] I will let you know when I am good.

[19:17:48] I might be able to get the hammer actually.

[19:17:49] Good recovery!

[19:17:50] Not too far forward yet Kronos.

[19:17:53] Everything just deloaded on my end.

[19:17:54] I don't know if that is universal.

[19:17:56] Yeah, hold on! Alright go ahead.

[19:17:59] This is a backup. That's why we got backups.

[19:18:02] Ledge is all about backups. You need backups for your backups, even.

[19:18:06] And for those backups as well.

[19:18:08] Okay let's move forward and uh...

[19:18:10] Yeah we're gonna help you over here by just full clearing this hallway.

[19:18:14] Should be good.

[19:18:19] I got spikes. I have fuzz mace. should it be good i do have a spike okay cool so i did pick up a camo specifically for this section and try to be careful here

[19:18:24] i'd still want like you just look at the scenery screen yeah there's a bunch of sniper jackals

[19:18:29] everyone's favorite they can just one-shot me so you really want a camo there

[19:18:34] okay so here two players are gonna go for the bomb that's mean chronos and the other

[19:18:36] two are going to progress and then nervy is going to go for one of the hardest tricks in Halo.

[19:18:40] Yes... I'm... we'll see what happens.

[19:18:43] Yeah dude! We got this.

[19:18:45] That did it chief! Cool. Woo!

[19:18:52] Well, I am in position......I'm just gonna die.

[19:18:53] Yeah.

[19:18:58] You may go.

[19:18:58] Yep. It's looking bad.

[19:19:02] Dang it!

[19:19:04] Good try, good try, good try.

[19:19:06] So what I was trying to do

[19:19:08] was essentially clip through that wall and go all the way

[19:19:11] to another Cortana moment at the other end, but...

[19:19:13] It is literally so hard.

[19:19:15] It's ridiculous.

[19:19:16] Pretty nice that you could just have somebody

[19:19:17] go forward in Koala.

[19:19:18] Yeah for sure.

[19:19:19] So we're almost at the end of Crows here and

[19:19:21] feeling pretty good so far! How's the crowd feeling so far? How are we liking this?

[19:19:25] Oh my god! Wow!

[19:19:29] Okay I'm not gonna lie, didn't expect that response as well.

[19:19:33] Um...I have a frag for you, Adep.

[19:19:35] So in a delightful change of pace,

[19:19:38] I get to do the killing which is just so exciting for me.

[19:19:41] Thank you!

[19:19:41] Am I the furthest ahead?

[19:19:43] Yes, you are.

[19:19:44] Oh, you have a DC?

[19:19:47] That's why I wanted to do the DC launch!

[19:19:50] I believe in you.

[19:19:51] I got out of your way.

[19:19:53] So, I would say

[19:19:55] Lana this is the best chance for some

[19:19:57] big time donations

[19:19:59] Let's get some big-time donations alright

[19:20:01] so just want to shoutout that we are over $5,000 towards our 2v2 multiplayer showcase 10% of the way folks. Let's keep going and part of what got us there yeah exactly was 150 from visuals who says shout out

[19:20:17] from team pipe it up and us on the back couch we're all rooting for you

[19:20:21] and know you're gonna crush it please put this donation towards the Halo 2v2 so

[19:20:25] we can watch this team tear

[19:20:27] each other apart.

[19:20:29] By the way, did someone say

[19:20:30] haloruns.com?

[19:20:32] Thanks so much.

[19:20:35] Would you like some more?

[19:20:36] Yeah, one more. Okay, for sure.

[19:20:38] We also have $50 from

[19:20:40] Shift who says second dono to

[19:20:42] say Nervy is the goat.

[19:20:44] May Kronos please not kill too many Marines, and I'm

[19:20:47] so excited to see the one and

[19:20:48] only Fat Drumstick.

[19:20:52] Thanks, Chip.

[19:20:52] Shout out, Chip. That's one of my screen homies.

[19:20:54] Love that guy.

[19:20:56] One more quick one?

[19:20:58] For sure we have $25 from Sapphire in Pink who says

[19:21:01] Lots of love from the back couch! Wouldn't miss primetime Halo 3 for the world less than three

[19:21:08] Thank you Sapphire thank you everybody all right so here we are onto savo

[19:21:12] highway very very iconic cable 3 speeder level

[19:21:16] gonna be a lot of driving.

[19:21:19] Also,

[19:21:22] Loki

[19:21:22] we get a chance to race each other a little bit here

[19:21:24] which is always nice.

[19:21:26] Give me a boost.

[19:21:33] So these Warthogs they have the slowest acceleration but the fastest top speed so it's like a high risk high reward type endeavor the better you drive and maintain

[19:21:36] that top speed there you go nervy lo Nervy low-key has to be

[19:21:40] careful not to let Kronos get in the lead, because if

[19:21:42] Kronos at any point gets the chance to

[19:21:43] be the Master Chief, he will

[19:21:45] grab that opportunity

[19:21:47] and not let it go.

[19:21:50] That's my gravity hammer, that's

[19:21:51] my DC, that's my warthog.

[19:21:53] I'm going ahead, do you want to

[19:21:54] see me spawn?

[19:21:55] Yeah.

[19:21:55] If there is an agent of chaos in

[19:21:57] this run, it is Cronus.

[19:21:58] It is definitely Cronus.

[19:22:01] So then, DC. this run it is chronic it is definitely

[19:22:07] decent enough yeah no that's fine and the reason that all three of us get in uh nervous warhawk the reason we stack up

[19:22:09] the water hogs is because if you have more people in

[19:22:11] where hot you can soak up more damage so it's a it's both fast and safe

[19:22:17] and on ledge like having an empty hog as a death sentence, especially at this next part.

[19:22:23] Which can be kinda scary...

[19:22:27] Good

[19:22:29] It's already scary

[19:22:31] Oh wow!

[19:22:32] It was very scary.

[19:22:33] I'm red bar.

[19:22:34] Oh, Nervy's dead.

[19:22:35] Kronos, Skidachief go!

[19:22:37] Let's go!

[19:22:39] We're fine.

[19:22:40] They're all good here.

[19:22:41] And we have a backup hog that will actually spawn.

[19:22:43] Everyone gather up!

[19:22:46] You gotta lure him in.

[19:22:47] That's on me, that's on me.

[19:22:50] My bad my bad.

[19:22:52] I'm grabbing the grav lift here.

[19:22:53] We'll hit the draft lift here. Yes, heard her.

[19:22:54] And we will get the backup pod.

[19:22:56] Oh, we don't get to do that?

[19:22:57] Oh my god! We don't get a save 10 minutes!

[19:22:58] We don't get to save 10 minutes!

[19:22:59] Guys this is so cringe.

[19:23:00] This is so sad.

[19:23:06] You good up there, Kronos?

[19:23:07] I'll just throw the nade from here.

[19:23:09] Just throw it at Kronos.

[19:23:13] $10,000 donation and I kill Kronos right now.

[19:23:15] I actually want people to hit Kronos from here. Really? Yeah, I want to be able to hit Chronos from here. Really?

[19:23:16] Yeah, I don't know if Stevie can do it.

[19:23:18] Oh my god!

[19:23:21] Sick wheelie!

[19:23:23] Dude that was actually pretty cool.

[19:23:25] I actually caught up a little bit though. Can you do that again? Yeah, that was actually pretty cool.

[19:23:25] I actually caught up a little bit.

[19:23:26] Can you do it again?

[19:23:27] Yeah!

[19:23:28] No but actually not just that we actually...

[19:23:31] And Grav is giving you the grab lift.

[19:23:34] She did good.

[19:23:39] That's teamwork baby

[19:23:43] what an easy to please craft we literally

[19:23:51] so we're gonna go through this little tube because there's a bunch of brutes with brute shots and it's comedy but in the wrong way.

[19:23:53] Oh, okay.

[19:23:55] Case in point.

[19:23:57] Yeah you know I'm not gonna to make any comments about how this Sovohazard hasn't gone until the end

[19:24:02] There's things that I want to say but if I speak any of them into existence surely it will curse us never you can turn

[19:24:10] cords off if you want by the way i don't know if you use them

[19:24:12] i could turn them up actually once they're on really yeah

[19:24:15] wow how fun is that it's it's a blast i can't believe you just backseat games the master well i just thought maybe

[19:24:20] you know we're all we're in the zone we're locked in we're gaming with fat drumstick

[19:24:24] you know who knows oh beth i am plugged into the matrix right now

[19:24:30] so this is all oh okay okay this is just literally all like adef

[19:24:34] sorry nervy and crotus here adaf and i literally just do

[19:24:37] we have never been helpful in this side. Oh, I got a great shot!

[19:24:43] No pressure.

[19:24:45] You've got this. I'm gonna eventually drive up this hill.

[19:24:49] So to end this level all you have to do is kill that turret and that barricade then move far enough forward.

[19:24:54] All those enemies there that are scary doesn't actually matter.

[19:24:57] Nice!

[19:24:58] That's why you're the GOAT. Hey.

[19:25:05] Can we do that after pros? I don't know, but we can get a donation here probably.

[19:25:07] Yeah, let's get a couple.

[19:25:08] Ooh! Let's do it.

[19:25:10] So we are already over $6000 towards our 2v2 multiplayer showcase going up steadily. Great work everyone!

[19:25:17] So our first donation is $50 from Viz who says

[19:25:20] Hey Adaf, Bry, Chronos and Nervy, it's been an absolute pleasure seeing y'all practice for

[19:25:25] this run rocket with that stellar commentary and gameplay that i'm so used to seeing

[19:25:30] and they sure are thank you you so much, man.

[19:25:33] Love you.

[19:25:34] We also have $150 from Adeph's family who say we're so proud of you even though we're not a first-person shooter family.

[19:25:42] Good luck, have fun.

[19:25:43] We love you. Damn, my whole ass family. Good luck, have fun we love you

[19:25:45] Damn my whole ass family

[19:25:46] it's like we love you

[19:25:49] your garbage

[19:25:49] Love you too guys

[19:25:53] Sad I couldn't be there with all of you

[19:25:54] There's like a little watch party with my family

[19:25:57] Oh, that's so cool! Hello Adepts Family

[19:26:01] I wonder what things I could say about your family has no idea

[19:26:06] You get to learn

[19:26:07] a lot about a guy over there, you know?

[19:26:08] Halo 3 co-op tells you a lot about somebody.

[19:26:11] It really does.

[19:26:13] Alright, so we're onto

[19:26:14] the storm here. This is a super combat heavy level and

[19:26:18] We are going to be having to meet a lot of various kill quotas in order to advance the mission

[19:26:23] And they are not the freest quotas

[19:26:26] Looking pretty good so far though.

[19:26:28] Don't kill me!

[19:26:32] I just got

[19:26:34] was able to get him but...

[19:26:36] Heard that.

[19:26:37] Thank god, I didn't want to touch that thing.

[19:26:39] Go ahead.

[19:26:41] Just keep it all the way through.

[19:26:44] Got it.

[19:26:49] Oh we got... Nice! Oh, look out. Nice. Okay cool wow I can't believe-

[19:26:53] Okay now this is the scariest part of the whole level really. This might be the scariest

[19:26:57] part of the whole run.

[19:26:59] These marines will not hesitate to fire their rockets directly at...

[19:27:04] They are determined- Oh my god, what are they doing? We're chillin'?

[19:27:08] Okay I'm so far back.

[19:27:10] Okay, I'm so far back. Okay, I'm dead.

[19:27:14] Uh...I'm gonna spawn in the lake bed.

[19:27:16] I might still be able to get something.

[19:27:18] That my whole life just flashed before my eyes. Three marines

[19:27:21] just shot a rocket and some-

[19:27:23] What just happened?

[19:27:27] Marine kind of thing

[19:27:32] Both choppers are alive I'm only going to get to the Wraith

[19:27:34] in a second.

[19:27:36] This is not good. The chopper just killed me.

[19:27:40] The Marines got him probably!

[19:27:41] Wraith is down.

[19:27:43] What's hitting me? Oh, ghosts are alive far side?

[19:27:45] Yeah. Oh I'm dead.

[19:27:47] Stay alive? No no!

[19:27:49] It's just you. You should spawn on me.

[19:27:53] We're good we're good we're good we're good hi this is legendary that's how quickly

[19:27:59] that's how quickly unwrapped sometimes you truly just need somebody to like, hide.

[19:28:03] Yeah.

[19:28:05] I'll try out the Wraith.

[19:28:08] Ghost E flip so I think you still have to kill it real quick.

[19:28:10] There's one Chopper...

[19:28:13] Wait, that Wraith never died? Yeah, I'm getting

[19:28:15] that right now. That's wild. I got him. Okay.

[19:28:17] Okay, next wave. Yep.

[19:28:18] Somehow.

[19:28:20] I don't think I'll be able to kill it. I'll try. So Storm

[19:28:22] has a rather famous coffee pasta. Oh got it for this okay we have the phantom

[19:28:28] stem both phantoms are done i think that might have been i mean i'm not gonna say it was my

[19:28:32] fault but i stood in the wrong place i stood in the wrong place wow dude this guy died

[19:28:37] please hold on is that there's still yeah we did a little somebody pick up my grab list

[19:28:43] this brand is actually just one v1 i don't have to grab lift no This grunt is actually just 1v1ing.

[19:28:46] I don't have the grablift, no.

[19:28:48] Someone had the grablift...

[19:28:50] There's the dialogue.

[19:28:55] The grablift might be on my X up there?

[19:28:57] Well, good luck.

[19:28:57] I need a monk.

[19:28:58] We don't have a load skill by the way.

[19:29:00] Oh wait really?

[19:29:01] I don't think so.

[19:29:02] No we got the dialogue.

[19:29:02] Yeah we got the dialogue and the loads.

[19:29:05] I mix the two up constantly.

[19:29:07] Yeah, where did the war-

[19:29:08] Do we not have-

[19:29:09] Okay, Nervy has a monster.

[19:29:11] That one's gonna be scary.

[19:29:13] I don't have a Gravelift so this'll be fine.

[19:29:15] So we're going to be killing the hunters?

[19:29:17] Checkpoint by the way.

[19:29:18] We'll see what happens.

[19:29:20] I love how quickly this just evolved into complete

[19:29:22] another chaos.

[19:29:26] This is really the only way it can go though.

[19:29:30] Oh, the scarabs spawn by the way.

[19:29:33] Yeah, Nervy's...

[19:29:34] I am through!

[19:29:35] Okay, nice!

[19:29:36] We're good?

[19:29:37] Woo!

[19:29:41] So you don't actually need to fight that Scarab.

[19:29:44] You can just sort of line up the mongers like that and well, just skip it.

[19:29:48] Anyway, so this next segment is going to be... Much harder now.

[19:29:49] Interesting? Yeah, I'm

[19:29:50] definitely a little nervous at this juncture

[19:29:54] As long as we just

[19:29:56] follow me, I have a plan.

[19:29:58] I want everyone to support the chief.

[19:30:01] Do you wanna share your plan with the rest of your team?

[19:30:04] Okay, well the plan was die.

[19:30:07] It's all going according to plan.

[19:30:08] Oh! There is a...

[19:30:09] Oh, I'm dead.

[19:30:10] Am I last alive? No, you're two. Oh, there was a... I'm dead.

[19:30:11] Am I last alive?

[19:30:12] No you're two up.

[19:30:13] So there is a little house that we can go into that has a sniper.

[19:30:15] That's a human, my bad.

[19:30:18] One marine dead?

[19:30:19] Yeah.

[19:30:20] I think you killed everything except the birds.

[19:30:23] What can I say?

[19:30:27] Nice.

[19:30:28] All right, so do you see

[19:30:29] the house on the left side

[19:30:30] that almost is going towards?

[19:30:32] Yeah, don't follow me. Go to the house on the left side.

[19:30:35] Go to the house! I have a bubble shield if that helps us at all by the way

[19:30:37] Oh god these hunters are going crazy

[19:30:41] Yeah normally with the strat we would would completely deload these guys.

[19:30:45] Oh, we have two snipers here that's good.

[19:30:47] Yeah so I figured this will be good.

[19:30:49] Oh, it's not bubble shield?

[19:30:53] Get the hammer! get the hammer!

[19:30:53] I hear you.

[19:30:54] I got it, I got it, I got it.

[19:30:56] I have a sniper though.

[19:30:57] Okay find a carbine.

[19:30:58] There's one right here.

[19:30:59] I got it, I got it, we're good.

[19:31:01] So we need Bri to have a specific loadout

[19:31:03] To carry that hammer through To the next level because got it we're good we're good so we need bry to have a specific loadout

[19:31:04] to carry that hammer through the next level because

[19:31:07] i will make things fast i can boost you uh there's a bru oh let's kill him

[19:31:13] and then yes.

[19:31:15] Thank you.

[19:31:18] Jump! Hold on, okay.

[19:31:21] Yeah your timing right here. So you're supposed to go to this AA cannon

[19:31:24] all the way around,

[19:31:25] but you can actually shoot it from here with good shots.

[19:31:28] Just like that!

[19:31:29] Nice.

[19:31:30] OK.

[19:31:31] We did it.

[19:31:34] We're alive out of the storm.

[19:31:37] We were fighting for our life there a little bit. Yeah, that was definitely...that

[19:31:41] was a storm. That was a storm of all time. Truly. Alright! Fun level though, Floodgate.

[19:31:45] Super movement based and uh... You should have the hammer.

[19:31:48] I have the hammer, let's go!

[19:31:50] So we're going to do a combination of

[19:31:52] crouch and then jump out

[19:31:54] of the crouch to do a slide

[19:31:56] and then we get the hammer from Bri

[19:31:58] for bonus distance.

[19:32:03] Nice. Should be good. Cool.

[19:32:04] And this level is largely Nervy.

[19:32:07] I'm going to direct your attention to nervi's screen for basically this

[19:32:09] entire level yep yeah we're kind of uh you kind of just don't do anything here it's just gonna

[19:32:17] be a bunch of hammer launches it's probably one

[19:32:19] of my favorite levels in the game so cool solo yeah i guess that's good to watch your screen

[19:32:24] oh yeah true

[19:32:27] just boosting nerdy fries Prius? Yep.

[19:32:30] Here's a cone launch, these cones are

[19:32:32] a little funny.

[19:32:34] Uh oh, uh oh, get away from me!

[19:32:36] We're good. Thank you.

[19:32:38] Boost me! oh I just

[19:32:40] trist flop weapon

[19:32:41] my bad

[19:32:41] and I would say

[19:32:49] we have time for

[19:32:50] like one donation while we set up for this next big trick.

[19:32:53] For sure, shouting out that we have over $7000 towards the 50 thousand we need

[19:32:57] for our 2v2 multiplayer showcase so keep those coming!

[19:33:00] Keep them coming, we want to make that happen!

[19:33:04] We also have $50 from The Income Taxes who says

[19:33:07] So happy for this crew showing off the co-op side of this run

[19:33:11] Good luck and remember to visit haloruns.com for all your halo needs

[19:33:17] so this is a forwards dc launch

[19:33:28] nice yeah baby first try that's my goat right there that's why nervy is the goatee oh it's so satisfying i love that trick

[19:33:33] yeah i can't believe you said that first try by the way.

[19:33:35] That was pretty sick.

[19:33:38] Very... it's really weird those DCs obviously

[19:33:43] You're not meant to go that far so it's like weird. Those DCs, obviously you're not meant to go that

[19:33:45] far so it's a little finicky sometimes

[19:33:47] but I'm really happy that worked out.

[19:33:49] Now we got my favorite trick coming up.

[19:33:51] Here comes the pizza baby.

[19:33:54] So this section,

[19:33:56] Nervy's got the pizza launch

[19:33:58] Kronos is going for a backup

[19:34:00] DC launch and then Bry and I are pushing forward

[19:34:02] just in case. Oh joke's on you

[19:34:04] I'm watching Nervy do this.

[19:34:05] Okay, I'm pushing forward...

[19:34:06] Nice!

[19:34:08] Don't kill me!

[19:34:09] Go go go!

[19:34:11] Let's go!

[19:34:13] Let's go Nervy.

[19:34:14] So I combined a hammer launch with essentially an equipment jump.

[19:34:17] So I threw down...

[19:34:18] We call it a pizza, but it's really like a trip mine.

[19:34:21] And we jump off of it in midair

[19:34:22] to kind of keep that momentum going with the height.

[19:34:26] So Nervy is going to do another slide jump and a hammer launch, or a hammer boost I should say

[19:34:31] To the end of the level

[19:34:33] And we will be through to

[19:34:35] The back half of the game which is

[19:34:37] As Halo runners love to say

[19:34:38] where this run really starts.

[19:34:40] Who hit me?

[19:34:42] Nobody hit you.

[19:34:44] So I'm going to try and end this level before

[19:34:46] this moment ends by doing some boosts over here to hit the final button.

[19:34:49] And that's Bloodgate. Nice!

[19:34:53] Boys? And we got time for

[19:34:57] probably one donation as we get to the next level.

[19:35:00] For sure! So, we have

[19:35:02] $250 from Zed F who says

[19:35:04] Halo 3 with The Boys made

[19:35:06] for some of my favorite memories

[19:35:08] Loving the good vibes on this run.

[19:35:10] Put this towards the multiplayer showcase.

[19:35:12] Thanks so much for supporting that.

[19:35:14] We love to see it.

[19:35:15] All right, so yeah, Ark, if what you saw

[19:35:18] so far you thought man, that looked kind of hard

[19:35:19] me and my boys back home 2007 we

[19:35:22] couldn't do that in four hours well this is where the run goes um dare i say insane omo

[19:35:28] it's this is really where the run begins.

[19:35:31] Yeah, every single level from here on out

[19:35:33] is going to be considerably longer than anything we've played so far

[19:35:36] and we're gonna have a lot more diverse roles

[19:35:38] and different things that we're doing.

[19:35:39] I'm slow by the way.

[19:35:41] Oh wow! Oh! that we're doing i'm slow by the way oh wow

[19:35:52] okay if anything there at the brew shots right Oh, no. I'm gonna die Just go! I'm trying

[19:35:53] Okay if anything... There the Brute Shot's right there

[19:35:55] Alright, I didn't need a sniper as well so I'm going to try and hopefully just sneak fire

[19:36:00] I'm also going back for the beam rifle that I lost.

[19:36:04] I killed the Jackal, maybe too early. Oh my goodness!

[19:36:06] I almost died. Boys what's going on back there?

[19:36:08] We're good! Uh don't you worry your pretty little face

[19:36:10] I'm not worrying my pretty little face

[19:36:12] I'm not. Co-op strats by the way, Naby.

[19:36:14] We've got a cool little spawn thing

[19:36:16] stuff... you'll see!

[19:36:18] It's a thing.

[19:36:20] You gotta act right.

[19:36:24] And this is our birthday party right here.

[19:36:27] Nice. Okay.

[19:36:29] This is where the level...

[19:36:31] This is where...

[19:36:33] This is where i become frightened

[19:36:37] yeah we're all gonna take uh different roles here

[19:36:40] gonna get in a bunch of different vehicles and there's a lot of combat

[19:36:43] coming up

[19:36:46] nice good, good job, good job, good job.

[19:36:50] Okay! These grunts are

[19:36:52] freaking out.

[19:36:54] No Russian or anything but your Uber's here.

[19:36:56] Oh thank you. Thank you. How much for the fare?

[19:36:59] Uh how about uh

[19:37:02] whatever it is like $36000

[19:37:05] left to get the or whatever it is for the... You can just pay that.

[19:37:09] Yeah we got $42,661

[19:37:11] We got you.

[19:37:14] I got about $20 in my pocket

[19:37:16] Is that enough? Oh yeah.

[19:37:18] Okay, I'm good! Go go go go!

[19:37:19] Um...I wanna try something else-

[19:37:20] It's good we're going!

[19:37:21] I want to try something new here

[19:37:22] when you get down into like the basin tell me to die

[19:37:25] cause' I just like oh I

[19:37:26] okay yeah

[19:37:27] Anyway

[19:37:29] Oh chronos first?

[19:37:30] Yep.

[19:37:33] So we need to do this in a particular way

[19:37:35] to avoid getting extra spawns.

[19:37:37] Wow, they are going after it.

[19:37:39] Yeah I'm almost dead.

[19:37:40] So we need to go up this hill like this, it's gonna skip a whole bunch of spawn triggers which is gonna make this next section a hell of a lot easier.

[19:37:46] Chronos no!

[19:37:48] You're good.

[19:37:49] No! No! Nooo. You're good. And noooo! Oh, that's enough ironclad stuff.

[19:37:51] NOOOOO!

[19:37:52] Die?

[19:37:53] Okayyyy... Kronos I swear to god.

[19:37:59] Alright watch out, I'm weaving in.

[19:38:01] Good comms!

[19:38:05] Okay most everything over there should be dead Kronos?

[19:38:09] Wraith is pulling away and dodging me we're good nice

[19:38:15] i'm gonna take this warthog and put it in a very specific spot and you will see that

[19:38:19] coming to play a little bit later. Come along, ghost!

[19:38:22] Yeah, he's right here. First one...

[19:38:25] Oh no.

[19:38:26] We're good. No we're not.

[19:38:29] I'll melee real quick.

[19:38:31] The reason that we melee is to prevent

[19:38:33] teammates from spawning on us.

[19:38:35] He's coming back around, oh no!

[19:38:39] I have the left Wraith.

[19:38:43] Nice recovery there. i have to left right

[19:38:51] okay nice recovery good stuff fellas yeah i'll talk for that platform my co-op unit. I love my boys! I love my boys!

[19:38:56] What can I say?

[19:38:57] I'm just a proud mom,

[19:38:58] I love my boys.

[19:39:02] Alright.

[19:39:03] Okay. Alrighty right. Huh? Did you say something? No. Okay.

[19:39:10] So I need to get a specific ghost here, specifically the one that either Adepts or mine I need to have here in specifically the one that either Adephs or mine I need to have

[19:39:15] here in order for a funny little trick here.

[19:39:18] So long as it wasn't the one that was upside down you should be fine.

[19:39:20] Oh!

[19:39:22] Okay we have a backup.

[19:39:24] Yeah we need to die at this specific time.

[19:39:25] Tell us when to die.

[19:39:27] Die!

[19:39:29] This will be really interesting doing this back up here I'm not gonna lie.

[19:39:33] What was the plan again?

[19:39:34] We go for the choppers?

[19:39:36] You take the chopper i'm gonna i don't know i'll take the chopper uh

[19:39:40] somebody i think chronos takes the chopper and then

[19:39:42] we killed these two chapters it's been a while since we did this

[19:39:45] since we've had to do this in awhile.

[19:39:48] Come here buddy!

[19:39:50] Oh! They killed each other!

[19:39:52] Let's go!

[19:39:54] That is insane.

[19:39:56] That has never happened before!

[19:39:58] I'd like to say that was calculated by fading one over, but that would be a 4000 IQ play.

[19:40:05] That actually just saved us so much time.

[19:40:08] Are the ghosts dead, Kronos?

[19:40:10] Yeah...

[19:40:11] Oh nice!

[19:40:12] Okay, it's just the wraith?

[19:40:13] Hi, Wraith.

[19:40:14] Okay yes, make a decision, Wraith.

[19:40:17] The dead?

[19:40:18] Cool. Wow. we should be clear.

[19:40:20] We take those.

[19:40:22] 100% take those.

[19:40:24] Okay, sick!

[19:40:28] I have a power drain for you. Okay, cool. So we'll do it after

[19:40:30] this. Um, so to

[19:40:32] explain what happened there

[19:40:34] basically Bride parked

[19:40:37] a Warthog in the specific spot and for some reason

[19:40:39] some overlapping funnies happened we don't know why

[19:40:41] that happened there's a girl alive there's a grunt alone oh really oh brother that is so sad

[19:40:48] okay there's not a granolade, we have some time for donations!

[19:40:52] This is actually the perfect time because

[19:40:54] We're going back to something here, Adaf

[19:40:56] We have $10,000 from The Yeti

[19:41:02] Pencils down, hands up.

[19:41:05] And they say hey all

[19:41:06] Yeti here we want that Halo

[19:41:08] showcase let's go!

[19:41:11] Let's go thank you.

[19:41:11] We're at 18 thousand dollars Let's go! Let's go, thank you Dave.

[19:41:12] And we're at $18,000 towards the 50,000 that we need.

[19:41:18] Okay here is a big trick coming up so right here Nervy's going to hit a trigger

[19:41:24] and this door is going to open

[19:41:26] And hopefully I should be able to jump into the scare

[19:41:29] If this doesn't look the best...

[19:41:32] I believe...

[19:41:40] Go Cronos! best i believe go chrono nice heck yeah so brian we found out that the easiest way to make that work was for bryan and i to look at the wall and do nothing. Whoa, hello!

[19:41:45] I do need to move far enough

[19:41:47] forward otherwise the Scarab will

[19:41:49] essentially teleport so you should be good

[19:41:51] for us. Yeah, and I should

[19:41:53] be able to get out of this turret

[19:41:56] And destroy the Scarab while on board

[19:41:58] So it saves quite a lot of time

[19:42:02] Here comes, here comes

[19:42:06] ON EVERYBODY'S HEAD Here it comes, here it comes. Here we go. And everybody support the Chief!

[19:42:14] Okay Nerby I'm gonna die here and then hopefully I'll spawn on you.

[19:42:17] Sounds good. On melee? Yeah, with Melein.

[19:42:20] So by meleying and jumping we basically make the game think that we're in combat

[19:42:24] because we are with the air. You think so?

[19:42:26] Look out! Look out! Look out! And we can force them to jump. Because we are with the air. Do you think so?

[19:42:28] And we can force players to spawn on other players.

[19:42:32] So, yeah...

[19:42:34] We are just kind of waiting for the next segment here

[19:42:36] it's gonna be a little while

[19:42:37] we're going to kill a Marine to prevent some dialogue,

[19:42:39] so go ahead and

[19:42:40] take it away with the donuts. Yeah, for sure.

[19:42:42] I just also want to shout out that we're working towards our

[19:42:44] $50 million

[19:42:46] lifetime donated towards charity and we need to get just over $905,000.

[19:42:51] We're sitting at $828,000 everybody!

[19:42:55] We are making swift work of this.

[19:42:57] We also have $10 from

[19:42:59] Victorian Kestrel who

[19:43:00] says, hey Kestrel

[19:43:01] checking in from the

[19:43:02] back couch loving the

[19:43:04] great vibes I'm getting

[19:43:05] right now from GDQ's

[19:43:06] past and present

[19:43:07] donating for the death

[19:43:09] match at the end of the run but almost wish it was an ffa

[19:43:12] smiley face good luck gamers i'm about to die do not shoot me

[19:43:17] let's look the plasma i will not see the co-op teams punching each other.

[19:43:21] We got time for one more.

[19:43:22] For sure, we have $10 from Kraid who says

[19:43:25] Boost me? Okay Nervy! You're a wonderful human being

[19:43:29] you have a gentle voice that's easy to listen to.

[19:43:31] You're a talented speedrunner.

[19:43:33] Let's get a hype train boosting our boy Nervy.

[19:43:37] Hell yeah!

[19:43:38] You know what would suck? If somebody were pissing right here.

[19:43:40] What the...

[19:43:41] Oh my god, dude.

[19:43:42] I love how you still tried to force that in there.

[19:43:46] Well because look, I don't think-I wanna be clear

[19:43:48] I don't think that joke is funny

[19:43:50] but we have done it every single run since we started six months ago, and if we didn't do it I'm gonna be honest. I would be upset

[19:43:56] Oh, I think i'm gonna die

[19:43:58] No, i'm alive

[19:43:59] I'm not okay. Thank you. Yeah. I've never been in front here.

[19:44:03] I'm a little scared.

[19:44:04] Uh...

[19:44:05] Woops!

[19:44:06] Great comms Nervy!

[19:44:07] Yep.

[19:44:08] You know what?

[19:44:09] Go ahead.

[19:44:10] I'm gonna go.

[19:44:23] yeah coming up here. This is huge for me. Yeah, I'm so happy for you.

[19:44:25] Let's go!

[19:44:29] Alright, Kronos and I are

[19:44:33] going to the edge of this little drop down over here

[19:44:36] and we're gonna try and get a position for a fight earlier while ada or well

[19:44:39] adef and nervy are literally going to be fighting for this

[19:44:43] no bubble nery heard it

[19:44:52] we're good i'm through uh yeah we got it we're good

[19:44:57] you get it to get a chron, yeah. Let's go! Okay, okay.

[19:45:01] We're just waiting for spawns now. I was not able to kill the Chieftain, just a heads up.

[19:45:05] There are two more back there if you want to get them where's the other uh it might be i

[19:45:10] might okay we're good uh there's a brute alive in there but he didn't make it through

[19:45:14] the door so yeah if you have to fit locked we're good.

[19:45:22] That was so fast! Are we serious?

[19:45:23] Okay this arc was genuinely...

[19:45:25] That could be a gold I don't know.

[19:45:27] I think that is probably a gold, this is stupid fast.

[19:45:29] That was... dude

[19:45:31] Nux!

[19:45:33] That was so good

[19:45:35] We've never done that well

[19:45:37] And that's the end of

[19:45:39] the arc?

[19:45:40] Yeah.

[19:45:41] I'm clapping for us,

[19:45:42] I'm clapping for

[19:45:42] us.

[19:45:43] Look any run

[19:45:43] that makes it,

[19:45:44] okay this level

[19:45:45] Oh my god I hate

[19:45:46] Hold E, hold

[19:45:46] E, hold

[19:45:47] E, I'm holding

[19:45:47] E babe, I'm

[19:45:48] holding E

[19:45:48] babe.

[19:45:49] You called me babe? Holding E Um hold me i'm holding you babe i'm holding you there oh you call me baby

[19:45:51] um okay this level is from start to finish so unbearably stressful

[19:45:56] um yeah we just right out the gate there's this combat encounter on

[19:45:59] the beachhead we need to clear everything, and then after that it just becomes

[19:46:02] oh where is the DC?

[19:46:05] So we'll see what happens here.

[19:46:07] I think I got the chip done, we will see.

[19:46:10] I'm going to get a lot of use out of this laser here.

[19:46:12] Both turrets are dead.

[19:46:14] Nice.

[19:46:16] I think...the Chieftain is dead?

[19:46:18] Yeah yeah they're not pushing off so we're good.

[19:46:21] Hooray! We're good. Cool, nice clear. Okay. I don't see a DC.

[19:46:22] Yeah no DC.

[19:46:23] Very important to kill these banshees as we found in quite a few of our runs

[19:46:34] all right fellas godspeed yeah that's the block this driving sequence

[19:46:41] i have nightmares about this driving sequence.

[19:46:43] Was that what your nightmare was about?

[19:46:45] Honestly, you were probably just having nightmares

[19:46:47] about doing this part.

[19:46:49] And then right after this part is going to be

[19:46:51] what I think is the coolest and maybe also hardest it's hard uh trick in

[19:46:55] the run but we'll get there when we get there yeah oh that's okay early ghost not great

[19:47:00] okay i'm aiming turrets wow oh no diverting diverting we're fine Wow. Oh no, behind us!

[19:47:05] We're fine. Okay, the worst. Good lord.

[19:47:09] Why is that so scary all of a sudden? I don't know. Half the time the ghost goes away...

[19:47:13] Checkpoint by the way just now.

[19:47:18] Number two!

[19:47:22] Okay so here's the next big part

[19:47:24] So hopefully we all survive here. Hopefully. This is gonna be

[19:47:26] quite...

[19:47:29] Alright, the only time I might call for

[19:47:32] serious time is this section. I don't know if the word

[19:47:34] serious time even exists in GDq lexicon anymore yeah for real

[19:47:38] uh here it is all right i made it

[19:47:45] so i'm trying to get to a safe spot they're all trying to live and this is all setting up for a big team outbreak.

[19:47:51] Oh we're good thank god.

[19:47:54] Right behind. Not yet not yet not yet.

[19:47:57] I'm also good.

[19:47:57] Okay. Get ready...

[19:48:01] And now! 206

[19:48:02] It's really late 13

[19:48:05] Really late 13

[19:48:09] I got it!

[19:48:11] Let's go!

[19:48:13] Oh my god, yes! Kronos we have to lift!

[19:48:18] Oh man flashbang! Just stay back be as safe as you can Oh, man. Flashbang.

[19:48:19] Just stay back. Be as safe

[19:48:21] as imaginable. Just live.

[19:48:24] Don't let it up a night

[19:48:25] down in this moment, please.

[19:48:27] We are going to take

[19:48:28] this so safe. There's the DC there bc oh okay what is happening

[19:48:32] okay don't make any comments yeah we're not out of the woods yet uh nervy what do you want me

[19:48:37] to do trigger no trick i want you to absolutely hit it okay heard that so trigger and camo yes okay

[19:48:43] i got the dc i don't want to give it up that's two that's two 88 hand I'm gonna stop talking.

[19:48:56] I'm in position. Remind me to say go or tell

[19:49:00] me go please. Okay I hit trigger...

[19:49:06] Go... okay now they're all gonna

[19:49:08] teleport right behind me in a warthog!

[19:49:14] Can you hear me? all right behind me in a warthog i cannot tell you how happy that we

[19:49:18] i don't think anything has killed our

[19:49:19] run more than that sequence right there

[19:49:21] basically chronos hit a trigger and then brian otto

[19:49:24] and i jumped out of our vehicles exactly seven seconds later uh

[19:49:28] and that allowed us to sort of be in this limbo state so that we could get

[19:49:31] back to where we were and do that thing where we bump triggers

[19:49:34] in order to, you know, proceed

[19:49:36] the level without ever having

[19:49:38] to walk all the way back. If you're curious

[19:49:41] about tech, the game thought they were

[19:49:42] a warthog.

[19:49:45] I was a warthog. I was a warthog. Alright, now we're gonna squad

[19:49:47] up and

[19:49:49] we are off to the races here as

[19:49:51] head into the back half of... I have another DC

[19:49:53] by the way. Oh nice!

[19:49:55] Okay so that means that I'm the only...

[19:49:57] okay so I have an invis here and we need it like six minutes from now?

[19:50:01] Yes.

[19:50:02] And that makes this the single most stressful segment of the run for me?

[19:50:04] At least we don't have to look for a DC here.

[19:50:06] That's true, I cannot die.

[19:50:12] One of the greatest levels in Halo history this one

[19:50:14] so many great moments as the speedrun it's...

