and we'll be right back.
Thank you. We'll be right back. so so so so so uh. Thank you. so so I'm sorry. so so so so ¶¶ Hello and welcome back to Summer Games Done Quick, held here in beautiful Minneapolis, Minnesota.
It is my great pleasure to introduce myself. My name's Hockey Babbleble, I'm gonna be here with you for the next couple of runs just taking it really easy.
We're going to play a couple very chill,
very comfy games like Doom 64
that traditional cozy cute game that everybody
loves. So we're
going to get really comfy here in the
late night hours so grab yourself a nice
warm drink, get a comfortable
spot set up, check your posture
make sure you've got everything you need to sit back relax and enjoy
I have a few wonderful donations to read for
you. We want to start off here with
this incredible donation
from anonymous
It's a $6.66 donation
that just says DOOM! Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom!
There you go. Perfect crowd. Thank you so much.
I just wanted to get you hyped for this extremely cozy comfy game that everybody loves.
Alright and with
that said I am excited to introduce you to Zillow who will be running
Doom 64 at Watch Me Die speed All right, hello everyone.
I am Zillow.
Zillow however you want to say it never matters.
Happy to be here for SBdp 2024 with doom 64 one of my favorite games so you might
have seen the doom 1 run i did at agdq and i talked about how that was my first sitting on
my dad's lap playing it at three years old.
Don't know why you do that.
But 64 was the first game I owned as a kid
and this is my personal favorite in the series
so I'm really excited to show this off.
I have two wonderful commentators if you want to introduce yourselves
Howdy, I'm Peaches, used to run
this game on the console
on the N64 about like 10 years ago or something
like that and came out of retirement
learned the PC tricks and help out with commentary.
And, I'm Brian Otto as per usual when I'm on the couch
I haven't actually played this game before but
I love FPS runs so
I am really honored to be here thanks Thanks so much for having me, Zello. Thank you very
much. So we're going to go ahead and get started here. I know we're a little low on time,
so we're going to be doing the main game. This is going to be Watch Me Die difficulty. This
is the equivalent of ultraviolence in PC Doom. So it's going to be pretty hard, and speed
is the any percent moniker.
We're gonna get started in three, two, one...
DOOM!
Okay so there's going to be a lot going on right at
the start. One callout I want to make is that the opening
area is one of the most dangerous, because
these shotgun guys, as soon as they get line-of-sight
they're going to try to shoot. The only
way to avoid damage is either by breaking line-of-sight
or interrupting them with a shot yourself now uh this blue key
is hidden here in this like hallway the whole bunch of these shotgunner guys and they can roll
up to 45 damage per hit so there's a lot of rng right in the opening part of this run
uh also rng is these pinkies here and
if they trap you in a corner, they can do a little bit of damage but
otherwise once you move out of the way then you can kind of like break their melee attack.
Couple of them trying to block his way here and really nice quick first level! Well played!
Yeah that's unironically one of the scariest so...
Alright right at the start there is another callout That's unironically one of the scariest, so we'll let that go. We went out of the way.
All right, right at the start here there is another callout.
We're going to be doing a key bump and a key bump
is something where when you're moving around
the game does a couple checks in different orders basically first you move and then the game
checks if you are able to pick up something and then after that it checks if you're supposed to
actually be in that spot or not so So by running at that pedestal,
Zillow was able to grab a key
that was on top of something
that he wasn't supposed to reach.
On top of that though,
additionally,
he also pressed a button
which started off a macro
and a macro is the way that
the game kind of does more complex things
that happen in sequence.
As a result, though, you can't actually have
two macros going at the same time
so he pressed a button
that started kind of the puzzle
in that room, the way you're supposed to get that blue key
and while the key was teleporting around
he was able to go through a hallway that has like squishers
that come from the ceiling but
the squishers couldn't actually squish until they key finished teleporting so by
pressing that button um you know way back in that first room it was able to save a lot of time by
running quickly through the hallway okay so berserk Pack here is going to top us off on health
And there's gonna be all these hallways
that are just stuffed to the brim with enemies
So in Watch Me Die...
Actually hold it up for a second
because I'm gonna explain this yellow key here. So normally
you could bump
this key as well by grabbing it
before solving these puzzles, but we're
going to solve it naturally and get the key without
bumping it, because in doing so, we're also going to open up this room
in the back that has 20 rockets in it. And the extra time that it takes us to get those rockets
is worth it, because we are gonna be doing a lot of DPS with it later on
Gonna top off on health here,
and man we're like
already almost done with level 2.
It's going so much faster than I realized!
Just playing the game on my own just trying to
remember how it plays and can't even keep up with it.
Okay.
Main engineering, we're going to get the super shotgun here
and for the most
part in this game whenever you kill enemies
there's a couple different reasons for it i got
some different priority one of them would be that you want to
kill enemies uh i guess if they're in your way or if they're sort of like
um you know like a high threat or something but there's also other
enemies that you want to kill
because they're linked to a trigger.
And we're going to see that here in this room.
There are certain enemies that we can kill
and certain enemies that we can leave alive.
And we need to kill
a couple ones
that spawn here
in order to get
the yellow key
but Zillow's standing
in a really specific spot
this is going to block
one of the enemies
from spawning in
and it's almost
sort of like
I guess
like a reverse
tele-frag, where by standing where
its trying to spawn in you just completely prevent it from ever
spawning. It doesn't count as a kill,
it's just precluding it from even existing. So in doing
so, it just made that room a little bit faster to clear out
there's still some cacodemons alive here
but Zelo killed exactly the ones that were
necessary to spawn that yellow key
So having done that, we're going to go back here
with the yellow key and
get this rocket launcher here which is going to be an
extremely useful weapon
on a per-rocket basis. The DPS
is like kind of give or take about the same as a super shotgun
but there's also splash damage and it fires faster as well.
So the DPS of the rocket launcher
is significantly preferable to the super shotgun
so we're going out of our way to get as many
rockets as possible, including going into some secret
kind-of like cubbies over on the side.
Grabbing the yellow key here
and then there's one more
secret that's not... you know it's like
You just press this panel here and it reveals a super armor. A lot of survivability
Nice level. I do want to say we have a flashing warning at the beginning
When I pick up a soul sphere there will be some
flashing lights in a hallway for about 10 seconds so just be aware of that it'll come up right after
we cross this door yeah usually whenever you um like pick up something really valuable that's not
secret you'll get like punished by enemies spawning.
Instead they punish you by having flashing lights for whatever
reason. Thanks.
We'll get to the end of the hallway and then we're clear so right
about here we're good now. Yep, give them
flashing lights and maybe this is a good segue.
The flashing lights there were controlled by line def.
It's like I guess like a segment on the floor that when you cross
over it,
it controls something that happens. And line deaths can be tied
to enemy spawning, they can be tied to items... That's also how
teleporters happen to work. They're just like a square, like a 2x2
square of line deaths so when you walk on them it'll teleport you somewhere
else is the lined up effectively like just like a trigger sure yeah here in other games yep yeah uh
and nice level again geez So all those Hell Knights
in there were like,
they're pretty dangerous.
They want to like
stop you and smack you
for a ton of damage.
I think it goes up
to 88 damage
which is pretty substantial
when there's multiple of them right there.
One of the changes in 64 specifically is that there is a 15 frame
tick delay when you fulfill the exit condition by either stepping into
portal or hitting a switch,
you can still take damage and you could still die during that.
So I have to be very careful not to die whenever I try and leave somewhere.
Yeah, and having that happen means that Zilli would lose all the rockets
he's been accumulating and he would lose the backpack which raises his ammo cap.
Even though sometimes it is pretty hard to reach
and watch me die since he's firing so many shots
trying to get as many rockets
and cells
and ammunition as he can.
So this little here tech center
very, very complex for how early in the
stage it is. There's a lot of different
hallways, a lot of winding paths, a lot of backtracking as well. And also a lot of different hallways, a lot of winding paths. A lot of backtracking as well and also
a lot of enemies that are in the way and that's just kind of like how Doom 64 I guess managed
to sort of have interesting levels. That was a max damage hit.
Yeah, that was rough.
But yeah, Doom 64 has a lot of really tight labyrinthian
levels and there's a few enemy archetypes
that are missing from this for memory constraints.
And so, there's not really that much enemy variety.
So in the higher difficulties they just like spam Hell Knights and Barons.
This game loves Barons.
Yeah.
And they really like to block you in hallways. Excuse me.
So what are we both doing in there?
Geez.
Yes.
So everything in this game is really random.
Enemy movement is random,
damage is random, your own accuracy with bullet-based weapons
is random...
Probably the way Doomguy wears his underwear
is random, I don't know.
I would have never guessed that this game was
inherently so random. I don't know, it's just not something
that comes to mind when I think about the Doom.
So there's a ton of randomness but it's all kind of
low stakes right? Sure.
The whole run is about mitigating the different
randomness that happens. And that was an example
of even though Zelu stepped
into the teleporter that started
the end of the level, he still managed to get hit afterwards.
Thankfully it wasn't like a too critical...
Can you die?
Yes you can, yes.
You will death exit and that is not good for the run.
It'll force you to start the next level.
I'm sorry for speaking that into existence, my bad.
There are other Doom games where that is actually useful
but this is not one of them
But since my health is pretty low compared to what I want
like 110-111 looks great. That's not great for
this level so we're going to take a bit of a detour here.
Yes. Um, I need to get this
hidden megasphere which will refill me back up to
200-200. Oh, well thankfully I saved
just now. Yeah you don't get any air control once
you can like leave a ledge and so if there's an enemy that you kind of like
bonk into you'll just lose all your speed i can't believe that still made it
uh yeah so not only is zillow topped off on health now but
there's also a whole bunch of spare rockets down here.
Which doesn't hurt you know? So it's kind of like I guess a safety strat,
It's like this multi-tourer, but it's a big stock up.
And then you are basically always running diagonally
in this game, right? Right, yes.
So that's referred to as SR40
I guess that's meaning something about
like the angle of the vector or something like that
I don't know. Anyways it's about a 20% increase in velocity
over just running straight forwards.
There are some other kind of ways
you can stack strafe lock
but that is actually not in this game.
But classic gaming will go a little bit faster than that
but here we're stuck at SR40.
Yeah so here this is like a sequence break
being able to jump over this gap
on the bridge without raising all the stuff.
Is this enabled by SR40? That's right, you're not able to make that
without at least having the Diagulum running.
And this is really one of the most dangerous levels in the early game.
Probably the single-most dangerous.
This room here is terrifying, we call this the American Gladiator Room
because you have to run across these...
Oh wow! That was actually really good!
That was so good! there are so many enemies
there and they're a whole bunch of lost souls that are kind of like waiting in
the dark there and if you give them a second they will start swarming you and
block those jumps.
Yeah, and if you have to climb out of the pit you'll probably trigger a line def that
triggers a whole bunch of specters that you
have to fight. And if you try and make it
easy by killing the Barons with your very limited
rockets, you'll just spawn a Pan Element elemental at the end and that's no good.
Yeah so first try on that is like amazing really really good
Okay there's line to have skip here um so by aiming at a really specific
part of wall and it's very precise very very very precise
there you go so great demonstration so the lost souls were trying to spawn but by running
so quickly over oh nice very nice i know this came out rocket jumps yeah that's pretty cool yeah so um
yeah by shooting the rocket as well uh zelda got a little bit of extra momentum which allowed him to
cross a gap that was even bigger than you can normally make with just the SR-40. Wow!
Yeah, so by running really quickly through the hallway, Zello is able to skip
the lost souls that were trying to spawn.
Really big time save just by getting them out of there.
Right?
If I may...
Please, please, please.
Was that line depth skip just like kind of like,
I don't know, walking on a tightrope
in between two triggers effectively? Yeah, pretty much.
So the movement in this game is not
smooth movement. You can think of it more
as warping from location to
location every frame. So you're on
one side of the line def, one frame and then you get so much speed when
the game updates your position.
Then you're on the other side of the line def.
Oh that's fascinating! That's so cool.
Yeah, in that case it was beneficial
there are some times where it's not beneficial, so
either by
opening a door or something like that, or spawning an item
that you need, it's possible to skip a line death
that's detrimental.
In addition, something that is really clever about this game is
there's a lot of kind of like architectural tricks they use to sort
of get around engine limitations and if you skip one of those line
deaths you can break the map unintentionally.
All right so we're going to try and skip a floor trap
right here by being in just the right position.
Yep.
And there we go.
Nice swap.
Yeah, so what's supposed to happen
is the floor is supposed to drop underneath you
and some enemies pop out.
It's not like a huge time save, but it's free time, so why
not? Okay, so we talked about key bumps
earlier, and it just so happens
that key bumps don't even necessarily have
to be done facing forwards, which is kind of interesting
because on the map your character's a triangle and you might think
that like the point on the triangle is where you're most
likely to pick something up. But you're a square
so what you can do is you can actually
just like turn around backwards
and pick up stuff backwards.
And that's useful here because Zellu's visual cue happens
to be the door behind him.
So we've got this key right here,
so I'm going to line up here and grab this.
Very nice.
Wow.
Yeah, I moved it backwards, I grabbed the key with my
butt so you hear it here, Doomguy's got good
booty and that's why I call that a booty grab
Yeah
He's got very grippy butt cheeks
and allows you to pick that up in reverse.
And it turns out,
you don't even really use
that red key at all on this level
so it's just going to stay like clenched
in there forever.
All I really did was
just reveal the different button
that lets you progress.
A blutton?
A button, yeah.
So in this room, Zelu jumped across these gaps because there's
a bunch of imps in the way if you were to try to run around
the perimeter but in addition those imps in the way if you were to try to run around the perimeter. But,
in addition, those imps spawn
prevented the Hell Knights that
would otherwise be on that perimeter.
So it saves a bunch of time because the Hell Knights need
to die in order to
basically fulfill
the trigger that like lets you leave this level is it like scary running across these platforms
yes cause if you fall on the pit uh yeah okay you just kind of did
it so i was like was that easy? I don't know.
Do you all mind if I butt in for
a quick update here? Yes, go ahead.
I wanted to let everyone know we're about
$3200, just a little bit over
$3200 of the 7500
we're trying to raise
to get that glitch warp showcase unlocked
so y'all get those donos in
so that we can get
that weirdness shown because nothing says an N64 game like some
weird glitches. Yes,
thanks everyone who's been donating so far.
This level here is
even simpler, which I guess savvy
Doom players might recognize it as an homage to Dead Simple.
And it's sort of like a concentric multi-layered level... pretty much an arena!
Like every wave that spawns Zillow has to kill some certain number of them.
Not every single enemy here is linked to the trigger
to start the next wave.
So Zillow's going to be strategically leaving some enemies live
not only because he doesn't have to
shoot them but because uh by them existing there they might
spawn prevent some of the enemies in the next wave
so this is extremely dangerous because a bunch of pain animals all spawn and
they will keep shooting out Lost Souls.
And this is going to get very hairy if I don't finish soon
after this invincibility wears off.
Yeah, so the Pain Elementals
don't have to die to finish the level,
So it's kind of...
It takes so much time and or resources to kill one
of the pain elementals that it's sort of like too tempting you know you got to leave them alive
even though they shoot a lot of souls can i ask like a combat related question sure real quick
have i had both of our either of y'all played like the modern game games
yes would you say there are like what are what are are there any parallels between because
those are all the ones i've played are there any parallels between like combat
in this game and combat and the modern dooms at all?
Kind of.
Yeah, I mean there is a sense that for example
you know Lost Souls kind of
frivolous to use a rocket on single one
or chain gun is better against them but but there's not kind of like set...
Yeah so here there's going to be
a whole bunch of pinkies that spawn and in the easy mode, Be Gentle
There's only 1 single pinky that spawns in this next room
as opposed to all of
this. And it just so happens to be
in Be Gentle, I think
it's pretty easy to accidentally spawn prevent
that one single pinky which soft soft locks this rune.
So we were explaining before about kind of like spawn prevention
maybe even a reverse telefrag where you're not really killing them, they don't actually
contribute to the kill tally at the end of the level,
but that's the one example that I can
think of where you could accidentally
break a trigger
by spawn preventing the
one enemy that's associated with it. Now, I have had
that happen on Watch Your Step
in this difficulty so I'm hoping that doesn't happen
for a while.
Do you all
have a moment for a few donations?
Sure, please.
Alright I've got a $666 donation from Bob
Nice
Who says rip and tear until it is done!
Huh, I don't know what came over me. Goodness!
I've got a $25 donation from Omax who says,
So stoked to see the man himself Zello.
Unleashing Zel on Earth and another gdq keep up the awesome work
that's a randomness coming into play right there this is a very scary button
nice roll also was that lightning gun like the plasma a very scary button to push. Nice roll!
Also, was that lightning gun like the plasma rifle?
Yes, it is. That looks awesome!
It looks cool but it's pretty nerfed
compared to Dueling on Doom
Yeah, but it's still going to be used in the run.
Gotcha.
Pretty good favorable...
The specters that were in this room actually spawn prevented
I think it was two out of three Mancubus
that tried to spawn there so um yeah utilizing other other enemies for
yeah there he is
all right so we still have to get out of this area and There are a ton of mancubi, like my God.
Yeah.
Let's get outta here.
Here we go.
Nice one.
Yes.
There is the desert pack right at the beginning level.
Yeah.
Yeah. That was merciful is merciful okay this starting area here
is like a huge um i think you have to kill everything here is that right yeah
um so really really kind of of extensive death trigger here.
Yeah so we got the BFG in the last level and the BFG is like almost identical to other dooms
I think the only difference is that charges vary slightly slightly slower, but the kind of like tracer style
gameplay is the same.
So when you shoot the BFG there's a ball that flies out and then a bunch of Tracers fly
out in the direction Doomguy was was looking when he originally shot it.
And then where most of the damage comes from.
So what you want to do, then is like fire the BFG at something
that you want to kill and get as close to it as possible
so many of those tracers come in contact with it
uh so that's gonna really come into play multiple times throughout this run
uh the bfg is going to be sort of like the highest
uh like burst damage that we're going to have
to clear out some of these areas
that, like, have a ton of enemies
or enemies that have a ton of health.
Is there any randomness with the BFG?
Yes. The damage from the tracers,
their accuracy of them and
everything in this game is so
random. There is something I want to call out here
is that this is a level where
the limitation is kind of
um
what's the word?
Like being circumvented by an illusion here.
So what you're noticing
is that we're going on a bridge
that's over where we just were
and normally a limitation
of the Doom engine
is you can't have
like floor-over-floor architecture, but what's happening
is around different corners and in stairwells and stuff,
there's invisible triggers that will instantly
and silently raise and lower the floor.
That's cool. To give you the illusion of having floor over floor architecture, even though
you're just walking on the same floor that you were just on. Wow. Okay this is a risky
strat right here but I need to save ammo so we're going into the secret cubbyhole right here.
And this is actually going to leash some barons in the final hallway towards the wall so I can sneak right past just like this!
Nice. Oh nice.
Clean. That was super clean.
Do you all mind if I cut in with a quick donation?
Yes, please.
Sure.
I've got a $19 and 97 dollar donation...
A $19 and 97 cents donation. That19.97
That's 1997 for those of you
who know your numbers.
Phantom T-Mac, who is right here in the room
on the back couch says
greetings from the back couch donating 1997
for the year one of my favorite and earliest
games came out. Doom 64
has been a regular revisit for me ever since
I was three or four years old, and I'm so excited
to get to see it absolutely destroyed here,
live and in person at SGDQ. Let's get that Glitch Warp Showcase incentive met!
And you are absolutely right, we gotta get those donations in to get that
incentive net y'all.
Thank you.
Yeah, I want to quickly say this game was made in 1997 quite a
few years after the original Doom
and the development was actually headed by
Midway for the original release, supervised by id Software.
And they did a fantastic job and also big shoutouts to Nightdive Studios who did this 2020 port.
It's a really good
part of the game
with a lot of
quality-of-life
features, and even
has an extra new
campaign that you
might have seen
back in SEDQ
2020.
I really,
really highly
recommend getting
this game after
you've donated some good money to
Dr. Stopwaters. And so forgive me, is this like a port of
a port or was Doom 64 its own thing? It's it's own thing.
Even though I think there were some miscommunications it was its own thing yeah
even though i think there were some misconceptions back in the day since there were some n64 games just kind of stapled 64 on the end of it right
right uh but no entirely unique and really great
yeah everything was built up from the ground up like new graphics tile sets
sounds it's a complete game that's on and very worthy of the doom name
so in this room we have to kill all the barons uh in order to reveal his button here
and that's gonna let us go up and get the yellow key.
This is one of the second... This is the second out of the three levels
that have kind of like a side path
that take you to a secret level,
and those levels,
that's where you're going to get
one of the Demon Keys.
Which will not only make the end level much faster
but also upgrade the Unmaker which is what we just picked up at the altar right there
and the unupgraded Unmaker is, I think very slightly higher than the Plasma Rifle in terms of DPS.
But due to how enemy health breakpoints work it's still going to be better to use the plasma rifle so...
The Unmaker doesn't really see much use in this run. break points work it's still going to be better to use the plasma rifle so
the on maker doesn't really see very much use in this run yeah if you see me
pull it out it's definitely a mistake in this time it's very good in the max
categories though yeah
so this is like a stretch of,
the next four levels,
three of those are extremely dangerous.
Anybody who's played this game casually knows the dart room coming up.
We're not going to get
the safety invincibility.
We're going to just be doing some dancing, and it's
going to look very wild.
Yeah, good luck on this room.
Would this be a good time for donations or do you need to focus?
This is a good time now.
Alright, you got it! I've got a $25 donation from Tim M who says Doomguy would save the animals. Kerblam!
Kerblam! Kerblam!
He did try and
save Daisy in Doom 1, like
we'll respect this. I've got a
$10 donation from InnerL lion who says not sure exactly what
i was expecting for this doom 64 run but lore about doom guy's booty was definitely
not on the list look the more you know that card is card is It's still there
You never pull it out
And then I've also got a $100 donation
From Virgo Red Wolf who says
Can't ever get enough Doom and that is
Absolutely true, we're still trying to reach
that incentive for the Glitch Warp Showcase, so get those donations in
and remember it's all going to Doctors Without Borders which
is an incredibly worthwhile cause.
You gotta help support them. So get those donations in, let's see some glitchy stuff.
This area is so dangerous to be doing on 37
health. It's really impressive the way I'll be doing
this, yeah. With no armor too. Yeah.
Shotgunners could easily kill me. the heat map up my eyes right now and
where i'm looking is red hot over the health number yeah 13. it was funny because they
actually knocked me away from the invincibility so I couldn't even get that much.
So, I know health is not in a good situation.
Hopefully we can get to this very important secret.
Hi!
Well, that's why we saved.
This guy likes to get in the way. What a jerk.
Please, get out of the way.
So this very important secret down here...
So this does three things.
This leashes a lot of the enemies away from
the exit this gives me a little bit of energy and
this gives me a mega sphere which is very
very useful despite taking a long time to get because i need a lot of health
for them yeah well you said leash is like are
the enemy still aggroed on
you when you're all the way over there yes so okay okay enemy movement is generally random
but they do try and move towards you if they cool. So they kind of follow you around.
One of the things
I feel like
I've really
quickly grown
a lot of respect for
and one thing
I've really observed
is Zelo's movement
is so intentional.
He's not just randomly moving back and forth
and trying to make enemies miss,
like everything he does it's super calculated.
Sure we'll go with that.
It's really
crisp and if you ever try to speedrun this
game the analogy that I always make
is it seems like Doomguy has
his iPod in with the old headphones plugged in,
and there's doorknobs everywhere.
It honestly feels like every single corner you will get stuck on something
and just stop dead in your tracks.
And Zelda makes it look super crisp and clean okay so this is actually
an intentional save and load this actually de-aggress the lost souls that spawn above
there because we need to get there for the exit and that actually stops them from
spawning more lost souls later
so it's a little less wild, which is
very important. But this begins
the hell gauntlet for this level where I need
to get past a bunch of stuff very quickly or i'm going
to get locked and die this level looks awesome but okay super cool
get past this hallway hopefully
we're going to have a very loud bfg sound effect in just a bit right here okay
oh that was pretty sick. There we go! Wow! Nice one!
It's pretty good health and armor coming in here as well. Any kind of mega-armor I can take out is
really good, because normal
armor reduces damage by one-third.
Mega Armor, including
what you get from the Megasphere, reduces by a
half, so getting some extra protection's
really nice here. Extremely useless trivia that blue door coming
into here uh those bars if you hit use multiple times it'll open up a little bit faster it's like
for some reason the only door that does that there's are actually a few other ones, but not relevant in this run.
Okay, okay.
Do you all mind if I cut in with a quick review?
Yes please go ahead.
So I've got $6.66 donation from anonymous, let's get that $6.66 Dono train going
We need to get this Glitch Warp showcase unlocked
so if we can get that $6.66 hype train going
we can get that six on 66 cent hype train going we can get that unlocked in no time so get those donations in
can i just say like you know we've been going for what 25 minutes now
it is constant oh yeah no downtime i mean i'm maybe i'm just used to running
modern games which usually have been more you know cut scenes whatever i mean he's just going there's
very little i can't believe it i mean we're like yeah the pace is visceral yeah the ending of that level
was also extra notorious because in watch me die only an egg uh an extra rocket turret spawns
in these start rooms so you can't try and hide you'll just get blown
to smithereens yeah it's kind of petty right like if all this stuff that's coming
to kill you they decide one more little turret there it's really annoying i'll see
it can we please hit this glitch warp showcase?
Like I have got to see more of those.
Yeah that's awesome.
Like under an hour is not going
to be enough Doom 64 for me right now.
Yeah it's short but it's absolutely worth it. So this is a lot of running around in this area, a lot of backtracking
hopefully a nightmare imp will open the door for me, nope so we're gonna have to hit
the switch manually here. There's two of them in the room and neither of y'all said, you're fired
Definitely a lot
of resources in this level. We should be able to get topped off here
Kind of like Merciful to get topped off here.
Kind of like Merciful, you know?
They give you this, like,
Soul Sphere and Mega Armor right next to each other.
There's a Lothal on my tail
while I'm eating the health potion.
It's still on my tail!
I should say, lustles are incredibly aggressive in 64 compared to BC Doom.
Yep, most enemies are
pretty similar maybe small differences in
their size or whatever but
Lost Souls they're really fast
really aggressive and the checks that
they use to determine whether or not they're going to attack happen way more often.
I do not like any of this!
You also don't like this?
There's no hit-scanners in here?
Oh, oh, I thought you had that! No hitscanners in here. Oh!
I thought you had that.
Let me go back to here, this is kind of far back.
That's fine.
But yeah, that's pretty much running Doom
in a nutshell, there's so much randomness and there's
so much improv and you'll never have a run be the same no
matter what yeah especially on this difficulty like i consider
this the hardest category that's not the lost levels watch me die
speed. It is brutal
I love that you took the hardest
category and you're like yeah, I'm going to submit this one
This is the one I'm gonna do
I actually going to do.
I actually want to give a quick shout out to the modding community for DM64
because somebody decided
to make an ultra nightmare mod
and make it even harder.
Oh, wow.
Do you all have time for an update on the hype train?
Yes please, Ab.
Alright we've got some people buying their $6.66
tickets for the hype train
We've got Cameron Soram who says getting my ticket on
the southbound train for that glitch walk showcase yeah that's the way to have like it i like it
i've got a donation from bugbeer buying the $6.66 set ticket to the hype train saying,
Doomguy saving the animals is canon!
We also have NovaRooster2655 donating for the hype train
$6.66 donation train for doom let's hit that let's showcase incentive
all aboard choo-choo so there's one really cool trick shot right here if we do the bfd
and we can let the tracers destroy all these enemies
in my room for lucky. Oh, nice!
Nice one, yeah. And if you're not
in the middle right here, you lower into a pit and
die because you can't fall.
Many console players where you can't save the game mid-game
have died to that trap.
Yeah, you're guaranteed stuck down there.
You're guaranteed to die. It's right at the end of this really long level
my heart weeps every time I watch a blind play through
and may end up falling down there.
It's terrible.
So the save loading or quicksave, quickloading, is that
exclusive to this? Yeah, you
couldn't do that in N64. You can only save between levels
What about other classic games?
Other classic games, they normally run on a
demo system for competitive speedrunning so
it has to be single segment.
Pretty cool! Yeah there's no compatible
demo system in this house. There is a demo system but there's no compatible demo system in this house.
There is a demo system but there's no way to actually record demos so we just go by RTA.
So this level is really dangerous so I'm going to open up a couple of secret areas for later which has some very useful equipment that we can get
so we're going to get this mega sphere so it can top off we're going to save the invulnerability
for a little bit later because we've got a very long arena coming up here.
Yeah.
There's a lot of enemies that spawn in here.
And similar to some other ones from the past,
you don't actually have to kill every single enemy here.
So Zillow has memorized the ones that actually need to die in order
to spawn on the next wave. And he's going to try and keep as many of these alive
as possible so they might spawn prevent some of the ones later on.
And that's what you meant when sometimes accidentally softlocked right?
Yep, one got blocked here so the other one should be
right over here at one of these two i can't tell which one because they moved in such a weird spot
okay this is the one then so we're gonna block one manky buy uh we're gonna to block one Mancubi.
We are going to kill a few of these enemies here,
and then go ahead and get that invulnerability
because the last wave is very scary
it has two Cyberdemons on Watch Me Die difficulty
Yeah, and
Cyberdemon rockets are pretty much
like your rockets. They do an
enormous amount of damage
and I think if you get hit by both of them
it's pretty likely that you will just get one shot at this point.
150-160 for your health and armor?
Yeah. So invulnerability is a very worthwhile detour to use against these guys.
There we go. The double-double, nice. detour to use against these guys.
There we go. The double-double, nice. Nice! Very nice, yeah
It's relatively reliable to kill them in two shots
but you have to get like right up in their face
Alright this is the longest level in the run right here.
Lot of backtracking involved.
Yeah super long level. Lotta kinda just
general straightforward combat at the beginning beginning i think if there are donations
i think this is a pretty good time for some fantastic i've got a 25 donation from dracona
that says doom, doom, doom, doom.
Doom.
There we go.
Still not enough doom so let's get back Glitch Warp Showcase.
Thank you Dracona and just as a reminder for everyone
donating towards the incentives is absolutely no additional
cost to you.
If you're making any kind of donation don't forget to click on the incentives down at
the bottom.
Add your money to that donation or add your your money to that incentive so you can help us unlock
this glitch warp showcase because it's going to be wild I promise.
I also have a $25 donation from iCanHearPudding who says shout out to Aubrey Hodges for one
of the top horror industrial soundtracks mmm
yeah big shout outs to the Midway staff like Aubrey Hodges did these sound
effects for the PlayStation version of the game
and also this amazing more ambient soundtrack.
So we're actually going to have a little bit
of an auto scroller, we are gonna wait right here
so normally pain elementals would come down
if you aggro them and then when a pain elemental leaves
another one takes its place but if we just kind of
wait right here,
we can start killing this one now.
No more will spawn. That scared me! And then we can also block a Hell Knight at the same time so there's a nice little bit of multitasking
here while we have some downtime. That mean we have some time for a few more donations yeah we can do
like a couple more all right crab we got another $50 donation from ZB who says
doom doom doom doom doom
we also have a ten dollar donation from john quilte who says good luck zello
thank you john the boost yeah john knows about what The Boost!
Yeah, John knows about my antics with Ernest Evans in THE BOOST.
Well you got to see the Unmaker You weren't supposed to but you did.
That's about as much as you'll see out of that.
So we're coming into the back library so we are actually two thirds of the way through the level
I'm going to still pick up a few extra supplies around here
Megasphere to cap off, there's nice cell pack tucked away
under here. Like cells
are very scarce in this point of the game so we want
top-off where we can.
So there is actually one interesting thing about this map.
We're going to hit a lost soul limit, so pain emeralds cannot
spawn lost souls if there are 18 or more already on the
map which is great because we didn't really talk about
changes to panel medals yet. But in 64 they spawn two lost souls instead of one
and if you try and block them with your body like you can in PC Doom, they explode
on your face for rocket damage and usually just kill you. Wow. Yeah
They're so dangerous in this version. So hitting that limit
is pretty beneficial in some parts.
Unfortunately, that's not going to be the case for the exit rooms.
You have to be very careful.
Are there any other strats of the game where you're manipulating enemy counts
to prevent spawns or does it usually end up in softlocks?
It depends on the category here and there which one you do.
You all I'm so sorry to cut in, I just have to give you this
big update we are now officially halfway there
to the glitch warp showcase we've got people buying their 666 cent tickets on
the hype train to hell let's take this high treatment all the
way to that glitch warp showcase.
Come on, y'all get those Donos in.
Chad I know you can do it.
We're also like really close to 300k by the way.
I mean we were knocking on the door
that was scary at the end three panel metals all in the same room they all
need to die or high explode
okay this is the spiral i think this is one of the coolest levels.
It's awesome.
Yeah, it is just like packed with action.
Tons of enemies flying in
and Zillow's going to try
to run past as many as possible
while picking up
as many rockets as possible.
Generally, you can kind of top off on 100 here
if you get like as many boxes as it can.
And there is armor that's somewhat accessible
if the platform lowers but not worth hanging out for.
Can I get the door through the wall?
Yes!
Door to the wall!
Saves about like a quarter second.
Let's go.
So there's a little weird property with the super shotgun,
because the spread on the vertical is actually bit random.
We hit a switch from way below where we're supposed to, which is nice!
That's like the only instance of this in this category.
How long has that strap unknown?
Pretty much since, like, the beginning, since he just started running.
I get it. That immediately struck me as something
that would be found accidentally super easily it was just always there yeah
yeah do you all mind if i cut in real quick sure we've got another update we're 60 of the way
there that's 4 500 out of7,500. We've only got
10 to 15 minutes left to unlock that Glitch Warp
showcase so buy your tickets
for that hype train. Someone's bought
six... has bought ten
tickets for the hype train, a $66.60
donation from Anonymous saying
10 tickets for the hell train please!
So get on
that train y'all!
So this is a little interesting because there actually was like
a planned secret as at some point, if you look
at the map data, like they were bunch of tag walls
that never ended up actually happening but it's kind of neat to think about
the developer's hidden stuff because there are some weird instances
where the game feels a little unfinished. Like some secrets that are very much
secrets and they're not tagged as secrets.
Yeah in addition, Dilu hopped on one of the railways here
And ended up jumping around one of the bars that's supposed to be keeping you out.
Little bit of a sequence break there.
So, armor is not in a good spot but it's okay we'll get a soul sphere here
We can just grab this one
on the way out and just leave. Bye-bye
all night for Baron. I think
he wanted a high five, but I had to leave him hanging.
This guy though, he wants the high five.
Nice stuke.
And we have
to be careful
not to softlock
down the well
with a line def skip.
This is one of those
bad line def skips
that you don't want.
Yeah, just dropping
down isn't what
causes level to end.
It's like right
before you drop
down there's a
line def in that opening.
So if you just run really quickly, you'll just
stand there forever.
I have lost an embarrassing number of runs both on original
console and on this version doing that.
I just want to give a quick update here.
We've got a $666 donation
from Jesse Lockhart.
Glitch and tear!
Glitch and tear! GLITCH AND TEAR!!!
Loving this Doom 64.
Let's get that glitch showcase incentive, MetChat.
Let's go!
This lighting I'm seeing here... is this something new for Doom 64?
It just looks so different from other classic Dooms to me.
Yeah, the colored lighting is a very Doom 64 specific thing and it's fantastic!
I can't think of another FPS in this era that really uses colored lighting the way Doom does.
The palettes just get changed depending on what kind you're rooming, it gives it a good graphical style.
It really is a lot for variety and honestly, honestly modernizing the way it looks.
Really impressive.
Yeah, yeah they just age really well.
Okay so this is going to be a little weird we're actually just going to weaken these Barons instead of killing them outright
So we have to come back later
And we want a bunch of weaker Barons that we can tear through with the bfg
because if a bunch of fresh barons get to us later they'll probably just tear us apart where's
the other baron what i don't know where the other one went. It somehow got spawn prevented?
I'm very confused now.
Or is it going to show up at the worst possible time?
Probably.
So we're gonna grab this Soul Sphere here, thankfully this Invuln keeps us pretty safe, as long
as I don't get too blocked or fall off.
So one last key to grab and then we gotta go back to the starting room
and then back to the hallway. And hopefully we'll be able
to play Pitfalls Lotto and win like we already had Wiley Casino during earlier
in the marathon let's see if we can win the lottery here.
Yeah, all those Barons from before
All The Ones That He Weekend are just kind of like
clumped up in those hallways and
hopefully they're not going to get in his way
And if so, one or two shots will kill them all out
This jump is also really hard
you're not supposed to make that okay there we go yes nice there you go nice clean exit
quick update for you all, we're over $5,000 oh we are at over five thousand dollars of that 7500 we're trying to raise with thanks
the donations like this $66.60 donation
from CathodeRayDude
who says, I put the decimal point in
wrong place and can't fix it but
still for Doom
Well I do want say that we have four levels left.
So you don't have much time if you want to see that and
I know it's short but it is worth it.
But we're going to do a little bit of what did you call it?
Peaches ring around the Rosie right here.
Yeah.
So normally there's like a secret panel off
to the side that lets you raise these protective barriers
to not get shot by the darts.
But Zelu is so sick. That was so sick!
Yeah, that was awesome.
Zelu implemented this trick where you just kind of like
spin in circles and nothing can hit you
It's so good. And it's nice too
because not only do you have to It's so good. And it's nice too because... Dodging and weaving between the arrows?
Yeah, that's cool.
Not only do you have to...
You don't have to activate the switch but if you activate
the switch it actually takes longer for the script
to finish so you save time that way too which is really nice.
The tricks that look super cool and also save time are like so rare in
speedering if you like sometimes those are the best ones yeah I get the hell
nights are out of the hallway what are you doing there
Tecca really wanted to play
oh yeah i guess something we really uh didn't really talk too much about was like infighting
in fighting really doesn't like have too much of a a impact in this run.
In funny you mean AI versus
AI? Yeah!
And enemies of different species
so to speak can deal damage to each other
but honestly most of the time
whenever there's an enemy that we have to kill
we're just going to run straight to it and kill it.
So infighting doesn't even really
have too much of a part in this round.
I was just thinking about that
when I saw the cat, you know...
fly out there in that hallway. Whoa! Skybox!
Very GeoCities.
This is so GeoCities core.
Look at that.
It's so cool.
That was so cool.
The architecture in this game is so great.
All right, we've got a lot of stuff to kill right here.
So all six Anarchotrons need to die,
All six Spectres need to die
And then all four Barons need to die
But this is thankfully one of the more chilled levels in the run
We just need to exit with a lot of health
because the next level is extremely dangerous.
Yeah, it's so funny looking at this trigger
compared to Be Gentle.
I was doing a lot of Be Gentle running
just to prepare and learn the movement and stuff.
There's two Spectres and one Baron or whatever,
right? It's such a huge difference
in enemy count.
We've got a few updates
on that hype train still going. I've got a few updates on that hype train still going.
I've got a $66, 60 cent donation from Jahalio who says doom,
doom, doom, doom, doom!
Ten tickets for the hype train, let's go!
There's about a thousand out at this point. We're close.
Alright nice big celebrate flow right here
This is like one of the few secrets that's really worth it
It's like 280 cells cells that'll keep us for
endgame.
And just,
from my own knowledge,
when y'all talk about
doing a jump...
Sorry, this is kind of
a callback.
There's no actual
jump input in this game,
right?
Right.
More than just talking about going from crossing over a gap. Yeah. There's no actual jump input in this game, right? Right.
It's more just talking about like going from
crossing over a gap.
Yeah.
You just throw yourself off the edge.
Right, right.
Hope you make it.
So in this room there is a whole bunch of pinkies that get kind of like I guess airlifted in.
You literally just see them dropping from the sky and then later on there are barons that spawn
So Zillow is going to try to
manipulate them to block as many barons as possible.
Seems like a pretty clean room.
Now we have the most important line def skip
coming up in the entire run, so getting the yellow key
early is critical
because if we do this key the normal So getting the yellow key early is critical,
because if we do this key the normal way
The castle locks and we have to kill a bunch of Cacodemons
This is the most important line-deaf skip for this category
We're going to clear out all these
enemies first, you can see the key right there
We're going to line up in the corner opposite
I'm going to look at a specific spot that should be okay
No, I'm actually caught on the wall
There's...there's the doorknob yep there we go perfect first try nice
yup yeah what normally happens is it'll
teleport away and kind of you know bounce back and forth between those
different hallway ends uh and after the third one, then yeah, the castle locks and
you have to kill a whole bunch of stuff to get through. So by
grabbing it early, it's kind of interesting like that the yellow
key is going to respawn there later. They all have collision, you can collect them
but you're not really supposed to.
Sounds like a puzzle that's going on here?
What happens is there's
these different switches that are
blocked off the first time you see them.
And, you can see here it was only visible for like a second
There's like a placard to the left of that gate
and essentially tells you the combination
that you need to hit those buttons in order, in order to
reveal the switch.
And so there's like, for
three buttons, there's six different combinations.
Three of them are correct
and will open a gate. Three of them are wrong, and you'll get
locked in that room until you kill a bunch of stuff that spawns.
No scope!
Got a huge update
for all of you. We're getting less $900, no we are just over $800 away from getting that Glitch Warp Showcase unlocked.
Oh sure, you can do it!
We are so close. Big thanks to the $666.64 donation for Doom 64, of course,
from Jasper who says I want to see that Glitch Warp showcase!
Let's go!
Yeah you have literally about two and a half minutes to do
This is gonna be my end Yeah, you have literally about two and a half minutes to do.
We are knocking on the door! Oh my gosh...
We can absolutely do it, it is so close. Okay, we do need to trigger part of the yellow key script
To make the stairs at the exit show up
So we're going
to deal with this all night. We're gonna stare them down,
stare that Baron down and now we can just politely leave you the last
barriers right here. So this is generally considered the most
difficult level in the game,
in the main campaign. No Escape has three Cyber Demons and we don't
have an invincibility this time to cheese them out. Okay.
We're going to apply some good old PC doom strats.
We are going to try and bait rockets from them,
do a little bit of dancing
And hopefully these imps aren't going too far in the way
This is bad
That shows you what can happen yeah i was at what 150 130 and i died that
was a max damage gnarly yeah brutal rocket there's three of them, by the way.
Yeah.
So let's clear out a couple more just so I can get some movement here.
We're going to try and do a little bit of dancing, wait for him to aggro,
then we're gonna get one in
all right that's nice so the other two are extra scary because they're locked in a cage together if they come out at the same time this gets really dicey
yeah when there's just one you can kind of manage it because when when he shoots one rocket
he's always going to fire kind of a salvo of three in order like that. Oh, the imp blocked me. Oh!
But when there's two of them it suddenly
becomes a lot harder to kind of manage their cello.
OK, two.
Nice.
Why am I doing this to the imps?
These imps!
So that brings us to the very last level coming up,
this is The Absolution.
This is one giant arena fight.
You want to talk about how these enemies actually come in
because it's pretty funny?
Yeah sure so like way off in the distance there's this warehouse full of
enemies and when you walk
in here they kind of wake up and start
walking towards their teleport line def
and they start warping in
and they do it very politely
They're so polite that if there's an enemy
that's standing in one of these gates,
the next enemy won't teleport.
So what Zella is going to try to do
is sort of lure them out
and destroy them as quickly
as possible so that
there's room for the
next one to teleport in.
There are so many
lost souls.
Yeah, you can see
these little like I
don't know squares
next to these gates
that's where you would
normally enter a demon key
and if you find the demon
key and you press and you use one of these boxes
off in the distance what's
going to happen is the ceiling, 1 third
of the ceiling will just kind of smush
about one third of the enemies, so
it's like a really fun
behind-the-scenes way to have this
cool intense final level.
So normally it's like, oh I'm closing the demon gate and
It's all cool and badass but you're really just squishing a third of the enemies
I do not like my health. Are we worried about health right now?
Now we are! I'm worried about health right now? I'm worried about health right now.
Yeah, it's going to be bad if a
loss interrupts one of my rockets so
hopefully not have an accident here
There are just a few enemies left thankfully
In order to spawn the last boss we have to kill everything
that starts in the level but the lost souls actually don't count
that cheer means we hit that incentive for the Glitch Warp Showcase.
So, we're going to get to see all those fun glitches.
Congratulations, chat! You did it!
Yeah, with like seconds left.
Yes because we just killed the mother demon. Bye-bye,
Mother Demon! But since it's a Doom run everything needs to die so I'm gonna
die too cause you've already watched me die for like 55 minutes
So this is coming up on time. Time!
Oh!
Chat really got that met at the yeah.
That was a buzzer beater.
That was awesome buzzer beater incentive.
So I see a 49 15 anything sub fifties pretty good for marathon.
That was such a fun run
I mean like
it's almost 2am, it's past 2am
It's almost 3am
I am wired
This very chill Doom 64 This very chill Doom 64 run.
This very chill, comfy Doom 64
run as HockeyBattler said.
Anyways since you all met it
we're going to do the Glitch
Warp Showcase after we get past
the ending right here where
we just remain in hell forever.
Yahoo! Wahoo! Comfy!
Doomruns! We're trapped
in hell forever.
So this is gonna be a little bit of
surprise for most people so, we're going to be a little bit of a surprise for most people.
We're gonna go load up this save file that plays one of the secret levels,
this is The Lair.
So this level has something very interesting out of bounds.
And we're going to get out of bounds using some very
interesting methods here, so we're gonna
get onto this platform, we're gonna backwalk
here, and you need to get to a part
of the map that doesn't have collision so we're just going
to carefully balance here uh where are they at such a wild with fov right now as well oh yeah
i actually play it in non-standard FOV so it looks a little weird
sometimes. So I'm just going to let these lost souls die here
make sure they're nice and dead because this is pretty much a pixel perfect
setup here.
One more.
Okay, so we need to just go forward very slightly.
Chain gun to line up against
this.
Hopefully that's right. Nope nope we'll reset that real quick
surprise chainsaw yep surprise Okay, that might work.
If my mouse will stop moving on its own...
Might be a little...
I love the ominous thunder here too.
There we go, nice.
Okay so we're behind the castle here you gotta appreciate
the brick texture and the nice pretty mountains right
here and i really do appreciate this. But I might want
something different so if i just say the magic words Hocus Pocus John Romero
loves The Bruiser Brothers... Hey look! I made a change!
So, the scripts in this level change.
So the scripts in this level,
there is an out of bounds
trigger as well that's tied to
these scripts and you might
notice on the screen right here I I don't have a next level location
despite this normally going to Dark Citadel.
Well...
This would normally send me
to the ending in the console version of
the game because
the ID for the script ties to a map that doesn't exist, which is
same as the end of the game. In the 2020 remaster
I think it does something a little bit funnier we broke hell so hard
it kicks us back to the main menu but that is Doom 64.
I'm happy to be y'all's slayer today.
Did you all have any final shout-outs before we finish up?
Shout-outs to my friends and family who are staying up watching,
shout-outs to John, Bianca, Rami.
Shout-outs to the Peacord,
any of my viewers who are watching.
And yeah, thanks for having me on.
Shout-outs to the viewers
and shout
us to GDQ. I want to give a shout out
to you, Zello. It was kind of a last minute inclusion
for me to be here. This was awesome.
I have such an appreciation for what you do and this run was really cool
and thank you everybody for getting that donation
literally at the final
moment. That was super cool, that was awesome
so thank you to them. I want to give quick shoutouts
real quick
my little soapbox because the marathon actually I want to give quick shout outs real quick.
My little soapbox because the marathon actually started
at the end of Pride Month and I was born at the
end of Pride Month and
somebody who also celebrates Pride Month
with me, who made these lovely plushies
at Cacodemon and Panorama Mall.
I have to give a big shout out
to my loving wife Harukaze
on the back couch
for everything she does for me.
I love this. This is so cool.
So big shout-outs to her.
Pride never goes away, and trans rights are human rights.
So y'all enjoy the rest of the marathon.
We love y'all, and we'll see y'all enjoy the rest of marathon. We love you all and we'll see y'all later
Good job Zello
Absolutely incredible run thank you so much much, Zello, for all of that incredible doom
and such a comfy cozy game
as evidenced by this $5 donation
from Isabel the Dog who says
Sorry I couldn't join you on your adventure ripping and tearing, Doomguy.
I've just been busy with my duties on the island.
Once you're done, how about you come visit the island
and join me for some fishing or bug catching?
Bye-bye! fishing or bug catching.
Alright, and with that I'm just going to take this
to a quick...we're gonna take a quick break here but don't close
that tab we've got so much more coming up like our incredible runabout last two from shark had 87
coming up after this break.
While all that is running, I just wanted to read a few more donations off some interesting fun facts. There's a $50 donation from Adam W., who wanted to let the runners on the couch know...
or the runner of the couch know, the runner on the couch note fun fact sr40 means straight
right 40. an og doom recording a demo is just a recording of the player's inputs on each frame
because the engine is deterministic replaying the same movements always produces the same result.
SR40 is recording for a full normal speed straight right input.
Great to see Doom again at GDQ and all of the other great runs this week.
I already bought Bellatro looking forward to the rest of
the week and go zello
i also want to before we get too far away from this uh doom hype train
uh thank everybody who bought their six dollar and 66 cent ticket
for the uh doom hype train to hell we had people donating from all over
the world including a6.66 donation

Thank you so much
for that.
That's an incredible sentiment
and with that I'm being told that we've got the outlast 2
run from shark hat 87 ready to roll so show us how it's done sharkat let's go.
All right, hello everybody and welcome. I'm Sharkay87
And this is going to be Outlast 2
I'm excited to show this game off,
I got to show off Outlast 1 a couple years ago
and now we're coming back with the sequel
We've got plenty to explain
if you both want to introduce yourselves
before we get started here?
Yeah, I'm mr kyle 95.
i'm nerd i did the popular run earlier and i'm a washed up at last figure on yourself
all right so um i'm assuming the can i get confirmation on the on the bid war I'm assuming the, can I get confirmation on the bid war?
I'm assuming it's French.
Wanted to double check. I'm pretty sure it is.
Yeah, I think it was French.
Thank you so much for checking in.
Yes, French did win with a final amount of $122.50.
Thank you for that. Okay, great!
Alright, well we'll go ahead and just jump into the run
then. We start on actually the
second subchapter of the game. We skip
the intro essentially. So time is going to start
after this loading screen is done.
So I'll go ahead and get that started right here.
So three, two, one, go!
All right.
So we've got a lot to explain with this category.
It's pretty heavily modded category.
We have a lot of different subcategories and things for
this game.
Essentially no checkpoint killing means that well
checkpoint killing first of all
is in Vanilla Any% if you skip a single checkpoint in the game
you die. So it makes skipping things a lot more difficult obviously
so part of the mod is that we disable
that and so instead of killing you it
just saves the game normally
and you can progress.
We'll get into more
of the category specific things in
a second,
so at the beginning
of this chapter The Crash
we're going to drop down here.
And we're going to attempt to skip climbing down
the majority of this cliff by doing a crawl right there.
Very nice. All right, we're not dead.
So this game does have fall damage.
If you fall too far, you will die and we can do certain things like that to negate the fall damage
We also toggle FPS quite a bit in this game so as you see right here
We'll toggle about 8FPS so I can cancel a lot of the Heartland animations and things like that.
But the idea is we're going to be jumping around between high and low FPS here and there
because this game has a lot of very specific clips that only work on specific FPS values.
So we talked about checkpoint killing a little bit, and the other part is the cutscene skip mods.
That's a bit newer, and all of these... Here, we're going to redo
this real quick. Part of the mod is
no stamina as well. You have to hit
a button for that. It doesn't always
register right away. So
we're going to do that as well there. We got that and part of the reason for
That is with this particular category,
We spend a lot of time out-of-bounds
And usually in vanilla
We would reload checkpoints
To get stamina back
But because there are no
Check points just
Out-of-bounds all over the place it would result in us kind of walking everywhere.
So most people who do no checkpoint killing do no stamina.
Right here we're going to do something called a crouch crawl clip which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like
you just crouch and crawl alternate
go right through the wall. I'm going to run past this dude
right here.
We're normally scared of you from out-of-bounds
So this is the first major skip in the game. This is the lens
skip And we are to be bypassing
a pretty major part of the level here.
A lot of this stuff is solid generally when you go out of bounds
so we can kind of just walk
through the mountains here. There's a lot
of mountain climbing in this run. Yes
and actually we're coming up to
in a little bit here the first big cutscene
skip so like I was saying that's a bit
of a newer feature in this run
all of the mod stuff is done actually
pretty much all through just editing a config file, it's all Unreal Engine
console commands and things like that so big shoutouts to the Outlast
speedrunning community and the modding community for helping us get some of these cool categories,
some other fun ways to play the game.
So normally we're supposed to walk through about a 5 minute cutscene here, autoscroller.
But by going out of bounds we can skip that.
Generally when you skip any checkpoints in the game
it will stop loading things in which includes cutscenes
which is this case very good for us
because we could just run right past.
And so basically
one more thing about checkpoint killing
I wanted to mention is
that basically there's minor and major
checkpoints, so as soon as you skip
a checkpoint all of the minor ones disappear they won won't load in and the next time you hit a major checkpoint
You just die. You fall over on the ground almost like you had a heart attack
Uh so right here uh you would normally die but instead on the bottom left you can see it says saving
Uh, so that's the mod in action there. Let's just do a lot
A lot of really really big skips here
One small time set here normally get blasted back
By this enemy here, but you can hide in the corner on the side and
avoid that.
And Nerd, if you want to talk about Ethan
here a little bit more, we're actually going to skip Ethan, but he is
a pretty cool character. We're not not gonna see him because of the cutscene
mod here so once I fall into this
cut scene
we're gonna reload
It's supposed to be like really long chase and then you do a clip right after it.
But don't have to do that with the cutscene skip!
So normally I'd have to wait around here for a really long time in the basement.
It's not quite a cutscene in the sense that you have control
of your character but you have to wait around for a few minutes there
so we're gonna progress right here and uh do another little shortcut here
um there's actually a lot of tricks in regular any percent that lead over to
this you think with uh you're not being able to skip into the
checkpoints that uh any person would be glitchless but uh there's actually a lot
of tricks so you can kind of wiggle uh through the fence just like that and now now we're gonna head over to this field over here.
There's kind of a funny thing, so if you ever run 100% in
this game there is recording.
You pull up your camera and record certain events.
There's one here that you can actually only get You pull up the camera, you record certain events.
There's one here that you can actually only get if you don't reload
the checkpoint here. If you reload the checkpoint and you're just locked
100%, it kind of sucks. So we'll see that
here. I'm going to do another crouch crawl clip through this fence and we'll see one of the main villains, Marta, kind of just walking here.
You're not supposed to be able to get this close to her. She's supposed to watch you through the fence there but there she is.
And here we are gonna do a trick called a beast hop,
you wanna talk about that a little bit Kyle?
Yeah so normally you're supposed to grab onto this crate
and slide it but if you maneuver in the right way
you can grab the crate while standing right next to it like he just
did. And if you can force
any piece of your hitbox
through a wall, it basically just disables
the collision unless you just walk right through
which is what he did.
Yeah, and we're going to see that a lot later with a lot of speedruns
we kind of joke about walls are
kind of a suggestion but that is
the case in this game sometimes
with the collision being a lot more complex than
the original Outlast. You can do a lot of stuff like that. Oh, Nerd
you want to talk about a trick we just did there? We're going to do another one later so I'll make sure to point
that out but... Yeah, so he did a ledge run. Of course you can lean in this game like the original Outlast and when
normally when you go on a ledge there's an animation where you shimmy on it
But if you run while looking behind you,
you don't do that animation.
Yeah so it makes the character move a lot faster
and all you have to do is just look behind you.
We'll see at least one more of those later
the vanilla any% run has a lot more
especially going around sort of
curved paths which makes it a lot
more difficult there
We've got one more jump to make here before we get to our next checkpoint.
It's kind of a long section where we don't get any safety checkpoints here.
So basically, like I said there is lethal fall damage in this game but
There are certain ways you can it so like right here nice okay
we didn't die very nice uh the animation there takes precedent over uh the lethal fall damage
uh we're gonna do another slide here uh like i, we have some low FPS strats here so if we drop the
FPS while sliding like that,
we are able to clip into that wall just like that and it will
skip a decent chunk of the level right here.
We're gonna jump back in pounds just like that yeah that's
not the game lagging that's an intentional fps drop so coming up here we have elevator skip
there's actually two tricks called elevator skip no distinction, I don't think we have any
difference in the naming there but they both skip elevators so
you know, there ya go. Here's our first example of these kind of jump clips we're gonna do
where we're going to try to force a little bit
of our character get clipped into the wall.
These particular kinds of clips are a little bit random.
So if it doesn't work there is a method to manipulate this.
So you have a value called your
offset position which affects how
close you can get the walls and certain animations
like that one will affect it so these
kind of clips if you don't... yeah exactly
So it seems silly, it seems kind of like placebo,
there's no way that actually works but yeah so if a lot
of those cliffs don't work you can get them certain animation
like that and usually makes it a lot easier.
Here we're dropping the FPS a little bit to delay the
load of the level there's certain collision that loads in and blocks you
and so we want to delay that a little bit uh to make
that a bit more consistent so doesn't load too too fast and uh here we have marta this is actually another any
percent skip right here as well uh so martha shows up and uh i bet a lot of casual players
struggle with this part you're supposed to get the cart all
the way here and jump over um and try to avoid her but if we set this up correctly
we can crouch and clip a little bit straight through
the fence and we can skip that section so not having to push the cart there.
Yeah let's go Shark Hat!
All right, so we're gonna skip another cutscene here so uh this would be a great time to read a couple donations if you got some absolutely i've got a 100 donation from cup of chai
who says sgdq is my favorite time of year and i'm so sad i won't
be able to watch much of it live this week but i wanted to make sure i checked in to support msf
an organization i respect so much even more now for their work in Gaza.
The conflict has been on my mind daily over the past nine months
and MSF has been one of the few bright lights during this time.
Thank you to all the medical professionals on the ground.
Love to all the runners and the crew for this amazing week.
Trans rights!
And even though it's now July, every month is Pride Month.
All right, we got time for one or two more here?
Absolutely! Following along that one, I've got a $10 donation from Smush which seems to go together with this one
It says on the topic of trans rights, which are human rights and should be treated as
such Americans have you registered to vote make sure make sure at vote gov
every voice counts all right thank you so right here we're going to be picking up a bandage
so this is actually a little bit of a backup strap
We added in a different version of a skip here sort of in the practice room.
So if we decide to go for this,
the other version I will need that bandage
but don't worry about that when we get there
so you move through corn here
usually it gets slowed down quite a bit
At lower FPS you move quite a bit faster here
So we're just doing this to dodge the enemies here
And then we're going to reload to despawn them, and this trick is called mill skip here.
So like we said walls are a bit of suggestion. There's many different ways to get clipped into walls in this game
A lot of these clips are very unique.
In this case, we're going to crouch with a specific facing angle
and that'll let us clip a little bit into this fence.
And now this trick is called Dumb Skip
affectionately
because it is just very finicky.
It's one of those things where if it doesn't work immediately
it kind of gives you a hard time.
It's like any of these clips where we're jumping
and it's going to be random but we're gonna try to jump and side hop and it's just that easy there we go
it's that easy every time every time it works except when it doesn't
um all right so uh do you guys want to explain this level coming up?
Because this is the hardest trick in the run right here
It's actually two tricks back-to-back
Yeah I can take it.
So he's gonna do two of those jump clips like what we just did
and the latest checkpoint he gets
is right in this room, so if he messes up either of them,
right back here. And this
particular one, the one he just did, is one of the most
inconsistent ones in the run.
You can sit there for minutes
sometimes and not be able to make it through that wall.
Though, it looks like it's going to work this time.
Almost! Okay. So the first one is
random. It just, I mean...
Yeah you just have to do it until you get it pretty much
Uh the second one is just really precise
And uh
Like we mentioned
Because we skipped a checkpoint We you don't get the checkpoints here.
And that means if you want to retry this
you have to do both.
It still saves a good chunk of time.
We just got to get kind of precise setup here
and we get it every time. That's it. Let's go, okay.
Okay.
So fun fact about this, you're supposed to use this
to climb into the vent. You don't actually have
to do that as long as you pull it close enough, it lets you
ledge grab this, which is a little bit silly.
And right here I'm doing something called a lag boost.
So if actually Kyle,
do you want explain lag boost real quick?
Oh yeah so if the game FPS
is lower than the FPS cap, and you try
to crawl.
You'll just lag like that and scoot across the ground
instead of doing the normal crawl animation
which is really, really slow.
To do that he sets the FPS cap to 1000
which is way beyond what a computer can do and then
slides across the ground like that. Alright so this is bridge skip
we're going to try to grab a stump to cancel our fall here
okay okay well it's also called stump jump yeah so um you're supposed to
you know watch a cut scene and fall all the way down here, but there's a few
ways to do this without
that. And we're going for these
slightly flashier version here.
There
we go.
So if you interact There we go.
So if you interact with those stumps, you can hide normally.
Obviously we don't need to do that
because we can kind of just blast past
all the enemies in the game here.
But if you
interact with that, it cancels the fall damage
kind of like jumping into the sliding animation
The animation of entering the stump completely
cancels the fall
You can do a slide and land on that tree instead, but it's
I believe it's a little bit slower. It definitely doesn't look as cool
as that one there. After we crawl through this tree here
We're going to do another crouch crawl clip
through a rock this time, and we're going to try to skip
a good chunk here.
We actually just made it to the second chapter out of six.
I don't think we mentioned that so far. The first two chapters
are by far the longest and have some of the harder tricks in the run.
So we clip into this rock, and we're going to make our way out-of-bounds here.
Most of the stuff that looks solid is solid, and you can run on it.
We're just gonna make our way around, take a big shortcut here
and while we make our way to the next school level
here, we could probably get one or two donations in real quick.
Awesome, that's fantastic news i've got a hundred dollar donation from marcus
who doesn't have a comment but i just wanted to point out marcus and everyone
else putting their donations in we're trying to get an incentive going for
Maid of Scare, which is running after Outlast 2 here
to get the good ending in that game because currently it's set for the bad
ending. So if you want to make it a little bit harder
for Asuka 424, you want to make it a little bit more interesting
get your donations and make sure to click on the incentive and put your money
towards the incentive. It doesn't cost anything extra you're donating anyway,
might as well put it towards the incentive.
Man!
Alright, so you might notice
in some of these sections where we're going down
longer hallways, I'm turning kind of slow there.
So that actually, uh... We're not just taking bad lines there.
In this game when you get the full sprint speed if you turn too quickly
with a camera you lose that speed and you slow down pretty
significantly. So it's usually better to take those really slow wide turns like
that. Alright so we just skipped a cutscene. Our hands are injured now
and we're going to do a trick called bandage skip.
So naturally the first thing we're gonna do is grab a bandage here, but
what we're gonna do is skip putting it on. You cannot climb ledges
when you're in this state. But fortunately,
if we can clip through these two walls and get to a
checkpoint... And if we reload a checkpoint that's
past this part of the game then it'll
actually apply the bandages
to us without having to put them on.
Which is also good because we don't have our camera
here and we're going to skip
picking that up as well, and the game will give it back
to us. Wow! Okay so that skip
was a little random too. That was pretty lucky there, very nice.
Very good bandage skip there. So we'll just reload here and this is just a lot faster...
Well first of all it's a shortcut but it also skips the animation of putting on the bandages which is pretty long as well.
So that restores our ability to climb up ledges
which looks really good because we do need that in order
to beat the game.
We still don't have our camera here
which is what that text right there says.
If you try to use it and get that pop up there.
To skip another good chunk of the level we're going to do a trick called triple fence clip
Which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like
Just different methods of getting your character slightly flipped on the wall,
just enough to go through.
This one is quite literally rub against the wall until you go through.
There's really not much of a setup to it,
but this house on the right
of us is normally where you would get the camera
and that would teleport you to another one
of these school sections. I don't think we really
mentioned those, but in the game there's flashes of light
that cause everyone to have hallucinations and our character hallucinates this elementary school.
So that's what all of that is about there.
We're going to click through the third fence here and after we do that
we need to drop down pretty far here so we're going to do a side hop to hopefully cancel
most of the fall damage uh we will still get bleed damaged, we won't die.
Like that? Nice!
So uh...we didn't really mention either so far but with bleed damage
you move pretty slow
so usually we want to heal up with a bandage or reload from the checkpoint because that'll also restore you
back to full health which is what we're going to do here
all right so getting pretty close to the end of the second chapter here.
We just gotta grab an item that'll help us load in
the next cutscene, which will then take us to the next area,
which is this rope right here.
We're gonna see the main enemy of this chapter which I don't
think we've actually seen so far on Nick and Laird's and try to slide under
this arrow so it doesn't slow us down
and run over here.
One quick note, we are playing on story mode that's the difficulty
It doesn't affect the run too much but it does make some things a little bit faster
We do have category for insane difficulty as, but this is just a little bit quicker and
does damage to things like that
Here we're going to do another trick
the school roof skip so we are going to try
one of these jump clips through the fence Just like that and then we're going to try to do another one of these jump clips through the fence, just like that.
And then we're gonna try to jump and land out-of-bounds here.
Jump, land here.
And so that bandage you grab during a Bandage Skip
we're actually going to use right
here because this part is dependent on uh following a
character through the dark using audio cues and with bleed damage this takes forever
so i'm gonna take uh i'm gonna focus a little bit here because if you lose track over here, it takes way
longer than usual.
So we're gonna follow her and use the microphone function, make this a bit easier
and then as soon as Blake starts talking we're gonna start sprinting as well I'm just going to focus a little here to make sure
I get this
To what you want on my dear last Tuesday, she's a good year You who see my God, wash away all that I have done to you.
Help me become more and more every day
and thus live in your love.
Quickly!
And thus the light is extinguished. Savior, listen to my prayer. Vite! Et ainsi s'est éteinte la lumière.
Sauveur, écoute ma prière.
Je t'en prie Seigneur, veille sur moi.
Par ici Blake.
Nice okay we got it all right so uh
right there,
um,
she does move around a lot.
You kind of have to listen to how it pans
and things like that
to be able to follow it.
Um,
actually I haven't done
that part in French.
Uh,
all right.
It is the same, but yeah just different audio there.
Alright so we made it to chapter 3 this is The Lake
So any of you that have played this game would remember
the rafting section.
I am so sorry if there's any raft enjoyers,
we're not really gonna see the rafts in this category.
We are going to be skipping it pretty much entirely uh we need to get to the
next big major checkpoint which is where you
actually get back on the raft after you fall out
so uh to clip out of bounds initially we're gonna get on this wall and crouch
and we should go through just like that.
We do need to be...
I'm not super careful here, but if you stay in the
water too long there's a water monster that will
kill you, and
it's not usually a big deal. We just have to cross the river one more time
here, but
I would say if we could squeeze in maybe
a donation or two real quick while
I'm running over the river
here? Absolutely.
I've got a $50 donation from A-Man,
who says every year I love to watch GDQ.
Had to donate during
your great game like Outlast 2.
Thank you for everything you do
on a completely different tonal note I've got
a $10 donation from the shark hat on Shark has head that says
that sounds about right.
I also have a $5
donation from PsyMystery that says,
malls really are a suggestion in this game,
huh? Thank you Sim! really are a suggestion in this game huh
Thank You Sim. Shout out to Simistry, very prominent Outlast especially
Outlast 2 speedrunner
all right so we're coming up pretty close to the end of this out-of-bounds section.
So this does skip most of the raft.
The cutscene skip mod is also going to...
So the raft isn't really a cutscene
but when we added the Cutscene Skip Mod category
especially for the Any% version
because there's an Any% and Wishlist
uh, version of this mod
And for Any%, We just decided to take out
the raft as well because
it cuts out most of the...
The mod cuts out most of the downtime on the run as well
so unfortunately we will not get to
a raft here.
You'll see it for about a split second when we pick
it up right there, and there it goes.
All right, this part is pretty straightforward.
We're getting chased by some enemies, but we just take a straight line to the next cutscene trigger here which is going to warp us to the next section of the level.
Like that! of the level. Right there.
Alright, so now we're gonna be at another school section in a swimming pool
and there's a monster there
So you can actually exit this pool from any side it's just a little bit
faster to go uh straight left here um everything's fine everything's uh everything's totally fine
definitely not being chased don't worry about it
it's fun it's okay there's no alarm monsters here
all right so this uh this sub chapter here is called Raining Blood.
You see why in the... well actually you won't see why because we're gonna do a
little bit of like glitch here to skip a good chunk of the level.
Fair warning! The next level has a little bit of blood
literal uh raining blood we're gonna have the night vision up most of the time so you
don't really see it but just wanted to throw out a super quick content warning for that
just a little bit a little bit of blood there.
So this is Raining Blood Skip, just because that's the name of the level here.
When you open this door, you're supposed to get launched back down the hallway and loop alllll the way around
but if you stand right about here and hold
the button down,
and do it just right we can actually skip
right through the door.
Now this part's supposed to have sprinklers going
down so the floor is technically wet
here but it doesn't load in there
so you could get those super long slides like that
which you normally can't do in other parts of the game all right so we're coming up to chapter
four here now this might be the biggest skip in this category so
this level has a ton of
subchapters of all these different levels you're supposed to go
to and fortunately for us
the very last subchapter
is loaded so we're going to try
to go straight there right from the beginning.
This clip is also a little inconsistent.
It's one of those it works first-try it gives you a lot of trouble kind of things.
Again I mentioned the offset position.
It affects how close to meet the walls and the more jumps,
the more animations, the more time your playing in the game
that changes and can make some of these things a little bit more inconsistent.
It works first try every time? There we go!
Alright, so for low FPS action just to make sure the collision in that house is loading a
little bit too quickly there I think we could squeeze in one more donation here
as I'm running through these mountains here absolutely I've got a $10 donation
from the ad Incentive button. Hey! Down here! Click
and help us get the good ending in Made of Scare. Wow Button you have so much good information
for us thank you for that donation. Also, I want
to point out we do also have an
incentive open up now to upgrade to
100% difficulty or
100% completion rather for the Virtual Boy
Wario Land which is coming up later today.
So that incentive is also open so pick and choose what you want to put your money towards.
Alright thank you! And there we go,...we got to the end of the level there
Just doing some jumps to get stuck in some collisions so we can flip back and downs here
And for the end here, we do need to get into that elevator behind us but we have to kind of loop around
to avoid enemies here.
We do need a reloaded checkpoint as well
so you can fix
the way the level is loaded. It kinda breaks
when you go straight to the end here.
Fortunately for us, there is one coming up right about
here once we get down the stairs so we're going to reload from that
and then do another big trick.
Actually, so this is
the other elevator skip.
Same name.
This brick actually...
What were you saying?
I was just going
to say elevator skip too.
Nah, that's too many words.
Elevator skip to your electric Google though.
That's better. So this actually works at any percent
I believe this is the biggest skip in vanilla
This takes over a minute so we're gonna move
into this corner of the elevator right away and flip out
and then the level is going to unload once the elevator goes far enough down
so we're gonna stand on this spot right about here
and you'll see we're gonna start falling very fast.
You can see the elevator shaft here
and we're going to fall straight into a cut scene
which is gonna push us forwards
and into another checkpoint all the way at the bottom
just like that
And that puts us in chapter 5!
Alright so we're coming into the mines I want to preface a trick we're going to do, there's a character
we call Dave. That's not the characters actual name it's just one of these
heretic characters but there is a trick where we are going to dodge Dave
and hopefully he doesn't give us too much trouble.
I was actually able, with the help of an Outlast speedrunner
and modder Misha, so shoutouts to Misha helping me
get this mod set up, swapping the character models
The characters are usually naked And I figured that would not be great to show off
so I was able to get it swapped with a different character
With clothes, so that's great
So we'll see seeing a slightly different Dave
today here.
But just wanted to say again shoutouts to Misha for helping me get
that figured out.
And shoutouts again to the Outlast
modding community
as a whole, again.
We're going to enter our PowerPoint mode here
for a brief second so I apologize for that.
We're gonna go five FPS to dodge this enemy right here.
There we go.
All right, so we're coming up on the Dave Dodge here.
So normally the game wants you to after getting this checkpoint backtrack and hide from the enemies
And once they disappear come back to this spot
But if we do a precise jump slide
we can actually get past Dave here.
There we go.
Nice.
There we go.
Okay, and then reloading the checkpoint
despawns the enemies.
We're going to do another beast hop here
so again that's doing a side hop or back hop
while trying to grab something
and it displaces you just like that
and we're going to crawl under here.
Now this is a fun one.
We said walls were kind of suggestions.
This wall here actually is not solid,
so no special tricks or anything.
We just crawl straight out of bounds like that
and now we're gonna do a pretty uh tight jump here
to land on top of this mine shaft there we go nice okay that's that's the
hard part of the trick done.
Very good.
All right.
So now we're gonna crawl here in this little corner
and kinda just wiggle back and forth
until we clip
back in bounds, something like that.
There we go!
Alright so this is normally a pretty long section of the level
that would have to do with some other cutscenes. We've already skipped a checkpoint
so the cut scenes aren't going to load in and we can actually just go straight to the end of
the level. We're gonna do a bit of platforming.
We were talking about this early in practice, Kyle.
So there's some...is it stalagmites that we are jumping on or stalactites?
They're different! I did not know this until I ran the stand actually.
Yeah, stalagmites grow up from the
ground, I believe, and stalactites
come down from the ceiling. I could be
wrong about that but I think that's the way it goes.
There you go, we jump on some
stalagmites there. Okay! So now that
we're done with that, we're gonna do a little bit of
running here. I just wanna explain
a little more about how the checkpoint killing
mod and everything works because we didn't get to
really dig into that at the beginning of
the run. So basically, the game has a list of checkpoints that are all in order and
when you go to a checkpoint it looks to see if you have the checkpoint that's
right before that in the list so for for example, if you have Checkpoint 2
You go to bounds and you skip
them and you go straight to Checkpoint 5
it'll say oh you don't have Checkpoint 4
so it just kills you. So what we do is
we have a console command that sets your checkpoint to a value called
none.
When you have none checkpoints and get another checkpoint it just gives it to you.
It kind of bypasses that check there so you don't need to actually get them all in order.
So, that's really nice. We used to have to use a third party mod
that would run in the background and instead we were able
to find this version and it was a lot easier.
The only thing that sucks about
it is if you uh if you forget you have to do it manually so uh
that has happened to me in practice before
you do a really long section out of bounds uh
and then you just die.
And you gotta do it all over again.
So fortunately we have managed to avoid that
which is great.
So right now we're in the last chapter of the game
We're trying to meet up with Lynn
I don't think we explained any of the plot stuff so far, have we?
Not very much, no.
The plot doesn't really make that much sense if you just watch the speedrun.
Well basically there's two reporters
Blake and Lin we're playing as Blake
And I'll give a talk at
the game is trying to meet back up with Lin
that's what we are going to do right here um all right so
uh while they do that if you got anything else to read this would be a great time as well
absolutely um so i've got a 25 donation donation from Discgolfer123 who says,
These walls are suggestions at best. To Shark they're hardly a test and though this game was a fright, seeing its speed ran as tight
And I must say I am quite impressed.
Love the limerick! Please send me more poems
It brings me such joy to read your poems
Thank you Disc Disc is uh Disc is a great member of my chat.
Really really great guy.
Thank you so much, Disc.
You got time for a couple more here?
Awesome! I've got a $60 donation from Anani Moose who says let's get that good ending
from Made of Scare. Happy belated pride, trans rights, free Palestine and save the animals.
All right really quick uh note here just like a small little routing thing so martha shows up we haven't seen her in a while
uh she's trying to kill us so uh the fastest way to do this
is to go this way.
I believe that first exit you go through here, it'll fall down like that
so we want to cause that one on purpose
so we can go out the other way
and then we're just going to run up here and skip over to the cutscene.
If you have anything else, you can go ahead again.
For sure! We've got a $110 donation from Can't Do Any of These Runs, who says
but I really enjoy watching them.
Great event, great games, great cause
keep up the amazing work.
I also have a $50 donation from Iggy who says,
I'm glad for the existence of this event. It's heartwarming to see such an inclusive
community and I love hearing the runs explained.
Uh maybe you got one more?
Absolutely. I've got a $100 donation from Unlimited Warrior who didn't say anything, but I just wanted to throw that out there because that's a nice chunkynow. So we love those chunky Dillnows.
All right, great.
So one thing I wanted to mention about this area,
this level especially with the cutscene skip mod is so much better.
They really throw a lot of the cutscenes
right at the end of the game here,
so being able to jump past those
is really nice for the pacing.
Now unfortunately even with
the checkpoint killing mod we can't really skip any huge chunks of this part of the level.
Because every single checkpoint kind relies on the other in this area and you cannot trigger the final, the warp to the final area
without, you know,
the cutscene before that.
And the cutscene before that needs
it just keeps going like that.
But we're getting pretty close
to the end of the run here.
I would say we've got about 2 or 3 minutes left.
It's been pretty solid so far, The Inner Demon skip was the main thing I was worried about but that went pretty well
So we're on good pace here
One quick thing I want to mention is you are walking with Lynn here
If you go out of bounds and deload the level,
Lynn will also disappear and you get your normal
movement back. But again, unfortunately
you do also need Lynn
to trigger these cutscenes.
So we've glitched onto this level a lot,
it doesn't seem like
we're gonna make a huge break here.
So this cutscene skip is a little bit different.
This is the last checkpoint in the game,
you can see he's kind of just chilling there
until the cutscene breaks which is kinda funny.
So that one works as I talked about none checkpoint earlier
so if you set your checkpoint value to none
it also kind of breaks things too
and things don't load in quite correctly set your checkpoint value to none it also kind of breaks things too. Things
don't load in quite correctly so since this is the last
checkpoint in the game we can't load a checkpoint after
after just to skip that cutscene there, the last like monologue
So we just load in with our
checkpoint value being none and then things don't load quite
correctly so yeah we're actually
coming up on the end of the run in like 30 seconds
here. Once
we see Jessica and grab her hand, that's time.
Kind of a funny thing to happen with none checkpoint here as well is
again like I said things don't load properly so she's kind of just gonna clip through this door here. Don't question it, it's fine
Alright
There she is
And...time!
Alright, that is Outlast 2

We also have a $15 donation from Hello that says

We love the poetry donations. Keep them

that all of your donations are going to support Doctors Without Borders it's an
incredibly important cause alright so I hear that Asuka is ready to run made of scare
it's not
Silly Block yet and
I'm up here so
we're just going to run with that.
Did you think Resident Evil 3
didn't have enough RNG and even moreso
you don't have to care about it
because you have to watch somebody else deal with it?
If you said yes, I'm Oscar424 and this is made of scare.
We're going to have to start right away because the longer I let the game think
The more likely that the game is going to troll me!
You like that? I don't!
So...I'm gonna get through this cutscene as soon as I start time my wonderful couch can introduce themselves but time is going to be starting
pretty quickly and we are most likely going to be doing the bad ending which I'm cool with
But time is going to start in three two one go
Okay go. Like I said, we're just gonna
rapid fire this.
Yeah pretty much we are doing Walking Sim
the horror game so while I get to
Scare Hotel if my wonderful couch commentary
can introduce themselves.
Yeah, hey, I'm Akla the Blue.
I'm here to provide a little color commentary.
I'm a mouse.
I am here with my rat, sir Cheddar Rattington III.
351 in the morning and I love the color commentary comments!
I'm a simple single brain cell person the color commentary comments.
I am a simple single brain cell person and puns like that.
All right, so yeah also give them a round of applause
I believe this is first GQ for both of you?
Yep.
First time on stage.
It's fun, we only bite on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
Anyway, don't pretend it's Tuesday! So we are going to be
getting through Hanging Out in a Tumative...err, To Scare Hotel. This is a very audio-based
game and it's a very stealth horror based.
The problem with the speedrun we just say that's nice,
stealth exists, and we're not going to pay attention
as much as possible.
However, that means the rng in this run
it's a thing but also that's a good dog.
That's Calliope.
Puppy!
We'll actually see her twice.
The second time...
Please don't hate me.
She comes back the third time, swear don't be scared she'll give back no puppies were hung
in the making of this run probably for sure probably definitely for sure
but yeah this kind of gives the uh Probably, definitely for sure. I like to
consider this run
in three different segments. The first one
just kind of getting you used to the area
enjoying the ambience.
The awesome song which may or may not be a mythological creature
ignore that fact. I'm just enjoying it
The second part of the run is I get to see some enemies that I don't
get to kill, and I get a small little gold ball that kind of stuns them but doesn't
kill them. And that's when the run pretty much goes off the rails, and then we just YOLO it.
Then the third part is my pretty little shiny gold ball comes away...
...and the enemies don't.
And then it's fun.
We'll be fine, I swear. We won't be fine i swear it won't be fine
i'm sure it will be fine and we're doing the bad ending is that correct
we are likely yes doing the bad ending just to update you we
are doing the bad end. I want to thank
everyone who did donate towards getting the good
ending but we're going to get to see a
bad ending and you know what? Sometimes
the bad end is fun. Honestly
I'm kind of okay with that This is the third time this has gone on the...
No we're not gonna help him.
Um, this is the third time I've had this on the GDQ stage and
this is the first time I actually get to show off a bad ending, which we have very special
name for it. Oh yeah, the girl boss
ending. Yep, but we are doing the girl boss
ending. And the reason why I have
to close that pretty much right at the beginning
is the item I just picked up, these cylinder.
So the ending is determined by
the items you pick up throughout the game.
There's four sheets of music and there's four cylinders.
The cylinders are the bad ending,
the sheet music is the good ending and the game starts with just like kind of force feeding you
a cylinder or a sheet music that's the only one we pick up
it's the only thing I care about, because if the run doesn't start,
I don't know how else should I pick it up?
But anyway, you know,
it's a hotel,
and you have like workers
and some people.
Some people. Some people.
Maybe they've had a bad day
because it is the bad ending
I know that Bob from
finance wasn't too happy
that he didn't get help.
I wonder what's going to happen to him?
Okay, so he's having a really bad day
So we're just gonna...
Yeah, you know
He's good on fog
Yeah, he's fine
We'll be fine
This one's What's up? Juice Sleep it off, Bob. Yeah, he's fine. He'll be fine. Juice!
What's that?
Juice.
You got some juice.
We have basically the equivalent of a life potion
and that's going to bail me out
because right now we have taken 50% of health as damage,
which is just a requirement.
It's fine.
It kind of teaches you the...
Well, you can take damage
and you can die in this game.
That ringing is Elizabeth, our wonderful girlfriend who we are not really putting on read but um
we're just not answering her calls because we're
bad.
I mean, we are doing exactly what she's asking of us.
We are giving her these beautiful cylindrical objects
which he is going to do good things with.
Yeah.
And what's kind of fun is at this point i kind of look this and i wonder like there's
word in my head that rhymes with bump and ends with scare i can't really think of it
jump scare that's right oh there we go i forgot about that fact Lump?
Oh, there we go.
But this really shows you the breathing mechanic
There is...you have two defenses aka the little gold ball and then just holding your breath.
That's not really beneficial usually but it is what it is.
And that gate there we go. Excuse you? There we go. As a warning when I pitched this game and I ended with have the deaths
never happened before. Button ready.
I'm not kidding.
Every time I play this game,
yeah,
the only consistent
thing in this game
is at some point
I say that's
never happened before.
It happened in, can confirm.
Yeah I was
having two deaths in this game was very
very unheard of on my part but
we are
going to grab a little more health potion goodness
and we're gonna introduce the mechanic of flip the switch push the button
push another arbitrary button and open door
door we're going to be heading up to and open the door.
We're going to be heading up to the outdoor garden area,
at this point we are getting close
to the second phase where
we will have to start defending ourselves,
but we will also be stopping and doing a safety save.
We'll come back to safety saves in a little bit.
Yeah there aren't any...
But we will also be doing the bad ending puzzle
that you don't get to do a good ending.
That alert, that's just an enemy
that's alerted to my presence.
Get used to it, you'll be hearing a lot much to my chagrin.
Stealth is slower.
Stealth is slower?
It's safer and um...
Safety. Hi puppy! safer and um
Buffy! Hi, Buffy. It's Kalaya Pagan. She's a good
girl in pushing buttons on PS5
is a pain in the booty
Anyway, so that's my girlfriend's mother
and that is a person
That's Bob
And that's also Isaac
who's a bad guy
But while this cutscene is playing
Hosts
Do you have anything to uh talk about absolutely speaking of the
buffies i have a ten dollar donation from i want to pet the corgi that says
shout out to osuka's pups.
Good luck with the run!
For those here they've seen my two wild children
Galahad and Freya aka my co-hosts on Hotfix
Shoutout to GDQ Hotfix and all the Shoutcasters
everyone that takes part in those
definitely check it out, it's some great speedrun
content outside of the marathon
setting so, and if you have runs that are under an hour,
hit me up because I've got a place
for you on Express Lane.
Hashtag plugged.
But I'm sure Isaac doesn't hear us or anything. Oh, hmmm...
I think maybe we- oh!
You got your tetanus shot recently, right?
Oh... maybe?
I mean if this was CinemaSins they'd say he survives this.
Eh it looks fine.
Yeah!
Nothing bad has ever happened to someone with metal.
I mean, Wolverine has it at his bones?
If it's safe for Wolverine,
it's probably safe for us. That's how I live my life.
Alright. Not even a scratch. You're still at full health
It actually did not harm you.
True! Maybe I am Wolverine?
Maybe you are Wolverine. We learn something new every day.
Today I learned that Wolverine is bad as a game.
I think he would be.
Imagine you were playing a game and any time you get jump scared or anything
claws shoot out of your arms
destroy your hands and destroy your controller
It seems real difficult as a genre for Wolverine.
So this next
part, there are
two ways to do this. There's the fast strat
and the I don't want to embarrass myself strat
so we're going to do the I don't want to embarrass myself strats or do the item there's a self strat
the if you're going for PB that first button I push creates distraction
you just don't push that button one thing I love about holding your breath in this game is that your character has to put both their hands over their mouth.
Right? Like they can't just hold their breath. Nope, nope, we don't need that.
We need the visual aesthetic!
It works!
It works visually, yeah no I do love it
A little bit of fridge thoughts, yeah
But yea so for the distraction
there's two enemies in this area
and since we can't really do anything
other than kite them all over the place
We just...
Just for safety sake
we hit the button
And move on with our daily lives
and enter the bane of my existence.
This handle! Oh, that was pretty fast.
That was great. Nailed it.
So like I said before, hitting things
on a PS5 controller isn't easy.
And because I like doing things not the easy way, I'm playing this on a PS5.
Also shout out to this and that handle laughing me down.
What was the other...oh, what was it?
It was a game that just happened that is on PS5 as well.
We're holding down the fort for the two PS5 games this week.
But, anywho...
At this point we are going to start seeing enemies and eventually get our Phonic Modulator
And we're going into a cutscene so I'll do a quick summation of why this game is minutes away from going off the rails.
So, from the moment the game starts,
enemies have a spawn region which is about this.
And then they have a roaming region which is about this. And then they have a roaming region,
which is about this.
Then they have a chase me when they hear me
region, which is about this.
I don't know where they're going to spawn
within that region and I don't know where they're going to spawn within that region, and I don't know where they're going to roam
within the roaming region.
So,
I have a route,
and the game says it's cute,
and you have to pretty much improvise
based on where the enemies are.
Oh, yeah, that's Janice from HR.
There was probably some HIPest stuff going on.
Yeah, so...
I'm sure it's fine.
Yeah, it's fine. It'll be fine.
Bye Calliope!
Calliope is a good girl.
She kind of bails us out later on.
Good dog, best friend.
Agreed.
So yeah we are in the gardens and this
is when you'll start to see primarily our main enemy sources.
Now at this point I know there are three enemies in my immediate future but I don't know where
in their rough areas they're gonna be standing.
He's okay, I'm still going to take the safe way
and not just try...
Oh he's a little bit close then I thought,
Okay cool bye!
Please face away please face away that's fine.
If he's facing towards me it's a little bit harder to juke that one
this next guy can booty block me
okay that's fine uh worst case scenario i take a hit there and on easy you can take six hits before you die.
I'm sorry I didn't give you a treat, Calliope.
She's mad at me.
How could she do this?
I'm a horrible person and Chet knows that I love my dogs.
Pay no attention to the sounds you're about to hear
and don't look...
Yeah, don't pay attention to that.
She's fine.
I swear we're also not going to look to the left.
Oh, let's look at the moon.
Yeah, that's a great moon! That is a great moon!
It's a beautiful moon.
That's not calliope in a trap or anything. No!
What trap?
So this point we are doing
a bad ending puzzle, which is
exclusive to the Bad Ending. Come on! And there's a compass that
we're not looking yet. Actually spoilers, we're gonna look at it. It's right there. That's a compass.
Compass. And you just have to go where the
compass points it's east west east north surprisingly
i've run this more than once so it's saying oh it's just four directions it's saying...
Oh, it's just four directions.
It's easy to remember.
Remember, single brain cell, smooth brain person right here.
And it's not Thursday yet, so brain is confused.
Second cylinder...
And carry on with our daily lives.
What's that? It's, it's...it's a nightly life.
Yeah!
We're here in the...
It's nice, nice moonlit road.
Um...
Pleasant normal things happening at this ho-
Do we wanna talk about what's happening in this game at all?
Why? What's going on here? Why is there creepy music? Do we want to talk about what's happening in this game at all?
What's going on here, why is there creepy music.
Actually yeah sure if you know the general rough plot go for it otherwise I can try and
explain the plot and have a panic attack at the same time.
Alright, let's multi-task.
I'll try to explain what I remember of the
plot and then you can have a panic attack.
Go for it!
We are here at this hotel because our girlfriend, whose name I definitely remember...
Elizabeth?
Yeah. That's the name I remember. Shiny orb.
Anyways she wanted to get
our help figuring out what's
going on here and what's going on here
is that her family has maybe
done
some sketchy supernatural things to attract people
to their hotel and now are being sketchy and super natural.
You want to talk about the orb?
Yeah, I just got hit by it dude. That's untowardly.
So this oracle...I have one guy chasing me.
That guys gonna be fine?
Okay Isaac don't throw...
That's two hits! Oh there is two guys right there. Cool!
Alright let's go!
We are off to a great start.
Welcome to it officially going off the rails.
We're gonna take a slowly roundabout way,
but so the enemies are blind.
They find me by sound and I have this wonderful thing called a phonic
modulator that I'm going to trigger like that and they have an instant headache
That's great for like 20-30 seconds. And then they're like okay no this is fine
and they're gonna stand back up again um so yeah these enemies can just be
wandering where oh they're coming back oh goody and they're going to hear that noise.
Hi! Bye!
Don't come back again.
I swear. Thanks.
So yeah, that's my only... That and holding my breath is my only defense against the enemies.
And that's why this goes a little bit off the rails.
This is fine.
And the charges are limited so the two things I'm going to be paying attention to in my inventory
Are the health potions I have and the amount
of charges. Health potions are the more important thing just because I need them
to last a little bit longer than the charges because I eventually lose the ability to defend myself.
So, four health, two charges.
And this is when the run decides to...
Well, hey, we're at okay. So at this point I'm kind of just casually walking along.
I'm gonna let go of my breath
and then hope he's not right there.
Buddy!
Okay, we're just gonna YOLO it.
It's faster to just YOLO it but now I know I have an enemy following me and this is fine.
Sometimes he comes into this room with me. He came into this room,
he didn't come oh he did bye bye! Oh that's three all right let's go but I know he's back there
so i'm hoping hoping.
Nope, he's following me. Alright.
This is where the game likes to soft lock.
Bless! Alright, whoo!
So let me tell you about the two times I've run this for GDQ already.
This puzzle...it's a simple puzzle. It's a bar puzzle
And this is when the game just goes
Yeah you know um
We're just gonna put enemies exactly where you are not expecting them
and I've gotten body block almost softlocked
each time, so thankfully... ummm hi friend
We're gonna anger this guy. Hope he goes the long way around. He's probably not going to go
the long way around. Hopefully there is nobody random in this hallway. Okay, we are fine.
This is fine. This is so fine.
This is the easy part of the hotel, I don't know what you all are scared about!
Okay buddy.
Don't hit me, don't hit me!
Oh, I think that's fine.
Yeah we're good. So now we are at the difficult part.
Is it crest time?
It is crest time!
We are on the second floor which is um...
The next ten minutes or so. I uh
am regretting life choices in the form of picking this game up
because everything is just
going to be wildly
random. Him being here
is unfortunate. That means I can't take the fast route, so...
Grab that! Probably get-
Oh, didn't get hit. Nice.
Now this is what's gonna get interesting because if he follows me, which he is and
I hear him behind me, I'm gonna end up kind of...
Hello?
So, yeah.
What we're probably going to end up doing is doing a quick
safety save. I can't
pull that handle, which means he's right out there
So there are two ways I could do this
I can sit tight and just...
Yeah, I saw that hand.
Just sit tight and wait for him to disappear which
the fact
that he's going that way is a little
concerning actually oh friendo friend uh nope you turned
you stay over there. Sometimes he'll come into this room and it's like, oh well here we are.
So yeah that actually worked out in my favor which means something else is wildly horribly wrong and that's fine.
But the other option I have is just to restart the game
Which is kind of funny to talk about
Where are you?
There's an enemy somewhere in here.
In addition to doing a speedrun,
I'm speedrunning
a
literal game crash.
Yeah, I know you're gonna hit me that's fine
Did you not get hit there? No I didn't but the problem is this guy's gonna investigate
The noise in the hallway which means I'm going to have to go the very long way around
Let's see if I can sleep fast
So he doesn't, at a minimum,
start chasing me to the hallway and I can't do anything.
But yeah so this game! This is
console glitchless and
it's wildly
unstable. So at some point, I'm pretty sure it's a memory leak concern...
At some point this game is gonna crash! If everything goes according to plan, I'm able to get the final boss, beat him and then restart the game.
Let's actually see if he came and followed me.
This is gonna be the spicy death,
the spicy death.
Hi friend!
Okay we're fine.
We're gonna go!
We're gonna anger this...
Hi you're gonna hit me.
You're not gonna hit me.
Oh hi.
Okay bye. hit me. Oh, hi! Okay, bye! Welcome to Miniscare everybody. Yeah, anywho so the game's gonna
crash at some point.
If I get to the final boss without anything going completely off-
well entirely off the rails you won't see the game crash.
That's a Crest Piece game.
I need a key not a Crest Piece game. I need a key, not the Crest Piece.
If I do die...
Well we're just gonna find out when the game crashes.
Also there is a puzzle that you drop down in.
I'm just going to hold back on my D-pad
Oh, I'm right! That's my favorite part!
Yeah there is a whole RNG puzzle
Let me just wing it.
Um, I haven't saved in a while
and I don't trust this game
so we're just gonna save and carry on with our daily
lives. And head
to the library and the library has our final press piece that we need
and two enemies...
Okay! Someone's already mad. Let's go!
I don't know where you are buddy
Where are...I hear you
That's nice and symmetric because he hears you
Oh he hears me! He's hey he's right behind hi okay friend okay that was rude
at least introduce yourself before you beat me up. Come on now, just common courtesy please.
Grab a heal, that's the second hit,
that's fine...
Okay!
Alright, panic button!
Let's go!
Because I don't think they hit the button.
Ah yeah there we go.
It's actually faster to go the other way, but with those two both on the ground...
We'll just come up here. There is still the alert which it's fine.
You got time for a quick dono? Absolutely've got a 25 donation from the dumb owl who says
praise the orb good luck on the run thank you hi bull oh my buddy my god Oh! Orb. My buddy, my guy!
Why do you sneak up on me like that?
That's rude.
Is it orb time?
I'm gonna use the safety button again.
Ball protects me please.
Oh no!
Oh no!
Oh no!
Oh no!
Oh no!
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! I'm gonna use the safety button again.
Ball protects me please!
Save me from this game!
So yeah, you can do this library with actually not using a single charge. You know what?
This is Marathon, so
no. Also say hi to room 112
I don't have to go in there this time which is awesome
Oh yeah
We're going to take another save, just because we are heading up to our first of two boss fights.
And that is the Abraham boss fight.
Brother-in-law right? Brother-in-law, right?
Brother-in-law or uncle.
So at this point we have our four color coordinated crest pieces
and we are going to put them in the
color coordinated slivers that match, well,
the crest piece itself.
Also, anybody ever
want a donation train?
They look like that. Just FYI.
Anywho, there's some enemies following me so I'm gonna let them chase
me and then point and laugh at them because
I can stand in this elevator with the door open at all times
and they're not going to come in...this is a one person I want to hear, it's fine.
But we are out of the... well, torture section so that's arguably
the hardest part of the game because everything will go wrong.
And it didn't, which
means something else is going to go wrong.
Yeah, I think it was fine until
the library section that you had to blow to
orb movies. It's one of those that charges pretty much
Don will grab his key but actually I'm not going
he is going too so we're gonna
let him have
the key for right now
At this point we are gonna try outsmart the Kool-Aid man. I haven't been
successful lately but we'll get a shot. Nope! That didn't work. Alright. Sometimes you can
sneak right past him. Alright, sometimes you can sneak right past them.
Hi! Hey friend. You're a zombie.
Bye bye. Yeah, it-you can wedge
yourself in a very specific spot and just go right past them.
But it's such a tight window.
And if you don't get it right away, it kind of locks itself out.
So I just do an okay stompy but yeah so that's abraham he's our next
friendo of sorts and uh the boss and this is also where the run can just,
Just go off rails.
I have to damage him without being able to damage him
But he doesn't like sound,
so I'm going to damage myself in the process!
Oh jeez!
Don't hit me, don't hit me!
Oh you got hit buddy!
Oh, just a little bit.
Hi friend!
Didn't story...
Okay.
Just really wants to give you a hug.
He does.
Alright, so that's Abraham
he behaved for the first shot
now he is all stompy-stompy because he's mad.
But basically I'm trying to set up a charge
that's going to damage
him.
Oh!
Nope, that didn't hit because he was following me
it works
okay chat i promise Oh wow. Yeah, okay! Chat I promised you something
Something that I say
in every single run
and ya know what?
Actually would you two like to say it it? Has that ever happened before?
That's never happened before.
It's never happened before!
Never happened before.
Chat, they set the line.
We did the thing.
So that, um...
I fully
expected him not to get hit
by that second shot.
That charge sound?
That's what damages him. You have to hit him twice
and
that puts him down.
You get the Raven key.
I've never seen him
get that delayed of a
damage shot from it.
So, okay, pop off, cool.
Mind if I sneak in here real quick?
Go for it.
I'm going to teach people how well I can play piano.
Oh, great.
Got $100 donation from that train you pointed out,
the anonymous train. I'm happy to have a scary excuse to donate to MSF who provide life-saving
care to trans Palestinians. Trans rights, palestine save the animals and good luck oscar
thanks and just a quick reminder make sure when you're making those donations put in for
the incentives because we're uh we still have that incentive to upgrade the 100% in virtual
boy water land yes definitely get your donations in for those otherwise head
may roll yeah just so you thought that was your girlfriend Elizabeth and um
No.
No it wasn't
But that was Isaac though
Hi Isaac
Yeah that's the next person we have to deal with but this is also phase three so
everyone chat salute the ball no more orb goodbye or goodbye i'll miss you dearly
yep it was
I heard that friendos but yes the orb is gone the enemies are not and we have entered phase three Isaac's gonna try to jump scare us, it's fine.
Hi. Isaac!
I kid you not in my uh splits for this game, I call that fight the binding
of Isaac because I am a simple smooth-brained
person. Alright, let me
this is going to be the final cylinder
I've got 1 2 3 4 alright so we are
at...we have bad ending active
and don't have to go hunting for anything else.
Now, there is an enemy that will...
Oh he heard me.
There's enough.
Come on, buddy.
I need you to move like five steps.
Okay, bye!
Tokyo! Okay, bye!
Don't get me stuck on things game!
I have a friend that is not a friend. That's following me going...
There's one enemy in here that's gonna probably troll me oh yeah it's why I'm in here that actually is the ok Oh meat bags please this is a Okay. Oh. Meatbags, please!
This is a good run- okay that guy's fine.
That's the last enemy in this area.
Um...okay you stay right there friendo.
Nope don't look at me.
Don't you dare look at me friendo!
Just made us scare things.
Also for those initial D players
feel free to have the song Deja Vu stuck in your head
because yes it is
perfectly timed jump-scare sounds stuck in your head? Because yes, it is. Perfectly timed
jump scare sounds.
They're not following me into this.
It's Elizabeth
sent us out to get
four pieces she needed to create a countersong
to, hey, Ace Siren's song which is what this family
has become corrupt by.
So the countersong essentially breaks
the curse on the family and elizabeth takes control of
siren song and saves the day so it's eliza says standing for the good ending
for bad ending she slowly becomes corrupted by the
sirens song herself.
So when she, as you're talking to her through those phone calls that we have been completely
ignoring, you start to hear her becoming a little more warped and twisted,
then she's suddenly asking for cylinders. And those cylinders are what lets her fully control the site.
I told you Calliope was going to save the day!
She's fine,
I swear.
Also,
the record scratch?
Oops! Also, the record scratch. God, this is so funny right now.
Whatever dev at Whales Interactive said we need a record scratch in this game...
I want to shake your hand, actually. That makes me so happy that's in there like uncontrollably unconventionally happy anywho we're gonna get lost in a very simple straightforward path and okay you're a little bit earlier in this than normal.
It's fine, it's fine... Everything is fine.
So at this point
we're now coming really close to the game crash.
I haven't died yet, so I'm thinking
I can get through the game
or get through the Isaac fight
and just restart the game
once we finish the Isaac fight.
We're gonna...
Do we feel like gambling today?
I'm feeling lucky.
Chat, friendos in the crowd?
Should we gamble?
Alright let's gamble. Yo lawyer it. Yeah we should be fine but like four sets of quotation marks and five asterisks around that actually Actually, okay. Health is fine.
This is the only forced save in
the game because that allows Isaac to show
up. And friends,
as we enjoy this wonderful piano music, if
you've ever played Red Light Green Light, I've got news for you. You know how to play this match. If you've ever played Red Light, Green Light I got news for you
know how to play this match or you know how to play this boss fight.
So as soon as you see that quick flash and he stops playing,
He's just going to start roaming around. I don't know exactly where he is.
I've got plenty of health so...I'm actually just gonna go
this is fine because i actually don't really have to worry about people excuse you oh hi Excuse you? Oh, hi. Oh that's right I can't hit the switch while he is...
Isaac go back to playing!
Do you mind if I... isaac go back to playing
do you mind if um while you're doing this i imagine with a few quick donations oh go for it uh i think that your unhinged run
is inspiring chat because i have a $50 donation from no comment who says anonymous.
Also, I was wondering why I couldn't hit the switch.
It's because I didn't activate it before.
Uh...yeah we're fine.
Alright, we're just going.
I also have a $5 donation from
Abantito who says thank you for all the work that you do and
also just a quick reminder forever making those donations don't forget to
us let your incentive that had incentive button right down at the bottom doesn't
cost anything extra let's get those incentives Matt!
We've got one to upgrade 100% for Virtual Boy Wario Land.
Alright, don't crash, don't crash,
Don't crash, don't crash, don't crash...
Thomas my dear, Come to me!
I'm waiting for you by the Grand Hallway.
We avoided the game crash!
And I beat the game crash by basically kind of officially crashing again.
It's fine, it's fine! Everything is fine.
Yeah, by doing that it completely resets the memory leak so we are safe from anything else happening. With the ending of the game, there's not much
left. So I'll tell you
the hilarity of the fact that it crashes
where it does. So if you do
the bad ending, the crash is
going to happen
pretty much right as you put in your
final input and before you can look at your RGT. If you're doing a good
ending it's just before he put in the final input.
It's that close.
So if anyone out there loves to glitch hunt and wants to make a big difference
If you could find maybe 10- 40 seconds of time save in this game,
you could make it so that deathless runs don't have
to reset. And that would just mean that like, uh, runs on like pvpace
would be like this ticking time bomb against the memory leak and I think that would be beautiful
And the nice thing is this goes by IGT even though there was kind of a hilarious thing related to IGT
Where I need this
short boy to
get out of my way.
Thank you.
IGT is what we go by
so having to restart
the game is no big deal
but here's the funny part about IGT, and time is actually coming up pretty soon.
The IGT continues through the final cutscene after we put in the final input.
So if you don't know that,
you're just arbitrarily adding six minutes to your time. Ask me how I know.
Here's the hint. I found out the hard way.
Free PB. Extremely free PB.
Next time I streamed, I was like, was like so friends we're just gonna stream this and
I'm going to get a six minute pvp do not ask questions I'll explain later anyway that's
Elizabeth we've ignored her this whole time you're saying uh time is going to be very shortly from now.
That
that is
time time. Then we cannot waste any...
No.
So, there's a reason we look here because the IGT continues on. I need to check something very quickly so YouTube gives some shout outs
cause I might have a slight panic attack just now.
I might need to go to speedrun.com to look at something.
Go for it! Okay, um...I want to give a couple
shoutouts. I wanna shout out my best friend, Remy.
Um...
I love Sarah.
Um...
Uh...
All of my good friends.
Everyone in my Discord.
The Turtles and everyone else from Skate Night.
Um...
And everyone out there who is
looking after and taking care of their friends uh what you do is so important
but look after yourselves too i would like to shout out my partner who is hopefully sleeping at home.
And also, my friends from my tabletop RPG group.
They are lovely and they have been great friends for the past decade
so yeah
Yeah, so
again, thank you for coming on the couch
I had so much fun on here with you
So on the bad side on the bad side...
Well, bad ending's a bad side.
It's seven seconds shy
of world record.
Which is not... The thing is
I only have the world of record in the good ending.
Oh wow!
But what I did just get was a 3 minute PD.
So...
So, I'll take that.
Oh yeah this one's really cool. so I'll take that. But yeah, at this point
you get to see Elizabeth
do a very haunting version
of this song
and it's actually done
in like a minor key like you were saying compared to the good
ending but uh yeah so i will take that for sure this is made of scare, this console glitchless.
If you're a fan of glitches and going out of bounds
the PC version has all those so check that out
otherwise...this is... It's actually
really easy horror game to get into if you're not into
horror games. This is my first horror game speedrun
and I love it. But
that being said, thank you to
both Mouse and Aiko for stopping by again.

