The only way to have a race where someone doesn't get an advantage and keeps it, is a RNG based game...which is lame! It's not only on RNG based games. Perfect execution is far harder in some games than it is in others, like Castlevania was really back and forth and it had little to do with RNG, it's mostly about the movement in each screen. Then you have games like SMW where both runners get virtually the same time on every level and one mistake early on can make the race kinda boring. | ||

Still makes me a little sad, though, to see these guys who are literally top 5 in this game, ending up being in "last place", and not being given much attention. | ||

So they wanted to do it! Also yeah I agree being last place when you're one of the best as the game sucks  not a whole lot you can do about it though. The DK64 race was good about keeping focus on both players, I think it kind of depends on the runners/couch crew to keep them all in the spotlight!On January 10 2014 07:52 FueledUpAndReadyToGo wrote: I wonder if Skyrim will be fun. It's interesting for sure, lots of terrain glitching! The whole run is does as a naked orc too, I liek to imagine what goes through people's heads when they see a fucking naked ass orc running around with a sword shouting about dragons Also BUCKET JUMPS | ||

Also there are only about 3 PC single segment runners who are really good, Zubmit, Floubz and Ovendonkey. ddaanniieell has only been playing for a few months, so he really doesn't have the experience of the others. | ||

DK64 has so much weird stuff you ussually have something to talk about on the second try, while in others games it's just "and here comes a trick where he does this. He got it, clap, clap." And yeah, the biggest issue with runs is having two or more even runners, and that's not easy, so it's not like you can be too picky about the game. Like I'm sure Fzero GX could be an awesome game for racing, with all the risky strats and hard optimizations, but you would have to make CGN wait 30s in each race to make the race fair. I personally think even "bad" games for races are fine, they are not often worse than a single person running it and they still have the chance of being good races. | ||