[19:50:17] See the Wraith falling down, there he goes!

[19:50:23] Oh my goodness

[19:50:25] I think there is a Banshee on me.

[19:50:29] Nice! Good job!

[19:50:32] I'm right behind you, Kratos.

[19:50:37] Ow... Nice! I have a Breach Shot. Murderer.

[19:50:38] Oh, you got it?

[19:50:39] Okay.

[19:50:40] You can have it again.

[19:50:41] That's all good.

[19:50:42] You guys need to clear them out anyway.

[19:50:43] Yeah, we're clearing them.

[19:50:44] I do have a DC so I don't need any...

[19:50:45] I'm just gonna go for the I do have a DC so I don't need any materials.

[19:50:52] You should be good.

[19:50:54] Alright, moving forward.

[19:50:57] Alright... And...

[19:51:00] Okay!

[19:51:02] Here we go! Nice checkpoint, nice checkpoint.

[19:51:04] Yep, not out of it yet. We got a-

[19:51:06] My favorite skip in the entire co-op

[19:51:08] run coming up here.

[19:51:13] Mind if we get a quick update?

[19:51:14] Go for it.

[19:51:14] All right,

[19:51:19] we're almost at $20,000 towards our multiplayer showcase.

[19:51:23] Now I don't want to alarm y'all but we're at 45 minutes through the run, that estimate is

[19:51:25] an hour 20 so if

[19:51:27] we wanna see more of these incredible

[19:51:29] runners let's keep working towards those all right folks yeah

[19:51:35] all right so there is a little hole in the window now thanks to to these flood. And using a DC

[19:51:42] well... We can exploit that.

[19:51:46] Nice. Are you through?

[19:51:46] I'm through. Okay. I'm gonna dive.

[19:51:49] Okay.

[19:51:51] There's a lot alive?

[19:51:52] Oh, do you need help?

[19:51:54] Hold on a second, Nervy.

[19:51:56] I can live.

[19:51:57] You got it?

[19:51:58] Yeah why not?

[19:51:59] I'll clutch up.

[19:52:00] What's the problem?

[19:52:01] Okay cool.

[19:52:02] He sounded scared. also i fell off

[19:52:04] i'm not sure if this is an issue it might be you should be fine okay do

[19:52:08] you think so i could probably make this thank you

[19:52:09] that actually yeah i got you now you just picked me up right there

[19:52:13] that was huge.

[19:52:13] I'd like to say that wasn't intentional, but...

[19:52:16] It worked.

[19:52:16] Anyway, so the reason we're doing this is

[19:52:18] we're skipping a huge driving sequence

[19:52:19] and I'm just going to take a quick stroll backwards

[19:52:21] to hit the trigger that we would otherwise miss.

[19:52:24] I didn't die. Good job. Thank you. to hit the trigger that we would otherwise miss.

[19:52:26] I didn't die. Good job!

[19:52:27] Thank you.

[19:52:28] I'm sorry for...

[19:52:29] It's not like I doubted you, it was because I wasn't,

[19:52:30] I'm sorry.

[19:52:32] Hey look,

[19:52:33] I'm all about open communication even in doubt.

[19:52:34] Thanks babe. Yeah no problem babe all right die

[19:52:38] hornets

[19:52:43] checkpoint nice okay here we go very cool sequence coming up here

[19:52:48] the double scarab so these two scarabs are gonna spawn in the sky and then uh two hornets on our

[19:52:52] teammates oh i got it uh i'll just call a job. Okay.

[19:52:56] My bad.

[19:52:57] I was locked in.

[19:52:59] So I'll give you the sort of bird's eye perspective here.

[19:53:02] Oh my goodness, Chris!

[19:53:04] Ryze jumping down?

[19:53:05] Ah!

[19:53:05] I'm alive.

[19:53:06] Nice.

[19:53:08] Eklet stop again. N nervy's in nice so they're gonna beat the scarabs early

[19:53:11] um on melee for you chronos hopefully hi

[19:53:16] oh no oh god go away okay we're good nice you good yes i got the hornet

[19:53:22] okay ryan are you ready for the trick i'm ready for the trick

[19:53:27] i'm a little scared of the ghost though.

[19:53:28] I will not lie.

[19:53:30] We'll be buddies here!

[19:53:31] Okay, I'm kinda nervy.

[19:53:32] I can maybe shoot these guys.

[19:53:36] Gonna hop up on this hornet and we going to get to the end of this sequence

[19:53:40] in style does look good do you i think so okay hi hi If only we had more time! Clam-a-ty.

[19:53:50] Clam-a-ty!

[19:53:52] Nice!

[19:53:56] Hey, uh, Nervy? Yes?

[19:53:58] Just out of curiosity... Yes? Do you have any games on your phone?

[19:54:03] I got so many games on my phone.

[19:54:05] Do you have any games on your phone?

[19:54:06] I've got games on your phone!

[19:54:07] I've got Temple Run...

[19:54:09] You've got Doodle Jump?

[19:54:10] I've got Doodle Jump. got total job at all locked in

[19:54:17] all right so nervy is going to go for a huge

[19:54:20] trick here yeah there he goes through the sky.

[19:54:23] This is why we needed the camo.

[19:54:24] Yes. It keeps him alive when

[19:54:26] there are just so many enemies through here and we're just trying

[19:54:28] to walk up in case we need to hit any triggers

[19:54:30] retroactively or in the event that Nervy does which he won't because he's a ghost.

[19:54:34] I'd also like to let Twitch chat know that uh, that multiplayer incentive there are only what two levels left

[19:54:39] in the entire run? Yeah you gotta like- we gotta get moving on you gotta get moving

[19:54:44] on that incentive like brian auto happiness meter is going down please

[19:54:49] if bryan auto happiness meter reaches critical levels guys i don't want to talk about that. No, no, no, no.

[19:54:55] Head back to the lift!

[19:54:57] Find a way down!

[19:54:58] I didn't want to kill you there.

[19:54:59] Waiting for the plasma, yeah.

[19:55:02] Do you think we can read donations as we close out of here, Nerby? What do you think?

[19:55:05] Yeah probably. Alright so let's work on that Brian Otto happiness meter

[19:55:09] We have $250 from PR who says donating

[19:55:13] for the awesome cause and this super fun co-op run.

[19:55:16] I want to see these four friends

[19:55:18] turn on each other though.

[19:55:19] So putting this towards the incentive.

[19:55:21] Thank you so much.

[19:55:23] Oh please let me hit no.

[19:55:24] Come on.

[19:55:26] No! Oh, please let me hit. No, come on! Oh no!

[19:55:30] You got a cheer anyway. So close. Keep going. Okay we have $5

[19:55:32] from NerdPiggy who says

[19:55:34] We have less time than you think to hit that Halo 2

[19:55:37] V2 incentive because these gamers

[19:55:39] are fast. Let's get a

[19:55:41] $5 train going. Also

[19:55:43] hi from the back couch. Hi Piggy

[19:55:45] Hi! We need your picture out. Yep, I'm there

[19:55:48] I did something cool then

[19:55:50] I did something cringe

[19:55:52] Hey that's life. You can keep your donations

[19:55:54] we actually just bought us more donation time

[19:55:56] Amazing! We have $100 from Adeph's

[19:55:58] mod team who say,

[19:56:00] Good luck, Adeph and team! We're a bit surprised

[19:56:02] this isn't being played on an array of

[19:56:04] Spinda in Pokemon Emerald,

[19:56:06] so we'll let it slide. Much love from Donut Shoes,

[19:56:09] Hawkwing and the mod team.

[19:56:11] Thanks so much y'all.

[19:56:14] And you got time

[19:56:15] for at least one more? Let's do it!

[19:56:17] We have $500 from Captain SV who says

[19:56:20] this is an amazing group to watch play Halo

[19:56:22] hope they aren't too broken up

[19:56:24] after the 2v2 winky phase

[19:56:26] let's get it

[19:56:28] by the way I have a hammer.

[19:56:30] Oh! Can I? I need it actually.

[19:56:32] Yeah, Protoss you cannot be

[19:56:34] the chief today.

[19:56:38] Just firing squad.

[19:56:41] That was so selfless of Kronos to tell us that he had the hammer because

[19:56:45] you knew exactly what was going to happen.

[19:56:47] Thank you, Kronos.

[19:56:49] Alright this is probably the most infamous level everybody does not look forward to in Halo

[19:56:54] It's just...in Halo 3 at least it's so hard

[19:56:56] The level that I think from a co-op perspective we enjoy the least as well because

[19:56:59] We really just don't do anything and yet it feels difficult oh it's so

[19:57:06] hard i've never had so much trouble doing absolutely nothing

[19:57:11] i like the speed run for this level, but I'm also doing stuff so...

[19:57:15] Yeah.

[19:57:16] ...I can only imagine.

[19:57:18] For us it's just like pull back and pray.

[19:57:22] Oh god. Yeah, hope Derpy doesn doesn't die hit a button you know

[19:57:29] and i think we got time for i'd say probably another donation

[19:57:37] yeah our train is rolling we're over 22 000

[19:57:44] so we are doing wonderfully we have 104 from zibogo who says, Gotta get that multiplayer.

[19:57:46] I'm not sure you've killed each other enough yet.

[19:57:50] And we also have $75 from Wolfenstein saying

[19:57:53] Supporting Brian Otto though I'll never forgive him

[19:57:57] for killing the MRVNs in Titanfall.

[19:58:00] Thanks so much.

[19:58:01] Just a reminder everyone

[19:58:02] when you are sending in your donations

[19:58:03] make sure you are assigning them to this incentive

[19:58:06] because we want to see this multiplayer showcase by the end of this run all right let's hit that

[19:58:11] fifty thousand dollars and now will also put us well on the way

[19:58:17] to the 50 mil lifetimes.

[19:58:19] Yeah, I can't believe that number even happened.

[19:58:21] By putting your donations towards the 2v2 showcase

[19:58:23] you're helping both things.

[19:58:25] Alright so we are going to split up here.

[19:58:28] Nervi's gonna go forward and I am gonna just kind of hope

[19:58:32] and pray that everything goes well from the far back. Nice checkpoint!

[19:58:36] That was a really good checkpoint. Kronos and I are just gonna follow Nervy here,

[19:58:38] My goal is to get out of this room as quickly as possible, preferably with a camo.

[19:58:50] Okay... Okay. Where am I? Here we go. God, this level is so stressful.

[19:58:55] Okay, I am in position.

[19:59:03] So we're gonna overlap two of those little cutscenes where the game slows down, and I'm at a button that's going to force one to happen

[19:59:05] it's-I'm gonna overlap with Nervis

[19:59:07] and its gonna save time

[19:59:09] I don't really know...

[19:59:09] Well, I just do what I'm told!

[19:59:15] Best of luck, y'all.

[19:59:18] Get ready.

[19:59:19] Go!

[19:59:20] So this is once again

[19:59:21] overlapping two Cortana moments, essentially

[19:59:23] when you overlap two Cortana moments, when one of them

[19:59:25] ends, both of them end.

[19:59:27] In this particular instance

[19:59:29] it's a Gravemind moment and a Cortana moment.

[19:59:32] Which both just get called Cortana moments.

[19:59:35] We're both right behind you Nerd Herd.

[19:59:38] I can stay back if we want?

[19:59:40] Go Kronos.

[19:59:44] This is Hellroom. I stand here. yeah stay back okay go chronos yep so this is hell room this is yep aptly named i still don't know how to do this room casually i only know the two speed run routes and to be honest i'm

[19:59:48] okay with that and let me know when to die. Will do.

[19:59:55] So I'm staying back as a contingency plan here?

[19:59:57] Alright, I'm through go ahead and die. Nice Nervy.

[19:59:58] Nice Nervy.

[19:59:59] Good job dude.

[20:00:00] How are we spawned on Adaf?

[20:00:03] Oh, we keep spawning on each other.

[20:00:05] That's okay.

[20:00:08] They have really cool launch guns up under every screen, one of my favorites for sure.

[20:00:14] Could y'all die right after this too uh yeah probably yeah i'm gonna wait one second

[20:00:21] cool nice nice okay die you said i think we're good yeah we're good we got the checkpoint Cool. Nice. Nice, okay.

[20:00:25] Die you said? I think we're good.

[20:00:26] Yeah, we're good. We got the checkpoint so we're chillin'.

[20:00:27] Here's my favorite launch in the game combining a nade goose with this box.

[20:00:31] Well...

[20:00:33] You can get a lot of speed.

[20:00:34] Nice dude!

[20:00:35] Nice, Henry Vick.

[20:00:52] And so for this next segment, I got a camo way earlier on and I'm going to drop it right here for NERD for later So its gonna allow him to do some... Its gonna make the exit from this level much safer because we're basically going to allow him to do some... It's going to make the exit from this level much safer

[20:00:57] because we're basically going to backtrack the whole way.

[20:01:00] We're good, by the way.

[20:01:01] Just jumping in

[20:01:03] and we are halfway to our incentive

[20:01:05] for Ocifrostit!

[20:01:07] Let's keep going! We're doing to our incentive, folks. We've crossed it. Let's keep going.

[20:01:08] We're doing great work.

[20:01:10] This is the penultimate level, so it's time to go.

[20:01:15] Right in the back half of this level and then there's just one more twitch chat so get i don't

[20:01:18] know what it's going to take a 117 train let's stop getting there start seeing i was gonna say

[20:01:25] please let me shoot chronos in the, but that sounds a little morbid.

[20:01:29] Also I would like to do that.

[20:01:30] You just said it.

[20:01:32] I hate to tell you, you just said it.

[20:01:34] This is why this camo that he plays later on

[20:01:35] is much more useful because

[20:01:37] I can just camo through this section.

[20:01:38] Start a chain reaction reaction destroy high charity

[20:01:42] so adef i do want to shout out we had someone answering your call actually already we had 117

[20:01:48] who said i'm doing my part love to see the vibes thanks so much we'd love

[20:01:52] to see it vibes are good vibes are good five years ago they're good vibes are good

[20:02:01] all right Alright. We're just kind of waiting to spawn in on Nervi here.

[20:02:05] And we are praying for a checkpoint. Yeah, yes.

[20:02:09] There's so many enemies in all these tight corridors here.

[20:02:14] Looking maybe good?

[20:02:16] Nice!

[20:02:18] I cannot believe we got that checkpoint.

[20:02:20] We got that at our practice, for our last practice run too.

[20:02:22] We probably get that checkpoint 10% of the time?

[20:02:24] If even that.

[20:02:26] Yeah.

[20:02:28] To note why that checkpoint's so good, if we didn't get it and we all died,

[20:02:31] we'd have to go all the way back to before

[20:02:33] the reactor room. Yeah, it's...

[20:02:35] And that's happened before! It's

[20:02:37] happened multiple times. Actually, the last time

[20:02:39] it happened was when I completely

[20:02:41] accidentally team killed everybody.

[20:02:43] This is all waiting so lady, you know it was

[20:02:45] I legitimately just shot everybody with the

[20:02:47] fruit shot and I didn't try to do it at

[20:02:49] All and i'm not joking like it was

[20:02:52] I don't know that i've ever felt worse

[20:02:53] Nice good job. So i'm going back up through

[20:02:55] the hole that we came down in doesn't not supposed to so they put a big barricade here

[20:02:59] but you can just jump over oh yeah and i jump over it? I can. Oh, cool!

[20:03:07] Don't kill me please.

[20:03:08] I need to undo this gun.

[20:03:09] Thanks.

[20:03:10] Okay so now Bry and I are going to try to find- and Chronos

[20:03:13] Are gonna try to find weapons to empty

[20:03:16] Because if you have an empty weapon...

[20:03:17] I'm not having much luck here.

[20:03:20] Yeah, this is not good for me.

[20:03:23] I've not found anything yet.

[20:03:24] Anyway, um, you're probably good to read a couple

[20:03:26] donations after we head out of here.

[20:03:28] For sure! We have $25 from

[20:03:30] ZedZed who says,

[20:03:32] Whoa! Wild that they made a game commemorating the legendary

[20:03:34] John Halo. Very well warranted

[20:03:37] Good luck to Bio and crew on

[20:03:39] the run, super excited to see

[20:03:41] you for it, take down this game on the big stage

[20:03:43] And let's hit that 2v2

[20:03:45] showcase!

[20:03:46] How are we looking? Let's hit that 2v2 showcase. Woo!

[20:03:50] We are at $28,000

[20:03:54] Almost 29,000 so great work folks

[20:03:56] let's keep it rolling. Good job, nice Cortana y'all!

[20:03:58] That was like almost a 7 flat by the way.

[20:04:00] Yeah that was- I feel like this run is really good.

[20:04:02] Um... It's pretty solid.

[20:04:04] I'm not gonna have fuel ride here. Okay.

[20:04:06] So Kronos, I'll do my best on the uh clear

[20:04:09] with you. Yeah we should be good here this is the last

[20:04:13] mission get those donations in come on gamers we got time for

[20:04:18] two on the way out here right now.

[20:04:20] For sure we have $100 from CadGreen55 who says

[20:04:24] donating to try and keep the Brianetto Happiness Meter above critical levels

[20:04:28] I'm telling you because you don't want to see it,

[20:04:30] if you don't want to see it...

[20:04:31] That's right!

[20:04:32] ...I will get so toxic.

[20:04:34] We also have $117 from Shanix

[20:04:36] who says,

[20:04:37] 117 train arriving

[20:04:39] to the station.

[20:04:40] Hell yeah. Let's go! And we're almost at 30,000 117 train arriving to the station.

[20:04:41] Let's go!

[20:04:43] And we're almost at 30,000.

[20:04:45] Come on folks doing so great.

[20:04:47] Woo!

[20:04:48] Heck yeah.

[20:04:49] Alright checkpoint?

[20:04:50] Please. Nice.

[20:04:52] Good hammer! Yeah I'm gonna do my best here.

[20:04:56] 74 not bad.

[20:05:00] Did you?

[20:05:01] Did you defeat it?

[20:05:04] Fun fact, you don't actually need to climb this fire.

[20:05:07] You can just do fun stuff with a hammer and get in here a lot earlier.

[20:05:11] I found a few rod.

[20:05:13] Hi, Johnson.

[20:05:15] Bye, Johnson.

[20:05:17] Yeah, here are...

[20:05:19] I got you baby!

[20:05:20] Are you in there?

[20:05:21] Open the damn door!

[20:05:25] Come on, Kronos protection squad. No one kills my man.

[20:05:28] There is a really big way fight that's going to come up here.

[20:05:32] Okay, I'm gonna die, Kronos?

[20:05:33] One of the longest

[20:05:35] combat sequences yeah i know you followed me in there's going to be three waves that we have

[20:05:41] to kill here well where are they i guess like never come here soon i never come up here this fast so

[20:05:48] we have to like talk about it for a second right

[20:05:53] usually takes me way longer

[20:05:56] but It usually takes me way longer. Thought that was a shielded guy, but I'll do it.

[20:06:00] Did I see one? I'm tripping. No he was right here!

[20:06:04] I knew it.

[20:06:08] Nice. Uh there's a spider up top, I think the Sentinels will get him.

[20:06:12] Alright boss flag that other side, other side. Yeah there's one more spider you got him? I got him.

[20:06:21] Nice.

[20:06:29] Do we have time for some updates? Yeah, absolutely.

[20:06:30] Okay awesome! We're almost at $31,000 and we have 125 from Mike and Laura who say

[20:06:36] 8FN team it's amazing to see this level

[20:06:38] of FPS gaming on the SGDQ

[20:06:40] stage. We are so proud

[20:06:42] of these sick strats and even

[20:06:44] sicker snipes. Keep supporting

[20:06:46] Master Chief with that master chef dot, dot, dot.

[20:06:49] Less than three Dad and Laura.

[20:06:51] Thank you, Dad.

[20:06:52] Thank you, Laura.

[20:06:53] Much love.

[20:06:56] Haven't gotten load yet?

[20:06:58] There was a boss flood.

[20:07:02] There we go. Nice!

[20:07:06] And this is another cool...

[20:07:08] Honestly pretty funny little part of the co-op run we are going to so we

[20:07:12] already killed Johnson and we're gonna kill Johnson again

[20:07:15] and that's gonna allow us to duplicate his Spartan laser that he has which is

[20:07:19] gonna be helpful for the final boss fight here.

[20:07:24] Who's victim and who's foe?

[20:07:28] I think the foe is the guy

[20:07:29] that purposely...

[20:07:30] Yeah, I think the foe is the guy that purposely... Yeah, I think the foe's the guy

[20:07:32] that's really evil. That's like killing everybody?

[20:07:34] That would be my guess, I don't know.

[20:07:38] I love that he asked the question though. Are we good?

[20:07:40] Yeah, we're good.

[20:07:44] Alright so now we are going to have two Spartan lasers

[20:07:46] And Derby is gonna do a super cool trick right here

[20:07:48] So it turns out

[20:07:50] the floor extends pretty far out such that you can just land right here nice

[20:07:57] hell yeah nice job nervy let's get to get the second johnson spartan laser

[20:08:02] a little early and johnson spartan laser a little early

[20:08:03] and johnson's going to point the hammer up

[20:08:12] ah too early that's. Yeah you're good.

[20:08:16] I missed again!

[20:08:18] I'm so good at this video game it's unbelievable

[20:08:22] Purposely delaying the run so we reach

[20:08:25] the 2v2 incentive is wild.

[20:08:27] It's totally wild.

[20:08:29] I can't believe you're doing that right now.

[20:08:33] I love how I hit the really hard part and then completely failed the easy part.

[20:08:37] That's always how it goes.

[20:08:39] Alright, this is it gamers!

[20:08:41] This is the Warthog run coming up here.

[20:08:42] The home stretch right here.

[20:08:44] And so by virtue of the fact that we're playing four player legendary

[20:08:48] there's an achievement you might be familiar with called a big master

[20:08:51] so there's actually going to be ghosts spawned here that aren't here unless

[20:08:54] you're playing four- player legendary and nervy's

[20:08:57] going to use that to

[20:08:57] his advantage so

[20:08:58] johnson turned into a

[20:08:59] flood right there oh

[20:09:01] wait did he actually

[20:09:02] think so

[20:09:02] can't say my face

[20:09:03] oh yeah there he is

[20:09:04] oh wow bye johnson

[20:09:06] i'm not i don't know what happened i'm gonna be real

[20:09:08] i just saw like a marine that i assumed was johnson and then i saw a flood

[20:09:15] so here's the vidmaster ghost they're put here if you play this on co-op and on legendary,

[20:09:19] and basically just play from the start of a mission which we are doing.

[20:09:24] There was a grunt? No it was one of those mullets. Yeah the emu looking thing. The dog is on

[20:09:31] the other side. Oh my god. Alright good luck Nervy. Thank you hopefully we get a checkpoint

[20:09:35] here that'd be nice. Probably not because I was shooting people. That's okay. My bad.

[20:09:39] All good.

[20:09:42] I'm gonna take this flood with me.

[20:09:44] Do we wanna take it slow

[20:09:45] so that Chronos can get in the back up hog?

[20:09:47] Yeah, yes. Definitely.

[20:09:49] Gamers this is truly you've got but minutes

[20:09:52] But minutes left.

[20:09:55] We're sitting at 34 thousand right now so

[20:09:58] That's winnable! Right? Let's keep pushing, we only have a few minutes as ADEF said to hit that $50,000 and let's keep working towards that.

[20:10:08] We got it folks! Let's keep pushing.

[20:10:11] Okay, so Nerby is going to be the winner of this round. We got it folks, let's keep pushing.

[20:10:17] Okay so Nervy is going to go for more exclusive co-op strats here because we're in co-ops there are bonus Warthogs that spawn

[20:10:19] in these little roundabouts and Nervy is gonna try

[20:10:21] to boost off of those

[20:10:23] uh to skip some spawns hopefully i get nice panels oh nice

[20:10:32] oh my god, that panel like-

[20:10:33] No!

[20:10:36] Yes.

[20:10:37] We're fine, we're fine.

[20:10:38] And then Nerpy...

[20:10:38] That's what he might know!

[20:10:41] Okay, we should die? We should die.

[20:10:44] We should die promptly. Woo!

[20:10:48] Also I just want to note none of y'all got my hog and I'm a little offended.

[20:10:52] I should've, I should have.

[20:10:54] We're just so used

[20:10:55] to not being alive

[20:10:56] at this point.

[20:10:58] We really do...

[20:11:00] Yeah, we just are

[20:11:01] supposed to die here

[20:11:01] pretty much all the time.

[20:11:03] So then there is

[20:11:03] a second roundabout that N nervy is also going to try

[20:11:06] through several warthog on top of yeah again these are not free and those warhawks aren't

[20:11:11] co-op exclusive as well so normally you have to drive all the way around those

[20:11:17] roundabouts but co-op is cool co-op is cool

[20:11:20] office for both his audience how we feeling oh my god!

[20:11:28] There are so many people.

[20:11:32] That's the first time I've turned around in like an hour.

[20:11:37] Come on, yes! Yes! Yes, Irving!

[20:11:43] And we don't have anything... I think we can chill now.

[20:11:45] If we don't move, I think we're fine right, Chris?

[20:11:48] That's correct.

[20:11:52] Oh no...

[20:11:56] ... How are you doing?

[20:12:02] I'm doing pretty good.

[20:12:04] That's a mean panel.

[20:12:07] Alright, looking good so far. Those panels on me. Oh, you got that's okay. We didn't lose too much speed. I think we're good. Yeah, it looks good to me.

[20:12:22] Let's go!

[20:12:28] I won't lie there was a split second I doubted. I don't know, y'all. I don't think we like these runners enough hey?

[20:12:55] Well good news if you want more of them we need less than $15000000. So let's get

[20:13:02] more of these runners!

[20:13:06] Let's keep pushing folks time is

[20:13:08] so short we are 71%

[20:13:10] of the way there.

[20:13:16] Every single dollar is important, less than $14,000 to go.

[20:13:18] All right, folks, let's go.

[20:13:22] We are about one minute left in the run, so get ready on time here. This is a very

[20:13:24] good run from us.

[20:13:26] It is...

[20:13:27] Yeah, and that's RTA.

[20:13:31] This is like 107,

[20:13:33] I think, which is

[20:13:34] less than a minute from our PB.

[20:13:48] We're going to go through some last minute love just for all of these runners here.

[20:13:53] We have $10 from Rain Dean who said, let's start a $5 final donation train

[20:13:57] to get that multiplayer showcase. I get it started by buying two tickets time is coming up soon no, no panels!

[20:14:10] And...time! 108.33, oh my god! That is... that's a 107 in-game time which is less than a minute for Mark BB

[20:14:35] This is our second best run ever.

[20:14:37] Yeah, yeah.

[20:14:38] Our second best run ever!

[20:14:41] Can we get some uh...

[20:14:42] Woo!

[20:14:43] Some bizpubs?

[20:14:44] Oh my gosh can we get some bizpubs?

[20:14:45] Boys!

[20:14:46] Wow.

[20:18:06] We're almost there.

[20:18:08] Let's talk about

[20:18:09] what we're going to do here.

[20:18:10] First of all,

[20:18:21] I got to thank everybody for being here. We're back.-op run but it is time for teams to separate into two distinct entities.

[20:18:23] Nice job, production team. We love you.

[20:18:25] Okay, thank you everybody. $50,000

[20:18:26] in an hour is absolutely

[20:18:28] wild. That's the most I've ever raised in

[20:18:30] any run I've ever done. Yeah, so thank you so much! One more round

[20:18:33] of applause to all the donors please

[20:18:37] It goes towards a great cause

[20:18:41] But now Brian Otto and I we are team tight squeeze.

[20:18:53] It's all love. It's all up.

[20:18:54] And, uh...

[20:18:55] You know, when it comes to Halo 3 I feel like there are two things

[20:18:57] You play campaign and then get on a custom map with your boys

[20:19:00] and you scream

[20:19:02] So we're going to scream.

[20:19:07] Can I talk about the ruleset a little bit?

[20:19:09] We are just doing 2v2 hardcore team slayer, so that's like

[20:19:11] VR starts no motion sensor but

[20:19:13] we are gonna play the regular guardians so you're familiar with MLG rule sets,

[20:19:16] this is kind of going to throw all that out the window.

[20:19:17] There's going to be all of the various weapons

[20:19:19] and sandbox on the map because we just

[20:19:20] think it's a bit more fun.

[20:19:21] And also the BR is fun to use instead of just AR.

[20:19:23] Yeah.

[20:19:24] Anyway.

[20:25:21] i don't know what that means yeah me neither okay um

[20:25:24] i gotta say though something i'm excited for and i bet the crowd is excited for too

[20:25:27] is that coming up right after this run

[20:25:29] there's a little something. I don't know if you know what it is

[20:25:31] but there's a dog or something

[20:25:33] There's no way a dog can speedrun

[20:25:35] There's nothing in the rulebook though

[20:25:37] that says a dog can't speed run.

[20:25:40] We're going to have a dog speed running.

[20:25:42] A dog is gonna speedrun right after this.

[20:26:34] as I want to give this a big shout-out despite the cheetah is gonna not only be

[20:26:36] PB's number one fan however if we need a little bit of concentration if he's

[20:26:41] getting a little bit growled up just pay attention to spikey who's kind of going to help us guide the

[20:26:46] crowd but if he's making noise let's make some noise for

[20:26:49] this dog because he is trained to handle it

[20:26:53] so it so real quick i want to introduce my couch starting from your left hello folks my name is

[20:27:16] No, I'm joking! My name is Grant Y yadis i'm really happy to be here in minneapolis and uh looking forward to a great day of baseball

[20:27:21] with the best boy all right what about you are you oh you're asking about don't worry about that guy.

[20:27:26] Don't worry about him. He's okay. And then of course I do want to shout out because there was a lot

[20:27:30] of work done to make this controller. This is a new controller. It's a little bit different than the one we use at AGDQ

[20:27:34] and big shout- one of my best friends

[20:27:37] in the world who helped me design this controller, build

[20:27:39] it, test it and he's not only

[20:27:41] that but he's the co-trainer of Peanut Butter

[20:27:43] Can I get some noise for Crispy?

[20:27:49] Peanut Let me get some noise for Crispy. Peanut Butter, you're the only one I haven't talked to yet!

[20:27:52] You know why?

[20:27:54] Are you ready?

[20:27:55] So folks time is gonna be when he presses the button

[20:27:57] so get ready on that peanut butter.

[20:28:11] Good boy!

[20:28:15] Okay, so we are off

[20:28:17] here with the run and one quick thing to notice is that Peanut Butter

[20:28:21] will be pitching in the top of the inning.

[20:28:24] And then Peanut Butter will be batting in the bottom of the inning.

[20:28:26] So we have a home field advantage.

[20:28:28] We're hoping that Peanut Butter is going to have a great game

[20:28:32] the ai can be a little bit unforgiving or it could be really good in our favor so

[20:28:38] we're really hoping that peanut butter gets the right side of

[20:28:41] the coin for them oh there you go good boy all right all

[20:28:44] right we know the ai can be it could be good if

[20:28:47] it works in our favor not so good if it doesn't and grunt

[20:28:50] you are one of several mods for this game

[20:28:52] is that right?

[20:28:54] If several is Spanish for one then yes

[20:28:56] I am definitely the mod for this game

[20:28:58] but yeah

[20:32:33] now one thing you can pay attention to with the batters is you can kind of tell if they're a home run hitter or not.

[20:32:35] Just pretty much there's like four body types,

[20:32:37] so you can see.

[20:32:37] So if we see a home run right now,

[20:32:40] it is going to be...

[20:32:41] Absolutely lose our minds right now.

[20:32:44] It's gonna be fantastic.

[20:36:38] Believe. Gotta believe right now believe gotta believe so are they gonna throw the third nope all right it's okay exciting

[20:36:47] inning though buddy you did so good. Excellent, DD.

[20:36:51] You're doing great.

[20:36:52] Well, while we've watched all this,

[20:36:53] this is a great time to actually hear

[20:36:55] a little bit about the controller itself

[20:36:56] and everything from JSR.

[20:36:59] Hi!

[20:37:01] Good to see you guys.

[20:37:02] Joining me from the dugout, I see.

[20:37:04] Yeah, we have good boy in the game

[20:37:07] right now. He's still throwing gas.

[20:37:08] He made one bad pitch but

[20:37:10] a good boy doesn't make a bad pitch. Let's be honest so we're still looking good

[20:37:17] Yeah, so Jason do you want to tell us a little bit about this controller that is just fantastic looking right now?

[20:37:23] Hold on for one second, what...

[20:37:30] Oh, BB on site checking out what's going on?

[20:37:35] Alright you got it! on site checking out what's going on all right you guys i'm coming over here

[20:37:42] all right because he counts and jso this is a different controller from the one you had

[20:37:46] playing gyromite with pb oh come on turn it let's go

[20:37:53] yes this is so the original controller we built out of a gamecube fight stick and it was good

[20:37:56] but it really limited what we could try.

[20:38:00] We built a controller out of plywood that allows us to have some... Oh! We had a scratch

[20:38:02] Was that a time loss?

[20:38:04] We gotta keep an eye on belly itches. A scratch?

[20:38:06] We want a pitcher, not a belly-itcher! Yeah!

[20:38:12] So we wanted to make a controller that gave us options To look at different types of games

[20:38:17] And we're hoping that next year

[20:38:19] Maybe we can start looking

[20:38:21] At little bit more, you know

[20:38:23] Unconventional stuff

[20:38:25] Like maybe perhaps something like

[20:38:28] Silent Hill 2. Doggo percent.

[20:38:30] You know? Something like that. Who knows?

[20:38:32] And as difficult

[20:38:34] as that might be, he has shown

[20:38:36] me time and again that as long

[20:38:37] As we work hard together he will always

[20:38:40] Try his best for me, and he does.

[20:38:42] He's such a special dog and I'm so proud of him

[20:38:45] Yeah he is doing so fantastic here

[20:38:47] He really is

[20:38:49] this dog has more patience and concentration than any dog i think i've

[20:38:52] ever seen look at him doing great even with chris

[20:38:56] you worked so well. It's okay.

[20:39:00] So one time, can I get a hand for Chris?

[20:39:02] I wanted to give him an inning because of how

[20:39:04] much work he put in helping me out. Thank you

[20:39:06] so much, man.

[20:39:08] Good boy.

[20:52:24] They're scared.

[20:52:26] All right, guys, here we go.

[20:52:26] You ready?

[20:52:27] Want some cheese?

[20:52:28] Watch me.

[20:52:38] Come on, sir. Sick. Oh, he throws gas all right here we go but bring out the big guns they know they're up against the best boy oh good

[20:52:41] good cut here we go all right watch me chip cheese

[20:52:44] best thing is though is that if we don't get a run here there's still extra

[20:52:48] innings there's more time with peanut butter so I'm not sure what I want to root

[20:52:52] for right now. But now...

[20:52:56] Now we are in a three-chip. This is the real competition!

[20:53:00] This is where we see... Oh and that's a big boy coming up the bat too ready

[20:53:06] good boy all right perfect that's a good one that's a good one for us

[20:53:11] okay two outs to go

[20:53:51] big runner there it is i'm're not going to pump this time!

[20:53:55] Not with the top of our lives.

[20:53:56] We are going to go ahead and swing away.

[20:53:58] Yeah we are ready to just walk off home run

[20:54:01] is what we were hoping for from even a slow start.

[20:54:03] Here's the bad news...

[20:54:06] Here's the bad news. Here's the bad news!

[20:54:10] The good news, we have one more chance though it is only two outs and

[20:54:12] we still have a good hitter

[20:54:28] Get ready to go crazy because we're totally gonna win And button. That's it! Oh, that's a hit for us! Alright!

[20:54:30] We're still in it!

[20:54:32] Still in it.

[20:54:34] Feeling great!

[20:54:38] We're gonna go a little earlier.

[20:54:42] A little earlier than that! That's about as early as I can go, buddy.

[20:54:44] Yeah, I think PB is just stalling for more cheese.

[20:54:46] I think that's the real strats that's going on

[20:54:50] the longer this game goes on the more trees we have water can we get some water for the big

[20:54:54] for the good boy oh i just want to quickly shout out, we are under $10,000

[20:55:00] to our 5 million lifetime raise for charity.

[20:55:04] That's so awesome! Oh my gosh. Great work everyone. Let's play ball.

[20:55:08] Alright it's not in there?

[20:55:10] That is fine.

[20:55:12] We can take another donation at this point.

[20:55:14] I want to clarify that was 50 million,

[20:55:16] not five.

[20:55:21] So we also have

[20:55:23] $100 from KWFF

[20:55:25] the Fish who says, didn't think

[20:55:27] JSR could bring more joy

[20:55:29] and happiness to the retro community and And then PB came into our lives

[20:55:33] and multiplied it tenfold! Gigi's best boy! That's it. Kaboom! Oh, wow.

[20:55:41] We had a good one.

[20:55:42] Kaboom!

[20:55:44] All right, PBB needs some hits.

[20:55:46] Okay everybody.

[20:55:48] Let's get that number one for...

[20:55:53] Quick water break for the good boy.

[20:55:55] Every athlete needs to stay hydrated, it's important.

[21:01:36] So good. it on video again so good my name is this is peanut butter he is the goodest point thank you everybody enjoy the rest of gd3 you're all awesome All right, everybody.

[21:01:50] How about that game of baseball? ball thank you so much for joining us for that incredible run it has been such a wonderful

[21:02:04] evening the energy is electric and we have raised almost $900,000

[21:02:10] for Doctors Without Borders here at SGDQ 2024.

[21:02:13] All right. Hello everyone! My name is Mitris here running Sekiro like you probably have never seen it on a GDQ stage before. Here with me are my co-commentators. Hi,

[21:02:28] my name is Aggy. I'm also a

[21:02:30] Sekiro speedrunner or at least was

[21:02:32] once upon a time.

[21:02:34] Hi everyone! I am Parky and

[21:02:36] I also AM slash wood.

[21:02:37] Yeah you know we've all been playing a lot of the Elden Ring DLC

[21:02:42] You know there's that but uh yeah so today we're gonna do Sekiro

[21:02:46] But it's going to be hitless.

[21:02:48] So we are going to try not to take a single hit during the entire game.

[21:02:53] Now this game if you haven't heard of it before

[21:02:55] It is very difficult and so is not getting hit.

