That route is just :psyduck:
It's so weird seeing a new route. I feel like I haven't seen some of the rooms Behemoth goes through since I played through the game in 94-95.

I wonder if this will change the route for any of the other categories.

Hi.
Goddamn there's a lot of talent in that run. To my amateur eyes, there were only a couple obvious mistakes, could save like 10 seconds. Can't wait to see what the other runners do with it.

This made me grin like an idiot. gently caress Plasma, Get Spazer. Zoast and Kottpower are both on top of the current Any% RTA and RBO rankings, excepting this time right here, so I can't wait to see them go after this route.

Much like buttholes, families are meant to be tight.
Can someone explain some of the major differences in that run. I've wtached a bunch of SM runs, and played it as a kid, but don't know it well enough to tell the difference between what's been happening for the past few years and that.

Last night was mad strong. Sinister1 tied Matt Turk for the Tyson IL (2:13.XX), then Darkwing Duck nails the very first sub-31 TLoZ 1st Quest no up+A warp with a 30:37 (no highlight yet).

drat. One frame-perfect punch away from the record from what I see. Not sure what bad luck Sinister is talking about in the description though.

Here's Zoast's 44:08 run for comparison http://www.twitch.tv/zoasty/c/4968734
That run, which has a :28 in-game time, is still the best for in-game time as SM is weird and doesn't count certain things as part of the in-game timer.

Zoast's boss route is the standard game route: Kraid (big green guy), Phantoon (one-eyed ghost), Draygon, then Ridley last before going to kill Mother Brain. He grabs items like Space Jump (the multiple jump item you get after beating Draygon) and the Plasma Beam (strongest beam in the game) Behemoth uses a boss route of Phantoon, Ridley, Kraid, then Draygon and skips Space Jump+Plasma Beam, though he gets the Spazer Beam which is the second most powerful beam. Behemoth's first two boss fights are slower because he has less items to use on them but the route is overall faster in real-time, though it only registers :30 in-game time.

Maybe there's some other stuff someone else can point out but that's what I see as someone who doesn't play the game but watches Zoast, Ivan, and Kott a lot.

Usually it involves Tyson's RNG throwing certain delays before punching. IIRC, after every punch Tyson has a chance to delay by a few different set amounts of time before throwing another punch. In the third phase, watch the timing between punches 1 - 6, then the pause between punches 6 and 7. If Tyson didn't delay there, that would have been an untied WR.

It won't be long though, we've pretty much settled on one hotel. Just needs to nail down a few particulars for the contract IIRC.

So there's mild drama concerning behemoth's new Super Metroid route.


SGDQ sure has changed alot in the last two years...





edit

TMR is up to Kid Icarus, finally. Doubt it'll be as entertaining as pie's run, but that game is brutal the first time through (especially if you don't read the manual, like TMR).

He would then proceed to see the run to completion, something he apparently hasn't done in a year, and improve his RTA time by almost an hour. Final RTA was 15h 10m something while the final IGT was 14h 39m.

I have no idea if that's now the new world record since I'm not much into the Persona speedrunning community if there is one.

Both of them seem to do series marathons more often than actual runs. It's cool to watch though since they both possess encyclopaedic knowledge of all the games and show off good poo poo as they go, I just genuinely can't remember the last time Carci did an actual run of an RE.

He said he was taking a break from runs back before SGDQ, but since he's got subscribers he has to keep a bit of a schedule.

His chat is also kinda bizarre. They get on some weird topics.
