Mentioning him will trigger some anon but Metako actually did this well during Leonis' $20% FF3 run, due to personality and due to it being brief and not for hours on end.

any runs you guys are looking forward to still? i'm looking forward to looney tunes racing, it's run by the guy who did CTR so it'll probably be good.

Gets a C. Game is a great speedrun and race was damn close but too many mess ups plus commentary was just not good enough for commentary bias. Should've gotten anglos to do it.

I'm here to mig, put all the Plums in the bag and no one gets hurt

>>714293532
I'm just using ESA and GDQ as background noise, it's ASM and Dogwater that I'm really looking forwards to.

Have they inflated the estimates this event? Because every run I've seen seems to go super under estimate.

everyone's wife is taller than him

>>714293931
oh man "thanks" for reminding me of that run. It SUCKED and yeah even the runner was shitting on it. IIRC the devs even made an update to the game which made even more cutscenes unskippable. Fucking terrible speedgame.

>>714293931
>unwatchable skipscenes
what?

>mirror's edge every event
I hope we never get another ESA, ever again

>>714294049
>IIRC the devs even made an update to the game which made even more cutscenes unskippable
Oh yeah, the runner mentioned it last time. Why did they accept it?

>>714293634
>>714293931
Fuck, I remember that. 53 minutes of unskippable cutscenes I think, and that doesn't include all the walk and talk sections.

>>714293521
B

>>714293532
I did that in 2023 last time there was a big string of runs back to back. It was something like GDQ then ESA then Northwest Speedfest then ASM and RPG Limit Break at the same time then BSG. I might try it again as there's less events this time.

>>714294192
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think its s2 time

For what purpose?

>>714294192
>>714294049
I remember how confused we were that the run started off with the runner saying that the game is a bad speedrun game because of unskippable cut scenes. At least he was honest but who outright says that the game you run isn't a good speedrun game?

>>714293886

our boy rebeldragon95 is really pushing it this year

>>714295320
I hope you got the backwards legs cutscene.

The hell, how many games is big lad running this ESA.
It's like third time I see him

will need for speed have cool tech or something?

I guess its spiderman until spyro 2 run starts

why is rebeldragon abusing us like this bros?

>>714295392
That's not how gravity works.
The games gravitated towards the denser lad.

>>714295451
Revenge for the Darkest Dungeon run.

>>714294758
Who? RebelDragon?

>>714295451
payback for niggering about in his past runs

>>714295419
he's really carrying his weight this year

Rebel's a good runner but this is a shit game. It's casual banter versus movie game bullshit. I predict a bloodbath.

wow the MCs voice in this game is really annoying wtf why is he so whiny sounding

Miles is the most unlikeable character ever created

>>714295410
Yeah I've been playing through the series for the first time this year

>>714295419
Well after the mass exodus of their regulars in 2024 they need people to run their games. It was worse in 2024 with the sudden drop outs and they had to scramble for runs, ANY run. Sometimes it'd be the same game twice over.

If you check the Oengus this time around they near accepted everyone too.

spiderman is a

>>714295638
but he has that swagger

>>714295640
wow and you're already at 8 huh? You're almost there, that's an awesome challenge/play through. I hope you enjoy it.

Someone's gotta have the video of rebel approaching the cam ready to play a game
post it

>second cutscene and they're already making mockery out of Peter
Is this the whole game

>>714295626
Miles is the most beloved Spider-Man to date. Even Spider-Man thinks that Miles is a better Spider-Man the he himself is.

GDQ have now released their schedule: https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule/56

Some other info:
>Rubie will be there this time
>Keizaron will not be there he is still getting over his girlfriend leaving him for Ryuk from Death Note
>Remember to hydrate!
>It starts right after ESA

One: Miles should have electric powers, invisibility and exaggerated teenage swagger. Two: whenever Peter is on screen all the characters should be asking "Why can't you be more like Miles?"

>>714295760
>Sometimes it'd be the same game twice over.
don't ctrl-f "spyro" in the schedule

>>714295626
it's meant for zoomers

>>714295851
yeah whitey needed to be put in his place for Miles to shine

>>714295786
its exaggerated though

>>714295638
I love Miles though.