the castlevania community in fact we have like 10 runners within
this leaderboard so if i could just quickly read those people
that have helped make this game faster,
we have Sarzak, Sashka Gaming,
Neskamikazi,
Ildizog,
Bobby, the one and only, Rayquaza911, Agent Wyvern very good friend
of mine Uchi and the current world record holder the one and only Jupiter
Climb with that in mind folks we are going to be running any
standard mode which is a simple mode that as usual with any classic vena game
i will have to collect orbs to upgrade my whip. And if
die, we gotta get starting
back from the ropewhip and then
some. It's pretty simple as that. Light
mode is just a permanent level 3 whip
Commentators could you please introduce yourselves?
I'm Cypherin, part of the Castlevania community
through SuperCastleVania4,
happy to be here supporting Steve
and can't wait to see this run get knocked out.
I'm a Lil Z Cards fan 23.
I have run Castlevania 1, 2,
and 5 years ago.
I ran Castlevania for MS DOS
here at SGDQ
and I know that Tempest Mask is going to knock it out of the park MS DOS here at SGDQ.
And I know that Tempest mask is going to knock it out of the park today.
I'm looking forward to this run and you, my fledgling.
And as you can tell,
I am Leon Recon 2 and i am currently being trained
to actually run this very game and i'm hoping that i hear within the next few
months
i'll have my first of
listing on the leaderboards being number number 11 to run this game.
Heck yeah. Alright, before we start I want to make a quick
couple of tributes. The first is my controller right here. This is a Sandland
keychain for my mentor,
my inspiration Akira Toriyama who we lost early this March.
And second to shout out
to the overall Castlevania community
to Furious Paul, who we lost in
early April. Paul was
a runner of Castlevania 4
for an SGDQ
or I believe it was either AGDQ or
SGDQ in 2015.
Paul, while I didn't get to know you all too well, the community
loved you and so I'm doing this one for you man.
Alright folks
I can't believe I get to say this but
could you please count me down from five together five four three two one 3... 2... 1... GO!
Sorry, I had to get that one out of the way for
the Phoebe Hive shoutout to Jogabogi.
Alright let's go! So...
If you are familiar with the Castlevania
classic style, all you need
to get down is this
pretty similar to the usual gameplay
of stuff and things. We've got a Belmont strut going on,
so walking speed is not as fast
as you normally would make it.
But we do have some nice damage boosts
going throughout this game,
and then some.
Jumping is a bit different though, so this is Sonya Belmont
and she's actually the first and currently only female protagonist within a Castlevania game to have belmont within her last name
i'm not sure why konami never followed up on this in any further protagonists like
her but regardless uh unfortunately this game is non-canon.
This was supposed to be the origin story of a Belmont clan's main member
like the initial member before Leon Belmont happened
and so Koji Igarashi deemed this non-canon
to then be able to work on his story,
because he also felt like something that happens
within this game's true ending
doesn't quite work out so well.
But yeah back to the general gameplay logistics
I'm going to have my commentators talk a little bit
about that if you could please
Okay, so
see that meter that says B right down there?
Everybody thinks that's the boss meter in this game.
You know most Castlevania games you would probably assume that
but nope! That meter actually represents a blazing mode what does blazing mode do you ask
well it makes sonia here not only temporarily invincible
but she also moves much faster and when
she makes contact with the enemies, they take damage.
Alas, the only thing about that is you
only get one per life stock so sometime
during this run
we may see some intentional deaths
so that way he can recoup that Blazing
Meter. Of course there is one
drawback of it, anytime you lose a life
you lose all of your heart, sir've got to use the management wisely.
And in this game,
the end of a level
will not tick down those hearts.
So there's actually an advantage
to keeping those
especially considering
that our sub-weapons
are not necessarily sub-weapons are not necessarily
sub-weapons but soul weapons. Siphon could you talk a little bit about
those please? So yeah with the
soul weapons as you come up to each of these bosses
in typical Castlevania games
you get dropped an orb
Orb!
You're dropped an orb and that's pretty much it
at the end level, but as you beat these bosses
you're going to get additional power-ups. These soul weapons
that'll let you do additional moves
or speed up your movement things like that
impact that blazing meter that was talked about disclaimer it is actually
called burning mode but we the couch have to spend the capture decided that blazing sounds
a little bit cooler so because this is a little just trying to get through this as fast
as possible blazing through it come on now well another thing too is uh
as you probably noticed uh he just picked up
a chicken leg not a whole chicken.
And this one, while chickens are not a thing
instead we have delicious KFC
Candle meat is another alternative that I like to use
for them and this actually was something present
within the first Game Boy game,
that being Castlevania The Adventure featuring
Christopher Belmont. That one
had hearts though for HP recovery so
funny how that game did it before Castlevania
or Bloodstained, rather.
Hey folks! I'm gonna pull something from X-Men
if you will.
So we have my friend Metroid Master in the back couch, and as a shoutout to him and Elrock who did X-Men Arcade Co-op
We're going to do a Colossus Roar for every time that I pull out Burning Mode as Sonia.
So keeping that in mind,
I would like the chat to please play along
as well. Also, I apologize if that
might have scared some of you or caught you off
guard. That was not my intent. Or hurt one of your ears that too all right so we are
we are coming up to the first boss of the game and that will be the creatures bat where as i like
to call man bat this is going to be a pretty simple fight
where I want him to try and fly
as close to me as possible.
It can be determined by positioning,
it can be determined by RNG,
it depends on which he goes for first.
It could also depend on,
uh,
what you've done in Gotham.
That is also true.
Swear to me!
I'm here for justice!
Yeah,
this pad is definitely not the Caped Crusader.
Yeah,
totally, totally not Batman, or as I like to call him, uh, yeah this pad is definitely not the cape crusade yeah totally totally
not batman or as i like to call him uh batman from timu here we go
okay that was a little bit unoptimal but that's okay. A little quirk with this game is you can pass through enemies and not take damage from them if they are in the middle of their i-frames
However I will say that you are seeing me at level 3 whip.
Okay this is actually a little bit dicey.
Let's see here...
Okay good.
I have to play that just a little bit safe.
Yeah!
Alright!
ORB!!! Orb!
Alright, so far so good. That's the first out of
five levels down. I will say there are actually six in total. However
unfortunately I have not been given permission
to indulge you in it today
so you will all have to find that for yourselves
In fact, I think this is as great
a time as ever to talk about the platform
that I am playing this game on
So because this is a non- to talk about the platform that I'm playing this game on. So,
because this is a non-canon game
it's easy to see why Konami overall
just skipped out on putting this on any of the anniversary
collections but in
last year's case we did get the first modern port ever.
Which is on the Game Boy app for Nintendo Switch.
As such, anybody that has a basic Nintendo Switch Online subscription can play this for
the low, low price of free.
Which beats paying $200 for a physical copy! And I feel like
a lot more developers should do this with hidden gems. Capcom recently did it with their Game Boy
Classic Mega Man games.
Thank you for that, by the way.
I love those titles so much.
Can we give a round of applause for that?
All right.
So this is level two.
I like to call it the dance hall because we're in a bit of a waltz right here.
We are going to come across a few armored knight enemies coming up and
The first two that we see here, well they like to charge at you after three
going back and forth
patterns, and so
I just need to destroy them to destroy
some spikes that'll be covering my way.
And that's basically it.
Spikes deal how much damage, Elzy?
Four!
And that is the worst kind of damage
you can get in this game, by the way.
At least to my knowledge.
If there is anybody that has discovered a way of taking five points of damage,
please feel free to let me know.
We're going to just start using our...
I had a bit of a runner's moment there. Excuse me, folks.
And yeah, we are starting
to use our first soul weapon in the game
which is the wind element.
And LOZ, I've got a daily double for you. So how much would you like to wager?
I'm not soft tempest. Let's make
it a true daily double. So what do you
normally use the power of wind for? Well,
the power of wind is what the stopwatch would
normally do, is that it would stop time and it costs you five hearts.
And that's good for double your value.
All right.
All right, folks, second verse.
We're going to take it from the top in three, two, one.
Oh!
All right, so like I said we're generally faster in this mode. Burning Mode is very useful for just trying to get through those long hallways but combine that with the
stopwatch and we can especially take care of some enemies i'm trying
to be careful by the way with rope climbing because as it were with
classic games back in the day you have to be holding on to the rope
in order to go downward.
Otherwise if you fall it'll count as a death pit and that's never fun. And I do want
to assure you, if we do take an accidental death, I have ways of getting through this no problem
I've been playing this game as a speedrun for at least
nearly as long as I have been a speedrunner which by the way middle of 2020 it's been quite a long
ride since and I picked it up ever since graduating. So a quick shout
out to my college, Ramapo College
you all rock and actually had
my very first in-person speed run
marathon there with the help of some friends
from the Gamers Club. If you'd like to check out Rubberner's Speedfest, feel free
and I'd love to do it again as well.
That said, being here at an in-person GDQ means so much to me
And it would also mean so much to me as well if, JD, you could give me some donations.
And it means so much to a lot of the viewers at home.
Tempest, you're doing an amazing job!
We have $50 from Omega and Tinkdora. Hey, let's
go! That's right. Tempest, this
looks like a really interesting
gun grave game.
Greetings from the
back couch. Donation goes to runner's choice which i believe would be that
upgrade 100 for virtual boy wire land right correct we gotta get that happening folks let's
absolutely make that happen so folks remember to add that incentive when you make that happen. So folks, remember to add
that incentive when you
make that donation.
And did you know
that that $50 also supports MSF
in getting clean drinking water
for 736 people
for one week?
Big impact.
OK, so we took an unfortunate death to that pit.
I have to say it folks, that's never happened before.
Never happened before.
Well, that trick is also kind of tricky to do because in this game how knockback works
is whichever way you're facing is where you get knocked back, correct?
Or is it the opposite?
Oh yeah. It's the opposite of what you're facing.
Okay.
By the way, a little callback to Castlevania Legends where the orb spawns
the enemy.
The end adventure actually.
Previous.
All right.
We got ourselves the death dragon or the zombie dragon a bit of a
staple in the enemy and a very well designed one at that this fella's pretty
simple though rng will determine whether the fireball
shoots in any of the three head position uh
had had angles rather I should say.
And it'll also bring the ceiling down
Orrrrbb!
The ceiling tiles do the least
amount of damage so those are preferable to take
uh damage checks from and all that jazz.
Okay, so I'm going to quickly switch out of that weapon.
So we did... Oh!
Okay, so that was an accidental misfire.
One to the counter if I will will. Um... metaphorically speaking
that's okay though because we took
that death, I guess I can just get away with
getting another one going. Uh Leon
this game is pretty gracious
about its Gameovers isn't it?
Oh very, very.
Let's just say my first ever playthrough I accidentally did a whip-only run
because I didn't realize that Hidden up a uses your special items it's just how it goes sometimes
folks but let me assure you uh we're still here to have a good time and all things considered
i may be deficient of hearts to try and use the stopwatch.
But hey, no worries.
We'll just build it back up shortly or however quickly is feasible, I guess.
So I will try to take a little less of
damage boosting for that
and we'll just be on our merry way.
Those are Tower Guardians. I used to call those Lizardmen
just because I guess
how they looked and never really had a good read on the official name of the new enemies.
Like this one, which is apparently called The Flying Wolf?
My friend actually says it looks a lot more like Ridley from Metroid
So effectively you're saying we've entered a dragon's lair yes, where the daring when you need them um also speaking of which uh idea for what those
enemies actually are i think they are the cousins of the battle Yeah! That's almost cruel, why would you?
I mean that's fair and all but like
why would Ratchet Zitz and Pimple have to go
descend from those things? Well that's why they're the cousin there
Did they just husband yeah? They never got their own game
There they were just like hey man we got jobs okay so intentional death folks were fine a
Sink it in the hole right there.
Okay so let's just
rebuild a little bit cause let's see
that room right there was where I was supposed to use
burning mode. So yeah that was intentional I was supposed to use Burning Mode. So yeah, that was intentional.
I promise you that much.
Unfortunately we are going to have to make our way
to the closest power-up orb because
the Rope Whip deals the least amount of damage
within the game, which is like
I guess one hit's worth. So
the Morning Star Whip would be two hits'
worth and then
there's the Fireball, which that was
a bit more unique to the Game Boy games.
If you're familiar with how it all plays out, the fire ball is good for
long range stuff however it only deals as much damage as the rope whip
itself. Now the game's not behaving but third verse here we go!
Oh my god I think which one of you went way too hard on that one?
Probably me. There's no such went way too hard on that one? Probably me.
There's no such thing as too hard.
That's fair, JD.
I approve of that message.
In fact, I would also approve if you could give
me some more donations.
Absolutely!
We've got $20 hype beast let's go it says good luck tempest whip this run
into shape let's fight for trans-palestinian rights let's go all right so i'm just going to need a little bit of
quiet time to pull off a nice little potential trick for you all this is a bit of a treat from
streiser 86 task run okay that's fine let's see if that works. Okay, no.
I'm going to try that again just a couple more times.
It's looking a little dicey on
damage but that's okay as long as I
can manipulate those ghosts we'll
be mostly okay. So I feel
now would also be a good time to mention, as you've
probably noticed, there is
a lot of dead ends in this
game that purposely
waste your time. Like, there's practically nothing at the top of them
and make you have to backtrack all the way
And as you can tell these enemies do hard respawns
Okay so we're gonna have to take the...
That's unfortunate but well Part of that is searching
for some additional I think
sub-items or so? Like
on a different branch and paths? Is that right?
It could because
admittedly that's the whole idea behind
collectible items as you might have seen in that menu. I'm just going to say what
i was trying to do right there, we're gonna just... well it is
the same room so I guess I can go for one more time if i really
wanted to uh but that trick right there is me
attempting to do a bit of a camera scroll
so let's see if i get it one more time i'm just gonna need a little bit of
serious time if please.
We got it! There we go, and folks pay attention to the screen right now because you're going to see stuff spawn down.
And that gear right there looks a little bit stuck.
It's supposed to move, the idea is that if I manipulate the camera just right it'll stay there and I will never have to worry about missing that cycle
whatsoever but you know what they say sometimes swag is simply time-neutral and then was the
case here so okay we're gonna try that again because we can go back
down a room and just do a little bit of this
just to get on this gear and not have to wait
for that again. Nice.
Yeah, absolutely.
Fun fact about Game Boy games, they tend to go a little slow.
Just a little?
Just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
Don't mix it up though.
The Game Boy was literally one of my first ever handhelds.
Oh, the Game Boy is still coated.
I have so much nostalgia for this one.
It's funny because one of the first games
I remember playing was Super Mario Land.
Funny how they
put that second after six golden coins on the app speaking of six
long coins uh what about that warrior land
that's true how are we doing with that incentive by the way we are over 500 to that incentive
we've got to make it to that 7500 goal so
we've got some distance to cover and actually I just got a donation that goes
to the incentive if I could go and shout it out, please go
we've got $25 from Ellie jelly
That says yeah
I played this game as a kid
but didn't remember
that it existed until an hour ago.
Warp! Warp!
That wasn't in the donation column.
Continue please.
Didn't know- didn't even remember that it existed until an hour ago when I saw Tempest playing in the practice room. Grats to Tempest for getting this neglected classic into the marathon.
Thank you so much Ellie. Also hi from the back couch. And I have folks,
thank you for all of the
back-couch being present here today
it means so much to me
all those familiar faces throughout the air
seriously this just means so much like it is one thing to have to wake up early in the
morning first in castlevania but let me tell you this this this means so much to
me and i know there are so many people watching too,
and a lot of... I'm sure a lot of communities as well, whether it be live or not.
Like, again,
I have been speedrunning for at least four years
and I would like to give some very early
gratitude to just
a lot of the speedrunning events that I've taken
part of. Starting in 2020
gave me the idea
that there were a lot of online marathons and eventually it gave me the idea that there were a lot of online marathons and eventually it gave me the first
confidence to take my steps into that so i would say shout out to the first marathon i ever got
to do from the source runs community because i believe I believe it was Source Runs Marathons.
It's funny how that can happen
in a wonderful community in itself.
Alright so we have Medusa
she is wielding a sword
Yeah?
Yeah, I don't know it seems
a bit dangerous. I think we usually tell
our children not to play with sharp-eyed men.
By the way Sonya is the one responsible
for bringing all Medusa heads into Castlevania games.
You saw that one floating away.
Sonia! Curse you, Sonia!
Shout out to my friend Aishma who was the first one to come up with this.
Alright, fourth verse! Ah!
Alright.
So.
We have a bit
of an interesting thing- fun fact
with this level. I know we have Grand Poo World 3
on the schedule which I believe is being run by
Mr. Mighty Mouse. This song was actually
ported into Grand Poo World 2.
I can't believe... Sorry,
I can't remember if it was either composer or dan the vp or uh whatever of
the folks that had worked on that soundtrack but when i recognized this being used in a
resnor fight eventually i was like oh that's a nice coincidence indeed. So
fun fact for you all
and yeah we are going to
take our first what would have been
intentional death in this room right here
and this will also be the second time that I'm going
to attempt the
forced screen scroll, which by the way again
shout out to Streiser86
fellow
Castlevania community runner and
Very person that effectively helped us fight eventually put the 100% standard mode
Category on the leaderboard because for the longest time it was just any percent.
Oh, that wasn't a... Sorry, I was talking, but I completely
forgot what I was going to do. Okay, here we go.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
Boom. Okay, no.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest things about knockback is that it will
take you off this thing so let's try this one more time and this is not as important to get
like i feel like the first time I really just wanted to do but
okay that's good enough
but let's see if the intended effect that I
wanted comes out of this one because
I don't believe so. There's a
specific height that I want
Okay, fifth verse folks Whoa! I don't believe so. There's a specific height that I want.
Okay, fifth verse folks!
Okay, the knights will still fall down on the platform except for one
that is about to go exit stage left right there
so yeah that's that's always the fun part if i got that just right though all of them would
have done that and now we've got our boss folks it, it is everyone's favorite Dom Pyrrha! Here's Alucard!
Not from Helsing.
Oh not from Helsing at all, yeah no. But shout out to that one too who apparently got to become an operator in a certain war zone.
Which, the whole point behind this fight too is pretty funny and generic.
It's like...
Ow!
That hurt me!
He literally comes up to you
and says, I'll know.
Orb!
I'll take the blame on that one.
No, you're fine. Keep going. But basically Alucard just looks at you and says
I don't think you're ready! No, I'm totally ready. Okay then fight me.
Exactly because as we all know, every anti-hero has to face off with the hero in a test of might.
Seriously though, I think they put him in the game because Symphony of the Night had just
come out. And Casey
Nagoya, the development team of this game, which
mind you did not work on
Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge or
The Adventure for that matter. Shame really.
They didn't know...
Oh!
Okay, that's fine because we were only at
the beginning of the level and again
that would have been a level where I would
have eventually wanted to take
Death Abuse to regain my Burning Mode Yeah That would have been a level where I would've eventually wanted to take, uh...
A Death Abuse to regain my Burning Mode.
However that, I believe we can call Butterfingers so...
Just a little bit of time lost nothing really to it.
Which uhh...
I'm pretty sure there is definitely an intentional death
in this level as well.
Yes, they're... No, absolutely.
And, I mean, Leon,
it's in the hallway of no return.
Oh yeah, of course!
Yeah...
My favorite!
Oh gosh.
Yeah we'll talk about that in a moment.
I will say this much
We do have one more nice little trick
That I'll try to show off when we get to the Minotaur mini-boss fight.
I can't guarantee it will work, though. It does require a bit of particular timing with the final soul weapon,
the Saint Soul Weapon, which... I guess we could finish explaining those.
So Fire deals normal damage to all enemies on the screen for 5 hearts.
Next verse folks! 3...2...1...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Next verse, folks. 3...2...1... AHHHHHH!
Okay.
Moving on.
Right so fire deals damage
to all enemies on the screen for 5 hearts
it's just normal damage though, it's not particularly useful
The hidden final soul weapon is magic which is
erases all enemies on the screen, a better version of fire
And then the water or ice element, depending on which localization game you play
that's 20 hearts but it does a full heal. Now here is the thing
folks Ice Speedrun Mighty No 9 and as I would know with
that game and its full heal, you can
pop this full heal even if you're at
full health so try not to do that
pretty please. It's never
fun. Alright here we go so one two boom okay no i didn't quite get
it that's okay so unpopular opinion i really think this guy looks like a knockoff teenage
green ninja turtles villain i would agree with that, because Konami
did... I mean, after all, Konami did
do the Turtles games.
So, I forgot to mention
that KC and Nagoya here, they
never really developed a Castlevania game, so this was kind of their first
attempt. And unlike how it was with the
64 team that would go on to do Circle
of the Moon later on, they never really got a second
chance. Admittedly, they
also had worked on the Symphony of the Night's Saturn port.
So I guess that's something but...
Yeah, Kojigurashi...
I don't necessarily say I would blame him for wanting to go his own
way. However, I would also agree that
Sonya Belmont still has quite a bit
of potential. She actually was supposed
to be in a Dreamcast game that sadly
got cancelled called Castlevania Resurrection.
Which you can play the open beta
for, which I believe was
supposed to be for a
show. Either in E3 or
something like that.
We are going to take our final death abuse in the
last checkpoint of the game so as we make our way to dr himself, can I pass it on over for the host?
Actually this is really pertinent.
We have a $25 donation from Sushi Elemental that says
Dr. Acula to the boss room calling Dr.
Acula please come to the boss room
shout out to JSR all right we can
definitely get it can we get as many
donations as we possibly can onto this I would be very happy about that actually.
Yes, let's absolutely get those donations coming in and don't forget to put that toward that Virtual Boy Wario Land upgrade to 100%.
We are eking up closer
to that $7,500.
We've got $10 from Killer Chair supporting MSF saying
Tempest my boy!
Chair my man thank you so much.
Shout out to my friends at BSG.
They are some wonderful people let me truly say.
Shout out to folks like Rekelt and all them,
Killer Chair and just all other friendos.
Yatagami... I could name so much more but unfortunately
I cannot. Yeah, so much. KillerChair continues to say good to see you running for
GDQ. You're killing it! And and you are let's hear it for tempest everybody
folks i need one final shout please
and hopefully that'll be the last time too, because if we die
We're gonna go all the way back to that checkpoint. Yes we are
That is what he was referring to by the hallway of doom
That's correct. Okay, uh, JD we need
just maybe a couple more donations pretty
please. Absolutely, we have a $10
donation from Magius that says
Hey Tempest, how many times
must Dracula die before he finally understands the answer to what a man isn't just a miserable pile of secrets, but someone who's always willing to help others as well? Sorry it's after 6 AM here so couldn't think of anything
to make you all laugh.
So I'll just say from the heart, it's been a long time coming
but you've earned this one man.
Now go out there and wipe the floor with Dracula
and show everyone how much skill you really got.
Thank you Mages!
Hey man those were just shower thoughts, nothing bad about that.
Mage is a long time friend of mine
And speedrunner of all sorts of licensed games. Dude
really knows his Macross and then some
Alright folks, we are moved- We already just
go- easeled our way through
Dracula Phase 1 so we
going to go into phase 2 enjoy a little bit of a redo
of vampire killer time will be on the final hit so let's see how this goes
it could be a little dangerous though so let's try and be as careful as possible.
Good dodge.
Yes.
Tie!
And that's a P Congratulations. Let's heckin' go.
Y'all have no idea how nervous I was
going into this,, the honor of showing
you guys a game for the first time
is just crazy and then some
but like
I'm so happy all the same
seriously folks
feel free to speed run Hidden Gems you never know
what you'll find out of them I always have this little eye for games like this
and let me tell you the amount of memories you can make with them is astounding.
All right so
I'm gonna let my commentators get their shout outs
out of the way first and then I'm going to it on home all right uh i guess i'll start uh
i like to thank everybody back at home those who are watching you know who you
are too many in your name i also would like
to thank everybody in the soaring sloth community, because if it wasn't for them
I would have never met Tempest. And I would like to thank Tempest himself
for showing me the ropes on how they do all this stuff and honestly
It's life changing so I'd like to thank everybody.
And shoutouts to my community studio LOZ,
and of course to the Knott's Berry Farm
Shoutout to Michelle Knots voice of Jesse ever since the Battle Frontier series. That is how I met
Tempest Mask and it's been a privilege
to watch you run this game
today and congratulations on getting
a PB, well done
And one other thing, shoutouts to my mom and also I'm wearing my twins jersey
To honor my dad who passed away a year ago
And he was a big Minnesota sports fan
Love you LZ
Thank you so much
Zyfren? Yeah again Love you LZ. Thank you so much Siphon?
Yeah, again great job
Awesome
tribute to Furious Paul
for those of us who
had a chance in the acting room.
For you to get a PB in a run dedicated to him, I think that's awesome and just
a fantastic job to you. Thank you for letting me be part of your couch
or just witness it.
You're such a very good friend of mine seriously.
I appreciate y' all so much.
Folks, I just want to say this much as a four year speed runner
I will say I take this as nothing but a beloved hobby of mine, which we can do so much good with.
I wanna say,
I am someone that is on the autistic spectrum
and no matter how many challenges
I've been through in my life
I'm grateful to at least be as close
to neurotypical as anyone can ever be because it has allowed
me to make so many very many good memories with
so many people that I have the privilege of calling friends through the speed running
community i really can't stress enough that there would be so many events i wish i could
shout out right now i'll name a few calathon mid, Midwest Speed Fest, fast-paced events, speed docs, BSG, UKSG, all sorts of groups out there.
If I was involved with you then just know that I'm thinking of you right now.
And let me tell you...
Anyone can speedrun.
It's not a matter of the fastest time
it's not a matter of what game you're doing
it's not a matter if you're doing it for an event
it's a matter of having fun anyone can learn to speed run and i highly implore you to do the same
because you never know what you'll get out of it. EDQ, thank you so much for having me
and with that I will say
I hope we'll meet again one
these days. So until then I'm gonna learn
Mega Man X7. Let's go!
Let's gooooooo!
Congratulations
on that PB
Tempest, Max. that was Castlevania Legends any percents.
We saw all the orbs,
all the urrs and all of the amazing gameplay.
We had $20 from Unreal G Gecko that said,
What a wonderful night to have a speedrun!

donation from Anonymous that says,

needed to save lives. Alright, we are ready to turn it over
to LROC617 for Haunted Castle 1cc attempt.
Let's go! go
four more hands up a bit shall we hi everybody i'm elrock617 first thing first thing like to do is introduce my all
star squad sound off sure how so our first my name
is Bobby and I play a lot of Castlevania games except for this once one perfect
for the couch here I'm ellipsis on a future haunted castle
runner hold me to it I'm cypis. I'm a future Haunted Castle runner.
Hold me to it.
And I'm Cypherin, friend of Elroth and Super Castlevania 4 runner.
All of these things I can say to be true.
We are going to be playing Haunted Castle.
Very not well-known arcade Castlevania title. Has two working titles,
one of which is Simon's Bathroom Quest,
the other is Simon's Painful Trip to the Bathroom.
Credit the fuck doc...
Josh the Fuck Doc for the second one. So,
for this game it is an abnormally cruel Castlevania game even by Castlevania standards.
So what we're gonna do first
is pop in our credit and go right to the lore.
This is a retelling of cv1 except in
this timeline they went straight goals and ghosts on
it and simon on his wedding day gets his bride
swipes so we won't have a countdown, I'll just say go to start time. And...
Go! Now you're probably the swiped but more importantly
take a look at that walk animation. We need to find a bathroom first.
Mmmmm stomach oh it hurts first hurts so bad so the first thing we'll be doing is we're gonna be doing a
lot of banging and we're going to the right we're killing enemies were
collecting hearts starts are very very, very useful.
We're going to miss a couple damage moves here for safety.
Go ahead and take care of this guy, move here.
And so this is an arcade game that decided to give us a yellow devil section within
15 seconds, so that's cool right
so the quick thing to talk about with hearts heart much like in every castlevania game
allow you to use sub weapons we don't have any yet but they'll be arriving soon
parts also this games serve a second purpose there are no healing items in this game serve a second purpose, there are no healing
items in this game so no wall meat
press F for that
at the end of any given stage for each
hit point that we've lost to damage
our heart count will then refill it
based on the subtraction from
what our total is.
You gonna do a little bit of platforming here so we got time for a quick donation?
Absolutely!
We have $10 from Alara saying,
Hey Elrock! Break a leg and help our dear hero find the legendary treasure that is a bathroom.
Thank you so much.
Okay, so we got out first sub weapon. This is
the bomb
called so because it's actually a bomb
bomb functions similarly to how holy water
functions in Castlevania one
We only get one use out of it though,
and that's on our first boss
which is very much Medusa at home.
This here is a safe spot
and unfortunately we have to kill bats
to get Medusa to spawn
otherwise I'd just stay here
and be comfy.
So we're gonna go ahead
and take them out as they come
there's the spawns that bat got through that's fine though
in five minutes later she's out of the picture
and the lure here is that we find Medusa, but she has no public bathroom.
Oh, I'm astonished!
Okay so to start off stage two, we've got a new enemy to deal with.
These skeletons launch ghouls after you kill them,
which is very much a beginner's trap.
So what we're going to do is we're just going to hit and we're going to crouch.
Duck this guy.
Also relevant of this top floor
is that we will be getting our first melee upgrade.
We're gonna pick up this boomerang,
Boomerangs not a useful sub weapon but
we pickup sub weapons early because each
subweapon pickup provides 5 hearts.
5 hearts is a lot, we wanna make sure we get as many as we can.
So, we're going to hike down the stairs really, really fast.
So, where do those stairs go to?
Good question! So, here's another new enemy
for the bounce off the back of this amphibian.
That damage boost is actually the best
route to go because if you even if you kill him dodging
the boulder that comes after it's really difficult
bolder sound effect real quick so good i love the audio design of this game and the music is tremendous.
Shout out to Crunchylex for the term, Captain Crunch's oops all bangers
And I'm actually going to take quick quiet time here over the waters
of Trans Pride. This part's really hard bear with me
okay choke point one down. Very nice.
Choke point two! Stopwatch. That's a game over if you miss it.
So stop watch is by far the most important sub weapon in the game
It has been featured in other Castlevania games,
but this game is completely busted because we can use it on
boss fights like this guy.
Stop time, permanent stun lock
and he's out of the picture.
One thing that you want to make sure while you're using that stopwatch
is to be in the air and make that forward jump momentum be carried uh you know with you uh it
says when you attack on the ground it's like classic castlevania you will be hindered by movement so
you want to be as fast as possible make sure you're doing everything up in that air correct
we'll be doing some platforming here and jumping and scootin', so we got time for one donation.
Absolutely! We have $50
from Ellipsis that says
honored to share a couch with one of my closest speed
friends, Elroth. Love you!
Here's $50! With $50 more to come
if you land the quick kill on stage 4
So speaking of bosses, here we have Boney
This requires a bit of manipulation
He's like no daddy don't!
So there you get to see the actual absurdity that is stopwatch
It just completely stopped boning his tracks and 10 hits later he's
just out of the picture it makes certain boss fights completely trivial and it's really really
powerful into the bloody castle is there a bathroom here does anyone know if there's
a bathroom in here there might be a bathroom here? Does anyone know if there's a bathroom in here?
There might be a bathroom in here.
Also, this stage is the way that everybody knows it's a Castlevania game.
This is actually a very good mix of Bloody Tears. I a big fan. So here we have a common enemy in this game, the Fleeman.
These guys are pretty awful though they do wear some spicy red shoes
Big pay those shoes that damage boost is necessary
So here comes a nice stopwatch glitch, we're going to go ahead and
quick jump, activate stopwatch
warp through our room where we'll be fighting some mid
bosses but because we activated stopwatch
it glitches them out completely and we just get to warp right
back. Very useful so we got another stopwatch used
to despawn some enemies from here we're going to just completely ground level it and not have
to worry about anything that might be impending in our way
but hey let's check out this portrait does that tear hurt you good question speaking of questions
how about some donations sure thing we have 25 from Foxy that says congratulations LROC on speed squat walking, this incredibly challenging game in SGDQ. With such a talented runner behind the controls I'm sure Simon will find Dracula's
water closet in no time.
Much support for the best little mermaid
runner currently in the city of
Pittsburgh.
Thank you, Floppy.
Now we have our final melee upgrade.
We have a Claymore. So we're basically
Zingetsu now. We get to kill the stained glass
dude with a stopwatch and eight hits.
25 years ahead of its time. Oh oh we got a new challenger but
unfortunately the arcade is closed so stage four is honestly one of
the more chill stages in the run.
It also has my favorite track, Dental Worship is just god mode.
I love the drums on this track so much.
This is basically going to be a big heart collect-a-thon.
We're gonna be killing most of these mummies.
This one I jumped though because he didn't drop any hearts, so why bother?
Gonna take this elevator down...
The big thing to talk about with this is the boss
but for a bit I'm just going to be doing some combat
How bout we get some donations in?
Absolutely! They keep coming in for you l rock we have 25 from poppy
that says let's go haunted castle i've been super looking forward to this run and i know
elrock is gonna knock it out of the park. Thank you so much, Poppy.
And folks, don't forget to put that towards
the Virtual Boy Wario Land 100% incentive.
We're just under 10%
of the way there.
We want to get to that $7500 goal.
Let's go!
Let's go!
Got time for one more?
Excellent.
We have $50 from Racima
that says great meeting you this event
and excited to see this run. Even
if it means waking up at 4am.
Can't wait to learn
the deep Castlevania bathroom
lore.
So I'll take this time out to...
Oh, thank you Richard. Appreciate it. Sometimes that guy throws a bone at me and I don't want that
Kill this guy for some five hearts. So let's talk about the boss
The boss in this stage is by far the most aggravating in the game he's an rng nightmare so
one of two things effectively gonna happen we're either going to get a quick kill which is really
nice it's also random or what's gonna to happen is he's just
gonna stay back and do nothing and we have to manipulate him on the
screen so we can kill them i'm mentioning this now because there's
actually a lot of tech that goes into this fight that can only last like eight
seconds sometimes so just getting
to know the way ahead of time up the elevator thank you back go away never see you again
okay so let's go ahead and ride the elevator up i'm going to go ahead and quiet time here
because i do need to focus on where the fist
will spawn in case we get the quick kill, so let's go
Alright, so no
quick kill, that's unfortunate, but the fist the fist spawn too late it doesn't work from there
so here's the manip strat i'm gonna go ahead and stand like right here okay now he's really
not playing fair yeah we have to take that hit sadly again this boss is the embodiment of your journey for the
bathroom Okay.
Very nice.
That boss is awful, really bad hurt boxes
everything's a mess. So here we have probably the fastest elevator i've
ever seen and try to do this damage let's get a quick bit of quiet really good music too i love
basement melodies.
Ah! So close! That last window was really tight.
It's only two damage and it's not's nothing in the world, it just looks
better when it's damageless. So we stopwatch
right at the top of the elevator. If we don't
we have to fight a knight and there's a bird on
every single perch.
Okay so we got a damage boost there because I want to make sure
I could get this five heart here. Five is more than one
So we've got some more stopwatch abuse. I'm going to do that real quick
There to make sure I don't have to deal with it.
This guy's going to pop out
and shoot a fireball at me,
but I'm going to stop
watch the hit and stay.
Oh,
that was a slow climb.
Okay,
so I didn't catch the climb.
This is fine though.
So I'm going to kill him
and we're going to stop time. I don't know if i've despawned enough
enemies yeah okay okay all right all right let me let me assess this all right so normally
i take the damage boost from this mummy but because of what happened I'm gonna
not take that. It's only
one damage and it doesn't kill my momentum but
I'd rather be safe
Okay, so now we have our final sub weapon which is
the cross
Cross doesn't have quite as much
impact to stopwatch overall but it is very useful for our last two bosses
Speaking of which here's Frank get under his kneecap, spam some cross.
And there goes Frank. Very nice. Thank you.
The lore on this is that Frankenstein actually does have a bathroom but it's out of order.
Awwww. Shame. All the at the top of the clock tower so our last stage is a two minute
bridge and i'm absolutely not kidding about that we're gonna spend the first two thirds or so just
killing bats by murdering these bats, we're gonna be able
to just go ahead and get some additional hearts. We don't
really need a ton of the hearts but it's a safe strategy
to go ahead and be able to lock this. We also have the bridge
catching up with us so before that can happen how about some
donations? Absolutely and i'm loving seeing
that chad and donors are helping to get this along speaking of stopwatch i see the incentive tick
tick ticking a little bit closer to that seventy7,500 including this $10 donation from Odiahbur saying donating because this is the best walk cycle animation I have ever seen.
Not wrong!
Go runners as fast as your strangely moving legs
can carry you. I hope you find the bathroom!
Thank you, one more
Absolutely, we have a $10 donation
from Anonymous supporting MSF that says,
gotta see that warrior 100%.
Wah!
Wah.
So we're coming up on what's going to be our last bet
that we're going to take care's going to be our last bat that
we're gonna take care of.
It's a slow spawn, so...
Oh this bridge, this is getting scary.
So this is a good indication
about how collision detection works in this game
because we're just gonna damage damage the bridge, but we also
got time for a song.
Believe it or not I'm walking
on air. I never thought I could
be so free.
Believe it or not, I'm just me."
One quick don't know if you got one. Thank you.
Absolutely we have $10 from Crimson Dec, no comment but thank you so much for supporting Doctors Without Borders
Thank you so much Crimson
So here we have Dracula
Quick warning this is a very fast Dracula fight and probably the easiest in the franchise history, so be ready
on time. It's a two-phase fight, so once
he dies in the first phase, don't need to
do anything yet, I'll call for it. So we're going
to walk right past here, we're going to turn around, we're going to spin
across, hoping for one cycle cycle. Not quite but maybe
one and a half? Sweet. Alright cool
It's racing to go over there
Be ready on time because phase two is
the face of Nicolas Cage! Oh no!
Oh no!
And cut! Yeah! Woo! Nicholas Cage, oh no! Oh nooooooo!
That was clean. And we flushed the entire castle
Because we found the bathroom, you see.
Okay so for anyone looking to
play this game it is available on PS4
and Switch through the Arcade Archives line

We also had another $5 donation kind of hopping onto a five dollar donation train i think
from anonymous no comment but thank you so much for your contribution
that five dollars supports msf which can buy four treatments to cure adult patients from malaria or five rapid

Speaking of those donations, we have a $75 donation from anonymous. No comment but thank you so much for your donation.
And I've got a little bit of an idea
the upcoming run here is
Star Trek DS9, Crossroads of Time
Safdress is running it. It's any percent
run. It's going to be absolutely phenomenal
if you blink you'll miss it. But I know that
there's opinions about which
Star Trek is the best Star Trek
so I have a challenge out there
for those watching in chat and those here
in the audience. If you feel Star Trek ds9 is the
best star trek I want to see that ds9 love in the comments but it's if you
feel like another Star Trek deserves a little bit of spotlight, then
maybe put some donations there.
I want to see
which one is going to make
it to the top here inside
the donation comments. I'm excited to see it. i'm excited to see it
i'm excited to see ds9 on the stage but i am curious
folks what is in the minds of our viewers We are so excited here.
I see chat blowing up with both opinions on Star Trek and Dorito chips. That's right, we are seeing the big mix here. And if you don't recall like Doritos is one of our sponsors here at Summer Games Done Quick.
Doritos is proud to sponsor Summer Games Done Quick and celebrate all gamers who try another angle
at the way they play games.

those are definitely
going to help us get more
GDQ. more gdq
speaking of donations we have a 50 donation from zero jedi says, really looking forward
to this Star Trek
DS9 Crossroads of Time run.
A game based on the
objectively best Star Trek
TV series of all time. Surely there could be no debate about this?
Zero, I think there's some people that might want to donate to contest
this but you put forward a very good point here. You put
forward a very good point

going to fly by in time so please get those donations in. We to see swordsman kirby upgrade to a hundred percent

be looking at

Maybe there could be some donations that could contest
that. I'd love to see that
All right I'd love to see that.
All right, well, speaking of DS9,
Sathdresh, I think we are ready to see your any% run
of DS9 Crossroads of Time!
Let's go!
Yes, Sam.
Good morning GDQ
Thank you I want to say thank you
first of all for having me. This is the
very first game... well,
Star Trek game that has been
showcased at a GDQ and it is
the best Star Trek game that has
been made for any of
the early consoles. And I would say the Genesis
version is pretty amazing too, but
it is really, really hard
as a speedrun. So this one is really hard as well speedrun. So, this one is
really hard as well but it's
a little bit more manageable so
we're gonna go ahead and showcase it off
with me we have Zytoriak that's
on the couch and we also have Sivin who you just saw in the last one.
So yeah, we're gonna go ahead and get this started.
One of the good things about this game is it's pretty much an action-adventure game and a platformer,
and a shmup. You'll see some shmup stuff also so let's go ahead
and get going. 3... 2... 1... Start!
Go! and get going three two one start go
oh wait not yet it went to the attract mode so we we gotta... It does that on you every once in a while.
Yep, yep. Alright, let's go!
Alright, so we just got a match through some text and Odo calls us and says we need to
go ahead and meet him.
So we're going to go ahead and go meet Odo.
And it's a lot of running.
As you can see Cisco has a lot of endurance and uh he just hooks it everywhere yeah
look at that ron look at that stride and then as we run through you get to
see some of the cast like we saw kira here's Odo here, of course
We saw I think Dr. Bashir as well
Yeah
We saw Bashir
Go ahead Seth
Odo tells us that there's some anti-lepton particles
that he found and so now we gotta go talk to Jadzia.
And she gives us a tricorder that we got to use in the pylons
and she tells us just give it to O'Brien and Sisko says no Brian's busy and I'll do
it. That is exactly what captain does right? Hand handles everything on their command post all right so we're gonna pick
up that there was an engineer that was just laying on the job yeah knocked out
just sleeping on the job
yeah we're finding these mines that
these bajorans are putting down for some
reason
they're trying to destroy the pylon or
just destroyed deep space nine and so cisco Yeah, they're trying to destroy the pylon or just destroy Deep Space Nine.
And so Cisco, again, taking on the task solo is like I got it covered.
I'm not going to call my security team.
I can take care of everything, so
gathering up all these grenades and
going around and disposing them in
these little
space urinals it looks like on them?
Yeah.
We're putting some urinal cakes in. Yeah, urinal cakes that's it and so with the tricorder that Jadzia Dax
gave to us we can then identify where some of these hidden
grenades are and toss
them into the chutes here.
But Sath being as
good as he is with this game knows
by heart where each of the hidden grenades are,
and so it's just going straight to them.
And as you can see,
as we pick up a grenade
a timer is counting down in the upper right corner.
If you do not dispose of those grenades within the allotted time,
it's an instant game over and you have to start over. One thing that is nice though between the SNES
version and Genesis version is this offers some checkpoints where the Genesis one not so much.
Yeah, the Genesis version is very low on check points
Yep yep, so we have
time for at least one donation?
Yeah yeah.
Absolutely! We had $25 from Poppy that says Star Trek with Zaph after Haunted Castle?!
What a great start to the morning! Also,
Lower Decks is the best
Star Trek. Oh, indeed.
I love it. Very nice.
Let's get another one. Sure, we have $70
from Agnoiaver supporting MSF saying donating 10 times the number of slow hands past the station in the Deep Space Nine intro because hey!
Deep Space Nine.
So another thing quick call is that as Saf climbs down slowly from each of these ledges
there is fall damage in this game but based on the distance and height
if you are too... let's say the distance is too great,
Cisco can die like in mid air.
Yeah it'll just kill you right away
It won't even show you falling on the ground
It just like no you're dead
Yep you did
That it But one thing like no you're dead yep you did that it
but uh one thing as you can see cisco has these like prince of persia type of uh jumps and grabs
to these uh ledges here it'sges here are really impressive to see
In addition to his incredible endurance
he has plenty of fingertip strength.
Pulling up that wall...
And we got one more that we gotta grab! and the Oh, nice turnaround there.
And that should complete this section here.
Yeah, stage door.
Oop! John. All right, so reporting back
into Odo with what we just dealt with here.
We're now I think running to is it the shuttle deck at this point sir?
No, we are going to our office right now.
We got a page from Kira. There's
a Cardassian named Gol
Gurji that's
showing up and
not to be confused with Gold Dukcaf they they added them and it's actually
the uh if you look at the credits it's one of the senior uh developers
they decided to insert themselves, which is nice.
Yeah that's very cool.
Yeah Gol Dukat is like the main villain of
The Bachelor TV show
so yeah not to get the two mixed up
we just passed by our son Jake
chilling in the deck there Yeah we got to go talk to quark
to get some uh rumors that happened from uh some bajorans escaping
that were throwing those uh mines they actually escaped so we're coming to
go ahead and find them now we're about to give Kira permission to go ahead
and go after them so. Now is our weird shmup stage, which I pretty much refer to as Papa Smurf's colonoscopy.
If any of you have a different name for it, get your donations in and let us know.
And with that go ahead, uh, host if you have anything.
Absolutely!
We have a
$500 donation
from Julie
Cat that says,
Mom! Dad!
Come here! You got to Oh, mom! Julie! Dad!
Come here. You gotta see this!
Sad trash!
Thank you so much, JulieCat. Oh my gosh.
Yes that was a huge donation and everybody I want to remind you please go ahead
put those donations toward our 100% Virtual Boy Wario Land incentive
we are almost $2000 of the way to the $7500 goal.
I know we can do it!
We are getting so close.
Alright and then
we get out of the wormhole
And this is basically an auto scroll Alright, and then we get out of the wormhole And
This is basically an auto-scroller
For about 30 seconds
Then we have a boss fight
So if you have any other donations
Feel free to go ahead and read it.
So earlier I called out for a five dollar donation train,
and we got some which is fantastic! We have a five-dollar donation from ChazML
no comment but thank you so much. A five-dollar donation from ChazML. No comment, but thank you so much. A $5
donation from Jojo07 saying
GDQ is one of my favorite times
of year. I love everything you all
do and I'm having a blast watching
these runs. A $5 donation from Kevin Lund that said, I picked a good week to
have surgery and lay on the couch all week! Can't wait to spend the week watching all
the amazing runners at GDQ. Best hopes for good recovery, Kevin!
Thank you so much for joining us and a
$5.55
donation
from Captain Envy saying
heard someone mention Babylon 5 as best sci-fi show. For sure! Though true browncoats know that would be fireflies.
$5.55 train for Babylon 5.
Nobody said
anything about Stargate?
Oh, yeah. I mean
the donations still are coming in
so maybe that's a signal there.
A confession. I've never seen any of those but
i had star trek deep space nine that's all i need
yeah that is true all right so that was a auto scroller the boss fight in
that uh it's kind of cheesy.
He reads your inputs and your momentum
so it makes it a little tricky
so you kinda gotta lead him in certain areas
and the asteroids affects where it moves so um yeah he must have
been using the forest because it looked like a y-wing we're going to talk to O'Brien and ask him to check some communication logs.
Finally putting them in work.
And just stop into our best for an Odo, because
we always seem to talk to him all the time in this. And
Golgurji is just sitting here on the promenade, and we're going to talk to him again,
and he's really mad! He says that that those bajorans could have damaged his ship
and we owe him money in repairs so i don't know why but oh we missed the jump so supposed
to jump there so we wouldn't have to worry about that
walking animation but eh
You're trying to save the frames you know
All the frames
Alright so now we're going down
to Bajor because Kayo Paka got kidnapped.
So,
We're gonna go find her.
And this is definitely what you want to have outside of your temple that
You're having a whole bunch of people come do
a pilgrimage? Or is these
fire-breathing statuettes?
Yep, there's absolutely
nothing to really have. Flamethrowers on walls of people's houses.
They're just testing their faith if you're devout you'll make it through.
So this is basically a maze, we have to light these lanterns up in order to continue on if you put in the wrong ones.
In certain areas, you can actually
softlock the game. The next room, if I don't grab
this one, will actually softlock. It's kind of an oversight
but it happens. So question
Seth for this like how do you know which ones to
turn on here? You can turn a whole bunch of them
on and it's pretty much trial and error.
Unless you do that one room
for some reason.
But yeah,
it'll tell you that
that doesn't work and to try again.
And it will reset the lights.
But there's nothing in the casual play
that would be-
Tell you which ones to light up?
Nope, not at all all right and so we rescued kayo paka
and now we decide to go deeper into the mines that they have and find out where the actual origin of
the anti-lepton radiation is coming from.
Yeah, this stage is considered one of the harder
stages of the game. I know talking to Seth
he says that version is a little bit more...
Well I guess there's variations between it and the Genesis version?
Yeah. The Genesis version is a lot longer, no
checkpoints and the fans
do a lot more damage
to you but this one
is still very tricky.
You have a lot of damage reduction that you
gotta look out for
in order to go fast.
You're gonna take a lot of hits trying to go fast through this
no matter what.
And so
you kinda want to
I don't wanna get hit there.
You kinda want to
pick and choose where you wanna to take damage at. Sometimes
it might be a different area depending upon where you're at in the
run, how much health you might have. And then you gotta watch out for
some of these falls still too, right?
Yeah. If I drop down too far from that ladder we'll take fall damage and
We don't want to have like really that much...
Like all this is calculated for uh
For how much damage that we're gonna take through here and we should have enough to
tank two hits from some rocks at the end of
this stage that we're gonna need, at the very end of the stage. There's
actually like three other little sub stages to this before
we get to the end but we don't get a health refill until like two more stages.
Is now a good time to sneak in with some donations? Yes. Alright, so
we have a $30
donation from Nick saying Voyager
is the best Star Trek and
Nova Class is the best Starship
class. Also I found these gold-plated
nanolatinum bars while I was cleaning
out the Buster Collectors.
I was going to buy a new hyperspanner but
this will be for a better cause.
Thank you so much for your $30 donation, Dex.
This room is very evil for casual
players, so we've collected these grenades that we have to plant on this generator here about four of
them and once we plant the last one we need to book it as quickly as we can because then
now the room is filling up with water and uh yeah electrified water electrified
water and these jumps again sort of being along the lines of prince of persia
type jumps if you're familiar some of them don't like to stick, so...
Yeah. We did get the ones that are
the most troublesome,
So I'm very happy about that
but we're still not out
of the clear yet
Anything can happen You could accidentally fall off
of these sometimes it doesn't have any hit detection
That's really good that was a great
climb sir
Thank you
So we are going to actually do a death abuse here This is one spot gonna actually do a death abuse here.
This is the one spot where we do a death abuse to get a health refill.
And we got the quick continue, nice!
There's for some reason on that stage only
it can make you wait that whole continuous screen for it to spawn through
and won't let you do any inputs until it fully shows up.
So we're just going deeper and deeper into the mine.
If you have any more donations, go ahead give us two of them.
I love how the donation train also has
the Star Trek takes. We have a $5 donation
from Klingon Knifebites that says
my controversial Star Trek take is
I like Sisko better before
The Beard
and we have $ dollars from mint saying you're all wrong
the best hard sci-fi series was red dwarf that's a good one actually i never seen that either i'm sorry so i get this man off this couch
all that matters is the DS9. Yeah, yeah exactly.
Good for a couple more or not?
Oh yeah go ahead.
Alright we have a $10 donation from LunarBladedK saying
$5 donation train times two.
Yes, please.
Good job on the runs.
Great job keeping stream steady to the tech team
and the GDQs are awesome as always.
Thank you so much for your donation supporting MSF.
Alright, I think we can do even one more.
Yeah alright! Continuing on the train another $5 from MrArtBark saying $5 donation train. Woo!
Let's go.
Yep, so I think we're getting fairly close
to the end of this uh
this whole cave segment here yeah i'm taking it a little easy right there
because that if you get hit by acid twice in a row
like that while you're still
getting hit by it, you actually take a lot of damage. You really don't
want to do that so we just stutter stepped and saved
all that health so...
Yeah we have just the right amount of health to hopefully survive some potential falling rocks as we are fighting the boss you can say of this area.
Yes this is definitely a boss.
We're fighting a replicator
everybody that's making those
veletrium grenades so we just blew it up
Oh! We got hit by a rock!
That's what we didn't want but
we had enough health for it so...
And then just stand here and get smacked?
Okay, you dodged at that time.
We pick up some replicator parts and head back. Awesome.
Going through that stage it's funny to see how many of those Bajorans look like they just turn around and
see Sisko there and get shot before they can do anything. And then,
That one just swung at Sisko as he fell out of the sky?
Yeah some of them are aware of the evil plot
they're just there doing their job and then cisco comes bow zap
so o'brien tells us uh that he did find some communication logs between the Cardassian ship and the Bajoran
ship that we went and apprehended through the wormhole.
Hmm, apothecary ships... The plot thickens.
And now we're going to get a page from Bashir and we are going to take control of Bashir for a second so we are going to jump here that way we don't have to walk and again saving those frames now our bashir so we have to try to use our tricorder it's broken so now we got to go back to o'brien and get it fixed
so So now we gotta go back to O'Brien and get it fixed.
So...
O'Brien, fix our stuff!
Easy peasy. Fixed. and this is kind of
like the whole adventure
you know game thing where you gotta go
around and talk to people about progressive
flight in a specific order
they all move in different areas after you talk to them.
You know, I just wanted to give that
whole open world feel before
the open world games that we know
today came out.
Very true.
We're really in deep space nine right now you know i also have to ask everybody do you love this soundtrack it is freaking amazing I don't know if you are listening to how
much of a banger this is. This one's bassline. Yeah, this is really good.
Gonna talk to Garak real quick... One of the best characters in
the TV series
I'm gonna do this because it's really funny that they, you know
hint at it in the show. Before I read these results
we're gonna talk to Jadzia. Hi Julian! Hello Jadzia
Are you busy later? Sorry, I am
I'm studying some replicator fragments from Vajra
Bashir had a huge crush on
Jadzia Dax here. i love how they had to throw in that in there it's great
it's like yes bashir just just stop and we've now regained control of Cisco.
And, we just come- We figured out the plot so uh...
The plots a little convoluted but basically there is a Cardassian that Gol-Gurji
is dealing with. That has a whole bunch of plastic surgery to look like
a Bajoran and he is the leader of a Bajoran restorationist cult
that wants to bring Bajor back under
the rule of the Cardassians.
I think there's a plot in the actual TV show where there's, you know
some surgical manipulation
to somebody that disguised
himself. If anybody wants to donate
in and tell us what the episode is,
feel free to do so.
I'm sorry, Odo.
I didn't mean to punch you
in the face.
I love the call-out for the donation trivia there.
Do I have time to sneak in a couple of donations? Yes!
I love how this is not only talk about Star Trek, but also
about the best classes of Starship we have ten dollars from kainazo that says
the sovereign class is the best class of star ship also sg1 was awesome
we also have 10 from from Dynas that says,
$10 for Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis.
My first sci-fi series and still very much loved indeed i agree all right so we're actually in the past now the that whole section
that we were just in uh it was a whole convoluted thing for us to learn
that we need to go back in the past and learn about the phaser frequency changes
and how they work with the board because we're going to translate that
into changing our transponder frequencies so that way we can go ahead and
teleport into the cardassian ship because they keep changing their shields
and we can't get access to them. So now, we're at Wolf 359
The worst very worst day of Cisco's life, and the
Prophets decided to go ahead and place him there.
One of the cool things about this level is as you see
various Borg members. Saf just shot one and so he has
right now two phasers the one that he shot with no longer will work on the
remaining Borg in here, In order to reactivate it
to work, he has to then
recalibrate the frequency at certain computer
crosses. He was able to shoot another one there
because he used the other phaser
that he had in his inventory.
Yeah, I've routed this out to where we basically
uh...I don't need to change that much
Uh.. I only killed
the required amount of board that you need to, so we're gonna go ahead and change our frequency there
There is a replicator there that I can use to get food, but we don't need it right now.
Yeah, we're looking good on health right now.
And we're going to need it because we're going to try something...
I'm not entirely sure if it's going to work.
It is very inconsistent, but it might work
and if so then
it's going to be awesome. Yeah this skip
coming up that SAF is about to do
will save minutes if we can
pull it off and it's risky too because
the Cisco will take a lot of
damage while attempting it after
we grab a few items along
the way here. But,
it's really neat to see.
Triple down, get up there. But it's really neat to see
Don't forget to grab the lightsaber here We'll get some more health and change our phaser again all right yeah now right after this section is the upcoming skip Oh, alright. Now we're just gonna go.
Okay so that gas has like three particular you could say like visual patterns
Saf knows which one to make an attempt to leap at it so that then
you will receive damage but sort of fall in the middle of the gas and be able to just
sort of walk off to the left of it. But now we're taking sort of the intended route
to then come in from the opposite side where it also requires that we have to turn off some power
uh to get access to where that scheme is because that's blocking our way you're
not supposed to get in there, it's a sequence break
to get through that way but there is about
three frames you can get in but its all dependent upon where
jump and how far you jump, so it's
kind of a pain in the butt. We're trying to
make it more and more consistent. It's getting there because
it's a local cycle, so it's actually not the hardest thing to reset if you need to
but also does a lot of damage.
Once you get in, you have to do it again to get out. So
You get in and you get out
If you don't have enough health for that then
you gotta go
Local cycle meaning those patterns we could sort of leave the view
of the gas and come back immediately
And it just sorta resets itself
As opposed to a global timer like
as Cisco's running throughout this whole level
that gas is constantly moving. That's not the case, whatever you see is happening at
that point in time you leave it um it stops and then you come back in
and it starts to resume itself.
Yeah,
we're going to go
and get some health here also.
It's not a big deal
for getting the health
but uh
we're going to need
a lot of health for
the last part of this stage also
i think we have time for at least two donations.
You got it! We have some more donations
coming in with the Deep Space Nine love, $9 from
Anonymous saying donating $1 for each
deep space, but we also have
a contest of $7 from CC
saying here's a dollar for each season
of the greatest Star Trek The Next
Generation
Thank you, thank you everybody seriously
It's really a big deal right now as well
because with everything that MSF has been going through this past year.
They really, really need your donations so thank you
everybody who has donated and please keep those donations coming in. Yes please.
So we're now at a point where we are trying to get Jake and everybody off of this station here, and got to repair the transporter. It's
under fire at the moment, and Sath is just using the damage here, just to repair the transporter. Yeah you take a lot of damage on that
fire so I do it in a way where where that's basically limits as much
damage you're going to get from it. There is Wolf359 everybody!
Alright, back into present Back in the present.
And since we learned about the phaser technology, which we should have already known
since we're a Starfleet captain,
We are now Odo and we have our shape-shifting abilities.
So we're going to go ahead and go in these vents
in the Cardassian ship
And...we're gonna make our way through
to the first keycard room and we're gonna make our way through to the first key card room, and we're going to go ahead
and allow Cisco to come in.
Playing the Genesis version
and beating this initially I had no idea about these vents.
I spent a lot of time on this like what am I supposed to do?
Yeah it was just sort of difficult
to get through until eventually realizing
oh you can travel through the vents. i didn't do that at any other point
earlier in the game but here we are yeah we're jumping right there because it's
actually a lot faster than just walking uh as you can see, he's very slow
so the jumping actually saves about 2 seconds
from just walking down that hallway
Alright! So now we're Cisco again that hallway.
Nice, so now we're Cisco again!
So...we're gonna kill that Cardans here We gotta get rid of these turrets
and they are
a pain in the butt. But they're all local cycle as well,
kind of like this game skip so I can go ahead and
get past them Get past him and...
Yeah, he'll- as you see, he steps away
And the turret goes back to its starting position
It resets itself
And we have a lot of these computers that we gotta go through, uh this one there's three
of them and uh this unlocks our first keycard so we can go through the rest
of the shit. So if you have a donation go right ahead and... Oh boy do I.
I have $10 from Gramps that says
everyone knows the Aussie
classic Farscape is the best
sci-fi TV series.
I've seen that.
But more importantly grams and saying 300k hype
that's right folks we have raised over three hundred,000 for Doctors Without Borders!
Let's go!
With the donations that are coming in we're almost $3,000 of the way to Virtual Boy
Wario Land 100%.
I feel it in my bones.
We could make a chat.
Do not forget
to put those
towards that incentive.
This is good showing off his speed
here where
Odo wouldn't have made it through that's why we're jumping
as a mouse.
And yeah, the on the wall there's these little valves or I don't know.
Lockers?
Yeah with Cisco speed he is just rolling by them. But otherwise they can impede
your progress if you're not
moving fast enough.
Alright so we gotta go
through a few doors here and then we'll be in one of the final segments of the run I believe.
Taking that awesome soundtrack again...
Look look look just dashed by!
Yeah, the Genesis all of those are
solid objects and you have to kill each one of them in order to pass through it
and it's very hard there's a cardassian
and we're gonna move so we don't get hit. We have to take this...
Ooh ooh ooh! One little shot. Gotta kill those. Those are little turrets.
Yeah they do about 1 quarter or like 1 quarter to a third of your health. And they are mean.
So as Saf deactivates these terminals, you say, like there's other terminals above
Like these vertical pylons or whatever you want to call them
And the time increases
to deactivate them, so then
as you have these turrets aiming at you
you're sort of sitting
duck for a lot longer period of time
So that's why Sath isath will take some time to destroy the turrets and continue to deactivate each terminal
We have full health so we can take a couple hits but uh it can turn real
quick when you're on here so especially up at the top if you fall
uh you take all that fall damage and then plus getting the tank hits from any of these turrets.
So he's basically doing this to deactivate the tractor beam so they can leave the Death Star right?
Yep, that's exactly right
oh yeah see this this one's a lot longer so we're too
seeming some damage but yeah we got a good amount of health here
yeah that's about how much uh it takes if you don't take them out
but we still have to take it out because it'll get you on the side too so let's check this out
and if you have a donation, feel free to read it.
Great! Sounds good. We have a $5 donation from Dan and Jordan saying
time to ride the rails on a $5 donation train
I don't know about Star Trek, but my favorite X-file is Logan. Okay! Yeah!
I guess that... yeah! Differently? Go ahead and donate it in. I'll go ahead and read it.
Thank you!
Do we have time for one more? Yeah!
$25 from Jeremy Bearamy that says
Best Trek Episode-Darman
Best Starship Class- Akira. Best speedrunning
marathon, SGDQ of course!
Alright and now this is
the last part of the
stage. We got into the bridge
and Gol Gurji decided that he
was going to go ahead and put the self-destruct on, so now we're using the code breaker
to turn off the self-destruct.
And that's the main timer that you see,
the 36 seconds right there.
That counts down and if not then you die.
So we beat that.
Now this is
basically just cutscene for sense so we're almost done with this
We just have to mash some text here
We have an inescapable cutscene
and this is where the Cardassians,
this is where Gol Dukat comes in
and decides that they're going to go
take care of their problem and get rid of
Gol Gurji.
And get ready on time, but Seth will call it when it gets close. Alright, so now we have actual Gold Ducat the villain of the TV show. And time!
Wooo! And time.
It's a really great game, the music for it is awesome. I hope some more people pick it up because it's definitely one of those games that not a lot of people that I talk to about it have ever seen or heard of of it. For a Star Trek game, it's amazing.
I really hope more people
pick it up as well.
But again
everybody
please again everybody please
please help
MSF
out
as much
as possible
right now
they
truly
truly
need it
from
the bottom
of my
heart
I know
everybody
here
as well feels the same way so um really
please and i'm gonna go ahead and Please. And
I'm gonna go ahead and we're gonna
pass it over to Zytoriak
Do you have any shoutouts that you'd like
to give?
I'm good, I can't think of anything off the top of my head.
Just thank you again for allowing me on your couch, Seth
Shoutouts to both you as well as Lucha, right?
Yeah.
Lucha Gym both put in a lot of hard work for this game I know at least coming from
Sega perspective. I first played this on Sega Channel and know how difficult of a game
it is, and to see the
work that you both put into it is
remarkable. It's great. So again,
thank you for having me.
And I want to shout out Lucha Jim as well, thank you Lucha
for everything we talked about it for years about routing this and going
through it and we finally did it and it's been it was such a blast going
through it.
So thank you Lucha.
I also want to thank Meg.
Thank you Meg for all the support as well
and then everything for this weekend as well. And then, you know, everything
for this weekend. TMK, Wolf Mom
Sin Lhasa, thank you. JC, thank you as well and
Cyfren, Cytoric, thank you for being on my couch as well.
Dan and Jordan from KnowledgePipe, thank you
as well. You're all
freaking amazing. Julie
Kent, yes. Thank you all.
So we'll go ahead and give it back for the next run
so I hope you all enjoy
and please, please donate
they need it
She GG, Satras.
Thank you so much for that show-off of Star Trek DS9 Crossroads of Time Any%.
I saw lots of Star Trek and other miscellaneous love inside the donation comments.
Thank you so much for playing along and sharing your passion.
I want to read off a couple of donations really quick before we take a slight stretch break.
$15 from Sir EJ saying,
Hey Seth I'm so happy that you made it into GDQ
Congrats! Thank you for that and
Jofus Mano donates $25 to MSF
saying, this Castlevania
mod looks wild!
Great run, Sap! This is definitely
my new favorite Star Wars
game.
Oh, everyone, thank you so much for your donations.
Get up, stretch, grab a drink of water, hydrate,
and we will be back with more speed running in just a bit.
I want to be able to share some more awesome donations here, calling out all the different passions.
We have $5 from Bird Person saying 04 Battlestar Galactica
is the best sci-fi series.
Yup, yup!
Strange New Worlds is
the best Star Trek series.
And The Nova Class is the best Starfleet fleet ship class.
We also have a $10 donation from ZebtraTurkey96
that says, DS9 holds a special
place in my heart. There's many
episodes where they surgically modify
themselves. Kira gets turned
into a Cardassian against her will,
Galaducat disguises himself as
a Bajoran, there's an episode
where Quark has to surgically change genders
while that last episode was viewed
as problematic at the time,
today it serves as a genuinely solid trans allegory.
Much like Jadzia Dax.
Trans rights! We have $10 from Pumax saying,
great to see a Star Trek game on SGDQ.
Awesome run to watch while rewatching
Star Trek DS9 for the fifth time!
That's commitment. You really enjoy that.
Thank you so much,
Foomex for that wonderful donation
for Doctors Without Borders
That $10 donation does indeed put
you in the running for a drawing
for some awesome prizes such as
The Mega Man X The Great Eight print or
the 16 by 20 inch Cal Kestis metal art

Thank you so much for that donation
Suddenly Onions and that indeed was
towards that Virtual Boy Wario land 100 run thank you
thank you thank you for supporting doctors without borders all right so t TVCR is all set to show off some amazingly fast gameplay with the Terminator Skynet.
So let's take it!
Hello,
TBCR here and
it's a very special time because this is the first event I've done
two runs for but not only that they're back to back so picture
this as like a double feature. There are two runs that involve
the mouse, a lot.
This one particularly strafing and killing time, well you're in for a surprise for that
but let's get to the Terminator. I've done this run before at ShootaQ 2020
I was a bit angry during that one you may have noticed but uh it's been a few years
and we're back to do it and oh boy there has been some recent developments and by reason
i mean within the last week so let's just get going.
This is a FPS title, it is a standalone sequel
or expansion to Terminator Future Shock which was
Todd Howard's first game and this is his second game
And you know what? That's really all I have to say for
that but let's get going! Alright so name doesn't
matter because we're not gonna see it and we're gonna start in...well
I didn't mean to do that. Hold on.
A bit antsy at the moment.
Alright, so we're going to officially start
the run in 3, 2,
1, go!
Alright, plot... three two one go all right plot uh you've maybe watched the terminator you can probably guess what the plot is for that apocalypse john connor john conor is in this game. He's like
in his 50s. There are cut scenes to this game, we're not going to be watching them
because that takes time so
I went out of the building.
I had a feeling that was gonna happen
and I was supposed to say but you know what?
It's like sleep deprived
and it is 6 AM so take that as you will.
So let's try that again. time. Your runs always rule, man! You got this CBCR and thank you for your donation
Amarlyn. Alright let's actually save and then try
this again- okay now I've got the good one. In practice
I didn't have that happen but But you know, that's in practice.
So we are in a bunker and we're here to find a thing.
It's a big thing
And we're gonna get to that just a second
but I'm going first use these Molotov cocktails on these robots.
And then we're going to get a nice little door clip, now you may have saw
I was strafing through the hill. We can also do that
through doors by doing pause buffering
we could do other fun things with
pause buffering but that's in the next
level and that's a recent development
let's get to this level so we're gonna
do some pause buffering through some windows
We're also going to do some
strafing across this
hallway and then get stuck on the polygons
but you know, that's fine and dandy
And we're almost done with the first level,
We're gonna get back to a jeep that was at the beginning of the
level but I'm just going to slide up this hill real quick
hopefully not get radiation damage
By the way there are flickering lights in this game
particularly whenever I get radiation damage and the sub-level a bit later on.
So just a heads up if that kind of is a bit adverse for you.
Anyway we're going to start the first driving level and recent development
i can go backwards no that's not intended uh so let's go again so we found out that if you pause buffer going up the hill
you can die no that's not what happens you can actually
continue to build up speed and if you turn,
you can get up a hill faster and this means I don't have to drive down this long valley way.
Let's try that again.
I'm surprised I'm this nervous,
I did world record in this game earlier
in the practice room with 11 minutes 10
I believe?
But I did record that.
The same can't be said for Killing Time,
which I also did world record.
But anything can happen tonight.
It is a marathon setting, of course.
It is a marathon setting.
Alright, so we're heading to a particular box van and maybe we'll collide with it I don't know.
Sky's the limit at this point but I'm going to do some pause buffering
to kind of build up speed so that we can get through this driving section faster. We're almost done with the level, if you could believe it.
Alright, so there we go- oh! There's the box fan! Oh, I missed it...
...but we made it.
Wooo! But we made it. Woo!
Now there's two more driving levels, one is for flying and one is also driving
And were going to use similar strats for those
levels as well With the flying, we'll actually go out of
the map.
But let's get into Cyberdyne for the time being
We have to find some things about
the big nuke that we found in the first
level and there is also a submarine that we got to find out about
but there's robots blocking the whole thing there's radiation right there we
can't go through there this radiation will die well you know there's another
way you can get into the
building every building hopefully has that it's roof access so let's get into
there now here we go into Into the building, and
I have to be very careful with this tree
because this one you can actually die really
easily on.
Come on.
Turn back? Okay. Okay okay we fell out of the map now that's
fine we fell to our death but that's also
still fine because we have loading i don't know why i keep looking at the
thing in front above me I don't know why I keep looking at the thing
in front,
above me.
I don't know.
Again,
6 AM Tebes.
You've got this CBCR.
So now we're also
going to do a fun thing
that's still in Bethesda games
for some reason
which is you can save your game and load
it. And you can negate all falling velocity and falling damage, which is good because it helps us
get into the bunker a bit quicker. Uh, sometimes we don't land in front of
the door and we have to carefully save and load
to kind of hover over to it so i'm going to use these grenades to
kill the terminator and it didn't go as fast
as they wanted it to but you know that's just how it goes sometimes. And I'm
actually going to stay right here because for some reason sometimes when
you try to strafe against this door here,
You can just go sliding down the wall even if your basically perpendicular with the wall.
I still don't understand why it does that and i probably never will.
Alright so we got both terminators in one go that's pretty good and I'm gonna
say after I hit this I'm going to save and reload and if you want to shoot off a donation
while I'm trying to clip through this door, you can.
I think we've got some love for you, TBCR.
You're absolutely killing it.
We have $50 from Late Pippo supporting MSF saying,
Hey TB, while I'm very sad I had to skip GDQ and our movie night.
I'll take advantage of the Belgian time zone and be wide awake for your two runs.
I hope this twisted pair of games won't represent a tortured crossing in your marathon
career.
Thank you for being the highlight of every GDQ.
See you next time!
I had a feeling an Neil Breen reference
was going to be made during my run.
Yeah, exactly! Thank you so much LateTipo for your generous support of Doctors Without Borders
Alright, we dive from the terminator and for some reason I decided to save the game in front of it, but we'll see where that goes.
I should be able to get through it... yeah, we got through it! For some reason sometimes jumping
and going across the Terminator you won't take damage
like only sometimes the hitbox will actually affect you
again i don't really understand that and to be honest i don't really need to because at least
it works so you know all right so we're done with this level there is a little bit of a
wait you have a little bit more time for a donation because we have to wait for
this thing to fly over here and then stop on a dime
yes of course we have a $15 donation from Kari that says,
That Jeep segment gave out pure
big rigs energy.
And congrats on world record earlier!
I guess it's one of those rare good
marathon moments compared to all the
that's never happened before we've heard again and again.
LOL
I really want to see that Wario Land incentive met as well
Keep the support going less than three thank you so much cari that's right we're almost halfway
through to that 7 500 goal so let's make it happen donate towards that incentive.
Okay, so now we're at the submarine that was mentioned in the terminals
and this is the level that has flashing lights
not yet though because the sub isn't sinking so what we are going to do
is actually sink this up and to do that we need to hit this little panel here
for some reason the door is right here and if you're not aware that the objective
is behind you you're just going to run towards your death
because there's two terminators right there.
I'm gonna see if I can glitch out the voice...
No, I didn't. Okay, that's fine.
And now we're stuck in a door
and now the sub's gonna sink and we're stuck in a door. And now the sub's going to sink, and we're stuck in the door.
Whatever is going to happen
on the next level, that's what's going to happen.
Anyway,
the sub is sinking. Oh no!
We're going to get out of here.
We're going to hop in a torpedo tube
there's some blinking lights as mentioned
and then we're just going to try to straight through the blinking lights so we don't have to see
them anymore. And I'm gonna carefully...
Is it carefully? Okay, there we go. I'll get into a little torpedo
tube and I was hoping sometimes you can move
the mouse right before the cut scene happens and
you can have the main character basically go either
flying into the ground or flying into the air
uh i think it's funnier when they fly into the ground or flying into the air i think it's funnier when they fly into the ground
all right so now we're in this server this used to be one of the worst levels
in the game and also used to crash very consistently.
But it looks like there's some updates to DOSBox, because I did notice
when I was trying to download DOSBox
and practice this on my PowerBook
that I use for practicing for Killing Time
there were a few updates for that at least for the mac version so
okay so now we're in the second half of the level.
This is where if I ever reset in a regular run this is
the half that this will normally happen on
Got these hunters? That's the name of them. I don't know what
the name of these are, but they're very
annoying, so I'll just call them
The Annoying Things.
Checked out.
Alright, so I'm going to carefully try
to maneuver around these.
And some nice behavior
right here. So the sewer is filling up with
water, right? And we're going to throw a grenade and then we're going to save
and load. And what do you think's going to happen
with the water? That's right! It's is going to happen with the water that's right it's just
gonna completely disappear nice okay there we go since we saved we have a little bit of
a safety right here because oh oh hi Terminator.
Can you get out of my way please?
Oh okay I see, I understand,
I'll come back later.
Alright so we're gonna hit no
and then we're going to hit load.
There we go.
Try this again okay good
okay that's a little bit better you've still got two more of the annoying things that we can potentially deal with.
There's the one, there is the other. Let's get out of its way.
Oh come on! I'm trying to clip through this
without resorting to the pause buffering,
but it looks like we had a resort today.
And I'm going to save right here because this door likes
to consistently crash at home.
Okay, we didn't crash.
Good.
Hooray!
Woo!
Hooray!
Alright, so we're done with this level. We are just going to strafe out of bounds
So that we can get over to the jeep a little bit faster
And then we get to proceed with the last jeep level of
the game. Alright,
so we're not going to be doing the funny speed up thing just yet
I actually have to play the level a little bit proper
for just a bit if I try to do the Jeep thing now I'm gonna go creating into
whatever that is in the crater all right so Alright, so
I'm just going to get these out of the way
open this garage door. Hopefully don't hit that, that's fine
and now I am quickly let off the keyboard so I can do
that. Alright and then we're just gonna hit A&D so we can get up a little bit
quicker. I don't know why I shot a missile there.
Didn't hurt me, so that's fine.
Alright, now we're just going to line up and do a little
pause buffering here
I think that's enough. I don't want to do it too much because I can actually go way past the objective
So we're looking for two turrets off in the distance. The nuke is being carried on like a vehicle thing, it also turns on a dime which I found very impressive
But were not going to see it because we are all the way up here. Oh there's's our destination! I'm just going to careen into this valley here.
Well done.
Well done.
All right now The only flying level in this specific game... Now if you play Future Shock there's a lot of flying levels and also sometimes those
flying levels will actually bug out and you can actually softlock the game really easily.
Luckily that won't happen in this particular instance,
but we're trying to avoid a dam section in
a little bit farther ahead. I may have to actually just do it because it might be a little
faster. We'll try this one more time.
Oh, no we got
it! Okay, good! Let's go!
And as soon as I can actually see
things above me, you can read
off another donation because i don't
know if i've messed up or not oh no i have
clearly messed up okay let's try that again you can still uh
read off a donation if you want no worries worries, CBCR! You're absolutely killing it!
We have a $25 donation from Arno33200
supporting MSF saying I need your clothes, your boots and your donations.
Good luck on your run TBCR.
Thank you so much for your donation
and we also have a $50
donation from Irons.
I have zero context here so I apologize if I butcher this.
It goes...
Oh no!
I don't know if I did it right, but
that was the angle I was going for. But thank you so much, Irons!
Okay, so I actually have to provide context for this. So Irons
sent me a thing in the mail so Irons I'm not joking when I say this
sent me a thing in the mail that I received
at the hotel today right
playing off my love for the band
Genesis, I love Genesis by the way
they edited a single to have Genesis, by the way.
They edited a single to have droning noise and them hooting an owl
along with reactions to my sub-noise on my Twitch.
It is very bizarre. If you're at the event and would like to listen to it, don't ask me today. Ask me maybe tomorrow.
I want to know how close I was! Fairly close? Where am I? That's very odd. I know we passed the dam, where... okay.
We're in nightmare mode now. Okay.
We are definitely in nightmare mode now. Okay. We are definitely in nightmare mode.
I may have to actually
take an intentional death.
Oh no, this is actually
I did not actually plan for this, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Perfectly honest.
It's kind of very appropriate
that the second attempt at
this game leads to this.
I don't have a save on this level, do I? Does anyone recall
if I actually saved at the beginning of the level because
I'm blanking out.
I did? Oh thank you!
OH!
That is really loud, by the way.
And it only happens on vehicle levels.
That's the thing you have to keep in mind.
It only happens on vehicle levels. And if you quick save and quick load too much, the
game just crashes. Isn't that fun? Okay on. I'm going to do that one more time. I don't know why but it seems like
I am just going way too far.
You know what? I'm gonna do the level intended.
I'm pretty sure I'm at a decent time. Yeah, well within decent time.
And you've got lots of love coming in both in Twitch chat as well as in the donations.
You've got this TBCR all right well since i have to do
the damn section because we're taking too long on this you can probably fire off you know what
five whole donations five hole donations well i'd love to start off with a $100 donation from Dave saying pleasant surprise
to see GDQ on after work.
Keep up the good work.
Yes that's right thank you so much for that generous donation Dave
For Doctors Without Borders and we again are inching closer towards a halfway point
For the upgrade to 100% for Virtual Boy Wario Land by Swordsman Kirby, going from any percent
to a hundred percent.
Remember you have to put those donations towards that incentive with that add incentive button.
Do not let that pass by because we want to see that incentive button. Do not let that pass by,
because we want to see that incentive met.
We have another donation of $50 from GLaDOS
that says I love Skynet.
Thank you so much for the support of your fellow robotic friends, GLaDOS.
Thank you thank you for supporting MSF.
Okay, if we did that strat correctly,
We were supposed to end up right here.
We were gonna fly under the water and whatnot
Sneak past all of the robots and whatnot
But you know...we didn't
Well, we can pretend we did but we didn't
But we are on the last level i will say that that is true that is actually true and it's
rather straightforward so we're gonna fall and hopefully not die okay we didn't die we're going
to reload all damage negated okay there we go i'm going to go into this door
and we're going to run into this and then not take any damage from the explosion because
why not damage is optional damage is optional in Bethesda games!
Alright, so here we go.
Now I'm gonna try to jump onto this ledge
and then I need to save
before I uh
go for the final hover,
because I haven't actually mentioned this.
Stray movement is actually tied to specific degrees
on the mouse also time.
Chi chi! Time. Chi-chi!
Alright, other than the one slip up on the flying level that wasn't
that bad at all. Like, the sewer
level I was actually expecting to have a little bit of trouble
but yeah, the flying part,
that needs some work, but you know.
You still did great, TBCR.
Any specific shoutouts related to the Termator sky net i know that we have you
coming right up next with killing time but anything you'd like to share well as always albert hammock
was the one that kind of introduced the game to me.
So yeah, hi Albert I know you're watching this, hi!
And really the people that are actually in the audience
that I've been hanging out with this week.
Hi there!
But yeah, as mentioned
it's a double feature so if
let's say Windows or DOS
games may not be your fancy how about a Macintosh game?
Ooh. Maybe we have
one of those. What do you think?
I think we may, and I mean, I think
we may also have some Windows lovers
and some Mac lovers out there as the pretty good too i'd love to hear
you know which one has more love in the donation comments let's see what happens
i can't wait for the uh the random amiga comment listen i love. The Amiga is a neat machine.
Excellent! Well great job TBCR
Thank you so much. Yep and I'll see ya in a bit Wow, who knew that Jeeps could move just like that?
Ah, TVCR thank you so much for that wonderful 80% run of the Terminator Skynet.
I'd love to go and share a $50 donation from MajorDB saying,
What a great run by TBCR!
Thank you for all what you do at gdq
for someone who grew up on many of these games it warms my heart to watch
and donate i love you all.
MajorDB, thank you so much for your donation supporting Doctors Without Borders.
We're going to go ahead and give
TBCR a little bit of a stretch break
while we swap and get ready for Killing Time.
We will be right back with more speed running action in just a little
bit All of these donations have been going towards Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières.
They are an independent international organization that provides emergency medical care to the people who
need it most. MSF cares for people affected by conflict, disease outbreaks
disasters and social exclusion in more than 70 countries.
MSF offers medical humanitarian assistance solely based on need,
regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or politics.
MSF teams include medical, logistical
and administrative staff, most of them hired locally
Their actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles
of independence impartiality
and neutrality. To learn more please visit
DoctorsWithoutBorders.org
This organization has done so much
over the years.
Your help and donations can help MSF respond at a moment's notice.
Over 90% of MSF doctors, nurses, and logisticians work in their home countries.
When disaster strikes like the war in Ukraine or earthquakes in Syria
these local teams are already on the ground.
Constant communication with these teams
means MSF can even help
prevent crises before
they happen.
And since
the escalation of violence in Gaza after the October 2023 attack on Israel, MSF has been on the ground providing critical care pivoting and scaling existing programs as humanitarian crisis evolves in Palestine.
MSF staff have been working in Gaza's hospitals and clinics throughout the current conflict.
Our teams provide a range of essential medical services including surgical care wound and burn care postpartum care
physiotherapy mental health support vaccination and outpatient consultations.
MSF has delivered about 200 tons of medical supplies each month, including medicines, surgical kits, logistical items, and humanitarian aid. As of mid-March 2024,
we've brought in 53 trucks
carrying essential supplies.
However it's been extremely difficult
to get supplies into Gaza
due to administrative barriers, movement restrictions
and the lack of options for crossings.
Our teams in Egypt are ready
to send more medical supplies into Gaza
if allowed to do so safely.
Everybody, these donations absolutely matter for Doctors Without Borders.
No donation is too small. So please get those donations in,
in support of such a wonderful charity. If you are just joining us, you're watching Summer Games Done Quick live here in Minneapolis,

Thanks for keeping me company as I start my work day.
Also, shout out to my brother who first got me into gaming by kicking
my butt on our N64! Love you!
Aw Rogue, thank you so much for that generous donation.
In all honesty like when I was growing up
I'm the older brother and
I definitely kicked my younger brothers butt
So Josh if you are watching
you deserved it.
I'm joking. Love you bro.
We also have $25
from Retro that says
WAH!
I have a feeling I'm going to say that a lot. But

of incentive love, I

the chip meter? We've been seeing
super silly animations all marathon long.
We have $100 from Christian Tralvik saying, first time donating figured I should do it when it is such an important charity. Christian, I cannot agree more.
Doctors Without Borders does so much hard work to be able

face red tape and limits on
whom they can help. Your gift safeguards
their independence, and allows

not ready for it in the audience.
We'll do it one more time.
SGDQ hype!
That's what I love to hear,
and thank you so much
for that generous $10 donation, Tasty Waffles.
Thank you, thank you thank you I just want to again give huge props
To all of the runners including TPCR
Who's doing this double feature here
Absolutely fantastic.
Being able to do two runs,
two different kinds of games,
two different platforms
definitely takes talent so thank you so so much
for all of your support
for our runners.
Let's get those donations in.
Let's get that love in.
Alright, so...
Earlier I said,
let's get some Mac lovers in the donations.
Let's get some Windows lovers
in the donations and you know
like
well
anyway after killing Well, anyway.
After Killing Time is Star Wars The Force Unleashed
and that's a really short run. Another Express Lane style
run by Lifelike.
Any percent will fly by.
Chat, I want you to send in your donations
with which Star Wars
you think was the best star wars and we may get some purists
out there that are saying all right only only those three you may get some people
who have the extension of the additional episodes. You may even get some people
who consider all of
the other added content.
Donors, I want to hear
your Star Wars love because I'm not going to be able
to fit all of it in during Lifelike's run.
So let's get this in early.
I think we should. And
as you're getting that love in, do not
forget to put it towards an incentive!
We are almost three-fifths of the way to that 7 500 goal for virtual boy wario land upgrading to 100 you know you want to see it you know you want to see it. You know you want to support an amazing
cause. Let's make that happen.
...... I'm going to go ahead and start the game.
We got a surprisingly amount of Spaceballs love in the chat.
Just gonna say, I should have seen it coming.

I'm sorry I didn't make it for SkyNet TBCR, but I'm all here for Killing Time Run and excited to see the culmination of the hours of dedication and pain.
Mostly pain spent in the practice room. You got this!
We also have $50 from Uzi saying,
Love you GDQ! What a perfect way to start my day.
Thank you so much for that generous donation supporting Doctors Without Borders and putting that towards the
incentive.
We're seeing that creep ever closer to that $7,500 goal!
I wanna see these numbers go up-pies!
Let's make it happen!
Ooh, we
finally got somebody for some operating
system love in the donations.
$25 from Austin
that says, where's the love for open source software?
It's the year of the Linux
desktop after all.
Indeed, Austin.
Very appropriately placed love there.
Beef, you do indeed know that host hello i see you all in chat
and i see a lot of doritos. You feeling that meter?
We got $10 from GiantCrow
That says, Best Star Wars is Clone Wars
No questions asked.
Ooh, that's a...
That's pretty compelling there.
I don't know if anyone can contest your giant crow
but thank you so much for your donation.
In fact it is honestly the only donation that's come about this
So i guess it has to be the truth now. Clone Wars is
The best Star Wars. I guess that's it, it's done.
Nope, chat, no, it's
done.
I have no further evidence
to be able to share. I guess I could get
evidence if there are some donations put towards this virtual boy
wario land 100 run and of course supporting men's on frontier
i think we can make it happen.
I'd love to see the debate. Oh, $25
from Arcade Blob saying my favorite Star Wars
The Last Jedi, Clone Wars, Rebels
and Andor. I have a soft spot for the prequels too!
Good luck to all the runners less than three! Arcade Blob...I don't know if you understood
the assignment but i appreciate the love nonetheless and the unwavering support for Doctors Without Borders.
Thank you so, so much! That's right...
that's right it is time to get those donations in
We have $50 from Red Apple saying,
my favorite piece of Star Wars media
is the Jedi Apprentice books by Jude Watson.
Less than three.
Grew up reading those and they still have
a huge soft spot in my
heart. Ah, Red Apple, indeed.
Whether you consume your Star
Wars visually
or through the books
or through any other kind of media
it is definitely
an awesome series to enjoy
thank you so much for bringing that up
lots of ways
lots of ways to be able to enjoy
jason larose i see you.
I got my eyes on chat here, I have to sort through these Dorito chips

the most important step
because they're actually all important The donation is probably the most important step, because they're actually all important. The donation is probably
the most important step. But an important step is clicking that add incentive
button so that we could be officially at 60%
of reaching that $7,500
goal. 4,500 out of 7,500
means that 3,000 left to
go for that Virtual Boy Wario
Land and it's going to happen
in just a couple of runs we need that incentive met otherwise
it's going to be an any percent run by swordsman kirby it's still going to be awesome

If you're just joining us, you are of course watching
Summer Games Done Quick
live here in Minneapolis, Minnesota supporting and raising money for Doctors Without Borders.
We've raised over $300,000 and it's just Tuesday morning! Y'all are
absolutely crushing it. Just like
I know, I can believe in you CRUSHING
this upgrade to 100%
incentive for Wario Land
on the Virtual Boy by Swordsman Kirby coming up in just a little bit We've got $20 from Geffen saying,
looking forward to the Force Unleashed run.
Yub nub!
And folks what I just want to let you know is
we are going to get that
Force Unleashed unleashed here on the stage in just a little bit while we go ahead and
do a little bit of shuffling here but it is going to be awesome gaming nonetheless
oh we got some more operating system love 20
from anonymous saying steam os anyone anyone M.O.S., anyone? Anyone?
Ooh, we have a $5 donation from Sparrow
saying, best Star Wars
is that one game with the lego people who have lightsabers
you are correct
all right so All right. So we are going to be going to killing time after Star Wars,
The Force Unleashed.
Lifelike is ready, set and ready to go
let's go for that any percent of star wars the force unleashed let's take it away way
all right hello everybody uh my name is lifelike and i'm here to run star wars the force unleashed in any percent that's a little bit of a special moment for me
as this was the first game that I ever speed ran,
so it's nice to actually get it up here on the DDQ stage.
Got a couple of friends on the couch behind me
if you'd like to introduce yourselves? I'm Rip Chip, I run a couple of friends on the couch behind me if you'd like to introduce yourselves.
I'm Rip Chip, I run a couple other Star Wars games
And I'm Dangerous, most well known for my participation in the Alan Wake 2 flash mob last night
He was a very good job.
Alright, so let's go ahead
and get this run started. I'm going to start a new
file. Going to play on the easiest difficulty
just because there are a few places in the run where I'm going to play on the easiest difficulty just because there are a few places in the run where I'm gonna have to
uh, just deliberately take damage and hopefully be able to ignore it
And if I play on higher difficulties that doesn't really work so
Alright. Yeah, everybody's ready? I think we can start in 3...2...1...GO!
Good luck.
GLHF
And so you get the famous Star Wars opening crawl.
This is one of the pre-rendered cutscenes in the game, and all of the pre-rendered cutscenes are skippable
except that they're covering up loading screens
So I'm stuck watching it for at least a little bit until the game's
unloading. Skip-able until they're on skip-able...
or wait, I said that backwards.
Also just want to say whoever said the Clone Wars was the best Star Wars your opinion is incredibly valid.
There's a conflicting opinion in our donations, if I can read it.
Sure.
It is $25 from Queen Luigi saying,
woke up from a dead sleep to say Andor
is the best Star Wars.
You cannot convince me I am wrong.
That's pretty compelling there.
May I read another?
Sure.
We have $5 from Sporadic Erratic saying,
Best Star Wars is the new animated series
Star Wars Visions!
I was really blown away by how beautiful
some of the episodes are.
Thank you so much, SC, for that
wonderful donation to Doctors
Without Borders.
I didn't realize how long this crawl was.
There's a reason it's called
a crawl.
Let's continue getting those Star Wars opinions in.
We're seeing that Star Wars love
as Lifelike gets into
this awesome 80% run.
This 80% crawl.
Usually it doesn't take this long to skip, but...
I'm trying though, you can see the little glory symbol in the bottom right.
At least this gives everyone who is watching a little bit of clue on what the story is.
Yeah, I mean not a lot of people know about this franchise so it's good for them to kind
of see what it looks like.
And it takes time to read it too that's true yeah
especially because it's angled as well yeah
i mean it's the same plot i guess is any star wars game i mean start or john
star wars is trying to stop the bad guys and
yeah. And then he
Star Wars' everywhere
I'm actually really surprised it's taking this long
Yeah, usually doesn't make it past the uh the text scroll
i will say we have a common opinion here from arthur fifty dollars supporting msf
saying clone wars is indeed the best Star Wars.
So, indeed, it is now continuing on with the Clone Wars love
and we're over $5,000 for that Wario Land 100% incentive.
Let's go!
Let's go!
Am I basic for just saying Empire Strikes Back?
No, is there a great opinion?
Well, I feel like it's the basic opinion.
Like oh yeah of course you say Empire is everyone says that
It's just a good movie
It IS a good movie
Well the good news is we're getting to see more of this cutscene.
Alright there we go!
Okay so here we are into the tutorial level of the game where we're playing as Darth Vader
His normal movement is this really slow
menacing walk, but
we want to go faster so I'm going to spam jump
which... Oh second row!
I've always just found it kind of funny seeing Darth Vader hopping around like he's...he's just so happy!
And there he goes, he's unleashing the Force right there, roll the credits.
He has been unleashed.
Unleashed all over that door.
I guess this would probably be a good time to talk about the myriad of different physics engines
they have incorporated into this title.
Right, so one of the advertising
points of this game when it was about
to come out is that it runs at least
three different physics engines kind of all
at once. There's one for biological materials like these plants
that will sway around back and forth, they bend and go back to normal but also wood
will splinter. There is another one that handles metal, so the metal will bend and then stay in
the position it was bent to. And then a third one for glass that lets it shatter.
And here's one for wood splintering.
That is...
It's truly unleashing the force! We've seen the force unleash
like three times already
Uh-oh a little block there. So fun fact lookies do not know how to ride elevators. Oh!
Just got a little tummy ache.
That was my best impression, I can't do any better than that, I'm sorry.
I think you did pretty good, honestly.
Thank you, I tried my best.
So another thing I should probably mention
this is the PC version of this game
which is the same as Xbox 360
and PlayStation 3 The game is also out on PlayStation 2 and Wii with
its other version, and that version has also somewhat recently ported to the Switch
so I imagine most people are probably more familiar with that version.
There's also a version on the DS and another version
on the PSP and yet another version on iOS and N-Gage
if anybody remembers the N-Gage. What is this?
Skyrim?
Alright, we got the first real fight coming up.
This is the first boss
fight. There is a strat to try and keep him stomached for the entire
fight, which I'll try to do here. If he gets an opportunity to attack, he puts a bubble
up around himself and is completely invincible as long
as it's there that usually loses about seven to eight seconds each time it
happens
yeah so you'll see the combo he's doing here is actually a three-hit combo.
But he's basically canceling the third hit with...
I think it's block in order to basically chain that attack over and over again
because the third hit is very slow
and it will make it so that he can possibly
recover do the thing you got it right I was a little bit harder than it looks
especially with the lag between each hit you're seeing.
And so at the end of every boss fight has a quick time event, because this game came
out in 2008.
That was the era of QTEs.
Get him!
I'm not gonna lie, that's actually super cool.
Quite the... uh the perukin. All right, so this is putting us into the second tutorial which is just called The Grip Tutorial but this is the first one at which I have access to the Mission Select
menu and this is important to the mission select menu. And this is important
for the Any% run, so for a while in the Any%
we would just when we reached that tutorial pick the first level here and go
to it and then skip tutorial, save about 20 seconds.
That was pretty nice until we found out if we
select that this menu behind it with all
of the levels locked's still active right after I click
accept here. So if I spam down on the d-pad, that is going to select a different level
after I tell it to load a level,
and that's going to load the level that I have selected instead of the one
that I'm on.
And that's gonna skip pretty much
the entire game.
You can just barely hear
the menuing going on
as the screen goes to black.
That was a good one, we just skipped
a little bit over half of the game with that one.
I'll have to repeat it once but that will get us to the end.
As you say, you skipped more than you did
in the practice room, I remember.
It varies a lot from machine to machine.
It just kind of depends on how fast it loads.
So realistically, he's only going to be playing
the first and last levels.
First, just to open up mission select and last one to
roll credits truly harnessing the power of the dark side also means he's going to be
going into the final level uh grossly underpowered so if you like sl1 runs from dark souls uh here
you go it also means we're gonna see a bunch of cut scenes and not know what the heck is actually
that's what the initial crawl was all for though right right? Oh! We didn't read the crawl.
That's true but the initial crawl didn't mention anything about a blind guy sitting behind us.
It also didn't mention the menu glitch.
I feel like they should have included that there.
If you know what's going on,
feel free to make a donation comment telling us
what's going on. Wrong answers only!
Alrighty he is about to do it again
Just doing the switch again and then we'll have to be watching a cut
scene this is uh probably a good opportunity for donations absolutely i bumped around button
it's okay let's watch this one again you got time go for go for it. Okay, we have $10
from FlimBob84
saying the best Star Wars?
Obviously,
it's The Christmas Special.
But Clone Wars
is a good close second,
I guess.
We also have $10 from DrZomGPhD saying
I've got fond memories playing TFU on multiple platforms
but the PC and 360 versions were canon at the time.
Love to see it get destroyed! Good luck to The Runner
And by the way, the best Star Wars is Rogue One followed by Clone Wars
I see you!
Is there anybody out there that is a fan
of following actors and voice acting?
That is Sam Witwer,
the main character
The man himself.
Vader won't risk my mission even if he has
bouncing balls.
He voice acted the
character, did motion capture and facial
capture so pretty much all of the other
major characters in the game.
We stan Sam Witwer. all the other major characters in the game we stand sam whitworth yes
time for more donations you can probably get a couple more all right 25 from raza
supporting msf saying any love for star wars One? Best of luck lifelike.
And shoutouts to my boy Ripchimp on the couch, Mr. Psycho Ripper himself!
Thank you so much for your support, Razza.
We also have $250 Thank you so much for your support, Raza.
We also have $250!
An anonymous donor saying
So glad I caught the Force Unleashed run
GLHF. Thank you so much, and that
got you entered in for those grand
prizes with a $250
donation all in one fell swoop!
Great job.
We've got $5 from Daedalus saying, Heir to the Empire is the best Star Wars.
That's actually a very good take.
I'd never even heard of that one.
It was like the original Thrawn trilogy
of books, right? Oh wow!
Yeah, that's going way back.
We also have $5 from Mint
saying Best Star Wars was the ewoks cartoon from the 80s
i'm loving these this is great
we got ten dollars from Kona saying,
I wholeheartedly agree with the person loving Andor.
It is the best Star Wars and we are correct.
I just heard like dope in the background.
So guys, what's your least favorite Star wars movie ooh um would everybody hate me if i said the clone
bringing the ire of chats and the donors. I will say phantom menace is a close second
But I still don't like Clone Wars
We're talking about cool more z animated series not Attack of the Clones episode
two right?
Uh...
Danger.
Because if it's episode 2 absolutely that movie is the worst hands down.
Yeah, well I haven't watched The clone wars because i haven't had access to
it in many years so um i'm gonna say yes episode two attack of the clones is
the worst one out of all of the movies yeah Or perhaps you could consider this $5 donation from Anonymous that says
The best Star Wars is Knights of the Old Republic 2 with cut content modded back in.
That's a a good one.
It's a great take, actually.
We got a wrong answer inside the donation
if we'd like to go over that.
$50 from RoboChuck says the plot of this game is obviously that kyle cart pattern
was training marriage aid and he fell to the dark side it's just back that's the plot
okay we're finally back into the game.
The targeting in this game is a little finicky sometimes
it's depending on where my character is facing
so i don't these guys are being relentless
this is why we do easy difficulty for this for this run
easy oh no you got this like i'm just gonna go ahead and do a little research probably
a good call all good not that one would uh would a pun help power you up?
That depends, but go ahead.
Here we go! It's $10 from Ella saying
What do you call a Sith Lord going up and down?
Oh no...
An Elevator down an elevator I love it keep it coming
the second time there we go. Good job!
Yeah, so where exactly are we right now?
Right now we're inside the Death Star and there's a little voice line telling me to find a hiding place whenever the laser is firing
Directly next to the laser is a good hiding place whenever the laser is firing.
Directly next to the laser is a good hiding place.
I mean, if I walk into it, I'll die
instantly. Makes sense that
laser can destroy entire planets.
I don't think our protagonist could survive that
and I don't care how strong he is you're forgetting plot armor
that's true there was another example of Star Wars' famous lack of railings.
He's going into these side rooms to grab points and experience
to get some upgrades, because he's going to grab a couple of moves going into
the last segment because there are two fights that we can't skip yeah it's kind of convenient
that these items are just laying around so we can level up
just enough to make this a little bit faster.
We're skipping most of the game, so no matter what, it's going to be fast but having just
a little bit of extra stuff is nice.
Yeah, what did the run used to be before menu glitch?
It was like an hour and 40 or something like that.
And now it's... A little under
an hour. A little under an hour? Yeah, and now it's like
15 minutes because you can just skip everything.
Should also be mentioned he used a health drain aura there
just to help tank damage
and absorb more health
and take care of the enemies
while he was lifting that door up.
Right, so the health drain aura
kills some of those enemies
which is good for getting me more experience
towards leveling up and it helps keep me alive since
those guys have flamethrowers and I'd probably die if I didn't have them.
If you got hit at the wrong angle that would actually knock him into
turret range and kill him instantly so
that's that's fun i'm doing really good on experience right now so that's good one more thing
here Good. Let's grab one more thing here.
You have everything you need at this point.
I hit a checkpoint and now I'm going to change my costume because
this is actually the fastest way
to reload a checkpoint,
because we only have to go into one menu.
The normal way to reload a checkpoint
I'd have to go to Mission Select, scroll all the way down
to this level then select Rel last checkpoint.
It's just faster to change costume.
You know, usually when a person says
oh I've got to change my wardrobe really quick
you know it's like
Oh we are never getting to this dinner!
So here at that level up,
I'm going to unlock Dash and Blast
which you just use there to hit this cutscene trigger.
The big
reason that I reloaded that checkpoint is because
the laser fires on a cycle, and
reloading the checkpoint goes back to the beginning
of that cycle, which means that I'm perfectly
set up to get across this room with that
level-up. And then I'm going to
do the costume change one more time
during that checkpoint again and let's uh find something nice yes There we go.
I just need to do that jump again across this next room, and this is the most agile of C-3PO's ever done.
Yeah it's going to be so weird seeing him having actual fluid movement.
There is something very unsettling about watching C-3PO run through the Death Star with a lightsaber in hand. The guy is like, yeah I got your protocol right here
I had to do a little bit of
specific force management in there.
So my Force Meter is that blue bar on the top left, and I overused it when
came into this room just because I know it will refill during this cutscene.
Good time to sneak in a quick donation.
You can probably get one in.
$50 from Madsen saying, as a huge fan let me just say that the correct answer
to the best Star Wars is The Wrath of Khan.
Worth it, right?
Sure.
Alright.
I like getting bullied a little bit here. So he's trying to destroy these because
too or not just try to push them in yeah i have
to move that thing see if these elevators open up
it's interesting because i feel like atSTs are in so many Star Wars games, but
I've never seen them be that aggressive with their blasters.
They were very aggressive right there.
So it's dashing blast and he's going to hit this other cutscene trigger
And hitting that is going to hit this other cutscene trigger.
And hitting that is going to place me directly onto
this upper platform when it ends.
And so coming up right here is not exactly a boss fight
more of a mini-boss with the Shadow
Guard and these other four guys.
These guys do not play nice.
They get in the way and this fight can go a couple different ways hopefully it goes well.
Yeah another health trainer to help out with the fight but uh
The health trainer is going to do most of the work for this fight like you see two
these guys are already done
There goes the third one
These lag spikes on everything, they're just so funny to me
There you go. All told that went really well actually
He's attacking? oh there he is
How did you get over there?
So we're going to do this throw just because it knocks him onto the ground
We're gonna do that stab cause it does the most damage of any attack
and down, and then a quick time event to finish it
See 3PO Savage.
This is the new Park Hall.
So with that level up and grabbing one more little upgrade thing, we're gonna do the last bit of leveling up.
And it's Saber Slam there, and two points into Sabermastery. So Saberslam is an attack that can pretty reliably at least
stun the next boss,
and Saber Mastery increases the amount of damage
that my lightsaber does.
Yeah again we're very under leveled
so just about anything we can do to make
the rest of the game faster and more doable is better
we're essentially finishing this game with the bare minimum that we can get away with tortured you will give me the names of your
friends
good to see get some donations sure all
right we have five dollars from alyssa
saying
dangerous is having some dangerous opinions
on the Star Wars trilogy.
I'll see myself out.
Alyssa, thank you so much
for that groundbreaking pun.
We also have $5 from Matt saying
the best Star Wars is Dark
Forces. That is an incredibly
good answer. That IS a good answer, yeah.
Alright! I'm not biased on that at all.
Oh you mean the guy who speedruns Dark Forces
likes dark forces?
Can you believe that?
Unreal!
We also have five dollars from a zombie saying the best Star Wars movie is episode 3.
But the Chinese release with their English dub, specifically the line
The geography of my situation is superior to yours.
Alrighty, so now we're fighting Darth Vader.
But weren't we playing as Darth Vader in the beginning?
Well, you know...
Am I how the turns have tabled?
Yeah. Something like that.
So, I've noticed one of the annoying things about this fight.
He's not playing nice right now.
Yeah, when I did that stab on him on the ground before it didn't do any damage at all because that can just happen sometimes in this fight.
Got a lot of enemies having random iframes.
Yeah, so now it's going to phase 2
I'm gonna try and skip phase 3
So that I can do enough damage in phase
two. It starts the quick time event just immediately.
Or you could go to phase three.
Stun locking him right here and hoping that he doesn't regain his poise oh darn
it's a tricky strat to pull off, so it's understandable why that went on Earth.
So the main time save is just not having to watch
that little scene where it goes into Phase 3?
Luckily in Phase 3 is a lot like phase 1 and it should be over now.
Get ready on time
Not quite yet. Well, soon!
Aren't we always just ready for a time at any point
or they saw a c3po this yeah this fight's not canon for anyone
out there oh it's absolutely canon for me.
Yeah, so you can
decide which ending you can get
from here. There's
two different fights you can do. You can go fight the Emperor for a good ending,
or you could fight Vader for bad ending.
Fighting the emperor in a good fight is something like
a minute and half,
and then fighting Vader... Like an average fight is like a minute and a half, and then fighting Vader
like an average fight
is like a minute.
So it's obviously
faster to fight Vader
so we fight Vader.
The only downside
with Vader
is there's a little bit
more chance
for things
to go
a little bit more random, but either way it's still better
to take that chance and save some time.
So I'm using an older strap for this fight just because I find it funny to fling
him across the room like that
all right so now we're on the final quick time event so times coming up pretty soon
you just have to hit b then be than x and when i hit X it will be time.
And And time
GEE GEES!
Nicely done
That was the 80% run for Star Wars The Force Unleashed.
A lot shorter than it used to be.
Yeah, that opening cutscene crawl eating up so much time.
It usually goes faster
and uh that is about it for me i just want to give a couple of shout outs
one two street back, he made the load remover for this game on PC which is really
nice for doing runs. Just other runners in general
GlitchHunter named Findlestick found a lot of the tricks that we use, not quite
the menu glitch that was accidentally found by a runner called Pestilus and then made consistent
by another glitch hunter called HotshotWire.
You guys have anything to add?
No, just keep supporting GQ,
keep donating to MSF
and thank you all very much for watching!
Thank you for having me
gg lifelike thank you so much for stepping in with that Star Wars The Force Unleashed any percent run.
We are getting the finishing touches on The Killing Time.
Good ending run by TBCR coming back for that second part of the double feature we're just going to go ahead and take a quick break so don't
go away, we're gonna be welcoming TBCR back in just a couple of minutes.
We saw lots of Star Wars love out there,
Just really quick before we depart I want to share $10 from Sutton with a space and two exclamation points so I get Sutton! Maybe. Says the the bad batch is my absolute favorite piece of star wars
media to grace this earth found family is my weakness and i've never been so emotional
over a group of clones. Long live tech!
Oh, and good luck to lifelike colon D. Thank you so
much for that generous donation Sutton supporting Doctors Without Borders.
We had some more Episode 3 love with $10
from Speckwee saying,
big fan of this game. Turns out my
two favorite games are Sonic Unleashed and The Force Unleashed.
Good luck on the run, best Star Wars movie is episode 3 I'm so sorry!
Thank you so much for that generous donation, Speckle.
We have $32 from another Walther saying I think all of the fans out there can agree on a couple of things.
The best fiction is science fiction,
the best games are done quick,
and the best doctors are without borders.
Lesson three.
Thank you so much for your $32 donation, another Walther
And indeed we are raising money for Doctors Without Borders
Médecins Sans Frontières who do so much work to provide humanitarian aid
to those that need it. And all of our generosity and support
goes over to them and their teams
We have a $50 donation from Peanut Octagon that says,
I'll say Solo was one of the Star Wars movies
of all time.
Much love for Return of the Jedi
and the Ewoks.
We also had $10 from Karusi saying,
Y'all clearly the best Star Wars is the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Convince me otherwise.
There is so much love for all the different Star Wars out there.
We also had a $100 donation from Silent Luvia saying,
love the vibes of the Force Unleashed speedrun
and the bunny hopping Darth Vader will certainly be hard to forget.
Also, The Clone Wars clearly is coming soon. Bunny hopping Darth Vader will certainly be hard to forget.
Also, The Clone Wars clearly is the superior series.
Thank you so much for your generous donation
and for playing along in the war of these star wars
and all this money supporting doctors without borders. And if you're just joining us once again,
You are watching Summer Games Done Quick live here in Minneapolis.
My name is J.D. Puppy, I am your host.
Excited to introduce the returning TBCR
who will be showcasing Killing Time Good Ending.
Let's take it away!
Hello again, 640 by 480 at 72 hertz here with killing time for the Apple Macintosh.
That's right there is an actual Macintosh right here it's my PowerBook G4 we had
the uh...
PowerBook not the PowerBook the Mac Mini
G4 my personal Mac mini G4, my personal
Mac Mini G4. It was having some issues but we got it working on the PowerBook
I'm sorry it took a bit but this is an FPS, well it's a collect-a-thon
disguised as an FPS.
You'll see what I mean.
It was originally released for the 3DO,
it was later released for the Windows and for the Macintosh
And this is running on OS X.
There's a patch for that.
Anyway, I need to make a clarification
for what good ending means. Now fun fact
you don't actually have the CD for the game in the Mac
to play the game. All you need is the data
file and the executable.
So we're not actually going to be seeing
any of the cutscenes nor the ending, but
I will tell you this, it's basically
we need to kill the boss. That's how good ending is determined uh but we won't
see them for about half an hour anyway uh we're a little bit behind because of things so let's
get right into run you're in for our treat so anyway we are going to start this run in 3-2-1 go!
Go!
Alright now you may notice that my camera is pointed down at
my hand. So this game...well, this run is primarily
mouse-based. Oh boy! And I'm going to be continually
moving the mouse more or less for the next half hour.
I like to nickname this game Killing My Hands in Due Time
because yeah, this run is absolutely brutal
During practice this week, I managed to world record four different times. Unfortunately none of them were recorded. Maybe we'll get it tonight. Maybe me saying that's kind of ruining the potential for that but you know what there's still the
potential for it so just have good hopes in your uh
and your spirits and whatnot maybe we'll get it
but i need to actually explain the plot to the game don't i
so you are a former archaeological student
uh you're on an island off the coast of maine maternicus island and there's this social lightning
test conway she was having a party she's very fascinated very fascinated with Egyptian water clocks and one day there
were seven water clocks on the island, and everyone vanished. And poor Tess, she is in
pieces literally. So you have to find her across the island along with
the keys to the various sections of the island and then you can defeat the big
bad I wonder who the big bed'll keep you guessing but anyway we're
gonna be strafing here i'm using the w and no yeah the wa nd keys to lock
in movement we have a fun jump coming up hopefully
only uh hopefully i was going to get it first try, but nope.
Enjoy the screaming
in the meantime.
Oh! Almost got it.
Oh come on!
See the problem is you gotta move before you jump and it's actually really easy, okay that's good enough
First try!
Alright so you may
saw there were hornets there. Us
doing that jump is actually to avoid getting
caught with the hornets because they can actually drain our health
rather quick. They're not
the most annoying enemy in the game, if you could believe that.
Their special friend The Beetle is the worst enemy in this game and you'll see why.
We won't see them for about 15, 20 minutes.
But in the meantime we need to get
the first of the vessels.
Now the vessels do have power-ups to them.
One in particular gives me 200 health
I'm gonna try not use that
it is basically a
in case of emergency break glass power up now we got
to not turn the sound off and then jump back to the other side here and we're gonna have to
backtrack to the mansion that you may have saw a little bit earlier.
And as soon as I can get past this level
transition here, you can read off
the donation because yeah there's a lot of
backtracking in this game but with the mouse movement
it doesn't take too long.
All right, you're good for a donation.
Awesome!
We've got $25 from Setra Blue saying
gotta get that Virtual Boy Wario Land to 100%.
Just recently played it over Christmas break and is legitimately one of the best Wario Land games.
Can't wait to see Swordsman Kirby blast through it!
Folks we are just over $500 away from beating that incentive!
Chat viewers I know that we
can do it let's get that incentive let's go alright so we're back at the manor
sorry had to pick up my RFCVP earlier,
you may have saw me do that and
that lets us into here so we got
the first vessel just because it was around
that area anyway
And now we have to hit four fun switches
while dealing with the maids here
Now the ones dressed in white
are just going to run up to me and start trying to clobber me
but the ones in black they won't attack me unless I am directly shooting
in their line of sight.
So we're going to try to avoid that as much as we can, and hopefully
we'll get into an instance where they'll start
infighting with these cockroaches here. These are
very annoying, and they throw...
I don't know what it is but they throw
it at me and it kind of deals a decent bit of damage and they can quickly drain
my health down if they all decide to gang up on me at the same time actually
hitting in the second one I'm going to make a safety safe here now
I should talk about the health pickups oh you're gonna love it they're orbs
there are two though there's three main types There is the blue one which gives me health a random amount.
The red one which drains my health.
Isn't that fun?
And a yellow one which we're actually going to try to get at the moment.
I'm making a safety save here. probably the worst idea but we'll see
if that is correct or not okay got the health
I have to hit these switches dead on by the way fun fact and oh yeah the values that it gives are in takes away or random except for the
the yellow one that is always going to be 50 health there is an urn
a little bit later on that i can pick up that will give me 200 health.
But, that's about halfway through
the run. I am at 3 health. Let us save.
Alright.
So...
Okay.
I seem to have jumped off the area.
Oh, thank you!
Okay let's try that again.
Now I'm gonna go get another
key and if you want to read off a donation while I do this.
Yeah absolutely! We've got $25 from Taxodium that says
Hey teams! Greetings from the audience. Good luck on the run and kill that hand
I mean time world record maybe maybe so you may have also noticed
something with the health at the bottom i still don't understand how it works
but sometimes when you exit an area with a certain amount of health and
you go into another area and you leave the area with a different health but
your right back into the area you came in I just may sound like confusing
but you revert back to the health you were
at so if I'm say it oh I don't know three health leaving an
area uh I'm gonna be at three health going
back into the area whether I want to or not so no pressure no pressure at all right so i'm gonna have
to get rid of these maids unfortunately they're in the way but that leads us to the wine cellar
and we'll do a neat little jump right here,
we're going to hit this to make it a little bit easier
and...
Got it!
So now we are going to go into the maze.
And the maze is quite simple, it's 2-1 and 1
and then one two three four
up here
and do two and this lets us get to the Ankh, which is basically
this game's equivalency of the BFG.
There are only two that we're actually going to pick up during the whole run.
We're going to use one of them in
the pit, and the other one
is near the end of the run.
Now, there's this cave system that's a little bit easy to get lost in.
Trust me, I got lost during practice.
But we got through it relatively unscathed.
And now we're going to get into the sewer.
Now, I'm going to be hopping up and down a lot which may constitute as flashing. I have no idea
but it may cause headaches for some people so just a bit of a heads
up. Also this is going to get very rambunctious
with the audio there's gonna be a lot of sounds going on and if you have auditory
processing issues like i do oh you're in for fun
so let's see we even get through this without causing either of those to a significant degree come on they got mixed up for just a bit.
Trust me, we only have one more specific section with us left to do.
We gotta out of sequence rick in a little bit. First we gotta do a little bit first we gotta get out
of here i gotta go even lower into the sewer
all right now good
i'm gonna get my flamethrower out now
I need to try to minimize the use of the flamethrower in the run because I actually used a flamethrower to quick kill the final boss
Well got some health loss that's fine
At 57 it's not the worst thing ever.
All right now we're going to head over
to this little alcove island thing, whatever it's called.
I don't know proper term for it.
And we're going to do the sequence break now,
The first time I ever ran this game in a marathon
I spent 20 minutes unironically trying
To get this because I was new
To the game obviously and I was also playing
It on an iMac G5 that was like 20 feet above me.
But, let's see if we can get this...
Now what I'm trying to do is crossing a trigger
That lowers it down and by getting it
Like that We save about 20 minutes so pretty good
all right so now we're gonna head downstairs and
we got to deal with the bones don Don't rattle the bones, though.
Oh, come on.
Good. Trying to squeeze through them. Sometimes the hitboxes are a little
bit smaller than the model or the sprite that they're on, which means we can just swoosh right in.
There we go.
Good! Alright so we're through with that now were gonna head back through the sewer
and before you actually get into
the core sewer part if you wanna read off a quick donation
I think that would be great If you want to read off a quick donation. Everyone is doing an amazing job. Keep up the amazing work, everyone!
We are so close to that 100% run but we only have until the end of this run
to go and meet it! We HAVE to squeeze this in. I know we can do it, chat.
I know we can do it!
Alright, and we actually have enough
time for another donation because they had to backtrack
through the cave system. Backtracking happens
for sure. So we've got $50 from a Neuber that says I have no
idea what's happening on screen and I love it! This game is killing time fast
and this runner is doing things that should not be allowed on normal
timelines. Thankfully, it's
GDQ and normal timelines aren't
something we need to adhere to. We gotta
go fast! Fast! Fast!
Much love.
Thank you so much for that $50 donation
that eats us so closer.
Less than $250 away from Hondo!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention with the mouse movement in this game. Just like Skynet it's theoretically untapped and what do I mean by theoretically untapped? It's basically limited by how fast and far you can move the mouse.
So technically, if you had a task of this game
You could probably finish it in like 5 minutes with ludicrous speed
And speaking of mouse movement, we have a
$5 donation from O-Circle saying
haven't seen mouse movement like this since
Terminator and Strike. Best of luck
with Janky Mess Less Than
3.
So we're out of the sewer, now We do need to go over here in
The kitchen. Now we used to
Do this first before we did
The wine cellar but then I
Realized it was kind of silly because
you basically elbow to thumb
so we actually do the second
now and now we get to go
to my favorite section which is the pit!
This is the pit!
Echo, anyway...the pit! So we're just going to
head over here now. The reason I picked up the ankh earlier was actually for
this particular section. I'm gonna use a flamethrower right here, and I'm going
to make a safety save because
at some point
I'm fearing the game might crash, but that's fine if it
does because we can quickly get back into it
if it does. That's why I'm making sure to save often.
Alright, this did happen during practice that is the main reason I'm pointing
that out. Alright so head over. We've crossed the pit.
We have escaped the pit and now we are going to get into the library but we gotta
get INTO THE LIBRARY AND WE GOTTA FIGHT THE CLOWNS before we can do that!
The clowns on the 3DO version I think are more disturbing because they like zoom in
and their hands get all big and whatnot ooh right now i'm gonna try to use the molotov cocktail and
i should also point out with you may see the game stutter like that for a bit.
I need to stress this game is running off of mechanical hard drive.
It could have put it on a RAM disk but I didn't have enough time
to get that set up for the thing.
But that's fine as long as we can finish the run, that's the for the thing. But, that's fine. As long as
we can finish the run, that's the most important thing.
Alright, so
I'm going to try to hit that switch. I'll deal with the clown
now. I just want to get that switch open.
Now, I did want to share
something related to cocktails the molotov cocktails
the sprites actually can jut into the walls and you can damage enemies
within uh the other side of the wall and normally we would actually throw a bunch of cocktails here
and kill all the enemies but i want to play a little bit risky today
looks like it paid off!
Nice!
Alright, so now we're gonna head into
the library and we're just going to hit a bunch of
switches and hopefully that didn't softlock us
Okay it didn't. Good! right so now we're in the
library and there's two specific areas we want to go to
the first one is over here we're going to pick up a key
and then we're gonna go pick up a vessel and then after that we get to go
to the hedge maze which is a rather quick section.
A good... definitely a good area for donation reading but let's deal with this section first.
Okay okay.
So we're gonna carefully straight through. i have to be a little bit
careful on my shotgun ammo because I'm going to have to inevitably rely
on the Tommy gun ammo. I want to try to avoid the brutes here,
because well their hitbox is actually a huge probably as huge as the football
field and it makes getting by them rather troublesome okay so now we're
going to try to...
Am I getting rollover and ghosting on this? That's actually fascinating.
I think that's just a Mac thing, to be honest.
Maybe but something that we don't need to try anymore
We made that 100% upgrade for Virtual Boy Wario Land!
Heck yeah
I was actually hoping that got met
yeah i'm super excited you are doing awesome tbcr
all right so we got the vessel and the key
so now we can leave. We will come back here later there during
the finale of the game, we will come back over
here just not now. So we're going to escape the pit and
library by taking this pathway here we will come back
through this a little bit later through this way right here a little bit of a shortcut but we're
gonna head to the hedge maze we're gonna look at all the plants and flowers.
Alright, so this has a fairly
simple layout. We're going to go
left two, middle two, never right
and then
the last three
are going to be all
left
right that's how we know that we're going the
right way so now we're gonna go left, and then
we gotta slalom through these bushes here. Okay good
Okay good! Now we've got to slalom through these
Come on! on good thank you readjusting middle oh come on
thank you there's the last key that we have to pick up,
We do not have to pick up any more keys for the rest of the run
Now we just gotta finish this part right here
I can't help you, I can't help myself
at the moment. Alright, well here we go.
Help me.
So now we're gonna break the illusion
Oh no it's a hot map! I can't believe it! That's fine.
So yeah this is a collect-a-thon with a hub based system if you haven't figured that out yet.
I think its really neat for a game like that even the 3DO version was like that as well.
I wanna buy the 3DO version was like that as well. I want to buy
the 3DO version at some point.
Uh, I find the 3DO version very
fascinating. Also it has ducks and ducks
are pretty cool.
Ducks are good ducks.
So we're heading back over here uh Ducks are good ducks.
So we're heading back over here towards the direction of the lighthouse that we were at earlier,
We have one more vessel to pick up over here and then we're never going to come to this side of the island ever again for the rest of the run. We get to go to the fun part of the island. You'll see what
I mean, it's absolutely grueling and in some instances it can be
incredibly infuriating but but I don't know.
I seem to be attracted to games like this if you haven't noticed.
Alright, so
let's get
through here. Just going to slide
through carefully. Good!
I have gotten lost in this cave,
In fact last week during practice
I actually got lost in it
Alright, oop careful
Ope gotta go a little bit further...
There we go. I forget this is when you
have to get two segments in instead of
just the one. Right there we go.
So now we're going
to go grab a vessel behind a secret passageway.
Mystery thicket.
Alright, and we are just gonna go for it. I'm not gonna bother fighting these enemies.
And I ain't gonna bother fighting these enemies and now you're going to father bother fighting that ghost we're just going to
go for it and while we're making her daring escape
i'm going to try to stun lock some of the demon dogs here and you can go ahead
with another like maybe two or three donations.
Yeah, we got a $20 donation
from Racima says, let's see
what my video game Madlib says.
It says this game is about
an Egyptologist that takes
place in a mansion filled with
zombies, chefs
and clowns.
You must fight cockroaches
skulls and Anubis. To win you must destroy the water clock in this game designed for the 3DO.
Nah that's too random to be real
got time for one more uh yeah i did want to mention regarding the anubis heads i believe they have absolutely no stun lock to them which means they're probably one of the hardest
enemies in the game to squeeze by.
But you can do another donation right now.
Yeah, we got $10 from
Beanie Feeney supporting Doctors
Without Borders that just says killing time
more like killing bugs.
Thank you
so much for your donation, Feeny Feeny.
Alright,
so we're taking a little bit of a detour here to pick up one vessel. Just the one. There it is! And we are going to get some more ammo and a little bit more health.
There was a 50 health right there but it also has a bunch of hornets near and
no i ain't doing that all right oh speaking of hornets hi
okay so we avoided the hornet okay maybe we didn't okay so we avoided the
hornets okay maybe we didn't okay so we avoided the hornets okay
maybe a little close for comfort okay we made it past
for real this time we avoided the hornets
okay maybe we actually didn't okay so there's a lot of bugs in this section uh we hopefully are not
gonna have too much of a bad time with them i hope i'm not dooming myself by saying that
but we'll see how that is in about five minutes having a good time
all right so we're heading into the mausoleum here and we're going to go into the crypt there
is that urn power up i just went by just then, but we're not going to worry about that just yet.
We're gonna go down this passageway and pick up this urn or vessel that's in the tomb...
What's the word? Coffin! That's
the word. It's 7am
I'm tired, so I'm sorry.
Alright, so we picked up the health
and I'm getting clobbered by ghosts
I don't know how that's possible, but you know
sky's the limit at this point.
Alright so we're going to head through here
and we're going to head back up
the stairs and then we get to go
to the bug room! Isn't that fun?
More bugs! More bugs, and oh boy is
there going to be so much noise going on. I'm not joking, I almost got a headache
during practice in this room. I almost got a headache during practice, during this room.
I am so sorry.
You'll see what I mean in just a bit.
The silence then broken up by the dogs barking.
I was going to say, can I break the silence with just a really quick announcement?
Yes. So it's just as a reminder we did get that hundo percent for Wario Land
but we have another open incentive for Little Samson
to upgrade to the normal difficulty.
We're over $1,000 out of that
3,000 goal and Chad I know
that we can do it! Let's absolutely
smash these incentives open!
Or close. You close incentives, you close them. Yeah!
So normally in this section I would actually fight these tadpole enemies but ingenuity struck during practice and I realized you can just take the molotovs here
And since this is a 2.5D game and there's infinite height for enemies you can just do this
uh why did i not think of that sooner all right so
gonna save and carefully hop across and then
carefully try to do that which we didn't fail on that thank goodness get that yellow
health and now we get to do my least favorite part of this entire run you'll see you will very
clearly see why i do not like this coming up section.
Just going to outright say that, I just don't like this particular section because it's
very claustrophobic and there's the bugs. Oh thank you, speaking of
the bugs, I got caught up by one.
Also, the beetles can fly and latch onto you
and if you try to run away from them
they can just latch onto you while you're moving
and still deduct your health.
Isn't that just fun?
You know, there are some people like from my high school that do that so i totally can relate
okay now luckily it looks like we're not getting the worst luck i mean we're getting a little bit
of bad luck but not the worst luck it could actually be far worse
far far worse so i'm gonna take that blessing as much
as I can okay I say that and then I look at my health and it's a 10.
Okay, so we're gonna use the safety.
We need to go to River of Life. Good, now we're at the 200.
Was trying not to use that but we had to. Didn't have a choice.
I don't think we're going to get a blue power
up, uh, blue health thing
anytime soon. Nope.
Nope.
Okay. Now we can't cut
back across a little bit faster by going here.
That avoids having to run around that little lake.
And we're going to...
Come on!
Carefully strafe across come on and then hopefully we can get back into here now
since we're past that section if you want to read some donations until we get back
to the manor because we're nearing the finale now.
Yeah, it's wild how fast you've been going through this.
Good job, TBCR!
And we have lots of love and support like
this $10 donation from an anonymous donor
supporting MSF that says
TBCR is doing things to this game
that transcend the normal laws of time and space.
And gosh dang it, I love it!
We don't need time or space!
We just need FAST!
Good job TBCR,
and thank you so much for that
donation. Alright, so I'm making a
safety save here because if it was anything
like my runs on the iMac G5
that I originally did this on,
the game would like to crash a lot at that section. Maybe it's
just because I was running out of G5. I don't know.
So true! Anyway, we're gonna do
that again and I'm gonna take the flamethrower
I know I said I was trying not to use it a lot, but
I need the health so...
Oh! Not that door. This door.
Come on.
I bet its going to give me a red orb watch. Oh no, blue orb!
Okay. So we're gonna try
to quickly strafe around in a circle so that we can hit this
and then stra straight back around
And then go too far apparently. No we didn't go to far
It's right here. So there is the final vessel now what are we going to do with the vessels
Teebs? Well that's a very good question but before we do
that we're gonna actually pick up some ammo because again we're nearing the finale to the
game so i mentioned some water clocks earlier right well after I put all these
vessels into this little thing what we're gonna do
is start a play through a marathon during oh no i'm kidding uh we're going to destroy the water clocks in a
specific order now there are seven of them we have to do six specifically
before we can get the seventh one the seventh one will not be destroyed in any
way shape or form if we do not get the other six first
we start with this area that we've never gone to at all during the run so far
that's the first two oh come on okay and we're gonna try to try to avoid the
skulls as much as we can and we're also going
to try to avoid duncan which is the mummy that you've been seeing
uh he likes to attack with a hitcan that deals between 5-40 damage.
And yes, I did lose a run to Duncan once.
Now we're going to carefully move him around... to Duncan once. Okay, come on down the stairs. Thank you.
Now we're going to carefully move our way up here. I'm not looking at the projector screen
in front of me because I do not want to jinx my time
but
it looks like we're doing pretty good.
Once we get out of this tower specifically and are heading back down the stairs to leave
this area if you want to read a donation off while we're heading for the next one because
I've got to go to the kitchen so that would be just a little bit time.
Yeah! so we've
got 25 dollars from akira katayama that says it's a beautiful tuesday and nothing like killing time
watching a runner kill time with a wild logic-defying run.
Thank you so much for that donation, Akira!
Thank you so, so much!
We also have a $5 donation from Lily's Dark Materials that says,
thanks for the background noise while I'm in The Office.
I'm sure everyone at The Office is also entranced by this amazing run
of Killing Time by TBCR.
You are doing awesome.
I want to point out, and no one react
to this just so I don't know how the time is at the moment.
So the current world record
that's actually recorded is 30 minutes 12.
Hopefully,
if I played my cards
right we might get that. I don't know.
I'm not looking at the time above. Don't spoil it for me.
That will actually hamper if it is the case,
but we're done with at least half of the
things at the moment. I say that because
of all the runs I did today, the lowest time was a 26-ish run
most of them were 27s but I did get a 26 so
thats why im a little bit worried.
Okay, now we're gonna head out here
and go back into the pit! No we're not, we're going to this way.
So now carefully... so now we're gonna carefully i said carefully okay good make our way
through here i don't even know what to call this i
think it's like the barracks maybe i don't know
duh and we're going to skip that one Maybe, I don't know. Duh barracks!
And we're gonna skip that one and get that on the way back.
We'll go back to where the key was at in this area
That has at least two of them in there
Duncan, I swear come on And that has at least two of them in there.
Duncan, I swear come on!
Whoa did you do that Duncan?
I can't believe you got one of your own teammates right there.
That's the what is it team deathmatch?
That's harsh yeah.
Yeah that was very harsh harsh I can't believe Duncan
would do that
Oh! There's one red skull
Okay so we're gonna get the other Ankh
We're not going to use it just yet We We're going to use it in the tower that the Ankh was located in,
but we're not going to use it just yet.
Next floor.
All right.
Now I think this is the easier of the two.
Trying to remember... remember oh come on
come on skull okay bye duncan
good okay this is the easier one so yeah
the the pneumocytes don't have a stun lock.
So you have to basically just shoot them and then hope you can get by them.
Because they can attack even while you're shooting them.
Careful. Okay I can make it through there now
I just saw my health and gonna make a safety save
Now this next floor should hopefully give me
a little bit of health
Just a little bit
And the game's going gonna freeze for a second. Yep, there we go! Got a liiiittle
bit of health. Nice.
Carefully get the shotgun here...
There was no blue health there. Good! Uh oh, uh oh!
That's fine. Yeah that's fine. You got this.
Maybe we'll get lucky and we'll get more health here. I don't know.
Nope!
That's just how it works. Okay, good.
Oh that was close.
Careful careful careful. Now we're gonna leave the library here
back to the entrance I'm gonna make a safety save just cuz we're at 13 health
this is really unlike my heart's literally pounding right now.
Me too.
Oh come on! Okay good.
Hopefully that brute doesn't get us.
Okay good. Heading into here.
Going up the stairs.
Come on! Fighting with polygons? Good good good.
Oh careful! Oh okay good. That was close. Head down to the right here. This one is really easy
to get though I do have to avoid these two here.
Hopefully this gives us a little bit of health, come on.
Nope, okay, I guess we're into the fun zone!
Alright, here we go.
Oh, Duncan, don't you dare do that.
This is not the time to be doing that all right so
we are going to be doing the final fight at 10 health i just want to make sure
everyone is aware of that because uh i believe the first floor of the tower is going to
set the health for the final fight luckily we can potentially get a health pickup.
Come on game, what are you doing? That's fine
We can still go back to where we need to be. Okay good. And now we're gonna head up the stairs
Head back into the attic And now we're going to head up the stairs,
back into the attic.
We're gonna get the flamethrower out.
I have just enough health that we can pull this off
and I'm gonna make a safety save right before
we enter this room because again
The good ending is
defeating the final boss and we got lucky with that
Okay, get ready for time
When it starts to fade out, that's when we gotta do it
Alright? Come on
Come on
Also, that's test by the way. Time! All right, come on. Come on.
Also that's test by the way.
Time!
What was it?
What was it?
It's showing.
Just close.
Still an amazing run TBCR audience let's hear it!
You had a lot of love and I wanted to edge it with some stuff here, but you're like...
That was amazing. TVCR.
What would you like to share?
I might need the lay down after that.
Oh man! I'm right there with you!
I gotta get ready for the
Cruiser Grande tournament later.
Anyway, yeah, that's Killing Time and
as far as I'm aware, it was the first Macintosh run has been at
the event.
I think there was an Apple II run at a prior event but yeah pretty neat we were able to
get the thing figured out so I could present this very quirky little game for you.
But yeah, on that note, my name is TBCR.
Hope you have a good morning, evening, afternoon,
world keeps spinning wherever you are.
And to the people who actually showed up to watch the run in
person, thank you! I hope
that was a fun experience. If you want
oh, if you are in
if you're still here later in the week
and you wanna actually try the game for yourself, please let
me know. Because I have the PowerBook with me so just let me know. Anyway, for the people watching
at home, I hope you have a good evening yeah and I'll see you next time. Woo!
Great job, TVCR. Thank you so much for that killing time good ending run.
I'm so glad we were able to get that going.
We had a $20 donation from Crunch Prank,
Crunch Prank saying, hey OTBCR
no silly donation this time
just GLHF. Oh and
all of work is watching
and judging you right now by the way.
Laughter now, by the way. Oh, excellent!

