I think Simply Simon proved that Top Spin is actually useful if you know how it works.

Top Spin is good. In places. When you don't have any other options, and you already know what you're doing since Top Spin has some really dumb attributes (like constantly draining even when in contact with enemies in mercy invincibility, meaning it's TERRIBLE against many things it does not one shot).

What I'm saying is that it's very dependent on the situation and even then is rarely the best option, and this is coming from probably the only person in the race who actually used it for something besides boss-smiting successfully. It's not made any better by the fact that it sucks in a lot of situations it should ACTUALLY be good (Someone in the race vid tried using it when swarmed by bees- a horde of one-shot melee-contact enemies that Top Spin SEEMS custom-built to thwart. What HAPPENS is comedy gold because Top Spin is unreliable as gently caress at even doing it's goddamn job.)

Stay tuned as there'll probably be another race through this game with different people!

Man, that was actually a pretty close race, at least until Psych started getting ahead halfway through the Doc Robots.

Megaman races are the best races. There's just something about them that makes them more entertaining than other races.

Agreed. I'm kinda sad I missed out on my chance to get in on them. Hopefully if I hop in now I can manage one. I'll add you on Skype, Smite.

Sadly I'm a little unqualified to participate in the BoI race.

Binding of Isaac RNG Race 2013 is in full swing. Here's how the tournament is going to operate:

This is going to be a 3-round event. I am going to eliminate approximately 50% of the racers each round so that only 6 are left for round 3. I will rank your performance on what your best cleared floor was. It doesn't matter whether or not you've cleared the alternate version of a floor (Utero is ranked the same as the Womb). In the event of a tie making or breaking someone's survival, I will compare initial clear times of this floor. For a labyrinth, you clear the first floor after boss 1, and the 2nd is cleared after boss 2. (e.g. if you die on the 2nd boss of Necropolis XL, I will consider you having cleared The Depths 1.)

You may also have noticed that there aren't groups listed above; Who you actually race with doesn't matter (unless they finish really, really fast, which will limit your number of attempts). As usual, I'll not be assigning anyone into groups. Doing so usually causes more problems than it solves. Make sure you are familiar with the rules.

Lots of people are planning to race round 1 today. If you wanted in and your name isn't listed above, it would appear that I've missed adding you for some reason. I had a lot of new applicants, so just shoot me a PM and I'll fix it. We can still accept new people until Jan. 26 (Saturday), at which point I'll probably be working on the videos and preparing for Round 2.

I have a small question. You mentioned the clear time for a labyrinth being after you cleared the second boss. Does this hold for other floors, i.e. does clearing the boss early and then going through the floor mean that you have a shorter time for that floor than you actually spent.

No, I should clarify that the floor is cleared when you jump in the pit, and the only exception to this is the first "half" of a labyrinth where I will go by the frame a boss dies.

Anyway, before we're overcome by an onslaught of Binding of Isaac videos, let's contribute to the onslaught of Mega Man videos! As I stated previously, some other people wanted to also race through Mega Man 3, so let's give it one more go.

This time, we have A Raving Loon, Iron Chitlin, Killer Emcee, yours truly and thevoiceofdog. Ragny guests as he tries to beat the one Mega Man game that previously made him give up. Will he succeed this time around? Will Iron Chitlin manage to beat one robot master? Watch the video to find out!