>>714295638
He isn't a character.
You can't even dislike him because he's basically air, just what he stands for.

>>714293521
I'm doin' him a B

>>714294710
I'm gonna go lift.

>>714295891
neat, thanks anon

>>714295891
>Keizaron will not be there
YES YES YES!!!!

>speedrun a game where you have to watch 1h of cutscenes every time
the most degenerate act...

He's trying his absolute hardest not to fall asleep

>>714295638
He used to be cool. Ironically it's because people did like him that Marvel started shoving him into everything and flanderizing his character.

>>714295891
>GDQ have now released their schedule
It's been out for something like a month.

>>714295903
Chat GPT generated this schedule please understand

>Auto-QTE
Sony is not even trying to pass these movies as games anymore.

Should accessibility settings be allowed for speedruns? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose when the QTE just auto completes?

Doesn't that fall in the vein of tool assisted or something?

did he say auto QT? isnt that missing the point of speedrunning

>>714295384
When was the last Ruffledbricks run? I know he was taking a break because he felt like Worms was played out but what does he do now?

>>714295339
The stuff he runs is so weird. Like such a weird variety. Yakuza, Spider-Man, StreetBoyz, Darkest Dungeon. None of them link genre wise.

>>714296267
Depends on the community, some have an agreement to allow stuff like turbo controllers.

>>714296267
accessibility settings should not be allowed in video games

>>714296263
Have you seen GoWR? You cannot lose QTEs anymore on the highest difficulty.

When I played Half-Life 2 in 2006 I remember thinking 'Wow, it's like a cutscene but I get to keep control of my character! Cool! More games should do this.'

That might be in the Top 5 Wrongest Thoughts I Ever Thought.

rebeldragon is doing well at explaining but i dont understand why he is "playing" this game

wow spiderman sure is so cool

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A WITCH??

>>714296552
X/Y, not the race with the trannies.
Pokemon runs are usually fun. Never watched the runner though, might be shite.
I also enjoy 6+ hour JRPG runs if they employ good speedtech or menuing.

>>714296845
Alhamdulillah he will be seasoned

>>714296927
>Dude just gets whatever he needs when he needs it.
That's literally any capeshit comic.

>While I wait for this cutscene to end
is not a thing you should be hearing in speedruns

>>714297045

>>714296927
Miles is a wonderful mixture of cultures and languages the way he leaps off of rooftops and flips backwards to face the camera before falling into a head first dive is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a black teen it gives me goosebumps every time he does it especially as the music begins to swell.

>So fat he brings a movie to a speedrunning event to save on body movements

if miles was actually black people would like him way more
>noooo spiderman you cant kill me
>not today motherfucker
>*pulls a glock and shoots green goblin in the head*

>watching spider man
why?

that launch was cool

thought id take a break from s1 because of how annoying miles is so i checked in on s2 and the runner has so much fucking saliva in his mouth and keeps smacking his lips when talking i cant believe i dont have any better options than this right now

>>714297037

Please play the game itself though, it's quite fun!!

>>714301213
I've noticed that.There's A LOT of Spyro this year, like nearly every Spyro. Whats weirder to me is that its spread out through the week and not together. No Spyro Block? The amount of Spyro was a perfect opportunity to do so.

It's a bit like how they had FF7 on Stream 1 and FF7 Remake on Stream 2. So no matter what you were stuck with FF7. They didn't think to put Remake on the asme stream after FF7?

>>714301753
F. Massively over estimate with the incentive.

>>714301753
D, a little boring and went way overestimate

>>714301391

The two streams have been weird this year. Its either been both streams have something I wanna watch at the same time, or they both have nothing I wanna watch at the same time

>>714301998
Lot of spyro runners signed up helps, but yeah it's a bit much. Two streams obviously helps, but stream 2 isn't exactly on 24/7

>>714301783
Never forget the insanely bright table

They threw out the scheduling team that had all the experience and replaced it with new people and chatgpt.

>>714302178
Its not necesarilly the amount of Spyro for me, I'm fine with Spyro, its that usually when a bunch of the same genre or franchise sign up, you usually put them in a block. Like how Argick always had Sonic blocks, how Monday was basically JRPG day. But instead Spyro is just spread out through both streams through the week and I find thart odd.

