[00:00:00] so um All right, everyone.

[00:12:17] please give it up for blonde cave on gondor and jpeg and they are going to golf it

[00:12:24] wrong hole only Hello everybody and welcome to the first inaugural wrong hole only open

[00:12:42] brought to you by complaining complaining

[00:12:45] it just works my name is sponge nicely and i'm joined today by one of the

[00:12:50] greatest to ever play the game, Mr.

[00:12:52] Wedge Chippington. Wedge, how do you

[00:12:54] feel about our competitors' chances today?

[00:12:59] Incredible.

[00:13:00] That's the kind of quality feedback you only get from one of the best to ever do it

[00:13:06] before we begin we would like to have a brief moment

[00:13:09] of silence in remembrance of our good friend Scent.

[00:13:12] He's fine, we just wanted to remember him.

[00:13:16] Thank you and with that moment

[00:13:18] of silence out of the way let's introduce

[00:13:20] our players for todays game.

[00:13:22] First with the pink ball we have Blonde Cave on!

[00:13:26] It's me, I'm here!

[00:13:30] With the pinwheel ball we have JPEG. Hello, we have JPEG.

[00:13:34] Hello! I'm...

[00:13:36] I bring Panache, Moxie and a certain

[00:13:39] Jeanne-Essaiqua.

[00:13:41] And finally with the Blue Ball

[00:13:42] we have reigning champion Gondor. Hi I'm Gondor and i can't confirm or deny where

[00:13:49] I was when the westfold fell just saying. One final note, we encourage cheering, screaming and laughing for our golfers but we do want to respect the sanctity of the game

[00:14:02] And request that you keep your claps to a reasonable volume.

[00:14:08] Exceptional work, thank you so much.

[00:14:10] And with that, golfers, are you ready?

[00:14:14] Ostensibly.

[00:14:15] I guess as ready as one gets.

[00:14:18] So let's get started with the first inaugural wrong hole open in 3, 2, 1...

[00:14:30] Golf! three two one golf

[00:14:36] starting out on our first hole our runners are going to let me take over because this is actually one of the most difficult holes they're

[00:14:39] going to deal with. The setup at the beginning

[00:14:40] is exceptionally difficult, and as

[00:14:43] they are required to get a hole in one

[00:14:44] in order for the wrong hole to count

[00:14:46] that setup needs to be extremely precise

[00:14:49] Oh we see Blancavon already with a

[00:14:51] heartbreaker inches away

[00:14:53] from sinking it. A rare double

[00:14:55] bogey from the champion

[00:14:57] Oh and JPEG with a very nice shot there

[00:15:02] oh but holman one from gondor puts him firmly in the lead

[00:15:06] jpeg however likely to catch up by virtue of just being

[00:15:09] pretty cool.

[00:15:13] Thank you for that actually!

[00:15:16] Blancayvon moving on to hole two now,

[00:15:17] You'll notice on hole 2 it's a fairly straightforward shot where you need to go the

[00:15:23] problem of course is the power oh but kevon sinks it like a master absolutely excellent work. Lots of jumpies on this hole for Gondor. Now when you do

[00:15:38] jump the ball, you can control some of your momentum, but

[00:15:43] controls is a strong word for anything you do in Golfit. It's more of a

[00:15:47] hit the space bar and pray that it does what you want

[00:15:51] as the core mechanic of golf it is also to push the mouse and pray that

[00:15:56] it does what you want

[00:15:59] it's just unbelievable the quality of play that we are seeing from these three

[00:16:06] hey um commentator i know this is a little bit meta but would you like to explain

[00:16:11] some of the features that are different from a normal golf playthrough

[00:16:15] i would love to what are you talking about this is this is totally perfectly

[00:16:19] normal golf play through i'm not sure what you mean

[00:16:21] um actually i've been talking plenty i think I'll leave that one to Wedge.

[00:16:27] Excuse you.

[00:16:31] Thanks, Wedge.

[00:16:33] So how this differs from a regular game of golf is our players are only allowed to get the ball in the wrong hole.

[00:16:40] If you're on the tee for Hole 1, you can go into any hole from 2 through 18, but not Hole 1.

[00:16:48] If any of our players do land in the correct hole they will be donating...

[00:16:53] How much?

[00:16:54] $50.

[00:16:55] Yes, $50 if you make the cardinal sin.

[00:16:57] I'm about to do that right now.

[00:17:00] The only problem of course with this approach is

[00:17:03] when you are shooting for the wrong hole

[00:17:06] If you land on the green of another

[00:17:08] hole, the game will reset your ball to where you started the shot. So ostensibly

[00:17:12] every wrong hole has to be a hole in one meaning

[00:17:16] rather than normal putt-put where our players may be able to get close

[00:17:21] to the hole with a series of putts in this situation the players have

[00:17:26] to play a real game and really nail their shots.

[00:17:29] Gondor now on hole 10, one of the more difficult holes for most

[00:17:33] players. Gondor had a rare hole in 1 on this warm up and

[00:17:37] 0-3 in the actual run run some exceptional work from Gondor.

[00:17:42] Seeing a little bit of heat coming out of JPEG is to have shaved back there.

[00:17:45] Yeah, can you stop complimenting him? I have never come to my gondola again in my life.

[00:17:55] That's sad.

[00:17:58] You're beautiful.

[00:18:00] Thank you! What did I just say?

[00:18:03] Oh my god, I can't focus now.

[00:18:07] Oh cool!

[00:18:09] Hey um...I complained and guess what happened?

[00:18:12] It worked! Complaining.

[00:18:14] It just works.

[00:18:17] Now you may notice that on most of these holes our players are getting to a similar spot on the green

[00:18:23] of the intended hole or they're just shooting directly from the tee.

[00:18:26] There are quite precise setups to make sure that your angle is correct

[00:18:30] and you have a shot that's possible to get um on each of these holes

[00:18:34] you will see for example very nice

[00:18:40] now the bounce out is something that can happen in golf,

[00:18:43] particularly in wrong hole only as we are using wedges and drivers

[00:18:47] on what would otherwise be a putt-putt course.

[00:18:50] A bounce out is of course when the ball goes into the hole and then bounces out

[00:18:55] of the hole. In this case, JPEG's ball bounced back in so it was a

[00:18:59] legal play moving her onto the next hole.

[00:19:03] Alright here we go. Bonus hole! hole yes that is one of the opportunities the players have to get

[00:19:14] their ball into what we call a bonus hole which are

[00:19:16] secret hidden holes around the map oh well there we go beautiful Oh, beautiful work.

[00:19:27] Kevin's got a really

[00:19:29] nice...oh! You hate to

[00:19:31] see it bounce out like that with such a good lineup.

[00:19:35] But Kevin always a perennial competitor is not gonna let that stop him oh and

[00:19:41] there it is a beautiful shot for having excellent those close try this from the

[00:19:46] start I shouldn't do this.

[00:19:47] JPEG going for some backup strats, feeling confident?

[00:19:51] Not really.

[00:19:57] I'm just trying to girlboss my way through this right now, okay?

[00:20:00] Well, as we always say in the golf community...

[00:20:06] Girlboss.

[00:20:07] Gatekeep.

[00:20:08] Golf ball! Girlboss...gatekeep.

[00:20:12] Golf ball!

[00:20:16] That's right folks, girlboss gatekeep golf ball.

[00:20:30] Bestie I'm literally begging. good can i just write a hole for like several i don't need to like pay mortgage or anything hey husband you're watching don't

[00:20:39] two of our runners have now moved on to Graveyard.

[00:20:41] The main mechanic of Graveyard is this large funnel.

[00:20:44] It is actually the hole for Hole 7,

[00:20:46] but it is accessible from a majority

[00:20:48] of the holes in the Graveyard,

[00:20:50] which will allow both of our players and

[00:20:52] very soon JPEG to be into the funnel. And then, the ball will eventually roll

[00:21:01] into the center and go into the hole.

[00:21:03] The problem, of course is there are several fake holes on the funnel if

[00:21:07] the ball goes into a fake hole that is a reset because a fake hole

[00:21:11] is not a wrong hole. Important distinction. As we are watching these two runners

[00:21:16] drop into the funnel, a couple times you'll notice that they're trying to get close to the center of

[00:21:20] the funnel it is possible to hit the outside of the funnel and then is possible to hit the outside

[00:21:23] of the funnel and then start to roll around

[00:21:25] the funnel, and rolling around

[00:21:27] the funnel is slow. It takes quite a long time

[00:21:29] but you don't necessarily want

[00:21:31] to reset because it isn't guaranteed

[00:21:33] in the hole at that point.

[00:21:35] So, a difficult decision if you

[00:21:37] reset and shoot again or just take

[00:21:39] time loss waiting for it to slowly

[00:21:41] sadly roll to the middle.

[00:21:45] Very nice line up from JPEG on this the middle. It is pretty impressive.

[00:21:47] Very nice lineup from JPEG on this hole.

[00:21:48] Oh, no.

[00:21:51] I think this is probably a good time for some donations.

[00:21:51] Yeah.

[00:21:54] Oh, wonderful, because I have plenty of donations for you.

[00:21:55] Here's $20 from Quentin who says...

[00:21:59] Go Golf It team!

[00:22:00] Y'all are awesome and you got this.

[00:22:03] Hole-in-one every time, right?

[00:22:05] Right?

[00:22:13] First time every time right um first time every time don't ever change y'all and trans rights indelibly

[00:22:17] friends baby thank you Quentin

[00:22:19] Do you have time for anymore?

[00:22:23] My monitor just went black

[00:22:32] Oh that's exciting black okay I'm just turn around and try and do this on the main screen Oh, and I went into vision. Okay we're fine.

[00:22:41] Some exceptional work from JPEG there fighting back against...

[00:22:45] Can you both just like hang out for a while or something?

[00:22:49] I got a halo because I'm perfect, thank you.

[00:22:52] That's true.

[00:22:54] I do want to take a moment to remind you of some

[00:22:57] other sponsors of this first inaugural

[00:22:59] Wrong Hole Open.

[00:23:01] The first inaugural

[00:23:02] Wrong Hole Open

[00:23:03] is sponsored by

[00:23:03] the Mayonnaise Hospital.

[00:23:05] The Mayonnaise Hospital,

[00:23:07] the only legally

[00:23:08] distinct hospital

[00:23:09] We were so The only legally distinct hospital.

[00:23:12] We were so proud of ourselves when we came up with that,

[00:23:14] that it should not have been.

[00:23:17] I'm going to be so real,

[00:23:18] I can't tell on the stream...

[00:23:19] Can y'all see the sign

[00:23:21] is the sign visible on screen because it opened your eyes

[00:23:28] oh you could probably do a couple more exceptions while i'm fighting for my life

[00:23:36] that i can do here's 25 from atelier xeno who says, oh no I don't think any of these shots are going in the

[00:23:46] right hole.

[00:23:47] No they're not.

[00:23:48] Do you have time for more?

[00:23:53] Yes! Here is $50 from Chibi

[00:23:57] Carrera. Hello, wife.

[00:24:01] And they're saying hello back.

[00:24:03] They would like to say, JPEG!

[00:24:05] What an incredible person you are.

[00:24:07] You're an amazing host and amazing social media team member

[00:24:10] and an amazing runner of Silly Game?

[00:24:13] What can't you do seriously you're wonderful

[00:24:16] and literally the funniest person i know congrats on wrong hole only and good luck with the race

[00:24:22] love you love you you were the one that made me survive that.

[00:24:25] Thank you very much.

[00:24:27] That is too true.

[00:24:29] JPEG is a hilarious

[00:24:31] individual, all three of these golfers

[00:24:33] really funny people and

[00:24:36] really exceptional athletes.

[00:24:38] I do want to talk to you a little bit...

[00:24:40] You were going to call us hot but I don't know how!

[00:24:42] You are? I mean, I wasn't gonna say it

[00:24:44] but yeah, like look at you, you're smoking. Look at these outfits! Are you kidding me?

[00:24:49] I've never wanted to smooch the homies more.

[00:24:52] Hey welcome to Silly Block everybody are you good?

[00:24:56] Yeah!

[00:24:59] I do

[00:24:59] want to talk to you a little bit about some of the core

[00:25:01] mechanics of this golf game. Now, we have talked

[00:25:03] about what makes Wrong Hole only unique

[00:25:05] but Golf It in general is a game controlled

[00:25:08] pretty much primarily if not completely by your mouse.

[00:25:12] You use the mouse to find the angle

[00:25:16] that you will be shooting at, and then click

[00:25:19] to bring the putter or the driver or the wedge out whichever

[00:25:22] club you deem best for your current situation.

[00:25:26] And then you will pull the mouse back and push the mouse forward in order to

[00:25:33] Hit the ball in the direction that you have aimed. The problem of course is that

[00:25:43] our golfers are fairly convinced there may be a power randomizer built into the game

[00:25:47] where it feels like...

[00:25:52] Oh thank goodness. that went in exceptional. My soul left my body.

[00:25:54] Wow an eagle one of the best kinds of scores to get on this America's birthday.

[00:26:03] Yeah!

[00:26:04] Can we get a happy birthday, America?

[00:26:07] I can't believe every American

[00:26:09] was born on this day.

[00:26:11] Just like how all horses are born on January 1st.

[00:26:15] Look that up, not right now.

[00:26:20] Please watch the rest of this and then look it up

[00:26:23] uh but yes the power randomizer though not proven is believed in by many golf

[00:26:28] hit professionals the power randomizer is the conspiratorial belief that when you pull

[00:26:34] the mouse back and push forward the same amount on two different shots it will go

[00:26:39] to different distances because consistency in your performance does not always reflect into

[00:26:45] consistency in the performance of the ball.

[00:26:49] Oh my god, 36?

[00:26:50] No it was a 36.

[00:26:51] A 36 from the under absolutely incredible on graveyard you get to continue

[00:26:57] to live with me congratulations hooray condor moving on now uh to our third and final map, Pirates.

[00:27:06] And you may notice on the pirate map

[00:27:08] much like we had the funnel to rely on for the graveyard

[00:27:12] we now have the cannons to rely on

[00:27:14] so you will see the runners aiming for the cannon we now have the cannons to rely on.

[00:27:15] So you will see the runners aiming for the cannon from many different angles,

[00:27:19] The difference being that the hitbox on a cannon is slightly smaller than

[00:27:23] the hitbox on a giant funnel.

[00:27:27] Just a little!

[00:27:31] I do think we could take one or two more donations at this point.

[00:27:33] Shirley, Shirley here's five dollars for you

[00:27:35] from Satan herself Hi Satan! here's five dollars for you from a satan herself a little birdie told me about a three-way golf it

[00:27:42] race is that a triple bogey either way we are hitting it out of the park i hope you've all been in the green this

[00:27:51] whole time much love from the back couch thank you backcouch we love you hi hello claps for puns really wonderful stuff can we squeeze

[00:28:04] in a couple more absolutely oh good because uh we have ten10 from Madge Danvers who says,

[00:28:11] Thanks Wedge! Very insightful.

[00:28:15] Wedge really was one of the greatest to ever play this game.

[00:28:19] It is reported though it was... One of the greatest to ever play this game.

[00:28:23] It is reported, though it was sadly a practice room PB

[00:28:28] so it cannot be confirmed but it wasn't reported that Wedge got a one minute record

[00:28:31] That's right all three maps in one minute record. That's right, all three maps in ONE MINUTE! I know, exceptional work and for somebody

[00:28:35] with no arms... 10 out of 10 work Wedge

[00:28:39] Well, here we go a 10 work wedge.

[00:28:41] Here we go.

[00:28:45] You'll notice now hole 6 looking very similar to holes 1 and also

[00:28:47] 2 and also 3. It's a lot

[00:28:49] of cannon in this map, but the way we get to

[00:28:52] the cannon is different. There is one coming up a few holes

[00:28:56] from now for our golfers where you can just barely see

[00:29:00] the back end of the cannon between

[00:29:03] the slats of some of the bamboo, and it's a really exceptional

[00:29:07] beautiful moment when you squeeze through those

[00:29:11] slats and nail it right on the cannon this is one in particular where

[00:29:15] the can is not particularly visible but they know in their hearts where it is

[00:29:21] and if you just follow your heart,

[00:29:23] You'll always find the can. You can play golf.

[00:29:24] Oh.

[00:29:28] Tattoo.

[00:29:29] We can probably do a couple more donations.

[00:29:32] Shirley, Shirley.

[00:29:37] We have $170 from Gloop Queen.

[00:29:37] Wow!

[00:29:38] Hi!

[00:29:39] Hello!

[00:29:46] Who says all horses and all speed runners are born on January 1st.

[00:29:52] Speedrunners usually around 12-01, if it's a personal best.

[00:30:02] That's so true! That's much do you have time for a few more we do here's ten dollars from atitri who says this run is like the hotel elevators

[00:30:08] the way i want to swipe those cardigans y'all are looking short Oh my god! So clever.

[00:30:17] It's really good. The funniest

[00:30:19] to ever do it.

[00:30:23] Do you have time for a few more? We do. Wonderful.

[00:30:25] Here is $5 from Wolf Pl wolf planes who says this stream brought to you by golf it

[00:30:30] golf it where any hole is a goal that is incredibly true and i do want to take a moment to shout out some more of our first

[00:30:42] inaugural wrong hole open sponsors including the concept of jazz the concept of jazz it's all about the golf you don't play

[00:30:54] wow a hole-in-one again from gondor really looking like jpeg is moments away

[00:30:59] from simply strangling the runner next to him

[00:31:02] which well a violation not a disqualification that would only be

[00:31:06] a two-stroke penalty for a chokeout. As long as a

[00:31:11] legal hold is used. My water's milk.

[00:31:15] Yes, we have the classic milk-water

[00:31:19] for Kevin. Exceptional work over here the good news is that

[00:31:24] the milk water does not change the physics mostly because we don't touch it

[00:31:28] because i'm sure if we touched it, it would. Oh absolutely.

[00:31:32] Please rope, I'm begging.

[00:31:34] To be fair, we don't know enough about how the physics work

[00:31:36] to know if they changed. True.

[00:31:38] That's very accurate. We only have like

[00:31:40] 200 hours in this so... And we still don't

[00:31:43] understand the game. And we haven't recommended

[00:31:45] it on Steam.

[00:31:49] Would you though? Yeah!

[00:31:50] Kind of. Hang on!

[00:31:53] If he wins? No.

[00:31:57] Don't do this

[00:31:59] to yourself.

[00:32:01] So close but just hitting the barrier there for Gondor. 17 giving a little bit of trouble

[00:32:07] So he's going to try a different setup

[00:32:11] 18 is right up there

[00:32:14] A little difficult always harder to shoot up than to shoot down in a game of golf but Gondor just...

[00:32:21] Beautiful shot! Exceptional triple bogey.

[00:32:24] Are you serious? How did you just do that sorry

[00:32:30] kevin's the only one who does that hole that way this is

[00:32:32] the last hole for me so i'm coming up on time here in a second

[00:32:41] please that is time beautiful work from gondor but jpeg with an incredible comeback already now on hole 17 after quite a deficit early in the run. Looking like JPEG may be able to pull it back.

[00:32:52] Oh, that depends on how 17 goes.

[00:32:56] May I bring you a very relevant donation? how 17 goes.

[00:32:57] May I bring you a very relevant donation? Yes!

[00:33:00] We got $15 from Kevin

[00:33:02] of Computer, who says,

[00:33:03] I'm a sucker for an underdog story,

[00:33:05] so go JPEG! Get the the wrong hole not the right one thank you

[00:33:11] kevin hit time by the way i'm sorry yes

[00:33:17] don't look, guys.

[00:33:23] Oh, oh please. Aww very close

[00:33:27] Now we are going for that bar cannon. That is the same cannon as we used for the very first hole making a trap for the 70 crown.

[00:33:36] I've never actually done that before.

[00:33:39] Oh, that has in fact never happened before.

[00:33:45] Now as we're coming up on time...

[00:33:48] What's going on as we come up on time for our final runner i want to make sure

[00:33:54] we shout out the final sponsor of the first inaugural wrong hole open and that is steve

[00:34:03] just steve

[00:34:06] steve

[00:34:12] thank you okay barely got it oh Oh beautiful work. One more! Alright this is the final hole

[00:34:14] for JPEG. Nope.

[00:34:18] Oh? Nope.

[00:34:20] So close. This one you just gotta gently Nope. Oh, so close!

[00:34:27] This one you just gotta gently kiss it which I'm still not doing.

[00:34:29] Too much lip. That's too much lip? Did you just say that?!

[00:34:32] Wait wait wait, wait.

[00:34:33] Time!

[00:34:35] We need to get off stage.

[00:34:41] Oh my gosh did y'all like the outfit?

[00:34:44] Was that something you didn't like?

[00:34:48] Oh my goodness. And congratulations to both of you on

[00:34:52] beating not only

[00:34:54] my practice room PB,

[00:34:57] but anything we've done in this

[00:34:59] game so far.

[00:35:01] Thank you!

[00:35:03] Some huge PDs from our golfers.

[00:35:06] Okay, do you want to do shoutouts first?

[00:35:09] Sure, yeah. I wanna thank Quintin my caddy on the couch back there.

[00:41:41] Cause we have $10 from Kurt Nubbins who says,

[00:41:45] I fell asleep and woke up to everyone saying wee.

[00:41:49] So, Wee! and woke up to everyone saying, we. So...

[00:41:52] Thank you for jumping on board the train.

[00:41:55] It's really fun.

[00:42:36] was said in that last run an absolutely entirely accurate count, asterisk.

[00:42:45] Thank you, Jeffrey Lindsay.

[00:42:53] Here's $15 from Kona Rican who says, looks like there is still some Zoombini incentive

[00:43:00] to go.

[00:43:01] So could I ask the audience to help cheer on Twitch chat with a Zoombini Cheer?

[00:43:06] Hip hip, ZOOMBINI!

[00:43:09] Hip hip, ZOOOMBIIIINIII!

[00:43:12] Hip hip, ZOOMBINI! HIP-HIP ZOOMBINIIIII! Thank you.

[00:43:18] Zoombini is supposed to be my childhood game, thank you everyone so much.

[00:43:23] Weeeeee!

[00:43:33] That does also bring to mind that

[00:43:35] is true. Zoomvenius does have an incentive left.

[00:43:38] We are over 70% of the

[00:43:40] way there. We have raised over

[00:43:41] $1,300 for full

[00:43:43] randomized those Zumbinis.

[00:43:45] I want to see some Zumbini diversity out here.

[00:43:48] Brand-mize those!

[00:43:59] Okay... Okay.

[00:44:05] I have a callback for everyone, and this might take a moment so I'm going to need everyone to bear with me because we have $250 here from, woo indeed!

[00:44:13] Or are we? Either one. From Cloudy Shoe who says,

[00:44:18] To the tune of the 2012 Song of the Summer, Call Me Maybe. Let's try it out for some silly gaming.

[00:44:31] Hey, I just found this and it's amazing!

[00:44:35] The perfect thing for some silly gaming

[00:44:39] It's hard to look right

[00:44:41] At this weird screen

[00:44:43] Let's play it real fast

[00:44:45] And raise some money

[00:44:47] And all the other games

[00:44:49] Try to impress me But what I'm here for is silly gaming.

[00:44:56] Thank you.

[00:45:27] Y'all, I'm having so much fun. I've got $25 here from Zillia, who just says meow. thank you here's $10 from Colorado Blue who says, I almost forgot about GDQ but so glad I could

[00:45:42] watch one of the best openers to the silly block

[00:45:44] I've ever seen.

[00:45:47] Don't worry, Colorado Blue

[00:45:50] We have plenty more silliness coming up next on the schedule

[00:45:54] You haven't missed anything we're all ready to get even sillier because here comes the party that's Monster Party! Let's hear it for retro runner

[00:46:35] what up gdq i'm the restaurantro Runner's Peter from Retrovideo Games.

[00:46:38] You getting silly or what?!

[00:46:40] Yeah! That's what I'm talking about.

[00:46:43] I am going to introduce you to a Halloween-infused fever dream of an NES game called Monster Party.

[00:46:49] This game is very near and dear to my heart, lots of nostalgia

[00:46:52] teeming with charm and just like bizarre dialogue

[00:46:55] and bosses. You play as Mark a little boy

[00:46:58] who gets visited by a gargoyle

[00:47:00] named Bertz. Yeah that's his actual

[00:47:02] name. Who beckons

[00:47:04] Mark to help him save his home world

[00:47:06] from an invasion of monsters

[00:47:08] and Mark very reasonably is like listen I'm just a little boy and

[00:47:12] i have no weapons. And Bert's like ah I see you got baseball bat there that's probably

[00:47:17] fine. I am not even making this up, I am not exaggerating. This is the actual game.

[00:47:21] As Mark, you can jump

[00:47:23] You can hit things with your bat

[00:47:25] You can hold the B button

[00:47:27] which will extend Mark's bat and continuously

[00:47:29] do damage. If you press down during a jump,

[00:47:31] he will jut down and Mark can even do the worm which is

[00:47:34] tech we'll showcase in this run. Really quick there are

[00:47:37] three items that you can get. You can get health,

[00:47:39] you can get a pill which for a time turns you into Bert who can fly and shoot

[00:47:44] projectiles. And you can get a question mark which can either be points, health, a pill

[00:47:50] or nothing at all. But without further ado, I'm just going to let

[00:47:53] this game be the bizarre

[00:47:55] game that it is.

[00:47:58] Countdown

[00:47:58] 3, 2,

[00:48:01] 1, go!

[00:48:06] Applause two one go all right so there's not like that much honestly to the gameplay of this game it's

[00:48:10] all about going in these doors and uh fighting these bosses There are eight rounds,

[00:48:15] and each round has

[00:48:17] requisite bosses that you have to defeat

[00:48:19] before the game lets you proceed

[00:48:21] to the next round.

[00:48:23] Real quick, give it up for this guy who's stuck in the ground

[00:48:25] trying to get out. Look, look at those legs! Come on, come on.

[00:48:29] Um coming up we have one of my favorite bosses in video game history uh i don't know if you see it's

[00:48:37] actually on my shirt um he has a lot to say sorry I'm dead don't beat yourself up.

[00:48:53] Okay, you pass this totally not a cactaur.

[00:48:57] The stage completely changes.

[00:48:59] There's something just in this round we call ledge boosting.

[00:49:02] Basically, we route the rat around Mark walking off of as many

[00:49:08] ledges as possible. It actually boosts him one pixel to

[00:49:12] the right. Please don't pick on me, and

[00:49:16] then he attacks us.

[00:49:23] That was actually a decent fight.

[00:49:26] It's pretty good Try to get to the next round here. Do you have time for a really quick donation?

[00:49:54] Um, sure.

[00:49:55] Here's $50 from Anonymous who says,

[00:49:58] Sorry! I'm dead.

[00:50:00] Sorry, I'm dead. Sorry, I'm Shred.

[00:50:01] You'll give it up for Reverse

[00:50:03] Mermaids! Come on! Look at these

[00:50:05] enemies! So good!

[00:50:09] Originally there's a prototype of this game that never came out.

[00:50:13] Because originally all these bosses were like Universal Studio Monsters and Hollywood movie IPs

[00:50:21] That one was supposed to be Medusa.

[00:50:27] You can use a couple

[00:50:29] of these like, I guess we'll call

[00:50:31] them sewage pipes, to warp to different parts of the stage

[00:50:35] and we're also using something called bat boosting we just turn around at

[00:50:39] the last minute after we've gotten enemy uh here we we have the Tempura Boss Rush.

[00:50:45] I hope you got Tempura Shrimp.

[00:50:51] Here,

[00:50:52] we have...

[00:50:52] I think that this is a squid ring.

[00:50:55] I would call it a galamon. Some people think its an onion ring. You can say whether you're

[00:50:59] team onion ring or team squid ring in chat.

[00:51:03] music It's tough.

[00:51:15] A little bit of the worm there, you'll see that again later though you gotta really showcase how awesome that animation is Okay, so this boss is like a reference to the ring.

[00:51:36] Like a Ringu sort of deal.

[00:51:40] You don't want to take too much

[00:51:42] damage there because then you get

[00:51:43] risk of death but we're pretty

[00:51:46] good on health right now more bat boosting I'll just

[00:51:56] get past the other.

[00:51:59] Some health...

[00:52:03] Probably not kill that.

[00:52:07] ... Okay, that like all the enemies in this game have static item drops.

[00:52:27] But this is kind of balanced by enemy spawns being affected by items that you get.

[00:52:34] Certain enemies won't spawn if you obtain certain items or kill certain enemies.

[00:52:40] So what we're going to do is there's a...

[00:52:41] This is supposed to be a vampire

[00:52:43] We are gonna kill this vampire and that will cause

[00:52:45] this vampire to spawn and drop some

[00:52:47] health. Health is good for marathons

[00:52:52] Move it! We can even get that health again. I'll go ahead and do that.

[00:53:09] Okay, so I don't know how to describe this or why this happens.

[00:53:15] Normally there are these stalactites that fall on you but if you mimic my movement there

[00:53:21] they can fall as soon as you scroll the screen.

[00:53:24] We have a mummy here, sometimes he wants hugs! Sometimes he wants hugs

[00:53:28] we don't want hugs though, we don't want to die

[00:53:32] Yeah stay over there. Good.

[00:53:35] Oh wow! Okay this is great. Like I said

[00:53:39] Bert...when you get the pill

[00:53:43] You're only Bert for a limited time.

[00:53:45] So in a lot of areas,

[00:53:46] you want to extend your Burt form

[00:53:48] and the only way to do that is by getting pills

[00:53:52] And question marks can be hearts or pills

[00:53:56] like nothing, or points. So there's a bit of a gamble there

[00:54:00] with getting a question mark and hoping that you get a pill

[00:54:04] It actually saves six seconds from transforming back into Mark

[00:54:09] And then back in the bird as well.

[00:54:11] So this is pretty good RNG so far.

[00:54:16] That was a good fight.

[00:54:18] More health, and that's round 3!

[00:54:23] And now for the final battle of the day Alright, heading into round four. This is like an Egyptian themed

[00:54:32] round for some reason. We're gonna kill this snake

[00:54:36] not get the health, NOT kill the snake and then normally there'd be a scorpion

[00:54:42] that would spawn right here and we just made him despawned spawned

[00:54:57] and you can see that transformation phase like waste time we want to avoid that when we can all right cool we got that hit i'll take the health

[00:55:01] uh this is actually probably one of the more quote unquote technical kills in the game

[00:55:06] i am a slowpoke. Here we go.

[00:55:19] That's the idea, You want to follow him and

[00:55:21] jet down with your bat.

[00:55:28] Might I bother you for a quick donation?

[00:55:30] Absolutely.

[00:55:31] Here's $500...

[00:55:35] Let's go!

[00:55:37] ...from Julie Kat, who says...

[00:55:40] Cats, cats, mass hysteria.

[00:55:44] Good luck, TRR.

[00:55:46] Thanks so much, Julie.

[00:55:47] And I think I speak for all the first nights of the retroredders when I say,

[00:55:53] sorry,

[00:55:54] I'm dead.

[00:55:54] Yes,

[00:55:55] Julie.

[00:55:56] Thank you so much.

[00:55:58] Thank you for the generous donation.

[00:56:00] Okay,

[00:56:02] that's a pretty tough hit to get.

[00:56:04] Um, just a little bit more insurance with health we're gonna kill the snake not get the

[00:56:07] health or whatever item they drop i've never played this game before

[00:56:11] um which despawns the scorpion that's normally there

[00:56:14] kill this snake we're looking for a pill here transforming into birch

[00:56:23] some health Some health.

[00:56:27] Another amazing boss

[00:56:29] coming up. He's gonna try to

[00:56:31] outshred us. He can't, though.

[00:56:33] You can't outshread me.

[00:56:35] Don't even try try as you might you'll never try okay okay

[00:57:12] some more health for insurance, and we'll actually pick up a pill here to stay in Burt form. and that's round four. Making our way.

[00:57:16] I'll try this.

[00:57:18] I probably won't get it because it's frame perfect but if you enter a door on the same

[00:57:23] frame that you would transform...

[00:57:25] Yeah look at these sharks with the oversized fins like...

[00:57:32] Love this game uh we're gonna try to train uh circumvent the uh the transformation phase here i didn't get it.

[00:57:40] Oh, I did get it! I did it. It's frame perfect.

[00:57:44] These zombies beckon you to

[00:57:46] watch them dance. You can't

[00:57:47] hit them at all or they'll start all over.

[00:57:50] So nothing left to do but the worm.

[00:57:53] Let's get some donations going.

[00:57:55] Oh, I have a perfect donation for while they're dancing.

[00:57:58] Here is $50 from Not Bobby Boris Pickett, who says...

[00:58:02] I was watching GDQ late one night when my eyes beheld a silly sight.

[00:58:08] For Monster Party from its cartridge began to rise,

[00:58:12] And suddenly, to my surprise he did the smash!

[00:58:16] He did the monster smash, the monster smash.

[00:58:19] He beat up plants with a bat, he did the smash.

[00:58:22] He walked off ledges to dash, he did the smash.

[00:58:25] He did the monster smash!

[00:58:27] Amazing. I should have gotten that person on my couch.

[00:58:37] They're more clever than I am.

[00:58:41] We can continue some more donations if you got them.

[00:58:44] Oh, you know I do! We have $30 from Untoasted Toast who says sorry,

[00:58:50] I'm bread.

[00:58:54] I love it. Also,

[00:58:56] $10 from Lemon Carrots who says

[00:58:59] oh no!

[00:59:00] I love Monster Party.

[00:59:06] Do party. Do you have time for any more?

[00:59:08] Yeah, yeah, a couple more. Sure!

[00:59:10] Here's $10 from

[00:59:11] Shuma G who says,

[00:59:13] I went to a dog show the other day. A Yorkie took

[00:59:16] best in show, a Jack Russell

[00:59:18] took second and a Scotty took

[00:59:20] third. I'm starting to think

[00:59:22] that judges had some sort of all-terrier

[00:59:24] motive.

[00:59:27] It was very involved!

[00:59:30] Alright, just real quick.

[00:59:31] Pants!

[00:59:32] That's all I gotta say.

[00:59:33] Pants!

[00:59:35] I agree.

[00:59:37] This is sort of a maze level,

[00:59:39] which could be kind of confusing.

[00:59:42] But actually the

[00:59:43] size of this level is not that large.

[00:59:46] I was able to figure it out as a kid so uh you know if

[00:59:50] you feel like wasting some time you probably could power through it or

[00:59:54] you can just follow the exact route that i'm taking

[00:59:57] here there's only one

[00:59:59] boss in this round,

[01:00:00] and here it is.

[01:00:03] Which one? It's always the bottom right

[01:00:05] one.

[01:00:07] Wow, we're getting some sick RNG right now.

[01:00:10] That's probably one of the best patterns you get from a boss.

[01:00:16] Okay so the next round is just like purely a vertical climb. So doing that as Mark

[01:00:23] is not only time-consuming but pretty difficult. We're going to get a pill

[01:00:29] to stay in vert form

[01:00:34] one more time with me pants And...

[01:00:45] That's round six!

[01:00:49] Okay, so Burt's

[01:00:54] flight speed is purely dependent on how fast you can match the A

[01:00:58] button. One of two bosses coming up.

[01:01:03] This is a quick kill we recently came up with.

[01:01:06] Yes, very good, very good!

[01:01:11] Get that pill to stay in vert form...

[01:01:13] Mesh-a-Fanish.

[01:01:19] It's a shame it's a really good track, but it starts after after every screen transition it's really dumb

[01:01:26] do you have time for a couple quick donations yes yes i actually do because people are getting

[01:01:30] so creative i have five dollars from the Michelin Man who says,

[01:01:34] Sorry, I'm Tread.

[01:01:37] We have $50 from a level 500 boss

[01:01:40] who says,

[01:01:41] Sorry, I'm Squid.

[01:01:47] And $5 from Fred sorry i'm squid and five dollars from fred who says sorry i'm fred uh how'd i know that was coming

[01:01:52] thank you everyone so much for introducing yourselves and apologizing.

[01:02:01] Alright, only two bosses in this stage. Pretty short one.

[01:02:09] Only one more stage to go that was round seven

[01:02:18] all right this is one of the more brutal RNG-dependent bosses in the game.

[01:02:29] Okay not bad, not bad. He can actually just like fly around and completely waste your time And you'll turn back into Mark

[01:02:31] And be all angry that you had to reset the game

[01:02:33] And question your decisions about being an adult

[01:02:36] Playing a 30plus year old game

[01:02:38] that no one really knows about.

[01:02:44] It's pretty cool boss kill, you just run right up to him

[01:02:47] You press down.

[01:02:49] That'll work like every time pretty much.

[01:02:56] So there are these

[01:02:57] firecrackers that fly at you. Just fly towards the top of the screen, and when they get close,

[01:03:04] fly to the absolute top of the screen, and for some reason they explode. It makes this really easy

[01:03:10] Another really cool boss coming up, look at him skating around on his severed head

[01:03:17] so cool looking looking.

[01:03:23] Yeah, it's okay you can clap don't be shy

[01:03:29] So we have the key. There's only one boss left.

[01:03:33] You can only damage this boss when he opens his nose flap,

[01:03:38] and that can take about seven seconds or it could it can

[01:03:42] take well over a half a minute so it's a complete r d slot machine we're

[01:03:47] just gonna have fun and see what we get here The nose, nose. Come on, let's get a good one.

[01:04:10] Time! Uh... Just out of curiosity, oh wow that's a really good time.

[01:04:19] That's a really good time especially for a marathon.

[01:04:22] If you'll permit me just humor me Let me narrate this ending because it's

[01:04:25] as humorous and bizarre as the rest of

[01:04:27] the game. Mark destroyed the monsters

[01:04:29] Bert gave him a gift

[01:04:31] Mark went home

[01:04:33] He excitedly opened the box what's in the box this is the box

[01:04:39] a beautiful princess came out or

[01:04:45] this is like one of my favorite sprites on the NES.

[01:04:47] Look at this face melting!

[01:04:51] Look at it!

[01:04:53] Look at it!

[01:04:54] Huge fan of the super awkward dialogue.

[01:04:57] Mark was scared and screamed,

[01:04:59] ahhh!

[01:05:03] It was all a dream.

[01:05:05] I used to read Word Up magazine magazine mark was awakened by his mom

[01:05:15] and then mark opens the door.

[01:05:18] Bert was there, he whispered to Mark

[01:05:21] Let's go again!

[01:05:24] Let's not. Thank you so much for allowing me

[01:05:27] to showcase one of my favorite games on the NES.

[01:05:29] Real quick, let me just give some shoutouts first and foremost

[01:05:33] to my awesome wife who supports every little thing that I do

[01:05:37] but also to uh the the monster party community not an enormous community as you might

[01:05:43] imagine uh but some key folks in there joey mittens burst error drixus um and my my own community uh whom without i

[01:05:53] would not be able to be here so let's keep it silly for the rest of

[01:05:58] the night and I'll see you on the flip. Keep on shredding games!

[01:06:07] Alright, let's hear it one more time for the retro runner and that retro wonder.

[01:06:16] Indeed.

[01:06:19] Real quick, I just want to get in a few more.

[01:06:22] A FEW MORE! There's so many creative ones.

[01:06:24] Here's $10 from Rosebud who says

[01:06:26] Sorry...I'm Sled

[01:06:30] Spoilers, I guess!

[01:06:33] Also my personal favorite $10 from this

[01:06:37] donation who says sorry I'm red

[01:06:41] Thank you everyone so much for the creative donations.

[01:06:45] We are going to take a quick, quick break but don't stop the silly

[01:06:50] it'll be back real soon so so. oh my god I'm not sure what the tinfoil hats are going to protect us from, but would a tinfoil top

[01:08:03] hat help me?

[01:08:05] Just asking for a friend.

[01:08:08] Definitely not me. Don't worry about it. so ¶¶.

[01:08:42] . so ¶¶. so so ¶¶ so Welcome back everyone. We are here at Summer Games Done Quick 2024 having some silly morning vibes.

[01:10:22] I am Pippi in a top hat and everyone around me is wearing tinfoil hats

[01:10:27] that I feel underdressed.

[01:10:32] We have coming up next, birds aren't real the game.

[01:10:38] Woo indeed! real the game. Woo!

[01:10:38] Indeed, they're not

[01:10:51] So, oh hey!

[01:10:52] Here is $50 from Jonathan who says

[01:10:55] Ah, Silly Block my beloved

[01:10:58] I can feel your energy audience

[01:11:00] cause mayhem and

[01:11:02] be ungovernable for the

[01:11:04] sake of charity.

[01:11:06] Whee!

[01:11:12] We shall do our best we shall do

[01:11:39] it's a science joke.

[01:11:42] Yay!

[01:11:46] We also have maybe a bit of

[01:11:48] a reprise from the musical

[01:11:50] section. Here's $25 from MVH who says,

[01:11:55] Silly games are made for speed

[01:11:59] Who am I to not say we

[01:12:02] Travel the worlds for good RNG.

[01:12:06] Every runner wants a PB.

[01:13:12] here from Anonymous

[01:13:14] who says $67

[01:13:16] in honor of chat quop.

[01:13:19] If you can make it to 6.7 meters,

[01:13:22] You can make it to 67 meters!

[01:13:25] I believe in you and as i said that the

[01:13:27] Quap man fell down.

[01:13:38] Oh y'all, I just keep finding more of them y'all are so clever

[01:13:39] here's five dollars from cthulhu who says sorry i'm dread

[01:13:46] that's really cute Cute!

[01:14:04] Alright, I hope we've had some fun with our introductions because it's time to introduce an important concept.

[01:14:06] Birds are not real, the game, the speed run, the game, the segment.

[01:14:10] Here we go take it away y'all!

[01:14:18] Hello everybody welcome to Birds Aren't Real.

[01:14:23] The real life conspiracy that we're here to chat about

[01:14:27] I am excited to show this little game off to everybody. Joining me today is

[01:14:31] Crack Silver who's hiding her identity.

[01:14:32] Hello my name is Deep Chirp I'm coming to you from an undisclosed location live

[01:14:37] for Minneapolis

[01:14:38] You are being lied too. And I am bystander Tim.

[01:14:46] Alrighty, I'm going to count us down if you want to join me we're gonna do it in three two one go! Three, two, one. Go!

[01:14:55] So right as we get started

[01:14:57] I was given this

[01:14:59] conspiracy board about 20 minutes

[01:15:01] before the run started

[01:15:03] I have been assured that it is exclusively about the entirely true

[01:15:06] conspiracy that birds are not real. I will be indicating things throughout

[01:15:10] The Run that are definitely about birds."

[01:15:20] I concur. So here we're just doing a little tutorial to get through and get our gear back together, we are a little beat up right now.

[01:15:27] And so as we do, we can fly and have a propeller

[01:15:31] and we need to place some tracking chips on people

[01:15:35] So let's... All right, now that the chip

[01:15:42] is properly implanted

[01:15:43] on that theorist,

[01:15:44] we are going to

[01:15:46] take a picture and identify them at surveillance drones this is what

[01:15:50] we do the government maintains a database of everyone who has ever

[01:15:55] suspected the truth about birds they keep a list here as you can see

[01:16:04] is that velocity on there

[01:16:09] i can't see out of this mask, so I'm assuming yes.

[01:16:13] Alright,

[01:16:15] what we're doing here is just popping some balloons, taking down

[01:16:17] streamers...just, you you know doing fun things.

[01:16:20] The true enemy of big nature, paper products.

[01:16:23] So true.

[01:16:29] And you'll enjoy the smooth jazz for the entirety of this run.

[01:16:32] Big Nature has only afforded us one music track.

[01:16:36] I hear this muzak when I sleep. i sleep

[01:16:47] oh there yeah that's the sheet music right there for this one music track it's not where i pointed

[01:16:55] all right so now we're just going to be dealing with the most rng segment of

[01:16:58] this run which is just dropping some stuff on the heads of

[01:17:01] pedestrians we need to

[01:17:03] stun them all with different items

[01:17:04] You will notice that

[01:17:11] the bird drone is picking up various forms of soda products for this segment

[01:17:16] shout outs to everyone who has been mainlining caffeine in order to see silly block

[01:17:21] you all are so real and by drinking way too much caffeine

[01:17:29] you're able to see the truth as we're seeing here now

[01:17:36] is that just a sugar-free red bull label

[01:17:43] oh that one didn't work.

[01:17:45] It's okay. Fortunately birds are very

[01:17:49] inefficient spies.

[01:17:53] Well the most important part about S- espionage is actively hitting people with objects.

[01:18:02] As you can see, the people are too angry to see that there's a bird in front of them. There we go

[01:18:10] and so now we're going to

[01:18:14] grab the spray can here, and we were going to do some defacing of some science.

[01:18:20] Because as everyone knows, in the real world there are many large billboards

[01:18:25] in major cities talking about how birds are fake.

[01:18:31] This has the best prompt of hold X to vandalize.

[01:18:41] Well, we're vandalize well we're vandalizing do you have time for some quick donations oh we sure do go for it i've got 25 dollars for you from definitely a bird. They say beep boop. That's real bird talk right there. Yeah, yeah, I believe them.

[01:18:54] Do you have time for one more? Of course.

[01:18:56] Here is $5 from Satanaten herself, who says,

[01:18:59] Allison is absolutely flying through this game.

[01:19:02] She's clearly at the top of a pecking order.

[01:19:05] She's clearly the nest at this game.

[01:19:08] Whether she is a bird or not however is debated even more love from the back couch

[01:19:17] but how can there be an avian hierarchy if birds aren't real?

[01:19:20] Thoughts, thoughts.

[01:19:24] So now we're just taking down some posters.

[01:19:25] We're just doing lots of flying around,

[01:19:27] lots of little tasks which will be used again later.

[01:19:35] Allison, can you perhaps explain why we're all wearing tinfoil hats right now? Well they can't know the truth. Of course if they see our brains they might

[01:19:41] know.

[01:19:44] Or we're still sponsored by the concept of jazz.

[01:19:51] That sponsorship deal is in perpetuity, right?

[01:19:53] How else do we have the platform?

[01:19:57] Alright so here we're doing pretty much the only glitch in the run.

[01:20:01] We are getting them to actually attack us, so we can

[01:20:03] actually hit the same person twice to use their tablet because we need to spy

[01:20:08] on them via other tablets of course. You will also notice this mirrors real life because birds are drones and therefore they cannot be killed by what I'm assuming are snowballs?

[01:20:19] Or, are people throwing their hands at the birds?

[01:20:24] You know...I don't know. I'm guessing they're rocks.

[01:20:28] I was going to say something like real truthers leave their phone unlocked but throwing hands works too.

[01:20:39] All right, so this is the final thing

[01:20:40] before the finale segment.

[01:20:42] We're going to poop on conspiracy theorists

[01:20:44] and register them because... Take a look you at home you might be next

[01:20:51] i am sure if i was not on a list before this run i am definitely on one now

[01:20:57] once again quacks over everybody, hiding her

[01:20:59] identity.

[01:21:05] Yeah, this game is

[01:21:05] a really small game made by a small team.

[01:21:09] And it was a student project.

[01:21:13] Do you have time for one more quick demo?

[01:21:15] We sure do!

[01:21:16] Here's $5 from TFT who says hey alien couch can you let me

[01:21:21] know if there are any other animals that aren't real

[01:21:24] other than birds i should be on the lookout for good luck on the run

[01:21:28] watch out for honey badgers.

[01:21:29] Ohhhh... I personally am

[01:21:33] suspicious of horses, they're real, I'm just suspicious.

[01:21:44] Alright, so now we're just causing ultimate chaos. We're

[01:21:45] just doing all the things

[01:21:46] you've done already to

[01:21:49] everybody just to ruin this mayor because to everybody.

[01:21:53] Just to ruin this mayor, because they're the ones who are against us? I guess there was plot

[01:21:55] or something wasn't there?

[01:21:57] Yeah, the actual plot of this game is that

[01:21:59] it's not just the fight against big nature,

[01:22:01] there's a specific mayor who's leading a conspiracy campaign.

[01:22:06] And now that's time... please

[01:22:21] but yeah that's Birds Aren't Real.

[01:22:23] I'm glad to have informed you all about the truth.

[01:22:27] Tell your friends! We have nothing left to teach you.

[01:22:31] Aside from that, I stream all kinds of variety of video games, do speed runs and stuff over

[01:22:36] on my Twitch.

[01:22:37] And then y'all have any shout-outs?

[01:22:40] Thanks so much to the Alan Wake crew for letting us use their conspiracy stuff for another

[01:22:45] conspiracy.

[01:22:50] I guess shout outs

[01:22:52] to the rest of Silly Block.

[01:22:54] You'll see me in a couple hours doing City Bus Driver Simulator,

[01:22:57] but keep watching, keep supporting the marathon.

[01:23:03] And that will be all from us. Let's hear it one more time for the conspiracy theorists and birds aren't real.

[01:23:22] They're really brave to be here to say the truth.

[01:23:29] I have one $25 donation here for you from Bjorto

[01:23:33] who says, expose the lies of big nature.

[01:23:38] Expose those lies and while we consider

[01:23:41] the lives that have been told

[01:23:43] and recontextualize our entire lives

[01:23:46] in accordance with the truth truth that birds are not real.

[01:23:50] We're going to take a quick break.

[01:23:53] We'll be right back, y'all.

[01:23:54] We'll be right back. so so so so ¶¶ so so so so so so so so so so so so so All right, everyone.

[01:27:14] Before we jump back into the speedrunning action,

[01:27:18] here is a quick word from some of the fine people that helped make GDQ and its charity efforts possible.

[01:27:25] So please stick with us.

[01:27:30] You're entering the Doritos dimension. Zoom in to the zesty taste of nacho cheese, feel

[01:27:36] the electric bolt of bold cheesy flavors and explore every mind-blowing angle. Try another angle with Doritos Nacho Cheese. And welcome back. I hope you're enjoying Summer Games Done Quick 2024 Silly Block Time.

[01:28:11] Ooh, it's been fun.

[01:28:19] I'm still Pippi in a Top Hat I didn't change names

[01:28:21] though

[01:28:23] I have received an interesting suggestion.

[01:28:25] Here's $5 from August who says,

[01:28:27] Dear announcer if you had one of the aluminum foil garments

[01:28:31] the runners were wearing

[01:28:33] You'd have to change your name to pippi in a tin hat

[01:28:38] so i've been considering it that donation's been sitting there this

[01:28:42] entire break

[01:28:45] also I said I would stop.

[01:28:47] I'm not going to stop.

[01:28:49] I think you figured it out by now.

[01:28:51] We have $5 from hashtag FF0000 who says, sorry I'm red.

[01:29:01] I'd love to say I'm sorry

[01:29:05] but I'm really not

[01:29:16] oh y'all. The energy's great.

[01:29:23] Alright.

[01:29:24] I heard some hype and

[01:29:26] I think that is the type of

[01:29:28] energy we need for...

[01:29:29] Arzett, The Jewel of Faramore which is coming up right now!

[01:29:35] Dynomation is going to show us something.

[01:29:40] Please go for it! is going to show us something I'm very scared.

[01:29:55] Please go for it! very serious very serious

[01:29:59] spin off of a

[01:29:59] very

[01:30:00] if you haven't heard of it Very serious spin-off of a very...

[01:30:01] If you haven't heard of it, Wand of Gamelon.

[01:30:05] I'm the animation room player Arzet Julofermor on casual difficulty which is going to make enemies easier and give us heart drops It's gonna make the enemies easier it's gonna give us

[01:30:11] heart drops it's gonna make the run go much faster on my couch we have hi I'm

[01:30:17] Brian Hall V, I was a day three runner of this game

[01:30:19] and I'm Oscar424. I'm also a runner of this game and then we have uh yeah so

[01:30:27] I'm not here I'm a you're right here well virtually yeah so uh hi I'm You're like, hey what are you talking about? Well, virtually.

[01:30:33] Yeah so hi I'm Seth Fulkerson

[01:30:35] better known as Dopley and

[01:30:37] the creator of this very game

[01:30:46] Shout out to Dino for inviting me, thank you! I'm really excited

[01:30:50] to see the current world record holder play. As of two weeks ago.

[01:30:55] So we have a lot to talk about, but I think we're just going to get started because we start with four minutes of cutscenes

[01:31:00] which you all unlocked! Thank you so much.

[01:31:04] Yes thank you so much. That's amazing.

[01:31:06] And we'll start here when I hit go. Audience can I get a countdown in five?

[01:31:11] Four, three, two, 1... Go!

[01:31:20] So like I said this is a spin-off of the CDi games.

[01:31:24] So Doppley, why?

[01:31:29] What makes you wake up in the morning and say,

[01:31:31] no we need more CDI games?

[01:31:33] Not disagreeing!

[01:31:35] Yeah so in the process of making

[01:31:37] the fan made Zelda

[01:31:39] CD-i remasters

[01:31:40] which this is a spiritual successor to

[01:31:43] I learned the story behind those

[01:31:45] games' development

[01:31:46] I saw a lot of unrealized

[01:31:48] potential in the concept, as well

[01:31:50] as just kind of like early 90s CD-ROM

[01:31:52] games in general.

[01:31:54] But yeah, making my own spin on Zelda

[01:31:56] CDI but good alongside my friends, many of whom are professional artists, seemed like a fun idea.

[01:32:03] And you know what? It was. I think that's probably the best answer for why other than I might be a little crazy.

[01:32:09] Art Reel. So here

[01:32:13] in the actual cutscene we get an introduction to all of the bosses, lot of variety there

[01:32:17] Can you talk about little bit about where this

[01:32:20] variety came from? Because we have

[01:32:21] a horse, a scarecrow, dragon

[01:32:24] cat lady

[01:32:25] Yeah so um Yeah, so let's see here. Wow! What can I say? Everybody...

[01:32:40] So yeah, I came up with most of the characters

[01:32:42] with input from others.

[01:32:45] And I gave the character design sort of to like

[01:32:48] my character designers

[01:32:50] and let them have free reign to give them life personality uh yeah

[01:32:56] and they just sort of they took my silly ideas like you know know, what if a

[01:33:03] cat lady was a cat burglar

[01:33:04] and sort of just made it...

[01:33:06] I just realized

[01:33:09] that. Oh, that's great.

[01:33:11] Right.

[01:33:13] Alright, we're going to Oh, that's great. Right. All right.

[01:33:14] We're going to go into the game, what's going on,

[01:33:16] and what our quest is gonna be.

[01:33:19] Here we got Arzett...

[01:33:22] ...and Dale.

[01:33:23] Those are the only names I remember here.

[01:33:26] And then that other one in the background?

[01:33:28] The other one,

[01:33:29] and then the king.

[01:33:30] Oh well!

[01:33:31] What can we do?

[01:33:32] Tell us about...

[01:33:33] Tell us how you came up with the names of these characters

[01:33:34] because some of them are pretty close to

[01:33:37] other names that we know I think.

[01:33:41] Uh, I mean really just names

[01:33:44] or something that

[01:33:45] I'm good at but also my wife is good at.

[01:33:48] She helped me name a lot of the characters in the game.

[01:33:51] I mean yeah some of them are

[01:33:54] anagrams I guess but modified character archetypes that are

[01:33:59] very familiar but yeah for the most part I just Dale is a direct reference to the director of the original Zelda CD-i games who unfortunately passed away several years ago so it's a little bit of my

[01:34:16] tribute to him,

[01:34:18] I guess you could say.

[01:34:19] Get back before dinner!

[01:34:22] Too late for that, unfortunately.

[01:34:24] We've got a nice

[01:34:24] little bit of dialogue here

[01:34:25] you're going to hear

[01:34:26] for like two seconds as we skip the tutorial.

[01:34:31] That haunts my dreams.

[01:34:33] So that dialog had a pretty interesting voice actor, didn't it?

[01:34:41] Yeah. That was Jeffrey Rath

[01:34:43] the original voice of Link from the Zelda CD-i games

[01:34:47] I was able to get him I was able to get bonnie jean wilbur the original voice of zelda

[01:34:52] heard in the prologue they both play npcs in that game too yeah we don't see any of them so

[01:34:57] that's why that's a dialogue from those two

[01:35:00] that you're gonna get tonight unfortunately.

[01:35:02] Alright.

[01:35:05] So, we are just making our way through here.

[01:35:07] You can see pretty quickly

[01:35:08] the basic tech we have if you play this game.

[01:35:12] Whenever you swing your sword, Arzet is not gonna want to move

[01:35:15] so we are always going to try and swing our sword while jumping

[01:35:18] We made that jump good, almost dead here

[01:35:20] And a lot of RNG in this game with...

[01:35:22] Case and point!

[01:35:23] With heart drops.

[01:35:24] Ideally we're not at half a heart at this point.

[01:35:29] So we are going to try to get heart drops

[01:35:30] keep our health up.

[01:35:31] I'm gonna be jumping as we do it.

[01:35:34] Hippie! Can you give us a donation real quick?

[01:35:37] Of course I can!

[01:35:39] Here's $25 from 3pup, who says staying up way past my bedtime to watch the game that got me into speedrunning.

[01:35:47] Let's go Dino! Sending love from the back couch.

[01:35:57] We took a little back door there

[01:35:59] so you left the back door to this area

[01:36:01] which lets us get

[01:36:04] some sword beam really early and actually skips

[01:36:06] a lot of backtracking later on.

[01:36:08] This gives us red magic, which will let

[01:36:11] us pass some things later.

[01:36:17] And the sword beam, which is going to be very useful. Yeah a very interesting thing about the sword beam

[01:36:19] you can hit things with

[01:36:21] the beam itself but

[01:36:23] the sword also has its own hitbox and when activating the sword itself also has its own hitbox,

[01:36:24] and when you're activating the sword beam

[01:36:26] and you hit something with a sword it'll do triple damage to pretty much anything.

[01:36:28] So that's going to be integral to most boss strats

[01:36:30] especially ones where we don't have spare bomb pickups.

[01:36:33] Yes. That's called... well there is not an official name for it I call it sword critting

[01:36:39] That seems to be the unofficial name at this point

[01:36:43] And we're going to see that used next level

[01:36:46] We'll use it a few times.

[01:36:48] Yeah, definitely.

[01:36:48] You'll see the health bars melt.

[01:36:51] Yeah, you don't even see the health bar.

[01:36:52] They're just dead.

[01:36:53] All right, here we let our first team in.

[01:36:55] We got five to go or four to go

[01:36:59] yeah so sword critting was a mechanic that we sort of identified pretty early

[01:37:02] on as you know being a bug but it felt so

[01:37:05] good to pull off i just sort sort of left it in the game.

[01:37:08] I think I speak for all three of us, we're saying thank you!

[01:37:14] It's very difficult and I think it is like frame perfect almost.

[01:37:18] It is pretty tough.

[01:37:20] Oh no, color magic! What are we gonna do?

[01:37:28] We're just going to this for a minute.

[01:37:28] I've never seen anything like that before.

[01:37:30] Where can we find magic that might be,

[01:37:32] like red or pink?

[01:37:35] What's the crowd think about this?

[01:37:40] Please laugh.

[01:37:43] Arzeth's reactions are in eternal mood

[01:37:47] Don't look so blue, princess!

[01:37:51] These are just like emotions

[01:37:55] that are also colors.

[01:37:59] Alright casual all our guns hi one beacon down four to go still got no jewel shards but

[01:38:06] we'll get that eventually here's my first sword pit there you go

[01:38:09] then enemy normally has two health.

[01:38:13] We also have bomb drops, so you mentioned that briefly

[01:38:16] we have item bags that are going to come across during the run

[01:38:21] eight of them that were're going to hit,

[01:38:23] and we need three

[01:38:25] of them to be bomb drops, otherwise

[01:38:27] you have to go buy bombs. So every time

[01:38:29] we get a bomb drop, which is

[01:38:31] not common... I'd say it's probably around 1 in 5.

[01:38:34] I want everyone

[01:38:35] in that audience to be freaking out

[01:38:37] and cheering and applauding, because

[01:38:39] I had a practice run earlier

[01:38:41] that got none. I also had a practice run that got four,

[01:38:43] so hopefully we'll get four.

[01:38:45] That'd be nice.

[01:38:46] So here's our first one.

[01:38:47] Let's see it.

[01:38:49] Nope.

[01:38:50] Nope, not this time.

[01:38:51] You can use that to buy bombs.

[01:38:52] Use it to buy bombs, but it's not bombs itself.

[01:38:55] I think the most angering run I ever had was a dead run and I had 18 bombs going into Nodelgie.

[01:39:01] I was so mad!

[01:39:04] The most I've gotten

[01:39:05] is five drops, so...

[01:39:07] ...

[01:39:09] ...

[01:39:11] ...

[01:39:26] ... Dale is just in eternal mood. Oh, boy! Hello. Father?

[01:39:28] That's not good.

[01:39:29] Oh, no.

[01:39:30] I think he's dying.

[01:39:32] How long do you think he has?

[01:39:34] Like a level.

[01:39:35] Two and a half minutes

[01:39:45] Even if it were true, I can't leave the kingdom you will lead this Kingdom to its best days

[01:39:47] I'm certain of it.

[01:39:50] I must return to my quest. Goodbye, father.

[01:39:51] Now we have our first hard bit

[01:39:53] of the run.

[01:39:54] We're going into swamp

[01:39:55] and gonna do our first coyote jump

[01:39:57] where we have about a three frame window

[01:39:58] to make this jump off a leaf

[01:39:59] to make an early cycle.

[01:40:01] We're going to try to do it first right here.

[01:40:04] First try.

[01:40:04] Nice.

[01:40:05] Very nice.

[01:40:07] That's really tight.

[01:40:10] Also if you just like if you kind of of hold left to the rest of the screen or right through the rest of the screen you pretty much make it really fast

[01:40:13] There he is! Yep

[01:40:15] There he is

[01:40:18] If we go to exclamation point donate Would you mind stepping aside? Regrettably, my terrible hunger must have changed

[01:40:21] I had to go through any of your ideas

[01:40:25] Alas. I won't accept commoner food

[01:40:28] I require fine dining.

[01:40:30] Perhaps if you're under the forest rock?

[01:40:33] You understand.

[01:40:39] Guess what, we already have it. We're just that good!

[01:40:43] Bon appetit!

[01:40:47] So thankfully that is a smart sword, it makes people talk

[01:40:52] Right, and he's off.

[01:40:56] Mayor looking at you.

[01:40:58] That mosquito needs to chill back there.

[01:41:00] He's fine... We don't need health what is health?

[01:41:06] so obviously getting help to pick up some enemies helps make the speed run a lot faster because

[01:41:11] you can kind of just...

[01:41:12] We're allowed to damage boost.

[01:41:13] Yeah, you kinda stroll through the screen and tank stuff

[01:41:16] and be lucky later.

[01:41:19] What makes this speedrun so challenging is there are additional health containers or containers you can pick up throughout the run.

[01:41:24] We don't, we have free health the entire run and

[01:41:28] There's a lot of stuff that we don't pick up that aren't really helpful.

[01:41:32] And there's enemies that will do two hearts of damage,

[01:41:34] so it gets very, very dicey later on.

[01:41:39] All right, as we stroll through swamp here,

[01:41:41] not too much to talk about.

[01:41:42] Can we get some...

[01:41:44] Oh, a little lag there.

[01:41:45] Hippy can we have that donation or two?

[01:41:47] Of course! We've got

[01:41:49] five dollars here from Morshu

[01:41:51] who says lamb boil rope

[01:41:53] bombs you want it its yours my friend Lamb oil? Rope? Bombs?

[01:41:55] You want it, it's yours my friend.

[01:41:57] As long as you have enough rubies.

[01:42:00] Wait what do you mean wrong name?

[01:42:02] Arzett?!

[01:42:04] Who is that?

[01:42:05] Maybe I'll have to donate more when

[01:42:07] I'm a bit richer.

[01:42:09] Thank you very much!

[01:42:11] We got another little back door here

[01:42:13] drop us into this room

[01:42:15] give us the Pegasus boots which will

[01:42:17] give us a double top. Griffin Boots not Pegasus Boots. I like how I knew when

[01:42:21] i first played this i liked how i knew that door was down there but i didn't

[01:42:23] realize you can go in the other way. I know the names of things, it's fine.

[01:42:28] I didn't realize there was a red magic back until I completed

[01:42:31] the game and that was very sad.

[01:42:33] Same!

[01:42:34] So another interesting property the bombs have is you can actually

[01:42:37] hit them with your sword wave and they will explode on command.

[01:42:41] You also like to trick shot them if you let go of the wave while the bomb is in the air.

[01:42:48] We're going to do a lot of so bombing oh no

[01:42:51] or said

[01:42:53] chat because my thoughts

[01:42:57] by both on cisco and he's sads. This is just the sad cutscene

[01:43:01] And Dale's here too

[01:43:03] Actually, there was a trick shot in the desert when you were in the darkness

[01:43:08] You threw the bomb and hit the wave that is a lot trickier

[01:43:11] than it looks the bomb timing is tight but actually lands on a ledge but if you jump too

[01:43:17] late your land on the ledge and if you go too soon, the bomb won't.

[01:43:21] Let's call it a very common reset point.

[01:43:23] Dale?

[01:43:27] I'm glad

[01:43:29] you're here.

[01:43:34] Your paramour's future...

[01:43:37] and the best part of my life. I love you too, Father. I wasn't expecting this to happen.

[01:43:43] It's called tragic relief, okay?

[01:43:47] Spoilers! Sorry.

[01:43:49] Spoilers.

[01:43:53] Spoilers. Sorry.

[01:43:54] Spoilers.

[01:44:01] Now we're ready.

[01:44:02] Let's go jump in a volcano.

[01:44:07] That NPC right there is my favorite by far.

[01:44:11] Volcanoes are really fun level, it It has lots of nice platforming and timed sword beams.

[01:44:24] And we're just going to delve to the bottom for Quests Unknown.

[01:44:26] Can we get a quick donation as I fail to platform here?

[01:44:31] Of course, we can! We have $10 from Lo horses girl who says it's been so awesome

[01:44:39] seeing this run come together these past few months good luck and have fun now

[01:44:44] time for some vampire pancakes!

[01:44:47] Not this one, unfortunately. We will talk about Denny later.

[01:44:53] This is Celeste. Welcome.

[01:44:56] Playing Celeste.

[01:44:58] You want to talk about level design a little bit?

[01:45:00] Because this isn't variety, we just got out of a volcano and now we're climbing a mountain.

[01:45:06] Level design in this game was not done

[01:45:09] in the way I would consider sane.

[01:45:13] I designed every level on graph paper first,

[01:45:16] I'd pick a shape that I liked... Let's go with graph paper first. I'd pick a shape that I liked,

[01:45:19] Yep, tried to tie it into the level theme, my gray boxes

[01:45:23] John Leneman known for his work on Digital Foundry

[01:45:27] he helped me, he's my friend.

[01:45:29] He worked on the game as a designer as well

[01:45:31] and we both decided we liked the level well enough.

[01:45:34] I would make a sketch based on like

[01:45:37] the level collision

[01:45:38] And then I would pass that sketch onto a

[01:45:40] painter to make it into a beautiful painting but

[01:45:43] yeah uh it's pretty hard to make something naturalistic in like

[01:45:47] a painting but also like a level. So yeah

[01:45:51] that's sort of how it was done. Alright time to count blushes

[01:45:55] Oh yea? Time to count blushes in the next

[01:45:59] two scenes. If you want a bit of refraction, bring it to me!

[01:46:01] Why should I?

[01:46:03] My lord...

[01:46:05] if you wish to scour

[01:46:07] cursed places for jewels

[01:46:09] You better come well prepared

[01:46:14] i can give you protection against evil energy

[01:46:18] oh no the evil energy Two!

[01:46:29] What a crazy random happenstance. We found that jewel in the volcano. Three!

[01:46:37] Alright. I So that's an item we need to enter one level later

[01:46:39] Actually it's two levels isn't it?

[01:46:41] One in this run. No bombs now we're coming across apparently what

[01:46:45] was apparently a hard boss in play testing

[01:46:51] oh yeah it was uh it was a big difficulty spike. It was supposed to be a checkpoint

[01:46:56] kind of prompt the player to get more items

[01:47:00] She's basically just way faster with more unpredictable patterns

[01:47:05] Yeah nobody liked that in Playtesting.

[01:47:07] So, let's see how fast

[01:47:09] can you do this fight now?

[01:47:11] Oh, was there a boss fight?

[01:47:11] There we go.

[01:47:13] That's a clap in there.

[01:47:18] And we got our first Dorito.

[01:47:22] Unfortunately, we did not get bombs

[01:47:24] in the first two drops so you do have to go buy some. Which is fine.

[01:47:27] While you're shopping, do you have time for

[01:47:29] a celebratory donation? Of course!

[01:47:31] We've got $100 from

[01:47:33] the Zeldathon team!

[01:47:35] Hey guys!

[01:47:38] And they would like to say The Yippee! We have more Coyoteote jumps in this level there's one there i missed

[01:47:49] yeah or is that can't swim it's okay and this is the hardest level for tight jump

[01:47:55] timing uh we have four coyote jumps we have to do in total.

[01:47:59] First two aren't that bad,

[01:48:01] but the reset time is really long.

[01:48:04] There we go.

[01:48:05] Made the first two.

[01:48:07] Now we have the hard ones.

[01:48:08] We have about a three frame window total on a moving platform

[01:48:13] Wanna try to do it first time here? Let's see if that goes well

[01:48:18] Uh, the pink candles are to...

[01:48:20] Let's go.

[01:48:24] We're also collecting candles, you saw us do a barrier earlier

[01:48:28] about 12 candles total i believe yeah sounds right

[01:48:34] so we're gonna come through here we're going to grab blue magic that's going

[01:48:36] on this two other things on this submarine.

[01:48:41] Does that make sense? Of course not, you know.

[01:48:49] Let's go!

[01:48:56] Like I'm saying nice to my own RNG.

[01:49:00] Good job, good pet on the back is it one in five i did a trial i got

[01:49:04] like 22 out of 100. figure it's somewhere around no it's it's weighted towards what

[01:49:10] you have and don't have. Especially on casual mode,

[01:49:13] it's more weighted towards other things

[01:49:15] but you're close!

[01:49:17] Hey chat who does this look like?

[01:49:21] He looks kinda like Barney the Dinosaur.

[01:49:24] He's purple.

[01:49:26] Trying to stay on brand, I thought it looked

[01:49:28] like Velocity.

[01:49:32] It unironically looks like a lot,

[01:49:35] like one of the enemies in Zoombinis. I need you to know that.

[01:49:41] Which you will see later on. You will! There's also incentive open for that,

[01:49:45] you should do it! Help us with

[01:49:47] the incentive!

[01:49:49] I first saw that character sprite and I thought it was

[01:49:51] Midna for a second, I don't know how that happened.

[01:49:53] It's-it's the helmet.

[01:49:56] It's-it's the helmet, it's the orange hair

[01:49:58] Alright three beacons down

[01:50:00] making progress

[01:50:07] This cutscene is pretty good. Yeah it is. This one with the loot? Yeah, okay yeah.

[01:50:11] This one with music. are these what's up through your actions dimer's horses are critical

[01:50:23] jack can we get some dancing that's just wonderful dude too slow yep

[01:50:30] noise reminds me some instruments in

[01:50:33] this world are magical laying them in

[01:50:36] the right place what they tell us all this stuff like, right after we already got it?

[01:50:39] Right?

[01:50:40] By the way, it's this instrument if you couldn't figure it out.

[01:50:43] Is that what you're trying to do to us?

[01:50:45] You would be surprised.

[01:50:52] Oh no, oh no. That's the continuation of that cutscene right there.

[01:50:56] Dipping me left is fine.

[01:50:58] I'll find control keys. Good thing we left, it's fine. Ah this level...

[01:51:00] All fine, control-G is being weird.

[01:51:02] It's fine.

[01:51:08] It's fine.

[01:51:11] Blame the controller.

[01:51:14] Control key stopped working, it's working now.

[01:51:17] Do we skip that candle now I guess? Yep.

[01:51:22] Do you have a moment for a few donations first because i've got ten dollars for

[01:51:27] you from horrifically melting wizard who says

[01:51:29] you've killed me and the resulting wizard who says, YOU'VE KILLED ME!

[01:51:35] Good.

[01:51:37] Savage.

[01:51:39] Do you have time for one more?

[01:51:41] Uh...one- let's finish this for a moment. Do you have time for one more?

[01:51:45] Let's finish this room real quick. This room, we have to try and get through as quick as we can

[01:51:47] to make a cycle

[01:51:49] which probably aren't going to do because I just stopped for a second

[01:51:55] This is probably one of the hardest yeah it's fine we have bombs probably one of the tightest cycles that you'll have to deal with in this game

[01:52:05] there it goes game. There it is.

[01:52:05] I got hit, but

[01:52:06] it's fine.

[01:52:07] We'll make

[01:52:08] it.

[01:52:08] All right, go

[01:52:08] for it.

[01:52:10] Got $25

[01:52:11] for you from

[01:52:12] Snow Worm

[01:52:12] who says,

[01:52:14] Hi Seth!

[01:52:14] I remember years ago

[01:52:15] you told me one of your dreams

[01:52:17] was to make a game

[01:52:18] and see it being run on GDQ.

[01:52:20] Look at you go!

[01:52:21] You did it!

[01:52:22] I'm so proud of you

[01:52:23] and I'm excited

[01:52:24] to see where your dreams take you next.

[01:52:25] I'll be with you every step of the way.

[01:52:27] Love, Your Wife & The Puppies

[01:52:34] I love you.

[01:52:36] Get it from Beth.

[01:52:38] D'Arsh!

[01:52:42] Alright, here we got Beavs

[01:52:44] a not-trivial boss but not the worst.

[01:52:48] Definitely my favorite boss design of the group.

[01:52:52] Oh yeah. Daniel did all the enemy and boss designs and

[01:52:57] he just killed it

[01:53:02] i'd say we're not in first job boy then was working on this um

[01:53:05] doppelganger the fort has some great attack randomness with its NPCs if you want to talk about how

[01:53:12] you designed or planned their attacks.

[01:53:15] Especially those fireball enemies?

[01:53:17] Yeah, and why do they know?

[01:53:19] You'll just be running and all of a sudden

[01:53:21] they never attack you before

[01:53:23] and it's like oh, you're dead now.

[01:53:25] So I don't use the global timer

[01:53:27] each enemy actually does have its own timer that i tweaked

[01:53:30] on a per room per like encounter her rooms yeah there's a lot of randomness regarding

[01:53:37] likes certain attacks but since it's not global

[01:53:40] It makes it harder to predict

[01:53:44] as you just let me know

[01:53:48] Boss patterns though, those do use randomness so next boss is gonna be fun

[01:53:57] no such thing as too fast we're speed speedrunners, so it's fastest

[01:54:01] fun. Yeah this whole run is

[01:54:03] routed on getting those boots pretty much as soon

[01:54:05] possible because now we are much faster

[01:54:07] and use that to get through this

[01:54:09] level pretty quick.

[01:54:14] I feel like this level, out of all them, just feels the smoothest

[01:54:16] when everything goes according to plan.

[01:54:19] But nothing ever goes according

[01:54:20] to plan. Especially the silo here, where it's like

[01:54:23] I need this one enemy to drop a heart

[01:54:25] otherwise I need to change cycle plans

[01:54:27] and not drop a heart

[01:54:29] Yeah, this room is brutal, deceptively so

[01:54:34] We needed to damage boost through that guy I mean it's a high frame through them but we did not so a little bit of back

[01:54:38] up here oh that's fine what would his death it's fine what is that

[01:54:47] it's just our head it's fine she starts actually

[01:54:54] you have just enough iframes to get through there yes but you need the heart on that one cycle.

[01:54:58] Alright, as we finish up

[01:54:59] Pills, can we get another donation?

[01:55:01] Sure thing! Bombs!

[01:55:03] Woo!

[01:55:07] Applause thing. Bombs! Bombs! Here's $50 from

[01:55:09] Lightmop, who says,

[01:55:10] The heroic princess! Meow!

[01:55:13] Looks like someone found their way to watch all cutscenes.

[01:55:16] I'll offer you a deal. Here's my first ever GDQ donation

[01:55:20] for the game that has rekindled the kiln in my heart.

[01:55:24] Love you all!

[01:55:29] Unfortunately we will not be seeing that particular cutscene, there's exactly one cutscene

[01:55:31] in the game you can't skip

[01:55:33] Oh that cutscene

[01:55:35] It's a great cutscene! It's fantastic! You're

[01:55:37] rekindling the kiln! It's when you

[01:55:39] know Dobbly knew

[01:55:41] exactly what he was doing with that cutscene.

[01:55:45] Yeah, my good friend and producer, Adi. He had been wanting to put a moose man in

[01:55:51] the game for a long time, and he got his wish. I'm very happy for him and everybody else

[01:55:57] that got to experience health.

[01:55:59] ...in the book of Ocaran!

[01:56:02] So we're just repeating the past?

[01:56:05] Not exactly. Hi, you won't be there this time.

[01:56:08] Thanks Dale.

[01:56:15] Librarians look away. Throw the book at him, Arcee!

[01:56:21] It's me when given a book.

[01:56:24] Too long didn't read it.

[01:56:25] Bye.

[01:56:29] So now we have

[01:56:31] Count Denny's castle. I want to explain Denny a little bit

[01:56:35] Yes, that Denny

[01:56:39] You want me to explain

[01:56:42] anyone can explain count danny if they want i feel like it's self-explanatory he is a vampire

[01:56:48] he's a vampire he sure loves eating breakfast just love this breakfast slam

[01:56:54] dunk of a breakfast come on you thought sluss was the only place we're going to

[01:56:58] Denny's this marathon we're going to slice they're going to

[01:57:02] denny's you know after finding out i gotta eat

[01:57:05] some eggs pancakes yeah

[01:57:10] denny's a character i came up with alongside my wife

[01:57:13] many many years ago we were sleep deprived half delirious kind of like

[01:57:17] right now uh when we started we just started

[01:57:21] talking about a silly vampire, making breakfast.

[01:57:23] So you know when I was making the game

[01:57:25] I was like well that character is going to be in there

[01:57:28] Alright we now have

[01:57:30] unarguably the hardest boss in the game

[01:57:33] Casually it's trivial because you have a shield that just deflects

[01:57:35] attacks back we don't have that we have three hearts we can take two hits before

[01:57:40] we die do you have a lot of bombs i have a lot of bombs i don't

[01:57:43] i'm not good at the four bomb strats,

[01:57:45] I have my two-bomb strats that I use.

[01:57:47] If you get three bomb drops

[01:57:49] you have two bombs to use here.

[01:57:51] And then of course

[01:57:53] the cycles are different on your first attempt than if you die and keep trying.

[01:57:55] So we're going to try to beat him in one attempt here.

[01:57:58] Yeah, Nodelke just does what

[01:58:01] Nodelke wants to do...

[01:58:18] No! I won't make the same mistake. Definitely one of those hard, like when you're learning to speed run this

[01:58:21] is one of those ones where you take some time.

[01:58:25] That's a fate worse than 10 years of scrubbing floors.

[01:58:30] Not related to this level at all, does anyone have a favorite character?

[01:58:34] Mmm...yeah

[01:58:36] Volcano Man.

[01:58:39] For sure.

[01:58:41] His name is Joe by the way.

[01:58:46] I'm a fan of the guy with the calendar.

[01:58:48] Oh!

[01:58:51] Torque? Yeah, he's great.

[01:58:55] So we're back in the forest because we didn't do the boss here yet Because it's much faster to actually come back later

[01:59:02] And run through it this quick with the speed boots in double jump.

[01:59:05] Anyone like horses?

[01:59:06] No.

[01:59:07] Anyone like puns? Nay!

[01:59:15] Art.

[01:59:24] Enough, rein it in

[01:59:32] very serious game here yeah this is here. Stop horsing around!

[01:59:38] There's Clive...intended to be the first boss.

[01:59:44] Right. Here we get our fourth Dorito.

[01:59:49] One boss left and it's going to be the wonderful Kornrad.

[01:59:53] The only time I've ever seen a Scarecrow in another Zelda game is actually...

[01:59:58] This is clearly your inspiration, I know it. Kakashi from Ripe and Tingle's

[02:00:04] Balloon Trip of Love, the Wizard of Oz

[02:00:06] tingle game

[02:00:08] has a scarecrow named Kakashi who is

[02:00:10] awesome

[02:00:12] Guessing that was clearly an inspiration for cornrad

[02:00:15] do you have just a moment for a quick update of course

[02:00:19] we have now met the watch all cutscenes wild boobie incentives yeah let's hear y'all great job

[02:00:30] we love to see it we do have four bombs you can actually one cycle

[02:00:34] uh corn right here

[02:00:38] but as far as inspiration goes i mean

[02:00:40] i don't know what to tell you i think talking scarecrows are really funny

[02:00:57] he's stuck in I think most of the bosses in this game can teleport. I think so, yeah. That was indeed a theme!

[02:01:01] Nice!

[02:01:05] I just pressed the bomb button four times.

[02:01:11] Alright, last Dorito! We did it!

[02:01:14] You can form the Mega dorito now

[02:01:20] otherwise known as the jewel of fairmark yeah

[02:01:23] i'm here to restore that you will appear we don't even form it really inform

[02:01:26] from five perform at form it from one.

[02:01:33] May I?

[02:01:37] Yeah so the big turning point at the end is instead of imprisoning him in the book we put the jewel in our sword to just kill him instead.

[02:01:48] So with that we're gonna head towards the final boss and the final level.

[02:01:54] And it's your purple magic.

[02:01:58] Probably one of the most amusing cutscenes that we will see.

[02:02:01] Good ol' Sazzy.

[02:02:04] Oops, I accidentally did a cutscene I didn't mean to do.

[02:02:06] Oh no! We get to meet this character!

[02:02:23] Awesome! this character Have you seen her around? I want words!

[02:02:28] Actually, I'm parched. You got anything to drink? I have some water.

[02:02:31] Uh...you're killing me here, literally.

[02:02:33] Spoil!

[02:02:37] I made this really terrible crude

[02:02:41] placeholder sprite for her, right? With a shirt and blue jeans. And then my character designer saw that

[02:02:47] and said yeah I want to illustrate that exactly like that. One of my favorite designs.

[02:02:54] She's very good.

[02:02:56] Alright, we got one more donation because they're coming up on the end of the game here.

[02:03:00] Sure thing and here is $5 from Count Denny who says this game seems like a grand slam.

[02:03:08] Denny's jokes.

[02:03:12] It's Slam Dunk actually.

[02:03:17] Here he is, Budget Ganon. What a pity!

[02:03:19] I've always wondered, Dimer...

[02:03:21] Why did you embrace the darkness?

[02:03:23] Why choose this?

[02:03:24] Why not? Power is all that matters I've heard enough. And I've had enough!

[02:03:36] Today,

[02:03:37] I will end your pathetic peace-loving bloodline!

[02:03:41] When your life ends

[02:03:43] my reign begins!

[02:03:46] Die! Die!

[02:03:48] Okay, great start.

[02:03:52] Yeah, if you insist.

[02:03:56] Yeah and they have a huge hitbox. Those books are one shot kills at the very beginning.

[02:06:00] Zoombinis. I was told that if

[02:06:02] we meet the Zoombinis incentive

[02:06:03] it's going to mess with a lot of the practice that went into Zoom

[02:06:07] Beanies and make them run into chaos.

[02:12:42] Alright we're gonna be jumping into some Barbie here on the screen you can see existential crisis Barbie just a quick reset so we can see something that's a little bit horrifying

[02:12:51] before we get started.

[02:12:54] Which is...

[02:12:56] Here we go. Three, two, eee!

[02:12:58] Ugh!

[02:13:00] Scary Barbie. So let's get that off your screen as fast as possible and

[02:13:04] get started in 3, 2, 1...

[02:13:08] Go!

[02:13:10] We got it. It's fine.

[02:13:13] This is a very serious speedrun.

[02:13:17] So, Barbie...

[02:13:19] Sharif you have some experience with Barbie. Why don't you kick us off here?

[02:13:21] Yeah sure so this game is a platformer and she's in a mall so basically she is dreaming

[02:13:29] She's sleeping before a very big date with Ken tomorrow, and

[02:13:35] she was reading her book.

[02:13:36] And this is what she dreams about, which is

[02:13:38] getting absolutely bodied at a mall.

[02:13:41] Of course. Me too.

[02:13:43] Yeah, in terms of

[02:13:44] the mechanics of the game you kind of just saw all of it in like the first 37.

[02:13:50] But basically Barbie can't really interact with anything in her... Because she's in a dream so she can't really interact with anything in her...

[02:13:55] She's in a dream, so she can't really interact

[02:13:56] with anything. Everything is incorporeal

[02:13:58] except that she takes damage.

[02:14:00] So she uses these charm bracelets

[02:14:02] on the bottom left to

[02:14:05] interact with things.

[02:14:06] Are there bracelets?

[02:14:07] I did not kick my...

[02:14:08] Yeah, it's like charm bracelets, right?

[02:14:10] The little diamonds.

[02:14:11] Uh-huh.

[02:14:11] And so the one that we're using

[02:14:13] right now is that left-right

[02:14:14] one and that makes things go

[02:14:15] left and right. first boss don't clap

[02:14:20] we defeated the beach balls by feeding the kitty cat

[02:14:23] some diamonds naturally uh there's a tiny shoe here, that one does do damage.

[02:14:29] Just missed.

[02:14:30] So the question mark block does various things

[02:14:32] that we'll see later in the game and

[02:14:34] the X-block stops things but we're in a speed run

[02:14:36] so we don't ever stop.

[02:14:37] So that's basically the TLDR.

[02:14:39] Terrifying enemies, the floating blouses?

[02:14:41] They are so scary.

[02:14:43] Oh boy this boss though.

[02:14:44] This boss is actually annoying.

[02:14:48] Oh that's not what I wanted to hit first but

[02:14:49] that's okay let's see if we can there we go

[02:14:51] That's alright. There's like a task quick kill that actually does

[02:14:53] kill that first so that's fine.

[02:14:55] Yeah I'm doing task strats for sure.

[02:14:58] Also fun fact there is a task at this game

[02:14:59] Please hit that glove

[02:15:02] please hit that glove, there we go

[02:15:04] There we go

[02:15:05] Woo!

[02:15:14] Um I feel like this is just Barbie having an anxiety nightmare.

[02:15:15] This is definitely a stress nightmare.

[02:15:17] Before her first date.

[02:15:19] I don't know if it's her first date with Ken, but... It's easy.

[02:15:20] A special day.

[02:15:21] She was just like me for real.

[02:15:23] So relatable!

[02:15:25] So you guys saw

[02:15:27] Conception

[02:15:29] press down on top of a fountain and then

[02:15:32] warped through half the stage.

[02:15:35] Yeah, that was pretty cool, right?

[02:15:36] That was really cool. Secret room!

[02:15:38] We didn't know about that for years, and somebody found it by accident.

[02:15:40] I don't know if anybody knew about that.

[02:15:43] They just found out right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're the first person to play

[02:15:47] this game, right? Mhm. I like the chocolate...the purple chocolate walls

[02:15:51] Yeah they look straight up Hershey bars.

[02:15:53] Vertical bricks.

[02:15:55] You know... I can't judge

[02:15:57] 80s architecture.

[02:15:59] They go off.

[02:16:01] Though I've always been saying the worst part about fountains and malls is

[02:16:04] the fish that keep flying out and trying to hit you in the face

[02:16:06] It hurts, it really does

[02:16:08] Really painful when they really smack your hair

[02:16:09] High velocity

[02:16:10] This level is actually absolutely a nightmare casually if you don't do those little strategic stops that you saw Conception

[02:16:17] do there. That just trivializes the level entirely, so yeah, that was pretty neat.

[02:16:21] Yeah! We got the right amount of health too? We're gonna tank a lot of hits in the x level so this is like

[02:16:25] those uh those commercials where there's like a woman underneath a waterfall but like the realistic

[02:16:30] version where she keeps getting hurt yeah ow ow ow i just like to point out how tall barbie is

[02:16:38] yeah she isn't like six five like strutting for her exactly go off

[02:16:44] barbie amazon amazon barbie Exactly. Go off, honestly. Amazon Barbie.

[02:16:49] She's not like me for real.

[02:16:53] So yeah if you notice the health is Zs

[02:16:55] so Barbie sleeping If you die health is uh z's so barbie sleeping so if you

[02:16:57] if you die because barbie would never die right she just wakes up

[02:17:01] so we get three wake-ups and then she wakes up for good

[02:17:04] yeah so that's a pizza yep and that's a pizza that's a pizza also that's a pizza. Yep.

[02:17:07] And that's a pizza.

[02:17:09] That's a pizza.

[02:17:11] I've heard... what's that?

[02:17:13] Pizza.

[02:17:15] Barbie token pizza.

[02:17:17] Is it a pepperoni?

[02:17:18] What kind of pizza?

[02:17:19] I don't know.

[02:17:20] It looks raw still.

[02:17:21] Raw pizza.

[02:17:23] It doesn't look good.

[02:17:25] What kind of pizza would Barbie stress dream about exactly?

[02:17:28] I don't know. Is Barbie like a pepperoni on Pizza Gal What kind of pizza would Barbie stress dream about exactly?

[02:17:28] I don't know.

[02:17:29] Is Barbie like a pepperoni on Pizza Gal?

[02:17:31] Maybe she's like a pineapple on pizza.

[02:17:33] Ooh, she might be.

[02:17:34] I feel that's the vibe actually.

[02:17:36] Oh we're so back. She's just like me for real though. I was getting worried!

[02:17:40] That red toucan you saw

[02:17:42] has the worst hitbox of anything in the whole game?

[02:17:44] Yes. At the very start

[02:17:46] it says pizza but the Zs

[02:17:48] look like eyes. I finally saw it and it looked terrible.

[02:17:51] It actually says pizza, right?

[02:17:52] It just says pizza.

[02:17:53] There is also a piece of invincibility on one of those tables

[02:17:57] but it runs out before you get to the boss.

[02:17:58] Does that actually matter at all?

[02:18:00] This is the pizza oven yeah that's

[02:18:02] a boss believe it or not yeah you know how in portal 2 you shut down like vladis's like

[02:18:07] neurotoxin yeah it's like that off the. Yeah exactly it's like that. The pizza generation

[02:18:12] Uh we have a bit of an

[02:18:14] unskippable cutscene here so we can get one

[02:18:16] or two donations in Pippi. Wonderful

[02:18:18] wonderful! Here is $10 from

[02:18:20] Ogundrakthir who says good luck with the run.

[02:18:25] Just know that whatever time it ends up being is kenuff.

[02:18:31] Love getting to work with you, and I look forward

[02:18:33] to showing off even more awful

[02:18:35] and silly games in the future.

[02:18:37] Oh my god! You're a mermaid.

[02:18:41] So as you can tell by my sunglasses we're at the beach now.

[02:18:44] Yes.

[02:18:45] That's actually what the cutscene says she says let's go to the beach and then this happens.

[02:18:48] Yeah.

[02:18:49] Under the beach I think?

[02:18:50] Yes.

[02:18:51] Very anxiety inducing music as well.

[02:18:54] Not the best track.

[02:18:55] This is not fitting for a Barbie game.

[02:18:57] Also the most annoying movement because I have to mash A

[02:19:00] to move here.

[02:19:01] So it is capped at eight hits uh per second um but that's still like considerable you can

[02:19:07] definitely hurt yourself yeah also we only do this for a few levels so we don't have to do any

[02:19:12] repetitive stress injuries the shortest world in the game for sure, so... She whips it too

[02:19:16] like look at her

[02:19:18] she's going so fast. Take this a little

[02:19:20] soon. The animation for that was actually good

[02:19:22] Yeah we were comparing the number of frames

[02:19:24] compared to Mega Man's walk-side-off.

[02:19:27] That's fine, we got an extra health.

[02:19:28] Yeah, we had an extra health, so that's totally fine.

[02:19:30] Take some clam damage.

[02:19:31] Okay, yes.

[02:19:33] Clamage, if you will, yes.

[02:19:35] Can I leave?

[02:19:37] Absolutely not.

[02:19:41] So the health is routed,

[02:19:43] pretty tightly in this game

[02:19:45] there's a bunch of extra, like, backup healths and stuff

[02:19:48] but yeah you're always... what you're doing really depends on how much health you have so that hit

[02:19:52] that Conception took earlier was completely nothing burger.

[02:19:56] I like turtles. just had to decide

[02:20:00] you didn't want to predict what this says i'm thinking barbecue yeah

[02:20:03] options on the bar

[02:20:09] a Barbie. Barben Heimer.

[02:20:10] Nope.

[02:20:12] Barber.

[02:20:15] A little bit of an auto-scroller here, as you can see, with nothing

[02:20:17] to worry about at all. So Pippi you got another donation get squeezed on in here

[02:20:20] too oh i've got some great ones for you here's 25 from flaming sarge who says that's a pizza

[02:20:29] time for another quick one.

[02:20:30] Yeah, that was a quick one.

[02:20:31] Let's do it one more time.

[02:20:32] Here is $5 from VStormCourage who says how can Khan Beach if they're at the mall?

[02:20:38] That's why my job is video game.

[02:20:40] Established lore. Yeah. That's why my job is video game!

[02:20:42] Established lore!

[02:20:45] This is the underwater prison complex?

[02:20:47] Yep. This level is like some sort of wind maze, I've never really fully understood the mechanic you kind of just

[02:20:52] match through it yeah those underwater tornadoes are going to be out to get us all dolphin grab

[02:20:58] yeah okay wow i missed that about 50% of the time.

[02:21:03] That can get real bad really fast.

[02:21:05] Hardest boss fight? Hang on.

[02:21:07] Yep, it's alright.

[02:21:12] King and queen crab afraid! Yeah!

[02:21:14] King and Queen crab are freed.

[02:21:17] The monarchy... we can't celebrate the Monarchy on July 4th.

[02:21:19] No, that's fair enough.

[02:21:23] Alright, well we're gone from the beach so I gotta take these off. Yeah.

[02:21:24] Yep, no more beach.

[02:21:25] Um alright another unskippable cutscene here one or two donations Pippi if you please?

[02:21:31] Sure thing! Here's $25 dollars from Swose, now where have I heard that game name before?

[02:21:36] Who says, Hi Barbie! Best of luck dreaming or whatever it is Barbie does.

[02:21:42] Shout out to the rest of the couch and don't fall into the jukebox oh no I'm

[02:21:47] gonna follow the jukebox yeah maybe a counter you know so. Yeah it might be a counter yeah. A double reverse?

[02:21:55] We'll have to find out.

[02:21:56] We'll get there.

[02:21:57] So we're at a soda fountain in the 50s now.

[02:21:58] Soda fountain level...

[02:21:59] You can tell because soda's 10 cents.

[02:22:01] That's an ice cream cone.

[02:22:03] That's an ice cream cone.

[02:22:05] That steam does hurt you, but the nice thing

[02:22:06] about those ice cream cones is that there's two pixels

[02:22:09] of safe space on each side of the

[02:22:11] ice cream cone. So if you wanted to be

[02:22:12] super swaggy, you could do that and lose time.

[02:22:14] Milk is five cents.

[02:22:20] I like the um the soda it looks like grape soda yeah

[02:22:23] shot's a great soda i know underrated soda

[02:22:27] feel free to shout out your favorite sodas in the donations

[02:22:28] and we'll read

[02:22:28] you might get to

[02:22:29] read one or two of them

[02:22:30] there's not much time

[02:22:31] left in the run

[02:22:32] to be candid

[02:22:32] Shout outs to

[02:22:33] shout outs to

[02:22:34] Putt-Putt

[02:22:35] Putt-Putt

[02:22:35] Yeah

[02:22:36] Gonna take some damage here on purpose.

[02:22:38] Hot dog, hamburger...

[02:22:40] Get it back immediately.

[02:22:42] I think you got a second health here too.

[02:22:44] Do you feel like Barbie is a hotdog girlie or a hamburger girlie?

[02:22:46] That's not my question.

[02:22:48] That is a great question. Ham.

[02:22:48] Did someone scream ham?

[02:22:51] She really likes ham, yeah.

[02:22:54] Pineapple pizza.

[02:22:54] We've actually had this.

[02:22:55] This is panic.

[02:22:56] Okay, so she just liked it.

[02:22:58] Java.

[02:22:58] That's a new one.

[02:23:00] Same price as Soda.

[02:23:02] You can feed that popcorn and the kernels will

[02:23:04] pop everywhere to get you that health

[02:23:06] But we don't need to do that.

[02:23:08] Who has the time to get his popcorn.

[02:23:11] That's a pizza.

[02:23:13] I guess?

[02:23:14] It shouldn't be, but it looks more of

[02:23:17] a pizza than the pizzas we saw.

[02:23:19] I agree with that.

[02:23:20] Java. That's orange soda as well let me get this

[02:23:23] back up health we are in a marathon after all it should be extra extra safe yeah having four house

[02:23:27] going into them very good so far impossible. Yeah, this platform is so

[02:23:32] weird.

[02:23:33] It's a weird

[02:23:34] momentum situation.

[02:23:35] Soda?

[02:23:36] Soda!

[02:23:38] Soda!

[02:23:39] Or soda!

[02:23:41] And java.

[02:23:43] Milk!

[02:23:45] And now a boss.

[02:23:47] That's good, we got the two...

[02:23:49] That's gonna hit.

[02:23:53] A little too hard. That was the equivalent of calling your shot and then not getting anywhere close.

[02:23:57] That was really close to the optimal fight.

[02:23:59] We were so close.

[02:24:01] Also, giant burgers that crush you.

[02:24:04] Burger!

[02:24:06] Okay, that's fine. I had an extra health anyway.

[02:24:08] We needed one of the two.

[02:24:10] Yeah, we're good.

[02:24:12] We ideally tried to get two there but I did not wait long enough for that one to uh spawn and it just went right through me 20 cents

[02:24:15] for the burger fries hot dogs only 15. oh hot dog we forgot we were gonna bring fries and chocolate

[02:24:23] yeah during the run nothing's open right now unfortunately.

[02:24:25] You could say that I would have been assaulted.

[02:24:29] And that's while I'm playing video games folks!

[02:24:33] Imagine when I'm not playing video games.

[02:24:35] Your job is video game.

[02:24:36] Yeah, my job is video games.

[02:24:38] Critical thinking under pressure.

[02:24:39] Burger!

[02:24:41] Another health there in the patty.

[02:24:44] For fans of palette swaps, these fries are

[02:24:47] just a fish again but they're fries

[02:24:49] Literally the same

[02:24:50] They're not fish

[02:24:53] They're fries

[02:24:54] Do you take purposeful hits

[02:24:56] from fries? do you take purposeful hits yeah so you can yeah you can't take purple shakes

[02:25:00] they're 80 cents they better be thick shakes yeah that better be thick shakes

[02:25:06] thick shakes this is another boss no go! Fiction.

[02:25:08] This is another boss. Another boss,

[02:25:10] yeah some ice cream.

[02:25:12] Alright we got good RNG there so

[02:25:14] we're gonna be fine. Yeah we are. Although you have a lot of health right now.

[02:25:16] Yeah I like to be extra safe, you know?

[02:25:18] Cannot hurt.

[02:25:20] And...we did it!

[02:25:22] Okay.

[02:25:23] Worst level in any video game coming out.

[02:25:25] Legitimately need-

[02:25:27] I'm going to stay completely focused here. This is really actually serious.

[02:25:30] You could describe this.

[02:25:33] We're inside of a jukebox jumping on these notes and then getting hit by these coins

[02:25:37] so you can see that moving platform

[02:25:40] underneath us. It's a conveyor belt

[02:25:42] that sends us to the beginning of the level if we fall

[02:25:44] over and over again

[02:25:46] Hopefully we won't see it happen but

[02:25:48] every time it happens at this point If were're this far to the level you're gonna lose 20 seconds every single time you fall.

[02:25:54] So yeah, we'll just sort of let him...

[02:25:57] I can't even like watch this part. It stresses me out too too much did you just one shot that yeah

[02:26:05] oh this is the final boss by the way yeah i was coming up soon if i could do this right

[02:26:15] you got to keep these coins spinning for some reason yeah yeah the final uh boss is rock and roll we are in the 50s obviously it is the devil's music and time It was really good.

[02:26:35] That's amazing. First try jukebox I got married last year but the second best

[02:26:37] moment in my life

[02:26:39] Was that? Was the conveyor belt level

[02:26:41] Oh my gosh! That's okay.

[02:26:44] When I met a celebrity this year, that might have been...

[02:26:47] Name drop it.

[02:26:48] I did meet Robert Downey Jr.

[02:26:49] Yeah, Iron Man.

[02:32:25] So give it up for Joester98 and Mad Panic Coaster! Alright everyone, welcome back to Silly Block.

[02:32:42] We are in the extremely hot Japanese PS1 section of the marathon.

[02:32:47] This is a game that, if you've

[02:32:49] never seen it before, could really only come from

[02:32:51] Japan. I am joined

[02:32:53] by Ekdysis on commentary.

[02:32:55] He's the only other person I know that's actually beaten this game on console before

[02:33:00] and one of like five people that's actually beaten the whole game period on video

[02:33:06] So, I think let's get

[02:33:08] right into it. There is a lot of action

[02:33:10] going on here and this game is actually quite

[02:33:12] hard so if i do die that's kind of expected

[02:33:14] It's unlikely I'll beat the game without

[02:33:16] dying but we will give it a go here so if

[02:33:18] we're ready uh let's get going here

[02:33:23] in three two one go Go!

[02:33:41] Alright, so the basic structure of this game is there are five worlds each world has three tracks and there's one goal and that goal is survive

[02:33:45] There are no railings on any tracks in this game

[02:33:49] you do have to steer the whole time.

[02:33:51] There also is a brake button, but not only

[02:33:54] is that slow it's actually useless

[02:33:56] because it doesn't really help you.

[02:33:59] And every track will have the slow buildup and here we go.

[02:34:05] Yeah, pretty much every single level of the game is going to go this fast.

[02:34:08] It's one of those games that immediately you realize how difficult the game actually is.

[02:34:15] Let's throw some things in, so every level

[02:34:17] You need to complete three laps of the deadly coasters

[02:34:20] The lore of the game is that,

[02:34:22] I don't even remember the guy's like

[02:34:23] some mad scientist made some rollercoaster

[02:34:25] to impress his son so you need to ride them

[02:34:28] and your not the sun

[02:34:29] you're just like some people

[02:34:33] but obviously a lot's going on

[02:34:35] and you want to avoid the bar in the top left

[02:34:37] that is your life.

[02:34:39] You have about maybe I think five hits

[02:34:41] In total there was a heel in the middle of the track we do grab it there five hits in total. There is a heal

[02:34:43] in the middle of

[02:34:44] the track, we do

[02:34:45] grab it there

[02:34:45] with some blue

[02:34:46] gem but you

[02:34:47] mainly sort of

[02:34:48] manage not getting

[02:34:49] hit throughout

[02:34:50] these tracks.

[02:34:51] Falling off does

[02:34:52] not immediately

[02:34:53] kill you.

[02:34:54] What it will do instead is take one of those bars in the top left,

[02:34:58] and count as a full hit.

[02:35:00] Getting hit is not a full hit,

[02:35:02] It's like a minor hit depending on what hits you.

[02:35:04] But yeah! we have about 15

[02:35:05] levels of this, we have fun stop music

[02:35:07] We have the track and uh...Lucky!

[02:35:11] So the game

[02:35:19] doesn't give you a lot of chops, it just tells you that you're lucky every time you beat this stage.

[02:35:27] I think the first time we played this game it took me like two hours to beat that stage for the first time. It's very, very annoying.

[02:35:31] And as the tracks kind of progress here they'll add in different gimmicks

[02:35:35] so this track actually has a hole in it that you have to jump over

[02:35:39] and the way the game indicates there's a hole in the track is there are these rows of shovels

[02:35:43] along the outside. On an early level like this, it's pretty well telegraphed but later in the game

[02:35:51] It's not really reactable so you just have to know that the holes are there or you will fall in.

[02:36:01] Something this level also teaches you is actually intentionally manipulating your cart to the

[02:36:07] left or right side of the track, which I'm going

[02:36:09] to do in this section to avoid getting hit by these bones. If you just stay

[02:36:13] in the middle there those will hit you and every time something hits you it actually sends

[02:36:17] towards an edge of the track.

[02:36:19] So not only is getting hit bad, but getting hit makes it much easier to actually fall off

[02:36:24] so you really just don't want to get hit.

[02:36:27] And then in certain situations where I have full health

[02:36:29] I'll actually skip that blue gem which is the Health Refill And then in certain situations where I have full health,

[02:36:30] I'll actually skip that blue gem which is the Health Refill

[02:36:33] that was mentioned earlier.

[02:36:35] I don't need it right now because I have Full Health so

[02:36:37] I just skipped it and then I will get it on Lap 2 instead

[02:36:40] just to get full use of it

[02:36:42] because getting it while you're at full health

[02:36:44] and he doesn't...

[02:36:45] It gives you more points if you get it

[02:36:46] while you have full health

[02:36:47] but points don't matter for speed here.

[02:36:49] So in fact, it's probably better to not do that for speed here.

[02:36:54] In fact, it's probably better to not do that because if you get more points then you get a higher score and that takes a little longer but

[02:36:58] That's really something to worry about here.

[02:37:03] There are also three attacks you can use, there's a

[02:37:05] short medium and long range attack

[02:37:07] and I did not

[02:37:09] know that there was a medium range attack in this game

[02:37:11] until like last year because I just never pressed the button.

[02:37:13] Yeah. So if you

[02:37:16] triangle

[02:37:17] is the medium range button

[02:37:19] so the first few runs

[02:37:21] of this game I did not use triangle which actually makes the game a lot harder because Triangle is very good.

[02:37:28] But if you just... If I had bothered to open the manual I would have seen that but I couldn't be bothered cause I already couldn't read it so I just didn't even bother

[02:37:35] looking at it. Nice! So I got an audio bug here.

[02:37:38] You'll notice this stage ended immediately

[02:37:41] so I'm not exactly sure how it works

[02:37:44] But my current theory is if you fire a weapon the same frame

[02:37:48] you finish the track, you will overlap audio sound effects and the game

[02:37:53] will not play the jingle at the end there what tells you you're lucky if you get that it

[02:37:58] saves eight seconds and you can get that on every track so if you get that on every track it would

[02:38:02] save about two minutes total um but it's very hard. I think the most times

[02:38:08] i've gotten in one run is five, but every time you get that

[02:38:12] saves a bunch of time so i'm glad i got there because

[02:38:14] i didn't want to have to just say that it exists and

[02:38:16] i never did

[02:38:17] it. So this is the first boss track, how the boss tracks in this game work are

[02:38:23] you do three laps of the track normally and then a split path will open.

[02:38:29] And then you fight the boss

[02:38:32] and when you fight bosses in this game there are two ways to kill them

[02:38:35] One is just hit them enough times

[02:38:39] and they die,

[02:38:40] and the other is you have to actually survive three more laps.

[02:38:42] So that option is slower on every

[02:38:45] boss, so I'm going to try to kill them all.

[02:38:48] And if I end up in a situation where

[02:38:49] I'm at low health, it may be

[02:38:51] worthwhile to actually just try

[02:38:53] wait the boss out but hopefully we don't

[02:38:55] Hopefully that doesn't happen

[02:38:57] and I just kill him.

[02:39:00] So there's the first three laps.

[02:39:03] And then this brick wall

[02:39:04] will open here, now I go this way

[02:39:06] and then here comes the first boss

[02:39:08] it's this clown guy

[02:39:09] he's not too tricky but And then here comes the first boss, it's this clown guy.

[02:39:11] He is not too tricky but the bosses in this game can vary wildly in difficulty like within

[02:39:17] the fight sometimes they just do nothing and sometimes they fill the screen with attacks that you cannot dodge

[02:39:23] His strategy is throwing beach balls at you

[02:39:25] I think. I don't know if pounds

[02:39:27] Beachballs are a thing but like

[02:39:29] Yeah he's just at the end of this coaster.

[02:39:32] He's dead! He just dies and then gets that screen!

[02:39:36] And I got the audio bug again.

[02:39:48] This is definitely- because I've got the audiobook twice this is definitely world record pace but it won't stay that way unfortunately. Because I'm going to need to get that several more times.

[02:39:50] This game is hard. We are anyway one of five major coasters down, we're on hub two especially now

[02:39:56] So if you managed to get through hub 1 and thought like ok this game was hard but I made it

[02:40:02] Then you get to this level and if you though staying on the track was hard but i made it then you get to this level and if you thought staying on the track

[02:40:05] was hard before this track has ice physics so you just go flying all over the place

[02:40:11] so on this track way more than others i will just be teetering on the edge basically the entire time

[02:40:16] and that is just because it's impossible to stay on this track the most fun part

[02:40:22] of that this is the only level in the game with ice physics yeah no one has this this is the only level in the game with ice physics.

[02:40:24] No other level has this, it's just like oh yeah, ice physics, why not?

[02:40:31] Why don't we start showing these levels a couple of things really quick

[02:40:34] We talked about the attacks

[02:40:36] we have different

[02:40:38] ranges. We have short

[02:40:40] medium long which is I think square

[02:40:42] triangle as we mentioned earlier

[02:40:44] not knowing about it in a circle.

[02:40:46] Which by the way,

[02:40:47] I don't think a single runner knew

[02:40:48] that there was a medium attack.

[02:40:50] Yeah,

[02:40:51] I've done runs of this before

[02:40:52] with commentary

[02:40:53] and I've just said like

[02:40:54] yeah those two attacks

[02:40:54] are short and long

[02:40:55] but did not know there was one.

[02:40:57] Joester DM'd me saying, there's a medium

[02:40:59] attack. I was like, what do you mean there's a medium

[02:41:01] attack?

[02:41:03] Like nobody knew. Yeah,

[02:41:05] there's a way to attack medium.

[02:41:08] I actually think when I told Punchy that

[02:41:10] and he said how did you not know that?

[02:41:12] And my response was well why didn't

[02:41:14] you tell me that because it would have

[02:41:15] helped me a lot.

[02:41:16] He didn't even feel we were up the game

[02:41:17] because he told us!

[02:41:19] Well if you can read the manual

[02:41:20] you could have told me that

[02:41:21] Even though if you look at the manual

[02:41:22] It's very obvious that Triangle does something

[02:41:24] Right

[02:41:24] Also I can't read Japanese

[02:41:25] I can't read the manual

[02:41:26] I just thought the game looked cool

[02:41:28] I wanted to play it.

[02:41:28] That's how I roll.

[02:41:30] Also another thing about this game we talked earlier

[02:41:32] that the game didn't mean about hints and jumping

[02:41:34] so there is one hint about jumping

[02:41:36] and the games not totally mean except its really mean The only hint is like at the. And the game's not totally mean, except it's really mean.

[02:41:40] The only hint is that like I think three

[02:41:42] guitars will show up before you jump?

[02:41:44] They're shovels, I think. They're shovels?!

[02:41:46] I thought they were guitars for the longest time too and I'm pretty sure

[02:41:48] I've said that but they are shovels. By the way,

[02:41:50] that's your hint. Those three little things.

[02:41:53] That's it. You get nothing else.

[02:41:55] But you do get lucky. Yeah.

[02:41:56] I got lucky once again.

[02:42:04] So you'll notice here I did not get that bug and the music is playing. You can see how much longer this screen takes to go away than it does when that music does not play.

[02:42:09] If anyone can figure out

[02:42:12] what actually causes that

[02:42:14] and find a setup for it please let me know because

[02:42:16] I would not be surprised if my theory is just completely

[02:42:18] inaccurate and its just completely

[02:42:20] random or there's some other thing that causes it. So this level

[02:42:23] would you like to

[02:42:25] explain? Yeah, sure. There's two things

[02:42:27] with this level. One, it's really

[02:42:29] laggy. And

[02:42:31] two is there's actually a split path on this level, and taking the split paths saves

[02:42:35] a ton of time. Probably about a minute over the course of the track if you do it three times

[02:42:39] You can count the frames here, it's very bad.

[02:42:45] And uh... It's actually difficult to take

[02:42:48] the split paths in this game you can't just approach

[02:42:51] the fork and press the direction you want to go

[02:42:53] you have to like swing into the turn,

[02:42:55] so I'm going to stay on the right here and then swing to the left in order to

[02:42:58] go this way. And that cuts out like three quarters of

[02:43:01] the track it actually makes us like the shortest level in the game.

[02:43:04] We also need to land this three times.

[02:43:06] Now if that looked easy, I'll tell you right now from experience it is not!

[02:43:10] Well it happens very often so you're not hugging the exact white

[02:43:13] The game will just decide oh do you to go the right path because i think

[02:43:16] white path is default yeah and it takes so much longer to actually send down the right path

[02:43:21] it's also that because the split path has two jumps immediately and you cannot react to them

[02:43:28] you just have to know they're there or you will fall in

[02:43:30] to at least the first one and probably the second one too

[02:43:34] yeah with this little tap levels you were close king i think what you wanted to say was Yeah, with the slow-pat levels...

[02:43:38] You were close King. I think what you wanted to say was

[02:43:46] Alright so we're on the second boss level of the game, and this one...

[02:43:47] Honestly I think this is one of the toughest ones in the game.

[02:43:49] Say it out loud.

[02:43:50] This guy is very aggressive.

[02:43:52] Luckily his attacks do less damage than the later bosses

[02:43:55] so you can just kind of tank your way through him um the one of the good things about

[02:44:00] this boss is the laps for the boss fight itself are actually extremely short yeah

[02:44:05] so this is by far the most viable boss to just do three laps and win.

[02:44:12] But I'm going to try and stay at as high health as possible.

[02:44:17] Okay, I did not want to get the health freeze over there.

[02:44:18] I tried to jump over it but I jumped too early.

[02:44:21] I don't know.

[02:44:21] I'm going to take a moment really quick

[02:44:22] to ask not only Joe's crew

[02:44:23] but I guess anyone watching

[02:44:25] what do you think they're throwing?

[02:44:26] I always thought it was oranges

[02:44:27] but like I have no idea

[02:44:28] what the hell they're actually throwing.

[02:44:31] Okay. I thought it was oranges, but like I have no idea what the hell they're actually growing.

[02:44:44] Okay health isn't great here, but let's see if we can kill this deer on a log looking dude. This is not good.

[02:44:46] This is the boss right here, he is quite tough It is awkward as well

[02:44:48] Oh we got him

[02:44:49] That was close See got it oh we got him

[02:44:52] that was close so you see i didn't have

[02:44:54] much help left there but yeah like this

[02:44:56] one's me it is always i think the

[02:44:58] meanest ones because you mentioned how

[02:44:59] aggressive it is yeah and the guys

[02:45:01] consistently just uh these bosses have two

[02:45:04] modes nothing and fill the screen with an attack you can't dodge and that guy likes option b a lot

[02:45:10] and just the way the boss will kind of act really changes what kind of throw you want to do.

[02:45:14] The close throws are nice, but long throws tend to hit a lot more consistently.

[02:45:18] You get more close throws, you get more damage if you can actually hit them.

[02:45:21] Right.

[02:45:22] It doesn't always work yeah honestly the

[02:45:25] short attack in this game is kind of crap so i almost never use it medium and long range are just

[02:45:30] superior in 98 percent of situations.

[02:45:35] So this track is actually interesting in that

[02:45:36] it's deceptively hard because

[02:45:39] getting the health refill on this level

[02:45:40] is actually really hard, because

[02:45:42] it's like underneath a part of the track where you have to jump off

[02:45:46] and it's very easy to jump over it um it's also very easy to get hit on this track because those

[02:45:51] uh stone pillars are random so they can be in the middle,

[02:45:56] the left,

[02:45:56] the right.

[02:45:57] And it's very hard to get through there without getting hit.

[02:45:59] I got lucky on that first lap there and didn't take any damage.

[02:46:05] Pretty much the more laps that get no damage,

[02:46:07] the better you feel about the game every single time

[02:46:09] because some of the levels in this game

[02:46:11] get really bad later on.

[02:46:13] Oh!

[02:46:14] Yeah so I didn't want to get that but...

[02:46:16] We got the blue jumper early

[02:46:18] oh that's bad all right it is going well

[02:46:21] that's all right these mine guys are really obnoxious yeah Yeah.

[02:46:32] And again, there's only one health pickup per level so I accidentally got it on the first lap here

[02:46:36] So now I can't get it again.

[02:46:39] Yeah, that one in particular we were talking about

[02:46:41] it's really awkward to hook up

[02:46:43] because it's...I think you have to jump

[02:46:45] like really early to actually grab

[02:46:47] it. It's an awkward time. And if you jump while

[02:46:49] getting hit, you go flying which is fast

[02:46:51] but

[02:46:57] I pressed circle like five times there and nothing happened, so that was very cool.

[02:47:02] Hopefully that does not become a recurring theme in this game.

[02:47:07] Alright we're looking good or should I say lucky?

[02:47:11] Lucky. If you got donations, this is a great time here.

[02:47:28] I do have donations! Jay sent in 25 and says ice physics on the track might be the most evil

[02:47:36] design decision i have ever witnessed i gotta say I agree with that.

[02:47:46] I also have a donation here for $10 from Nillia who says

[02:47:49] Audience hype!

[02:47:53] Love the energy even in the middle of the. And then there's a cute smiley face on it.

[02:47:57] Name A Vesa sent in $30 says greetings from Finland.

[02:48:01] My first ever donation to anything on this platform, and I'm glad it goes to a good cause.

[02:48:07] Fight the good fight, game fast! Can't wait to see what silliness will be coming up next on this block...

[02:48:13] Me neither. will be coming up next on this block me neither

[02:48:16] all right so this level is like honestly i feel like it's one of the easier levels because you

[02:48:21] kind of go underwater a lot of things I think the main thing they test you on

[02:48:25] is one, the shark has an odd delay, which

[02:48:27] we avoid there, and also there's those

[02:48:29] like weird swords that will drop down

[02:48:31] in the middle of this. Those are two

[02:48:33] major things. Those clamshells, as far as I can tell are just random uh which one closes on

[02:48:39] which lap is not consistent at all so i didn't realize they're playing like I thought it was like swords or something.

[02:48:46] I think they're just big clam shells.

[02:48:47] You're definitely right,

[02:48:48] they look like clam shells.

[02:48:49] It's very hard to actually make out the detail

[02:48:52] of anything in this game,

[02:48:53] which is a shame.

[02:48:53] Well yeah,

[02:48:54] it's flying by!

[02:48:55] Because the enemies and all the sprites

[02:48:57] are actually very detailed but

[02:48:59] you can't really tell.

[02:49:01] Like I don't want to say it, Joseph's making moves

[02:49:03] very easy if you play this game

[02:49:05] It feels like you can barely control your

[02:49:07] your car a lot of people when they start they they can't control the cart

[02:49:11] yeah that's uh yeah without the feel for how the card controls this game is

[02:49:16] impossible because you will just fall off all the time yeah when you start

[02:49:20] it's a lot of like left right left right left right just try and stay on the track then you

[02:49:23] realize that there's like enemies and then it's rough but we are lucky we are we are always lucky

[02:49:35] that's we're approaching our third boss level coming up here yeah this

[02:49:38] this guy is scary.

[02:49:41] This guy

[02:49:42] is probably the most likely

[02:49:43] boss to kill me, maybe even more

[02:49:45] likely than the final boss.

[02:49:46] Like most bosses his difficulty varies a lot.

[02:49:52] Sometimes he's just hilariously easy and you wonder how could you possibly die to this guy?

[02:49:58] And then sometimes you die in five seconds.

[02:50:00] Honestly I think this is probably one of the

[02:50:02] hardest boss tracks.

[02:50:03] Or bosses at least.

[02:50:06] I actually think this track

[02:50:07] is one of the easier ones. But the boss

[02:50:09] part is the hardest part because there's so many

[02:50:11] blind turns yeah you can't actually see

[02:50:13] what he's throwing at you or where

[02:50:15] he's starting usually there's one of

[02:50:16] these jumps i think it's like the uh

[02:50:18] the one that turns left right on the

[02:50:19] boss spawn

[02:50:21] yeah that one's always helping.

[02:50:23] So this track is great because you actually don't fire a weapon before you cross the starting line

[02:50:27] You'll get hit by an enemy that spawns on top of you so it's very cool

[02:50:31] Um The viewset's very cool.

[02:50:34] And the track is rather short, but they do have some mean enemy spawns as we go along...

[02:50:39] which is right about...

[02:50:48] Hopefully we'll get a good pattern and hopefully uh, hope we have no problems.

[02:50:52] One advantage here of the long range attack too is that

[02:50:55] the enemies can actually run into the explosion of the

[02:50:57] attack because it lingers. And so, that's why it's really

[02:50:59] good especially on bosses cause they can just run

[02:51:01] into it and it still hurts them. Alright let's see if we

[02:51:04] can get this guy on the first go

[02:51:06] all right here we go

[02:51:11] this guy is like a pirate who throws waves

[02:51:13] and watermelons at you it's such an odd combination of attacks but

[02:51:18] you want to see more watermelons than waves waves are the battle type i just actually disagree i

[02:51:23] want to see waves really waves are Waves are easy to dodge.

[02:51:27] I always thought the watermelons,

[02:51:28] they can see but like the waves and

[02:51:29] like okay it's a whole stream.

[02:51:33] Oh, I'm in trouble here.

[02:51:34] Hold on!

[02:51:35] Hold!

[02:51:37] Yes! There it is!

[02:51:40] Quite lucky if you ask me.

[02:51:44] Very happy I got past that guy.

[02:51:46] Again so in comparison that second boss all those things

[02:51:50] he throws all those like acorns and stuff they were filling the screen they all did 10 percent

[02:51:54] so you kind of just sit there and take it everything that guy throws does 20 so if

[02:51:59] you get hit five times you're dead and i got hit three times and fell off once which counts as

[02:52:04] another hit um so i'm very happy i got past that guy. It's, you know, one in three

[02:52:09] that I actually beat that guy on the first track

[02:52:11] in a run.

[02:52:13] Nine out of fifteen down we are entering

[02:52:15] the final two hubs of the game.

[02:52:17] This track has the worst noob trap in the game.

[02:52:19] Oh, yeah!

[02:52:20] And you'll see what I mean when we get there because it kills...

[02:52:25] I guarantee you it kills 100% of players on their first playthrough.

[02:52:33] So just pay attention to how the track is set up on the first two laps and then you'll see what happens you'll see why also we haven't really

[02:52:38] talked about it maybe wondering what does the score do so the

[02:52:41] score actually does have a really big also that's the trap right there no that's not

[02:52:45] that's not quite the trail i thought was one of them uh that's kind of if you actually jump off

[02:52:48] that you yeah it doesn't work you if you actually die if you jump there

[02:52:52] are you talking about the uh i'm talking about the last three things oh okay

[02:52:57] that one's me it's very mean i've already been hit way too many times on this level

[02:53:01] uh hopefully we should be okay

[02:53:04] yeah and he was a lot more aggressive here and uh oh i jumped over that's fine

[02:53:07] i can get it on the second lap because the enemies are still there the enemies at the

[02:53:09] end of the second lap are actually very easy to deal with yeah that one's mean especially when

[02:53:14] you start going through the laps because as we mentioned if you try jumping in that gap

[02:53:19] you will just fall into the void you have to roll into it, and so counterintuitive

[02:53:24] like oh what am I doing?

[02:53:26] Oh but for the points really

[02:53:28] quick, uh points actually decide

[02:53:30] ending you get. So depending on

[02:53:32] threshold that you hit you'll get a different end screen.

[02:53:35] Uh it's pretty minor to also beat

[02:53:37] the game with the game but if

[02:53:39] you get a high enough score it kind of just gives you cooler

[02:53:41] end screens. There are some other dogs

[02:53:43] and some other bees.... So here we go.

[02:53:44] So game slows down and puts a hole in the track right

[02:53:46] in front of you.

[02:53:49] And if you do not jump right when the track speeds back up,

[02:53:52] you will fall in it.

[02:53:53] So if you don't know that's there, good luck

[02:53:56] because I'm pretty sure

[02:53:58] it's not reactable.

[02:54:00] It's very, very evil.

[02:54:02] And that's a funny thing you said about the end screen

[02:54:04] because I thought it was always tied to whether you actually beat

[02:54:06] the game without game overing or not no it's a point threshold and just you know if you

[02:54:10] came over you're not gonna have as nearly as many points as someone who get in there

[02:54:14] almost through there by just falling off at the end for no reason but

[02:54:17] because i think i've seen like well i haven't seen all of them but like i know

[02:54:20] there's one with like dogs there's one they're at a theme park

[02:54:24] there's one where they're like at the beach

[02:54:25] i've only seen two of the pictures.

[02:54:27] Which ones?

[02:54:28] I've seen the one with the bunny outfit

[02:54:31] and then the one at the beach.

[02:54:32] I didn't even know

[02:54:32] there were more than those two.

[02:54:34] Yeah, there's one where

[02:54:34] they're straight up dogs.

[02:54:37] Oh, I didn't...

[02:54:37] Actual dogs. I did not know know that i don't know how you

[02:54:39] get that one uh i think you need a low score oh yeah look see i've even done just like the

[02:54:45] last three levels and still gotten the other picture.

[02:54:49] Might be the mid score. Yeah, I don't know.

[02:54:52] Although it's funny because

[02:54:53] I thought that but then earlier this week I had to run

[02:54:55] that game over it and then got the screen that I thought was

[02:54:57] the 1cc screen so I was very confused i don't know how that happened

[02:55:00] but if it's tied to score that actually makes sense

[02:55:04] all right some mad city too this one i always feel like kind of more chill

[02:55:08] yeah this has some cool enemy designs.

[02:55:11] Got these octopus dudes that throw vinyl at you.

[02:55:13] I think there are some dudes in lowriders and all those things.

[02:55:16] It's got... it's also got these...

[02:55:18] I call them Smurfs, these guys here,

[02:55:20] because they look exactly like Smurfs.

[02:55:22] I know the enemies in this game have names

[02:55:25] but I couldn't tell you what they are though.

[02:55:26] There's a whole roster of credits

[02:55:32] also there just random types that do giant pipes it's very hard to get through those without getting hit by any

[02:55:36] of them that's the worst i can't believe i can't believe i did that pipes

[02:55:51] also unfortunately it's a little hard to hear because i'm just like mashing fire the whole game, but the music in this game is awesome.

[02:55:56] Yeah,

[02:55:57] that's a part of a weird thing

[02:55:59] that happened in the 90s. There were a lot

[02:56:01] of Japan-only games that had ska soundtracks oh and like punk stock soundtracks

[02:56:07] like you have like i think it was uh like oh no was another big one oh no oh no is a good game

[02:56:11] yeah they had the uh to the Tokyo Sky Paradise in the soundtrack

[02:56:15] and this one I think they have like a whole band

[02:56:17] like hey we want a cool soundtrack to these songs

[02:56:19] you can actually just play the soundtrack on the disc

[02:56:22] Uh yeah you could do that in this game too

[02:56:23] it's the only other menu option besides playing

[02:56:26] the game is play the music.

[02:56:27] Anyway I think this level has been pretty lucky!

[02:56:30] Oh yeah very lucky. Thank you.

[02:56:41] We have a second to talk about some incentives here?

[02:56:41] Absolutely.

[02:56:47] All right, well we have Bid Wars open, friends, for the next three runs in the Philly block. The very next one, y'all can put your

[02:56:49] donation towards choosing

[02:56:51] the character in Muscle March

[02:56:53] Now I don't know a whole lot

[02:56:55] about these characters.

[02:56:58] All I know is that Tony

[02:56:59] is in the lead at $285.

[02:57:01] Rossi is in second place

[02:57:03] at $276.

[02:57:04] Brenda is in third place

[02:57:06] at $30.

[02:57:07] And then there have been no donations

[02:57:09] at all towards a baby,

[02:57:11] Pedroso or Rioja Mao.

[02:57:14] Now I don't know anything about any of these characters

[02:57:16] but if you want to know something about them,

[02:57:18] you want one of those

[02:57:19] to jump into the lead,

[02:57:21] do remember

[02:57:22] to click on that bid war

[02:57:25] when you're getting your donation in

[02:57:27] to Doctors Without Borders.

[02:57:32] All right. you're getting your donation in to doctors about foreigners all right so we are on the boss level of mad city or deep into the mad city so i actually think this track just the track is

[02:57:37] the hardest boss track it's's a mean one, personally.

[02:57:39] I find this one very hard and I've already been hit a lot.

[02:57:41] There are so many enemies to deal with

[02:57:43] and they're just like a variety.

[02:57:45] You have...

[02:57:45] My God, I don't even know what to call them.

[02:57:47] You have like the basketball octopus,

[02:57:49] the concrete chicks. Yeah chicks yeah you have so many

[02:57:51] that spawn weirdly too uh in between jumps and will last a long time yeah this uh this bear

[02:57:57] that these guys throw is does a ton of damage and just hit me from behind there which is very cool

[02:58:02] um so you really don't want to get hit by that i'm not in a good position because i've already

[02:58:07] got the health refill uh and i'm only at like 60 health or something luckily there is one upside to this level

[02:58:14] and in comparison to like hubs two and three this boss always feels a little bit easier

[02:58:20] i'm not sure why i think they're just has eaten long hits more than any other boss.

[02:58:25] So the thing with this boss is if you keep hitting the boss,

[02:58:29] It doesn't do any of the really nasty things.

[02:58:31] That would make sense. Okay!

[02:58:32] Because the really nasty things. That would make sense. Okay. Because the really

[02:58:33] nasty things are really nasty, but if you just

[02:58:35] keep hitting her she doesn't do them.

[02:58:38] But that doesn't

[02:58:39] mean it's just easy to like, you know, just hit

[02:58:41] the boss, you know? Right, like

[02:58:42] It's always one of those levels i feel like

[02:58:44] it's just like i don't see the attacks nearly as much as like the acorns oh yeah that is watermelons

[02:58:49] that is definitely true probably spamming the of what do you think the actual attacks are

[02:58:58] like oranges or something i always say they're orange right

[02:59:03] i don't know there's a boss, you're sort of hitting it repeatedly

[02:59:05] and it will walk into almost every hit.

[02:59:08] If we're playing it right,

[02:59:09] this should be good.

[02:59:11] There it is!

[02:59:18] Three more levels. So that boss again, there are two attacks it can do that are very bad.

[02:59:24] One is it drops a garbage can onto the track

[02:59:27] that bounces around and it's really hard to dodge

[02:59:29] like if you saw at the end of

[02:59:31] previous level those three wooden pillars

[02:59:33] I had to dodge

[02:59:35] And then there's also this weird attack where there's like this huge hamburger on a tether that just goes back and forth,

[02:59:39] and it just destroys you. So you don't want to see either of those attacks.

[02:59:43] Um...and luckily we did not so...

[02:59:46] Alright I guess quick update on the lore

[02:59:48] We've gone through all these areas

[02:59:50] like Mad Vegas or something

[02:59:52] so it's kind of weird. The plot of the game is that

[02:59:54] um, I don't remember the guy

[02:59:56] Dr. Panic or something made 15 coasters to impress his son

[02:59:59] His son has 3 coasters

[03:00:01] so we're fighting his sons' coasters

[03:00:03] which are generally just opulence in Vegas

[03:00:05] So that's the theme

[03:00:07] There is a lot of gold here. Yeah, a lot of gold.

[03:00:10] Funny enough I think level one

[03:00:11] is one of the easiest levels in

[03:00:12] the game and there are some hard

[03:00:14] things like I think there is

[03:00:15] a log later and some weird

[03:00:17] angles but when you're already

[03:00:18] doing so much this feels like a nice little I think you can see the log later and like some weird angles,

[03:00:19] but when you're already doing so much this feels like a nice break.

[03:00:23] I agree that for a late game track this is much easier than some of the –

[03:00:28] So we got this triple meat roller here.

[03:00:31] Uh, so actually jumping over all three of those is reasonably tricky.

[03:00:35] You have to time the first... you have to jump over the first one with

[03:00:39] pretty good timing in order to be able to jump over the other two

[03:00:42] without getting hit by them but i got on that first lap which is really good

[03:00:46] and the funny uh kind of ironic part is you mentioned this is one of the easiest tracks in the game.

[03:00:53] I think the next sort of like hardest track...

[03:00:55] Oh yeah, the next one's very hard.

[03:00:57] They're mean! They are really mean coming up but

[03:00:59] This one is a nice little break of like, hey, maybe we're not going to suffer.

[03:01:08] On lap three there's an extra enemy there which can throw you off but I managed to kill him.

[03:01:13] Also the idea of the level that's why it is all gold

[03:01:16] is like...I guess lore wise

[03:01:18] the guy used to design roller coasters for his son

[03:01:20] and then he grew out liking roller coasters

[03:01:22] because he liked money women and food

[03:01:25] which i get it like

[03:01:37] all right so as aice has mentioned this next level is evil. So the-this next level has two split paths. The problem

[03:01:41] is that there's only one combination of paths that actually takes you through the lap.

[03:01:46] So if you go the wrong way in this level,

[03:01:48] you'll just go in circles and not complete laps,

[03:01:51] which threw me off the first time I played this.

[03:01:53] You're doing laps for three minutes and you're like,

[03:01:55] when is this track going to end? And then you realize you're still on lap one.

[03:02:00] But that is one of the reasons this track is hard. Second

[03:02:03] is the enemies... The nanana-enem enemies as I call them are horrible.

[03:02:07] And third is the start section of this level has a trillion pieces of food that are falling down

[03:02:12] and you almost always get hit by at least one of them. Maybe even more, so...

[03:02:17] That's the luck!

[03:02:19] Here we go.

[03:02:23] Yeah this level always kind of reminds me

[03:02:25] of the level from earlier in the woods

[03:02:27] Where it's, oh you want to take

[03:02:28] The correct path

[03:02:30] Which always isn't the easiest

[03:02:32] In terms of the path we do want to take

[03:02:35] I want to say it's like two lefts

[03:02:36] Two lefts

[03:02:37] Yeah both

[03:02:37] It's easier than you think it is It's one of those things I want to say it's like two lefts. Two lefts, yeah both left on both of them.

[03:02:38] It's easier than you think it is

[03:02:39] and it's one of those things

[03:02:40] that if you're not thinking about

[03:02:41] you're not going to get it.

[03:02:42] Level does end up being much shorter

[03:02:44] but there are just so many obstacles in this level

[03:02:46] that even knowing the path

[03:02:48] and even knowing the cheese at this level it's still really hard especially if you

[03:02:51] end up getting some of these uh enemies like right on the turn when

[03:02:55] you're trying to avoid them you might accidentally take the wrong turn and

[03:02:57] then it gets really bad yeah you really don't want to take the wrong turn, and then it gets really bad. Yeah, you really don't want to

[03:02:59] take a wrong turn here.

[03:03:02] Okay, good.

[03:03:03] I didn't need it,

[03:03:05] but I'm very glad

[03:03:06] that I got that.

[03:03:07] Alright, we've got one more lap

[03:03:08] and we are looking

[03:03:08] pretty good right now.

[03:03:12] Lot of enemies here so it can be very tricky.

[03:03:14] Absolutely.

[03:03:16] I always hear once you make the jump your more home free...

[03:03:23] And...

[03:03:23] Okay, that was the last enemy. We're good.

[03:03:26] We're quite lucky!

[03:03:34] Alright. All right, one more level.

[03:03:35] It is the final boss.

[03:03:41] So unlike the other bosses in the game, this boss is different.

[03:03:43] There aren't three laps and then you fight the boss.

[03:03:45] This is just, you fight the boss and there is no survive

[03:03:47] X lapse and win. There is only

[03:03:48] kill this guy or be killed. Those are the only two

[03:03:51] options. Which he has his own

[03:03:53] coaster cart, let's just say that.

[03:03:55] Assuming I actually beat this guy on

[03:03:57] the first try, time will be when the characters

[03:03:59] turn back towards the screen.

[03:04:02] But it's reasonably

[03:04:04] likely that he will kill me.

[03:04:06] This is a very hard fight.

[03:04:09] I know several people

[03:04:10] have told me that they tried playing through the game

[03:04:12] and got to this point and just gave up.

[03:04:14] And I'm going to basically exclusively use

[03:04:16] the long-range attack here because the other ones are bad.

[03:04:19] So, I'm just going to basically mash square

[03:04:20] for the entire fight. Here we go.

[03:04:23] All right. See, he has his golden throne

[03:04:25] He has a bunch of money and I guess chicks on his side

[03:04:29] And that's how he attacks

[03:04:30] He just throws some money at you

[03:04:32] Yeah, I'm off to a bad start here because I've already been hit twice but

[03:04:35] Also those golden turtles

[03:04:40] at you I think? Yeah, I think that's what

[03:04:42] those are. And bags of money

[03:04:43] Also, I think this is one of the only coasters in the game that has no gem

[03:04:48] oh that's correct there's no refill on this one you just got to go for it

[03:04:55] this is a really i'm probably going to die here.

[03:04:56] Also, I don't know a game that has more phases of a fight than this game.

[03:05:00] Luckily the game is generous if we do end up eating a death here

[03:05:03] We can continue straight from this fight

[03:05:06] It still is hard, I'll be wrong,

[03:05:08] but it is at least nicer than having to go back

[03:05:11] to like Mad City 1.

[03:05:12] Oh yeah.

[03:05:14] My estimate would be way higher

[03:05:15] if that was how the game worked.

[03:05:16] All right, so now the hard part starts.

[03:05:22] Yeah, so he turns

[03:05:23] into a head and then you need to hit him.

[03:05:25] He'll throw waves

[03:05:27] of fire golden turtles and...

[03:05:29] I don't remember if he does the money bag.

[03:05:30] I think it's just those two.

[03:05:31] No money bags in this phase.

[03:05:33] I totally ran into that fire

[03:05:34] and it didn't hit me so we'll take it.

[03:05:35] The golden turtle is always one

[03:05:36] of the most brutal attacks.

[03:05:37] It covers the whole screen.

[03:05:38] So I stay intentionally on the edge of the most brutal attacks so cover the whole screen so i stay

[03:05:39] intentionally stay on the edge of the track against this guy because if he throws the

[03:05:43] golden turtle attack on the while you're on the edge it like half of it goes off this track

[03:05:47] and it's much easier to dodge it that way. That doesn't make it, you know...

[03:05:51] It still can be impossible

[03:05:53] to dodge.

[03:05:55] So in terms of range

[03:05:57] he does go in and out of your intended

[03:05:59] range. However long, as I mentioned earlier

[03:06:02] are mostly preferred because

[03:06:03] long attacks almost always will have the

[03:06:05] little afterburn carry over and

[03:06:07] bosses very often run into that.

[03:06:09] This guy in particular runs into it a lot he loves doing that uh you can't

[03:06:13] hit him with some other attacks but you have to be like you know we have the hope he actually gets

[03:06:16] an arrange which just too long just too long yeah'm in a really bad shape here.

[03:06:23] In terms of health,

[03:06:24] I think the larger his head gets,

[03:06:26] that's the health.

[03:06:27] I was looking more and more beat up as we go

[03:06:29] which it's looking pretty good

[03:06:31] but we still have a lot to work.

[03:06:32] Yeah, I'm not particularly close here.

[03:06:34] I'm in trouble.

[03:06:35] I'm probably going to die here.

[03:06:39] Hopefully we can maybe have everyone cheer on Joester. so so Yes!

[03:07:25] Jeff Litz found Panacoster. Yes! There it is, Deathless Bad Panda Coaster.

[03:07:31] My God you landed it.

[03:07:33] And I got the audio bug on the final boss there.

[03:07:35] Oh my god that's time by the way yeah that was time

[03:07:39] let's go oh my god man that was let's freaking go and there's the best cussing you can get

[03:07:45] they're at the beach having a good time. What a run.

[03:07:48] And then, in the first line of the credits, they spelled

[03:07:50] executive wrong here, which is very hilarious.

[03:07:53] Executive.

[03:07:55] So, that's

[03:07:56] Mad PanicCoaster.

[03:07:58] I probably got a high score, so I'll type it in after the credits roll here

[03:08:02] and she will take a minute.

[03:08:05] Yeah, I think I've only done that five or six times ever

[03:08:09] before this one, and

[03:08:11] like three of them were this week in practice.

[03:08:14] So I'm very happy

[03:08:15] I got that. That had some very close calls,

[03:08:18] but that was

[03:08:19] a tense final boss

[03:08:22] and the captain boss

[03:08:23] was very intense too.

[03:08:25] Hey, Joe, really quick.

[03:08:26] What's your PB?

[03:08:27] 34-10 is the record.

[03:08:29] Oh, it's close!

[03:08:30] 3449.

[03:08:31] So getting a 34 deathless

[03:08:33] is very, very hard.

[03:08:36] So that's a very good run. Yeah, I think my PB got a couple more of the audio bugs and had maybe a better fight or something on a boss.

[03:08:53] Which is really the only way to save time

[03:08:57] the nice thing about the credits in this game is you actually get to see all the enemies in detail you get to see what they all look like because you couldn't really tell while the game was going on it just so fast yeah

[03:09:07] but yeah thanks uh thanks to gdq for letting me run this game

[03:09:10] um i've been submitting submitted this a few times,

[03:09:14] I thought it'd be a perfect silly block game because

[03:09:16] it's kind of a goofy game but it's a hard

[03:09:20] game to do in a marathon because it's very easy to die um so the fact that i got

[03:09:26] through without dying is uh i am still happy i'm very happy with that like i was holding at

[03:09:31] the end there that was that was something i'm glad everyone's here and the

[03:09:35] game ends in a very wholesome message here and the game says have a nice day so nice day everyone

[03:09:42] so let's uh let's see where my uh where this score is going to end up.

[03:09:45] We're gonna get a high score here.

[03:09:50] Now we're gonna go...

[03:09:52] I pressed X even though it said JGame.

[03:09:57] Oops, that's that's right i type but hold on i can fix it oh i didn't guess you did not know you could fix it all right hold on well now we

[03:10:01] know either for uh gqd but gt yeah there we go. Thank you GD! Number three!

[03:10:07] Joe! Number three! I didn't even know that run!

[03:10:12] So thanks again for having me, Thanks to Rick Dysus

[03:10:16] for helping with some of the commentary

[03:10:18] because this is a game that's hard to play

[03:16:44] Are you saying that you were in a mad panic?

[03:16:46] I wasn't in a bad panic!

[03:16:47] Maybe even on a coaster.

[03:17:06] I want to mention by the way, Jua told me and Starwin

[03:17:08] to literally not watch anything about this run

[03:17:41] The bear?!

[03:17:42] The bear!

[03:17:44] Alright, this is all levels. We're gonna play through all the levels.

[03:17:47] Time starts... 3... 2... 1...

[03:17:52] Alright, so there's lore for this if you do not know.

[03:17:56] There's lore?

[03:17:58] I thought that our muscles were marching.

[03:17:59] A thief actually steals protein shakes and we're just gonna take it back right now.

[03:18:03] Protein shakes?!

[03:18:05] And the gist of the game is just to do all these

[03:18:11] there we go well we just waited out for a bit we saw

[03:18:15] them match the poses here?

[03:18:19] This game is literally posing through floors!

[03:18:21] Starwin are you posing? You're gonna miss it dude!

[03:18:23] Get ya!

[03:18:25] For the audience.

[03:18:27] If you see a banana peel like this just go weeeeee!

[03:18:31] Ready?

[03:18:33] Weeee!

[03:18:34] He's gone!

[03:18:40] Uh... I only have to do it like this and that's about it. This is how I play the game, so it's just pointing up down...

[03:18:44] Here comes another!

[03:18:45] Weeeeee!

[03:18:46] Dude, they're just like eating the wall.

[03:18:49] But yeah, uh if you ever... oh wait.

[03:18:53] If you've never seen Hole in the Wall or played Hole in the Wall this is like the same concept. It was made by Ben Dynanko

[03:19:00] in, uh, like a week.

[03:19:02] I don't know why they wanted to make this game

[03:19:04] in like a week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They made this game

[03:19:06] in a week. They were supposed to put

[03:19:08] this game in, like,ades, and it did not do

[03:19:11] that. And they just put it on the WiiWare. So

[03:19:12] if you ever bought this game on the WiiWare,

[03:19:15] good job. It's

[03:19:17] a rare game now.

[03:19:19] Oh, is that why we're all saying

[03:19:32] it's the average animal life of Jack. Oh wait, there's more!

[03:19:34] They just gave you a little bit of mercy!

[03:19:36] That's an alien!

[03:19:38] Nooooooo

[03:19:40] We got a space alien out here.

[03:19:45] Everyone just wants to be Chad?

[03:19:50] I wanna be the Chad.

[03:19:52] I get it dude, that's what we're be the Chad. You wanna be the Chad? I get it, dude!

[03:19:53] That's where we have to flex.

[03:19:55] Go flex with the characters, like...

[03:19:58] Sporetti, if you have any donations

[03:19:59] you can read them right now.

[03:20:01] I do Yorkies and in $50 says Yo Juho GDQ Yorkie said, at $50 says, yo Juho and GDQ,

[03:20:04] Yorkie here wishing you the best for an amazing run of flexing muscles

[03:20:07] and marching your way to the goal.

[03:20:11] Shout-outs to Yorkie.

[03:20:12] Yorkie is a really good person

[03:20:16] uh he introduced me to this game um funny enough

[03:20:19] also banana peel floating in the middle

[03:20:23] so they introduce you to the game yeah he introduced me to this game. He said,

[03:20:27] uh, Jiho! Get this game, don't ask! And I played

[03:20:31] this game and was like...

[03:20:36] Alright here we go.

[03:20:37] And now look where you're at.

[03:20:38] Yeah,

[03:20:39] I don't know how this happened

[03:20:40] but it does happen to me.

[03:20:42] I need protein.

[03:20:44] I can feel it.

[03:20:47] You gotta shake the ground protein i can feel it

[03:20:52] i feel like she went to the gym before this run that's a fat man doing a workout over here

[03:21:01] yeah you just have to like match the poses. There are like a few moments that I can see.

[03:21:05] Alright here we go. Get them alien! GET THEM!

[03:21:07] Back up tag, hog tie him.

[03:21:09] All right, who's still the protein this time?

[03:21:10] I know it's getting stolen again.

[03:21:12] You don't have to approach that.

[03:21:12] This is the last person we're going to see.

[03:21:14] I would have never guessed that.

[03:21:16] It is a Pepsi Man guy. guy legally distinct but he also uh he also twerks as you can tell

[03:21:22] mega pepsi yeah get him Yeah. GET EM!

[03:21:32] Dude, these songs are a vibe. They ARE a vibe.

[03:21:34] So um...

[03:21:36] There are like three antagonists or three thieves in this game.

[03:21:40] Each level, each yeah,

[03:21:41] each level there's like three thieves and what?

[03:21:47] So this one is

[03:21:48] the fastest I had to react to because a lot of these poses

[03:21:51] are kind of just reactive and also uh it would trick you like so much as well

[03:21:57] yeah notice the alien tried to joke here a couple times times. Yeah, yeah, so I had to

[03:22:01] really focus on

[03:22:05] when the last person actually goes away

[03:22:09] Alright Here we go, focus shy for me!

[03:22:14] Alright here we go.

[03:22:17] Weeeeee!

[03:22:18] Oh my g- where did he go?! Oh my goodness Where did he go?

[03:22:23] Oh no

[03:22:24] It really is a muscle march

[03:22:31] Let's go It really is a muscle march.

[03:22:35] Let's go! Dude, he is vibing!

[03:22:37] Let's go! He's trying to juke me!

[03:22:41] Get the boy! I can't keep up anymore.

[03:22:49] Alright, that's one level down.

[03:22:53] We got the congratulations screen.

[03:22:57] Why are they allowed to dance with us?

[03:22:59] They robbed us of protein!

[03:23:03] Alright, so at the end you get a result screen and that's about it.

[03:23:05] Who is THAT?

[03:23:06] He's just... who he is!

[03:23:08] I got the muscle bar.

[03:23:09] He's ultimate muscle.

[03:23:12] This is level 1. We're going to choose Vasi again,

[03:23:15] and then we're gonna go

[03:23:16] to the village!

[03:23:18] I need your sweatband.

[03:23:20] So we get different characters

[03:23:22] along the way

[03:23:22] just like Kappa, so...

[03:23:23] MSF has some great

[03:23:25] cooling telepathy, right? So, like... MSF has some great cooling towels.

[03:23:27] So like for Twitch chat, if you want to just Kappa in the chat, Kappa.

[03:23:35] Dude where did I get that underwear? Yo!

[03:23:39] You wanna know something?

[03:23:41] I just like how this skinny

[03:23:43] turtle-like kappa

[03:23:45] is making the hole.

[03:23:48] And then it's super muscular and such.

[03:23:54] Missed tie in merchandising opportunity for those underwears.

[03:25:04] Oh my god...

[03:25:07] Hey, secret lore. Brenda is really Cheryl.

[03:25:36] Why have we been matching?

[03:25:39] Yeah, yeah.

[03:25:41] We've been doing it.

[03:25:43] I'm cool with the poses.

[03:25:44] Do not make me to a dog pile though. Listen, I'm cool with the poses. Do not make me do a dog pile though.

[03:25:45] Listen, I was really scared that I would be freezing in this outfit but I am sweating.

[03:25:51] You're just sweating? I'm freezing man!

[03:25:54] Oh yeah you're not doing the poses.

[03:25:56] I guess you need the dog pile.

[03:25:58] He's like, pose?

[03:26:02] It's the motion controls that helps me.

[03:26:05] Get him! that helps me. One of the posts I drew him from now on. Get a... Yeah!

[03:26:08] All right, Sean,

[03:26:09] you're going to have

[03:26:09] to do that

[03:26:09] on the next level.

[03:26:10] You're going to have

[03:26:10] to run across

[03:26:11] the stage

[03:26:12] and just tackle

[03:26:13] somebody

[03:26:14] if you don't know who.

[03:26:14] I don't think

[03:26:15] I can make it

[03:26:15] all the way over there.

[03:26:16] That's pretty nice. I don't think I can make it all the way over there, that's pretty far.

[03:26:17] You know what? From that side of the camera to this side.

[03:26:20] Someone will come on.

[03:26:22] Just check with a router!

[03:26:23] I'll give one quick shoutout real quick.

[03:26:25] Shoutouts to UFOtechie if anyone knows yes uh he ran this game

[03:26:31] back in gdqx 2019 on this level specifically and he only did like one level.

[03:26:41] I am very happy to continue the tradition, and actually show all levels

[03:26:43] so uh yeah

[03:26:45] Alright

[03:26:47] This game is such a vibe. It IS such a vibe!

[03:26:49] Funny enough, I think the like...

[03:26:52] I think like, Bandai Namco actually stole these music for some reason?

[03:26:56] I don't know why.

[03:26:58] How do they steal music?! I don't know why.

[03:27:00] How do they steal music?

[03:27:03] I think it's called licensing, Drew.

[03:27:05] Maybe he knows licensing.

[03:27:08] He'll go with me focusing right now.

[03:27:13] Cheryl no! Tell you what if you want a real workout

[03:27:15] You have to do the pose the blue guy is doing

[03:27:55] Ergon Tiger's eyes ended in $5 and said

[03:27:57] if you drop the protein shake during a takedown

[03:28:02] Ooh, yay.

[03:28:04] I get it.

[03:28:06] Alright, last level station.

[03:28:08] That's space station.

[03:44:54] Take it away, my friends. That's not a good first sound.

[03:45:09] Well, well, well here we are. Hi everybody my name is Vice Senator Tim and I'm here with...

[03:45:14] C Average! And we are joined by our friends

[03:45:19] Zik

[03:45:19] Beat

[03:45:20] And this is City Bus Driver Simulator

[03:45:24] I don't know what this is. I wasn't told before

[03:45:26] Yeah

[03:45:27] We can pretty well jump right into it but uh we do need that big war oh absolutely

[03:45:33] all right so it looks like blue miku really slid into the lead there.

[03:45:39] Let's go!

[03:45:40] Blue Miku is our winner.

[03:45:41] Let's go!

[03:45:44] Alright, so we are going to be picking up blue miku skin and for tech time it's going to start

[03:45:50] is since we hit next after selecting level one.

[03:45:52] So why don't we get into it?

[03:45:53] Can we get a countdown for the crowd?

[03:45:56] Five, four, three, two, one. Let's go!

[03:46:01] Alright so first thing we have to do

[03:46:03] is actually start our bus

[03:46:05] but we can do that behind this menu

[03:46:07] for reasons

[03:46:09] Almost everything in this game has collision except for that bus.

[03:46:13] But like, everything has like collision-collision

[03:46:17] If you hit it, it does not move and you stop

[03:46:20] That includes even the garbage bags on the street.

[03:46:23] So in order to find out what could possibly be, like,

[03:46:28] in those garbage bags,

[03:46:30] we recruited famous science video game YouTuber, ADEF

[03:46:33] to do some math for us. I think the bear back there has

[03:46:37] some math for us and yeah, the music just stops. Don't worry about it.

[03:46:41] Don't worry! Don't worry about it it we're looking at math right now yeah so uh

[03:46:45] can you please explain to us this math nope no not at all

[03:46:55] a brief explanation uh basically adef and i crunched the

[03:46:58] numbers with the two densest materials

[03:47:00] known to man osmium and tungsten

[03:47:03] and in order for those trash bags to stop us dead in our tracks

[03:47:08] uh they would have to have what like 79 gallons of osmium or 92.

[03:47:13] 93.1 it's a lot these are the trash

[03:47:16] cans we're talking about if you look at my

[03:47:18] view

[03:47:22] Oh quick I gotta

[03:47:24] park sorry hold on I'm throwing Oh, quick. I gotta park. Sorry. Hold on. I gotta park.

[03:47:27] That is not how you park.

[03:47:30] I don't know.

[03:47:31] I got credit for it. Passing grade right here.

[03:47:34] Alright.

[03:47:36] Now, I'm gonna move them on to music again yeah there's music

[03:47:40] yeah and now it's gone oh my this is not a game.

[03:47:50] Believe it or not we actually found tech in the game this week

[03:47:54] Besides the fact that we have an entire story

[03:47:56] about trying to find out how to unlock all the skins.

[03:47:59] If you notice on this map here, we have two waypoints up.

[03:48:03] Normally you're supposed to go in sequential order but both of the waypoints are up

[03:48:07] so we're just going to go ahead and go to

[03:48:09] the second waypoint that's available

[03:48:11] and the game is just going to give us

[03:48:13] credit for all the bus stops like

[03:48:15] oh yeah, the people got off that definitely

[03:48:17] got on the bus.

[03:48:18] You just abandoned those people he kidnapped

[03:48:21] the people oh yeah that skybox looks good yeah oh boy oh get out of the way!

[03:48:34] The rival bus drivers are out. No! No! Stop!

[03:48:39] Yeah so...

[03:48:40] See this is your chance to win the lead.

[03:48:42] The AI in the game

[03:48:43] does not care about you

[03:48:46] or really any other vehicle.

[03:48:48] It just will do

[03:48:50] what it wants. I'm going to go go this way can the ai go in reverse no

[03:48:57] hold it bolding you to assume there is something intelligent driving these cars

[03:49:03] i almost hit the restart button, though.

[03:49:04] Oh, that would have been bad.

[03:49:06] I enjoy that it doesn't pick

[03:49:07] the next level for you.

[03:49:09] No, it doesn't.

[03:49:10] Next is...

[03:49:12] Next, you're going to go pick the next level, not next here let's go to the next level.

[03:49:17] This is the other level that we found that we can just only do the last bus stop.

[03:49:22] So we're going to do gonna enjoy enjoy the speed tech while it lasts

[03:49:26] it doesn't work in any other level except for these two because all

[03:49:31] the waypoints are just up for that i swear bus but oh he is stopped oh boy okay

[03:49:42] all right you did not care lock in come on get through it lock in. Come on get through it!

[03:49:44] Lock in!

[03:49:49] If you ever want a game...

[03:49:52] Oh the car doesn't like the bus.

[03:49:58] Yeah I would assume that's how the road works

[03:50:03] sounds like all boohoo you didn't get three buses blocking your no that that's coming later I already feel it in my bones the amount of road rage I'm about to unleash on this thing.

[03:50:11] So B, you've seen the little yellow markers on the map. How do you think those are made? Like, the little y'all markers

[03:50:17] telling us where we're supposed to be going?

[03:50:20] I don't know.

[03:50:21] I could not possibly guess with this game.

[03:50:23] Alright, well, that's fair.

[03:50:26] Here, I'll just show you real quick.

[03:50:29] I would imagine it's like a little yellow dot on the map, right?

[03:50:34] You know, you would think that but as soon as we get to this...

[03:50:43] Not this first one but the second bus stop i have a little treat for you

[03:50:49] I'm only a little bit behind, only a little bit The passengers are waiting. Oh, that texture looks good!

[03:50:51] Yeah, there's a whole lot of Z fighting

[03:50:55] I definitely started

[03:50:57] that joke a little early so so that's my apologies.

[03:51:01] Why are some of the yellow dots way bigger than others?

[03:51:05] Well, I think it might be related to what I'm about to show you.

[03:51:09] So again, yellow dot on map,

[03:51:10] you'd think, oh, it's probably a dot

[03:51:11] on the map, right?

[03:51:12] What if I told you that instead

[03:51:14] it's a big yellow orb in the sky?

[03:51:17] Orb!

[03:51:22] Oh boy, this video game. It's the old bus coming for you.

[03:51:25] So how many people play this game?

[03:51:27] Us?

[03:51:28] Yeah.

[03:51:30] We go... Oh yeah! Oh, yeah. Stocks are up baby!

[03:51:32] I don't see...

[03:51:34] Just drive through the trash bins.

[03:51:38] What?

[03:51:42] I'm not going to get past this guy. Just drive through the trash bins.

[03:51:47] What? You mean the tungsten filled trash bins? I'm going to be going backwards now!

[03:51:49] The worst.

[03:51:52] Stay winning, baby! Stay winning! that's not a parking job

[03:52:00] what is happening over there okay well I guess we're going this way.

[03:52:05] We love throwing!

[03:52:09] Can't wait to find a barrier over here.

[03:52:12] Oh my gosh...

[03:52:14] The live rerouting.

[03:52:18] You don't get improv like this on anywhere but GDQ.

[03:52:19] These runners have been practicing for hours.

[03:52:21] Unfortunately, I think they have.

[03:52:25] That's too much. unfortunately i think they have

[03:52:33] no yeah sporadic why don't we why do we lighten the mood

[03:52:37] i would be absolutely thrilled to. I have a $25 donation here from Deb who says,

[03:52:41] public trans rights?

[03:52:43] Yeah!

[03:52:47] No no no no! right no,no,no

[03:52:53] so fun thing about

[03:52:55] this game is that on every computer it's a little different

[03:52:58] so uh you may notice that the audio

[03:53:02] is like stopping and then coming oh there's a barrier here i turned

[03:53:05] to oh no oh you didn't know

[03:53:13] just ruined that guy's day we're good we're good okay so like you're good, we're good. Okay so... You're good!

[03:53:19] So anyway

[03:53:21] it's different on every PC

[03:53:23] This could have been awful

[03:53:27] Tim always experiences I think about what we're getting with the audio right now.

[03:53:29] On both of my computers,

[03:53:31] The audio stops at the very first bus stop and then never comes back

[03:53:35] Not even in the menus or anything

[03:53:37] So that's super fun.

[03:53:39] That's cool.

[03:53:40] Also, Tim every once in a while might press the space bar.

[03:53:44] I'm afraid of the space bar because every single bus stop it does something

[03:53:48] different.

[03:53:48] So sometimes it is a handbrake

[03:53:51] Thank you bus, thank you, please move

[03:53:53] Sometimes its a handbrake

[03:53:55] Sometimes it honks your horn

[03:53:57] I got a break right now

[03:53:59] Sometimes it changes the camera angle to be super useful.

[03:54:03] Cinematic.

[03:54:04] True light fiction.

[03:54:06] The game is never in dark, but we have lights.

[03:54:09] Bright lights at that. Sometimes it lets you turn

[03:54:12] on your tilt controls.

[03:54:14] Yeah, look. Tilt controls.

[03:54:19] I think

[03:54:19] we're a Wii U.

[03:54:21] No, definitely not Wii U.

[03:54:23] That is definitely a phone

[03:54:25] where this camera...

[03:54:29] Yeah, I'll turn on tilt controls maybe. There we go.

[03:54:31] Oh yes The horn.

[03:54:32] Uh... Nope, that's just not going away now.

[03:54:34] Okay, so you're gonna wait for Space Force to horn right now?

[03:54:40] Oh boy.

[03:54:41] Imagine trying to break it and it just lays on the horn.

[03:54:44] Yeah, it lays on

[03:54:46] a horn and keeps going!

[03:54:48] Sometimes it pauses the game. That one's fun.

[03:54:50] I like that your

[03:54:52] tires are just smoking.

[03:54:54] Yeah, it was still going as we were parking.

[03:54:59] So Tim is heading into the hardest level now

[03:55:02] because it's a level that we actually do not at all in the intended like routing

[03:55:07] That the game wants you to do. What do you mean?

[03:55:10] There is your route here

[03:55:13] And we're not gonna take it

[03:55:18] Oh yeah, y'all can't see this these maps they have open they have serious notes for this game I don't know what this is a

[03:55:23] seriously well as you all your passengers are dead i was

[03:55:26] gonna say and their passengers and they're

[03:55:29] passing yeah

[03:55:35] lock in just lock it Lock in. Just lock your buttons.

[03:55:37] Oh yeah, you got the arrow

[03:55:41] with whatever this means. There's words on there and they're not happy.

[03:55:45] I did so much trash talking before this

[03:55:49] well because i had like the worst thing to happen to me in video games

[03:55:54] happened during practice and then you were just like oh

[03:55:57] i used a new time save and got a world record!

[03:56:00] But now Tim's coming up on some barricades because we're going not in the direction it

[03:56:05] wants us to go so he can try and shoot a gap. Yeah, try I did.

[03:56:13] So I have a question.

[03:56:14] Why are there two Miku skins?

[03:56:16] That's a great question.

[03:56:18] Purple just wasn't good enough i guess

[03:56:21] yeah um that was like one of the most shell shocking things i think about

[03:56:27] fighting in video games it's just like oh cool there are bus skins why is that

[03:56:31] suny miku on them this one is literally the default skin so by default they're just like

[03:56:37] yeah and the game was good though the game is infinitely better for it i'm also curious why every bus stop is just tomatoes

[03:56:45] um well i mean that'd be a great answer if i knew where we were. This is like...

[03:56:52] Where do people drive

[03:56:54] like this?

[03:56:56] In Tomato Town?

[03:57:00] I like that you can see it coming.

[03:57:03] You're like, well this is happening.

[03:57:05] I just regular crashed

[03:57:07] I saw you

[03:57:09] screaming, turned over

[03:57:11] here and just whirved into a sign.

[03:57:14] These people just watch you crash into a bus, they're like

[03:57:17] I'll get on that bus!

[03:57:19] Yeah!

[03:57:22] What are we doing?

[03:57:24] I still don't know.

[03:57:27] We're like, what level

[03:57:28] are we on? Seven?

[03:57:29] Where did life go wrong

[03:57:32] that we're here?

[03:57:34] See, I got this in practice. You are stuck!

[03:57:38] No no no, we got this.

[03:57:41] Come on, come on.

[03:57:44] Listen... You just need to perfectly back up.

[03:57:46] Easy.

[03:57:48] Yeah!

[03:57:50] Barely an inconvenience.

[03:57:53] Okay. Tim I'm going to shut this down for a second Fairly an inconvenience.

[03:57:59] Tim, I'm gonna shut the laptop so you don't have to map anymore. Good!

[03:58:02] We- we talked...

[03:58:04] I guess we could talk about how we found this game because...

[03:58:07] How did you find it?

[03:58:09] How much did you pay for the game?

[03:58:11] How much did I pay for this game?

[03:58:13] Nope, wait. I'm going the wrong way.

[03:58:15] Besides the blood, sweat and tears...

[03:58:18] No, last Steam Summer Sale because if you've been watching GDQs

[03:58:23] I've been in like this time slot for a while of just, like...

[03:58:30] Of just quirky indie games that I found.

[03:58:33] And I went, like, okay...

[03:58:35] I went, oh!

[03:58:40] I have $1. cents in my Steam wallet. Find me a bad video game and I'll speed run it.

[03:58:44] And then Ivan who is currently taking our photos, shout out to photo volunteers right now went here you go

[03:58:51] and you know i was really struck by the steam page which just straight up says

[03:58:56] the goal is to be the best city bus driver simulator that you can be.

[03:59:02] That's called to you.

[03:59:04] It's poetry!

[03:59:06] And by that I mean, what is wrong with me?

[03:59:08] Steam has a way of once you get one

[03:59:10] bad game, it never stops recommending

[03:59:13] the worst games possible.

[03:59:15] You never escape

[03:59:17] it. I mean,

[03:59:19] what are we talking about? This is a gem of a video game.

