I'm going back and watching the TGM run, I forgot to watch it. JRPG runs are the worst.

>>718060398
I don't know how people even manage to play TGM, that's above my skill level.

>>718060398
But this one has Firis. Firis is cute.

>>718060569
I just can't get into story game runs where they're mashing past the text. Maybe if I played more JRPGs I could enjoy them, but I really don't play many of them.

I guess I'd watch a Linda Cube "all animals" run. That could be fun.

>>718060631
For Atelier runs, it's about finding out the fastest way to make items that let you blow up every enemy you have to deal with. If I remember right, Firis doesn't let you duplicate/reuse items until after the point the run ends at.

>>718060524
2 of the runners are doing it on classic instead of TGM mode, which is a shame, that's like a baby mode where you can climb with your rotations to avoid shitty drops.

>>718060753
To be fair, it wasn't a competition against each other, the objective was to beat their own PB.

She's still doing the hula hoop!!

>>718060943
I like TGM for the TGM ruleset. It's like seeing a race for NES Tetris but 2/3 of the players are playing a modded rom with a hold function added.

Firis really doesn't make for a particularly entertaining speedrun.

The Mysterious games started 10 years ago. Is Sophie still number 1?

>>718061750
Number 1 dork and bookfucker, maybe.
I still like Lydie and Suelle best out of all the mysterious games.

>still an hour left
Shit, I think I've already watched all the good runs this time.

>>718062374
I've only played vanilla Sophie and Firis DX, but after Dusk my interest in the series dropped off. I loved Hidari's art and the melancholy atmosphere, so going back to more traditional fantasy wasn't that appealing. I also made the mistake of trying out Resleriana when it launched...the lack of an actual world to explore around was appalling.

>>718062715
Well, if you're playing for the atmosphere, I guess there's Yumia.

>>718062805
I know that's going for a less cheerful tone again, but the footage I've seen didn't excite me much.

It's finally over.

>Almost got fucked by RNG against Il
>Almost got fucked by RNG against Sophie
>Had to resort to normal attacks to finish both fights
That was closer than I thought it would be.

>>718063816
I mean, they kind of just cloned the ubisoft tower open world formula and forgot that Atelier lives or dies on its alchemy, so that's fair.

0xwas is a westerner, right? Wonder if we're going to get some more "konnichiwa dudes" cringe.

>>718064223
I sure hope not. There's no commentator listed.

>>718063883
That'll be why. The last Ubisoft game I finished was Assassin's Creed Revelations, and I'm in no hurry to play another. Maybe Atelier will return to itself one day, or just keep changing.

>>718064224
That's one long finger.

>>718064270
Commentators don't get listed on the schedule.

Handicap, huh? Sounds fun.

>twitter name loliillya
I feel like I can get along with this runner

>>718064223
Doesn't look like it based off his twitter account, or at very least he's fluent
He's also based as fuck

>the character who moves the slowest is the slowest
>the character who moves the fastest is the fastest
who woulda thought

wait, i fucked up, the guy with the sliding punch moves the fastest
it's also the character they used in the last speedrun i saw
so why are they giving the ninja the biggest handicap? best runner?

>>718064892
0xwas can beat the other two by like three minutes, look at the leaderboards

>>718064615
I recognised his name from GDQ years back, but I didn't check.

>>718064892
Ninja is faster according to the speedrun site, kamakura is sub 20 minutes.

The ninja already caught up with the dabber.

>>718065004
Guess it's the sword ultimate that kills stuff faster

This is a fun race, you can't really tell who's ahead.

>>718065361
YT won.

Ninja ran out of steam at the end. He took forever to kill the bosses for some reason. Even if he caught up with the warrior for a moment the warrior took over by a lot again

>>718065456
His upgrade spins kept landing on health up. RNG fucked him.

>>718065571
I'm pretty sure they were landing on it on purpose after they maxed up their main

>dabber wins
>everyone dabs
kino

>>718065571
I think he was pushing earlier to make up time by not pausing like the other 2 in the early stages.