[21:03:01] There is no guarantees that we'll get it here but we'll explain a little bit more about what goes on with Hitless as we get into it so let's just go ahead

[21:03:06] and get this started up in five four three two one let's go all right so the very start of this run is just a little stealth section. So there shouldn't

[21:03:25] really be any danger of us getting hit here at the very start, but

[21:03:32] we are going to do just a little bit of speed tech. A little bit of jumping and

[21:03:36] wall kicks and various things like that to go a little bit faster

[21:03:40] but nothing too dangerous in this first section as long

[21:03:43] as i take the right path that one looks dangerous that would have been real awkward

[21:03:47] i promise that's consistent i promise it is um we're also not going

[21:03:51] to go too stealthy because these guys are

[21:03:53] not the best shots and if you just kind of take this

[21:03:55] little path behind them, they

[21:03:57] just miss so we're good

[21:04:01] Alright, so to explain a little bit about what Hitless is going to be...

[21:04:06] A hit is defined as any enemy causing us damage or stagger.

[21:04:13] This basically comes out of the game itself. Damage or stagger. So this

[21:04:14] basically comes out to meaning

[21:04:16] it's okay if we deflect enemies

[21:04:18] which is the kind of perfect guard, you have

[21:04:20] get within a small window but

[21:04:22] not okay if we block enemies and its's not okay if the enemies actually hit us

[21:04:26] and take our health away. So this game is basically just mostly going to focus on that deflecting

[21:04:32] sometimes dodging in a few specific scenarios where we need to not take damage,

[21:04:37] and otherwise running through, stealthing through whatever we need to do

[21:04:41] to get through this. This is a speedrun as well,

[21:04:45] not a smooth

[21:04:46] run, per se, but

[21:04:48] it's going to be rough around the edges. It's going to have

[21:04:50] some scary moments because

[21:04:52] this game is very scary to run, but

[21:04:54] hopefully we'll make it through.

[21:05:00] So, as we get up to the first boss fight i'm gonna let my uh commentators talk through it because i really need to concentrate he's a tough one

[21:05:05] because we don't have all the skills that you would normally have throughout

[21:05:08] the game, so some of his attacks can be really scary.

[21:05:12] So I'll let them take it away as they go here.

[21:05:14] Yeah, speaking of scary moments...

[21:05:16] This is the tutorial fight that you were meant to lose

[21:05:18] Normally in the speedrun you'd just immediately take a hit and move on with the game

[21:05:22] We are under 3000 points

[21:05:24] This is a classic case of win the fight, lose the cutscene.

[21:05:28] So we've got to win the fight first.

[21:05:32] As you see like the general combat flow

[21:05:34] is that you're just going to mash basic attacks at your enemy

[21:05:37] until you kind of hear the different sound effects where they stop

[21:05:40] blocking and they deflect so once you hear that so that second sound there now that means they're

[21:05:45] going to counter attack you and you're gonna have to be ready to react whatever their mood is very clean

[21:05:51] fight though so far in wild itch all right guys not over yet yeah so you can

[21:06:00] see the top left how many health bars

[21:06:01] you gotta get through, so that's just one.

[21:06:03] Those red attacks are

[21:06:07] either thrusts, sweeps or grabs

[21:06:09] The sweep you need to jump over, the thrust

[21:06:12] you would normally makiri but we don't have that skill yet so he just has to

[21:06:16] We have raised 50 million total! Oh wow

[21:06:20] That was fast.

[21:06:22] That's awesome.

[21:06:24] Someone just sniped that, and meanwhile

[21:06:26] Mitch wins!

[21:06:34] Wow 50 million. Oh my gosh.

[21:06:35] They were like hey can you cut in with every thousand and then somebody was

[21:06:37] like what if I just donated 2,500?

[21:06:41] That is awesome and yeah we are through with the tutorial boss which if you've played

[21:06:47] the game normally, you probably lost to because that's the intended thing to do but

[21:06:52] yeah here we are just making it through on our way to the ogre there's

[21:06:56] just a little bit of time of walking so uh Jenny dear if you want to get in with some

[21:07:01] donations or some hype about the 50 million you know let us know what's going on oh boy uh

[21:07:07] well hey audience can i get a huge round of applause for 50 million total raised

[21:07:14] collapse in chat any emote any hype you've got that is incredible we have raised 905 000 currently

[21:07:22] in this event alone and we are not done yet. There is more to come,

[21:07:27] more runs just like our

[21:07:28] current Sekiro one. This is an incredible run that

[21:07:30] you do not want to miss but keep donating

[21:07:32] because there's also more GDQ to come.

[21:07:34] We have a bid or sorry, we have an incentive open right now

[21:07:37] to upgrade to level 1 critical mode

[21:07:39] for the Kingdom Hearts 2 final mix

[21:07:41] run but that is a big incentive

[21:07:43] but we are going to need your help and I know

[21:07:45] we can do it. We need $70,743

[21:07:48] more, but with

[21:07:50] all of your help, we can absolutely make

[21:07:52] it happen. Like there's $100 here from Ajax

[21:07:54] that said 50 million hype!

[21:07:56] I can't believe I'm here to see it amazing work, thank you everyone!

[21:08:01] Alright and Mitch here up against the first required mini boss, the Chained Ogre

[21:08:06] This guy basically just goes for a bunch

[21:08:08] of grabs so it's going to be almost entirely dodging not really

[21:08:11] deflecting and you kind of want to circle straight around him

[21:08:14] to his butt. And yeah there you go

[21:08:17] Nice and easy.

[21:08:24] You know what I was going to say earlier? I actually really like that Mitch fights Genichiro at the start

[21:08:26] because we'll see later what the fight looks like.

[21:08:29] It's cool that he gets to show off a bit of

[21:08:31] that fight yeah so if you're wondering later you know and you say oh he doesn't even know

[21:08:35] how to fight this guy i proved it in the start that That's a very good point.

[21:08:41] There is some speedrun skips that you could do

[21:08:43] in this section, but it's a little too scary

[21:08:45] for Hitless.

[21:08:47] In Hitless we do count falling into

[21:08:49] a void as a hit so this canyon is very scary very easy to fall if you try

[21:08:54] to go for the skip so i'm gonna do this the slow intended way uh so we're just going to shimmy

[21:09:00] along here we do have a little bit of

[21:09:02] a speed strat if you tap the button instead of holding it you shimmy a little faster

[21:09:07] it looks like he's really nervous about this

[21:09:11] uh he's matching my vibes after having to follow a dog up on a speedrun.

[21:09:16] It's a tough act to follow.

[21:09:20] We are coming up on probably the most random boss of the run.

[21:09:26] Very possible to get hit on this one, Gyoubu.

[21:09:29] He's not that hard of a boss to defeat normally, but he

[21:09:34] runs around and he makes

[21:09:36] our life very miserable for

[21:09:38] speedruns in Hitless. So hopefully

[21:09:40] I can get him here.

[21:09:42] And again, I'll let my commentators take it away.

[21:09:45] Yeah so the tricky thing about Gyoubu is he's on a horse

[21:09:49] which means... He's a lot bigger than you! And his body sometimes

[21:09:53] has a hitbox depending on the attack he's doing.

[21:09:57] It can kind of dead angle you, which basically means even if Nifsh tried to deflect it at

[21:10:01] the right timing, it's just going to hit you in a weird angle and he's gonna get hit or blocked

[21:10:07] oh there's the block right there yeah it was a toughie yeah that is okay

[21:10:14] we'll keep going for damage-less here.

[21:10:16] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[21:10:22] There it is!

[21:10:25] And this is definitely one of the harder fights in the hit list run.

[21:10:28] Yeah, and every speedrun and everything, Kyobo was always

[21:10:32] the worst boss for everyone.

[21:10:34] He's shockingly complex when trying to optimize it. I think we should have him here.

[21:11:00] Nice! Very clean.

[21:11:03] That looked really good, if you honestly didn't say that

[21:11:06] you got hit there probably no one would've thought it was a block

[21:11:09] No but yeah so the blocks do count as Yeah, you probably will.

[21:11:12] The blocks do count as a hit but not as damage luckily

[21:11:14] so we'll keep going for that

[21:11:16] damage list

[21:11:18] Not to put out any excuses there but it was a very strange timing that attack hit me because as he was kind of running by me

[21:11:26] It moved where it was going to hit and got to me just a little later than I was expecting, but that's

[21:11:32] alright. The actual scariest

[21:11:34] one is the next one coming up, the Blazing

[21:11:36] Bull because the deflection

[21:11:38] strategy that I'm using for most of these bosses

[21:11:39] you can't do that on Bolt because it causes fire damage

[21:11:43] even if you get a perfect deflect. So we're gonna have to try and dodge him the whole

[21:11:47] time and the dodge in this game... It's got not as many irames as the Dark Souls dodge, so it's a tough one. Pretty precise.

[21:11:56] Yeah this fight is the only one that I would say is significantly different for HitList because you just can't play the game normally

[21:12:03] yeah fun mechanics for early games

[21:12:09] i know a lot of people quit on the ball i guess for that reason. We do have time for maybe

[21:12:14] one donation as we run up to them?

[21:12:17] I have a really big one here

[21:12:18] that our amazing donations volunteers

[21:12:20] sent my way. This was a

[21:12:22] $3,000 donation from Tetra Cube that pushed us over the 50 million.

[21:12:31] They said long time you were here I can't believe after all these years we've raised fifty dollars

[21:12:37] thank you so much for your generosity on that and team let's keep going another quick shout out

[21:12:42] here for this event we have just passed 16 000 total donations that's incredible

[21:12:47] let's keep it up y'all

[21:12:52] all right so here we are approaching the bull uh this this stride definitely is a little bit

[21:12:57] hard to follow, it's pretty chaotic.

[21:13:00] Yeah so we're going to knock this guy

[21:13:01] out first and then we're going to run up

[21:13:03] and pop this Akashugger which is an attack

[21:13:05] damage buff and then he's just going to guide the bull through those two guys so that they get taken care of.

[21:13:11] Very cheeky dodges here right off the bat!

[21:13:13] I'm actually so stressed out watching him dodge those!

[21:13:16] Yeah, so basically he's gonna go for a bunch of charge attacks on the bulls head and

[21:13:20] every once in awhile he'll stagger to be able to get a few more hits in.

[21:13:24] It's a very erratic boss as you may imagine.

[21:13:27] Usually on speedruns, you want to kill with the posture bar being full, but on this guy

[21:13:31] You can't really do that super efficiently. So Mitch is gonna kill him with the health bar damage there

[21:13:41] Yay! health bar damage there. Yeah. There we go!

[21:13:42] That was, like, perfect.

[21:13:43] That looked awesome.

[21:13:46] Luckily it stopped him from running away

[21:13:48] too many times. He tried to run a couple of times, but we got that stagger

[21:13:50] and got him right back into that nice loop.

[21:13:54] And then we're going to go pretty much straight

[21:13:56] into the next boss

[21:13:58] The second time that we're facing Genichiro.

[21:14:00] But to get there,

[21:14:01] We've got to do a little sneaking kind of?

[21:14:05] Basically,

[21:14:06] we are going to get some enemies to see us

[21:14:08] but not fully aggro onto us

[21:14:10] so they kinda move out of the way

[21:14:12] and we can pass by them.

[21:14:14] There is one enemy that's going to see me and start

[21:14:16] throwing things at me, but he shouldn't be able

[21:14:18] to hit me before I can get to a safe

[21:14:20] spot. So...

[21:14:21] I'll wait for him to see me a little, and then go!

[21:14:27] Up here... Then here comes Wooga?

[21:14:29] Woogai!

[21:14:41] Very nice. And then right into a little platforming soup called Frontside Dojo here, so I assume we're waiting for the egg?

[21:14:44] The shuriken thrive. Beautiful! My favorite

[21:14:46] skip of the game right there.

[21:14:50] And here we've got Gnitry again. It's gonna go a little bit

[21:14:52] differently this time though so now we're gonna guide him to this

[21:14:55] corner and jump over his first two slashes there and uh remember that dead angle thing i mentioned

[21:14:59] yeah we're gonna do it to him now so yeah we're attacking towards the wall so he doesn't think to block it.

[21:15:06] Normally if you just try to attack towards an enemy they would just block it.

[21:15:10] But yeah! It's technically not aimed at him so...

[21:15:13] He doesn't need to do that and then he gets hit

[21:15:18] Then he gets staggered and just kind of lose them so yeah this is the same this is the same guy mitch fought at the beginning

[21:15:21] of the game um and he definitely makes a little fool

[21:15:24] out of him here, so...

[21:15:28] Poor Danny.

[21:15:29] Yeah, poor Danny.

[21:15:30] Just disrespecting him.

[21:15:33] Nice! Alright, we're into a really cool

[21:15:35] phase three here.

[21:15:38] So normally on this phase three he does this lightning strike thing where you do a lightning

[21:15:43] reversal but you do take damage from that so Mitch will just be fighting him the same way

[21:15:47] that he usually fights can you show but he will be avoiding this lightning there

[21:15:50] yeah yes and normally the lightning would

[21:15:52] be your best punish opportunity because you kind of catch it and throw it back

[21:15:55] at them then it gets like super stunned and damaged but no can do here oh a great deflect

[21:16:04] there so normally you want to dodge the side there, but the wall there obviously.

[21:16:10] That's a tough spot.

[21:16:12] That's just unfortunate spacing there because of the wall.

[21:16:16] Yeah that's alright we got it. We got a little unlucky but made it through pretty clean.

[21:16:21] The fucking thrust was like the coolest thing I've ever seen so...

[21:16:25] Yeah, yeah. That's minus one hit right there.

[21:16:28] Little known fact that thrusts in this game there is a special counter for them but they can also be deflected.

[21:16:33] The reason we don't usually try to do it in speedruns is because its slow and you get knocked back

[21:16:38] and its very slow animation but I had nowhere

[21:16:41] to go there so that was my only

[21:16:43] option. Clutched up

[21:16:44] And the parry frames for those

[21:16:47] thrust attacks are much smaller than

[21:16:49] a normal attack, it's seven frames, is that right?

[21:16:52] I'm not sure of the frame date on it.

[21:16:56] Time for the story part of the speedruns

[21:16:58] Yeah, yeah. That was the best part.

[21:17:00] The yapping and while we're yapping in-game how about we also yap out of game with some

[21:17:04] donations?

[21:17:05] Oh you want me to do that?

[21:17:06] Alright I guess I can yap, that's a thing they put me up here to do I suppose.

[21:17:10] $25 dollars from Matt that said, first time donating

[21:17:13] after watching for years. This feels like a

[21:17:15] week-long holiday and for a great cause.

[21:17:18] Cheers to good runs and congrats

[21:17:19] on 50 million. Thank you

[21:17:21] for contributing to... well as anonymous would like

[21:17:24] put it $500 here they said let's go to 100 million so thank you for

[21:17:28] contributing towards that hundred we are now marching quickly towards

[21:17:32] We've also got a five dollar donation from from Ribba that said, three of my

[21:17:34] favorite speedrunners on the same screen? Go Mitch! Ooh-woo.

[21:17:40] I don't know that we needed that last one.

[21:17:42] Look, my job is to say it exactly how they give it to me.

[21:17:46] Point at them.

[21:17:47] $100 here from wehe that says, see, Sekiro is easy.

[21:17:50] Just don't get hit!

[21:17:51] Shout out to Mitch and the whole Sekiro speedrunning community for being

[21:17:54] one of the best.

[21:17:57] I just want to add in a little thing here,

[21:17:59] I couldn't beat this game getting hit just once, twice, three times

[21:18:03] I'm like the all-hit runner

[21:18:05] so even that one,

[21:18:06] you are still infinitely better than me

[21:18:07] and it is still an amazing showcase.

[21:18:09] I'm so glad I get to watch this live, man.

[21:18:12] You got a time for another donation here too?

[21:18:14] Yeah, another one.

[21:18:15] All righty.

[21:18:16] Let's do this $25 here from

[21:18:17] Caitlin that says watching GDQ with my husband

[21:18:19] has become one of my favorite traditions

[21:18:21] thank you so much for that $25 and let's get back

[21:18:23] to the run. Oh yeah

[21:18:24] so we do have a bit more running to get through here, but I do want to explain a little bit about the differences that you might see in this run compared to other runs.

[21:18:35] So even though this is hitless any percent, it's not

[21:18:39] hitless with glitches.

[21:18:40] With a hitless category

[21:18:43] it's generally decided

[21:18:44] that you shouldn't be skipping any bosses

[21:18:46] because it would kind of defeat the purpose.

[21:18:49] If you just didn't have to fight

[21:18:51] anything, it'd be pretty easy not to get hit.

[21:18:53] So that's why you'll see things

[21:18:55] like we actually fought Gilbu

[21:18:57] and we fought Bull, despite there being ways to skip them.

[21:19:02] And so... There are also a few instant kills that you can do on some of the bosses

[21:19:08] Maybe it's a glitch? Maybe it's not. Who really knows?

[21:19:11] But for the spirit of

[21:19:13] Hitless, I'm going to choose

[21:19:14] not to do them.

[21:19:17] There's varying rules on whether

[21:19:18] you can or cannot in different situations, but for me I'm just going to go with we're fighting all of them.

[21:19:25] We're still going to AI loop them and all that stuff.

[21:19:28] We're going to embarrass them, but I will at least be fighting every single boss that a boy well

[21:19:34] everyone that's you know along the way we're doing the optional ones all the bosses except

[21:19:38] the ones were not yes yes um i would just like to do a call back to that don't know uh so mitch actually

[21:19:45] taught me how to play sekiro and one tip that mitch always gives when he teaches you something

[21:19:49] is it's easy just don't get hit don't get hit yes okay it's easy. Just don't get hit. Don't get hit, yes.

[21:19:52] It's easy.

[21:19:53] The classic chatter advice.

[21:19:55] Yeah.

[21:19:57] Yeah I didn't follow my own advice.

[21:20:00] Turns out it's not so easy.

[21:20:05] Those who can do teach or something.

[21:20:05] Wow!

[21:20:11] I can say that I have been a teacher for many years, so... Well the good thing about a hitless run is even if if you get hit, you still get to watch it glitch speedrun.

[21:20:15] Yeah, yeah! Pretty cool.

[21:20:17] Still I think the first time we've had Glitchless at GDQ?

[21:20:21] Uh...I certainly haven't though.

[21:20:23] I haven't done it yet so

[21:20:25] either way a unique run and hopefully no more hits we are past the scariest

[21:20:31] parts of the run so

[21:20:32] hopefully it should be smoother sailing from here. There's a few more

[21:20:35] random parts where there's just like a 1% chance we'll get shot

[21:20:40] randomly by an enemy, but overall it's a little more chill from here.

[21:20:46] Alright, we probably have time for one or two

[21:20:48] donations as we get towards Roberto real quick.

[21:20:50] Alrighty, here is a $10

[21:20:52] donation from QuackSilverth says the only

[21:20:54] thing more amazing than your ability to not get hit is your ability

[21:20:57] to demystify some of the hardest

[21:20:59] games to ever do it and make

[21:21:01] them approachable. Maybe

[21:21:03] maybe not at this level though

[21:21:05] Let's go Mitch and let's go SGDQ!

[21:21:09] What would, what's the likelihood

[21:21:10] you could teach PB to Hitless?

[21:21:12] Is that something we can work on for the next event?

[21:21:14] Oh yeah, well, for sure definitely I think that's a oh we'll get right on that after this you could teach a dog

[21:21:21] he could teach me so that's the next thing all right we are coming up here onto roberto we've

[21:21:26] got a particular strat where we're kind of always going to get the same

[21:21:29] attacks from him because he does the same

[21:21:31] after Staggers and I'll let my commentators

[21:21:33] take it away. So, we're gonna do a little pocket

[21:21:35] stand action. Great opening.

[21:21:37] Nice and easy.

[21:21:40] And then a little straight thing until actually great opening very nice and easy

[21:21:44] a little strafing here until he goes into his kind of rage combo here this is a funny combo because it does push you back

[21:21:48] if you don't step back there very nicely done mitch yeah if you deflect that point

[21:21:53] blank you actually do get staggered i think that was a perfect review incredible Yeah, that's ideal. Incredible.

[21:22:03] Alright and we go right here into another

[21:22:05] boss fight

[21:22:07] technically the folding screen

[21:22:09] monkeys little bit of a puzzle boss and we are going to use

[21:22:12] some stealth to get to him.

[21:22:14] We've picked up some items along the way.

[21:22:16] I already used one earlier

[21:22:17] to stealth up to the ogre but these

[21:22:20] gachine sugars make us very hard to see and so with the puzzle boss the folding

[21:22:26] screen monkeys they're supposed to see you and run away and you're supposed to chase them to specific

[21:22:30] areas but if you just have the Gatchi and Sugar up

[21:22:32] they kind of just don't see you

[21:22:34] You can just hit them. It's pretty easy

[21:22:37] Mitch does say that

[21:22:39] but it's not that easy

[21:22:41] They do see you when you're approaching them

[21:22:44] but if your fast enough you can hit them before they run away

[21:22:48] We have that funny little thing where we jump right over that guy's line of sight so he doesn't

[21:22:52] see us. Goofy.

[21:22:56] And then, yeah, get into the monkeys.

[21:22:58] There is one... The final monkey that we're gonna kill does always see you.

[21:23:01] He's got super perception

[21:23:02] unless you sneak around behind him, but he's surrounded by other

[21:23:05] monkeys that will try to hit me so I don't

[21:23:07] want to go through those other ones surrounding

[21:23:09] him. So the final one

[21:23:11] I'm going to do sort of as intended and put

[21:23:13] him into a dark room where he can't see me. But the

[21:23:16] first ones, it's right behind me.

[21:23:19] He's right up here. He doesn't

[21:23:20] see me because I'm stealthy.

[21:23:22] Nice.

[21:23:24] The green one is supposed to hear you. He's got super hearing, but he does not get away from me in time.

[21:23:31] And then the final one we just scare over into this dark room over here

[21:23:45] and now oops

[21:23:47] no And now... Oops!

[21:23:51] Nice!

[21:23:54] Perfect monkeys there. Nice, Mitch!

[21:23:59] Isn't it kind of funny that the, like, super sight monkey needs glasses? Does he have glasses on?

[21:24:00] He has glasses.

[21:24:01] He's got little skirt holes.

[21:24:02] Yeah.

[21:24:04] Oh, that's cute!

[21:24:06] Maybe it's so you understand they're trying to help the player.

[21:24:09] I guess so. Maybe it's so that you understand. They're trying to help the player.

[21:24:16] Alright, and here we get a required item in order to beat the game but also our strongest skill that is going to absolutely carry us through the rest of the game.

[21:24:19] The Mortal Blade and the combat art we can equip with it,

[21:24:22] the Mortal Draw. Super powerful!

[21:24:25] When the game first released, it was very not-powerful.

[21:24:28] It was pretty bad but then in a patch they increased its damage

[21:24:32] by a lot and now it is like the best skill in the game absolutely shreds enemies you will see that

[21:24:38] very soon coming up here.

[21:24:40] It is very good, usually someone has issues on a boss

[21:24:43] and they're like oh what can I do?

[21:24:45] The answer every time is jump mortal draw.

[21:24:48] Jump mortal draw yes.

[21:24:49] Yeah in addition to just the mortal, we got a skill that allows us

[21:24:52] to use combat arts while jumping, while in the air

[21:24:55] and when you combine those two things

[21:24:57] The Mortal Draw does even more damage

[21:25:03] You'll see some bosses we can just take

[21:25:04] out entire phases of their health

[21:25:06] just with Mortal Draw.

[21:25:08] Is that a glitch though?

[21:25:11] It's a bug maybe? Yup, yup. which though the building ordered

[21:25:12] it's a lot of fun

[21:25:14] may have been a little maybe they've made its intended to buy an intended

[21:25:17] mechanic on a glitch they never said it wasn't in doubt that this cell

[21:25:20] they were passionate and i want you to do it. Yeah, right...

[21:25:26] We are coming up on the most random part

[21:25:28] of the run, the gunfort

[21:25:30] where there's just like 10 snipers

[21:25:32] that are all trying to shoot at you and even if you put the stealthy sugar on they still are all trying to shoot at you.

[21:25:39] So we have a particular pathing to try to avoid their shots, um... and then also wait for them

[21:25:45] to stop seeing us. It should

[21:25:47] work, but there's a chance it won't.

[21:25:49] So if I get shot here- not my fault!

[21:25:52] Uh... the game-

[21:25:53] The sun was in my eyes,'s lagging you know I think we can vote for Mitch

[21:25:59] on this one I feel like at least on a non Hitler speedrun every doesn't matter

[21:26:04] your run does not start until you've gone through this area because

[21:26:07] it's just you could literally die and you could be the best player of all time and it's just

[21:26:11] not your fault it is total baloney yeah so we are trying to make as few enemies see us

[21:26:17] as we can as we approach the scariest bridge part.

[21:26:21] So only this boss and one other sees us

[21:26:25] And if we crouch here

[21:26:28] nobody else will see us until

[21:26:30] we step on that bridge. Then everyone

[21:26:32] sees us and we gotta go so let's

[21:26:34] go!

[21:26:36] And then they're about to shoot so we jump off the bridge so hopefully

[21:26:38] they miss. Oh! I missed the grapple

[21:26:42] That's okay, that's okay. In order to get a second

[21:26:46] try at that i'm going to need to make everyone forget

[21:26:49] about me. So we're just going to have to wait here for

[21:26:51] a little bit.

[21:26:52] Time for some donations while we just

[21:26:55] wait for everyone to forget about me.

[21:26:56] Must've been the wind.

[21:27:00] Alrighty, here is $25

[21:27:02] from Kaleidonope that said

[21:27:04] if you think about it Doctors Without Borders

[21:27:06] and Sora have a lot in common

[21:27:08] they both go out of their way to reach out to help anyone in need,

[21:27:10] no matter the obstacles or perils they face.

[21:27:13] They both also need our help

[21:27:14] to reach their full potential. Let's keep

[21:27:16] donating to reach that critical mode incentive

[21:27:18] and that lifetime goal because we all know without a doubt msf

[21:27:22] is light so thank you for that because i'm gonna pivot right into talking about that upgrade to

[21:27:27] level one critical mode for kingdom hearts two Final Mix. It currently needs

[21:27:32] $69,163

[21:27:34] more dollars and that'll

[21:27:36] put us so close to

[21:27:37] $1 million raised this event

[21:27:40] I believe in us we can definitely make it happen

[21:27:42] so please remember when you're putting in your donations

[21:27:44] at the bottom of the page you do have to select

[21:27:47] incentives and bid wars that is not

[21:27:48] automatic and it's just with

[21:27:50] your donation you could just do that. It's not like you have to do anything additional

[21:27:53] Just click the box! So just do it! Help us get to that upgrade to level 1 critical mode

[21:27:57] We would appreciate you greatly

[21:28:00] Alright so now I did get the grapple the second time

[21:28:04] we are going to stealth through and just assassinate a few of these guys

[21:28:08] on the way through so they won't see us. Should be pretty safe from

[21:28:12] this point. Also, I forgot to mention at the

[21:28:14] start of the run but I will be donating

[21:28:16] $10 for every hit that I've taken so

[21:28:18] we're at three so far.

[21:28:20] So that's why you... Yeah it's for Cherry

[21:28:22] It's for Cherry. Very clever.

[21:28:25] Yes, yes.

[21:28:27] Alright this next boss, Parky's favorite is actually very consistent with the script.

[21:28:31] Parky you want to talk us through it?

[21:28:33] So Mitch is going to hit him once here and then deflect

[21:28:36] until the last hit which he will dodge through and then you do the md there

[21:28:41] and there is the death blow then he's gonna jump mortal draw and that will i'll do it again and then he's gonna jump, mortal draw and that will

[21:28:46] well, he'll do it again. And then that'll be

[21:28:48] it. And that looks really consistent

[21:28:50] but it's not and I don't know why

[21:28:52] It's like

[21:28:54] it's good until it's not.

[21:28:56] But that was very clean-witch,

[21:28:57] very beautifully done.

[21:28:59] And shows off the power of

[21:29:00] that mortal draw where

[21:29:01] in the second phase all I did

[21:29:02] was mortal draw and he was dead

[21:29:04] before he could even turn around

[21:29:06] and do an attack.

[21:29:07] So that is what we're gonna be relying on

[21:29:10] throughout this round.

[21:29:11] Very strong, though the positioning does matter

[21:29:14] and sticky keys.

[21:29:17] I'll pull out a little bit of practice Um... Sticky keys? Uh oh.

[21:29:18] Oh, I remember that from practice!

[21:29:20] Class!

[21:29:22] Noooo it's loud!

[21:29:24] Okay well, should've checked that before the run.

[21:29:28] Oh my gosh sticky keysikiTis are the real enemy here.

[21:29:31] Yeah.

[21:29:33] Well I think we're okay now.

[21:29:36] We'll take a look at the musical performance there too.

[21:29:38] Okay it's still happening on every...

[21:29:40] Can we take just a quick little tech break where

[21:29:42] I can disable the sticky keys hotkey here?

[21:29:45] Real quick. Yeah.

[21:29:47] Alright. St sticky keys.

[21:29:50] Stop!

[21:29:52] Hold on how do we get here? How do we get to the disable sticky keys noises? I don't want to hear them.

[21:29:59] Somebody donate and tell us how to fix Sticky Keys!

[21:30:03] I thought there was going

[21:30:05] to be a pop-up I could click on, no...

[21:30:07] There usually is, to be fair.

[21:30:12] Yeah, Sticky Keys have been a menace ever since I was a kid playing computer games.

[21:30:16] So can you submit Sekiro only sticky keys next event? All right.

[21:30:26] So give us one more second here, we've got to figure out where

[21:30:30] to get this from.

[21:30:32] What a scenario.

[21:30:33] Alrighty, I'm gonna take over for a moment

[21:30:36] if I can stop laughing.

[21:30:38] All right.

[21:30:38] Final boss!

[21:30:39] We've done it.

[21:30:42] Alright, don't have to just contend with getting hit, also with sticky keys.

[21:30:45] So that's really what makes this run so hard.

[21:30:48] This drop here looks very scary but as long as I grapple at the right time...

[21:30:53] Nice!

[21:30:54] His feet just get dipped into

[21:30:56] the poison, just a little. Just a little.

[21:30:58] No fall damage though, we're fine.

[21:31:00] And we are coming up on

[21:31:02] a little skip here with this snake.

[21:31:05] You're supposed to use the puppeteer ninjutsu in order to get a monkey

[21:31:09] to distract the snake so you can sneak on by, but if you just kind of

[21:31:13] jump by him and do a grapple at the right time,

[21:31:16] You can get over there.

[21:31:19] Nice! There's a little bit of weird hitbox there sometimes.

[21:31:23] I'll make sure to go very far out to the left

[21:31:29] Because if you stay close he can hit you and it really doesn't look like he should.

[21:31:36] And then we've got another little mini-boss here, the Snake Eyes. It's going to be mostly those mortal draws again,

[21:31:40] including the jump mortal draw that does a ton of damage.

[21:31:43] This is really hard casual boss in my opinion I feel like everyone struggles on this boss

[21:31:45] in their first playthrough

[21:31:48] Just watch Mitch make extremely easy work of it

[21:31:58] nice Nice. Very nice! Nice! Easy!

[21:32:01] What are the few grabs in the game that you can actually parry?

[21:32:04] Or deflect, rather.

[21:32:06] Yeah it's a very interesting hitbox A lot of people don't know that you

[21:32:09] can deflect it because it is a grab

[21:32:11] but yeah, deflecting it's

[21:32:13] very nice and also builds up a little bit of that

[21:32:15] posture so we kind of

[21:32:17] glossed over the entire mechanics

[21:32:19] of Sekiro, but basically enemies both have a health bar

[21:32:22] and they posture bar

[21:32:23] and you can either deplete their health

[21:32:25] or fill their posture.

[21:32:27] And then you are allowed to perform a deathblow on them, which takes away one of their lives.

[21:32:31] The game is called Shadows Die Twice,

[21:32:33] and that's not only for us but also most of the bosses

[21:32:36] who will have two or sometimes more health bars

[21:32:40] that you have to get through.

[21:32:44] We pick up here a Yashariku Sugar,

[21:32:46] which is a very, very strong sugar

[21:32:48] at the cost of reducing our maximum health in half,

[21:32:51] but it makes us do so much damage and if we're not getting hit

[21:32:55] hopefully, it doesn't really have a downside.

[21:32:59] That half's health is not to really affect us too much,

[21:33:01] but the increased damage is gonna make it a lot faster.

[21:33:05] Do you think he can do this next boss blindfolded?

[21:33:08] Blindfold... I don't know! He's a really hard boss here.

[21:33:13] Oh my god that was so hard!

[21:33:17] That was creepy oh my god

[21:33:21] So that is the hardest boss of the run, as you can see.

[21:33:26] Poor little Miss Noble.

[21:33:28] They really did him so dirty!

[21:33:31] The point of this fight is you're supposed to have to figure out how to get

[21:33:33] to him there's this whole winding path you got

[21:33:36] to go through but you can just do a little jump off the branch and get

[21:33:38] straight to them it's almost easier than going around

[21:33:42] because that's uh definitely easy all right we are coming up on uh the only boss in this run

[21:33:49] uh that truly has one health bar one health uh that we have to get through.

[21:33:56] And so there is a way to stealthily perform

[21:33:59] a death blow but it's a little weird in the

[21:34:03] way you do it, it doesn't feel very intended

[21:34:05] So I am choosing not to do

[21:34:07] the instant kill on this boss and instead fight it normally sort of?

[21:34:13] We'll see how the normally goes. Just avoiding all controversies on this one?

[21:34:19] You guys can talk through my

[21:34:21] 1-2-3 snap

[21:34:23] It's a very fun one, do you know it?

[21:34:25] I don't know if I remember the exact

[21:34:28] song but yeah

[21:34:29] there's a whole coffee pause every time

[21:34:32] Mitch gets here

[21:34:32] first of all the confetti is so

[21:34:36] beautiful, I love looking at the confetti is so beautiful i love looking at the confettis sorry yeah mitch will be doing

[21:34:39] um a little combination of the snap seeds and the ash both of which will make her stagger

[21:34:45] as you can see it and I guess just the exact order

[21:34:49] in timing he does it in is very specific

[21:34:51] and allows her to stay staggered,

[21:34:55] I suppose.

[21:34:58] Yeah, I mean, it's a consistent strut and there she is nice

[21:35:03] very cool very cool believe it or not not the cheesiest way to beat that ball

[21:35:08] yeah surprisingly yeah that is the legit fight

[21:35:12] it is a crazy fight though if you don't do any of this if you just fight with the sword or whatever

[21:35:16] it takes forever she has so much health yeah so she is just very weak to some of those items.

[21:35:22] The Snap Seeds are kind of made specifically

[21:35:24] to counter these illusion-type enemies that she is

[21:35:28] as well as the Ash stunlocks her for a very long time.

[21:35:32] Very abnormal for bosses, most bosses don't get staggered that long from the

[21:35:36] Ashe but super powerful against her. We are coming up

[21:35:40] against just two bosses left we're almost done here

[21:35:43] um and next is the guardian ape who the first phase where we're kind of going to do another

[21:35:49] one of these little stun lock things uh the only phase sorry the only

[21:35:53] the one and only phase um but yeah i'll let uh i'll let them talk through it when we get

[21:36:00] there but maybe time for one quick donation as we run over.

[21:36:03] Alrighty, here's $51.90 from Big Ace the Gamer

[21:36:07] that said taking a break

[21:36:08] from struggling with the Elden Ring DLC

[21:36:10] relatable to watch Mitch crush Sakiro

[21:36:13] cheers to Mitch, Aggie Parky and the whole story to watch Mitch crush Sakiro.

[21:36:15] Cheers to Mitch, Aggie Parky and the whole Souls running

[21:36:16] community.

[21:36:19] Yeah, the DLC

[21:36:20] has been a little crazy.

[21:36:23] Painful is the term I would yeah all right so here this is a really fun

[21:36:28] little strap that Mitch will do here he is going to pull up to the guardian ape

[21:36:32] with a jump mortal draw here just to get him started in this stun lock he's gonna do.

[21:36:38] Yeah basically the guardian ape has certain damage thresholds where he is going

[21:36:42] to stagger and during the stagger animation you're going to build up just enough damage

[21:36:47] to hit the next dagger right away as soon as he regains control

[21:36:50] you have to be careful though because if you hit him too many times he'll flip over

[21:36:53] and then run away, but... Yay! We did it! There it is!

[21:36:56] It's over! One bus left!

[21:36:58] Let's go! Nice Mitch.

[21:37:01] That was so easy.

[21:37:03] Let me just stand here and admire my kill while we see the shinobi execution.

[21:37:08] Nice, that's a nice kill!

[21:37:12] In fact, we'll just throw confetti over him

[21:37:14] Just because it's so pretty.

[21:37:17] What?

[21:37:18] Wait a minute! Oh my god.

[21:37:21] Man, they really bait you

[21:37:23] with that one. They give you the execution

[21:37:25] and everything. It's brutal.

[21:37:29] But anyway, this phase 2 is going to be more of an

[21:37:31] actual fight. As you can

[21:37:33] see there's no stun lock or anything it's just

[21:37:35] knowing really good positioning, knowing the

[21:37:37] good times to do do headshots like that

[21:37:40] for example and there it is. Nice! Much more of a fun

[21:37:44] That was beautiful RNG there too

[21:37:48] Yeah basically Yeah, basically they're using the combination of the Yashiriku Sugar and the Mortal Draw.

[21:37:56] We make quick work with him even though he is a very high health boss normally and now we just got one boss left or

[21:38:04] kind of two because it's sort of two bosses uh rolled into one em and Eshin I'm pretty sure that boss comes back by the

[21:38:16] way in one more time right the Guardian ape yeah

[21:38:19] yeah it does come back later but...

[21:38:21] With a girlfriend!

[21:38:23] But that is an optional boss so we are not gonna be fighting it.

[21:38:28] You could fight it right now if you wanted the memory.

[21:38:30] It actually has a very low health boss that

[21:38:33] ties like instantly to Mortal Draw.

[21:38:35] It's a very funny fight to do like that

[21:38:37] but for

[21:38:39] quickness of finishing the game, we're just going to head straight

[21:38:41] to the final boss here. It is very goofy, they give you the mortal draw blade which like kills people for real

[21:38:47] and the guy doesn't use it on the guardian ape for some reason but hey...

