Yeah! BotW incentive met!
I'll wait to watch the run until I've started... and finished... BotW. But I'm sure that's a run many, many people want to see
Yeah. That Aldritch fight was mental. I had never, ever fought him with him firing his arrows.

Just before Earthbound. It's the second to last run now.

Mario Maker was...rejected? Why?
Most damage he takes in the entire game. And then he casually skydives into Old Demon King.
What is anything?

I love Pokken!
In his defense, Pontiff Knights hit really hard
According to Trihex, according to GDQ staff, they don't want Mario Maker to become boring. So this year, Trihex went to Anime Expo because there was no reason to attend SGDQ.

Nice to see Untextured Rock chipping in toward the cause.

5K donation. Wow.
I'd settle for it being an AGDQ event, tbqh.
I also want them to pick a safer race category for the next Super Metroid race - the last three races have all been kind of underwhelming owing to deaths.

If this mentality is the same reason we aren't seeing popular staples like DKC2 or Ocarina of Time, then somebody needs some sense slapped into them.
Not having Mario Maker, one of the best runs they've ever had, is completely stupid.

The bosses in this game are just fucking awesome.
Makes them so much money every event and won't be retired because of that.
Mario Maker has less of a reason to become boring than other games, because of the user-generated levels. Not entirely satisfied by that answer.
Phantoon is problem in all categories AFAIK, so the race is more to ensure that someone finishes the game for the save/kill donations and there are plenty of tense moments and strict tech that I still enjoy it. The only real problem is that since it been such a staple that everyone assumes everyone watching knows what happens so the commentary becomes barely related to the game.
It doesn't map 1:1 but it got over 250k in donations this year. They're not going give up that.
That's simply what Trihex was told. He doesn't agree with it so that's why he has little reason to attend a GDQ until Mario Maker is accepted.
He made it known over Twitter awhile back.
I agree. User generated levels means is less likely to be boring, especially if you have people like Panga making them. The relay race was really hype and showing off the technical skill of many Mario players.

Sellsword Twinblades go right through the bosses in this game. I remember how awful they were at launch, where two L1's was slower and did less damage than just mashing R1.
In DS3 run? Not really. Took little bit to get two hardest tricks set up, but other than that it was fast and smooth.
Were they ever buffed? Weren't they always powerful not because of the raw damage but the quick bleed proc. Bleed/luck builds are top tier in dark souls 3.

Using Amiibo to give you an advantage is like using a controller with turbo.

I don't know, there's been multiple people in this thread complaining that they feel that the game selection this year is too safe. Personally, I'm okay with at least some games not being brought out every year - I think it's a good move to try and mix things up.

The amiibo aren't even a huge advantage based on times. Best non amiibo time for any% is only 1 minute and 1 second behind the world record with amiibo, and the gap is about half a minute in all dungeons.In all main quests the four top runners are all non amiibo

Watching the DS3 run reminds me that DS1 is the best game in the series.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I agree. To me, since it's essentially inserting a piece of code into the game from outside it's like using a Game Genie/Shark to insert a code to give you Epona from the beginning and I disagree with its usage.

Again, I think it'd be a bigger deal if it actually gave you a huge advantage, but based on times the benefit is fairly small

I agree that amiibo-less runs are more interesting, but that's not a fair comparison - using a Gameshark is just hacking the game, but using amiibos is more comparable to using something like the GBA link feature back in Wind Waker (which was part of the run for a while).

No real skin off my nose if Mario Maker never comes back. I've long since stopped caring about Generic Hard Level #54867 being touted as "great."
RurouniZel

Fair enough.
Yeah, it's definitely built into the game structure.
It's not much of a deal either way in BotW. I'd rather they use them for the minor time saved. I actually hope they find some more interesting skips with the Guardian boxes in the future.

Might as well do runs with pre-order DLC included.
This is a really weird complaint. Was the draw certain levels being touted as great? Were the hard levels on the GDQ stream(s) truly generic?
In my opinion the whole point is the skill and/or surprise of the runners if doing races, and the excitement of watching that, not some argument about the level design. And I believe someone was mentioning above that the designer who'd be doing it is actually decent, not someone generic.