[03:59:22] I miss the music!

[03:59:28] Orb, orb, orb...

[03:59:37] Scoradic why don't we get another donation save us all right well led chef sent in 100 and says remember who taught you how to drive?

[03:59:43] I am one proud dad and happy to support this amazing foundation

[03:59:46] in my super son.

[03:59:48] Thanks, Dad.

[03:59:49] Thanks, Dad.

[03:59:50] Thanks, Dad.

[03:59:52] Not all of your dads.

[03:59:53] It's my dad.

[03:59:56] We have time for more?

[03:59:58] Yeah, let's go for it.

[03:59:59] All right, we got this $50 donation.

[04:00:01] It says, see, don't look now.

[04:00:02] There's a bus on your right.

[04:00:06] Left. That one was from this person you may know bystander tim oh the nod might be a word don't donate The nod. My viewers...

[04:00:15] Don't donate and drive!

[04:00:18] He's beating you!

[04:00:22] He's donating!

[04:00:24] I was so dis-moralized by that practice round

[04:00:27] That um, I'm like in the back going

[04:00:29] I need an edge

[04:00:31] And then the game just gave me

[04:00:33] Three buses in a row of buses we are on or at least i'm on level eight

[04:00:40] i don't know where she is anymore i'll be perfectly honest oh no the bus

[04:00:45] we got a good We got a good

[04:00:45] we got a good

[04:00:46] bus drift in.

[04:00:47] Some multi-lane

[04:00:48] drifting over here

[04:00:49] but there is

[04:00:51] like a structure

[04:00:52] to this game

[04:00:52] for some whatever

[04:00:53] reason

[04:00:53] and then

[04:00:53] there are 10 levels

[04:00:54] and slowly

[04:00:55] they started adding in more bus stops,

[04:00:58] and level 8 is the peak of that with four individual bus

[04:01:02] stops before you park.

[04:01:04] So this is definitely the longest level in the game, and if traffic doesn't

[04:01:08] play nice, he definitely has an opportunity

[04:01:10] to catch up here. Yeah, but C just got

[04:01:12] lost.

[04:01:14] Oh, another bus!

[04:01:16] No! No!

[04:01:18] No! No, no, no! Oh my god. Don't look now there's a bus on your right.

[04:01:21] Ah yeah.

[04:01:22] Oh no I donated $50 for charity and am eating my words.

[04:01:26] I'm going to the bathroom.

[04:01:27] I don't want to go in there.

[04:01:29] I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the finish, okay. Cool cool cool.

[04:01:33] Oh this buzz... oh!

[04:01:35] Yeah that's one thing is we talked about there being no pathing

[04:01:38] The game will occasionally spawn barricades in the way we saw a little

[04:01:41] bit of that level six traffic doesn't like that because

[04:01:44] they're just gonna be like well guess i'm stuck here and like

[04:01:47] like plant their feet and i don't know what to do

[04:01:55] All i know is that

[04:01:57] I was told im not allowed to see 9 and 10

[04:01:59] level 9 and 10 before this so you're not you are a lot

[04:02:02] of what's about to happen you are allowed now because we are doing the run

[04:02:08] wake up wake up there we have bus game to watch.

[04:02:13] We can't sleep you can't sleep

[04:02:20] Why don't we get another donation? I feel like we're already tired after all the puns.

[04:02:25] I'm still trying to understand.

[04:02:27] First thing, Ivan sent in $25 and says oh no!

[04:02:30] Oh no.

[04:02:31] I am so sorry.

[04:02:37] We have time for one more? Let's go for it!

[04:02:38] Alright the transit authority sent in $25

[04:02:41] says we might not have gotten Hatsune Mikico in half-life but here at the city bus

[04:02:46] authority we have you covered good luck to both of our drivers remember traffic lights

[04:02:50] are just a suggestion there's no travel lights from the transit authority everyone this city is

[04:02:58] amazing is this the kind of is that kind of city like batman just traffic crime batman

[04:03:10] just drove off the road okay so that I can catch up.

[04:03:16] Here's an idea...

[04:03:19] I'm trying to see where this bus is going,

[04:03:21] and I don't think that's any language.

[04:03:27] Oh cool the music's back.

[04:03:35] Alright now it's gone. This looks pretty normal. So just like we had with the giant orange or a point of the second

[04:03:43] bus stop in both I think it's both 9 and ten is the one to watch out for because there's some very

[04:03:51] very uh unique situation there batman's not there oh my gosh what What is the...

[04:03:59] What is the hitbox of that bus?

[04:04:03] It's like, I wanna be a part of this.

[04:04:05] No, they travel in packs

[04:04:09] No, they travel

[04:04:10] in packs and they collide together.

[04:04:17] Oh my gosh.

[04:04:22] What? Why'd you- Did Jesus drive through the bus stop? No!

[04:04:24] Cheater.

[04:04:26] What do you mean, cheater?! I have to back up now!

[04:04:28] Beep beep beep Beep beep beep I'm a cheater! I have to back up now! Cheat, beep, beep...

[04:04:36] Thank you so much crowd by the way.

[04:04:41] So we're gonna fail these levels? by the way. So is there a way

[04:04:41] to fail these levels?

[04:04:43] Yes,

[04:04:43] yes there is.

[04:04:45] See this timer at

[04:04:45] the top?

[04:04:46] Okay so see how

[04:04:47] it's counting up?

[04:04:48] You would think

[04:04:48] yeah that's just

[04:04:49] like a timer

[04:04:50] to see how fast

[04:04:50] you complete the level wrong what no that

[04:04:54] is your timer for failing the level because you can fail the level if you take too long uh but

[04:04:59] you don't know how long that is because the timer counts up instead of down.

[04:05:03] You can just bail at some point.

[04:05:05] Yeah, so what was that about the counter?

[04:05:07] Yeah. Okay.

[04:05:09] Goodbye.

[04:05:11] I just like that the timer just randomly decides how many like milliseconds

[04:05:14] it's flickering sometimes you get one you get three some times

[04:05:17] it's like yeah hey don't don't talk smack about the counter don't make me tap the sign

[04:05:27] i understood that reference wait wait no wait wait wait

[04:05:31] no no no oh! I'm throwing! I'M THROWING!

[04:05:35] How are you getting lost? It's a parking lot.

[04:05:37] You have notes!

[04:05:41] I also got

[04:05:43] a little...l lost. I completely, I like disassociated for half a second with the ghost stop appearing and just completely forgot where it was!

[04:05:52] I was gonna ask how you get lost but but everything looks the same. What is happening?

[04:05:57] Wow! Conveniently me going the wrong way worked out because there's no way of getting through that intersection.

[04:06:03] Alright. By the way, so...

[04:06:06] Yeah, in case you missed it before.

[04:06:08] Oh wait no this is fine.

[04:06:09] No, it's the second one.

[04:06:10] The next stop, yeah the second stop.

[04:06:11] By the way just so time is clear

[04:06:14] Time is going to come up when we lose control at

[04:06:16] the final parking stop in the next level.

[04:06:18] We've already lost control, I'm sorry!

[04:06:21] We lost control the moment we pressed start game.

[04:06:24] Tim why are you up at 5 in the morning playing a bus game?

[04:06:28] Because I've lost control of my life.

[04:06:32] So you guys are going to keep grinding for world record after this, right?

[04:06:35] I already have it. It's fine.

[04:06:37] When is the DLC coming up for this when's the deal

[04:06:43] nobody's there hey

[04:06:48] that was one thing.

[04:06:49] We found so many alternative bus driver simulators

[04:06:53] just looking up stuff.

[04:06:55] I still want to play the $200 ones, though.

[04:07:02] What? $200 one. So why is it $200?

[04:07:04] That's a great question.

[04:07:07] You'll be able to find out next year.

[04:07:12] This game is currently on sale for, I 49 cents it is 49 cents whenever it is on sale yes so if anyone wants it you can play right now and get those zero concurrent players up.

[04:07:24] It's two right now.

[04:07:27] Well, we're not playing on Steam so...

[04:07:28] Oh shoot you're right.

[04:07:29] Gotta get those numbers up.

[04:07:36] Donate to buy Tim the 200 bus game please instead donate to this charity please please donate to get the charity, the $200 bus game.

[04:07:45] Speaking of donations I have one here for 104 dollars from Amnosaurus Rex it says nice bus.

[04:07:52] Nice bus

[04:07:52] Thanks Evan

[04:07:53] I feel like that's

[04:07:56] Like a Tommy Vercetti

[04:07:56] Vibe

[04:07:57] Tommy Vercetti

[04:07:58] Just walks in

[04:07:58] Mmm

[04:07:59] Nice bus

[04:08:00] Alright I'm also on the last level now.

[04:08:06] It's neck and neck.

[04:08:08] They're all on the same level.

[04:08:10] One crash can decide it.

[04:08:12] If Tim's keyboard

[04:08:14] disconnects

[04:08:14] for an

[04:08:15] entire minute.

[04:08:16] His space

[04:08:16] bar could

[04:08:17] do magical

[04:08:17] things,

[04:08:18] apparently.

[04:08:18] It

[04:08:18] could.

[04:08:20] I wish

[04:08:20] it didn't.

[04:08:24] Let's see what is it doing right now?

[04:08:25] It's a break. Cool!

[04:08:27] Nice!

[04:08:31] If you're not a coward, you'll do the rest of the level

[04:08:33] in cinematic mode I'll do the rest of the level in cinematic mode.

[04:08:36] I'll do the final... He's really trying.

[04:08:38] Let's say, let's do

[04:08:38] the final drive

[04:08:39] in cinematic mode.

[04:08:41] The final drive.

[04:08:42] Let's ride off

[04:08:43] into sunset.

[04:08:45] It's called

[04:08:45] the final drive because you're like an unsung well i've heard

[04:08:48] i've heard we have one more passenger to pick up in this city oh my god where are they going that's not the bus

[04:09:06] all right would you get on that bus?

[04:09:08] Alright, as promised.

[04:09:12] Cinematic!

[04:09:16] How is it useful in any way?

[04:09:21] Okay, okay.

[04:09:25] I am going to beast it so hard.

[04:09:32] Sorry, we're just giving you serious time right now.

[04:09:37] Serious time for City bus drivers as we haven't already been giggling

[04:09:45] so this is not the serious block Time.

[04:09:55] The most prestigious race victory known to man.

[04:09:59] Tim, how are you feeling right now? Clapping it up for an audience of one.

[04:10:03] I've heard we have one more passenger to pick up?

[04:10:07] I will be setting up a little special thing as soon as he finishes to show off.

[04:10:12] Yeah, we really will write off

[04:10:14] into the success together.

[04:10:15] We are going to do that for

[04:10:18] sure. It's the most ominous thing

[04:10:20] I've ever heard. See how do you feel about losing the most ominous thing i've ever heard see how do you feel about losing

[04:10:23] the most on the biggest stage

[04:10:32] cannot believe after all all the trash talk that three buses and a trench coat decided to help.

[04:10:36] That's time for you, by the way.

[04:10:39] Oh, that's time?

[04:10:40] Yeah, that's time.

[04:18:46] This game blows. take it away oscar 424.

[04:19:04] friends do you see that thing in the bottom left-hand corner there Thank you. a specific game called leaf blower man this game blows we are going with the ads yes you paid for the abs back into this

[04:19:09] well just yeah y'all are y'all are awesome

[04:19:12] anyway if you want a quick synopsis of what you're getting into okay in a world where

[04:19:20] leaves fall from trees only one man can push them from one end of the driveway to the other.

[04:19:28] You are that man...

[04:19:31] ...or woman, or non-binary,

[04:19:35] Or... let's try this again.

[04:19:46] But wait! there's more.

[04:19:49] Ah, there we go! Much better. Anyway,

[04:19:54] We don't get paid by word count so let's begin this adventure.

[04:19:59] So that's what you're getting into. I'm Oscar424

[04:20:01] and...

[04:20:02] Hi, I'm Dangerous!

[04:20:06] Wonderful

[04:20:06] couch commentary here.

[04:20:08] We have a bit war we need to officially find out who is winning today.

[04:20:15] Well, oh my gosh! Another upset? It's Raze Girl!

[04:20:24] Oh! The last moment nice thank you very much everybody thank you for that snipe so i'm actually going to be a little quiet because

[04:20:29] you know when you put

[04:20:30] the two hardest tricks in the game as the first

[04:20:34] two things you do in the game um that's a thing

[04:20:37] so as soon as we start letane talk for a hot second. But

[04:20:41] we are ready to go in 5

[04:20:43] 4 3

[04:20:45] 2 1

[04:20:47] Go!

[04:20:49] Alrighty, so the moment we load in

[04:20:51] We are going to immediately not do our job of blowing leaves

[04:20:55] And we're going to instead jump onto this little bush

[04:20:58] Try and use the ramp collision off of this bush

[04:21:01] To get on

[04:21:02] the roof of this house

[04:21:03] and then do another

[04:21:04] jump.

[04:21:05] Come on!

[04:21:06] Oh, I'm so close.

[04:21:08] So yeah, these are

[04:21:09] the two hardest things

[04:21:10] in the run.

[04:21:11] Luckily they're one

[04:21:12] second into the run so

[04:21:13] no big deal if you don't get a first try

[04:21:15] but yeah this is going to

[04:21:17] be the first

[04:21:19] of a couple times where we

[04:21:21] don't actually do our job of blowing leaves, and we're going to instead

[04:21:24] skip everything.

[04:21:26] Oh, that's it? That's a good one. Nice.

[04:21:28] So we are now on top of the

[04:21:30] picket fence, and we are going to

[04:21:32] get over to the very bottom of the screen,

[04:21:34] and now Oscar's gonna switch

[04:21:35] to the keyboard

[04:21:36] and just hold down

[04:21:37] the right button

[04:21:38] and pass by all

[04:21:39] of these houses

[04:21:40] that have leaves

[04:21:41] in the driveway.

[04:21:42] Look, I upped my rates

[04:21:43] and they didn't

[04:21:44] they didn't pay them it's fine we can't even tell the story about

[04:21:48] blowing leaves into the pool no and how that's faster but we get ads we do get ads so friends ads for anonymizing all of your internet traffic

[04:22:17] friends It'll be like you're watching this together. Like pals, like friends! You'll be great!

[04:22:19] You don't have to be allowed anymore!

[04:22:21] I don't have to be allowed anymore!

[04:22:23] Please! There's another one bound to the end!

[04:22:25] I need this.

[04:22:31] This is what your donations went toward, by the way.

[04:22:34] Yep.

[04:22:35] So the ads...

[04:22:36] Actually, no, before we talk about ads,

[04:22:37] chat friends here can

[04:22:39] we pop off for what we like to call intended leaf blowing strats

[04:22:45] we are doing our job this is the only time we're going to do this.

[04:22:48] This is the only time.

[04:22:50] You were doing the intended leaf blowing and we're done.

[04:22:52] Nice.

[04:22:54] All right, now we have a boss fight.

[04:22:56] We have a boss fight right here so we have to blow bombs back into the turret and oh

[04:23:02] wait we have to blow them back in the turret well we're supposed to or you could do this i guess

[04:23:08] i was that i didn't know we had to actually use the leaf blower.

[04:23:12] You don't have to, you just won so...

[04:23:15] Oh!

[04:23:16] Cool, yeah! That's the boss fight.

[04:23:18] I guess we can keep going.

[04:23:19] We can keep going.

[04:23:20] How about another ad?

[04:23:21] Let's get another ad.

[04:23:23] And show you something that I think

[04:23:25] very few people in todays world

[04:23:27] can hope of achieving

[04:23:29] and that is a 400 square foot inner city studio apartment for less than half of what you make in Sign up now, chat.

[04:23:47] Oooh!

[04:23:51] That's impressive. Uhhhh no! uh this isn't turnip boy so anyways the intended strap for this place is we're supposed to blow

[04:24:11] all the money into the circle because they just robbed a bank.

[04:24:13] I'm just going to blow off this toupee.

[04:24:16] So we're going to instead jump on this guy's head and jump over a trigger for that,

[04:24:20] and then we're going to do the same thing here.

[04:24:22] That's not a toupee though, that's a bush.

[04:24:24] Oh! Oh! bush. Oh!

[04:24:27] I know what I want to do.

[04:24:29] I want to go to space. You want to go to space? Yeah, I want to go to space. I guess we can go to space. I don't go to space.

[04:24:32] Do you really want to? I go to space.

[04:24:33] Oh, good. Yeah.

[04:24:36] Alright, so we're going to do that boss fight again. Oh, this one's

[04:24:38] moving. Oh yeah, this one is moving.

[04:24:40] No no no, come back, come back, come back!

[04:24:42] Okay, that was fine. You're my

[04:24:44] friend! I think? Maybe? Oh. Hey, that was fine. You're my friend! I think?

[04:24:46] Maybe?

[04:24:47] Oh.

[04:24:48] Hey, that's the last one.

[04:24:49] I broke the friend.

[04:24:50] You broke the friend.

[04:24:52] Anyway,

[04:24:53] uh...

[04:24:53] I want you to meet

[04:24:54] Mayor of World.

[04:24:55] Hello Leaflover person, I am Mayor of World. Hello, leaflet over person. I am Mayor of World.

[04:24:57] As you know, everyone hates you.

[04:24:59] Oh.

[04:25:01] Anyway, I don't care about what you have to say now.

[04:25:03] It's a speed run still. We have to skip the rest of the dialogue.

[04:25:05] Oh, this is an ad!

[04:25:08] By the way, this is an ad! By the way,

[04:25:08] this is the only actual ad in the game.

[04:25:10] So I mentioned

[04:25:11] the ads they put back

[04:25:12] in the game.

[04:25:13] The developer Kubizar

[04:25:14] who again

[04:25:14] indie dev

[04:25:15] single dev

[04:25:16] made a subplot of the game um basically his descent into capitalism

[04:25:22] effectively but this is another game that he's made if you ever heard of rain in your parade

[04:25:26] um like that snow or snow but different because it's not rain no but different

[04:25:32] but yeah it's just shout out cuba he's so

[04:25:36] so cool and he's been so like excited with everyone speed during this game we

[04:25:43] almost got it for the college but unfortunately schedules didn't work out

[04:25:46] then very sounds a little upset right now. A little bit.

[04:25:50] That might be a problem.

[04:25:51] Will that come back to bite us later on?

[04:25:54] No.

[04:25:54] Oh, okay.

[04:25:55] That's fine.

[04:25:55] So we're going to go

[04:25:56] what I originally liked to call

[04:25:58] Lele Distinct Area 51. Somebody somebody in a chat for previous round did this and it

[04:26:03] was place 15 so this is place 15. just place 15 now um i'm gonna run into a cabinet because

[04:26:08] they don't know what the straight line is. But, uh...

[04:26:11] I will warn people.

[04:26:12] There is a chance

[04:26:13] we are going to get an audio glitch.

[04:26:16] Do you hear this very triumphant music?

[04:26:18] If we get the audio glitch

[04:26:19] you're gonna hear this for the rest of the game.

[04:26:25] So... the audio glitch you're going to hear this for the rest of the game so it is with me couch

[04:26:33] so this we'll find out as soon as this cutscene ends if the music ends, we are safe.

[04:26:36] If it doesn't... Anyway, we're going to space.

[04:26:39] This is a thing and...

[04:26:49] Oh! No! end if the audio glitch happened you'd be hearing that triumphant little ditty

[04:26:52] until we restarted the game Snickers?

[04:27:05] Uh, Kupuzon? Are you okay bud?

[04:27:09] Um, hmm. I have questions.

[04:27:13] I have a lot of questions

[04:27:27] he's fine do-do-do-do see he's fine yeah nothing bad is gonna happen or anything.

[04:27:29] Anywho, we are in space.

[04:27:33] I'll let Dane talk during this part because this is not easy.

[04:27:35] So this is the asteroid section.

[04:27:37] Fun fact you actually don't see this in

[04:27:39] the ad free version. You just get like a

[04:27:41] blank white hallway with a bunch of boxes

[04:27:43] on it. Now the problem is

[04:27:45] if she gets hit by any of these asteroids,

[04:27:47] she gets warped back to the beginning so it's...

[04:27:50] Checkpoint.

[04:27:52] Or a checkpoint.

[04:27:54] It behooves you pause and wait in certain places

[04:27:57] if you feel like you might not actually get there pause and wait in certain places

[04:27:57] if you feel like you might not

[04:27:59] actually get where you're trying to go.

[04:28:03] Yeah, this end of the section

[04:28:05] is kind of risky and it really depends on how big the asteroids are

[04:28:15] it's fine we're not playing with fire it's okay

[04:28:18] we'll play with leaves.

[04:28:20] Yellow it, yellow it...

[04:28:22] Yes! There we go.

[04:28:26] Whew! Alright.

[04:28:28] That section has killed record pace roads it is so squirrely oh

[04:28:34] oh you got new products new product yeah

[04:28:38] i like that

[04:28:41] wait Ooh, I like that. Wait...

[04:28:45] But it doesn't block the sound?

[04:28:52] ... and how to watch them. We will be the only advertising left to want advertisements

[04:28:53] to drool them all.

[04:28:55] Join the Unbound Builder family.

[04:28:57] You have no choice.

[04:28:58] Change is coming.

[04:28:59] Unbound Builders is mighty.

[04:29:01] Unbound Builders is scalable. Unbound Builders... I love my lover as life. I love my lover as a saddle.

[04:29:03] I love my lover as the wind.

[04:29:05] Join us!

[04:29:07] Give it up for Nightmare Fuel!

[04:29:09] Yay!

[04:29:13] We're now on the moon.

[04:29:15] Now some of you might be asking yourself

[04:29:17] how are you using a leaf blower

[04:29:19] which pushes air on the moon?

[04:29:21] Yeah by pushing right trigger on my controller. Yes. To that we say

[04:29:24] shut up.

[04:29:26] So there is a wall that keeps us in

[04:29:28] the area.

[04:29:30] However you can just jump over that wall

[04:29:32] like that. It's fine.

[04:29:33] Alright now tentacle rng

[04:29:36] be nice

[04:29:38] i'm glad we didn't get the audio because

[04:29:39] we wouldn't hear the music

[04:29:40] right

[04:29:41] all right so i'm gonna go to this one.

[04:29:46] There we go!

[04:29:47] Nice! Ooh that went about as well as-

[04:29:49] Oh no!

[04:29:51] I accommodated his curse though, there we go.

[04:29:53] Okay, now we got it.

[04:29:56] That's nice. I accommodated as Kirsten. There we go, okay. Now we got it!

[04:29:59] Sorry Asuka!

[04:30:02] Oh wait hold on! However upon returning to Earth...

[04:30:07] Something is amiss.

[04:30:11] Oh, I didn't clean those up did I? You didn't clean up the leaves on Earth

[04:30:13] did you?

[04:30:15] While you were gone the lead sees the day

[04:30:22] are you a bad enough leaf blower person to save humanity i hope all right so that is part one completed

[04:30:32] all right so we are moving on to horde mode which is um five minutes of

[04:30:36] we're here now who likes vampire survivors anybody fans

[04:30:39] of vampire survivors give it up give it up

[04:30:41] survivors that's what we're doing for five minutes but with leaves

[04:30:45] uh there are specific power-ups i'm looking for um and

[04:30:48] i'll have dane talk about what i like to call the strat

[04:30:51] once we get to the part where i stop talking yeah so um do not be deceived this part's actually

[04:30:56] really hard now like that in the ad free version there's

[04:30:59] actually a manipulation you can do where you can uh

[04:31:04] spam collecting power up over and over and

[04:31:08] over and over um where you basically level up

[04:31:11] about 30 times in one

[04:31:13] go. And you become not

[04:31:15] Leaf Blower Person but Leaf Blower God!

[04:31:17] Because we are

[04:31:19] doing the ad-supported version,

[04:31:20] we don't get to use that minip.

[04:31:22] So this part's going to get actually very difficult.

[04:31:25] We're going to pass it over in just a minute for some donations,

[04:31:28] but I guess the best thing we can do at this point is,

[04:31:31] much like Vampire Survivors,

[04:31:32] every couple of levels,

[04:31:34] Asuka's going to get access to a new weapon.

[04:31:36] And there's a couple of specific weapons that she's looking for

[04:31:38] and then she got the jumper.

[04:31:39] That's what we're moving on to.

[04:31:40] Yeah, they give up damage though which is like yeah

[04:31:42] that it's a bummer so there's an enemy that's going to spawn in at some point

[04:31:45] that isn't very very tall and forms a circle around the whole arena and one

[04:31:50] jumper upgrade allows her to jump over that enemy so she can get out of there and not get badly flanked by all of these leaves.

[04:31:59] But yeah, this is a five-minute section of just doing this before we fight the Leaf King.

[04:32:06] So, Sporadic, you've got time to read a whole bunch of donations.

[04:32:10] Thankfully I have a whole bunch of donations.

[04:32:14] Leaf King.

[04:32:16] Yes.

[04:32:16] You did not miss here.

[04:32:18] All right.

[04:32:19] All right.

[04:32:20] $75 from Neil Barry.

[04:32:22] It says Asuka is a craftsman in her

[04:32:25] run of leaf blower man.

[04:32:27] She has nerves of steel!

[04:32:29] Looking forward to running through these levels

[04:32:31] like a Toro in the china shop.

[04:32:33] Don't forget to include incentives

[04:32:35] in your donations, to ensure your green works."

[04:32:39] I love that! Thank you so much, Steve.

[04:33:05] jumping intended strats right now.

[04:33:08] Keep going, you got time.

[04:33:10] Alright, Peanut153 said in $50 says the best part of

[04:33:12] working third shift is getting to watch all these

[04:33:14] amazing runs in

[04:33:16] the silly block.

[04:33:19] And runs in the silly block. And Comrade

[04:33:21] MixitNintendos says,

[04:33:23] Hey Asuka, can't believe

[04:33:25] that you're up on stage

[04:33:27] running Leaf Blower Person helping rake in donations for charity

[04:33:32] best of luck

[04:33:35] i can't believe i can't believe those are the first leaf puns that we've heard actually so far.

[04:33:41] I think we really need a lot more leaf puns.

[04:33:43] No, no you're gonna kill me.

[04:33:46] Bring them!

[04:33:47] I love puns.

[04:33:51] Don't leave me hanging

[04:34:01] i have a 50 donation here from mad not youth, donating to MSF during the silly block certainly does not blow

[04:34:04] much love to everyone

[04:34:05] for putting on such a great event

[04:34:07] less than three.

[04:34:12] Also shout out to a sheep right there

[04:34:19] yeah this is the part where it's gonna start getting really scary for me all right retro sent25 says, fascinated to find out that there are

[04:34:23] leaves in space. You learn something new

[04:34:25] every day. Thank you, Asuka

[04:34:26] and GDQ.

[04:34:28] You will notice that the leaves now have

[04:34:31] swords. This is fun. Also,

[04:34:33] these sheep are actually a weapon

[04:34:35] so every few levels

[04:34:36] you get to pick up a new weapon and

[04:34:39] one of the weapons is a group

[04:34:41] of sheep will

[04:34:42] just run in from off the screen

[04:34:45] and trample a bunch of leaves,

[04:34:47] and that's what's happening.

[04:34:49] Listen, there are stronger weapons.

[04:34:51] I wanted sheep.

[04:34:53] So we got about 30 more seconds for donations all right mo morrison sent in 50

[04:34:59] it says never trust leaves jay said at 25 dollars and says can i pay to get more ads

[04:35:10] dumbly sent in twenty five dollars it says ads and says, ads!

[04:35:18] And there's a lot of love for the ads coming in. Tomato Morrow said

[04:35:20] $850. I'm so glad we donated to

[04:35:22] put the ads back in. This is

[04:35:23] fantastic.

[04:35:27] This is the scariest 30 seconds in it.

[04:35:31] We're trying to tick down that clock

[04:35:33] in the upper right corner

[04:35:34] to five minutes because

[04:35:36] that's when the Leaf King spawns in,

[04:35:37] so she just has to survive.

[04:35:38] So far we've been doing a bang-up job.

[04:35:40] There we go.

[04:35:41] Nice.

[04:35:42] With this much help I'm...

[04:35:43] You know what?

[04:35:44] I'm not going to say it

[04:35:45] because I know what runner's curse don't don't don't do that

[04:35:49] to yourself i kind of want to do it to myself so my health power is pretty high

[04:35:53] hopefully i don't get hit by anything oh why did you yeah so one of the weapons that she picked up was uh doing an aoe attack every

[04:36:01] time she jumps and doing an aoe attack every time she lands so all she has to do really is

[04:36:05] just spam jump over and over and and well this is what happens.

[04:36:09] But yeah now that we've hit five minutes

[04:36:11] no more new leaves are spawning in

[04:36:13] We're just gonna see

[04:36:15] the kind of stragglers getting

[04:36:17] murked until the leaf king spawns in which should be any moment

[04:36:20] will be in the north part of the map so remember how long you mentioned power leveling for

[04:36:26] the other version um this is power leveling by the way

[04:36:31] this is a different kind of power level carving a hole in everything

[04:36:40] yeah you form that line by moving in a certain way northward

[04:36:43] In order to kind of funnel everything into one line

[04:36:45] But alright, we got the Leaf King

[04:36:47] Here we go

[04:36:48] Here's the Leaf King

[04:36:50] He looks so happy Yeah Here we go. Here's the Leaf King!

[04:36:53] He looks so happy.

[04:36:54] Yeah, he does.

[04:36:56] It's the sheep.

[04:37:00] Yeah, he telegraphs his attacks by his facial expressions So you'll know as soon as he attacks by the faces he makes.

[04:37:05] You know, maybe...you know, he actually doesn't look so happy right now it's probably because these sheep are going to bleed him. gonna bleed them

[04:37:19] oh i got hit well has a calculator ever quit during the middle of a run is that a thing um well i've already said that's never happened before once during this marathon.

[04:37:25] True.

[04:37:26] I hit my quota unfortunately.

[04:37:30] And Leaf King down! and leaf king down

[04:37:41] all right so finale is this really long really looks like six to eight minutes of all these like side quests to get these three key cards and it's it takes a long time wait

[04:37:47] but this is new game plus oh yeah i have those cards so we already have the key

[04:37:51] cards in our inventory so we just walk up put them in the pedestals and...

[04:37:56] We're done.

[04:37:58] Side quest skipped!

[04:38:00] Yeah that's one of the big differences between a New Game and New Game Plus

[04:38:04] Can you knock over the TVs?

[04:38:07] Please Can you knock over the TVs? Okay.

[04:38:11] I hope that didn't anger...

[04:38:16] So, you made it, huh? Do you know why there are only Oh. Huh?

[04:38:20] No, no.

[04:38:23] Why didn't you do this?

[04:38:27] Look, I resemble that remark.

[04:38:35] Oh...

[04:38:39] This just got really real. product. Oh. And I'm selling your attention to the highest bidder.

[04:38:40] This just got really real. More hats, more money more money, more games, more

[04:38:42] games, more hats!

[04:38:44] It's the circle of life baby.

[04:38:46] Ha ha ha ha ha. Huh. Uh it's time for you baby.

[04:38:51] It's time for you to die and repeat the cycle.

[04:38:53] Let's dance!

[04:38:54] Oh, that got a little moody.

[04:38:57] So yes, this is the this is the developer

[04:38:59] the developer made himself the final boss of this game yep

[04:39:04] and chet you heard the man let's dance i want to see those dancing

[04:39:08] modes there's no reason also for Let's dance. I want to see those dance emotes.

[04:39:12] There's no reason also for me to destroy these.

[04:39:14] There is a reason. It's fun.

[04:39:16] Yeah, yeah. It is true.

[04:39:18] Like Wadsworth, we like to keep things tidy.

[04:39:20] By the way, this fight only occurs in the ad-supported version.

[04:39:24] If you play ad-free, you don't get this fight.

[04:39:27] You get a little note that says,

[04:39:29] oh yeah, thanks for getting the ad-free version.

[04:39:31] Yeah, I'm just going to go bug

[04:39:32] people that didn't get that version and

[04:39:34] yeah, bye.

[04:39:36] Your donations

[04:39:38] to MSF went

[04:39:40] to this. That's not going to work work a little unfortunate yeah you can get multiple bombs

[04:39:44] to to hit him at once uh but they have to spawn kind of next to each other because the time

[04:39:48] window is a little bit too narrow to uh push a bunch at once

[04:40:04] time's gonna be coming up pretty soon yeah it'll be as soon as the the last hit uh comes in and the letter probably one or two more oh oh oh oh oh and no not yet really rude kubizar please

[04:40:22] okay that's just bad. That is

[04:40:24] time! You can't stand it! There's nothing left to play!

[04:40:37] Poor guy.

[04:40:40] You thought you won, Fireman?

[04:40:43] No... I finished the game whoa

[04:40:50] oh i feel bad now but we won the game! We won the game!

[04:41:00] Also, I love the fact that it puts your

[04:41:01] Steam name in the top banner.

[04:41:04] Little things like that are

[04:41:05] just so cool about this but as we

[04:48:40] Hello everybody this is wild woody for the Sega CD.

[04:48:44] Yeah, this is the game of all time so thank you twitch chat and everybody

[04:48:53] who's donated for making the cutscene percent.

[04:48:58] So you guys are going to be in for a treat.

[04:48:59] Oh, yeah.

[04:49:01] The cutscenes in this game

[04:49:03] are beautiful.

[04:49:03] It's pre-Toy Story CGI

[04:49:05] and the animation could not be better.

[04:49:08] Truly. It's

[04:49:10] something. Quick introduction

[04:49:12] to my commentator,

[04:49:14] Brandino, who has also enjoyed

[04:49:16] some time with The Pencil.

[04:49:18] I have, yes. Thank you so much Allegro.

[04:49:20] I am Brandino,

[04:49:21] I'm mostly known for handheld speedruns

[04:49:23] but I'm here today to help give commentary

[04:49:25] on Wild Woody a game that I also run

[04:49:27] It is gonna be a great time and I just want to apologize in advance,

[04:49:30] I was yelling divorce during Chibi-Robo! And I lost my voice so let's make do with what we got.

[04:49:38] I'm still so excited to talk about this run today.

[04:49:40] All right.

[04:49:42] Don't skip the cut scene.

[04:49:43] Yes, yes.

[04:49:44] Do not skip the cut scene.

[04:49:45] I have a very itchy trigger finger.

[04:49:47] All right.

[04:49:48] Let's go ahead and three two one go oh and i forgot to mention i love the sketch we

[04:49:58] sketch a lot during the run i'll be sketching with Allegro sometimes.

[04:50:01] Yeah, we got that ready.

[04:50:03] Who's faster, me or Woody?

[04:50:04] We'll find out.

[04:50:06] Hey, Suspie!

[04:50:07] They just wanted to thank you again for pulling us out of that Aztec tomb!

[04:50:26] Hey listen, that guy that had his spear on my shorts you care for pulling us out of that ass incredible voice acting i don't know how they can get to the volcano in time. My good lord.

[04:50:33] Yeah, like how are they calling him? I just translated the tablet

[04:50:35] to stabbing that totem

[04:50:36] into his mouth.

[04:50:37] Now guess this.

[04:50:38] If the spirits

[04:50:39] and the totems are free

[04:50:40] each one creates

[04:50:41] a parallel universe that can devour the world.

[04:50:44] You're standing in chaos, too, and an evocatory.

[04:50:46] Lucky for us though is that power can only be released...

[04:50:49] That sounds kind of...

[04:50:51] That's kinda scary.

[04:50:55] Wait a minute, it's July

[04:50:56] we're in Minnesota so it's probably

[04:50:59] snowing. Oh my god!

[04:51:01] Oh no. Oh my god.

[04:51:02] Is the tunnel about to break?

[04:51:04] Wait, no it's...

[04:51:06] It can't, it can't, it can't.

[04:51:08] Oh no!

[04:51:09] Oh no!

[04:51:11] You know what it is?

[04:51:14] I didn't set the sega cd clock right

[04:51:17] it's probably set to wednesday oh look what you've done now whoa oh my aching back!

[04:51:29] Looks like those jerks are loose again.

[04:51:32] Now I gotta find me some muscle to bring them back.

[04:51:35] Hmm... not much to work with here.

[04:51:36] Say, now that one's got potential!

[04:51:39] Wake up pal! You and me got work to do-

[04:51:42] I have everything in this room.

[04:51:52] Whoa... I'm sorry. I've got a name, Redhead.

[04:51:54] Tell me Woody.

[04:51:56] Wild Woody!

[04:52:10] No, I know my name, but... Yeah, Woody almost eats the camera there. totem pole. My fathead Totem Brothers have escaped my control and I brought you to life

[04:52:11] to go and round them up

[04:52:13] If you don't get them back, they'll wipe out

[04:52:15] everything! So

[04:52:17] what do you think? Think you can save the world my good man as of 15 seconds ago i was

[04:52:24] burned to say the world where do i stop squid let's go into that pirate book

[04:52:28] jumping after us and look for sketches in there.

[04:52:31] Any sketch you draw will come to life.

[04:52:33] Now go!

[04:52:34] See ya, Jeff!

[04:52:35] Oh boy, it's time to start sketching!

[04:52:39] Yahoo!

[04:52:41] Sell? Captain! Yahoo! That was mo-capped.

[04:52:43] Wait, no,

[04:52:45] that was motion capture.

[04:52:47] I think Pixar animated that dude.

[04:52:49] Alright so we're off to a

[04:52:52] pirate world and yeah this

[04:52:54] game goes from 3D

[04:52:56] cutscenes to just

[04:52:58] 2d nonsense

[04:53:00] Um in the sprites are

[04:53:03] quite detailed, from my understanding they were

[04:53:04] hand drawn and digitized, and you can

[04:53:07] definitely see some of that quality come through here

[04:53:09] The game looks great

[04:53:11] now how it plays is a different story.

[04:53:14] Yeah... Woody feels really heavy to control and you had to commit to your jumps.

[04:53:19] Yes! This games jumping is REALLY bad. I don't know how much it shows but every jump you make you

[04:53:27] have to be holding a direction if you're not woody will just jump in place and

[04:53:30] you can barely get him moved left or right. Not to mention, every single

[04:53:35] ladder or rope in this game

[04:53:36] is like super thin.

[04:53:39] If you are not directly dead

[04:53:41] center of it, Woody will let go of it

[04:53:43] and fall. There are a lot of things to climb in this

[04:53:45] game so that's really dangerous oh yeah

[04:53:49] there's some that really scare the crap out me

[04:53:52] and uh at this level treasure caves we're gonna pop over to Diddy Kong Racing for a second.

[04:53:59] Um so I don't know why but this song feels like it's chasing me.

[04:54:07] Makes me very nervous!

[04:54:13] This stage is

[04:54:15] very interesting, there's like multiple routes that you can take, and they're almost equally the same amount of time it takes to get to the end here.

[04:54:25] Recently a task was released which helped us find some new routes that we had previously unknown,

[04:54:30] which is awesome. Any help for this game? Very recommended.

[04:54:36] So we're on to the first boss, which is a rapping pirate!

[04:54:43] So we can talk about how woody-damaged an enemy's here, but it's basically by jumping on their heads in a racing um now this boss looks

[04:54:51] pretty simple but later bosses and enemies it's going to be way more complicated because depending

[04:54:56] on the size of the enemy inside of the hitbox, Woody won't just snap straight to them.

[04:55:00] Woody! You made it back!

[04:55:02] Oh we got it! Let's go.

[04:55:06] Yeah. When Will was out they got me some sushi.

[04:55:11] Assume the position, fish boy!

[04:55:13] Wait, what did he say?

[04:55:14] I love that line.

[04:55:16] And nobody will call him fish boy.

[04:55:17] Ah, fish boy.

[04:55:19] I've been shamed by a darn switcher!

[04:55:24] Alright, my creative juices are blowin' now. Who's next?

[04:55:25] Brimstone. He blasted into that picture. It used to be a Greek painting...

[04:55:29] Difficulty is about to jump up big here in Greek World.

[04:55:33] Mm-hmm.

[04:55:39] God versus Pencil?

[04:55:41] Pencil wins every time, I'm telling you.

[04:55:49] Half the reason I'm running this game is that

[04:55:51] I happen to have a Sega CD, and

[04:55:54] one day on YouTube, I discovered the cutscenes

[04:55:56] and I was hooked. Instantly.

[04:55:58] Oh, real quick! Get ready to headbend! This song

[04:56:00] goes so hard!

[04:56:02] Yeah. This soundtrack is quite fantastic.

[04:56:07] But unironically, I really think

[04:56:08] this soundtrack is really good.

[04:56:10] It's worth noting the game's soundtrack

[04:56:12] was composed by guitarist Ron Thal, also known as Bumblefoot

[04:56:16] who would go on to be the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses for roughly a decade sometime after this

[04:56:21] game. So all I'm saying is that if you make a game like Wild Woody,

[04:56:25] You could become the guitarist of Guns N' Roses.

[04:56:28] So don't give up on your dreams!

[04:56:33] Um but yeah this song song is so good.

[04:56:37] Like, this song absolutely best song in the game.

[04:56:44] Yeah I could be taking a bomb path, but

[04:56:47] I kind of want to conserve

[04:56:48] health here.

[04:56:50] The thing about this game is that every level

[04:56:52] is absolutely littered with enemies

[04:56:54] and obstacles, and we're just going to be running or walking through

[04:56:57] them like 95% of the time.

[04:57:00] Which is very dangerous.

[04:57:02] So we need to make sure that

[04:57:03] our health stays within

[04:57:05] certain parameters so that we're not going to lose time.

[04:57:08] So you might notice that I'm kind of standing still and the

[04:57:12] platforms are disappearing underneath me, I'm actually holding down the erase button

[04:57:16] so it can kinda of skip the animation.

[04:57:18] It doesn't work for all surfaces, unfortunately, so...

[04:57:21] It seems to only work in certain levels. This is one

[04:57:24] of them. But yeah this is a-this is kinda funny strat

[04:57:27] So he's erasing things without actually activating the

[04:57:29] erasing animation.

[04:57:32] Yeah, and this stage has

[04:57:33] some weird issues

[04:57:35] loading, like

[04:57:37] collision? Yes, this level

[04:57:40] loads inconsistently constantly

[04:57:42] I think just like the quirk of the early CD

[04:57:44] based console. But

[04:57:46] sometimes tiles and chunks in this

[04:57:48] level load out of order and you'll notice it very

[04:57:51] quickly when we enter the final

[04:57:53] section if something is wrong. So I kind

[04:57:55] of hope that we get to see a little bit of Sprite

[04:57:57] garbage, but that's just me.

[04:58:00] Yeah.

[04:58:00] This level is called Minotaur Maze That's just me. Yeah...

[04:58:04] This level is called Minotaur Maze, but functionally every level in this game is a maze. They're all very labyrinth and huge.

[04:58:08] And that's kind of what I mean right here where it'll just kind of refuse to uh erase things

[04:58:15] it's actually playing nice for once but it knows man it's aware that it is on GQ now.

[04:58:23] So, um...

[04:58:25] Yeah, this is funny. I swear this only happens to Allegro but the game just kind of refuses to load the collision properly.

[04:58:33] But luckily we're at the exit.

[04:58:36] Alright, so

[04:58:37] we're going to be on to probably

[04:58:38] the heaviest platforming

[04:58:41] kind of stage.

[04:58:42] This is probably some of the most difficult platforming

[04:58:45] in the game here yeah i'm gonna kind of let brandy and cats take over yeah so um there

[04:58:50] are a lot of platform cycles in this level now luckily these cloud platforms here are solid but every

[04:58:57] other cloud platform that he's currently jumping on if he stays on for too long he will fall

[04:59:01] through it and it's worth noting that like the hitbox to land on these clouds is actually so much smaller

[04:59:08] than you think it is um so you can actually clear the cloud but still kind of fall through

[04:59:13] it if you're too far in the left or right and not in the center.

[04:59:16] So this level is really, really frustrating for that reason.

[04:59:20] Not to mention there's literally enemies everywhere throwing stuff at you in this level.

[04:59:26] Like, it is almost impossible to not get hit at least a few times.

[04:59:31] Another banger soundtrack to hear... I'll be saying that a lot but Greek World

[04:59:35] is some of my favorite songs in the game

[04:59:37] but there are some excellent pieces of music way better than wild woody deserves

[04:59:43] another thing to note that we didn't really get to talk about in the first boss.

[04:59:48] That song actually like, it falls into a Limp Bizkit rap.

[04:59:52] I'm not joking.

[04:59:53] I'd heavily recommend just looking up the soundtrack.

[04:59:56] I've never been on this level long enough.

[04:59:57] There's a rap in this level

[04:59:58] not in this and uh in yo-ho oh yes you just didn't have time to mention that one yo ho is

[05:00:05] the pirate boss defeated earlier but if you like a rap song going on during it.

[05:00:09] Only boss song with lyrics! So definitely

[05:00:11] recommend looking it up. Unfortunately it's also

[05:00:13] the fastest boss in the game so you barely get to hear it.

[05:00:20] We're almost out of here, Leggars. Got a few more jumps to make.

[05:00:22] Yeah, we gotta be really careful here.

[05:00:24] This last section can be a little bit dicey.

[05:00:26] If you fall here it is so GG.

[05:00:28] Oh he didn't because

[05:00:30] he's a pro. Alright, nightmare

[05:00:32] fuel warning that Xbox is a little creepy looking.

[05:00:37] Yeah, this boss

[05:00:39] can be a bit fickle.

[05:00:47] You're intended to basically wait for the cloud cycle here and you can just kind of drop down on the jewel

[05:00:49] And just erase it

[05:00:52] The hitbox in this boss is like embarrassingly small, it's so frustrating

[05:00:54] to try to hit this and Allegro

[05:00:56] is attempting a task strat called

[05:00:58] Cloudless Jump but like he said

[05:01:00] he's not going to wait for the platform cycle.

[05:01:02] He's just going to give it his all and get one big jump to the left.

[05:01:05] I'm gonna play safe there.

[05:01:06] Yeah, it is so much more difficult to make it without the cloud

[05:01:09] because you essentially have had to have the perfect jump into his head.

[05:01:15] What's nice about

[05:01:15] this boss, it's very easy to die here

[05:01:17] because the holes in the clouds are very large

[05:01:20] but thankfully this

[05:01:21] boss if you die your hits are saved but a leger is a pro yeah also fun fact that

[05:01:29] boss fight is not playing the correct music it's just a bug in the game

[05:01:34] later uh fight song so hang on we got more oscar-worthy animation

[05:01:40] you've got brimstone Look upon what used to be my mighty empire.

[05:01:53] It's completely ruined ruined hope you got insurance

[05:02:04] for some reason that line read.

[05:02:06] Yeah.

[05:02:07] Hang on, hang on.

[05:02:11] He's about to eat me.

[05:02:12] I know.

[05:02:16] Bro really comes straight at you there. I was commentating for Fresh Boy

[05:02:17] Warrior Land earlier this week and everything

[05:02:19] was like throwing in my face, I was scared.

[05:02:21] Alright so welcome to

[05:02:23] Industrial Rage a level that is

[05:02:25] not very angry.

[05:02:28] Yeah, so we've had the route change thanks to this task

[05:02:30] and we were able to skip drawing

[05:02:32] using a sketch, so

[05:02:34] we won't be seeing any sketches for a little while but

[05:02:36] Brandino's got a little bit of a tribute i think yeah

[05:02:40] i'm gonna go ahead and sketch out real quick what you used to see in this level give me a second Oh, uh... that's weird. I kinda wrote DK64randomizer.com.

[05:02:56] I don't know what happened there, I'm sorry.

[05:03:00] I guess I got possessed by Donkey Kong.

[05:03:03] I think that's a good cue for a quick donation.

[05:03:06] I have $50 here

[05:03:07] from Betty Omega who says

[05:03:08] Sorry to hear the grandino got de-voiced.

[05:03:13] Here's to the Pokemon White 2

[05:03:15] challenge, bro. Just a little update

[05:03:17] on that for everybody.

[05:03:19] We are now up to $9,321.58 out of the $20,000 we need.

[05:03:26] We're almost halfway there.

[05:03:28] Y'all are doing amazing.

[05:03:29] Please, please, please keep cooking on that incentive when

[05:03:32] you're donating to doctors without words let's keep going to the chef all right

[05:03:37] so we're on the dark power plant and there's some really small conveyor

[05:03:40] belts and right here focus And there's some really small conveyor belts.

[05:03:41] And right here, focus...

[05:03:44] Yeah, okay.

[05:03:45] If I fall down there that's quite a time loss.

[05:03:48] You might not realize it but that is one of the hardest jumping sections in the entire

[05:03:52] game right there. It's so easy to fall and

[05:03:54] those conveyor belts move you like straight to the edge of the platform instantly so you have such

[05:03:59] little time to react unless you want to sit there and like readjust your jumps repeatedly

[05:04:06] and yeah this stage is

[05:04:11] yeah there's a lot of enemies on the stage

[05:04:13] and there's gonna be some toxic waste I have to go through.

[05:04:18] So...

[05:04:18] Oh!

[05:04:20] I'm not going the right direction here.

[05:04:21] And my game senses hate this, but to end this level you go a very extended

[05:04:25] section moving to the left.

[05:04:27] But I always want to move to the right so this doesn't make

[05:04:29] any sense to me.

[05:04:31] Yeah. So we've got time for another quick donation

[05:04:34] and then finish the stage all right corinthian and 25

[05:04:38] dollars it says what did i wake up to speak the brilliance that is Wild Woody, obviously.

[05:04:47] I'm so glad to be able to share this game.

[05:04:49] It's such a goofy Sega CD classic.

[05:04:53] This was supposed to be a swan song for SEGA of America.

[05:04:56] Like imagine this being the game you're giving it your all on

[05:04:59] wild woody yeah alright so this is the average uh sonic speed runner right here

[05:05:07] ouch sonic speed runner right here

[05:05:12] ouch so we're gonna get some quick double hits here and we have to flip the laser on top of his head but this is a

[05:05:16] pretty simple boss yeah so fun fact if you fall off into the

[05:05:22] the pit right there after the the uh tongue piece has shown up

[05:05:26] uh you can crash the game

[05:05:34] we've got quite a few totems there's only a few left

[05:05:50] yeah yeah my brain go get him redhead i just know the guy doing the motion capture had the best

[05:05:54] day ever

[05:05:56] i can imagine so all right guys Welcome to Alien Homeworld.

[05:06:00] And they're actually going to see a really cool strat in this level,

[05:06:02] but it's also somewhat of an annoying strat.

[05:06:06] But if this all goes well,

[05:06:07] this will actually be one of the shortest levels in the game.

[05:06:10] Yeah, I'm nearly going to cross my fingers

[05:06:12] that... That missile! Oh my god, it wouldn't leave you

[05:06:14] alone. No, it would not.

[05:06:17] Sometimes you'll just

[05:06:18] have random stuff just flying

[05:06:20] from far away. all right here we go

[05:06:23] all right so allegro is attempting a glitch here it looks pretty simple oh my

[05:06:27] god yes let's go i can't even like pop off

[05:06:30] my voice is destroyed that That is really difficult.

[05:06:34] We were so worried about that.

[05:06:35] That's one of those strats

[05:06:36] that can go first try or 20th try

[05:06:38] and there's no difference it feels like.

[05:06:41] Yeah, that is a really just super inconsistent strat so uh so this is infested uh we actually

[05:06:51] are gonna use some sketch pads here so i get to flex my creative muscles once again.

[05:06:55] Yeah, haha! So we had to collect two sketch pads for a specific reason towards the end of the stage

[05:07:01] and right here we're having to deal with the gravity section

[05:07:04] and it's fairly difficult

[05:07:05] to control. Yeah, um

[05:07:07] so the thing with the gravity is that

[05:07:09] okay, Allegro has been attempting another trick

[05:07:11] let's see if he can get it actually

[05:07:13] This is a new Trish, so he's good. Yes!

[05:07:16] I am so glad that I got both. That was actually really hard.

[05:07:20] So what he was doing there is that he has to bait the enemy into coming by the little laser door

[05:07:24] and then jump on him at just the right time such that Woody

[05:07:27] gets sucked behind the laser door

[05:07:28] on top of the enemy. Because all enemies

[05:07:30] are like slightly magnetic to Woody's eraser.

[05:07:33] They think they can escape it,

[05:07:35] but they can't.

[05:07:36] Yeah,

[05:07:37] shout out

[05:07:37] to Sinduvial

[05:07:37] who just dropped

[05:07:39] the TAS

[05:07:39] out of nowhere

[05:07:40] for this game.

[05:07:41] Oh my god

[05:07:41] literally weeks

[05:07:42] before we came here

[05:07:43] was awesome

[05:07:43] we got a bunch

[05:07:44] of new stuff

[05:07:44] to show off

[05:07:45] because of it.

[05:07:46] Yeah

[05:07:46] it's crazy and hey if you're somebody

[05:07:49] out there who for some reason owns a copy of this game

[05:07:52] you should try it sometime all right so this is the sketch

[05:07:54] mechanic uh yeah what do you get shorter i need a and yeah

[05:07:57] what do you get shorter?

[05:08:00] I made a laser gun

[05:08:01] nice

[05:08:02] alright hang on next one

[05:08:04] magician hat

[05:08:07] so we didn't actually magician hat

[05:08:15] so yeah we didn't actually need the power-ups for any reason other than to just get small enough

[05:08:20] that little uh notepad there i do not want to pick that up or else woody would not be able to fit through and we wouldn't be able

[05:08:22] to finish the stage worth mentioning the end of this level

[05:08:25] like bugs out hard for some reason sometimes

[05:08:29] and like whatody will casually

[05:08:31] like okay hardest boss time also a bit creepy looking

[05:08:37] so this is alien love nest um the thing about this boss is that it's kind of a quick strat so allegro wants to

[05:08:43] jump up this uh this rope and then attack one of the blue gem and then get back onto the rope

[05:08:49] kind of in like a quick circular motion but what makes it difficult is that alien

[05:08:52] love nest is swiping at him with his tail for an insane amount of damage and it like summons these

[05:08:57] little kiss shaped bats which also like i said, Woody magnetizes to enemies

[05:09:03] when possible. So those kiss

[05:09:05] bats end up eating most of your inputs.

[05:09:08] There we go.

[05:09:09] Finally got hit in. Luckily this boss

[05:09:11] only takes three hits because they knew how bad it was.

[05:09:14] But yeah,

[05:09:15] it might look like Allegra is missing it

[05:09:17] wide open but the hitbox

[05:09:19] is so small.

[05:09:21] Now, don't worry about dying because any hits that we've already made will stay.

[05:09:26] Again they knew.

[05:09:28] Alright one more.

[05:09:30] There's like a specific height I try and aim for to jump off the rope.

[05:09:36] Relying on Woody's

[05:09:37] jump in this game is like,

[05:09:38] the worst thing you can do.

[05:09:39] Okay.

[05:09:40] That's...

[05:09:41] Nice!

[05:09:41] Yeah.

[05:09:43] Whew!

[05:09:44] That boss, like

[05:09:45] that bots 90% of the time

[05:09:48] is a difference maker between runs

[05:09:49] that continue and runs that don't.

[05:09:51] Oh yeah.

[05:09:54] Okay.

[05:09:56] Here's a space for that.

[05:10:02] Come on!

[05:10:03] We finished yet?

[05:10:04] One more job.

[05:10:08] You gotta go get Tombstone! You'll find him there.

[05:10:11] The last time Tombstone got his spine, people still wonder what happened to Atlantis...

[05:10:16] ...and the Titanic. Surely that was known. still wonder what happened to atlantis and the titanic

[05:10:17] surely that was no accident

[05:10:21] there's some deep lore in this game See my abilities and you'll have a stomach-shatter!

[05:10:27] Ability AND chance has got nothing to do with it, bright boy.

[05:10:31] And the name's not pencil that...

[05:10:33] Hang on.

[05:10:34] It's Woody!

[05:10:37] There he goes

[05:10:38] Hang on, listen

[05:10:41] He's still going

[05:10:46] That's my boy okay all right so welcome to the pit this is another incredible song

[05:10:54] i love this song and this level has changed a lot in the last few weeks because of the TAS.

[05:11:02] Sorta, yeah.

[05:11:04] Well...

[05:11:06] Go ahead and then- Oh! Yeah.

[05:11:08] You gotta do just this quick sketch.

[05:11:11] All right.

[05:11:12] This is my best drawing of a fist.

[05:11:16] So, yeah.

[05:11:18] We used to have to go through quite a bit of this stage um but thanks to the test

[05:11:22] we did find there was a way to get over a pretty big wall at the beginning there

[05:11:27] unfortunately it oh that's not a fist! Oops. I drew a Muckus.

[05:11:32] But yeah... the task

[05:11:36] basically kind of revealed that we can actually get over the wall

[05:11:40] at the beginning, but if

[05:11:43] without using a specific power-up that we're about to use here

[05:11:47] which is a ghost... Yeah.

[05:11:51] It looks like this right? Oh! i'm sorry that's my shopping list

[05:11:55] sorry now it's a ghost

[05:11:58] oh brandy no but yeah that's the wall we need to clear.

[05:12:03] In the test you can just kind of jump over it and use like a wall clip

[05:12:07] It's a really precise trick to get over that wall but with Ghost

[05:12:11] We could just fly right over it

[05:12:12] Shout out to Allegro for finding that

[05:12:14] out because that took a lot of patience to find the ghosts

[05:12:17] legitimately like i don't know how you found that yeah that was uh

[05:12:22] quite a that was quite an endeavor.

[05:12:25] Because I really wanted to get that task strap

[05:12:27] down, but I just realized

[05:12:29] that was just not going to happen.

[05:12:31] Yeah, we were practicing it beforehand and it's

[05:12:33] so- It's like you can get up to the two platforms that let you jump over

[05:12:37] the wall but actually jumping over the wall is ridiculously precise and this is not the game

[05:12:42] that you want precise jumps in yeah and those platforms i was just jumping off of? Those are very slippery. And you can easily run off them.

[05:12:50] Yes, those platforms are kind of like our conveyor belts from earlier but the moment you press an input on them, Woody will start sliding to the edge immediately

[05:12:57] and you have to react as soon as you possibly

[05:12:59] can. And we're just gonna

[05:13:01] keep jumping. This level is

[05:13:03] incredibly big.

[05:13:05] With the new strat because of the ghost tower we ended up saving like 20 30 seconds it

[05:13:10] was a lot of time just from skipping a lot of falling down and movement like this in the level

[05:13:17] all right one more level left and one more boss left yep so yeah uh this next stage is

[05:13:25] it's the last stage but but is surprisingly easy

[05:13:29] compared to the rest of the game.

[05:13:31] Yeah, these enemies don't do a lot

[05:13:33] of damage to Woody and

[05:13:35] in general this level

[05:13:37] is pretty short and pretty sweet although we're missing

[05:13:40] this platform cycle so we clearly spoke way too soon

[05:13:44] yeah thankfully the spikes do not cause

[05:13:47] like yeah i'm actually Like, you really don't

[05:13:51] take a lot of damage in this level.

[05:13:53] And you'd think you would because it's the last level.

[05:13:55] But because we have some time to chill

[05:13:57] I think it's pretty good for some shoutouts if you want

[05:13:58] to give them Allegro? Yeah.

[05:14:03] Like I said, shouts shasta and dubiola who worked on the tasks and just ppanda who is the current world record holder.

[05:14:14] Ran this like five years ago, I think?

[05:14:15] Yeah, it was a while ago.

[05:14:16] Yeah.

[05:14:20] That's kind of what kind of kicked me off to start running this.

[05:14:23] I'm kind of an avid collector, so I like to find weird stuff. And you

[05:14:27] won't find much weirder stuff than Wild Woody? Yep. So

[05:14:31] we got time for one quick donation, while we clear these pits here.

[05:14:34] Alright! Catstack sent in $25 and said I'm so glad we live in a country that gives us

[05:14:40] a day off for Ciliblon. Hy hype for the runs and uh yeah what do you say god bless

[05:14:46] america all right so we got another banger track coming up oh and you guys aren't ready

[05:14:52] if you've never seen this boss i'm just telling you it's the

[05:14:56] i don't know what they were thinking about this boss design okay we didn't get it so uh you gotta

[05:15:02] listen for the flush and why do we have to listen for the flush?

[05:15:04] It's because this boss is a giant toilet that you flush.

[05:15:09] Yeah, we had to lure

[05:15:10] the flying green monkey

[05:15:12] into the lever

[05:15:14] for the toilet.

[05:15:16] That's what this spot says.

[05:15:18] Yeah, so to give shoutouts real quick on my end

[05:15:20] I want to thank Allegro for having me here

[05:15:22] Um, I'm also an avid collector

[05:15:24] and I love very silly stuff like Wild Woody.

[05:15:28] Um, I'm a big Conker's Bad Fur Day speedrunner so this game kind of reminds me of that from

[05:15:32] a few years prior.

[05:15:33] Um, thank you so much for having me and shout out to anybody who's out there running really obscure games like Wild Woody,

[05:15:39] You're seen and we love you!

[05:15:41] Alright get ready on time?

[05:15:43] GG!

[05:15:45] Sorry for the last minute.'s okay all right and yeah we got one more cutscene right here

[05:15:51] we're gonna enjoy oh yay please enjoy this cutscene Oh.

[05:16:05] Man, it's good to be home! Woody, I can't believe it! You're sharper than I thought!

[05:16:08] You did it!

[05:16:08] Yeah, all they did was bust their guts.

[05:16:11] Chira, you just saved the universe.

[05:16:13] Once you toss Tombstone on top,

[05:16:15] I'll put these bozos back on ice.

[05:16:17] But first, you deserve a reward!

[05:16:20] Anything you want pal, you name it!

[05:16:22] You wanna be king of the world?

[05:16:24] Super power pro!

[05:16:40] He's only got one thing in mind. Just toss two soda and you'll get your wish. I am all powerful young pencil,

[05:16:43] You shall not defeat me!

[05:16:46] Sorry Bob, but it's game over!

[05:16:49] Woody's got the rock and time's running out.

[05:16:51] He's at the top of the key. Three, two, one...

[05:16:54] he shoots! It's good!!!

[05:16:58] We did it, Woody.

[05:16:59] I'll see you next time the world needs saving.

[05:17:02] Yeah, only if we sell a zillion units.

[05:17:05] They didn't sell a zillion units.

[05:17:07] Nope.

[05:17:17] No! You gotta see Woody's expression here.

[05:17:18] He looks so pained.

[05:17:25] And that's Wild Woody for the Sega CD. That is... yeah, oh my goodness.

[05:17:30] But again thank you to Brandino for commentating for this nonsense.

[05:17:37] I'm so happy to be here.

[05:17:38] Thanks for letting me flex my sketching power.

[05:17:40] Yeah.

[05:17:41] And thank you to the GQ staff for accepting this.

[05:22:01] Summer Games Done Quick

[05:22:03] 2024

[05:22:04] powered by Twitch, benefiting

[05:22:07] of course Doctors

[05:22:09] Without Borders. My name is Quack Silver and it

[05:22:13] is my solemn duty now to lead us all out of the silly block

[05:22:18] and into the rest of this amazing marathon.

[05:22:22] But we still have

[05:22:24] plenty of silly runs

[05:22:26] left to go, and as I look

[05:22:29] at where we are this fine morning

[05:22:31] we are so perilously close to $700,000 total raise for Doctors Without Borders.

[05:22:41] And as I say that, we hit it. Let's go!

[05:22:50] Thank you so much everyone who contributed to make that happen.

[05:22:56] Like for instance this $25 donation here from Netsky

[05:23:00] Who says, good morning GDQ let's get to 700K.

[05:23:05] Get to 700 K we absolutely did.

[05:23:10] This morning is all about momentum

[05:23:12] and as we start to shift gears

[05:23:14] from the end of the silly block to the beginning from the end of the silly block

[05:23:15] to the beginning of the rest of the run everyone twitch chat please keep your

[05:23:20] eyes on that pokemon white 2 challenge mode

[05:23:24] upgrade incentive.

[05:23:28] Just as we crossed the $700,000 mark,

[05:23:30] we have also just crossed a halfway point on that incentive.

[05:23:33] We have raised $10,000

[05:23:36] out of the 20,000 necessary to upgrade the white 2 to challenge mode. I also have a $50 donation here from Matt, who says,

[05:23:56] Long time watcher. First-time donator from Down Under. who says, I agree. Let's hear it for Silly Block is the best part every year.

[05:24:08] I agree.

[05:24:09] Let's hear it for Silly Block, y'all!

[05:24:31] I also have a $25 donation here from EliteNerd314, who says, was able to catch a bit of silly block. Always love seeing these silly games.

[05:24:33] ...

[05:24:35] ...

[05:24:54] ... And similarly, I have $25 here from Adeline who says got up early to watch the silly block and I'm not regretting a minute of it have 25 bulbasaur's towards the pokemon incentive thank you so much for that generous donation

[05:24:59] keep that incentive in your mind but we're not even close to done with silly block

[05:25:04] in fact i'd say silly block is on a roll and i am delighted to introduce envyvy running Sushi Soul Universe!

[05:25:18] Sushi, sushi.

[05:25:28] How's it going? I'm B and I am joined by these three lovely people. Would you like to introduce yourselves?

[05:25:33] Hi, I'm Bystander Tim. You saw me crash a bus live on stage two runs ago.

[05:25:34] Hi, I'm Amarlyn.

[05:25:35] I'm Sheer.

[05:25:37] Hi, I'm Teddy.

[05:25:39] I was here earlier too.

[05:25:40] So because of your donations

[05:25:42] we're going to be doing

[05:25:43] a voice acting incentive, so there are

[05:25:45] a lot of cutscenes in this game and

[05:25:47] very interesting cutscenes, so

[05:25:49] the three people on my couch will be helping me

[05:25:51] to bring those to life

[05:25:53] a little bit.

[05:25:54] As we get in here,

[05:25:56] we're gonna get started in 3...

[05:25:58] 2... 1...

[05:26:00] Go!

[05:26:04] Sushi!

[05:26:09] Alright, so this is a sequel to I'm Going To Die If I Don't Eat

[05:26:11] Sushi. There are

[05:26:13] two of these games which is incredible

[05:26:15] This game's actually better,

[05:26:17] and the plot is

[05:26:19] less comprehensible so...

[05:26:21] It's gonna be a good- Okay I just missed that

[05:26:23] this isn't up yet. Yeah need

[05:26:25] that one

[05:26:33] all right so we're collecting sushi uh we have a health bar at the top and if it goes all the way to the bottom or the left uh we die forever um but we need to get 15 sushi on the right there

[05:26:41] uh once you do that the game will be over so thanks for donating appreciate it five thousand uh...

[05:26:53] thank you

[05:26:57] since he is so good today

[05:27:06] What the hell is going on? The sushi is disappearing

[05:27:09] That's not all earth Earth and the sky!

[05:27:11] There's a lot of them, man.

[05:27:14] Sushi lover, please visit.

[05:27:16] Can you hear me?

[05:27:18] I am the great sushi will.

[05:27:20] Now, there comes up the sushi I am the great Sushi Will!

[05:27:25] Now, the concept of sushi in the universe is being rewritten by someone.

[05:27:33] The enemy seems to be so powerful that it can twist the cause and effect of the universe!

[05:27:46] Now is the time to turn your thoughts into power. Save this cosmic sushi with your passion I'll do it thank you for your courageous decision This is gonna be great. We have another like half an hour of that!

[05:27:54] It was never coming to my side, it's like a sushi sauce! The power to disbelieve all!

[05:27:59] So it should be mentioned that Teddy's speeder on this game, Tim and I are basically reading

[05:28:05] this blind.

[05:28:06] And the game does not make it clear who's speaking at all in any sort of way.

[05:28:11] Yeah.

[05:28:12] So if we mess up who's talking at any point I'm really sorry

[05:28:14] Make sure to point and laugh

[05:28:16] If you thought that pacing was good

[05:28:18] wait till later

[05:28:19] The game is pretty normal so far. There are just multiple earths in

[05:28:25] the sky and we're collecting sushi to try to collect some sushi souls.

[05:28:29] It's pretty normal at a giant sushi shop, ya know? Yeah.

[05:28:33] Now is that a normal sushi shop or are we just small?

[05:28:37] This is a great question.

[05:28:38] The philosophers will be arguing about this for years.

[05:28:40] Yeah.

[05:28:41] Tweet the developer asking.

[05:28:42] This is very important for the Sushi Wiki.

[05:28:45] We're going to put that on there

[05:28:46] is she guy just small sorry how'd you say it

[05:28:50] so anyways this is a second

[05:28:53] so we have different goals for some of these levels this one's to reach the

[05:28:56] goal but we want to buy something from the shop that was just shown.

[05:29:01] So we're gonna do that, but we need to collect some sushi to get some points that we can turn in...

[05:29:05] For tokens that we can turn into tickets that we can turn in for tokens, that we can turn in for tickets,

[05:29:08] that we can turn in for a power-up

[05:29:09] that we are going to grab

[05:29:12] in the next area

[05:29:14] which should be

[05:29:16] a little bit...

[05:29:22] You can just jump, you can die after you- or you can't die after you finish a level

[05:29:24] but you CAN jump into the void

[05:29:25] so we'll be doing that as much as humanly possible.

[05:29:29] Alright, so we're gonna go over here

[05:29:31] and do this wonderful level

[05:29:35] As you collect the Sushi Souls more of these doorways

[05:29:37] open up they have more options.

[05:29:39] So people much smarter than me figured out which levels were the quickest.

[05:29:43] We had levels like this where you pick up a red sushi and only pick those up.

[05:29:54] And yeah! I don't know what that you just read sushi i'm not a sushi

[05:29:58] there's a lot of people watching

[05:30:01] if you keep collecting sushi stalls at this rate the lost sushi will eventually

[05:30:05] return to normal

[05:30:08] sushi is not food.

[05:30:12] I sense an evil force, that one seems to be the one responsible for rewriting the concept of sushi!

[05:30:19] Oh my god at this rate the sushi of this universe

[05:30:25] i didn't notice the face the sushi calm down and listen

[05:30:30] sushi which existed as food has been reinterpreted

[05:30:33] as an arm.

[05:30:36] If things continue like this sushi

[05:30:38] which has become a weapon

[05:30:39] will end up killing us!

[05:30:41] Worst case scenario

[05:30:42] but still as long

[05:30:43] as you're inhabiting the sushi soul I believe there's

[05:30:46] still a way to get your sushi back.

[05:30:49] Very cool. The power to travel through the multiverse

[05:30:52] through the love of sushi a lot of sushi.

[05:30:54] Let's call this verse shift.

[05:30:57] If hope disappears from this universe,

[05:30:59] it is until it is found in another universe.

[05:31:02] Come on, let's go together.

[05:31:04] Hey, I love sushi!

[05:31:05] We will travel to many universes and bring back Sushi as Food!

[05:31:11] Alright, so a bunch of planets are about to get exploded.

[05:31:17] I don't know what those universes were, as you'll see Sushi becomes different in these universes so we can kind of like

[05:31:25] brainstorm on what's going on in those events a little bit.

[05:31:28] Yeah so...

[05:31:30] There were like 10 out there- oh fuck, nevermind.

[05:31:32] We lost a couple at the end there!

[05:31:35] Alright, so we're-

[05:31:39] Looks like you succeeded in first shift. This is a different universe than the one we came from!

[05:31:41] It seems that the concept of sushi here is not seen as food, but as sport.

[05:31:50] Even if there are different interpretations of sushi, there must be a

[05:31:52] sushi soul in this universe.

[05:31:55] Hey there, sushi lover! You will undergo a new test that transcends the boundaries of this universe!

[05:32:02] I forgot how much you're talking during this, Tim!

[05:32:07] We did split up all these roles beforehand and we just kind of picked Arbisher early.

[05:32:12] Yeah, which means it might get a little bit weird at the end when we have the big finale

[05:32:18] of this run, which is going gonna be a great time okay i don't know if

[05:32:22] those things are going to actually so yeah there's like a like a pitching machine that's throwing

[05:32:28] green sushi ice cream sushi's bad is bad, it probably was something

[05:32:31] worth mentioning like six minutes ago

[05:32:33] You don't want to touch that

[05:32:35] It hurts you

[05:32:37] I'm gonna go over here

[05:32:39] and do another little... actually this is probably a good time to

[05:32:41] read a couple donations perfect while i struggle to keep up with

[05:32:45] the plot there's plenty of love coming in for you

[05:32:48] envy first instance a generous 500 donation from the feds they say to sushi silly games

[05:32:59] and new friends thank you so much for that generous donation to doctors without borders

[05:33:06] can i have time for one more go for it amazing i have 49.90 from the Sushi Train conductor, who says all aboard

[05:33:15] the sushi train choo-choo!

[05:33:17] Three yellow, two reds, three blue, one gray, one purple.

[05:33:22] Thank you The Fets for your incredibly generous gestures! 700k hype!

[05:33:28] Hype!

[05:33:29] Wait how many purples?

[05:33:33] This is where I reveal how little I know about sushi and I out myself

[05:33:37] And never happen to play another sushi game on here ever again

[05:33:40] Purple's usually the most expensive plate

[05:33:42] I was about to say that wasn't a game thing. That was a real money thing.

[05:33:45] No!

[05:33:49] Anyways.

[05:33:51] Sushi.

[05:33:53] So

[05:33:53] I'm a little bit short on cash so we're going go do another level and then we're gonna buy a cool power-up that's gonna make us go a little faster.

[05:34:01] There are all these people here when you run by them they say stuff it's probably important.

[05:34:10] Anyways, we're going gonna go do this level uh just a bunch of trampolines another pitching robot here for some reason i don't know it's weird

[05:34:15] sushi is supporting here that's true i'm happy you were paying attention That's weird. Sushi is a sport here.

[05:34:17] It will not be a quiz afterwards, because I'm going to bed.

[05:34:28] Yay! I need it.

[05:34:36] Alright, we're gonna go buy our power-up over here to grab this and I'm not going to press the wrong one because if I do that, the

[05:34:37] entire rest of the run is miserable. And we'll just sit in silence.

[05:34:42] So you can only have one skill on at a time so we're not gonna buy any more

[05:34:46] We're an escape park here and there's a bunch of evil, bad sushi people that are coming after us on skateboards made out of bad sushi.

[05:34:56] And they just kind of go wherever they want to go.

[05:34:58] If they run into me it is kind of go wherever they want to go. If they run into me, it's kind of a them problem.

[05:35:02] But they were really nice which is really cool.

[05:35:04] They also run towards you during the cutscene.

[05:35:08] It doesn't do anything. I never thought about it sushi is sport in this universe

[05:35:11] that implies nothing like bikes and skateboards yeah the wheels are made

[05:35:15] worst way to get around possible I mean some sushi could be round.

[05:35:22] That's how wheels work right?

[05:35:25] Is it you? The bullshit guy who eats sushi and is causing a stir in Shibuya is...

[05:35:31] He seems like yourself that exists in this universe

[05:35:36] sushi is a wonderful thing that brings everyone together

[05:35:44] i won't allow you to insult that.

[05:35:49] It's time to sweat it out with sushi! Alright, this is our first boss fight.

[05:35:59] So the spawn points for the boss here are set beforehand.

[05:36:07] So you just kinda run into these and they eventually screams.

[05:36:16] It's fine, it's fine!

[05:36:18] We'll eat a couple sushi about it.

[05:36:25] Alright cool, now he's immediately our friend because we ate a bunch of sushi.

[05:36:28] Haha! It was a good match!

[05:36:33] It seems like I misunderstood you somehow...

[05:36:36] I guess you're just like me, a player fascinated by the heat of sushi.

[05:36:40] You're passing through sushi!

[05:36:42] I will not forget it!

[05:36:44] Let's compete again all right so you might be noticing a trend with the new characters

[05:36:50] in this game um they're they're a little bit similar to the protagonist which is not

[05:36:56] a trend that's going to continue for the rest of

[05:36:57] the game so this level's evil um you have to push a ball into the net and it kind of we're just kind

[05:37:06] of watching i'm not actually playing the game while this is happening,

[05:37:08] it just goes where it wants to go and

[05:37:10] I try my best!

[05:37:12] And my best is not good enough unfortunately.

[05:37:14] There we go.

[05:37:16] I mean, we already thought of... That was not bad!

[05:37:19] That was pretty good!

[05:37:23] Oh there's the balls? The balls are falling down!

[05:37:27] Cool, alright, we're going to a different universe.

[05:37:29] Alright here I go talking to myself.

[05:37:33] Hey we each get to have a moment of that.

[05:37:35] In this universe the concept for sushi seems to be considered technology.

[05:37:46] Alright so what is sushi being technology mean?

[05:37:51] I don't know, honestly.

[05:37:54] I guess we'll see, I don't know.

[05:37:57] We have these weird robot things that have sushi chasing after us.

[05:38:06] If they do catch up with you and they will just kind of chase

[05:38:09] at the end of your, um... They will just kind of chase you out of the earth um

[05:38:12] they will just combo you a bunch of times and make your life miserable

[05:38:15] they can just like instant kill you it sucks that's what that's our great

[05:38:18] camera angle let's there he is I can see his arm!

[05:38:23] If you could see his arm,

[05:38:25] he ate it.

[05:38:29] Alright this is probably a good time for

[05:38:31] a couple donations then.

[05:38:33] Absolutely, and the Sushi Train

[05:38:35] is rolling along following you from universe to universe.

[05:38:39] I have a $35 donation

[05:38:41] from Lanku DC who says, buying my ticket

[05:38:44] for the sushi train with one plate

[05:38:46] of every color. Choo-choo!

[05:38:48] All aboard!

[05:38:51] I also

[05:38:52] have a $30 donation here from tutti the fruity who says

[05:38:57] donating a dollar for every order of sushi i made this week leading up to

[05:39:01] this pivotal moment sushi is love sushi is life sushi is sports sushi is technology

[05:39:08] sushi is everything i don't want to say the thing but him just disappearing from

[05:39:13] that camera is something that's not happened before for

[05:39:15] me all right whoops what there's the goo you see dookie? Is that wasabi?

[05:39:27] I don't know, they don't explain

[05:39:29] anything in this game.

[05:39:31] We're trying our best over here.

[05:39:33] This level just has a goop, you've got to accept it.

[05:39:35] Yeah, the goop rises up during the levels so if you take too long

[05:39:39] You die but thankfully we're doing this thing called a speedrun

[05:39:43] And I should never have that be a problem.

[05:39:53] We only need...

[05:39:55] 9 more,ured it out.

[05:39:58] It's early. Not that I can

[05:40:00] do math normally. Okay, there's actually a strat on this level.

[05:40:03] This is a cool level. You have to pay attention.

[05:40:04] Unless I mess it up and look away.

[05:40:09] So there's a cycle here and we should have

[05:40:11] okay I missed that, oh well

[05:40:13] so we can use this to damage

[05:40:15] boost up. It's the one time where you

[05:40:17] use the damage boost the entire run.

[05:40:19] He just keeps going through the maze and interacting with the level, so...

[05:40:25] Sometimes you try to do that and get hit by it and then die

[05:40:28] And it's really sad.

[05:40:30] But yeah, we're good.

[05:40:33] Cool. So we are finishing up

[05:40:35] one more level, and then we'll do

[05:40:36] the boss fight with

[05:40:38] the unknown sushi soul of this universe.

[05:40:42] So before we get to that cutscene,

[05:40:44] let's do a couple more donations.

[05:40:48] You got it!

[05:40:50] And just as a reminder for everyone out there,

[05:40:52] we are now very close to $11,000 raised

[05:40:56] for that Pokemon White 2 Challenge Mode incentive.

[05:40:59] I love to see these numbers climbing.

[05:41:03] I have a $25 donation

[05:41:05] here from Morning Possum, who says

[05:41:07] save the soul of sushi,

[05:41:08] save the world! Thanks to Envy

[05:41:10] and Couch Team for undertaking this critical endeavor.

[05:41:13] Are you the sushi-eating man detected by the Shibuya surveillance system?

[05:41:22] Sushi is an algorithm responsible for the evolution of society.

[05:41:27] I will delete bugs that threaten the future of humanity.

[05:41:32] It's time to execute the sushi function!

[05:41:38] I love his glasses.

[05:41:41] So, uh... he just tries to hit us and then we dash forward and hopefully don't die

[05:41:48] there's different attacks i don't know if there's an order to it because this is the

[05:41:51] easiest of the boss fights um you can just get hit by everything.

[05:41:56] I don't know why the sushi's...

[05:41:57] What's the difference between the sushi colors?

[05:42:00] You have green sushi, and then normal sushi,

[05:42:02] and you have blue sushi, and...

[05:42:03] I guess it's because of technology

[05:42:06] i don't know what that means either still anyways the boss fight is over that was fun

[05:42:13] i see i understand it seems like you are creating new value for sushi using your own logic

[05:42:21] i'm sorry for being so rude your understanding and interest in

[05:42:25] sushi may be what society truly needs today

[05:42:35] the power of sushi flows open the door to a new universe.

[05:42:39] Well, let's go Sushi Lover!

[05:42:42] Thank you Tim for agreeing to do this.

[05:42:44] Oh wait I have to go this way there is a level.

[05:42:47] I've done this game before, I promise.

[05:42:48] Just a few times.

[05:42:51] Alright so at this level you're supposed to read the arrows on the ground there

[05:42:56] but if you just kinda of do that and then

[05:42:59] So half the platforms are

[05:43:01] collision. You can just memorize it

[05:43:04] and you're good.

[05:43:07] If you don't, you die.

[05:43:10] Alright Now we're gonna...

[05:43:12] Now we're going to go to the new universe!

[05:43:15] This one is a little interesting if you read the frame that it was on

[05:43:20] Happy Sushi Easter frame that it was on

[05:43:26] happy sushi easter in this universe the concept of sushi seems to be considered a god Just normal stuff.

[05:43:37] Anyways, we're doing like the two worst levels of the game because this tornadoornado here actively hates you.

[05:43:42] Well, now I have to...

[05:43:44] Yeah, never mind.

[05:43:45] Not dealing with

[05:43:49] this today.

[05:43:50] We're going to try it again.

[05:43:54] This Tornado makes you move really slow when you're inside of it just okay this is not going great i'm not gonna die again i promise

[05:44:02] maybe i'm gonna die again

[05:44:04] I'm considering it

[05:44:06] I think I don't have to- oh no we're fine

[05:44:08] We're rerouting on the fly

[05:44:12] To try and have this tornado not come after me why does this level of music go hard too yeah

[05:44:17] we were realizing while we were waiting none of us had sat down and actually listened to menu

[05:44:21] music and it goes on for like six minutes, and it just goes super hard

[05:44:24] for no reason whatsoever.

[05:44:29] That was a mess.

[05:44:29] We're not gonna talk about it.

[05:44:33] You remember Flappy Bird by any any chance for no reason in particular

[05:44:40] so anyways this is a floppy bird

[05:44:44] there's just a bunch of laser beams everywhere, and if any of them hits you,

[05:44:50] you lose your momentum forward and then you die.

[05:44:56] And now we're falling into the void.

[05:44:57] Remember, don't delete that off your sushi phone!

[05:45:01] Cool, we're gonna do a boss fight now.

[05:45:05] This is very interesting cutscene... something.

[05:45:11] It's you! What is the sushi-eating devil that appeared in Shibuya?

[05:45:20] Sushi is food, I say! voodoo ah horrible

[05:45:24] repent

[05:45:27] and the act that desecrates

[05:45:29] the almighty father sushi will never be tolerated

[05:45:31] I blame you instead of

[05:45:35] sushi

[05:45:35] it's almost time to be judged by sushi!

[05:45:47] This boss fight is actually hard. if anything goes wrong i probably just die

[05:45:53] but nothing is going to go wrong something went wrong hopefully there's sushi over here.

[05:46:04] So while I've been down here, he's been spawning a bunch of obstacles which is gonna be...

[05:46:08] Holy moly!

[05:46:09] Yeah none of the- oh man.

[05:46:14] I tried so hard!

[05:46:16] You almost pulled it back too.

[05:46:18] I think technically this is going to be the fastest boss fight, but also it's really hard.

[05:46:25] He shoots like giant fricking pillars of light at you and stuff.

[05:46:28] Like that right there!

[05:46:30] There we are. That's how I'm supposed to look.

[05:46:40] Wonderful! You showed your love for sushi with your actions.

[05:46:46] Although our beliefs are different,

[05:46:48] Our hearts seek salvation in sushi.

[05:46:55] The path you took was the same as mine

[05:47:03] let's continue to believe in sushi and praise sushi together

[05:47:08] may the blessings of Sushi upon our departing neighbors. Yeah, the audio for the person in this universe is significantly louder than anyone else's dialing in the game

[05:47:16] for just no reason. You're just screaming into

[05:47:18] the microphone. Alright, there's a last world

[05:47:20] over there but we don't have enough Sushi Souls

[05:47:22] so we're going to do some extra levels

[05:47:23] So it would be actually time for a couple more donations then.

[05:47:28] Amazing, well you keep hunting for sushi on your end and I will keep the train going here!

[05:47:33] We have $10 from I'm Going to die if I don't eat sushi,

[05:47:37] who simply says,

[05:47:39] I'm going to die if I don't eat sushi.

[05:47:43] I also have $53.92

[05:47:48] here from Kashi Takahashi, who says

[05:47:50] one green, one yellow, three red,

[05:47:52] one blue, one gray, one purple

[05:47:54] and one strawberry Raccoon

[05:47:55] I hope everyone was keeping up with that. Thank you so much for that generous donation.

[05:48:01] Is that with tax?

[05:48:06] Time for one more? Yeah, go for it! Keep going.

[05:48:08] I also have $40 here from Gaussmark2 who says

[05:48:11] Here's my ticket to the sushi train with two blue,

[05:48:14] two gray and one red. Best of luck, Envy! Wasn't the sushi gun in the last universe?

[05:48:33] The serenity of his face.

[05:48:36] He's very focused, is that what Sushi Salvation was like?

[05:48:40] Ascending to a new universe cool all right we're going back to the arms sushi

[05:48:45] universe oh boy here we go we're finally back into our universe.

[05:48:52] But the power of the sushi souls you have collected

[05:48:54] wants to restore the concept that sushi

[05:48:56] has become a weapon

[05:48:57] to its original state.

[05:48:59] Thanks to you, sushi in this universe will be saved!

[05:49:03] Thank you very much.

[05:49:05] Dead.

[05:49:19] Sushi is not food. What an ironic fate, the last person standing in front of me who has always hated sushi.

[05:49:24] I never thought that my other self who loves sushi was my enemy

[05:49:31] Hey another beat the fight ends here the time get yourself why i heard this is happening if

[05:49:35] you're like me there's no other reason you don't like sushi oh come on look at

[05:49:40] universe there's no way anyone could like sushi man look good like Sushi Man. My hometown was burned by sushi! My older brother, the only

[05:49:49] one in the family got sushi stuck in his body! Sushi is the worst weapon.

[05:49:56] With a miraculous power I was given on the brink of death,

[05:49:59] I saw sushi from other multiverses.

[05:50:02] Food, sports, technology... God!

[05:50:08] Yes, the concept is different but sushi was loved in every universe

[05:50:11] cannot forgive there are countless types of sushi that continue to be love

[05:50:16] i will not allow this multiverse!

[05:50:20] My only purpose is by unifying the concept of sushi through the universes as

[05:50:24] ours. I will make the entire universe deny

[05:50:28] the existence of sushi

[05:50:33] sushi reflect reflect on it!

[05:50:43] You said, eat sushi. That's good. I'll feed you plenty.

[05:50:47] Oh wait that is your mind

[05:51:05] the strongest sushi in the universe time to get burn a death by sush I tried to die quickly.

[05:51:07] I was not good at dying, unfortunately.

[05:51:09] Alright, we're dead.

[05:51:14] I win! The whole universe! It's time to die by sushi fire!

[05:51:34] Kyaaaaaaahhhhhh!! it's time to sweat it out with sushi. It's time to execute the

[05:51:36] sushi function!

[05:51:38] It's almost time to be judged by

[05:51:40] sushi!

[05:51:42] Hahaha! time to be judged by sushi

[05:51:50] why are you guys here saving the maximum firepower of sushi why are you alive

[05:51:55] it's easy sushi is fun i completely understand sushi that's a

[05:52:01] natural result sushi is always good and cannot take someone's life i believe so

[05:52:10] that's it

[05:52:14] still here it still you i don't know what's going on why are

[05:52:17] you standing here sushi must be delicious

[05:52:23] dear sushi lover.

[05:52:25] I believed in you.

[05:52:27] Yeah!

[05:52:32] Whether it's sports, technology, god or weapons It doesn't matter.

[05:52:36] Ali Oh! It doesn't matter. Ali- Oh, the sushi!

[05:52:40] It's time to bring back

[05:52:42] sushi! Yeah!

[05:52:47] Alright cool, We get control for like five seconds and we go back to cutscenes so...

[05:52:52] That was fun. Cool.

[05:52:55] Gaming.

[05:52:59] If this happens, I'll become a weapon myself!

[05:53:01] Then we too

[05:53:03] will be the hope!

[05:53:08] So this is the final boss of the game, so time is coming up

[05:53:10] when the final Sushi Soul appears

[05:53:12] So we're infused with

[05:53:14] a power of different multiverses

[05:53:16] of ourselves, so we have different abilities we're gonna get as

[05:53:20] we go through this boss fight kicking these guys oh there's a guy all right

[05:53:27] cool so now here's the power to sue Stop doing that. Cool!

[05:53:28] So now we have the power to sushi convert, so we turn green sushi into normal sushi

[05:53:35] But once we've converted enough of these, next phase of the boss fight happened

[05:53:42] hopefully soon no okay

[05:53:48] one day there we go so he spawns here and we get the last power which is to deflect his projectiles but if you put them right in front of him it immediately gets blocked.

[05:53:58] And uh... you do this!

[05:54:01] So time is coming up, we have one more

[05:54:05] QTE here...

[05:54:09] You have to bash a whole bunch

[05:54:14] and

[05:54:22] i forgot this's this long time

[05:54:31] all right unfortunately we probably do not have enough time to watch this cutscene because it's like six minutes long so

[05:54:35] in true anime ending fashion

[05:54:37] So y'all will have to buy the game if you want to see whatever is happening on the screen right now

[05:54:41] But thank you to everyone on my couch

[05:54:43] for putting all this effort into voice acting this,

[05:54:45] we appreciate it a whole bunch and with that

[05:54:50] we're gonna sign off.

[05:54:51] Thank y'all for all of the donations

[05:54:53] and the 700k.

[05:54:54] Hitting that right before the run was really cool,

[05:54:55] so keep donating, keep supporting

[05:54:57] the marathon.

[05:55:00] Let's go sushi!

[05:55:01] Let's go sushi!

[05:55:04] Give it up one more time for Envy and the incredible voice cast of Sushi Soul Universe.

[05:55:18] I hope everyone's silly block is proceeding

[05:55:20] apace

[05:55:21] we are going to take just a

[05:55:24] quick break to stretch get some water, keep the energy up and set

[05:55:29] up the next run which you are in for an absolute treat so do not close that tab. And while we are changing over, friends, I simply must continue to share the sushi train and the sushi love for

[05:56:02] the Sushi Game. I have a $25 donation here from Kitatsu hobo who says rice and shine gdq i'm so excited to watch this amazing run

[05:56:16] the iconic voice acting makes me so happy that there's Nori-san not to donate.

[05:56:22] In the meantime, let's Maki that Pokemon incentive happen!

[05:56:28] Thank you so much for that donation.

[05:56:31] The more puns you can fit in a donation, and this is a true fact

[05:56:35] the better it is. And speaking of that Pokemon

[05:56:38] White 2 incentive,

[05:56:40] we have just crossed $11,300

[05:56:44] of the $20,000 necessary to see White 2 Challenge Mode.

[05:56:50] So when you are donating to Doctors Without Borders, make sure that

[05:56:54] you are clicking those incentives because I would like to see this GDQ

[05:56:59] last as long As possible

[05:57:02] I also

[05:57:09] Have a $25

[05:57:10] Donation here from An anonymous who says our seems in this universe.

[05:57:31] The concept of sushi is donations.

[05:57:35] Well, I got a donator!

[05:57:36] I'm gonna die so here you go.

[05:57:39] Please don't hurt yourself

[05:57:41] but thank you so much for that generous donation

[05:57:51] i also have 25 here from silvermay 67 who says happy silly fourth watching with my grandkids carrying on the GDQ tradition. I think that is so sweet. I love to see the legacy

[05:58:07] that GDQ has built up.

[05:58:20] And a final sushi train donation to close out the universe. We have $25 here from Turpogaming who says,

[05:58:23] Two purple plates and one green plate.

[05:58:25] So that's $25 for my ticket on the sushi train. Thank you so

[05:58:31] much to everyone who got in on that sushi train, I appreciate you. you And welcome back everyone to Summer Games Done Quick 2024. I hope everyone had an excellent break

[05:59:07] to imbibe some water or perhaps some sushi. But in case you didn't know,

[05:59:13] In this universe there are other things we can snack on and so I would love

[05:59:18] to let you listen into this video from one of our lovely sponsors

[05:59:27] you're entering the doritos dimension jolt into a world of tangy and sweet barbecue. Gallop through bold spices

[05:59:34] and explore every mind-blowing angle. Giddy up! Try another angle with the new

[05:59:40] Barbecue D Doritos. I'm not only sponsoring this event, but sustaining me personally through the silly block.

[05:59:54] I appreciate it a lot!

[05:59:57] We are just getting set up for our next run, Zoombinis, which is absolutely unhinged in the best possible way.

[06:00:10] But while we do I would just like to let everyone know that we have crossed $11,600 of the 20,000 necessary

[06:00:17] for our Pokemon White 2 Challenge Mode Upgrade Incentive.

[06:00:23] The wild thing about the

[06:00:25] mainline Pokemon games is that

[06:00:27] White 2 is the only game

[06:00:29] that has a hard mode. It was not

[06:00:31] even kept for other games in

[06:00:33] the same generation. It is truly a unique experience

[06:00:36] and you don't want to miss it,

[06:00:38] so keep those donations

[06:00:40] coming in.

[06:00:42] For instance, I have

[06:00:44] a $5 donation here from Normal who says,

[06:00:47] Pepsi for pizza! Oh wait wrong game.

[06:00:49] Sushi as food, money for MSF and trans rights

[06:00:54] as human rights. Keep these excellent AAA games coming, you're all doing great work less than three. I also have a $100 anonymous donation saying, woo! Another day of SGDQ. Best of luck to all the runners today.

[06:01:19] Thank you so much, Anonymous. I also have $25 here from a fellow IT person who simply says, thank you tech crew.

[06:01:37] And I agree. Can we get a thank you for our wonderful tech crew? I have $25 here from fellow Quint who says,

[06:01:57] I can't resist making my favorite Pokemon game a little bit harder.

[06:02:03] Cheers and good luck later on,

[06:02:05] I can't wait to catch it!

[06:02:08] I also can't wait to catch it, fellow quints. And with that $25 donation there are so many excellent Pokémon themed prizes that are still floating around the donation space.

[06:02:23] I, myself, am eyeing some of the amazing white two-pearlers

[06:02:27] like an Excadrill pearler.

[06:02:29] Uh, Excadrill, of course, featured prominently in that run.

[06:02:32] That is just a $5 minimum donation.

[06:02:35] So no matter what you are comfortable donating

[06:02:37] it's all going to support an amazing cause

[06:02:40] and potentially entering you to win some fantastically cool stuff.

[06:02:51] I have

[06:02:52] $49.50 here from anonymous who says, got to miss the white two run sadly but chipping in with my fave Gen 5 starter number 495 snivy i am also a grass starters person so you are speaking my language anonymous

[06:03:11] thank you so much much.

[06:03:24] Of course, prizes are all well and good.

[06:03:26] But it's important to remember what we're here for at the end of the day

[06:03:29] And that is raising money

[06:03:32] For Doctors Without Borders

[06:03:35] All your donations no matter how big or small can translate to some incredible work that our partner charity is doing.

[06:03:42] For instance a $5 donation can buy four treatments to cure adult patients

[06:03:48] from malaria or enough

[06:03:50] vaccine to immunize 13

[06:03:52] children against measles.

[06:03:55] Again, truly no matter what

[06:03:56] you are comfortable giving it helps so much i have 15 here from Tony Fizz who simply says,

[06:04:12] I donate it!

[06:04:14] Thank you so much. I also have a $50 anonymous donation here who simply says less than three.

[06:04:31] Less than three to you as well

[06:04:35] and with that $50 donation for instance

[06:04:39] in Doctors Without Borders where that can buy clean drinking

[06:04:44] water for 736 people for one week. That is a statistic that defies credulity, and yet I'm so grateful

[06:04:54] that we can all come together and make that happen. So thank you so much, everyone. I have $50 here from Dracona, who says love watching silly block with my partner. One of our most anticipated yearly traditions is

[06:05:24] seeing the shenanigans

[06:05:26] unfold. That was

[06:05:28] capital T, capital S

[06:05:29] The Shenanigans

[06:05:31] Thank you so much for that donation.

[06:05:35] And we are steadily climbing on that challenge mode upgrade incentive with almost $12,300 raised. So keep those

[06:05:45] donations coming in. But

[06:05:47] as you do

[06:05:48] this next run was

[06:05:51] introduced to me with the explicit

[06:05:53] instruction to just wild

[06:05:56] out. And I can think of

[06:05:58] no better person to do it

[06:06:00] than Annerlyn running

[06:06:02] fully randomized

[06:06:03] Zoombinis! Take it away!

[06:06:12] Alright,

[06:06:13] hey, what's up everyone? I'm Amarlyn.

[06:06:15] I'm dressed like a Zoom Beanieini that's why I painted my face blue

[06:06:17] this is totally normal for me to do

[06:06:19] so don't worry about it. On my couch

[06:06:21] I have... Monkeyman?

[06:06:23] Angel! Porkchop most people just

[06:06:25] know me as Evan. Excellent So you might be wondering what full

[06:06:28] randomize is. Normally I'm allowed to pick my grooves

[06:06:30] and beanies but for GDQ

[06:06:32] I offer to hit the rando button

[06:06:34] and let it roll. This makes it way

[06:06:36] harder than I anticipated.

[06:06:38] I genuinely wasn't sure how hard it was going to be.

[06:06:41] There's a few things that get extremely difficult.

[06:06:44] Before I start this,

[06:06:45] I just want to shout out from DarkHell really fast.

[06:06:47] He fully decompiled the scheme and let me look into all the RNG for it, so I actually understand a little bit better of what's going on.

[06:06:54] I'm gonna explain some things, and then these three are just here to either roast me or be very nice to me depending on what they feel like.

[06:07:01] So, with that said let's get started in 3...2...1...go!

[06:07:09] Alright, I've randomized my flow crew.

[06:07:11] This first part is allergic bridges.

[06:07:13] Basically

[06:07:15] the bridges pick one thing that they're

[06:07:17] allergic to. One bridge only

[06:07:19] allows that thing through. The other bridge lets everything else.

[06:07:21] Okay so it's...

[06:07:25] The problem is it's randomized. So might be

[06:07:29] eyes at this point.

[06:07:32] This is the most fascinating game you've ever seen in your life.

[06:07:35] The top bridge is two seconds faster per Zambini, which I'm really hoping that

[06:07:39] the top bridge is it.

[06:07:41] Critical thinking skills chat,

[06:07:43] let's go.

[06:07:45] Okay, oh, it's here, okay, never mind.

[06:07:48] Great, we have

[06:07:48] only a few Baldis

[06:07:51] out here so I can send them across the bottom bridge.

[06:07:54] That's not a bald bro, that's tufted.

[06:07:55] Okay, they've got a little sprig.

[06:07:58] More than I got.

[06:08:00] A little alfalfa?

[06:08:02] So... You get a bridge to yourself, bro. That's awesome while we're waiting for the zoom beaties across the bridge quack silver

[06:08:07] Do you have any quick donations for us? Absolutely

[06:08:09] And this is where I confess to my age somewhat because i'm not sure if there's a cadence you on here

[06:08:13] I have a five dollar donation from shane to my age somewhat because I'm not sure if there's a cadence you want on here.

[06:08:14] I have a $5 donation from Chantilly

[06:08:16] that says, hip-hip Zumbini.

[06:08:18] Can I get your best hip-hip Zumbini

[06:08:21] so I have a template?

[06:08:22] Absolutely.

[06:08:24] Hip-hip zoom beanie!

[06:08:29] They liked it.

[06:08:30] That was good.

[06:08:31] They really liked it.

[06:08:32] All right you also have to not click too fast otherwise otherwise these beanies will get left behind.

[06:08:37] Which sucks. This is basically the same thing as allergic bridges.

[06:08:40] One of these...oh thank god I got the fastest one!

[06:08:43] Okay, one of these middle rocks will never let anything through.

[06:08:49] Please go there.

[06:08:51] And the other one will let it through.

[06:08:53] The ones on the side do the same thing as the bridges.

[06:08:55] They pick one thing they're allergic to and

[06:08:56] they never let it through so it might be feet at this point

[06:09:02] don't be shy if he knocks this okay it's not free

[06:09:08] it's on her oh it's not feet. It's... Oh, it's green nose!

[06:09:12] That's perfect. I can just put that guy there.

[06:09:14] Yeah so with a preset crew

[06:09:24] it's actually a lot faster to figure this out because they generally all have the same attribute minus like one or two things.

[06:09:30] How is this going for y'all watching me be smarter than roughly a second grader. Dude, you're doing way better than my young cousin, I'll tell you right now.

[06:09:33] I hope I didn't just screw myself up.

[06:09:35] I gotta let this play. We are not queens!

[06:09:48] Whatever you are, make me a pizza!

[06:09:51] What even... what ARE you, and Motor? We are for real. We actually do have pizza.

[06:09:57] Oh my god!

[06:09:59] No way!

[06:10:00] Yo, what?

[06:10:02] What?!

[06:10:03] That literally never happens.

[06:10:07] Nothing but skill baby, nothing but skill.

[06:10:11] Felt different. No different.

[06:10:12] Wowzers.

[06:10:17] That's wild.

[06:10:18] All right.

[06:10:19] That is unfathomable.

[06:10:20] We're taking the top route.

[06:10:22] The bottom one is bad

[06:10:29] don't ask me why i hate doing it this is he's talking to you this is a body this is who's by you okay it's this is normally really easy if you go with a preset group, but the problem is I have to find all of the attributes that-

[06:10:38] Zumbidis have to sit next to something with a common attribute.

[06:10:42] But it doesn't matter what it is,

[06:10:44] there just has to be one thing.

[06:10:46] He said he didn't care though.

[06:10:50] Can I have a sip there? No?

[06:10:52] Ah! sure!

[06:10:57] This guy's so sassy I love him.

[06:11:02] It's gonna be a problem.

[06:11:03] Nope, wait.

[06:11:04] Sure!

[06:11:06] I could hear... He says sure.

[06:11:09] Lies.

[06:11:10] Lies and slander.

[06:11:11] Yep, there we go. Okay.

[06:11:13] Wow. That is tougher than it looks. All right. Hold on. There we go. Okay.

[06:11:16] Wow, that is tougher than it looks.

[06:11:18] All right.

[06:11:22] We've got Ariel and Joel on couch who's going to bring us some frog facts.

[06:11:24] Oh boy!

[06:11:26] Well I focused really hard on this actually.

[06:11:28] Frog facts?

[06:11:29] You know, when I was like five

[06:11:30] I genuinely

[06:11:31] thought frogs

[06:11:32] actually came

[06:11:33] from flowers.

[06:11:36] Yeah, I know one can dream

[06:11:37] okay Twitch chat? That would be cool as heck

[06:11:39] though. I mean that is more of a

[06:11:41] fact about myself but

[06:11:43] it turns out I don't really know a whole lot

[06:11:45] about frogs outside that they don't really know a whole lot about frogs, outside of that they don't in fact come from flowers.

[06:11:54] Well, I don't have frog facts.

[06:11:56] I do have donations if you need to make the tag

[06:11:59] yes thank you absolutely i have ten dollars here from bravest

[06:12:04] threemo who says this donation is from my fifth grade self. Here's

[06:12:09] hoping Runner can get to the end of

[06:12:11] the pizza level before recess

[06:12:13] is over.

[06:12:15] Apparently so!

[06:12:18] Amazing.

[06:12:19] I also have

[06:12:20] $10 here

[06:12:21] from Vachelli

[06:12:22] who says,

[06:12:23] it's the best

[06:12:23] to wake up

[06:12:24] to silly block.

[06:12:25] The morning brain fog

[06:12:26] mixes so well

[06:12:28] with the gaming shenanigans.

[06:12:30] I will say I've been doing He mixes so well with the gaming shenanigans.

[06:12:33] I will say, I've been doing a lot of practice

[06:12:37] I really haven't gotten an immediate pizza in forever

[06:12:40] Dude we got all this pizza here now though I'll eat it after the run don't worry Alright we got all this pizza here now though. I know! I'll eat it after drawing the line.

[06:12:41] Alright, we've got breakfast sorted.

[06:12:45] Okay so the way this works really fast

[06:12:47] just so I can explain while

[06:12:49] we keep rolling on various things, is

[06:12:51] they create paths across the things. And you can only reuse

[06:12:56] each frog twice. Which means I have to be

[06:13:00] very careful about where I'm placing my frogs, because otherwise they'll just get stuck in an infinite loop and not actually be able to finish getting across.

[06:13:08] And then I lose a Zumbini, and the category is done.

[06:13:12] Thankfully I have a backup in case we lose

[06:13:13] the category, but don't worry

[06:13:15] We should never get there.

[06:13:17] Where was 4? Was this 4?

[06:13:19] And before you leave, look at the top left

[06:13:21] and bottom right. These are giganto frogs, it's easy to miss it.

[06:13:24] I was wondering where those Zoobinies actually were

[06:13:28] They're like little guys down there.

[06:13:32] So this is the prequel of The Pikmin?, so this is the prequel to Pikmin.

[06:13:34] This is the mega fauna.

[06:13:37] That was actually surprisingly good frogs I'm not gonna lie.

[06:13:41] Getting everything across roughly in the same category pretty good.

[06:13:45] Okay now we're good? roughly in the same category. Pretty good.

[06:13:49] Alright, this one is another that's made harder by the randomizer

[06:13:51] Thank you Twitch chat for donating

[06:13:53] Again normally everything kind of matches and it's really easy to get through.

[06:13:58] But in here they have to match specific attributes which you can see on the thing between them.

[06:14:04] Nope that guy doesn't match any eyes.

[06:14:08] Oh also if you miss it they get electrocuted.

[06:14:11] I mean of course. Shows violence this morning.

[06:14:15] Okay, I'm off so I need... Sorry Lil Timmy you got the logic puzzle wrong your Zimbeanie pipe just got electrocuted.

[06:14:20] I need a hair match.

[06:14:23] Gosh, that's so annoying. Hair match?

[06:14:31] Gosh, the amount of anxiety I have right now.

[06:14:35] Oh, I don't have any sleepy eyes... Okay wait, do you have sleepy eyes?

[06:14:37] They already matched on mine. they? They already matched.

[06:14:40] Oh my god! Okay. This is where it gets difficult.

[06:14:42] You got this.

[06:14:44] Oops!

[06:14:46] Let me just let you get that one. Doesn't matter.

[06:14:48] Move on.

[06:14:49] Okay, hang on. Let me match up all these on hair.

[06:15:03] Oh that's right! So everything does eventually work. I just have to figure out a way to get there.

[06:15:07] Rack that bane, big boss man. You got this.

[06:15:12] So does it have like a soft lock prevention?

[06:15:15] Yeah, yeah everything does eventually work.

[06:15:19] While you juggle Zimbinis can I offer you some love from your community?

[06:15:22] Please.

[06:15:23] This one's stressing me out.

[06:15:25] Absolutely.

[06:15:26] I have 104 times 2.

[06:15:30] That is $208

[06:15:31] from Evanosaurus Rex.

[06:15:38] They say, first try

[06:15:40] pizza locked in get it twisted. Locked in, get it twisted.

[06:15:43] Locked in, get it twisted.

[06:15:47] Come on big dog you can do anything.

[06:15:48] I can do anything. The world is your playground.

[06:15:50] The world is your playground.

[06:15:52] I also have $50 here from Artea who says,

[06:15:55] Shout out to my boy Amarlyn.

[06:15:57] I remember him talking to me about wanting

[06:15:59] to do Zoombinis for ages and

[06:16:01] I'm so glad to see him

[06:16:03] smashing it. Thank you, Tom.

[06:16:06] Very much appreciate it in this

[06:16:08] trying time.

[06:16:10] I wish I could offer you any assist

[06:16:12] from back here, but... Trust me, i wish you could too bro i'm trying

[06:16:16] i'm really trying got time for one more absolutely this is gonna oh wait wait old old let's go Oh wait. Wait. Old, old...

[06:16:25] Let's go!

[06:16:27] So that's what the randomizer does by the way, that's why it's so hard.

[06:16:32] Also I had zoomed in these parked at those in case I flubbed anything at any point.

[06:16:37] Don't worry about it.

[06:16:40] All right. This one this puzzle is actually easy to just organize them in nose order.

[06:16:45] It's on the Sphinx there.

[06:16:48] Of course.

[06:16:49] Yeah.

[06:16:50] I think we've got time for a couple donuts while we rack this up.

[06:16:52] Yeah?

[06:16:53] Absolutely!

[06:16:54] I have $25 here from Lazarus who says,

[06:16:57] Fleans? You're not fleans.

[06:17:00] Whoever you are, make me a pizza!

[06:17:04] Love Zumbinis as a kid. Glad to see it at GDQ

[06:17:10] Bottom right top left? Bottom right of the mirrors?

[06:17:12] No

[06:17:14] Different nose color

[06:17:16] This is why he's up there dude eight-year-old me would be such a big

[06:17:21] help right now top right second about 30 old Mia get my true education from Zubinis.

[06:17:28] Oh yeah.

[06:17:29] Absolutely.

[06:17:30] I'd be so much smarter if I were playing Zubini.

[06:17:31] There are definitely children out there who are like,

[06:17:33] yo, I played Zumbinis in my elementary school.

[06:17:36] This guy's a moron!

[06:17:40] There we go.

[06:17:42] So again, this is really easy with

[06:17:44] the Freestack crew because you just look for a specific

[06:17:46] set of attributes and it gets

[06:17:48] way simpler. Yeah, NASA scientists will see you do with

[06:17:51] random Zumbinis. I am

[06:17:53] doing it with random Zumbinis! I'm not talking about

[06:17:55] you, I'm talking about the guy saying you're a moron!

[06:17:57] Yeah, second graders who say this is

[06:17:59] so easy, let's see you do it the children nasa

[06:18:01] scientists yeah the judgmental children science

[06:18:04] yeah what's that kid from big bang theory

[06:18:06] the singer guy no that's the game. Oh!

[06:18:15] So by the way,

[06:18:17] the brakes are fully off on this if Zumbini whiffs it at this point.

[06:18:21] That's not my fault. you know accidents happen maybe um

[06:18:26] i actually can't get another zoom beanie past this point that's why

[06:18:29] i had all of them lined up at the various checkpoints.

[06:18:33] Thank you for your service, goodbye!

[06:18:35] There's gotta be people in chitchat screaming at me right now...

[06:18:39] Nah man they're like this dude is a wizard.

[06:18:44] This guy from Mensa, he's killing it.

[06:18:48] Is Mensa still a thing? I think so.

[06:18:50] Supposedly.

[06:19:01] Uh this is my guy No, that's not it. I should have been looking for the other one while I was...

[06:19:04] This is the craziest picture day

[06:19:05] I've ever seen.

[06:19:07] For real, for real.

[06:19:11] Except that

[06:19:11] the photographer messes up, you fall into the pit

[06:19:13] of despair? Yeah, so actually what happens is that

[06:19:16] crystal doesn't go down and they slam into it

[06:19:18] and die.

[06:19:20] Hey, life comes at you fast.

[06:19:22] Hey, at least you have your hair looking good.

[06:19:24] Thanks, Mom. Wanna do a of downhills?

[06:19:39] Yeah, let's do a couple more while I'm finishing this off. This gets way easier now that there are fewer of them around.

[06:19:44] I'm gonna tell my niece and nephew this is the ark of the covenant

[06:19:57] oh no i got distracted sorry well maybe here's a donation that will help motivate you i I have $50 here from Captain Fitches who says,

[06:20:01] worry not for those left behind they'll make their way back to safety.

[06:20:05] Wait! Emmerlin's not going to abandon poor sweet innocent Zumbides right?

[06:20:11] I would never.

[06:20:12] Right?!

[06:20:13] Never forgive him.

[06:20:14] Alright so this is the final level.

[06:20:16] Alright.

[06:20:18] There's always one... so there's

[06:20:20] a bubble path, there's always

[06:20:22] one bubble path that will

[06:20:24] instantly kill some attribute

[06:20:26] who is meanie. So to do it

[06:20:28] marathon safe I'm gonna be the one that kills them first.

[06:20:33] What? You said you'd never.

[06:20:35] I would never so you see that little vortex right above here.

[06:20:40] If a non-twin tough goes that way, they die immediately.

[06:20:48] I need to do...

[06:20:49] This is an aggressive way

[06:20:50] to teach children

[06:20:51] How to not ponytail.

[06:20:52] I don't know,

[06:20:52] Do a maze?

[06:20:53] What is this?

[06:20:56] You have consequences

[06:20:57] Of your actions.

[06:20:58] Survival mission impossible.

[06:21:00] Alright kiddo,

[06:21:03] If you float the puzzle one of your 16 Blorbos just dies

[06:21:05] No pressure

[06:21:07] This is the fourth grade

[06:21:11] I need to do something and then not ponytail.

[06:21:16] Because they dodged that right there.

[06:21:22] Also if they bonk into each other, they die.

[06:21:24] By the way I should mention that, that's why I'm being very careful with this.

[06:21:28] I mean this could maybe PB just because of

[06:21:32] the pizza alone, man.

[06:21:34] Alright no my PB is like 9 minutes.

[06:21:38] We missed that a while ago!

[06:21:41] What'd you do on the nine minute one then?

[06:21:44] I just walked up and slapped the troll off his stomach

[06:21:47] I'm pretty sure my PB did have like first try trolls

[06:21:53] So then you were lying to us earlier when you said that was the first time you've ever gone on one people.

[06:21:57] Oh, yeah.

[06:21:59] Like ships passing in the night.

[06:22:01] Yeah.

[06:22:03] Okay. Once we get past a certain point,

[06:22:07] we're good because then

[06:22:09] I need to do a not ponytail.

[06:22:13] While we are in the victory lap

[06:22:15] I have a question here from someone donating if you've got the time

[06:22:16] i've got so much time amazing we've got 50 dollars here from dr valentine who says zoom beanies was

[06:22:23] a huge part of my childhood it's still my favorite edutainment game.

[06:22:28] Where else can you help an exodus

[06:22:30] of enslaved blueberries reach the promised land

[06:22:32] through logic puzzles?

[06:22:34] I do have a question.

[06:22:36] If I wanted to start speedrunning Zoombinis, is there a community I could join?

[06:22:42] No. Well...

[06:22:45] To be clear, I don't know.

[06:22:48] But I do want to actually shout out the one runner who really inspired me

[06:22:51] to start this. His name is Danzel Glovington.

[06:22:55] Shoutout to him. His runs are truly incredible.

[06:22:58] He's definitely the GOAT of running this

[06:23:00] game. I think he's got World Record in

[06:23:02] a bunch of categories.

[06:23:04] So just ask Dan, honestly.

[06:23:06] Yeah. Oh, I missed the

[06:23:07] twin tuft here. But yeah, just go to speedrun.com

[06:23:11] and look up the world records

[06:23:13] and then just start doing it.

[06:23:14] That's what I did.

[06:23:17] Okay.

[06:23:18] Should be...

[06:23:19] You could lock in

[06:23:20] and get a to listen.

[06:23:20] Yeah, you could absolutely lock in.

[06:23:24] Okay this one should go up

[06:23:26] And then its not a pony tail- uh oh

[06:23:28] Uh oh? We're probably funny?

[06:23:34] OHHHHHHH!

[06:23:40] It never works, it never works.

[06:23:43] 8 in the morning worked. Alright, so that's it we just gotta

[06:23:45] roll this to the end I also have to wait

[06:23:47] on clicking the final button because otherwise

[06:23:49] uh it doesn't count the 16 Zoombities

[06:23:51] So We're gonna roll this out at the end y'all got anything

[06:23:54] to say that's where i have them or yeah that donut made me think that they get to like

[06:23:59] subini villa whatever and there's one of the magical technicolor Dream Coat. Let my beanies go.

[06:24:04] And...time!

[06:24:16] Absolutely killer run, man. That was amazing.

[06:24:17] First time pizza troll is honestly like I was not expecting that.

[06:24:20] Dude we had so much pizza already!

[06:24:22] Yeah.

[06:24:23] Oh yeah.

[06:24:24] So many leftovers. As soon as they cut our mics, I'm going to town. Pizza writing! Oh yeah. We have so many love doers.

[06:24:24] As soon as they cut our mics, I'm going to town.

[06:24:27] So this counts up to 400 Zoombinis.

[06:24:30] That's what the 4% is about.

[06:24:31] We got 16 of them here.

[06:24:33] They get little houses and stuff over time. You can

[06:24:36] go play Zimbinis for yourself, it's

[06:24:38] pretty accessible today

[06:24:39] Yeah, shout out to

[06:24:42] Tom Artia who donated

[06:24:44] Shout out to Ensemble

[06:24:45] Danzel Glovington, thank you for inspiring me.

[06:24:47] Shoutout to my parents

[06:24:49] who might be watching. I don't know. Hi! What's up?

[06:24:51] My wife

[06:25:01] Thank you very much! Keep on your GDQ

[06:25:03] and keep thumping for that Pokédex run

[06:25:05] I'll see y'all later.

[06:25:12] Amazing!

[06:25:14] Thank you so much,

[06:25:17] Amberlynn, for that nostalgia- filled Zoombinis run.

[06:25:20] Oh, the silly block is drawing perilously close

[06:25:25] to a close my friends!

[06:25:28] We are heading towards the final a close, my friends.

[06:25:29] We are heading towards the final formal

[06:25:31] run of Silly Block with

[06:25:33] Stuart Little 2 in just

[06:25:35] a little bit but before

[06:25:37] we get to it, we are going to take a quick break. Do not go anywhere silly run

[06:25:43] enjoyers! We will be right back so so so And while we are getting set up for our next run of Stuart Little 2, y'all the overwhelming nostalgia for Zumbini's that has just absolutely been pouring in throughout this entire run is a little bit overpowered. I'm going to go ahead and close the show.

[06:26:44] The amount of money that has

[06:26:46] just absolutely been pouring in

[06:26:48] throughout this entire run is a

[06:26:50] little bit overwhelming.

[06:26:52] I have $25 here from Cal babe who says shout out to Amy glad Glad I raised him to find a way to cross every bridge.

[06:26:55] Thank you so much for that donation.

[06:26:59] I also have $32 here from Jahalil who says hip-hip zoombeetes!

[06:27:07] Two dollars for each blue bean successfully taken to the end.

[06:27:13] Thank you so much.

[06:27:17] We also

[06:27:18] have truly so

[06:27:20] many fleams donations,

[06:27:22] a word I did not think I was

[06:27:24] going to have to read as much as I did this morning.

[06:27:27] I have $250

[06:27:29] here from Anonymous.

[06:27:31] Yeah, let's go!

[06:27:34] They say

[06:27:34] fleens? You're not not fleans whoever you are take my donation

[06:27:41] thank you so much for that generous donation to doctors without borders I have $10 here from M's who says haven't thought about zoom bds since elementary school

[06:28:03] love this silly block i too i have a confession to make Twitch chat.

[06:28:09] This is actually my first time staying up through the entire silly block

[06:28:14] and I am so glad that I did not miss a thing

[06:28:18] because let me tell you it is one of the wildest parts of GDQ. I also have $50 here from Dave who says, watching with my roommates right now and very excited for Zoom Beanie's.

[06:28:40] Good luck with the run.

[06:28:42] Well, Dave your blessing was clearly necessary

[06:28:45] as that was a spectacular Zoom Beanie's run.

[06:28:49] . knees run and welcome back everyone to summer games done quick 2024 we are here set Summer Games Done Quick 2024.

[06:29:13] We are here setting up for

[06:29:15] I'm so sorry, the final

[06:29:17] formal run of Silly

[06:29:19] Block. It's been

[06:29:21] amazing while it lasted.

[06:29:24] But friends, I blinked and somehow missed it.

[06:29:26] We are already almost at $14,000 raise for the Pokemon White 2 Challenge Mode upgrade.

[06:29:36] Thank you so much everyone who has been donating

[06:29:38] to make that happen, I love Pokemon,

[06:29:41] I love hard modes in games.

[06:29:44] This is a unique confluence where every opponent trainer's Pokemon gets their level increased,

[06:29:51] it gives some of them held items they didn't have before and gives every gym leader

[06:29:56] a fully additional Pokemon.

[06:29:58] You do not want to miss

[06:30:00] it. And the Pokemon

[06:30:02] donations are starting to come in.

[06:30:04] I have $49.80 from gauntlet who says donating for my beloved tepid

[06:30:10] absolutely did not expect to see zoom beaties at gdq Let's get the challenge mode!

[06:30:21] And now, to cap off our silly block in

[06:30:25] style, a runner who needs no introduction but is going to get one anyway you

[06:30:32] already saw him on the sticks at chibi robo bingo earlier in this event but now here to absolutely dominate uh stewart little two any

[06:30:43] percent it's jack slur Wow, can't believe we're actually doing this. Okay good morning everybody I am Jaxler and it is my distinctest pleasure to be bringing you some Stuart Little 2 at any percent.

[06:31:01] Or as I like to call it, Stuart in the Secret Rings or as I like to call it, we have Mario 64 at home.

[06:31:07] So if you've never seen this game before, this is a 3D collect-a-thon platformer that was released on the PS1 in like 2002

[06:31:15] Which is after the PS2 came out.

[06:31:18] So...that's funny.

[06:31:20] Um..this game is a piece of, I will just put it that way

[06:31:21] but before we get into that

[06:31:23] well actually this is a great time to mention that

[06:31:25] while we go through introductions

[06:31:27] this demo is going to completely desync and stop working

[06:31:30] Would you please introduce yourselves,

[06:31:32] friends? Alright so

[06:31:34] my name is Astani. I have

[06:31:36] watched this guy play this game far

[06:31:38] too many times. And

[06:31:40] I don't know why, but here we are.

[06:31:42] I'm also on a 24-hour uptime here so I'm feeling pretty good.

[06:31:49] I'm Helix.

[06:31:50] I have watched this guy play this game like once two don't know once two years ago and then never again.

[06:31:53] Cause when I asked him to do commentary he said yes

[06:31:55] He told me it wasn't allowed to look at this game

[06:31:57] So i'm going in blind

[06:31:59] I'm Kabasko

[06:32:01] I've also never seen him play this game and, um...

[06:32:04] We're all on no sleep except for Traxor.

[06:32:07] So there's gonna be a big-

[06:32:08] That's actually the only responsible one and that's okay because you can-

[06:32:09] Well, I don't know if playing Stuart Little 2 for the PS1 is responsible

[06:32:12] I hope I do right

[06:32:13] But the jury is still out on that one.

[06:32:16] All right so we're going to go ahead and start hopping

[06:32:18] into the game but time's not going to start right away.

[06:32:21] It's as soon as I gain control of Stuart

[06:32:23] in like the first sort of tutorial area. You're gonna notice these

[06:32:25] loading screens are very funny, alright

[06:32:27] 3...2...1...GO!

[06:32:31] So the game lets us just skip

[06:32:33] the tutorial which is awesome.

[06:32:35] The rat doesn't need any training.

[06:32:37] He's got this!

[06:32:38] Stuart is prepared.

[06:32:40] And so just like any good 3D collect-a-thon platformer

[06:32:43] we're going to start with an-scroller within the first 15

[06:32:46] seconds of the run. I thought this wasn't good though! Yeah so, this is like...

[06:32:54] This part is comically easy, um, so so we're just gonna be vibing here and i'm probably

[06:32:59] going to skip a lot of these stars yeah so we can salute the sun during here are you okay back

[06:33:04] oh oh i don't know i understand on. No we're not okay!

[06:33:08] What do you mean? We're stewing back here.

[06:33:10] This is story little and none of us are okay.

[06:33:14] So it's actually really funny because

[06:33:16] there were so like meme memorable moments but

[06:33:21] at the same time this game has tech you're not seeing any of it right now

[06:33:24] because this part of the game sucks i thought that panic coaster already happened.

[06:33:29] Photography is taking a picture of this, thank you photography!

[06:33:34] Oh my goodness...

[06:33:36] You popped me!

[06:33:46] We're distracted again. Are you yelling at me for missing one of the like, bajillion stars here? Okay.

[06:33:47] Like if it were me I would have missed way more.

[06:33:52] Alright so that's gonna give us our first Jeweled Ring We're going to take a spider bite from a Black Widow right here

[06:33:55] One of the big things about this run is doing Death Warps

[06:33:58] So i'm going to be taking damage over the course of the run

[06:34:01] In order to sort of set up for some deathwarps here. You're also just going to notice that every time

[06:34:05] Stuart does his double jump it's one of the worst things you will ever hear in your entire life

[06:34:14] . will ever hear in your entire life. It sounds like he's

[06:34:17] being punched in the

[06:34:18] gut.

[06:34:19] That's boring.

[06:34:20] That's what watching

[06:34:21] his run feels like so far.

[06:34:23] Emotionally, that's what it's like to run this game at a high level.

[06:34:26] From whatever it's about, that's what it feels like to run it but not Jack Slane?

[06:34:29] You want an adventure? This is turning out to be worse than...

[06:34:32] He has done right to! What an adventure. This is turning out to be a cool person's turn, right?

[06:34:34] Oh, there's voice acting!

[06:34:35] Oh yeah,

[06:34:36] there is voice acting already.

[06:34:38] It's very good.

[06:34:40] The repressed memories of watching you run this game

[06:34:42] two years ago were flooding back

[06:34:45] all right so to give you a kind of rundown on uh some of the rings that we're collecting we got one

[06:34:51] other the jeweled rings asuro will call them multiple times

[06:34:55] over the course of this next 30 minutes of hell

[06:34:57] you can get

[06:34:59] them by doing those mini games or

[06:35:01] there's a couple others that have special requirements

[06:35:03] we're going to go get the secret one right here and I'm going to ask everyone

[06:35:05] to be quiet for this beautiful voice line

[06:35:13] Milk? Classic love it milk milk classic all right so first major skip of the run i'm gonna do

[06:35:20] a coyote time jump just to get over here nicely hit it that's not that bad but

[06:35:24] if you're not paying attention then you just fall and it's embarrassing. Oh boy

[06:35:31] Alright so now we're going into the aeroplane here and so

[06:35:40] Raskin flux yes legendary jackson clip if you know you know

[06:35:45] i don't know we are not going to elaborate just

[06:35:51] elaborate on that you know you know the real ones no but i'm so favorite yeah i know right yeah so this plane uh

[06:35:55] so i'll just go ahead and spoil this right now. The vehicle sections in this game

[06:35:59] on average, not

[06:36:01] good. Um...

[06:36:02] But that one is actually

[06:36:04] decent. That one is actually like

[06:36:07] okay to control. We're gonna see one in the next level, Central Park

[06:36:09] So in order to beat this game you need

[06:36:11] 30 out of the 36 jeweled rings

[06:36:13] Those are like the stars

[06:36:15] In your Mario 64 right?

[06:36:17] And so we were able to skip six of the slowest ones.

[06:36:20] Huge! Guys, I saw you skip

[06:36:22] a cutscene. Was that like a pre-rendered movie cutscene

[06:36:24] that you just skipped? Yes. Oh my god.

[06:36:26] Yeah. And it's like in below

[06:36:28] 1.34p, it's incredible.

[06:36:32] If you're gonna come and underestimate me can you take two seconds

[06:36:35] and let one of us play a little bit?

[06:36:37] Well I can let the ending cutscene play if it's cool with the producer

[06:36:40] because I don't know if it's cool with the producer, because I don't know

[06:36:40] if it's going to get flagged for copyright.

[06:36:43] Because remember, this is a movie tie-in game,

[06:36:45] so it's one of those kinds of situations.

[06:36:47] Yeah, the clips are actually from the movie,

[06:36:49] which is...

[06:36:50] A little ridiculous.

[06:36:53] Okay, yeah, that's not my call all right so this is the first time we're going to see us pick up these face blocks

[06:36:56] so something i'm out okay that's good i needed to take damage but

[06:37:01] sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't.

[06:37:04] So something that I'm going to be doing as speed tech over the course of this

[06:37:07] Is like whenever I am landing for the most part with some exceptions

[06:37:11] I'm gonna be doing this spin attack

[06:37:13] as I land back on the ground.

[06:37:14] Because Stuart just kind of takes a minute

[06:37:17] to catch his footing whenever he lands on the ground

[06:37:19] but I can actually continue with the run button

[06:37:22] once I land on the ground. And so we're gonna be

[06:37:24] collecting a couple of these

[06:37:26] let me be very clear, cat biscuits

[06:37:28] I know they look like goldfish but no

[06:37:30] They are legally distinct cat biscuits

[06:37:32] Okay. That will become

[06:37:34] important in a little bit.

[06:37:35] Woohoo!

[06:37:36] And now we are going

[06:37:37] into what...

[06:37:40] We're driving a boat.

[06:37:41] We're driving a boat

[06:37:41] and this boat...

[06:37:42] Okay, it looks like

[06:37:43] a flash game.

[06:37:44] ...and this boat I would like to argue is maybe one of the worst vehicle sections in a video game I have ever played.

[06:37:49] If you know the kind of games that I run, that should concern you.

[06:37:53] This thing takes like a full second to

[06:37:56] start turning, it's

[06:37:58] really bad!

[06:38:00] I like the joke on this game a lot

[06:38:02] It's not as bad as I'm probably

[06:38:04] going to joke about it, but this vehicle section acted

[06:38:07] just the worst. And the worst part

[06:38:09] is that it's fast. So it's like

[06:38:11] we have to do all of the vehicle sections

[06:38:13] and on-rails bits because

[06:38:15] they happen to be faster than like playing the fun

[06:38:17] parts of the game which is why hundo's

[06:38:19] the category but

[06:38:21] this would it be

[06:38:22] in fact the greatest category any speedrun

[06:38:26] ever and it's not close

[06:38:28] i see more voice lines more ah pain beautiful

[06:38:33] it's just beauty on yeah modern art emotion although

[06:38:36] how modern is it anymore although the interesting thing though

[06:38:40] about any percent is like because we're not getting everything there's some cool there's

[06:38:43] some kind of like cool skips and stuff that we can do um but all those are in the late game so

[06:38:47] we're just going to be kind of memeing it up here for the first little bit.

[06:38:49] We'll go over a little bit of routing as we make our way through here.

[06:38:53] So it's gonna look like I'm coming close to time even though

[06:38:57] It looks like I don't-I'm not gonna like make it on time um the finish line is just going to pop

[06:39:02] in here because the draw distance is so horrible

[06:39:05] um and we're gonna get another jewelry. Oh, the super sewer!

[06:39:11] No, absolutely not.

[06:39:15] No one is saying this.

[06:39:19] Alright so you saw me get a what's's called a restart point. It's just

[06:39:21] a checkpoint. I don't know why they call it like that. But what we're gonna do a lot in this

[06:39:25] run is to Deathwarp in order to cut back on backtracking because

[06:39:29] these levels are actually pretty large

[06:39:32] to traverse and not always wrap around each other

[06:39:36] or wrap around back where you can kind of go at them in any angle.

[06:39:40] That's the other, my favorite voice line is just Marglo with like those sounds of despair

[06:39:46] in her voice being like you got a face block.

[06:39:48] You're gonna hear that at least 20 more times than this one.

[06:39:52] Oh no... I'm going gonna be hearing this in my dreams

[06:39:55] yeah yes stewart little two is real and can hurt you

[06:40:01] all right so this ant is going to give us a handshake

[06:40:02] and that's going to teleport us back to where we got that checkpoint.

[06:40:06] And so what I'm doing as well anytime I grab one of these face blocks, is I'm doing a spin.

[06:40:15] And that's really important so like right here

[06:40:18] normally whenever you grab a face block

[06:40:20] like Surit does a hard fall animation

[06:40:22] and the Margolo I'm very tired face block voice line doesn't pop up until Stuart is considered not busy.

[06:40:30] So by spinning you get Stuart ready for that cutscene a bit earlier.

[06:40:34] So this was the first boss of the game,

[06:40:36] This is the bench of doom.

[06:40:40] I'm actually gonna take a moment

[06:40:42] just to line this up, just to make sure

[06:40:44] The collision here is not great.

[06:40:48] Okay, we got to here.

[06:40:50] Alright, that's the first boss.

[06:40:50] Nice, nice, nice.

[06:40:52] Is this something you don't like?

[06:40:54] No, it's a boss.

[06:40:55] Some would argue the entire game is a boss fight.

[06:40:59] Alright, we're gonna get that secret ring right here, hence the name Stewart in The Secret Race.

[06:41:03] Wonderful, Stewart! No, it's called a hidden ring though.

[06:41:10] A new level? Oh my god all right so i need to make sure i am getting damage boosts in here and so we're going gonna do a little bit of neurotic i want to shout

[06:41:15] out uh some of the other runners in this game, like Ryan Pointless

[06:41:19] Vsour and Totterstress who have been actually

[06:41:21] despite what you're looking at here

[06:41:23] putting a lot of work into

[06:41:25] this game because even though there's

[06:41:27] a giant meme it of fun to run through

[06:41:28] in a weird twist of fate.

[06:41:31] I always tell people

[06:41:32] this game has way more

[06:41:33] tech and sauce

[06:41:34] than a game

[06:41:35] of this caliber

[06:41:36] deserves to have

[06:41:37] so huge shoutouts

[06:41:38] to them as well for like really like taking this game

[06:41:41] under their wing and like really kind of breathing new life into it um but these

[06:41:46] on foot sections are pretty straightforward the one quirk of it, you'll notice a lot

[06:41:51] my movement is restricted to the D-pad

[06:41:55] because this is a PS1 game

[06:41:57] It lets me use like the analog stick

[06:41:59] but its 8 way movement The camera is not however for some reason,

[06:42:03] so what I can actually do is use like a camera stick in order to actually turn

[06:42:08] with reasonable degrees of freedom, i can actually like try to control

[06:42:12] stewart um keyword tribe yeah keyboard drive

[06:42:17] but they made analog movement for their camera but not historic

[06:42:21] yeah i don't know well they also make

[06:42:23] the game when the ps2 is like available

[06:42:27] so not much forethought i don't think yeah

[06:42:30] while we are marveling at the design

[06:42:32] decisions can i chime in with some commentary from donations go right for

[06:42:36] it i have 50 here from flim bob 84 who says

[06:42:40] it might not be your personal favorite but i think we can all agree that stewart

[06:42:46] little two is objectively the best video game created by man just look at it i

[06:42:51] think it speaks for itself see See those photorealistic

[06:42:54] graphics on the PS1?

[06:42:56] That's the ray tracing.

[06:42:59] Can we please get a

[06:43:00] $5 donation train of testimonials

[06:43:03] for how Stuart Little 2 changed your

[06:43:05] life for the better.

[06:43:07] Let's make sure that Pokemon Challenge

[06:43:09] mode gets met.

[06:43:11] People have been saying it.

[06:43:13] No, they haven't.

[06:43:15] Either send us a message with have been sent. No, they haven't. They are now.

[06:43:17] Yeah, either send us a message with like

[06:43:18] how this game

[06:43:18] has changed your life

[06:43:19] or your favorite

[06:43:20] Stuart Little fact

[06:43:21] because the Stuart

[06:43:22] Little rabbit hole

[06:43:24] goes so deep

[06:43:25] it's like slightly distressing yeah did you know

[06:43:28] he's actually a human also double fun fact did you know that

[06:43:33] he owns a car and his car can go invisible.

[06:43:37] Wow.

[06:43:39] I do have another Stuart Little fact here if there's time for more.

[06:43:41] Yeah, we're going into an auto stroller so go for it.

[06:43:43] Amazing. I have $25 here from

[06:43:45] Xcog who says, Did you know Stuart Little

[06:43:48] and Shadow the Hedgehog

[06:43:50] use parts of the same sound

[06:43:52] library making the

[06:43:54] sewer level and Rune Vestopolis

[06:43:56] canonically linked.

[06:44:01] Good luck on the run, Jax!

[06:44:03] Thanks, thanks, Cog. One of my best friends helped me survive grad school

[06:44:07] you're the best.

[06:44:10] So yeah, we're doing another one of these again. Please tell

[06:44:12] me the back couch is also doing this?

[06:44:13] Yes they are! That's a bad panic

[06:44:15] coaster I see. I can no longer see

[06:44:17] past the back couch.

[06:44:19] So I can no longer see past the back couch.

[06:44:23] So, I wanted to give y'all a... For the two of you all who have really not seen this game

[06:44:26] How emotionally are you doing right now?

[06:44:28] Are you okay? like what are your thoughts

[06:44:30] on whatever this is.

[06:44:31] No.

[06:44:32] No?

[06:44:33] That's a valid thought.

[06:44:34] I feel like I just spent 23 hours

[06:44:35] in the Detroit airport again.

[06:44:36] No!

[06:44:39] If you know you know, you know.

[06:44:41] If real ones know.

[06:44:43] At least three of us know.

[06:44:45] Ooh, speed it up now! Keep up!

[06:44:53] Alright, and we're out of there.

[06:44:56] I'm so glad I didn't sleep because seeing this

[06:44:57] after staying up through all of Silly Block

[06:44:59] is perfection.

[06:45:03] I didn't think the sushi game could be topped

[06:45:10] i guess yeah i don't know i don't know if i put this above sushi game but it was really funny

[06:45:13] all right so the game's gonna lag really hard right here and I got the ledge grab okay

[06:45:15] Sometimes the camera in the game lags

[06:45:17] so bad there that it can actually cause you

[06:45:19] to drop your ledge hang

[06:45:21] So basically this is gonna be the shortest level in the any percent route just

[06:45:25] because like so many of the other rings are like just faster like there's a couple levels that

[06:45:29] were gonna look like basically all but 100%. Milk?

[06:45:37] Milk.

[06:45:38] He's so scared

[06:45:39] about milk.

[06:45:41] He's terrified.

[06:45:43] So am I,

[06:45:44] yeah.

[06:45:44] Yeah, so if y'all

[06:45:45] like auto-scrollers, we're going in for another

[06:45:47] one. Uh, so this is like a

[06:45:49] like, I would call it a real shooter but you're kind of just

[06:45:51] chilling in one spot

[06:45:52] just like... So here's's the funny thing

[06:45:56] is I've been playing this game

[06:45:58] in some ways, shape or form since

[06:46:00] I was five so I'm like

[06:46:02] unbelievably cracked at this

[06:46:04] for no particular reason.

[06:46:07] Like I just have all the things memorized and I guess, you know,

[06:46:08] it comes with the territory because I guess I've been running

[06:46:11] the game for a while but like... You guys.

[06:46:13] I just have like this psychic sense of like

[06:46:14] oh, this is exactly where it needs to go um the psychic sense of

[06:46:19] story little two yeah uh-huh yeah so he's one with stewart in order you have to become I- yeah. He IS a rat!

[06:46:27] In order to master the rat, you have to become the rat.

[06:46:31] Is he even a rat? Isn't he like a mouse?

[06:46:34] Oh sorry, he's human, my bad, I forgot that one.

[06:46:35] Yeah, he's a human, he's a human.

[06:46:37] I just think saying rat is objectively funny oh it is

[06:46:41] he's a human that just looks like a mouse and acts like a mouse but don't worry he's

[06:46:44] actually a human yeah yeah okay yeah don't worry about it don't Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[06:46:48] Don't worry about it, don't question that.

[06:46:49] You know what Quack Silver?

[06:46:50] If you have a fun Stuart fact for us now would be a great time.

[06:46:55] I have truly so many fun Stuart, and I'm a little scared.

[06:47:01] We've got $25 here from Hasfar who says,

[06:47:04] Fun Stewart little fact! He is 100 feet away

[06:47:07] And rapidly approaching Ron

[06:47:15] Also real quick want to check in on that Pokemon White 2 Challenge Mode incentive because we are so close to 75%, $15000 raise out of 20,000.

[06:47:21] So please make sure you are clicking those incentives when

[06:47:24] you donate.

[06:47:26] We appreciate it so much.

[06:47:28] All right.

[06:47:30] As I'm grabbing this last ring here the golden key ring

[06:47:35] As thanks for being on my couch and also as a reward for

[06:47:38] Hold on let me load into the level

[06:47:40] What is he doing?

[06:47:43] On the house, congratulations!

[06:47:45] You are now the proud recipient of a Sturlittle 2-Disc.

[06:47:48] I don't want this!

[06:47:49] Well, it's your problem now.

[06:47:52] It's your prize for winning bingo!

[06:47:55] Let's go BINGO!

[06:47:57] So what you're saying is I have to take this home and learn the game

[06:47:59] And we gotta make short little two bingos?

[06:48:01] Oh no, you don't have to learn the game because that just doesn't work

[06:48:06] Thank you. Oh of course now i'm actually happy

[06:48:08] Well wait wait wait wait no I gave you the curse disc so

[06:48:12] That disk right there it works just fine.

[06:48:15] Okay? Except...

[06:48:16] It has these really bizarre audio bugs.

[06:48:19] Oh no!

[06:48:21] You were telling us about this?!

[06:48:23] Yes, that is the first disc.

[06:48:24] Please stream this. Oh, you're telling us about this? Yes. That is the first disc. So when's Sortnode 2 bingo?

[06:48:26] Please stream this!

[06:48:27] No!

[06:48:28] Please! I wanna hear the audio.

[06:48:29] Alright.

[06:48:30] So while we were memeing there

[06:48:31] I actually managed to hit a really tricky jump

[06:48:34] so something that I haven't really talked about

[06:48:35] is controlling this game kind of sucks because whenever you're trying to do

[06:48:39] like running jumps which is pretty much what you want to do

[06:48:42] um you were kind of just it's like a super uh

[06:48:45] like ghosting i forget which retro game has the same thing but

[06:48:48] it's like castlevania where you are committed to

[06:48:50] the trajectory of your jump and there is nothing you can do to control your air

[06:48:53] drift unless you do like a walking jump it's really weird you're so upset with the cursor disc

[06:49:00] are you okay just now i can give you the broken one if you prefer that

[06:49:03] i can turn this one into a broken one people have been saying

[06:49:14] you know what so for this face block right here i'm actually going to go ahead and do like a very

[06:49:19] high jump so that instead of having to

[06:49:21] do the really awful diving down into the water

[06:49:22] mechanic. Yeah.

[06:49:25] The game will just put me enough

[06:49:26] into the water and then i float to the surface

[06:49:28] and then we're going into skateboarding which is like actually a really fun

[06:49:31] mini game um so the way this works is that

[06:49:33] there's a bunch of stars that i have to skate through

[06:49:36] and there's a specific order i'm gonna try to hit

[06:49:38] um i'm going to beef it because they suck

[06:49:40] um but this-it's really kind of fun

[06:49:42] to mess with

[06:49:44] in like improv if you end up doing something

[06:49:46] that you weren't really expecting so...

[06:49:48] No that's yours dude dude you gotta keep that.

[06:49:50] Damn it, he got away from me.

[06:49:53] He gave it to you not us.

[06:49:55] That's your problem.

[06:50:01] Okay I hit the perfect perfect time all day. Ooh!

[06:50:02] I have not hit that all week.

[06:50:04] I'll take it.

[06:50:07] All right, so now we're coming up on one of the harder skips in the run this is a uh

[06:50:13] a bit of a shortcut to get to uh the secret ring here a little bit faster and so we're gonna damage

[06:50:19] boost over here and this is going to be a one frame trip let me see how

[06:50:22] quickly I can get this enjoy the grunting sounds yeah this trick was not

[06:50:31] cooperating with me in practice so

[06:50:37] Come on

[06:50:41] I cannot hear the audio cue over all the

[06:50:46] It's just the background.

[06:50:50] There it is

[06:50:57] yeah and that's that's not gonna be the last one that's like the really

[06:51:00] important one though um so all right So there goes that roach.

[06:51:04] Bye Roach.

[06:51:06] Um, so it's funny because like the first part of the run is pretty straight forward just optimized movement

[06:51:12] Once you get to sewers, the game actually starts getting really hard

[06:51:15] because of the skips that got found.

[06:51:17] So...

[06:51:18] The next one we're gonna try to set up for...

[06:51:21] Um, so you're gonna notice eventually

[06:51:22] that we're gonna be one face block short of a full six that

[06:51:27] we need to construct the path and uh thanks to uh the work of the

[06:51:31] stuart little two speed running community um a skip was discovered

[06:51:35] that allows you to do it with five instead of six.

[06:51:37] It's really hard, I'm probably gonna beat it.

[06:51:40] I almost just fell and lost like 30 seconds.

[06:51:42] I saved that.

[06:51:46] I'm just going to make sure I don't completely torch this real quick, but we should be good.

[06:51:51] Pretty solid cycle. Okay, we got through.

[06:51:53] And then we're going to do a footrace with basically similar to the one that we did in Central Park.

[06:52:00] That was actually Central Park, by the way.

[06:52:04] Important war bomb right there.

[06:52:07] Yeah.

[06:52:09] I mean, there are a lot of rants in New York.

[06:52:10] Alright.

[06:52:13] So as we go through this footrace here and as the game inevitably lags,

[06:52:15] Crack Silver, you've got time for like one

[06:52:17] quick Stuart fact.

[06:52:19] Quick Stuart fact! I have $5 from Army of Dragons who says

[06:52:23] Fun Fact! This game was sometimes distributed on PC in cereal boxes

[06:52:28] That's how I played it, smiley face."

[06:52:31] What?

[06:52:33] I did not win!

[06:52:39] I really hope that's a demo and not full game because if that is full game,

[06:52:42] That has irreparably changed the fate of Story 2 speedrunning for us.

[06:52:47] Because this explosion isn't that bad but being able to play this game without lag

[06:52:52] would actually make it tolerable.

[06:52:54] That's why I get too crazy.

[06:52:58] Actual serious time here though.

[06:53:00] Yeah so this is pretty hard uh movement because essentially you're

[06:53:04] normally supposed to have these face blocks travel back and forth but because we're skipping one of

[06:53:08] these face blocks oh exactly you have to have a really long jump

[06:53:14] and you have to use all your coyote times

[06:53:15] to get that very well executed.

[06:53:17] Stuart give me the ring please.

[06:53:18] I think in the madness we've forgotten

[06:53:20] that Jacksler is actually just crackling.

[06:53:22] So we're saying this,

[06:53:23] I guess.

[06:53:23] All right,

[06:53:23] and we're going to pick

[06:53:24] a couple of extra lives

[06:53:25] up here for two more

[06:53:26] death works that

[06:53:27] we're going to do

[06:53:28] so I'm going to go

[06:53:29] one,

[06:53:29] two,

[06:53:30] three.

[06:53:30] We're going to head

[06:53:30] the back alleys

[06:53:31] and for all the crap

[06:53:32] that I give this game

[06:53:33] mostly jokingly

[06:53:35] This level's music is a bop

[06:53:37] We can't hear it over the grunting sounds

[06:53:41] Yeah

[06:53:41] Stuart is really putting in the work.

[06:53:45] I also just got to mention as well with a red sweater

[06:53:48] and like the blue t-shirt underneath,

[06:53:50] he's really trying to be Mario.

[06:53:52] And it's very funny.

[06:53:53] I don't know.

[06:53:54] I can't unsee it anymore after like someone in the practice room

[06:53:56] pointed it out to me.

[06:53:58] We have Mario at home!

[06:54:00] Yeah, it's Mario 64 at home, like I said.

[06:54:02] Sure...

[06:54:04] Alright so the first bit here is we're gonna basically get every ring in this level and that includes...

[06:54:10] So in order to get the ring that's related to these cat biscuits you need 60 out of 80

[06:54:15] In order to trade them for Snowbell for another jeweled ring as you probably oh i need that one

[06:54:19] like desperately um

[06:54:23] desperately needs a cat biscuit

[06:54:27] so needs a cactus again

[06:54:32] so so many of these tricks like they're hard in their own right but they're even worse because stewart is yapping about like a jeweled ring or something

[06:54:35] and you can't use like you can't because it's... You can't... Because it's in the way

[06:54:38] of Stuart's feet

[06:54:39] which is what you really

[06:54:39] want to use as a visual cue

[06:54:41] for like,

[06:54:41] hey where am I right now?

[06:54:44] So hitting that

[06:54:45] is really nice

[06:54:45] because it means

[06:54:46] I don't have to push

[06:54:47] the box at takeout

[06:54:48] and I can use that as a platform to save a ledge grab.

[06:54:50] Not only is Stuart yapping about a jeweled ring

[06:54:52] but we're over here yapping about...

[06:54:53] I mean how else are you gonna drown out

[06:54:56] the pain of experiencing Stuart 2 lying?

[06:54:58] No exactly! Especially when to have to hold a disc

[06:55:03] i hope you enjoy that later

[06:55:07] all right so we managed to get through there uh it's it is really easy to

[06:55:10] get knocked off of course there and i'm gonna what i'm trying to set up for here

[06:55:14] is a jump uh it's not that bad of a jump but i'm going to like do an angled jump

[06:55:18] off of here nice you got that one there's an easy backup for

[06:55:21] that one if i miss it um but right here we don't miss we

[06:55:25] don't we yeah in the store 2 community we just do

[06:55:29] we are incapable of missing.

[06:55:31] People have been saying this.

[06:55:33] I've been saying this.

[06:55:35] Well yeah one person has been saying this in the entire world.

[06:55:38] Yeah so the STORT 2 community's been saying this.

[06:55:41] Damn! From what i heard it's at least three people yeah no that's

[06:55:46] not trying to undermine the workers yeah exactly right joke so that's the funny thing right is you

[06:55:50] would think like a game be like oh this is just a funny meme

[06:55:53] game but no it's like we have had so much like love and work poured into this game and

[06:55:57] it's really just made it cool to like i don't know um but the The run looks kinda sick and I hate that.

[06:56:05] I hate that!

[06:56:07] The best part is like, IMO Hundo is even more cool because it's like you know all the same

[06:56:12] autoscroller stuff that your're playing because it's fast.

[06:56:15] And then you get to do even more cool platforming

[06:56:17] and actually play my favorite parts of the game.

[06:56:19] This is a question

[06:56:21] I always get asked,

[06:56:23] why do you know about this? like this is like one of the early

[06:56:27] like i remember like not even me playing it but like me sitting with my brother

[06:56:31] and my dad when i was like three years old, watching someone play Stuart 2

[06:56:36] for me.

[06:56:38] And then because it's a PS1

[06:56:40] disc it inevitably scratched

[06:56:42] and that was bad.

[06:56:51] While you slowly but surely convince Helix to play this game, can I share a quick update? Oh yeah go for it!

[06:56:53] We have just crossed $15000 raised on that Pokemon White 2 Challenge Mode upgrade.

[06:56:59] Thank you so much everyone who is making

[06:57:02] that happen while the shenanigans unfold

[06:57:06] on your screen.

[06:57:08] Do not imply that I'm playing this game,

[06:57:10] I got Monkey Ball to play!

[06:57:16] Super Stewart!

[06:57:19] I like how even if there's silence between all of us,

[06:57:22] I just know Stewart will chime in.

[06:57:27] Sometimes we need a minute.

[06:57:29] This game is worth any one minute. We got this driving section right here which is I don't I go back and forth between whether I hit the boat or the hot rod more here but they both suck

[06:57:41] and also am a big fan of the walls that are always the same distance away from you at all times

[06:57:46] it's a great way ah you know it's just great you know what this would be a great time for even more stewart

[06:57:52] chess this part of the game actually just sucks yeah let's just let her rock all right i can let

[06:57:57] it rock i have 10 here from mc who says, Jacksler mentioned the Stuart Little rabbit hole.

[06:58:02] I would like to point out that it should actually

[06:58:05] be a mousehole.

[06:58:08] We were talking about that earlier.

[06:58:10] Who's we?

[06:58:11] Uh, me.

[06:58:14] As I understand it many people have said this

[06:58:16] I also have $25 here from Aaron Gray who says

[06:58:20] I've never heard of Stuart Little 2 until

[06:58:22] today but I can confidently say

[06:58:25] it has changed my life in the

[06:58:27] last 20 minutes.

[06:58:29] Mine too.

[06:58:31] Time for one more? Go for it!

[06:58:32] I have $57.20 from Ashkarp who says,

[06:58:36] This is a lot of fun. Donating on behalf of Minccino

[06:58:40] A Pokemon that looks a lot like Stuart Little

[06:58:44] and is from black & white.

[06:58:46] Let's keep the momentum going!

[06:58:48] I couldn't agree more, let's see

[06:58:50] that challenge mode upgrade!

[06:58:53] You've got time

[06:58:55] for maybe one or two more,

[06:58:57] add one more Stuart fact. Amazing!

[06:58:59] How's a Stuart testimonial? $5

[06:59:01] from Drew A Conclusion who says

[06:59:03] did you know that Stuart Littleart little two's ray tracing capabilities saved my marriage

[06:59:10] let's go undivorced we would need a safe marriage after what happened in Kiwi Robo.

[06:59:18] We have done so much for like...

[06:59:20] Marriage?

[06:59:22] Community!

[06:59:24] Yeah, let's call it that.

[06:59:26] Alright, so I'm going to avoid pushing

[06:59:28] that box of leftovers right there

[06:59:30] and get the ledge grab.

[06:59:31] Just a little bit of optimization.

[06:59:33] I've been trying very specifically

[06:59:35] to route my health so I can take a death warp.

[06:59:38] Okay, thanks game. Yeah this game's gonna see either one

[06:59:43] I heard someone in the back say you see it. I hate you

[06:59:46] Right in front of me yeah you can't knock to get in there

[06:59:50] i also just feel like stewart is a game that you hear before you see as well so

[06:59:54] it's like like

[07:00:05] like the music here just goes so hard like it'll just cut out

[07:00:06] for margolo to say whatever nonsense she has to say

[07:00:09] and then it just comes back in

[07:00:11] and it's like emotional whiplash.

[07:00:13] Yo, shoutout to Whiplash.

[07:00:15] Whiplash mentioned that I'm here?

[07:00:17] It cut out and did sport did it like grunt

[07:00:27] Yeah, so if you haven't already told bit realize that's the fastest way to climb things in this game is to just...

[07:00:32] Grunt up the wall.

[07:00:33] Grunt up the wall, exactly. It's called grunting- no it doesn't have anything.

[07:00:40] Alright, I am actually one cat biscuit short here.

[07:00:42] So that's normally where I would do the death work.

[07:00:44] So I'm gonna go...

[07:00:47] In a bottle of uh... milk?

[07:00:56] I've done it! milk they run it back to back you get it back to back so much okay awesome yeah so another one because i much. Awesome!

[07:01:02] I have another one. Because I had to go and get

[07:01:05] another cat biscuit because I misrouted it,

[07:01:07] um, I just decided not to

[07:01:09] um... Oh wait, this will have

[07:01:11] some slight implications.

[07:01:12] You know what? It's whatever.

[07:01:14] Alright we're going into the final primary platforming level

[07:01:19] and it is by far the hardest.

[07:01:22] We are going into

[07:01:24] the other airplane section, there

[07:01:26] is one really tight turn in there

[07:01:28] that I am going to go for

[07:01:30] because you gotta

[07:01:32] really rep the stewart crew

[07:01:35] you know you gotta you gotta fall out all this flag in the game you're about to see

[07:01:45] something something i'm just a rat in the cage. Anyway...

[07:01:47] So it's not coming up just yet, but

[07:01:49] I'm gonna tap in real quick to make sure

[07:01:51] I don't screw this up because

[07:01:53] while it is very funny to watch the plane crash animation in this game yeah okay here's

[07:01:59] the turn got it oh we're so bad that's really the plane turns on a dime as opposed to the absolute dumpster fire that is the boat in

[07:02:09] the car all right talking about this it's the same thing as whiplash where we keep talking about these

[07:02:14] ridiculous things and then you suddenly switch into like

[07:02:17] professional speeder and commentator mode of them do something really sick oh like that let's go

[07:02:22] that that's another one all i did well you get the idea.

[07:02:32] I did hit that though and that's really hard because again there is a text box in the way.

[07:02:37] Text box in the way it also like suit a couple of frames to get off of slippery slime. It's a one-

[07:02:39] it is actually just a true one frame

[07:02:41] Oh, of course! Why not more one frames

[07:02:43] for your little gameplay?

[07:02:47] Alright so I'm about to do a damage boost strat for a skip in a moment. So I'm going

[07:02:51] to shake hands with this mumblebee right here if he'll let me. Oh dear!

[07:02:57] Yeah? Okay... interesting. Yeah.

[07:03:00] Okay, interesting.

[07:03:04] And so we're gonna do this skip right here around the corner.

[07:03:06] Nice!

[07:03:08] Uh oh.

[07:03:10] Good okay. So this will be a little dicey because I'm at 1 HP

[07:03:12] but it doesn't end here.

[07:03:15] We're going to be doing another one of those

[07:03:17] like one frame slope jumps

[07:03:19] but this one has a really good setup so probably shouldn't be that bad

[07:03:25] there we go nice i'll take second and i think for safety i'm going to

[07:03:30] uh just go ahead and grab this.

[07:03:38] Oh yeah!

[07:03:41] Oh yeah- oh that's rough.

[07:03:43] Okay so...

[07:03:45] We're SO bad. Yeah I just needed the faceblock

[07:03:47] at the end there and I completely torched it

[07:03:49] So... Truly underfunded

[07:03:51] That's rough describes me watching this the entire time.

[07:03:53] The funny thing is that my PB

[07:03:58] Is from before a whole lot of routing things for this game

[07:04:01] At least I'm coming

[07:04:04] What did you lose? whole lot of routing things for this game. Please don't kill me. So, like... Oh god, okay.

[07:04:06] Well, this is terrifying.

[07:04:09] Should be fine, but

[07:04:10] it's true. Yeah, exactly.

[07:04:12] This game is terrifying. People have their things.

[07:04:14] So thanks to the efforts of like again Ryan and Sour there's actually a new route for this back half of Garbage Barge so we used to go to the other side first. We're actually going to take a turn this way,

[07:04:25] and so the idea behind this is that

[07:04:27] the final ring that we want to pick up

[07:04:29] is the face block ring

[07:04:31] so we are gonna get the reset point

[07:04:33] turn around and then get the rest of the things

[07:04:36] that we want.

[07:04:38] And then we'll come back around later. Okay so this is skateboarding

[07:04:40] This is like legitimately one of

[07:04:42] the hardest sections to do the optimal strap

[07:04:44] for so I'm just going lock in here like all of

[07:04:46] this is actually just like legitimately difficult to nail down

[07:04:49] so not this first part though first parts

[07:04:53] just easy money but after that it gets kind of funky

[07:05:05] almost since that one okay

[07:05:12] good

[07:05:18] okay that's the really scary part we'll see if I can link it all together

[07:05:29] People have insights alright, that's hard! This is one of the hardest things in the game, it's just a rat running.

[07:05:33] Alright if I can get quiet for just a sec...

[07:05:37] Let's go! Nice! That's really hard.

[07:05:40] That jump sucks

[07:05:42] because, like

[07:05:44] you have very little runway

[07:05:46] and if you beef it

[07:05:48] you get put in that slide state and it's just the worst every time you've popped off

[07:05:52] has been followed by that thing soft all right well i'm going to be uh writing some balloons

[07:05:58] here while i go grab the golden key in here.

[07:06:01] Craig, have you got any more fun Stuart Gaming

[07:06:03] facts? This will be a great time.

[07:06:05] I will keep the Stuart little facts

[07:06:07] and testimonials coming.

[07:06:09] I have $25 here from Blackthornwolf who says,

[07:06:12] Good morning GDQ and happy 4th.

[07:06:15] I'm pretty sure I played Stuart Little 2 in a fever dream

[07:06:18] from an amazing pic of renting from Blockbuster as a child doing my part to spread the pokemon love

[07:06:25] let's go challenge mode let's go bingo people People have been saying this!

[07:06:32] I also have $25 here from Perfectly Cromulent, who says,

[07:06:36] Stuart Little fun fact in addition to writing the movie M Night Shyamalan

[07:06:41] Also wrote all of the dialogue for the Stuart Little video games.

[07:06:45] I'm not a fact checker, that sounds good to me!

[07:06:48] Close enough.

[07:06:49] I mean one of my bits was gonna be give us your best Stuart facts, wrong answers only so...

[07:06:53] Yeah no-I know for a fact that that one is correct

[07:06:56] okay good of course oh okay and as we're on our way here

[07:07:00] i got another deuce to pass off wow from my writer! For my rider guy, my goat

[07:07:05] Nastani. Uh-huh.

[07:07:07] I'm scared now. That's the one

[07:07:09] that for sure doesn't work.

[07:07:11] Nastani refuses to play this game.

[07:07:13] Alright, so this is the final boss, Falcon Boss.

[07:07:16] You might be wondering what the lore behind this is.

[07:07:19] You can look it up.

[07:07:21] No?

[07:07:22] No, you're not wondering, okay.

[07:07:25] Oh that's because I'll be playing the game myself

[07:07:27] with this disc you gave me.

[07:07:28] Exactly.

[07:07:29] So the way that this works is that we just need to

[07:07:33] grab these battery packs and then

[07:07:35] press X to charge into it

[07:07:36] but you really need to like not do any turns

[07:07:39] Otherwise they'll just whiff and it's really annoying. So there's very specific spots. I'm gonna try to do this at

[07:07:45] So that's one of them. I did have to miss that battery there should be fine um if you do

[07:07:50] everything perfectly um you basically get to save like a cycle of like going through a part

[07:07:55] with no batteries whatsoever um so i don't even know if we're on

[07:07:59] the route for that, but we'll see.

[07:08:05] There's two more hits coming in, I believe

[07:08:07] so time is going to be on uh final hit oh this is then yeah this is the end

[07:08:14] thank goodness

[07:08:17] this is the last step.

[07:08:20] I don't even know...

[07:08:21] Am I gonna have the battery here?

[07:08:22] Nope, I'm not. Okay.

[07:08:24] Really cool.

[07:08:25] Time and time!

[07:08:31] This is...

[07:08:32] this has been so different from Whiplash

[07:08:34] because Whiplash changed my life,

[07:08:35] but with this I feel like

[07:08:36] I've just been dissociating for the past

[07:08:38] 35 minutes 56.6 seconds.

[07:08:41] Whiplash was one step forward. Spirit was two steps

[07:08:43] back. Someone argued three.

[07:08:45] Oh, right, right, right.

[07:08:47] As much as I wanted to see it.

[07:08:49] Yeah, as much as the people needed to see that.

[07:08:52] Oh,

[07:08:53] I thought I had

[07:08:53] a third Stuart disc

[07:08:55] for you Helix

[07:08:56] but unfortunately

[07:08:56] I guess I don't so

[07:08:57] Nisani,

[07:08:58] I think you might

[07:08:58] want my share or so.

[07:09:01] Uh,

[07:09:11] oh! You want that right? Yeah, yeah oh people have been saying this.

[07:09:13] Yeah!

[07:09:16] Perfect!

[07:09:17] I was actually thinking of playing that with my card.

[07:09:19] No you weren't.

[07:09:22] I'm hoping you make the decision on your own behalf. Yeah, you're right. No one had the thing.

[07:09:24] Okay.

[07:09:28] On that note, once again, shout-outs to Tonitris, Ryan Pointless,

[07:09:32] Vsour for competing with me and against Dan

[07:09:35] just helping make this game actually fun to run.

[07:09:37] I've been Jaxler,

[07:09:38] You can find me at twitch.tv slash jaxler1

[07:09:41] Thank you so much everyone who's been here

[07:09:42] for silly block

[07:09:43] This was so freaking awesome keep watching keep donating

[07:09:46] and keep bringing in your stewart 2 facts i'll read them all at some point thank you

[07:09:50] all so much have a great rest of the event it hey what's going on everyone i'm brutal mellow and i'm here with my

[07:10:04] dear friend musical daredevil md how are you doing today i'm doing

[07:10:08] great bruno melo i'm just so excited to be here yeah i'm excited to have you here you

[07:10:12] have a run in finally after so many years tell, what are you running and tell us the history of how you finally got to be here?

[07:10:20] Yep, I'm going to be running The Elder Scrolls Morrowind. It's a game that I've been submitting for quite awhile now

[07:10:26] And um...you're going to be seeing the author I've been submitting for quite a while now.

[07:10:27] And you're going to be seeing the all main quest route,

[07:10:30] which is where we do all of the main quests.

[07:10:33] Yeah!

