extreme saying hey guys so glad to have agdq back again it makes January so much more bearable especially with that cold donating to the DKC reverse boss order and to save Merrill & Metal Gear Solid best of luck to all the runners hope everyone has a great event and just a reminder that is one of the bid wars we've currently got going on and it's a pretty close one Merrill is ahead by about $75 deciding who to save in Metal Gear Solid between Otakon and Merrill both of those totals up over $1300 also in Metal Gear Solid 3 there's an incentive to have semi juicing Snake Eater that's at about 4700 of the $7,500 goal I want to see him get the money in for that one we have $20 from Josh be 136 saying had to donate during the Wario's woods run as it was a game my mom and I played frequently during my childhood she just passed on Saturday from a rare form of cancer and his last few days have been rough without her here I have her to thank for my love of games and for all the wonderful memories she gave me throughout the years to look back on I love you mom looking at some of the prizes that we've got here heading into the dkc2 race and the first block which is going to be void doing the reverse boss order in dkc1 the Donkey Kong Country vinyl soundtrack by unfortunate face is a $15 minimum bid donation you've got during both of the Donkey Kong runs to get that in also a $30 minimum donation can get you entered for the handmade King K rool Pirate King figurine saw that sitting on the back table during the interview that's a really unbelievable figurine and that vinyl album I mean those are two of the best prizes if you ask me we've got $50 from math Tron 5000 saying my first time watching gdq live I got into gdq watching TAS BOTS from previous years and I look forward to enjoying my last day off from school watching some amazing speedruns and he put his money toward the dkc1 reverse boss order run as well because hey the more games the better getting set up over there as we get ready for the donkey kong country to any percent warpless race and then of course we're going to have the demonstration from void dkc1 reverse boss order I've got just enough time to try and wrap my head around how that's going to be possible void and waffle 42 will be running dkc2 then we're gonna get into the sonic block that's gonna be a good time as well looking at some of the other bid wars there a few they'll be going on a little bit later burnout paradise you can choose the time of day for the burnout paradise run now that's a little bit closer only twenty dollars separate the 24 minute days from permanent midnight and then a little bit less for permanent daytime so if you're a burnout fan you want to get your donations in for that one for sure some of the prizes that will be coming up as we get closer to the sonic block there's a classic Sonic Tails and Knuckles cross-stitch again that's they're coming up for a little bit so you want to keep it that in mind as we get closer to the sonic block also got that Donkey Kong Country vinyl soundtrack spike was showing that off earlier that is unbelievable even just a cover art for it and you know the music is gonna be awesome as well well they keep getting the consoles set up here we'll go ahead and take a look at some of the bid Wars different things going on as well as some bid Wars and incentives that are going on for a bit later on for example Super Mario 3d World you may not have seen this one yet you can donate to decide who the final level character will be Luigi's kind of running away with that one at the moment with more than six hundred and fourteen dollars Fire Emblem eight Erica vs. Efrem the Erica routes got the lead there also some of the things you can donate to maybe to make some of the games a little bit tougher wizards and warriors hasn't all bosses run incentive that's gonna be six thousand dollars needs a little bit of a way to go to meet that one we got fifty dollars coming in from Mistah Hat said this is for the last donation about the person who lost their mother on Saturday and to everyone who has clearly lost someone recently I'm deciding to give what I can to someone or a group that can use it way more than I do thank you all that's absolutely the important thing to remember you know raising money for the prevent Cancer Foundation everybody's had somebody in their lives that has been touched by cancer either directly or you know you have close friends and family so in addition to being able to donate with the bid wars with the incentives all that great stuff know that all the money is going to a great cause as well and that's a good enough reason to donate if we can get some extra games in there why not right looking at some of the incentives here just some of the funny ones that come up a little bit later on in secret of evermore there's an incentive to anger the chicken God if met Mehta Sigma will anger the chicken God during a secret of evermore run if you thought Zelda's Cocos were bad wait till you see what happens here that's one that I kind of want to put some money towards because I don't think you ever want to anger the chicken God as of course save or kill rosh deciding the fate of rosh during the star wars jedi academy run and right now it looks like the dark side ending which would be kill rosh has taken a bit of a lead right there was still plenty of time to go before that run of course so that could always change looks like Sammy Chiu is getting closer - singing Snake Eater in the Metal Gear Solid 3 run got a ways to go though a little bit more than $2,500 to make sure you get your donations in for that one and we've got the great prizes in addition to the awesome Mario Kart 64 music coming up the handmade King K rool Pirate King figurine now during spikes interview you might have seen this it was sitting right in front of him it's got incredible detail on it it's a thirty dollar minimum bid donation there but it's a really nice amazingly detailed figurine you may want to get in for that one if not 15 dollars can get you entered for the Donkey Kong Country vinyl soundtrack by unfortunate face and this is worth it just for the artwork alone and then you take into account the fact that it's a functioning vinyl can listen to some awesome music on it as well get a $15 minimum bid donation can get you in for that one and coming up after this donkey kong country to race between void and waffle 42 you guys donated for it looked like it was gonna come down to the wire there but some big donations got it across the finish line there at the end void will be