Why not go the long way around the top? Then a single "down" input is less likely to spoil the whole thing.

The twelve-step route is the only one in Red & Blue.

 

[DaBoss]

The only way possible to do this is if so many people didn't use down inputs or they go from the steps to the ledge.

Cause it is the only route:

As for your second point, its not really that random, if the majority want to go say left, then eventually the character will generally move about to the left direction. If you created a program to actually randomly press buttons, it would take much much longer to even leave the first town.

There's a program doing this now on Twitch, it has run for longer, is set on max speed, and indeed is close to the beginning with an awful "team".

Hours without progress, viewer count refuses to lower.

What the hell mate

Noone wants to miss the glorious moment where the team succeed to pass the corridor, managed to pass the trainers... and fall at the next ledge ^_^

 

[Vire]

Anyone who says down needs to be nuked from orbit.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Down is still needed to get in position though.

 

[Nyoro SF]

This twitch 20 second delay is the worst.

Don't joke about things like that. I don't think my poor heart could take it.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Would throttling the down button work?

Yeah, I was reading the map wrong. Just realized the cake map is wrong too.

 

[Koren]

Pretty sure that many (if not most) "down" are legit, in that when it was typed, the hero actually needed a down move to align itself with the corridor.

I wouldn't be surprised if the lag is a worse enemy here than trolls.

 

[maniac-kun]

I probably have to code a custom irc bot for this. If i do so i open source it.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Someone should add Darksyde Phil commentary to footage of this.

 

[hitme]

It's just most people don't realize that Twitch has a 20 second-ish delay.

Either that or they're just trolling this shit out of everyone.

 

[throwawayname]

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[Brak]

I need full psychological profiles of anyone who is consistently trying to sabotage this run. Like seriously, who are these people?

also: The start button is pretty much disabled; WHY would you keep typing in start? Like multiple people every second. Would someone actually think it's funny? It's totally baffling to me.

 

[Drkirby]

I want to see twitch play the gbc version of Dragon quest 1&2, just to see how often they manage to switch games.

id laugh a lot

 

[Alucrid]

Have they managed to leave Cerulean City yet?

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Have they managed to leave Cerulean City yet?

They've beaten Surge and are stuck on Route 9 right now.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

This song just came to mind.

Have they managed to leave Cerulean City yet?

They've beaten Lt. Surge. Now they're trying to get to the Pokemon Center by the Rock Cave.

 

[Alucrid]

They've beaten Surge and are stuck on Route 9 right now.

Pretty good progress actually.

 

[DaBoss]

Down is needed to position the player and the delay is killing them.

Start can "absorb" the inputs till someone presses B, but to make that useful is hard to do.

Now Left on the other hand (when they are not at the bottom of the ledge) is the most pointless input ever.

 

[Toxi]

Holy shit, 26,000.

That's unreal.

 

[Toppot]

Ah, If it is one one i see (Kingtom404) then yeah its right near the start and has no other pokemon. It could take months for that randomiser to even get a pokeball to use. 255 in game hours LOL.

 

[silver.tongue]

Guys, this is just painful... Wtf.

 

[Chanser]

So they finally got cut right?

 

[Solid Samus]

these people are fucking trolling to nowhere

 

[A Pretty Panda]

With the twitch delay and different amounts of lag on everyone's end this would probably take just as much time even if some people weren't fucking around.

 

[Wazzy]

We're still stuck at the ledge?

TELL ME WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[SmithnCo]

Oh good lord.

 

[Cess007]

Damn, i just woke up and i came here to find out we've already beat St. Surge! Damn (somehow i've managed to miss the 3 gym victories :/) and that we're stuck in the road to Rock Tunne. This will be fun to watch xD

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Oh my god. Painfully close.

 

[Satch]

SO CLOSE

 

[Wazzy]

OMG STOP JUMPING THE LEDGE

 

[Thorakai]

if we make it to the Elite Four this will be humanity's greatest achievement of all time. OF ALL TIME.

 

[Koren]

We're still stuck at the ledge?

TELL ME WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Because they managed to enter the corridor one every ten minutes at best, and then, you have to avoid a *single* down for nearly 10 seconds.

And since down is usually needed to enter the corridor and you have 20-30s of lag... even without trolls, it's a challenge.

I know but four hours? URGHHHHH

 

[sinxtanx]

Don't worry! Once we're past this, we're totally going to ACE rock tunnel!

• lie down
• try not to cry
• cry a lot

 

[Rapstah]

I don't even think they've had ten actual tries in those four hours.

 

[Evo X]

Over 23 thousand people on the stream now? Jesus Christ. It was only 2 thousand when I first saw it.

 

[Cess007]

I know but four hours? URGHHHHH

That's what took them to just open the menu, select HM01 and teach it a pokemon the first time. I'm waiting this to take twice that time.....

... tho i could be wrong, last night i expected to last until morning to solve the Trash cans-puzzle and beat Surge, but they did it already!

RNGesus smiled upon the trashcan run.

 

[Van]

We have to much power!
SHUT
DOWN
EVERYTHING

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Worst thing is they're probably going to lose to a trainer even if they do get past it.

 

[ronito]

this is how it ends.

 

[Finalow]

I think it's losing viewers.

lol, the number of viewers is actually rising, 22k now. need around 10k like yesterday to do this.

 

[CyclopsRock]

Meanwhile the totally random game has levelled charmander from Lvl 9 to Lvl 13 in about an hour and a half - I think it took him a LONG time to beat Gary and get out of Oak's shack, but now he has, he's basically going to end up being level 100 and still in Pallet Town, having utterly destroyed its Ratatta population.

 

[everyday math]

So I just got back home from work. Have they gotten past the 12 steps of hell yet?

 

[CyclopsRock]

It;s mostly just people spamming "right" and "up" now so maybe it'll work!
