>>714465598Minutes, but the party is constantly changing in this game so there will be lots of points without Vivi.
>>714465327He knows this run has been a success at ESA before, but it was a success at a very different marathon where he was surrounded by other RPG runners.
>>714465340Thumbnail made me think you did red mohawk edit for everyone.
>>714465718I thought he had added moogle pompoms on everyone and was very disappointed.
anyone getting a lot of random pauses in the stream to load?

You know, Mizzow is ok, but it's not the same without Leonis and Metako. Wonder if Leonis is also gone for good.

>>714466494They never did.
>>714464971Why do you need three things
>>714466073It definitely feels a lot more I guess sterile? than two years back, it had a ton of other RPG runners floating in and out, and felt a lot less forced. It comes across like somebody (probably management) went "that was a success, do it again".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZc-yHMx20M
>>714466438Fun if you liked his other run and brand of screwing around with not really giving a fuck.
>>714466573>and felt a lot less forcedYeah, that's my main issue right now. It feels like Mizzow thinks that "now it's my time to shine" and tries to compensate the absence of the rest of the FF gang with extra energy, and it backfires. If he just was one of three, it would be no issue, but him in the lead? For 16 hours? I don't think so.
>>714466463lmao

>>714466536oh man, from the name i hoped it was the girl with skin coloured pants
>it feels a lot more sterile
What the fuck are you idiots smoking?
>>714466753>It feels like Mizzow thinks that "now it's my time to shine"Funny thing is that he already did that, Legends is where him and his brother kind of stole the show by hanging around pretty much all the fucking time and keeping the energy up.
>>714466810Eiko wont show up for probably 8 hours.
>>714466871Legends was the harbinger of the death of ESA, had the changes continued, ESA would be gone for good
>>714466850Go watch the 20 hours of him doing the exact same run before, it's like he's trying to do the hype man thing in a vacuum.
>>714466946>had the changes continued, ESA would be gone for goodNo, they're symptoms of a much bigger issue that hasn't even changed but they're the visible things that people obsessed over hard.
>>714467026You are incorrect. The stream 2 and 24/7 changes reversed and viewercount is way up. Course corrected.
Props to the runner for not giving up at least. Despite the 2 minute timeloss.
>>714466946>>714466964Whats the deal with you guys? Are you middle aged gossip woman who need some external drama in their life?
Who cares about that?
>>714467026>of a much bigger issue that hasn't even changedThat might well be true, but as a viewer, apart from the sometimes terrible stream layout (like now on stream 2) the marathon looks pretty solid to me. If I didn't know about all the drama and internal tensions, I would not suspect anything.

>>714466073Can't wait for Metako at BSG/NSG/UKSG whatever, his runs are always entertaining. He has the charisma to carry 20+ hour Final Fantasy runs.
>>714467394It is what they wanted, events themed around a single franchise and other shit like that.
>>714467394More Ratchet too!
Maybe more Spider-Man too!

>>714467394Well considering GDQ is like Nintendo clique, it was about time ESA found theirs here in Europe.

>>714467903nice emdash chatgpt headass
>>714467884It's gonna take longer
>only 40,000 in donos
Yeah there wont be an ESA winter next year
The viewer count being up is also a meme kek. Like no shit July shows a "spike" because the event has continued into it and doesn't have the vod re-runs playing all month lowering the average. The donation total is also roughly the same as 2024 (or lower if you think the 4.5k anonymous no message isn't legit).
Speedrunning in general is just fucking dying.
>>714467884If they somehow get him to do Ozma, we're gonna be here for a while.
>>714467968Yeah the Ozma solo took ages and a fuckton of luck with restarts, and that was when they were using a turbo macro controller.
>>714468018RIP Charity for fun event. If only we could have raised 41,000.
>>714468027>Speedrunning in general is just fucking dying.You millennials are the only ones that genuinely care about this. ZoomerChads just watch the clips for the cringekino moments
>>714468059The issue with Ozma isn't fighting him, because that part can basically be RNG with the meteor damage rolls. The bigger issue is unlocking him in the first place. Just getting to him takes a while.
>>714468018>The ESA Winter 2019 event collected a total of $30,080Why not? There are million smaller venues every month somewhere
>>714467948You are deemed too retarded to talk to.
Estimate is starting to look suspicious with these chokes
>>714468104>RIP Charity for fun event.They literally shut down last year due to lack of donos... Oh and random sexual assaults.
>>714468027>Speedrunning in general is just fucking dying.We're getting 4 events back to back, Speedrunning is flourishing.
>>714468145das rite kneel boi
>>714468027>Speedrunning in general is just fucking dying.More like consolidating. In my fucking casual opinion, a lot of marathons could simply be cut, and it would be an improvement. I get it that the involved people want to keep their thing going all year long, but for the viewer it's such a massive oversaturation, even ESA and GDQ being close to each other is already too much. AGDQ/SGDQ and ESA spring/fall or something would make a lot more sense, and for the casual viewer, that would already be plenty.
>>714468018>>714468027It's over, we're all gonna have alzheimers when we grow old
>>714468162I think it's fairer to say that the mainstream interest in speedrunning is down, because people have seen the classics enough times to lose interest. People still tune into watch runs here and there, but they're more spread out, outside of whatever games that might be the "hip" thing at the moment.
>>714468104Arisu seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeex!
>>714468018I'll call it a success if they manage to hit 50k without all the crowd control and 25$ meme event spam from the previous years. Though honestly they didn't need to ditch the crowd controls as long as they don't spam like 5 of them.
>>714468036And that's a good thing.
>>714468162If anything the smaller ones are flourishing, with the big ones becoming too big to keep up the exponential growth that keeps the corporate sponsors interested.

>>714468347why does ESA pull so low numbers? it's quite a shame, it's a really nice and well put together event
>>714473619Australia moves around, as it is actually an alien spacecraft that crashed on Earth eons ago. That's why it's so uniquely inhospitable in both fauna and geography. It is not of this world.
>>714473803No special promotional deal with Twitch anymore, little to no corporate sponsors to do the pretend donations with.
This is a really weird game.
>>714473803Isn't it still like the 2nd most profitable event? RTA is getting close nowadays. GDQ is just on a category of it's own since apparently donating in murrica can lead to earning money or some shit
>>714473819It's well known that this cartoon was a veiled documentary about Australia.

>>714473819is this why the people are so fuckin weird and taciturn? they're being affected by the extraterrestrial environment?
>>714473803There's only room in town for so much game. GDQ has a stranglehold just by virtue of being the first, the most blatantly American, and the darling of both twitch and money-laundering sponsors alike. Speedrunning as a hobby isn't growing, either, so we rely on slow and steady progress
If you like ESA, shill it to your friends that don't hate speedruns

While not quite the wild frontier of the 80s, even in the SNES era it was still fairly wild, and graphics on consoles were a lot more advanced. There's games that are this bizarre on NES but because they look more primitive it doesn't come across as much, here it's all detailed graphics and sprites for total nonsense.
