I've never heard the JP voices for this game, did they say why they're using them? I assume it saves time somehow?

Shorter dialog to save some time.

 

[Nielm]

Damn, sucks that it didn't give the checkpoint.

 

[SmackAttack]

The BR sound is eternal

It really is. Love Bungie era Halo sound design.

Often the JP version of games are used for this reason.

 

[ebullientprism]

Holy crap this H2 run is pretty bananas.

 

[robotrock]

casual halo fan here


halo 2's campaign is the one i had the most fun with

 

[TheChits]

This halo run is great so far

 

[Chirotera]

This halo run is great so far

The calling out of Checkpoint! is the same thing my friend and I did in our playthrough. They were so, brutal... haha. Loving this run.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This Halo 2 run is pretty good so far.

 

[ebullientprism]

CHECKPOINT!

LOL.

 

[Death Metalist]

CHECKPOINT!

LOL.

One of my favorite things about this run. I'm glad this became a thing.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

So weird seeing these glitches that people I used to play with pioneered way back in the day.

Didn't know shenanigans did Halo runs too.

Great run so far!

 

[ebullientprism]

Is he BXR'ing to reload?

Dirty cheater.

 

[N° 2048]

CoolCat CHECKPOINT GET CoolCat

 

[SmackAttack]

CHECKPOINT

 

[Alpha_eX]

Are they going to yell checkpoint for the whole run? Enjoying it so far apart from that every few minutes!

 

[nubbe]

I'm not a speedrunner... But I also tried to run past everything as fast as possible the first time

 

[Diablohead]

Is he BXR'ing to reload?

Dirty cheater.

it's ok it's singleplayer! heh

 

[Neptonic]

DAT GHOST JUMP WAS SLICK

 

[SmackAttack]

Man there's some good looking runs coming up and a strong start in the morning. Do I really want to wake up at 8 in the morning for L4D? Yes. Yes I do.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I see that Halo Luck is making a comeback.

 

[Sub_Level]

This is the most fun run so far.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

That sword glitch is so OP.

 

[Rezbit]

This run is fantastic.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

this run ending with a trio of Sgt. Johnsons spamming the fuck out of this annoying H2 Legendary boss is just the best

 

[Death Metalist]

This fucking run.

 

[Professor Beef]

 

[BrightLightLava]

That was so great.

I love how people can figure stuff like that out.

 

[Sub_Level]

^

 

[Diablohead]

First full legendary speedrun I have sat and watched, entertaining for sure.

 

[Death Metalist]

 

[BY2K]

Batman Beyond suit HYPE

 

[Ferrio]

Couch guy nodding off.

 

[Dio Brando]

maybe the game is "simple" enough speedrun wise that more commentators arent necessary, but it feels like he cant quite doing while playing, and more wow moments get lost, without others pointing it out.

 

[Sober]

Damn the zip.

Also yeah the batarang takedown is OP as fuck but it's even more OP in origins when you can combo it when the boosted gel.

 

[Ferrio]

Damn that dinosaur skip. How do people find those skips like that?

 

[robotrock]

dude just referenced the dubbed GI Joe youtube clips lol

he's alright with me

 

[Rezbit]

Agree, this is actually a really cool run but his couch is giving him bupkis! Even when he's clearly sick. They should be getting some claps started at least.

 

[Auctopus]

I love runs like this. Chill runner who's not trying to do silly jokes or keep telling you how "shit and broken" the game they're playing is. He's clearly explaining what he's doing and doing some really tricky looking skips. Audience seems really attentive but they could give him a hand now and then.

yep. The Arkham series is probably one of my favorites in gaming, and some of the stuff he's doing is absolutely insane to me, but the lack of interaction is not helping at all.

that's a valid pov too. do wish the couch interacted a bit more.

EDIT: shame he doesnt like Origins. while combat timing is totally different, i love the rest of it.

 

[jediyoshi]

This runner knows the secret truth about Origins

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Take a drink when the runner says "But Batman doesn't kill" .

 

[superNESjoe]

This runner knows the secret truth about Origins

No, the loud common opinion is Origins sucks. The secret truth is that it's excellent. Same with Arkham Knight. They're all great.

 

[Auctopus]

Weird that he never played Arkham Knight. Makes you wonder does he play this game purely because he thinks the strats are fun?

 

[Bsigg12]

This Batman run has been super impressive.

 

[superNESjoe]

Probably? He doesn't seem to have any passion or real interest in what he's doing. The technical aspect of the run is pretty cool, but he's a complete bore. Maybe it's just because he's sick.

 

[Ferrio]

Well he has jokes atleast.

 

[Dio Brando]

well, he does talk about a lot of batman related stuff, so it could just be the case of him focusing too much on Arkham City.
or it could just be that he doesnt have the specs necessary to run it. who knows, honestly.

Agree. I wish the crowd was reacting, like at all.

like, really. he just did an incredible skip, and total silence, even with him pointing it out. ffs crowd.

 

[pirateluigi]

It's a dry humor. I think he's pretty funny.

Crowd would help though.
