This run is super cool. I love speedruns that require the runner to actually know the game and not just their run. It's often that I see runners getting destabilized when their routing is disturbed because they have no idea how to do things normally. Seeing a run that require you to adapt on the fly is really nice.
I think it's a lot more interesting to see how complicated and exact a route can get, with people pushing each other to execute highly specific inputs. But this type of run is certainly less common, so it doesn't hurt to have it around.
+Louie Salmon - Both sides have their pros and cons, and both are very interesting to watch, in different ways. As a fighting game player, I most certainly have a ton of respect for the insane input control these runners have, but as Laezar said, it's also pretty cool to see someone be able to react and adapt due to knowledge of the game as well as the run.
Yoshi's Island is sort of a dead category now, as far as I can tell, but one thing I liked when it was really competitive was that every runner would come in with their own styles - which meant that when mistakes happened, they could still rally and get good times. Like the poster said above, I think there's something nice about both styles - really tight sequencing and people being adaptable. I wouldn't mind seeing "adaptable" speed runs more though - and I wonder if maybe someone could invent some sort of category to make it more frequent.
This runner, commentary couch and even announcer were all a delight to watch and listen too. Fantastic commentary and seemingly kind and wholesome people, I love it
Couch guy on the left is probably the ideal couch commentator. Doesn't interject when it's unnecessary, has charisma and can speak without being awkward or shy and most importantly, knows the game well and can explain long things really well when the runner is too busy to explain
@432prohis speedrun of Silent Hill 3 was legendary. If you haven’t watched it, watch it all the way til the end for a wholesome unexpected surprise lol
I really love how the announcer does a great job at reading the donations!! And her voice is really soothing to listen. I don't know who she is, but cheers to her for being an amazing part of this amazing run!!
Carci is probably one of the greatest speedrunners, both technically and personality-wise. So easy to watch and enjoy. Thanks again for this amazing run Carci!
I keep coming back to this run every couple months just because of how entertaining it was. Easily top 3 all-time in my book along with HeyZuesHeresToast's Bloodborne run from this same AGDQ and Bryonato's Titanfall 2 run from SGDQ 2019
Personally I loved the fact that it was a stressful run. We got to see him route on the fly, deal with unexpected dangers, and STILL come out on top. Plus it looked like the game actually scared him once or twice!
Survival horror games, particularly RE and SH, are notoriously difficult to break. This game is a lot less rigid with how you have to progress than other titles, but still a very tight game.
This was so good! Wish I caught it live. Commentary was both helpful and funny, and the runner's adaptations made it seem very fluid and not mechanical. THANKS!!
I underestimated just how hard that fight with Mia was going to be until I just started playing on Madhouse. Absolutely insane how many bullets she can take to the face.
Old comment I know, but also wanna point out that most box drops are random, so having to improvise what weapons you have ammo for and whatnot is all important, and this had an uncharacteristically high amount of shotgun ammo to the point where handgun ammo was dry. There was enough unexpected rng to mess up lesser runners, so it's even more impressive how simple he makes it look after the Mia fight (which goes so incredibly south most runs would've ended in a reset or death right there)
I think holistically this is my favourite run, commentary is great, chemistry between everyone is awesome. I still come back to watch this in the background every once in a while
Here’s a Louisiana fun fact: Louisiana has more swamplands than anywhere else in the world combined with the biggest swamp being Honey Island. And apparently, according to local legends, a monster lives there but I need some confirmation about that.
Ive rewatched this speed run so many times. Everything was great in it. Seat edging gameplay, great runner, amazing couch, and even the announcer was interesting and had a little personality of her own.
I love watching speedruns of horror games because it's the only way I'll ever see the whole game. Especially of RE7 this game scares the absolute crap out of me to actually play myself and this is such a great run. Carcinogen is amazing to be able to not only smash this game on the hardest difficulty but also to provide commentary of his strats while he figures it out on the fly like that.
I’ve never really been into watching people play games but this dudes really nice because he knows lots of interesting details about the game. Great video.
@@boneor...7022 I'm also from the future and was wondering the same. Maybe its some kinda curved exclamation mark, like there wasnt enough length in a standard mark to convey his excitement.
carci is one of the best speedrunners, he truly understands the games and knows how to work in them rather that just learning how to progress he learns the games ins and outs
My friend played the game to the end without knowing you can run. You have to run to get past a certain point. My other friend figured it out in two seconds.
@@trevorpgamer1936 I could be wrong but I think you have to run + guard when Eveline goes all Akira before the final boss to get close enough to inject her

A runner who isn't afraid to be himself. His name is also amazing considering what the money is being donated to.
Mega props to Aprilcake for the donation reading and for helping keep all our blood pressure down with your soothing voice!
NintendoCapriSun you are awesome 😎 Tim.
Holy shit is that the real NCS!?! Tim you’re awesome!
aprilcake's voice is really so amazing
It was weird when no one except the runner clapped or made any discernible sign of recognition for the $350 donation.
so happy :)

can we talk about wednesday though

@@TheOmegaRiddler I remember it as the day M. Bison destroyed my village
This was such an amazing and fun run, both the runner and the couch were so active and they were on point with the commentary
1:53:50 for the best part of this run :D
Zachary Skyrimhouse posted 12 seconds after the run was uploaded. Seems legit.
But it did crack me up! Thank you.

