[@Synbiosis]

Watching them finish the run shake hands then immediately start talking strategies with one another made me feel really good and fuzzy inside.

[@Krc125]

BurntWings Mario odyssey has a really friendly speedrunning community

[@bex2]

The couch was great on this run

[@olivermisbach2454]

Only in speedrunning do you get quotes like, "That was a nice cheese-less there".

[@Ultracity6060]

"He's gonna have to reposition this turnip."

[@smk7500]

And then you also have things like, "The couch was really informative during this run."

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

It's a really vegan run, what can I say?

[@ghee316]

"The double poke, That was hot, that was hot"- Couch 2018

Fir and nicroveda in smo with spike on the couch, How did I just find this now and not 2 years ago

[@organ1zedcha0s67]

At 30:44 they say it is homage to Super Mario Sunshine... Wouldnt it be to Super Mario 64 in Shifting Sand Land when Kelpto (the same bird) steals Mario's hat? Sorry, just a fact check.

[@ponodude101]

Yeah that's exactly what it is. The Cappy-less scarecrow rooms are more reminiscent of the sunshine levels.

[@austinschmidt8228]

I believe trihex was comparing the two because both of them are part of the game when your main movement and mechanics are gone. In sunshine the fludd is taken so it’s just platforming, similar to this section taking your hat

[@Smallant]

Hey! They talked about me! Thanks guys!

[@akira6096]

Deservedly so! Your tutorials have helped me a lot :)

[@darcyrose4079]

That was a master class on how to jump in this game! Enjoyed the commentary and the runs!

[@arizonamadegamer9994]

Spike & Trihex on commentary? Ohhhh yeah

[@yalebass]

They both did an AMAZING job!!

[@DJPRS]

[@jetbeetleii1409]

[@christian6911]

I've beat the game and these two guys are gods. The skills shown are beyond epic.

[@smk7500]

Yep, and they can do most of it consistently which is amazing

[@jordonbrewer1231]

Great couch commentary guys.

[@smrtt9567]

So, wouldn't GDQx be Games Done Quick Done Quick?

[@ronster1703]

Didn't they make that joke at the start of the event?

[@netteletten2027]

Big boy commentary right here.

[@4EverPhun]

Lol Fir is glancing at Nicro's screen like all the time.

[@alecsjoholm3970]

Canonically, it's Ty-foo, not "Blowy-Joey".

[@deanmarshallshalabi]

I prefer Blowy-Joey

[@crumche]

forever calling it Blowy-Joey from now on
exponentially better than Ty-foo

[@alphaomegagiant]

You saw it here first people, Joycons are better than the pro controller! :D

[@deegobooster]

Trihex our leader

[@TheLilPorkChop]

[@LightSilver7]

[@owensgameroom4044]

[@smk7500]

[@alecsjoholm3970]

[@TacSmash]

These boys are good. o_o

[@2911oscar]

under an hour when

[@ToadR0XMK]

Well only one person has a sob under an hour.

[@smk7500]

@@ToadR0XMK No, you probably didn't listen correctly. In this they said someone had a time of around 1:00:55, which was the first sub 1:01:00.

[@DrGandW]

I’m upset he called Honeyridge caves tedious :/

[@noemiej.marquis732]

"This is still anyone's race" repeated so often. Fir_ has been way ahead since the first minute !

[@icy_rane]

Matt M. he was about 10-15s ahead for more than half the run :p just the fact that he lost 20s by falling from that one boss would’ve been enough for nicro to catch up if he hadn’t messed up the second half a bit more. It’s a really small difference

[@guthetanuki256]

Ever since the first cutscene skip Nicroveda was a little late on pausing to skip so it prompted him to be behind and it just got bad as the run went on as he continued to lag behind.

[@bihrivage]

I'm curious and would love an answer if possible. Since this is run in Japanese, why are some elements in English? I know there is a logical reason. :)

[@BJGvideos]

Because peppering stuff with English is seen as cool.

[@purpleduracell]

They explain it around 12:35 . It's for speed mostly.

[@Greennoob2]

I wish this couch was more involved in the speedrun route. idc that they’re positive commentstors if they’re just winging it a bit. Still much better than no commentator

[@wed3972]

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Aah, poor Nicro had the worst run. He's so much better than that.

[@j-p-m]

Joy cons reign supreme