[07:10:34] The history of this game for me started way back in I think like 2013-ish, when I was watching actually some old GDQ VODs.

[07:10:44] And someone way back in 2010 or 2011 did an any% run of Morrowind here at GDQ.

[07:10:49] And I was watching this run

[07:10:51] and I said to myself you know

[07:10:53] This looks kind of interesting

[07:10:55] Morrowind is actually one of my favorite games

[07:10:57] of all time.

[07:11:00] And this run looks

[07:11:02] interesting, it looks easy, maybe I can do this myself. And so I got

[07:11:04] online, did some research about how the

[07:11:06] run works, what the strats are and just

[07:11:08] I started speedrunning more on myself from a GDQ vibe.

[07:11:11] That's so awesome that watching

[07:11:13] GDQ inspired you to take on a run

[07:11:15] which led to a whole series of runs

[07:11:17] and then led to your involvement

[07:11:18] as a volunteer and partner,

[07:11:20] being here now as a runner.

[07:11:22] That's really cool.

[07:11:23] I know GDQ always inspires but it is great

[07:11:25] to hear it first hand.

[07:11:27] Thinking about the Elder Scrolls series

[07:11:29] I'm passionate about Skyrim. It was huge

[07:11:32] for me when that first came out. 11-11

[07:11:34] 11 as we were talking about.

[07:11:36] Right! I was like alright, I'm a big boy

[07:11:38] I can buy this myself!

[07:11:40] So tell me like, Skyrim obviously was a huge wave of popularity for the Elder Scrolls series.

[07:11:45] So maybe there are a lot of people who haven't gone back and played the games like Morrowind.

[07:11:48] What would you say to people who...

[07:11:50] You know, to get them more interested in playing this game.

[07:11:53] Sure! So right now Morrowind is in a very big modding renaissance believe it or not

[07:11:58] A game from 2002 in the modding Renaissance. Who would have thought about it?

[07:12:01] Where a couple years ago, they found a way

[07:12:04] to introduce Lua scripting into the game.

[07:12:06] Now, Morrowind is a game from 2002

[07:12:08] Game of the Year edition in 2003.

[07:12:10] It has a lot of 2002-2003

[07:12:12] game design sensibilities.

[07:12:15] And it also has a lot of its Dungeons & Dragons tabletop gaming roots.

[07:12:18] So you see a lot of dice rolls that happen behind the scenes

[07:12:22] and you can say attack an enemy or cast a spell and that can fail completely because you failed the dice roll.

[07:12:26] That's happening behind the scenes so you didn't know that was exactly what was going on.

[07:12:30] But with the introduction of LUA scripting, there are a lot more things that modders can do now.

[07:12:37] And so you can take this game from 2002 and really bring it much more into 2024.

[07:12:42] And so it's still very much that same D&D tabletop role-playing game

[07:12:47] that you saw.

[07:12:48] It's not an action RPG like Skyrim is,

[07:12:50] but I'd say now is definitely a time

[07:12:52] if you really, really like installing mods

[07:12:54] and customizing your game,

[07:12:55] now is a great time to get into Morrowind.

[07:12:57] Sweet! Alright, tell us what excites

[07:12:59] you about this run in particular and maybe

[07:13:01] what your favorite glitch or trick is?

[07:13:03] So for speedrunning in general

[07:13:05] I just really like glitches.

[07:13:07] I like breaking games wide open.

[07:13:08] I like making ridiculous things happen

[07:13:10] on screen and Morrowind is absolutely

[07:13:13] full of those.

[07:13:14] There's nothing that we've picked up for a while. Grand Theft Auto

[07:13:16] Vice City, lots of glitches in that run as well.

[07:13:20] And with

[07:13:21] Morrowind, I'm not going to spoil too much of the

[07:13:23] run. I just want you all to watch the run

[07:13:24] and just experience what's going to happen in the run.

[07:13:27] But you've got some amazing things happening there,

[07:13:29] like so much out of bounds and so much incredible speed.

[07:13:32] We're passing quests instantly.

[07:13:33] We're just doing ridiculous things on screen.

[07:13:35] So I just love glitches, and Morrowind has so many of them.

[07:13:39] You know, I'm no newcom if you can see it, but the speed runs are really hard to get

[07:13:40] done.

[07:13:42] You have a lot of glitches and

[07:13:44] Morrowind has so many of them.

[07:13:46] I am no newcomer to speed

[07:13:48] runs, but when I heard the estimate for this category 26 minutes, kind away because these games are real thick so it's like how difficult is it that you're getting this

[07:13:52] done in 26 minutes? So the difficulty in the all main quest routes doesn't really come from

[07:13:57] the same place a lot of other speedruns that folks might have seen come

[07:14:01] from there isn't really any pixel perfect tricks, there aren't any frame

[07:14:05] perfect tricks but with all main quests you've got so much you do. Right yeah

[07:14:09] yes that's what I'm thinking right It's all of the main quests!

[07:14:12] And so the difficulty really just comes from trying to remember where you're supposed to go next

[07:14:17] What you're supposed to do next

[07:14:19] Because I have lost many runs where

[07:14:23] I went someplace early. I script ahead a couple quests. I get there and it's

[07:14:27] oh! This is the wrong dialogue, because I got here

[07:14:31] early and there was another thing that I was supposed to do first.

[07:14:34] Oops!

[07:14:35] Okay, so if we switch to any percent by hitting the bonus incentive

[07:14:40] what's the difference there?

[07:14:42] Yep, with all main quests we of course have to do

[07:14:44] All of the main quests. But with Any%

[07:14:46] We don't have to do that

[07:14:48] Morrowind is an open world game where you can just go right

[07:14:50] To the end of the game and that's exactly what

[07:14:52] We're gonna do in Any%. We're're gonna skip all that stuff, and instead

[07:14:55] of 26 minutes, we are going to finish

[07:14:57] the game in 4 minutes.

[07:14:59] Well normally we say like donate to hit

[07:15:01] that bonus incentive so you can see more

[07:15:03] GDQ. In this case, you'll be getting less

[07:15:05] GDQ but it's going to be hyper

[07:15:07] impressive GDQ. Look at four

[07:15:09] minutes of GDQ. Four more minutes!

[07:15:11] Oh I didn't even realize! I thought it was replacing

[07:15:13] the main run. Oh, no.

[07:15:15] It's bonus.

[07:15:16] That's why we're here.

[07:15:17] We're here to inform you.

[07:15:18] Yeah.

[07:15:19] We'll see that the any percent run in addition

[07:15:21] to the all major bosses.

[07:15:23] Okay.

[07:15:23] Now, I know you lead a pretty intriguing life.

[07:15:26] Your name is Musical Daredevil.

[07:15:29] How accurate is the name musical?

[07:15:33] Well, I do do a lot of musical stuff.

[07:15:35] I'm actually part of three different community orchestras

[07:15:37] and all three of them play music

[07:15:39] from video games. Nice!

[07:15:41] The first orchestra I am part of is the

[07:15:43] MAGFest Community Orchestra, which meets

[07:15:45] every year at Super Mag Fest.

[07:15:47] Big shout out to the MCO folks.

[07:15:50] On the screen here what do we have? Yeah. So what you

[07:15:53] have there that was actually an amazing opportunity

[07:15:56] I got last March. I got to be on stage for the

[07:15:59] choir at Four Distant Worlds,

[07:16:01] The Final Fantasy concert when it came

[07:16:03] to Washington D.C., and you can see

[07:16:05] me there in the choir, I'm right there

[07:16:07] in front row on the right side.

[07:16:08] And this was actually an opportunity with my community orchestra

[07:16:11] in Washington, D.C.,

[07:16:13] The Washington Metropolitan Game Symphony Orchestra

[07:16:15] who I am representing here on my shirt today.

[07:16:18] We also got a chance to perform at the Kennedy Center, which I believe

[07:16:21] we also have a photo of. Yup there we are! That is with Grammy Award winning composer

[07:16:27] Christopher Tinn who composed the main menu themes to Civilization 4 and 6. He was

[07:16:32] commissioned to write a new ending for the opera Turandot, and as part of that is part of hyping up

[07:16:37] this new ending to the opera all of us got to perform at one of

[07:16:41] the most prestigious concert halls in the united states and that is the

[07:16:44] kennedy center right there and it's kind of i'm kind of hard to see

[07:16:47] but i'm in the center of the back row there

[07:16:49] so huge opportunity yeah That's so impressive!

[07:16:51] Yeah, we have one more picture here then I have another question for you.

[07:16:55] Let me see if we can get that...

[07:16:57] Yes, that is MAGFest, that's the MAGFest Community Orchestra.

[07:17:00] So last January, I got a huge opportunity with MCO,

[07:17:04] I submitted my full orchestra and choir arrangement of the Black Knight 2000 theme

[07:17:09] which those who have been on site are probably pretty familiar with that.

[07:17:13] If you've stopped by the arcade, we have here.

[07:17:15] No way!

[07:17:17] And those of you who have listened to the stream

[07:17:18] have probably heard this theme as well.

[07:17:20] And so my arrangement was actually performed

[07:17:22] by MCO at NAGFest last January with the full 200-person orchestra and choir.

[07:17:29] You can see me there with Thomas Kresge who conducted,

[07:17:32] and our soloist Josh there,

[07:17:34] who got to be featured as

[07:17:35] our Black Knight voice actor.

[07:17:37] Awesome! Now, M.D., you were able

[07:17:39] to shout out one of the orchestra

[07:17:40] that you work with but quickly tell me

[07:17:41] about the other two before I move on

[07:17:43] to my last question.

[07:17:44] So we've got WMGSO,

[07:17:46] which is my main

[07:17:47] orchestra in Washington D.C.

[07:17:49] I'm a tenor in the chorus.

[07:17:51] I also run our live streaming team.

[07:17:53] You can check us out at twitch.tvtv wmgso and then my third orchestra is the virtual video game

[07:17:58] orchestra where i am a tenor in the chorus i also submit um recordings virtually so

[07:18:04] i can do multiple instruments i'll also play violin for that as well

[07:18:06] we recently had a release on youtube of opening bombing mission which was two years in the making

[07:18:11] so you can definitely check that out so that is vvgo and that is all three of my orchestras,

[07:18:17] Awesome!

[07:18:18] Vico WJSO and MCO

[07:18:19] Yeah I mean

[07:18:20] I'm really just so impressed by you

[07:18:22] You do so much with music

[07:18:24] I am musical myself

[07:18:25] I've been playing the saxophone for 20 years,

[07:18:27] had these sort of conversations before

[07:18:29] and we do have a little bit

[07:18:30] of a treat for you all.

[07:18:31] We're not going to play that just yet.

[07:18:32] We got one more question.

[07:18:34] So with you being so heavily involved

[07:18:36] in volunteer roles

[07:18:37] or behind-the-scenes roles what words of encouragement With you being so heavily involved in volunteer roles and behind the scene roles,

[07:18:39] what words of encouragement would you say to someone who wants to be more

[07:18:43] involved and is maybe inspired by the work that you do?

[07:18:46] So for anyone out there who's maybe looking

[07:18:48] for a volunteer opportunity,

[07:18:51] I would absolutely recommend applying to be a volunteer.

[07:18:54] GDQ does get a lot of volunteers

[07:18:56] and sometimes you just might not be selected.

[07:18:59] Sometimes we've got so many volunteers, folks,

[07:19:01] we can't take them all but absolutely keep applying.

[07:19:04] It is a huge honor to be backstage helping out with hosting

[07:19:08] and head donations, regular

[07:19:10] donations.

[07:19:11] Stream tech, stage tech.

[07:19:12] We've got so many amazing roles

[07:19:14] here and just being able to be

[07:19:15] part of helping out with GDQ is

[07:19:17] such a huge honor with all the

[07:19:19] amazing work that some of our charity partners do MSF, PEAC I'm so happy to be here. It's been a huge honor with all

[07:19:21] the amazing work that some of

[07:19:23] our charity partners do, MSF,

[07:19:25] PCF, many of the other folks

[07:19:27] for smaller events and I would

[07:19:29] just absolutely encourage you

[07:19:30] apply even if you didn't make it, you might get in next time. Your number might be called next time.

[07:19:32] Thank you so much, Musical Daredevil.

[07:19:34] Folks, we got a very special surprise for you.

[07:19:37] If you're here in person, perk up those ears.

[07:19:39] If you're in the chat, get ready.

[07:19:44] We're going to be back with quack silver right after this so so I'm sorry. Thank you so much for that, Mello. I feel amped now! Absolute congratulations to you Musical Daredevil, that was truly a treat and friends with that we have made it all the way through the silly block and with that

[07:20:52] we are in the home stretch the beginning of the beginning of the end of Summer

[07:20:57] Games Done Quick 2024.

[07:20:59] We've got three

[07:21:01] jam-packed

[07:21:03] days to get through

[07:21:05] yet and we are going

[07:21:07] to absolutely crush it,

[07:21:08] starting of course

[07:21:09] with Chat.

[07:21:11] We're in a bit

[07:21:12] of a race situation now.

[07:21:14] We have just two runs

[07:21:15] left to hit that

[07:21:16] Pokemon White 2 Challenge mode upgrade you have just a little bit shy of

[07:21:21] 4 000 left to raise we were at 16 141 out of 20,000 total.

[07:21:28] But I know you are absolutely going to crush it

[07:21:32] while we get our next run set up.

[07:21:34] Don't go anywhere. And while we set up, I would like to bring the Stuart Little Fact portion of the morning to a close with a very important two donations.

[07:22:01] First here, I have $25 from KG face who says, did you know Stuart little is

[07:22:07] actually nine feet tall and everyone else in the movie is giant.

[07:22:11] Horrifying, thank you so much!

[07:22:13] And I think this is most important

[07:22:16] $25 from Demon Fire who says

[07:22:19] Stuart Little Fact

[07:22:21] He has heard everything you've been saying about him all run.

[07:22:25] He will not forget.

[07:22:28] That has given me enough things to think about

[07:22:31] for an incredibly long

[07:22:33] time.

[07:22:36] I also have $25

[07:22:37] here from Ixador92

[07:22:39] who says, this Stuart Little Tea segment is

[07:22:41] madness incarnate. Great way to start the morning.

[07:22:44] Absolutely want to see that challenge mode for Pokemon White 2

[07:25:55] Jitsuroku Powerful Yakyuken

[07:25:58] Slugger Yamada

[07:25:59] is a game that in many respects

[07:26:02] is still a silly game

[07:26:03] but in many other respects is a very serious

[07:26:07] game demanding your full attention to understand what exactly

[07:26:11] is going on. And what is going on right now

[07:26:15] is we are at $16,371

[07:26:18] raised out of

[07:26:19] 20,000 total for that

[07:26:25] Incentive. We're getting close,

[07:28:05] we are making

[07:28:06] excellent progress and I will keep checking

[07:28:08] in with you as we segue

[07:28:10] now to the most serious

[07:28:12] silly game and the most silly serious game.

[07:28:15] It's Sean A running Jitsuroku Powerful Yakyuken Slugger Yamada!

[07:28:36] Slugger Yamada Ohio, everyone. for you right now. Remember, it's always Ohio Design Months for you somewhere. As you may have heard, the silly block

[07:28:38] is over. This is

[07:28:40] serious gaming for serious gamers

[07:28:42] such as myself. I've

[07:28:44] got some serious gamers here on the couch as well. We got Blahaj there,

[07:28:48] very serious gamer. Happyby3...I forget its name. Nonetheless welcome! And Killing Pepsi. Nonetheless, welcome.

[07:28:57] And killing Pepsi!

[07:28:59] Serious gamer?

[07:29:01] Thank you. Alright so this is Jitsuroku Powerful Yakuken Sluggerada. Also known as Slugger Yamada.

[07:29:07] Also known as Third Person Game Template.

[07:29:10] That's just what the process name is because it's amazing.

[07:29:14] This was my favorite game of 2023.

[07:29:16] One of my favorite games of all time so I'm very happy to be able to show it off

[07:29:19] here so let's go ahead and get started i'm gonna go to the actual main menu this is not

[07:29:23] the main menu i just wanted to show you this because it's one of the best menus in a video

[07:29:27] game also.

[07:29:34] I tried.

[07:29:36] Alright, let's get started here.

[07:29:40] 3...2...1...go. Let's go Yamada!

[07:29:42] So this game is in its own universe mechanically speaking

[07:29:44] there really nothing like it

[07:29:46] if you're a bit confused just remember

[07:29:48] it's a bit like baseball close Close your eyes and imagine a baseball in

[07:29:51] your head, and then rotate that baseball. It's sort

[07:29:53] of like that. So we have two phases to our combat. We

[07:29:57] have batting and pitching. We're in batting right now as you can see

[07:29:59] we are swinging our bat.

[07:30:01] I don't know why my clicks aren't registering. Nonetheless, it's fine.

[07:30:05] We'll carry through. Hard strat here. Gonna spawn both tanks

[07:30:09] double back one swing unfortunate. If you time that exactly

[07:30:14] right you can get both tanks in one set of shots but it's all good I think

[07:30:19] because I had to do an extra swing on the little dudes back there,

[07:30:23] I ran out of time stop gauge which is in bottom right.

[07:30:27] I don't have time to fully explain that but nonetheless

[07:30:29] there's a lot I don't have time to explain.

[07:30:31] Doors in this game open sometimes you have to destroy a set of enemies

[07:30:33] Sometimes you can just walk towards them like this one and get them to open

[07:30:37] And then whenever we get to the end of level we're going to quit the menu to skip the ending sequence

[07:30:41] And go right to the menu here. Moving on to our first real level of the game,

[07:30:44] I just want to give a quick special shout out

[07:30:46] to this over here.

[07:30:49] Just incredible environmental storytelling

[07:30:52] really asks a lot of questions and answers few about the game's lore

[07:30:56] uh the lower demons have invaded earth or something or aliens i'm not really sure um we

[07:31:02] have to become the greatest slugger in the universe and also collect the ultimate ingredients.

[07:31:06] We got the first ultimate ingredient right here, it's the crab sticks.

[07:31:09] They also give us the power of the crab which is the side step.

[07:31:12] Look at Yama go right there. Very, very nice.

[07:31:15] They're going to be pretty useful.

[07:31:17] Going to do our first stat upgrade here after some dialogue

[07:31:22] and moving on.

[07:31:24] So I upgraded movement speed there because it's a speed run

[07:31:27] um i'm gonna be able to cancel the ending part of my shot animation here

[07:31:31] if a sidestep i'm also going to do like a little flick

[07:31:33] to try and make you go forward so that was was pretty decent. That probably actually saved time.

[07:31:37] You really love to see it.

[07:31:39] The upgrade menu contains all your normal upgrades

[07:31:41] for this sort of game.

[07:31:43] We've got attack, defense, speed, meat...

[07:31:45] everything you expect to see.

[07:31:48] I'm also going to be sort of focusing

[07:31:50] on score early in this run

[07:31:52] increasing your score

[07:31:54] determines how fast

[07:31:56] you get these unlocks and getting unlocks earlier is usually better um so

[07:32:01] scoring is dependent more or less entirely on your batting average real by the way that's not a bit

[07:32:07] i'm not a funny enough person to come up with bits for this game

[07:32:09] that are funnier than the actual content of the game, which is great.

[07:32:13] So I'm going to be trying to hit as many things

[07:32:15] with each swing as possible to bring out my batting average.

[07:32:20] One survived there. that's fine.

[07:32:23] Ideally I can destroy all of those enemies with just

[07:32:26] that combo there but

[07:32:29] getting changes happening on a timer

[07:32:31] though I do also have the ability to change

[07:32:33] innings manually. If I run out of

[07:32:35] innings, game will

[07:32:37] end and Yamada will die

[07:32:39] permanently but that should never happen with the current

[07:32:42] strats i rarely go above like three innings yeah the only exception is sometimes we

[07:32:49] won't go above three things on purpose to get more of those little flaming

[07:32:52] baseballs you see um do you want to talk about kidama yeah so every time you switch you get

[07:32:59] another key down there they're used for these special abilities

[07:33:02] that shawn has unlocked they are bound to the up and down scroll wheel right

[07:33:05] there you got another one pretty much a nice level here it was going

[07:33:10] to be used for special skills um which we can equip to up and down scroll wheel.

[07:33:13] It's where I would choose to map things.

[07:33:15] It's a good choice.

[07:33:17] We're gonna use our first one here across Forky Dama

[07:33:20] And...we're gonna use it as a sort of power shot, aim check.

[07:33:25] Hey!

[07:33:26] I love to see it.

[07:33:27] So if you rapidly change your aim there

[07:33:29] you can make some shots go to one tank

[07:33:30] and some go to the other

[07:33:32] avoiding having to clean up the second tank which we got there that's honestly

[07:33:35] really tricky so i'm happy i got that i'm gonna get a bunch of unlocks here so uh donation

[07:33:41] absolutely the pokemon fans are waking up a donation train is very much brewing i have 14.30

[07:33:50] here from lily's dark materials who says 1 43 for my best boy Snorlax.

[07:33:56] Time for one more?

[07:33:57] I don't think so, unfortunately.

[07:33:59] This game's moving at a rapid pace.

[07:34:01] Doing one more speed unlock here and we're going to move it on

[07:34:03] to a very important level.

[07:34:05] So we need to get 15,000 points

[07:34:07] in this level for the S rank bonus which gives

[07:34:09] us a special skill called the rocket start.

[07:34:11] It lets us use

[07:34:12] rocket boosters and is going to become our main form

[07:34:15] of movement throughout the run once we get it.

[07:34:17] Just sort of have to go through here, if you run through this as fast as possible

[07:34:20] we should get the S rank easily just make sure we get all these speed power-ups

[07:34:23] and then don't get caught on any of these enemies very nice

[07:34:28] More important than the rocket boosters is this, we've just unlocked

[07:34:30] a deck system. It's called Yugo.

[07:34:32] This game is now a deck builder and we now have

[07:34:34] a dual disc installed inside of our bat.

[07:34:36] Real lore, it's in the readme. I mean, it's an indie game

[07:34:39] made in 2023.

[07:34:41] We knew it was a deck builder.

[07:34:43] That's so true!

[07:34:44] So we can change cards. It says SR

[07:34:47] on the top right because she's a speedrunner,

[07:34:49] and different cards have different properties

[07:34:51] and they only last for a certain amount of fittings.

[07:34:55] It's hard to really explain why we use the cards

[07:34:57] we do, just trust me on this one.

[07:35:00] But we are going to go equip them right now so let's see if I can do this menu well.

[07:35:03] This game has far more mechanics than is reasonable to explain in 20 minutes and

[07:35:07] We don't even use all of mechanics. We were just introduced to the

[07:35:10] gacha system. You can roll

[07:35:13] for new cards to build your deck,

[07:35:15] but it's slow

[07:35:17] and puts RNG into

[07:35:19] the run, so we just avoid it altogether.

[07:35:21] There are cards that save time in the gatcha

[07:35:24] but a single gacha roll takes about 10 seconds

[07:35:27] and there are not cards that save 10 seconds

[07:35:30] We think maybe theoretically if you got an absolutely perfect gutter roll,

[07:35:34] you might be able to save time but it would dig into the main enemy.

[07:35:39] I'm gonna move back here and try and

[07:35:40] move all these enemies towards this choke point.

[07:35:43] Enemies only move towards you when

[07:35:44] you're looking at them, so I'm trying

[07:35:45] to keep them all in view so that they

[07:35:47] all move towards me.

[07:35:50] Definitely one short clean up there,

[07:35:51] but otherwise that was pretty alright

[07:35:52] the least threatening form of weeping angels you just look away and you're

[07:35:57] safe which we will be doing later it's a

[07:36:01] important strategy I'm gonna clean out the end here, hopefully gonna be able

[07:36:05] to get either three or four of these guys to go

[07:36:08] to the tank and then last one is going to go

[07:36:10] to that tank it looks like it is very nice.

[07:36:13] Nice work. to that tank looks like it is very nice

[07:36:16] and finishing this level and moving on to our oh we also got the cup ramen

[07:36:20] second ultimate ingredient it doesn't give us any ability but hey it's ramen

[07:36:23] yeah it's always a good time for ramen.

[07:36:25] It's true. We are going to be moving on

[07:36:27] to our first boss level of the run

[07:36:29] Kyo and Pepsi you want to explain how bosses work?

[07:36:31] Yeah there is two kinds of bosses in this game

[07:36:33] The first one is a helicopter which you'll see a few times

[07:36:36] So we're going to build up our key down with a sword, wait for it to shoot a bunch of shots

[07:36:39] and then reflect them with the big pickaxe swing

[07:36:45] there we go.

[07:36:46] And if you can cancel that animation with a card switch right here, this

[07:36:49] card gives us two extra key diamonds so we have four which is perfect to

[07:36:52] finish off with one more swing.

[07:36:55] A bunch of cut scenes here so maybe one or two donations?

[07:36:57] Absolutely, and a very important

[07:36:59] update. We are just under $2,000

[07:37:01] away from that challenge mode

[07:37:03] Pokemon White upgrade!

[07:37:05] Keep the donations coming, y'all! I have $100 here from Benny Omega who says this game looks batty.

[07:37:12] I hope you aren't sluggish and hit that home run. Donation goes to Pokemon Y2 Challenge Mode.

[07:37:19] Alright, I did get an upgrade

[07:37:20] here. It gives us plus two keydome at the

[07:37:22] start of the level. I did a specific

[07:37:24] strat on the boss to give myself

[07:37:26] a ton of score just to get that, because it lets us do an extra rocket boost for free basically which is quite good.

[07:37:33] So I need to explain this level and focus.

[07:37:35] Yeah so at the start it's going to look like look like swinging into the enemies behind him,

[07:37:39] into this robot here. Very good!

[07:37:40] And try and hit this one here, we'll see if it goes.

[07:37:43] That was a tough one, you get a real quick backup that needs to do.

[07:37:46] Since this is my one contribution to the speedrun...

[07:37:49] After your break, destroy these three three robots, go on the right there

[07:37:52] is going to open and at the very end of the opening animation if we run against it

[07:37:57] against this wall here...

[07:38:00] Rip road record! Rip-rope record.

[07:38:03] The angle for getting that is pretty finicky, and it didn't want to give us

[07:38:07] at that time but we get another chance with the aim check here

[07:38:09] and that one looks really good uh watch the radar

[07:38:13] yeah nice yes as you can see um the way they kind of keep you on track in each level

[07:38:20] is by having these little walls on the side, but we're speedrunners.

[07:38:25] Nice.

[07:38:31] We don't fully understand why that door stopping its movement pushes you on top of the wall, but it saves 15 seconds so we're not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

[07:38:39] It's better not ask questions with this game. Just take it for what it is.

[07:38:42] That's a good rule of thumb with Yamada.

[07:38:44] In this level, I'll think of

[07:38:46] that first gap you run over

[07:38:48] completely randomly, you just fall in sometimes

[07:38:50] and then a shark eats you so

[07:38:52] always a little scary.

[07:38:56] Oh, we're playing tennis now. We're so good at baseball

[07:38:58] that we're going to play the hardest form of baseball

[07:39:00] tennis.

[07:39:02] We're going to run up and knock this ball over the net, which is going to set us up for a quick kill

[07:39:08] A little bit later. It's worth trying a few times

[07:39:12] There we go. So that'll get us a quick kill on some enemies at the end.

[07:39:15] But the first thing we're going to do is run over here,

[07:39:17] do some normal enemy hits and then we're just gonna swing at the air a bit.

[07:39:21] The problem with Sean is too good at video games

[07:39:24] If your batting average is too high and you get 500,000 points at the end of

[07:39:28] The game. You get a bonus cutscene

[07:39:31] And extra cutscenes obviously lose us quite a bit of time

[07:39:34] So we're just swinging into the air

[07:39:36] At that point to lower our batting average and lower

[07:39:38] our overall score because that's kind of the only time we can do it for free while we're waiting

[07:39:43] for some other stuff other stuff to happen and not lose time by doing it.

[07:39:48] These helicopter kills look so easy the way Sean does them, but they are in fact really,

[07:39:53] really hard. I struggled a lot with all of those in my casual playthrough.

[07:39:57] The casual playthrough of this game

[07:39:59] has a lot of knowledge checks that

[07:40:00] if you haven't played this game for over 100

[07:40:02] hours, you're not really going to get.

[07:40:05] I'm not showing you the casual experience here

[07:40:07] at all. A fun fact about the sniper tanks in this level, they are

[07:40:09] legally required to send us a notification

[07:40:11] before they attack but they aren't even going to get

[07:40:13] us time to do that because we're just

[07:40:15] going three too fast but it's just funny

[07:40:17] lore.

[07:40:19] Yeah, they sent a text message to your phone

[07:40:21] to be like, hey, I'm about to shoot you

[07:40:22] just so you know.

[07:40:28] Sharks?

[07:40:29] Shark by the way. Shark! Let's go sharks. Look at that, Sharks.

[07:40:31] Shark by the way.

[07:40:33] Let's go, sharks!

[07:40:35] That is why we have Bloodhush here.

[07:40:40] I specifically asked and they kindly obliged. I got to be doing my final stat. And then Kindly Oblige.

[07:40:40] I'm going to be doing my final stat upgrade here, just trust me that this is better,

[07:40:44] I am not doing a bit.

[07:40:48] Moving on to the first...well not really the first boss fight but

[07:40:52] First of this type of boss fight at least

[07:40:54] Yeah so we're gonna start off by shooting an up special here

[07:40:56] It's a big shot

[07:40:57] Immediately cancel the animation with a card switch

[07:41:00] Also get some Haki Diamond

[07:41:01] And get one more for 3 and then card switch. Also get some Horki Diamond,

[07:41:03] and get one more for three,

[07:41:04] and then Sean's

[07:41:05] going to do

[07:41:05] four-hit combos

[07:41:05] here, switching

[07:41:06] names twice really

[07:41:07] quickly to be able

[07:41:08] to do another

[07:41:08] four-hit combo,

[07:41:09] and just like

[07:41:09] Real Life,

[07:41:10] how physics works,

[07:41:11] you hit it a bunch

[07:41:11] and it does more damage if you hit the baseball

[07:41:15] multiple times it gets more points that's true as the rules of baseball that's exactly how

[07:41:20] baseball works but no trust me i know baseball player is good enough to actually pull it off unfortunately

[07:41:27] but someday someday we will reach yamada's level that was the shark man he's a really

[07:41:32] cool boss all the bosses are really cool casually I recommend like trying to melt but unfortunately we just kind of

[07:41:38] Unfortunately, we're gonna melt him

[07:41:47] Oh There he goes. We're getting some cheese packets here, it's another one of the ultimate

[07:41:51] ingredients so don't worry about it. It doesn't do anything, the crab sticks are

[07:41:56] the only ultimate ingredient that actually like

[07:41:58] does something

[07:42:00] and we're gonna be moving on to our next

[07:42:02] sports level. All the levels have been

[07:42:04] baseball so far because this game is baseball but now it's

[07:42:06] really baseball and as you know the way you play baseball is to immediately go for a home run

[07:42:12] and then uh murder the pitcher and that should kill everyone cheers watch the radar

[07:42:20] that is okay scary here i'm gonna switch to uh

[07:42:22] the wolf here and change some innings because

[07:42:25] any changes with that card heals.

[07:42:28] Sometimes those enemies attack, sometimes they don't and if they do it can get kind of dicey

[07:42:32] Alright now we're playing my personal favorite form of baseball which is soccer

[07:42:36] In this as we mentioned earlier

[07:42:39] these enemies only move toward you

[07:42:41] if your looking at them so were going to run over here

[07:42:43] look away wait until about 4 seconds on the timer

[07:42:45] and then start the fight that just sets us up

[07:42:47] to get all these kills in the quickest, safest way possible.

[07:42:50] And as you know, the primary rules of soccer are run to the touchline behind your opponent's goal

[07:42:56] wait until there is 4 seconds left in the half and then kill

[07:42:59] the goalkeeper. So that's exactly what we're going to do.

[07:43:03] Just got to get a soccer ball and some of the shots here,

[07:43:05] and that should be enough to kill very nice. And

[07:43:07] Then we're gonna get one of these guys showing up

[07:43:09] Here something we didn't mention is there's a headshot Very nice. And then we're going to get one of these guys showing up here.

[07:43:10] Something we didn't mention is there's a headshot mechanic in this game.

[07:43:13] Why did I do this? Oh no, it's just gonna work.

[07:43:16] What's the play here?

[07:43:18] I think it's this probably.

[07:43:20] This was sketchy but this should work I think it's this probably. This is sketchy, but

[07:43:21] this should work I think.

[07:43:23] I switched to the wrong card.

[07:43:25] Please work!

[07:43:27] It should.

[07:43:29] Oh that's... no no no no no no no we're good we're gonna it'll be fine i believe yes

[07:43:37] and we shouldn't get 500 000 here good job nice just under 500

[07:43:41] um so moving on to the final boss here.

[07:43:43] I want to talk about this game.

[07:43:44] This is a doll arms game and one of my favorite games ever.

[07:43:47] You owe it because it's that good.

[07:43:50] It's very rare to see a game pun intended swing for the fences on so many different mechanics and pull them off so effortlessly.

[07:43:57] So please give this game your time but time by the way is coming up very shortly uh this might not kill as soon as we killed

[07:44:07] this ultimate champion of baseball time um so that's it for that.

[07:44:15] If you do want to run this game, there isn't really a community or

[07:44:18] anything because it's...

[07:44:20] This game has like 20 reviews on Steam.

[07:44:22] It's not exactly known but reach out, be happy to tell you anything about this game.

[07:44:28] I am obsessed with sharing things about this game so please do so.

[07:44:34] If you need to find the game because it can be hard to cuz the steam titles written in like kanji

[07:44:39] So if you don't know how to write that could be tough

[07:44:43] So just go to speedrun.com slash Yamada and and there's a link to the game here, there.

[07:53:52] I did a lot

[07:53:53] of the sound

[07:53:53] for this game

[07:53:54] alongside my team

[07:53:55] here in Vancouver

[07:53:56] and I guess

[07:53:57] technically,

[07:53:58] yes,

[07:53:58] I am

[07:53:59] the former

[07:54:00] former former former former world record holder during play testing

[07:54:10] so real quick we'll let let Kevin explain what this game is.

[07:54:14] Yeah! This is kind of funny. We had the Celeste Pico 8 version that appeared on SGDQ from Sex Rex years ago.

[07:54:24] And now we have another game jam version of Celeste

[07:54:27] on SGDQ years later, so pretty cool this here at all

[07:54:32] thank you so much for myself and the rest of the team for running here at all. Thank you so much from myself and from the rest of the team

[07:54:33] for running it at all, TSM. Amazing.

[07:54:36] This is going to be quick

[07:54:37] so hence why we're talking about this before

[07:54:39] the run begins. So this was

[07:54:41] a Game Jam game.

[07:54:43] I was on Discord,

[07:54:44] like, on the XFK Discord

[07:54:45] looking at when we first made this channel

[07:54:46] for making this game in the first place.

[07:54:48] It was January 17th

[07:54:49] was day one channel opened.

[07:54:51] We shipped this game to the world on Januaryuary 29th and i learned of it personally

[07:54:56] on january 22nd so i had one week total um in which noel was saying hey i know you're like

[07:55:02] running a business over there and stuff but making a silly game for a week do you have time for us

[07:55:07] and we said you know what we're gonna drop everything into this thing the

[07:55:09] celeste of course and uh but yeah we we made the whole

[07:55:14] thing in a week and

[07:55:16] i guess noel was saying hey listen man like we're gonna work through it

[07:55:19] and it's going to be very silly it's mostly a meme game

[07:55:23] so it doesn't need to be good

[07:55:32] But then when rolls in and is using like the like sound fonts to make a new soundtrack

[07:55:38] And I mean in classic XO case style they say I just't need to be good and then they just made it good so i had to keep up and uh yeah there's a lot of lost sleep from the whole team

[07:55:44] and a lot of just uh good laughs and fun times making the silly things so i'm

[07:55:49] stoked to see you here on stage yeah so

[07:55:55] got a few things also to say before quickly so first donations

[07:55:59] There's not gonna be a lot of time for donations darkness run, but if you want to

[07:56:06] Tag along get a train going there should be eight intended debts throughout the run and if you

[07:56:13] want to do donations for all of those deaths but for any unintended bets that I take,

[07:56:20] I will donate $5.00 for each.

[07:56:22] I'll hop on that.

[07:56:23] I'm down with that.

[07:56:24] Yeah.

[07:56:25] I can probably hop on that.

[07:56:26] Just don't die too much.

[07:56:27] Oh yeah.

[07:56:28] Just at the end,

[07:56:29] dive like 15 times.

[07:56:31] As well as audience participation, there's two things we can do. First

[07:56:35] There is only 30 berries to collect

[07:56:39] So after each one has a fanfare kind of like sm64 when you collect the star we can clap at

[07:56:44] the end of that fanfare and uh and there's also a special song with some of the levels that we can sing along with.

[07:56:55] I think a lot of people are going to understand what it means when it happens.

[07:56:59] I expect some dancing from the back coach.

[07:57:03] Real quick since you said there's not a lot of time during the run, can I share some good news before we begin?

[07:57:09] We have hit the Pokémon Y2 Challenge Mode Off-Grade! Hit the Pokemon 1, 2 challenge mode upgrade.

[07:57:13] Let's go.

[07:57:15] On cue.

[07:57:16] Thank you so much everyone who made that happen.

[07:57:20] Thank you Quack and with that I think we're ready to show what the game is actually about.

[07:57:25] Yep, we're ready.

[07:57:27] Alright. Want to count it down Shaden?

[07:57:29] Absolutely. So...

[07:57:33] My first 3 ADQ run.

[07:57:35] Just breathe.

[07:57:36] Let's go!

[07:57:37] You got this!

[07:57:38] So we're going to start from 5...

[07:57:40] 4...

[07:57:41] 3...

[07:57:42] 2...

[07:57:43] 1...

[07:57:44] Go! 3, 2, 1, go!

[07:57:46] So like we said this game is short.

[07:57:48] Like starting off here's one berry of 30.

[07:57:54] Yeah so a quick explanation of this game is we have the same general toolkit as Celeste.

[07:57:59] We can dash, we can jump, we can grab.

[07:58:02] Where it's different in how the dash works because the dash is a little bit more restrictive.

[07:58:09] We can dash in any direction we want but we can't really do much vertically.

[07:58:13] If we're in the air you'll see that we a little bit up and that's pretty helpful.

[07:58:19] However

[07:58:19] there's also dash jumping which you can

[07:58:21] see at the start of this room and you're going to see all over

[07:58:23] the run which is simply just dashing

[07:58:25] and then jumping out of it, and you move faster.

[07:58:29] Yeah, it's like the extended supers in Celeste.

[07:58:33] Yeah, there's a good showcase of it here.

[07:58:34] And there's also no stamina in this game compared to Vanilla Celeste.

[07:58:42] Real quick, Madeline goes into the square hole.

[07:58:53] Yeah, there's a lot of momentum You will see us fling

[07:58:55] ourselves multiple different places

[07:58:57] Yeah it's a lot of fun that's what the

[07:59:00] fun part of the routing was with this uh it was changing every day for like

[07:59:03] the first week absolutely yeah and a lot of these cassette rooms are pretty

[07:59:07] simple um even if they have like a weird trick to them,

[07:59:10] they're gonna be pretty short but

[07:59:12] They're definitely one of the harder parts

[07:59:14] of this run compared to

[07:59:16] the overworld movement

[07:59:19] And here we see our first intentional death

[07:59:20] of the run There's a lot of varies where after you either want to warp back to a checkpoint or you get put in a bubble that puts you back to a checkpoint and that bubble animation is just really slow, so we never want to watch it if

[07:59:32] we can yeah we also didn't i don't know if

[07:59:35] we mentioned or not this game is free so if you like what you're seeing and

[07:59:40] you want a quick like 10-ish minute run to pick up or 15 second run

[07:59:46] if you run any percent.

[07:59:48] Definitely try it out.

[07:59:50] I think it's largely open source as well, actually.

[07:59:53] Yes, it is.

[07:59:53] It's very easy to make custom levels as well.

[07:59:56] I know people have already done that.

[07:59:59] So that always means there's technically infinite game.

[08:00:02] Here's a big launch

[08:00:08] Now we get all the big ones in a row

[08:00:11] There's another one we keep our speed by jumping here.

[08:00:14] Nice!

[08:00:15] It looks so clean, I love it.

[08:00:21] There's another one.

[08:00:23] Perfect.

[08:00:24] There is another really hard launch that we're gonna be doing later

[08:00:25] and we're gonna

[08:00:27] get some serious time for it

[08:00:29] but you have to do it without dashing

[08:00:31] Yeah, this room

[08:00:33] is going to start our tradition of really just not caring if there are keys

[08:00:38] yeah you can flip here and then grab outside okay i thought you were gonna jump

[08:00:43] that strat during the involvement and informeddie, she was like yeah I know.

[08:00:48] Yeah I know.

[08:00:49] So the golden feathers translate kind of similar to the dash into 3D where there's no vertical aspect to it you You can just kind of move horizontally.

[08:00:58] This fairy here, there's a small gap between the floor and the spikes

[08:01:02] and Shade just dashes over it.

[08:01:03] Nice.

[08:01:05] But the feathers are pretty simple.

[08:01:06] So here is a good time for one quick donation before we do a small skip in the upcoming set room.

[08:01:12] Oh boy! Do I have the one donation for you? It's $250 from Lena Raine!

[08:01:17] Let's go!

[08:01:18] Who says, wow, my favorite Nintendo 64 game.

[08:01:22] It's always a pleasure to see new things run on GDQ

[08:01:26] and best of luck with the run.

[08:01:28] Straub get!

[08:01:29] Thank you so much, Lena.

[08:01:31] The amount of people I've heard ask if this

[08:01:33] is all N64 is crazy.

[08:01:35] Also remember that

[08:01:37] thing about hating keys? yeah we hate grabbing keys

[08:01:40] yeah that one like a lot of these were found very quickly and again they

[08:01:45] were intended so yeah the uh this drop get ref from Lender right now.

[08:01:51] Basically Maddie had a loose plan slash desires to say how to say

[08:01:58] strub get on screen when you get one um she suggested this while in a plane over the

[08:02:04] atlantic ocean that's and uh noah was like, Go to sleep Maddy!

[08:02:11] Like stop working on the game.

[08:02:13] Also for the record I asked-

[08:02:15] None of us know why that feather trick works

[08:02:17] Yeah. But when you dash into that feather from the wall

[08:02:19] It gives you a lot of damage. Don't do that Shred

[08:02:21] I don't know how it works it just does yeah also this is where

[08:02:27] okay also again once again we no need the switches

[08:02:32] because you just jump to the end

[08:02:33] there. Yeah, we skip these again

[08:02:36] So this part of the area... This city map here is kind of divided into

[08:02:41] these like quadrants and each of them focus on their own things.

[08:02:44] So we were already in the momentum and the feather quadrant,

[08:02:47] this one I like to call it the double dash quadrant because there's a lot

[08:02:51] of carrying this double dash crystal with different fairies we can skip carrying it to

[08:02:55] this one with that big jump yeah uh but then do you want to talk about please yeah i think

[08:02:59] we'll let it speak for itself first and then we'll explain it after. See if you get this.

[08:03:06] First try! Let's go!

[08:03:08] That is way harder

[08:03:09] than he made that look.

[08:03:11] Yeah, so usually

[08:03:13] if you don't do that jump,

[08:03:15] You have to like walk around the entire map.

[08:03:18] Yeah and you-

[08:03:19] To bring a double dash to that panel

[08:03:21] And it's not as varying

[08:03:22] Yeah and you need to keep both your dashes

[08:03:24] so you can't dash at all for that

[08:03:25] Yeah So you just have to do like a quick

[08:03:27] double jump to keep uh your momentum and get enough speed yeah we tried to find a way to

[08:03:32] cheese that challenge and just failed the final one, I guess.

[08:03:37] We take it in our hands.

[08:03:39] This cassette's pretty simple.

[08:03:41] We're supposed to grab on these walls to make them fall. We're just going to dash over them.

[08:03:43] This is like my one contribution that

[08:03:45] I found. People were grabbing the walls and I'm like, you can just

[08:03:49] go over them.

[08:03:50] You did?

[08:03:51] Yeah!

[08:03:52] Okay, did I not find it?

[08:03:54] No, you didn't.

[08:03:56] And for the runners who didn't make it to the game.

[08:04:00] So now we're going to be getting

[08:04:01] the final climb to the ending area,

[08:04:04] We are not gonna be done with the run

[08:04:05] but we will be where the game would technically end in 80%.

[08:04:08] We probably have one more donation during this climb.

[08:04:11] Absolutely! I have $5 here from Du who says

[08:04:16] Good luck on the run Shaded! It's great to see you

[08:04:23] on stage and running a tough game.

[08:04:30] So yeah one last thing we should mention that we haven't yet is Virgin Differences.

[08:04:33] We're playing on, it's 1.0.1

[08:04:34] right? Yes.

[08:04:36] And the reason why we're playing on that, coming

[08:04:38] up in the final cassette room

[08:04:41] there's a skip where we need to climb into spikes

[08:04:45] and there was an update that it's very good for casual players,

[08:04:52] not good for us. It makes it so that it will not let you climb

[08:04:56] or like climb up into spikes or turn a corner where there are

[08:05:00] spikes. Oh, dang.

[08:05:03] So yeah, we...

[08:05:04] We hit the credits!

[08:05:06] I'm going to be on the call TSM.

[08:05:10] That's the reason

[08:05:10] why we're playing on the old version is to make sure we don't uh or we can

[08:05:15] climb into the spikes for that skip later it does make the climb a little bit harder because there

[08:05:19] is a chance we climb into the spikes during a skip on the climb, but it's worth

[08:05:24] it for the time save.

[08:05:27] There's a nice little one in the box

[08:05:28] there. That one with

[08:05:29] the falling

[08:05:32] platforms, I think that's always like the hardest berry to find casually.

[08:05:36] Yeah it was a lot of my friends last one and speaking of last ones this is the second-to-last cassette before

[08:05:41] the final cassette of the run. It uses the cassette blocks from the original Celeste, which are tied to the rhythm and...

[08:05:49] We're just gonna skip over here. Nice!

[08:05:52] Okay so you want serious time for this Shady?

[08:05:56] Yeah how are you feeling?

[08:05:58] Yes.

[08:05:59] Okay we're gonna be quiet. This is the last cassette it has three really hard skips

[08:06:05] Time will be

[08:06:06] very soon after it yeah it'll be after our death war out of the side uh Okay, looks good.

[08:06:31] Let's go!

[08:06:34] Yeah, that room takes a long time, casually.

[08:06:38] Just a casual sub-9 minute like there you go and...

[08:06:42] Time!

[08:06:45] That was really good.

[08:06:46] That beats both of our PBs?

[08:06:48] Oh no not mine.

[08:06:49] Subtle flex but no.

[08:06:51] I have a sub 8.

[08:06:55] Let's play out...

[08:07:00] Created in a week-ish by The Celeste Team...

[08:08:01] And lastly thank you to Celeste players everywhere.

[08:08:04] Your love and passion for our little game continues to inspire us.

[08:08:08] That's us!

[08:08:10] That's you! Thank you so much.

[08:08:13] So yeah, it was a I think at the start of

[08:08:15] the run but this game is free

[08:08:17] we kind of skipped over NPCs

[08:08:19] here they have cute dialogue

[08:08:21] Madeline Theo and

[08:08:23] Grannies down at the bottom left.

[08:08:25] And also Normal Celeste is $2 on Steam!

[08:08:28] That's true. Right now!

[08:08:30] You should play it. It's a good game.

[08:08:34] Of course for my shoutouts. Shoutout to everyone who has come here to watch and support

[08:08:40] Here in person and online

[08:08:43] And thank you to Kevin especially

[08:08:48] For getting back to me yesterday.

[08:09:03] Also a quick shout out to Noel Berry on the XOK team. I was climbing with him last night and I was like yeah so it's confirmed that I'm doing a commentary for Celeste64 right? And he's like oh cool wait is that Friday morning? He he's like i think it's tomorrow morning so thank you noel for

[08:09:11] uh a close one and just uh uh i i think just shout out to the celeste community. There's two different Discords, there is one for like

[08:09:23] The 2018 Celest and then there is one for like the itch.io

[08:09:29] Celeste game, so the one by SaxoRag said that and this one as well

[08:09:33] So if you want to run any of them

[08:09:37] There are multiple different places that you can go and there's plenty of people who are willing to help you out learn the game

[08:09:43] And get used to it. So yeah

[08:09:46] I don't have much to say other than just another shout-out the Celeste community. Really, it is a great

[08:09:50] community and shout outs to

[08:09:53] Trans Rights.

[08:09:54] Trans Rights?

[08:09:57] I got one

[08:09:59] more thing.

[08:10:01] Of course, follow me on Twitch.

[08:10:04] We had Heido Galaxy yesterday and we mentioned the 602.

[08:10:06] I will also be joining that next time.

[08:10:08] On King Day as well.

[08:10:10] Ah, yeah.

[08:10:10] But I think that's everything I need King Day as well. Ah, yeah.

[08:10:13] But I think that's everything I need to say.

[08:10:14] So...

[08:22:29] This is very similar.

[08:22:30] It's a super difficult trainer fight at the

[08:22:32] end of the run, and that

[08:22:34] is set at $40,000.

[08:22:36] I know that sounds like a lot, but we're already almost at $6,000. I know that sounds like a lot but we're already almost at 6k out of that

[08:22:42] so make sure that when you are putting in your donations that when you scroll down to the bottom

[08:22:46] you click add incentive and put that towards Fight Cynthia

[08:22:49] because you don't want to miss that.

[08:23:31] But you can also donate 90 or 9

[08:23:34] Or really anything

[08:23:37] We got people getting creative

[08:23:40] Like a huge donation getting us started on this Fight Cynthia

[08:26:59] My name is TTS4Life and I'm here to play White 2 for you guys

[08:27:02] And I know we had a little bit of an incentive

[08:27:04] To upgrade the challenge had a little bit of an incentive to upgrade the challenge category a little

[08:27:06] bit.

[08:27:07] So, did we meet it?

[08:27:10] We absolutely met it!

[08:27:11] We are playing Challenge Mode!

[08:27:13] Awesome!

[08:27:14] So I'm going to go ahead and set the challenge

[08:27:15] mode key here quick for us to get started. And we'll explain what this all

[08:27:19] means as we get started in the run. Yeah. All right, so challenge mode's

[08:27:25] set. This run is gonna start with a little bit of RNG manipulation here

[08:27:28] So I'm going to be setting my date and time to very specific hour

[08:27:33] And minute here here and I'm gonna let our wonderful host read a couple donations because

[08:27:41] this countdown is a little bit long but for those who like obnoxiously long

[08:27:44] count downs here we go, so 35

[08:27:47] 34 33

[08:27:50] We've got $10 from HeadBob

[08:27:52] who says best of luck on the run

[08:27:53] TTS from the back couch, so happy to finally see you

[08:27:56] on the GDQ main stage.

[08:27:58] You deserve it so much! May the odds be ever in your favor!

[08:28:02] We also have $10 from Zipotic,

[08:28:04] so happy to see you make it through the big stage TTS!

[08:28:06] It was fun and very impressive watching your grind of this game

[08:28:08] And I hope that two statics and Alisa's gym works well enough for us It was fun and very impressive watching your grind of this game,

[08:28:08] And I hope the two statics in Alisa's gym works well enough for you.

[08:28:12] Alright so time is coming up here in about...

[08:28:16] 5

[08:28:17] 4

[08:28:18] 3 2 1 five four three two one go

[08:28:26] so this is white 2 Challenge Mode.

[08:28:29] I'm joined by a wonderful couch.

[08:28:31] Do you guys want to introduce yourselves real quick?

[08:28:33] Sure, I'll start.

[08:28:34] My name is Tucker and I am the current world record holder

[08:28:36] for White 2 Challenge Mode.

[08:28:38] Oh big shot.

[08:28:43] My name is Ed Shee I've run a lot of Pokemon games over the years

[08:28:45] I've run this game as well

[08:28:47] If you recognize me

[08:28:49] I just ran Pokemon Diamond at AGDQ this year, so that might be why.

[08:28:52] I'm Swiftaloo.

[08:28:53] Um, I run some Pokemon games but more specifically people know me for Gen 5

[08:28:57] Uh, I ran Colosseum last year at SGQ 23

[08:29:01] Yeah So your first question right away with this category is what

[08:29:05] is a challenge mode? So, challenge mode is one of the two extra difficulties that

[08:29:11] were added exclusive to Black 2 White 2.

[08:29:13] They're the only official difficulty settings that were ever introduced in Pokémon.

[08:29:17] The process is kind of convoluted, you saw me do something

[08:29:21] in a menu and there was some mention of key settings and stuff like that.

[08:29:26] Basically, there was a whole thing with the infrared feature that later DS cartridges had where you could transfer keys between copies to unlock

[08:29:35] keys and stuff. You actually unlocked challenge mode by

[08:29:38] first beating Pokemon Black 2, then to run challenge mode on

[08:29:43] White 2, you didn't have to use the ir between two different cartridges

[08:29:44] To send the key over so you can then play challenge mode in

[08:29:47] White 2. It's really awesome and

[08:29:50] That's why nobody knows about this feature.

[08:29:52] Yeah, it is a bit of a convoluted process.

[08:29:54] I know as

[08:29:56] a kid when i played these games casually i was kind of the one that always liked to

[08:30:00] hold on to my save file after i beat the game and never really reset it so

[08:30:04] i never really got the opportunity to play this as a kid.

[08:30:07] But when I came back to this game as a speedrunner

[08:30:09] I've come to fall in love with this category

[08:30:11] It's definitely one of the more challenging ones

[08:30:14] as the name implies

[08:30:16] Do you guys want to go into a little bit

[08:30:17] as to why it is challenging and what makes challenge mode challenging

[08:30:22] yeah so in challenger mode uh quite a few things

[08:30:25] change mainly the levels of

[08:30:28] the opponents, pretty much all

[08:30:30] get at least one level boost

[08:30:32] and especially

[08:30:34] for the boss trainers

[08:30:36] they get an extra Pokemon their ivs which are kind of attached to your stats

[08:30:41] are all set to pretty much max or set to 31 or 30 out of 31 and um they also get new Pokemon, did I already mention that?

[08:30:50] The AI is also good as usual

[08:30:55] and they might have good items better moves and so on anything to make the run more challenging

[08:31:02] yeah and we'll go into detail in this specific changes when every fight as it

[08:31:05] shows up uh the interesting thing too is that you do unlock it at the end of game

[08:31:08] you can't just make your save file a challenge mode file and everything else that you do unlock it at the end of the game and you can't just make your save file a

[08:31:10] challenge mode file, everything else in the game is challenge mode or harder. But they didn't

[08:31:14] make it so if you reset actually everything in the game is harder even like the third

[08:31:18] gym leader or whatever. So it was built in mind to actually play from the beginning,

[08:31:22] even though it's very hard to do so.

[08:31:25] I imagine most people who enable challenge mode

[08:31:28] and their gameplay did not have it on before beating the game.

[08:31:31] No, especially since you needed

[08:31:34] the opposite cart from what we're playing to do that.

[08:31:37] Why are we playing on white too? Oh perfect!

[08:31:40] So there are two major reasons why we play on white 2 versus black 2.

[08:31:46] The first one is actually that we have a required fight.

[08:31:50] Heartbreaker Charles, I'm sure many people know him and are a fan of him.

[08:31:53] He is actually a triple battle in this game which is where you do three Pokemon at once on the

[08:31:57] field kind of similar to a double battle just adding an extra one but in Black 2

[08:32:01] he's actually a rotation battle.

[08:32:03] The AI acts really weird and very slow when it's a rotation battle

[08:32:07] where there is one Pokemon but you can switch freely between them without taking up a turn

[08:32:11] There is also an extra trainer you have to fight

[08:32:14] in an area later, which is

[08:32:16] Reversal Mountain. Y2 doesn't have that

[08:32:19] so that's pretty much

[08:32:20] the reason why we do it. If you really wanted to play back

[08:32:23] you could obviously but it is slower so... Yeah.

[08:32:25] You'll be running by two here today and we're seeing TTS

[08:32:27] just get a starter Teppig here

[08:32:29] as the main of choice for most

[08:32:31] of the early game part of this speedrun

[08:32:33] Teppig just fire pig

[08:32:36] guy. What's special about Tepig?

[08:32:40] Well, Tepig is definitely better

[08:32:42] than Oshuad and Snivy

[08:32:44] That really what's special about it, it's just better than the other one i mean

[08:32:47] serviceable until you know we can switch off of it which we will be doing about like 50 minutes into

[08:32:51] the run yeah yeah i mean it's special because it's the thirding type we got in a row this is very true and we're not even gonna

[08:32:59] get to the fire fighting the cool part of the big guy well big night's firefighting oh sure but

[08:33:03] we're not getting into the big big guy no either um so yeah so now it's time for the rival fight again normal kind of

[08:33:10] standard pokemon story stuff uh white 2 is a sequel to the original game so uh it isn't based

[08:33:15] in the same region but but everything's out of order

[08:33:18] in terms of locations you go to.

[08:33:20] And the story takes place two years after?

[08:33:22] Yes, two years after the events of Black and White 1.

[08:33:25] Still the normal Pokémon stuff, we're going to fight our rival.

[08:33:28] This is already Challenge No Take-E and 3rd effect

[08:33:29] Normally your rival's only level 5 here

[08:33:31] Already juiced up to level 6

[08:33:33] and still just loses instantly so...

[08:33:35] And as a result of

[08:33:37] the opponent's pokemon being higher level,

[08:33:39] you will gain more HP than in normal mode.

[08:33:41] Yeah and fun fact about that too

[08:33:43] there is also an easy mode if you're curious

[08:33:45] That's what you unlock when you beat White 2

[08:33:47] And that run is like more annoying because things get less experience.

[08:33:50] Yeah, it's actually harder.

[08:33:52] It turns out it's remarkably harder.

[08:33:54] Nobody has really done easy mode.

[08:33:56] No...

[08:33:59] Really quickly while TTS are just focusing on movement stuff we can do a couple donations.

[08:34:02] Yeah you got it! I just want to shout out that we are over 11k on that Fight Cynthia incentive. Y'all are doing so good!

[08:34:10] Wow! We just

[08:34:12] started.

[08:34:15] And I also

[08:34:16] just want to remind everyone, we've got a bid war right

[08:34:18] now for Drilbur's nickname.

[08:34:20] We're going to be seeing Drilbur coming up in a little bit

[08:34:23] Right now, Blahaj

[08:34:25] in the lead with

[08:34:27] $1,118.50

[08:34:29] But not too far behind at 861

[08:34:31] is my cat!

[08:34:32] Complete with exclamation point.

[08:34:34] Fun fact about the Blahaj, we actually can't put that A character in

[08:34:37] so if you want to bid war to outbid that

[08:34:40] so we have a legal name for the DS that'd be cool but also of lahaja school so honestly both great plans

[08:34:48] pokemon though yeah it is now yes okay we've also got a donation, $25 from The Shaded Master.

[08:34:56] Says I forgot to show it but I took 5 extra deaths so here's $25 for buying fruit gummies.

[08:35:01] Save the world! My final message, Bergy.

[08:35:06] Time for one more?

[08:35:07] Yeah, do it.

[08:35:08] $25 from Phoenix Melior says may Elisa be kind to you TTS.

[08:35:13] Also hey Switchaloo what's your favorite grass and ghost type pokemon

[08:35:22] thank you

[08:35:24] um so yeah some more movement stuff here.

[08:35:26] Again TTS has to focus here.

[08:35:27] This is part of the kind of RNG minute.

[08:35:29] Do you want to explain just how

[08:35:30] the RNG minute is working right now?

[08:35:31] Yeah, so basically TTS

[08:35:33] kinda set his time

[08:35:35] to a specific date and time because RNG mid-up is actually based on

[08:35:40] the time or at least hitting the seed. So TTS knows what he gets

[08:35:44] based on setting all that early on in the run.

[08:35:47] And now, because he has RNG Minutemate

[08:35:49] and hopefully carries it until

[08:35:52] he gets back to his Spurship for the first gen

[08:35:55] He will have no encounters that are unnecessary

[08:35:58] He'll encounter hopefully a dove and a Psyduck, he'll catch them so we can use him later

[08:36:05] And he has already made up the topic stats um to be pretty much max ivs and a good nature which is

[08:36:14] rash which boost your special attack and lowers their special defense which is not

[08:36:18] that needed um and that ends up being the best

[08:36:21] nature for you know the fights early on. Yeah, the minips in this game are like

[08:36:25] super... Like explaining everything about how the RNG meta works is

[08:36:28] super complicated and consuming time consuming, so

[08:36:30] we're not going to do that. But yeah, basically TTS

[08:36:32] just has to do very precise movement

[08:36:34] in inputs for this early game section.

[08:36:36] It doesn't have to hold it super long. It's not too bad.

[08:36:39] And then the other unique thing with Gen 5

[08:36:41] Minutes is that you actually have to make your own

[08:36:43] Manip for your own DS because

[08:36:45] your DS' Wi-Fi card

[08:36:47] influences the seeds you can hit.

[08:36:50] It's very annoying but it's kind of

[08:36:52] the cool thing about it too is every

[08:36:54] runs... everyone...

[08:36:55] Every runner's kind of runs and

[08:36:56] minips are different as a result

[08:36:57] there's some slight variations

[08:36:59] But it does add that kind of barrier

[08:37:00] to entry to running this specific category with these

[08:37:03] specific manips.

[08:37:04] Yeah, so if you were hoping to run the game using TTS's manips don't because

[08:37:09] it probably won't work.

[08:37:11] But the thing is Swiftaloo does have a video on how to make your own RNG minutes.

[08:37:14] So if you are curious, check that out.

[08:37:16] If you do see this running and you're like,

[08:37:17] This is really cool! I want to do this!

[08:37:18] It's not that hard.

[08:37:19] It's just time consuming.

[08:37:20] Or for the right price they'll sell my DS.

[08:37:23] There ya go!

[08:37:24] You could have a GDQ used Nintendo DS system with

[08:37:28] the capture card built in $499.99 right now or donate and

[08:37:36] we can...you can take a picture of it. It's beautiful dark blue, you definitely want it.

[08:37:38] It is electric blue as the DS is called.

[08:37:41] That was my childhood DS.

[08:37:45] But getting into another battle here, these battles are very straightforward

[08:37:47] nothing too scary

[08:37:49] again still holding their RNG nymph here

[08:37:51] but we'll be catching a Pidove pretty soon

[08:37:53] as Tekka was mentioning.

[08:37:59] Yeah, so this fight is pretty simple it's just a two hit

[08:38:03] We actually have Ember as opposed to normal mode because we are level 7

[08:38:05] Thanks for the rival experience

[08:38:05] yeah it actually matters already which is amazing

[08:38:08] yep and it's really good because uh that's a fire type move

[08:38:11] because there's a mechanic in this game called same type attack bonus

[08:38:14] when you share the same type as a move that you use,

[08:38:17] you get a 50% boost to it which means you're doing a lot more damage

[08:38:21] like Tepig is mostly a physical attacker because there's

[08:38:25] two different types of attacks, special attack and special... Physical attack.

[08:38:28] Tapping is more of a physical attacker, but

[08:38:30] because of the

[08:38:32] same type of deck bonus,

[08:38:34] it just does so much. Oh my god, that was really good

[08:38:36] crit. Crits are 1 in 16 by the way and do

[08:38:39] double damage in this gen. Double damage

[08:38:41] and they ignore any negative stat modifiers

[08:38:43] Yeah, that'll be relevant later

[08:38:45] So yeah funny movement here

[08:38:47] Again all part of the manip and if you're wondering is that critically it was manipulated no we're not manipulating battles can't

[08:38:51] really reasonably do it I think task an but shoot we already talked before this

[08:38:57] yeah here we go.

[08:39:00] You used up your crit luck on the previous one.

[08:39:02] You don't want to create this because you actually are trying

[08:39:04] to catch it.

[08:39:06] HMs are still required in this game.

[08:39:08] This is gen 5.

[08:39:11] This was before they removed them several gens later but the key thing is that there's very few HMs you actually need to use in the speedrun,

[08:39:12] it's-they calm down after gen 4

[08:39:15] so got the Padove no problem

[08:39:17] we need Padove for Fly and then we're also

[08:39:19] going to get a side up for Strength

[08:39:21] and Surf. And that's all you need for the run.

[08:39:23] You don't need Cut or any other ones.

[08:39:25] Yeah, and a Crit

[08:39:27] or a 1 in 16 High roll

[08:39:29] which we'll get into later kills after Dove.

[08:39:32] And luckily you got the catch. It's a 96% with that roll.

[08:39:36] And now it's time to fight another rival

[08:39:38] Which once again TPS will kind of steamroll

[08:39:41] Fun fact with this Ryle fight,

[08:39:43] I think the first one too, it has

[08:39:44] throw AI so

[08:39:46] if you just spam tail whip

[08:39:48] on it and deliberately not try to knock

[08:39:51] it out, it will also try and not knock you out

[08:39:53] because it wants you to just KO it for you.

[08:39:55] It's very funny.

[08:39:56] That's kind of common in a lot of Pokemon games

[08:39:57] but this is one where it's like

[08:39:59] very extreme like oh I will not do it.

[08:40:01] I didn't know that.

[08:40:07] I run this game and I didn't know that yeah i run this game and i didn't know that uh i know like let's go feature in eevee like they try not to but if they get so like critchy when they don't plan to yeah

[08:40:11] that's the case in gen 5 too because they don't disable the crits on this gen for the revel blades.

[08:40:15] And even in Let's Go sometimes they don't want to but sometimes they just will because you're taking too long or whatever.

[08:40:21] But yeah really quickly while more movement here we can do another donation too.

[08:40:25] I would love it! We've got $25.10 from Perpetual Sheep donating 251 for one of my favorite Pokémon, Backwards Chikorita.

[08:40:36] People are getting creative with these.

[08:40:39] We've got 2540 from Azamel

[08:40:42] with a Haiku.

[08:40:44] Unova Grass Sheep.

[08:40:49] Such prank. Such greatness, such fluff. Woonzakat my love."

[08:40:51] Oh!

[08:40:53] There it is!

[08:40:55] Did you look at that? Oh.

[08:41:01] This is like a Halloween scary one, it's kind of... I love it.

[08:41:02] It does have the glaring wheezing hat thing.

[08:41:04] Anyway we can do another donation.

[08:41:06] Sure thing, we've got $10 from Bungie to the Tree.

[08:41:10] So proud to get to watch you run white two again on a big stage.

[08:41:14] I think TTS stands for the top golf superstar. Yeah! TTS stands for the Top Golf Superstar.

[08:41:19] Yeah!

[08:41:20] TTS?

[08:41:22] Okay, we got the Psyduck.

[08:41:23] Awesome.

[08:41:24] This is like the big thing you want to make sure

[08:41:25] we've got them in it for.

[08:41:26] It's not guaranteed a catch again.

[08:41:27] The Battle Orange is not manipulated but yeah yeah TTS really good at top golf.

[08:41:29] He brought his like golf glove and his own clubs and stuff.

[08:41:32] And the golf hat?

[08:41:33] Yeah, the golf hat.

[08:41:35] Hard part.

[08:41:36] But this is a 72 or it's a 62?

[08:41:38] This is closer to 60.

[08:41:42] yeah probably 60s would be my thoughts yeah

[08:41:45] this is this can happen and this really like kills top level runs

[08:41:49] yeah these breakouts are very slow yeah yeah it's not enough

[08:41:52] just to have like perfect movement for 20 minutes this guy can also decide nah yeah reset yeah and

[08:41:57] as we said before we can't't really RNG manipulate battles.

[08:42:01] I actually found out recently from CasualPokePlayer

[08:42:04] that the touchscreen affects battle RNGs

[08:42:06] so that's really cool.

[08:42:08] Thanks CPP!

[08:42:09] Like touching the touch screen?

[08:42:10] Yes! Cool.

[08:42:11] Love that.

[08:42:13] Alright, so you want to explain spinners?

[08:42:15] Yeah, we just passed a spinner right there. Right now we still have RNG minutes

[08:42:19] So we kind of know what he is going to do

[08:42:21] As you can see there, he obviously

[08:42:23] knew that he was going to turn, which is

[08:42:24] pretty sick. But most

[08:42:27] spinners in this game, we don't have

[08:42:29] RNG minute for it. We're going to drop it pretty soon.

[08:42:31] But we have guaranteed methods

[08:42:33] to pass spinners just by using movement tech

[08:42:35] because we know that they are on like

[08:42:36] specific timing cycles

[08:42:39] so we know basically whenever

[08:42:41] they're gonna spin

[08:42:42] or whenever they have the opportunity

[08:42:43] to spend and we can safely check uh there's also spinner setups which um we can use

[08:42:49] based on you know entering an area and just like having knowing uh when um a spinner is loaded in

[08:42:56] and just having it consistent timing it's kind of the same thing really

[08:42:59] but uh yeah we'll see you in action pretty soon

[08:43:02] You don't want to hit a spinner because

[08:43:03] It's an optional trainer, you don't want to hit a spinner because it's an optional trainer you don't want

[08:43:05] to yeah that's time lost what's happening uh who is that that guy in the funny outfit earlier

[08:43:13] oh i didn't see him I don't know. He asked me if we ever heard of him but I have no idea who that is.

[08:43:25] Our characters shouldn't know... We'll figure it out.

[08:43:26] That sure won't be important!

[08:43:27] Our characters shouldn't know...

[08:43:28] Well, I guess they might know.

[08:43:29] Team Plasma from the news, right?

[08:43:30] I dunno.

[08:43:31] Depends how old they were two years ago.

[08:43:33] I don't know what age of these guys are.

[08:43:36] Doesn't really look like Team Plasma anyway.

[08:43:36] I think they were, like, 14?

[08:43:38] Yeah, yeah, they completely changed their outfits.

[08:43:40] Right. We're going to learn how to play Pokémon now.

[08:43:42] So we're gonna go to Trainer's School where

[08:43:45] we're gonna learn a couple things really quickly though tts is

[08:43:47] gonna pick up an x speed uh we'll explain this more in detail later but basically

[08:43:52] x items boost your stats if you've seen a pokemon shooter before you know them very well

[08:43:56] i have no idea how to play pokemon can someone tell me uh they're gonna tell you

[08:44:00] right now oh okay um i just know tts is going kind of fast so i might not be able to keep up

[08:44:05] with this yeah reading is hard but um i i think they're trying to teach us tight matchups.

[08:44:10] Yes this is like the hot moment as a whole set of two fights several gens earlier.

[08:44:16] We are going to fight with grass type and then water type.

[08:44:19] So you can use Ember on this one

[08:44:20] in super effective hit it

[08:44:21] And then use the ember on the water when he's like

[08:44:22] Oh no, it doesn't do that much damage

[08:44:24] So we're gonna tackle that one instead

[08:44:26] Something to note here though is

[08:44:27] We almost got into Blaze

[08:44:28] But we did not actually do it.

[08:44:30] What is Blaze?

[08:44:31] So Blaze is when your HP is below 1 third of your max HP.

[08:44:37] When it is you get a 50% boost to your fire type moves.

[08:44:42] On top of that same type attack bonus,

[08:44:44] so you're doing a lot of damage!

[08:44:47] It's really useful especially for some

[08:44:49] of the early game Pokemon runs

[08:44:50] where you're not getting free heals everywhere.

[08:44:53] But we're gonna be using it a few times in this run

[08:44:57] until we switch off with our poor Tep Pig here.

[08:44:59] Yeah, and of course it does have the danger

[08:45:01] of low HP means you will faint much

[08:45:03] easier and in challenge mode it is much scarier a lot of the time because things

[08:45:07] will just destroy you out of nowhere but a lot of times the risk of being blazed

[08:45:11] is kind of worth it.

[08:45:12] TTS will probably heal a little bit extra than he normally would, because obviously

[08:45:15] Marathon Run and I promise you TTS we'll be able to speak soon

[08:45:18] cause RNG Minute stuff is almost over.

[08:45:21] We all hear from him very soon.

[08:45:24] So we can do a couple more donations while Tethios wraps this up.

[08:45:27] We have so many donations, it's incredible!

[08:45:31] We are over $14000 on the way to that fight's in the incentive

[08:45:38] also my cat is creeping up and i think uh we don't have too much time left, so

[08:45:45] make sure to bid for your favorite Drillbur name.

[08:45:49] We've also...

[08:45:49] I don't know how the catch-and-runner feel about puns.

[08:45:52] I'm generally split on them.

[08:45:53] Pokemon! Okay, great!

[08:45:56] Well we've got $250 from Dumbpl who says how do you fit 10 Snorlaxes onto a bus?

[08:46:03] You Poke-mon.

[08:46:09] Ohhhh... You Pokemon. A devastating groan from the audience!

[08:46:13] Also we got $52 from

[08:46:15] Psychoper who says, here's $50 for Meowth.

[08:46:17] Just a cool cat.

[08:46:20] I agree.

[08:46:23] And $25 from Abilene says, got an idea watching GDQ

[08:46:26] and I had a light bulb-a-saur appear in my head.

[08:46:30] Is there a lightbulb Pokemon?

[08:46:32] Uh...there's a candle Pokemon!

[08:46:35] Oh yeah, the new one! There's a new one.

[08:46:39] Thank you audience.

[08:46:41] So yeah, the RNG miss is basically done now

[08:46:43] You can technically extend it

[08:46:45] TTS will not be doing that

[08:46:47] I'm just gonna wrap it up here and not worry it. Mostly because he has to save for the gym battle,

[08:46:49] because turns out our hometown is also

[08:46:51] the town of the first Gym Leader

[08:46:53] that's why we're coming back to it.

[08:46:55] This is Charon from the first game

[08:46:57] now has his own gyms all's all grown up. And like

[08:47:00] most gyms in this

[08:47:02] game, the gym sucks. The

[08:47:04] first two trainers are usually not

[08:47:06] terrifying but they can just cause time loss

[08:47:08] and you're very unlikely to die to them unless they are taking risks like Blaze or whatever.

[08:47:12] But the real issue is Charon but anything noteworthy with these trainer fights first?

[08:47:18] Not too significant but as you mentioned you mentioned the first gems are technically or usually the toughest because

[08:47:24] The level gap is not that big

[08:47:27] Because we're not steamrolling yet

[08:47:29] And it's a challenge with really even higher level too,

[08:47:31] so it's just amplified

[08:47:32] to even another

[08:47:33] level.

[08:47:33] And we're on an

[08:47:34] uneven platform

[08:47:34] because they all

[08:47:36] get an IV bump

[08:47:36] because as the

[08:47:39] game progresses

[08:47:40] usually significant trainers like Jim Le leaders and E4 kind of

[08:47:43] get IVs, bumps slowly throughout the game but in challenge mode

[08:47:50] they just start all at 30 at the start, which is a extremely bad situation for us

[08:47:57] because we already use RNG Minute to have our Tepig be as cracked

[08:48:01] as it basically can be and we're

[08:48:04] basically just on even platforming with some of the trainers. So you want to

[08:48:07] talk about IVs a little bit? Yeah, uh you kind of mentioned a little

[08:48:10] bit but yeah TLDR... It goes from 0 to 31.

[08:48:15] It's basically just a description of the ceiling

[08:48:17] of how your stats can go and how good they are in general

[08:48:20] so 31 special attack for example is the best possible one

[08:48:23] That doesn't mean that 0 to 31

[08:48:25] special attack at level 5, there's not that much difference

[08:48:27] but over the course of the game

[08:48:29] as you hit level 100, the gap is massive

[08:48:31] so yeah, our Tepe here

[08:48:33] has basically max IVs.

[08:48:35] Very very important to actually doing all damage but more importantly not dying which

[08:48:39] is the key point of challenge mode.

[08:48:43] There will be lots of safety saves.

[08:48:45] Yes yes especially in this early game. Yeah can you imagine doing that? um there will be lots of safety saves yes

[08:48:46] yes especially in this early game yeah can you imagine doing this without like

[08:48:48] a minute oh my god that would be an early game

[08:48:52] would just be brutal it's i cannot stress how bad these early

[08:48:55] games and leaders fights are but we're getting up to charon

[08:48:57] here uh sharon has an extra pokemon right what's the extra pokemon oh gosh yeah we're really

[08:49:05] quickly though we're learning defense curl.

[08:49:07] Very rare I know in a Pokemon student to actually learn

[08:49:09] a defensive move that doesn't do damage and also

[08:49:11] doesn't increase your attack which is wild but

[08:49:13] I assure you it's very necessary for this next fight

[08:49:15] That's a good crit

[08:49:17] But yeah,

[08:49:17] Charon's coming up.

[08:49:19] Key thing with this

[08:49:20] is we kind of just

[08:49:21] spam Ember on it.

[08:49:22] We just spam

[08:49:23] Ember and Prey.

[08:49:23] Spam Ember and Prey

[08:49:24] but we're going to start

[08:49:25] with the defense girl here

[08:49:26] or else we're going

[08:49:26] to get the healing up

[08:49:27] we're going to save

[08:49:28] I believe you also

[08:49:29] give a Horon Berry, right? Yeah, we do

[08:49:31] because we are kind of tight on

[08:49:33] healing especially mid-battle healing

[08:49:35] I do have one Freshwater given to me by

[08:49:37] Clyde at the start of the gym, which is actually really clutch because otherwise like a potion would just not cover our healing situation here at all.

[08:49:45] Yeah but the defense scroll's really nice cause it does lower their overall damage output but because you're like

[08:49:50] four to five shotting these things uh they're also getting a lot of hits in on you

[08:49:54] and again can lead to critical one in 16 chance to crit double damage if goes

[08:49:59] and he also goes completely through the defense as we kind of mentioned earlier with the stages.

[08:50:02] So crits are awful. Not to mention that Channel Send-Up, Piddub Blast

[08:50:07] and Piddub actually has the ability Superluck which doubles the crit chance from 1 in 16 to 1 in 8.

[08:50:12] Yeah, so most runs die to this Pidove.

[08:50:15] An overwhelming

[08:50:16] amount if you're alive at this point

[08:50:18] and your pace is okay.

[08:50:19] You make it through 20 minutes of perfect movement.

[08:50:22] You go through a 60% catch chance on the Psyduck and then

[08:50:25] you died a bit of them so...

[08:50:27] So that's a really good roll for Rat.

[08:50:29] This Rat is like an 84-ish percent 3 hit I think

[08:50:32] so it's really nice to get that first rolled 84-ish percent 3 hit, I think.

[08:50:33] So it's really nice to get that first roll to do a ton of damage

[08:50:36] there. It also helps

[08:50:37] minimize the amount of damage I take from Patrat

[08:50:39] because it just makes Lillipup a little

[08:50:41] bit safer but I can still just get owned on a win by a crit here.

[08:50:46] That's really good in our favor!

[08:50:49] The scary thing is we're going to be getting into Blaze pretty soon...

[08:50:52] Which you do want for the Badove, however...

[08:50:54] Okay.

[08:50:58] 10% by the way!

[08:51:00] I was about to mention that you like to see burns in this fight.

[08:51:03] Burns half of the opponent's physical attack damage and they all use

[08:51:06] physical attacks yeah that's pretty cool all right work up there is scary now chris definitely feel

[08:51:12] should not have said that don't't say anything! You're gonna

[08:51:16] jinx it.

[08:51:18] Normally you take like 6 damage

[08:51:20] and it'll do 18

[08:51:22] with a critical hit. Yeah, we'll explain how

[08:51:24] the amatiles work right after this fight.

[08:51:27] Yeah, that's what happens. This is again how most runs die and

[08:51:31] most runs that get past this point will probably die to the next gym leader

[08:51:35] and most runs that get to that point. We'll probably die to the wood on it for that, so...

[08:51:37] This is a brutal, awful category.

[08:51:40] Big shout-outs to Tucker and TTS

[08:51:42] for grinding it as hard as they have

[08:51:43] to get really good times in it

[08:51:45] because someone who has grinded it,

[08:51:46] it is uh it

[08:51:47] is awful it is a very taxing mentally speed run i really test

[08:51:51] your patience but the good news is once you get past like

[08:51:53] the really bad stuff that's pretty chill for us so what i don't know what

[08:51:56] you guys are talking about i've never been Challenge Road, and I'm always having a good time!

[08:52:01] It's like the name where two people

[08:52:03] are riding a bus and you're the happy sunshine.

[08:52:07] Also one crossroads from Yu-Gi-Oh! with the happy place and sad place.

[08:52:11] One side is normal mode, the other one is challenge mode.

[08:52:14] And then easy modes like further off on the side.

[08:52:17] Easy mode would be

[08:52:19] just like that underwater meme

[08:52:22] where it's, like, the skeleton under the water.

[08:52:25] Yeah, welcome to

[08:52:26] Memes 101 with your coach here.

[08:52:29] So this more Ember

[08:52:31] here, did not get

[08:52:33] as many crits or burns but now

[08:52:35] we're in Blaze and this HP is really low

[08:52:37] Yeah this is an instant heal for Pidov

[08:52:39] Yep so at least won't die to crit

[08:52:41] so that's cool.

[08:52:42] I'm going to just use

[08:52:42] a potion because

[08:52:43] I want to keep my

[08:52:44] health low

[08:52:44] for the next gems

[08:52:45] which is like

[08:52:46] basically right after

[08:52:47] this one

[08:52:47] which really sucks

[08:52:48] because it still

[08:52:49] puts you in

[08:52:49] interesting spots

[08:52:50] for Quick Attack to completely own you.

[08:52:52] So that's the normal Quick Attack damage you're seeing now,

[08:52:54] and now we're in Blaze which is exactly what she wants

[08:52:56] then you can two-shot from here and there we go!

[08:52:58] Alright, there we go.

[08:53:00] We'll take second try.

[08:53:02] Very nice, very nice.

[08:53:05] And we're learning a new move, Flame Charge.

[08:53:08] It is a 50 base power physical fire

[08:53:11] move that boosts speed every time they use it, and considering

[08:53:15] that Tepig is a physical attacker of Fire-type

[08:53:18] and is slow, it appreciates all that.

[08:53:21] Yeah you'll notice we completely abandoned defense curl

[08:53:24] immediately after fighting Jhin.

[08:53:28] You could get an X-Defend in the gym

[08:53:30] and use it on that fight to get the same effect,

[08:53:32] but you really need the X-Defend for later.

[08:53:34] We're not going to be doing that. And we also get Workup, which we'll talk

[08:53:36] about later, but we can do a few donations

[08:53:38] to celebrate our victory here.

[08:53:41] You got it. I'm gonna try and speedrun

[08:53:42] some of these. Yeah.

[08:53:44] We've got $59 from kazumi says gen 5 is my

[08:53:47] least played generation so we're looking forward to seeing it in action also three plus hours

[08:53:50] with potential dex donations sign me up this one goes to BestestBoyArcanine.

[08:53:58] $328 from TrapinchManiac,

[08:54:00] happy to be attending GDQ for the first time.

[08:54:02] 328 for my favorite Pokemon.

[08:54:03] Remember to use one hand to support your Trap which is big head at all times.

[08:54:07] $171 from Anonymous.

[08:54:08] Here's 171 for the cutest electric fish, Lantern.

[08:54:12] Super excited for the white two run.

[08:54:14] You should just cut me off whenever I'm going to keep going.

[08:54:16] You can keep going for a while, yeah.

[08:54:18] 197 from StarsEclipsed.

[08:54:21] Sorry that's $197 to be clear.

[08:54:23] Umbreon Pokédex donation

[08:54:25] for all those Pokémon prizes. Excited for the Pokémon Whiterun!

[08:54:29] So, a bit of a routing challenge that Ecchi kind of implied with his mentioning

[08:54:34] about the X Defender and how we can't really use it for this fight.

[08:54:37] We actually get access to X items extremely late in the game compared to a lot of other Pokémon runs.

[08:54:43] We can't buy X items until just before we get to the seventh gym,

[08:54:47] but at least the least throws us a bone

[08:54:48] and gives us one of every battle item,

[08:54:52] I guess is what they're generally called,

[08:54:53] that we can pick up kind of along the way,

[08:54:55] especially in the early game

[08:54:56] to kind of help out later.

[08:55:01] So we do pick up the X attack xp and ex defend because they're the three that are most useful for us in order to survive some of the more challenging

[08:55:06] fights well we'll mention where they get used as we go along, but it's just an interesting routing challenge that you have to deal with.

[08:55:13] And also is why it makes running a lot of alt mains which is a subcategory that we like to do for a lot of different Pokemon runs where

[08:55:22] we try to use different mains and what's just the fastest, just as kind

[08:55:25] of like a challenge speedrun kind of thing. It's also really messed because

[08:55:29] in Black & White 1 you're able to actually buy X items

[08:55:31] in, I think like the third town

[08:55:34] like New Vemma

[08:55:35] or no not New Vemma sorry, Necrin

[08:55:37] yeah they're still there

[08:55:40] you can buy them but that's post-game so you're not visiting

[08:55:44] that anytime soon.

[08:55:45] Yeah.

[08:55:46] And the messed up thing is like even though you can't get them out of the 7th gym we're

[08:55:50] just not gonna do it anyway because it's too slow. And we don't need it anyway, really.

[08:55:53] Right.

[08:55:54] We just barely don't need them.

[08:55:55] Yeah.

[08:55:56] If they were like right there maybe you could buy them.

[08:55:57] They are in a Pokemon Center probably but not really worth

[08:56:00] it so...

[08:56:01] Can I jump in real quick?

[08:56:02] Yes please. Go ahead. I just want to say our bid war for Drill of the Dead is really worth it so can i jump in real quick yes please

[08:56:03] i just want to say our big war for drillbert's nickname is down to one

[08:56:07] dollar between the top two choices 11 23

[08:56:11] for blahaj and 1122 for my cat.

[08:56:15] Amazing, how are we doing?

[08:56:17] How are we doing on Cynthia?

[08:56:19] We're doing amazing on Cynthia

[08:56:21] 16593 dollars

[08:56:23] out of that $40,000 goal. Almost halfway.

[08:56:25] Y'all are going to want to see that super boss

[08:56:27] of the game. We get to hear the

[08:56:28] meme piano music that everyone loves.

[08:56:31] And I know that estimate

[08:56:33] makes it look like a long run but it's going to fly by so make sure

[08:56:36] to mark those donations with the fights in the incentive for sure as you saw there we

[08:56:41] do have repels now so again more even more reason to not need their rng minute

[08:56:44] we can just get ourselves to skip all their random encounters and we will be

[08:56:47] doing that for the rest of the game and there is one nice change that uh yeah that yeah so in black

[08:56:54] and white two specifically they made the change where you could actually refresh your repel without going back into a menu.

[08:57:00] It is an amazing feature. I am so glad that they did this because it has been present in every other Pokemon game since.

[08:57:09] So now that we do have Repels,

[08:57:12] that does help us not have to deal with encounters because you can't really hold RNG-man up anymore

[08:57:13] except for in one case where an encounter can show up anyway.

[08:57:17] Yeah!

[08:57:19] I'm sure that won't happen now

[08:57:20] if you've mentioned it.

[08:57:22] So, now that we beat the first gym

[08:57:23] there's actually a mechanic specific to Gen 5

[08:57:25] known as Phenomenon

[08:57:27] so every 20 steps that you take

[08:57:28] there is a random RNG check to see if

[08:57:29] a phenomenon should spawn nearby and it happens quite a lot in this run

[08:57:33] And it can be kind of troll-y because sometimes they pop up right in front of you without

[08:57:37] a lot of opportunity to react to it.

[08:57:39] So Swift here has a wonderful whiteboard for us.

[08:57:42] Which I need to write Phenomenon, and I don't know how to spell it,

[08:57:45] so someone donate to tell me how to spell it!

[08:57:52] Do you want to mention the spinner setup thing while you're here? Yeah, so there's a spinner. You can barely see her next to the stairs there.

[08:57:55] Her name is Lynn. She is the worst spinner in the game by far.

[08:57:59] I made sure to enter this route on a specific tile so that i will have

[08:58:03] an easy opportunity to check unfortunately she turned, so i cannot get past her here

[08:58:09] there would be a way to if she was facing away just walk into her vision and then run out of it.

[08:58:14] And that will let me get by without her being seen but instead I kind of have to back it up doing what's called step-back

[08:58:19] which is basically I'm two steps away from her first tile of vision, and then I will wait for

[08:58:25] her to turn away to where I'm trying to pass her. And then I'll flash my menu real quick

[08:58:29] to see if she's spun back because between the time it takes to walk that one tile and just natural

[08:58:35] human reaction time i can kind of check to make sure that her cycle for what she's going to

[08:58:39] check the spin again is long enough for me to take that next walk tile into her vision,

[08:58:44] and then I can just get out of it without encountering her.

[08:58:47] It's a very easy trick. Anyone can do it at home

[08:58:49] and it works in both Gen 4 and Gen 5.

[08:58:51] Yeah, obviously we can't do the Gen 3 trick

[08:58:53] with just opening the bag

[08:58:54] to reset the spinner cycles. It doesn't work

[08:58:56] so you have to do that.

[08:58:59] We're entering... I don't remember

[08:59:00] the name of this town. Burbank?

[08:59:02] Burbank City! So this is the town of

[08:59:05] the second gym leader,

[08:59:06] Roxy, right there on

[08:59:06] the screen.

[08:59:07] She is the poison-type

[08:59:08] gym leader which as

[08:59:09] you all can probably

[08:59:10] assume that means it's

[08:59:11] awful so going into

[08:59:13] this and this gym sucks

[08:59:14] as well.

[08:59:16] And you saw TTS actually got some free Petri Berries, which is

[08:59:18] really clutch and immediately equipped them.

[08:59:20] Petri Berries immediately heal your poison if

[08:59:22] they are equipped and you get poisoned.

[08:59:24] That is really important for a gym where basically everything can poison you.

[08:59:27] You know, you got room on that whiteboard

[08:59:29] for a death counter too. That might be a good idea.

[08:59:31] Because there's going to be quite a few

[08:59:33] I would imagine. There's already one?

[08:59:35] Yeah, clearly we already have one. Yeah, good! We're already at one!

[08:59:36] Oh okay!

[08:59:37] Um so...

[08:59:38] I encourage everyone at home to do the same.

[08:59:40] For each phenomenon that appears

[08:59:41] I'm gonna donate $1 in five

[08:59:43] if I have to go into one

[08:59:46] or like if one just goes in front of me and I get screwed have to go into one. Or if, like,

[08:59:47] if one just,

[08:59:47] like,

[08:59:47] goes in front of me

[08:59:48] and I get screwed

[08:59:49] um

[08:59:49] and

[08:59:50] I will donate

[08:59:51] five bucks for every day

[08:59:52] so

[08:59:53] uh

[08:59:54] if anyone wants

[08:59:54] to match it at home

[08:59:55] feel free

[08:59:56] we'll keep track you know so

[08:59:58] you don't have to do it yourself

[09:00:01] So this is the second gym. It's a poison gym which is

[09:00:04] really nice that the game throws us a bone and gives us the petra berries

[09:00:07] because basically everything has poison gas,

[09:00:09] which is AD accurate. And if it does hit then we just get poisoned

[09:00:13] so the barrier's gonna help us trim having to use an antidote to heal or like buying

[09:00:17] antidotes or anything like that. You can get

[09:00:20] crit here because I'm using Blaze to try

[09:00:22] to, like... Why would you say it?

[09:00:24] Oh, okay, that's another one for the...

[09:00:26] That's another

[09:00:28] one for the board.

[09:00:30] If you're wondering why TDS saved

[09:00:32] for a random gym trainer, that's why!

[09:00:34] If you have money attached to DeathCat...

[09:00:36] I'm sorry.

[09:00:39] Can I jump in real quick on this reset?

[09:00:41] We have a $1,000 donation from Anonymous.

[09:00:47] Thank you so much.

[09:00:48] Also, my cat has jumped into the lead in that big war with 1224 blah lovers you know what to do

[09:00:56] look at this cat is this a cat you can decide but your donations.

[09:01:02] I think it's a cat.

[09:01:05] Is this more cat-like or less cat-like?

[09:01:06] Is that a cat?

[09:01:08] Yes, this is a cat.

[09:01:10] What are the defining features of a cat?

[09:01:12] Please let us know in the donations.

[09:01:14] Okay, didn't get crit that time!

[09:01:16] I almost said it so I'm glad I did.

[09:01:19] But yeah these coffins are so annoying.

[09:01:20] They're like so bulky.

[09:01:22] Without Blaze you can't two-shot them

[09:01:24] so they just give them more turns

[09:01:26] to poison you or troll you or just be

[09:01:28] annoying and if you get

[09:01:30] poisoned all the time you have to keep equipping the Petra Berry

[09:01:32] which is really slow and you don't want to heal too much here because you want to

[09:01:34] keep your Blaze, but by not healing

[09:01:36] too much, you're going to die to crits and it's just

[09:01:38] a whole thing. Yeah, high Blaze is

[09:01:40] pretty much the best HP that he can be at.

[09:01:42] So you can take a hit and then

[09:01:44] still deal damage. Yes, and again, Blaze is HP that you can be at. So if you can take a hit and then like still feel the same.

[09:01:46] And again Blaze is one-third HP or lower, so yeah if you're exactly

[09:01:49] one third that's usually like a perfect place to be except sometimes

[09:01:52] you level up out of Blaze when you don't want to, so there's specific thresholds in specific situations.

[09:01:59] Good dodge! Awesome.

[09:02:00] Yeah, Poison Gas Miss is actually really huge there because if I took damage here

[09:02:03] I'd have to kill for coughing because both of them combined will vote me if they choose

[09:02:07] to attack so these uh gym trainers have random ai so it's random what they do the coughing has

[09:02:13] both tackle assurance as attacking moves along with poison gas Gas, so it's two-thirds of what you get hit basically.

[09:02:18] And the Grimer only has Pound but also has Disable which is annoying when that happens and

[09:02:23] Poison Gas. And now we have to evolve! Which is something that doesn't normally happen in the end-game.

[09:02:28] Thanks to the extra Pokémon that Charon has and the higher level Pokémon in Challenge mode

[09:02:32] We get to Pignite, and Pignite's useful on Roxy

[09:02:36] Very nice to have this for the gym leader, for sure.

[09:02:39] I'm going to keep my hand as far away from the B button as possible because canceling evos is

[09:02:43] extremely bad in challenge mode. As Swift mentioned we're now fire fighting type which

[09:02:47] can be relevant depending on what types are hitting into you. You can learn Arm Thrust but

[09:02:50] it sucks so we're not going to learn it because I just don't

[09:02:52] need Fighting type like anything.

[09:02:54] We're gonna teach a move right away,

[09:02:56] which is the team that Sharon gave us his work of um it's a setup move

[09:03:00] that gives you uh plus one stage and physical attack

[09:03:03] and special attack um and it's gonna be kind of be like

[09:03:07] just kind of our carry for this fight because we're going to use it three times

[09:03:10] in the play and then like sweep everything yeah because of the like 30 iv problem that i mentioned

[09:03:15] um roxy's additional poke which is a grimer is extremely bulky so

[09:03:19] first to one shot it we have to be both plus 3

[09:03:21] and in Blaze

[09:03:23] to one shot it

[09:03:25] One-shotting everything here

[09:03:27] is very crucial

[09:03:29] because I have to go all the way down to Blaze,

[09:03:31] Roxy can just crit me in any of these three turns that I'm spamming work up here.

[09:03:35] So hopefully that doesn't happen.

[09:03:36] Why would you say that?

[09:03:39] You'd just like to add some new Death Counter!

[09:03:43] It's more money for charity!

[09:03:45] What's gonna be higher by the end? The phenomenon counter or

[09:03:47] the death counter?

[09:03:49] I sure hope it wouldn't

[09:03:51] be the death counter, but...

[09:03:52] Yeah so as long as you don't get crit here its pretty chill.

[09:03:57] I've got some clarity on the phenomenon spelling.

[09:04:01] $25 from Lexological, how to spell phenomenon?

[09:04:05] F-I-NOM-MIMEON.

[09:04:09] Oh!

[09:04:12] Finneonmon.

[09:04:17] Wait, hold on this is too small.

[09:04:21] It's like a Digimon name.

[09:04:23] Basically in this fight you kind of see like,

[09:04:24] kind of a structure of how most of the boss battles are going to

[09:04:27] work in this game where you're setting up on the first convenient

[09:04:31] one that you see and then you're sweeping through everything else

[09:04:34] maybe there's

[09:04:35] something that can give you a problem in the rest

[09:04:37] of the fight but generally this is how it's gonna go so

[09:04:41] the threat is usually what you set up on that was uh very not scary

[09:04:45] yeah i was all, that was alright.

[09:04:46] That was okay.

[09:04:47] Considering how often I get crit on the last turn of setup there

[09:04:49] I'll take not having it happen here.

[09:04:51] Did I do it right?

[09:04:54] Fin nom-nom.

[09:04:55] Yeah, sure!

[09:04:56] Something hasn't come up yet Phin-nom nom. Yeah, sure!

[09:04:59] Something that hasn't come up yet that we haven't explained but probably should explain it now is the way damage rolls work

[09:05:03] Did you want to talk about that?

[09:05:05] Yeah so damage rolls in this game range from like 1-16

[09:05:11] or because there's 16 damage rolls.

[09:05:13] It can be between 85% of your attack

[09:05:15] to 100% of your attack

[09:05:17] Basically think of it like rolling a 16-sided die

[09:05:19] I like to compare it to D&D die

[09:05:21] because if you roll a die

[09:05:23] You do more damage the higher roll it is

[09:05:25] and less damage the lower

[09:05:27] or you just miss out right but we'll ignore that one

[09:05:30] yeah so uh whenever we say something is like a four out of 16 range that just means there's

[09:05:36] a 25 chance to knock it out in one hit um that we also means we usually don't simplify the fractions

[09:05:42] from like four out of sixteen so one and four but we can sometimes do that it kind

[09:05:46] of just is random i'm sorry uh what's one out of 16?

[09:05:50] 6.25%.

[09:05:51] Alright, so just remember that. Write that down on the board and then you'll know if they ever see it.

[09:05:55] Oh wait! Why do you want me to write it down?

[09:05:58] And it's a phenomenon.

[09:06:00] But yeah this is the part of the game that's awesome. Right next to Phenom Nom.

[09:06:02] But yeah, this is the part of the game that's awesome! This part's really cool.

[09:06:03] It's actually like a seven minute donation block.

[09:06:05] Yeah.

[09:06:07] So we're gonna watch a sick movie here and then TTS is going to participate in a movie

[09:06:11] and act in the movie on his own so uh while that happens let's do some

[09:06:14] donations oh i would love to we have 156 dollars from

[09:06:19] dustin2121 time for some some Pokédex donations!

[09:06:39] smoothly. Here's $196

[09:06:41] for the best devolution and my favorite Pokemon, Espeon.

[09:06:45] Best of luck to the runner!

[09:06:47] Espeon is alright.

[09:06:50] Ohhhh...

[09:06:52] You got it on your pants and too...

[09:06:54] I know, in a speedrun game where it's used.

[09:06:56] Hating on it. That's wild.

[09:06:58] All right, so I hope you all brought

[09:07:00] your popcorn because we're going to be watching

[09:07:02] a major blockbuster hit here.

[09:07:06] Yeah, be sure to add this to your letterbox after.

[09:07:06] Yes.

[09:07:10] We have $11.12 from NotAClone.

[09:07:13] $11.12 for the combined DEX numbers for my and my partner's favorite pokemon gallade and vulcarona

[09:07:18] 8.90 from reanimator donating two of my favorite pokemon garchomp in honor

[09:07:23] of both the life-size guard shop pl that I should be getting any day, and

[09:07:26] Cynthia's ace. Let's get this Cynthia's

[09:07:28] fight in, shall we?

[09:07:31] And we are at

[09:07:32] $18,000

[09:07:34] $18,528. Excuse me almost halfway to that incentive and

[09:07:41] meanwhile has retaken first place by over 200 fans of Fans of My Cat,

[09:07:48] you had your time in the sun

[09:07:50] do you want to take it back? You've still got time.

[09:07:54] We got $35.90 from

[09:07:56] ArchdukeoftheHighBears $3.90 from Archduke of the High Bears!

[09:07:59] 359 for my favorite friendship, Pokemon Absol.

[09:08:02] It's not TDQ without Pokemon so this donation goes towards

[09:08:05] The Fight with Cynthia Incentive. Let's get more Pokemon! Alright Bryson incentives let's get more pokemon all right bryce and man let's go kind of a strange

[09:08:12] film i don't really get the plot here is there gonna be a sequel or something

[09:08:16] that was like a youtube sure there will be. Yeah.

[09:08:20] Oh, we got slow credits.

[09:08:22] Unlucky.

[09:08:24] There's three different kinds of credits that you can get.

[09:08:26] You can get the text scrolling on the right or left

[09:08:28] or you can get like a whole background to be grayed out with the text.

[09:08:31] It's faster if you get the one that's grayed out,

[09:08:33] so it's like a 1 in 3 to happen.

[09:08:35] We should explain why are we doing all this

[09:08:37] before we can leave the town?

[09:08:39] Why is it required?

[09:08:40] Oh, the lore.

[09:08:41] Where do I begin?

[09:08:43] So there's

[09:08:45] a sailor.

[09:08:47] How does that song go?

[09:08:52] No, so Roxy's dad is kind of going through like a midlife crisis and wants to become

[09:08:58] a movie star. So we kinda get shoehorned into his,

[09:09:02] um,

[09:09:02] attempts at becoming a famous movie star.

[09:09:04] And that was kind of his attempt and it kind

[09:09:07] of flopped actually.

[09:09:08] So,

[09:09:09] um,

[09:09:10] I thought that was a great movie.

[09:09:14] You're right. I'm sorry i mean it took some really creative directions like speed running the movie

[09:09:18] i think that was like less than a minute long movie yeah

[09:09:21] uh but it'll be a full classic later anyways yeah so the the guy that's next to us she's like

[09:09:26] a talent scout his name is stew dio yeah i got your studio right if you like your donation funds

[09:09:32] there you go yeah there's a there's there's also Sergio Pokemonski or something in the credits.

[09:09:39] We got some really creative names in the credits to kind of fill the spot.

[09:09:42] Anyway, so this guy to our bottom left here is like a talent scout that watched us beat Roxy and was really impressed.

[09:09:48] So he drug us here to see what PokéStar Studios is all about

[09:09:52] And then now we kind of have to shoot our own movies so I'm

[09:09:56] kinda nervous. I haven't been on like a film set before, so I'm really hoping

[09:10:01] that I don't screw this movie up.

[09:10:04] Follow the green screen you're fine.

[09:10:06] You're right but like I'm just a terrible actor.

[09:10:09] All right we'll see if uh...

[09:10:11] Pawniard?

[09:10:12] What do you think this is?

[09:10:13] Pawniard or Riolu?

[09:10:15] My favorite color is blue.

[09:10:16] New Mane? Blue and Green. But color is blue. New Mane?

[09:10:16] Blue Moon.

[09:10:17] There IS one.

[09:10:18] Oh wait, there it is!

[09:10:19] Oh no.

[09:10:21] Awwwwwww.

[09:10:22] You got crit!

[09:10:23] I got crit!

[09:10:24] That's so unlucky dude.

[09:10:26] That counts as a death by the way.

[09:10:27] No!

[09:10:30] So you can actually freeze in that fight with Ice Punch and it immediately ends it,

[09:10:35] It is really funny.

[09:10:36] Yeah I could see a different ending, it's like what in tarnation?

[09:10:38] What just happened?

[09:10:39] Isn't there something funny with this save?

[09:10:42] Yeah so if you don't have the save file present

[09:10:44] This save is only saving movie data

[09:10:46] So if you've never saved before at this point

[09:10:48] The save doesn't actually

[09:10:48] save any data.

[09:10:50] Yeah,

[09:10:50] if you turn your game off

[09:10:52] and on,

[09:10:52] it's just gone.

[09:10:53] Yeah.

[09:10:54] It's awesome.

[09:10:55] At least assuming

[09:10:55] you're in PB attempts.

[09:10:56] I'm not going to prove

[09:10:57] it for science here.

[09:10:58] I'm sure this happens to some, like, eight-year-old

[09:11:00] ten years ago. Probably.

[09:11:02] It would be very sad, but while we're

[09:11:04] running out of here, we're done now. Finally,

[09:11:06] it is over. We can do some more donations.

[09:11:09] Absolutely!

[09:11:11] We just got $200 from, tell me if you recognize this name,

[09:11:13] Thomas Patrick WX.

[09:11:15] Oh!

[09:11:17] So proud to see you on the main

[09:11:19] stage and you're crushing it! $200 for all the Ogre Pond cards we pulled during the Violet Run.

[09:11:25] And what's that? A special message from Ogre Pond?

[09:11:29] Thank you for saving me Twitch chat, my trainer and I have gone on so many adventures and battles with the SGDQ

[09:11:34] Hopefully, you can save a legendary Pokemon friend too! Perhaps Curem?

[09:11:38] Good luck TTS!

[09:11:40] Thank you TPAT lovePat. Love you.

[09:11:44] We can't actually catch it.

[09:11:46] We can save it!

[09:11:48] We can fight it!

[09:11:50] I mean... we'll technically save it!

[09:11:53] What I've learned from the violent run is that Save can mean a lot of things

[09:11:55] Yeah cause there's

[09:11:57] There's a thing that prevents you from using Pokeballs

[09:11:59] In that fight so sorry about

[09:12:01] That team pet. Banger alert, by the way.

[09:12:04] This is a new Team Plasma thing.

[09:12:05] Guffer Tech, it's awesome.

[09:12:06] These are new Team Plasma grunts.

[09:12:09] We're going to fight them a bunch in this game.

[09:12:10] It is...

[09:12:11] I was going to say it's less probably than Black and White 1, but it's probably not.

[09:12:15] It's probably like the same amount of grants that you get.

[09:12:17] I think it's way less actually.

[09:12:19] There is one area that I'm thinking of...

[09:12:21] Like the Pyramid and stuff?

[09:12:22] Yeah, Dragon Spiral Tower.

[09:12:23] Oh yeah, that's awful was how our Oh yeah that's awful.

[09:12:25] And they all suck and have like one Pokemon

[09:12:27] They also love to

[09:12:29] scream plasma

[09:12:31] They're just very patriotic about their evil

[09:12:33] doings I guess. this game is not as...

[09:12:36] it seems like

[09:12:38] not much different time-wise from Black and White 1 but

[09:12:40] the annoying sections are

[09:12:42] cut down and its more like kind of spread out

[09:12:44] balance type stuff especially on speed speed run i was gonna say

[09:12:47] that it's funny you said picture out because it's july 4th and also this game is based on america

[09:12:58] that's why they put us on this day. Thank goodness, honestly.

[09:13:00] Alright so another spinner set up here

[09:13:03] The spinner is not cooperating

[09:13:05] Lin...Lin is your name.

[09:13:08] Everybody hates Lin.

[09:13:10] Also there's the dire hit you told me about that I learned

[09:13:12] like two days ago. Yes, yes, there was a dire hit right there.

[09:13:14] I didn't know about that one.

[09:13:16] We're going to go look for this Team Plasma first, and we're gonna fight them as

[09:13:18] well. Just have the Patrat

[09:13:20] another one of the common Team Plasma

[09:13:23] Grunt Pokemon

[09:13:24] There's a very annoying evolution of it that

[09:13:27] we'll play later. Oh no, this is a purr line!

[09:13:31] This one has like sand attack and

[09:13:33] couple other annoying moves but

[09:13:35] yeah we're faster and we're in blaze so

[09:13:37] Yeah you just destroy Yo we're in the lead. So it's not a lot of fun. Yeah, so you just destroy him.

[09:13:40] Y'all,

[09:13:41] we have passed the 50% mark

[09:13:42] on that Fight Cynthia incentive

[09:13:43] that is $20,000

[09:13:45] for charity.

[09:13:49] And we're nowhere near halfway through this run,

[09:13:51] you guys are killing it on the nations.

[09:13:53] TPS was telling me before the run that if we get

[09:13:55] halfway through and hit the Cynthia incentive

[09:13:57] he'll do the fight with the Purrloin instead.

[09:13:59] What?! Definitely donate for that! but he did say that yeah that's it yeah

[09:14:05] gas lit on stage let me get let me get my photoshop out real quick and i'll

[09:14:09] get the proof.

[09:14:11] We got nice check on that one.

[09:14:13] One of three.

[09:14:14] Oh, that's a double battle by the way.

[09:14:16] Did we mention that?

[09:14:17] Yeah, I dumped Pidove and Psyduck in the box after being chained because

[09:14:20] otherwise it is a mandatory double. And because I only have Tepig in my party

[09:14:23] it is no

[09:14:25] longer required because

[09:14:26] they can't fight me with one. Yeah, very standard

[09:14:29] thing in like all the Pokemon games so

[09:14:30] most people are probably aware of it but I figured we should mention in case you were

[09:14:33] not aware. But now it's time! We're gonna

[09:14:35] go to New York City

[09:14:37] in just a moment. Yes, so

[09:14:39] you are running out of time for the

[09:14:41] Drillburn nickname incentive, so if you have been waiting to snipe a

[09:14:44] name uh you're gonna want to start thinking about it like right now yeah five minutes we're going

[09:14:49] to be catching it my cat 200 behind minutes? I think we got a race

[09:14:55] on our hands.

[09:14:56] Why are we catching drover?

[09:14:58] Why is Tepig not good enough?

[09:15:00] It's not that Tepig isn't bad

[09:15:03] but there is a couple reasons.

[09:15:05] One of the big ones is entry

[09:15:07] animations so Emboar

[09:15:09] is a very big Pokemon

[09:15:11] both in terms of size and weight

[09:15:13] and what that means is that when you send

[09:15:15] them out into battle, they basically cause like a

[09:15:19] shaking earth effect where a bunch of clouds

[09:15:21] spurt up underneath them when they land.

[09:15:24] That is actually really slow,

[09:15:27] so we would like to use a Pokemon that avoids doing that

[09:15:29] and it just so happens

[09:15:30] that Exeggert does not have

[09:15:31] that problem.

[09:15:32] It is light enough

[09:15:33] that it doesn't shake the earth

[09:15:35] when it comes out into battle

[09:15:36] so that helps save a lot of time or a lot of energy it doesn't like shake the earth when it comes out into battle

[09:15:37] so that helps save a lot of time over the course of the run

[09:15:40] also execute drills gets a very cracked move set

[09:15:44] um it's gonna learn both home cause and swords dance throughout its natural leg level up which

[09:15:49] makes it just really cracked for taking care of a lot of fights because if our attack is not good

[09:15:55] enough usually your sword stance takes care it, especially in the late game.

[09:15:58] So it's just really good mod to use.

[09:16:03] Yeah, I think most of it is probably just like one XPrill is just much better as a pokemon

[09:16:10] um it's self-sustainable with a better set of move that we'll see later

[09:16:15] and also the matchups for pigknight if you were to do the game with Emboar

[09:16:21] You'd run into problems with like Skyla, Marlin

[09:16:25] Chantal... these trainers are really hard for Pignite, where Exeggdrill doesn't

[09:16:31] really have too terrible of a time on anybody.

[09:16:35] Honestly it's just such a broken Pokemon. It's so good!

[09:16:38] This game is really hard, but Exadrill actually makes it look manageable.

[09:16:42] Also there's a lot of triple and double battles that we have to use

[09:16:45] so Excadrill gets some really cracked spread moves

[09:16:48] that we can use to take out multiple pokes at once

[09:16:50] without having to rely on our doubles partner, whoever it is.

[09:16:53] Yeah but its not using Black and White 1 because well we have access to Iron Head actually in this game

[09:16:59] It doesn't actually learn by level up naturally believe it or not and yeah it doesn't actually learn it by level up naturally, believe it or not.

[09:17:03] And yeah, it doesn't get any skill type moves like in Light 1 so...

[09:17:08] You also get it way too early to even try and main Jilbur because

[09:17:12] Jilbur's move set early on is just really bad

[09:17:14] yeah is bad for like ever uh you still like metal claw yeah you'll notice um earlier i went into

[09:17:22] a building right after getting the bike to pick with the next one.

[09:17:23] So, just earlier

[09:17:25] I went into a building right

[09:17:26] after getting the bike

[09:17:27] to pick up the EXP share

[09:17:28] it's really clutch that

[09:17:29] it's actually that easy

[09:17:30] to pick up the EXP

[09:17:31] share in this game because

[09:17:32] Drillbur on its own

[09:17:33] is not good enough to take care of the next gym leader, who's Berg. So even though we're gonna get Drill Bird before Berg

[09:17:35] it's mainly so that we can give it the EXP share

[09:17:37] to help it out

[09:17:39] and get as much experience as possible

[09:17:41] to get to execute drill as fast as possible

[09:17:43] while Pignite is still like the best thing to use especially versus bird

[09:17:47] i think that celia sewers here we're gonna be joined by our buddy hugh just to do one single

[09:17:53] double battle here uh you're gonna get...

[09:17:56] There's like other things you can get. You can have Zubat in this sewers if you didn't get your Padov earlier

[09:18:00] So there is a backup if you missed it for whatever reason

[09:18:03] But we are just going to do this fight now

[09:18:05] It's usually faster to die, right?

[09:18:07] Yeah it's faster to die because if you die here

[09:18:09] You don't get EXP and then

[09:18:11] By the time your done using

[09:18:13] Pignite it doesn't level up

[09:18:15] And try to learn rollout so that's actually a pretty decent chunk of time.

[09:18:17] Yeah, it's kind of investing

[09:18:19] a little bit of time loss

[09:18:21] to die in this fight

[09:18:23] and watch Skraggy get Moxie

[09:18:25] because Skraggy would be the one who kills us in in order to not learn rollout at

[09:18:27] the end of birds dying is not so incoquential because you get a free

[09:18:29] kill after this fight yeah and it's a true double

[09:18:32] you don't wipe it off all right and he gets it

[09:18:35] okay that's chill totally fine yeah honestly you don't die that often in this fight.

[09:18:39] Did I crit that? Yeah, you crit it so...

[09:18:41] That is the best fight.

[09:18:45] I was gonna say shoutouts to Pitof on that fight.

[09:18:47] Alright TTS?

[09:18:51] Yeah, I've seen some really wonky fights there

[09:18:53] where Q hits

[09:18:54] self-confusion like half a dozen times

[09:18:57] and I can't say that Q has backups including if you want to see the clip

[09:19:02] you can go to tts's channel at twitch.tv

[09:19:07] fall over this man you can see the clip there!

[09:19:10] Watch the clip.

[09:19:12] Yeah, Gen 5 Generant's a lot of funny clips,

[09:19:14] so definitely check it out.

[09:19:15] It is really funny.

[09:19:17] So TTS is going to set up

[09:19:18] the RNG unit for the Jailbird.

[09:19:19] We can do like one donation

[09:19:20] really quickly. Yes. you've got it, we got $200 from Austin $200 for my cat because a close race is a fun race.

[09:19:30] It's now a fun race. It's now a very close race.

[09:19:34] You can do one more.

[09:19:36] We also have $33 from

[09:19:38] CyJay, so great to see

[09:19:40] White2 on the GDQ stage! The Gen 5 games bring back so many good memories for me.

[09:19:43] $33 for number 330, Flygon!

[09:19:46] Good luck on the run TTS, let's hit this India battle.

[09:19:48] Thank you SyJay.

[09:19:50] Um, so yeah we're gonna need the drill room name in like 45 seconds or a minute, something like that.

[09:19:54] Last call.

[09:19:56] Last call. You've got to hurry right now. Get that information in ASAP.

[09:19:59] Do you want to explain what we are about to see here?

[09:20:01] Yeah. So basically, we're gonna try to spawn a drill

[09:20:05] but it's not a normal encounter it's actually a dust cloud encounter which is a type of phenomenon

[09:20:12] i'm going to hold five dollars aren't I? Crap!

[09:20:15] Man we should have thought about that more.

[09:20:18] I should've thought about that a little more.

[09:20:21] Basically it's stemming from Minet and Dust Claws are kind of spawned in based on your

[09:20:28] step count since loading in.

[09:20:32] And so is that's the drill bird they they're kind of manipulated on the frame that you encounter.

[09:20:39] So what's going on right now is we're weakening the Drill Bird with a Flame Charge and makes the catch rate go from like a 33% to 50%.

[09:20:47] And he actually got a very short dodge, so if you can catch it...

[09:20:51] Nice.

[09:20:52] All right.

[09:20:53] I'm pretty set there now.

[09:20:54] Yeah and he goes for probably Healist after this too.

[09:20:56] Really nice.

[09:20:58] Do I count the dust cloud phenomenon in encounter separately?

[09:21:03] Probably make it easy.

[09:21:05] So what's that nickname for us? With the last second

[09:21:08] snipe, it is MyCat!

[09:21:10] Okay, so what's your cat's name?

[09:21:13] Well,

[09:21:14] it's Seashell but that's not what they donated

[09:21:16] for him. Oh!

[09:21:18] I think it's all lowercase my space cat and then exclamation point.

[09:21:21] That's exactly right.

[09:21:23] M-Y...

[09:21:24] No no no yeah yeah.

[09:21:25] M-Y space C-A...T...

[09:21:28] Exclamation point.

[09:21:29] Exclamation point, just like that?

[09:21:31] Just like that!

[09:21:32] Alright.

[09:21:33] Awesome. Thank you all so much for donating to us.

[09:21:34] You're my cat!

[09:21:37] Our favorite feline friend Drilbur.

[09:21:41] Do you want to tell us about the Drilbur? What is it?

[09:21:44] Yeah, so this Drilbur is meant to be perfect in just about every way possible.

[09:21:48] So its level 19 which is the highest level that we could get

[09:21:50] in that area. It's also

[09:21:52] specifically to be a female because

[09:21:54] there are a couple of attract users that we're going to have to deal

[09:21:57] with. There's basically two

[09:21:59] female attract users and one male attract user that we have to put up with. And because the male one happens first and the other two female ones are a lot worse to deal with. We specifically made it for female.

[09:22:12] It also has the ability Sand Force, which boosts its ground type moves in a sandstorm

[09:22:18] but it's only relevant to one very specific fight and it's not a revolutionary

[09:22:24] reason why we have it. It also has an adamant nature which is plus attack

[09:22:29] minus special attack because we don't really use any special attacks like at all. We're going to be basically

[09:22:34] all physical and it's also got perfect IVs and everything except Special Attack, because

[09:22:39] we don't use Special Attack at all as I just said so said. Entering Berg's gym now.

[09:22:44] Berg is the bug-type guy

[09:22:46] and as per usual this gym sucks.

[09:22:49] Actually, the gym trainers are like

[09:22:50] pretty chill in this gym. The problem isn't really Berg.

[09:22:53] Berg also kills a lot of runs.

[09:22:55] Yeah, this is another one we're kind of getting into

[09:22:57] like the mid game here and the mid game

[09:22:59] is probably the most reset heavy part

[09:23:01] of it mainly because first off

[09:23:03] we just had a drover catch which is pretty hard as uh,

[09:23:05] we mentioned earlier. It's like a 50% chance to catch

[09:23:07] at about half health like I had there.

[09:23:09] Um, another problem is that

[09:23:11] Berg has a little bit of a

[09:23:13] quite a bit of a team shakeup actually um so normally gym leaders get just

[09:23:18] just a simple addition to their team in challenge mode but berg actually gets another member

[09:23:23] of his team swapped. So normal mode he usually has a swad loon uh double and levani

[09:23:28] but this time in challenge mode uh he actually gets a carablast and ditches

[09:23:33] swat loon for shell net so he's gonna have team four. He's going to actually lead Dwebble which is like

[09:23:39] worst case for us because um Dwebble has the move Rock Blast, which is a multi-hit move

[09:23:45] So basically that means it can hit randomly

[09:23:47] from two to five times.

[09:23:48] Each hit has a chance to crit me.

[09:23:51] You can already see where this is going.

[09:23:53] And each one does 10 damage

[09:23:55] with a 1 in 16 chance to do 12.

[09:23:57] So you can basically pretty easily

[09:23:58] divide my health by 10 to kind of see how

[09:24:01] many hits I can take before

[09:24:02] I die to rock blasts. It is

[09:24:05] very common to get 2 and 3, they're both

[09:24:06] split at 37.5% each for 75 percent to do either

[09:24:11] two or three hits it's most common for a 3-4 isn't it uh no three and four are both 12

[09:24:16] and a half the last 25 so you'll most commonly see 2 and 3

[09:24:20] and 3 and 4 are the more...

[09:24:22] You'll see, most commonly, 2 and 3

[09:24:24] then 4 and 5 are the rare ones

[09:24:28] Basically, Pignite has 75 HP and you can take 7 hits.

[09:24:36] So we're kind of relying on those lower rolls for our quest. for safety i am gonna equip my last oran berry that i have

[09:24:44] because it'll give me five so that just makes it very consistent to get past and we will save

[09:24:49] again yes because if we die here,

[09:24:52] We do wipe all the way back to dispersion

[09:24:54] That's a long haulback and we don't want to do that

[09:24:56] Yeah, the Dwebble also has Sturdy too right?

[09:24:58] Yes

[09:25:00] The Dwebble is sturdy so what we're're gonna do is work up and then use Flame Charge

[09:25:03] And then use two Embers to finish it off

[09:25:06] Flame Charge gives us that speed bump at least

[09:25:09] If you get to Blaze on the turn that we use our first Ember,

[09:25:12] We can basically one-shot it with Blaze.

[09:25:15] The thing is that Dwebble has the move Rock Polish

[09:25:18] And the AI likes to use speed raising or lowering moves

[09:25:21] To try and get the edge on you so we basically

[09:25:26] get a free turn of setup because it's going to use rock polish turn one and then

[09:25:31] that'll give us our ability to use work up because we need that

[09:25:37] to just boost our attack a little bit more.

[09:25:40] We're also going to make sure that we use two flame charges before Levani comes out.

[09:25:44] Levani comes out third, and we want to be faster than it

[09:25:46] because it's got some really punishing moves,

[09:25:48] including Grass Whistle, which can put us to sleep.

[09:25:50] And we don't really have any healing items

[09:25:52] to cure being asleep.

[09:25:55] So if you get put to sleep in a case like that, it's just not good but we basically

[09:25:59] just skip all of that by going to plus two speed before the gany comes out.

[09:26:05] Yeah even with the double lead and stuff you might think oh

[09:26:07] maybe you should see drillburn instead no droid is absolutely strong it's really bad rober has

[09:26:12] no shot in this gym even if it's uh as cracked as it is. Yeah, its time will come soon.

[09:26:17] Yes.

[09:26:19] So there are the rock balls.

[09:26:21] There we go. Okay not too bad.

[09:26:23] I still have my berry so

[09:26:25] I'm pretty much going to only die to a 5-hit and crit.

[09:26:30] That's fine. This is kind of awkward,

[09:26:32] So I'm just gonna super this.

[09:26:34] You won against Gen's Blaze there but...

[09:26:37] Yeah also being at 31 is a little awkward because i'm like 75 to win

[09:26:41] okay i would have died there if i didn't heal so and now we play the waiting game

[09:26:47] with the roles here

[09:26:49] the thing is if he attacked without blaze right now then it would put

[09:26:52] under 25 and then berg would just heal dude

[09:26:57] that's another one for the death counter that was a 12 and 1 half to live there, so that was just very unlucky.

[09:27:02] Yeah but those are just the games you have to play against Berg

[09:27:04] and it is very annoying, very awful

[09:27:06] And it's not even the worst gym leader

[09:27:08] No, it's not even the worst gym leader. No, it's not.

[09:27:12] Can I soften the blow with a quick donation?

[09:27:14] Of course.

[09:27:15] We've got $15 from Stu Dio.

[09:27:19] Stu Dio here and wow! I'm seeing a lot of good talent out there.

[09:27:22] Looking for some new stars to help me bring the time on my next movie down

[09:27:25] to 16 point XX seconds.

[09:27:32] You can keep going this is gonna be the same thing that we just saw.

[09:27:34] Great! We've got $28 from LavableMan,

[09:27:38] 28 for the best little guy, Sandslash.

[09:27:40] Shout-outs to Swiftaloo and Etchi to the best little guy, Sandslash. Shoutouts to Swiftaloo and Etchy

[09:27:42] two of the best Shrek 2

[09:27:44] players I've ever seen.

[09:27:46] Just don't let Etchy do the Hero Time.

[09:27:48] No that's Sparkle. That is Sparkle.

[09:27:51] Anyways.

[09:27:54] I'm good at Hero Time.

[09:27:56] So more shenanigans here.

[09:27:58] We are in Blaze but we've got to heal this because we will die.

[09:27:58] This isn't a much better situation than the last one.

[09:28:01] Yeah, Rock Flesh does boost the speed by two stages here

[09:28:04] so it's just going to outspeed us every time here

[09:28:06] and that's what you can do about it. It's not worth

[09:28:08] boosting more.

[09:28:11] Okay, dodge is cool.

[09:28:12] Alright, a dodge is nice.

[09:28:14] And a two-hit Okay, dodge is cool. Alright the dodge is nice.

[09:28:16] And a two hit.

[09:28:18] It's gonna be heal.

[09:28:20] Yeah it's too much to have.

[09:28:22] How does that heal range?

[09:28:25] I think Blaze will kill from here. Let's go!

[09:28:27] The boss monster has been defeated.

[09:28:29] And the rest of the fight is easy.

[09:28:31] Yeah, the Shelm that's actually

[09:28:33] cool because it just dies. Karabas also dies.

[09:28:36] And yeah, the Levani as long as you didn't lose all your buffs for some reason

[09:28:40] You will have one shot at it and that's not a big deal

[09:28:43] Level up even

[09:28:45] Keep in Blaze so totally fine.

[09:28:47] Alright go ahead with a couple more donations.

[09:28:49] I would love to! We have $25 from TrueMu12

[09:28:53] TTS for life best of luck from the back couch

[09:28:56] we have to fight one more optional

[09:28:57] for the memes and prolonging Pokemon stage time

[09:28:59] by fighting Cynthia

[09:29:01] when we were over $23000

[09:29:03] on our way to that 40k goal

[09:29:05] Let's keep it rolling we've got 44.20 from ace red and slayer

[09:29:13] who say it's been over decades since the cod zombie days

[09:29:16] it's amazing we've all been able to finally meet in person,

[09:29:19] but be careful as Ace might ambush you with his harmonica.

[09:29:23] Here's 2210 from each of us

[09:29:24] and on it for your five ex-world records.

[09:29:26] Good luck with the run.

[09:29:27] We hope to have us reunited for future gdqs of course

[09:29:30] of course thank you guys yeah so you're a pokemon speedrunner right now but that wasn't your origin

[09:29:35] story right yes it wasn't i played call Duty Zombies high rounds for a very long time.

[09:29:41] How many world records did you get in that?

[09:29:43] One in 2019.

[09:29:47] Held the highest round on the zombies map 5 and Ops 1 for about nine-ish months, 2018 or 2019.

[09:29:54] Somewhere around there. The timeline gets fuzzy.

[09:29:56] And how did those skills prepare you for your Pokémon speedrunning journey?

[09:29:59] Patience.

[09:30:01] That is a very important, that

[09:30:03] is actually the most important skill in Pokemon

[09:30:05] speedrunning so that

[09:30:07] makes a lot of sense but now we're leaving Cacelia City

[09:30:09] this strange blonde man is approaching us his name

[09:30:13] is question mark question or questionable he just wants to look at her pokemon it's kind of weird

[09:30:19] he's kind of mumbling some weird stuff he's's a little bit of a weirdo, his name is Coloresh.

[09:30:24] He's a yapper. We're gonna fight him in two seconds to teach him a lesson.

[09:30:29] Wait it's been 2 seconds and we haven't fought him!

[09:30:31] I'm sorry uh... speedrunner math,

[09:30:33] like the time

[09:30:33] doesn't work out

[09:30:34] with that one minute

[09:30:35] is like two seconds

[09:30:36] to a guy like me

[09:30:37] so...

[09:30:37] Oh,

[09:30:37] it's easy.

[09:30:39] You can get candies

[09:30:40] from this clown here

[09:30:41] if you talk

[09:30:42] to all the clowns

[09:30:42] but we actually do an any%,

[09:30:44] but we don't do it here because

[09:30:46] we get these noise anyway and it's also really slow

[09:30:48] to get it and like

[09:30:50] obviously extra level cool

[09:30:52] extra experience cool But the level doesn't make any real big difference Extra level, cool. Extra experience, cool.

[09:30:54] But the level doesn't make any real big difference for us.

[09:30:57] We're still going to hit specific level thresholds

[09:30:59] and move thresholds and evolution

[09:31:00] threshold at the right times anyway so it

[09:31:02] doesn't really matter.

[09:31:04] I worked on a safe route of challenge mode to make

[09:31:07] the next gym leader not awful and it literally involves like four minutes of time loss because

[09:31:11] you have so many extra fights just to get like rock slide for the next gym battle which is

[09:31:16] awful so yeah this

[09:31:18] is like the most

[09:31:19] you kind of just have to take the big risk on this run

[09:31:22] which makes it cool

[09:31:24] but also awful

[09:31:25] Yeah, so this is the only fight where we take care uh take advantage of

[09:31:29] sanforce like i said um we're just gonna be using mud slap which is a special attack move but it's

[09:31:33] just because it's the best for Magnemite.

[09:31:36] There's no point in using Dig here,

[09:31:37] because it does have Sturdy,

[09:31:38] and of course we'll have a Super Potion to heal it.

[09:31:41] So it's just best for us to double Mud Slap

[09:31:44] with just a little bit of special attack rvs that we have

[09:31:48] um and the uh boost from sanforce this uh

[09:31:51] just gonna guarantee two shots

[09:31:56] you notice with a couple more donations.

[09:31:59] Fantastic! We have $272 from DS and Jaycopter, who says here's $260 plus my wife and my favorite pokemon swampard

[09:32:10] and butterfree let's get to one million today

[09:32:15] i know that seems yeah that's right we can get there

[09:32:18] you can get there we are creeping up on that 750k and today is staffed so I believe in us.

[09:32:26] TTS was also saying if we get a million during this strong he will fight cynthia with only mudslaps

[09:32:33] i also heard that yeah with two hands tied behind my back

[09:32:38] yep so in that fight uh you might have noticed noticed we hit level 22 and learned Home Claws.

[09:32:43] Home Claw is a setup move and it boosts attack and accuracy by one stage

[09:32:47] So both of those are useful

[09:32:49] And we love to not rely on

[09:32:51] X items that don't exist.

[09:32:53] Banger alert!

[09:32:54] This is Join Avenue.

[09:32:56] It's not relevant in this feed, I don't know if you have

[09:32:58] to go through it.

[09:32:59] I like it!

[09:33:01] I never played Gen 5 as a kid so I miss all the multiplayer feature stuff.

[09:33:06] What is actually Join Avenue?

[09:33:07] So, Join Avenue...

[09:33:09] It's kind of like a cooperative thing.

[09:33:11] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[09:33:12] It's semi-cooperative but there's also

[09:33:12] like a bunch of NPCs.

[09:33:13] But can we play it

[09:33:14] now if I had

[09:33:15] like a DS?

[09:33:16] You could do

[09:33:17] some stuff with this.

[09:33:17] Or is it online only?

[09:33:18] No, it's not online.

[09:33:19] You can work on it

[09:33:21] as solo.

[09:33:22] Apparently you can get like masterfold or something

[09:33:24] you can't it's from the lottery um it's basically

[09:33:27] the equivalent of like festival plaza from gen 7 if you know that one

[09:33:31] yeah they're basically like cotton paste it into Gen 7.

[09:33:35] Interesting! It just has a better song too so that's cool.

[09:33:38] You can also change the floor.

[09:33:40] Really? To what?

[09:33:41] Yeah, to different patterns. I guess its the ceiling actually but its reflective

[09:33:44] But it's really ceiling, actually, but it's reflective But it's really cool. Like mine has a

[09:33:45] purple stars, I think

[09:33:47] It's time

[09:33:49] We're in Nimbasa City

[09:33:50] Oh man, we're in the gym

[09:33:52] For anyone who knows

[09:33:54] they're gonna get really excited about what's about to come up but

[09:33:58] rollercoaster yeah it's just roller coasters that's it there's no there's no other there's

[09:34:02] no other pain there's no misery i'm not going to be crying for the next, like, 10 minutes.

[09:34:05] I'm not going to press Y right now.

[09:34:10] So yeah, this is

[09:34:11] the Nimbasa gym.

[09:34:13] Going to fight some trainers, do some stuff.

[09:34:16] Maybe read some donations? Read some donations while we're doing this i'd love

[09:34:19] to we've got 35.80 from doodleby who says can you get pokedex shout outs for favorite

[09:34:25] underrated pokemon i have a huge soft spot

[09:34:27] for Chimicho,

[09:34:28] especially after the sidequest

[09:34:29] in RCS Legends

[09:34:30] where you help re-home one.

[09:34:32] What Mons do The Couch and The Runner

[09:34:33] think deserve more love?

[09:34:38] Exkidrill gets enough love

[09:34:40] Yeah

[09:34:41] I gotta think about this one

[09:34:42] Like an underrated Pokemon

[09:34:44] This guy

[09:34:45] Garbodor

[09:34:46] I love Garbodor

[09:34:46] Honestly

[09:34:47] Unironically cool guy.

[09:34:48] The G-Max form of it is super cute.

[09:34:51] Actually Trubish is probably better though but like people

[09:34:54] like Trubish.

[09:34:55] People hate Trubish as much

[09:34:56] but Garmador definitely deserves some more love.

[09:34:58] Esper. Esper? I love Esper. as much but garbodor definitely deserves some more esper i love espur it is a very

[09:35:02] i love espers face that's so funny yes uh do you want to explain what you just did by the way tts

[09:35:06] with a funny movement yeah so there's a little bit of shenanigans that you can do with

[09:35:11] these coasters to just make the cycles

[09:35:13] a little better. Don't ask me exactly how it works

[09:35:15] we just kind of like messed around

[09:35:17] a little bit with hitting the buttons at certain times

[09:35:19] and it just kind of works

[09:35:20] We used to actually flash the menu before that with hitting the buttons at certain times and it just kind of works.

[09:35:20] We used to actually like flash the menu before that,

[09:35:23] the coaster that one guy just came out of

[09:35:25] in order to kinda help reset the cycles a little bit

[09:35:27] but Minnow actually found a newer setup

[09:35:30] that saves a little bit of time just because

[09:35:32] we don't have to flash the menu anymore. Cool, so uh Swift what is static?

[09:35:37] Oh yeah I love static! So, static is an ability

[09:35:42] on some of the

[09:35:43] electric-type Pokemon

[09:35:44] we're going to be fighting.

[09:35:45] It's a 30% chance

[09:35:47] to paralyze you.

[09:35:48] Now, normally

[09:35:49] Drillbird cannot

[09:35:50] be paralyzed by stuff

[09:35:51] like Thunder Wave

[09:35:52] because it is a ground type and immune to electric type attacks.

[09:35:55] But that doesn't mean it's immune to being paralyzed,

[09:35:58] and paralysis just sucks.

[09:36:00] You are 25% to not be able to act during your turn, and your speed is just significantly lowered.

[09:36:05] I don't remember by how much in this game it was...

[09:36:07] It's quartered.

[09:36:08] Oh, it's quartered?

[09:36:09] That's so bad!

[09:36:10] It is really bad.

[09:36:11] Um, I always thought it was half until then I learned that there was a change,

[09:36:14] that is like changed to half.

[09:36:16] And I'm like oh I guess it wasn't always half.

[09:36:19] The issue is compounded with paralysis because our primary move

[09:36:23] is going to be dig because it's super effective, and that's a two-hit move.

[09:36:25] So we basically have to go through

[09:36:27] 2 paralysis checks

[09:36:29] to make sure that we can actually land the attack.

[09:36:31] As soon as they get paralyzed I'm gonna heal immediately

[09:36:33] because it's just not worth trying this go low. You're gonna heal it

[09:36:36] immediately and then immediately trigger static again

[09:36:38] Yep, yep. That's everything

[09:36:40] Basically everything you're gonna come in contact with

[09:36:42] is gonna have static. Like every

[09:36:43] trainer has like a static thing pretty much.

[09:36:46] With the exception of Blitzel and Zipstrika everything else is static.

[09:36:49] So that'll be like Flappy, Elekid, Amulga all have static.

[09:36:53] That's awesome.

[09:36:54] And for reference you can just not get paralyzed by it but you have to use a move that doesn't make contact and all of Drilbur's moves currently all make contact.

[09:37:01] Maybe that's why he went four minutes out of your way for Rock Slide.

[09:37:04] Yeah yeah yeah, Rock Slide does not make contact and also obliterates a mocha which is

[09:37:08] awesome however getting to level 29 is really hard something we haven't mentioned in this game too

[09:37:13] so uh this is the gen where they changed the exp scaling stuff

[09:37:16] uh so it's you can't it's harder to just grind your way

[09:37:18] to a level, because you don't get the same amount

[09:37:20] of experience no matter what.

[09:37:22] It changes based on your current level.

[09:37:24] So if you're lower-level, you'll get more experience from stuff.

[09:37:26] If you're higher-level, you'll get less,

[09:37:28] because it's kind of like

[09:37:29] balanced out in a way, I think

[09:37:31] mostly to help you catch up if you're low-level

[09:37:33] Pokemon or something. Yeah.

[09:37:35] But that just makes it really hard to do things

[09:37:37] that you could do another Pokemon speedrun sos. So, that was the fake gym.

[09:37:40] We're now in the real gym and this is where things

[09:37:42] get real. Yeah, so there's gonna be

[09:37:44] 1, 2, 3

[09:37:46] 4, 5

[09:37:48] 6, 7, 8 static chances throughout the remainder of this

[09:37:52] gym. So feel free to place your bets in chat at 30%. The average is I think

[09:37:57] around two-ish maybe slightly higher than two?

[09:37:59] Yeah, I think it's between 2 and 3.

[09:38:01] Yeah so place your bets in the chat right now

[09:38:03] or donations. Spam numbers

[09:38:05] in chat actually. Or you could just be cool

[09:38:07] and get no static like yesterday in practice

[09:38:09] Yeah that was interesting.

[09:38:14] This is a split that is such a big variance split in the run.

[09:38:16] You can save so much time here

[09:38:18] or you can barely win the fights

[09:38:21] but still your run is dead

[09:38:22] because you just lost so much time to statics.

[09:38:24] It's such a wide range of events that could happen in this

[09:38:27] and already get into static.

[09:38:30] Can we get a whoop?

[09:38:32] Taylor, I'll donate $10 for every static that will make it better.

[09:38:36] Perfect.

[09:38:38] So yeah, I immediately let the healet and this thing can also static us but fortunately

[09:38:41] isn't really a threat.

[09:38:43] We actually can slash it too. Oh no wait the next one we slashed it.

[09:38:46] So the Elekids don't have an attacking move that's not electric

[09:38:51] so they only sit there to spam light screen, which is really nice.

[09:38:54] So we could never have to take damage from them.

[09:38:56] Yeah that's why it swapped out

[09:38:58] because it can sometimes swap out if it just like has nothing to do with...

[09:39:01] Yeah the AI is smart enough to realize

[09:39:02] I can't do anything with this

[09:39:03] so I'm gonna pivot to something else

[09:39:05] yeah obviously that's like one of the only good ai quirks for like some of these worst trainers

[09:39:11] in terms of like the air ranking that fluffy was also at 11 and 16, so that was nice to get that range.

[09:39:19] Yeah.

[09:39:20] We can do a couple donations while we're getting statics here.

[09:39:23] Sure thing!

[09:39:25] We've got $74.30 from Oribot.

[09:39:28] Here's to Ribombee, the cutest Pokemon ever

[09:39:30] and also to unlocking the Cynthia fights.

[09:39:33] Woo!

[09:39:34] Woo!

[09:39:35] Let's go.

[09:39:37] We've got $250 from anonymous, no comment thank you so much.

[09:39:43] $10 from Jesse Allen, Cynthia's theme is the biggest spa. Let's go!

[09:39:49] So, we haven't

[09:39:50] talked about it yet but we should probably because

[09:39:52] it's coming up really quick.

[09:39:54] Elisa is by far the worst gym leader

[09:39:56] in Challenge.

[09:39:59] She's going to lead her Emolga, and in Challenge Mode

[09:40:01] her Emolga gets a slightly altered moveset

[09:40:03] In Normal Mode it usually just clicks

[09:40:05] Pursuit and Quick Attack against you

[09:40:07] because it can't use its signatureature Move Volt Switch at all.

[09:40:09] In Challenge Mode, it gets Aerial Ace, which

[09:40:11] deals a buttload of damage

[09:40:13] to us. So this is where our

[09:40:15] X-Defend is going to come into play, because we need

[09:40:17] to bulk ourselves up to be able to tank

[09:40:21] air lace a little bit better, because otherwise it does like over half with each one and

[09:40:24] it's just not a good time. On top of that after we take care of Emolga, Joltik is Alisa's new Pokemon.

[09:40:34] And Joltik is really bad because it has Energy Ball which does 75% of our total HP

[09:40:40] and we're never going to have the

[09:40:41] opportunity to be full because Emolga is just always

[09:40:43] faster and we can't use our XP here.

[09:40:45] So if I get

[09:40:47] paralyzed by Emolga on

[09:40:49] the turn that I take it out.

[09:40:51] I am absolutely screwed

[09:40:53] and have to basically die

[09:40:56] and revive

[09:40:57] and hope that

[09:40:58] I can set up in some way

[09:41:01] to win the fight again.

[09:41:02] It's just not a good time.

[09:41:05] Woo!

[09:41:07] With all the statics I've gotten already,

[09:41:09] surely it's not going to happen on Elisa.

[09:41:11] That's three?

[09:41:12] Sure.

[09:41:13] We're at three so far.

[09:41:15] So we are already slightly unlucky.

[09:41:17] I got you.

[09:41:18] You learned slash there right?

[09:41:19] Yes.

[09:41:20] We learned slash to slash that Elekid.

[09:41:22] In normal mode we dig it but, but... We need the DP

[09:41:24] for Digging Fist as well.

[09:41:27] Yeah, we need the PP for Joltik

[09:41:28] since the extra poke here.

[09:41:33] So because I got a Unproportionate Static,

[09:41:36] I'm a little lower health than I'd normally be.

[09:41:38] So I'm going to Super Potion up here.

[09:41:42] I'm going to Paraheal to get rid of that. yeah there's like so little things you can do to make this

[09:41:47] fight better uh there's a cherry bear you can get we have to go to the route west of

[09:41:52] this town and find an optional trainer to get the cherry berry there's also one

[09:41:56] of the east too oh yeah yeah there's one in like lost

[09:41:58] land forest which is to the west and then there's one on route five to the

[09:42:01] east yeah yeah everything's like super slow

[09:42:04] uh just don't get unlucky right yeah exactly everything is a significant enough detour

[09:42:09] where your only option is just get lucky and i will say tts only said like half the bad things

[09:42:13] about this fight but there's more that can and uh we'll see yeah mocha's not

[09:42:18] the only bad one yeah but it is this lead here this this this gym leader they the

[09:42:22] way they tweaked in travel just like so belt to destroy you trying to choose a

[09:42:26] title like a ground type or something.

[09:42:27] Like, Joel takes out the grass move is disgusting.

[09:42:30] Super fast and super dangerous so...

[09:42:32] Like mentioned I'm gonna start off with the X-Defend here

[09:42:34] to get some more favorable rolls.

[09:42:36] Again, crits just go through that so hopefully that doesn't happen and then we're gonna start

[09:42:39] hone-clausing. Get the attack and accuracy boosts. Pass

[09:42:43] the kill now. I wish I had an Ornberry for this.

[09:42:48] If I had an Ornberry,

[09:42:49] I could go just above Aerial Ace

[09:42:50] because I can bait Quick Attack

[09:42:52] on the heal turns and that would be really nice

[09:42:54] but I kind of have to wait

[09:42:55] for the rolls to happen in my favor.

[09:42:57] Between 12-30 HP you want to heal so that

[09:43:00] a aerial ace will fade out in a quick attack um the ai in this game prefers priority moves

[09:43:06] so if it sees a kill with a priority move every time, then it'll use that

[09:43:11] priority move. So using Quick Attack is

[09:43:13] pretty good because it's much weaker. Yeah, so if

[09:43:14] it crits you're like oh it's fine I don't die

[09:43:16] Yeah, so he'll get Quick Attack guaranteed

[09:43:18] right here. We'll see it right here gonna heal a full and hopefully he just one doesn't get

[09:43:24] crit and then two doesn't get static that's it all

[09:43:26] right that should be all the home claws right

[09:43:29] here we go!

[09:43:32] Alright, that's only half the battle.

[09:43:36] The worst Pokémon is still coming.

[09:43:39] So now we're able to kill this one without Paralyze.

[09:43:41] It's not going energy ball us totally

[09:43:42] fine no fear whatsoever just going to dig it okay crit dude epic crit.

[09:43:53] Fluffy coming out of nowhere.

[09:43:54] Another static.

[09:43:57] No, that's basically the only issue with this thing is that it can cause static on the next Pokemon if you really don't want...

[09:43:59] If you had gotten stacked by Emolga then you would have to set up a

[09:44:02] Flappy which has Takedown

[09:44:04] and it will do like 35. Which is half your HP. Alright here's Zebstrika

[09:44:08] the nightmare Pokemon! This thing is strong... Yeah it's faster than you

[09:44:12] and it stomps so it can flinch you 30% of the time.

[09:44:14] There is a clip where I take like 15 turns in this fight

[09:44:17] And then die at the end to a crit because it keeps flinching me every turn

[09:44:20] And I have to keep healing, so...

[09:44:22] Just need one turn! One turn to go through!

[09:44:24] Alright, ready he climbs.

[09:44:28] He's a leader!

[09:44:30] This is the nightmare scenario.

[09:44:33] At least we get to listen to the good Jim theme.

[09:44:37] Alright, there we go. I love flinched game.

[09:44:41] 30% by the way!

[09:44:44] Yeah, he said 30%. This game is affectionately referred to as the flinch game because there's so many opportunities where either you're trying to get a flinch or someone is trying to flinch you.

[09:44:53] So it's just a war of attrition in that regard but But we're four badges down, we're halfway there!

[09:44:57] We're almost done with the awful stuff

[09:44:59] There is still...the next fight's like fine

[09:45:01] and then after that

[09:45:03] there's one really bad fight

[09:45:05] I think this whole split is,

[09:45:07] this upcoming split

[09:45:08] is bad.

[09:45:09] It's just a con

[09:45:10] that I don't like it.

[09:45:11] Yeah,

[09:45:11] this whole section

[09:45:11] between the start

[09:45:13] of fighting Berg

[09:45:15] and the end

[09:45:15] of Clay's gym

[09:45:16] is just densely packed with just crap it's just like there's like

[09:45:21] two really bad fights and then it's mostly just waste to lose time yeah beyond that yeah once

[09:45:26] you're past play like it's a lot smoother sailing but there are just a couple of very fights here and there that

[09:45:31] Are not likely to go terribly bad but they can so you still kind of have to be aware of those

[09:45:36] Is the watch hog the first fight here?

[09:45:38] It's the second one.

[09:45:40] There is a pushover trainer.

[09:45:42] So we can do a victory donation here.

[09:45:44] Sure thing, in honor of that electric gym

[09:45:46] We've got some love for

[09:45:48] Electric type Pokemon $59.50 from Kieran We've got some love for electric-type Pokemon.

[09:45:50] $59.50 from Kieran,

[09:45:52] donating to the littlest of little guys Joltik.

[09:45:55] Yeah!

[09:45:57] Also got $26 from Meowkey.

[09:45:59] Have we started the Pokemon number tradition yet? Either way here's $26 from Meowkey. Have we started the Pokemon number tradition yet? Either way, here's $26 for my best buddy Raichu

[09:46:04] Love you all and here's to doing games done quick for Doctors Without Borders

[09:46:08] All right

[09:46:09] So this Trubbish is a joke where I'll just use Dig and one-shot it.

[09:46:12] But the one that comes out on the next Plasma fight is actually really bad.

[09:46:16] The Watchhog has an absurd moveset.

[09:46:20] It's so funny!

[09:46:21] So it has Super Fang, which

[09:46:23] cuts your current HP in half

[09:46:25] It has Hypnosis, which is 60%

[09:46:27] chance to put you to sleep

[09:46:29] And its third move is Confuse Ray, which is guaranteed

[09:46:31] to confuse you and then if you're confused, it's 50-50

[09:46:32] to hit yourself in confusion.

[09:46:34] So there is just a smorgasbord of ways

[09:46:36] that you can get absolutely owned by that thing.

[09:46:39] The worst scenario

[09:46:41] is hitting yourself with confusion and dying

[09:46:46] because then you have to send out like Pidove or Psyduck.

[09:46:52] And Vilbert absolutely needs the experience, so if we like have to do that whole revive thing

[09:46:55] We kind of have to wait for for Pidove to die or something, and the problem with that is because Super Fang only

[09:46:58] cuts your current HP in half, you

[09:47:00] can't wait for Pidove to faint is for it to hit itself with confusion,

[09:47:06] and then half the time it could just be asleep.

[09:47:09] So you're sitting there waiting

[09:47:10] for it to wake up to hit itself

[09:47:11] to die unless you're like one HP

[09:47:13] then super thankful.

[09:47:14] So we're gonna dig in and the ideal fight is just

[09:47:16] against superfan or head knows he's nice whoever came up with this a game freak

[09:47:23] who knows this is hilarious i mean it is funny because the watch hog can't actually kill

[09:47:28] you on its own yeah it's so silly but that was that was okay enough totally fine unless

[09:47:33] unless you're at one and super thing it's yeah that's the only way it can kill you so that was more than acceptable

[09:47:40] for a watch out fight is always super fine as you come out of dig but if you're if you're on

[09:47:45] cold pace you can always um rock slide it and go for the flinch

[09:47:48] And then use dig to finish it off because you get the 30%

[09:47:51] But you also introduce the risk of missing

[09:47:53] Because rock slide is 90% accurate

[09:47:55] Unfortunately, rock slide is a move we're going to carry for the rest of

[09:47:58] the game because it's just really good especially in double situations.

[09:48:02] But the problem with that is it's only 90 accurate and every time

[09:48:05] we need to use it, it's usually really bad if we miss it.

[09:48:11] Alright before we can get into the next really scary fight, we have a little bit of detour here

[09:48:13] the only thing you need is fly

[09:48:15] which we're not going to be able to use for a bit but

[09:48:17] actually you can use it right away. Okay well we're not going to use it. Well we're not going to use it.

[09:48:20] In Gen 5, you can use HMs as soon

[09:48:22] as you get them.

[09:48:24] But we are gonna learn about Hidden Grottos

[09:48:26] which is not really gonna be relevant

[09:48:28] for this category but for a normal mode

[09:48:32] you can manipulate the hidden grotto

[09:48:35] at the beginning of the game

[09:48:35] to contain a rare candy after Drift FieldeCity

[09:48:39] and that actually helps you, just early on in the skipping

[09:48:43] using Drillbert

[09:48:45] in the Berg fight

[09:48:46] so it actually becomes

[09:48:47] a lot more similar

[09:48:48] to the Shonley Crow fight

[09:48:49] where you just use Pignite.

[09:48:50] It also skips the whole running around and talking to the Shandling Robe fight where you just use Pignite. It also skips the whole

[09:48:51] running around and talking to the clowns thing, because

[09:48:53] 80% does go run around and talk to all

[09:48:56] the clowns, because it's worth it to get that

[09:48:58] candy.

[09:49:00] Yeah, but not this category. It's just...

[09:49:02] In this category it's just not worth it.

[09:49:04] If that went over your head, that's fine.

[09:49:06] So goodbye to the Sanchino there.

[09:49:08] I'm gonna not touch it and then we're going to go fight Charles!

[09:49:11] Which is what you were talking about earlier.

[09:49:12] Yes it was! This is the fan favorite of so many runners and

[09:49:17] It's also a very big run killer.

[09:49:20] I know we just went through like 17 run killers but this one's another

[09:49:23] one so it's awesome yeah it's a big run killer at least in any percent um he has

[09:49:28] a uh arkin sigilif and tutuga and our kid not really that big of a deal

[09:49:35] you usually one shot it. The Sigilyph

[09:49:37] is honestly one of the most scary things

[09:49:39] because it can just confuse you

[09:49:41] and hit you with so much. And you could miss

[09:49:43] it too cause you get to rock slide with it. Yup! You could just create

[09:49:45] you with Air Cutter...

[09:49:47] The Tier 2 good doesn't seem to be always the

[09:49:49] smartest in what I've seen.

[09:49:51] Yeah this is a Turbo Battle

[09:49:53] We did just learn Rock Slide which is a spread move

[09:49:56] which was cool.

[09:49:57] The positioning here is very precise for a reason.

[09:50:01] It's so for Trinca can't just kill our Drillbert early on

[09:50:04] because of the Aqua Gem move. you basically want to ko these two and then

[09:50:09] we're gonna kill these two and then deal with it after totally fine

[09:50:20] and ideally sigilif doesn't psych him confuse you

[09:50:28] why didn't she say anything we were so close to being in the clear. Why would you say that?

[09:50:30] Thresh is like 10% confused

[09:50:32] Yeah, so Tristina can't attack here

[09:50:34] just has to keep wide guarding

[09:50:36] because we're too far apart basically. Please hit through.

[09:50:39] Oh, okay.

[09:50:40] I'm still confused which is a problem.

[09:50:42] You can snap out next turn. I could.

[09:50:45] Keyword is good. We're going to see the auto center here

[09:50:47] which is always fun because it also messes up your Pokemon placement in the party.

[09:50:50] Because I moved from slot 1 to slot 2.

[09:50:52] I have killed so many runs to healing the wrong Pokemon that it eats your turn when you do that in this game.

[09:50:58] It's kinda turn when you do that in this game. Still scary.

[09:51:00] Please.

[09:51:08] Okay, totally fine. That was a unique challenge Okay.

[09:51:11] Totally fine.

[09:51:13] That was a unique Charles fight for sure.

[09:51:15] I was not worried.

[09:51:18] That's a new one on the list of unique Charles fights I've ever had, so...

[09:51:20] Isn't this game so fun?

[09:51:20] It's wonderful.

[09:51:21] With new and unique situations.

[09:51:23] I told you guys,

[09:51:24] This was a challenging mode.

[09:51:27] What's our death count around like three already?

[09:51:29] We got three we got three.

[09:51:31] Yeah.

[09:51:32] Three okay.

[09:51:32] Well four plus the theater one too so.

[09:51:34] Oh!

[09:51:35] Wait yeah that was a phenomenon.

[09:51:37] Oh!

[09:51:38] I just saw one.

[09:51:39] Yeah on this bridge you get little like

[09:51:40] there's little shadows they can be well I don't know what they give me

[09:51:49] You're lucky I caught that we all would have missed

[09:51:52] There is significant for the six-round hangman you're lucky i caught that we all would have missed that but they're significant

[09:51:53] for the six-round hangman uh so we're reviving everybody here why

[09:51:56] are we arriving everybody um so it's for safety we're also going to just need

[09:52:00] them in general for the next fight because

[09:52:02] we are gonna have to do a manual

[09:52:04] swap at some point,

[09:52:05] so just taking care of him now helps us

[09:52:08] have safety for the next

[09:52:10] really bad fight. I know you're probably sick

[09:52:12] of hearing this is a really bad fight, but...

[09:52:14] Yeah.

[09:52:15] I mean, that's the run.

[09:52:16] Yeah.

[09:52:16] That's kind of the run.

[09:52:18] So what's coming up next is Rude.

[09:52:20] Rude has Herdier that hits like a truck because of level boost.

[09:52:23] We're kind of about the same level that we would be

[09:52:25] in normal mode actually, so

[09:52:27] we are at a more unfair advantage

[09:52:29] and challenge mode here compared to normal mode

[09:52:31] So we're just kinda

[09:52:33] dealing with trying not to get absolutely honed.

[09:52:37] The other problem too is that the Swoobat that Rude sends up next

[09:52:44] Is the attract user that we have to deal with as a female drilber.

[09:52:47] So, we could just get stun locked by love because it's 50-50 if you hit through love.

[09:52:51] Attract is I believe 100% accurate right? Yes. Yeah.

[09:52:55] It also has air cutter which which is a high crit move.

[09:52:56] It has imprison, which is nice because it basically does nothing.

[09:53:00] But the problem on top of all that is that Swoogadda's at 10 and 16 range

[09:53:04] that we cannot improve because it has the ability unaware which ignores any stat changes so

[09:53:09] even though we got hit with intimidate we're not going to bother to like use home clause together

[09:53:13] and unaware will be relevant later yeah that was a great flinch by

[09:53:16] the way because um any damage from her ear just makes

[09:53:20] swoo vet not much sketchier so what you're saying is rude

[09:53:24] it's rude that's right rude is smooth i'm gonna be rude and jump in real quick to tell you that we've passed 26 000

[09:53:32] dollars on the fight cynthia incentive

[09:53:36] and like i said i know it feels like a long run but make sure

[09:53:39] let's keep that momentum going.

[09:53:40] Let's get that 40k

[09:53:41] for charity.

[09:53:43] Yes, please help us out.

[09:53:45] All right,

[09:53:45] so that was

[09:53:45] an interesting Swoobat

[09:53:47] but I didn't get

[09:53:48] severely punished anyway

[09:53:49] so we take those.

[09:53:51] And now we're finally in Excadrill!

[09:53:53] Things will level up a little bit

[09:53:55] but not quite yet.

[09:53:57] We're Steel-type along with Ground-type

[09:53:59] which is very relevant because we're about to learn a steel move.

[09:54:01] We're going to be getting Iron Head

[09:54:03] with the red shards I picked up in the put one center

[09:54:05] way back in Mimbasa.

[09:54:06] Iron Head, as Swift kind of mentioned,

[09:54:08] it's an 80 power move.

[09:54:10] You can also flinch.

[09:54:12] Very strong,

[09:54:14] very useful for a lot of things in the run.

[09:54:16] It's also important to note that Steel-type is one of the best offensive types

[09:54:17] in pretty much the entire series, but especially

[09:54:20] this game before it was nerfed literally the next gen after yeah because

[09:54:23] of uh in the next game dark yeah um because it started or it lost its resistance to darvin

[09:54:32] yeah so It lost its resistance to Darkened Ghost. Yeah, that's what it is right?

[09:54:34] So it still resists 12 out of 17 types in this game.

[09:54:38] It's really good!

[09:54:40] It does make fighting type moves scary but there are that many you have to deal with in the run.

[09:54:44] We can get a free 0 here if we're going to say no because we don't need it.

[09:54:46] It doesn't do anything for us.

[09:54:48] And then we are going to go learn Iron Head and enter Clayge Gym so we can do some donations now.

[09:55:01] You got it we've got a 925 dollar donation from mousehold family of three oh next donation for 925 Mousehole.

[09:55:04] We've been watching for 10 years, and this is the first GDQ we could share with our new baby.

[09:55:10] Thanks for a fantastic Pokémon run.

[09:55:13] Thank you for that fantastic donation. I love

[09:55:16] Massville. They're probably beautiful, even for the three or

[09:55:20] the four. Four? I like the four. It's more balanced. Yeah.

[09:55:24] We have $282 from Ryan.

[09:55:27] Here is 282 for my favorite Pokemon, Gardevoir.

[09:55:29] Let's see that Cynthia fight!

[09:55:31] How much harder is the special boss in challenge mode?

[09:55:35] Um... it actually doesn't change too much.

[09:55:36] You're supposed to say it's really,

[09:55:37] really hard.

[09:55:38] I'm sorry.

[09:55:39] It's very difficult and I'm very lucky

[09:55:40] to survive it.

[09:55:42] And you can nut slap on it too so...

[09:55:45] Yeah, and purloin! I don't know if we have more yeah

[09:55:53] it's actually assisting at mudslide oh

[09:55:58] i'm pretty sure

[09:55:59] the strategy does not work

[09:56:00] because it's a token case,

[09:56:01] right?

[09:56:01] Oh.

[09:56:03] Anyway.

[09:56:04] We'll assist gravity as well.

[09:56:05] Okay, yeah, yeah.

[09:56:06] Struggle.

[09:56:08] If we're desperate, yes. Struggle! If we're desperate, yes.

[09:56:10] All right, so we're getting into Clay's gym here.

[09:56:11] Clay is another one that's kind of interesting.

[09:56:15] So as we mentioned a little bit earlier, I believe,

[09:56:18] the AI, if it can, will try to get the edge I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

[09:56:20] AS WE MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT

[09:56:22] EARLIER, AI IF IT CAN WILL TRY

[09:56:24] TO GET THE EDGE ON YOU IN

[09:56:26] REGARD TO SPEED BY EITHER

[09:56:28] TRYING TO DROP YOUR SPEED OR RAISE ITS SPEED AS MUCH AS IT until it's faster. So Klay's signature move is Bulldoze, so everyone

[09:56:31] on Klay's team is basically just going to spam

[09:56:33] it and it's really bad for us because

[09:56:34] ground is super effective to us and it's basically

[09:56:36] going to do over half from most

[09:56:39] of Klay's folks which is really bad.

[09:56:41] So the ideal plan here

[09:56:43] is to

[09:56:44] do a quick swap in and out of

[09:56:47] Excadrill against Clay's

[09:56:49] lead, which is a Crocoroc because it has Intimid intimidate so we'll do that to get our attack back

[09:56:53] because using a own clause is just not feasible because we'll just take a bulldoze and our speed

[09:56:58] will get dropped so it's not ideal to do that.. So we can one shot at plus zero.

[09:57:03] So that's what it will do to take care of Krakarok.

[09:57:05] Um,

[09:57:05] but then,

[09:57:06] um,

[09:57:06] we'll be setting up on Onyx that comes out next.

[09:57:10] So,

[09:57:10] uh,

[09:57:11] we're setting up an Onyx because Clay will send out a

[09:57:14] Sandslash next.

[09:57:16] And for Sandslash to be as simple as possible,

[09:57:18] you have to beat the plus three attack which means we have to

[09:57:21] use three Home Claws.

[09:57:23] If we don't and really get plus two,

[09:57:26] it's a nine in 16 range

[09:57:27] And if we only get to plus one,

[09:57:28] It's bad.

[09:57:29] So Onyx has both Rock Polish and Bulldoze

[09:57:33] so we're praying for Rock Polish because

[09:57:34] once it raises its speed, it will no longer

[09:57:36] consider Bulldoze to drop our speed.

[09:57:39] And then it'll default to using

[09:57:41] Rock Slide, which isn't a big deal

[09:57:42] because Rock Slide does nothing to us, but because it's faster we do have

[09:57:45] the deal with the flinch chance.

[09:57:46] I should've saved for this, it's fine.

[09:57:50] But on top of that

[09:57:53] the problem is that Onix

[09:57:56] is basically a ticking time bomb because its last

[09:57:58] move is explosion. So it can basically

[09:58:00] just blow up at any moment, so we're trying

[09:58:02] to set up the plus three as quickly as possible before

[09:58:04] it blows up.

[09:58:06] Yeah, that's basically the strategy is just try to set up on the Onix

[09:58:09] and hopefully it explodes on this turn you're ready to start attacking

[09:58:12] And no sooner!

[09:58:15] You pretty much don't expect explosion until like you get it because that's kind of how the air works

[09:58:20] Like you know, it doesn't explode at all

[09:58:23] Alright so we're gonna see that one shot with the iron head right now

[09:58:30] Prokhorov going going down no problem again extra drill just gets such a big buff from evolving though you just kind of one-shot things like this and he has

[09:58:33] really strong moves here comes the onyx gonna set up on it. I'll go for the best.

[09:58:39] Nice, that cuts off all those.

[09:58:43] Okay two so we at least have the range

[09:58:47] So that's actually perfect because we get the plus three now.

[09:58:50] If I got flinched that turn and then it blew up

[09:58:52] We'd be going for the Ranger

[09:58:53] And that's just awful

[09:58:55] That's actually like the perfect clay fight right there

[09:58:57] Yeah, that's a great rare explosion

[09:59:00] That's like... yeah

[09:59:02] That's perfect.

[09:59:04] Yeah, that's very cloth-worthy because that's huge luck on our side

[09:59:06] I feel like the only way it can get better is

[09:59:08] you're at plus 2 and your're forced to go for the range on

[09:59:09] say such, then you actually get it. Right. This is perfectly fine.

[09:59:13] I was never worried. Didn't need a save.

[09:59:16] You didn't even need to save. You knew all this was going to happen before

[09:59:19] it happened. Exactly.

[09:59:21] Very nice, very nice.

[09:59:23] Getting more levels here and getting really strong pretty fast

[09:59:26] And then we're off to the Pokémon World Tournament

[09:59:30] That would be so fun to read donations for.