>>718065602
I thought it was entirely random, was it not?
The other thing I noticed was that SAS and YT were taking damage intentionally and 0xwas was avoiding taking any damage. To his own detriment I might add.

>only guy speedrunning this version of the game
Bets on if he says he's the top runner in the world or not?

hime-sama tsuyoi!!

>>718065676
Roulette depended on the frame you stopped it. At the beginning they were pausing to get the frame where you get main ups. Later on they were just stopping it on the first frame which resulted in the health up. Occasionally they'd be a frame off and get sub ups instead.

Not sure about the avoiding damage part. Might be that the ninja had a bigger knockback or something.

I like how people keep holding her up to the camera.

>>718065861
>does nothing 90% of the time
She's lazy. Why not just use her power to smash the cave?

>>718065970
Pretty sure it's just a staff member promoting the merch. I'm not complaining, though.

>>718066290
On the other hand, if you were to look up RJ202508

>>718066376
>cuckshit

>>718066290
If only Dungeon and Bride came out earlier, we could've been watching a run of that instead.

>>718066548
Get cucked, King Slime! Princes RTA-chan belongs to the Big R!

>>718066607
I'd rather they run Karryn's Prison or Villnammellet tbfamalam

>>718066906
Bloodroot on the initial release (1.0.0.8) is a pretty interesting speedrun due to some of the glitches you can pull

>>718067202
I've heard some marathon ran Vita's Great Escape years ago, might have been ESA, can't remember, so I wouldn't be surprised if I saw Bloodroot getting ran since it's like 95% metroidsouls and 5% H

RJ120676 for reference
They also ran RJ01269827 last RTA or something, but that one doesn't have H or anything

it was in the Mystery Dungeon RTA event

>resets before even dying
Don't lose hope yamamoto-san

>>718067606
I wonder if his choice of switch over PC is because the resets are probably faster, or just being too old to understand Steam.

>>718067947
PC resets can't possibly be slower. You just hit Alt+F4 and then click play on the Steam UI.

>"sometimes the game just freezes"
Wtf is that quality?

>>718069472
The power of the switch...

Is this amount of resets average for this game? Because man is this not fun to watch.

>>718070631
it's like a 20 hour grindan game crammed into 2 hours of course it's gonna be full of rng manipulation

>>718070631
>>718070861
I imagine when EO2 is on later it'll just be a lot of esoteric movements to manipulate the RNG correctly with minimal resets.

>>718070861
>rng manipulation
He is just rerolling until he gets what he wants.

>>718070861
This isn't RNG manipulation. RNG manipulation is when you understand what causes random number generation to change and do actions precisely to keep the RNG under your control. This is just resetting.

>still going
Will he be over-estimate?

>>718072682
he estimated ten or fifteen minutes over if I didn't hear wrong

>>718073202
Jesus, just mercy kill it already.

Is this the longest over-estimate so far?

>>718065803
>the woman commentating also runs it, just hasn't submitted her run
At least he's not the only runner then

>>718073427
A top 2 place is ours for the taking.

This is a disaster.

>>718071046
Yeah, the DS EO games are all RNG manipulated.

>>718073634
It just keeps getting worse.

faitoo!

Left-san............

The race was going great, then Nore choked 4 times.

Is tofu good for you

>>718076158
it's onions

>>718076158
It's made of that stuff we're not allowed to post here without getting wordfiltered, of course not.

Time for Arino-san

>>718076321
Someone in chat reminded me it was on TV right now.

>>718076553
double kacho

>>718076734
I dunno if he'll be able to do it alone. Hopefully he has an AD to help.

that's a long famicon

I played this back on the DS, I wonder why they renamed gear man to "haggle man".

>>718078537
Needing to always haggle with the head localisation team over everything grinded my gears, so

>>718078537
Wait, I think I get it. They read ハグルマン as ハグル...マン. You know, despite the fact he throws gears around and the stages are in the clockwork mansion. Honestly, are localisers ever even slightly competent?

