It's basically a frame perfect button press with unreliable cues to press it If I remember the commentary correctly, it's not even exactly frame perfect, in that you can actually hit exactly the correct frame and the game just randomly decides whether you get the prize or not.

Yeah, it was fixed in the NTSC release but in the original Japanese 1.0 you have about a 30% chance of it counting even if you hit the correct frame because the timer is way more precise than the frames. Like the timer counts hundredths of a second when the game only runs at 30fps. Any time from 9.99-10.01 means you hit the correct frame but just got hosed. The runner hit the correct frame more than 20 times.

Correct, its frame imperfect (basically) for the Japanese version, whereas it was made easier for the overseas market.

Brother Entropy posted:i think people have learned their lesson and a new chat thread for the next event would be fine and drama-free with an obvious 'keep things work safe ya dummies' rule I also really missed the chat thread. The discord just isn't the same, like at all. I really, really hated the pornography posting though. I'm glad that poo poo got shut down. Hopefully we can have a chat thread for speedfriends at the next GDQ event. Dumb Lowtax posted:I have to give my strongest recommendation to the Minecraft run. Agreed! I didn't watch it live because I figured it wouldn't be great. I was totally wrong and I'm glad I caught up on it. What an excellent run!

It was great when MajinPhil got his revenge a few days ago by nailing 10:00 on the 1st try. Though this actually makes me wonder if some of the chips that the N64 uses for timing might go slightly off over all of these years, and become unreliable for activities like this specific instance. Phil came back to his own N64 and it worked but the unit at GDQ was probably not his own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg1ZKHnnwsc&t=3030s

I was just going through part of the thread for the Pokemon Let's Go speedrun and saw this:DEEP STATE PLOT posted:maybe if they listen to the community and shitcan llk for being awful they'll hire you as their new artist. would be cool imo. Is there some controvery involving llk? All I know is that this is the person that does the banners and stuff for GDQ. I don't really pay attention super closely to speedrun politics (as watching SGDQ like 2 weeks after it ends will probably tell you), and google isn't getting me anything.

Portaxx is/was also a reader on The F Plus, which has its own history of picking targets that in 2019 most good-hearted folks would leave well enough alone (the podcast has mostly grown up in recent years).

My favourite runs from SGDQ: Half-Minute Hero by dowolf - A JRPG that goes by blazingly fast even when played casually becomes hilarious as a speedrun Titanfall 2 by Bryonato - Lots of really cool speed tech in this one Blindfolded Punch-Out!! (Wii) by zallard1 - Just a legendary run, one of the all-time greats Silent Hill 3 by Punchy - The run itself is good but it's the ending that really elevates it Divekick by RagingCherry and ESAM - A tight race of a goofy-rear end minimalist fighting game?? Pretty fun. Shrek Extra Large by Silo_Simon - "Fart Boost Jump" T.R.A.G.: Tactical Rescue Assault Group by CavemanDCJ - Cozy couch teaches us the meaning of friendship (and anime). Funniest run this year Remnants of Naezith by XepiccatX - A game you've never heard of that looks really slick when played skillfully Invictus by Dode and Grand Poo World 2 by MitchFlowerPower - A pair of great Mario Romhacks played at an incredible level Lots of great runs this year, hard to even narrow down a list.

Minecraft was the highlight of the event for me because of how lucky the guy got and how advanced the skills have gotten in that community. The Metroid/ALTTP run was very watchable to someone not familiar because it had really funny commentary throughout, though kind of mean spirited. Someone needs to post a clip of the dude nailing the voice acting of like six sesame street characters at once The Zelda NES run was very tense, very close, and very technically impressive

They weren't my biggest favorites, but I want to point out that both Half-life runs were quite good, if you haven't seen one in a while. Pokemon Let's Go was fun even if the run itself wasn't all that technical and intense.