And that $50 also got you entered
in for some amazing donations and I believe was
also put towards that incentive for Little Samson upgrade to normal difficulty.
We're just over $1,100 at a $3,000 dollar goal chat i believe in you we can do it
and we are set for that 100 run by swords Swordsman Kirby of Virtual Boy Wario Land.
Wow!
All right, Hey, everyone. I just want to thank everyone for their donations for this 100% upgrade incentive.
I'm Sergeant Kirby. I'm joined by a leg on the couch.
So I think we'll get started. Countdown. Three, two, one...
Go!
Alright, so Virtual Boy Wario Land is a relatively short game but as you can see there are some 3D effects going on already. And one of the most important mechanics is this belly flop mechanic, it
allows you to roll around corners and just bounce off enemies but regular warrior's kind
of slow so we're gonna switch over to bull warrior as you can see big dash attack
in fact you can even clear this big gap with it yeah the game kind of sends you for to go into
the background which is pretty much the main gimmick of this game.
Which definitely inspired some later games
down the line.
My first thought
as a Kirby enthusiast
was that this reminded me a lot of Triple Deluxe.
But, you know, unfortunately
we didn't really get to see
for example like a 3DS
virtual console re-release of this.
So for 100%, basically there's 10 regular stages,
there is a treasure in each of them
and in addition to that you you also need to find the key
that will unlock the next elevator.
Yeah, and just a quick
note on how we're even capturing this.
This is thanks to the very great mod by FurTech
that lets us get video output from one
of the eyes on the Virtual Boy, and we can just get through VGA.
So really cool that this exists
so we can actually play this on console.
This is being run on original hardware.
But the mod gets us like 90% of the way there but you might notice these sort of abrupt screen transitions
Normally the game is hiding it with fade outs and fade ins by adjusting the brightness of the virtual boy. Unfortunately, the mod doesn't capture that.
So if it looks a little bit jarring, that's why.
Alright so right now I'm using Sea Dragon
It doesn't have much movement options
It's basically just for blowing fire
So we're going to do a little bit of a detour to switch back to
bull, and even though this next stage
you don't really get too much opportunity to use bull when you are about
to see one, it is're about to see one.
It is useful for the treasure which
is at the very last room.
So this is the obligatory water level.
Oops, that chainsaw shark thing got a little bit closer than
I wanted to. Yeah, you might notice that
Swordsman Kirby's going to be hugging the ceiling and swimming
It's the preferred movement for most people that are running the game, so it makes swimming a lot more consistent and you can just kind of bypass a lot of enemies.
Yeah, not too much to explain for right now so we can definitely squeeze
in some time for donations absolutely we've got 25 from maybe your pie that says as someone who actually $25 from Maybe Your Pie.
It says, as someone who actually loved their Virtual Boy and did it
portably on road trips as a kid, let's pretend it was comfortable.
Gotta donate during a virtual boy run virtual boy defenders unite
thank you gdq for everything and thank you navy your pie for your donation.
So this last room coming up here is basically the whole reason why we get bull
so it's now out of water and you can squeeze in some dash attacks but
most important part is that, this can only be broken by
Bull's ground pound. So having
Sea Dragon, you have to
find Bull some way.
And normally the old route
was to come here and hit this question mark block, but
The backtrack that we did in the previous stage is just a little bit faster than
The backtrack in this stage.
So after three regular stages there's going to be a boss.
And Lego maybe can explain this how the setup works?
Yeah, so before the boss you have this guard that you had to hit in the head twice.
You want to keep the guard towards the center because it always has to reset in the center,
so save time by not having it be far off and so this is the first boss uh dinosaur fish
i'm sure that's what it's called um yeah this is gonna be a pretty interesting demonstration of the 3D.
Even though we're just on kind of a 2D screen here but...
Whoa!
Whoa!
But yeah...
So Sorts and Kirby's gonna be Whoa! So the Swords and Turf is going to be
kind of set up towards the middle,
once the boss hits
the water a second time he's gonna do
a full jump and just bop the boss in the head
so rinse and repeat um and fairly straightforward so time for a couple donations yeah definitely
so we've got ten dollars from Skies that says never seen a virtual Game Boy before. Super excited to see this run of Wario Land! Well you are seeing it expertly played by SwordsmanKir i'm actually curious we had a virtual boy defender
inside the donations here are there any other virtual boys stands what is your favorite
virtual boy game i want to see it inside the comments here, let's also
see it in chat.
Jack Bros is a really good virtual boy game as well.
Do we have time for another donation?
Yeah, yeah. We've got $250
from Neat! No comment but thank you so much for your generous
donations to Doctors Without Borders, earning your seat
for drawing the grand prizes for the marathon.
And we are officially over 50% of the way to that normal difficulty. Little Samson
run up with a $3,000 goal.
Thank you so much
chat! I believe in you! Let's keep it going!
Alright, so stage 5 is where the game starts to get broken open.
This is actually a very new route. Even though this game doesn't have much activity
this route was actually discovered within the past month
and it's to get this eagle hat right here, as opposed to
later in the stage.
An eagle hat
kind of looks like bull for now, but
in about two seconds you'll see why it's so broken.
So in addition to having a dash attack,
you can also dash in midair and jump out of it in midair.
So that allows you to basically fly over a whole bunch of stuff.
So the reason why I said it's a new route is that it actually loses, like there's a
difference between in-game time versus realtime.
Realtime is actual passive time. in-game time versus realtime. So, realtime is like actual
passive your time. In game time is what the
game keeps track of.
Because this is not exactly the most accessible game to play
for playing on original hardware.
The most fair way that we've
had for comparing
runs done on console and not on console
is
through in-game time.
So one of the things that doesn't keep track of...
Whoops, meant to bop off an enemy.
One thing that doesn't keep track of are screen transitions.
In some games you have these strats where you purposely go through more
screen transitions, even if it ends up being slower in real time to save that in-game time.
So that strat I think loses three seconds real time but it saves 3 seconds in game time.
Yeah so this stage the eagle hat is really helpful for just crossing the gaps here and skipping all these
really strong currents.
Yeah so Eagle Hat and Sea Dragon Hat actually combine into King Dragon.
Yeah, sadly this one
is considered the strongest but it's
not really the best for going fast.
Yeah so we're actually gonna purposely take damage- It's like the strongest hat
so the game doesn't want you to accidentally lose it by touching a different hat
But we actually want the eagle hat just to go fast.
Yeah and you'll see that Swordsman Kirby hit his switch and he's going to need
another one later after getting this key here,
and just get the treasure that's up the waterfall.
Yeah, that key grab sound is unusually loud loud compared to like everything else in the game
yeah okay so not too much uh else to explain here i'm just gonna go here and
hit another switch get get the treasure,
and then just leave. So you can definitely squeeze
in some more donations here. Yeah, squeeze it
in. I definitely want to do. We got
$10 from GKline88
that said, I got a job in April which means
I can donate toward more incentives.
Remember borders are
merely a suggestion.
That's right with that donation we
just over $ thousand dollars that needs to be made
for that three thousand goal of the upgrade to normal difficulty
for little samson how wild would it be if we're able to
get that incentive met during this run?
Chat, you are absolutely killing it. I'm loving it!
Got time for another?
Yeah, go ahead.
We got $10 from GoodG guy three saying all hail the virtual boy
thank you for your donation good guy all right so stage seven is a little bit scary
there's a lot of enemies so i'm just gonna actually oh no this is already wrong
oh boy okay let's just try to get through this slowly
all right wasn't supposed to take damage there
but that's okay.
So I guess I'll have to wait for this tornado here
But normally if I had eagle I'd be like
going really close to these piranhas
to try to fly over the stage as quickly as possible
but i guess I'll just take it the slow way because
I do want eagle for the rest of this. Yeah and at the end of the room here
um some security season can wait for end of the room here
Thompson Corey's waiting for one of the tornadoes that he's supposed to ride
Try to open up the door a little bit early by just kind of
Waiting through it like getting through the animation of this sand hill being depleted. Yeah.
So normally you have to wait for the sand
hill to either squeeze in before it or do that. but that strat of just like running
in after the tornado was discovered by my friend jay
who's not a runner this game they were just playing casually and
just told me about this great strat and I've been doing it ever since.
Got time for some Virtual Boy love?
We have $5 from Oro saying,
Virtual Boy Defender here.
Teleroboxer is a must
play game!
We also have $6
from GhostKumo saying I've played
exactly two Virtual Boy games
and can confirm that Jack Bros is an underrated game.
And also somehow the first Shin Megami Sensei
game ever in English.
Eat your heart out Persona good luck to sk also double fire and
hi allegro thank you so much for your donations thanks guys too though thanks oro yeah thanks guys Thanks Ghost 2-0, thanks Aura.
Yeah, thanks guys.
Alright let's try not to take damage here. I was actually not so scared of the first room but this one.
So I'm going to take it super slow here and just fly over everything. Yeah, you can fall into those one-tile gaps there
It's a really foolish way of losing time
But I made it even sillier It's a really foolish way of losing time.
I made an even sillier mistake earlier, but that's okay. We're still moving along.
So coming up is the second boss.
And at the beginning, there's also another one
of these guard enemies but it gets
supposed to be a little bit more complicated.
So now he's shooting missiles and I'm actually purposely
crouching down not just showing my butt to the guard intentionally.
For no reason.
It's because the guard aims for Wario's head so it skips a little bit of an animation if you're crouching down like that
yeah so we're going into the next boss it's a
sandfish and it's about as simple as the last boss.
Basically just going to bait the boss
to face one direction, then just bop
the head on in opposite directions.
Yeah, probably another great opportunity for
some more virtual boy love from Twitch chat there indeed is a
lot of virtual Boy Love both in the chat and in the donation
comments we have $50 from Maz Dangerous saying
I have such fond memories of Wario Land on The Virtual Boy. My posture has never recovered
And I still remember the crippling migraines just like they were yesterday.
This 100% incentive is making me relive that childhood trauma.
Maz, thank you so much for that donation!
We also have $10 from
Ninten. Dope!
My older brothers saved up and bought
a Virtual Boy when they first came out.
He said they would take turns playing,
getting sick, and playing again.
He said they were like the celebrities of the neighborhood with the new Virtual Boy!
Oh man, memories... Thank you so much Nintendo for your generous $10 donation.
Got time for another donation?
We have $100 from Escapade
saying absolutely
loving these runs in support of an
amazing cause. Best of luck to all
the runners and trans rights!
With that, we are
$1,000 away from
our upgrade to normal difficulty
Little Samson Run. Now
less than $1,000 away because people are
pitting that add incentive button when you're making
the donations. Let's make it happen!
Alright really random level here
You're hoping these enemies drop watermelons
to progress through the stage. So
basically in the background there are these
things that you need to hit with the watermelon
so for this one we have to hit this big switch
that uncovers this one
and it is random whether the enemies will drop it,
so kind of unfortunate.
For any percent you actually don't need to worry too much
because you just need these two watermelons right here.
Here's the key.
Yeah, this stage kind of gives me PTSD from
Miami and Mario Sunshine in a way.
But, yeah.
For 100%, you need two extra watermelons here
to unlock the treasure.
So hitting them into these cups right here
Yeah, and the cycle in the background doesn't start until
it's in view. Oh no!
Yeah so that can happen
They're not willing to play nice. Yeah.
Oh no!
Really?
This is probably the worst I've ever seen that.
Has this happened?
Probably, sorry.
It's okay we take those too
You get time to squeeze in a donation while you're...
Yeah, we've got $50 from
the one curly that
says shout out to hardware modders
making it possible to capture games
like this for us all to enjoy.
Absolutely, the communities that are out there put so much hard work
so we could see this amazing gaming here at Summer Games Done Quick
supporting Doctors Without Borders. Let's go!
Alright so
this stage has a pretty interesting gimmick
where it's cycle
based where at the bottom right there is a timer
to give Sourcement Kirby like 20 minutes, which
plenty of time. Like way too generous but
every 30 seconds Cuckoo clocks are going to go off and there's a key hidden in one of them.
So it's a little bit tight timing having to get to the clock and uh get the key as well so it is just barely
possible to make the 1930 cycle for any percent but but 100% no chance.
Yeah. Okay I have enough
time for this. We do have a little bit of leeway so here I'm actually
purposely waiting until 1929 so that these clocks don't open up.
They start dropping enemies, and I really don't want them to be in the way.
So we do have a little bit of leeway but now after this point there's about like 2 seconds
so I won't make any large mistakes at this point on
so i'm trying to catch you're trying to get the treasure
and in my case switch back to eagle hat all within this like 19 flat cycle
alright so now switching back to eagle
an earlier route would get eagle later, like after you get the key. Alright, so plenty of time. 19-02. I'm just going to wait underneath this cloth for it to open.
So now just exiting the stage so we can squeeze in a few more donations.
Definitely, we have a $5 donation from Sophie that says
A big thank you to Doctors Without Borders
All The Runners
The GDQ Team And my fellow donators who bring me so
much joy and hope each
year. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much Sophie
for that donation those kind words and we are officially under $900
to get to that normal difficulty Little Samson run.
We're so close I can feel it, I can taste it.
Let's make it happen chat so yeah this is probably one of
the scariest levels there's pits everywhere yeah uh Curve is going to try and hopefully get over this enemy.
But it can be pretty easy to get hit later in the stage.
This is where the treasure will be hidden. Wait, what?
Never mind that's a Mega Sentin joke. I think Ghost Kingdom would have enjoyed that one.
Alright, this is the scary room right here
I've been taking a lot of damage in it recently
Flanking up to this Okay, got over him So I'm flagging up this.
Okay, got it. Got over it.
That one enemy has been giving me so much trouble recently.
The whole point of all this is to try and catch the fan cycle
A little bit of of wall jump there, not...
Wall jumping is not as useful
as you might think in this game
like that's the one place where
you kind of have to do it. Yeah, that was a really clean stage.
That is really good.
Nicely done!
Basically, while the previous run
was going on, I was practicing nothing but that room for like half an hour.
So I'm glad that I didn't take damage there.
Alright another guard except instead of missiles they're lasers?
That's actually a little bit easier
You have more time to line up
as I say that,
the worst lineup possible
you have more time to line up right next to the guard
as it jumps.
Okay, so this
next boss is actually
quite difficult
and I'm sure
I am going to mess it up. It's a really finicky trick. But this boss is called
Tankin Operator
Yeah so, Sorcerer of the Kirby's gonna start off in the background once it starts firing off the tank
He's going to try and bounce off him
And hopefully not get too much recoil here
Try to bop off the optics and hopefully not get too much recoil here.
Try to bop off the operator from the tank.
There!
You can one-cycle that in the background.
Still pretty good, got one of them at least.
So each time you get that quick hit
and prevent it from jumping
from foreground to background it saves about 4 seconds.
So you can save 8 seconds in this fight.
But I'm just glad that we got it once
Just to show what it looks like
But yeah, we're getting squeezed into the a donation or two here. Yeah, we got
$10 from Ilya Rika
saying, I remember playing
Wario Land on the Virtual Boy as a kid.
My eyes hated me
for it but I always loved this game.
Thank you so much for that donation, Ilia!
We are just over $750
for that little Samson Normal difficulty upgrade.
I am so excited!
So, last
stage, this one's actually
maybe one of the least
hidden treasures or maybe most depending on
how you think about it.
I was or maybe most, depending on how you think about it. I would think that the last stage could be hidden pretty deep in
but nope, it was at the very start. So we're actually going to do
a huge sequence break here with the eagle hat.
Oop, let me just make sure I don't damage myself here
So grabbing that key with the eagle hat skips an entire
trip around the entire stage.
So having the eagle hat is super crucial for that.
And we're just going to go through the rest of
this stage, and maybe one thing I should mention is that
the physics between the background and foreground are a little bit different
so here i'm really making sure that i'm jumping before
i break the block for some reason in the background you just get more recoil
bouncing off of stuff all, so let's see here.
Just gonna
just fly over all
of it? Yeah, some of these rooms
can be pretty scary
with all the spikes coming at you.
Okay, this room is going to look pretty incomprehensible in 2D
but now I'm in the background
This was that first room where I did that big jump to get the key
But now I'm in the background.
And that's basically it.
Alright, so coming up is the
final boss, so let me just
double check that I've collected all the treasures.
Let's see here. So on this screen We have collected all the treasures Now we are on the final boss
One more guard to deal with here, and it's going
to be shooting rockets.
Yeah, these rockets fly all over the place so I'm just
going to cheese the first one
and then purposely damage myself for
the second one okay good um i don't need
the the hats anymore so i'm okay doing the final boss with small warrior
yeah normally this boss is is quite hard to handle.
But Swordsman Kirby has a pretty interesting way of handling this fight.
There's going to be a total of five hits
and the first hit, the game just gives it to you
from the start. So
normally, so you have
to be bouncing between the foreground
background with these big trampolines
but after the first hit here the big trampoline.
But,
after the first hit here,
Trojan's Curvy is going to go off to the left here and when
this boss completely goes off screen
it can walk slowly straight to the middle
and
just immediately jump in
and you can just land hits.
Alright, two more hits?
Yep, time's going to be coming up after the last one
Get ready on time
And time! and time
all right so yeah that's a warrior virtual boy wario land 100 just want to give quick shots of where community except especially soap agent who helped me prepare while i was
de-resting for this run but yeah anyways uh yeah, anyways thanks everyone for watching
Thank you so much Swordsman
Kirby for that amazing 100%
run
of Wario Boy sorry, Wario Boy
sorry, Virtual Boy

Summer Games Done Quick
I do want to read out a $100 donation
from Hexus Rex that
says, I'm hoping to go to med school next year
with the intent of volunteering for
MSF. Good luck and have
fun. Save frames.
Indeed, volunteering is what it's all about.
With your donation you help MSF save lives for more than 50 years
their medical teams have been reaching those caught in crisis.
From armed conflict to devastating earthquakes with rapid response care.
Donors make it possible for them to provide medical treatment
to more than 16 million people.
Ah, folks, we have raised over $300,000 already.
It's just Tuesday morning
but I will be enjoying watching all of the amazingness happen for
the remainder of the week. This is it for me on my host ship once again
My name is JD puppy. It was an honor and thrill to be a host for these really wild runs this morning.
We're going to go ahead and take a quick break, so don't you worry,
Don't panic! Chip it up in chat,
And let's have an amazing gdq week everyone see ya Thank you. so so so so Thank you. so so so so so so so so so so so Welcome back everyone. Hello, good morning Minneapolis and happy time zone to everyone in chat. My name is Beth and I will be your host for the next couple of runs. And as a reminder, you are watching SGDQ 2024 powered by Twitch
and supporting Doctors Without
Borders. Thank you all so much
for being here on this lovely morning
out in Minneapolis and hello to the live crowd who also made
it up this morning, I want to give a shout-out to JD Puffy again for an incredible posting
job on that last amazing run which was also an absolute joy to watch.
And we have another thing that's an absolute joy to watch because
we are going to hand it over to Uncle Slam with Dodo Peak
all levels New Game Plus right now let's go dodo
all right all right all right hello ladies gentlemen and extinct birds of all ages!
I am Uncle Slam, this is a game about dodos
and behind me I have a friend who I assume wants to say hi.
Hi, I'm Oscar424
And uh, I'm the connoisseur of puns
so I pray nothing unfeasant happens to you.
And what are your qualifications for being here, Asuka?
We both roll a game with toilet paper.
Very true! Look it up!
Anyway, so all levels in the game plus i'm basically just going to
be being all 60 levels in the game and we'll just get into it here so time will start as
soon as i get control of the dodo in the first level there will also
be a timer in the upper right corner so watch out for that too
and three two one let's jam good luck thank you thank you
see we'll notice very quickly here that this game is kind of a mashup
of cubert and frogger so you'll see at the beginning of each level
that the eggs that are,
initially safely housed in the cabin
or whatever we want to call that
hobble off on their own because reasons
and it's up to the mother Dodo to go retrieve them and bring them back to safety
and as soon as we collect an egg it'll hatch and turn into a baby dodo
and that will actually extend our hitbox by one whole cell.
So all the while, I need to make sure both the mother Dotto and all of the babies do not get hit by any enemies' obstacles etc
because if that happens then I need to restart the level over
cause there's no health it's's just one hit and you're done.
So yeah,
these boulders for example,
it doesn't matter if I get past it, all of
the baby dodos need to as well.
You should also probably get into what makes this a new game plus category
so all these coins you see that I'm collecting
they don't really matter to the one
during the run but
they're used to unlock skins
so each of those have different skins like these firemen for example and to unlock those. So each of those have different skins, like these firemen for example
and you'll unlock the skins with the currency you collect in the game
And what skin you have
actually does determine what speed you go at
There are two in particular that have the fastest
speed so there's the gold dodo i'm using right now and there's one
called the cosmic dodo and I just prefer using gold because that's my favorite kind of split
as you should they've also got those bandana ones,
yeah there are a lot, you'll see them in the
loading screens quite a bit.
Yeah the whole family of dodos and those loading
screens is like they're about ready to brawl
and I'm 100% here for it. Either that or they're experiencing a flashback of sorts like
i can't tell anyway going into this next level we're gonna see the first two different power
ups that you can get in this game and that is the melon slice as soon
as we get the melon slice we will get a very absurd amount of speed here so
since I eat it here bam goes slightly more than double our
initial speed! So as you might imagine that's very helpful for the speedrun.
I like how soon did you say that? It's like these spikes are going to say actually no
you have to hold on for a quick second. Yeah unfortunately cycles
are still a thing but it is what it is.
We still get the melon and the melon is cool!
Then it won't be long before we see the second powerup
But that'll come a bit later
That's a fun one.
So one thing I should point out is that there are cycles we can kind of manipulate in this game
so I'm going to restart at the start of this next level
and that's because the first
time you load a level in it'll take a little bit for things to
get rolling.
If you reset after everything is already loaded, everything will be on a slightly earlier part
of their cycle.
So there will be a boulder on the right side of this map here that if I don don't reset i can't quite squeeze past it and
i would need to wait about like three seconds yeah there is right there and i could barely squeeze
past it but the babies couldn't So resetting there actually just takes
less time than waiting for the boulder, so
there'll be a few levels where we do that later.
And I really
love that like, for those of you watching this one watch the uh
like the celebratory comments at the end of each level there's some pretty good puns in
there so if i have clean off movement here i might have screwed up but no
okay i was hoping to beat the spike cycle but
yeah only loses like half a second if you miss it so it's not a big deal
so worlds 2 here introduces the monkey enemy and the the monkey is kind of RNG, kind of not.
So if you're far enough away from it, they'll just hop around randomly with no real rhyme or reason.
But as soon as you get within their aggro range,
they will try to close the gap between themselves and the mother
data as quickly as possible but luckily they're pretty slow overall so it's not a huge deal
here we can actually get kind of screwed by really bad rng uh that was not terrible perfect nice baby baby
then coming into level 13 here this is where we see the second power-up so
the second power up is this invincibility tree
so as soon as we hit it we get this
wonderfully sparkly design. It basically works
like the stars in Mario
where as long they're active you are completely
invincible all of the babies are too importantly so
any obstacles we'll just bash right through
Any enemies will also destroy
I do want to point out there, you might have noticed
when I defeated that first monkey
that the game did slow down a little and that's kind of to insinuate oh you gotta kill good job
and highlight it but uh that does slow the game down a bit so i'm gonna try to
avoid hitting enemies with it as much as I recently can
i do also want to point out that uh that doesn't actually affect the timer when you're going for
ILs. So whether or not
you go through them, it doesn't really matter if you're going for IL
records. I like how this game is channeling
its inner FPS, like celebrate
the kill with just a slow-mo replay. It's like we're
dodos. Okay.
I didn't realize you cared about kills.
Right?
So I do want to point out that
being the dodo expert that I am, I do have to point out that being the Dodo expert
that I am, I do have some fun facts prepared for this run.
So if you all want to write this down,
this will be on test later.
Did you know that the scientific name
for the Dodo is is raphus cuculatus
i wouldn't even know how to spell that and that's why i had to write it down
to make sure i didn't butcher the pronunciation
maybe someone put in like a search engine could you say this
for me really quickly yeah i don't even know how to get dodo from that like it
doesn't even share any of the same letters.
Look, I come from a chemistry background so
don't ask how some of the periodic table
like elemental symbols match the words aside from
well Latin. Yeah, I i love that it makes sense
and then uh so level 19 here I'm gonna do a little bit of oh actually no sorry that's a
level early this level is kind of interesting though because I believe in the first instance we see the melon and the invincibility fruit at once
And if you kill an enemy while you're going quick it can really mess with... Oh my gosh I barely made that spike cycle.
Alright so this is level 19
So here I'm gonna do a little bit of manipulation up in the upper left here
so I'm gonna go back and forth just a little bit And manipulation up in the upper left here so i'm going to go back and forth just
a little bit, and that's to get the monkeys to go in that direction because there's a fruit
that spawns here. If they overlap uh the monkey takes precedence over the fruit
and uh going through here without invincibility is an absolute death sentence
well done thank you thank you now level 20 here is probably one of the most
precise in terms of movement you need because i
need to make sure I don't stop at all uh until I get past the spikes
at the bottom on my way to the left side so we'll see if I can do that here
nice do that here all right so far so good
oh man so boulder hit me the same frame i collected the fruit, and obstacles do take precedence
over that.
That's alright. We'll get on a slightly
slower cycle here, but at the very least
it's a little safer.
Yeah, going on the cycles I was talking about before, if you do
die in a level where you're not meant to reset it then
you have to adjust your movement just a little bit but
we've got backup strats so it's not a huge deal.
World 3 introduces the worst enemy in gaming, these lizards! About 80% of time they cooperate
The other 20% can do one of three things
One, they can just one of three things.
One, they can just stop randomly for a few seconds which completely offsets their cycle
They can turn around randomly which will completely mess up their cycles
Or when they start moving at the start of level
they can move in the exact opposite direction
they're supposed to.
Random enemy movement?
I would never know about that.
Yep, and I have never once lost a run
to them at all.
No sir.
Nope.
We don't talk about those.
And I'm not going to congratulate them on cooperating until we're out of this world
because I know what will happen if I do.
Are they only in this world?
Uh, no, we will see them a little bit later.
World 6 actually which...
Oh yep! There's a pause.
Yep the lizards are acting awful
lizard-like today
Did it happen real quick with a non-Dota related fun fact?
100%. Fun fact,
we just got the Upgrade to Normal Difficulty
incentive met for Little
Samson! Thank you so much to everyone who donated, that is
$3,000 to Doctors Without Borders for that incentive
thank you all so much, that's going to be an absolute treat. Let's go! Good job guys
Oh, one door- ohhhh, and it Oh! So the turn in this game
is a little weird.
There's like a five-frame window where you have to release
the button you're holding and
then the direction you want to move in.
It's kind of jank. it's not the worst thing ever but
it's like something you really have to get used to. But yeah these entry levels
are pretty self-explanatory so uh Steph now is a fantastic time for some dodo nations!
Oh absolutely I would love to read you some Dodo donations
We had $150
come in from NewTZ
who says, so this is what
peak performance looks like
Jokes aside, super proud of you man! Best of luck and I hope
you fly through this run... or don't fly? Oh never mind.
Thanks Newtsy appreciate ya.
We also have a hundred dollars that came in from Dylan Drea
that says we've got nine people on vacation for the U.S. holiday
and we have GDQ on The Living Room TV like it's the Olympics.
Thank you all for this amazing show
and for being so welcoming and accepting of everyone well thank you so much for that
generous donation delandria
we also had 500 come in from gannon 11 to help us meet that little Samson
incentive that just said let's go Ryan Ford and Little Samson good luck have
fun thank you so much for the generous donation and for helping us meet that
incentive oh it's going to be so fun
see looks like those lava spurts they don't activate until you step on them
that is correct so we do have a little bit of time to uh
get past them when we need to.
We can do like two more donations probably. Awesome!
We have $25
from Anonymous who says,
Thank you for putting on such a wonderful event
For a great cause every year.
Well thank you so much anonymous and we also had another anonymous donation
Come in for $250 with no comment
But we very much appreciate your generous donation. And remember
you do not need to add a comment, you do not need to tell us who you are, you can always donate
anonymously every single dollar counts and goes directly towards a great cause.
That's it, Jet. You are quite a hoot with all those
loony jokes, so keep those puns
coming.
I'm so glad to have you as a commentator
i'm so glad we mind melted before that oh yeah
yeah hey by the way would you guys all like your second Dota Fact of the Day? Yes.
Alright so back when the Dota was still alive and roaming this Earth they were only native to the island of Meridius which is just off the coast of Madagascar.
Oh that is cool! Although
much like this world, Meridius was home to a volcano
so one can only wonder how they went extinct.
Speaking of volcanoes,
at this level we need to reset
because there's a bunch of volcanic rock
that will chase us down the mountain
and if I don't reset then it will catch us down the mountain. You'll see it in a second here, and if I don't reset then it
will catch us basically immediately.
And you'll see how they go
extinct!
Alright, and... Made it home! Let's go! Go-go-tastic.
Alright so World 4 introduces
these crab enemies. They're actually pretty easy to deal with because they will only move when the Dodo moves
and they'll always try to move in the opposite direction
So if the Dodo moves down, they'll try to move up
If the Dodo moves left, they'll try to move right etc.
So you can pretty easily just go to one end of the map
and then keep all the crabs away from you
Would you say this is like a prequel
to another crab's treasure?
I'm not gonna deny it!
Yeah so this world because those crab
enemies does have like some of the most precise
routing but like it's not super technical you just have to memorize
where you're going so this is one of the easier levels in
my or easiest worlds in my personal opinion.
And level 34, that actually introduces a pretty neat mechanic
that we only see in two levels
I'll explain it more when we get there, but yeah.
This level's pretty cool because it's way more open.
I personally prefer the more open levels than ones where they're like
okay this is very clearly how you are meant to go down them
Because it kind of reminds me more of
Frogger than anything else,
which is, of course, what this game's going for.
So 34 introduces these buttons
that will shift the elevation
of certain platforms.
So, you know, it's a very basic mechanic, but it really works in a game
like this. So after I click
this edge, just gonna hit one and boop!
Now we can get the other one into the upper left.
That's just going to make a booping noise from here
i can do that it's only two levels
okay i'm done. For now.
It's only used in two levels but the other level can softlock because of it so......I can't really imagine why they decided to use only 2 levels for it.
Went up to 2 levels and realized, oh this is a problem! only use two levels for it. I took two levels
and realized, oh this is a problem!
Yeah so the next level is basically an auto
scroller so as long as they don't make any bird-brained
moves uh it would also be a good time for some donations.
Dodotastic! We have $50 from Phyton
that says, uh, I do-don't know what I'm watching, but I'll do-donate anyway.
Thank you so much for those wonderful dodo puns.
Please keep them coming and please continue to do-donate
to Do Doctors Without Borders.
We also have a new incentive open now,
now that we've met
the Little Samson incentive
for the bonus twist level
in Quake 2 Enhanced
if we can make it to $15000
by that run later today
We will unlock that additional level
So get those donations in
Remember to put them towards the incentive if you want to see that later today for Quake 2
We also had $25 come in from D Shen Long, who says here's some eggs
for your dodo donations! Thank you so much for that generous generous dodo nation.
Matt also sent in $75 saying good morning everyone! Hello,
good morning everyone. SGDQ
is my favorite time of year. Good luck to all the runners!
Thank you so much Matt, and me too.
SGDQ is also my favorite time of the year.
Then one more.
Alright, we had $500 with no comment coming from A17Tabris.
Thank you so much for that donation!
Incredibly generous and again, no comment is needed
Thank you again. Anonymous, you're pulling weight
thank you. Right?
This level has a lot of these cycles
We don't actually need to hit any buttons for these
so I'm not going to boop every single time they move
But yeah there's a little so I'm not going to boop every single time they move.
But yeah, there's a little trick we can do in this level where instead of grabbing that egg from the right side
where we're closer
if we go to the left
the cycles will line up just a little bit better
and we can save about... I think it's like
20 frames. Oh wow. So nice.
Now we're in level 40 here so this
is the level I was talking about before.
There's a glitch in this game where if an egg lands
somewhere it doesn't expect to,
then it becomes completely uncollectable for the rest of
the level.
So I'm actually going to reset here because I saw
the trajectory on that one.
If you look in the bottom right there's one that will land
on one of those moving platforms.
I have to wait for that to land before I hit the button. Otherwise when I get there
uh...I'll land on it
and it just won't budge. And because
I don't have all the babies I can't go back home and
it's a giant nuisance.
So as long as I wait for it shouldn't be an issue and of course you know that's like 30 seconds into the level so that's a pretty hefty time loss if that happens.
There you go.
Alright, so coming into World 5 here, with this being a very historically accurate game
our next location is going to be Antarctica!
No the other place that the Dodos lived.
Makes sense. And since we're in
Antarctica of course we are gonna see yetis
cause apparently
when the Yeti is not making shirts for this event
they spend their free time terrorizing innocent dodos.
You do you.
I'm not gonna judge.
Yeah, these next few levels are pretty chill. So we've got time for like two donations probably.
Winging it! We have $ dollars that came in from deject this is so happy to have gdq back
much love to everyone putting on the show again thank you so much, Detect.
Phoenix Captain also sent in $5 and says this run is absolutely excellent!
Thank you for the continuing Dodo puns this morning. Puns for a great cause, puns for Doctors Without Borders... sorry, DoDoctorsWithoutBorders
I apologize. And on top of puns we also have more facts
So are y'all ready for the next one? Absolutely.
So, the closest living
relative to the dodo is believed to be
the Nicobar pigeon.
Oh, that was one of the ones I looked up too!
Yep, they are native too if i'm not mistaken
the solomon islands palau and certain parts of india
so they have went out on the dodos because they decided hey maybe we
shouldn't live right next to a volcano.
We actually don't want to go extinct.
Chat, you better be writing this down. Remember there is a test.
Yes I won't forget
so as we uh get closer and close oh no oh my gosh just barely made that yeti
says we're about to enter level 48 here we are actually going to see the real life predator of Vidodo. So Spaph do you have any idea what that could possibly be?
Like give me your best guess.
Is it... is it...
Is it a dinosaur? Because it's an extinct bird and dinosaurs are also extinct.
It's not a dinosaur. You're not too far off. I'll give you one more guess.
All right, all right. Is it, uh, you know Avalon? dinosaur you're not too far off i'll give you one more guess
all right all right is it uh you know avalanches
based on this level um avalanches another good guess still incorrect
oscar do you have any idea what it could possibly be?
Um...hmmm...bad RNG?
That's a killer for this game not in real life though.
Fair. I give up.
Alright, well, I will say
when we get there, which is going to be
in a few seconds here.
All good guesses all around, but
the true Predator... The true predator of the Dodo is, of course...
...the bowler hat yeti.
As we all learned in school, clearly.
Yeah! That was on my bingo card.
The Bullet Hat Yeti is basically just a yeti but instead of ramming us they throw snowballs because I guess that's more efficient?
It's OddjobofYetis and I love it. See it i just don't understand why they're so angry
my best guess is that the bowler hats they're wearing are the same ones from meet the robinsons
oh god like i'll kind of explain it but uh unfortunately I don't think they got the rights to any Disney properties so much like the Dodo itself
I'm not sure Disney would let that fly.
That'd be awful foul of them if they did.
A little bit.
And this level has a neat little trick where
the Yeti you see on the left there, I can
manipulate it from a completely different part of
the level...if I don't die
I'm actually gonna reset that from the map because that could screw up cycles.
That one Yeti took personal offense!
He knew what came coming.
Yeah so right down here in the bottom left here if I go all the way to the top with this melon
The ebi will actually go aggressive on me even though i'm nowhere near him
And that should open up a path for me to get this egg nice and safely,
and get back home.
Thank you thank you!
Alright so we're on the homestretch here. This is World 6
and it's basically a conglomeration of all the previous levels we've seen, so we'll see at least one of every single enemy we've seen thus far.
So we got lizards, we have crabs...we also have these bounce pads that will take us and all our babies to a different part of the map.
So they're pretty useful for getting around quick.
That's how the dodos got to feel like they were flying once?
Yeah! Oh, wait till we hit level 53. They'll do that all the time.
This level though...
So it has kind of a neat dynamic where there's a shorter safer path and a longer faster path.
I say faster because they're melons.
But before we take either one, he definitely wants to clear out those
monkeys cause on the return trip they are a menace if you don't get rid of them immediately
like there can be only one left but because your trail is so long at
this point they will almost always hit one of your babies.
So if you pick up two of those water ballons at the same time does it like further increase your speed or is it just the same?
It increases the duration, it doesn't like double your speed that would be insanely
you know what's okay so oh my gosh that's a massive missed opportunity right there
because here we're just like flying around as much as we possibly can.
How fun was it to rope that specific level?
Less than it should have been, because it's very clear where you're meant
to go and the path your'e meant to go and, like, the path you're meant to take.
This one on the other hand, like if you reset here
there is an island south
of us with two lizards but I
swear these are the only two lizards that actually
cooperate consistently if you reset
so it puts them on a slightly better cycle here two lizards that actually cooperate consistently if you reset.
So it puts them on a slightly better cycle here, otherwise we'd have to wait
I think like four or five seconds for them to light up nicely.
And then there is like a very quick 2 frame trick
I could've done there that could get us past the
blizzards just
little bit more quickly, but
I'm not entirely sure it saves any time because
you still have to wait on cycles of blizzard afterwards.
Last few levels uh again this is another auto scroller so uh speth this is your last time for some donations so let's hear them excellent we
have a hundred dollars that came in from the sound defense for Doctors Without Borders
That says, this dodo looks like she's had a bit too much coffee
Yeah but you know if it makes us go fast then it makes us go fast
We also had Jonathan who sent in $25 and says first donation
of this GDQ I always look forward to GDQ and love what you do for MSF here's a $25 dough
donation for the bonus Quake 2 level.
Well thank you so much and we are well on our way to that bonus twist level
for Quake 2 later today,
So thank you already so much for your generous donations.
We also had Incredible Mr H donate for that Quake 2 run, $25 and says
Quake 2 owns dude! I can't wait to poggin holler at the absolute debauchery
That occurs during that run
Well thank you so much for donating towards that incentive!
Yeah, thank-you-thank-you.
That was like a really tight window on the last one.
It is as tight as it looks.
So to come off on the end here, I just real quick want to thank GDQ for allowing me to run this game.
I'm very surprised that it actually got accepted but hey we're here!
I also wanna point out that as of right now
I am the only person who has run this game
so if any of you are interested in
this at all i am more than happy to teach you because uh this game deserves way more
runners that it has and slam is a good egg 100 percent i do my best.
Alrighty, so level 58 here, bunch of spike cycles...
It's a lot safer than it looks. Again all you have to do is make sure you just keep on moving.
Yeah there'll be like the entire right island is completely littered within a minute I'm
just gonna go around them like there's no tomorrow.
Alright, two more levels! This next one was actually really fun to route
because there are so many different paths you can take. I'm not going to
take the most optimal it is
like a second faster but it is much much more dangerous and much more dependent
on wizard rng nice so just gonna go down here get this
egg and do a bunch of hopping around.
Alright, so we're headed into the last level now
And if you've ever played a Mario Maker
level that was basically just nothing but enemy spam, this is the
Dodo Peak equivalent to that. So anytime we go
to the bottom part of the map here, we definitely
need invincibility, otherwise it's a death wish.
You'll see that very quickly here.
Yeah so we've got monkeys, we've got crabs,
We've got the whole thing caboodle.
Time will be when I return home with all the babies by the way
So get ready on that
And one last melon
for the road.
And time!
GG!
Thank you, thank you!
Ooh, Nelly. That was pretty D pretty dotatastic if i do say so myself
that was a 24. holy mackerel yeah that is really good for uh
for marathon run for reference my record is a 2350 so if any minute of that is insane uh thank you oscar
for being my co-commentator i hope you all enjoyed the run and hopefully learned something today
uh aska what's your favorite lesson um that that we looked up the same thing about the closest relative words.
Sweet! IvanUncleSlam, stay tuned for Ninja Ga coming up after this, and until we meet again, take it easy. Peace out.
Bye-bye! Hello, Summer Games Done Quick 2024.
We are so excited to be here.
Look at all these beautiful drawings and signatures.
Look at all those pictures.
We got a fun little collage going, isn't that amazing?
Hello everybody I am Adeph and I'm excited to be bringing something a little special
we started doing something once or twice an event that is a little special interview where we spotlight a runner that we think has, you know, had a really fascinating story in the way that they came to speedrunning and the way that they have flourished within speedrunning
and on the GDQ stage.
So we're joined by a very legendary gamer today.
This is Ryan Ford.
Ryan, how are you?
Hey, I'm not bad. How're you?
Yeah! Some applause for Ryan.
Heck yeah.
Ryan, I'm doing really good and it's the
morning but the early-morning GDQ
and late night GDQ kind of share this brain cell for me
of like that's the vibe time
that's the vibe time if i'm ever awake
before 10 a.m that's the vibe time baby
uh ryan will be running little
samson in just a few runs we'll get into that in a moment.
But I want to start with Super Smash Bros Melee which is where you got your start as sort of
a professional gamer, as a competitor. And we have a clip here
of a game you played,
just to have a little sauce.
That's Ryan playing Fox there.
Ryan, you debuted on the SSBM rank in 2013
top 20 worldwide and you regularly placed in the top 100 on SSBMRick
and MPGR through the 2010s. I'm just curious how you got
started at Melee and sort of how that career developed for you?
Thanks... How did my cursor start?
oh my gosh okay so definitely like a lot of people it started off as a hobby with
a friend and we
uh so like a childhood friend of mine was neighbors with another friend that I used to compete with who we were teammates for doubles events.
Sure, sure yeah.
We started up for like 10 years.
For like 10 years from when we started competing.
He found Smashboards back in 2005
14 years old
he called me on the phone and was like, you know I found this website. There's all these crazy advanced techniques.
Like did you know you can pillar with Falco?
You can shine them and then air, and then shine again.
Our mind was like blown even though it's
standard now. Sure sure sure
Everyone...even people that don't
compete probably know that standard Choco
combo. They were like mind were mind blown back then.
Of course! Yeah all those early forum posts
and seeing all that Smashboards material
and I assume you started practicing
and going to events.
How did that transition into a career for you?
Yeah, so at first we were... Both me and that friend
were really cocky
and we're like,
oh, we're gonna win this tournament
We've been practicing advanced techniques for 8 months
In 2015 by then
You know kinda got humbled
We both tied for 7 seventh out of 81 entrants
for our local tournament.
From there, we were like,
oh, there's actually a whole new world
of events techniques,
things that we didn't know
that we learned at the event.
Kept looking at Smashboards and looked at combo videos
on Google Video before
YouTube even was a thing.
And then
yeah so fast forward to like 2008 is when we met a bunch of other friends locally that were
around our skill level and they're like okay we gotta travel to the talent so we started
like traveling to uh the us to like meet the you know the heavy hitter people that
people probably know like um we went to pound three so
that was back when mango kind of had his debut
of winning a Major over Mew2King.
So we got to meet them and try to play friendlies with
them, ask for advice. Sure. Kind of shadow other top
players. Right. There was way less
footage.
Often we wouldn't even know the
face of some top level
players back then. Right.
So you sit down next to them
at pools and get ranked?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
A lot of times
you either have to
by chance meet them
or know someone
that knew what they looked like
and point them out kind of thing.
Wow, the early days.
So Ryan, I have here a very silly little clip
and it is your very first speedrun submission
on speedrun.com, this is Ryan
playing Super Mario RPG five years ago
and the
comment
on that speedrun says
oh what does it say? I believe it says my very first speed
run attempt. Which is a delightful
first comment especially from somebody that's
already been so ingratiated in
competitive gaming community. Yeah there's the submission down
there verified by our boy Lackattack. Yup.
I'm curious how the transition from
Melee... because you know 2015
You're still playing melee pretty competitively
pretty regularly at that time. I'm curious
How the transition came of like, oh speedrunning is pretty sick.
Yeah um...I followed speedrunning from like classic games on Quicq
Oh wow nice
That's our first GDQ for people who don't know
The very first GDQ ever was Classic Games on Quick.
Exactly.
And I also followed runners from back then.
For some of them it was Justin TV and then Twitch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess Tri-Hex was... i don't know for some of them it's like justin tv and then twitch yeah
yeah i guess like try x was like a runner that had followed the lot cipher um cypher hell yeah and um yeah i guess we're like wanting to try and dabble in speedruns.
It would be many years before I actually did an actual RTA run
for any game but... Sure yeah.
...NikotCypher's run for Gimmick
That's AGDQ 2013.
Yeah, and I was like
what is this game?
Yeah, like
when I saw it, I was like this game looks
so cool, so I tried to play it casually and then I got stuck on the fifth bus.
That's a hard game.
It's a hard game.
Exactly.
Yeah, now I have world record in two categories in that game.
We actually have a clip of you here playing gimmick uh at
agdq 2024 this was that last event so it's kind of full circle like you know
you first your main stage debut was i believe sgdq 2021 yeah which was an online event but it was so amazing to
have you live in person at the last event playing the game that now we know sort of
was like oh the kickstart for you like that's when you were like oh wait this is really cool um so was
gimmick sort of the first game where you were like okay this is not something that i'm doing just uh
you know as a hobby this is something i can compete in yeah well okay so this game gimmick
was like the second game i learned like um well second game i learned to officially do rta
like way back i learned how to do do some Ocarina time tricks.
Sure, everybody does.
Like Ganondorf when it was new.
I could do a full any% run of Ganondorf
but I never ran
with like a timer or anything.
I learned most of MST back when World Record was not even 2 hours and 20 minutes.
But, I think I think everything except for...
What dungeon was it? Fire Temple, I think.
Dungeon.
For that run.
So I never got to do a run.
I learned some Metroid Prime tricks as well, like back then too.
But then gimmick sort of was the opening moment?
Yeah, so very first game I learned was Mario RPG.
SMRPG, yeah.
What gave me that push was actually...
I was playing casually for Mario RPG and Pidge.
Well she'll be on the couch at the end of this event.
She saw me play it casually and I've known her from Smash as well since like 2009
because she played Brawl competitively and I played Melee.
And there was a lot of joint events in both games.
And she was like, you know I can still teach you about RPGs if you want.
At that time I was sponsored for Melee in 2018
and I was like okay if I don't travel as much
I'll hit you up to learn the... attach and
learn this.
A month after that my sponsor actually went bankrupt so I...
So you had some free time on your hands?
Yeah, so everyone got dropped, I wasn't like traveling as much for tournaments
If I did then yeah, I would pay out of pocket and go
Sure.
I hit her up and was like
Yeah are you still down at G-Street? She was like heck yeah. And then I went to her place four times because we live in the same city.
Sure nice.
So I traveled...
I went to transit to her place four times and she taught me a run with like a screen
display on top of the tv that i was playing on
like she was like playing like on the other side of the room and
like here follow my movement she's like explaining stuff
that's cool yeah so that really like got me to like practice
um every time that we were when i was like not in her place and i learned like chunks of the
run i practiced what i learned and then you know the next week that i would learn like
the next quarter of the game.
That's how it starts and then you get a bug in your head
and you're like man I wish I could practice right now.
Exactly!
I can do 100 super jumps casually
not like 100% of the time. Sure. You could do it casually so I
started with like the optimal route because of that.
Right yeah because otherwise it's
that's the more difficult faster thing
to do is the super jumps yeah.
Yeah like she could even tell you that like i took like an hour to get
100 super jumps the first time so hard it's a hard hard uh piece of tech exactly exactly
so coming up in just a few runs here, I think two or three
runs you'll be running Little Samson and there is
a donation incentive open because currently the category
is any percent easy no out of bounds but there is
a donation incentive open right now everybody
for any normal which is the harder category there's only two difficulty modes in the game so
normal is in essence hard mode and you really do not want to miss that, this clip here is in normal
mode and this is your current PB. Oh my gosh! Okay I was gonna ask because
I changed some strats there and I was like like, huh. Yeah, this is you!
I think that was maybe the run I did on Friday.
Yeah, yeah, whatever your most recent
run is, this is what I pulled from.
Can you tell me a little bit about the run
and what people can expect?
So because of the a little bit about the run and what people can expect. Yeah,
so because of the health bar on
the left, this game definitely
kind of looks Mega Man-esque, especially with
Little Samson himself
he throws these bells that kind of look like large versions of the Pea Shot from Mega Man.
So there's four characters you can choose from once you get through the first tutorial stages.
You can switch through them, so a lot of people keep thinking that Samson transforms into these characters
but they are actually like 4 separate characters.
Oh okay, sort of like Bucky like it's four different characters in bucky
o'hare exactly yeah exactly so yeah mostly the mouse is like way faster and like almost every
way in the run so mostly trying to play as that guy but but he has the lowest health in the game.
Ah!
Very easy to die. Especially on normal because you have like 40% less health for your max health with With every character, so he has
like six points of health at max.
So what I'm hearing is it's an intense
speedrun. That's what I'm gathering.
Yep. And only practicing normal because
it's a very unforgiving category whereas easy
if I die won't be as impactful so okay yeah and normal if I died could cost
minutes depending on like where I die so we'll see well ryan uh thank you so much for joining
me up here i really appreciate it everybody do not miss ryan's run of little samson and
please get your donations in gamestonequick.com slash donate goes towards an amazing cause
MSF is doing incredible life-saving work all over the world

and thus maybe a little
more exciting because who knows what could happen.
So everybody keep watching SGDQ donate, donate, donate!
I have been Adaf, and we got more runs coming up right after this.
Thank you so much, ADef and Ryan Ford for that incredible interview
And again please make sure you stick around Thank you so much, Adaf and Ryan Ford for that incredible interview.
And again please make sure you stick around for Little Samson coming up in a couple of runs
but before that we have Ninja Gaiden with the Retro Runner
Coming up low percent it's going to be an incredible run so please stick around for that
but in the meantime we are going to take a quick break and we will see you after that.
Alright, I wanted to give some love To a bunch of the donations
That came in this morning
That not only helped us
Surpass $310,000
Raised for Doctors Without Borders

But also helped us get to that upgrade to normal difficulty
incentive that we did need for Little Samson, as mentioned before during
the interview there's a ton of tech
that we don't get to see in the easy run.
So that's going to be a lot of fun.
So it's going to be an absolute treat.
Really excited to see that.

on site and in chat
Alright everyone
so you might know the game Ninja Gaiden.
But I'm going to promise that I bet
You have not seen it run like this before
We have our next run ready
Returning to the GDQ stage
The retro runner with Ninja Gaiden
Low Percent.
What's going on GDQ and fellow gamers of the world?
I'm The Retro Runner.
I speedrun retro video games.
I'm gonna take a sec to introduce
my completely overpowered couch.
We got Aquus, who's an old school ninja,
not only a Ninja Gaiden, but a GDQ vet in general.
We got Slackinator the first runner to ever truly complete this game damageless
and we've got the voice of Retro himself, LoLZ cards fan.
So yeah we're gonna
play a really easy game today
I think it's known for being really easy
It's so easy in fact we're going to throw
a little sauce on it. We gonna play low percent style what is low
percent in the sentence low percent is sword only or also forbidden from picking up any power-ups
that activate instantly like fire shield like the stop timer can't get the timer stopped at time.
We can even get health which makes this an excellent choice
for a marathon.
A couple of things before we get the run started
I'll explain quickly.
There's something called sword cancelling,
and that is normally in this game while jumping you
can only get two slashes off maybe one on the way up
or down.
You have to wait for that animation to finish
unless you press Down and B
which cancels that animation
And then as fast as you can mash out
Down and B
That's as many slashes as you can get in. And we actually flipped the controller like this
and matched with one hand down
a B, and I have this little thing
it's cutting board that I've glued
and taped things just for stability
That actually only helps a little bit. The other thing
I'll quickly explain is something called
the global timer, which
is a timer that you can't see that starts
from as soon as you power the console on
to the last hit of the final boss. It counts from
frame 0-255, 0-255
so on and so forth. This is how the game
decides a lot of what it's going to do
particularly referencing
enemies that we call hammer bros because they toss projectiles at us in an arc trajectory.
And, particularly in this category,
because we can't use sub-weapons like Spin Slash
They have a lot of power to not only
wreck the run but straight up kill us so we might die
i'll be honest you might die um without further ado we're gonna
reset the console that's's gonna affect a really
low global timer
and at least the first
maybe two Hammer Bros will be passive.
After that I have no idea what the Hammer Bros
are going to do. We're just gonna roll with it.
So, though we may die, let's get this low percent yeah?
Three...two...one...go! 3, 2, 1, go!
Alright good. Those first three enemies are called the Three Stooges and they don't always let you pass so easily
So not only are we going to try to, for the most
part avoid
sub weapons, were gonna avoid those. What is that?
That's Ninpo. That's the ammo drop
of this game and what
the game does when you carry access and info to the end of an act is it first counts down your
Access nympho then it counts down the in-game timer, and then it lets you proceed to the next act
That actually cost some time to bring extra
ninpo, we try to take none or
there's some unavoidable ninpo
so we don't have these super overpowered
spin slash nobiz tier
but we have this.
We call that sword rhythm. It might not look that complicated
But it's actually pretty tough! You can do that frame perfectly
you can get real sweaty about if you want.
I'll quickly explain something called quick climbing.
Ryu's jump speed is faster than his ladder climb speed, like a lot faster.
And we can't jump up ladders but we could insert these little things
that we call quick climbs
and throughout the entirety of a run it's not nothing it's like eight or nine
seconds maybe even more yeah that's a rapid left and right
movement on the pad.
It takes a lot of practice but I'd like to introduce you guys
to another feature of this game where the sword will just miss enemies
when you're scrolling the screen occasionally
and this is going to be an issue in the upcoming section When you're scrolling the screen occasionally,
and this is going to be an issue on
the upcoming section as well because there's a lot
of pits in other sections
of the game. So when the sword misses
we will identify it and
we will announce and announce cheese.
Why is that, Akris?
Because it's called...
The Cottage Cheese Sword.
You can shout cheese with us if you want.
That's the best we can do here. The runners
run a lot faster than we do, so we just let them
go. They got things to do like
maybe football games to get to or something.
In any percent this screen is pretty
trivial because you have fire shield and you invincible in low percent. We have to do
This sorry, it's that's a pretty tight jump-and-slash
There we go if you miss it you die
And more runners okay so this first squirrely hammer bro no idea who's going to do that that is the hammer brothers and we did have our first cheese on that ham brother Cheese!
Alright, be nice. Be nice.
They're all on these ledges here
And they could be throwing. They could not
That Jets player is late for the kickoff some more sword rhythm here
yeah you can just buffer these slashes with their rhythm
and all right brofist we got the bro fist from
bomber head who is canonically from the bronx
new york represent let's go uh this stage two in a percent
is kind of easy because you get this stop timer, which freezes all the enemies.
Which we cannot get. What we're going to do is try and employ this cat here.
Cat boost.
Spacing of this enemy, these enemies kind of random just pay attention.
Alright not bad nice there we, smooth.
And the point items you can collect without penalty.
I should have made this clear. You can collect points,
you can even collect sub-weapons, you can collect points, you can even collect sub weapons. You can even use them! You just can't hit enemies or bosses with
sub-weapons that's the bottom line really which is kind of not
the norm for most lower percent categories.
All right, coming up.
I really like this strat.
Shout-outs to fellow ninja Bumbledon
for coming up with this.
Let's see if we can get it.
Buffer a slash here to minute this bird, who is going
just kind of freely carry us off the cliff. Bumble Tom! There you go.
Alright now its time to meet everybody's favorite knockoff of a Gunsmoke enemy here.
He's got these knives that he likes to stake to the ground.
They'll shoot these bullets on random cycles and we're looking to try to get as many
as three hits per cycle that's a good fight good job
it's really hard to get the three hits in i don't think we got any there but
it was a good fight.
Alright this first Hammer Bro RNG Prayers
He has all the power in the world to dunk us if he wants
Please be nice.
Oh!
There it is.
Ah the good old marathon locket.
The perfect dark.
Alright cool we got our first death out of the way.
Everything's free from now on.
I like this cheeky little boost.
I like using the cats.
We're gonna slash this guy and another...
Cat boost. Good boost! this guy and another yeah that boost that boost i'm gonna attempt to climb
this first long ladder of the game quick climb style bullet boost
uh a little struggle there I'll struggle with that we got some time saving there it's so difficult to do the wall climbs trust me donations please yes absolutely and we've got so many coming Donations, please! Absolutely.
And we've got so many coming in for this run.
JashyTurbs sent in
$25 and
said good luck today to TRR.
I tuned into see you finally running YY world but i suppose i'll have to settle
for a ninja guide-in uh have fun and thank you gdq for an amazing event skinzy sent in ten
dollars and says shout out to the Retro Runner
and Slack on the couch.
Show them what
the world record holder
can do, sir.
Cheers.
We also had $25
come in from Chuckles.
Much love from all of the Retro Shredders!
We're so proud of you and all of the work
you do to showcase this truly A-plus game.
And Arnaud33200 sent in $25 saying,
Good luck on the run Retro. I hope you don't get too much cheese.
Too late.
Too late.
NamelessXSilent also sent in $25 and says,
Good to see you back at GDQ! Just a nice casual run.
Good luck.
You have time for one more?
Yeah, you can fit one more in. Alright!
Tim's Variety Gaming also sent in $25
thank you so much everyone for the $25
donations to Doctors Without Borders
and said such a timeless and impossible classic the ryu versus ryu debate was
always intense back in the day all right we don't have spin slash for this boss but maybe let's see he got away from us bits there was a real one
here is gonna wait for him to get into target still pretty good i like shooting die
good bounce man i like that though the manual spin slash
yeah yeah that's cool you can kill him you can kill him before he even leaves
off the column.
Alright, so 5-1 here. Gonna start with a little bit of a stutter that's going to lower
that Hammer Brother so TR can do that damage boost very nicely done.
Get the double kill here and let's see if this Hammer Road is going to be nice
or he's going to be nasty, but gets through it anyways.
Alright, and there's the Ringling Brothers.
The circus has come to town. We don't want to get hit by those
rings because they do 3 HP of damage
and as we've mentioned,
health management is very important.
There are a couple of potions that can refill your health
here both in 5-1 and 5-2 but TRR can't grab them
because it's low percent
and if you were to grab them
he would be invalidating the run
and that would not be good in front of hundreds of thousands of people who are
watching this run i don't even know what a good five point
i don't know what i'd do in that case never thought about it
uh you um let's see you do see spin slash Never thought about it.
Let's see, you do see Spin Slash in this run and here it is.
It'll be used pacifistly.
And there it went!
We even replaced it with this baby star to make sure that we don't accidentally spin slash any enemies.
I like the reverb on the button clicks, they look nice in ASMR-y.
Oh yeah.
Go for some lemon drop action?
Okay, let's try again.
Very nice and a
bird boost!
Alright the screen after the
screen is actually, it's
the worst in low percent.
We have two hammer bros and
a bunch of these rocket ninjas uh and they all have to cooperate oh of course they're not
of course yeah this is the scene's a nightmare yep okay
at least that one worked. There we go, there we go.
You can still do this boost?
What's this boost?
SP Boost! That's a classic. Panther. SP boost.
That's a classic, go right into the ladder via
top of the screen
With one health remaining here, should be good.
Yep, home for you!
There we go. We got through
pretty tough.
We've got this Malphite. We're looking for a three cycle?
As the Ninja Gaiden runner, this will not be a three cycle already.
Good stuff, though.
Takeaway is if you get to that boss,
you just stand in front of his face and you can match B.
He looks big and bad.
You'll out DPS him every time.
This screen is exactly the same as Any% pretty much
we're just going to try to avoid most of the info there's an unavoidable one right
there because the kicker is literally
right on top of it and we just grab it. It's really not that
much of a time loss at all
So, we haven't had a lot of cheese in this run but I don't want to jinx it because we're going into the final stretch of the game.
Too late!
I already jinxed it.
So my hammer brother is up there. He's timid and another one right here in the ledge. Not timid, blocks off with a dog getting hit in.
Moving on... some well timed slashes into a pretty tight jump right here.
Got it! Nice.
You can collapse, okay.
I'm going to attempt to quick climb the second long ladder of
the game.
Much stronger climb. There we go. That's looking good.
This screen isn't free either, please be nice.
Hey, football player!
Oh, yes!
This green also needs to cooperate.
We have this gremlin here and his hammer bro he likes to throw. And he did!
Interception.
We got the Castlevania Flea Man terrorizing you as well.
Oh boy, okay come on Flea Man let's do this. You and me.
There we go.
There you go.
Got bumped around a bit there and remember
where you can't get health?
Yeah, so I'm going to
have to be creative.
I might even have to do
like ye olde death health refill but i'm gonna try not
too we'll try to skip some stuff actually there's no way. I'm bad at math.
So the stage does have multiple checkpoints... um, think it's we'll see
nice oh geez right there yep please hammer brother
active wow yeah and i'm i got to tell you yeah it's the secret health post
free out there that's right here's the most people don't know about that
all right so let's see if we can get this this is called
a beer full of belly boost shout outs to dear philip let's see if we can get this. This is called the Beer Full of Belly boost.
Shout out to Beer Full of Belly.
Okay, and we're going to mash the clown nose.
And the rest of the run is the same as any percent. Let's get some good final bosses. Let's go! Let's go, let's go!
Do we have time for one quick donation?
Oh! Almost got the plate kill.
Excellent kill, excellent kill still.
And even more mashing coming up here Let's close it out
Nice let's close it out nice
the shrimp above are randomly falling
down
yeah i died to the demon.
That's really bad.
We might be in danger of going overestimate now, but we'll try.
Might be able to clutch it out.
You know... I'll turn the best.
The game notoriously is cruel
and likes to send you back
at the beginning of the level
when you die on those bosses. But interestingly though, once he
gets back, he will only have to fight
the demon. Isn't that correct?
Yeah, you also don't get a health
refill so I have to be
cognizant of that.
Not going into the demon with one health, because he'll probably just die immediately.
This is fine, because we get to witness Retro Runner and his element playing more Ninja Gaiden. I'm happy.
And the stage yeah.
Alright so I am going to attempt a quick climb the second long ladder of the game.
We could probably do the donation now. Yeah you can do as many as you like.
Well absolutely we have a ton coming in but primarily we have
a 75 donation that came in from teen is brutal that says i always love watching you run this game
so proud to see you at GDQ again.
The cats and I miss and love you,
See you when you get home!
Yeah, I miss my cats...
I miss my wife.
Alright the Cheeseball81 also sends in their support with $50
To Doctors Without Borders and says

Yelsbrick also
sent in $25 and said,

Oh yeah, yeah. it's too late that's fine that's fine watch this please Okay. Do I keep going?
You have a 20 minute estimate, so...
Yeah. Keep going!
I have a 15 minute estimate actually that
That's what you would always say Slack
Keep going
So this screen is exactly the same as any percent. We're gonna try to avoid an info.
That's still a funny joke, right?
Yes it still is.
It's so good?
Is it still funny?
Yeah, I love that one. I'm not sure if you can see it. so good so funny yeah i love the uh support you got there

runner right now.
Thanks folks.
We're going to get through this, I promise.
We're not going to take any boosts this time
Everything's gonna be fine
Oh please, please
Two health again! Oh my goodness, come on you got this.
Shrimp please...
Oh my god these patterns
Nooo Um my god these patterns no um i'd say just try keep going again oh you do it again all right let me
take a game over because if i die again that will be bad yeah at least get something these shrimp patterns have
been awful by the way he has not been getting that much luck on those um projectiles i don't
have to cut a lot of boosts out hey i've never been in this position before
yeah i gotta say it is unique because yeah i guess of low percent because you don't get
the health refill at the beginning of the boss fight. Yep.
Let's get some more donations, shall we?
Oh absolutely and we have plenty. Mr.
Popo sent in $25
uh and a quick reminder for that Quake 2 incentive
that's open. I don't remember the twist level from Quake 2 Enhanced, so we've got to make that donation
incentive so I can see it! And that's a great reminder, you can send in all of your
support for The Run right now now and also help us meet that
incentive later today thank you so much for that 25 donation keyboard cowboy sent in 25 dollars
and just says first nights of the retro shredders.
Thank you so much for that $25 donation
and Overlord
3456 sent in

as a treat.
Oh, please.
This hammer brother is zoning you out so good.
Alright we're gonna cut out as many boosts as I can
take some more health to this dude Alright, we're gonna cut out as many boosts as I can.
Take some more health to this demon. Come on you got this buddy!
Yeah let's close it up.
Give it up everyone come on.
We need a-we need some spirit here.
And Twitch Shadow Muscle I'm calling out to you
to also send all the best vibes and good spirit
to this run. Let's go!
Cheese! Cheese. CHEESE!
I'm lactose intolerant.
Oh yeah? Wow.
Was that a cheese as well?
No... I wish I could tell you what it was.
Just birds being birds.
Yep, birds being jerks. Oh my goodness.
I was trying to save some more health by not doing it.
Oh, I see.
Cheese! That's definitely what it was. Yeah, it's a pain to run this game because of that
by the way if it's not clear to everyone even at
90%. Of course in low percent it can happen so much more frequently
because you're not just spinning through everything all right come on we should be good now
yeah a lot of health come on
okay geez oh all right let me get you guys okay
come on Are you serious?
Oh, man
You hate to see it, Karthus.
You really do.
You really hate to see it.
Again? Again From the top
Alright so 6-1
It's just the same as it would be in any particular scholarship.
I'm gonna call that's not funny anymore.
You're right, it's not.
I'll level with you. You're ready for that.
Alright! So this is like worst case scenario.
You having fun everybody? Let's go!
This was the Ninja Gaiden experience for most people who play
the game because of the Game over sending you all the way back
doesn't do that in the other levels
all right how about some more donations I suppose?
And we've still got more and all the support coming in.
Also a reminder that this isn't just Ninja Gaiden
This is Ninja Gaiden the hardest possible way you can play it
So this is going so great and uh whoa

Alright, you might have heard about this run a little
earlier during an interview with
ADef and the run is
finally ready! Again thank you to everyone
for your generous donations to upgrade
this run to any percent normal out of
bounds. This is Ryan Ford
with Little Sampson
Alright, welcome back Hey.
Alright, welcome in everybody! So I'm Ryan Ford
Gonna be running Little Samson on 90% normals
Shoutouts to everyone that donated to get this
category going, making it
pretty tough but hey give
it up to all y'all in the crowd
and everybody
in chat that may be maybe watching currently
so um so we've got the commentators on couch right here um want to introduce
yourselves boys yeah i'm string bean string um and i'm steve tv online hey Yeah, I'm StringbeanString. And I'm SteveTVOnline.
Thank you guys for holding it down as well.
No problem, no problem.
Okay, gotta make sure I'm playing on normal so...
Okay, let me give a quick countdown.
Who wants to do it?
Go for it!
3 2 1 Go for it. Okay, 3...2...1...GO! Alright let's get it!
Yo I love that I can hear the crowd in the back.
Yeah definitely. Yeah I guess before love that i could i can hear the crowd in the back yeah definitely
yeah i guess before just talking about the run a little um
yeah so i'm back from agdq you might have caught me in the morning running
uh gimmick during that event in January.
So another obscure NES game for y'all.
And yeah, if any of you all want to hold it down
for comms definitely go ahead.
I'll try not to interrupt too much.
Yeah, sure.
So we've got a whole bunch of spin jumps that we do in the beginning
of the game because we're playing as little Samson himself.
We'll see him at night now?
It's totally fine. Just take half damage from it. We'll see if I die now. Yeah, yeah.
It's totally fine. Just take half damage and it will be okay.
Or don't take damage, you know?
So do you want to time the down shot
for those enemies before you go.
I'm gonna wait here for safety.
And another thing that Ryan's doing throughout this stage
is counting out how many enemies he's killing
because there are health drops
that you can get every 8, 16 and 24 enemies.
And that'll come crucial in the fourth stage later for this one.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
Just catch a tornado right through and then fly as the dragon.
His special is to being able to hover
And get over longer gaps so that we might use it a little bit more later
on as well.
She's mostly a safety net.
Oh, I messed up that.
That's fine though.
The first four levels here you just switch between the main characters and then subsequently
You can switch in the menu to play as each one individually
But it's kind of like a tutorial to get the mechanics down yep we've got gam
golem yep so uh yo i actually don't know if there's a community that posts somewhere here
but like i seen a bunch of runners
singing and making up lyrics to this song
or saying you're only going to hear it once
because you can clearly see
that Gam the Golem is pretty slow when running.
Ideally you don't want to use him through the run unless
you're maybe punching a boss or something.
So one thing we didn't kind of
explain about for normal,
our characters have a little
bit less health and there's actually
four extra levels compared to
easy. Yeah so you complete the original eight levels extra levels compared to Easy.
So we complete the original 8 levels from Easy and then do an additional 4
and
yeah, so the mouse
is the OP player for the game very fast and does a lot of damage with
dropping these little bombs can climb on ceilings and uh hey you just generally
want to be the mouse to be fast.
There's a 24th kill right there
to get a health expansion.
Then I grab the other one that's kind of
there for free.
Gonna grab that heart for safety
in case I got hit by these guys,
because if you full jump and you hit the ceiling
You'll descend faster so you might like fall right into those frogs as they're growing
When your at 2 health you'll die in one hit to them
The jumping is
kind of tight there.
It's got our first mini-boss here.
Hey, good RNG?
Yeah.
Oh my gosh!
Ha ha ha! oh my gosh Oh, um
I got like a double press for some reason
that was weird. Um, I might die? Maybe
Oh! Well it happened
Interesting Yeah uh... No one saw Oh, well. It happened. Interesting.
No one saw this coming. That was weird. I'm trying to do single throws
and he threw like
two bells at once.
So what I do also is just stun locker by mashing if i get the good rnd so i'm gonna just do that instead of timing it
uh this is rough but it's okay.
Oh on normal she also takes 24 hits to defeat instead of 16 on easy
so I forgot to add that little tidbit in there.
All right, so for basically the rest of the run
we're going to be using the mouse for this
and you basically just want
to keep running in the levels.
Yeah, this is a fever dream of damage boosts.
This level is a little scary actually.
Ryan said earlier that password may be an order if he does but that's not gonna happen
never happens yep I forgot to open the
Google Doc encased for the pastor we'll
see them scary spike jump okay I'm gonna play it safe.
The spikes do 4 damage and I have only 3 health currently
Gonna grab this for safety too right here
Because if I want to be completely safe,
I'd ideally wanna try and have four? At least four health.
Whoops! What am I doing?
Sometimes you're gonna see Rein throw bombs behind him, that's just to get rid of some
the projectiles.
They vanish?
Yeah so right there you also saw Ryan jump into the second one up top that gives him a little bit of immunity frames.
I choked a little but that's okay.
That was good.
Easy peasy.
Yeah, doing quick kills by taking hits and using the iframes
by mashing single bombs into the bosses
because the bombs do one damage but
the explosions do a chunk over time. And you can
mash faster than your bomb damage if you're on point
so it is pretty nice if
you can have good mashing. So this level's
pretty scary um well I actually couldn't see where the
spot was on the side of them.
Actually pretty stupid.
Mainly you don't want to just bounce on a ceiling and take 4 damage and die here.
And spikes on those sides,
The hitboxes are kind of larger than they look so... And the spikes on those sides, you can...
The hitboxes are kind of larger than they look.
So definitely got to be careful.
All right.
That was a pretty solid bubble.
It took it a bit safe, but
it was not bad.
So right here, Ryan's going to wait until they form
to jump into the middle to set down all the bombs
That was good.
That was decent. Pretty nice.
I'm happy with that
quick kill. It was like
one extra volley of bombs I needed so it
was pretty good.
Lava does 8 damage
8 hole damage So that's instant death if I get hit by the lava at all.
With a mouse for sure, I'm dead automatically.
Alright. For sure, I'm like dead automatically. Alright then uh... Might try to
do some lag reduction here a little
Oh! Uh... Okay
Here's the backup I guess?
I was getting a damage boost and run through those spikes, but the enemy I was supposed to take that hit from actually despawned because there were so many sprites on screen.
Oh you got good RNG there too! There could be two enemies that spawned there, but he only had one so that was actually pretty lucky yeah there's a lot of switching to different
characters just for tanking damage in the later stages exactly because
yeah definitely don't want to lose this guy
if possible.
And yeah, there's like
spikes everywhere here so also got to be careful
either managing
iFrames and not falling into spikes,
because sometimes when you get lag here it likes to eat your input.
I played that rune extremely safe
because I died too many times from just not getting a jump.
And there, I kind of manipulated so I waited for that big skull to shoot to the left
because it despawned another big skull
that was supposed to be in the middle where I did that really
slow, laggy jump.
Oh, that's not good but
it's okay.
I'd ideally like to be at a minimum of three health
for the quick kill but i'll just do
some uh safe cheese in a moment
yeah so this guy um he is supposed to shoot a beam when you're beside him but if you're barely next to him and keep inching over to the left it'll like make him not shoot it at you so um he also let his guard down
as he's like walking over like to close the gap between you so kind of like the bombs explode
and just kind of inched to the left a to the left a little bit of cheese
it's probably one of my favorite bosses to watch too it's so fun
mouse and cheese go together exactly yeah lava dangerous yet again very we'll probably try to damage boost
through oh whoa okay so safety i. Oh that's not good!
Because I had the eye frames
I couldn't pause when the hover ran out
So I didn't get to pick up the health.
I'm going to have to actually back up this fight.
What do I even do?
Because this situation has never come up for me,
so I'm uh
curious okay i gotta probably just match this guy down with a different
character so can you use the golem and do multiple
cycles i guess
hey casual if it works, yeah.
Yeah cause I was gonna do the same quick-kill as the green guy that I fought earlier but
I ideally want to keep that potion. It's probably faster honestly if i can save the potion until a later
boss so yeah so ideally just need to not die to the dragon because they still have one hit
from death so if y'all wanna cover this fight were you expecting a mouse
vs dragon plan in this game right if you uh if you fall it's a bit of doom too i was
so scared i almost missed i'm gonna just play the safe because I...
Yes there we go.
Good backup!
Oh my gosh.
I was definitely on edge that whole time being here at 1 health
So it was like...
Let's not tempt fate over here.
Because I could have lost minutes if I did die, so maybe.
I guess since I had the potion for the mouse, like it wouldn't
lose minutes but it would uh
be rough. I'd guaranteed
you'd loose like 15 seconds though at least
after. Didn't happen yep yep
yeah so this is the on easy this would be the second last level
but um yeah since there's normal
then there's quite a few to play still.
So one thing he does
there with the skulls is
if you go up to their height
then they will come after you
so if you move
a little bit forward
and then go backwards
it's easier to kill him that way.
Yep. Thanks for covering that!
Gonna take a hit here since the hearts heal you for 4
So just did a damage boost because why not.
It took one extra hit than I had planned but should be okay.
Gonna be picking up another heart for safety on normal.
This room is always scary. Yeah, yeah for real. I'm gonna be picking up another heart for safety on normal.
This room's always scary.
Yeah, yeah for real!
And sometimes grabbing these walls can be awkward because if you're grabbing a sideways wall
You have to press A while you're beside it to actually touch it
I'm trying to reduce lag here okay
you definitely generate more lag by like
missing your bumps on the enemies so
gotta be careful uh hardest flick bill in
my opinion.
For the phase 1s of the bosses
I think i can actually work around it though. Oh, there it is!
So I didn't get to one cycle
but... Whoa!
I'm gonna be careful here cause
So yeah, you're hoping for those ghosts to not even spawn down below. They can spawn in different ones and the best RNG is obviously for them to not spawn at all.
Yeah because they can can like sponge your bombs
before they explode so then uh you'll not get much damage out on the
death skull over there
so that guy dead skull he does nine damage on contact so he'll like
instant kill me uh like most of my characters and like one hit from even for pull up
so anytime i got hit was by the smaller ghosts generally
so I wanted to
What's it called? They only do like one damage
so I tried to abuse
iframes. I mean it's kind of obvious but you'll notice that sometimes he's
doing like larger jumps to get over enemies compared to like some of the smaller ones
to get underneath some of the dragons that he did just a little'm gonna play this safe.
Yeah, you're getting bullied!
Yeah, it took like one extra hit that I liked there so... And another extra hit compared to what I would have liked
So it was good that I probably
backed that up a little.
This is why he was saving the potion
for this
area right here
yeah so can explain the rng if you want about this
oh so um for the orange in here you want them to be
you don't want him to go all the way
up to the top he would like him to be
just
sort of centered but he okay one second
good
yeah there's a good there we go yes nice
quick kill
nice yeah if you feel that quick kill loses like 15 seconds because he'll go to the top of the screen and you can't reach him
And they'll shoot a bunch of balls that will come on the side of the screen
That kind of looks like...if you've ever Yellow Devil, how it moves in Mega Man.
Like, kinda like that.
That Mega Man one?
Are these the new levels? Starting a new level now?
Exactly.
So thanks to everyone that donated.
Getting to do the extra stages here.
The game would have ended on that previous level on easy
So yeah this is purely normal content
More ceiling content.
Yup! Pretty much.
You seem like that mosh pit of enemies down there
but trying to mess with that.
Oh, that's a little bit better rng dang you got kind
of average luck but i uh miss executed so it could have been a quick kill for
sure but i i jumped too high when they dropped the
other two bombs so
so once again he's just gonna get into the hitbox right there and
getting on purpose good enough you know
decent quick Decent quick jump.
Alright, here we go!
I might have to switch characters. Yeah this is a really scary level.
We're fine.
The laggiest jump ever!
And yeah the end of this level is pretty easy since you just want to run on the ceiling.
Oh my goodness...
Yeah if I die with a mouse in these levels, you permanently lose them until after you beat the final boss.
Unless if you have a potion to revive him once but...
I just love that kill though, that boss is so funny to me yeah mini boss rush pretty much and um
yeah it's like the phase two of all those bosses from the previous levels that i thought so
there we go.
I'm too scared to fall in the pit, honestly!
Oh that ramming attack also is an instant kill so you definitely don't want to get hit by that.
But if he does that ramming attack, because your bombs are exploding
If you misspace your drops sometimes you'll get hit by more of them
So sometimes you can save a site misspace your drops. Sometimes you'll get hit by more of them, so sometimes
you can save a cycle occasionally.
Oh my gosh, I got to
get out of my way!
Oh no! Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, I don't know why that's like inconsistent with my for my
when i'm moving well he spawns on the top instead of the bottom but
uh had me on edge there because uh i didn't want i didn't want the smoke from that guy.
Can I hop in for a quick moment?
Absolutely!
Yeah, I just wanted to let everyone know
that we have a new incentive open
it is a glitch exhibition
for Chibi-Robo later today
you do not wanna miss, get your donations in
we need $10,000 by the end of that lockout bingo race in order to meet that incentive
Also a quick donation just to give you some hype
$50 came from Escapade that says, let's go Ryan!
Less than three. Hey, thanks
Thank you
So this is the final boss named Tykeed
The boss I was talking about like the yellow
devil looking attack
that you didn't get to see.
This is his actual true form
So now you play only
on normal oh my god
he survived with one health phone my gosh
so um there is one more level to play it's like an escape sequence where the
waterfall castle is collapsing so time will be when i
escape this castle and if I don't die it should be like half
a minute or a bit less so
AHHHHH
Bonking ceilings is the worst sometimes
So basically there's not free at this point yeah just letting everyone like chunk
damage instead of a mouse for the most part
yeah since i got uh extra two health oh the wall disappeared time
that was that was a great run. Good job, Ryan.
Oh my gosh!
I heard some homies in the crowd
Yo, I appreciate it everybody.
Honestly, I couldn't explain the lore too well for this game.
I like honestly Google searched it so...
The dragon is a girl and a lot of people think that she's a guy.
But...
She was a human princess that was turned into a dragon through magic.
I don't think the run could have used more spin jumps from little Samson.
Everything spins in this game it's pretty cute i think honestly
but yeah um i have no idea what my end time was for that run
oh wait actually never mind they can look to my left okay 17's not bad uh
by pb i got a pb on friday at 1616 so nice it's not bad um i took
a ton of safety strats here because it was definitely faster than dying.
So played an extra safe.
Okay, I'm pretty happy with that run. My goal is just to try and have like a deathless round if anything so um but yeah definitely having yellow on
the couch uh helping super fun yeah this was such a fun
run to learn and watch yeah hey yeah, if you do want to try
to pick up the run...
Well, if you watch someone's PB
honestly it's like decently
straightforward but I did make a video tutorial
for easy
and normal
for both out of bounds and no out of bounds categories.
So just for any percent, not all stages though.
So you'll find that on my YouTube.
And yeah, all my socials are ryan
underscore ford 522 it's like twitch twitter
and youtube so uh yeah if you wanted to follow there
by all means um i got i play so many different games so it's a pretty random
content on like everything honestly it's like a gacha game i'm like what i'm gonna be doing
it's true and um this time I gotta make sure
to properly thank like
everybody that um because I was
like pushing for uh like a
donation drive to actually make
it out to this run so um yeah
the community from my stream and
also just like friends that I know outside of
like speed running
And even outside of like
the Smash Bros Melee Community helping out
to help get me here and like,
housing costs and all that.
But yeah thank you all very much this time
I remember to proudly shout you all out.
Unlike the AGDQ room, so...
Yeah and here's to the future.
Hopefully we can showcase for y'all again another time but
yeah, throw it back to y'all because
I know that everybody's got to catch up on schedule.
Bye everyone. I think Owlix sums up the last couple of rounds best with their $25 donation they sent in saying,
shout out to Ryan and the Retro Runner
for a fun back-to-back NES showcase.
You all are making my workday so much better.
I fully agree.
Thank you so much

Mega Man X5
Any%.
Oh Oh, hello everybody at GDQ. It's your boy Starwind. Hi!
How you guys doing?
Uh it's kind of nice to be back. This is my fourth appearance at a GDQ, but because of COVID and everything I had two appearances online.
This was my first appearance on stage not being a runner, not on the count since like 2016.
So really good to be back.
So we're going to do X5 80%.
Got my couch here, you guys can introduce yourself.
Go ahead.
Ultra-Uberness.
I run X4, top time on that one.
I know X5 a little bit, but it's a terrible game.
Oh, thank you.
I'm Slippery Ninja.
You may remember me from Mega Man 9?
No.
No.
I don't either, so it's fine.
I'm Starluz?
I mean, Gagas Kluuz?
Hey, that rhymes.
Wow.
All right, so we're going to jump into this.
It's going to be a good time, I promise.
I'll count it down. So get to play as everyone's favorite uh
maverick hunting boy zero get the get that shirt
get that shirt yeah go leave right now, go grab it.
Go grab it.
All right.
I'll come back.
All right, we'll start in three, two, one, go!
Let's go!
So this is Mega Man X5. Everyone hates this game. Yes, apparently. Especially X4 runners.
There's robots and maybe some cowboys, I don't know.
Intro stage is pretty basic just mashing through stuff
there are a lot of text
boxes i think that's one of the main reasons why people like dislike this
game
hey there he is there's guy look he's gonna go
this game is very mission based that's why she always keeps talking all the time
so yeah ah oh my gosh it's a shooting man there's shooting and robots who's that who's that thing
green is that green is it green is a sniper joe
no i wasn't making my knife oh that was
that was shooting
sniper joe that was shooty josh
shooty show you're right you're right
oh smoter i'm awake enough to remember yeah fun fact i did a volunteer shift
and they were like hey you're on them oh yeah
oh man i can't see Oh, man.
I can't see!
What's with the statue?
It'd be shocking if it attacks.
So that was a gap jump.
That's very common in the Mega Man games,
it's very easy to do in this game compared to any super-need ass Mega Man.
Who is that guy?
Oh, that is Bloomin'. His armor broke.
Fun fact if you pick Zero, you don't get the fourth armor
but if you pick X, you don't get
Zero's Buster which I've...
Zero's Buster is useless
and that's a big head
What is with this fascination
with floating heads?
I need him to open mouth, there we go
Feed him he's hungry
Open the mouth please out for the green ball
this is unlikely me with me when no mouth open is that you and robot form right there yeah
don't tell me uh so uh i guess i should explain the category so any percent it's uh this game has a really just played okay there's okay
intellectual version there's a cannon you fire and it fails
because the show you fire it fails well i'm to get off the stage and the next runners can
come up.
But thankfully there's a manipulation that we're gonna do.
I had a plan to do something funny but uh...
I'm not able to play on the Japanese version right now,
so we're doing the English version.
So I have to do a thing.
Who's that?
That's Lady.
Oh no. Bye. So...
Bye. Can you give me a refill?
We're done, the run's over.
I don't know.
Come back sir when You got this man.
Give him applause so he can come back.
Starwind! Starwind! Star Red, star red, star red, star red.
Is it over?
Yeah that was it.
100%.
That was part of the maneuver. 100% ETEs.
That was part of the manipulation, sorry.
The hug manipulation?
Now throw it at him! Didn't I just do this stage?
Oh, there it is.
Was that... It was a little early.
Smidge early.
You have to do it again? Yeah so we we're going to sit here a little bit more.
Hey! Donations! This is a good time.
Do you want to explain what you're doing? No.
That's the magic.
No explanation, only donations.
Give me some donos.
Canon Swim sent in $75 saying,
More Mega Man?
More donations!
Two of the best Mega Man games
in the franchise.
Also for everlasting peace
we leave no one behind.
Take that X4 running.
Hey, we did everlasting peace.
We've done the...
Everlasting peace?
Apparently.
Yeah, look at X5.
That's why X gave up after like 6
He was like yeah I'm gonna pass this now
That's it okay
By that's it, okay. Whatever... I mean, that's it. I did something magic.
Magic?
I greeted the crowd
and that's part of it
Stop this! part of it i feel like that's part of it so there's a uh the reason this category was never in gdq is because uh really low
chance for it to even be successful but this manipulation was
found out forever ago there's a bunch of different methods
my method involves hugging my friends and then
pressing start the power of friendship.
Power of friendship?
We're going to fire the laser.
We're going to fire the laser.
Is it going to work?
If it doesn't work, I'm a fraud.
Oh god. is it gonna work if it doesn't work i'm a frog oh god please work
how many how many percent do you need 85 how many lasers did you find
goodbye colony bye colony that's and then Sigma this
like very similar names? Gear.
Ooh! Green head!
And Lady.
She's like, AHH!
Ah Zero you gotta go like you gotta go fast all right so let's just jump
this to the sigma stages nice so this is kind of like low percent but not really because we're
gonna do something funny later and not be in a low percent kind of area don't you
get it canceled what's the cancel capsule cancel yeah absolutely oh no okay english No. Oh, okay. English?
I don't know what that is.
Also, every song in this game has a vibe.
I don't understand why people are like...
Can you pet the laser?
I mean if you want me to oh my god zero he's chasing okay that's how it is
yeah there's big there's like purple xero viruses flying around
if i touch them, good things will happen
but we won't see that until the next stage.
I don't advise cutting laser.
Laser!
Oh, that one almost got you.
That's sad.
Okay. You guys ready?
We did it. Warning.
This is a W!
What's this guy?
It's stupid ball
I feel attached It's stupid ball. It's smartball, it's smartballs people's smart balls cousins
As a representative of the Smart Ball community The only representative
I see That's good RNG on there because i see you
that's good rng are you hitting his foot an eye spawned on his foot and he was
like i see you and i'm like i see Oh, we're stomping? Oh, we can't do that.
We want to stop.
Shoot the ball!
What?
Move it.
Move it to where?

Underwear.
And under construction.
Also, if you touch that green line, you explode.
Like quite literally.
Spot low! I don't know that great
i'm playing safe i hate when he spawns his eye in the back yep
this is a good jam, though.
Obnoxious Smashing...
Hey! We can read the donation since he's gonna give me this pattern again.

it can't have those spikes.
Alright now you guys get to see all of the fun Mavericks!

Hey Giggis, are those smart balls?
I will consult the smart ball community and get back to you.
There's one of them right there!
Wait, wait, wait, I got a question. Is this ice lift?
No, this is ice.
Bringing it back.
I like how this is his medicine attack
shooting ice cubes at you
So this is probably the hardest boss
in three fights as you can probably tell.
I can R2 straight into spikes and die.
And right here it gets really annoying because he's going to start shooting Ice Blocks at me
but we're just gonna to kind of stay inside
him and damage boosts shark use the iframes i'm dead shark is not happy with this no

hello everyone welcome back to Summer Games Done Quick 2024 powered by Twitch live from Minneapolis. I'm Little Button or Lydia whichever floats your boat and I have the pleasure of being
your host for this next block of content. I cannot explain to you how excited I am
to be your cute little guide here as we raise funds for doctors without borders
Spoiler alert. Oh friends, we have some finger content here for you
But first I want to read a few donations.
We have a $5,000
donation from the
Yeti.
Hey y'all.
Yeti here!
We wanted to share a message from Mary our warehouse manager at Yeti HQ.
As a long-time Yeti employee the pride I feel for GDQ events is immense. It's an incredible
undertaking to highlight and celebrate speedrunners while simultaneously
raising funds for such worthy organizations.
As the generous donations roll in,
we will be busy at our HQ printing and shipping
lots of exciting merch for folks!
We are thrilled AND humbled to be a small part of what these GDQ events have come
to stand for. Thank you so much, the Yeti, and thank you all of you out there for buying some
Yeti merch!
Next, we have a wonderful donation from MDLatQP from md lat qp for 25 morning y'all and happy tuesday gdq fam
get those donuts in and they added a cute little incentive note make sure y'all are putting
some donations towards that chibi robo glitch showcase we need to reach $10,000 for that and it looks like
we are just over twenty five hundred dollars 27% of the way there. We can do
it I believe.
And looks like its time to party! We have our next fabulous
run ready for you to watch with wide
eyes and wonder. Colonel Fatso will be sliding around Mega
Man 4 any percent, over to Colonel Fatso.
I am going to be playing Mega Man 4 for you all today.
With me I have three commentators.
Hi, I'm Papatot1 Hi, I'm Papat.1.
Hi, I'm DarkTarix. And I'm MadMega.
Awesome.
We're going to go real soon here, just in
3, 2,
1, go!
Woo! Alright, so the 3, 2, 1, go.
Alright so the first boss in this game is Pharaoh Man The alternative is you could do Brightman
first but Pharaoh Man
is a little bit faster for reasons that we'll explain in time.
This is mostly going to be run about using fairly aggressive strats, not really holding too much back
But I'm gonna start by using one of the safest strats in the game, just
to make sure that I get the balloon.
The balloon's pretty important. There are several stages coming up we're going
to want to have before...
Oh look at that! Hey, look at that! I get to show off the cool thing
with it where Rush comes and
catches you if you take damage. He just warps
to your position. Good boy
Rush. Yeah.
Good boy in this context for sure
So now we have a balloon that's going to take us
to the checkpoint of this level and so we skip
a couple screens that would have been prior to it yeah
it then ends up being basically a wash versus not taking it
okay kill these guys to reduce lag.
Not this time. There's an advanced strat to save like a half second
there by sliding across the spikes, but it hadn't been going
well in practice so I cut it.
And we're gonna...
The rest of this thing is a lot of managing the lag, trying to get the balloons offscreen at
the right times. Killing these mummy rose.
We're not even necessarily firing three shots at once or charging at all times.
We are minimizing some of that to reduce lag as well because the game lags when you're charged so
So fair man, we want him to get to the center and then not move
Oh no come on
That's good enough.
That's even better.
Just don't do anything else?
Of course.
What a jerk!
So, here we're going to try and line up the pixel
I'm trying to get a frame,
not frame perfect, pixel-perfect positioning so that
you just get teleported up into the center right away
and on a couple of stages
where you can get a bit more verticality
you can skip half of that cutscene as well
all right so we got pharaoh and which is an excellent weapon but we also got the balloon
which was going we're gonna show off how good
the balloon is pretty soon here
i always love this sequence here where you're turning lights on and off based upon whether your shooting the fireworks, or the brighter light bulbs.
And then all these grasshoppers have two different jump heights that they can do, a short and
long. We're hoping for long most the time
okay smash yeah kill that guy uh i just don't want to be taking damage because
there's a lot of damage coming up
that's bad okay all right we're good everything's fine yeah no problem
like it never even happened okay here we go I didn't make it.
Oh,
I didn't make it even.
That sucks.
Oh well.
You still got the show and like one more round. It sucks. The idea is that you skip all the grasshoppers there, and it's much faster but it's okay
i'm just gonna be nice and cautious here
this is the alternative that we skipped or were trying to skip.
Mostly been lucky here.
Yeah, pretty good grasshopper jumps.
Not too bad there.
Alright, and then the moving platforms on this last screen
feel a lot more dangerous than they actually are if you're just
holding right the whole time
You kinda clip up you walking against the edge it generally
just picks you up as you're walking across uh if you do not jump before you reach the edge
uh then you do fall off but as long as you jump before it stops moving
then you're totally fine.
Alright so we are going to use
the charge shot properties
of Pharaoh to make this boss a little faster than the buster would have been
so you can see that when uh the pharo above Fatsa's head, he can do damage to Bright and then fire the charge shot immediately after.
You might have also noticed I was doing the shots in a very specific pattern.
That's just to make sure that I avoid all of the flash stopper usages,
which happen at 16, 8 and 4 HP for Brightman.
We just hit $3,000. Almost $4,000 towards that Chibi-Robo Glitch Exhibition incentive!
Boom! That's good.
Awesome.
All right, ring man stage we're going to see the other way in which balloon is good, you can use it to climb very quickly in these vertical sections.
Yeah the beginning of this stage isn't very vertical so so try to reduce what lagging you can.
I'm trying to sneak through this gap here...
Oh no!
You'll notice that you put put balloon inside of a wall and it leaves right away.
You have about 8 frames to jump off if its positioned correctly, so we use that in many places throughout the room.
We're going to be skipping all these mini-bosses, we don't want to fight them.
Best time. Yeah putting the balloon into
wall saves some time on lag as well.
Despawns a lot quicker.
Ooh!
Alright, well we fought one miniboss for the fans.
I mean that one you have to fight anyway.
Technically?
Yeah technically.
Just passively fight it.
Alright.
This is like mildly shaky but we should be fine
that's not enough
no frame perfect mistake.
I'm still fired.
Yeah, so because I don't have enough health I'm gonna have to turn around and wait for this guy to fire instead of just sliding through.
Easy...
Yeah, many things have different damage values based on contact versus their attacks
And that's especially present in the bosses
Contact damage on this game is super high
All the Roblox masters except for Pharaoh do 8 damage on contact
I just wanted to point out here that there's a bunch of faces in the center of the screen.
Yeah, check out that line of faces across the sort of middle...
Tag yourself. across the sort of middle. Tie yourself? Yeah.
I'm face number four.
I like number two, face one.
I'm this face right here. Yeah.
Alright, now we're going to dust man another very difficult stage. There aren't too many straight up easy stages in this game but uh
definitely the first four stages you're kind of running
the gauntlet of some of the hardest stuff the game can draw you.
Faces on the conveyor belts there, by the way.
And we're in the patented room of lag. The screen is very laggy,
We are trying to make sure that we hit every enemy pretty close
To when they spawn in and that we hope hope they don't give any drops.
That was too early.
Totally fine.
The big thing is hitting them before they split
If they split, they'll leave something behind and that will cause
lots of lag.
Now we've got the Crusher.
And for this
green, we're just trying to hit a very particular cycle.
You can speed up a little bit...
I gotta wait.
Okay, yeah that's fair.
Okay. Cycle.
This whole screen is a base
if you notice there's a whole bunch of faces down in the bottom right here yeah
they'll continue for the rest of the stage
they're all over continue for the rest of the stage
they're all over they're all over man so many can't unsee
there's a pretty good one on the bottom right here yeah shout out to Roberto. He's crazy! He's crazy. He's also on fire so you know...
Maybe things didn't work out well for him.
Good luck there.
Yeah, and the big thing to avoid is getting more
like vacuums than you have health to absorb. And when he does his
suck pattern you can force him out of it
by running into him taking damage
but again its 8 health per
time that you stop that so
uh...you quickly run out of HP.
Mega has a maximum of 28 HP
so you can only do
that three times at full health before
you're out, so very
limited deboosts there.
So here's the beginning of Skull. We're going to see Very limited B-boosts there.
Here at the beginning of Skull, we're gonna see I think the only Zip that's in this game.
The only practical Zip. There you go. practical zip.
There we go.
Every single time.
Yeah, every single time.
Nobody's ever
missed it.
Alright. This is a very fun stage, there's a lot of balloon usage to just climb up things really quickly.
Yeah. Get extra slide time and
get around enemies. Hello!
And then for the end of the stage, we're going to be utilizing the Flash Topper.
We'll see how powerful it is just to get through every enemy, The enemies that would normally be immune from the back, they have no immunity when you have Flash Stopper active.
Yeah. Flash Stopper is normally meant to last like 5 seconds or something like that, but the timer doesn't run down when you're sliding.
So because we are sliding a lot, we functionally have the entire screen to do whatever we want.
Yeah, this weapon is one of the most impressive weapons in the series.
Incredibly powerful.
And then Skull Man reacts to what you do.
If you don't anything when you enter this fight
You just have a stare down so they
eat death of the universe uh but we're gonna force him over here nice quick shield he was too quick
oh i'm paying the price.
You have to be... For the short pattern there, you have to
be extremely precise
or else you might end up getting a second shield.
There's a face in the left corner.
I don't see it.
What are we talking about? the left corner i'm not sure about that one okay Okay.
Next up is Diveman stage.
Diveman's the water stage.
Who knew? You can't normally jump out of your slide to cancel it, you
jump straight onto this slide right? Underwater you cannot do that As well as under a couple
of other random conditions
like if your behind a foreground tile
or
uh, if your intersecting a ladder
I think both the ladder and water
counts as four down tiles, do they not? No
They don't. They're different things
but they have the same effect on slides
And he almost smashed that down while he was talking.
So there's a mini boss of a whale that's supposed to spawn there.
What's more great, Papat?
I'll give it like a C+.
Got the Mega Man 6 master here so he's gonna... I'll give that like a C+.
Got the Mega Man 6 Master here, so he's gonna rate my slide cancels.
That one was pretty good.
Unfortunately it didn't do the thing it was for, but like never punished.
Alright one more of these whales. Nice!
Wow!
Pat has got a crazy good double mash set up for the
whales. So down that hole there is the other utility weapon in the wire and it unfortunately has no use
My favorite screen every single slot is a different timing
i just mash i hold down the mask you can't honestly like the biggest
challenge in megaman 4 like that's how you know you're good at mega man 4
as if you can beat mashing with time slide.
Oh, man!
Just get to show off the dust back up.
Nice! That is the other half of
a skip that you can do. It's possible only on Pharaoh or Dive, for humans anyways
if your a TAS you could just take a balloon up to the middle there on any stage.
Alright, down at Drillman...
Drillman's pretty straightforward. We probably have some time for donations here.
Awesome!
I have a $25 donation from GuyNextDoor717.
Hey, GND.
Hey there it's GND.
Best of luck on the Mega Man 4 run!
Love to see more and more Mega Man runs,
Mega Man games shown off at GDQ.
Much love to everyone in the Mega Man community
as they have always been so helpful
To help guide me in my Mega Man speedruns
Much love to Colonel Faxo and everyone on the couch
MadMega, Peapod
and Little. Thank you!
Sorry I couldn't make it this time to SGDQ
rooting you on from home
your loving neighborhood GND
Let's gooo! Pew pew pew neighborhood GND. Let's go! Pew pew pew!
Thanks, GND. Do we have time for one more?
Yeah. We have a $250 donation from
McGrino. Is this
Mega Man or Chibi-Robo?
These sprites are so cute I can
hardly tell! Putting this toward that
chibirobo glitch exhibition
so we all see more of whatever that is.
And we are so, so close
to $4500 towards
that glitch exhibition.
We only need 10k. We can do this
folks. Let's go!
Yeah, so that stage was uh thank you by the way but that stage was mostly dominated by using this flash stopper the final screen is
actually a nice test of your slide abilities.
If you're movement is good,
You won't have to reapply the Flash Stopper
So here we have real Diveman
Don't you dare. There he goes!
Whenever he does that, you can just jump five times and space out when he comes back down.
Oh no!
Alright. Jumps are good.
No!
Oh, no!
Yeah, so a lot of the bosses in this game
you can sort of manipulate
to be slightly more in your favor.
If you're standing close to them, they
more often do the thing that you want them
to do, which is not be
jerks. But
there's still a chance that they could be a jerk.
Dive man, drill man drill man jerk is the natural state of omega-man four boss yep i just wanted to point out there wasn't really any faces
in that stage so you know unfortunately it's a notable fact about the stage.
All right.
We made it.
I don't need to use the password I prepared for a
mismenu there. So this is another kind of flash stopper stage.
It's probably time for one donation before we talk again.
Awesome! We have a $10 donation
from The Flux.
You must recover all the energy
immediately. W Mega Man.
Mega Man? There's a lot of duck faces in the wall here. Yeah, it kind of tends to move around these waterfalls.
You can get sucked down by those downward waterfalls, even if you
get your jump.
Here we're going to flash the mini-bosses and that
actually prevents them from stopping you from moving
so you can just keep going and skipping them.
If you let them complete their beam in,
then they will stop you so it's actually
kind of time sensitive.
One more?
And then the last green just...
Solid movements, get through, kill the two happyfish.
How was that cancel?
That's pretty good! I would say that was like an A, fair name on this.
Yeah, that was pretty good.
Good pause.
B plus on the pause.
You paused early there because it'll start introducing Toadman instantly, whereas if I didn't open the menu.
Or if I didn't open the menu, then it would wait until I hit the floor before
introducing
the boss?
Whenever you normally land on the ground, you have a sticky feet animation where you get stuck.
Doing that in midair with the bosses where they...
You have to land on the ground,
kind of starts that early for them to spawn in quicker.
On your face there.
This castle is like made of faces.
Yeah, it's all faces here, yes.
Two eyes on the green with
a door mouth.
And then also the eyes themselves, if you turn them upside down that's a face
The side thing there like this a little sign in the ball. Yeah. Yeah people signed to the ball
That's a face if you turn it sideways
Shout-out to the bent top of the tree there
still windy we hit that 5 000 halfway point on the glitch exhibition
in santa Exhibition incentive? Oh, I don't think so.
No.
OK.
So these are the Cossack stages.
They're...
Oops.
Oh jeez, alright.
I'm a little bit low on health that's mildly worrisome. them.
I'm knocking these guys down so I can pass them. Oh, and then I kill this one.
No health.
Alright. Well, well...
We use balloon to get out the rest of this.
Yeah, the uh...
Most of the stage is ice physics.
It doesn't really matter too much if you're just going through as quickly as you can
But if you do end up stopping somewhere, it can be a little bit troublesome in a couple spots. I
Don't like this.
No real way to get that guy,
I don't even know how many shots it takes
It might have been just four rings or whatever
Anyways...
We'll be good The whole base of this stage, or the spider here is a face. So why is it really long?
No thoughts on that head. Especially after the whole one is out.
We probably got time for one donation. Perfect! We have a hundred dollar donation from Makasuro shout out to fatso
from all of us in the tribes three rivals comp community we love to see you moving fast, whether that be speedrunning Mega Man or running cap routes within Tribes 3.
Thanks Maka! Uh yeah the Tribes 3 capture of the flag RTS...
Sorry, FPS played in teams.
Ooh! This is kind of interesting.
Check it out.
I can't say any more
without possibly dying.
So There's a lot of balloon usage in this stage.
Yeah, this is the last heavy balloon usage stage.
You get to skip by a these enemies without taking damage.
Not taking damage is a good thing, uh...
I recommend you don't do that, it's not good for your health. That's kind of a little face there.
Another big face, it's like very wide open mouth.
If you look up above they're kind of like screaming. There's a big face. It's like very wide, open mouth. Yeah, the green mouth, yeah.
If you look up above they're kind of screaming.
They're all screaming because
they know about Square Machine.
Hey!
How bout a three right away?
Yeah so Square machine can pass by
3 times 2 times or 1 time
uh...the best
luck is to get the one pass
but it's also the lowest
percent chance to happen. It's a one in eight.
Taking damage on purpose there just to control when it happens,
uh because otherwise... Oh how about that? Let's go!
Let's do three and two is the most common isn't it uh yeah
all right All right.
Everything with the plan, it's also the Nintendo Switch machine because
It comes in three pieces which we've established every
Three-piece box can be turned into a uh
nintendo switch it's a new shape yeah
the new fundamental shape, right?
I'll have to speak to the geometry community or whatever.
So this is Kossak number 3 now.
This is the aut-scroller.
Probably have time for some donations
in here as we go through.
Awesome!
I have a $25
donation from Cynthia Steiner.
Had to donate during a Mega Man game, just joined the Discord
Looking forward to finally learning the speedrun after playing casually for 30 years inspiring people out here with this run we have a 10 donation
from johnny von tungel if this tb rowbo glitch exhibition isn't met i'll be stuck feeling the teriyaki blues
let's get this goal net and spread the happiness.
Time for one more?
Yep.
We have Cream of Leech donating $10.
Here's $10 from my favorite blue bomber.
$25
from Ellen.
Can we get a train going for the
Chibi Robo Glitch Exhibition?
Chugga chugga chibi!
Alright, so this All right. So the second data scroller has some little bit more interesting things going on, mostly just because we want to have those moving platforms off screen as much
as possible.
There's a certain rhythm to things.
Yes, there is a certain rhythm
to things inspired by a tutorial that our good friend Prezi
made.
All right. It's not here yet
it's the next set all right all you do is
it's a perfect tutorial.
It makes sense to me
We had the audience do it. Quick learners.
It's intuitive, what are you doing?
Because this run isn't that bad, we'll do the moonwalk.
Ay!
Just hold left in that cutscene.
This is a very interesting fight because you utilize
a lot of both parts of pharaoh and then get a double hit here on the second roach.
Excellent, nice center kill! Okay. Excellent.
Nice center kill.
It's in the good zone.
I don't think we mentioned that,
in Mega Man 4 you want to kill bosses towards
the center based on how the lag works in it versus like five and six you
want to kill them at the corners yeah that's because the game won't proceed until all of
the explosion bubbles are off screen so even though it's laggier to kill in the middle,
it's still faster overall.
Okay, shout out to this route
that doesn't actually make any sense.
See you're mostly going sideways, not down.
So here we're gonna store a charge up
and I'm gonna pause, switch to ballooned.
That charge is stored
and will come back as soon
as I go back to Buster.
The only way to lose that charge
is to fire a Buster-esque, Buster like weapon.
So as long as we
just use balloon and drill here
you will still have that charge
shot available. Even if you summon
Rush but don't shoot a rushbuster it
still works.
And we're going to use it to save like...a few frames of lag here
by letting the
charge kill the Slinky
instead of the second part of the bomb explosion.
All right.
Probably one donation
while we fight Cossack.
Awesome. we have ElegantFube
donating to MSF with $50
It's time for the Lemon Block
Pew pew! Good luck Colonel! Thanks for the Lemon Block. Pew pew! Good luck, Colonel!
Thanks for the luck.
Alright so Dr. Cossack will move horizontally and vertically
Vertically you can't really control the movement but if you're sliding
he will not move horizontally
so I'm just kind of
leaving him here for now because he's in a good spot
I'm going to start
moving over soon
That was actually very good I'm going to start moving over soon.
That was actually very good, extremely good yeah.
It's gonna get covered up but there was a face on the bottom right?
Yeah...
Two long eyes.
I mean I see four faces right there.
That is a lot of faces.
Alright so this is Dr. Wily
he is gonna do the eyebrow thing of course
you don't be Dr. Wiley and not do the eyebrow thing
here we've got the wily castle and we're about to go into the first
wiley stage uh oh there's a face right there at the
doorway i never saw that like this the main door which is obviously
a phase but then there's the side door which has just two slit eyes and then yeah
all right we got time for one donation probably
thank you we have a donation from Anonymous with $25.
Love the great cause and the great speedruns, love from Norway!
Alright my favorite screen.
Yep, this screen's very good.
Nice. Excellent!
You kill those two with a...kill one of them with an early shot and then that gives you enough time to charge up for the big guy.
Also, let's go Mets.
Let's go Mets.
Stages all Mets.
Shout out to Mr. Cab.
Well better to go too low than
too high there.
Yeah sure.
If you pause against these spikes
and then don't hold right out of the menu,
you die.
That's happened to me exactly
one time, and I
will not let it happen again.
Never again.
So we don't have balloon anymore,
we're all out of ammo so Rush Jet
will have to suffice for vertical movement.
Alright nice, good to have full health here.
We have the metal daddy
or metropolitan daddy
out here.
Laughter Mr. Shot, so this is my Mega Man 3 roots showing to get a hit on every cycle. Oh, that's easy.
I wasn't worried at all.
Definitely weren't showing signs of worry at that exact moment
now let's see if there's any other faces we can find here the top right there's a guy with like
a big nose oh yeah okay yeah that's face ask it's a good face yeah it's almost like a sniper joe
oops you knew a micro slide there but i missed Oops. I missed it. How could you? Probably not pressing A.
Oh, that's generally how it works.
Those single blocks are like sideways faces.
Alright we're gonna use Jinn again here...
Little jump over the spine more sideways faces. This whole room is a face, it's got two eyes
and one single block. Big ol' nose.
Alright, we've probably got time for one donation.
Awesome! I have a donation from MohawkMawShur towards MSF. $25, long time viewer first-time donator absolutely love watching these amazing runners absolutely break
these games in the speediest of ways.
Thank you to everyone who makes SGDQ
what it is, putting this donation
towards the Chibi Robo incentive
and to have Them Chef
The True Chef in Mass Effect 2.
Thank you so much for that donation.
That corner jump was for you, Adeph.
Yeah, speaking of chefs.
And this job I'm'm sorry Chilney.
If you're there in the audience. There's a face right there and two eyes
and now if there is a second one as we transition. Oh yeah, I see that.
In this fight we uh... I see that.
In this fight we cause the fight to start immediately by firing
a rain cloud. You know why?
Yeah, probably.
So you can get rid of the hurtbox
of Taco Trash by firing the drill into it.
It's a little faster to not use the drill, but
it trivializes it.
Yeah, makes it a lot safer to get by.
You can just stand in his hitbox and be completely safe.
One of the fun quirks about this game is that
in the castle bosses if you die
don't go back to the Castle Boss checkpoint.
There is no Castle Boss checkpoint. You go back to the mid-checkpoint which is very far away.
Very unforgiving?
Yeah. So we're just gonna stay safe here.
I have 15...I need at least 4 more ammo,
so I'm going to take 2, I think, here. That'll give me three spares.
Oh! I took three. Alright, I got all the ammo in the world now.
Easy every time right? It's actually very tight to get past that.
So we took that ammo because for going into the boss free fights
I need a lot of ring and basically all the ammo
that we have left is gonna be spent more or less on this stage.
This is a slightly updated refight route versus the last time you might've seen it.
The idea is that you save a little bit of movement
with this route but it oh my god are you kidding me i'm gonna take out I'm going to take health on the next boss.
You can manipulate Toad to be in any position you want, so...
He's a hard boss.
I can't imagine dying
to him.
I don't think anyone has ever died
to Toad. No, I certainly have never died to Toad, man.
I didn't do it right, but I just...
adjusted. We're good.
So here I'm going to go through and take a charge shot
then go to the wall, shoot again.
Yeah do some of the... like
shoot from far away to get the charge shot
to happen a little bit quicker
relative to his eye frames.
That's because we don't have a whole lot of dust ammo, so you save
a pair of best shots by doing that strat and that's basically what allows this
alternative free fight route to make sense Yeah with the old routing you would
collect some extra dust ammo and you would start on
barrow instead so uh, you have to kind of figure out a way
to manage your lower dust ammo.
Yeah, because it actually misses Flash Stalker so you don't use that
cause it only takes half health and takes a long time to actually take down.
Alright,
so yeah, the goal of the refight is kind of different from the goal
in the Robot Master stages.
Like, you don't want to be in the center,
you wanna be on the left side.
So it kinda changes things somewhat
and also having access to different weapons.
So for example I'm gonna hit
do five hits here
and then switch Okay.
Jumping boy! One more?
Nice! For the fans.
And then Drill Man you can hit right away with the Rain Flush. Deals one damage, which is nice because Dive Missile deals three damage to him so you would have to deal the one extra somewhere i can't count
would have been helpful the first time around yeah
there it goes! Nooo!
I'm actually going to take this health.
Out of an abundance
of caution here
Here we go.
Alright, so there's this boss which is like native faces
Yeah, it's like fun home game or count them up
There's the screen face next to the purple fire in the back,
sideways.
Put him down to 1 HP and swap
the drill to skip the health refill animation and get
the double hit on the next cycle here.
Saves quite a bit of time.
Huge time save with just a quick weapon switch.
Anyone use Rainflush here?
If you use Rainflush, then you do kill Wily.
Yeah, 90%.
You finish faster.
You end softlock and don't reach the credits.
It's stuck there forever.
Just live in an empty vault room.
So this is a final stage, all it consists of
is a short hallway and then a fight with Wily Capsule
The only concern
is ammo
there are only two weapons that hit
Wily Capsule
one of them I don't have any ammo in really.
So it's gonna be a fun time. All right.
Again, switch early.
And we're hoping for double spot.
Time is on the death of the boss, by the way.
No chance there... I'm looking for a couple hits but...
Oh jeez! I didn't even get a single hit there that sucks
all right let's get a double to finish this nope Nope.
Time, time.
One last face there on the computer. Actually like six or seven different faces
on the computer. Yeah, there's
a big main one there.
There are two dots on the side, it is kind of a sideways
face. Like a fish right?
Kind of a goofy face there on the top...
Yeah.
...like kind of middle-right there.
Anyone submit any screenshots of game faces to Game Faces on Blue Sky.
All right. Thank you very much to Papaw and Terixx and MadMega for commentary.
Thanks for watching everybody!
Thanks to the Mega Man community, thanks to the tribes' community.
See you guys around.
Thank you so much.
What an absolutely mesmerizing run. Thank you so much Fatso and the couch for this stellar showcase, can we have another round of applause for that amazing run.

