Oh dear... This really wasn't planned out too well. :\ Now the stream is down.
Of course but isn't viewing the estimates quite uninteresting in comparison though? A few WR:s have occurred in GDQ history but it is hard to understand when it is even close atm. They could just display current WR quick before a run even.

I've been saying for ages that they need to switch to a 2 stage system so that the players for the next game can get setup while the current game is running and these set-up times can be pretty much eliminated all together.

2 hours of setup for maybe 30 minutes of actual gameplay.
Unbelievably unfair to the runners that have to go on after this that are just waiting around.

Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe he's a sorcerer.

It'd put too much pressure on the players and give the audiences unrealistic expectations, so it's better if they don't.
It's GDQ. The schedule had already drifted off course by several hours before this game happened.

i'm in awe
And so the streak of nobody being able to beat Shirase at a GDQ continues. Shit's hard.
The run that KevinDDR is referring to is absolutely nuts. This is actually a lot harder than it looks.
A player at Kevin's level isn't going to have too much trouble hitting level 1000.

This isn't really fair. Shirase's difficulty ramps up exponentially after 1000; the speed difference between 1000 and 1100 is not insignificant and getting from 1200-1300 is often described as being more difficult than getting from 1 to 1200.

How old is KevnDDR?
This is the shirase no hold run:

Note that this player, Kan, came to a GDQ a few years ago. He ran Shirase and also failed to complete it.
Shirase is really, really hard.

As much as I like watching the insanity that is Tetris, I'm beginning to feel the same way. It's how I felt with the TAS block as well and I'm glad it's getting a break this year.

I want to cry watching this. My brain... ;~;. This looks impossible.
I'm disappointed that he didn't get the invisible roll, but holy shit. That 800-899 split was ridiculous.
The game's win conditions are basically designed to be as close to impossible as they can be without... actually being impossible. The number of players who have made any serious headway into these modes is very few. It took me about six months of playing TGM 3 to be able to survive more than 30 seconds of Shirase, for example.

This... looks like the hardest game ever.

They can't stop until somebody beats Shirase.
TGM 3 probably is the hardest game ever. It's been beaten by exactly six people despite being a relatively vanilla variation on one of the most popular games ever made. It also only takes about five minutes to beat.

It brings in views and money so there's no way they're gonna retire it.

...And replace it with shmups!
Totally. It's such a no brainer.
