If all runners died in the Super Metroid race in AGDQ 2015, then that would be classified as horrible

Watch out when they face Phantoon (I assume this is not some 100% race), that's where they may GG

Super metroid isn't my cup of tea but it is surprising they include such a marathon unsafe game every year just because of that one donation bid war (Which i'm fairly certain doesn't bring in nearly as much money as people think it does)

God dam, after 1 hour 44 mins it came down to the final level. 1 mistake from cheese and he choked.

Amazing run from all 3 though.

Great race. I feel for cheese but it made the race ending epic.

Agdq 2015 had less donation money than this sgdq so far. The 1,5 Million included Humble bumble money for example. Not sure if they have something like this currently. If yes it's possible to top Agdq2015

Save or Kill the animals Super Metroid The classic. $303,349.47

From their bid index; so it almost brought in 1/3'rd of all the money. I think that's quite alot.

Yeah... Save/Kill brings in a fuck ton of money, no question.

Edit: I'd guess that the only thing people pull for harder are bonus games/runs, because that's content. Save/Kill is easily JUST second to stuff like that and it's entirely "cosmetic."

A lot of that comes down to runner's choice / The Yette etc and a lot of people argue that the money would be donated anyway but to other donation incentives. Save / Kill is just the general "I don't know where to put the money" dump. It probably brings in some money but it certainly doesn't bring in 300k

Super Metroid is also kind of the speedrunning game. It's really the first game where people got together to find movement tricks, optimized routing, etc. all just to get the in-game clock down as low as possible, and is still one of the few old favourites that doesn't having clipping/out-of-bounds or wrong warps.

People are arguing about this? o.o

Well, I mean, I would think there would just be more "runner's choice, put wherever" donations without bid wars. It's part of the fun to take a side. Plus, unlike a lot of other bid wars (name choice), it does impact the speedrun time. I don't know, I never heard people speak about it like it's an issue before. Haha.

Edit: Only other post I made in this thread was a possible "answer" to your question on why the chat isn't sub only. Guess you just know how to get my attention. lol

Haha i've just watched so many GDQs and been around long enough that i've gotten tired of a lot of the staples in a GDQ and would rather they take a break from them and I know a lot of speedrunners share my opinion that a lot of the big marathon staples kind of need to take a break at this point (Hell anything sony was lacking for a pretty long time). Its very much a speedrunner complaint than a general viewer complaint.

I mean name choices do effect the speedrun time in a lot of games. Hell it effects pokemon a lot more than it does Metroid and yet there isn't the huge hype around the dead frames there (plus in cannon the animals survive no matter what you do so you don't even need to physically save them to save them)