doing Donkey Kong Country one reverse boss order again still trying to wrap my mind around this one we raised $20,000 for it it's a linear game you beat the levels in order I don't I don't see how you're gonna get to the end to give back to the beginning but that is something I've been looking forward to since I found out that it was an incentive so thank you everybody who donated for that there were a bunch of donations that came in we've got a $5 anonymous donation that says I lost a family friend yesterday to cancer rest well mark you changed our lives you fought hard I hope this and all the other countless donations helped to prevent anyone else from losing the same fight all right looks like the consoles are setup void and waffle 42 gonna be running Donkey Kong Country 2 any % warpless race guys have a great race [Applause] yeah here we are we're rollin deep here at agdq 2008 teen I'm spike vegeta hi I'm sylvite and we'll be your commentators for this awesome awesome race of DOC young country - in the warpless category am i right here we have got hailing from Quebec Canada we have got void in front of me we have waffle golden flow of 42 hailing from Seattle Washington and I feel bad I didn't give him like a subtitle name that's fine with that guys let's go ahead and jump in and this is the warpless category whenever you guys are ready I'll let's say I give you a countdown and we'll jump right into it already um go 3 2 1 go yeah we are jumping here this is Donkey Kong Country 2 1 the best games of all time and we are running a category that the community has been very passionate about super excited again is the warpless category as the title suggests we will not be taking any warps throughout the game obvious but also not just intended warps but unintended warps as well we're seeing right off the bat here we're picking up Randy in the first level he got a bit of an upgrade coming from Donkey Kong Country one goes real fast and that's already in the first level ladies and gentlemen I heard someone clapping in the back that was awesome Rick I love rhinoceroses so yeah we're gonna be seeing they actually skipped over the dixie barrel or actually void went ahead and grabbed dixie there and the first level a little bit of difference of preference and when you pick them up right here Diddy is generally gonna be preferred we want Dixie in this level because of that vertical movement we just saw right there from both of the players having that team up throw that is exclusive or became implemented in Donkey Kong Country 2 it was kind of a lot faster and right there on void screen something we shouldn't have seen this early but it is the goal swap you want explain just kind of what a goal swap this goal swap is exactly what it sounds like if you hit select to swap your toms on a goal and your partner is in an airborne state you get to switch your kong order and exit the level at the same time right there we saw from both players 8 the moonwalk technique where basically you just turn around while stilt and moving to the right slightly and you're setting up all these enemies from the camera cycle to be able to roll through all in because you want to roll through enemies as much as you can you gain a lot of speed act off of those you're seeing a little bit of an invincibility being employed just we can roll right through all these enemies get right out of the stage as soon as possible waffle with just a few seconds lead here over void there early on though going into the first water level of the game super cool trick we got come up right here right as the water starts through it he's gonna crouch and then jump and maintain that momentum in the jump going up void with the same thing buried just cool pleasing looking trick right there so by I mean how would you describe the water levels in this game as first appearing goes you're not gonna die in them but man going fast in them aside yes some of the absolute hardest to optimize in any percent we only really have to do one of them here that's gonna be up to three what you're seeing is all of these corners of all the boxes now think of the more you can kind of see them cutting these corners they're almost more like rounded than they are hard squares or anything so they want to be able to do that and maintain all that momentum curving around having it very precisely micro routed out and already we're into one of the hardest levels in this category we have to do these glitches make double jumps and a lot of these you actually have to get the maximum high possible to go through the stage in the optimal route you can see this level of play it's not easy definitely some of the hardest piece of tech in the game get up here we're sweet we switch this is the first level where we preferred to play as Dixie just because as you can see her hover ability is very important for just skipping over little chunks of ropes and other sections of the level void right there taking the lead in this level having a little bit less trouble with the rattly double jumps but none of it really matters so yesterday this guy sucks so you have to hit this guy with 4x the first two are always set they're always going to be good to go but then after that it's about a 50/50 shot if he's going to give you a fake or not waffle was trying to set a new world record there with 10 fake eggs yesterday in the practice room hopefully so anyways we're moving here into the next level maybe the best part about warpless is that we actually get to hear this track the level of the Sun the song hothead Bop hothead Bob yeah it's really good I obviously did my research going into this guy's as you can tell I'll be a relatively straightforward stage I think there's actually a decent place if you want to read off too quick donations absolutely we got $50 from mad mark 22 says shout out to the Donkey Kong Country crew and good luck to void and waffle on the race he put it toward the reverse of boss order which we have met greetings from Quebec PS you only need two buttons Y and reset and $50 from dr. throat punch who says always loved watching gdq happy to finally be in a position to support it thanks for all the great work this is one of my favorite pieces of tech in the game it's called the big boy yay so off of that you're basically able to throw your other Kong into an enemy and get effectively a double jump off of it allowing you to get a lot more height and skip over platforms here and there I'll be seeing that a couple of times throughout the run this is in general a very satisfying level to watch I love the vertical