[09:59:34] I'll put a couple victory ones on our way there now.

[09:59:36] Sure thing, we just saw them

[09:59:38] it's $28 from

[09:59:40] Armadillo64 for my favorite Pokemon, Sandslash the OG Exedrill.

[09:59:46] Can you dig it?

[09:59:50] We also have $39 from Remy Jatz, donating $39 for my favorite.

[09:59:54] I'm going to try and do this.

[10:00:00] I love it!

[10:00:01] Banger.

[10:00:07] And $25 from Lori D. Bunnikins,

[10:00:10] somewhat late contribution of my $5 per unintended death

[10:00:12] from Celeste64.

[10:00:15] It was a blast being on the couch for that run, best of luck GTS4Life on repping

[10:00:17] the Best Pokemon Generation!

[10:00:19] Thank you!

[10:00:21] Yeah if you disagree on Best Pokemon Generation

[10:00:23] please donate and let us know why your preferred disagree if game's done quick slash

[10:00:26] don't exactly that's your hot tape gen forehead stand up now is your time everyone who's annoying

[10:00:33] about heart gold silver please we need you.

[10:00:39] We need you Tucker!

[10:00:45] So yeah going into Pokemon World Tournament they even abbreviate it here.

[10:00:48] Isn't that fun?

[10:00:50] Yeah.

[10:00:52] This is a facility that really shines in the post-game.

[10:00:55] We're kind of forced to go here as part of the story.

[10:00:57] This area used to be cold storage in Black White 1, but

[10:00:59] they bulldozed it over and turned

[10:01:01] it into PWT for more tourism

[10:01:03] Capitalism, you know? Yeah, right. Capitalism

[10:01:05] at its finest. So the whole gimmick here is that you enter

[10:01:09] into eight person um bracketed tournaments uh and you try to go to the top uh and win obviously

[10:01:15] uh we don't actually get any exp while we're participating in this facility um

[10:01:21] we're doing a very specific cup known as the drift failed cups that's the one that's required for us

[10:01:24] to beat the uh or they like to continue the story but later, you do get access to fight all of the gym leaders of previous generations

[10:01:34] here as well, as well as the champions once you've cleared all the gym leaders enough

[10:01:38] times. There's a whole like process there yeah

[10:01:41] there's a run that's done it's like 10 hours long it's very impressive to

[10:01:45] watch because there's a lot of decision making that goes into the battling

[10:01:47] It's a very fun category if you're like super like nerdy into battling and stuff yeah

[10:01:51] it's just a cool piece of post-game content too in particular but mid run it sucks yeah not getting

[10:01:57] experience and doing all these fights. So we have made it past

[10:02:01] the worst of the run, generally

[10:02:03] in terms of like the reset points

[10:02:05] a lot of the hardest fights are over

[10:02:07] but it is still very easy to

[10:02:09] lose time, Do not worry.

[10:02:12] Yeah, there are a couple of fights that can

[10:02:14] still give us quite the headache

[10:02:16] but DWT here is not too

[10:02:18] big of a deal in normal mode duo

[10:02:20] is 13 and 16 range but since we're doing challenge mode

[10:02:22] in the extra XP that we have it does make this guaranteed so

[10:02:25] that's not a big problem for us. The rest of the PWT

[10:02:28] is pretty simple, but there is one little gimmick here

[10:02:31] and that's that abilities are actually randomized.

[10:02:34] So if Pokemon can have two different

[10:02:35] abilities, it will actually be random which one it has.

[10:02:38] In

[10:02:38] my experience with running this category,

[10:02:41] one tends to be a little more preferable than the other not 100

[10:02:45] on the rng at the top of my head that like causes it or whatever because it's a whole process you

[10:02:50] don't want to get into but um basically the two their abilities that are notable here is

[10:02:56] um charon's stalin uh by the way we're always gonna fight the same three on battles here they

[10:03:01] just kind of fill in random yes so random embassies are always going to lose very sad right sorry clarissa yeah

[10:03:07] we're always gonna fight rival charon and chorus in that order um so poor um sharon's eye has

[10:03:13] um stoutland as a lead and stalling can either have intimidate or xan rush i believe

[10:03:16] is the other ability that um stat ones can have so we're hoping for no intimidate because otherwise

[10:03:23] we'll have to use a uh home clause to get back the neutral attack.

[10:03:27] And then we just have 1 and 8 range here, up from 1 and 16 in normal mode

[10:03:31] to one-shot it so hopefully we get that.

[10:03:34] I always like good luck!

[10:03:37] Yeah, I also like not losing time.

[10:03:38] Yeah, right.

[10:03:40] How about some donations for some good luck?

[10:03:42] I would love that.

[10:03:44] We've got $5 from Spoink who says,

[10:03:46] Spoink!

[10:03:47] Spoink. Oh, did you look at that? No intimidate.

[10:03:50] Perfect donation. The spoink worked.

[10:03:52] Thanks, spoink.

[10:03:54] $19 from YodKV

[10:03:55] 19 for the local Synodex member of the best

[10:03:59] electric cat Luxray. At least they don't have static. Hi

[10:04:03] from the back couch.

[10:04:07] $10 from Nerd Mom Rars.

[10:04:08] Someone said favorite underappreciated Pokemon?

[10:04:11] I give you Toxel.

[10:04:13] He's just a baby having a tantrum.

[10:04:15] I love him.

[10:04:16] My heart, like, sank for half a second because

[10:04:18] I didn't realize Minccino could have Cheat Charm and I just watched her proc.

[10:04:21] It's so weird how it can proc when it's dying.

[10:04:24] Just never relevant.

[10:04:26] Yeah, that is one of the lesser known ability quirks.

[10:04:30] There is one of the lesser known ability quirks.

[10:04:33] There's one more in this next fight. Colrus has a Magneton that can either have Magna Pull which is the one we want or Sturdy

[10:04:38] Which you know...you can't kill it in one hit. As a Gen 5

[10:04:41] It acts like a focus dash so

[10:04:43] Yeah this is the gen where Sturdy is actually good now

[10:04:45] Very unfortunate because there's a lot of

[10:04:47] Sturdy in this run

[10:04:49] The problem as well is that Magneton has Mirror Shot which has a small chance

[10:04:52] of dropping our accuracy and it also

[10:04:54] has Supersonic which may confuse us.

[10:04:57] I really like in Pokemon 3Dones where

[10:04:58] before every fight we just list everything

[10:05:00] that can go wrong

[10:05:03] and of course like it all happened yeah we just expect it

[10:05:08] yeah this category is great i think he's awesome

[10:05:12] i have died to this fight before.

[10:05:13] Really?

[10:05:14] Yes,

[10:05:14] I've died to Chorus.

[10:05:16] You have to restart the whole thing all over again

[10:05:18] and die.

[10:05:18] Really you're not supposed to continue

[10:05:21] if your confusion just switch the sack.

[10:05:24] You can't save between these fights either.

[10:05:26] The risk is just too strong

[10:05:27] if you're confused.

[10:05:29] You can swap.

[10:05:30] You can risk for it.

[10:05:30] I've done both.

[10:05:32] It depends on pace.

[10:05:34] Yeah, it depends on pace and bias.

[10:05:36] Now we got the sturdy...

[10:05:37] Oh!

[10:05:38] The dodge though!

[10:05:39] Dodge is...

[10:05:40] The telephonic has been...

[10:05:41] 55% accuracy.

[10:05:42] Very very missable.

[10:05:45] So yeah the rest are easy just iron head this and big thing.

[10:05:49] Yeah so I guess victory PwT donation. Yeah.

[10:06:03] All right, so that's PWT done.

[10:06:07] There is one important thing to note.

[10:06:10] So you get a battle point after you beat PWT

[10:06:13] You give all points in this game by beating PWT

[10:06:16] And any percent... We actually actually buy a carbos with it in challenge mode you don't

[10:06:19] buy anything because apparently you don't need it and i didn't know that yeah it's just because

[10:06:24] you're getting more levels so you outspeed the one thing that you need, the

[10:06:28] Carbos.

[10:06:30] Yeah, you can get some cool stuff

[10:06:32] with BP in this area.

[10:06:34] Fortunately they're cheapskates, so you get one

[10:06:36] for winning a tournament or whatever, who cares?

[10:06:39] Like a lot of the competitive moves

[10:06:41] you can get here for... They're pretty stark

[10:06:43] amounts, so you can't really like

[10:06:45] justify getting any of them in

[10:06:47] like a speedrun context. So bp that you got can only get you one vitamin

[10:06:51] yes sorry i owe you a victory donation 35 40 cents from terra facta give me your donation for Yes, go for it. $3540 from Terafecta.

[10:07:00] Leaving a donation for Banat, my favorite creepy marionette.

[10:07:03] Ghost types? We'd love to know.

[10:07:07] Maybe do some more honestly than this part.

[10:07:09] Sure thing! We've got... We can do some more, honestly. In this part.

[10:07:10] Sure thing!

[10:07:11] We've got $39.90 from Spec Mantle Made

[10:07:17] donating for my favorite little guy Bidoof

[10:07:20] Please insert bidoof noise here I'm donating for my favorite little guy Bidoof.

[10:07:20] Please insert Bidoof noise here.

[10:07:23] I don't remember what Bidoof sounds like.

[10:07:27] I heard someone do it in the crowd.

[10:07:32] Yeah, something like that. I can do it in the crowd. That's my best impression of what I heard from here.

[10:07:40] We also have $100 from Blue Magma.

[10:07:44] It's no tentacruel, but I guess that feels pretty cool too.

[10:07:48] Thanks for showing off a great run today TTS and everyone involved.

[10:07:52] Thank you, Blue.

[10:07:53] Alright we are surrounded here what's going on?

[10:07:55] Uh yeah so

[10:07:57] We saw a plasma grunt

[10:07:59] kind of run around

[10:08:01] And Hugh got really upset about it.

[10:08:03] I guess we never really explained like Hugh's lore,

[10:08:06] It's about as deep as a slightly benchy paper

[10:08:09] but basically he had a purloin stolen from him

[10:08:13] as kid or at least his sister's purloin stolen from him as a kid, or at least his sister's

[10:08:15] purloin I guess. And that fletch is actually kind of clutch.

[10:08:19] But so he's on like a mission to get that

[10:08:23] purloin back. So anytime he sees a plasma grant

[10:08:25] He basically just swells up into a fit of range and wants to

[10:08:31] beeline it straight towards the plasma grant

[10:08:33] And give as many answers as you can about it.

[10:08:36] He's very anime for sure yeah he doesn't know this but we actually stole the port line for uh

[10:08:41] Cynthia so that if there's months left I was trying to think of how to tie that in, but you beat me too.

[10:08:49] Poor Trubbish.

[10:08:50] Trubbish time is over.

[10:08:51] Trubbish time is over.

[10:08:52] That grunt right before the fight is like, hey it's Trubbish time and every time I read

[10:08:56] it, I just think of Morbius.

[10:08:58] How it's like, yeah we did.

[10:08:59] Morbin time. It's Trubbin time.

[10:09:01] Yeah, it's Trubbin time. So now we got some

[10:09:03] true double battles here. Yes.

[10:09:05] So the general rule for the true doubles, because there's going to be a lot

[10:09:08] especially in the latter half of the game here,

[10:09:11] Q is a horrible doubles partner.

[10:09:13] Everyone else is just fine.

[10:09:16] The idea here is that I'm on a rock Slide, hope I don't miss the Bull Bat range or just don't miss it at all.

[10:09:22] And then Stella should clear up what's left on the field assuming you get the range of Bull Bats.

[10:09:34] Ooh, ring right there. you get the range on fullbacks oh i'm going there missing quite a few ranges that's stoutland

[10:09:40] it's not a big deal uh i'm gonna Ironhand this Slifer here. That's time loss, because you're not in danger.

[10:09:43] Yeah if we can take care of both on the first turn then me and Salah can still take care of both on the second turn so we kind of stay at a turn by not having to wait for the croc rock

[10:09:51] to come out separate here yeah that's that's the general theme with a lot of these fights

[10:09:58] especially the treatle battles where it's just like

[10:10:00] you can't really lose them uh but you can lose time

[10:10:03] yes not too bad though but yeah we're gonna we're gonna be on this we're gonna

[10:10:07] get off this plasma ship plasma frigate is that what it's called

[10:10:09] yeah forget pretty soon here and then we'll come back to it later.

[10:10:13] I'll see you guys.

[10:10:14] He was talking about the Furloin and Aspersia.

[10:10:16] Is it Aspersia or Asper...

[10:10:17] Aspersia, I say as...

[10:10:18] I call it Aspersia.

[10:10:19] Okay.

[10:10:20] I've heard Aspertia before and I feel like that's wrong.

[10:10:23] None of that.

[10:10:25] So yeah, more poison types!

[10:10:27] Yay!

[10:10:29] Yeah so I'm gonna Ironhand the Koffing.

[10:10:31] I'm just going to pray that Duat does the right thing in a water pulses of the coffin um the coughing can blow up

[10:10:34] with self-destruct or just attack i would like to take as little damage as possible

[10:10:40] throughout these fights why would you click revenge thank you what world would

[10:10:45] you click your back two poison types in front of me uh yeah like water pulse just

[10:10:51] objectively does more i think it won't mind this one for g oh my goodness range but if the walkout higg would have done

[10:10:57] double damage so think about that i think he did get hit he did it did double damage

[10:11:02] that is the double damage. Alright, so that's why it's pretty chill.

[10:11:05] It's a little awkward you're on your way out

[10:11:07] but doesn't matter. Put time... lose time

[10:11:09] That's still weird

[10:11:11] because a quirk

[10:11:13] about the AI is that it's never guaranteed to do something unless

[10:11:17] It's guaranteed to kill so that applies to both you and any fight

[10:11:21] That is dealing with me if I am below what whatever move. I'm scared, like does at minimum.

[10:11:28] Then I am guaranteed to get that move.

[10:11:30] I can't be in a range to die and know

[10:11:35] that's going to happen.

[10:11:38] So it's always kind of an awkward situation balancing that in Gen 5

[10:11:40] because the AI is

[10:11:41] unpredictable when it's not predictable,

[10:11:44] which is basically only when you're going

[10:11:45] to do the die.

[10:11:48] You learned

[10:11:49] the best move of all time

[10:11:50] in that battle. Yes, we learned Earthquake

[10:11:52] which we were gonna take heavy advantage of.

[10:11:54] Yeah, incredibly

[10:11:56] strong ground type move, 100 base power.

[10:11:59] Spread and move on both sides of the field so it also hits your allies if they're not flying tight, of course.

[10:12:04] And we're gonna be spamming it a lot for a lot of this run.

[10:12:08] We'll be ironheading basically everything else.

[10:12:09] And it's no contact, which is really cool.

[10:12:11] Would have been nice earlier, but

[10:12:13] still nice to have for now.

[10:12:15] Now we're done with this whole town, with Driftville City.

[10:12:17] We're going to do a little bit of shopping.

[10:12:20] This will be our last shopping

[10:12:21] of the whole run, actually.

[10:12:22] We'll get just enough heals and repels

[10:12:24] to get through the rest of the run.

[10:12:26] And then we're going to get to

[10:12:28] in my opinion, the most interesting part of the run movement wise it's

[10:12:32] like a whole long string of really rewarding whoops really rewarding to pull off movements

[10:12:38] so i'm going to shut up and focus on it, and these guys can kind of give you the lowdown

[10:12:42] of all the different pieces of it here.

[10:12:46] Yeah, so this is gonna show off one

[10:12:48] of the spinner setups that we have kind of manufactured. So as long

[10:12:55] as he gets a pause on the second tile here, okay yeah

[10:13:00] that was a safe check but unfortunately the spinner looked in the direction of him.

[10:13:07] Spinners are kind of like a one-in...

[10:13:12] Well that spinners can spin four different ways? a one in... Well, that spinner

[10:13:13] can spin four different ways. So it's

[10:13:15] 1-in-16

[10:13:17] to look at him and

[10:13:19] it kind of decreases with

[10:13:21] the amount of directions that a spinner can actually look.

[10:13:24] So, like if it can look three ways then its a 1 in 12

[10:13:26] If it's two different ways then its a 1 in 8

[10:13:29] I cant look at that door entrance cutscene without thinking

[10:13:31] of the clip that Minnow has, where it's just infinitely zooming

[10:13:34] in on the door.

[10:13:35] Oh!

[10:13:36] It's so funny!

[10:13:37] I know what you're talking about, yeah.

[10:13:38] It's so weird.

[10:13:39] Did it even like... did it even go back to the game?

[10:13:42] Or did it just like-

[10:13:43] You had to turn it off?

[10:13:44] It was a soft lock. Yeah like It was a soft lock.

[10:13:45] Oh that's weird.

[10:13:47] This is really funny.

[10:13:49] So another quick little fight here, I'm just gonna one shot it

[10:13:51] no problem and then we'll go back

[10:13:53] to cool movements stuff. yeah so this right here

[10:13:55] is actually not even like a setup it's

[10:13:56] just like

[10:13:57] i run the bike it's just uh the thing

[10:13:59] that we can do

[10:14:00] because we know that the spinner is

[10:14:02] loaded in already

[10:14:03] and um running in that direction of the spinner makes it turn right,

[10:14:07] and then you have a few frames of leeway where you can get on the bike

[10:14:10] and just float past it.

[10:14:12] So as long as you execute it is 100%.

[10:14:15] Yeah, something to point out too

[10:14:16] is like a lot of the

[10:14:16] spinner setup stuff

[10:14:17] and just things we

[10:14:18] figured out are

[10:14:19] relatively recent

[10:14:21] discoveries from

[10:14:22] I think it's up

[10:14:24] until 2020 there

[10:14:26] was no spinner attack in

[10:14:27] like gen four or five yeah back then people

[10:14:30] just just ran it i think middle was the one who broke

[10:14:34] ground on uh yeah for sure on making like

[10:14:36] spinner mechanic...

[10:14:38] Like using the spinner mechanics to get down spinners.

[10:14:42] Can you imagine running this six years ago?

[10:14:44] And on top of all the variants of less than stuff,

[10:14:47] you also have a variant of oh i'm just

[10:14:49] gonna hit half the spinners in this right yeah it's really fun just like uh

[10:14:53] all the rng manip shenanigans as well back then too true sure well the orange

[10:14:56] even has also come

[10:14:58] a long way since then.

[10:14:59] We have this cloud stuff now, which we'll actually go over later.

[10:15:02] Well it's more like the consistency of the timer zero but...

[10:15:04] That too yeah.

[10:15:05] I'm not gonna get into that!

[10:15:06] That's a whole other technical explanation

[10:15:08] But it is just really complicated.

[10:15:10] It used to be awful to just RG min at 4 back in like 6 years ago.

[10:15:14] So again right there another spear setup.

[10:15:18] He got it and then he did another run of hike

[10:15:21] yep so more moving there trying to make sure not to hit that

[10:15:24] standing trainer yeah so this room um as long as you know

[10:15:28] oh yeah as long as he doesn't okay all good i'm pretty sure you bonked one

[10:15:33] time which is enough time to lose so that that scientist isn't looking up

[10:15:38] and we're out of charge stone cave yay only a little scary Charged Stone Cave, yay! So perfect for moving around.

[10:15:42] Only a little scary.

[10:15:46] I'm impressed how few Phenomenon we've gotten.

[10:15:48] I expected to get absolutely small Phenom.

[10:15:51] Especially with my monies on the line just wait for a giant chasm yeah

[10:15:57] you always get them in there oh yeah any cave is always a nightmare to go through

[10:16:00] because of the odds of clouds basically just being everywhere gonna talk to

[10:16:05] professor juniper here who's going to give us a master ball which is cool but we also got something

[10:16:09] way better from her in just a little bit um lucky egg which is a very broken item that they just love throwing at you in Gen 5.

[10:16:18] And some other Gens too, but Gen 5 they are like here's a free Lucky Egg! Have fun!

[10:16:24] And Lucky Eggs boost your EXP gain by 50%.

[10:16:27] So we're gonna equip that immediately and start skyrocketing in level.

[10:16:32] But before that more more movement. That will test you.

[10:16:37] I'm just walking through the phenomenon.

[10:16:39] This whole split is testing your movement.

[10:16:43] I didn't hear one.

[10:16:46] Now we're like hallucinating.

[10:16:49] Got a skit zone?

[10:16:51] So entering the... what is this place called again?

[10:16:55] Celestial Tower, yeah.

[10:16:56] Dreamer just somehow beat us here um

[10:16:59] and we're gonna get the lucky egg from her and then with that lucky egg

[10:17:03] i'm going to clip it on pretty much immediately and then we'll go back and

[10:17:06] fight skyla another gym leader dude xy can

[10:17:08] never do it this easy giving you a lucky dog like that oh true that is the other game that does

[10:17:13] what what game do you get at the earliest in Is this from the Black and White 1?

[10:17:19] I don't even remember where you get in Black and White 1.

[10:17:22] It's at the beginning of Charged Time, kids.

[10:17:24] Oh! Yeah, I guess that would be a good way to get in.

[10:17:26] I think it is. I don't know when it is in XY...

[10:17:31] It's like two hours in right it's after the fourth game oh i don't know what that was time wise uh you've ran it i ran up but i don't remember

[10:17:37] right now if i think it's like about the same time, maybe earlier.

[10:17:40] But you have to get really not unlucky.

[10:17:44] Sure sure sure

[10:17:45] That's why I said it y'know

[10:17:47] Yeah and I don't think any of the earlier gens used to just give it to you.

[10:17:51] I think you had to steal it from a Chansey.

[10:17:53] I was looking for Phenomenon there.

[10:17:57] In DPPT, you literally use thief on a minute

[10:18:00] chance that has a lucky egg yeah that is so cool oh that found us

[10:18:05] yeah that's not the game giving it to me

[10:18:09] uh see how that guy just slams into us.

[10:18:11] Hopefully we don't slam into anybody in this gym. Yeah, it's also kind of annoying

[10:18:16] Yeah

[10:18:18] Even more uh difficult movement let's see what he does here... Okay, he is going for this

[10:18:23] frame perfect

[10:18:25] movement bit. It's actually pretty easy because

[10:18:27] you know, movement is just like

[10:18:29] you buffer it and then

[10:18:31] you know, it's just gonna be expected to work but yeah if he had wasted a frame more um after

[10:18:37] going for that uh for that blue like protected bank protected bank from these wind tunnels.

[10:18:46] And he'd be blown back and then slam into the trainer

[10:18:50] and they'll fight you.

[10:18:52] So yeah, you really don't want to mess up here

[10:18:54] yeah this gym's really safe

[10:18:58] that is really hard by the way i can't do that so that is worth clapping for

[10:19:04] and safety save because we're going to use our X-Speed here

[10:19:07] and if we die and don't have the X-Speed that's a big problem

[10:19:10] Yeah this gym fight is annoying especially cause the Unaware

[10:19:13] Shroobat is the first Pokemon here.

[10:19:16] Again, unaware if you missed that question earlier basically just means it ignores any stat changes on you

[10:19:21] so we can't even like try to buff our way through it

[10:19:24] It will just ignore it

[10:19:25] The other Pokemon won't but the subat

[10:19:27] will so it's kind of annoying to deal with

[10:19:29] It's once again a subat, just like ignoring

[10:19:31] the home clause and then being

[10:19:33] in range and being able to miss

[10:19:35] I have max HP, don't I?

[10:19:37] I can go for the high

[10:19:39] HP stroke, can't I? Yeah, there's two different strats

[10:19:41] here where you can homeclaw once or you can

[10:19:43] homeclaw twice.

[10:19:45] Homeclawing once makes Sigileth a range which is the extra foot that you get in challenge mode

[10:19:52] um so let's see what happens here seems fine oh not funny not fine wow i was just excited to click phone calls so we're going

[10:20:05] for the plus one this is gonna be a range yeah you wanna x-speed first in case it doesn't really

[10:20:09] correct the empathy of your strategy. Oh yeah and for reference

[10:20:11] if you're wondering why that missed after three

[10:20:13] homeclaws with the plus 3 accuracy

[10:20:15] Smoovebat has unaware

[10:20:17] Ignores all stat boosts.

[10:20:19] It is...

[10:20:20] It stinks.

[10:20:21] Yeah, it stinks! It really does.

[10:20:22] But also ignores the accuracy boost as well.

[10:20:24] That's how you miss anything.

[10:20:27] So Iron Head, knock it out. On to the Swanna.

[10:20:31] Yeah, Swanna is why you need the XP.

[10:20:33] It's faster than you if you give it a turn

[10:20:35] Click Surf and kill ya.

[10:20:37] Or yeah, Surf

[10:20:39] Is it Surf?

[10:20:43] I guess it loses like Feather Dance from Normal Mode or something.

[10:20:46] Feather Dance is bad but whatever it has in here is bad.

[10:20:50] This is also a range? I went to plus 2, so I'm going to cheat.

[10:20:52] It's a 75 if I didn't go to plus 2 though.

[10:20:56] And then the last Pokemon is Skarmory which you don't have a super-fixable move against

[10:21:00] So you're just gonna Rock Slide it i hope for the best yeah

[10:21:03] plus rock slide with this this is a pussy strat

[10:21:08] you're getting so many splinters are actually pretty nice. 30% by the way!

[10:21:15] It's actually really good because

[10:21:17] Skarmory has agility

[10:21:19] to boost its speed to become faster than you

[10:21:21] and then it'll start spamming Steel Wing which has a very small chance of raising

[10:21:24] defense. And if it does raise defense, you kind of have

[10:21:26] a problem. Yeah.

[10:21:28] That's at 10%, I think.

[10:21:30] Yeah, I think that's time for Steel Wing.

[10:21:32] I'm not sure. it's 10 or 20

[10:21:35] Donate now to tell us!

[10:21:37] Please! We need knowledge

[10:21:39] Yes. Knowledge in the form of money

[10:21:41] We may be

[10:21:43] really good speedrunners at this game, but as far as our logic

[10:21:45] goes it's about as deep as the speedrun goes.

[10:21:49] Yeah so I guess it's victory donations time. That's right. You got it!

[10:21:53] We've got a $ thousand dollar donation from kaylee

[10:22:00] who says drill go burn doctors Doctors go no-bores.

[10:22:10] We also have $15 from Bearfish, a Pokemon speedrun! That's what I call a rapid dash.

[10:22:16] Oh that's not from Pokemon. That's what I call a Rapidash.

[10:22:17] A little bit.

[10:22:20] It is a Pokemon!

[10:22:25] Also $25 from Rappelart, which Pokemon could also be a pirate?

[10:22:27] Arrrrstius also be a pirate. Arceus!

[10:22:30] We're just hopping on a plane here

[10:22:32] and seeing the cutscenes so we can do more.

[10:22:34] Sure thing, we are

[10:22:36] still seeing more of these Pokemon puns we have 13.60 from my rapid pokedex getting

[10:22:42] fired up for best eeveelution flareon hype hype flurry was okay oh no Hype? Hype?!

[10:22:49] Flareon's okay.

[10:22:52] What is your favorite Eeveelution?

[10:22:54] Jolteon!

[10:22:58] I'm a Flareon girl myself, so I get it.

[10:22:59] Oh okay.

[10:23:00] Espeon clears.

[10:23:03] This is fine!

[10:23:04] Let me think about this for a second.

[10:23:05] Also while TTS is thinking about this if you notice we're in a completely different area from what's

[10:23:09] in black and white one so the progression uh if you haven't noticed i thought it was pretty

[10:23:13] obvious but if you have a uh progression in black and white two is uh different from black

[10:23:17] and white one the first like few gyms are like the middle drips are the same, but then it gets a little bit different.

[10:23:23] Gym 4-6 is like the same order?

[10:23:25] Yeah, but some of the other gyms get swapped around or something.

[10:23:29] I don't know where that cloud was,

[10:23:31] I just heard it and panicked.

[10:23:32] Shaking grass?

[10:23:33] Oh! Okay!

[10:23:34] Or shaking grass, yeah same thing.

[10:23:35] I didn't hear it.

[10:23:36] Hopefully no cloud here.

[10:23:37] I heard it.

[10:23:38] Hopefully no cloud here.

[10:23:39] I couldn't see where because...

[10:23:40] We're gonna see like six clouds here.

[10:23:42] I immediately looked down at my DS to see it and then the reflection.

[10:23:45] Hopefully, there's just one out of the way

[10:23:46] and we don't have to worry about it for the rest of the way.

[10:23:48] Yeah!

[10:23:51] I'm just watching so carefully now. So funny movement there,

[10:23:53] Just to make sure that you don't hit this trainer.

[10:23:56] Yeah it's nine frames that you need always.

[10:23:58] That's two octavos plus anything else.

[10:24:00] So a bonk is a bonk.

[10:24:07] Watch your good. It's a bunk. Just watching this. There is no dust clouds, where are they at? This is anxiety mountain.

[10:24:10] Okay!

[10:24:11] Alright so we got into the

[10:24:14] double battle. Yeah. So like all these

[10:24:16] potential spots for dust clouds kind of

[10:24:18] makes you have to focus up

[10:24:20] so that you can maybe react to a dust cloud

[10:24:23] in your way?

[10:24:27] Yeah and as we kind of mentioned earlier this is um actually one of the areas that makes white too faster than black 2. even though we kind of have to make like

[10:24:31] a big swooping u-shape to get around here. In Black 2, it's like a straight

[10:24:36] V line across the top because

[10:24:37] what paths are open and closed

[10:24:40] to you are a little different between the two versions.

[10:24:42] And also in Black 2,

[10:24:44] the mountain here is

[10:24:45] blue. I got a blue view because it's dormant and then

[10:24:49] in white two, it's red because it's active or whatever but the big point that i'm trying to

[10:24:52] get at is that um in Black2 when you're taking that path across the top they

[10:24:56] actually plant another double there

[10:24:57] that you have to fight in order to get through the mountain.

[10:25:01] So that just makes White 2 by default faster because it's easier to make that longer

[10:25:05] route through here but I only fight one level so it's active why are they letting

[10:25:09] people go through it um for the adventure yeah doesn't seem like a challenge oh

[10:25:17] we're like 10 years old and we were allowed to do just about anything we want.

[10:25:21] Are you concerned that they're not going to let people go into an active volcano?

[10:25:25] Yeah, I'm worried that they might catch on fire.

[10:25:28] I mean, we have an exterior that can cause earthquakes. I'm worried that they might catch on fire.

[10:25:29] We have an Excadrill that can cause a Earthquake, so it's whatever.

[10:25:31] Excadrill could also catch on fire!

[10:25:33] This is true.

[10:25:35] So yeah we just take advantage of Earthquake destroying there

[10:25:37] pretty useful. That's a true double, because... Or at least I should say it's more of like

[10:25:40] a following double is what I like to call it

[10:25:42] because Bianca has partnered up with us.

[10:25:44] And that means we got a free heal after that fight

[10:25:46] just like we got a free heal from you and the sewers earlier

[10:25:48] cause he was following us so it was like a follow-up. free heal after that fight just like we got a free heel from you and the sewers earlier because he

[10:25:50] was following us so it was like uh the following double scenario here um but now we're kind of

[10:25:55] coming up on the absolutely worst rival fight yeah Yeah, so bad.

[10:26:01] So the problem here is that Unfezant

[10:26:03] has move Taunt which stops us

[10:26:05] from setting up and we want to get two

[10:26:07] plus 2 attack for

[10:26:09] one-shotting Samurott otherwise we kind of have to deal with Aqua Jet range

[10:26:12] shenanigans that are kind of sketchy

[10:26:14] to work with. So I'm kinda praying

[10:26:16] for a Detect turn 1 and not Taunt.

[10:26:18] Yeah, but one of the worst feelings is getting

[10:26:20] through all the garbage early game and then losing your run to this play.

[10:26:23] Like it just feels so bad.

[10:26:25] That's taunt.

[10:26:29] I'm gonna be chipping with

[10:26:31] Rock Slide then. Praying for a flinch, but it's more likely

[10:26:33] going to pick Aqua Jet so I'll just be faster because of

[10:26:35] priority. Also if it

[10:26:37] picks Revenge

[10:26:39] and I don't flinch it, I just

[10:26:41] take a crap ton of damage too.

[10:26:44] But the plan here is to just

[10:26:50] take a really low aqua jet roll into that's good yeah that's very good yeah so another awkward yet does not kill me unless it's a...

[10:26:53] Don't say that.

[10:26:55] So TTS, you actually got like the minimum

[10:26:58] that isn't the min roll.

[10:27:00] Oh okay.

[10:27:01] I got like two out out of 17 smallest roll.

[10:27:04] The second smallest roll, which is perfect.

[10:27:06] And we get a really strong move now.

[10:27:08] We say goodbye to Home Claws and get Sword's Dance

[10:27:10] Which was just what if Home Claws was good?

[10:27:13] So now we get two attack boosts instead of one

[10:27:16] so basically the first time

[10:27:18] we use it, we're just doubling our attacks straight up

[10:27:20] We do however lose out on the accuracy boost

[10:27:22] that Home Claws gave us

[10:27:23] Rock Slide misses! Yay!

[10:27:28] Swords Dance, the attack was just so worth it yeah it makes sense that you really just don't need x items at all

[10:27:31] yeah next one is going to be fast enough for most things anyway generally so

[10:27:35] uh we're just gonna chill out and spam swords dance an earthquake

[10:27:38] and win most fights that way yeah the combination of sword's dance good moves

[10:27:42] and like good speed

[10:27:44] just makes extra drill like so good you don't't have to worry about buying X items at all.

[10:27:49] There's no other Pokemon in the game I'm pretty sure that can not get X items,

[10:27:53] so they have to take it like shopping mall 9.

[10:27:56] So Exeggure is just so much better than everything else. at Shopping Mall 9, so actually it's just like...

[10:27:58] It's just SO much better than everything else.

[10:28:00] There's another one!

[10:28:03] And the max ether here to restore our PP later?

[10:28:06] You'd much prefer a water one instead of a grass one.

[10:28:08] Yes, grass ones are always scary because it's really hard to see where they are.

[10:28:11] Especially when you're biking at like warp speed.

[10:28:13] Yeah, you can't see it. If it's in your way then unlucky.

[10:28:16] Yeah basically. The bike in this game is so fast because it doesn't have any acceleration or deceleration curves.

[10:28:22] You have two states either stop or go.

[10:28:25] It's a little kind of an insane bike.

[10:28:28] It is extremely extremely fast bike.

[10:28:30] Just the top speed of any bike in Pokémon series without the drawbacks.

[10:28:35] Yeah, it's hard.

[10:28:36] It's really hard to effectively use it because like...

[10:28:39] I've struggled so much with those one-pile entries. Yeah, because at least the

[10:28:43] mock bike has a little bit of windup you can prepare yourself for what's about to happen

[10:28:46] but this is just like zoom zoom zoom. Another thing just to update everybody on the lore here so we're kind of following Professor Juniper around she's trying to figure out stuff about legendary dragon and I think some team plasma stuff at the same time, but she's really more obsessed about the legendary dragon stuff um however uh it is

[10:29:05] optimal to just act completely clueless against juniper and have no idea what she's talking

[10:29:09] about it's kind of funny because a lot of times in the speedrun particular is that you are

[10:29:15] actively sabotaging the good guys and agreeing with the bad guys in order to move around as

[10:29:19] quickly pretty much yeah yeah generally your dialogue is always just like...

[10:29:24] Just saying yes to everybody.

[10:29:26] Like whatever who cares?

[10:29:28] But then a few times you're like a Team Plasma apologist

[10:29:32] Speaking of Team Plasma we we're gonna fight some people here pretty soon once this heal is done.

[10:29:39] Yeah I gotta heal up here because it's a little too sketchy of a health to try and take care of things until my next menu it basically just comes down to how well that

[10:29:47] rival fight goes whether or not i need to do as like a quick heal here here hugh says have you

[10:29:52] seen team plasma and then they immediately show up awesome

[10:29:55] what is uh this guy's role again in team plasma he's kind of like the man under

[10:30:00] the boss okay yeah

[10:30:03] he's kind of assumed to be the head of Team Plasma now that they have disbanded after like,

[10:30:10] The plot at PW1. All the Sages have basically retired except for Zinzal and

[10:30:15] For some reason he's willing to stick around

[10:30:17] for round two electric boogaloos.

[10:30:19] Sure, sure, sure.

[10:30:21] The plan here is just a rock slide.

[10:30:23] Fragadol has like lacklubly low defense so it'll always die at a

[10:30:26] rock slide and then we're just kind of hoping that Samrock laughably low defense so it'll always die to Rock Slide.

[10:30:27] And then we're just kind of hoping that Samurott is in any way helpful whatsoever.

[10:30:31] It often just goes for Almodra, which is absolutely useless.

[10:30:34] Aqua Tail?

[10:30:35] There he is! Let's go!

[10:30:37] I don't think it has Aqua TailTill yet but it will go for...

[10:30:39] It'll Aqua Jet.

[10:30:41] Yeah, it'll Aqua Jet here now because it'll actually see the kill on fullback before it wasn't a kill.

[10:30:48] I mean otherwise this fight's pretty easy if we have any donations.

[10:30:52] We absolutely do!

[10:30:54] We have $25 from Swift Red Vox.

[10:30:57] Says good luck TTSving the amazing runs this year

[10:31:00] You're all making such a difference

[10:31:01] We're so close to $750,000

[10:31:05] And it's true

[10:31:07] we are right on that cost

[10:31:08] We were also almost at thirty thousand out of the forty

[10:31:11] thousand to fight cynthia oh we're getting there we need help we only have like a little over an

[10:31:18] hour before i went into this brush yeah so like the sooner we hit it the uh the sooner

[10:31:24] tts can start preparing for the mudslap strategy mentally so the sooner we get there the better

[10:31:29] funny you say that we've got a $100 from Crane who says,

[10:31:32] hoping for that one mill I want to see

[10:31:33] that mudslap fight.

[10:31:39] Let's just do some more, I think.

[10:31:41] Great. We have $75 from

[10:31:43] who says,

[10:31:45] I want to say hi from France!

[10:31:47] Been following all GDQ events since 2017

[10:31:49] and I'm finally able to do a donation

[10:31:51] and finishing my studies in two weeks and I want to say a big thanks

[10:31:53] to all the crew behind GDQ, from runners to volunteers. I'm so happy

[10:31:57] to give a bit of my first wages to this wonderful event. Love for all of you

[10:32:01] love for Pokemon and above all

[10:32:03] trans rights.

[10:32:09] That guy there

[10:32:10] at Village Bridge

[10:32:10] that was kind of

[10:32:11] hanging out by the fences

[10:32:12] near the carvel

[10:32:12] sometimes he could just

[10:32:13] be clipped into the

[10:32:14] fence for somebody another one i was so hoping that it was important i was hoping it was too

[10:32:18] for the content but legendary pokemon you gotta catch your master ball bye. I'm busy.

[10:32:26] So yeah, we just don't need it.

[10:32:28] Exodrill is so broken.

[10:32:29] I cannot stress how good Exodrill is

[10:32:32] and you're going to see even more in this endgame now

[10:32:34] where it's going to be overleveled pretty soon.

[10:32:36] Exadrill is just...

[10:32:38] Man, such a good Pokemon!

[10:32:40] There's still some problems in the next gym

[10:32:42] and we'll talk about that when we get there but...

[10:32:44] Yeah, it's kind of funny that um in black white one they kind of keep the uh

[10:32:49] the swords of justice this is what they're called um kind of like post game i think

[10:32:53] uh but black white two they just shovel about you.

[10:32:56] We literally see all three of them.

[10:32:58] We've seen Kabalian already, but he's on screen for like 3 seconds at most

[10:33:02] so we probably missed him

[10:33:04] Yeah, we're gonna see Terrakion at some point too

[10:33:06] because this game really wants us to befriend them throughout our journey or whatever.

[10:33:12] Gen 5 is like peak unsafe gyms. Like I wouldn't go on this if I was a gym trainer.

[10:33:17] This isn't what you want. I would probably fall off yeah. I wouldn't go on this if i was a gym trainer.

[10:33:18] This is not your fault.

[10:33:20] It can't be any worse than Black and White 1's Mr. Alton Gym.

[10:33:23] Well Skylar has the dangerous gym in this game AND the last game, it's hilarious.

[10:33:27] Yeah, Osho would like to have a word with a couple of these gym layouts.

[10:33:30] Anywho, this Fracture is most likely going to D-dance turn 1 and if it does

[10:33:34] It becomes a speed tie. I'd like not lose the speed die if possible.

[10:33:39] The worst fight! lose this beat die if possible.

[10:33:42] The worst fight! Wooo! Unfortunate, but fine.

[10:33:44] I'm gonna have to do a menu coming up anyway so it's not the end of the world

[10:33:47] It's just time saved to win this beat obviously yeah as per usual

[10:33:52] very non-dangerous fights generally but just lots of ways to lose time

[10:33:59] and now you get to pick which direction you're going in.

[10:34:01] Why are you picking the direction you're going?

[10:34:03] So this gym is kind of laid out similar

[10:34:06] to Norman's Gym and Gym 3, but not nearly as complex.

[10:34:10] The two options that we're given here is

[10:34:12] offense versus defense. We're going to pick offense because

[10:34:14] it's a little better to one-shot them.

[10:34:17] We are going to be faster

[10:34:18] than this Fractured no matter what, so even though

[10:34:20] we're going to set up a storage dance

[10:34:21] to be able to

[10:34:22] one-shot these, it's not like

[10:34:24] gonna punish us

[10:34:27] in any way because we're still faster and

[10:34:28] it's not going to click the move to attack us.

[10:34:30] The defense won't suck, I promise. I think they have like protect or something.

[10:34:33] Yeah, they do!

[10:34:35] They suck! I have routage stuff

[10:34:37] and then I have to go fight the defense one

[10:34:39] because this one just hurts and kills everything.

[10:34:41] So...the option here was offense-defense,

[10:34:44] we picked attack on the top

[10:34:46] That's a big one

[10:34:48] Yeah, uh, the next one up is actually

[10:34:50] gonna be triple battle versus rotation

[10:34:52] Battle, we're going to pick triple battle because,

[10:34:53] um,

[10:34:54] rotation as we kind of mentioned before is significantly slower

[10:34:58] to handle.

[10:34:58] So we're just going to deal with the triple one,

[10:35:00] the triple one kind of sucks though,

[10:35:01] because he's going to have,

[10:35:02] um,

[10:35:03] an ax you a fracture and a drug again, and the drug again is going to have an Axew, a Fracture and a Drudgan

[10:35:05] The Drudgan is going to be in the middle mirroring

[10:35:07] Excadrill

[10:35:08] So I'm going to be doing some menuing here to actually put

[10:35:11] Excadrill in the second slot of my party

[10:35:13] because that translates to the middle of a triple battle. I'm also

[10:35:17] going to Candy and Carvos here, cause now is the most opportune time to do all that

[10:35:20] stuff. So then the plan will be to set up Swords Dance with Excadrill turn 1 and watch Axew and Fracture take out both Ptav and Psyduck.

[10:35:33] Hopefully! Sometimes they can get a little wonky and double target Excadrill for some reason, throw a whole wrench in the plan.

[10:35:40] But Intercept will take out literally everything on the field after Sword Stance so that's the dream here is that um at the very least

[10:35:48] uh pittuff takes damage and dies because i can't eq to kill it up cause he's flying tight

[10:36:02] so yeah we're just gonna earthquake the world here. How about a couple donations while I rock the world?

[10:36:06] You got it!

[10:36:07] I hope i'm not stepping on Kizeran's toes here, but we have $12.40 from Jinx who just says

[10:36:15] That was good!

[10:36:17] We've got $25 from Squirtle who says, War Turtles.

[10:36:21] That one's a thinker I like that one.

[10:36:25] Alright we have Dreadnought and he's. Revenge... that works.

[10:36:31] That's the worst, just with a little lower health but it's not low enough for me to be concerned.

[10:36:36] Luckily in challenge mode you are stronger than you were in Rome. So the dragon is not arranged

[10:36:42] Yeah, it's a 75% and normal mod which actually makes it a very punishing like range to mess

[10:36:48] Yeah, if you miss it, we just die

[10:36:49] Yeah, cuz usually pick revenge and

[10:36:51] revenge is enough to just completely annihilate

[10:36:53] you yeah not all the time i guess because

[10:36:56] it doesn't see that revenge is going to be under 20 base power it could go

[10:36:59] for like just a crunch right, you can get lucky but

[10:37:03] its not something you ever want to bank on

[10:37:05] having to deal with

[10:37:07] But your HP is

[10:37:09] fine now

[10:37:11] And now straight in time which is honestly less scary than some of the gym trainers.

[10:37:15] Wait you forgot to save!

[10:37:16] Oh nooo...

[10:37:18] Oh shoot.

[10:37:20] Sorry.

[10:37:21] Yeah dragon type Pokemon are really powerful so this is going to be pretty scary.

[10:37:25] They're only weak to like two types it's itself and Ice-type.

[10:37:28] And Haxorus has a billion attack and speed.

[10:37:32] Actually kind of over already so we might need to just prepare the next one honestly

[10:37:37] yeah yeah i need some donations for luck i would love to give you a donation for luck we have got

[10:37:47] 440 dollars from asalot who says

[10:37:55] we also have $376 from Elle for my favorite Pokémon Metagross!

[10:38:01] The smartest metal... spider? Dog?

[10:38:07] Spider dog. Cat! Is Hax actually faster? No.

[10:38:11] Okay. We also have $31

[10:38:15] and 70 cents from Poisonous Puns.

[10:38:17] Hey TTS, use Swalot to try playing this even faster!

[10:38:21] That's 3170 for the best toxic Lumb, 371 Swalot

[10:38:25] Swalots underrated for sure.

[10:38:28] Very huggable Pokemon.

[10:38:32] Oh, here's Axorus.

[10:38:34] Breaks the mold.

[10:38:38] Funny enough in both normal mode and Oh. Okay.

[10:38:49] Funny enough, in both Normal Mode and Challenge Mode this is by far the easiest Gym Leader you just set up Solar's Dance and Sweep with Iron Head it's a super free fight. The only concern is making sure that you actually like pick up the necessary carbos that you need to boost your speed,

[10:38:51] to outspeed the Phlegon.

[10:38:52] Otherwise it has Earth Power and will just kind of wreck your day.

[10:38:56] It doesn't actually have an answer for X-Growth

[10:38:58] Just we're faster so we're fine.

[10:39:00] Yeah right.

[10:39:02] Folks we've just passed $750,000 dollars for Doctors Without Borders!

[10:39:09] Let's go.

[10:39:13] Alright, 250,000 to go.

[10:39:14] Let's go.

[10:39:16] We got an hour.

[10:39:18] What do we have for Cynthia?

[10:39:20] We are at $30,885.33 which means that in the next hour or so

[10:39:27] we've got $9,090 to go

[10:39:30] I know that sounds like a lot but there's

[10:39:32] a lot of you out there and every little bit helps oh we'll get

[10:39:35] there no problem yeah if people start donating a five dollar frame you know

[10:39:39] yeah my reach five dollars for gen 5. yeah oh i love that let's see it folks where are my

[10:39:46] gen 22 fans at where's my jen 1924 by petra rutt fans in the chat there's my gen 1924? My Petra Rutt fans in the chat.

[10:39:53] There's my Gen 10,000 fans

[10:39:55] Uh so yeah this is just cutscenes now

[10:39:59] What's happening? We're gonna get a huge lore dump here

[10:40:01] Um Professor Juniper's research has led her

[10:40:04] to Drayden, who kind of knows

[10:40:06] the gist of

[10:40:08] Kiram. So even though this game

[10:40:10] has Rush Rom and Zekrom,

[10:40:13] this game is actually more focused around

[10:40:15] Kirim, which is

[10:40:17] a very powerful

[10:40:19] ice-type Pokemon that can do a lot of

[10:40:20] damage with

[10:40:23] freezing things over and stuff. Surely it's not going to cause anything in the next five minutes.

[10:40:26] Nah nothing will happen. We're basically being taught about how Curum is like a former shell of what

[10:40:31] it was and there's this particular item called the DNA splicers

[10:40:35] that can help restore it to full under the right conditions.

[10:40:39] So, right conveniently as all this is explained

[10:40:42] to us terrorism.

[10:40:45] Whoa! It's like Final Fantasy!

[10:40:47] Ohhhh!

[10:40:49] Very true.

[10:40:51] I can feel that going in. Yeah nothing is gonna happen here

[10:40:53] until its flying over.

[10:40:55] Just a blimp into the sky. Beautiful sunny day.

[10:41:01] Look at the power of these fully 3D cutscenes

[10:41:03] on the Nintendo DS!

[10:41:05] This game released very late into the

[10:41:07] DS's lifespan

[10:41:08] so this is like

[10:41:08] the peak of

[10:41:09] graphical power

[10:41:11] over witnessing

[10:41:11] a 2012 release

[10:41:13] and 2004

[10:41:14] with consoles in it.

[10:41:16] Yeah.

[10:41:17] That's not nice.

[10:41:19] How does this work?

[10:41:21] How does it not melt immediately?

[10:41:24] Winter in July

[10:41:24] is more crystal than ice,

[10:41:27] I guess.

[10:41:29] There's also snow or ice so... It's definitely ice now!

[10:41:31] Yeah...

[10:41:33] Yeah, so

[10:41:35] Team Plasma is now aware

[10:41:37] of and after the DNA splicers because we conveniently

[10:41:40] just learned about them. So, now they have to

[10:41:42] have conveniently just learned about them.

[10:41:44] They're going to do anything that they can

[10:41:46] to get a hold of them. They know that Drayden actually

[10:41:48] has them. So, they are basically going to hold the city hostage by layering it in ice and demanding that.

[10:41:56] They handle with a place for 16 plasma so that they can continue about their nice stuff.

[10:42:04] Because in this game, they kind of got rid of the charade

[10:42:06] of freeing Pokemon to liberate them and get rid of the Pokeball

[10:42:12] and all that kind of stuff. They're just now straight up

[10:42:14] like, we want control of the world.

[10:42:18] Now it's everyone's favorite part of Pokemon Ice Puzzles.

[10:42:21] Yeah, so this city and actually the two routes

[10:42:23] eastman west actually turned into a little bit of slide puzzles you won't see the

[10:42:26] slide puzzles on their routes but um this whole city kind of comes into a whole ice

[10:42:31] puzzle thing that made to side around first to progress puzzle thing that we have to slide around.

[10:42:32] First, to progress in the story,

[10:42:33] We have to fight three Plasmagrunts and then Zinzolin will appear

[10:42:36] in front of the gym

[10:42:37] And once we kick his butt

[10:42:39] and do one more thing with

[10:42:41] The Shadow Triads

[10:42:42] Then we can go off towards the eighth gym so uh we get a little

[10:42:45] bit of time for donations here if you'd like to read a couple i would love to we have 206

[10:42:50] from dan who says if dunsparce has a million fans I am one of them.

[10:42:56] If Dunsparce has ten fans, I am one of them.

[10:43:00] If Dunsparce only has one fan that is me

[10:43:03] if Dunsparce has no fans, that means I am no more on the Earth.

[10:43:06] If the world is against the Dunsparce, I am against the world."

[10:43:11] Fun fact, they actually did a run of Dunsparce main in white sand why because it looked okay

[10:43:19] it wasn't really that good i'm so surprised.

[10:43:29] We also have $100 from Caron who says I am donating $100 to fight Cynthia because

[10:43:31] I innocently fought her on my white playthrough

[10:43:33] having no idea who she was

[10:43:35] It was my first completed Pokemon game at the ripe old age of 34, no less.

[10:43:38] She let me think I was beating her first Pokemon... then healed up and crushed me into dust.

[10:43:43] Avenge me TTS! AVENGE ME!

[10:43:46] I'll do my best. Avenge me, TTS! Avenge me!

[10:43:47] I'll do my best.

[10:43:50] Level me with real quick how much does Brevil Ice Shark give you?

[10:43:53] You have to heal before this next turn or anything.

[10:43:55] Okay.

[10:43:56] Might as well swap two right here.

[10:43:57] Yeah.

[10:43:58] Alright.

[10:44:00] We have $28

[10:44:01] from MadRiddler.

[10:44:03] Here's a Pokemon hot take.

[10:44:04] The starter Pokemon

[10:44:05] shouldn't be Fire Grass Water.

[10:44:06] Why not something new

[10:44:07] like Fighting Psychic Dark? Thoughts? Yeah. be fire, grass, water. Why not something new like fighting psychic dark?

[10:44:09] Thoughts?

[10:44:11] That'd be interesting.

[10:44:13] Yeah, what starter types do you want to see?

[10:44:16] I think one of the triangles

[10:44:17] you can do is flying rock fighting.

[10:44:20] Ooh...

[10:44:22] Yeah, well we did like uh...

[10:44:25] Exegryl, exegryl, exegryl.

[10:44:29] Speed ties galore here. I know we saw them just a minute ago.

[10:44:37] $6 and 15 cents from Dad rock, who who says i heard we were discussing overlooked pokemon

[10:44:43] 615 for the cute little cryogonal did you know it used to be able

[10:44:47] to learn a track but it would always fail let's give Cryogonal Cryo...

[10:44:52] Cryogonal some love.

[10:44:54] I know it's a mouthful.

[10:44:56] Yeah halfway through I forgot

[10:44:58] how to say it.

[10:45:01] That's how underappreciated it is.

[10:45:03] It's true.

[10:45:04] Ugh, I'm part of the problem!

[10:45:08] Alright we're almost done.

[10:45:11] Two more fights?

[10:45:12] Yeah two more fights.

[10:45:12] We're gonna fight Zinzalon again. Pass Krag and Ulzer to destroy them.

[10:45:17] Oh, I feel bad now! Nooo... You should let him win.

[10:45:24] But I gotta go FAST!

[10:45:28] We do have to speedrun, we do have

[10:45:30] to keep the marathon moving.

[10:45:34] Proud of them, oh nooo!

[10:45:36] It does have kind of a cute face when you look at it with the...

[10:45:39] What?!

[10:45:40] Has like the um- No, I see it.

[10:45:42] It's like uh, electronic- Oh there's another one.

[10:45:44] Yeah, you see like the eyes where it's blinking and stuff?

[10:45:45] Yeah.

[10:45:46] It's like a robot face.

[10:45:47] Yeah.

[10:45:48] And it's always frowning which is so sad.

[10:45:53] We need more dishes.

[10:46:01] Time for the ugly grin. Anyway... $50 from Flying Penguins. My two-year old daughter demanded to wear my Pikachu socks today.

[10:46:08] So here's $50 for two Pikachus.

[10:46:12] $58 from Balamb Soldier,

[10:46:14] adding to the annual Pokedex entry for this sweetest of boys, Growlithe.

[10:46:17] He's just a cute little guy. Less than three.

[10:46:19] Love Growlithe.

[10:46:23] We've got $25.40

[10:46:25] from Meteor Bower

[10:46:28] for my favorite Pokemon, number 254 Sceptile! Good luck on the

[10:46:32] run and Trans Rites! Hell yeah that is a great

[10:46:36] choice too for a Pokemon. Very underrated Hoenn starter IMO.

[10:46:41] Oh, what are these guys?

[10:46:42] Yeah, so Drayden went into the gym to get the DNA splicers in his Infinite Wisdom

[10:46:47] while people were actually looking for him.

[10:46:49] He also... Yeah, he just shows up so quickly after

[10:46:53] he leaves it's like if he had it right at the front door and

[10:46:55] like in case of emergency break glass. Yeah, yeah. So the Shadow Shred are like just

[10:47:03] insanely agile ninjas that just fly around and stuff so they immediately

[10:47:09] swipe it from Draven's hands as soon as he gives them to us.

[10:47:11] So now we're kind of on a chase

[10:47:13] trying to get them back. Spoiler alert!

[10:47:15] We don't.

[10:47:17] But yeah,

[10:47:18] that makes it

[10:47:19] a little awkward that but now we've given Team Plasma exactly what they're

[10:47:24] looking for in order to try and cause world domination.

[10:47:28] Yeah, surely we won't have to try and stop them soon.

[10:47:31] Surely...

[10:47:33] Oh wait, we just finished the seventh gym leader in a Pokemon game?

[10:47:36] That's exactly what we're gonna do right now!

[10:47:39] I know we just fought an Absol.

[10:47:42] I've heard some people say that it sounds like ooh.

[10:47:44] Ooh?

[10:47:45] Like the cry?

[10:47:46] Yeah.

[10:47:46] I wasn't listening, dang it.

[10:47:47] Well now you'll get another chance!

[10:47:49] You will get another chance.

[10:47:50] Perfect.

[10:47:51] Let us know what you think in your donations.

[10:47:53] Speaking of which can I drop one donation

[10:47:55] real quick? Yes. We have

[10:47:57] $1,490

[10:48:00] from

[10:48:01] Bluejay

[10:48:02] donating for my favorite Pokemon and $90 from Bluejay.

[10:48:04] Donating for my favorite Pokemon, Dragonite times 10.

[10:48:07] Cynthia here we come.

[10:48:10] Thank you, Bluejay.

[10:48:21] Time for another one? yeah go for it 78 from lydia this may be unicorny but it's time to stop horsing around and get ready for c. This is $78 for the best

[10:48:25] pony, and my favorite Pokemon, Rapidash.

[10:48:28] How are we doing on that incentive?

[10:48:30] We are at

[10:48:31] $33,257 seven dollars so we need 6 700 more before the end of this run

[10:48:41] hey why don't we just fight something now oh yeah we don't have money

[10:48:45] just keep going.

[10:48:46] Yeah we're not ready yet, we'll get smoked.

[10:48:49] So now Team Plasma

[10:48:52] Now that they have what they want

[10:48:55] They kind of bailed to the north end corner of the region, so we're

[10:48:57] hunting them down now. So we're going back to

[10:48:59] new territory. This is

[10:49:01] Marine 2, which has one of the sickest themes on there.

[10:49:04] Well it takes a second

[10:49:05] to build up. Trust me.

[10:49:08] Kind of leave when the best part starts.

[10:49:15] Can I drop an addition on you?

[10:49:16] Yeah go for it.

[10:49:17] $113 from Shenanigans! Can I drop an addition on you? Yeah, go for it.

[10:49:18] $113 from Shenanigans!

[10:49:20] Hello GDQ! Shen here with the 113 purple sweets that Cold ate during

[10:49:25] the old school RuneScape run.

[10:49:27] Also TTS, Mom said you can totally come over tonight my house is just to

[10:49:31] the left of the pokemon center in umbrella town can't miss it hopefully see you soon

[10:49:35] if you go there right now i'll be right over

[10:49:40] also 25 I'll be right over. Also $25 from Gary who says, Gen 25 easily going to

[10:49:44] be the best gen. That's where the Gen 5 remakes will finally come out.

[10:49:48] Alright, gym leader time. Very exciting.

[10:49:51] Yeah, so this gym is a little interesting.

[10:49:55] So Marlon actually has

[10:49:57] a team order mixed up a little bit here.

[10:49:59] In normal mode he leads with Karacasta, which isn't a big deal.

[10:50:02] But in Challenge Mode, he leads

[10:50:03] with Wailord, which is a much bigger deal.

[10:50:06] So Wailord has one

[10:50:07] or two moves that it'll either click Rain

[10:50:09] Dance, which is beneficial for us because we can take care of Waylord in two no problem.

[10:50:16] The other move it has is Scald Oh that's fine.

[10:50:23] Because that's Clay... not Clay

[10:50:25] Who am I fighting right now?

[10:50:27] Fighting Marlin!

[10:50:29] Marlin's signature move is Scald

[10:50:31] and Scald is a really bad move it's going to do over half our health because just we melt the water yeah yeah

[10:50:34] water is a not a good type to go against no and guess what it's 30 percent

[10:50:40] yeah thirty percent of burn on top of that, and burn is just really bad.

[10:50:43] So the cope here is that I never see Skulld

[10:50:47] And either flinch or Wailord and Karakasta pick something else

[10:50:51] I pretend I do not see it

[10:50:53] Exactly If you can't see it. Exactly, if you can't

[10:50:55] see it then it doesn't happen right?

[10:50:59] Yeah I don't know if we've explained burn too much but

[10:51:01] its a status that literally halves your

[10:51:03] physical attack and because we are a physical attacker,

[10:51:05] it really sucks.

[10:51:06] I don't like it.

[10:51:08] Yeah, so we might be doing some dying in this fight.

[10:51:10] Unfortunately, there's no folder stores available to us.

[10:51:14] Well, there is one. But it's like

[10:51:16] you have to go around

[10:51:18] the town and then go back.

[10:51:20] It's just not worth it. Yeah, if a detour that's

[10:51:22] never worth it. And then you unlock

[10:51:24] all the stories after beating the gym, because why not?

[10:51:27] Yeah. So normally what most people do is just eat a death on that fight

[10:51:31] Because it's kind of almost expected with how much it stacks against you

[10:51:36] We are looking to get rid of Pidub

[10:51:37] at some point here

[10:51:39] before we kind of start the last

[10:51:41] plasma sequence in Giant Chasm, so it's not

[10:51:43] the end of the world if we have to stack Pidub

[10:51:45] at any point, but we'd like to be as optimal as possible so it just kind

[10:51:48] of depends on the situation what happens yeah reason being there's a double battle and you

[10:51:51] don't want that involved yes because earthquake doesn't synergize well with

[10:51:55] it right i know just getting a ton of levels, which is not good.

[10:51:58] Yeah, levels...

[10:51:59] Despite how fast the battles

[10:52:00] are in Gen 5,

[10:52:01] actually leveling up part

[10:52:02] is like the slowest part

[10:52:04] by far.

[10:52:05] It's so bad

[10:52:06] because you have

[10:52:07] to level up

[10:52:08] zoom in on the Pokemon and then it's like leveled up and

[10:52:11] then if you have multiple those that does it multiple times it is very slow it's also like

[10:52:16] level 2 and everything else right now like level level 50, so we'd be sitting there for

[10:52:20] a solid three minutes.

[10:52:21] EXP scaling would also give us

[10:52:23] help to catch up even faster.

[10:52:25] Alright, so here's Wailord praying

[10:52:27] for Rain Dancer or Flinchier. scald is bad um yeah just flinch that's that's

[10:52:33] all it is in this game it's just like oh my god that is not great no burn so that's what you can find i can kill it um the next one's

[10:52:44] coming out as care costa i'm praying that he uses shell smash but there's no reason for

[10:52:48] it it should stop it's gonna scold yeah, so I'm just gonna end up Scald

[10:52:51] when you hit Scald and dying.

[10:52:53] Flint is the only way out here.

[10:52:56] Flinch game.

[10:52:57] 30%!

[10:53:00] Or crit? Okay. That's actually not helpful.

[10:53:04] Aww.

[10:53:06] Alright, no luck going so far.

[10:53:08] That counts as a death by the way.

[10:53:09] My cat!

[10:53:10] What?

[10:53:12] This counts as a death.

[10:53:13] Even though it's basically planned, but...

[10:53:15] I wanna talk to my refs about what counts

[10:53:17] as a death.

[10:53:19] Uh, the job dying also counts as a death so

[10:53:21] So does the- WHAT?! does the what is it that's on charles you know oh sure all

[10:53:26] the triple battle deaths yeah okay okay maybe we're getting a little too many oh no i feel

[10:53:32] like the debt collectors have just started knocking on my door.

[10:53:35] Wait what about InGraded's gym?

[10:53:37] Yeah yeah yeah, for a total cause Charles...

[10:53:39] So man team you wanna hit this one or it's like please hit this.

[10:53:43] I'm gonna's so broke

[10:53:52] no big deal yeah and jellicent there's two paths you can do you can either flinch with iron head or you can go for a six and sixteen three and 16 range sorry we're cool around here

[10:54:00] it's fine to go for because it has a citrus berry oh wait that cost me money. Crap! I shouldn't have done it.

[10:54:10] I mean no, I did it for the charity.

[10:54:12] Oh...

[10:54:14] Wait, get it back up because you decided to make a new one.

[10:54:16] Okay okay okay No, this is... Wait. Get it back up because you decided to mess it up.

[10:54:16] Okay! Okay!

[10:54:18] That's gonna be in pairs. It's kinda messed up.

[10:54:21] Yeah so this is another fight where you just lose a lot of time even though you win it and

[10:54:24] it's like a safe fight technically. it sucks. Yeah, it's like

[10:54:28] usually always winnable fights but it's just very

[10:54:30] unfortunate when you end up in an awkward situation

[10:54:32] with Skull there. Basically

[10:54:34] just depends on what Wailord does. If you

[10:54:36] miss Rock Slide or Manting then you can actually just wipe but it didn't happen.

[10:54:41] That's like the only really scary thing.

[10:54:43] We got all eight badges!

[10:54:45] Surely we're near the end of the game right?

[10:54:47] Yeah that's it. You're like an hour underestimate dude.

[10:54:50] Yeah, yeah.

[10:54:52] You got to beat the E4 and then you are done.

[10:54:54] That will be 15 minutes right?

[10:54:56] Surely nothing bad will happen.

[10:54:59] Surely we won't get sidetracked for 14 minutes. Surely nothing bad will happen.

[10:55:02] Surely we won't get sidetracked for 45 minutes.

[10:55:04] See, I'm getting into DNA splicers no big deal.

[10:55:06] They won't do anything evil with it.

[10:55:08] Goodbye Mario!

[10:55:10] Yeah he's got a really funny like... So, he exits from the back but...

[10:55:13] But!

[10:55:14] He's a fast swimmer.

[10:55:16] Just wait.

[10:55:17] Olympic swimmer out here.

[10:55:18] Olympic swimmer.

[10:55:20] Wait... he's like sprinting right now yeah

[10:55:29] that's you.

[10:55:32] Waiting still there.

[10:55:35] I thought you went the other way, what?

[10:55:42] It's also really funny this conversation with Marlon is like hey have you seen Team Plasma and he was like who the heck is Team Plasma. He was like whatever not my problem.

[10:55:44] Yeah he's like everyone in the water is my friend

[10:55:47] are you sure that Team Plasma is bad and all this stuff

[10:55:49] it's just for how much lore they put in the Black-White one

[10:55:53] and making the gym leaders involved

[10:55:54] in stopping Team Plasma.

[10:55:55] It's such a weird contrast

[10:55:57] to just see Marlon be absolutely...

[10:55:59] Oh, I gotta revive this side up.

[10:56:01] But it's just a weird contrast seeing how absolutely clueless he is about what's going on with Team Prisma stuff.

[10:56:07] But anywho, we're gonna revive Sadak there because we do need Sadak alive to actually have a double play out as a double. Otherwise we're going to get two single fights

[10:56:15] back-to-back, so... We're gonna revive

[10:56:17] Psyduck there. We're gonna be doing something that's

[10:56:19] actually really new to

[10:56:21] White 2

[10:56:23] mainboard categories. It's called trainer skip and there's a very equivalent

[10:56:27] in um black white one known as plasma skip uh but basically what's going to be happening is

[10:56:31] we're gonna be manipulating phenomenon to effectively skip two trainers'

[10:56:37] field of vision.

[10:56:38] So the catch

[10:56:40] here is that with like the shaking grass,

[10:56:42] rippling water and all that stuff, trainers can't

[10:56:44] actually see through it so if we put one between us and the trainer

[10:56:47] We can effectively skip them and not have to worry about battling them

[10:56:51] It only really is useful for these two trainers here

[10:56:54] Because they're the only ones that have, like,

[10:56:57] tiles of phenomenon

[10:56:58] that can happen.

[10:57:00] And we're not even there yet.

[10:57:01] Unfortunately, this is going to cost me money.

[10:57:03] Yeah. I also want to make note

[10:57:05] that this has not been seen before at a GDQ.

[10:57:08] I mean, I ran Black and White 1 back in 2021 with Pulse

[10:57:12] And White 2 was run like way farther back than that

[10:57:16] We knew of the phenomenon back then but it was just too hard to like find

[10:57:20] it now it's a lot easier so this is really cool yeah tts is the only one who does this

[10:57:25] so far in either any percent or challenge mode, it doesn't.

[10:57:29] On the English boards at least there is one Japanese runner who has done trainers go out there and sugar. Yes, there's obviously pretty big risk with going for this.

[10:57:39] Doesn't save a tremendous amount of time, but it is pretty good if you get it because

[10:57:42] yeah, obviously you're skipping trainers, but you're doing this whole save and quit

[10:57:44] thing which also eats up a good amount of time.

[10:57:46] Yeah, so I would like quiet and please stay quiet until my couch says you guys can clap which will be after

[10:57:50] the second phenomenon in the second trainer skips so just quiet mode for right now please I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, but I'll try.

[10:58:07] I think that's a good idea. I'm not sure why this is so hard to get.

[10:58:18] This is a pretty good level, but it's also very difficult to get the right items in.. All right, give it a try. DTS!

[10:58:36] That is how you do it. It's really cool.

[10:58:37] This track saves like about 20 seconds if it goes well.

[10:58:41] Yeah.

[10:58:42] There are still some

[10:58:44] after effects because you skip these trainers

[10:58:46] and lose like,

[10:58:48] experience and some of the fights

[10:58:50] become a little more difficult but ya know...

[10:58:52] Yeah couple ranges become slightly worse

[10:58:54] but just get the ranges

[10:58:55] and it's not a problem, right?

[10:58:56] Yeah.

[10:58:56] Yeah, and like

[10:58:57] you might have just missed

[10:58:58] the ranges anyway

[10:58:58] before I said

[10:58:59] Right, right.

[10:59:00] It's not like making

[10:59:02] a range that wasn't

[10:59:03] arranged into a range

[10:59:03] it's just making some ranges slightly worse right

[10:59:05] and it's by one in 16 so that's how much tucker oh six point two five percent okay i don't know

[10:59:16] gotta make sure your mind is still sharp back there. Yes, yes, yes.

[10:59:17] I can rattle off all 16 if you want but

[10:59:19] you know what to ask me.

[10:59:22] I guess we can get victory donations for that too?

[10:59:24] You got it! We have $310 from Syflux, long time watcher but first time catching GDQ live and able to donate.

[10:59:33] Unfortunately I am at work and can't watch the Pokemon run, but here's to giving hope one doctor at a time

[10:59:38] let's start by sending cynthia's pokemon to nurse joy

[10:59:42] i like your thinking and we are down to just about $5,000 away from that goal.

[10:59:50] So again real close let's keep that momentum going Twitch Chat!

[10:59:53] We can crush it I know for sure.

[10:59:56] We have $83 from Rustclad King for my favorite samurai duck, Farfetch'd. Proof that birds are real and have swords.

[11:00:06] Alright so this is Frigate 2 because it's the second time we've been on the frigate

[11:00:09] um here we're basically just gonna rock the boat for a while until we get kicked off that's kind

[11:00:14] of the trend for some reason they just let us hang around for a while i forgot

[11:00:17] the max ether but that's not a huge issue

[11:00:19] i just have extra earthquake now um but the whole stick here is that we're gonna have to

[11:00:25] figure out what the password is there's like a whole puzzle um they're basically like the worst

[11:00:31] um trained in cyber security like team i've ever seen

[11:00:36] because we can just walk around and they just tell us how to

[11:00:38] like do everything it's so great um what's my password uh i don't

[11:00:45] know you never told me uh i'm getting stage fright.

[11:00:54] Really? Maybe it's Reshiram!

[11:00:56] Hold on, hold on...

[11:01:00] It's 2202 There is one of five things that

[11:01:03] can be, 2202-7707

[11:01:05] 9909 the word Retram

[11:01:07] or the words ZECOM so obviously

[11:01:09] the number passwords are

[11:01:11] fastest because they're really short and only four digits long.

[11:01:13] And the number ones are really long,

[11:01:15] because obviously you have to punch in way more text

[11:01:20] and also because the default keyboard is like A B C, C, D, E, F. You can't

[11:01:24] switch to a QWERTY keyboard

[11:01:25] along the bottom if you want to punch it in faster

[11:01:28] but ideally you just have

[11:01:30] a password that has a better

[11:01:32] password than pressureembers.com come I don't have an earthquake

[11:01:36] that's actually a buddy I might have missed a vote.

[11:01:46] You heard it here first, folks.

[11:01:48] The numbered passwords

[11:01:49] are really long.

[11:01:50] You really don't want them.

[11:01:51] Let's get some Regeram

[11:01:52] and Zekrom passwords

[11:01:53] out there.

[11:01:54] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[11:01:56] Samurott dying is like whatever

[11:02:00] hello i'm pheasant nice to meet you this

[11:02:02] is new knowledge.

[11:02:09] I'm just going to Iron Head Gravidar, because I know

[11:02:10] I can kill it and then hopefully Unpeasant does

[11:02:12] literally anything. Surely we'll pick

[11:02:15] an attacking move here.

[11:02:16] Not that one though,

[11:02:18] that is not the one you want.

[11:02:20] But that is a two turn move.

[11:02:21] Yes.

[11:02:23] All right well we have the Max Caesar now

[11:02:24] we can use that.

[11:02:26] Actually my Iron Heads are kind of screwed from not I'm tempted to just take the bed heel.

[11:02:31] Oh yeah you could do that probably find them. Yeah actually no that's a terrible idea because the pit up is dead.

[11:02:37] I should not do that.

[11:02:39] Oh my gosh.

[11:02:40] I am sorry.

[11:02:41] Yeah, it means you gotta donate more money if that happens.

[11:02:44] True!

[11:02:45] Yeah... yeah.

[11:02:47] Oh, I think that Samurai Death counts by the way.

[11:02:49] What?

[11:02:50] It's not even mine!

[11:02:51] No!

[11:02:52] It was under your watch.

[11:02:54] If it had been 80-30, it wouldn't have happened.

[11:02:56] But I still probably would've killed it.

[11:03:00] That woulda' been your fault fault then, which is worse so...

[11:03:02] Can we do like a half?

[11:03:04] You can put a half.

[11:03:06] I don't know, like

[11:03:08] a tally? I don't know.

[11:03:11] Yeah, I'm going to add a few thousand

[11:03:12] you're looking at this

[11:03:14] there we go after half town

[11:03:16] half town.

[11:03:18] I'm trusting

[11:03:18] you to keep those two on us

[11:03:19] back there on the counts.

[11:03:21] Looks good to me, I don't know.

[11:03:25] We're getting information by just battling these trainers.

[11:03:28] Again we do just know the password but we can't put it in yet yeah so this one gives us

[11:03:33] the key card and just says figure out the password by yourself there's a bunch of others that you

[11:03:37] would fight to like actually get clues yeah yeah it's supposed to be like a whole puzzle

[11:03:43] i didn't mention It's supposed to be like a whole puzzle. Yeah, but we know the answer.

[11:03:44] I didn't mention it before,

[11:03:47] but how you know your password is actually based off your trainer ID.

[11:03:49] So when you're routing

[11:03:49] your typing minutes at the beginning,

[11:03:51] you always going to have to keep an eye on your trainer ID to make sure that it's the beginning, you're always going to have

[11:03:52] to keep an eye on your trainer ID to make sure that it's a password

[11:03:54] that you're acceptable using. So mine just happens

[11:03:57] to be the most optimal 2202 is the best and 9909

[11:04:00] is the worst of the number passwords just because 0 and 2 are right next to each other,

[11:04:04] so it's really easy to punch them in.

[11:04:08] Another clutch thing about Gen 5

[11:04:09] is that as a lefty,

[11:04:12] menuing is so free for me because I get access to all of the ABXY which do a

[11:04:17] lot of functions for navigating the bag and stuff.

[11:04:21] Left hands just have it built different here.

[11:04:23] Yeah, cause sometimes you want to be able to like

[11:04:25] mash and do touch screen menus but right-handed players they just kind of have like

[11:04:32] no ergonomic way to do that i I was born for this game. Yeah.

[11:04:36] Left-handed. I didn't know you were left-handed.

[11:04:38] I am.

[11:04:40] You've been staring at my DS for like two hours.

[11:04:42] No, I've been staring at your screen for two hours.

[11:04:44] Wow, is this fair? I can't see anything on that DS. screen for two hours. This is fair.

[11:04:47] I can't see anything on that DS.

[11:04:47] I'm in a D-pad moment.

[11:04:51] Anyway,

[11:04:51] so this is another

[11:04:52] true double with Hugh.

[11:04:54] Hugh has

[11:04:55] Aqua Tail now and he'll actually be inclined to use it.

[11:04:58] The only problem is that Aqua Tail is like 85 accurate?

[11:05:01] 90 accurate, which means it's zero accurate because of Hugh

[11:05:04] and Hugh is just not a helpful partner whatsoever.

[11:05:08] Yep!

[11:05:10] So the dream here is that he lands both his Aqua Tails

[11:05:12] And then I will Earthquake the last two to kind of clean things up

[11:05:17] I'm going to say

[11:05:18] before I hand it back over to the host, but

[11:05:21] if you're worried about your

[11:05:22] account, you could always just PC heal

[11:05:24] on your way back?

[11:05:27] I could. I think I'm okay because I'll have the elixir and

[11:05:29] I think the elixir will carry me.

[11:05:33] Your turn for donations?

[11:05:35] Fantastic, we've got $25

[11:05:37] from Bulbasaur, who says...

[11:05:46] Thanks, Bulbasaur!

[11:05:49] We also have $100

[11:05:50] from Sterner's stock.

[11:05:54] Voltorb is number

[11:05:55] 100, but consider this 100 Bulbasaurs.

[11:06:02] TTS are kind of low on Iron Heads now. Yeah, I think with the extra EQs that I have though

[11:06:04] I should be okay.

[11:06:05] I'm just going to prioritize using EQ more later.

[11:06:10] And if I need to, I have Rock Slide in there later.

[11:06:14] And if I need to, I have Rock Slide in a pinch. Normally you want 5 Iron Heads, 2 EQs

[11:06:18] and like one of each of them

[11:06:20] That's not my fault fault that's another half though

[11:06:27] that's a full tally i guess i guess

[11:06:33] oh hi simmy save

[11:06:35] you should kill that too

[11:06:37] yeah yeah no

[11:06:39] you should just iron head it

[11:06:41] get the rock Slide there, cause Bug.

[11:06:44] Yeah.

[11:06:45] Pretty nice.

[11:06:46] Save some PP.

[11:06:47] I either killed Samurott before...

[11:06:49] No, and Samurott wasn't as an Aqua Kill.

[11:06:51] Cause of course it did!

[11:06:52] Yeah.

[11:06:53] Yeah, because normally that fight ends cleanly right?

[11:06:56] Usually you get Spolipede and Weavile at the same time.

[11:06:59] And you just Q and everyone dies.

[11:07:01] Although weaviles are like a 14-16 I think but just never bank on that happening.

[11:07:07] So anyway, Hugh and Zinzalyn are going to go back and forth about

[11:07:09] Purloins, DNA

[11:07:11] splicers, naughty stuff.

[11:07:13] How about some donations while we watch Team Plasma snap all their backs collectively as they shoot out of the sky?

[11:07:19] Absolutely. We have $25 from OmegaMurr who simply says,

[11:07:26] Fight her.

[11:07:30] And we are $4214 away from that fight Cynthia goal.

[11:07:33] We're so, so close.

[11:07:37] Five dollars from Hivemind says I just love

[11:07:39] GDQ!

[11:07:41] I get it, Hivemind, I do too.

[11:07:43] $26

[11:07:45] from Graheim always have to donate for my favorite Pokémon Raichu

[11:07:48] during any Pokémon run.

[11:07:53] We also have $25

[11:07:55] from SymphonicGuy.

[11:07:57] We cannot let a Pokémon White 2 speedrun go by $25 from SymphonicGuy.

[11:07:59] We cannot let a Pokemon White 2 speedrun go by without being terrified

[11:08:01] by those piano notes on Cynthia's theme.

[11:08:03] Let's reach that goal!

[11:08:05] P.S., Absol's cry does sound like

[11:08:07] oooohhh... Absol's cry does sound like a whoa.

[11:08:09] Ooh.

[11:08:10] Whoa.

[11:08:11] No.

[11:08:12] Woo?

[11:08:13] Woo?

[11:08:16] I saw we're almost at 36,000 for the Cynthia, right?

[11:08:18] We are... Yes, that is right.

[11:08:18] We are at 35 796.19 cents we can get there we can absolutely

[11:08:25] get there i believe in you chat we have 48.70 from A Veritable Feast,

[11:08:31] who says,

[11:08:31] Donating for my favorite Pokemon,

[11:08:33] Giratina.

[11:08:34] When a game allows you

[11:08:35] to pet a mythical wing demon bug,

[11:08:37] it's easy to fall in love with that.

[11:08:39] Is Giratina a bug though? It's easy to fall in love with that. Is Giratina a bug though?

[11:08:41] He is kind of like centipede-y, you know?

[11:08:44] Honorary bug!

[11:08:45] Yeah.

[11:08:46] I never thought about it like that before at the Six Flags.

[11:08:48] Vicerachion, Vicerachion...

[11:08:49] Ohhhhhhhhhh! Nitrochloric acid, nitrochloric acid.

[11:08:55] Had to be at least one in a Gen 5 run. Phenomenon baby!

[11:08:58] This is one of the areas where it's so likely

[11:09:01] just like... run into the grass

[11:09:04] because it's just so narrow and you can't really get out of

[11:09:06] the way.

[11:09:07] Yeah, there is no time to react.

[11:09:09] More of this right now.

[11:09:11] Also notice how it's like one tile wide here.

[11:09:15] Nothing bad will happen now.

[11:09:17] No no I definitely won't give up another $5.

[11:09:19] I've already given up so many at this point.

[11:09:26] You're basically paying at this point to do this round.

[11:09:32] Time for a couple more? I'll go for it.

[11:09:35] We have $39.30 from Top Water-type Trainer in honor of my favorite Pokémon, Piplup!

[11:09:41] First in person GDQ and I'm having a blast.

[11:09:43] Let's have a totally easy time fighting

[11:09:45] Cynthia.

[11:09:47] I didn't hear that one.

[11:09:50] I feel like you're scaring me.

[11:09:51] We gotta check the tapes. Yeah, roll the tapes back

[11:09:53] on that one.

[11:09:55] $8.45 from Bookworm214

[11:09:58] A donation for 845 Cramorant

[11:10:01] His head is empty but his heart is full of love

[11:10:04] His mouth is full of Arrokuda and Pikachu. Yes.

[11:10:07] We have $5

[11:10:08] from Scootaloo, who says

[11:10:10] second time donating here but has had to donate

[11:10:12] for the second time during a Pokemon run

[11:10:14] By the way, what does an electric type Pokemon

[11:10:17] say when they get gassy while drinking milk?

[11:10:21] I'm

[11:10:21] Zapdos intolerance!

[11:10:24] What?

[11:10:25] I don't know why that that one really gets me.

[11:10:28] Oh my gosh.

[11:10:32] Oh my gosh.

[11:10:34] You guys are haters.

[11:10:36] I can't explain why of all the puns that one gets me so much.

[11:10:41] That's actually clutch because it gives me an Iron Head back, so that's really nice.

[11:10:47] Maybe we should be counting deaths for all of the times that TTS kills Pokemon.

[11:10:50] No!

[11:10:51] No!

[11:10:55] Alright, so yeah, we're just fighting...

[11:10:57] Can we fight Zunzalin again here?

[11:11:00] In a little bit. Yeah, there's gonna be

[11:11:02] a double coming up that we call

[11:11:04] an ambush double because it happens

[11:11:06] right as you go through your door and the team plasma grants

[11:11:08] make like a big deal out of like ambushing us they also have like the

[11:11:12] dialogue ever i'm gonna i'm gonna mash a little slower so that you guys can see what they say

[11:11:17] because honestly like the quotes live in my head rent free. I didn't even realize

[11:11:21] like I quote them so often as a kid or even

[11:11:24] like today until like I started running this game again and like oh that's

[11:11:27] where I started getting those like phrases from

[11:11:30] and stuff but anyway i have a funny story

[11:11:33] about this place from when i was a kid go ahead so in black and white one i had

[11:11:38] no idea kiram is here and when i was going through this and i got to the end

[11:11:43] i got i got jump scared really bad at the screen

[11:11:47] i was like why just like cure i'm just like chilling out because it does it's

[11:11:51] like crying

[11:11:52] in the middle of

[11:11:52] the place when you

[11:11:53] get to a certain

[11:11:54] tile.

[11:11:54] Oh yeah.

[11:11:55] And that scared

[11:11:55] the living heck

[11:11:57] out of me.

[11:11:58] I forgot about

[11:11:59] that,

[11:12:00] yeah.

[11:12:01] Yeah,

[11:12:01] someone was

[11:12:01] like,

[11:12:01] why have

[11:12:02] you been

[11:12:02] ambushed

[11:12:04] or something really weird.

[11:12:06] Here is the fight where it was really important to have

[11:12:08] a very civic party set up here, yeah?

[11:12:10] Yeah, if I have Pit of Alive then I can't take care of it.

[11:12:12] I could burn a turn with Swords Dance and just let Scraggy

[11:12:15] And Trubbish take care of it, but it's really slow to do that

[11:12:17] But I'd still have to kill Scythe Up

[11:12:18] So it's better to kill Scythe Up

[11:12:20] It's much better to do this as double battles

[11:12:22] So we're keeping Scythe Up alive

[11:12:23] Yeah

[11:12:24] Because even if

[11:12:26] we had one poke alive it's still a required fight so we would just fight them one-on-one

[11:12:31] yes such as marking the cider oh yeah this upcoming scrafty is one of the things that benefits from Challenge Void, it's no longer a range.

[11:12:39] Yeah this thing has high jump kick and would absolutely demolish me at this health if um...

[11:12:43] It's a range?

[11:12:44] There was a range in normal mode,'s not until without swords dance because oh

[11:12:49] yeah a lot of people do stories yeah a lot of people sort of dance in normal modes get rid

[11:12:52] of the range which is perfectly understandable well you should have learned Fisher for Cynthia.

[11:12:57] Oh! Yeah.

[11:12:59] You can buy a bunch of X-accuracies too?

[11:13:01] Yeah...

[11:13:03] Yeah that doesn't matter.

[11:13:05] GTS I've got a pretty important donation for you.

[11:13:07] Go for it!

[11:13:08] I'm gonna say this one out of order. It's a $7 donation.

[11:13:11] How about some love to the trans icon Sylveon?

[11:13:14] Also...

[11:13:17] Is that donations from Cynthia?

[11:13:19] No.

[11:13:21] She's throwing it down, we are $3277 away from that goal. Let's get there!

[11:13:26] Yeah let's do it.

[11:13:28] How do you like Sylveonon i like sylvian okay

[11:13:31] i think you're not a complete hater of everything

[11:13:35] you literally called them all like awful like two seconds ago

[11:13:39] i feel like if it's not jolteon it sucks called them all awful two seconds ago. You're like,

[11:13:40] if it's not Jolteon, it sucks.

[11:13:41] I think I'm being lied to.

[11:13:44] So this is the Plasma Frigate

[11:13:46] again but inside of it now

[11:13:48] that guy can be kind of silly because there's like a one tile move

[11:13:52] kind of range there to get past him. But this is just a puzzle section obviously TTS knows how

[11:13:58] to do the puzzles so just Just has to hit all these buttons

[11:14:01] to turn off the barrier

[11:14:03] You've got to be really careful with your movement here

[11:14:05] or else you'll make a small mistake and actually fight

[11:14:07] a trainer but other than that, pretty fine

[11:14:09] I do like this area a lot.

[11:14:11] It's pretty cool.

[11:14:12] It's got a good theme too.

[11:14:13] Oh yeah.

[11:14:14] Makes me too nervous.

[11:14:16] Time for donation?

[11:14:20] Go for it!

[11:14:23] $78 from Malice. Listen up! My favorite Rapidash, it's cute, lovely, smart, amazing.

[11:14:33] You think so? Oh yes! It's stunning

[11:14:37] Kindly love it, hug it when sleeping

[11:14:41] Warm and cuddly, spectacular,

[11:14:44] ravishing. Oops!

[11:14:46] Look at the time I kept you for too long.

[11:14:48] Thanks for hearing me out. I want you to have this.

[11:14:50] I deserve a rickhandia for that.

[11:14:52] Thanks for the bike voucher.

[11:14:53] Oh hey there's a thing of a candy for that. Thanks for the bike voucher. Woo!

[11:14:55] Oh, hey, there's a thing.

[11:14:56] Yeah, ignoring that physical latency

[11:14:59] trying to get up on the platform

[11:15:00] there to get the elixirs. That was awesome.

[11:15:02] So Zinzalon's really easy.

[11:15:06] Ice Shard is a bit of a problem since Priority that we've always kind of had to deal with

[11:15:09] at this point.

[11:15:11] I'm going to be doing a heal for Chorus after this because my health is kind of on the worst side so uh what

[11:15:17] actually am i oh i'm sitting fine um in terms of pp because i'm just gonna actually i could rock

[11:15:23] slide we've done do chloris elix, but that's not worth it here because

[11:15:26] I have to heal.

[11:15:27] Do you have three Earth Breaks right now?

[11:15:30] Yeah...

[11:15:31] No, he had two.

[11:15:33] Weavile is going to take them both away if there's pressure.

[11:15:36] You can Rock Slide we've got and kill

[11:15:36] it but I'm not going to do chorus elixir basically um there's a strat where

[11:15:40] you can elixir during the cloris fight instead of right before it and it gives

[11:15:43] you one extra earthquake because um you're one short otherwise and have to make it up, but

[11:15:48] because I have the heal already, it's just not worth

[11:15:50] doing it because I'm still likely going to

[11:15:52] have to heal at some point anyway. And

[11:15:54] doing both the heal and the elixir

[11:15:56] outside of battle is faster than doing both in battle.

[11:15:59] In this case, it's not even correct to do Coors Elixir.

[11:16:05] Folks we've passed 37 thousand out of that $40k. We are so close. You're doing a great job. Let's keep it up.

[11:16:11] Awesome.

[11:16:15] Did I see four freshwaters? You only get four in the run.

[11:16:19] Did I just never use a freshwater?

[11:16:21] That's funny, apparently I'm all out of supers though

[11:16:24] I think you used one on the Charon that died

[11:16:29] I think that was it.

[11:16:30] Oh yeah.

[11:16:30] What's this guy doing here?

[11:16:31] What the heck?

[11:16:32] Yeah.

[11:16:33] I thought this guy

[11:16:33] was like fine.

[11:16:35] Yeah.

[11:16:35] Thought he was a good

[11:16:35] guy.

[11:16:37] Kicks.

[11:16:40] Uh, all right. So now it's time for counting with Chloris I hope you guys have studied yeah see

[11:16:47] he's actually with team plasma but his whole thing with the... I don't know.

[11:16:52] But anyway, we're gonna make progress.

[11:16:53] This theme is awesome.

[11:16:56] This fight's pretty chill, there's just like

[11:16:58] sturdies annoying most of the time.

[11:17:00] Sturdies and air balloons keep me from one-shotting most right it's usually just

[11:17:04] iron head in the earthquake and you know pray for punches what is airborne so air balloon prevents

[11:17:10] um a pokemon that would normally be hit with a Ground move

[11:17:12] from taking any damage until the Balloon gets popped.

[11:17:15] So we'll use an Iron Head to pop the Balloon, and that will kind of ground

[11:17:18] Kling Lang who has this, so then we can actually EQ it

[11:17:21] and kill it off

[11:17:24] yeah pretty cool item uh we're getting to that late game part as well

[11:17:28] uh we're going to like game where we're just gonna see more items on these bosses

[11:17:31] and they're gonna be pretty. Especially because we're on childhood.

[11:17:38] It's just these little

[11:17:38] splinters that save like two seconds.

[11:17:41] Right.

[11:17:42] For sure.

[11:17:44] So nice!

[11:17:45] 5 4 3 2 1

[11:17:48] Are there any Taurus-themed enjoyers in the audience?

[11:17:52] Oh yeah.

[11:17:56] There's the air balloon and you can see the text pop up? Yeah.

[11:17:58] So, fun fact, you can go into

[11:18:00] like play with an

[11:18:02] air balloon like Zerua that looks

[11:18:04] like Pignite And even though it says

[11:18:07] the text on screen, Clay can't read that

[11:18:09] and will just keep trying to bulldoze your

[11:18:10] air-ballooned Zerua that looks like a Pignite

[11:18:13] and you can just 20 shot all of his

[11:18:15] balls in one. I may or may not know this from experience if it doesn't take like what

[11:18:20] 20 times to do pwt even like you get air ballooned without doing pw yeah yeah you get it from uh

[11:18:25] yeah it's in that it seems in the same building where you get the Iron Head.

[11:18:28] It's like upstairs.

[11:18:29] Oh!

[11:18:34] I did not know that.

[11:18:36] I'm learning new things every day.

[11:18:41] What is something to do dude learn about this game there we go and that's chorus uh pretty chill that's the big bad boss of team plasma sort of uh we will fight

[11:18:46] another big bad boss pretty soon but we got gotta go through a bunch of grunts again here.

[11:18:51] Also this Grunt runs away because he realizes you're too strong.

[11:18:53] Very smart! That's the smartest character in Pokemon history!

[11:18:57] He has no Pokemon. Also, check out

[11:18:59] Getsis' sick gamer setup.

[11:19:02] Dude. Count the monitors.

[11:19:04] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

[11:19:06] 9, 10, 11, 12... I can't count.

[11:19:08] 15! We got 15 monitors. think about all the GDQ streams and restreams that you could be watching right now.

[11:19:14] Shout out to the Restreamers by the way.

[11:19:18] Got time for a victory donation?

[11:19:20] Of course.

[11:19:20] $59.50 from Arisa, my donation

[11:19:23] for the best Pokémon Joltik! He's just a little guy...

[11:19:50] Snorlax is so real for that.

[11:19:52] I know we got a Snorlax in here right now. I do love Snorlax is so real for that. I know we got a Snorlax in the water right here.

[11:19:53] I do love Snorlax, it's a good Pokemon.

[11:19:56] You know what else is a good Pokemon?

[11:19:58] My cat.

[11:19:59] Yeah.

[11:20:00] We in fact have a donation from my cat, $25 for my favorite Pokemon Haunter.

[11:20:05] That's not its number but it evolves from Ghastly at level 25.

[11:20:09] I think we should have a ghost Pokemon themed game because ghost Pokemon need love too.

[11:20:13] Absolve? Listen? Oh my god! Because ghost Pokemon need love too. Opsalt, listen.

[11:20:15] Oh my god!

[11:20:19] That is amazing.

[11:20:23] How are we looking on that cynthia we are so close to 39 000. 38 900 and 49 cents

[11:20:32] we're closing in oh Oh, I know!

[11:20:35] They want that Cynthia fight.

[11:20:36] We all want that Cynthia fight.

[11:20:38] I'm sure they do.

[11:20:39] She's taunting us through donations.

[11:20:41] We're now only $400 away from that goal.

[11:20:46] And TTS did say if we hit the incentive

[11:20:48] he won't use any setup moves during this game.

[11:20:51] That's true I heard him say that.

[11:20:54] What can I do at this point?

[11:20:56] Win. What can I do at this point?

[11:20:57] Win.

[11:21:01] Zorah with pickaxe!

[11:21:11] We have $250 from Danielle. My cat go brrrr! Trans rights.

[11:21:18] $194 from Luna Mora, donating for the one true favorite, Wooper.

[11:21:21] Let's show Cynthia a super wooper good time and show

[11:21:22] that champion she's no big whoop.

[11:21:26] $25 from Pikachu.

[11:21:28] Pikachu! Pika-Pikachu!

[11:21:31] Translation, this goes to the Cynthia incentive

[11:21:34] I want to see a good clean fight.

[11:21:36] Yeah no setup moves, no X items, no healing

[11:21:40] No cheating Yeah, no set of moves, no X items, No healing.

[11:21:44] So lore update So it turns out that

[11:21:46] One of the Shadow Triad members stole a

[11:21:48] Pearl Lion from his brush like two years ago and it just so happens to be

[11:21:50] huge that proline is kind of hanging out at the top of the screen as uh hughes and he's

[11:21:55] kind of like checking up on his quest is finally finished but i'm getting flinched by an Accelgor with me first.

[11:22:02] Okay. Anyway... That's fine.

[11:22:04] So we're coming near the end of Routine Plasma stuff almost.

[11:22:16] Oh! Almost. Close

[11:22:19] Real quick we have a $700 donation fromiel best evolution sylveon it's very good understandable

[11:22:27] it's the one uh i almost called you evie it's the one swift way and a 1089 dollar donation from ed e ott i couldn't choose between

[11:22:38] salamance rotom or hit on top so i'm just to donate for all of them.

[11:22:46] I'm gonna go for swag stairs here

[11:22:48] Swag?

[11:22:50] Doesn't get zero

[11:22:52] Oh, I didn't get it

[11:22:55] Those little stairs there you can um you get traction on them again so you can go down with the full speed of the bike to save like a couple frames

[11:22:59] but if you miss it and you can go straight back down yeah that's

[11:23:03] the first time i tried it i-I don't do it again.

[11:23:05] I got in practice yesterday for the-err two years ago for the Fun of Eartha.

[11:23:10] Anyway...

[11:23:11] Alright gets us again.

[11:23:12] Getsus is very annoyed with us at this point

[11:23:14] And has um taken Kyurem from the ship is very annoyed with us at this point and has taken

[11:23:16] Kyurem from the ship and put it into the cave

[11:23:18] because I guess for some reason in this cave

[11:23:20] it's just going to have the power to freeze

[11:23:22] the whole world or something rather.

[11:23:23] I don't know, I don't play Pokemon.

[11:23:24] I want to point out by by the way, that this is

[11:23:26] the only time where a character actually tries

[11:23:28] to kill you in a

[11:23:30] Pokemon game. That should count for the tally.

[11:23:33] But you don't actually die.

[11:23:34] You don't die? Wait, spoiler alert!

[11:23:37] Hey come on!

[11:23:39] Y'all ruined it.

[11:23:41] It is wild to see this from a Pokemon game.

[11:23:45] Fusion flare!

[11:23:48] From Reshiram... No, it can't be that guy.

[11:23:50] Who could it be? It can't be.

[11:23:52] It's the best thing in the game!

[11:23:54] Honestly true though.

[11:23:58] I'm placed for like 5 seconds at one point.

[11:24:01] Yeah, for all 40 seconds it plays.

[11:24:04] It's a little green here guys.

[11:24:09] I love this character. It's a little green here, guys. You know this always confuses me because at the end of...

[11:24:13] We just hit that incentive!

[11:24:15] We are going to be fighting Cynthia at the end of this run

[11:24:17] Thank you so much everyone That is $40,000 for Doctors Without Borders.

[11:24:22] Thank you thank you thank you guys are all amazing.

[11:24:24] Let's go!

[11:24:27] We got a floating olive to celebrate.

[11:24:29] Orb?

[11:24:31] Orb.

[11:24:33] Oh, what is that?

[11:24:34] This looks good.

[11:24:35] This looks healthy.

[11:24:37] This is three minutes of cut scenes.

[11:24:38] I get to finally rest my hands.

[11:24:39] Yay!

[11:24:41] While we're doing these cut scenes, I have a question for you TTS.

[11:24:43] You've been Gen 5's strongest soldier

[11:24:45] for several years now right?

[11:24:47] About a year and a half.

[11:24:49] Why have you been running these games for as long

[11:24:52] as you haven't, and put yourself through the misery

[11:24:54] of this category for as long?

[11:24:56] An unhealthy addiction.

[11:24:58] OK.

[11:25:00] That's fair. No. I loved Gen 5 as a kid.

[11:25:04] I kind of started falling out of playing Pokemon right when Gen 6

[11:25:07] started and Gen 5 was on the way out the door.

[11:25:10] And I really liked playing White 2 as a kid but I never got to play it as much as I

[11:25:13] wanted to. So when I kind of started

[11:25:15] entertaining the idea of getting into

[11:25:17] speedrunning Pokemon, I was like, hey

[11:25:19] why not I just pick

[11:25:21] the absolute hardest one to get started in.

[11:25:24] Yeah!

[11:25:25] And, you know, a year and half later

[11:25:27] I'm kind of the guy that everyone goes to now

[11:25:29] with minute questions.

[11:25:30] That's pretty fun

[11:25:31] to see how quickly

[11:25:32] you can progress on a run

[11:25:33] in such short time.

[11:25:35] So if you've ever been scared of running

[11:25:37] a game before

[11:25:39] because it seems so intimidating,

[11:25:41] You can do it!

[11:25:43] You just gotta give yourself the time and patience to explore, try things out, ask questions

[11:25:47] and figure things out on your own.

[11:25:49] And most importantly engage with the community

[11:25:51] because I was really shy to engage

[11:25:53] with the community at first but once I started to get to learn some of your faces

[11:25:58] back here and even on the lovely couch behind me

[11:26:02] who are all here to support.

[11:26:04] You know it became a lot easier to get motivated

[11:26:09] to play this game because then I can compare

[11:26:11] against a lot of the people that I used

[11:26:13] to watch before I got into speedrunning.

[11:26:16] Although I will admit that transition from

[11:26:17] being a hardcore

[11:26:19] lurker viewer to most of you and then

[11:26:21] become on equal footing

[11:26:23] with all of you was weird as heck because showing up

[11:26:25] to like a D2Q and being like, hey... Alright, I know you game. Yeah, I remember like I didn't know who you were and then

[11:26:28] one day I think I saw you in a chat or something

[11:26:30] or I saw you doing a run

[11:26:32] and I was checking it out

[11:26:34] oh you're already running?

[11:26:36] And I was like, yeah I think I saw you in a chat or something,

[11:26:38] or I saw you doing a run.

[11:26:39] And I was checking it like oh you're already top four

[11:26:41] in Blacklight 1? Okay cool.

[11:26:43] Yeah so...

[11:26:45] That's awesome.

[11:26:46] Well yeah good lesson there.

[11:26:48] Pokemon Speedrunning is awesome, community is great definitely check That's awesome. Well, yeah, good lesson there.

[11:26:48] Pokemon Speedrunning is awesome.

[11:26:50] Community is great.

[11:26:50] Definitely check it out.

[11:26:51] We'll talk more about where you can learn

[11:26:53] more at the end of the run but definitely

[11:26:55] check it out and now this abomination

[11:26:57] is in front of us.

[11:26:58] Yeah. It is funny too because

[11:27:00] I know that you got into speedrunning

[11:27:02] actually from watching

[11:27:03] this run specifically!

[11:27:05] I got into Pokemon speedrunning from watching the GDQX run

[11:27:08] out of challenge mode because I was looking for a new run to learn

[11:27:10] because I'd just been running KH3

[11:27:13] and I saw the run

[11:27:14] live at TwitchCon. I was like, this is cool.

[11:27:16] I'm going to try Pokemon.

[11:27:18] And then I did it for four years.

[11:27:20] Funny how that comes full circle.

[11:27:22] Yeah, weird.

[11:27:23] I don't like it.

[11:27:25] Turbo Blaze.

[11:27:26] Turbo Blaze?

[11:27:27] Not just blaze.

[11:27:28] It's like blazed but buffed up.

[11:27:30] Has no relation to Blaze.

[11:27:33] This isn't a rage in challenge mode, right?

[11:27:36] It's much better possibility.

[11:27:39] So the Kiram has random stats and if it has like absolutely cracked HP defense

[11:27:44] in a plus defense nature, it can live an Iron Head.

[11:27:47] But in challenge mode its very rare thing to have happen

[11:27:50] because you have couple extra levels compared to normal mode

[11:27:52] but still technically

[11:27:53] can happen, I don't think I've seen anyone in challenge

[11:27:55] mode. And I've never missed it.

[11:27:57] Yeah, I've never missed it either, so...

[11:28:00] But there are also not a lot of challenge

[11:28:01] mode runners because of the absurdity of this category as

[11:28:04] evidenced by my tally talent okay that's right so far like the category is awful plus

[11:28:09] like you need uh some way of playing black too as well, which is annoying.

[11:28:15] But now we're fighting Dennis so that's cool.

[11:28:19] Alright, that's good if I had burned an earthquake there

[11:28:22] I would have had a bit of problem problem but we're all good here.

[11:28:27] I hope you all have your dentist chats ready.

[11:28:29] True. Also, you do get fully healed

[11:28:30] before this fight.

[11:28:33] Kept up on my words.

[11:28:36] Super chill. If you haven't noticed by the way we're already

[11:28:38] like 10 to 15 levels higher than basically

[11:28:40] everything at this point but

[11:28:42] Lucky Egg is finally really kicking in here

[11:28:44] and showing what an extra 50%

[11:28:47] EXP boost does over the course of like

[11:28:48] an hour and a half.

[11:28:50] We're just going to be pretty high level for the rest

[11:28:53] of this run, I guess Cynthia will be a little bit more

[11:28:54] normalized but

[11:28:55] even with all the extra levels

[11:28:58] doesn't mean these fights are free or safe they're still can be pretty scary yeah that

[11:29:02] that electros is particularly scary because it has a flamethrower which does do like three quarters of our health

[11:29:08] because of course it does um and cause flamethrower also has the chance to burn if we get burned

[11:29:11] we're in a really bad position because both put up inside of her bed right now so i'd have

[11:29:15] to do some shenanigans they'reigans you're fully healed right yeah they are

[11:29:19] right thank you but it still would have been an awkward process to kind of get set back up because

[11:29:24] i don't have like easy means of using Swords Dance,

[11:29:29] at least without risking another burn chance.

[11:29:32] It's just a nightmare to miss that Electross as well

[11:29:34] trying to get out.

[11:29:36] But there is Dennis Dunn which means

[11:29:38] Deplasma is no more

[11:29:45] would you like a victory donation of course we have $10.06 from Fox Act.

[11:29:53] Hello, SGDQ! Happy to be donating for another great year.

[11:29:56] These $10.06 are for the true robot trans icon, Iron Valiant.

[11:30:01] Who says you can't be who you want to be

[11:30:03] even if you're a robot brought from the future

[11:30:05] with the intent to destroy things?

[11:30:07] Trans rights! We also have $70.40 from anonymous donating 70-40 for the coolest dragon of them all,

[11:30:18] Komo-o! Pokemon Black and White 2 are truly incredible entries that help show me the value of all the little things in games.

[11:30:26] Let's go throw mud slabs at Cynthia's face!

[11:30:29] 240,000 to go chat, can we get there?

[11:30:33] Alright so Team Plasma is done.

[11:30:35] I'm going to escape rope out.

[11:30:36] It might've looked really weird when we first entered but

[11:30:38] I kind of went to this exit here

[11:30:40] But it's just so that the escape rope brings me a little closer.

[11:30:43] Because we have to leave to the left side here,

[11:30:44] so if I didn't checkpoint that before going through the whole...

[11:30:48] Oh!

[11:30:51] Oh, he's a coward.

[11:30:53] He doesn't want to play with my team.

[11:30:57] Oh, my gosh.

[11:31:01] Okay!

[11:31:03] Actually in practice I had one spawn one tile above that as I went to talk to the water so I had to say no and change where I was.

[11:31:08] This is my least favorite spinner.

[11:31:09] I hate this spinner.

[11:31:10] You pass him twice and you have like 1 tile leeway both ways.

[11:31:14] That's also like... there was one more right there

[11:31:19] there's one more i think that was the same one what no because i got on the water

[11:31:23] i think it was out of the water i think it stays though i thought i heard the water. I think it stays.

[11:31:26] I thought I heard

[11:31:27] the water one again.

[11:31:28] Yeah, we won't count

[11:31:28] it.

[11:31:29] It didn't go away

[11:31:30] when you got out of

[11:31:30] the water.

[11:31:30] Oh, never mind

[11:31:31] then.

[11:31:32] I just heard the

[11:31:32] effect and I

[11:31:33] thought it sounded

[11:31:33] like the one because

[11:31:34] there's a slightly different noise

[11:31:38] when it first spawns.

[11:31:39] And then it kind of has a slightly

[11:31:41] different noise that loops endlessly.

[11:31:44] And I thought I heard the first noise.

[11:31:46] Whatever. Anyway, badge check.

[11:31:47] Badge check.

[11:31:48] Yeah, the spinner you pass is like

[11:31:49] the annoying one

[11:31:50] is like the worst one to hit too.

[11:31:52] Yeah, it's got like a mulga

[11:31:53] and jellicent

[11:31:53] and it's just a nightmare

[11:31:54] because of cursed body

[11:31:55] and a bunch of other things

[11:31:56] that can disable moves.

[11:31:58] Time-loss Client, yeah.

[11:32:01] The correct... it has an Emolga that can't hurt you

[11:32:05] so it should withdraw into Jellicent

[11:32:08] So like you should be clicking Earthquake on Emoga and it's weird because

[11:32:10] it just doesn't withdraw.

[11:32:14] Yeah, he'd still have a really awkward situation there but...

[11:32:16] You have all 8 badges! You did it!

[11:32:18] Yeah! We can finally enter the victory road

[11:32:21] uh i think that this victory road theme clears like every single other one

[11:32:27] especially the black white one with the badge build up i like i will swear that

[11:32:31] that is the objectively best or uh yes same yes trying to remember i'm glad that one agrees

[11:32:37] with me i like the whole and win better. Hoenn one?

[11:32:40] It's okay.

[11:32:41] Hoenn one is okay.

[11:32:43] It's better than Sinnoh.

[11:32:44] No.

[11:32:47] Sinnoh one is pretty rough.

[11:32:47] It's okay.

[11:32:49] I think the Gen 1 one is worse.

[11:32:49] It's just a generic one.

[11:32:55] Anywho this Drifblim is gonna spam Stockpile

[11:32:57] I've had this Drifblim go to like plus 3 defense with Stockpile

[11:33:00] and then use a move called Batten Pass to

[11:33:02] swap into Claydol. And that's

[11:33:04] really bad because Claydol is super bulky

[11:33:06] defensively, and putting additional

[11:33:08] defense on top of it is horrible, especially when

[11:33:10] this thing has Earth Power. That's kind of like one of those

[11:33:13] like freak situations though where you have to miss like two rock slides for that to happen but

[11:33:17] it's still like one of those things that just like why anyway so here's the only reason we're Why?

[11:33:26] Anyway, so here's the only reason we need to use Strength. At least one of two reasons

[11:33:28] We need strength is for this push boulder here

[11:33:32] This Psyduck Is so strong. Yeah, Psyduck is so strong.

[11:33:35] Yeah, the Psyduck is a tank as evidenced by the death counter being half-Psyduck.

[11:33:43] Alright, very chill spinner there. You have to be pretty precise in your movement here it's a little bit tighter than it looks so you can only be like two...

[11:33:50] You can only be one tile away from the tree.

[11:33:52] Yeah, you have to be up against those trees to not get seen.

[11:33:58] Funny movement there to get the spinner set up.

[11:34:01] 100% not safe but we're just gonna go for it.

[11:34:05] The spinner is deaf so he can run fast yeah full

[11:34:08] restore on the rock and we're going to fight this trainer because the the one on top spins

[11:34:13] but this one doesn't so let's fight them and then is the last spinner though it's just kind of

[11:34:22] unfortunate we don't really have a good setup for him because like how its set

[11:34:25] up here it's too narrow to really try and do anything crafty.

[11:34:29] Yeah, Zooter Road is pretty fast overall. There are a bunch of fights but the movement sections are really quick between the fights.

[11:34:37] So, how about a of donations for us?

[11:34:40] You got it! We've had $25 from Jay, loving the event so far.

[11:34:45] I have been watching GDQ for years but this one feels extra special

[11:34:48] for me as its the last one before I become an idol. I've been watching GDQ for years, but this one feels extra special

[11:34:48] for me as it's the last one before I become a dad.

[11:34:51] I can't wait to have a little buddy to watch future events with!

[11:34:54] Keep up the awesome work! Let's get that Cynthia fight

[11:34:57] which we did! Thank you again!

[11:35:01] Congrats on Spitterless.

[11:35:03] It is actually really crucial to not get extra XP in Challenge Mode.

[11:35:08] Too much can be a problem in the E4.

[11:35:10] This is the one scary room. This is where

[11:35:12] true gamers show their colors.

[11:35:17] Totally fine.

[11:35:20] It's so hard. It is so... Totally fine. I think that's the only thing school would do at long-distance.

[11:35:20] It is so hard.

[11:35:21] It's hard.

[11:35:22] They, of course, shrink your vision in a room that has like the most amount of turns possible.

[11:35:27] Yeah and dust clouds too.

[11:35:29] You could just hear one and have no idea where it is

[11:35:31] and just start panicking

[11:35:34] yeah because how much so like an item's fine but like an encounter in a desktop

[11:35:38] has like 20 seconds right uh 12 to 15 i want to say it is

[11:35:41] like 15-ish is usually what

[11:35:43] I just lump it to. That kind of stinks

[11:35:45] so that's not good. You don't want that? No

[11:35:47] and only the dust clouds and like the shadows

[11:35:49] on the bridges can give us

[11:35:51] items everything else is guaranteed to be an encounter. If we could, getting a like

[11:35:56] steel gem from the cloud would actually really sick. It's possible to manipulate one but the

[11:36:00] time it saves versus the time it takes to manipulate just doesn't seem worth it on paper,

[11:36:04] at least any time that I've kind of peeked at it.

[11:36:07] Sturdy there, sort of rock sliding to try and flinch didn't work out.

[11:36:10] The challenge boogers are still faster after a rock slide.

[11:36:13] Yeah, that's actually really nice here because you want to have more Challenge mode, you're still faster after it rocks up.

[11:36:15] Yeah, that's actually really nice here because you want to have more health.

[11:36:16] We were level 70 by the way.

[11:36:19] And we had not started the Elite Four.

[11:36:20] Just for clarity.

[11:36:22] It's actually kind of crazy how high level you wrap up

[11:36:25] this game for this category with.

[11:36:28] And again, all the Pokemon are higher level too and they're

[11:36:29] still not even close to where we're at

[11:36:31] which is pretty incredible.

[11:36:35] So how about a couple more donations

[11:36:37] to take us through this fight?

[11:36:39] Absolutely, we've got $25 from Katie Ghosty.

[11:36:43] $25 for my favorite underrated Trans Pride slug baby, Shellos. Pink and white or white and blue? All forms are perfect.

[11:36:51] Shell shell shallows!

[11:36:53] East or West form?

[11:36:55] We just said all forms are perfect i know but like which one's

[11:36:59] already fitting they're perfect but you gotta have a favorite yeah wesley for sure

[11:37:03] i like blue the pink and brown is so cool. Oh, that's not easy.

[11:37:08] I don't remember which one it was.

[11:37:10] Okay the pink or brown one whatever that is.

[11:37:14] We also have $501 from Eric asks

[11:37:19] I never played any of the black and white games,

[11:37:20] but I did choose 501 Oshawott as my starter in my playthrough

[11:37:22] of Pokemon Legends Arceus.

[11:37:24] Same!

[11:37:26] I was Cyndaquil.

[11:37:27] Oh, speaking of Cyndaquil. Oh, speaking of

[11:37:29] Cyndaquil we have $25 from

[11:37:31] Podling152 joining the favorite

[11:37:33] Pokemon bandwagon! Cyndaquil's

[11:37:35] the best pokemon by far. It's

[11:37:37] the pokemon I care most about and will own it for the rest of my

[11:37:40] life. It drives my decisions

[11:37:42] in any game that has it. It alone

[11:37:44] could send Cynthia's team to Lavender

[11:37:46] Town.

[11:37:48] Alright, last rival fight here. We only only fight them five times which is nice because

[11:37:51] black white one you fight your rivals like half a dozen times each um just praying for

[11:37:55] no swagger here all right that's unfortunate i have full heels to take care of it though

[11:38:04] otherwise everything else is pretty easy everything goes down one shot here

[11:38:08] um we're kind of coming up to the e4 the e4

[11:38:10] is where um the like challenge and challenge mode kind of coming up to the E4. The E4 is where

[11:38:11] the challenge and challenge mode really start to ramp up again

[11:38:14] The teams and movesets that are in

[11:38:18] the E4 are absolutely cracked

[11:38:21] The first one we'll going to be taking care of

[11:38:23] is Marshall,

[11:38:24] just because we're kind of in the best situation

[11:38:27] for the best outcomes

[11:38:29] for dealing with that fight.

[11:38:31] Basically what we're going to be hoping for is

[11:38:33] that we flinch as much as possible because in a similar

[11:38:38] situation to Clay, Marshall has speed dropping issues that they have to be careful of mainly with yeah

[11:38:50] bulldoze and rock tomb off of throw so we never really get an opportunity to set up

[11:38:54] because we're going to have to swap

[11:38:56] to get our speed back and immediately after

[11:38:59] throw is

[11:39:01] me and Xiao with high jump kick which

[11:39:02] absolutely annihilates us. So he can't set up on Ninja out either.

[11:39:06] So then third comes out

[11:39:07] Conquldurr. Conquldurr is a problem because

[11:39:09] it's holding a flame orb and has the ability Guts

[11:39:11] which means that it deals

[11:39:13] a crap ton of damage when its burned.

[11:39:15] Because Guts, instead of penalizing you from being burned

[11:39:18] actually doubles your attack power or something ridiculous like that

[11:39:21] So Conflictor just does a crap ton

[11:39:24] of damage to us so we're really praying for the flinch here.

[11:39:27] If we don't flinch, we're praying that

[11:39:29] we did just not

[11:39:30] enough damage with Iron Head such that

[11:39:32] Iron Head plus a tick from Burn

[11:39:35] will cause Marshall to heal. Otherwise we'll just lose more time.

[11:39:38] So this is absolutely going to be

[11:39:40] a safety save here because I can

[11:39:41] just very easily get wiped

[11:39:43] here. Very scary if you can just run

[11:39:45] through all of your

[11:39:47] pods this is like the scariest fight in there yeah

[11:39:50] this fight is such a make it or break it fight and like yes

[11:39:53] it's i mean i know myself i flinched three times in my

[11:39:57] fullback I mean, I know myself. I flashed three times in my World Record game.

[11:39:58] Yeah, your World Record run was quite a bit behind going into the E4, wasn't it?

[11:40:03] And you just completely clutched it out with getting every single range

[11:40:06] and every good thing that could happen.

[11:40:08] Well, it wasn't perfect but you know

[11:40:09] this right yeah tt is saying it was all luck in those skillets hey i've been trying to take

[11:40:16] the record it's just been a little slow for me, alright?

[11:40:20] Yeah, martial time as described very scary. A lot of sturdy

[11:40:25] Bangs or flinches

[11:40:28] Banger theme that induces just complete anxiety.

[11:40:30] Yeah.

[11:40:31] It's so good, and then the red barb thing ruins it.

[11:40:34] True.

[11:40:36] Oh! That's a crit!

[11:40:38] Who needs to flinch with that?

[11:40:41] Let's go. See now that was skill.

[11:40:45] Okay.

[11:40:47] No luck involved either.

[11:40:49] I don't know if I got a curtain in mind but you know hey

[11:40:53] anyhow yeah this is looking like better luck here yes sort of skill

[11:40:57] better skills sorry all right okay no such luck that time.

[11:41:02] Yeah, that's gonna be healed.

[11:41:05] That's gonna be heal for sure.

[11:41:06] Me too actually.

[11:41:09] So here is the Flame Orb that was mentioned by TTS.

[11:41:12] Now the attack is even higher this poor dove he's going out though

[11:41:17] i already got it perfect

[11:41:20] see using those max survives really clutch. Stone Edge.

[11:41:23] Stone Edge missed, that would have been bad!

[11:41:25] Yeah.

[11:41:26] Marshall is healing.

[11:41:27] So we're gonna get the heal here because now it is below 25% HP.

[11:41:31] Is this a full restore?

[11:41:32] Yeah, it's a full restore.

[11:41:33] Oh, that's actually cool

[11:41:34] yeah it's fine getting rid of the burns and no more guts i mean we're gonna get it back

[11:41:39] yeah right all right so there's Conkle that are done.

[11:41:45] So just like the gym leaders,

[11:41:47] the E4s all also get an extra poke

[11:41:49] except for the champion

[11:41:49] because she already has a full team.

[11:41:51] So Marshall's new poke is Lucario

[11:41:54] but Lucario,

[11:41:55] but Lucario's a joke.

[11:41:57] He just EQ-in it, guys.

[11:41:58] Yeah, steal type moment.

[11:41:59] Yeah, so it's basically just the same as normal mode

[11:42:00] except you're begging

[11:42:01] like even more

[11:42:02] for flinchies and crits,

[11:42:03] so... I would really like a flinch here a crit so uh i would really like for fun cheers sticking at full hp would be

[11:42:08] really clutch actually it's a good thing that the gift you max revised because all these attacks do

[11:42:14] more than half yeah the mac survives as a gift is actually really clutch

[11:42:17] from rude and uh giant castle they give you a lot of really nice items in this run just for free

[11:42:21] just doing the story stuff which is pretty cool yeah which is nice which is why we don't have to

[11:42:25] do any shopping for like full restores or anything at the end.

[11:42:27] Yeah, you shop at like the one and a half hour mark

[11:42:29] And then never again.

[11:42:30] Like it's ridiculous.

[11:42:33] Well that's Marshall!

[11:42:35] Yay! The fear!

[11:42:37] One down four to go.

[11:42:39] No one death is not too terrible.

[11:42:41] So Grimmsley's gonna lead Lai Pard

[11:42:43] Lai Pard has fake out

[11:42:45] It's always going to click at turn 1

[11:42:47] so on the fake-out turn I'm just going to use my Max Elixir to get my

[11:42:49] PP restored and that'll take care of the rest

[11:42:51] of the run here.

[11:42:54] It also has a normal gem

[11:42:55] which will buff fakeout a little bit but

[11:42:57] it's not going to be too big of a threat um it'll just start

[11:43:00] cooking night slash after fakeout as well so high crit rate chance there i'm just need to

[11:43:05] be a little bit higher health so that I don't have to worry too much about the last Pokémon that'll come out, which is Bisharp.

[11:43:14] Bisharp has a Quick Claw of all things,

[11:43:17] So it's just got a 1 in 5 chance to outspeed me naturally.

[11:43:20] Yeah, this life heart becomes

[11:43:21] faster because of unverged and its ability which is the crit yeah that's

[11:43:25] the crit that's this is gonna be scary yeah i'm just

[11:43:28] going to heal on the sharp to be safe butarp doesn't actually do a ton of damage, but

[11:43:32] Just because the 1 in 5 chance to

[11:43:34] like get hit with

[11:43:36] Quick Claw

[11:43:45] Definitely Definitely want to heal this. You have to heal anyway for the next fight.

[11:43:47] Yeah, yeah.

[11:43:49] It would just be nice to heal on the next fight.

[11:43:51] Depending on pace you might consider risking this but

[11:43:54] it's just a rough situation to be in i don't remember exactly how much

[11:43:58] the sharp does so we're gonna hear it again.

[11:44:03] Oh that's right! Yeah Grimsley gets Absol in challenge mode again.

[11:44:09] Shoutouts to Pulse for the- giving me that knowledge.

[11:44:15] Alright so here's that heal.

[11:44:17] You could use your fresh waters finally!

[11:44:19] I could! Oh, good call!

[11:44:23] Yeah, keep forgetting this is the gen where high-proportional 200 HP was very nice.

[11:44:28] Super, super powerful.

[11:44:30] Yeah.

[11:44:31] The 120.

[11:44:32] Gen 6?

[11:44:33] It's definitely Gen 7 but... I think Gen 6 is what know it's definitely gen 7.

[11:44:36] I think gen 6 is where I got nerfed though.

[11:44:38] But let's see you down so we can get victory donations.

[11:44:43] You got us!

[11:44:47] We have $149 from Don Juan, who says donating for the cutest dragon

[11:44:53] who could still destroy buildings, Dragonites.

[11:45:00] This fight is kind of slept on quite literally. Gen 4 reference by the way because she's technically in the battle frontier in gen four and she's in this game too which is wild yeah

[11:45:09] but it's community four member it's really cool yeah caitlyn she's sleepy so her lead

[11:45:14] is masharna mashana has hypnosis but it's also holding a zoom lens.

[11:45:19] Is that increases accuracy?

[11:45:21] Yeah, it's holding whatever the lenses that increases accuracy.

[11:45:25] So I think that's what I guess.

[11:45:27] Yes.

[11:45:28] So it does have a little bit higher than normal um hypnosis hit accuracy

[11:45:31] yeah um so kind of unfortunate here but it's okay i'm just really hoping that it clicks dream eater

[11:45:36] now instead of Reflect.

[11:45:41] That's perfect because otherwise I would have to set up another Sword Stance and then plus more Hypnosis.

[11:45:45] In Challenge mode, we try as Hyp, but in normal mode

[11:45:50] it has yawn.

[11:45:51] Yeah, with yawn

[11:45:51] it's pretty much

[11:45:52] a consistent play.

[11:45:53] Yeah, yawn is

[11:45:54] a little more consistent.

[11:45:55] Yeah.

[11:45:56] Because you just set up

[11:45:58] twice and then

[11:45:58] full restore.

[11:46:00] I'm so free, I love it.

[11:46:02] You're making sure this is sweeping through

[11:46:03] this fight now right?

[11:46:04] Yeah everything is a one shot now.

[11:46:06] Caitlyn gets a Metagross in addition to her normal mode team

[11:46:10] It does hold life horde but we never give it a chance

[11:46:12] to attack so we don't have to worry about it.

[11:46:14] That is bullet punch you could

[11:46:16] Yeah, it has bullet punch if you ignore healing

[11:46:18] But you need less than 30 HP for it

[11:46:20] to click bullet punch because you need to less than like 30 hp for it to click bullet punch because

[11:46:22] you need to be below the mineral

[11:46:25] otherwise it'll just go for like camera arm i think is what its most powerful

[11:46:28] move is did you mention why you're doing the

[11:46:31] e4 in this order?

[11:46:32] So we are doing Marshall first because we are in a nice range where

[11:46:35] We aren't just going to throw Conquldur into healing right away

[11:46:38] Because that gets to be a big problem

[11:46:42] Grimsley is second because he's kind of

[11:46:44] a free fight and lets us use our Max Elixir to take care

[11:46:46] of everything else, otherwise we're going to run out

[11:46:48] of moves. Caitlyn is next just cause it makes the most

[11:46:52] sense because the last is Chantal.

[11:46:54] Now,

[11:46:54] the reason that Chantal is last

[11:46:56] is because we're basically

[11:46:57] all the way up to this point

[11:46:58] have been making sure

[11:46:59] that X-Cripple gets

[11:47:01] all the experience

[11:47:01] and EVs

[11:47:02] that it needs in speed

[11:47:03] because

[11:47:04] this Chandelure

[11:47:05] is holding a Choice Scarf,

[11:47:07] which drastically improves

[11:47:09] your speed at the cost of locking you

[11:47:11] into one move. And Chandelure has

[11:47:13] Fire Blast, and with

[11:47:15] the special effectiveness

[11:47:17] it'll absolutely one-shot us

[11:47:20] with it. And we can't really

[11:47:21] stall because that's way too slow to do it.

[11:47:24] So when we do Cha chantal last like this

[11:47:27] we barely outspeed the chandelure depending on our level

[11:47:30] like we'd speed it but like one or two like in raw speed

[11:47:34] it's very close.

[11:47:40] Yeah, it's really cool how this gem lets you actually approach the E4 in whatever order you want.

[11:47:40] There's some cool routing, so there's even a reroute of that.

[11:47:42] I know Blacklight 1 changed fairly recently, so it's cool to see.

[11:47:46] Again?

[11:47:50] No, well... Oh, good. Oh yeah! recently so it's cool to see again no that was when you did it oh yeah yeah like guys a couple years ago i guess yeah that is a great craft because this

[11:47:54] is 11 and 16 range down from 12 and 16 because i skipped two trainers after marlin um so getting

[11:48:00] that range by guaranteeing the crit is actually really clutch did we mention that jangler has a

[11:48:05] choice card yes yeah you can keep mentioning it though because it's scary

[11:48:10] it deserves all of the attention because it's easily like the worst folks that we have to deal

[11:48:14] with doesn't look like anybody so because we got because we got the Koffa range,

[11:48:20] We didn't have to worry about Will-O-Wisp burn or

[11:48:22] Shadow Ball or anything like that which is really sick

[11:48:24] Because we can go into Iris full health

[11:48:26] Without much of a problem

[11:48:28] Iris is a bit of a tricky fight to navigate, and it's not always clear what the best play is.

[11:48:33] There are basically two different ways to handle the fight.

[11:48:35] There's leading with Swords Dance just so you can one-shot everything

[11:48:38] And then there's one where you basically just yolo a hydragan range under

[11:48:41] the assumption that you just won't or either that you'll get it or that

[11:48:45] you'll like flinch it, because it has focus blasts or fire blasts. They don't

[11:48:49] miss one of them either because they're 70 and 85% accurate, so

[11:48:52] it's pretty common

[11:48:54] to not take damage just between

[11:48:56] all those different factors.

[11:48:58] That's what I'll go for content

[11:49:00] because I believe we're doing really good on time.

[11:49:01] I can't, I don't have access to a timer but

[11:49:03] I think we're doing good on time right?

[11:49:05] Yeah it says 3 55 right now.

[11:49:09] Well guys it was great being up here!

[11:49:12] We could do one quick victory donation before we get into this fight.

[11:49:15] Yeah, because I'm going to do a safety save just in case the worst happens for some reason.

[11:49:26] Is there any good donations? You got it. We have got $5 from ISBN girl.

[11:49:32] I want to hear some Pokemon puns, so how about

[11:49:35] a $5 donation train?

[11:49:37] I'll start. Which pokemon

[11:49:39] often gets lost in the wash?

[11:49:41] Sock

[11:49:44] 5! Popicle Sock. Oh! I like that one.

[11:49:46] The crowd liked that one.

[11:49:49] Also, uh...

[11:49:50] I personally think this is the best champion theme in the game.

[11:49:53] Do we have any Irish fans out back here for her theme?

[11:49:56] I don't know why

[11:49:57] it's slower, but

[11:49:58] whatever.

[11:49:59] So good.

[11:50:00] I was going to say

[11:50:00] which Pokemon do I

[11:50:02] usually do in my

[11:50:03] runs?

[11:50:04] Throw.

[11:50:07] I couldn't think of a better way to phrase that in time,

[11:50:09] anyway Iris Time! Look at that!

[11:50:11] Look how cool it is! It is

[11:50:15] That's definitely like one the best champion teams. It's way up there.

[11:50:18] It's such a huge step-up from Black and White 1!

[11:50:21] Yeah, well...Halder's isn't that great but anyway, Halder is still good.

[11:50:26] 5 and 16 range by the way.

[11:50:30] Gets these? No problem.

[11:50:33] And it gets every time! Never a problem

[11:50:42] i'd say mostly chilling now until the hatchet comes out yeah so because I took no damage from Hydreigon that's really good because Haxorus does

[11:50:46] actually quite a bit of damage. If I took any

[11:50:49] damage from Hydreigon, then I would have to

[11:50:51] hyper on Hegron because

[11:50:53] Hegron isn't as threatening and usually will pick the move called

[11:50:55] Automatize that's like a setup move

[11:50:57] so it basically gives us the free turn to heal before we deal with

[11:51:00] hacks because hacks is by far the most threatening thing on this team

[11:51:08] So, it'll come out right after aegron here.

[11:51:11] This one has sturdy, right?

[11:51:13] Aegron does not have sturdy but Haxorus

[11:51:15] does have a focus sash so

[11:51:17] since Iris is

[11:51:19] not healed yet this is actually kind of free, because I'll just Earthquake to proc the Focus Sash.

[11:51:22] It will probably pick D-Dance—probably is the keyword here.

[11:51:25] And then Iris will heal it and that will give me a free turn to knock it out.

[11:51:30] There's a Focus Snatch activated and

[11:51:32] there's a D-Dance!

[11:51:36] Basically, free from here at this point?

[11:51:38] Yep, yep.

[11:51:44] Alright, GG's. I just have to not misclick against Archeops.

[11:51:50] That is really hard.

[11:51:52] Yeah, right.

[11:51:56] No throne for content.

[11:51:59] Whoops!

[11:52:02] Alright and with that we are the champions of Unova.

[11:52:07] Time's not yet.

[11:52:08] Time is coming up.

[11:52:09] Yeah time will be on the fade out after um the trainer card

[11:52:14] stuff pops up

[11:52:14] and it shows

[11:52:15] congratulations

[11:52:16] yeah

[11:52:17] congratulations

[11:52:18] you're champion

[11:52:18] so

[11:52:19] yep

[11:52:20] good

[11:52:20] alright

[11:52:21] I guess

[11:52:22] we can

[11:52:23] kind of start

[11:52:23] working on some

[11:52:24] shout outs here. Yeah

[11:52:25] Shout out to the dspsr pokemon community

[11:52:27] um, we are all super helpful and anyone who wants to come and

[11:52:32] Join the community and start learning how to speedrun.

[11:52:35] We have a lot of resources available, we have a Discord

[11:52:37] that you can join and ask about.

[11:52:39] Shout out to everyone

[11:52:40] that's kind of helped me get to the point where I am

[11:52:42] today in speedrunning.

[11:52:44] That is pretty much everyone on the couch here anyone on the backcouch I'm going to be talking about the things that we've been doing today in

[11:52:47] speed running. That is pretty much

[11:52:49] everyone on the couch here,

[11:52:51] anyone on the back couch,

[11:52:53] everyone in my Twitch chats, friends,

[11:52:55] family and all of that fun stuff. It's been a really fun time speedrunning. I've been watching GDQ since 2015, so to go from being like a long-time viewer

[11:53:00] to all of the sudden be on the couch...

[11:53:03] Well not even on the couch, but on stage doing the run!

[11:53:06] Yeah, I'm in the hot seat

[11:53:07] doing it you know that's uh pretty crazy you know

[11:53:11] seeing both sides of um you know the gdq stage it's really humbling it's been an

[11:53:16] awesome experience my couch has been absolutely amazing.

[11:53:19] Give them a round of applause.

[11:53:20] They've been giving you guys some top-tier commentary.

[11:53:24] All right, time is coming up here.

[11:53:25] Time is coming up on the fade out here once everything goes black.

[11:53:28] The world's slowest fadeout.

[11:53:30] And time!

[11:53:34] Easy mode, yes!

[11:53:36] Which is actually harder!

[11:53:40] So are you guys ready to run it back?

[11:53:44] I think I need to grab some food.

[11:53:48] Would you like to know your time? Yes, please.

[11:53:51] 32458.

[11:53:53] That's not too bad.

[11:53:55] We had quite a few deaths.

[11:53:57] We first tried Elisa which I think saved

[11:53:59] a lot of time because that's the most taxing fight to lose time on.

[11:54:04] You guys got time to do some shoutouts?

[11:54:06] I'm sure Tech is going to need a minute here to set up stuff for Fight Cynthia

[11:54:09] so if you want to do some shoutouts yourselves...

[11:54:12] Yeah just go ahead and start getting into it.

[11:54:16] Shoutouts to Skoa, and

[11:54:18] shoutouts to Minnow

[11:54:20] as well for finding a bunch of stuff with this game.

[11:54:22] Yes, shoutout to those two. They were the pioneers.

[11:54:25] A lot of the white shoes got...

[11:54:28] Just absolutely I don't know what we would do without those two for this game.

[11:54:33] Uh, what was I gonna say?

[11:54:35] Oh yeah make sure you follow TTS4Life on Switch

[11:54:38] uh it streams this game a lot and also Black & White 1

[11:54:41] maybe some other stuff in the future too

[11:54:42] I dunno, maybe some COD also Black and White 1. Maybe some other stuff in the future too, I don't know.

[11:54:43] Maybe some COD! But yeah, ice cream's a lot

[11:54:46] go check them out, go support them. My only plug is

[11:54:49] if you want to see more DS Pokemon speedrun stuff

[11:54:52] you can watch my Diamond Any% run that's super glitchy

[11:54:55] from AGDQ this year, that was a good time

[11:54:57] Very different from this run and much shorter

[11:54:58] Alright, so

[11:55:00] are we ready to do Cynthia?

[11:55:03] Sure to do Cynthia? Sure.

[11:55:07] I think so.

[11:55:08] I think we are.

[11:55:28] yeah i did a hot fix i did it i'd like to be on for you know maybe hard cold silver

[11:55:33] that would be sick wonder everyone's favorite video game.

[11:55:37] And shout-outs to Truly Discord, they know who they are.

[11:55:41] Don't know dogs for life.

[11:55:43] Shout-out to Billy's blog.

[11:55:46] All right, so it's Cynthia time, right? How are we going to go?

[11:55:50] We have to relearn Mudslot.

[11:55:52] Yeah, I got to find a hard skill and relearn Mudslot.

[11:55:55] Anyway so just kind of got some postgame stuff here that we've got to deal with quick. I'm just mashing through it. It's not a big deal.

[11:56:00] The pearl land evolved! Oh my gosh.

[11:56:01] Yeah, that's right.

[11:56:02] Wow!

[11:56:04] But we do need to go do some shopping.

[11:56:06] I need an X Speed in order to win the fight because otherwise Garchomp outspeeds me and it's a bad time.

[11:56:10] So...I gotta go do that, then buy a couple Forest Stores for safety.

[11:56:15] We can actually squeeze in a couple donations while we run around here real quick.

[11:56:19] I would love that.

[11:56:21] We have got $885 from Sky

[11:56:27] donating for my favorite little friend Creepy.

[11:56:30] Also, hey!

[11:56:31] Trans rights!

[11:56:37] $282 from Chris M.,

[11:56:39] for my favorite Pokemon Gardevoir.

[11:56:43] and see these awesome runs in person.

[11:56:45] Shout out to all the awesome people behind

[11:56:47] the scenes that make these events happen.

[11:56:50] Yeah this is where you'd have to go to buy x items by the way

[11:56:56] we can do a few more while this happened yeah sure thing

[11:56:59] we have 130 dollars from addy joe Jo, a donut for my favorite glow-up Pokemon and go to sweeper Gyarados.

[11:57:07] We drag and dance into victory!

[11:57:10] That's fair.

[11:57:12] $250 from Filament, what a prize set!

[11:57:15] Front Loading Imagination is here for Pokemon and Ruby's Mom's Blankets

[11:57:20] In case you've forgotten all of those incredible Pokemon prizes,

[11:57:25] You can be eligible to win those with just a simple donation.

[11:57:29] That's right. Shout out to the community members who donated.

[11:57:32] I know Greta Icevixen donated a bunch of

[11:57:34] pearlers for you guys.

[11:57:35] Yeah!

[11:57:36] They did an amazing job

[11:57:37] with them.

[11:57:38] Shout out to everyone else

[11:57:39] who donated prizes

[11:57:40] for this segment.

[11:57:42] Yes!

[11:57:43] Oh, whoa. What's this? Yeah! Whoa.

[11:57:45] What's this?

[11:57:47] What's your name?

[11:57:51] Oh, you didn't save.

[11:57:53] No... I didn't see it's Mud Slap either,

[11:57:56] I'm just dropping the ball now.

[11:58:00] This one doesn't count if you...

[11:58:02] Where is the Purrloin as well?

[11:58:04] No Purrloin, no Mud Slap. Just Spiritomb.

[11:58:06] This is about your Mickey Mouse win, man.

[11:58:10] Alright so what's your strategy here TCS? What are you going to do?

[11:58:12] Well first thing I'm gonna x-speed because

[11:58:14] I need to become faster than Garchomp

[11:58:16] otherwise we're going to have a severe problem.

[11:58:18] Otherwise, I'm willing to set up to plus four.

[11:58:20] That's been not great for setting up here

[11:58:23] but also not great.

[11:58:24] It has double team.

[11:58:25] Good player just hits.

[11:58:26] Oh and Hypnosis!

[11:58:28] 700%! Goats hit! Let's go!

[11:58:31] All skill!

[11:58:34] Only goats can get through double-team.

[11:58:37] The extra girl is in fact a goat.

[11:58:39] Yeah, this seems... Is it the exact same?

[11:58:41] No, it's one spike.

[11:58:43] It's got one difference. It's Electros-

[11:58:45] I mean no, it's Glaceon over Roserade.

[11:58:47] Right right right. I forgot, it's the white two teams

[11:58:49] right right right yeah so basically the gen 14 though if you

[11:58:52] weren't familiar with that uh what does all of our teams are

[11:58:55] different like between diamond pearl play oh true yeah basically Oh, true. Basically the plat team.

[11:58:59] Yeah.

[11:59:00] This thing out levels us by

[11:59:01] the way.

[11:59:02] Finally out leveled for the

[11:59:04] first time in two hours.

[11:59:07] There it is.

[11:59:08] The big scary Yard Trump

[11:59:09] level 80. I'm going to go ahead and Two hours. There it is, the big scary

[11:59:11] Archon at level 82!

[11:59:15] And it's...

[11:59:19] I don't even know why we paused, it wasn't even arranged.

[11:59:21] I'm just trying to add some dramatic tension.

[11:59:23] True true.

[11:59:24] This is really an excuse to listen to the music honestly.

[11:59:26] Honestly.

[11:59:30] It's very good.

[11:59:31] As far as super bosses go, Exeggels are so broken.

[11:59:37] It's not like the Rite of Play where you're just so much lower level and your Pokemon

[11:59:42] are straight up worse in the speedrun.

[11:59:45] Icero can handle everything, and you're actually equivalent level

[11:59:48] So it's totally fine

[11:59:52] Yeah time will come up on the Fado and time.

[12:00:00] Thank you all for coming out.

[12:00:02] It's been a blast. I love the crowd, I love the passion.

[12:00:06] Thank you all who showed up.

[12:00:39] Thank you.

[12:00:39] Give yourselves a round of applause. I was not expecting that strong of a reaction.

[12:12:01] and if you haven't seen it we have an incentive open for our upcoming

[12:12:05] trackmania sunrise run Where you have the opportunity

[12:12:09] to upgrade to the Puzzle

[12:12:15] run, it will upgrade the category

[12:12:17] of Trackmania Sunrise to Huzzle 100% and Stunts Any%.

[12:12:23] And I was talking to our runner a little bit earlier today.

[12:12:26] This is apparently incredibly difficult, but definitely something that you don't want to miss.

[12:12:31] We have already raised $2709.38 towards

[12:12:37] that $10,000 incentive.

[12:12:40] That's 27% of the way there with a

[12:12:43] way that you all are speed running these

[12:12:46] donations I know that you all are going to be able

[12:12:49] to just demolish the competition and get this done,

[12:12:54] this incentive met with your donations. As a reminder go ahead when you make

[12:12:59] your donation and scroll down to select your incentive to

[12:13:21] the wolf, the wolf the crow, the dragon

[12:13:31] So if you want to see whatever

[12:13:34] trinket choice you want get chosen, please go ahead and donate for that bid war!

[12:13:42] Music so I'm really excited for these upcoming runs and just wanted to read one donation that was incredibly amazing that just wraps up a little bit of our last run

[12:14:10] we had 79 from lurid sorcerer that says

[12:14:14] Is it too late to get in a dono for my boy Slowpole?

[12:14:21] It might be a little too late.

[12:14:23] But it's never too late to donate

[12:14:25] to Doctors Without Borders here at Summer

[12:14:28] Canes Done Quick

[12:14:46] benefiting Doctors Without Borders.

[12:14:49] So far, you all are speed running to

[12:14:52] all sorts of new heights with these donations.

[12:14:55] We have so far raised $765,000

[12:15:06] and well, 765,000 and well 765 oh 68 dollars it just went up right now so thank you so much for all those generous donations and speaking of which let's take a look at a message from our charity doctors without

[12:15:12] borders we're not sure that words can always save lives but we know

[12:15:21] that silence can certainly kill humanitarian action is to help people in

[12:15:27] situations of crisis our daily work is a struggle and it is intensely medical,

[12:15:35] and it's intense in person. It aims to build spaces of normalcy

[12:15:40] in the midst of what is profoundly abnormal.

[12:15:45] Our action and our voice is an act of indignation,

[12:15:50] a refusal to accept an active or passive assault on the other.

[12:15:56] Let me say this very clearly,

[12:15:59] The humanitarian act is the most apolitical of all acts.

[12:16:05] But if its actions and morality are taken seriously,

[12:16:09] it has the most profound political implications.

[12:16:13] We act not in a vacuum,

[12:16:15] and we speak

[12:16:16] not simply into the wind

[12:16:18] but with a clear intent

[12:16:20] to assist

[12:16:21] to provoke change

[12:16:23] or to reveal injustice.

[12:16:27] The act of humanitarianism comes down to one thing,

[12:16:31] individual human beings reaching out

[12:16:39] to those others who find themselves in the most difficult circumstances

[12:16:45] they reach out one bandage at a time one suture at a time one vaccination at a time, one suture at a time,

[12:16:47] one vaccination at a time.

[12:17:32] Humanitarian responsibility has no frontiers. so so Hey everybody, here we are at SGDQ 2024.

[12:17:37] We are just about ready for our next run and so let's talk a little bit about our next runner.

[12:17:40] Abel is the world record holder for the mario kart ds 32 tracks category as well as in all missions

[12:17:45] he is also in the top 10 overall for time trials and was a former world champion.

[12:17:52] Alright everyone, it looks like we're all set for Abel's Mario Kart DS 32 tracks run!

[12:17:58] Abel, take it away!

[12:18:05] Hello my name is Abel

[12:18:09] I'm a Mario Kart DS player from the UK.

[12:18:11] I'll be running the 32 tracks main category which consists of playing through every track in the game against the CPUs.

[12:18:18] I am delighted to say that on this 4th July July I'm joined by two of America's

[12:18:23] finest players in commentary,

[12:18:25] Puddings and Mikey. Would you guys like to

[12:18:26] say hello? Hello!

[12:18:29] Okay.

[12:18:30] So before anything, I just want to off this um in-game decal which

[12:18:35] some current time trial world champion mk dasher created specifically for

[12:18:40] this run so shout outs to you check Check out his YouTube channel, he's an

[12:18:44] amazing Mario Kart DS player.

[12:18:46] Okay.

[12:18:48] And I hope everybody

[12:18:49] over there is doing well.

[12:18:52] We're going to go straight into versus mode and select our car and character

[12:18:57] dry bones of the egg one

[12:19:03] and set the correct settings to 32 tracks in order.

[12:19:05] Takes a little while...

[12:19:09] Okay, I think we're ready to go! Are you guys

[12:19:13] ready? Ready! Alright ready let's get it all right

[12:19:17] let's get a countdown in three two one

[12:19:22] go okay so mario Kart DS. Here we are.

[12:19:28] So the first thing that we're going to be seeing here is Abel's gonna start blasting out some mini turbos

[12:19:33] If you're familiar with anything you've heard about this game,

[12:19:37] we do a lot of manual mini turbos and we are going to see our first technique here which is snaking.

[12:19:41] So Abel is alternating the direction of his mini turbos back and forth

[12:19:45] And that is in order to keep his boost on straightaways

[12:19:49] and go just a little bit faster. If you were familiar with any kind of insider

[12:19:54] forums in the early 2000s, you heard people complaining about this all day. But we're still doing it.

[12:20:00] Yep, 20 years

[12:20:01] later. Been using a lot online.

[12:20:03] So yeah, we're also going to explain

[12:20:04] why Abel's using the combination

[12:20:07] that he's using right here. So we have Dry Bones and the Egg One

[12:20:09] Now, the Egg One is not necessarily the fastest in terms of speed

[12:20:13] but it's generally considered the best cart for all 32 tracks

[12:20:17] It has very high handling,

[12:20:19] high acceleration

[12:20:20] which also allows it

[12:20:22] to mini turbo

[12:20:23] for a very long time

[12:20:24] and that was

[12:20:26] a very nice blue shell dodge

[12:20:27] and along with dry bones

[12:20:29] it has very low weight

[12:20:31] which also gives it very

[12:20:32] high speed off-road and we're going to be

[12:20:34] going off-road quite a lot during this run

[12:20:36] sometimes it's faster to just go

[12:20:38] straight through a turn and go right through the off-road

[12:20:41] instead of taking turns.

[12:20:43] Two blue shells on you in one race!

[12:20:45] Incredible!

[12:20:47] This is, as you could have told already

[12:20:49] A very RNG heavy speedrun um so we're gonna have to

[12:20:53] adjust accordingly the next track is yoshi falls it features

[12:20:56] a giant yoshie egg in the middle and recently

[12:21:00] in mario kart wii a a very cool tool assisted speed run has been performed

[12:21:05] of the fast lap.

[12:21:06] Do check it out!

[12:21:07] I believe it goes under 10 seconds.

[12:21:09] Yeah they just bounce off the egg in the middle and just complete the lap in like around seven seconds or so.

[12:21:15] Very cool.

[12:21:17] But unfortunately, the egg here is both two-dimensional and non-solid

[12:21:22] So we can't achieve

[12:21:24] our dreams here. But what we

[12:21:26] can do is kind of explain a bit

[12:21:28] of item strategy that Abel's going to be using

[12:21:30] So first off the thing

[12:21:32] is Abel's gonna constantly looking at his bottom screen

[12:21:34] checking to see what the items of the computers are getting

[12:21:37] but also he wants to cycle through

[12:21:39] if it gets like a fake item box that's not going to block any shells

[12:21:41] so he really wants to get rid of that and he wants it off of his racing line

[12:21:45] so he's just gonna keep on cycling through items until he has something like this

[12:21:50] and complete his race as fast as possible. That's one other thing

[12:21:56] I'd like to mention, I am playing on real hardware

[12:21:58] you might be a little confused

[12:22:00] as to why I'm looking at my monitor

[12:22:02] I'm just using the capture preview window

[12:22:04] I can see everything much clearer as well

[12:22:07] as items that are coming and in general it's just

[12:22:10] much, much clearer. So this is Cheep Cheep Beach

[12:22:15] It featured in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, sorry go ahead Mikey.

[12:22:19] Yeah so now we're on Cheep Cheep Beach again it was in a deluxe very fun track

[12:22:24] This is the first time where we are going to start seeing cycles

[12:22:26] so there's gonna be a lot of obstacles in our way on a lot of these tracks, whether it be enemies like Goombas or crabs

[12:22:32] Or sometimes its just natural stuff like water. So you'll see here once we get to the water section,

[12:22:37] the tide's gonna be coming up and down.

[12:22:39] And every obstacle like that

[12:22:41] is going to be operating on a cycle

[12:22:42] which means if we know...

[12:22:44] If we keep track of what the time is

[12:22:46] on the timer on the bottom screen

[12:22:47] then we're able to figure out

[12:22:49] where exactly these cycles are going to be.

[12:22:51] So as you can see right there,

[12:22:52] Abel went into the water while it was low.

[12:22:55] He knew this because of the timer

[12:22:56] and this allows him to go in.

[12:22:58] It goes a lot faster when it's lower

[12:23:00] so we're able to cut that turn right there. And we're going to be seeing a lot more of that later on the run

[12:23:04] sometimes if we slow down because we get hit with too many items

[12:23:08] We won't be able to use certain cycles,

[12:23:10] but that's just another part of the run.

[12:23:12] It requires a lot of improvisation.

[12:23:14] Thankfully, we're gonna be able to make do.

[12:23:17] Yep so okay.

[12:23:19] So unfortunately at that time we were not able to dodge

[12:23:21] the blue shell. Uh, so we're gonna

[12:23:23] I guess spend a little bit of time

[12:23:25] explaining very quickly how we dodge

[12:23:27] blue shells in this game and it's very simple

[12:23:29] It's just you hold your mini turboturbo when the orange sparks out, and

[12:23:33] When their minit...when the blue shell is about to go down and hit you,

[12:23:36] You just release it and jump,

[12:23:38] And you dodge it pretty much every time.

[12:23:40] It's a very large window, about 7 to 9 frames or so.

[12:23:44] So here we are at Luigi Mansion based off of the GameCube launch title

[12:23:49] and we got a fun fact for you! These stairs that Abel's going up right now, if you were to stop on them and then try to spin in place the game will completely hard crash at least on console Due to a missing sound effect.

[12:24:05] So if you have the game right now, go boot it up and try that out. It's pretty funny.

[12:24:10] Incredible! And besides that, not too much going on here. There's these moving trees

[12:24:15] which you have to watch out for. Again, they're on a

[12:24:16] cycle and then you have to carefully navigate

[12:24:18] around the mud.

[12:24:20] Besides that, there's not too much going on

[12:24:22] in this track so let's just enjoy some very clean driving lines from

[12:24:25] abel as we hear our first few set of donations thank you definitely we have it so much love

[12:24:31] coming in for this run right now as a matter of fact fact, we have $25 from Puddings!

[12:24:36] MKDS forever!

[12:24:38] It's such a blast showing off my favorite

[12:24:40] game of all time here at

[12:24:42] GDQ. Thank you, Puddings!

[12:24:44] Thanks, Puddings.

[12:24:51] And we also have five dollars from soul of the medley that says hey abel puddings and mikey good luck on the run today i

[12:24:54] know it's gonna be a good one. Make sure you get

[12:24:57] all the blue shell dodges and

[12:24:59] no shots. Also,

[12:25:01] Waluigi pinball shortcut in 32

[12:25:03] track attempts when able?

[12:25:06] Today.

[12:25:09] Maybe today. We'll see today will be the day

[12:25:13] wonderful do we have time for one more yes yep

[12:25:16] great we have fifty dollars Matster of the Universe that says,

[12:25:20] So hype for Able's Mario Kart DS run.

[12:25:23] Mario Kart DS was the first game I played on the DS and

[12:25:26] I spent so many hours racing online

[12:25:29] though not nearly as well as

[12:25:31] I hope we'll see today. Also hyped

[12:25:33] for the PB run! Much love and support

[12:25:35] for the runners, cast, and crew

[12:25:37] less than three. Thank you so much, Mattster!

[12:25:40] Alright, so here we are. We have made it through the first cup. We're here in Flower Cup

[12:25:44] And we're going to see Abel doing a technique here hopefully called PRB or

[12:25:48] Prolonged Rocket Boost. We lost it unfortunately but what that stands for is

[12:25:52] prolonged rocket boost and by getting the perfect start boost which is a three frame window

[12:25:57] and maintaining your mini turbo so getting your next mini turbo out

[12:26:01] before the boost from your previous one expires,

[12:26:04] you can basically keep your immunity to off-road indefinitely

[12:26:08] until you are either too slow or you miss a many turbo.

[12:26:11] And this was actually discovered on Christmas Eve 2005

[12:26:15] by a Japanese player by the name of Ninsan,

[12:26:18] and it's the greatest Christmas gift we've ever been given.

[12:26:21] Oh boy. It's the greatest Christmas gift we've ever been given.

[12:26:22] Oh boy.

[12:26:26] Yeah, PRB, personally one of my favorite techniques not just in this game but in all Mario Kart

[12:26:28] it's so incredible to see

[12:26:29] it's very demanding on the hands too

[12:26:31] like you can't lose your boost for even a single

[12:26:34] frame otherwise say you're doing a time trial run where you want to hold prb for the entire track

[12:26:39] you're gonna have to start all over again but um yeah for desert hills uh cool track. There's some very cool mushroom shortcuts we can do at the end if we have them

[12:26:47] but Puddingz I believe you had something to say about this track?

[12:26:50] Well actually first off it's not a very cool track. It's actually a very warm track.

[12:26:54] But all of the skyboxes in this game rotate very slowly

[12:26:58] and Desert Hills is the only course in the game whose skybox

[12:27:02] rotates clockwise.

[12:27:04] That will be on the quiz later.

[12:27:06] Incredible.

[12:27:09] Okay, we're going to go to Delfino Square?

[12:27:12] Yup! Delfino Square is personally my favorite track

[12:27:14] I love this one.

[12:27:16] Um, this one's based on Death Metal Plaza and Super Mario Sunshine if you've ever played that one.

[12:27:20] Uh, so there's quite a lot going on here.

[12:27:22] Not only do we have this beautiful scenery going through all these little buildings right here, but we're gonna

[12:27:26] see quite a few different shortcuts on this track. So first Abel is gonna go

[12:27:30] over here and he's gonna cut into this little mud section and perform

[12:27:34] this without a mushroom carefully mini-turboing

[12:27:37] through. There's not a lot of room for spacing right there, so it's very precise

[12:27:41] but Abel has performed it very well. And we're going to see next slide

[12:27:45] another shortcut that we like to call the dock cut.

[12:27:48] If you look to the left once

[12:27:50] you get out of the town section

[12:27:52] You are going to see there is a little surface

[12:27:54] that has a jump that goes onto

[12:27:56] a dock below. You are actually able to jump onto that

[12:27:58] dock and it saves a little bit of time, Ed is going to perform it right here.

[12:28:03] Very nice! Nice! That is much harder than it looks. And I guess one thing

[12:28:09] also to point out with Delfino Square in general

[12:28:11] you saw that the bridge was down right there

[12:28:13] so a nice thing about

[12:28:15] going fast on this track, because you actually get rewarded

[12:28:17] for doing that um it is the faster you are the more likely

[12:28:21] it's going to be that the bridge is down when you get to it and hopefully we're gonna i think

[12:28:26] we're well on pace to get three bridges. Yeah, so far

[12:28:31] so good. We didn't get lightning which is a

[12:28:33] huge time loss so

[12:28:34] looking good. Oh, we've got

[12:28:36] another blue shell coming

[12:28:39] our way and that's a dodge.

[12:28:41] And as you can see the bridge is still flat.

[12:28:44] Luigi's up for blood tonight!

[12:28:46] Oh yeah...

[12:28:46] This is really good pace, yeah.

[12:28:48] 135... or 134.

[12:28:50] Yes, um, The other thing I wanted to quickly

[12:28:52] mention is that as fast

[12:28:54] as we're going it'll be

[12:28:56] very troublesome to catch

[12:28:58] up with the tail end of the CPUs

[12:29:00] because they will be holding very, very dangerous items

[12:29:02] and they will be able to knock you around anyway.

[12:29:05] Yep. Alright real quick Abel let's not forget we're gonna slow down right here

[12:29:08] this is Waluigi Pinball, uh, the mobile we've all been waiting for

[12:29:11] Abel's going to slow down, get an item and hopefully

[12:29:13] That's not what we want to see

[12:29:15] We wanted to get some mushrooms because

[12:29:17] We wanted to attempt something very cool

[12:29:19] that was recently discovered in the last few months

[12:29:21] Right here If you jump off

[12:29:24] that rainbow boost panel and

[12:29:26] move a little bit to the left

[12:29:27] there's a little trick you can do where

[12:29:30] if you line up and hit the wall

[12:29:32] and the grounds at around the same time, and then you perform

[12:29:35] a hop right as you

[12:29:36] hit the ground. It has to be the exact same frame.

[12:29:38] It's a one-frame window. Then you could

[12:29:40] move a little bit to the right

[12:29:42] and hopefully if you do it correctly

[12:29:45] you'll jump forward and upward very quickly

[12:29:47] and hopefully clear an invisible wall and that will allow you to go all the

[12:29:51] way down to the pinball section on the bottom

[12:29:53] this was discovered just a few months ago and it saves around 8 seconds,

[12:29:56] it is incredible!

[12:29:57] Yes so uh...the shortcut I mean really kind of the flashiest thing if you've seen anything

[12:30:02] from Mario Kart DS in the past few months is probably a shortcut.

[12:30:05] It was discovered by two players, ZumoDeCapaya and KwanLongX

[12:30:09] Shoutouts to them!

[12:30:11] And since then... Since April when it was discovered

[12:30:15] The world record on this track has gone from a 1.55 to a 1.35.2

[12:30:21] So huge time cuts overall

[12:30:25] It's just incredible yeah So i'm holding a star here

[12:30:28] just in case um any of the cpus use a lightning so i'm keeping also an eye on

[12:30:35] the bottom screen here but i may as well just start using it in a second yeah we're gonna use it

[12:30:42] right around now coming my way as well.

[12:30:49] I like how he does those. One last thing, I guess we can point out in this track that's not a shortcut is Abel

[12:30:52] also mini-targoing into these bumpers and if he releases one and then comes into

[12:30:57] it, it'll expel him outwards and it'll save just a little bit of time over driving normal lines forward.

[12:31:04] Did you see those two pinballs that he almost hit?

[12:31:06] I did yeah.

[12:31:08] Amazing. Yeah, amazing.

[12:31:11] All right. Shroom Ridge. So this is a track that has a very tricky

[12:31:16] PRB strap. We're going to see if people can hit it no it's fine so there's a lot of things to contend

[12:31:24] with on this track. There's a lot of difficult terrain as we're going to see but also the cars

[12:31:29] are moving in both directions,

[12:31:31] so it's very difficult to know where you are on the track cycle-based.

[12:31:35] If there is any truck that is cycle based,

[12:31:37] it's this one.

[12:31:39] You constantly need to be aware of

[12:31:41] where the trucks and cars are need to be aware of where the trucks

[12:31:42] and cars are gonna be, depending on

[12:31:44] where you're on your track.

[12:31:46] And luckily we usually drive this track

[12:31:48] in the same amount of time every time

[12:31:49] so we know what to expect.

[12:31:52] Yeah although typically

[12:31:53] at the end of lap 3 on one of the very

[12:31:55] last turns there's a specific blue

[12:31:57] car that could be just right in our

[12:31:59] racing line and it's very challenging to deal with

[12:32:01] especially on time trials if you're on a really good run

[12:32:04] you know you get really nervous on lap three and you have to worry about this car you have to

[12:32:08] go on the inside of it and just be on the very edge of the turn almost falling off

[12:32:13] it's very difficult but we usually see it

[12:32:15] pulled off.

[12:32:19] Yes so now we're entering lap three this isn't such a bad pace, oh actually I was just gonna say this isn't such a bad, oh actually I was just gonna say

[12:32:25] this isn't such a bad pace.

[12:32:26] Is that our first lightning?

[12:32:28] No we've had one or two before I think.

[12:32:30] Okay okay.

[12:32:31] I think we've had a couple yeah so

[12:32:32] this will, okay now we got a blue shell

[12:32:34] we need to adjust to. That's so far 100% uh...

[12:32:38] No, we missed one as well.

[12:32:40] Yeah I'm shooting for each one.

[12:32:44] Nothing ever goes perfectly well here.

[12:32:46] I'd love to keep you on a staple.

[12:32:52] So, closing out here we're going to be finishing the Flower Cup and moving on to the Star Cup.

[12:33:00] We are about a quarter way through the run

[12:33:03] Our first truck is going to be DK Pass

[12:33:06] Also starting us in this white finish going to be DK Pass, also Stratus of the Swipe finish.

[12:33:08] So on DK Pass

[12:33:10] it's a very kind of polarizing track

[12:33:12] in our community. A lot of people really like

[12:33:14] it, a lot of people really hate it. It really has to do with

[12:33:16] your opinion on the downhill section really uh but we're going

[12:33:19] to hopefully be collecting a little secret we're gonna wait for able to get up and out

[12:33:26] dodging all those snowmen and snowballs on his way up.

[12:33:29] And that's the magical item box!

[12:33:31] Yes, so this

[12:33:33] item box is very special

[12:33:35] as you can see it gave Abel

[12:33:37] a star in first place. So this item box in total can give

[12:33:42] a few different things usually a star or triple mushrooms which we really love

[12:33:46] in first place especially the star but it can also give

[12:33:49] a single mushroom or

[12:33:50] be dreaded 1 in 200 red shell.

[12:33:54] Speaking of red shells... we just got hit by one right there!

[12:33:58] You think it was from that item box?

[12:34:00] Perhaps. One thing that is notable in this run

[12:34:04] is that red shells are honestly more of a threat to us as racers than blue shells

[12:34:08] and that's because the Redshell AI

[12:34:11] is just devious. It's purely... it was designed by someone

[12:34:17] with very bad intentions, and they can track you down no matter what.

[12:34:22] And they will always have a tendency to come at

[12:34:24] you from the side as opposed to behind you.

[12:34:26] So even your bananas behind,

[12:34:27] you can't help sometimes.

[12:34:29] Yeah, they'll track you down

[12:34:31] no matter what except for when they don't because there are a lot of times where sometimes they'll just give up.

[12:34:36] We've seen before on Abel's stream, um, a red shell is coming towards him and all the sudden it will move straight and fall into the water or something.

[12:34:44] It's hilarious

[12:34:45] how polarizing the red shells are here.

[12:34:49] Oh yeah, there are times

[12:34:50] when the red shells on Rainbow Road will do

[12:34:52] exactly just that, And I would joke,

[12:34:54] I would say they've

[12:34:56] gone into interstellar travel basically

[12:34:58] They'll reach another track in 80 thousand years or something

[12:35:00] Yeah, they've evolved

[12:35:02] beyond us. nice mushroom right there

[12:35:05] okay so this is a fairly average dk pass um a good time here at world record

[12:35:10] pace would be something like uh under 150 times so 14-148 something like that.

[12:35:16] For reference the time trial world record is at 1h42m3

[12:35:20] by Japanese player Taiga, look him up!

[12:35:23] Taiga is very incredible

[12:35:25] I'm sure we're gonna mention to mention some other point during the run, but here we are,

[12:35:28] TikTok clock. So this is another track that is very cycle based.

[12:35:33] We're gonna be seeing a few different things, mostly clock hands, this pendulum and the spinning gears here.