I also find that Stream 2 this year has usually something similar. So for example Stream 1 had FF7 and Paper Mario, then Stream 2 had Lost Judgment. So no matter what you had to watch a long RPG. Just weird scheduling this year. Not really whats picked but more where it is in the schedule.

>>the GOAT in question:
OH NO NO NO

>>714302536
This. His game choices are always boring.
Rebel's pretty cool though so if I have to guess I think he deliberately elects to take all the shit times so nobody has to do them. Like the super late nights, the early mornings, the stream 2 fillers etc. And for this he elected to go aside the popular Spyro. So I think that factors into why nobody comes to watch his runs either as well.

Its just a theory though. I know Sylwer (The Dragon Quest runner) does actually do this, hence why nobody turns up to his runs. He offered to run Dragon Quest during the ESA dinner that one year and this year he offered to take the graveyard 1am slot. Maybe its the same for Rebel cause he has A LOT of runs and they've all been at weird times.

Time for early shuteye, hoping drawfag anon delivers on that Plum request soon™..

I don't mind it, I'll take Spyro over Argick, Huds and Skenmy playing Sonic for 5 hours followed by a bunch of pretend game shows. We all knew that with a lot of the big ESA regulars gone, a new clique had to come take its place and I find these people more tolerable.

>>714302352

heh

I like hypnoshark but his circlejerk group pisses me off
Think i will stick with my nigga RebelDragon95

How does he manage to show up at every speedrun event and get a run in? No matter where I watch he's there. It could be America one week, then UK the next and he's at both somehow. Is he a millionaire? Does he teleport?

>>714302978
I consider this the truth now

whats with the spyro autism

>>714303450
Have you seen the movie Jumper? Ever wonder why he's so fucking fat?

>>714303262
Skenmy is still there, so are the pretend game shows.

>>714303495
spyro's a sex icon

>>714303450
He takes big steps, small walk for him, big walk for you

>>714303450
he's so big that he's omnipresent in all of them right now

>astro bot next
the run from day 1?

>>714303556

>>714303479
When you check all the times he's ran this year, they're all pretty inconvenient times that nobody likely wants, or they're matched with runs on another stream that they all know everyone will watch so whoever is on the other stream will bomb.

Again this is just a theory though, the most likely thing is yeah the games he runs are shit.

>>714303556
Subway

How many days has he been wearing that shirt?

>>714303554
Yeah but he's not showing up as often at least, last few ESAs he was everywhere, and at least its not a game show every night, so I can tolerate it.

>>714303392
Again with such a big gap made due to the mass exodus of 2024, there was room for a new clique to come to the forefront and I don't mind this one personally just because they run games I like and they aren't as obnoxious as the Argick crew, or Nash dragging that German everywhere, but I know some people liked Argick I just didn't. They might become more obnoxious over time though so we'll see.

>>714303912

Did Spyro seriously start a half hour late for the slop horror?

>>714304623

>>714299504
Historically no. Ever since COVID they've said all subs and bits and ad revenue go toward the event.

>>714304623
He got a shave

>>714304186
Stream 2 is always more chill and people feel a bit more encouraged to turn up

>>714305195
Chibi O_O

>>714304534
Oh no..

>>714304186
stream 2 always feels more homely because its in a smaller room like the good old days. if i still went to these events that is where id want to be as well

>>714305242
I think it helps that this year stream 1 feels like longer games, stream 2 feels like shorter games. Also there's clearly a PS1 crew going on now that come to watch each other's runs. While Rebeldragon's old crew (The UKSG crew) all upped and left.

what if they had 2 small rooms

>>714305138
I have adblock but ive seen a lot of people complain about the ads.

>>714305138
That was GDQ after they got into a fight with their venue.

>>714305363
If I went to ESA, I imagine I'd mostly be camping in the tournament room playing whatever fighting games or the like, if they're still doing those.

>>714302978
You hit the nail on the head. Rebel is just an overall nice guy who wants to do whatever he can to help.