movement at that time Sam you're gonna see them take a lot of advantage of these team throw mechanics in these vertical levels yeah once again just being able to throw they'll see them a couple of times utilized like right here let this ego come down and then bounce off we giving them enough height and then throwing out of it another one right here and now go ahead and use this guy oh now I want you guys to know void is a very good 102 percent runner and you want to show off his skills for you today look how fast he got out of that bonus that was pretty good I'm not gonna lie okay so coming up there we'll have to see where in the level we actually are alright but you know like I said we're getting some bonus content for you guys here at agdq2014 95 video game um so we got both of them now into the second of all the three major water levels right here lot of again the basic mechanic of this is you want to hit these seals make them throw up in the water and somehow that makes it cooler yeah so we obviously want to avoid that as much as we can just cuz it's a little bit of a slower animation optimize game you're gonna see them in some cases still go over where they are because the water is all based off of camera manipulation like right there you saw a waffle screen on the left whichever side of this were you guys on the right for you guys that that made the water go up even though he didn't actually utilized the seal if you're not familiar with these games when the water is that bright right color it will damage you so we have to jump on the seal to make it a normal color of water so that you can swim in it safely the camera another goal swap there from waffle again is the technique where we just run full-speed into it there's actually lots of different ways to activate it I'm gonna shut up this way actually this is a really cool level uh-huh and we'll talk about gold spotting we have a couple of really hard tricks coming up so we're gonna flutter the runners concentrate on the rows but don't blink fairness we're still fine I'm off the screen I was about to say Barry yeah all right we got one more here on Boyd screen four four four on the impossible level ladies and gentlemen there's always that like oh I want to clap after the RAM B jumps when you've got another impossible trip coming right up after that so yeah I don't know if we want it so normally in any percent there are all these wrong warps that we do where a lot of it involves all this black magic that goes on but also having that invisible barrel of sorts that was in Dixon's hair we actually utilized it there instead of creating a wrong warp to effectively just throw the balloon exactly and it saves so much more time than it looks I mean look at how slow these balloons are made yeah that covered a fair distance it's like we're just crazy for how little distance I looked like moving in here into squawk shaft the final level of world two before the boss again a lot more just sexy fun vertical movement always satisfying barrel blasting throughout it's one of my favorite songs in the impersonal oh this is my summers I like psyched myself out about that I promise it actually is my favorite track scripted for me to say right there but yeah so here we've got our first instance of squats think about Dogon country to is you need to not just be good at moving your Kong's but also utilizing all the different pieces of tech including all of the animal bunnies so that was actually an intentional damage that waffle choked there to try to set up his Kong's in the right order to get Dix in there you have to be both very good at mashing to get squawks through this vertical movement as quickly as possible but also good at just aiming your projectiles which can be used to hurt enemies but also their own enemy projectiles it's looking like good climbs here by both players we have a very close race going into the Boston world to hear again those damaged views were happening because they wanted Dixie the ideal to be in front throughout most of the run we're going to want to play as Diddy just because he has faster movement on the ground Dixie does give her hover ability though and she is preferred for most of the bosses just kind of ways they work out and you want to end all the bosses now coming up here we have got a very scary very risky trick it is the lava fly so you're gonna see both players jump up here to the top left and then start floating all the way across instead of waiting for cleaver we've got one player across and got both players across very nice [Applause] important little detail you might have missed right there they actually have to make cleaver attack them otherwise all these hooks that come out afterwards will not spawn and they can't fly back from the right to left a little bit of swag on welcome you'll flying Diddy glitch thank you for the fans Lou to or to lady's point not to be outdone there there's a rule in this game that it's not swag if it's faster so if it's the same amount of time or it's slower it counts the swag definitely got two of the top players in the world right here the two top runners in both this category and in any percent quite a treat we got for you guys this morning and if you're familiar with any person you'll be familiar with a lot of what's going to happen and the rest of the run not many more warps we're gonna be coming out but at least intended wards right over but lots of wrong warps still to go so again you showing off here how much of a power upgrade Randy had you're gonna see on both the players screens they actually dismount and Randy right at the end saves a little bit of animation time watching him explode and now you're actually seeing both these players having a team up throw and throwing into the barrel that's actually to store a super job Super Jump allowing them to then take damage off of this enemy right here we're just going to shoot Dixie far up into the air and allow her to skip over that barrel ooh get in the G not as much of a G but good enough and a little swag glass out there oh it's not sweat because it's faster I literally just ignored what you just said about driving the G is swag jump into the barrel not scenario there okay we got like 30 more minutes we got this down yeah thanks we should I work done this more No so here we are into this is the big level that you know when you're running any percent that gets you used to swimming it is one where it's never like like still like said earlier it's that these letters I'm never gonna kill your run but it is amazing how much time you can believe and see