that's part of why it's always such a hype race

They said in introductions that both Oats and Zoast had a personal PB in the 42s.
Yeah but the idea of nobody making it put this race on another level for me.

I love seeing the Baby Skip done so well. I remember when it was first shown and people were flipping out.

Super Metroid remains the best. Each one of those deaths hurt to watch. Some real tense moments through that race.
Such a great event this year... like every year.

Omg I want this so bad.
It's a very technical and hard speedrun and also an awesome game.
I don't really care for Metroid games so I'm pretty biased. Most speedrun are pretty technical, though. It was ok, but I think I liked Tetris the most so far.
it's doable but yeah i think donations will slow down throughout SMRPG
Never underestimate the final push.

I love SMRPG like crazy but I usually prefer speedruns of shorter games like platformers or action games.

Such a good game to end on. Love SMRPG.
You really appreciate it if you've played Super Metroid yourself. It has insane amounts of sequence breaking without any silly glitches, pure skill. Seriously, if you ever play the game you'll see how hard doing wall jumps is and these guys do it insanely fast. It's really impressive.
Also, the death factor (as seen today) makes it really tense.
yeah, i think the fact it's such a tight speed run that doesn't rely on crazy glitches like other speedruns do really adds to the enjoyment of watching it.
not to disparage speedruns that do use glitches, of course, but it's nice to see games that are less reliant on it while still being very exciting and tense to watch

Super Metroid is brutal.
The new any% route the runners were using takes an already unforgiving category and raises the stakes significantly in just about every way. At the highest level of play there's no real room for error. Slip up and you die. You really have to know exactly how to control Samus, and there is a lot more nuance to movement than most people probably realize.
It's a beautiful speed game.

Hope so. Not sure who's running it this year, but the race was one of the better things I'd watched last year.

Yup. Braid, Splinter Cell: Blacklist co-op, just to name a few.
