Cheers! Never would have guessed Octopath and Red Alert 3 would be that interesting to watch!
Looking back at that BOTW speedrun makes me really curious about how the sequel is gonna be like.
Oh, I also really liked the Kirby 64 run.
Glover and Mort the Chicken were pretty funny.
And both Dark Souls runs I would reccomend!

Star Fox 64
Zombies Ate My Neghbors
Mort the Chicken
SMW Kaizo Blind Relay
Big the Cat
Marble Madness
And the greatest run... of all time....
Wii Punch Out blindfolded
Insane how quick the donations are coming in now.
I truly thought that 300K was waaaaay to much to reach but now its sooo close amazing :D

BTW, of those I've watched, I definitely second the Wii Punch-Out run, that was incredible.
I also recommend both Dark Souls (DS1 and DS2) runs if you're a fan of the series, it's humbling and exhilarating to see those games pretty much turned into EZ NO RE mode.
And Resident Evil 2 Remake was fun as hell, too. Some moments were really tense but the runner pulled through.

Really wish the OoT run was literally any other category. Guess I can hope that they just didn't tag it as such and it's glitchless any%, amirite?
A lot of monies for a sub 20 minute warp.
.....guess it could be a worse category.

That's kinda what I'm worried about. I've not seen it, so it's possible it's absolutely mind-blowing and "worth" it, but 300k for 17-18mins is a very high money/minute ratio and I think some might be disappointed.
Will see how much they push for it. Normally a good indicator of how "destined" it is on the big amounts.
Edit: considering their estimate is over the current 100% glitcheless WR and it's being run by that WR holder, I'd say there is a good chance of it being met.

Well I will not spoil it for you as it is pretty impressive/unique. My dislike of the category is in comparison to other categories and a general dislike of "super glitched skip everything" runs/personal preference and not an indicator of the actual quality of the run.
Edit: derp, meant to add this to last post but hit post without thinking.
Link to the Past + Super Metroid Combo Randomizer is like some bullshit you would hear on the playground that the kid swears is a thing in Japan and coming next summer.
It is just bonkers to me where romhacking is at, and that it is relatively painless to get running on original hardware.

I'm kind of hoping they have an incident like their GDQExpress run, where the LttP boots don't show until near the very end of the run, lol
I wonder how Narcissa is doing.
(Edit: Went to look up that Ocarina speedrun history video the runner mentioned at the end of his run, and naturally it's misgendering and deadnaming Narcissa throughout. Just a fantastic community.)

The WRs for 100% glitchless are already around 5:25, so I wouldn't be surprised if they already took it into account when planning the slot. I mean, it's the end of a massive event so I guess they can't just suddenly make it 2 hours longer than they said before. Any% records are closer to 2.5 hours, but those aren't glitchless, so tbh I'm not sure but it's likely somewhere in the middle.
From what I can tell the Estimate they're showing isn't the Any%, it's the 100%.
Cause Any% Glitchless is like 3 hours.
so wait, this isn't a race? i don't quite understand the co-op part, since it doesn't seem like it's syncing their boards.
EDIT: or maybe it is, just takes a bit? still confused ultimately.

Yeah I don't understand and they haven't really explained. Is this a race?
This is super interesting but they did a terrible job explaining what's happening. Going 10 minutes before explaining the goal isn't great.
The randomizer is cool in theory, but really needs great personalities to keep me interested. This couch seems pretty solid so far, which is nice.
As far as I know: The key-items are in different locations. Every chest could potentially hold such an item.
Randomizer mods apply a patch to a ROM/game data that typically mixes up the locations of every item in the game. Sometimes stuff like enemy drops/positions are also mixed up too.
There's usually logic implemented so that the game isn't rendered unbeatable (for example, a Dark Souls randomizer would not place the Lordvessal behind an orange fog gate), but sometimes "unbeatable" means "unbeatable when taking glitches into account".
This particular mod combines Link to the Past and Super Metroid into one game (two games that have popular individual randomizer mods), with items for each game split across the two, and the ability to switch between which game is "active". You can read more about it here: https://samus.link/
Wow that's amazing lol.