how close this race is we could switch up the lead of this race or at least make it closer yes again wanting to know exactly how to curve around these corners having good movement all the way throughout Dixie's hitbox fun fact is a little bit bigger than Diddy's but these guys are not wasn't about it they're gonna skip to the girl Dixie and Diddy swimming in the water is the same speed yes and we could probably get in a couple of quick donations as we swim through the last of this level you got it $100 from dbx one hitter saying donating for the role in deep crew good luck to my man void and waffle as well and what I know is gonna be an awesome race an alexander the art donated $50 said longtime viewer first-time donating i missed the live runs every year for whatever reason so i'm excited to catch this race now even though i should be working good luck guys and thanks for all you do sorry there is probably the hardest goal swap in the game we call it the kibble swap person to made a main stream my god you do not want to miss it otherwise you will get the fanfare at the end so this is the first we got as you can see right here rolling a little too deep there on void screen on void screen this is a very perilous level very easy to have your Kong's at the bottom of the swamp right here they're gonna have to be jumping off of these vines as quickly as possible not ever stopping really making sure that they're rolling off the edges of these crocodile heads waffle their had a little bit of trouble himself losing Diddy one barely make it I was not sure that was gonna work picking back up his Kong right here you really want Diddy's movement all the way throughout so waffle coming here on the last section always very scary grabbing both the bottom vines and getting out will see a void can match these last three rolls are probably the hardest part of the level yeah and definitely the scariest they're very nice [Applause] and our the snake again and now we have the snake again we have got rattly and this level's infamous for we're just a questionable hitboxes I definitely questioned it many times they'll do you'll feel like you do the same thing 700 times in one day out of sight oh noes oh say boxes are different um you're not getting a ton of vertical movement in this game or in this level from horizontal movement the big important thing here is that you actually want to stay in the air as much of a level as possible just because you move faster you're gonna see them chaining these jumps off enemies for that exact reason they want to stay in the air and they want to keep their momentum basically to match their muscle memory because the flow of this level is very important if you get a little bit off it can really mess you up you can see a little bit almost like kind of an air jump dropping down there for a waffle the camera kind of stops you right there so you don't want to do a full jump to land right down there and then line up your next hits same thing they are for Boyd coming up on the end of the level looking relatively clean for both players - very nice got another amazing little right here we normally would wrong warp through instead we're gonna have to have some crazy rope climbing this time and of coming right here I think is the biggest gift that we allow in this category yeah again no warp so we can do this we it's from you can see on void screen right now that SWAT that character swap in the water is what stores it for whatever reason and not only does that obviously propel you high up in the air that also allows you to not have the water it kind of breaks the trigger for the water that normally follows you up so which could sometimes be a problem because now if they fall in the level they're falling a lot further so we got here waffle looking like he is down his Diddy Kong so he's having to make it work with Dixie again me to know how to back this up each time ya needing to take the longer read around here I think we're gonna see void not to this part yeah very sexy-looking big boy right here and we are just not tied up ladies and gentlemen just like that and waffle still does have to grab Diddy here at some point yeah there's a number of DK barrels throughout so in this level all of these instable asks like when the barrel is already facing the direction you want to go it's about a three is a literally a three frame window in order to get that instant shot so keep that in mind as we go through these like we got this devil come up here [Music] and void now with a slight lead waffle still having to pick up giddy at some point let me coming up right here it just means that he can't do this damage boost that Boyd is about to do he is at some point also going to walk today Nidhi in front here it looks like it's happened to be till the platform coming up which potentially could affect us next trip coming up trip coming up on what Boyd screen right here got the vine clip from Boyd yeah waffle dropping back down to set it up throw it backwards that trick is notoriously difficult it's called vine clip that are they're showing the experience both these players sinking thousands of hours into this game Boyd giving his opinion of the runs so far he just had this run sucks when he's ahead a lawful I think that's some shade alright so uh here's Cole he's cool there are ways to save time in this boss yeah you're gonna see a little bit of camera manipulation picking up the barrel in a certain spot so that the camera Scrolls to the right and we could just kind of hit him in the butt was a TNT barrels yeah it's I don't know what necessarily these two players do specifically but it's I know a lot of people say you count either Dixie's breaths as she breeds them or her hair oscillations that's the same thing right yeah whatever you're looking at you yeah that is what allows you to know each time and it's a different amount each time because it comes out a little faster so it's like for half breath cycles three sixteen twenty if you start moving to the right too early cudgels going to be facing you and you won't be able to get the quick hit if you go too late obviously he'll follow you yes so it's a trick that over the six hits and the fight seems like two seconds yes and if you miss the cycle you're potentially losing like I don't know around ten or so it depends on which cycle you see that they're not even going for all of them some of them are a little scarier than others with that we got an awesome race coming to you guys here from agdq 2080 I'm gonna kick it over for a few more quick donations as we bait this very