>>714305363
Yeah, its either mega comfy or having lots of fun. Stream 1 this year has felt pretty empty and the runs can be described as "just runs"

>>714305503
There's a shitton of activities and stuff to do, when I went a bunch of us went off to do rock climbing.

>>714305138
They have to as a lot of their sponsors pulled out. Remember they used to have keyboard sponsors and shit that they'd sell? And like, virus protection, or people would advertise their games (or die) you get none of that now after the MeTooing.

>>714305475

>>714305687
cute!

>>714305634
Yeah, I remember people signing up for rock climbing. I would've gone along, but there was a tournament bracket I was involved in around the same time, so I missed it.
But, it's been few years since I last went, so I'm not sure if there's as much side activity as there used to be.

>>714305687
nic e

>>714305503
They should steal GDQ's idea and just do a tournament on stream

>>714305687
very nice

>>714305634
Isn't it mostly board games and tabletop over vidya?

>>714305903
What's funny is that we played Evil Zone at ESA years back, called it kusoge, and then I had a chuckle when they did a tournament of it on stream at GDQ

>>714305781
Yeah. This year he wasn't alone as he had a fren. Though nobody still watched.

>>714305503
>>714305634
>>714305830
Does anyone remember when they used to have a map on their website of all the different areas and stuff going on and one of the rooms just said "THIS IS NOT A ROOM!" and an anon who was at the event tried to find it?

I 100% spyro 2 years ago and remember nothing except this damn hockey game

>>714306224
Delete your post right now

>>714306224
The "Not a room" was a staff room used for filming.

>>714306224
It was a staff room

>>714305830
I'd assume there's something broadly the same going on still, though it's also been quite a while since I went.

These days if I went to anything I'd probably go to BSG.
>>714306032
They had different rooms for that.

>holy shit how are people putting up with this
i will never understand it. there are legit human beings who put up with ads on twitch and youtube and the few times ive been without adblock it is literally unusable

I just noticed that cata and puppery are even donation reading together on stream one. This makes them speedrunning’s second closest couple, right after the bouncy castle boys.

>>714306785
Watch Party, or playing mafia. You know, the social game. Usually it's shit like playing Quiplash from those Jackbox titles

>>714306783
it makes them feel like they're contributing somehow

>Spyro AGAIN
>He's purple

>>714296809
it's because lumilaura is one of the people handling scheduling and thoroughly abusing that position

>>714306783
This is what the average Twitch watcher puts up with, no wonder Twitch is plumetting.

>>714306842

>>714306783

>>714306864
Some don't know any better, or feel like it's too much effort to try and block them at all.

>>714306959
i hate that dyke

>>714307070
the actual reason why "i disabled it for a bit", it's been unstable the past couple of days

>>714306783
TTVLOL isn't working for me any more. It hasn't worked forever, I've been using Brave but now that stopped blocking them. Now I'm using alternate Twitch, but all that does is silence and hide the ads, still better than seeing them I guess.

Laura is a tranny. He avoids plastering his pronouns everywhere because he doesn't want people to notice. I'd respect him not drawing attention to it every two seconds, but he's an insufferable prick for different reasons (and also a furry) so it evens out.

>>714306864
Twitch and their partners go to all this effort to create awesome content for us, we have an obligation to watch their ads in return.

>>714307070
>>714307212
>>714307379
The annoying shit with Twitch is the way they push ads isn't the same everywhere, so a solution that works perfectly for one person will fail like fuck when done 1:1 elsewhere.

>>714308056
That's America for you.
>>714308142
Yeah maybe its an accent. I know some people find the Norf Brit accents endearing and some find them annoying.

However stream 1's accent is more South while Stream 2's is more midlands.

>El Hijo Del Masque Blanco

>>714310608
French love racing in general. Tour De France, Grand Prix, Formula 1, so it's gonna translate to video games, Trackmania, racing games. So the most likely thing they're gonna speedrun is racing games.

>>714311795
To speedrun you don't need much more than an access to a game, and optionally some way to record and submit your runs if you want to compete and have your times recognized by others. So then it comes down to tickling people's fancy enough, and only a select few really stick to it to run at top levels.

>>714311795
>Yet we have a Czech runner.
There's actually quite a few of them kicking around the venue right now.

>>714311795
