One second on the AGDQ timer, but it was way less than that.

Wow I wasn't expecting much from SMK but this totally changed my mind on it

 

[Vire]

The frames.

I hate the Twitch chat.

Dude, you close that shit and you never look back. Even for something awesome like AGDQ the chat is a fucking cesspool.

Wow, the difference is so minimal. You can barely notice the 1 appearing in DK's screen first.

 

[Nose Master]

Cheers for sharing

So using this video:

Neo at 1'13'90, KVD is 1'21'00.

Neo finished at 1'13'91. This means Neo finished when KVD's timer was 1'21'01 when Neo finished.

KVD finished at 1'12'14.

So the difference was just 0'00'13. Incredible.

Also - just noticed the clock was a little slow to stop. Notice on the last image KVD has finished and the timer is at 32:15. So, if you are just looking at minutes/seconds, it is technically a dead heat.

 

[Tukker]

This race is going to be so sweet.

Let's hope it doesnt lag out.

 

[Omnicent]

SM64 120 star race with spike on the mike. Dis gonna be a good way for me to end the night.

 

[Vire]

I can't believe how many people are there this year.

[Spirited]

Just curious, whatever happened to Siglemic?

GDQ Drama stuff.

EDIT: Was the last thing I heard.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Just curious, whatever happened to Siglemic?

He quit seriously running sm64 after Puncayshun beat his WR now i mostly see him stream Runescape and other games.

 

[Omnicent]

hold on to your butts, it's time

 

[dmr87]

Look at that room

 

[Farsi]

Its madiooo tiem

 

[jett]

I can't believe how many people are there this year.

For reference.. A few years ago:

It's ridiculous how huge it has become. The first AGDQ I watched was on 2011, still remember it ended on FF4. I kinda miss how cozy it was.

 

[Omnicent]

rip lol

 

[TronLight]

Race over already?

Spoiler

[dmr87]

GG

 

[Zekes!]

Time for the Crash Bandicoot killer 😉

 

[djplaeskool]

Damn Lakitu skip lol

 

[barneystuta83]

I am just reading up on the history, and damn.

AGDQ raised for respective charities:

2011 - $53k
2012 - $149k (180% increase on previous year)
2013 - $448k (200% increase on previous year)
2014 - $1.03m (130% increase on previous year)
2015 - $1.58m (53% increase on previous year, almost 3000% increase on 2011)

Incredible effort from the organisers, the players, and everyone that donates.