>>718078831
Might be since the GCCX fansubs translated it as Haggle man too. No idea how the japs romanize it if they romanize it at all

>>718078959
I just can't comprehend how you make a mistake like that. It's not like 歯車 is an uncommon word.

>>718078831
Google Translate said 'ハグルマン' is 'Hagleman', so obviously they meant Haggleman

Was the guy not using a turbo controller? Seemed like he was firing plenty fast enough

>>718080348
Just mashing A and B, you can get pretty fast but auto-fire is way faster when you're close.

>>718080421
Cool. Didn't even realize the runner was actually mashing all the way until now

>planned to watch it this year for sure
>missed it
Bros... I will never enjoy RTA...

why do the enemies sometimes not hurt the player's ship?

>>718081947
Strong "I wish I could pet a dog..." vibes.

This particular game in the collection is pretty dull with the whole "invincibility cheat" going on.

>>718082021
The games have cheat codes, he used one that makes you invincible so he could clear the game trivially.

>>718082063
>cheat codes
shamefur...

>>718081947
You can still catch a few games!

When is the next major event by the way? RTA in Winter 2025?

>cooling pad
High effort
Good job

>>718082408
They were even official GCCX collab cooling pads.

>>718082478
>super premium cooling pads
Wow...

I forget, is Guardia quest the last game in 1?

>>718084391
>forgetting the ninja gaiden rip-off
お の れ

>>718085086
Honestly, I think I got to Guardia quest and quit.

>>718085192
Haven't played any of the GCCX games but honestly all the shooters and the racing game in the beginning half look like BORING SHIT. Guardia and Haguru 3 look like fun games.

>>718085395
Rally King is more fun than it looks.

>30k
Does it always have so many viewers?
I thought viewer count was about 10k.

>>718085858
note sure bout the grills but that R is super cute

>>718085932
It's pretty low on view count right now because it's the middle of the night. It's usually around 45k, peaking around 60k.

>>718085932
I think it peaked around 50k earlier

>>718085932
It's been at around 40-50k when I've checked

>>718085932
I saw at 50k during a rhythm game at japanese prime

バイバイィーーー

Good thing they reset the stream, that king slime was massive

Highest I saw was around 68k a few days ago

kawaii neko / inu

>can't clear the first boss floor because of bad rng
>second run gets a good start but dies immediately in a monster house
this smells like a kusoge

>>718088621
Smells like a mystery dungeon game.

Is DoD3 any good as a speedrun or is it just as shit as N:A?

>>718092297
Any run that uses NG+ probably isn't very good.

>>718092416
Good point. Nothing worth watching until godzilla, then.

Why’re Japanese so bad at speed running?

Oh hey, it's over. Viewcount dropped to 16k after the reset, impressive.

I really can't get into this without any of the classic nintendo games.

>>718095137
But they had a paw patrol run?

>>718095449
Ok?

>>718095137
There's more to vidya than bing bing wahoos.

>>718095624
I thought if you were into other games for children, you'd get more excited.

>>718095137
I don't think RTA had that many of them in the first place, and the ones that they had weren't really any different than the western runs. The Ring Fit runs were pretty memorable though.

>>718095680
But nintendo game speedrun scenes are always highly developed and competitve which almost guarantees an interesting run.

>>718095802
Stop projecting your own insecurities, bratbro.

>>718096038
It is what it is, I've enjoyed quite a few runs anyway and don't really miss Nintendo's stuff that much, hopefully Nintendo can be more flexible in the future though for those that do care a lot of about those games.

>>718095985
>I don't think RTA had that many of them in the first place
Scrap this, went back to the 2024 winter schedule and there were like 17 of them at a quick glance, though I'm not really sure what constitutes as a Nintendo game on this and what doesn't. Like does Kirby count when it's made by HAL?