[12:35:40] And we just need to again know kind of where we are on the track and what to expect like am I gonna go go the left of the pendulum this lap or

[12:35:47] I'm gonna go to the right uh but in all seriousness, I think this is

[12:35:51] a pretty straightforward track in terms of

[12:35:54] racing just kind of gotta know where you are when you are.

[12:36:01] Yep and we see some very cool tech. We move back and forth

[12:36:03] on the cogs below down

[12:36:04] there. We always move on the one that's

[12:36:07] moving forward so it boosts us just a little bit.

[12:36:09] And then at the end, you'll see those two spinning cogs

[12:36:11] sometimes they'll

[12:36:13] go back and forth between which ones going backwards

[12:36:15] but we always go on the one that's spinning

[12:36:17] forwards and that will propel us pretty fast

[12:36:20] usually so it saves quite a bit of time.

[12:36:22] Yes, um normally

[12:36:24] I'd be- oh no! A

[12:36:26] front blue

[12:36:28] shell. So that tends to happen

[12:36:30] sometimes, depending on the

[12:36:32] pace you have.

[12:36:35] But yeah, very annoying

[12:36:36] and very difficult to adjust to

[12:36:38] in this run.

[12:36:40] Good tackle though, managed to go inside adjust to in this run. Good cycle, though.

[12:36:41] Managed to go inside. It's faster

[12:36:43] to just go straight through the center of the

[12:36:45] block right there instead of going around

[12:36:47] and hitting those panels.

[12:36:49] Already locking the computers, this is insane.

[12:36:52] We did kind of mention it earlier but there are some characters

[12:36:56] of interest that we're not big fans of. Speaking of, here's one of them right now

[12:37:00] Robb, an introduction to this game.

[12:37:02] He is the heaviest character in the game and by even

[12:37:05] touching him in the slightest

[12:37:06] you will be sent into the Shadow Realm

[12:37:08] instantly.

[12:37:11] More on that later but now we're up to Mario Circuit and we're hopefully going

[12:37:14] to see some PRB from Abel right here.

[12:37:16] He does need to concentrate because this can be very difficult to pull off

[12:37:20] and then hopefully right after we're gonna see a very cool shortcut.

[12:37:25] Yep. pull off and then hopefully right after we're going to see a very cool shortcut yep so as i explained earlier you just kind of keep your community turbos pace them out right

[12:37:30] and you just get to drive on off-road without any problem at all

[12:37:34] yep very nice prV right here and now Abel is going to enter a shortcut and hopefully make it

[12:37:38] this one's very difficult. Yes so right here he's gonna try

[12:37:42] to... Oh! Amazing.

[12:37:45] So that works

[12:37:47] because there is a piece of geometry

[12:37:49] before the wall, that kind of

[12:37:51] raised it up a little bit

[12:37:53] and by doing that you can press R when you're about to go off of it

[12:37:56] and save a significant amount of time over the normal way.

[12:38:00] And Abel's been missing that a lot in practice, but

[12:38:04] we love to see it.

[12:38:06] Yeah, it's also worth mentioning, usually

[12:38:08] what happens is you'll jump

[12:38:10] onto the wall and you'll get stuck

[12:38:12] on the edge just a little bit and you'll need to hop

[12:38:14] on, but right there Ab just perfectly went straight over it

[12:38:18] which is much faster than getting stuck on it

[12:38:22] And sometimes when that happens if you don't expect it

[12:38:24] You'll just go right into the wall coming up after.

[12:38:27] But again, that was just executed absolutely flawlessly

[12:38:30] so huge shout out to Abel right here.

[12:38:33] Thank you. That was very impressive.

[12:38:35] It's looking like a sub-130, which is

[12:38:38] quite surprising and awesome

[12:38:40] in a marathon setting.

[12:38:44] This track's going so well that Rainbow Road

[12:38:46] can go even worse don't worry

[12:38:50] that's a 131 but it's still very very good yeah that was amazing

[12:38:55] awesome now moving on to ashley fortress which is based off of Super Mario Bros. 3.

[12:39:02] Alright, so first things

[12:39:04] first, Abel's going to drive through this bullet bill section. They have very

[12:39:08] strange step boxes, which we'll explain later.

[12:39:09] And now we're moving on and we're going to see some rocky wrenches now.

[12:39:12] We forgot to mention before that the shortcut you saw in Waluigi Pinball

[12:39:16] was also a similar shortcut that you could pull off

[12:39:18] on Luigi's Mansion and Del Pino Square.

[12:39:21] Those are much harder, and save around 1-2 seconds.

[12:39:25] There is also a shortcut that has been theorized through Tool Assist

[12:39:29] on this track as well but unfortunately no one's been able to pull it off just yet.

[12:39:33] But besides that there is still a lot going on in this track so I mentioned those

[12:39:36] bullet bills from before. These guys are really funny they actually

[12:39:40] and you saw right there it got pretty

[12:39:41] close they actually only have a hitbox um

[12:39:44] right on the front so if you hit them in the middle or like on the back side of

[12:39:47] them then you won't get hit at all because

[12:39:49] they only have a hipbox on the front.

[12:39:59] Yeah, former world record video upload of it has like dry bones clearly inside of the bullet bill and I think there's somebody in the comments who was just like

[12:40:02] excuse me? And we're just like no no

[12:40:04] it's all right

[12:40:07] yeah i'd say the trickiest thing about this track for me personally

[12:40:10] is the spiral um having to adjust with a very specific hopping in order to not get a

[12:40:16] very wide line. Anyway we're into lap three now almost done and heading into

[12:40:20] the special cup! Yeah I think we have probably time for

[12:40:24] like one or two donations at the end of this track.

[12:40:28] Fantastic.

[12:40:29] I have $50 from BZ Archer that says, so much Mario Kart and

[12:40:36] Trackmania AND peanut butter?

[12:40:38] Take my money!

[12:40:41] And just to update you

[12:40:42] on the incentive for the

[12:40:44] Trackmania upgrade to the puzzleuzzle 100% plus Stunts Any% run, we

[12:40:49] have raised $4,430 towards that $10,000 goal.

[12:40:55] We are smashing it! Please get those donations in and select that incentive so

[12:40:59] we can see more racing, more TrackMania Sunrise, and more SBDQ.

[12:41:04] Yeah, love TrackMania. Get that funded!

[12:41:09] Alright, Wario Stadium. So here's gonna be a track where we're going to be seeing

[12:41:13] a technique called PRV Reset.

[12:41:15] We already explained PRV but you can actually obtain PRB

[12:41:18] again by...okay nevermind. But!

[12:41:22] You can obtain it again...jeez man! Okay, by going off of a

[12:41:26] mini-turbo and or going off of a mini turbo, or going off of a boost panel

[12:41:29] and it will reset

[12:41:31] kind of our PRB state

[12:41:33] and allow us to

[12:41:35] continue the technique. Oh my god! That's brutal right there

[12:41:37] Wow yeah, Redstone can do that too. They can hit you from

[12:41:40] forward sides anywhere they want

[12:41:42] Yeah we call this Red Shell Stadium

[12:41:44] because for some reason

[12:41:46] red shells just seem to happen at a rate

[12:41:48] much higher here than anywhere else.

[12:41:51] Yeah, there are certain tracks which allow the CPUs

[12:41:54] to cycle red shells more effectively.

[12:41:55] I don't know why.

[12:41:56] This is Yoshi's third and we're only a minute in

[12:42:00] so I'm going to attempt to do some PRB restarts and we're only a minute in.

[12:42:00] So I'm gonna attempt to do some PRB restart here,

[12:42:04] there you go so I'm cutting the off-road

[12:42:06] and then try and do it full lap.

[12:42:08] Yeah, also we're going to hopefully see see I able set up here for a shortcut at the end of the lap

[12:42:14] He wasn't able to do it because the red shell but by doing main turbo and that's another red shell. Oh my god

[12:42:21] Come on, I thought we paid them off enough.

[12:42:24] We need more donations for that

[12:42:26] If you guys keep donating

[12:42:28] we'll have the best luck possible for Rainbow Road

[12:42:30] which historically everything goes wrong there. With enough donations

[12:42:33] though we're going to see a lot of cool stuff. Come on everyone get in your donations so we can see

[12:42:37] a fabulous rainbow road! Yes and Anna's gonna try

[12:42:41] PRB one more time hopefully be able show off gonna try PRB one more time, hopefully be able to show off the full

[12:42:44] PRB. Yeah so there is kind of a meme in the community where it's just like

[12:42:48] why drive right over stadium when you can just drive around all the obstacles and mud instead?

[12:42:52] Nope! I think we will be out of

[12:42:54] lightning by the time this shortcut comes up though

[12:42:56] Yeah it should be okay

[12:42:58] I mean the main goal is to really just

[12:43:00] walk on... oh this is really awkward

[12:43:02] Let's see if I can... It's possible?

[12:43:04] Yes!

[12:43:05] Very nice!

[12:43:06] So by going over the wall there we're able to trip your checkpoint on the other side of the track and respawn there

[12:43:12] And that takes about a second to a second and a half.

[12:43:16] Yes! And then another blue shell at the end. Okay great.

[12:43:19] So moving on to Peach Gardens we didn't get to mention before this is

[12:43:22] We're now in the Special Cup and tracks get a lot harder from here on out um these are some of the most difficult

[12:43:27] tracks in the whole game right here uh so right now we're on peach gardens uh this one's rather

[12:43:32] simplistic but still quite a bit going on um we drive through that little flower bed

[12:43:35] right there it is much much faster than just going around the whole turn.

[12:43:39] We also have some runaway Bradens in the maze so shout out to Chainshot Braden, Super Mario Maker player.

[12:43:49] Everyone in chat, please say hi to Braden.

[12:43:51] Hi, Braden!

[12:43:54] What fun characters.

[12:43:59] Not much else to say about this track except I do want to mention really quick shoutouts to the current world record of this track which actually holds PRB for all three laps

[12:44:05] and it is just incredible. Only two people have been able to hold

[12:44:09] TRV for so long,

[12:44:11] and it's just an amazing

[12:44:13] run, so do check it out!

[12:44:15] Yes, MK Dasher

[12:44:17] and Tiger, Tiger's the current world record holder, I believe

[12:44:20] with a 1-22

[12:44:22] 5-1-1 if memory

[12:44:24] serves me right.

[12:44:26] They are essentially the Messi

[12:44:27] and Cristiano Ronaldo of Mario Cartier's time trials.

[12:44:30] Do check out their world records on mkworldreports.com

[12:44:35] Yep, and as we drive this last lap with Kiesgaard

[12:44:38] I think we have time for a couple donations

[12:44:41] fantastic the love continues to pour in for this run we have 63 dollars from hd rookie that says

[12:44:49] had to drop a donation for my favorite Mario Kart game.

[12:44:53] Any other mission mode enjoyers

[12:44:54] out there? Well, here's a dollar

[12:44:56] for all 63 missions.

[12:44:58] If that crazy pinball shortcut

[12:45:00] somehow gets hit, perhaps I'll add a bit more best of luck

[12:45:03] abel you've got this thank you so much for that donation we

[12:45:07] also have 25 from twirls that says did

[12:45:11] you know that you can still play

[12:45:13] Mario Kart DS online

[12:45:15] in 2024?

[12:45:17] Thank you for that generous donation

[12:45:19] to Doctors Without Borders.

[12:45:21] I'm time for one more.

[12:45:29] Uh, yes. Great! borders i'm time for one more uh yes great we have 15 from dragon cider that says mkds hi

[12:45:36] i have been so hyped for this run mario kart Kart DS is such a formative game for me.

[12:45:47] I remember nights walking down my street in the evenings after school looking for Wi-Fi to play on or getting a ride to the library to play MKDS and RuneScape. Oh, how the times have changed! It's one of the first experiences in a game I was ever actually able to really see progression get

[12:45:50] faster at. Huge thanks to the MKDS community for holding it down for so many years and here's for

[12:45:56] so many more to come good luck abel thank you so much

[12:46:02] something real quick regarding that i used to do

[12:46:04] the exact same thing

[12:46:05] when I was much younger,

[12:46:07] um...

[12:46:08] When I first started out

[12:46:09] playing this game

[12:46:09] back in 2006.

[12:46:11] I would try and look for

[12:46:13] Wi-Fi hotspots

[12:46:13] but we're getting a really

[12:46:15] badly timed blue shell,

[12:46:17] not enough time to drift there, and yeah

[12:46:19] and a red shell is adding insult to injury

[12:46:21] It's fine, it's right before Rainbow Road

[12:46:23] we're getting the bad luck out of the way

[12:46:25] Exactly, but yeah I would try and look for a Wi-Fi hotspot so desperately

[12:46:29] to play this game online uh... Yeah. This was before we had um... This was before most people

[12:46:35] had wi-fi connections at home so yeah times are very different back then anyway we're on

[12:46:40] battle castle right now we have only one more lap so we'll explain this quickly um

[12:46:45] very very challenging track there's a lot going on here uh one of the longest tracks in the game at almost

[12:46:51] 1 minute 50 seconds so you really have to endure this naked for a while and there's a lot of

[12:46:56] obstacles in tight corners like the spinning bridge right here. Yeah, I think

[12:47:00] i saw some people in chat freaking out about

[12:47:02] the fact that he was even performing a drift at all on

[12:47:05] the bridge there. It's incredible yeah it takes a lot

[12:47:08] of control and technique to be able to do that.

[12:47:12] But Abel is one of the greatest players in the game.

[12:47:14] He has a top 10 time on this track.

[12:47:16] Oh, unfortunately missed the shortcut at the end here.

[12:47:19] So what you can do is, you can jump

[12:47:21] off the last turn right here

[12:47:23] and hit the finish line as you fall into

[12:47:25] the lava, and you're skipping the last turn, so

[12:47:27] it saves a tiny bit of time. We always do it at the

[12:47:29] end of the race. And here we are rainbow road um again

[12:47:33] historically does not go well at live events but we're gonna see some magic happen today yeah let's

[12:47:39] hope that waluigi backs off just a little bit. Gives us our personal space. There he is! He's dead.

[12:47:44] So... We're going to be doing hopefully two different shortcuts showing off to you today.

[12:47:49] I think we have enough time on lap 1 to do it.

[12:47:52] Here it comes!

[12:47:54] So, we're going to be turning around here...

[12:47:56] We're gonna be falling off here

[12:47:59] and then go for a left here

[12:48:00] but that gives me some time to explain the first shortcut.

[12:48:04] The first shortcut that

[12:48:05] we're going to try in the event is the loop skip

[12:48:08] which was discovered in 2014

[12:48:10] by MK Dasher. Shout out again to him.

[12:48:13] We're going to be going going up the spiral and turning around hopefully again if the items let us.

[12:48:19] If the items led us...

[12:48:22] Like we said, never goes well in live events.

[12:48:26] Yeah, and we're going to be turning around

[12:48:28] And launching ourselves off of the spiral into the loop directly

[12:48:33] Hopefully it will line up just right yes there we go

[12:48:41] that was still very impressive oh i thought i

[12:48:44] was going to make that but anyway let's see if we can try and do the

[12:48:46] pipe shortcut here.

[12:48:48] Usually when you fail that loop skip

[12:48:50] you either hit the

[12:48:52] bottom of the road up ahead or

[12:48:54] you just immediately fall out of bounds.

[12:48:57] Getting to the end of the loop-dee-loop even if you fall off is still very impressive.

[12:49:01] Yes, so we also saw a pipe shortcut there

[12:49:05] So by going to the last of rings turning around and then kind of

[12:49:09] yeeting ourselves off via the road for lack of better term what do you think should i

[12:49:14] try it again yes we got it. No!

[12:49:18] We haven't finished yet and screwed up everything.

[12:49:20] They just don't want us to try.

[12:49:22] It's legacy continues

[12:49:25] for speedrunning marathons.

[12:49:27] I don't know why this always happens.

[12:49:28] We still got some error there, I was very impressed.

[12:49:31] Yes! Uh we should still be able to do the uh

[12:49:34] add-on skip one more time here we go. Yep so as

[12:49:37] we're following through the air here we are actually passing through a couple of key checkpoints

[12:49:40] Yes they work in this game

[12:49:42] And any MKW fans out there

[12:49:46] We do have a functional video game

[12:49:48] and it allows us to respawn

[12:49:50] right near the corkscrew there and just finish the track. So even despite

[12:49:55] all of the obstacles on our way there, we still finished well in

[12:49:59] first, you know?

[12:50:01] Alright. finished well in first, you know. See if he's gone too...

[12:50:03] Yeah the first track

[12:50:05] of the Retro SNES

[12:50:07] Mario Circuit 1, the very first Mario Kart

[12:50:09] track sadly I hit the wall there but we'll the very first Mario Kart track.

[12:50:16] Sadly, I hit a wall there but what you're meant to be doing here is cutting across the sand and basically just avoiding

[12:50:21] the regular terrain and it saves a bunch of time.

[12:50:24] Yeah, we... PRB is very strong especially on tracks like this where

[12:50:30] The most direct route is clearly a straight line across the off-road

[12:50:35] so i mean people have been doing it since the very beginning and this is i think what we

[12:50:40] call like one of the best practice tracks for prb because you have a very easy open area to work on

[12:50:46] it yeah it's actually the prv sandbox of the game for players that are starting out learning advanced

[12:50:51] tech and if you hold PRB for

[12:50:53] the entire track, then

[12:50:55] usually you'll be able to

[12:50:56] complete the whole track

[12:50:57] in about 38 seconds,

[12:50:58] which is incredible.

[12:51:00] Yep.

[12:51:01] So Mumu Farm, this

[12:51:03] was a kind of, again, polarizing

[12:51:06] and very annoying track

[12:51:07] so we have a couple things to contend with

[12:51:09] other than, of course, the computers

[12:51:11] is we're going to be going on

[12:51:13] the walls next to the fence on the right, and we're just

[12:51:15] gonna try to stick as close to that wall as possible throughout the entire track.

[12:51:19] But also have our lovely friends here at Moles,

[12:51:22] And luckily unlike MK64 these moles do operate

[12:51:26] On a consistent cycle. So we know kind of when they're going to come out and also

[12:51:31] they kind of forecast their movement a little bit better. In 64 anytime you go

[12:51:35] over a mole like mold hole there you're just you know rolling the dice

[12:51:40] but we're going to be doing a bunch of different mini turbos back and forth and

[12:51:43] we're also gonna be doing something called a slip drift which is basically kind of using the momentum

[12:51:49] from like falling off a uh surface and landing and we're just gonna immediately start a jerk

[12:51:55] instead of having to hop to start a drift.

[12:51:58] Yeah, so Slipdirt things save just a little bit of time every

[12:52:00] time you do it and before we go

[12:52:02] we just need to say hi to the cows really quick

[12:52:04] they're watching us from the grass right over

[12:52:06] the fence so everyone in chat please say hi to the Kaz.

[12:52:09] Hi, Kaz!

[12:52:11] Hey!

[12:52:13] Okay, so moving on now

[12:52:15] to, I believe,

[12:52:16] GBA Pizza Kits.

[12:52:18] Very popular track from

[12:52:20] Mario Kart Super Circuit

[12:52:22] I think this is for you

[12:52:24] This is my favorite track in the game

[12:52:26] just, I think a lot of people really enjoy

[12:52:28] this track very welcoming for beginners.

[12:52:30] But we're going to be seeing obviously a lot more PRV racing.

[12:52:34] Abel's going to be using the track as a suggestion and kind of

[12:52:38] going wherever he pleases. And this is actually, uh...

[12:52:41] This was the intro track in Mario Kart Super Circuit

[12:52:43] or AKA in Mario Kart Advance

[12:52:45] and I think it's

[12:52:47] probably

[12:52:49] the best track for beginners in terms of wanting a challenge.

[12:52:53] You know, there's a lot off-road and I personally am a bigger non PRV fan here

[12:52:58] but I will tolerate PRV first today. Yeah, we gotta respect

[12:53:02] the PRV it's just one of

[12:53:04] the coolest things you can do takes a lot of skill to

[12:53:06] master and Abel is just airing

[12:53:08] the track off right now

[12:53:10] PRV already laps laps very fast time.

[12:53:12] Nothing. Yeah, we always gotta worry for those computers though.

[12:53:16] 53 seconds that's amazing.

[12:53:20] Yep. Alright so we have GCN Luigi Circuit from Aureocart Double Dash.

[12:53:26] So this is another very PRB-friendly track.

[12:53:29] We're going to be doing a PRB reset once again off the boost panel there

[12:53:33] or we're going

[12:53:33] to get struggle waluigi no we still kept it

[12:53:37] so this track is very chaotic especially in uh versus runs rta oh i think if you stayed to the left a bit more

[12:53:45] at the red shell would have been fine

[12:53:47] I was thinking about that just there

[12:53:49] You can see from the bottom screen

[12:53:51] Waluigi is right behind us

[12:53:53] Yep and he's got another one

[12:53:56] And we can't even block it

[12:54:00] Not sure if we mentioned before but

[12:54:02] when we're in Perch Place the only items you can get are

[12:54:04] Bananas, Greenshell shells, fake item boxes and

[12:54:06] triple bananas if we're lucky. And out of

[12:54:08] all those items, the fake item box is the only one

[12:54:10] that we cannot get rid of red shells with

[12:54:12] so whenever we get one, oh my

[12:54:14] god that was brutal! Whenever we get a fake item box

[12:54:17] we just want to throw it away as quick as possible

[12:54:19] and hopefully put it somewhere where it won't

[12:54:21] get in our way later but

[12:54:22] besides that we just want to hold on to our defensive

[12:54:25] items. There's more red shells oh my gosh yeah so things that i was going

[12:54:30] to mention are obviously you're gonna be doing a lot of pwe reset off of these ramps but also the

[12:54:35] kind of chaotic two-way racing you're seeing in the center of the track is opens us up a lot

[12:54:39] for like a fifth or sixth place computer just launching a blue at us with no time to react

[12:54:45] so it's something where you always gotta be vigilant.

[12:54:51] Okay, we got out alive and I accidentally pressed X

[12:54:53] to drop that banana there

[12:54:55] unfortunately, I've been doing that for

[12:54:57] a bit of the run sadly

[12:54:58] okay, now donut playing I've been doing that for a bit of the run, sadly.

[12:55:00] Okay now Donut Plains 1 it's another flat track from the SNES

[12:55:04] with the aim being just to hold PRB

[12:55:08] for all three laps.

[12:55:12] I believe one of you wanted to touch upon

[12:55:14] the world record history here?

[12:55:17] Yeah, so PRB

[12:55:19] as you can see, Abel had PRB for about the first half of the lap.

[12:55:21] Um, PRB here is usually typically done with the dry bomber

[12:55:25] It's a bit slower than the EGG-1 but has much much higher control and can go a bit faster

[12:55:29] off road so we can hold PRB with the EGG1 here,

[12:55:32] but we have to take much wider lines

[12:55:34] and it's a little awkward.

[12:55:36] As of a couple years ago

[12:55:38] The EGG1 now has the world record for

[12:55:40] PRB on this track It It's a very incredible feat

[12:55:42] to see, some very interesting lines

[12:55:44] are taken to hold

[12:55:46] PRB and still take the turn as tight

[12:55:48] as possible so just huge

[12:55:50] shout out to again MK Dasher andTiger who have been able to perform it.

[12:55:54] And also we want to shout out Canadian player Cole Edwards

[12:55:58] also known as DrMario for having the non PRB world record here

[12:56:02] Even without PRB, this track is still

[12:56:04] very technical. There's a lot of really cool turns

[12:56:06] you can take so shout out to all of them.

[12:56:08] Yeah, there's Scaf Ghost actually snakes

[12:56:10] on that track.

[12:56:13] So Frappe Snowland.

[12:56:14] One of my personal favorites out of any Mario Kart track. I'm gonna see if I can

[12:56:18] do the trick here. Okay so what I did there was um...

[12:56:22] And I believe a red sail is coming towards me.

[12:56:24] Wow, this is unbelievable!

[12:56:26] What I did there was maintain PRV

[12:56:29] go across the edge of the dead zone

[12:56:32] and just cut across it

[12:56:33] you may have seen on the bottom screen,

[12:56:35] I cut quite a large portion there so it's a big time save

[12:56:39] but then we do that last two and three

[12:56:42] slightly more to the right as we don't have PRB.

[12:56:48] Yeah, so really I think the only other thing of note kind of on this track other than

[12:56:51] you know the myriad of obstacles is we need to

[12:56:54] kind of adjust our driving in order to

[12:56:57] deal with the lower traction terrain.

[12:57:01] So, you know,

[12:57:01] adjusting when we release

[12:57:04] things so we don't get snowmanned.

[12:57:06] Yep, we also just go over that

[12:57:08] little snow pillar right there to save a bit of time

[12:57:10] and not much else to say

[12:57:12] about this track so I think it's a very

[12:57:14] good time to relax, grab

[12:57:16] a nice cup of hot chocolate even if it's July

[12:57:18] and we're just going to enjoy some nice driving

[12:57:20] from Abel as we hear more donations

[12:57:22] Definitely

[12:57:24] We have a $5 donation

[12:57:26] from Red Shell IncInc that says,

[12:57:29] I'll see what I can do about delaying the next red shell delivery.

[12:57:33] Thank you for that! We also have $5

[12:57:37] from Jojo07 that says, Mario Kart

[12:57:40] DS was among the first games I

[12:57:42] ever played. I hold it dear to my heart

[12:57:44] and I'm glad to see it being run at

[12:57:46] GDQ by such a talented

[12:57:48] runner. You're doing great, Abel, by the way.

[12:57:50] Can we get some love and chat in the audience

[12:57:53] for Abel right now?

[12:57:55] Abel is just

[12:57:57] incredible, yeah. Thank you so much.

[12:57:59] We also have a $500 donation from anonymous that says MKDS is still my favorite and let's crush that Trackmania incentive.

[12:58:10] Go MSF! And just as an update, we only have

[12:58:15] $4,260 remaining of that upgrade for the

[12:58:19] Trackmania Sunrise Run so if you want to see that run and I

[12:58:22] wanna see that run, go ahead and get your donations in now!

[12:58:26] Alright so actually good segway there we just were

[12:58:30] on the wall there. You. Probably wondering what that is.

[12:58:33] So that is a start

[12:58:33] that we like to call it, the Zagato

[12:58:36] if you know this

[12:58:37] cyclonic chant or the cyclomic yell.

[12:58:40] It's kind of like that

[12:58:41] and renamed it after a former world champion from the Netherlands, Miguel Rodriguez aka

[12:58:47] Zagato and he just kind of pioneered this strat of skipping that last booster panel and just going over

[12:58:54] the wall, and it saves

[12:58:56] a little bit of time, a fraction of a second.

[12:58:58] We like to go for it in Shadow now.

[12:59:01] Smash Bros Melee player might I add

[12:59:03] from back in the day.

[12:59:05] Going back to some of the donation comments,

[12:59:09] yeah I can see that MKDS is one

[12:59:12] of the first games people played

[12:59:14] it's certainly one that evokes

[12:59:16] a deep sense of nostalgia

[12:59:18] and it's

[12:59:20] the game that got me into competitive

[12:59:22] gaming,

[12:59:24] introduced me to the speed running world and here I am almost 20 years later still playing it.

[12:59:30] Happier? I couldn't be.

[12:59:33] We love this game. We the three of us have

[12:59:37] dedicated a lot of time into it.

[12:59:39] We love the community too. Shouts to everyone in

[12:59:41] the community and very nice

[12:59:43] PC2 right here. Real quick

[12:59:45] I just need to mention there's only seven item boxes on this track so

[12:59:48] not a lot of items. Just a fun fact.

[12:59:50] Thankfully.

[12:59:51] Oh yeah well

[12:59:54] before that I quickly just want to shout out

[12:59:56] Laser Trap in the audience as the mario kart ds backup runner

[13:00:00] in case anything happened to me in the last couple weeks but thankfully i'm here um just

[13:00:05] wanted to say hello to laser trap in the audience yep so here we are baby park a fan

[13:00:10] favorite we hate it in this game though uh as you can see it's a lot kind of a downgraded version

[13:00:15] of its double dash counterpart only five laps and everything's kind of muted.

[13:00:21] We don't even want to talk about this track anymore, so if we have another donation or two...

[13:00:26] I certainly do! We have $250 from Biscuit Cakes that says,

[13:00:30] Tight gameplay, engaging commentary

[13:00:32] and a skeleton turtle driving an egg.

[13:00:35] What more could you ask for?

[13:00:36] You all are amazing!

[13:00:39] Thank you for that donation, cakes we also have fifty dollars

[13:00:43] from cesarus this says no more red shells no more no more red shells wait

[13:00:48] wait that's not it i mean no more red shells!

[13:00:51] Thank you for that donation.

[13:00:54] Actually, that reminded me we have a community member who actually donated earlier Charles

[13:00:59] Who his actual license plate is egg one He got a custom license plate is Egg 1.

[13:01:03] He got a custom license plate.

[13:01:05] That is amazing.

[13:01:06] So MKDS imitates life.

[13:01:10] Shoutouts.

[13:01:11] Now we're on Koopa Beach 2 which I believe Abel still has PRV right here.

[13:01:17] No sadly not.

[13:01:19] So yeah, we can use PRV to go just a little bit tighter, go over this grass, seaweed, lily pad.

[13:01:26] We still don't really know what this is.

[13:01:27] It's just kind of here.

[13:01:28] But yeah, not too much going on in this track.

[13:01:31] It's a very quick one, too.

[13:01:32] Just a glorified circle.

[13:01:35] And right here at the end,'re going to jump into the water very similar to badger's castle there's a finish line that extends outward

[13:01:40] and we can jump into the water and save us a little bit of time okay now moving on to n64 choco mountain

[13:01:48] which i'm sure many of you in the audience are probably asking yourselves will he do it

[13:01:52] will he do the weather tempo i'm sorry if to disappoint, there is no such thing here.

[13:01:57] For reference in Mario Kart 64 there is a glitch shortcut you can do at the beginning

[13:02:01] In order to trigger the lap count over the wall, but

[13:02:06] instead we get to appreciate the sights

[13:02:08] of Chukka Mountain in its entirety.

[13:02:10] So Chukka Mountain is a

[13:02:12] very technical track especially at world

[13:02:14] record level it's got a lot of narrow kind of pathways

[13:02:17] and not much going on

[13:02:19] at least visually so it's hard to tell

[13:02:21] where you are and what you're doing

[13:02:23] so especially with those boulders at the end

[13:02:25] knowing like okay can I beat this boulder

[13:02:28] or should I take a wider line so I don't get hit by it?

[13:02:32] And

[13:02:32] this track has seen a fair amount of

[13:02:34] strat development in the past,

[13:02:36] I'd say five or six years or so.

[13:02:38] We used to do a much easier strat

[13:02:40] pioneered by

[13:02:42] Scottish player Matthew Utter who is probably this

[13:02:44] track's biggest fan in the world

[13:02:46] So saddest of him if he's still watching and but

[13:02:49] In 2018, a Brazilian player, Lekuki who you may know from

[13:02:53] Super Mario Brothers 1 speedrunning, former World Record holder there

[13:02:57] actually invented or kind of

[13:03:00] created and theorized a new strap that we use in the world record today

[13:03:05] and is able to go a whole second or more faster than the older

[13:03:09] strut that we used.

[13:03:13] Yes, now heading into lap three.

[13:03:16] I believe there's a red shell chasing me.

[13:03:18] Actually no, a blue shell, I just heard it.

[13:03:22] Not sure exactly where it is hopefully i'm not going to be in the air here oh this is tight and nice hit the wall

[13:03:28] that's okay though uh well hits happen a lot here, though.

[13:03:31] It is pretty tight track.

[13:03:33] There's not a lot of room for error right here

[13:03:35] but we're able to drive it very well

[13:03:37] and ending the run

[13:03:38] We are just going to bounce off these little mountains

[13:03:41] And... Very nicely done moving on we're going

[13:03:44] onto gba luigi circuit yes pda the region circuit

[13:03:49] we call it lc2 uh because there's the second Luigi circuit in the game.

[13:03:53] And this track is very

[13:03:55] difficult, especially for newer players.

[13:03:58] There's a lot of

[13:03:59] off-road, a lot of difficult turns.

[13:04:01] A fun fact about

[13:04:02] MKBS history for you, this will again be on the quiz

[13:04:06] Back in the day when you played Wi-Fi you could only play on 20 of the 32 tracks

[13:04:11] in the game and this was not one of the tracks that was included.

[13:04:14] But when it was picked online by people who had a special

[13:04:18] action replay code, a lot of Japanese players would refer to this track as

[13:04:22] The Maze because they would always get lost on it.

[13:04:27] And then we'd slowly be adopting and calling it the Maze,

[13:04:29] as well. Yeah there's a lot to watch out for on this

[13:04:33] track like those puddles we we come close a little bit.

[13:04:36] Aw, geez, and lightning too. Yeah, it's really bad weather here. A lot of puddles too.

[13:04:40] I think someone needs to put a wet floor sign here. Abel, can you go ahead and press the bottom screen please?

[13:04:44] Certainly.

[13:04:46] There's a red floor sign and as you can see

[13:04:48] The mini-map looks like a man falling down

[13:04:52] Might I add that it looks like a dog stretching monkey

[13:04:59] It's up for interpretation yeah if you have if you see something there that's not the mud floor sign of the dark stretch and tell us about

[13:05:03] it donate do the donation let us know we'd like to hear your MKDS

[13:05:07] theories.

[13:05:09] Yep, and real

[13:05:10] quick before we

[13:05:10] end this track,

[13:05:11] I just want to

[13:05:12] shout out this

[13:05:12] track for now

[13:05:13] being the only

[13:05:14] track where the

[13:05:15] Dry Bomber has

[13:05:16] a PRB world

[13:05:17] record.

[13:05:18] As we mentioned before,

[13:05:20] Dome of Plains 1 now uses the Egg 1 for PRB but this is now the only

[13:05:22] track where Dry Bomber is the fastest

[13:05:25] Again some really tight

[13:05:27] turns we have to really go out of our way to hold on

[13:05:29] the PRB and keep our mini-servos as

[13:05:31] tight as possible. So it's very

[13:05:33] cool to see.

[13:05:35] So Mushroom Bridge here, we're going to hope

[13:05:37] not get pwned by some computers here at the beginning.

[13:05:40] Luckily, we are not face-first in the wall today.

[13:05:43] It's just Yoshi, he's friendly.

[13:05:45] Yeah, they can have a tendency to kind of knock you to the left and ruin your line starting out.

[13:05:51] So here's

[13:05:52] Ocean Bridge, it is

[13:05:55] from Mario Kart Double Dash

[13:05:56] and it's a little bit of a downgraded version

[13:05:58] from what you may be used to

[13:06:00] we can't drive up on the bridge and there's no

[13:06:02] secret sort of pathways but there's still a lot of fun driving to go on here. The cars are

[13:06:08] a little bit easier because they're all traveling in one direction.

[13:06:12] This is actually the site of the final boss battle in the game, Mission Mode

[13:06:16] against Wiggler. Wait! Spoilers for no-one who

[13:06:20] beat all six missions. Come on!

[13:06:23] Not everyone knows that if they didn't get all three stars or just one star.

[13:06:27] It's okay.

[13:06:29] Oh man now I'm gonna get banned from mkds community for spoiling the game

[13:06:35] before we get too far with any spoilers can i cut in with a couple special donations

[13:06:38] yes you guys wonderful we have 25 dollars from nKDS1992 that says,

[13:06:44] Hey Abel Puddings and Mikey.

[13:06:46] Good luck on your run Abel keep going you are doing awesome

[13:06:50] Can't wait to destroy our opponents at the World Championships

[13:06:53] The next week.

[13:06:54] I'm sure we will win this year!

[13:06:56] Hope to meet all you guys soon again, much love, MKDS forever!

[13:07:00] And we also have $25 from Mikey that says

[13:07:05] let's go Abel. This run has been

[13:07:07] so incredible. Much love to

[13:07:09] everyone here and just as a

[13:07:11] real quick update, we only have

[13:07:13] $3500 left of that upgrade for the track media

[13:07:17] sunrise from let's get those donations in

[13:07:21] thank you jay blinn uh just wanted to quickly say that mkds 1992 is in fact the current world record holder on waluigi pinball

[13:07:30] so do check out his run on youtube i believe it's a 135.2 something like that yep very incredible ron it's the shortcut all three laps yeah i've only

[13:07:44] done it one lap so anyway luckily we're showing Chaco Island to you

[13:07:47] just in respect that it deserves.

[13:07:50] This is a very difficult

[13:07:51] and very unliked track in this community

[13:07:54] where these bumps here kind of send you off on direction and ruin your momentum

[13:08:00] And we don't like them. So luckily, we don't have to talk about the track because it's already over

[13:08:03] That's the best outcome

[13:08:08] Okay, so bamanshee Boardwalk

[13:08:09] might be fair to say for my community.

[13:08:12] This is home to the unofficial

[13:08:14] or official whatever you want to call it

[13:08:16] able mascot. We're going to see him right here.

[13:08:18] He's present in other Mario games. It's

[13:08:20] Bubba the Fish.

[13:08:22] It's Bubba!

[13:08:24] Yeah, anybody say hi

[13:08:25] to Bubba in the chat or if you

[13:08:28] have the email, spam it. Don't spam

[13:08:30] it too much but we love Bubba here

[13:08:32] he is kind of a beacon

[13:08:34] of both RTA categories

[13:08:36] in this game, 32 tracks and all missions

[13:08:38] and he appears near the end of the run

[13:08:40] and cheers you on and he appears near the end of the run in both.

[13:08:41] It kind of cheers you on

[13:08:42] and gives you the motivation

[13:08:43] to finish it out

[13:08:45] and finish off strong

[13:08:46] and do your best.

[13:08:47] So we really love Boba here.

[13:08:50] Absolutely.

[13:08:52] And I see that... I that Abel has a banana right there

[13:08:54] we're gonna try to feed Bubba really quick

[13:08:56] Exactly, I was just going to say that

[13:08:58] Here you go Bubba

[13:09:00] That went in his mouth. That went into his mouth. That was insane.

[13:09:05] Yes, we have to add that Bubba has no collision so...

[13:09:08] ...that's why it happened.

[13:09:09] Unfortunately.

[13:09:10] Well, that's the thing though he is a very kind soul

[13:09:12] He could never hurt anyone

[13:09:12] He can't hurt anyone, he just not able to

[13:09:14] But uh, that's why we love him

[13:09:16] He's such a supportive friend

[13:09:18] And um...

[13:09:19] We're about to finish Bansky Boardwalk right here

[13:09:21] We have one more lap

[13:09:22] It was pretty difficult

[13:09:24] track, there's not a lot of room for snaking

[13:09:26] on some of these straightaways, it's very narrow and

[13:09:28] sometimes there's not a wall to protect us

[13:09:30] but we're gonna do our best, we're also just

[13:09:32] going cut off a little bit at the corner right here and um ah

[13:09:35] hitting him again amazing that was wonderful um but yeah besides that not too much else going on

[13:09:41] here we will say our next track is going to be GBA Sky Garden.

[13:09:45] And we're not going to talk too much during the race because Abel's going to be

[13:09:49] performing PRB. He's going to be trying to do a very difficult shortcut that...

[13:09:53] Oh my god, Rob, that was brutal! This is exactly why I veto Rob at the very beginning of my runs

[13:10:00] He does... he IS a trouble maker

[13:10:05] But yes anyway we're moving on

[13:10:07] to GBS Sky Garden and Abel's

[13:10:09] going to be trying some PRB to do a very difficult

[13:10:11] shortcut so let's all

[13:10:13] give Abel the best luck he can get

[13:10:14] and let's see some PRB!

[13:10:16] Yeah, we have $32 from Nforest that says congratulations on pulling off

[13:10:19] the Mario Circuit shortcut Abel! Best of luck to you in

[13:10:22] the rest of the run.

[13:10:24] Shoutouts to Nforest and the balloon battle boys very nice shortcut and is

[13:10:35] going to hold PRV and hopefully do it two more times?

[13:10:39] Yeah, so this uh...is a very difficult strat um

[13:10:42] where basically Abel needs to space all of his major bows out just right so

[13:10:45] he's releasing them right before he's about

[13:10:48] to go over all these gaps.

[13:10:50] And also, you know, maintaining this while driving through

[13:10:53] all of these crazy obstacles across different terrain.

[13:10:57] And this is very good so far. We have some computers that are going to try to ruin our fun here, hopefully.

[13:11:05] Still hanging on fairly well right now. That was pretty easy.

[13:11:09] I think we're gonna see it. We don't see often especially on able streams it's very rare to see a three

[13:11:12] four three but here it is baby three for three prv

[13:11:17] oh my gosh that is that's just incredible. Again we don't see it often.

[13:11:21] Yeah PRV saves a ton of time in this track

[13:11:23] There's a 7 second difference

[13:11:25] between the non-PRV and

[13:11:27] PRV world record here

[13:11:29] Yeah so It really is the make or break

[13:11:32] of the entire speedrun because that's the second

[13:11:34] to last track so you know if you're on world record

[13:11:36] base, the nerves are kicking in

[13:11:37] it is just an incredibly hard feat to see

[13:11:40] but we're now on the last track this is GCN Yoshi Circuit. We're going to see. But we're now on the last track, this is GCN Yoshi Circuit

[13:11:42] We are going to see a PAB shortcut at the beginning right there, very nice

[13:11:46] Fun fact! This track is shaped like Yoshi

[13:11:49] Very neat, look at that

[13:11:51] So I think... I want to give...

[13:11:53] so this is like the last track of the run and we're going to be calling time again

[13:11:56] for third lap but I want to give a quick kind of shout out

[13:11:59] or just encourage people to get into MKDS, you know.

[13:12:04] It's a really fun game. We have a ton of people in the community

[13:16:55] an incentive and therefore it must be awesome onyx mouse it is definitely awesome so you will 100 want to donate for that and if you haven't

[13:17:06] donated already please go ahead to gamestonfic.com and when you are donating towards our fabulous charity doctors without

[13:17:16] borders go and scroll down to select that incentive so that we can have more trackmania

[13:17:22] and more sDQ.

[13:17:29] That was a very intense run

[13:17:32] from Abel there. So, go ahead

[13:17:35] this is a great time to get your water

[13:17:36] refill your tea. If you have cocoa from that

[13:17:39] one particular map, go get

[13:17:41] some more cocoa. It's definitely time

[13:17:42] for it and get yourself stretched.

[13:17:45] Take care of yourself, chat.

[13:17:46] We'll be right back right after this.

[13:18:05] We'll be right back. All right. Thank you again so much for being here for Summer Games Done Quick 2024. During that run, we crossed the $770 seventy thousand dollar line for charity we've raised 770 000

[13:18:24] four doctors without borders and we all of us here could not be

[13:18:28] more grateful. Thank you so much for your generous donations

[13:18:32] We absolutely love it here. And as I've been

[13:18:36] talking, we've raised even more money for that upgrade to the puzzle 100

[13:18:40] run we only have two thousand six hundred dollars remaining we have a little bit of

[13:18:45] time but not enough time to just well you know get in those donations because i

[13:18:50] really want to see this done um our next runner was sharing some of the

[13:18:55] uh tech of that run for me and you definitely don't want to miss it.

[13:19:00] And honestly? Who doesn't want to have

[13:19:02] more SGDQ?

[13:19:05] We also

[13:19:06] have some big wars going on

[13:19:08] right now for our upcoming rabbit and skill run.

[13:19:11] You could get the trinket choice that are Rabbit and Skill Runners will be using

[13:19:16] right now, Frog is in the lead with three hundred

[13:19:19] and thirty six dollars and 70 cents followed pretty closely by crow at 304.11

[13:19:26] but we also have the wolf, the dragon, the bunny and the mouse on this

[13:19:32] list. So if you have an opinion

[13:19:34] on the trinket choice for rabbit and steel

[13:19:36] go ahead and when you donate

[13:19:38] make sure and select your bid war so

[13:19:40] that you can see what trinket choice our rabbit and steel

[13:19:42] rotors will be using on later on today Also wanted to note that we do have some fabulous prizes here at SGDQ 2024, including some incredible things like the Tetris blanket which is a $50 minimum donation

[13:20:15] or

[13:20:16] the $25 minimum

[13:20:18] donation for the Bowser mixed media

[13:20:20] painting, which looks

[13:20:22] incredible. There are so many great prizes

[13:20:25] and if you want to check out the different

[13:20:27] prizes that you can be entered for today

[13:22:37] Thank you so much for the generous donation to Doctors Without Borders. borders.

[13:22:46] We also have $25 from Anonymous

[13:22:48] that says,

[13:22:50] I am a simple man.

[13:22:51] I see an incentive and I donate towards it.

[13:22:54] Putting this towards the Trackmania Incentive

[13:22:56] and a wonderful cause.

[13:23:03] We also have $25 from Kenzie Coden that says,

[13:23:08] I miss the haikus.

[13:23:10] I want to hear more of them.

[13:23:12] Let's make it happen!

[13:23:14] Thank you so much for that wonderful haiku, Gen Z and your donation to Doctors Without

[13:23:18] Borders.

[13:23:19] I too love the haikus and really appreciate those coming in.

[13:23:23] So if you want haikus i am down to see them especially

[13:23:28] if they relate to our run so speaking of

[13:23:31] our run we're just about ready for our track mania sunrise puzzle plus any

[13:23:36] percent runs speaking of which,

[13:23:37] we only have 96% left! Only $300!

[13:23:39] Our runner, Rastetz

[13:23:41] is the Trackmania Speedruns spokesperson

[13:23:43] He's promoted Trackmania at various

[13:23:45] marathons including both AGDQ and SGDQ.

[13:23:48] And he provides lots

[13:23:50] of resources to new Trackmania speedrunners.

[13:23:52] I've just gotten word that

[13:23:54] we're all set to go chat

[13:23:56] audience get ready to rack your brain and the fly high in style with rastad's

[13:24:02] trackmania sunrise puzzle plus and stunts any percent run rasta we are ready when you are.

[13:24:17] So uh...... will I?

[13:24:28] Oh okay. Sorry, I put the- so hello everybody! Bonsoir from France.

[13:24:31] France has taken over Game Zone Quick. Happy Independence Day to all Americans

[13:24:36] I've got the American flag in the back. We will be running Trackmania Sunrise,

[13:24:41] second trackmana game to be released back in 2005

[13:24:45] that was 19 years ago! Time flies! And I will be shortly

[13:24:49] presenting the category because it will be very packed,

[13:24:52] especially on the puzzle part.

[13:24:54] So we're going to play two game modes that are not very usual in the Trackvania franchise

[13:24:59] which is a simulation arcade racing game we put the puzzle again

[13:25:04] mode where we will be playing through 33 tracks so trackmania

[13:25:07] is known for its in-game map editor so this was the

[13:25:10] editor back in 2005

[13:25:12] the goal would be to build uh some routes and drive as fast as possible

[13:25:16] in order to climb some medals right now i will need to do

[13:25:20] the this puzzle apart in any person so will only need to get all the silver medals and 10 gold medals.

[13:25:27] But if you reach an incentive during a run, I will need to get all of my medals.

[13:25:30] I might come back to some tracks if the incentives are made during the run.

[13:25:33] The routes can also change

[13:25:35] on some of the tracks, because we need to

[13:25:36] optimize mapping time and driving

[13:25:38] time, and then we'll have a stance

[13:25:40] portion which will be very different

[13:25:42] and very nice. So without further ado i am ready to go in five four three

[13:25:51] two one go so welcome to it i have been exciting, I'm sorry to break in.

[13:25:57] I have a super exciting announcement we have met that incentive

[13:26:00] We are going to do the puzzle 100% plus stunts and 8% run

[13:26:04] Thank you! Thank you very much much so this track the form is a bit hard

[13:26:09] i just reached keyboard i don't know why i will go back to that try to get your middle because it's

[13:26:13] a bit difficult but we have already started building the track so you have different strategies

[13:26:19] that you can use i'm using the dump pad to switch between blocks and it's very important

[13:26:23] to optimize the building time on this category This is why it's so different

[13:26:28] from other trackman categories.

[13:26:30] I think that I see that a bit

[13:26:32] diverse, I'm not going to get the upper middle,

[13:26:33] I'm just going to restart this one because it's a bit of

[13:26:36] an easy one. So I'm just putting the two boosters next to

[13:26:39] one another because oh sorry i'm a bit uh okay i need to stay focused i'm not

[13:26:45] keeping the boosters back to uh to one another because you would get a lot of acceleration

[13:26:49] from it.

[13:26:51] In fact, I am

[13:26:53] a bit sweating

[13:26:57] Definitely we've got some weird action with the game right there.

[13:27:01] So you see that the island car?

[13:27:05] Okay, let's go back into the truck.

[13:27:12] And I think we got it. Oh no, we only see 1,000...

[13:27:14] So let's go again.

[13:27:16] It's not easy when you're shaking but

[13:27:18] I will show a couple in just a couple of seconds

[13:27:22] i wasn't expecting on this side but it's a bit uh a bit too precise

[13:27:27] there you go we finally got it nice all right so uh we are i will be switching to a further track

[13:27:34] so this is divided in sections of five maps as so we will be going through three different cars

[13:27:41] right there we'll be using the strat

[13:27:42] for a VL terminal which

[13:27:44] is not intended by the developers

[13:27:46] this is a bit of a faster strat

[13:27:48] I will get it first right? Perfect!

[13:27:50] So I can save up a little time so just bump into a wall in order

[13:27:54] to fly into the finish after that we have a track with a lot of elevation changes

[13:27:59] so we're going to use two types of blocks these These are hill blocks and

[13:28:04] straight blocks, so I'm just going to place all the blocks right

[13:28:08] there. This is not the optimal path for what we called it but

[13:28:12] this is a safe path. so you really want to optimize the mapping time and

[13:28:16] the driving time in this category which sets it apart from all of the TrackMan speedrun categories

[13:28:22] And that's why I like this category so much especially for any percent

[13:28:26] where on some tracks will only place a couple blocks because it would be enough to get

[13:28:31] as far the middle requirement this one will be another track where i

[13:28:35] view alpha metal is a bit tricky because in our truck mania

[13:28:39] you can have some um landing birds so the game

[13:28:42] is deterministic which means if you do exactly the same inputs

[13:28:46] you will get exactly the same results. But sometimes again it's a bit

[13:28:50] nasty just like this for example there you go I just barely missed

[13:28:54] the jump I was full accelerating and

[13:28:57] the game decided to make me do

[13:28:59] a front flip. So this is

[13:29:01] what can happen in this game

[13:29:03] I'm gonna do an air brake right there

[13:29:05] in order to land flat I'm missing it by a three uh hundreds of seconds

[13:29:09] so we'll come back to you at the end of the puzzle section just going through all of the tracks

[13:29:13] after that we will be going to another car which is the island car, a very fast paced

[13:29:21] car as you will see. Right there we are using a concave and convex plot just

[13:29:26] to show you that you can build transitions in TrackMania.

[13:29:29] This model is very easy, some of the other models will be much harder

[13:29:33] to get which is why

[13:29:37] it should have been increased by about 10 minutes.

[13:29:41] This one very easy, we just want to go as fast as possible through the finish line

[13:29:45] so we're going to go into a straightest time possible

[13:29:48] two of our first checkpoints so track products again made of

[13:29:52] checkpoint so you have a starting block some checkpoints and then a finish line or you can

[13:29:56] add as well multiple finish lines and you need it to get into a very

[13:30:01] finished time either fast as possible this track it's

[13:30:05] very interesting because you needed to build up a specific amount of speed

[13:30:09] in order to make the jump i'm gonna play it on keyboard and not

[13:30:12] uncontrolled right there because i had some really shoes on controller where

[13:30:15] a lot of the gears in this game you have a gear system

[13:30:20] with different ideas on the regular Trackmania it's usually five

[13:30:25] years but some of these cars you can have way more than five gears and

[13:30:28] usually in trackmania you don't want this gear when

[13:30:31] you're at a gear shift. Right where I was a bit unlucky,

[13:30:33] I hit the finish which is not enough for the off-hamper at all

[13:30:37] so we'll go through it again and adjust these a little bit

[13:30:41] at the ending of the map.

[13:30:44] Trackrunner is again where you can play with a wide

[13:30:48] range of input devices, most people will play on controller

[13:30:52] pad but you also have a lot of competitive players

[13:30:54] that play with a keyboard with only four keys.

[13:30:58] I got it right here just by listening. Nice! And you can also play

[13:31:02] with the steering wheel, just like like gravity which is a german player that

[13:31:06] is very well known within the truckman community and right now we're switching to one of the um

[13:31:11] more terrible maps in terms of mapping because you have a lot of different blocks that

[13:31:17] you place and you have to build the

[13:31:18] smoothest

[13:31:19] path possible so that you keep contact

[13:31:21] with the ground

[13:31:22] because time that is not spent on

[13:31:24] underground

[13:31:25] it's time that you are not

[13:31:26] accelerating. So this

[13:31:28] is going to be a bit of an unsmooth transition

[13:31:31] and right now I can just let my hands

[13:31:33] apart because this is a press forward map

[13:31:35] if you don't know what press forward one maps are in Chakmina,

[13:31:38] these are maps where just pressed forward

[13:31:40] and we did get some people have been able

[13:31:42] to make some crazy sense

[13:31:44] so if you've seen some viral Chakmina videos

[13:31:46] on the internet it was probably some press forward maps

[13:31:49] and this map will be very easy only are going to use a four additional platform blocks on

[13:31:54] a very flat surface we have a downhill right here what we're gonna reuse

[13:31:58] uh right after getting through this checkpoint

[13:32:02] as we will climb up here do a bit of a blind jump just aiming for the mountain

[13:32:06] in the distance so this is set in a pacific theme

[13:32:11] You will also see some buildings as well with the Highland car

[13:32:15] This car can easily slide out, so you have to be very smooth

[13:32:18] with your steering which is why a controller

[13:32:20] is preferred than a keyboard.

[13:32:24] But on some other cars it's completely fine to play with a keyboard. So we got

[13:32:28] all of the middle Driver on this one.

[13:32:29] And now, we'll switch to a third car out of this game.

[13:32:33] This game was the second track-minding game released back in 2005.

[13:32:38] It introduced three new cause after

[13:32:41] the original game back in 2003 and this is

[13:32:44] probably one of the weirdest trackman car

[13:32:47] where it uh slides out very very easily and uh this car it's set in the french rivera

[13:32:54] in the code dazio and yeah it's a very difficult to handle

[13:33:00] on the next track you will will need to be very precise

[13:33:02] with placing the different blocks. We have six different block types

[13:33:06] but I think we're only going to use four of them

[13:33:10] so I'm gonna place all the blocks right there and i have to be a very careful not to miss

[13:33:14] about because i will only realize that on the driving part and this would be very important

[13:33:20] on other later tracks as you will see that we will need to do a lot of driving.

[13:33:24] Sadly in this game, the pointer that you see, the yellow pointer is not removable

[13:33:28] so I need to put it away from the screen if i can think of it

[13:33:32] during the run. Next track is one of the hardest

[13:33:34] in terms of mapping, because you have to

[13:33:36] remember a very

[13:33:38] precise sequence of blocks

[13:33:40] on where to place

[13:33:42] them. So I'm trying to not mess it up this one should go here

[13:33:48] here and this is also a hard one for the ultimate also i might just drive

[13:33:52] it once and then come back to it at the end of this puzzle section but if i could

[13:33:59] get it for sure that would be absolutely amazing and we have time or two donations wonderful i have a one thousand dollar donation from archive and it says the older track

[13:34:12] mania games have some very interesting game modes it's cool to see them here at SGDQ!

[13:34:18] We also have

[13:34:19] $500 from Anonymous that

[13:34:21] says, Trackmania or

[13:34:23] Bust? Thank you so much

[13:34:25] for those incredibly generous donations.

[13:34:27] And also just very, very quickly wanted to say that we have a new incentive open

[13:34:31] for our Rabbit and Steel run

[13:34:33] which is the four-player Lunar Red Darkhouse. If met, the runners will showcase a lunar difficulty run which is very hard of

[13:34:40] the red darkhouse stage after the main rabbit and steel runs so go ahead and get those donations in

[13:34:44] back to you i just missed it by two tenths but we're gonna come

[13:34:48] back to this truck a bit later on so that

[13:34:49] we can switch to the others. Next one is gonna be on the left line. On this one we're gonna place

[13:34:53] very few blocks. On any percent route you only need to place um three blocks but just to be safe

[13:35:01] for at the 100 route and replace a couple of more uh blocks because the first checkpoint is

[13:35:07] placed on the ground but the second one is placed in here.

[13:35:10] So you do need a couple of blocks to reach it.

[13:35:14] I'm gonna have to be very careful

[13:35:15] we can't just sit out right there

[13:35:16] so we're going to have to respawn

[13:35:19] and try to get it clean.

[13:35:21] We've got some nice soundtrack in this game with a couple songs

[13:35:27] Oh, okay we got it!

[13:35:29] Okay, and we need to finish within a 15 seconds something

[13:35:34] 15 19 should be enough i don't have my nice feet on the side so i can't

[13:35:38] uh really check for all the times i forgot this developer

[13:35:41] now we are back to tangram 2 which is a very similar

[13:35:43] to trangon one that we played before uh to get the alpha middle we're gonna place two additional

[13:35:49] blocks compared to the any percent route which are these two blocks which will allow us to go faster into

[13:35:55] uh the checkpoint this would save up to one second and i'm gonna tap the acceleration in

[13:36:00] at the corner right there.

[13:36:03] Try to not hit because this car, as I said, can easily

[13:36:06] slide out.

[13:36:08] So I'm going to release very early

[13:36:10] here and then

[13:36:11] accelerate. I don't think this is gonna be enough for upper middle,

[13:36:15] but we might come back to it if needed.

[13:36:17] 2319 should be all right by a few.

[13:36:20] Yep, we just got it.

[13:36:21] All right so we can switch back.

[13:36:23] Let's do brainstorm which is going to be a full start of the run

[13:36:26] we are going back into bay uh up wait did it work probably well i would check nope okay i just forgot one a single block right there

[13:36:40] very important to put the red blocks but you don't have this fence at the end

[13:36:43] I'm gonna up stop accelerating then keep accelerating again and finish in five seconds 73

[13:36:49] this is probably a shorter strike didn't get 80 so i can retry that try to release

[13:36:55] uh a bit less up release boom we accelerated and now you can see

[13:36:58] that it will be a bit faster 560 which is a pretty decent arm

[13:37:03] and uh we will at the switching to a mini g3 and this is also a bit of a nightmare map you only have two

[13:37:10] different kind of blocks but you have a lot of elevation change

[13:37:13] a lot of scroll wheel usage so i'm to place all of these blocks like this, and we are only two

[13:37:21] people running this run at the moment.

[13:37:23] We just optimized the building and the driving tire airport. And Funpack

[13:37:29] will live exactly in the same city

[13:37:31] in France

[13:37:33] Didn't get to meet yet

[13:37:35] so shout out to our ventilator

[13:37:37] of course who has also been running this category and some other people have also

[13:37:41] been running it because last year we organized a huge event for the 10-year 20 anniversary of

[13:37:46] trackmania so yeah this license is already 21 years old maybe some of you have discovered the license

[13:37:52] uh through trackmania nations however which was a free to play game released back in 2008

[13:37:57] there was also a checkpoint nation's eswc back in 2006 and now with this new chart we will find

[13:38:04] a new mechanic called tunnels so i'm just gonna be very careful right here so this is a very

[13:38:10] precision uh based um run going to be very careful right there. So this is a very precision-based

[13:38:12] run. I am

[13:38:14] not very good at precision, as you may have

[13:38:16] noticed on one of the first tracks.

[13:38:18] The nerves just

[13:38:19] were pretty high. So number five is going to be this

[13:38:24] downhill bug that i will place here i'm gonna not forget

[13:38:27] to place um a block at the exit of the tunnel right there, else it's not going to work.

[13:38:33] There you go! And now we should have more than enough blocks to get

[13:38:37] off the middle. With any percent layout, you just place a bit

[13:38:41] less blocks in order to reduce the building time.

[13:38:44] You could still get the upper middle with any percentile, but it's

[13:38:48] a bit harder so I'm using this writing set

[13:38:52] so that I don't have to be there. And I

[13:38:54] can smash my touch into the wall and then drag straight into the

[13:38:57] finish, which is what we could call a war ride it's not a

[13:39:00] vertical roll right but at least it's an horizontal roll ride

[13:39:04] This next track is going to be RNG-fest, as I said this game

[13:39:07] is deterministic which means that if you do exactly the same inputs you have exactly the same results

[13:39:11] but it's a bit of a chaos theory game where if you have slightly different inputs you can have very very different

[13:39:18] outcomes which is what we could see right there i will try to get it first time so this

[13:39:23] is the next jump that is going to be very hard because you have to aim pretty well and then you can have some weird stuff happening to the car.

[13:39:30] I'm gonna release a bit...

[13:39:32] And just hope to make the jump! Okay, I made it!

[13:39:34] The car is very bouncy, it's a 4x4 suv

[13:39:39] uh so for familiar car but they are lightweight and bouncing and the camera

[13:39:44] is also giving you motion sickness on this track a lot so i hope you're not getting a dv

[13:39:50] and then we might get bunny up from the car that's not sure but it was just a tiny bunny

[13:39:54] help but this should be more than enough for the ultimate my bad we missed it by

[13:40:00] three hundreds of a second welcome back to it later

[13:40:03] once well done with all of the tracks uh this track

[13:40:06] very very very interesting called M for the top.

[13:40:09] As you can see,

[13:40:11] finish is very high

[13:40:13] Let me count those straight

[13:40:15] We're going to use these ramps

[13:40:17] in order to get ourselves into the air you have the world because strategy of this

[13:40:22] track is absolutely insane it uses a bug called the uber bag which some people from

[13:40:26] the truck manager community might know and that is more prevalent in

[13:40:30] checkmate stadium uh the main environment but right there

[13:40:35] we're just gonna flip into here stand here we're going to do the same thing

[13:40:39] do this backflip then go straight into a finish

[13:40:43] time on the second jump i could have gone as straightly into a finished arm but you can

[13:40:47] have as well some bugs and i decided not to risk it since our

[13:40:51] story quite a bit of time uh on the start of the run this is one

[13:40:56] of the tracks where we optimize the build of the moose so

[13:41:00] we only place um just a couple blocks

[13:41:02] these are of course not the optimal

[13:41:04] alliance for world record

[13:41:06] you place almost all building blocks

[13:41:08] but this will be moving enough to get

[13:41:10] at the uh 80 middle

[13:41:13] this game was developed by nadio i think i started a french studio

[13:41:18] and yeah the community in this game is very nice it's fairly based on a community uh um just sharing maps we have some

[13:41:28] community website to share much with from a community competition as well uh very friendly

[13:41:32] communities so if you've never played Trackmania

[13:41:34] you can give it a go. It's very encouraged. It's pretty hard to pick up games

[13:41:38] easy to play but hard to master

[13:41:42] to be honest. Right here... okay this is the booster that i need

[13:41:46] to have always so this is the strat that i use for 100 it's faster than any person but

[13:41:52] the building takes a bit more time we're going to do 180 right there

[13:41:56] and we're gonna need approximately 12.03 second which is gonna be done all right so

[13:42:02] uh after that we will switch to a drunken tunnel.

[13:42:05] So another map with some tunnels.

[13:42:07] I'm going to enable the Tunnel Game Mode

[13:42:10] with the W key and then play this track.

[13:42:15] On this track, the we got shot is also a bit crazy does

[13:42:19] some uh hugo bugs as well because as you will see

[13:42:23] on the next part we are driving on grass and we are

[13:42:26] instantly slowed down by a lot i didn't land super flat so

[13:42:30] I'm not sure if this will be 80. I could drive it again because this is a very easy map

[13:42:35] I was sure you get second try uh this would never happen like I wouldn't is a very easy map i will surely get it to control

[13:42:37] uh this would never happen like i would never fail it twice surely that happens

[13:42:42] with american runs and then i just aim straight like this

[13:42:46] you get the landing airbrake in order to flat-blast the car.

[13:42:50] This is very useful

[13:42:50] in Track 1 again because of brake button

[13:42:53] and there you go, serving over half

[13:42:55] a second just by getting a much

[13:42:57] cleaner landing. After that we've got the track called

[13:43:01] the left speed so our first strike was called the right pin now it's

[13:43:04] the left speed and same here we're just going to build

[13:43:08] as much speed as we can in an overall pattern so maybe

[13:43:12] there are some

[13:43:13] nasca fans in the chat and in the

[13:43:14] audience gdp

[13:43:15] so you can share uh if you wish

[13:43:19] and now we're just gonna try to remember where to exit the drop

[13:43:23] smooth exit here don't go for another around

[13:43:26] around the clock then get enough speed for that jump

[13:43:29] drive on the reverse boosters

[13:43:32] get enough speed and finish the map with

[13:43:36] the alpha medal. Final map of this block will

[13:43:40] be pillar of summer so in this one you be a pillar of SOMA.

[13:43:42] So, in this one you have a lot of different strategies to collect the checkpoints. When I discovered

[13:43:46] the room, I had a lot of trouble getting the upper middle. I was trying to get

[13:43:50] the checkpoints from this side up to the other side but the fastest way is indeed

[13:43:55] to get them just from top to bottom and we will have to be very careful with landing bugs right

[13:44:01] there which can happen, which is why I'm going to do an immediate

[13:44:04] air brake right there.

[13:44:06] Hope that I don't lose a lot of speed, hope

[13:44:08] that I make bad jump as well.

[13:44:10] Nice! And then I can drop here

[13:44:12] this is another grand jam that I will have to do right about

[13:44:15] here, try not to slide out.

[13:44:17] Hope but I didn't forget any blocks

[13:44:20] and then I would be able to finish

[13:44:24] that map.

[13:44:25] And boom! Alright, so 2496 with pillars

[13:44:29] of summer. After that is done we can go

[13:44:33] to Mystery where you are back on post baby back in france alia trance and now

[13:44:40] we have some um roadblocks with holes which we're gonna use to drop down at two other checkpoints. At the start I'm not going

[13:44:48] to steer for a second, i'm just here like the very first frame and then I stop steering so that

[13:44:53] I can have a gear shift else I will lose a lot of speed because if she's still doing the gear check

[13:44:58] you do lose quite uh quite a tremendous amount of skin whatever to be a bit careful i don't think

[13:45:04] this is gonna be enough i lost quite a bit of speed, I still got it

[13:45:08] nice so I won't have to come back to that map

[13:45:10] simple line you have a lot of

[13:45:12] different strats on that one

[13:45:14] I think the world we could try

[13:45:16] using an overworld so the blocks don't directly connect into a vertex finish.

[13:45:20] Okay, I messed up on that part.

[13:45:22] I used block number two instead of block number four

[13:45:26] So this is why you have to be very careful with the bug usage.

[13:45:29] Same here, I'm going to steer and then not steer for about a second

[13:45:32] and keep on driving in order to get the early gear shift

[13:45:37] Tab acceleration multiple times in order to not slide out, as you can see even

[13:45:42] at speeds of 100 kilometers per hour uh you i can slide out with a cruise car

[13:45:48] this one is also very interesting. You have a lot of

[13:45:50] different solutions for the map, and I'm going to get

[13:45:54] checkpoints in this order which you will soon see

[13:45:58] Okay, I forgot this like this

[13:46:00] like this jump down there and then so we're gonna do one two four three

[13:46:05] from uh right to left and actually that's what we call does

[13:46:09] the opposite but this is very easy to build and

[13:46:11] to remember very easy to slide out apparently as well

[13:46:18] so here i'm gonna be careful what we're going to do here

[13:46:21] is use ruby respond to do a very

[13:46:23] fast 180. there you go and then drag it straight

[13:46:27] into the finish line in 23 seconds of flat

[13:46:31] we got the upper middle.

[13:46:33] Stretch motif, this one is also pretty cool. You have two levels

[13:46:37] we're going to connect these with slope blocks

[13:46:41] I'm gonna place some blocks here. We also play some roadblocks right there so that

[13:46:45] we can exit at the upper level to drop down to a lower level and we're going to claim all of

[13:46:50] our checkpoints in uh clockwise, so first this checkpoint

[13:46:54] then the second one.

[13:46:56] And beating the rod very safe right there

[13:46:58] This root block that allows me to

[13:47:00] drop down to a lower level

[13:47:02] I could have placed it 1 block early but then i could have gotten

[13:47:05] way more landing bugs so I'm just playing it super safe in order to get

[13:47:08] the alpha metal and then up we're just going to get

[13:47:12] the last checkpoint and finish the map

[13:47:17] nice music as well very repetitive music sadly there's only like

[13:47:21] five or six musics i think in the game

[13:47:24] uh rabbit holes this is probably one of

[13:47:26] most nightmare team maps as you can see

[13:47:28] we have a lot of tunnel blocks to place

[13:47:30] so absolutely very easy

[13:47:32] to miss out on 1 block

[13:47:34] and if you only video visualize 40 seconds into a run

[13:47:37] you are very very sad trust me it has happened many times before

[13:47:41] when i was hunting this category so

[13:47:45] I'm gonna drop down this book right there try to not forget a single one of them

[13:47:51] and this one is unforgettable this one as well go down into the ground surface

[13:47:56] play some over the road blocks.

[13:47:58] Same here, the checkpoint order is not optimal

[13:48:00] for what we call but this is the fastest to build

[13:48:02] for this speedrun.

[13:48:05] So usually the first check point

[13:48:07] this is the one that you're gonna to get straight away but easy peasy

[13:48:09] and then second and third checkpoints are switched on the um what we call route they go way further

[13:48:16] to the left we get your other checkpoint then we'll go back to this checkpoint uh with

[13:48:21] the corridor i'm gonna break right there in order to not slide out and then i can drive it into the

[13:48:26] grass so the graphics for that game look pretty good for a 2005 game

[13:48:30] I don't know what you think

[13:48:31] in the chat

[13:48:33] oh

[13:48:33] we got a nice play

[13:48:34] but we get the checkpoint

[13:48:35] so we can immediately

[13:48:36] respawn

[13:48:37] and then

[13:48:38] drive through

[13:48:40] the map into the finish in 38 seconds.

[13:48:46] There you go, nice! And the final tracks of a run before oh sorry i started building

[13:48:53] it during my test uh test stream so this one is called final speed it's very similar to

[13:48:59] the left speed at the right speed, but this time we're going

[13:49:03] to use a booster.

[13:49:04] We are going to use it twice in order to build momentum so I need to place all of my blocks

[13:49:09] right there.

[13:49:10] The path on this map for keyboard and controller is different because it's way easier to slide out on the keyboard.

[13:49:16] So a ventilator, my friend that also ran his game was using the keyboard strap

[13:49:21] and he was using about three to four seconds

[13:49:25] and right now we're just gonna get a lot of speed up to 860 xp maximum

[13:49:31] speed in track mana is 1000 km per hour.

[13:49:34] Some people have managed to go over that limit, but it's mostly

[13:49:38] 1000. And now look at this absolute monstrosity

[13:49:42] of the track driver focus

[13:49:44] where we have so many blocks to play

[13:49:47] so you have to be very, very precise

[13:49:49] to aim pretty well

[13:49:51] which is not my best

[13:49:53] qualities in iGaming but oh there you go as you can see I just clicked slightly

[13:49:59] off track will place these blocks and going one two three 4 and then 8, 7, 6, 5

[13:50:06] in the blocks order.

[13:50:10] Ok, I forgot to place one block so I have to place Block7 here

[13:50:14] This is not my usual setup, I usually place the block number 6 a bit

[13:50:19] earlier but this will be absolutely fine and final book will be back number seven

[13:50:23] oh that looks good we can start driving on it and we have time for two donations wonderful i have a couple

[13:50:31] quick ones we have 50 from nightwig that says more trackmania more track Trackmania. I also

[13:50:39] have $100 from RaiderMonkey

[13:50:40] that says upgrade please and we did

[13:50:43] in fact meet that incentive upgrade so thank

[13:50:45] you all so much. We also have

[13:50:46] $50 from Liftam1 that says, more Trackmania please.

[13:50:50] And a very quick $25 from HaikuTrain, woo-woo!

[13:50:54] That says, puzzles 100%, stunts any percent incentive met

[13:51:00] just in time

[13:51:01] thank you for all of those fabulous donations

[13:51:04] yeah, thank you everybody

[13:51:06] for all of the donations

[13:51:07] shout out to all of the people donating to make sense of culture and doctors without borders

[13:51:12] and boom 48 i played it very safe i usually drive it in 46 seconds

[13:51:18] a final map of a closed section we're gonna drive it in 46 seconds a final map of the puzzle section that

[13:51:21] we're gonna drive it very safe so we're going to place

[13:51:25] we only have one type of blocks on this map which are these

[13:51:28] sloped blocks.

[13:51:31] What we could try, just go through the checkpoint

[13:51:34] in a very weird order but for

[13:51:37] this speedrun, you're just going to get the checkpoint

[13:51:40] from top to bottom so I need to count two checkpoints to get the checkpoint from top to bottom so i need to count with two checkpoints

[13:51:42] two again here after four checkpoints that will drop down to a lower level so have to be very

[13:51:47] careful about four and then either down to this level I get six checkpoints now

[13:51:53] so one, two, three

[13:51:57] maybe you can count with me in the room five

[13:52:01] break right there there get the checkpoint

[13:52:04] after that this is a free check point so this is number two

[13:52:08] then this will be number three and we'll drop down to final level so this point is a quick 180 and then i'll finish

[13:52:17] the map and then we'll go back to all of them as well we didn't get the

[13:52:21] offer middle so that you can complete the puzzle uh% from hoping but I will not feel too stressed and

[13:52:27] whatever be precise with the inputs, but should be around 1575. That's more than enough for

[13:52:34] middle boom, boom, boom. Let's see our that's more than enough for all the maples.

[13:52:36] Boom, boom, boom! Let's see how many maps we have remaining. So we've got

[13:52:40] one here and we've got two here.

[13:52:44] I'm going to start with some of the easy ones

[13:52:46] we're going to start with a double jump hoping that we get

[13:52:49] from nice bounce you need to be very precise

[13:52:53] here i hope to land clean okay a lot of

[13:52:57] skits i'm gonna have to restart it so some of these openers are pretty hard

[13:53:03] this was made by the creator of checkmania

[13:53:06] elise and yeah back then they were much harder than now

[13:53:10] now in these seasonal campaigns on trackman 2020 video fundamentals are much easier except

[13:53:15] for uh the last campaign that just released on july 1st where we had one middle but was only

[13:53:21] met by seven people after 12 hours if i remember correctly so that was absolutely insane high end

[13:53:27] news is going to be a bit of trouble,

[13:53:29] so what we're going to do

[13:53:29] is do half the ramps,

[13:53:31] hope if we get good RNG on this one.

[13:53:34] Remember,

[13:53:35] this is the track where we missed it

[13:53:36] by only three hundredths of a seconds, so we'll just hope

[13:53:40] that you can get it clean. Problem with this map is that

[13:53:44] the RNG port happens after 25 seconds, so that's a lot of time

[13:53:48] As you can see, we lost 0.5 second on my TV.

[13:53:54] I mean, my TV is 0.5 seconds behind sorry.

[13:53:57] Really quickly just want to jump in

[13:53:58] and say we have gone up to $775,000 raised for Doctors Without Borders

[13:54:04] during this run. Thank you so much for all of your donations!

[13:54:07] Thank you very much maybe it can be 777,7777 to bring me more like for the run but it'd be cool yes that sounds

[13:54:15] perfect donate for that you can tell me when we reach it absolutely will all right so this one we got it nice uh and then i think

[13:54:25] i only have two remaining which are the two orders but we're gonna start with

[13:54:29] base starter i will have to drive very close to the wall on this one you get an 837

[13:54:40] oh i got his first try let's go okay my start of the run was very bad especially

[13:54:45] on the second track where i had a lot of trouble but we made it nice and getting

[13:54:51] more and more confident and this one may, they only missing 0.2.

[13:54:54] We have our goose to help us

[13:54:56] to know if we are on track or not to get it.

[13:54:59] So I'll just try to be uptime right there

[13:55:00] where you guys can already say 0.24

[13:55:03] but my second half of the map was pretty good. I'm going to full release

[13:55:06] here and tap acceleration do a turn around... Oh nice slide out! Okay after that's how

[13:55:12] they're gonna have to resolve this is one of the pretty hard turns on the map.

[13:55:16] After that we're going to switch to stunts, which will be radically different

[13:55:20] I hope you'll enjoy it. Okay this is not very fast

[13:55:24] okay i can get more speed from the exit. Should be good.

[13:55:27] Nice. And full release

[13:55:28] this is one of my favorite songs

[13:55:30] from the soundtrack of the game

[13:55:32] and a ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta

[13:55:34] Okay, this was a straight out Can I still make it? Nope!

[13:55:38] Okay, this will not be enough so we start again.

[13:55:43] Come on, let's get it.

[13:55:46] You got this! let's get it i don't have you just to show me

[13:55:51] okay

[13:55:57] yeah this is not good but I'm catching up here.

[13:56:00] And then I can get speed through here.

[13:56:02] Okay, I'm catching up.

[13:56:03] Nice!

[13:56:04] Yeah, but I will need like an insane amount of speed at the end come on

[13:56:09] come on i drove it now this is not gonna be enough

[13:56:13] i'm missing one punch now okay come on just a few times and we'll get it

[13:56:19] i just want to get a bit of a clean start on that map

[13:56:24] Ok, this is a drift, it's alright

[13:56:27] Didn't lose me a lot of time

[13:56:29] This is very clean

[13:56:40] full break then immediately steer like this point three ahead tap acceleration acceleration

[13:56:49] and i think we have it okay puzzle part of the run is done in i don't know how many minutes and we will do the stun section right now which

[13:56:54] will be a very, very different. So there you go all green medals on the puzzle campaign

[13:57:00] We can go to stunts now.

[13:57:02] I hope you're ready to fly high in style as you said.

[13:57:07] So we'll need to get all server medals

[13:57:09] on these maps and three gold medals as well.

[13:57:12] So the scoring system for stunts in TrackManager is very

[13:57:15] weird. You have different kinds of stunts. You have straight

[13:57:18] stunts just like this. You can also have alley-oop stunts where you

[13:57:21] switch direction at the last moment so right there i switched

[13:57:25] from left to right at last moment but it still should have a straight jump sorry i will get

[13:57:30] the goal middle on this one because it's a very easy middle to get and just finishing right in time

[13:57:36] so you want to chain uh instance and to diversify them in order to get as many points

[13:57:41] as possible at this point i have a setup for a silver middle i'll try to get it first right

[13:57:47] so full right left up and then land flat and hope to get 81 points

[13:57:53] i got more than enough almost got 81 just with that single stunt we can then

[13:57:58] go through the finish line so you have a timer if you reach the finish line after the time

[13:58:02] you lose 10 points every second and this is the moment that i feel the most in

[13:58:06] yeti run a track for the charis theory and

[13:58:09] this is the most random truck you can ever think of

[13:58:12] last time i did this category in american i had to try it ten times

[13:58:16] so yeah we'll just hope to get lucky uh 100 points

[13:58:19] i don't know if this is really good or not we need one seven here

[13:58:24] we're just gonna pray to get a good second job please

[13:58:28] this piece and that's something here we have to restart sadly

[13:58:33] we only got 160 yeah okay this is like super random there definitely not a step up on this you just gotta go straight

[13:58:40] and absolutely pray so if she could send some uh play emotes in the twitch chat to encourage me

[13:58:46] maybe this would be good um oh wait

[13:58:51] maybe if i get lucky with the second stamp and a finishing time this could be

[13:58:55] 178 points i do need to go quick but we could maybe

[13:59:00] do it i just need to align myself pretty well

[13:59:03] like such can i get some good flips i'm missing about eight points i told

[13:59:08] you this track was an absolute nightmare

[13:59:10] and this is only the silver medal,

[13:59:12] so imagine the gold and the alpha medal.

[13:59:15] The founder of the game,

[13:59:17] he really cooked on all of this stunt metal

[13:59:22] okay 117 this is much better than what we got before

[13:59:27] we only need 61 points surely we'll get them

[13:59:30] probably we will get a lot of motion

[13:59:32] sickness with the camera oh this looks good come on

[13:59:40] oh it's nice we got amazing and now we can finish just in time.

[13:59:45] Okay, Now we can sweat as you can see French

[13:59:49] And now we can go to one of the later tracks so we could go to the second section it's effect

[13:59:56] number four five and six and in a view james uh in minneapolis maybe you can share as well for the jumps. Like

[14:00:03] Wheeeeee!

[14:00:07] Pop! And we're gonna

[14:00:08] land a 540 flip.

[14:00:10] If you keep on steering during

[14:00:12] the entire jump, this will be a masterjump but it's very difficult to achieve.

[14:00:16] So that is why I have to stop steering most of the time.

[14:00:19] Of course on World Record runs they always get the Master's Stunts

[14:00:25] because we start over and over again. On this one we're gonna get the gold medal

[14:00:29] because it is very easy to get. There you go! And we have

[14:00:33] 1 final gold medal to get and after that we will only need

[14:00:36] uh the silver medals uh strats for this map are very easy if you wanted

[14:00:41] to get a gold medal as well just do 180 keep on on accelerating like this and get 37 points

[14:00:48] then you will stop accelerating right at the time of booster so right about here

[14:00:52] Keep accelerating here and then pull a 360 like so,

[14:00:57] then on the booster

[14:00:58] And when finally do another 360

[14:01:01] This is your tutorial to get

[14:01:03] a gold medal on aquaplaning.

[14:01:06] Hopefully this is enough. yeah there you go nice we got it

[14:01:10] amazing a boat ride uh this one is also pretty nice with the bay car as

[14:01:15] you remember that car is very bouncy.

[14:01:18] I'm going to steer at the very last second

[14:01:20] right there due of 360.

[14:01:23] Hope to get enough points.

[14:01:24] Okay, 75 points is pretty

[14:01:26] good. I will aim about here, I think. Yep this is good. And

[14:01:34] i've got 97.4! Okay so I don't have to go for the flip which is a bit orange at the end

[14:01:40] i just barely got this over middle nice amazing with seven seconds to spare wonderful

[14:01:46] just real quick wanted to break in with a 500 donation from luna rexie no comment but thank you

[14:01:52] so much for your generous donation and remember uh rastats asked for that 7777 for all of the

[14:01:59] luck on these runs so if you want to get your donations in

[14:02:01] we would love to have them! Exactly, so I'm going to do a hand-in-privilege

[14:02:05] and then go upsteer to the right

[14:02:09] As you've noticed, these are custom cards made especially for this

[14:02:13] one uh by union a lovely member from the united states of america so shout out to me if he's

[14:02:19] watching around it makes some fantastic cars i wanted

[14:02:22] to come out with a sunrise film because

[14:02:24] the name of again is tracking us from us and look at the beautiful lights that we

[14:02:28] have in the back absolutely mesmerizing. We get enough points on this map

[14:02:34] I could have done from 360 in between the pillar and

[14:02:39] rocket but that was a bit risky, I just wanted to get the silver medal. And I got

[14:02:44] gold so I'm fine with it. Alright this one

[14:02:48] another Beitar map, what we're gonna do is a full 360

[14:02:52] right there. Wall be called could start to just hit uh onto the wall of the

[14:02:56] building next to you and then hope to get another point okay i completely messed that

[14:03:01] up but this is 100 points so it'd be be good. I think this could be enough

[14:03:05] Let me see...I need to feel fast

[14:03:09] I need 206 points, this is a very keen stand

[14:03:13] This is going to be way more than enough and then i just do another 360 at the end oh

[14:03:18] this one's beautiful look at this this is some tiny old stuff with cars but still amazing. Flip flop

[14:03:26] or this one, coast car so I do

[14:03:30] have to brake at a very specific moment so full accelerate then up full release

[14:03:34] and left 4x4 3 effort effort you only do one flip i could

[14:03:39] do two flips but sometimes they only do one and a half flips and you just land on your back

[14:03:43] and then the last part is also a bit rng so I'm going to try to get some good luck line up properly

[14:03:49] get a good flips things to be good then get another flip by jumping beyond and then i need

[14:03:59] this is what we call the turtle in trackmania in some case you can save it but with

[14:04:02] these very heavy car you cannot save it so i will have to start again

[14:04:06] very nice because yep on the stadium car you can drive on uh when you are on your back it's a

[14:04:12] very uh and nicer mechanic slowly as second time will do charm i just need to aim perfectly here

[14:04:22] okay maybe if i start like this and then jump like this i can sleep well

[14:04:28] okay i don't have enough points so I will have to restart

[14:04:30] Sadly I was not lucky with the point system

[14:04:34] So this is one of the tracks where I feared

[14:04:36] that I'm not getting it first try

[14:04:38] I knew that this would be one of the hard tracks.

[14:04:40] 76 points is good, I only need 72 points now so we'll take it very safe and then get full

[14:04:47] speed here and just pray there you go!

[14:04:50] This is a lot of people amazing what a flip 107.9 uh and this

[14:04:59] is only silver medal so imagine what you need to get in order to get off the metal

[14:05:03] and so now we are at the sixth elastotrax of uh the instance campaign this one

[14:05:09] pretty easy i just need to aim pretty precisely gonna do a backflip and then one of the biggest stunts so far

[14:05:16] Up, there you go!

[14:05:17] Gonna do a looooot of flips

[14:05:19] I think this is an 80 stunt

[14:05:22] Maybe... let's see oh 720 almost now i'm going to do another small jump like this

[14:05:31] 274 and now i just need to jump straight into the finish and this will be more than enough

[14:05:36] uh for silver medal but it really is in order to not fly out of the map but don't release

[14:05:40] too early else you would just hit at the top of that building uh after

[14:05:45] that we go to a medallion which is also a very easy map because

[14:05:50] you have two minutes which will be very different from the

[14:05:53] map right after which is one of them maps that i've never missed as well

[14:05:55] you will see why but this map two minutes is more than enough time in order to get still the middle

[14:06:02] so first jump we got 117 points right there when we're just going to do a classic

[14:06:08] stand so we're just gonna change things like this when i release try

[14:06:13] to aim properly do the full start yeah that was not

[14:06:16] the cleanest landing you've ever seen

[14:06:18] but that will give a trick then i'm gonna do it how do you fight there and this is

[14:06:23] not going to be enough sadly okay and the car is starting so that was a bit unlucky i said that this

[14:06:29] was easy and then of course something that never happens before it had happened before but not

[14:06:34] not open so we'll have to start again i can respawn on these maps

[14:06:39] if there are any checkpoints but i would use 50 points for a near

[14:06:43] respond which is uh why i didn't try it i'm not not even sure if there's a checkpoint or

[14:06:49] maybe there is one at the start of the map and

[14:06:51] I didn't really see it.

[14:06:53] Okay, so I need to do this right here because

[14:06:55] I am jumping super far. There you go

[14:06:57] This is clean. Keeping one more speed than before then this value will be much

[14:07:02] more thin i'm going to stop it right now not gonna try to do another rotation that

[14:07:07] would be a bit too risky after that I can do another stunt for 70 points,

[14:07:11] I guess.

[14:07:12] And let's do another stunt here.

[14:07:16] OK, that landing will be hard.

[14:07:18] Come on!

[14:07:19] Nice and we got more than enough points of course silver

[14:07:22] medal so i can just drive back straight to finish time which is right about here

[14:07:28] and now now the despair a complete despair on this track called spin hell

[14:07:35] it is literally as pinhead so we will have some time to be donation in a moment

[14:07:40] but first i'll show you what i will try

[14:07:42] to do for the next three minutes on that map so first we're going to do backflip

[14:07:46] after that is done and just gonna go straight and keep doing the same stuff

[14:07:50] over and over again until we have enough points.

[14:07:52] Right there, I'm going to force you to the left

[14:07:54] then offer a good landing here

[14:07:56] a good flip

[14:07:57] and now your thumbs up donation

[14:07:59] Wonderful!

[14:08:00] We have $20 from Faulty Mentality that appropriately says,

[14:08:06] Thank you so much for that donation.

[14:08:10] We also have $25 from Tomato Walrus that says, We love GDQ.

[14:08:16] Thanks, Tomato Walrus!

[14:08:17] So do we!

[14:08:18] I also wanted to give you a quick update on

[14:08:20] that four-player Lunar Red Darkhouse

[14:08:22] incentive that we opened just before this run.

[14:08:25] We already have $1,193 for the

[14:08:29] $15,000 needed for that incentive if you want to see

[14:08:33] really hard rabbit and steel,

[14:08:35] you definitely wanna get your donations in for that.

[14:08:39] We also have a real quick $25 from Beastie

[14:08:43] that says greetings from the UK.

[14:08:47] Second year in a row attending this fantastic event and it's always so much fun love to support such a great cause

[14:08:52] keep up the good work all right we are doing pretty good for now we need to work.

[14:08:56] Alright, we are doing pretty good for now! We need 600 points

[14:08:59] in about 3 minutes. So I'm gonna

[14:09:02] try to get these remaining 200 points very

[14:09:05] cleanly... Okay, I need to get a good landing because this

[14:09:08] car can also...

[14:09:10] Oh! Almost had a heart attack

[14:09:12] and so dear he did.

[14:09:15] Alright. Okay.

[14:09:16] Nice.

[14:09:18] Now we're just gonna keep all right okay nice

[14:09:23] now we're just going to keep on going we need one minute to get 150 points and then boost it right here hope to land finish

[14:09:27] here as well okay and now i need 40 points remaining

[14:09:32] and we should get it first try that is absolutely amazing we should be

[14:09:35] well within this tonight despite the i did at the start oh we have a quick seven dollars from anonymous

[14:09:43] that says let's get a 7 train going to hit that 777 777. let's go i'm only missing three points for address and just one very simple jump

[14:09:54] there you go and just go straight to one of the finish line there is one located

[14:09:58] right about here and after that it will be the last three tracks of the run.

[14:10:04] Maybe some of the viewers in the chat can donate to other news.

[14:10:07] Thank you.

[14:10:10] We would definitely love to see that.

[14:10:12] So go ahead and get those donations in!

[14:10:14] We are rapidly approaching that 777!

[14:10:18] And this track, a lot of RNG

[14:10:20] especially on that fusion sometimes you get the double

[14:10:22] flip sometimes you get this simple simple clip or no flip at all i just got

[14:10:26] it clean right there i'm gonna do a very safe stretch here so this is the coast

[14:10:31] car clearly not the vehicle made to stand because as you remember this is the coast car. Clearly not a vehicle made for stunt because as you remember,

[14:10:33] This is a very slow car but 190 points then

[14:10:37] this stunt will be deterministic for the end of the run

[14:10:41] Just gonna hope to get a clean landing then stabilize the car as much as i can

[14:10:47] okay nice we've got enough point so that would be your first try

[14:10:51] amazing oh yeah i was feeling very shaky at the start of a run

[14:10:54] and then plenty of marathon runs before, but that one was a long time ago

[14:10:58] so yeah you can indeed get shaky even

[14:11:02] without pressure of a cloud but now it's uh we are doing better and

[14:11:08] we will get the two final tracks of this run with first

[14:11:13] press forward start but you can easily get 130 points so i just

[14:11:17] can raise the controller and not do anything

[14:11:20] and waited to get some absolute of three

[14:11:22] points or maybe 273 i think no it's we3, I think.

[14:11:26] We'll see. I don't really remember how many points we get

[14:11:30] It is indeed 273 points.

[14:11:34] Then we're going to do some halyups here,

[14:11:38] get a lot of speed...

[14:11:40] Okay, I'm gonna try to aim it here

[14:11:42] Can I jump? Well nice!

[14:11:44] So you have different cameras in the game

[14:11:46] This was camera number 3

[14:11:48] which is called interior camera

[14:11:50] This is camera number 1, which is

[14:11:52] pretty far from the car and then

[14:11:54] you have camera 2 that's a bit closer to the car

[14:11:56] Right now the game wants us to go to

[14:11:58] the left but just to play it safe i will just do a jump on

[14:12:01] this uh platform so that's going to be all that is going to be a huge

[14:12:05] jump surely the biggest jumping in the entire run.

[14:12:09] And I could have done even one more

[14:12:11] flip and after

[14:12:13] that is done I can directly drop down

[14:12:15] to here and then

[14:12:17] I had more than enough points to serve them at all and cross the finish line just like so

[14:12:25] boom boom boom alright giant pinball which is gonna be

[14:12:28] the final map there's a bit of adaptation on this map what

[14:12:32] we're gonna do is an airbrake right there just when the car becomes i've done a full backflip

[14:12:37] or front flip i don't really remember what that was Land flat here

[14:12:41] After that is done right there

[14:12:43] We're just going to do a chain, a flip

[14:12:45] here. I can probably

[14:12:47] stop rotating here so I

[14:12:49] can adjust and probably land it too. Yep, I'm going to have

[14:12:52] to restart. I was a bit too greedy right there

[14:12:54] just because I got a bit too much speed.

[14:12:57] So up air brake

[14:12:58] right there. Backflip. Okay, this

[14:13:00] is not going to be a good backflip so i'm going to restart again

[14:13:03] but it's not press forward you really need to get a good timing there you go the car

[14:13:08] is tilted a bit more uh towards the ground so that is good now i can land here i'm gonna give very simple jump here

[14:13:16] then okay this should be more than enough i just do the jump stop steering and then aim full release in order to land right about here

[14:13:29] then go straight switch back the camera i I'm gonna release here

[14:13:34] then do a 180 right about there

[14:13:38] line up the car because i need to be completely straight right about

[14:13:42] then I'm going to brake break not going that open platform what i'm gonna do here is another stamp

[14:13:51] so we need 828 points so this is good. We've got 6662 only one minute remaining which will be more than

[14:14:01] enough then another jump like so that is going to be 759. need to be pretty clean here

[14:14:11] 790 and for the final huge center of a run there There you go, you can cheer

[14:14:17] and then we will go straight into

[14:14:19] finish time with finishing

[14:14:21] 360 so that was

[14:14:23] Chuck Minas Fenriride's

[14:14:25] puzzle 100% instant 80%, valid, done! I hope you all enjoyed that run despite the sloppy start we should say.

[14:14:36] But there you go, we have finished that campaign.

[14:14:40] Thank you so much! Is there anything else you want to say before we go?

[14:14:43] Yeah of course I would like to shout out the entire TrackMiner community

[14:14:46] Of course, different restreams especially the french

[14:14:50] history where my friends cousin and steph are commenting uh they're run right now

[14:14:56] uh this game i didn't mention it but this is a very old game so you can't play on Windows 10 because of some patch issues

[14:15:03] But someone made a new patch for the game and now you can download it

[14:15:06] So you can download it for free

[14:15:08] It's one of the best Trackmania, even though it was released back in 2005

[14:15:10] It is mostly a solo game, you have race tracks which are

[14:15:14] normal TrackManager tracks, then platform tracks where you need to finish your track

[14:15:18] with least amount of tries

[14:15:21] possible. You have a lot of different platform jumps

[14:15:23] and then you have two different game modes

[14:15:25] that are very weird and very unique

[14:15:27] called Crazy and Extreme

[14:15:29] Rage, so yeah, very good game

[14:15:32] and then of course if you want to get into the new

[14:15:34] again, you have TrackRound 2020

[14:15:35] which you can try for free right now

[14:15:38] and download it either on Steam or

[14:15:40] Ubisoft. So thank you very much you very much for having me for a third time on one of my

[14:15:45] favorite categories i hope you enjoyed it and i will see another time at Independence Day. Bye bye.

[14:19:11] What's up gamers? I'm SpikeVegeta

[14:19:14] You've been watching Games Done Quick all week.

[14:19:16] Now while watching have you said, man that looks like a lot of fun

[14:19:20] I want to get into it myself. I've been speedrunning for almost 20 years now

[14:19:24] And I am here to tell you it has never been easier to get into this super addictive amazingly

[14:23:46] Alright everyone,

[14:23:50] I just need to get a little bit of hype from chat.

[14:23:54] How cool was that TrackMania run?

[14:23:59] Oh my goodness!

[14:24:07] Unbelievable stuff from Rastats. So glad that we got to see

[14:24:09] that upgrade on the incentive

[14:24:12] because it was an incredible run thank you so much to rastats but i also wanted

[14:24:18] to talk a little bit about the incentive and that is upcoming for our Rabbit & Steel run.

[14:24:25] So, our four-player Lunar Red Darkhouse upgrade

[14:24:29] for the incentive is if met the runners will showcase

[14:24:33] a lunar difficulty run

[14:24:35] of The Red Dark House stage.

[14:24:37] And we have already raised $2,715

[14:24:42] of the 15,000 needed once again chat audience you all are totally speed running these incentives

[14:24:49] and we love to see it because it goes for a great pause Speaking of our great cause, let's take a little bit and talk about our charity.

[14:25:04] Doctors Without Borders or Medecins Sans Frontieres is an independent

[14:25:09] international organization that provides emergency medical care to the people who

[14:25:13] need it most MSF cares for people affected by conflict, disease outbreaks, disasters and social exclusion in more than 70 countries.

[14:25:24] MSF offers medical humanitarian assistance solely based on need

[14:25:29] regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or politics.

[14:25:33] MSF teams include medical, logistical and administrative

[14:25:37] staff most of them hired locally.

[14:25:40] Their actions are guided by medical ethics

[14:25:42] and the principles of independence, impartiality

[14:25:45] and neutrality.

[14:25:47] To learn more please visit Doctorswithoutborders.org and thank you everyone who has donated

[14:25:55] all but we almost have reached that seven seven seven seven seven seven we're just a few dollars short

[14:26:02] two doctors without borders this is incredible stuff and we've seen such an outpouring of love

[14:26:09] and support from all of you over the course of the week,

[14:26:12] and we are nowhere near

[14:26:14] done yet.

[14:26:28] I also wanted to give a quick update on the bid war because we've had a rabbit and steel bid war change prior to the Trekmania run, Frog

[14:26:33] for the trinket choice was in first place

[14:26:35] but Crow has now jumped

[14:26:37] to $393.70

[14:26:40] trailed very

[14:26:42] closely by Frog at $361.70.

[14:26:46] We also have the wolf, dragon, bunny and mouse available for those trinkets.

[14:26:51] If you would like to see the trinkets used by the rabbit and steel runners that's going

[14:26:56] to be coming right after tetris the grandmaster go ahead and make sure to get those in.

[14:27:07] Hey everybody and welcome to Summer Games Done

[14:27:09] Quick 2024, powered

[14:27:11] by Twitch.

[14:27:14] We have a couple of hype donations for our next run.

[14:27:18] We've got $50 from FunShine that says,

[14:27:21] Lots of love for Tetris!

[14:27:30] We also have $5 from Kiros that says,

[14:27:32] it's Tetris time.

[14:27:43] We've got $100 from Paul that says, I need that Tetris blanket. Thank you so much, Paul!

[14:27:45] We really appreciate that donation.

[14:27:50] We also have a special $50

[14:27:54] donation from Lucina that says everyone from the Tetris Book Club is excited

[14:27:58] for you. Good luck Charlotte with love, Lucina

[14:28:02] Alright audience and chat we're all set for Charlotte's

[14:28:06] Master Mode run of Tetris the Grandmaster.

[14:28:09] Charlotte is a fabulous member

[14:28:10] of the Frayn Fatales community,

[14:28:12] having been on commentary

[14:28:13] for Frost Fatales earlier this year

[14:28:15] and is excited

[14:28:16] for their first time speed running

[14:28:18] on the GDQ stage.

[14:28:20] We're ready, Charlotte.

[14:28:22] It is all you.

[14:28:28] Hello everybody. This is Tetris the Grandmaster. There is not really that much to explain, it's Tetris but I will talk you through it as we get to it.

[14:28:38] I'm going to start this run in five four three two one go

[14:28:46] so uh tetris grandmaster is a japanese arcade version of. It came out in the 90s.

[14:28:53] For many, many

[14:28:54] years it was somewhat inaccessible

[14:28:56] because it was only an

[14:28:58] arcade. There wasn't any home version of it.

[14:29:00] Just within the last couple years though,

[14:29:01] The first two games in this series have been released on

[14:29:04] PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch so

[14:29:07] This is absolutely the best time

[14:29:10] Pretty much since the game came out to get into

[14:29:13] the games. This version of Tetris is really cool

[14:29:18] you can see it's pretty fast the pieces move really quickly

[14:29:22] one thing that you may notice,

[14:29:24] it's not super apparent in the

[14:29:26] early parts of the game

[14:29:28] where the gravity is pretty low

[14:29:29] but when you rotate the pieces

[14:29:32] they kind of maintain their bottoms so it's like

[14:29:34] they're rolling across like a floor if you can

[14:29:36] imagine like the pieces is kind of like being contained in a box or rolling

[14:29:39] across the floor of that box uh this means that at higher speeds

[14:29:43] the pieces are going to

[14:29:46] just sort of like maneuver over terrain relatively easily.

[14:29:50] And as we get into higher speeds,

[14:29:52] that would be more relevant in this early part of the game,

[14:29:56] because this first game doesn't have any hard drops

[14:30:00] you need to actually push the pieces down all the way

[14:30:04] and as a result of that uh you are

[14:30:06] wasting time every uh every moment that you're spent

[14:30:10] you know just holding down personal pieces down so i try to build

[14:30:13] the well fairly high uh so that the pieces don't need to travel as far down.

[14:30:21] That was a little higher than I would like to be on a no reset run, usually

[14:30:26] you know if i'm trying to just get it

[14:30:28] run done, I like to be about half screen

[14:30:30] height for the most part.

[14:30:31] But for a PB attempt, if you watch

[14:30:34] a really high level

[14:30:35] gameplay of Tetrisris you will see

[14:30:39] uh them just like up at the absolute top of the screen you'll hear like the beeps the warnings

[14:30:44] uh all the time it's really it's kind of funny. But yeah, so...

[14:30:49] A little high again. Okay, let's just take that touchless.

[14:30:52] Oh, two line pieces

[14:30:53] in a row. This game is being so nice to me right now.

[14:30:55] I must know that I'm at SGDQ.

[14:31:03] So another thing is that every line clear you can see there's an animation it plays.

[14:31:11] It's relatively long, like 2 thirds to a second or so and I kind of think of that as like the unskippable cut scene in this game

[14:31:16] uh every time you get a line clear and so you want to try and make sure that you're clearing as many tetrises or triples as you can, just to

[14:31:21] make sure that you're not spending

[14:31:23] as much time watching that line clear animation.

[14:31:26] Just because

[14:31:27] the

[14:31:29] time that it takes for the

[14:31:32] line clear to play doesn't

[14:31:34] change depending on how many lines

[14:31:36] you clear. But you clear more lines

[14:31:38] I should also explain level systems

[14:31:40] You can see we're at level 209 right now they're at the bottom 210 211.

[14:31:43] uh so you get a level every single time you clear a line and also every time you

[14:31:48] place a piece the overall goal of the game is to get to level 999.

[14:31:54] There's a few other mechanics

[14:31:55] there, but they're not really worth getting into

[14:31:57] unless you're playing yourself.

[14:32:00] The point

[14:32:01] is, once you get to level 999 within a certain time threshold.

[14:32:05] The overall time threshold is 13 minutes 30 seconds.

[14:32:10] Along the way there are a few checkpoints basically where it checks to see

[14:32:14] if you've gotten so and so far in the

[14:32:16] game within a certain amount of time.

[14:32:19] So the very first one

[14:32:21] that's going to be coming up is level

[14:32:22] 300 which we're going gonna need to reach in under

[14:32:25] I believe it's 4 minutes 15 seconds or something like that.

[14:32:29] Which you can see that we are pretty easily on base to get. That first checkpoint

[14:32:33] is kind of not super relevant for getting a Grand Master Grade, which is the overall goal of the game.

[14:32:42] There are also grade checkpoints so you can see at the top left corner I have an S1 right now.

[14:32:48] The S1 is the first grade that's like... well it went from 9 to 1 and now it's

[14:32:54] a S1, it's gonna go up past nine let me just word it that way

[14:32:58] uh and so uh once you get uh as nine the next grade won't come until you actually finish

[14:33:05] the game and if you've met all the time requirements,

[14:33:07] then you'll get the Grand Master Grade

[14:33:10] which hopefully I can show off to everybody here today.

[14:33:15] So far so good.

[14:33:16] Can we get a quick donation in for you?

[14:33:18] By all means.

[14:33:19] Wonderful, we have $9 from Metroidfan182 that says

[14:33:23] The thing you need to know about TGM players is that none of us can read

[14:33:27] Which is whyotte makes us attend

[14:33:29] tetris book club every thursday it's been real helpful

[14:33:32] thank you so much metroid fan thank you my favorite fans shout out to

[14:33:37] the tetris foot cloud we read Tetris literature, find Tetris

[14:33:40] literature from all of the best

[14:33:41] Tetris literature repositories online

[14:33:44] We study them

[14:33:46] very closely

[14:33:46] But yeah so we passed level 300.

[14:33:50] The next gate that we're going to be trying to pass

[14:33:54] is at level 500. We are gonna need an A grade of S4

[14:33:58] and we're gonna have to do that in under

[14:34:01] seven minutes

[14:34:02] and I think it's 30 seconds.

[14:34:04] That one is

[14:34:05] a little bit trickier.

[14:34:07] You can definitely

[14:34:08] fail that

[14:34:09] on an otherwise decent run.

[14:34:12] But right now, I'm on an otherwise decent run. But right now,

[14:34:14] I'm on a fairly decent pace. I'm on an S3 going into level 400,

[14:34:16] so generally, that's about

[14:34:18] the pace you want to see, and then I have to just kind of cover

[14:34:20] that hole right now. i don't have a great

[14:34:22] immediate solve uh one thing that's uh

[14:34:24] kind of nice about the way that the

[14:34:26] uh pieces work in this game is that if

[14:34:28] you

[14:34:29] cover your well and then you just

[14:34:30] kind of like get that garbage to the bottom as long as it's not too

[14:34:34] much garbage you can kind of just ignore it for a while because the amount of time that it would

[14:34:37] take to like clear those lines uh just going out of their way to clear lines and not stacking

[14:34:44] would sort-of cost you a lot of time.

[14:34:48] I'm so sorry, I'm gonna break in really quickly because we have

[14:34:52] a $5,000 donation from Fangamer.

[14:34:57] Thank you, Fangamer.

[14:34:58] It says, hey everybody, Fangamer here.

[14:35:00] Thank you to everyone shopping

[14:35:02] the Fangamer SGDQ 2024 collection, where

[14:35:05] 100% of the profits from sales

[14:35:07] go to GDQ merch directly

[14:35:09] supports MSF's humanitarian

[14:35:11] mission. Your purchases

[14:35:13] makes these donations possible! We'll be taking orders through the end of

[14:35:16] the event, check out the full lineup at Fangamer dot com slash GDQ.

[14:35:21] Thank you so much Fangamer! much, FamGamer.

[14:35:28] Okay, the line piece came- Oh no!

[14:35:30] Uh, alright, so

[14:35:31] bit of a situation right now, uh

[14:35:34] but we have made the grade requirement

[14:35:38] for level 500 as well as the time

[14:35:42] requirement so we are still on gm pay so this is a

[14:35:45] bit of a rough situation.

[14:35:47] If you have more

[14:35:47] donations right now, I'm

[14:35:48] going to try and focus

[14:35:49] up.

[14:35:50] Oh we have so many

[14:35:51] donations coming in lots

[14:35:52] of love from Tetris

[14:35:53] lovers in the Tetris

[14:35:54] community alike.

[14:35:55] We have $50 from

[14:35:57] anonymous that says let's go tgm we've got uh oh i'm so sorry no it's fine

[14:36:06] um yeah go ahead.

[14:36:11] I don't really have time to do another full run given the time, you know

[14:36:20] estimate. So I'm just going to start at 20G mode which is gonna be the same speed

[14:36:24] as if I was...if I had made it all the way to level 500

[14:36:28] so that I can kind of talk about the 20G mechanics and show that off at least.

[14:36:30] Awesome, you've totally got this!

[14:36:36] Alright, so uh...20G um if you make it to the whole game,

[14:36:44] that's a bit embarrassing.

[14:36:45] But the rules kind of fundamentally change.

[14:36:49] So 20 G is referring

[14:36:50] to 20 times standard gravity

[14:36:52] basically, and so 1g would be

[14:36:54] when the pieces are falling

[14:36:56] one row per frame

[14:36:58] And so 20 g is twenty rows

[14:37:00] per frame For the eagle eye

[14:37:02] you'll count that there are 20 rows on the board, so the pieces basically just

[14:37:06] spawn at the bottom. There's a few things that are different about

[14:37:10] this. The main thing obviously is that you're not going to be able to just maneuver the pieces willy nilly wherever you want super easily and the big result of that is that you need to be more concerned about the physicality of the pieces.

[14:37:27] So because the pieces don't go up, they only go down in uh tgm you need to

[14:37:37] make sure that you have a stack this kind of pyramid shape so you want the

[14:37:41] middle to be the highest point that That way you can sort of slide

[14:37:45] the pieces down either to the left or to the right and

[14:37:49] uh, be able to get it to wherever it needs to go

[14:37:55] Your time for a quick donation?

[14:37:57] Please do!

[14:37:58] We have $20 from Manager that says,

[14:38:00] This is Manny from the Dread community

[14:38:02] You've got this Charlotte

[14:38:04] Line-em up Grandmaster style.

[14:38:06] You're doing it so fabulously. We also have

[14:38:09] $25 from Lurker Spine

[14:38:11] that says, It's always amazing

[14:38:13] to watch top-level Tetris.

[14:38:14] Good luck, Grandmaster!

[14:38:19] Thank you so much for those donations

[14:38:25] yeah shout outs to the metro dread community that's uh sort of the place where I started Tetris Book Club.

[14:38:27] They've been really supportive and weirdly for this unrelated game, there is a very strong

[14:38:33] tetris community there so if you want a strong Petrus community maybe think about Best Friend Dread.

[14:38:43] Time for a few more?

[14:38:45] Yeah please do!

[14:38:46] Wonderful. Well real quick I wanted to give you an update on that 4-player Lunar Red Darkhouse incentive

[14:38:51] We're already up to $3,976 of the 15,000 needed

[14:38:55] That's 26% of the way there for that extra part of rabbit and steel.

[14:39:00] And we definitely want to see that,

[14:39:02] but in the meantime,

[14:39:03] we have $10 from Mr.

[14:39:04] Art of arc that says my wife and I love GDQ and we're hyped for Tetris

[14:39:09] stay safe and beautiful and speedy

[14:39:12] we also have 250 from laptop 765 no comment but thank you so much for your generous donation we've got ten10 from Poetics that says, I cannot believe the amount of skill required to speedrun Tetris while giving such deep commentary. Keep it up! Charlotte! This commentary is fantastic. Thank you for explaining all of it.

[14:39:44] Oh yeah, of course thank you. I appreciate that a lot.

[14:39:50] So other mechanics that are interesting about Tetris the Grandmaster specifically.

[14:39:57] There's a system called IRS where effectively you can initially rotate the piece.

[14:40:04] There's an IRS stamp for initial rotate system, so if you just hold the rotate button

[14:40:08] as the piece spawns in it'll already be rotated which sounds a little bit

[14:40:12] useless until you think about the fact that

[14:40:14] the physicality of the pieces matters so much at 20G. So sometimes,

[14:40:18] the piece's default spawn location because in this game the pieces spawn pointy side down

[14:40:22] The default spawn location would kind of get stuck on

[14:40:25] the terrain in a way that wouldn't allow you to maneuver the piece in a

[14:40:29] way that you would want to. But if you had the piece rotated already

[14:40:33] on the first frame then you'll be able to get it into places that otherwise would

[14:40:36] be impossible. And it's little things like that I think make this version of Tenders

[14:40:40] really special is just everything was crafted around the idea of going fast

[14:40:44] and being careful about how you stack clean and fast. Perfect. Alrighty.

[14:41:03] So, you know... I'm a little sorry that I couldn't finish out the full run, but hopefully this has been

[14:41:11] an enjoyable showcase of Tetris The Grandmaster. These high speeds are really, really cool.

[14:41:19] And like I said at the top, this version of Tetris used to be really inaccessible but now it's available on PS4 and Switch

[14:41:26] So never been a better time. There's

[14:41:29] so many healthy

[14:41:30] great Tetris communities online

[14:41:33] and it's a really

[14:41:35] fun version of Tetris. So I think that

[14:41:37] everybody should definitely give it a shot if you're interested at all in playing Tetris fast or even just playing like an interesting version of Tetris.

[14:41:44] The second game in the series has a lot of cool modes,

[14:41:47] It has like a two player mode and like, a mode where

[14:41:50] pieces spawn in weird ways or you get weird items

[14:41:54] throughout the game so it's a really cool series. I highly recommend

[14:41:58] to anybody.

[14:42:05] And, uh, I would like to give a shout out to again the Tetris Foot Club

[14:42:07] The Metroid Dread community

[14:42:12] My friends in Michigan and Arizona

[14:42:13] and everybody who

[14:42:16] has supported me

[14:42:18] on my Tetris journey

[14:42:27] a gm grade so shout out to my wife, shout out to all my friends.

[14:42:36] It's been very helpful.

[14:49:43] Alright,

[14:49:44] how about that? I hope y'all have been picking up

[14:49:46] those t-shirts and showing off your merch

[14:49:48] as well, and I hope you also check out Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble

[14:49:51] as we get ready for our next run, which will be Rabbit and Steel.

[14:49:55] Let's check in on a couple of things that have been going on today.

[14:49:57] All right, friends?

[14:49:58] So currently we have an incentive that is open and it

[14:50:01] Is so important that we talk about this one because it is

[14:50:05] Coming up very shortly. So we currently have an incentive open

[14:50:09] For a four player Lunar Red Darkhouse showcase.

[14:50:14] If met, the runners will showcase a lunar difficulty run of the Red Darkhouse stage

[14:50:19] after the main Rabbit and Steel Run so this is something that you will not get to see

[14:50:23] if we do not miss this incentive or if we do not make this incentive rather, and you

[14:50:28] will not want to miss it. We are currently sitting at $4,859 out of the 15,000 that we need for it.

[14:50:35] Putting us at about 32%.

[14:50:38] So listen I don't want to alarm all y'all but if we want to see this

[14:50:41] we have to act fast okay speedrunners let's

[14:50:45] get those donations flying in as quickly as we can and when you are sending those

[14:50:49] in make sure that you are assigning it to the proper incentive.

[14:50:55] For example, we had a $50 donation from ZB who says,

[14:51:00] got to see that Lunar Rabbit and Steel Run.

[14:51:03] You got it. We are well working towards that

[14:51:10] we also had a 25 donation from cozy for who says, now more than ever

[14:51:16] does an organization like MSF

[14:51:18] need our donations for the benefit of

[14:51:20] others suffering from the world's calamities.

[14:51:22] Donating for the Lunar Red

[14:51:24] because those rabbits need more steel or something.

[14:51:27] I haven't played it yet, so not only can you support this...

[14:51:30] Hey! We're gonna learn more about this incredible game that will be coming up shortly.

[14:51:34] I do want to update that we did just cross the $5,000 mark for that incentive

[14:51:39] which is just wonderful. Let's keep it coming folks!

[14:51:42] Y'all are doing great.

[14:51:45] I see we have someone continuing the train from earlier, so I think we can keep it chugging

[14:51:51] along the track shall we?

[14:51:53] We had $21 from The Last Loss who says three tickets for the seven dollar train please so here we go friends

[14:52:01] if we start up this train we can work well towards that lunar red dark house and see

[14:52:06] how that goes all right I've brought the tickets.

[14:52:09] You bring the fun.

[14:52:10] We can all have a party together.

[14:52:15] We also had $50 from Syabear who says,

[14:52:19] Rabbit and Steel has been my absolute favorite

[14:52:22] game of 2024.

[14:52:24] Playing it with four people feels

[14:52:26] like you're in a symphony. Let's see

[14:52:28] that lunar showcase.

[14:52:35] There is so much love coming in for this run that is coming up which is just so lovely to see and if you need a little

[14:52:38] bit more encouragement let's talk a little bit about where these donations are going towards as well.

[14:52:46] So not only are we working toward this wonderful incentive every single dollar goes towards Doctors Without Borders.

[14:52:52] Also known as Médecins Sans Frontières,

[14:52:56] which is an independent international organization that provides emergency medical

[14:53:00] care to the people who need it most.

[14:53:02] MSF cares for people affected by conflict, disease outbreaks, disasters

[14:53:06] and social exclusion in more than 70 countries.

[14:53:10] MSF offers medical humanitarian assistance solely based on need, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or politics.

[14:53:18] MSF teams include medical, logistical and administrative staff, most of them hired locally

[14:53:24] their actions are guided by medical

[14:53:26] ethics and the principles of independence

[14:53:28] impartiality and neutrality

[14:53:30] to learn more please visit

[14:53:32] doctorswithoutborders.org

[14:53:35] So just to show that every single dollar is so important

[14:53:39] we can show for example that for every ten dollars

[14:53:42] that can buy enough vaccine to immunize 45 people against poliovirus, 15 treatments to cure children from malaria and clean drinking water for 147 people for one week.

[14:53:55] And that is just with ten dollars, so again every single dollar goes to a great cause.

[14:54:00] Checking in on our incentive we are at five thousand six hundred and forty four dollars

[14:54:05] out of the fifteen,000 that we need.

[14:54:08] So let's keep it rolling.

[14:54:09] That run is coming up very,

[14:54:11] very soon so we do not want to miss out on that one.

[14:54:15] We had a hundred and fifty dollars come in from Leviathan who says, I heart bunnies.

[14:54:20] Agreed.

[14:54:24] We also had $50 from Atmos Break who says,

[14:54:28] Rabbit and Steel! Let's go!

[14:54:37] Talking about the previous run here we had some more love come in.

[14:54:40] $25 from Bibi who says just wanted to say that was an amazing Tetris Grandmaster Showcase.

[14:54:47] I started playing at the beginning of this year and

[14:54:51] trying to speedrun! This encouraged me to keep going, and improve even more. Thanks

[14:54:57] Charlotte! And thanks so much for your donations. We love seeing those coming in, we love seeing the support for our runners and the support for our charity as well.

[14:55:07] Y'all we are so close to $6000 already towards our incentive.

[14:55:11] Let's keep rolling towards that.

[14:55:13] We have been flying through this already

[14:55:15] So I believe in all of you

[14:55:17] It is so possible

[14:55:18] We've already gone up pretty much a thousand dollars

[14:55:20] in the last couple of minutes here and we bumped up even

[14:55:23] further to $6,343

[14:55:29] We had one hundred dollars coming from Wolf8x who says, more rabbits, more steel.

[14:55:35] Indeed and we can get both more rabbits and more steel by hitting that incentive listen, you're doing it right.

[14:55:58] Talking about our previous run as well, we had $10 from Little Arrow Soaps who says, As someone whose never even made it past grade 3 of this game i'm in awe of what i just saw well done charlotte

[14:56:06] well done indeed it was so wonderful to see that showcase thank you so much.

[14:56:19] We had $25 come in from Kaiul

[14:56:20] who says, a huge thanks to all the

[14:56:23] incredible people that make this event happen,

[14:56:25] both behind the scenes and in the spotlight.

[14:56:28] And thanks so much to you as well,

[14:56:30] the folks who have been donating as well.

[14:56:32] We appreciate you so,

[14:56:34] so very much.

[14:56:37] Just want to share that we have crossed the $6500

[14:56:41] mark as well towards our incentive putting us at 43%

[14:56:44] which is almost 50%.

[14:56:46] I always joke that

[14:56:47] I'm horrible at math,

[14:56:48] but listen.

[14:56:49] I can do a little bit here

[14:56:50] if it means getting to

[14:56:51] that incentive all right?

[14:56:52] I will try my hardest.

[14:56:53] But math is not my forte.

[14:56:58] We had $50 from Samuel who says,

[14:57:00] greetings from Italy everyone!

[14:57:02] I've been watching GDQ events

[14:57:04] for the last five to six years

[14:57:06] and I always love

[14:57:07] the stuff that you do.

[14:57:08] And I want to thank you

[14:57:09] for everything that you do

[14:57:10] from the charity

[14:57:11] to the event itself.

[14:57:12] Less than three.

[14:57:14] Thank you so much, Samuel.

[14:57:15] We appreciate you.

[14:57:18] All right, everybody. much Samuel we appreciate you.

[14:57:23] Alright everybody, we have some wonderful news for all of you the time is now our next run rabbit and and Steel 4 Player Hard Showcase is ready to roll.

[14:57:32] So coming up we have this wonderful run from Coral Reef, Akko, Frozen Phlegon and Spirialis.

[14:57:38] Let's get started!

[14:57:44] Hey man. Hello everyone welcome to

[14:57:48] Rabbit in Steel I'm Akko also known as a chocolate orange

[14:57:51] I am this pink bunny over here

[14:57:54] I am person black on green call me Kort

[14:57:56] And the Green Bunny up here

[14:57:58] I'm Spirialis, I am the yellow bunny down here.

[14:58:00] And I'm Coral Reef, I'm the scion bunny over here.

[14:58:03] But we know that's a little hard to follow so we brought a little visual aid for y'all.

[14:58:12] Thank you very much, and before we get started real quick Lana could you tell

[14:58:16] us what won the trinket bid war? Yeah absolutely let's check in on that

[14:58:19] trinkets so we had Bunny in the lead, just barely.

[14:58:23] Just barely.

[14:58:24] By $3.

[14:58:25] Thanks so much to everyone who supported that.

[14:58:28] That is one of my two favorites,

[14:58:29] the other being The Frog

[14:58:30] because it matches with quartz

[14:58:32] palette anyway with that said we'll be starting in three two one go steal yourself all right so rabbit and Steel is a co-op raiding roguelike.

[14:58:46] It's inspired by Final Fantasy XIV in terms of mechanics

[14:58:51] And inspired by Touhou in terms of the sort of like core gameplay.

[14:58:55] Like you'll see that I have this little circle at the center

[14:58:57] of me, that's my hitbox

[14:58:59] And I'm moving around on this 2D plane

[14:59:00] and dodging all these bullets and attacks

[14:59:03] We each have four abilities and dodging all of these bullets and attacks.

[14:59:07] We each have four abilities that we are using to defeat these bosses, or enemies generally.

[14:59:11] The primary and secondary which are your usual rotation

[14:59:14] and then a special and a defensive

[14:59:16] which makes you invulnerable for a short amount of time

[14:59:18] We also have these items to augment

[14:59:20] those so let me see what I want here

[14:59:22] You want my grandmas spear right?

[14:59:24] Oh no no no No I want the Katana

[14:59:26] Uh...I'll take this. So yeah random pool of items come out

[14:59:30] of the treasure sphere there we all get one. That is the roguelike element alongside

[14:59:34] shops which we'll see later

[14:59:36] right now we're just in kingdom outskirts so we have some random

[14:59:39] encounters that um involve uh enemies from the various

[14:59:44] areas with somewhat subdued mechanics.

[14:59:48] But now you can read a quick donation, Lana? Yeah, absolutely!

[14:59:52] So we have $50 from Space Explore

[14:59:56] Unit who says,

[14:59:59] Rabbit and Steel is a phenomenal game.

[15:00:01] We have to see Lunar Mode, y'all!

[15:00:04] I haven't even beaten the game on hard yet.

[15:00:05] Shout-outs to Percy,

[15:00:06] who got me into the game.

[15:00:08] Thanks, Bestie Lesson 3. Just want to shout out that we are

[15:00:09] at $7,118 towards our

[15:00:13] $15,000 incentive. Almost halfway there folks so let's keep those donations

[15:00:17] rolling in and we can see this Lunar Red Darkhouse incentive get met, alright?

[15:00:22] Yeah y'all absolutely do want to see that. That is the hardest difficulty in the game.

[15:00:27] We only have 3 HP in that mode, and the mechanics are very punishing.

[15:00:32] So you'll want to see that.

[15:00:33] Absolutely.

[15:00:35] We can take this time to now talk about our characters

[15:00:37] and why we've chosen these four.

[15:00:40] Thank you. That was awesome. we've chosen these four. Yep, that's the outfield.

[15:00:41] That sounds good.

[15:00:43] We're going into King's Arsenal.

[15:00:45] Real quick I am The Bruiser

[15:00:47] I'm typically trying to get primary items and use

[15:00:49] this ability called Berserk that lets me attack really quickly.

[15:00:55] I'm playing the yellow dancer bunny, uh this bunny is kind of the support

[15:00:59] class of the game. The main thing about my class is that when I use my defensive, it gives

[15:01:04] the whole team a 20% damage buff for 5 seconds so it just increases

[15:01:10] the whole teams damage up by quite a bit.

[15:01:14] Yeah, my bunny is the Spell Sword Bunny

[15:01:18] so the main gimmick is that I have a resource

[15:01:20] that I can generate with my secondary

[15:01:22] that makes all of my abilities hit twice and what I'm a congenitor with my secondary that makes all my abilities hit twice.

[15:01:24] And what I am looking for is mostly either a rapid fire build or more of a kind of like nuke

[15:01:30] That happens every ten seconds

[15:01:32] Wind did not let me dash, my bad.

[15:01:33] Hey!

[15:01:34] Oh first one.

[15:01:37] Yeah so as you can see your teammates are just as much the obstacles

[15:01:40] As they are your allies when it comes to...

[15:01:44] My defensive wants me down! as they are your allies when it comes to...

[15:01:48] My defensive lets me dash, but Wind screws it up! You can still dash.

[15:01:52] But yeah I'm playing the Ancient Bunny

[15:01:54] I am very much

[15:01:56] the most cooldown focused character

[15:01:58] of uh..the four here and

[15:02:00] I would say any of the characters in

[15:02:02] the game. Yeah.

[15:02:04] Ancient is all about juggling between different cooldowns to reset or decrease other cooldowns.

[15:02:08] And yeah, as you can see I have this augment on my defensive now that's the fourth ability

[15:02:14] you can see next to my bunny

[15:02:17] which allows me to press it every four seconds and give me a charge on my secondary.

[15:02:21] So that is one of our other main tools when it comes to increasing

[15:02:25] our damage is in the shop you get these gems that change how each of your abilities

[15:02:31] work. All right here's Tasha! Yes, Tasha is everyone's favorite character. Say hi Tasha! Hi Tasha! Thank you! She does a bunch of cleaves and

[15:02:42] she puts one on almost every one of her sometimes, you'll see in this next attack there are going

[15:02:47] to be four of her.

[15:02:48] And there's a lot to read on the screen!

[15:02:50] This is even harder on Lunar by the way.

[15:02:52] There's like 4 cleaves, 3 circles...

[15:02:54] It's really hard to read.

[15:02:57] But it's also a lot of fun.

[15:02:59] And Tasha really enjoys...

[15:03:01] I believe it's up here, right?

[15:03:01] Yep.

[15:03:02] Okay, nice.

[15:03:03] That was a hard one.

[15:03:04] Oh, small space.

[15:03:05] Yeah.

[15:03:06] As we're finishing up Tasha

[15:03:07] it's probably a good time

[15:03:07] for another quick donation or two.

[15:03:09] Yeah,

[15:03:09] we actually have some love for Tasha here!

[15:03:10] We have $500 from Tom who says

[15:03:12] Oh my God!

[15:03:16] I do want to shout out as well that

[15:03:18] we are at $8,348 towards

[15:03:21] that $15,000 incentive already putting us at 55%.

[15:03:25] That is incredible work folks. We also

[15:03:29] have $50 from Am amerlin who says go court aqua spirialis and coral y'all got this bunny

[15:03:38] funny thank you so! That was great.

[15:03:41] Wonderful donations.

[15:03:42] But yeah we are in the wolf area right now.

[15:03:46] Ooh nice.

[15:03:48] And the lore of The Wolves is that after whatever evil thing happened in the kingdom, they all started fighting each other for control of the pack.

[15:03:59] Oh my goodness! But I have...

[15:04:02] ...I have Emerald Defensive.

[15:04:04] Do I take it anywhere?

[15:04:05] I'd take it anywhere right?

[15:04:07] Yeah why not?

[15:04:08] Why not?

[15:04:09] Another thing that happens when you get an item is

[15:04:10] you get a heal of two in hard so even though

[15:04:13] I took off two health from me and Akko

[15:04:15] we're back in business. Wait

[15:04:16] I have Pigeon Bow! I have 0 cooldown

[15:04:19] Pigeon Bow, let's go

[15:04:19] Here is Miran, the area boss

[15:04:23] combines a lot of the other mechanics that we've seen so far

[15:04:25] and it will also see

[15:04:27] a phase two. So every area boss has

[15:04:29] two phases and then they transform

[15:04:31] and things get a little spicy.

[15:04:33] Uh-huh. So as I mentioned before they, fighting each other for control of the pack and Muran has constantly been winning. Tasha came all the way from up north to try and win control of the pack as well.

[15:04:45] But hasn't quite managed to beat Miran yet,

[15:04:49] but don't worry at the end of the story they become friends.

[15:04:51] Spoiler alert!

[15:04:53] Spoiler alert everyone becomes friends at the end.

[15:04:55] It's cute. buy this game play

[15:04:58] this game uh go ahead and read a donation right now if you have a chance absolutely we

[15:05:03] have 100 from nost who says rabbit and steel is my game of the year for 2024.

[15:05:08] Let's get that incentive finished.

[15:05:10] Y'all do not want to miss Red Dark

[15:05:12] House Lunar. Yes, absolutely.

[15:05:14] We are going through three

[15:05:16] areas in hard mode here. We're going to be going through three areas in hard mode here.

[15:05:18] We're going to be going through King's Arsenal, the wolf area,

[15:05:21] followed by Emerald Lakeside, the frogs,

[15:05:24] and then Trickmo Streets,

[15:05:26] which three guesses on what that one is.

[15:05:29] But there's also two other areas, Red Dark House and

[15:05:33] Scholar's Nest, and I have been told if we have time

[15:05:37] If you meet the incentive, we can show off both of those

[15:05:40] areas. So make sure to get that money

[15:05:42] and you might get a little bonus along with it.

[15:05:45] Yeah would you like an update

[15:05:46] on it quickly? Sure absolutely.

[15:05:47] So we are at $8,438 dollars 56% of the way there.

[15:05:53] For example, we had this 40 dollars from Crystal Ships who says,

[15:05:56] Chat can we get this Lunar Difficulty Incentive funded?

[15:05:59] It's very impressive and these four gamers are so

[15:06:03] skilled in cool so you will enjoy watching it shout outs to the celeste community channel

[15:06:09] hi crystal yeah that's less community shout out to the Celeste community.

[15:06:12] Shout out to R2Pha.

[15:06:14] I have to keep wiggling.

[15:06:16] I did not find a safe spot.

[15:06:18] So this is Miran's special signature move.

[15:06:20] Each area boss has

[15:06:22] some kind of a special move that they do during their

[15:06:24] second phase, you'll see that she has

[15:06:26] transformed into her true

[15:06:28] wolf form here

[15:06:29] and her special move

[15:06:33] is that she makes us do this

[15:06:35] micro adjustment

[15:06:37] sort of style

[15:06:39] of play. You get this

[15:06:41] temporal slowdown sort of effect, and

[15:06:44] you cannot use your defensive. It says no invulnerability but I believe

[15:06:48] if you have invulnerability on something else it would still let you do it right Spirialis?

[15:06:52] Uh...I believe so They might have changed that

[15:06:54] for the most reason up to now

[15:06:56] We're playing on a branch

[15:06:58] that the devs

[15:07:00] specifically made for us

[15:07:02] Huge huge shoutout to Mino the solo developer of this game who when I reached out to him was like yeah totally

[15:07:08] I can make a branch for you so that we could set the order of regions that you're going to

[15:07:13] So we can showcase it exactly how we want to.

[15:07:16] It's amazing! Can we get some cheers in the audience for Amina?

[15:07:20] Thank you so much! Absolutely.

[15:07:24] It's been great for practice. We can just set like triple dark house, it's awesome.

[15:07:28] And that's Farad!

[15:07:30] That's the first area down. Pretty good pace so far.

[15:07:35] By the way I didn't say anything but in

[15:07:37] the middle of that i totally pressed

[15:07:42] oh this is emerald lakeside um here, you're going to want

[15:07:48] turn the music up a little bit. This area is filled with artists

[15:07:52] You have Blush The Painter Frog by the way

[15:07:56] You've got Blush the painter frog, you've got Lene the songstress I believe.

[15:08:02] Mav the seamstress and Aby the starry frog.

[15:08:07] So... I'll go bot top top top and A.B., the starry frog.

[15:08:10] I'll go top, top, top.

[15:08:11] Oh, where am I going?

[15:08:13] It worked, it worked.

[15:08:15] I was too busy explaining.

[15:08:16] Not bad.

[15:08:19] Coral's the new shot caller now.

[15:08:20] I'll go down?

[15:08:25] Alright so you'll see that we get a couple of new mechanics in each area Here we get introduced to matching colors as well as this sort of chain tether that we have.

[15:08:29] Wait, you can actually go fully outside there? That was chill!

[15:08:35] Another thing UCS do is obviously like try to position our characters for damage

[15:08:38] so me and Coral are trying to be horizontal with the boss

[15:08:41] as much as possible, to do our attacks

[15:08:43] And it's really important

[15:08:45] positioning for us to go as fast as possible

[15:08:47] Do as much damage as possible

[15:08:49] Because you can just skip mechanics by killing early.

[15:08:52] And the next mechanics we're introduced to here

[15:08:54] are keep moving and stop moving.

[15:08:56] They do what they say on the tin.

[15:08:59] Pretty much.

[15:09:00] Lana, you want to say something?

[15:09:01] Absolutely! Let's chat.

[15:09:03] So I have a little challenge for everybody actually

[15:09:05] because I see something really snazzy here

[15:09:07] so in order to meet our incentive we need

[15:09:09] $6362 remaining

[15:09:12] now if you see our donation total towards Doctors Without Borders

[15:09:15] We're at $790,000

[15:09:18] which means that we are well on our way to hitting $800,000

[15:09:21] and by meeting this incentive we can get even closer there. So how do we work together

[15:09:26] and try to get as close to that as possible alright?

[15:09:28] So we also had some love $50 from Josh who said I've been playing plenty of Rabbit and Steel. Hard is pretty

[15:09:35] hard but Lunar is just another

[15:09:37] level that people need to

[15:09:39] see. So you heard it here

[15:09:41] first. Let's get that incentive folks and let's

[15:09:43] work towards 800,000 shall we? Yeah, 800 000 shall we yeah thank you so much here

[15:09:47] we have a lot of fun matching colors to do blush is one of my favorite fights in the game blush as

[15:09:52] you might see on the top right is the Painter Frog so of course she gives us some

[15:09:56] extra colors to work with.

[15:09:58] It's worth mentioning we didn't mention this before but

[15:10:00] each area has two basic encounters

[15:10:02] which are random between

[15:10:04] 2 variants and then there's the mini boss which is what we're

[15:10:06] in right now followed by the final area boss! And each generally what happens is

[15:10:18] Each of the basic encounters introduces mechanics

[15:10:21] The mini boss gives you a slightly higher complexity version

[15:10:24] Of something and then the final boss

[15:10:28] puts it all together, I just pressed

[15:10:30] defensive but its okay because we're about to

[15:10:32] win

[15:10:36] There you go.

[15:10:39] After each mini-boss,

[15:10:40] we do get one additional item.

[15:10:43] Again, that's one of the two major roguelike elements

[15:10:45] of this,

[15:10:46] is that you have these items

[15:10:47] as well as the shops

[15:10:48] as your options for how to progress

[15:10:50] um i don't love any of these if someone

[15:10:55] else wants queen's crown though

[15:10:57] uh can i go on crown yeah can i buy you for it you want it all right I can have Queen's Crown though. Can I have Queen's Crown?

[15:11:00] Yeah.

[15:11:01] Can I fight you for it?

[15:11:02] You want to...

[15:11:03] Alright, sure.

[15:11:05] Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

[15:11:08] Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

[15:11:10] Alright, you got it.

[15:11:14] Thanks dad

[15:11:18] So this is AB the Starry Frog You might have noticed that in the rest of this area there was a lot of singing happening.

[15:11:22] Avey is a very famous artist now and doesn't have time to spend with her friends,

[15:11:32] doesn't really collab with her smaller artist friends anymore.

[15:11:37] And that's the main story but don't worry they become friends in the end!

[15:11:41] We already spoiled that

[15:11:44] yeah a lot of keep when we stop moving going on we also have these little spreads so you

[15:11:47] have to keep moving but not run into your uh teammates which is hard to do

[15:11:51] but yeah it's a good time for some donations as we

[15:11:53] do phase one. Yeah, we have some love here

[15:11:55] so we have $50 from Corvimey

[15:11:57] who says, Hi

[15:11:59] Cortnago! Really excited that

[15:12:01] run is finally here so you can stop practicing the whole time and start playing FFXIV with me.

[15:12:08] Donation goes to Runner's Choice, assuming the runner's choice is Lunar Difficulty.

[15:12:14] Oh it absolutely is we'd love to see that happen. I did download Final Fantasy XIV

[15:12:16] and start playing with Mae so it's over.

[15:12:19] Come on Kort, we are at $9000 already

[15:12:22] over the 9000 towards our 15 thousand So that's 60% of the way there. Let's keep pushing folks

[15:12:27] We are doing so well

[15:12:29] But time is short I do want to point out that the estimate for this run is 35 minutes and we're already at 14

[15:12:34] So yeah, let's keep

[15:12:36] pushing all right folks. Time is short.

[15:12:38] We're actually doing really well

[15:12:40] on damage so it might even come in under that.

[15:12:42] So you better hurry up.

[15:12:45] We're racing.

[15:12:46] That Queen's Crown really helped, thanks, Akko.

[15:12:48] True!

[15:12:51] Alright, phase two.

[15:12:52] This is a really, really fun

[15:12:53] elaboration on the fall of the color

[15:12:56] attack. As mentioned before she

[15:12:58] is a singer so of course she makes us play osu

[15:13:04] uh the approach is pretty low though so. So it's honestly harder because of that

[15:13:08] because I always try and overshoot.

[15:13:12] My headcanon, by the way, in this area

[15:13:14] is that Amy herself

[15:13:15] is singing

[15:13:15] the Emerald Lakeside music because as soon as you...

[15:13:18] Oh, I was not.

[15:13:19] I'm in the middle right?

[15:13:20] Or is it...?

[15:13:21] I think its me.

[15:13:22] Oops!

[15:13:23] As soon as you get into the boss fight

[15:13:24] the singing stops.

[15:13:25] How do you explain that huh?

[15:13:27] That makes sense to me. Time for a little bit of stops. How do you explain that, huh? It's interesting.

[15:13:28] Time for another donation

[15:13:31] too. For sure. We have

[15:13:33] $50 from Amber Loves Archie

[15:13:35] who says, shoutouts to my friends

[15:13:37] on RNS from the back couch.

[15:13:39] It's been awesome seeing y'all go

[15:13:41] from chaos and voice calls

[15:13:43] to coordinated gameplay on the big stage.

[15:13:45] Shoutouts to The City, let's see some more Lunar!

[15:13:49] Thank you Amber! let's see some more Lunar. Shouts to the city.

[15:13:51] Thank you so much, Amber.

[15:13:52] Do you have time for another one?

[15:13:53] Yeah.

[15:13:54] We have $10 from Bree12am

[15:13:56] who says

[15:13:57] extremely goaded

[15:13:58] rabbit and seal team

[15:13:59] best of rabbit luck to everyone!

[15:14:01] Shoutouts to Frozen,

[15:14:05] my Lunar Duo with so much fun learning mechanics

[15:14:07] with you. We gotta see the lunar

[15:14:09] showcase come on let's reach that incentive!

[15:14:12] Oh my gosh, thank you so much both of y'all.

[15:14:15] We have a server where we've been learning this and playing it together.

[15:14:18] Alright there it is. That's 80.

[15:14:21] I'm winning by the way. There it is. That's 80.

[15:14:25] I'm winning, by the way. Just so everyone knows. Our damage numbers are pretty evenly spread though.

[15:14:29] It's that Queen's Crown.

[15:14:32] Yay!

[15:14:34] Oh, I just got the Rabbit Luck upgrade

[15:14:36] which is going to go crazy with that Golden Katana

[15:14:39] So what Rabbit Luck does

[15:14:41] it changes the buff that I give the team from,

[15:14:46] It used to just be a Warcry which was just a flat 20% damage buff for the whole team.

[15:14:51] And now instead gives a buff that makes it so that any percent chances

[15:14:54] anyone on the team has during that time will always occur. Yeah, y'all are gonna see

[15:14:58] some silly right now. It also increases crit chance

[15:15:02] which is going to be really good with Quarrel's

[15:15:05] Queen's Crown.

[15:15:07] Which increases crit damage

[15:15:09] from the base of 30% to

[15:15:11] 60%, so it just doubles that chance.

[15:15:15] I also have Red Tanzaku, which we didn't really talk about

[15:15:18] but it has a chance to do

[15:15:21] a few random miracle effects

[15:15:24] I don't know if there's any way to affect that with rabbit luck, interestingly enough.

[15:15:28] I wonder...

[15:15:29] Mino, if you're watching this...

[15:15:30] Let us know!

[15:15:32] Can you tell us?

[15:15:34] All right but yeah we are here in Church House Streets. The gimmick of this area is that we have this heavy and very heavy thing you can see happening here

[15:15:40] But also a lot of the fights are like duo-fights

[15:15:43] And the area boss they're going to summon little mice to fight us

[15:15:46] It's really cute i love this area

[15:15:49] um mati the boss of this area is a paladin mouse and the lore

[15:15:54] is that these mice are trying to protect the streets of this kingdom

[15:15:58] that we're in, and anyone they perceive as an intruder

[15:16:02] is evil according to them. So they will attack.

[15:16:06] Mati very valiantly tries to fight us and all her friends will come and join in.

[15:16:11] It's really cute.

[15:16:13] Can I give a quick update on the incentive quickly?

[15:16:15] Absolutely!

[15:16:16] So we are at $10,779.

[15:16:21] Which puts us at 71% of the way there

[15:16:24] which means less than

[15:16:25] $5,000 folks.

[15:16:28] Let's get those rolling in.

[15:16:30] We had $50 from Dusty Tome saying donating to see more rabbits on stream. Let's go, lunar difficulty!

[15:16:34] Thank you all so much. We've been practicing all week and we really want

[15:16:38] to show it off soon. Thank you all so much. We've been practicing all week and we really,

[15:16:41] really want to show it off, so please get those donations in!

[15:16:45] God our damage got so much better than the artwork. Yeah, my numbers

[15:16:49] is going to be very silly.

[15:16:52] Time for another donation.

[15:16:54] We have $50 from

[15:16:56] Chernsel who says

[15:16:57] Rabbit and Steel is an awesome game.

[15:17:00] Let's make Lunar happen! We also had $150 from Brian Shrimp who says,

[15:17:06] gotta see someone do Lunar because I can't. Thanks for your honesty. We appreciate you so much.

[15:17:14] Really good damage. Whoa! There's the Tansaku that I mentioned before, it gave me a heal and I didn't need a heal.

[15:17:21] It gave you full health

[15:17:24] um obsidian is anyone taking that one

[15:17:29] i don't think so do i have loot cool

[15:17:31] dance

[15:17:32] i can't i'll take mountain staff, though.

[15:17:35] If no one else wants it, I'll take it and hope.

[15:17:42] Something else to mention about this area, I suppose are the specific mechanics that we saw.

[15:17:45] You noticed that we had those tethers that we had to stretch.

[15:17:49] If you're not far enough away from whatever your tethered to

[15:17:53] typically your allies

[15:17:58] You will simply take damage.

[15:18:02] A big focus of this area is these knockbacks

[15:18:08] As we saw right there. As well as heavy and very heavy status effects which makes it

[15:18:11] so that your move speed is set to a specific value.

[15:18:13] That was tight.

[15:18:14] It's a little squishy there

[15:18:22] i i pressed defensive again i'm unbinding it after this uh

[15:18:26] after this fight all right this attack is really tricky arguably Arguably harder than the Lunar version.

[15:18:27] You gotta get to the right color and then wait for the moose to pass and get in there very quickly.

[15:18:31] It's cool though. I like this one.

[15:18:34] Nice.

[15:18:35] Nice?

[15:18:38] Sweet! Sorry go ahead.

[15:18:42] We're just gonna line up here and then we don't really have to move much

[15:18:44] Then we'll be getting into phase 2 soon

[15:18:46] So a quick donation here would be great

[15:18:48] yeah for sure big update we're at eleven thousand dollars towards our incentive less than 4 000

[15:18:54] needed we are flying folks listen i am so proud of y'all, okay? You're making

[15:19:00] great work! We have $1,000

[15:19:02] from So who says

[15:19:04] LUNAR DIFFICULTY!!!

[15:19:06] Hi, So! Hi, So!

[15:19:08] Thank you so much! Oh my gosh, thank you!

[15:19:10] So as you saw...

[15:19:12] We just switched to phase 2

[15:19:14] Maddie transformed into a mouse and

[15:19:16] called on all her friends

[15:19:18] but we have really good AOE, we have Rabbit Luck

[15:19:21] alongside the Golden Katana

[15:19:23] which as you can see is dealing 500

[15:19:25] damage every time Court presses Primary

[15:19:27] I believe it's you that has it right? Yeah

[15:19:29] So... I took it very selfishly so I could win. And it has a massive AOE and

[15:19:33] so it just hits all of the mice on

[15:19:36] screen and just demolishes them.

[15:19:39] Right to explain that combo a little bit more uh

[15:19:41] I explained Rabbit Luck but the Golden Katana itself just has a 5% chance to deal 500 damage every time you use Primary or Secondary.

[15:19:49] So Rabbit Luck turns that 5% into 100%.

[15:19:53] Are we ready?

[15:19:54] Let's practice.

[15:19:55] Wait hold on.

[15:19:56] I don't remember what this looks like.

[15:19:59] Okay okay okay.

[15:20:01] I think I got it.

[15:20:08] We love doing our endless paint diagrams for

[15:20:10] us.

[15:20:12] It's worth mentioning what the smaller mice actually do here,

[15:20:16] each one of them is summoning

[15:20:18] one of the mechanics that you see on screen

[15:20:20] unfortunately we're killing them so fast

[15:20:22] that you probably won't see them.

[15:20:24] But maybe we'll get to see one of them here? Yeah!

[15:20:26] You'll see one of them put these tethers on us and we've cleared that

[15:20:30] And then one of them put the line on us and that just got cleared

[15:20:33] Now we have only 1 tether one i didn't even see where the

[15:20:36] last one was i'm so confused all right here you need to be up here coral no all good okay

[15:20:45] what if i ran up in the middle, though?

[15:20:46] Like just what if?

[15:20:47] Why was...

[15:20:48] Oh right, my GCD is like extreme.

[15:20:51] I forgot.

[15:20:53] This is a good time for another donation.

[15:20:54] Yeah let's do a little check-in.

[15:20:56] So I do want to update that we are now over 75

[15:21:00] of the way there but we have 10 minutes to go

[15:21:06] so let's keep those coming in and rush for it.

[15:21:08] I apologize about this next one, but we're getting into Pun Central here.

[15:21:12] We have $25 from Risa who says what happens when the party gets tired

[15:21:16] that needs to stop for a snack rabbit and meal oh thanks so

[15:21:21] much for your donation we do appreciate you all right this is the final shop

[15:21:26] so basically you heal up get any last upgrades you need and spend all your

[15:21:30] money on levels uh each level will give you one percent boost in damage so it's worth spending

[15:21:34] your money real quick as court mentioned this is the final area. We're getting very close to the end of the run so if you want to see that Lunar Showcase

[15:21:44] This is your last chance to get those donations in I know we are super close

[15:21:48] Please!

[15:21:49] We'd love to showcase that I know we're super close. Please!

[15:21:50] We'd love to showcase that

[15:21:52] We've won like a million runs in our

[15:21:54] practice and we just wanted

[15:21:56] to show it off

[15:21:58] Alright, Pale Keep.

[15:22:00] All of these bosses are transformed so you'll always get backstab on them if that's something

[15:22:04] you have and they're mostly just DPS checks making sure

[15:22:07] that you have a solid build

[15:22:09] And we definitely do

[15:22:10] So it's not something we have to worry too much about

[15:22:17] do you have time for a quick donation absolutely so

[15:22:19] we have 25 from Akoma who says,

[15:22:26] Donating for Lunar Difficulty and for the Sybil plushie on the right side.

[15:22:29] Two of my favorite indie games from the last year.

[15:22:31] Thank you so much.

[15:22:31] Thank you.

[15:22:33] Updating that we're at $11,599. Come on folks!

[15:22:34] We can do this!

[15:22:35] Time is short but we are also making great progress towards the $800,000 mark.

[15:22:40] So let's try to get those two goals at once shall we absolutely did i hit you uh i

[15:22:47] walked away i didn't take damage okay

[15:22:52] uh you can go ahead with a couple more.

[15:22:53] For sure, so we had $20 from Carleo who says Tasha only donate $5 but watch!

[15:22:59] Tasha is now four! More donations, more bunny and steel.

[15:23:07] We also had $100 from Kalt who says rabbits and steel?

[15:23:12] I'm sold!

[15:23:14] Indeed. And that puts us

[15:23:16] almost at $12,000

[15:23:18] We are making great progress. Let's go folks

[15:23:20] You're doing great. We're so close

[15:23:22] Oh

[15:23:24] Alright just the best item for me in the last shop.

[15:23:26] Yeah let me pick the one that makes me use my defensive

[15:23:30] Good idea. Something else I wanted to mention

[15:23:34] while we were going through Pale Keep is that all of those

[15:23:37] enemies

[15:23:39] are like objects,

[15:23:41] right? There's an axe, there's

[15:23:43] a sword, a shield, a spear.

[15:23:46] And as Court mentioned you get

[15:23:48] backstab on them because they're considered

[15:23:50] to be transformed and that's like

[15:23:52] the same state as

[15:23:54] other...like the bosses

[15:23:56] when they transform into their animal forms

[15:23:58] you get backstab on them. So what I'm

[15:24:00] saying is that implies the existence

[15:24:03] of spear girls

[15:24:04] shield girls, axe girls

[15:24:06] harp girls

[15:24:08] and all I'm

[15:24:09] saying is, you know,

[15:24:11] you've got to get us some art of that. I really

[15:24:13] want to see that.

[15:24:15] Alright, this is Shira, Rabbit of the Moon.

[15:24:18] This is the final boss!

[15:24:20] It's a really, really fun fight

[15:24:22] and it's the only time we actually fight a rabbit.

[15:24:25] Her story

[15:24:26] is that she was lonely

[15:24:28] so she came in- she made everyone everyone evil oh i'm doing the lunar

[15:24:31] movement uh she came and made everyone evil

[15:24:35] and then um went and came to talk to the moon

[15:24:39] and said hey i'm lonely you want to hang out

[15:24:42] and uh the moon rejected her so now she's mad

[15:24:46] but it's okay we become friends with her after of Of course we do!

[15:24:54] Yeah, this fight combines basically a lot of the mechanics that we've already seen

[15:24:56] So you got the cleave here I'm gonna like dash into

[15:24:58] the cleave and spread out to make sure

[15:25:00] we have enough room for everyone I I always like running into the cleave

[15:25:02] because then I don't...

[15:25:03] I'm bad at leaving space for people,

[15:25:04] so this time I just get away from them as far as possible.

[15:25:06] The Bruiser also tends to be

[15:25:08] uh, the fastest character in the game

[15:25:10] because it has high base move speed as well

[15:25:13] as the Berserk buff which increases your move speed and

[15:25:18] damage or no, increases your your move speed

[15:25:21] and decreases your efficiency.

[15:25:23] I cool down really fast, yeah exactly.

[15:25:26] We got cleaves we've got the boxes here from Red Dark House which

[15:25:29] we haven't seen yet but we're hoping to see!

[15:25:32] Let us show you what we did.

[15:25:33] Oh, hi!

[15:25:36] You just got mooned.

[15:25:39] Don't say that.

[15:25:42] And we made it folks and we have hit $800,000 for Doctors Without Borders.

[15:25:51] Amazing work everybody!

[15:25:54] Thank you so much. I thought y'all were cheering for Cort saying we got boos.

[15:26:00] What the ho? It's both.

[15:26:03] Oh my gosh, I'm so happy. I didn't want to stop playing the game already!

[15:26:05] Ah! It was too fast!

[15:26:07] Yeah uh this run is going to be coming in pretty decently under I believe

[15:26:12] I mean yeah we basically pleaded all of our health before the phase change

[15:26:15] Uh which is awesome.

[15:26:16] Yeah you'll see because so generally phase change happens a little under half HP on the bar

[15:26:22] and because we dealt more damage than that Shira starts with less hp on the second

[15:26:28] uh phase can we have a quick donation quickly

[15:26:31] this one's very special we have 1 000 from nino underscore Dex. Let's go,

[15:26:38] Lunar!

[15:26:42] Thank you so much for your love. We appreciate

[15:26:44] your game so, so much.

[15:26:46] Thank you so much. I can't use my defensive, anyone want to help me out?

[15:26:51] She's charging an unavoidable attack, you need to save your defensive for it

[15:26:55] I have two charges of this so i never have to worry about this

[15:26:58] But its a common thing that gets us in lunar runs when

[15:26:59] we're trying to do damage there we go and we get right look for it thanks spiriolis yeah no problem

[15:27:09] all right yeah we're coming up on the end here. We have to have two people on each side with spreads

[15:27:16] Alright

[15:27:18] Should be able to kill before the second, what's it called?

[15:27:23] Yeah, before the second attack?

[15:27:24] The second unavoidable end.

[15:27:26] Just like each area boss has a signature move that is Shiro's signature move.

[15:27:30] And now it's time! a signature move that is shira's signature move and that is time

[15:27:33] wow 1812 for it oops incredible sorry

[15:27:40] 2820.

[15:27:44] Yeah, that's a really good run. We got some really good items. Thanks Mino!

[15:27:48] But with that we are going to be

[15:27:50] going ahead into the Lunar Showcase, I want to once again

[15:27:53] shout out Mino for setting us up

[15:27:55] with this tool that allows us to select

[15:27:57] which areas we'll be going to.

[15:28:00] So we'll be starting out

[15:28:01] in Red Dark House and assuming we do still have the time seeing as we came decently under crossing my fingers

[15:28:07] Uh, we will go ahead and show y'all scholar's nest afterwards. So if you all ready, we'll start in 3...2...1...GO!

[15:28:18] Alright so immediately what you will notice is that we only have three HP.

[15:28:26] And there's one of them!

[15:28:28] When you go to a treasure chest, in Hard,

[15:28:32] you heal two HP. In Lunar...

[15:28:37] I unbound my defensive oh

[15:28:46] oh no uh it's okay i'll solve that after this fight the treasure chest only heal one so damn health is always a concern here

[15:28:50] uh and you'll see that even in kingdom outskirts there are more mechanics going

[15:28:54] on than in some of the basic fights in uh let me oh no oh look at you

[15:29:02] that's gonna be fun do you want storms or bowsphere alice oh i could take both um

[15:29:08] um i don't have any percent chances right now so i think i'll take them i guess i'll just grab elegy

[15:29:13] all right nice opening item set carl we want to talk about book of cheats okay yeah so my character uh along

[15:29:21] with dark spell having being a resource um my special has three uses per cooldown so

[15:29:26] since the book of cheese has random effects every time I use a special,

[15:29:29] every cooldown I get three uses and I get to cheat three times.

[15:29:33] Not really cheap but you know...

[15:29:34] I get debuffs or buffs or nothing

[15:29:36] or I actually don't know what you get here.

[15:29:38] I don't know the full pool! It's here. If you could say the full pool, that'd be really

[15:29:42] cool.

[15:29:43] I want to say

[15:29:44] that

[15:29:45] you can get effects that would sometimes be on other upgrades.

[15:29:52] Like, I've seen it change the number of times an attack hits before but I don't know if I hallucinated then.

[15:29:59] I will take Stonebreaker Staff, absolutely. Unless you want that?

[15:30:04] I'll take Hairpin.

[15:30:05] Carl?

[15:30:06] Hydra's Blob, I think.

[15:30:07] Okay.

[15:30:08] Spiral Alistar getting the stone skin. Yes!

[15:30:10] Granite Skin not Stonekin. My bad.

[15:30:13] That was a recently changed item that gives you damage immunity for...

[15:30:19] I think it's the first 30 seconds before it wears off?

[15:30:21] I believe this one just less than

[15:30:22] definitely and also gives a 20 damage right while i have don't leave me but it also slows you down

[15:30:28] greatly until you lose it much slower than everyone else in the team right now.

[15:30:33] Take me back to my previous build,

[15:30:35] I'm in last place now.

[15:30:36] 605 and 672...

[15:30:38] Wait what's going on here?

[15:30:40] Alright so this is Red Darkhouse

[15:30:42] Red Darkhouse.

[15:30:43] Red Darkhouse has either the first or second hardest mechanics in Lunar I would argue.

[15:30:52] Let me grab one of these real quick.

[15:30:54] Yes, yes, I'll pet Asha! Thank you!

[15:31:00] We're all taking a regen potion

[15:31:02] it will heal us up too throughout the area just for safety.

[15:31:06] I think we'd all agree that- oh we got the hard version?

[15:31:10] No, the granite skin man.

[15:31:14] Alright cool, well We're chillin'.

[15:31:16] We'll explain after this one.

[15:31:18] We might have to focus a little bit on

[15:31:20] looting. Mind if I interrupt

[15:31:22] and I can help you focus for a second? Yes.

[15:31:24] Okay, so I do... Don't let me do that again!

[15:31:26] Sorry, okay, go ahead.

[15:31:27] No worries, also.

[15:31:29] So I do want to tell everybody

[15:31:31] about a new incentive

[15:31:31] that we have open

[15:31:32] for the Halo 3 run coming up.

[15:31:34] I do need a little

[15:31:35] audience support though.

[15:31:37] Does anyone know the exclamation from Bluey? What do we

[15:31:39] all say with Bluey?

[15:31:41] Hooray! Stunning!

[15:31:43] So we have a Bluey mod that is open if you're

[15:31:45] a fan of confetti and hoorays. This one adds

[15:31:48] a skull modifier that causes a burst

[15:31:50] of confetti along with a big

[15:31:52] hooray every time a grunt gets a headshot

[15:31:54] so if you want to have a party

[15:31:56] with the Halo 3 run coming up, we need $5,000.

[15:31:58] We have about 200 already.

[15:32:01] Y'all noticed it.

[15:32:02] So let's work towards that.

[15:32:03] I do want to shout out for our last incentive.

[15:32:05] We had $3,000 from So who says,

[15:32:08] okay lunar for real though.

[15:32:11] Thank you so much.

[15:32:12] Thank you so much.

[15:32:13] Thank you so much.

[15:32:17] All right this is Carsey. Very famous

[15:32:20] mini-boss in this area. She basically starts out transformed. I need to get the heck over here!

[15:32:24] Okay. And you are bound in this circle

[15:32:28] so it's a lot of stuff that is just, you can

[15:32:31] really pay attention to where you are going.

[15:32:33] Yeah, Spirials being slow might not

[15:32:35] help us out here. But it's okay.

[15:32:37] You have Granite Skin so... I'm coming.

[15:32:38] Oh my goodness. I'm coming, I'm coming... I'm coming. Oh my goodness.

[15:32:40] Yeah.

[15:32:41] I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming, come, come!

[15:32:42] I totally just walked into the center because

[15:32:43] I was talking to you.

[15:32:44] Alright we need a scooch.

[15:32:45] Alright.

[15:32:47] So what I was trying to mention earlier is that Red Darkest is probably

[15:32:49] the first or second most mechanically difficult area

[15:32:51] i think everyone would probably agree that uh

[15:32:54] church mass well hold on y'all need to swap oh okay

[15:32:57] oh no you two are no you too all right did you take damage

[15:33:01] no i didn't okay nice No, you two are. Alright. Did you take damage?

[15:33:01] No I didn't.

[15:33:02] Nice!

[15:33:04] Um...

[15:33:05] I think everyone would agree that Churchmouse is probably the hardest purely because of

[15:33:08] the DPS checks involved but in terms of the actual mechanics that you're dealing with, it's usually Emerald Lakeside or this one that is most challenging for us.

[15:33:16] We've done a lot of practice on this one so hopefully we'll be able to get a clean showcase in for you.

[15:33:22] This also features, we have numbers

[15:33:24] that help us with the mechanics

[15:33:26] very important on Lunar

[15:33:30] Here you alternate

[15:33:32] having a circle and a spread.

[15:33:34] And so we typically just have the person with the spread go first

[15:33:36] and then the rest of it kind of works out.

[15:33:39] Unless you forget which way that thing is rotating

[15:33:41] which is very easy to do!

[15:33:44] But now's a good time for

[15:33:45] a donation. Yeah, for sure.

[15:33:47] Also there's Chris.

[15:33:50] We have

[15:33:51] a very special $15

[15:33:52] from Kwan who says,

[15:33:54] Couldn't catch Void Stranger but needed to donate for rabbit and steel

[15:33:57] spiria co-fly boral my goats special shout outs to coral my pookie bear what is up my poogie bear

[15:34:04] what is happening, man?

[15:34:07] Hey there, Kwan.

[15:34:08] Kwan is another one of the players in our server where we hang out and play Bunny...

[15:34:12] Oh! What did we just roll on?

[15:34:14] Ninja Robe?

[15:34:19] Okay, Spirialis has 100% chances just roll on ninja robe not bad okay spirit alice has percent chances so he he uh won the role he could get luckier all right this is ronalee she

[15:34:24] is the princess and the former ruler of this area before

[15:34:28] Shira showed up.

[15:34:32] That's what I was looking for.

[15:34:35] She combines

[15:34:36] all the mechanics that we saw just now, and makes them way more complex.

[15:34:40] So we're probably going to need to focus on this one.

[15:34:42] I'm in a circle again!

[15:34:44] Sorry Carl.

[15:34:45] I will sacrifice the team don't worry.

[15:34:50] I'll be the sacrifices, not the team. I wouldn't want to do that.

[15:34:52] Alright.

[15:34:53] Close here?

[15:34:54] Yep.

[15:34:55] Oh you're so slow!

[15:35:00] So true.

[15:35:02] Close again...

[15:35:04] And so another thing in Lunar that we didn't really see and hard at all is enrage.

[15:35:10] Close close. Close, close.

[15:35:11] Just close? Yep. You have to do a certain

[15:35:13] amount of damage before the boss will just

[15:35:14] own you. Close. Oh! Where are we going?

[15:35:18] Going

[15:35:19] in the middle. Alright!

[15:35:24] All good, all good uh come right over here

[15:35:30] talking and playing this game is very hard but lana you can talk while we're doing this. Oh my gosh, sure thing!

[15:35:32] So, we have $10 from Elysium who says

[15:35:34] Rabbit in Steel is the game

[15:35:36] I never knew I needed until I played it

[15:35:38] 200 hours later

[15:35:40] I'm chasing no-hit Lunar for the last achievement.

[15:35:42] Tasha is best wolf and Ancient is best rabbit.

[15:35:46] Yeah! Ancient!

[15:35:48] Wooo! Can I get some cheers from the crowd for Ancient?

[15:35:51] Yeah!

[15:35:55] I'm going out here, my god.

[15:35:57] You were in the right spot.

[15:35:59] We have a big hurray towards Bluey Mode

[15:36:01] putting us at $632 already,

[15:36:03] making really great progress folks.

[15:36:05] I see the love.

[15:36:06] Bottom left?

[15:36:08] How'd you get all the way over there?

[15:36:09] I don't know she just pushed me.

[15:36:14] Red right?

[15:36:14] Alright.

[15:36:18] Am I wrong? No, you guys are wrong.

[15:36:20] I followed Spirialis!

[15:36:22] That works 99% of the time!

[15:36:23] Uh, right. I'm defensive-ing

[15:36:25] Thank you to my team for letting me follow them

[15:36:27] Talk about upright

[15:36:29] Works 99% of the time

[15:36:47] You're at... No!

[15:36:49] It was barely outside.

[15:36:51] Uh-oh.

[15:36:53] This is going to be rough.

[15:36:54] I don't even have a defensive.

[15:36:56] I have a defensive. have a defense so tragic so yeah we have a knockout timer i will

[15:36:59] be up in a little bit this actually is going to make this

[15:37:03] attack a lot easier easier.

[15:38:37] there you go. Woo! Thank you for keeping us

[15:38:41] honest okay?

[15:38:44] Scholar's Nest. This area is really fun. It has mechanics like teleports and it's great especially on fire.

[15:38:50] This area is really pretty to watch. Everyone here is a crow. their lore is that they like shiny things except only the

[15:38:57] first two the other two are sisters and one of them is like really into the stars and

[15:39:01] the other one is like hey when are we gonna hang out?