Janice Price.
$10 towards MSF.
Long time viewer,
first time donator!
I started watching
SGDQ 2014 so it's been
10 full years. Used to watch this for almost 20 hours daily during that summer
i wish i had that energy or free time as i did when i was young
thank you for the amazing shows and speed runs
and Welcome back everyone from that break.
Welcome, welcome, welcome!
As someone still fighting my horse squirrel allegations, I will neither confirm nor deny
my excitement when I heard Sunset Riders was riding horses and not motorized vehicles.
And it's co-op?
What a dream! Jake Rock
and Space Coast Gaming will be
taking us along for a ride
as they beat the game Co-Op on Normal Mode.
Show us how it's done you two, take it away!
Howdy SGDQ I'm Jake Rock
And howdy partners i am
space coast gaming
uh... when we get together to play co-op games we like the call ourselves
Space Rock
and so we assemble once again here at GDQ. We're so excited to show off this game, Sunset Riders,
a faithful port from the arcade game
which is in the arcade here if you're at GDQ
make sure you check it out.
It's a gem for sure.
Before we get going though,
I'd like to introduce our couch or let them introduce
themselves. S Takako, friend of
Jake and Space Coast for quite a while
now and long time watcher of this game.
Yeah, and I'm Johnny Goh, also a friend of Jake and Space.
Sometimes we do other co-ops.
Yeah that's right. We love
co-op.
Again we're glad to show it off here.
We're going to be doing normal mode.
It does level up the difficulty a little bit on co-op
from the standard single player
normal mode, so you'll
start to see that with the speed of the bullets
and everything else. Time's going to start when I
select my character, we're gonna do that
in 3...2...
1...let's rock!
Alright
everybody's favorite boss right here guys.
And if you know the catchphrases please by all means say them as we go.
That's a fun start but But nonetheless, we'll get there.
That's a good start.
Yeah, that's two in a row man.
These outlaws are batting 100 right now.
Alright this could be a little dicey to set up
the first glitch that we want to try...
We're gonna see if we get it or not...
Okay he ran with it.
Unfortunately The explosions in this game do a lot of weird things.
We were trying to set up a glitch that would have changed all of the color sprites
of these bulls to blue which we call Blue Bulls.
Very inventive name there but unfortunately
we missed that so... Here's another trick from downtown!
Alright got him.
So the gist of this game is really to stay on the right side
as long as we're past the halfway point of this screen here
Skagit's going to keep on rolling that's what we want to do um you can all
you know for the most part just kind of roll through here but there's a few places we got
to watch out enemy bullets are are gonna catch up to us.
Very important here,
We got some leapfrog action.
That's right.
It's good stuff.
You do see them collecting those sheriff badges?
The silver one gives him a second gun, and the gold one
gives them auto-fire, which are
pretty helpful later.
Gotta love a little bit of leapfrog in the middle
of a bounty collect here.
Alright, here's Greedwell again if you know the
catchphrases feel free to shout them out
So for this boss we're just
setting up trying to shoot down these barrels
and then be in position position just hit him with
the bullets till he's dead. I'm so, I'm so disciplined here. Here's
the catchphrase... bury me with my money.
Or donate it to GDQ.
That's right.
This took place before GDQ, so
if Greedbill would have
been in the era of GDQ, would have said donate my money to doctors without
borders which would have been a great voice clip
all right hawkeye hank we get to start out on horseback on this stage and I think we've got some time for a couple of horse jokes maybe? To start off this level? Little Button do you have a few for us oh yeah we do let's go
which side of the horse has the most hair what's that? The outside.
The outside, yeah
That does make sense
What else we got?
Let's do one more What kind of bread does a horse eat? Bread does a horse eat uh
I got nothing. What have we got? Thoroughbred!
i like that one.
Alright, we got some more of those later maybe
Let's do a couple donations in here while we do this train section here.
Absolutely! We have a donation from Nathan for $25, I love TV Robo, I just want to be small and help people.
We are so close
to that 6000 mark
for the TV
Robo Glitch Exhibition.
Can we get past
that by the end of this awesome section here I think
we can absolutely
all right so this is an autoscroller if you haven't picked up on it.
There's nothing we can do in this stage to make it go faster.
We can take intentional deaths,
kill enemies at a different pace or something like that
to try to manipulate
a global timer. We've tried it
It doesn't work
So we're just going to let
the train roll through here.
Let's get some horse jumping in there.
Oh yeah, there we go!
So sick when they are synced.
Anything that looks like a horse? Oh yeah! So sick when they're synced. Aiming the level was just horsin' around.
There it is. No horsin' around with this boss though, this is
Hawkeye Hank big Big time RNG on
this guy as long as he's hiding behind the boxes up there
He's invulnerable to us we can't hit him
he has to stand up so we're hoping that Hank
stands up a lot here early and often.
They're also going to be jumping in shooting quite a bit, just so they can get higher DPS
If Jake dies when he jumps you gotta make fun of him yeah that's true
there you go i'll take a death for you
i'll take another one all right i think that was a good way to go there.
Okay, wasn't terrible.
Alright, you got me!
I heard it, let's go!
I love it!
Keep it up!
We are keeping track of Dano here too.
So we've prepared a little something,
we have a bonus stage coming up
and we're going to get bossed into it right now.
Hello there FGTQ! right now hello there sgtq it's really good to see you let's have fun
on this run we're gonna have a fun time right now so oh my goodness that was absolutely fantastic!
Can we have another round of applause and some hype in the chat?
Oh my goodness.
Wait were we supposed to be shooting people this whole time?
Missed them all.
You know what, there's another bonus game later in the game.
We'll try again.
We got it next time.
Alright but first we go to Dark Horse.
Dark horse is a fun level that can be stressful, so I'm full here.
So you're going to do two shots and then the job.
Yep.
Okay.
We have to remind ourselves sometimes of what we're doing here.
Dan starting off with lots of sliding getting ahead of the halfway mark
to get the screen kind of scrolling by itself.
We're going to let space pick up the silver there.
That was a little close there!
I've had a few close calls here, but we are getting through it!
So the thing with space hitting that guy is
um i think we're gonna walk this yeah we're gonna walk through some fire and
flames here there we go
i just took a header into that barrel
it's really unfortunate uh space why don't you fill up here
I think that's the best idea
I'm going to slide forward here.
It's a little bit of meme for us
to have trouble with this run
because of me jumping,
that is kind of the meme at this point.
But Billy does most of the damage on this boss anyway, so that's why we split up that at the end there like that.
I'm gonna go right up top and clear out some of these window guys.
Is there time for a couple donations here?
Yeah, I think we can get a few in here.
Okay, we have code alpha for $200.
How can you not donate after hearing that
Rootin' Tootin' Campfire song?
Let's go!
We're gonna set up in the corner here and just... goodbye Dark Horse.
Oh, we might be in big trouble coming up here!
Yeah, no I think we got some long faces after that fight. That's right.
A little Dark Horse joke
for you there.
So coming up is
the Smith Bros. This is just a boss battle
and unfortunately we don't have our full power-ups, there's a quick kill and nip that we can do if we're both fully powered up
but because I squashed that for us, we're just gonna low percent here and see what happens
we gotta dodge some bombs and we gotta dodge some uh some fire throwing going on
here from these guys all right and there's a swinging chandelier to cap it off
just make things worse all right so first we gotta take these guys out on the chandelier
we're gonna get up there and try to do as much damage as we can without getting blasted.
That guy's running around longer than he normally does.
I'm gonna kill the guy on the left first.
Waiting for my entrance again there.
Pause of shame, that was a
I'm gonna nip there
The bombs are really rough.
We're going to take this guy out here and get the left guy.
Once the first one dies, they kind of enrage
do slightly different things. And the fire ones enraged save a little bit easier.
Okay! All right. There we go. Thank you.
Thank you, partner.
All right.
This game's got a lot of charm.
One of the things I love about this game is the little cutscenes that you get,
and we're going to get one here.
If you guys need to stand up or stretch out a little bit, dance out,
you can just follow the movements we've got up here.
I love doing this during runs, you know?
Just kinda...
You just stretch it out a little bit
you know?
I'm in love with this dance here.
Alright, so we just learned that the big bad is Sir Richard Rose and he's got three henchmen that we've gotta take out to follow him around. So first up is El Greco, this
is all on a train so we're gonna just keep on keep this train rolling here.
And again, we're not going to be able
to fill up fully on
power-ups here.
So the idea is going to be
for space to get full.
He's going to have two
that he can collect.
Okay, we should be good here.
We do got a dotty. There's a little hop there. These big wood logs.
Oh nice sliding!
Nice sliding!
Woo, there we go!
So there's a
manip on El Greco
hopefully get him to jump
on the edge of the logs by us here and we can get a quick kill
oh yes there we go All right. Very good!
I'm glad one of these bosses decided to
cooperate, let's go.
Alright... So next up Alright.
So next up we've got Wigwam
Chief Wigwam and the first
We have a shot at it let's go
let's get some donations in while we try to take uh these
uh enemies out here oh man oh geez nope okay yeah all right
donation time for sure they are loving Okay. Yeah. Alright, donations out!
For sure we- they are loving you in the donations
We have a $20 donation from Samus
Most fun stream for me so far.
I know nothing about this game,
but Space Coast Gaming and Jake Brock
have truly been a delight.
Thanks, partner!
Thank you, partner.
And folks, make sure when you're scrolling down putting those donations just scroll all the way to the bottom and put it towards that Glitch Exhibition TV Robo Incentive!
We are almost at $6,400 out of that 10,000.
And we would love to be able to hit it. It's going to be so cool!
We did 100% better last time.
You hear that? You hear that little ding?
That was a time loss right there.
That's why we don't shoot guys at the bonus stage.
That cost us a handful of frames.
We're going to be okay I think.
So let's go for Wigwam here.
Alright up... Oh my god!
You got a vertical platforming section here
That guy was unfortunate
Okay
Now we're still okay this is looking okay because I came in with at least at
least a gold star here there's no definitely one gold star that you can
collect into the stage, but I'm gonna let him get
that one.
And I am going to get this one coming up right here.
So you do get a little bit of iframes when you pick up your special power.
So that's why you see Jake just run straight through those boulders there.
Okay, I'm going to jump down with this one.
All right.
Both are fully powered up.
And we are ready to go for Big Bomb.
Okay, this is
another big RNG boss. This guy...
If you've played this game, you know how tough this guy can be.
Either it goes good or just doesn be. It goes good or it just doesn't?
That's what they want to see is him
slashing on the ground like that.
More of that, more they could just...
Okay, that was fantastic! One of us taking the death on that one is exactly what we want um very
happy with that we won't shoot him any more than already but you know we won't shoot them again.
Alright, we're about to come up to another autoscroller here guys.
We can let you take it away there uh and give us some more donations
oh for sure we have tons of jokes make sure that you're donating
your jokes can we get a five dollar train here with some horse jokes i'm
ready to read them dashnear is starting it off with a five dollar donate
donation what do you call the horse living next door
your neighbor We have a $25.00 from MSF for the first day of school, a group
of students meets their new teacher
It's a horse! They find it
so funny that they laugh and laugh
and no matter how much the horse yells
he can't get them to pay attention. So one day
the horse brings in a tiny little pony who shouts PAY ATTENTION!
And the kids quiet down. The moral of the story is that
if your students don't pay attention sometimes
you have to yell and yell until you get a little hoarse
it took me a while to figure out where that was going good job
good job on that one i'm glad it came around time for another donation sure
let's do one more 25 from small man says you in keep big trouble if you don't get that
TV robo glitch expedition incentive unlocked
let's go folks we can get it, we're almost at 6500 now
so there is a short
platforming, technically I guess
section after the auto-scroller here
and they wait to kill these guys
with bombs.
If they kill them on the right side of the screen with the bombs. I knew that was going to be tight. You're okay.
If they kill him on the right side of the screen,
the bombs will go off and kill him there as well.
We almost kept that scrolling all the way through.
Yeah, that wasn't bad.
I knew that bullet was going to be tight when I saw it.
Alright, I'll take out the...I'll take Paco.
Okay. I'm on tree beauty. So there's
guys in a tree that are throwing some bombs
We're gonna- Oh! We're gonna get blown up
by that? That's fine. We're going to hopefully get that guy.
Sometimes though they don't even spawn you just have the boss himself.
Oscar LeBar! That's my favorite line in the game, it's just ridiculous.
Look at Paco Loco! Come on!
You can't help him, brother.
He is doing his best.
Alright... He's doing his best. Alright, well just like that we're on the last stage of the game, Sir Richard Rose!
So this guy is... he brought a hard level and, uh...
He is by far the worst boss in the game.
You'll see why.
Bullets are gonna be flying pretty soon, so...
First I gotta power up.
We're gonna do that.
We were debating who knighted
Sir Richard Rosen and why he got that title
so I don't know...
And why you're out for him.
Need to get a little bit more into the Sunset Rider's lore here and figure out why that is. I'm just going to walk through here.
Alright,
I like what we're doing here.
We're going to slow it right down here for this bomb guy
and just make it through the section nice
and comfy like.
And let's go in here.
Alright, we're gonna full up.
So you're going to time some dashes here to despawn some breeds
which makes that little climb section a bit easier
Alright bit easier all right look at there pink river of death flowing out in front of us here
and we are on to sir richard rose there's a pixel perfect
uh glitchier i guess or setup that i pixel perfect glitch here, I guess.
Or setup that I need to do on this boss.
I'm going to try to focus in on that.
And I think I got it!
Oh my gosh! It's not right at the top
i couldn't i can duck down oh i had it and then they took it away from me
now they gotta do this fight casually no now we're gonna see
some pain and suffering.
It's unfortunate.
So what Jake was trying to do there is if he hits the right pixel, they can hit Richard Rose
AND the barrier blocking him at the same time,
which speeds up the second half of this fight a lot
because he doesn't have to move.
You need to get him flashing here.
You got to get him going.
And of course he's off screen where we can't hit him, that's good and this is why Sir Richard Rose
got knighted apparently. He's got skills.
Alright so we've got one more round
We have one more phase on death here
On the second phase is when time
Is going to get called but
We've got some flashing and
Some bullets put into him first here so all right there we go good jumps if he
goes up you like to keep them on the ground
done he gave himself some air cover and time is going to come up right now all right
good job you guys good job man nice job yeah well thanks for coming uh Nice job, man. Nice job.

And up next
is Chibi Robo,
possibly the most adorable game i have the pleasure of knowing exists i got to learn all sorts of little tidbits about
it in a small secret session with the experts yesterday. This game is
truly a gem, but
you don't have to take my word for
it! See for yourself!
The fabulous Kobosco and
Jaxler will be playing Chibi Robo up next in the most exciting of formats
1v1 lockout bingo. Tell us all about it, take it away team! Hello, welcome back to Summer Games on Quick 2024. I am so stoked for this run! This has been a decade in the making and I'm so excited.
My name is Shovelclaws, I am going to be kind of your showrunner for this
Uh...I am joined by two absolute GOATS of the game
Uh..first
Yeah, I'm Singlescoop
I was like in the SDA forums with that person who changed their profile picture to different
Neopets every day.
Shout out for that person, I've been running this game for a long time, excited
for it to finally be on a main stage GDQ event.
That's about it.
Haxxy?
I'm Haxxy.
After enough GDQs in the practice room,
you'll get used to hearing Let's Go Bingo
just shouted from across the room.
And that...
Woo!
That's how I got sucked in, you might be
sucked in as well.
I love it! I'm so here for this.
I am so excited for this run, we're gonna go ahead
and try to get started just so we can
get out of the way, we're gonna talk some about what this
actually is but
I'm ready to get started
So we're gonna go ahead and start counting down in five four three
two one go hell yeah all right so we're going to talk some about what bingo is first.
You see at the top of your screen there's this list of 25 goals
These 25 goals are completely randomized, a little bit.
And we have to get a majority of these goals in this game mode.
This game mode is Lockout Bingo which means if you can tell from the name
once a competitor marks their
goal, the other cannot
get it. So we have
to kind of play around
what our opponents are doing and the first
person to 13 wins.
Yes.
Do you want to talk some about this game?
Yeah, so for those unfamiliar with this game,
you play as this cleaner household robot
and he just picks up the trash
and his job is to make the family happy but when doing
so, he finds money and then some
dirty family secrets and you just kind of
explore around,
it's a very open game.
You can go in any direction.
It's pretty similar to Pikmin 1
as a day-night cycle
Actually, you'll have a battery too.
Those are your main two resources. You'll see...
You'll be doing certain things in the day
and other things at night.
Yeah there's a lot of really dynamic gameplay
throughout this game.
It's really, really interesting as a bingo
because it has some things that I don't think I've seen too much.
Granted, I only watch a few bingos, but I'm a huge fan of bingos,
so I try to watch a lot.
For those familiar with speedrunning, there should be a few this year. I'm a huge fan of Bingo 7. Yeah. I try to watch it a lot.
For those, like familiar with speedrun, there should be a few of us here.
A few of us.
It's definitely more of like a routing person's game rather than like a grinding
persons' game.
Yeah.
Just because there are so many different avenues you can take, and that is what makes the bingo even more interesting.
It is very fluid since all of the goals are randomized, you have to kind of adapt on the fly especially in lockout where
you can have your plan ruined because, oops,
your opponent's gone for it.
It's really fun and dynamic.
I also realize now we never introduced our competitors.
Oh yes.
On our right
we have Jaxler.
Jaxler is a go of speedrunning just in general.
He's so good at everything!
Yeah, right?
Like I don't understand how he is so good. But, um...
Both of them right off the bat just moving.
They're using
they're going straight for this living room frog ring.
This makes so much sense on the board.
There's like a three frog ring
and six frog ring dingo checkboxes.
Yeah, we'll talk about the goal some in just a moment.
They're gonna cheat right here so you can click through any wall in the game
there are very few things that you can click through any wall in the game.
There are very few things that you can clip through,
uh...you CAN'T clip through, sorry.
And interestingly enough like this
This game is designed without a jump button
so you're just like, you like... You can run anywhere around and
you can climb but you are very limited in
your y-axis mobility
And that stays true to the speedrun despite
having a mechanic going
through any single wall. Yeah!
Thinking of the second frog ring, I was wondering how this
route would start and they're just both doing the same thing?
This is actually great because it lets you ease into
gameplay some. This isn't what this card was designed for,
honestly. I'll be going to the foyer next week
and go into this chibi room,
I think. I imagine I know
what he's about to do. Yeah, so something with this
chibi room... There there's tv rooms all throughout
the house and they have money in them they're a
very reliable source of money but they have a unique property of being
inside the tv room you on the main mechanic that i just
explained with the day
and night timer on the battery.
You have those mechanics present.
Oh we didn't do it!
You don't do it?
Are you sure?
OK.
OK.
I guess not.
That's interesting.
We'll talk about that when we come back.
Wait oh he we come back.
Oh, he's going back?
Oh, that explains it.
So there is the all doors living room sticker.
If you do what he's doing now, it wouldn't contribute towards that so he's gonna click
out of bounds in the chibi room and each chibi room is located somewhere within
each like individual room, and when you're
in there you can clip out of bounds and just reach a loading zone. This one's
pretty close to the foyer that Coby is in now.
Yeah, okay look at this.
Look at this guy over there.
It's scary if you actually don't...if you get lost
there because it's like oh my god.
What are we gonna do?
So as you see he's actually cheating He's going to do? Yeah. So as you see, he's actually cheating.
He's going to be reported to the IRS.
His battery is frozen.
His day and night timer is frozen.
It's effectively a time stop.
You don't have to worry about any resource management,
but you can progress story in a few important ways. The day and night cycle is really
important to progressing character stories which there's a lot of them bingo.
You have to think like like, oh wow,
like Jax that's like a huge advantage over what Kobe has
and it's actually beneficial
in a lot of instances
to progress the day-night timer
because certain things happens at timer because certain things happen that
day and certain things happen at night. Yeah, but no matter what Jaxxler is going
to have to wait on that day-night cycle after he leaves this mode. This mode by
the way is called chibi room mode. Named after the chibi rooms
Completely freezes everything
It's pretty powerful in bingo specifically
This never gets used in any person
Right right because we just want time to go down
Yeah time to go down I Yeah, time go down. Day advance.
Um...
I love how my stairs are climbing.
This is riveting gameplay.
This is like something we should count?
I know people like counting.
Oh wait!
Jack's late!
Let's go. Uh okay. Oh, wait. Jack's like... Always give him 10 coins first.
Oh my god.
Let's go.
Okay.
Kobe going to the bedroom.
Jack's going to Jenny's room.
Okay.
Splitting off a little bit.
We should talk some about the rooms in the house. Yes. So, first we have the living room
a room that you kind of spawn in
You connect to everything basically
You have the kitchen and backyard which are both connected to
the living room, pretty simple. And then you have the foyer which is a
really large room with an upstairs part that upstairs part
is where a lot of the game takes place because
of a few different things we have on the board. Oh yeah. We have a few special squares
on the board, and we'll probably see these two
rooms quite a bit in this bingo card specifically
because this is the bedroom of the parents and Jenny's room on Jack's there screen.
Kobe is in the parents bedroom
while they're kinda walking around doing what they are doing, i do want to introduce
kabazko
kabasco runs a ton of games
herself
sport hero, actually no
um, no
but Kobe is
I think recently, as of recent
had a positive win rate on Jacksler
I don't know if that went back up but i was told that
that has changed we could just say it anyways uh kobe has a
kobe has a 100 percent one right now kobe's insane opening the people
wait is that?
That is not a goal. No okay I guess we can talk some about the goals
Jack said he just got the snorkel
which is a goal but he has intentionally
not checked it off. He marked it up oh i think uh it's checked off for
for tech whoever is listening the bingo card is not being updated on
the live layout we'll get that fixed don't't worry about it. Just know...
...that Jacksler has checked off one goal, the snorkels.
The snorkels in specific are just an item in Ginny's room.
All you have to do is pick it up.
Easy.
Otherwise, do we want to talk some about how this card
kind of designed? I think
you might have some insight on this. Yeah so
in Chibi-Robo! You have a lot of short term
goals midterm long terms and we to get a good bounce with that
and if you look at the center square
We got a very special goal for you
You'll probably see it in like 45 minutes or so who knows
Can I say can we get a let's go marriage
because its getting out of here.
I'm glad we got some laughs, thank you!
Alright so yeah we have divorce as the center square
probably the standout goal here yes and then uh what else
do we have apart from that late game you had a few good ones actually got squirt honey nectar
on sunshine also requires divorce as does Obtained Radar.
We have a couple very long-term ones.
Free Funky Phil is a quest line that usually you have a bunch of goals in
but this time we only have the one so that's going to be
a commitment that you have to weave through your other routing yeah um i will also say
that uh kobe has marked three frog rings which is an interesting indicator because
both players know exactly
where they are right now.
A huge, huge thing
in Lockout Bingo is
the information game. Because if you can kind
of undercut what your opponent is
doing, they waste all that time
They have been inefficient and get
nothing out of it. So being able
to hide what you're doing, kind of obfuscate your position leads to a huge
advantage um not only does it kind of keep them guessing but you can like well like i said kind
of destroy their plans and if you do, then they're not getting it.
Especially in this game because
many of the checkboxes take
a good commitment to
reach and
um...
That tied in with the day night timer it's like if you interrupt someone's plans
um yeah it is kind of like Puyo Puyo actually.
I'm gonna think about that more.
I'm not even a Puyo player but shut up.
So yeah, I think...
Like when...
When I think of Chibi-Robo the word I think of chibi-robo, the word
I think of is setup. Setup is everything in this game
When I think of chibi-robo, I think of divorce
Yeah divorce.
So,
setup is a huge thing in this game because
things take a long time to progress.
You have to sit through a day-night cycle, you have to sit through cutscenes
Thankfully, cutscenes aren't as bad in this bingo
because we're using something called text skip, which allows
you to actually skip through the text.
This was a mod created by Kobe
with the unplugged feature created by
Terpy? Is that correct, Hatsu?
Was it Terpy that made that?
Not unplugged? I don't know.
That's a COVID question.
No, I'm going to say Dirt-P.
Yeah.
I'll go for a second. So, we should probably talk about spiders real fast
because there are few important goals in relation to this.
The two currencies in this game...
Well I guess three happy points Yeah, so the two currencies in this game...
Oh, I guess three happy points.
Moolah and Scrap.
And Scrap is obtained by killing those Spydores
and it's used to obtain Utilibots which add
different
areas you can go to in each room
or shortcuts, in this case.
Eventually gonna be able to... Oh wow! Got a nice spawn. They're semi-random.
Their drops they can either drop 10 50 or 100 and we love getting that RNG.
Oh my god, Kody. Okay no it's not bad.
She's nodding.
That is a good sign.
The most important Utilabot is a four-year warp so you know how earlier you saw them both climb these stairs
there's a way to be able to skip that
if you get enough, but it looks like she's not
going to take that now and I guess on
Jacks side, Jacks in the bedroom
talking to a dead frog, but it's not dead
yet. Um...
And exploring the rest of the bedroom
In the bedroom he can get
what is it? Take a step
Looks like he's gonna do some climbing,
I assume he's gonna pick up another item
kind of similar to what we did with the snorkels
To update those who don't have
like current status of the bingo it is one to one yeah it's still
one-to-one we're getting the bingo card fixed now it's one two in jackson's favor yes we are
we are working on getting that bingo card fixed. Shout out to the tech team!
Also... Bingo is a
really hard thing to get working, so the fact this
even happening is kind of wild to me, because I've seen it first hand. It's tough.
Thank you Fizz!
I will real fast say Jaxxler just picked up a pretty important item
on this card I would say. The ticket stub.
The ticket stub is a two-parter
because you can get the ticket stub in
the parent's bedroom and
that's also a gift that you can give to mort right so jack slayer comes up another
point it's now two to one and um so they're both kind of just hanging out in the bedroom
um i mean there's what all can you do both kind of just hanging out in the bedroom.
I mean, there's... What all can you do? There's...
Divorce. There's divorce. You're probably
going to progress divorce while you're here, especially
since Toby's a knight. Yeah.
Jacks is still in day the first day I think.
He's about to up the people
so he can do this in the next night
but Kobe you can do that now.
Like I said set-up.
Yeah it's a lot of setup.
And then we will get probably also free Funky Phil at some point soon.
Funky Phil is my favorite NPC in the entire game, I love him!
So I'm really excited that's on the cards.
Tell us your favorite Cheibi-Robo characters.
Oh yeah, if you've played this game,
you have a favourite.
And actually tell me why because like
I don't know,
If you like Pico or something
like tell me about it.
We don't like big by we I mean these so I will say I think
um as of now well Kobe is talking to the frogs some,
Is there a reason that Kobe is talking to the frogs right now?
There's a very wide hitbox. You have to talk to that frog at some point.
Basically for the goals you are going to have
to do that
for the Funky Phil
quest line
and also to go further
into bedroom
to talk to mom
to work on divorce.
Cool.
That's usually how it works.
Usually.
Just a little mini update,
we are about $16 away
from getting that glitch exhibition.
Whoa!
Oh my God.
That's Sid.
Yes, I think that you had a great idea.
I think folks should start a $5 Donut Train
and let us know what their favorite TV robo character is?
I'd love it! We'd love to hear some.
Also post fan art. There's a few.
I love looking at all the fan art of this game in the Discord server.
Oh, and we just got that incentive!
It is set for The Glitch Exhibition
TV robo
IS happening. Thank you all so much!
Heck yeah! Let's celebrate because
we have some hype in the room!
Let's go. That is so exciting.
I haven't seen a lot of those glitches
because I just watched Bingo
So, I know what relevant to this
So, I'm actually really looking forward
to that. Um...that said, Jaxler has picked up a new little outfit for Chibi-Robo.
It kind of looks weird.
He's in the ghost suit now which allows you to kill spiders really fast.
Kobe as well. Kobe's getting the go see they're both dead now can I get a rest in peace where
was this Hilton Hotel built on and then Jack sir also signed Sarge's shoes. He is this little egg guy that gives you a lot of Mulan.
That wasn't known for the longest time, you just shine his shoes with the toothbrush and he gives you a thousand bucks
So, I believe Kobe
and Jaxler are now on the same night
but Jaxler is about half a cycle or so
behind
Additionally, I do want to point out that
Kobe has warped to the chibi house through
these trauma suit which allows you to basically...
How did you put it?
How'd you put it?
I don't know.
Kind of, each outfit
in the game has its own unique
thing. Yeah they have a pose
there's like an action for each outfit
and they all have unique properties. In this case
the trauma suit will bring you back to the
cheapy house in the living room which is
good for cutting down on movement
and they recently started using the spooky ghost
to take out the spiders,
because it's an easy way to do that.
Yeah.
Scrap grinding is going to be pretty important,
specifically from
the all doors
living room objective angle.
The all doors living room
requires a few
Utilibots which are basically just um like extra movement yeah yes
like the you saw them use the ladder at the very start for a little bit saving
the ant save the animals kobe kobe is a pacifist.
Oh my god, look at the gooo!
And that's going to be another goal marked from
the
Yeah on the card. Save the ant in the bottom left corner.
Yes! It is now 2-2-2.
But...
Do we have some $10 donation from groggy froggy oh that coveted divorce square. Good luck to all the runners have a great GDQ everyone! We have one from Killing Pepsi, $25.
Donating in support of the Goated Jacksler!
Manifesting another common W...
Let's go bingo!
Uh, I think we can get one more. Kobe is currently just
opening some chibi doors in the backyard and it looks like
Jack's there's just hanging out in the foyer getting some scrap awesome we I
actually want to point out the bonus twist level, Quake 2 Enhanced.
Incentive is open we are at $4500 out of that 15000 if we hit that
We'll add an additional secret level to the
Quick 2 enhanced run.
So when you're donating make sure you're scrolling down
and clicking that!
Jacksler looks to be going back upstairs.
It's interesting to me he didn't buy the fourier warp.
Do you want to talk maybe about how important that is real fast?
Yeah, like you see him climbing all these stairs again.
He wouldn't have to do that.
Basically.
You know, we're getting our steps in.
I got my Pokey Walker on deck
same with Kobe actually.
Kobe, I don't think they're going to have enough time
to get this last door. You see in the
top left that timer on the last tick?
She has said no!
It's not making it.
Oh, and also she has to wait until she falls to the ground now't make it. She's not going to make it? Oh and also she has to wait until like she falls to the ground now
to end the actual night so...
Oh no!
It's like okay that's fine
Uh she got most of them though
I think she'd be willing to go back up there one more time
for all doors backyard yeah aldor's backyard is
like kind of a mid-to-lake angle but it's nice to get it out of the way if
you're already going to be there um what what do
you think they should be doing right now given that um kobe is at three with backyard frog ring
free frog rings and save the ant and And then Jaxler's at two
with snorkels and ticket stub.
At this point in terms of frog rings
if Koby wants to commit to
living room doors she could definitely go for that one.
There is also drain frog ring on this card, which at
some point if you want to trigger divorce in the
kitchen versus the bedroom, she could just
run down there, grab the frog ring, go up
talk to mom and then get a good cutscene going
And there it is!
We're getting things
Tech has been
on it, let's go
So yeah Jackzler has the snorkel and tech Um, so, uh, yeah.
Jacksler has the snorkel and tickest up
And then Kobe's gonna mark
Let's go!
Awesome. You're so bad.
Never worried about it, never at all.
No, never. Everything's good.
Alright so now you can actually see the proper board state. It's 3-2 but
the players have been setting up a lot for specifically divorce.
If that doesn't get on like, a GD out of context Twitter, I'm gonna be really upset.
But divorce is going to be a pretty central goal and whoever gets that earns my respect.
What a player.
So,
like we said,
the three goals that we need divorce for, obtain radar squirt
honey on Sunshine
and divorce, of course.
That will allow some quick goals and during divorce you could set up a lot right
um like with other goals i would say yeah one important thing about
divorce is that mom is in the bedroom during daytime
rather than nighttime.
Mm-hmm.
So free funky fill, that whole frog quest typically you do it at night time because
or typically during day time cause she's not there. So that's what
flips. Yeah. That's a minor thing to
consider here. Yeah.
Do we want to talk some about the characters
in this game real fast? Cause a lot of them
show up on this board and I think
it's really cool that we have so much
representation on this board
from the characters themselves.
This game is like, really interesting.
It eases the video game medium
to its best of its abilities in terms
of a storytelling aspect because
you're basically
a fly on the wall in this family's house
and all these characters have a different you know incentive and
like i can't think of the word sorry but you just follow their you know
their stories and kind of like check in with them
and contribute to them somewhat.
And there's a bunch
different characters, so there's the dad who
you might know someone like this
who he's not showing up to his job
he stopped showing up to his job and all he does is
sit in the house and watch TV and play with his toys
and the mom is fed up
that he's just
not contributing to the household and because like
he's supposed to be the the breadwinner the bread winner and she's just seeing all these like
toys all this toil all these toys in the taxes piling up.
They're kind of in financial ruin,
he also bought Chibi-Robo which was another really bad financial choice.
Yeah you are like the most expensive thing
when a game starts on some dear like he buys it for Jenny's birthday
You know, it's like oh she really want to go in
And that's why they get a divorce eventually is because the mom finds out
that he has bought another toy yeah and we find the receipt it's actually what
kobe is doing on the screen right now and
we found the receipts.
Literally.
And, um... We show mom
and she goes on strike.
She gives us some happy points.
She's like,
oh thanks.
Ten happy points. I never like, oh thanks. 10 happy points.
I never thought of that.
Yeah and then actually when the...
So this is daytime right now
and if this was at nighttime
a different cut scene plays
and she's like st stop stop on those stairs
yeah um a different cutscene plays and it manually ends the night at the day and during
the day it doesn't manual manually end but when that happens it like zooms into telly and he's
like I guess we made the family a little bit happier today.
Oh my god this is lore i didn't know. Okay, uh...
Anyways!
I don't have to follow that up.
We do have a couple of donations
if you want me to be able to follow that up.
I think Kobe is doing a kind of important thing here,
but after that, I think we should be okay.
This drain movement
is really cool. It kind of turns the game into a 2D
platformer, but it's kind of like a Sonic
2D and 3D glitch where you can still clip through
the front wall. So Kogi's
going to clip through that wall in the
front, and then glide on over
to out-of-bounds, get this money,
and then do it again to
get another goal that drain frog ring
on that drain frog bring is a golden of
itself so that's going to be another
point for Kobe also progresses towards
the three progress and that movement is so cool it's
some of my favorite in the entire game uh now i think kobe is just leaving and chancellor
is in the chibi house so we can definitely get maybe a quick 30-45
seconds of donation? Yes. Awesome!
We have a donation from
Watson.
And it's $100
to MSF.
I'm so happy
to see Chibi Robo finally get on
the GBQ stage.
Chibi Robo is the game that got me
to want to make games and has had
such a positive impact on me. Shout out to Single Scoop
and the whole ChibiRobo community, and remember to spread the happiness!
Oh my god Watson thank. Thank you. Love ya.
I think Kobe is going to get the spoon here after recharging but I think we can maybe get one more.
Don't know.
Awesome! We have a donation
from Casper
for $5.
Choo-choo! Five dollar train in the name of
The Tech Team.
Alright, thank you so much for your
generosity. Agreed, thank you tech team. This is my first time on the couch up here and I was feeling very nervous
So I can't imagine during a bit of a run like...
The alarm goes off. Something's wrong.
Something is broken, but they got it fixed real fast.
All right.
So Kobe has picked up the spoon.
What is the spoon good for on this board?
Why would you do that? On this board there are three spoon objectives. You've got
one which she might go for, I don't know if she has
a flower seed, that would just be plant the flower seed
you also have obtain a pirate ship, go in the
backyard as usual, you have just a pirate ship
buried there, bury treasure, make sense. Everyone has one. Yeah.
There's also Mr. Prongs which I don't want to talk about because I just want you to see that. Mr. Prongs is
something we'll only talk about when he comes up.
But yeah... She's planting the flowers, see? She is! Ooh! Planning ahead but yes other places by the pharmacy
she is planning ahead a little bit very
very good planting him planting ahead on my god of the world's unfunny as person
um I can i think about another goal another goal for kobe and it is five to two but
i mean jacksler has been setting up a little bit
for some of the later goals he's been getting a lot of scrap like we said
it's required for you
for a few things on here
uh... and additionally i mean that he's making a lot
money as well
so I think he might be taking the angle of something like all chips. Looking for a suitor.
Where he's going to kind of pivot into
a money perspective.
Yeah, I can see that.
Especially, yeah.
He's gonna be focusing
on generally... I know he's doing all doors loading and security setup for that
And with that money you can do all chips
Was it anything else?
Uh...I'm not sure
Oh! Hi Pico!
Oh no, jump scare.
I will also say Koby's been picking up a lot of trash.
Trash is two goals on this board, five empty cans and seven cookie boxes.
I don't know where those generally are in the game?
I know there's a few in Kitchen. Where else are those?
You have couple under Jenny's bed. You have a couple
in the kitchen and you also have one in the basement
One in the basement so we're gonna have to see
the basement somewhere. Yeah. Awesome. That's
only reason I guess unless for other reasons that shouldn't happen.
That Kobe will be going...
Or anyone will be going into the basement.
Where do you saw Kiko?
It's fine.
Yeah, hope it's the last time he ever sees me again.
Right, right, right.
Well, I mean, there is a goal on here
that I'm like
thinking about
and like
if you get
I guess unlucky
in this case
you could theoretically
get it pretty easily
700 happy points
Pico
in this game is kind of the bane
of speedrunners existence because it's like a
50-50 gamble like how far into any percent do you do pico again
oh my god how long was that at one point it was an hour 40. so i don't know yeah no
really late into the 80 run you get
literally 50 50.
it's just to either keep the run or
kill it instantly um but pico is gamble, you give them money and then
you either get back money double I think or
you get happy points equal to what you put in.
I think divided by 10 or something, yeah.
So-
We're both doing the same cut scene
although you saw how Jax like had
to walk up the stairs and Kobe literally just took the warp
Wait this is gonna be so cool this is going to be so cool!
This is gonna be a divorce night.
It literally is... yeah.
Things I'd only say during
the Chibi-Robo lockup and go,
oh, this game's awesome.
Yeah.
I think we got like
a minute and half, two minutes of cut scenes.
Yeah these cutscenes are pretty long.
I don't know how they just always do this at the same exact time
There's so many other things but it all converges right here
Like at one point even though everything was different
So yeah if you have some more questions feel free to just right here like at this one point even though everything was different
so yeah uh if we have some more donations feel free to
yeah absolutely i have a 50 donation to msf
from fortune chibi robo is one of my favorite
games, glad to see the
chibo love lesson 3
We have a $15 donation
y'all are going to be excited for this from Vane.
Let's go bingo!
Seeing Jackson Covey get this in after a decade is super inspiring and I'm so stoked for this. Once again, let's
go bingo! Let's go bingo! Alright, um, so Kobe's about to go give the father of the family a love note, or I guess an unloved note?
Question mark? Yeah, got the heart... the broken heart on there.
How'd it go? What did she say?
Bad news.
So he's about to get the news that mom is going
to go on strike and wants a divorce.
She's so mean in this cut scene for no reason.
I think I'll read this love letter out loud.
Dear dysfunctional family, love letter out loud.
Dear dysfunctional family, Tao tracks mud all over the house Jenny thinks she's a frog and the man of the house
isn't man enough to find another job. Well, I've had enough. Yeah,
I'm sorry but you pushed me to the edge. The only option I got left is divorce.
No!
And that is going to be Kobe winning this bingo game.
I'm kidding.
Let's go!
Kobe has marked off divorce, unfortunately. Let's go!
Kobe has marked off the divorce. Unfortunately, Jaxler is like 10 seconds behind.
Really? That was so close.
It's so sad but...
The thing with this is like
this game has like a few acts to it so like
there are so many moving parts in this game and one of the few you
when you're playing this game casually you don't really know what counts as
like eating the game or like progressing
through the game because it's so abstract and uh the divorce sequence like opens up more
possibilities and jackson that is such a cool clip!
You just fall right into the
basement loading zone, and now you're down here.
And then he has to do this clip which is like
don't fall
This is such a weird camera angle.
He's going to clip through and land on this swing.
He's got it.
Nice, let's get him.
Okay he's good.
Yeah I mean Kobe is now in post-divorce.
I guess both of them are in post divorce.
What do you think their game plan...
Look, a lot of quotes in this round.
What do you think some of their game plan might be?
I mean, I see Kobe going to pick up the squirter
which is going to help with
the honey nectar on sunshine
goal. What else do you think?
I think Kobe definitely rushing that because,
I mean you have to at this point.
Divorce is done, Sunshine's right there.
I don't know if she has honey?
She probably just picked up the sweater.
Yeah, she needs some honey.
Jackson meanwhile in basement going for the empty cans In this card only reason you ever go to basement is just for empty cans
So we know he's doing that
Um yeah so I mean this is kind of an interesting predicament.
I would say the momentum is pretty in favor of Kobe but if
Jaxler can get a few snipes real fast and have the setup that he's been doing over the course of the run really pay off,
it's pretty easy to get back into a game of bingo, because all you need is one mistake and then your plan is kind of in turmoil.
So we'll see how Jacksler pulls it off. I'm pretty confident, I think he can
But he kind of needs to play pretty predictively based on what Kobe's doing
So we'll see how that plays out. Going for five empty cans seems
very safe, I would say. Yeah, it's something
like he should do
and I guess they got something to do
and they contributed to it
Something of note is that Kobe's taking all the cutscenes
here, and that pauses the in-game timer.
Meanwhile Jax, I assume his night's going
to end sooner than Kobe's.
And the follow up on once he divorces, the obtain
the radar is one thing you can do so... He'll be ahead to that
I think yeah, he should be able to get that which looks pretty good. Well we'll see how much mulai he has
Here's Mulai, here's my favorite character We'll see how much moolah he gets.
Here's my favorite character.
Shout out to Mort, he's really scary.
Thank you.
He's so sweet.
I love Mort, He's great.
I think... Depending on what Jaxxer does we might have
another moment for some donations.
Yeah, I think we can get one.
Awesome! Speaking of divorce...
Matt Resina donates $10 saying
Here at TV Robo
we support divorce.
So Jaxler's time is going to run out, which means he has... does he have the money for Radar?
I don't think that's enough.
No, Radar is 1730.
It's 1730 so a lot more money that he'll need to do but
Ultimately the kind of interesting
thing about this card is that we have
three all doors goals
All Doors give you a ton of money just
by doing them. So if you're able to
route them in while
you're in areas, you can
really easily rack up money
in order to buy
things like the radar.
Something I forgot to mention earlier,
Coby got the 15 timer instead of the 5 minute timer
you can get a 5, 10 or 15 minute timer
so Coby's not looking to do
site time stuff very soon.
Although in this Jani's room specifically,
you can manually change it from day to night
if they so choose.
So they could use that while
they're here.
Yeah, so... they could use that while they're here yeah so um i mean kobe is really close on six frog rings i think i think that is exactly this yeah good news it is sick so That's sick. So, um... Ultimately
she set up for... What is it?
Probably, um...
She's got some good stuff. She also still
has Spoon. I don't know if Jackdaw has it yet so
if she ever wants to go backyard and try to commit
the finishing of Aldor's Backyard...
There is a good amount of things you can do in the Backyard.
So I assume she's going to do that.
Jaxxler also just got the 15 minute timer on night, so's going to be stuck in the nighttime
yeah so jackson is like half cycle ahead i believe at this point because of the
cut scenes and the the less timer um the The timer is just like simple, day-night longer shorter.
So if you buy that your kind of committing to staying in this night for a while
and depending on what night it is, what you've set up,
you can get a lot done.
He's also been getting pretty good scrap luck
so it looks like he's kind of playing
the long game as opposed
to taking some of these shorter goals.
I don't think... I've seen him pick up
maybe one Frog Ring.
Yeah, there's nothing
to do with Frog Rings anymore at this point.
Unless other have been happy points.
But yeah, it looks like he's
still trying to get scrap for that
living room you told about.
And now is there a kitchen
Aldor?
There's Aldor, Jenny's room, living
room and backyard.
Oh, Spook Sophie. So at night time
Spook Sophie has already been gotten by
Toby. She also just got a
cameo, though.
She's outrunning us. What the hell?
So,
Coby's going to turn in
a bunch of frog rings to
Jenny. Jenny really likes frogs frogs if you can tell she thinks
he's one she speaks for everybody yeah she was cursed by a frog wizard
oh yeah that's that's what that is!
So she's going to turn those in
and that's going to get her a lot of happy points
300 total happy points
which puts her
pretty well on track for 700 happy points.
Since we have a moment here as well,
Happy Points are a really big thing in Chibi-Robo!
And I mean, we're all happy it says GDQ right?
Of course.
So after the run
what we're wanting to do is total up
the amount of happy points
our runners have and
let's get a donation train at the end of the run, show some love for ChibiRobo and
our two players equal to the amount of happy points divided by 10.
I think that would be great.
Divide it by 100, Michael.
100 is not probably more affordable.
So I'd love to see that.
Otherwise, Jass are getting spewn,
Kobe just going around the living room some
I think we maybe have a good 45 donate-
45 sorry? 45 45 donations 45 minutes or seconds for donations of course i
have a 100 donation from dakar thank you so much for putting that towards the incentive
We need more Jacksler and Kowalsko showing off TV robo
We have a $20 donation from XCOG. Let's go
bingo!
I am so excited for this
run and I am so proud to call
Jaxler a friend. Let's get some more chibi-robo with that glitch exhibition!
Jaxxler just marked off five empty cans, So, Kobe has been
picking some of those up
so ultimately
that's a bit
of a time waster
for her.
Jaxer
picking that goal up.
Oh my god!
What is this?
Scrap luck!
That was like
310!
What the hell? i hate like so at the event and like seeing people's like non-verbal cues about what rng they get i remember jackson like going
at me like you get such good luck like on like on PV stuff. And he just has the most
modest nod
about getting the most insane look ever.
He's like, I kind of deserve that.
Yeah, no, go.
So he's got the spoon and now he's going for the... So he's got the spoon now he's going for Mr. Prongs.
Yes!
Okay this is...
We'll see when he shows up.
Mr. Prongs is a special NPC in this game and I'm really excited for you all to meet him.
We'll see if we can find where he is.
What is it? He spawns in...
Three set locations throughout the living room.
Is it, it's randomized between those three, right?
It is yeah, randomized between the three and a change with each cycle.
Okay. Interesting.
So yeah, we'll see
when Jaxxer picks him up
but I'm really excited.
I believe
Kobazco has also
did Kobe obtain the
pirate ship?
I don't think you can if
that is there, right?
A very interesting non-verbal conversation just happened
between... they both paused and looked down
and gave a confused hum. And Jax looked at it first
and I know Kobe was looking at the bingo board
what's Jacksler doing right now?
It's like a huh? And then they look at us like, huh?
Like we said, information game. Kobe is totally
confused about what Jacksler is doing because he hasn't marked something in quite a while.
Mainly because he has been setting up a lot for what he's going to do.
Yeah, they've both done good.
GBRobo is cleaning the house.
Wow! Mom needs to marry GBRobo's cleaning the house. Wow!
Mom needs to like marry GBRobo, what the hell?
I don't know, telly.
Don't tell Telly!
So Kobe is going get the frog suit here.
And JackSlayer's gonna mark off seven cookie boxes. I didn't even realize he had all of them.
Nice!
Okay... This is JackSlayers' comeback.
This is where it starts. I will say that it's 9-4 in Kobe's favor but she's going to spend a bit of time on her next few goals.
Jasper has the best suit in the game look at that the 360. oh my god
so jackson has been playing for a set up
pretty heavily and we'll see how kobe uses this frog suit i don't know
what you need this for on this card do either of you know frog suit is for a free funky fill
oh go back up to the bedroom. Right, I remember that cutscene!
The whole change.
So what is it that Dinah does to you again?
She thinks your a frog because
you're wearing a frogsuit and non-frogs typically don't do that.
Except for Jenny, so she bites you
and you have to return her teeth
at the whole ordeal
and then only after that point
for some reason
you get to talk to Funky Phil
he's caught up in some stuff
he'll be freed
That's why I called him MonkeyPhil
We-we'll free him
That magically makes him, his
uh thing interactable
Um additionally
Jaxxler is going to be taking up the pirate ship which is really uh important
because i think kobe went there and tried to do it but couldn't oh really
huh maybe i don't know, I haven't seen it.
I think you can dig it when Dad is out there.
Oh!
Brent?
This is Mr. Prongs everyone. Everyone say hi Mr. Prongs.
Hi Mr. Prongs!
He...
gets bigger when you hit him with a spoon and that gives you happy points.
Yeah.
I learned this last night.
And a sticker. And a sticker.
You just want sound, you want spoon, give him two. I wish Kobe would rotate the camera
because he...yeah
Cheapy robo everyone where you get divorced and meet Mr. Yeah.
Chibi-Robo, everyone! Where you get the Force to meet Mr. Promz.
Goodbye, Mr. Promz.
Um... so Kogi will get the Mr. Promz sticker
and that puts her three away from winning this game uh so she's at 10
and jacksler is at five because of uh oh my god okay it looks like she
that was an oh my god i can't believe I forgot that head smack.
And that's a breathing.
Don't worry about that.
It's always funny watching Vingo, because it's like...
Yeah.
For what it's worth, Jackler and Kobe can't hear us at all
Right, Right.
And don't know what each other are doing
so when you see something like that
you know something has gone wrong
So verbal tells her everything I think
Which makes in-game...
Like, in person bingo so much more fun.
I agree.
But...
What do you think they would work on next?
I imagine Kobe's going to go, looks like she's thinking
about it but might go to Free Funky Phil.
That's what I was assuming.
She's thinking now.
She has paused, I think.
Going to leave the foyer okay never mind that's actually what
i was thinking earlier because like she's got it i mean she doesn't know
that she has a good advantage in the backyard but like she had
a lot of opportunities in the backyard.
Speaking of backyard, Jaxler is coming from
the backyard with The Frog soon now?
He might be doing that.
He might be doing Free Funky Phil.
That's interesting. Oh, living room 50 coin!
Oh yeah, Living Room Plant
50 coins. I love this one.
Kobe is going to move around this Utilabot
you can move him around by having him push and pull on them
um...and going to get a special coin that how'd you guys put it i forgot
um it's like it felt like they've forgotten yeah they added it so like that area looks
so cool like it's like oh I want to get
up there and then you get up there and like it's just a 50 coin
It's like they just forgot that there was stuff over
there. Yes because it's like this whole
platforming section like look, look at that.
And then it's just like OK let me just put a ladder and go
there and leave.
Oh throwing away trash like the good cheap
Yuripa Sheet is for happy points.
And look at all those cookie boxes. CHRIS WIDDOWSON- I mean, I guess you happy points. Look at all those cookie boxes!
I mean, might as well get something out of picking up the trash he did.
I didn't know that was in my casual playthrough until I looked it up on a guide, so...
Good to know where that is this one out the
back here I guess I could have figured that one
now probably but I also didn't know that
$30 actually looks like he's going to the foyer with the frog suit, probably
going to try to attempt to get that funky Phil question line going while Kobe is playing
a little bit for the short term getting the living room 50 plant yeah this
literally is jackson's comeback i think like yeah i think it was a hopeful it was like a maybe no
i think it is i feel like i feel like kobe has been spending a lot of time on things that Jaxxer
is not only on the way to do but ultimately don't play into
the long term as much.
Getting into late game
now a little bit, kind of
concerning.
Not necessarily funny.
Kind of finagle
around? It's weird.
Fun. Um... Kind of finagle it around. It's weird. Yeah, fun.
Do we think we have maybe another minute 30 for Donos?
Because Jax is about to enter a cutscene though he's just gonna walk right after
the 50-point I agree oh absolutely we do we have Bobby
burn with $11 and 11 cents you've pushed me to the edge!
The only option I have
is to donate!
Shout out to my
goat, Jaxler, running this amazing game and the legends shovel on the couch. Let's go bingo!
We have another... we have a five dollar donation from king j o four
four four hey jack slur cobaso the back couch aka the bingo enjoyers.
Say hi!
And good luck. Oh, and also let's start a Let's Go BINGO five dollar donation train heck yeah love it uh probably one or two more
perfect we have a 25-dollar donation to MSF
from Lunatic J.
Let's go divorce!
Let's go divorce!
Let's go, Team Force!
Let's go, Team Force!
Let's go, Team Force!
Something Kobe is doing right now is literally the most cursed movement in the game.
She also doesn't have enough, uh too much time so she needs to get this quickly.
Yeah she's really on a timer. I guess that's why she's doing it. It's like I can still do this in the last attempts
I've had. Yeah so want to explain what this is?
How this works? So like, you have to walk
against a wall
to jump up it.
Oh, that's so close! You need to wait till that
bar finishes.
And this ladder is just out of her way.
Oh my god!
I literally didn't see her get that in practice for like half an hour.
Yeah, it was a little bit.
Then we went to bed so I'm surprised. like an hour. It was a little bit.
And then we went to bed, so I'm surprised she didn't pull that off.
She's the girl.
That's a pretty good advantage in the all-thorses living room.
Yeah, because that's one of the longer...
Jax was already setting up for it. So if she can snap him on that then
that's good for her. The draw glitch! I love that. Normally you
can draw a set amount.
And the most proud I am of naming
a trick is calling that infinite drawer glitch as a parody
of Infinite Sword Glitch from Ocarina of Time.
Normally you can only just pull that drawer out, like
I set it on the distance and now
you could just pull drawers anywhere you want
in any direction horizontally anyways
And normally you're very limited in that sort of, like, mobility.
Getting infinite vertical is pretty useful even if it's just a little bit.
Yeah, I'd like a tiny bit of
vertical access and
now she's going for the other
living room doors in the last
ever timer right now
I do want to say everyone say hello to a funky Phil.
He is great.
He's raving bad.
We're going
to free him and Jacksler's going to get that point.
Kobe's going to run out of time, go to night
and I'm gonna impress some
on the living room doors.
All Doors Living Room is a pretty
lengthy one so
getting some of it out of the way while you don't have enough time to really do anything else because of the 50 plant coin.
Good idea! Really smart decision from her instead of going somewhere, getting your time cut off.
Oops! My bad.
God I love Funky Phil he's so cool.
And Jax is going to clip into this wall.
What does this do again?
Clip in through the wall and there is an invisible chibi door over here.
Right!
I guess for just money, there are no outdoors bedrooms out there. I don't think there's...
He could go for the bedroom shortcut from here,
right? Or would you have me get that?
That's fair. Um, I will say Kobe is this money is he i guess he's looking on shopping um
i will say kobe's but kobe is buying some
uh chips all chips is a goal on this board as well
there are a lot of items in this chibi house shop
that cost varying levels of money, and all chips
have to... Do either of you know how much total money we need for
all the chips.
I need 1110 for TV Blaster, 1120 for Rainship, 860 for Charchip
and 940 for Battery so overall however much that adds up to
at this point they both have ch chip, or at least Jaxer
does. So it's just going
to be a rush to get that. I would never do math
so don't ask me that.
I would never do math.
Speaking of money, we have lots
of love from the community. Is it okay if I read some of this? Yeah, you can get probably
a few, yeah. Okay, we have a $50 donation from
Danny on had to donate for the best robo bean on GDQ. We have a $20 donation from Nostani.
Oh yeah, Nostani!
So happy to see you all running Chibi-Robo on stage.
Know how much it means? Much love.
We have a $25 donation from Jake. chibi robo helps big just like these
donations keep them coming and way to go jackson
kabaz
um you can probably get a few more. I think they're just gonna be in Chibi House for a minute. Yeah, Jack's shopping.
Okay perfect! We have this really cute donation from Flying Gir for 25 so excited for the chibi robo run
my sibling and i loved this game as children in our heart to see it being
run at gdq good luck to the runners and we already got it but let's
get that glitch exhibition! Thank you all so much for reaching out again
I'm so excited for what that's gonna look like. Go ahead.
I was just going to ask real fast, what do we think they're
gonna get up to? They're both on the same night butax is like halfway further through it.
Is that going to serve an advantage at all maybe?
Yeah you see him raising the ladder here
That's just because more doors are already here
and he just got the utility that he needed to get all of the living room doors. You need like one.
So maybe he'll be spending the rest of his night here.
Not a terrible idea, um what about
Kobe? What do you think? On Kobe's end
she talked to Mort yesterday or last cycle
so she's going to give him a gift right now
She got
the ticket stuff
Get that mark down and she She got the tickets though. If she has a ticket, yeah, she's gonna just give them
a gift and get that mark down. And she might start
shipping away at all doors Jenny's room? I know
she got at least one door earlier. Yeah,
she's been getting a few, I think.
Oh! Actually, I think what she might be doing
is Honey Nectar on
Sunshine. Because
they should stay awake and she
last cycle got honey in her squirter so that's going to allow her...
Ginny are you okay?
She is watching TV.
She was watching those Adult Swim commercials.
Oh ok, she should be in bed but fair enough.
Sunshine's really mad because he really likes nectar and so Kobe is going to boom.
Asking us if it's okay
to mark the goal there.
And boom, that's
that goal done.
Is it a terrible idea? Because that puts Kobe on game point. Is it a terrible idea to just gun for like like, all doors change room
or something like that?
I think it might be faster
to go for 700 happy points
at this point.
Okay.
She talked them more
given the ticket stub.
Well...
If she had a ticket stub
that would just be the final goal.
But right now it's like she is chipping away at happy points.
Yeah, right now she is doing this very difficult block puzzle
It actually looks kind of hard
It is kinda hard because blocks don't snap
With the physics of the game and how strict the requirement is for the location
it is kind of...
She messed it up!
Two of them are literally the same.
I wouldn't be surprised if it looks different on different monitors.
It has to move the diamond.
Notably, Jaxxler's on his way to Jenny's room too
so she might be able to, for example
get Mort a gift
or Jaxon might
be able to snipe Mort's gift right
from under her
That'd be tragic
That would be tragic.
That would be kind of cool.
I won't lie. It'd be a really cool snipe.
We'll see.
He's going straight there
so
We have a quick five dollar donation from
anonymous, let's go bingo
Thank you
Kobe's leaving the foyer, or leaving to foyer.
So DraftKings is going to get more a gift.
I'm honestly really happy that one got marked off.
I don't want to see my boy be sad.
Love you more.
I love his theme, too.
The music in this game is insane.
It's really good, yeah.
Sound design especially, yeah. It's so good.
Sound design especially too.
And it looks like Kobe's off to Bedroom.
Is there a good source of happy points
in Bedroom right now
or is it
for bedroom shortcut? I assume bedroom shortcut. You just have to climb up and shoot
that's it yeah that's the last bedroom check we have, I think
mm-hmm so ultimately you might be coming up on the game for kobe uh a lot of these like really fast
goals were kind of difficult for jacksler to ever do because kobe is just executionally so good.
Oh my gosh, and so she really done for a lot of them.
We haven't explained plug drops, do you want to?
Yeah, normally when you fall
You get put in a falling
state and it hurts
when you land. That's part of the limitation
Or founding kitchen. Of being a
Right. Of being a TV robot is you
have to be really
careful about your
movement, but like
if you're doing
basically any
animation at all
it can take
priority over
the falling
state animation
and conveniently
the best way to do that
is actually just picking up your plug
right before you fall off.
And it's fun.
Yeah, it's a
funky little
animation cancer.
She didn't have the
ticket stuff.
It was Jack's
that had the
ticket stuff.
Okay.
But she's just
doing this and then
getting the bedroom
shortcut, which should
secure the win. Yeah. She's like
fist pumping so she knows
But what if
Jax just does it right now? Like in her mind
Like Jax does it
in five seconds?
Kobe's Wii could explode right here and now.
Yeah.
We've been saying this.
It's going to happen sometime.
I mean, I don't know.
Our Wiis don't... I don't think Wiis are prone to exploding.
They're just prone to not reading discs properly
But Jaxter is going to
go to Ginny's doors
Ginny's room doors I think.
Which makes a lot of sense and Coby is coming
up on the 13th goal so get
ready on time whenever
she marks this. All you have to do
is snipe this little sticker but honestly a very good showing of this game.
Definitely.
And time!
Yeah! They're saying something. Actually, can we get a standing ovation for this? This has been 10 years in the making. We deserve this, thank you.
Thank you all so much for watching this. Let's go
bingo!
Let's go bingo!
Let's go bingo!
Let's go
bingo!
Welcome to So real fast, we have that incentive to get to... I'm gonna do me and Haxxy. Yeah it got met!
We're gonna
do our quick shoutouts because we're not going to be on
commentary for the incentive
but then we're going cut into a break screen
to get set up real fast. I want to give
a huge thank you all to letting me be on this run i don't really play chibi
robo i played it casually when this got in at least a little bit and that's been my only
experience this is literally just me liking bingo a ton.
I love this format, and I want to give you an option
to go play bingos.
This format is just such an amazing way
to get together with some of your friends
and just play a video game. And it's such
a fun time, there are so many great bingo tournaments and stuff like that. So many games
have such amazing bingos and they really are some of the best ways to play speedruns
I'm a huge huge fan and I'm so so happy that we won got a bingo in this marathon
and that I'm on the couch for it and I could hype it up as much as I did. So thank you so much
for letting me be on here.
Maxie, what do you have?
I committed to commentary like
16 hours ago. I did not have anything ready.
I'm just going to say let's go bingo! Let's go just going to say, let's go bingo!
Well thank you so much for joining us.
Your knowledge is incomparable
when it comes to bingo.
We're going to go ahead and get set up for that incentive, right? I'm so excited.
I'm ready to watch this from the couch hopefully. We'll see you in after the break! Thank you
all so much again.
Thank you all so much again. Thank you so much, you too.
Oh my goodness
that was so fun to watch!
Don't go anywhere folks we! We have a really awesome
glitch exhibition for you
but I wanted
to mention really quick we do
have a character choice
Blazing Chrome Bidwar here character choice blazing chrome
bid war here. We have
Mavra and Doyle. Doyle's in second. I think that
it would be really awesome to see Doyle
for this war, in this big war. Can we get some
donations? Make sure you select
each character, which one you want
when you are donating. Speaking
of donations, we have a really
awesome donation punctuating an amazing bingo.
Excuse my pronunciation, Cooper Mordeaux donated $1,000.
Oh! Thank you. donated $1,000 with our favorite phrase
Let's Go Divorce!
We have a $25 donation from anonymous hopping on that hype.
Love to see Chibi, Robo and katamari in the same block two games where you were just a little guy
a little friend
sega star donated ten dollars Sega Star donated $10. Great job, Kobe and Jaxler! I'm happy to call both of you friends.
Wish I was there. Let's go bingo!
I am a woman of my word, and we did have a bingo rhyme here that I didn't get to read.
We have $25 from Tuna the Titan.
Y'all want bingo rhymes well i don't have
the best lingo but i think if i look out my window
i can find one in santo domingo We have a little bit of hype here from sherbet the tiger
donating ten dollars had to donate during chibo chibi robo it's been my favorite game
since it came out i'm so excited for this interesting category! Here's $10 for Doctors Without Borders
and for the Glitch Exhibition Incentive, thank you so much
for making this exhibition that we're preparing for possible.
Thank you!
This one made me giggle. All right, miss donated $25 to MSF voluntarily putting myself into the retirement home so I can enjoy bingo for the rest of my days.
Let's go, BINGO! SINDARKFATES donated $15.
Woo, that's you! Let's go
bingo!
Case gave a generous $55 to MSF. I have a handful of extra tickets for this Chibi Robo Blitz exhibition train.
Excited to see a speedrun
of my favorite games on my birthday!
Let's go!
Happy birthday, Case! I hope you really enjoyed that bingo moment.
And you helped make this exhibition coming up possible. Quick little reminder that we have a bonus twists level incentive for quake
to enhance we are at six thousand dollars out of
that fifteen thousand dollars already met folks make sure you're
scrolling down and clicking that incentive if
you want to see an extra secret level
to the Clique 2 Enhanced Run. so I just want to remind us part of why we're all here raising money for Doctors Without Borders.
Doctors Without Borders is an independent international organization that provides emergency medical care to the people who need it most.
MSF cares for people affected by conflict, disease outbreaks
disasters and social exclusion in more than 70 countries

MSF teams include medical, logistical and administrative staff most of them hired locally their actions
are guided by medical ethics and the principles of independence impartiality
and neutrality to learn more please visit doctors DoctorsWithoutBorders.org
I don't know about you but Chibi-Robo is all about making people happy
and it sounds like its the perfect game for MSF
And it looks like we're ready
for the Glitch Exhibition!
Take it away,
folks!
Alright, that's GDDQ what is up?
Thank you all so much for meeting this in set.
This was a very kind of last minute thing that we threw together
So we're very quick and also how quickly y met that. That was just mind-blowing to me
Thank you all so much
Alright, so they give you an idea of what we're gonna be showing you
We're just going to be showing you, We are just gonna be showing a whole bunch of nonsense.
So as you probably heard throughout the course of commentary
Two to three major tricks but there's a whole bunch of
Nonsense that happens as result of those tricks.
So we're going to take you on a tour of what some of the things are here
and so I'm gonna start out with this hot right right here
We're gonna do some nonsense with drawer glitch.
I don't know if it got covered.
Did you cover it? Awesome, sweet.
So we don't really
see this all that often
because when we actually use
drawer glitching, it's going to... By the way, this hot rod
is a drawer.
Little known fact.
So yeah, there you go. That angle's a little funky.
It's going off rails.
Whenever you're doing drawer glitch and
take the drawer off of its rails,
it gets very, very
funky. Flashing lights warning.
So first of all...
so now I've stopped doing the drawer glitch
Now if I go ahead and say push it from this side
It's going to phase in and out of reality just very, very quickly.
It keeps wanting to teleport back to its original position is what it wants to do.
Yeah but then you keep overriding it because you're like hooked onto it
And that's what happens when you push it
But when you pull it...
It goes all the way back. Bye.
Goodbye forever.
It's gone now. Yeah, and so
the funny thing is that's actually still a physical hitbox
you can like, if you really wanted to
make it a mobile platform, so it's kind of funny
I'm going to do a quick soft
reset because I'm going to do one more
I forgot that if I put the hot rod out over thin air, it's not going to allow me to do this next bit.
This is a very silly one but we're doing a Jorg which in the opposite direction, so this is going to be...
I'm trying to think directions here for a second.
Wrong direction!
Need to hold forward.
There we go. Oh, so we're doing
a pulling drawer glitch right there and what we are doing is just
pulling this right in front of the chibi door and if I go ahead and we stop flipping it.
It's over.
So this is the moonwalk softlock.
If something is stuck in the way
of Chibi-Robo trying to get into this spot
and I don't know why because usually
Chibi can clip through things like this
but if you put that like a
something like hot rod there
You're just stuck
It's like I can't pause
I can't do anything like that.
Alright, backyard time?
You're going to go into
the back yard next
so we're going to swap over
to Kobe's screen for a second
so take it away, Kobe.
Yeah, we got both up
so I'm in the backyard
and I'm going to clip out
of bounds real quick
as we have been doing the whole time.
I'm sure everybody noticed.
So where I've bounced is actually a decent amount
of collision back here but what I'm going to do
is I'm going to try to get underneath
this. I'm going to have to do a clip without getting up there we go so don't
mind the green line that's cheating that's him trying to jump up this ledge but he can't
so we're just going to keep walking out of bounds and
behind the backyard... Oh, I have another clue dude. Yeah you have to walk over here
So this is actually way harder than it looks and the best part
is that this is all for something completely irrelevant.
There's like, whenever you're clipping through a set of two walls that are very close together
You have no... not a lot of runway so it makes the inputs really tight
This one's pretty hard. I want to start getting into the next one before I do this, because...
So, to give you an idea of what to expect, for whatever reason
this game just has a bunch of random nonsense lying about out-of-bounds
and so there is like all sorts of like
Just wilds, truly just wild stuff.
I mean I can see it in the mirror.
If I can't get...I'll try to get over here.
That kid eggplants! If I can't get it, I'll try keeping over. I just want to show your hips with Jack's yeah next thing
That's kid eggplants. He's a posing out there telly's on there you say hi to kid eggplants everybody
Go to the next one. I'll try to hear closer if I can, but this is a really finicky clip. Alright so this one is going to come with a noise...
Of course!
Go ahead and get ready, but I'll just explain
We're in like an
on a half loaded living room because this is like what you can see through
the window of the backyard but we're just gonna keep walking
underneath the ground and uh we're just gonna say hello to our friend kid eggplants here he is
and uh telly television's here too in the ground
i don't know why they're not interactable they're just kind of
you're just kind of vibing imagine tele imagine Telly here is like, you know when
you have a cat and it just
sits by your ankle?
That's the vibe that's giving me right now.
Anyways don't mind my screen go ahead and do your thing.
So I'm going to show this is a two part thing I'll do your thing. Yeah, okay.
So what I'm going to show you... This is a two-part thing.
Oh wait!
Warning for sound.
Very loud sound warning.
Anyway so in the Any% speedrun for the Wii version of the game which only came out in Japan long story
We do something called leg early that allows us to do like a really big like major set of Story Flag sequence breaks
So this is like another use of story flag sequence breaks. So this is another use of the drawer glitch
in order to get that off the rails,
and then eventually this will just snap on top of you.
No other drawer works like this by the way.
I think, well... They this, by the way.
They adapt in different ways.
In different ways, right?
And we found one right now.
Yeah and so normally you do this
in a speed run to grab this
and it lets you skip a whole bunch of quest items. But, you notice that I said on the Wii version?
So if you do this glitch and you pick up
the leg while, like,
I believe it's while mom is in the room
Yeah!
And you haven't hit a certain flag. Here comes the volume warning.
So the spiders are not going to load in, and...
Crash.
The game has crashed!
Alright, we got...
That's one of the only two crashes in the game
and that wee crash sound
I was literally scared. I never heard that before
Do you want to go
to...I can go to the living room
out of bounds if you want me to. Oh, I'm there already
Yeah, let's finish up with that
Did you turn yours off?
No, I could not
And now I can do fireplace
Okay, we're good
You might have seen us do this
sometimes in the bingo where we went out of bounds
behind the TV here and you guys probably explained
it. There's like a hundred gulags
just here, no? No. Okay well
I did it but they didn't explain it.
Fun fact!
The reason why we did this
is because just randomly
the devs
they accidentally left 100 moolah
this year
and it respawns
every time you enter the room
so it's a really good source of money
but what we're actually here for is that.
So, we're gonna keep going till my camera fixes itself
and there we go so we're way out of bounds
and this like floating little circle thing here.
I wonder what it's all about?
Oh!
We plugged into an invisible outlet.
We're just charging off of nothing.
This is fair. And another
trippy thing about out of bounds, if I noticed, like once
you get far enough out of bounds, you start seeing reflections.
So you can see Chibi-Robo reflected
and you can see the reflection of
the bare bones living room over there.
Yeah, so the way that they...
Because computationally doing reflections in a video game is like a lot.
So well, the way that they did it and which I think is genius
is they just made copies of everything
they wanted reflected or thought would be visible
and just made a copy of it,
flipped it upside down over the axis.
So like if you do it in the bedroom as well
there's trees everywhere
and it's really bizarre.
We're going to go ahead
and softlock our game again.
So,
to close this off here
we are going to
go ahead
and visit
what I like to call
the hell dimension.
Hey,
welcome
to the heck dimension. Hey, well...
The heck dimension!
The gamer dimension.
All we're gonna do is just wall clip
right in world's shortest
loading screen for some reason,
you're gonna see Chibi-Robo mirrored again
and this place has some really bizarre properties.
It's an unused fireplace area
like it was probably intended in the game originally
that you were going to be able to go into Fireplace. Yeah. But we're
here now, the games completely soft locked
I'm lowering my battery here so
Cheater Girl takes a death but
You can't die in here
It may say we are dead, we not. The timer never goes down either so
we're just stuck. You can use that at least once.
I think you could use like suits made... No, you can't get any suits in there right?
Well right now I have to go back and...
Well you definitely can't write it.
No, Z does nothing because
there's no programmed
V actions in this vehicle.
Yeah, you torched
it but...
And no matter how far I
walk, nothing ever happens.
She just runs driver and
I think we're...
That's pretty much it!
Yeah, I mean that's like probably something left
Who knows? This game is messed up
if you can't already tell
But yeah, like we said
this is only scratching the tip of the iceberg with some
nuts stuff that you can do. So we're just going to go ahead and wrap up here
Scoop's gonna wrap up with some shoutouts but I want to say everyone thank you
so much! You are all the best and we both of us
super duper appreciate it. Thank you!
Go for it Scoop.
Now you got me teared up for that.
So this game has literally been submitted to GDQ
for more years than there are any percent runners on the leaderboard.
Thank you, GDQ, for letting us show this off and thanks Jackson Kogi for playing for us all.
I'm glad that I was able to commentate for this event
thank you to my co-commentators as well, Shelva Claus
and Hatsy
And thank you to the original group of runners which which PhD by chaos on a crazy next nose okie
I'ma for unknowingly discovering clipping Bosby for early SDA miscellaneous routing and cutscene tricks CW 15 for findings here
And thank you Haxey for your involvement in the game
Thanks runners that popped in here
and then I never really met Dice Run, Atomo, Lore Apocalypse, Lil Gamers. And a big thank

Thank you very much.
Good job.
We have never interacted before, but your hard
work and passion have truly inspired me.
Thank you so much for being here.
So all of them up in the air. Thank you so much for being here. This is one of the most vital games in my life,
I literally would not be the same person if it weren't for this game,
It has affected me on a fundamental level
This game contributed directly to developing
My current thought processes and general outlook
In both casual play and speedrunning
Despite the small community I've made good friends
that have impacted me on a similar level.
I was recently speaking to a friend
on the concept of being engrossed in something.
Motivation and passion can be such
a sparse rare feeling in my opinion
And is one of the most crucial things in life but it's so hard to hold on to.
I've been playing this game often off-on and off for 11 years
And any news never fails to capture my interest.
For the first time in a while, I've actually had that same obsession with
a different game than Big Catch which literally cites this game as inspiration.
You should always list that game on Steam and play the prologue.
It is legit up there with Celeste,
Hallneight etc. I don't want to see that game go
the same route as Chibi-Ro did in terms of not getting
recognition it deserves. Anyway motivation motivation is such a life-changing thing
even for something like a video game
that something that the general public still hasn't really accepted
as the value had in passion community games
all because of distraction and waste of time or whatever. I get that
it's important to focus on a career
and a sustainable future but it's not like you can't
have both so if you're someone listening
who has internalized that sort of opinion
despite having this passion.
Please do not feel ashamed for yourself or like you have wasted time engaging in those activities.
That's not an excuse to completely disregard responsibilities, but let yourself have that passion.
It can truly change your life for the better.
That's all I had to say. Thanks again for watching.
Thanks for letting me rant.
Thank you anyone who has touched this game.
Thank you to the people who made this game thank
you gdq thank you doctors without borders you're
doing such important work especially right now
thank you everyone who's supporting them and
please continue to do so it goes a long way um that's all i have
i need like water thank you everybody thank you thank you so much! Oh, wait, wait, wait...
I'm sorry, one more thing.
Yeah?
If you enjoyed the showcase and bingo please donate $9.25 which was the total happy points of Jack Slayers and Kobe's after bingo.
Alright, thank you!
$9.25
for that donut train.
$9.25 thank you let's open it up
wow what an amazing, amazing word spoken by Scoops. Thank you so much! I love hearing about games from folks who love them. Jack Slur is truly a gem and congrats to ko bazco on her win It's been such a pleasure hosting for you.
The crowd and chat have had the best energy today.
Before I go, let me introduce a very special interview we have
in store for you. Does
Evil Zone sound familiar?
If it does, OG
Willie, do I have an interview for
you? Tell us all about Evil Zone.
Keys are on.
Well, there's the Strega
There is psychic force that does it
But I think evil zone really
Is like the perfect plan.
Guys! Huh? What?
We have an interview.
Interview? Oh!
Right!
We're actors. Hello everyone, keys are on here with the legends of evil zone we have uh you guys
talk they're there.
This is your interview, I'm just here.
Hi, I'm Caveman.
Hi, I'm DragonBlitz.
We are doing the Evil Zone tournament here live at GDQ Wednesday at 4pm.
Be there or be square. Where am I? There? Be there!
You work this department.
I'm in charge of the department.
Alright so clearly
you two have never played a single
video game four games on Quick. Ever.
No! This is going to be our first one. It's my 10 year anniversary. Long time runner, first time runner.
So what can you tell me about Evil Zone that makes this the perfect game for GDK?
Well, let's honestly check it out.
This is what I'm looking forward to.
Yeah, so Evil Zone is the hottest two-button fighting game on the PS1.
You know... Let me go through my spiel real quick.
It's got two buttons, one attacks...
The other one doesn't.
There are directional inputs
so it is a very accessible fighting game
and has all the nitty gritty that you'd expect
Beautiful animation!
The music bops, dude.
I mean look it's Evil Zone we've been running tournaments
every GDQ
for 9 and a half years started at AGQ 2015
Yeah almost the 10year anniversary of Evil Zone
tournaments and this will be the first time
that any fighting game tournament
finals is going to be streamed live
on the main GDK channel.
Yeah so for those who don't know
there are onsite activities
for the attendees to do
and tournaments are one of them
gamesdonequick.com slash
activities by the way
for anyone interested any attendees in the audience
looking for something to do?
Yeah, so I want
to highlight that there are stuff to do. So I want, you know, hey, maybe we can get that on the
mainstream, get some
eyes
on it, some appreciation for a
long-standing GDQ tradition.
The longest standing GDQ tradition. I was going to say, Evil Zone has been
a huge part of my
ten years
of going to the EQs.
Evil Zone has been a constant in all of them.
And I came as just an attendee
and now I am
a tournament organizer
for these events now
as Caveman over here
has gotten very busy
with, you know,
running the show.
I'm busy.
I wasn't ready
for the voice line from that game.
That's John St. John's, by the way.
Oh, is it? Okay, fantastic.
So yeah, just a quick
history recap
for people who have not been aware of Evil Zone somehow.
These tournaments were
small, like maybe six, seven,
eight of us or whatever and now they
fill out the entire practice room
the entire tournament room wherever they're hosted
for that particular event. Really good icebreaker if you've never been to a
tournament here at GDQ it's also as mentioned mentioned, two buttons.
You cannot fail! I mean you will probably lose but
you will not fail and you will make a ton of new friends
and also we'll laugh at everyone who signs up.
Yeah so because we're going to be on the mainstream this year
actually I have a little prize,
I have a fantastic prize for the...
Really?
Oh yeah let's show it!
You haven't seen this.
No one has seen this
So here is the fabulous prize.
So... let's see if we can get it out.
LLK, GDQ's resident artist was kind enough to provide with us a full art, full cast poster
for Evil Zone.
Why don't we get a nice zoom in on that?
Very glossy.
The reason why it's a glossy finish is because
I want the entrance of the tournament to sign this bad boy and then
the winner of the tournament uh finals on friday is gonna take it home oh wow so it's gonna be
a one-of-a-kind thing and you can win it y'all can win it any one of you can win it. Y'all can win it. Any one of you
can win it.
Yeah,
does anyone in the crowd
want to play Evil Zone?
Yeah,
who wants to play Evil Zone?
We are not...
This isn't a bit.
There is a table
right over here
for anybody.
Where'd Jsler go?
Jacksler, get over here and sign up for Evil Zone!
Jacksler we told you to help with it.
Where are you?
This is terrible.
This went horribly wrong.
Hey, you!
You right there with the white shirt.
Come over here and sign up for Evil Zone, Wednesday at 4.
Alright he's doing it! He's doing it!
C'mon let's get another one!
Alright there is one meeting for him.
Who else wants to meet?
C'mon c'mon!
Everybody come on down!
Let's go!
Where's that Jacksers?
It's your whole video game!
Go over here and sign up.
And here is the secret I've signed up for every single tournament
I have never played a single match
What are you doing at Wednesday at 4 otherwise?
You're probably out for lunch or something but still, you can be signed up
not participate at all and still be part of history. If this is your first GDQ ever
I highly recommend at least doing something. Gamezonequick.com
slash activities by the way
sign up for something at all
yeah come on Jackson get your whole goon squad in
let's go
run run run you'll learn a new video game that's lots of fun.
Very easy to pick up.
People at home, people in the crowd, witness the unwashed masses and see how much
fun they're having.
Play Evil Zone.
Play anything. If you are at the event, it's their sign-up page. fun they're having. Play Evil Zone, play anything!
If you are at the event there are signups in
the tournament room next to the World 9 setup
You can ask either of us where to sign up and we will direct
how to signup for the Evil Zone tournament. I will have signups
on me. You will probably hear us Wednesday
at 4 screaming for Evil Zone signups
last call, so...
Be there, be square, it's a lot of fun.
I know exactly how to end this interview.
I'm going to go on my Twitter real quick and just post over and over, sign up for Evil.
Okay now this is the good TV that we've been missing.
Keys opening Twitter. Can we get it close. Keys opening Twitter.
Can we get a close-up on Twitter, actually?
Cam 3?
There it is.
Hey, alright.
Ready 3, take 3. Come on let's go!
Alright it's blurry but sign up for Evil Zone!
Okay hold on here we go...
Sign up for Evil Zone everybody!

We are all ready for our next one,
So I'm going to go ahead and get you over
To Harutomo with Katamari Forever All Go goals any. Take it away!
I'll start now.
Okay
Now okay Okay. My name is Enzo, I'm a Katamari runner from Australia, and I'm going to be commentating for Harukama which is a... who's a Japanese Katamari runner as well.
They play a lot of other games and they, but Katamari is sort of their specialty.
They're also the world record holder in this game.
Um, they don't speak a lot of English so I'll be mainly commentating for them.
Alright? I think we should
be all good and ready to go straight away
so I'll give you the countdown
then we will start
So okay
5 4 3 2 Okay, five, four, three, two, one.
Go!
Thank you.
Okay so this game is Katamari Forever it's sort of the kind of the fourth game the fourth
kind of main game in the series the fourth console game um and this is kind of a tribute
game so it's a collection of mostly other levels from other games. So this level
is actually from Beautiful Katamari which is the Xbox game. This one you've got to try and roll up
hot objects basically, so you can see on the top left,
temperature. The goal is 10 000
degrees Celsius and you kind of see that at the bottom. And so Haru
is trying to roll up all these hot objects while avoiding cold objects. See, whenever you grab a cold object that heat will kind of turn purple and you'll lose a bit of...
I betcha you've got to be careful with it. You can actually die if you're not careful quite easily
um and so in this run this is the one we're doing by the way probably should
preface with this is we're doing um all categories of royal rainbow
royal rainbow
um so we're doing all categories
and so what that means is
basically, in this game you can't
do kind of a speedrun from
a fresh copy. You need to actually beat the game first
or else the game doesn't let you leave levels early so you'd be stuck
you finish the level straight away and then we start waiting for the timer
most other katamari games you can leave straight away, but
this one doesn't let you.
Which is a bit sad, but we have to
run our new game pass basically.
So
one fun part of that though is we have all these alternate modes to play in our knock there's
a few different ones this endless which just means there's no time limit it's just the normal mode
but what we're going to use is mostly the drive
mode. We won't always use it, but
using drive mode you just
move really fast pretty much. You move super
fast so
it's obviously good for speedrunning. You're moving crazy fast. It's pretty good.
The one thing though is Katamari is actually quite difficult to control.
It might be hard to see watching if you've never played before,
but you sort of control the game with a dual stick
control scheme which is
quite unique, but it's
a little tricky at first.
And you'll actually see in this stage,
and the reason why we're doing this stage
and the one before first is because they are really difficult
so normally you run them early
so that you can reset a lot if you need to
um
But here harry's got it. No
It's really tricky to get this climb up here because we're so fast. So i was gonna back up nice good
yes, so so i was gonna back up nice good yes so we've got these three oh he's gotta grab one more up here and her basically has to do these tricky
oh nice jump okay this should be easy so one more jump into the middle
so you don't with just an r2 button but it can be quite difficult because you don't have a lot of
movement control okay that should be it or a little too small yeah there you go royal rainbow royal rainbow
so now we're going to be heading towards a tutorial
so with this tutorial i'm gonna explain the movement a bit more clearly
so katamari uses dual sticks so you only use
really the left and the right stick to move with the only exception being that
you'll jump with R2. But otherwise, you're moving with the left and right sticks so if
you put both six forward you go forward, forward. Both sticks back, you go back
Both stick left, you go left. Both sticks
right, you go right and anywhere
in between those
But the one other thing
or two other things you can do is if you have
one stick up and the other down then you'll turn the camera to the left.
Or the right. So we have left stick down and the right stick up, you'll turn left
And right stick down, left stick up. You turn right
So you can basically whichever
stick is down
And now so that's really your
main controls. You'll see in a pop-up on the
side where it says sort of going forward or directions to move around
and then one other control is actually that you can flip by pushing both the six down like your
l3 and r3. And basically controlling
Thor's movements and moving around consistently
is sort of
what makes a good
runner. Now as well as that,
you'll see all these objects
that Iris is picking up affects the shape.
So I'd say these puzzle pieces are sort of bouncing about
as they hit that floor.
Now each of these objects will actually affect how you move.
So one difficult thing about the game is,
you've sort of got this quite difficult movement to be very consistent on top of every single
object.
Bane ball!
But every single object will affect your
movement, and so each of these objects are going to make
actually quite a big impact on how you move around
and so the game kind of becomes quite inconsistent in a way that's actually
quite fun. So because
it's so inconsistent, you really need to
just feel how the ball
moves and get... like really get
it in your bones what's going on
but there's such a strong kind of gut feeling you'll build up in
this game as well as actually which we can kind
of explain on the next stage. Most stages in this game will
have the goal of make a star and what that means is really you're trying to hit
a certain size goal for the most part.
In most levels, you've got a certain size you need to hit and so routes in this game are
really just the fastest way to hit that size. And these can actually quite
often change and develop over time, so the more runners you have in this game, the faster
you improve on these kind of sets quite quickly. And so
even new
runners actually can sometimes come up with
really creative and innovative
ideas on how to do routes
in this game, and the more runners we've found,
levels have improved so much quite quickly suddenly.
It can be crazy how long we've been playing
the game and then someone do comes in with a
completely different idea that no one ever came up
with, and it's just faster. But for the most part
It's mainly built on size breakpoints.
So there'll be really important objects that you need to grab
and you need to be big enough for that object.
What we're doing here is Haru trying to aim
around 10.6cm for this king chest piece up there, so Haru is pretty clean for that size, should be easy
And then using that, Haru's trying to get 15.3cm to grab these pears in the spell
So Haru's a little too small and now her is good so I can grab those pears, and it's all about really trying to hit those sizes. So everything
you were doing earlier, paying attention to how big you are going to be
do I need a... am I gonna be big enough by the time I get there? Because if you're
there and your too small it's already too late. Often by the time you get to that object
If you're not big enough, you need to do
quite a lot of extra movement to catch up from that.
So really paying attention to your size and watching that
is what makes sort of the Katamari route.
And it's less about where you're going and more
what objects you're grabbing.
So these stages, a lot of these ones have either been from Beautiful Katamari or from Katamari Forever.
This game there was two original stages the King Robot one where we kind of built him up in the tutorial um the rest of these ones were from
beautiful katamari but now we're actually gonna have a we love catamarans stage so this one's
underwater that's got a really great song but um, um... A tricky part of this one
is these fish cycles. So these fish move
around on a fixed cycle
and if you're a little off the cycle
it can be hard to make
up that size quickly and know like,
oh I'm a little late.
I need to actually instead grab these fish or okay the
fish are going to be at this time here now
or got a bit pumped out but I was heading
up to grab this heart
and I didn't actually mention these hearts
earlier but so what they do is they're a unique
feature of this game.
So whenever you grab
the heart all these objects will get pulled towards
you including that scuba cat there.
If you can see it kind of there.
Oh, the scuba's gone.
Yeah, that scuba cat's fun. It's just a cat
sitting in the water with a bunch of fishing rods.
Or scuba diving hat.
Or scuba mask? I don't know what you call it.
Scuba goggles, that's the right word.
We got there. Yeah. Took a bit but we're there.
Words are hard! Listen words are very hard
There's so many items in this game
Yeah there's a lot
and some of them even have fun names
So like that fishing cat is actually named
Tom.
So it's Tom the
Fishing Cat.
There are even some kind of fun things like
I think, some people have
theorized doing an all names
run where you just try and collect
every unique named object
there is also
all, like, complete
collection runs of some of the other games.
I don't think anyone's done it for this game yet
but
it can be a real
challenge. Like, the uh it can be a real challenge like the first game is quite researched a bit but the second
game like there's i think there's only one run done and it took 12 hours. Oh my gosh!
And that's not including all of the long preparation to set up
for that run, so it can be quite a lot to do complete collection
But back to this run
um this one is from katamari damasi this is actually the first game
which is the game i run the most so maybe i should have talked more in that stage of my specialty.
But that's alright.
This next stage again is also from We Love Katamari, but yeah this game is just a collection of other games really
there's a couple original stages but it's mostly like uh
uh it's just a collection it's the greatest hits package, kind of.
Pulling out loads of different areas and
it's got some cool things like
different modes where...
And different art styles actually.
There's one that's pretty cool where
everything starts gray and when you grab objects they start to show up in color
um i always like that mode i think it looks
cool
but um one thing i wanted to mention around here is that there's these pop-ups whenever you hit a certain size, and these are kind of your size breakpoints or your loading.
And they're pretty important actually because they do a couple things.
One, there's some where you need to just press start
and you'll have to know which ones you'll have to press start for
I mean if you press start on a random one it's not that bad but you'll lose
your time. So there like the king pops up and the game freezes,
and at those points Haru is always skipping the cutscene to get ahead
And you'll see... ah Haru gonna be pumped a lot of them lucky
those hills you can actually get really crazy speed in this drive mode um you'll see another
one here well we didn't get too much feed, but sometimes that's actually for the better because
that movement can be really tricky when you're speeding down at a lightning fast pace. light big bar space.
It's really stunning when it actually goes through. I think on a
later stage we might get to see that
but it can be
actually sometimes a problem if you go too fast.
So maybe it's not bad
that I revamped it to that point.
But anyway, there's loading screens
another thing they do is they actually activate the cycles
for some of the next areas so like when you activate that loading zone it'll run through
and all these npc cycles will start for the next area.
So you need to know what cycles are going to start when you reach what time
because, say if you do the start really fast, you need to know that okay
the NPCs are all gonna be a little ahead of normal so I need to know that okay the npcs are all going to be a little ahead of normal so i need
to know that or else some of those mpc's that i want to roll up i'm gonna have them miss or skip
will change my route to reach those faster or maybe there's npcs that'll bump into you and send you
flying away and i need to know that i'm not
going to get hit by that kangaroo there those kind of things they do actually matter a lot.
And it can be really hard to keep track
of all of the cycles going through,
especially even some of the NPCs are connected.
So if you hit one of them,
it'll slow down another one and it will pause that
so you need to know like oh i'm gonna hit this then this other one will also be paused
so each of these interactions really needs to be on top of your toes knowing what's going to happen
but uh this stage is quite long and we'll see this part a couple times so
we can use this part to read a couple donations donations here. Oh, absolutely!
We have so, so many!
I have a $10 donation from
Jim Jam that says very simply
Royal Rainbow. Thank you
so much for your donation. I have a $25 donation from CyberbotX, roll this comment up in the Katamari and send it to the king of all cosmos so how to turn will get some good luck on the run run let's also get that bonus twist level for a
gdq to enhance our tbq oh my gosh quake 2 enhanced rolled up as well oh my goodness
nicole words are hard they are of course referring to the bonus
twist level which is at 7,243 out of
15,000 we're almost 50% at what we need for
that bonus so if you want to see those when you donate,
go ahead and select that for your incentive.
I forgot what time it was. One more last
ten extra. Absolutely!
I have $25 from Imphth Anom, good to see you back at HGDQ or my goodness
GDQ Harutomo-san Ganbattei Royal Rainbow.
I'm just adding letters where they don't belong.
I'm taking letters out where they do belong?
What's happening?
Happens to the best of us.
Oh my gosh, can we get a Katamari full of letters for me please?
Well yeah sometimes it can be a bit...
like when you're playing through this game and you mess up one thing at the start
And your goal over the place is to get messed up
Which is actually a good setting your goal over the place to get messed up.
Which is actually a good segue into
an interesting thing in this level, it's
normally in the first game
so this is from the first game they can just grab these jams
here but they're actually big in this game for some reason
they're huge so we have to do this whole weird side route walk all the way around kind of
grab these and go through this tunnel to grab the king's heart.
The king's heart probably wouldn't even normally be worth it in this stage,
but you're so small that you need to grab it.
And even these eclairs here which are normally shoe creams
these like cream puff balls but they've swapped to eclares for some reason
um those are also even bigger so you need
to change that whole route and add this whole side section
To make up for it
And just the change of one to two object sizes
Like only two objects are different
But the whole section there has to be completely changed
To fit that two objects
And it's crazy how much of an impact they can make
But alright here, um
Oh no!
Okay Haruza
Um Haruza you have to roll up these Genba Nekos
They're actually a Japanese kind of meme
Yosh!
So um those are
they call them like the on-site work cat and basically
do these cats that do kind of a pose with their thumbs stuck up
kind of like a finger gun pose on the side
it's a weird dance kind of like a finger gun pose on the side, with a weird dance kinda gesture.
Um... and they have a lot of memes about work safety
and sometimes not just work safety but just like
different things like answering the phone actually Actually there's a lot of weird
phone related memes and images
they're pretty funny. You could look
up Gemba Necco if you're curious
But anyway
continuing on to the actual
run, so here Hara is But anyway, continuing on to the actual run.
So here Haru's grabbing these fax machines aiming to hit...yep a solid 3 meters for those
Grabbed the dragon and here Haru is going to be kind of crossing
The lake ahead for the top area.
Now in the base game
or in Katamari no Masi
you can't jump and have to do this awkward climb
up this wall
Or you kind of vault yourself up using
that pole at hard cut.
But in this game, you just do a little bounce-up
which might even
be more difficult than just vaulting yourself
because vaulting can get quite consistent once you
get used to it. But the jump
is a little more finicky maybe.
But here
we should get an easy 12 meters to end.
Now we've only got a couple, well really
only two more little Makers South stages and then
we'll be on to the second half of this game.
This game is kind of split into two level sets.
So there's one, kind of on the right
and to be honest I've forgotten the name of those both
but that's alright.
I think there's the Robo King Memories
and Robooking something else.
But anyway, there's the two sets.
These sets are all mostly the Maker Star levels
and we're going through those.
So this is Maker Star 11 actually
and this is as large
as possible from We Love Katamari
Now in this game, Haru's grabbing
all these snowmen, grabbing the samurai armor
should be able to grab through
little too small so harry did a little walk around instead of
grabbing straight through the wall there now how are you trying to get big enough
for these tables a little too small so i was gonna have
to do a circle around and come back's a huge you can't really skip those
Now how I can get all the boxes and
So sometimes because her is moving so fast it can be hard to see these important objects that you're aiming for.
But you really need to know those and even know what size you are because just like earlier
Haru had to sort of go forward and then come backwards and grab them,
which adds a decent little
bit of extra time.
The more you're safe to playing in
normal mode... This mode's quite
fast so it's less punishing almost.
But in the normal game you move quite slowly even
So if you get that mistake
It can be really slow to just walk back
Most of the time if you miss an object,
You'll need to have a backup to something else you grab instead
because going back is too slow and in other times like at that table
you can't grab anything else, you
just got to get that one object. So here we've really been trying to hit
12 meters which I was up and now you're just trying to get big
enough for these huge round trees and i know a
lot of people love these big trees they're pretty satisfying
to roll up and even in this game you can actually get some really big points where you suddenly increase your size drastically using these Kings Hearts.
So it's quite fun to use those in speed through.
Now we're heading into the city, there is King Kong there randomly
I don't think King Kong is in the original version of this
I might be wrong someone gonna get mad at me and
the Katamari community later when they find out that I just lied to everyone on
stage. But that's alright it's fun to lie um
so here i was rolling up these walls and they're interesting because you can see
they kind of bounce you around as well so these kind of objects when you grab them they really distort
your shape so these long pointy objects, they start to bounce you around and vault you
And so if you're not careful you'll actually just start to bounce over the other objects
and miss what you are trying to grab.
So it can be quite tricky especially
say Haro is trying to grab these islands in there
Okay Haros got them.
But those are hard to get. You need to come in and
just a little spot to get inside
and if you miss it
it's quite tricky to come back in
and grab it. And they're really flat on the floor
so you can easily bounce over some of the islands
But here we should be at
a solid
1000
meters, so we are able to finish that level and now it's got one more normal make the level
but this one instead of being maker star we're gonna make them move
so this is the final stage in the first game um it's just a random stage at the middle
of this game. This stage is
quite... it sort of changed
a lot and not change much at all.
Casually, I don't think
you'd notice any other changes but as as a speedrunner it's very obvious.
Here we gotta watch how he's gonna be quite careful...
Okay nice!
Yeah that spot there at the start
it's actually very punishing to fall
if you fall at that start
It's really hard
to make up those sizes from those pictures
and couple things.
So falling is maybe one of the worst things you can do at the start
of this level, outside
some levels where you can just die
basically you need to basically,
you just need to watch through a long cutscene of the King
just getting mad at you and telling you that you're a failure.
If you don't have to deal with any of that, outside of that falling off moon is one of the worst things that can happen to you in a run.
Especially in the first game and this game there's much worse things that can happen but uh
luckily we're moving through pretty good normally this pachinko climb is really
rough but we can just jump over it so it's not that bad.
Luckily though, maybe it was good that we fell because that train might have
knocked us back down if
we were a little too fast!
So sometimes those mistakes can save you a little bit.
Or maybe Haru was just completely aware of the train cycle and moving
ahead of my brain.
But these NPCs are also moving at double speed in this mode so it can match
oh how i got bumped up by the boulder on the building
um Um, yeah.
Nice! Okay, Haru's got it? Yep.
Yep okay.
Oh a little too small.
But also when you get knocked around
You do actually lose your size too
So here Haru lost just a touch of size and...actually I thought
they would be big enough but it seems like the train is slightly bigger in this game I think
Or maybe I'm doing my calculation wrong actually but anyway iris should
be big enough to keep going now head down through grab these mushrooms we've got to skip that text mushrooms.
We've gotta skip that text, climb over here
and so Har is a little small here it's probably gonna take a bit longer
to grab these buildings so normally you grab these kind of
um holes at the top there i miss them but
it's okay how is gonna be fine if they keep going
you can roll up all these trees,
grab that to make it up. And this is actually the famous
game... nooo, they didn't need a Game Shop! But that's alright.
Another runner came out with a sort of
jump in that spot in the first game it's a pretty
crazy jump would be cool to look at maybe if there's a video on youtube
but anyway in this game we can just jump over otherwise you have to walk all the
way around here we can just walk through across
the other side aiming around 90 centimeters to get through the middle, yep.
Nice! I was just speeding through here.
Using that King's Heart to grab all those buildings
that can be otherwise quite tricky to get all of them.
Ah, fell down! That's okay.
Not too bad. Especially in Drive
mode you move so fast that it's not
super punishing.
So watching through this... nice good
move through there. That can be quite tricky.
There, spinning straight through the islands
A little bump
Yeah! So that's also an example
of when your geometry gets a bit
mixed up so grabbing that boat
that boat got locked under the other object and collided with it so harry
couldn't keep moving forward um her is a little small but should be
able to finish off quickly might take a little small but should be able to finish off quickly
might take a little bit of spinning around nice okay so now we've done all
the first half now we're heading to the second half of the game.
So, the next level is actually what-the last or second
last unique level from this game. This is called
Water. The water
level. Um... So... the water level um so this level you're basically you've got a
water katamari it's completely unique not really in any other game.
And you're a ball
of water and you need to
fill up the ground or hurry hit a tree.
And those trees
are a bit brutal. If you hit one of those
trees, they can really send you knocked
around. Nice dodge just didn't hit any
of those ones. So your goal here
is kind of to move around... Ooh!
Good tap on that tree though! Didn't get knocked much
So trying to kind of move through here
avoid the NPCs
Avoid the trees as well
and cover this ground with
grass. You don't need to fully do it but
should be pretty good with about here the finish
off a little more i was kind of aiming for around
um the second time should be towards 20 yeah i think that might
have been a bit extra to be safe but it should be good so now we're heading over to the race stage oh
so this one's interesting this is actually where drive mode originally
comes from but in this game we're not going to
select drive mode because it actually kind of stacks with the
normal drag mode so this in this version there's kind of a normal drive mode it makes you move
twice as fast and you'll kind of you you're speeding through. And here you
actually can't stop moving.
You can't stop. You just have to keep going.
You're a car. A car can't stop on
a dime so you can't stop on a dime.
You're just moving through, you're speeding through
and so...
I got a bit knocked around, that's okay
should be still a little
too small
Here you can kind of see if you get messed up a bit
it's really tricky to move back around because you can't stop in time
You just gotta keep going forward
Now we thought about trying to do this stage in the drive mode
In this game that you just move so fast
That you can't control anything
It's just lightning fast
So we still use just the knife It's just lightning fast.
So we still use the normal mode, which is still crazy
fast and difficult so it's fine.
But Hira should be heading through here so you can't flip here so how it's going to
be kind of walking into these balls trying to turn their camera set themselves up
so doing a little turn and then ready to keep going We have time for a couple of quick donations?
Yep, should be actually... I was going to aim
to do it in a couple levels but we can run it here. let's do something else awesome we have 25
from the king of all cosmos what's this so many impressive catamaris
we have never seen so many so fast we are inspired keep on rolling and Royal Rainbow.
And I also have $100 from the sound defense.
Go Harutomo-san!
Katamari is such a fun and relaxing game for me,
and it's wild to see Harut come vacuuming up objects as quickly as
they are. Good luck, and Royal
Rainbow! And I also have a $50
donation from Zaramisu, and a $10
donation from the Magic Man that both
say, Royal Rainbow. Royal the magic man that both say royal rainbow.
Royal rainbow.
Royal rainbow.
Royal rainbow.
Actually, even
if we won, if we really want to run through a bunch
We could actually use this stage for a couple donations too.
Oh sure! Absolutely
And chat, if you wanna join in on a fun little donation train
If you wanna send $7
As there are seven colors in the rainbow
for ROYGBIV, I have
a $25 donation from Snarglefargan
that says
if you want to guess what it says, you can join
along with me. rainbow i have a 20 donation from shiny that says
royal rainbow thank you so much for your donations i have 10 from amatari we love katamari less than three
thank you so much when I was younger.
So it's really fun to see the all coming through.
I have $25 from Nick Basushi
that says Katamari and GDQ
forever! Let's roll
up the donations for Doctors Without
Borders. And chat audience,
we are now at 7529 out of
15,000. We are 50% into
the bonus twists level for Quake 2
Enhance. Again if you want to see that
when you donate make sure you select that as
your incentive all right so here we want to make sure we watch ready
oh there's no room actually i mixed it up There's
Okay, well that's right the gate
Okay, I'll mention now we're heading into the sweet stage. So we're in the next half of the levels.
This one's kind of interesting actually in that
you've got a goal that shows up
in the top left corner. So our goal is to collect
as many sweets As possible for
Nyttel, Hansl and Gretel
And so we see
We've seen this goal
You can see the sides going up here
We actually don't care about the goal. All we care about here is hitting 1 meter and 30 centimeters
Oh no! The witch got us!
Um, to roll up these kids because that's the only way to end
We are rainbow
Royal Rainbow.
Royal Rainbow.
Okay, so
now when we finish up... So sometimes these
goals can be a little
misleading for what we actually care about in the speedrun.
Like, there's something that you're aiming to do but really
we're aiming for the size goal more than anything usually.
This next level though is actually just a speedrun stage.
It's normally as fast as possible, so the king is gonna
come help a kid who needs his room rolled up or like to clean up his room basically
the goal is to clean this kids room um and so it's actually kind of difficult
we're gonna be moving quite fast i just I've just got to hit a jump onto
the box to grab this heart
we'll see if Hari can get it in one go or
take a couple
but we'll be grabbing this heart and then
you really need to pay attention To the amount of objects remaining
By the time you reach, you finish the floor
Because if your missing one
It's gonna take... ahhh I got bumped a bit
Good jump though, good job.
Nice, didn't lose much time.
So heading through grabbing these
and really trying to get big enough
to grab these train tracks.
Nice, sorry it's big enough?
Could be a quick roll up
and oh they're not there yet, 17 Big enough. Could be a quick roll up.
Ooh, they're not there yet.
17...
Ah, how is it gonna be?
Yeah!
6 so far is good here.
Nice!
Good end.
Royal Rainbow.
Royal Rainbow.
Royal Rainbow.
Alright, so oh this next stage is actually infamous
for being really difficult So this is the cow bear stage now these are
in a lot of the katamari games now these ones you need to you need to grab the biggest cow
or bear possible and the goal really is the cowbear, which
is a cowbear
I mean that's the name in place
and you're aiming for this massive cowbear
while dodging all these tiny ones on the floor
which can be anything from like
a cone to a vending machine that sells milk. Counts as a cow too
Um and so because we're moving at drive mode
it's gonna be crazy hard to dodge all these objects so it's quite a
difficult stage as you can imagine like trying to avoid rolling up all these tiny objects.
Luckily though we actually don't care about that.
Royal Rainbow!
Royal Rainbow.
Royal Rainbow? Royal Rainbow.
Also, Blue Cheetah with $25
also says Royal Rainbow.
Royal Rainbow.
So
yeah, we don't actually care about grabbing the biggest objects
whatever is the smallest possible will let us pass and keep moving
so we just grab the tiny stick which makes that stage so much easier as you can imagine.
It's really annoying otherwise, and even running
like some of these complete collection runs where you have to do those objects
they can often be the biggest
time loss when learning, to try and make sure you get it in one go.
Because if you hit any other tiny pal
you're gonna rerun that level and it can be annoying if
he gets stuck doing the level 10 attempts or something failing over and
over um but here we're heading into the
firefly stage so we're helping this kid who wants to
study but it's too dark so we're going to roll up a bunch of fireflies
and aim to hit actually one meter and 50 centimeters, which will make a bright enough light
so he can study at night.
So we're going to help him succeed in his education.
Sometimes people can look at this game
and think
oh you're rolling up all these people like that's not very nice
but actually we are doing a lot of good things
and even though the people rolled up usually quite happy.
We had rainbow rolled up usually quite happy. Royal Rainbow!
Royal Rainbow!
And tattooed
2777 also says
Royal Rainbow. Thank you.
Nice, perfect. They were ready for it.
But actually that's a weirdly law accurate thing is that in the law apparently people like to be rolled up into the catamaran
it's a it's a pleasant feeling it's sort of like a oneness with the ball.
But here we'll be coming into the sumo stage, this is actually
one of my favorites, just for
the design of it.
Normally you're pushing the katamari which in japanese actually means clump
you're just pushing this clump and rolling that around and grabbing all these objects
this one will replace the katamari with a sumo wrestler. We've got
this sumo wrestler that's trying to get big and strong to win the fight, he's
too small now. Like this is a tiny sumo, he's never gonna win the fight
but we're going roll up a bunch of objects, it's going to stick to him
and as they keep
rolling up more, they're going to leave that
top layer, that outer layer
and they'll be absorbed into the catamaran so that
sumo will grow in size
And actually every object you grab into the Katamari so that Sumo will grow in size.
And actually, every object you grab kind of
works in a similar manner to this. So you've got an outer layer
of the objects you roll up and an inner
layer of the objects absorbed into your Katamari
to save memory space. Now as long as you don't get really
squeezed, which is when you're squashed between two
objects, you can't lose all of those
objects. So if you're this big like you can bounce and get bumped
and objects will fly off but as long as you have absorbed them into your Katamari
you'll keep them. And one interesting
fact is also, as
the sumo kind of rolls up stuff he
says like gochondesu which is
gotchi-sou samadesu style
thank you for the food but in like a sumo style
A lot of people always
wonder what he says and it's hard to hear
if you don't know any Japanese
And even if you do it can be a little tricky
So Haru should be big enough to take the fight
if Haru can get over there.
Little bigger trying to aim for...
Yep! There we go.
Just a bit more to get a good bounce
out. So now aiming your push out you should
all got it back coming so full roll up. So when you push them out they can say
a couple different things like oshi dashi or makikoma
royal rainbow royal rainbow my hero zero with five dollars royal and
might i add brand. Thank you so much
And they seem to all know what to say
Yeah, there's a layer on top of this
No nice almost it sounded like a message around or something
I have no idea.
It's beyond me.
Was there a Twitter post, was there... You know maybe.
Well anyway moving on. There's a... the next stage is actually a beautiful Katamari one too
This one will like... it can kind of show you how explosively your size or... you can just launch up at the end um this one you're aiming to hit
the goal of hitting like i think you're spending 100 mil 100 yen. You're aiming to spend
a hundred thousand yen in a grocery store. 300,000
yen sorry. But what we are going to do is just roll up a bunch of
stuff on the way and then roll over head-to-grab a bunch of stuff on the way. We're going to roll over, head to grab a bunch
of fruits, different small things
on the way and we're heading to be big enough
to head for some shelves because obviously
there's some stuff laid around
on the floor but the shelves, those are packed with stuff.
Because these... this staff is doing their job. So we're grabbing this
and they should be able to grab... yep nice got them! And it should be instant to finish here pretty much
heading through... and done.
Oh, get a jump! Nice.
Royal Rainbow.
So yeah, a lot of those stages uh like the goal is to get say to spend 300 000
yen but really as a speedrunner kind of a lot of it is thinking about
Okay to get that goal what I need to do is something to get big enough
To grab a lot of objects. Or to grab a lot of big objects
or to grab a lot of big objects, or to grab a lot of expensive objects in that case.
And that can be a combination
of working out where's the most densely packed areas
and whereas the most like optimal um optimal objects.
Some objects are more efficient and can be a bigger breakpoint
of being useful, and other ones are just not really worth the effort to go
out of your way to roll up a ton of tiny nothings
but this level is actually pretty interesting um this next level
is the school actually i got the got to play there and I thought
that next level was the campfire. This level
is a little less interesting.
It's still kind of cool. You're rolling
through this school grabbing all these kids
and right at the intro of this level, there's
these doors. And so whenever you walk through those doors, you'll be transported
to another section in the school. Um...and basically
there is no way in or out of the school.
It's just a looping infinite school.
But this school is only like two hallways
and each of those hallways are just filled with like three classrooms
and some bathrooms or soft rooms, those kind of things.
And here our goal is to roll up all the 100 students
and so Har should
be able to just about get this
and he, uh... a little too small
so here's Har missing
Got one there
two there Where's the last one
uh so that can be a difficult part yeah okay
because these kids are so tiny and they run around
royal rainbow around. Royal Rainbow!
Um,
so because those kids can kind of run around it can be hard to keep track of where they
are and you can kinda get mixed up and pretty easily miss one if
you're not careful because as you run into other kids they start to get nervous and they'll suck
the panic and run into all erratic, so it's actually quite
difficult to not miss any there.
But this next level is the one that I thought we were coming in too. This one
is quite interesting. This is the campfire level now there's two rules in
this one that well there's one rule really that's don't let your fire go out and so
you're kind of mario's on fire you're a campfire Katamari I guess.
So you are aiming to set the fire for the camp.
And what you're going to do is you need to roll up stuff
To keep your campfire active and you're aiming to hit 3 meters before your fire
runs out. So, and before the timer runs out
so we don't have to worry about the timer because ours is going to be way faster than that
but every object you grab is going to keep your fire
active and see that fire grows a bit bigger
If you don't grab any
objects in a short period, your
fire will just extinguish and you'll die
That's not really a problem for horror. I was going just extinguish and you'll die.
That's not really a problem for Harrow. Harrow isn't going to have any
problems grabbing objects.
The one thing Harrow is going to have to be careful of
is water.
Okay, safe. So walking through these edges
it can be quite scary that if you take one
small step you're going to fall in the water and get very heavily
punished so bonking on our NPC truck but hopefully and get very heavily punished.
Bonking on that NPC, but hopefully not bonking too hard to get sent flying into the water
And we're going to have to do a jump over here
in hopes they don't jump slightly
off and hit like a bad piece of geometry
and fall in the hole, but no harm is good. So easy
through. We should be able to grab this heart, and we should
be ready for an easy finish as long as
they can make it back to the top of the mountain.
And hit that! Nice, good head!
Little
rainbow. Royal Rainbow!
So, um...
The next two stages are quite short
kind of quick
stages where you're just instantly finishing them. So,
you're going to grab 50 objects and roll a snowman up but we don't
care about the size so we run straight into the middle and call it done.
We might use these to do some quick donations
Absolutely. I have $50 from Shuki big shoutouts to the Katamari speedrun community for being incredible
Thanks to Haru and Zora and shamana for getting me into this speed rendering there we love Katamari run
and everyone else for being welcoming and helpful for learning I never thought
it finds such a great group
as friends royal rainbow no little green emoji
thank you so much for your donation i also have seven dollars from tomo royal
rainbow how about we get donations where everyone says their favorite katamari cousin i've always
been a fan of the cat print cousin daisy thank you so much for your donation the cousins are
really really cute and i have 25 from madam toxtel had to donate during the katamari forever
run as it's one of my favorite games of all time. I've been a fan of
GDQ for over a decade and this is the second
time I've watched after having a newborn
I also became a nurse after watching SGDQ
benefiting Doctors Without Borders in 2022
GDQ has been a part of so many milestones
of my life, and I'm so grateful for the amazing
work you do. Royal Rainbow.
Thank you so much for your donations.
Really sweet.
Yeah, actually quickly
mentioning on the cousins so what would
in this game because it's a new game plus run
actually harry is going to have all the cousins
unlocked and they can actually pick whatever they want
and wear costumes and stuff
so harry is actually using niso pick whatever they want and wear costumes and stuff. So Haru's actually
using miso, which is like
basically their head is
a bowl of misosoup
They're pretty fan favorite
cousin. And Haru is also wearing like a rainbow
Like headphones kind of pretty much so you can see that on the top of their head
And so they fit wearing the like royal rainbow fit ready for the show. We're so
ready. Uh, we can
keep doing donations in this level
Absolutely! I have $25
from Minnie. Hello from
London UK donating for one of my favorite games
of all time, Katamari Forever
just after completing my first ever volunteer
shift with GDQ
I'm so proud to be involved in such an amazing event
with such wonderful people
shout out to everyone behind
the scenes making this happen to chat and of course to our runners now back to that Katamari
analyzing size analyzing composition looks like it is an an SGDQ Katamari with extra hype. Robo Rainbow away!
Thank you for your donation, we are at $344,477 raised for Doctors Without Borders.
Thank you all so much for donating your time,
your runs everything you've been doing.
We are also at 8177 out of 15 000 for the bonus levels
for quake 2 enhanced we are 54 through let's get that met
yeah i'm on for that me too i really want to see that but all right this next set is there's going
to be a set of three stages quickly which have kind of a unique mechanic these ones
were aiming they're called like the exact stages where the goal is to hit say some set
goal exactly so this is 20 centimeters now you can't see your size and so you
don't know how big you are
So what we're going to do is Haru's keeping track
of what they're grabbing, knowing around
what size they're up to. They're gonna aim
to grab this head over and grab these kind of cassettes
Grab the one there or just strawberries
Oil one now or just strawberries we got a rainbow royal rainbow batman at 25 says rainbow royale wait a minute hold on hold on huh i think the message must have gone.
It must be an error in communication.
That's right.
But yeah so there are two more of these stages
You actually have to be quite careful though
So you want to do it as quickly as possible obviously because it's a speed run
but if you mess it up a little and go too small or too big
you fail the stage. And the king is gonna berate you for...
You lose a couple minutes of the king berating you. It's pretty brutal.
So Haru's going to play it somewhere
between safe and fast,
pretty much as fast as you can
do while not being right at the
edge line where you think you're going to die
but you know it's pretty confidently around how big
you need to be. So here Haru is going to aim to get some of the stuff
and then grab their King's Heart and a bunch of stuff should fly towards them
And that should be a pretty safe end
oh yeah rainbow royal reamer Rainbow. Royal rainbow.
And so there's one more of these and it's the same thing, So if you want we could do a couple donations in this one too.
Absolutely I have $50 for my want we could do a couple donations in this one too absolutely i have 50 from sergal had to donate finding out there was a quake 2 run on the schedule one of the first games are numbered playing online
remaster is excellent as usual when Night Dive
is involved. Let's see that bonus
level, thank you so much!
Neo Zero donates $25
they say Royal Rainbow
Thank you so much and Anonymous
Donates $100, love GDQ every year. Keep it up! We will.
Thank you so much.
Nice alright well um yeah I mean I love all the Night Dive remastersasters i'm a big fan of their work but uh back to
the topic again i guess this is an original stage in this game there's one at the last
original stage this is the dream stage. Well, actually no, that's
the next one. Sorry I forgot we have this one as well.
Instantly done.
A little rainbow.
A little rainbow.
Yeah, so that's the last of our
exact ones and now we're heading to
The King's Dream
So it's kind of a
weird looking stage It's basically a bunch of stuff in little bowls and this is actually just the stuff inside of the king's dream
Um, the funny thing is though if you like look at what objects are in the king's dream. It's all like food
and toys
and nothing else.
Basically, he's just dreaming about food constantly.
That's all he dreams of.
So I don't know. Try and look at what objects are in there
think about that that's his dream and have a fun time but otherwise we're just
waiting to hit 300 items.
So what Haro's going to be doing is rolling around grabbing stuff and jumping up
and trying to grab these big objects.
The bigger objects aren't necessarily worth a lot more
but what they will do is they'll get your shape wider
and bigger so you can roll through
these faster. So the shape and size is really just to
help you roll other stuff quicker in this one
but other than that um I enjoy the stage.
We can do a couple donations.
Absolutely!
I have a $9.25 donation from Katamari Kako
So happy to see Chibi-Robo and Katamari back-to-back at GDQ.
These games were so influential to me in becoming a professional game developer!
It's amazing to see they keep inspiring folks, to this day.
To all the aspiring Game Devs and speed speed runners it's never been a better time
to make your dreams come true thank you so much for that donation yeah i'm a bit sad i didn't get
to properly watch the tv robo run because it was just before so i have to check them on that after
that's what i was excited for actually i really love chibi rober even though
yeah it's so cute and it's like I don't know this is a really unique and fun game This- it's kind of similar to this in that it's sort of um...
Kind of famous niche in a way it's a hit niche game and there's no royal rainbow
no No royal rainbow. No.
But here we're going to be coming into the last stage, so
this one is actually the biggest
stage in any Katamari game. We're gonna hit
like 10,000 kilometers
and then we're gonna go to space
and we're gonna be rolling... Actually is it 10,000
when you hit space? Somewhere around there
but we're gonna be heading into space and we're going
to be aiming to wake up the king so we've been working with
the robo-king for a lot of this and going and the
first set of levels were also the dreams of the king.
That's it, now I remember.
Um...and so now we're going to be kind of working through
and finishing up his last dream
and waking him up.
So,
and here we actually have a song from
he's like a really big singer in Japan
he's super famous
called Shigeru Matsuzaki-san
and so he's pretty famous for his like tan skin
and he's just a very famous singer in Japan
um, he does a couple other songs in the Katamari games.
So what we're going to use is, we can listen to this song and
We can run a couple donations before we reach the Earth but we'll have a moment
But we can use a couple because we'll and just listen to
the music enjoy it run some donations absolutely thank you then they donate seven dollars when
you donate every katamari van at gdq that's a loyal rainbow thank you for
your donation percus donation says five dollars giant
king in the sky i can roll twice as high look and see
katamari, a royal