The positive side is that we didn't get a SINGLE Pokemon run.

rape the dragon's VA

>those frame drops
Damn, the PStriple was a shit

>>718096506
I wonder if we wound up having more or less JRPG runs due to the ban.

>>718097052
Here's the submission list if you want to have a glance: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQ0UkvG4R0vno0OM-dRNKMfXB85lq3gM_dKDaqW2YR9rvXFf5ebckooSMiK-AcRWy1B2Rsp4Dvypp0o/pubhtml

>>718095137
I didn't notice a difference.

>Failed the skip enough times that he gave up on it
Shame.

I like Uchida Maaya's sultry voice.

The constant frame drops are amazing.

>>718099771
The power of the cell...

Da Cell...

>>718098794
>says that he practiced the skip for months and kept thinking up new strategies since he really wanted to show it off in RiJ
sadman

did they ban nintendo titles or something?

>>718100978
Nintendo sperged out and demanded they run every title by them first for permission, and it was late enough in the day that it made far more sense for RiJ to just ignore the Nintendo titles rather than accept them and hope that Nintendo gave them permission before the event started.

At 1:47:40, this was 4 seconds slower than the current WR for this category on console.
The emulated WR is over 20 minutes faster.

Etrian Odyssey II is up next

I think he's gonna show off "that" boss.

The trauma boss

>>718103506
>The emulated WR is over 20 minutes faster.
Is it just because the game runs at higher FPS? or do they use cheats?

>>718103735
According to the rules, the 60 FPS patch is banned, but it's probably because there isn't any frame drops or slowdown.

Sure looks like a JRPG boss

>>718103506
>would have WRd if he hit the skip
You know he's really sad about that. It was a good run regardless.

>>718103829
>but it's probably because there isn't any frame drops or slowdown.
Interesting, those frame drops in the run were insane for sure.

that last one is evil

>>718104234
The entire thing is evil.

>>718103975
He would've needed to hit it on the first try since he invalidated his run by skipping the early level cutscenes on the second try

etriam time
A reminder that it has been seven years since the next stage announcement and we still have nothing.

>>718104656
I didn't realize the crowd

>No commentary at all
Guess everyone will just have to feel out the RNG manipulation.

>>718104639
>No more games!
>>718104768
Based. Comfy Etrian sounds.

>>718060356 (OP)
RTA-chan is so ero-kawaii

>>718104768
I remember this guy's run last time, just rapid fire mashing for about an hour and some people thought it was a TAS. It's very nice.

>>718104893
I do imagine these games have an auto-skip by holding 2 buttons (I haven't played the HD collection, the 3DS games have it) but I'm pretty sure he mashes faster than it.

>>718104868
No more gays*
It's nice just being able to hear the music.
>>718104893
Yeah, I remember that too. I'm not sure this is actually a human.

>>718104639
every day i wake and the pain rushes as i remember next stage will never exist

I remember when the strat was grinding up 3 Alchemists to Eschathon him to death. Insta-killing him makes more sense.

>>718105373
Yeah, but instant death isn't reliable unless you know how to force it.

>>718104656
short hair sexo

>>718105439
I'm pretty sure that old route was also RNG manipulated so I wonder why it didn't just insta-death it. Maybe it wasn't and I'm just remembering a route before that even existed. Who knows?

None of this is interesting or fun to watch but have a bump for RTA-chan.

>no camera
>no commentating
dare i say sovl
too bad i need to fuck off to work

>>718105054
He flubbed entering one of the character names so I think he's human. Either way there's a beauty to the blisteringly fast inputs.

>>718105623
This is definitely for the EO fans.

>>718105681
>muh soul

>>718105551
It is a mystery to all.
On another note, I decided to check what else this guy has run.
>EO3HD
>EO2
>EO3
>7th Dragon
>Etrian Mystery Dungeon
>Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2
aaand he just instakilled another boss

>>718105741
sovvvl

I know it's a speedrun, but looking at the maps horrify me, with how little is filled in.