[21:38:53] Yeah come one I was using it

[21:38:54] on him the entire fight! I can't finish him off with it at the end?

[21:38:58] Yeah... Alright coming up here is a little

[21:39:02] bit scary there are some enemies that are going to try and hit me

[21:39:05] so I'm taking specific paths

[21:39:07] and specific jumps

[21:39:09] to avoid them. Especially right

[21:39:11] after this next grapple, I've got to jump

[21:39:13] to the side so that I don't get hit by a projectile.

[21:39:17] There he goes, that was closer than it usually is.

[21:39:21] Nah, that was planned.

[21:39:24] Alright and then our final bosses, gotta make sure not to select the wrong option here.

[21:39:29] That has happened before! It's such a bummer!

[21:39:33] Here we go first up is Emma.

[21:39:36] I believe we're just going to trade blows back and forth here.

[21:39:39] You do not want to spam attacks on her

[21:39:42] because she has some nasty counterattacks, so you kind of

[21:39:45] want a little dance with her.

[21:39:50] Yeah, Mitch is going to be fighting her the way you should basically

[21:39:55] Which is one thing I really like about these Sekiro speedruns You just fight bosses as you should.

[21:39:58] Maybe not in a hitless run but...

[21:40:00] I mean even in the hitless run it's pretty

[21:40:02] as intended which both makes it

[21:40:04] very fun to learn but also

[21:40:06] a very difficult run because you don't

[21:40:08] you don't get to use a lot of the cool speedrun tech to make it easier you got

[21:40:11] to just learn to get good here we go final boss

[21:40:14] let's finish strong nice

[21:40:26] I good says longer gonna read boss and then

[21:40:29] discover some jump mds watch the

[21:40:31] jumping bees everyone it's crazy

[21:40:35] look at that posture meter filling so quickly one more

[21:40:42] nice

[21:40:43] and that is the final boss, and you can see how

[21:40:47] strong that was

[21:40:48] very clean fight though, Mitch. Beautiful!

[21:40:51] Time is coming up soon once the credits appear on

[21:40:54] the screen. But yeah there it is

[21:40:57] Took a few hits, its a very hard game

[21:41:00] Hopefully this showed off just how hard that was. I'm still

[21:41:02] pretty happy with that,

[21:41:04] I was nervous especially following PeanutButter

[21:41:06] because you know, how can you follow that?

[21:41:08] But yeah, happy with that run

[21:41:10] Happy to have it and time is coming up right now!

[21:41:15] Time!

[21:41:18] Very very nice run there Mitch.

[21:41:20] Those hits mean nothing.

[21:41:23] Alright thank you so much Games Done Quick for having me

[21:41:26] for yet another time.

[21:41:28] Thank you for bringing in a hitless run.

[21:41:30] It was so cool to do this.

[21:41:33] I don't know why you guys selected me for this,

[21:41:36] This is a really hard run but thank you for giving me the opportunity

[21:41:38] To attempt it

[21:41:40] I was about 50% in practice

[21:41:42] But yeah didn't quite get it here. But yeah, shoutouts to the

[21:41:45] Sekiro community.

[21:41:47] speedrun.com slash sekiro

[21:41:49] and you can find the Discord if you'd like to try

[21:41:51] it out yourself. Or there's also

[21:41:53] Team Hitless that handles more of the hitless stuff

[21:41:56] if you're into more of that rather than speedrunning

[21:41:58] or join both! If you want to do hitless speed running

[21:42:00] like this. Very, very fun

[21:42:02] and yeah, you guys have any shoutouts?

[21:42:04] Just shoutout to you L Midge. You killed it!

[21:42:05] Yeah thanks for having us!

[21:42:06] It was an honor to commentate your run again and it was a honor to watch it.

[21:42:10] It's really great run.

[21:42:11] Yeah thank you guys for helping me out.

[21:42:13] It was awesome and yeah I think we will wrap it up here and send it back to Xenadier.

[21:42:18] Hey! I'm going to chime in real quick here.

[21:42:20] Round of applause, of course. Sorry, I should not interrupt that.

[21:42:23] Fantastic run. Thank you for having me for a third time dude.

[21:42:26] There's been a lot of excitement today Thank you for having me for a third time, dude.

[21:42:31] There's been a lot of excitement today and there's plenty more to go tonight with our room and with our remaining days of SGDQ 2024.

[21:42:33] But we would like to take a moment to take you over to the GDQ Director of Operations.

[21:42:45] All yours.

[21:43:15] Hey everybody Thank you. I decided, hey let's do a little speed running and see what happens.

[21:43:21] It was going to happen at MAGFest but they didn't have any internet so they kicked the differ to their own let's say Mike's basement and that's where

[21:43:25] the event started. I remember watching that first event

[21:43:29] and donating, and remembering

[21:43:32] man I really would love to come

[21:43:34] and attend that event sometime in the future.

[21:43:38] Little did I know a couple years later

[21:43:40] that I would be there and helping out.

[21:43:42] And of course now, basically leading the operation

[21:43:46] but it wouldn't be possible if

[21:43:50] wasn't for Mikey Yama who got this whole ball started so first off

[21:43:55] I want to give a round of applause to Michael Yamaha for taking this game

[21:44:00] quite quick going this game's been put going. Also, I figured I'd drop a few stats on you all.

[21:44:25] We've supported well over half a dozen charities in our history.

[21:44:30] We also have been around for 14 years.

[21:44:36] We have nearly 900,000 donations in our database.

[21:44:42] Yeah, thank you.

[21:44:43] That's a round of applause for all of you for that one.

[21:44:47] That is amazing.

[21:44:50] We also featured over 4500 runs and 4500 prizes

[21:44:55] And the median donation is only $25. So it just goes to show that

[21:45:00] you don't need to donate a ton of money in order to be an impactful donation

[21:45:04] to the GDQ.

[21:45:11] I think there's really not much else that I could say other than thank you

[21:45:12] to everybody who has supported us over these years.

[21:45:17] It would not be possible without all of your support

[21:45:19] and helping us through all this time, and also to

[21:45:24] the volunteers and runners who come and donate their time

[21:45:29] even some money to get here

[21:45:33] it's a

[21:45:35] huge

[21:45:44] gift to us and I really appreciate that. And I'd like to give another round of applause for all the runners

[21:45:46] and staff who've come to these events and help us.

[21:46:06] And finally, thanks to all the staff who are behind the scenes right now watching and making sure that this goes off smoothly.

[21:46:09] Thank you all.

[21:46:10] A little quick round of applause for you guys.

[21:46:19] And finally let's see another 50 million in the future. Let's see what happens. Thank you all so much.

[21:46:30] Thank you thank you. What is up everybody? I am Dragonblitz. This is Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

[21:46:35] Today we are going to be running Reverse Boss Order. It is a wild and crazy ride.

[21:46:39] I hope you guys are strapped in for this one.

[21:46:41] And I'm being accompanied by two lovely friends here,

[21:46:44] if you would like to introduce yourselves?

[21:46:46] Hello! I'm Caveman.

[21:46:47] I like PlayStation games.

[21:46:48] Dragonblitz is my friend.

[21:46:50] Hello! I'm Adiff.

[21:46:51] I like PlayStation games.

[21:46:53] Well they're both actually my friends.

[21:46:54] Oh thank you. That's exciting.

[21:46:56] But yeah this is going to be reverse fast-forwarded as I said

[21:46:58] This is the hardest speedrun category that exists for this game

[21:47:01] Like this is not marathon safe

[21:47:03] This should not be in the marathon. I kind of tricked them into

[21:47:05] letting me do this to be 100% honest with you guys.

[21:47:07] But so I'm not expecting

[21:47:09] things to go perfectly. We have backup saves everywhere.

[21:47:11] We can crash the game. We can softlock.

[21:47:13] Things can go very wrong. It's a glitch heavy run.

[21:47:16] I'm going to be starting the game in luck mode, that is why

[21:47:18] you are seeing this name code up on the screen.

[21:47:20] It essentially changes my stats around

[21:47:22] to make certain glitches possible

[21:47:24] but without further ado let I think we're ready to get into it.

[21:47:27] Let's get started in three two one go just kidding i pressed the wrong button

[21:47:35] keep you guys on your toes three two one 3, 2, 1, go!

[21:47:37] 3, 2, 1, GO. For real this time!

[21:47:40] So this is the prologue for the game we're starting as Richter

[21:47:43] We're not going to be seeing him for very long but during this section of the game

[21:47:46] The things that we do here do impact how

[21:47:48] we're going to be playing as Alucard later. So I'm getting

[21:47:50] a certain number of hearts here because it changes the

[21:47:52] starting items that I get and then I'll be throwing those hearts away

[21:47:54] as well! This gives me access to the

[21:47:56] Neutron Bomb item and the Heart Refresh.

[21:47:57] Both of them are going to be used for glitches later on in the run.

[21:48:00] During this part of the run, I'm gonna be throwing Holy Water on the ground after doing a Hydro Storm

[21:48:03] to do big damage with Dracula. This is called a Damage Stack.

[21:48:06] We don't really know why it happens it's uh kind of random um but if you get

[21:48:10] the insects he dies quicker we didn't get one there we got one there and just a couple of

[21:48:15] blade dashes oh he did jump which is unfortunate that loses a little bit of time but you know, it loses like three to five

[21:48:20] seconds. It's not that big of a deal

[21:48:21] So as I said

[21:48:26] earlier this is a reverse boss order run

[21:48:28] This is going to be very glitch heavy because we have to skip past

[21:48:30] a lot of the intended bosses to get to the end

[21:48:32] of the game, beat the second

[21:48:34] to last final boss because this is a reverse

[21:48:36] boss order run that does end on killing Dracula

[21:48:38] and getting the credits so it's a reverse boss order

[21:48:41] except for that.

[21:48:42] There are other exceptions.

[21:48:43] This is like very loose

[21:48:44] in the definition

[21:48:45] of reverse boss order

[21:48:45] and the way

[21:48:47] that we determine

[21:48:47] the boss order itself

[21:48:49] is the end game tactics menu

[21:48:50] which I will show off later.

[21:48:51] But for now check out this sick damage boost.

[21:48:55] Bam!

[21:48:58] That is called a big toss when

[21:48:59] I take more than half of my health

[21:49:00] and a singular hit perfect number of bats there.

[21:49:02] Perfect number of bats there. You need to kill exactly three

[21:49:06] you have no idea. But yeah if you take more than half

[21:49:10] your health in a single hit you get sent flying and we're actually going to be using that

[21:49:13] to skip past the encounter with death.

[21:49:15] This is a cutscene where he takes away all

[21:49:17] of your powerful starting gear but we just slide on

[21:49:19] pass through and we get to keep

[21:49:21] the Alucard Sword, Alucard Shield, Dragon Helm.

[21:49:24] Very powerful starting scout that lets us do extra damage

[21:49:26] and will be useful for killing

[21:49:28] all the bosses in the reverse order.

[21:49:29] But from here, as I was talking about with the bats

[21:49:32] our experience route is incredibly tight

[21:49:34] every single enemy we kill is scripted because we need to level up in very

[21:49:38] specific spots and our stats seem to be almost exact for a lot of the run in

[21:49:43] order to make these glitches work because a lot of the run in order to make these glitches work

[21:49:44] because a lot of them rely on leveling up,

[21:49:46] that level-up screen right there

[21:49:47] that caused the entire game.

[21:49:49] That needs to happen in very specific spots

[21:49:50] and we're going to be taking advantage of that

[21:49:52] for some glitches

[21:49:53] and we're coming up on one right now as soon as i get my level set

[21:49:56] up gonna kill these two guys leave the room come back do it again kill this guy here and

[21:50:03] now the next enemy i killed these red skeletons don't count as enemies by the way,

[21:50:06] they're just kind of vibing. The next

[21:50:08] enemy I kill will give me a level up so I'm getting that

[21:50:10] guy on the switch, killing him now. He's going to get up later.

[21:50:13] I'm going to lure this axe knight

[21:50:14] over to the side.

[21:50:16] This is one of the most complicated glitches in the game that happens right away.

[21:50:19] This is a pixel perfect, frame perfect level up

[21:50:22] that you're gonna get here...

[21:50:24] Using the map to help buffer the inputs

[21:50:26] Ah! I missed it.

[21:50:28] Map buffering in this game is also frame perfect.

[21:50:30] You have to do frame-perfect inputs.

[21:50:31] This is why we have backup saves literally everywhere

[21:50:33] because otherwise the run would not be able

[21:50:34] to continue there.

[21:50:35] Like I said,

[21:50:36] not the most marathon safe but I'm glad to get to showcase what this game is all

[21:50:41] about when we're glitching through it so again doing the same exact setup here

[21:50:49] it is like I said Frame perfect

[21:50:50] Pixel perfect

[21:50:52] I think we might have got it there

[21:50:53] That looks good to me

[21:50:54] Just gotta wait for the red skeleton

[21:50:56] To wake up

[21:50:56] Lower the elevator

[21:50:57] We jump on

[21:50:58] Jump off As it's going down

[21:51:00] and we got it! Nice!

[21:51:02] I will take a second try. That is one of the hardest

[21:51:04] tricks. Not THE hardest but ONE of the

[21:51:06] hardest. We have right after this

[21:51:08] some more experience routing

[21:51:09] so we're going to be killing specific enemies

[21:51:11] as well as going towards the outer wall.

[21:51:13] The outer wall has some really important stuff for us

[21:51:16] but a lot of that important stuff is guarded by

[21:51:18] a boss fight with Gopal in 10. we can't kill him yet so

[21:51:21] we're gonna have to find a way to skip him the most convenient way to do that

[21:51:24] is to get a library card it's an item that warps you directly to the library which is past him

[21:51:29] on the way, we're also going to be trying to get an item called a Garnet. It's a sellable gem

[21:51:34] which will be useful for Glitch later which is gonna give us essentially infinite money so we

[21:51:38] can turn one gem into essentially infinite.

[21:51:42] But yeah, this is probably the best time to explain

[21:51:44] what it is that I'm doing on the ground here.

[21:51:45] This is called shield dashing.

[21:51:46] This is the fastest form of ground movement

[21:51:48] that we have right now.

[21:51:49] So what I'm doing is I'm pressing shield

[21:51:50] and then back dash,

[21:51:51] then shield, then backdash, then shield, then backdash, then shield,

[21:51:53] over and over again to essentially keep the high starting speed of the backdash

[21:51:58] without dealing with this laggy end part.

[21:52:01] The shield is essentially what cancels it and allows you to do it over

[21:52:04] and over again, but from here we're essentially just setting up some experience and this is

[21:52:09] actually probably one of the best times for donations.

[21:52:12] All righty then I have a $20 donation here for donations

[21:52:18] all righty then i have a 20 donation here from mindel spit that said what is a man you know the rest all right and then i had a 50 dollar

[21:52:22] donation here from sato sotoriu sorry that said sub gdq

[21:52:27] satori uh they say they said sup gdq still in shock of how much we as a community have

[21:52:33] raised for charity after all these years. Keep being awesome

[21:52:36] everyone! Good luck Dragon Blitz with Sotin RBO, you're gonna slay! veteran that's like in there dragon boots can i ask a question of

[21:52:46] course that frame perfect level up thing why what was that yeah that glitch is

[21:52:52] called a reverse shift line uh The name is very fancy,

[21:52:56] but it essentially allows you to skip

[21:52:58] an entire screen length by pausing the screen

[21:53:01] in a specific spot while you're scrolling the camera.

[21:53:04] It's essentially a camera scroll glitch

[21:53:06] that underflows the stored exposition of alucard such that when

[21:53:09] you go through load zone it uh under flows that value and warps your entire screen life um we're

[21:53:14] gonna be doing a very similar glitch here in a second called a shift line it also involves manipulating the camera and

[21:53:21] the edges of screens but instead of warping you an entire screen length

[21:53:24] forward, it allows you to open a hole for you to fall down

[21:53:27] at the edge of a screen and we're going

[21:53:29] to use that to get out of bounds to get through that library card but first

[21:53:32] we're gonna make it a quick pit stop here in the outer wall ask our good

[21:53:35] friend the axe knight to help us out here because there's a ledge we can't

[21:53:38] reach and he's just going

[21:53:40] to push us up there. I love that big toss. It's a good one!

[21:53:44] Now I'm setting up my inventory here

[21:53:48] to set up for that glitch.

[21:53:50] This is the most stressful glitch in the entire run, it is

[21:53:52] again pixel perfect, frame perfect

[21:53:54] if I fail this trick it's like a minute and a half

[21:53:57] to set it back up again so I'm hoping we get a first try

[21:53:59] otherwise we're gonna have lots

[21:54:01] of time for donations which is nice yeah this baby so yeah this is going to

[21:54:05] be all for setting up that shift line glitch the next enemy that i kill will

[21:54:09] give me a level up and i need to set up that level up on

[21:54:12] frame perfect spot. And then

[21:54:14] continue that screen freeze from the level

[21:54:16] with the heart refresh item we got

[21:54:18] because of the way we did the prologue

[21:54:20] So i'm setting up that position right now,

[21:54:23] wait for this guy to throw his bones.

[21:54:29] Oh there we go!

[21:54:30] That was a frame perfect buffer

[21:54:32] that I needed to hit there and I'm glad

[21:54:33] we did it. Okay this is the flashing screen warning in case you guys...I'm sorry

[21:54:37] There's no other way to do this trick. It's going to be very intense so close your eyes

[21:54:41] Look away. It hurts. I'm so sorry. There's no other way to

[21:54:44] do this trick. It'll be over in like 15 seconds.

[21:54:47] I'm looking.

[21:54:48] Oh, no. Okay, there

[21:54:50] we go. That's the library card item. Nice

[21:54:52] job, DB. This gets us past the doppelganger

[21:54:55] fight. Uh, this trick was thought to be

[21:54:56] task only for a very long time

[21:54:59] uh, but we found setups

[21:55:00] like map buffering and um

[21:55:03] like that backdash setup I was doing to make the pixel perfect position easier

[21:55:06] to find, stuff like that.

[21:55:08] As far as I'm aware it's because of the perfect number of bats.

[21:55:10] That is well, that is genuinely part of it.

[21:55:12] The experience route is incredibly tight.

[21:55:14] So speaking of incredibly tight, I need

[21:55:16] some help from my friends here- uh oh!

[21:55:18] I should be fine, 21 health is enough.

[21:55:20] Um... You know what? I'm gonna make

[21:55:22] my life a little bit easier. Get rid of this guy.

[21:55:24] I don't like him. So what I need here is

[21:55:26] I need one of these guys.

[21:55:27] Unfortunately,

[21:55:27] this guy was getting

[21:55:29] a little too close to me.

[21:55:29] I need them to activate

[21:55:30] their lightning sword attack.

[21:55:31] It is random.

[21:55:33] If I take too much damage

[21:55:34] here,

[21:55:35] I'm kind of out of luck.

[21:55:36] He's giving me nothing to work with. There he goes!

[21:55:39] Now we need to lure him all the way to the edge over here

[21:55:41] because we're going to be setting up for yet another big toss.

[21:55:43] I have just barely enough health

[21:55:45] to make this work after taking that damage there.

[21:55:47] So, this is going to be a little bit scary.

[21:55:48] I'm gonna give myself a little more defense.

[21:55:50] Okay.

[21:55:54] I'm gonna wait for the next one.

[21:55:57] This should work nice if you fail that

[21:56:01] you do not have enough health to try again so it's like run over there

[21:56:05] are so many like game determinative run over tricks back to back to

[21:56:09] back. This is legitimately the hardest run

[21:56:11] for a reason. The whole reason

[21:56:13] we did that, by the way, is so we can grab that fairy card relic.

[21:56:15] The fairy is going to be our best friend

[21:56:17] here as she is going to talk to us in just a second

[21:56:20] and her lovely words of encouragement

[21:56:22] are going to cut off

[21:56:24] as I rudely backdash into this room.

[21:56:26] And that overwrites the

[21:56:28] cutscene here so now those two actions happening on top of each other

[21:56:31] allow me to open this menu

[21:56:33] when I'm not supposed to be able to,

[21:56:34] so I sold a garnet as I equipped it

[21:56:36] which under flowed the value from negative one

[21:56:38] to this game doesn't like negative numbers

[21:56:40] so 255 so So I could sell

[21:56:41] a whole bunch of them and I have

[21:56:43] as much money as I need to buy all these super

[21:56:45] powerful stuff. The Jewel of Open I need

[21:56:47] for some

[21:56:49] stuff later on. Duplicator and gauntlet is

[21:56:52] also very, very important

[21:56:54] and some potions

[21:56:56] So the duplicator gives me infinite use of my potions here

[21:56:58] or any throwable or single-use item

[21:57:00] which is incredibly overpowered It does lower my stats but at this point

[21:57:02] our stats are basically at minimum anyway

[21:57:04] so it doesn't really matter. The only

[21:57:06] stat that we do have that's really high is our luck stat

[21:57:08] hence why it's called Luck Mode that we started in

[21:57:10] That was the whole point with the name code etc etc uh now

[21:57:14] that we have all of our potions we have infinite usage of them we can do a lot here um the only

[21:57:20] thing we can't do is jump very high yet.

[21:57:23] We don't have double jump,

[21:57:24] we don't have high jump,

[21:57:25] we don't have flight

[21:57:26] so we're going to quickly get the wolf transformation funny enough

[21:57:30] you wouldn't think that the wolf

[21:57:31] is going to allow you to jump higher

[21:57:33] because it does it on its own

[21:57:34] But there isn't oversight in this game

[21:57:36] Where normally the game expects you

[21:57:38] To only be able to dive kick after a double jump

[21:57:40] Uh but for some reason

[21:57:42] After untransforming from any of the transformations you also get a divekick.

[21:57:46] And that dive kick can be used to gain a little bit of extra height off enemies and candles.

[21:57:52] That wolf relic is locked behind pressing this elevator switch, we're going to come over

[21:57:56] here, press the elevator switch and on top

[21:57:58] of that

[21:57:58] so funny enough not only is this category

[21:58:02] incredibly difficult I also rerouted the entire

[21:58:04] thing two days before the event.

[21:58:05] So that was fun.

[21:58:06] That's good.

[21:58:07] I found a 30-second time save

[21:58:08] that required me to reroute the entire thing,

[21:58:11] but anything to save precious, precious time.

[21:58:13] There is that Soul of Wolf relic.

[21:58:15] Once we untransform from the

[21:58:17] wolf transformation we will have a dive kick which we can use to gain extra

[21:58:21] height as i said but also the wolf is useful on its own both for movement and

[21:58:25] for some glitches coming up later.

[21:58:27] We're going to immediately use it at the end of this marble gallery section here

[21:58:31] to move through the section faster than normal,

[21:58:33] so ground speed with shield dashing is about a little over twice as fast

[21:58:37] as just the normal

[21:58:38] walk speed in this game. So you're basically

[21:58:40] going to be shield dashing everywhere. However,

[21:58:42] the only thing we can't do with shield dashing is we can't

[21:58:44] do it in the air. However,

[21:58:46] the wolf's movement speed is a little bit slower than shield dashing

[21:58:49] but you do get to keep its normal speed in the air.

[21:58:53] So what we're going to be doing is because this section requires a lot of jumps

[21:58:56] but it's mostly horizontal, transforming into the wolf actually ends up being faster during

[21:59:00] this section. It's a little bit harder to control because the Wolf has less options

[21:59:04] of control compared to Alucard, but there's a lot of practice you can get through here

[21:59:07] without taking any damage and I'm hoping to do that here because it saves a lot of time ah didn't

[21:59:12] give that jump there there's a really weird slope jump you have to do so

[21:59:15] it's still worth going for even though we probably broke even uh without

[21:59:18] getting that uh jump there but if I did everything well

[21:59:21] I should have this statue open for me. Okay good. This is called the clock cycle

[21:59:25] essentially there's a statue that moves in and out of your way every other minute

[21:59:29] And if you're fast enough on this category it does not block you at all

[21:59:31] otherwise we'd have to wait essentially an entire minute just chilling there waiting

[21:59:34] for the statue out of the way so we're on great pace all things considered

[21:59:37] so i'm very happy about that okay let's hear it for ClockRush.

[21:59:43] So still a lot more prep we have to do.

[21:59:46] Basically half of this run is prep also big toss.

[21:59:48] Whoa! Good one.

[21:59:49] Yeah you can randomly get stopped on the stairs there

[21:59:51] based off your subpixels because

[21:59:54] of course.

[21:59:55] Um...

[21:59:56] Yeah this run is basically half set up like the first 30 minutes of this run it's collecting

[22:00:01] pieces skipping tons of bosses getting to the end game,

[22:00:04] unlocking warps like I just did right there.

[22:00:06] Anytime you enter a warp room, it saves

[22:00:08] it for you to come back to later

[22:00:09] essentially at any point in time.

[22:00:12] Gains a spell to get past this guy,

[22:00:13] there we go.

[22:00:14] Both spells and potions

[22:00:15] give you invincibility

[22:00:16] by the way,

[22:00:16] that's why I'm just like

[22:00:17] phasing through these enemies

[22:00:18] so I'm just trying

[22:00:20] to stay invincible

[22:00:20] to not die

[22:00:21] because those enemies

[22:00:22] can kill you

[22:00:22] even one hit

[22:00:23] if you are

[22:00:23] trying to mess with them,

[22:00:25] and you should not try and mess with them.

[22:00:27] So coming up here we're in the Coliseum because again like I said we're trying to set up there

[22:00:31] is the form of mist here which is required to get the soul of bat. The best relic in the game for movement and glitches

[22:00:36] and all sorts of fun stuff.

[22:00:37] But it's locked behind a boss fight so I'm setting up yet another

[22:00:40] incredibly convoluted trick

[22:00:42] here to try and get it.

[22:00:44] I'll explain it after I do the trick because, yeah...

[22:00:47] That was frame one.

[22:00:50] That was frame two, I believe?

[22:00:51] If this doesn't work,

[22:00:53] Yeah that was actually frame 1

[22:00:54] I think this isn't gonna work

[22:00:56] Okay, I can set it up

[22:00:57] again. It's not the end of the world. I do need to get a

[22:00:59] little bit more experience. This is where the experience

[22:01:01] gets a little bit loosey and that's fine.

[22:01:04] 212. Okay. So I

[22:01:05] need to level up on a very specific spot and these guys happen

[22:01:08] to give a lot of experience which is nice.

[22:01:10] I should still get big toss by this guy but just in case...

[22:01:15] I think yeah, this is fine. So I'm going to set this up again.

[22:01:18] Again, this is one of the most complicated tricks you need like a spreadsheet

[22:01:21] to understand all the frames of possible animation

[22:01:24] to know exactly what to do and I do not have that with me

[22:01:27] so...I have it all memorized kind of

[22:01:32] dang it's fine we set up again i do need to heal

[22:01:38] if we can get past this, it should be smooth sailing until the next trick that could end

[22:01:42] this run.

[22:01:43] So you know...

[22:01:44] There we go!

[22:01:48] First frame.

[22:01:50] Dang, these map buffers are incredibly difficult as well

[22:01:54] because there is no...the game runs at 60 FPS so every time I'm opening the

[22:01:58] map, I have to close within one I have to close the map within one frame

[22:02:00] and then reopen the map within one frame

[22:02:02] if I want to advance the game state by exactly one frame.

[22:02:04] So even the map buffers have to be difficult.

[22:02:08] That's second frame that's fine.

[22:02:12] That's second frame, that's fine. That's first frame. There we go.

[22:02:14] Okay so here I'm going to fall through the floor again

[22:02:16] and transform into Wolf on the way down

[22:02:18] this is gonna put me in the boss room but I can leave

[22:02:20] on the other side and that gets me to the form of this.

[22:02:24] I feel like it's also worth mentioning

[22:02:26] that the button you're using

[22:02:28] to open the map is a trigger?

[22:02:30] It's not a button! So this and the- So this is a frame perfect

[22:02:33] press unpress of an analog

[22:02:35] object? Uh, the trigger activates

[22:02:37] around 70% uh,

[22:02:39] press down. Not like 100%, not like

[22:02:41] any pressure it's 70%. So you need to know how to frame perfectly hit 70 of the

[22:02:46] actuation of this trigger so time works every time that's what they've said you know what i

[22:02:51] know this is a thing i know this This is actually, this is nuts.

[22:02:53] This room is scary hold on.

[22:02:54] Perfect number of bats son.

[22:02:56] Please hit me. Yes.

[22:02:57] I wanna get hit there the right way not the wrong waaaaayyyy!

[22:02:59] Okay we're fine.

[22:03:00] If you get shot uh you die.

[22:03:02] Yo turns out gun beats vampire

[22:03:05] Yeah those bone muskets are one shot yeah so

[22:03:07] DB tried to de-boost get some invisibility frames

[22:03:09] Get right through and hit the shield rod

[22:03:11] Everything is working out great cause this shield rod

[22:03:13] Is very powerful we're activating the shield rod spell right here, that's all reason we went into that room

[22:03:17] because the shield rod when it's applied to the Alucard Shield,

[22:03:20] that starting shield that we basically smuggled through Death's Room

[22:03:24] is incredibly powerful if it touches an enemy

[22:03:26] it does 255 damage every

[22:03:28] 6 frames.

[22:03:30] That's a lot of damage by the way I'm supposed to be doing like

[22:03:32] 10 damage for

[22:03:34] a punch or something like that. That seems better.

[22:03:37] It's very good, and also invincible when I'm hitting stuff with it.

[22:03:41] That is why I am flashing white like that.

[22:03:43] So as long as I am flashing white, I am invincible.

[22:03:46] Again this is a reverse boss order run.

[22:03:47] I want to make that 100% clear. Reverse boss

[22:03:50] order, we are doing the bosses in the reverse

[22:03:52] intended order. This is Lesser Demon.

[22:03:54] He's sometimes a boss, but in this category

[22:03:56] he's not!

[22:03:58] Yeah, I'm going gonna explain that in just a second here

[22:04:00] because the way we define reverse

[22:04:02] boss order in this game is silly

[22:04:04] cause there's no official boss order. This game is incredibly

[22:04:06] open you can tackle it in various different ways especially once

[22:04:09] you get to the second castle. You can do all sorts of stuff!

[22:04:11] So for us to find an order that's considered

[22:04:13] the official order by the game we were looking at

[22:04:15] the games menus. Which menus have a static

[22:04:17] order every single time? One of those menus, the one that we chose

[22:04:20] to use, the only menu that has a static

[22:04:22] order is this menu right here, the tactics menu.

[22:04:24] And you will notice there is no lesser demon on that menu.

[22:04:26] I don't see him. He's not a boss. As far as

[22:04:28] we're concerned he doesn't exist. I saw Dracula and that's it. Just a guy. He's not a boss. As far as we're concerned, he doesn't exist. I saw Dracula and that's it.

[22:04:30] Just the guy.

[22:04:32] Yeah, Dracula is a boss and we saw him at the prologue

[22:04:34] but Lesser Demon? I don't know that guy.

[22:04:36] It says lesser in the name.

[22:04:38] Exactly. If there were a major demon, yeah he would show up

[22:04:41] as a boss for sure. He actually gets demoted

[22:04:43] to regular enemy in the second castle anyways

[22:04:45] Bro you hate to see that

[22:04:46] Dude when an enemy in an RPG goes from like

[22:04:49] boss to one chapter later enemy I mean that's gotta suck he just didn't do

[22:04:55] yeah and there's 12 of them purr he's like am i special anymore so uh the thing you're seeing

[22:04:59] me do in bat form by the way since we have the soul of that is called

[22:05:02] Wing Smashing. It's a very powerful

[22:05:04] spell. You are fully invincible and charging

[22:05:06] through the air very quickly but it does come at

[22:05:08] a cost. The input to activate

[22:05:10] it is a very complicated input. It is hold jump,

[22:05:13] do three-fourths of a circle

[22:05:15] motion on the control stick

[22:05:17] and then release the jump button. Please don't hit me.

[22:05:19] And it requires 8 MP

[22:05:21] and since we started in luck mode our MP bar is very low. We don't have a lot of magic to work with.

[22:05:26] If you look at the top left hand corner I'm refilling it with Mana Prisms

[22:05:30] However every activation of the wing smash input

[22:05:34] chunks my M key bar down.

[22:05:36] Not only that, if you want to continue in

[22:05:38] the fast wing smashing speed flying around

[22:05:40] like this, you have to re-up that

[22:05:42] three quarter circle motion on the control stick every

[22:05:45] 63 frames or less, or else

[22:05:47] you get forcibly dropped out of that input.

[22:05:49] And in this category in particular, if you're

[22:05:51] forcibly ejected from an

[22:05:53] invincible tackle right onto an enemy's face,

[22:05:55] you can just die.

[22:05:57] Because we don't have enough health or defense to defend against that.

[22:05:59] That was Gravity Boots by the way.

[22:06:01] It is a very powerful relic that allows us to do very big jumps

[22:06:04] and we're going to be using it in just a second here

[22:06:06] but the tricks don't stop there because we're immediately going to be

[22:06:08] using the wolf for a floor clip

[22:06:10] to get out of bounds into an

[22:06:12] area we're not supposed to be in yet.

[22:06:14] This is again... You know what? If you've seen me open the map, it's frame

[22:06:17] perfect, it's pixel perfect, I promise you.

[22:06:19] But yeah, getting through the floor there is incredibly difficult.

[22:06:21] The map does help, but now we're on

[22:06:23] the floor, flying to the left, wing smashing

[22:06:25] from out of bounds, refilling our MP, sliding down. The game

[22:06:28] constantly pushes you down when you're out of bounds

[22:06:30] to try and push you back inbounds. You touch a load zone

[22:06:32] from out-of-bounds that gets us to this elevator

[22:06:34] puts us all the way down here

[22:06:36] And this is the area where normally,

[22:06:37] this is like near the end of the first half

[22:06:39] of the game.

[22:06:40] Where you get the holy glasses to go save Richter

[22:06:42] and then go to the second castle.

[22:06:45] And that requires a whole quest

[22:06:46] of killing some bosses, finding extra armor

[22:06:49] doing all sorts of stuff that takes like a casual player powers

[22:06:53] legitimately. And we just skip all of that. Also we would be locked down here because

[22:06:57] we didn't open the floor normally however However, the gravity jump clips us through

[22:07:00] that floor there exactly once. If you have

[22:07:02] loaded that floor in at

[22:07:04] all it doesn't allow you to clip through so because that was

[22:07:06] the first time that floor had been loaded since

[22:07:08] activating the elevator we were allowed to click through specifically

[22:07:10] with the gravity bro you could be making all this up this is 100 real also we're doing that

[22:07:14] clip again and i got a first try again dude i'm kind of gaming though and this gets us

[22:07:19] into the underground caverns that one isn't required for

[22:07:21] the run but it does save like 40 seconds so might as well do it you know it's just frame perfect

[22:07:26] pixel whatever it's fine uh the reason we're down here by the way is because

[22:07:30] uh like we did earlier

[22:07:31] we grabbed a warp in the

[22:07:33] All Rocks' quarters and this area

[22:07:35] has a warp for us.

[22:07:37] One of the reasons why we're going out of our way for these warps

[22:07:39] is because this is a reverse boss order and that order

[22:07:42] is incredibly arbitrary as you already saw one of the bosses doesn't even count so it's an

[22:07:46] incredibly arbitrary way to get through the game so in order to minimize the amount of backtracking

[22:07:50] there's going to be bad tracking but the way to minimize the amount we'retracking, there's going to be backtracking. The way to minimize the amount that

[22:07:53] we're going to be doing is we are going to collect

[22:07:55] as many warps as we can in

[22:07:57] most convenient spots that we can and then

[22:07:59] using those warps to transition between

[22:08:01] certain areas,

[22:08:04] certain bosses as quickly as you can.

[22:08:06] Unfortunately we are playing on the Xbox version of the game which is incredibly fast for load times

[22:08:08] there's no slowdown, no lag

[22:08:10] probably the best version of the game to play

[22:08:12] casually in my opinion.

[22:08:14] Konami, could we get a re-release of this version, please?

[22:08:16] But the only downside is we do not have access

[22:08:19] to a Player 2.

[22:08:20] Xbox does not register Player 2s.

[22:08:22] It uses a profile system.

[22:08:23] So we can't use the debug code to blow up

[22:08:25] the bridge, we have to blow it manually with the Donkey Kong skeleton.

[22:08:27] That loses us maybe 20 seconds over PlayStation but the rest of the run is so much faster

[22:08:31] Another skip! This is Cerberus, a boss

[22:08:33] We don't want to fight him so we're going to use this door

[22:08:36] to push us through the floor. Again incredibly precise I'm so happy

[22:08:40] that hit because I was messing it up in practice. So we are just kind of scooting along the floor here

[22:08:44] If we were to transform right now we would get clipped back inbounds

[22:08:46] but we're gonna transform over on this corner which lets

[22:08:48] us leave the boss room not having to fight him

[22:08:50] yet! His time will come

[22:08:52] his time will come

[22:08:54] it comes for us all, including Cerberus.

[22:08:56] And the whole reason we come down here is because there's a warp here.

[22:08:59] We collect that warp.

[22:09:00] This is part of the reroute I was talking about that saves 30 seconds.

[22:09:03] I'm actually using the warp instead of collecting it and then library carting away

[22:09:06] to save some time backtracking using the warp instead of collecting it and then library carting away to actually save a little bit

[22:09:08] of time in a backtracking section.

[22:09:10] I literally routed that out like,

[22:09:12] I don't know, two days before I went on my flight

[22:09:14] to come here, and I'm so happy that it's actually

[22:09:16] being shown off for the first time in a run like this.

[22:09:18] This is a never-before seen route as well on top of that, yeah.

[22:09:23] DragonBlitz?

[22:09:24] What's up?

[22:09:25] You're so cool.

[22:09:26] Thanks, ADef.

[22:09:27] You're so cool! I was asking asking for b def to be on the couch but

[22:09:30] i'm happy you're here no he's not uh he's not answering my phone right now or my calls yeah

[22:09:36] he's big time hollywood holly dude. I don't know what to do.

[22:09:39] So we're here in the clock tower.

[22:09:41] This area can be a little scary if these harpies hit me.

[22:09:44] I get big tossed.

[22:09:45] It doesn't kill me necessarily but being big toss in a room like this you

[22:09:48] could get comboed out of it.

