is he playing this on emulator or snes via repro cart? I've always wanted to play kaizo to completion.

Most likely a flash cart. Most people usually go with sd2snes.

 

[Wallach]

I'm really excited for the Fire Emblem strats

I'm excited there will be a solid block for me to sleep through.

 

[Blackquill]

Ah, a bid war means one of these game will be played, not both, makes sense.

Hope it's Radiant Dawn.

Thanks I'll probably watch it tomorrow since I want to watch NSMB and Fire Emblem tonight

 

[demidar]

At three hours I'm skeptical lol

I'm impressed they only allocated 30 minutes for the kaizo run though.

It's 3 hours? Damn, not sure if I want to sit through that.

 

[Tendo]

Who were the guy and gal on the couch when dram was playing? They were great commentary along with dram.

 

[theprodigy]

That was Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones last year where the RNG just did not want to cooperate, rolling implausible low stats for the player characters.

Hopefully, Fire Emblem will be redeemed this year. Wonder which one it will be. I hope it's Path of Radiance, but Radiant Dawn would be nice, too.

that was because the FE8 runner didn't want to RNG abuse because *reasons*

luckily Radiant Dawn is pretty reliable even without RNG abuse

Spoiler

inb4 the Path of Radiance transfer is botched

Play a game through it!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Do the Gamecube games have any interesting quirks or is it just following a plan and hoping for good RNG? I know the GBA games have some weird exploits.

I don't watch FE speedruns, but I'm assuming it abuses Bonus EXP to force good level ups

 

[RagnarokX]

"Casual game"

Sure, bud.

 

[demidar]

Play a game through it!

That's the plan, there's a Great Jaggi with my name on it.

I'll probably keep it in the background though, I enjoy the commentary. At least I hope there's a lot of commentary since there's a lot of mechanics abuse and RNG manipulation in play.

I'm surprised he made it! That's what got me thinking about aborted runs

 

[Blizzard]

I forgot how annoying the little wiimote reminder thing over Mario's head is in this version.

 

[UnderWaterTree]

Propeller is pretty broken in some levels

 

[Shouta]

Do people want to see Path of Radiance over Radiant Dawn?

 

[Corronchilejano]

After the glitchfests before it, this run seems so... normal.

 

[demidar]

Do people want to see Path of Radiance over Radiant Dawn?

I haven't seen either so probably the more broken one?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Do people want to see Path of Radiance over Radiant Dawn?

I honestly don't know enough about the runs to prefer one over the other. I think RD is longer so I kind of want to see that.

But I prefer to see the more interesting run.

 

[theprodigy]

the runner and the commentators all prefer RD

why do you ask though?

Tellius Fire Emblem are less RNG based than the GBA game IMO Since there are more options and possibilities. You also get more reliable characters in both games

 

[JINYX]

Honestly think this should have been at the start of mario block. After the last few mario runs this run is a bit unhype imo.

 

[dmr87]

RD is the fast one apperently, never seen the game ran before.

 

[Manus]

These guys look so bored running this game haha.

Reasons. >_>

hey man, what if the game trolls and decides to give Jill a string of +HP and/or +luck levels only

also that's your 300th post, aren't you supposed to be a member now

 

[Tommy DJ]

RD is the more interesting speedrun. Outside the first few chapters where you need

Spoiler

Edward

to carry you, there isn't a lot that is actually run ending from the top of my head.

I'm making the assumption that the Grim isn't a scrub who does a Fire Emblem game with close to zero preparation.

 

[Blackquill]

What already 300 posts ? Didn't even know that we become a member this way lol

Meanwhile, New Super Mario Bros Speedrun is incredibly boring, not because of the speedrunner but the game itself :/

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Awakening should also be a doable speedrunning game, but I think it'd be so easy that it's not interesting anymore(assuming casual/easy).

Pretty sure your account needs to be at least 3 months old as well.

 

[Dlent]

Reasons. >_>

Since this is FE we're talking about I can only assume your preference is based on the waifu selection in the games.

[Delio]

So ready for the Fire emblem run! I'm staying up just to watch that I SO wish I could donate for the FE bundle tho :/

 

[JINYX]

Isn't RD longer? Looking at SDA PoR has a 2.5hr record whereas RD has a WR of 3:13 and it's segmented.

 

[Metroidvania]

In both Tellius games (moreso Radiant Dawn), you get some pretty absurd pre-promotes, plus there's the bonus xp.

Awakening should also be a doable speedrunning game, but I think it'd be so easy that it's not interesting anymore(assuming casual/easy).

Pretty sure your account needs to be at least 3 months old as well.

With Awakening, a proper Avatar/Chrom pairing can solo(duo) pretty much the entire game barring lunatic.

don't worry, he runs both games well

Awakening WR is ~40 minutes, but it's just "get Robin Galeforce ASAP and solo" so it's super boring

well if that's the case RD wins by default due to having all of PoR's characters unless you just hate Micaiah that much or something

Isn't RD longer? Looking at SDA PoR has a 2.5hr record whereas RD has a WR of 3:13 and it's segmented.

RD is longer by ~30 minutes (SDA is ancient dude) but moves at a significantly faster pace, those PoR map animations are just super slow

 

[matm666]

I wonder if in 20 years people will find glitches that make this game more interesting to speed run.

 

[Delio]

I recently watched a run of Awakening that did just that. Only seemed to use a Dark Knight Avatar at the end.

 

[Corronchilejano]

"Can't do anything fun cause it's dangerous."

This run is like getting off a rollercoaster and going straight into Ned Flanders' house.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Not the runners fault this game is devoid of personality or speed

 

[Nanashrew]

They should have went with Luigi U for the speed.

 

[KarmaCow]

Not the runners fault this game is devoid of personality or speed

Yea I was expecting more from the game but I guess that's more from multiplayer only stuff.

 

[Blackquill]

Awakening speedrun will be fast yet incredibly boring. No strategy involved and a lot of black screen (to skip cutscenes and enemy phase).

Besides, any of you here can do a speedrun of this game, it's so easy. It can be a little bit more interesting on lunatic mode but still, 80% of the game consist of the Avatar destroying everything.

It's not the runners fault things were so random in MK Wii, and yet...

can confirm, got sub 1:05 my first attempt and I'm pretty sure I severely fucked up the strategy

Spoiler

better than FE11 though aka "Marth's morning jog through Archanea"

 

[LyleLanley]

The last few runs were fun stuff, this not so much.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

These guys look so bored running this game haha.

The propeller suit is about as exciting as moldy bread.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

They should space out these mario games. It gets so boring.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

what can I expect of a Fire Emblem speedrun? glitches? strategy?

 

[RecursiveFault]

A co-op run sounds like it would have been a bit more interesting. Ah well.

Don't remind me of the lifeless husk of a game that was Shadow Dragon.

I made a choice back then between buying Shadow Dragon or Chrono Trigger DS, I chose wrong.

 

[Codeblue]

Excited for Radiant Dawn. It's been years since I've played it.