Royal Rainbow. thank you so much for your
donations we are now at three hundred and forty four thousand six hundred
and sixty nine raised for doctors without borders
thank you all again so much and at 54 percent for that bonus twists level in Clake 2 Enhanced.
So what we're going to watch for is how it's gonna be...
How it's gonna continue to roll until they reach around a thousand kilometers,
And then they'll be rolling up the countries on the Earth.
Oh! Harrow is heading out so you can see he's zoning out,
Heading towards that,
So we can run probably one or two more donations and then what
I want everyone to watch for is you can watch for the moment how

It's kind of late over here but it's in the afternoon over there
in Minneapolis so gonna wish you all
a good afternoon or as they say in Sweden, god eftermiddag.
Right so we're just gonna hop into it but before that I'm going to introduce my co-commentator Polo
Hello this is Polo here
I have the world record for
arcade ninja on hardcore
in this game. You're in
for a treat here. It's gonna be pretty cool, this is
a fun game. Extremely 90s so get ready, buckle up
for some extreme 90's action
Yeah absolutely!
Alright so we have a big war for this game
the character selection
So I need to know which character
are we gonna be playing? Is it Mavrah or
Doyle? Absolutely, it is Mavra or Doyle?
Absolutely, it is Mavra.
Let's go some toasters indeed!
So yeah this game is kind of like
Blazing Chrome but its kinda like the old so yeah this game is kind of like blazing or uh it's my place in chrome of course but
it's kind of like the old counter games everything is a one-hot hit kill and uh
yeah that's most of what this game is about just getting through enemies and not dying to all the stuff that's coming at you.
Alright so time is gonna start when these green goes to black here after selecting the mission
So I'm going to try to count down as well
as I can in three two one
go all right let's start blazing but before we do any blaze, I'm going
to do a lot of rolling here because that's actually faster
and uh we do get some life frames there too for getting past some of these enemies that
normally can be only one touch and we're going to pick up the defense
part here for a little shield,
for a little bit of safety so that we don't get hit by these enemies.
But we'll actually not do that and I also picked up a weapon here
The particle beam
I'm just going to refer to it as laser
It's basically a laser here because there's no score shout
so we can charge up the shot like that and kill a lot of items at once uh you're going
to do something you're charging your laser oh that's a little bit of a
damage with the uh gonna pick up another bot here
which is a speedbot,
which actually makes me move faster
shocking I know
and it's also
giving me double jump like this
which is kinda handy
so the main source of...
The main way to deal damage is with
this weapon. Just spam it like
this basically. You can't do it too fast
because then you're gonna lose some
shots so you have to put in a steady rhythm.
All right, so next section here is gonna be quite hard.
Paul, can you handle this one?
I can, so this section here...
Normally, you're intended to take this nice mech that we're just rolling by here
but instead he's gonna skip it because it's faster to go fast
Mechs slow, but fast is fast
so he's just going to blast through everything here,
he's going to fly right through and
yeah absolutely not intended and way harder
than he just made that look, he made it look
incredibly easy, just walked right through there
and normally there's a helicopter
crashing in the background
but he's off screen
and he's far, far away
because he was just too fast.
My God!
Yeah, that went
pretty clean actually
so I think we're done. Alright, can I Yeah, that went perfectly actually. That was perfect!
Oh, always...
He is misbehaving but we got him.
He did not drop the action balls though.
Of course, not in the American setting of course.
We're gonna move into the actual boss here.
It is kinda simple, you just have to shoot his head a few times and then his core will open up.
So we go like that, and I'm gonna punch the core like that so we kinda get some over damage in there
Hopefully it'll let us have fewer cycles than if we just shoot it.
Oh wow, that actually hit me! That was weird.
Just gonna punch it like this...
Gonna deal with as much of that weapon,
credit cards as much as possible but we should be okay.
Easy peasy. So now where he lost that speed
bot there when you die. When you die, of course, you lose
your bots but thankfully we have some
backup strats to get that
bot back once again so
we're going to head to mission four next
and let's pick which missions
you wanna go to for the first four,
so that allows for a little bit of backup
in these situations.
Yeah, it's a good thing and...
Mission 4 has
a lot of pickups for you to pick up and uh
do gear back up here so we're gonna get the speed off that here
and then we're going to take it a bit safely because we only have the
like standard weapon here.
So we're gonna take it a bit slow here, just make sure
we get through here and still keep our speed bob
And I gotta pick up the grenade for a little more damage
It's better than using the standard gem,
so I'm going to pick up this Miniboss here
or Minibosses again and that will run pretty well
And we're gonna get a...
Gonna get an RP weapon back here.
Like so.
Oh god, okay this-
That was not the roll that I wanted to do but it's fine. Alright moving up to Commander Set here
We want to manipulate his movement a little bit by just walking a little forward here
They can stop there and move back
Oh he actually missed the platform above it.
That is a bit weird but we can just punch into death like that.
That's fine.
We got backups! There's fine. We got backups!
There's backups on backups
thankfully in this run.
Gonna punch him there after just to
show that we're not happy with
him. Alright, so just gonna
like Limp Bizkit say
Keep rolling, rolling, rolling
And pick up the beaterspot to just go through these enemies.
And I'm going to fight another little mid-boss here,
just gonna use my grenade here for nice splash damage
and just keep rolling a little bit at a time.
And there we go!
I'm gonna get a new refill here to get our
P-weapon back...
Oh, got up there.
And we're gonna get our... Oh, get out of here.
Let's just be locked back here, and
I'm gonna move up, use that double jump.
And we're going to fight the same boss again but vertically! Oh my...
This is going to be hard.
Very hard.
Yeah, that's it.
And now we're moving to a lot of novice-golder
You can kind of speed this up by killing
the enemies that come after you. They're
based on waves, so if you kill one wave, the next one spawns a little bit
faster and so on. And I want to keep the reticle in
in the middle here because all those enemies like kind of spawn from the
middle and they get hit by these bullets like most
of them so it comes a little bit faster like that
uh but other than that is not really much to talk about here so if you have
any donations to read then this is a perfect time
i absolutely do i have 50 from anonymous i'm so glad to be able to watch another wonderful gdq
thank you to all the volunteers runners tech crew and everyone involved to make this happen.
This is going to be a vacation well spent.
Thank you so much for that donation!
I also have $250 from Anonymous.
They do not leave a comment but An anonymous thank you so much for that donation.
Yeah, thank you.
You can keep calling this
pixel era bomb donates $25.
Thank you,
Judy Q team for another incredible show.
I'm looking forward to two so many runs this week.
Hi,
thank you very much.
Matthew has the $10 donating $10 to help Doctors Without Borders because universal medical care is something that should always be supported to reach new PD's every year. Thank you for the donation, I agree GDQ is doing an amazing job for raising the money for Dr. Scott Borders.
We are at 345,626.
Let's go ahead and get that number up
for more donations,
more GDQ,
more exciting things.'s go let's go
let's go
i can do one more, I think.
Ooh, OK.
Well then, I'm just going to do a little quick reminder.
We are at 8,459 out of 15,000.
That is 56% for our Quake 2 enhanced bonus twist level.
When you donate make sure to go ahead
and select an incentive if you would like
to see that to get that met. Again,
more runs equals more GDQ so
let's have more GDQ.
Yeah, absolutely. More GDQ! Yeah, absolutely.
More GDQ!
Alright so we're moving into the end boss of this mission
This is kind of straightforward you have to shoot both arms up and then you shoot the middle part so we're gonna start with a left one first here
choose out some rockets but yeah it's easily done with all the upgrades we have
and uh how do we do the middle part here this is a flashlight away for
the volunteer and let's see if we get they got the destructive disc krillin is happy today
just seeing that so yeah i like to call that robot
running because sometimes before he dies
he does a destructive disc so and you yeah if you know you know anyway
gotta move into mission uh no it's mission three now. Wow! We're doing the backup
round here so we gotta do...
So many missions!
Yeah, SO MANY MISSIONS!
This is a pretty scary one overall.
This part is kind of straightforward but later on there's going to be some really annoying enemies to deal with.
But for now we just have to deal with.
But for now we just have to deal
with the sand worms here,
so we have to pick this up before
we can move on to next stage
or the next arena min.
We could actually jump over
this turret,
we don't have to deal with that one, but we have to shoot this one.
We can move on
just be me through here
and some more worms
about the turn up hope Another turret.
And now we get two ones and one's here, so I'm gonna pick up this defense bot here for just a little bit of safety. We can't pick that speed bot out later on after uh
asking taking care of these two there you go good thing i did
no shortage of worms.
That's too much!
They will eat your heart out.
Anyway, here is another elevator section
more like it so...
Just taking care of some enemies here.
You can't make this go faster by killing the mobs, you know? Probably.
So we gotta pick up this whip here.
It's actually gonna come in handy later on, but for now we're going to deal with this
spider.
I hope you guys like timers!
Alright yeah, we have so many farmers now.
Including the uh oh my- ooh wow okay that was scary.
That's right before they died. Yeah. That's scary. Oh, that was right before they died.
That's fine.
We're on our way?
Now we are moving to the scariest section of all this because this has the most like dangerous enemy
this one they are very fast they keep coming at you
hopefully and there's so many of them and now that i don't have a speed bot
it's going to be hard to
to actually run away from them so you might see me die here a few times but we'll soon get into
this neck here as a backup so we can actually defend ourselves
a little bit better.
And now I'm just gonna dash through here, take some hits.
This mech can take some hits,
should be fine.
Gonna drill our way through here, make sure we get
through all the way, eject. We have some I-frames
after that so we're just gonna keep rolling through here
and enter the boss
arena.
So yeah this boss has a couple of eyes. This is just gross really.
Two eyes and then there's still a lot of worms coming out here up the corners.
A lot of worms?
So we're gonna take care of the ice
and also the worms at the same time,
so they are also gone,
then we just have to take care of these worms
We have to deal with them like three times each
before they die like that
but then they start shooting out
of the empty hole there so we have to watch out for that.
As we pick up the other ones...
And almost done here, should be
the last one there. There you go. All right so I'm gonna use the whip here and this
is might sound a little weird but i'm gonna take it out here and then kind of wiggle around
here in this boss's face because that's the only part of the path we can actually hit with it.
But it works out, since he moves so much
It's hard to hit hit with any other weapon.
It works out that way.
Anyway, that's Mission 3 done and we're gonna move on to Mission 2! So this might start out a little bit slower, because now I don't have the best weapon anymore.
And it's gonna be a while before I get it. But overall this is
kind of an auto-scroller as well
but this is more like the
old bike auto-scrollers that you see in
the Contour games
So its kinda done the same deal here as the
previous auto scholar like you want to kill the enemies as fast as possible to make this next spawn
uh just pick up a little bit but there's not much else to say about this really, so if you have anything to say like any donations or messages then this is a good time too.
Absolutely! I have Nick Lowe with $10 always fun to see a fellow suite at gdq
donation goes too quick to bonus level more gdq is always better thank you for that donation and
100 from leroy jenko there is no comment but thank you so
much for your donation and for reminding me of the very full moment thank you Yeah, throw more messages and feel free.
This goes on for a little bit longer.
Just a couple minutes. A long one? Yeah you got it oh my god gdqap 2024 five dollars as promised here's my second donation
of the marathon for a grand total of 27 towards dwvB. Can I get a $5
head train for Quake 2? GDQ
Hype! Thank you so much,
I appreciate that. PikachuPhD
donates $50, no comment
but thank you for your donation and congratulations on
your phd if we could show i'm sure that was incredibly tough uh we are now at 56 of the
bonus twists level for quake to enhance 85 1986 out of of 15 000 we can do it
we've got this go ahead and get those donations in select the incentive if
you would like to see that happen we are also at 346
86 dollars total raised.
And this is only Tuesday.
Thank you so much everyone for watching and donating.
This is incredibly exciting.
Let's get those donations in for Doctors Without Borders.
Speaking of a donation train, well we're in luck because
we have a train coming up right now!
Oh my gosh! What a coincidence! Can we get a donation train
for the train? Chugga chugga chugga choo-choo
how many it's over right it's three chugas right and two chew chews crap
that's five dollars four chagas chugga chugga chugga
four chuggas. Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-choo-choos. Four chuggas, two choo-choos.
I've seen this be like
an avid debate just
people ab...debating how many
chuggas and chews there were. I think this has come up at
GDQ before as well so you know feel free if
you want to hop on the train train to chug your heart out or chew
your heart out whichever you want to do
yeah sounds good.
They get to the nation's end during this level here.
The mission train?
The mission train, yeah.
And this is mostly just some small arenas you have to take care of if you're going to move on.
But now we are moving into the first regal boss here, which I think it's referred to as the Eyeball Wall Ball Monster by Dr. Robo, another runner in this game.
I like it called Eye Guy!
Eye guy yeah, short and and simple I like it.
Yeah he just do charge shots there when he's vulnerable
And uh... just keep spamming with the laser with a P-gun right there and he's done in no time flat.
Alright moving on!
So we're gonna give this first enemy little slap so i can get under it thank you
and uh gonna keep moving on here
pick up the demon spot here because it's actually kind of in handy later when you fight the boss which is coming a
little bit later but for now we make sure to take care of all these enemies gonna do charge up
here as spawn and just immediately keep right, try not to get hit here...
Okay one hit is okay. I want to keep this one shield for the last boss
This is not a boss though. Kind of a bit of enemy
we have to take care first here, no big deal
Okay so now I'm going for the boss here
this actually a pretty hard one
you do casually, but
with the shield that we have here and the weapon
that we are currently wielding
this is going to be super easy
and quick. So I'm just gonna roll
there, and then I'm gonna keep shooting. Take the hit.
I have high frames so... yeah! That's a boss.
Easy! Beautiful!
Did I say that the laser is busted because it is
it definitely is but the kind of bastard that we like it makes us go fast and we like this oh yeah
you don't know it oh yeah get all of it
alright so that's the first four missions done
so now we're gonna move on to mission five
it's just unlocked
and it's our favorite thing for donation readers,
another house scroller.
Oh my goodness,
another one?
Huge.
Yeah, this is kind of the same thing but it's got some obstacles too
like uh mega man h and the purple tunnel in the battle tunnels if you remember that one. It's not quite as hard but kind
of similar. But yeah, other than that there is not much else going on so if you have any
more messages then go for it.
Absolutely! I'm seeing so many different opinions on the chuggas and chews in chat.
One that I really hate is 8 chugga's 1...8 chuggas 2 chews? That's entirely too many chuggas. One, eight chuggas, two chews? That's entirely too many
chuggas.
I have a $25 donation from Gibson
and I'm already upset.
It does say chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga
chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga,
chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga,
choo-choo, choo-choo-choo.
A Thank you but B How dare
you? $5 from Course 6 that
says choo-choo! $5 from The Last Ditch,
train-train into the station.
Thank you. I'm very
excited that my brain decided
that train-train was where it wanted to go today.
I have $10 from air a yeah yeah angel jumping on the hype
train much love to all the staff and volunteers working the event less than three thank you so
much chiro donates $75. Sorry
that I missed the first few days, but here's a
ketchup donation. Well thank you so much
You don't need to do a mustard donation as well
Um, I'm so sorry
Anonymous donates $6 for chuggas to choose enjoyer here, smiley face.
You are correct.
Not that there's a right and a wrong answer here, but there is a right answer
and it is four chuggas to choose.
We are now at $8649 out of
$15000 for the bonus twist level
Quake 2 Enhanced, which brings me to my
next donation from Jacob Holding.
$50, donating $50 to the quake two incentive in hopes of hitting it thank
you very much for your donation we are at 57 now amazing beautiful the piiper donates $25 with
this cake, it's three
chuggas and two chews
Chugga-chugga-chugga-choo-choo hype train
You know what?
When you add the hype train in
I'm not against the three chuggas to choose.
Otherwise typically very against it.
$25 from one dollar for every chugga
Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga
thank you so much for your donation again how dare
you 25 chuggers is a lot of chagas and no choo-choos which is upsetting
i didn't think there would be so much controversy around the
shotguns but uh Here we are.
Alright, so just a mic to get
this place quicker
and it's kind of
weird thing but
this laser doesn't hit you if you're standing right in the middle here.
So that makes our job a lot easier.
Very clean!
And we gotta make our way through the room of doom here,
as we like to call it.
Cause this is a mess.
Oh,
okay.
We got it.
Okay.
Almost jinxed myself right at the end there,
but that was,
Ooh. Okay. that's fine we're gonna get our ripple back
here and uh whatever we'll get crushed we We give the stage one there too.
Everybody gets one.
We're gonna move into a boss fight here, so we have four lamps in the ceiling
and I'm going to use our grenade here
to actually shoot through it once and then we'll take
care of them.
Oh get that!
Okay.
And I'm gonna fight the mud land on this side here, which is obviously upset to be
I love that.
The small ones
And now we're going to move into
the last part of this fight here, we're gonna
fight a little worm that's going to come at us
so long as you're fighting a little worm here that's gonna come at us so i'm going to charge up some laser here
and just gonna blast it while he is jumping over and
do the same thing here as its coming out And that's a quick two cycle right there!
That was very good.
Thank you!
Yeah, that's mission five done.
We're gonna move right into mission six
you're making this hard game look very easy
yeah it's almost like i'm just blazing through this game.
Sounds like you're blazing some chrome?
Oh my gosh, you're blazing!
You said the thing!
Said the thing?!
Said the THING!
Scorching steel? No, that's not right.
Yeah we're gonna jump into
a little bit of a minibot rush here
Of course Armadillo is not cooperating, that's his name by the way
And it's gonna be followed up by Gorilla here who's a little bit easier to deal with
Doesn't really RNG dependent just kinda jump me and then I'm gonna keep shooting him
and... He's done. Now we're gonna move in
through the last arena here. I kinda have to refill my shield
gear first before that because I need it to be able to take a couple hits here
to save some time.
Oh!
Vuku's back!
It's commander set!
Oh!
He flies now?
He flies now. Anyway...
Not for long!
So we're just gonna keep shooting here, he's about to be down there
But then he's going to jump into this big, big robot in the background here.
And he's gonna keep shooting his head here and yeah, he's done there
I'm gonna fight some cubes instead.
And as soon as we take out one of these cubes,
we are going to be sent into the...
I don't know what they call this.
VR land? Kind of reminds me
of like Lawnmower Man, like the old movie from the 90s
But yeah, this is basically just a knowledge corner.
And at the end of this we're going to be fighting like kind of a doppelganger of ourselves
and then they are gonna do the same thing again after that with another doppelganger
Maybe you should do our little bit of shoutouts now if you want to start out.
Oh jeez yeah I guess...
Holy that's a good question!
Shoutout to the Blazing Chrome community.
We've got a pretty decent community and you know anyone that wants to join along and come try out this crazy very difficult speed run game
we have a Discord and you can find that on the speedrun game. We have a Discord, and you can
find that on the Speed Run website
so you can just go to the leaderboard
You can find it there
And shout out to my community
what's called The Syndicate Shoutout to my community, the uh... Well it's called The Syndicate.
Shoutout to my boys in The Syndicate and that's about
it really. That's the whole thing
that's all I've got
Actually this game is part of the uh gdq humble bundle that's uh
just like live right now so if you want to get this game and some other games for
like then head on over to
and find the bundle. And you can get it on Steam for
very cheap there. But yeah anyway
I've been here though, I usually...
Main and speedrun like capped most of the time
but I pick up two games from time to time too
because this is such a cool game
you can't really knock off like a cool running on a game like this one so...
And I even want to mention that just because you mentioned
the Steam version, I'm sorry to jump in there
but I just wanted to say that
even for the steam version of this game
For the speedrun community, the developers made a special version
Just for us so that you can test out
You can practice specific stages and all that
And basically play with cheats
and modifiers
and stuff like that.
It's very cool.
Definitely check it out.
All right,
and that is fine.
GG.
Good job. Thank you. Great fun, buddy. Hi. GG, good job!
Thank you, thank you.
Yeah, good run, I'm really happy about that.
Had some mishaps early in the run

nicely, I think.
But yeah, other than that We cleaned it up pretty nicely, I think.
Other than that you can find me on twitch.tv slash QFAR
if you want to follow me and see me run games like this or a cat bed or some other games too yeah other than that i hope you have a good gdq and yeah keep doing it's for a very good cause.

I'll let you take it away.
All right thank you so much for that run!

hot topic.

SassyRis donates
$50 and says many train tickets
for more GDQ. ChugaChuga chugachichi which is a new take on it all thank
you very much we are at 9134 out of 15 000 for our bonus levels we are getting so close, 60% in.
Thank you so much.
Gavin donates $5.
In my head, chugga sounds like a train isn't going full speed,
which means it's going slow and we are speed runners.
We go fast. So choo-choo, no chugga." That sounds like a order at a restaurant I would take one choo-choo no chugga please thank you so
much. Michael A from omg khan donates 50 i'm a fan of both the chuggas and
the choo-choo's also hi nicole hi michael thank you so much hello sasha the Goblin donates $25.
No one left behind loving
the runners this year. Keep up the good work. Chugga
chugga choo choo. I've seen a lot of the two
chuggas, two chews but you know what? Chugga
chuggas, two chews aside we are so ready for our next round which is Astral Chain Any% I almost said astral train
I'm, so sorry astral chain any percent with rachu take it away
all right
hello everyone oh hello uh it's awesome to be here um right too if you're ready
to go we can we can start the run and then we can get introductions going during the intro yeah
and my name is
okay Countdown. Okay?
Okay.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Go!
Alright let's go! So hello everyone
I'm Shemcat and I've been an Astro Chain Runner for a few years now and I am very excited to be able
show off this category today. Hi uh I'm very excited to be able to show off this category today.
Hi, uh, I'm Cap. I am also an actual Shane
Potter... a big fan of the hack and slash genre
And I'm really excited to show this.
What we're looking at
right now
looks a little bit strange
so it probably requires
some explanation. Shem, do you want to explain to the viewers exactly what we're looking at here?
So this is a pretty new and weird category for Aftershade. It uses a pre-made file to store some data into the PC,
The in game PC and then from that we can load another file
And use that data to skip a bunch of the game
and save a lot, a lot of time.
So this is-this is the start of this FMA5
because Racky saved there
The floor was just invisible
and he could make his way over to
this quest, Drones in the Family
And what
he just did there is called a Super Climb
where you abuse chain jumping
towards your legion and then summoning the legion in order to basically
just get a lot of height very quickly. So, the reason we do this is that we want to go
over an invisible barrier that's stopping us from getting into hal's hideouts
and the reason we want to do that is because we want to sit into the pc
uh in order so we're actually gonna oh yeah and so we're actually gonna sit here So we're actually going to sit here
so there's a time limit
for this quest that we started
and what's going to happen is eventually
the quest is just going to automatically fail.
The problem is when it fails,
it normally wants to take us to our results screen
however
we currently are not in a position
to really look at the result screen, right? We're like we basically opened this PC
menu which we weren't supposed to be able
to open. You know, we got back to this PC by
doing an infinite height
glitch to access this area
accidentally. So because of this there's not going to be a disconnect between
uh it wants to give us the result screen but we're in this kind of file loading scenario
and the result is gonna be very weird looking. We're gonna see it here
So yeah, so we're back
but if you look
we actually still have the PC
menu open on screen
while we are in uh...while we are in the overworld, right?
So this is obviously a very glitched state already.
Yeah and as you can see
the inputs that Ratty's doing are controlling both
the protagonist and controlling the menu.
So that is great and all, but what we want to do from here
is basically navigate the pause menu whilst at
the same time using the PC menu, and from there we can get to a specific point in
the PC menu so this file select section, and also once we're paused return to title.
So what this pre-ground setup does is it allows us to
yeah now return to the title the pc menu stuff is still on screen and once we load the new file that will be able to create our
uh like acceptable file for their own crash no crush no crash also beginning you crash here and we really don't want it to crash here
so
yeah as you can imagine from a trick
like this it's
no
it happens it's 14. No!
It happens.
That's okay.
We've we've
this is a possibility that we knew was gonna happen right so
obviously this makes the game very cranky uh which is i know a classic a classic speedrunner
thing to say but yeah basically doing all of this stuff makes the game very
unhappy and so
it makes it happy in a very mean way where
it actually can crash
the game which is of course obnoxious.
Yeah. the game which is of course obnoxious
yeah i believe ratty knows what to do here though in order to lose as little time as possible from the crash
yeah Yeah.
And so, he's just creating the character now!
So this is at the start
of Auron's. It's actually a little bit of specifics in terms of what you want
The name and like hair color and hairstyle doesn't really matter
But you actually want to pick the male protagonist rather than the female one
doctor yeah we've just received reports so
so now of course well we'll see if we can read there's another way i think of
re-entering the uh the glitch but I think what we're going to do
is basically start the new file and get
back there. Because I believe
that backup... We will see what we can do.
But the crashes obviously
complicates things a little bit there.
But as you see the setup doesn't take that long to re-enter the glitch state.
But basically this setup...
Everything that was... if you imagine there wasn't a crash
This is how you would start right here
Starting file 1. This is how you would start
The non glitched category as well
Just the beginning of the game
Yeah Honestly this is a little bit of a blessing because usually when we do this run
The menu stuff from the PC is still covering our screen
And you basically have to play it like
half-blind so you can't
see various things. So it's
honestly a little nice from the eyes!
A little nice
from the eyes for sure.
You know Platinum Games who makes the game loves doing
some nice little cinematic
openers and so this is our little cinematic opener
there's obviously some small
optimization to get here, but right now we're
doing a car chase sequence
We're still gonna be
playing in the glitch category. We still
do need to play file 1.
I guess we're going to call it vanilla?
Like you would play... Obviously
it would be a little bit different if you were in the glitch state but
you still basically want to play file 1
like you would play it
in the
non-glish version.
But I guess what's going to happen
is that obviously there's
going to be a major sequence break
that will obviously make those things
we have to do elsewhere pretty bizarre.
So right now, we're just kind of working
on getting through this bike section.
And of course there's actually two bike sections,
but we're going to be skipping the other bike sections
because it is the only bike section we are getting here.
Yeah and I guess we've talked a little bit about
the gameplay, it could be worth introducing After Train as a game.
So it takes place in 2078 and we are part of the police force Neuron whose primary objective is dealing with these guys aberrations who are i
believe the humans who have been corrupted by the redshift and now yeah not. Not very pleasant!
Yeah exactly and... oh sorry you can go on
So this corruption is not a good thing. So we're just trying to prevent it. It's being spread by some guys from later called Chimeras who are coming from the actual plane but I guess that can be saved for a little bit later.
Yeah, in general, Astral Chain
is very interesting, like just even
broadly as a game, I think it's very interesting
because I think Astral Chain
um, I mean it's very interesting because I think Astral Chain, um...
I mean, it-it's kind of like a hack and slash action game
but I think for being a hack and slash action game
I mean, it's really an experimental work from platinum games where there's
there's a lot of like obviously hack and slash combat we're gonna see a little
bit of that coming up here of course but there's also a good amount
of like just even even in a casual
perspective, there's
a good amount of problem solving
a good amount of movement
a good amount of puzzles
and even how you do combat is very
different from like another
hack-and-slash or action games.
You know, if you want to play
an action game and you don't
want something that takes say say, something from the
Souls-like formula. Not that there's anything
wrong with the Souls-like formula but if you want
kind of a hack and slash action
game that really has a lot of different
weird elements to it.
I think this game is very experimental, which obviously can go either way
but i think it does offer really a unique experience
and I think speedrunning this game both glitched and not glitched is really
interesting because of how different a game it is and how many elements there are in the
run.
Yeah, I think it's a really nice glitch of combat and movement.
And speaking of, here is our first little bit of combat!
So in F1 we don't have too much options in terms of what we can do
We have the baton and gun basically
The Baton comes in sets of 4 What you want to do, so the Baton comes in sets of four.
What we want to do is use the first three attacks, swap to the gun and then go back
to the Baton since the forehand has a lot of lag at the end of it
So by doing that we can just stop the endlag and deal with
these guys pretty smoothly.
Yeah one good-
Another thing in this fight specifically is that these other police officers alongside us, they'll be shooting at the aberrations as well.
Now they can't kill them but they can bring them to 1 HP and so what Reitman's doing is looking at where the other guys are shooting,
and then putting his targeting there.
Since if they're just shooting at one HP enemy that's not very fast!
Right yeah, that's something that is very interesting about Section 2
There's an optimal way of handling enemies based on what the NPCs are attacking, so that makes it
interesting.
Real quick as an update, we are at
9,649 out of 15,000
for our Quake to enhance at
sixty four percent so let's get those donations in for more duty-killing
oh yeah yeah I got your donations in chat one for sure chat room. But whatever they are, we can't see them!
Can't see them?
For sure.
Are you sure it's not just an apparition that's why the male character is faster because
uh basically whoever we choose our sibling will be the opposite gender
and the female akira just speaks faster so yeah she's nicer to have around i don't know how we're gonna make it
yeah someone counterintuitive because the female voice actor
speaks faster the male character is faster
because the character that you are you are of course a voiceless
nameless
protagonist. So
basically whoever is the faster VA
you don't want to be.
Which is kind of funny.
For sure. So yeah, that was just a Chimera we beat up and these are the legions so these
are man-made weapons intended to fight the chimeras and aberrations.
And yeah, this is like the main crux of Astro Chain combat.
So what we want to do...
Whilst we're controlling our protagonist,
We're also controlling the Legion What we want to do, whilst we're controlling our protagonist,
We are also controlling the Legion.
Having to handle both characters simultaneously
And syncing them up and stuff like that
But this first little section doesn't have too much complex Legion stuff, since these
Chimeras will keep on spawning down until the text boxes are finished.
And so what we want to do, again like with the police officers
We want to bring them down to 1 HP by using Acura
Just keep on dodging and Acura will keep on shooting
And then once the Taktimaxes are over,
he'll finish them both off pretty quickly
and it will start the next action.
Yeah for sure.
A big thing here is uh like in this game first combat there's
gonna be a lot of trying to chain together uh how when
your legion attacks as well you're going to see that
in the next section as well, so really making sure
that the position of both yourself
and your legion are in the right place is
a very large part of optimal combat
in Astral Chain
So he killed us right at the last moment of the dialogue and we've already gotten into the Lyatt's fight which is the next fight.
So you can kind of notice a general gameplay loop here where you can wrap your legion around the enemy
to freeze it and then you want to get behind it because there's something called
backside damage or blindside damage or basically if you are behind the enemy, you can see that the numbers
are yellow and the damage is higher.
So the damage is slightly higher as well.
The Legion will automatically
attack the enemy if it's close enough so so you kind of constantly want to be repositioning
the Legion behind the enemy
To get that damage done. Yeah in this file as well
In this file as well, the leg out-damages our character so we want to be using
as much of the legion damage as possible and yes in a similar way to what we were doing with
the baton gun combo. We want to slightly move the legion once it's
done finishing its little attack sequence just so it's in its end lag for as little time as possible.
Once Lyus is defeated, we kind of enter
this I guess falling
car scene and then once
that's done, this actually is wrapping
up file one. Also you want to mention that lias fight can get very
weird but right too is just an absolute master of his craft and that was an incredibly fast
lia's face yeah yeah ended and i was like oh damn
i still got stuff to talk about no yeah i know i really thought that bite
would be longer but right you um raiju's just nuts so
we've now ended file one. So I guess the next question is if we can get back to the glitches.
Yeah, there it is.
Cool.
Well, would you like time for a quick donation?
Of course.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
I have $18.10 from Teddy.
They say a bit early or late for a Pokédex donation, but since Rachi and I share our favorite Pokémon, I thought now was
the perfect time to shout out number 181, Amprose.
Thank you for that donation! I also have
MeekSweep with 10 donating for the
Amprose on the runner's head, and all
of the Amprose cheering in the background. Good luck!
Also, we are at 9,744
out of 15,000 for the bonus twist
level of 64%.
And also, we have an incentive from Mass Effect 2
no one left behind. We are at $6,194 out of $30,000.
20% on that.
So when you donate go ahead and select an incentive so that not only is your donation going to charity but also towards more gp
oh yeah this is awesome yep oh sorry um Oh, sorry.
I think the reason he loads in this invisible
is just a specific way of saving with this glitch active I'm not 100% sure on how it works,
but yeah! It's a pretty flashy way to start the run and i believe we're just gonna be trying
this strat out again and hoping that the game corporates a bit more this time.
The out of bounds file start is kind of an awesome like marathon meta as well because you can also
without going out of balance just like run and start this
mission.
The runs in the family mission.
But by starting out of bounds he's able to
clip through the walls and start the mission
earlier so that he can
basically enter the glitch state
earlier, so that this
run in the marathon will be even
faster. And now we're back
and uh we are once again gonna try to enter
the glitch state here yeah the marathon timing in the uh full
game like leaderboard timing are slightly different but
since it's a pretty important part
of the category, yeah. We figured it was
important to add the pre-run
setup to the marathon time.
Right.
It's a little bit different from traditional speedrun categories, because we obviously are allowing you to take a partially completed file and do a very specific game state change before starting
a new file, but I mean it's such a cool glitch and it saves
such amount of time. And obviously there is the Glitched and Non-Glitched category so
we...I think it makes sense to include that.
You know, it just makes the category really cool
It makes the game really cool
and really, you know, this is a very
different run and a very different vibe from the no glitches
So it's very cool in that respect.
Yeah yeah, Ashrachain has some great other categories if you're
enjoy their own and I would definitely recommend checking out some of the other categories
I believe Ratio has got been put in all of them, so...
Yeah, he's definitely
going to show off his skills and everything
else!
Yeah, I was gonna save this
for later, but Ratio is
incredibly
goaded.
I've been in the Astral Chain
seen broadly since it dropped
and I've seen
a lot of different world records but he's
actually insane.
He is actually so good at the game
It's sort of impossible to
overstate how much he has
completely revolutionized
how we see this game
in all respects. And what's really
awesome is
he's also the nicest person on the planet
uh he has an ampharos on his head you should donate specifically to make
the amphrosonus head happy um but you know when i've tried
to learn a different trick in the past
he's come into my chat and offered to help me
He is always super nice and helpful
And really wants the best for this community,
however small.
And he really takes everything seriously and really gives it his all.
It's really awesome that he's the one
to really showcase
the work here.
Now of course we have a brush wow no crush
no crash okay no crash yeah yes yes all right
we're gonna we gotta hope, okay? Fridge.
Yeah the thing on the screen now
it takes up a lot of the screen
thankfully we didn't have to see the whole far one
with that covering it up. Yeah this is part of the PC menu where you select
other earlier game files to go to, and this is the very last part of the penultimate
chapter, and we basically just store
it. Store the
PC... We store the
PC storage value
from the other game file, and then yeah.
When we go into this file it's the default
And we can just head straight to the end of File 10!
So from the start of File 2 to the end of File 10
It is insane.
Like an almost two hour time save right here!
Yeah...
What you see right there, he bought some spicy cobras.
So this game has drinks that you can buy which when drunk will improve your stats for a little
bit. There's a wide variety of stat increases, but the only one
we really care about for the speedrun is just... uh, Attack Up! We care about some
others, but it's mainly attack up.
And yeah that one I believe increases attack by... 100%?
Uh 50% for Spicy Cobra. Fishy Water is 100%.
Which- which is also purchased later later for obvious reasons.
You can imagine if it's the speed of a fight you want,
50% increase in damage is pretty massive.
Yeah.
The thing is we basically skipped... the next part that we skip into
is also another Platinum
Games cinematic classic.
Raid 2 has now gone out of bounds and is
now taking a camera because he likes to show off but
we have a lot of them to chill uh also for this reason if there are any
donations um or anything to shout out? Now would be a good time.
Nicole, if there are any...
Absolutely there are.
Anonymous donates $300.
No comment, but thank you so much for that donation.
We are now at 9,824
out of 15,000 for our bonus
twists level for Quake 2 Enhanced
we are at 65% through
that and we are now at
6,344 out of 30,000 for No One Left Behind Mass Effect 2.
We shot up a nut! 21% net on that.
Thank you so much. Keep those donations in
and keep selecting an incentive
so that we can get more content.
Anonymous also donates $200 with no comment among us.
Thank you very much.
I have five dollars from Nint back to our train debate.
Chuga, chuga, chuga, chuga, chuck, chuck, which are none of the words but i
suggested but great nonetheless
and another anonymous one hundred-dollar donation no comment
anonymous thank you so much for that donation we're getting so close to ten
thousand out of fifteen thousand for the bonus twist level
and we have until the last level of the next run to meet that
so go ahead and get those donations in so we can see more quick enhance the more jdq
all right this streamer is the best
fighter
he's so he's he's great also um
he also did a really chad move and and donated a whole bunch of subs to the AGDQ stream.
If your favorite runner isn't donating subs mid-run, then I don't know what to tell you.
This guy's great. Literally no one does it like him uh
i don't know he's not only really like obviously like the most talented
asshole chain runner on the planet but his sense of humor is honestly immaculate.
You know?
It honestly makes him so fun to watch
especially in
full game runs when there's a lot to meme on
but even here you know there's obviously a lot of really memable moments and he's
uh he just loves that stuff i mean you can't beat this guy yeah this guy is just too good
it got a lot of using the super climb to just jump on top of the invisible
ceiling and just watching the uh acura legion future just trying to run at you
oh so yeah we've still got the story.
Yosef our boss is evil, Akira is now being cloned...
We've got lots of legions there,
we don't just have the same one from B1
we've now got five of them. Uh yeah and we're about to fuse
with our Legion! Ah yes, yeah, Legion fusion! Um which... so he drank the spicy cobra before entering this state so the drink is gonna
come across and actually if you do enough damage in this section
uh you actually skip an entire cutscene.
So we basically used a whole bunch of things
to damage ourselves and hopefully
be over-damaged the fusion version
of Akira to completely skip a cinematic cutscene here
which is nice uh but we're currently playing a frisbee fight which is fine
but we don't really like that we kind of want him to get back on the ground
all right yeah there he goes. Excellent! Nice job right there.
Yeah just like that, that's a pipe down very quickly and we are now technically able to just straight up finish the game from here.
We're now in file 11, but yeah that's gonna be quite tricky with what we've currently got
We are not very strong given we've hardly done anything.
So we need to go back a little so we can get a bit stronger.
It would be in theory super fast if you could just
go to this and then just go like fight the last boss
but unfortunately kind of been like an rpg thing there are some upgrades that
you would probably naturally have by now that that by not having them you
do just inevitably run into problems
unfortunately.
Yeah the first one of these is upgrading our
weapon, The X-Baton. We want to get
a charge attack and I believe we also get some more powerful drinks
here whilst we're in House Hider. How's our character who... yeah, we just kind of ignored
for the sake of this round. But Mega Bite Milk...
Fishy Water!
And yeah, Fishy Water is like the strongest drink in the entire game
and Mega Bite Milk is good
because it gives you armor so you just
are able to tank a bunch of hits and not like flinch.
But we're going all the way back to file 05, so there's a little thing you can do here
so this is going into the part of file 0 5 where you fight the Beast Legion and acquire that.
But instead of actually fighting it, what Rakkyu's gonna do is just boost with the Arm
Legion, then use the gun to like boost himself a little bit further, and from there he can just climb up outside of
the arena. And then use the charge attack to... yeah, use our superclimb again which is done
by chain jumping and dismissing that Legion
to just gradually build up height.
And from there he can just run over here
and the Beast Legion
like unloads
and the game's like oh! He's beaten the Beast Legion. We'll give you
the gene codes which is like the currency we use to upgrade our legions
And you can just keep on shifting back and forth
and you just keep on getting the gene codes it's a really fast way of
getting a bunch of points
this is so funny
I absolutely love this
I also want to say, to do the infinite climb
a requirement is that there has to be an
initial height difference between your
legion and the
player. So, that's why he's doing
like the different acrobatic movement
is he's trying to get some vertical height difference
between the Legion
and the character, because you want
the chain jump to be an upward
chain jump.
So we just beat the Beast Legion like seven times
for fun and
there's
obviously some different upgrades that are really
important. One upgrade is Power Charge
Power Charge
is a temporary 25%
attack boost that
stacks, so obviously
that attack boost is going to be needed.
And there's a couple other ones that are really important
um a big one is there is an axe technique
um that is also very important where uh
where you can swing and he's basically learning a whole
bunch of different like increased attack um things as
well and so there's a whole bunch of different stuff there but um it's a really good way of
farming chinco yeah normally and also it's worth mentioning that that V-Skip is like really
REALLY hard! It didn't look good because we actually did it so well but yeah that
is not an easy trick by any means. Can I cut in with some Ampharos appreciation?
Yes, please.
I have $10 from Muck donating for Ampharos appreciation
with a huge shout out to this game's banger soundtrack.
Thank you for your donation also we are only five thousand one hundred
and thirty dollars away from meeting our quake two enhanced extra level so go
ahead and get those donations in select that we're close, 35% away.
You can do this.
Also $10 from anonymous as instructed donating
to make the Ampharos happy.
Thank you so much.
Now the Ampharos is happy and it's because of you.
I appreciate it. Look at that Ampharos is happy and it's because of you. I appreciate it.
Look at that Ampharos on his head!
It's so happy, I've never seen him happier
You can tell that um
donations are making the Ampharos feel like it's making a difference and
it is really truly so yeah so now we've gotten some upgrades, We can actually go to the ARI.
Which is um...
I guess gonna be like the setting
The setting for the final encounter with
All of these uh With all of these bad legions
and Yosef, our
former now evil boss.
So what wants to happen
here? I don't know some spoilers
but basically Yosef wants to create a clone army
to
basically create a super legion
and he wants to do that for you know
some
some complicated things let's just say none of it's good.
To avoid spoiling the entire game so
We basically have to fight through a legion of various
Chimeras and clones in order to get
to our good friend Yosef.
So that's what we're going to be up against next.
Yeah, the first thing that yeah,
yeah, the era is basically his
uh laboratory where he just gets all the research and
you saw that yeah it's now not becoming a very good place thanks to his
influence place thanks to his influence
so he there's this is an example of some legion abilities that he was able
to unlock.
One of these was Speed Star, which makes you move faster
Which you can imagine in a speedrun the ability to increase your movement speed is somewhat nice.
Yeah it takes a bit of time to set up so its not universally useful but its pretty helpful
sometimes! I believe that also increases your attack speed, which is helpful for the
axe especially, which is another one of the legions we unlocked along the way. It's very
slow but very strong and will be our main source of damage.
And another thing we do here... so this is the Black Hole glitch! By initiating specific
abilities on our legions and then swapping to other ones with correct timings,
we can basically trick the game
into thinking, oh yeah, they're doing
a different attack to what they're actually
going. It's because of like a...
it's like a value set in the
game, like a
value of the ability.
Basically what's
happening is normally this black hole...
I actually forget what it's called. It's called gravity something but we just like calling it Black Hole.
It's very descriptive. But basically, normally you would have to spend a lot of gene codes. Gene codes that we don't want to spend time grinding for
To unlock that right? Normally that would be like a very big end game
Like new game plus type skill that we would use.
But what's happening is we're switching
to arm where we want to use a skill
but then we're rapidly switching to sword
and
then we're switching back so So there's a lot of
switching that's happening
rapidly, back-and-forth
basically cycling through all the different
possible skills that Arm has
And so by doing that, we basically can then
go through
and use Black Hole
normally when you normally wouldn't be able
to do so. So that's very convenient.
Yeah, it's a very good skill for multi-enemy fights like the fight against
a bunch of Acura clones there since obviously sucks them in
and it stops them from moving too much.
And yeah, he's still in one place so we can just
get all of our attacks in one place and yeah, makes it pretty
nice. In general large like high volume enemy fights
are really hard to natural chain because they move out and they can be very slow but
axe and arm region both have really big aoe moves which make it
really efficient for uh the black hole glitch to be huge damage output
arm is kind of sorry axe legion is kind of a traditional lesion in that you think it's
like very slow but very high damage but whatid 2 is an expert at and has learned
is there's a way of basically like canceling attacks
and starting new ones. So you're doing a lot of damage
stacked at once which is why the axe legion is
so good
real quick i have ten dollars from pheromones loving the anthros
appreciation keep ampharos happy thank you so much and we are now only 5075 away from
our bonus twist levels thank you so much for getting us ever so closer to that incentive So this part here wanted us to use a bunch of our legion skills, but we kinda just skip them all by using specific sets of movement.
You saw Ratu pause for a second there, to set up a trick in order to skip like a wall coming up
and it's way faster than doing it normally.
I think there was a section where Hal says use the Arm Legion or use the Axe Legion,
and we're just speeding through on the arm! And yeah, here's the Black Hole glitch again
and yeah, all these Ravens
which are just Acura
clones underneath, all stuck
for a while and then we swap to
Axe Legion
and get a bunch of hits in as much as we can
oh i love that strategy so also what happened there is whenever the axe hits on that swing
it plants a bomb in the enemy and so what happened there is he basically planted a
bunch of bombs into each of the individual ravens. And then
he, because there was two black holes they kept
together so that when the bomb in each raven
exploded it caused a chain
reaction of huge
AoE damage and normally that fight which is kind of obnoxious and large casual uh casually
uh made it very short very short work um i think an underrated thing about Astral Chain as a hack and slash action game is you look
very stylish when you're able to chain together combos.
You know, it's one of those things where
when you first start playing it,
it feels very funky
but once you start moving
it looks just so gorgeous
when you're fighting efficiently
and no one can fight more
efficiently than right tou, honestly.
Of course, yeah. He's the best in the distance!
Yeah you might have noticed there is a finish-off prompt when you're fighting some of these chimeras
Basically what that does is another very flashy animation of you just like uh just yeah finishing them off
and it fully heals you but obviously ratu doesn't need that health and it's slow to
do the animation so ideally we just try to avoid that as much as possible.
The downside of that is it leaves them on 1 HP,
So...
We do kinda need to sometimes go out of our way a little bit just for one HP attack.
But after this fight against Scylla, I think?
I think this Chimera is called?
We now have reached the top of the lift.
And this is where things start to get serious.
There's yet another boss gauntlet coming up now.
The first is against Akira, which is actually a...
It's like time gated since we have to wait for her voice lines to run out but i believe that rafi will be able to yeah finish it pretty
perfectly on time by just yes her over, chainbinding
her buffing ourselves with fishy water and
power charge and then starting the axe onslaught. And that will deal a lot
of damage very quickly if you Just look at that health bar.
Yeah!
Oh lord.
This next section
so there basically
is a fusion oh Oh, yep,
there we go. Okay, yeah. So, we can
once again enter the fusion state
but that gauge takes a while
to build up so we really only have
one of these. So, We're basically using it now because
fighting all of these mini
nemesis legions is a pain and
its definitely the best use of our
fusion state to just immediately
wipe through all of these and enter the final boss section.
Yeah, you have to do this very efficiently otherwise you'll run out
of your fusion gauge and you have to fight them normally.
And also very efficiently so you don't run out
of your fishy water buff.
So yeah, very well done
by Ratty here. And now we are entering
the very final guy.
This is Noah, this is basically what Yosef transformed into and he's pretty big so
we can't do much in his first phase.
It's basically a platforming autoscroll sort of thing, where he's just gonna destroy the platforms and we have to jump between them.
But for these first few phases what you can do is you can just jump off! And that will move us onto the next phase.
It's like three or four phases, and by just jumping off the first few
it just completely skips them
and then we have to finish up the last one.
Yeah, it's very funny.
We have no clue why it's coded like that it basically is like oh well you
fell off well don't worry um we're just gonna move you on to the next section of this auto scroller
uh so it makes the autoscroller a lot faster you know we're jumping off but
you can see that yosip that noah is doing different moves so i mean we're clearly
progressing through the sequence however if you fall off during the last
sequence then this cycle will just repeat
so you do have to eventually finish a platform
movement section. Yeah, which I'm
sure Ratty's gonna be able to do
no problems at all! This one is
not too hard... A little optimization
is avoiding using the
chain jump here and just boosting off with the arm.
Like little jetpack boosts from the arm since there's a little slowdown when you do a chain jump
but not when you do those boosts, so yeah it's a tiny little optimization
but something to keep in mind.
The thing about the any% is we didn't really even have time talking
about it with those arm arm boosts which is basically
that fast movement with the arm. That is the fastest
movement in the game.
If you were doing movement earlier and
you see we're being the arm legion
and we're just dashing that's actually
the fastest movement in the game it just uses a lot of energy so you have to be very clever
in how you position it um but yeah i mean it's a very powerful tool that in any percent you really don't milk
as much as you do in the other categories.
And so now we've been sucked inside of Noah for...
Noah Core!
And this fight- This first phase is fairly simple. What we want to do
is just stack up our Pspishy Wards of Power Charge, and then just go ham with the Axel
Legion, it will go down very quickly. I literally blinked!
So now Core is over, it's time for Noah Prime the
true final boss.
So this is a very difficult fight against a very small opponent
compared to a lot of what we've been doing,
but Ratty's going to make
very quick work of it, starting off by
waiting for him to go into one of his attacks, and then using the sword ability to just basically parry it and stun him.
And from there he can do the classic set up our buffs with the Axe Legion and with our fishy water i believe we've got one more left
and then just go crazy with the armor we have for time
and mossy still stunned and that will take him him to just over half of his damage dealt.
Right, so again I mentioned it before but once again
highlight actually what was happening here and how he
was able to do such a crazy hp drain is he's able to once a bomb is planted
from the axe legion he's able to restart the damage he's able to cancel it and restart the damage sequence.
So he's gonna be stacking a lot of powerful axe swings on top of basically
a bomb explosion and then that just keeps stacking together
to create overall
massive damage. And he's setting that up using the stun. Yeah, and you're doing a
similar strategy here using the howl to stun him instead.
And just like that, that's Noob Prime done!
That's basically the run now.
It'll be a little cinematic cutscene here to show off how much we beat up Noah using all the legions.
And yeah, after that there will be a confirmation on whether you want like a text confirmation like
alright or I can't and that
will be the round.
And real quick as a reminder for those donating