[22:09:51] I wasn't meant to do that!

[22:09:54] Anyways...

[22:09:55] That level up is also weird but we're fine.

[22:09:57] That was the noise YOU just made.

[22:10:00] We are here at Karasuman, another boss fight

[22:10:03] and you might be thinking to yourself

[22:10:04] Okay is this a boss? Is he not a boss? What's going on here?

[22:10:07] No he's a boss so we are gonna come back to him later

[22:10:09] But he's actually a homie.

[22:10:11] He's going to help us out because we're not supposed

[22:10:12] to be here yet, but on the other side of him

[22:10:14] is the end of the first castle,

[22:10:16] so he's going to help us get through the back door here.

[22:10:19] Thank you very much. Very kind of you.

[22:10:21] That looked remarkably easy?

[22:10:24] It was, actually!

[22:10:26] That clip is called a half-blood tech

[22:10:28] I don't know why

[22:10:30] I think it was named by a Japanese runner in like 2007 or something like that.

[22:10:33] Um, I actually don't know the lore behind that but...

[22:10:35] It sounds cool.

[22:10:36] It does sound cool.

[22:10:37] Sometimes people just be naming trick names as a cool thing just to do it.

[22:10:40] Yeah essentially if you get big tossed while your in bat form

[22:10:42] In a corner of a room It just clips you through the floor to do it. Yeah, essentially if you get big tossed while you're in bat form

[22:10:43] in a corner of the room, it just clips you through the floor

[22:10:46] We got the leapstone finally we can now double jump and dive kick on our own which is really useful

[22:10:49] for movement and were immediately transitioning into

[22:10:52] another pixel perfect frame perfect well its not pixel perfect perfect, frame perfect.

[22:10:54] Well it's not pixel perfect but it is frame perfect trick here

[22:10:56] but there is no map buffer setup so I just have to land a

[22:10:59] frame perfect trick right there and then I have to not soft lock

[22:11:02] Okay we're good. That's richter skip there's many ways for

[22:11:06] that to go very very wrong and there's many ways

[22:11:08] to skip him but essentially the fastest way is to

[22:11:10] jump into that room with a very particular wolf jump such as the room

[22:11:14] uh detector that essentially

[22:11:16] is like, hey, is Alucard in this room? If yes,

[22:11:18] load the Richter boss fight. We just

[22:11:20] skip past that detector with a very

[22:11:22] precise jump as I said

[22:11:24] and then Richter never loads in and we can go straight

[22:11:26] to the second castle here, let me be careful. Yep

[22:11:30] these guys can kill me so i'm just waiting for my MP if I don't wing smash through them

[22:11:34] things get very complicated very quickly

[22:11:36] there we go yeah now that we're in the second castle this game is known for its

[22:11:41] e like wild uh what's the word i'm thinking of difficulty curve

[22:11:45] like the difficulty spike in the second castle is

[22:11:48] wild. So everything will

[22:11:50] essentially one-shot us unless we are

[22:11:51] very well set up for it and have max

[22:11:54] HP. Medusa, similar to

[22:11:56] Karasumon, is also a homie.

[22:11:57] Similar to the hitbox shang as we did before

[22:12:00] thankfully Medusa has one of the thickest hitboxes around

[22:12:03] We're just going to let her push us out-of-bounds

[22:12:06] and there we go! That you'll love to see it let me go ahead

[22:12:13] and get the mana prism back on here don't yep the invincibility from potions

[22:12:18] is incredibly clutch,

[22:12:19] because if I landed on that balloon pod without invincibility

[22:12:21] I would die! I would explode into blood. It would not be fun.

[22:12:26] And... From here we're essentially bee-lining it

[22:12:29] now that we are in the second castle

[22:12:30] to the first boss of the run. How long

[22:12:32] have we been playing? 25 minutes? Yeah! That sounds about

[22:12:34] time for the first boss, right?

[22:12:36] But before we get there, there is a heart refresh

[22:12:38] item down here. We had to exhaust our one heart refresh from the

[22:12:41] start in order to slide

[22:12:43] into the floor and get that library card from earlier

[22:12:45] so this is just a convenient heart refresh

[22:12:47] to pick up now. There's only like

[22:12:49] I think four in the game?

[22:12:52] It's an incredibly rare item.

[22:12:54] But the fact that you start with one is

[22:12:56] so lucky for us! Otherwise

[22:12:58] this run would not be possible. Can it

[22:13:00] be duplicated? Yes, in fact it can! That's one of the reasons why

[22:13:02] we lost it before is because we didn't have the duplicator

[22:13:04] but now that we have the duplicator, we can use

[22:13:06] that heart refresh as many times as you want and

[22:13:08] that is an item that causes a screen freeze

[22:13:10] similar to a level up.

[22:13:15] So any screen freeze can cause those reverse shift line glitches,

[22:13:17] shift line glitches, so long as you set them up properly.

[22:13:19] For us it's very convenient.

[22:13:20] Please don't touch me!

[22:13:22] Sorry. It's very stressful when you're

[22:13:24] expecting a Wingsmash to come out and it doesn't,

[22:13:26] then in Alucard form like

[22:13:28] please don't touch me

[22:13:30] because I will die!

[22:13:32] But from here there is one instance of an enemy that I'm kind of scared of.

[22:13:36] After that, our chances of dying are a lot lower because now

[22:13:40] our health can be whatever value we want. We don't have to big toss anymore for the rest of the run,

[22:13:45] so my shield rod is active, right?

[22:13:47] Yeah, it is. Okay, good. Yeah, we have to kill

[22:13:49] the guardians here, but they kill me in one hit,

[22:13:51] but if I can get the shield rod inside of their hitbox

[22:13:53] before they touch me...

[22:13:54] It's fine. inside of their hitbox before they touch me.

[22:13:58] It's fine. The reason we kill them is because they give a ton

[22:14:00] of experience, I just went from like level 8 to

[22:14:02] level 22 so now

[22:14:04] I'm gonna be set on a lot of things.

[22:14:06] This is another reverse shift line,

[22:14:07] I am walking forward using the screen freeze

[22:14:09] back dashing out of it and if I do everything correctly here

[22:14:12] there shouldn't be a screen freeze but there might be

[22:14:14] so brace yourselves.

[22:14:17] Okay,

[22:14:18] we're going to have a slight flash and that's it. Okay, good.

[22:14:21] If I mess that up big time, you can see a screen

[22:14:23] flash for like 35 seconds. It's not fun.

[22:14:25] I'm so glad that that didn't happen. We should have no screen flashes

[22:14:28] for the rest of the run, thankfully.

[22:14:30] There's like no reason for it to ever happen.

[22:14:32] From here, this is

[22:14:34] finally the first boss fight!

[22:14:36] We did it!

[22:14:38] Wait a minute, we're a bit deep into the game I think.

[22:14:40] First guy? Yeah

[22:14:42] His name is Shaft. He is a boss

[22:14:44] fight that is connected with

[22:14:46] the Dracula fight. So once

[22:14:49] we kill him, it will immediately

[22:14:51] warp us to the Dracula fight

[22:14:53] But we're not ready

[22:14:55] to fight Dracula yet! He's the very final boss

[22:14:57] of this run so we can get to the end credits and finish the game with the reverse boss order as much as we possibly can.

[22:15:03] So we have to find a way to leave this boss room. It's going to load in the whole cinematic etc., etc..

[22:15:09] There is a way to do it where you do that

[22:15:10] half blood tech in the corner, its very slow

[22:15:14] I think a task can make it faster but you could easily crash the game doing so

[22:15:18] So im doing an alternate strat where I just use the library card.

[22:15:21] I was about to say, why not just use the library card?

[22:15:23] You're so smart, Adaf, and cool,

[22:15:25] and handsome!

[22:15:27] There are some implications of

[22:15:29] library-carding out there. We now have to do the richter skip again yes that

[22:15:33] is true yes richter is still waiting for us but it's not his time dude i hate him bro yeah he's

[22:15:39] the worst one of the other implications funny enough we've killed Shaft but he didn't disappear.

[22:15:43] He's still there but we're not allowed to kill him again

[22:15:46] because it ruins the boss order. So we have to skier past

[22:15:49] him next time which is going to be a very fun time for I think

[22:15:53] many people watching. So from

[22:15:55] here we're kinda just doing some backtracking so this

[22:15:57] is yet another fantastic time for donations before

[22:15:59] we get to the next boss. This goes down in there

[22:16:01] Alrighty, here's $100 from Quest that said

[22:16:04] my fiancé introduced me to Kingdom Hearts as one of his favorite

[22:16:06] childhood game series has become nostalgic for me

[22:16:08] as well and I can't wait to see it run.

[22:16:10] Let's get that critical mode incentive!

[22:16:13] And thank you for that. I would like to update you all that we are at 4-0 Let's get that critical mode incentive.

[22:16:13] And thank you for that, I would like to update you all

[22:16:15] that we are at $41,269 of the $100,000 needed.

[22:16:20] That means we need 58,000 more

[22:16:22] and there is less than an hour before we get there what just happened sorry

[22:16:28] the most ridiculous version of richter skip with no setup and it just worked out you nailed

[22:16:33] it hey yeah clap for that!

[22:16:38] The reason is like a second because you don't have to break the brick and

[22:16:41] that brick makes the hitbox easier to skip past

[22:16:44] And I said, you know what? I'll just go for brakeless if we hit it great

[22:16:45] If not, you know?

[22:16:46] And I happened to hit it so that makes me feel

[22:16:47] really good inside.

[22:16:48] That one second

[22:16:48] is going to put us

[22:16:49] with one second underestimate.

[22:16:50] Let's go.

[22:16:51] True.

[22:16:54] Alrighty, mind if

[22:16:54] I take it back over

[22:16:55] Of course, keep going. I'll let you know. Alrighty, sorry. So take it back over? Of course. Keep going.

[22:16:56] Alrighty, sorry.

[22:16:57] So we're at 41,000 of the 100,000 needed for that Kingdom Hearts 2 final mix upgrade to level 1 critical mode.

[22:17:03] That means we need about $58,000 more and we have under an hour to do it.

[22:17:08] This run is already at the 30 minute mark

[22:17:10] and there's maybe a 15 minute recap

[22:17:12] after that. The time is now. We need

[22:17:14] your help. And when we finish that incentive

[22:17:16] it's going to put us at like a healthy

[22:17:17] 980,000.

[22:17:18] So close to a million.

[22:17:20] We're coming.

[22:17:21] I think we can get a little close to that million.

[22:17:22] You know what?

[22:17:23] I think we could probably get it.

[22:17:24] I mean if we really come together, we could do it by the end of this round.

[22:17:26] We'll get a million dollars!

[22:17:31] I don't know audience, you think we can get towards a million in this run?

[22:17:35] Twitch chat, I'm gonna need some energy from you too. We absolutely can just remember when you are putting in your donation,

[22:17:39] You have to go to the bottom and specifically select that incentive

[22:17:43] If you do not it just goes to the bank which is great

[22:17:46] We want those donations but we also wanna see more GDQ

[22:17:49] We wanna see more epic speedruns

[22:17:50] and challenges so please assign your

[22:17:52] donations to especially the

[22:17:54] upgrade to level 1 critical mode

[22:17:56] We would really appreciate it

[22:17:58] So now we're here in the reverse caverns,

[22:18:01] making our way towards the reverse mines. This is where the boss fight

[22:18:05] with Death is, that guy who we skipped at the very beginning of the run. It's not his

[22:18:09] time yet so we'll have to do Death Skip again, what I like

[22:18:12] to call Death Skip 2.

[22:18:14] If Death Skip is so good... Might as well

[22:18:16] do it again. Why isn't there a Death Skip 2?

[22:18:18] Yeah that's why we invented a Death Skip 2 for this category

[22:18:20] exactly, exactly. This area is very scary

[22:18:22] if I drop a wing smash I die! And like I said it's a very

[22:18:26] complicated input. I'm constantly doing 3 quarter circle motions on the d-pad while

[22:18:30] also trying to control my height in specific ways.

[22:18:32] I cannot stress how, like that is the hard part of most Symphony

[22:18:36] of the Night speedruns is the wing smash controls.

[22:18:39] So this trick is going to be kind of difficult to explain.

[22:18:42] It's called a screen grab

[22:18:44] so i'm getting him the second phase so he's out of my face i do not want him

[22:18:47] anywhere near me uh i'm going to use two heart

[22:18:50] refreshes if one heart refresh is broken two

[22:18:52] it's probably also broken that's not the right setup

[22:18:54] I don't have a lot of time to set this up

[22:18:56] so I'm a little nervous

[22:18:57] That should work

[22:19:00] So now from here

[22:19:01] I'm going to buffer each heart refresh input back-to-back. Now that I have two I can put to buffer each Heart Refresh input back-to-back.

[22:19:04] Now that I have two, I can put one on each hand, alternate hands

[22:19:08] and out of the Heart Refresh input you can buffer another input

[22:19:11] so I am constantly spending these Heart Refresh inputs over and over again

[22:19:14] And you'll notice that Alucard is shifting to the left

[22:19:16] every single time a hard refresh animation plays,

[22:19:19] but the camera's locked in place.

[22:19:21] This desyncs the camera and Alucard's position

[22:19:23] such that after awhile while, when I let

[22:19:26] go and let the game return to normal

[22:19:28] speed, the camera is going to snap

[22:19:30] to Alucard's position. But he's really far to the left

[22:19:32] and the collision of the game doesn't quite

[22:19:34] keep up and he'll fall through the floor within one frame essentially

[22:19:39] and it lets us go out-of-bounds.

[22:19:41] This is a trick that requires

[22:19:43] a ton of hard refresh animations.

[22:19:45] This one's like 25 I think for this room so you don't want to do it because

[22:19:48] it takes a long time unless you absolutely have to there is one other way to skip death

[22:19:52] but it's actually a minute slower because it requires a library card and then backtracking

[22:19:56] through the entirety of the first castle again

[22:19:58] and the second castle up to this point. So for the rest of this trick, this would be a great time for donations

[22:20:02] Alrighty, then I have a $250 donation

[22:20:06] here from... is it Bejamis?

[22:20:09] Vegemis? Well, they said let's go DB

[22:20:13] one of my favorite streamers playing one of my favorite games showing smooth movement and amazing tricks

[22:20:17] on the GDQ main stage for such a wonderful

[22:20:20] cause. Thank you for that $250.

[22:20:22] We also had $10 here from

[22:20:24] Dracula's Castle HR

[22:20:26] director? Oh no, I hate this guy.

[22:20:28] Yeah, they said the lesser demon was tired of being

[22:20:30] disrespected and has put in his two weeks notice.

[22:20:34] Looks like we need a new

[22:20:34] HR director.

[22:20:36] Look, it's expected. It's disappointing

[22:20:38] but it's expected. Don't try to be lesser yeah i mean we've got

[22:20:41] an even more lesser demon that we're just going to bump up so you know his loss all right

[22:20:47] we're coming up on the end of this check here so take note

[22:20:49] of alucard's position here i'm going to do an

[22:20:51] extra hard refresh just to be safe because we fail this trick it's like a three minute time

[22:20:55] loss so this should work um and slip on through.

[22:21:01] And there we go!

[22:21:03] That is one of the tricks that I'm most nervous about.

[22:21:06] It should be free if I have the correct setup,

[22:21:08] but if you are ever so slightly wrong

[22:21:11] on your starting position, it changes the number

[22:21:13] of heart refreshes you have to do

[22:21:15] and your positioning. So

[22:21:17] you kind of just have to wing it and hope that

[22:21:19] it works out. It's very consistent but

[22:21:21] the 98% chance for it to go right

[22:21:24] means that there is a 100% chance

[22:21:26] for it to go wrong sometimes.

[22:21:28] That math checks out.

[22:21:30] But now, that's like the last major skip of the run

[22:21:32] and you get to enter phase two

[22:21:34] of this run which is kind of the reverse boss rush

[22:21:37] right now we're gonna go from boss to boss and uh

[22:21:41] kind of just show them what's up tell them that uh

[22:21:43] you know we're tired of

[22:21:45] them existing I guess?

[22:21:47] I'm not quite sure what the lore is here.

[22:21:49] Wait, that room was sick!

[22:21:53] So, we're coming up on the hardest, most difficult,

[22:21:56] most crazy, most wild boss in the entire game, Galamoth.

[22:22:00] He is the super secret mega-boss with more health than even

[22:22:03] the final boss Dracula himself.

[22:22:04] 12,000 HP and I'm honestly a little bit nervous if

[22:22:08] there only was a way to... oh yeah! Shieldrod where are you going? He's not supposed

[22:22:12] go that way. Anyways, yeah shield rod OP we're invincible

[22:22:15] we're doing max cap damage.

[22:22:16] Boss down! Boss down!

[22:22:19] Without shield rod that guy is such a jerk there is an AI like manip you can do to lock him in place

[22:22:24] but that boss fight legitimately with the equipment i have would take like six minutes

[22:22:30] versus you know like 15 seconds but now the next boss oh the sound effects sorry

[22:22:35] that sound was hilarious do you want to hear an even better one?

[22:22:37] I would please, yeah.

[22:22:38] Oh, I know what it is.

[22:22:39] Hold on, let me set it up.

[22:22:42] It's a good room.

[22:22:43] It's like when a skeleton's playing their ribcage

[22:22:45] with his xylophone.

[22:22:47] Yeah this game is full of all sorts

[22:22:49] of wonderful sound design, music

[22:22:51] sprite work... it's literally a masterpiece

[22:22:53] of art. I love it to death. It's my favorite video

[22:22:55] game of all time. And I'm so happy to showcase

[22:22:57] it here for all of you lovely folks.

[22:22:59] And thank you all for, uh, donating to a fantastic cause!

[22:23:02] Like, GDQ is the reason I started speedrunning and

[22:23:05] the fact that, um...it's still kicking many, many years later

[22:23:08] I've been speedrunning this game a long time. Almost 11 years and I'm so happy to be part of it.

[22:23:13] Next boss coming up is Beelzebub. You might think no don't you mean Bielzabub? No its Beezlebub.

[22:23:19] It's a typo inside the game when you look him up in the

[22:23:21] bestiary. He is a giant

[22:23:23] hanging

[22:23:25] decoded body

[22:23:27] who summons flies. He's really

[22:23:29] everybody's nightmare fuel if you played this game

[22:23:31] like as a young adult or child or even an

[22:23:33] adult full grown adult you might still be scared

[22:23:35] so you know i honestly i'm i don't i'm scared

[22:23:39] do you have adf there to hold you in case you are scared?

[22:23:41] Thank you for being honest with us.

[22:23:43] I have something that might cheer you up, can I do my impression of Dragon Blitz?

[22:23:46] Yes.

[22:23:47] Please don't touch me!

[22:23:49] I got that from YOU bro!

[22:23:51] I'm literally copying YOU.

[22:23:53] Holy cow, I just thought there were two of you.

[22:23:55] The speed noises per

[22:23:57] minute density that has been on display

[22:23:59] in this run is incredible.

[22:24:01] Oh... oh no. This is normally the laggiest room is incredible. Oh no, this

[22:24:04] is normally the

[22:24:04] laggiest room in

[22:24:05] the game if we

[22:24:05] were playing on

[22:24:06] PlayStation and

[22:24:06] one of the reasons

[22:24:07] why playing on

[22:24:07] PlayStation can be

[22:24:08] a little bit sketchy

[22:24:09] in some places.

[22:24:10] By the way,

[22:24:11] if you do want to

[22:24:12] play on PlayStation

[22:24:12] the route is exactly the same between Xbox and PlayStation

[22:24:14] which is really nice.

[22:24:16] There's a handful of minor differences

[22:24:18] The Xbox version just loads faster

[22:24:20] and has less lag so

[22:24:22] it's one of those things. Another cool boss kill coming up here.

[22:24:25] What I'm doing here is I'm die-kicking off at the enemy

[22:24:27] in midair to keep the shield inside of him as long

[22:24:29] as possible. Otherwise we'd have like 1 or 2

[22:24:31] ticks where the shield wouldn't

[22:24:33] kill him in time and you would have to get back up there again

[22:24:36] then he would actually fight back.

[22:24:38] That's basically

[22:24:40] long short of how

[22:24:42] boss fights are going to go

[22:24:44] in this run is we just want to get inside of them with the shield

[22:24:47] inside their face as quickly as possible and keep the shield inside of

[22:24:50] them until they die. There's various different ways to do that, and

[22:24:54] optimizations we can do like this next boss fight coming up here,

[22:24:57] this is the Castlevania 3 trio.

[22:24:59] If you've ever played Castlevania 3, it's all of your friends

[22:25:01] but they're evil this time? What?!

[22:25:04] The way that we're

[22:25:05] going to do this boss fight is we're actually gonna sweep from left to right,

[22:25:08] essentially knocking the

[22:25:10] enemies into each other to just

[22:25:12] basically walk through the room like this.

[22:25:14] So we start with this guy, walk to the left, he gets knocked back,

[22:25:17] then we sweep up to

[22:25:17] the top over there and they are doneza the whole

[22:25:22] the whole canon of the castlevania anime just shuddered as you

[22:25:25] well grant wasn't even in it. Yeah, you know.

[22:25:29] Maybe in the Japanese version of the anime he's in it.

[22:25:31] He'd probably be named Ralph.

[22:25:33] Shout out to Ralph Belmont, my favorite Belmont.

[22:25:35] Belmondo.

[22:25:38] Let's hear for Ralph. Yeah, let's hear it for Ralph.

[22:25:40] Yeah, let's get a round of applause please. Thank you, thank you. Ralph appreciates it.

[22:25:44] I'll let him know. Next boss fight is going to be Doppelganger 40

[22:25:48] The 40, fun fact, denotes his level. Each enemy in this game does have a specific

[22:25:52] level and it is a mechanic that does matter. It determines how much experience you gain from the

[22:25:56] boss. It's like Alucard, your character level minus their

[22:26:00] level and then some other math going on in the background

[22:26:03] determines how much experience you gain.

[22:26:05] So essentially the higher level you are,

[22:26:07] the less experience you gain so that level scaling kind of

[22:26:09] balances out. It's one of the reasons

[22:26:12] why we're not getting level ups all the time and primarily

[22:26:14] only on bosses nowadays, you know?

[22:26:16] The inflation on experience has gone crazy

[22:26:18] You know what I'm saying?

[22:26:20] Look, the Fed is just not doing enough to cap inflation on experience curves.

[22:26:25] I've been saying this. Thank you.

[22:26:27] Another fun fact about doppelganger40

[22:26:30] he is so linked with the other version of doppelganger back in the first castle

[22:26:34] we had to skip him by using the library card um but we're going to skip him again and to explain

[22:26:40] why that is uh i can't. That's the fun part.

[22:26:43] I don't know why this

[22:26:44] is a thing.

[22:26:45] We're just going to be

[22:26:45] invincible and get in

[22:26:46] his face, use the

[22:26:47] stopwatch to freeze him

[22:26:47] in place then kill him

[22:26:48] and I'm going to look

[22:26:49] at the system menu

[22:26:51] here time attack.

[22:26:52] You'll notice

[22:26:52] Doppelganger 10 and doppelganger 40

[22:26:54] were defeated on the same frame.

[22:26:56] They are soul linked so essentially he's gone.

[22:26:59] There is no doppelganger 10.

[22:27:00] Again we tried our best to make this reverse boss order work but that's another one of those edge cases where you cannot kill doppelganger 40 before killing doppelganger 10 or else doppelganger 10 never spawns. I'll even showcase the boss room later because this run has actually been kind of killing it we're probably way

[22:27:16] ahead of a schedule and it's like a 20-second detour but i'll show you he does not spawn at all

[22:27:21] wait we're way ahead of estimate zen can i get an update on that kingdom

[22:27:24] hearts incentive cause we're running out of

[22:27:26] time here yeah we definitely are we are at 43 355 of the 100 000 needed that is 56

[22:27:33] 000 remaining actually have a message here from the runner, Ninten866

[22:27:37] just to tell you how amazing the upgrade to level 1 critical mode incentive

[22:27:41] is. They said that the level one makes the game extremely high stakes and

[22:27:45] intense on every fight. Just beating the game at level one at all

[22:27:49] is a huge task that not many people can do so we're basically doing a challenge run while speed

[22:27:54] running every fight will be difficult to get through. Edge of your seat speedrun."

[22:27:58] Quote unquote.

[22:28:00] You definitely want to see it, make sure you put the donations in now

[22:28:02] and select that incentive at the bottom

[22:28:04] of the page. We need your help NOW!

[22:28:06] I mean, I want to see that.

[22:28:09] Look, I'm sold.

[22:28:09] I want to see that too.

[22:28:10] I'm sold.

[22:28:12] You got any KH fans in the audience tonight?

[22:28:16] Love me some Kingdom Hearts.

[22:28:17] Let's go.

[22:28:18] Yeah, get that incentive med people Med people I wanna see it!

[22:28:20] So where are we heading now? We just killed Death...kind of

[22:28:23] Yeah, Death- It was finally his time

[22:28:25] Death comes for us all including Death

[22:28:28] Yeah who takes him to the great beyond?

[22:28:29] Me!

[22:28:31] Let's go.

[22:28:32] So now we're heading towards creature.

[22:28:34] Now we've kind of hit the Castlevania 1 retrains if you will.

[22:28:38] Got to rehash the old stuff so that way

[22:28:41] the boomers can look at the screen and go, oh my gosh I remember that!

[22:28:45] It's Flea Man!

[22:28:49] That ups's me! That's Dragonblitz, dude. He's the boomer.

[22:28:52] So they retrained a lot of

[22:28:54] the old Castlevania 1

[22:28:56] bosses. This is creature

[22:28:58] minus the flea man that accompanies

[22:29:00] him. He's dead now. His scream kind of

[22:29:02] sounds like Hank Hill going,

[22:29:04] Whoa!

[22:29:07] Just me? Alright, I'm crazy.

[22:29:11] You play the same game over and over again, you start to hear things in the static of

[22:29:16] the game.

[22:29:17] I don't know that Hank Hill's scream is his most defining feature.

[22:29:22] Last time I saw Creature I was like wow this guy looks like he most defining feature. Last time I fought creature,

[22:29:24] I was like wow this guy looks like he lost

[22:29:26] propane and potent accessories.

[22:29:28] Now don't tell you what,

[22:29:30] you better be donating to that upgrade

[22:29:32] to level 1 critical mode incentive we really could use that help right now. That was really good!

[22:29:34] Okay, I'm so glad Zen did that because

[22:29:36] I was going to do mine and it is 100 times worse.

[22:29:38] So how much

[22:29:40] to donate to hear yours?

[22:29:42] A hundred bucks will give it a shot. A100 donation, we can hear ASF say kill

[22:29:45] I wanna hear this now!

[22:29:49] No you know what instead? Where are they at on the KH2 incentive?

[22:29:51] Alright currently we still need

[22:29:53] 55 thousand eight hundred sorry, $55 currently we still need $55,800.

[22:29:55] Oh sorry, $55,000 we still need is the main point here.

[22:29:58] Let's get to 60k and I'll do it.

[22:30:02] 60K for our 8Fs horrible Hank Hill impression.

[22:30:04] Let's go!

[22:30:05] Alrighty, we need a 60K total there.

[22:30:07] That's about 16,000 more.

[22:30:08] I mean, Twitch chat audience,

[22:30:10] I know we can make it happen

[22:30:11] but are you going to put your energy into it?

[22:30:12] Can I trust you?

[22:30:13] We can do this, right?

[22:30:15] Give me some energy, audience.

[22:30:17] Let's go!

[22:30:18] It's really bad.

[22:30:20] I'm excited for that.

[22:30:21] If it's bad enough,

[22:30:22] can we get VDef up here?

[22:30:24] Yeah, he just is not...

[22:30:25] I'm sorry.

[22:30:25] I could check my phone

[22:30:26] but he's just not... Have you got a budget? Yeah, I don't not. I'm sorry, I could check my phone but he's just not...

[22:30:27] Have you got a budget?

[22:30:28] Yeah, I don't know. He's soaring dude.

[22:30:31] Honestly the price for his appearance fee is kind of wild.

[22:30:34] I asked him, but some people are just They make it and then they forget about you.

[22:30:39] Speaking of people who have made it,

[22:30:41] we got Awkward on here

[22:30:42] all the way from Castlevania 1 making it into...

[22:30:45] He's made it, bro.

[22:30:46] He has made it.

[22:30:47] He got the call for this game and was so excited to show up yeah now

[22:30:51] let's tell him but his animation his death animation is like they definitely spent

[22:30:55] like a week on it his thanos snap out of existence beautiful not feeling so good mr stark wow big adventures fan

[22:31:04] oh that was personally painful yeah from here we are winding down the second castle.

[22:31:10] Which means that we have one castle after this left full of bosses

[22:31:14] and then the final boss Dracula so...

[22:31:16] We keep blazing through these bosses right now.

[22:31:19] How many bosses do got left, DB?

[22:31:21] Don't ask me that question.

[22:31:22] Count them now.

[22:31:23] Look at what I've done with my left-right.

[22:31:25] I just look at my splits and do

[22:31:26] what the splits tell me to do.

[22:31:28] Bro has just laid his live split layout how do i speed one with my splits

[22:31:34] so uh we do have darkwing back coming up next here um after that uh there's all the

[22:31:40] first castle bosses you You know them.

[22:31:42] You taught me Ada.

[22:31:43] You're a big fan of this game.

[22:31:44] Huge fan.

[22:31:46] Presumably, there is Medusa.

[22:31:49] We already did Medusa.

[22:31:50] That was earlier.

[22:31:50] Well, I just like her so much.

[22:31:52] We all do. Oh, I just like her so much. I mean we all do.

[22:31:53] Oh! You know who there is?

[22:31:54] There's a guy with an axe who's like a minotaur or something.

[22:31:58] Mm-hmm, yeah.

[22:31:59] There's also a skeleton...

[22:32:01] Or it's like a group of skeletons?

[22:32:04] You're thinking of Dark Souls 2.

[22:32:06] That's right, I often confuse the two all

[22:32:08] the time. They are very similar. Yeah yeah

[22:32:10] Similar lore, similar art

[22:32:12] style vibe, you know. Yeah majula castle unclear what is your favorite

[22:32:17] skeleton lord my favorite skeleton lord that'd be me

[22:32:22] okay now we're finally heading back to the first castle, all of the bosses in the second

[22:32:27] castle have been defeated. Going back to the first castle what is the next boss?

[22:32:31] I'm thinking Karasumon? No, it's not Karasumon.

[22:32:36] I feel like we're forgetting somebody important here...

[22:32:40] Who could it be? Oh you know what it is!

[22:32:42] It's gotta be Viktor.

[22:32:48] Yeah he just doesn't spawn in from the left for whatever reason.

[22:32:50] He goes super saiyan at the beginning.

[22:32:50] Good.

[22:32:51] Yeah.

[22:32:53] I assume he's just going to get shielded to death or something.

[22:32:54] No, actually.

[22:32:57] He is controlled by the dark priest chef, that guy that we killed earlier. He sent like his phantom

[22:32:59] form to go control... B-shaft.

[22:33:01] Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that

[22:33:03] shaft encounter is essentially

[22:33:05] just an orb with 10 HP. So we just

[22:33:08] do 10 HP, ten ticks

[22:33:10] of damage to him. By the way

[22:33:12] shield rod. Thank you for reminding me I will

[22:33:14] do that. Yeah we do ten ticks

[22:33:16] of damage. It's a good thing your here 10 ticks of damage.

[22:33:20] Ten ticks of damage to it and then it dissipates and that's it because if we actually killed him

[22:33:22] as the boss fight that is intended

[22:33:24] uh...we get the bad ending

[22:33:26] And we still have more bosses so we can't get the bad ending and we still have more bosses so we can't get the bad ending. So our compromise is

[22:33:30] that we save Richter, and that's considered the boss fight let's go! Let's go this is one of

[22:33:36] the few categories that actually saves Richter because he isn't considered a boss.

[22:33:40] Because this game uses the time attack menu I showed you earlier

[22:33:44] as like, the de facto way to determine in a major event

[22:33:48] in this game, like killing a boss. but saving richter doesn't say defeat richter it says

[22:33:51] save richter where all the other bosses say defeat blank boss so because of that uh richter usually

[22:33:57] doesn't make the cut but because we're trying to abide by

[22:34:00] the boss order as cleanly as we can

[22:34:03] to make an entertaining run that's fun to play and also fun to showcase.

[22:34:06] Richter makes the cut which is a big day for him.

[22:34:10] Huge! Richter stalks going up everybody

[22:34:14] okay this is shield rod time so because that cutscene with uh saving richter happened it

[22:34:19] deactivated my shield rod it essentially reloads Alucard in

[22:34:22] which disables the shield rod.

[22:34:24] In my defense is this not a ton of skeletons?

[22:34:27] It's technically bodies.

[22:34:29] Look at the background right now.

[22:34:30] Those are the skeletons but the boss itself is bodies you

[22:34:32] don't get to see the boss for very long so i don't dragon um actually his name

[22:34:51] so there's grand flume down uh next boss coming up is going to be all rocks the other like vampire lord of the castle i don't know what he's doing here.

[22:34:53] Honestly, I think he is just squatting. He found a castle and said

[22:34:56] you know what, I'll move in! We will see what happens

[22:34:59] in Season 2. Squatters...yeah they are going to finally address

[22:35:02] the squatter rights in Transylvania.

[22:35:04] I've been looking forward to this.

[22:35:06] Is this canonically in Transylvania?

[22:35:08] Good question!

[22:35:09] Or is it just an ambiguous Eastern European country?

[22:35:12] No, I think it IS in Transylvania. In this game. Other games

[22:35:16] it's up in the air. Really...Castlevaine is kind of more of a vibe.

[22:35:20] It really is. Should I do a funny voice?

[22:35:24] Yeah you should do a funny voice. Go for it!

[22:35:26] Aw let's...

[22:35:28] Let's go dude!

[22:35:32] I wake up every day and say

[22:35:34] should I do a funny voice? I had to double check my notes

[22:35:37] to... I have the route like 95%

[22:35:39] memorized. Again, like I said, I rerouted

[22:35:41] a lot of it. And on top of that, the boss

[22:35:43] order is so arbitrary.

[22:35:45] No speedrun in its right mind would go all the way down to

[22:35:49] catacombs and say you know where I want to go next? Allrocks' quarters.

[22:35:52] Like the exact opposite side of the castle. So there's a lot of zigzagging

[22:35:56] around from boss-to boss to boss as determined by

[22:35:58] that boss order, but it does make for

[22:36:00] some fun rooms to move through.

[22:36:02] It's another reason I love this game

[22:36:04] because this game has such fluid

[22:36:06] movement for a 2D game. It's incredible, it

[22:36:09] has momentum preservation out of

[22:36:11] any horizontal movement. You have the wing

[22:36:13] smashes which is like a huge skill ceiling

[22:36:15] optimization for top level runners

[22:36:17] you even had out-the-gate shield dashing, something to do

[22:36:20] in between before getting all the overpowered movement. It's incredibly

[22:36:24] fun to play through, even if you just want to casually play through the game but utilize

[22:36:28] the movement options to their fullest it's so much fun genuinely recommend it

[22:36:33] next up we got succubus which is all the way in the catacombs, which is this direction.

[22:36:41] On the way there you think I got a few moments for donations? Sure thing!

[22:36:45] Fantastic here's $5 from Heat Blaze that said $5 train to

[22:36:49] the KH2 upgrade and along the same thoughts $5 train to the KH2 upgrade. And along the same thoughts,

[22:36:52] $5 from Burt FTW

[22:36:54] that's a $5 train to one million?

[22:36:56] $50 here from

[22:36:57] Yoki Mato that said I missed the last few

[22:37:00] $5 trains so here's 10 trains worth

[22:37:02] and $10 from Lima

[22:37:04] that said choo-choo!

[22:37:06] We can definitely make it happen.

[22:37:07] We are currently at 48,000 of the 100,000 needed.

[22:37:10] That means we still need 51k and let me tell you

[22:37:13] if we get to 60,000 of that raise

[22:37:15] we're going to get the greatest Hank Hill impression

[22:37:17] you have ever heard

[22:37:19] Right ADF?

[22:37:21] Yeah

[22:37:21] So I did a little bit of a fib.

[22:37:24] I lied.

[22:37:25] It wasn't actually succubus.

[22:37:26] It was cerberus.

[22:37:27] They kind of sound the same.

[22:37:29] Yeah, you know...

[22:37:31] There's the dog.

[22:37:32] We pet the dog.

[22:37:32] He loves us so much he bursts into flames out of excitement. Let's get the dog. We pet the dog. He loves us so much, he bursts into flames out of excitement.

[22:37:35] Let's hear it for dogs.

[22:37:36] Let's hear it for dogs, everybody.

[22:37:38] Shout-out to peanut butter.

[22:37:41] Loves us so much, he bursts into flames. Don't you do that?

[22:37:45] That's some biblical garbage!

[22:37:47] I love fire.

[22:37:49] There is a lot of Biblical stuff in this game,

[22:37:51] So i think it's accurate.

[22:37:53] Yeah there are crosses and holy scuff or whatever. Yeah, whatever. Junk. Now

[22:37:55] it's succubus time.

[22:37:58] Everyone's favorite Bible. Another biblical thing.

[22:38:00] Now it's succubus time.

[22:38:02] I remember that. It's my favorite

[22:38:04] Bible. Hold on. Oh, it's succubus time.

[22:38:07] Funny thing about this game

[22:38:08] in Bible quotes actually.

[22:38:10] Oh yeah, this is a good story.

[22:38:12] This is a good story. So in the end credits

[22:38:14] in the English version of the game,

[22:38:17] Dracula quotes Matthew 1626 at the very end.

[22:38:21] And for the longest time, the any% run was hovering around 17 minutes

[22:38:25] a little into the 1650s.

[22:38:27] And I kind of took it upon myself to find

[22:38:29] a lot of time saves

[22:38:31] to get down around that 1626 mark

[22:38:33] and then after awhile we eventually did

[22:38:37] get a run that was exactly 1626. so for a while the world

[22:38:41] record was 16 26 and at the end of the run dracula even calls out the timer 1626. that was sucky just

[22:38:46] by the way you know we library card out to skip

[22:38:49] the animation of us loading back into the regular castle

[22:38:51] because we're in the nightmare zone.

[22:38:53] You know a little thing about the nightmare zone, right, Dana?