[15:39:07] Yeah here were purposely spreading out. I need to be here.

[15:39:30] pair. Y'all are the best.

[15:39:32] Thank you so much.

[15:39:35] Yeah when we showed up I surprised them all with the rabbit

[15:39:37] ears and I think it made it! I love it.

[15:39:41] I could not see there. There was text all over my rabbit.

[15:39:45] So here we have these binds that lock us in a certain plane and we have to be paying attention

[15:39:50] to who has the spread, who has the line, and make sure we're not hitting each other. But also trying

[15:39:54] to be positioned in a way that we can do damage.

[15:39:59] It's really fun to fight.

[15:40:00] We should kill here?

[15:40:01] Alright, nice.

[15:40:04] Now we come on to the mini-boss of Scholar's Nest.

[15:40:07] I believe it's Sia, the Archon Crow.

[15:40:11] She

[15:40:11] loves teleporting us.

[15:40:13] She will teleport us so many times. In fact,

[15:40:15] she loves teleporting us so much, she gives us two

[15:40:17] for free. They don't even do anything.

[15:40:20] And then we... a lot of this fight is

[15:40:24] revolving around similarly staying in a circle. Ooh are we gonna see it?

[15:40:28] Let's find out.

[15:40:32] There are a few variants of the

[15:40:34] attacks, and we were hoping to get

[15:40:36] one with an X.

[15:40:38] Yeah there is one version that is a lot more complex than the other.

[15:40:41] It's fun to resolve but as you can see

[15:40:45] it revolves around these circles we have to match up

[15:40:49] alongside reading these teleports.

[15:40:52] It makes for a very complex fight to read, but once you understand it

[15:40:56] its like... I mean were doing pretty good.

[15:41:00] There's a lot of ways good.

[15:41:04] There's a lot of ways that you just are able to learn this, like this attack it's

[15:41:06] read your shortest teleport and go on the outside

[15:41:08] and other stuff like that

[15:41:10] also I highly recommend buying this game! Playing this game you can play it both solo and

[15:41:15] with up to four people co-op. It's really fun. I used to be terrible at this game

[15:41:20] but now i have 210 hours of it and i'm playing it on the GDQ stage, which is amazing.

[15:41:24] So please play this game!

[15:41:27] It's so much fun. And the dev is super active.

[15:41:30] The dev loves this game as much as we do.

[15:41:32] Spends so much time on it i always see a game maker working on it

[15:41:39] uh now we are onto our final fight of this incentive

[15:41:45] i don't think i can take it, do you want it?

[15:41:47] No, I'm good.

[15:41:51] Can I have

[15:41:53] the curse? Okay.

[15:41:56] Oh, no fight?

[15:42:00] We didn't play Rock for Precision that's crazy

[15:42:02] Alright so this is Twilight

[15:42:04] The Valedictorian Crow.

[15:42:05] Similarly to Saya she does a lot of teleports

[15:42:09] but her signature move that we're going to see in the second phase

[15:42:12] is Time Stop.

[15:42:16] She will

[15:42:17] stop time and show you three mechanics

[15:42:19] at once. Oh my god, you're so slow.

[15:42:23] And

[15:42:24] you have to read

[15:42:25] and remember

[15:42:26] all three of those

[15:42:28] because there is not time for you to react to them.

[15:42:33] Sorry, my bad, my bad.

[15:42:35] But Lana, you could go ahead

[15:42:36] and read a couple here as we get through the first phase.

[15:42:37] Yeah I'll hop right in!

[15:42:39] So we just want to update that we are at $1,409 putting us over 25% of the way to our bluey mode

[15:42:49] I'll go for it. We have $11 and

[15:42:51] 70 cents from Grunt Birthday

[15:42:53] Party who says everyone

[15:42:55] get on board for an $11

[15:42:57] and 70 cent hooray.70 Hooray train!

[15:43:00] Hooray!

[15:43:02] Thanks so much

[15:43:04] supporting this lovely birthday party we got

[15:43:06] going on

[15:43:08] This one you always have to go, if you teleport and stay the other people will move.

[15:43:12] And now we're into phase 2! We skipped the attack we've been practicing all week!

[15:43:17] No no it's okay we had the other attack.

[15:43:21] We'll definitely see that one. You can go ahead and keep going, Lana.

[15:43:24] For sure.

[15:43:25] Just want to shout out we do have some other support coming

[15:43:27] in here for $50 from Marka311 saying as someone who spent many hours with a bunch of friends

[15:43:33] getting through Halo 3 Legendary I can confirm Grunt's birthday party makes life a lot better.

[15:43:39] Here's some for Bluey Mode! Thank you so much, we appreciate it.

[15:43:42] I'll go up. Yep.

[15:43:44] Uh, I'll go up and Kurt will go down.

[15:43:46] Alright.

[15:43:47] But that's last. That's last.

[15:43:50] Ordering of this is something.

[15:43:53] I love my team, I get to stand still for free

[15:43:57] Yeah you have to shoot horizontally right?

[15:44:01] That was the first time stop mechanic that you just saw.

[15:44:04] You saw she showed us three things that she expects us to do,

[15:44:07] and then we have to remember the order

[15:44:09] and do them all together.

[15:44:12] We probably should've let Carl stay down.

[15:44:14] I was slow, I think.

[15:44:16] That's true!

[15:44:20] Alrighty.

[15:44:22] This is the one. this is menna we call it mana because

[15:44:25] it's red the same way as manna's attack she's

[15:44:28] the first enemy that we saw um going up

[15:44:34] uh swap yeah go left

[15:44:39] keep going nice yes

[15:44:44] uh have you gotten hit a single time?

[15:44:46] Don't say that! You're not supposed to say that!

[15:44:50] I don't think we've gotten hit in the entirety of Scholar's Nest so far.

[15:44:54] We could change this right now.

[15:45:03] Hey, I'm taking the opportunity to do Hit List here. Don't you dare!

[15:45:11] Alright we'reemed ourselves that was a fully hitless scholars nest i'm pretty sure wow no regen pot needed oh do we keep going? Oh no! Yeah, yeah

[15:45:18] We can't play this forever. I would like to though

[15:45:20] It's going pretty well

[15:45:22] Thank you all so much for watching and for donating

[15:45:24] So that we could showcase those Lunar bosses

[15:45:26] They're very fun, very hard.

[15:45:29] If you enjoyed watching this, if this game looks cool to you, please

[15:45:33] go check it out! It's not even that expensive, I don't remember exactly but

[15:45:37] Mino can use the money. No just kidding

[15:45:40] He donated a thousand

[15:45:42] he could uh...he could use that back

[15:45:44] Do y'all have any shoutouts? Yeah absolutely

[15:45:46] I just wanted to say it's amazing

[15:45:48] to be up here on stage as a runner uh finally with three of the most like

[15:45:53] amazing people i love hanging out with um you all are awesome and i it's it's just an honor

[15:45:58] uh to be up here and thank you to everyone on Gamesquiddy

[15:46:01] and on staff for making this whole thing possible.

[15:46:04] Yeah, I mean, this was great. I want to say thank you

[15:46:09] to everyone here. Everyone in the back couch, thanks to Tom who did a big donation as well. Yeah, this is just one.

[15:46:26] You can keep going. No, yeah, I just want to say thank you

[15:46:28] to everyone who donated for this.

[15:46:30] Alright, yeah. I'd like to shout out Akko.

[15:46:33] Since I took a little bit of a break from Ravensteel, she was

[15:46:37] really... She reached out and said do you want to be fourth for GDQ?

[15:46:41] Sure okay but haven't cleared Lunar yet.

[15:46:44] But throughout the course of a month this crew and I just destroyed Lunar after multiple weeks of odd reviewing

[15:46:51] and frustration and a lot of other things.

[15:46:55] But yeah, really shout out to Akko

[15:46:56] for making this whole thing possible.

[15:46:58] Thank you, Carl.

[15:47:00] One quick other person I wanted to shout out.

[15:47:02] I wanted to shout out Amy

[15:47:03] for always believing in this run

[15:47:05] and believing in me, so thank you.

[15:47:07] I wanna thank everyone who is supporting this.

[15:47:08] Thank you Meno especially.

[15:47:10] Thank you everyone on the back couch

[15:47:12] And finally thank you to MSF, Doctors Without Borders

[15:47:15] who were supporting this event.

[15:47:16] I wanna say,, free Palestine.

[15:47:21] Wait, Akhil can I do one more quick shout out?

[15:47:24] No!

[15:47:26] Hi court. Can I do one more quick shout out? Hi, Court.

[15:47:30] Welcome everybody to the Checkpoint

[15:47:32] here on Thursday. It's Thursday already

[15:47:34] All of a sudden the week starts flying!

[15:47:36] It's ridiculous, I'll introduce these goons in a second.

[15:47:38] Goons? Me and my goon squad!

[15:47:44] Wanted to let you all know what we've got going on in the checkpoint today

[15:47:48] first we're gonna start out talking about the upcoming runs that we got coming up here

[15:47:52] in just a little bit then we are going to maybe talk about why a dog can speedrun, or something to that nature.

[15:48:01] A little video about that.

[15:48:02] And then we're gonna come back and play a really fun game show we like to call In60.

[15:48:06] So first up, we got some fun runs coming up.

[15:48:09] Yeah!

[15:48:10] I'm Jay Hobbs and I am joined by Brutal Mello and Spike Vegeta.

[15:48:12] I'm Brutal Mello.

[15:48:13] And I'm Spike Vegeta.

[15:48:15] And we all love video games.

[15:48:17] I thought you were going to say, we are the Goon Squad!

[15:48:21] This will be a bit

[15:48:22] in future years.

[15:48:23] I'm Spike Mello. Just kidding.

[15:48:26] But seriously,

[15:48:27] we have some really awesome runs coming up. We got four great runs that are just coming up banger after banger right next to each other

[15:48:34] and what is our first one that we're starting with Melo?

[15:48:36] Because you're just as excited as I am about it.

[15:48:38] Halo 3!

[15:48:42] Four player co-op, legendary.

[15:48:45] We got an open incentive right now too that we're going to talk about in a second.

[15:48:46] I'm stoked.

[15:48:47] We got our dear friends ADAF, Nerby Destroyer,

[15:48:50] Kronos R and help me J-Hob.

[15:48:52] Brian Otto!

[15:48:54] My dear friend Brian Otto!

[15:48:56] That was Dello just wanting to test if I knew it.

[15:48:58] Yeah yeah yeah duh of course.

[15:49:00] That's some huge clock stuff right there.

[15:49:02] Yeah but no I'm really excited for that run

[15:49:04] 4 player co-op legendary

[15:49:06] is just going to be ridiculous

[15:49:08] I've actually done Halo 3

[15:49:10] four player co-ops speed runs before.

[15:49:13] But on easy and not really knowing what we were doing

[15:49:16] And it's actually... I think the game is quite approachable

[15:49:19] to be able to jump into but not on Legendary

[15:49:22] So I'm surprised that these

[15:49:24] four were like able to

[15:49:26] get good at this so quickly because they only started

[15:49:28] running this in the last year or so

[15:49:30] I think. Yeah for sure and then legendary really

[15:49:32] changes the game so much. I mean the enemies have more

[15:49:34] health. They aim good

[15:49:36] way better. Their aim

[15:49:38] is WAY GOOD!

[15:49:40] It also changes like the types of skips

[15:49:42] that you can do in the game.

[15:49:44] There's a lot, especially like...

[15:49:46] Okay so Halo 3 Legendary Run Solo

[15:49:48] So much different from a co-op run

[15:49:50] When your'e at a co-op run

[15:49:52] You've got it to where let's say

[15:49:54] Your going for a trick and you miss it, you got your boy right behind

[15:49:56] you able to follow up.

[15:49:57] Or let's say you are going for really hard tricks that requires a lot of setup the other

[15:50:00] three players can split-up draw aggro which gives you more time to get that trick done. We're going to be seeing all sorts

[15:50:06] of stuff like that during this run. I love

[15:50:09] and Spike, I know you love this too when it comes to

[15:50:10] co-op speedruns, just the amount

[15:50:12] of communication that needs to happen among

[15:50:14] getting to hear that first of all like live

[15:50:17] when somebody's doing performance but also being a part

[15:50:19] of it sometimes in co-op runs yeah it's honestly

[15:50:21] the amount of camaraderie

[15:50:23] that comes out of that these four

[15:50:25] players I think they love each other based on the

[15:50:28] segment we saw yesterday, their

[15:50:29] drawing segment and what I like about it is a lot

[15:50:32] of times even when we do these 4 plus player

[15:50:34] co-op runs, we'll only see maybe two

[15:50:36] sides of it. They thought, they were like, no, we need to see all four different game feeds for this

[15:50:41] because everybody's going to be doing wildly different stuff.

[15:50:44] Adep was talking to us yesterday about how all of them have at least one segment in the run where all the pressure is on

[15:50:49] them in that moment so it's good. It's gonna add lots of stress I'm glad my

[15:50:54] friends are going to be stressed. Yeah and I especially love Brian Otto. Definitely!

[15:51:00] But yeah, I think it's good when things are

[15:51:02] split up like that. We got Brideshear

[15:51:04] from around there. But remember folks

[15:51:06] there is an incentive for that Halo 3

[15:51:08] run. There's potentially going to be two incentives,

[15:51:10] but we need to make that bluey mode happen

[15:51:12] first if you all want to see

[15:51:14] every headshot

[15:51:16] explode into a burst with a little hooray!

[15:51:19] Hooray!

[15:51:21] Thank you very much.

[15:51:23] Good friendly. Please go to gamesunquick.com slash donate and

[15:51:25] already halfway there. Exactly, yeah.

[15:51:27] We're only halfway there. It just

[15:51:29] opened up so clearly y'all want to celebrate with us, but please

[15:51:32] like Hub said, gamesandquick.com slash donate

[15:51:34] make it happen. And if that gets met then hopefully

[15:51:36] we'll see another incentive coming after that, but we'll let

[15:51:38] them tell you about that later. What could that be?

[15:51:40] So the next run that is on the schedule,

[15:51:42] on the docket.

[15:51:43] This has been a highly anticipated one ever since

[15:51:45] their performance at AGDQ 2024.

[15:51:48] It is JSR and more importantly

[15:51:51] The legendary Peanut Butter the dog yeah I love you

[15:51:58] Ruby is Neil deGrasse Tyson the grass Tyson. They present

[15:52:03] Major League Baseball.

[15:52:04] Is that what they said?

[15:52:05] Yeah, yeah.

[15:52:06] I didn't know

[15:52:07] what they said

[15:52:08] during the pre-show.

[15:52:08] The best thing ever.

[15:52:09] It was hilarious.

[15:52:10] That was absolutely

[15:52:11] fantastic.

[15:52:12] Ken Griffey Jr.

[15:52:15] presents Major League Baseball. fantastic. Now, Ken Griffey Jr. presents Major League Baseball.

[15:52:15] Yep.

[15:52:17] Now this run, it's like – It's almost like what is this game?

[15:52:20] Because we all know dog doing speedrun.

[15:52:22] That's what we're really excited for.

[15:52:23] Yeah.

[15:52:23] You know a little bit about this game, though.

[15:52:25] I got to work with them a little bit yesterday. I get to help out

[15:52:27] a little bit on effectively kind of the commentary

[15:52:29] you'll see later when we get to it.

[15:52:31] They've expanded on it. If you watch

[15:52:33] the Gyromite run from this past GDQ I believe they had a three-button setup.

[15:52:37] Now they've got a whole five-button setup.

[15:52:39] It's not simply just a pitch.

[15:52:41] There's a fastball button.

[15:52:42] They've got a curveball button that they can work with,

[15:52:45] a swing but there's all sorts of different dynamics

[15:52:48] that Peanut Butter the Dog and JSR are going to have

[15:52:51] to work through to make all this happen.

[15:52:53] There is lots of complications because since the fielding is put on auto-fielding

[15:52:59] they're mostly pretty good but there's a lot of rng that they're going to have to work with as

[15:53:02] well where i um i saw a few i'm errors. Baseball errors by the fielders.

[15:53:09] It was not PB's fault,

[15:53:10] but regardless,

[15:53:12] it was amazing getting to watch them work yesterday and peanut butter.

[15:53:15] He's just the best boy.

[15:53:17] He wants everybody to come in, tell him he's just the best boy. He wants everybody to come in

[15:53:18] tell him he's the bestest boy

[15:53:20] and enjoy this amazing run of Kangaroo V Jr.

[15:53:22] presents Major League Baseball.

[15:53:24] Spike is doing commentary for this run

[15:53:26] which I'm super excited about

[15:53:28] but what I'm really excited about. But what I'm really excited

[15:53:29] about is the fact that they actually removed

[15:53:31] the couch and brought in a dog bed

[15:53:33] that's going to be curling up.

[15:53:36] That sounds

[15:53:37] pumped. I know, that would be amazing though.

[15:53:39] I'm joking but yes,

[15:53:41] bike and dog bed percent?

[15:53:42] It does let me hit the last point

[15:53:43] I wanted to say about this though

[15:53:44] which is that for the folks

[15:53:46] viewing at home

[15:53:47] who maybe saw

[15:53:48] The Gyromite run last time

[15:53:49] they might not realize peanut butter is here

[15:53:51] this is going to be a live speedrun from the dog right yeah the legend themselves so

[15:53:57] the crowd is very clearly excited for that one.

[15:54:03] But there is another fantastic run to be excited for right after that,

[15:54:05] which is Sekiro.

[15:54:05] Yes!

[15:54:07] We have seen Sekiro before.

[15:54:09] We've seen Mitra's run Sekiro before.

[15:54:12] First of all, always a fantastic showing when it happens. But we have never seen this category which is

[15:54:15] a hitless any% attempt.

[15:54:17] I will say, Mitch Riz clearly has some confidence

[15:54:20] because did not submit as as hitless any percent

[15:54:22] attempt they just submitted hitless any person i'm gonna do like

[15:54:25] i'm going to do it and i love that that is a bold statement right

[15:54:28] yes because especially right at the beginning

[15:54:30] is like one of the hardest parts in a normal speedrun.

[15:54:33] Without getting hit, and often when you

[15:54:35] get hit you die at the very beginning

[15:54:37] if you don't have enough health. So I'm

[15:54:39] just blown away by this one.

[15:54:41] Yeah no, I'm really excited for it. Mitra is obviously known

[15:54:44] in the past for doing a blindfolded run of Sekiro. It's such a challenging game

[15:54:48] just to play casually. The fact that he's taking on these like what is the hardest

[15:54:52] possible category I can find and get it out there

[15:54:54] for the world to see it's just so impressive

[15:54:57] hobbs you and i talk all the time about how we want to say speed running

[15:55:00] is like super accessible for whoever wants to get into it

[15:55:03] i will say, though,

[15:55:04] I do want to make a slight separation

[15:55:06] that Mitras is that kind of performer

[15:55:08] where I would say...

[15:55:10] The fact that when he did the blindfolded run

[15:55:12] and he had one boss

[15:55:13] that he had a little bit of troubles with

[15:55:14] and then he just mowed all the rest of the bosses down without vision in one of the hardest games we've played in the last 10 years.

[15:55:21] I think there's a certain amount of ice water in his veins that comes into play

[15:55:26] that he can do this sort of stuff

[15:55:27] on a big stage like this

[15:55:29] with thousands of people watching him.

[15:55:30] It's incredibly impressive,

[15:55:32] and I cannot wait to watch this run

[15:55:33] against Sekiro Hitless by Mitrez. Yeah, also

[15:55:37] super nice student, very hot.

[15:55:39] Absolutely love him. We got a chance to speak with

[15:55:41] him and we're really excited to share that with you.

[15:55:43] But the run afterwards

[15:55:45] the very last one we're going to talk about here.

[15:55:48] We have one more. It's Castlevania Symphony of the Night

[15:55:51] by Strat and Blake.

[15:55:53] I know it's a really good set of runs here.

[15:55:57] Spike you are a huge Stoughton fan.

[15:55:59] Yeah, in general the Castlevania

[15:56:00] series is wonderful and there is no

[15:56:02] more beloved game within that series

[15:56:04] than Castlevania Symphony Night.

[15:56:06] And we have no greater historian runner

[15:56:09] of the game in general than The

[15:56:11] Dragon Blitz. Gonna be running it

[15:56:13] in reverse boss order. There's about a thousand

[15:56:15] different categories that he's gotten to showcase

[15:56:17] in this game across all sorts of different consoles,

[15:56:19] different versions of the game.

[15:56:21] And here, I mean, there's a lot of things

[15:56:23] that get thrown into the pot,

[15:56:24] the stew of what makes

[15:56:25] The Great Symphony of Night speedrun.

[15:56:27] A lot of that is the movement

[15:56:28] all over the place,

[15:56:29] all the glitches and tricks.

[15:56:30] We got to see a couple of those early in the week

[15:56:32] in our segment with him but also

[15:56:34] all of those various bosses getting

[15:56:36] to take down all of them but then

[15:56:38] in that reverse order I love just being able to say this game is theoretically

[15:56:41] semi-linear

[15:56:43] I know it's a Metroidvania, but we're going to completely

[15:56:45] break it up. We're going to do it in whatever

[15:56:47] order we want to appease the fans

[15:56:49] here and the GDQ audience and everybody at home.

[15:56:51] It's wild stuff to watch.

[15:56:53] RBO, reverse boss order is like

[15:56:55] the hardest category in any game that has it generally.

[15:56:59] It is unbelievable so I'm very excited for that one.

[15:57:02] Yeah, no, I'm stoked!

[15:57:03] I feel like Dragonblitz just constantly doing cool stuff at GDQ

[15:57:07] Also one of our tournament organizers

[15:57:09] For the Evil Zone Tournament that happened

[15:57:11] Sadly not gonna be in this They not going to be relegated

[15:57:18] all right well that's gonna do it for us folks here in terms of talking about

[15:57:21] the upcoming runs but we have more Checkpoint coming your way.

[15:57:24] So please stay tuned for a short little video

[15:57:28] about a certain dog named Peanutbutter. so I was just wondering if I could come play baseball with you guys.

[15:57:58] Ain't no way there's gonna be a dog speedrunning baseball!

[15:58:01] Actually, there is NO rule saying that a dog can't speak right I'm going to be playing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball.

[15:58:24] That's going to be happening later tonight with DSR alright. I just can't wait! See you there!

[15:58:36] Back everyone! My name is BrutalMelo and we're here to play my game show in 60!

[15:58:41] This is such a fun game, I came up with it recently this past AGDQ

[15:58:45] Basically i've got two players you probably never heard of them before

[15:58:49] SpikeVegeta and Jhobobbs Just kidding! They were here 2 seconds ago. And they're going to be playing a game called

[15:58:53] In 60 Where? They have 60 seconds to compete in various challenges

[15:58:57] The first one is called ABCs in 60.

[15:58:59] What's going to happen is they're going to have

[15:59:01] to go through the alphabet by video game title

[15:59:03] and get as far as they can in 60 seconds.

[15:59:06] Whatever letter they get to, that's going

[15:59:07] to correlate to a number.

[15:59:08] That's going to be their score.

[15:59:09] They'll get that added

[15:59:10] to their total at the end of the game.

[15:59:12] Game two is called True or False in 60.

[15:59:14] In front of me I have a bunch of true or false questions

[15:59:16] about GDQ mostly about the schedule

[15:59:18] about some fun things. They're gonna try and get as many as they can correct in 60 seconds.

[15:59:22] At the end of the game we are going to bring them back

[15:59:24] combine the two scores together

[15:59:26] and see who won the game.

[15:59:28] We have our first player on the stage

[15:59:32] SpikeVegeta. How you doing?

[15:59:36] I'm doing great! I'm excited to think of video games in my brain. It'll be great.

[16:00:55] Great, yeah. I've been playing a lot of retro games and we did a lot of... this was a good GDK doing because we had to do a lot of research for the Jeopardy segment at the beginning of it.

[16:01:03] Right! So you feel like super fresh on the categories. How do you think J-Hobbs is going to do?

[16:01:09] Not that good.

[16:01:10] Okay!

[16:03:00] Really weird!

[16:03:01] That's funny.

[16:03:02] Alright everyone give a hand for J-Hobbs and Spike Vecino.

[16:03:05] That was ABC in 60. I think they did admirably. How do you feel about that round?

[16:03:10] Well so... It's really easy when you're standing over there to be like

[16:03:14] Oh I need to think of A through whatever And then you get to E when you're standing over there to be like, oh I need to think of A through whatever

[16:03:16] and then you get to E and you're like, I'm good.

[16:03:18] How do you think Spike did?

[16:03:19] Way better than me.

[16:03:20] Okay yeah well I guess that's the thing.

[16:03:22] I think he did way better.

[16:03:23] Okay this next game is called True or False in 60.

[16:03:27] Like I said earlier, I've got a series

[16:03:29] of questions written out here.

[16:03:30] The first performances were so fantastic, I hope that

[16:03:33] they don't get all of them because I try to write a lot of questions.

[16:03:35] But we're going to see all they need to do is say true or false.

[16:03:38] I'll say whether they're correct or incorrect.

[16:03:40] At the end of the game,

[16:03:41] we'll bring everybody back and do the final scores.

[16:03:42] Okay, Hobbs?

[16:15:04] We had a lot of love in the audience today, eh? Love to see it.

[16:15:17] Alright, everybody. The time is now. We have some

[16:15:18] incredible stuff lined up for all of you.

[16:15:21] Our Halo 3 four-player co-op legendary run

[16:15:25] with ADef, Brian Otto, Kronos and Nervy Destroyer is ready to go. Let's

[16:15:32] finish the fight!

[16:15:40] Alright, what is, SGD2 2024? We are Two Guys, Two Bribes.

[16:15:45] Two Guys, Two Bribes!

[16:15:47] Guy there and the two bribes in the corner here and we are so excited in the middle i guess we

[16:15:53] are so excited to show you uh halo 3 legendary co-op four player this has been something that

[16:15:59] i've been wanting to do for the past four years i was able to kind of help get all

[16:16:02] these great folks together.

[16:16:03] And now here we are, been grinding like mad for the last

[16:16:06] four or five six months and we're ready to go so

[16:16:09] let the rest of you introduce yourselves. Yeah what's up everybody?

[16:16:12] I'm Adaf. I will be playing the blue elite this afternoon.

[16:16:14] Bri's on the red elite over there, and I'll throw it

[16:16:16] over to my friends on the other table.

[16:16:18] Yep.

[16:16:19] I'm Chronos, longtime Halo speed runner,

[16:16:21] and I will be playing the Arbiter.

[16:16:25] Oh! speedrunner and I will be playing the Arbiter.

[16:16:29] No love for blue metal heat but...

[16:16:33] Okay, and to my right? I'm NarvaDestroyer, I've also been running Halo for quite a while and I am playing as the Master Chief.

[16:16:41] Wait wait wait! Does anybody in the audience know the name of the Blue or Red Elite?

[16:16:45] Oh okay that's pretty cool. Does anybody in the audience know the name of the blue or red elite? Yes!

[16:16:47] Oh, okay. That's pretty cool.

[16:16:49] Lonesome Tom!

[16:16:51] That is actually true!

[16:16:53] Alright, are we ready to get going folks?

[16:16:57] We're ready? Yeah, are we ready to get going folks? And crowd and nervy let's get a countdown.

[16:17:01] 3...2....1....Go!

[16:17:05] Wooo! Go! Woo! Alright.

[16:17:08] So, uh...

[16:17:10] I would say this run is basically

[16:17:12] we are here to support

[16:17:14] the Master Chief. Yeah there's a line from

[16:17:16] Sergeant Johnson later in the game where he says and I quote

[16:17:17] I won't ever buy a subordinate chief!

[16:17:22] So that's what we're gonna do.

[16:17:23] Yes, it sounds exactly like that and we're going to sound exactly like that

[16:17:26] And what were doing... I would say

[16:17:29] most of the time, if you're wondering which screen to watch,

[16:17:31] look in the bottom left and watch Nervy.

[16:17:33] He's going to be leading the way, taking the charge

[16:17:35] and we're going to be doing a lot of death

[16:17:37] abuse in this run.

[16:17:39] Because unlike Halo 2 Legendary, when you die

[16:17:41] it doesn't just reset back to checkpoint

[16:17:43] It allows you to spawn on one your allies

[16:17:45] assuming that you meet the criteria for that

[16:17:46] So we're waiting for roughly about like 34, 35 seconds

[16:17:50] then we're gonna get rolling here.

[16:17:52] Yeah so Sierra 117 this is the of course

[16:17:54] the start of Halo 3 and just going to get a glimpse

[16:17:58] here at what Legendary's all about.

[16:17:59] Enemies in Legendary have a ton of health

[16:18:01] They deal a ton of damage and their aim is incredible

[16:18:03] By the way, think for the $5,000

[16:18:05] For starting the game

[16:18:09] Feel free to say hooray whenever you want.

[16:18:12] Death and destruction!

[16:18:16] And so this level is, um...

[16:18:18] We're pretty much trying to

[16:18:20] support Nervi here.

[16:18:21] There's going to be a lot of enemies, and we're just trying

[16:18:24] to make sure that Nervi gets to the end.

[16:18:26] It's a pretty good mix of combat and movement at this level I feel like.

[16:18:29] We all survived?

[16:18:30] That's good. no deaths yet!

[16:18:32] No actually we just died at the start of this run.

[16:18:34] No unintentional deaths.

[16:18:36] Yeah, no deaths is kind of important here.

[16:18:38] See one thing I will say is that a lot

[16:18:40] of commentary in this run,

[16:18:41] just by virtue of the difficulty of the run. If you've played 4-player

[16:18:44] Legendary on your own,

[16:18:46] you might know that it's quite tough. One Jackal

[16:18:48] alive in the tree is

[16:18:50] just going to be that. We are gonna just be doing

[16:18:52] actual comms because we need

[16:18:53] to call out what's going on, who is alive and sort of

[16:18:56] what the situation is.

[16:18:58] We've got two alive up top.

[16:19:00] Yeah, we're good.

[16:19:01] So yeah, we're gonna make sure to explain a lot of the co-op exclusive stuff that you wouldn't see

[16:19:09] normally but like we're not here to tell you exactly how the halo 3 run works that's been

[16:19:13] done before we're here because it's two guys,

[16:19:15] two brides.

[16:19:16] We're having a really good time.

[16:19:18] So often when we run this game

[16:19:19] it feels like just playing

[16:19:21] some Halo with the homies

[16:19:23] when you got out of school

[16:19:24] back in 2008.

[16:19:25] It's been a great... Wait wait.

[16:19:26] Vibes?

[16:19:27] Vibes.

[16:19:28] Hang on hold.

[16:19:31] That should be good.

[16:19:32] Vibes?

[16:19:33] Nice!

[16:19:34] Oh god bless!

[16:19:38] We skip a little bit of a cut scene right there called the cortana moment where we would slow down

[16:19:41] a bunch so yeah that's that's a pure vibe check

[16:19:43] right there and the vibes are good which vibes were very

[16:19:46] good very on point and i you know something we

[16:19:49] haven't really talked about yet uh adaf your fat drumstick yeah okay i'll talk

[16:19:54] about this now i was gonna I was gonna save

[16:19:57] this for later, but I'll talk

[16:19:59] about this now. When I was a wee

[16:20:02] little 10-year old boy, I made an

[16:20:05] Xbox 360 gamer tag and that

[16:20:07] was Fat Drumstick.

[16:20:09] Fun fact, if you make a Microsoft account,

[16:20:12] that stays!

[16:20:13] Yes it does.

[16:20:15] But you know what? Honestly, like honest to God

[16:20:18] there is something delightful about like you know

[16:20:20] 15 years ago. I was playing this game with my friends as fat drumstick

[16:20:26] I'm playing this game with my friends as Fat Drumstick, and unironically

[16:20:29] I thought about that half an hour ago and almost cried!

[16:20:33] By the way, rock bing bing on the rock...

[16:20:37] I'll take the extra.

[16:20:39] And you know what's really great?

[16:20:41] Okay, actually, I'm going to let Nervy cook here for a second.

[16:20:43] I gotta cook!

[16:20:45] So this is a gap jump.

[16:20:47] I'm essentially gonna combine a nade boost with

[16:20:49] a slide jump to get to the other end here early, combined with a bubble

[16:20:52] just for some safety.

[16:20:54] Nicely done, Nervy! And I'm essentially

[16:20:56] trying to get out of here as fast as I can.

[16:20:58] We got probably the scariest part of the first level.

[16:21:00] Yeah, this next clear is really difficult and we're just

[16:21:02] going to kind of be locking in here you can really watch any of our perspectives

[16:21:06] here and we're all going to be doing something wildly different yeah we all have unique roles

[16:21:09] in this yes a really good chance checkpoint that's important on legendary Yes. Really good checkpoint there. Nice checkpoint.

[16:21:12] Good checkpoint.

[16:21:14] That's important on Legendary.

[16:21:18] Beams are dead, beams are dead?

[16:21:18] Yeah.

[16:21:19] Brute is dead.

[16:21:20] Awesome.

[16:21:20] Bridge is clear.

[16:21:21] Heard it. So I'm going to do... bridge is clear.

[16:21:26] So I'm going to do a little bit of sequence break to get to the other end

[16:21:28] of this bridge here.

[16:21:32] Oh, okay Nervy died. That's you Kronos.

[16:21:33] It's on Kronos. So this is one of the cool things about Legendary

[16:21:36] that we have contingency plans by having a second player go for something

[16:21:41] We can kind of back up just by virtue of having multiple attempts.

[16:21:47] Yeah and like it's just this run is backups on backup as you might expect

[16:21:50] and when you have four people you have a lot of options for a backup which is

[16:21:54] pretty nice as it turns out i made it in okay good job

[16:21:59] uh up here oh i see him yeah yeah i saw them hammers up hammer you might want to grab that

[16:22:05] and we need that hammer. Grab it, grab it. I'll grab this one.

[16:22:06] We need the hammer to do something pretty cool and he's going to FedEx...

[16:22:09] Brother hand me the hammer!

[16:22:11] He's gonna FedEx that straight to Drake & Irby.

[16:22:13] You get it?

[16:22:14] Yeah.

[16:22:15] On the other side of the bridge go ahead and just kill me okay

[16:22:22] oh you're gonna see a lot of that tell me my hammer's all yours

[16:22:28] we're going gonna be killing each other a lot in this run as it turns out

[16:22:32] okay i'm clear on the side so i don't know about the rest of y'all but i mean

[16:22:35] i did my job perfectly. Yeah, yeah. Rich is clear. Rich is completely clear.

[16:22:38] We're showing you.

[16:22:39] Quota should be hit, I think.

[16:22:40] So check out NervyScreen here.

[16:22:43] If you've seen the Halo 3 run, you know what's coming.

[16:22:45] This is one of my favorite little launches

[16:22:47] at the start here.

[16:22:47] This is called Early Pelican Board

[16:22:49] I get to look at Nervy's screen through my ears, it's so sick! Oh, I never

[16:22:51] get to watch Nervy! Yeah we've been playing

[16:22:53] online this whole time and so to do

[16:22:55] this in person then like be off latency

[16:22:57] It's coming. So i'm going to combine a nade jump with

[16:23:00] a hammer boost to get into

[16:23:02] Yes! That's my goat!

[16:23:04] That's my goat!

[16:23:06] Kronos

[16:23:08] Best bump, that's bump.

[16:23:12] And that's Sierra.

[16:23:13] That was it?

[16:23:14] That was that sub six?

[16:23:15] That was easy sub six.

[16:23:16] That was awesome.

[16:23:16] Very cool.

[16:23:18] All right and here we go on to crows.

[16:23:18] I would say we have time

[16:23:19] for a quick donation before we really get into this.

[16:23:21] For sure, just updating that we are at $3,526 on the Multiplayer Showcase.

[16:23:26] Let's keep that rolling!

[16:23:29] You do not want to miss it.

[16:23:31] No, we did not do all that practice

[16:23:32] and talk about crap to each other

[16:23:34] or not to get through it.

[16:23:35] You better make that into chat.

[16:23:37] If you want to see four friends

[16:23:38] turn into mortal enemies

[16:23:39] trust me, you want to see that.

[16:23:41] We do have some love quickly if you'd like to hear it as well?

[16:23:43] Yeah, please!

[16:23:44] We have $50 from Nicholas and Jack who say

[16:23:46] Wow! Adaf clutching up with the bros playing Halo?

[16:23:49] Can't believe I've lived long enough

[16:23:51] To see my youngest brother become my high school bully

[16:24:02] that's a wild way to get this.

[16:24:04] That is an incredible donation. My brother texted me before the run and said

[16:24:08] I don't think the donation people are going to like my donation.

[16:24:12] Oh, that is awesome.

[16:24:14] Wonderful! Thank you boys, thank you for watching, much love.

[16:24:18] Look I know your gonna call me needy but I gotta get some nades.

[16:24:22] I'm fully stocked oh i'm fully socks kill me brother all right thank you

[16:24:26] thank you for the cause yeah i died for the cause

[16:24:30] there's a lot of that i mean that's kind of the name of it do you have plasmas brad

[16:24:32] yeah i got one i'll be good okay so we got a big kind of a wave fight coming up here and this is

[16:24:38] going to be a pretty big divergence from the solo route um

[16:24:41] nervy's going to go in get into specific spots

[16:24:44] then we're going to do kind of like a death or a death abuse

[16:24:46] yeah you'll see what happens i just uh activated coordinates using your controller

[16:24:50] just hold down some buttons for a second it's actually built into the game i don't know if

[16:24:53] they just forgot to take it out or get some punchline.

[16:24:57] I'm gonna line up in a very specific spot.

[16:25:00] Oh, was the Bruce still alive?

[16:25:02] Yeah that guy's invincible I guess.

[16:25:04] Okay so Brian and I are going to die at the same time

[16:25:07] And some silliness is gonna happen we're going to

[16:25:09] the predetermined death location right here

[16:25:12] uh we love dying right here it's so nice all right yeah let's hope it works

[16:25:17] meanwhile Alright. Let's hope it works! Meanwhile, I will be using...

[16:25:18] I spawned on Kronos.

[16:25:20] Uh yeah.

[16:25:22] We have a lot of time for this so it's kinda chill.

[16:25:25] Yep go.

[16:25:27] It worked.

[16:25:29] Nice! I spawned on through. There we go.

[16:25:33] And...through. Good. Nice.

[16:25:42] He'll nerf it through the, and he's gonna spawn now. He's gonna kill me! Boy we just kill each other all the time. Honestly I'm starting to wonder if

[16:25:47] we actually are friends.

[16:25:52] So Kronos has the toughest job here, he's got a basically solo The Hanger fight. It is

[16:25:54] as Nervy loves to say,

[16:25:56] the freest quota in

[16:25:58] the game! Yeah so he has a lot of time

[16:26:01] to get this done. The goal for Kronos is just

[16:26:03] stay alive and... Marine please!

[16:26:05] Oh I can watch Kronos

[16:26:07] And not be killed by his own Marines

[16:26:09] You're gonna watch K a screen because oh my gosh

[16:26:13] this is nice okay the marine is scaring me he's throwing like every single frag

[16:26:20] when when the ai in this game decides to throw a grenade, it is their only decision for

[16:26:24] the next five minutes.

[16:26:25] Okay we should be good.

[16:26:26] Cool so basically what we've done is we're all set up and they hit successive triggers

[16:26:30] Yeah we're all standing in certain places so that when Kronos clears that fight

[16:26:33] the next trigger bumps to Frye then

[16:26:35] immediately to me and then immediately to Nervi

[16:26:37] And now Nervi is going to do a

[16:26:39] backwards deployable cover launch

[16:26:41] where it's basically you think about like shaking

[16:26:43] up a can of soda i can't believe it has made that motion

[16:26:45] on camera it's like uh shaking up a can of soda

[16:26:48] and i need to refer okay i totally just cooked you with that my bad

[16:26:52] it's like shake it up a can of soda and you wait for the pressure

[16:26:55] to build and then...

[16:26:56] Nice.

[16:26:59] And then I unfortunately

[16:27:00] was the airbag there.

[16:27:02] Thank you for being my airbag. If anybody wants to keep track of how many times

[16:27:05] brian i have to die for the cause nobody is more dedicated to the unsc than these two elites

[16:27:12] all right but the firing squad actually can't i hate that though and my nose is the worst

[16:27:17] say go in fire that wasn't go but that's you know what it worked 55. oh

[16:27:26] that's a marathon look right there. So the weapons can have different ammo when you pick them up?

[16:27:29] Yeah anywhere between 50 and 90 so this is actually one of the worst.

[16:27:32] Watch NervyScreen right here, this is the first Gravi ever launched.

[16:27:35] Called upon to serve... Oh Cronus. Watch Nervy's screen right here. This is the first Gravi ever launched, you're gonna see.

[16:27:36] Called upon to serve!

[16:27:38] Oh Cronus...

[16:27:40] We're good. Hang on.

[16:27:43] Oh okay that was kinda cool almost.

[16:27:46] I'm surprised they didn't die there.

[16:27:47] One of my favorite things about this run is getting to watch all these tricks from third person.

[16:27:51] It is super sick.

[16:27:52] That's okay.

[16:27:52] We got another very cool launch here.

[16:27:54] A rather famous one.

[16:27:55] You actually don't need to clear out the barracks.

[16:27:56] All right.

[16:27:57] You know what to do. Get on the forklift!

[16:27:58] I'm getting on the forklift sir.

[16:28:00] I'm on the forklift sir, I'm sorry.

[16:28:02] Thank you sir.

[16:28:04] Dudes will see this and think hell yeah.

[16:28:10] Wow. Hell yeah. Now activate this elevator, we do need to hit a specific trigger...

[16:28:14] That's okay.

[16:28:16] As long as we don't softlock there.

[16:28:18] I think we just have the checkpoint further down the elevator yeah that

[16:28:19] should be okay okay we might get another one actually we'll see okay better earlier than late

[16:28:26] they're not doing anything all, we got the voice line.

[16:28:29] Yeah, we're good.

[16:28:31] We actually coordinated jumping out that window in that order.

[16:28:36] All right so pretty complicated fight coming up here.

[16:28:38] I'm going to do another Manificate for us us through the store here I'm at the door go

[16:28:43] that's it that sounds so mine we're good I was like that was scary

[16:28:48] yep so I'm dying spot on the other side.

[16:28:52] Oh wait, Nervy went through. Can you kill me?

[16:28:54] Okay.

[16:28:56] Thank you so much.

[16:28:57] Okay, here we go! This is improv. Have we killed everybody yet?

[16:28:59] We're good. We gotta go up.

[16:29:01] Okay, the door just opened.

[16:29:06] There's everything.

[16:29:08] That's not everybody.

[16:29:10] I'm probably gonna be de-sp be these i will let you know when

[16:29:13] i'm good i might be able to get the hammer actually it's a good recovery

[16:29:16] go too far forward yeah karen yep uh everything just deloaded on my end

[16:29:20] i don't know if that is universal yeah Yeah, hold on... alright go ahead.

[16:29:24] This is a backup

[16:29:26] this is why we got backups

[16:29:28] Ledge is all about backups

[16:29:30] you need backups for your backups even

[16:29:32] and for those backups as well. Okay, let's move forward and uh...

[16:29:34] Yeah we're gonna help-we're gonna help Derpy here by just full clearing this hallway

[16:29:38] Should be good? Should be good. I do have a name. I got Spike

[16:29:42] Sooo I did pick up a camo specifically I do have fire spells. I got fire spells. Okay, cool.

[16:29:44] So I did pick up a camo specifically for this section.

[16:29:47] I'm trying to be careful here.

[16:29:50] It's so fun that I can just look at the T-Nerf screen.

[16:29:53] There are a bunch of sniper jackals, everyone's favorite they can just one shot me so you really

[16:29:57] want to camo there okay so here two players are gonna go for the bomb that's me and kronos

[16:30:01] and the other two are going to progress and then nervy is going to go for one of

[16:30:04] the hardest tricks in halo yes um we'll see what happens

[16:30:16] well i am in position.

[16:30:17] I'm just gonna die.

[16:30:18] Yeah.

[16:30:23] You may go.

[16:30:24] Yep.

[16:30:25] It's looking bad.

[16:30:27] Dang. It's looking bad.

[16:30:29] Dang!

[16:30:31] Good try, good try.

[16:30:36] So what I was trying to do is essentially clip through that wall and go all the way

[16:30:38] to another Cortana moment at the other end. It is literally so hard that it's ridiculous.

[16:30:40] Pretty nice that you could just have somebody go forward, and go up.

[16:30:42] Yeah for sure.

[16:30:43] So we're almost at the end of Crows here,

[16:30:45] And uh...

[16:30:46] Feeling pretty good so far!

[16:30:47] How about- how does the crowd feeling so far?

[16:30:49] How are we liking this?

[16:30:51] Oh my god!

[16:30:53] Okay, I'm not gonna lie

[16:30:55] didn't expect that response as well

[16:30:57] Um, I have a frag for you, Adep.

[16:30:59] Cool. So in a delightful change of pace

[16:31:02] I get to do the killing which is just so exciting

[16:31:05] for me. Thank you! You're welcome. Am I

[16:31:08] the furthest ahead? Yeah, you are.

[16:31:10] Oh, you have a DC?

[16:31:12] That's why I wanted to do the

[16:31:14] DC launch!

[16:31:16] I got out of your way.

[16:31:18] So, I would say Lana this is the best chance for some big time donations.

[16:31:24] Let's get some big-time donations alright?

[16:31:26] So just want to shout out that we are over $5,000 towards our 2v2 multiplayer showcase ten percent

[16:31:32] of the way folks let's keep going and part of what got us there yeah exactly

[16:31:38] was 150 from visuals who says shout out

[16:31:42] from team pipe it up and us on the back

[16:31:44] couch we're all rooting for you and know

[16:31:46] you're going to crush it please put this

[16:31:48] donation towards the halo 2v2 so

[16:31:50] we can watch this team tear each other apart by the way did someone say haloruns.com

[16:31:58] thanks so much would you like some more thanks yeah, Fizz. Yeah one more.

[16:32:03] Okay for sure.

[16:32:04] We also have $50 from Shift who says,

[16:32:06] Second dono to say Nervy is the GOAT!

[16:32:09] May Kronos please not kill too many Marines

[16:32:11] and I'm so excited to see

[16:32:13] the ONE AND ON only fat drumstick.

[16:32:17] Shout out Ship, that's one of my scream homies, love that guy.

[16:32:21] One more quick one? For sure we have $25 from Sapphire in pink who says,

[16:32:25] Lots of love from the back couch!

[16:32:27] Wouldn't miss primetime Halo 3 for the world! Less than three.

[16:32:31] Thank you, Sapphire.

[16:32:33] Thank you everybody.

[16:32:39] Alright so here we are onto savo highway very very iconic cable 3 speed running level a lot of driving you drive the storm. Yeah, yeah.

[16:32:45] Also, low key we get a chance to race each other

[16:32:48] a little bit here which is always nice.

[16:32:50] Give me a boost.

[16:32:53] So these Warthogs they have the slowest acceleration but the fastest top speed.

[16:32:58] It's like a high risk-high reward type endeavor.

[16:33:00] The better you drive and maintain that top speed, the faster you go.

[16:33:03] Nervy Loki has to be careful not to let Kronos get in the lead

[16:33:06] because if Kronos at any point

[16:33:08] gets the chance to like, be the Master Chief

[16:33:10] he will grab that opportunity

[16:33:12] and not let it go.

[16:33:15] That's my Gravity Hammer

[16:33:16] that's my DC, that's my Warthog.

[16:33:17] I'm going ahead if you want to see me spawn!

[16:33:20] If there is an agent of chaos in this run it is Cronus.

[16:33:26] It's not decent enough.

[16:33:28] Yeah, no it's fine.

[16:33:30] And the reason that all three of us get in Nervius Warthogs...

[16:33:33] The reason we stack up the warthogs is because if you have more people in warthogs

[16:33:36] You can still get more damage

[16:33:41] So it's both fast and safe

[16:33:46] and i'm ledge like having an empty hog is the death sentence especially at this next part

[16:33:50] which can be kind of scary good

[16:33:54] it's already scary, it was very scary

[16:33:58] oh no, nerf is dead scary i'm red bar oh nervy's dead

[16:34:06] and we have a backup that will actually spawn

[16:34:10] whoa Alright, everyone gather up. Woah!

[16:34:12] I think that was a... That's on me.

[16:34:14] Gather, gather.

[16:34:16] My bad, my bad.

[16:34:20] And we will get the backup pod. Oh. Oh, we don't get to do oh my god

[16:34:23] We'll get a safe time in it save 10 minutes guys this is so cringe

[16:34:30] You put it up there crudo I'll just throw the nade from here.

[16:34:33] Just throw it at Kronos.

[16:34:35] Yeah, I'll throw it at your nade.

[16:34:36] A $10,000 donation and I kill Kronos right now.

[16:34:38] I actually want people to hit Kronos in here, I feel.

[16:34:41] Really?

[16:34:42] Yeah, let's see if you can do it

[16:34:44] oh my god!

[16:34:48] sick wheelie! that was actually pretty cool

[16:34:52] we actually I actually caught up a little bit though, can you do that again? Yeah!

[16:34:54] We actually need to turn around here.

[16:34:57] Giving you the grab lift?

[16:34:59] Should be good

[16:35:01] That's teamwork baby

[16:35:05] What an easy-to craft we literally just put in there.

[16:35:07] That was awesome.

[16:35:10] So I'm gonna go through this little tube because

[16:35:12] there are a bunch of brutes with brute shots and

[16:35:14] it's comedy but in the wrong way.

[16:35:18] Oh, okay.

[16:35:20] Case in point.

[16:35:23] Yeah, you know I'm not going to make any comments about about how this SovO hazard hasn't gone till the end.

[16:35:27] There's things that I want to say but if I speak any of them into existence surely it will curse us.

[16:35:34] Nervy, you can turn cords off if you want, by the way.

[16:35:36] I don't know if you use them again.

[16:35:37] I turn them off actually once they're on.

[16:35:39] Really?

[16:35:40] Wow, how fun is that?

[16:35:42] It's a blast.

[16:35:43] I can't believe we just backseat games in Master Team.

[16:35:45] Well, I just thought maybe, you know,

[16:35:46] we're in the zone, we're in the zone we're locked

[16:35:47] in we're gaming with that drumstick you know who knows all better off i am plugged into

[16:35:52] the matrix right now so this is all oh okay okay this is just... Oh, okay.

[16:35:58] Okay, this is just literally

[16:35:58] all like Adaf...

[16:36:00] Sorry, Nervian Kronos here.

[16:36:01] Adaf and I

[16:36:02] literally just do...

[16:36:03] We have never been helpful

[16:36:04] in this section.

[16:36:05] Oh, I got a great shot.

[16:36:07] Okay, that's all you,

[16:36:07] Nervian.

[16:36:11] No pressure. Yeah, no pressure yeah no pressure we're good you've got this i'm gonna eventually drive up the sill murder so to end this level all you have to do is kill that turret

[16:36:17] and that barricade then move far enough forward

[16:36:19] all those enemies there that are scary doesn't actually matter nice that's why

[16:36:23] you're the goat

[16:36:29] did we do that after pros?

[16:36:30] I don't know.

[16:36:31] We can get a donation here probably.

[16:36:32] Let's get a couple.

[16:36:34] Ooh, let's do it!

[16:36:35] So we are already over $6000 towards our 2v2 multiplayer showcase going up steadily.

[16:36:40] Great work, everyone!

[16:36:42] So our first donation, $50 from Viz who says

[16:36:45] Hey Adaf, Bry, Chronos and Nervy

[16:36:47] It's been an absolute pleasure seeing y'all practice for this run

[16:36:50] Rock it with that

[16:36:52] stellar commentary and gameplay that I'm

[16:36:54] so used to seeing, and

[16:36:56] they sure are

[16:36:57] Thank you so much, Bailey, love you

[16:36:59] We also have $150 from ADF's family who say,

[16:37:02] we're so proud of you even though

[16:37:04] we are not a first person shooter family.

[16:37:07] And like a fun,

[16:37:08] we love you!

[16:37:09] Damn my whole ass family is like it's like, we love you damn my whole ass family it's like we

[16:37:20] there's like a little watch party with my family. Oh, that's so cool! Hello 8S Family.

[16:37:26] I wonder what things

[16:37:28] I could say about you that your family has no idea.

[16:37:31] You get to learn

[16:37:32] a lot about a guy over here.

[16:37:33] Halo 3 Co-op tells you a lot about somebody.

[16:37:35] It really does.

[16:37:38] Alright, so we're onto the storm here.

[16:37:40] This is a super combat heavy level

[16:37:42] and we are going to be having to meet a lot of various like kill quotas

[16:37:46] in order to advance the mission and they are not the freest quarters no no looking pretty

[16:37:52] good so far though oh

[16:37:58] i just got was able to get him but he's

[16:38:00] on you guys i'm dead

[16:38:02] thank god

[16:38:06] go ahead Oh my god, I don't want to touch that thing. Do I hurt?

[16:38:10] Huh? Got it.

[16:38:14] Oh we got... Nice! Okay cool wow, I can't believe- Oh, look out. Nice.

[16:38:17] Okay cool wow I can't believe...

[16:38:19] This is the scariest part of the whole level right here.

[16:38:21] Yeah this might be the scariest part of the whole run.

[16:38:23] These marines will not

[16:38:25] hesitate to fire their rockets directly they are determined oh my god

[16:38:30] what are they doing we're chilling okay i'm so far back please okay i'm dead. Okay.

[16:38:38] Uh...I'm gonna spawn in the lake bed

[16:38:40] I might still be able to get something.

[16:38:42] That- my whole life just flashed before

[16:38:44] my eyes. Three marines

[16:38:46] shot a rocket and somehow- A happened oh my god marine kind of

[16:38:57] both choppers are alive i'm only going to get to the Wraith in a second.

[16:39:00] Okay, this is not good. The chopper just killed me.

[16:39:04] We're fine!

[16:39:05] The Marines got him probably.

[16:39:07] Wraith is down.

[16:39:09] What's hitting me? Oh, ghosts are alive

[16:39:10] far side? Uh...

[16:39:12] Oh I'm dead. Okay stay alive. No!

[16:39:14] It's just you. You should spawn on me

[16:39:16] We're good we're good

[16:39:20] Hi, this is legendary that's how quickly

[16:39:24] that's how quickly it unravels sometimes you truly just need somebody to like hide yeah

[16:39:30] uh i'll look at this one more ghost here yeah guys Yeah. I'll try on the Wraith.

[16:39:33] Yeah, Ghost E flipped

[16:39:34] so I think you still have to kill it.

[16:39:35] There's one Chopper.

[16:39:37] Wait, the Wraith never died?

[16:39:39] That's wild.

[16:39:41] Okay, next wave. Sun. Wait, the wraith never died? Yeah, I'm getting that right now. That's wild. I got him.

[16:39:42] Okay.

[16:39:43] Okay, next wave.

[16:39:44] Yep, somehow.

[16:39:46] I don't think I'll be able to kill it.

[16:39:47] I'll try.

[16:39:50] So Storm has a rather famous coffee pasta.

[16:39:50] Oh, I got it.

[16:39:51] Worth it. Gorgeous!

[16:39:53] Okay we have to Phantom Stone. Both Phantoms are dead.

[16:39:54] I think that might've been...

[16:39:55] I mean, I'm not gonna say it was my fault.

[16:39:57] It wasn't your fault.

[16:39:59] But I stood in the wrong place.

[16:40:01] Wow.

[16:40:03] Was that a load? Yeah. the wrong place. Wow. Dude, this guy died, please?

[16:40:04] Was that a load?

[16:40:08] We hit a load, but there's still something alive.

[16:40:09] Did somebody pick up my grav lift?

[16:40:11] I don't have the grav lift now.

[16:40:13] There we go, I got him. Someone have the grav lift. No. There we go, I got him. Someone have the grab lift?

[16:40:14] Okay, raid 7 neutralized.

[16:40:15] There's the dialogue.

[16:40:16] Hmm...

[16:40:17] Um, the grab lift might be on my X up there?

[16:40:20] Oh.

[16:40:21] Well good luck if-

[16:40:22] Well I need a monkaS!

[16:40:23] We don't have a load still by the way.

[16:40:24] Oh wait really?

[16:40:25] I don't think so.

[16:40:26] No we got the dialogue.

[16:40:27] Yeah we've got the dialogue and the load.

[16:40:29] Dialogue means...

[16:40:31] I mix the two up constantly.

[16:40:33] Do we not have a...

[16:40:35] Okay Nervy has a monster.

[16:40:38] That was going to be scary.

[16:40:39] I don't have a grab left so this will be fun.

[16:40:40] So we're going to be

[16:40:40] killing the hunters?

[16:40:42] Checkpoint by the way.

[16:40:43] Yeah.

[16:40:44] We'll see what happens.

[16:40:45] I love how quickly

[16:40:46] this just evolved

[16:40:47] into complete

[16:40:48] another chaos.

[16:40:53] This is really

[16:40:54] the only way

[16:40:54] it can go, though.

[16:40:56] Oh, the scarab spawned by the way. This is really the only way it can go though.

[16:40:59] Oh, the scarabs spawn by the way. Yeah, Nervy's through the door.

[16:41:02] Okay, nice!

[16:41:04] So you don't actually need to fight that Scarab

[16:41:06] You can just sort of line up the mongers like that and well...just skip it.

[16:41:10] Anyway so this next segment is going to be...

[16:41:13] Much harder now.

[16:41:14] Interesting?

[16:41:15] Yeah I'm definitely a little nervous at this juncture as long as we just follow

[16:41:22] me I have a plan no one everyone support the chief

[16:41:27] do you want to share your plan with the rest of your team?

[16:41:30] Okay, well, the plan was die.

[16:41:33] It's all going according to plan.

[16:41:34] Oh, I'm dead.

[16:41:35] Am I last alive?

[16:41:36] No, you're two up, two up.

[16:41:37] So there is a little house that we can go into

[16:41:40] that has a sniper.

[16:41:41] Oh, that's a human?

[16:41:41] My bad.

[16:41:43] One Marine dead?

[16:41:44] Wow.

[16:41:44] I think you killed everything except the Brutes.

[16:41:48] What did I say?

[16:41:52] Nice. Alright, so do you see

[16:41:54] the house on the left side that

[16:41:56] almost is going towards? Yeah yeah

[16:41:58] Go to the house.

[16:42:01] I have a bubble shield if that helps us at all

[16:42:01] by the way.

[16:42:02] Oh god, these hunters

[16:42:03] are going crazy.

[16:42:07] Yeah, normally

[16:42:07] the strat we would do

[16:42:08] is completely deload

[16:42:09] these guys.

[16:42:12] Oh, we have two snipers here, that good. Yeah so I figure this will be good

[16:42:14] Oh

[16:42:18] Hit the hammer hit the hammer

[16:42:20] Oh I hear ya. I got it, I got it, I got it.

[16:42:22] Wait, I have a sniper though.

[16:42:24] There's one right here.

[16:42:26] We're good, we're good.

[16:42:28] So we need Bri to carry that hammer through

[16:42:30] the next level because I will make things fast i can boost you

[16:42:35] uh there's a bru oh let's kill him and then yes thank you jump up Yup. Thank you.

[16:42:44] Jump!

[16:42:45] Uh, hold on...

[16:42:46] Okay.

[16:42:47] Yeah yeah your timing right now.

[16:42:48] So you're supposed to go to this AA cannon all the way around but you can actually shoot it from here with good shots.

[16:42:53] Just like that!

[16:42:54] Nice, okay!

[16:42:56] We did it!

[16:42:58] We're alive out of the storm!

[16:43:02] We were fighting for our life there a little bit.

[16:43:04] Yeah, that was definitely... That was a storm of all time.

[16:43:08] Alright! Fun level though, Floodgate. Super movement based and uh...

[16:43:13] You should have the hammer.

[16:43:14] I have the hammer i have the hammer

[16:43:16] yeah so we're gonna do a combination of

[16:43:17] uh we crouch

[16:43:18] and then like jump out of the crotch to

[16:43:20] do a slide

[16:43:22] uh and then we get the hammer from bri

[16:43:23] for bonus distance.

[16:43:28] Nice! Should be good.

[16:43:29] Cool.

[16:43:30] And this level is largely Nervy, I'm gonna direct your attention to Nervy's screen

[16:43:33] for basically this entire level?

[16:43:35] Yep.

[16:43:39] Yeah, we're kind of... We kind of just don't do anything here.

[16:43:42] It's just going to be a bunch

[16:43:43] of hammer launches. This is probably one of my favorite levels

[16:43:45] in the game. It's so cool solo.

[16:43:47] Let's get it watch and scream though.

[16:43:49] Oh yeah true.

[16:43:52] Who's boosting Nervy?

[16:43:54] Briahs?

[16:43:55] Yep.

[16:43:56] Okay.

[16:43:57] Here's a cone launch. these cones are a little funny.

[16:43:59] Uh oh.

[16:44:00] Get away from me!

[16:44:01] Please don't die.

[16:44:02] We're good.

[16:44:04] Thank you.

[16:44:06] Boost me!

[16:44:14] Oh, I just tris flop weapon my My bad. That's okay. And I would say we have time

[16:44:15] for like one donation while we set up for this next

[16:44:17] big trick. For sure., shouting out that we have over

[16:44:52] That's my goat right there. That's why Nervy is the goat dude.

[16:44:56] Ah it's so satisfying I love that trick so much. It's yeah...I can't believe you just

[16:45:00] said that first try by the way. I was like let's not gloss over

[16:45:02] that. That was pretty sick.

[16:45:06] It's really weird those DCs

[16:45:08] obviously you're not meant to go that far

[16:45:10] so it's a little finicky sometimes,

[16:45:13] but yeah, really happy that worked out.

[16:45:14] And now we got my favorite trick coming up.

[16:45:16] Here comes the pizza, baby.

[16:45:17] Here comes the pizza!

[16:45:19] So this section...

[16:45:21] That's the pizza right there.

[16:45:21] Nerdy's got the uh the pizza launch

[16:45:24] chronos is going for a backup dc launch and then brian i are pushing forward

[16:45:27] just in case oh jokes on you i'm watching nervy do this okay

[16:45:30] i'm pushing forward. Nice!

[16:45:34] Don't kill me!

[16:45:36] Go, go, go!

[16:45:38] Let's go Nervy!

[16:45:44] So I combined a hammer launch with essentially an equipment jump so I threw down what we we call it a pizza but its really like a trip mine

[16:45:45] and we jumped off of it in mid air

[16:45:47] to kind of keep that momentum going

[16:45:48] with the height

[16:45:51] So Nervy is gonna do another slide jump

[16:45:54] and hammer launch or hammer boost I should say to the end of the level.

[16:45:58] And we will be through to...

[16:46:01] The back half of the game which is as Halo runners love to say where this round really starts.

[16:46:05] Yes! Who hit me? As Halo runners love to say, where this run really starts. Yes.

[16:46:07] Who hit me?

[16:46:08] Nobody hit you.

[16:46:09] So I'm gonna try and end this level before this moment ends

[16:46:12] by doing some boosts over here to hit the final button

[16:46:14] Nice!

[16:46:18] Boys... to hit the final button. Nice, nice. And that's Bloodgate. Boys?

[16:46:20] And we've got time for probably one donation

[16:46:23] as we get into the next level.

[16:46:25] For sure.

[16:46:26] So we have $250 from Zed F who says,

[16:46:29] Halo 3 with the boys made for some of my favorite memories.

[16:46:33] Loving the good vibes on this run.

[16:46:35] Put this towards the multiplayer showcase.

[16:46:37] Thanks so much for supporting that, we love to see it.

[16:46:41] Alright, so yeah, Ark, if what you saw so far

[16:46:43] you thought, man they look kind of hard

[16:46:45] me and my boys back home 2007

[16:46:47] we couldn't do that in four hours well this is where the run goes um dare i say

[16:46:52] insane omo it's this is really where the run begins yeah uh every single level from here

[16:46:58] on out is going to be i'd say considerably longer than anything we've played so far.

[16:47:01] And we're gonna have a lot more diverse roles and different things that we're doing.

[16:47:04] I'm slow by the way.

[16:47:05] Oh wow!

[16:47:06] Oh I got stuck!

[16:47:07] I got stuck by a drunk!

[16:47:09] Okay... Push forward! I got stuck. I got stuck by a drone. Okay, I'm just gonna push forward, I guess.

[16:47:11] Push forward.

[16:47:12] We need to get the Brute Shot.

[16:47:14] I've got the Brute Shot.

[16:47:14] Oh no, I'm going to die.

[16:47:16] Just go!

[16:47:17] I'm trying!

[16:47:18] Okay if anything there is the Brute Shots right there there all right i didn't need a sniper as

[16:47:21] well so i'm going to try to hopefully just sneak up i'm also gonna go back for the for the people

[16:47:28] that i lost i killed the jackal oh my my goodness. Maybe too early.

[16:47:31] I almost died. Boys, what's going on back there? We're good!

[16:47:34] Don't you worry your pretty little face, Nathan. We're fine.

[16:47:37] I'm not worrying my pretty little face. Co-op strats by the way.

[16:47:40] We've got a cool little spawn thing stuff

[16:47:42] It's a... You'll see! It's a thing

[16:47:44] It's a thing to have

[16:47:46] I got you out, I got you out

[16:47:48] Let's go! Wooo! And this is a part

[16:47:50] of our birthday party right here.

[16:47:52] Nice, okay.

[16:47:55] This is where the level...

[16:47:57] This is where I become frightened.

[16:48:02] Yeah we're all gonna take different roles here.

[16:48:05] Going to get in a bunch of different vehicles and there's a lot of combat coming up.

[16:48:11] Nice! Good job, good job, good job. Clear?

[16:48:14] Okay!

[16:48:16] These grunts are freaking out.

[16:48:19] No Russian everybody your Uber's here.

[16:48:21] Oh thank you, thank you.

[16:48:23] How much for the fare?

[16:48:26] Uh...

[16:48:26] How about, uh...

[16:48:28] Whatever it is, like $36,000 left to get the...

[16:48:31] Or whatever it is for the...

[16:48:33] You can just pay that.

[16:48:34] Yeah, we got $ got 42 661.

[16:48:40] i got about 20 in my pocket oh yeah all right i'm good go go go go

[16:48:44] i want to try something this is good we're going i want to try something new here when you get down if Oh, yeah. I'm good. Go go go go.

[16:48:45] It's good!

[16:48:46] We're going!

[16:48:47] I want to try something new here.

[16:48:48] When you get down into the basin tell me to die.

[16:48:49] Because I just like...

[16:48:51] Okay, yeah.

[16:48:52] Anyway.

[16:48:54] Oh, chronos first?

[16:48:55] Yep.

[16:48:57] So we need to do this in a particular way

[16:48:59] to avoid getting extra spawns

[16:49:03] Wow they are going after it

[16:49:05] Yeah I'm almost dead So So we need to go up this hill like this.

[16:49:07] It's going to skip a whole bunch of spawn triggers

[16:49:09] which is gonna make this next section

[16:49:10] a helluva lot easier.

[16:49:11] Chronos no!

[16:49:13] Very good.

[16:49:15] No!

[16:49:17] Die?

[16:49:18] Okay, Kronos I swear to god.

[16:49:24] Alright watch out, I'm weaving in.

[16:49:29] Good comms, I almost killed you!

[16:49:31] Okay most everything over there should be dead

[16:49:33] for an OC from like one guy?

[16:49:35] Uh Wraith is pulling away

[16:49:37] and dodging me, we're good.

[16:49:40] Nice! I'm going to take this Warthog

[16:49:42] And put it in a very specific spot

[16:49:44] You will see that come into play a little bit later

[16:49:46] Come along ghost

[16:49:48] Yeah he's right here. First one... Oh no! We're good. No we're not.

[16:49:53] I'll melee real quick. The reason that we melee is to prevent teammates from spawning on it.

[16:50:00] He's coming back around, oh no!

[16:50:03] I got him, I got him.

[16:50:04] Should have been the left Wraith, I have the left Wraith.

[16:50:09] Okay, nice recovery, nice recovery.

[16:50:11] Good stuff fellas.

[16:50:13] Yeah I'll clap for that.

[16:50:15] I'll clap for my co-op teammates!

[16:50:17] They love my boys!

[16:50:22] What can I say? I'm just a proud mom i love my boys

[16:50:27] all right okay all right huh okay you said something no okay All righty. Huh? Okay.

[16:50:32] Did you say something?

[16:50:33] No.

[16:50:34] Okay.

[16:50:35] So I need to get a specific ghost here,

[16:50:37] specifically the one that either Adepts or mine

[16:50:39] I need to have here in order for

[16:50:41] a funny little trick here.

[16:50:42] As long as it wasn't the one that was upside

[16:50:44] down you should be fine oh oh did it okay we had a backup yeah we haven't yet oh wait what

[16:50:49] was well we need to die tell us when to die. Die!

[16:50:54] This will be really interesting doing this back up here

[16:50:56] I'm not gonna lie.

[16:50:58] What was the plan again? We go for the choppers?

[16:51:00] Yeah you take the chopper

[16:51:02] I'm going to... I don't know how to- I take the chopper?

[16:51:05] Uh, someone- I think Chronos takes it.

[16:51:07] And then we kill these two choppers.

[16:51:09] It's been a while since we did this.

[16:51:11] We haven't had to do this in awhile.

[16:51:13] Come here buddy yeah he's coming oh let's go that was insane that has never happened

[16:51:24] i'd like to say that was calculated

[16:51:25] by fading one over

[16:51:27] but that would be

[16:51:28] a 4,000 IQ play.

[16:51:29] That actually just

[16:51:31] saves us so much time.

[16:51:34] Are the ghosts dead

[16:51:35] for this?

[16:51:35] Yeah.

[16:51:36] Oh nice. Is it just the Wraiths? Hi Wraith Are the ghosts dead, Kronos? Yeah.

[16:51:36] Oh nice!

[16:51:37] Is it just the Wraith?

[16:51:38] Hi Wraith.

[16:51:39] Okay yes.

[16:51:40] Make a decision, Wraith.

[16:51:42] The dead?

[16:51:43] Cool.

[16:51:44] Wow.

[16:51:45] We take those.

[16:51:46] Yeah we absolutely do. We 100% take those.

[16:51:48] Okay.

[16:51:49] Sick.

[16:51:50] I need a flare power drink.

[16:51:53] I have a power drink for you.

[16:51:55] Cool.

[16:51:55] So we'll do it after this.

[16:51:57] So to explain what happened there

[16:52:00] Basically Bry parked a Warhog in the specific spot

[16:52:03] and for some reason some overlapping funnies happen

[16:52:06] We don't know why that happens yet

[16:52:09] There's a grunt alive, there's a grunt alive. Oh really? Oh. Brother

[16:52:11] That is so sad

[16:52:13] Okay. Well there's not a grunt alive anymore

[16:52:15] Well we have some time for donations

[16:52:16] This is actually the perfect time because we're going back to something here adef

[16:52:21] we have ten thousand dollars from the yeti pencils down hands up and they say hey all yeah Pencils down. Hands up.

[16:52:30] And they say, hey all! Yeti here!

[16:52:32] We want that Halo showcase!

[16:52:34] Let's go!

[16:52:36] And we're at $18,000

[16:52:38] towards the 50,000

[16:52:41] that we need.

[16:52:43] Okay here's a big trick

[16:52:45] coming up so right here

[16:52:47] Nervy is going to hit a trigger

[16:52:49] and this door is going to open

[16:52:51] and hopefully i should be able to jump into

[16:52:54] the scare if this doesn't look the best i believe

[16:52:58] yeah go chrono nice heck yeah so brian we found Go Kronos! Heck yeah.

[16:53:02] So Brian and I, we found out that the easiest

[16:53:04] way to make that work was for Brian

[16:53:06] and I to look at the wall and do nothing.

[16:53:10] Whoa, hello. I do need to move far enough forward otherwise the Scarab will essentially teleport so you should be good for us.

[16:53:17] Yeah and I should be able to get off of this turret and destroy the Scarab while on board so it saves quite a lot

[16:53:24] of time

[16:53:28] here comes here comes On everybody supporting the Chief!

[16:53:38] Okay, Nerby. I'm gonna die here and then hopefully he'll spawn on me

[16:53:42] Sounds good.

[16:53:44] On melee?

[16:53:45] Yeah, we're meleeing.

[16:53:46] So by meleeing and jumping

[16:53:47] we basically make the game think that we are in combat

[16:53:50] because we are with this.

[16:53:51] Oh nice, look out, look out!

[16:53:54] And we can force players to spawn on other players so yeah um the power drink we are

[16:54:00] just kind of waiting for the next segment here it's going to be a little while we're gonna kill

[16:54:02] a marine to prevent some dialogue so uh go ahead and take it away with the donuts.

[16:54:07] Yeah, for sure. I just also want

[16:54:08] to shout out that we're working towards our $50

[16:54:10] million lifetime

[16:54:12] donated towards charity, and

[16:54:14] we need to get just over $905,000. We're sitting at

[16:54:17] $828,000

[16:54:19] everybody. We are making swift

[16:54:21] work of this. Let's get there. We also have

[16:54:23] $10 from Victorian Kestrel

[16:54:25] who says it Kestrel checking says, Hey Kestrel! Checking in from the back

[16:54:28] couch. Loving the great vibes I'm getting

[16:54:30] right now from GDQ's past and present.

[16:54:33] Donating for the death

[16:54:34] match at the end of the run but almost wish

[16:54:36] it was an FFA. Smiley face! Good luck

[16:54:39] gamers. I'm about to die. Do not

[16:54:40] shoot me again.

[16:54:42] Let's let the plasma roll.

[16:54:43] I will not be the co-op team's punching bag.

[16:54:46] We got time for one more.

[16:54:47] For sure. We have $10 from Creed who says,

[16:54:50] Boost me? Okay, Nervy.

[16:54:52] You're a wonderful human being.

[16:54:54] You have a gentle voice that's easy to listen to.

[16:54:57] You're a talented speedrunner.

[16:54:58] Let's get a hype train boosting our boy nervy hell yeah

[16:55:03] i know it would suck if somebody were pissing right here what the oh my god dude

[16:55:08] i love how you still tried to force that in there well because okay look i don't think

[16:55:12] i want to be clear i don't think that joke is funny but we have done it every single run since

[16:55:17] we started six months ago if we didn't do do it, I'm going to be honest,

[16:55:20] I would be upset.

[16:55:21] Oh,

[16:55:21] I think I'm going to die.

[16:55:23] No,

[16:55:23] I'm alive.

[16:55:25] I'm not.

[16:55:25] Okay,

[16:55:26] thank you.

[16:55:26] Yeah.

[16:55:27] I've never been in front here.

[16:55:28] I'm a little scared.

[16:55:29] whoopsie pie. Great comms, Nervy!

[16:55:32] Yep, you know...

[16:55:34] Go ahead.

[16:55:34] I'm gonna go.

[16:55:35] Slow poke chief over here.

[16:55:37] You know,

[16:55:38] I know.

[16:55:39] Just,

[16:55:40] we're good now.

[16:55:42] Oh, I get to push the button!

[16:55:44] Oh yeah here we go there's a really cool strat that's coming up here.

[16:55:46] This is huge for me.

[16:55:48] Yeah.

[16:55:50] I'm so happy for you. Let's go!

[16:55:56] All right, Kronos and I are going to go

[16:55:59] to the edge of this little drop down over here

[16:56:02] And we're gonna try get a position for a fight earlier while Ada or well,

[16:56:05] Adaf and Irby are literally gonna be fighting for there.

[16:56:09] No bubble in there.

[16:56:15] We're good.

[16:56:15] I'm through.

[16:56:16] Yeah, we're good.

[16:56:17] I got it.

[16:56:17] We're good.

[16:56:18] No, let's go.

[16:56:20] Did you get the chrono?

[16:56:21] Yeah, yeah.

[16:56:21] Let's go!

[16:56:22] Okay, okay.

[16:56:25] We're just waiting for spawns now. I was not able to kill the Chieftain, just a heads up.

[16:56:27] Heard that.

[16:56:29] There's two more back there if you want to get them.

[16:56:33] Where is the other?

[16:56:35] I might be...okay, I the chief. We're good.

[16:56:38] There is a Brute alive in there but he didn't make it through the door so we should be fine.

[16:56:40] So if it locks we are good. Yeah we are fine.

[16:56:45] That was so bad.

[16:56:46] Are we serious? Okay, this arc was genuinely good.

[16:56:50] That could be a gold. I don't know. I think that is probably a gold. This is stupid

[16:56:54] fast. That was... dude, nux!

[16:56:57] Nux.

[16:56:59] That was so good. Oh my god.

[16:57:01] We've never done that well.

[16:57:03] And that's the end of the arc?

[16:57:05] Yeah. I'm clapping for us bro look any run that makes it okay this

[16:57:10] level oh my god hold on hold me hold me i'm holding you babe i'm holding you baby oh are

[16:57:14] you calling me baby okay um okay this level is from start to finish so unbearably stressful

[16:57:21] um yes we just right out the gate there's

[16:57:23] this combat encounter on the beachhead we need to clear everything

[16:57:26] and then after that it just becomes oh where's the dc

[16:57:30] so we'll see what happens here i think i got the chipton we'll see

[16:57:35] i'm gonna get a lot of use out of this laser here both turrets are dead nice i think

[16:57:40] the cheap thing instead yeah yeah they're not pushing off so we're good for that

[16:57:57] we're good cool nice clear okay I don't see a DC you know these benches as we've found in quite a few of our runs.

[16:58:00] All right, fellas.

[16:58:02] Godspeed.

[16:58:03] Yeah.

[16:58:03] Best of luck.

[16:58:04] This driving sequence?

[16:58:06] I have nightmares about this driving sequence.

[16:58:08] Was that what your nightmare was about?

[16:58:10] Honestly? Low key? you're probably just having

[16:58:12] nightmares without doing this part yeah uh and then right after this part is going to be

[16:58:16] what i think is probably the coolest and maybe also hardest it's hard it's hard

[16:58:19] uh trick in the run but we'll get there when

[16:58:21] we get there yeah oh that's okay early ghost not great

[16:58:25] okay i'm aiming turrets wow oh no we're hurting diverting

[16:58:31] we're fine. We're good.

[17:00:30] Go... okay!

[17:00:32] Now they're all gonna teleport right behind me in a warthog!

[17:00:39] I cannot tell you how happy that we,

[17:00:42] I don't think anything has killed our run more than that sequence right there.

[17:00:46] Okay so basically Kronos hit a trigger and then Brian Otto

[17:00:49] and I jumped out of our vehicles exactly

[17:00:52] seven seconds later.

[17:00:54] And that allowed us to sort of be in this limbo state

[17:00:56] so that we could get back to where we were and do that

[17:00:58] thing where we bump triggers

[17:00:59] in order to, you know to proceed the level

[17:01:02] without ever having to walk all the way back.

[17:01:05] If you're curious about tech,

[17:01:07] the game thought they were a warthog.

[17:01:10] I was

[17:01:11] a warthog. Alright now we're going to squad up

[17:01:13] and we are off

[17:01:15] to the races here as we head into the back half

[17:01:17] of... I have another DC by the way

[17:01:19] Oh nice! Okay so that means that I'm

[17:01:21] the only- okay so I have an invis here

[17:01:24] and we need it like six minutes from now?

[17:01:26] Yes. And that makes this

[17:01:28] the single most stressful segment of the run for me?

[17:01:30] At least we don't have to look for a DC here. That's true.

[17:01:32] Yeah. I cannot die.

[17:01:36] One of the greatest levels in Halo history, this one. So many great moments.

[17:01:41] See the Wraith falling down

[17:01:49] oh my goodness I think there is a Banshee on me

[17:01:54] nice good, good job!

[17:01:58] I'm right behind you Kronos.

[17:02:04] Ow. Nice!

[17:02:06] I have a Breach Shot.

[17:02:08] You can have it again.

[17:02:11] That's all good, you guys need to clear him out anyway.

[17:02:13] Yeah, I'm clearing them.

[17:02:18] I do have a DC so I don't need any materials. You should be good.

[17:02:20] Moving forward.

[17:02:23] Alright...

[17:02:26] And okay, here we go.

[17:02:28] Nice checkpoint.

[17:02:30] Not out of it yet.

[17:02:32] My favorite skip in the entire co-op round coming up here.

[17:02:36] Mind if I get a quick update?

[17:02:38] Go for it.

[17:02:40] Alright, we're almost at $20,000 towards our multiplayer showcase.

[17:02:46] Now I don't want to alarm y'all we're at 45 minutes through the run. That estimate is at an hour 20 so if we wanna see more of these incredible runners, let's keep working towards those alright folks?

[17:02:58] Yeah! Let's keep working towards those, all right folks?

[17:03:01] Yeah! All right. So there is a little hole in the window now thanks to these flood and using

[17:03:07] a DC well we can exploit that.

[17:03:11] Nice! Are you through? I'm through!

[17:03:13] Okay. I'm gonna die.

[17:03:16] There's a lot alive?

[17:03:18] Oh, do you need help?

[17:03:21] Hold on a second, N can live. You got it?

[17:03:23] Yeah why not, I'll clutch up. What's the problem?

[17:03:25] Okay cool

[17:03:27] He sounded scared

[17:03:29] Also I fell off, I'm not sure if this is an issue. It might be?

[17:03:32] You should be fine. Okay you think so?

[17:03:34] I can probably make this. Thank you. That actually

[17:03:36] Yeah, I got you.

[17:03:38] You just picked me up right there.

[17:03:40] I'd like to say that was intentional but uh it worked anyway so the reason we're doing this is

[17:03:43] we're skipping a huge driving sequence and i'm just going to take a quick scroll backwards to

[17:03:47] hit the trigger that we would otherwise miss

[17:03:50] i didn't die good Good job. Thank you.

[17:03:53] I'm sorry for... If it sounded like a doubt to you,

[17:03:54] it's because I wasn't.

[17:03:55] I'm sorry.

[17:03:56] Hey look,

[17:03:57] I'm all about open communication

[17:03:58] even in doubt.

[17:03:59] Thanks babe.

[17:04:00] Yeah no problem babe.

[17:04:01] Alright die.

[17:04:02] Hornets inbound! Hornets inbound! no problem babe all right die

[17:04:10] nice okay here we go very cool sequence coming up here the double scarab so these two scarabs are

[17:04:15] gonna spawn in the sky and then uh two hornets on our teammates oh i got it early uh uh i'll just

[17:04:20] clutch out okay my bad i was i was locked in.

[17:04:25] So, I'll give you the sort of bird's eye perspective here.

[17:04:27] Oh, my goodness, man!

[17:04:29] Bri is jumping down.

[17:04:30] Nice.

[17:04:33] Nervy's in. Nice.

[17:04:36] So they're going to beat the Scarabs early.

[17:04:39] I'll melee for you, Kronos.

[17:04:40] Hopefully.

[17:04:41] Hi!

[17:04:42] Oh no!

[17:04:43] Oh god!

[17:04:43] Go away!

[17:04:44] Okay, we're good.

[17:04:44] Nice.

[17:04:45] You good?

[17:04:45] Yes. I got the Hornet.

[17:04:47] Okay, are you ready for the trick?

[17:04:49] I'm ready for the trick!

[17:04:51] Cornus did you spawn?

[17:04:52] I'm a little scared of the ghost though,

[17:04:53] I will not lie.

[17:04:55] We'll be buddies here!

[17:04:56] Okay, I'm coming, Nervy.

[17:04:57] I can maybe shoot these guys.

[17:05:02] Gonna hop up on this hornet and we're gonna get to the end of this sequence in style.

[17:05:11] Does this look good to you i think so okay hi hi nice amateur.

[17:05:18] Nice!

[17:05:22] Hey, uh, Nervy?

[17:05:25] Yes? Just out of curiosity... Yes? Do you have any

[17:05:26] games on your phone?

[17:05:28] I got so many games on my phone.

[17:05:31] Do you have any games on your phone?

[17:05:33] I've got Temple Run, I've got...

[17:05:34] You've got Doodle Jump?

[17:05:35] I've got Doodle Jump.

[17:05:36] Bro!

[17:05:37] I'm locked in.

[17:05:44] Alright, so Nervy's going to go for a huge

[17:05:45] Frigate. Yeah, there he goes through the sky.

[17:05:48] This is why we needed the camo. Yes.

[17:05:51] It keeps them alive when there are just so many

[17:05:52] enemies through here, and we're just trying to walk up

[17:05:55] in case we need to hit any triggers retroactively

[17:05:56] or in the event that Nervy dies, which he won't

[17:05:59] because he's a ghost. I'd also like to let Twitch chat know

[17:06:01] That multiplayer incentive

[17:06:03] There are only what two levels left

[17:06:05] In the entire run? Yeah we gotta

[17:06:07] We gotta get moving on that

[17:06:09] You gotta get moving on that incentive Like brian auto happiness meter is going down

[17:06:14] if bryan auto happiness meter reaches critical levels guys i don't want to talk about it

[17:06:22] i didn't want to kill you there.

[17:06:24] Oh okay, that was what I was waiting for this morning.

[17:06:26] Do you think we can read donations as

[17:06:28] we close out of here Nervy? What do you think?

[17:06:30] Yeah probably. Alright.

[17:06:32] I don't know what I'm on about.

[17:06:33] So let's work on that Brian Otto happiness meter.

[17:06:34] We have $250 from PR who says donating for the awesome cause and for this super fun co-op

[17:06:41] run.

[17:06:42] I want to see these four friends turn on each other

[17:06:44] though, so putting this towards the

[17:06:46] incentive. Thank you so much.

[17:06:48] Oh please let me hit... No! Come

[17:06:50] on! Oh no!

[17:06:53] You got a cheer anyway.

[17:06:54] So close.

[17:06:56] We have $5 from NerdPiggy

[17:06:58] who says, we have less time

[17:07:00] than you think to hit that Halo 2 V2

[17:07:02] incentive because these gamers are fast.

[17:07:05] Let's get a $5 train going, also hi from the back

[17:07:09] couch! Hi Big E! We need to push up. Yep I'm there

[17:07:13] I did something cool then I did something cringe

[17:07:16] Hey that's life

[17:07:18] You can keep earning donations we actually just bought us

[17:07:20] more donation time

[17:07:22] Amazing! We have $100 from Adafs mod team

[17:07:24] who say good luck Adaf's mod team who say good luck, Adaf and team.

[17:07:27] We're a bit surprised this isn't being played on an

[17:07:29] array of Spinda in Pokemon Emerald

[17:07:31] but we'll let it slide.

[17:07:32] Much love from Donut Shoes, Hawkwing

[17:07:35] and the mod team. Thanks so much y'all

[17:07:37] Thank you

[17:07:37] And we got time for at least

[17:07:41] one more. Let's do it. We have $500

[17:07:43] from Captain SV who says

[17:07:45] this is an amazing group to watch play Halo. Hope they

[17:07:48] aren't too broken up after the 2v2

[17:07:50] winky phase.

[17:07:52] Let's get it!

[17:07:53] By the way, I have a hammer.

[17:07:55] Can I? I need it actually yeah i don't have a hammer

[17:07:58] yeah you cannot be the chief today

[17:08:05] just firing squad that was so selfless of Kronos to tell us that he had the hammer because he knew exactly

[17:08:12] what happened.

[17:08:14] Thank you, Kronos.

[17:08:16] Alright this is probably the most infamous level everybody does not look forward to in

[17:08:18] Halo. It's just

[17:08:19] in Halo 3 at least, it's just so hard.

[17:08:21] The level that I think from the co-op perspective we enjoy

[17:08:23] the least as well because we really just don't do

[17:08:26] anything.

[17:08:28] And yet it feels difficult.

[17:08:30] Oh, it's so hard! I've never had so much trouble doing absolutely nothing.

[17:08:36] I like the speedrun for this level but I'm also doing stuff so yeah only imagine. For us it's just like

[17:08:45] pull back and pray. Yeah hope Derpy doesn't die hit hit a button.

[17:08:56] And I think we've got time for probably another donation moment.

[17:08:58] Yeah, our train

[17:09:00] is rolling. We're over $22,000 towards this!

[17:09:03] So we are doing wonderfully.

[17:09:06] We have a hundred and four dollars from Zabogo who says

[17:09:09] Gotta get that multiplayer! I'm not sure you've killed each other enough

[17:09:13] yet.

[17:09:15] And we also have $75

[17:09:17] from Wolfenstein saying, supporting

[17:09:19] Brian Otto though, I'll never forgive

[17:09:21] him for killing the MRVNs in Titanfall.

[17:09:25] Thanks so much!

[17:09:26] Just a reminder everyone, when you are sending in your donations

[17:09:29] make sure that you're assigning them to this incentive

[17:09:31] because we want to see this multiplayer showcase by the end of this run, all right?

[17:09:35] Let's hit that $50,000.

[17:09:38] Woo!

[17:09:40] And now will also put us well on the way

[17:09:42] to the 50 mil lifetimes. Yeah, I can't

[17:09:45] believe that number. By putting your donations towards the 2v2 Showcase you're helping both things

[17:09:49] Alright so we are going to split up here

[17:09:53] Nerf is gonna go forward and I am gonna

[17:09:55] just kinda hope and pray that everything goes

[17:09:58] well from the far back

[17:09:59] Nice checkpoint. That was a really good checkpoint

[17:10:01] Kronos and I are just gonna follow Nervy here

[17:10:03] My goal is just to get out of this room as quickly as possible

[17:10:06] preferably with a camo

[17:10:17] where am I?

[17:10:19] God, this level is so stressful.

[17:10:21] Okay, I am in position.

[17:10:23] So we're gonna overlap two of those

[17:10:25] little cutscenes where the game slows down.

[17:10:28] And I'm at a button that's gonna force one to happen, and I'm gonna overlap it with Nervis

[17:10:32] and its gonna save time? I don't really know... Well I just do what I'm told.

[17:10:41] Best of luck, y'all.

[17:10:43] Get ready...

[17:10:45] Go! So this is once again overlapping two Cortana moments

[17:10:47] since you overlapped two Cortana moments.

[17:10:48] Essentially we overlap two Cortana moments when one of them ends, both of them end.

[17:10:53] In this particular instance it's a Gravemind moment and a Cortana moment

[17:10:57] which just get called Cortana Poe.

[17:10:59] Yeah, it's all just Cortana Poe.

[17:11:00] We're both right behind you Nerd Herd.

[17:11:02] I can stay back if we want?

[17:11:03] Yeah, stay back.

[17:11:04] Okay, go Kronos.

[17:11:05] So this is Hell Room.

[17:11:07] This is aptly named.

[17:11:08] I still don't know how to do this room casually

[17:11:10] I only know the two speedrun routes and to be honest

[17:11:12] I'm okay with that

[17:11:14] And let me know when to die

[17:11:16] Will do

[17:11:18] So i'm staying back as a contingency plan here all right I'm through go ahead

[17:11:22] and I guess there be nice nervy good job dude I spawned on you know if we keep

[17:11:29] spawning among each other. That's okay

[17:11:33] And a really cool launch coming up under every screen one of my favorites for sure

[17:11:39] Good job dive right after this too

[17:11:42] Yep probably yeah Could y'all die right after this too? Yeah, probably.

[17:11:46] Cool nice, okay.

[17:11:48] Die you said?

[17:11:50] I think we're good. We got the checkpoint so we're chilling here's my favorite

[17:11:53] launch in the game combining a nade boost with this box well you can get a lot of speed nice dude Nice dude, nice.

[17:12:15] And so for this next segment I brought brought or got a camo way earlier on.

[17:12:19] And i'm gonna drop it right here for NERD for later so its going to allow him to do some...

[17:12:23] Its going to make the exit from this level much safer because we're basically going to backtrack the whole way

[17:12:30] we're good by the way yeah all right just jumping in we are halfway to our incentive

[17:12:35] let's keep going we're doing great work this work! This is the penultimate level so it's time to go.

[17:12:40] We're in the back half of this level and then there's just one more Twitch chat

[17:12:43] I don't know what its gonna take a 1-1-7 train let's get in there

[17:12:49] i was gonna say please let me shoot chronos in the head but that sounds a little morbid

[17:12:53] also i would like you just said it i have to tell you this why

[17:12:58] this the camera that he placed later on

[17:13:00] is much more useful because of him oh

[17:13:02] through this section so 8f i do want to shut out we had someone else reaction. Destroy high charity. So, Adaf,

[17:13:08] I do want to shout out... We had someone answering your call

[17:13:10] actually already. We had $117

[17:13:11] from Nyfog who said,

[17:13:13] I'm doing my part! Love to see the

[17:13:16] vibes. Thanks so much. we love to see it.

[17:13:18] Vibes are good, vibes are good!

[17:13:20] Vibes are good, vibes are good.

[17:13:26] Alright... We're just kind of waiting to spawn in on Nervy here.

[17:13:30] And we're praying for a checkpoint.

[17:13:32] Yeah, yes.

[17:13:33] Please!

[17:13:34] There are so many enemies in all these tight corridors here.

[17:13:38] This looking maybe good? in like all these tight corridors here.

[17:13:40] Looking maybe good?

[17:13:45] I cannot believe we got that checkpoint. We got that at our last practice run too.

[17:13:47] We probably get that checkpoint 10% of the time? If even that,

[17:13:51] yeah.

[17:13:53] To note why that checkpoint's so good,

[17:13:55] if we didn't get it and we all died,

[17:13:57] we'd have to go all the way back to before

[17:13:58] the reactor room. Yeah, it's it and that's happened before actually

[17:14:03] the last time it happened was when i like completely accidentally team killed everybody

[17:14:09] you know i legitimately just shot everybody with a

[17:14:12] brute shot and I didn't try to do it at all

[17:14:14] and I'm not joking, like

[17:14:15] it was... I don't know that I've ever felt worse.

[17:14:18] Nice! Good job, Gary.

[17:14:20] So I'm going back up through the hole that we came down in.

[17:14:22] It's not supposed to so they put a big barricade here but you can just jump over it.

[17:14:25] Oh yeah.

[17:14:26] Can I jump over it?

[17:14:27] I can.

[17:14:28] Oh cool!

[17:14:34] Don't kill me please. I need to enter this gun, nice! Okay so now Bri and Kronos are going to try to find weapons to empty

[17:14:39] because if you have an empty weapon...

[17:14:45] Not having much luck here. This is not good for me.

[17:14:48] I've not found anything yet.

[17:14:50] Anyway, you're probably going to read a couple donations after we head out of here.

[17:14:54] For sure! We have $25 from ZedZed who says

[17:14:57] whoa, wild that they made a game

[17:14:58] commemorating the legendary John Halo

[17:15:01] very well warranted

[17:15:02] good luck to Bryo and crew on the run,

[17:15:05] super excited to see you for a takedown this game

[17:15:07] on The Big Stage

[17:15:08] And let's hit that 2v2 showcase!

[17:15:11] Woo!

[17:15:14] We are at $28,000.

[17:15:18] Almost

[17:15:18] 29,000. So great work

[17:15:20] folks. Let's keep it rolling. Good job.

[17:15:22] Nice Cortana y'all. That was like almost

[17:15:24] a seven flat by the way. Yeah, that was... I feel

[17:15:26] like this one is really good.

[17:15:28] It's pretty solid. I'm not going to have fuel ride

[17:15:30] here. Okay. So

[17:15:32] Kronos, I'll do my best on the

[17:15:34] clear with you. Yeah, we should be good here.

[17:15:37] This is the last mission.

[17:15:39] Last chance!

[17:15:41] Get those donations in, come on gamers.

[17:15:43] We got time for two on the way out here right now.

[17:15:45] For sure, we have $100 from cadgreen55 who says

[17:15:49] donating to try and keep the Brian Otto Happiness Meter

[17:15:52] above critical levels.

[17:15:53] I'm telling you because you don't want to see this.

[17:15:56] You don't wanna see it?

[17:15:57] I will get so toxic! We also have $117 from Shanix who says 117 train arriving

[17:16:04] to the station, let's go and we're almost at 30,000. Come on folks doing so great.

[17:16:11] Wooo! Heck yeah!

[17:16:13] Alright checkpoint?

[17:16:14] Please...

[17:16:17] Good hammer!

[17:16:18] Yeah I'm gonna do my best here.

[17:16:20] 74?

[17:16:21] Not bad.

[17:16:22] Good.

[17:16:23] Did you need to be dead?

[17:16:30] Fun fact, you don't actually need to climb this fire. You can just do fun stuff with a hammer

[17:16:34] and get out of here a lot earlier. I found a fuel rod! Nice good job

[17:16:38] Bye Johnson. Bye, Johnson.

[17:16:41] I got you.

[17:16:43] I got you baby!

[17:16:49] I'm on Cronos protection squad.

[17:16:52] No one kills my man!

[17:16:54] There is a really big wave fight that's gonna come up here.

[17:16:57] Okay, I'm going to die, Kronos?

[17:17:00] One of the longest combat sequences I've ever been in. sequences yeah i know he followed me in

[17:17:03] there's going to be three waves that we have to kill here well where are they

[17:17:09] i guess i never come here soon i never come up here this fast, so.

[17:17:13] They have to like talk about it for a second and then move on.

[17:17:18] It usually takes me way longer.

[17:17:22] But that's the shielded guy.

[17:17:24] Did I see one?

[17:17:28] No, he was right here!

[17:17:32] Nice.

[17:17:34] There's a spider up top, I think the sentinels will get it.

[17:17:38] Yeah there is one more spider you got him?

[17:17:42] I got him. Yeah.

[17:17:47] Nice.

[17:17:54] Do we have time for some updates? Yeah.

[17:17:55] Absolutely.

[17:17:56] Okay, awesome!

[17:17:57] We're almost at $31,000 and we have 125 from Mike and Laura who say...

[17:18:01] Yo what's up?

[17:18:02] 8FN team it is amazing to see this level of FPS gaming on the SGDQ stage.

[17:18:06] We are so proud of these sick strats and even sicker snipes.

[17:18:10] Keep supporting the Master Chief with that master chef, dot, dot, dot.

[17:18:15] Less than three, Dad and Laura. Thank you, Dad. Thank you Dad, thank you Laura.

[17:18:18] Haven't gotten load yet?

[17:18:23] There was a boss blood. Uh, yeah there we go.

[17:18:27] Nice!

[17:18:28] Okay.

[17:18:31] And this is another cool...

[17:18:33] honestly pretty funny little part of the co-op run.

[17:18:36] We are going to...

[17:18:37] So we already killed Johnson,

[17:18:38] and we're gonna kill

[17:18:39] Johnson again.

[17:18:40] And that's gonna allow us

[17:18:42] to duplicate his

[17:18:43] Spartan laser

[17:18:43] that he has,

[17:18:44] which is gonna be helpful

[17:18:45] for the final boss fight here.

[17:18:49] Who's victim and who's foe?

[17:18:53] I think the foe is the guy that purposely

[17:18:55] Yeah, I think the foe is the guy that's really evil

[17:18:57] That's like killing everybody? I think yeah.

[17:18:59] That would be my guess.

[17:18:59] I don't know.

[17:19:00] What do I know?

[17:19:02] I love that he asked

[17:19:03] the question though.

[17:19:04] Are we good?

[17:19:04] Yeah,

[17:19:04] we're good.

[17:19:04] Yeah,

[17:19:05] we're good.

[17:19:05] Sorry.

[17:19:06] Nope.

[17:19:08] All right,

[17:19:08] so yeah,

[17:19:08] now we're going to have

[17:19:09] two Spartan lasers.

[17:19:10] And Nervy's gonna do a super cool trick right here.

[17:19:13] So it turns out the floor extends pretty far out such that you can just land right here

[17:19:22] oh yeah nice job nervy he's gonna get the second johnson

[17:19:26] spartan laser a little early and johnson's going to point the hammer

[17:19:30] up Johnson's going to point the hammer up.

[17:19:37] Ah, too early that's okay. Yeah you're good.

[17:19:41] I missed again! I'm so good at this game! You're good.

[17:19:42] I missed again! I'm so good at this video game, it's unbelievable.

[17:19:48] Purposely delaying the run so we reach the 2v2 incentive is wild.

[17:19:52] I can't believe you're doing that right now.

[17:19:58] I love how I hit the really hard part and then completely

[17:20:01] failed at the easy part. That's always how it goes.

[17:20:04] All right, this is it gamers.

[17:20:06] This is the Warthog run coming up here.

[17:20:08] The home stretch right here.

[17:20:09] So by virtue of the fact that we're playing four player legendary

[17:20:12] there's an achievement you might be familiar with called a vidmaster.

[17:20:16] So there are actually going to be ghosts spawned here that aren't here unless you're playing

[17:20:20] 4-player legendary and Nervy is gonna use that to his advantage.

[17:20:22] So Johnson turned into

[17:20:24] a flood right there.

[17:20:26] Oh, wait, did he actually?

[17:20:27] He is.

[17:20:28] Oh, yeah, there he is.

[17:20:29] Oh, wow.

[17:20:30] Bye, Johnson.

[17:20:31] I'm not...

[17:20:31] I don't know what happened.

[17:20:32] I'm gonna be real.

[17:20:33] I just saw like

[17:20:34] a Marine that I assumed was Johnson and then I saw a Flood.

[17:20:40] So here's the Vidmaster Ghost or put here if you play this on co-op

[17:20:43] and on Legendary and basically just play from the start of the mission, which

[17:20:46] we're doing.

[17:20:49] There was a grunt?

[17:20:51] No, it was one of those

[17:20:52] moas. Yeah, that emu

[17:20:54] looking thing.

[17:20:57] Oh my god. Alright Alright good luck Nerby!

[17:20:59] Thank you, hopefully we get a checkpoint here that'd be nice.

[17:21:01] Oh probably not because I was shooting people.

[17:21:03] That's okay. All bad.

[17:21:07] I'm gonna take this flood with me.

[17:21:09] Do we want to take it slow so that Kronos can get in the back up hog?

[17:21:12] Yeah, yes definitely.

[17:21:15] Gamers, this is truly... you've got but minutes.

[17:21:17] But minutes left.

[17:21:20] We're sitting at 34 thousand right now so...

[17:21:24] That was so winnable!

[17:21:25] Right? Let's keep pushing we only have a few minutes as adef says to hit that fifty thousand

[17:21:29] dollars and let's keep working towards that

[17:21:34] we got it folks let's keep pushing okay so nervy is going to go for more exclusive co-op strats here.

[17:21:42] Because we're in Co-Op there are bonus Warthogs that spawn

[17:21:44] in these little roundabouts and Nervy's gonna try

[17:21:46] to boost off of those to skip some spawns.

[17:21:54] Hopefully I get my Wraith back. try to boost off of those uh to skip some spawns hopefully i get nice panels oh nice

[17:22:01] oh my god that panel yes like a NOOOOO STOP! We're fine, we're fine.

[17:22:03] LET'S GO!

[17:22:07] Okay, we should die?

[17:22:09] We should die. We should die promptly. Woo!

[17:22:11] All right.

[17:22:12] Also, I just want to note none of y'all got my hog and I'm a little offended.

[17:22:17] I should have.

[17:22:18] I should've.

[17:22:20] Yeah.

[17:22:22] We're just so used to not being alive at this point.

[17:22:22] That's true.

[17:22:27] We really do, yeah, we just are supposed to die here pretty much all the time.

[17:22:33] So then there is a second roundabout that Nervy is also going to try to boost up a Warthog on top of.

[17:22:34] And again, these are not free.

[17:22:37] And those Warthogs are co-op exclusive as well.

[17:22:40] So normally you'd have to drive

[17:22:41] all the way around those roundabouts, but co-op is cool.

[17:22:44] Co-op is cool?

[17:22:45] Co-op is cool.

[17:22:46] Audience how we feeling?

[17:22:47] Oh my god!

[17:22:49] There are so many people!

[17:22:51] Oh my god!

[17:22:53] That's a lot of people! That's a lot of people! there are so many people oh my god

[17:22:55] that's the first time i've jumped around in like an hour yeah come on yes Let's go! Yes!

[17:23:08] And we don't have anything... I think we can chill now.

[17:23:09] We don't have anything left to do.

[17:23:11] If we don't move,

[17:23:11] I think we're fine, right, Kronos?

[17:23:13] That's correct.

[17:23:15] Oh no. We're fine right, Travis? Yep. That's good. All right.

[17:23:16] Oh no.

[17:23:18] How you doing?

[17:23:19] I'm doing pretty good.

[17:23:20] You look like a real man.

[17:23:22] Yeah.

[17:23:24] I think we got it.

[17:23:27] I don't know if that was the best thing to do. No. How you doing? I'm doing pretty good.

[17:23:28] Oh, that's a mean panel.

[17:23:31] Alright.

[17:23:33] Looking good so far.

[17:23:35] Those panels are me oh you got metal that's okay we didn't lose too much speed

[17:23:44] i think we're good yeah it looks good second i doubted I don't know y'all, I don't think we like these runners enough hey?

[17:24:20] Well good news if we want more of them we need

[17:24:23] less than fifteen thousand dollars so let's get more of these runners!

[17:24:31] Let's keep pushing folks, time is so short. We are 71% of the way there

[17:24:37] Every single dollar is important. Less than $14,000 to go.

[17:24:41] All right, folks, let's go.

[17:24:43] We are about one minute left in the run, so get ready on time here.

[17:24:48] Yeah.

[17:24:48] This is a very good run for us.

[17:24:50] So it is... Oh, 108. This is a very good run from us.

[17:24:55] Yeah, and that's RTA this is like a 1-0-7 I think which is less than a minute from our PB.

[17:25:09] We're gonna go through some last-minute love just for all of these runners here

[17:25:15] we have ten dollars from rain dean who said let's start a five dollar final donation train

[17:25:19] to get that multiplayer showcase i'll get it started by buying two tickets. Choo-choo!

[17:25:25] Time is coming up soon...

[17:25:29] No panels? No panels?!

[17:25:32] Why would you...? no panels.

[17:25:51] 108.33, oh my gosh! That is a that's a 1-0-7

[17:25:56] in game time, which is less than

[17:25:58] a minute from our PD

[17:26:00] This is our second best run

[17:26:02] ever! Yeah

[17:26:04] Our second best run ever for can we get some uh oh my gosh can we get

[17:26:27] I can go first. Yeah, Halo 3 is a game

[17:26:29] I remember so fondly from my childhood

[17:26:31] just like playing with my friends

[17:26:33] Fat Drone 6 Forever Baby

[17:26:36] and uh...

[17:26:37] I don't know, it just feels...

[17:26:38] You know, I've been very blessed to do quite a few runs on the GDQ stage.

[17:26:43] I know all four of us have been you know, very hashtag-blessed

[17:28:30] He just showed up today

[17:28:31] and I've known him for over 15 years

[17:28:33] and I can't believe he's here watching the run.

[17:28:36] So, I'm really glad you're here. Love you dude!

[17:28:39] And thank you all so much for doing this with me.

[17:28:42] I like...I really appreciate it.

[17:28:44] I've been wanting to do it for so long, and yeah,

[17:28:46] I just...

[17:28:47] I thought I'd lost you, sir.

[17:28:48] I'm so glad it happened.

[17:28:49] You know what I mean?

[17:28:49] So it doesn't look like we're going to reach the thing,

[17:28:52] and that's okay because it's all going to Doctors Without Borders,

[17:28:54] which is such an important cause.

[17:28:56] Yes. Thank you all so much for your generosity,

[17:28:57] and fellas thank you

[17:28:59] so much for doing this.

[17:29:01] Let's keep it going when we get home!

[17:29:05] We're going for a world. That's our goal.

[17:29:07] Our TV is within sniping distance of world record.

[17:29:11] We're there.

[17:29:12] Thank you everybody.

[17:29:13] Seriously, this was so cool.

[17:29:14] Thank you.

[17:29:15] Thank you.

[17:29:19] I think that's it from us.

[17:29:20] Thank you for watching.

[17:29:22] What is this?

[17:29:24] I cannot believe it.

[17:29:26] The clock of Kingdom Hearts

[17:29:27] is never incorrect.

[17:29:29] I sense a disturbance in this timeline,

[17:29:31] a prophecy unfulfilled, an incentive unmet,

[17:29:35] a chance for the villainous scoundrel Brian Otto

[17:29:38] of the Shadow Committee to be destroyed in a 2v2 showcase unmet.

[17:29:43] I, The Prize Wizard said shall not stand for this! So i have come

[17:29:49] to create a temporal disturbance in the schedule and show you some of my magical relics that we might fix this errant timeline,

[17:29:58] And on today of all days too, the 4th

[17:30:01] of July! A day most

[17:30:03] important in Wizard history

[17:30:05] for it is the day we search

[17:30:07] for the proper wielder of the Keyblade

[17:30:09] a magical artifact

[17:30:12] of strength and girth

[17:30:14] that is far too heavy for me!

[17:30:16] That's why I cannot wield

[17:30:18] the Keyblade, only

[17:30:20] The Chosen One may wield the Keyblade.

[17:30:22] Someone strong of heart, stout of mind

[17:30:25] and capable of a $250 cumulative donation

[17:30:29] made by the ancient weapon smith at Heroic Replicas.

[17:30:33] They call him...

[17:30:35] Dave!

[17:30:36] Thank you, Dave

[17:30:37] for your craftsmanship is incredible

[17:30:39] Your magic is unmatched

[17:30:41] and your Keyblade

[17:30:42] Is quite literally too heavy for a wizard.

[17:30:46] That is a Heavy Keyblade!

[17:30:49] But do not despair, for there are many other artifacts in which you can place a donation.

[17:30:54] Trust me, fifty dollars is all that you shall require to get

[17:30:56] into everything for which I speak.

[17:30:58] There are many far more

[17:31:00] beyond the time that I have to tell,

[17:31:02] for my temporal distortion powers are limited.

[17:31:05] But fear not, for I have options!

[17:31:08] Such as this home run world tri-catch 3D painted model.

[17:31:12] It is a tiny figurine

[17:31:14] that perhaps summons a familiar to catch things for you.

[17:31:17] Or, perhaps it just stands upon your table and looks interesting!

[17:31:21] I am not sure.

[17:31:22] I have never bothered to try it.

[17:31:24] I have no intention of trying it but you could try

[17:31:27] it for a five dollar minimum donation but

[17:31:30] it must be done before kingdom hearts and ideally it must be done immediately

[17:31:34] so that we might still see that showcase.

[17:31:37] But there are many more! Fear not! For from six on clothing

[17:31:41] We have got one but two Kingdom Hearts things mugged

[17:31:45] Look at these mugs! we have a Heartless,

[17:31:48] we have Chirithy the least useful character from Kingdom Hearts 3

[17:31:52] You could drink your tears of your enemies from either

[17:31:56] the darkness itself or the least useful character

[17:31:58] from the least useful game.

[17:32:01] Do not be afraid to take both at the same time.

[17:32:05] That is a lot of tears!

[17:32:06] It could be a lot of mugs!

[17:32:09] Ten dollar minimum donation, indeed.

[17:32:11] But wait, there are more.

[17:32:13] There are plenty more

[17:32:15] and we're not done

[17:32:17] and we're not nearly at the, but I feel it getting close.

[17:32:19] I feel the number rising!

[17:32:21] We have pants!

[17:32:22] Look at these pants!

[17:32:23] Not one pair of pants, but two pairs of pants!

[17:32:26] Am I holding the pants upside down?

[17:32:29] Probably! It does not matter,

[17:32:30] for they are a ten dollar donation

[17:32:32] together and represent Riku

[17:32:34] as well as Sora. And our functional

[17:32:36] swim trunks for those of you who

[17:32:38] are not allergic to water. As a wizard, I am allergic

[17:32:41] to water. Cannot enter it at all!

[17:32:43] It's a genetic thing, don't worry about

[17:32:45] it but for you two pairs of swim

[17:32:47] trunks ten dollar minimum donation.

[17:32:49] We have of course course, this magical

[17:32:52] wall clocks into a Spice Glare

[17:32:54] Studios. Behold the

[17:32:56] power of the clock for it can tell time

[17:32:58] or in this case, it cannot

[17:33:00] tell time because there is no battery in the clock.

[17:33:03] The clock is not magical! It runs

[17:33:05] on batteries. That is probably

[17:33:06] better for non-wizards who would like

[17:33:08] to use the clock. A $10 minimum

[17:33:10] donation and the best part of the clock is it can be held in any orientation,

[17:33:15] whether upside right or downside up.

[17:33:18] It does not matter.

[17:33:19] The clock is circular.

[17:33:21] Beware The Clock.

[17:33:22] $10. From the yeti we have

[17:33:25] the most magical pillow of peanut butter the dog

[17:33:29] how could you not want a pillow that is the face of peanut butter the dog for he is adorable and he is dog-like.

[17:33:35] These are very good qualities! Almost as great a quality as wood, my second favorite material next to pillows!

[17:33:43] It goes pillows, and then wood

[17:33:45] and then marshmallow fluff in that

[17:33:47] order specifically. Ten dollar

[17:33:49] minimum donation! Thank you so much

[17:33:51] to the Yeti. But perhaps you have things

[17:33:53] you need to carry! Things like this Kingdom Hearts themed clutch and wallet combo!

[17:33:58] You could put anything in this that will fit in a clutch or a wallet!

[17:34:02] The options are nearly limitless of things exactly this size

[17:34:06] And no larger, for they will not expand. These are

[17:34:08] not bags of holding, they are simply

[17:34:10] bags! Yet, they are excellent

[17:34:12] bags. A $25 minimum donation

[17:34:14] from Seora. Get those donations in, please!

[17:34:18] Get the counting in, please!

[17:34:19] For we need it! How about

[17:34:21] an avatar of the very darkness

[17:34:23] itself from Pincushion Cat Blushies?

[17:34:25] This heartless pl blush is fantastic!

[17:34:28] It's a familia that you could have!

[17:34:30] It is a round of applause

[17:34:31] that we all enjoy, for we will now

[17:34:34] see the 2v2 Halo showcase!

[17:34:36] It is something

[17:34:37] that you shall not miss! The timeline

[17:34:39] has been corrected, the prizes

[17:34:41] have been spoken for!

[17:34:42] This has been my purpose!

[17:34:44] This has been my goal! Yours

[17:34:46] is to head over to gamesdonequick.com slash donate

[17:34:49] Get your donations in for

[17:34:51] an amazing charity and to right

[17:34:53] the wrongs that otherwise would have been done

[17:34:55] here. Do not go anywhere

[17:34:57] for soon we shall see the villainous Brian Otto hoisted by his own batard in Halo 2!

[17:35:03] Stay tuned!

[17:35:09] Oh my goodness everybody we have met our 2v2 multiplayer showcase incentive.

[17:35:16] Great work everybody! I do want to shout out because of this,

[17:35:36] to go over to our 2v2 multiplayer showcase

[17:35:40] so let's get it started!

[17:35:46] RvM the Chief.

[17:35:50] Oh, yeah! Let me switch in a little bit here.

[17:35:55] This is interesting.

[17:35:57] You know what? We'll get the layout

[17:35:59] when it's ready. There it is!

[17:36:01] We're almost there.

[17:36:03] Let's talk about what we are going to do here.

[17:36:06] First of all, I gotta thank everybody.

[17:36:07] We just did that amazing legendary co-op run but

[17:36:12] It's time for teams to separate into two distinct entities.

[17:36:17] Nice job, production team. We love you.

[17:36:20] Thank you everybody. $50,000 in an hour is absolutely wild.

[17:36:23] That's the most I've ever raised in any run I've ever done. $50,000 in an hour is absolutely wild.

[17:36:24] That's the most I've ever raised

[17:36:25] in any run I've ever done.

[17:36:26] Yeah, incredible.

[17:36:27] So thank you so much.

[17:36:28] One more round of applause

[17:36:29] to all the donors please.

[17:36:31] It goes towards a great cause,

[17:36:33] a truly great cause.

[17:36:36] But now,

[17:36:38] Brian Otto and I,

[17:36:40] we are team tight squeeze.

[17:36:41] Tight squeeze?

[17:36:42] Tight squeeze.

[17:36:43] And what's team R being the chief?

[17:36:45] Boo! Boo!

[17:36:50] When it comes to Halo 3, I feel like there's two things.

[17:36:53] You play Campaign, then you get on a custom map with your boys

[17:36:56] And you scream. So we're gonna scream

[17:37:01] Can I talk about the rules?

[17:37:03] We are just doing 2v2 hardcore team slayer

[17:37:05] So that's like VR starts no motion sensor.

[17:37:07] But we are going to play the regular Guardian

[17:37:09] So if you're familiar with MLG rulesets

[17:37:11] This is kind of gonna throw a lot out the window

[17:37:13] There's gonna be all of the various weapons and sandbox on the map

[17:37:15] Because we just think it's a bit more fun

[17:37:17] And also the BRs fun to use instead of

[17:37:18] just the ar yeah anyway uh first to 15. also no screen peeking yeah no screen no screen peaking

[17:37:25] um to me this space this is a liminal it doesn't exist yes

[17:43:06] Truly thank you for hitting this incentive

[17:43:08] we cannot thank you enough. Buddy, 3-8?

[17:43:11] You know what?

[17:43:12] What's funny about 3-8? It's a number.

[17:43:16] I don't know

[17:43:17] what that means. Yeah, me neither.

[17:43:19] I gotta say though, something i'm excited for and

[17:43:21] i bet the crowd is excited for it too is that coming up right after this run as a little

[17:43:25] something i don't know if you know what it is uh but there's a dog or something there's no way

[17:43:29] yeah there's no way a dog could speedrun.

[17:43:31] There is nothing in the rule book though that says a dog can't

[17:43:34] speed run. We're going to have a dog speedrunning. A dog is going

[17:43:37] to speedrun right after this.

[17:43:40] Thank you so much everybody! Thank you for watching.

[17:43:42] That was awesome, keep donating.

[17:43:50] Alright folks can we get another massive round of applause for these four incredible runners? Oh, wasn't that just beautiful?

[17:44:06] So good to see some great co-op work

[17:44:09] Just to turn them on each other

[17:44:11] And battle to the death

[17:44:12] Thanks so much to allU4 for this wonderful

[17:44:15] show.

[17:44:16] If you are just joining us, hey! Welcome

[17:44:18] to Summer Games Done Quick 2024

[17:44:20] powered by Twitch.

[17:44:23] We have been raising money all week for Doctors Without Borders, and we are

[17:44:28] sitting at $867,513 raised for this wonderful

[17:44:35] cause. Y'all have been putting

[17:44:38] in the work!

[17:44:40] Thanks so much to everybody who has been donating over

[17:44:42] the last little while, we

[17:44:43] had an incredible time getting both Bluey Mode and the 2v2 multiplayer showcase.

[17:44:51] Just a reminder that we had a milestone that we have open right now.

[17:44:57] We are working towards $50 million

[17:44:59] raised in

[17:45:01] total. And just

[17:45:03] to explain this a little bit more, when we reach

[17:45:05] $905,245

[17:45:08] and 66 cents

[17:45:10] raised here that will mark a total

[17:45:12] of 50 million dollars

[17:45:14] that Games Done Quick, Frame Fatales

[17:45:16] GDQX and our relief events have raised for charity. Now let me tell you a bit

[17:45:21] about that we are 95% of the way to that awesome milestone with $37,000 remaining. We have been doing such incredible work

[17:45:34] and I want to thank you all for supporting these great causes as we get more games together.

[17:45:43] Now let's have a little bit of a chat, okay?

[17:45:46] As mentioned, we have the incredible Peanut Butter the Dog coming up next.

[17:45:58] And we're going to play ball! I am looking out at the crowd here today,

[17:46:02] here in Minneapolis and uh

[17:46:04] I can't even count how many of

[17:46:06] the incredible Sheba Games done quick

[17:46:09] orange shirts I see from the Yeti out there.

[17:46:12] Can we get like a hand raised? Just if you're wearing one of those orange shirts right now

[17:46:16] I need to see all these hands!

[17:46:20] Oh my gosh! Thank you all for getting those shirts to support both this run and the incredible work that Yeti is doing

[17:46:26] To support our charity as well

[17:46:28] Love to see those, thanks so much folks

[17:46:35] Now I also do want to say that it is a good day here in Minneapolis because the Minnesota Twins won today 12-3 over

[17:46:41] the Detroit Tigers. So, pretty good day here I think, hey folks?

[17:46:50] Now let's check in on a few donations while we continue to get ready for our next run shall we

[17:46:56] We have $50 from Mr. Zack Guy who says there's nothing

[17:47:01] in the rules that says a dog can't help raise a million dollars for msf

[17:47:06] that is so true thank you so much for supporting us We had $25 from the CSOC bear who said,

[17:47:21] The next time I stab my friend in the back,

[17:47:23] I'll be sure to tell them it's a valid speed run strat

[17:47:28] love to see that awesome co-op turned competitive work over there We had $50 come in from Remiget who said,

[17:47:41] When you first saw this Halo speedrun were you blinded by its majesty?

[17:47:45] Paralyzed? D dumbstruck? No. Ah! You must be familiar with HaloRuns.com.

[17:47:53] Thank you so much.

[17:47:55] Now I also do want to talk about another incentive that we have just had open.

[17:47:59] We've put in some really wonderful work towards the incentives that have already been opened,

[17:48:04] but let's talk about one that is open now for a run that is coming up later today following our daily recap.

[17:48:12] So we have an incentive open for the Kingdom Hearts 2

[17:48:16] Final Mix which upgrades the difficulty of the Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix to level 1

[17:48:22] Critical Mode. And we know we like making things challenging for our runners. We

[17:48:27] know we like to give them a really nice boost

[17:48:30] in difficulty, so if we wanna see that happen

[17:48:32] we need to hit $100,000 raised for that one.

[17:48:36] Now let's talk a little bit about the win-win situation

[17:48:39] that we have going on here okay so not only are

[17:48:42] we working towards this incentive we are also working towards that milestone

[17:48:47] which is around that nine hundred and five thousand dollar mark which we are

[17:48:50] well on our way to working towards.

[17:48:51] And you can get both of those at the same time.

[17:48:55] Every dollar has essentially twice the bonus going on because that dollar goes towards

[17:49:00] potentially that Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix critical mode upgrade,

[17:49:03] as well as that 50 million lifetime dollars raised milestone

[17:49:09] that we have open as well.

[17:49:11] And again all of this goes to

[17:49:13] supporting Doctors Without

[17:49:15] Borders. A little bit

[17:49:17] of a rundown again on what all of this money

[17:49:19] is going towards. Doctors

[17:49:21] Without Borders or Médecinsafronter is an independent international organization

[17:49:26] that provides emergency medical care to the people who need it most

[17:49:30] msf cares for people affected by conflict, disease outbreaks, disasters and social exclusion

[17:49:36] in more than 70 countries.

[17:49:38] MSF offers medical humanitarian assistance solely based on need regardless of race, religion or politics msf teams include

[17:49:47] medical logistical and administrative staff most of them hired locally their

[17:49:52] actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of independence

[17:49:56] impartiality and neutrality to learn more please visit doctorswithoutborders.org I always like to talk about these two because it really goes to show that every single dollar is important. Whether you've donated $5, $50,

[17:50:17] $500 it all goes to such a great cause. Again just

[17:50:21] to talk about it five dollars alone can buy four treatments

[17:50:25] cure adult patients from malaria, five rapid

[17:50:28] tests to diagnose HIV infection

[17:50:30] enough vaccine

[17:50:32] to immunize 13 children

[17:50:33] against measles

[17:50:35] we have some love for PB starting in the crowd over here.

[17:50:41] We'd love to see it.

[17:50:44] I also want to talk about a Sora costume choice that we have open for the Kingdom Hearts 2 final mix.

[17:50:51] So currently you can choose between Kingdom Hearts 3, which is currently in the lead or Kingdom Hearts 2 Timeless River.

[17:51:01] So pick one of your choices and we'll see which costume ends up winning all right?

[17:51:04] We have Kingdom Hearts 3 sitting at $35 with Kingdom Hearts 2 Timeless River

[17:51:08] at 10, but that can flip at any point.

[17:51:12] So get those donations in and do not forget to assign them

[17:51:15] to the incentive of your choice

[17:51:17] to make sure that it goes towards some content

[17:51:19] that you would like to see with our runs

[17:51:21] coming up later today

[17:51:26] we've already seen some great movement

[17:51:27] towards that level one critical mode

[17:51:29] right now

[17:51:30] we have 1525 dollars towards that incentive thank

[17:51:34] you so much to everybody who has been supporting that because kingdom hearts

[17:51:38] 2 final mix will be coming up in about four runs or so. So although we still have some time,

[17:51:43] we do not want to lose this wonderful momentum that we have going. So thank you

[17:51:49] so much to everybody who has been supporting us through this time.

[17:51:54] Getting some extra love

[17:51:55] for our previous run, we had

[17:51:57] $25 from Leethon,

[17:51:59] who said, I remember speedrunning Halo

[17:52:01] 3 back in high school, back during the high-speed

[17:52:04] halo days. Seeing this run has made me so excited!

[17:52:08] Thank you to everyone and thank you for watching

[17:52:11] and supporting it is so great to see how much this game has had a wonderful

[17:52:15] impact on potentially yourself as well. For example, we have $50 from Marcus who said

[17:52:21] that Halo run was legendary. Great job team!

[17:52:27] We had also had $1,000 from Paul W who simply says

[17:52:31] Go Team! team.

[17:52:42] Finishing up our train that we had going earlier,

[17:52:45] We also had $11.70

[17:52:47] from Conduit who said

[17:52:48] this co-op Halo 3 run

[17:52:50] has been riveting and hilarious.

[17:52:53] Finish that fight so we can

[17:52:54] see that multiplayer showcase. And

[17:52:57] indeed, we did say it. I want

[17:52:59] to point out that just in those

[17:53:01] two Halo 3 incentives alone

[17:53:03] we raised

[17:53:05] over $57,000 for charity.

[17:53:10] That was just in the Halo 3 incentives!

[17:53:16] Amazing work everybody I am so, so, so personally appreciative to see how much love is coming in both for the runners and the games as well. well so We also had $50 come in from La and Rao who said donating for the uber good boy about to totally win a major league game

[17:56:09] some additional ground rules because

[17:56:11] we have someone's pet here on stage

[17:56:13] humor me for a little bit, got somethings

[17:56:15] to go over. First things first

[17:56:17] in support of PB we're gonna make sure that no one attempts to distract PB during the run.

[17:56:24] Understand? If anyone is sitting here whistling trying to get treats, trying to wave a stick, whatever. We will ask you

[17:56:31] leave the room for the safety of PB and make sure that he has the most successful

[17:56:36] attempt possible. Make sense? Cool! For the most part, sit back

[17:56:41] relax and enjoy the show. This is not

[17:56:43] dead quiet serious this is not like

[17:56:45] we want you to be super quiet serious

[17:56:47] time but just sit back and enjoy

[17:56:49] the show however if JSR or Spike tells you

[17:56:53] Hey! Get loud, get excited, cheer

[17:56:55] You should do...

[17:57:00] Alright, you're already ready to go.

[17:57:03] Two more things. One, when we go lock the PB on that

[17:57:06] screen behind me or those two on each side of the room

[17:57:09] We will be closing those doors

[17:57:11] When we close those

[17:57:13] doors that means you cannot come back in if you were to leave

[17:57:17] This again is to minimize distractions and make sure PB has nothing to distract him as

[17:57:21] he's doing his run. Make sense? Cool, last one! This one is serious so I do need everyone's attention

[17:57:28] App Hunt

[17:57:32] We're still here for Doctors Without Borders, raising a ton of money for charity.

[17:57:35] We are here to watch a dog speedrun video game!

[17:57:37] If that's not exciting, we won't have enough fun.

[17:57:40] So sit, relax, and we'll be live shortly so so so so so All right, everybody.

[17:58:54] If you are just joining us, hey, welcome here.

[17:58:56] This is Summer Games Done Quick 2024 powered by twitch we have been raising money all week for

[17:59:04] doctors without borders and we are sitting at 871,000 already raised for this great cause.

[17:59:14] We are still getting ready for our next run

[17:59:17] and while we do so let's check out

[18:01:53] I have to say, personal note as well, I am also so excited that they are back!

[18:01:56] I had the absolute honor

[18:01:58] of getting to host for PB's Run while we were both remote at agdq

[18:02:03] and now we get to both be here in person at sgdq so it is so wonderful to know that they

[18:02:09] are back to showcase some of their incredible

[18:02:12] work that they've been working on over the last few

[18:02:14] months.

[18:02:18] We have $25

[18:02:20] from My Hero Zero who says,

[18:02:22] A dog playing baseball? Call that Kennell Ruff E. Jr. Baseball!

[18:02:31] We also have $25 from Don who says, Ken Griffey was really good at baseball. But was he better than peanut butter? My money says no. Thanks so much, Don. We appreciate that

[18:02:44] optimism.

[18:02:48] Also checking in on our incentive we have open

[18:02:50] that we were mentioning,

[18:02:52] we have Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix upgrade to level 1 Critical Mode incentive open.

[18:02:55] It is currently sitting at $4,151

[18:02:58] Just jumped up to 4651

[18:03:01] And we are looking to hit that $100,000 mark.

[18:03:06] Now don't worry, we still have a few games in the middle there

[18:03:09] but time is short so we want to make sure

[18:03:11] that we are fully ready to get that upgrade

[18:03:14] We love making things more challenging are fully ready to get that upgrade.

[18:03:15] We love making things more challenging

[18:03:17] and slightly difficult for our runners, right?

[18:03:19] So there we go.

[18:03:23] I also want to mention that again

[18:03:24] previously we had discussed that we are working towards

[18:03:26] that $50 million lifetime raise for charity.

[18:03:30] And we are currently around $31,000 remaining. We have been doing some great,

[18:03:38] great work so not only can we work towards this wonderful milestone

[18:03:43] This incredibly huge milestone, we can also work towards getting that level one critical mode

[18:03:49] upgrade at the exact same time and all of it goes to benefit Doctors Without Borders yet again

[18:14:39] runner but you guys aren't here for me you're here for this guy this is a four-year-old shiba inu

[18:14:44] his name is peanut butter and he was here at agd well in pittsburgh

[18:14:49] at a gdq but that time he did a remote run

[18:14:51] but as you can see tonight we're a little bit different tonight

[18:14:54] we got a full house says gdq make some noise noise! PB's a good boy.

[18:15:02] So he is ready to rock,

[18:15:04] we've got some wonderful folks

[18:15:06] helping out with commentary and as well

[18:15:08] I want to give a big shout out to Spike.

[18:15:09] Vegito is going to not only be PB's number one fan, however

[18:15:13] if we need a little bit of concentration, if he's getting

[18:15:15] a little bit riled up just pay attention to Spike

[18:15:18] who's kind of going to help us guide the crowd,

[18:15:21] but if he is making noise let's make some noise for this dog

[18:15:23] because he is trained to handle it.

[18:15:27] So real quick I want to introduce my couch starting from your left.

[18:15:33] Hello folks! My name is Threach and I am so excited to be back here on commentary again for the second run that PB&JSR have done together. So thank you so much

[18:15:43] for having me. Alright, and my

[18:15:45] name is... Now would be a great time for donations

[18:15:47] so I hope that doesn't get too confusing

[18:15:49] I'm joking, I'm joking. My name is Grant Yadis

[18:15:51] I'm really happy to be here in Minneapolis and looking forward

[18:15:54] to a great day of baseball with the best boy.

[18:15:57] What about you? Oh, you're asking about... Don't worry about that guy. He's just...

[18:16:01] Don't worry about him. He's okay.

[18:16:02] And then, of course, i do want to shout out because

[18:16:04] there was a lot of work done to make this controller this is a new controller it's

[18:16:07] a little bit different than the one we use at agdq and uh big shout out to one of my best friends in

[18:16:11] the world who helped me design this controller, build it

[18:16:13] test it and he's not only that but he's the co-trainer of Peanut Butter. Can I

[18:16:18] get some noise for Crispy?

[18:16:22] Peanut Butter you're the only one to haven't talked to yet, do you know why?

[18:16:26] Because I have a kibble for you.

[18:16:28] Are you ready?

[18:16:29] So folks time is going to be when he presses the button so get

[18:16:31] ready on that peanut butter.

[18:16:33] Can you watch me?

[18:16:34] Oh, you see something over there! Are you ready?

[18:16:36] What?

[18:16:38] Uh oh! What?!

[18:16:40] What is that?

[18:16:42] Are you ready? Do you want to hit the button?

[18:16:44] Button! Good boy! Good boy! button button good boy okay so we are off here with the run and one quick thing to notice

[18:16:54] is that peanut butter will be pitching in the top of the inning

[18:16:57] and then Peanutbutter will be batting

[18:16:59] in the bottom. So we have a home field

[18:17:01] advantage, we're hoping that Peanutbutter

[18:17:03] is going to have a great game

[18:17:05] One quick thing, the AI can be a little bit unforgiving or it can be

[18:17:10] really good in our favor so we're really hoping that peanut butter gets

[18:17:14] the right side of the coin for them oh there you, there you go! Good boy! Alright.

[18:17:18] We know the AI can be... it could be good if it works in our favor

[18:17:22] not so good if it doesn't and Grunt, you are one of several mods for this game is that right?

[18:17:26] Uh, if several is Spanish for one then yes

[18:17:29] I am definitely the mod for

[18:17:31] this game but yeah it's

[18:17:33] a lot of fun. It's just a game I grew up with

[18:17:35] had a lot of fun and

[18:17:37] Good dog! Here we are with the most amazing story oh good job pb good boy all right

[18:17:47] good dog that's a good hit for us it should be

[18:17:49] a double...

[18:17:49] We'll take the lead run! We got the lead runner that's good.

[18:17:51] Okay just one see this is...

[18:17:54] That's the AI we were talking about folks. It could have been but it wasn't.

[18:17:59] Good boy.

[18:18:01] There's a good boy. Sit.

[18:18:03] There you go! Good job!

[18:18:05] Alright, let's do it.

[18:18:07] Good boy!

[18:18:09] Oh, good boy, you're doing great, Pee-Pee. Good job!

[18:18:12] You're okay buddy. Ready button?

[18:18:16] There we go, so we are entering the bottom of the inning. Peanut butter at the back

[18:18:20] Watch me, P! PB! Hey!

[18:18:22] It's okay, ready?

[18:18:24] Don't worry folks this is RNG manipulation

[18:18:26] by Peanut Butter

[18:18:28] just wearing out the pictures there

[18:18:30] we're doing fine. Watch me.

[18:18:33] It's okay here.

[18:18:35] You're a good boy.

[18:18:37] Ready? Watch me. That's a real reward.

[18:18:39] Oh, we're early now. Okay.

[18:18:42] We're just wearing out the pitcher's arm. It's fine.

[18:18:44] Yeah?

[18:18:46] There's a good boy!

[18:18:48] That's a hit!

[18:18:50] Come on!

[18:18:52] Good boy.

[18:18:53] Either way, Peanut Butter gets treats so that's all that matters.

[18:18:57] Here is my guy Bobz and Dougnut.

[18:18:59] Let's go.

[18:19:01] And...button.

[18:19:03] I haven't seen all the donation names

[18:21:08] just pretty much there's like four body types

[18:21:10] so you could see If we see a a home run right now it is going to be

[18:25:21] though buddy you did so good excellent well while we've watched

[18:25:27] all this this is a great time to actually hear a little bit about the controller itself and everything from JSR.

[18:25:33] Hi! It's good to see you guys.

[18:25:36] Joining me from the dugout, I see.

[18:25:39] Yeah, we have Goodboy in the game right now.

[18:25:41] He's still throwing gas.

[18:25:43] He made one bad pitch but a good boy doesn't make a bad pitch, let's be honest.

[18:25:48] So we're still looking good yeah so jason you want to tell us a little bit

[18:25:53] about this controller that's just fantastic looking right now hold that thought for one second.

[18:26:07] BB on site checking out what's going on.

[18:26:08] Scoot up, scoot up, scoot up.

[18:26:09] All right, you guys.

[18:26:09] I'm coming over here!

[18:26:12] Alright, the cozy couch.

[18:26:18] Now JsR this is a different controller from the one you had playing Gyromite with PB.

[18:26:20] Oh come on turn it let's go

[18:26:27] yes this is so the original controller we built out of a gamecube fight stick and it was good

[18:26:33] but it really limited what we could try and is a rebuilding controller out of plywood that allows us to have some

[18:26:35] Oh, we had a scratch! Was that a time loss?

[18:26:37] We gotta keep an eye on

[18:26:39] belly itches. A scratch? We want

[18:26:41] a pitcher not a belly itcher yeah

[18:26:46] so um we wanted to make a controller that gave us options to look at different types

[18:26:51] of games and we're hoping that next year maybe

[18:26:54] we can start looking at a little bit more, you know, unconventional stuff.

[18:26:58] Like maybe perhaps something like Silent Hill 2

[18:27:02] Doggo percent, you know? Something like that. Who knows?

[18:27:06] And

[18:27:06] as difficult as that might be

[18:27:09] he has shown me time and again

[18:27:11] that as long as we work hard together

[18:27:13] he will always

[18:27:13] try his best for me and

[18:27:16] he does. He's such a special dog, and I'm so proud of him.

[18:27:20] Yeah, he is doing so fantastic here.

[18:27:22] He really is this dog has more patience

[18:27:24] and concentration than any dog I think

[18:27:25] I've ever seen.

[18:27:28] Look at him doing great, even with Chris he works so well.

[18:27:32] That's okay.

[18:27:34] So one time can I get a hand for Chris?

[18:27:35] I wanted to give him an inning because of how much work you put in All right. So one time, can I get a hand for Chris?

[18:27:36] I wanted to give him an inning because of how much work you put in helping me out.

[18:27:39] Thank you so much, man.

[18:27:40] Bibi, there's something in your bag.

[18:27:42] Good boy.

[18:27:44] Good dog!

[18:37:49] Here we go. Watch me.

[18:37:51] Oh my gosh. What a tight game.

[18:37:54] This is kind of what you want to see if you're at the ballgame but we all want to see Peanut Butter just actually take this home.

[18:38:01] We are out of the inning.

[18:38:02] I need some cheese.

[18:38:03] One step closer.

[18:38:04] We got to get some runner teams.

[18:38:05] Ready? Button! Sit! one step closer we gotta get some ready button sit oh boy here we go watch me still laser focus

[18:38:11] we are doing good and but hobson dug not at the bat doing something thank you again everybody for the incentive donations. Oh, that's a pass.

[18:38:27] Ready? Here we go. Watch me.

[18:38:29] Good boy!

[18:38:30] And...butt!

[18:38:32] That's it. Throw us fastball!

[18:38:34] Alright.

[18:38:35] Ready?

[18:38:36] And...butt!

[18:38:38] That's it. Oh! ready and

[18:38:49] sorry we've seen it before we only need just one good contact. Just get a couple more rallies on the race.

[18:38:51] It's rally time right now.

[18:38:53] That's it, good boy, it's okay.

[18:38:55] Here we go!

[18:38:56] Doing good, set that up.

[18:38:57] Watch me.

[18:38:58] There's the base. Fight it! Sit, sit there. doing good to do is just hold the opposing team,

[18:39:11] but you don't want to see any runs at the top

[18:39:14] so we are going to need some good positive energy

[18:39:17] no pun intended from the crowd right now.

[18:39:20] So let's hear a little bit of chant everybody.

[18:39:23] Let's get behind the best boy.

[18:39:25] One, two, three, four.

[18:39:29] One, two, three, four. There we go, one down.

[18:39:38] We just need one more out.

[18:39:41] Uh oh, that's a base hit!

[18:39:49] Yeah this is alright our right here.

[18:39:52] That's okay. It's okay.

[18:39:54] They're getting the rally going but we have two outs so we are okay.

[18:39:57] We just need one out and we are out of this inning

[18:40:00] and ready to take it home. Here we go.

[18:40:18] We are at the end of the lineup, it's not statistically our best batters

[18:40:22] but that is going to make it even more exciting when we get the walk-off.

[18:40:25] There you go!

[18:40:27] Should we bunt?

[18:40:31] That could be a good idea right now.

[18:40:38] Sit. right now. I don't know what that was

[18:40:40] That was scared of PB

[18:40:42] is what the h*** was

[18:40:46] That's not good, Yes you can! Come here! We'll snap

[18:40:48] the bunt for now!

[18:40:50] Just mind games where we're getting in

[18:40:52] the head of the opponent.

[18:40:54] See? They are already changing picture once again yeah

[18:40:58] they're scared all right look at him you ready want some cheese watch me oh he throws gas they know they're up against the best boy

[18:41:14] Oh good here we go all right watch there. Watch me. Chip cheese.

[18:41:18] Best thing is though

[18:41:19] is that if we don't get a run here

[18:41:21] there's still extra innings.

[18:41:22] There's more time with peanut butter

[18:41:24] so I'm not sure what I want to root for right now

[18:41:27] but now now we I want to root for right now. But now,

[18:41:29] Now we are in a

[18:41:31] This is the real competition

[18:41:33] This is where we see

[18:41:35] Oh and that's a big boy coming up the bat too

[18:42:29] not with the top of our lineup.

[18:42:30] We're going to swing away.

[18:42:31] We are ready to just walk off home run is what we're hoping for

[18:42:39] here's the bad news it's all right the good news we have one more chance though it's only two outs and we still have a good hitter

[18:42:48] okay go boy ready get ready to go crazy because we're totally gonna win

[18:43:06] we're still in need one all we need doing great

[18:43:11] that's okay we're gonna go a little earlier.

[18:43:18] A little earlier than that! That's about as early as I can go, buddy.

[18:43:21] See, I think PB is just stalling for more cheese. I think that's the real strats that are going on here.

[18:43:24] The longer this game goes

[18:43:25] on, the more dreams we have.

[18:43:27] Can we get some water for

[18:43:28] the good boy?

[18:43:29] Oh, I just want to

[18:43:31] quickly shout out,

[18:43:32] we are under $10,000

[18:43:34] to our five million

[18:44:01] didn't think JSR could bring more joy and happiness to the retro community.

[18:57:02] There's $25 here from LOZcardsfan23 that said congratulations PB and JSR

[18:57:08] on an amazing win. I was on the edge

[18:57:10] of my seat the entire time

[18:57:12] and the walk-off home run by Ken Griffey

[18:57:14] Jr., perfect way to finish

[18:57:16] the game off. I am so proud of you both.

[18:57:18] Hey ESPN, I fully expect this to be on SportsCenter's Top 10 tonight!

[18:57:25] We had $100 here from Drew Fitz that said,

[18:57:28] For the goodest boy.

[18:57:33] $250 here from Waffles that said,

[18:57:36] Thank you PBJSR and Chad.

[18:57:38] Thank you Chad. JSR and Chad.

[18:57:38] Thank you Chad.

[18:57:40] Hi we are $4500 away

[18:57:42] We're under 5000 now

[18:57:44] And amazing timing

[18:57:46] Because the next run is ready

[18:57:48] At AGDQ earlier this year, we had an incredibly close bid war

[18:57:51] for Mitch to either run Sekiro or Elden Ring

[18:57:54] I fought really hard for Sekiro

[18:57:56] because I know it's his favorite From game

[18:57:59] and I'm so happy that you're all getting the chance to see it now.

[18:58:03] This is Sekiro Hitless Any% being run by Mitrez.

[18:58:08] Take it away, my friend.

[18:58:16] Alright! Hello everyone! My name is Mitriz

[18:58:18] here running Sekiro like you

[18:58:20] probably have never seen it on a GDQ stage before.

[18:58:23] Here with me are my co-commentators.

[18:58:26] Hi, my name is Aggie.

[18:58:28] I'm also a Sekiro speedrunner or at least was once upon a time.

[18:58:33] Hi everyone I am Parky and I also AM slash WAS

[18:58:37] a Sekiro Speedrunner! Yeah you know we've all been playing a lot of the

[18:58:41] Elden Ring DLC.

[18:58:43] You know, there's that.

[18:58:45] So today we're going to do Sekiro but it's going to be hitless

[18:58:49] so we are trying not to take a single hit during the entire game. Now this game, if you haven't heard of it before

[18:58:54] It's very difficult and so is not getting hit

[18:58:58] There are no guarantees that we'll get it here

[18:59:00] but we will explain a little bit more about what goes on with Hitless

[18:59:03] as we get into it.

[18:59:04] So let's just go ahead and get this started up in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

[18:59:14] Let's go!

[18:59:20] Alright so the very start of this run is just a little stealth section

[18:59:24] So there shouldn't really be any danger of us getting hit here at the very start.

[18:59:31] But we are going to do just a bit of speed tech, a little bit of jumping and uh wall kicks and various things like that to go

[18:59:39] a little bit faster but nothing too dangerous in this first section as long as i take the right

[18:59:44] path that one looks dangerous that would have been real awkward i promise

[18:59:48] that's consistent i promise it is um we're also not gonna go too stealthy because uh these guys

[18:59:53] are not the best shots and if you just kind of take this little path behind them, they just miss. So

[18:59:58] we're good.

[19:00:01] Alright.

[19:00:02] To explain a little bit about what Hitless

[19:00:04] is going to be,

[19:00:06] a hit is defined as any enemy causing us damage or stagger.

[19:00:12] So this basically comes out to meaning it's okay if we deflect enemies, which is the kind of perfect guard.

[19:00:20] You have to get within a small window but it's not okay if we block enemies

[19:00:24] and it's not okay if the enemy actually hit us and take our health away.

[19:00:28] So this game is basically just

[19:00:30] mostly going to focus on that deflecting,

[19:00:32] sometimes dodging in a few specific

[19:00:34] scenarios where we need to not take

[19:00:36] damage and otherwise

[19:00:38] running through, stealthing through whatever we need to do

[19:00:41] to get through this. This is a speedrun as well

[19:00:43] not

[19:00:45] a smooth run per se

[19:00:47] but it's going to be rough around the

[19:00:49] edges, it's going to have some around the edges, it's gonna have some scary moments

[19:00:52] because this game is very scary to run but hopefully we'll make it through.

[19:00:57] So as we get up to the first boss fight I'm going to let my commentators talk through it because

[19:01:02] I really need to concentrate.

[19:01:04] He's a tough one cause we don't have all the skills that you would normally

[19:01:07] have throughout the game so some of his attacks...

[19:01:11] They can be really scary so I'll let them take it away as I go here.

[19:01:14] Yeah, speaking of scary moments...

[19:01:16] So this is the tutorial fight that you were meant to lose.

[19:01:18] Normally in the speedrun you just immediately take a hit and move on with the game.

[19:01:23] We are under 3,000 boys!

[19:01:26] This is a classic case of win-the-fight-lose-a-cutscene

[19:01:29] so we gotta win the fight first.

[19:01:32] So as you see like the general combat flow is

[19:01:33] You're just going to mash basic attacks at your enemy

[19:01:36] Until you hear the different sound effects

[19:01:39] Where they stop blocking and deflect

[19:01:42] Once you hear that second sound there,

[19:01:45] that means they're going to counterattack you and you're gonna have to be ready to react

[19:01:49] whatever their move is. Very clean fight though so far

[19:01:53] Wow bitch. Nice!

[19:01:58] Not over yet.

[19:02:00] Yeah, so you can see in the top left how many health bars

[19:02:01] you gotta get through, so that's just one.

[19:02:04] Those red attacks are um either thrust sweeps or grabs

[19:02:09] uh you sweep you need to jump over the thrust you would normally makiri but we

[19:02:13] don't have that skill yet so he just has to

[19:02:15] we never raised 50 million total!

[19:02:21] That was fast.

[19:02:23] That's awesome. Someone just sniped

[19:02:25] that. And in out, Nick wins!

[19:02:33] Wow 50 million... oh my gosh

[19:02:35] They were like hey can you cut in with every thousand?

[19:02:37] and then somebody was like what if I just donated

[19:02:38] 2500.

[19:02:40] That is awesome

[19:02:42] and yeah we are through with the

[19:02:44] tutorial boss which

[19:02:46] If you've played the game normally

[19:02:48] You probably lost to because that's the intended

[19:02:51] thing to do but yeah here we are just

[19:02:54] making it through. On our way to The Ogre there is a little bit of time

[19:02:57] of walking so So, uh...

[19:02:59] Zenitir, if you want to get in with some donations

[19:03:02] or some hype about the 50 million,

[19:03:04] let us know what's going on!

[19:03:06] Oh boy. Well hey, audience

[19:03:08] can I get a huge round of applause for 50 million total raised?

[19:03:14] Claps in chat any emote any hype you've got that is incredible.

[19:03:19] We have raised 905 000 currently in this event alone and

[19:03:24] we are not done yet there is more to come

[19:03:27] more runs just like our current sekiro one this is an incredible run that you

[19:03:30] do not want to miss, but keep

[19:03:32] donating because there's also more GDQ

[19:03:34] to come. We have a bit... Sorry, we have an

[19:03:36] incentive open right now to upgrade

[19:03:38] to level 1 critical mode for the Kingdom Hearts

[19:03:40] 2 final mix run. But that is a big incentive but we are

[19:03:43] we aren't going to need your help and i know we can do it we need 70 743 dollars more but with

[19:03:50] all of your help we can absolutely make it happen.

[19:03:52] Like there's $100 here from Ajax that said 50 million hype!

[19:03:56] I can't believe I'm here to see it, amazing work, thank you everyone!

[19:04:02] Alright and Mitch here up against the first required mini-boss,

[19:04:05] The Chained Ogre.

[19:04:07] This guy basically just goes for a bunch of grabs so it's going to be

[19:04:09] almost entirely dodging not really any deflecting

[19:04:12] And you kind of want to just circle straight around him

[19:04:14] to his butt, and yeah! Nice and easy.

[19:04:20] You know what I was going to say earlier? I actually really like that Mitch fights Genichiro at the start there

[19:04:26] because we'll see later what the fight looks like.

[19:04:29] It's cool that he gets to show off a bit of that fight.

[19:04:32] Yeah so if you're wondering later and you say

[19:04:34] oh he doesn't even know how to fight this guy.

[19:04:36] I proved it in the start!

[19:04:38] I proved it in the starts.

[19:04:39] That's a very good point.

[19:04:40] There is some speedrun skips that you could do

[19:04:44] in this section but it's a little too scary for Hitless.

[19:04:47] In Hitless, we do

[19:04:48] count falling into a void as

[19:04:50] a hit, so

[19:04:51] this canyon is very scary, very easy to fall

[19:04:54] if you try to go for the skip, so I'm going to do this

[19:04:57] slow intended way.

[19:04:59] So we're just gonna shimmy along here

[19:05:01] We have a little bit of speed strut

[19:05:03] If you tap the button instead of holding it

[19:05:05] you shimmy a little faster.

[19:05:08] It looks like he's really nervous about this.

[19:05:12] He's matching my vibes after having to follow

[19:05:14] a dog up on a speedrun, like...

[19:05:17] It's a tough back to follow yeah we are coming up on probably the most random

[19:05:24] boss of the run very possible to get hit on this one, Gyo-bu.

[19:05:30] He's not that hard of a boss to defeat normally but he runs around and makes our life very miserable for speedruns in Hit List, so hopefully I can get him here.

[19:05:42] And again, I'll let my commentators take it away.

[19:05:46] Yeah, the tricky thing about Gyoubu is he's on a horse, which means

[19:05:50] He's a lot bigger than you and his body sometimes has

[19:05:54] A hitbox depending on the attack he's doing. And it can kind of dead angle you

[19:05:58] Which basically means even if Niche tried to deflect it at the right timing

[19:06:01] It's just gonna hit you in a weird angle and he is going to get hit or blocked

[19:06:07] Oh! There's the block right there

[19:06:10] Yeah that was a toughie.

[19:06:12] That is okay. We'll keep going for damage-less here.

[19:06:28] First base... And this is definitely one of the harder fights in the Hit List run. Yeah, and every speedrun and everything, Giebel was always the worst boss for everyone.

[19:06:34] Yeah he's shockingly complex if you're trying to optimize him.

[19:06:44] Nice... Nice.

[19:06:58] The music! It's so good! I think we should have him here. Very clean.

[19:07:00] That looked really good, honestly if we didn't say that you got hit there probably no one would have thought.

[19:07:09] No but yeah so the blocks do count as a hit but not as damage. So we will keep going for that damage list.

[19:07:18] You know, not to put out any excuses there

[19:07:20] but it was very strange timing

[19:07:23] that attack hit me because

[19:07:25] as he was kind of running by me, it moved where

[19:07:28] it was going to hit and got to me just a little later than I was expecting.

[19:07:31] But that's alright!

[19:07:33] The actual scariest one is the next one coming up, the Blazing Bull because

[19:07:37] the deflection strategy that I'm using for most of these

[19:07:39] bosses... you can't do that on bull

[19:07:41] because it causes fire damage

[19:07:43] even if you get a perfect deflect.

[19:07:45] So we're gonna have to try to dodge him the whole time, and

[19:07:48] the dodge in this game...

[19:07:49] It's got not as many iframes as

[19:07:51] the Dark Souls dodge, so it's

[19:07:53] a tough one. Pretty precise.

[19:07:56] Yeah, this fight is the only one that I would say

[19:07:58] is like significantly different for HitList

[19:08:00] because you just can't play

[19:08:02] the game normally

[19:08:04] Fun mechanics! For early

[19:08:06] games. Definitely a bummer I know a lot of people quit on for early game.

[19:08:11] I know a lot of people quit on the Bowl, I guess for that reason so...

[19:08:13] We do have time for maybe one donation

[19:08:15] as we run up to them?

[19:08:17] I've got really big ones here that our amazing donations volunteers sent my way.

[19:08:22] This was a $3,000 donation from Tetra Cube that pushed us over the 50 million. They said, long time you were here.

[19:08:33] I can't believe after all these years we've raised $50!

[19:08:35] Wow.

[19:08:37] Thank you so much for your generosity on that, and team let's keep going.

[19:08:41] Another quick shout out here, for this event we have just passed 16 thousand total donations

[19:08:45] That's incredible! Let's keep it up y'all

[19:08:57] all right so here we are approaching the bull this this stride definitely is a little bit hard to follow it's pretty chaotic yeah so we're gonna

[19:09:00] knock this guy out first and then we're going to knock this guy out first

[19:09:02] and then we're gonna run up

[19:09:03] and pop his Aqua Sugar which is an attack damage buff

[19:09:06] And he's just going to guide the bull through those two guys

[19:09:09] So that they can get taken care of

[19:09:11] Some very cheeky dodges here right off the bat!

[19:09:13] Makes me so stressed out watching him dodge those.

[19:09:16] Yeah, so basically he's gonna go for a bunch

[19:09:17] of charge attacks on the bulls head

[19:09:20] and every once in awhile he'll stagger

[19:09:21] to be able to get a few more hits in.

[19:09:24] It's a very erratic boss, as you

[19:09:26] may imagine. So usually on speedruns

[19:09:28] you want to kill with the posture

[19:09:30] bar being full but on this guy

[19:09:32] you can't really do that super efficiently.

[19:09:33] So Mitch is going to kill him with the health bar damage there.

[19:09:40] Yay!

[19:09:42] That was like perfect.

[19:09:44] Yeah luckily There we go. Yay! That was perfect. Great pull. That looked awesome.

[19:09:46] Yeah, luckily it stopped him from running away too many times.

[19:09:49] He tried to run a couple of times but he got that stagger and got him right back into that nice loop.

[19:09:53] Nice.

[19:09:56] And then we're going pretty much straight into the next boss, uh

[19:09:58] The second time that we are facing Genichiro

[19:10:00] But to get there we've got to do

[19:10:02] a little sneaking

[19:10:04] kind of? Uh Basically we're going to

[19:10:06] get some enemies to see us but not

[19:10:08] fully aggro onto us so that they

[19:10:10] kinda move out of the way and

[19:10:12] we can pass by them. There's one enemy

[19:10:14] that is gonna see me and start throwing things at me,

[19:10:16] but he shouldn't be able to hit me before I can get to a safe spot.

[19:10:20] So...

[19:10:21] I'll wait for him to see me a little,

[19:10:23] then go!

[19:10:35] Fuck here! And here comes Wuoga who guy very nice and then right into a little

[19:10:36] platforming simple frontside Dojo here, so I assume we're waiting for the aggro?

[19:10:41] Waiting for the shuriken throw.

[19:10:43] Beautiful!

[19:10:44] My favorite skip of the game right there.

[19:10:49] Might. And here you've got Gnitro's... my favorite skip of the game right there

[19:10:52] and here we've got ganitra again it's gonna go a little bit differently this time though so now we're going to guide him to this

[19:10:55] corner jump over his first two slashes there

[19:10:57] and uh remember that dan angle thing I mentioned? Yeah, we're gonna

[19:11:00] do it to him now.

[19:11:02] So yeah, we're attacking

[19:11:04] towards the wall so he doesn't think

[19:11:06] to block it. Normally if you just try to attack

[19:11:08] towards an enemy they would block it

[19:11:09] but yeah, its technically not aimed at him so

[19:11:13] he doesn't need to do that and then he gets hit and he gets staggered and you kinda lose him

[19:11:16] So this is the same guy Mitch fought at the beginning of the game.

[19:11:22] And he definitely makes a little fool out of him here so...

[19:11:27] Poor Denny!

[19:11:30] Disrespected. Nice! Forged any. Yeah, forged any.

[19:11:32] Disrespectful.

[19:11:34] Nice! Alright we're into a really cool phase three here.

[19:11:38] So normally on this phase 3 he does this lightning strike thing

[19:11:42] where you do a

[19:11:42] lightning reversal

[19:11:43] but you do take

[19:11:44] damage on that

[19:11:44] so Mitch will just

[19:11:46] be fighting him

[19:11:46] the same way

[19:11:47] that he usually

[19:11:47] fights commuter

[19:11:48] but he will be

[19:11:48] avoiding this

[19:11:49] lightning there

[19:11:50] yeah

[19:11:50] so normally

[19:11:52] the lightning would be your

[19:11:53] best punish opportunity because you kind of catch it and throw back at him but he

[19:11:55] gets like super stunned and damaged but no

[19:11:59] can do here oh a great deflection so normally you want to dodge the side there but the wall

[19:12:07] they're obviously um that's a tough spot that real that's just unfortunate spacing there because of the wall.

[19:12:14] Yeah, that's all right.

[19:12:16] We got a little unlucky but made it through pretty clean.

[19:12:20] Deflecting that thrust was like the coolest thing I've ever seen.

[19:12:24] Yeah, that's minus one hit right there.

[19:12:27] Little known fact that thrusts in this game

[19:12:30] There is a special counter for them but they can also be deflected

[19:12:33] The reason we don't usually try to do it in speedruns

[19:12:37] is because it's slow, you get knocked back

[19:12:39] and it's a very slow animation

[19:12:41] But I had nowhere to go there so that was my only option

[19:12:45] And the parry frames for those threats attacks are much smaller than a normal attack.

[19:12:49] It's sudden frame? Is that right?

[19:12:51] I'm not sure of the frame date on it.

[19:12:55] Time for the story part

[19:12:57] of the speedruns, which is probably the best part.

[19:13:00] The yapping and while

[19:13:01] we're yapping in-game how about

[19:13:03] we also yap out of game with some donations?

[19:13:05] Oh you want me to do that? Alright. I guess

[19:13:08] I can, yeah. That's the thing they put me up here

[19:13:10] to do, I suppose. $25

[19:13:11] here from Matt that said, first time donating after

[19:13:13] watching for years. This feels like a week-long

[19:13:15] holiday and for a great cause. Cheers to good runs

[19:13:18] And congrats on 50 million

[19:13:20] Thank you for contributing to

[19:13:22] Well, as anonymous would like to put it

[19:13:24] For $500 here they said let's go to 100

[19:13:26] Million so thank you for contributing towards that 100

[19:13:29] that we are now marching quickly towards.

[19:13:31] We've also got a $5 donation here from Ribba

[19:13:34] that said three of my favorite speedrunners

[19:13:35] on the same screen.

[19:13:37] Go Mitch!

[19:13:38] Ooh-woo.

[19:13:40] Oh no. I don't know that we needed

[19:13:42] that last one. Look, my job is to say

[19:13:44] it exactly on a give it to me

[19:13:46] Point at them.

[19:13:48] $100 here from Weehee that says, see Sekiro is easy just don't get hit!

[19:13:51] Shout out to Mitch and the whole Sekiro speedrunning community for being one of the best.

[19:13:56] I'm-I just wanna add in a little thing here.

[19:13:58] I couldn't beat this game getting hit just once twice three times

[19:14:02] i'm like the all-hit runner so you know even that one you are still infinitely better than me and it

[19:14:08] is still an amazing showcase i'm so glad I get to watch this live, man.

[19:14:12] You got a time for another donation here too? Yeah, another one. Alrighty.

[19:14:16] Let's do this $25 here from Caitlin that says watching GDQ with my husband has become one of

[19:14:20] my favorite traditions. Thank you so much for that $25,

[19:14:22] and let's get back to the run.

[19:14:24] Oh yeah. So

[19:14:25] we do have a bit more running

[19:14:28] to get through here, but I do want to explain

[19:14:30] a little bit about

[19:14:32] the differences that you might see

[19:14:33] in this run compared to other runs. So even though

[19:14:36] this is hitless any percent, it's not hitless with glitches so

[19:14:41] with a hitless category it's generally decided that you shouldn't be skipping any bosses because

[19:14:47] it would kind of defeat the purpose if you just didn't have to fight anything. It'd be pretty easy not to get

[19:14:53] hit so that's why you'll see

[19:14:55] things like we actually

[19:14:56] fought Gyobu and we fought Bull despite

[19:14:59] there being ways to skip them

[19:15:00] And so

[19:15:02] there are also a few instant kills that you can do on some of the bosses,

[19:15:07] but maybe it's a glitch. Maybe it's not. Who really knows?

[19:15:11] But for the spirit of Hit List I'm going to choose not to do them.

[19:15:17] There's varying rules on whether you can or cannot in different situations

[19:15:22] but for me, we're fighting all of them

[19:15:26] and we'll still AI loop them. We're still going to AI loot them and all of that stuff. We're going to embarrass

[19:15:28] them, but I will at least

[19:15:30] be fighting every single boss.

[19:15:32] Atta boy. Well, everyone

[19:15:34] that's along the way.

[19:15:37] All of us except for ones we're not.

[19:15:41] I would just like to do a callback to that Dono

[19:15:44] So Mitch actually taught me how to play Sekiro

[19:15:47] and one tip that Mitch always gives when he teaches you something is it's easy just

[19:15:50] don't get hit yes it's easy classic chatter advice

[19:15:55] yeah yeah i didn't follow my own advice.

[19:15:58] Turns out it's not so easy!

[19:16:02] Those who can do teach or something.

[19:16:06] I can say that I have been a teacher for many years.

[19:16:11] Well the good thing about a hitless run is even if you get hit

[19:16:13] You still get to watch a glitched speedrun so...

[19:16:16] Yeah yeah pretty cool

[19:16:18] Still I think it's the first time we've had glitchless at GDQ?

[19:16:22] I certainly haven't done it yet so either way a unique run

[19:16:27] and hopefully no more hits. We are past the scariest parts of

[19:16:30] the run, so hopefully it should be smoother sailing from here

[19:16:34] there's a few more random parts where there is just like a 1% chance

[19:16:38] we'll get shot randomly by an enemy,

[19:16:41] but overall it's uh... It's a little more chill from here.

[19:16:47] Alright, we probably have time for one or two donations

[19:16:49] as we get towards Roberto real quick. Alrighty,

[19:16:52] here's a $10 donation from QuackSilverth

[19:16:54] says the only thing more amazing than your

[19:16:56] ability to not get hit is your ability to

[19:16:57] demystify some of the hardest games

[19:17:00] to ever do it and make them approachable.

[19:17:02] Maybe, maybe not at this level though.

[19:17:05] Let's go Mitch and let's go SGDQ!

[19:17:08] What would- what's a likelihood you could teach PB to hitless?

[19:17:11] Is that something we can work on for

[19:17:13] the next event oh yeah well for sure definitely i think that's uh oh we'll get right on that after

[19:17:19] this if you could teach a dog he could teach me so that's the next thing

[19:17:24] all right we are coming up here on to roberto we've got a particular strat where we're kind

[19:17:28] of always going to get the same attacks from him because uh he does the same after staggers

[19:17:32] and i'll let my commentators take it away

[19:17:34] So we're gonna do a little pocket say that great opening

[19:17:40] But a little strafing here until he goes into his rage combo here. This is a funny

[19:17:45] combo because it does push you back

[19:17:47] if you don't

[19:17:49] step back there very nicely done

[19:17:51] Mitch. If you deflect that

[19:17:53] point blank, you actually do get snagged.

[19:17:55] Beautiful! I think that was a perfect Roboto.

[19:17:58] Oh yeah, it's incredible.

[19:18:03] Alright and we go right here into another boss fight.

[19:18:07] Technically the folding screen monkeys. A little bit of a puzzle

[19:18:10] boss and we are going to use some stealth to get to him.