I have a $25 donation from Goldsun that says, thank you for making an eight-hour road trip with a six year old and three year old fast and entertaining.
They say hi. Hello! Hi!
You're welcome, thank you for tuning in
With that being said
I'm got word that our next run is
all ready so we're going to dive right on into Quake 2
Enhanced N 64 Maps. Easy,
100% kills, 100% secrets
with Greenlink. Go ahead and take it
away. I'm guessing that is five seconds
because obviously
commentator and the stream feel it's different.
Okay! So hello there everybody, my name is Greenlink you may know me as
TheGuyWhoOnceRanToMy3DLand back at AGTQ 2013
And even Gunvolt at the acq 2016. so what the heck am i doing playing this well
there's a long story to that i used to speak on this back in 2014
we do time in second but first this is the N64 sequence.
N64 mounts were recently added to the Quake 2 Enhanced 2023 release last year
and before I start time, I'm going to go through this and get ready start time i go do this
and get ready on time people so after five seconds let's say start
five four three two one go okay One, go! Oh, okie dokie.
So what I'm doing is
easy difficulty
all kills, all secrets on all
19 levels. You know that means
I've got to kill every enemy, find every secret in the game.
Now this thing is quite frantic for me to try and concentrate all the time, you know?
It's hard to commentate AND play good at the same time.
Fortunately we have a Corvitch here to back me up hello everyone happy
to be here for the commentary for quake 2 64. so these are the maps from the n64 version of the game, which was released originally in 99.
And as a console game we have some mechanical differences so the worst one you can notice instantly is the jumping.
You don't really see Greenling Funnyhop, and that's because there's a built-in delay on the jumping
And it's actually fun fact
it's coded in as 2 times 64 milliseconds like quake 264 get it
nice i just found that to be really,
really neat. So anyway
we've finished up with the first level here
We can see the world map
We got 19 levels in front of us divided into 6 units
and we gotta kill all the enemies and find a whole secrets in all them
and the first enemy on this level is that soldier there actually let's get his friends as well
because they really like to wander off and if you've ever runran any 100% category in any FPS game,
you'll know that the worst kind of time loss is when
you reach the exit and you're missing
that one guy who ran off half a level ago.
So make sure to try to stay organized, get that detonation pack
on the ledge there because that's the level objective for this level. Now on the N64 version Quake 2
it's more of a linear
old school FPS
experience compared to the PC version which
has these sort of sprawling hops that you go in and out of.
Nice enemy grenade jump there! And we have activated an explosion here
and while we wait for it to explode,
We get this secret quad damage. The quad rampage
Obviously the best way to defeat enemies
And the best weapon for that is a machine gun because of the rate of fire and also you
don't have to pump it so if you miss, you can readjust and quickly keep firing.
Tear through that cutter and finish the level.
Also as a reminder after that level we are now at 4260 remaining of
the incentive needed for bonus twists level oh nice do it do people do it people.
Do it for charity,
do it for good cause.
Agreed.
Can I see another grenade jump?
This time using the corpse as the detonation point
since the corpse actually still sort of counts as an enemy
although not for the kill count thankfully because it's already dead.
One grenade shot to snipe the enemy that comes out of the monster closet.
And in this room there's a whole bunch of enemies,
so the Great Launcher is an excellent choice for this.
We also have a very important secret here in an event that Greenlings destroys.
Because here is the ammo pack power-up, which increases the maximum ammo capacity by 50%, and it's
the only one in the game actually, so you definitely want to get that. And it's super
powerful especially for this category because being able to hold lots of
ammo is very important when you need to dish out a lot
of damage including into that tank enemy that
you just saw it's extremely tanky so
it's definitely worth it to shoot a couple shots while passing it by into this room,
where we activate the exit lift and now just before we exit
we need to dispatch this tank.
Yeah, that's it.
Oh, oh.
Thanks for the gift. Tricky, tricky car. all right thank you guys tricky trick coming up yeah i was gonna say uh
so there's the there's a big crusher going into that, an acid pit here.
And you're meant to disable the crusher
but if you are just fast enough
you can manage to swim out of the acid before you get crushed into pieces. It is very tricky because
the water physics in this game are very sticky oh what's going on game i'm so tired oh sorry late night what's going on why it's doing why is nice
what's going on why it's doing why is the performance being choppy it's like getting very fbs here my thing
why is much game performance choppy?
What the... Okay, sorry guys. Something's not right here
The game performance is getting so choppy something's not right here
the game performance getting so choppy that i can't even play this properly um let's see this is the first.
This is an awkward first. Oh really? What is going on?
Yeah, something's not right. This is definitely not right.
Can you hear me guys?
No I'm not usually this terrible
Oh I'm not using this turbo.
And...
Don't taste the framing difference! No, come on.
I'm going to do this normally if I can't get one more time inside of this.
Yeah okay. side of this.
I think they do apologize. Yeah, that's just really weird.
I'll go there normally
and also is the best of me.
It's late night here.
As the technob gets too hang up on that, we'll get the chaingun and use it to kill the enemies that much faster.
Cowboy guys I make off first this is why the incident's 38 minutes.
There was a new enemy in the parents' and also a gunner, bursting out of the wall so definitely the chain gum comes in handy.
And this is the button that we can use to disable the crusher.
Yeah so unfortunately for some reason I can't even do the trick correctly. Bit of an indented method!
Okay, once we get through this hopefully things will go back to normal but that was...
That was very weird.
Mechanics weren't on my side, frame rate dropped to like 3 fps here now only 3,900 away from the bonus twists level we are at 73 percent of that. Thank you so much everyone for putting in your donations
towards that." Excellent. Okay yeah... That level happened.
At the first level, I mean at the first unit finished
so now we can move on to the space station
There's a very, very sort of random trick that you can do.
Because you see this tank here at the start?
You can actually manage to tele-frag it by activating a button that spawns in the person or her
and if we're lucky, it will spawn right on top of
the tank as it chases us through the level up to here.
So this is the button, and this button also lowers
the gravity you can see, gravity generator disabled
so that means we can jump significantly higher now.
But also, again, the enemies...
Speaking of enemies jumping,
the Berserker in the enhanced
version has been
buffed tremendously because
its AI has been buffed tremendously because its AI
has been improved and it's
got a new
leap attack. Yeah, that was the tank
unfortunately we didn't get
the blessing of the rng but back to
the berserkers they've got a new attack in this version of the game
a leap attack where they jump and when they land they do a huge
knockback wave
and it can be
extremely
annoying
when they
knock you
about the level
especially in
low gravity
definitely one of the most dangerous enemies
Once their life seems
We have a five dollar donation from Dan,
The man that says less than three.
Oh, thank you very much for the donation.
Much love. So this is the objective of this battle and to collect three
three explosives.
Sorry.
We're going to use them in the next level,
actually.
But now just one more Berserker, a plane
and then this rocket launcher wielding enemy
who i believe are called the iron maiden
I think that's a metal reference from id Software.
L6, we see a new enemy. These are the Icarus flying enemies.
Also, we have a $25 donation from Rambo Rachel that says live, laugh, quake guy jump sound.
I mean donate.
Okay.
There's a secret pot under the elevator which gives us the adrenaline power-up here,
which definitely comes in clutch healing
us fully. Yep. I'm gonna
get some more ammo. Pocket jump here.
Oh what the heck was that? away from those bonus levels we are getting so, so close.
P-Lovely donates $25 Here's for more Quake!
And D with $5050 less than three. Okay, I'm not is kind of tough.
This completes the objective for this level, which triggers the auto-destruct sequence.
Unfortunately getting auto destruction doesn't count towards the kill counts so we start start to dispatch all the enemies manually.
But it's no biggie since we only have three left
two gladiators and one Icarus in this room
And then a final secret
So there is an button behind that box and all Greenling needs to do is shoot that button
using a rocket since just activating the button is enough to trigger the secret.
You don't actually have to collect
the items. That's a neat little trick, using the grenade launcher to shoot that wall since
it is actually a secret panel to reveal a secret and also kill those two soldiers at the same time.
Now, an interesting mechanic that comes up sometimes in this run is
the stealth.
Maybe you wouldn't expect that in a Quake game, but when the enemies aren't aware of
you, you do severely increased damage which can be used to for example kill those gunners
those quite tanky enemies in one hit.
It saves a lot of time.
Single button on the ceiling next to that button here reveals this
adrenaline and now when we rise up the left,
we can collect the Railgun! The quakest of all Quake weapons and my favorite.
Also very useful in this rerrun, especially after the latest patch since the weapon actually got buffed in terms of damage it deals. So its a very useful now
our final room with another tank so we'll use the hyperblast which we collected in this secret and at the start of the level.
This weapon actually does the most damage per second out of all the weapons,
however it uses the cell ammo which is shared with the BFG
so we definitely need to conserve that ammo for later
especially since these cells are the cells are quite rare as well.
Cargo Halls. This level is one of my favorites in the speedrun because it's got a really interesting route. We're actually going to go through
a portion of the level backwards,
because there is a sewer hatch right here
which we want to skip
so we do this rocket jump
and then go through the level in the reverse order so lots of
enemies are going to be facing away from us which is also useful for this stealth mechanic
real quick we have fifty50 from Neary.
Good luck on the run, Bruno Link.
Always love playing Turtles with you.
Cowabunga dude, let's crush it for MSF.
Also, we only need $3,725 and not a lot of time to do it. Let's get those donations in
and select that as our incentive
so we can see that additional secret level
to this run.
Thank you very much for the wonderful donation, Mary.
Great turtle body back in swimming a few months ago
it's crazy four player and six player when we did
me was michelangelo and that was rafael
get bats Good bats. Alright, that's the reverse portion complete
Now we got quite a lot of damage from that
It is going to be very handy for this next section with about
four gunners and a gladiator to finish off the level. So those are the tankier enemies
from the game so it's very useful to have the quad for those
there we go nice double kill and we're done yay nice the next level is quite
hong jie heavy especially when I go for the luckiest strat
luring every enemy to one area. Which is what I'm not going to do because most of
time it doesn't always work out. So the strategy I'm gonna do is a bit
more map friendly... So the strategy I'm gonna do is a bit more math and friendly, more yeah.
Sorry about that 75% up through
that bonus twist level 3615 to go
i wanted to mention this level is very open which uh
does not help with the consistency of the enemies him to run all around this place wow i just yeah that's
a first that's what i meant by the leap attack and the berserkers.
Those kind of things can happen.
You could also notice that the floor is slidey, which is a unique mechanic only in this level.
And it's actually pretty useful on the enhanced version, because you can manage to get a nice circle strafe once in awhile to build tons of speed.
It's actually used in the Any% category to help with the rocket jump up here. Speaking of rocket
jumping up here, this portion of the map is actually blocked off by an invisible wall
until you activate the two buttons that are on the lower floor
and now when we're in this middle section, we can go and reach
two other buttons to exit the level. And it also spawns
uh two more mutants or sorry three more musings in the central area
so we want to use the chain gun to get rid of those quickly
and also get the secret armor here in the frozen
pool two more enemies.
Yeah, it happens
often in this level. Just a
straggler or two left. Let's see
is it right? Is it left?
Usually one of the enforcers.
Not this side, okay let's try this side.
There you go.
Come on, I've got a lot for ya! Michael
sends $50 more quake equals more GDQ less than 3
thank you so much we are 3585
away
huh thousand five hundred and eighty-five away.
This is interesting.
Kill everyone here, so next section don't have to kill anyone
basically two switches that kills them for me Anonymous donates $5 more. Quake, I agree, more quake.
Just in time for a cycle with this box.
Now we get to collect the very big gun,
you can use any word that's the app which is definitely gonna be useful considering there is a sort of boss enemy in this level, as the halfway point in the game.
It's a huge tank, I believe it's based on one of the bosses from the PC version.
And yeah, use the hyper blaster rather than the BFG however since in terms of DPS
The hyper blaster is better but we will use the BFG to get rid of
rooms, get rid of enemies
large clumps of
enemies in rooms
later in the run
Verdant Hope donates $10 in the run.
Verden Hope donates $10 $10 train, let's go Twitch chat!
Thank you so much for your donation
Including this room You can see, a large open room is perfect for the BFG
and if you know how the BFG works in these older e-software games
it's often very quirky
The Quake II BFG I think is sort of a blueprint
for the BFGs as it was used later in DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal
You shoot the ball, and then you get tangles coming out of the ball.
A BFG jump is better than a rocket launcher, or a rocket jump if you have quad damage because
you actually take less self-damage.
Okay, that's it.
Five dollar donation from Alex and Dad! We got some sleep and just got back to the building in time for the Quake 2 run. You got this, Greenalink! Don't know if there's a train going on but during Quake it has to be a bullet train. Here is $5 for our ticket.
Thank you so much!
All aboard the bullet train, as well as the rocket train
Less well known but equally fast
Okay
I got this one. I love it when you combine useful and damaging with a PSA jumps like that.
And chat audience we are only levels away from needing to meet this incentive. We have 3,555 left let's get that meat. Only 24% to go!
At the first level of Unit 5 finished, Unit 5 is the longest one. It's 8 levels long.
By far the longest chapter.
And I don't know about you, Greenling, but this level is one of the more challenging.
Oh yeah it can be let's see there's a weird level trick of enemy trigger
here as well in a few seconds if you want to send flyers it will unlock that door I just went through.
Oh okay!
Didn't get what I wanted from the BFG shot but...
There's enemy there.
The ideal strat is to use BFC shots big orb, to actually kill the gladiator in one shot
but that didn't work out
okay
go down here now lord star probably think oh can you skip most of these items no because some
of invisible barriers i've got to put this crystal key into the slot
just to unlock it and remove a little barrier that one there so now i can go through the lift
and yeah go to the other side even And Sleeper donates $25.
Love Quake 2, it was my first FPS as a kid.
When I die, bury me in the edge. Let's get those bonus levels. We now need $3,430 for that. We are at 77%. Let's get those donations and select the quick two enhanced bonus twist levels when you do.
Don't go down here to Lopez's secrets, ooh! secrets
there we go that's much better. Shout out to all the sanity workers out there!
Oh wow so rough that one.
Not actually this... not THIS bad either. Oh, that's a rough one.
Not this bad usually.
Okay, quick save here.
That's the second way to get in once it's unlocked.
If you go through another place or from
another spot you can die but on that part you're safe all right this
is quite a challenging level
start off with this large moving platform. So we want to skip riding it, with a...
Oh! You go for a VFJ jump.
Yep. Let's it I can...
There we go
Very nice!
New rush strategy just to get
to the outside sooner.
Wes, Sharon and Annie donate $5 for a bullet train from Workquake
and more SGDQ we now only need 3 350. thank you so much
for that donation
oh can't get back to it's important to shoot that guy because when he is dead, it spawns more enemies up here on the upper floor.
All of those need to be eliminated for 100% completion.
See ya Joe! for the 100% completion.
Sujo hops on the train with $10, clearly a $5 train is not fast enough to get work quick goodness so I think we'll need a much faster $10 bullet train instead
Thank you very much for your bullet train ticket, we now need 3253, we are
at 78-79%, we are now at 3042
get those donations and we are coming up on that and I want to see more of this
It's one more color left, I believe
Yeah now we will use the
mechanic of the enhanced port, so when
you open up these sort-of popups
you actually get a bullet time effect
and can use that to aid with
air strafing down here into the exit pipe
without having to activate the bridge
and so on.
Well, it definitely saves
a bit of time.
It saves me both the energy reserve my help for later.
Emily Rose donates $10 more SGDQ, more SGDQ. Let's get that incentive we now only need three thousand seventeen dollars
i want to mention very nice stealth skills from that start of this prison level
sushi elemental says for 25 quake 2 enhanced scent and, crowd entranced, MSF financed.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching! They even got a good cycle here on these lightning bolts, although you can just run through them. It doesn't do that much damage.
And we're diving for a
quality grit although it's quite late in the level so it's not the most useful
quad but i mean better than nothing sure
oh yeah bad the science sir.
And do we get a good exit cycle? Yes we do so that you have these sort of they look like
coffins on this conveyor belt and it can block your path to the exit trigger which is sort of to the right of the conveyor belt.
We got an extremely fast cycle there. Very nice!
Anonymous with $50 says,
Quake!
Quake!
Quake!
Quake!
I agree!
We need 2,987.
We are 80% funded of the bonus
twists level when you donate.
At the bottom select incentive. Add that incentive so
we can see more of this game.
2,937
2,927. It is my favorite
thing when this number goes down when I'm saying
it out loud. So keep those donations coming in, we are so
close and we need 2,922
thank you chat! We need to get that net
so we can see more Drake, thank you so much! We have $250 from Matamizer covering a few seats on the $5 train.
Choo-choo! Sorry about that. Go on.
Ha ha ha.
Razzle is...
...
... I was gonna say setting up another BFG shot since we run through a very long hallway with
lots of enemies chasing after us so bfg is an excellent solution
to problem now that rocket ammo pickups extremely important because that's what actually spawns in
that preserver coming in from the other side of that bridge. And now, shoot this click button
to reveal another quad damage.
Okay,
and we're now instant hype train.
Please mind the gap.
Including the gladiator next to this tram now we are now entering
fireways treatment please mine again please mind the gap
dareless donates 25 Thank you,792. We are 81% through. Chat let's get those in!
This is another level with very well placed invisible walls by the developers, preventing
any sort of rocket jumping shenanigans.
So we need to go through this small sewer pipe where you can reach this secret but yes this is where the wall
is so nick boat donates five dollars pew pew all aboard the bullet train very right Very right.
Jump across the air to prevent... just keep having to raise
your water level, because water does not
rise very quickly compared to rockets
but now we are past that
invisible wall
and we will get a secret quad
right here, because the ending part of this level is very filled with
enemies and it's very challenging. It's a huge room with lots of pipes as well. So we're
going to hope for a well-placed EFG to thaw things off.
Kill the gladiator that's up on that ledge.
That was an excellent shot, and now... and that's how
get this armor here because that spawns in another plane the panel very
important it took me a long time to find that one on my first playthrough
and another very cramped room with lots of enemies so
perfect nathaniel doing 25 dollars crammed room with lots of enemies, so... Perfect. Nathanael donates $25
and says more Quake? Alice donates
a hundred dollars. Quake was the first game that I ever
played where I felt like I could go really fast
if I just tried to. And watching this
made me realize that I was nowhere near as fast as I thought I was.
Thank you so much for that donation!
Shred donates $10, fastest serving of stroganoff in the world of Greener Link.
Hype!
Here's $10 from more Quake, more GDQ.
We now only need $ thousand six hundred and seventeen
dollars to get those bonus level met let's go ahead and get this in 2000 uh 2607 thank you
for the donation i have five dollars5 from Failed Uplink,
I need more Quake
from Greenalink.
I agree!
I also need more
Quake from Greenalink.
Thank you so much!
We've got two levels left
including this one
before we get to
the final level
by the way
so it's going to be ending pretty soonish
you have two levels to get in those donations and when you do make sure
to click incentives and add the incentive for clique to enhance bonus twists level mr. Florida donates $10 one
ticket for the $10 bullet train please absolutely all aboard. Here you go.
Alley-on donates $50.
Bullet train goes, ka-choo, ka-choo. Oh my gosh I can't believe he just made me say that out loud but
thank you so much. I can't believe you.
We are now at 2,597 to meet it
and only two levels before we can do it.
Chat, get those donations in.
Audience, get those donations in.
Chappers donates $50.
Woo from the crowd finally made it. More Quake
and more Mass Effect 2, please.
Of course.
Oh, no thanks, Matt.
What?
No, you're fine. Anonymous... No you're fine!
Anonymous just donates $100
there's no comment
but anonymous thank you so much for donating!
Here after this we can do this
After this won't be 1 level left before the final level.
We have 1 level left to get 2,562 Twitch chat audience let's get those in
make sure you add the incentive Sh. Smarty with $100 donating to
MoreGDQ because MoreGDQ is MoreGDQ. I agree, and Edwin with $10 less than three. MoreGDQ
less than three. It is. It's amazing, it's wonderful,
it's love. Thank you so much.
Right the final unit
Ascend to the Core
is an ultimate level
I don't really understand
this leveling because
it's a huge vertical tower
should be called Ascend
to the Core, but that's just my opinion. Anyway you see these strolling textures as well on
the walls? That's an effect unique for the n64 quake i don't think
there's a scrolling texture in the pc version anyway and also this
large bar that you can see now this is actually
uh not visible on the original console
version i'm not quite sure why it's here but
it's a little disorientated yeah the third one forgot to make that
part invisible but keep lights there but not the beam
that's that's fine actually it's the purpose of that bm is for the light
that's absolutely correct we now only need two thousand five hundred,502 to meet this.
EFG jump for this final secret and yeah very smooth.
Here we can see one of the boss enemies.
There you go, yeah so this is the cutoff point now as we enter the final level!
Thank you very much for everyone who tried their very hardest to donate.
It's a wonderful cause.
A big thank-you, it all does go to Doctors Without Borders so it's an amazing cause
so the final boss of this game is composed out of two uh tank enforcers and two of the big flying enemies whose name eludes me but we will use this
thank you absolutely we'll use the hyper blaster to defeat these.
As I said before, it's the highest DPS
and killing each of these guys opens
one of this sort-of side areas, side panels which is the flying buses to merge out of.
But it's better to kill the right ones first because that way we can collect some extra cell ammo, which won't give us just enough
in all of these.
Now this is like
the very near end
of run now, so I might as well quickly do
some shouts to you Hobbits for helping me contact the wrong.
What else?
Shout out to Sea,
shout out to Sphere for helping me out in the past
and time! There you go.
That's the end of Quick 2.
Well, now
it was experience and a half. It was my first time
doing a run from home. I noticed
the performance on my PC started ch chug, but I was playing
the game in 4K.
So anyway, like I said earlier, shout out to Kovic, Cee, Sphere for helping me point out some new ideas
for Brutes.
We also have a shout-out
for J-Hop,
who has his name
mentioned on the leaderboards
for Quake 2 Enhanced.
Yeah, there's a leaderboard
for this.
Go to speedrun.com
slash quake2enhanced I think yeah there's a leaderboard for this go to speedrun.com slash quick two enhance i think
you can search on the website there is a form there that will try and make a post about
interesting differences and there's also discord you can follow me on twitch
and greenlink sda that's g-r-e-n-a l-i-n-k sd-a but i'm more of a youtube
person so if you go over to youtube.com slash
green link that's where
most of my content is from. I've been making
videos for fun for the past 17 years and
lately I posted a
five hour- nearly 5 hour long documentary
Donkey Kong Country 2. I've got to plug that one in
and if you're
one of those viewers who watched this run,
you can go to that video and put on there
Berserker loves Twilight Princess
Anything else people want to say anything?
I'd like to shout out to Eeyore and Johan, who I believe are in the live audience. My buddies!
Excellent.
I think that is everything so thank you very much viewers until next time folks
thank you so much for that amazing run and audience twitch chat we raised 12 902 on that incentive alone for msf so thank you
so much for those donations i am so excited we are already at $354,963.
We are raising so much for this amazing cause
So thank you again. It means a lot to me that we're able to do this and it's just
going to go such a long way with that. Go ahead, stretch take
a break stand up get some water you do whatever you want to make yourself happy
and comfortable we'll be back very, very shortly. 🎵 so so so so so is is so so so so so so so so. so
welcome back let's have a quick word from Gearbox.
Not that long ago this city looked hella different.
My crew and I are keeping the systems down,
And a six pack.
It's time to finish this masterpiece!
It's not your save game.
Rakugaki Available now.
Boomrog T Burn, sends in $50 and says, much like
the animals, we should also save the crew
Here's to Shepard getting through Mass Effect
2 with all of their pals
Thank you for your donation that that is referring to no one
left behind from Mass Effect 2
we are at 9,564
out of 30,000
31% in the way
so let's get that met so we can save
that whole crew and our next one is already ready chat
audience let's go ahead and go to dishonored glitch list with falk Hey, my name is Fok.
Today we'll be gaming in Dishonored Galicious.
I have a co-commentator on this stream next to me.
Introduce yourself?
Hello! It's me, Lervin.
I'm right off screen, I swear.
Right there.
So... We'll keep the intro short Right there. So,
we'll keep the intro short
and explain all of this stuff
along the way.
Lurin will do most of talking
and I would chime in and say some funny stuff.
So the timer starts in five, four, three, two, one go.
Okay so this is Dishonored right Right away we do the classic. This happens
every time at a marathon. You're trying to jump over
this guy's head and sometimes you can't.
Those guys
are blocking you. It happens every time.
So in the intro section here, Fawke is
gonna start by running up to
our mission which is talking
to the Empress
He's gonna have to
interact with some characters on the way. In this run we will not
have a lot of time for story, this is for several reasons
that I'll get back to you in a second about. Now he's starting the cutscene
after this he will have a fight tutorial
and in this fight
tutorial, he will line himself up
and be ready to fight
the assassins that will spawn
and kill the Empress. Spoiler alert um so you'll be ready to fight those guys
and do some shots of on them right away so they will not be able to find back
uh so what you might
already have noticed about
this run that Fock is doing,
it's using the new Dishonored Speed-Up component
which is a part of LiveSplit
and allows us to speed up cutscenes.
This game has
a lot of cutscenes, casually and
as a speedrun. In the speedrun you have
about two-thirds
of the game is actually cutscenes if you don't use the component.
So it has been made by DrTeachHots for us and it speeds up both the game
AND THE TIMER! So times are comparable to not using the speedup
component, its a godsend, its so good for us. Now Mufaka
started the fight tutorial and now he is done with the fight tutorial. And as you can see
this cutscene has gone by really fast so you will not lose out on a lot of story here
uh so you'll be able to play this game casually after watching the speedrun even if you haven't
played it before because you will not know what is going on most of the time so don't be surprised about
the fact that my pb for example on june.com is 36 31 and estimate this uh 30 minutes flat yeah
it's a weird situation there where your load remove time is higher than your RTA
Anyway so we've just been dishonored
Hawk is now in prison and he's about to escape through eating some bread and getting a key under the bread
and this person section is one of the most random parts of the run
because you don't yet have your
magical abilities and so the guards around here can be really annoying but he's gonna
try here to get on top of this lap and jump first try that's really good.
So in this section you are just trying to get to a bomb that is in the safe of the room that Fafnir is entering now
and use that bomb to escape the prison's main exit it gets the bomb and now you can we'll see
how it goes but these guards can be a little bit random. That guy played nice. Yeah, that
guy did not play
nice. Preferably
we would know the game and those
people but...
Sometimes you have to take them out.
Sometimes you don't.
It's second here and there can be annoying when they're trying
to PB but hey this is a marathon we take that
so he's going to place the bomb now on this door and then he's going to have a little bit of time before it explodes.
He's just gonna go over here, eat some canned food and pick up a health potion.
Nice, I like't have it.
Then he's going to try
to get on top of this bridge.
That is great.
That skips some swimming.
Swimming is slow in this game
so
you can just run across
the bridge instead.
Really nice.
Definitely not a glitch by the way to go up there that's definitely intended. We are on the easiest difficulty for the speedrun and that is why he is able
to tank the explosion like that and just run out and get onto the bridge.
Now we are in the sewers,
and in the sewers...
This is kind of a stealth tutorial.
You have, like, a lot
of guards that can spot you and stuff, but you can't really interact with.
And it's just a bit of running to get where he wants to go.
He is going to pick up some supplies later on, you can see the hidden supply sub-jector right there.
Uh, Mr. Cool Little Strap...
Mr. Dolphin Bug, but it doesn't really say much.
Ah!
Now he has to interact with the dead body.
Make sure you wash your hands after leaving the sewers Corvogees.
There's too much water around here.
Yeah just watch it in the stream
honestly. So right here
you're supposed to have to deal with these rats that
you can see on the right but if you stand
on those rocks the rats can't really hit you
Then it's time for a long chain here and at the top he will get access to his tools
And the tools are like a crossbow, it has a much cooler sword than the one he has now.
And this is just like,
The bread and butter of the game if you played it casually.
Will not be used that much in the speedrun.
Do you kill anyone with the sword
after this point?
I don't even think so.
Anyway,
he has to crossbow. He just did a glitch right away, well it's not a glitch I swear, it's an ex-quick.
No no this is blichless, he did a trick called swordless where you can put away your sword and then still have your equipment out.
Since your sword is away, you run 10% faster than if your sword was out.
But you can still use your crossbow in this instance or your teleport ability later on while still having the running speed boost...
...which is a really nice little trick.
And,
the reason why it's allowed in glitchless, even though
it's like kind of
on the verge of being a glitch,
is that it's really easy to do by accident.
It's a glitch that was just found
right away when this game came out, because
you do it all the time by accident
if you're just bringing your stuff
constantly and trying to put your sword away.
Absolutely, come on! You can't pick one thing and then put it away
and have the second in hand. You don't call Deglish in real life.
Yeah, yeah... Probably improves your aim with the crossbow anyway.
So now we're in the Houndpits hub, this is the hub area of the game.
We'll return here between missions,
do some small little objectives
and then move on. This is probably
the biggest section of the Hound Pits
this time he's here right now
because he's talking to Pierrot and after he's done talking to Pierrot, he's talking to piero and after
he's done talking about it he's going to go to sleep
and well your life will get you'll get a little bit of
uh it'll be a long dream here.
A long dream?
It's gonna be a weird one.
Yeah, one of the weirder dreams I've ever seen honestly.
So he's going to sleep right now.
And when he wakes up,
he's in Corvo's bedroom, which maybe looks normal for now, but
then you exit the door
and you see that everything is different.
So he's about to get his teleport ability blinked, which is...
My outsider mark?
Yeah your mark with the Outsider on your hand.
That is... it's really nice!
I like that you did this change to it visually.
You'll see better in the future, in a minute.
But yes, this teleportability blink is in the future, in a minute.
But yes, this teleport ability Blink is like the bread and butter
of Dishonored speedrunning. It's
such a nice ability.
What makes this game have its identity
as a speedrun?
Requires game have its identity as a speedrun. It requires the use of mana every time you use it, so you see him pick up these blue
vials along the way basically throughout the entire game. And those
vials will refill his mana, and
he has to route
his mana very tightly in order
to get as much out of his blink
ability as possible throughout the entire game.
So that's a big part from batting categories for this game.
Here is the mark by the way, you can clearly see it
clearly intended and outside is pretty bad on photoshopping so don't blame him
yeah it's uh it's beautiful uh what he picked up there by the way is the pre-order DLCs, those are allowed in all of the major
speedrunning categories for this just because they make the game more fun, it allows you
to get a lot of money at the start here and buy everything you need
Which means you don't have to spend a lot of time later on buying potions once you have a bit of money
And it just speeds up the game in general in ways that are cool and interesting. So we just allow them
Just give the signal
right now i think we have time for some donations yeah awesome same wavelength um i have 25 dollars from Fo' X Fray.
Dishonored is my favorite game.
Seeing it speedrun is awesome.
Thank you so much for your donation.
Mycom donates $50.
So hyped for Dishonored.
Good luck, Fahk.
Thank you so, so much.
And I have $10 from MK! I missed the
Katamari run earlier but I'm excited to watch the VOD
on YouTube. Just got home in time to catch
this Dishonored run and I'm amped.
Let's get that Mass Effect unlock! We are now at
9,900 out of 30,000 for that Mass Effect unlock. Go ahead
and get those donations in and select your incentives.
Mass effect is awesome. That'll be really cool.
Keep on donating for that!
So right now, Falk just freed a guy and now he's pulling a lever.
Freeing the guy is part of the story, you have to do that.
But the lever he pulled after freeing Martin
Is actually something that opens
The door right here. It will open this like
A minute and a half faster than if you don't pull that
lever we think it's like a dev thing where
they left it in maybe accidentally maybe not uh but it
just allows us to be a lot faster here uh
it's definitely not a glitch to pull that lever,
it's inbounds so don't think about it too much please!
Just don't worry about it!
The levers have less hitbox
so it's hard to pick up for some reason sometimes potions in this game are kind
of jacked you pick up when you have a lot of speed going past them anyway that entire mission
was just killing one person picking up their the journal and then you leave maybe it's not my place to say
uh so coming up now we have a little bit of time for donations in a second but
in this section he is going to take out two uh weepers or zombies in a sewer and that's basically
all he's gonna do about the hound pit's pulp so we have time for some donations now absolutely
thank you so much disparatebird Dawn donates $300.
There is no comment, but thank you
so, so much for that donation.
I have Kiwi with $10.
More GDQ?
More!
We're on it.
We've got you.
Thank you so much.
$250 from OMG Kingdano.
My wife Katie and I love watching GDQ.
Thank you for the years of content
and entertainment.
Thank you for the years of watching.
That means a lot.
And we are at 9,909 out of 4...
9-0-9-9-0-9-4-6.
Oh, that's a lot of nines.
Out of $30,000 for that incentive 33%,
and $356, three dollars raised total so far thank
you so much everyone it's a lot of money the focus now coming up on those zombies i
talked about earlier.
He's taking out one of them,
then he's going to pick up some runes.
Runes are used to upgrade abilities. He's been picking some up already, you might have noticed.
Then he's taking out the other one. This is
to prevent a softlock that I'm not really going to get into now,
and then he just has to leave,
talk to some guys, and then get
back onto the boat.
This game at marathons used to be
so chill, and you had all the time in the world to explain stuff,
but now we're just speeding through it. The speed-up component makes it so much more fun
to play this game... But it does mean that we kinda have to gloss over some things
here and there. It gives like a third of the game,
like uh... The third of the game is custom so
it's very nice quality of life I think.
Huge shout outs to Dr T Chops for
creating that for us
he just came out of nowhere
with it, just started developing
it and had it done in like two months
it's amazing
this mission right here, the Houndpits Pub is a mission where there are two targets and it's random where they are.
They have 2 different locations that they can be in so we will see soon after he now goes up and frees Emily, who is the girl from the intro section.
He's gonna free her from a room and then he's going to have to go take out the targets
And we'll see where they are,
and you have to adapt to that on the fly.
This area also has a lot of enemies throughout
And they can get in the way really easily
and have a tendency to
uh this is what's called bad rng which honestly
looks cooler so i'm kind of happy we got that one although it is a little bit
slower so now he has to go down to this
basement that's why it's bad orNG because it takes longer to go down here than the other configuration.
Just goes down there, takes out that guy, has to back up.
As mentioned those guys can get in the way really easily here.
And sometimes you land on their heads!
So in this area... You're kind of on a timer so that's why we are picking up all these
potions on the way.
He is now going to get down there and have to push Emily a bit,
to get back out. Which is kind of what ends that timer.
Then this piece of movement is really cool for when you leave
You go through some very tight spots to get there, and then it's back to where we started the mission in order to leave for the next one. When I just started learning this game that was probably my most annoying place because it is very funny yeah you have to really
have a good day or what i don't know
so you did the oh so here we have what is the longest cutscene in a while. Feel free to do some donations here.
Absolutely, I have $25 from Korami. Had to donate during the dishonest feed run since
i just got my mark of the outsider tattooed just a few days ago good luck with the run
thank you very much icy pandemonium donates ten10. Mass Effect, my love, less than three.
Also we hit 10,253 out of 30,000 for the No One Left Behind Mass Effect 2 run.
So close! We're getting so much closer, right?
34%. That's amazing. You all are doing so great.
Thank you so much. I have
$25 from Cheerful State.
Maybe the true mass effect is the friends we made along
the way. Let's save this perfect squad!
Let's do it, let's save!
Pido Ace donates $150!
I was so excited to see Dishonored on the schedule
this year, it's one of my favorites.
Good luck, Foth, I know you'll finish this run in a blink.
Thank you so much. Thanks.
Yeah, there's the joke.
Yeah, very cheeky. There are some mandatory jokes that we have to get in regarding glitches.
We have to go with them.
So now it is time for Coldwinds Fridge! In this mission he's going to definitely also not do a glitch right
at the start here and go through a door with a blink ability when you're blinking your cutscene
gets or knowing your hitbox gets smaller one step back oh there we go. Yeah.
So you can go through that window because your hitbox gets smaller while you're blinking
and so just imagine it's not a glitch because it's just corvo pulling his legs up right as he
teleports so he can just like get good ground being when he like lands again oh totally fake
yeah i did not just do this lands again. I would totally fit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now just do this thing.
This is a classic...
This area has a lot of
climbing and it's
a lot harder to use
blink upwards
than forwards,
because for some reason they cut off your blink distance when you're going up or down
compared to going forwards. Which is weird mechanic but hey we'll take it.
It allows for some interesting routing here and there. weird mechanic, but hey, we'll take it.
It allows for some interesting routing here and there.
In this mission he's basically
just going to the end and then he's going to kidnap
a guy,
the guy you saw on the Lotus Beam there, So so love uh so instead of taking out a target and
uh murdering them he's instead going to use a sleep dart which instantly puts him to sleep
and then he's going to pick him up and take
him with him to the end of the level, which is right down here under these
girders
And then Samuel is just chillin there waiting for us
Do we have time for like two donations before
we gotta start explaining the next mission? Absolutely, The Thorns donates
$25. Dishonored is one of my favorite games and helped me get into GDQ
Thank you so much! And $25 from squee as someone who has the mark of the
outsider from dishonored tattooed i very much need that whale flush thank you for your donation
a lot of people have the mark a lot of people made it yeah i also have the mark. A lot of people made it.
Yeah, I also have the mark.
Gotta have the mark!
So in this level that is coming up right here
It's an infamous level among speedrunners,
and also just an awesome level casually. We're going to a party
and we have to take out one of three sisters. Where
or which sister it is and where that sister spawns
is random. Which means that we have like, I want to say
18 different variations of how this mission can actually go
where nine are relevant in the speedrun and and Fawke has to adapt on the fly
to which one he gets. So 1 of them is just by far the fastest one
And we will see how this goes! I'll do a little bit of play-by-play once we get there, but until then he's going to
get on his boat and have to do some movement to get in there.
Another thing that he is gonna do once he leaves the mansion here is he's going to talk to a character called Lord Shaw.
This is not mandatory for beating the game, but it skips dialogue later so when he talks to Shaw that is just to save time later on.
That's a common question people have here.
So I just want to get that out of the way.
So oh, he had me left jump tea handy lamp jump.
That is awesome.
I love that. Shout outs henny for missing that lamp in 2017.
and there's a note on the table now that will tell him who his target is.
He got the worst possible target, and got like second or third try so this is pretty unlucky but it means we get to see more of the party so that's fine
i didn't really touch on why he's using these spring razor mines
instead of using a sword it's because when you're using the sword,
you usually get a really long animation
which can be skipped by jumping
before using the sword
but then still gets the game slowing down
to give you like a cinematic view of the kill
when you're doing it on a target.
And so by just instead
using a resource, he can
just skip all of that.
So here we have time for a couple more donations before the tower mission?
Absolutely, I have $50 from Scootaloo's donating
for the No One Left Behind incentive because teamwork makes the dream work!
Good luck on the run thank you so
much for that donation i have a hundred dollars from anonymous there is no comment but anonymous
thank you so much and also we are at 10 563 out of thirty thousand thirty-five percent
of meeting that incentive so thank you everyone for all the donations
it's going up so fast holy moly that's so good
uh this is thatscene where it saves
the time from earlier with Lord Shaw, by the way.
Take it away, Fox!
Go for that.
In this intermission one of the only ones where we have a cutscene
that we can't skip with the speed up and it has some cool movement to it
that section is also really cool in any percent if you want
to see a much more glitch heavy wrong there, there's so many glitches in Any%
You can go check that out. Just had new discoveries
This game is very much alive still
Even though it's now... 12 years old?
Yeah, a little bit more than this year.
Holy moly!
So...
This is the return to the tower
and this was the area that F fog was in in the intro section uh here we're going
to start with a really precise jump oops now you have that for later. Created a
save there instead of loading one. That happens.
So this
jump is very precise.
It allows
you to skip going inside an area or doing another weird routing.
So even getting that like second or third try is definitely just worth.
This area's also pretty tight, they want you to do stealth here so
they don't really want you to have all of this uh like going faster
is not really great the game doesn't want you Anyway, he's now getting to the roof
after going inside
this means that the Lord Regent
our target here will be on the roof and he's just gonna
line up
and throw that grenade.
Bang it!
This grenade has to not only make it to the Lord Regent, but go over a wall of light which is like a death barrier that they place in levels.
Such a cool grenade!
So its very tight where you throw that. it looks like it shouldn't be but it's
so tight and then he's just going back to sabiola and let me can leave again you're ready
to go back to the hound pits So we have time for like two donations here
before, well that was the last target
of the game in terms of the people
we need to take out so it's definitely over
real soon for sure
Moonbeam donates $25, GDQ week has been soon for sure.
Moonbeam donates $25 GDQ week has been a holiday in my
household since we first discovered it when our daughter
was first born. Thanks for making those
first late nights a party, Lesson 3.
Thank you so much and I'm glad that we could make it a little bit of a party. Less than three. Thank you so much, and I'm glad that we could make it
a little bit of a party for you
And we have $50 from Anonymous. There is no
comment but Anonymous. I really
appreciate it, and we are at
10,737 out of 30,000 for No One Left Behind Mass Effect 2.
So...
I don't know what to do just...
I have to take some napkins.
Corvo is so tired from all the... Yeah.
That happens. So story-wise, we've just been
poisoned.
In this section, the game takes away all your
equipment, including all your mana potions.
The game is actually routed like I talked about earlier
regarding mana so that you don't have any
monopotions left at this point so they don't get taken away and that means that now
for the rest of the game will not have any equipment at all, which is really nice because
you don't actually have to kill anyone for the rest of the game.
So that's a short dream sequence, that's the shortest screen of this
of this uh category
then they take the supernatural assassin and
they put him in tank with wooden boards covering
the tank.
What could ever go wrong there? So immediately you see him picking up more mana potions as talked
about earlier that's very important in this game then he does what's called a double blink where
you do two blinks in the air by timing your double jump with the first blink really tightly.
And then picks up a key to be able to leave this area, and now he has to go fight down.
You think it's gonna be a good fight?
I'm going to self-fight him. Yeah, so this is the Daud fight
He steals his key and then runs away
I just imagine Corvo snickering while he's like
Just going in there and being like
hi Daud, bye Daud
And then yeah
now you can see that that was
definitely a fight because Daud is now a spared
target for sure good fight, good fight.
Now the next part
of this mission is to just get back to the Houndpits
pub through
some really large open areas filled
with enemies that should be very hard to deal with if you were
not just sprinting through them at 100mph.
That was fast.
That was great.
Hawk in general has had like really clean movement for most of this run, it's been...
This game goes by really fast and it might be hard to appreciate some of the nuances. We haven't even talked about several
of the movement mechanics that he's doing
There is so much mechanics
I just, I cannot
start explaining how many hours are here
But there's leaning, there's vaults,
there's so many things that you have to learn
to get to a high level
but that also means when you're starting out
this game is very beginner friendly
and then you can just add on more mechanics as you go.
This category in particular is very beginner friendly because it's very straightforward
in what your targets and objectives are, and you don't have to deal with them
or advance, but if you get into this game you might enjoy it
later on so now we are in the hound pits pub this is the only time this is an actual mission this
is the loyalist mission the mission here is to get information on where Emily is and call Samuel onto, uh...
To come get you.
So he just pulled a lever there that shoots a flare
Samuel lives on his way now
so he now runs into this room
reads the note that tells him where Emily is so Sam knows where to go.
And then he just has to meet Sam. Right here there's a trick
That is actually intended for once, where Sam will ride his boat past you
and so it'll be too far away from him to be in the cutscene
And that way you can skip some dialogue with Sam
That's just how they made the game work and that's just how they made the game work,
and that's intended.
To me at least.
Yeah you would do so many...
You'd actually glitch 90%.
That's way too far. so many you would do actual litchi 90 that's waking start
i remember hearing they had so coming up is the last mission of the run
we have time for one more donation absolutely you got it!
I have $25 from Captain Snuggles, can't wait for Mass Effect, my daughter and I are waiting to enjoy it together.
Here's to getting all the crew back safely so they can meet again in Mass Effect 3.
The search for more donations we're at 11112 out of 30 thousand thank you so much for adding
to that!
So after this cutscene right here is the last screen of the game.
It has
Falk running up to Emily,
picking up a key and then
this is like some pretty tight movement. Some guards
can get in the way here if you're too slow, so you just have to
really book it and as long as you don't mess up, it shouldn't be
an issue. That's great. Good save.
I think that's a BB.
So here No, no. I think it's a BB. Well and go.
So here he is running over picking up a key and... time!
Nicely done.
Real-time whatever it was uh like 27 something uh it's for 7.32
uh in game time we'll remove to load move down right just to reiterate the time is higher with the out loads because of the speed up component yeah speeding up the cutscenes, overall that's a very cool run.
I really like it.
This category is somewhat new.
It became a thing only a year and a half ago
compared to established 10% local editors
and other stuff. Yeah yeah it's fun go play that if you like what
you see and the spirit.com very confined discursor blah all the stuff you do for other games
uh shout out to me twitch.tv f-o-k-e-r four all those socials you can find there at conspire.com etc uh i will leave all that
shout outs to lauren thank you just another shoutout to Dr. T Chops as well for creating the speedup component, so awesome. This game is in a really good spot right now.
Yeah it's very good. That'll be it from us, keep donating your money to MSF,
it's a very good cause and you do need to support it at tough times
and we must be able to help people who got in trouble. And also your money gives more games
to the, adds more games to schedule so more fun on Games that week and do that
and that's it for us
welcome to the Checkpoint here on Tuesday. I am Kizaran and I'm Kung Fu Fruit Cup,
And we cannot begin to describe the madness that is about to start. We going to talk about the kirby air ride championship match and what's that i think the challenger's actually approaching right now Ladies and gentlemen, the next one.
Coming in at 9'7", we have the Challenger Pair Strike.
I hear he's been practicing a ton, but I don't know if he is ready to take on
The reigning, defending Kirby Air Ride Champion
One David J!
Boobs
Use you
Faker
Boobs That's our David everyone Baker. Booth.
That's our David, everyone!
That's right!
You sound like a David fan.
I am a David fan!
That's a mistake!
I disagree with you.
I think Dave's going to continue
to be the reigning champ tomorrow.
You think so?
Yes, but you know,
I wonder who this evening
David is gonna be fighting for
before their official debut match from.
I'm reffing Mass Effect 2.
I'm so excited for that run.
That's right! What a great choice, we got that 80% New Game Plus coming up by Sanjan.
It is going to be incredible.
Sanjan is a wonderful runner who has done a lot of amazing things.
And we have our donation incentive for that going on right now too, where you can actually keep all the crew members alive if you want them to be faster I guess let
them die but i mean i-you'd be the monster not me. That's fair! I i agree i'm on board with
that i wonder is pairstrike going to be
representing uh myself what um
myself could be all right because i'm gonna win just leaving outer wilds in the I'm just, myself. Could be a ride. Because I'm going to win.
Just leaving Outer Wilds in the dust!
What are we going to do about this 100% base game
shipless run?
There's no ships!
We're going to have to check in with PT and Vince Byrne.
He was supposed to be joining
the brand new the upcoming like a dragon
guided faction
that's just running all over the company
right now that's, this is the man
who erased his name. Maybe
the name is gone. There's no name left! Wait, it's
Papiocan. Oh, okay. It's alright.
But what else do they have to say about
this match?
Well, camera on me. Camera on me, okay. What else do they have to say about this match? the champion. With the loser? The two-time loser.
No comments, please.
So I'm Parastrike. You know that.
That's fine. Aka,
God's Gift Gaming. Aka, MrGameCube.
And come tomorrow... The guy who bought me this belt by the way.
Can we cut his mic please?
So Paul comes in with a lot of anger
and aggression at the scene.
It's palpable!
The tension is palpable.
Well it's great, that confidence because last time
you all know watching at home
You know what happened?
SGQ 2019
You saw it
You saw check night
That shouldn't happen that should be impossible he was talking
about handle this raw skill they say he won i said check his controller because i think
it might have been a wave bird i don't think think he won, I don't think it was real,
I know it wasn't real and come tomorrow...
Wave birds are officially sanctioned
and they didn't even use one.
The cheating accusations
are already coming out this grudge match
five years in the making!
I agree,
i'm wondering what
Paul thinks is going to be benefiting
him in this race? Why he thinks he's going
to actually win this? What kind of tech is
happening? Skill.
Skill and... He's already ready to complain about everything.
He's gonna be at the screen, he's gonna
complain about his controller... No!
He's going to kick my console probably.
If my console shuts off... Maybe your console needs to get kicked?
Someone keep an eye on the camera. I don't know, no.
I wouldn't do that because I don't
do underhanded techniques.
I could beat you one-on-one
but I don't need tactics.
You can be me one-on-one huh?
Who's holding a belt?
We'll see tomorrow at 10am.
This is the most evil di diabolical stuff I've heard from David!
The well-known good guy of the company!
What is happening here?!
I don't know!
I think that David's gonna...
I think that is pure confidence right there. I think that David's gonna be- I think that is pure confidence right there.
I think that David is going to be keeping that belt
I think everything is going to go swimmingly
Look, I've been the reigning champion for five years
and it's staying that way
Nope, not tomorrow Tomorrow I'm gonna take it pick that belt from
hippy tippy california and i'm going to bring it back to a state with morals and integrity new
jersey new jersey this gold this gold is standing in the golden state that's going to be right
behind my other trophies and the trophies what are the trophies uh soccer
this is getting so probably beach volleyball
bocce ball
No they're first place
What? That doesn't make any sense.
He's fighting plumbers.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Okay, as long as they are not fighting for real,
it will be okay.
I am excited for what is coming up tomorrow morning!
It's my belt.
Did he just touch the morning. It's my belt.
Did you just touch the belt?
Wait, it's good.
Well, I don't have to take it.
That's fine.
Yeah, you don't get to take it actually.
I'll take it tomorrow.
Good luck.
Stop.
Give me the belt.
Oh my God! It's so funny! company! This is unheard of! Security's coming!
Danny, please come up here!
I didn't do anything...I didn't touch anything.
Okay, uh Okay. Yeah, security's on that. Hello! Welcome to
Summer Games Done Quick 2024. We had an incident over there. My name is
Bobby Blackwolf. I'm thrilled to be your host. Thank you so much to Nicole
Goodnight for getting us over
a third of the way there that no one left
behind for Mass Effect 2. That incentive
is still open. That is coming up
after Like A Dragon Gaiden the man who erased his name
that's all coming up next being run
by Tapioca, who we last saw at H-E-D-Q 2020 running Razor Freestyle Scooter.
And previously than that,
AGDQ 2018 running Zone of the Enders,
The second runner cannot wait for this.
You're going to see somebody in this that looks a lot like the
Dragon of Dojima, it is not. It's not the Dragon of Dojima
it's Joryu that we are gonna be seeing
But like I said, we are working on the no one left behind incentive for Mass Effect 2.
Which is right after this run to see either FemShep or Bro Shep
See if they're gonna to save all of their teammates.
Brochef enjoyers, you've got some work to do
if you want to see Brochef.
Very lopsided bid war, but the incentive.
We've raised over $11, dollars out of the thirty thousand dollars thanks to donations like this one from lucas numbers a 25 donation saying
save lives in mass effect by donating for the no one left behind
incentive, save lives and real life by
donating to Doctors Without Borders.
That's right, Doctors Without
Borders also does not want to leave
anybody behind and we are so proud
to be supporting them, and have all of this
benefiting them.
We have a $500 donation from Kedakat that says,
Donating to make sure that the Normandy crew Make it all out alive because Grunt is best boy.
If he dies, we riot.
Thank you so much for that
we have a 100 donation from dr Reverberating Owl saying,
hey y'all your friendly singing owl here.
Here's $25 for one of my favorite games Mass Effect 2
Fem Chef all the way and nobody gets left behind.
Huge thanks to the staff and tech crew that make this week so wonderful!
Trans rights...
There we go.
We have a $100 donation from Anonymous that says,
let's get that no one left behind FemShep run locked in.
Oh, and that whale plush, please.
That's right. We've got some prizes as well.
The Dishonored Whale Plush. $25 minimum donation might have already gotten past that, I think if you donate in like the next minute or two
You might be entered into that one. Because that one's closing pretty
soon.
We have a $50 donation from Gray that says, Mass Effect was one of my first RPG loves
when it originally came out in 2007 and I've loved it ever since.
We gotta save the crew Captain! so We want to thank our friends at Red Bull for sponsoring Summer Games Done Quick 2024.
Red Bull Energy Drink is appreciated worldwide by top athletes busy
professionals college students travelers on long journeys and speed runners check out their summer
edition with the taste of caruba rounded off with elderflower to give you wings on warm days.
Spam your favorite emotes in chat and send your thanks to Red Bull for their support
for helping keep everyone at GDQ hyped.
And now it is time for like a dragon Gaiden, the man who erased his name, Tafioka.
Show us how it's done!
Alright, okay. What's up everyone? It's finally time for Gaiden! I'm Kappyoka,
I am joined on the couch by Safecy and PN2 Trilogy maybe not in that order
yeah ok got it right
And I'm also joined by Bobby who always hosts these Yakuza runs
so he's of course more than welcome to butt in every now and again
Um, I believe Japanese won the bid war, right? For the language
Yes! right for the language? Yes, let me make sure of that.
But yes, Japanese had $578 and English had $294.
What does that mean for this run? Yeah, I was gonna say thanks chat you voted for the slow one
Japanese will lose about 15 seconds over the course of the round. There's a couple unskippable cutscenes
Anyway, I guess I'll just not delay this any further and we can start
the run so let us do it in three
two one go Dragon Go.
So this is like a dragon guide and came out last November, so that means it runs on the dragon, because it's a modern Yakuza game.
Yakuza fans are a bunch of dorks who like to organize these games by engine for some
reason. So you have like the PS2 games and then you have the old engine
And then you have this, the new engine. The main thing about the old engine, and then you have this, the new engine. And the main thing
about the dragon engine... Well, I'm going
to be complaining about it the entire run, but
the main thing about it that's important is
that all of the physics are really weird.
So everyone's going to be ragdolling all over the place for this entire
playthrough, and
judging from my practice run, I think these PCs
in particular are going to be completely insane.
That's going to lead to a bunch
of weird inconsistencies. We'll see how that goes.
This is not the guy I wanted to grab with that, but this setup looks incredible!
Check this out... Easy triple!
Man!
Getting them all to line up like that is very...
Yeah, that's uncommon.
Another useful feature of the Dragon Engine
All of the cutscenes can be skipped pretty much immediately
Any tiny bit of text, literally anything It is all skippable except for the stuff that isn't.
This brings the runtime of these games down from like six hours to an hour and a half so that's really appreciated
we don't have to watch those.
We just get to enjoy seeing Kiryu constantly spin around
on traffic cones, as it should be.
Pretty much. I'm sorry... Who?
Oh, I'm sorry! Secret Agent Joryu agent this is a work of jury you any reason to hear you
is purely coincidental all right so i got a torrent from that guy that's a heat restoring
item we're going to use that in a minute or two. Heat is an extremely important resource
It's the blue meter on top left of
The screen and we need to keep
That filled pretty much always because
In this game, Sega's answer
To balancing this was basically just yes.
They made everything extremely overpowered, but it all takes heat.
So we have a number of I win button type attacks that are all going to burn heat
and we're gonna have to manage it over the entire run.
Here's the first one, they're giving it to us already. This is extreme
heat. Agent's extreme heat in particular
is ridiculously good but
we're not going to use it on this fight, we're going to use it on the next
one.
Okay that one guy has a little bit more HP than the others agent Joe on so he usually takes a second hit like
that
skip this stuff.
One more, okay so here is the fight we are going to be using extreme heat. You'll see what I mean that this is an I win button.
It's not as good as the others but here we go.
Why am I doing this from the right side?
Yeah, that shouldn't have done it from the right side. Now I'm going to have to clean him up.
This is meant to be an AoE attack but it also
works great against like regular single
enemies as well. Let's see. Do I have a baseball
bat? I do have a baseball bat.
We want to finish this with a baseball bat because the strong attack will get us
a little bit of extra heat
and we need it for the next fight.
That's still really low though.
I did a lot more extreme heat there
than I really meant to.
You're also going to see the first level up in a second here which is also something that we were going to do throughout the run yeah levels in this
game use money for experience kind of like yakuza 0 if you've played that one so this
game is going to be absolutely showering us with money uh actually now that i think about it that
is stacy's way of reminding me that i didn't do the level up when I was supposed to.
Little nervous if you couldn't tell.
You got it!
Just trying to build heat off these guys, that guy dropped his bat
I might be coming back for that later focus the boss first though
nope okay he's too far double a double and the bats right here. Cool.
Finish these guys off. He does like a golf swing...
Oh! Okay thank you!
Agent Jawan is almost always useless in this fight.
The minions in this game are- our are going to do like nothing.
But every once in a while they'll step in like that
and save me a couple seconds.
That's it for the docs.
That was kind of a decent dock section.
Always love a good docks level.
No.
So now we're in Yijinqiu, this is the entire city
of Yijinqiu that's in this game
for all about five minutes
just to make the file size even bigger.
We're about to be introduced to random encounters.
Every Yakuza game does random encounters
a little bit differently and this game
because there's so many area triggers
we don't have to worry about them at all.
You see as I step in front of the store there
it cancels the random encounter and just starts a cutscene
Pretty much the entire game is done by
area trigger and those cancel encounters
So even though we're gonna to get a lot of them,
they don't actually matter
aside from like one or two places.
There's some more guys on the left.
They'll probably fight me
and I don't care.
They didn't even fight me, perfect. This is our introduction to being able
to grab stuff out of trees
It's a really important new mechanic
Give this back to this lady
The nourishment of the Sea King will be end of the chapter that's another heat restoring item
grabbing items from a distance is actually really important to their run
though like here's an item up here they just absolutely littered the city
with like all kinds of crap so there's a stamina and xx that we're gonna get to
use at some point buying the pure white briefs from this store and we're going to equip that
that's an attack raising piece of equipment it's not our final piece of equipment we're
going to be getting a ton more,
and we're gonna replace the briefs
with something much better later.
For this fight,
we're using the bench on the right.
The bench has a really good animation.
We're hoping that this gets everybody
and it almost got everybody That's better than my practice run so we're
going to take that had a legendarily bad bench in practice earlier today good ones
out on top of him good runs depend on a strong contribution from the bench thank you bench
yeah clap for the bench
all righty mysterious men these are the same Mysterious Men as the other
Mysterious Men we fought at the docks
and I am focusing mostly on
two guys that have tasers
though I'm also looking to see if I can get a good weapon drop
from someone.
I think we've got... This is the bat, I shouldn't have picked that up.
The bat is garbage, look at how long
that animation is.
Generally you want the pipe or wooden katana there, but you just kinda have to take what
you can get.
Overall that was actually pretty clean.
We're finally up to the first boss!
This is...what's his name?
It's a man in a suit!
Nobody has a name in this game. They're all just men and something.
Gonna grab this from over here, hit him once he should attack me now that's the
double okay and we get him twice he can't be damaged while he's doing his phase transition so
we're just going to time this carefully and if if I attack him right, which I did,
we can get the third one in here
and then this counter actually kills them.
Normally you wouldn't be able to fit attacks
in like that.
Leads to all kinds of jank after that counter doesn't actually kill him. Kiryu drops the baton and then it shatters, so it just gets really weird.
That was Man in a Suit, and this is Man in a Hanya Mask.
We will be seeing quite a lot of him. This guy is like the early game reset point.
Hit him once he should attack me... Okay okay he stopped there. yep yep yep there goes my cone
there goes my cone it's gonna break no it didn't break
that's just kind of unlucky choice of attacks by him we got the good one at
the end there though it's a really long windup he does and we can just smack him during the whole time.
Cones are the same as all of the other weapons that spin and its a really good animation that does a ton of damage.
Here is Man in a hannya mask again wearing a honey mask
still abandoned on your mask though it's just invisible trust me
i think that changed. Nope, nope, nope.
We've been
introduced to the Yakuza style now.
We're not actually going to use Yakuza style all
that much even though it's meant to be the one that does
more damage. I have failed to be a H that does more damage.
I have failed to be a Hanya mask respecter,
so we're gonna have to go get the other cone!
Literally everyone I tell myself
could just respect it and I never do.
Okay give me that back.
Ooh, it cancelled.
Am I going to get out of this without having to do...
Yes? This is interesting.
I'm gonna try something unusual here on the next fight.
This might be a horrible idea, try something unusual on the next fight.
Nothing like GDQs for trying out new new stuff in the middle of your runs.
What could possibly go wrong? Nothing.
So we're going to be running through the city for the next couple of minutes i'm
gonna grab another stamina in here and i'm also going to go ahead right now
and buy quick step strike which is a really useful ability for juggling
we're gonna get into some juggling tech later
but we're literally just going to be running down
this street for a little while so Bobby
if you've got any donations go right ahead.
I absolutely do.
We have raised over $13,500 out of the 30,000 needed
to leave no one behind.
So I wanted to remind everybody of that but hey
how about this? We got a $5,000
donation from Fangamer!
Hey everybody, Fangamer here.
We have this lovely donation thanks to everyone
shopping the Fangamer SGDQ
2024 collection where 100%
of the profits from sales of GDQ merch directly supports
MSF's humanitarian mission.
We'll be taking orders through
the end of the event. Check out
the full lineup at fangamer.com
slash gdq Thank you so much
for that. Also, Taff, I've got a donation
here for you. There's a $250
donation from
the Nintendo GameCube.
And hey, Taff, it's your friend, the Nintendo GameCube. Hey, Taff!
It's your friend the Nintendo GameCube.
Good luck!
Thanks, Nintendo GameCube!
What a reliable console, you know?
So I'm going to use extreme heat on this fight,
which you're not supposed to do.
I've never done this before and it might just be a bad idea but normally you don't have heat here because Shishido works
and since he didn't work that means I can do this.
You can just shred these losers...
...you too.
Yeah, I'm not even convinced that was faster.
That means we will not be using Extreme Heat on the next fight
which means I'll be punching those guys normally.
Tears some guys.
There's a lot of guys in this game.
A lot of guys. They've all erased
their names, this is just Agent A through D.
They're not guys in suits.
It's true. Not to be confused with the guys in suits.
These are different guys.
But but are they in a mask?
Yes.
OK.
Men in Hanya masks.
OK.
Uh, yeah, I have heat.
I can just go. Normally you would have to break furniture there to get heat.
Heat is regained when you damage enemies but it's also regained by damaging furniture
so sometimes depending on the situation you'd have to like smash up a room
to get your heat back before moving on
here we're hoping for group ups i got the slow motion that's why you don't usually
dodge you try to avoid that.
That looked pretty good though which is good because it means this fight is going to end
soon but bad because it means my heat is extremely low and we need full on this
so that's why i have a whole bunch of heat restoring items and we're just gonna
down them i think i'm going to take like a stamina xx here i think is the play
yep oh that's still not enough okay we're gonna get drunk so that's a bad idea but
we're going to get drunk in this run one two three 2, 3, 4, reset
that's another thing the quick step strike is good for
if you do more than four punches
with this then it
basically ruins everything so we don't want to
do it. So now it's six drunkenness and I've
lost all control here.
Here you can't run in a straight line. Normally
you don't wanna drink three sakes but my heat was
such a weird position that I just committed
doing it. I think a tour runnerner would have been a better idea,
just like a regular Torunner.
Here's the juggling tech.
You get him up with that
and then three-four interrupts
three-four dead. That was... Interrupt. Tree for dead...
Please, I'm gonna be fighting Kiryu for this entire set piece!
Kiryu deserves a bender as a treat.
Okay, whatever. We need a baton... Uh, here's one...
I need a torner oh okay wait
okay yeah that's that looked a little strange him opening the door Oh, it's different sounds.
This guy in English this guy makes the most incredible screams.
That's a weird thing to say but he does.
They're really artisanal screams you don't understand.
Kiryu please! I mean Choryu. i mean sure you
so we smuggled the baton from two fights to go into this fight this guy is a gigantic pain in the butt if we don't keep him locked down
so we're hoping to just lock him down the whole fight with
a baton, and then we'll do
extreme heat agent style to finish him off.
One,
and then swap. I think I did that
swap slow. He might get an attack here nope oh no i screwed
that up too close now he's getting an attack yep that's why you don't let him do this
oof ooh he's not even dead?
Yikes, alright well
whatever it's over now
I need another Toriner
I'm gonna blame the Drunkenness for that,
it's worn off now.
It becomes a problem at level six,
level five totally fine.
Very specific BAC.
Yeah!
This is the final boss of chapter one, it's Yoshimura.
We're going to try to hit him down to half HP
with Extreme Heat. He's gonna dodge all kinds of stuff
and also cure you loves to target the minions instead of him uh yeah that's good i think
yep that is good we're going gonna use that Nourishment of the
Sea King we got from the mom earlier.
I'm hoping to finish off...
Ah, this is a little weird.
Finish off Yoshimura there,
and then we have the rest of the second Extreme Heat
for taking care of the minions.
There you go.
And then we can just take care of him real quick too.
And that's Chapter 1!
Hell yeah! and that's chapter one hell yeah
real sloppy chapter one but you know i'm getting warmed up. We'll fix it.
Chapter 2 is about half the game, I don't know why they paste it this way but this is
about half of the game and we're going to be doing a lot of things.
Visiting a lot of classic Yakuza staples
Such as? As a coliseum, and another coliseum
Yeah fair. and a castle what could those mean skip that cutscene you don't even get
to see so we get the gold plate and we're going gonna sell this right away this entire city is
littered with plates we're going gonna be in Sotenbori for
most of the rest of the game by the way, this is
Sotenbori
We sell this plate right away
and I'm going to buy
the Fandoshi and the Hariti's amulet. The
fundoshi we're going to equip right away,
and we're also going to go ahead
and buy another attack level up but
we're never gonna equip the Hariri's
Amulet. The only reason why I bought that
is because it's
gonna get us some Akame network points in a little bit and I will explain what
that means when it is time but it's really important
that we bought that item that were never never actually going to use, trust me.
Is this guy? Okay.
We are taxiing two up. I'm probably just
going to be narrating the taxi menus this entire
playthrough by the way. I apologize in advance
if I don't do it, I'll get to the taxi menu
and be like, what do I do here? And I'll freeze up
for a full second. I don't want to do that.
Thugs.
Safety was judging me for using this cone
earlier today. I swear it's a better cone! See what I mean?
Look at that, that is the most insane fight
I have ever had there.
That grouping was so crazy,
It's the power of the farcone.
And I'm still in agent style too which is perfect because you need that
for the next fight. Style swaps take time so ideally we want to route it so
that we never do them but sometimes you have to because of like cleanup stuff
man it's weird hearing this in japanese even though like it's better
but we missed out on those really good screens.
We did, we missed some of my favorite lines in the game. Shoutouts to Enzen
Shoutout to the guy
Okita? Yeah this is three down.
Yeah, Okita in the chapter two set piece.
We're going to make use of the rope mechanic here.
We did it once at a tutorial way back at the start of the
Run. Generally speaking, even though
All pre-release material for this game was obsessed with how
You can rope people and throw them around, it is a garbage
Move we don't do that but going to do it right here because
it might allow me to group these two guys.
This is gonna work. Yep, there you go.
Get a weird hit on Maruyama.
I'm actually gonna rope
this guy as well because he is a...
Oh, no.
He went down to the ground so I can't rope him.
Thanks, Oka.
Yeah, just get out of here.
And I swapped two Yakuza but we're okay
because the next fight requires it.
You really didn't want to get roped?
Nope. Two up... up.
We're going up here for the next one this is, we are doing like
some kind of crap around town.
This is all tutorial, this entire chapter's tutorial,
this entire game is tutorial.
It's all tutorial also I forgot this fight existed
we have to swap back.
Aiming mostly for the boss here as usual hopefully if you're very lucky you can take out
all of the minions uh no Not even close.
Barely even got the boss there in the end.
That was kind of a cool finisher right?
That run and punch really does the job sometimes. Yeah, it's the quick steps to right?
Right, right.
So now they're telling me about the Akame network.
The thing about this game is that it has some kind of scoring mechanic in it,
where you have to go around town helping people out and they give you points for it
and then the points level up the network. Right now
they're asking me to get to level 3 to continue
the game, and in chapter 3
they're going to ask me to get to level 10
so you can see in the top right corner we just
gotta level up and then this will get me another one
this is handing in the bento and the sake which I bought back in each show by
the way so now we're network level 3 we can keep going that's the fastest way to
take care of that I'll be doing all kinds of things around town,
it all kind of lines up
to get us to level 10
at the exact perfect time
but we're also going to have
to do a number of sub-stories.
Everyone yelling at us?
Yeah, that was a weird encounter spawn. That was kind of close by. They nearly got me
which would have been bad because this is not an area trigger
they get you, they get you.
This is a tutorial about sub stories! We have to visit the club to get 100 thousand yen.
It pays really good just going to the club.
That sounds pretty normal that's not a scam.
Not a scam at all. They promised they'll give me the 100k so you come in
here we see this and as soon as you
see the feet you can quit and leave.
Quentin Tarantino is soino's i swear this is required what are you sure
this is i swear this isn't required
we reached over 50 of the no one left behind.
Incentive.
Awesome, nice, nice.
Running all the way back around the corner to report this to akame they're going to give us a
faster way of getting back here later those are some healing items that do literally nothing and
there's our 100k we're gonna take another substory immediately.
This is not required strictly, but we do need to do it
to get to level 10 later and also the money from this
is going fuel our level up ambitions later
so you can immediately taxi right back outside.
Hit this cutscene,
before I go to the next cutscene, I'm going to get two locker keys.
Uh... This locker key on the right
which is a Stamina and Spark. Really good
heat restoring item. And this
locker key up the stairs on the left by
Foreshine which is the Bloody Binding. The foreshine which is the bloody binding
The Bloody Binding is the first permanent piece of equipment that we're gonna get
It is really, really good.
it boosts your attack like crazy but it totally tanks your defense
so by the end of this we're going to have three pieces
of gear that are all doing that and
oh whoops okay I'm getting mixed up
Some of the bosses at
the end of the game can almost one-shot you.
They CAN one shot you!
Carry that, there's another platinum plate up here.
All these plates are going to get sold for money.
This is five down.
Okay. Yeah, bad skip. Bad menus today in general. That's that. 300,000 yen for watching three cut scenes.
Thank you.
This is three down.
We're now going to open up those lockers so going to get the spark and bloody binding.
Do this, I'm actually going to use the mouse to get the bloody binding because it's over
here.
Oh that mouse acceleration is crazy.
I was not ready for that, okay so we are going to boost attack level 4
Boost max heat gauge and we're going to eclipse the buddy binding
I'm gonna do something a bit tricky here,
which is why I went into first person.
I'm gonna take this really slow and we can just grab that
right before hitting this cutscene.
You can see how close that trigger is.
There's a really tiny amount of space where you can fit between the trigger and key to get that.
This is Mizorogi, we're going to have to run back to his shop like a bajillion times.
This is a tutorial about using drones. We are never going to do this mechanic because it sucks.
I'm just gonna make the drones for the tutorial and now I'm gonna beat him with this sign.
I did do the level up, and I did equip the gear so he will die in three hits. Screwed that up
in practice earlier.
A sign that things are going well. You love it!
Yep, that's improvement. That's tangible improvement.
Grab this locker from up there and now the game is about to give us its most powerful weapon.
Arguably the most powerful weapon in the entire series
this is up there with
muscle soda from Kiwami 2
or brass knuckles from the OGs
or the scroll wheel from Yakuza 6
it's the most OP stuff in the series this is
a cigarette a literal cigarette we're not going to
use this right now but this thing is completely insane
and you will see why later i'm screwing up that menu this is
why i have to say the taxi menus to myself otherwise i do that
it's five down we're taking a bit of a detour here to sell all of the plates
i've been picking up.
We need
the money this badly that it's actually worth
it to come all the way out here right now
instead of during a more convenient time also there is no more
convenient times so we just have to do it now starting in chapter three they actually put an
encounter just guys standing in front of that store and you can't go in anymore unless you fight them.
Back on the main path though, it is time
to go to the castle.
... to the castle
what is what is waiting for us in the castle look at they possibly have put it here a castle that
that jory is going to a big castle on a boat
this series loves boats can i say pnc recently played yakuza 6 so now he understands the fascination yakuza six a very good game uh
much better than than yakuza 5. no without some correct series tapes no serious taste oh you know yeah
you're in the minority here you have to be quiet no I think you have to probably
donate to get your yakuza opinions heard and my opinion you know so just they
want us to put it out there i did that wrong hold
up hold up fundoshi we can share the truth about yakuza 5. i know the donations will
agree with me five is good but i just did all kinds of stuff there while we were talking about something else
um i bought a really good piece of equipment i bought the bloody chain mail or it's called
the gruesome chainmail actually and i equipped a actually. And I equipped a bunch of stuff.
I upgraded a bunch of stuff.
Basically my attack is now insane.
Sorry, Wattastation Man Man we tanked that- oh my ffff...
Okay nevermind fight has gone off the rails! What was that dude?
Has that happened before? No.
I'm not saying it. It's on the screen, we know.
It's never happened before.
Yeah!
That's supposed to be the easy of the three fights as well.
This is the hardest of the three, this is the Kazumikiryu-esque man.
We would be skipping this cutscene except you all voted for japanese so now we
have to watch it hold on to your umbrellas folks Which to that, I'm gonna get this and that.
That should hopefully be enough heat. It's still a little low because of the shenanigans
but this should be enough to get him where we need him
and do the heat action.
Okay, good he didn't dodge it.
Sometimes you can actually just like spot dodge that
and its really annoying.
We're gonna respect him and let him do his counter.
Oh my god, okay yes that almost didn't work That counter, the timing on that is
incredibly wonky compared to all the others
And three, it is Ryuji Gota question mark.
We can just run right up to him and juggle him.
He's alive?
No I can't, no I can't.
Please, Nope.
I screwed up the timing on that.
This one's on me.
Watase is not on me and this one's on me.
That's phase 1 he's going to dump us down with the tigers now.
The game is gonna give us a sword here and we are gonna try
to get double hits on the tigers with the sword but
depending on how they move...
The tiger hitboxes are incredibly weird
A little bit less weird in this game
than they are
in like OG2
or something
but still really
weird.
How could Ryuji
do this to me?
Hey, at least he's alive.
Dead Souls is canon confirmed.
Yeah, dead souls confirmed canon.
I believe it's canon.
I don't care what Sega says.
So let's try it okay good there's our double yeah you can even hit the dead tiger and we do that on purpose to restore heat so this should be
plenty for what no probably going to be low actually coming out of this fight we're gonna
keep action this guy immediately because if we delay it then he'll go into his counter
which means that his counter won't come out here
and we need his counter to come out here
cause its fast.
And goodbye.
That was the first Colosseum section, uh...
Man what a mess!
We'll be back here later for even more Colosseum gaming.
We have less than $14,000 left for the No One Left Behind incentive. Hell yeah! If you want to read some donations by the way now is a great time.
Absolutely we have a $20 donation from Muso for hire that says,
Kiryu, I mean Joryu leaves no one behind.
So Shepard shouldn't either.
We also have a $50 donation from Erendis that says always love seeing Yakuza runs at GDQ.
Good luck with the run, Tapioca. And here's
hoping the Fireflies cooperate.
Yeah, you're so banged. Thanks, Erendis.
We have a $50 donation from Gizmo
Squiddlebug that says GizmoSquiddleBug that says, Gizmo the
SquiggleDog donates $50
to keeping Kira... I mean, Joryu-chan
safe. P.S., this totally isn't
Makakun.
And we have a $50 donation from Giga that says,
Is it a coincidence that the coolest Sega characters
have rocket shoes?
Of course it isn't.
Let's go, Tapioca!
And a $15 donation from Konoraikan that says,
Love the Yakuza games for the silly approach to serious storytelling.
Question though, what's the string the character uses
to grab things with?
Fishing line, I don't know.
Really strong fishing line.
Yeah, canonically it's like a super fine
wire that's in
a watch. Oh by the way bam behold the power of the cigarette what wow
that's i am not exaggerating when i say that this thing is ridiculous wait a minute
am i gonna be able to see that again yes you could say that going to be able to see that again?
Yes, you could say that you will be able
to see that again.
So that's our main strat
whenever there is more
than one guy on screen.
The cigarette
it'll blow up everyone
and then
It costs heat but because of some weird quirks we can also have
it refund all of its heat so we can just use it infinitely. We're in the chapter two main set
piece now there are four subes in here and all of them
basically get taken care of the same way, two strong attacks with weapons followed by
heat action ideally with the same weapon. Another unskippable one because
they're playing in Japanese.
These guys are getting tabled.
Hopefully, yeah there we go, drop it.
And smuggle the umbrella stand into the next fight because it's slightly faster to do this for fighting yao than to grab the trash can on the right so the trash can on the right is
technically slightly better i think because it has more reach they're the same weapon overall though.
Yao is almost always going to dodge this third one.
Oh, no!
Okay, cool, cool, cool. The grab is what you want
to see because it just goes through you like that and we are
going to VE our Spectre.
Just let him get up.
Let them do the counter.
Goodbye.
Every once in a while he'll do something different and you could play it a bit faster, but no. Just respect him.
In case you did miss it the first time. Here's another.
The refund is coming from the fact that we swap styles,
and then that allows us to get out of extreme heat where normally
you wouldn't be able to.
So by the time the explosion happens,
we're out of it and all the damage is just used for heat regen.
Hopefully don't interrupt me. Thank you! Cool, Kubota can be a bit tricky sometimes.
This is usually... if anyone's gonna go wrong it's like usually this guy.
Now that I've said that the next next one is gonna just be awful to me
We're smuggling in another umbrella stand
None of these have umbrellas in them
Kinda have to wonder what all these stands are
doing in this building.
This guy is my favorite line in the whole game, I can't believe you people voted Japanese!
It's such a good delivery.
Got him, okay nice and easy all the bosses cooperated great today
They saw how bad that coliseum was and they're just trying to spare me.
I can't believe you tried to bring a gun into an Umbrella Rack fight.
What fight do we have today? Oh, it's Umbrella Rack! Okay.
Gonna grab that...I need heat for the next fight so we have this Seaking right here
made from real life Seakings and now we're at the main boss. This is Seruno, this is the last time we are fighting him before he just miraculously becomes our friend
This whole thing is a desperate bid by him to become my friend
I'm not even joking that's the plot of this game
he kidnaps hanawa and is like torturing him because
he wants to be your friend so badly
it's all just how he expresses himself.
So we're gonna try to throw a cigarette
against the wall right behind us at the start,
depending on angle and timing and stuff
this could go horribly wrong
but I have a really small window for canceling out of this
in keeping the
heat some other runners don't bother cancelling
out but i do it because i'm weird yeah that guy has
a really strong brand
this should work. Uh, yes perfect! We have a survivor
which isn't great but we'll take it. The survivor will surely... yeah there you go
Just sometimes you get survivors in fights
where the cigarette just won't kill them for some
reason and when that happens
sometimes they'll just stand there next to the boss
and that's nice of them when they do it
For phase 2 of Seruno we going to try doing something a bit tricky
he's almost always going to do the counter
I said always in practice this afternoon
and then of course he didn't do it, so I'm going to say
almost always but we want him to do his counter
right away and we're going to hopefully get him to 1
HP before he does the counter so that the counter itself will kill him.
And this requires a bit of timing...
3, 4 dodge, got him.
Really good set piece.
That actually is like... that's very clean.
That was really good.
Hey PMC. Hey Bob. was really good hey pmc we have a 50 donation from anonymous that says yakus of five is peak
it's pk it's literally peak you had to be there dude dude. It's so good. Peak what? It's peak! And hey, $25 donation
from Broseph that says PMC woke up
and chose Chaos. Yakuza 5
is objectively good. Yakuza 3 on the
other hand... Okay hang on a second good luck you lost me with the end there
this is pocket circuit i'm not doing this.
You're not doing pocket circuit?
What?!
Nope, nope, nope, nope.
But that's so fast!
No, no, no.
And we have a $50 donation from anonymous who says
Call me crazy but I think this Joryu guy
might be Taichi Suzuki.
That's just a taxi driver.
Yeah.
What would he be doing here?
You got time for like one or two more. Keep going.
Oh good! So let's see here...
We have a $20 donation from TetsuAmon that says,
Donating to this incredible run of one of my favorite series.
Been looking forward to this all as GDQ.
Let's go Tapioca!
And we have a $50 donation from
Ty Friday that says, hey Tap
awesome run!
And a $25 donation from Anonymous that says
I see like a dragon? I donate.
We have less than
$13000 to go to leave no
one behind in the very next run for Mass Effect 2.
So please, when you put in your amount be sure to select that incentive
so we can leave nobody behind because as this $250 donation says
from Doctor Who saying, justice wants everybody lives.
All right well so during that Mizorogi trip he gave us rocket boots which probably has some use in a speed
run just maybe and we also went ahead and bought the bloody ring which is our final
piece of equipment.
So with that, our defense is now negative 3,000
but our attack is up around minus 2,700
so I'd say that's worth it.
That's a little bit of a spread, yeah.
Yeah there's no context for those at all.
There is no unit on that but trust me
minus 3000 means Shishido
will kill you in one hit at the end of the run
so just don't get hit by him
forehead. Easy, simple.
Be careful with this menu because if you quit out too quickly the game crashes.
You gotta wait for Kiri to appear on the right side and then you're good to go.
This is a really nice store, by the way,
because we can refill our torners for the rest of the run so that's all the items we're gonna have to work with hopefully things won't
be too catastrophically bad and we won't even come close to using all of that
we're back for Colosseum round two though. Every other Yakuza game has a coliseum section, so with this one they asked what if again...
What if we had to... Here's Colosseum Fighter. Pocket Circuit
Fighters, long lost brother.
How come LADGuyden
gets two Colosseums?
Bam, bam.
Is that gonna work? Yeah, okay good. That was a little sketchy.
Because Hammerhead has two HP bars we do the 2HP bar juggle to him
With all of our upgrades and stuff that is exactly enough damage
that those attacks will kill 2hp bars so we'll be doing that to a bunch of people because there's
a lot of people in this game who do have exactly two HP bars.
Juggling him and then also going,
what's this guy's name?
I don't know.
Who are you again? I don't even know you.
And the reason there's two Colosseums
is because they erased
the name of the first one
and forgot that they had done it.
That makes sense.
Many names are erased
in the making of this game.
Yeah, I'm not even going to try
to get that skip. Just get me out of here.
This game does have a really weird coliseum system though
That's kind of what they're introducing here
This is all just a giant extended tutorial uh there's all kinds of numbers
there's all kinds of systems we're going to be ignoring all of that and just cigaretteting
and praying so we'll see how this goes this is green green pants, guys. These are the worst guys in Chapter 2.
Hopefully the spread will be decent here.
We're always gonna need a second cigarette
but hopefully after the first,
the spread is decent... No it's garbage!
So this is going to take a while to clean up
then I can already tell
a lot of people are going to survive this.
Yeah there's still five standing
I'm going to want to take really extra careful
to make sure that I have enough heat
leaving this fight as well.
Okay,
I'm just going to get out of heat mode now.
Why is my own ninjajas throwing stuff what does he do it wasn't even yeah okay can you please finish
him off no yep to 220 that's really not good.
Oh with friends like that?
Yeah my friends you could see the guy
with a sledgehammer on the right
just doing literally nothing
he was just standing there watching
That's the first thing though. We could leave now, but because they're going to ask us for Colosseum Gold Rank Shoutouts to Voidus by the way, I forgot to turn that DLC off
Because they are going to tell us
for Colosseum gold rank
in the next split,
um...
I have to do
two extra fights
right now
while we're here.
So hopefully these
will be nice and quick
and everyone
will just die.
Uh, not even close close i'm short damage or something
why did those guys still have one hp did you equip them
i think he did i did equip the ring, um...
I'm gonna double check my equipment after like right now
I'm pretty sure I've done something wrong cause that should have been good
Yeah, that's what I thought happened.
I did all the equipment in the wrong order
cause I was nervous and I did it wrong
so short damage there
otherwise that would've been really good
That means we have no heat for this, yeah. Things are falling apart
here.
I gotta get out of here. You can't use items
during these fights so I have to leave
to use this item.
Okay, maybe now I can actually do it You can finally take a breather
There we go
They definitely breathed that one There we go. Okay.
They definitely braved that one here. That's what should have happened the first time.
Those cigarettes were made in a factory,
a bomb factory. They're bombs.
They're bombs.
Alright, we're out of here. Coliseum
done for good now. There's all kinds
well basically it's done
for good. Dan Brody doesn't count he's just some weirdo in the lobby right
now our fastest way of leaving here is actually back through the store we're gonna get fast travel
in the castle later but right now they don't give it to you for some reason.
So we just got to walk all the way back out.
We have a $50 donation from anonymous that says
another Yakuza 5 lover here let's go tap thank you we
have just under 12 000 left to leave no one behind in mass effect it's getting there one last trip to mizuroki and then we'll be heading
for the last fight i mean if you have the time to play
yakuza 5 i guess you have the time to play Yakuza 5, I guess you have the time to bother me about it.
He's not even going to give us anything this time we're literally just here to tell him how much fun the coliseum is and then leave again
and they don't let us taxi right away so we gotta walk out of here first.
Get that,
so this is taxi four down and this taxi should
get us, yep, madcap taxi
which sort of just works out nicely that way.
That's a bunch of Akame network points.
Before we finish this chapter I'm gonna go ahead
and upgrade heat gauge again so we now have three Heat Bars.
We're going to get a fourth one soon too that just means that we're
going to be able to do things like extreme heat for longer and
sort of have more leeway with cigarette throws and stuff like that
right through this door, right through these cutscenes. Imagine if you could watch all of this crap.
So here's the last fight! It is Hanawa and Yoshimura again.
Yoshimura behaving exactly the same as he does before.
Hopefully, Hanawa doesn't throw a smoke grenade. He did it!
He did it. I'm just gonna block that.
Yeah we have a bunch of survivors too which is a little bit weird okay you should go
Here yeah, okay good
I was afraid that was gonna hit one of the minions instead of him
This is not the right heat action, by the way.
That's a weird thing to do.
Finish the minions.
The idea here is that once they get to half HP, then you can't kill them
or like they stop taking damage but they'll still take
damage to heat actions so you get him to half and then you
finish him with the heat action even with the smoke grenade that was
actually still kind of okay smoke grenades he can throw one and if it stuns you then he
could throw a second one and then that's done to you because they're already
stunned from the first one and then you can just sit there and you can just do
that for like 30 seconds it's really bad
yeah if we've learned anything so far in this game it's that smoking kills
thank you pmc sure would be you would be hearing Kiryu saying that over and over again in this run except it's in Japanese
so thanks for putting it in Japanese genuinely.
He spared us from the smoking kills.
I mean, I guess he didn't no yeah it's
no one is spared it was impossible to avoid
now is when they're going to ask me for both a kame rank 10 and coliseum gold rank so we already have colosseum gold rank that's why
we did those two extra fights a couple minutes ago but we don't have a common network level
ten so they just unlocked a whole bunch of sub stories and we are going to do those
So you have seeking advice. That's the first one
Well, it's just a bunch of sub story so the most important one is
The golden samurai the Golden Samurai.
The Golden Samurai can spawn in any random place around Kamurocho, or Sotenbori.
If he was in Kamurocho that would be really bad!
Not going there!
I'm gonna do mouse strats for this team Actually no, not this mouse is weird
I'm just gonna do this with Moe
And this is relevant we have a $5 donation
from the Master DS saying
It took me 90 minutes to get to level 10 in the community rank thing
so I'm very curious how you do the whole
game in that same time.
Pay attention, TheMasterDS.
Yeah, we're about to... The answer is
a bunch of sub-stories. He did not spawn in here, that's the
first place we could have seen the Golden Samurai.
Right now we're just praying that he spawns
in at some point. He could just not
spawn in and then we would have to go
teleport around the city until we find him.
I mean, I've probably just spoken it into existence haven't I?
But I really hope that doesn't happen!
There's this... Right now we're doing Strongest Convenience Store Clerk, which is a sub-story to recruit this guy to our Colosseum team that we are never going to use.
Since he has two HP bars, we can just do the full juggle to him just like we did Hammerhead before.
He's just taking
a nap in the corner. It's fine.
Steps to that guy. Dorito emotes in chat.
Yeah,
a few Doritos were harmed in the making
of that. The chip bags just flying everywhere
yeah
Alright, four up this is Recruit
Homeless Yamanaka after this
this is another place where we could see Golden Samurai.
This is like the jankiest fight in the run. It's really short but he's probably gonna do the thing.
Probably going to hit me with the teleports behind you. Nothing personnel kid.
Okay, no he didn't! He didn't do it in practice either. The GDQ PCs are magical.
This dude... something about his pipe and the way it interacts in that corner.
He'll just teleport around.
He'll just break out mid-combo
and he's just behind you now.
He's got that raging demon.
Please be there.
Yes, he's right in front of me. Okay perfect.
So here is the golden samurai. This is a decent-ish spawn
I will totally take this
Hello by the way we have to get this upgrade
That can happen kind of at any time. I'm gonna juggle...
Yeah, that was stupid of me. I shouldn't have tried that.
The timing for juggling Golden Samurai is like different or something,
I swear it never works but if you do get it to work then it's pretty fast.
Must be
finishing him off the slow way. This is
meant to be an AoE attack but it's still your
best DPS against single targets. It's
completely ridiculous.
So that's him taken care of at least he spawned in
all right taxi five next sub story and final sub story i guess actually is the chat GPT-1. This guy's taking advice from AI and it gives him all of the worst
advice! It's constantly telling him to put himself into mortal danger.
Let's see... into mortal danger.
What's that? Two down...
So we'll stop him here from jumping off a bridge, cause the AIs told him it would impress his
girlfriend.
This is one of the places in the run where you can get owned by an encounter, by the way, running to this next fight.
It's really annoying. They put taxi places across
the entire city except for right here
in the middle of the street, so we always
have to walk here.
This is good though, no spawn at all.
I haven't had a spawn here in a long time. I think it might
actually just not even be possible this guy sure enough
two hp bars so you know the drill at this point why am i in that style all right golden samurai
oh he uh yeah bad timing still got him though so God and somehow in the same number of punches that's that and then final step is three down because we are going to go beat up the
guy himself.
And after this will be ranked 10.
We'll continue the game, this stuff alone wouldn't get us
to rank 10 but when you add in all of the other little things that have been popping
over the course of the run uh it all just kind of adds up and you just barely reach rank ten
hopefully i've broken enough furniture.
I feel like I haven't broken
enough furniture this run.
If it's anything,
it's going to be that.
Also get roped.
Wow.
That guy is the weakest enemy in the game, literally one HP.
Was that the chat CBT guy?
Yeah, it's like they have an opinion.
Loud and clear we understand.
Opening the map okay. They, uh... loud and clear. We understand.
Oh, we're opening the map. Okay. I'm sorry, safety!
It's fine.
Usually I have that unbounded.
We were talking about it before.
Okay, cool! So we're good to continue the game!
We're gonna get a whole bunch of stuff and there's going to be one of these like
Yakuza 7 drink link type things
going on here and this is just sit through these lines so if you want to read a donation do like
two all right well we have a 10 donation from 12inchyoda that says
Hot take! Yakuza 0 is better than Yakuza 5. Possibly the best yakuza game of all time
but I might just be saying that because I've only ever played Yakuza 0
And then we have a $5 donation from
Comrade Mick that says,
PMC is right?
Yakuza 6 is better than 5, but the truth
is that Yakuza 4 is better than both of them.
PMC is never right. It's something you want to hang out with
him for a long time i agree with that no i'm on board at that four is excellent four trash and
we have less than ten thousand dollars left to leave no one behind let's go
all righty final big menu there we got a whole bunch of other stuff we got a heat
bar upgrade and we got a really really good heat stuff. We've got a heat bar upgrade,
and we got a really good heat action
that we're gonna be using against bosses from now on
so you'll see that in a little bit.
The final I win button has been unlocked.
We are already in agent style
so I don't have to swap.
The starting angle on this fight is so janky dude, like this can still usually work but look at where he's throwing that cigarette
Nah it didn't work at all
I'm like yeah this usually works and then nope.
Nope. We have a five dollar donation from WeGoJack that says
Surgeon General's warning smoking is addictive and hazardous to your health. Smoking can cause lung cancer
emphysema and explosions.
Live healthy don't smoke.
I was just about to say they saw the Surgeon General's warning.
Yeah that's how those guys dodged it dude.
Damn!
Alrighty so that means this is the start of the third set piece. The reason why I'm not using rocket boots right now
is because they don't let you do it.
This whole set piece is technically programmed in as a series of different individual fights.
So when we're not fighting someone,
we're not considered in combat
so it won't let us do it.
This is not a swap?
Yeah good thank you Ito get out of here.
Usually when you throw a cigarette, you want to immediately swap off it and get the cancel so that
you can get your heat refunded but in some situations you don't actually need the heat refund
And that's one of those places so it's a little bit faster to not do
swap these guys get disrespected incredibly hard by the way look at this see ya what
oh my god going over oh no look at that movement attack right there it's good
friendly reminder as you watch this cutscene that
cosmic curio has never killed anyone, but Agent Joryu most certainly has.
This is also a very grounded crime
drama.
He's fine. They're all fine now.
Agent Joryu really operates on the slippery slope.
I mean Ryan has a $25 donation that says if it looks like a Kiryu sounds like a Kiryu and fights
like a Kiryu then it must be a Joryu, obviously
Obviously
Okay, not a skip
We're gonna boost into these dudes too
The amount of damage you get from the boost is actually
Kinda random. Wow, we got to kill again that's good
the guy on the right usually survives that it kind
of depends with like the angle you hit him at
i guess they've just been getting good angles recently This is going to look a little bit weird. The start of the animation
is faster than the end of the animation, so I'm constantly resetting it
So Kiryu just kind of does this weird shuffle. He's really
gotta go to the bathroom. You don't
understand.
It's
real bad.
There you go, that's the one shuffle in the entire game.
They just really had to get that mechanic in.
These guys get barreled, please stick together...
What are YOU doing? Okay!
As soon as I say please stick together he's like
oh you mean drop kick?
Perfect.
Trying to not bounce off the walls here.
The shuffle...
The reset is not faster on this beam
if you do it on this beam Kirgi just does
THIS. Which also looks weird but it's slow.
He's doing the virtual insanity slide across the beam.
Gonna try to reset here so- ah, that was weird.
It was not very fast. If you run off that ledge you get like a
really long rollout animation that we're trying to avoid alrighty Alright. Boosting and then, oh okay yeah sometimes that happens.
That guy's pipe can block the boost.
That was a really really weird angle so I'm glad that
worked.
That always... Well we're hoping for that
to get everyone except Fukunaga. This guy is
too much HP so he always lives.
If he does the counter, I'm going to have
to respect it.
He didn't do it.
Good.
Thank you.
Nah, no claps.
That was Garbo.
We love clapping
for a good cigarette though.
You know? A good cigarette. you know that's a good cigarette
that's worth your life not my game play and we are clapping
that we are less than 9 500 away from not leaving anyone behind in mass effect
too we're getting there dude
that's being held by this 50 donation from space kacha that says no one left behind
we also have a $50
donation from Sailor Soapbox that says,
is there an incentive to get Sega to have Kiryu and Majima
finally smooch already? No?
I guess no one... I guess no one left behind will do that's right be
sure to select the no one left behind incentive we are getting close to mass effect too we need
to get that met. That's not meant
to be a swap, but whatever.
That almost always works. That one is pretty common.
Alright final fight before the boss.
This is yet another cigarette.
They really do just give you this cigarette and it's like, all right.
And we've now also designed every fight in the game
to be extremely cigarette-able.
I mean, at least they gave you this jaw dropping cutscene.
Thank you!
I appreciated that.
Cigarette and pray, these guys spread really far Yeah
You can kinda tell it's going to work when the cigarette hits
the ground instead of hitting someone's face, that's
like always a bad sign
Please don't counter, thank you
Yeah they have too much HP
I can't even just boost into them. Alright that wasn't
that bad for clean up. So we are now doing the boss this is going to be Nishitani first
fight against him finally. Nishitani III no relation to relation to the Akiza Zero guy basically.
I mentioned at the start of this headpiece that we had gotten a really good heat action
and we're going to be using that
You'll see what i mean
So Nishitami has four hp bars
and uh now he is too just like that they this is the true eye win button because
i'm not even pressing anything a little bit ridiculous that they put
this in the game at all
pmc was saying earlier that he felt That this boss looked like a sandwich
I didn't understand that and I still don't
I said he looked like a moldy sandwich
He looks like a moldy sandwich
Do you see the resemblance?
And he's got just awful looking turkey
The shirt,
it's not appetizing.
It's a bad fit but I don't see the sandwich resemblance.
What kind of mold?
Bad mold! Not mold I'm eating!
As opposed to the mold you are
eating? No!
And one more
for good measure. Hey, goodbye Nishitani.
This is what we're going to be doing to Nishitani
every single time by the way.
No respect.
He's just taking a nap. His neck looks uncomfortable there.
No, he's fine. It's gonna wake up really stiff.
But at least you won't be left behind. We have less than nine thousand dollars left to get the no one
left behind incentive keep it going so we're in chapter four now. This is the one that I affectionately call RNG hell.
The rest of the game is already kind of RNG hell, but this is truly RNG hell.
Every fight is just going to be
well, you'll see.
It doesn't sound very affectionate.
It's affectionate, trust me. I love
Chapter 4. I never mentioned it until
now but it's actually faster to taxi here instead of that other place we're going to Mizorogi.
The problem is in counter-spawns like that one that are completely unavoidable
this is the only time Mizorogi is an area trigger so it's the only time
we can take the unsafe and slightly fast route to get
to him.
Alright, okay
first fight this is is the Patriarch.
Patriarch is gonna summon drones on us.
We actually want him to summon the drones. The drones are good because it means he's standing still
otherwise he's going to be blocking and dodging everything. I accidentally
swapped when I shouldn't have so that
could've been bad but I'll take
that. It's actually a bit fast to have gotten
like blown back like that.
You see what I mean? That's the drone summon, we want to see that.
We don't wanna see that slow motion and there he is just dodging directly through our leg
that makes sense. Overall not too bad though, he can just do that like over and over again.
This is a rest,
and then a phone call
And then we'll have the hanging out with the boys section of the game.
Hey! We have a $100 donation from Goro Majima that says...
Found ya Joryo-chan?
We have $8,500
left to make sure
that no one is left behind by the way.
When Majima is everywhere
no one can be left behind. That's right.
And Commander Shepard donated $50 and said nobody is being left behind.
We have a $50 donation from NotAClone that says, I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite incentive of the marathon.
Let's keep those coming in be sure to select that incentive.
Jorya would want you to. No characters left behind, not even the annoying ones.
Hey we have a $472 donation from Frappa Boa that says,
hey TAP neat run so far.
Hope the fireflies keep lining up all right.
Don't have the information to know whether you or PMC is
right on the opposite side,
but I trust your taste in games better than your taste in Zelda games.
Wow!
And I'm going to say thank you for the donation that blessed
that fight, that cigarette actually working. It's
pretty rare.
Has that ever happened before? Oh yeah
it happens all the time but it's pretty rare. Okay
So this is the hanging out with the boys part of the run.
We're being followed around by basically a bunch of bosses we've killed, they are all my friends now
It's just kind of how Kiryu works
You beat someone up and then you're friends with them
Is that how friendship works?
That is, that's how
i got all my friends i don't know what you do literally though it's seruno it's shishido
it's the four guys from the chapter two set piece.
It's literally all mini bosses that we fought
and they're all my friend now
or going out to do stuff for dumb plot reasons.
While we're running We have a $50 donation from Pinecone that says,
Hey you! Whatcha lookin' at? This ain't a sideshow.
This is Prime Yakuza speed gaming.
The Yakuza Like A Dragon speedrunning community has been a blast over the two
years i've been involved best to luck tap knocked their lights
out
we have almost only eight thousand dollars left
we are knocking down this incentive to make sure that
nobody is left behind for this cure you has to take him to the fanciest store he
can think of in town which which is Ebisu Pawn.
We're like, we gotta spend a lot of money
to attract attention.
All right, let's hit the pawn shop.
I feel like that says something about Kiryu as a character.
You've never taken the boys to the pawn shop just spent some cash i mean it's
a fun store right we sold all our plates to him earlier so he's just got a store full of plates
just weirdly expensive metal plates.
Yep.
All right,
hopefully this works.
Yamazaki will always live
and usually one or two...
Oh, that's bad.
That's bad. Hopefully the minions will help me out here a little bit I need the boys to do work
I'm gonna end up cleaning that whole mess up myself aren't I?
Oh they're working okay oh
they're working on it actually they yeah okay they put in work that's good if
that was good even though there's not supposed to be four people left at the
end of that shoutouts to the boys!
There's karaoke, I refuse.
Sorry!
Bumi all you want, bumi all you want,
I refuse!
I was gonna see if the crowd continued.
But can they do the verse?
Everyone can do the chorus, but can you do the verse?
I could a couple years ago when I had to do it.
That's true, that's true!
I had to learn it all!
Yeah...
That's the last one we're just heading back now and then
we'll ditch the boys and get on with the actual video game.
There's a $10 donation from Anonymous that says this Joryu guy seems familiar, reminds me
of a lot of a taxi driver named Taichi Suzuki.
That's a coincidence.
And we have almost $7,500 left for the No One Left Behind incentive.
Y'all are doing amazing. Keep it up! This is, yep heading to the grand.
Now it's gonna really begin.
Well...
Well okay so first we have these two guys. These two guys you'll see...
We are in... Yeah I've like lost track of what style I'm in at this point.
He has so much HP, why?
That is definitely supposed to kill
both of them but
again that guy on the left
Here's
the main issue though. This fight in Cabaret Grand, there are three bosses hoping that they stand next to each other
It's gotten to that point where like the cigarette has to be good, but also we also need them to stand next
to each other otherwise it's slow.
Oh yeah this is gonna be bad.
Wow!
How did they get through the whole crowd?
How'd that end up back there?
Okay well that yeah okay. How did they get through the whole crap? How did that end up back there? No way.
Okay, well...
That was staged.
This is bad dude.
I'm gonna throw a second one.
I'm just going to throw a second one.
Sure okay this is what the first one should have done if it was bad
this is okay we can work with this good double get rid of him because he's gonna do the counter
if you're just not allowed to smoke in the cabaret and you know facility? I don't know.
It's that cigarette was doing what it's not supposed to do
it was leaving people behind
and we don't want that now we are
less than $6,500 away
from that incentive can we hit it before
the end of Like a Dragon Gaiden? Can we do it?
Probably.
We have a $50 donation from Ebon that says,
Shepard leaves no one behind.
Alright, truly awful fight
and judging by how that last one just went
I have no confidence in this.
Please don't bounce, please don't
bounce. Thank you!
That is still bad but we're gonna take it.
A lot of people just like straight up blocked that
thing that happens from time to time. The second one
is gonna do like nothing.
Yeah, that did like nothing we have all the bosses back here though which
is interesting the boys literally dragged all the bosses back here with us
i just don't even have to move
some might actually be
good.
Oh no, they're...
I stand corrected. The actual
boss who matters is all the way over here.
You, and then please be done over there.
They're not done over there. Where even are
you? Okay, whatever.
Because these fights are so just like cigarette full heat and then extreme
heat and prey uh you can kind of tell from how much heat you have left how good the fight was
we're looking for there to be the best i've ever had is a bit more than two bars
there that was like a bit less than a bar and half
so it's a little lower than average
but the second cigarette also kind of
throws things off a bit.
So we got fast travel so that we can get out of here the fast way. This is our last time being in the castle, even though it's supposed to be like
the main area of the game.
Turns out there isn't actually all that much to do here. There is one last thing
to do here which is this guy, uh this guy has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the game
he's just here he's just living his best life he's got drones.
Here you go.
And then because we have under one bar,
we're going to have to finish this the other way.
Why are you back there? Get out of here.
Goodbye Dan Brody. Did that that place did you see that plant
to be fair if jory punched me i would also probably fall over like that so
we have a 50 donation from cherry scary that says had to donate during the like of dragon. I never cease to love the wild plot lines of these games.
Good luck on the run, Tapioca.
That's a grounded crime thriller.
I don't know what you mean.
What's wild about this?
As I'm fighting the giant clown man.
It's continually interrupted by an episode of The Simpsons. Yeah, truly.
So here we're actually looking for there to be a random encounter uh i'm just gonna take this spawn
this is uh yeah okay i'm just going to take this isn't even going to work
i think but i'm going to take this because i want it so the cool thing about this is that
because we're going to an area trigger
we can just now rocket boots all the way down the street like that
that actually worked out perfectly i didn't think it was crazy yeah that
brought us right to the golf center and we also got to break furniture and
regen heat along the way
all right we'll try the golf center corner hoping to get the bosses to stay
kind of close to me. And this fight,
people almost always
get stuck behind
the black car.
So keep an eye on that
for like this entire
fight.
The boss is back here
which is really weird.
There's kind of a lot
of survivors too. this is actually bad
Probably should have thrown a second one
but it's too late now
Sick double
Double on the bosses? No.
It looks like nobody's gonna get stuck behind a car this time actually
Oh no, okay there he is! Nevermind!
I stand corrected.
There was a guy.
There is always a guy.
Had a decent cleanup, though, honestly.
So we're heading into the fourth set piece now.
This is sort of the technical one. The for that piece it's actually fun to do.
Not a skip? Actually I think no, that's not a skip actually i think no that's not a skip so hopefully this will just work we do have to be
careful uh we've got shishido working with us in this fight shishido sledgehammer will knock
us down shishido sledgehammer is going to cause all kinds of problems if we're too close
to him, like that!
There you go.
Why thank you, Shishito for demonstrating.
Thanks for the demonstration.
So hopefully that doesn't happen again.
This is not a skip.
Gonna rocket boots these guys, we're gonna throw a cigarette into the wall here about here-ish.
This should be okay, I think?
Yeah that...that's not uh...
No it's fine. There is still one guy
back by the door.
Sheeshido? No!
You can see it coming and you can't do
anything about it. It's just too late.
If you can see it coming, it's already too late if you can see it coming it's already
too late okay get out of that i need to rebuild a little bit more heat
that's good gonna smuggle this plant in i didn't go extreme heat mode which i
was kind of supposed to but it kind of works the same either way.
Plant these guys.
This is an incredibly fragile plant so we're
trying to be careful with this thing. Smuggling it through
the door is tricky actually
and Fukushima has a little bit of HP left so we'll just do
this and hopefully he won't do the counter.
Oh there's the counter!
There you go- oh okay okay
if I was very
slightly late on that I would have gotten interrupted by the sledgehammer.
He's going for it again!
It's almost like this guy is a villain or something.
This rocket bootsing through the hallways.
The momentum on the rocket boots is incredibly weird, you can sort of boot backwards sometimes...
This should be good- I'm not even gonna try to cancel!
Oh that was garbage look at all these dudes who didn't even get hit
man and it did the slow-mo okay whatever just get me out of this room.
These guys are not a cancel, so we'll just do this and then do the cleanup. Hopefully no cleanup!
Nah bad position.
Actually I didn't even... Whatever.
And then final room before the boss.
Yamada is going to live for kind of a long time
so hopefully
Oh, we have all the boys in the corner
with us don't we?
Yeah okay Nishitani or Shichiro is coming for me probably.
You can see him back there lurking
with his hammer.
The hammer's coming! Okay no he didn't do it
He was thinking about it
Yeah, claps for Shishi though
Shanky backwards boots.
Alright, boss time! This is Nishitani again and like I said before
whenever you see Nishitani we're just gonna hit the i-win button
We're just going to do this. There you go, there's half
his HP. He's actually gonna survive a little bit
longer this time. It's a little bit of something
that you have to pay attention to in this fight.
At the very beginning of the next phase
he's always gonna throw a smoke grenade.
And if we aren't careful,
We can heat action him before the smoke grenade
and then he'll survive
the heat action
and instantly smoke grenade after the
heat action which would stun Kiryu for kind of a long time.
So we're hoping to put a little bit of a delay on this
just to make sure that the smoke grenade happens during
the action like that.
So that's perfect. Now we just have to do
a tiny little bit of extra damage at the end.
They gave him an extra VAD amount of HP for some reason...
There you go, see ya dude!
That also puts us in the perfect style for starting the next fight
so that's kind of a convenient way to finish
that we have less than 5 800 left to make sure that nobody is left behind in Mass Effect 2.
This is the final chapter!
We have a 100 dollar donation from Wompty Dompty
that says F is for friends who do stuff together like surviving.
No one gets left behind.
Save them all, Chef.
Yeah we've just got three minutes of overhead of taxiing back and forth here so if you want to
go in go for it absolutely we've got a lot we have a 25 donation from the bridgeport crew
that says great run tapioca. Love your commentary. We have a
$5 donation from, I'm going to say
PS Caller. I probably didn't
say that right. I apologize but they say
we love Gaiden in this house.
We have a $25 donation from Purple that says tuned in for the Like A Dragon guide and run,
first time seeing it and super enjoying it! We have a $50 donation from HyperGyver that
says love The Like A Dragon series and absolutely fell in love with this
game and the speedrun. Good luck on
the run, Tapioca!
And we have a
$100 donation from KingShibi
that says, as someone whose head is always out in space,
naturally Mass Effect is my favorite franchise
of all time. So here's $100 to
make sure that nobody is left behind
whether it's on Earth or throughout
the universe.
We also
have a $500
donation from Snackery
that says,
I'm so happy that it's GDQ week again.
As always, it's amazing seeing everyone come together to not only celebrate
the collective community effort and passion throughout the multitude of speed running
communities all while raising sorely needed funds for MSF.
Of all of the incentives, No One Left Behind is especially well named.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this incredible week happen.
Thank you so much, Snackery.
Alright, well... Less than $4500
now from the incentives.
Now you know.
Okay, so we're heading to the construction fight. We are now done running around and doing stupid crap.
It is time for wall-to-wall action until the end of the run kind of.
So this is the construction fight. This is the most complicated fight in the run.
For phase one, we're just
trying to damage Shishido to get Nishitani
to throw the smoke grenade which is a trigger for starting
phase two. So even though I'm
fighting Shishido, I am looking
at Nishitani..., he just threw it.
There we go. We can block it and so
it doesn't actually stun us. And then I can spend
the rest of phase one
regenerating heat by running into stuff.
None of the damage we did during that phase actually carries over to future
phases, so we're literally just trying to make that
stun grenade happen as quickly as possible
So now Nishitani's up there and we're gonna have
to go take care of him
Extreme Heat so we can get a little bit more damage out of things
I'm going to rope the pickaxe, this is now
a Minecraft speedrun and we'll
get up here
The pickaxe, you could use the cone
here it's the exact same. It's that spin animation.
It's the same one we've been using on like every weapon.
Dash into those guys just to hopefully take care of most of the minions or at least get them out of the way of this fight.
Gonna do 1 more for good measure and then there you go. We can finish him off
with a heat action.
I like the pickaxe more
than the cone just because I feel like it has a tiny bit
more reach, but they're both
exactly the same.
And that's Nishitani taken care of, so now we just have phase 3 which is Shishido.
Shishido is back up to full HP because like I said, none of that stuff in phase 1 counted.
That was a different guy or something.
Gonna cigarette here to hopefully get a different guy or something. Gonna cigarette here
to hopefully get a little bit of feedback. I think
this angle is crap and it's probably gonna hit
nobody. Yeah, didn't really do much.
Uh, yeah
it's gonna be weird.
It's gonna be a bit weird. Hopefully we can still fit this in...
Okay no, this is gonna work. This is-
Nope nope, Nishitani's trolling me get up!
Or Shishi-Do rather. There we we go it won't do the right heat
action unless we wait until he's standing up i think so you're just enough heat to take care of
that and now we have a bit of cleanup to do, so where are you
Yao? Yeah, everyone is at full HP
It's always Yao
Yao is the one who
causes the most problems, so he gotta go first
Wow, this is an interesting quick step strike so he gotta go first.
Wow, that was an interesting quick step strike we like punched him in the foot and it did a bunch of damage
Alright, I think that's kinda decent
We do have no heat coming out of this fight,
but we basically never have heat coming out of this fight,
at least the way I do it.
I could've run around trying to break furniture there,
but I really can't be bothered.
We're just gonna drink something here.
We have less than $2,00 remaining to get that incentive.
Alright this is the official part where this game overlaps with Yakuza 7, you can see Ichiban
in the background just beating a dude up.
Thus confirming that Ichiban does actually punch people, it's not all in his imagination.
And meanwhile Kiryu is over here... you don't see this but Nyaki is at 7
But Kiryu is over here. You don't see this, but Yaki's a seven. But Kiryu is over here
just tossing cigarettes around.
And cigarette gets us
decent damage,
but there's all kinds of cleanup to do
where is he yeah the rocket boots usually don't hit enemies that are on the ground so when then
enemy is grounded like that it's just like oh thanks cool just taking a nap on the job great that's phase one okay the overlap is
over now that's it this is yakuza 7 gaiden literally
just for this moment and like one other tiny thing at the start of the game you're lucky
okay get this so this should get us most of them usually there's a couple stragglers who like to hang out
way in the back, that was very good
though actually
usually there'll just be someone
all the way at the end of this hallway
who's literally taking a nap or something and they didn't get the memo to come attack Kiryu, so you have to go all the way back there
and take care of them. And of course you block at the, thank you.
Thank you for that. In practice like half of them are at
the other end of the hallway.
It was really ridiculous.
That's that there's Ichiban goodbye.
Ichiban is going to be taking a nap on
the floor for the rest of this, I think that's
literally what's happening and so you don't
know this when you're playing Yakuza 7 but right
on the other side of the door
this massive fan service battle is happening
where every major character from the series teams up to beat
up a bunch of dudes in suits uh this fight is awful because the room is extremely big so all
the enemies spread out and your friends do not help it's's like Majima, Sajima,
and Dojima
a lot of emas
have joined to help me with this
but they're all going to be
dragging the enemies
in different directions
and it's going to be really annoying to try and get good
cigarettes in, hopefully this
Yeah, this angle actually looks good
Yeah that hit a lot of guys
Should I even do a second one? I'm gonna do a second
one Against my better
judgment. Yeah, that did
like nothing. That was pointless.
Kind of decent first one though.
Now we're just gonna
focus the bosses.
I don't know why that slow-moed, that was weird.
Usually the slow-mo is only supposed to happen if you dodge something while in extreme heat and i definitely wasn't dodging.
The friends do actually help in this fight though, take out most of the enemies
that's why I'm only focusing
on the bosses,
because they won't do that for me.
I'm proud that Daigo
finally decided to be helpful.
Once in his life.
A first for him.
Alright, all that's left is the final boss. That was that.
You can tell from where my heat bar is
that those cigarettes were a little bit unfortunate
but it's fine because I have a ton of items.
So this is the final boss, it's Shishido
after hitting us with that sledgehammer
like five times trying to take us out early
That didn't work so now we have to fight him
legit. Uh...we are
going to be using the disrespectful Nishitani heat action to him
and it's basically gonna turn this fight into an auto scroller unfortunately i really don't
know what they were thinking with the balance on this heat action It's ridiculous.
This is a sick fight, though, and I gotta say this is like Yakuza 5 fan service
right now with the way they
do...
It's just a big dude
like 10 HP bars fight through the Yakuza HQ. It's literally Aizawa
from 5 and the Yakuza 5 fan in me appreciates
it. Ooh I actually got that so we can
fit the Spark in there. That is a tiny gap
for doing a pause.
Um...I'm just gonna go ahead though since
this is like 4 and 1 half
minutes long, this fight, and almost entire entire thing is just going to be cutscene
while they move from phase-to-phase
So I'm gonna go ahead and take care of all the outro stuff now
to give GDQ
Just a little bit of time back on his schedule
So mainly, I want
to shout out the other runners of this game.
Pscholar, Voidus,
Crimson Okat,
let's see, Pinecone, Firelight,
probably some other people I'm forgetting.
I think Streetbackguy has done a few runs.
Yeah you have.
Um yeah, Safesy runs this game even though she's not on the leaderboard.
I've been told that she's gonna run.
Ostensibly. Yeah, in particular is responsible for pretty much the entire route so like massive shout outs to an absolute
legend of yakuza speed running um i also
of course especially want a shout out one dude who i didn't mention
it was frub uh i i proved when i go way back there
was a time when the Yakuza community
was essentially just me and him
and like one or two other people
kind of.
So it's been insane
how much the community
has grown over the years
and a lot of that's been
because of his efforts
at growing it. So, it's
been really cool and he's been a chill dude the whole time.
So, shoutouts to him.
I also want to give an extremely special
shoutout to my friend Sanovin.
We had a massive amount of technical difficulties
getting this run set up last night. It took six hours to install this game
so huge shoutouts to Sanovin for basically
coming in clutch and saving the run
i would not be playing it without him and he doesn't even run this
we're getting two plant uses okay that's gonna throw this entire fight off.
That's going to be really weird.
I think I can just do...
He's not letting me do it! Come on, come on.
Why won't he let me do it?
Okay we have to like...
Do this now or something.
He's stalling! We know- he knows we have less than a thousand dollars
Less than a thousand dollars left to get that incentive
Shishido wants the incentive dude
That was a massive amount of overkill damage in the end too it was a horrible decision by me we're heading into the last fight i just want to point
out i don't understand what's going to happen, but look at the physics behind this.
Maybe just takes a little longer than i thought, but look at the physics behind this!
Where's the rope?
Rope-um-cure you, I mean jore you.
Oh there we go.
Yeah just...
The amount of strength!
Just toss him all the way up there
and then Kiryu from this position of horrible leverage also yanks
him all the way up here!
Grounded crime, grounded crime drama.
By the way I've been using Stamina and Sparks on this we picked these up all
the way back at the start of the game. This is what they
were for. We've got four heat bars now
and we need to be able to fill all of them back up
Get the boys hanging out on the floor down there
The dramatic final showdown on this overhang thing.
I'm going to drink
the second spark just in case.
I don't want anything weird
to happen after this heat action but i probably
didn't even need to drink this
one last juggle for the road, there you go.
And time is going to be on the final QTE so I will call that for you when it happens
It's gonna be in like 15 seconds or something And...time.
Am I over a second? No. Okay, good!
125.42
The hard carry from the loads, dude.
And there's only $336 left for the incentive.
So you beat the inside out.
But anyway, there you go that was guiding I guess.
I kind of gave my closing remarks already so I don't have much else to say thank you so much a GDQ of course for
having me on and for yeah just just happen behind not putting
me at 5 in the morning like you usually do, just saying.
Well yeah there you go thanks for watching! Is that in set as yet?
Let's give it up once more for tapioca
for that amazing like a dragon guide and
run
we are so close.
Only $311 left to get that no one left behind incentive,
so one last push and Mass Effect 2 is coming up in just a little bit
don't close that tab
we have some love coming in for Tapioca that came
in during that. We have a $23.20
donation from Hootie Wattie, that says here's one dollar for every
hour it took me to beat this game. i'm a late comer to the yakuza
series but have become completely obsessed excited for the man who erased his name run
good luck tapioca shout out to my wife ariel and my floof princess mia who are watching with me so..
.
.
.
.
..
.
.
.
.
.. um.. so.. is so We're back.
I didn't panic much, but we all got that.
Thank you so much.
We got that no one left behind incentive.
Thank you so much.
Nobody will be left behind
if you're wondering how we got that there how about this
one thousand dollar donation from Nathan Shafter that says gotta go fast,
gotta save them all? This donation goes to my best friend, Chase.
You are watching Summer Games Done Quick 2024 powered by
Twitch. My name is Bobby Blackwolf, we have coming up Mass Effect 2 and 8% New
Game Plus by Sanjan but first we want to show you a word from one of our sponsors oh me so Like I said, we did get that no one left behind incentive.
I want to tell you how we got there as well with some other people.
We have another $ thousand dollar donation from unlocked
that said let's not leave anyone behind.
We also have a $25 donation from Erunian that says, let's ensure that no incentive
is left behind. Put this
towards the No One Left Behind incentive for
Mass Effect 2.
We have a $100
donation from GoldenEye double o agent that says let's all save the crew in
mass effect 2 and let's hear more than sing with a 50 donation from three wise llamas that says, say what you will about killing
or saving the animals.
But we have to save our teammates.
No one gets left behind. they really are wise llamas there are three wise llamas very much and
i bet they would want to save the animals too because their wives. There's three of them.
We have a $25 donation from Bidoof's that says, donating towards
nobody left behind.
Ohana means family.
Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.
Happy GDQ, y'all! We had a $250 donation from
Plato2876
that just said, no one left behind and speaking of no one left behind it is
time for us to not leave anyone behind mass effect 2. Sanjan,
show us how it's done!
Hello everyone, I'm Sanjan.
This is not the sequel to Octopath Traveler 2 but it's in a parallel universe
so this is Mass Effect
2, the game that everybody loves and has a lot of nostalgia over.
And you're going to see it being broken so I want to be quick to reiterate this is done on
the original version and not the Legendary Edition, because there's
a few really cool glitches that you don't get to see in
the Legendary Edition. We'll explain that later.
But first off,
did we pick FemShif or BroShif?
So, probably one of the most lopsided bid wars I have ever seen,
The BroShep enjoyers did get almost $170 but Femshep with over $2,000.
Let's go women!
Let's go women! Alright so
I have chosen friendship
here and so
you'll notice that I actually loaded
from a save here this is because if we start from New Game,
there's going to be like five minutes of cut scenes
that nobody asked to watch.
So this is why we kind of load directly at the start.
And to reiterate, no one left behind New Game Plus.
There's going to be a really few unique things that you'll see
and even though it's New Game Plus it's still a really cool speed run so without further ado uh miranda is just
yelling at us to start so i'll start the timer in three, 2, 1, go!
Alright so we're basically going to pretty much start off here like
we kind of wake up in base and then we are pretty much gonna be charging our way here.
Unlucky coin flip right there. Yeah.
While Sanjen's walking through, we should probably introduce ourselves to Corvamey.
Oh go ahead, actually run the game
yeah my name is mike wave i go yeah that's how i go by on twitch i also run this game health route this category quite a lot.
Uh, I'm Sanjan- or I'm Corbet
I'm Sanjan's like
one of Sanjans' go to pass if my god is
I am not also Sanjan
Great start
We are off to a great start we are off to a great start here
carver bay would be the mass effect sidekick well you already started by
calling like saying that this is like a
nostalgic game which aged me like 20 years immediately so
all right so we're going to just gonna quickly go through the tutorial area
that's a little annoying that's fine take my time
i'm always saying this sorry so like you might be noticing why i'm like quickly scrolling through everything i have a map or we have a legal key or
key bind that just lets us like go through dialogue
really quick. It's part of so
there is a couple mods that we installed for this
just for pretty much
taking out cutscenes and we can explain that later.
Yeah, uh... So Sanjan is gonna be using a G502 mouse
which is a mouse that has like Notorious for like a free scroll wheel
and she has the skip dialogue option set to her mouse wheel,
so that's what's happening right there.
That's why she's just skipping through all this dialogue
so fast.
You should see like this is a very fast-paced game.
You might be wondering why I'm charging through everyone and skipping the animations
This is because you can skip the charge animation by going into the menu
and then going back.
Yeah, in case you're curious like you can
choose a starting class in this game
And for basically every single
Mass Effect speedrun we play as Vanguard
In this game specifically we played because each class has a signature ability
Vanguards is Charge which as the name implies like lets you like literally just teleport on
top of an enemy and as you can imagine when we're just trying to get to the end
of the level as fast
as possible, Charge is insane. It's really good.
Mass Effect 2 was the first game where Vanguard became what people remember Vanguard being
and man it sure is quick to warp.
Well no, warp is a different thing my bad.
Yeah that's like a DPS ability and the first game
they didn't introduce this until ME2
and then ME3 also had it.
But yeah like that's where they introduced all the signature abilities
that only this class has access to this ability and all that you know?
Yeah so you'll see me doing this really cool series of kind of just
elevating myself up? Mike, would you
like to explain these elevators? Yeah.
So we call it the elevator glitch. As you can
see as we just rub along
these walls and pieces of collision
all across the map
the game will just push us up here because it doesn't and pieces of collision all across the map.
The game will just push us up here because it doesn't know how to resolve this like, physics conflict that's going on right here so
it just pushes you up like that. That's it!
We can use this for almost every single mission in the game.
It allows us to skip so much content.
Like right here, we're just going straight to the end of a level.
Normally you'd have to be fighting rooms and rooms of mechs and stuff but this is way way faster i'm
like so surprised that never like encountered this playing because it's
so light it seems so simple when you watch it
yeah so funnily enough about that,
like in the Legendary Edition...
Like this is the reason we are running
the OG version of the game by the way.
This allows us to just skip
so much more content than you would
in Legendary Edition
which is basically glitchless.
But yeah, they were very rough about patching after
Legendary Edition because it happened so often
for casual players that they would just softlock
themselves in some part of the map. They don't
know how to get around out- bounds you know so it makes sense
why they were so adamant about getting rid of that that's what i'm surprised like it never happened
uh i would like to apologize to all the tally fans in advance
uh don't worry not getting getting left behind. That doesn't count as being left behind.
Yeah she's fine. She's fine trust me.
You'll be okay.
But yeah shooting Tali there ragdolls her and then allows us to basically just get to the end of this cutscene right here.
You just go straight to the end. It saves like
10-15 seconds, I think, on that cutscene
or that dialogue right there.
Don't worry everyone, we'll make it up to her at the end
or near the end, I should say.
So pretty much after this
we kind of like start
We're pretty much kind of like
starting to recruit a lot of members here
and I'm actually going to pick my weapons here so we use the dlc in this
game because there's some really nice weapons that come with the dlc very specifically
the mad hoc yeah the bad ock it's uh one of the assault rifles like assault
rifles in this game are just
the best but the mad hoc specifically is one that you get with uh one of the dlc
uh like gun packs that they have and uh it is by far the best weapon in the game i think
it's because dps wise it is so good and because we're playing
on New Game Plus, Shepard already has Assault
Rifle training. Normally you'd have to do about
half the game, I would say, before
you were allowed to do that otherwise you're locked with shotguns
Hi Bobby! Hi How you doing oh dad bobby that's bobby
sorry so this is a more recent skip down we call it the bobby skit this pretty much
allows us to skip through like watching a bunch of doors open here and we
can quickly get to bobby deterian then start uh recruiting our fellow scientists hilarious morden
that should be a valentine's day card i went out of bounds just to skip straight to you.
So yeah, I guess I can go ahead and introduce what's going on in this game.
In case you've never played it,
just a very quick recap.
This game basically follows...
It's kind of like a Seven Samurai type story
in space where we have to recruit
a bunch of the the best warriors in the galaxy basically to go take down this race known as The Collectors.
They're trying to attack the Earth, that's basically what is going on.
So all these missions are us just going out of our way to like recruit
one more party member and
building our team for that final mission
And yeah, since you all graciously donated
to make sure no one is left behind
we are going to get the good ending of this game well mostly good ending
though we would like to apologize to all thing uh samara kazumi and legion fans yeah just
no confusion like there is another category that we have called all loyalty missions where we do get every single squad member and we do every single loyalty mission. It's about two hours, about double the length of this category. But I think it's about... Is it eight squad members
that I think you need
to initiate the final mission?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So we just get
eight party members
and then we do
just enough of
the loyalty missions
which are kind of like
the story missions
for each
squad member so that we can just get through
the final mission without anyone dying. Yeah,
that's what No Blood Left Behind means specifically is you will not have
the full party. We won't have the full part but
no one will die! but we will save everyone that
we recruit and that includes our
crew members
San Joaquin here would it be a good spot
for some donations?
Yeah, we can do like one or two donations before we have to explain more of this.
Alright! We have a $200 donation from Corvimey
Hi Mei!
Paying $200 of Ogre pawn tax as promised. I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite large green square,
large yellow square, large yellow square in the Citadel.
Thank you, Mae. yellow square large green square in the citadel thank you may uh we'll explain more of this so this is kind of like a pretty unique part of mike would you like to explain this
so yeah for this uh the end of this mission right here this
is like probably one of the more rng rooms in
the game oh that's really bad yeah what happened right there was extremely unfortunate it looked
very uncommon all right that doesn't actually never happen before. There you go.
There's the bingo,
but yeah,
basically we just need to,
we're in this giant fan room.
We need to like disperse this airborne vaccine that kind of cure like an epidemic that's going on here. And we just need to
hit these two big buttons that are on the opposite
ends of the room.
But the enemies here can be kind of weird, and also
your squad... So normally uh you want jacob
here to die because he does this voice line if he does die and get lucky then
you save like four seconds it's what makes the room like kind of
annoying gas maybe no you don't have to sit there and guess
yeah so we basically recruited warden uh basically you're gonna see a lot of miranda in morden
so moran is just probably like the best squadmate in the game
Just because she has a very varied kind of moveset
And she kinda fills one of our weaknesses
Especially with Overload which hits shields
Vanguard's generally don't hit shields very well.
And she has the passability called
Service Officer, which increases weapon
damage for everyone.
That's where pretty much most of our damage will come from.
Yeah, Miranda was almost like built I think as
the most broken Bardi member in the game almost intentionally it makes sense
lore-wise that she is so overpowered yeah like she just covers everything
almost and she's the only squad member to have that passive
for whatever reason. I don't know why.
And then Morden is going to have Incinerate
and talk about him.
Incinerate is probably one of the best abilities in
the game also, it just allows us to hit armor really
well and if you use it on a pack
of enemies they will kill an entire
pack of enemies by itself. It's an extremely strong ability.
Yeah, I should note we're pretty much going through
a lot of these random dialogue things
just to get to Archangel.
So if you have two or three three donuts feel free to read some
absolutely i think i'm too old to read this one but i'm going to try it anyway we
have a 40 donation from bram hall the fifth it just says skibidi shepherd heard that
i totally butchered that heard that thank you for the donation though
we also have an eight dollar donation from winters that says i want to give a
shout out to sanjan for a previous gdq run her run of octopath traveler 2 at agdq this year inspired
me to get back into the series and that game is now my favorite video game of
all time. So excited
to see another of her runs.
Aw, thank you so much. Good choice.
You can read one more before we stop the mission.
How about this $500 donation from Paul
that just says, Mass Effect let's go!
I agree. Let's go mass effect all right so we're coming up on our archangel's
mission it's going to be pretty much out of all the missions that we do aside from
the ones in loyalty mission and the longest mission.
There's a lot of multiple parts to these
and it's also an extremely annoying
mission. Yeah, this like mission
is broken up into like multiple points.
We basically have to help Archangel, I think
like most people know who it is
It's not a big spoiler but yeah
it's like a fan favorite
Right here Sanjan is actually going to make a save
and she's going to load here. Normally you wouldn't do this but
this skip can be like super annoying. And we get it here
I'm just gonna do this and then... Nice! First try
So the reason why first try.
So the reason why I did that version of the
skip is while it's much noticeably
slower, the thing is that
that skip is sort of hardware dependent due to how the loading zones work.
So it's much safer and more feasible.
There was a lot of hardware-dependent stuff in this run.
And fortunately, I think it...
In practice, it went pretty good, right?
Yeah!
Also hi Garrus.
Oh yeah, it's Garris by the way.
Any Garris fans out there?
You all get to see your fan favorites not as much just because Miranda and Morden are very overpowered but...
You do see Garrus a lot though just because when you're doing the party selection before every mission, garris is the default option so uh a lot of times we just end up taking garrett's along with us just because it saves like
a fraction of a second to pick him over anyone else because like it just won't matter in a
lot of these missions hoorayoray, he's optimal!
So you see me standing here because there are some unique parts I want to wait for
at least some people to enter in because i don't want to get additional waves.
So yeah like funny story about this.
This strat right here where we're waiting for all these enemies to come into the base before
We start killing them.
This was found by the QA testers of the game and
They told some of the older runners for this game about it because
like, it's really the only way to do this part fast. I think that's pretty good
Yeah that was really good nice. And now that goes ahead takes us to
this next phase where we got gotta kill this big mech,
then a couple more enemies. Then the actual boss, like the mini-boss of this segment is gonna spawn
But yeah you tend to lose a lot of runs here just because uh if you do if anything even
goes wrong it's sometimes it's like not even your
fault like uh the enemies will just like keep spawning infinitely this
this entire mission is like so so buggy honestly
and yeah i want to say that even this is ran on casual mode but
even if this is uncasual it's very scary just because of the nature of the fact
that this game deviated from mass effect one in that it's a cover shooter and
yeah when you're at out of cover like this all the time,
you are going to take a lot of damage
even in easy difficulty.
And they really wanted you to play
this game very tactically and methodically
and that is not really...
And yet it's also the one where they gave you the Vanguard
charge.
I mean, this game was made
in the post-Gears of War era, so
just made like that basically.
But yeah you know...
We can talk about the differences between this and
Legendary Edition
So the legendary edition
You won't see many of these glitches. There is one glitch that you'll see otherwise
that's pretty much the same as in Legendary Edition.
Yeah I don't know if we want to talk about the autosave bug yet or no uh we can
talk about that when it comes to it yeah but that's like one of those that's we'll talk about
it later but there is like one major bug that they did not patch for
Legendary Edition. But besides that, yeah
the Legendary Edition run is basically glitchless
compared to this.
Yeah, for this next part right here
uh, the second mercenary band who are trying to kill Garrus.
They're trying to come in through like this basement area and we just gotta close these shutters so they can't come in
And once we close this last one right here it it's going to go ahead and just teleport.
We're going to get a black screen, and then it's going to teleport us back up,
and then we're going to kill the second mini-boss.
And that—this is why this whole segment is so long
because there are so many phases involved with it like some of the other missions
like you just go to the end and takes like two minutes but yeah this one is really really long
yeah we've been actually faced through like a bunch
of little mini bosses out there, generally easy to deal with.
Here's the second mini boss
and here is the power of the Madoc.
In one clip he just dies.
It's so much damage! Yeah you'll'll see like the abilities that we have are overpowered. I should say our bonus power here is Reeve
And Reeve is an incredibly good ability and it will very much play into part later on
Yeah uh... it'll very much play into part like later on. Yeah, even on
the harder difficulties, it might seem
this is only because we're playing on casual but
even on Insanity if you play as
a soldier with the Madoc which is what a lot of people do and you just spam adrenaline rush
You will just shred everything with the Madoc. It's so incredibly over tuned.
And there's a I don't want to jinx it, no we're fine
We're fine. Yeah yeah
There is a softlock that can happen
there if you kill that one like it's
another mini boss that spawns there if you kill her like a little too fast for whatever reason
just this next set of enemies will just never spawn and we're just like left
there with like g till eternity basically.
It's pretty funny, but yeah not very optimal for the run
Yeah so we can explain about uh the cane here
You're gonna see it coming up then there's a reason why why you
pretty much an assault every problem with the cane here so we're going to get
these last shielders look out the cane here. About to raise some cane.
So we got all these, you know
that really hard boss
Goodbye Yeah so uh Wow. Goodbye!
Yeah, so the cane is basically a portable
like nuke launcher. There's like
some people are gonna nerd out about that and go
technically it's not a nuke
but no, it's just like nuke that you can just like
carry around and the trade-off is is that uh
it uses up a lot of heavy weapon ammo like you shoot it once
and then like you just have to find like i think like four or five i think it's
like four more like heavy like
heavy ammo packs to like use it again however this is where that glitch is
going to come into play that we were talking about earlier the heavy weapon
bug or do you uh yes the autosave bug went
this way whatever not a big deal.
Yeah, that's not a big deal. But yeah, the autosave bugs...
So we run this entire game with autosaves turned off and
The reason for that is because if the game just does
Not make autosaves and then we go into
The next mission it just will
not correctly track how much heavy weapon ammo we are using and it will reset us back to whatever
how much heavy weapon ammo that we had on our previous save which is maxed out so you can just basically use it once
permission and it's just like not a big deal and then we never have to pick up heavy weapon ammo
and it makes the run much, much faster actually. Yeah so so coming up here next though
basically this run kind of happens
in two parts
you'll notice that like the other categories
like the first 30 minutes is pretty much
the same we have to recruit a base number of squadmates and then
we do this specific mission, and then the rest of the world is open to us so
we're recruiting a really strong biotic named Jack
And basically she's in a...
This prison and we gotta go for-
Oh, that's unlucky.
That is a pretty common bug
that can happen in this game with the charge ability
I think we call it like a false charge
I don't know but
It just sometimes happen the game
does not make Shepard charge over and you'll
just do the animation in place
and it will use up your cooldown.
It's really annoying,
but it's not a deal
Jerk.
Yeah sometimes this game is just like randomly mean to you
in very jank,
but there's generally mostly ways around it.
So are you just gonna see me whip out the cane here.
Yeah, wow, we have heavy weapon there.
Yeah, okay!
And as you can see,
we're gonna use it right here in this upcoming room.
Like for this room specifically,
we just have to kill a ton of enemies. And as you're going to see
the game just kind of makes it like instant
It's...
If you're thinking this is a new game plus weapon, it's actually not
You can get this in New Game. You can actually get it very
very early. It's like it's incredible that you can actually get it very very early
it's like it's incredible that you can just get it so easily
i do like that we use two things so much that slow down the game
yeah between the cane and charge they're coming yeah so come charge.
And coming, yeah, so one thing to note about the cane is that it pretty much
fully damages like a shield
or whatnot, so if I'm in red HP, it'll
instantly kill me
if I'm in range. it'll instantly kill me. And if I'm in range that will come into effect later but anyways here's like the hardest one of the hardest parts of this uh...
Oh, I don't know if i got this, but we'll try.
Okay!
Oh nice, that was really close.
So the timing on that kill is really precise just because those shields get raised up and we have a limited amount of time.
I opted to do like a slightly safer version of that ideally you don't need to go into that but basically like he has the warden
has shields and armor and then uh hp and basically like we just basically try to first dps him down
as much as possible cleaning a donut while san Sanjan flies over to the next area.
How about a $5,000 donation from The Yeti?
Hey all, Yeti here.
Garristan here. Huge shout out to our
Mass Effect mega fan Yeti Jacob who had to donate during this run
to show the game some love. We're excited to share we've hit over $30,000 raised from orders
from our official SGDQ 2024 collection thanks to everyone who has ordered.
Be sure to check out the collection,
every item ordered directly benefits Doctors Without Borders
and we are almost $8000 away from $400,000 raised for Doctors doctors without borders so far thank you all so much for your generosity
and donations i'm much appreciated for a great cause
so you'll notice that i opened the tactical menu uh you'll notice that I opened the tactical
menu, uh, you'll see that a couple more times
but basically, uh, it gives
Shepard invincibility to a degree.
Yeah, as we're gonna be navigating through out of bounds a lot
There are a lot of parts in the game where there are really big death planes
Where if you just touch it like Shepard, Insta dies
And for whatever reason, just like hold the attack menu uh it'll pause the game
but because this they didn't account for shepard to like fall
and stuff even though like there is fall damage in the game
uh if you just hold the tack menu open like while we're passing through a death plane it'll take us to 1 HP but it won't kill us because we can't die in attack menu. That's the primary reason for that.
Yeah so when people say Shepard used to be a specter, she really used to be a specter.
Who loves hacking minigames?
Alright slightly more than Jack but less than Garris.
Writing us all down.
Alright so yeah you'll see the first of that little hacking minigame where we have to kind of match two things.
It is mostly a skill-based mini game, ow!
It's mostly a skill based minigame that's gonna come
into play in a couple more places.
Ooh, that's pretty good.
Yeah, there's two variants of the hacking game. Like, that's the first one,
the node one, which, yeah, as Sanjay mentioned, it's like
completely... It's mostly skill-based.
The solution is random, but you can just tell
based on, like, the patterns of, like, the nodes and stuff. Like what
the solution is if you have enough
experience doing it. But the other one that we're gonna
talk about a little bit later is... It's really
really bad. It's probably the worst part of this game in my
opinion. Yeah otherwise it's probably the worst part of this game in my opinion yeah otherwise a
fridge consistent like you've ever seen me consistently just like run through a
lot of these enemies charge and Vanguard is generally really great.
But then there's gonna be, so like you also get to see like this
uh... really cool trick, a pretty precise
trick with the cane coming up next year
after I run from these guys. This area
is actually also really scary, just
because there's a lot of things that can hit you really
hard and we don't really
care about our squamates going down. They'll be back.
Don't worry. Yeah, they're gonna like revive like right here as we
talk to this guy they do they do go down a lot for not being left behind i gotta say
they take a lot of punishment in this run all righty so here's the precise cane shot I need to start it at this point
just sneak one in here and then we run back so you'll notice that kind back
so you'll notice i kind of like did that quick save uh before i got out the cane another i think we explained this i don't know if he's playing it's another
property kit click state but that is that it keeps our equipment
load out and if I do like
these safety click saves too much
then it tends to very much
mess with our load out. And that pretty much
does matter. So if you quick saveave when you're out of ammo,
are you now on ammo forever?
I don't think so.
If you do it with the heavy weapon,
it will.
That's what I mean,
with the heavy weapon.
Yeah,
with the heavy weapon,
it will.
You'll always just start at zero
so it's actually like kind of important that
you never make a save after you use the cane otherwise it makes sense yeah
also we're going to say hi to our best friend timmy here and if you want
if you want two or three more donations while we go through this, feel free.
Absolutely, we have a $10 donation from Mar and Gok
that says nobody gets left behind,
We can't let anyone die especially Garrus And we have a $5 donation from CM5871 that says
Mass Effect is a huge part of my family. My partner and I love the series. Our
son's middle name is Garrusis and we have a 25 donation from chibi carrera
that says i don't know if this is a debate but garris is the best companion
i will not be taking any criticism or disagreements on this.
Shout out to Tech Crew, y'all are amazing.
Shout out to Frame Fatales,
the best community in the world.
Let's go woman!
Alright so coming up here is Horizon.
Everyone knows it's just like
terrified because there are some really annoying enemies
It's gonna be really quick
Don't worry you're going gonna see a lot of like
We are just going to use our little classic Spectre powers
TM, to pretty much skip a huge amount of this area
Hey things are going good at Horizon right?
Yeah you know just all these like
colonizers getting kidnapped
and stuff it's pretty horrifying but
you know its all good
But yeah this is kind of a notorious mission because it's the first mission that
introduces collectors.
We'll talk about it at the end of this mission here because that's where you actually have
to fight them.
Because we're just doing a bunch of out-of-bounds right here.
These are probably some of the coolest out-of-bounds right here these are probably like some of the
the coolest like out of bounds in the game right here like uh we're gonna do
this like bit right here so she's going to go
he's going to do two elevators right here to go up and we're going to run the
dn here
and when sanjan melee abuses off this ledge right here
She's going to load into like this next area and just boost all the way up. You're gonna see it right here
I think we never talked about the melee trip
Oh yeah, melee abusing. Oh that's right.
You have to save though.
Might have to make a new save though for the auto
Yeah I'll do that before I get to
the thing. We haven't explained the melee
abuses yet. Would you like to explain it? Yeah, so
in this game when you melee
Shepard moves forward
a little bit and that's primary
what you're seeing right here
using what we're using here to like get out of bounds and stuff
and like go around.
Uh,
and she,
like Santana is doing this by pressing S
and then like melee at around the same time
and that'll like just push Shepard
a little bit forward
and for whatever reason the pistol becauseepard a little bit forward. And for whatever reason, the pistol
because it has a different animation
pushes you like a little bit further
and right here we have the other
hacking minigame I was talking about.
Not great but it is what it is.
Did I not see? I didn't see that in time.
Yeah.
It's random and it's an auto scroller.
Hooray!
I love both of those things.
All right so we're pretty much gonna see our friendly neighborhood collectors here and then we're going to see our best friend Harvey.
Not to be confused with our fellow off the pack 2 gaming but he's tried to
assume direct control this feed on how could he
that is fight can be really annoying.
Sometimes these enemies will just run away from you for no reason and they'll hide on the opposite end of the arena.
I mean... after seeing how quickly Shepard mows them all down, I too would run away.
So yeah that was the first wave and now we have this second wave right here
And then we're gonna have the boss which uh...
The boss is going to involve a pretty cool setup to
kill them really fast it's a shockwave there which has what that's uh
that's a new one on the bingo board here buddy whatever yeah you have to be kind of careful here
as well because uh if you kill heart to harbinger enemies like that's like uh the main bad guy of
the game who like can possess these enemies and like make them super strong
if you take too long uh they'll just spawn again so that could be super annoying and right here
we're setting up for a quick kill on this boss is there there another one? Okay.
Alright, nice.
And right as we do this
she's gonna skip a cutscene and that's going to immediately kill the boss
like right as they spawn in.
Not in my headcanon, buddy.
Sorry, they don't exist in my headcanon.
You'll understand why in a moment here. And so because you all graciously don't exist in my headcanon. You'll understand why in a moment here,
and so because you all graciously donated
to make sure nobody's left behind
we are going to take a little bit of a different path.
Yeah this is like the primary point
where the routes really begin to diverge.
Because after Horizon
The game almost completely opens up to you
So right now we're gonna go ahead and just grab
I think besides Garrus
everyone else's favorite squad member Tali.
Her recruitment mission is pretty fast
And also we do need her
you actually 100% need her if you want everyone to live because she sells
a ship upgrade we'll talk about that in a little bit but yeah you you need all of those for like
the end game i am curious about our audience here alright garris fans go.
Pauly fans go. Let's go women!
I don't know.
That was pretty close.
Okay Gordon fans. Okay.
I've got no shield!
Oh yeah, also this is happening.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know if I got this because...
I think you got it.
Yeah.
Oh, no!
It's all good. We gotta save.
Yeah. So what I was trying to do there
is skip a whole sequence there.
This can be a little precise. I don't think
I got enough run distance there just because my running animation is a little bit awkward.
I think this should be good.
It's a little bit like timing precise, but it's also very easy to kind of fail this.
Yeah you have to be like running while you're falling off here to get enough momentum to make
it past his barrier
nice yeah that was definitely it all right cool i love the corner Cool.
I love the corner,
the edge of
the screen
vein is so
a product
of its time.
I know.
It's like
with COD
and all that
from this era
it's like
all these games
when we need a way to show
that you're in danger...
Here is like a bunch of red veins
all over your screen.
Yeah the big thing with that skip
it's very easy to mess up
if you go too much to the right
you pretty much just fall
into an endless pit of void.
But as you see here, I think
normally, like, you would have to kind of, like,
go and, like, open a gate, but we're just gonna
go past through this gate where Shepard, uh...
We were a Spectre.
We-we're using our Specter powers.
Yeah, this is like another really broken mission.
Uh, we're just gonna skip all the way to the end here.
It's going to be pretty intense charge that we are going do at the end there is going to be a pretty pretty uh intense like
a charge that we're gonna do at the end here towards the boss
uh we'll talk about it in a little bit uh we are gonna let go ahead and just
elevator back into the void right over here yeah so we're gonna go back to the void right over here.
Yeah, so we're going to go back to the void here and then
there's like a little bit of a scary part
here with our friendly
neighborhood again but it shouldn't be too bad hopefully.
This entire mission has this gimmick going on
like you can hear it for like the noise uh being out in the sunlight what goes ahead
and just rains your shield so like you only have like one layer of health like that's
the whole thing with this mission but doesn't really impact
anything with like how we do it all right can you shooty-shoot so I'm
gonna try to be Pearson Ram Miranda there to soak some hits.
Hopefully the Geth Prime does not let me down.
I think you're fine right now.
So yeah, I'm going to pay our respects to Cal Riear. He's going to take one for the team.
Rip Garrus.
And then we're going to charge all the way through the boss here at the opposite end of the room.
That's perfect!
Oh yeah, this is another thing that we should probably talk about with the cane.
You can actually cane yourself right here and be fine, even though
it kills almost everything. It could actually kill
Shepard as well but the thing
is that it only does like one wave
burst of damage
When your shields get depleted, you have a couple of like window
of iframes and basically so long as you have your shields up, you cannot die from the
cane. So we can just do that basically to kill bosses and stuff.
All right, so coming up here
We had to go through quite a bit of chores
Random... really random chores
To grab loyalty missions
And all that fun stuff
You've got like two minutes grab loyalty missions and all that fun stuff so
you've got like two minutes to uh have you got any donations oh i
i absolutely do thank you so much we have a 50 donation from ico the blue
that says sanjan i'm so excited to be watching this run live and seeing what memes you
have in store for us.
Cheering for you, PS get stick bucked, LOL.
I just read them. I don't know why they're there. P.S., get stick-bucked, LOL.
I just read them.
I just read them.
All right, now,
I like this one.
We have a $250 donation from Scott Moore.
I was laid off last week, so it's tempting not to donate
but Mass Effect 2 is my all-time favorite game
and Doctors Without Borders is an amazing organization
I accompanied the Doctor toonduras several years ago so while
i don't know what my future holds i feel i must donate to ensure the healthy futures of the people
who will be cared for through this and many other donations that will be
made during this event.
And while it takes more time, Doctors Without Borders is about saving lives so this donation
must be applied to no squad mate left behind thank you so much thank you so much
the doctor feel free to go on we We've got more time.
All right, we have a $100 donation from Kittens that just says Shepard, Rex, Shepard, Rex, Shepard.
We have a $50 donation from Mike Shep that says Mass Effect 2 is my favorite
game of all time! I'll never forget how stunned I was during my first playthrough
when Grunt got swept away by the Seeker's Swarm.
Here is to saving the crew!
Don't worry, in this feed room no one will get swept away. Everything will be good.
We can do one more donation.
Oh hey we upgraded the cannon.
Yeah.
Well we have a $25 donation from Commander Shepard that just says this is my favorite speedrun on The Citadel.
Thank you for your endorsement.
Alright so what I did there was just a bunch of
kind of like grabbing people's loyalty missions
and then
pretty much...grabbing that really
mandatory upgrade from Garrus.
So sorry, everyone.
We will not be doing Garrus' loyalty mission
just because his loyalty mission takes actually noticeably longer than Jacob's.
You can pick from two leaders and that is three three yeah it's three sorry i don't know why
i said dude so you have garris miranda or or jacob please yeah jacob is like by far
the fastest out of all of them.
It's really fast compared to everyone else and
yeah because I think that the Garrus one you need to go all the way through the Citadel
And you have to watch a bunch of cutscenes
Miranda's really long watch a bunch of cutscenes and it's the same with miranda's
is really long yeah yeah miranda's really long and because actually
spoilers you have to do jack's loyalty mission it'll create like
an even longer cutscene yeah we're like they're fighting
and then you have to like like them from fighting. It takes so long.
But yeah, y'all also notice here we are kind of doing filler missions.
There's pretty much like mandatory amount of missions
that you have to do to progress the plot in general.
And, pretty much in between we'll be doing
some of these filler missions
that will help us get to the amount that we need.
So coming up here next is Jacob's loyalty mission
So Jacob will be one of our three people that we make loyal
I think you passed it i pass it oops
uh good so it's actually another scary look or loyalty mission just mainly because we have to
do a pretty precise cane shot and then there's like these really weird
random soft locks that can happen which hopefully it won't happen
yeah this is like mostly like a whole w simulator for this mission but
the end is like really scary yeah so the end's pretty scary just because we
have a lot of uh stuff that's trying to attack us and we very much like
really do not want to like be in the direction of the game.
But here's actually another really unique kind of skip that we can do,
and I'll let Mike explain it.
Yeah so she is going to go ahead and make a save and load right here
And basically if you were... Like I like when you're loading from a save
and then like you're using your scroll wheel or a macro to like spam the dialogue cancel like really
fast it'll just go ahead and make some of these npcs like non-interactable including that
mpc right there normally there's like this huge cutscene that you got to watch right there
and uh doing that basically just gets it it's up really nice little time save
and i don't know, do we want to talk about
Jacob's loyalty mission? Because it's probably one of the more
controversial ones in this game
I think the only thing that we need to mention is
basically the summary of this is that Jacob's dad is a bad person TM.
Yeah he's not a good guy.
And then we're here to kind of like find out why so you can basically think of...
So these look... We haven't really explained what the loyalty missions are.
They're basically a shepherd playing therapist.
Honestly yeah.
So a big mechanic for this game is just like we're preparing for this one final mission where,
like, we need everyone to be focused and then everyone's just like okay well I need you to play therapist
for me. I need you to help me fix whatever problem I have.
And then I'll be fully focused for the mission.
Which, fortunately, Shepard does have like the full backing of servers.
So if anyone has like the budget to do it,
it's us.
I'm going to try to do this. Here's the shot coming up right here, so we have to clear out this whole room with a cane
and there are so many enemies
they can just shred your health so fast that you could accidentally die from the cane shot right nice we got it here though
but yeah that part's really scary if you get even like kind of unlucky with where to cane
because there is some like auto target with like when you're aiming at enemies,
but if it hits a prop that's like
a little too close to you,
you will get caught in the blast radius.
It is really scary when that happens.
Alright! Mission done!
We have one loyal member which... We are only making two more party members loyal and that next person is Jack.
Yeah, we only need three loyalty missions done with, all the choices made optimally
during the final mission,
we'll go ahead
and save everyone.
It saves a lot more time
compared to having to do
more than three, I guess.
One thing we forgot
to note is,
To be specific,
We are going to use a speedrun mod
Just so that it can skip unnecessary movies and stuff
And just a lot of nice quality-of-life
stuff. Yeah funnily enough
even though the mod does remove FMVs
and stuff, like they pre-rendered cutscenes
you're gonna see it in this mission
especially actually.
The game will kind of just pause and place...
Like the game can't progress until like
It is kinda like
The amount of time that pre-rendered cutscene would have filled
It's hard to explain, you'll notice it
at the end of this mission.
But yeah we're doing this big out of bounds right here
to go straight into this
facility right here. This loyalty mission is also
pretty fast so we need Jack loyal
because we
need a biotic and a tech
specialist, and then the leader, which Jacob
is going to fulfill. But for
the biotic specialist you can only get jack and samara i think
and also uh what i forgot what her like her daughter's name is mara's daughters
yeah yeah but yeah getting samara and making your loyal that El takes way too long compared to just doing this.
Yeah, Samara's recruitment mission is also really long.
It's super long, yeah.
And it's a very, very annoying mission if you do for as part of the all loyalty missions?
Yeah like one of the few like missions in the game that also does not have any skips on it.
After this fight we got another puzzle We gotta do right here
So a lot of this is
Have you failed that yet to do the whole thing again?
It's not a big deal here but
For the more like bigger missions
It's a bigger deal. There is one specific puzzle
We'll call it out when we get to it where like
It is actually very scary but besides that
It's mostly chill i'm a dangerous yeah so we're pretty much kind of like cruising along
if you wanna there's not much to it we will be using the cane here if you want to read one or
two donations all right we have eight that's really bad I might die. Uh oh.
Are we good?
Yeah. Okay.
We have a $10 donation from Blizzard Maine
that says,
I should go, I should go. I should go.
I should go.
We also have a $25 donation from Beanie Feeney that says,
these donations are having a massive effect.
Keep them coming, y'all.
I agree. We are almost
$5,000 away from $400,000
total. Let's do that during this run!
I believe in you, chaps.
Yeah, you solved all your problems here with the cane. Hooray! That's a pretty good summary of a lot of this speedrun.
So here is the weird effect that comes with the speedrun mod coming up pretty soon. I mean, I'm not going to say anything just watch chat.
Oh man, I forgot about this! I forgot about this!
There's a pretty funny bit at the end of this cutscene.
Yeah? Oh. If you thought that was funny, there's even better ones.
I have the hurricane huh?
Alright so as you see we got the heavy ship armor
and now we just need to do one more mission before
yeah so uh just doing one more n7 mission here that's technically what they're called
in the game it's like these little side missions like throwaway emissions
that technically progress the game so we can get to the next major story mission which is the uh...
...collector ship. And this one is really really fast you're gonna see why. This one legit takes like 20 seconds.
Sounds like a perfect amount of time for a donation yeah
absolutely we have a 25 dollar donation from holly that says i always try to catch
san john's runs and mass effect runs so there was no way I was going to miss this.
Thank you so much!
Alright, we use a cane on the
crates. They're safe from
nukes, but they're not
safe for mechs. Perfect donation life!
That was a one-donation mission.
Alright, so
we needed to do a total of five missions before
we could unlock this mission here.
And honestly there's not very much to this mission but
plot-wise they kind of discover hey,
that there is this lead that we can get information on the
collecter ship here.
And we can get some important information to him
on the collectors and why they're kidnapping people.
That's basically a
CliffsNotes version of... Yeah I think also
like that's where they reveal that the collectors are like profians.
Which is this ancient race established in the first game. It's a really major story spoiler but besides that it's mostly just whole W to the end.
You can read like a minute of donations absolutely we have a 100 donation from
zig that says hyped beyond measure for this mass effect run. Go, Sanjan!
And we have a $25 donation from Tony that said
had to donate during
one of the best trilogies
I've ever had
the pleasure of playing.
Good luck, Sanjan!
We have a $5 donation from Jason... Good luck, Sanjan.
We have a $5 donation from Jason that says Hello from Australia!
Great to see Mass Effect 2 the best game ever being run
If a squad mate dies today I i might cry well good luck good thing you're not gonna be crying
we also have a ten dollar donation from bridget that says here's to
a speed run of my favorite game, Calibrating.
We have a $50 donation from Ye Olde Ginger that says
Looking forward to Mass Effect 2, one of the best games of its time. It wouldn't be right
if we didn't save them all so here's $50
to help save the animals, I mean comrades
and
we have a $100 donation
from James Big Mac that says, I'm Commander Shepard
and this is my favorite speedrunning marathon
on the Citadel. Y'all are just coming in
with your favorite Mass Effect quotes
there's a lot of them. Let us know
what's going on in your favorite donate.
That's right. We are almost 5,000 Let us know your favorite. Donate.
That's right! We are almost $5,000 away from that $400,000.
And we have a $100 donation from Kalubi that says for Geras Vakarian and Talizora Vos Normandy, the best
companions a shepherd could hope for.
Good luck on the run.
Alright, so
we have cheated death to skip an entire platforming kind of like autoscroller segment here and...
Yeah that auto-scroller is literally one of the hardest parts of the game I think.
And right now were going to do another quick kill of the hardest parts of the game i think
and right now we're going to do another
quick kill
nice little that was good flashy trick
kill right there
also uh yeah not in my head canon
everyone that looks like i think that's pretty Not in my head canon, everyone.
That was like the... I think that's pretty much like the second one you faced but yeah.
Yeah, like the funny thing is with how fast
he killed him, you literally don't even see
him on screen. But yeah, like we went ahead
and skipped an entire auto-scroller
and then jumped in
and hit the precise trigger
to spawn the boss
right as we killed him
and it's probably
the fastest way to do this.
There is actually another skit
that we found for this mission that can help take you all the way to do this. There is actually another skit that we found for this mission that can
help take you all the way to the end, but it's
actually one of the few story missions in the
entire game where if you
don't hit every single specific progress flag
which is opening that door, I think it's like tied to the ED
voice line. You will just get to the end and stop
block your game. It's just like a perm up black screen.
Here's our best friends here.
Totally. The Scions, they are very
overtuned. I hate seeing them. them yeah they're the worst enemy in
the game in my opinion even in the speed run they are super
super annoying
and we're getting to the end right here mark our way through and then we're getting to the end right here.
Mark our way through and then we're coming up to probably like
the one biggest, probably the most scariest part.
Yeah, Reaper IFF which
we can do right after this as the next major story beat and it contains
probably the biggest skip that we have found recently uh it saves about 30 seconds we'll talk
about it a little bit when we get to it. It's your call, Commander.
But it is probably one of the tougher skips in the game I would say.
Also a little bit harder where dependent...
It depends on how many enemies are on screen.
Yeah so I'll probably give it a couple tries here i think i'm pretty sure we are making
like quite good pace honestly so i'll give it a couple tries but if not then
we'll still do it the ordinary way it only loses like 20 30
like 20 30 seconds but failing that is like a 20 second time loss
and I will probably call for serious time on this
The entire mission is extremely scary
You're gonna see the eye of the hurricane. There's a specific reason for that.
Yeah, I said that line. If you thought that last bit of Jack eye-rolling us was funny funny wait till you see this
all right squad mates
yeah that's the free runner cutscene fun here.
I was gonna say There's a second ship alongside the Reaper. It's not transmitting any IFF, but the
LADAR paints its silhouette as gas.
I guess we know why the science team stopped reporting in.
Stare?
What just happened?
The Reaper's mass effect fields are still active,
We just passed inside their envelope.
I have the hurricane, huh?
It's so funny every time.
It's like the line at the end is just 10 out of 10
brilliance. Yeah, it looks like Gmod
So I guess to quickly explain this replay It looks like G-Bot. Yeah, it does!
So I guess to quickly explain this replay for Anthos segment
I had to basically be in between two loading planes here
and using the tactical menu
And if I don't get it then I'm dead and am dead. And I had to waste a lot of time
trying again so...
We're pretty much gonna go run through here
and it's kinda basic- I basically have to hold it long enough
but sometimes my trigger finger is not great at it
I can't hold it for too long though, but i'm gonna call for serious time uh
right about here because i need to put out my pistol. All right get locked in
nice in
nice it's not over it's not over but yeah that went ahead and just like skipped like the first half right there it saves around like 30 seconds
so the real scary part is we're going to go through a lot of scions here and they
like to interrupt you and there's basically like a very time
dependent puzzle here so they love staggering you so much.
Yeah, like that.
Oh.
This is what can happen right here.
This part is so bad.
Like, this part... Watch his hand coming
with this part back.
Do this part
like brought-back memories
of dying here?
Oh, Miranda died.
That's not great.
Oh, no.
They're both dead.
Okay, I'm just gonna... Might have to kill both these guys dead, okay I'm just gonna...
Might have to kill both these guys then.
Yeah, I'm just going to kill both of these and back up.
So normally you would just kill this first Scion right here
And do the puzzle
And hopefully do it fast enough
so that the other
Scion cannot interrupt you. If you take any damage
during this puzzle, it just takes you back out of
it and you gotta do it again. It really sucks.
Alright, that's the reason I have to
mission over. That was the scariest part of this entire run!
There is not much to this, it was just basically kining a core.
Yeah normally this is like a boss fight
that takes forever because you have to fight it in cycles and it closes for so long.
But yeah with the cane you just insta-kill it.
And there we got Legion who we are not going to see in this run unfortunately.
We'll see him very briefly.
Yeah, well we'll show it off.
Alright so basically generally like casual playthrough wise people will tell you don't do the Reaper IFF mission until you're ready.
There's a very good reason for that because after three more missions of the Reaper or after Reaper IFF
You get a special cutscene and then you're kind of like rushed.
Yeah, that's basically like it's a kind
of a soft point of no return I would say just why
like yeah, a lot of people tell you
hey don't do that mission until
you are like ready to finish the game basically.
So this cheap we're grabbing
a Tally loyalty mission in a cheeky little skip there.
Yeah, I bet you can't even stay inbound on the Normandy squad!
There is actually some pretty wacky stuff that you could do onto Normandy but because
you can't aim and thus melee abuse very easy to get soft locked actually makes sense
so you got tally here and that's actually like a really cool vert cold trip that
you can do here otherwise this is like honestly like a very short mission
first off more staring though yeah
little stare from
tally and joker
requesting permission to dock with the So I have to do this somewhat precise trick here. If you saw the one that I had to do similar to Jacob,
I had to spam a conversation wheel, and I had to scan the conversation wheel.
Come on, don't roll your eyes!
If I did it right then uh...
I skipped two minutes of cutscenes. If we, if I don't get it right then
we are watching 2 minutes of cut scenes so hopefully that won't happen
I dunno the cut scene's so far been pretty funny
Alright so I'm gonna do this quick save and quick load here.
I think you got it. That should be good.
Oh!
All right nice.
So just something that show off here like there Oh. Alright, nice. That's fine.
So just something to show off here like they're
kind of like in a little
huddle crowd there.
Yeah, it does
when you do this type
as like glitch right here
it doesn't load the NPCs
in properly
so they're all like
banded together over there.
It's normally this really big trial sequence you know?
But uh...
We're just hanging out in the corner
doing small talk.
And we're gonna go ahead and write to the end here. This is probably one of the fastest missions in the entire game, actually.
There's very little action going on.
There is a big...
I would say this game has a lot of these like things where
like you can do like a renegade or like a paragon interrupt
probably the most iconic like paragon interrupted knee hole series that's
i'm guessing sandian is gonna do even though it's slower
yeah i told you i would make it up to tally
i will uphold myself to that promise but yeah we got to find tallies dad
i wonder where he is a lot of dad missions and yeah a lot of A lot of dad missions in this game.
Yeah, a lot of mom and dad uh...missions in this game.
Oh, I should have brought some-just like the best therapist.
Alright.
They're wrong!
You wouldn't just die like this!
You would-
Bernard's a hugger friend...
...when you're feeling down.
Oh, okay.
Hug a friend, use the cane. It's so funny they talk about oh man they've been gone for hours!
We went there back in like i don't know this fandom
yeah well it only took like two minutes yeah so again if you ever make sure to
just make one that says hug a friend use the cane.
If I messed up that dialogue,
it'd be really bad.
That's a very big dialogue option right there because yeah, that depends if tallie gets exiled or not the paragon
option right there is like the fastest one but uh yeah if you accidentally do choose the renegade
option uh tally will straight up just be really rolling at you. I did the slower dialogue, oh well
have more tally
It's fun watching you shout
Thanks Tali
We can use this.
Alright, and that's all three of our loyal squadmates.
Yeah we just need to do one more mission here then we're gonna go ahead and like make our way towards
the end game. And this last one's, like, really fast
too. Also very, very broken.
Just one more N7
mission just to speed things up.
So if you want to read
a couple, like about a minute or two of donations,
then you've got some time.
All right, thank you so much!
We have a $50 donation from KevMain that says
Hi Sanjan! Super happy I'm able to catch one of your run live show my support and donate
to an amazing cause all at the same time we have a 250 donation from anonymous
that says i'm commander shepherd and this is my favorite donation on the Citadel.
We have a $25 donation from Phelan and Iggy
that says cheers from us and our two dogs, Tally Zora and Garris.
We have a $50 donation from Anya that says
Once again chilling out melting into the couch
And watching GDQ with my husband
A wonderful biannual tradition And one of the first things we did as
together as a couple super excited for the mass effect 2 run
and we have a 50 donation from Chase that just says Mass Effect!
Woo!
Alright, so coming up here is one of the weirdest plot decisions they've made.
We basically took all our squadmates
to go on some kind of mission here and surprise, surprise
Guys it'll be totally fine if we leave the Normandy completely
undefended. what could possibly go wrong
i'm telling you oh yeah this is like probably the funniest eye moment in this game.
To who?
Ah! Not like this, Joker. Why do you look so scary now? Alright, so this is like the only section where
one of the few sections where you don't play a shepherd. It's basically just a whole walking simulator,
but we also have to explain the mechanics
of the final mission which is pretty convoluted so
Mae would you like to take that?
Yeah because Sanjan did my loyalty mission of being a great runner and friend I decided that I would bring back my famous bit one last time.
And let's explain the final mission, the giant flow chart that is the final mission. So there's three parts. We start with the approach. If you upgraded your armor and your ship everything good otherwise Jack dies.
If you upgrade your shield everythings good otherwise a non-mech party member dies in this order.
Kazumi first then Tally then Garrus then Zayid then Grunt.
Then finally the weapons check if you upgraded the cannons. If yes nothing bad happens.
If no then a party member dies.
Gareth, Syed, Grunt, Jack in that order.
Page two the base.
First off the vents we have to know who
the specialist is if you pick Kasumi
Legion or Tally that's good. If you pick anyone else the specialist
dies. Is the specialist loyal?
Then we go to the next check.
If the Fireteam 1 leader is Miranda
Jacob or Garrus and they're loyal then the specialist
lives. If any of those are not true, the Specialist dies. Next part
The Bubble Zone or The Long Walk
whatever you want to call it. Two things
here. First, who's the Specialist? Is it Jack
is it Samara? Yes, if they're loyal
no deaths. Otherwise a party member dies in this order.
Thane, Jack, Garrus, Legion, Grunt, Samara
Jacob, Morton, Tally, Kasumi, Zaid
Write that down. Now who's leading fire team 2?
Is it Miranda? Great! They're good
Miranda doesn't even have to be loyal. That's great!
If it's Jacob or Garrus, they do have to be loyal.
Otherwise the fire team leader dies.
Then part three, the escort. Do you send an
escort? If you don't, you probably should
because all of the crew members died.
Otherwise, if they're loyal there's no deaths.
If they're not loyal then the escort dies.
Finally, the crew.
How many commissions have you completed after opening the Omega 4 relay?
The answer should be none. Because you did any one to three half
the crew dies if he did four uh or more all crew except for dr shark was guys so
but don't do that next up part three the true end game first the final fight any long loyal party members die that means
the ones you took with you for the fight second hold the line uh it's the average
rank of your teammate points watch this it says consult the table please hold party members give a number
of points based on their stats and whether they're loyal or not if they're loyal they
get an additional point grunt garrison zaidi gives each give 3 points. Thane, Legion
and Samara, Jacob AND Miranda all give 1 point. Jack, Kasumi, Tally and Morden
all give 0 points. And of course if they're loyal then those go up to 4, 2 and 1 respectively
I need the other one back. Oh, yeah.
Consult the other table!
Based on how many teammates you have
The average rank determines what you need to get in your score for things to be good.
And by that I mean, you need to get two points. If you don't get two points then people die.
There's a whole chart and it's all of them if you do bad.
Teammates die in this order, Morton then Tally then Kasumi then Jack then Miranda
then Jacob then Garris then Samara then Legion then Thane then Zayid then Grunt
However non-Loyal Point party members die before
Loyal Party members.
Finally, does Shepard live?
How many party members are still alive?
If it's 0 to 1, Shepard dies.
And if it's 2 or more, Shepard lives in Mass Effect 3 becomes
canon
thank you so much made for that wonderful explanation I learned a lot good can you repeat it I'm commander
Shepherd and and the party members are this party member member order was lowkey my favorite rhyme?
I think it might have come close.
I'm actually surprised they flowed that well, you know.
Me too!
You could do the new Mass Effect rap...
The parallel universe to the Pokérap
Warden, Tally, Kasumi, Jack
Gotta save them all, gotta save them all.
All right so if we've done all of this right
everyone will live up to this part.
Consult the manual.
The manual is like all over the floor, yeah.
This is kind of illegible.
We tried.
So there's going to be a long series of cutscenes here
And then they're just gonna be in between where we just hit stuff. There's gonna be an enemy so Bobby take it away
Awesome, we have a $50 donation from the Sound Defense that says,
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite.
World freezes.
I suddenly rolled back into head.
All right.
So I've seen this type of donation come in and I'm going to apologize because
I know how this starts but it's been a while.
And so I don't know how it ends so So I'm going to screw up the actual part end part.
But I'm gonna try it.
We have a $10 donation from Trinity Thatcher that says
"'I am the very model of a scientist salarian.
I study species turian and saurian-baterian,
quite good at genetics as a subject of biology
I'm quite an expert which I know is in pathology
My zena studies range from urban to agrarian
I am the very model of a scientist-salarian.
Ooh!
That was good, that was good.
For not having heard it in quite some time.
Thank you so much. And we have a $25
donation from Theory of Games that says, I'm Donation and this is my favorite
Citadel on Commander Shepard.
We have a five dollar donation from Poppy that says flowchart? Quick, write that down.
At the end of the run there will be a test because otherwise not everybody gets left behind.
Chat you'll be quizzed!
No, YOU'RE getting quizzed! You have to make sure you did it right!
True...
Alright I hope y' all like the game again.
You can read more donations, sorry.
Awesome! We have a $10 donation from Kate the Grey that says,
Lifelong friends in my Mass Effect?
It's more likely than you think.
And a $10 donation from Monkey Thief that says,
Can't leave anyone behind either in Mass Effect
2 or real life. Let's
do what we can to look after
everyone.
And we have a $25 donation
from Jordan Massey that says FemShep and no one left behind?
Is there any other way to play just as long as someone is working on those calibrations? You got like maybe 30 seconds more of donations.
All right, how about this $500 donation from Zilta that says loving the runs so far.
And we have a $75 donation from Von Klaus
that says, leave nobody behind.
Love to everyone who helps put together these great events and we have a 100 donation from voitek box
that says happy to donate we're happy you donated. doing fun things for great reasons. as Corbin Mayhats Quiz Me On.
So the first person we're going to pick
is our tech specialist, who's Tally.
Good choice! That was one of the ones.
And then the second person we picked as our leader, who will be Jacob.
That was also a good one.
It's almost like you've done this before.
Yeah! Only like 100 a couple times. Warden and i would like to count all right so one thing
i need to do that's extremely important is i need to turn autosave on so generally everyone's
like turn auto save off but for this portion we can actually turn auto-save on because it helps us with a portion of the final boss.
And also in this final mission after each major portion we get our supplies restored anyway.
Yeah, we don't even need to use it for this portion right here so
like right before I think its the final auto-scroller, we're gonna go ahead and get some extra
cane ammo just in case we use it which we will uh so for this part
right here also uh we have to like click these green buttons right here to help Tali get through
these vents however, we can just skip all of this so long as we get to like the final
trigger before she dies uh we just go on to the next part so i think we didn't need
to put anybody in the events if tally's just trapped back there
oh that's a little scary i should see her to be fine
i did not expect them to like try to hit me that much.
A little bit of scary portion here, it's fine.
Gotta find that bell Shepard.
It's okay Tally we got you.
Oh! Okay. That was kinda scary.
That is really scary I was at like little one oh my god
all right we're good all right it's not supposed to be that scary
all right i i win this quiz. I picked Jack.
Yay! That's what it said.
I picked Jacob and then one
important thing, uh... I picked Hallie because we don't
need her
for this part anymore. She's not as useful as Jacob and Jack
as a reminder stay close if you want to live
all right so the next portion is what we call the bubble section.
It's very autoscroller heavy but there's a really cool trick at the end that we use with Reeve
and we'll explain it as we get there
But pretty much for this portion there's not much to say. Just gotta make sure I don't spam clickjack
So that uh...we don't get this weird glitch where she teleports
Yeah, this part is also like really weird because if you don't hit every single one of these prompts where you have to interact with whoever's holding the bubble.
If you go through the end, you will also just be softlocked.
So yeah, if that bug happens
you just have to reset like at least this portion right here
create a donation and during it you can get some you can get some donations
but this is a pretty long walk all right we have
a 100 donation from ethylone that says the normandy
is family and family means nobody is left behind
and we have a 250 dollar donation from Kavatica that says, the characters deserve to live putting my donation for femship to leave no one behind and with that
we should all go donate that's right we have less than three thousand dollars left
to get to four hundred thousand dollars we are so close y'all
with a fifty dollar donation from anonymous that says make any mass effect series fan crying
four words it had to be me no in that five words is it oh yeah it
is i just read it they're like read it as
it's written i did that well i think warden says had no have to be me yeah ah yeah because the way
of gordon speaks um we have a 50 donation from ajax that says it's always so uplifting
to see all of the hard work by all of these amazing people for such an incredible organization.
This Mass Effect 2 run is bringing back some great memories.
Thanks and keep it up!
So this last section can be quite annoying because there's sort of like randomish pattern too. Yeah, this is the one part of the final mission I would would say that can make it really
annoying. You could actually lose a run here.
It's where we have to fight these wave of husks
and also a Scion. You're going to see
why they are so annoying here.
And also in the next part of this mission right here but yeah
we just have to keep killing them until uh the part ends we use the cane back there to
just immediately clear out this wave of collectors right here
but we are going to get our heavy weapon ammo back after this
yeah so we pretty much have to take care of this and then just like juggle all of our abilities
that's where shockwave is actually quite good. Yeah this is like probably the
most, like the least used ability that we have in the Vanguard arsenal but right
here it is very very good
And so Shockwaves hits those in the mine, it's actually like quite good in these situations for non-armored enemies.
And it does go through all all these objects right here.
Oh that's... okay, whatever.
I think that was pretty good.
I did not see that abomination.
I love bowling!
Alright so...
So I didn't really explain what Reave does but
you know, like I said
seeing it, it deals really good Bionic and
Armor damage But one really cool thing is that if they have health you Siphon their HP.
And it's actually going to come into play because we're gonna take Eriba Faith.
Yeah, if we like leave this bubble right here, we continuously take damage until we die. And as you're gonna see right here is one of the primary reasons why we take Reef. Just run to the end.
And we should be good.
Alright, nice!
I got to do the last quiz here...Jack and Jacob
Yeah so for this last bit right here we do need to take Jack and Jacob because uh
at the end of this part if the squad mate is not loyal they will just immediately die
which obviously invalidates the category so uh we do have to take a jack and jacob who
are not neither of them are very good despite what like all the jack's cutscenes might imply
she's not actually that strong did i not use okay this is what they call ludonarrative dissonance
yeah so this is like a series of like straightforward but there's some unique mechanics here with the pole that you can use.
So if an enemy is under any status effect our friendly neighborhood Harvey aka harbinger cannot possess them
yeah we want to deal with harbors like as little as possible in this portion right here and just
somebody coming showing up and adding a bunch of health
and it turns out takes more time to kill yes so this expires can be a little
scary here there's a lot of enemies in our friendly neighborhood hard-and-turn.
Just gotta get through this and then...
...through these barriers. Yeah, this part can be really scary because
This is something they actually adjusted in Legendary Edition. You don't have that much ammo during
This part and some of these enemies as you're going to see in this next part, really tanky.
We do have to follow a specific ammo route right here just make sure that we are okay.
When they toss two Scions at ya man You're going to need a lot of ammo.
Easiest difficulty by the way.
Not having Miranda for this part is actually very noticeably painful.
I am doing... her service officer makes a huge difference also I hope you enjoy this big
plot reveal hey Sanjay yeah how many eyes do humans have?
Four, because I have two eyes and then I have... They got it right!
My fellow red-eyes.
Not just any Reaper. The super structure is over here.
It has four eyes!
It has four eyes?
This looks so dumb!
Look, this game had great
individual plot
but sometimes you gotta
sacrifice something.
I love this game, it's just very funny!
Alright before we deal with that
We've got to take care of some old friends
So we have to deal with this This part is also very scary right here
Harbinger can just... yeah
Oh nice, he got one deal on that ammo drop. Like you can very easily run out of ammo there.
Get this nice little 1 cycle here otherwise like those valves shut and you just have to...
Time's coming up by the way!
I'll explain the boss mechanics after because this is really fast.
Shepard, you've done the impossible.
You saved humanity! Alright, so...
Basically just gonna do this
Time is going to be coming up when we get to this black screen right here after the boss dies
And because you don't have Miranda to too a lot of damage it's got it have a little bass here just because I want to kind of like let this epic part play.
But thank you so much to GDQ for having me.
I love the Mass Effect series.
I'm a big fan of it and
for me to be able to kind of like speedrun this
and show the crowd is really amazing. A huge shoutout
to my commentators
Mike, Wade, and Courtney.
I learned so much from watching Mike
and doing this arc like typically
I run GRPG's turn-based but
running it like the Mass Effect series
which is something that way outside of
my comfort zone.
And I learned so much about like just speedrunning in general, just trying out different things.
Just to quickly explain when you load your autosave they basically kind of become more squishy and without loading that they take 70% damage rather like almost all of it but aside from
that uh do you have any childs mike or me
uh no like shout outs obviously to everyone else in the mass effect
community at the speedrunning community.
This route is like the result of at least a decade
of testing and strat hunting
glitch front hunting everything else
so it's been a long road to get it down
to this point. It used to be like an hour and a half
and now it's like an hour and eight minutes or something
so yeah, it's a lot of work.
And shout out to every single person who donated
so that we could see this really,
really cool room.
Yeah.
I got best dialogue in the game.
Sorry, I'm having trouble hearing you.
Getting a lot of bullshit.
All right, so one last thing before we go. To show you all that no one has been left behind this cutscene place normally like if someone died Shepard would be looking kind of look at their coffin or Joker depending on how it goes in those.
But basically
this cutscene will play where Shepard
kind of like pretty much looks
at the sky. So yeah.
Thank you again to everyone for supporting me
for this event and thank you very much
and I hope you all enjoy the next coming runs.
Who are you? How did you find me? It doesn't matter, for it is I the prize tracker. I wander these halls of backdrops alone, armed only with my fabulous clothes from the opposite at Six on Clothing.
My incredible sword from Cute Monster Props and Vulpin' Props, and of course this trunk
of necessities I cart with me everywhere, for without it I would have no idea
how to survive.
I am out here hunting a prize
wizard! A being of evil
energy who I have sworn
my life to destroy.
Shark Animal Familiar, tell me what you found of the prize wizard?
Right! This is a shark.
I need to employ better familiars. Get out of here!
We'll get a new familiar, it's fine.
I have already come across some
of these magical artifacts
Artifacts such as these lovely Final Fantasy buttons
Each one summonable,
capable of summoning a character
of power. How does he
fit so much power in these buttons?
How are they only a $10 minimum
donation for the set of 30 or so.
I do not know, but I will find this prize wizard
and I will destroy him,
for traces of his evil magics are everywhere across the land!
Look below me right now magics are everywhere across the land.
Look below me right now, a set of three
totems made
by the evil warlock Explosive
Action! They must summon
some kind of demonic goat monsters
who are demonstrably evil and not
friendly at all. I must
take care to avoid them, and so must you
if you get a ten dollar donation
in by the end of the friendly neighborhood later tonight.
But there are more relics of his power that I have found,
relics such as this Shepard metal art print!
It is made of metal!
How does one put art on metal? I do not understand, for I live in the woods,
the woods of Backdropia, a place where there are no metals, and there are no prints,
And there is no shepherd.
And yet it is fantastic!
A ten dollar donation made by the metal smith
Reynan Kyle of Invoking light truly a worthy artifact come my owl familiar tell me
what prizes has you found a great hall indeed i appreciate your work, you are clearly much more capable than a shark on land and of that you have earned a head pat!
Well done Al Famiglia for you have found me a lovely poster
of Mass Effect weirdos
crafted by Matt Guyver.
The direction to hold it
is uncertain. However,
it features all of the Mass Effect characters polymorphed into animals.
Only a prize wizard of massive power would be capable of such a feat!
And you would be capable of such a feat with a ten dollar donation.
Mmm, thank you Alphamilio.
I shall hold this here for later.
And what else have you found me?
A bundle! Not one prize but several
of satisfactory creatures.
Why this lizard doggo is a suitable familiar for sure.
Much better than a shark for land-based adventures
I do approve of that.
And duct tape!
Duct tape is a very important part of being in the prize backwards
you never know when you will need to take something to something else just as nuclear
waste is an important part of the prize backwards.
You never know when you will need to put a barrel of nuclear waste into your duct tape.
That is a very important skill to have,
as is this.
What is this? It is
up for you to determine, but it
probably evil and it is probably
magic and therefore it shall go in the
waste with the duct tape and
barrel. There's so many more things here!
Wrenches, patches, keychains... All of it with the evil prize wizard sent.
I cannot abide by this. All familiar, scout him out!
Alright, if anyone has a flying familiar in the area,
I am taking job applications.
Come Lizard Doggo, we march!
Need to get a lighter trunk. so great to see the master at work welcome back everyone this everyone. This is Summer Games Done
Quick 2024 powered
by Twitch. I am Mr. Gaming Shout.
I'm just getting settled in here ready for
some exciting runs coming up
but first we're going to take a quick break. So everybody takes stretch grab a drink of water but don't go too far
We have more awesome things just around the corner Y'all are way too kind.
All right, so if you can still hear me,
you're either on the VOD or in the chat
or in the audience.
I only won tonight!
Are we ready for Outer Wilds?
Because this is like...
What is this category?
This is incredible.
Like oh, no ship. All right so I usually have the opposite problem
I get in the ship
I leave without my suit
and then I die
And now you're just gonna skip the ship entirely
like this is normal
Unbelievable Let's catch up on some
donations from that last run though getting some love for the last runner we
had a 25 donation come in from precious roy
it had to be sanjan Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
How
to make a Mass Effect fan cry with five
words, goodness gracious.
Also had a $50 donation in here
from Bullrug. 400k hype and we are close you're oh so close to hitting that
400 k y'all are gonna do it it's going to be amazing i I'm gonna be happy to be here for it! so Also had a donation come in here from sentient petunias for $500. Holy cow, thank you so much for that!
Great job to all the GDQ staff. You're all doing an incredible
job this year. Thank you so much for that support.
And thank you for supporting Doctors Without Borders
We could not do this without all of you
Your donations, your love and your support
It blows us away every single event
Y'all are amazing so so so so so so You're entering the Doritos dimension.
Zoom in to the zesty taste of nacho cheese,
feel the electric bolt of bold cheesy flavors
and explore every mind-blowing angle.
Try another angle with Doritos Nacho Cheese. so so 400 400,000 dollars raised for Doctors Without Borders.
Y'all are incredible! Please keep that love coming, peep those
donations coming. Once again
this is Summer Games Done Quick 2024
I'm Mr. Gaming Shot hanging out with you
as we get finished getting ready for this Outer Wilds
run and y'all
400, 000 already simply incredible
thank you so much everyone who is donating helping us support doctors without borders
every donation genuinely counts.
400k is a huge number, but you know all of your donations add up and make a difference
even a $5 donation
You send 5 dollars to MSF
They can buy 4 treatments
To cure adult patients from malaria They can buy four treatments to cure adult patients from malaria.
They can provide five rapid tests to diagnose HIV infection
or enough vaccine to immunize 13 children against measles.
When we tell you every donation counts, that is what
we mean. The difference that you can make is massive.
Alright, getting word that we are ready to go.
Outer Wilds, base game 100% shipless.
I have no idea what we're in for.
I don't know if you're ready for it, but let's get into it anyway.
P.T. Minsker my friend the stage is yours.
All right.
Hey, I'm KT Minsker. We'll be doing
100% base game shipless
in Outer Wilds. I'm joined by
Brungo on the commentary couch
back there and also two of the developers
of this game.
If the two of you would like to...
If the two of you
would like to introduce yourselves
and what you did on the game?
Sorry. Oh, sure oh sure Hi I'm John Oppenheimer
also known as Toasty
I am a 3D artist and visual effects artist
on the team
I started work on DLC then I touch the base game in patches and console ports?
Hi, I'm
Jeffrey. I am one of the
software developers at Mobius
and basically if you
noticed my work,
I did something wrong.
And I'm sorry about that.
So yeah, lots of things in the back end.
Oh yeah and I'm Brungo.
I'm just some guy.
Alright so quick question Oh yeah, and I'm Brunko. I'm just some guy. So quick thing before we get started in the run...
This is a game that's very sensitive to spoilers.
It's 100% run, we're going to be going everywhere in the game.
We are gonna be playing through the ending so there is going to be very major spoilers
so you have been warned.
With that let's get started I'll give you a countdown.
Okay.
Three, two, one, go!
Let's go.
So normally the way that you're supposed to start off Outer Wilds is by running through
the village.
You interact with a bunch of tutorial elements, talk to an NPC named Hornfels who gives you
the code to take an elevator up your spaceship,
and a statue stares at you
and you go on your merry way.
That's slow because walking is slow
so what we're going to do instead
is set-up a very specific position in angle
which is setup right now.
So the next time this geyser erupts in the middle of the village
we're gonna walk into it
and assuming favorable RNG
We are right at the ship, no launch codes required.
Unfortunately we can't skip hornfels entirely for a couple of different reasons so
we're just going to pick up the jetpack and get over to them much quicker
and then go activate that
statue cutscene I was talking about earlier. We can actually
delay the cutscene to basically
wherever we want by passing a trigger and then using
the jetpack to float, and it doesn't start until we hit the ground.
So we're just going to take it a little bit outside of the museum
for this category because there's an NPC
that we need to talk to here named Hal
who will appear as soon as this little memory flashback, or flash forward is over.
The game resets which takes our suit away which is slow so we're going to talk about how while falling to our death...
Good run!
GG!
Dying both
gets us back closer to the ship
but more importantly it brings us onto Loop 2.
We need to be on Loop 3 for this speedrun so Pt is immediately going to walk into a fire and die.
That's because there's a shiplog that's only available on loop 3 or later.
And the main way we're going to be ending loops in this run
is by quitting to the Main Menu, which doesn't increment the Loop Counter
So we have to take two deaths at some point in the run
It's fastest to do it here at the start.
And then, we're basically set. We are on the right loop
The time-loop has started
and it is time to collect some ship logs
The goal is 100 all shiplog completion without using
the thrusters of our ship um the main mechanic that's going to make
that possible is about to be shown right here. It's called Scout
Boosting. When you shoot
your scout in this game, it imparts a little bit of backwards
momentum which can enable you
to accelerate much faster than you're supposed to
be able to with the jetpack.
As we can see here,
graphically shooting and recalling the scout.
And you may be wondering
where are we going first and foremost?
Well naturally we're routed
to something that is potentially reset-worthy.
So we're gonna go straight for the Sun Station.
Now if you've played this game
The Sun Station will probably be pretty, you know, scary to even think about.
It's in very low orbit around the sun go figure based off of the name which means that it is moving very fast
Which makes it difficult when when you have low thrust
power to dock with.
It's coming around now...
And this is without a
ship, which is way harder
Yes you're not even expected necessarily
to be able to do this with the ship for a casual run
Looks like it might be salvage block. Oh, no.
No!
Ah, close.
So this is why this is routed at the beginning because in a non-marathon setting that would be reset.
But probably good time to point out that things move fast in space and your body is very fragile.
So having some deaths in a marathon setting is not at all unexpected.
So we'll just be heading right back over to it.
Anyway, I've been yapping. What do the devs think about shipless sun station?
Um...I can't do that!
Uh...I can do it with the ship.
Yeah, I mean, it's one of our toughest achievements in the game and
PT is just casually doing it with no ship at all
which is like multiple times harder.
With the scat boosting... Normally you would have to
they're both bound to the same button but having them bound to different buttons means
you don't need to hold the
retrieve button in order to
retrieve the scout. So
you can just do this instantly if you banged
the different buttons.
So, if you guys want to try doing it...
Yeah.
Don't start with the sun though.
There's a large skill gap for
or skill expression I guess
for scout boosting. You can go a lot faster or slower depending on basically how good you are at the rhythm. There's like a specific rhythm to it.
This one isn't looking good either.
Yeah, that one we didn't quite get close enough.
So gravity is simulated in outer
wilds and so it's not
like a scripted path. PT
is really trying to get an orbit of the sun and then
modulate their distance
to and from it in order to reach the Sun station?
It's real orbital mechanics at play. Out of all
astronomical objects there, the sun probably has
most realistic gravity.
It's hard to have realistic gravity when you have a tiny
solar system with planets
only a few kilometers across.
Yeah. I mean, it's like you know...
What is that they say? That you need to have a degree in theoretical physics
In order to truly understand Rick and Morty or whatever. It's like in order to really appreciate
Outer Wild Speedrun you have to have a good understanding of orbital mechanics
i would think it's really a thinking man's game the crowd's got that covered
we all look like or mechanical kitchens to me i think it's more of a don't think feel sort of thing so Looking good. and the That is shipless hotshot. Incredible, and if you want to see it done in one try,
PD did a first try last year at GDQ, I think.
Consistency is there!
Now we can go to our first proper planet which will be Giant's Deep
and have a little bit of a scout boosting journey on the way over there so we could probably squeeze in a donation on the way over absolutely
let's start with a $25 donation here from Guy
I'm a strong independent Hearthian who doesn't need any shit
I also real quick want to go ahead and remind everybody we have an incentive open for the
next game undertale yellow to get that all golden items upgrade
we do need to get that met by the start of the next run we've got a little over seven
thousand dollars left to get there so please keep your donations coming for that.
So
on the way
to Giant's Keep the first stop
there is going to be the orbital probe cannon
which is not going to be nearly as difficult to dock with as a
sun station because it's not moving nearly as fast um it is a bit of a journey to get over
here scout boosting is powerful but it's not quite as powerful as a ship.
So the interplanetary distances
are still pretty relevant
which is one of
things that makes this category kind
interesting I think, is that routing the actual
life space between planets is a lot more meaningful
when you move between them so slowly.
One thing that you're going to want to be paying attention
to in general during this speedrun
is that yellow bar at the top left underneath the
little dude and ui uh that's the fuel gauge which kind of determines a large amount of
the routing when the fuel runs out on your jetpack,
your mobility is severely restricted so a big part of the routing is getting
between the different jet pack refuel points Should we explain real quick why it's in Russian?
Oh, yeah. We can do Russian too.
You want to take that since you've come from abroad? I mean...
I would have expected that Russian would not be as fast as it is
but it seems like the font itself
is making this faster.
Which is also why
I believe because I've been told that
Polish is the second
fastest language and they both use the same font.
Yeah, there we go it's the OTC. So the main way that you get shiplogs for
the most part in Outer Wilds is by translating Nomai text. And yeah,
the translator tool, the speed at which the translation actually goes through
is language dependent. Which it doubles as an extra spoiler shield unless...
I mean assuming most people
watching probably don't speak Russian.
Although you're
going too fast to really... He's blazing through all those
Yeah, he probably wouldn't be able to read it anyways.
But yeah.
And a little optimization here is that there's a large animation
when this orb has to go down before the computer rises up
to get the shiplog, so PT just flips
to the other side of
the ceiling and does some reading while that animation is going on.
We'll also notice PT doing some partial
reading instead of reading the entire conversation
he's only going through and reading
the specific dialogue
that actually triggers the ship entry
or the log entry.
Which is a pretty simple optimization
but does require a lot of memorization.
Basically you have to memorize how much you're actually supposed to read
for every single conversation in the game.
That's a lot!
And that's the critical fuel notification.
Yeah we are low on fuel but we're just heading down the gravity well for the most part here so
you should be head straight to the refill point
all goes well point look as well Something interesting about Giant's Deep is the gravity is way higher, so the scout boosting
is going to be doing even more work than normal because your jetpack kind of gets overpowered.
Yeah, the scout boosting on Giant's Deep is not nearly as powerful as it is on other planets.
Let's see... powerful as it is on other planets. So we're dropping down next to Gabra's Island here, which
is good because Gabra's Island does have jetpack refills so we're gonna go grab that real quick.
And we get picked up, which honestly in this case is probably good because
we were out of fuel
being in zero G makes it easier to navigate around here
can we take those yeah i'd like to get to bramble island construction
yeah so typically
we would be doing
ramble island first
I think the OPC
entry was a little
bit slow there
which is why
the islands
weren't in the
expected places, basically.
The Giant's deep loop in 100%
is very timing dependent because
the islands wander around
so if you don't make your normal timing or normal cycle, things can kind of be in places that you don't expect them to.
But...
There are paces they might even intersect. They're not so close to each other.
Oh yeah we call that ship abomin- or uh...
island abomination when the
islands collide with each other and just get stuck
together. Yeah I think you'd have one fall
on another even because they're- They're not supposed to
but I don't know sorry everybody We could get a donation in here while we're just navigating, trying to find the next island.
Absolutely! I have a $50 donation from lizzie berry 22. spaceship go oh wait this is shiftless
scout launcher go This is the unfortunate knock-on effect of getting off cycle for these islands, because
now we're just trying to find an island at this point
i never thought i'd see that splash particle effect play so many times in a row.
It looks pretty goofy when you're fully underwater and this splashes,
you're just coming off like vertically or whatever...
Okay Yeah. So we managed to find the construction yard here.
Where you just kind of see him gliding effortlessly through all the gravity wells but
yeah light work honestly
never quite got to that skill level when doing play tests. Me neither, from just playing. One of the great things I think about Outer Wild Speedrunning is that when it's being done well,
It looks relatively simple. It's like oh you're flying from one place to the other
place. And then you try to do this yourself and
just smack into something and die. Your character doesn't really go in the direction that
you would hope it would go.
At least, that's my experience with it.
I mean...you're basically
It's like a slow motion S, right? Where you're the bullet.
That's a good way of thinking about it.
We'll be talking to Gabbro here.
Gabbro is the reason why we needed
to be on the third loop, or the other
character who is aware of the time loop with us which means
they have unique dialogue on Loop 3 that gives a shiplog so
thank you for forcing us to self-immolate.
And we're going to be grabbing another refuel
Now we are looking for Statue Island that's the last island we need to do
That's Statue Island
And assuming it might take a second for it to come up over the horizon, we could get another donation.
Absolutely! I have a five dollar donation here from The King's Pride
What a beautiful journey through the Outer Wilds this is. Who needs a spaceship to explore these
heavenly bodies, these great spheres, these majestic orbs? Donation goes to
upgrade to all golden items in Undertale Yellow.
And yes, we are just over $5,000 away from that now so please keep those donations coming!
I love the affectation on her voice there.
Yeah, that was my best terrible Carl Sagan.
Oh, you know, I heard George Takei but...
Whoever you heard is probably better than whoever I was going for so
I'm gonna take the compliment. Awesome!
Here's Statue Island
managed to find it
without too much difficulty
Again, scout policing helps navigating through here but it's not
quite enough to just fully knit you know ignore the gravity well on giant steep like
it is for other planets it's clear on the other side. Oh, I know.
So right now if PT is looking for,
I believe correct me if I'm wrong,
a campfire to sleep at because clearing gravity
or giant deeps, gravity wells are difficult
or maybe straight up impossible with this scout ghost thing.
We want to sleep at a campfire until the island that it is on
is picked up by a tornado and then use that to get out of the gravity well
so we can go over the North Pole.
Unfortunately...
Unfortunately Gabor's Island which had the fire was clear on the other side of
the planet and it just got picked up.
Gabbro's island come home please!
That is construction art.
Can you just tape this tornado?
I can, but I really need the refill of that. It is going to land on top of me.
Oh no! Oh, no.
Incredible. There's an island falling out of the sky and crushing us.
So just keep in mind remember the themes of the game are about how the universe is a cruel and deadly place that cares not for your mortal ambitions.
Here we go.
That kind of makes things easier. it should be pretty easy to get back to Gavro's Island from the start.
True! We got out of Giant's Teeth Gravity Well because now we're on Timberheart.
That is true! Look at those clever puzzle solving skills.
The puzzle solution is dying... minor spoilers, but I can say for what.
Anyway, another scout boo section so we could run a donation or two?
Absolutely!
I have $50 here from churlington beescoat the third
esquire outer wild shipless and devon couch let's see if we can add no missed incentives
to the stack with all golden items and yes again we are just about
to cross 10 000 of the 15 000 that you need there gamesdonequick.com donate scroll down to the bottom
of the page click on the added incentives buttons make sure that you are making all golden items
happen we also have a hundred dollar i'm sorry a fifty dollar donation from enigma requiem
outer wilds is a truly moving experience,
one I wish for all my friends to have.
Be brave, hatchling!
Be brave?
Throw yourself into the abyss.
Okay. Be brave. Throw yourself into the abyss. Alright, so we're coming up to Giant Steve trying to get over the North Pole...
Actually look- Oh my god!
That's an overshoot, yeah? So we're going to have to try it again?
I'm wondering... do devs have a favorite planet? again?
I'm wondering,
do devs have a favorite planet?
So the most common answer I hear is Bird of Hollow. Got a lot of Bird of Hollow
fans on the dev team.
I do hear that answer a lot.
I will say an interesting thing about Giant's I do hear that answer a lot. I have thoughts.
I will say an interesting thing about Giant's Deep
my coworker told me, which is
it was the first planet to receive
final art treatment
after we redid our style.
And so in her words,
it's a little jankier than the others, but I think it has a nice charm to it.
I like Giant Steve.
Giant Steve is nice.
I've had good memories of Giant Steve.
I remember when statue island was first shown to me by alex and
he asked me to test it and i just like trying to figure out how
to get in there and then I just looked up from the sky
and like oh, there's a hole underneath that falls on me.
Oh it landed on you? It landed inside of me yeah. And Alex was like well
I guess... guess yes it worked
i didn't figure it out the island figured me out if you haven't been able to tell on the difficulties of using scout
vision to navigate is that requires you are not looking at where you're going yes yeah i tried
to practice it a little bit when I was preparing for commentary and stuff
and it's really hard to teach yourself don't look where you're going, you've got to look
the opposite way.
Okay.
So I'm thinking the strategy here is that rather than trying to get to the North Pole directly, we're just going
grab an island? Go to Gabbro's Island and refuel.
The next segment is pretty tight on fuel, so it's important to get the refuel.
That makes sense.
You want to explain what Giant Speed is your favorite planet? Oh, yeah. Well it's the one that's not time loop sensitive compared
to like the other major planets,
which makes you kind of chill to explore. It's also generally harder
to die there. You don't have as many hazards I would think
it's just...I mean unless a statue or an island falls out of the sky on your head
are there chances that ever happening?
So we finally got to the fire
I'll say for this purposes of a speed run,
the time spent sleeping is not timed.
It's detracted from your final time because
the time that you sleep at
is hardware dependent.
So that makes sleeping very efficient for a lot of
different speedrun things.
So we finally got picked up on the island.
We'll be trying to fall back down onto the North Pole.
Sleeping is dependent on your CPU, because we gotta simulate everything while you're asleep.
You can't just cut to black and then
reappear with everything else
in place.
Yeah, the whole physics simulation needs
to be running
while you're sleeping.
Oh, there we are in the dark.
Beautiful.
So here's a Tower of Quantum Trials, it's kind of... I think it's almost like
the most directly puzzly little part of the game in that they just straight up give you some
actual puzzles to try and solve. For the most part, we're just going
be doing them as intended
except fast with a couple
of exceptions.
So here we can scout
boost over this ledge to fall down,
which is a little bit faster.
And then we can skip taking a picture of this one
with a very difficult Scout Boost that was hard
but we got it there.
Nice.
Beautiful.
You'll notice that PT is flicking his...
nice, yeah
PT is flicking his map on and off
in order to manipulate quantum objects
In this case he's using it
to get the tractor beam
that catches him to go away so that
he can fall faster, because the tractor beam is part of
a quantum object.
And in general
opening and closing the map is going to be
The main way to manipulate quantum objects in the run
Because it's fast and also has some kind of unique interactions
That I don't think are fully intended
Not intended but... I'll allow it. And now is Tower of Quantum Trials.
So all that's left is from North Pole to the South Pole. We're going below the surface of the core, or below the current to the car. Looking for that counter cyclone.
Is it consistent where
it is, BT? I've never seen you have to look around for it.
Yeah, it's always in the same place.
Cool.
This part I know isn't fully consistent.
Oh, definitely not.
Trying to find a jellyfish that's in a right position
and at a right point in its cycle is
pretty heavy point of RNG for the run.
It's actually really good RNG here.
Oh, let's go. Making up some
time. Yeah, that jellyfish is perfectly
where we want it to be and already heading down.
So you're going to be spending a minimal time inside of it in order to get past the electrical current guarding the core.
Something else I learned was that the core unintentionally looks a bit like a neuron,
because it's got that electricity and branching structures.
The branching structures are the giant seed trees with the leaves removed
and scaled up.
Like, the coral is... Oh that's cool!
That's awesome.
And here we are, probe tracking module at the core.
Again, we're going to be doing a thing where while we're waiting for the animation
to play out on one side, we'll be reading text on the other side
I remember this particular animation being very hard
on people's graphics card is it i've also noted
i've noticed it's occasionally hard on people's attention spans because like
they'll uh yeah they'll put it down and
they'll think nothing is happening so long for the thing to pop up.
Write that down.
Write it down. It's important!
And there we go, that's Giant Steve.
Okay so next Okay.
So next up we're going to be
Going to the quantum moon, beating
Everybody's favorite well maybe some
People's favorite friend and we'll going for the quantum moon around Brittle
Hollow.
Quantum Moon can appear around any planet in this system
and in any position, in any orbit
around that planet which makes it a point of rng as well
um technically i think with perfect rng it would be faster to go to the quantum
moon around timber hearth but uh its average is out to be a lot better
to go to brittle hollow because you're always going to be moving towards
it instead of having the chance about me to turn around entirely if you get like
a bad spawn around Timberheart. So we're sleeping just a little bit in order to
get Brittle Hollow into a better position.
A lot of the little mini-sleeps you'll see at the start of the runs is just getting the positions
of the planets closer together
or closer to where we want them to be
to minimize having to scout this.
Accidentally going past it. it again we're using the map to manipulate quantum objects oh there we go that's pretty good right yeah it's pretty good rng nice
now as we enter the quantum moon we're going to be doing a bug that i think
testy wanted to explain. Yeah, so
something interesting about this is
normally when you are on this planet there's a shrine
or at least the moon, there's a shrine
and you enter the shrine following
some quantum rules, you teleport to the sixth location where Solanum is.
And the bug here is that you can teleport while outside of the shrine
and that lets you skip some of the quantum rules to be able
to find Solanum faster. And the reason for that is that
there's a box-shaped collider that extends a little past the door
and so if you stay like next to the door you can teleport and then
PT moves to the door, you can teleport and then PT moves to the side
to avoid being
squished by
the door blocker. And then clips out of the back.
The first case of
out-of-bounds for this run.
And here's a lot of
we'd love to chat but uh i'm gonna be trying to actually breeze through
this meeting as fast
as possible, unfortunately. She's a little bit slow when it comes
to placing her rocks.
You could probably get a donation in here?
Absolutely. Let's take this
$25 donation from Corkzilla. I love watching Outer Wilds
shipless speedruns, always funny to watch someone yeet themselves across
the solar system.
And also, speaking of quantum objects I'm pretty sure this total for
golden items is a quantum object because every time
I look back it is different.
We just crossed $11,000 of the 15,000 that we need
to get there. Please
keep the donations coming.
There we go. We only needed
a couple of the possible conversations with Solanum
and we just got them all back.
To clarify about the shrine bug,
The collider I was talking about is a trigger to see if you have entered or exited.
If you haven't exited yet after turning off the door
After closing the door that's why you're able to escape yep and we're going
to be taking the new my shuttle off of uh quantum moon in order to get a couple ship
logs and also in order to go do Brittle Hollow Logs next.
After getting this quick log at
the Gravity Cannon, we're going to be going to
something that I think is a pain
point for some casual runs, getting into
the Tower of Quantum Knowledge.
The intended way to do this is never precisely hinted at
anywhere where you basically have
to wait for it to fall through the black hole.
But we can just use a black hole
to slingshot ourselves up to it with a little bit
of scout boosting the brake.
I love when people do this!
PT does it the way we wish we could have during our runs
at field.
It feels weird, like if you play it casually
it feels so weird to be up here not in zero G
just like an irregular gravity environment
because I kind of expect to find it on the other side of the White Hole.
Speaking of
the White Hole, here we are.
We're going to be picking up the ship logs at
the White Hole station and then teleporting back to
Brittle Hollow to do more stuff at the North Pole there.
White Hole
Station, yes.
And I don't think there's an immediate trick or glitch coming up, so we could do a donation or two?
Absolutely.
Let's take a $50 donation from Nux Tenma.
I love Outer Wilds!
I wish marshmallows were real.
I also have a $10 donation from Sly Dante.
It kind of goes without saying that PT Minskert blasting himself all throughout space like this deserves a donation on its own.
Loving this run, keep it up and let's get that undertale yellow incentive met.
Nice. Yeah we saw another perfect routing where we got the jetpack refuel right as we got the notification that were low on jet pack fuel
again that's kind of a big part of i don't think shake out in the route after this run
that's always fun to do. Yeah, going through at breakneck speed.
Here in the Hanging City there is basically one... i don't even know would you say that uh accessing
the black hole forge with scalp boosting like this by just scout boosting straight
up to the top which we're about to do.
Is that really unintentional or a sequence break? Because I feel like I've seen
so many different people finesse their way
up to Black Hole Forge without
doing the intended warp route.
Correct.
If you were just really obstinate with your platforming at the end,
I think you would even let out Scout Boost in.
I think it's one of those things where they work so hard for it might as well just let them.
In this case it is a lot easier to do a bit of scout boosting and get up here than to
Do the intended route which is go all the way over to Ash Twin and then teleport back.
And already get up.
Over here are some hints that we added in a patch
to help players figure out one of the particularly tough puzzles from the base game,
and technically that makes the run a little bit longer
because you have to pick up that shiplog entry, I believe.
That's true.
Although...
I think Current Patch is faster for several other reasons anyway.
Oh yeah!
I think that was added after sleeping on first loop, I want to say?
Or before?
Before my time. Okay. I don't know if it's before my time too actually
with those badges so I don't know
We're just slingshotting our way across
the inside of the cross we are heading straight from
the north pole to the south pole to get to the observatory.
There's sort of some like platforming puzzle,
or not...like a platforming section
if you get up here normally but we can just slingshot through
and pick up more dogs here normally, but we can just slingshot through. We could get more logs.
Again, we could get a donation in here. Sounds good!
Uh... some love coming in for the couch it looks like.
I've got $100 dollars here from Zavis Gaming.
I always look forward to GDQ.
So many great games and money towards amazing causes.
I'll donate again if I can get a cameo appearance from Ognerb on the couch.
That would be very difficult.
Okay,
maybe some
explanation is in order.
AugNorb is when I invert my face cam
so that I'm mirrored
because it's Brungo backwards.
I can't do that in real life.
I can't reverse my face. That would
kill me. I would have to take my face...
No, no, not gonna.
Try I would have to take my face. No, no, I'm not gonna...
Try?
I don't think a ship would help me! I don't know how a ship would help me i don't know how it should help me turn my face and set out
um hey outer wilds right right?
Thank you, Zayas. That was $100 by the way. That's incredible.
We're just going through picking up
ship logs, escape pod
old settlement
the next major thing is that
we're going to be sleeping for a long time
at Rebeck's camp
because the rest
of this loop is going to be dedicated
to Dark Bramble stuff,
which is another fan favorite planet.
Everyone loves Dark Brambles!
In this case it's actually pretty stressful for
the speedrun as well although not for the reasons that
would be casualty.
In this case, it is stressful because we are going to
sleep towards near end end of the loop
because that's when Dark Bramble passes the white hole.
And again, getting to Dark Bramble is really slow
because it's so far out and we have no ship.
So we want it to be next to the white hole
so that we can basically take a shortcut
from here to Brittle Hollow to get over there.
That means that loop time is going to be pretty tight
so we may be listening
to certain song soon.
And if you know, you know.
So wonderful song.
We've joked about using that song
to end meetings that are going on.
Why haven't we done it yet? You know, I have to agree. Some meetings make me wish for a supernovae.
That's relatable.
I think someone from my work might actually be listening. Listen,
I didn't mean that.
Let's get a donation real quick.
Uh, yes, absolutely.
Y'all are killing
me here. $200 in from fans of Toasty, please give a shout out to Toasty.
Thank you!
Also had a $25 donation from Beautiful Harmony.
I love watching my favorite exploration game get demolished.
Another $25 donation if the couch does their best rendition of The Traveler's song.
Oh god, um... Well you're not gonna let them down here on you come on! I sing
on-I sing up here all the time. You guys can do it!
It's such a stressful loop,
we gotta let PT concentrate
maybe in a bit
For real, we're seeing
Wait are we going for it?
I don't know.
Petey is entering Feldspar's camp backwards.
Like, I think that's worth pointing out.
We are going straight to the frozen jellyfish here
which normally you get from Feldspar's camp
but if you know where it is in the glacier,
you can just kind of go this way instead,
which ends up being faster.
From here we're going to be going to Feldspar,
talking to them for some ship logs, getting a refuel,
and then... then OK fine.
So how's it going?
I'll be chert.
OK what am I like Esker?
. I don't know if the mic picks up the thigh slaps.
That's probably no good for the audio, guys.
It's getting it. We've got to do that.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I got that bro.
You're all too kind... way too kind.
Okay so yes now we're going to be heading out of Feldspar's camp...
There you go. Right on track.
To the escape pod and then from the escape pod to the vessel,
now if you played this game and you're thinking quickly
you might be wondering why we are even going
to the vessel. After all don't
we need to go to the vessel again for the end of game anyway?
Because this category does include finishing the game.
Yeah, rather unfortunately there is a single log that
We need to make a second trip to the vessel for.
Basically, there's
a shiplog for picking up the dead
warp core in the vessel and placing
it inside the
little structure there.
And you can't hold two items at once, and for
the final loop you need to have the advanced corp with
you. You can't drop the advance corp
because you can't drop things in zero gravity.
Correct. So that forces you to make this entire like
nail-bitingly close end of the loop run just to place a dead warp core into his
socket but doesn't do anything. Wasn't my idea.
Oh, I'm hearing the music
start there. There it is!
Hearing those drones... Every sailor knows
that music means death!
I think I have somewhere to be.
I have somewhere to be in about negative 22 minutes.
Why did my pulse just jump 20 between the...
Oh, no!
Yeah so
we have to go fast to try to reach it there that is from what i've seen of pt
practice it's not super uncommon but it's pretty dangerous here in
dark bramble having to go that fast much more dangerous than the angular
effect actually i mean physics has no mercy on the right
side loop time will no longer be a problem Yeah.
Fortunately, it's quite a long backtrack to get back there. Yeah. We have to wait both for near the end of the loop and then we have to get all the way to Brittle Hollow through the thing.
And all that just means is more donations!
Absolutely! Let's go with
$25 from
Kevin of Computer
Harmonica Intensifies
Also $50 here from Jimmy S.
Nothing demonstrates the beauty of both this game and this run
quite like shooting yourself across the solar system
with the precision of an astrophysicist
only to be crushed by an island falling from space keep it up pt
minsker yo can we get some love for pg up here like this stuff is incredible!
Did you just smack into the Timber Hearth satellite?
No, it was a tree.
Oh that's a tree, okay.
One miscellaneous thing I can throw out here, since we have the extra time.
You may be noticing at the start of these loops...
Well you'll have to pay a lot of attention but Pt has been walking diagonally towards the ship every time pt
wakes up this is a new bug that was introduced in the latest batch just a couple of weeks ago where
walking diagonally is slightly faster than
walking forward. And it sounds really inconsequential,
it actually enables a strategy for the start of basically every
major category that saves like 24 seconds.
We didn't get to see it here today because it's not at all marathon safe,
It's really tough and the only reason it is viable
is you immediately reset when you fail it. But we can still see a little bit of time save every time Pt wakes up,
he saves about his second walking diagonally towards the ship.
For any aspiring game developers that that's a rookie mistake.
I'm curious what were you messing around with?
I was messing around with joysticks.
I was messing around with joysticks. I was messing around with the controller,
and it just somehow had a side effect that
leaked into the keyboard mouse part
And I have no idea how that happened
and I'm going to have to figure it out if we ever get a new patch app.
If. Hopefully.
Maybe. Well, I don't think
we would mind if you just keep it in.
It's kind of cool at least i think so uh we should have time for a donation or two still cause if you're sleeping a lot fantastic i've got fifty dollars
here from cage tiger i've been looking forward to this Outer Wilds
run all week. Good luck
to the runner, who needs a ship anyway?
Also checking in on that incentive with his
$10 donation from Kaiju Ashley. $10
donation train to help get the upgrade to all golden items
we will take that, we have less than $3,000 left to go
a little under twenty eight hundred dollars
to get the all golden items upgrade so please keep those coming
and a controversial donation i think from saturn new hockey here for two
hundred dollars if you're wearing a spacesuit, couldn't you
say that your suit is
your spaceship? So is this run really
shipless?
Uh...
I...
No.
I just thought of an argument why.
Do you want to hear it?
Go for it.
So ships have female
pronouns, right? You she her ship have female pronouns.
The protagonist in Outer Wilds has they them
pronouns, all the Hearthians don't have gender.
I don't think it works.
I don't think they could create a ship
with this suit that contains them.
I think it doesn't make sense.
Fair point?
Yeah, I'll accept it.
Not that I'm the authority on that, anyway.
Can I get one more donation in here? Oh yeah, sorry.
No it's good. Spoiler alert! $250 from The Prisoner.
Hey guys! Can't wait to see you all later in the game! Spoiler alert, $250 from the prisoner.
Hey guys, can't wait to see you all later in the... Wait, you're not visiting?
Okay, cool.
I'll be around whenever you're done.
No rush.
Look, look,
I submitted a 100%
shipless baseball DLC
and they didn't accept it.
Blame the games committee.
Anyway, you know even if... Even when you like do meet the prisoner
Like canon wise
You end up ending the game on a different loop anyways
So they never actually get freed
so basically no matter what you do the prisoner will
never actually meet you like in the one true timeline
so actually if you read the lore actually
we've only ever been waiting 22 minutes
well plus 22 minutes
plus an eternity
is 22
plus an eternity an eternity
or
uh an eternity in eternity?
Alright, so just another backtracking back through Dark Bramble.
We could fit in more donations even.
Absolutely.
Let's grab, I have good choices here it is hard to pick. Checking on incentive again we got a $10 donation from Blue Dino
donating to all Gold Dinos because more people need to see Starfrog.
We are now under $800 left to get that all golden items upgrade, we're so close!
Please give it one last push to get us over the line there.
We also had a $25 donation here from Matches
For the devs on the couch, was there ever any thought about putting a log on the nomai probe
since you can catch up with it keep killing it pt please don't add that
i don't think so, but that's more of a... I think that's more of an Alex question.
Yeah if we get to phone a friend maybe we can solve that one.
Alex if you're listening, a simple yes no donation
to answer the question. We are hearing this sound again
as you see PT drift through the anglerfish, he's swapping over to his controller for I think
the only time in the run in order to get a little bit of partial movement forward on the joystick.
The end times that is playing sounds scary, but I think we should have more than enough time.
Although...I should probably knock on some wood.
Is there any wood around here?
Yeah where's the wood?
We have plenty of time.
Even when the supernova goes off it takes
quite a while to restart
Bramble because it's so far away.
To give an idea of how tight this loop usually is
the supernovae are usually going off right now
Yes, there's usually an explosion as we enter this node
I'm gonna click Bounce explosion as we enter this loop pad node. And a quick bounce and then all of this backtracking just to do that.
Okay. That.
If there was a patch where the Arthian could use two hands to hold items, that would be kind of nice.
I lost Josh. What hand is the jetpack? Is it left or right?
I think its left.
It must be jet pack controls because the right is scout isn't it?
Yeah.
So there's Jansen.
Left hand.
Yes.
Okay, what we're doing interlooper loop...
Inter-looper? Yeah that that's right interloper loop um or inter
looper load whatever you want but we're cleaning up a couple of easier ship logs around timber
hearth and the addle rock first. Quantum Grove here has some RNG
in this case, but signpost
and the shard were on opposite sides of the grove
which ideally you'd want them to be right next to each other
Excuse me... And then, yeah we'll be heading over to the Owl Rock in order to pick up the logs there and then sleeping until the Interloper is in a good location.
The interloper is in a good location. The interloper is fun, I think
In the speedrun because you go ice skating really fast
and it's just kind of satisfying
It wasn't close.
It's not that red.
Yeah, we could get a donation in for the Owl Rock. The tutorial moon.
Absolutely.
I have a $25 donation here from
Bass40. Wow!
I loved Redacted.
My favorite part was when Identity Protected told you
how to find Redacted on
Location Classified, and
then it was revealed that the secret of the universe was
actually... Oh, look! Cool fish!
I can't believe that guy just spoiled the fish.
Shoutouts to everyone whose loved ones have told them not
to watch this run until they've played the game by the way. So that marshmallow there wasn't actually just for fun.
That was actually,
that actually heals you a bit.
Fun fact.
It's only the perfectly roasted ones, right? Yeah, perfectly roasted ones.
And that negates some of that damage because you're going to be like going pretty fast with the interlopers.
The Interloper landing can be quite a hard landing sometimes.
People have autopiloted through their deaths towards the
Interlopers, though.
Yes.
That elliptical orbit will certainly get the autopilot which is not very smart.
No it's not very smart.
I'm in that statement and I don't like it.
I'm sure, listen who here has not been auto-piloted
into either the interloper or the sun
left their ship without the space suit?
That happened to me one time
when I was new to my job.
We were doing a flight transfer thing.
You liked your ship
without the spaceship?
Yeah, so I flew
to the DLC place.
Oh, yeah.
I went to get out of my ship
and as I'm jumping out
I hear my coworkers going,
SOOT!
SOOT!
SOOT!
And I jumped out anyway
and immediately keeled over.
Someone should do a compilation
of all the non-suit deaths
they're really great when they happen.
Coming up to the interloper here again, the interloper is on an impact elliptical orbit
which means that it's like accelerating towards you as it enters the system
which can make it a little bit difficult. Especially well guess what we're shipless
this is looking pretty safe, we have to get to the tail end first in order to pick up the log there and then go over to the sunward side.
Want a bit of skating!
And that's why I healed.
Gonna be a little bit late but it should be fine. Yeah. The time constraint here is trying to make it back
to the sunward side before the ice closes again.
The ice melts as it gets towards
the sun and then closes when it goes away
I can hear, is that it closing? No, that's it opening.
You're good. Look at that timing beautiful!
That sound is just the sound.
And now don't blink because you'll miss the interloper
This is really fun to watch
Eeeeee So fast.
Marshmallows save lives.
Yeah.
Doctors would not agree, but...
There we go.
Nice.
And I think we can see the donation here Absolutely. $50 from
Earth to Theon ships
where we're going, Marty. There
are no ships.
Also quick update on that incentive less than
$100 to go please let's get it over the line!
Woo-hoo!
Uh,
I'm getting mixed up. Are we doing Hollow's Lantern?
Uh, no, we're doing the Twins loop.
Right, yeah, okay. Hourglass Twins... so this is a longer one
doing everything on Ember and Ash Twin
For the most part it's movement although
we'll be seeing some pretty cool out-of-bounds glitch later on.
Very incomprehensible out of bounds.
I'll try my best to comprehend this.
Put that theoretical physics degree to work.
I don't know if theoretical physicists can out of bounds, like real life.
But that would be a cool superpower
if you could have one speed running trick as a super power road to be oh man i mean out of bounds
clip because he flips anything pretty The clipping is pretty nice.
I would specifically BLJ for some reason.
Even if you had to make the sound?
For the sound okay yeah
we'll shop things a little right there.
Yeah, barely missed the sand pillar
there but that's nice. We're starting at
the gravity cannon and then making our
way into the Sunless City.
Another fun fact about some of the areas in the game have cool development names. Like there's a cavern in Ember Twin called Flapjack Cavern. I don't know if we
enter it on the run, but
it's large and flat, that name makes me happy
It makes me happy too
Glad to hear it! We have a little skip here where
we're going to be trying to pick up enough speed to make it through
a sandfall that we were supposed to be exiting
ah that's really tough you don't have much space to get enough momentum for it and the retrying is pretty difficult as well. There we go.
This enters the shrine backwards basically, which saves some time. Does it save time if you have to retry a QT?
Yeah, it does as long as you get it quickly and don't sit there trying it over and over again for a minute
the normal path is a little bit twisty yeah
i mean that just moving through sunless city uh for anglerfish cave like you know casually
you shoot your scouting here and follow the light but if you just know where the
fossil fish is you can just boost up into it don't have to worry about any of that.
And there it is! Nice. Shout out to the child skeletons.
Oops! The game
is about... Never mind.
One of our artists manually posed all the skeletons in the game.
In person?
They referenced with their own...
No!
I don't think any
know my skeleton poses
are repeated.
Oh!
I see what you mean.
I was imagining
they were self-referencing
like
doing the were self-referencing. I see, I see.
Doing the family guy death pose on the ground or whatever.
Anyway.
We're grabbing the refuel here
which again hooray routing because we had just run out.
And then I think we are jumping all the way to the other side of the planet pretty sure,
to North Pole from here.
No quantum caves oh yeah well yeah other side of the planet
and uh quantum this is where the out-of- of bounds is going to come in um so a couple of sequence
breaks here first of all we're going to be using map flick to get to the lit room at the bottom
of the cave which we're normally not supposed to be able to get to through quantum entanglement because you're like dark
You're supposed to have not be able to get somewhere where the light is on but the map bypasses that next
We're gonna jump on top of a
Quantum rock in a specific one of these rooms, and
we'll be following it around. The quantum rock will
hopefully clip us out-of-b of bounds there's a small chance of death
i remember this bug being reported so i'm only assuming that we fixed some
of it but not all of it you're trying to better rock
that's not good that was a partial outbounds it looks like
rock there we go there you. Oh! No...
Don't play with collision kids.
This trick can be really annoying sometimes.
It replaces an earlier way of deloading Ember Twin that was patched out.
It's really not cooperating here.
Yeah, when it goes well this is actually a lot faster than the old method
but there we are and we're out of bounds. We're using this to get to the high energy lab because
The intended way requires intentional waiting for
Santa fill. Not to mention it's a long
Circuitous route so having an out of balance
Option on the north hemisphere is really,
Really important. We're actually going to be able
To leave here with a deload as well.
Coming up on the incomprehensible part.
Yeah, so by recalling our scout, it returns the deloaded state.
Maybe a dev would comment on that? I don't know.
I...don't know what's happening.
I feel like there is something happening out of order
in here.
I know it doesn't work if your ship is in a certain place on the planet.
It definitely has something to do with sectors loading in and out
in a way that's not supposed to happen.
We're sleeping here next to Chirt, because he has different ship logs
depending on his state of existential crisis
so we are basically going to be sleeping the entire loop
away. So it could be getting a donation or two? Absolutely and a quick update,
We have met the all golden items upgrade.
Huge thank you to everyone who was donating
to help us get that incentive, Matt.
Some donations that went towards that, we had $50 in from Lynx Griffin donating for all golden items because yes the frog must be experienced.
Also I have a hundred dollar donation here from Ban Oddjob.
First time for my wife and I being in the audience.
Had to see Outer Wilds,
The game that created
And then solved an existential crisis
An absolute masterpiece.
Thank you.
I'll wave to you wherever you guys are.
Oh, I see you back there!
Uh maybe...oh never mind. Is that? Okay there we go
We're done there Chirt
Yes, Chirt knows they are about to die
and they've accepted it in a catatonic state,
which is good for us. So
we're going to be heading over to Ashtwyn
to pick up the couple of logs there.
An interesting note about this
log that we'll be reading at the Sun Tower is that it's actually only,
It's required in the 100% route but not for the Archaeologist achievement.
If you've played this game and gotten the Arologist achievement, which is for filling out
your ship log. There's a couple of logs
that aren't required for that achievement
that we do require for this category
One of them is all the different
rumors between
blocks inside
of the ship log, and that sun station tower
log is one of those arrows.
Fun fact! So, fun fact.
Now that's HoloZandri.
Right? Yeah.
That would be bad if I got it wrong twice. Yeah. Okay, good.
That would be bad if I got that wrong twice. Hollow's Lantern fits into its own loop just because it doesn't really fit anywhere else.
Really the rest of the loops from here on until the ending is just going to be kind of miscellaneous
stuff that doesn't route very well with any other large loop. Take a target and go zoom.
Hollow's lantern shipless also seems impressive to me, I don't know if it is difficult?
It can be pretty difficult.
Especially because there's a lot you can't land on.
Casually, I didn't even find the thing in Hollow's Lantern. I'll be honest.
I looked around and I didn't see it
and then I never came back.
It also rotates in a weird
twisty sort of way so...
The gravity on it is super weird to deal with
oh and if you don't know it's full of lava yeah I love when streamers get sniped by this thing though
Incredible Nice incredible nice
that we were talking about loud sound effects earlier today, and that one whizzing right by your ears seemed pretty loud. That was pretty loud! Maybe quieter than if it blew up though?
Not as loud as getting hit by one.
Okay, so
Timber Hearth.
Another really short loop
coming up
just cleaning things up
on Timber Hearth that we missed before um
i actually i kind of like the start of this uh loop we sleep for
like 20 seconds or something really Really short at the start.
Close to 50 seconds. Oh, is it? Okay.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Is that for geyser cycles?
Yes. That's for geysers cycles on
the mining site.
Basically, you have to get down below into
water and there's geysers that will try
to shoot you back out and we want
take one of those geyser out at
right time without it being there to stop
us. You did notice some ejection
seat tech there
The ship happens to be pointing in
the correct direction that we want to go
anyway so you can just leave via the eject button for some free momentum
for both this and the next loop actually.
Shipless only stops us from using
thrusters per category rules
so we can use everything else a ship has
including the fancy eject button.
Getting the phrase for eject in Russian
in that little square
or five letters in English
was a very difficult thing to do because the phrase in Russian is just really, really long.
And I looked at Soviet jets and they were written on the handle all the way along. And I was like why is there
no abbreviation for this?
I hated it. Localization!
We saw that geyser there that we slept in order to reach at the perfect time,
to boost us back out after getting that little dialogue.
Interesting... you'll notice
that basically whenever PT's doing like precision
flying, trying to
skip those stalactites or whatever
not doing scout boosting because
it's just not the angle is not really precise enough
when you can't look where you're going, and it's not long
enough to save a significant amount of time anyway.
And then the penultimate loop here,
we're going to be doing everyone's favorite 0G cave.
The tutorial cave!
Yes, the zero-g movement tutorial.
Which happens to be in the direction of
the cockpit.
So...
Nice! Nice.
I think you bonk-bonked there,
you took no damage.
Probably a really small amount of damage.
Did the lantern make it?
Interesting, oh maybe.
It looked like you were going fast but whatever.
Anyway we're just gonna ignore the actual training suit and go in with
the real suit and go in with a real suit. And quickly
fix a couple of things, and
then we'll be ready for the final loop.
So it could fit in a donation or two.
Absolutely! Let's
take a $10 donation from the Siouxs.
As someone with a PhD in physics, I think physicists who work in 4 plus dimensions are going out of bounds.
Also $50 here from Maximal Mandible, Outer Wilds. Come for the exploration! Stay for the existential crisis.
Ain't it grand?
Okay, uh... Okay. Probably a secondary spoiler warning here,
we're doing the end game now so if any of that looked interesting
and you say oh yeah I'll play that.
Donate and then look away for 10 minutes.
But we are going to be sleeping for a decent
chunk of time at the start of this loop.
Again, because we are going to Dark Bramble and the fastest way to get there is pretty late in the loops.
But first we will be sleeping to a specific Ash Twin warp
timing.
And we could probably
fit in one or two final
donations before the end here.
Alright. $25 here from Semi. The final flight in Outer Wilds is my
favorite moment in any media. Excited to see it minus the flights! Also five
dollars from Drop Voltage some of the Hearthians wear cowboy hats which implies Also, $5 from drop voltage.
Some of the Hearthians wear cowboy hats which implies the existence of cows
in the Outer Wilds universe.
Do with that what you will.
I don't want to do anything
with that.
No? I don't want to do anything with that. Maybe one more?
Alright, let's take $10 here from Tone. Question for the devs!
Are any of the skeletons doing the Yamcha pose?
I don't think so...
I would want to put one there now.
Which one?
Somewhere with a crater, right? Yeah we have to have a crater right
all right and we're going final bit of diagonal walk
as you get up to the i'm sorry i like shouting out the diagonal lock
i may have gone to world record using that a little while ago, but it's not a big deal or anything.
PT took it back five hours later and it's no big deal.
But yeah we're boosting over to Ash Twin.
There's going to be a bit of a pain point landing so expect
it takes some damage but you should be getting there just in time to reach a warp cycle to get into the ash twin
project there's some differences between this and any percent final route most notably actually
having to read all the logs that are in ash twin and project in the vessel
nice pretty smooth landing.
Shooting the scout at the work opens the black hole a little bit early for us, although actually I think since we were there a bit early it probably didn't matter anyway
but whatever. So, we'll be seeing
grabbing the warp core while reading the things that we need to read in ATP and the ATP.
Really got that Cliff Notes version there
on the wall.
It's like the giant lore dump, you read two sentences.
Yeah we got it just if you miss stuff that's supposed to catch you up with everything.
Alright, Muzak starting all right music starting
it's oh beautiful timing running in through there again we're heading to brittle hollow i love this part of the run, I love using the warp network
for transport because I don't
know how often you really do
that in a speedrun. It's usually not like very
fast to actually use Ash Twins to warp
places, I think
but this is a cool application of getting to Brittle Hollow actually use Ash to work places, I think.
But this is a cool application of getting to Brittle Hollow so
that we can get to Darkbramble via the White Hole.
Yeah.
We'll give you another fun location name on
Brittle Hollow if there's a great southern triangle
i don't remember where it is but it's probably a big triangle in the south is it one of the
chunks that like falls yeah okay that doesn't have anything on it You know, there is another living species in Dark Bramble.
At least I would consider it a species.
There's a little particle effect with these centipedes floating through the air that you sometimes see.
But they're rare!
It's true, I've seen a non-zero number of people get jump scared by those things.
There is also Feldspar so there's the hearthian. That counts.
Final run past the anglerfish to the vessel.
Hi fishies!
Again pulling out the controller to get a little bit of forward thrust.
Yeah, you can see the little one thruster pip.
I believe that is the reason...
To my knowledge, that is like the main reason why controller's recommended on
the main screen so you can have that partial thrust?
I think... correct me if I'm wrong but I think Alex intended that you should not be using any press during that section.
Oh really? Interesting.
Well yeah, if you're doing mouse and keyboard then you have to use none.
You have to, yeah.
But we gave you a little bit of leeway with the controller.
Gonna be going in...
There's gonna be a pretty blink-and-you-miss it
major clip coming up after we warp. We're gonna be doing something called Vessel Clip, which I'm just going to kind of pre-explain while P.T. is
getting these final logs inside the vessel and plugging in
coordinates. Basically by getting some
momentum towards the core that we're looking at here,
basically it's going to get us into a very complex
structure where we can actually do this someone plugging in the coordinates. Basically, by getting some momentum towards
the door of the vessel as you're warping
can actually reach the door before
the collision loads in which means that
we can go out-of-bounds and leave
the vessel without having to warp down
to the planet.
So we're basically going to skip
the entire sequence of warping
through the planet, walking
to the South Pole, jumping into like
the interstellar vortex or whatever
And instead it's just going to be
kind of scalp boosting through a void
and then you hit a loading trigger,
which is also cool.
That read at the bottom is the final shiplog of the entire run,
we have 100% of the shiplogs.
Now we just have to finish the game.
Scout boost towards the door...
We made it through before the collision loaded in.
And we're out of the vessel! It is possible if your scout
receive angle was wrong to actually just miss this
boating trigger, Although it's fairly generous
and I don't think it'll be a problem here.
I love the unceremonious
little quantum tubes
showing up and then immediately disappearing.
We're going to ignore all the fascinating lore
and observe from below
here.
There it is.
Long arms.
Long eyes.
Long arms? Eyes?
Is that making nearsighted or
surely farsighted. A few inches farsighted
So yeah, we're going to scout-boost down far sighted.
We're going to scout this down and enter the ancient glade
And as soon as we
reach the ground, basically
a little timer is going to start. All of these galaxies around us are going
to slowly start fading.
PT is gonna be using the time
to locate three specific trees
to stand in the middle but other than that
we just have to wait
for entropy to take over and the universe to fade into oblivion. Which is a
perfect time for donation or two.
Fantastic! Let's take a donation for $25 here from Stick Fight 2,
Here is for Outer Wilds! Such a wonderful experience and I'm still just shocked at the concept of a shipless run
of it.
Also had $100 in from e2thepie
Need to donate for one of my favorite games outer wilds though i've never seen it played
like this this is so impressive to watch awesome work pt minsker i agree see the last galaxy's I agree.
See the last galaxies fading out, and we're really going to look
really quickly between those trees which is why we came here
because that's basically the trigger to start
the next point. We get to clone and fly over to the clone
and then we just pick up...
The instrument gathering is fairly straightforward.
The only interesting part is going to be church instruments,
church drums.
You can actually pick up church drums from any range when you're
zoomed in through the signal scope.
You don't have to be like close to it or near anything so if
you know where to
look you can just try it over there you might have wonka miss it but we did just get church
drums there it's called choink we have wonderful names for uh in Outer Wild Speedrunning, which deserves a shout out I think.
I applaud your creativity. I love this little moment. 2001. I'm going to just fly up to get Gabra's flute last.
Oops, I didn't even see the pop-up for getting that, wow.
Start everybody up
and play one last song and of course, roast a marshmallow.
. the marshmallow so It's not quite the end of the run, because at the end of everything we can turn away
from the Big Bang and scalp those closer towards it.
Which is a very anti-climactic way to just turn away
from this grand birth of the new universe,
but listen, it saves us time.
Fly harder into the big bang! so Coming up with a time here. Thank you very much. All right. I'd like to give a few shout outs first to the devs,
including the ones on the couch sitting right behind me
for making this incredible game.
Shout out to all of the people in the speedrun discord who discovered all these wild tricks
that I just did.
And lastly, shoutout to GD, putting on a great event.
A few shout outs will be quick.
Shout out to my coworkers.
This was my former coworker's Kelsey Guston. a few shout outs i'll be quick shout out to my co-workers um this was
my former coworkers kelsey gus and kindra
shout out to greg and alex who i first played outer wilds with
and shout out to an outer wild's mod called astro codec made by walker that
i played recently it's really good, you should play it.
I want to shout out
to the team as well
and then all of
the people, all the streamers that played
this, thank you for helping me fix so
many bugs on these games.
You did good.
Thank you everyone.
I'll shout out
PT. Can I do that?
Yeah, you can!
PT has been dominating every single category for years now
and really pushed everything that is possible with Outer Wild speedrunning
And it's super cool to see.
It's a really fun splash.
And I'll shout out myself, TrishaTV slash Lebrungo.
Alright, I think we are done.
Woo!
Woo!
Applause Hello everyone, welcome to the Red Bull Daily Recap Tuesday edition. How's it going? Y'all are you excited, you having a good day? Yeah! Well