[22:38:55] I have had a nightmare every night

[22:38:57] in this hotel since we got here.

[22:38:58] I haven't had a hotel... Good lord. every night in this hotel since we got here. Well, I'm sorry to hear that!

[22:39:00] I haven't had a nightmare

[22:39:02] in like two years and yet

[22:39:04] I'm 6 for 6 this week.

[22:39:06] I'm hoping 7 for 7 tonight.

[22:39:08] Are you feeling alright man? I feel fine fine i've had a great week they're honestly getting exciting

[22:39:10] are they scary yes but every single one has had some kind of thing for me to defeat at

[22:39:14] the end so i wake up feeling resolute um and uh excited i think i know what your

[22:39:19] nightmare is going gonna be tonight, it's gonna be something

[22:39:22] about a little bit of propane...

[22:39:25] I can't wait to hear the you know save children from a burning building that's

[22:39:30] exploding with propane and hand kill is there

[22:39:32] and you have to do your hank hill impression to save the children and i might you know

[22:39:35] that's going to be a tough decision that's going to be a tough decision to make whoa to save

[22:39:40] children i'll save the kids.

[22:39:42] Alright, let's hear it for saving the kids.

[22:39:44] Let's get some donations for MSF

[22:39:48] Happy to read a few out if we have a moment

[22:39:50] Go right ahead, we're just killing some bosses vibing with some friends.

[22:39:54] You know as one does.

[22:39:55] We got a $50 donation here from our great friend Anonymous that said

[22:39:58] A bad Hank Hill impression and an impossible Kingdom Hearts run for the price of one donation.

[22:40:04] So much value!

[22:40:05] Also had a $25 donation from Wizzy here

[22:40:08] that said, always wanted to see runners

[22:40:09] in pain. Level 1 KH

[22:40:12] GO! Also, AF talking about

[22:40:14] propane needs to happen

[22:40:16] Right now we're at 50 thousand

[22:40:18] out of the 100 thousand

[22:40:20] 10 thousand more and we hear an incredible impression

[22:40:22] We're close to it. Let's just make it happen. We're close.

[22:40:25] Man, I'm low-key

[22:40:26] stressed because what if it's actually good

[22:40:29] and that's disappointing? Or what if it's

[22:40:31] so bad that it's disappointing? You're in your head.

[22:40:33] You're in your head. It'll be great.

[22:40:34] I gotta do some

[22:40:36] kind of acting exercise, get out

[22:40:38] of my head. Do you want to hear a fun fact?

[22:40:40] Yeah I'd love to hear a fun fact. If you transform into

[22:40:42] Bat in this room before the cutscene

[22:40:44] starts, you softlocked the game. You should do it. I can't anymore.

[22:40:47] We consider joking by

[22:40:48] softlocking the game than loading a safety save.

[22:40:50] That's a boss. Oh that's a boss.

[22:40:52] That's a boss I mentioned. Half of it.

[22:40:54] You mentioned Minotaur but you forgot his friend here. I knew there was two guys. You didn't even mention Minotaur, but you forgot his friend.

[22:40:56] I knew there was two guys!

[22:40:57] You didn't even mention Minotaur,

[22:40:58] you just said a minotour-like guy.

[22:41:00] Well is he not... would you say Dragonblitz

[22:41:02] is not a human like guy?

[22:41:04] Not frequently no, I don't think I would say that.

[22:41:06] But is it incorrect? Like yeah if I had to test him Not frequently, no I don't think I would say that.

[22:41:07] But is it correct?

[22:41:08] Like yeah if I had to testify that sounds accurate.

[22:41:11] Your honor my client is a human like guy.

[22:41:16] Watch yourself, counselor.

[22:41:22] What's next? We got Scylla! Oh, Scylla.

[22:41:26] We all love Scylla, right guys? Yeah, the wiggly water lady. Wiggly water lady.

[22:41:30] Remember that floor clip

[22:41:31] I did a while ago to get into the caverns?

[22:41:33] Of course. It's a little fuzzy actually. Can you show it to me again?

[22:41:35] Oh sure, since we're here might as well.

[22:41:46] No way i went through that's the one on that that is wild those are

[22:41:49] i can't even begin to explain how difficult those are. The map buffering helps, but again you're still having

[22:41:52] to do frame perfect inputs for the map buffering

[22:41:56] Lots of fun time here.

[22:41:57] So this is Scylla W a worm, not silly yet.

[22:42:01] Can I give you

[22:42:02] a Fun Fact TV?

[22:42:03] Sure!

[22:42:04] This is actually

[22:42:04] a fun fact for everybody.

[22:42:05] Twitch.tv

[22:42:06] slash dr4

[22:42:07] g-o-n

[22:42:08] b-l-i-t-z

[22:42:09] that's Dragon Blitz

[22:42:10] excellent content and there's a youtube channel with amazing

[22:42:14] a huge backlog of wonderful videos to watch on castlevania speedrunning history all kinds

[22:42:19] of other speedruns uh YouTube, just search Dragon Blitz

[22:42:22] and Twitch, go to Dragon Blitz.

[22:42:23] I want to see some follows,

[22:42:24] some subscribes

[22:42:25] and I'm going to say it,

[22:42:28] I'll cry if you don't do it.

[22:42:30] He'll cry if you do it as well

[22:42:32] so no matter what it kind of works out.

[22:42:33] Yeah, but that's just like my state.

[22:42:35] You're prone to crying. Yeah, that's just my default state.

[22:42:37] Sorry, I didn't mean to out you. No, I'm a human-like creature.

[22:42:39] True! Aren't we all?

[22:42:41] Any human-like creatures in the chat yeah human like

[22:42:43] features let's hear it sound off your human-like creature

[22:42:49] we love that wake up in the morning i feel like a monster-like creature am i

[22:42:52] right I feel like a monster-like creature, am I right? Oh!

[22:42:54] Yeah.

[22:42:56] Seriously.

[22:42:59] We can't wait until I've had my coffee.

[22:43:02] You can't wake up 90 minutes before having your morning coffee?

[22:43:03] Yeah, yeah. I'll die.

[22:43:06] Next up is Hippogriff.

[22:43:07] So you might have noticed that Scylla boss fight

[22:43:09] where I literally just wing smashed into the boss

[22:43:11] and then the boss died. That boss

[22:43:13] for whatever reason just has very low HP. I think they were worried

[22:43:16] about how difficult the boss would be so they scaled

[22:43:18] it down HP-wise. This boss however, I think

[22:43:20] has no excuse for having as much HP as it does

[22:43:22] Obviously we are going to melt it but from a casual

[22:43:24] perspective this is like a dark souls level boss with like

[22:43:27] a darksoul's level run back like there's no save room anywhere nearby it's like probably the hardest

[22:43:31] part of the game near the beginning funny enough um this is where normally, in a sane world

[22:43:37] that is not a wacko

[22:43:39] universe that we live in, we would go fight Doppelganger

[22:43:41] 10, but he

[22:43:43] is not with us right now

[22:43:45] He's on vacation

[22:43:46] He heard that his good friend Doppelganger 40 with us right now. He's on vacation.

[22:43:48] Um, he heard that his good friend Doppelganger40 couldn't make it

[22:43:50] so he decided to go look for him.

[22:43:52] If you- if he asks, don't

[22:43:54] tell him anything guys, alright? We're cool.

[22:43:56] He's in the big castle in the sky yeah well that's

[22:43:58] the second castle actually yeah he's in the third big castle in the sky well there is a

[22:44:02] third castle and these are the four churches castle in the sky okay

[22:44:06] we don't i don't think we have a fourth castle oh sevens for doppelganger ten

[22:44:09] oh sevens so yeah where this is the final boss by the way everybody well

[22:44:13] the first boss but the final ones and they're gone they were too strong we had to skip slugger

[22:44:17] and guy bond yeah we have to go power up through our anime training arc before we can finally face them.

[22:44:22] And do we skip the Life Max Up?

[22:44:25] We did. Nice!

[22:44:27] If you leave the room fast enough there's a life max up that drops on your head.

[22:44:29] But if you're fast enough to leave with a library card

[22:44:31] it doesn't drop on your head and you save like 90 frames.

[22:44:34] That's a lot.

[22:44:35] Can you count to 90 chat?

[22:44:36] No.

[22:44:36] Start now.

[22:44:39] Well hey they could if we start putting some more donations towards the upgrade to level 1.

[22:44:42] Could we please start a donation train starting at one getting to 90 in order?

[22:44:48] Can you do it? I believe in you.

[22:44:50] You ever played those games where you try to like count to ten in order. Can you do it? I believe in you.

[22:44:53] You ever played those games where you try to count to ten,

[22:44:56] but you can't look at each other and then... Do you have any idea what we're talking about?

[22:44:58] Is that on the PS1?

[22:45:07] If it's on the PS11 we might have played it you know with how big the library is i wouldn't doubt it oh yeah uh doppelganger 10 let me go show him real quick this is like a 20 second

[22:45:11] detour but i'm not lying. He's gone forever.

[22:45:13] What is the game counting to 10?

[22:45:15] It's like a group

[22:45:17] trust building exercise where you close your eyes in a circle

[22:45:19] and try to count to 10 without saying any numbers

[22:45:21] at the same time. you can't like communicate

[22:45:23] it all and you're trying to each individually work together to count to

[22:45:26] ten without saying a number at the same time i've spent so much time on this

[22:45:28] area it's just uh this is where doppelganger10 normally would be but he

[22:45:32] is mia right now so but he is MIA right now. So like

[22:45:34] He's actually just gone

[22:45:35] It's one of the things that makes this category very silly

[22:45:38] It's a category extension for a reason

[22:45:40] Every speedrun is arbitrary

[22:45:42] Of course! At the end of the day, you know

[22:45:43] The words any% didn't mean anything

[22:45:45] until somebody decided they did

[22:45:47] Exactly, but at the end of the day this is a very fun

[22:45:49] very interesting category

[22:45:51] in my opinion. It gets to show off how

[22:45:53] powerful the glitches in this game are if you like

[22:45:56] sit down and really like put your nose to the grindstone and figure out all

[22:45:59] these frame perfect pixel-perfect setups. And as just a massive fan of this game

[22:46:03] and this games community, and so many of the people around

[22:46:06] the speedrunning community as a whole is the whole reason

[22:46:08] I'm here, and again, so

[22:46:10] happy to be showcasing this run for you guys.

[22:46:12] Hey! We don't have to skip Richter anymore!

[22:46:14] No more Richterskip let's go uh coming up here is like a back

[22:46:19] track to the area where shaft was because that's where the dracula fight is from if

[22:46:23] you remember like oh i don't know, like 30 minutes ago.

[22:46:28] But heading up to that, there's not a whole

[22:46:30] lot going on so this would be another fantastic

[22:46:32] time for some donations.

[22:46:33] Here is a $2,000

[22:46:35] donation from John.

[22:46:38] They said let's see that terrible Hank Hill impression.

[22:46:43] They pushed us to 52,500 of the 100,000 needed so So we still need about 7500 but

[22:46:49] We can absolutely make it happen before the end of this run

[22:46:51] I personally challenge all of you

[22:46:53] To make it happen before the end of this run

[22:46:55] We also had a $25 donation from

[22:46:57] Anonymous that said uh how much does Twitch chat need to donate

[22:47:00] for Zen to read out Dracula's

[22:47:02] what is a man speech in the

[22:47:03] Handkill voice? If we reach

[22:47:06] that 60k, I will

[22:47:08] absolutely do it. Fair trade. We absolutely need to reach that level 1 critical mode upgrade.

[22:47:12] It is such a great run. None of you understand because I cannot articulate well enough how amazing that run is

[22:47:17] but I really want us get there.

[22:47:19] I believe we can do it before the start of that run is, but I really want to get us there. I believe we can do it before the

[22:47:21] start of that run. You'll have the time

[22:47:23] for the daily recap after that, but that's not much.

[22:47:25] We're getting there. It's running out!

[22:47:29] Okay, this is going to be one of the last tricks

[22:47:31] Of the run. It's that reverse shift line again

[22:47:33] Nice, we got it

[22:47:34] So again, this pushes us out of bounds

[22:47:37] By skipping an entire room

[22:47:39] Puts us in the ceiling

[22:47:40] And then we fly across the ceiling here. Two

[22:47:42] three four five wing smashes. A brief flash

[22:47:46] and then were there. And now all that's standing in our way is Shaft again

[22:47:50] but as I said earlier we can't fight him so if you remember that trick we did earlier to skip past death?

[22:47:57] We're going to be doing that again, that screen grab glitch where we desync the camera a lot.

[22:48:01] This is another fantastic time for a LOT of donations,

[22:48:04] it's gonna be like 2 minutes.

[22:48:06] Alright-y, and here

[22:48:08] is a $25 donation from Memph that said

[22:48:10] Aback doing a Hank Hill impression?

[22:48:12] That boy ain't right.

[22:48:15] We have a $250 donation from

[22:48:16] Quev that says, I'm excited to hear

[22:48:19] ADF's Hank Hill impression.

[22:48:20] $50 from Wilson that said, can we get a

[22:48:22] $5 Hank Hill hype train?

[22:48:25] And I guess for Kingdom Hearts 2, donating

[22:48:27] 10 tickets. Mike Judge fans, rise

[22:48:29] up baby! Let's go!

[22:48:32] $100 donation

[22:48:33] from Frequently Bees that said give us the Hank Hill impression.

[22:48:37] $100 from Mark that said people want to hear the bad Hank Hill

[22:48:42] impression. $50 from Cute Fuzzy that said this should buy some propane and propane accessories.

[22:48:47] Can't wait to hear it, ADef!

[22:48:49] And also a $25 donation here

[22:48:51] from PrinceOfKisses that said,

[22:48:53] question for DB, which Symphony of the Night monster

[22:48:55] is the most ADef-like? A question for DB, which Symphony of the Night monster is

[22:48:56] the most ADF like?

[22:48:59] Oh gosh.

[22:49:01] I'm going to guess Flea Rider.

[22:49:04] Flea Rider.

[22:49:06] Caveman was not going to say Flea rider, I want to be clear on that.

[22:49:10] No we were on the perfect wavelength there you're kind of being weird about this.

[22:49:12] It was definitely flea adjacent.

[22:49:14] You are wearing green.

[22:49:16] Yeah that doesn't help. You are't have sat here. You're wearing like a Flea Man cosplay right now.

[22:49:19] I never leave home without my Flea Man cosplay!

[22:49:23] I know! That's why you were on the couch.

[22:49:25] Everybody knew you were doing the Flea Man cosplay today.

[22:49:27] Yeah.

[22:49:34] I think we just have a couple more heart refreshes here before we're pushed through the floor um hopefully this works out uh i was supposed to count

[22:49:37] the number of heart refreshes,

[22:49:39] but this looks about right.

[22:49:40] You know where you are.

[22:49:41] I've had thousands of hours in this game and it worked well.

[22:49:44] Yay!

[22:49:45] Sometimes you do vibe-based glitches and it works out.

[22:49:48] But this is the end of the run, again I want to thank GDQ

[22:49:50] I wanna thank the crowd being here

[22:49:52] I wanna thank ADef and Caveman

[22:49:54] I wanna thank everybody who's donating to this wonderful

[22:51:14] check us out there's also a discord that's linked there the long library

[22:51:17] discord will help you out uh and thank you guys so much again i appreciate it

[22:51:37] from hearts too. My name is Ninten, and let's just get started. In 3... 2... 1... Go!

[22:51:41] I'm joined by these lovely commentators.

[22:51:43] Yes, hi, I am Jay Helps.

[22:51:45] I'm Thar.

[22:51:46] And I'm Spike Vegeta! Hooray!

[22:51:49] Yay!

[22:51:51] This is actually my favorite category of this game so I'm really excited to be showing it off here.

[22:51:55] We're just starting out in Roxas Road.

[22:51:57] There's like a tutorial section of the video game,

[22:52:00] and the RNG is actually set when you start the game

[22:52:04] so we are able to RNG manipulate the first couple fights here

[22:52:07] So we'll be doing very particular combos on

[22:52:09] the first fights coming up.

[22:52:12] Yeah, Ninten picking up

[22:52:13] a Struggle Bat to increase his strength by one there

[22:52:15] as well which really does help.

[22:52:18] Yeah that one Strength difference actually makes a huge

[22:52:20] difference in this game.

[22:52:21] Yeah, permanent stat increase. So again,

[22:52:24] like Ninten said, he's going to be RNG manipulating

[22:52:26] right here doing an exact combo

[22:52:28] on Cypher so you can keep this RNG manipulation going

[22:52:30] a few more minutes into the run.

[22:52:33] Yeah, so all these combos

[22:52:34] it's like... It's one just

[22:52:36] a good way to beat the boss quickly or you know

[22:52:38] boss. A little tutorial. Quickly but also

[22:52:41] is going to continue

[22:52:43] manipulating that RNG. Basically the RNG

[22:52:45] changes based on enemy action and

[22:52:47] the enemy action is based on what

[22:52:49] we do to the enemies so how we hit them and let them respond.

[22:52:52] Yeah, as you noticed there I was actually doing air hits at the end

[22:52:55] so we'll be opting to do air combos whenever we can

[22:52:58] It's really hard to do him as Roxas because he's a bit heavier than Sora, but they are faster

[22:53:04] than ground combos. The animations just put there...

[22:53:05] This is one of the biggest reasons we did the RNG minute. Look how fast it is. And in

[22:53:09] case you were worried that Critical was going to be any easier than Level, like only slightly.

[22:53:15] Minton's just gonna do two empty hits one empty hit a full combo here by empty hit we mean not completing the combo

[22:53:22] Just doing the first or the first two hits of the combo.

[22:53:26] Yeah so doing the empty hits is because the finisher, the ending of the combo knocks away the enemies and we don't want that because then we have to chase them down yeah so we'll be trying

[22:53:35] to end the enemy with the last hit of our combo if we can yeah especially dusks they like they love

[22:53:41] to just kind of move around all wildly and that finisher does a lot you know a

[22:53:45] lot of damage it's really good but it is not worth the time it would take

[22:53:48] to go chase them back down after you knock him away yeah so this is about

[22:53:51] delivery we have to do a job and then talk to hainer uh we actually don't

[22:53:54] have to do that many jobs.

[22:53:55] It should just be one of them. And as long as you do well enough in this

[22:53:58] mini-game, then we can go talk to Hainer and finish off Sub 7.

[22:54:04] Yeah, that's not... That is not easy to do in under seven seconds.

[22:54:06] Because there are a lot of you who don't want

[22:54:08] to just press triangle

[22:54:10] to deliver a piece of mail while

[22:54:12] you're on the ground because all of a sudden

[22:54:14] there's a ton of lag coming out of that so ninten was always trying to

[22:54:17] like jump when he is delivering the mail and like as he's landing out of it yeah it's very tony hawk

[22:54:23] very good so now this is almost a tony haw. Sorry, Pete Gallagher.

[22:54:28] Now we're entering day three.

[22:54:30] We promised there's going to be a lot of action in this run

[22:54:32] and you'll start to see it on this day when

[22:54:34] we've had our first boss.

[22:54:36] Actually one of the more challenging fights in the run, but we'll get to that there.

[22:54:38] But another section of RNG manip. To progress this, we're just going to do 10 hits

[22:54:42] on the dusk as you can see where you are not doing any damage to it, but our hits are still counting

[22:54:46] towards progression and There we go.

[22:54:48] That's exactly what you want?

[22:54:49] Yeah, so we did the reverse RSC there.

[22:54:51] We'll be doing that throughout Roxas World

[22:54:53] because it stuns the Dusks

[22:54:54] so let's just get free hits in.

[22:54:57] Ninten picked up the shield there as well.

[22:54:59] The dream shield which affects

[22:55:00] the ability routing throughout the game

[22:55:02] so as you level up

[22:55:03] which abilities you unlock

[22:55:04] that is determined by

[22:55:05] which dream weapon you pick

[22:55:06] and the shield is going to be very helpful.

[22:55:08] There is like a sword route

[22:55:09] for critical as well, but the shield has

[22:55:10] a lot of varied tech to it that Ninten wanted

[22:55:12] to show off.

[22:55:14] Yeah, shield route is just really safe.

[22:55:18] That was...

[22:55:19] We'll also get once more, yeah. Yeah, we'll be getting a lot of abilities

[22:55:21] that will be very useful later on.

[22:55:23] Especially on critical mode.

[22:55:25] So now it's a Dusk fight right there.

[22:55:27] We're heading into our first actual boss fight

[22:55:29] which is Twilight Thorn. It's actually a really tough fight.

[22:55:36] Right here in this menu, Ninten is applying all of these like bonus... Was that no experience or anything?

[22:55:37] Almost.

[22:55:39] Okay I was very sure.

[22:55:41] But uh, all abilities that you just saw

[22:55:42] at the intent start with there,

[22:55:43] those are bonuses that come from starting on

[22:55:46] Critical Mode difficulty.

[22:55:47] So Square's idea of kind of balancing

[22:55:50] Critical Mode which was added to

[22:55:51] the Final Mix version

[22:55:53] was to say it's gonna be really, really hard.

[22:55:55] You're going to die very, very easily

[22:55:57] one two shot everywhere

[22:55:59] but we are also going to give you a couple of niceties up front

[22:56:01] like a finishing plus allowing you to do

[22:56:04] back-to-back finishing hits which are your most powerful attacks pretty much

[22:56:07] across the board stuff like draw reaction boost we'll get into those as

[22:56:11] the fights kind of apply to them but, a lot of cool bonuses right there.

[22:56:15] You also deal a little more damage on critical mode

[22:56:16] than you do on standard. Beginner does even more

[22:56:18] but critical also gets a nice little damage

[22:56:20] buff. So I like to

[22:56:22] fiddle around with the menu, my apologies.

[22:56:25] Yep. It's just how we make the time go by.

[22:56:28] This is like the big introduction

[22:56:30] to reaction commands so every time you see one of those

[22:56:33] triangle prompts pop up on screen,

[22:56:35] you can use Mashing Triangle and hitting one of those.

[22:56:38] We're going to use those a lot throughout the run.

[22:56:40] I think a lot of people remember this game as Mash X in Triangle.

[22:56:43] But we are not going to use them in that kind of fashion.

[22:56:45] Right, absolutely.

[22:56:46] They're very specifically used.

[22:56:48] They all stand and calculated.

[22:56:48] Yeah.

[22:56:49] In this fight though, for the opening there's not much you can do besides use them

[22:56:52] And then after this animation here,

[22:56:54] We're going to have Ninten actually getting into kind of the difficult part of this.

[22:56:58] Yeah, so he'll be trying to get four air combos and maybe an extra hit at the end of it when he's knocked down here

[22:57:03] So he's stunned for a certain period of time

[22:57:05] And like I said, air combo are really hard to do with Roxas

[22:57:07] so it's quite difficult to get these air combos in.

[22:57:13] Alright that's good, four air combos.

[22:57:14] That's good, that's good.

[22:57:16] We're still on the good spot and have killed his ball some time even though we missed that extra

[22:57:19] hit jump with that double finisher that that is uh due to that finishing plus device he's

[22:57:24] talking about nintendo knocks the dusks away because they can absolutely get in

[22:57:27] the way.

[22:57:28] And then he's listening for an audio cue to dodge them here,

[22:57:31] a little bit of an empty hit there so that this finisher finishes off

[22:57:34] the boss.

[22:57:35] Nice!

[22:57:36] Don't let that fight fool you.

[22:57:37] Ninh Tien just absolutely schooled that, but that is a very challenging fight to learn and it's the first major fight in the game.

[22:57:43] And not only was Ninten beating the boss there, but also new to like actually kill the creeper that spawned as well for the extra experience yeah so

[22:57:51] that experience actually matters the experience route in this game

[22:57:54] is uh pretty important to stick to so we'll be trying to hit certain level

[22:57:58] thresholds throughout the game and one of them actually coming up at the end

[22:58:01] of roxas road yeah that's like what two experience or something maybe before it and it's absolutely

[22:58:07] worth paying attention to so we get the struggle fights right here, yep

[22:58:11] all of these need to, ideally

[22:58:14] you can last the entire minute

[22:58:16] or you can just add all 200

[22:58:18] of the orbs and finish it instantly

[22:58:20] so you can see Nintent getting a really good corner

[22:58:22] stride with that, 46 is a very good time. Yeah, Hainer's really hard

[22:58:26] yeah, Hainer is unironically one of the hardest fights in like the early game

[22:58:30] And we see another one of those critical abilities that we were given at the

[22:58:34] start again made use their draw basically sucks in any uh items that enemies drops

[22:58:40] in this case struggle orbs but later in the game hp the game, HP Orbs, MP Orbs, Money

[22:58:44] basically means you don't have to walk right on top of them

[22:58:46] to get them which makes these struggle fast very

[22:58:49] struggle fights very fast and critical move.

[22:58:51] Yeah, and on Vivi here it's going

[22:58:52] be a little bit different than Hainer

[22:58:53] because we're actually going to knock Vivi down.

[22:58:54] We can't see their health yet but we are going to see it soon.

[22:58:57] But we were able to get Vivi to zero health there and knock her down.

[22:58:59] 42 flat! You don't see that very often.

[22:59:01] And even right there the one spot where Ninten got you might thought that was a mistake.

[22:59:05] That was actually intentional because of how draw works with it.

[22:59:08] It's better to just take that one hint and keep all the orbs clustered up.

[22:59:12] It works really well.

[22:59:13] So now Ninten is going to be using a lot of those empty hits, like you said.

[22:59:16] Not using the finishers unless he can actually project it pretty well.

[22:59:20] That was good.

[22:59:22] Yeah so that's another fight there.

[22:59:24] When we find multiple dusts,

[22:59:25] We're trying to hit

[22:59:26] multiple them at the same time because save some time on getting extra hits

[22:59:29] Jack can I get a got it memorized so here we're gonna be being absolute six

[22:59:35] air commas that the dodge is attack right there you don't have guard equip So here we're going to be being asked with six air combos.

[22:59:36] The dodge is attacked right there,

[22:59:37] you don't have guard equipped yet so it's actually really hard

[22:59:39] to dodge that and get in that combo right there.

[22:59:42] Good fight, good fight.

[22:59:43] Good adjustment on the empty hits there too.

[22:59:46] It's very easy to drop a combo while playing with Roxas and if you do

[22:59:50] you have to be able to like on-the-fly adjust to it.

[22:59:53] Yeah Ninten is also one of the best runners out there for games

[22:59:55] like Kingdom Hearts 1 as well where where jump combos are the king.

[22:59:58] No problem!

[23:00:00] But yeah, where jump combos

[23:00:02] are the king so you have to get really good

[23:00:04] at getting those little micro jumps

[23:00:06] and then getting an entire combo out yeah nintendo intentionally losing

[23:00:10] there because you have the option to either win or lose you get a better prize from

[23:00:13] losing which is the metal accessory that gives us one more strength

[23:00:17] which as we said before one of any stat especially strengthen this game

[23:00:20] makes a big difference.

[23:00:22] Yeah and so this game is like action RPG

[23:00:25] that RPG elements definitely come into play

[23:00:26] a lot in the speed running

[23:00:27] if they pay attention to all our stats

[23:00:28] and everything. yeah i feel

[23:00:29] like casually it's more action and yes some rpg whereas in the speed run it is equal parts both

[23:00:35] so because we have that metal um dusks are going to get a little more hp since

[23:00:39] the battle level was going to rise on this day,

[23:00:41] but we're able to kill them in one less hit.

[23:00:43] So they will technically still have similar HP as they've had in the past few days.

[23:00:47] Yeah so right there I put on Guard and Scan

[23:00:49] We can finally start seeing the HP, as Pthar mentioned.

[23:00:52] And we'll still have Guard which is going to be very useful.

[23:00:55] Yeah.

[23:00:55] We're gonna have a few sections here

[23:00:57] where Minton has to go basically take

[23:01:00] care of a couple mini games.

[23:01:01] But this is a good time to get to the basics

[23:01:03] of the video game. If you've never seen Kingdom Hearts

[23:01:05] before and you're like, what's this weird thing in the bottom

[23:01:07] left corner that says attack and items and all that?

[23:01:09] It's kind of like your JRPG menu

[23:01:11] In this game it is an action RPG, but you actually decide what your character is going to do by selecting it from the menu in real time and you have to do that with the D-pad so there are a lot of strategies and a lot of situations, especially

[23:01:24] later on in the run as Ninten has more mechanics

[23:01:26] available where he has to do menuing

[23:01:28] in mid fight like being able

[23:01:30] to pull off strats. In the middle of your combos

[23:01:32] and everything. Another very difficult fight right here

[23:01:35] yes right now they react to where the vb clones spawn and their attacks so whenever

[23:01:39] they spawn they always do a hop and then i can catch them at the end of their hot box

[23:01:43] they are being so mean too yeah just spawns there that

[23:01:46] was a really nice recovery right getting hit but ninten played that very well yeah it was

[23:01:51] definitely handle while i was just absolutely uh rough spawns at the beginning.

[23:01:56] That's pretty much really

[23:01:58] the only major RNG section of Roxas,

[23:02:01] the Roxas prologue section.

[23:02:03] Believe it or not, this Roxas section

[23:02:05] is actually one of the

[23:02:05] hardest splits in the whole game it's like one of those segments so

[23:02:09] like hainer in particular is so difficult as somebody who learned

[23:02:12] this game not too long ago it was like i spent so

[23:02:15] long on Hainer

[23:02:16] and then this fight here

[23:02:18] is a perfect example

[23:02:19] of how hard it is

[23:02:20] to do combos

[23:02:20] low to the ground

[23:02:21] because you're fighting

[23:02:23] Shadow Roxas

[23:02:24] who has your hitbox

[23:02:26] effectively

[23:02:26] which is extremely low

[23:02:28] and Roxas in general

[23:02:29] just scuffed his

[23:02:30] hitbox included

[23:02:31] to do those combos

[23:02:32] properly

[23:02:32] you got to do

[23:02:33] your first hit

[23:02:34] and really delay

[23:02:35] your second hit

[23:02:35] otherwise

[23:02:36] he's going to go

[23:02:36] right past

[23:02:37] his right ear yeah he's

[23:02:38] gonna hit you back and you're gonna have it looks like nothing but go boot up the

[23:02:41] game get to that point you know you will just whip over his head for minutes yeah

[23:02:46] yeah so you got to make sure that you time your combos very precisely, so for most of the

[23:02:50] combos in the game I will be timing it.

[23:02:54] But with that, I think we've hit our first stretch here and we're going to take a little bit

[23:02:56] of a breather.

[23:02:57] It's so cool how fast Kingdom Hearts runs are nowadays,

[23:03:00] especially with all the faster load times.

[23:03:02] Let's kick it over for some donations for about

[23:03:04] a minute or so. Oh heck yeah!

[23:03:06] We have so much love for The Runner here.

[23:03:41] I missed something when I went to dinner.

[23:03:44] One of those things in the middle there was not like the others.

[23:03:47] Tonight has been a journey.

[23:03:53] We have a $25 donation from Crazy Comics

[23:03:55] Hi Nintendo!

[23:03:57] Pops and Skype

[23:03:59] Spike

[23:04:01] Crazy Comments From the Kingdom Hearts 2

[23:04:04] rando community. It's strange to not

[23:04:06] see Trinity Fire or Limit Form

[23:04:08] in simulated Twilight Town

[23:04:10] Not only

[23:04:12] has it been an honor to race you all in a new way to play this incredible game,

[23:04:17] but it's cool to get to know y'all through it.

[23:04:19] Shoutouts to the wonderful Kingdom Hearts 2 rando community and all the other amazing friends i've made through it love y'all

[23:04:26] and may your hearts be your guiding key i feel so much better that we were not the first ones

[23:04:31] to bring up yeah i know i KH2Rando is amazing though.

[23:04:35] It's a great rando, yeah.

[23:04:36] If you even just enjoy this game casually go to kh2rando.com

[23:04:39] and try out the randomizer because there

[23:04:41] are so much that you can do to make it accessible for people

[23:04:43] who do not speed run.

[23:04:45] Unbelievably fun. And with that we're back into the action here

[23:04:47] And after we get rid of these two deaths

[23:04:49] We are going to find our first assassin

[23:04:51] These enemies are actually very tough

[23:04:53] Later on they can be pretty scary because

[23:04:55] They can one-shot you um getting hit there is fine just get

[23:04:59] them they take actually the same amount of hits as the dusts and then we have to run back over to the mansion and go through just two more fights before the end of Roxx's section.

[23:05:13] Yep, then we get Control-Sore and we get to start playing the game.

[23:05:17] To play the video game? Well, we actually get to start playing the game. Play the video game?

[23:05:19] Well, we actually get to see...

[23:05:20] Coming up in the next 15 or so minutes

[23:05:22] we'll get to see the first look

[23:05:24] of the costume bid war.

[23:05:26] Oh, that's true.

[23:05:27] I forgot we don't get to see that in the Rocks costume bid war. Oh, that's true. That's great. Oh yeah!

[23:05:29] I forgot we don't get to see that in the Roxas section.

[23:05:31] No. The Sora section.

[23:05:32] I looked up and they had the Nickelodeon bid war there.

[23:05:34] Are we playing as Danny Finn?

[23:05:37] Honestly,

[23:05:38] there's some pretty good mods for Sora.

[23:05:40] KHT Rando modders make a Danny Phantom

[23:05:44] mod now. No, can't play as Garfield! That would be sick.

[23:05:48] You had to will that into the world, huh?

[23:05:50] They're already working on it

[23:05:52] by the end of the run.

[23:05:54] So we don't have much in the way

[23:05:56] of movement options right now.

[23:05:58] You've been seeing Ninten use a bunch of like skateboards and stuff uh

[23:06:00] and this game is definitely much more about the combat like that the comet

[23:06:04] is is the bread and butter of it but i spike always likes to describe it as

[23:06:07] kind of the side dish yeah yeah yeah so I love little things like that where you hop over

[23:06:12] the hamster... Yeah, we'll be hopping over here right now.

[23:06:14] And then jumping over a corner to get around

[23:06:16] There's a lot of spots where

[23:06:18] you want to make sure that you are minimizing

[23:06:20] the amount of times you are like jumping and then landing somewhere because that

[23:06:23] landing causes you to kind of freeze in place for just a few frames look just

[23:06:27] a moment before you start walking again so that's why i like ninten even back there jumped after

[23:06:31] landing to go right into the doorway to get rid of that

[23:06:33] little landing animation.

[23:06:35] So here's our last mob fight, I would

[23:06:37] like to call it, where we fight four

[23:06:39] Dusks and we're going to be fighting more

[23:06:41] enemies after we get rid of three Dusk.

[23:06:43] So a nice pattern that happens in this game is that whenever there are multiple waves

[23:06:47] of enemies, the next wave will spawn after you defeat

[23:06:50] a certain amount of the previous wave.

[23:06:52] So right there, we're gonna watch out for the assassins spawn

[23:06:54] they always attack when they spawn and then after getting rid of the first assassin

[23:06:58] you get rid of the dusk and then just have this last one left

[23:07:02] Good fight. There we go.

[23:07:05] Heading into Axel 2 here, this fight is mostly like scripted in terms of how

[23:07:11] we're going to handle it in a speed run but things can easily go wrong and if

[23:07:14] they do anything's gonna have to react and that's all the action we were going to handle it in a speed run, but things can easily go wrong and if they didn't, then he's going

[23:07:16] to have to react. And that's a lot of fights

[23:07:18] in this run basically.

[23:07:21] You're really seeing

[23:07:22] a nice buff here from having that

[23:07:23] finishing plus, extending those combos and doing

[23:07:26] big damage. And now we get that reaction boost

[23:07:28] where you press triangle,

[23:07:30] there goes a lot of health right there.

[23:07:32] And all of a sudden...

[23:07:33] That's pretty much the end of Rockstar.

[23:07:37] Just going to walk through the next one. That fight is one of the examples of a fight

[23:07:39] in the critical mode run that actually

[23:07:41] is faster in Critical Mode compared to

[23:07:43] other categories. Oh yeah

[23:07:45] the reaction boost makes such a huge difference as well.

[23:07:47] The action boost finishing plus...

[23:07:49] Same with like taking...

[23:07:51] The struggle fights in general, all of them are faster on critical mode as well

[23:07:55] So we got our first big menu here

[23:07:57] A lot of things happening in this menu.

[23:08:06] That's just beautiful menus.

[23:08:07] I love menus in this game, man.

[23:08:09] They're so crisp.

[23:08:11] This game is so responsive with the inputs and

[23:08:13] menuing.

[23:08:15] Ninten did a few things there mostly took

[23:08:17] items from his party members which he's going to do a lot

[23:08:20] because items are very useful just like

[23:08:22] in any RPG speedrun

[23:08:24] and also took Donald Cure

[23:08:26] off I believe to make sure that you can actually

[23:08:28] take enough damage in this next fight a lot faster.

[23:08:30] Yeah, so the party member AI is something we changed a couple times throughout the run

[23:08:34] Right now they're making us attack all of the enemies that we are not attacking

[23:08:38] and we'll be messing with your settings every now

[23:08:40] and then so this fight is another fight that we

[23:08:43] can actually uh lose the fight and it'll progress again there's a couple fights

[23:08:46] like this oh nice guys that's the move you want to see from

[23:08:49] the dusk the upside Upside Down Walk.

[23:08:52] There is actually a good name for that, what was it?

[23:08:54] Uh... Nothing.

[23:08:56] It was just Upside Down Walk!

[23:09:00] Mess me up something? I don't know.

[23:09:02] But anyway, we're going to another fight where you can die and this time it's against

[23:09:05] Shadows which are slightly more annoying because sometimes they just will decide not

[23:09:10] to attack you.

[23:09:11] This one is like... yeah, it's one of those

[23:09:13] where it's almost runner preference

[23:09:15] on whether you decide to fight this fight out or

[23:09:17] take the hits because

[23:09:18] sometimes they act how you want them to and other times

[23:09:21] they don't but it takes three hits i will tell you

[23:09:22] in my time running critical mode i can't tell you the amount of times where donald actually finished

[23:09:26] the fight for me yeah i was trying to do no donald literally like i try to die and he'll just thunder

[23:09:31] all the shadows and fight for me.

[23:09:34] It's a theme in this game that your party members

[23:09:36] always do the opposite of what you want them to do.

