Ouch. Do they ever break records at AGDQ?
It has happened before, but it's not really something you expect. Runs are often safer and slower in a marathon.

Which is why Werster's run is gonna be fun. Marathon luck is bad enough, but marathon luck in Pokemon is horrendous. | ||

Do they ever break records at AGDQ? IIRC didnt Toufool break the Diddy Kong Racing WR at SGDQ last year? Its rare but happens once in a while, usually when a big discovery is found around the time of the marathon | ||

Even wtihout any new findings or routechanges, at least 5 minutes can be saved from the current WR Wonder if he's found time to practice the brand new helmaroc. I haven't even had a chance to see it yet. | ||
