[The Bankslammer]

A moment's struggle, longer than eternity

 

[Vorpal]

I'm glad AGDQ is showing this game off. In general I feel that a lot of speedrunners would be interested in arcade game mastery but you don't really see signs of that in the streams. Maybe it's because arcade games tend to be way more challenging and generally "locked down" where speedruns are often more bug exhibitions? I don't know, I don't follow speedrunning very closely.

There was a small block of arcade games in the schedule earlier today (Violent Storm, Battletoads, Alien vs Predator) and now this, so there's some interest. Might be an issue with ease of access, though, since most runners seem to play on native hardware rather than emulation, especially during an event.

 

[Revven]

That was bloody nuts oh my god.

TGM really does sour you on other versions of Tetris.

Purists don't like the infinite spin.

 

[RepairmanJack]

I just really don't like this guy. This whole block would have been so much better without him repeating everyone and talking over everyone.

 

[Frecklestein]

lol the resident evil impression.

He's absolutely right though; the skill ceiling in TGM's rules is waaaaaay higher than guideline rules (for single player, anyway).

 

[Frecklestein]

This is some God tier Tetris playing.

[Bsigg12]

This is absolutely amazing.

 

[Scher]

Playing "intentionally slowly" right now. He needs to up his game!

 

[Tain]

Arcade games don't lend themselves to speedrunning simply to the difficulty of obtaining original hardware to allow yourself to practice enough. Emulation is useful for practice, but pretty much never considered for an official WR.

Aaaah yeah, I did forget about the real hardware factor. Understandable, but a shame.

 

[Randam]

he is going slow right now, guys.
slow.

[Proxy]

[7DollarHagane]

is there any reason twitch would be buffering after 30 seconds on mobile quality but youtube loads full quality videos instantly? Not simultaneously obviously.