boring box all right well hundred and fifty dollars from Rob Roy saying finally able to donate good luck to the runners and the money goes to the runners choice so we need to get that at some point and a little bit busy right now $200 from rebellious donkey kong country to you guys reminded me of amazing video game memories dkc2 will always be one of the best classics from Nintendo I also can't wait for the burnout paradise run to keep the donations up people let's break last year's record so that is this one of your favorite levels I love Hornet hole it's a silent killer man this this stage needs a lot more practice than you think it kills your hands you try to grind it very alright avoid very wisely opting out of that jump they elected to make this little a lot harder but faster because they're actually playing this opening part with diddy as opposed to dixie fix the allowing you to hover all this honey but we've got an amazing trick coming up right here called the scrolling scroll we're gonna trick the game into thinking we are on that hook still while being on the spider and the web at the same time and you get this so watch waffle right now we are going to have them team ups for the honey doesn't catch him he's gonna throw up so he doesn't have to hit the B and then intentionally both of them hitting that be right there to actually end the glitch otherwise you would just keep scrolling so all that is very intentional and I'm skipping over this last section when I had waffle moving up to this top section flying down then jumping right as the camera scrolls and then flying all the way across so very nice horn horn hall from both players [Applause] yeah that was probably a really quick explanation but yeah again the the long the short of it is your whenever you're on the hook the game locks the camera in place and but you still aim it to where you're going to be on the spider and the web also at the same time it diffuses the game and it just says all right I'm gonna make you go really fast to speedruns are cool but with that this is the first of four now major auto scrollers in the run a couple little flitter or dragonfly skips they're gonna be doing that's a just a little their time but I think this another great place for some donations chill our way through this well we got fifty dollars here from Nova Sun zero zero sand team void let's go Donkey Kong Country 2 just like kitty cancer is objectionably the worst I lost my mom to cancer I lost my life the cancer a few years ago detection was able to give us two extra years with her though hope this can stop at least one person from experiencing that loss we've got thirty dollars from Clayton 148 saying hello and welcome over the last year the Donkey Kong Country community has become my second home shout outs to my boy void and the rest of the dkc family or a gdq this year so sorry I couldn't make it there with you guys donation goes to voids choice rolling out and we got $30 from Annan cos rolling in for the rolling deep runners good luck void and waffle stay notice wag we're taking a serious here in GQ 28 all right so we've got I said famous you said infamous yesterday I did in donk our country too we have got bramble scramble right here another level that we use now we get to skip in any percent but here we gotta do it and once again it requires being very very good at your you're a squawks movement moving up as fast you can having good mashing and also using for your project and not just kill enemies but also to neutralize their attacks as you saw right there from Boyd there's a bit of a curse in this game we're all the really cool levels seem to get wrong warps as it turns out yeah great if you want an easy run like me but whatever you got waffle just hugging this right side as you can see the hitbox isn't exactly what it looks like Diddy and Dixie like you can have their bellies in their butts basically just sitting on the bramble it's more sort of squawks [Music] not void quickly moving through here I believe you said there are two less bees on the American verse although I think we're playing and right here that's cool Boyd just flipping past the r-mo again showing off that hitbox no one at home could hear that right I don't know it seems like the audience kids are at school right okay good all right kids are in school we are fine say whatever you want that was a cool bramble scramble by both them right yeah yeah I had fun I had fun all right so we have our next autoscroller here this one's a little less trivial it's a it's actually pretty scary for me it's certainly scary you're gonna be going really really fast all the way throughout this you have to bop off-lease and ease as you're going past these pits and there is no checkpoint in this level so if you fall on a pig you're going really really really far back it's not a stage you want to look away from when you're playing it's Vanessa this is not the read chat screen coming up here we got second place guy very infinite second place guy jumping at the top to try to make this a little less title winner all right voy a batik him down the tree final boss and waffle clear soon as well good job Boris without go ahead and get another another donation before we jump into the next very difficult we got a good one here for you two hundred and fifty dollars from Cody 102 he says good luck to all the runners and thanks for contributing to such a great cause mud hole Marsh pinnacle of this game I think this is one of the levels that almost like defines this game as the speedrun all the different things you have to be good at and just like how terrifying it is is a platforming level these players are going to be rolling deep into this swamp area just a little bit off they're going in like right there is just on void screen under the stage and of coming on void screen it's probably the most difficult part of the level we have to very cleanly navigate this part eagles everywhere there are lost different strategy strangely you can utilize but instead easy one don't like to go under them for the most part very nice execution there for the Boyd and very well done there by both players seeing another moonwalk thereby void bouncing off these Eagles wall most gonna go into the same thing this is another level where we are skipping a work we would normally work out at the last part of this I'll take it it takes a hit but that's fine just get his boyfriend back all right and we got here at the very end of the level he's actually turning back to love cuz that D spawned the barrel for him and now we got waffle once again