That was actually the first time in awhile that I legitimately laughed aloud. Thanks for mentioning it!

If you haven’t, check the tomatoanus fallout anthology run from 2020.
Carci runs are always great, even they they don't go super well. Normally his runs on stream go mostly perfect other than the occasional Jack-N-G
Personally I loved the fact that it was a stressful run. We got to see him route on the fly, deal with unexpected dangers, and STILL come out on top. Plus it looked like the game actually scared him once or twice!
This is the most glitchless speedrun I've ever seen.
Idk if u can glitch RE games that much
Survival horror games, particularly RE and SH, are notoriously difficult to break. This game is a lot less rigid with how you have to progress than other titles, but still a very tight game.
@@ryanolsen294 RE 7 heavily scripted, and requires lots of key items to pass certain checks. Hard to skip through something like that with glitches.

I underestimated just how hard that fight with Mia was going to be until I just started playing on Madhouse. Absolutely insane how many bullets she can take to the face.
She might as well regain health when you shoot her.
This guy runs through the game making every step look easy. This game really requires attention to detail to be able to speed run. Major credit Carci.

This was an incredible run and he handled the pressure of things going wrong extremely well.
I've watched probably every GDQ run of the past like.. 3 years and this is still my favorite run of all time.
I think holistically this is my favourite run, commentary is great, chemistry between everyone is awesome. I still come back to watch this in the background every once in a while
Great runner! Keep it up man
realy like carcinogen, been watching tons of these agdq/sgdq vids, and carcinogen is one of the top runners in my opinion, just due to his niceness
If anyone's making any GDQ highlights videos, 1:44:13 should definitely be in it.
Watching this live was so hype. Carci is one cool dude
wat
The super random "WEEEeee....." from the announcer at 1:23:20 is so great
I keep coming back to this run, and I love it everytime! One of my favorites
I love Carcinogen. He reps this great series in such a satisfying way every time.
This is probably my favorite run I've watched from a GDQ
Masterful run. Carci is truly Real Police Dude

Amazing runner,host,audience & couch.
Takes him almost 2 hours on madhouse
Takes me 17 hours on madhouse lol
Only 15 hours away, you got this💪
H P we Need more positive people like you 😂
Legit one of the most entertaining SpeedRun in GDQ 2018. Carci always up to the hype
I still watch this like once a month, an amazing run
This run had me on the edge of my seat the whole time
Ok wow this was the most exciting unpredictable run I have seen this was awesome
“This is a long ladder, but we only have to do it once”
Re7: *sucker punch*
Of all the people of all time, Alan sure is one of them.

Such an enjoyable run to watch.

One of the best runner so far
I cant believe it's been 6 years since this happened
This was the best run of AGDQ. That and SDW and Bloodborne.
The donation reader's voice is so nice and calming
I’ve never really been into watching people play games but this dudes really nice because he knows lots of interesting details about the game. Great video.
Love Carci's professional take on running games. Just found out he did AGDQ. Great way to hunker down for the evening!
Favorite run. Carci earned a sub. Cool dude!
He's actually entertaining to watch
Such an incredible run! Loved every second
still watching this bc this is where i get to know carcinogen and btw 26:49 is the start of the run
Really like this guy! I enjoy his knowledge and commentary while simultaneously speed running.
1:43:30 "...still in a dream, snake -sorry" haha, that mgs3 soundtrack is catchy for sure
Is This Luigi's Mansion 3?
The king of legend yea
It’s a remake of 1 and exclusive to the n64
theres been rumors of it releasing on the virtual boy
Certainly not, it's obviously Kirby adventure.
harvest moon
Never seen a run so unpredictable.
One of the best speedruns IMO, I watched this as soon as it premiered
After doing the S+ runs in RE2, watching these speedruns is always so satisfying.
2:15:23 I think she says "I just wanted a family" Thats it what I heard when i got to this part on my playthroughs.
That was a great run, even with one death it was awesome. You did amazing.
"Optimization #3: NO HAND!"
Who needs hands? Make you go faster.
Great run and great commentary, I feel like I know more about Louisiana now.
Carcinogen’s attitude in the toughest of situations is unmatchable😂
AGDQ should have a VR Speedrun. That would be hella cool.
Do they have VR games at all?

I did not know Punchy was on the couch and the second he started to talk I knew this run was going to be amazing.
best couch and runner ever. i died at the jump scare lmao
This is easily the first time that I ever saw Carcinogen nervous and panicking. Nice to know he's human like me LMAO
I completely forgot how deep in the uncanny valley this game’s cutscenes are
2:12:25 this was the best commentary on that voice i ever heard, cranks me up everytime