>>718106016
It's much worse on the DS runs with no automapping functions other than placing tiles. Nightmare fuel.

>>718105681
I remember a similar run during RTA Summer 2021, or was it Summer 2020
It was Pikmin 2 run and it was maximum comfy - no commentary or camera but still fun to watch

Artelinde and Wilhelm look pretty disappointing in HD.

he sacrificed RTA-chan to win...

this guy's inputs are so fast holy shit
the whole things almost looks like an assisted run, cool stuff

>>718097667
m-masaka
nopan!?

>>718105719
I'm an EO fan.
Speedruns are just boring because they skip all the cool parts.

>>718106831
But this is Ur-Child%.

F O E

So this is how you use Curse.

>>718060356 (OP)
ddid they just not dio teh nitnendo games?

>>718107228
The weakest ailment is the strongest with the weakest party.

>>718107303
Nyo, events like these will now need to ask permission to Nintendo to be able to feature their games, and since there wasn't enough time to do so they decided to replace the Nintendo games.

>No exp from FOEs and bosses
Was this the EO that did that so that people couldn't farm FOEs and bosses for exp, or is he deliberately stopping his party from getting exp? Been a long while since I played EO2

>>718107724
Yeah, EO2 just has FOEs giving 0 exp.

>>718107724
No EXP from FOEs but the bosses do give a lot more EXP than other EO games to make up for it somewhat.

I miss Petrify counting as instant death.

It's pretty funny how hard field skills break the post-game puzzles.

That was an awesome run. I didn't expect Curse to be the primary boss killer.

>just remembered that there's an etrian run today
>turn on the stream just in time to see ur-child kill himself on curse damage
I missed everything fuck

>>718108049
Physical violence against RTA-chan is punishable by instant death! FOEs and bosses in EO games aren't immune to this!

>never managed to beat Ur-Child in both original and remake EO2
>it was that piss easy to cheese every single boss

Not even mad. 10/10 run.

>>718106223
The game looks disappointing in HD, I understand that they needed to fit all screens in just one, but it looks too cluttered and the graphics even look like they were "updated" with very low effort.

>>718108251
To be fair, you do have to ensure that Curse lands somehow, and then you also need to take enough damage that the reflected damage works, which means being severely underleveled and undergeared, which you would never consider normally.

>>718108778
Even in the intermission, F.O.E!

>>718109576
Please kill me rta girl

>>718110180
You only need to hit her when cursed and then you'll die.

Or if it was a SMT/Persona run, just say yes when a pale RTA-chan asks you to Please Die For Me

Flower dies as it should

gojila

favourite godzilla monster?

>>718111394
Godzilla
there's a good reason he's the main character; it's because he's the best one.

>>718111394
Godzilla. Megalon is a close second though for those drill arms.

he's barely sweating on expert difficulty :/

tima stoppu

A minute over PB/WR, but a minute under #2.
There's only two times for this category.

Hey, if it works it works.

lol the mass timeout/bans in their chat

Two minute difference. I didn't think the gap would end up being that big.

>Nintendo threatened RTA but not any other speedrun events
Why would they do this to an event in their own country but not any others?

>Exhibition match between the runners goes 3-0
Well damn.

Train train
I love my station

>>718115024
Nintendo's legal team has to justify its own existence.

>>718115024
>threatened

Loving how upset game """journalists""" get at Nintendo.

>>718115891
Still a couple of hours before that. For now, we have trains. Feels odd seeing this after all the 電車でD runs they've had.

>train simulator
>with that shitty render distance
Fucking why?

>>718116057
You're playing as a conductor with very bad eyesight.

>>718116057
They did the best they could.

>>718115906
>We will take legal action if you display one of our games
What would you call it?

Densha de D mentioned. They want to multi-track drift.

>>718116290
Nintendo probably wanted a say as to when they were streamed, what sort of runs are allowed (glitched/glitchless) and probably some advertising as well

>>718115024
Japanese law doesn't consider streaming games with commentary to be fair use.