dealing a little bit more dick she didn't want to see in this hole but it's going to make the end of this level a little bit safer he can just utilize that hover not have to wait as long it's been arranged seeing a really tricky team for a double jump nice Boyd wants to show off as many strats as possible for the audience so back up yeah it's actually that it's nice that backup exists otherwise you would there's a lot of time guyssee waffle do something slightly different or at least go for something slightly different if she's lying us to throw its Dixie upwards down the honey that way waffle jumping up to load the B so that he can simply get in that barrel and shoot up straight away not having to risk taking damage but still the dixie definitely made up some good time there but half that did cut that about in half having to wait for that enemy again and right here you're seeing now they're playing is round again this part always looks super impressive it's basically hold right and jump charge it up and go know when to jump there are ways to optimize it there are ways to mess it up just don't try and get too tricky and right here on board spent a little bit of a ram be double jump of sorts rather to actually avoid the barrel Sadie just a little bit of time and now I think the hardest boss in the game would you agree with that yeah I genuinely think it is the hardest one to optimize and do well we have to hit them hit him specifically on his stinger so all of their movement in this fight is actually very specific because they're always going to start the next attack phase to be up in this top middle portion so by manipulating your movement it pulls in upwards and then you're able to get in the shots because no matter what the V is gonna go up there anyway so it's both faster and easier to just make sure that the B is up here when it becomes vulnerable having some good hits from both players so far Curtis this is the one time he'll ever get the two cycles Jamal come on he did try he normally doesn't try while trying to get in his last hit right there I've pulled one more time again having to improv a little bit here to get him up one more hit here trying to time that right as the iframes run out getting his last few hits now we move into world 5 which is actually unchanged for many percent just there are no wrong warps or anything here that at least that we use right now as humans but a super fun platforming stages all the way throughout learning this was definitely my favorite part of Don country to speedrun lots of really cool platforming with different gimmicks and every stage that are fun to utilize and an autoscroller and one autoscroller which is its optimizations in general you want to be in your rolling state as much as possible so a lot of the micro routing throughout this game is trying to write how much rolling can I fit in and how many different ways do I get refunded my role whether it's going off very nice ending there by void with a goal swap in darkness and there are basically two main ways you optimize roles you want to roll as much as possible and as long as possible so sometimes you'll see them doing very short roles just so that they can be in the rolling animation as much as possible just going left and right but they also don't want to jump out of the role too early because then they have to start another role and obviously they don't get as much distance nice job there by waffle going underneath that rope and then catching it from behind audience getting tired wake all right so here we are in the last of the minecart style levels i said this i said a wrong piece of commentary the other night and you correct me on because i was like yeah you want to jump as little as possible or just you know on flat ground as little as possible and that's incorrect yeah it turns out that the general rule of jump up slopes jump down slopes is still generally true but the TAS are you I believe we're all jumping from this point figured out that if you jump in very specific points on flat surfaces it does save some time not all of the RTA runners that went to this but there's definitely it's crazy how much optimization there still is to have in the basic movement of this game very late jumping over each of those B's their hitbox is gonna be a little deceiving with how they interact with you in the cart obviously basically Canada's just trying to hit the plus barrels keeping your time at that time ever gets to zero you will lose the calling for it obviously don't want that to happen where's the time without let's get in a few more donations here for the end of the autoscroller all right we've got $40 from antilles 58 Oh Tilly's he says shout outs to void waffle the whole dkc crew and really everyone with GDQ even though I've stepped back from speedrunning lately I still consider these last few years spent rolling monkeys quickly and beating games fast to be one of the greatest joys of my life thank you guys for some awesome memories and void I'll keep up my usual tradition of giving $10 per jump role in dkc supress why keep on rolling deep guys no pressure I consider this almost the start of a little gauntlet in the run some very different levels and all them are very difficult obviously the gimmick here is that we have this wind mechanic that depending on when you get to the when you get to certain parts and the cameras cycle it will either blow you forward or blow you back so they have to know exactly their movement has to be very specific so that they don't jump and all of a sudden the wind is blowing them too far in one way or the other boy jumping off these hooks as soon as possible so that when he gets in the air a little bit come up he rolls real deep to get on the right side of that barrel so that he could immediately go forward with the wind and then we're setting up a little bit of a goal swap at the end here also yeah it might look faster just to stay as Diddy here it's actually the same speed it's simply for this gold swamp Oh yeah a little bit of a new advanced tech called the LZ swap at the end there where you don't turn around to do the goal swap didn't quite get it but that's okay this is one of my favorite levels and speed running parachute panic normally what they want you to do is take the parent unfortunate death thereby waffle do you get the halfway point I was confirmed by our runners right there but right here on Boyd screen we got parachute panic where normally they want you to take these purple pits all the way down yeah we're not gonna do that we're just gonna have the level