Christ, they broke it after all that?

Aaahahahaha

 

[jokkir]

More stairs!!

 

[KarmaCow]

If you're going to have a run this boring, you better get it right the first time instead of screwing around.

Yea fair enough. All that build up for nothing. :/

 

[Brinbe]

fantastic... I could have run that shit.

 

[jett]

Well that was a complete and utter failure.

 

[Grinchy]

What a horrible idea.

I guess I will tune back in in 4 hours when the Marios start.

 

[Sesha]

Thanks for playing.

 

[ratcliffja]

Seriously. If you have a run that's dependent on getting the correct number of stair climbs, you should have a consistent way of counting.

 

[KScorp]

Well... at least it was only 12 minutes. I guess.

 

[pirateluigi]

Well that sure was a thing. I don't think it would have been worth it even if it worked.

 

[Alvarez]

As a big FF1 fan, my secondhand embarrassment is real right now.

I think the worst part is not that the stairs method is so boring, but that actually speedrunning the game is an incredibly fun and entertaining endeavor because there's so much RNG involved. Everyone would have loved watching a full speedrun of the game (which goes around 2-3 hours).

 

[superNESjoe]

Something tells me we won't be seeing that run again at a GDQ.

 

[cyba89]

Well... at least it was only 12 minutes. I guess.

Felt longer than Diablo 1+2 combined.

 

[TUSR]

he climbed 35,000 stairs to replace the viewers they lose

 

[HardRojo]

I know the point is to finish the game as quickly as possible but I don't see the point of showing something that requires nothing but basic skill and A LOT of repetition. That was really boring.

 

[Danthrax]

that was the worst. thank goodness they stopped him from trying a third time.

 

[MonorailCat]

Why is someone wearing chair-camoflage-full-body-wear on camera?

 

[Murugo]

If there's a bonus stream, it should be just stairs.

 

[Kjellson]

What happened? Sounds like something embarrassing so I'm too scared to watch.

Yeah... I was looking forward to the run when I didn't realize it was credits warp. I'm both disappointed and embarrassed right now, especially since it was a donation incentive.

We probably won't see actual FF1 runs at GDQ now because of this. :/

 

[KevinCow]

Well that was disappointing.

I don't know what Buster is, but I'm looking forward to the Mega Man Classic block! I've never seen MM10 speedrun before.

 

[jokkir]

If anyone is curious, here's the stair thing completed

the stairs conquered.

 

[KarmaCow]

They were trying to show off a FF1 credits warp that required climbing up and down stairs for about 3 minutes to setup, but ended up fucking up twice.

This is what would have happened if it didn't crash btw.

It had a 8min estimate, I don't think anyone should have expected anything remotely similar to a normal run.

A jist of it

So all you have to do is to walk up and down some stairs a bunch of times and then you beat the game? Sounds like a fun run.

And how do you fuck it up if that is all you need to do? Lol.

She's playing a 3DS...

 

[Arkos]

Why does this have Goldeneye Dam music lol?

Also, was the Halo 4 run any good? Like tricks/sequence break or insane strats, or was it just somebody who's really good at Halo 4.

Like a lot of these warps, it involves first filling the buffer (climbing the stairs) so you can start overwriting code through precise inputs.

 

[jett]

What an awful glitch, even when successful lol.

 

[Brinbe]

needs more stairs

 

[jblank83]

Never heard of this game. It actually looks alright.

She's playing a 3DS...

I can see.

 

[MonorailCat]

Looks interesting, but I really think the game lacks stairs to make it great.

Wait, Secret of Mana was 1P2C? Damn, good thing there's a VOD that I can watch now, lol.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

This looks pretty cool... where can I even get it?

 

[Kjellson]

I see.

Even if he did succeed it's still an awful idea for an event like this.

 

[Arkos]

Rockman and Mega Man!! w00t

 

[Bane]

I thought Buster was going to be a Megaman derivative given its placement on the schedule.

Sounds like FF was a disaster.

 

[KevinCow]

I see.

Even if he did succeed it's still an awful idea for an event like this.

I don't see how it's any worse than the Mario World or OoT glitch warps.

 

[TUSR]

SoBayed WHERE ARE YOU NOW ONODERA FANSHITS SoBayed YOU THINK SHE IS THE PROMISED GIRL HUH SoBayed RAKU IS BANG ING CHITOGE NOW SoBayed

 

[entremet]

What happened lol?

Someone bombed their run?

 

[KarmaCow]

What happened lol?

Someone bombed their run?

The FF1 run was about 12 minutes of climbing stairs with no real payoff.

 

[superNESjoe]

I don't see how it's any worse than the Mario World or OoT glitch warps.

While I generally agree with you, it's worth stating that there is a major difference between those runs. The OOT and Mario World runs have constant movement and interesting things happening that go into their credit warp. This run was about as repetitive and uninteresting (as far as the actual execution) as you can get.

The end result may be the same, but the meat of the other runs were way more fun to watch.