[23:09:39] Because there are a lot of times

[23:09:40] in Kingdom Hearts speedrunning where you want them

[23:09:42] to just do nothing, Yeah, genuinely don't.

[23:09:44] Because then at least that keeps the fight consistent

[23:09:47] and locked down.

[23:09:48] Here though we'd like to see Donald using that thunder

[23:09:50] getting his Zeus on.

[23:09:51] That was a really good one.

[23:09:52] That was an insane first wave.

[23:09:54] We are the only people who play this game in

[23:09:56] the entire world, who don't want Donald to cure them.

[23:10:00] We took it off!

[23:10:03] Yeah so the shadows actually are interesting because...

[23:10:07] DONALD! Yeah, so the shadows actually are interesting because Oh! Guys, that

[23:10:09] was an incredible first tower

[23:10:10] fight. That fight is

[23:10:12] notoriously annoying to me, runners, because of

[23:10:14] the RNG shadows.

[23:10:16] But Ninten, you were saying about that...

[23:10:17] Yeah so the shadows as you can see they go underground and

[23:10:19] that's terrible because we have to wait for them to come back up

[23:10:21] but they actually have a frame where they're vulnerable

[23:10:24] And what happened there is I was able to catch them with

[23:10:26] really well timed Keyblade Spinning as they come out of the ground at that one frame.

[23:10:30] So it's very tight, uh... It's very tight to catch them.

[23:10:33] Yeah, we're not gonna have to deal with shadows too long in this run like they're not you're not dealing with them absolutely forever but

[23:10:39] there definitely are going to be more and thankfully awesome oh the triple the new

[23:10:44] v assist let's go that was an unreal tower.

[23:10:49] Just to finish that thought, thankfully we're going

[23:10:51] to have more ways of

[23:10:53] dealing with Shadows going up and down.

[23:10:55] You didn't even get a time to talk about how that fight worked.

[23:10:57] You just played so well.

[23:10:59] Quick kill there gets you just a little bit more experience

[23:11:02] and tiny bit of money.

[23:11:03] Again, the EXP routing is very, very tight here.

[23:11:06] Another one I always look for is seeing if he'll

[23:11:08] reach level 8 which has a Strength and a Magic increase

[23:11:10] on it at a certain point

[23:11:12] in Land of Dragons. We'll see when it pops up there.

[23:11:15] But you'll see he'll barely

[23:11:16] get it. So here

[23:11:18] is the incentive that y'all donated for.

[23:11:21] Timeless River Sora,

[23:11:24] the model that was never supposed to have color to it.

[23:11:26] And now has color!

[23:11:29] I don't remember,

[23:11:30] is this colored in the game game or somebody colorized it?

[23:11:32] No. I think someone actually colorized it. It was made by Jacob actually so he shouts at Jacob

[23:11:37] Nice!

[23:11:39] Gonna head over to Hall of Bastion here now

[23:11:41] At the top of the tower, got access

[23:11:42] to the first of several Drive Forms that we'll be getting in

[23:11:45] the run. These are kind of like a

[23:11:48] weird fusion kinda thing where basically you take

[23:11:51] the power

[23:11:52] of a party member, you can see Goofy's gone now in order to change

[23:11:55] your form and we're getting a timeless river valor

[23:11:58] form here which is very nice. It definitely looks really good.

[23:12:01] The drip on it is really cool really cool in this world we use

[23:12:04] valorform not just for movement but also

[23:12:06] for fights you'll see that

[23:12:08] um you're able to kill enemies a lot

[23:12:09] faster because you have two keyblades

[23:12:11] a lot new abilities with the blue and

[23:12:13] t blades and this is a fight that actually you keyblades, a lot new abilities with the cool-willing keyblades. And

[23:12:14] this is a fight that actually you can lose

[23:12:16] and you can die to which the level 1 category

[23:12:18] does but critical mode as I was saying

[23:12:20] is so tight on experience that we need

[23:12:22] the experience from this fight to be able to go faster later on in their

[23:12:26] own yeah that was our first look at the assassins and we'll be seeing a lot of them in the fight

[23:12:29] coming up here as well oh samurai yes had to whoop for the little over the rise.

[23:12:36] Yeah, whoop! Dude, I'm not

[23:12:38] going to lie. I thought it was a Canadian

[23:12:40] Maple Leaf.

[23:12:42] Yes, thank you!

[23:12:44] This is why we work together.

[23:12:45] I thought it was a Canadian Maple Leaf on his Thank you. Let's go. This is why we work together. I was going to say...

[23:12:46] I thought it was a Canadian Maple Leaf on his shoulder.

[23:12:48] I was gonna wait for the next Valor Forum use to bring that up, he's like, did anybody

[23:12:51] else see the Canadian flag?

[23:12:53] I'm so confused as what you guys were talking about.

[23:12:56] We'll see it later, we'll point that out later.

[23:12:58] This fight is awful!

[23:12:59] Yeah, so actually got a really bad pattern here

[23:13:01] So Leon hit the dust towards the back of the room

[23:13:03] All the enemies are programmed to go towards the gate

[23:13:06] Because we need to protect the gate.

[23:13:08] When it gets destroyed, we lose the fight

[23:13:10] but that shouldn't happen.

[23:13:11] So pretty much what we want Leon to do

[23:13:12] is also be at the gate and take care of these Dusks.

[23:13:15] I want him to stay there

[23:13:16] because after he kill all of these Dusks,

[23:13:18] Samurai are going to spawn on this side of the arena.

[23:13:21] And I want to get a Dual Stance which is

[23:13:24] a reaction command that kills everything around me

[23:13:27] and we can it by guarding the samurai attacks. So you want

[23:13:29] Leon to leave them alone right here so I

[23:13:31] can get a guard off and then get into a dual stance

[23:13:33] The creepers will spawn here as well

[23:13:35] And once they're gone, the last wave

[23:13:37] will spawn. So actually wanna attention to when they die.

[23:13:40] And this is where Leon can kind of hurt things

[23:13:42] as he will go and attack

[23:13:44] the Samurais and cause them

[23:13:46] stop their attack which

[23:13:48] it's like oh he's helping you know but that actually sucks because we

[23:13:50] want to block that attacker and provoke the reaction command nintendo handling

[23:13:53] it very well though we're under the last wave of dusks here probably going to throw out some

[23:13:57] blizzards if they stack up but they're not so just go with like regular attacks too yeah there's a lot of audibles

[23:14:03] that nintendo is going to have on the fly there's also the security system ruining things as well

[23:14:08] yeah but surviving at bailey is always something that you're happy about

[23:14:12] yeah just chiming in we have just less than 45 000 until 1 million

[23:14:21] i want it to be one million while we countdown begins. I want it to be

[23:14:22] one million

[23:14:23] while we're up on the stage.

[23:14:24] That would be cool.

[23:14:25] Make it happen.

[23:14:26] Okay, thank you.

[23:14:27] Now this is the mod.

[23:14:28] We don't have

[23:14:29] to go in this.

[23:14:30] Yeah, so...

[23:14:31] That was your

[23:14:31] Disney song for this. So... gummy niche yeah so now that kinder arts is on the pc and also recently on a steam version

[23:14:39] we're able to actually skip the gummy missions, which makes the speedrun

[23:14:44] a much better pace because we don't have to go through

[23:14:46] all of the auto-scrollers.

[23:14:47] So that cuts about nearly 30 minutes

[23:14:50] off the run. Yeah. Spike, could we get

[23:14:52] one note of let's make... or i'll make a man out of you

[23:14:56] that's all we have time for thank you thank you

[23:15:00] listen for every dollar we get closer to an alien we'll add a note

[23:15:06] all right so now canadian saura throwing down

[23:15:11] yeah this is another fight where shadows exist so it's awful

[23:15:14] um and they're being a little mean on this one in particular where shadows exist, so it's awful.

[23:15:17] And they're being a little mean on this one in particular.

[23:15:18] Sometimes they can kind of group up and Valorform will take care of them really well.

[23:15:20] The one nice thing is that

[23:15:22] Valorform levels up these Drive Forms.

[23:15:25] You can kind of think of them like jobs

[23:15:26] in Final Fantasy. They level

[23:15:29] up separately,

[23:15:30] independently of Sora and they're generally by

[23:15:32] using them. And the way Valorform levels up is

[23:15:34] by attacking enemies with Keyblade hits.

[23:15:37] So you can see Ninten just got level 2 there.

[23:15:40] The one nice thing about sometimes when enemies are mean

[23:15:43] is that maybe you'll at least get more experience on your dry form as a result.

[23:15:47] So here, now that we have reverted out of Valor Form

[23:15:50] and lost it, we're going to be making use of a spell

[23:15:52] which has got Fire

[23:15:53] And Fire is gonna be very useful against these Shadows

[23:15:55] because Fire actually hits in every single frame. So whenever we see

[23:15:58] a shadow underground about to come up, we can fire

[23:16:00] and basically guarantee that we'll catch it

[23:16:02] so we can't go back under. Yeah, and fire

[23:16:04] gives us back our drive much faster

[23:16:06] as well. So you see Drive Gauge on the bottom right, we want to hit 3

[23:16:09] to go into Banner Form. Other forms will be using different amounts of Drive

[23:16:13] so pay attention to that a lot throughout the whole run. Yeah Magic in particular is

[23:16:17] still good at recovering Drive. as this fire's hitting multiple enemies

[23:16:22] then once it gets a little you know once he takes care of those first shadows everything

[23:16:26] switches donald back in to help finish off enemies with that thunder

[23:16:30] and deal damage to them.

[23:16:31] Donald is definitely our strongest party member

[23:16:33] in terms of damage output at this point in the game.

[23:16:35] Yeah, and that will remain true for a lot of it.

[23:16:39] 30 EXP we can see from this level 12 you have

[23:16:43] just enough at the end of us where once he takes out this rider dress hits that

[23:16:48] level 8 and you see the magic increase right there that That's how tight the EXP routing is here even in

[23:16:52] the beginning because now with the help of two

[23:16:54] blizzards, he should be able to take out this first shadow.

[23:16:57] Yeah we're going to snipe him right here.

[23:16:59] It's actually pretty hard at times.

[23:17:00] Really tough to time.

[23:17:02] Yes! here it's actually getting pretty hard yeah time really tough to time oh yeah

[23:17:09] just nice good night donald good backup helping out there donald's kind of being a baller right now that's what we want to do something relatively new uh we used to just ignore these

[23:17:15] tents but now what did bg call the arson threat yeah we're gonna we're gonna burn down all

[23:17:21] these things go ahead and intend yeah we're gonna bring a lot of attempts here because it actually We're going to burn down all these tents. Go ahead, Ninten.

[23:17:23] Yeah, we are going to burn down all the tents here because it

[23:17:25] actually creates more room for the shadows moving around and

[23:17:27] they just come towards us.

[23:17:28] Except this one!

[23:17:30] This one is camping back there.

[23:17:32] This one did not feel like it today bringing goofy so we can kill this and go

[23:17:37] into valor form again valid from to end the fight quickly but we're also going to use it for some

[23:17:41] movement after the fight yeah one of the things I love about this is how we transition

[23:17:45] from using a

[23:17:47] drag form in a fight to immediately using it for

[23:17:49] movement, so it's got

[23:17:50] the double whammy. Spike and I can't get over

[23:17:53] the fact that this is Canadian Sora right now.

[23:17:56] Oh!

[23:17:57] I'm sorry.

[23:17:58] I was also laughing at the fact that she's like, uh...

[23:18:00] What are-

[23:18:01] I can't remember the male character's name from Mulan.

[23:18:03] Ping.

[23:18:04] Oh yeah, Ping.

[23:18:05] No no no, the leader.

[23:18:07] Oh, oh.

[23:18:09] He's like, could you

[23:18:10] please protect our campsite?

[23:18:12] I got this.

[23:18:14] No more campsite to protect, baby.

[23:18:16] This is the sixth round.

[23:18:18] The little movement with the delay right there and just able

[23:18:21] to alley-oop the Nightwalker off of that into the wall

[23:18:25] and still break it open because if you don't finish the animation,

[23:18:28] it doesn't actually break the wall. None of this is

[23:18:30] doing anything until the end.

[23:18:32] Really good manipulation and movement on

[23:18:34] Ninten's part. Ping tried to

[23:18:36] ruin it too.

[23:18:37] He hit the Nightwalker and to ruin it too like oh yeah

[23:18:38] then you hit the night walker and almost hit it too early yeah that's one thing i

[23:18:41] don't think we've mentioned this game but one thing that

[23:18:43] really works for our benefit in this game is that whenever you hit an enemy

[23:18:46] yeah they will hit you back especially later on in the run we're going to use

[23:18:50] that a lot to our advantage but that's just something kind of pay attention to now so heading

[23:18:56] into this cave fight nintendo gets re from Valorform here because like I said

[23:19:00] Valorform requires you to kind of team up

[23:19:02] with Goofy to use it. And

[23:19:04] Goofy gets pulled out of your party for this fight

[23:19:06] so that is important because you notice

[23:19:08] that drive gauge is at 3 it's maxed out even though

[23:19:11] Ninten was in Valor form.

[23:19:13] Uh...that's something we're gonna utilize a lot

[23:19:16] when the game takes you out of a Drive Form

[23:19:17] It'll absolutely fully refill it.

[23:19:19] Yeah so as I mentioned before how the Shadows go underground

[23:19:21] Fire is active for pretty much

[23:19:23] the entire time that it's out

[23:19:25] So if we fire around the shadows then they will never be able to escape

[23:19:27] the attack and we won't have to worry about them

[23:19:29] going undergrounds. It's a very useful spell.

[23:19:32] I'm just gonna let him attack here.

[23:19:34] Yeah, that was a safe call.

[23:19:36] He could do one of two things, maybe three

[23:19:38] and the spinning

[23:19:40] attack would've probably killed Ninten if you let it happen.

[23:19:44] Trust me, these fights are a lot scarier than they might look.

[23:19:47] Our live crowd is being awesome that they're clapping after all of this

[23:19:50] because I cannot stress to you enough all of us now we've all ran

[23:19:54] this before this looks or this is so much harder than i think nintendo ever makes it look yeah the

[23:20:00] specificity to every single fight is off the chart.

[23:20:03] Something we're very rarely going to have time to get into

[23:20:05] is that positioning in this game matters way more than you would think,

[23:20:10] so much.

[23:20:11] But we're heading into a fight here where Ninten... Are you going to do some EXP boost in here or is that more of a beginner's?

[23:20:15] No. We will be getting a lot of experience though.

[23:20:18] Alright, sort it out.

[23:20:20] Because we want two hits. I think we're looking for 126 experience

[23:20:24] until the next level.

[23:20:26] That'll set you up safe for Level 10.

[23:20:30] But in the meantime, Ninten's going to be taking care of these Rapid Thrusters

[23:20:33] with fire speed traps and regular combos.

[23:20:36] This is a timed fight so we can't speed up anymore.

[23:20:38] So you got about 35 seconds or so for donations now.

[23:20:41] Perfect I've got so many piling up!

[23:20:44] We have a two thousand dollar donation

[23:20:49] from delvin less than 50k to go for one million gosh chat Let's get that done.

[23:20:57] We have a wonderful donation from Dignified Beard for $50.

[23:21:04] Had to donate during Kingdom Hearts. It's been such a big part of my life i even named my cat

[23:21:09] kyrie i'll donate another 50 if the crowd and the couch can do their best to try to get

[23:21:15] my cats attention good luck to ninten and the rest of the runners all right folks let's

[23:21:19] get on that what was not the scariest unfortunately nintendo did not hit the level threshold yeah it

[23:21:26] will be okay though because we actually have a bit of

[23:21:28] a buffer here so i should hit it on the boss fight that you wanted for him then

[23:21:32] 10 being the very good runner lady is always has backups yeah which is the key

[23:21:36] to this game in general is always know all of your backups.

[23:21:39] No, no the keys are the blade.

[23:21:43] Thank you Backcouch for supporting me.

[23:21:47] But yeah now this is a good introduction

[23:21:49] to one of the big advantages

[23:21:50] of running this game on PS4 or PS5 or PC

[23:21:53] Is that your loads are significantly faster.

[23:21:56] So you can actually save warp and move to a different part

[23:21:59] of the world.

[23:22:01] And save enough time to do that instead of other strategies.

[23:22:05] Yep, so cool movement tech right there. We get hit

[23:22:07] to get damage boost on our way to this next fight

[23:22:09] I'll be doing this fight in Valor form, it's a little bit

[23:22:11] of a scary fight because we have to fight the Boat Towers in Valor and they like to

[23:22:16] just kind of face away from you and you can only hit where they're facing.

[23:22:27] So first we're taking to these nightwalkers uh that you could dodge oh of course it just barely lasted long enough mulan finished them off milan's milan now by the way

[23:22:33] oh and way more useful! Yeah there we go. That was a

[23:22:35] pretty good ending of that fight.

[23:22:37] Very sexy. Mulan actually got

[23:22:39] customized to Party

[23:22:41] Attack earlier as well if I'm not mistaken.

[23:22:43] So that way she can take care of some

[23:22:45] of the extra enemies in this fight

[23:22:48] so that they don't mess up the gate and make you lose.

[23:22:50] All right, so on Seanu here we're going

[23:22:52] to be running up to him

[23:22:53] and get...

[23:22:53] ...proccing the Reaction Command by parrying him.

[23:22:56] Because Reaction Command does a ton of damage especially on critical mode.

[23:22:59] And then this Reaction Command will also defeat the Nightwalkers if you time their right here.

[23:23:03] Which should actually give me a level 10

[23:23:05] right there.

[23:23:07] I don't know if we mentioned this about Valorform but

[23:23:09] because you have two Keyblades, you have the strength

[23:23:11] stats of both Keyblades

[23:23:13] so another reason why you do more damage in Valor for him.

[23:23:15] Yep, so he should go into his next phase here.

[23:23:20] Now we're going to guard this attack

[23:23:21] as you go into the Ratchet command again

[23:23:24] and thankfully this boss actually takes a lot of hits before he retaliates so we

[23:23:28] should be able to beat him before he gets a chance to do anything here yeah And the blizzard almost... Oh, I thought for sure that would kill it. Yeah, I did too.

[23:23:37] There you go! Very nice.

[23:23:40] Something about this game that

[23:23:41] I don't think any other Kingdom Hearts title has had

[23:23:43] is in order to kill a boss

[23:23:44] You have to kill them with the finisher

[23:23:47] Or some kind of

[23:23:48] special attack at least.

[23:23:49] Any magic spell counts but for like

[23:23:52] ground combos or air combos it has to be

[23:23:54] a finisher. Yeah, or you gotta be in like valor

[23:23:56] form and do certain attacks or something like that.

[23:23:58] So basically whenever we're finishing off a boss fight,

[23:24:01] We have to do a particular attack which is why I might opt not to do a full combo on them.

[23:24:07] I was about to say spike how about go the distance

[23:24:10] i don't know if you know that did zem come to this event dude i was just screaming during

[23:24:16] the ken griffey junior run a few hours ago.

[23:24:19] You're like, I'm not running this thing.

[23:24:19] I gotta run up my pipes, dude.

[23:24:22] We have quite a bit of movement here

[23:24:24] for the next fight.

[23:24:25] Yeah, I think the one last thing

[23:24:26] before we toss over some donations

[23:24:28] to mention here

[23:24:29] is that if you look

[23:24:30] at the bottom right,

[23:24:31] that drive gauge

[23:24:32] is totally locked up.

[23:24:33] So Nintendo would love

[23:24:34] to be using Valorform

[23:24:35] to run to the next

[23:24:36] fight faster

[23:24:36] but unfortunately

[23:24:37] can't due to

[23:24:38] story reasons.

[23:24:39] In the underworld

[23:24:39] of heroes,

[23:24:40] there's heroes. Yeah. But other than that we

[23:24:41] are continuing that adventure to one

[23:24:43] million dollars I want to see it during

[23:24:45] the Kingdom Hearts 2 run let's kick it

[23:24:47] over to the host let's hear some

[23:24:49] donations absolutely we have a 25 donation from kubaru donating 25

[23:24:56] money during one of my favorite games being doneinten, one of my favorite runners.

[23:25:03] I've been looking forward to this

[23:25:04] run all week and I'm so glad

[23:25:06] it is here. Great run with

[23:25:08] an amazing runner and couch.

[23:25:10] Best of luck on the run, Ninten. Time to ante

[23:25:13] up on getting these incentives met

[23:25:15] and support an amazing cause.

[23:25:17] Got it memorized?

[23:25:20] Putting my donation

[23:25:21] towards the bonus any percent run of Morrowind.

[23:25:25] Absolutely folks, if you haven't seen that there is an incentive live now for $20,000

[23:25:31] We're already at almost 3,000 to get a bonus any% run for that.

[23:25:36] Alright and we are on one of the scariest fights of the speedrun here.

[23:25:40] Yep.

[23:25:41] Let me just do this menu very quick.

[23:25:49] Alright. We would actually like him to cure us

[23:25:51] this time, but as everyone knows we'll see

[23:25:53] what happens. Yeah so we're gonna jump back and do a fire here

[23:25:55] so as uh thar mentioned the enemies attack you whenever you attack them and that's great for

[23:25:59] the bats because they actually do i think it was to reaction command bat cry which does a ton of

[23:26:04] damage it really one shots everything in this entire fight.

[23:26:06] So that was the first platform, there are three platforms

[23:26:09] and the reason this fight is actually extremely scary

[23:26:12] because we get two shot by nearly everything

[23:26:14] These Lancers do a ton of damage

[23:26:17] I want my party members to be here to body block for me right there.

[23:26:19] See, Orin or Donald actually took a hit there.

[23:26:22] So common! Yeah, that first person

[23:26:23] was not just swag from Ninten, although

[23:26:25] he does that too. But also it helps the party members warp up to

[23:26:29] you and donald took the hit as a result that was a beautiful second platform right there exactly so

[23:26:35] here's how much damage you see for the back right it might actually kill the Lancers and get close at least.

[23:26:39] One important thing about Hades Fireball is one, it can do a lot of damage to you but also when it hits enemies it can knock them away as well.

[23:26:46] Yep so now this isn is actually the last wave of

[23:26:49] the fight but large party can one shot me

[23:26:51] One more back crash should be enough

[23:26:53] Oh, this is a bit scary

[23:26:55] That was a good push. Yo! Nice option

[23:27:03] That's very good. That was SO good nice option that was so doesn't extremely down to the first platform with the bat like decided to move towards the exit so he could finish it

[23:27:07] on the ramp faster it is incredible yeah nintendo's showing his experience you know

[23:27:12] nearly 10 years of running this game at this point that i think even like we've done lots of runs with

[23:27:17] us i could see just grab the bat and start hitting the large body, right?

[23:27:21] But he knew, I have just enough time

[23:27:23] to fit in throwing a potion

[23:27:24] and still catch the back end of that

[23:27:27] reaction command. Use the Bat Cry

[23:27:29] and get through to the end zone. Great job.

[23:27:32] We're going to bring it up but we have potions customized because we're gonna

[23:27:34] use them as a safety tool throughout the run

[23:27:36] Every time I get hit, I want a potion

[23:27:38] cause I don't want to take a death

[23:27:40] Dying in this run we can't aim size enough is really

[23:27:44] bad yeah I can definitely use a lot of that

[23:27:46] yeah there's really nowhere you ever want to die yeah it would only be oh

[23:27:51] wait no Yeah, yeah, yeah. It would only be the worst thing that happens.

[23:27:52] Wait no!

[23:27:53] Oh no!

[23:27:54] What?

[23:27:55] No!

[23:27:56] You suck.

[23:27:58] You said it this time!

[23:28:00] Mickey was in our face.

[23:28:02] So we pulled one over on you chat wow that's never not good

[23:28:07] it's funny every time you got me

[23:28:12] well we need the next run ready to go.

[23:28:13] Where's Bloodbomber?

[23:28:15] But yeah...

[23:28:17] So there are several fights in this game where Mickey has a chance

[23:28:21] to spawn and kind of save you from losing the fight if you take a death that chance is

[23:28:27] actually guaranteed the first time you die in one of these fights so mickey will always spawn

[23:28:32] here if we if this is the first time we die in one of those fights.

[23:28:36] And it just turns out that

[23:28:37] he's generally faster here. Not even

[23:28:40] always, because Mickey can be a jerk

[23:28:42] and not really do that well, but

[23:28:43] he did pretty well there I think.

[23:28:46] So ideally that is the only other time we'll see

[23:28:48] Mickey throughout the entire run.

[23:28:50] There was like a thought to use him in one

[23:28:52] of their five. But again, as Hobbs said, the first

[23:28:54] time it's 100% guarantee. The next time I believe it drops

[23:28:57] under an 85% chance that'll show up

[23:28:59] and thankfully enough other

[23:29:01] strategies have been found to where that's just not

[23:29:03] necessary. It would suck if you had to rely on

[23:29:05] There's like a ton of background and mechanics happening

[23:29:08] throughout the speedrun that we probably can't get into

[23:29:10] all of them right now, but Mickey is one

[23:29:12] of them where we know the percentage chances

[23:29:14] of one will get Mickey.

[23:29:15] Thankfully we're no longer in the underworld so we can actually go back into those Drive Forms for movement

[23:29:20] and we'll reiterate it a few times but Valor Form is our fastest method of movement right now because you just run faster

[23:29:27] Even that room was so short,

[23:29:29] it's worth going into Valor Form

[23:29:31] to get the run speed.

[23:29:33] Right here we're just at 20 orbs

[23:29:35] 7 times 3

[23:29:37] is 20, so seven earns.

[23:29:39] It's so funny.

[23:29:41] I'm such a math brain and I've never thought just make sure you blow up seven.

[23:29:45] Seven earns.

[23:29:46] I've been running this game for four years and I never knew each one dropped three.

[23:29:49] I just killed her in the leg

[23:29:53] now nintendo needs to get 100 but there is going to be a large urn that drops a bunch of orbs later

[23:29:58] so he's just trying to kind of get as much as he can until that spawns and

[23:30:01] clearing out space for it yeah unfortunately yeah sorry yeah fortunately not unfortunately

[23:30:08] the spawn was right next to ninten now ninton's just gonna chill until we get the

[23:30:12] last wave it's better than a while in the middle of the room because this urn drops three big

[23:30:17] orbs each one worth ten hundred and hundred we clap for math let's go clap for math, let's go.

[23:30:21] We clap for math!

[23:30:23] Hey yo big math.

[23:30:24] Now we're going to be making our way down into the Underworld on

[23:30:26] our way to kind of a rough little gauntlet of fights coming up here

[23:30:31] but we do have about another 40 seconds, I would say

[23:30:33] to get another donation on that way

[23:30:35] to a million dollars!

[23:30:37] Let's get it! We have a $1500

[23:30:39] donation

[23:30:41] from the L12 Great cause, great gift donation. From DL12,

[23:30:44] great cause, great game,

[23:30:45] great time. What more can we ask for?

[23:30:48] We have a donation from the lovely

[23:30:49] community of Ninten,

[23:30:51] ZachTheRobot.

[23:30:54] For $500 I couldn't

[23:30:56] think of a better person to showcase

[23:30:58] this game to the GDQ audience

[23:31:00] than you Ninten! Keep crushing it!

[23:31:07] Also Zach has been doing a ton of awesome work on our interstitials so yeah yeah you're good to go for another one yep awesome we have a 100100 donation to MSF from Paji713.

[23:31:20] Always a treat seeing Kingdom Hearts 2 at GDQ!

[23:31:24] Good luck to youiaNin10.

[23:31:25] May the silliness keep itself in line today

[23:31:28] and may your turtles be nothingness!

[23:31:31] Shout out to Poggie.

[23:31:32] Shout out to Poggie.

[23:31:33] Poggie is a very good 80% runner of this this game so speaking of the silliness we have to do

[23:31:39] a mini-game here with demix defeat 100 clones you have to hit the clone

[23:31:44] to get them wild dance reaction commands and it's kind of random where Rasura faces

[23:31:49] when he does the command.

[23:31:50] So we want him ideally to face towards Demyx

[23:31:52] because that is where the clones spawn from

[23:31:54] but sometimes if we get knocked away far away

[23:31:57] it just slows us down a bit.

[23:32:00] Also fun fact is that the RC actually pulls in party members

[23:32:04] If you look at them they're gonna be pulled in by the end of the Magic Command here

[23:32:08] I thought all three of you guys that during your practice.

[23:32:10] Yeah, I didn't actually notice.

[23:32:15] 45 is around what we want to see on grid.

[23:32:21] And now, we got the Olympus Stone so we can go into Drive Forms now.

[23:32:25] Yep! And I was going to say Ninten also picked up an item earlier in a large chest that was a power boost

[23:32:29] Yes. That gives that one extra strength

[23:32:30] and as we mentioned before,

[23:32:34] that strength matters. Every single stat matters especially on crit like level

[23:32:38] 1 there's a certain point where those stats stop mattering but

[23:32:41] critical mode they're gonna matter the whole time. Oh yeah. And so right here is

[23:32:45] another fight that's kind of like an auto-scroller it's timed for one minute

[23:32:49] uh...but the interesting thing about this fight is that we can farm experience here just like

[23:32:54] the one in other dragons. I could also die so gotta be a little careful.

[23:33:00] I could also die as the bowling ball is inside of me.

[23:33:03] So a cool thing about this fight

[23:33:05] is that if you make Pete attack you,

[23:33:07] it will actually make his AI summon

[23:33:09] the next wave Ruby.

[23:33:11] Shout out to Slickzilla12 for finding that

[23:33:13] relatively recently. Yeah, it's a pretty new thing

[23:33:15] So the goal here is actually keep

[23:33:17] one soldier alive and have your party members

[23:33:19] or yourself kill him while Pete is retaliating

[23:33:21] And that will make them immediately summon the last wave

[23:33:26] uh a little bit too early i think he may yeah so that right there if the soldier was alive

[23:33:32] um after he started retaliating then they would have spawned right here.

[23:33:35] It's a pretty weird mechanic.

[23:33:36] I think his AI is in a state where he's just going to keep doing everything but summoning enemies.

[23:33:40] Yeah it's alright though because we got good experience.

[23:33:42] Oh there they are!

[23:33:45] Got one extra.

[23:33:47] And now the terrifying part is

[23:33:49] if you die in this phase of the fight

[23:33:51] You have to do that entire like minute or so

[23:33:53] effectively auto-scrolling segment over again.

[23:33:56] Bad RNG right there that he's immediately

[23:33:58] going into the pinball.

[23:34:01] Okay I think that both

[23:34:02] of the searchers died.

[23:34:05] So that's one of those examples where

[23:34:06] party members can actually mess up

[23:34:08] strategies they do because Donald hit the bat

[23:34:10] which makes them not

[23:34:12] do the bat cry attack. And now

[23:34:14] we have access to what I would call the Holy Trinity of limits that we get in this game.

[23:34:19] Those are abilities, you team up with your party members to do some kind of big attack.

[23:34:24] It's not quite like a dry form where you change your form entirely, but it's just a single attack that is really big.

[23:34:29] Trinity Limit is an extremely useful one and we will use for the entire rest of the run

[23:34:33] And it has two different forms of it

[23:34:36] The one that we care about here is Group Trinity

[23:34:38] Basically when you have Donald and Goofy with you specifically then you can actually use a three part well really even

[23:34:44] four-part trinity where you have a bunch of attacks that deal hits to a boss but no damage and at the end

[23:34:51] that big finisher, that animation you just saw deals damage based on how many hits you did.

[23:34:56] You're gonna see just how ridiculous that ability is in the next phase of this fight.

[23:35:01] But right now we are going to get up on the Hydra's back,

[23:35:03] Just like the audience just said

[23:35:06] And knock them out and slowly whittle them down with our base combat

[23:35:09] Yeah so if you don't do that Ratchet Command then he'll start stealing your health Knock them out and just slowly whittle them down with their base combat

[23:35:12] Yeah, so if we don't do that ratchet command then he'll start summoning more heads But as long as they're stunned

[23:35:14] We still have to get rid of three of them here. And thankfully party members are handling that over there

[23:35:18] So he has less health.

[23:35:25] Now coming up here I'm going to use another Trinity Limit because my magic came back just in time with the ability MP Hey Sarah.

[23:35:34] Yeah those Trinity limits and all limits take your entire MP bar, like every amount of blue that is left drop a little bit the second part of the trinity now just watch this health bar if ninja malach gear huge chunk 85 hits if Ninten will not care.

[23:35:44] Huge chunk, that's because it did 85 hits and if you get really lucky

[23:35:45] you can get over 100 hits on that

[23:35:47] It's absolutely wild

[23:35:49] Looks like Nathan is going to do a couple of hits

[23:35:51] See if he can get the kill which i think he's good

[23:35:56] wait wait wait there we go you know i never knew about that blizzard.

[23:36:04] That's actually really nice.

[23:36:06] I always went up to the door and go,

[23:36:08] no, that's great!

[23:36:12] That was a really good Olympus Coliseum by Ninten.

[23:36:14] Yeah, that is one of the nightmare splits for any category in this game,

[23:36:18] an Olympus Coliseum with the amount of RNG and skill it takes to react

[23:36:22] to the RNG you're giving the nintendo plate beautiful

[23:36:24] and it's just it's on top of that almost every fight is just so punishing in the amount of time

[23:36:28] you lose if you take a death so it escape you got to run all the way back pete yeah do that

[23:36:33] first minute section again yeah Yeah. Hydra,

[23:36:36] you have to get up on them and then Hydra's back again. Nobody wants to see that.

[23:36:40] So here we're gonna see Pooh. Yo my man!

[23:36:44] Winnie the Pooh just clarify yep

[23:36:51] We just brought the hero's crest right there it's really good keyblade we're gonna have that on for a while

[23:36:57] The Nintends We're gonna have it on for a while. The cutscene showed him

[23:36:59] threw me off. So we're having some physical latency

[23:37:01] there. Right.

[23:37:03] So just going to end this fight real quick, right there

[23:37:05] the slide dash did three hits on the soldier and that makes them do the Cyclone Attack which we actually did in the tower as well.

[23:37:11] But it's nice to have some action abilities that will speed up a lot of fights.

[23:37:17] Alright, see ya Grampy! all right see you grandpa check out grand poo world three tomorrow yeah that is the entirety

[23:37:26] of 100 acre wood that we'll be seeing in this room

[23:37:28] yep shout out to saving another five minutes yep

[23:37:32] four minutes or whatever it was oh yeah this is modded

[23:37:35] and now here we're also going to take a depth at the start. It's kind of a theme that, at the beginning

[23:37:39] of a new world you'll be able to see definitely just the first fight of it.

[23:37:43] Yeah and this does taper off towards the end of the run but...

[23:37:46] Just gonna remind him by his aerodonics rank.

[23:37:49] Almost forgot. But what were you saying, Hops? going to remind him about his aerodontics rank. Yes, yes.

[23:37:50] Almost forgot.

[23:37:51] But what were you saying?

[23:37:52] I was just going

[23:37:52] to say that tapers

[23:37:53] off the further we

[23:37:53] get in the run

[23:37:54] these fights that

[23:37:55] allow you to like

[23:37:56] lose enough health

[23:37:57] to finish them

[23:37:57] but in this early

[23:37:59] part of the run

[23:37:59] we're going to do that where we can otherwise some

[23:38:01] of them like you can either deal enough hits or you can just have it take enough time but dying

[23:38:07] is fast so i'm going to do that another nice thing about um taking the

[23:38:11] death abuse as well is that it skips the ending animation which

[23:38:14] just fades to black yeah uh we have a time for a couple quick

[23:38:20] donations probably perfect in a little minigame i've for a couple quick donations.

[23:38:21] Perfect! I've got a couple of themed

[23:38:24] donations for you. Eee!

[23:38:27] We have a $25 donation from Negrino that says

[23:38:30] Ninten keeps skipping the cut scenes i'm getting a little lost how much to get

[23:38:36] a quick plot summary of the entire kingdom heart series i'm sure straightforward if you watch the cutscenes.

[23:38:44] Nintent, you're just going to need to pause for a second.

[23:38:48] Here is the thing, if we let them run, you would be more confused!

[23:38:52] Yeah. I've got to catch a flight in the morning, I don't think we have time.

[23:38:55] And we have a $1,000

[23:38:57] donation

[23:38:58] from, please excuse my

[23:39:00] pronunciation, Ari

[23:39:02] Garion. I was going to try and

[23:39:05] summarize the plot of Kingdom Hearts

[23:39:07] but there's a 5,000

[23:39:09] character limit on donation comments.

[23:39:13] Very fair. Thank you for those donations. Into Thresholder here we have another boss, and Chicken Little is the...

[23:39:21] This is the first time we're seeing Chicken Little right?

[23:39:23] Yeah!

[23:39:24] This is the summon of choice for this fight.

[23:39:25] We'll see more about Chicken Little later and explain more

[23:39:28] but all you really need to know here is that

[23:39:30] there's always going to be two phases on critical mode

[23:39:32] just due to the way the boss works.

[23:39:35] And also summons are really good in this game they're

[23:39:38] really very good we're gonna use them a bunch i think uh i believe we'll be seeing all of them

[23:39:43] maybe about one of them okay yeah you should see Stitch in this one.

[23:39:48] I wasn't sure if he was going to get Pan or not.

[23:39:50] Oh my goodness.

[23:39:52] Yeah, I didn't know about Pan or not.

[23:39:53] Mr. Pan.

[23:39:57] But yeah, we'll talk more about

[23:39:58] Chicken Little later because that is the last

[23:40:00] use of Chicken Little in this world but...

[23:40:02] Yeah he's gonna really shine in the next

[23:40:04] two worlds we're going to go to where

[23:40:06] kinda explain those mechanics more

[23:40:09] but yeah another great place for like two

[23:40:11] donations before we get the beast awesome we have a 123 dollar 45

[23:40:18] cent donation from Brett.

[23:40:20] Come on y'all, let's get to one million!

[23:40:24] We have a $50

[23:40:28] donation from Jacob4260.

[23:40:31] So incredible to see my favorite runner run my

[23:40:34] favorite game! Thank you, GDQ and best of luck Nintent!

[23:40:38] Wooo!

[23:40:39] Jacob is the one that made this mod.

[23:40:41] That timeless

[23:40:43] river Sora is pretty cool, I cannot

[23:40:45] lie.

[23:40:49] Time for

[23:40:50] one more?

