Speedrunners are cheap, go through a lot of controllers and get used to certain things.
Makes sense they'd not want to keep buying 60 dollar controllers all the time.

This has been an incredibly entertaining run so far. Probably the best.
More like the button got him

Momentum for this run has been completely restored.
To be fair, there could well be a logic to that idea, given how much abuse a speedrunner applies to a game. I remember in my tech support job we'd get these really cheap printers for a car repair shop because the sheer amount of dust and crap floating in the air would kill any printer no matter how high-end in no time, so they'd just replace the printer itself every few months for like $150.
Anyone that hasn't seen Romscout play SOTN before, the dude is a DESTROYER of pads. There should be a youtube video of him out there doing this backdashing and shield-canceling movement. It's incredibly button intensive and you are mashing that combo constantly. So it isn't surprisng to me that he'd randomly have pads die on him especially with lots of practice in preparation for the marathon and such.

I'm not going to lie, it's absurdly impressive he got this skip even with them telling him he was late or early. That shit is frame perfect.

Holy damn this is impressive.

Yeah a pixel perfect/frame perfect skip on a blindfold run? Dayum son.

This might be one of the most interesting runs I've seen so far. Him getting stuck by the shop and trying to find a way out was entertaining to watch.

This shit is bananas.

Yep, and also sort of served as an accidental "No, he really is playing this shit blindfolded" reminder.
I've seen him do this run on his twitch channel before, so I'm a bit less mindblown than most, but it's still a really cool run to see even after the first time.

Wish the commentator was a little more knowledgable... Half of the fun of the runs is getting a good technical explaination for what's going on... This whole "I'm not sure why, but if you do this, the game kind of does this." isn't super insightful.

Nearly every blind run is super impressive. About the only game I can do is Way of the Samurai's bad ending where you leave town.

I think only the Tetris block and Mario Maker will be really damn good but I don't see a regular run topping this one.

So it's down for everyone then?
I've been watching on my PS4 and got minor hiccups here and there on the twitch app.

yeah stream is completely down. Sigh... I was using this to help me forget the fact that I have no AC right now... I feel the heat again.

haha ouch.. you and me both, AC broke this past weekend.
Got my earbuds in to actually hear the stream and cut out all the noise from my fans.

Stream is back up with a Romscout interview.
Next is Freedom Planet. Freedom Planet was what I was looking forward to. I just completed the game yesterday, and started a Milla run that evening, and she's a ton of fun to play the game with. Probably the best animations in the game. Looking forward to seeing this character stomp the game.

Definitely looking forward to romscout doing glitchless blindfolded.

This looks like an interesting game.

so this is the game from where those twitch emotes come from
Freedom Planet is basically a legit Sonic successor, but better in every way. Love this game.

You should play it as a Sonic game.... but you should ignore the story mode... Thankfully they have a 'classic' mode that skips the story elements. Dear God is the story bad.

This guy loves talking over the dev
