(Direct copy and paste from my post here: http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=2243 )



EDIT: IT IS NOW A DRINKING GAME. DRINKING RULES:
    If another player gets K-O-N-G, you must drink

    When you pass a level, you drink


    If you game over, you must finish your drink


    if you run out of drinks before you finish your race, you are disqualified

[/SIZE]
Welcome to the Australian National Championships of Donkey Kong Country.
[image loading]


[/SIZE]Tonight, four of the best Australian gamers will be competing in this years official Donkey Kong Country race on SNES emulators, kicking off at 9:30pm AEST (8:30 Korean/teamliquid time) tonight, and it's shaping up to be an event not to miss.


The Rules:
    All players must have a livestream (of which there will be a 'central' stream, which will have all four streams displayed along with commentary from all 4 players plus whoever else is in the TA teamspeak channel)
    All players must be in teamspeak for the duration of the race
    All players must reset their emulators at 9:30 AEST together as counted-down in teamspeak.
    All players must say atleast 3 derogatory comments to each other player in the race before they finish or they will be disqualified.
    Use of the 'save state' function, or any emulator function that you would not be able to do in a snes is considered cheating.
    Use of the 'warp glitch' is not allowed.
    The first player to defeat the final boss is considered the winner.


The Competitors:
Cameron 'TAEdgE' Murrin
[image loading]
"Oh he does that? I do that too! I like him, i feel better now."


Our first competitor should be no stranger to the SC2SEA community. Coming 2nd in the first ever SC2SEA SEASL and playing as TA's clutch player in their amazing, outstanding, incredibly, holy-shit-those-guys-are-awesome win in the SEA Clan League, he is sure to bring his clutch ability to the country of donkey kongs in this intense race.

Strengths:
Ability to pick up games fast
Quick learner
Good hand eye co-ordination
Strong under pressure

Weaknesses:
Has never played Donkey Kong Country
Has no experience speed running
Has no controller and must use keyboard.


Odds: 10-1


Maxwell 'TAKrUnch' O'Callaghan
[image loading]
"ummmm, whats up?"


TAKrUnch, a grandmaster level zerg player who rates rather highly within the ranks of TA, is no stranger to Donkey Kong Country or hardship, having suffered much rage at the hand of TAEdgE over HoN disputes, he will definitely have motivation to defeat Cameron in this and achieve the title of greatest Australian Donkey Kong Country player.

Strengths:
Only player to have 100%'d Donkey Kong Country.
Has completed Donkey Kong Country and it's sequals multiple times
Determined to prove he's "Not crap at every game"

Weaknesses:
Crap at every game
Voice does not match his picture
No speedrunning experience
No controller and must use keyboard.


Odds: 4-1


Timothy 'TAcosmic' Roots
[image loading]

"Fifty-three Thousand"

A big fan of speedruns and a talented zerg player for TA, Mr.Roots will be looking to take his experience in speed running Donkey Kong Country 2 and apply it to the original game to take home the gold in this event. The Odds-on favorite, he'll definitely be the competitor to beat.

Strengths:
Experience speedrunning Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3
Very experienced in mechanics of the Donkey Kong Series
Has a lot of experience in retro-gaming
Has an awesome last name

Weaknesses:
Thinks Super Mario Bros 2 is actually a good game
Has never played Donkey Kong Country 1 before
Has no controller and will have to use the keyboard
Looks too smug in his picture

Odds: 3-1

Jonathan 'JP$' Pinder
[image loading]

"Cosmic if you use savestates I'm going to kill you"

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. This player has an adept knowledge of speedruns and is a respected and highly regarded member within the speedrun community.
With his successes as a professional Mario64 speedrunner, Pinder knows what it means to race against the clock. With his analytical mind and ability to solve problems on the fly, Pinder will be coming into this as a fan favourite.

Strengths:
Extremely talented Mario64 speedrunner.
Great decision maker
Excellent memory when rehearsing runs
Has a controller, not required to use keyboard
Has exceptional jawline and cheekbones

Weaknesses:
Unfamiliar with the DKC franchise
Overconfident at times leading to poor decisions
Can fold under pressure

Odds: 4:1




Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/cosmicxo (All four racers in split-screen style)


So who will take hold the golden banana? Who will collect the most K-O-N-G's? Who will haunt diddy kong the most by having his father die infront of him over and over and who will rage quit the race before even finishing? Tune in tonight and find out and be sure to leave us a comment below with who you're cheering for and why!

It all sounds very exciting, Pinder, but there's one question that still puzzles me:

Were you in Moonraker?

Some of the barrel levels are hard if you've never played the game before, lol. Good luck, competitors.

Cosmic's stream is hilarious. He's learning that a 'speed run' in Donkey Kong Country requires patience.

Edit: Split screen is pretty neat, gj.
