Goddamn, the amount of work Blindfolded SotN must have needed. This is amazing.

Indeed, it is amazing.

The Super Meat Boy run last night was a scene to behold. I remember giving up at the start of world 3 because of how the difficulty jumps and watching platforming expert Raocow die thousands of times and struggle stage after stage. This kid blew through 170 or so levels with maybe 20 deaths altogether.
Also that game is super frustrating. The worst the runner had to say was basically "aw, nuts." What are these people?!

People who practice the game lot. Literally anyone can pick it up and practice to this point, they're all regular people

With enough grinding, I was able to eventually get all the achievements for Super Meat Boy.

Would never try to learn the speedruns for it though because that requires a much higher consistency than just getting through the chapters once without death.

This Jak and Daxter run is hilarious. The crowd is basically just trolling Bonesaw.

that run will go down as one of the GDQ greats next to stuff such as Metal Wolf Chaos.

Unfortunately I missed the back end of the J+D run since I had to go to work.

It was amusing what I saw however.

More needs to be said of the Sonic '06 run; which wouldn't have been that far off World Record... if for some random reason when going on a set of springs in the final level the game didn't softlock, leaving Sonic eternally spinning stationary in the air between springs. This took a little while to register as a softlock and then needed a restart mission button costing a fair bit of time.

'Every time you play Sonic '06 you see something new' - The runner.

As someone who's actually played Sonic '06 I agree.

After a sleepless night watching yesterday's classic FPS segment (DOOOOOOOOOM), here comes another sleepless night with the magnificent Bethesda block coming up in a short while. It's my first time watching these events live and it's fun.

I encourage everybody to watch the Trauma Center run later tonight, IrisJoker is an awesome guy and it's probably the most fitting run ever for the marathon. It's also a cool run, including some absolutely ridiculous things (I'm cheering for a bandage kill)

That Super Metroid race.

More like "that one time only Behemoth walked away from that race." Sheesh, they can save as many frames as they want but it doesn't mean much if they can't save themselves. :V Maybe next time Safety Saves should be mandatory.

Also, over 1.22 million raised as of the end of SM RPG, holy crap!

Silent Harmony · « **Reply #56 on:** July 10, 2016, 06:35:33 AM »

To me part of what makes the current Super Metroid Any% races so exciting is that understanding that the race can end at any time, especially with this new route (the old route is still around for people who aren't in the 50:00 range and is safer). It's the penultimate game and arguably the biggest game of every GDQ. Also the runners can allow saves if they so choose but they agreed not to (and to also not get any safety energy tanks). If they say "no" then you can argue that they can go with "who got farther faster" as a tiebreaker.

Also official new SGDQ record was reached right before the Smithy fight, meaning we get SM64 race. It's hard to believe watching SGDQ for the first time in 2013 that we'd get to the point where we'd increase the donation total by around 5x in 3 years (it was ~$250k that year).

AGDQ 2014 was ridiculously popular and that's when the entire speedrunning community pretty much went mainstream

Man, I remember when I first saw a GDQ and it was just in some dude's house.