Apparently he just beat his PB.

Trains are pretty neat.

>>718119432
I rode one when I was a kid. It was fun.

Choo choo

tofu is prety neat

Minecrafto...

oh shit it's a race

F

>>718119781
and if they take a hit they have to start over with a random seed.

Has Japan fallen?

>>718120112
Random seed minceraft speedruns are cool, though.

That seemed like a good run.

Im predicting unfortunate choke

>>718121097
He just won, though.

Minecraft so easy that you can clear it in just under 17 minutes to get to the real endgame farming for Elytra

It's time.
The only way to escape is to ape.

I think one of the apes managed to escape the game

>>718118606
Any speed run of a Nintendo game is advertising for Nintendo

>>718121776
they're gonna capture it last

me on the left

someone needs to edit a screenshot to have the whole audience as monkeys

Did they speedrun through the schedule or why are we already at Ape Escape when the schedule says there should be a Densha de GO run right now?

>>718122169
refresh you dip

>>718122203
But if I refresh I'll lose my super rare old schedule without all the added backup runs

>>718121808
But glitched runs of Nintendo games are showing that Nintendo games aren't flawless, perfect games though

Uhhm, why are we not represented at this event?

>>718122169
Is this your first time watching RiJ? The schedule is never really accurate since they usually finish under estimate, even with the backup games getting added in.

When does Sakaya show up? She's from Ape Escape yeah?

>>718122681
Mage is so cute.

>>718122736
she's in ape escape 3

>>718123067
Oh...

>>718122945
True

Every time the guy in the monkey suit claps he does it overhead.

So this is the Sayaka thread?

>>718124687
Nice

>>718124687
Thanks this is perfect!

sayaka...

>>718124087
if Sayaka and RTA-chan fought who would win

>>718125779
RTA because her twintails are longer.

>>718125891
Girth beats length. Only hime-chan would be a close fight.

And the runner ran off to catch one last ape that escaped.

>>718126627
If only the intermission cam didn't break the kayfabe...

that looked like a close call

Might not watch the last 2 runs, it was a good week

sheesh

>>718127103
I might watch Skyrim just for the hell of it, but I'm skipping FF for sure.

>>718127018
This is a pretty appealing run with all the danger going on, even with the back up heal.

Famicom games are evil

you have to fight Grimice

Future USA may be wrecked by war, but the fast food industry continues to boom

>>718127970
In the end, it doesn't matter what happens, people still need to eat.

The runner is jesus, generating extra food from nothing.

>As you all know, we're running this all for a charity that aims to make sure everybody in impoverished places can eat their fill of delicious food.
>Anyways, let's keep making some random food with no care put into it.
This guy is a riot.

If this were a GDQ this guy would be banned from attending future events.
God I love RTA.

If it fills bellies and doesn't poison or kill them, they have no right to complain about the free food being given to them

This food truck is a giant OSHA violation on wheels

>>718129617
Nah it's fine, OSHA cleared it.

Fucking lmao

A man who has to keep serving food when it's still raw.

If they didn't want to eat raw meat wrapped in raw dough, they should've just gone to a different food truck.

Please work hard to keep the princess safe, Yumi-chan.

I think that horse is actually a goat, with how it can scale cliffs.

Nord horses are just built different, like mountain goats

In the hands of a speedrunner, this is all Todd's masterpiece amounts to in vanilla play

Getting hauled in for crimes several times is a funny trick.

>>718126193
What's she singing?

>>718132261
Whatever it is, she's going hard.

>>718132186
I want to be on the same bed as her.

Good, Skyrim's animations are a joke, those humans fighting those dragons looked comical.

>>718132668
I liked the dragon corpse ragdolling as they fought.

>>718078831
kek the absolute fucking state of localizers. That's the kind of translation I'd expect a kid to make. Or maybe they did it as a joke.

