    I think sunshine is cool and fun but a 3 and a half hour speed run is not

    It was a 120 shine run though. Any% is less than half that time. I still not a big fan of the game *as a spectator of a speed running title* because Mario 64 is sitting right there man, but AverageTrey is a phenomenal runner and its still super impressive.

    Any% kingdom hearts 2 world record is 4 hours 3 minutes.

    100% is like 16 fucking hours.

    Neither of this feel like "speedruns"

    Oh man, Goldeneye, the nostalgia, I played way too much of this with friends in the day

    Does make me miss multiplayer having everyone in same room though.

    I remember in grade 11 we all did mushrooms and played 4 player goldeneye, there's pictures of us like somersaulting over each other and dive rolling around, all while 100% fixated on the screen.

    100% runs for 3D platformers are more often than not boring as fuck because you can't abuse a bunch of the glitches in the game. Like Mario 64 Any% is hilarious because it abuses shit like the endless stairway, but 100% doesn't really need to do that.

    Looking forward to the day someone makes the mistake of putting a DK64 100% run on the schedule, although I'd be surprised if anyone actually runs that.

    That would be an after event run. Like, the Thursday two weeks after AGDQ ends. Nothing else is scheduled for that day. No audience remains. Just a man, alone with his own personal demons. Fighting. Losing. Crying.

    I've been playing Kirby and the Amazing Mirror recently and I'm wondering if anyone's done a co-op run of that. Unless there's some detail I'm not aware of, everyone could split up and do different bosses.

    The required setup would be slightly less crazy than what is used for multiplayer Four Swords Adventures.

    EDIT: Turns out it was in AGDQ 2012

    I'm glad they're putting the 2+ hour shit in the wee hours of the morning.

    Granted, the last days of the marathon are kinda full of long runs, but I do not want to watch four hours of Kingdom Hearts 2.
    I kind of want to watch the KH2 run in case it shows me a way to make the intro sequence not be four hours long
    I'd laugh if the runner just switched to Resident Evil 4.

    the most impressive thing about multi-hour speedruns is the speedrunner's own endurance

    but i don't want to watch a dude endure for three hours

    Annnd he just mentioned a FF9 speedrun where there's a boss fight "nine hours in" that might wipe you and there's nothing you can do about it

    and when you're talking about a speedrun and using words like "nine hours", maybe take a step back.

    taking steps back is just gonna make the run longer

    when doing the final escape in metroid you can go out of your way to set free some alien animal looking things that are trapped in cages

    if you do then they fly off before the planet explodes

    or thats how somebody on the stream explained it yesterday

    Yeah it's just a thing that's become tradition because Metroid games have always been built for speedrunning, so it's pretty much always been in these marathons.

    don't get too happy, they were only down for a minute.


    Anyway the best and last runs are coming up: the Super Metroid race, and Runnerguy's blindfolded Ocarina of Time child dungeons, and the 100% Ocarina of Time run. Super looking forward to the blindfolded run, that shit is hilarious to watch him practicing.

    it is this little diversion you take in the escape sequence before the end, if you shoot the wall there is a tiny second pixel that escapes the explosion if you don't then there isn't that other pixel escape

    thus the animals die