[19:18:14] We picked up some items along the way, I already used one

[19:18:17] earlier to stealth up to the ogre but

[19:18:19] these gachine sugars

[19:18:21] make us very hard to see

[19:18:23] and so with the puzzle boss

[19:18:25] the folding screen monkeys.

[19:18:28] They're supposed to see you and run away

[19:18:28] and you're supposed

[19:18:29] to chase them

[19:18:29] to specific areas

[19:18:30] but if you just have

[19:18:31] the gachi and sugar up

[19:18:33] they kind of just don't see you

[19:18:34] and you can just

[19:18:34] hit them

[19:18:35] like it's pretty easy.

[19:18:38] Mitch does say that, but it's not that easy! They do see you

[19:18:42] when you're approaching them, but if they are fast enough

[19:18:46] you can hit them before they run away. We have that funny little thing where we

[19:18:49] jump right over that guy's line of sight

[19:18:51] so he doesn't see us.

[19:18:54] And then, yeah, get into

[19:18:55] the monkeys. There is one...

[19:18:57] The final monkey that we're gonna kill

[19:18:59] does always see you. He's got like super perception

[19:19:02] unless you sneak around behind him but he's surrounded by

[19:19:05] other monkeys that will try to hit me so I don't wanna go through

[19:19:08] those other ones surrounding him.

[19:19:10] So the final one,

[19:19:11] I'm going to do sort of as intended

[19:19:12] and put him into a dark room where he can't see me.

[19:19:15] But the first ones,

[19:19:17] it's right behind me.

[19:19:18] He's right up here.

[19:19:19] He doesn't see me because I'm stealthy.

[19:19:23] The green one is supposed to hear you!

[19:19:25] He has super hearing, but he

[19:19:27] does not

[19:19:29] get away from me in time and then the final one we just scare over

[19:19:35] into this dark room over here And now, oops.

[19:19:45] Nice!

[19:19:46] Perfect monkeys there.

[19:19:49] Nice Mitch.

[19:19:50] I'm going to go ahead and get my Nice! Perfect monkeys there.

[19:19:53] Isn't it kind of funny that the super sight monkey needs glasses?

[19:19:59] Does he have glasses on?

[19:20:01] He has glasses, purple glass yeah that's cute maybe it's so that you understand

[19:20:06] they're trying to help i guess the player

[19:20:10] all right and here we uh we get a required item in order to beat the game.

[19:20:14] But also our strongest skill that is going to absolutely carry us through

[19:20:17] the rest of the game...

[19:20:18] The Mortal Blade!

[19:20:20] And the combat art that we can equip with it

[19:20:22] The Mortal Draw

[19:20:26] Super powerful! When the game first released it was very not powerful it was pretty bad um but then in a patch they increased its damage

[19:20:32] by a lot and now it is like the best skill in the game.

[19:20:35] Absolutely shreds enemies.

[19:20:37] You will see that very soon coming up here.

[19:20:40] It is very good.

[19:20:41] Usually someone has issues on a boss

[19:20:42] and they're like, oh, what can I do?

[19:20:45] The answer every every time.

[19:20:46] Is jump mortal draw.

[19:20:48] Yes.

[19:20:50] Yeah in addition to just the mortal draw

[19:20:51] we got a skill that allows us

[19:20:52] to use combat arts while jumping

[19:20:54] well in the air

[19:20:55] and when you combine those two things

[19:20:57] the Mortal Draw does even more damage

[19:20:59] and so it... yeah

[19:21:01] You'll see some

[19:21:03] bosses we can just take out entire

[19:21:05] phases of their health just with Mortal Draw.

[19:21:08] Is that a glitch, though?

[19:21:10] That it does more damage?

[19:21:12] It's a bug?

[19:21:14] Maybe it's intended.

[19:21:16] Unintended mechanic, not a glitch.

[19:21:18] They never said it wasn't intended so...

[19:21:20] They would have patched it if they didn't want you to do it.

[19:21:22] Yeah.

[19:21:26] We are coming up on the most random part of the run,

[19:21:28] the gun fort where there's just like 10 snipers

[19:21:32] that are all trying to shoot at you.

[19:21:34] And even if you put the stealthy sugar on,

[19:21:37] they still are all trying to shoot at you.

[19:21:39] So we have a particular pathing

[19:21:41] to try and avoid their shots

[19:21:44] And then also wait for them to stop seeing us

[19:21:47] It should work, but there's a chance it won't

[19:21:49] If I get shot here... Not my fault!

[19:21:52] The game... the sun was in my eyes.

[19:21:54] The game is lagging.

[19:21:58] You know what? I think we can vote for Mitch on this one.

[19:22:00] I feel like at least on a non-hitless speedrun

[19:22:03] it doesn't matter your run does not start until you've gone through

[19:22:06] this area because it's just...you could literally die and

[19:22:09] be the best player of all time, it's just not your fault.

[19:22:12] It is total baloney.

[19:22:16] So we are trying to make as few enemies see us

[19:22:18] as we can as we approach

[19:22:20] the scariest bridge part.

[19:22:22] So only this boss and one other sees us,

[19:22:26] and if we crouch here

[19:22:28] nobody else will see us until

[19:22:30] we step on that bridge.

[19:22:31] Then everyone sees us

[19:22:32] when we got to go. So let's go! until we step on that bridge. Then everyone sees us and we gotta go, so...

[19:22:33] Let's go! And then they're about to shoot

[19:22:37] So we jump off the bridge, hopefully they miss.

[19:22:41] I missed the grapple! That's grapple that's okay that's

[19:22:44] okay um in order to get a second try at that

[19:22:47] i'm gonna need to make everyone forget about me so we're just gonna have

[19:22:50] to wait here for a little bit uh We're chilling, we're chilling.

[19:22:54] Time for some donations while we just wait

[19:22:55] for everyone to forget about me.

[19:22:56] Must have been the wind.

[19:22:58] Must have been.

[19:23:00] Alrighty,

[19:23:00] here is $25

[19:23:01] from Kaleida Nope

[19:23:03] that said

[19:23:04] if you think about it, Doctors Without

[19:23:05] Borders and Sora have a lot in common.

[19:23:07] They both go out of their way to reach out

[19:23:09] to help anyone in need no matter the obstacles

[19:23:11] or perils they face. They both

[19:23:13] also need our help to reach their full potential.

[19:23:16] Let's keep donating to reach that Critical Mode incentive and that lifetime goal, because we all know without a doubt MSF is light!

[19:23:23] So thank you for that, because I i'm gonna pivot right into talking about

[19:23:26] that upgrade to level one critical mode for kingdom hearts

[19:23:30] two final mix it is currently needs 69 163

[19:23:35] more dollars and that'll put us so close to 1 million dollars raised this event i believe in

[19:23:41] us we can definitely make it happen so please remember when you're putting in your donations

[19:23:45] the bottom of the page you do have to select incentives and bid wars that is

[19:23:48] not automatic and it's just with your donation you can just do that. It's not like you have

[19:23:52] to do anything additional, just click the box so just do it! Help us get to that upgrade

[19:23:56] to level one critical mode, we would appreciate

[19:23:58] you greatly.

[19:24:00] Alright so now that I did get the

[19:24:02] grapple a second time

[19:24:04] We are going to stealth through and just

[19:24:06] assassinate a few of these guys on the way through so they won't see us.

[19:24:10] Should be pretty safe

[19:24:11] from this point. Also,

[19:24:13] I forgot to mention at the start of the run, but

[19:24:15] I will be donating $10 for every

[19:24:17] hit that I've taken, so we're at three so far.

[19:24:21] So that's why you...

[19:24:22] Yeah it's for charity.

[19:24:24] Very clever.

[19:24:25] Yes yes.

[19:24:27] Alright this next boss, Parky's favorite is actually very consistent with the script.

[19:24:31] Parky you wanna talk us through it?

[19:24:32] Yeah so Mitch is gonna hit him once here and then deflect until the last hit which he will dodge through

[19:24:38] And then do the MV there.

[19:24:41] And there is the death blow,

[19:24:43] and then he's gonna jump, mortal draw,

[19:24:45] and that will...

[19:24:47] He'll do it again, and then that will be it.

[19:24:49] That looks really consistent but it's not and i don't know why

[19:24:54] it's like it's good until it's not you know but that was very clean rich very beautifully done

[19:24:59] yeah and shows off the power of that mortal draw where in the second phase all I did was Mortal Draw

[19:25:03] And he was dead before he could even turn around and do an attack

[19:25:06] So uh...that is what we're gonna be relying on throughout this run

[19:25:11] Though the positioning does matter and um sticky keys Class.

[19:25:26] Okay, well... Should've checked with him before the run.

[19:25:30] Is that the real enemy?

[19:25:34] I think we're okay now. We'll get to the musical performance there.

[19:25:38] Can we take just a quick little tech break where I can disable

[19:25:42] all of the sticky keys hotkey here real quick.

[19:25:46] Yeah, all right.

[19:25:48] Sticky keys?

[19:25:50] That's insane.

[19:25:51] What are you doing?

[19:25:52] Hold on.

[19:25:53] How do we get to it?

[19:25:54] How do we get here? How do I get to the disabled sticky keys noises?

[19:25:56] I don't want to hear this!

[19:25:59] Someone help me out!

[19:26:00] Somebody donate and tell us how to fix sticky keys!

[19:26:04] I thought there was going to be a pop-up

[19:26:06] I could click on.

[19:26:07] There usually is, to be fair.

[19:26:12] Sticky keys have been a menace

[19:26:13] ever since I was a kid playing computer games.

[19:26:15] So can you submit Sekiro only

[19:26:17] sticky keys next event?

[19:26:25] Alright.

[19:26:28] Give us one more second here, we gotta figure out where to get this from

[19:26:32] Alrighty I'm gonna take over for a moment

[19:26:36] If i could stop laughing.

[19:26:38] Alright,

[19:26:40] $100 here from Peter Rivera that says long time watcher, first

[19:26:42] time donator. I've never been

[19:26:44] able to donate to any of the GDQ events

[19:26:47] but I finally have a chance. Here is to

[19:26:49] the critical level 1 run

[19:26:51] because I am never tired of seeing those.

[19:26:54] $100 contributed to that.

[19:26:55] Thank you so much. I love that I can still hear

[19:26:57] the runner.

[19:26:59] That's great. I love it. can still hear the runner. Hmm, hmm, ah!

[19:27:00] That's great, I love it.

[19:27:02] I'm glad we're figuring that out.

[19:27:03] Keep in mind also when you put your donations and you are automatically entered for prizes

[19:27:06] so when you go to the bottom

[19:27:07] and you're like,

[19:27:08] You know what?

[19:27:09] I want to help with that critical mode

[19:27:10] incentive. You're just automatically entered for

[19:27:12] the prizes. $5 donation gets

[19:27:14] you a home world run

[19:27:16] Tri-Catch 3D

[19:27:18] painted model which is super cool. There's a

[19:27:21] $50 minimum donation for a Tetris

[19:27:23] blanket. It's beautiful. I've seen it on set.

[19:27:25] It's really well made

[19:27:26] and there's a ton of other fantastic

[19:27:29] prizes, especially related to Kingdom kingdom hearts be sure you check

[19:27:32] them out when you put in your donations and look at that we fixed sticky keys that's the

[19:27:37] final boss right that's the final boss we've done it.

[19:27:44] Don't have to just contend with getting hit, also with sticky keys so

[19:27:46] that's really what makes this run so hard

[19:27:48] This drop here looks very scary

[19:27:50] but as long I grapple at the right time...

[19:27:53] Nice!

[19:27:56] His feet just get dipped into the poison

[19:27:57] just a little. Just a little.

[19:27:59] No fall damage though, we're fine.

[19:28:01] And we are coming up on a little skip here with this snake.

[19:28:05] You're supposed to use the puppeteer ninjutsu

[19:28:08] in order to get a monkey to distract the snake so you can sneak on by,

[19:28:12] but if you just kind of jump by him and do a grapple at the right time you

[19:28:16] can get over there nice there's a little bit of a weird hitbox there sometimes

[19:28:23] i'll make sure to go very far out to the left, because if you stay close he can hit you when it really doesn't look like he should.

[19:28:30] And then we've got another little mini-boss here, the Snake Eyes. It's going to be mostly those mortal draws again

[19:28:37] including the jump mortal draw that does a ton of damage this is a really hard casual boss in my

[19:28:43] opinion i feel like everyone struggles on this boss when their first

[19:28:46] playthrough but yeah just watch Mitch does make extremely easy work of it

[19:28:54] and very nice Nice. Very nice!

[19:28:59] Nice, easy!

[19:29:01] One of the few grabs in

[19:29:03] the game that you can actually parry

[19:29:05] or deflect rather. Yeah it's a very interesting

[19:29:08] hitbox, a lot of people don't know that you can

[19:29:10] deflect it because it is a grab

[19:29:12] but yeah deflecting it's very nice

[19:29:14] and also builds up a little bit of that posture

[19:29:16] so we kind of glossed over the entire mechanics

[19:29:19] of Sekiro, but basically enemies both have a health bar and a posture bar

[19:29:23] and you can either deplete their health or fill their posture

[19:29:27] And then you are allowed to perform a deathblow on them which takes away one of their lives.

[19:29:31] The game is called Shadows Die Twice,

[19:29:33] and that's not only for us but also most of the bosses

[19:29:37] who will have two or sometimes more health bars

[19:29:40] that you have to get through

[19:29:44] we pick up here a yashariku sugar which is a very very strong sugar

[19:29:48] at the cost of reducing our maximum health in half.

[19:29:51] But it makes us do so much damage and if we're not getting hit

[19:29:55] hopefully... It doesn't really have a downside that

[19:29:59] half's health is not going to affect us too much,

[19:30:02] but the increased damage will make it a lot faster.

[19:30:05] Do you think he can do this next boss blindfolded?

[19:30:09] Blindfold... I don't know! He's a really hard boss here.

[19:30:12] Really hard boss.

[19:30:14] Oh my god that was so hard!

[19:30:18] That was crazy!

[19:30:21] So that is the hardest boss of the run, as you can see.

[19:30:26] Poor little Miss Noble.

[19:30:28] They really did him so dirty.

[19:30:30] Yeah, the point of that fight is

[19:30:34] You're supposed to have to figure out how to get to him there's this whole winding path you got

[19:30:36] to go through but you can just do a little jump off the branch and get straight to them

[19:30:40] it's almost easier than going around, because that jump is pretty easy.

[19:30:46] Alright we are coming up on the only boss in this run

[19:30:50] that truly has one health bar,

[19:30:53] one health that

[19:30:54] we have to get through. And so

[19:30:56] there is a way to stealthily

[19:30:58] perform a deathblow but

[19:31:00] it's...it's a little weird

[19:31:02] in the way you do it. It doesn't feel very intended, so I am choosing not to

[19:31:06] do the instant kill on this boss and instead fight

[19:31:09] its normally sort of...

[19:31:14] We'll see how that normally goes.

[19:31:16] Just avoiding all controversy on this one?

[19:31:19] You guys can

[19:31:20] talk through my

[19:31:21] 1-2-3 snap.

[19:31:24] It's a very fun one, do you know it?

[19:31:25] I don't remember the exact song but yeah there is a whole coffee pasta every time

[19:31:32] this gets here.

[19:31:33] Yeah, first of all the confetti is so beautiful. I love looking at the confettisaur

[19:31:38] Mitch will be doing a little combination of the snapseeds and the ash

[19:31:42] Both of which will make her stagger as you can see

[19:31:46] And just the exact order and timing he does it in is very specific

[19:31:52] and allows her to stay staggered, I suppose. Yeah. Um... very consistent strats and there she is! Nice! Very cool,

[19:32:03] very cool. Believe it or not, not the cheesiest way to beat that boss.

[19:32:08] Yeah!

[19:32:09] Surprisingly, yeah.

[19:32:10] That is a legit fight.

[19:32:12] It is a crazy fight though if you don't do any of this

[19:32:14] If you just fight with the sword or whatever

[19:32:16] It takes forever

[19:32:18] She has so much health.

[19:32:20] Yeah, she's just very weak to some of those items.

[19:32:23] The Snap Seeds are made specifically to counter these illusion-type enemies that she is

[19:32:29] as well as the Ashe stunlocks her

[19:32:30] for a very long time. Very abnormal

[19:32:32] for bosses. Most bosses don't get

[19:32:35] staggered from that long from the Ashe, but

[19:32:36] super powerful against her.

[19:32:39] We are coming up against just two bosses left. We are coming up

[19:32:40] against just two bosses left,

[19:32:42] we're almost done here

[19:32:43] and next is the Guardian Ape

[19:32:45] who the first phase

[19:32:48] where we're kind of

[19:32:49] going to do another one

[19:32:50] of these little stun lock things or the only phase, we're kind of going to do another one of these little stunlock things.

[19:32:52] The only phase! Sorry, the one and only phase!

[19:32:58] But yeah I'll let them talk through it when we get there, but maybe time for one quick donation

[19:33:02] as we run over. the Elden Ring DLC to watch Mitch crush Sekiro.

[19:33:13] Cheers to Mitch, Aggie Parky and the whole Soulsrunning community! Yeah, the DLC has been a little crazy.

[19:33:25] Oh yeah, painful is the term I would use.

[19:33:25] Yeah, yeah.

[19:33:28] Alright, so here this is a really fun little strat that Mitch will do here.

[19:33:30] He is going to pull up to

[19:33:32] the Guardian Ape with a jump mortal draw here just to get him started and

[19:33:38] yeah basically he's got the guardian name has certain damage thresholds where he's

[19:33:42] going through stagger and uh, during the stagger animation

[19:33:45] you're gonna build up just enough damage

[19:33:47] to hit the next stagger right away

[19:33:49] as soon as he regains control.

[19:33:51] You have to be careful though because if you hit him too many times

[19:33:53] he'll flip over and then run away.

[19:33:55] Yay! We did it! It's over! One boss left!

[19:33:59] Let's go! Nice, Mitch!

[19:34:02] That was so easy!

[19:34:03] Let me just stand here and admire my kill while we see the shinobi execution.

[19:34:08] Nice, that's a nice kill!

[19:34:11] In fact, we'll throw confetti over him just because it's so pretty.

[19:34:18] What? over him just you know just because celebration

[19:34:23] what is happening oh my god man they really bait you with that one they give you this execution and everything. It's brutal.

[19:34:29] But anyway,

[19:34:30] this phase 2 is going to be more of an actual fight.

[19:34:33] As you can see there's no

[19:34:34] stun lock or anything it's just knowing

[19:34:35] really good positioning, knowing

[19:34:37] the good times to knowing the headshots like that for example

[19:34:41] And there it is! Nice! That was beautiful RNG there too Beautiful orange, either too.

[19:34:56] Yeah basically they're using the combination of the Yashariku Sugar and the Mortal Draw

[19:35:01] We make quick work of him even though he is a very high health boss normally.

[19:35:11] And now we've just got one boss left or kind of two because it's sort of two bosses rolled into one. Emma and Isshin.

[19:35:16] I'm pretty sure that boss comes back by the way, one more time right?

[19:35:18] The Guardian Ape? Yeah. Yeah, yeah it does come back later

[19:35:21] but... With a girlfriend!

[19:35:23] With a girlfriend. But that is an

[19:35:25] optional boss so we are not gonna

[19:35:27] be fighting it. You could

[19:35:29] fight it right now if you wanted the memory.

[19:35:31] It actually is a very low health boss that ties instantly to Mortal Draw,

[19:35:35] it's a very funny fight to do like that.

[19:35:38] But for quickness of finishing the game we're just going

[19:35:41] to head straight to the final boss here.

[19:35:42] It is very goofy. They give you the mortal draw blade which like kills people for real and

[19:35:47] The guy doesn't use it on the guardian ape for some reason.

[19:35:55] Yeah come one i was using it on him the entire fight i can't finish them off with it at the end

[19:35:58] yeah

[19:36:02] all right coming up here is a little bit scary. There are some enemies that are going to try

[19:36:05] and hit me so I'm taking specific paths and jumps to avoid them. Especially right after

[19:36:11] this next grapple, I've got to jump to the side so that

[19:36:14] I don't get hit by a projectile.

[19:36:16] There he goes! That was

[19:36:18] closer than it usually is.

[19:36:20] Nah, that was planned.

[19:36:24] Alright and then our final boss that was planned. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.

[19:36:25] And then our final bosses

[19:36:26] got to make sure

[19:36:27] not to select

[19:36:27] the wrong option here.

[19:36:29] That has happened before.

[19:36:31] It's such a bummer.

[19:36:37] Here we go. First up is Emma and I believe we're just going to kind of trade blows

[19:36:38] back and forth here you do not want to

[19:36:42] spam attacks on her because she has some

[19:36:43] nasty counter-attacks so you kind of

[19:36:45] just want a little dance with her

[19:36:47] yeah mitchell's are just going to be fighting here the way you should basically

[19:36:53] which is one thing i really like about these seiro speedruns, you just fight bosses as

[19:36:57] you should.

[19:36:58] Maybe not in a hitless run but...

[19:37:01] Yeah.

[19:37:02] Even in the hitless run it's pretty as intended which both makes it a very fun

[19:37:05] run to learn but also a very difficult run.

[19:37:08] Because you don't get to use a lot of the cool speedrun tech

[19:37:11] to make it easier, you just gotta learn to get good.

[19:37:14] Here we go final boss let's finish strong.

[19:37:24] Nice.

[19:37:30] Very good phase one, we're gonna rebuff and then just go for some jump MVs. Watch the jump MVs everyone it's crazy!

[19:37:35] Look at that posture meter filling so quickly.

[19:37:41] One more!

[19:37:43] Nice!

[19:37:45] And that is the final boss, and you can see how strong

[19:37:48] that was. Very clean fight though, Mitch.

[19:37:50] Beautiful!

[19:37:52] Time is coming up soon once the credits appear

[19:37:54] on the screen.

[19:37:56] But yeah there it is. Took a few hits

[19:37:58] It's a very hard game. Hopefully this showed off just how

[19:38:01] hard that was. I'm still, you know

[19:38:03] pretty happy with that. I was nervous

[19:38:05] especially following PeanutButter because

[19:38:07] how can you follow that? But

[19:38:09] yeah, happy with that run. Happy to have it and time is coming up right now! Time!

[19:38:19] Very very nice run there Mitch. Those hits mean nothing.

[19:38:23] Alright thank you so much Games Done Quick for having me

[19:38:26] for yet another time. Thank you for bringing in a hitless

[19:38:30] run it was so cool to do this.

[19:38:34] I don't know why you guys selected

[19:38:36] me for this. This is a really hard

[19:38:37] run, but thank you for giving me the opportunity

[19:38:39] to attempt it. I was about 50%

[19:38:41] in practice, but yeah, Didn't quite get it here.

[19:38:44] But yeah! Shoutouts to the Sekiro community!

[19:38:47] speedrun.com slash sekiro and you can find

[19:38:50] the Discord if you'd like to try it out yourself

[19:38:52] or there's also Team Hitless that handles more of the hit list stuff if

[19:38:55] you're into more of that rather than speed running or join both

[19:38:58] if you want to do hit list speed running like this, very fun.

[19:39:01] Do you guys have any shout outs?

[19:39:03] Shoutouts to you, you man she killed it

[19:39:06] thanks for having us it was an honor to commentate your run again

[19:39:09] and it was the honor to watch it it was really great run yeah thank you guys for

[19:39:12] for helping me out it was awesome and, and yeah, I think we will

[19:39:15] wrap it up here, send it back to

[19:39:18] Zenodierre. Hey, I'm going to chime in

[19:39:20] real quick here. Round of applause, of course.

[19:39:22] Sorry, I should not interrupt that fantastic

[19:39:24] run. Thank you for having me for a third time dude uh there's been a lot of

[19:39:28] excitement today and there's plenty more to go tonight with our room and with our remaining days

[19:39:32] of sgdq 2024 but we would like to take a moment to take you over to the GDQ Director of Operations.

[19:39:45] All yours.

[19:40:16] Hey, everybody.. I decided, hey let's do a little speed running and see what happens. It was going to happen at MAGFest, but they didn't have any internet

[19:40:20] so they kicked the differ to their

[19:40:22] own, to Mike's own basement

[19:40:23] and that's where the event

[19:40:26] started. I remember

[19:40:28] watching that first event and donating,

[19:40:30] and remembering man,

[19:40:32] I really would love to come

[19:40:33] and attend that event sometime in the future.

[19:40:37] Little did I know

[19:40:38] a couple years later,

[19:40:40] that I would be there and helping out.

[19:40:43] And of course now basically leading the operation.

[19:40:48] But it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for Michael Yama, who got this whole ball started.

[19:40:55] So first off I want to give a round of applause to Michael Yama for getting this game By Quick going. Also, I figured I'd drop a few stats on you all.

[19:41:26] We've supported well over half-a-dozen charities in our history.

[19:41:31] We've also of course like I said been around for 14 years.

[19:41:36] We have nearly 900 thousand donations in our database.

[19:41:42] Yeah thank you that's a round of applause for all of you for that one.

[19:41:48] That was amazing! We also featured over 4,500 runs and 4,500 prizes.

[19:41:56] And the median donation is only $25.

[19:41:59] So it just goes to show that you don't need to donate a ton of money

[19:42:03] in order to be an impactful donation to GDQ.

[19:42:09] I think there's really not much else

[19:42:11] I could say other than thank you

[19:42:13] to everybody who has supported us

[19:42:15] over these years. It would not be possible without all of

[19:42:19] your support and helping us through all this time,

[19:42:23] and also to all the volunteers and and all of the runners who come

[19:42:28] and donate their time

[19:42:30] and even some money to get here.

[19:42:34] It's a

[19:42:36] huge huge It's a huge, huge gift to us.

[19:42:41] And I really appreciate that and I'd like to give another round of applause for all the runners and staff who come to these events and help us. And if I And finally, thanks to all the staff who are behind the scenes right now watching and making

[19:43:06] sure that this all goes off smoothly.

[19:43:09] Thank you all. And a little quick announcement. I'm going to be talking about my new book called The Greatest Man in the World. This all goes off smoothly.

[19:43:09] Thank you, all and a little quick round of applause

[19:43:13] for you guys.

[19:43:24] And finally let's see another 50 million in the future. Let's see what happens.

[19:43:25] Thank you all so much. Wow, it's such a beautiful weight on my heart right now.

[19:43:43] It feels heavy, but in the best possible way in my mind

[19:43:46] especially after hearing all of that

[19:43:48] We're gonna take a few moments here

[19:43:50] we'll be back and get into our next round set up in the meantime y'all so All right, I think I've taken enough of a breather for those of you still sticking around in the moment.

[19:44:25] I do have a lot of good donations that came through during that run but limited time because there's so much going

[19:44:29] on, and I want to try and shout out as many of them as I can. And Mitch, I apologize

[19:44:33] in advance, I swear this isn't personal.

[19:44:36] $25 here from anonymous that said the only thing better than

[19:44:38] Mitras playing Sekiro is seeing Mitras invent his new category,

[19:44:41] Stikero!

[19:44:43] $10 from Roy Treneman that said have you tried turning it off and on again?

[19:44:48] $25 from Joey that said,

[19:44:50] Sticky Keys the true villain.

[19:44:53] $25 from MrZimbu that said,

[19:44:55] Sticky Keys is what happens when you get peanut butter on the buttons.

[19:45:00] $5 from Sosa that said,

[19:45:02] Parky and Aggie's matching outfits are so cute.

[19:45:05] How did I miss that one?

[19:45:06] I wish they were in here to hear that!

[19:45:09] $50 from, oh, Sticky Keys themself?

[19:45:12] It said, it is I, the ultimate boss,

[19:45:15] Sticky Keys!

[19:45:17] Well, Sticky Keys got really excited i have two more donations from them another 50 that

[19:45:21] said do you want to turn on sticky keys sticky keys let's use the shift control alt or windows

[19:45:25] logo keys by pressing one key at a time. It can also mess up

[19:45:29] your run. The keyboard shortcut to turn

[19:45:31] on Sticky Keys is to press the shift

[19:45:33] key five times.

[19:45:35] And they also threw another hundred

[19:45:37] Sticky Keys. You were excited. get some shout outs here this hundred dollar

[19:45:40] donation from sticky said finally my time to shine james done quick thank you for all of those

[19:45:46] donations we got plenty more still 50. $50 from Polantaris

[19:45:50] that said, looking forward to next year's Sticky

[19:45:52] Keys percent. $5

[19:45:54] from Happy by 3 that said, Sekiro

[19:45:56] more like Sticky Kero

[19:45:58] am I right?

[19:46:00] Take that back.

[19:46:01] 50 from Mike Gu that said, Hi Mitch!

[19:46:05] Actual Microsoft employee here and I'm happy to provide tech support for you today.

[19:46:09] The best way to prevent sticky keys from ruining your runs is

[19:46:11] to first remove all of your keycaps, then soak them in a solution of soap and water.

[19:46:16] Make sure to dry them thoroughly before reattaching them to the keyboard.

[19:46:19] To prevent this issue in the future, avoid consuming sugary

[19:46:23] treats while speedrunning. Glad I could help.

[19:46:25] Wow, actual tech support.

[19:46:27] Incredible. And the fastest

[19:46:29] I think I've ever gotten it.

[19:46:30] $25 here from Ryan that said I was disappointed that the Any% Sekiro run avoids

[19:46:33] the final boss but I'm really glad Mitch chose to change

[19:46:35] that and showcase the dreaded Sticky Keys fight.

[19:46:39] $100 from Kirex that said

[19:46:41] Maybe the real sticky keys were the friends we made along the way.

[19:46:47] And we had a $50 donation for Masterquake that said seeing this Sekiro run makes me want to give the game a shot. Also, Sticky Keys drives

[19:46:54] me crazy! Beep!

[19:46:57] So many amazing donations

[19:46:58] and a lot of people were way funnier than they needed

[19:47:01] to be. Wow.

[19:47:02] Alright, we have cleaned up Sekiro donations. I can't believe

[19:47:04] we're done with that there's another run coming! so so We'll be right back. Hello once again everybody and welcome back to Summer Games Done Quick 2024 live from Minneapolis powered by Twitch and in support of Doctors Without Borders.

[19:47:59] We are currently at $914,000 raised

[19:48:02] and counting for this amazing cause with so many

[19:48:05] amazing people who have helped get us there. if you didn't hear we have raised a total of

[19:48:10] over 50 million dollars for charity across the lifetime of games done quick what an

[19:48:17] amazing milestone and i'm very excited to see how much further we can push that

[19:48:21] before the end of this event on saturday it doesn't feel like it's that close but it is so

[19:48:26] keep in mind that we have more gdq you you can get to extend the marathon help it go a little further

[19:48:32] and see more amazing things right now we do have an incentive to upgrade the kingdom hearts 2 final

[19:48:37] mix run which is actually uh right after Castlevania Symphony of the

[19:48:41] Night and the Recap. You can upgrade that to

[19:48:43] the Level 1 Critical Mode fight

[19:48:45] Which let me tell you

[19:48:47] That's an incredibly difficult

[19:48:49] game mode to choose. That is like

[19:48:52] hard, but hard-hard. I can't describe it any better because my

[19:48:56] brain has turned off. However we need another $64,000

[19:49:00] dollars to get there. We have a little bit of time

[19:49:02] but now you probably should focus

[19:49:04] on it a little more.

[19:49:05] Remember when you put in your donations

[19:49:07] at the bottom of the page

[19:49:09] you have to select

[19:49:10] the bid war or incentive specifically. You are automatically entered

[19:49:13] for prizes, and let me tell you there's a lot of

[19:49:15] Kingdom Hearts prizes currently up for grabs

[19:49:17] take a look at those at GameZoneQuick.com

[19:49:19] slash prizes but the incentive

[19:49:21] in Bidwar needs your help now.

[19:49:23] And you have to very particularly select it at the bottom of the page,

[19:49:26] say hey I really want to help that level 1 critical mode and help make GDQ even more amazing.

[19:49:32] We really appreciate everyone who has donated thus far

[19:49:35] and helped push us to this 914,000

[19:49:37] I'm so excited to see where it goes.

[19:49:42] I had to take a moment

[19:49:44] to listen to the game brass

[19:49:45] Because Clock Town is

[19:49:46] One of my

[19:49:48] One of the themes

[19:49:50] I grew up with

[19:49:50] And that it deeply

[19:49:51] Deeply feel that one

[19:49:53] Hey audience

[19:49:54] Help me out with this one

[19:49:55] this was a two thousand dollar donation from our friend brand that's amazing

[19:49:59] two thousand dollars their donation said sekiro is one of my favorite games and Symphony of the Night

[19:50:07] is one of my partner's favorites so I knew it was time to donate.

[19:50:10] Thanks for all of the great runs and here's to many more!

[19:50:13] Thank you so much for that $2,000 donation

[19:50:17] Incredible! And I'm gonna

[19:50:19] remind you, I did mention it earlier and I didn't do a good

[19:50:21] enough job of saying how incredible

[19:50:23] that is. We have gotten over

[19:50:25] 16,100 donations just in this event alone.

[19:50:30] That is so many donations,

[19:50:32] So many messages I love that

[19:50:35] and I wish I could read more

[19:50:36] but thank you for everyone who submitted one donation five

[19:50:39] donations 10 etc this marathon happens because of you and i'm so thankful i can be here with all

[19:50:45] of you ¶¶ Hey, here's a $50 donation from Pawn

[19:51:07] which makes me think of Dragon's Dogma 2. I thought I was done

[19:51:10] with that game but apparently not.

[19:51:12] They said absolutely unbelievable that we've reached

[19:51:14] 50 million! Thank you to every

[19:51:16] single viewer, volunteer and runner

[19:51:18] who make this the best time of year seriously I'm gonna

[19:51:21] just say it again just like pawn said thank you to every single viewer

[19:51:25] volunteer runner every person that makes this happen

[19:51:27] and thank you for every donation that we get.

[19:51:32] $25 here from Linda, that said

[19:51:34] watching with my best friend and boyfriend

[19:51:36] Mark thank you SGDQ

[19:51:38] all you do Hey! We had a $50 donation here from Sestran that said best of luck to Dragon Blitz in the RBO run.

[19:51:47] May you hit all the frame perfect tricks first try!

[19:51:50] Thank you for blessing the run

[19:51:53] I'm so excited to see how this one goes

[19:51:57] We are still getting that one set up in the background here

[19:51:59] And you know what?

[19:52:01] I like peanut butter. Audience, did you

[19:52:03] like peanut butter? Did you like the Ken Griffey Jr.

[19:52:06] run?

[19:52:07] Yeah, incredible stuff. I've still got

[19:52:10] some donations in here that I thought were super cute

[19:52:12] talking about pets and PB. So while

[19:52:14] I have a few moments, I just want to talk about dogs.

[19:52:16] I want to talk about pets. I think that's a pretty

[19:52:18] cool thing to do. I had a $50

[19:52:20] donation here from Nanobite that said

[19:52:22] so proud of PB and JSR for such an awesome run. On behalf

[19:52:26] of my seven good doggos, Charlie, Tessa, Tonks, Trick, Hamilton, Mary and Oliver

[19:52:32] I say good boy! May you get

[19:52:36] all the best treats tonight.

[19:52:39] We had a

[19:52:40] $50 donation from Venya Christine

[19:52:42] that said donating in honor of Cat Life

[19:52:44] Alex and Lindis lady of the litter during

[19:52:47] the speed running dogs game go pb i love the name cat life alex that is

[19:52:52] incredible there was ten dollars here from withered

[19:52:55] soul and they said absolutely wonderful dog

[19:52:58] the bestest boy in the world that a man could wish for PB bestest boy ever

[19:53:04] alrighty would you look at that? The next run is ready!

[19:53:08] This is Symphony of the Night Reverse Boss Order being

[19:53:12] run by Dragon Blitz. Show us what a man is! Let's go thank you thank you what is up everybody I am dragon blitz this

[19:53:25] is Castlevania Symphony of the Night today we are going to be running reverse boss order,

[19:53:28] it is a wild and crazy ride I hope you guys

[19:53:30] are strapped in for this one

[19:53:32] And I am being accompanied by two lovely friends here

[19:53:34] if you would like to introduce yourselves

[19:53:36] Hello, I'm Caveman

[19:53:37] I like PlayStation games

[19:53:38] Dragonblitz is my friend Hello, I'm Caveman. I like PlayStation games. DragonList is my friend.

[19:53:40] Hello, I'm ADef. I like PlayStation

[19:53:42] games. Well they're both

[19:53:44] actually my friends so that's exciting.

[19:53:46] But yeah this is going to be reverse boss

[19:53:47] as I said. This is the hardest speed reverse possible as I said.

[19:53:49] This is the hardest speedrun category that exists for this game, like

[19:53:52] this is not marathon safe, this should not be in the marathon

[19:53:55] I kind of tricked them into letting me do this

[19:53:56] To be 100% honest with you guys

[19:53:58] But so I'm not expecting things to go perfectly.

[19:54:00] We have backup saves everywhere, we can crash the game and soft

[19:54:03] lock.

[19:54:06] Things can go very wrong.

[19:54:09] I will be starting in luck mode that's why you're seeing this name code up on the screen it essentially changes

[19:54:12] my stats around a little bit to make certain glitches possible but without further ado i think

[19:54:16] we're ready to get into it let's get started in three two one. Just kidding I pressed the wrong button.

[19:54:26] I'm keeping you guys on your toes!

[19:54:28] 3, 2, 1, go. For real this time!

[19:54:31] So this is the prologue for the game we're starting as Richter

[19:54:33] We are not going to be seeing him for very long

[19:54:35] But during this section of the game

[19:54:37] The things that we do here do impact how we will be playing

[19:54:39] As Alucard later so I'm getting a certain number

[19:54:41] Of hearts here because it changes the starting items That I get and then I'll be throwing those hearts away as well

[19:54:45] this gives me access to the neutron bomb item and the heart refresh

[19:54:48] both of them are going to be used for glitches later on in the run during this

[19:54:51] part of the run, I will be throwing holy Water on the ground after doing a Hydro Storm

[19:54:54] to do big damage to Dracula. This is called a Damage Stack. We don't really know why it happens

[19:54:58] It's kind of random but if we get Damage Stacks he dies quicker

[19:55:02] We didn't get one there. We got one there!

[19:55:07] And just a couple of blade dashes, oh he did jump which is unfortunate that loses

[19:55:11] a little bit of time but you know it loses like 3 to 5 seconds so it's not

[19:55:13] that big of a deal. So as I said earlier this is a reverse boss order run. This is going to be very glitch heavy because we have to skip past a lot of the intended bosses

[19:55:22] to get to the end of the game beat the second to last final boss, because this is a

[19:55:26] reverse boss order run that does end on

[19:55:28] killing Dracula and getting the credits. So it's

[19:55:30] a reverse boss order except for that.

[19:55:32] There are other exceptions. This is very loose

[19:55:34] in the definition of reverse boss order.

[19:55:36] And, the way that we determine the boss order itself

[19:55:39] Is the end game tactics menu which I will show off later

[19:55:41] But for now check out this sick damage boost

[19:55:45] Bam!

[19:55:48] That is called a big toss when I take more than half of my health in a singular hit

[19:55:52] Perfect number of bats there, um...

[19:55:54] Perfect number of bats there

[19:55:56] You need to kill exactly three, you have no idea

[19:55:58] but yeah, if you take

[19:56:00] more than half of your health in a singular hit, you get sent

[19:56:02] flying and we're actually going to be using that

[19:56:04] to skip past the encounter with death

[19:56:06] this is a cutscene where he takes away all of your powerful starting gear

[19:56:09] but we just slide on pass through and we get to keep the alucard sword alucard shield dragon helm

[19:56:14] very powerful starting stuff that lets us do extra damage and will be useful

[19:56:17] for uh killing all the bosses in the reverse order but from here as

[19:56:21] i was talking about with the bats our experience is incredibly tight every single enemy we kill

[19:56:26] is scripted because we need to level up in very specific spots, and our stats need to be almost exact for a lot of the run

[19:56:32] in order to make these glitches work. Because a lot of them rely on leveling up that level-up screen right there

[19:56:37] that paused the entire game. That needs to happen in very specific spots and we're

[19:56:41] going to be taking advantage of that for some glitches, and we're coming up on one right now

[19:56:45] as soon as I get my level set up. Gonna kill these two guys, leave the the room come back do it again

[19:56:52] kill this guy here and now the next enemy i feel these red skeletons don't

[19:56:56] count as enemies by the way they're just kind of vibing

[19:56:58] uh next enemy i kill will give me a level up, so I'm getting that guy on the switch.

[19:57:01] Killing him now. He's gonna get up later.

[19:57:03] I'm going to lure this Axe Knight over to the side.

[19:57:06] This is one of the most complicated glitches in the game and it happens right away.

[19:57:09] This is a pixel perfect frame perfect... level up that I need to get here.

[19:57:14] I'm using the map to help buffer the inputs.

[19:57:16] Ah!

[19:57:17] I missed it.

[19:57:18] Map buffering in this game is also frame perfect.

[19:57:20] You have to do frame-perfect inputs.

[19:57:21] This is why we have backup saves

[19:57:23] literally everywhere because otherwise the run would not be able to continue there

[19:57:25] like i said not the most marathon safe but i'm glad i get to showcase what

[19:57:30] this game is all about when we're glitching through it

[19:57:34] so again doing the same exact setup here

[19:57:38] it is like i said frame perfect pixel perfect i think we might have got

[19:57:43] it there.

[19:57:47] Just gotta wait for the red skeleton to wake up, lower the elevator, jump on and off

[19:57:49] as its going down...and we got it!

[19:57:51] Nice!

[19:57:53] I will take a second try. That is one of the hardest tricks. Not the hardest, but

[19:57:56] one of the hardest. We have right after this some more experience

[19:58:00] routing so we're going to be killing specific enemies as well as going towards

[19:58:04] the outer wall. The outer wall has some really important stuff for us,

[19:58:06] but a lot of that important stuff is guarded by

[19:58:08] a boss fight with Goppleganger 10

[19:58:10] We can't kill him yet so we're gonna have to

[19:58:12] find a way to skip him.

[19:58:13] The most convenient way to do that

[19:58:14] is get a library card

[19:58:15] it's an item that warps you

[19:58:17] directly to the library which is past him

[19:58:19] On the way we're also going to be

[19:58:21] trying to get an item called

[19:58:23] a garnet, it's a sellable gem

[19:58:25] which will be useful for a glitch later, which is going to give us

[19:58:28] essentially infinite money, so we can turn one gem

[19:58:30] into essentially infinite.

[19:58:32] But yeah, this is probably the best time to explain

[19:58:34] what it is that I'm doing on the ground here.

[19:58:36] This is called shield dashing. this is the fastest form of ground movement

[19:58:38] we have right now. So what I am doing

[19:58:40] is pressing shield and then backdash

[19:58:42] then shield then backdash over and over again

[19:58:44] to essentially keep

[19:58:46] high starting speed of the backdash

[19:58:49] without dealing with this, the laggy end part.

[19:58:52] The shield is essentially what cancels it and allows you

[19:58:54] to do it over and over again.

[19:58:56] But from here we're essentially just setting up uh some experience and this

[19:59:00] is actually probably one of the best times for donations

[19:59:04] all righty then i have a 20 donation here from mindle spit that said

[19:59:08] what is a man?

[19:59:10] You know the rest.

[19:59:11] All right, and then I had

[19:59:12] a $50 donation here

[19:59:13] from Satoru...

[19:59:15] Sorry, Satoru

[19:59:16] that said,

[19:59:16] Sub-GDQ

[19:59:17] Satoru

[19:59:18] They said, Sub GDQ?

[19:59:21] Still in shock of how much we as a community

[19:59:23] have raised for charity after all these years.

[19:59:25] Keep being awesome everyone. Good luck

[19:59:27] Dragon Blitz with Soaten RBO

[19:59:29] you're gonna slay. Thank you Sotin. RBO, you're gonna slay.

[19:59:32] Thank you, Sotorio.

[19:59:33] Dragon Blitz, can I ask a question? Of course.

[19:59:37] That frame-perfect level up thing?

[19:59:40] Why? What was that? Okay, that glitch

[19:59:42] is called a

[19:59:44] reverse shift line. The name

[19:59:46] is very fancy but it essentially allows you to

[19:59:48] skip an entire screen length

[19:59:50] by pausing the screen in a specific spot while you're

[19:59:53] scrolling the camera it's essentially

[19:59:55] a camera scroll glitch that underflows

[19:59:57] the stored exposition of alucard such

[20:00:00] that when you go through a load zone

[20:00:01] it uh underflows that value and warps your entire screen length.

[20:00:05] We're going to be doing a very similar glitch here in a second called a shift line,

[20:00:08] it also involves manipulating the camera

[20:00:12] and the edges of screens but instead instead of warping you an entire screen

[20:00:14] length forward it allows you to open a hole for you to fall down at the edge

[20:00:18] of a screen. And we're going to use that to get out-of-bounds to get through

[20:00:20] that library card. But first we're gonna make a quick pit stop here in

[20:00:23] the outer wall. Ask our good

[20:00:25] friend, The Axonite, to

[20:00:27] help us out here because there's a ledge we can't reach

[20:00:29] and he's just going to push us up there.

[20:00:32] I love that big toss.

[20:00:33] It's a good one.

[20:00:35] Now I'm setting up my... I love that big toss. It's a good one.

[20:00:39] Now, I'm setting up my inventory here to set up for that glitch.

[20:00:43] This is the most stressful glitch in the entire run.

[20:00:45] It is again pixel perfect frame perfect. If I fail this trick it's like

[20:00:46] a minute and a half to set it back up again so I'm

[20:00:48] hoping we get a first try. Otherwise

[20:00:50] we're going to have lots of time for donations

[20:00:52] which is nice.

[20:00:54] So yeah, this is going to be all for setting up that shift line glitch.

[20:00:58] The next enemy I kill will give me a level-up and then you set

[20:01:01] up the level on a frame perfect spot

[20:01:04] and continue that screen freeze from the level up with the Heart Refresh item

[20:01:08] we got in the beginning because of how we get the Prologue.

[20:01:11] So I'm setting up that position right now,

[20:01:13] waiting for this guy to throw his bones... Bones.

[20:01:22] There we go, that was a frame perfect buffer I needed to hit there and I'm glad we hit it

[20:01:24] Okay this is the flashing screen warning

[20:01:26] In case you guys- I'm sorry there's no other way to do this trick

[20:01:29] It's going to be very intense so close your eyes

[20:01:31] Look away. It hurts. I am so sorry

[20:01:33] There's no other way to do this trick

[20:01:35] It will be over in like 15 seconds

[20:01:37] I'm looking.

[20:01:42] Okay, there we go. That's the library card item.

[20:01:43] Nice job, DB!

[20:01:46] This gets us past the doppelganger fight.

[20:01:48] This trick was thought to be pass only for a very long time, but we found

[20:01:51] setups like map buffering and

[20:01:53] that backdash setup

[20:01:54] that I was doing to make the pixel perfect

[20:01:56] position easier to find. Stuff like that.

[20:01:58] As far as I'm aware of it was because of the perfect number

[20:02:00] of bats that is well, that is genuinely part of it.

[20:02:03] The experience out is incredibly tight.

[20:02:05] So speaking of incredibly tight, I need some help from my friends here.

[20:02:07] Uh oh.

[20:02:08] I should be fine.

[20:02:08] 21 health is enough.

[20:02:10] Um, you know what? I'm going to make my life a little bit easier. I should be fine. 21 health is enough.

[20:02:12] You know what?

[20:02:13] I'm going to make my life a little bit easier.

[20:02:15] Get rid of this guy. I don't like him.

[20:02:17] So, what I need here is one of these guys.

[20:02:20] Unfortunately, this guy was getting a little too close to me. I need them to activate their lightning sword attack.

[20:02:22] It is random. If i take too much damage here,

[20:02:25] he's giving me nothing to work with.

[20:02:28] Now we have to lure him all the way to the edge over

[20:02:31] here because we're going to be setting up for yet another big toss.

[20:02:33] I have just barely enough health

[20:02:35] to make this work after taking that damage there

[20:02:37] so this is gonna be a little bit scary.

[20:02:38] I'm gonna give myself a little more defense.

[20:02:51] I'm gonna wait for the next one. This should work? Nice! If you fail that, you do not have enough health to try again.

[20:02:54] So it's like run over. There are so many game determinative

[20:02:58] run-over tricks back to back to back to back. This is legitimately the hardest run for a reason.

[20:03:02] The whole reason we did that by the the way, is so we can grab

[20:03:05] that fairy card relic.

[20:03:06] The Fairy is going to be our best friend here as she's

[20:03:08] going to talk to us in just a second here and her lovely

[20:03:11] words of encouragement are going to be cut off

[20:03:14] as I rudely backdash into this room

[20:03:16] thank you and that overwrites the cutscene here so now those two actions

[20:03:21] happening on top of each other allow me to open this menu when i'm not supposed

[20:03:24] to be able to so i sold a garnet as I equipped it

[20:03:26] which underflowed the value from negative

[20:03:28] one to... This game doesn't like negative numbers so

[20:03:30] 255. So, I could sell a whole bunch of them

[20:03:33] and I have as much money as I need

[20:03:34] to buy all this super powerful stuff. The Jewel of Open,

[20:03:37] I need for

[20:03:39] some stuff later on

[20:03:41] Duplicator in Gauntlet is also

[20:03:43] very important and some potions

[20:03:45] So the duplicator gives me infinite use of my potions here, or

[20:03:48] any throwable or single-use item, which

[20:03:50] is incredibly overpowered. It does

[20:03:52] lower my stats, but at this point our stats are basically

[20:03:54] at minimum anyway, so it doesn't really

[20:03:56] matter. The only stat that we do have that's really high is

[20:03:58] our luck stat, hence why it's called Luck Mode

[20:04:00] that we started in. That was the whole point with the name code

[20:04:02] etc., etc.

[20:04:04] Now that we have all

[20:04:06] of our potions, we have infinite usage of them.

[20:04:09] We can do a lot here. The only thing

[20:04:11] we can't do is jump very

[20:04:13] high yet. We don't have double jump

[20:04:15] we don't have high jump, we don't have flight

[20:04:17] so we're going to quickly get the wolf

[20:04:20] transformation funny enough. You wouldn't think that

[20:04:22] the wolf is going to allow you to jump higher,

[20:04:24] because it does it on its own, but there isn't

[20:04:26] oversight in this game where normally

[20:04:28] the game expects you to only be able to dive kick after a double jump

[20:04:31] but for some reason, after untransforming from any of the transformations

[20:04:35] You also get a divekick and that divekick can be used to gain

[20:04:38] A little bit of extra height off.

[20:04:39] You can divekickkick off enemies,

[20:04:41] off candles, all sorts of stuff.

[20:04:43] So that wolf relic is locked behind

[20:04:45] pressing this elevator switch.

[20:04:46] We're gonna come over here and press the elevator switch

[20:04:48] And on top of that...

[20:04:50] so funny enough not only is this category incredibly difficult

[20:04:53] I also rerouted the entire thing two days before the event.

[20:04:56] So...that was fun.

[20:04:57] That's good.

[20:04:58] I found a 30 second time save that required me to reroute the entire thing.

[20:05:04] But anything to save precious precious time so there's that soul of wolf relic once we untransform from the wolf transformation we will

[20:05:08] have a dive kick which we can use again as i said but also the wolf is useful on its own

[20:05:14] both for movement and for some glitches coming up later

[20:05:17] we're going to immediately use it at the end of this marble gallery section here

[20:05:21] to move through the section faster than normal.

[20:05:24] So ground speed with shield dashing is about

[20:05:26] a little over twice as fast

[20:05:27] as just the normal rock speed

[20:05:29] in this game, so you're basically going to be shield dashing

[20:05:32] everywhere. However, the only thing we can't do with is shield asking us if we can't do it in the air

[20:05:36] however the wolf's movement speed is a little bit slower than shield action

[20:05:40] but you do get to keep its normal speed in

[20:05:43] the air so what we're going to be doing is

[20:05:45] because this section requires a lot of jumps, but it's

[20:05:47] mostly horizontal, transforming into the wolf

[20:05:49] actually ends up being faster during this section.

[20:05:51] It's a little bit harder to control because the wolf has less

[20:05:53] options of control compared to Alucard,

[20:05:56] but with a lot of practice you can get through here

[20:05:58] without taking any damage and I'm hoping to do that here

[20:06:00] because it saves a lot of time.

[20:06:03] Ah, didn't get that jump there.

[20:06:04] There's a really weird slope jump you you have to do so it still worked going

[20:06:06] forward even though we probably broke even

[20:06:08] without getting the jump there but

[20:06:10] if I did everything well I should

[20:06:12] have this statue open for me? Okay good

[20:06:14] This is called The Clock Cycle Essentially there's a statue that moves in and out of your way every other minute

[20:06:19] And if you're fast enough on this category it does not block you at all

[20:06:21] Otherwise we'd have to wait essentially an entire minute just chillin' there waiting for the statue

[20:06:25] to get out of the way so... we're on great pace, all things

[20:06:28] considered. So I'm very happy about that.

[20:06:30] Let's hear it for Clock Rush.

[20:06:34] So still a lot more

[20:06:36] prep we have to do. Basically half of this run is prep, also big toss.

[20:06:40] Let's go.

[20:06:40] Oh, good one.

[20:06:41] Yeah, you can randomly get stopped on the stairs there based off

[20:06:43] of your subpixels because, of course.

[20:06:46] Yeah, this run is basically half set up like the first 30 minutes of this

[20:06:50] run it's like collecting pieces skipping tons of bosses getting to the end game

[20:06:54] unlocking warps like i just did right there anytime you enter a warp room

[20:06:58] it saves it for you to come back to later

[20:07:00] essentially at any point in time. I'm going to use this spell to get past this guy

[20:07:04] There we go! Both spells and potions give you invincibility by the way that's why i'm just like phasing

[20:07:08] through these enemies.

[20:07:09] So, I'm trying to stay invincible and not die because those enemies can kill you in one hit

[20:07:13] if you are trying to mess with them

[20:07:15] and you should not try to mess with them.

[20:07:17] Coming up here we're in the Coliseum

[20:07:19] because again like I said we're trying to set up there is the form of mist here which is required to get the soul of bat.

[20:07:24] The best relic for movement and glitches and all sorts of fun stuff but it's locked behind a boss fight so i'm setting up yet another incredibly

[20:07:31] convoluted trick here to try and get it i'll explain it after i do the trick

[20:07:36] because yeah that was frame one

[20:07:40] now it's framed two i believe if this doesn't work it's yeah That was frame 2, I believe.

[20:07:42] If this doesn't work...

[20:07:43] Yeah, that was actually frame 1.

[20:07:45] I think this isn't going to work.

[20:07:46] Yeah, okay.

[20:07:47] I can set it up again.

[20:07:48] It's not the end of the world.

[20:07:49] I do need to get a little bit more experience.

[20:07:51] This is where the experience mark gets a little bit loosey,

[20:07:53] and that's fine.

[20:07:54] 212.

[20:07:55] Okay.

[20:07:55] So I need to level up on a very specific spot,

[20:07:58] and these guys happen to give a lot of experience,

[20:08:00] which is nice.

[20:08:01] Um...

[20:08:01] I should still get big tossed by this guy, but just in case...

[20:08:06] I think... yeah, this is fine.

[20:08:08] So I'm gonna set this up again. Again,

[20:08:10] this one of the most complicated tricks you need like a

[20:08:12] spreadsheet to understand all the frames of possible animation

[20:08:14] To know exactly what to do, and I don't have that with me

[20:08:17] So...I have it all memorized. Kind of

[20:08:21] Okay, it's fine. We set up again. I do need to heal.

[20:08:29] If we can get past this, it should be smooth sailing until the next trick that could end this run

[20:08:33] so you know.

[20:08:40] There we go, first frame.

[20:08:44] Dang. These map buffers are incredibly difficult as well, because there's no...

[20:08:46] The game runs at 60 FPS so every time I'm opening the map

[20:08:49] I have to close it within one frame and then reopen it

[20:08:53] if I want to advance the state by exactly 1 frame So even the map buffers have to be

[20:08:57] difficult. That's second

[20:08:59] frame, that's fine.

[20:09:02] That's first

[20:09:03] frame. There we go. Okay.

[20:09:05] So here I'm going to fall through the floor again.

[20:09:07] I'm gonna transform into Wolf on the way down. This is gonna put me in the boss room

[20:09:10] but I can leave on the other side and that gets me to the former nest.

[20:09:15] I feel like it's also worth mentioning that the button you're using to open

[20:09:18] the map is a trigger. Oh yeah! It's not a button,

[20:09:22] so this is a frame perfect press-unpress of an analog object

[20:09:26] The trigger activates around 70%

[20:09:29] press down. Not like 100%, not

[20:09:31] like any pressure, it's 70%.

[20:09:33] So you need to know how to frame perfectly

[20:09:35] hit 70% of the actuation of

[20:09:37] this trigger.

[20:09:40] That's what they've said. You know what? I know

[20:09:42] This is a thing that I know. This actually- this is nuts

[20:09:44] This room is scary hold on

[20:09:46] Perfect number of bats, sorry

[20:09:48] Yes, I wanna get hit there the right way not the wrong way!

[20:09:50] Okay we're fine. If you get shot, uh, you die. Yep.

[20:09:54] You know turns out gun beats vampire. Yeah those bone muskets were one-shot you so DB tried

[20:09:58] to deboost and get some invisibility frames, get right through and get the shield rod

[20:10:01] Everything is working out great

[20:10:03] because this shield rod is very powerful. We're activating the shield rod

[20:10:05] spell right here. That's the whole reason we went into that room

[20:10:07] Because the shield rod when it's applied

[20:10:09] to the alucard Shield,

[20:10:11] that starting shield we basically smuggled through Death's Room

[20:10:15] is incredibly powerful.

[20:10:17] If it touches an enemy, it does 255 damage every 6 frames.

[20:10:21] That's a lot of damage by the way. I'm supposed to be

[20:10:22] doing like, I don't know, ten damage

[20:10:25] for a punch or something like that?

[20:10:26] It's very good.

[20:10:28] And also invincible

[20:10:30] when I'm hitting stuff with it. That's why I'm flashing white like that.

[20:10:33] So as long as I'm flashing white, I am

[20:10:35] invincible. Again, this is a reverse

[20:10:37] boss order run. I want to make that 100% clear.

[20:10:40] Reverse boss order. We are doing the bosses

[20:10:41] in the reverse intended

[20:10:43] order. This is Lesser Demon he's sometimes a boss

[20:10:46] but in this category he's not!

[20:10:49] Yeah I'm going to explain that in just a second here because

[20:10:52] The way that we define reverse boss order in this game is silly,

[20:10:54] cause there's no official boss order. This game is incredibly open you can tackle it

[20:10:57] in various different ways especially once you get to the second castle. You know all

[20:11:00] sorts of stuff so for us to find an order that is considered the official

[20:11:03] order by the game we were looking in the games menus.

[20:11:06] Which menus have a static order every single time?

[20:11:08] One of those menus, the one that we chose to use,

[20:11:11] The only menu that has a static order,

[20:11:12] Is this menu right here, the tactics menu.

[20:11:14] And you will notice

[20:11:15] there is no lesser demon

[20:11:16] on that menu.

[20:11:16] I don't see him.

[20:11:17] He's not a boss.

[20:11:18] As far as we're concerned,

[20:11:19] he doesn't exist.

[20:11:19] I saw Dracula

[20:11:20] in that sit.

[20:11:21] Just a guy.

[20:11:22] He's just a guy, yeah.

[20:11:23] Dracula is a boss

[20:11:23] and we saw him

[20:11:24] at the prologue,

[20:11:25] but lesser demon? I don't know that guy.

[20:11:26] It says lesser in the name.

[20:11:28] Exactly. If there were a major demon...

[20:11:30] Yeah he would show up as a boss for sure.

[20:11:32] He actually gets demoted to regular enemy

[20:11:34] in the second castle anyways. Bro, you hate to see that.

[20:11:37] Dude when an enemy in a RPG goes from like boss

[20:11:39] to one chapter later enemy

[20:11:41] I mean thats gotta suck

[20:11:43] He just didn't do his job to stop me

[20:11:45] Yeah and there's 12 of them per... He's like, I'm not even special anymore.

[20:11:48] So the thing you're seeing me do in bat form by the way since we have the soul of bat is called wing smashing.

[20:11:53] It is a very powerful spell.

[20:11:55] You are fully invincible.

[20:11:56] You are charging through the air very quickly but it does

[20:11:59] come at a cost. The input to activate is a very complicated input, it is hold jump do 3 4ths of

[20:12:05] a circle motion on the control stick and then release the jump button please don't hit me um

[20:12:10] and it requires 8mp and since we started in luck mode our mp bar is very low we don't have a lot

[20:12:15] of magic to work with uh if you look at the top left-hand corner, I'm refilling it with

[20:12:19] mana prisms. However, every

[20:12:22] activation of

[20:12:24] the wing smash input chunks my MP

[20:12:26] bar down and not only that, if

[20:12:28] you want to continue in the fast wind smashing speed

[20:12:30] flying around like this

[20:12:31] You have to re-up that 3 quarter circle motion on the control stick

[20:12:34] every 63 frames or less

[20:12:37] Or else you get forcibly dropped out of that input

[20:12:39] and in this category in particular If your forcefully ejected or else you get forcibly dropped out of that input.

[20:12:40] And in this category, if you're forcefully ejected from an invincible tackle

[20:12:44] right onto the enemy's face, you can just die

[20:12:47] because we don't have enough health or defense to defend against that.

[20:12:50] That was Gravity Boots by the way. It's a very powerful

[20:12:52] relic that allows us to do very big jumps

[20:12:54] and we're going to be using it in just a second here

[20:12:56] but the tricks don't stop there

[20:12:58] because we're immediately going to be using the wolf

[20:13:00] for a floor clip

[20:13:05] To get out of bounds into an area we're not supposed to be in yet. This is again

[20:13:08] You know if you see me open the map, it's frame perfect

[20:13:10] It's pixel perfect I promise you uh But yeah getting through the floor there is incredibly difficult.

[20:13:13] The map does help.

[20:13:15] But now we're on the floor, flying to the left,

[20:13:18] wingsmashing from out of bounds, refilling our MP, sliding down.

[20:13:20] The game constantly pushes you down when you're out of bounds to try and push you back inbounds.

[20:13:21] We touch a load zone from out of bounds that gets us to this elevator,

[20:13:24] puts us all the way down here,

[20:13:26] and this is the area where normally

[20:13:28] this is like near the end of the first

[20:13:30] half of the game, where you get the holy glasses

[20:13:32] to go save Richter and then go to the second castle.

[20:13:35] And that requires a whole quest

[20:13:37] of killing some bosses, finding

[20:13:39] extra armor, doing

[20:13:40] all sorts of stuff that takes like a casual player

[20:13:43] hours legitimately and we just

[20:13:45] skipped all of that. And also, we would be locked down

[20:13:47] here because we didn't open the floor normally. However,

[20:13:49] the gravity jump clips us through that floor there

[20:13:51] exactly once. If you have loaded that

[20:13:53] floor in at all, it doesn't allow you to clip through.

[20:13:56] Because that was the first time that floor had been loaded

[20:13:58] since activating the elevator, we were allowed

[20:14:00] to clip through specifically with the gravity.

[20:14:01] Bro, you could be making all this up.

[20:14:03] This is 100% real. Also, we're doing that clip again.

[20:14:05] And I got a first try

[20:14:06] again dude i'm kind of gaming though

[20:14:09] and this gets us into the underground caverns

[20:14:11] that one isn't required for the run but it does save like 40 seconds so

[20:14:14] might as well do it you know it this is frame perfect pixel whatever it's fine

[20:14:18] uh the reason we're down here by the way is because uh like we did earlier we grabbed a warp

[20:14:23] in the all-raxas quarters and this area has a warp for us.

[20:14:28] One of the reasons why we're going out of our way for these warps

[20:14:30] is because this is a reverse boss order

[20:14:32] and that order is incredibly arbitrary. As you

[20:14:34] already saw, one of the bosses doesn't even count

[20:14:36] so it's an incredibly arbitrary way to get

[20:14:38] through the game. So in order to minimize the amount of

[20:14:40] backtracking there's going to be backtracking but the way to

[20:14:43] minimize the amount that we're going to be doing is we're going to collect as

[20:14:46] many warps as we can in the most convenient spots that we

[20:14:49] can and then using those warps to transition between you know certain

[20:14:52] areas, certain bosses as quickly as we can.

[20:14:55] Unfortunately we are playing on the Xbox version of the game which is incredibly

[20:14:58] fast for load times there There's no slowdown,

[20:15:00] no lag. Probably the best

[20:15:02] version of the game to play casually in my opinion.

[20:15:04] Konami, could we get a re-release of this

[20:15:06] version please? But the only

[20:15:08] downside is we do not have access to a Player 2.

[20:15:10] Xbox does not register Player 2s, it uses a profile system

[20:15:13] so you can't use the debug code to blow up the bridge

[20:15:15] We had to blow it manually with the Donkey Kong skeleton

[20:15:17] So that loses us maybe 20 seconds over PlayStation

[20:15:19] but the rest of

[20:15:20] the run is so much faster uh another skip this is a cerberus a boss we don't want to fight him

[20:15:25] so we're going to use this door to push us through the floor again incredibly precise i'm so happy

[20:15:30] i hit that because I was messing

[20:15:31] that up a lot in practice.

[20:15:32] So we're just kind of scooting along the floor here.

[20:15:34] If we were to transform right now

[20:15:35] we would get clipped back in bounds

[20:15:37] but we're going to transform over

[20:15:38] on this corner which lets us leave

[20:15:40] the boss room not having to fight him yet. His time will come

[20:15:42] his time will come. It comes for us all including Cerberus

[20:15:46] and the whole reason we come down here is because there's a warp here

[20:15:50] We collect that warp-we actually use it! This is part of the reroute I was talking about

[20:15:53] that saves 30 seconds,

[20:15:54] I'm actually using the warp instead

[20:15:55] of collecting it and then library carting away

[20:15:57] to save a little bit of time in a backtracking section.

[20:16:00] I literally routed that out two days I don't know, two days before

[20:16:04] I went on my flight to come here and I'm so happy

[20:16:06] that it's actually being shown off for the first time

[20:16:08] in a run like this. So, this is a

[20:16:09] never-before-seen route as well on top of

[20:16:12] that, yeah.

[20:16:14] Dragon Blitz? What's up? out as well on top of that yeah

[20:16:18] dragonblitz what's up you're so cool thanks adef you're so cool i was asking for b def to be on the couch but

[20:16:21] i'm happy you're here no he's not uh he's not answering my phone right now so on that call soon

[20:16:27] yeah he's big time hollywood dude i don't know what to do so we're here in the clock tower this

[20:16:32] area can be a little scary if these harp harpies hit me, I get big tossed.

[20:16:36] It doesn't kill me necessarily but being

[20:16:38] big tossed in a room like this you can get comboed out of it

[20:16:40] ooooh

[20:16:40] I wasn't meant to do that

[20:16:44] Anyways

[20:16:45] That level up is also weird but we're fine I wasn't meant to do that. Anyways,

[20:16:46] That level up is also weird but we're fine.

[20:16:48] That was the noise you just made.

[20:16:50] We are here at Karasuman

[20:16:52] another boss fight and

[20:16:54] you might be thinking to yourself Is is this a boss is he not

[20:16:56] a boss what's going on here no he's a boss we're gonna come back to him later

[20:16:59] but uh he's actually a homie he's gonna help us out because we're not supposed

[20:17:03] to be here yet but on the other side of him

[20:17:05] is the end of the first castle,

[20:17:07] so he's going to help us get through the back door here.

[20:17:10] Thank you very much. Very kind of you.

[20:17:12] That looked remarkably easy?

[20:17:15] It was actually!

[20:17:17] That clip is called a Half-Blood Tech.

[20:17:19] I don't know why.

[20:17:20] I think it was named by a Japanese runner in like 2007 or something like that.

[20:17:24] I actually don't know the lore behind that.

[20:17:26] It sounds cool.

[20:17:27] It's a cool name.

[20:17:28] Sometimes people just be naming trick names a cool thing

[20:17:29] just to do it.

[20:17:30] Yeah, essentially if you get big toss while

[20:17:32] in bat form in the corner of a room

[20:17:34] it just clips you through the floor.

[20:17:35] We got the leap stone finally we can now double jump

[20:17:37] we can dive kick on our own which is really useful for movement

[20:17:40] and we're immediately transitioning into

[20:17:42] another pixel perfect frame

[20:17:44] perfect...well it's not pixel perfect but it is frame perfect

[20:17:46] trick here but there is no map

[20:17:48] buffer setup so I just have to land a frame perfect trick right

[20:17:50] there and then I have to not soft lock.

[20:17:52] Okay we're good.

[20:17:54] That's Richter Skip! There are many ways for

[20:17:56] that to go very wrong and there are many ways

[20:17:58] to skip him, but essentially the fastest way is to jump into

[20:18:01] that room with a very particular wolf jump

[20:18:03] such as the Room Detector

[20:18:05] that essentially is like hey

[20:18:07] is Alucard in this room? If yes, load

[20:18:09] the Richter boss fight. We just skip past that detector with a very precise jump as I said

[20:18:14] and then Richter never loads in

[20:18:16] and we can go straight to the second castle here.

[20:18:19] Let me be careful... Yep!

[20:18:21] These guys can kill me so I'm just waiting for my mp if

[20:18:23] i don't wing smash through them things can get very complicated very quickly there we go

[20:18:28] yeah now that we're in the second castle this game is known for its wild difficulty curve.

[20:18:36] The difficulty spike in the second castle is wild.

[20:18:39] So everything will essentially one-shot us unless we are very well set up for it and have max HP.

[20:18:45] Medusa, similar to Karasumon is also a homie

[20:18:49] Similar to the hitbox shang as we did before

[20:18:51] thankfully medusa has one of the thickest hitboxes around

[20:18:54] we're just going to let her push us out of bounds and there we go oh yeah

[20:19:02] you love to see it let me go ahead and get the Mana Prism back on here.

[20:19:06] Don't...yep, the invincibility from potions is incredibly clutch

[20:19:10] because if I landed in a Balloon Pod without invincibility

[20:19:12] I would die! I would explode into blood. It would not be fun.

[20:19:17] And from here we're

[20:19:18] essentially beelining it

[20:19:19] now that we're in the

[20:19:20] second castle to the

[20:19:22] first boss of the run.

[20:19:23] How long have we been

[20:19:23] playing?

[20:19:23] 25 minutes?

[20:19:24] Yeah, that sounds about

[20:19:25] time for the first boss, right?

[20:19:26] Yeah.

[20:19:27] But before we get there,

[20:19:28] there is a heart refresh item down here.

[20:19:30] We had to exhaust our one heart refresh from the start

[20:19:32] in order to slide into the floor

[20:19:34] and get that library card from earlier.

[20:19:36] So this is just a convenient heart refresh to pick up now.

[20:19:39] There's only, I think like four in the game

[20:19:42] or something like that? It's an incredibly rare item but

[20:19:45] the fact you start with one is so lucky for us.

[20:19:48] Otherwise, this run would not be possible.

[20:19:50] Can it be duplicated?

[20:19:51] Yes! In fact, it can.

[20:19:52] That's why we lost it before because we didn't have

[20:19:54] the duplicator but now that we have the duplicator

[20:19:56] We can use that hard refresh as many times as we want

[20:19:58] and that is an item that causes

[20:20:00] a screen freeze similar to a level up.

[20:20:02] So any screen freeze can cause those

[20:20:04] reverse shift line glitches, shift line glitches

[20:20:06] so long as you set them up properly.

[20:20:08] For us it's very convenient.

[20:20:10] Please don't touch me!

[20:20:13] Sorry.

[20:20:14] It's very stressful when you're expecting a wing smash to come

[20:20:16] out and it doesn't and then you are just in Alucard form like oh please don't touch me because i will die

[20:20:21] um but from here there's one instance of an enemy that i'm kind of scared

[20:20:27] of but after that i think our chances of dying are a lot lower because now our health

[20:20:31] can be whatever value we want we don't have to big toss anymore for the rest of the run

[20:20:36] so my shield rod is active right yeah it is okay guardians yeah we have

[20:20:39] to kill the guardians here but they

[20:20:40] kill me in one hand but if i can get the shield rod inside of their hitbox before

[20:20:44] they touch me

[20:20:46] it's fine the reason we killed them is because

[20:20:49] they give a ton of experience.

[20:20:51] I just went from like level 8 to like level 22, so now

[20:20:54] I'm going to be set on um...a lot of things

[20:20:57] This is another reverse ship line, I'm walking forward using the screen

[20:21:00] freeze back dashing out of it. And if I do

[20:21:02] everything correctly here there shouldn't be a screen freeze but there might be so brace yourselves

[20:21:06] Okay we're gonna have a slight flash and that's it okay

[20:21:10] good. If i mess that up big time you could see a screen flash for like 35 seconds

[20:21:15] It's not fun.

[20:21:16] I'm so glad that didn't happen

[20:21:17] We should have no screen flashes for the rest of the run

[20:21:19] Thankfully

[20:21:21] There is like no reason for it to ever happen.

[20:21:23] From here, this is finally the first boss fight!

[20:21:26] We did it!

[20:21:29] Wait a minute we're a bit deep into the game I think. First guy?

[20:21:32] Yeah his name is Shaft. He is

[20:21:34] a boss fight that is connected

[20:21:36] with the Dracula fight.

[20:21:39] So once we kill him

[20:21:40] it will immediately warp us to

[20:21:42] the Dracula fight. There he is, he's dead now.

[20:21:45] But we're not ready to fight Dracula yet. He's the very final

[20:21:47] boss of this run so we can get to the end credits

[20:21:49] and finish the game with the reverse

[20:21:51] boss order as much as we possibly can.

[20:21:53] So we have to find a way to leave this boss room, it will load in the whole cinematic et cetera

[20:21:58] et cetera.

[20:21:59] There is a way where you do that half blood tech in the corner.

[20:22:04] It's very slow to do it like not not very slow. I think a task can make

[20:22:06] it faster but you can easily crash

[20:22:08] the game doing so. So I'm doing an alternate strat

[20:22:10] where I just use the library card. I was about to say why not

[20:22:12] just use the library card? You're so

[20:22:14] smart ADF and cool and handsome. I'm blushing!

[20:22:18] There are some implications of

[20:22:19] library carting out of there. We now have to do

[20:22:21] the Richter skip again. Yes, that is

[20:22:23] true. Richter is still waiting for

[20:22:25] us but it's not his time.

[20:22:27] Dude I hate implications bro that is the worst

[20:22:30] One of the other implications funny enough is we've killed Shaft

[20:22:33] But he didn't disappear

[20:22:35] He's still there but we're not allowed to kill him again

[20:22:37] Because it ruins the boss order.

[20:22:38] So we have to skim past him the next time,

[20:22:41] which is going to be a very fun

[20:22:43] time for many people watching.

[20:22:45] From here, we're kind of just doing some

[20:22:47] backtracking, so this is yet another fantastic time for donations before we get to the next boss.

[20:22:50] This guy's Xanadir.

[20:22:51] All righty, here's $100 from Quest that said

[20:22:54] My fiancé introduced me to Kingdom Hearts as one of his favorite childhood game series

[20:22:57] has become nostalgic for me as well,

[20:22:59] and I can't wait to see it run. Let's get that critical mode incentive!

[20:23:03] And thank you for that.

[20:23:04] I would like to update you all

[20:23:05] that we are at $41,269

[20:23:08] of the $100,000 needed. the 100 thousand dollars needed.

[20:23:10] That means we need 58 thousand more and there's less than an hour

[20:23:14] before we get there. What just happened?

[20:23:18] Sorry I just did the most ridiculous version of victor skip with no setup and it just

[20:23:25] the reason it saves like a second because you don't have to break the brick

[20:23:29] uh in that brick makes the hitbox easier to skip past.

[20:23:32] And I said, you know what?

[20:23:33] I'll just go for brakeless if we hit it.

[20:23:35] Great.

[20:23:35] If not, you know.

[20:23:36] And I happened to hit it, so that

[20:23:37] makes me feel really good inside.

[20:23:38] That one second is going to put us

[20:23:40] with one second underestimate.

[20:23:41] Let's go. all righty mind

[20:23:45] if i take it back over of course keep going already sorry so we're at 41 000 of the 100 000

[20:23:50] needed for that kingdom hearts 2 final mix upgrade to level one critical

[20:23:53] mode that means we need about 58 000 more and we have under an hour to do it this run is already at

[20:23:59] the 30 minute mark and there's maybe a 15 minute recap after that. The time is

[20:24:04] now. We need your help. And when we finish

[20:24:06] that incentive, it's going to put us at like a healthy

[20:24:07] 980,000. So close to

[20:24:10] a million.

[20:24:11] I think we can probably get're getting a little close to that million. You know,

[20:24:13] I think we could probably get it.

[20:24:15] I mean,

[20:24:15] if we really come together

[20:24:16] and we can do money

[20:24:16] into this run.

[20:24:17] We'll get a million dollars!

[20:24:18] I don't know audience

[20:24:19] who you think

[20:24:20] we can get towards

[20:24:21] a million in this run?

[20:24:24] Twitch chat, I'm going to need

[20:24:25] some energy from you too. We absolutely

[20:24:27] can't just remember when you are putting in

[20:24:29] your donation, you have to go to the bottom

[20:24:31] and specifically select that incentive

[20:24:33] If you do not, it just goes to the bank

[20:24:36] which is great. We want those donations

[20:24:38] but we also want to see more GDQ. We want to see

[20:24:40] more epic speedruns and challenges

[20:24:42] so please assign your donations to

[20:24:44] especially the upgrade to level 1 critical mode.

[20:24:46] We would really appreciate it.

[20:24:49] So now we're here in the reverse caverns,

[20:24:51] making our way towards the reverse mines

[20:24:53] This is where the boss fight with death

[20:24:55] is that guy that we skipped at the very beginning of the run.

[20:24:58] It's not his time yet so we're going to have to do Death Skip again, what I like to call Death Skip 2.

[20:25:03] If Death Skip's so good...

[20:25:05] Might as well do it again.

[20:25:06] Why isn't there a Death Skip 2? Yeah, that's why we invented a Death Skip's so good, Might as well do it again.

[20:25:08] Why isn't there a Death Skip 2?

[20:25:10] Yeah that's why we invented a Death Skip 2 for this category exactly

[20:25:12] This area is very scary

[20:25:14] if I drop a Wing Smash, I die

[20:25:16] and like i said its a very complicated input. I'm constantly

[20:25:18] doing three-quarter circle motions on the D-pad

[20:25:20] while also trying to control my height in

[20:25:22] specific ways. I cannot stress how

[20:25:24] that is the hard part of most

[20:25:26] Symphony of the Night speedruns, is the wing smash control.

[20:25:29] So this trick is gonna

[20:25:31] be kind of difficult to explain.

[20:25:33] It's called a screen grab. So I'm getting him

[20:25:35] into second phase so he's out of my face. I do not want

[20:25:37] him anywhere near me.

[20:25:39] I'm going to use two Heart Refreshes if one Heart Refresh is broken,

[20:25:42] and two is probably also broken. That's not the right setup.

[20:25:46] I don't have a lot of time to set this up so I am a little nervous.

[20:25:53] Oh that should work okay so now from here i'm going to buffer each heart refresh input back-to-back now that i have two i can put one on each hand alternate

[20:25:58] hands um and out of the hard Refresh input you can buffer another

[20:26:01] input. So I'm constantly spamming these Heart Refresh inputs over and over again

[20:26:05] And you'll notice that Alucard is shifting to the left every single time a Heart Refresh animation

[20:26:09] plays but the camera's locked in place. This

[20:26:12] desyncs the camera and Alucard's position such that after a while

[20:26:16] when I let go and let the game return to normal speed

[20:26:20] the camera's going to snap to Alucard's position. But he's really far

[20:26:22] to the left and the collision of the game

[20:26:24] doesn't quite keep up and he'll fall through

[20:26:26] the floor in like within

[20:26:28] one frame essentially and it lets us go out of bounds

[20:26:30] And uh yeah this is a trick

[20:26:33] that requires a ton of hard refresh animations.

[20:26:35] This one's like 25 I think for this room.

[20:26:37] So you don't want to do it because it takes

[20:26:39] a long time unless you absolutely have to.

[20:26:41] There is one other way to skip death, but it's actually a minute

[20:26:44] slower because it requires the library card

[20:26:46] and then backtracking through the entirety of

[20:26:48] the first castle again and the second castle up

[20:26:50] to this point. So for the rest of this trick,

[20:26:52] this would be a great time for donations.

[20:26:54] Alrighty then I have a $250 donation here from...

[20:26:58] Is it Bejamis?

[20:27:00] Bejimus?

[20:27:02] Well they said let's go DB one of my favorite streamers playing one of my favorite games showing smooth movement and amazing tricks on the GDQ main stage for such a wonderful cause.

[20:27:11] Thank you for that $250. We also had $10 here from Dracula's Castle

[20:27:16] HR Director? Oh, no.

[20:27:18] I hate this guy. Yeah.

[20:27:19] They said the lesser demon was tired of being disrespected

[20:27:22] and has put in his two weeks notice.

[20:27:24] Looks like we need a new HR director director i mean like look it's it's expected

[20:27:28] it's disappointing but it's expected don't try to be lesser yeah i mean we've got an even more

[20:27:33] lesser demon that we're just going to bump, so you know. His loss.

[20:27:37] We're coming up on the end of this trick here,

[20:27:39] So take note of Alucard's position here

[20:27:41] I'm going to do an extra hard refresh just to be safe

[20:27:43] because if we fail this trick it's like a 3 minute time

[20:27:45] loss, so this should work.

[20:27:47] And slip on through and there we go! That is one of the tricks that I'm most

[20:27:55] nervous about. It should be free if I have the correct setup,

[20:27:58] but if you are ever so slightly wrong on your starting position

[20:28:02] it changes the number of heart refreshes

[20:28:04] you have to do and your positioning

[20:28:06] So...you kind of just have to wing it

[20:28:09] and hope that it works out, it's very consistent

[20:28:11] but the 98%

[20:28:13] chance for it to go right means

[20:28:15] there is a 100% chance for it to go wrong

[20:28:17] sometimes.

[20:28:19] That math checks out.

[20:28:20] But now that's like the last major skip of the run,

[20:28:23] and we get to enter phase two of this run which is kind

[20:28:26] of the reverse boss rush.

[20:28:28] Right now we're going to go from boss to boss

[20:28:30] and kind of just show them what's up.

[20:28:33] Tell them that

[20:28:33] we're tired of

[20:28:36] them existing, I guess? I'm not quite sure

[20:28:38] what the lore is here. Wait, that room was sick!

[20:28:41] Just all my boys hanging out...

[20:28:43] So we're coming up on

[20:28:45] hardest most difficult most crazy

[20:28:47] wild boss in the entire game

[20:28:49] Galamoth. He's the super secret super secret mega boss with more health than even

[20:28:53] the final boss dracula himself 12 000 hp and i'm honestly a little bit nervous if there only

[20:28:58] there was a way to oh yeah where are you going he's not supposed

[20:29:02] to go that way anyways yeah shield rod op we're

[20:29:05] invincible we're doing max caps down boss down without shieldrod that guy

[20:29:11] is such a jerk there is an ai like minute you can do to lock him in place

[20:29:15] but that boss fight legitimately with the equipment I have would take like 6 minutes

[20:29:20] versus 15 seconds

[20:29:22] But now... the next boss...

[20:29:25] Oh, the sound effect?

[20:29:25] Sorry, that sound was hilarious.

[20:29:27] Do you want to hear an even better one?

[20:29:28] I would please, yeah.

[20:29:29] Oh, I know what it is.

[20:29:31] Hold on, let me set it up.

[20:29:33] It's a good room!

[20:29:34] It's like when a skeleton is playing their ribcage

[20:29:36] like a xylophone.

[20:29:38] Yeah this game is full of all sorts of wonderful sound design

[20:29:40] music, sprite work

[20:29:42] it's literally a masterpiece of art, I love it to death

[20:29:45] it's my favorite video game of all time. I'm so happy to showcase it here for all you lovely folks

[20:29:49] and thank you all for donating to a fantastic cause! Like

[20:29:53] GDQ is the reason why I started speedrunning and the fact that it's still kicking many

[20:29:57] years later. I've been speedrunning this game a long time almost 11 years

[20:30:01] And I'm so happy to be apart of it

[20:30:03] Heck yeah

[20:30:04] Next boss coming up is Beelzebub, you might think

[20:30:06] no don't you mean Bielzabub? No its

[20:30:08] Beezlebub! It's a typo inside the game

[20:30:10] when you look him up in the bestiary

[20:30:12] He is a giant

[20:30:14] hanging decoded

[20:30:17] body who summons flies.

[20:30:19] He's really everybody's nightmare fuel if you've played

[20:30:21] this game as a young adult or child

[20:30:23] or even an adult! Full grown adult! You might

[20:30:25] still be scared. So you know...

[20:30:27] Honestly I'm scared.

[20:30:28] You have 8F there to hold you in case you are scared?

[20:30:32] Thank you for being honest with us.

[20:30:34] I have something that might cheer you up can I do my impression of Dragon Blitz?

[20:30:37] Yes, please.

[20:30:38] Please don't touch me!

[20:30:40] I got that from you bro!

[20:30:42] I'm literally copying you.

[20:30:44] Holy cow, I just thought there were two of you.

[20:30:46] The speed noises per minute density that has been on display in this run is incredible.

[20:30:53] Oh no, this is normally the laggiest room in the game if we were playing on PlayStation

[20:30:57] one of the reasons why playing on PlayStation can be a little bit sketchy

[20:31:00] in some places.

[20:31:01] By the way,

[20:31:02] if you do want to play

[20:31:02] on PlayStation,

[20:31:03] the route is exactly

[20:31:04] the same between Xbox

[20:31:05] and PlayStation

[20:31:06] which is really nice.

[20:31:07] There's a handful

[20:31:08] of minor differences.

[20:31:09] The Xbox version just loads faster and has less lag,

[20:31:12] which is one of the nice things.

[20:31:14] Another cool boss kill coming up here.

[20:31:16] What I'm doing here is die-kicking off of the enemy

[20:31:18] in midair to keep the shield inside of him as long as possible otherwise we would

[20:31:21] have like one or two ticks where the field wouldn't kill him in time and you'd have

[20:31:25] to like get back up there again and then he'd have a chance to actually fight back so

[20:31:29] um that's basically the uh long and short of how the boss fights are going to go in this run.

[20:31:35] We just want to get inside them with the shield,

[20:31:38] inside their face as quickly as possible

[20:31:40] and keep the shield inside of them until they die.

[20:31:42] There's various different ways to do that, and optimizations we can do

[20:31:46] like this next boss fight coming up here. This is the Castlevania 3 trio. If you've

[20:31:50] ever played Castlevania 3 it's all your friends but they're evil this time.

[20:31:53] Whaaat?

[20:31:55] The way that we are going to do this boss fight is we're actually gonna sweep from left to right

[20:31:59] essentially knocking the enemies into each other

[20:32:02] to just basically walk through the room like this.

[20:32:04] So we start with this guy, walk to the left, he gets knocked back

[20:32:08] then we sweep up to the top over there and they are donezo!

[20:32:12] The whole canon of the Castlevania anime just shuddered.

[20:32:16] Well, Grant wasn't even in it, so...

[20:32:17] Yeah, you know.

[20:32:19] Maybe in the Japanese version of the anime he's in it.

[20:32:22] Well, then he'd be targeting Ralph.

[20:32:23] Yeah.

[20:32:24] Shout out to

[20:32:24] Ralph Belmont,

[20:32:25] my favorite

[20:32:25] Belmondo.

[20:32:27] Hmm.

[20:32:29] Yeah,

[20:32:29] let's hear for

[20:32:30] Ralph.

[20:32:30] Yeah,

[20:32:31] let's give a

[20:32:31] round of

[20:32:31] applause please.

[20:32:32] Thank you,

[20:32:33] thank you.

[20:32:33] Ralph appreciates

[20:32:34] it.

[20:32:34] I'll let him

[20:32:34] know.

[20:32:35] Next boss fight is going to be Doppelganger 40.

[20:32:38] The 40, fun fact, denotes his level.

[20:32:41] Each enemy in this game does have a specific level

[20:32:44] and it is a mechanic that does matter, it determines how much

[20:32:46] experience you gain from the boss

[20:32:48] It's like Alucard, your character

[20:32:50] level minus their level

[20:32:52] and then some other math going on in the background

[20:32:54] determines how much experience you gain.

[20:32:56] So essentially, the higher level you are,

[20:32:58] the less experience you gain so that

[20:32:59] level scaling kind of like balances out.

[20:33:01] It's one of the reasons why we're not getting

[20:33:03] level ups all the time and primarily only

[20:33:05] on bosses nowadays, You know, the inflation

[20:33:07] on experience has gone crazy.

[20:33:09] You know what I'm saying?

[20:33:09] It's honestly the economy.

[20:33:11] Look,

[20:33:12] the Fed is just not doing enough

[20:33:14] to cap inflation

[20:33:14] on experience curves.

[20:33:16] I've been saying this.

[20:33:17] Thank you. thank you.

[20:33:18] Another fun fact about Doppelganger 40 is he's so linked

[20:33:21] with the other version of Doppelganger back in

[20:33:23] The First Castle we had to skip him by using

[20:33:25] the library card but we're going to skip him again,

[20:33:29] and to explain why that is,

[20:33:31] I can't. That's the fun part.

[20:33:33] I don't know why this is a thing.

[20:33:35] We're just gonna be invincible, get in his face, use

[20:33:37] the stopwatch to freeze him in place then kill him. And I'm going to look at

[20:33:40] the system menu here

[20:33:42] time attack you'll notice Doppelganger 10

[20:33:44] and doppelganger 40 were defeated on

[20:33:46] same frame they are soul late so

[20:33:48] essentially he's gone there is is no Doppelganger 10.

[20:33:51] Again, we tried our best

[20:33:53] to make this reverse boss order work

[20:33:54] but that's another one of those edge cases where

[20:33:56] you cannot kill Doppelganger 40 before killing

[20:33:58] Doppelganger 10 or else Doppelganger 10 never spawns i'll even

[20:34:02] showcase the boss room later uh because this run has actually been kind of killing it we're

[20:34:06] probably way ahead of schedule and it's like a 20 second detour but i'll show you he does not spawn at all wait we're way

[20:34:13] ahead of estimate zen can i get an update on that kingdom hearts incentive because we're running out

[20:34:16] of time here yeah we definitely are we are at 43 355. of the 100,000 needed.

[20:34:22] That is 56,000 remaining. I actually have a message here

[20:34:26] from The Runner Ninten866 just to tell you how amazing the upgrade

[20:34:30] to level 1 Critical Mode In mode incentive is. They said

[20:34:33] that the level 1 makes the game extremely

[20:34:35] high stakes and intense on every fight

[20:34:37] just beating the game at level 1 at all

[20:34:39] is a huge task that not many people

[20:34:41] can do so we're basically doing a challenge run

[20:34:44] while speedrunning. Every fight will be

[20:34:46] difficult to get through. Edge of

[20:34:48] your seat speedrun, quote unquote.

[20:34:50] You definitely want to see it.

[20:34:52] Make sure you put your donations in now and select

[20:34:54] that incentive at the bottom of the page we need your help now i mean i want to

[20:34:58] say that look i want to do that too i'm sold

[20:35:02] we got any kh fans in the audience tonight?

[20:35:05] Love me some Kingdom Hearts. Let's go!

[20:35:09] Yeah, get that incentive met people I wanna see it! So where are we heading now? We just killed Death

[20:35:13] kinda... Yeah, Death- it was finally his time.

[20:35:16] Death comes for us all, including Death.

[20:35:18] Yeah, who takes him to the great beyond?

[20:35:20] Me!

[20:35:21] So, now we're heading towards

[20:35:24] Creature. So, now we've kind of hit the Castlevania 1 retrains, if you will.

[20:35:29] You know?

[20:35:29] Got to rehash the old stuff so that way the boomers can look at the screen and go,

[20:35:33] oh my gosh, I remember that!

[20:35:35] It's the reason why...

[20:35:36] IT'S FLEEMAN!!!

[20:35:38] Is that Dragonblitz?

[20:35:39] That's me.

[20:35:40] That's Dragonblitz dude, he's the boomer.

[20:35:43] So they retrained a lot of the old Castlevania 1 bosses.

[20:35:47] This is creature minus the flea man that accompanies him, he's dead now.

[20:35:52] His screen kind of sounds like Hank Hill going whoa!

[20:35:56] Just me?

[20:35:58] Alright, I'm crazy.

[20:36:02] You play the same game over and over again

[20:36:04] you start to hear things in

[20:36:06] the static of the game Yeah You know what I'm saying? Anybody? Yeah, I know what you're saying.

[20:36:09] I don't know that Hank Hill's scream is like his

[20:36:11] most defining feature. What?!

[20:36:13] Last time I fought Creature, I was like, wow, this guy looks like he

[20:36:15] loves propane and propane accessories.

[20:36:18] No, don't tell me. I'll tell you what,

[20:36:19] you better be donating to that upgrade

[20:36:20] to level one critical mode incentive.

[20:36:22] We really could use that help right now.

[20:36:23] That was really good!

[20:36:25] Okay,

[20:36:25] I'm so glad Zen did that

[20:36:27] because I was going to do mine

[20:36:28] and it is 100 times worse also how much

[20:36:31] we donate to hear yours uh a hundred bucks we'll give it a shot

[20:36:34] hundred dollar donation we can hear asap scale kill i want to hear this now

[20:36:39] no you know what instead okay where are we at on the kh2 incentive all right currently

[20:36:43] we still need fifty five thousand eight hundred oh sorry fifty five thousand dollars we still

[20:36:47] need is the main point here let's get to 60k

[20:36:51] and I'll do it. 60k for our 8F's

[20:36:54] horrible Hank Hill impression. Let's go.

[20:36:55] Alrighty, we need a 60k total there. That's about

[20:36:58] 16,000 more. I mean, Twitch chat

[20:37:00] audience, I know we can make it happen but are you going to put your energy into it?

[20:37:02] Can I trust you?

[20:37:03] We could do this right?

[20:37:05] Give me some energy, audience!

[20:37:07] Let's go!

[20:37:09] It's really bad.

[20:37:11] If it is bad, I'm excited.

[20:37:12] If it's bad enough can we get VDef up here?

[20:37:15] Yeah he just is not...I could check my phone but he's just not

[20:37:18] We got a budget.

[20:37:21] Honestly the price for his appearance fee is kind of wild.

[20:37:24] I asked him

[20:37:25] but some people are just...

[20:37:27] They make it and then they forget about you.

[20:37:30] Speaking of people who have made it

[20:37:31] we got Awkwadon here

[20:37:33] all the way from Castlevania 1

[20:37:35] making it into...

[20:37:35] He's made it bro!

[20:37:36] He has made it.

[20:37:37] He's made it.

[20:37:38] He got the call for this game and was so excited to show up

[20:37:41] he is dead now.

[20:37:42] But his animation,

[20:37:43] his death animation is like they definitely spent like a week on it

[20:37:46] his thanos snap out of existence beautiful not feeling so good mr stark

[20:37:53] big adventures fan oh That was personally painful.

[20:37:56] Yeah.

[20:37:58] From here, we are winding down

[20:38:00] the second castle which means

[20:38:02] one castle after this left

[20:38:04] full of bosses and and then the final boss Dracula.

[20:38:07] So we keep blazing through these bosses right now.

[20:38:10] How many bosses do we got left DB?

[20:38:12] Don't ask me that question.

[20:38:13] Count them now.

[20:38:14] Look at what I've got on my left right.

[20:38:15] I just look at my splits and do what the splits tell me to do.

[20:38:17] Bro is asleep with his live split layout.

[20:38:25] So we do have Darkwing Bat coming up next here.

[20:38:28] After that there's all the First Castle bosses.

[20:38:31] You know them!

[20:38:32] You taught me Ada if you're a big fan of this game.

[20:38:34] Huge fan.

[20:38:36] Presumably there is Medusa.

[20:38:39] We already did Medusa, that was earlier.

[20:38:41] Well I just like her so much.

[20:38:42] Oh you know who there is?

[20:38:45] There's a guy with an axe

[20:38:47] who's like a minotaur or something there's like a guy with an axe who is like a minotaur or something.

[20:38:49] There's also a skeleton, where there's like a group of skeletons.

[20:38:54] You're thinking of Dark Souls 2?

[20:38:56] That's right! I confuse the two all the time.

[20:38:58] They are very similar. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah That's right, I often confuse the two all the time.

[20:38:59] They're very similar.

[20:39:00] Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah this is...

[20:39:01] Similar lore, similar art style vibe, yeah.

[20:39:04] Yeah unlike Majula, Castle, Unclear with This Witch.

[20:39:07] What is your favorite skeleton lord?

[20:39:09] My favorite skeleton lord? that'd be me.

[20:39:12] Okay now we're finally heading back to the first castle

[20:39:16] all of the bosses in the second castle have been defeated

[20:39:18] going back to the first castle, what is the next boss?

[20:39:21] I'm thinking

[20:39:23] Karasumon? No, it's not Karasumon.

[20:39:26] Um...

[20:39:27] I feel like we're forgetting somebody important

[20:39:29] here. Who could it be? Oh, you know what it is?

[20:39:32] Richter. Yeah, Richter, yeah.

[20:39:36] He just doesn't spawn in from the left

[20:39:38] for whatever reason. He goes super

[20:39:40] sane at the beginning. Good.

[20:39:42] I assume he's just going to get shielded to death or He goes super saiyan at the beginning. Good for him.

[20:39:44] I assume he's just going to get shielded to death or something.

[20:39:45] No, actually.

[20:39:47] He is controlled by the dark priest shaft,

[20:39:48] that guy that we killed earlier.

[20:39:48] Uh... He sent like his phantom form

[20:39:50] to go control uh...

[20:39:51] B-shaft.

[20:39:51] Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah yes so that shaft encounter is essentially just an orb

[20:39:56] with 10 hp so we just do 10 hp 10 ticks of damage

[20:40:01] uh to him by the way shield. Thank you for reminding me.

[20:40:04] I will do that. Yeah we do 10

[20:40:06] ticks of damage. It's a good thing you're here.

[20:40:09] 10 ticks of damage to it

[20:40:10] and then it dissipates and that's it because

[20:40:12] if we actually killed him as the boss fight

[20:40:14] that is intended, uh...we get the bad ending! And we still have more bosses so

[20:40:18] we can't get the bad ending. So our compromise is that we save Richter

[20:40:22] and that's considered the boss fight. Let's go!

[20:40:25] This is one of the few categories that actually saves Richter, because he isn't

[20:40:29] considered a boss, because this game uses the time attack menu

[20:40:33] I showed you earlier as like, the de facto way

[20:40:36] to determine a major event

[20:40:38] in this game, like killing a boss. But

[20:40:40] saving Richter doesn't say defeat Richter, it says

[20:40:42] save Richter! Where all the other bosses say

[20:40:44] defeat blank boss.

[20:40:46] So because of that Richter usually doesn't make

[20:40:48] the cut but because we're trying to abide by

[20:40:50] the boss order as

[20:40:52] cleanly as we can to make an entertaining run

[20:40:54] that's fun to play and also fun to showcase.

[20:40:57] Richter makes the cut, which is...

[20:40:59] That's kind of cool.

[20:40:59] That's a big day for him.

[20:41:01] Huge.

[20:41:01] Richter stock's going up, everybody.

[20:41:04] Okay, this is Shield Raw time.

[20:41:06] So because that cutscene with saving Richter happened it deactivated my shield rod and essentially reloads Alucard in which disables the shield rod

[20:41:15] In my defense is not a ton of skeletons?

[20:41:17] It's technically bodies.

[20:41:19] Look at the background right now.

[20:41:20] Those are the skeletons but the boss itself is bodies.

[20:41:22] You don't get to see the boss for very long so I don't...

[20:41:24] Dragon Blitz!

[20:41:26] Actually his name is Granfuluneful i was talking about you

[20:41:33] so there's grand flume down uh next boss coming up

[20:41:37] is going to be All Rocks,

[20:41:40] the other vampire

[20:41:42] lord of the castle. I don't know what he's doing here.

[20:41:44] I think honestly he's kind of just squatting.

[20:41:46] He found a castle and he said you know what? I'll move in.

[20:41:48] We'll see what happens in season 2

[20:41:50] Squatters

[20:41:52] They are going to finally address the squatter rights

[20:41:54] in Transylvania

[20:41:56] Is this canonically in Transylvania?

[20:41:58] Good question Or is it just an ambiguous eastern european

[20:42:02] country no i think it's is in transylvania okay in this game other games and it's up

[20:42:06] in the air really castlevania is kind of more of a vibe. It really is.

[20:42:12] Should I do

[20:42:14] a funny voice? Yeah, you should do a funny voice.

[20:42:16] Go for it!

[20:42:17] I like that one! Let's go dude!

[20:42:21] Okay.

[20:42:24] I wake up every day and say,

[20:42:25] should I do a funny voice?

[20:42:28] I had to double check my notes.

[20:42:30] I have the route like 95% memorized.

[20:42:33] Again, like I said, I rerouted a lot of it and on top of that the boss order is so arbitrary

[20:42:35] like no speedrun

[20:42:37] in its right mind would go all the way down to

[20:42:39] the catacombs and then say you know where I want to go next?

[20:42:41] All rocks as quarters. like the exact opposite side of

[20:42:44] the castle so there's a lot of like zigzagging around uh to get from boss to boss as determined

[20:42:50] but it does make for some fun rooms to move through. It's another reason how I love

[20:42:54] this game, because this game has such

[20:42:57] fluid movement for a 2D game.

[20:42:58] It's incredible. It has momentum

[20:43:00] preservation out of any horizontal

[20:43:02] movement. You have the wing smashes,

[20:43:04] which is a huge skill ceiling optimization

[20:43:06] for top-level runners.

[20:43:07] You even have out-the-gate shield dashings,

[20:43:09] something to do in between

[20:43:11] before getting all the overpowered movement.

[20:43:13] It's incredibly fun to play through even if you just want

[20:43:16] to like casually play through the game but utilize the movement options to their fullest

[20:43:19] it's so much fun genuinely recommend it next up we got Succubus, which is all the way in the Catacombs,

[20:43:30] which is this direction.

[20:43:32] On the way there you think it got a few moments for donations?

[20:43:35] Sure thing. Fantastic! Here's $5 from Heat Blaze that said on the way there you think i got a few moments for donations sure thing fantastic here's five

[20:43:37] dollars from heat blaze that said five dollar train to the kh2 upgrade and along the same

[20:43:42] thoughts five dollars from bert ftw let's hit 5 train to 1 million.

[20:43:47] $50 here from Yoke Emoto

[20:43:49] that said, I missed the last few $5 trains

[20:43:51] so here's 10 trains worth

[20:43:53] and $10 from Lima

[20:43:55] that said choo-choo!

[20:43:57] We can definitely make it happen.

[20:43:57] We are currently at 48,000 of the 100,000 needed.

[20:44:00] That means we still need 51K and let me tell you if

[20:44:03] we get to 60,000 in that raise,

[20:44:04] we're going to get the greatest Hank Hill impression

[20:44:07] you have ever heard.

[20:44:09] Right, Adaf?

[20:44:11] Yeah.

[20:44:13] So... I did a little bit of a fib.

[20:44:15] I lied. It wasn't actually succubus.

[20:44:17] It was Cerberus! They kind of sound the same.

[20:44:22] There's the dog, we pet the dog he loves us so much

[20:44:24] he bursts into flames out of excitement

[20:44:26] Let's hear it for dogs everybody

[20:44:28] Shoutout to Peanut Butter.

[20:44:32] Loves us so much he bursts into flames.

[20:44:34] Don't you do that?

[20:44:35] That's some biblical garbage.

[20:44:37] If I loved fire...

[20:44:39] There's a lot of biblical stuff in this game, so I think it's accurate.

[20:44:41] Yeah!

[20:44:43] Yeah there's like crosses and holy stuff or whatever

[20:44:45] Now it's succubus time

[20:44:49] Another Biblical thing NOW IT'S SUCCUBUS TIME Everyone's favorite Bible. Another biblical thing, now it's succubus time!

[20:44:52] I remember that, it's my favorite Bible quote. Hold on...

[20:44:56] Oh, it's succubus time. Funny thing about this game in Bible quotes actually

[20:45:00] Oh? Oh yeah, that's a good story this is a

[20:45:03] good story so in the end credits in the uh english

[20:45:06] version of the game dracula quotes matthew 1626 at the very

[20:45:10] end and for the longest time,

[20:45:12] the any% run was hovering around like 17 minutes

[20:45:15] a little into the 1650s and I kind of

[20:45:18] took it upon myself to find a lot of timesaves

[20:45:21] to get down to around that 1626 mark.

[20:45:24] I never thought I'd actually hit it, and then after

[20:45:26] a while we eventually did get

[20:45:28] a run that was exactly 1626.

[20:45:30] So for awhile the world record

[20:45:32] was 1626 and at the end of the run, Dracula even

[20:45:35] calls out the timer of 1626.

[20:45:36] That was Succubus by the way, you know. We library

[20:45:38] card out to skip the animation of us loading back

[20:45:41] into the regular castle because we're in the nightmare zone.

[20:45:43] You know a little thing about

[20:45:44] the night there's one right i have had a nightmare every night in this hotel

[20:45:48] since we got here well i'm sorry i haven't had a hotel or a hotel good lord

[20:45:52] i haven't had a nightmare in like two years and yet yet I'm-I'm like six for six this week.

[20:45:55] I'm hoping for seven for seven tonight. Are you feeling alright, man?

[20:45:58] I feel fine! I've had a great week.

[20:46:00] They're honestly getting exciting. Are they scary?

[20:46:02] Yes, but every single one has had some

[20:46:04] kind of thing for me to defeat at the end so i wake up feeling resolute

[20:46:07] um and uh excited i think i know what your nightmare is going to be tonight

[20:46:12] it's gonna be something about a little bit of cocaine

[20:46:22] i can't wait to hear the, you know, save children from a burning building that's exploding with propane and hand kill is there. And you have to do your handkill impression to save the children.

[20:46:24] And I might...you know, that's going to be a tough decision. That's going to

[20:46:28] be a tough decision to make.

[20:46:30] To save children? I'll save the kids.

[20:46:32] Alright, let's hear it for saving the kids. Let's hear it for

[20:46:34] saving the kids. Let's get some donations for

[20:46:36] MSF.

[20:46:42] Happy to read a few out if we have a moment go right ahead we're just going some bosses vibing with some friends you know does we got a $50

[20:46:46] donation here from our great friend Anonymous that said,

[20:46:49] A bad Hank Hill impression and an impossible Kingdom Hearts run for the price of one donation?

[20:46:54] So much value.

[20:46:56] Also had a $25 donation from Wizzy here that said always wanted to see runners in pain. Level 1 KH, go!

[20:47:04] Also Adaf talking about propane needs to happen. Right now we're at 50 thousand000 out of the 100,000.

[20:47:10] 10,000 more and we hear an incredible impression. We're close to it.

[20:47:14] Man I'm like low key stressed because

[20:47:18] what if its actually good and that's disappointing?

[20:47:21] Or, what if it's so bad that it's disappointing? You're in your head. It'll be great.

[20:47:25] I gotta do some kind of acting exercise. Get out of my head. Do you want to hear

[20:47:29] a fun fact? Yeah, I'd love to hear a fun fact.

[20:47:32] If you transform into Bat in this room before the cutscene starts

[20:47:34] You softlocked the game!

[20:47:36] Uh...I can't anymore

[20:47:38] We considered joking by soft-locking the game

[20:47:40] There he is That's a boss.

[20:47:42] Oh, that's a boss I had mentioned.

[20:47:44] Half of it! You mentioned Minotaur but you forgot his friend.

[20:47:46] I knew there was two guys!

[20:47:48] You didn't even mention Minotaur, you mentioned minotour-like guy.

[20:47:50] Well is he not? Would you say Dragonblitz is not

[20:47:53] a human-like guy? Not frequently. No I don't think I would say that

[20:47:57] But is it correct? Like yeah if I had to testify that

[20:48:01] Your honor my client is a human-like

[20:48:04] guy. Watch yourself

[20:48:08] counselor.

[20:48:11] Okay what's next?'s next we got silla oh sylla we all love sila right guys yeah the wiggly

[20:48:18] water lady wiggly water lady um remember that floor clip that i did a while ago to get into

[20:48:23] the caverns of course it's a little fuzzy actually

[20:48:25] showed me to me again oh sure since we're here might as well

[20:48:31] no way i went through that's the one. That is wild.

[20:48:36] Those floor discs are

[20:48:36] wild.

[20:48:37] I can't even

[20:48:39] begin to explain

[20:48:40] how difficult

[20:48:40] those are.

[20:48:41] The map

[20:48:41] buffering helps,

[20:48:42] but again you're

[20:48:43] still having to do

[20:48:44] frame perfect inputs

[20:48:45] for the map offering.

[20:48:47] Lots of fun time here.

[20:48:48] So this is Scylla Worm, not silly yet.

[20:48:52] Can I give you a Fun Fact TV?

[20:48:54] Sure.

[20:48:54] This is actually a fun fact for everybody.

[20:48:56] Twitch.tv slash dr4

[20:48:57] g-o-n b-l-i

[20:48:59] t-z that's Dragon Blitz

[20:49:01] excellent content and there's a YouTube

[20:49:03] channel with amazing

[20:49:05] huge backlog of wonderful videos to watch on castlevania speedrunning history all

[20:49:09] kinds of other speedruns uh youtube just search dragonblitz and twitch go to dragon blitz i want

[20:49:14] to see some follows some subscribes uh. And I'm gonna say it

[20:49:18] I'll cry if you don't do it

[20:49:20] He'll cry if you do it as well

[20:49:22] So no matter what, it kinda works out

[20:49:24] Yeah but that's just like my state

[20:49:26] That's just my default state Sorry didn't mean to like out you know

[20:49:29] i'm a human-like creature so it's true aren't we all any human-like creatures in the chat

[20:49:33] yeah even like features let's hear it sound off your human light feature

[20:49:39] we sometimes wake up in the morning and I feel like a monster

[20:49:42] like creature, am I right?

[20:49:45] Yeah, yeah.

[20:49:47] Seriously.

[20:49:48] I can't wait until I've had my coffee.

[20:49:49] You can't wake up 90 minutes before having your morning coffee?

[20:49:53] Yeah, yeah, I'll die!

[20:49:56] Next up is Hippogriff. So you might have noticed that Scylla boss fight

[20:49:59] I literally just wing smashed

[20:50:01] into the boss and then the boss died.

[20:50:03] That boss for whatever reason just has very low HP

[20:50:05] I think they were worried about how difficult

[20:50:07] the boss would be so they scaled it down HP wise

[20:50:09] This boss however I think has no excuse

[20:50:11] for having as much HP as it does.

[20:50:12] Obviously we are going to melt it

[20:50:14] but from a casual perspective

[20:50:15] this is like a Dark Souls level boss

[20:50:17] with like a Dark Souls level run back.

[20:50:19] Like there's no save room anywhere nearby.

[20:50:21] It's probably the hardest part of the game

[20:50:22] and it's near the beginning, funny enough.

[20:50:25] This is where normally

[20:50:26] in a sane world

[20:50:28] that is not a wacko universe

[20:50:30] that we live in

[20:50:31] we would go fight Doppelganger 10, but

[20:50:33] he is not with us

[20:50:35] right now. He's on vacation.

[20:50:37] He heard that his good friend

[20:50:39] Doppelganger 40 couldn't make it, so

[20:50:41] he decided to go look for him.

[20:50:44] If you ask don't tell him anything guys right? We're cool like...

[20:50:48] He's in the big castle in the sky. Yeah well that's the second castle actually yeah.

[20:50:52] He's in a third big castle in the sky. Well there there is a third castle and we can get there with flitches but...

[20:50:54] He's in the fourth big castle in the sky.

[20:50:56] Okay, I don't think we have a fourth castle.

[20:50:58] 0-7s for Doppelganger 10.

[20:51:00] 0-7s.

[20:51:02] This is the final boss by the way everybody. Well the first boss but the final boss and they're gone.

[20:51:06] They were too strong we had to skip Slogger and Gaibon.

[20:51:08] Yeah we have to go power up do our anime training arc before we can finally face them.

[20:51:12] And did we skip the life max up?

[20:51:16] We did.

[20:51:17] Nice, nice.

[20:51:18] If you leave the room fast enough there's a life max

[20:51:19] that drops on your head but if you're fast enough to

[20:51:21] leave with the library card it doesn't drop

[20:51:23] on your head and save like 90 frames.

[20:51:25] That's a lot! Can you count to 90, chat?

[20:51:26] No. Start now. Well hey they could if we start

[20:51:30] putting some more donations towards that upgrade to level critical. Could we please

[20:51:34] start a donation train starting at one getting to 90 in order can you do it

[20:51:40] i believe in you you ever played those games where you try to like count to 10 but uh you

[20:51:45] can't like look at each other and then...

[20:51:47] Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

[20:51:49] Is that on the PS1?

[20:51:52] If it's on the PS1, we might've played it.

[20:51:54] Yeah, I played it.

[20:51:55] You know with how big the library is

[20:51:57] I wouldn't doubt it.

[20:51:58] Oh yeah! Doppelganger 10 let me go show him real quick. This is like a 20 second detour but

[20:52:02] I'm not lying he's gone forever. He will not come back. What is the game counting to ten?

[20:52:06] It's like a group trust building exercise where you close your eyes in

[20:52:09] a circle and try to count to 10 without saying any numbers at the same time so you can't like

[20:52:13] communicate at all and you're trying to each individually work together to count to 10

[20:52:16] without saying a number at the same time i spent so much

[20:52:19] time on this area this is where doppelganger normally would be but he

[20:52:23] is mia right now so like he's actually just gone uh it's one of

[20:52:27] the things that makes this category very silly.

[20:52:29] It's a category extension for a reason, but...

[20:52:31] Every speedrun is arbitrary.

[20:52:32] Of course! At the end of the day you know...

[20:52:34] The words any percent didn't mean anything until somebody decided they did.

[20:52:37] Exactly. But at the end of the day this is a very fun,

[20:52:39] very interesting category in my opinion.

[20:52:42] It gets to show off how powerful the glitches

[20:52:44] in this game are if you sit down and really

[20:52:47] put your nose on the grindstone

[20:52:49] and figure out all these frame perfect

[20:52:50] pixel-perfect setups And as just a matter of fact put your nose to the grindstone and figure out all these frame perfect pixel

[20:52:51] perfect setups and as just a massive fan of this game

[20:52:54] in this games community and so many of the

[20:52:56] uh people around the speedrunning communities the whole is the whole

[20:52:59] reason i'm here and i again, so happy to be here

[20:53:02] showcasing this run

[20:53:03] for you guys.

[20:53:03] Hey!

[20:53:04] We don't have to skip

[20:53:04] Richter anymore.

[20:53:05] Yay!

[20:53:06] No more Richter skill.

[20:53:07] Let's go.

[20:53:08] Coming up here

[20:53:09] is like a backtrack

[20:53:10] to the area

[20:53:11] where Shaft was, because that's

[20:53:13] where the Dracula fight is from. If you remember, I don't know, 30 minutes ago?

[20:53:17] But heading up to that there's not a whole lot going on

[20:53:21] so this will be another fantastic time for some donations.

[20:53:24] Alrighty, here is a $2000 donation from you guys!

[20:53:28] Let's go! They said let's see that terrible Hank Hill

[20:53:32] impression. Oh my god. They pushed us to 52,500 of the 100,000 needed so we still need about 7,500 but we can absolutely make it happen before

[20:53:40] the end of this run I personally challenge all of you to make it happen before the end of this run. I personally challenge all of you to make it happen before the end of this run

[20:53:45] We also had a $25

[20:53:47] donation from Anonymous that said

[20:53:48] How much does Twitch chat need to donate for

[20:53:51] Zen to read out Dracula's

[20:53:52] What is a man speech in the hand kill voice? Oh I'd love

[20:53:56] to see that. If we reach that 60k

[20:53:57] I will absolutely do it.

[20:54:00] Fair trade. We absolutely need

[20:54:02] to reach that level 1 critical mode upgrade

[20:54:03] It's such a great run none of you understand because I cannot articulate

[20:54:06] well enough how amazing that run is but I really want to get us there

[20:54:10] I believe we can do it before the start of that run. You'll have time for the daily recap

[20:54:14] after that but that's not much we're getting there it's running

[20:54:17] out okay this is going to be one of the last tricks of the run it's that reverse shift line

[20:54:23] again nice we got it so, this pushes us out of bounds

[20:54:28] by skipping an entire room, puts us in the ceiling

[20:54:30] and then we fly across the ceiling

[20:54:32] here. Two, three, four,

[20:54:35] five wing smashes,

[20:54:36] a brief flash and then we're there.

[20:54:38] And now all that's standing in our way is

[20:54:40] Shaft again but as I said earlier

[20:54:42] we can't fight him so if you remember

[20:54:44] that trick we did earlier to skip past

[20:54:46] death? We're going to be doing that again,

[20:54:48] that screen grab glitch where we desync the camera a lot

[20:54:51] so this is another fantastic time for a LOT of donations

[20:54:54] This is gonna be like two minutes

[20:54:57] Alrighty then here's a $25 donation from Memph that said,

[20:55:00] Adaph doing a hand-kill impression? That boy ain't right.

[20:55:04] We have a $250 donation from Quev

[20:55:08] that says I'm excited to hear

[20:55:09] ADF's hand kill impression.

[20:55:11] $50 for Wilson

[20:55:12] that said,

[20:55:12] can we get a $5

[20:55:13] hand kill hype train?

[20:55:15] And I guess

[20:55:16] for Kingdom Hearts 2

[20:55:17] donating 10 tickets

[20:55:18] for both of them.

[20:55:18] Mike Judge fans

[20:55:19] rise up baby! Let's go!

[20:55:23] $100 donation from Frequently Bees

[20:55:25] that said give us the Hank Hill impression

[20:55:27] A-DEF

[20:55:29] $100 from Mark that said the people want to hear

[20:55:31] the bad Hank Hill impression.

[20:55:33] $50 from Cute Fuzzy that said this should buy some

[20:55:36] propane and propane accessories.

[20:55:38] Can't wait to hear it, 8F!

[20:55:40] And also a $25 donation here from Prince of Kisses that said

[20:55:43] Question for DB

[20:55:44] Which Symphony Of The Night monster is the most ADef-like?

[20:55:49] Oh gosh...

[20:55:51] I'm gonna guess guess Flea Rider.

[20:55:55] Flea Rider?

[20:55:56] Caveman was not going to say Flea Rider.

[20:55:58] I want to be clear on that.

[20:56:00] No, we were on the perfect wavelength there.

[20:56:01] You're kind of being weird about this.

[20:56:04] It was definitely Flea adjacent. I should not have said it on the perfect wavelength. You're kind of being weird about this. It was definitely flea adjacent.

[20:56:05] I should not have sat on this couch. You're wearing green.

[20:56:06] Yeah, that doesn't help.

[20:56:07] You're wearing like a Flea Man cosplay right now.

[20:56:10] I never leave home without my Flea Man cosplay.

[20:56:14] I know!

[20:56:14] That's why you're on the couch.

[20:56:16] Everybody knew you were doing the Flea Man cosplay today.

[20:56:18] Yeah.

[20:56:21] I think we just have a couple more hard refreshes here

[20:56:23] before we're pushed through the floor.

[20:56:26] Hopefully this works out.

[20:56:27] I was supposed to count the number of heart refreshes,

[20:56:29] but this looks about right.

[20:56:30] You know where you are.

[20:56:32] I've had thousands of hours in this game and it worked well!

[20:56:34] Yay! Sometimes you do vibe-based glitch I've had thousands of hours in this game, and it worked! Wow.

[20:56:36] Sometimes you do vibe-based glitches and it works out.

[20:56:39] But this is the end of the run again.

[20:56:41] I want to thank GDQ, I wanna thank the crowd being here

[20:56:44] I wanna thank ADef and Caveman

[20:56:46] I wanna thank everybody who is donating for this wonderful cause.

[20:56:47] Thank you all so much

[20:56:48] for making this possible,

[20:56:49] I'm so happy to get to showcase

[20:56:50] my favorite game in front of you all.

[20:57:29] And that is,

[20:57:32] I'm going to be upset now.

[20:57:34] I'll tell you what.

[20:57:35] I'll tell you what.

[20:57:38] I'm gonna sell that boy some propane.

[20:57:38] Oh,

[20:58:18] how's it going games done quick and welcome to our red bull daily recap for an absolutely

[20:58:24] incredible and packed thursday so my name is ruby hart and i am joined by two

[20:58:29] absolutely wonderful fellow hosts so we've've got Brutal Mello

[20:58:33] and Kung Fu Fruit Cup. Hi. How did y'all enjoy the day?

[20:58:37] Today was awesome! We have some things to go over

[20:58:41] I know a lot of people here were involved

[20:58:44] or around for some of the runs

[20:58:46] today, so it's not going to surprise you

[20:58:48] as to some of the things we want to talk about.

[20:58:49] But maybe we have some other things that you were like,

[20:58:51] I missed this and this is why we do this whole thing.

[20:58:53] Absolutely! So overnight I know we had anything from Silly Block to some

[20:58:58] absolutely incredible games. Melo, you are popping off about Talos Principle

[20:59:02] Yeah... Oh my gosh, talus principle is just so good

[20:59:06] it was a goaded couch i mean the homie bobby was on the on the couch the whole run was so cool we

[20:59:12] got a clip actually that i want to pull up and talk to you about.

[20:59:15] So, there's a really cool trick in this game

[20:59:17] I'm going to get the name right

[20:59:18] It's called...

[20:59:20] Clumping

[20:59:22] So what is gonna happen is

[20:59:23] By opening and closing photo mode

[20:59:25] You lose vertical momentum for just a single frame.

[20:59:28] So you're able to jump right in that frame.

[20:59:30] It's a frame perfect trick.

[20:59:31] That's what that was!

[20:59:32] Yeah, breaks the whole game wide open.

[20:59:33] You constantly see the character popping back

[20:59:35] in as they go in and out of photo mode.

[20:59:37] It lets you get all that forward momentum.

[20:59:39] And I want to bring to note, if you noticed this was the very beginning

[20:59:43] of the run. This was 3-2-1 countdown. We're quumping.

[20:59:46] Wow.

[20:59:47] So yeah, Talos Principle was just nonstop bangers,

[20:59:51] glitches and tricks.

[20:59:52] I hosted for the first Talos Principle a couple of events

[20:59:55] ago with Azurae.

[20:59:56] But yeah this is such a good run.

[20:59:59] That's the silly term and so I'm going to go

[21:00:00] into silly block because this is called

[21:00:02] Muscle March and if you're wondering

[21:00:05] what's happening, so were the rest of us

[21:00:06] but not only was this a fantastic run, it was a whole block.

[21:00:09] This is our all levels by Juho. We had Barbie. We had Golf It! We had Mad Panic Coaster

[21:00:13] we have Birds Aren't Real The Game. We had a ton of other games. It was a huge block

[21:00:17] of awesome games and went all the way up to Stuart little too

[21:00:20] But if you just I just watched until the end here for the actual takedown coming up. I don't even this

[21:00:27] Here it was such a good character.

[21:00:29] So,

[21:00:29] I'm not sure what's going on

[21:00:30] but I loved it.

[21:00:32] Oh,

[21:00:32] I loved it.

[21:00:33] It was so,

[21:00:34] it just,

[21:00:34] this is like the vibe

[21:00:36] Is that a baby

[21:00:36] on a UFO?

[21:00:37] Yes,

[21:00:37] and not only that

[21:00:38] but like

[21:00:39] we have some great pictures

[21:00:39] we're gonna go over

[21:00:40] But the couches were also so good. It's just immaculate

[21:00:43] And like so committed to the bit

[21:00:45] Everybody was super involved

[21:00:47] Just wait till y'all see these pictures

[21:00:49] Yeah oh yeah okay let's move on because we have more.

[21:00:51] So after that

[21:00:54] we had an absolutely amazing prime time

[21:00:56] so of course we had

[21:00:57] ADAPT of our crew with the legendary run

[21:01:00] popping off.

[21:01:01] But we had a run that so many of us anticipated,

[21:01:04] because it is a PB for GameStorm Quick

[21:01:07] for PB and J to run Ken Griffey Presents Major League Baseball. So we had a live dog

[21:01:13] on our speed running stage named

[21:01:15] Peanut Butter who has

[21:01:17] custom specially made

[21:01:19] controller and has learned how to

[21:01:21] hit button, so this is a moment

[21:01:24] of a final home run

[21:01:26] in the game where the audience

[21:01:28] if you watch just pops off to the

[21:01:30] point where a few of them almost fall on the ground

[21:01:32] like a level of enthusiasm I. And I mean, going

[21:01:34] into the 12th inning as

[21:01:36] a tie like all the way up to the end of

[21:01:38] the game and then hitting that home run was incredible.

[21:01:40] It's just one of those nail biter baseball games.

[21:01:42] This room was so packed, we had the audience cam

[21:01:45] running around, we were doing waves

[21:01:47] we were doing the 7th inning stretch tag

[21:01:49] me out to the ball game

[21:01:51] yeah it was just so much fun

[21:01:53] yep and I just I'm'm gonna give a personal shout out they shot the cutest videos with me in

[21:01:59] the past few events and I greatly appreciate you.

[21:02:01] So yeah we had some amazing games. And yeah, definitely check this one out if you have a chance.

[21:02:08] Wait wait wait wait wait.

[21:02:09] I want to talk about amazing games.

[21:02:10] Hi Keith!

[21:02:11] Hey hey.

[21:02:12] You are on the segment.

[21:02:14] I am now.

[21:02:15] Hey! Alright. you know what i love that like yeah

[21:02:22] this was a great run literally there really isn't much that needs to be said about Stoughton, ever.

[21:02:30] Like if you've never seen it, trust me, slide backwards.

[21:02:31] You'll move on faster in your life.

[21:02:33] But it's not even just that.

[21:02:36] DB is a legend when it comes to this game and I just wanted to bring this clip up

[21:02:38] because we're going

[21:02:38] to see the classic

[21:02:39] Castlevania Symphony

[21:02:40] of the Night movement here,

[21:02:41] but there's also

[21:02:42] a nasty, sick, awesome,

[21:02:44] fantastic five billion

[21:02:46] other adjective damage boot.

[21:02:47] There you go. Whoa!

[21:02:49] That's dope.

[21:02:51] That was two routes length of a damage boost.

[21:02:53] So the power of this run was

[21:02:55] so immense that you had to pop

[21:02:57] on to recap to talk about it. That's what I think.

[21:03:00] Absolutely, yeah.

[21:03:01] I just want to know how you managed

[21:03:03] to make that technically possible

[21:03:05] when the run literally just happened?

[21:03:07] Listen...

[21:03:08] We're speed runners.

[21:03:09] Twitch Magic!

[21:03:09] Exactly!

[21:03:10] Let's break.

[21:03:11] Hi Keyes, good to see you!

[21:03:21] get to see on our stage. Whether it be

[21:03:23] beautiful moments like this. So for birds

[21:03:25] aren't real. So much silly block content

[21:03:45] real exactly and then we had that by the shadow barbecue um the whole crew coming together

[21:03:50] we i love the costumes conception once again.

[21:03:53] Coming on stage for our silly blocks which is so on theme with this hotfix show

[21:03:57] GDQ Hotfix Awfully Silly by the way you should watch it he's an amazing host

[21:04:01] So not only that but then like going into muscle march if you saw it in the clip just now

[21:04:05] you can see we got our yeah fourth of july guns let's go i and

[21:04:11] it was so funny because juho you could tell with every bit of the run was so funny because Juho, you could tell with every bit of the run,

[21:04:15] was so locked in.

[21:04:16] And if you go back and watch the couch, they're like...

[21:04:19] Just getting way too into the pose the entire time.

[21:05:52] it's got to be nickelodeon all-star brawl 2. i'm looking at my cue card because we got notes there's

[21:05:56] a big war between el tigre danny phantom runner's choice by the way. Garfield, Cora

[21:06:01] Angry Beavers, Squidward, Danny

[21:06:03] Yes!

[21:06:03] I said Donatello poorly

[21:06:07] Ignore me. My choice is Garfield

[21:06:09] because he hates lasagna

[21:06:10] Mondays not lasagna. He hates Mondays, not lasagna!

[21:06:13] He loves lasagna!

[21:06:15] Garfield's gonna kill me.

[21:06:17] Alright alright okay I'm of this Zelda

[21:06:25] with Spike and Gymnast88.

[21:06:27] Haha, that's our running joke. Don't worry about it.

[21:06:29] 86.

[21:06:30] Then we also have our next bonus game which is Ocarina of Time Defeat Ganon. No SRM. This was by Danny B who's an incredible Zelda runner just like Jim and Spike but incredible Zelda runner. we have to see that. It's going to be

[21:06:44] amazing. Alright, Keyes, now you're here. What do you want?

[21:06:46] I feel left out because I didn't have a

[21:06:48] cue card so let me just

[21:06:49] King of Hearts 2

[21:06:52] which is actually... Oh yeah!

[21:06:54] I would also be remiss and Dylan

[21:06:56] would murder me if I didn't mention Evil Zone

[21:06:58] tomorrow. Be there

[21:07:00] or else I will cry

[21:07:02] Turn in for the finals we had a final of

[21:07:05] what 70 80 players that were duking it out the other day so

[21:07:08] that one you're not going to want to miss but we have a ton

[21:07:11] of extra content that's coming up, We're gonna have Kingdom

[21:07:14] Hearts two Final Remix in just

[21:07:16] a little bit, but I want to see some of the

[21:07:18] amazing prizes we have for this block

[21:07:20] so do you think we can summon a prize wizard if

[21:07:22] we try really hard? Maybe if we stir

[21:07:24] the fire!

[21:07:26] Alright, and by

[21:07:28] the power vested in us let us

[21:07:30] summon Scent.

[21:07:32] There is no prize Wizard

[21:07:34] Ruby I am S, Seeker of Prizes, the 18th member of Organization

[21:07:41] 13. It makes sense, don't worry about it. We have come so far, Twitch chat in the marathon

[21:07:50] and yet you still understand nothing!

[21:07:55] Allow me to explain. To a speedrunner, this table,

[21:08:01] This prize segment is but a prison surrounded by nothing. Behold now,

[21:08:09] a dog who has opened his

[21:08:11] heart to the prizes

[21:08:13] and seen other worlds

[21:08:15] like Seattle

[21:08:17] it's a very different world I promise you.

[21:08:23] Darkness within darkness awaits you Twitch chat

[21:08:27] As do T-spins within T-spins in this blanket.

[21:08:31] Both equally deadly, be prepared for them.

[21:08:37] Now Twitch Chat I shall show you the darkness that lies at the heart of all prize segments.

[21:08:46] The heart of speedrunning itself! Kingdom Hearts 2! coming up next don't go anywhere

[21:09:01] holy guacamole. Our event has been so amazing so far! Oh my goodness, my name's Little Bun or Lydia, whichever. I'm going to be your host for the next while, but before we get to our

[21:09:14] next awesome run, we're gonna be taking a short break stretch and grab some water

[21:09:19] take care of yourself that don't go far we'll be right back those of you that are still here there's a

[21:09:31] poll on twitter where you can let us know what has been your favorite run

[21:09:34] of the marathon so far. Hop on over there and

[21:09:38] tell us what's your fave! so I told myself I was gonna cozy up for this evening shift,

[21:10:04] but your girlie is basically bouncing off the

[21:10:06] walls for this next run.

[21:10:09] Kingdom Hearts Critical, any percent?

[21:10:11] Yes, it's a heckin' hard

[21:10:12] category. When I signed up to host

[21:10:14] I was hoping I would get a host for this.

[21:13:36] Take it away,

[21:13:37] Ninten.

[21:13:39] Running the...

[21:13:42] running the Kingdom Hearts 2 critical any%.

[21:13:47] Take it away, Ninten.

[21:13:48] Hello everyone!

[21:13:49] We're playing Kingdom Hearts 2 today

[21:13:51] My name is Ninten and let's just get started

[21:13:54] In 3...2...1...go

[21:13:59] I'm joined by these lovely commentators.

[21:14:01] Yes, hi! I am Jay Hobbs.

[21:14:03] I'm Thar.

[21:14:04] And I'm Spike Vegeta. Hooray!

[21:14:08] This is actually my favorite category of this game so

[21:14:10] I'm really excited to be showing it off here.

[21:14:12] We're just starting out here in Roxas World.

[21:14:15] There's like a tutorial section of the video game here

[21:14:18] and the RNG is actually set when you start the game, so we're able to RNG manipulate

[21:14:23] the first couple fights here. So we'll be doing very particular combos on

[21:14:26] the first fights coming up.

[21:14:29] Yeah and Ninten picking up a Struggle Bat

[21:14:31] to increase his strength by one there as well which really does help.

[21:14:36] Yeah that 1 Strength difference actually makes a huge difference in this game.

[21:14:39] Yeah permanent stat increase so again like Ninten said he's gonna be rng manipulating right here doing an

[21:14:45] exact combo on cypher so you can keep this rng manipulation going a few more minutes into the run

[21:14:51] yeah so all these combos is like it's one just a good way to beat the boss quickly.

[21:14:55] Or you know, BOSS.

[21:14:57] Quickly but also is going

[21:14:59] to continue manipulating that RNG.

[21:15:01] Basically the RNG changes based on enemy action and

[21:15:04] The enemy action is based on what we do to the enemy.

[21:15:07] So how we hit them and let them respond.

[21:15:09] As you notice, I was doing air hits at the end so

[21:15:12] We will opt in with the air combos whenever we can.

[21:15:16] It's actually really hard to do them as Roxas because

[21:15:18] he's a bit heavier than Sora

[21:15:19] but they are faster than ground combos

[21:15:22] The animation is just quicker. This is one of the biggest

[21:15:24] reasons we did the RNG minute

[21:15:25] Look how fast it is fast and in case you were

[21:15:27] worried that critical was going to be any easier than level like normally slightly

[21:15:33] ninten's just gonna do two empty hits, one empty hit.

[21:15:36] A full combo here by empty hit we mean not completing the combo

[21:15:39] Just doing the first or the first two hits of the combo

[21:15:43] Yeah so doing the empty hits is because

[21:15:45] The finisher, the ending of the combo

[21:15:48] Knocks away the enemies

[21:15:50] And we don't want that because then we have to chase them down

[21:15:52] Yeah. So we'll be trying to end

[21:15:54] The enemy with the last hit of our

[21:15:56] Combo if we can. Yeah, especially Dusks. They

[21:15:58] love to just kind of move around all wildly

[21:16:00] and that finisher does a lot

[21:16:02] of damage. It's really good but

[21:16:04] it is not worth the time it would take to go

[21:16:06] chase him back down after you knock them away.

[21:16:08] Yeah, so this is Battle Delivery. We have to do a job and then talk to Haener

[21:16:11] we actually don't have to do that many jobs, just one of them

[21:16:14] And as long as we do well enough in this mini-game

[21:16:17] then we can go talk to header and finish up sub seven that was nice

[21:16:22] yeah that's actually that is not easy to do to do that in under

[21:16:25] seven seconds because there's a lot of you don't want to just press triangle

[21:16:28] to deliver a piece of mail while you're just on the ground because all

[21:16:31] of a sudden there's a ton of lag coming out so ninten was always trying to like jump when he

[21:16:36] is delivering the male and like as he's landing out of it. Yeah, it's very Tony Hawk.

[21:16:41] Very good.

[21:16:42] This is almost a Tony Hawk block.

[21:16:44] Sorry, keep going.

[21:16:46] Now we're entering day three.

[21:16:48] We promised there's gonna be

[21:16:49] a lot of action in this run

[21:16:50] and you're gonna start to see it on this day when we've got our first boss.

[21:16:54] Actually one of the more challenging fights in the room but we'll get to that there.

[21:16:57] But another section of RNG manip. To progress this we are just going to do 10 hits on the Dusk. As you can see, we are not doing any damage

[21:17:02] to it but our hits are still counting

[21:17:04] towards progression. There we go. That's exactly what

[21:17:06] you want? Yeah so we did the reverse RRC there

[21:17:08] We'll be doing that throughout Roxas Road

[21:17:10] because it stuns the Dusks.

[21:17:12] So let's just get like three hits in.

[21:17:14] Yeah, Ninten picked up the shield there as well

[21:17:16] The Dream Shield which affects

[21:17:17] the ability routing throughout the game

[21:17:19] so as you level-up which abilities you unlock

[21:17:21] that is determined by which dream weapon

[21:17:23] you pick and the shield is going to be very helpful there is like a sword route

[21:17:26] for critical as well but the shield has a lot of varied tech to it that nintendo

[21:17:30] wanted to show off yeah shouldo is just really safe.

[21:17:36] He also got once more, yeah.

[21:17:38] We'll be getting a lot of these that will be very useful later on especially on critical mode.

[21:17:41] So now we're hitting into our first actual boss fight,

[21:17:44] which is Twilight Thorn.

[21:17:46] It's actually a really tough fight.

[21:17:49] Right here in this menu,

[21:17:50] Nintendo's applying all of these like bonus...

[21:17:54] Was that no experience? You put it on and then took off

[21:17:57] okay i was very sure but all those abilities that you just saw intense start with there

[21:18:01] those are bonuses that come from starting on critical mode difficulty. So Square's

[21:18:06] idea of kind of balancing

[21:18:08] critical mode, which was added to the Final Mix

[21:18:10] version, was to say it's going to be really

[21:18:12] hard. You're going to die very

[21:18:14] easily one two shot. But we're also

[21:18:17] going to give you a couple of niceties up front

[21:18:19] like a finishing plus allowing you

[21:18:21] back-to-back finishing hits

[21:18:23] which are your most powerful attacks pretty much

[21:18:25] across the board. Stuff like draw, reaction boosts

[21:18:28] we'll get into those as the fights kind of apply to them but yeah a lot of cool bonuses

[21:18:32] right there. You also deal more damage on critical mode than you do on standard

[21:18:36] beginner does even more but... Critical also gets a nice little damage buff.

[21:18:38] So I like to fiddle around with the menu in my bodys.

[21:18:42] It's just how we make the time go by.

[21:18:46] This is like the big introduction to reaction commands.

[21:18:49] So every time you see one of those triangle prompts pop up

[21:18:52] on screen, you intend using mashing triangle and hitting

[21:18:55] one of those.

[21:18:56] We're going to use those a lot throughout the run.

[21:18:58] I think a lot of people remember this game as Mash X and Triangle,

[21:19:00] but we are not going to

[21:19:02] use them in that kind of fashion.

[21:19:04] They're very specifically used.

[21:19:07] In this fight though,

[21:19:08] for the opening there's not much you can do besides use them.

[21:19:10] And then after this animation here we're going to have Ninten actually getting into kind of the difficult part of this.

[21:19:16] Yeah so he'll be trying to get four air combos and maybe an extra hit at the end of it when he's knocked down here so we stem for a

[21:19:22] certain period of time like i said eric was really hard to do as roxas so it's quite difficult

[21:19:26] to get these air combos in yeah all right that's good that's great that's good.

[21:19:32] That's good. Yep. We're still in a good spot and I've killed this boss in time

[21:19:36] even though we missed that extra hit jump with that double finisher that is

[21:19:40] due to that finishing plus Spike was talking about.

[21:19:41] Ninten knocks the Dusks away because they can absolutely get in

[21:19:44] the way, and then he's listening for an audio cue

[21:19:46] to dodge them here.

[21:19:48] A little bit of an empty hit there so this finisher finishes off

[21:19:51] the boss. And don't let that fight

[21:19:54] pull you ninten just absolutely schooled that fight but that is a very challenging

[21:19:58] fight to learn and it's the first major fight in the game

[21:20:01] and not only was ninton beating beating the boss there, but also

[21:20:04] knew to actually kill the creeper that spawned as well for

[21:20:08] extra experience. Yeah so that experience actually matters. The experience route

[21:20:12] is pretty important to stick to,

[21:20:14] so we'll be trying to hit certain level thresholds throughout the game.

[21:20:17] And one of them actually coming up at the end of Roxas Road.

[21:20:20] Yeah that's like what two experiences or something?

[21:20:22] Maybe four and it's absolutely worth

[21:20:25] paying attention to.

[21:20:27] So we get the struggle fights right here.

[21:20:29] All of these need to...

[21:20:31] Ideally you can last the entire

[21:20:33] minute or you can just add all 200 of the orbs and finish it instantly

[21:20:38] so you can see ninten getting a really good corner shot with that 46 is a very good painter

[21:20:43] is really hard yeah hater is unironically one of the hardest fights in like the early game

[21:20:48] And we see another one of those critical abilities that we were given at the start of the game made use there draw

[21:20:54] Draw basically sucks in any items that enemies drop,

[21:20:57] in this case Struggle Orbs but later in the game HP orbs, MP orbs, money.

[21:21:01] Basically means you don't have to walk right on top of them

[21:21:03] to get them which makes these struggle fast very struggle fights very fast in critical mode yeah

[21:21:09] and on vb here it's going to be a little bit different than hanner because we actually have

[21:21:11] knocked dv down you can't see their health yet but we're going to see it soon uh but we are able

[21:21:16] to get bb to zero health there and knock him down.

[21:21:19] And even right there, the one spot

[21:21:20] where Ninten got you might have thought that was a mistake

[21:21:22] That was actually intentional

[21:21:24] because of how draw works with it

[21:21:26] It's better to just take that one hint and keep all the orbs

[21:21:29] clustered up. It works really well.

[21:21:31] So now Ninten is going to be using a lot of those

[21:21:33] empty hits like we said. Not using

[21:21:35] the finishers unless he can actually

[21:21:37] project it pretty well. That a good fight yes let's another fight

[21:21:42] there when we find what's with us we're trying to hit multiple of them at the same time because

[21:21:45] save some time on getting extra hits Jack and I get a got it memorized?

[21:21:52] So here we're going to be beating

[21:21:52] Axel with six air

[21:21:53] commas, yet the

[21:21:54] dodge is attacked

[21:21:54] right there.

[21:21:55] We don't have guard

[21:21:56] equips yet so it's

[21:21:57] actually really hard

[21:21:57] to dodge that.

[21:21:58] Then get in

[21:21:59] that combo right

[21:22:00] there. Good fight, there good fight good adjustment on the empty hits

[21:22:03] there too yeah it's very easy to drop a combo while playing with roxas and if you do you have

[21:22:08] to be able to like on the fly just do it yeah nintendo's also one of the best runners out there

[21:22:12] for games like kingdom hearts 1 as well where jump combos are the king no problem uh but yeah

[21:22:19] we're jump combos are the king so you have to get really good at getting those little micro jumps and then getting an entire combo out.

[21:22:26] Ninten intentionally losing there because you have the option of either win or lose.

[21:22:29] You get a better prize from loosing which is the medal. An accessory that gives us

[21:22:33] one more strength, which

[21:22:35] as we said before, 1 of any stat

[21:22:37] especially strength in this game makes a big difference

[21:22:39] Yeah so this game

[21:22:41] is like action RPG. The RPG elements definitely come into play a lot in the speed

[21:22:44] run and you have to pay attention to all of our stats

[21:22:46] and everything.

[21:22:47] Yep.

[21:22:48] I feel casually it's more action than some RPG whereas

[21:22:51] in the speed run it is equal parts both.

[21:22:53] So because we have that metal,

[21:22:55] Dusks are going to get a little more HP

[21:22:57] since battle level is going to rise on this day

[21:22:59] but we're able to kill them in one less hit

[21:23:01] so they will technically still have

[21:23:02] similar HP as they've had in the past few days.

[21:23:05] Yeah, so right there I put on Guard and Scan

[21:23:07] that we can finally start seeing the HP

[21:23:09] as Pthar mentioned.

[21:23:10] And we also have Guard which is going to be very useful.

[21:23:12] Yeah.

[21:23:13] We're gonna have a few sections here where Ninten has to go basically take care of a couple minigames

[21:23:19] But this is a good time to get to the basics of the video game

[21:23:22] If you've never seen Kingdom Hearts before and you're like what's this weird thing in the bottom left corner that says attack and items and all that?

[21:23:27] It's kind of like your JRPG menu.

[21:23:29] In this game it is an action

[21:23:30] RPG but you actually decide

[21:23:33] what your character is going to do by selecting

[21:23:35] it from the menu in real time and you have

[21:23:37] to do that with the d-pad so there's a lot of strategies and a lot

[21:23:40] of situations especially later on in the run as nintendo has more mechanics

[21:23:44] available where he used to do menuing in mid-fight, like,

[21:23:47] to be able to pull off strats.

[21:23:48] In the middle of your combos and everything.

[21:23:50] Another very difficult fight right here?

[21:23:53] Yeah so I hear that they react

[21:23:54] to where the Vivicones spawn

[21:23:55] and their attacks

[21:23:56] So whenever they spawn

[21:23:57] They always do a hop

[21:23:58] And then I can catch them at the end of their hop

[21:24:00] They are being so mean too

[21:24:02] Yeah just spawns there

[21:24:04] That was really nice recovery right from start

[21:24:06] Getting hit but Ninten played that very well. Yeah, it was

[21:24:09] definitely hand-to-wall. It was just absolutely

[21:24:11] rough spawns at the beginning.

[21:24:14] That's pretty much really

[21:24:15] the only major RNG section

[21:24:17] of Roxas,

[21:24:19] the Roxas prologue section.

[21:24:21] Believe it or not this Roxas section is actually one

[21:24:23] of the hardest splits in the whole game.

[21:24:25] It's like one of the hardest segments so...

[21:24:27] Like Hainer in particular

[21:24:29] is so difficult.

[21:24:29] As somebody who learned this game not too long ago

[21:24:31] it was like I spent so long on Hainer

[21:24:33] and then this fight here

[21:24:35] is a perfect example of how hard it is to do combos low to the ground

[21:24:38] because you're fighting shadow roxus who has your hitbox

[21:24:43] effectively yeah it's extremely low and roxas in general just scuffed his hip box included

[21:24:49] to do those combos properly you got to do your fist first

[21:24:51] hit and really delay your second hit otherwise just going to go right past his

[21:24:55] right ear yeah he's gonna hit you back and you're gonna have a it looks like

[21:24:57] nothing but go boot up the game get to that point

[21:25:00] you know you will just whip over his head for minutes yeah so

[21:25:04] you got to make sure that you time your combos very precisely so for most of the combos in the

[21:25:08] game i will be timing it but with, I think we've hit our

[21:25:13] first stretch here. We're going to take a little bit of a breather. It's

[21:25:15] so cool how fast Kingdom Hearts runs are

[21:25:17] nowadays, especially all the faster load times.

[21:25:19] Let's kick over for some donations

[21:25:21] for about a minute or so. Oh heck heck yeah we have so much love for the runner

[21:25:25] here we have a 50 donation from spacey l1 and you got this ninten super excited to catch kingdom hearts 2 live

[21:25:37] we have a another 50 donation from mdlatqp made history multiple ways from MDLATQP. the prize wizard restoring the timeline what a thursday can't wait for more everyone's amazing

[21:25:58] i love you all less than three i missed something when i went to dinner one of those things in

[21:26:03] the middle there was not like the others. Tonight has been a journey.

[21:26:07] You still have some time.

[21:26:08] Yeah, you got a little bit of time here.

[21:26:09] We have a $25 donation from Crazy Comics.

[21:26:14] Hi, Nintendo!

[21:26:15] Paws and Skype. Spike. Crazy Comics from the Kingdom Hearts 2 rando community. It's strange to not see Trinity Fire or Limit Form in simulated Twilight Town.

[21:26:29] Not only

[21:26:30] has it been an honor to race

[21:26:32] you all in a new way to play

[21:26:34] this incredible game, but it's been cool

[21:26:36] to get to know y'all through it shout outs to the wonderful kingdom

[21:26:39] hearts 2 rando community and all the other amazing friends i've made through it love y'all and may

[21:26:44] your hearts be your guiding key i feel so much better that we were not the first ones to bring up a randomizer.

[21:26:51] KH2Rando is amazing though!

[21:26:53] If you even just enjoy this game casually, go to kh2rando.com and try out

[21:26:58] the randomizer because there's so much that you can do

[21:27:00] to make it accessible for people who

[21:27:01] do not speedrun.

[21:27:03] And with that, we're back into the action here

[21:27:05] and after we get rid of these two deaths

[21:27:07] we're going to find our first assassin

[21:27:09] These enemies are actually very tough uh later

[21:27:11] on they can be pretty scary because they can one-shot you um getting hit there is

[21:27:15] fine just get them they take actually the same amount of hits as the dust. Mm-hmm.

[21:27:20] Mm-hmm.

[21:27:25] And then we have to run back over to the mansion and go through

[21:27:27] just two more fights before

[21:27:29] the end of Rock's Ascension. We get Control Soar, and we get to start playing the game.

[21:27:34] Play the video game?

[21:27:36] Well, coming up in the next 15 or so minutes

[21:27:40] you'll see a first look of the uh costume bid war

[21:27:44] oh that's true right yeah i forgot we don't get to see that in the roxa section now

[21:27:49] the asura section i looked at they had the Nickelodeon Bidwar there,

[21:27:52] and I was like are we playing as Danny Phantom?

[21:27:55] Honestly, there's some pretty good mods for Sora so yeah.

[21:27:59] KH2 random modders make a Danny Phantom mod now.

[21:28:04] Can't play was Garfield! I would love that.

[21:28:06] You had to will that into the world, huh?

[21:28:08] They're already working

[21:28:10] on it at the end of the run.

[21:28:12] So we don't have much in the way of movement options right now you've been

[21:28:15] seeing ninten use a whole bunch of like skateboards and stuff uh

[21:28:18] and this game is definitely much more about the combat like that the comment

[21:28:21] is is the bread and butter of it. But Spike always likes to describe it as

[21:28:25] kind of the side dish.

[21:28:27] So I love little things like that where you

[21:28:29] hop over,

[21:28:30] yeah, and then jumping over a corner here to get around.

[21:28:33] There's a lot of spots where you want

[21:28:35] to make sure that you are minimizing the amount

[21:28:38] of times you are jumping and then landing somewhere,

[21:28:40] because that landing causes you to kind

[21:28:42] of freeze in place for just a few frames,

[21:28:45] just a moment before you start walking again.

[21:28:46] So that's why Ninten even back there jumped after

[21:28:49] landing to go right into the doorway to get rid

[21:28:51] of that little landing animation.

[21:28:53] Yep, so here's the last mob fight

[21:28:55] I would like to call it.

[21:28:56] Where we fight four Dusks and we're

[21:28:58] going to be fighting more enemies

[21:28:59] after we get rid of three Dusk.

[21:29:01] So a nice pattern that happens in this game

[21:29:03] is whenever there are multiple waves of enemies

[21:29:06] then next wave will spawn after you defeat a certain amount of the previous wave.

[21:29:10] So right there we're going to watch out for the assassin's spawns they always attack when they spawn

[21:29:14] and then after getting rid of the first assassin we get rid of the dusk

[21:29:17] And then we just have this last one left

[21:29:21] good fast there we go heading into axle 2 here uh

[21:29:26] this fight is mostly mostly scripted in terms

[21:29:29] of how we're going to handle it in a speedrun,

[21:29:31] but things can easily go wrong and if they didn't,

[21:29:33] things are going to have to react. And that's a lot

[21:29:35] of fights in this run basically.

[21:29:40] You're really seeing a nice buff here from having that finishing plus,

[21:29:43] extending those combos and doing big damage

[21:29:45] and now we get that reaction boost

[21:29:46] where you press triangle,

[21:29:47] there goes a lot of health right there.

[21:29:50] And all of a sudden...

[21:29:51] See ya, Axel!

[21:29:51] Very nice.

[21:29:52] That's pretty much the end of Roxasville.

[21:29:54] Just gonna walk through the next story.

[21:29:55] That fight is one of the examples of the fight in the critical mode run that actually

[21:29:59] is faster in critical mode compared to the other categories

[21:30:02] oh yeah the reaction boost makes such a huge difference as well actually finishing plus

[21:30:06] yeah same with like taking or the struggle fights in general like all

[21:30:09] the circle fights i think are faster on critical mode as well.

[21:30:12] Oh yeah. So we got our first

[21:30:13] big menu here. A lot of things

[21:30:16] happening in this menu.

[21:30:24] That's just beautiful menus. I love menus in this game, man.

[21:30:28] They're so crisp. This game is so responsive with the inputs.

[21:30:32] Ninten did a few things there, mostly took

[21:30:35] items from his party members which he's going to do a lot

[21:30:38] because items are very useful just like in any RPG speedrun

[21:30:41] and also took Donald Cure off, I believe

[21:30:44] to make sure that you can actually

[21:30:46] take enough damage in this next fight a lot faster

[21:30:48] Yeah so the party member AI is something

[21:30:50] we changed a couple times throughout

[21:30:52] the run. Right now we're just making it so that they attack

[21:30:54] all of the enemies that we are not attacking

[21:30:56] and will be messing with their settings every now and then

[21:30:58] So this fight is another fight

[21:31:00] where you can actually lose the fight

[21:31:02] and progress the game, there's a couple fights like this.

[21:31:04] Nice! That's the move we want to see from Dusk,

[21:31:07] The Upside Down Walk. There's actually a good name for that

[21:31:10] what was it? Nothing. Oh yeah

[21:31:13] Upside Down Walk Yeah, Upside down walk.

[21:31:15] Yeah, upside down walk.

[21:31:17] Mess me up something?

[21:31:18] I don't know.

[21:31:20] But anyway we're going to do another fight where you can die and this time it's against Shadows, which are slightly more annoying

[21:31:25] because sometimes they just will decide not to attack you.

[21:31:29] This one is like... yeah, it's almost runner preference

[21:31:32] on whether you decide to fight this fight out or take the hits

[21:31:38] Sometimes they act how you want them to and other times they don't but it takes three hits i will tell you in my time running critical mode

[21:31:42] i can't tell you the amount of times where donald actually finished the fight for me

[21:31:45] i was trying to you know donald literally like i try to die and he'll just thunder all finish the fight for me.

[21:31:48] Donald will literally, like I try to die and he'll just thunder all the shadows

[21:31:50] and just fight for me.

[21:31:52] It's a theme in this game that your party members

[21:31:53] always do the opposite of what you want them to do.

[21:31:57] Because there's a lot of times in Kingdom Hearts speedrunning where you want them to do. There's a lot of times in Kingdom Hearts

[21:31:58] speedrunning where you want them to just do

[21:32:00] nothing, genuinely don't.

[21:32:02] Because then at least that keeps the fight consistent

[21:32:04] and locked down. Here though we'd like to see

[21:32:06] Donald using that thunder, getting his Zeus on.

[21:32:09] That was a really good one.

[21:32:10] That was an insane first wave.

[21:32:12] We are the only people who play this game in the entire world

[21:32:15] who don't want Donald to cure them.

[21:32:17] We took it off!

[21:32:20] Yeah, so the shadows actually are interesting

[21:32:22] because...

[21:32:22] Oh my god!

[21:32:25] Guys,

[21:32:26] that was an incredible first tower fight.

[21:32:29] That fight is notoriously annoying for beatrunners That was an incredible first tower fight.

[21:32:29] That fight is notoriously annoying for the RNG of Shadows.

[21:32:33] But Ninten, you were saying about that...

[21:32:34] Yeah so the shadows as you can see they go underground and that's terrible

[21:32:37] because you have to wait for them to come back up

[21:32:39] but they actually have a frame where

[21:32:41] they're vulnerable, and so what happened there is I was able

[21:32:43] to catch them with really well-timed Keyblade

[21:32:45] Spinning as they came out of the ground at that one

[21:32:47] frame. So it's very tight

[21:32:49] to catch them. Yeah we're gonna have to deal with shadows too

[21:32:52] long in this run like they're not you're not dealing with them absolutely forever but there

[21:32:57] definitely are going to be more and thankfully awesome oh the triple! And the UV assist at the end.

[21:33:04] That was an unreal tower.

[21:33:06] Just to finish that thought, thankfully

[21:33:08] we're going to have more ways

[21:33:10] of dealing with shadows going underground.

[21:33:13] You didn't even get us time to talk about how that fight worked,

[21:33:15] you just played it so well.

[21:33:17] A whole quick kill there gets you just a little bit

[21:33:19] more experience and a tiny bit of money.

[21:33:21] Again, the EXP routing is very, very tight here. A number

[21:33:24] I always look for is seeing if he'll reach

[21:33:26] level 8 which has a strength and a magic

[21:33:28] increase on it at a certain

[21:33:30] point in Land of Dragons. We'll see when it pops

[21:33:32] up there but you'll see he'll barely get it.

[21:33:34] So here is the incentive that y'all donated for...

[21:33:38] Timeless Ruvasaura!

[21:33:40] Timeless Ruvasaura, the model that was never supposed to have color.

[21:33:44] It now has color!

[21:33:47] I don't remember is this colored in the game normally or somebody colorized it?

[21:33:50] No, I think someone actually colorized it.

[21:33:52] It was made by Jacob actually so so huge shout out to Jacob.

[21:33:55] Nice!

[21:33:58] Gonna head over to Hollow Bastion here now at the top of

[21:34:00] the tower got access to the first of several drive forms

[21:34:03] that we'll be getting in the run.

[21:34:05] These are kind of like a weird fusion

[21:34:07] kind of thing where basically you take the power of a party member

[21:34:10] you can see goofy's gone now in order to change your form and we're

[21:34:14] getting a timeless river valor form here,

[21:34:16] which is very nice.

[21:34:17] It definitely looks really good.

[21:34:18] Yeah, it looks sick.

[21:34:19] The drip on it's really good.

[21:34:20] Really cool.

[21:34:21] So in this world,

[21:34:22] we use Valor Form not just for movement but also for fights.

[21:34:24] You'll see that you are able to kill enemies a lot faster

[21:34:27] because we have two Keyblades,

[21:34:29] a lot of new abilities with the Glueling Keyblades.

[21:34:32] And this is a fight that actually

[21:34:33] you can lose and you can die through

[21:34:35] which the level one category does

[21:34:37] but Critical Mode as I was saying is so tight on experience that we need

[21:34:39] the experience from this fight to be able to go faster later in the run.

[21:34:43] Yeah and that was our first look at the assassins. We'll see a lot of them in the fight coming up here as well.

[21:34:47] Samurai? Oh samurai yes. And we'll be seeing a lot of them in the fight coming up here as well.

[21:34:48] Oh, Samurai, yes.

[21:34:50] Had to whoop for the little over-the-rise thing.

[21:34:55] Dude I'm not gonna lie, I thought it was Canadian Maple Leafy.

[21:34:59] Yes! Thank you!

[21:35:01] This is why we work together.

[21:35:03] I thought it was the Canadian Maple Leaf on his shoulder.

[21:35:06] I was gonna wait for the next ValorForm use to bring that up.

[21:35:08] He's like, did anybody else see the Canadian flag on his...

[21:35:11] I was so confused as

[21:35:12] what you guys were talking about.

[21:35:14] We'll see it later. This fight is awful!

[21:35:17] Yeah, so actually got a really bad pattern

[21:35:18] here. So Leon hit the dust towards the back of

[21:35:21] the room all the enemies are programmed to go towards the gate because we need to protect

[21:35:25] the gate uh when it gets destroyed we lose the fight but that shouldn't happen so pretty much

[21:35:29] what we want leon to do is also be at the gate and take care of these Dusks.

[21:35:32] I want him to stay there because after he kills all of these Dusks,

[21:35:36] a Samurai are going to spawn on this side of the arena

[21:35:39] And I want to get a Dual St, which is an reaction command that kills

[21:35:42] everything around me. And we get it by

[21:35:44] guarding the samurai attacks

[21:35:46] So we want Leon to leave them alone right here

[21:35:48] so I can get a guard off and then get into

[21:35:50] a dual stance. The creepers will spawn here as well,

[21:35:53] once they're gone the last wave will spawn

[21:35:55] so you actually want to pay attention

[21:35:57] when they die. And this is where Leon can

[21:35:59] kind of hurt things, he'll go and attack

[21:36:01] the samurais and cause them to

[21:36:03] stop their attack. Which, it's like, oh

[21:36:06] he's helping, you know? But that actually sucks

[21:36:07] because we want to block that attack to provoke the reaction

[21:36:10] command. Nintent handling it very well

[21:36:12] though, we're under the last wave of dusks here

[21:36:13] probably going to throw out some blizzards if they stack up but they're not so just go with

[21:36:17] like regular attacks too yeah there's a lot of audibles that ninjins gonna have

[21:36:21] to call on the fly there's also the security system ruining

[21:36:25] things as well, but surviving

[21:36:27] a Bailey is always something that you're happy

[21:36:29] about. Yeah.

[21:36:31] Just chiming in we have just

[21:36:33] less than $45,000 until one million.

[21:36:39] I want it to be 1 million while we're up on the stage!

[21:36:42] That would be cool. Make it happen. Okay thank you.

[21:36:45] Now this is the mod

[21:36:46] we don't have to gummy mish

[21:36:48] That was your Disney song for this one

[21:36:52] Now that Kingdom Hearts is on the PC

[21:36:54] and also recently on a Steam version,

[21:36:57] we're able to actually skip the gummy missions which makes

[21:37:01] the speedrun much better paced because you don't have

[21:37:03] to go through all of the autosquatters.

[21:37:06] So that cuts about nearly 30 minutes off the run.

[21:37:08] Yeah, Spike if we get one note of let's make or I'll make a man out of you

[21:37:14] That's all we have time for thank you. Thank you Spike.

[21:37:17] Listen for every dollar we get closer to a million well i don't

[21:37:21] know all right so now canadian saw it throwing down.

[21:37:29] Yeah, this is another fight where shadows exist, so

[21:37:31] it's awful. And they're

[21:37:33] being a little mean on this one in particular.

[21:37:35] Sometimes they can kind of group up and Valorform will take care

[21:37:37] of them really well. one like nice thing is that

[21:37:40] valorform levels up these drive forms you can kind of think of them like jobs in final fantasy they

[21:37:46] level up separately independently of sora and there generally by using them. And the way Valorform levels up is by

[21:37:52] attacking enemies with Keyblade hits, so you can see Nintendo just got level 2 there

[21:37:57] The one nice thing about like sometimes when enemies are mean is that maybe you'll at least

[21:38:01] get more experience on your dry form

[21:38:03] as a result. So here, now

[21:38:05] that we have reverted out of Valor Form

[21:38:07] and lost it, we're going to be making use of a spell

[21:38:09] which has got Fire. And Fire's going to be very use of a spell which has got fire.

[21:38:11] And fire is very useful against these shadows because

[21:38:13] fire actually hits on every single frame,

[21:38:15] so whenever we see a shadow underground about

[21:38:17] to come up, we can fire and basically guarantee

[21:38:19] that we'll catch it so it can't go back under.

[21:38:22] Yeah, and fire gives us back our drive much faster as well

[21:38:24] So you see a Drive Gauge on the bottom right

[21:38:26] We want to hit 3 to go into Valor Form

[21:38:28] Valor forms will be using different amounts of Drive

[21:38:30] So pay attention to that a lot throughout the whole run yeah magic

[21:38:33] in particular is so good at recovering drive yeah just look as this fire's hitting multiple

[21:38:37] enemies then once it gets little you know

[21:38:42] once he takes care of those first shadows everything switches

[21:38:44] donald back in to help finish off enemies with that thunder or steal damage to them

[21:38:49] donald is definitely our strongest party member in terms of damage output

[21:38:52] at this point again yeah game. Yeah, and that

[21:38:54] will remain true for a lot of it

[21:38:56] 30 EXP

[21:38:59] we can see from this level

[21:39:00] 12 you have just enough at the end of this

[21:39:02] where once he takes out

[21:39:04] this rider,

[21:39:05] Dress hits that level 8

[21:39:06] and you see

[21:39:07] the magic increase right there.

[21:39:08] That's how tight

[21:39:09] the EXP routing is here

[21:39:10] even in the beginning

[21:39:11] because now with the help

[21:39:12] of two blizzards

[21:39:13] he should be able

[21:39:14] to take out

[21:39:14] his first shadow.

[21:39:15] Yeah we're going to snipe him right here because I see him pretty hard at this time.

[21:39:18] Really tough to time.

[21:39:19] Oh yeah unfortunately.

[21:39:23] Nice good Donald.

[21:39:24] Donald good backup.

