Hands down, some of the best couch commentary I've seen on this run. They sound like professional sports commentators the way they explain the tricks as it's happening
i absolutely adore the way some speedrunners name certain techniques. some of them are like: "okay, so what im gonna do is squeeze in this wall where it will try to find me and end up ejecting me from said wall at a high speed towards the end of the level. we call this 'the poopy butt stank mcdank skip.'"
I feel like Ganon doesn't get enough love in the comments - I love having her on the couch and loved her run in 2022! She's lots of fun and gives great commentary! I always come back to this run when I need something to watch, there's just so much to enjoy about it.
Idk who SpikeVegeta was until I randomly watched him rap a random Rayman 2 song and since then he's been my favorite commentator. Love his enthusiasm and rapport
I watched a lot of SMO speedruns the first few years. It’s awesome to see how many improvements have continued to develop even this late into the speedrun’s life. Awesome run Dangers, and thanks GDQ for hosting!
Everyone’s talking about good run, but no credit to the football announcer for every move and on point energy for the best speed run hype man in the back!
Obviously, hitting EVERY single trick in a marathon with no resets is as cool as it is unlikely to happen, and definitely a handful of misses here, but the back-up strategies and overall quality of movement, still very fun to watch.
Haven't watched the whole thing yet, do they ever explain why he's playing the game in Chinese? I've heard of people playing the original Japanese versions of games because the text goes faster, but I've not heard of people playing Chinese versions as a speedrunning strat.
It's for the same reason in this game Japanese (or any other language) has a couple more textboxes than Chinese most likely so they set the language to Chinese to save time
Notably it's not a different version in this case it's a language setting so they're using the digital/international version but in Chinese language settings
Not 100% sure, but I assume it’s due to the fact the strategy is based on real-life time (daylight savings specifically) since the moon on Sand Kingdom for the potted plant only appears after 20 minutes IRL. In Animal Crossing, events are based on real life time too, and thus you could change your Switch’s time to fast forward those events, similar to how it’s done in this run.
Skipping time for in game advantages. Instead of waiting for seasonal events everyone would just change the switch's date and time to access them early lol.
It's a joke on how you can "cheat" in Animal Crossing by changing the system clock, thereby advancing timelocked events. You abuse the system clock to advance golden seeds in Mario Odyssey in a similar vein
In animal crossing, people often change their system’s clock forward/back (because animal crossing uses the system clock for a bunch of events, such as new years, the player’s birthday etc) for a certain event(s). So they were poking fun/mentioning the people that do that because they change the clock for daylight savings time for the seed in sand kingdom
I was good with the first like two bruh's and then it got really annoying lol 😆 and this is a really tough run, I can't believe a the whole game about an hour that is a lot faster than I expected!

Danger has that quality in his voice that just radiate calmness!
And then you have Vegeta in the back.
That's funny for a guy called "Danger"
"Ayo, on MAIN?" That made me cackle.
I had to look the term up first, but then I cackled. :D

The rare dino skip skip skip. Truly a sight to behold.

I have just one word to describe this run...
Bruh
This was SUCH a fun run! Dangers is such a great addition to the GDQ events. Yes chef! (Breh!)
Amazing vibe with Dangers, Ganon and SpikeVegeta. Love these runs and these guys! Awesome job chef!
Idk who SpikeVegeta was until I randomly watched him rap a random Rayman 2 song and since then he's been my favorite commentator. Love his enthusiasm and rapport
That save at the start of Lost Kingdom... goddamn
This was so great to watch live. One of my favorite games to watch Speedrun!
the transition into the countdown was awesome. edit: i did not account for the rest of the run

I watched a lot of SMO speedruns the first few years. It’s awesome to see how many improvements have continued to develop even this late into the speedrun’s life. Awesome run Dangers, and thanks GDQ for hosting!
Most expensive chefs suit ever
Beautiful run and excellent commentary. A pleasure to watch
Mario speedruns are always so satisfying
true dat
im so suprised the bruhs just got funnier
What a great run, couch & crowd!! Awesome job Dangers, you should be proud!
this is one of the most adrenaline fueled speedruns i have ever seen, and the couch and crowd made it even more incredible
Amazing runner, amazing couch. Gotta love SGDQ
I love Dangers voice
Mario Odyssey has the magical trait of bringing in unbelievable levels of hype, happy to see Spike on the couch for this again as well ❤
I totally missed the live thinking it would be held on June :(
Well, time to watch 40h of VODs, so happy to have a live audience again
What an amazingly entertaining run and commentary!
Such a fun run! Dangers is very entertaining to watch
Me: Spike really sounds like a football commentator
23:03
Gdq with the god tier chapters 🙌
Thank god this is back

Great commentary and energy
Such a good commentator, great energy!
Great run, this game was made for speed running!
Not sure what I love more: the players abilities or spikes comments
Bruh this run was really smooth
Loved the run
37:37 incentive met
46:20 YIPPEE!!!
I lost it when he put on the apron lmao
Everyone’s talking about good run, but no credit to the football announcer for every move and on point energy for the best speed run hype man in the back!
21:44 killed me
Most composed runner yet! Great commentary and vibe
I love that you can progress without doing any of the story in most maps
Dangers = Legend (bruh)
Man, SpikeVegeta is great on the couch
thank you chef
Amazing commentary like seriously wow that's a real talent. Great run too Dangers was super classy and his movement is mesmerizing.
thank you spike for the bruh
Very clean presentation
Love this game and the speed strats. How do i practice movement though?
Check the SMO SRC page for guides and the forum.
Watched this live and i was so psyched. Dangers might be my favorite speedrunner and Odyssey is literally visual ASMR.

Probably the same

24:10 ???? What?
MOON
sad they couldn't get a dino skip skip runner in.
I miss the clapping :(
Can someone tell me what he means by an “Animal Crossing strategy” at the very start of the video?
Not 100% sure, but I assume it’s due to the fact the strategy is based on real-life time (daylight savings specifically) since the moon on Sand Kingdom for the potted plant only appears after 20 minutes IRL.

Setting the time, and jumping time back/forth to get what you need. A lot of content in Animal Crossing is timelocked to day/night/season cycles.
In animal crossing, people often change their system’s clock forward/back (because animal crossing uses the system clock for a bunch of events, such as new years, the player’s birthday etc) for a certain event(s). So they were poking fun/mentioning the people that do that because they change the clock for daylight savings time for the seed in sand kingdom