It still blows my
mind that this
beautiful little baby is going

on a stage with like
1,000 human beings behind him
Yeah he's doing really well
too, doing a lot of practice getting a lot of rest
in we're checking it with JSR

Hey!
We have like 500 people that signed up.
Fantastic.
Honestly, if you've ever wanted to be on the GDQ stage,
this is literally just show up, go to it.
Right.
And if you're one of the top, like what?
Two, three players? Top four going to be there showing off their skills that they adopted this week in the evil zone finals another
amazing inclusion this week at gDQ. Yeah, I know
Evil Zone's been happening for what? 10 years

Speaking of tournaments
This is the Crokinole Doubles Tournament
We love Crokinole Webles Tournament. We love Crokinole. We got Team
Fruits here. Oh, give it up for
Crokinole, baby! Yeah!
That's my team.
We love this game.
The doubles tournament
was so hype. We couldn't even have the finale of the finals today.
It's tomorrow at noon.
We got over to the practice room. This is Mocha Jones first time out of GDQ.
Trats Mocha, we love to see you here.
We also see Paul and David practicing I'm sure we'll bring that up a little bit later.
Yeah, yeah! Arcade.
More things happening over in the arcade room. What are they playing here?
Um...I forget the name of the game but I know exactly where it is.
Is there some shooting McSpacys on this?
Yeah, yeah, there's some great stuff.
Oh, a curse! Get us out of here. We just need to look at this.
Can we zoom in at all i don't
know anyway this is uh something why do you want to zoom
more
nightmare yeah this is something wicked. That's for sure.
Who? Yeah, I think we know who that
is but I don't want to reveal their
secret identity.
I do
know who that is. I don't know if they want to be called out,
but that's the Yeti,
if you've never seen the Yeti before.
Not cursed.
Our dear friend.
Anyway,
I'm losing my mind.
We're going into clips here.
Please take it away.
Oh no, yo, I'm gonna take this oh i'm sorry like
no more curse picks no this is one of my favorite speed runs
of all time ninja gaiden is incredible and retro runner was like you know what
ninja guy is too easy
so I'm going to make it
even harder for myself.
It's low percent.
I can only use the sword.
We're already so far
into the clip
but right here
with all of your
creativity
to do stuff
like that
setting up
that damage
to take a bird
with them
all the way across I I'm gonna shut up
What's his next game? We're just what are these expressions we're about to see divorce
Everybody wants this is the chibi Robo 1v1 lockout finger earlier today it was awesome um
i know that uh cobra had a bit of a lead yeah cody had a bit of elite but uh actually like did
a great job to catch up it was almost neck and neck right at the end
um it was a really cool run i'm really glad i got to see it all and yes these cutscenes
are ridiculous and the game is also really cute so we had a really good time with it
i don't know this is mass effect oh my god what is happening
this is massive effect oh okay yeah which is the mass effects and
oh oh also mass effect uh that's unfortunate and This is Mass Effect!
Were they on the toilet?
Thanks for watching.
Watch the Mass Effect run!
Oh, listen! It's really good to see you let's have fun
on this run we're gonna have a fun time right now
I missed those drums. Yes you did, she seriously did
So i have a lot to say about this.
I didn't want to talk over it, but this is the Sunset Riders run that happened earlier today.
Space Coast Gaming and Jake Rock
killed it with this musical piece.
We had also a first-time host, Little
Button killed it during the shift.
Shout out to Little Button you did fantastic very
proud of you I was their mentor and
yeah
we did a great job
we love our hosts Yeah. Woo! Yeah, we did a great job.
We love our hosts.
We do.
So proud of all the first time hosters.
A lot of first timers here like doing things all around the event.
You were giving props to some people's new people on our team today.
Yeah. Everybody is really doing such a great job. But that
musical piece really blew me away because
I've been a saxophone player for 20
years now and so when I saw that
today I said wait a second is that an aerophone i have one too
i've got five saxophones he's like yeah i have a saxophone that's signed by kenny g what what
wow i am so cool so jealous of you yes so i wasn't expecting yeah but the way, just a little thing.
Anyway so yes those were our clips I kind of want to hear that music again but we can't because we have to keep moving on.
What are y' all excited for tomorrow?
Foo, why don't we start with you?
I have a few because...
Go for it!
...I'm like, I can't narrow down.
I don't know how to narrow down.
What do I do?
My Friendly Neighborhood's coming up.
You can hear this voice probably in the background i've been told i will
be doing puppet impressions so um good reason to get donations then wait you'll understand
when you see it my friend like you're going gonna be like pretending to be a
puppet like a marionette thing or I don't think as a host you'll
be able to see that.
But she's still going to do it!
They do speak in the game.
Okay.
He told me I saw him at the restaurant that we had dinner at
today and he was like i'm gonna make you do puppet impressions
so it's like okay so uh i'm down also there's two slide games
that are happening early in the morning they're going to be amazing
um power watch simulator because that six player cop and power wash simulators
one of my actual unironically like favorite games most satisfying game i've ever played i could keep
going but i will stop please please Geez, you're up next!
I mean, I'd be remiss not to bring up Kirby here, right?
Yes!
After their brutal promo
off that they had earlier.
That was ridiculous. But I also have to give
shoutouts to, and let me make sure
I remember this, Super
Sonic Saves the World
world.
I don't know what... I've been part of this team for about six years now why do
i always say the dumbest sounding stuff i'm always legend azolla link to the past five
million swords with this and crowd control i thought you were gonna say a link to the
passpass it was like
that's the next one yeah all right spike what about you yeah and uh i'm excited for obviously
a lot of stuff y'all already said, but also make sure to stay
if you want to just stay up forever. It's a great week.
Lufia 2 Rise of the Sinistrals.
It is the next great installment of the
Poexil saga here at GDQ.
All the different RPGs, The Final Fantasies, the Cronjures
are going to be adding Lufia 2
to their resume tonight and make sure
you check out Kaizo Mario Galaxy
with 360 Chrism. It's Mario Galaxy
but it's extremely difficult! So make sure you check
out tomorrow night.
I'm excited for a lot of things.
First of all, shout-out to something that's happening
on Friday. We're having a Latinx
slash Hispanic community meetup.
It's happening at 4 p.m., Director's Row 3.
So if you're Latinx, Hispanic or an ally and just want to learn more
or you want to meet people, come to that.
That's later this week.
I want to make sure sure you're able to plan
for it. If your on site be there!
One of y'all better be there, all of y'all better be there
Oh we're coming! Yeah you're there, cool
Pulling up like a squad. Other than that I'm also excited
for... keys are on Old school Other than that, I'm also excited for old school RuneScape.
Listen, little thing you might know about Nello...
I've been playing Runescape for like 25 years.
That is correct. He's 23, by the way!
Actually it's on my sock
I'm 30
Mello looked at me earlier and was like
I feel like I'd be the one on the team that knows most about RuneScape
if it wasn't for Keyes.
Yeah, where I'm not even the only one which is the most ridiculous thing. But Old School RuneScape
is so hype. It's not the kind of game
that you think about when it comes to
speedruns. But there are multiple speedruns
that you can do in the game. The one that we're going to be seeing
tomorrow is the Cham of xeric challenge
mode solo by a cold one i'm it's one of the coolest and hardest raids in the game
very dope i have so many questions to ask he's and
I are both gonna be doing a double interview because we were fighting over who's
keep fighting yeah eventually we were like
we'll just do it let's do it together but hey that's it for our into
red bull daily recap thank you all so much for being here with me.
We're not fully done with you yet, because we have some prizes to show
you with the wonderful scent! My friend Scent, take it away.
Thank you so much Melo and Ate what do you mean Keyz is the most knowledgeable person about RuneScape?
1v1 me Inferno right now! Let's go!
Keep going, keep going... Oh, my God! Hey, hey.
Keep going.
Thank you so much for that intro. Everyone I am here to tell you about some of the amazing day prizes we have available
that are ending with My Friendly friendly neighborhood coming up real soon.
And seriously, if you have not gotten in a $50 donation or
at $100 donation today, you absolutely should because from our friends over
at six on clothing we have this super cool Final Fantasy XIV inspired
rebel coat,
This thing is incredible
I've been wearing it for a couple of bits
throughout the entire day
but honestly its just a super comfortable coat. It's incredibly warm. It has
so many really nice little zippered pockets. It's got two secret pockets on the inside of it.
It is a very functional coat. It's a very stylish coat. It's got a gigantic hood that's big enough to cover my face while
I'm wearing this headset.
It is an incredible piece of clothing and could be yours for a $50 minimum donation. And I feel like I haven't talked about
it enough, but from our good friends
Mountain Goth Mom and Nerdy Excursions
we have an amazing Mass Effect
N7 helmet replica
the Helmet of Commander Shepard.
But not only is this the helmet of
Commander Shepard it is signed by Mark
Meir one of the voice actors of
Commander Shepard amongst other roles in
several great video games as As I understand it, they actually found Mark
at a convention told them all about what GDQ is and what we do and then were like oh yeah
i mean of course i have to sign this for the event. Love to be a part of it.
So thank you so much to them and
thank you so much to Mark for signing it.
This thing is incredible.
$100 donation before
the end of my friendly neighborhood And And I know what you're thinking,
Sen. Is this just a helmet that I can like keep on a shelf?
Is it a helmet that I could show to my friends? Absolutely not! This is a functional helmet.
I'm Prize Man, and this is my favorite helmet on the Citadel. He never told me that we could wear the helmet. Thank you so much, Scent and the interview team.
Welcome back everyone to Summer Games Done Quick 2024.
We are going to take a quick break.
Y'all stand up, get a drink, have a stretch.
We've got more amazing stuff coming up.
Don't go too far. we'll be back real soon and for everybody still in the room how y'all doing tonight

Chat, I see you there too.
Hope you're doing awesome.
Yes, I am jealous.
I didn't try on the helmet.
I didn't know I was allowed to try on the helmet.
All right.
I want to catch up with some of the donations that had come in
while we had that Outer Wilds run
Amazing love that we have coming in
For everybody by the way whose loved one has
just let them back into whatever room you're watching the stream.
We do this because we love you.
I know it sounds weird to be like,
This is a great game! Now go away!
But for real, it's important.
We had a $50 donation in from umbra violet i'm outer wild and out
fifty dollar donation we had come in from pawn outer
waltz is one of my absolute favorite games there is truly nothing
else like it i have no idea how it can be done shipless so my eyes will be glued to the screen. And a $15 donation from Cassini2k4. Yo, I'm watching it work. Don't make a big deal of it. Love the Outer Wilds, love the event.
Scent may be untrustworthy or scent maybe the only trustworthy one. It's hard to to say anyway keep on keeping on
and a five dollar donation in from skywolf pluto is not
a planet i did not i did i didn't want to start that argument during the run
so we're all going to be very nice to Skywolf because they are donating
to an amazing charity.
Okay?
Thank you everyone for your graciousness.