memorized and fall all the way through it waffle was Dixie a little bit they're just trying to figure out what to do didn't quite work out got another chance at it though boy coming up on the last section right here the head but you want to get in this corner have to diddy head butt so they can just fall the rest of the way very nice job there by Boyd [Applause] Webb woods universally recognized pretty much is one of the top three hardest stages in the game yeah it's always funny coming from parachute panic which looks so cool and then you have a much harder level here all of a sudden woods and that's because of the spider mechanics coming up we got a bit of an infant I've seen this a couple of times from Gusti Glade here bestie infinite is not to be underestimated like I said this is definitely the beginning of the gauntlet and Boyd's got that same potential here with Webb woods what is it that makes this level so difficult so like especially the spider part there's just so many things that you have to keep track of all at once so many inputs that you have to plan in advance and execute all in a very short window especially this part that's coming up right after the halfway Barrow we're gonna see you boy take some damage boosts so we don't have to you know normally go through the level by shooting these web platforms there's so many things and all of a sudden just feels like it turns into a different video game all of a sudden now you have to be good you're not just moving the spider you're having to get rid of enemies which your webs can IDE projectiles or they can be or they can do that so your webs can both be projectiles and they can also be platforms not exactly sure what happened there but it's really weird about what sort of webs you can have on screen I don't think the way to share what happened there I think I'm supposed to say if he's saying what I don't feel bad as the commentator for me like so we've got the world table infinite right here guys we've got Doug gonna cut your to speedrunning ladies and gentlemen we've got we're riding the purple parrot on the left side or the right side for you guys I'm looking at it yeah so we got waffle had him do some backup strats right here having to utilize some damage boosts yeah unfortunately in that situation did he just doesn't have the ability to hover and actually funnily enough the way he died showed why there's just too many bees for it didn't you safely navigate yeah coming out of this halfway point [Music] do you guys need to swap out we can jump in I know we do great I promise yeah yeah confidence I would die many times I would die maybe slightly fewer times Wow really well yeah so you'd something for void outside bin for waffle and it'll be a clustering goes I guess it's time sure yeah alright waffles gonna have to a backup strat here utilizing the pair he can still jump at one point you know where I want to get it applause in here yeah we're gonna we'll our way through world poor fat guys [Applause] yeah we got some asides oh yeah besides being taken so one of the other things I don't think we mentioned this about webley's you have to keep track of the number of things that are on screen otherwise these web platforms might spawn early they might not spawn where when and where you want them to so the movement is actually even more precise than it looks waffle able to get the bonk there we got what we like to see here rolling deep in the am of heq 2018 and there's still a lot of game left we got a lot more content for you guys if you enjoy what you see okay so here on Boyd's screen though we have got and very difficult I think some of the hardest piece of tech it's just jumping on the ropes actually in this game might sound trivial but really good I mean in this game separates the best players from me but yeah here we are there's also orangey with where exactly these barrels will end up awful having to implement some backup strats right here taking damage that he'd not mean to not able to use these damage boosts you actually get to see what they're skipping over yeah how slow the movement is back to normal now live off the screen though just got his to comics I was trying to get over the eagle pit able to clear it and now he's got the final beep he's gonna take this he'll try to get really low on the screen he can just jump up without the camera catching him and go up having that vertical move it very nice there my waffle he's got the kibble spit the very hairy yeah yeah are even more water level optimization happening on voice screen we talked about how awful the snake hitboxes and we gave him too much crap man this is the guy this is the culprit for worst hitbox we had in a donation from Antilles earlier Antilles you switch to running donkey on country 3 I mean that one's got a pretty good one don't have much else but whatever so here we are moving in to the last section cool he's a little trick right here we can actually shoot downwards in Waterloo Zach that actually causes that so light so when you released the charge while the water is moving you down the basically the vectors are preserved I'll be moving down during the charge we've got something you don't want to see on waffle screen we got Dixie moving up through the ropes we're in the final section right here you should be able to take it out getting his last bill don't let this last Eagle go by and we are good to go yeah I thought he was gonna go for a little bit of swag they're a little scary I thought the same thing it's just they're their premiere eyes that it was gonna be a gauntlet here we are once again I said mine melancholy supercool track right here I a little bit almost like an autoscroller there's still some really cool tricks you got one coming up here on void screens now pick up the barrel and then take drop it spawning Diddy taking that damage boost and then off of whatever you take damage you have another kong build chuck they'll get this kind of auto jump into the air which at the height actually pushes you into the next section of the level skipping over a whole section on the right side of the screen very nice execution there by Boyd now I just kind of asked to float up the rest of the way switch over to Waffle looks like we haven't had too many troubles with hitbox is in this level so far so far I'm throwing in two so far I want to fix anything I'm once again able to line that up correctly to not stay at the surface of the water want to check out what potential goodies were in that little area before heading on we are at and what's exactly the trick going on right here