Hell yea. Super Monkey Ball, any o them, is such a spectacle of skill and level exploitation when speed running. It's great to watch

Just FYI: apparently the game timer they've been using ran slower than realtime, thus every run prior to Super Monkey Ball (when the timer was fixed) is showing less time than what has actually elapsed. They are going back and manually retiming some of the previous runs.

Ah, so ape escape not world record. 1:29:45 is the record and their slower clock said 1:29:30

I love Pokken!
SOTN WR denied?
Some of those jumps were insane

EDIT: Actually seeing conflicting numbers, some alleging it was losing seconds per minute. So yeah, hard to call until the techs retime the run.

Yeah it looks freaking crazy from the eyes of someone who doesn't speedrun the game

Some of the big jumps are legit easier to do than the stage itself.

I am timing the SOTN run now.
5 mins in, and the SGDQ timer is behind around 4 seconds.
Edit: SGDQ timer was 32:59, my stopwatch was 33:30 so no new World Record.
Still an excellent run, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yep. I recall a number of stages that I've never done "legitimately".

I love watching runs of classic PC games and therefore really enjoyed MDK. An unique game to this day. It's a shame that there was nobody in the audienceEverybody else just wants to watch Mario for the 1000th time.
MDK was streamed in the middle of the night, right? It's unfortunate that soe game are played with virtually no audience, but that's kinda the nature of the doing a 24/7 event
No idea but the chat is worse than usual. Should just turn on sub mode.
Yeah, Monkey Ball is such a great speed game, always love seeing any of them run.
This however, is absurd.
I know it's for chairty, but sometimes GDQ gives off such Mickey Mouse, ramshackle, podunk vibes.

Yeah. Chat is complete and utter garbage-ass shit this time around.
Spamming emoticons is apparently the new thing.
Someplace magical, where yellow shirts and high-pitched laughs are plentiful.

spamming emotes in GDQ chats has been around for 5+ years

Yep and I know that it's reasonable to give MDK that timeslot. It's an innovative niche PC game from 1997 after all. I just feel bad for the runners a little bit because I enjoy those runs. and would love a bigger crowd. But I too have to resort to VODs because of work and the different timezone.

I'm not sure what people expect out of a chat with tens of thousands of viewers

Emote spam is an improvement over the usual chat. Also it's not new at all.

This Pewdiepie of Twitch has made the chats lamer than they usually are. Used to be you'd get some variety in the insanity, but now it's the same everywhere.

Yeah lol. It's the reason I watch the German restream. Just over 2k viewers and thus the chat moves slow enough for conversation being possible in chat and commentators being able to interact with the chat. Also has a way stricter moderation than the main chat.

...Really?
Fair enough.
I don't recall the spamming being nearly this bad.

Are you new to twtich chat? lol

This English guy likes the sound of his own voice more than the run.

Been watching most of this with friends. Really enjoyed Guacamelee and Okami. Looking forward to the Mirror's Edge runs tonight.

The couch guy commentating on Freedom Planet is god. Explaining stuff indepth at ridiculous speeds.
Yay, Sonic block.
Really digging the Freedom Planet run so far. I hope the guy doing commentary can keep it up all the way through.
Regarding Twitch chat, AGDQ 2016 was my first one and I actually kinda liked the chat back then. It was obviously spammy af but I feel like it's gotten way worse in this short period of time.

Very good commentary on Freedom Planet, so good for a game I have no idea about. It makes it way more enjoyable to watch.
To be fair he provides a lot of information / second. I don't mind it.
Noisepurge

Yup, always better to have someone basically shoutcasting when the run is fast and technical gives the runner more focus too as they dont have to talk