[23:40:52] $10 donation from Yovari!

[23:40:54] If we get to 1 million

[23:40:56] will Spike sing us a song?

[23:40:58] You know what? Sure!

[23:41:00] Yeah! Alright folks! You know what? Sure. Yeah. That's a good one, man.

[23:41:01] All right, folks!

[23:41:02] Viewer's choice.

[23:41:03] Oh my goodness.

[23:41:06] I've never seen that.

[23:41:07] That was very odd.

[23:41:09] Didn't say much of the movie. so that was beast yeah nice spacing of intense combos there

[23:41:16] to where the aoe of the second finisher could kind of fit in around beasts attacks

[23:41:22] because beast is kind of like a lot of other enemies you might run

[23:41:24] into this game then kind of just brick wall and they don't stagger if you don't use cogsworth's

[23:41:29] reaction command right there um so yeah sometimes you have to know how

[23:41:33] to fit in your hits even if they're not going

[23:41:34] to do anything. They're not gonna respond to it. And as more example of the save warping

[23:41:38] tech to just save a lot time on the movement? Yeah those are like

[23:41:42] biggest save warps right there.

[23:41:44] Going all the way from Beast Room

[23:41:45] all the way to the front

[23:41:47] where we're going to fight the boss.

[23:41:49] And what do you know it?

[23:41:51] More Valor Form.

[23:41:51] Yeah, coming into this boss too

[23:41:53] like this boss is a perfect example of how specific positioning

[23:41:57] is and how positioning can affect not just it can affect enemy AI,

[23:42:01] It can uh affect patterns behaviors or just other facets of the fight.

[23:42:06] Stepping back a little bit?

[23:42:07] You take a step back and that actually makes him go underground

[23:42:10] as opposed to going into the window

[23:42:12] and we do that because the window loses a lot of time

[23:42:14] so if we're able to beat him before he goes into the window then that

[23:42:18] will save a ton do a full combo here get a lot of damage in because we have us crest oh nice

[23:42:25] windows is fantastic not only does it save the time of not,

[23:42:28] of the enemy not going into the window but also

[23:42:30] Nintendo now has a lot more valor for him

[23:42:33] to be able to use in this next fight

[23:42:35] I think Will will end up reverting manually if I'm not mistaken

[23:42:39] So at the beginning of this fight we'll be doing uh one neat thing about battleforms you can actually enter combo early which you can't usually

[23:42:43] do in this way but some forms in this game that you ended early and that lets us make doctoring go into a super armor

[23:42:51] state and then he attacks right here we're going to use the limit during his retaliation

[23:42:57] try to catch him out of this looks like you you overdamaged him just a little bit.

[23:43:00] Yeah, and then do an upper slash which we just got.

[23:43:03] Knocks them into the air, get air combos in right before he goes into the jungle.

[23:43:07] He was about to trouble her.

[23:43:08] Your lock on reticle just went away

[23:43:10] yeah it's scary that was very good and that's the end of east castle

[23:43:16] just like that nice quick fight upper slash getting some really cool utility there.

[23:43:20] That little mid-ground finisher to knock them up in the air

[23:43:24] and kind of reset his ability to keep doing those air combos

[23:43:27] because with that Hero's Crest Keyblade

[23:43:29] we just got from Olympus Coliseum,

[23:43:30] we didn't bring it up a little bit of

[23:43:32] higher strength stat, but the big thing is its got air combo boosts is the ability

[23:43:36] comes with where your aerial finishers will do increased damage

[23:43:40] based on the number of hits

[23:43:41] that are in your air combo.

[23:43:43] You also see stuff like a combo boost version

[23:43:46] for the ground variants later

[23:43:47] on another keyblade we'll use,

[23:43:48] but Hero's Crest is going to be

[23:43:50] the king of your Keyblades for a while.

[23:43:53] Quite a while here.

[23:43:54] Another thing is that we're not exclusively

[23:43:57] using air combos anymore, Ninten is

[23:43:59] doing a lot of ground combos here and there

[23:44:00] mostly due to some of the abilities you've gotten like

[23:44:04] Sly Dash which is an extremely good gap closer. We talk about gap closers a lot

[23:44:08] when we do randomizer stuff or even just the regular speedrun because

[23:44:12] a lot of enemies don't spawn right next to you.

[23:44:13] They spawn further away, so you need something

[23:44:15] to close that gap and slide rush is good.

[23:44:17] Believe it or not one of the hardest strats in the game

[23:44:19] so I gotta focus on this.

[23:44:22] Very precise. nintenz just pushing that mouse god this is so hard to do

[23:44:31] legitimately we're not meaning this is really difficult. Oh my god!

[23:44:37] And without the Faith RC.

[23:44:38] Faithless. Ninten knows when

[23:44:40] Minnie is going to do her little orb attack

[23:44:42] which can sometimes put her slightly out of position

[23:44:44] but because he knows the timing and got into that fight set up perfectly

[23:44:47] he's able to react to it. Keep her next to the wall and push her to victory

[23:44:52] Her hitbox is basically like a circular hitbox and the wall is flat.

[23:44:57] So it's really hard to push her because if you go straight forward,

[23:45:00] then you'll move her away from the wall. You have to kind of push her inwards.

[23:45:04] Yeah we love frame fatales but we don't want to see this faith command in that last room.

[23:45:10] So this is one of the spots where Ninten's able to kind of catch up on experience or make sure

[23:45:15] that his experience is good. There's a lot of bolt towers in here

[23:45:18] that will get hit by this Faith Reaction command,

[23:45:21] and Ninten's looking at that experience value

[23:45:23] that pops up on the top left whenever one of them dies

[23:45:25] to see where he needs it.

[23:45:26] Yeah I need a lot of it here

[23:45:27] so we're gonna to spend some time

[23:45:28] level running just a bit.

[23:45:30] Yep,

[23:45:30] I think you want to be at 525

[23:45:31] in the next level

[23:45:32] if I recall correctly.

[23:45:34] One of the things is

[23:45:35] in this room

[23:45:36] it would be really hard

[23:45:37] to push mini

[23:45:38] because there's not like a wall right next to you

[23:45:40] to push her forward. So the fastest way to just move across is

[23:45:44] run for it a little bit, call her over, use that reaction command, that faith reaction command

[23:45:48] and then do it again over and over so since we have to

[23:45:50] do that anyways he can go ahead and spend you know take a small diversion

[23:45:54] to kill some bullet towers oh maybe just want to be fun more

[23:45:59] let's go yeah nice that is yeah you normally do not have

[23:46:03] to level ground that much so that was weird that was a good backup like a

[23:46:06] good recovery there but now we're back on track.

[23:46:12] Yep, just handing out to Hanabashin real quick and then this is what I consider the end of Erdi games so we are moving into the middle portion of the game where we have a lot more abilities and fights get a lot more intense. They have a lot more spells.

[23:46:22] This game is so fast when you don't have to do an obstacle every ten minutes!

[23:46:26] Yep, yep.

[23:46:30] Yeah it was one of those like... It always happens in speedrunning where

[23:46:33] the stuff that is under your control

[23:46:35] as speedruns develop

[23:46:37] just get faster and faster and faster.

[23:46:39] But the stuff you can't control the speed of

[23:46:41] like your auto-scrollers. They were just staying that amount

[23:46:44] of time. So I think with this mod, we're finally

[23:46:46] able to take those out. The run goes by

[23:46:47] still so fast. It also allows you to do things like

[23:46:50] use soft reset and stuff

[23:46:52] which kind of helps a lot. Oh yeah yeah there's a lot of practice tools as well

[23:46:54] yeah in that last minute you ninten put on the sardonic spring that we bought

[23:46:58] in beast castle gives them one more strength set at the end of this run

[23:47:02] everyone's gonna know one straight everyone's going to know one strength.

[23:47:04] One strength! It's huge!

[23:47:06] One strength will rule them all.

[23:47:08] On top of hitting that level up...

[23:47:10] We're really hitting a level-up by the end of the Windows here

[23:47:12] because we want it for the boss fight in this world?

[23:47:14] Yeah. So right now, we're finally going to

[23:47:16] really get to see what is so powerful about

[23:47:18] Chicken Little. So by creating

[23:47:19] specific distance between yourself

[23:47:22] Chicken Little and the enemies

[23:47:23] you can get this whistle command right here where he will draw all the enemies. You can get this whistle command right here,

[23:47:25] where he will draw all of the enemies in that are close enough

[23:47:28] and then you can start doing various attacks on them.

[23:47:32] Right here using that reaction command

[23:47:34] if we keep just a little bit of height right here,

[23:47:37] you can knock all of them out. That is a very hard first win there. And then smartly hitting

[23:47:41] one of the hammers because he knew who was going to fall just below threshold to get that last RC

[23:47:45] because he hit him and tapped him in the air. Beautiful finish.

[23:47:48] Chicken Little is a very particular

[23:47:50] summon where like what

[23:47:52] he does is pretty consistent

[23:47:54] but knowing how to control him and being able

[23:47:56] to control him mid-run is a very difficult thing to learn.

[23:47:58] It absolutely is, because like Spike was saying

[23:48:00] it's not just based on your position

[23:48:02] it's based on ChickenLittle's position

[23:48:04] the enemy's position and your position

[23:48:06] and how all of those things relate to one another.

[23:48:09] So very tough to do.

[23:48:11] I like to think this is a good example.

[23:48:13] We have four mob fights in a row here.

[23:48:15] The way this game works, our bosses... we have a really good idea

[23:48:16] of what we're going to do

[23:48:17] with a lot of bosses

[23:48:18] and we can kind of just try to execute the one

[23:48:20] specific thing we want to do. But

[23:48:22] mob fights are like, we have an idea of

[23:48:24] what we want to do. The game might not

[23:48:26] let us do that, but we have an idea

[23:48:28] and so you have to be ready to handle all of the different variations

[23:48:30] that can come from that if you aren't able to do to have it go exactly how you want it absolutely

[23:48:34] there's a lot more randomness within it's just that many more enemies on screen

[23:48:39] got any more variables that you have to worry about.

[23:48:42] Yeah so you mentioned having a get back

[23:48:43] drive before um there's actually a mechanic

[23:48:45] in this game where if your party members are not with

[23:48:47] you at the time then if you

[23:48:49] have a summoner or if you're in a drive form, it'll just give you back your drive.

[23:48:53] And so we actually use that throughout the windows here and this fight

[23:48:57] in particular, the party members will be with us

[23:49:00] So we can't use a summon in that fight, which is why we end it with 3 limit.

[23:49:02] Oh you have to do window 3.

[23:49:05] I was curious about the order of... That's a level 1 thing.

[23:49:08] You usually do two windows in different order in level one.

[23:49:11] This will be weird but it's fine no that's all right yeah

[23:49:14] you just do without chicken little i believe in you yeah we got this

[23:49:19] yeah here we've got one of the most infamous enemies for people casually in Kingdom Hearts 2.

[23:49:25] Yo shouts to Sora!

[23:49:27] Or shoutout to Donald!

[23:49:29] You know what? Sorry for taking it on the lip that was great.

[23:49:33] So this is how you hand out cards by the way because a lot of people you're just going to handle the cards by the way a lot of people

[23:49:34] don't know how to handle the cars let's just use counter guard yeah counter guards really good

[23:49:38] chicken little would be making quick work of them as well because not only can he group them up and

[23:49:42] they can't hurt you but also he could throw a baseball at him to knock them up in

[23:49:46] the air so they're vulnerable again but nintendo with a really good like on-the-fly routing here

[23:49:51] going for trinity limit strength increase there at the end.

[23:49:55] Now you'll have that strength for both Pete and Peep-Peep.

[23:49:59] Couldn't use Triggin' Little there because Nintendo wanted to use Valor Form here.

[23:50:04] Like he was saying, each of those windows, it puts you

[23:50:06] back in a room with no party members. You would get all your

[23:50:08] drive-back except the last one.

[23:50:10] The last one, your party members are still with you so

[23:50:12] you would remain with that Chicken Little

[23:50:14] out and we don't need Chicken Little here, we need Valorform.

[23:50:16] Yeah and one of the big reasons why we're in Valorform

[23:50:18] is that Valorform has two Keyblades

[23:50:20] and that affects our stats so we have

[23:50:22] the stats on both Keyblades

[23:50:24] which makes us do a lot more damage.

[23:50:27] So the name of game here is don't get knocked off.

[23:50:30] Yeah, and this is a good example

[23:50:32] of how long it takes to start another combo after a finisher.

[23:50:37] Ninten might use some like pause buffering here and there in this

[23:50:40] fight because he's looking to see if

[23:50:43] Okay, he's basically

[23:50:46] wanting to make sure that he's not going to be in a finisher when the game wants to throw him off because

[23:50:52] even though it might look like oh he's done with the attack he can hit triangle

[23:50:56] there's a long period of time there where you actually can't.

[23:51:00] Hinton has just enough drab to start this fight in valid form, which is pretty big.

[23:51:04] It'll save us a few more seconds on this fight.

[23:51:08] Yeah get that short validor Form combo right there.

[23:51:09] Now we're going to use Shrouding Limit here.

[23:51:11] Ultima gets a ton of hits especially because

[23:51:13] of the fire that's here so the fire racked up

[23:51:15] with a ton of hits here and that gets him

[23:51:17] into the next phase.

[23:51:20] That was good. The fire in this fight is actually very dangerous

[23:51:24] To have to interact with so it's good you just get out of this one immediately

[23:51:28] Yeah and this fight is a good example of something that's going to come up

[23:51:32] a lot later called revenge value.

[23:51:34] And Thar I know you like to talk about it as well.

[23:51:36] Oh, well revenge value is just basically a hidden mechanic in the game

[23:51:38] that the community found a while back and dubbed revenge value

[23:51:41] but its basically when your fighting a humanoid boss the community found a while back in Dub Group End Value, but it's basically

[23:51:42] when you're fighting a humanoid boss and even some Heartless and Nobodies

[23:51:46] When you hit them enough they will stop staggering and they will hit you back like

[23:51:50] he just did right there.

[23:51:55] But that's basically the mechanic built in by the devs to prevent us from comboing bosses

[23:51:56] from 100-0.

[23:51:58] Double tap, let's go!

[23:52:00] That's the end of time on server.

[23:52:04] Revenge value is going to be very important

[23:52:06] throughout this entire run, especially in ingame

[23:52:08] so we're gonna see a lot more of it

[23:52:10] Yeah that boss also is a good example

[23:52:12] how a lot of bosses will have multiple phases to them.

[23:52:14] In this one, you could only get to a specific amount of health and then he shifts

[23:52:17] to the next phase and that happens over and over.

[23:52:19] Some bosses, you can damage them totally past a phase, maybe skip a phase entirely.

[23:52:23] Others, you might be hard limited by how much

[23:52:25] damage you can do before they move into another

[23:52:27] phase so all of that changes

[23:52:29] up the strategies for the various bosses we do.

[23:52:32] And there at the

[23:52:33] end of Disney Castle getting a bunch of cool tools we're going to do later.

[23:52:37] Reflect your best magic in the game.

[23:52:39] Fantasia, the second of that holy trinity of limits and the wisdom form ability

[23:52:45] our next Super Saiyan form that we can blow up.

[23:52:47] Right there I ended the fight instantly.

[23:52:48] Something really cool about that right there was

[23:52:50] that I did a slide dash into a bomb

[23:52:52] and two pirates even though it didn't seem like it

[23:52:54] which did 10 hits.

[23:52:55] Shout out to SunZero for finding that strat right there.

[23:52:57] Yeah also ChickenLittle doing the whistle kind of affects

[23:53:01] the fight as well.

[23:53:04] These are some of the classic speedrun fights right here.

[23:53:08] And this is where you want to show people

[23:53:10] oh why is Chicken Little so good?

[23:53:12] Because how you spawn into these

[23:53:14] it perfectly sets up the distance

[23:53:16] he'll draw them in two pops.

[23:53:18] Nintendious has to move back very slightly, draw them back

[23:53:22] step back again drawing the soldiers that spawn in and then the alley-oop

[23:53:26] and we outta there.

[23:53:28] I don't think that strat's ever gonna change.

[23:53:30] No, right?

[23:53:31] I hope it doesn't change.

[23:53:32] Sometimes the double thunder doesn't even kill it.

[23:53:34] You kinda need chicken litter like all season fireworks

[23:53:36] and they have to land properly. So happy 4th of July!

[23:53:44] Going into a little bit of a menu here

[23:53:46] going to customize that

[23:53:48] Reflect spell we just got.

[23:53:49] And Ninten also took off Fire there, because

[23:53:51] Fire is actually at the top of the Magic menu

[23:53:53] so if Ninten ever needs to use it

[23:53:55] can menu it from the Magic menu pretty easily

[23:53:57] whereas some other spells are a little bit further down and might be more complicated to do.

[23:54:01] Yep so we got a

[23:54:03] little ambush here after you get rid of the enemies before

[23:54:05] we go to our destination

[23:54:07] Let's talk about these pirates a bit

[23:54:09] You notice that our magic interacts with them in an interesting way

[23:54:13] Our blizzard is going to be freezing them and we're gonna be doing that a lot throughout this world

[23:54:16] But the pirates are incredibly weak to magic

[23:54:20] So, we'll use Chicken Little, position them out of the shade because

[23:54:22] just like the pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean when they are in the shade their true form

[23:54:26] skeleton form shows and that's the only way we can do damage to them.

[23:54:30] We're gonna use Chicken little whistle the mouth shape

[23:54:32] blizzard keep him in place just finish him off some magic yeah this is one of

[23:54:36] our last time segments in the game and I think I'm looking to kill 12 pirates

[23:54:41] here because that gives us a good amount of experience uh but unfortunately they

[23:54:45] can just choose not to walk over here because you spawn in that section over there yeah this fight

[23:54:51] and several of the fights in this world are actually quite scary.

[23:54:54] You have the crossbow wielders

[23:54:58] in the back there that can just

[23:55:02] if they stagger their shots just right you might have to either

[23:55:05] not attack for a long time or

[23:55:07] just get shot and that is

[23:55:09] not what you want to have happen

[23:55:10] where and the like Axemen if you don't

[23:55:13] have them sucked up by Chicken Little's little group magnet effect

[23:55:18] then they can also deal a bunch of damage to you. It is absolutely brutal.

[23:55:22] One nice thing to point out is that Chicken Little has HP drains

[23:55:25] so every attack we do with little out would give us back hp

[23:55:29] oh nice the beautiful lineup right there on all those blizzards

[23:55:34] so easily again i think i was tired even yeah we got 12 there which is good

[23:55:39] jinton did pick up a chest in that fight and that wasn't just by accident or just to goof around

[23:55:43] we need that item later to get an elixir towards the end of the run. Yeah, we just need one synthesis

[23:55:48] item. And now

[23:55:50] we have one of the scariest fights here

[23:55:52] in like mid-game portion of the run

[23:55:54] We got boat fight

[23:55:56] Yep after this ambush real quick. Well yeah.

[23:55:57] Find us out to get more experience.

[23:55:59] Boat fight is actually really scary on critical mode because we want

[23:56:03] Trig and Little to position the enemies in a very specific spot

[23:56:07] We wanna kill them

[23:56:08] at a certain time so we're going to walk backwards here to get the whistle out

[23:56:12] the cannonballs are really bad because they give them the status effects of

[23:56:15] fire which makes them run around with like

[23:56:17] a super armor state so they don't get affected by anything

[23:56:21] just i mean then we hit 160 000 40k left to 1 million Woo!

[23:56:30] Yeah, you can see that pirate just walked right through that blizzard

[23:56:34] because they were in the shadow. Yep so we're gonna gather them all up right here

[23:56:38] Again watch out for the cannonballs. We want them to be on

[23:56:40] the stairs because the cannonballs don't show up on the stairs and Chicken Little

[23:56:43] will continue to whistle in here. He gets some good air combos in now they're

[23:56:48] gonna spawn down there we want to get a whistle on both of

[23:56:51] them just like that pop another ether full mp back

[23:56:57] and these are the last few pirates actually went really well

[23:57:00] yeah that was good, that was fantastic.

[23:57:02] Because the thing about that fight is it's scary for multiple reasons.

[23:57:05] Yeah you can die and that's just an ever present danger or you can lose a lot of time because they can just kind of hide around in the shadows

[23:57:13] and stuff, but also you could run

[23:57:15] out of Chicken Little if Chicken Little gets

[23:57:17] hit too much, uh, and that would

[23:57:19] lose you all your drive, and you can see Nintem

[23:57:21] just went into Valor Form form here so he wouldn't be

[23:57:23] able to do that and the next section that we have is quite a bit of running

[23:57:27] and not having valid forms it's going to lose you a lot of time in that section

[23:57:30] yeah and i cannot tell you how many runners

[23:57:32] have lost runs to justice this Barrow's minigame.

[23:57:35] It can be so hard.

[23:57:38] Now we're going to run over to Barbossa...

[23:57:41] This is like a good example of just how fast Valorform running is compared to Reckless Aura.

[23:57:46] Helps you even dodge the attack there, run all the way through.

[23:57:50] We don't need any of the chests in these rooms, we're just going to head straight to the boss

[23:57:53] and then Ten's gonna open that one up with valor form

[23:57:56] then eventually revert so i don't know if i got this in time you've got it you did yeah

[23:58:00] that just sounded like you just wanted me to be alive

[23:58:04] one up with dollar for him and nintendo media yeah yeah i don't know... You're going to open that one up with Valorform and Nintendo immediately.

[23:58:05] Yeah, yeah.

[23:58:06] I don't know if you were going to do it before I said that.

[23:58:10] I thought Nintendo was just doing a bit.

[23:58:12] Oh, I want to see if Final Form is in there.

[23:58:14] That's a rando joke.

[23:58:15] Rando joke number two! That's a rando joke. Rando joke number two!

[23:58:17] That's a rando joke.

[23:58:19] Alright, big Valor combo there and then

[23:58:21] Reverts didn't quite get an immediate

[23:58:23] retaliation from the boss so

[23:58:25] would have used Reflect on that if possible but instead going into Blizzard

[23:58:28] combos. Blizzard's gonna freeze the boss

[23:58:30] Barbossa is in fact a pirate

[23:58:31] So he freezes

[23:58:32] And then again doing those air combos because that

[23:58:35] air combo boost ability on Hero's Crest, the

[23:58:38] Keyblade we're using. It's going to make you do a lot

[23:58:40] more damage. I'm willing to bet

[23:58:42] that nobody knew you could freeze Barbossa

[23:58:44] when you played this as a kid.

[23:58:46] Unless Donald accidentally did it.

[23:58:49] That might be the lore.

[23:58:51] That might be what happened.

[23:58:53] Because the game, I know you always bring this up

[23:58:55] Hobbs, but the game tells you.

[23:58:57] The first cutscene, it's like one of the first cutscenes in the world, they're like

[23:59:00] Don't hit the pirate! Don't let him hit them with your magic it's so strong

[23:59:04] We were like I didn't listen. I didn't listen Keyblade Press X

[23:59:08] Dude I was just freaking out because Pirates of the Caribbean

[23:59:10] Yeah right?

[23:59:11] Why does Sora look so weird in this world?

[23:59:15] He's got the good pattern right there on the bandit

[23:59:17] Want to get this massive bag

[23:59:18] Gonna buy more ethers We haven't really talked about it much, but your MP bar is actually shortened in critical mode if I'm not mistaken?

[23:59:27] Yes.

[23:59:28] Magic is very good! It's a very good resource, you've seen us using it a lot.

[23:59:32] As well as limits which use that entire bar or however much of it is left.

[23:59:37] When you use all your MP bars, you have a purple MP recharge state where you have to wait out this long timer to come back.

[23:59:45] But if you use an Ether, even if you have one MP, it fills you all the way back up so Ether Aether's extremely valuable in this run.

[23:59:53] Absolutely.

[23:59:55] Big menu put on there and

[23:59:57] Ninten can talk about in just a second what was

[23:59:59] up there but first going to be using Wisdom

[24:00:01] Form our new drive form from timeless river

[24:00:03] to move around because it has that quick run ability and it kind of like lets you ice skate

[24:00:07] along on the ground so it helps there's no more lag frames really as you land before

[24:00:12] you can keep moving from this this point forward, more or less

[24:00:14] Wisdom Form is going to be our fastest form of

[24:00:16] movement and we're barely ever

[24:00:18] gonna use it in fights. It's pretty much just a

[24:00:20] movement tool with the exception of leveling

[24:00:22] it up which we'll see in this world.

[24:00:25] Which I know I've talked about before.

[24:00:27] Yeah, so Wisdom Form levels up from defeating Heartless specifically

[24:00:29] and there are a ton of Heartless that will be fighting

[24:00:31] We're forced to fight in this

[24:00:33] world, so we go here first instead of Halloween Town so

[24:00:36] can level up Wisdom Form to Level 3, and that's when Sora will get access

[24:00:40] to the Quick Run ability himself. Yeah cause those Drive forms as they

[24:00:44] level up their abilities get stronger and they unlock some

[24:00:47] abilities for regular Sora when he's not

[24:00:49] in the Drive Form. And one of those is Click Run.

[24:00:52] All our donors

[24:00:52] must be wearing Wisdom Form!

[24:00:56] Ayo! Donating to

[24:00:57] Doctors Without Borders, we are

[24:00:59] so close to a million! Keep those donations

[24:01:01] rolling and you're doing such a great job folks!

[24:01:05] Two hits from that wave thing

[24:01:08] will kill me. I was going for

[24:01:10] a really hard scrap where you can actually push Abu

[24:01:12] just like we pushed him in here earlier in the run

[24:01:14] But again this time

[24:01:16] just like he said Hobbs you're on ice skates.

[24:01:18] With no wall next to

[24:01:21] you to help.

[24:01:23] So Ninten is going

[24:01:24] to be using wisdom form here on this

[24:01:26] falling chasm of Challenges section.

[24:01:29] Again every single one of these small little tiny enemies

[24:01:33] counts as 1 experience for Wisdom Form if they are killed while in

[24:01:37] Wisdom Form. And you remember how I said,

[24:01:39] in this game when you hit enemies

[24:01:40] that will hit you back?

[24:01:42] That is really good for us here

[24:01:43] because we,

[24:01:44] this is really our first instance of seeing reflect

[24:01:48] in the game which is a very powerful ability so we're gonna be

[24:01:51] baiting a lot of enemies in this world to hit us so we can just basically

[24:01:53] destroy them with their own attacks essentially yep see you'll be seen that

[24:01:57] right here I use a blizzard because that staggers the fat bandit.

[24:02:03] And then we can retaliate and

[24:02:05] reflect into a blizzard right there.

[24:02:07] This game is so cool! Yeah.

[24:02:09] Yeah, I love the fact you can link your magics into your combos,

[24:02:13] so you do an opening hit into a Blizzard,

[24:02:16] into a grounded finisher,

[24:02:17] into a Thunder at the end.

[24:02:18] Very, very cool stuff they did with this.

[24:02:21] One of my favorite strats

[24:02:22] the entire game is so cool

[24:02:24] you reflect the projectile

[24:02:26] from the fortune teller

[24:02:28] use trinity limit to

[24:02:30] lock yourself onto the enemy, which then moves you

[24:02:34] and your reflect.

[24:02:35] Which makes the damage apply to me.

[24:02:37] Yeah, that was a showcase of solo Trinity.

[24:02:40] Yeah we can talk more about that as well later

[24:02:42] because we have another little farming section here.

[24:02:45] But this is a required fight so we're not going out of our way to farm Wisdom form here.

[24:02:49] Lots of really small enemies there's level 2 on wisdom

[24:02:52] So Nintent is going to

[24:02:54] back out of it.

[24:02:56] We're trying to do our drive back here. Again,

[24:02:58] fires are very good for putting back drive.

[24:03:00] You want to make sure that there's enough enemies left in the

[24:03:02] room that we can hit level 3 wisdom.

[24:03:04] So there was about 32 there, I believe that we need 36

[24:03:07] in total from the beginning to hit level three

[24:03:10] and we got rid of them. There it is! You see quick run

[24:03:13] Level 1 Sora got unlocked and that was the big reason we wanted to do that

[24:03:18] oh good damage there from the reflect the quick menuing getting aladdin out into goofy

[24:03:23] so we can get this trendy limit off to hopefully defeat all three fat bandits

[24:03:27] one two three they're down if you don't do that ending wave like if you don't realize

[24:03:34] oh i'm about to finish off the last of the enemies before that the fan bandit spawn everything

[24:03:39] goes horribly yes like if you're not absolutely ready to reflect into eternity limit you are very

[24:03:45] likely going to die and have to redo that fight.

[24:03:47] And once again, a lot of it's spacing and timing if he is a little off on his

[24:03:51] timing Donald might die right there because the bat bandits are very powerful now we go

[24:03:55] into the boss of this world,

[24:03:59] the Blizzard and Volcano Lord.

[24:04:00] Yeah, so at the beginning here I'm going to use a Reflect to actually build up back our Drive because we want

[24:04:02] to get three Drive back pretty soon

[24:04:04] here in the fight. We want

[24:04:06] to get Donald to take a death intentionally here, because whenever Donald is dead it won't give us anti-points.

[24:04:14] Anti points are what the game uses to give you anti for him. So if you ever play this game casually,

[24:04:20] you can get anti form every now and then. Every time you use a drive form it basically builds

[24:04:24] up more points and when you get to certain point you will get anti form.

[24:04:28] Right there we do that on purpose so that we cannot get anti-form.

[24:04:30] And this is a good showcase of the phases that bosses have,

[24:04:33] so we have to hit them with the finisher to get into next phase

[24:04:36] and use Valor Form to defeat all of these small enemies right there

[24:04:39] and finish off the fight.

[24:04:43] Just one more air combo should kill this fight

[24:04:49] Donald died again.

[24:04:51] Oh, yeah!

[24:04:53] As is par for the course we finish a world

[24:04:55] We get a cool tool

[24:04:56] Got Finishing Leap there

[24:04:57] Which is a finisher that Ninten can use

[24:05:00] Instead of mashing X to finish off a combo.

[24:05:02] You can press square at the end of a combo, it'll not only hit

[24:05:06] a bunch of enemies around him but also pop him up into the air and ideally whatever

[24:05:10] enemy he's attacking, so we can continue with an air

[24:05:13] combo really good for chaining attacks on enemies in addition to also getting access to our next

[24:05:19] summon friend genie right there which will be using a number of very cool instances throughout the run

[24:05:24] so now that we have that quick run that is going to be our main mode of transportation

[24:05:29] wow that looks weird on this sort of uh our made more mode of transportation throughout the Sora are made

[24:05:34] mode of transportation throughout the majority

[24:05:36] of the run. So now we're going to summon Genie

[24:05:38] as we just saw in his

[24:05:40] probably least sexy usage

[24:05:42] throughout the entire run

[24:05:43] he's out because he won't do anything yeah cool sexy usage throughout the entire run.

[24:05:45] He's out because he won't do anything.

[24:05:47] Cool, there we go.

[24:05:49] We don't want our party members out because they will attack those white knights

[24:05:50] and prevent them from killing us.

[24:05:52] Thank you to the three people clapping

[24:05:54] for not doing anything.

[24:05:56] That was great!

[24:05:58] We didn't make a wish, what do ya want?

[24:06:01] I just wanna point out that we die in one attack from those guys.

[24:06:05] The game is still very hard at this point

[24:06:08] yeah that really never goes away you will always be

[24:06:11] one to three hits away from and we're actually going to be taking a hit on purpose here

[24:06:14] yep oh yes this this strat is very difficult

[24:06:17] to do but it has to do with the timing

[24:06:19] of these reflects is quite

[24:06:21] particular. Ninten

[24:06:23] taken that hit because we got an ability called

[24:06:25] Experience Boost which whenever Soar we got an ability called experience boost which what it does

[24:06:28] which whenever soar is below 50 hp he gets double the experience from

[24:06:33] killing enemies and we want to hit level 18 before we go into this next boss

[24:06:36] fight prison keeper and because we are in that critical

[24:06:39] hp 18. oh an aggressive play from nintendo to actually drop out of it saying i could kill

[24:06:47] the second one faster with just regular Sora.

[24:06:49] Yeah and what's important there is that I'm the one who delivers the final blow on

[24:06:53] enemies because if a party member does it then you don't get the experience boost.

[24:06:57] Again a lot of those kind of jrpg style mechanics coming into play right

[24:07:04] thanks goofy

[24:07:07] nintendo quick running on over to our next boss here, Prison Keeper.

[24:07:12] Yeah so in Prison Keeper there's a bit of RNG at the beginning

[24:07:15] There is a lot of RNG present in this run but a lot of it is reactable

[24:07:19] So what actually makes the run really cool is that there is a lot of it is reactable. What actually makes the run really cool is that there's

[24:07:21] a lot of reacting to what's going on

[24:07:23] in the run. So right here

[24:07:25] he can choose between three different kids.

[24:07:28] We don't want to see Shock. Barrow is

[24:07:29] actually the best RNG.

[24:07:32] Can I do a Reflect? And then hopefully your Taliyah's right here,

[24:07:35] do another Reflect and go straight into Dance Claw because

[24:07:38] Dance Claw is one of the best limits in the entire game.

[24:07:41] Yeah this would be... Dance car is one of the best limits in the entire game.

[24:07:46] Yeah, this would be in our Holy Trinity we were talking about earlier if you could use it everywhere but sadly because it's tied to Jack Skellington

[24:07:50] You can only use it in this world.

[24:07:53] Yep, so we're going to get out of Dance Con here.

[24:07:55] We're gonna go into Valor Form and this is for MP refill

[24:07:59] and also just do a lot damage.

[24:08:00] Want to get him into the last phase?

[24:08:02] We actually skipping one of the kids um by doing enough damage

[24:08:06] mid uh phase right there it's like that dance call is really important to keep them staggered

[24:08:11] i'm gonna do some extra damage here.

[24:08:13] This is a shock attack that we don't want to see, but it's okay on the last phase.

[24:08:17] Now we're gonna do an air combo to make him retaliate again hit revenge value

[24:08:21] and then go into reflex in the trinity limit

[24:08:25] Oh! That's so good!

[24:08:29] And this last break right here should be enough. I love

[24:08:31] this part. Beautiful.

[24:08:33] Also getting flashed up on top top right of your screen there, that is another...

[24:08:37] It's basically Slide Dash Lite.

[24:08:40] It's basically just a shorter range slide dash so it's another good gap closer and

[24:08:43] it can combo with Slide Dash to help make sure that you're staying right up next

[24:08:46] to enemies. Right

[24:08:50] Quick dono in celebration of that awesome boss fight

[24:08:52] Absolutely, go for it! We have a $25 donation

[24:08:54] from NeoSci.

[24:08:57] Ninten is one of the most talented people I've ever met,

[24:09:00] and it's awesome to see him running

[24:09:01] one of the best games ever!

[24:09:03] Thank you so much.

[24:09:05] For our full plot summary,

[24:09:06] A good friend once said

[24:09:08] kid loses friends and island and wakes up

[24:09:12] and dog and big key darkness.

[24:09:16] Actually that was great! That was the best ever plot summary I've heard.

[24:09:21] Let's go, ESI.

[24:09:23] So Ninten doing some thunders against the boss here.

[24:09:26] They are not doing any damage but we're actually doing them because

[24:09:29] one, we want to get our drive back

[24:09:30] and by doing thunders, we put ourselves in

[24:09:33] MP charge and something we haven't explained yet

[24:09:35] is you get drive back faster when

[24:09:37] you're in MP recharge. Yeah, you can kind of see it's glowing

[24:09:40] orange. It's

[24:09:42] bright and shiny because you're getting

[24:09:44] enhanced recovery rate

[24:09:46] So this fight is

[24:09:48] very long. I think a good fight on critical mode

[24:09:50] is around 3 minutes. You know there's something

[24:09:52] wrong with the fight when a speedrun strat

[24:09:54] is three minute long, right?

[24:09:58] So this fight, it's mainly because it is a big auto-scroller.

[24:10:00] We have to let him summon 12 presents and knock them back

[24:10:03] And as the fight progresses

[24:10:06] He starts summing them less frequently

[24:10:08] So we are doing a trick here called present skip

[24:10:10] I'll let Thar explain this one

[24:10:12] Yeah so the reason we got drive back

[24:10:14] We want to summon Chicken Little because

[24:10:16] he's about to spawn two enemies

[24:10:18] and we want to keep these enemies alive

[24:10:19] So we use Chicken Little to whistle them over, go into the FPS mode

[24:10:22] which is Chicken Little's limit-esque

[24:10:25] basically pull them beyond that

[24:10:27] punching glove because as you saw for

[24:10:29] one of them it kills them so we use this to keep it alive we're gonna swap

[24:10:35] out goofy i think so he doesn't kill that one over there and what this does is it prevents

[24:10:40] oogie boogie from spawning more enemies on this belt and just lets him

[24:10:44] spawn more boxes for us to knock them down.

[24:10:46] Ninten even throwing a thunder on it so that it wouldn't

[24:10:48] get up to the spikes and potentially

[24:10:50] die of its own accord.

[24:10:52] That's also so it doesn't despaawn if you just leave it alone and don't perform

[24:10:56] the action it will just go away because yeah he's trying to get a double present skip effectively

[24:11:00] yeah yes right here if the enemy was gone we got the way

[24:11:04] um a little bit longer

[24:11:05] to get into the middle here.

[24:11:06] But we can go instantly and now it can die to the spikes.

[24:11:10] Wonderfully done.

[24:11:11] That is not easy to do in a fight that...

[24:11:14] If you get hit by one of these

[24:11:15] pieces of lightning that's raining down,

[24:11:18] it's probably just going to calm you until you die.

[24:11:20] That fist that keeps

[24:11:22] coming down? That's a one-shot from

[24:11:24] Full Hill. So Ninten's listening to so many different sound effects

[24:11:27] as well as some of these patterns are predictable uh to be able to just know how to handle this fight

[24:11:34] yeah thankfully when you do the Reactor Frames

[24:11:36] You have iframe so you don't take damage during it

[24:11:39] But its very easy to get flipped by things in this fight

[24:11:42] And its such a huge time loss if we die

[24:11:45] Here the boss can move twice So that we lose a tiny bit of time like two

[24:11:48] seconds or something is it really yeah wow i thought it was

[24:11:51] too much lingers longer than you would think

[24:11:54] yeah that is awful um that's just random there's nothing we can do about that.
