![[TAS] [Obsoleted] NES Arkanoid "warpless" by Chef Stef in 11:11.18](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PfqGpPNah9Y/mqdefault.jpg)
AGDQ 2024 is live right now! Tune in to watch at www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick
Thanks everyone for watching this run and for all the wonderful comments, I really appreciate all of you! #GottaHaveHeart
Revenge of Doh when?!
Sick run, thanks for the shoutout. S-tier of NES difficulty
Brought back memories of playing this with loved ones who have passed on. Thank you.
I had no idea Arkanoid even HAD a final boss fight. This run was truly something else.
I wasn't even sure it had a second level :D
The SNES version has MULTIPLE boss fights and they even use SNES hardware tricks. It can also be played with the mouse.
Yaelsraek's hair is freaking rad
Thanks! 🙂
@@yelsraek you did great!!
This run is such a masterpiece. Chessjerk has thoroughly deserved this opportunity and I’m so, so happy he got the chance to dominate this game at AGDQ. Beautiful.
Never thought I'd see you here! Love your work on Diminish!
"masterpiece" LOL 😂
This is extremely impressive, most speedruns are muscle memory and set ups but this is pure skill.
I came here to make a similar reply, but you said it very well.
There are no "tricks" with a run like this, no out-of-bounds glitches to skip levels, nothing easy... just raw skill. The kind of skill that can only be gained by playing the same game for 30+ years, and seeing all that practice in action was fantastic to watch. Easily my favorite run of this years first quarter GDQ.
Watch some Castlevania speedruns, not the classic ones, the metroidvania ones, lots of live reaction and button pushing that would make a fighting game pro say WTH. I like the skill based speedruns too, this one is awesome.
Amazing run and commentary, can relate to those who never made it past level 3
It's always lovely to see my favourite creators enjoying the same random stuff as I do.
Yo love ur vids jrose
Nice to see that you like Arkanoid too.
as a kid I used to play this game with my dad... as in my dad played and I watched. Brings tears to my eyes. RIP
I have the same core memory - cheering my dad on as he finally beat the game
🙏🏻
This is the only game my dad would play. He's still young but I haven't had time to spend with him in recent years and that bothers me so much.
What an insane showcase of the game, and what a wholesome couch.
31:26 - the "3 balloons" is actually a brick representation of the arcade version's 3 ball enemy, as they are tri-colored there (and do their own Disrupt when hit) vs the NES single colored ones.
I am glad someone else said that! I was worried about seeming pedantic when adding "ironic that this level would be exclusive to a version of the game where the object does not look like that"
It reminded me of the talisman item in Castlevania SOTN, but that was made by Konami not Taito, so I doubt it is a reference.
Also the ice cream was obviously Blue Raspberry flavored!! Not that anyone would know that nowadays, since that color has been taken by cotton candy (gross!) but I remember.. still my favorite!
The arcade version's circle dial was a thing of beauty. It was heavy, yet smooth. I loved this game because of the dial, and the sounds!
That was a masterpiece. Holy cow that's a rough game to speedrun, and seeing it done was truly something to behold!!
This run is strangely relaxing, thank you
The reflexes needed to clear this on one credit... just holy crap. Played this game since I was a baby on the DOS version and never made it past level 4.
Watched it live, and having played it and failed at it a lot as a kid, all i could say all along was : "HOW ???" Mind blowing
...I've had the Bubble Bobble music stuck in my head for 30 years...
Not even a joke. Every couple of days it pops back in there for me.
♪ _(I said now) Holy shit, goddamn, this is an annoying fuckin' song_
_We're gonna get it stuck inside your head, and you'll sing it all night long_ ♫
♪ _This is the game... that doesn't end... one hundred levels... and start again!_
_While you were stuck in the basement all day... other children were out to play~_ ♫ [repeat until insane]
GDQ truly brings out the best in video game speedruns. This one was unexpected. I saw that there was arcanoid on GDQ and thought to myself that this would have to be impressive. Absolute legend. Very fun to watch. Great execution and great commentary. Glad to see that GDQ is still going strong so many years later.
One of the best speedruns I've seen. Very impressive!
The reflexes....just unbelievable. I spent so many hours playing this game when i was in my late teens and never was even close to having the skill this young man does. Very impressive!.
Arkanoid memories... Around 1988 or 1989 I was a salesman, working "up country" in British Columbia. Lot of long drives between small towns. In Williams Lake they had an arcade, and an Arkanoid. They also sold ice cream for 25 cents (one scoop). So I bought an ice cream, then put in a quarter, and finished the game. A few days later I came back through Williams Lake and made a special stop at the arcade again. Got my ice cream, put in my quarter and overheard someone behind me say "That's the guy!". Love this game.
When I was a kid, I thought I was the most gifted video game players of my neighbourhood because I could get to level 7..
😅
And here we are, watching a breakout game speedrun in 2024. Life is good.
loooooved this run, absolutely a highlight of the event so far!
I dumped so many quarters into the Arkanoid cabinet near where I lived when I was a kid. Brutal but I still love it.
Yaelsraek's got that Dr. Wily hairdo!
This was so fun to watch. Great job!
J, Brian, love you guys. Love that TH-cam recommended this video. Absolutely awesome run J!! Miss y'all!
Round 35 is a flower with clouds in a meadow.
Utterly stunning speedrun, I'm only familiar with Alleyway, and I wasn't much good at that past level 3 either. This was amazing to watch!
