Wow, loads of new titles I've not seen before, and that Megaman relay could look like a clusterfuck. Still enough oldies but goodies to keep me interested, the downside is all the Mario titles being on when I'm asleep lol. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on the VOD list.

We have such different tastes. The games you talk about are probably fun but the majority of them I'll never give a shot unless it is the run of the event.

I am more interested in random stuff such as Star Wars - Escape from Yavin 4: The Lost Maps and Tetrisphere.

Maybe some nice FPS in Doom. Sadly RPGs generally suck in speed running since half the thing or more is the plot and atmosphere. Fun to watch to see how they break it if you know the game, not much fun otherwise.

Things that are execution heavy in playing the game instead of frame perfect skipping it could probably be fun to watch more than one of. Bayonetta 2 and Ninja Gaiden II being examples of that.

Might watch Fire Emblem: Three Houses since I recently played it. Don't really like the Fire Emblem speed runs though, same problem as with RPGs for me. Added on that it is a problem solving genre and seeing the solution isn't as fun as finding it.

Generally speaking I guess I am not very much into speed runs but tune in a bit here and there.

He kind of self-destructed during Star Wars - Escape from Yavin 4: The Lost Maps. Still fun run and interesting game.

A very good friend of mind, ByteMe, is going to do a DOOM (2016) Nightmare 100% run at ADGQ this Monday 6th, 9:17 pm EDT (= Tuesday 7th, 03:17 am CET)
I will be on the couch for him for commentary alongside KingDime (a classic doom Speedrunner legend) as well as Bryonator who also is a big Speedrunner.

Nice! I am looking forward to this run quite a bit. The previous DOOM 2016 runs have been any% so basically all the combat was skipped. I hope the 100% has a bit more fighting!

A lot of my favorite games to watch are ones I grew up playing, so that my experiences of learning how to play them (through practice and frustration) and thinking that I'm decent at them turns into awe and being super impressed at the speedrunners who have truly perfected the techniques and shortcuts needed to master the games. It's harder for me to truly have a mind = blown appreciation for a game that I'm really unfamiliar with, although the couch commentators often times do a really good job of explaining things and building hype, and I always try to watch all the VODs so that I can give every game and speedrunner a fair chance

Good luck to you, the rest of the commentary couch, and ByteMe!

Yeah, DOOM (2016) 100% consists of pure combat, at least from level 3 onwards because of “Combat Rating” which tracks killed demons. However, this allows us to skip a few fights in the first two levels. Also, there will be no out of bounds or Rail Boosts etc. (or in general what I refer to as “any% tech”).

Thank you!
Also, the schedule changes once again. The DOOM run is scheduled to 9:59 EDT now (3:59 CET). Better check the schedule yourself for any runs you want to watch.

I would love to share some pictures from here but it keeps telling me files are too large (I am on phone only)

The schedule's times (thankfully) update quite often on that page, as always

Looking forward to the Doom run and eventually pictures!