[21:39:27] Donald's kind of being a baller right now

[21:39:34] that's what we want to do something relatively new uh you said just ignore these tents but now what did bg call the at the arson we're gonna we're gonna burn down all these

[21:39:39] tents go ahead and intend yeah we're going to bring a lot of attempts here because it actually

[21:39:42] creates more room for the shadows moving around then they actually just come towards us we got

[21:39:46] another one except

[21:39:47] this one yeah i said this one's just kind of camping back here

[21:39:49] this one did not feel like it today bringing goofy so we can kill this and

[21:39:54] go into valor form again valid for me to end the fight quickly but we're also going to use it for

[21:39:58] some movement after the fight yeah one of the things i love about this is how we transition

[21:40:03] from like using a drive form in a fight to immediately using it for movement so

[21:40:07] it's got like you know the double whammy spike

[21:40:10] and i can't get over the fact that this is canadian sorrow right now oh i'm sorry i was also

[21:40:16] laughing at the fact that she's like, I can't remember the male character's

[21:40:20] name from Mulan.

[21:40:21] No, no, no, the

[21:40:23] leader.

[21:40:27] He's like, oh, could

[21:40:28] you please protect our campsite?

[21:40:29] I got this.

[21:40:32] No more campsites to protect baby!

[21:40:34] This is a sick strat.

[21:40:35] The little movement with the delay right there

[21:40:37] and just able to alley-oop

[21:40:39] the Nightwalker off of that delay right there, and just able to alley-oop the

[21:40:41] Nightwalker off of that into

[21:40:43] the wall and still break it open. Because if you don't finish

[21:40:45] the animation, it doesn't actually block the wall.

[21:40:47] None of this is doing anything until the end.

[21:40:49] So really good manipulation movement on Ninten's part.

[21:40:52] Very clean mount.

[21:40:53] Ping tried to ruin it too.

[21:40:54] Oh yeah,

[21:40:55] he hit that now.

[21:40:55] Ping hit the Nightwalker

[21:40:56] almost hit it too early.

[21:40:58] Yeah.

[21:40:58] That's one thing I don't think we've mentioned in this game

[21:41:00] but one thing that really works to our benefit in this game is

[21:41:02] whenever you hit an enemy they will

[21:41:04] hit you back. Oh yeah.

[21:41:06] Especially later on in the run we're going to use

[21:41:08] a lot of that to our advantage but that's just something

[21:41:10] to kind of pay attention to now.

[21:41:13] So heading into this cave fight, Ninten gets reverted from Valorform here because like I said

[21:41:17] Valorform requires you to team up with Goofy to use it

[21:41:21] and Goofy gets pulled out of your party for this fight, so

[21:41:24] that is important because you notice that drive gauge

[21:41:26] is at three.

[21:41:27] It's maxed out even though Ninten was in Valor form.

[21:41:31] That's something we're going to utilize a lot when When the game takes you out of a drive form,

[21:41:34] it'll absolutely fully refill it.

[21:41:36] Yeah so as I mentioned before how the shadows go on

[21:41:38] the ground, fire is active for pretty much

[21:41:40] the entire time that it's out. So if we fire around

[21:41:42] the shadows then they will never be able to escape the attack

[21:41:46] and we won't have to worry about them going underground it's very useful spell i'm just gonna

[21:41:50] let him attack here yeah yeah a little safe call he could do do one of two things I think maybe three

[21:41:55] and the spinning attack would have probably killed Ninten

[21:41:59] if he let it happen so yeah.

[21:42:02] Trust me these fights are a lot scarier than they might look.

[21:42:04] Yeah our live crowd's... Our live crowds being

[21:42:06] awesome as they're clapping after all these because I

[21:42:08] cannot stress to you all enough. All of

[21:42:10] us know we've all ran this before.

[21:42:12] This looks or this is

[21:42:14] so much harder than I think Nint ever makes it look yeah the specificity to every

[21:42:19] single fight is off the chart something we're very rarely going to have time to get into

[21:42:23] is that positioning in this game matters way more than you would think.

[21:42:28] So much, but we're heading into a fight here where Ninten are you going to do some

[21:42:32] EXP boosts in here or is that more of a beginner's? No, no, we will be getting

[21:42:36] a lot of experience though. Alright, sort it out.

[21:42:38] Because we want to hit... I think

[21:42:40] we're looking for 126 experience

[21:42:42] until the next level.

[21:42:44] That'll set you up safe for Level 10.

[21:42:46] Yep. But in the meantime, Ninten

[21:42:49] is going to be taking care of these rapid thrusters

[21:42:51] with fire, speed traps and regular combos

[21:42:53] this is a timed fight so we can't

[21:42:55] speed up anymore so you got about 35

[21:42:57] seconds or so for donations now.

[21:42:59] Perfect, I got so many piling up!

[21:43:01] We have a $2,000 donation from Delvin!

[21:43:08] Less than 50k to go for 1 million?

[21:43:11] Garsh, chat!

[21:43:12] Let's get that done!

[21:43:14] We have a

[21:43:16] wonderful donation from

[21:43:18] Dignified Beard

[21:43:20] for $50.

[21:43:21] Had to donate during Kingdom Hearts,

[21:43:23] it's been such a big part of my life

[21:43:25] I even named my cat Kairi!

[21:43:27] I'll donate another $50 if the crowd

[21:43:30] and the couch can do their best to try

[21:43:32] to get my cat's attention.

[21:43:34] Good luck to Ninten and the rest of the runners.

[21:43:36] All right, folks, let's get on that.

[21:43:38] Why was that the scariest summit for you?

[21:43:45] Unfortunately, Ninten did not hit the level threshold yeah it will be okay though because we actually have a bit of a buffer here so i should hit it on the boss fight that you wanted

[21:43:49] ninten being the very good runner that They is always has backups. Yeah, which

[21:43:53] the key that to this game in general is

[21:43:55] always know all of your backups. No

[21:43:57] no, the keys of the blade

[21:44:01] Thank you back couch for supporting me.

[21:44:04] But yeah now this is a good introduction to one of the big advantages

[21:44:08] of running this game on PS4 or PS5 or PC

[21:44:12] Is that your loads are significantly faster.

[21:44:13] Yeah.

[21:44:14] So you can actually save warp and move to a different part of the world

[21:44:18] and save enough time to do that instead of other strategies.

[21:44:22] Yep, so cool movement tech right there.

[21:44:23] We actually get hit to get damage boosted

[21:44:25] on the way through this next fight and I'll be doing

[21:44:27] this fight in Valor form it's a little bit of

[21:44:29] scary fight because we have to fight the Bolt Towers

[21:44:31] in valor and

[21:44:33] they like to just kind of face away from you,

[21:44:35] and he can only hit where they're facing.

[21:44:39] So first we're taking out these Nightwalkers...

[21:44:42] And that would be a good dodge.

[21:44:44] Oh! Of course it just barely lasted long enough mulan finished them off

[21:44:47] milan's new lom now by the way oh and way more useful yeah there you go that was a

[21:44:52] that was a pretty good ending in that fight very sexy milan actually got customized to uh party attack earlier as well

[21:44:59] if i'm not mistaken so that way she can take care of some of the extra enemies in this fight

[21:45:05] uh so that way they don't mess up the gate and make you lose

[21:45:08] all right so on Sean you here we're gonna be running up to him and get

[21:45:11] parking there reaction command by parrying him because we actually found

[21:45:15] does a ton of damage especially on critical mode

[21:45:16] then just magic command will also defeat

[21:45:19] the nightwalkers every time they're right here which should actually get me in level 10 right

[21:45:23] there perfect i don't know if we mentioned this about valor form but because you have

[21:45:27] two keyblades you have the strength stats of both key blades

[21:45:31] so another reason why you do more damage in valid form yep so he should go into

[21:45:34] his next phase here

[21:45:37] now we're going to guard his attack,

[21:45:39] to go into the Ratchet command again.

[21:45:41] And thankfully this boss actually takes a lot of hits

[21:45:44] before he retaliates so we should be able

[21:45:46] to beat him before he gets a chance

[21:45:47] to do anything here.

[21:45:52] And the blizzard almost... Oh, I thought for sure that would kill it.

[21:45:54] Yeah, it did too. There you go. Very nice.

[21:45:58] Something about this

[21:45:58] game that I don't think any other Kingdom Hearts title has had is, in order to kill a boss you have to kill them with the finisher.

[21:46:04] Yeah or some kind of special attack at least.

[21:46:07] Any magic spell counts but for like ground combos or air combos it has to be a finisher.

[21:46:12] Yeah, or you gotta be in valor form and do certain attacks

[21:46:15] or something like that, or use something like a horizontal slide.

[21:46:17] So basically whenever we're finishing off the boss fight

[21:46:19] We have to do a particular attack which is why i might like opt to

[21:46:22] do not a full combo on them i was about to be like spike how about go the distance

[21:46:28] i don't know if you know that did zem come to this event?

[21:46:34] Dude, I was just screaming during the Ken Griffey Jr. run

[21:46:35] a few hours ago

[21:46:36] You're like

[21:46:37] I'm an hour in

[21:46:37] I gotta run up my pipes dude

[21:46:38] We have quite a bit

[21:46:41] of movement here

[21:46:41] for the next fight

[21:46:42] Yeah I think the one last thing before we toss over We have quite a bit of movement here for the next fight.

[21:46:43] I think one last thing before we toss over some donations to mention is that if you look at the bottom right,

[21:46:49] that drive gauge is totally locked up so Nintendo would love to be using Valorform

[21:46:53] to run into the next fight faster

[21:46:54] But unfortunately can't due to story free

[21:46:56] And in the underworld of heroes there's heroes

[21:46:58] Other than that we are continuing

[21:47:00] That adventure to one million dollars

[21:47:02] I want to see it during the kingdom arts 2 run let's take

[21:47:05] you over to the house let's hear some donations absolutely we have a 25 donation from kubaru

[21:47:12] donating 25 money during one of my favorite

[21:47:16] games of all time being done

[21:47:18] by Ninten, one of my favorite runners.

[21:47:21] I've been looking forward to this run

[21:47:22] all week and I'm so glad it is

[21:47:24] here.

[21:47:27] Great run with an amazing runner and couch, best of luck

[21:47:28] on the run then 10. Time to

[21:47:30] ante up on getting these incentives met

[21:47:33] and support an amazing cause

[21:47:34] got it memorized? Putting my donation towards

[21:47:39] the bonus any percent run of Morrowind! Absolutely folks if you haven't seen

[21:47:44] that there is an incentive live now for $20,000.

[21:47:49] We're already at almost 3,000 to get a bonus any% run for that.

[21:47:55] Alright and we are on one of the scariest fights of the speed run here yep let me just do this menu very quick

[21:48:04] all right yeah giving donald his dollar cure back

[21:48:07] we would actually like him to cure us this time but as everyone knows we'll see what happens.

[21:48:11] Yeah so we're gonna jump back and do a fire here. So as Thar mentioned the enemies attack you whenever you attack them

[21:48:16] And that's great for the bats because they actually do,

[21:48:19] uh, they give us to reaction command a bat cry which does

[21:48:21] a ton of damage. It nearly one-shots everything in this entire fight.

[21:48:24] So that was our first platform. There are three platforms

[21:48:27] And the reason this fight is actually extremely scary

[21:48:29] is because we get two shot by nearly everything

[21:48:31] These Lancers do a ton of damage

[21:48:33] I want my party members to be here

[21:48:35] To body block for me right there

[21:48:37] See Ornn, or Donald actually took a hit there

[21:48:40] Yeah that first person

[21:48:41] was not just swag from Ninten although he

[21:48:43] does that too but also it helps

[21:48:45] the party members warp up to you

[21:48:47] and Donald took the hit as a result.

[21:48:49] That's a beautiful second platform right there.

[21:48:52] So here's how much damage you'll see from the backfire,

[21:48:54] it might actually kill the Lancers and get close at least.

[21:48:57] One important thing about Hades Fireball is one

[21:48:59] it can do a lot of damage to you but also

[21:49:01] when it hits enemies they can knock them away

[21:49:03] as well yep so this is actually the last wave with the fight the large body kind of one shot me

[21:49:09] uh one more back crash should be enough. This is a bit scary.

[21:49:13] That was a good push.

[21:49:15] Nice option!

[21:49:19] Down to the first platform,

[21:49:21] the bat decided to move towards

[21:49:23] the exit so he could finish it down the ramp faster that was incredible

[21:49:27] yeah nintendo showing his experience you know nearly 10 years of

[21:49:31] running this game at this point that i think even, like we've done lots

[21:49:34] of runs with this, I could see just grab

[21:49:36] the bat and start hitting the large body

[21:49:38] but he knew I have just enough time

[21:49:41] to fit in throwing a potion

[21:49:42] and still catch the back end of that reaction command.

[21:49:45] Use the Batcry, and get through to the exit. Great job!

[21:49:48] We have potions customized because we're gonna use them as like

[21:49:51] a safety tool throughout the run. Every time I get hit

[21:49:54] I want a potion because i don't

[21:49:56] want to take it back yeah and dying in this run we cannot emphasize enough is really bad

[21:50:02] yeah i can definitely use a lot of times there's really nowhere you ever want to die yeah like it would only be

[21:50:09] wait no oh oh no what no you suck oh yes that is the sign we were mickey was in our face uh so yeah

[21:50:20] we pulled one over on your chat wow that's never not

[21:50:24] yes it's funny every time. You got me.

[21:50:29] Well, we need the next run ready to go.

[21:50:31] Where's Bloodhound?

[21:50:33] But yeah...

[21:50:34] Run permagunth.

[21:50:35] So there are several fights in this game where Mickey has a chance to spawn and kind of save you from losing the fight if you take it down.

[21:50:43] That chance is actually guaranteed the first time you die in one of these fights. So, Mickey will always

[21:50:50] spawn here if this is the first time we die in one of those fights and it just turns out

[21:50:55] that he's generally faster here. Not even always because Mickey can be a jerk and not

[21:51:00] really do that well, but he did pretty well there

[21:51:02] I think. I feel like he did okay.

[21:51:03] Ideally, that is the only other time we'll see

[21:51:06] Mickey throughout the entire run.

[21:51:08] There was like a thought

[21:51:09] to use him in one other fight,

[21:51:10] but again, as Hobbs said,

[21:51:12] the first time it's 100% guarantee.

[21:51:14] The next time I believe

[21:51:14] he drops under an 85% chance

[21:51:16] that'll show up.

[21:51:17] Around there, yeah.

[21:51:17] And thankfully enough

[21:51:18] other strategies have been found

[21:51:20] to where that's just not necessary.

[21:51:21] It would suck if you had a raw...

[21:51:22] There is like a ton of background mechanics happening throughout the speedrun

[21:51:26] and we probably can't get into all them right now but

[21:51:28] Mickey is one of them where like we know

[21:51:30] the percentage chances

[21:51:32] that one will get Mickey. Right. And thankfully we're no longer in the Underworld so

[21:51:36] we can actually go back into those Drive Forms for movement and

[21:51:40] we'll reiterate it a few times, but Valorform is our fastest method of movement right now because you just run faster.

[21:51:44] Even that room which was so short, it's worth going into Valorform to get the run speed.

[21:51:50] Right here we're just to get uh 20 orbs

[21:51:54] uh seven times three is twenty so seven earns it's so funny

[21:51:58] i'm such a math brain and i've never thought yeah just make sure you blow up

[21:52:02] seven seven minutes i've been running this game for four years and I've never thought, just make sure you blow up seven.

[21:52:03] I've been running this game for four years

[21:52:05] and I never knew each one dropped three.

[21:52:07] I just killed urns until they got enough.

[21:52:11] Now Nintendo needs to get 100

[21:52:12] but there is going to be a large urn that drops

[21:52:14] a bunch of orbs later. So he's just trying to kind of get as much as he can until

[21:52:18] that spawns and clearing out space for it. Yeah.

[21:52:22] Unfortunately not unfortunately that spawn was right next to Ninten

[21:52:28] Now Ninten's just gonna chill until we get the last wave

[21:52:30] It's better to just chill in the middle of the room

[21:52:33] Cause this urn drops three big orbs each one worth ten.

[21:52:36] Hundred to hundred. We clap for math let's go.

[21:52:40] Hey yo! Big Math. Now we're going to be making our way down into

[21:52:44] the underworld on our way to kind of a rough little gauntlet of fights coming up here.

[21:52:49] But we do have about another 40 seconds, I would say, to get another donation on that way to $1 million!

[21:52:55] Let's get it! We a 1500 donation from bl12 great cause great game

[21:53:03] great time what more can we ask for we have a donation from the lovely community of Ninten,

[21:53:09] Zack The Robot.

[21:53:11] Hey!

[21:53:12] Woo!

[21:53:13] For $500 I couldn't think of a better person

[21:53:15] to showcase this game to the GDQ audience than you,

[21:53:19] Ninten. Keep crushing it!

[21:53:20] Thank you so much.

[21:53:22] Also, Zach's been doing

[21:53:23] a ton of awesome work on our initials.

[21:53:30] You're good to go for another one yep awesome we have a 100 donation at msf from

[21:53:34] paji713 always a treat seeing Kingdom Hearts

[21:53:40] 2 at GDQ.

[21:53:42] Good luck to you, Ninten. May the silliness

[21:53:44] keep itself in line today

[21:53:46] and may your turtles be nothingness.

[21:53:48] Shout out to Poggi's podgey is a very good uh any percent

[21:53:53] runner of this game so speaking of the silliness we have

[21:53:56] to do a minigame here with demix defeat 100 clones we have to defeat 100 clones.

[21:54:00] We have to hit the clones

[21:54:02] to get the wild dance reaction commands

[21:54:04] and it's kind of random

[21:54:06] where Vrasura faces when he does the command

[21:54:08] so we want him ideally

[21:54:09] to face towards Demyx

[21:54:10] because that is where the clones spawn from.

[21:54:12] But sometimes if you get knocked away far away, it just slows us down a bit.

[21:54:19] Also fun fact is that the RC actually pulls in party members.

[21:54:22] If you look at them they're going to be pulled in by the end of the Magic Command here.

[21:54:26] But we already called all three of you guys during our practice.

[21:54:28] Yeah I didn't actually know.

[21:54:37] Yo! Not bad. 45 plus. Good. 45 plus. the Olympus stone so we can go into Drive Forms now.

[21:54:42] Yep and I was going to say Ninten also picked up an item earlier in the large we got the Olympus Stone, so we can go into dry forms now.

[21:54:43] Yep! And I was going to say, Ninten also picked up an item earlier in a large chest

[21:54:46] that was a power boost that gives that one extra strength

[21:54:49] and as we mentioned before...

[21:54:52] As we've mentioned before, that strength matters.

[21:54:53] Every single stat matters especially on crit like level 1

[21:54:56] there's a certain point where those stats stop mattering but critical mode

[21:54:59] they're gonna matter the whole time.

[21:55:02] And so right here is another fight that's kind of like an autoscooter. It's timed for one minute, but the interesting thing about this fight

[21:55:08] Is we can farm experience here just like the one in Night of Dragons

[21:55:13] I cannot survive so gotta be a little careful.

[21:55:18] I can also die

[21:55:19] as the bowling ball's like inside me right there.

[21:55:21] So a cool thing about this fight

[21:55:23] is that if you make Pete attack you, it will actually

[21:55:26] make his AI summon the next wave Ruby.

[21:55:28] Shout out to Slickzilla12 for finding

[21:55:30] that relatively recently. Yeah, it's a pretty new game.

[21:55:33] So the goal here is to actually keep one soldier alive and have your party members or yourself kill him while Pete is retaliating.

[21:55:39] And that will make them immediately summon The Last Wave.

[21:55:43] A little bit too early, but I think he may...

[21:55:47] Yeah so that right there if the soldier was alive after

[21:55:50] he started retaliating then they would have spawned

[21:55:52] right here.

[21:55:53] Pretty weird mechanic.

[21:55:54] And I think his AI is in a state where he's just going to

[21:55:56] keep doing everything but summoning enemies.

[21:55:58] Yeah, it's alright though because we got good experience right here.

[21:56:02] We've got one extra. Yeah that's kind of standard. And now the terrifying

[21:56:06] part is if you die in this phase of the fight,

[21:56:08] You have to do that entire like minute or so

[21:56:11] Effectively auto-scrolling segment over again.

[21:56:13] Bad RNG right there that he's immediately going into the pinball

[21:56:18] Okay I think both of this

[21:56:22] so that's one of those examples where party members can actually mess up uh

[21:56:26] strategies that we do because donald hit the bat um

[21:56:29] which makes him not do the back cry attack yep and now we have

[21:56:32] access to one of what i would call the holy trinity of limits that we get in this game those

[21:56:37] are abilities you team up with your party members to do some kind of big attack, it's not quite like a dry form where you change your form entirely but it's just a single

[21:56:45] attack that is really big. Trinity Limit is an extremely useful one and we'll use it for the entire rest of the run. And, it has two different forms

[21:56:52] of it. The one that we care about here

[21:56:54] is Group Trinity. Basically when you have

[21:56:56] Donald and Goofy with you specifically

[21:56:58] then you can actually use a

[21:57:00] three part... well really a three-part,

[21:57:01] well really even four part Trinity

[21:57:03] where you have a bunch of attacks

[21:57:06] that deal hits to a boss but no damage.

[21:57:08] And at the end,

[21:57:09] that big finisher that animation

[21:57:10] you just saw deals damage based on how many hits you did.

[21:57:13] You're going to see just how ridiculous that ability is in the next phase of this

[21:57:17] fight. But right now we are going to get up on the Hydra's back

[21:57:21] like the audience just said

[21:57:23] and knock them out and just slowly little

[21:57:26] them down with their base combat yeah so if we don't do that ratchet command

[21:57:29] then he'll start summoning more heads but as long as they're stunned i would

[21:57:32] simply give it a three of them here.

[21:57:33] And I think the party members are handling that over there so he has less health.

[21:57:38] Now coming up here I'm going to use another Trinity Limit because my magic came back

[21:57:41] just in time with the ability MPH Sarah.

[21:57:45] Yeah those Trinity Limits and all limits take your entire MP bar like

[21:57:47] every amount of blue that is left.

[21:57:50] Drop a little bit into the second part

[21:57:51] of the trinity... now just watch this health

[21:57:53] bar.

[21:57:56] If Nindim will lock here. trinity now just watch this health bar

[21:58:02] if ninjimu lock care huge chunk that's because it did 85 hits and if you get really lucky you can get like over 100 hits hits on that. Like it's absolutely wild. Looks

[21:58:07] like Nathan is going to do a couple of hits, see if he can get the kill which I think he

[21:58:11] can. I think he's good. Oh wait, wait, wait. There we go.

[21:58:19] You know I never knew about that blizzard

[21:58:23] That's actually really nice

[21:58:25] I always run up to the door and say that's great Shoot shoot them rise they're going flamingo style that's great yeah

[21:58:30] that was a really good olympus coliseum by now yeah that is one of the nightmare splits for

[21:58:35] any category in this game with this colise CM with the amount of RNG and skill

[21:58:39] it takes to react to the RNG you're given.

[21:58:41] And Ninten played beautifully.

[21:58:42] And on top of that, almost every fight

[21:58:45] is just so punishing in the amount

[21:58:46] of time you lose if you take a death.

[21:58:48] You gotta run all the way back, Pete.

[21:58:50] You gotta do that first minute section again.

[21:58:53] Hydra, you have to get up on the Hydra's

[21:58:55] back again.

[21:58:56] So here we're gonna see Pooh...

[21:59:00] Yo my man!

[21:59:02] Winnie the pooh just to clarify?

[21:59:06] What?

[21:59:08] We just brought in the hero's crest right there.

[21:59:10] It's a really good keyblade, we're gonna have it on for awhile.

[21:59:14] The Nintens...

[21:59:16] So we're adding some physical

[21:59:18] latency there.

[21:59:20] So just gonna end this fight real quick, right there the Slide Dash did 3 hits on the Soldier and that makes him do the Cyclone attack which

[21:59:27] We actually did in the tower as well but it's nice to have some action abilities that will speed up a lot of

[21:59:32] fights.

[21:59:34] Alright. See ya, Grandpa.

[21:59:36] Not Grandpa.

[21:59:38] See ya, Grandpa. Check out Grand Poo

[21:59:40] World 3 tomorrow night!

[21:59:45] Yeah, that is the entirety of 100 acre wood that we'll be seeing in this run yep yep shout outs to saving another five minutes yep for four

[21:59:50] minutes or whatever it was oh yes this is modded yep and now here we're also

[21:59:54] gonna take a death at the start it's kind of a theme that at the beginning of a new world you're

[21:59:58] going to be able to see definitely just the first fight of it yeah and this does like

[22:00:02] taper off towards the end of the run but she's gonna remind him by

[22:00:05] sardonyx right yes almost forget but what were you saying i was just to say that tapers off

[22:00:10] the further we get in the run uh these fights that allow you to like lose enough health to

[22:00:14] finish them right um but in this early part of the run we're gonna do that where we can otherwise

[22:00:19] some of them like you can either deal enough hits or you can just have it take enough time but

[22:00:25] dying is fast so we're going to do that.

[22:00:27] Another nice thing about taking the death abuse as well

[22:00:30] is that it skips the ending animation which...

[22:00:32] It fades to black.

[22:00:36] We have time for a couple quick donations.

[22:00:40] I've got a couple of themed

[22:00:42] donations for you!

[22:00:44] We have a $25 donation from

[22:00:46] Migrino that says

[22:00:48] Ninten keeps skipping the cut

[22:00:50] scenes, so I'm getting a little lost

[22:00:52] how much to get a

[22:00:54] quick plot summary of the entire Kingdom Hearts series.

[22:00:58] I'm sure it's straightforward if you watch the cutscenes.

[22:01:02] Nintec, you're just gonna need to pause for a second.

[22:01:06] Here's the thing, if we let let them run you would be more confused i gotta catch a flight in

[22:01:11] the morning and we have a one thousand dollar donation from please excuse my pronunciation Ari Gary on I was going to

[22:01:22] try and summarize the plot of Kingdom Hearts but there's a 5,000 character

[22:01:27] limit on donation comments.

[22:01:30] Very fair. Thank you for those donations.

[22:01:32] Into Thresholder here we have another boss

[22:01:36] and Chicken Little is the...

[22:01:39] This is the first time we're seeing Chicken Little, right?

[22:01:41] Yeah.

[22:01:41] This is the summon of choice for this fight.

[22:01:43] We'll see more about Chicken Little later and explain more of it

[22:01:46] but all you really need to know here

[22:01:47] is that this is always going to be two phases on critical mode,

[22:01:50] just due to the way the boss works.

[22:01:52] Yeah and also

[22:01:53] summons are really good in this game.

[22:01:56] We're gonna use them a bunch.

[22:01:58] I believe we'll be seeing all of them. Maybe all but one of them?

[22:02:03] Okay. Yeah you should see Stitch in this one!

[22:02:06] Spoiler alert!

[22:02:08] Oh my goodness.

[22:02:10] Yeah, I didn't know about Pan or not if we're going to get that. Mr.

[22:02:12] Pan.

[22:02:14] But yeah, we'll talk more

[22:02:16] about Chicken Little later because that is

[22:02:18] the last use of Chicken Little in this world.

[22:02:20] Yeah, he's going to really shine in the next two worlds we're

[22:02:23] going to go too we're kind of explain his mechanics more yeah but yeah

[22:02:27] another great place for like two donations before we get the Beast. Awesome, we have a

[22:02:33] $123.45

[22:02:35] donation from Brett.

[22:02:38] Come on y'all, let's

[22:02:39] get to one million!

[22:02:41] Ooh!

[22:02:44] We have a $50 donation

[22:02:46] from Jacob4260.

[22:02:49] So

[22:02:50] incredible to see my favorite runner

[22:02:52] run my favorite game. Thank you to GDQ and best of luck, Nintent!

[22:02:55] Jacob is the one that made this mod.

[22:02:58] Yeah! That timeless river Sora is pretty cool, I cannot lie.

[22:03:08] Time for one more?

[22:03:11] Okay, $10 donation from Yovari! If we get to

[22:03:13] 1 million, will Spike sing us a song?

[22:03:16] You know what? Sure!

[22:03:18] Yeah.

[22:03:19] Alright folks!

[22:03:24] Oh my goodness I've never seen that.

[22:03:26] That was very odd.

[22:03:28] Intent went to the moon.

[22:03:30] So that was Beast?

[22:03:31] Yeah.

[22:03:32] Nice spacing of Intents combos there

[22:03:34] to where the AOE of the second finisher could kind

[22:03:37] of fit in around Beast's attacks. Because Beast is, kinda like

[22:03:41] a lot of other enemies you might run into this game, they can just brick wall and don't stagger

[22:03:45] if you don't use Cogsworth's reaction command right there.

[22:03:49] So yeah,

[22:03:50] sometimes you have to know how to fit in your hits even

[22:03:52] if they're not going to do anything.

[22:03:54] Any more example of the save warping

[22:03:56] tech to just save a lot of time the movement yeah those are like the biggest

[22:04:00] safe orbs right there going all the way from beast room all the way to the front we're gonna

[22:04:05] fight the boss mm-hmm and what do you know know more valor form yeah coming into this

[22:04:10] boss too like this boss is a perfect example of how specific positioning is

[22:04:15] and how position can affect not just it can affect enemy ai

[22:04:18] can uh affect uh patterns behaviors or affect not just it can affect the enemy AI can affect patterns

[22:04:20] behaviors or just

[22:04:21] other other facets of

[22:04:23] the fight.

[22:04:24] Yes stepping back

[22:04:25] right there yeah we

[22:04:25] take a step back and

[22:04:27] that actually makes

[22:04:27] them go underground as

[22:04:28] opposed to going into

[22:04:29] the window and we do going into the window.

[22:04:30] And we do that because the window loses a lot of time,

[22:04:32] so if we're able to beat him before he goes into the window

[22:04:35] then that would save a ton.

[22:04:37] Do a full combo here, get a lot of damage in

[22:04:39] because we have Hewris oh nice very good

[22:04:44] not only does it save the time i'm not of the enemy not going into the window but also nintendo

[22:04:48] has a lot more valor for him to able to use in this next fight.

[22:04:52] I think we'll end up reverting manually, if I'm not mistaken.

[22:04:55] So at the beginning of this fight, one neat thing about Valor Form is that you can actually enter combo early

[22:05:00] which you can't usually do in this way.

[22:05:02] But some forms in the skin that you end it earlier

[22:05:06] and that let's us make doctoring go into a super armor state

[22:05:10] And then he attacks right here.

[22:05:11] We're going to use the limit during his retaliation try to catch

[22:05:15] a lot of this looks like you over damage him just a little bit yeah and then do an upper slash which

[22:05:20] you just got knocks them into the air get air combos in right before it goes down

[22:05:24] she was about to jump your lock on reticle just went away yeah so scary

[22:05:30] that was very good and that's the end of Beast Castle.

[22:05:35] Just like that nice quick fight Upper Slash getting some really cool utility there

[22:05:37] that little mid-ground finisher

[22:05:39] to knock them up in the air

[22:05:41] and kind of reset his ability

[22:05:43] to keep doing those air combos.

[22:05:45] Because with that Hero's Crest Keyblade

[22:05:47] that we just got from the Lovest Coliseum,

[22:05:48] we didn't bring it up a little bit

[22:05:49] of a higher strength stat,

[22:05:50] but the big thing is it's got air combo boost

[22:05:52] is the ability it comes with

[22:05:54] where just your aerial finishers

[22:05:56] will do increased damage

[22:05:58] based on the number of hits that are in

[22:06:00] your air combo. You also see stuff

[22:06:02] like a combo boost version for

[22:06:04] the ground variants later on, another Keyblade we'll use.

[22:06:06] But Hero's Crest is going to be the king of your

[22:06:09] Keyblades for a while here.

[22:06:11] For a while here.

[22:06:12] Yeah and another thing is that

[22:06:14] we're not exclusively using air combos anymore. Nintendo is doing a lot of ground combos here and there,

[22:06:18] and that's mostly due to some of the abilities

[22:06:20] you've gotten like Slide Dash which

[22:06:22] is an extremely good gap closer.

[22:06:24] We talk about gap closers a lot when

[22:06:25] we do randomizer stuff or even just the regular speedrun,

[22:06:28] because a lot of enemies don't spawn right next to you.

[22:06:31] They spawn further away.

[22:06:33] So you need something to close that gap and slide much as good.

[22:06:36] Believe it or not, one of the hardest strats in the game.

[22:06:42] Nintenz just pushing that mouse

[22:06:46] God this is so hard to do legitimately we're not meaning this is

[22:06:50] really difficult and with oh my god without the faith rc nintendo knows when mini

[22:06:58] is going to do her little orb attack,

[22:06:59] which can sometimes put her slightly out of position.

[22:07:01] But because he knows the timing and got into that fight set up perfectly

[22:07:05] he's able to rack to it, keep her next to the wall

[22:07:08] and push her to victory.

[22:07:09] Yes, so her hitbox is basically like a circular thing keep her next to the wall and push her to victory.

[22:07:09] Yeah, so her hitbox is basically like a circular

[22:07:11] hitbox and the wall is flat

[22:07:14] So it's really hard to push her because if you go straight forward

[22:07:17] then you'll move her away from the wall

[22:07:18] You have to kind of push her inwards.

[22:07:21] Yeah we love frame fatales but we don't want to see this faith command

[22:07:25] in that last room. So this is one of the spots

[22:07:29] where an engine's able to catch up on experience or make sure that his experience is good.

[22:07:34] There are a lot of Bolt Towers in here that will get hit by this Faith Reaction command,

[22:07:38] and Ninten's looking at that Experience value that pops up in the top left whenever one of them

[22:07:43] dies to see where he needs yeah i need a lot of it here so we're gonna spend some time

[22:07:46] level running just a bit yep i think you want to be at 525 to next level

[22:07:50] yeah yeah because one of the because one of the things is

[22:07:53] in this room it would be really hard

[22:07:55] to push Minnie because there's not like a wall

[22:07:57] right next to you to push her forward

[22:07:59] so the fastest way to just move across

[22:08:01] it is run for it a little bit, call her over, use that reaction

[22:08:04] command, that faith reaction command and then do

[22:08:06] it again over and over. So since we have to

[22:08:08] do that anyways he can go ahead

[22:08:10] and spend you know take a small

[22:08:12] diversion to kill some bolt towers

[22:08:13] It's fun to be one more spent you know take a small diversion to kill some bull towers

[22:08:14] oh maybe it's fun to be one more

[22:08:18] nice that is yeah you normally do not have to level ground that much so

[22:08:22] that was weird that was a. That was a good backup, like a good recovery there.

[22:08:26] But now we're back

[22:08:27] on track, so...

[22:08:29] Just handing out to Hollow Bastion real quick and then

[22:08:31] this is what I consider the end of early

[22:08:33] games, so we're moving into the middle portion of the game where we have a lot

[22:08:36] more abilities and the fights get

[22:08:38] a lot more intense. We have a lot more

[22:08:40] spells. This game's so fast

[22:08:42] when you don't have to do an obfuscation every

[22:08:43] ten minutes.

[22:08:45] Yeah it was It is so much faster. Every like 10 minutes. Yep, yep.

[22:08:48] Yeah it was one of those like it always happens in speed running

[22:08:50] where the stuff that

[22:08:51] is under your control

[22:08:52] as speed runs develop

[22:08:54] just get faster and faster

[22:08:55] but the stuff you can't control with speedruns develop, just get faster and faster

[22:08:56] but the stuff that you

[22:08:57] can't control the speed of

[22:08:58] like your auto-scrollers

[22:08:59] they were just staying

[22:09:01] that amount of time.

[22:09:02] So I thought with this mod

[22:09:03] we're finally able

[22:09:03] to take those out

[22:09:04] the run goes by so fast.

[22:09:06] It also allows you to do things like use uh

[22:09:08] like soft reset and stuff just kind of help oh yeah there's a lot of practice

[22:09:11] for this as well yeah in that last minute ninten put on the sardonic string

[22:09:15] that we bought in beast castle gives him one more strength stat.

[22:09:19] By the end of this run, everyone is going to know

[22:09:21] one strength.

[22:09:22] It's huge!

[22:09:24] One strength to rule them all.

[22:09:25] On top of hitting a level up by the end of the Windows here because you want it for the boss fight of this world.

[22:09:32] So right now we are finally going to really get to see what is so powerful about Chicken Little.

[22:09:36] So by creating specific distance between yourself, Chicken Little and the enemies

[22:09:41] you can get this whistle command right here where he will draw all the enemies in that are close enough

[22:09:47] And then you can start doing various attacks on them.

[22:09:50] Right here, using that reaction command

[22:09:52] if he could keep just a little bit of height right here

[22:09:54] he can knock all of them out

[22:09:56] That is a very hard first window

[22:09:58] And smartly hitting one of the hammers, because he knew who was going to fall just below the threshold

[22:10:01] to get that last RC. Because he had kept him in the air. Beautiful finish.

[22:10:06] Chicken Little is a very particular summon where like what

[22:10:09] he does is pretty consistent

[22:10:11] but knowing how to control him and being able

[22:10:13] to control mid-run

[22:10:14] it's a very difficult thing to learn.

[22:10:16] It absolutely is because

[22:10:17] like Spike was saying

[22:10:18] it's not just based on your position

[22:10:20] it's based on Chicken Little's position

[22:10:21] the enemy's position and your position. It's based on Chicken Little's position, the enemy's position and

[22:10:22] your position and how all of those things

[22:10:24] relate to one another so

[22:10:26] very tough to do. I like to think this is a good

[22:10:28] example we have four mob fights in

[22:10:30] row here. The way this game works, our bosses...

[22:10:33] We have a really good idea of what we're going to do and a lot

[22:10:35] of bosses, and we can kind of just try to execute

[22:10:37] the one specific thing we want to do.

[22:10:39] But mob fights are like, we have an

[22:10:41] idea of what we want to do.

[22:10:43] The game might not let us do that, but we have an idea of what we want to do. The game might not let us do that but we have an idea and so you

[22:10:46] have to be ready to handle all the different variations that can come from

[22:10:49] that if you aren't able to do...to have it go exactly how you wanted.

[22:10:52] Absolutely! There's a lot more randomness within

[22:10:54] It's just that many more enemies on screen

[22:10:56] That many more variables

[22:10:58] that you have to worry about

[22:11:00] Yes, we mentioned having

[22:11:00] the get back drive before

[22:11:02] There is actually mechanic in this game

[22:11:03] where if your party members are not with you at the time, then if you have a summon out or if you're on a drive form it'll just give you back your drive.

[22:11:10] And so we actually use that throughout the windows here and this fight in particular the party members will be with us so we can't use a summon

[22:11:17] in that fight which is why we end it with treatment oh one more window yes i was i

[22:11:23] was curious about the order that's that's a level one thing you do so windows

[22:11:26] in a different order and level one this will be weird but it's fine no it's all right yeah

[22:11:32] you just deal with our chicken model i believe in you yeah Yeah, we got this.

[22:11:37] Here we've got one of the most infamous enemies for people casually

[22:11:41] in Kingdom Hearts 2. Yo shouts to Sora!

[22:11:45] Shouts to Donald! You know what, Sorafer taking it on the lip

[22:11:48] that was great.

[22:11:50] This is how you hundo with cards by the way

[22:11:52] because a lot of people don't know how to hundo with cards

[22:11:54] just use counter guard.

[22:11:56] Chicken Little would be making quick work of them as well because not only

[22:11:59] can he group them up and they can't

[22:12:00] hurt you, but also he could throw a

[22:12:02] baseball at him to knock him up in the air so they're vulnerable

[22:12:04] again. But Ninten with a really

[22:12:07] good on-the-fly routing here going for Trinity Limit.

[22:12:10] Getting that big strength increase there at the end, now you'll have that strength

[22:12:14] for both Pete and Peet-Pete.

[22:12:17] Couldn't use Triggin Little there because Nint Nintendo wanted to use Valor Form here.

[22:12:21] So, like he was saying, each of those windows puts you back in a room with no party members

[22:12:26] You would get all your drive-back except the last one.

[22:12:29] The last one, your party members are still with you so

[22:12:30] you would remain with that Chicken Little out and we don't need Chicken Little here, we need Valorform

[22:12:34] Yeah, and one of the big reasons why we're in Valorform is that Valorform has two Keyblades

[22:12:38] And that affects our stats, so we have the stats of both Keyblades

[22:12:41] which makes us do a lot more damage.

[22:12:45] So the name of game here is Don't Get Knocked Off.

[22:12:47] Yeah, this is a good example

[22:12:50] of how long it takes to start

[22:12:52] another combo after a finisher.

[22:12:55] Um, Ninten might do some

[22:12:56] like pause buffering here and there in this

[22:12:58] fight because he's looking

[22:13:00] to see if... Okay, there it is.

[22:13:02] He's basically wanting

[22:13:04] to make sure that

[22:13:06] he's not going to be in a finisher when the game

[22:13:08] wants to throw him off

[22:13:10] Because even though it might look like oh he's done with the attack he can hit triangle

[22:13:14] there's a long period of time in there where you actually can't and then it's just enough drive to

[22:13:18] start this fight invalid form which is pretty big save us a few us a few more seconds in this fight.

[22:13:25] They get that short Valorform combo right there,

[22:13:27] now we're gonna use Shrouding Limit here.

[22:13:29] Ultima gets a ton of hits

[22:13:31] especially because of the fire that's here

[22:13:33] so the fire racked up a ton of pits here

[22:13:35] and that gets into the next phase as good the fire in this fight is actually very very dangerous to

[22:13:41] have to interact with so it's good you just get out of this one immediately.

[22:13:45] Into phase three. Yeah, and this is a

[22:13:47] fight that's a great example of something

[22:13:49] that's going to come up a lot later called Revenge Value

[22:13:51] and Thar, I know you like to talk about this one.

[22:13:53] Oh, well, Revenge Value is just basically a hidden mechanic in the game

[22:13:56] that the community found a while back in Dub Group Ender Valley.

[22:13:59] But it's basically when you're fighting a humanoid boss

[22:14:01] and even some heartless and nobodies,

[22:14:04] uh,

[22:14:04] when you hit them enough,

[22:14:05] they will stop staggering and they will get you back like

[22:14:08] he just did right there um but that's basically mechanic built in by the deaths to prevent us

[22:14:13] from basically comboing bosses from 100 to 0.

[22:14:16] Double tap, let's go!

[22:14:18] That's the end of Timeless River.

[22:14:21] But revenge value is going to be very important

[22:14:23] throughout this entire run especially in in-game

[22:14:25] so we're gonna see a lot more of it.

[22:14:28] Yeah that boss also is a good example

[22:14:30] how a lot of bosses will have multiple phases

[22:14:32] to them and this one you could only get

[22:14:34] to a specific amount of health then he shifts

[22:14:36] to the next phase and that happens over and over. Some bosses you can damage them

[22:14:38] totally past a phase, maybe skip a phase entirely

[22:14:40] Others you might be hard limited

[22:14:42] by how much damage you can do before they move

[22:14:44] into another phase so all of that

[22:14:46] changes up the strategies for the various bosses.

[22:14:49] And they're at the end

[22:14:51] Of Disney Castle getting a bunch of cool tools

[22:14:54] We'll get into later reflect your best magic in the game

[22:14:57] Fantasia, the second of that holy trinity of limits

[22:15:00] and the wisdom

[22:15:01] form ability, our next

[22:15:03] Super Saiyan form that we can blow up. Right there I ended

[22:15:06] the fight instantly. Something really cool about that right

[22:15:08] there was that I did a slide bash into a bomb and two pirates, even though it didn't seem like it.

[22:15:12] Which did 10 hits. Shout out to SunZero for finding that strat right there.

[22:15:15] Yeah also ChickenLittle doing the whistle kind of affects the fight as well yeah yeah these are like some

[22:15:23] of the classic speed run fights right here and this is

[22:15:26] where you want to show people oh why is chicken little so good because

[22:15:29] of how you spawn into these it perfectly sets

[22:15:32] it up the distance he'll draw them in two pops

[22:15:36] nintendo just has to move back very slightly

[22:15:39] draw them back step back again Draw the soldiers that spawn in

[22:15:42] and then the alley-oop

[22:15:44] and we outta there!

[22:15:46] I don't think a strat's ever gonna change.

[22:15:48] And sometimes the double thunder

[22:15:50] doesn't even kill it you kind of need

[22:15:52] chicken litter like all sorts of fireworks in there and they have to land

[22:15:55] properly so happy fourth of july

[22:16:01] go into a little bit of a menu here.

[22:16:04] Going to customize that reflect spell

[22:16:06] that we just got, and Ninten also took

[22:16:08] off fire there because fire is actually at the

[22:16:10] top of the magic menu so if Ninten

[22:16:12] ever needs to use it can menu it from the Magic Menu pretty easily.

[22:16:14] Whereas some other spells are a little bit further down

[22:16:17] might be more complicated to do.

[22:16:19] Yep so we got a little ambush here

[22:16:21] and after you get rid of enemies before

[22:16:23] we go to our destination

[22:16:25] let's talk about these pirates a bit you notice that our magic interacts with

[22:16:28] them in a kind of interesting way our blizzard is

[22:16:31] going to be freezing them and we're going to be doing that

[22:16:33] a lot throughout this world but the pirates are incredibly weak to magic

[22:16:37] so we're gonna be using chicken little position them out of the shade because

[22:16:41] just like the pirates and pirates of the caribbean when they're in the shade their

[22:16:44] true form skeleton form shows and that's the only way

[22:16:46] we can do damage to them. So we're going

[22:16:48] to use Chicken Little, whistle them out of the shade, Blizzard

[22:16:50] keep them in place and just finish

[22:16:52] them off with some magic. Yeah this is one of our last

[22:16:54] timed segments in the game and ideally i'm looking to kill

[22:16:57] 12 pirates here because that gives us a good amount of experience but unfortunately they can

[22:17:03] just choose not to walk over here because they spawn in that section over there.

[22:17:07] Yeah, this fight and several of the

[22:17:10] fights in this world are actually quite scary

[22:17:11] because you have the

[22:17:13] crossbow wielders

[22:17:15] in the back there that can just, if they stagger their shots

[22:17:20] just right you might have to either not attack for a long time or

[22:17:24] just get shot and that is not what you want to have happen.

[22:17:29] And the Axemen, if you don't have them

[22:17:31] sucked up by Chicken Little's little

[22:17:33] group magnet effect

[22:17:35] then they can also deal a bunch of damage

[22:17:37] to you. It is absolutely brutal. One nice thing to you it is uh it is absolutely brutal one nice thing

[22:17:39] to point out is that chicken little has hp drains every attack that we do with chicken

[22:17:44] little out would give us back hp oh nice the beautiful lineup right there on all those blizzards.

[22:17:51] Easily got a Buzzer's Pirate even.

[22:17:53] Yeah we got 12 there which is good.

[22:17:56] Tintin did pick up a chest in that fight and that wasn't just by accident or just to goof around we need that item

[22:18:01] later to get an elixir towards the end of the run yeah we just need one synthesis item and now

[22:18:07] we have one of the scariest fights here in the mid game portion of the run mm-hmm

[22:18:12] got both fight yep after this ambush

[22:18:15] real quick oh yeah find us out to get

[22:18:17] more experience both is actually really

[22:18:19] scary on critical mode because we want Chicken Little to position the enemies in a very specific spot and kill them at a certain time.

[22:18:27] So, I'm going to walk backwards here to get the whistle out. The cannonballs are already bad because they give them the status effects of fire, which makes them run around with a super armor state so that they don't get affected by anything.

[22:18:38] Just chiming in we hit $ 40k left to 1 million!

[22:18:48] Yeah you can see

[22:18:50] that pirate just walked right through

[22:18:52] the blizzard because they were in the shadow. Yep, so we're gonna gather them all up right here

[22:18:56] Watch again watch out for two cannonballs

[22:18:57] You want them to be on the stairs these are cannonballs don't show up on the stairs and chicken little will continue to whistle

[22:19:02] I'm here you get some good air combos in now they're

[22:19:06] gonna spawn down there and we want to get a whistle on both of them just like

[22:19:09] that pop another ether get full mp back and these are the last two pirates full MP back.

[22:19:18] And these are the last two pirates. Actually went really well.

[22:19:20] Yeah, that was fantastic.

[22:19:22] Because the thing about that fight is it's scary for multiple reasons

[22:19:24] yeah you can die and that's just an ever-present

[22:19:27] danger or you can

[22:19:28] lose a lot of time because they can just kind of hide around

[22:19:30] in the shadows and stuff but also

[22:19:32] you could run out of Chicken Little if Chicken Little

[22:19:34] gets hit too much

[22:19:35] and that would lose you all your drive

[22:19:38] and you can see nintendo just went into valor form here so he wouldn't be able to do that

[22:19:41] and the next section that we have is quite a bit of running

[22:19:45] and not having valiform because it's going to lose you a lot of time in that section.

[22:19:48] Yeah, and I can't tell you how many runners have lost runs through just this Barrows

[22:19:52] minigame. It could be so hard.

[22:19:56] Now we're gonna run over to Barbossa.

[22:19:57] This is like a good example of just how fast Valorform running

[22:20:02] as compared to Raiosaur, helps you even dodge the attack there.

[22:20:05] You run all the way through.

[22:20:07] We don't need any of the chests in these

[22:20:09] rooms just gonna head straight to the boss

[22:20:11] Ninten's going to open that one up with Valorform

[22:20:13] then eventually revert

[22:20:15] So I don't remember if I got this without him

[22:20:17] You did but yeah you just wanted me to be alive

[22:20:21] one up with valor form and nintendo media i don't know if you were gonna do it before

[22:20:26] i said that i thought ninjin was just doing a bit.

[22:20:29] Oh, I wanted to see if Final Form was in there.

[22:20:32] That's a rando joke.

[22:20:33] Rando joke number two!

[22:20:35] That's a rando joke.

[22:20:37] Alright big Valor combo there and then reverts.

[22:20:41] Didn't quite get an immediate retaliation from the boss, so would have used reflect on that if possible but instead of going into

[22:20:45] blizzard combos, Blizzard's gonna freeze the boss. Barbossa is in fact a pirate

[22:20:49] So he freezes.

[22:20:51] And then again doing those air combos because that

[22:20:54] Air Combo Boost ability on Hero's Crest the Keyblade we're using

[22:20:57] it's going to make you do a lot more damage.

[22:21:00] I'm willing to bet nobody knew you could freeze Barbossa when you played this as a kid.

[22:21:03] I know I did, unless Donald accidentally did it. That might be the lore! That might

[22:21:09] be what happened because the game...I know you always bring this up, Hobbs.

[22:21:13] The game tells you.

[22:21:14] Yeah, the first cutscene.

[22:21:16] It's like one of the first

[22:21:16] cutscenes in the world.

[22:21:17] They're like,

[22:21:18] don't hit the pirate.

[22:21:19] Don't let him hit him

[22:21:19] with your magic.

[22:21:20] It's so strong.

[22:21:22] We're like,

[22:21:22] I didn't listen.

[22:21:23] I didn't listen Keyblade Press X!

[22:21:26] Dude, I was just freaking out because Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Wars

[22:21:30] Like why does Sora look silly?

[22:21:33] Got that good pattern right there on the bandit.

[22:21:34] Wanna get this massive bag.

[22:21:38] Gonna buy more ethers, we haven't really talked about it much but your MP bar is

[22:21:42] actually shortened in Critical Mode if if I'm not mistaken.

[22:21:45] Yes.

[22:21:46] And Magic is very good!

[22:21:48] It's a very good resource. You've seen us using it a lot.

[22:21:50] As well as Limits which use that entire bar or however much of it is left. When you use

[22:21:56] all of your MP bar,

[22:21:57] you have a purple MP recharge

[22:22:00] state where you have to wait out this long

[22:22:02] timer to come back. But if you use

[22:22:04] an Ether, even if you have one MP, if you use an Aether

[22:22:06] it fills you all the way back up

[22:22:08] so Aether's extremely valuable in this round

[22:22:11] Absolutely

[22:22:11] Big menu put on there

[22:22:14] and Ninten can talk about in just a second what was

[22:22:17] up there but first going to be using wisdom form our new drive form from

[22:22:20] timeless river to move around because it has that quick

[22:22:22] run ability and it kind of like lets you ice skate along

[22:22:25] on the ground so it helps. There's no more lag

[22:22:28] frames really as you land before

[22:22:30] you can keep moving. From this point forward,

[22:22:32] more or less wisdom form is going to be our fastest

[22:22:34] form of movement and

[22:22:35] we're barely ever gonna use it in fights. It's pretty much just a movement tool,

[22:22:38] with the exception of leveling it up,

[22:22:40] which we'll see in this world,

[22:22:42] which is how I've talked about before.

[22:22:43] Yeah, so Wisdom Form levels up

[22:22:45] from defeating Heartless specifically

[22:22:46] and there are a ton of partners that'll be

[22:22:48] fighting we're forced to fight in this uh world so

[22:22:52] we go here first some halloween times we can level up

[22:22:54] wisdom form to level three and that's when sir will get access to the quick

[22:22:57] run ability himself.

[22:22:59] Yeah, because those drive forms as they level up their abilities

[22:23:02] get stronger and they unlock some abilities for regular

[22:23:05] Sora when he is not in the drive form

[22:23:07] And one of those is Quick Run

[22:23:11] All our donors must be wearing wisdom form we are so close to a million keep those donations rolling in you're

[22:23:19] doing such a great job folks oh okay

[22:23:24] two hits from that like wave thing will kill me i was going for uh really hard scrap where

[22:23:28] you can actually push abu just like we pushed many earlier in the run

[22:23:32] but again this time just like he said hops now you're on ice skates yeah push it

[22:23:37] with no wall next to you to let me go right so ninten is going to be using Wisdom Form here on this falling, the Chasm of Challenges section.

[22:23:46] Again every single one of these small little tiny enemies counts as 1 experience for wisdom form if they are killed while in

[22:23:55] wisdom form and you remember how i said in this game when you hit enemies that will hit you back

[22:23:59] that is really good for us here because we this is really our first instance of seeing reflect

[22:24:05] uh in the game which is a very powerful ability so we're going to be baiting

[22:24:09] a lot of enemies in this world to hit us so we can just basically destroy them with their

[22:24:12] own attacks essentially.

[22:24:14] Yep, so you'll be seeing that right here I use a blizzard because

[22:24:16] that staggers the fat bandit

[22:24:21] and then make some retaliate

[22:24:22] And we can do reflect into a blizzard right there.

[22:24:25] This game is so cool!

[22:24:26] Yeah.

[22:24:27] I love the fact that you can link your magics

[22:24:30] into your combos

[22:24:31] So you like an opening hit

[22:24:32] into a blizzard

[22:24:33] Into a grounded finisher Into like a thunder at the end.

[22:24:36] Very very cool stuff they did with this.

[22:24:39] Then one of my favorite strats

[22:24:40] in the entire game is so good

[22:24:41] you reflect the projectile

[22:24:44] from the fortune teller, use Trinity Limit to lock yourself onto the enemy which then moves you and your reflect

[22:24:52] which makes the damage apply.

[22:24:54] And that was a showcase of solo trinity yeah we can talk more about that

[22:24:59] as well later because we have another little farming section here but this is a required fight

[22:25:04] so we're not going out of our way to farm wisdom form here.

[22:25:07] Lots of really small enemies, there's level 2 on Wisdom

[22:25:10] so Nintent is going back out of it

[22:25:13] Yeah we are gonna try and build our drive back here

[22:25:16] Again fires are very good for running back drive.

[22:25:18] Want to make sure that there's enough enemies left in the room

[22:25:20] that we can hit level 3 with them?

[22:25:22] So there was about 32 there.

[22:25:23] I believe that we need 36 in total from the beginning

[22:25:26] so you hit level 3.

[22:25:29] There it is!

[22:25:31] You can see quick run, level 1 Sora got unlocked and that was

[22:25:33] the big reason we wanted to do that.

[22:25:35] Oh good damage there

[22:25:37] from the reflect, the quick menuing, getting Aladdin out

[22:25:40] into Goofy so we can get this

[22:25:42] Trinity Limit off and hopefully defeat

[22:25:44] all three Fat Bandits. One, two, three

[22:25:46] they're down!

[22:25:48] If you don't do that ending wave like if you don't do that ending wave, like

[22:25:50] if you don't realize oh I'm about to

[22:25:52] finish off the last of the enemies before

[22:25:54] that the fan-bandit spawn

[22:25:55] everything goes horribly in that fight

[22:25:58] Like if you're not absolutely ready to reflect into a Trinity

[22:26:01] limit, you are very likely going

[22:26:03] to die and have to redo that fight. And once again

[22:26:05] a lot of it's spacing and timing

[22:26:07] If he is a little off on his timing

[22:26:09] Donald might die right there because the Vat Pinnits are very

[22:26:12] powerful. Now we go into the boss of

[22:26:14] this world, the Blizzard and Volcano

[22:26:16] Lord. Yeah so at the beginning here I'm going to use a

[22:26:18] Reflect to actually build up back our Drive cause

[22:26:20] we want to get 3 Drive back pretty soon here in the fight.

[22:26:23] We want to

[22:26:24] get Donald to take a death

[22:26:26] intentionally here, because

[22:26:28] whenever Donald is dead, it won't

[22:26:30] give us anti-points.

[22:26:32] Anti-points are what the game uses to

[22:26:35] give you anti-forms so if you ever play this game casually

[22:26:37] you can get anti-form every now and then.

[22:26:40] Every time you use a dry form

[22:26:41] it basically builds up more and more points. And when you get to certain point

[22:26:44] you will get anti-forms. So right there

[22:26:46] we do that on purpose so that we cannot get anti-form

[22:26:48] This is a good showcase

[22:26:50] of the phases that bosses have

[22:26:52] We have to hit them with the finisher to get them to next phase. And we use

[22:26:54] Valor Form to defeat all of the small

[22:26:56] enemies right there and finish off

[22:26:58] the fight.

[22:27:01] Just one more air combo should kill

[22:27:02] this fight. Yeah, very nice!

[22:27:07] Donald died again.

[22:27:11] As it's par for the course, we finish a world

[22:27:13] We get a cool tool, got Finishing finishing leap there which is a finisher that nintendo can

[22:27:17] use instead of you know mashing x to finish off the combo you can press square at the end of

[22:27:21] a combo it'll not only hit a bunch of enemies around him, but also pop him up into the air and ideally whatever enemy he's attacking.

[22:27:29] Up in to the air so we can continue with an air combo. Really good for chaining attacks on enemies.

[22:27:34] In addition to also getting access to our next summon friend, Genie right there which we'll be using a number of very cool instances throughout the run.

[22:27:42] So now that we have that quickrun, that is going to be our main mode of transportation. Wow, that looks weird

[22:27:48] on this Sora.

[22:27:51] Our main

[22:27:51] mode of transportation throughout the majority

[22:27:54] of the run. So now we're gonna summon

[22:27:56] Genie as we just saw.

[22:28:01] In his probably least sexy usage throughout the entire run.

[22:28:03] He's out because he won't do anything.

[22:28:04] Cool.

[22:28:04] There we go.

[22:28:06] We don't want our party members out because they will attack those white knights and prevent them

[22:28:09] from killing us thank you to the three people clapping for not doing anything yes that was great

[22:28:16] we didn't make a wish. What do you want?

[22:28:22] I just wanna point out that we die in one attack from those guys Yeah, it's still the game is still very hard at this point

[22:28:25] Yes

[22:28:26] That really never goes away

[22:28:27] You will always be 1 to three hits away from that.

[22:28:30] And we're actually going to be taking a hit on purpose here.

[22:28:32] This strat is very difficult

[22:28:34] to do, but it has to do with the

[22:28:36] timing of these reflects

[22:28:38] is quite particular. Ninten taking that hit

[22:28:41] because we got an ability called

[22:28:43] Experience Boost, which what it does

[22:28:45] whenever Sora is below

[22:28:47] 50% HP he gets

[22:28:49] double the experience from killing enemies.

[22:28:51] And we want to hit level 18 before we go into this next boss fight, Prison Keeper

[22:28:55] and because we're in that critical HP...

[22:28:57] Nice!

[22:28:58] Boom there it is, 18.

[22:29:00] An aggressive play by Nintender to actually drop out of it saying I can kill the second one faster with just regular Sora.

[22:29:06] Yeah and what's important there is that I'm the one who delivers the final blow on the enemies because if a party member does it then

[22:29:12] you don't get the experience boost yeah again a lot of those kind of jrpg

[22:29:17] style mechanics coming into play right

[22:29:22] thanks goofy Thanks Goofy.

[22:29:24] Ninten, quick running on over to our

[22:29:28] next boss here Prison Keeper. Yeah so on prison keeper

[22:29:32] there's a bit of RNG at the beginning.

[22:29:33] There is a lot of RNG present in this run but a lot

[22:29:35] of it is reactable.

[22:29:37] So what actually makes the run really cool

[22:29:38] is that there's a lot of reacting

[22:29:40] to what's going on in the run.

[22:29:42] So right here he can choose between three different kids.

[22:29:44] We don't want to see Shock.

[22:29:46] Barrow is actually the best RNG.

[22:29:49] I'm going to do a Reflex and then hopefully your Taliyah

[22:29:52] is right here doing another Reflex

[22:29:54] and go straight into Dance Car

[22:29:56] because Dance Car is one of the best

[22:29:57] limits in the entire game.

[22:30:00] Yeah this would be

[22:30:02] in our Holy Trinity we were talking about earlier

[22:30:04] if you could use it everywhere. But sadly

[22:30:06] because it's tied to Jack Skellington

[22:30:08] you can only use it in this world.

[22:30:10] So we're going to get out of Dance Con here

[22:30:12] and go into Valor Form

[22:30:14] and this is for an MP refill and also to do a lot of damage,

[22:30:18] want to get him into the last phase.

[22:30:20] We're actually skipping one of the kids by doing enough damage

[22:30:24] mid-phase right there.

[22:30:26] So like that dance call is really important to keep them staggered.

[22:30:30] Gonna do some extra damage here, this is a

[22:30:32] shock attack that we don't want to see but it's okay on

[22:30:34] last phase. Now we're gonna do an air combo

[22:30:36] and make him retaliate again hit revenge value and then go into reflex

[22:30:39] in the training limit.

[22:30:40] Oh! That's so good.

[22:30:44] And this last break right here should be enough.

[22:30:48] I love this one. Should be enough. I love this beautiful scrape track also getting flashed up

[22:30:53] on the top right of your screen there that is another

[22:30:55] It's basically slide dash light.

[22:30:57] It's basically just a shorter range slide dash, so it's another good gap closer.

[22:31:00] And it can combo with Slide Dash to help make sure that you're staying right up next to enemies.

[22:31:04] Right.

[22:31:07] Click Dono in celebration of that awesome boss fight.

[22:31:10] We have a $25 donation from NeoSci!

[22:31:14] Ninten is one of the most talented people I've ever met, and it's

[22:31:18] awesome to see him running one of the best games ever.

[22:31:21] Thank you so much.

[22:31:23] For a full plot summary, a good friend

[22:31:25] once said, kid loses friends

[22:31:27] and island and wakes up

[22:31:29] and dog and big key darkness wakes up, and Dogg, and Big Key Darkness.

[22:31:32] Yeah. How about thumbs it up?

[22:31:34] Actually that was great! That was the best...

[22:31:36] Best ever plot summary I've heard.

[22:31:38] Let's go in USI.

[22:31:41] So Ninten doing some thunders against the boss here.

[22:31:44] They are not doing any damage, but we're actually doing them because

[22:31:47] one, we want to get our drive back

[22:31:48] and by doing thunders, we put ourselves in MP charge

[22:31:51] and something we haven't explained it is you get dryback faster when you are in MP recharge.

[22:31:56] Yeah, you can kind of see its glowing orange.

[22:31:58] It's bright and shiny because you're getting an enhanced recovery rate.

[22:32:04] So, this fight is very long. I think a good fight on critical mode

[22:32:09] is around 3 minutes. You know there's something wrong with a fight

[22:32:11] when the speedrun strat is three minute long.

[22:32:13] Right?

[22:32:15] So this fight, mainly because it's a big autoscroller

[22:32:18] I had to let him summon twelve Presence and knock them back

[22:32:21] And as the fight progresses he starts Sum summoning them less and less frequently.

[22:32:26] So we'll be doing a trick here called Presence Scape, I'll let Thar explain this one.

[22:32:29] Yeah so um, the reason why we got Drive Back is because we want to summon Chicken Little

[22:32:32] Because he's about to spawn two enemies and

[22:32:35] We want to keep these enemies alive. So we use Chicken Little

[22:32:38] To whistle them over, go into the FPS mode which is

[22:32:41] Chicken Little's limit-esque, to basically pull

[22:32:45] Them beyond that punching glove

[22:32:47] because as you saw for one of them,

[22:32:48] it kills them. So we use this to keep

[22:32:51] it alive. We're going to swap out

[22:32:52] Goofy I think so he doesn't

[22:32:55] kill that one over there.

[22:32:56] And what this does is it prevents Oogie Boogie from spawning more enemies on

[22:33:00] this belt and just lets him spawn more boxes for us to knock them down.

[22:33:04] Ninten even throwing a thunder on it so that it wouldn't get up

[22:33:06] to the spikes and potentially

[22:33:08] die of its own accord.

[22:33:10] That's also so it doesn't despawn,

[22:33:12] if you just leave it alone and don't perform any action

[22:33:14] it will just go away. Cause yeah he's trying

[22:33:16] to get a double prison skip effectively

[22:33:18] Yeah so right here if the enemy was

[22:33:20] gone we got to wait a little bit

[22:33:22] longer to get into the middle here but we can go instantly

[22:33:24] and now it can die to the spikes

[22:33:26] Wonderfully done, that is

[22:33:29] not easy to do in a fight

[22:33:31] that if you get hit by one of these

[22:33:33] pieces of lightning that's

[22:33:34] raining down it's probably just going to calm you

[22:33:37] until you die.

[22:33:38] That fist that keeps coming down

[22:33:40] uh that's a one shot from full hook so ninton's listening to so many different sound effects as

[22:33:44] well as some of these patterns are predictable uh to be able to just know how to handle this fight.

[22:33:52] Thankfully, when you do

[22:33:53] the reaction command, you have iframes

[22:33:55] so you don't take damage during it

[22:33:56] but it's very easy to get clipped by things in this

[22:33:59] fight and it's such a huge time loss if you die now here the boss can

[22:34:04] move twice so that we lose a tiny bit of time like two seconds or something is it really yeah

[22:34:08] it's fine wow i thought it was too long The animation lingers longer than you think?

[22:34:12] Yeah that is awful

[22:34:14] That's just random there's nothing we can do about that

[22:34:18] Some more quick run under the fist right here

[22:34:20] and hopefully Jack or Goofy will help me out on damage

[22:34:24] on this last part.

[22:34:28] Yeah, a safe move would be Dance Call

[22:34:30] but we go for the fast move.

[22:34:32] Guys that fight

[22:34:33] is dumb. Yeah.

[22:34:35] That was not a good fight. It's probably

[22:34:37] most runners least favorite fight.

[22:34:39] It's long. There's a lot of auto scroller

[22:34:41] aspects to it but it's also not an easy fight.

[22:34:45] And especially once the present skip stuff got discovered.

[22:34:48] At least there was a cool piece of tech to it,

[22:34:50] But like it's hard to do when you have more to manage in a fight

[22:34:53] You already had a lot to manage yo we're not going

[22:35:02] first use of Genie here.

[22:35:04] Second use of you.

[22:35:06] Yeah, real use of Genie.

[22:35:10] Gonna set him to wisdom form because Genie actually gets the same drive forms that you have, and it affects his different attacks.

[22:35:16] Wisdom Form's really nice

[22:35:18] Nintendo waits just a moment there

[22:35:20] and then uses that

[22:35:22] Wisdom Form attack from Genie

[22:35:24] to hit a bunch of enemies. yeah so we took a hit here

[22:35:26] because there will be exp boosting this as well um i think we mentioned it

[22:35:29] before but he wants to get half hp because that gives us more

[22:35:32] double experience and we're gonna be wanting to hit a huge

[22:35:35] uh level coming up

[22:35:36] soon in the next world.

[22:35:38] We also got the magnet spell recently,

[22:35:41] which as you can see, you could put above your head

[22:35:43] in order to group enemies up.

[22:35:46] And it allows us to do a lot of damage like that is like what i think you said

[22:35:52] it's like 20 or something consistency yeah that's really like that yeah yeah and again that was all in positioning for

[22:36:01] this technique that we like to call the magnet shuffle pops would you like to explain what

[22:36:07] the magnet shuffle is?

[22:36:08] Sure.

[22:36:09] First I want to say that fight

[22:36:10] is what made me stop running this video game.

[22:36:12] It's so hard!

[22:36:14] I wanted to do that strat because

[22:36:15] I wanted to look cool and not like Ninten

[22:36:16] And I couldn't do it.

[22:36:20] But yeah, so basically I talked about that magnet you pop it up

[22:36:22] over your head, it groups enemies up into

[22:36:24] it and as it pulls the enemies

[22:36:26] into it, it deals a little tiny bit of

[22:36:28] damage. Little bits? A little tiny bit of damage. Little bits? A little,

[22:36:29] little tiny bit of damage.

[22:36:30] Practically nothing.

[22:36:31] Yeah,

[22:36:31] just a tiny little bit of damage

[22:36:32] but every time an enemy

[22:36:34] gets knocked out

[22:36:35] of the magnet

[22:36:36] it gets pulled back in again

[22:36:37] and it does that

[22:36:38] little tiny bit of damage.

[22:36:40] Little bit! And if you, turns out if you use something like uh, And it does that little tiny bit of damage.

[22:36:44] Turns out if you use something like Trinity Limit or Wisdom Form Genie

[22:36:48] Or lots of other things we're going to see throughout the whole run

[22:36:52] You can cause enemies to get pushed out of that magnet and sucked back in. Out of that magnet and sucked back in.

[22:36:54] And it might happen over and over and over

[22:36:56] again several times within

[22:36:58] a second. Right. And so that turns

[22:37:00] that magnet that does just a tiny bit of damage

[22:37:02] which is mostly utility

[22:37:03] to group enemies up

[22:37:03] into one of the best

[22:37:05] damaging tools

[22:37:06] in the entire speedrun

[22:37:08] at least for regular mobs.

[22:37:10] It's not as good

[22:37:11] for bosses generally but for regular mobs. It's not as good for bosses generally,

[22:37:13] but for regular

[22:37:13] heartless and nobodies

[22:37:15] it is extremely powerful.

[22:37:18] Yeah, this section

[22:37:19] is actually one of the

[22:37:20] coolest movement sections

[22:37:21] in the game.

[22:37:21] You get to use

[22:37:22] wisdom form.

[22:37:24] We do a lot of tech to skip ledge grabbing

[22:37:26] just timing your quick runs really well

[22:37:28] is also important you can lose a lot of time

[22:37:30] from having suboptimal movement

[22:37:32] Using spells like fire or reflect to get enough height to dodge a uh

[22:37:37] yeah even just like that like a little fire there cut out the landing lag like you had talked about

[22:37:41] earlier to start up a quick run. Now we go through a maze,

[22:37:45] I don't know how you're ever going to remember where to go.

[22:37:47] Probably have time for one or two

[22:37:49] donations here, I think, yeah. Awesome!

[22:37:51] Amazing! We have a $250

[22:37:53] donation from Archie23.

[22:37:55] Ninten crushing this game like always.

[22:37:58] Doctors Without Borders is a worthy cause

[22:38:00] so let's push for that one million!

[22:38:02] Woo! Yes.

[22:38:04] Thank you so much for that donation we have another 100 donation or in 100 donation from

[22:38:10] rachiwi donating from my forever fandom one mil here we come.

[22:38:17] Let's go.

[22:38:18] That dude's got purple hair.

[22:38:20] This is interesting.

[22:38:22] Thank you all for donating for Timeless River Store

[22:38:23] because this was the correct answer.

[22:38:25] Yes.

[22:38:30] So stealing the ether from tron there and did you do anything else in that menu it didn't quite catch oh no that wasn't yeah we want to keep on heroes

[22:38:35] press for a bit longer just a small mini game right here so in

[22:38:39] this video you have to catch the cube uh one neat trick is that wherever it

[22:38:43] spawns so right here will be glowing red if we

[22:38:46] quick run one space left, it will most

[22:38:49] likely be around here.

[22:38:51] Let's see if I'm a liar. You have to either do

[22:38:53] a finisher on this cube or

[22:38:55] pop into a dry form to just take it out.

[22:39:00] Yeah, dry form to just take it out. Yeah, dry form explosions being

[22:39:02] another instance of a special

[22:39:04] attack as well.

[22:39:06] Yeah, and they hit a wide area

[22:39:08] too so you don't have to be right next

[22:39:09] to the cube like you would have to for a regular combo

[22:39:12] or if you suck at that mini game and you actually lose the box

[22:39:15] so one thing i want to mention is that uh we got limit form and masterform

[22:39:18] so earlier in agrabah i was mentioning stuff about anti-form.

[22:39:21] When we get new drive forms they also reset our anti points so

[22:39:24] when you get too many anti points you can get anti form but

[22:39:27] there are certain situations where you won't get anti which

[22:39:30] will be making sure that we do.

[22:39:32] So hopefully never see anti except for maybe one part.

[22:39:36] Yeah, well, we do have it routed out specifically.

[22:39:41] And this is Light Cycle.

[22:39:41] Light cycle is deceivingly pretty dangerous because if I get hit, then suddenly it becomes very scary.

[22:39:47] Yeah, in the first part, enemies will spawn 2 blue, 2 yellow and 2 green.

[22:39:53] But the location that they spawn is random

[22:39:56] whether they're attacking right away or not is also random

[22:39:58] so that first part is not set

[22:40:00] Now this part some of the attacks later enemies can do is a little random or at least

[22:40:06] based on so many factors they might as well be.

[22:40:08] But now everything spawns where you expect it to in the places. And will react pretty much the

[22:40:14] same way every time. Yeah, so basically

[22:40:16] its one of those things where if you do

[22:40:18] the same thing every time, the same

[22:40:20] thing will happen. Right, yeah. So little

[22:40:22] interactions that each of these enemies do. These green ones spam a shield, and if we hit it at the right time,

[22:40:26] we can propel ourselves right into the turn.

[22:40:29] It's so good.

[22:40:29] The game wants it to be kind of a rock-paper-scissors

[22:40:31] where if they are putting up a shield and you attack,

[22:40:34] it slams you into the wall.

[22:40:35] But it turns out if you get slammed towards the wall but there's no wall there

[22:40:39] because you're at the turn and you turn at the right time

[22:40:41] You just go flying down the corridor.

[22:40:43] Let me try that again right here.

[22:40:44] Yeah. Ideally get like

[22:40:46] three of them or so

[22:40:47] for what it does.

[22:40:48] That was a good one

[22:40:48] right there.

[22:40:49] Yeah, that was

[22:40:49] awesome.

[22:40:51] Now unfortunately

[22:40:52] if he goes for

[22:40:54] another one

[22:40:54] it's going to be

[22:40:54] based on

[22:40:55] one of the

[22:40:56] white light cycle enemies.

[22:40:57] Which those can go from

[22:40:59] any of the attacks that the other colors

[22:41:01] can do. So it's a little bit

[22:41:03] random you have to kind of hope they use the shield attack

[22:41:05] See if we get it here yeah unlucky but survive got

[22:41:11] the key that's the most important part yeah another really i know we've been saying this

[22:41:15] throughout the whole run but it's, so easy to die in this run

[22:41:18] in so many places. And this is a big example

[22:41:20] of one that early on you might

[22:41:22] die here multiple times because you get

[22:41:24] two shot by everything and there's no way to

[22:41:26] replenish your HP in any way, it's rough.

[22:41:29] This is another reason you should go to KHTRenner.com

[22:41:31] because that mini-game is gone.

[22:41:35] Yep so we'll be doing some more experience boosting here

[22:41:37] this actually the most important part of our

[22:41:40] experience grinds because we have to hit

[22:41:42] level 23, I believe it is

[22:41:44] in this screen minigame

[22:41:46] So be taking a hit and will be at this OHP

[22:41:48] throughout this entire next segment.

[22:41:50] And, we're seeing our first instance of

[22:41:52] Stitch here on screen, another summon

[22:41:54] that we just picked up in Hall of Ashton

[22:41:56] Uh, Stitch is

[22:41:58] fantastic if he wants to be, but can also

[22:42:02] be very frustrating because Stitch is quite random.

[22:42:05] He does, you kind of influence what

[22:42:07] he does based on your health.

[22:42:08] If you're in critical health

[22:42:09] he's more likely to do this Ohana attack where

[22:42:12] he's using the ukulele over and over.

[22:42:14] And right now that's what we want to see out of him because it will cause

[22:42:17] enemies to die from the magnet by...

[22:42:20] It'll do that magnet shuffle, basically,

[22:42:22] but a little bit slower.

[22:42:23] Ninten wants to clear

[22:42:25] two screens

[22:42:25] and then keep using

[22:42:28] Magnet in Finishing Leap

[22:42:29] or regular attacks

[22:42:30] whatever he kind of

[22:42:31] has available to him

[22:42:31] reflect as well to be able to kill

[22:42:33] as many enemies as possible, because again

[22:42:35] look every enemy is giving

[22:42:37] 152 experience

[22:42:39] because they normally would give you 76

[22:42:41] experience but because he's below half

[22:42:43] health, he gets double the experience from him.

[22:42:48] Yep and I think uh we're coming up on level 22 here so just have one more

[22:42:52] to go ideally we have them all grouped up together

[22:42:56] and also i did a stitch will lick sora yeah looking sora will refill all your mp so yep

[22:43:02] the biggest thing you want to see out of him in this fight.

[22:43:05] Yeah after this point if we ever use stitch you just want him to refill your MP basically

[22:43:11] Like that's pretty much all you want them to do

[22:43:14] Yep that was actually pretty good. A 49 is really fast.

[22:43:16] That was really fast.

[22:43:18] And try and learn a new ability.

[22:43:20] Cool.

[22:43:21] That was sick.

[22:43:24] Oh, we know the actual...

[22:43:25] I was like, auto-triple? We're like auto... Oh, we know the actual game. It's set up I think. Yeah.

[22:43:26] I was like, Auto-Chain?

[22:43:28] Setup is actually a good limit in this game

[22:43:30] it just that we don't really have the opportunity to use it

[22:43:32] I think the speedrun used to use it way back

[22:43:34] in the day. It might have, yeah. But instead

[22:43:37] we're gonna use one of the Holy Trinity

[22:43:39] The Trifectas. Yep.

[22:43:41] As Hobbs and Spike like to call it

[22:43:43] We're going to use Comet or Fantasia

[22:43:45] for the first time here Uh second sorry yeah i have not yet

[22:43:51] yeah once again spacing is key right here because basically we're going to try to use

[22:43:55] comet after a quick run to the center of the arena,

[22:43:58] and then go into it and try to kind of manipulate

[22:44:00] Hostile Program to be

[22:44:02] going up against the wall

[22:44:04] so he doesn't move away from

[22:44:06] that big Fantasia explosion.

[22:44:08] Now we have all of our clusters, so you can immediately

[22:44:11] freeze him and go into some air combos right here.

[22:44:14] Popping in to that limit form, you basically have access

[22:44:17] to Kingdom Hearts 1's source abilities, including that

[22:44:20] devastating Zen Tetsu Ken right at the end.

[22:44:22] That pushed Ninten all

[22:44:24] the way into the final phase right there

[22:44:26] where a little low on clusters should be able

[22:44:28] do some clean up and get a little bit more...

[22:44:30] Yeah, this should be okay.

[22:44:31] And he will stay here for a while

[22:44:35] so now we can freeze him

[22:44:36] and go into another comet. Thankfully Tron drew

[22:44:38] a bunch of potions in the Don to keep him alive because he needs

[22:44:41] to be alive to use this Limit.

[22:44:42] And we can finish them off with the Comet Finisher

[22:44:45] does a huge circle.

[22:44:47] Very nice.

[22:44:50] That really goes to show like Ninten's prowess of multiple different categories, because effectively mid-fight had to decide I'm going to kind of do the level one strat here.

[22:44:57] Because he didn't quite get the Ragnarok to land on the enemy and get all the clusters that he wanted at this

[22:45:02] specific time. Had to just default to,

[22:45:04] okay, we'll freeze him a little bit later. That's okay.

[22:45:06] Yeah. I would have died.

[22:45:08] Now we're going to

[22:45:10] one of the coolest bits of the run. We got a little gauntlet here,

[22:45:13] bunch of mini mob fights and boss fight coming up.

[22:45:16] Yeah this is grueling.

[22:45:18] This whole section.

[22:45:19] It's really fun to watch.

[22:45:21] And we want Goofy to use Tornado and gather up all the enemies here.

[22:45:25] A cool little thing is that when you do attacks during Goofy's tornado, they do a ton of damage

[22:45:31] and once you get that retaliation from the enemy,

[22:45:33] and then summon Chicken Little.

[22:45:36] Good fight. Nice!

[22:45:38] Chicken Little there helps a little bit but mostly you

[22:45:41] get to 3-drive use Chicken Little

[22:45:43] And we're now in another one of those rooms where it takes your party members away from you.

[22:45:47] So now we are at max drive instead of being at 3.

[22:45:50] And guess what? We're going to use Chicken Little again here.

[22:45:54] Dancers! Another one of the most toxic enemy types in the entire game.

[22:45:58] You hit them once they get you that grab attack

[22:46:00] That's a one shot baby

[22:46:03] But instead gonna try to group em up by using Chicken Little's magnet and a regular

[22:46:06] magnet. Throw an Aether here, get some MP back so we can keep going

[22:46:10] with these magnets finishing Leap combos. Yeah something to mention here is that

[22:46:14] our Aether usage is really important so you have to remember

[22:46:17] all the ethers you use throughout the run because someones

[22:46:19] using a bit of x-ray and someones are using a bit less

[22:46:23] Oh unfortunate. That's unlucky but

[22:46:25] that's fine. One alive. Fair enough.

[22:46:27] I don't know if we mentioned this about Magnet,

[22:46:29] but Magnet counts as a finisher and because

[22:46:30] we have finishing plus, you can go use

[22:46:32] a Magnet and just straight into a different finisher

[22:46:34] as we saw with those finishing leap there.

[22:46:37] Very devastating combo in our arsenal

[22:46:38] that would make a lot of use over the run.

[22:46:40] Yeah, if we didn't have Finishing Plus,

[22:46:42] we wouldn't be able to half that Magna

[22:46:44] into a Thunder or a Finishing Leap

[22:46:45] or anything.

[22:46:46] But now we've got Demix,

[22:46:48] another one that as a child this boss got you stuck for hours possibly.

[22:46:52] We're going to try and take him out in just about 60 seconds.

[22:46:55] Getting under 30 water clones right here then going into that group Trinity using two of the different

[22:47:01] phases getting him at five or less water clones and going for the Trinity.

[22:47:05] Oh my gosh.

[22:47:08] Beautifully done already down down to two and three

[22:47:10] quarters health, popping back

[22:47:12] into that limit form right there again

[22:47:14] for that devastating Zantetsu Kin

[22:47:16] into the classic Ars Arcanum combo

[22:47:18] cutting out the finisher of the Ars Arcanum because. Cutting out the finisher of the Ars Arcanum, because

[22:47:21] then they won't actually gain revenge value.

[22:47:23] Popping out immediately into

[22:47:25] Donald's Fantasia. Popping it up

[22:47:27] after we get him in this brick wall state.

[22:47:29] Going into first person person because it looked cool

[22:47:33] show off i don't even know how you ended that fight

[22:47:38] was it finishing leap oh just a hit yeah okay i tapped and then I just pressed X, putting on a few abilities here

[22:47:45] Yeah mostly got another reaction boost so good to put that on

[22:47:48] It's going to help out with the various reaction commands

[22:47:51] And now the gauntlet's not over

[22:47:53] in fact it is only just beginning because we are heading into

[22:47:55] Final Fantasy fights and from this point

[22:47:57] onwards if Ninten dies

[22:47:59] in any of the next four little fights here

[22:48:01] he will have to refight Demix, like it

[22:48:04] will be sent all the way back to before

[22:48:06] Demix. So starting

[22:48:08] off with the Yuffie platform here you get a few

[22:48:10] kind of basic enemies and thankfully

[22:48:12] this one's not too bad, you kind of have to use whatever tools are

[22:48:15] available cyclone or the uh you know rising sun attack anything like that to try to clean them up

[22:48:23] yep solar trinity magnet shuffle very powerful tool little So doing that right there actually gives us a limit experience. And we want to hit level 2 limit before the end of the game,

[22:48:37] so we run it out where we use our limits.

[22:48:39] Yep, already got one experience from the hostile program.

[22:48:42] Oh my god!

[22:48:43] What is happening?

[22:48:46] Close to dying here.

[22:48:47] Well handled.

[22:48:48] Okay, with your TR Sora fit

[22:48:50] I thought you were still in limit form

[22:48:52] and I was like

[22:48:52] how are we doing this?

[22:48:53] It started me off big time.

[22:48:55] Those Morning Stars again a theme

[22:48:57] if those little slams

[22:48:59] they have hit you, that is a one shot.

[22:49:02] And Minton smartly

[22:49:03] reacting to the jersey.

[22:49:09] Good rising sun that was very scary with the reflect going off right there doing a big big reflect damage

[22:49:15] and we want to get forth so that we can go into limit form again.

[22:49:18] Limit form uses four drive gauge.

[22:49:20] That magnet shuffle we've been talking about,

[22:49:22] that Nintent's doing with a whole bunch of different forms all over the place,

[22:49:24] not only is it good for dealing damage to enemies

[22:49:26] It's also really good for refilling your drive.

[22:49:29] Yes!

[22:49:30] Gonna go into limit form

[22:49:31] To clear out these shadows nice and quick

[22:49:33] With a little help from Cloud

[22:49:34] Do a thunder on these bots

[22:49:35] To get their RC very powerful

[22:49:38] Sparkle ray which you'll see a lot more of

[22:49:40] coming up here in another fight.

[22:49:42] We're trying to beat out another unfortunate. It died

[22:49:44] but we're just going to try using some

[22:49:46] Reflect Magnet. I'm being a bit careful here.

[22:49:48] Yeah be a little careful. So if we die here we have to go all the way back to demix

[22:49:53] yo what's up hud why weren't you in dirge of service earlier in the week

[22:49:56] what's that that was sick right by the, everybody should go back and watch that.

[22:50:00] I agree.

[22:50:01] Oh!

[22:50:02] How?

[22:50:03] What?!

[22:50:04] How did you live?

[22:50:05] I think that was iframe?

[22:50:06] Okay, I know exactly what happened there.

[22:50:08] WHAT?!

[22:50:09] I grabbed an invisible security bot

[22:50:11] because it died after I had grabbed

[22:50:14] it. Oh, yeah. I had iframes from that

[22:50:15] animation. That's so funny. It was actually when

[22:50:18] that happens, that kills you. You just die.

[22:50:20] Oh my goodness. That was terrifying.

[22:50:22] Alright, so speaking of terrifying

[22:50:24] Now into... Did you even

[22:50:26] put on once more? I think I did.

[22:50:28] I hope I did. I'm gonna find out.

[22:50:30] Uh, I can tell you don't have fall of the wind on.

[22:50:32] That's okay, yeah, I don't think he uses that anymore.

[22:50:35] So this fight is pretty much

[22:50:38] the best thing that Ninten can do in this entire fight

[22:50:41] what is happening right now just use one of these sentry bots

[22:50:43] over and over that uh sparkle ray reaction command

[22:50:47] and spinning the camera around to help make sure the enemies spawn in because

[22:50:51] the ones that are kind of further out on the edges, those are just JPEGs.

[22:50:54] That's printed out on a piece of paper and stuck around there.

[22:50:57] They've got to spawn

[22:50:58] in actually closer to Sora.

[22:51:00] Little trick Ninten did with the camera is

[22:51:02] the enemies that are off-camera,

[22:51:05] there's more of them off-camera than there are on.

[22:51:07] So he's positioning his camera so the ray is facing

[22:51:09] behind him where you can't see any enemies

[22:51:11] That way he's clearing out more a lot

[22:51:13] faster. And the way that attack actually works

[22:51:17] has to do with how fast you press triangle

[22:51:20] after grabbing a sentry bot,

[22:51:21] so we're talking about the levels of specificity

[22:51:24] that we can't get into again, they're just magnitudes.

[22:51:27] Yeah so pretty much like... We're trying to stay out of the edges

[22:51:31] of the arena because then we spawn less enemies. I'm watching

[22:51:35] every enemy here to see what is attacking me.

[22:51:37] A lot of bots.

[22:51:40] The bots can often queue up a laser attack while you're in

[22:51:44] reaction command and have to be ready to reflect immediately or

[22:51:48] go into, you know, limit form

[22:51:50] or do something else that's gonna protect you.

[22:51:52] This was an incredibly clean one-k

[22:51:54] That was very good. What a fantastic mid game

[22:51:56] My goodness what a 1K.

[22:52:01] Some donation hype for that awesome...

[22:52:04] Oh yeah, you guys have plenty of time.

[22:52:06] We have a $25 donation from Roshko.

[22:52:10] Ninten running Kingdom Hearts with Spike, J-Hobbs and Thar on the couch?

[22:52:15] It must be Christmas in July! Let's get that 1 million dollars whoo whoa we have a

[22:52:23] $250 donation from wabbit season look Sora

[22:52:28] I'm lucky speedrun!

[22:52:30] And we have one more anonymous donation for $50.

[22:52:33] Donating for a chance at that amazing Tetris blanket and the Morrowind N8% bonus.

[22:52:39] Make sure you're selecting that incentive way down at the bottom

[22:52:42] when you're donating, folks.

[22:52:43] We really want to make that happen.

[22:52:44] We're at 5,500 out of 20K.

[22:52:47] We can do it.

[22:52:47] It would be so fantastic if we hit a million during this run.

[22:52:50] Yeah, come on, folks. We've got to make that needle move because

[22:52:52] my brain needs number go up.

[22:52:54] I need it!

[22:52:56] And now here we are in the second

[22:52:58] visit of the Disney World Tour.

[22:52:59] Just like we've been going over.

[22:53:04] We've got to revisit five of the worlds right now including a beast castle second visit we're not doing a full second visit right now we're

[22:53:08] just gonna be going up to get our next most powerful keyblade, the Rumbling Rose.

[22:53:13] It's a very good Keyblade because it has Finishing Plus

[22:53:15] which means that we get to have a third finisher

[22:53:17] on top of the Finishing Plus we had from Critical Mode

[22:53:21] and another neat thing I'll be doing here is

[22:53:23] mid-playing the Boki Vendors. So, Boki Vendors

[22:53:26] are an enemy that give you

[22:53:28] synthesis items and they also give you a ton

[22:53:30] of experience. And a neat trick

[22:53:32] that was found by Hiren is that if you go into the room three times and then exit,

[22:53:36] it has to be a room that Bokeh Vendors can spawn in.

[22:53:39] They will spawn in every other world they can spawn in right now.

[22:53:44] So we'll see seeing 3 of them up here. every other world that they can spawn in right now.

[22:53:46] So we'll be seeing three of them up here,

[22:53:48] and we'll be grabbing them for experience.

[22:53:49] Big shout-out to Ahirun,

[22:53:51] who's just basically the pioneer of everything that's cool about Kingdom Hearts 2 speedrunning.

[22:53:54] Yeah. Without Ahirun, it would have taken of everything that's cool about Kingdom Hearts 2 speedrunning.

[22:53:55] Yeah, without a hero run it would have taken so much longer

[22:53:58] for a lot of these fights to really get developed in the way they are now.

[22:54:03] Now we're going to Pirates Part II

[22:54:05] to see some more magic spam.

[22:54:08] Yeah, so this really was what I was gonna see real quick.

[22:54:12] Uh...I believe I should put it on right here?

[22:54:15] Down here is Crest and Master Form

[22:54:17] And now you're going to

[22:54:19] see how good the triple finisher is

[22:54:21] on the pirates

[22:54:39] Free! Yeah, I love that little optimization as opposed to having to wait until after the fight you're waiting there for half a second for the fight and let's also quickly menu in donald and have that done

[22:54:45] out for afterwards it really is like half a second to you.

[22:54:48] You do not have much time,

[22:54:49] you have to very quickly hit up

[22:54:51] maybe left and then up X down X I think?

[22:54:55] It's a lot of inputs really quick.

[22:54:57] And coming up here this one

[22:54:58] is actually one

[22:54:59] of the hardest worlds in The Second Visits

[22:55:01] because of this boss Grim Reaper.

[22:55:03] So Grim Reaper we're going to try

[22:55:04] to keep him stunned with Blizzard

[22:55:06] because he has the same properties

[22:55:08] as the pirates from before.

[22:55:09] He operates under a new mechanic called Finch Count same properties as the pirates from before.

[22:55:09] He operates under a new mechanic called Finch Count,

[22:55:12] that's a lot to go into for Marathon Run but basically

[22:55:15] we're going to be abusing his stun

[22:55:18] with Comet and do hits in between each comet so that we can maximize the damage before

[22:55:24] he wants to teleport. He wants to teleport all time but we prevent him from doing it. Ends

[22:55:28] comment right here to get extra damage in try to

[22:55:31] get him into the center of the comet so he can not break out of it

[22:55:34] we go into master form and ideally we defeat him in master form because you

[22:55:39] want to keep our drive gauge.

[22:55:46] Ninten kind of cancelling out parts of the combo there by using Masterform Blizzard,

[22:55:48] and there we go, he did finish in Masterform.

[22:55:51] Get access to one of the best combo modifiers

[22:55:53] in the game, Horizontal Slash there.

[22:55:55] It just allows you to press square

[22:55:57] in the middle of a combo

[22:55:58] to kind of do this side-to-side slicing attack

[22:56:00] that effectively just lets you get

[22:56:02] one extra hit in your combo and

[22:56:04] lets those uh those middle attacks that normally we haven't been talking too

[22:56:07] much about do significantly more damage i believe ninton is going to do a master

[22:56:12] genie strat here, which...

[22:56:14] Is this the first time we'll be seeing it?

[22:56:16] Oh these are so sexy.

[22:56:18] Yeah, Genie's actually my favorite summon in the game

[22:56:20] and that's because you can do cool stuff like this.

[22:56:22] Little genie magnet trouble.

[22:56:27] We did Magnet Trouble close up like this little genie magnet we did magnet shuffle with wisdom form we did it with group trinity using ultima we've done with group trinity

[22:56:30] using major drive done it with solo trinity

[22:56:33] using brake effectively. And now

[22:56:35] with Master Genie's.

[22:56:38] Master Genie's attacks, just without the

[22:56:40] magnet, don't do a whole lot of damage.

[22:56:41] That magnet is just so powerful

[22:56:44] with the way we interact with it.

[22:56:45] And like everything else we've been talking about, positioning and spacing are all very important.

[22:56:49] There's some enemies where you want to put the magnet right on top of them before using Genie

[22:56:53] and there's others where you wanna put him further away.

[22:56:55] Now we're getting Valor-Genie here as well. before using Genie and there's others where you want to put them further away.

[22:56:56] Now we're getting Valor-Genie here as well.

[22:56:58] Unfortunately, it got out of the magnet but we have one second...

[22:57:00] Ooh! That was... ooh! One second too many!

[22:57:04] Or just enough I guess he would've died.

[22:57:08] Little magnet triple-tech

[22:57:12] Ballergini this time who has the sonic rave limit

[22:57:17] This one should go better finishers and the explosion of the boxes also damaged the gambling nobody there.

[22:57:19] And importantly,

[22:57:20] it kind of knocks him

[22:57:21] out of the magnet again too.

[22:57:23] Oh yeah.

[22:57:25] We're going to skip over this room

[22:57:26] because it's slow

[22:57:27] and there's actually

[22:57:28] another heartless or nobody here who's

[22:57:31] going to drop a medallion we only need three of them nathan's gonna throw an ether so we have

[22:57:36] full np for the next fight usually after fights are hp and mp recovered but for some reason not

[22:57:41] after this one so we have to throw that ether there so we're topped off with the uh final

[22:57:45] boss of the world here yeah these second visits go fast folks so be sure to get those

[22:57:48] donations in we would still love to try and hit

[22:57:50] a million by the end of this run that'd be amazing anytime an absolutely amazing fight right here

[22:57:57] first off using that blizzard trying to use more of those magics in order

[22:58:01] to just interact with this

[22:58:03] boss and get all the coins knocked out

[22:58:05] because you can't actually deal any HP damage

[22:58:07] until all 882

[22:58:09] coins are in the chest.

[22:58:11] Now we're going to be using Genie canceling,

[22:58:13] look at that bottom left corner

[22:58:14] That shows you everything you need to know

[22:58:16] Nintendo is having to do a bunch of intense menu-ing

[22:58:19] To constantly cancel the end of his air combos

[22:58:22] with changing Genie's form

[22:58:25] to do that over and over

[22:58:26] again,

[22:58:27] and completely skip

[22:58:28] over that first phase.

[22:58:29] Now we're going

[22:58:30] to lock onto him

[22:58:31] as he's up in the air you could just get a lock on pop

[22:58:33] them two times with thunder get all the coins knocked out throw them back from the chest and

[22:58:38] get get donald queued up so we can use that devastating fantasia comet right here

[22:58:44] spacing those out to where he's getting him stunned at all times

[22:58:52] oh my god, bullied him.

[22:58:54] So we're already into the third phase now.

[22:58:56] Getting up in to the corner

[22:58:58] Now he's got to try and keep his party members alive

[22:59:00] Actually switch Donald out for Goofy

[22:59:02] Just because Goofy had more health. And then

[22:59:05] it pops into Master Form there, which

[22:59:07] this is the strat that will never change in the entire

[22:59:09] speedrun. Make it rain!

[22:59:12] Yeah, Master Form using

[22:59:13] Thunder does this little dancing attack and hits multiple times which means that the boss not only gets stunned but also drops a ton of medallions.

[22:59:21] And Master Form is only good enough right now to last long enough to do one mp bars worth of damage which

[22:59:28] is exactly what we need each thunder is 50 medallions and each cast of thunder does three

[22:59:33] thunders in master form and what a beautiful like that was textbook everything about that was fantastic

[22:59:40] that unfortunately was our last fight with comet very cool limit but we got something

[22:59:44] even better now on flare force The second of the holy trinity

[22:59:48] of Minnesota using...

[22:59:49] Oh, third!

[22:59:51] We count here.

[22:59:54] That fight was so impressive.

[22:59:56] Can we have a little donation here 25 donation from any the dps output is out

[23:00:03] of this world i agree best of luck they. Thank you so much, Eni.

[23:00:09] Thank you.

[23:00:10] Wouldn't agree more.

[23:00:11] Right here we'll be changing customize maybe one more time and then put on duck fur.

[23:00:18] Specifically taking off Fantasiaasia so we might not accidentally menu to that instead

[23:00:23] later on you're already going down the flare force there's a point in the game where party members

[23:00:27] are really not useful at all so we just just step into Naut-Tac and we just hand over

[23:00:30] everything ourselves. They can actually

[23:00:32] mess you up by attacking the enemies at this point

[23:00:34] Another good magnet shuffle there

[23:00:36] Take about half of the enemy's

[23:00:38] health out, and then using the finishing half of the enemy's health out and then using the

[23:00:41] finishing part of the Trinity to deal

[23:00:43] the rest of the damage. And now we play some golf

[23:00:45] with children. Yeah! We're gonna get

[23:00:47] another cool little thing here where Ninten is going to switch

[23:00:49] party members right at the last second again.

[23:00:52] Just skips having to do another menu. The menu itself would take maybe two seconds tops, but why spend that two seconds?

[23:00:59] And remember how we manipulated those bulky vendors? We did that so that we guaranteed a spawn here.

[23:01:03] They give a lot of experience and were actually going to EXP boost the second one on the other side by purposely getting hit, aerial recovery, Stitch is gonna keep us alive by stunning those enemies with this ukulele finish

[23:01:14] off his bulky vendor get level 28. over 3 000 experience just granted by that one because of

[23:01:20] the xp we sting and it's important to note that there is an ability called Once More

[23:01:24] that Ninten has because

[23:01:25] of grabbing that Dream Shield all

[23:01:28] the way back at the beginning of the run.

[23:01:30] That is the only reason Ninten was able

[23:01:31] to experience boost that, because otherwise the big jackpot box enemy would have killed him.

[23:01:36] Once more protects you from dying in a single combo but it will not protect you from a single big hit.

[23:01:41] Yeah and the cool thing here is use and then these dance call to suck them into

[23:01:44] their flex to do a lot of damage now i would try to go for a frame perfect trick here

[23:01:51] so was just trying to stop the uh dance call limit at the same frame that he picked up all of

[23:01:57] the presents, the last present specifically.

[23:01:59] Just would have caused a cutscene to effectively finish early.

[23:02:04] And now we have small RNG segment. It's actually really, there is a lot of luck involved in this present minigame

[23:02:09] We want to get big presents to make the number go up faster

[23:02:13] We need to hit 100 but sometimes the game can just spawn a bunch of reds.

[23:02:17] Early green! And it's very unlucky. Two early greens?

[23:02:21] Three early greens is good. I'd say we could get one very fast donation

[23:02:25] in here though as well.

[23:02:27] Absolutely, I have a $10

[23:02:30] donation from i'm surprise!

[23:02:33] I can't believe I was tricked by that planned mickey death how heartless

[23:02:36] of you.

[23:02:38] I'd love to stay up for the whole run, but I'm at a punt nobody

[23:02:42] would want to hear and I just don't have the

[23:02:46] heart! Good luck Ninten.

[23:02:49] Thank you.

[23:02:51] Alright we're heading into one of my personal favorite fights in this speedrun

[23:02:54] The experiment fight

[23:02:56] This is a great display

[23:02:58] Of that duck flare ability That we've just got This is a great display of that Duck Flare ability

[23:03:00] we just got, the Limit combination attack with Donald.

[23:03:04] The cool thing about using Duck Flare and doing our combos

[23:03:07] with it is there's a neat mechanic in this game called damage amplification.

[23:03:11] Basically whenever we do multiple hit attacks, the next couple hits after

[23:03:15] the first one would be like chip damage but if something else

[23:03:19] hits them during the attack,

[23:03:20] then every single hit does full damage.

[23:03:23] So we use that here in this fight and get maximum damage

[23:03:26] by using our multi-hit attacks like Aerial Dive

[23:03:28] and Aerial Spiral and Horizontal Slash.

[23:03:30] We'll be doing three duckflares in total

[23:03:33] here, and you will see that every single hit is doing a ton of damage mid-duckflare. Grow

[23:03:38] ethers! When you want to kill things quickly, Duck Flare.

[23:03:45] This is fine.

[23:03:48] Yeah, he'll be okay.

[23:03:49] Nice!

[23:03:53] Horizontal slash counting as a finisher

[23:03:55] to kill off bosses.

[23:03:57] Absolutely love Duck Flare there

[23:03:59] You can see spamming it three times

[23:04:01] It uses that whole MP bar every time though, so you've got to make sure

[23:04:04] you throw not just one but two ethers a lot of the time since if you are already in that pink

[23:04:09] MP recharge, the ether will not refill all of your MP.

[23:04:13] You have to have some left for it to refill

[23:04:15] the whole thing, otherwise

[23:04:16] its going to refill a smaller amount.

[23:04:19] Do a cool loop in here with Wisdom Form

[23:04:22] that's why I swapped out Aladdin aladdin for donald here got

[23:04:26] bulky vendors so it clears out all the tents for us i was hoping for andy you can get anti

[23:04:32] from there it's optimal your fashion yeah yep would have been a very small percent

[23:04:37] like what like a 15 or 20 percent or something like that yeah that's right i've gone in runs

[23:04:42] so now we go into agrabah too this is definitely one of the more restrictive

[23:04:45] of the second visits you go

[23:04:46] to is that sword doesn't have any other party members with him he is stuck to

[23:04:49] the carpet and i can definitely make these first couple of mob fights very frustrating

[23:04:53] nintendo has to do a lot of reacting to wherever the enemies are in that first wave

[23:04:57] but then out of that he can catch

[23:04:59] the enemies, reflect their retaliation

[23:05:01] because they angi after

[23:05:03] they got stuck in that magnet

[23:05:05] and go into another

[23:05:07] magnet to deal massive damage. Yeah, big thing with mob fights like

[23:05:12] that one uh you know Heartless and Nobody Fights

[23:05:15] now that we have Magnet or even Magnera at this point.

[23:05:19] If you can have a magnet up when they spawn

[23:05:22] They tend to spawn pretty close to Sora

[23:05:25] So you will collect them in that magnet and then

[23:05:27] They're nice and grouped up

[23:05:28] And you can do whatever you need to do in order to try to take them out as quickly as possible

[23:05:32] But on the very first spawn

[23:05:34] They are already spawned into the arena

[23:05:36] So they're going to move around randomly

[23:05:38] They're not gonna stay near Sora. Or

[23:05:40] if you ever don't

[23:05:42] have that magnet up as

[23:05:44] the enemies spawn then as soon

[23:05:46] as they spawn near Sora they are going to disperse

[23:05:48] and head all over the place. So these fights are all about making sure

[23:05:51] that you kill all the first wave of enemies at the same time

[23:05:54] and as you have freshly put up a magnet

[23:05:57] so that you can catch the next wave.

[23:05:59] Yeah, trust me, things go really badly as soon as any small thing goes wrong

[23:06:03] so you want to get rid of that way of next response see this is an example of things going

[23:06:08] wrong but enemy moved away it didn't get caught in the magnet.

[23:06:11] Ninten recovered and got the next wave of enemies to spawn

[23:06:14] in that next magnet and is able to take care of them.

[23:06:17] That was a very quick and smart recovery from there.

[23:06:21] If one fortune teller doesn't get into the magnet like this That was a very quick and smart recovery. Yeah! Oh, that if one

[23:06:22] fortune teller doesn't get in the magnet like that it can

[23:06:24] easily stagger the next

[23:06:26] wave as well and if that Crimson Jazz gets

[23:06:28] staggered from the Fortune Teller you're done. And that fight's

[23:06:30] critical because we want to end that fight with around

[23:06:33] this much MP

[23:06:33] because we need MP

[23:06:35] to activate these switches here.

[23:06:36] Each one takes

[23:06:37] a different magical element,

[23:06:38] this one will be thunder,

[23:06:39] next blizzard

[23:06:40] and the last fire

[23:06:41] and if we don't have MP

[23:06:42] we either have to waste blizzard...

[23:06:44] Waste blizzards? Uh, waste ethers on them

[23:06:46] which we really don't want to do or wait for our MP

[23:06:48] to get back. Intent's also having

[23:06:50] to dodge the attacks of the enemies

[23:06:52] while lining up the various magic you use for the switches yeah last one here

[23:06:57] probably the scariest because this crimson jazz could one shot us yeah but thankfully

[23:07:01] the switch becomes ready the fastest so yeah you can just kind of yolo it instead of having to dodge around

[23:07:07] i'll get a 41. if we got a 41 then that quit the run i I think.

[23:07:16] Alright, so this is just one of the last autoscrollers

[23:07:18] here and

[23:07:20] we'll be trying to get experience. It's really important

[23:07:22] that we hit level 30 during this autoscroller

[23:07:24] but thankfully it's very easy to get every enemy that spawns

[23:07:26] during this so we have time for some donations here ninten calling me out dude i think it's

[23:07:30] so hard to get everyone please go for some donuts absolutely we have a10 donation from Late to the Party.

[23:07:39] Always love seeing Ninten on my screen!

[23:07:48] Sending much love from the Pacific Northwest. Thank you

[23:07:50] We have a donation

[23:07:52] from Shooty for $5

[23:07:54] Hi Ninten! I woke

[23:07:56] up just in time.

[23:07:57] I hope next GDQ we're able to see you speedrun Poo Baseball

[23:08:03] We have a $50 donation

[23:08:06] To MSF from Violin Good luck with the run, Ninten! Super proud

[23:08:11] to see how much the community has optimized this run over the last few years.

[23:08:15] Everyone watching is in for a good treat.

[23:08:18] Shout out to Viol yeah let's go buy

[23:08:20] one of the best kingdom hearts one runners of all time

[23:08:22] up and coming th2 runner too recently started doing runs

[23:08:28] time for oh yeah you didn't kill that enemy I was gonna call you.

[23:08:32] Go ahead.

[23:08:34] I have Dark Nes mist

[23:08:38] with $25 to Doctors Without

[23:08:41] Borders. Hey, Ninten!

[23:08:43] It's been a pleasure getting to watch you crush

[23:08:45] this game from grinding

[23:08:47] PB attempts to labbing fights

[23:08:49] there is never a moment I'm not impressed with your technical know-how and execution.

[23:08:54] Much love from the Kingdom Hearts 2 FM Random community

[23:09:00] And remember nothingness is a turtle

[23:09:04] nothing is eternal you'll hear it later on

[23:09:10] thank you for showing me how to say that.

[23:09:12] Yeah, that'll make more sense later.

[23:09:16] Alright we're heading into the boss,

[23:09:18] the final boss of this world, Genie Jafar or just I guess Jafar

[23:09:26] Despite the fact that we are restricted to just our combos in the carpet this is a really cool fight yeah also a very tight fight it's really tough but it's

[23:09:31] another one of those satisfying ones to get down.

[23:09:33] Because then you can hopefully do it like every time.

[23:09:36] Especially with the new aerial sweet strap.

[23:09:38] Oh yeah I'm just really excited for this so we're going to use an ability that we never equipped

[23:09:43] But you have on on the carpet because

[23:09:45] the carpet has really special properties.

[23:09:47] It's called Aerial Sweep and

[23:09:49] I'll be using that in a moment here.

[23:09:51] So first we're going to defeat Jafar's stomach

[23:09:53] which I will be using the guard break iframes just like that to get it down.

[23:09:58] Then use aerial sweep right here because there are a ton of hits. Go into an air combo. Do

[23:10:04] another air combo to get in damage.

[23:10:06] So he has a bunch of HP gates, which we mentioned before.

[23:10:09] The gimmick about HP gates is that you need to do

[23:10:11] a finisher to get past it,

[23:10:13] to get into the next phase.

[23:10:14] We're in Phase 2 now and I need to use

[23:10:15] the finisher to get to phase 2.

[23:10:17] And right here we want to beat the fight by ideally only using one...

[23:10:24] Oh, actually this is going to be... You did the level one strat.

[23:10:28] Yeah.

[23:10:30] Things are getting a little scary here.

[23:10:32] This part, this is the desperation move of

[23:10:34] this boss. Desperation moves are big

[23:10:36] generally stylish attacks where bosses are

[23:10:38] invulnerable and they try

[23:10:41] to do a ton of damage to you. They do this

[23:10:43] big relentless attack. We're not too

[23:10:44] worried about dying in this part. I'm going to let you know

[23:10:47] right now, if I don't die it will be a miracle here yeah

[23:10:49] it will be a miracle it is this part that we're afraid of because now gg farm is going to spawn

[23:10:56] so many fireballs the ninton has to reflect and hope it does enough oh let's go yes

[23:11:04] aerial sweep

[23:11:08] oh Oh, he's not going for the roll-up.

[23:11:09] Let's go!

[23:11:12] In practice we were like if you get DM'd

[23:11:15] you're just gonna die right?

[23:11:18] Yeah my heart is pounding from that.

[23:11:21] That was pretty scary.

[23:11:22] That is how like particular every strategy

[23:11:24] is for every category in this run.

[23:11:26] Like Nintendo did a strategy

[23:11:27] that's all based around having Heroes Crest equipped

[23:11:29] so you have air combo boost on your Keyblade

[23:11:32] when it was supposed to be a strategy

[23:11:33] based around doing ground combos

[23:11:35] with the combo boost ability

[23:11:36] on Decisive Pumpkin.

[23:11:37] Right.

[23:11:38] So,

[23:11:38] really kind of threw things off there.

[23:11:40] And honestly,

[23:11:42] we arguably got to see something a lot cooler than the regular strat is

[23:11:44] a really good runner recovering it and

[23:11:46] getting out of probably the most dangerous

[23:11:49] attack in the entire Kingdom Hearts

[23:11:50] series. Yeah, Gini Jfar's attack right there i describe as

[23:11:55] it's a shoot them up and you don't have a goal pretty much so dodge him up like i love this

[23:12:01] straight into an action here we're going to go into master form at the beginning.

[23:12:04] Use a Master Form Magnet to get a Dragoon's proc and attack from the dust.

[23:12:09] Do Reflect into a magnet finishing leap.

[23:12:11] We have Decisive Pumpkin on now which does extra damage and then these three

[23:12:16] dragoons are going to spawn here i'm gonna do another magnet shuffle one maybe kill all the

[23:12:19] dragons with it oh that's good this is good where was the money?

[23:12:25] Very nice.

[23:12:29] And it doesn't end there because we're heading into the final boss of this world now.

[23:12:33] Going in to Zaldin. Gonna pop in a Master Form again

[23:12:36] that Magnet Shuffle does help refill that Drive a ton so had to do it at the end there

[23:12:40] in order to get to 4 drive for Master Form. I would need to get 9 jumps

[23:12:44] after 1 attack and this is really hard

[23:12:45] to match oh the full nine how do you do that

[23:12:52] i so what the strap for a long time is to parry

[23:12:55] that boss

[23:12:56] so that you can actually get all nine jumps but ninder just walks to the side

[23:13:00] and i don't get it into the duck player with

[23:13:03] that damage jam are down to one bar health watch it fly so good if you played this game you probably

[23:13:13] remember zoldan getting on his like weird dragon attack kind of thing.

[23:13:17] And the face in the spit!

[23:13:19] Yeah, and then dying

[23:13:20] and Mickey trying to save you

[23:13:21] and then dying again...

[23:13:22] And then he still came back

[23:13:24] Third time Mickey didn't come back

[23:13:26] Instead it's a a 20 second fight.

[23:13:29] That's going to be common theme for the rest of fights in game here.

[23:13:32] Yeah, now we're going into Land of Dragons. The battle level with this world is actually very low

[23:13:37] so that means that we do extra damage here because we went here last.

[23:13:39] That's the main reason why we go here later on.

[23:13:42] And it has got the least amount of, I guess really no useful tools

[23:13:46] compared to other worlds giving you access to greater magnets, flare force.

[23:13:50] I don't even know what you get here.

[23:13:52] I know one thing you get which I'll point out.

[23:13:54] Thunder?

[23:13:56] You do Thundara pops here!

[23:13:58] Going to Lim form these offense again

[23:14:01] it does so much damage to Decisive Pump Cannon

[23:14:05] Yeah, Decisive Pump Cannon having that base combo

[23:14:09] Dang And now we get Mickey Oh! Dang.

[23:14:11] And now we get Mickey.

[23:14:12] No, OK.

[23:14:12] I think you were doing the level one strut there too.

[23:14:14] Yes, I was.

[23:14:14] Yeah.

[23:14:15] OK.

[23:14:16] I want to give a massive shout out

[23:14:17] to Ninten that he was practicing both critical 80% and level one which are vastly different categories also

[23:14:24] have completely different menus and nintendo's just doing it all for memory unbelievable

[23:14:31] yep sonic blade is a much safer strat here.

[23:14:32] You get extra damage and you also get level 2 limit which I mentioned before

[23:14:35] where everybody wanted to hit. We don't have Drive which is unfortunate

[23:14:38] I actually get it back here

[23:14:42] Yeah, so Master Form and

[23:14:44] Limit Form are kind of more powerful

[23:14:46] at least according to the game

[23:14:48] And they cost 4 Drive Gauges instead

[23:14:50] of 3 to use

[23:14:52] Thankfully if you get to three You you can use a summon or some other drive form in order to help refill your drive.

[23:14:57] And in this case we want to use wisdom for movement anyways.

[23:15:00] But if then need to, you can either leave the world

[23:15:03] Or go into a room where your party members are around

[23:15:05] To get all of your drive back. So pretty much any time that we're refilling drive

[23:15:09] We want to get at least past 3 but sometimes we wanna get to 4 or 5

[23:15:15] Hey BokiBender.

[23:15:16] Oh yeah, Boki's here. More wisdom

[23:15:18] for movement to go a bit faster

[23:15:19] entering the courtyard fight. This is

[23:15:22] a fight that actually became a lot more

[23:15:24] consistent recently because we used to just do

[23:15:26] a Magnet Ultima right off the bat, but now we jump over

[23:15:28] here because we learned that this

[23:15:30] makes it much more consistent to

[23:15:32] defeat the entire mob here.

[23:15:34] I want to remind you all,

[23:15:36] the first part of that

[23:15:37] Trinity does not do damage,

[23:15:39] and yet two enemies completely died

[23:15:41] because of the Magna Shuffle.

[23:15:43] So it's just so strong.

[23:15:44] Yeah, it's funny how a piece of tech comes out of here's two instances

[23:15:49] of this does very little damage this does no damage but if you swipe them together all the sudden

[23:15:56] absolute buzzsaw to the health bars.

[23:15:58] One more mob fight here, go for it!

[23:16:00] Yeah another cool fight with the snipers

[23:16:02] Ninten's immediately going into vicinity break

[23:16:04] to get aggro on all enemies

[23:16:06] reflect twice and magnet

[23:16:10] kill off this first wave pretty quickly do the same thing here reflect them immediately because they've been hit back from their spawn

[23:16:13] magnet donald duck flair don't say that love it duck flare to end the fight.

[23:16:20] There's a lot of situations from this point onwards where you'll see

[23:16:23] a duck flare happen, and it's just because we need

[23:16:26] just a little bit extra damage to help the fight end

[23:16:28] and you might as well use the duck flare because

[23:16:30] it comes out so fast and immediately starts doing damn here we'll use duck flair to do full damage

[23:16:35] yes just two hits before he gets uses the RFC to hang on.

[23:16:41] Then I'm basically immediately going to do a Duck Flare, go for it!

[23:16:44] Yeah so now we're gonna use Duck Flare right here

[23:16:46] get a lot of damage and we want to hit his next phase

[23:16:49] because you want him to go into his matching commands do as

[23:16:53] much damage as we can just that's good enough right there

[23:16:57] we'll go ahead and summon stitch and hope that he can lick me they restore my

[23:17:00] MP here that he can look me to restore my mp here come on

[23:17:10] all right now we're gonna push it out to make sure that he can use Duck Flare.

[23:17:13] And this Duck Flare along with Damage Amp

[23:17:16] should be enough damage to take care of him

[23:17:18] before he gets back up.

[23:17:20] Again as Spikes mentioned in previous instances

[23:17:22] of the Duck Flare The timing of pressing Trigger And again, as Spike's mentioned in previous instances of that duck flare,

[23:17:24] the timing of pressing triangle for those extra bursts is very important.

[23:17:29] So now we're in what we like to dub the endgame portion

[23:17:32] of the run. We only got two worlds one mini world one ball stress

[23:17:36] world and then final fights so we're coming towards the end here very fast run yeah it's a

[23:17:42] lot faster when those seven gummy missions yeah, I think that made up anywhere between 20 and 25 minutes out there. It is close to 30

[23:17:49] Yeah

[23:17:50] This would be our final gummy mission here

[23:17:53] But instead we get to save the only bad part is it took away our bathroom breaks

[23:17:57] yes that is true yeah there isn't i always remember getting to those second visits of disney

[23:18:02] worlds where those don't have dummy missions at all tied to them.

[23:18:05] And it felt like, whoo! This is a lot

[23:18:07] All of the sudden back-to-back-to-back-to-back

[23:18:09] So I can't imagine for everybody

[23:18:10] Who's been doing runs on this

[23:18:12] The feeling of oh yeah that's the whole run

[23:18:14] It's just two and half hours

[23:18:15] Of go go go go also if you're

[23:18:18] ever wondering why we didn't go to pride lens we don't have to that's pretty much all you need

[23:18:21] to know so if you want to see pridelands tune into twitch.tv for any random basically just tune in For any rando.

[23:18:27] Yeah, for basically just tune into the first five minutes of

[23:18:30] any rando.

[23:18:31] So I want to point out that we got the secret fourth part

[23:18:35] of the Holy Trinity of limits which is warly goof one of my

[23:18:39] favorite limits in the entire game we'll be using it I didn't know you too

[23:18:43] I don't know if you were still gonna use it or not on a crit end. Oh yeah, it's great. It's still really good.

[23:18:51] But before that we're going into this fight

[23:18:53] We call it the Mickey Fight because Mickey helps us out

[23:18:56] although we actually don't want him to do anything

[23:18:58] because he ruins the Magn shuffle with Master Jane.

[23:19:01] And this is so cool, I love the way this fight works because it's so weird.

[23:19:05] You have to make sure that you're not targeting any enemies even with that little orange auto target thing.

[23:19:10] Then pop a magnet so you know it goes straight above yourself.

[23:19:13] Then using the limit from Master Genie

[23:19:16] It pulls all of the enemies into the magnet

[23:19:18] which not only does a ton of damage from the Magnet Shuffle

[23:19:21] it also refills that summon gauge.

[23:19:23] Look at the bottom right corner. See how high

[23:19:25] that gauge is going? It's just

[23:19:27] so powerful and then these enemies for some reason

[23:19:29] you want to get right up on top of them right above them instead

[23:19:32] of further away from them it's so particular and it's just fantastic good fight good fight

[23:19:36] goodbye i can't believe mickey is messing with her strats i have a mickey don't know if that's okay

[23:19:43] fifty dollars from equations 19 safe let's go did somebody mention the door to darkness

[23:19:51] good luck on the run nint! And loving the commentary as always.

[23:19:53] There's a real line in this video game.

[23:19:57] Can y'all believe that happened? Can you believe Disney let that happen?

[23:20:01] So coming up here is I can't believe Disney let that happen.

[23:20:04] So coming up here is the first fight we'll be using Warlygoof,

[23:20:07] we're actually going to use it with a magnet shuffle

[23:20:09] but it will do extra damage for everything here

[23:20:12] and this fight is also going to be really scary because there's a few ways to get one shot after this first fight here.

[23:20:17] So in this, we're gonna do lock on and then press triangle right away like this

[23:20:23] so you line it up and then do order goof.

[23:20:28] So good.

[23:20:30] I love that limit.

[23:20:31] Yeah,

[23:20:33] I appreciate that always call those buzz saws and then that's like a literal bug

[23:20:38] spinning

[23:20:39] So now we got the axel, go ahead

[23:20:41] Oh yeah so now we're gonna attack the dust and they'll retaliate by attacking Axle

[23:20:45] Their main focus is Axles, we have to move towards Axel

[23:20:47] And uh...

[23:20:48] Axel's actually very annoying here because the attacks that he does

[23:20:51] can actually ruin our back nets

[23:20:53] by separating all of the enemies from it.

[23:20:54] So we're gonna go into Limit Form and then Revert

[23:20:57] just to get the MP refill right there.

[23:20:59] We want our effects because whenever

[23:21:01] the assassins come out of their magnet, they actually

[23:21:03] go straight in an attack but they can also do

[23:21:05] a explosion which one-shots us.

[23:21:07] So we cannot let that happen and this is actually a good fight.

[23:21:10] Nice!

[23:21:12] That fight can go even faster if you get lucky

[23:21:15] and Axel uses one specific attack over and over again he did it once in the entire

[23:21:19] fight yeah that is still a fight that you should be more than happy to see though oh definitely

[23:21:25] all right so now we are going into the final boss rush

[23:21:29] world effectively. The world that never was

[23:21:31] This is a lot of runners favorite world

[23:21:33] I think because of all of the intricacies

[23:21:35] of these fights and for Ninten

[23:21:37] were gonna help him out here on all these because there's a lot of focus.

[23:21:39] Yes. This first one is Roxas,

[23:21:42] Nintens gonna be doing this track called Fast & Furious so

[23:21:45] you're gonna start by reflecting the boss making sure that

[23:21:48] we get all that damage and then doing a specific set of combos

[23:21:50] so the boss retaliates right there

[23:21:52] with a ground combo. Do two

[23:21:54] reflects into either getting hit

[23:21:56] or doing a jump and doing an aerial

[23:21:58] reflect. Now going to kind of repeat the same

[23:22:01] kind of thing using a blizzard into

[23:22:03] those reflects there,

[23:22:05] going into limit form in order

[23:22:07] to refill all the MP, deal some

[23:22:09] extra damage, gonna get another Zantetsuken

[23:22:12] then parry the boss with

[23:22:14] the iframes of an Ars Arcana to give more

[23:22:16] damage as well. Another Zantetsuken

[23:22:18] into revert, pop that

[23:22:20] Ether, use more Ref more reflects here and then going

[23:22:23] to quickly go into what's likely

[23:22:25] gonna be a magnet into Trinity after another reflect

[23:22:29] And that is gonna finish off the loss.

[23:22:32] Absolutely gorgeous because you look at that drive gauge down there going to finish up the loss.

[23:22:33] Absolutely gorgeous, because you look at that drive gauge down there in the bottom right.

[23:22:35] He was able to go from about one bar all the way

[23:22:37] up to over three bars. We want

[23:22:39] over three, because coming up now,

[23:22:41] we've been talking about the whole run

[23:22:43] trying to avoid anti-form the entire run

[23:22:45] until this exact moment right here.

[23:22:48] We're gonna equip that new Keyblade

[23:22:50] we just got, the Two Becomes One.

[23:22:51] It forces either anti-form or

[23:22:54] final form, and we actually want to see

[23:22:56] anti-form ideally right here.

[23:22:59] So we're going to get into a fight

[23:23:00] which you can tell from the bottom left once

[23:23:02] the command menu switches into combat mode

[23:23:05] and then pop into wisdom. So because

[23:23:07] of that Keyblade, bam there's anti

[23:23:09] form. The reason why we're going to do this

[23:23:11] between this and the next turn, we're going to do it two times

[23:23:13] and that should hopefully drop our anti points all the

[23:23:16] way down because we will have seen it twice where you will safely never see it again throughout

[23:23:21] the watch the bottom right here from zero to four bars.

[23:23:26] Then after this Trinity ends,

[23:23:27] needs to quickly get into another drive form

[23:23:30] to get that anti-form.

[23:23:31] Dropping all those points

[23:23:32] and now anti-form like you said Spike

[23:23:34] never going to show up for the rest of the run.

[23:23:37] Because fun fact it actually has a multiplier to show up on the organization

[23:23:39] fights I think its a 50%

[23:23:41] multiplier. Its something massive its

[23:23:43] four times or so. If you have 10 anti points

[23:23:45] which is basically the cap of like the limit of it you are going to get

[23:23:49] anti-form on them yeah 100 so now we go into the zygmarch again this is a big boss rush

[23:23:55] we got here at the end nintenen reapplying the Hero's Crest Keyblade because our Strength

[23:24:00] stat doesn't matter much, we want the air combo boost off of it because Xigbar is going

[23:24:06] to be chilling up in the air the entire time. Let's do air combos!

[23:24:09] We're gonna give him these first three sets of lasers

[23:24:11] To particularly manipulate how he is going to react

[23:24:14] To this duck flare, because again

[23:24:16] Wooo! This is how you kill things quickly

[23:24:18] Going into a very specific

[23:24:20] combo right here to not

[23:24:21] overflinch him to where he's not going

[23:24:24] to retaliate in a bad way.

[23:24:26] So trying to pump all that damage, we ideally

[23:24:28] want to see 2.8 bars before we make a big move. Valor Form

[23:24:32] filling in for some damage right here and more importantly refilling that NP bar.

[23:24:37] Let's go for another Duck Flare, and if Ninten can get those perfect

[23:24:41] damage amps and not

[23:24:43] overflinch him, he can send them all the

[23:24:45] way from 100% health

[23:24:47] all the way to the end!

[23:24:49] Let's go, baby!

[23:24:53] Real quick, Ninten, did you get the elixir i didn't i did yes okay good yeah we're gonna need that

[23:24:55] yes later on back to three drafts we're going to use some wisdom form for

[23:24:59] movement here to get to the next fight and it's going to help

[23:25:02] refill that drive because we're gonna end it enter another room where your

[23:25:05] party members are walking around they're not in your party right one thing to

[23:25:09] note is that we're actually doing like really pretty low damage uh because this world is like the last

[23:25:15] part of the game and we haven't really fought anything other than the small grandi segments so

[23:25:19] this part is particularly difficult to get through room we're pretty much at minimum damage like

[23:25:24] you are i think just over in one of your stats you can just get over if you are in valor form

[23:25:31] at the end of the game because you have all the keyloids. Which makes it interesting

[23:25:34] because your level 1 does the same damage

[23:25:36] as Crit does in this world. Yeah,

[23:25:38] it's incredible and now Thar, this is one of your favorites.

[23:25:40] Oh yes, this is probably the hardest fight

[23:25:42] in the game to learn and master

[23:25:43] instead of health bars we have those time gauges at the top Probably the hardest fight in the game to learn and master.

[23:25:44] Instead of health bars, we have those time gauges at the top

[23:25:46] that's how we're gonna kill Luxord for Sora it's irrelevant

[23:25:49] First, we gotta get out this die form

[23:25:51] We're going into do a little ground combo on Luxor

[23:25:54] Make him spawn some cards.

[23:25:55] Do what we call Reflect Slapshot or Reflec in RSR

[23:25:58] Basically we got Slap Shot off the Axel Pikes

[23:26:00] A quick little attack that we can fit in between two Reflex

[23:26:03] So we get 2 Reflex worth of damage on Luxer

[23:26:05] Lots of damage, and

[23:26:06] We can quickly push him into this next phase where we're hoping to see these minigames here

[23:26:10] Which we can reflect on them, and then quickly hit his RB

[23:26:14] so he goes in another attack hopefully mini game he's

[23:26:16] jumping that's fine nintendo reacts i think he's going to do a little magnet

[23:26:20] combo yep so that keeps all the cards around

[23:26:23] quickly reflect another minigame and we're just hoping to see this for the rest of the

[23:26:27] fight that card staying alive is a little dangerous so then it's gonna have

[23:26:30] to pay attention to that

[23:26:33] all right this is fun look she's going underground yeah so hopefully you try to avoid this because you can't hurt him during that but it's a pretty small time loss if you do end up getting it

[23:26:40] So it's not a big deal

[23:26:42] But cards are really unlucky

[23:26:44] It's pretty much just like 50-50 if he does cards or not

[23:26:46] And not much you can do about it just have to react accordingly

[23:26:50] minton smartly doing that mac for that reflect there because he knew a card was

[23:26:53] just about to attack each side here you can reflect into the card i never knew that i okay yeah basically activated the fire

[23:27:03] card after i had reflected which gave me

[23:27:06] the reflect damage off a quick rsr there on the mini game it's

[23:27:10] fun little thing you can do if you have a card alive and attacking you

[23:27:13] but now we're going to push luxor into his dm health threshold

[23:27:16] cool thing about luxury is when he's dm'd he cannot retaliate when he's grounded. So we're going to keep

[23:27:21] Luxord grounded in one super long

[23:27:23] Limit Form combo here

[23:27:25] basically skip his final DM

[23:27:27] and end the fight

[23:27:29] Uhhhh... Is is gonna be enough damage

[23:27:32] all right nintendo can just do a couple attacks here

[23:27:35] oh on this one oh no okay so funny thing is that this exact thing happened in my last 3DK run.

[23:27:43] So I think it's just a curse fact.

[23:27:46] Lock Sword is like you say one of the hardest if not the hardest fights in the whole game.

[23:27:50] Here's one of other things about this fight is that it changed

[23:27:53] when the jump from 30 fps to 60 fps in a way that pretty much just affects speed runners uh

[23:28:01] the card attack that we keep saying we don't really want to see,

[23:28:03] we'd rather see minigame over and over,

[23:28:05] not as much the cards.

[23:28:06] That card attack used to have

[23:28:08] all the cards that spawn

[23:28:09] jump and like follow you,

[23:28:12] follow Luxord

[23:28:13] and it was generally exacerbated jump and like follow you, follow Luxord.

[23:28:13] And it was generally exactly what you wanted because if they're coming towards

[23:28:17] you can reflect them reliably.

[23:28:19] The jump to 60 FPS for some reason made it unreliable.

[23:28:23] Sometimes they'll follow Luxord

[23:28:25] and thus follow you. Other times,

[23:28:27] they won't, like they just didn't right there.

[23:28:29] So you then have to react

[23:28:31] to which one they do,

[23:28:32] which is one of the things that makes this fight

[23:28:34] so much more difficult.

[23:28:36] In fact, newer runners to this game set your FPS to 30 if you're on PC.

[23:28:41] Just do it every time for a long time and it will be way more consistent for you.

[23:28:46] Yeah, instead it's a lot more reactionary that

[23:28:48] Ninten has to play this fight

[23:28:50] because it's going to be different every single

[23:28:52] time he does it. Ideally he just does the

[23:28:54] mini game every single time. times you're gonna see like tonight

[23:28:57] it's getting a little bit of a little bit of hose seeing cards over and over and over

[23:29:01] and over again that car just knocked him away did not let him catch luxor until he was able

[23:29:05] to go underground do his little find me mini game. The other

[23:29:08] thing about this fight that makes it hard is the terrain like you see there's

[23:29:11] a slope terrain and ideally we don't want Luxor to retaliate in

[23:29:15] the air because that will guarantee a jump and he'll instantly go underground.

[23:29:20] So let's

[23:29:20] go for it again here.

[23:29:22] With the Aether, this should be good

[23:29:24] on damage. So as Spike mentioned

[23:29:26] a long time ago, if you use Ars Arcanum this attack

[23:29:29] right here with all the rapid slashes from KH1

[23:29:31] and you don't use the very

[23:29:33] last attack of it that finish

[23:29:35] command. It will not

[23:29:37] apply revenge value for that entire attack.

[23:29:40] So you get a bunch of hits without prompting retaliation

[23:29:43] from the boss.

[23:29:44] And the other kind of nice thing about the death is that Ninten

[23:29:47] was able to finish in limit form so he gets all his drive back here

[23:29:50] instead of having to build it back.

[23:29:51] Yeah, just goes to show how difficult

[23:29:53] this entire speedrun is because you get through

[23:29:55] the first two hours of a run and then

[23:29:58] you get to the hardest part of the game,

[23:30:00] the boss coming in.

[23:30:00] And one death is just running over.

[23:30:02] Yeah.

[23:30:02] Minutes lost.

[23:30:03] Saix another cool boss here.

[23:30:05] I know Ninten likes to talk about this one a little bit.

[23:30:07] So we're going to quick run here

[23:30:08] to get Donald into correct position

[23:30:10] and not die to that hit right there.

[23:30:12] Now we're going to make sure Donald doesn't get hit at all

[23:30:13] because you need him to be alive

[23:30:14] for wisdom form and duck there.

[23:30:16] We'll also preset it

[23:30:16] because you have to go into wisdom form very quickly here,

[23:30:19] use a magnet to get retaliation here,

[23:30:21] go into this and use Aerospiral six times for damage amplification.

[23:30:26] Go into a very quick combo, go into Wizard Form...

[23:30:31] That's so good!...expects to get hit there. going to his inform.

[23:30:33] That's so good.

[23:30:35] Expects to get hit there, by the way.

[23:30:37] Get Syax away from Claymore because if he's too close that

[23:30:39] duck fillet will split the damage between Syax

[23:30:41] and Claymore.

[23:30:45] That built up drive and build a ton of damage unfortunately donald died so he couldn't go into his second duck flare

[23:30:48] there it's pretty easy to get out this phase

[23:30:52] though yeah so in this fight he just does a few attacks

[23:30:55] use the Claymore again

[23:30:57] now we can Potion Donald

[23:31:01] So you go for the reflect

[23:31:02] be safe

[23:31:03] potion Donald so now you can use that duck flare

[23:31:05] limit again and there we go

[23:31:07] finished off the fight

[23:31:09] Yep, that's an unfortunate part of running

[23:31:11] Crichton level 1 is Donald can die very easily

[23:31:13] And sometimes it's out of your control. Yeah, like

[23:31:16] Ninten did pretty much everything he

[23:31:18] could there to keep Donald at full health for

[23:31:20] as long as possible, and then once

[23:31:22] Sykes is dashing around

[23:31:24] it's like well you gotta hope Donald doesn't run into the path of the claymore, around it's like well you got to hope donald doesn't run into

[23:31:26] the path of the claymore and that's about all you can do

[23:31:29] if you have enough time you can maybe throw a potion when you see him get

[23:31:31] lower but sometimes it's just gonna he's going to get hit very late so we're

[23:31:35] about to head up to

[23:31:37] zemnus he is the final thing standing between us and victory let's try

[23:31:40] to get in one more quick donation as we're running at the ramp

[23:31:44] for sure we have a 50 $50 donation from Bryce and

[23:31:48] Robot. For anyone still

[23:31:50] confused about the story of Kingdom Hearts,

[23:31:52] it is simply thus. My friends

[23:31:54] are my power! When

[23:31:56] friends come together they can do amazing things like share techniques to beat games in ridiculous time.

[23:32:01] Raise incredible amounts of money for charity or even explain the story of kingdom hearts listen three thank you so much

[23:32:11] thank you thank you for that donation not going for building lists i'm so disappointed

[23:32:17] so i think uh sorry you want to explain this fight?

[23:32:20] Oh yeah. This is our first time fighting Xemnas here and we're going to do a cool little cinematic running up the building

[23:32:26] And there's gonna be a set of three reaction commands here

[23:32:28] We wanna wait till the very last one because that's going to do maximum

[23:32:30] damage to them this and put him in position for us to begin the fight name of the game is keep

[23:32:34] him off this ramp and those stairs at the big out at the bottom there so sword's gonna land

[23:32:39] first nintendo's gonna jump and do an air combo on Xemnas

[23:32:41] To put him into the middle of the arena away from these stairs

[23:32:44] Where we will really get messed up if he's there

[23:32:46] And basically do a set of three reflect slap shot reflect combos

[23:32:50] On Xemnas here because we he's guaranteed

[23:32:52] to do this attack when you're standing right next to him.

[23:32:56] Now Xemnas is it should be in his second phase here where he's going to start teleporting

[23:33:00] around and give us one of three different attacks.

[23:33:02] The short attack, there's one where you can summon a shield

[23:33:05] which... Nope! Here's the long attack.

[23:33:07] This is actually ideal to see right here

[23:33:08] because it lets us get in the most amount

[23:33:10] of damage possible on Xemnas

[23:33:12] and we're going to try to end this fight lets us get in the most amount of damage possible on Xemnas, and

[23:33:12] we're going to try to end this fight with one long...

[23:33:17] Going towards

[23:33:17] the stairs. It's not good.

[23:33:19] I think you're good. You got him.

[23:33:22] Yes!

[23:33:27] Nice! It was... you're good okay you got him yes nice it was like so critical that intent ended that in limit form once committing to it because otherwise would not have any drive coming out of

[23:33:32] this fight and or it would have one drive gig i guess coming out of this fight or would have one drive

[23:33:34] gauge, I guess, coming out of this fight.

[23:33:36] You really need drive for this next section.

[23:33:38] Yeah, drive management is so

[23:33:40] important throughout this entire run.

[23:33:42] There's one thing that can refill your drive, really

[23:33:45] One item pickup in the entire

[23:33:47] run and Detectives doesn't even get it

[23:33:49] Oh, we're- oh, one thing to mention

[23:33:51] is that we're only down to 1 potion now

[23:33:53] which is all that we need as long as nothing bad

[23:33:56] happens. Riku's

[23:33:58] pretty much a nurse at this point. Yes he is.

[23:34:00] He has to keep your party alive. That's true. Riku has

[23:34:01] some potions

[23:34:03] on him to begin with. Has some ethers because I don't think you took them right?

[23:34:06] No yeah he's got ethers too. And then he also

[23:34:08] a healing spell or his

[23:34:10] ability that costs 99 MP

[23:34:12] not 100 which means

[23:34:14] can actually use it twice per MP bar.

[23:34:19] Yep so connecting through the buildings here we're going into

[23:34:21] this is the final boss rush so if you go in here

[23:34:24] you can't return to any other part of your game

[23:34:26] We are gonna get through the core here with Magnus If you go in here, you can't return to any other part of the game.

[23:34:27] We're going to get through the core with magnets.

[23:34:30] Just have to knock everything into the cylinders.

[23:34:33] I want Riku to refill my magic after I use three magnets

[23:34:36] because the fourth magnet will put me into MP recharge.

[23:34:39] So Rikyu doesn't usually do it when he's attacking, but when he's done you should hopefully.

[23:34:44] There he goes.

[23:34:46] Thanks Brett!

[23:34:53] Do the same thing for this dinner right here and him pre-setting his uh menus to places we want to be for the next fight here

[23:34:57] one convenient thing about just how any percent happens to

[23:35:00] route out is the only magic that you get all three instances of is actually magnet so we

[23:35:06] have a form mag mega which is big drawing in all enemies around you if they exist

[23:35:11] anywhere which is particularly useful also going into this next fight right

[23:35:14] here yep so here i'll be farming a little bit it's really uh precise when

[23:35:18] time the magnet here because i want to do as much damage

[23:35:21] that i can to the enemies inside of it just like this with thunder to finish it

[23:35:25] out in master form then we're going to do a magnets

[23:35:28] into another magnet and use where to go for one last time to clear the rest of the wave here.

[23:35:34] Just like that.

[23:35:35] So good, back up to 3 drive again so you can summon genie

[23:35:39] Yep and then we're gonna do some more Genie canceling

[23:35:41] This ones harder because I just swap over to Master Form mid-Juni cancel

[23:35:43] Do a very precise magnet again right here

[23:35:46] Intentional hit by the way

[23:35:48] Yes

[23:35:49] Now target swap over to this assassin

[23:35:51] Use a magnet.

[23:35:53] Move over closer to the core, do another Magnet Ultima

[23:35:56] with a Magnet Shuffle.

[23:35:58] This Trinity Limit is going to do damage to the Creeper

[23:36:01] and then it will do damage to Core afterwards right here.

[23:36:06] Going into Valor Form, as Spike mentioned

[23:36:08] we're doing extra damage in Valor Form

[23:36:12] Ninten also put the Oblivion Keyblade on Valorform just to help us get over that threshold.

[23:36:15] And now trying to build back up to three drives so he can go into Valorform again for another MP refill

[23:36:20] To not have to throw two ethers because he's pretty limited on Aethers at this point.

[23:36:27] Starts in Valor form,

[23:36:29] going to have to revert and then go straight into attacking the boss. And then the

[23:36:31] elixir that we got earlier is for this

[23:36:33] fight here. He's going to try to keep Donald alive,

[23:36:36] use a Duck Flare and an Elixir

[23:36:38] right before it so that it

[23:36:40] lands right after using

[23:36:41] the Duck Flare. That's gonna refill his MP bar completely

[23:36:44] then he can ideally use another

[23:36:46] Duck Flare and get a little bit of extra reflect damage first. Thankfully

[23:36:50] Donald stayed alive. Yes! He's literally at 1 HP right now. That is so good

[23:36:54] Armored Xemnas 1 I cannot express to you

[23:36:57] how difficult it is

[23:36:59] because you have to carry

[23:37:01] continue a combo

[23:37:03] start a combo and keep it going

[23:37:05] while also throwing an Elixir

[23:37:06] in the middle of it.

[23:37:08] Like, that is not something you do.

[23:37:11] That is just hard.

[23:37:11] You usually would do any of those things

[23:37:13] in between combos but you have to do

[23:37:15] it in the middle of a combo there.

[23:37:17] And this fight's really interesting because we get

[23:37:18] to do a thing called finisher canceling where if

[23:37:20] we use Riku's attacks in between

[23:37:22] our finishers and lets us keep

[23:37:24] our finishing plus so we can do infinite

[23:37:26] finishers which is good because the finishers knock all of the enemies over towards the enemies

[23:37:30] It's difficult to do though

[23:37:31] Because I could as you can see after claw the controller and hit X and square or circle and x

[23:37:37] Depending on if I have to drain the attacks coming

[23:37:40] at me or not. You can also die here very easily.

[23:37:41] This is a fight you cannot heal on, so

[23:37:43] it's incredibly dangerous and incredibly

[23:37:46] heartbreaking when you die in a run.

[23:37:48] I have lost a few runs of dying in this fight

[23:37:50] And this is the same principle that

[23:37:52] Genie Cancel operates

[23:37:54] under, where you can do extra horizontal

[23:37:56] slashes. But with that

[23:37:58] Ninten's just going to be trying to survive

[23:38:00] defeat each piece of Dragon's End as quickly as possible.

[23:38:02] So it's probably one of our last chances for donations.

[23:38:06] Sounds great! We have a $25 donation to MSF from Patsykin say fellas did somebody mention the doctors

[23:38:17] without borders I'm so willing to do any voices that y'all want.

[23:38:23] I have a $100 donation from Archie23,

[23:38:28] Ninten's ability to recover from any circumstance is wild.

[23:38:32] You're the best, brother! Doctors Without Borders

[23:38:35] is one of the best causes you can donate to. Please help if

[23:38:38] you can. Time for another one?

[23:38:41] Yeah, until you see Blue Eyes what blue eyes white dragon off your screen

[23:38:44] you're good okay okay we have a 250 donation from barbados slimb, I'll keep it simple and clean.

[23:38:58] And say the Kingdom Hearts franchise was a sanctuary for me

[23:39:02] and my brother growing up. That said,

[23:39:05] I still don't understand the full lore.

[23:39:07] And my brother growing up.

[23:39:09] Just add that empty in there.

[23:39:12] We have

[23:39:13] a $25 donation from viking viking long time watcher first time donator here had to donate

[23:39:22] during the best game ever created kingdom hearts will always have a special place in my

[23:39:26] life, and with J-Hobbs,

[23:39:29] Spike, and Ninten, this can only

[23:39:31] get amazing greetings from Germany.

[23:39:34] Awesome.

[23:39:34] That's the end of this fight.

[23:39:36] One thing to mention is I got hit twice there in sections that are pretty luck-based if you get hit or not

[23:39:41] which is fine because we can tank them but now going into this fight

[23:39:44] We keep our health

[23:39:46] So i'm gonna hope that Riku can throw a potion.

[23:39:48] Ideally not use his magic because

[23:39:50] he could do some cool stuff with it.

[23:39:52] He did use the magic though which is fine.

[23:39:54] We'll have to take a little bit of a slower

[23:39:56] first phase here.

[23:39:59] That blade one-shots, so we cannot get hit by that.

[23:40:02] And Barrier almost one-shots.

[23:40:06] I mean definitely the Blade has multiple hitboxes but...

[23:40:10] Nothing misses a turtle.

[23:40:15] So this is a three phase fight effectively? Used used to actually be four phases back in the PS2, KHQ English phase.

[23:40:24] Did it?

[23:40:24] Yeah.

[23:40:25] They combined the first two.

[23:40:28] That's why you do so much damage in the

[23:40:29] first phase here, because now here for the other two phases

[23:40:32] it's just going to be a bar and half apiece

[23:40:35] And again love though that usage of combo master there

[23:40:38] reflecting that lance attack and then dragging it with the slide dash to where

[23:40:43] the splash damage from the reflect also hits yeah because combo master allows you

[23:40:48] to continue a combo even if your attacks do not connect with the enemy.

[23:40:52] Whereas normally, you need to connect those attacks.

[23:40:55] Ninten went for something here called what we call fast building

[23:40:58] when you just saw Sora tweaking all over the screen there

[23:41:01] that was Ninten spamming the aerial dodge

[23:41:02] as much height as possible.

[23:41:04] You actually get all of your growth abilities,

[23:41:06] all the ones you would get from the drive forms in this fight

[23:41:08] whether you've unlocked them or not. So that's why he's

[23:41:10] gliding, it's how he's using aerial dodge and he could even dodge

[23:41:13] roll if you wanted to but gonna try to make sure that he's at full mp at the end of this fight

[23:41:18] or at least close to it and that should be good.

[23:41:24] Alright, heading into the final fight here.

[23:41:26] This actually has one of the coolest strats in the game

[23:41:29] We call it dancing with a devil

[23:41:31] because we're going to be using reaction commands and staying on the ground

[23:41:35] when you are supposed to be flying up in the air during this sequence. And we'll be using well-timed reflects, and a well-timed

[23:41:38] combo to get extra damage in. Right here is the difficult combo.

[23:41:45] Reflect finisher, use reverse so Ganser not a reflex

[23:41:49] And only some Xemnas'

[23:41:53] There's like him and a clone, only one of them takes damage so knowing exactly when to do each reflex that it lands its damage on the one that can actually take it. it nice and what we're looking for here is trying to get him basically right above four

[23:42:12] bars of health just once he good audible golly so i know how to recover this is fine

[23:42:20] we're gonna wait for him to appear right next to us which would take a little bit here

[23:42:26] ours are catch interrupted an, that's our catch.

[23:42:28] Interrupted an attack that Xemnas generally

[23:42:30] would do there.

[23:42:34] Now we're going to go back to doing Dancing

[23:42:36] with the Devil here. When that health bar gets just under 1, got like 80% of one bar left

[23:42:40] The game's over.

[23:42:46] And that's it. Very nice!

[23:42:51] Oh, you don't have enough drive for the

[23:42:53] uh...for like a swag

[23:42:55] or something?

[23:42:57] Alright, that is basically at the end of the run there's a minute and a half here

[23:43:00] and then uh time is when i hit finals on this so i want to take this time

[23:43:03] to give a huge shout out to the cage community

[23:43:06] a big shout out to my couch spike hob Hobbs and Thar C1.

[23:43:11] Shout outs to you my girlfriend Haru.

[23:43:15] And for anyone wanting to learn this run

[23:43:17] it'd be really awesome if we got new runners. So head over to speedrun.com slash KH2, I believe

[23:43:23] and go through the resources or guides tab

[23:43:26] I've actually made a Google document that has

[23:43:28] a list of everything you need to get started

[23:43:30] I think this is the best time

[23:43:32] to get into the game because of Gummy Skip,

[23:43:34] it makes the run so much better paced

[23:43:36] for new runners and

[23:43:40] I think that's probably about it.

[23:43:42] Anything you guys want to say?

[23:43:43] Thanks for letting us do this again,

[23:43:44] I always love commentating on this game

[23:43:45] It is so impressive to watch you play it

[23:43:47] and big shoutouts to all of the people who helped push this further

[23:43:50] like Ninten, InsertLogic, V vg master so many people too many to name

[23:43:55] i just want to give a special shout out to all the modders out there sonic shadow silver uh for

[23:44:01] basically making the gummy skip mod and all the other mods

[23:44:03] that make practicing and running this game a lot more accessible.

[23:44:06] And if you want to watch more Kingdom Hearts content,

[23:44:09] I do a lot of it on twitch.tv slash m10.

[23:44:12] So ending right here. And...time!

[23:44:14] Wooo!

[23:44:18] I'm really happy with that. It was a good run.

[23:44:22] Yeah, very good. I'm really happy with that. It was a good run.

[23:44:24] Yeah, very good.

[23:44:25] I'm glad to be able to show it off.

[23:44:26] Thank you so much for having me in and I'll hand it over.

[23:44:30] See y'all next time!

[23:44:31] See ya! Oh my goodness, what an honor to be here with you all through that last run.

[23:44:44] Kingdom Hearts as a series,

[23:44:46] it's so dear to my heart

[23:44:47] and it was awesome seeing

[23:44:48] Ninten absolutely smash

[23:44:50] through it

[23:44:51] and such an amazing couch

[23:44:53] as well.

[23:44:54] Unfortunately,

[23:44:55] that's the end of my time here with summer games done quick 2024.

[23:45:00] we're going to a short break while they get ready for the next run little button out.. so so. so so so ¶¶ so We'll be right back. so so. so so so so so Hello everybody and welcome back to Summer Games Done Quick 2024.

[23:48:44] My name is Happyby3,

[23:48:46] And I will be your host for the next couple of runs here.

[23:48:51] It may be late in the evening

[23:48:53] here in Minnesota,

[23:48:54] but the vibes are fantastic

[23:48:56] because we have got

[23:48:57] some incredible runs coming up.

[23:49:00] We've got System Shock, we've got

[23:49:02] Tony Hawk, we've got

[23:49:04] Mr. Run and Jump, we've got Elder

[23:49:06] Scrolls. You could not ask for a better

[23:49:08] overnight block.

[23:49:10] We've got a couple donations coming in here.

[23:49:13] $25 from Edward that says, I think I have been watching GDQ for

[23:49:17] over a decade now! Thanks for the great work, especially

[23:49:21] the folks editing and uploading all the runs to YouTube

[23:49:24] afterwards on the official channel. There are so many unsung heroes at this

[23:49:28] event, and the folks who do the YouTube uploads are incredible getting those

[23:49:31] VODs up in just a couple of minutes for us.

[23:49:35] We've also got $25 from Ringkana that says,

[23:49:38] Good to see everyone back again in time to make my contribution!

[23:49:42] I wish everyone luck with the week, and thanks for running something to help

[23:49:45] people who need it. Thank you, Rincona

[23:49:47] for that generous donation to Doctors

[23:49:49] Without Borders

[23:49:50] Fantastic news y'all, with

[23:49:53] that we are ready to get our next run going so without any further ado, Blood Thunder take us away with System Shock! Hello everybody, my name is Club Thunder. You can call me BT for short.

[23:50:12] I've been around a little bit and most people know me for games like Bioshock but this time

[23:50:18] GDQ Committee said hey you run Bioshock enough

[23:50:21] Run another Shock game so here we are

[23:50:23] The System Shock remake which is the remake to the original System Shock

[23:50:26] Funny how that works,

[23:50:28] That came out in 1994 just about 30 years old

[23:50:31] Which is pretty crazy thing to think about

[23:50:33] That was originally made by Looking Glass Studios

[23:50:35] Shoutouts to them

[23:50:37] This was remade by Nightdive, shout out to them as well.

[23:50:38] I had a dev reach out and said they might be watching so if

[23:50:40] they are hello sorry for what I'm about to do.

[23:50:44] And this is a little bit of a special run for me just because

[23:50:46] this game's awesome.

[23:50:49] But this also happens to be not only my 25th GDQ run

[23:50:52] which is amazing to think about how far we've come

[23:50:55] but the GDQ committee was nice enough to schedule this run

[23:50:58] to be on my 31st birthday so thank you for that But GDQ committee was also nice enough to schedule this run

[23:50:59] to be on my 31st birthday, so thank you for that present.

[23:51:03] Let's go! Happy Birthday!

[23:51:06] Alfred, forgive everybody for not giving me a present

[23:51:09] if you just donate to GDQ because this is

[23:51:11] an immersive sim game. If you want to do four dollars and fifty one cents, get the

[23:51:16] little train going it'd be pretty cool. We're gonna get into this we have a lot

[23:51:19] to go through which is why I don't have a couch because i'm just going

[23:51:21] To be talking straight to you guys for about the next 35-40 minutes

[23:51:26] We'll have some time for donations um but yeah

[23:51:29] We're gonna set the difficulty all ones some of the stuff we're going to set the difficulty all 1s.

[23:51:31] Some of this stuff we are not even going to see honestly.

[23:51:33] This game is pretty cool you can customize it how you like

[23:51:35] if you want more combat or puzzles

[23:51:38] We're not gonna see puzzles just so you know

[23:51:40] Once we skip this cutscene

[23:51:41] The run will start

[23:51:42] So in three, two, one...

[23:51:45] Here we go.

[23:51:49] Okay, so we're gonna do a couple stuff,

[23:51:52] and then we're going to talk about the story

[23:51:53] and have some fun.

[23:51:54] So we're interacting with a whole bunch of stuff

[23:51:56] so this laptop becomes interactable with sooner

[23:52:00] And we wake up in the year 2072, we're going to be hacking into this computer.

[23:52:05] We are looking for sources on the Citadel station owned by the Trioptimum company.

[23:52:12] More importantly, we are looking for the Neuralink implant

[23:52:14] but some people may be on to us

[23:52:18] so they are going to come down and break in and take me up through their station

[23:52:22] which is what we kind of want and we're gonna be

[23:52:24] meeting a man named edward diego we're going to meet him in the cuts

[23:52:28] thing we're going to skip this one i'm going all this now

[23:52:30] um and he's going to offer us the implant that we're looking for

[23:52:34] when when once again I'm

[23:52:35] real quick going to show what we do to authorities and they show up like this

[23:52:42] We're gonna skip into the cutscene And, the deal Edward Diego gives us is

[23:52:46] hey we will give you this implant

[23:52:48] if you hack in our station's AI

[23:52:51] and remove its ethical constraints

[23:52:53] which sounds like a wonderful plan

[23:52:55] If you've heard of the character Shodan before that is the AI constraints, which sounds like a wonderful plan.

[23:52:56] If you've heard of the character Shodan before, that is

[23:52:58] AI controlling the spaceship we're about to wake up on six

[23:53:01] months after getting that implant,

[23:53:03] which is what's going on here and're gonna be actually playing the game. Here we go! We're gonna collect a whole bunch of stuff that

[23:53:13] we will talk about down the line, but we are at the bottom of the space station and How this runs is going to work, we will try

[23:53:18] make our way up each floor.

[23:53:23] Grab a couple of these things.

[23:53:25] Interrupting some animations by picking them

[23:53:27] up in order certain order.

[23:53:29] And we have our lead pipe!

[23:53:30] We can take out Alpha 5 from the Power Rangers,

[23:53:33] get him outta here...

[23:53:34] Like I said, we'll talk about all these little patches in just a moment

[23:53:36] but we need to put in our handy-andy 451 code you've ever seen this

[23:53:40] in gaming it is very popular it originated in system shock so final trivia factory there

[23:53:45] anyways this is the oh uh we're gonna check that body for some extra stuff.

[23:53:50] We do have a pretty large inventory, you are supposed to collect a lot of stuff

[23:53:54] there's a whole currency and recycling.

[23:53:56] We aren't going to do any of that we actually need very few items

[23:53:58] to beat this game so I'm just going to take these guys up, collect a little bit more

[23:54:03] and like a lot of old school

[23:54:05] games, this one has a lot of secret

[23:54:07] walls so we're just going to open up the panel

[23:54:09] get a frag grenade and then we Get two more med packs over here.

[23:54:13] One thing that didn't pick up is the display usually in the top

[23:54:17] Left shows your stamina or fatigue.

[23:54:20] If you are running too much or we swing our

[23:54:22] melee weapons, it's going to slow us down

[23:54:24] and you can see our health

[23:54:26] in the top right as well

[23:54:27] with the energy underneath it.

[23:54:30] That was a little scary.

[23:54:35] We do want to actually take a death here in a second but we don't want to die quite yet

[23:54:42] I'm gonna pick up our first gun.

[23:54:45] This is the spark Q beam, or spark beam and yeah we are about

[23:54:49] to start breaking games so the biggest thing that we have

[23:54:51] to break this game is do a save load in a position where

[23:54:53] we can't stand up.

[23:54:54] And when we load back in, it's going to force us to stand up getting us out of bounds

[23:54:58] and this part...and all out-of-bounds are gonna be pretty weird because

[23:55:02] all the collisions there not all the textures are.

[23:55:05] So we're going to look at the mini map in the bottom left and navigate

[23:55:09] We'll do a quick save, load some more textures

[23:55:13] And talk about what these are in just a little bit, but

[23:55:16] We'll talk about it now.

[23:55:22] People will talk about the next thing so...

[23:55:29] You need to shoot these computer banks through the ceiling and make sure they're all destroyed. Alright! We are going

[23:55:32] run out of bounds once again. We need to get back inbounds now which is

[23:55:35] much easier to do later on but we need to get back inbounds now, which is much easier to do later on.

[23:55:37] What we need to go activate is the respawn system that this game has

[23:55:43] If you've played Bioshock it's like the Vita Chamber

[23:55:45] Which Bioshock is like the Vita Chamber, which Bioshock is a crucial successor to this game.

[23:55:48] So this is a restoration bay where it was supposed

[23:55:52] be a restoration bay, which once Shodan had its ethical constraints removed

[23:55:56] and took control of the ship, turned it into a cyborg conversion.

[23:55:59] So if we die now, we become a cyborg. We're going to flip this switch which will turn it back

[23:56:06] It's always fun to see.

[23:56:08] Into a restoration bay, and so now we can use this any time

[23:56:10] we die when we're back here with all of our stuff

[23:56:12] as our way to get back in bounds.

[23:56:14] Later on, I'm going to be using these

[23:56:16] to cut out some backtracking

[23:56:18] because it becomes very handy.

[23:56:22] Now we can talk about the SparkBeamer.

[23:56:23] So you can see that it's glowing right now

[23:56:25] and has three different modes.

[23:56:27] So you can set up the low like that. Medium and overcharge. I think its actually high instead of medium

[23:56:33] But you can say a green little strip on the back of your gun

[23:56:36] Low will take a little bit off

[23:56:39] And do a little damage of that off and do a little bit damage, hide as more.

[23:56:41] And then overcharge will use remaining bits of the green bar

[23:56:45] and do appropriate damage based on that so it can do a lot of damage really quickly

[23:56:49] but it uses a ton of energy so we don't want to use

[23:56:52] it too much.

[23:56:56] Try not to die... activate another restoration base

[23:56:58] So the most recent one you've activated

[23:57:00] is the one that you will teleport back to. So the ones right there.

[23:57:03] And now we can start talking about all

[23:57:04] of the things that we picked up before.

[23:57:07] The three patches, we have

[23:57:08] stamina up which will give us about

[23:57:10] 70 seconds of infinite stamina,

[23:57:13] and a little bit of health back.

[23:57:14] I'm not sure why it gets health but it is kind of nice.

[23:57:16] We also have med packs,

[23:57:17] which are just kind of standard.

[23:57:18] You get one third of your health back

[23:57:21] over the course of like 20 seconds or so.

[23:57:24] We'll collect supplies, and the last thing we have is Berserk which is going to give you

[23:57:28] 100% damage increase for melee weapons as well as a 50% increased melee

[23:57:32] swing speed so it becomes really, really

[23:57:34] nice later on. Once again, we don't want

[23:57:36] to die here necessarily,

[23:57:38] but we don't want to use

[23:57:40] too many resources.

[23:57:43] And we're just collecting some key cards that are going to open up a ton of doors.

[23:57:48] This game is not necessarily an open world, but it does require you to backtrack a lot and open up different areas

[23:57:54] kind of in the way that a metroidvania would

[23:57:57] and we're gonna get a couple more frog grenades and an actual pistol

[23:58:01] just kind of nice mind if i sneak in here real quick?

[23:58:05] Go!

[23:58:06] Uh, I do not know when this needs to happen so I want to make sure we get it right away.

[23:58:09] We've got a hundred dollars from Kona Recon that says had to donate for one of the best

[23:58:14] games and remakes I've played in recent years.

[23:58:17] Recently streamed this remake alongside my mom, who was streaming the original.

[23:58:20] She's not able to make a donation, so this donation is on her behalf.

[23:58:24] Wanted to make the donation amount meaningful,

[23:58:26] so here's the rough number of saves from both of our playthroughs.

[23:58:30] Also I'll donate an additional $25 if the runner purchases the grenade on the executive level from the snack you draw.

[23:58:38] That's not going to happen unless

[23:58:41] they want to give me another

[23:58:42] hour or so on the game

[23:58:44] I don't think we can make that one happen

[23:58:46] We're going to run through here which is usually

[23:58:47] it has radiation in it and you're going to run through here, which is usually it's radiation

[23:58:49] and you're going to take a little bit of damage

[23:58:51] It's not too much, that's why we're just tanking it

[23:58:52] You're supposed to get what's known as the environmental protection pack

[23:58:55] Um

[23:58:56] We're just going to run around that guy

[23:58:58] So a little bit about We're just going to run around that guy.

[23:59:00] So a little bit about what's going on in the story, because we've definitely been touching on that...

[23:59:04] Shodan has taken over the ship and is now kind of considering itself

[23:59:08] a god and

[23:59:15] Wants to destroy earth surprise surprise it wants the shoot a laser drill down at the planet

[23:59:19] Our first quest here is to stop that laser actually destroy it by

[23:59:21] Closing the shields on the ship, when the laser fires, it blows itself up.

[23:59:23] And here in this little secret wall we're going to get a logic probe which is going

[23:59:26] skip one puzzle for us.

[23:59:28] We used to get a couple more but with some some route changes we only need the one.

[23:59:33] So you're going to be overcharging these laser turrets they are very deadly.

[23:59:36] Not too many enemies pose a big threat in this run which is nice

[23:59:40] The bosses can but we'll get to those in a

[23:59:41] little bit. These Rumbos are probably the scariest things

[23:59:44] they're very quick and will blow up and do a lot of damage. So

[23:59:48] I pick this up and plug it here and now we need to try

[23:59:51] to survive a little bit higher radiation

[23:59:54] than when we were just in before.

[23:59:57] And a couple of robots...

[24:00:01] Yeah, this guy's a little bit in the way.

[24:00:07] So elevators in this game are like these gravity shafts you can turn them on and off.

[24:00:13] There is an even biggerrant in this guy.

[24:00:16] So once again,

[24:00:17] we want to do a death warp so go back

[24:00:18] to that restoration bay that we just passed

[24:00:20] so we don't really need to worry about health

[24:00:22] but I do need to get this done