Well, I need to let you know that I am Kyoshi Kadre, a rising speedrunner who has recently gotten good at Undertale Yellow.
And I have the opportunity to show it off today!
With me are my lovely commentators who are going to introduce themselves now. Hi, I'm Wooful. Uh...
I've been running this game since like day two
I did a lot of early routing and now I just stick around
and still run the game pretty frequently I did a lot of early routing and now I just stick around
and still run the game pretty frequently.
Hi, I'm Shay.
I am an Undertale, Deltarune YouTuber
And I'm also in special thanks to this game for some reason
I don't know they put me in
I am Master Sevelution um...I'm a top level runner of the game
and I also do blindfolded stuff so
fun times yeah
Alright can we get a countdown?
You all ready?
Yeah.
Up from five, on go.
Five, four, three, two, one, go! All right.
So this is Undertale Yellow, it's a fan made prequel to the hit indie RPG Undertale that
you may have heard of. Never heard of it. What was Undertale that you may have heard of.
Never heard of it. What was the Undertale?
Oh, uh... That's true.
I think a guy named Radiation made it or something like that.
Oh my god! No, that's the sequel to this game.
Yeah.
So we're gonna do some movement here in Ruins, just...
You know, get through it as fast as possible.
Little difference between Frisk and Clover.
Clover actually has good legs
and can run!
Clo-Clover has cardio.
Yeah, so we're gonna...
Uh oh.
Oh no! Alright, so this is the second Oh, no. It's over.
They're dead.
All right.
So this is the second of many concussions that Clover will incur throughout
the run.
Can we get like $5 for every concussion?
Yes.
That's a whole $10.
Wow. Yeah. There's another one all right so here we are in the dark ruins uh kioshi i don't think this is six or two of them i think you need to reset
oh all right hey kyoshi reminder to do it okay Oh, alright.
A Kyoshi reminder to do it my way. I promise. The shame method!
I will miss it anyway still. Just kidding.
Alright so that is the first glitch in the run.
It saves 0.8.
Bye, Flowey.
Bye, Flowey.
Bye, Flowey.
Flowey's going to help Clover.
I don't know why.
Probably like...
No ulterior motive.
Some plot reason, I don't know. reason i mean we're supposed to get revenge or
like you know find out what happened to the fallen humans right isn't that clover's goal maybe a story
text i didn't know that i just asked mashed through it, I can't read.
I'm an Undertale fan!
Very famously capable of reading.
Wait is that Nazrael?
I thought that was Rasa. Gaster?
So also, little thing
about the Flowey cutscene
in the demo version of the game if you skip
it just turns off every other cutscene yep they fix that for
this version so the way encounters work in this game is a little different uh than undertale
there are set encounters like this one that Kiyoshi just ran into is set
you'll always run into it, but then after
that, uh, you'll have
uh, encounters that can appear on certain step
ranges and it doesn't really
work the exact same way as Undertale, but unfortunately
That was so close.
you got her very close to getting out of the room there
It gives a random range between 11
There's 11 possible values, it's between 150 and 450.
I'm pretty sure that one was like 390
And you need 420 or 450 to leave that room without an encounter
Good number
Alright any pillars uh not fun no oh god no pillar no pillar why bother undertale yellow just no, no!
Just like regular Undertale has a fun value. This one's 1 to 80 but there can be certain drawings on those pillars if you have a certain fun value.
Alright here is the first mini boss... kind of.
Okay so we need to be very quiet.
Thisbat doesn't like sound
So everybody needs to be very quiet
No noise at all
see even the music is going down I think the fight is almost over
the fights almost done, go on
just after this look how happy they are Oh thank god that was over! That's why my Sentinel is a silence out there.
So you might have noticed at the very beginning before Kyoshi started in the top left it it said Auto-Masher mod.
That's because we allow auto masher for this game
Because unlike Undertale you can mash it up to 30 text boxes per second
And in order to do that you need to sacrifice your wrists
To the gods above
Which is not healthy so we have an auto-mesher
Very good. I encourage this
Actually it's because Kiyoshi's just cheating
Nevermind, cheating encourage this actually because kiyoshi's just cheating yeah oh yeah nevermind cheating
oh that's the nerves with the auto matcher by the way i have a 45 minute video essay written up so we move up here a little bit just to save some friends in this walking up.
Here's Azrael again.
Don't forget to do the thing.
I'll do the thing, don't worry.
But first...
So we're going to do this fight first because it actually makes
encounters just stop happening.
Yeah if you beat the uh...if you beat Dahl here.
We need to do some backtracking to get a gold on them.
Wait who? I thought that was Azrael.
Oh my- sorry. In order to beat Wingdings here- oh wait!
OHHHHHHH order to beat wingdings here. Oh, wait. Oh!
Oh!
Wait, is this an Adventure Time character?
Yeah, I've never
thought about that before.
The Delphi's pretty simple it's just some dodging
Don't listen to the voices Kiyoshi
Everybody's favorite character
who definitely is very involved
in this story from this point forward. So we're doing
True Pacifist so if I accidentally
spare kill Dalv, uh, the run's
over but I have a backup save
Do not listen to the voices, please
This is NOT neutral don't kill him but
but the time say he has to live but it's faster no
no i love being minus 30 on my tpu runs randomly
i love you randomly saving like 20 seconds.
Wait, why did Surva leave at the...
wait who?
Spoilers!
Being in the bottom left here saves a little bit of time
Yeah just because it...
He just throws less
lightning bolts.
Well no,
he just gets destroyed faster.
Something like that.
It's the only attack
like that in the game
I'm pretty sure
which is kind of strange.
Also the hitboxes on these lightning can be a little weird.
I feel like sometimes I've just gone directly through them.
Yeah, and other times
I feel like I'm getting hit from halfway across the top of the box.
Why are you dodging it like that?
It makes me nervous!
Why aren't you dodging all the attacks exactly like I do? Yeah, yeah. You're making me nervous! Why not?
Why aren't you dodging all the attacks exactly like I do?!
Why why why?!
Why aren't you standing still, Kyoshi?
Yeah, you can just win this fight by standing still.
Give him a handshake and then spare?
We're good.
Okay, all right so we met the incentive for all golden items I think, right?
Yes, yes we did.
So we are going to be taking a three minute backtrack
To hit all of these numbers, to unlock some stone that will allow us
To access an area in this area. Flyer jumpscare. Oh flyer jumpscare
Yeah notably this part of the game was made in...
You got it.
I couldn't hear it.
In 2016 for the demo.
So some of the design and the dark ruins
is a little bit more antiquated than the rest of the game.
Yeah.
Is that pink or purple that is ruined
a ruin's fine i do think we have some time yeah yeah we definitely have time for donations
absolutely they are coming in for you i'm going to to start with $10 here from PippiInATophat.
Oh, hello!
Have some love, money and a nice cozy thank-you
from your local speedrunning undertale Yellow Rider.
Working on UTY was an incredible experience your local speedrunning Undertale Yellow Rider.
Working on UTY was an incredible experience that
helped make me who I am today! Thank you for
doing it speedrun justice."
Also had a small donation here from Thank you for making the game. I get it, I get it.
Also had a small donation here from Team Undertale Yellow
for $3,000!
We are so excited to be at SGDQ this year
To help support MSF
And we're super grateful for all the community's support
Best of luck on the run, Kyoshi
That's amazing. Thank you so much to everybody who worked on this
absolutely amazing i love this game so much i like this game a little bit the small amount
there's a little bit we got time for one more excellent 15 donation from sarah
violet bunny hi an exciting day for the undertale fandom seeing a fan game on screen
so happy this is happening also spare saroba she deserves to live
also also and just that makes it to me shay uh quest four over two
it's okay. Oh, I got...
Evil!
Wait who? Who? Unbelievable
Alright so we're going to be heading into
the first...
The den of the beast.
Yeah, the secret enemy.
Open encounter.
Well it's-
It's-
It's the dead pixel from Delta. Oh, no
No
Jerks on you it's actually micro frog don't stop
Good yeah if you stomp
And get experience and then and can't get your passports.
This song is also such a d-worm.
It's a shame we don't get to hear it more.
Right when it gets to the good part.
Yeah, sorry.
Wait there's two of them?
They're multiplying!
Hydrofrog get found love.
Aww. Aww.
Anyway, for defeating the most powerful enemy of all time we get The Golden Pear which is
the first of the golden items and it's also by far the best of them in my opinion.
Yeah! It gives you invincibility for two
hits, which is kind
of a lot. Two mulligans is a lot
if you watch good players play this game.
That's like... And doesn't it
carry through battles? Yes, yes.
You can use it in the overworld.
So we left Gal...
We just left him waiting.
Yeah, we just left him waiting like the devs did.
Wait wait wait wait wait.
We were just letting them get ready you know prepare
I think we have time for one more donation?
Fantastic! I will take this $5 donation from Marcy.
Not sure who this is talking about though.
This was both my first GDQ in person and first time donate,
And I had to donate during my buddy Q Chakadre's one.
Good luck on the...
Do we need updates
for your name?
No, no, no.
Okay.
Okay.
So now we're in a
familiar area.
It's Snowdin!
No way.
This room is bad by the way.
I love that bush.
Snowdin? Well they should shovel it out.
Yeah.
True.
Why do they call it Snowdin if you snow out cold snow?
Does anyone spell Bird Coast?
What, wait, huh?
So this ice is interesting. You actually have to let go, if you
let go of the run button while on
the ice you don't get steps but
if your holding the move button
while you're on the ice
you do rack up steps they want to let go you've gotten that encounter every single time yeah so i'm
moving here for this screen to pan less it saves like marlott hi martin no way hi marla
it's everybody's favorite.
It's my favorite character, it's that bird
I love. That bird that I love. Yeah.
The mart.
Yippee!
Same principle with this puzzle coming up. We're going to be as far to the right and
up as possible so that the screen pans less. Not that far, right?
No no no, no.
Hey just to remind you,
You have to do the puzzle twice.
We were in practice earlier today
And we forgot to do it twice.
Also this puzzle is surprisingly threatening
sometimes. Yeah, most
of the time I'll get scared if the snow
is in my way.
We're going to hug the left
side of this so he can just go as early as possible.
Also if you were wondering why my clothes are off color, just pretend it's the Snowdin palette.
I didn't notice that the palette was different in Snowdin.
Yeah, it's different in all the areas.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT!
Anyway this is the one and only time on the run we get to see
everybody's favorite salesman
Wait no, Moe!
MOE! Mo! Wrong game, wrong... MO!
He's out here to take your money.
And that he will.
Anyway it's just faster to buy his stuff.
Well we're gonna sell it later.
We gotta support
local small businesses.
There used to be
an old route
where we skipped
buying the hot pot
but it's better
just grab it
and then sell it
later.
He beastlyzed
that route.
Oh hey,
some lord building
apparently before phones are made the underground
used mail yeah and we just got some mail yeah but more on that later moron i'm not sure
that letter was really nice and well writtenwritten but like we just don't need
it. But first... Oh no Dave.
No Dave. No Dave. No!
No.
I got this in the bag, don't you worry.
You gotta lock in. Lock in.
Alright so...
I have to memorize with the balls?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah one out of three.
This is the most difficult thing of all time we gotta really pay attention to it.
I have lost many runs to this.
Oh how does he do it? I can't.
Left again. Oh!
That was close.
I took your hand there, you know? Depending on whether or not the bid war goes a certain way,
depending on what credits we get,
we won't see a certain gag, but in the special thanks
these shufflers are listed as
not special no thanks.
Another golden item. Well, okay.
The extremely useless golden coffee.
It ups your speed.
Hi, Martlet! useless golden coffee it ups your speed yeah um yeah okay martin hi martler no way so we're gonna be doing this task really difficult mass strat uh Pass strat. It's called, uh...
Go the Other Way.
Yeah.
And then you can just, uh...
You know.
Hard puzzle!
This is a really hard puzzle guys.
I'd like to be known that the people who- one of my friends who passes this game his name's issue tried
his best to get movement about that was better than that it just couldn't yeah he couldn't do
it oh bad rng wow they're like bother every encounter encounter was about three and a half seconds which is
a little rough we have the evil puzzle made for idiot babies um i've lost a lot of like
i genuinely i know know we joked
earlier about losing
runs
this one
is actually
no this one
can be kind of
tough
especially the
second iteration
it took like
three weeks
for anyone to
have a solid
strat for this
yeah
why would for anyone to have a solid strat for this.
Why are we being quiet?
Oh, you gotta focus!
Lock in!
It's not that serious.
Nice!
Yeah!
You gotta save your.1 now. Shout out to MarioMan?
Yeah, shoutout to MarioMan you can leave and come back here.
Save.1 seconds.
I mean not gonna do the safety save, I like it, I respect it. Alright, so...
I like it. I respect that.
What?
There's a bit of RNG at the start of this fight with the amount of feathers and boxes that Martley will throw at us
So I want everybody to count the amount of feathers and boxes we get.
Yeah.
Oh, okay hold on that counts as a spare.
Take your best shot.
So Martlet is a royal guard and she just realized that we're human. One, two...
Two, three, four...
Five!
Six!
Seven!
Eight!
Nine!
Wow! Okay how many boxes though? One... 8 9 Wow.
Okay, how many boxes though?
1
2
3
4
5
Yeah! Opt, optimal boxes.
Listen just a 9 to 5 job.
So you start the fight off by sparing her and then you attack her once
And then go back to sparing her
It actually shortens the fight because she gets confused yeah like what are you
doing and then ends the fight early it's almost like a week or two they even figured out this
was a spare method look a lot of early runs just fault martin for 10 turns until she fled yep there's
a lot of really small details i think we just missed a lot of it to like a month in yeah this
text is also funny because if you don't let go of the automaster she's just just stairs yeah forever
yeah there's like another um oh this was happening earlier windows 11 moment
hopefully that doesn't happen later.
All right, so we got a long stretch of cutscenes coming up.
We're going to look out for a duck which is a fun value
That'll be a secret tool for later, but
now we probably have plenty of time for donations. Awesome! Once again
if you can tell me who these donations are for that would be great because there does seem to
some confusion
seven dollars and twenty cents in from misty fox girl good luck cartography
cheering for you bud let's get sparing
some robas and i'll just a quick update on that spare soroba is currently
in the lead by about three hundred dollars uh when are we gonna make the call on that so folks
it'll be near the it'll be like right at the end of
the final boss. Okay, gotcha
Also no duck, why bother?
Don't worry, it's because you're getting Gerson
Oh that's true
Alright
$25 from Xander.
I can't believe Cablecade has made it into SGDQ and with Undertale yellow no less! So proud!
I think that's a new one.
Anyway, for some reason, Gaster installed a water slide through Hotline.
Yeah.
I don't know what he was cooking on that day.
He was just feeling very quirky concussion number three ow well this time there was no flowers so uh i think they landed in water
cancels out about a million miles an hour anyway free save thanks flowey Free save. Thanks, Flowey. Yes!
The run is fun!
Let's go!
I was waiting for this!
The run is fun! I read the dust particles.
Wait, Dust?
Dusty Dudes?
Dusty Duuues!
I can't believe we got Gerson.
So if we had gone in there and lost time you can go talk to gerson that is a very rare
fun value event yeah i was too excited because we all joke about it and it never happens
what do you know? Yeah.
Ooh, nice RNG.
I'm not getting lucky with these step counts.
It's because I'm here,
my bad.
Oh, choppy, choppy.
Wait, this is very dusty.
So the next two rooms are based on Sandstorm Cycle,
so we got...
If you look down there,
there's a guy with a really suspicious red X.
We'll be back for that later.
Yeah.
A secret tool for later.
Right.
So there's kind of hard
timing strap coming up to skip one of these wind cycles to save about a second
i've never seen you miss that uh i messed it up just go over this you mess this. Just go for the slow one.
It's gonna be safe.
Nice.
I've never seen him miss it except when he does.
Oh!
The pink guy!
That really weird hitbox.
I'm going to say that, that's never happened to me before.
I love Marathon Lot.
The pink guy can block you for some reason.
Now you get the cycle switch.
He did go separately so we could get there how did i
get stuck that happens like all the time yeah i've never had that happen a lot like several
runs to that anywhere favorite merchant source slither he's here to scam you what is happening to the
frame rate man windows 11 moment i think it is uh all right shout outs to this puzzle. Very very difficult.
Everybody say hi to Cactony!
Hi Cactony!
Alright so in this coming up area there's two ways
to solve this puzzle. Watch out for the dude!
Since we don't need flint
for damage... cause flint is an ammo
we can put in our gun and we don't need it since
he's a pacifist so we're just gonna you can use both the flint and the steel buckle
exhaust them from your inventory and gets rid of the wood which is a way to skip
a quiz show and uh every time i see the quiz shout out mr. Link to came back
Selected the wrong answer
Is the court also
If we were running neutral,
If we get a question wrong on that quiz
The run is just over.
There's also another secret solution to that
If you do a sidequest in Snow and like stop it right at the end when
you get the matches you can use those matches yeah you could use them ashes oh yeah great
attention to detail yeah i love that guy.
All right, we got some... After this room,
we've got some minecarts coming up
with notoriously bad hitboxes, but...
The minecarts are funny.
It's the switch track.
Yeah.
Hitboxes developed to break my sanity.
If you look at the actual hitbox, it's like a small box!
I love playing a game of just taking a screenshot
of Clover standing next to one of the switches and asking,
will this interact?
Oh my god!
Those rocks are out for blood.
Oh my, Star!
Wow. They really wanted you.
I guess they really rocked your world.
It's because Shay is here.
Anyway we have some time for maybe a donation?
Alright let's take a $10 here from star smiling hi cadaver good
luck on the undertale green run wait i'm quite. It's yellow?
Wait, I'm yellow?
Wait, am I yellow?
Probably fit one more.
Sounds good.
$30 here from Noki.
She is beauty.
She is grace. Saroba will live to see another day.
No, didn't rhyme.
It's their donation,
not mine!
Thank you for the 30.
All I will say about this room is vibe check?
This is a vibe-based strategy.
Pretty tricky skip here with the minecart, so let's see if Caviar
can lock in for it.
All right. the first half.
Okay we're gonna do a safety strat here to keep these in rotation
and now we just have to do vibes and its right...
Vibe check success! Yeah! Vipek success.
That is our first glitch of the run.
Anyway, you might be wondering why I'm picking up so many items.
We need money and also because there's a glitch that involves dropping items.
You can choose to not drop them but if I accidentally drop them it could be bad if I have no more items.
You dropped too many items and your flower is going to have his monologue yeah in the normal like when going to world record attempts you'll only have a one item
and you don't want to drop that yes so yes, I'm going to have like eight.
Please do not drop the holster.
Yeah.
Anyway, that big stone in
the background is... There's lore. This area
actually... I think it used to be tropical right?
It used to be a forest and they mined out this gigantic gemstone that essentially caused global warming in the area.
Anyway, it's time for our next mini-boss. ElBalAtDoor?
Yo!
Wait, MegaHaluja?
Wait what?
PaldainHaluja
Anyway, any FNFs? I love Fortnite Festival anyway how any fmf i love fortnite festival i love step mania
played a little bit in the arcade earlier yeah it's pretty fun
yeah so this this fight has a lot of gimmicks.
We have a setting on called Autorhythm that hits these on the first frame possible.
Normally I would be timing Z inputs to these bars, but that's really hard.
So you cheated?
Yeah.
Okay.
Anyways, a lot of people have complained about this fight
and I get it.
Not everyone is good at rhythm games
but honestly, kind of a skill issue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think
if we're done explaining Albon
or we have plenty of time for doing it,
let's fight Taco Bell here.
Fantastic! I love to hear it.
Let's take a $15 donation from Heart of Oak.
Howdy kid Yoshi!
I am so proud of you and all your hard work in pushing this game to its limits.
And, I can't think of someone more deserving of this run showcase.
Spare some monsters and I'll root for you from the back couch!
Not Saroba, though, right?
I think it's Saroba.
They didn't say.
$10 donation from Justin Olive.
Cardboard!
Yeah!
Very happy to watch you play the yellow game fast.
You are my favorite calculator ever and I am honored
to be supporting you from right behind you.
Have so much fun, mash those buttons
and fight the rob robot. It saved six
seconds. Yeah!
So, uh, yeah, Carol of the Bells here
has a long fight, so we got time for one more?
Excellent. Ten dollars from
Soaring Sloth.
I'm so proud of you $10 from Soaring Sloth. Yeah!
I'm so proud of you, Koala Candy.
Keep being your best self.
That's a new one.
Thank you.
It's the last one coming up?
I think this is the last one.
I can't tell.
I zone out during this fight, so...
Okay, we have one more donate for him after this, yeah. We have We have one more donation.
We have time for one more donation here.
Excellent! $25 from
Willie J. Willie J.
Yeah!
Wow, love for them. Hey Kerosene,
stayed up late for this tonight. Glad to have the chance to be here. Good luck and have Greg.
Yeah, Greg!
This is the last turn. For whom the bell tolls here fakes you out and has another one
here yeah he's got another one in him it's so out of time because I'm on a rhythm.
Shoutout to Ishu's task in this fight, it is actually the most cursed thing I've ever seen.
Nice FC!
Yeah let's go!
Good job Carousel that That was a pretty impressive...
So anyway, enough Persona 4 dancing all night.
Also I'm pretty sure this is Decibat's roommate.
Anyway, if you like Undertale and you liked the punch card
say hello to the punch card.
It's Punch card two!
Just a little bit of opening the bag
and oh wait we're not buying it.
Alright don't soft lock.
The sound effect this is not the fact that i'm not
if you do that super optimally that sound effect that little sound effect that the thing makes
it goes on forever it never oh Fine. So yeah, we can
use the bag to skip cutscenes. We don't want to skip
this cutscene though because we need Martlet
in our party or else a cutscene in about
like 30 seconds will crash without her there
so hi Martlet! Hi Mart anyway we're very we're very good people because
of how the past here uh money oh damn the most noble heroes steals the pantaloon money!
Oh hey look, it's Redd!
It's Redd.
Hi Redd.
Shoutout Taxidermy.
Uh, shoutouts to this beautiful hallway that you're staring at.
Yeah, it's just a really nice hallway. There is also this character here who blocks the way.
Girlboss?
Girlboss.
Alright I'm going to save because this upcoming trick can crash if I press talk on the same frame as
the cut scene started.
Lock in!
It's that up bag that I hate.
Nice! Easy. So, this saves a bunch of time because normally the Feisty Five as they're called here
not at all related to The Furious Five from a certain Dreamworks franchise
have to walk down slowly like they are the astronauts walking out to the rocket launch but when we're
up here they don't have to and also music gets funky and also add uh yeah shout out to ed just
phasing through paul yeah he got happens there's ed the respective kind of like
ed is standing on the hay bale yeah ace got ace
oh nevermind and again i don't know who the middle guy is.
And together they are the Ginyu Force!
Yeah!
Turn on noclip.
This is the area that has uh okay what was the there's a lot of cutscenes here honestly getting kind of bored let me go check my street passes real quick. Yeah, hold on.
Shadow the...
Whoa whoa whoa.
Let me check my street passes real quick.
Famous Undertale Yolo characters. I think that's Ghost Rider
on the bottom left,
Smiling Friends in the middle there.
Microfrog gets on the left.
I think...
Who is the guy from Gravity Falls?
Bill Sider?
Yeah!
Some alcohol, some Bud Light-y?
Some Bud Light and some Fox character.
Yeah, this one's not important at all.
I think her name is the Nova?
Wow!
I got 10 StreetPass tags.
You are actually checking your StreetPass?
I'm checking my StreetPass.
I need to check my StreetPass. Your StreetPass matches with
Twitch link? Are you kidding me?
Yeah! I have to get the message out.
Promoting the brand. So the story here is Starlow
The Sheriff of the Wild East
has decided to train Clover up
to become the deputy? Yep
Yeah. And there's a lot of cutscenes
in Funny Night Pinks unfortunately fast And there's a lot of cutscenes in funny hyphens. Unfortunately, fast.
I hope you like text. There are a lot of cutscenes.
Yeah that's the area where we're gonna be in the most cut scenes mostly because of their length
yeah the area we're going to be a lot of cutscenes because they're long yeah no yeah that makes sense
water this floor is made out of floor oh wait i wait they spelled dual wrong right yeah what
oh the wild east here pretty clear parody of the wild west american folklore so just uh
you know a real america american tradition here starla is going to go
buy this child a gun yeah happy fourth of july week a fun fact about this gun shop
here is all right i've got my here is it's literally a gun shop.
I've got my street passes.
It's made out of guns!
Made out of guns, you have the little poles and handles...
Go ahead Astra.
Tell them how this shop transition is sad.
Oh yeah. Okay so tell me... how this shop transition is sad.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, so technically there's out-of-bounds glitches
we can do on shops
except for this one
because of a programming error
it switches the order again of a programming error,
it switches the order in which you interact
with the shop so we can't go out of bounds
and skip all of the wild east.
They dev
patched the skip without even knowing.
So here's the wild revolver...
I unfortunately didn't lock in, my bad.
You actually get an upgrade to your weapon. We will never be using this.
Unless you spend money so we fight Saroba.
Also shoutouts to how difficult that is to program for that transition.
Yeah the little transition wheel! I remember playing this and I was like
How do they do this?
Game Maker is one of the engines.
In that little shooting minigame I was trying to do it like Game Maker is one of the engines.
In that little shooting minigame, I was trying to do it without getting the text and using Automasher.
Usually I get it but I wasn't locked in unfortunately.
Anyway, I believe we have time for donations now.
Yes.
Maybe one?
All right!
Let's take a $7 donation here from LaBerry.
Oh!
Hi, LaBerry!
Good luck for the flea roll RNG, Cody Cater!
Fight Saroba!
Anyway so this uh...
Oh wait we have one more. One more, I believe. All right.
$5 here from Shulk.
I love everything Undertale
and I'm overjoyed that my favorite UT streamer
Shay is on the couch supporting.
Good luck with the run.
Stay determined. Glad you're really feeling it
so anyway here play samurai kirby it's gonna be a three
oh yeah this one's blasts all right there's rng there depending on how long Oh, it was a one! Yeah, this runs blast.
So there's RNG there depending on how long you can sit
there and wait for the prompt and uh... yeah.
Wait I think Starlo died. He's alive!
Something something don't worry about what he said
And now I gotta go back
Grab the feisty spider here
It's very easy good healing
And now Virgil from The Devil May Cry series will make his appearance as you know and hijack a train.
Dead serious, the guy who hijacks the train is named Virgil.
I'm not sure if that was intentional, but...
The robot.
The robo!
Alright.
So how do you feel about the train problem?
I have a very- I have an ethical dilemma to give to you all.
It's very important. Very important.
Would you rather save the five water bottles or the root beer.
The one can of root beer!
The root beer, the root beer, the root beer!
Well, you've got to consider the speedrun.
Hold now on your phones.
It's faster to sacrifice the root beer.
We have actually objectively solved the trolley problem here at the Undertale Yellow Speedrun.
Astro, do you want to explain why this is faster?
So...the sound for the train doesn't play if you choose Edd so it saves time.
Despite that fact that the other option doesn't have that unskippable
text there. Anyway are we all ready for a
very high like spike in
difficulty? So
your default armor, The it allows you to flee encounters with a 100% rate.
Uh oh! What happened to the stream?
Hello?!
Quick! Let these saucy beats distract you from the technical difficulties.
Nothing wrong is happening.
So anyway four adults decided to gang up on a child I don't know why.
We got the alphabet mafia here challenging us to fight.
We've got Ed and then here's Moray who is...
It's fine.
So the patch, the default armor lets us run away from encounters
Hardest attack right here
But uh...
Because of our reliance on the patch to run away from encounters, we take a lot of damage. A lot!
Where is it? Okay.
Defense is super important in this game unlike Undertale where defense isn't really important.
One defense is one less damage taken here so...
You really want to equip those armors?
There's a strat you can do here
to get Cat caught by Edd's hand which saves the second but uh...
But you're scared? Yeah. Do not hit grab!
I could smell the fear.
Entirely fair.
For reference, if I take three hits i'm dead
yes in this fight three total hits and you are gone oh uh sure so all right we're going to take just a minute to get that sorted out but while we do
so many excellent donations that we've had coming in i am having a little bit
of trouble keeping up if i'm honest we We had a $25 donation just came in from Kit,
loving the energy from the couch and the crowd. Let's go K-Dawg! applause
Also had a
$10 donation in from Gordoordo a friend of mine has some pretty strong opinions about
sparing saroba so here's a few to help you sway the vote further let me take
quick check see how we're doing on that. It looks like Spare is currently in the lead to the tune of...
What are we at? $2,500, about $2,600 versus $1,700.
You still have time to influence that vote if anything
The issues that we are sorting out now are giving you more
Time to weigh in to determine the fate of Saroba so once again
Games done quick dot-comcom donate scroll down to the bottom of the screen
click the add incentive button you can go ahead and weigh in on that particular bid war you can
help with some of our incentives that we have open like getting additional content for
the lufia true sorry lufia 2 and gumbrella runs we have coming up don't miss your opportunity
take advantage advantage $72 we had come in from Primal.
I do not speak...
I love that reaction, like when it's somebody here, that's beautiful!
I do not speak for everyone but I think a lot of us are happy
to see Undertale Yellow on the big screen.
Now how about we unpack the characters of Undertale Yellow?
Couch, who is your favorite Undertale Yellow character?
Also spare The Robot!
Hold onto that Couch, we're gonna remember that
We'll be discussing this in a bit
So be ready, it's your chance to prepare
I'm sure everyone will be very calm and rational about whatever opinions you may have on this issue. This is not dangerous for you at all, I promise. so We had a $25 donation come in from Empire Ship.
It would be remiss of me not to grace a shout hosting
shift with a master class in his own vocal range. Why do I let
you do this to me? So, the utmost love and respect, may I request your most enthusiastic Yippee! Love to Kiyoshi, love to Shay on the the couch love to everyone making this amazing week possible games Playing games
Oh I got it
Changing names
I'm playing games
Gotta change the name Change the name 10 donation we had come in from it's me hawkeye g love gdq and love all the staff who make it happen thank you so much and y'all please if you're out there be sending some love for our
tech crew they have been working so hard this week to get things going and it looks like we
have some life back in this i'm to send it back over to Kyoto
Computer...
What's your name again? Anyway, play some games!
Let's get this done!
Oh, fuck! We're back! I mean the good news is we can do another countdown.
It was so dark!
Darker?
The darker the dark.
Alright should we do another countdown?
Let's do it for three.
Three, two, one!
Go again.
Go go go!
Yeah, Borre special attack there was sabotaging the entire stream.
Yeah.
True.
This one is not nearly as hardcore.
Thankfully, the entire time we've been vibing out to this amazing
I love safety spot.
All of the songs in this game are really good.
This soundtrack is amazing, like really
when you sit down and unpack the music of Undertale Yellow
it's very high quality stuff
Let's unpack!
Make sure to heal after this.
Yeah, please.
Please heal.
So the last attack...
I will, I promise.
Moray and Edson up now.
I would never go into this attack anything less than 20.
And Ace here team up to perform the worst
attack ever because it's just random if you can nail it yep oh
that one is pretty good yeah and that's the end of the fight.
Yay!
Now we're in some pressing, I believe we were asked a question about our favorite characters?
Favorite characters?
Yeah. From this game?
Hmm.
Uh,
I mean,
I'm a big fan of Starlow personally.
I also really like Martlet a lot.
Mooch and Martlet for me.
Y'all are crazy.
Axis is where it's at!
You know what?
I mean,
I also like Axes a lot too.
He goes like beep boop boop boop.
Am I allowed to comment?
No.
Nooo.
We all know what you're going to say.
Anyway, I'm gonna save because if I don't buy this armor here that's really bad.
Yeah. You noticed earlier when you saved with Martlet the save text was instant
because Flowey doesn't like appearing when other people are with you
and we all suddenly crash the hammer.
Did you get it? Okay, cool.
Nice!
Funny thing is in practice I actually just left.
Yeah.
Yup.
And that's the only armor we get until
we got another one. Alright, so
we had 1 hard fight and now we have
half? Half an half?
Easier to be honest.
Definitely easier than...
First half would
have been quite
easier.
If we were playing
a regular pacifist,
that fancy holster
would be our final armor.
So what's the story
with this again?
Can someone explain
to me?
He ties you up
with his rope?
What?!
Soul Mode! Tied Up.
Yeah.
So anyways, who do you think would win?
Do you think an actual sheriff of a town would win or the Uparokate?
The Uparokate okay it's too strong yeah star lowe's attacks are no match for
the power of moving here's a fun fact starlo is right-handed yet he shoots with his left
this is because he is stupid yeah who would win the indianapolis colts are
holding left shout out to shea who didn't know you could do this i yeah i
i learned this yesterday and like what this is cheating now that's not that attack it's
pretty different you have to actually like hold left or right of it and then you hold off yeah
probably have some time for that we haven't talked about a donation fantastic
50 donation from ratched Flip Notes.
Yeah!
Keep on winning, Kmart Cassandra!
I can't stop winning!
Probably have time for another?
More folks weighing in on the bid war, $500 come in from Sybils.
Me when spare Saroba.
Okay.
That's true. Shout out civil's fellow undertale felt through content
creator great person we're in the part of the fight that actually starts getting kind of tough
especially this attack this attack is honestly hard but but once you learn it, it's really fun.
Yeah...
Okay. Cool.
Nice!
I love Rage Dead Redemption and also moving up into the left.
Oh, I hate this attack.
Please be nice.
Dynamite is either really mean or hard.
Yeah!
I've never struggled with it.
It's so hard!
Anyway, if i'm not paying attention here, I just die?
Yeah.
This attack can be kinda mean if you get off the cycle
Some of the hitboxes are a little wonky
I have a great screenshot and some of the hit boxes are a little wonky i'm a bit bigger than that here
i have a great screenshot of me dying to this yeah no it's a really funny just not even close
all right nice no head fight nice so remember if to surrender. You gotta do the France strat here in order
to make sure that you maximize... actually saves five seconds.
Starlow decides that maybe he shouldn't kill Clover.
Also, uh...
The robot?
And now Starlow will remove his hat and
NERD!
Nerd! During the passivist credits you actually see like a fully,
like, Sarlo in his regular clothes without
the outfit and this sprite
is called nerd-lo. I love it so much.
Yep.
Is he Marlet? Oh yeah, Marlet's been incarcerated this whole
time. Yeah, yeah. Tax evasion or something like that.
Yeah, Marlet was in jail the entire time. So Marlet is a royal guard
so she would have more authority than the Wild East.
But they just didn't believe her!
She forgot her ID...
The feds got her.
Anyway we're gonna try to do an up bag here.
Shout out to Sfub!
So it lets you interact with this male whale and then
the second male whale who was there at the entire time
and his bag of
mail is going to transform into a basket by magic.
I love you, Basket Clover!
And now we are going to backtrack.
The bag works in very similar to the punch card
where you get movement back in a cutscene.
It's the same principle as if
you're familiar with the Punch Card glitch
in Undertale.
Remember that red X we talked about?
Yeah, lets you move in cutscenes.
So now,
the suspicious man has blown a suspicious hole in this suspicious wall
i want to look at the end here it's almost like i smell a golden item and oh oh there it is.
That's the third golden item
and last one we need to access
secret boss
Who?
Anyway We didn't turn off the fan because...
Yeah you can turn off the fan to get rid of the sandstorm.
Wait why'd you get caught by a sand storm?
I'm dusty!
So there's no choice or lag, so it's very...if you press X there the male whale will say oof at you and then leave.
Yeah.
I think we got time for a donation.
Fantastic! $5 here from SemiHypercube.
Cushion capers!
Yeah!
You saved all of us, you're a pacifist!
Well you would be if you spare Saroba!
Good luck on the run it's really cool seeing a game like this being around at gdq yeah
it's very close i remember you are justices
clover you kill some of us all right you're in neutral you're a neutral
saroba says we need to go slap Asgore, because Asgore...
I think she might be hiding things from us but I'm not sure.
She seems pretty trustworthy.
We probably have some more time for donations?
Fantastic! Let's take a $7.27 donation from Svul.
I don't know why everyone is getting Cucumber's name wrong,
it's so easy to spell and pronounce!
It's easy!
We're entering the Steamworks. This is actually an area that...
Steamworks? I sure hope it does, yeah.
This is an area that Saroba's husband worked in.
Uh, I don't know what happened to him.
What's his name?
The Jin, I think? The Jin, I think.
This is the Jinn.
Anyway... Stop doing this puzzle weird!
No! You do it bad!
I'm not the one with the runner badge
here so that's actually pretty true uh
i'm the main runner but shay and astro are on backup
y'all really wanted this run.
We all needed yellow, anyway this hitbox is like very elongated for some reason so you can interact with it from far away.
We got time for another
donation. I've got a $100
donation here from Blau Drach.
Absolutely loving this
run. Never played this game before,
but this run makes me want to try it out.
Play it! It's free! Please play this game!
Also... don't you DARE hurt Tsuroba, Yoshi Cadaver!
What kind of passaccess are you?! Spare Saroba!
Cut the six seconds.
Alright, we gotta flip the switch to turn on...
PEPTO-BISMOLAND!
You've heard of Disneyland, get ready for Pepto Bismismoland do you like the color pink good you better also
this song is really good banger none of you are going to try to gaslight me and tell me
this is purple right just making sure i think there is pretty solidly colored okay anyway uh saroba wants
us to like we're supposed to go back to get sorobo but we're gonna do the fly route and again no like
she keeps yapping if you go back here probably one of the most difficult tricks in
that game yeah let's give it one more time i'm going to walk up as invisible let's see
if kiosh against it okay yeah okay not over not a lot half of the skill Okay. Nice!
Not over, not over.
One half of the skip now we have to perform
Saruba Yapping Skip
by hitting this invisible
It's not hard!
Miss either of those
and you are softlocked, so...
That first one was also a two-frame window by the way
She had to run really fast to catch up
anyway safety set wait who's that left who's that oh yeah also uh this room if
you go straight left you will bonk into the wall
Yeah, you have to tap up for one frame in order not to bonk there
Anyway got Gaster on the wall though
Oh
Nice! And now we are going to send Axis to the void.
Bye, Axis!
So Axis tries to move to get level with the player but he can't stop while you're moving
so you just send him
into the void.
Kiyoshi was also
Oh!
Missed menu!
Right!
Right.
My bad.
I thought you had armor on
and I was like oh, you missed it to rng no that was
that was a skill issue for sure ah nice blame an orange i'm giving you an out
all right uh oh Oh, I missed it. No!
So if we weren't playing all golden items there's a trick you can do here in order to gain movement
while on the manta ray and do
all manner of nonsense.
It looks really goofy.
It's even goofier when Saroba is here because her
hitboxes, uh, gigantosaurus rex.
If you remember the events from earlier, there's also a
second place you can do it but if you don't have Saroba
in your party when you go later, uh, your game crashes.
Anyway, this, uh... There's this
secret switch in this room which is hinted at.
There's a mural in front of the door
we're about to go into that shows a little diagram
with the switch there. People when the game first came out
could not figure out what that was supposed to be,
it's so funny to watch.
Someone want to explain opening
the menu on the vents?
So these vents here if you get caught
on them while they're active
They're supposed to send you a little sequence where you dodge things
But they can't do that while the menu is open
Which is actually... The developers knew about it and said we're leaving it in because speedrunners will have fun with it
I was trying to do the control method.
These vents are a little mean.
Yeah, you can do that.
You can also do this.
We did that earlier.
I like doing that.
That one's funny even if it's kind of slow.
Lost like 14 seconds but you know.
Oh no. It's a marathon seconds, but you know... Oh no!
Oh no man!
No,
no,
no!
I'm going to get
a world record now!
Oh!
Open the gate.
Also it's funny
about that menu buffer
strat,
it only works
if you hold control
in spacebar, not C in spacebar.
Anyway, Deltarune?
I love moving
to make my follower
be closer.
Oh, that's why you were saying uh we found out it makes sense one donation excellent 100 in from radix flipnote. Let's go speedrunning!
You can't stop winning!
Let's go speedrunning!
Stop winning!
Let's be financially responsible!
Alright, so we unlocked this door.
Where does Soroba go? I don't know!
So AGI
or all golden items requires you to gather
all four golden items. The thing is that
there's a glitch which lets you duplicate them, but
the category does require all four.
Three cactuses and then whatever that other thing
is for... I got my early game cactus
farm going in Minecraft.
It's a delta revenge. It's Yeah. Behind the door, it's...
It's a Delta Revenge!
It's Microfrogit.
But even more powerful than Microfrogit,
Oh no.
Just remember you all asked for this
it's some sort of evil silhouettes
is that shade Is that Shayne? It's me!
What are you doing in there?
Why was I in the special thanks, you ask?
I foreshadowed it. It's me.
I'm the secret boss of Undertale Yellow!
This is
Macro Frogget,
who has all manner of frog
based warfare, such as the save
frogs from Mother 3 in a Frogger sequence also an absolute banger of
a song you know that one was just mean you have to grab these uh green frogs here in order to
finish the fight and kyoshi dodges his attack very weird and badly but what do you
mean okay oh no I can't dodge the attack you don't get hit so you need to grab
that green frog Oh funny bug it can do get you for some reason. Which can... so funny bug!
It can do damage to you if it hits you at
the right angle.
Zord?
Fix it.
We got the two shooting at us here.
Ah! That's fine. I got the two shooting at us here.
It's fine.
So, the reason why I equipped Fancy Holster before this fight...
...I give up consistently running away from enemies but if I didn't, I would be taking like 7 damage per hit.
Yeah.
Especially the attack after this next one coming up
can be really annoying to get the green frog on.
And we got
Froggen attacking you while
Flying Frog here over here
attacks you with bullets.
So, we have the Frog composing here.
If the... you have to like
stay on the left side
because if the green
frog jumps
and you're
on the right side
it becomes
inaccessible.
Yeah.
And then you
just lose two turns.
We got a frog
from Chrono Trigger here.
I love safety threads.
You can't hurt you in the top right unless he hits you with that shockwave,
but he missed because he's stupid.
Thundercats ho.
Anyway, fun fact, Shay is actually a frog piling in the human body.
And this is my secret giant mech I keep it in my garage yeah you're gonna check it out sometime
there we go we got all five dollars
all five for all over now Wait, what's going on?
Are we waking up?
Why is the fight still happening?
There's one more?
Missed a frog!
Come on man!
It's worried frog. Come on, man. Oh no. Maybe it's worried.
Watch out!
Oh wow.
See, I did this funny thing called lying.
That wasn't actually me.
They modeled me after this
mega Froggit!
As you can see,
the resemblance is striking.
Uncanny.
Some beautiful
animation coming up. And he's about to hit you
with the smooth as silk
30 FPS animation like he's out of a
Zelda CD-i game.
It's beautiful. It's beautiful.
It's beautiful.
Collection time!
He's got the red eyes like
Pengu.
Just like how the soul also just hesitates before going to collect the frog.
The soul is being drawn in through magic, like Froggett's too powerful.
And that is the final Froggett!
And that's it! Surprise! It was all a team of three.
Wait, a dream?
Amore?
Amore?
Stopped.
But we do get a very awesome item, the gold bandana that gives you 12 defense.
And because we are on easy mode, that is 15 defense,
which means that we are taking only one damage for the rest of
the development further there isn't an enemy in the pacifist route that could deal more than that
it's just impossible it is absurd so axis is a robot created by chujin who's uh sir was uh husband uh and he is made
to apprehend humans and we're human so he's in from after us anyway donations
oh no rod you think you can throw me off that easy?
$10 donation here from Jill.
Kaleidoscope.
Kaleidoscope.
This run has been so fun to watch.
I'm ecstatic to see
so many of my friends in one place
playing a game that holds such
a special place in my heart.
Love you all!
Shout out Jillian, Undertale Yellow Dove!
Jillian has been like a part of the Skeetern community since like...
She's here really. And it's been amazing yeah she's great
yeah love you i think we can fit one more or no what do you want no okay
anyway by the power of walking diagonally were're easily able to outrun the MacBook 2000 here.
Who cannot walk diagonally yet Apple hasn't released it as a new feature.
Yeah.
How? Just how, like it's just not possible. Such a good case.
Oh I dropped the safety jacket.
No!
It's not the safety jacket. No! How will it be safe?
Anyway if you do a certain
menu here...
Axis is
pacified he cannot attack. He cannot attack!
Eye access!
Ow.
Ow.
Ow.
Uh, donation?
Leave this guest scene as long enough?
Fantastic. $10 in from Malted Coffee
Best of luck with the
run, Kentucky Zero
Also $5 in from
Daveth Baratheon.
I'd never heard of this fan game before,
but this run has me convinced I need to check it out.
Play it!
Thanks for running it.
It is free!
It's free.
It is the best fan game you will ever play.
Anyway, I have two tricks to do and I can't say it.
Yes.
Yeah.
Kana go skip and greenhouse skip.
There we go!
Skip Sarova's tragic backstory which he talks about her I think our first one is going to be a skip. So there we go!
We've got Sorova's tragic backstory, which talks about her dead daughter...
Wonder what happened there?
Unlucky.
Okay, Flowey was telling us to ditch her but she's too fat for that.
Now this next skip, we're gonna abuse the fact that while battles occur you have no collision.
Battle scenes occur on top of the main scene.
Ooh! Uh-oh.
It's fine.
Okay, got it?
Uh-oh.
One frame off... There we go!
Alright cool. And the flip right in.
Right in!
So there's a back shortcut you can put out there later but
the collision for it- the trigger is always active
so by going uh out of bounds using the oh boy yes all right i gotta start preparing something
oh yeah yeah remember we ran into...
This one's actually
fun! Hold on.
Your laptop is so dusty. I know.
Dusty? How many monsters have you killed?
A lot.
It's a good thing the camera isn't on, otherwise it might've doxxed yourself over here!
In the universe where I didn't get any fun events,
uh...I woulda said this round isn't funny anymore and we should just go home.
But we did get a fun event!
Everyone can stay, don't leave please.
We should've unzipped us.
Anyway you can skip the cutscene but it makes the next trick very hard
Very inconsistent And you can't save that's the jillian brodsky for finding
the the trick that we're not going to be doing but saves like 10 seconds anyway it's just an overflow
got on a nail. Didn't get it.
This is why we don't want mail, because we want to be doing a
menu on the mail. Perfect!
Yes that's why we got rid of the mail earlier so we could do this trick
This gives us uh... A little bit of skippy-skippy.
You get to skip the fun part. Fun fact, sometimes it can just not work because the robot
doesn't join your party again. I love that kind of game. Don't know why that happens.
Yeah, yeah. I'm already reading it.
Ready to insert the variables.
We have to do some really high level math here.
Yeah.
I don't know what they're talking about.
We've got like a calculator to do this.
Wait, what?
A very high-level quantum physics yeah oh also the music layering here is because
of the glitch you are not going crazy honestly it's kind of bangs. Probably donations?
Yeah.
Just some donation?
Fantastic!
We have a $5 donation from $5 Donation
which says we got a $5 donation
from $5 donation
which says we got a $5 donation from $5 Donation, which says we got a $5 donation from $5 donation
Which says we got a $5 donation from $5 donation, which says hi Capybara
Capybara!
Coconut doggy. I got a quark in my room.
I'm getting so many new ones, I love this.
Happy bara, I'm keeping that one, that's excellent.
Alright we have to stare really closely here so i need to channel my inner one shot speed earner
just see this in one frame we'll see it for one frame see if kiyoshi can recognize it
also cute cousin uh six something six five six nine nine
all right all right all right we've got all the codes and I've read the dust particles? Yeah.
We just have done some high level math here.
We used our calculator so...
I don't think you need to interact with any of these furnaces Kiyoshi
I think you should go to the keypad and insert a 2142.
2142?
I think it'll work!
Yeah, I have this feeling...
How do you know?!
I mean, I'm just doing the math right now.
That's what it's telling me.
I've been hacking into the mainframe.
Okay, 2142. so the reason why it
works is that a 32-bit signed integer has a minimum value of negative 2 billion 147 million
four hundred and eighty three thousand six hundred one right yes oh no you're wrong 283,628. 2141 right?
Yes it's 2142.
Oh no! 2142
2142
And it works!
Oh the last-the third code!
The third code!
The third code. 1727. Yeah! Yes!
What is this run?
When you see it.
When you see it.
When YOU see it?
Alright so uh Asher would
you like to explain
what this skip is?
So normally we have to go through and
go through an entire cutscene
to get a code.
However,
by using
I can't believe this
Using math
and a
code searcher
we can do
racism skip
two.
If you're wondering what happened to the first racism skip two if you're wondering what happened to the first race we'll get there
wait about 10 minutes but waffle why is it called that well it's because we skipped a cutscene where trusion talks about how he doesn't like humans or something yeah it's
uh lore stuff i don't know something media literacy because we ran into
gerson or well past him earlier because you have a fun value. No!
CD?
This loses three seconds.
But because you got a fun value
event, just the first code and your fun value are enough.
Because every... The codes are determined from when you start the game.
So everything's determined right at the start. Just the first code and the fun value is enough
to find out the second and third code if you didn't get a fund value you have to find out
the second code the normal way but then the first and second code are always enough to
always find out the third code you never have to watch the cutscene where, you know it's like
oh Asgore doesn't
like Chugin's creations because they're dangerous
and he got rejected blah blah
blah lore. Play the game! It's really
good. Now there are some times where you'll get a code and at most
you have to deal with maybe two variations of the third code
so just flip a coin and hope to write the first time but...
You should say it.
Should I?
Yeah.
Do it.
You. Okay.
What a rebel!
I didn't know Kiyoshi was short for can't listen.
Anyway, so Robo gets locked out and we'll be banging on this wall.
Also shoutout to a small piece of collision at the bottom that prevents you from hugging that bottom wall.
I love running neutral!
Axis's protocol prevents him from attacking an unarmed person so
Axis hands you the trash can lid and says that's a weapon
time to die!
Yeah but not the actual gun we're carrying.
Anyway, Axis here...
His first two attacks have RNG to how many balls he throws
in order for us to...
Orb?
That's RNG.
You can get not enough to fill up the tick-o meter on the top there here as another RMG instance.
So hopefully we're going to get a lot of Axis' balls here, hopefully he throws
a bunch of them. Come on. Look at all these orbs!
Let's go.
Come on. Awwww!
Why bother? And now
the punish you for your bad RNG is gonna hit you with a Kamehameha.
Axis could solo Goku.
Yeah, Axis could solo Goku.
He absolutely couldn't by the way.
Any power scalers in chat who can confirm? couldn't, by the way.
Any power scalers in chat who can confirm?
Those first two
cycles of getting
the big orb that you can hit Axis
with is RNG and missing it's about 10 seconds for each
yep at a high level that's very annoying my PB misses both of them
anyway there's this orange laser here uh it's supposed to hit you if you're not moving or if you're...
Moving.
If you're moving, you won't get hit by it.
However, Kyoshi does something called cheating here so he's not hit.
Yeah.
It's actually just holding down up or down.
The game is only checking if you are moving and that's all. so we can't hit. It's actually just holding down, up or down.
The game is only checking
if you're moving
so the game simply checks
if the movement keys
are held
which is funny
because in the Decibat fight
the orange attacks
they actually check
for player velocity like they should
seven years very difficult attack here uh you can't get hit by this unless you are named
shea in which case you could get hit by it yeah
you just have a special copy of the game that just gives you all bad rng
it was thought to be impossible to be hit if you were standing still i proved
that wrong because of course i did I think we have time for donations. Yeah,
we got time. For the end of the fight.
Jammers. Love the song.
Alright, I've got a $15 donation here
from Kyubi!
So excited to see Kyubi Caber on the stage! Best of luck on the run, also Shay it's late go
to bed. No I knew somebody was going to say it.
Also, shout out to the delta-run explosion effect.
My favorite.
Got time for more donations?
Yes.
Fantastic!
$25 here from Pluto's Peaches. This run
would probably make a certain robot say
what? How?
Keep it up, Kaiju Cardre.
Kaiju!
I like how people who don't know me have picked up on the joke we've been
we've been doing this bit for like over a year yeah i may have been leaning into this one
you got another one in you? Kyushu sends in $50.
Yeah!
Hi, Kyoto.
Super proud to be behind you supporting all my buddies
on stage and the ever-important work MSF does around
the world.
I reckon you've got this speed run in a bag. important work MSF does around the world.
I reckon you've got this speed run in a bag, go, go,
go also fight the robot and to check on that spare
Sarova is currently ahead by over $1,000.
Time is closing in.
Any wheelbarrows?
I was about to say but go for it.
We got to fix that Toronto.
Another? Ten dollars in from Jade! Good morning,
gamers! Glad to see such a great fan game be unpacked
by such a fantastic runner.
Thank you to all the staff and the couch for putting this on!
Also, the Manta Rays dialogue got skipped so I'll say it myself...
I lost the game long ago. No!
Anyway, I'd like to introduce the crowd
to Kyoshi's girlfriend.
Yeah? It's nobody!
Yay! I'm such a good friend.
Does anybody want to explain why there's nothing?
There is this whole sequence where you have
to create Axis' girlfriend
as you can see,
this is the placeholder one in the overworld
there is no place holder in battle, it's just invisible
and we skipped
a whole sequence
so the game thankfully
doesn't crash.
Yeah.
It's just...
there's nothing.
It's really funny.
There's just nope right?
Ah my one true love
nothing.
I love the void nothingness.
Here comes the biggest skip in this game.
Yo it's time for Racism Skip Ultra Deluxe.
Yeah...
Uh oh. It's fine. Okay you got this. deluxe. Yeah.
Uh-oh.
It's fine. Okay, you got this.
There we go. Nice.
So when you see Clover move in the cutscene, that is fake Clover.
Evil Clover. Real Clover is held hostage and is currently invisible on the right side of the screen.
However when Edd is going to show up here and grab Clover
And that's going to destroy fake Clover
Giving real Clover the ability to move again
So we're gonna wait until a very specific
moment where the plot flag gets set after starlow goes into the elevator but before you get warped
to the dunes to do this super long quest and if you leave the screen right about now,
the game has
the plot flag set
to let you into
the final area
but it doesn't warp you
to do the long side quests
where you have
to find them up.
Oh,
that's centered. Yeah. Optimal though side quest oh the center yeah optimal the long
side quests where you have to find it out about
shujin's backstory and all that stuff all right we're skipping it play the
game yourself if you want to see it. It's time to hear Pete.
I love medium wait me do another one.
Hey, I recognize this motif.
Wait there would never be another
medium. Wait, we are playing
Undertale, aren't we? It's Holland!
Oh!
Wait a second! And now it's gone.
Aww.
Demonetized.
Anyway, gotta get past
the final choiser there and we meet
Martlet up on the roof. Players who have
played all of this game's route may be traumatized or infuriated
by this particular concept.
We're going into the final...
Wait, no, never mind.
We're not playing justice right now.
It was a two and three chance okay
martin is gonna team up with us one final time we get a great song here called flock together very
catchy yeah i have the little fist bump anyways catch you. Yeah.
I love the little fist bump.
Anyways, to point out the racism skip we did is a newer version
there was an older version where we actually went back to dunes
and just skipped another trigger that allowed us
to skip all that. And that one was actually better because it allowed us to duplicate
martlet so yeah you'd have two marlots up there
yeah and that's why this category is bad now
yeah so we're gonna take the forbidden elevator
that wasn't accessible in Undertale
to go to the part of New Home with much better sprite quality.
I love, uh...
I love the part in Flawed Passive as if we fight Saroba, where you go back to regular
new home.
You go back to Undertale's new home and the discrepancy is very big.
It's hilarious!
Look how good this looks right now.
And if you want to see that donate the fights aerobo yeah yeah yeah
so if you auto mash through choicers it doesn't set the choices properly and we can just take
eight adult sodas out of the car, get crunk.
It's actually just sparkling water.
There's this whole joke like you can't buy
the adult soda from the bar.
It's supposed to be beer.
Turns out it's actually just water.
It's $20 water!
It's like that stuff you get at the hotel they upcharge you for?
I can't get over the simplicity of this strat
It's very simple!
Uh-huh, uh-huh, go on.
So anyway, by doing specific drops here it kind of corrupts the game's text a little bit.
I would never crash the game.
And the text just gets obliterated!
This is actually a glitch in Undertale too.
It's really interesting because normally when
Tex overlaps in this game, he'll just crash.
In this instance it performs
exactly how Undertale does. There are some other cut scenes that are like that also
i think we may need to get star trekker i think he just broke his spine yeah
starlo when sarlos sits here you know three-fourths perspective shot very difficult
to draw he shrinks by about 2 feet.
It's very funny. Anyway, final boss time.
That was about two thirds of a meter for Yu
on the other end of the pond.
Also if you see me
getting hit in this
fight I'm not bad
I promise.
So we need to be at
low HP here because
there's an attack
at the end it
halves your attack
or halves your HP
a bunch of times we want to be low but not at two because if
you're at 2hp um it tries the half your hp too many times it causes a rounding error and causes
the game to crash specifically with gold specifically with golden Bandana.
In the normal True Passivist route, I believe it's like...
It is 2 right?
Yeah, it is 2.
My bad!
We don't know if three can crash or not, but
we're not taking that risk.
For reference, I've done
three like five times in practice
and it hasn't crashed, but...
Paranoid.
You never know! This could be the one time!
This could be a lot!
This could be the 1-in-1 million chance it crashes.
It's never happened before.
If that happened, it would be several minutes from time loss uh kosher pickle here will
be taking damage in order to get their hp nice and low donation how about five dollars here from air Donation?
How about $5 here from Aero Artwork.
It's so unbelievable that a game I got to work on has helped people in so many ways,
and it's more than I could ever ask for
in life. Working on Undertale Yellow has legit changed my life, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity! Thank you to the team, my friends. Thank you to the streamers.
Thank you to SGDQ.
Thank you to everyone!
Also Shay...
That couch is looking pretty comfy!
I think it's time to go to bed. Also spare my girl!
She did nothing wrong!
So, so Robo just do
less swings because you have a lot of HP?
Yup. Yeah it saves time to be at low HP
cause she has to do less swings and oh!
I like the color red
Wait why didn't you die there? Oh I'm cheating.
Ohhhhhh!
Oh I get it!
Anyway, just one question...
How do you want to be a big shot?
Oh right, the yellow soap does have power.
That's right! Yeah!
Yeah, I didn't notice that.
Wait why wasn't Clover using this earlier?
Ohhh are they stupid?
Is there a lore reason?
So as cool as the Big Shot is
it's really bad.
It does three pellets worth
of damage but it takes five pellets worth of damage, but it takes five pellets worth
of time to charge up.
So it's just not worth it. Personally,
I think it should do 100 damage.
I think you should be able to do the big shots, fam.
Anyway, Sorobo here will put on the kitsune mask
don't ask how it fits yeah don't look at the side profile
anyway time for repeat. Good sprite work jump scare.
This is so cool. I love this fight.
This is the theme song.
This is A Mother's Love, one of the best tracks in the game!
Not my personal favorite but that's not in this route.
I love it when you retreat in.
I don't really have to focus on this fight because I have the Golden Bandana, but you know.
Yeah, Golden Bandana makes her only do one HP.
If this was a normal route, I would have Fancy Holster and take three per hit,
and that's pretty scary.
Anyway, the most powerful
ability of the yellow soul is
the frame one invincible dash
that gives you iframes for its entire
duration. It is a frame
one invincible dash use it please i watch so many people
play this fight they don't use the dash it's like it gives you iframes
you could spawn iframes and then a little known fact as well if you hold down the x button it also
extends your dash and your iframes yep which means if you're dashing a bunch you don't get hit
yep and it helps a lot especially if you're going for no hits or taking as few hits as possible.
Little bit of RNG here. Shoot! Shoot his shield. If these things that are falling
are too far to the right right it'll just block the shots
i actually didn't know you could go to the right side there
also shout out to uh the old version of this attack where every time you hit those bells
it would chin on a shockwave.
Yeah, Eros sent me a screenshot of an in-dev
version of his attack where every single time you hit the bell the white shockwave comes
out and its like oh my goodness!
So we talked about how
the big shot is kind of bad but when you have down time and you can't actually do
damage it's pretty good wait who is this guy
he's dying. Oh, the- oh, the kids! Oh, the kid! W!
Zeroba, I'm dying.
Zeroba please before I die...
Recite...
The words to my favorite theme song from my favorite cartoon and 10. wait is that a can of coke
no way all right so this fight actually has four phases this is the third one
yep uh we'll probably lock in the incentive after their next cutscene yeah this is pretty
much similar to the first a lot of random attacks but i think we have time for donations
fantastic i have a 25 donation here from 30 aces
Hi, kyoshi astra shay waffle and all the buddies on the back couch
i'm super happy to see this game on the big stage,
and I couldn't think of anyone better to show it off.
Putting this donation towards sparing Siroba!
Good luck and have fun!"
That's gonna be a yikes for me.
Asus how could you do me like this?
We got time for one more.
$60 in from Vanilla!
Undertale Yellow?! My favorite fan game
and has the best cast of characters?
Let's spare Fox Mom.
So now instead of the yellow bells being static they rotate
The evolution of gameplay mechanics good game play design
It's like this game is designed well wow crazy now what do you
mean they didn't play test it ah it's too difficult it's too easy you can beat all
these fights by just standing still oh that's actually pretty true.
So backstory-wise...
Basically, Saroba or Shujin is trying to create an alternative
to finding human souls so they can can break the barrier. And this involves
creating a serum, and Trujan
dies before he's able to finish his work. Saroba
tries to finish it, and it
definitely will work when she uses
it 100%. It's gonna work?
Wait, so if it worked, why is she after Clover?
She's just really mad at Clover
for some reason. I don't know.
Is that a lore reason?
She attempts to use this.
Well, Kaneko asks her
to use the quote-unquote
perfected serum.
Everything should work
but it unfortunately...
Fun fact,
there's a fun event on that TV.
Oh yeah! Yeah in 1.0 Fun fact, there's a fun event on that TV.
Oh yeah!
Yeah in 1.0 there was a fun value event and it could show up in this cutscene which broke the mood completely.
Saroba what are you doing? I told you not to do this. Saroba?
Saroba... What are you doing? I told you not to do this. Saroba?
No!
Why isn't she making the most logical action here?
You mean a character makes a mistake?
Is she stupid?
That's bad writing.
Play of the game.
Round winning kill.
You now have a human soul, everything will be good.
This surely won't go wrong.
One... two... three... This surely won't go wrong. 1, 2, 3, 4...
5, 6, 7...
Aww!
Unfortunately. What?! Aww. Seven seconds. Unfortunate.
Seven?
Seven?!
What?!
Seven!
So the reason that Saruba wants Clover's soul is because Clover is love one.
In Yellow's canon, the
Blue Soul kills monsters or some
monsters and has corruption
And so they want...
Saroba believes that the formula will work if
she has a pure soul. phase four we're getting close to
the bid war closing so get your donations in right now also absolute banger I love when the main lightitmotif comes up!
I'm so glad that Undertale invented music.
Anyways, speaking of the old version
of the game these attacks in phase 4 and
phase 3 used to be way harder they used
to have more complex attacks but now in phase four and phase three used to be way harder.
They used to have more complex and
random attacks, and now we have
just a few... We have a lot of
simple attacks. We get it, Shay. You're good at the game.
Anyway, shout out Adona for no hitting this.
Oh yeah.
On the old version, right?
No, on new version.
On new version.
But it's still really impressive.
Yeah.
Because there's a lot of stuff that goes on, I think.
It's probably about time to lock in the incentive issue.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Lock it in for spare kill. Also don't die.
See now they're rotating and Ciroba! so don't die.
See, now they're rotating and Saroba's moving!
It's evolution.
That was really close there, Keshia. You only could have gotten hit
ten more times. Alright, I've got the verdict
for you when you're ready.
Not even close.
Spare Saroba
with $3,003.
It's over
9,000!
What?
9,000? That can't be right.
Thank you everybody for getting all your donations in
to save Fox Mom.
Unfortunately since this is a prequel Fox Mom. Unfortunately, since
this is a prequel and we know that
Asgore has the yellow soul in Undertale, Clover's
doomed. Sorry, Clover!
Sorry, Clover!
But hey, so Roba will live on in our hearts.
Maybe in a different route they'll survive.
I love that one tweet that UndertaleYellow tweeted out
on April Fool's says Glover lives in the end.
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Fun fact, the same thing that happens with the Martlet text way back when where if you're holding auto-masher and it just doesn't stop she'll'll just keep saying I.
It took me a while to even notice
that was a thing. We didn't even notice that because our old
automasher would skip frames.
And so if it skipped the frame
it would be... Yeah we're using using an AutoMasher mod.
Yes. The mod is significantly better than
jerry-rigging in a
AHK script. I can speak English very good!
Hello everybody! Alright. I can speak English very good. Hello, everybody.
All right.
We're getting close to the end of the run,
so I want to do a few shout-outs.
Shout-outs to all my friends here who helped commentate this run.
I feel like if they weren't here i would have had
a mental breakdown but i was pretty cool on this whole time i had a good time uh shout
outs to back couch for being here to support me shout outs to my family who's sitting right there.
Shout outs to everyone
who has pretty much supported me up to this point.
I've been into speed running since like 2016,
I haven't done it since
five years ago, but
I've always wanted to do it and
never thought I would be up here
And here I am!
And you're out of here. Flashbang!
Also, lore is happening or something?
I don't know. It's really sad.
We have all these quotes that we definitely read when we were playing.
We know all of these quotes, such as
you must have places to go,
correct? Who was said by
someone somewhere
so clover's getting all the you know all the all the heartfelt memories that we
mashed through i guess they just have super fast you know understanding
of good comprehension and in this ending so if we had killed soroba we get an alternate version where
clover and martin go to asgore, and Asgore and Clover fight.
And it's an unwinnable fight a la
Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 style
where Clover loses but here
Clover willingly
gives their soul up to the monster kind.
One day!
Honestly, Clover would have beaten Asgore if they just had the burnt pan.
I don't know why they're using the empty gun it's such a bad weapon.
Maybe that's why they died
and if you play neutral by the way if your undertale fan haven't played this game yet try the neutral ending yeah it's not like undertale or
it's just a part of pacifist you will love the final one very good it is so good casually
i feel like that's my favorite route, casually, is neutral.
I honestly wish we could show the neutral
final boss. It is
absolutely unbelievable.
If you're looking for a challenge, Justice
is very good as well.
I'd say the neutral ending boss is maybe the standout.
Anyway, time for donations?
While they're yapping?
Absolutely! Let's take
a $25 donation
from Triforce Riku.
Hello there,
runners!
Please laugh. First time donating. Glad to do it during a great run of
a great game for a great cause.
Good luck and spare the Jyn's wife.
The Jyn.
Groobug!
Yay!
Wasn't she just trying to kill us like two seconds ago?
Don't worry about it.
She said she was sorry!
Time will be when Soroba leaves the screen.
I think we got time for a little more donations?
Yeah, yeah.
That seems pretty long.
$50 here from Dead Cat!
Oops!
I'm a bit late because of European time zones.
I still can't believe our game is being
run at SGDQ. Thank you
to the entire UTY speedrunning
community. Seeing this live has been
an absolute blast so far and I'm
sure it'll only get better. Shoutouts to the
Undertale Yellow speedrun community.
Yeah.
Everyone there is so good.
Shoutouts to Zillicon and Issue for finding like half
of the stuff in this game.
Zillicon found the most important one
which is racism skip ultra deluxe.
True? I think we can squeeze in
one more. $50 from
Ellie Jelly. High from the back
couch.
Never watched this run in full,
but I'm excited to see this game being torn apart.
Can't wait for the Marlet
to go its Marting time
and mart all over the place.
That's true. Also kill Cirova. She does that. Time and Mark all over the place also kills Saroba.
She does that!
It peaks, I cried.
Time is coming up pretty soon once
Saroba walks off screen.
As Undertale lore says, humans can live a
slight amount of time without their soul.
And... Clover needs to take it quick and dusty.
Clover just needs to quit now. And...
Time!
You really yellowed this Undertale.
121-20, that's really good.
That truly was an Undertale Yoda.
I'm pretty sure that's basically all the same as your practice,
yeah, and other practices.
Very consistent.
Will it work just to become another cog in a machine?
You've got so predictable.
Oh, yeah, the following ones.
I could not do this all right now but maybe you will. You've grown so predictable. Oh yeah, the following words...
I could not do this all right now but maybe you've earned your rest.
Afterall there's always another.
Does he know?
Does he know?
You guys have played Everton.
I suppose this is where we part ways.
Oh, who am I kidding?
Until we meet again...
friend.
Aw, they're dying. Oh no!
No man!
This is so sad
Can we get some F in chat?
F in chat for Clover
Yeah well that has been undertale yellow thank you can't say that until the title drops
what's this again wait hey what's the name of this game again?
Wait, what's the name of this game again? Does anybody know?
I don't know.
Purple, Amore Blue...
Green, I think StarSate is green
Yeah yeah yeah yeah right now
oh so less pain it's it's the last oh morey blue yeah no no it's
it's it's... It's...
Undertale Yellow!
Roll credits.
This was an Undertale Yellow.
Truly was an undertale yellow it really wasn't under telly Thank you for that incredible run, Kimchi Carburetor.
It was great seeing you go to work up there.
Yeah, I get to throw one
in too. I think I'm going to let
everybody else have all the fun.
Alright.
Let's see if we can get caught up on some of the donations that
we had from that run.
Y'all were throwing in so much love and I was just struggling to
keep up over here.
Lots of people contributing toward that incentive.
$50 from Omega Sonic Zero.
How can you call it a pacifist run
if you don't spare everyone?
Spare Saroba.
Amazing watching that happen. Alright right, y'all.
That is going to bring my time at the host desk
to its end for SGDQ24.
Y'all have been amazing.
I will be leaving you in the capable and incomparable hands
of my dear friend Kung Fu Fruit fruit cup y'all be good we're gonna take
a quick break get a drink have a stretch don't get too far we'll be right back I think it's really important to be part of the team.
It's like, you know, I feel such a good following,
big time good following and as somebody who...
I feel like I'm the resident expert
of scary games in my game
which is so funny because I'm like I expert of scary games in my team.
Which is so funny because I'm like,
I'm such a pro at this but it's so bad at playing them
and I love watching experiments
and it was really fun investigating
and like super good
so I kinda wanted to know
what you all think makes
the former speedrunning unique
why that vibe is there
I would say that it's unique because, again, it's a bit too niche.
Like, little people are obviously speedrunning
and it's huge.
And you know, if you're just like,
all the time, but of course speedrunning
is like to play speedrunners
and then you have to be able to do this kind of stuff where you can actually run um so Oh, don't be the people!
What?
No. so. so so so so so so so so. so ¶¶ through your mind Ooh It's like you came back from war
Yeah
You feel it inside
Slipping down
your spine
oooooh, you try to know
yeah, yeah but you can hardly
swallow You can hardly swallow your fears and pains When you can't help but follow
it puts your mind back where you came
red lights, hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Living in love from the words we asked her to say
Living in love if you please again your way
Can you feel the light Sink all of your life inside me But you can't save your sorrow
You fade in dreams
When you can help us find love
And put your back where you came
There's a lot of love is from the words yesterday
living on Good evening, everyone.
Hello! It is Kung Fu Fruit Cup
here with you all for the next uh let's say run and a half
several hours i'm very excited uh following up the amazing mr game
and shout which is so funny because that was the opposite case yesterday.
So wonderful to be able to chill with him for a little bit
and now have some fun with you all for the next few hours.
That was an awesome undertale yellow run just now that
was kind of my first time watching and it was what a wild run what a wild run
just a quick follow-up from that here's a 10 donation from peach ch tay who says shout outs to all froggits delta room chapter
three when i would love to know the answer to that i would love to know that as well.
I'm looking, so we have My Friendly Neighborhood coming
up and I am very excited
and I don't know if you missed it but on the recap
i mentioned that our wonderful runner slighton said something about puppet impressions so i think
that's going to be happening feel free to include those in the donations, I will do
the best that I possibly can. Also just as a heads up we do have some cool things coming
up for the run right after which is Lufia 2. We have a bonus ace run that is currently at $1,380 out of 15,000.
So we are just under 10%.
That is just right after the main run.
We could see an ace or arbitrary code execution
run right after it which would be really cool. Those are always fascinating to
see. There's also something called solve the world's most difficult puzzle. I want to know what's going on there.
Since Lucia 2 has a fiendishly difficult optional puzzle that is normally skipped under speedrun conditions, if is met the runner will complete it for you
so we'll get to see a really cool puzzle that is currently uh eight percent of the way through 625
out of these 7 000. so let's get our donations and remember when you are donating
and you want to put it toward an incentive you want to make sure
to uh mark the incentive that you want anyway enough for me right now let's. Let's take a look at this coming up. so um uh All right, everyone.
Let's get some donations coming in.
Let's hear some of those before we get into the next round.
I'm so ready.
I played My Friendly Neighborhood recently.
Somewhere recently, I would say. Very cool
game, super excited to see the speedrun
and got to talk to Slayton
a little bit about it
can't wait,'s gonna be great also it's called ceo percent which i love so you're gonna see what
that means make sure you stick around we have 50 coming in from Felix Collius.
Thank you so much for your support.
Anonymous also coming in strong this evening with $100.
We also have $50 from Anonymous. Thank you very much, Anonymous. My goodness another $50 from anonymous. Oh my goodness
We've 100 dollars fromraptor who says,
Long time watcher. Not first-time donator.
I hope to attend in person someday.
Love to the tech crew. Less than three.
Agree they work very hard also there's so many fun things to do here i actually just did um the escape room that was
here for the first time that's a cool new thing uh that was offered here at this sgdq and it was great
and with that it looks like it is time for some ceo
percent of my friendly neighborhood so excited for this one slights and it's all you We're going to Hello! My name is Slayton and we are playing today My Friendly Neighborhood.
If you haven't seen this game before, think of Resident Evil on Sesame Street.
Something like that and you have a pretty good idea.
I have a couple commentators back here
if you guys would like to introduce yourselves?
Hi, I'm Nerd.
I did the Poppy run yesterday
and I've ran this game a little bit
I'm Dangerous
I learned to run for this a long time ago
And I never actually submitted it
I should probably do that at some point yeah all right and we actually do have one more a mysterious
voice in the sky if you'd like to introduce yourself oh hello hello uh my name is john
shimansky and i am the am the main developer of my friendly neighborhood.
Developer on the couch! Very exciting!
Developer on the couch in spirit, but ethereally
invoice. Remote is still on the couch.
Alright we're going to get right into it I can explain as we go here
so time won't start until I select the difficulty, so we have a couple seconds here.
I will count it down.
Alright, we're rolling up in our truck
this is longer than i remember
alright in five four three two one In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go!
Alright. Welcome to My Friendly Neighborhood CEO%
This is our 100% version of the run.
Essentially we are going to help every puppet in the game that needs help,
We need to grab every weapon in the game and we need to beat the final boss.
So first off here,
John was very nice to put that button for us there
that lets us skip the entire intro
to the game. We don't have to go into the hotel
and we can grab our nice shotgun right off the bat this is
the main weapon we're going to using for pretty much the entire game when we do have
an extra room to go into here and the safe has a little secret thing. I went too far.
That will help us
in about 10 minutes
defuse.
Alright, and enough ammo to pretty much
get through the starting area.
So dangerous. If you want to help explain what we're going
to be doing in this building here?
Sure!
This is the first studio area that's kind of like
the first main puzzle hub
And as soon as he gets into
the main part of the studio
where the filming actually took place,
it's a giant set
and there's a bunch
of little mini puzzles around
where he has to collect
little children's block tiles that he has to arrange in a certain
order in order to obtain a key that is then going to be
carried to or not a key but a print that is gonna
be carried to another part of the
uh...another part of the game
and that's gonna be used to access the next area.
Alright, and you
just saw me pick up the wrench
the weapon I use to stun our friend Leonard back there.
That is one of the main things we're going to use
throughout the game, is just hitting
the puppets, either whether it's in the back or
in the front, and we also picked up the key
to get into the main area that Dangerous was talking about.
And here we are, the set!
So there are I believe it's four main puppets who are going to be seen
and they all have interchangeable voice lines.
All absolutely
amazing. I recommend if you ever
play this game to just sit and listen
to them. They have far
too many. Agreed. Good job, John! Some of the most incredible dialogue I've ever heard.
And you did see me just walk along a ledge there that doesn't exist
That is a very precise trick of...I'm not precisely sure why if you walk while just barely looking at the
wall you will walk along a non-existent platform and be able to walk um over to get a key that we
usually wouldn't be able to get without walking around
a lot more. And that big bird, the legally distinct big bird is Pearl.
Pearl really trying to mess her run up right now. She can step on you
and deal damage which is not great
because then I would have been knocked into Junebug
one of the other puppets
and that would have been a very bad
start to the run. We only have
4 HP so it's not a lot to work with.
Hopefully we're not grabbed too much and we are going to walk up here...
There is a puppet in a very interesting situation waiting for us in this room over here.
So I will let him speak for himself.
His mouth actually slightly opens as the water goes down.
Nice little touch.
Neil, name Norman!
And I know we have spoken about it before.
If anybody has played this game and has a favorite puppet voice line,
please put that in the donation
and Kung Fu will do her best puppet impression of the voice line.
We talked about this one before.
For the record I am extremely excited to hear please do do that. You're assuming I remember how they all sound exactly but I'm no, no. I am not assuming that personally.
Okay.
I think that makes
it all the more exciting.
Creative license
is very much welcome here.
All right.
And you did see me
pick up the glasses there.
Those are going to be
items to help Pearl uh it is a little
bit of rng on where she will be when we need to help her so we're gonna hope it's a good
location otherwise i kind of just have to run around aimlessly for a little while
also the chocolate bar get to um nerd if you want
to explain what the chalkboard does yeah so the chocolate bar gives gordon a bit of speed boost
uh i'm not sure the exact gap but i believe in around three
chocolate bars it's like double speed
or something like that. So it's going to help us
boot bit faster through these rooms
Worth noting about
the Chalkabar, it lasts for 3
door transitions or 4 screens total so sometimes we'll use a chalk bar early
to set it up for our future room all right so we helped pearl there she didn't have her glasses
she couldn't see that's why she was threatening to step on us.
She really is nice don't worry.
Alright so the answer to the block puzzle in case you're wondering
is neighbor.
It's neighbor!
We got neighbor. We got neighbor.
And I did just unload a shotgun shell
completely out of the blue, that is
because this route has
very, very precise inventory management.
We only really want to manage the inventory twice total in this game
and if I don't do stuff like that it's going to get a little not fun for me in some places.
It's going to be the same with this weapon right here
This is I believe the Rolodexer
Very actually creative item
As you can see at the top there's letter Z
It goes through a bunch of letters as you can see at the top there's letter Z, it goes through a bunch of letters
as you shoot the alphabet. I am going to ask for
silence here for a second, there is a
nearly frame perfect trick we're gonna hope I get here.
No, I didn't get it.
But you can completely skip having to walk up those stairs,
like, up towards the stairs over there and up the
stairs and enter that second cutscene
and just skip right into looking at
and grabbing the tape that I just grabbed.
The tape itself is
pretty much our
stay down item in this game um please work
all right and jumbo's gonna hang out there for the rest of the run midair
don't worry she is okay she enjoys it. That was slick as heck, dude!
Yeah, you shoot her and then
if you tape her real quickly while
she's just about to fly away, you can
tape her midair and that's how we do that. It's not just
expedient for speedrunning purposes. It's really funny.
It is. It also
helps make it a bit more consistent because
she can just fly all the way down the hallway
and I don't need to waste the time walking down here
uh instead this way you just get to walk over there and go straight to the door
and then she gets to see her do the funny stance for the rest of the game
we're gonna stun the rest of these puppets and we are now going to enter
The one area in the game where frame rate is important
So, we are going to turn on Vsync
Go down to 60 FPS.
We also have in here, this is
Ray. This is the next public I'm going to have to help.
I got stuck on the stairs.
Ray is best boy.
Ray is a very good mechanic.
If things go well here, I should be able to stun this norman and walk through him
nice okay well done so that is very very precise
um norman as you heard behind
me, multiplied into about seven
different Normans.
We used to just juke around him
but that is slow
and a Japanese runner by the name of Kirukuro discovered that.
I'm going to toss over to one of you guys, whoever wants to do it while I do this puzzle.
To explain?
Yeah, explain the puzzle! Oh, to explain the puzzle, puzzle yeah so this is the punch card
puzzle so uh the next thing about this is if you understand
if you know the answer to the puzzle you can just do the punch cards automatically but
each punch each shape is relative to a certain number and we're trying
to tick those clocks
right there on the wall over to
a certain number. So you have to know which shapes
correspond to
which number. It's just a quick puzzle you can figure out
if you go into another room and look at the wall.
Exactly, and we did our first
inventory management of the game. Hopefully
that's 50% on the inventory management
provided my ammo is correct.
And we are going to enter down here
into the main atrium.
We're gonna come through here a couple
times while in the sewer.
Norman... Luckily none of these
puppets can catch us if we just take a
very nice route up the stairs.
Another quick thing to note is that as you
notice, the stairs do slow us down significantly
to walk on them,
which is something that will come into play in a little bit.
Actually, that's a good question for John.
Why the slowdown on the stairs?
Yeah! you know that
question. You know
there's a bit of like non-tangible
game feel
that you kind of have to
get across in some way.
And walking up and down stairs does take a little bit more time IRL, but it would add
a little interest to the vertical variety. right. Realism.
All right,
you know
oh sorry
go ahead
no no
you were
much more
important than
me.
Oh
not
Joel
No I
am surprised stair bouncing as was such a No, I'm surprised.
Stair bouncing was such a thing back in the demo speedrunning days
and yet I believe it ended up getting where you would go down
at an angle down the stairs and you kind of bounce getting where you would like go down uh
like at an angle down the stairs and you kind of bounce down them instead
of going down directly but i believe it
was timed and found out to be no
faster is that correct
oh Is that correct? Oh.
That would have to be a slightly question, because I don't know.
Interesting.
You might have to repeat the question.
I was very focused on walking down that hallway quick.
You know what? Let's discuss afterward, there might be a bit of peck
Of course! So we are just walking around grabbing these fuses
There is a bit of downtown kung fu if you want to take it away with probably about three donations
Absolutely! You're getting a lot of love right now
So we'll do $50 so mistakes are high
I get the steak spelling, that's good.
Hey slime! It's ya boy. While it is true that the last job of
the day is always the worst we can also say the first run of the day
is always the best.
Try not to get too many ones!
Thank you, I know him very personally.
Alright, I think this one is a potential puppet phrase
maybe? This is $5 from Brainiac.
Who says...
Thank you, Brainiac.
One more?
One more!
All right. $10 from Adam the Feverish who says
My Friendly Neighborhood was a very charming game
and I'm happy to see how it will get broken
completely
Perfect. Thank you so much.
All right, so Ray can just spawn in that pipe we just walked
past on the left.
After we spawned him in that one area where we did the Norman
multiplying skip.
He could just spawn in any of these pipes,
completely RNG if I believe.
And one quick second...
So he has to plug in four sets of fuses
in two different ways, so the first one
is Club Diamond Heart Spade
that unlocks one door off to the right
and then the second one is Spade Star Diamond Heart
that one unlocks a door to the left. We went
through the left door first because we're gonna go get
a very special weapon
I would also like to note he has
those notes, because I don't know the combination,
I know the pattern.
I have a count in my head if I mess it up
he had the notes.
Fun little tidbit here This is technically a sequence break
but this was a sequence break
that I really, really wanted to be possible.
We actually rerouted
a significant portion of the game specifically
so you'd be able to go get that extra fuse early
so you'd be able to get into this area early so that you would both be able to get this particular
weapon that is coming up in a second early,
but also so it would be possible to do
a fully pacifist run of the game.
Because it wouldn't be possible otherwise
because of the curtain boss.
All right, so what you saw us pick up here
is the mini gun! And guess what we're not going to use it it is
not good but it's required for cdo percent i believe it deals one or two damage per shot.
It's less
than that!
Okay!
So we prefer the shotgun
because that is a lot of damage at once.
But I do know we are going to be able to use it in this next room
to create a very funny sound.
Since Ray didn't spawn in the main atrium room that we went through,
he will spawn in this next room.
It is guaranteed as far as my attempts have seen.
So I'm just going to be quiet so we can hopefully hear this if he spawns.
There we go! I'm just going to be quiet so we can hopefully hear the CP spawns.
There we go.
My favorite sound in the game by far.
And I will also note, there's an item you get
later in the game,
the soda that increases your fire rate by a lot.
And three sodas and a minigun makes a wonderful noise!
Alright, and that is pretty much it for the sewers with us.
We will be coming back down here maybe once later
I'm gonna make sure it wasn't twice
And we are now entering by far the longest elevator in the game.
Yep!
We have time for at least a donation.
Alright, let's go.
We have $10.
This is from The Demented Salad.
He says,
Always happy to donate to a great cause and very happy
to see this wonderful gem of the
game being ran on the big screen hoping and praying for good card j card game rng
and remember we're all friendly here friendly friendly friendly we're all friendly here. Friendly, friendly, friendly! We're all friendly here!
All right, welcome to the worst hand puppets.
The hand puppets are the worst.
They're so awful.
I fully agree with that, yes.
We minigun them there for a reason
it's just to get them out of the way
Alright and this is going
to be our second inventory management
of the game hopefully
as long as I do everything correct and we pick up the first mask there this
whole office building is based around the masks uh for at least the first bit the public can't spawn
right there and he didn't that is the only risk to us.
And we are going to be doing here
the first kind of stair skip!
There we go!
Walking up that railing
is just faster than walking up those stairs.
Again, found by the wonderful Japanese runner Kurokuro, amazing person I was talking with him before the run
I've been bouncing back and forth
with him within MG.
We're really close,
and amazing guy.
Also Demented Salad.
I want to talk about him quickly.
He's a major person in the game. Has run CEO on Hotfix, I believe before.
Good to hear from you, Sal.
Amazing to hear from him. Alright, so we...since we did just use three ammo, we gotta pick up three ammo right there. Again that was a routing change. We used to have to juke all the puppets in that theater room.
But discovering that we can grab the ammo there,
waste a couple seconds doing it... completely fine.
I will have to explain this later later we are grabbing a safety health for a very specific
reason okay you know you know no no i want to put in my pro board game propaganda right here.
I swear during testing,
90% accuracy of success.
Apparently,
I'm the only one.
I think that I might be able to just swoop in and take the record.
We call that... we call that the dev skew.
Grab this mask through the wall here,
grab the chest piece
and grab another safety health because John is lying.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, you also say that he cheats
and I can guarantee you he only cheats once.
Okay, so we need to explain what's going on here.
So in the next room after this
we're gonna play a board game that is
100% RNG no matter what John says
and you basically get
you have to play through this little mini-game of
playing cards
to move a piece around the board,
but you can instantly lose the game
if you get the wrong cards.
And you have to complete this as the only way
to get that key that Normanan's holding under his hand
this isn't there's no way you can lose this okay no he can just
keep playing threes so okay to explain it
the normans base is the brown ones you get to pick up a card. The purple ones you have to play
only...you can only play once. The yellow spaces you have to
play the top card of the deck and the green spaces you insta-lose
Um just a quick story um i came back
to playing this game he is catching up i came back to playing
this game we're gonna have to rely on rng here
we might lose the game. It is completely possible. I will say this looks very RNG-y right now.
OOOH! Let's go!
My eighth and first try!
Oh my god.
And we drink the safety health without having to use it.
All right.
I think last run that I watched,
I think was six failures or something for failures
before it got
a successful run through.
My BPM is
in triple digits right now.
That was insane.
In no way did I expect that to happen.
So we just picked up the next mask and also a grenade.
The grenades are going to be very helpful for us in a couple minutes.
We will have a boss coming up, for us in a couple minutes.
We will have a boss coming up,
and we've got pretty good explanation for them
or a pretty good way to deal with them here.
So the next here is the Masked Puzzle
that we've been collecting the entire time.
They all have different faces because they all have different faces because
they all have different emotions george is angry that's the only important one and now we're gonna
pick up the dice good test of my aim and it's okay today.
You missed one, spend some time at Kovac.
This is one of those fake ledges again that we just do to avoid these stairs
And the first time I went through this room here,
you saw me deal with the hand puppet by wrenching it.
Oh my gosh is that tough!
And I just shot those up...
That is super hard to do consistently. Yeah yeah that was a little close on timing there
yeah all right uh dangerous if you want to explain this one yeah so i never remember these numbers
this is the thing that kind of kept me from really grinding this run, so
the dice puzzle you have to do is 4-1-6
2-5-4 3-1-2 in that order
and you have to switch them around because
the opposite side of the dice is the one that
is corresponding to the solution of the puzzle. That's Goblet by the way
yeah our first introduction to goblet, the puppet we are going to help in the theater hopefully this
didn't it only worked out for me once in practice today.
A little railing jump we can do here as well hopefully.
Oh! We got it!
Nice!
Alright, yeah just pop up over that railing and just skip having to walk around.
Saves about two seconds. very nice to do that, it's very fun.
Also coming around the front on those Puppets I just hit
hitting them from the front is very hard to do because you have maybe about 0.12 seconds
to hit them before they are invulnerable to be stunned from the front, and they will just
grab you and it's not a good day for anybody
except for them.
I'm sorry, we don't want that.
If anybody's interested in how this works
if you hit a puppet before
they've gone through a small timer after they seen you it'll
automatically stun same as if uh you
hit them from the back i believe even
if they are aware of you i believe
that will send them not that would
really ever happen.
Except for Genebug and Pirate Cove.
Enter it! Is that true? That is true, that one will stun
sometimes but not always. Alright in case you're wondering she's still hanging
out there don't worry she's still singing though so it's okay she's saying about bubbles
she's having a good time i I told you she likes it.
Yeah, she's vibing.
Yeah.
She's flying.
She has no choice.
She's tied up.
John,
I do have a question for you
that I think
it's
a burning question we've all been wondering.
And I waited until so far in the run to ask it.
Why do we have a flip weapon button?
What is this for?
This does nothing.
JOHN MCCUTCHAN- OK, wait, wait, that's first of all that is completely
untrue it does do something um but second of
all would you rather that you didn't
okay no it is the dedicated ADHD button this is correct.
That's what I'm saying! You gotta have something when you're not doing anything right?
Unfortunately... No but it is candidly untrue that
does not do anything because if're on the last shot of the
stenographer and you flip and fire halfway through the flip, it'll do four times damage.
Nobody knew this!
Yes, this is totally a thing. 100%.
Oh there's a reroute that's about to happen.
Oh yeah there is!
Also welcome to the first boss of the game
This is Curtain Call
And fight's over Alright that was Curtain Call. And fight's over.
Alright, that was Curtain Call.
Two nades, that's all it takes.
You do have to wait a little bit because while she's screaming at the very start I believe
she's invulnerable and can just take out a couple of grenade hits with that
and not die. Do you know how much time we spent making
that boss? Do you know how quickly he just defeated the boss?
Yeah! I know. Do you know how
much that hurts me?
Alright, we are going to
help Goblet here. We are
going to place a film in there
and we can see she walks up there all sad i got turned around oh yeah
we had a lore question about this john we do oh why is it let's sad nobody knows
a goblet is sad because there's sad things
happening on the screen or do you mean
just in general like why is goblet
existential?
Both I guess the question
is like why is showing her the film and then comforting her in the theater
Helping her for the good ending
okay, this is a very this is a very complicated discussion that would probably be outside of the bounds.
Okay.
But let's just say Goblet feels poorly and then is shown that there might be more to life than just the pain
that she sees.
Simple as that.
All right, and in case you're wondering
we went in there patted her on the back
and said, you're good
then we just kind of leave the tonal shift just now from john to slighten i have to be that person i'm very sorry there's existential dread
and horror and terrible things in the world so we went
and patted her on the back it said it's all good no worries
existentialism done quick all right welcome to the next area of
the run this is the garden.
We're going to have some fun here.
The cardboard cutouts we just walked out, they do
play a part in a puzzle later on.
Luckily, we know the combination of the puzzles
so we don't have to deal with it but i think it is a very well designed puzzle props to john
well thank you uh so we are gonna walk i took a wide line there because if you
walk too close to those stairs even though you don't walk on them
they will detect
you on them and you get slowed down what was that oh there was a dog i think was it
i mean you know it could be anything it looked like a run killer. Oh, you know what?
You might be right.
Alright we're entering the greenhouse. We are going to grab
a key in here that is going to help us pretty much get
into the last rooms of the game we is going to help us pretty much get into the last runes of the game
we're going to need.
And go, we're gonna go back down
into the sewers after this
and help Ray.
But a little bit of this is mostly just fetch stuff for a little bit.
Kung Fu, you have probably time for two donations?
Okay great! First of all it's just a quick update
We are 20% of the way in now to that Sol The world's most difficult puzzle for Lufia 2
So I just want to like keep a
Heads up for you all and I learned a little bit more about it
It's a sliding block puzzle
And the optimal solution
For this puzzle is 116 moves long
116 moves i'm just saying so so we're 20 now
for over 1400 we need seven thousand um dollars for that so i want to see 160 moves
um we have like half the run of the next one to get that in anyway quick donation
for you fifty dollars50 from Marisha.
I'm just going to try a different voice.
I'm just going to keep trying things, okay?
This one goes, D is for donation!
That was amazing.
That was really good.
You have time for probably one more.
Okay, awesome.
$20 from HippieNator who says,
we're all friendly here! Friendly,
friendly, friendly! Good luck on the run,
Slayton, and I hope we get to see
a first try board game, which we did
which is pretty well.
HippieNator is another runner of this game
the main any% runner and actually
the reason why we run uncapped frame rate in
this game. I've been waiting to explain
this because it's really odd also Also, I'm going to just
waste ammo here for no reason.
So...
When we run normally
it is load removed. We have the timer in
top right corner which is is load removed as well.
So it doesn't affect that at all. What it does effect
When you go through the door
what it does effect is the time it takes
to go from the finishing the door
sequence, to the black
screen. It increases...
It decreases that time
ever so slightly, and that just
piles up over the run,
and it's a free time save.
The door entrance animation is shorter but the time spent
in the loading screen is not.
Very odd thing, only found out very recently too
I did not mean to hit him that much
I have no explanation for that.
I'm going to do a little toe dive and see if I can figure out what it is.
It's mainly used for the very final door of the game,
it was noticed of the game.
It was noticed the biggest.
For your research.
Oh, wait!
No, I think I know where that is.
Okay.
Yeah, I can talk to you about that later.
Slayton did you just shoot a dog?
We don't know that it's a dog!
It looks like a dog.
You know a lot of things look like a dog.
It barks like a dog. It has six limbs just like dogs do.
That...
It looked like a dog, that's all I'm saying.
This run is not payday approved.
Alright,
this is the first time entering
the entrance of the hotel here.
Which really is where you're supposed to go immediately.
There isn't... The first cutscene of the game should be there.
I don't think it also explains what the goal of the game was and what we're doing.
We are hired as a repairman
to come in and stop this old studio
that has just somehow turned back
on and is broadcasting
over current channels. So we
have to go up and climb to the very
top of the building and turn
off the
transmitter?
Transmitter up there. Yes
Also by the way this entire area is
optional you don't actually have to do this for
any percent but since we're
doing what's effectively 100%,
we have to come here and do this.
Also, if you are interested in Any% that run
is absolutely crazy.
Nowhere near this run at all.
I recommend looking at it.
Any% is horrifying.
Well, you would say that. You're the developer.
I know! It makes me so sad.
We also have an interesting trick coming up here if I can get it.
That is a very,
precise...you walk up to that
ledge, when it prompts
you to hit E hold forwards and right
and turn to the
right just enough
get back on the platform but not too far it'll prompt you
to hit e again and then drop down onto the little
scaffolding area and just go right over saves a few seconds
and it looks cool. So we like it! You said that
like Norman. We liked it!
When you play enough of this game,
uh...you get the voices. You hold forward and right
then you hold back and you like it!
I don't know why all the voices just get ingrained in our brains this is true
all right again another bit of this is probably just a little bit of fetch uh if kung fu wants to hit us with probably two donations.
Sure thing, so we have $10.
This is from Askanyi who says I'm donating for the phrase
designated ADHD button.
I love when there's an in-game fidget. Honestly,
I agree with that. I really enjoyed doing that too. Yes! That was
really fun so if that makes you feel better John.
Okay we've also got $10 from Abukamu who says
I'm so happy to see this game on a mainline GDQ. Slayton
thanks for helping a community dream come true and John always a pleasure
to see your passion in making this game be gentle and slighten best of luck
Yeah, I'm looking for more puppet impressions just so you know Tommy's the homie.
I'm looking for more puppet impressions, just so you know.
All right, coming up is the playground puzzle that we were talking about earlier.
Hopefully I'm able to get it.
If dangerous, you have the combination for it if you want to explain a little bit of that.
I do not have the combination. Oh, you don't have the
combination? You can explain how we do the puzzle normally.
Yeah, honestly explaining the combination
wouldn't even be all that interesting. So basically, you'll see that he puts
all of these little pogs into
the playground layout like that
in order to open that door and
solution to the puzzle is actually all these
cardboard cutouts laid around the hedge maze and uh the first time i was
playing through this casually it took me an hour to figure that out you said it tripped you up a whole hour!
It took me a while because I kept putting some of the pogs in the wrong place.
Also, we're helping the probably puppies.
I'm sorry that I'm not as smart as you john
we are also now coming up to the apparently most hated puzzle amongst casual players, and sometimes speedrunners.
So what we were picking up was a bunch of different items, I believe it was trumpet polish...
I can't remember the rest of them.
There was Film
Solution.
Film Developer.
And then one more, and then we put in those cases
and then we need to turn everything on
Press those buttons for a very exact
Amount of time. If you are
If you hold it too long
Too short or too long
It will just break on you the animation for breaking takes about three
seconds you have to completely restart it not for the record it has gotten two patches less specific
the timing that is.
Alright and we are now entering what is
essentially going to be the last
area of the game. We're gonna clear that purple
goo that we barely knew was there because we've only been in
this room once and go up the elevator to the penthouse which i think is my favorite area
of the game just because how it designed you will see this in a second everything is cardboard and this is absolutely beautiful
osha would like a word, just so everybody knows I am
a very good chef and
welcome to my cooking stream!
This is the kitchen
I'm gonna teach you a few recipes here
So when you chop milk what do you get that's right a banana a banana yes obviously
i put the banana on the stove
do not do that i don't recommend it.
Put the banana in...
I'm a trained chef somewhere, don't worry probably.
So the carrots are just going big chilly.
The tomato in there in the microwave makes hot sauce
I think.
Put them all together in a fridge?
That's right it's a key.
What is it a key?
Yeah, don't try that in your kitchens at home.
Oh no! That's not our favourite
thing to deal with. Die
please thank you. Alright I didn't place the second one.
I just tried to hit her too early we took damage luckily we've been at full health this entire run somehow that was my first hit and this is the most creative computer you will ever see
in a game.
Okay, I
have to interject this here.
That is a computer... When I was a kid
we had
reasonably strict uh screen time limits
but i could not imagine not playing on the computer so i would make little paper computers
like that for myself and pretend I was playing video games.
I couldn't not put it in.
Oh, my God.
That's adorable.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Isn't it cute?
Yeah.
All right.
So what we're doing at the penthouse is grabbing the puzzle pieces to help
Arnold, the last puppet
that we have to help in the game.
The puzzle pieces are all around. We picked up two
so far. One was in the cabinet we just grabbed
and one of the cases or the uh chest in the room next to
the computer from john's childhood and fun fact uh arnold is the only
one that you help in the nmG run, like just regular gameplay. You can skip helping all of
the other puppets but you cannot skip Arnold. That's correct? Dangerous we
just went through the puzzle if you want to.
Yeah, we did.
We zoomed through it.
So there's a couple of little logs like journal entries that
you can find to get the answer for the puzzle but you have
to go up to the shapes puzzle,
the fox puzzle, the color puzzle, the fox puzzle,
the color puzzle,
the flag puzzle,
the fruit...
I like saying puzzle.
Painting!
The shape painting,
fox painting,
color painting,
flag painting
and then the fruit painting in that order
and you have to push those buttons in order to get the fruit painting in that order you have to push those buttons
in order to uh get the last painting on open and
get the last puzzle piece there nice yes i love this this is a cool thing
we do if we open the inventory it doesn't really do anything
we just like to know where the soda can is
for later so that we don't have to stumble around the inventory
looking for it because the soda can
pretty much acts as a
chocolate bar that we're going to use later
Welcome to the longest ladders uh in
an existence this is bloodborne we have ladders don't worry um fun fact about uncapped frame rate
thank you hippie nader for making us run on uncapped frame rate.
If you spam E too fast at the top of any
of these ladders, you will teleport to the bottom including this
one that takes like 30 seconds to climb up. Please do it.
I did in the practice room earlier with him watching. Please do it. I did in the practice room earlier, but it's him watching.
Please do it again.
I'm not intentionally going to try and do it again...
But I have so many donations to read for you!
This is a long ladder?
I might have to do it twice?
Go three.
Okay okay, I'm gonna go really quick then ten dollars from Mimetic who says
i can't find the exact transcript but i'm requesting a recitation of
Junebug's rant about eating gravel.
We have $5 from Backsideofwater who says,
It was Professor Plum in the billiard room with Wrench.
What do you mean this isn't a game of Clue?
We've also got $10 from Steven who says,
Winning this boardgame really feels like a 50-50
oh my gosh i have a story um but luckily we didn't get the teleport back down there so what we are in now is what we're going to call the unfriendly neighborhood.
I know it's weird, the game called friendly, minor-friendly neighborhood. I don't know why this exists.
John just doesn't like us. Nope, never did.
But we are about to enter the final boss of the game!
I don't know if this final boss has a name, but hopefully...
It's called The Amalgam.
Hopefully we can take it out just like that!
That's...
The thing with this final boss is if you kill
it, while it is in its leaping animation
It will stay alive until
it leaps. It can kill you. I have lost runs
to it. I lost a world record pace
run to it. Oh no.
I don't have the world record in NMG.
I would.
Oh, that's spicy.
And we are coming down to the last door of the game.
Time is coming up when I press yes.
Time.
And the music currently playing does confirm that we got CEO,
The music is different if we um didn't so this is how i personally verify
um this is an absolutely amazing game i 100 recommend picking it up
um playing through the first time it's recommend picking it up.
Playing this for the first time,
it's super, super charming.
It's a survival horror game but it's low on the horror. You're just going to
have a lot of fun. Yeah and it's on Steam Summer Sale.
Is it? I think so. It is on Steam Summer Sale. Is it? I think so.
It is on Steam Summer Sale! There we go!
So hey, I want to take a quick moment
and just wanna say
that it is an absolute pleasure
To see my game being run in GDQ
This is absolutely one of those developer dreams come true
And thank you very much for allowing me to come on
Big applause for john big dance for john absolutely he's been
in the speedrun community for this game since the demo came out he was the world record holder
of the demo for a short amount of time. For one day.
Like, like a day but you know what? I'm gonna hold that!
All right um we'll move on to shout outs because well the mo-
enjoy the song while we do shoutouts.
For me, just shoutouts to everybody who helped me get here.
My parents completely helped make this happen.
Everybody in the game who's helped me push further
specifically people like Big Nono who unfortunately couldn't
be here um amazing yakuza runner help me get super good at this game these two guys they're dancing
i love it it's dangerous so finds a way to dance somehow.
Okay man if we wanna bring that up...
And just everybody involved and John for being here!
This is absolutely amazing.
I've always wanted to do Developer Run
I think they are my favorite.
You guys have any shout outs
i would just say you know if you if you're looking to get into speed running and you're maybe nervous about getting into it,
just boot up a game to play through it.
There's nothing wrong with
just getting going in your first run
Just play through as quick as possible
Don't worry about
getting every glitch possible don't worry
about the bottom of the leaderboard because no matter how
slow your run is you're still going to be faster than the elevators in this
hotel
this is true uh if you're interested in running the game, we do have a Discord.
It's on this speedrun.com page there so you can check it out.
If you want to find me I'm at slighten101
on literally every
social media in existence
Can we find you guys anywhere?
twitch.tv slash dangerous
twitch.tv slash nthrd underscore squared
and You can find out on twitter and if you can spell it you get to
follow me um thank you everybody and i hope you had a good time in our neighborhood.
Hello everyone and good evening!
I hope you're enjoying your SQDQ so far
I know I am.
I am Kung Fu Fruit Cup, and I am joined this evening
by three of our horror game speedrunners.
We got to see their runs this week already
So I wanted to bring them together
to talk a little bit about
horror speedrunning in general and kind of like
what makes scary games
fun to run. Like it's such
a fun niche of
speed running in my opinion And uh so I just wanted to kind of explain
a little bit more about that and like hear your perspective.
So, I'm joined by Death Tropes
who has done Silent Hill
and Slayton who just did My Friendly Neighborhood.
And then we've got StarCat87,
who has done Outlast 2.
How are you guys doing?
Good.
Feeling good.
Feeling pretty good.
That was my brain going, let's memorize all three, say all the games and just double check with myself.
Anyway I'm glad everybody is doing good.
You did perfect also.
Thank you.
Yes!
Let's go.
So thank you so much for coming together
and speaking with me.
Now I've been curious about like
with horror speed running
I think it's a really unique part
of the speedrunning community.
It's got such a good following,
like big devoted following
and as somebody who I feel
like I'm the resident expert
of scary games in my team
which is so funny because
I'm like I am such a plus like i'm so bad at
playing them but i love watching speed
runs i think it's really fun and
fascinating
um
and like seeing the glitches broken down
for example so i kind of wanted to know
like what you all think makes forward I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ALL THINK MAKES FORWARD SPEED
RUNNING UNIQUE.
WHY THAT VIBE IS THERE?
DESROP, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
I WOULD SAY IT'S UNIQUE
BECAUSE AGAIN, again like I said,
there is such a niche-like little corner.
Because obviously speedrunning is huge,
with the GDQ and all this stuff you guys do all the time.
But for speedrunning,
it's just a small part of this big old thing, and it's unique because you have all these crazy glitches with it.
You have these creepy enemy types.
You see just all those really cool creepy environments,
And obviously the goals
get through as fast as possible so you
see how they just blow through these horror games
I had somebody
come into my stream recently
that I've known for years saying
I'm 40 years old, but I can't watch this game without getting scared How do you go through without being scared all the time looks like I just flipping playing this as I was 13 years old
I think there's also something interesting,
it becomes less scary
when it's speedrun,
the scary vibes are often just gone
because you're going through walls
you're flinging yourself around you're like flinging yourself around.
Like you just skip a lot of the sections
that would have those tense moments
like how to navigate them so well as speed runners
that it just changes the entire environment.
That's my personal perspective, especially as a viewer.
Slayton or Starcat do you have anything to add?
Yeah definitely!
Horror speedrunning is really... when you look at a horror game initially
A lot of people just say it's a scary game
But they don't see the large amount of how fun the gameplay is behind it
They all have a certain different niche,
A lot of them has really good movement. Inventory management
is always a big part of survival horror with its own little
niche. Super fun! That's what I deal
with a lot in my run, is the inventory
management of it all and it's
just something you enjoy
more and more as you go
Yeah that makes sense to me. What about you Sharkat?
Yeah one thing too is I find a lot of times people will run games that they just like to play
in general so it's...
And kind of like you said, it's not necessarily always just the scares and the horror. It might be
well, you know, like a game
like Outlast, it's a lot of platforming so
I like a lot of platforming games too so
it's a mix of both of those interests
I think. Yeah.
I think that's a good point and like you were saying with inventory management
putting it all together kind of adds
to its own
blend of mechanics that you need
pay attention too because there is like, yeah if your doing
a shooter which also My Friendly Neighborhood
fits into the category or other games
I don't know. Other platformers
but once you add
the horror element there is something that's like You're being chased or you have
More threat in some ways
And so finding ways to navigate that is really fascinating
So then I kind of wanted to move on and see
With
The future of horror speedrunning I know it's kind of evolved and changed since
its become a bigger more well-known faction of speed running.
What do you all think is gonna...
Do you have any trends in mind or things that are happening
in speedrunning right now, in the horror category?
Things that are standing out to you. What's going on and what is happening with it?
I honestly think it's becoming more and more popular.
More than anything else,
It's definitely getting more noticed
I see a lot of new runners
Especially in Silent Hill and Resident Evil
There are a lot of new runners coming
Especially with the Final 2 remake Coming out very soon lot of new runners coming in all the especially with final two remake
coming out very very soon a lot of people are becoming more introduced to
that community and that's i've noticed that's happening
a lot lately it's really cool that's fair anything else you want to add
I think the remakes are really bringing people in, like the RE4 remake that came out
was absolutely amazing and a lot of people drawn by that
Also the trend of mascot horror that has come out in the last few years it feels like
where there's the poppy playtime garden a band and then oh the six of those
that come out a year yeah and then my friend fits into that category as well it's a good idea to bring in more people.
There are six of those that come
out a year and then my friend
fits into the category as well
really lighter horror genre
feels like, brings in a lot more people than generally look into a game like that.
Yeah, it makes it a little bit more accessible for an audience
and so then translating that to speedrunning is fine.
I actually played My Friendly Neighborhood
It's one of the ones I have played
And I was like oh, I can do it
I can actually do this
So yeah, I can see that. I can actually do this."
So yeah, I can see that's kind of... It kind of like eases you in some ways.
Anything you'd like to note
and then keep notice?
Well, yeah,
in addition to the variety of horror games
And it could partially just be that I've gotten...
The more I do horror-skeetering,
I just notice it.
But it seems like there's been a lot
of really good horror games coming out
in the past year or so.
The remakes, Resident Evil Evil we have Silent Hill coming up
Dead Space
but lots of other ones
Still Wakes the Deep just came out
another horror game
shaping it to be a cool run as well I think its's just partially the sheer volume of newer horror games that we're getting now.
And as it becomes more popular, people are into that.
I wonder if the remakes as well are stimulating people who have already been speedrunning to be like, oh let's try this out.
And then not only that but it just kind of all...
It just pulls people in from all directions.
Like people are already speed running they're like
I need to try the remake to see what that's like. Or
other people are like, I can finally play this.
I didn't have a good version to play it before.
And so then that can pull you more into
speedrunning as a result.
So I think those are really big points. now then with your own runs because you know
You all just did some runs awesome
I kind of want to know what you think in your own runs and we've touched on this a little bit already
But just like something that was within your specific run
that you think stands out or shows the uniqueness
of horror speed running.
Let's start with Sharkout this time.
I'm gonna go the other way.
Well one funny thing is I think Let's play with shortcuts. I'm just gonna go the other way.
Well, one funny thing is that I think what a lot of people think of in Outlast games they think about getting chased and kind of stealthy where you have to hide.
It's horrible.
And it's funny because we don't hide at all.
Because once you know how to navigate the level
You don't actually need to sort of sneak around the enemies.
You know exactly how to get around them
and I think it's very funny kind of
invalidating the enemy attempts
to try to kill you in the first place
um, but it becomes a lot more-based, out-of-bounds trick based run rather than
the intended try to get around these enemies at point B gameplay.
It kind of changes the way the game is played.
It's transformative, legitimately, seriously.
Yeah that's cool, that's a great point. Okay what about you Sly?
With My Friendly Neighborhood it's
the mascot horror element that element of it.
The character design is absolutely amazing.
So goofy.
Anybody who has played it knows
the voice lines of all of the puppets are unhinged,
absolutely hilarious.
I just wish I was able to stay
in the rooms with them longer to hear
an extended version of everything.
But
everything about the game is kind of a different part of horror that
is very light, but it welcomes people in, really.
Yeah, yeah I think that's totally fair.
Okay what about you Deathfrizz?
Alright well first off...
Silent Hill is iconic. These are all iconic games in their own way.
Absolutely! Well as you guys know Silent Hill is a little bit older than Outlast 2 and 9 from the Neighborhood came out in 1999
The movement is terrible! It is, it's terrible but But I love Harry Mason he's great
but more than anything about that game
there's a lot of RNG
but mostly it's the movement in Silent Hill
and you guys have all seen it at least one time
Harry controls like a boat going
down a mountain, it's not
comfy, like you've played old Resident Evil games
they turn on a dime, they like
the movement is very good to
take control of and I love take controls.
But Harry Mason does not move well!
And so that's what makes him kind of unique
in the game as well
like the creature design
and just the entire vibes
and music
Silent Hill speaks for itself.
It's iconic.
I would say with those controls
and navigating that to incorporate into a speedrun
is fascinating as well.
I think that's cool.
Well unfortunately we are just about out of time
really quick to jump stairs skills
there do jumpscare still scare you
That was harder to say than it got
Yeah, sometimes they can be
There's a really great clip of an Outlast 1 runner where he's doing out-of-bounds and jumps,
And the enemy usually is never there but he just happened to be there
He actually did get jump scared. It ended his run
Did it still hit you?
Yeah, I've had stuff like that happen to me too. Or are you like numbed out?
This is my quick question.
This is my rapid fire. What about you? Oh yeah.
There's one specific point where a puppet
drops down from the ceiling. That's got me way too many times
in general there's a clip out there of me curling up in a ball after playing poppy playtime
okay of course i've went through a door and a dog
inside the hill jumped right
at my face.
Oh no!
Like yeah, scared the heck out of me.
I love that.
Well sometimes people are like well they just don't get scared anymore but that's not always
true.
Anyway thank you so much to the three of you this has been a great conversation, I could talk about this for awhile
but unfortunately
we are out of time here
I'm gonna hand it up back
to the host which is
well somebody familiar you may have heard her before.
Anyway, thank you all again. Really appreciate it. Great job on your runs and back to me I guess?
Thanks Mie! Alright we're back. Thanks, me.
All right, we're back.
I didn't plan that at all.
All right, everybody. I hope you're enjoying your Summer Games on Quick so far powered by Twitch.
It has been great.
That was a great round, by the way.
I didn't get to say it and I didn't get to stay in that interview because you know
strangely felt like a different time and place that was so strange um anyway you all are
wonderful next up we have lufia 2 rise of the sinistrals coming up we are at 30 percent of that solve the world's
most difficult puzzle incentive so keep getting your donations into that and we will be right back back so All right, you all.
It's late at night.
We're hanging out.
It's been a good evening so far
Before we head on in to the world of Lucia, too. I have a few more things. I did want to
Mention from the last run some lovely donations so i'm just gonna toss these in real quick um i thought these were great so there was um 25
from eric who's saying to, so hopefully John is still listening.
My friendly neighborhood has become one of my all time favorite games
It's a love letter to Jim Henson's works down with so much love
put into it.
This game actually inspired me to work on a script
for a potential TV miniseries
to pitch at Catalyst in Duluth.
Jim Henson was a major influence to me,
and this game really brings out
so much love in sharing that work thank you
so much for creating this game john best of luck with the stream slighten
and then just kind of arnold aka messed up Elmo. Let's see
Play duet
I tried my best
Alright we have i tried my best
all right we are now over already over 34 percent of the way through for these solve the world's most difficult puzzle that means we're 2 $2,430 that means we are $2,430
in to the $7000
that we need for it. Also keep in mind
we still have that bonus ace run
available so that is currently at
11%. If you'd like to see an ace run of Lufia 2 after the main run,
You can get your donations in.
And again, the world's most difficult puzzle
Is a fiendishly difficult optional puzzle
that is normally skipped under speedrun conditions.
However, what did we say? It was 116 moves.
The optimal solution is 116 moves long which is wild!
So for this sliding black puzzle definitely get your donations is 116 moves long, which is wild.
So for this sliding block puzzle,
definitely get your donations in for that.
That sounds fascinating.
I want to see it.
It's a couple hours into the run.
So yeah, let's hit that with plenty of time to spare so we can get excited so so. and we are back with some more amazing speed runs happening this evening excited for lufia too again we've talked about those incentives you know what's coming up i know you're getting those donations, we've talked about those incentives. You know what's coming up. I know you're getting
those donations in. We've also got some
more amazing runs happening
this evening and then the morning.
I don't know what you would call it at this point.
Umbrella. We have two sly games in a row void stranger kirby air ride i cannot wait for them all if you were up all night or you know have to wake up early. Enjoy all of these speedruns!
I know I'm excited
for everything coming up but that just means
that now it's time
It is time for Lufia to rise of the Sinistrals, Puexil you got this have fun.
Take it away.
Alright hello SGDQ! I am Puexl joined by my friends
Jair and DeWolf on the couch back there. And as of about an hour
and a half ago it's my birthday!
I am really looking forward to kicking it off by getting to share
a run of one the best and most underrated turn-based RPGs on the Super Nintendo.
Lufia II Rise of the Sinistrals.
So it's a long cozy run so let's get right into it
so let us have Maxim's name
Alrighty, let me go over here for Maxim's name
It is... Lufia! Alrighty, let me go over here for Maxon's name.
It is...Lufia!
Number two was Mario and number three was Greg!
So we had some good interesting names here.
Oh I like number six it was mom?
That means we'll have Lucia in the game then.
We had gay days when we did this at RPG Live Break a little bit ago
It's been canon, I guess.
Alright, well
I guess let's get the run started
so 3
2
1
Go!
Alright, this is lufia 2 rise of the sinisterals the second game in never saw it's luffea rpg series this game is actually a prequel to the first Luffy game,
in the Fortress of Doom.
It takes place about 100 years before
the events of the first game but this works very well
as a standalone experience too.
You're not expected to know anything uh really from the
first game so right off the bat we get introduced to our hero maxim also known as lufia i'll just
call him max and for simplicity. And he's basically a monster hunter, and then his childhood friend Tia who runs a weapon shop
After buying some combat items called boomerangs,
we are heading on our way.
So one of the things about this game that really makes it kind
of stand out in unique ways among the 16-bit RPG libraries
is that it has a lot of inspirations
from the Legend of Zelda series
as far as just kind of
a really heavy focus
on exploration and puzzle solving.
So before we really get going with the um
with the story in the game proper we do have a few minutes of tutorials
that we need to do to introduce us to a lot of the
puzzle mechanics and just other general game mechanics too.
So we just had our first battle with a jelly right there,
And now we're finding out about the tool ring basically where
We have um...
Where we have a set of- series series of tools we can use to both solve puzzles and stun enemies
i was actually trying to avoid this fight right here but since i got into it i just went ahead
and took it for the little bit of extra experience.
So the first tool we start with is the arrow which in addition to being able
to stun enemies lets us also flip switches and do
kind of interact with other puzzle elements like that.
Flip that switch, and then in this room we get introduced
to a very important mechanic which is the reset spell
Reset...I mean it's called a spell
but its kind of really more of another tool
and its very
helpful tool because
prevents you from just getting stuck in puzzle
areas cause when you use the reset spell,
it'll just respawn you at the entrance
to the room, reset any
puzzle elements in the room and then also
respawn any monsters.
We have some platforms that we can jump off of via those arrows here
and then this room introduces us to what I like to call
combat rooms which is where you have to defeat all of the enemies
in the room.
And then it's a good opportunity too
to start talking about just how fighting
and enemies works in this game too
that in dungeons
in this game there aren't random encounters
like a lot of other turn-based RPGs.
Enemies are all represented by sprites
on the overworld, kind of like
games like Chrono Trigger or Super Mario RPG but in this game the enemies
actually only move when you do. It's something pretty unique about this game and then
the enemies have pretty diverse ai like some of them
some of them are aggressive and will try to hunt you down others
others run away from you and and then some others just kind of move
in set patterns tied to your movement as well.
One other unique thing about the enemies in this game is that
the game actually remembers the state that the battle was in,
so if you are halfway through a battle and run away
those enemies will stay dead if you encounter that same
formation again. That's sometimes used but we won't see that too much in the speedrun
Yeah, then um could also maybe quick talk about the rule set for the category
I'm going to be running tonight too, which is any percent no major glitches,
no manipulation.
No major glitches just means that there's two very specific glitches
that are banned,
that can both be used to skip
pretty significant portions of the game.
And both of those are actually donation incentives
to show off after the run,
or at least hopefully.
So those are both banned and we'll talk
about them later when we do the incentives
if they get met,
And then no manipulation basically means that
I'm not able to script
battle outcomes because random number generator controls how
fights play out in this game is actually fairly easy to manipulate if you kind of
know what starting point the random number generator seed is end
so i basically before starting to run i just kind of scrambled my starting
scene which is based on just it's in the end
based on other save files that you have on your cartridge
and um yeah so then um
so then with that now we now we find out
that our feet are very, very firmly planted
In the world of an old school video game
We've got a problem
And that problem is that there's a door that's locked
There's a tunnel that leads to
The nearby town of Sundleton, and then
A monster stole the key to that door and locked it.
And since lockpicks, battering rams
Other means of opening doors without the key don't exist in this world.
We have to go hunt downoth if it gets in my way.
And these mushrooms move relative to how I am am so those i can just kind of bait
to get out of my way this is the first of many times in the run that i'm going
to be casting the reset spell to cut out some backtracking just
just skip skip having
to walk back across that room.
One of the big things to learn about Luthia too is how each of the enemies moves
and we'll talk about those when they are particularly notable.
But just kind of visually pay attention to what you're seeing on this screen as Fluxo is moving around.
You will see enemies that will be homing in, you'll see enemies that go in circles,
Enemies that kind of
spin around and chase after you. Each one has its own unique AI, and based on the sprite
that you see, you'll be able to predict how it is as the game goes on.
All right, so wrapping up the dungeon and about
to fight our first boss.
This is where those
boomerangs I picked up
at the start really
come in handy
just because boomerangs just do a lot
better damage than i can do with my regular attacks uh generally about like 47 to 52 or
so at this point and lizard man has 80 hit points so it's just a guaranteed um
a guaranteed two round fight and we've now retrieved the key and we're about to
we're about to get introduced to a pretty major NPC
in the game who's a mysterious fortune teller
named Iris that
tells us that
we have a destiny to go on a journey
to fight evil, basically. There's a ball of red light that was recently seen
flying across the sky, that's kind of an ill omen of bad things to come and I guess while
it's going on, Foo why don't you kick it off with a couple of donations?
Absolutely.
Okay, based on some of these donations
I'm seeing...
Is there a happy birthday in order?
Oh my goodness. Okay, well first of all happy birthday there's plenty
of donations like that coming in for you second of all oh my goodness we have just flown up to 77
of the way for this solve the world'sworld's-most-difficult puzzle.
Last time I checked, it was 34 episodes. Things are happening.
And we have a $500
anonymous donation which is amazing coming in from an anonymous i think
i just said that who says i've been watching gdq for over a decade now
poexil along with ascension rosia, was one of the first runners I
ever watched. I would be remiss
if I didn't show support for their run
in one my favorite childhood RPGs.
Sadly, I can't stay up to watch them run but
I can't wait to see the pod later thank you all right so then oh by the way
too we're a couple minutes away from needing to cut off foomy's name too let's say let's
say we'll cut that off when tia joins the party which is maybe like five minutes or so away
to get those donations in if you want to name Fumi the capsule monster. So there I'm just using knowledge of where the enemies spawn in each room.
Because when i'm using the arrow,
I can actually stun them from offscreen.
And I believe it's eight steps that I get
until they break out of it.
So just stunning enemies
and knowing how many steps I have to get around them
plays really heavily into avoiding unwanted fights which is almost all of
them really outside of bosses in a couple other specific situations like um i had to beat those three enemies and then
remember what order i fought them in and then shoot arrows at those other enemy sprites there
in order to open the door this is actually actually an optional detour, but this gives
me a weapon upgrade for Baxim called
the Insect Crush, which
bit of better attack power,
but it also does double damage against insects
which a lot of the enemies in this cave are.
You'll notice that there's a significant damage bonus
for having the correct element
for the monster type. Like when he was
throwing boomerangs at flying enemies it was causing
the damage to the boomerangs to be doubled.
The insect crush will be useful against insects and there's many other elements that we'll
pick up throughout the game.
Typically for bosses its extremely vital to have whatever specific element you need for that boss
to do optimal damage.
So there, even though I walked
right past the frog,
it was moving kind of crisscrossed me
so I was able to just get past without
without a fight that way okay always a little nervous when i see double spiders
because um spiders can poison you poison Poison is really,
really minor in this game but from the very
beginning it's actually going to be somewhat noticeable
for the poison tick plus every time
poison ticks down it tells you,
You got poisoned! Yeah It poison's a lot more...
It's more about the time for the messages
but like Jair said, this early
in the game, the damage I take
could matter a little bit. But I did get an
antidote drop from
the spider too so if I were to get poisoned I could bit but i did get an antidote drop from uh
from the spider too so if i were to get poisoned they could cure it
and then um while i'm doing the fights here which is
i both need to get
the experience and money
from these fights
in order to prepare
for the next boss.
But then I'm also
going for this chest
in the back
that gives me a nice item
called the Speedy Ring, which
boosts Maxim's agility stat a bit
and helps guarantee that he's able to outspeed
the big catfish, the next boss.
And
the way the money works out too, I actually can't afford enough boomerangs for every single fight where having boomerangs would be effective.
So I look for one fight with a single eagle,
and then just fight with my sword there.
And I got one so now I can use boomerangs
in the rest of the fights that they save time.
Miracle is this game's
equivalent of an elixir,
it's full HP and MP
healing and also revives the dead but in
very early stages of the run I'm actually only
picking those up to sell just because they sell for a thousand gold and
money is extremely tight at this point each of these posts we might see a little plaque on
the wall that is indicating what the kind of hints about
the puzzle are. Sometimes it's just a little bit vague about how you're supposed to solve
it, but this early on it's giving you the hey here's the solution draw out this picture
with these blocks. Yeah and then we just saw another recurring element in the game too that's
another kind of way that it wears its zelda inspiration on its sleeve and that's dungeon
keys because each pretty much each dungeon in the game has a um
a key that you need to find to in order to complete the dungeon kind of like big
keys and there's all the franchise so i had
very important safety save there just because Big Catfish, the next boss is actually...
It's the easiest boss to die to in the run.
Because I have to fight it solo and I'm a little underleveled and under equipped for what i'm expected to be
yeah catfish been causing earthquakes an old man in town can't sleep so we have to fix it.
Mm-hmm. Yep, easy.
We're really good to jam out to this game's really, really good boss theme too. I love it so much!
Alright, so then the catfish has 200 hit points
and the boomerangs generally do
47 to...
It's either 52 or 53
for the cap.
So if I get really good rolls it's four boomerangs, but sometimes
I need to do a
regular attack to finish it off
and my damage rolls haven't been particularly good yet but um
my luck with what the catfish has been doing has because it's doing its weakest attack on me
duty to be sold in playing luthia 2, the bosses are going to do what does it.
The bosses are just amazing.
Each of these bosses throughout here could be like final bosses in a lot of other JRPGs.
You get the awesome soundtrack and the battles are really,
really complex for figuring out how to
deal with each of these situations.
Alright, and we're past the catfish!
It was
really kind to me because
we didn't see its nastier attacks which are causing earthquakes
which do a bit more damage than the punching was doing but the absolute
worst thing it can do is Flash, which is a
lightning spell that does about 40 damage.
I only had 57 hit points
going in. So I just kind of
accept the risk of death
that I might have to load my uh save if i get um struck by lightning but
all right so so after yeah because it's really like
the plot here was that there's earthquakes
that are affecting the town and we went to investigate
and found a catfish of all things was causing them.
And then once you've dealt with the catfish
were intended to go back to Sundleton where find out that our friend Tia followed us here and went into the cave,
but you don't actually have to do that to progress the story.
So as soon as we've defeated the catfish
we can just head into this part of the cave
and deal with these two forced fights
then have Tia join up.
He's going to be our first mage type character.
And again when Tia joins that'll be our cutoff for naming our capsule monster companion.
You have time for a quick donation?
Yeah, go ahead.
Great because I figured out why we jumped up so much is
because we got a $2,500 donation from Anonymous!
Oh my goodness! was a myth that's incredible they say love sgdq
love lufia too keep up the good work thank you yeah. Yeah, that was super generous.
Thank you so much.
So, Onion, something you've been noticing me do too is whenever I'm on
the overworld, I'm periodically opening the menu and we'll talk a little more about that
now because we need to name our capsule monster,
but that's to avoid random encounters
cause on the overworld it is actually
random where I get into fights
and opening the menu is a way to
avoid that.
Alright, here's the big quest
to get Fumi and now
it's done. Yep, we've now proved
our worth to Fumi so one of numerous ways that this game is really it was
really ahead of its time in my opinion is that it has a kind of a Pokemon style monster training
system called Capsule Monsters even though this game actually came out two years
before the first pokemon game pokemon red and blue so uh with that what are we going
to name our capsule monster it looks like the winner is J. Hale, capital J, capital H.
I cannot speak.
Capital J, capital H-A-L-E, lowercase a-l-e.
All right.
Perfect.
And then it's worth noting too that a normal speed run
is not a marathon run, I'll say.
Well now we've got the tutorial explaining how to
fill up an account and watch what you do. So i hope you can read fast if you want to uh get the um
understand that but a normal speed run that's not a marathon run wouldn't actually be getting
a capsule monster at all that's just something I'm doing for a little bit
of safety on a couple of fights, and also
just for fun too since
the capsule monsters are 100%
AI controlled and
they can do some funny things sometimes.
Mostly Fumi here is going to soak up
some damage in case a single target ability
goes after Fumi, that's just a little bit
less damage than we would have otherwise on the party
If you leveled up your capsule monster it takes a
while to either get combat experience or defeat them items and then the ultimate
evolution for the capsul monsters generally requires a specific magic fruit and where
speed runs should be way out of the way to do any
of that. And you don't get that much back from
the capsule monster.
Alright, so we head on to the next
town of Alun's, pop into this town
quick to restock on boomerangs,
get some escapes which lets us warp out of dungeons
and then buy a better shield for Tia called the Bitty Shield.
Yeah, and then the story here is that there's a coronation going on.
And well we get introduced to this game's comic relief villains kind of like Ultros or Gilgamesh
from the Final Fantasy series named Bart and Bertie.
This music should tell you everything
you need to know about how serious these characters are
along with just how silly this cutscene is.
Not really knowing how to set off bombs properly
and these guards not doing anything about it either too, just leaving
the crown right there.
I mean if this happened in front of me i'd just be very confused too. I'm going to be a little bit more of an
emotional person.
So they're going
to steal the crown and head into
the castle basement while we're
getting that started, could probably squeeze in another donation or two absolutely also just so you know we are over six thousand dollars now out
of the seven thousand we need for solve the world's most difficult puzzle so that is 85
related to that we have a 1515 donation from Konarecon who says
I don't think the most difficult puzzle has been hyped enough
So I'll ask Pwexl a question about it
Hey Pwexl
How long does it take to solve that puzzle?
I'm hoping to solve it in like under three minutes
Casually I've seen people take literal hours to solve it
That's wild hours to solve it. Wow, that was wild.
Well I would like to see that and we are getting very close so keep those donations coming in.
Do you have time for another?
Um yeah maybe one more. One I'll do a quick one.
$10 from anonymous who says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Here's your present
It's the world's most difficult puzzle
Ah thank you
Alright so after this unavoidable fight with...
It's probably worth noting too that in the no manipulation category
the enemy formations
and fights is random.
It's some number of horses
and possibly eagles too
that fight. We got our second tool
which is the bomb.
Sadly, we can't actually damage enemies or anything with it but the main thing we'll be doing with the bomb
is blowing open doors.
And then right here, this is our first usage of a minor glitch that's allowed in No Major Glitches run
that I just called the Reset glitch. What you're expected to do
here is is put a pot
on that switch so that
the game won't retract the bridge.
But if you step on the switch and then cast the reset spell
then the game just kind of forgets to retract a bridge
and you're able to continue on.
Another thing about this place too
is that I am taking some fights
that aren't expressly required because I want to get Tia
a level up before the next boss
I have to fight. The next boss called Regal Goblin
is extremely dangerous and
if I just roll in with Tia at level
7, which is her starting level.
And she's in a fair bit of danger
of potentially getting killed from max health
without much I can do about it.
There's still a little bit of risk involved
with that but just getting the level up and some better stats
makes a notable difference with that.
Here we just need to line up at least three of the same color block to make them disappear although we need to, if you just do three then go run out without actually getting rid of all of them so we need to set up some like five
block chains and get a code which is just armor upgrade for Tia again the
next boss is pretty pretty dangerous so I have to do a fair bit of preparation in order to be able to beat it at low levels.
Most of the early bosses are generally more difficult here because we're not doing any encounters.
There's kind of an expectation that you're pretty much fighting all the enemies
if you're doing a casual playthrough,
and we also don't have a lot of utility items to work with
and those will be things that we can pick up throughout the game
Things that give us status element protection, stat boosts and also special abilities.
So that first room we went into was optional or just getting another miracle to sell for a thousand
gold but now we're actually and then we also did the reset glitch again in order to skip having
to loop around to press both switches on the left side of that
room. But then here we have to,
now we're just heading towards the end of the dungeon
and we have to fight three sets of kobolds
in this combat room to get the door open
And this is where I kind of hope
to get large numbers of gobolts,
and unfortunately I'm not seeing that
to try to top off
getting level 8 for Tia.
So once I'm past these three fights um then
i kind of try to finish off the bubble with um
with fights in this last room here
yeah if you have to get really desperate whenever you reset things it also brings the enemies back as part of that process so there's no real danger of running out of things to fight in here and you can also do it for grinding items if you need to get certain item drops It's kind of unlucky to have to do all three fights in here, but we had two single kobold
fights in the combat room, which is pretty bad luck
yeah with that we have
we have cornered Barton birdie and
They tried to set they try to let loose some wiley water as they call it on us but unfortunately wash themselves away instead.
So I guess while we're retrieving the crown and heading back upstairs.
Absolutely. heading back upstairs let's have another donation or two
absolutely i'm getting like jesse and james energy as well
that's a good comparison all right we have ten dollars
from reiko dactylis okay did i say right um who says good luck and happy
birthday poexil thank you wait a sec this ancient cave room doesn't look great oh Oh well, I'm sure it's fine.
We've also got a $5 donation from Backside of Water who says
This is your birthday song.
It isn't very long.
Alright, so then once we
retrieve the crown, we can talk to
the king and ask for a reward. and if we say nothing and be humble
we actually get the highest possible amount of money we can which is 3 000 again money
is extremely tight early although i do i am a fan of the dialogue you
get if you ask for the king for your reward too and
he's pretty taken aback.
Alright so this is another case where we don't really need to talk to anybody in towns in order to um
to progress the story so kind of what's going on here is that again there's another tunnel
leads to the next uh the next island that's locked and And in this case, a little
kid stole the key
to the tunnel and then proceeded to get it stolen
by a monster.
So now we're going into that monsters lair
to go get that key back.
Because again, lockpicks and
stuff like that don't exist in this world.
Yes, spare keys also
don't exist in this world.
... world
so this is um this is where we're going to be fighting the Regal Goblin boss that I've been talking about for a bit. So again, we're making a couple detours here and there
to pick up various kinds of items
that are for the most part to prepare
for that fight and then a few will also be useful
later on too.
I think here we're going into...
Oh yeah, and then those tiles too will refill your health
and magic. The red ones are HP and the blue ones are MP
There's also one more tile type which is saving the game, and I don't think we mentioned it for the ruleset for this but when you save the game on the tile,
It'll have the RNG reset back to a known state so whatever
puzzle touches a saved tile he has to save in order to make sure that you can't do any orange
so manipulation all the gear we need.
The menu system in this game is very responsive
and has very little lag, too.
And then there's what's called the optimize command
where you just equip whatever the best
gear for stats that you have
for that character is.
I was able to really fly through
that Equip menu there.
Just put on better armor
for both Maxim and Tia,
then also gave the Witch Ring that I just picked up to
Tia which is a ring that boosts
magic and magic defense. But the main value
I'm going to get out of it is making Tia's healing stronger,
because she comes with a tier 1 healing spell called Strong.
We're at 90%, by the way, for most of the puzzle that's coming up.
So we have a very oddly specific physics-based
puzzle too where you kind of drain these two reservoirs here in order to basically create
pressure, to build a bridge in the next room by flooding two empty reservoirs.
All right, it is about time for Regal Goblin
and a very important safety save here.
Alright, so Regal Goblin has really two things it can do. It can either punch me fairly hard for about 30 damage,
or it can summon other goblins and punch
me for about 15 damage or so.
Goblin is not-
can be put to sleep.
I make a shot at it on the first turn
but if I don't
get to sleep, it's not super common
to get another one, but thanks to Fubi I do.
Okay we got this. Very nice!
So then between turns, I need to...
Because enemies that are asleep can either naturally wake up at the end of the turn in which case
the game tells you so and so woke up but um enemies can also wake up in response to taking
damage which happened there because it flew me and if that happens i need to pay attention
to uh to the to the idle pose basically of
the monster on the kind of the ready screen between turns turns
because enemies that are normal enemies
are kind of wiggling back and forth
and up and down but if they're asleep
they just go up and down.
This is why that extra level for Tia is so important.
You're getting too good upland campaigns on the screen it was very tough to deal with
hi philly me
and having a normal goblin in the
front row is pretty undesirable too
because
that and the regal goblin gang up on tia
they might be able to kill her come on don't do it don't do it
okay both your party members as well as the enemies have a concept of front row and back row
and for the enemy companions against one in either front or back that'll push the boss
which could reduce the damage you get to deal with
yeah if i only need to heal 30 hit points, you're less too.
I'm using potions instead of the healing spell just because
the animation is a little faster.
Regal Goblin has 500 HP so so it takes a while when I'm only doing about
like 30 to 40 damage per hit depending on how the role placement works. had a couple close calls but uh really the biggest thing that did not want to happen
is for Tia to die.
I do have some backup strats if that does happen, but I really hope it doesn't.
It's important to get the experience from all of these bosses on your characters throughout there, so almost every fight you want to have no deaths at the end.
Yeah one thing you might've noticed whenever Puexil is casting a heal spell it's the same spell as either targeting one or both party members.
You can freely target as many of these two characters that you want with this spell and they'll just split the healing or damage among all the characters targeted.
It's really nice and flexible.
Yeah, it's something I wish a lot more RPGs did, give you
a lot of freedom of control over targeting your spells.
Alright should be getting kind of close now...
Just gonna go through the portal i should be getting kind of close now okay another wrinkle golem is behaving a bit and doing these punches instead
of quick companions i think you've got this one. Alright, and that was Regal Goblin.
A pretty slow fight to be honest but I'll take any that I can walk away from.
What? So you forgot to get the key?
The whole point of going there
was to get the key.
Well, we're just gonna have to go back down. Yeah, and We'll have to go back down.
Yeah, we'll have to
check in with who...the person that wants us
to get the key here. Oh! That
key! I found it! Okay.
Yeah, that's a little...that's a pretty silly exploit
that was discovered completely accidentally
by the Lufia 2 speedrun community
in that
the quest trigger to progress the story past here is actually just
to defeat regal goblin even though the whole reason you do so is to try to find the uh
the shrine key um you don't even need it so it saves a
couple seconds of opening the chest
and then uh the woman that basically there was a woman that was trapped
there because she went shopping
In Sundleton named Hilda
And then she introduces
She comes back home to the town of Ten Bell
And then introduces us to our brother Guy
Who introduces us to our brother guy who um we hit it off with pretty well
then he wants to challenge maxim do a friendly sparring contest
before before we do that,
we've got a fair bit of shopping to do.
Does that mean what I think it means?
Let me just explain
what we're doing here first.
We're going to sell off all the um
All the Lucifl stuff that we don't actually need anymore
And the miracles that we uh picked up expressly for selling
get two kukris which are better weapon
has the thunder element then a tough hide which is an armor upgrade for Maxim.
The way you learn new spells in this game is by buying them from shops.
We get the level 1 ice and lightning spells for Tia,
and a level one healing spell for Maxim.
Jail being the Ice Spell?
Yeah just like thank you.
Thank you! Thank you for this translation
and i don't have quite enough money to buy the by the rest of
the high potions i want so So, I'm actually going to go
progress the story here
by challenging Guy
and then
well,
spoilers
some bad stuff happens
here in a few seconds
and then I have to do
a fight
with two flunkies that give me some money
that I can use to afford the rest of the potions.
This is where we get introduced to our first minor antagonist
a fellow by the name... well we later learned his
name is Camu. And he sticks
two goons on us that we put the big boomers
to use which is just a stronger version of boomerangs
and then uh camu takes off at this point
and we find out that he actually kidnapped Hilda,
Guy's sister,
and took her to a nearby tower.
So of course we are going to go
chase him down
and try to rescue her.
So yeah, so I'm going to head back to the shop buy some more potions that i'll need for
for next leg of the run and i guess while i'm walking to the tower what have you got for us
i have so many but i'll just pick a few for now. We have $25
from Cap who says, good luck Poexil
I'm excited to watch you beat a sliding
puzzle! And a great
JRPG also too, that's nice
We've also got $25 from Mystery also too. That's nice.
We've also got $25 from Mystery18
saying, I sadly missed a lot of
GDQ this year with how busy this week has been
but while popping in, I heard something about
an incentive not being met yet time to donate come on y'all
let's get it we are at 92 that's right we have just over 500 left to get that world's
most difficult puzzle i'm very excited for that. It's going to be good.
$75 as well from
Plausitron, who says
for more Lufia 2 and more Puexil
in the chair.
Alright, so then for that last room I was just using knowledge That the scorpions there
Move perpendicular to be
In order to get by them without fights
And here there's a goblin that sometimes has some cobalt or imp
friends standing on the switch i need so yeah take them out
this is gonna be the first of many many towers that you see in this game And let's see...
This is going to be the first of many, many towers that you see in this game.
One of the big things
we kind of say for Lufia 2's charms
are so many great things about it, the soundtrack's amazing,
The bosses are amazing...
But some of the tilesets are kind of overused
And one of the things that you'll see a lot is this tower tile set
Of climbing to the outside of these towers
Yeah, so then there we need... if we go into that
carpeted area without going through the clearly designated
entrance and some blocks appear
to block us off
even after we've hit the switch
we don't want to do that because we're dropping some jars,
this is probably a great opportunity to start talking about the IP system too,
which we haven't really said much about yet and is a
really, really important mechanic that kind of makes this speedrun work as
far as how we're able to just beat a lot of these bosses in other required fights
without taking regular encounters to level
up too so um i guess one of you guys want to kick that off yeah so ip is kind of this game's
equivalent of limit breaks every time you hit, you build up this meter and
IP stands for Akari Points which in Japanese
akari means anger so you're getting angry
at the enemies and now you can do special attacks
I don't like limit breaks in Final Fantasy
In Luthia, these IP attacks are equipment-based so whatever gear
that you have on determines what moves you can use and also determines how much percentage
in your IP meter in order to be able to use that move some of them are going
to take up your entire meters and might be a third so strategically you're gonna be building this
meter up during fights to be able to use and just do big damage attacks in return.
Yeah,
and then Camu is another pretty rough fight kind of like the last two but right about now is where we're really starting to get some, just some better tools
for combat. In particular
equipment that has
nice IP abilities that are effective
for the situation.
Camus is weak against the Lightning element, and the Kupri swords I bought in Tanbell have an IP attack called Thunderblast which is the lightning element.
And that's going to be one of my big sources of damage against camo
the g-tablet that wexel just picked up is a item that protects against a particular status
element and we'll also see a lot of status elements being used throughout this run
as a way to deal with enemies but also you really have to make certain that you are
protected against the majority of the ones that you see used against you in the game.
Yeah, so the Camu fight is one of my favorite boss fights on the run
actually just because there's a lot of directions
that it can go depending on what Camu does, and I have to make a lot of kind of on-the-fly decisions
in how to react with them...react to them optimally. This music is awesome, by the way.
So good!
See that camo is 1500 HP so...
Thunderblast's pretty much the strongest thing I can do.
Now that Maximum has used two thunder blasts
gonna build up that IP gauge and be able to do it again
Guy's also got the IP gauge and it'll be able to do it again. Guy's also got the
IP gauge started there. Yeah, then the way you accumulate
IP too like Jair said is by taking damage from enemies
really hitting Fubi there but it's a
little more complex too in that um the amount of ip you get is kind
of relative to how much damage you take relative to like your current hp
so kind of the less the more hurt you are
when you take damage the more ip you get out of it
kind of look like regal goblin camu is able to summon goons. There's a lot of bosses in this
game that can do that, and with
a few exceptions we always want to kill
them ASAP.
Here the optimal way to do that
is through throwing a boomerang and then casting
the gale spells because the goons are weak to uh today's element
hey the muster tackle philip everybody's gate a little bit
and sometimes that is good.
In canon we don't want to have them just spam
that move over and over again because you
have to do a lot of time healing.
But often in these boss fights it's actually
a good thing to have a weak AOE attack
to be able to get IP recovered and and also just peel it back up on the
next turn I'm not a fan of how many times he's doing this, but it's not too dire yet.
Do you want any donations while
you're fighting? After this fight, we are actually going to have a very nice long
period of time that we can do donations. Oh enjoy
the music.
Getting put to sleep is not really what we want but that's why we bought the awake potions for A judgement call I need to make in Camu fights too is whether to use IP with Guy or not.
Because Guy can use the same thunder blast as maxim and that helps against
camu but it helps even more against the next bus but yeah i can't move down sounds a very nice fight.
Yeah, so again if Camu is just doing like three or four Buster attacks in a row and completely fills up Guy's IP
And I'm not close to defeating him.
I'll often dip into Guy's IP at that point, but
I really, really want to try to conserve as much
Guy IP as possible for Tarantula
the next boss. So I'm actually in very good shape
at this point now.
Alright so
Camu leaves us
with some cryptic comments about
the world being ruled by things called sinistrals um which we have a little
conversation with guy and his sister and girlfriend about before a guy kind of decides to
permanently join us to help fight these
sinistrals and
stop other people
from
being like
kidnapped or harmed like his sister was.
And, um...
Yeah, and then with that, you may have noticed
there were some treasure chests behind Camu
too, which, well...
We made the choice of rescuing hilda instead
of looting the treasure chest but those chests have some really really good
equipment in them one of which is more or less a hard requirement to beat
the next boss at the levels I'm at.
So unfortunately we're actually going
to have to climb Tanbell Tower again
in order to get that treasure.
Yeah, but some good news!
That might be an excellent time
to get some donations then.
Yes, but I'll just say
that it's not...
You've seen most of it before, but I don't need
to get the dungeon key again and I don't need
to go to the secret room where the jute helmet is
again, so I skip those those two but unfortunately when you
when you leave and re-enter a dungeon all um like switches and puzzle elements all get reset
so i have to redo all of that so so food i guess you've got about two two and a half minutes of um of uh time to uh
to spread the word oh i can spread the word okay all right All right, we have just over $200 left to get that world's most difficult puzzle incentive met so so close to the 7000 that we need and then we have that bonus ace run after so don't forget about that
we have 50 from armar who was agreeing with me from earlier
saying lufia's lucia 2's music is really memorable it was one of the first jrpgs
i played and i still can remember how pumped up
the music got me in the end of the game.
I'm excited to hear that.
We have $100 from The Soup Store
who says, never heard of this game
but it looks rad! Let's rock that puzzle!
What do you mean you're at the soup store?
What do you mean you're at soup-
Sorry, I love that meme so much.
We have $25 from Seanzilla who says
Hello, That Lufia 2 puzzle is still We have $25 from Sean Zilla who says,
LOL that Lufia 2 puzzle is still something else.
$25 from VerminQuest saying,
Tiles and puzzles? this game has everything 50 from slade bain saying you have to donate
to one of the super nintendo rpgs i played but never
finished as a kid.
My parents rented it for me a few times in a row,
but I got stuck on some block-pushing puzzle.
Donating to see the solution
to one of my gaming nemesis from my childhood.
Happy birthday, Poo Weexel! Thank you.
We got a lot of happy birthdays for you in here.
Can I keep going for a little bit? Yep, go ahead.
Alright! Basically you've got until
I actually get to the top of the tower again
and loot the treasure. Beautiful, I can try to get
some of these out here, there are so many
okay, $20 from Will
Gallant is saying how many moves was
that for the minimum amount? I want to see this
puzzle, 116 right? Yep.
Oh my goodness. $50 from
Code and Data saying excited
to donate for such a great cause
thanks to all the volunteers helping to make
this happen. Let's get that lufia 2 most difficult puzzle incentive
we are so close we are so close less than 200 dollars to go 25 from sporadic erratic who says
had to get my donation in to help out with solving the world's
most difficult puzzle. Happy birthday
Poexum!
$25 from Faint Heart
Okay
Oh this was uh, this was from um my friendly neighborhood i was gonna do a
uh cookie monster impression all right we'll do it don't hold back
i don't think i can do it well but okay in-game puppet wasn't
specified so see it's for cookie that's good enough for me oh cookie cookie cookie starts
receive is very good all right, $25 from Sparkax
who says Lufia 2 is one of the
most underrated JRPGs from the
end of the Super Nintendo's life.
It deserves to be held up there
with Final Fantasy 6, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger and more.
I wasn't planning on staying up all night but now I'm gonna try. Gotta see that
puzzle solved! Yeah, I love learning about this game actually right now
so thank you for the explanations.
Alright, so we get some very, very nice items
here. The fire dagger is more or less
a hard requirement to beat Tarantula, the next boss
just because it's a nice weapon upgrade for guide
that's the fire element also I'm heading back into the tower but don't worry now
we're just heading out the back door so we are done with this place
we also got a nice accessory called the Pearl Brace, which is...
Let me think. I've got a little bit of shopping here to do.
So while you're shopping, I'll explain Pearl Braces and Camo Armor, two things that got picked up there.
And both are going be used for basically the entire rest of the run
They're actually really good items
for when they show up
The Pearl Brace will see its
IP move used a bit
and Camo Armor for later in the game
yeah the pearl brace gives like it's going to be very useful near term because it has paralysis
resistance which trula can do.
And then later on both that and getting fire
resistance from it are gonna come in handy.
So this town of Clemento there's basically a we We make friends, well we could but
we don't have to
with the owner of
a glass shop named
Jaffe I believe.
He is basically into a greedy person
named Roshi,
or Rosh,
who owns the town
basically and we kind of overhear roshi talking about um wanting a an apple that's
made out of rubies that's rumored to be in this nearby cave. So, um...
just as a friend too- a favor
for Jaffe we're gonna go looking for that
ruby apple and hopefully pay off
uh, Jaffee's debts.
I just wanna tune in really quick and say that we have now met the world's most difficult puzzle incentive.
Yay!
I'm so excited to see this.
Oh, my goodness.
All right, you all.
We are 24% of the way now to that bonus ace run something else I want
to see get those donations in and put the donations toward the incentive don't forget
Alright so after a fairly lengthy dungeon in the form of Ten Bell Tower,
The Ruby Cave here is actually quite short.
Especially if we're just skipping deep optional treasure areas and heading straight for the end. Like we're pretty much there now
There's actually a lot more in this cave that we're not going to be seeing, you can build bridges all the way off
into the distance and get some more items
but since they're not gonna be required for the rugby connections guys right through this
All right, so we're about to face yet another pretty rough bus called tarantula
The bait just had a bit the kind of debate two reasons Tarantula is so rough
is that it's an attack that I believe
it's scripted to always use on the first turn
called Poison Shower, which does a lot of damage
and can poison you.
And it can also, with its normal single
target attack, can paralyze you.
So... Okay, we didn't get poisoned showered
so I guess it's not guaranteed.
But um... We did unfortunately get basically robbed of some damage output
there because like I think we talked about during the Regal Goblin fight when bosses
that can summon help do so it's random which road
the uh the helper goes into and if it goes into the front row that quietly moves the boss
into the back row and the fact that that Tarantula did that right there
robbed me of about 100 damage or so
from the IP attack.
The other thing we've done is buff Tia's magic stat to be able to do a little bit more on those healing spells, which is going to be necessary to keep up with how much damage Tarantula can do. Unfortunately getting paralyzed there with some of these mystery pins I bought back in
Clementa or Forza. There isn't really a universal status cure item in this game but um
there's one for each possible uh status ailment
and looking at this point the poison is really not going to be all that significant. Taking down one or two damage extra when the bus is doing 50-60 plus is not even noticeable at this point.
Taking a lot of damage, but I'm getting a lot of IP out of it at least.
That's what I was not hoping for.
Yeah, paralysis is one of the most dangerous things here as that can then chain together. So we definitely don't want your second person getting paralyzed because
that's really tough to recover from for one at a time though it's mostly
getting back out of the script for the fight.
Try to get Guy up to the point where he can do another one of those big fire attacks
and hopefully this time...
Hopefully this time they actually do it.
This player will not bump the boss into the back rail.
Okay, I didn't get paralyzed that time.
So yeah, Tarantula has 2,000 HP so each IP attack is about a quarter of that.
Maximum is actually is about a quarter of that. And then Maxim
is actually pretty much
just to support character
for this fight
because in order
to do real damage
to Tarantula,
it needs to be
the fire element
which Maxim can't do so it's just melee attacks with
the Fire Dagger, IP attacks and the Spark spell. That is how I deal damage.
You can tell this Trance was pretty low on health because that's what the trigger for
Trance doing any healing is
so doesn't heal again and probably two turns away from
kill kill all of them at this point.
Unless that happens.
I am outpacing that, but it does drag out the fight every time it heals
all right here we go
not a terribly fast tarantula fight, thanks to getting paralyzed and two heals near the end. But like these early game bosses I'll gladly take first try.
Alright, so we kind of found that the
tarantula had the ruby apple and was using it to just lure us into its trap
but then it broke during the fight which kinda of cued us in that it's not
really ruby if it broke so easily and that jaffe we're rescuing here is making these apples out
of glass and gives us a fresh one. And then we, uh,
we kind of make the decision that we're going to go give
the glass apple to Roshi to get him to pay off Jeffy's
debts. And even,
even though we're kind of deceiving him,
the fact that we justify it to ourselves by saying that even
though the Apple isn't really rubies,
it's worth something too.
It's,
it's, it has perceived value by um, by Roj.
Sure is incredibly lucky that the NPC you just found happened to have an identical glass ruby apple on him in order to solve this quest
supposed to buy a warp at the town to walk back here but it's
it's no big deal all right so i guess while we're turning
in the uh quest and and seeing a really adorable frolic animation from Tia afterwards. What do you got for us?
Oh hello! I have lovely donations with lovely messages from lovely people
we've got a 250 donation from furzen who says looking forward to another
showcase of pooexel's encyclopedic RPG knowledge.
We have another $250
donation from
AmbyValent, I get it,
had to donate during one of my favorite
games run by one of my favorite runners i've beat this game
so many times and every time i still ugly cry at the end let's make poexil do the
world's hardest puzzle we'll have good news for you 50 from apollo he says lufia 2 is one of my favorite games
of all time let's get it gdq and the runners 25 some chaotic deal who says
hardest puzzle in the world?
How could I not donate?
Got time for a little more?
Yeah, while we're heading to
the next town.
Go for it if you'd like two more. Sure! Absolutely. $10 from Phoenix Captain.
Phoenix says, Looking forward to seeing my favorite RPG on the GDQ stage.
I have to see the puzzle that took me hours to beat as a kid get absolutely destroyed
and we've got 25 from sky vickner saying looking forward to a comfy run
to finish out the rest of my shift and really
really hoping to see some truly wacky shenanigans in that lufia ace fun
translates for human rights and let's get some hype from the graveyard shift crew
awesome from the Graveyard Shift crew. Awesome!
Alright, so we're heading into
the next town called Parcelite
where we are meeting our
next playable character
who's basically the
Knight Captain of Parcelite
named Celan.
Although she is also serving as a
kindergarten cop at this point too.
This is finally where we can buy regains, which are the basic tier revival item. We didn't really mention it but a big part of why a lot of these bosses
we've been fighting earlier have been
so dangerous is that we just don't have a convenient
means of reviving dead
characters. Like for Rebo Goblin specifically
I had some backup strats involving
my miracles
like using one and then picking up another item to
replace the money i lost there but for like cambo and tarantula if i had somebody die
it pretty much would have to reset and retry the fight for my safety save.
But now we have regains, so if somebody dies
We can bring them back up
One big thing about death though is that you do lose your entire IP gauge
And that could be very devastating at some points.
But interestingly,
you keep the buffs that you have on them.
So if we have any moves
that we've used to increase
somebody's speed or stats,
those will stick around
even after a revival.
And then regains also,
if you use them on a living character
they just recover 100 hit points too
so there may be some cases where I'll
preemptively throw a regain if i'm
concerned about somebody potentially dying on that turn and if they don't
then it's not just a total waste they get some healing out of it
all right so after we get introduced to Salon,
We go talk to the King of Parcelite who's already heard
Of our renown and sends us on a quest to go retrieve basically an ornamental sword called the
treasure sword from a nearby shrine and uh kind of sends salon to accompany us so salon is
kind of kind of another mage type character although she's a little better
at melee combat than tia too as far as her
stats and what kinds of weapons she can equip.
It describes a lot as the knight with swords,
do those sword battles but then she's got a rod in the skin so...
She could have like one sword eventually I think.
But yeah... It's like one sword eventually, I think. Yeah.
I don't know.
Alright so we're heading into the basement of the Treasure Sword Shrine to get the Dungeon Key and there's some really nice items here. The first thing we're getting is the Undead Ring which not really too obvious what it does, but the two main
utilities that I'll be getting out of
it is that when you equip it on
somebody, their melee attacks will
become holy element.
And you also get immunity to instant death out of it
both of which are going to be used for the whole rest of the game one little oddity is that normally in this game red is the regular chest color blue
as the quest chest but for this dungeon only
it's green instead of black yep no idea why if anybody if anybody
actually knows feel free to make a donation and let us know.
So get the dungeon key and then just an upgraded armlet that has the same battle lust IP ability
that Tia's mini shield does, and I don't think we really
talked about that specifically.
Battle Lust gives you a 40% boost
in attack power.
Except for we've only seen the Power Gourd, which is
a little bit of a weaker version of that.
We did we've only seen the power board which is a little bit of a weaker version of that but we did use battle lust on the chemical fight actually on guy but yeah but other than
that it's mostly the power boards and you are able to stack stat buffs in this game too
although each time you do it it's diminishing returns
so taking a little detour here just to get a bat rock because in addition to like one of the types
of equipment all of your characters can equip or jewels or gemstones and those,
in addition to having IP abilities,
just all raise specific stats. Batroc we're actually just getting to solve
for cash but I'm getting gems that will Ring, which is going to be pretty important for the next boss.
You might see some weird text on the screen, it's a bug in localization that whenever he goes between
the menus of different characters, it'll leave some
of the text behind.
There are some really weird ones that come up.
We'll try and call them out when we see one.
I did like us accumulating more and more g's at the end of rank
tell this the conga line room all right now we get a pretty rough puzzle for people playing
the game uh for the first time, too.
Because yeah, like Jerry said earlier,
this game has those hint tiles
in little puzzle rooms
like that white tile
in the northwest corner there
and those are pretty good
for the most part
as far as telling you
what the goal of the puzzle is and like here
it tells you have a certain number of moves to kind of make all of the blocks turn orange but
with this what the hints don't tell you is that you need to line them up diagonally in some cases.
Alright, so with that we are at the boss. If you're familiar with Melty Gemini from Final Fantasy IX
We're about to fight the Lufia equivalent of that
which are two clowns
named Pierre and Danielle.
This is kind of an interesting
fight in that
we have to fight both of them
with our full party
and then we realize
that they're kind of
two halves of one monsters, then we have
to split up and
take them out
at the same time.
This is also the blue one so it immediately opens with a fire attack and
his weak to ice
and he's gonna be exactly obviously with the red one
week the week the fire for some reason.
Yeah, like I know we were talking about earlier that
The magic system in this game is really cool
That you have free control over how many targets your
spells can target you don't have to commit to one or all like you do with most other older
turn based rpgs and then the the amount of damage or
healing you get is proportional to the number of targets
so in this case um under most circumstances guide
can get through all these fights without needing to be healed and um
but because the other characters are a bit squishier
i am like you're seeing there,
I use healing on the other three. For most... for the full AoE
bolt spell that Pyrrha does then just a 3-way targeted strong
spell would mostly recovered that.
Now these additional fights you're going to use your entire party to fight each of the clowns
but there's going to be refights coming up and they're
going to have the exact same stats but you only have half of your party so
this is the easy time through then we get to have the harder version of each of these
and just like you'd expect a, a red enemy here uses ice and water spells against you
and is weak against fire.
Oh we also also lightning.
Fumi punch!
Every time you say fumi i get confused Both this and then the 2v1 fight with Danielle are a bit easier than the ones with Pierre, just because my means of doing, of exploiting Danielle's weakness
are better than what I can do with Pierre.
Oh yeah, and the clowns
can also just laugh at you too.
It's just an empty turn
that's kind of just designed
to make these fights a bit more fair.
Okay. kind of just designed to make these fights a bit more fair. And that's
our first one, but
yeah, we noticed that after we fought both of them
they're immediately responding and kicking us out
And it kind of dawns on us that
They are telling us the same thing and they look very similar.
So it's kind of refuted in that it's actually two halves
of one monster, so we're going to have to split up into
two teams to fight them both at the same time.
We don't get
to choose that, the game just kind of assigns
one fighter and one mage for each clown.
Yeah team 1 we're going to have
Maxim
Tia and foody
and then uh team two we're going to have guy salon another good thing
all right so this is where i put the mind ring i picked up there
to use because that it basically gives me early access to Stronger which is the tier 2 healing spell.
There's two things that Pyrrha can do that I can't keep up with the Tier 1 healing spell, and that's either punching Salon or using Fireballs on Maxim.
He is low on IP at this point,
but that fireball's gonna let me
use Glacial Blast on Tia here might be enough for the kill actually
here's a great example where taking damage is actually a positive for your healer. So you're getting that IP back and able to just basically be continuously chain healing. continuously changing my hits properly, but I'm not getting punished for it at least.
Okay, there we go.
Deaths in these fights
are, other than risking
losing, they or not terribly punishing
as far as losing experience.
Alright, so then we fight Danielle
I preemptively throw a
high potion on Salon in case she takes damage
while she's using Battle Lust to raise Guy's attack power by 40%,
and then I just kind of unleash the fury here
And hope that Guy builds enough IP to use his is one that does triple damage basically I love the soundtrack for this game, but hearing it through the GDQ sound system makes it sound so much better too
i feel like I'm gonna hum this music for the rest of the week by the way
oh you absolutely are!
Yeah!
Should be done this train...
Just a quick update, by the way.
We are over $4,000 toward the ace run so far out of the 15,000 that we need.
So making great progress.
That is by the end of the run, right?
Yes, it's going the end of the run, right? That's when it'll close? Uh yes this one will be after the run
So you have like some time but get your donations
in now then we can know that its
happening sooner
And if we finish all these donations,
we might have other games that could need some
donations as well. That's right!
Like unlocking the secret
ending in Gunbrella.
But I want to see this ace run as well, so...
Let's make it happen.
Alright, so that's the Clowns defeated.
A pretty smooth fight,
all things considered.
While I'm on the island where Parcelite is too
I'm actually not using
the menu cancel trick in order to avoid overworld encounters.
That's because actually Parcelite Island