I just wanted to take a quick look at this run because i played Arkanoid a lot back in the days (although casually), but i would have never thought that it might be this intense. And the level of precision is just crazy. Congrats, great run!
I grew up playing Arkanoid (and Marble Madness) on an Amiga 500 and this brings back fond memories of being completed housed by those incredibly challenging games. I did a double take when I saw an Arkanoid speed run and had to watch. I was flabbergasted by the amazing skill of CJ and the awesome commentary. What a run!
My grandmother passed around this time last year, but this is one of the games that I used to play with her pretty religiously in my youth. Its nice to see this come up at AGDQ
f***ing crazy awesome job. just blown away
I love how the internet and GDQ has shown me that undefeatable games of our childhood are not as impossible as we used to think. Well done!
I don't think I've ever been so tense watching a speedrun. Brilliant!
Best run this ADGQ. Reminds me of why I used to love AGDQ when there was just a couch in a basement.
Old school speedrunners reminding us of a better time
Hardest NES games considered by normal players - Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads. Meanwhile a much harder game was done live during AGDQ. Speedrun or not but this game is super tough for clear. Excellent run with a lot of extremely precise moves!
Akanoid is out of the league for normal players.
I beat the 3 games You mentioned as a kid and my PB in Arkanoid was level 7 because I got lucky with warp capsule 😂
This is one of the more interesting and nail biting GDQ's I've seen. GJ!
I played Arkanoid as a kid and sure it was hard, but never realized it was this hard! Thanks for the run
That was mind blowing!! Great stuff!!
That was so cool to watch. Well done.
Have played this game for 30+ years, so glad to see this on agdq
31:10 among us
Wow dude you're an Arkanoid master! Most dominant player I've ever seen play this game! Great run!
A true masterpiece! Love this game, love this run!
damn this dude is killing it!
Incredible run and what a fun couch!
I gasped out loud multiple times. Great Run!
Absolute Insanity, much respect.
This is incredible, it’s such a difficult game. Loved this and great comms from the couch too.
Awesome run and very entertaining. Sweet stuff :)
Jesus what a run 😵
Incredible control by chessjerk 😍
incredible work!
I'm with all these comments that praise this run. Unfrickinbelievable!!
I played this a ton as a kid. I think my best run was getting to stage 7 or 8.
Arkanoid II is even better. That one has some crazy capsules.
Excellent run!
That was a great run, and a lot of fun to watch!
Great run, super fun to watch!
Absolutely sick run. Early favorite of this GDQ.
That run was absolutely amazing.
omg thats insane great gaming :) big gratz and keep it going whoop whoop
This speedrun single-handedly makes Arkanoid worthwhile.
I loved this one. The guys were super cool
Amazing run!
Congrats Chessjerk!!
Never heard of this game before. Now will never forget it.
Wowww they are absolutely incredible at this!
Beautiful.
That was one of the most impressive feat I have even seen. Well done sir!!!
This is awesome❤
Amazing run
This is thoroughly impressive
This was my mom’s favorite game on the nes. The only console game she ever played. I played too of course but I don’t remember the ball moving nearly this fast. I also remember this was about the most expensive game at FunCo when they very first opened.
30:20 To those that want to see the heart-stopping moment
I'd never played this before, this run was so fun I decided to play it, holy hell it's hard! Really makes me appreciate that this guy got up in front of a crowd and whooped this game.
This is so hype dude
AMAZING!!
One of the best runs I've ever seen. Now do it blindfolded!
Gotta have heart!
5his was so fun to watch and the commentary was great.
Wow, insane run!
Most impressive AGDQ run i've seen, i think.
insane, i played this game a lot as a kid and definitely never finished it!
Beautifull run
Lovely run, and coutch people. Gg
VAUS IN THE HOOUUUSSEEE
The LEGEND!!!
A friend of mine had this game as a kid, complete with the paddle controller. For some reason, he couldn't move the paddle all the way to the right, so whenever he triggered a warp, he had to grab an extend power up to be big enough to reach the warp on the right.
One of those games you thought were impossible as a kid.
Wow i clicked just to see what arkanoid was and then injust couldnt look away. Awesome run
I'm in awe
One of those games I'll never finish and this guy speed runs it, insane.
I played this all the time as a kid and only ever got to Level 3. So seeing someone beat every level of a game I only ever beat less than 10% of is absolutely crazy in the best way. Huge props to ChessJerk.
great job on a super tough game
Bunch of solid dudes right there!
Seeing that controller took me right back to childhood, playing Breakout on the Atari. Those paddles really are amazing for this style of game and make it feel SO much better.
Ah, looks like they didn't tone it down for the home release, the arcade one is that nasty but I thought they would have been gentler towards home console players.
The ball literally running at the speed of light
I would routinely make it to 6. I didn't know I was a god at this game!
I used to play this game all the time. I never beat it, but I got pretty high. And Jesus… The anxiety comes flooding back.
Impressive!
One thing to say : Bravo!
I know way long time ago we played Arkanoid - Revenge of Doh, and I recall getting further than the 3rd level - usually until level 12 or 13 which was extremely low on the C64 PAL and hard to control, and all gold blocks except for the left most one. I also know that my dad finished the game at least a few times, and usually bounced the ball around Doh at a shallow angle to hit him ~5x per go-around, while dodging the projectiles.
