Was a Summer Games Done Quick 2014 highlight reel ever compiled? I enjoyed rewatching the AGDQ 2014 highlight reel a couple times and was hoping the same thing would be done for SGDQ.

I think UraniumAnchor wanted to finish it in time for it to be a preshow stream opener for AGDQ but I don't know if that actually ended up happening or not.

The Samus shirt owns and is goon designed, and the Kaizo shirt is probably my favorite and will be the one I get.

There will always be people recording and uploading runs to youtube and that reddit thread will link to them for any muted vods. I am not the biggest fan of linking to youtube uploaders making money off of other people's content, but there isn't any other choice if vods are getting muted.

Yeah, one of the comments on that reddit thread is a dude who is recording the stream and will be uploading it to Youtube in 6 hour chunks, and he's probably not the only one.

He was often starting in last because he kept burning out like an idiot.

That run sucked and it shouldn't have made it past cuts.

I didn't enjoy the run either but the burnout was 100% intentional just to drop to last and get better items to try for fun skips.

full-game wrs are pointless in Generations, ILs are the actual measure of skill. He's OKAY at safe-strats and the missions and other gimmicks,, but safe strats are boring and no one cares about the missions.

You don't do ILs in a marathon setting. You grind ILs individually for hours at a time.

Okay, I'm getting overinvested. I went from "mocking" to "angry" and it was silly and unwarranted. I'm just getting a little fed up of the mediocre runs that have characterized so much of the marathon so far.

Maybe you should've been around for the Sega block. Those were all really solid runs in games way more worthwhile than Sonic Generations.

Mockball isn't an IL strat. Admittedly I don't know how many of the things you were referencing earlier are risky IL strats and which are more RTA safe, but I get the impression you wouldn't have been happy with anything except the craziest strategies and would've just gotten mad when he didn't get them first try every time. In short I think you're a crazy dude and should go take some deep breaths before you drown in your needless anger.

Nah, it's doable enough with setups, and the run is short enough that you can grind it out a lot of times pretty quickly.

They kinda touched on this, but with clear data from the Gamecube game Path of Radiance, any character in that game that reached the level cap and also capped some of their stats will receive a +2 bonus to whichever stats they did cap in this Wii game, Radiant Dawn. HP I think might be a +5 bonus, though. Also, one character actually does die between games, so his bonus stats from PoR are transferred to a replacement character in RD of a completely different class.