Looking right instead of both ways saves real time when crossing the street too.

Game crashed? Nice game, Todd.

>>718133056
cute!

>glitched marriage%
lol

Congratulations to the newlyweds.

Delving into ancient ruins and dungeons for weapons and armour? Don't need any of that to beat the game

suddenly katamari

2hu music? kissed by a rose?

here's the RTAchan art I liked enough to save, maybe someone else might want it
can get 99% of these just from using the #RTAちゃんかわいい hashtag on Xitter too
enjoy the FF run

>>718133717
I'm not gonna object, I like rolling stuff up

Can't believe this is the last run already.
>b-but-
It's the last run.

Why are there 2 threads.

>>718135753
meds
there aren't

>>718135753
One thread is for people who want to talk about 2 events at the same time, the other is for people who want to talk about RTA. To make a long story short, spergs.

>>718135557
But don't you enjoy the journey of a shrine maiden and thief deciding to become idols on their journey to find the Tidus of their dreams?

So why did Yuna decide to switch to guns?

>>718136320
Having spent some quality alone time with a man, she entered her rebellious stage and is now 'a different kind of girl'

>>718135753
All (or almost all) BSG posters are happy to merge threads. Some RTA posters would prefer their own thread, because BSG discussion typically takes up 80% of the thread, and if you're not watching BSG, that can be annoying to scroll through.

The reason to merge is because otherwise the threads will be "dead", which has never been an issue for RTA, but might be for BSG viewers who expect faster threads. Ultimately, it's a mismatch between western viewers who don't see the problem with merging threads because they hop between streams for boring runs, and NEET JSLs who just want to watch a single event.

>>718136860
There's really no need to combine them to begin with. If I want to talk about RTA while I'm watching it, I would like the rest of the posts to be about it. Similarly it's easy to hop over to the BSG thread.

>>718137014
While true from our standpoint, the problem is that BSG posters see it as "they're both events, I can watch both, why aren't you watching both too?", and then this gets exacerbated by a schizo who got really upset about being told to make his own thread to talk about BSG. So you wind up with someone getting baited into making a merged thread, and then all the BSG posters moving over.

Fucked with the cutscene so hard the controls broke.

Game crash, mercy kill it.

>>718137228
Back in my day, we had forum topics, and there would have been a BSG topic, and an RTA topic, and you would have seen all the same people posting in both of them, but it was so much nicer for cleanly categorizing discussion of the things.

>>718137513
Imageboards lose a lot of the bloat, but they're vulnerable to schizos. Without a name the schizo can't be spotted on sight and purged, and without names for everyone else the schizo can delude himself into believing that only 1 person is against him and so he's on a noble crusade.

This kind of thing is where moderation should come in, but expecting a mod on 4chan to understand anything other than "huh, there are people arguing, I should delete the thread" is a bridge too far.

>>718137513
Go back to forums then, there's still a lot around

>Freeze
I wonder how many times he's gonna have to restart the game by the end.

>>718139009
Modern PCs still can't compete with the emotion engine.

Why does Bahamut stand like that

The only good thing to come out of FFX was that Rikku flash game.

>>718140683
Wrong, we also got Wakka.

>Rikku and Paine suicide bombing bosses
I wasn't expecting this strategy.

>>718141260
I literally can't think of FFX anymore without that stupid Wakka meme MAD popping in my head.

>>718141509
It's a really funny one.
>>718141623

>>718140683
That game is a classic. Foundational, even.

>Game audio has to be muted
>Runner sings instead
Every time. When Dirge of Cerberus was run the same thing happened.

>>718142301
Is it a DMCA thing or incentive?

>>718142338
It's clearly twitch's content matching bullshit.

You have to admit though, he's not half bad.

I just realized, the guy playing right now did the commentary for the Dirge of Cerberus run a few years back.

stream ded?

It's joever

>>718142952
The horrid boss RNG killed the stream.

Welp, I guess that's it.

R-chan is nicely asking everyone to wait patiently.

