Awesome Games Done Quick 2016: January 3rd - 10th.

You guys haven't played SP? You can finish it all in an hour.
Well I'm seeing the EST for this run at an hour as a speed run so I have to imagine your first time through it's a tad longer. I've got through roughly half of it and it took me a good bit longer than an hour.
 
Speedrun estimate is an hour, so I'm guessing it's a little longer than that :p

This run is also showing how good the motion controls are if you've adjusted to them. Lots of quick, small aiming adjustments.
i taught he wasn't using motion controls because of the minimal hand movements he's making. The sensitivity most be adjusted really high. i wonder in what setting he has it.

i don't remeber but can you even play single player withouth motion aiming?
 
Damn this event has gotten big. Look at the crowd there- you would think there was a graduation going on. I remember when it was just 10 people in a small room.

I don't think it's a matter of having the sensitivity particularly high - if you record anyone playing with them on then I think you'd see the same level of very subtle motions (well, for anyone that was used to them at least). Splatoon is a game that you really want to use the stick for big motions and the motion controls for subtle ones, which is a bit like how I often play space shooters on PC (as I don't have stick): Keyboard keys for big movements, mouse for aiming adjustments.
 
Man, I feel like I was purified by a shrine maiden.

Man, I only caught the end of that Splatoon speedrun but it was super epic. That last level avd bossfigyr were incredible to watch an expert soar through!!
 
Production is really good this year, love the motion graphics and donation ticker going up in real time.

Higher numbersssss!
 
Actually avoided watching most of the Splatoon run as I want to encounter it all myself first then watch it afterwards, good to hear the consensus was that it was a great run.
 
Remember the first speedrun marathon I saw was Kings of Poverty with Funkdoc and Spooky... the community sure has evolved since.

I'm not too hyped for AGDQ this year but will watch some of the races and the Megaman blocks.
 
Good first run, no deaths and got all the major tricks first try. Tonesbalones handled the commentary pretty well too making up for the dead couch.

It's like 4-5 hours on your first playthrough.

You can play the single player with dual stick. But the game always defaults to motion controls meaning the runner would have to take time to specifically switch to dual stick if he wanted to use them. Gyro is probably faster by a significant margin (for speedrunning standards) anyway.