>streaming PC bluescreened
Bet they're running W11.

>>718144241
>Missing the flying slime

>almost over estimate
RiJ is too lax now, they used to mercy kill runs left and right.

>>718144765
Flying Slime is flying out of frame. It's there.

>>718144821
>Flying slime gets to the castle while everyone else is too busy posing for the drawing
Flying slime was the true MVP

While it is a RTA, just from watching FFX-2, I still have no idea what the story is about other than Yuna and the girls became idols to bring Tidus back

>>718145094
It's about the power of jihad, judging from how much suicide bombing there's been.

So is this actually about Yuna getting cucked or something, or is it because this is a normal or perhaps even bad end?

As long as they don't import the third world. In Minecraft.

How come japan even cares about those nigger countries?

>wake up
>it's the ending speech
Meh

Time to wait until christmas for the speedruns events to start up again

>>718145992
I have a feeling there's forces at place that is slowly trying to pozz them. Through things like video game tourneys to big corporation incentives. You can already see it through anime and games self censoring for "global sensitivities"

>>718145992
They don't, the way charity events work is that the people who organise the event get kickbacks from the charity. MSF are one of the worst charities around in terms of investment return for individuals, but if you're hosting an event, they're the charity to pick because they're very happy to give you a large portion of the money you raised back so you'll keep the contract with them next event.

If it was an actual charity event, they'd be donating to Japanese charities. It isn't, the goal is making money, so they give to a fake charity.

>>718146146
>If it was an actual charity event, they'd be donating to Japanese charities.
Strangely enough, I've never considered this. Good point.

I dunno, depends on how transparent their finances are. All I know is that RTAInJapan has always had Médecins Sans Frontières as their charity target for years now, even before COVID.

>>718146262
The whole charity thing is very corrupt. MSF are actually well rated, they spend 14 dollars for every 100 bucks they raise, so that means RiJ is probably getting a kickback of between 8-12% of what they raised this year, which is 10 million yen, so the staff are making about 7000 dollars off the event. Which isn't a lot for a week of work divided up among half a dozen guys, but they probably wouldn't be able to run the event with a real charity, which will typically give you a 1-3% kickback, or 1-2 grand for this event.

>>718146462
7000 is enough to pay for the event venue for three days and about nothing else.

See you in four months.

Why didn't they play any Nintendo games?

but who's GABAさん

>>718146679
>Christmas Day to New Year's Eve
Nani

>>718146693
because Nintendo came in like a day before the event and went SHUT IT DOWN

>>718146739
GABAさ...

>>718146679
bruh
>>718059530
>>718059530
>>718059530

Now that it's over, I can finally return to having a more consistent sleep schedule again instead of watching until I pass out, wake up and repeat for the past couple of days

GG

>>718146679
Does winter overlap with any other events? I hope not.

>>718146693
They said they'll be back next event, Nintendo just blindsided them this time.

>>718146798
Not everyone is watching every speedrunning event anon.

>>718146798
Buddy, RTA just ended. There's no reason to have a thread now. And I'm not going to use your schizo thread, anyways.

RTA-chan sex

>>718146859
He's getting nervous because his thread is on page 9 and the "merged" thread has less posts than the one for a single event.

lots of assuming going on

>>718146986
I appreciate you waiting for the event to end before you started shitposting this time. I know that took a lot of restraint.

>>718146679
I might be able to go to this, time to hastily learn some nip.

Time to watch all the shit I missed like Bomberman and Barbie. See you fags on winter.

>>718147275
At least wearing the enforced mask won't overheat you if you go in winter. I feel bad for the summer viewers.

>>718147357
>Barbie
Save your soul, go no further. Bomberman was a good run though.

>>718147423
Anon, they're fucking indoors. It's probably air conditioned.

>switch over to BSG
>He/Him
>close stream

>>718147423
>anon will self combust if he wears a mask
kek

>>718146693
Because they didn't ask for permission.