we were we were we were swimming in the not water right so on waffle screen we're going to show off some new routing that's going on this day I'm a Diddy windy we're gonna do some offspring movement one of the bigger big boys in the run we call this route didi windy it's a little faster it's definitely a little harder there's a little bit of a scary roll happening here understand exactly where the winds gonna start and trying to jump into that optimally to get your lips now here on voice screen we are in the longest autoscroll in the run this is one we normally would have it's funny it's debatable whether you would really call this a it's just not just let it go what I was gonna say was normally we would utilize this barrel as a thing where we would like do some black magic and we would skip the air level we still want this barrel for some for some trickery coming up here and a little bit to some different kind of black magic yeah I don't wanna spoil it yeah I know it looks really cool so make sure you're watching when it happens will warn you when it's coming up if you're familiar with any percent we're going to get the barrel in the same place we're going to get the invisible object at the same point but we're gonna do something a little different with it it's been coming up here pretty soon for void picking up here in this corner get our invisible barrel and then throw the stage up whoa Robin T so that's really cool you have to take damage there similar to the scrolling scrolling we had back and forth whole and world for the screen we'll just keep going so you have to take the image to action to stop it I wish this feeling just wasn't there usually literally flew up to the end I don't know if I'd be allowed and if you I mean you're out warming up or you're just going I was being wishful so once again we've got the companion barrel right here on waffle screen as well he wants to protect this with his life so your movement just kind of how you handle the section is very specific you don't lose it but also reduce lag from killing certain with that my god if you have donations oh we've got plenty they've been rolling deep on the donation side as well crunch Oh with $50 crunch a little bit of a throwback he said the Claude and dragonballjoseph had simultaneous flying Diddy's on screen at agdq2015 and now three years later we got the simultaneous flying did he's on screen again thanks for keeping the dream alive betsy donates a hundred and fifty dollars runners choice in honor of my friend Maurice love you and there's a thirty dollar donation from anonymous longtime viewer first-time donator love watching especially my favorite game of all time thanks void waffle the gdq staff and all the viewers for making gdq one of the highlights of my year there's a three hundred dollar anonymous donation says this donation is for my uncle Bruce he fought off brain cancer for ten whole years after being given only one to live sadly he succumbed back in October one of my greatest memories of him was logging on to AOL to look at Nintendo powers website to help me beat Donkey Kong Country 2 let's end cancer with video games love you Bruce we've also got $100 from Robo Bo I lost one of my dearest friends to ENB asti's EO neuroblastoma and almost lost my mother to breast cancer here's to eradicating cancer in our lifetime I'm donating to name Rydia after my dear friend Liana and then there's a $200 anonymous donation here that just says expand Kong expand Kong I'm assuming that was going to avoid dkc1 reverse boss order there my god you can keep reading no work all right well warpless baby we do have $200 here from dragonfangs it says dkc2 was one of the games that defined my childhood love seeing it destroyed like this good luck to all the runners of the event money goes to hearing sue me sick voice during Snake Eater I think that's what it wasn't not sick voice okay point as a reminder that incentive is getting closer to its goal the semi juicing Snake Eater is at fifty three hundred of seventy five hundred also got some incentives going on for the Metal Gear Solid race save Meryl or save Otakon it's close 15:19 - 1458 please save Otacon autoscroller so we were in clappers camera.this at the beginning of the final gauntlet of the run the final handful balls are gonna have to do Dixie's actually preferred here for much of the first half of it her hover allowing you to clear that first water pit also she's really short for some reason and she could just walk under that be it's pretty sick inside just a little bit of on guard movement right here mostly utilized for finding a bonus sections right there we got a cool strat coming up here if you want to explain it yeah so if you're watching avoid screen we're gonna duck under here we're going to pick up Dixie and throw her into an invincibility barrel and we're gonna go fast because we want to keep this invincibility barrel T or this invincibility the entire time so we can roll for all these B's which we wouldn't be allowed to do normally we're keeping all the way to the goal pretty much yeah yeah they're nice yeah it was awesome obviously it's faster to roll through enemies instead of ducking under them yeah now probably one of the hardest but most satisfying stages in warpless is channeling chamber yeah very high skill needed to be able to get through here quickly again I talked about how jumping on vines ropes these chains it's actually really hard to do extremely well this is probably one of the number one places where top runners gain time runners we see him picking up this invincibility barrels super cool see all these enemies actually gonna like to drop down here in the section coming up they roll through this Cullis try to keep this invincibility active for as long as possible of course yeah you guys probably can't see it super well on scream if you were watching board right there pretty intense all of the different movements that you have to do we're gonna roll down here instead of grabbing the ropes because obviously that's faster yeah while you're in that roll state you cannot latch on to anything that even more climbing to level is really long but they can help it out a lot and here at the end of the level very nice job there by the way talk to Tara my vote for hardest level in the game it's that it's pretty crazy I don't let you explain again like so we're gonna be utilizing rattly double jumps these are really hard right yeah so there are three kinds of double jumps that you can do you can use short hops where you tap be while you're whole while you're charging and jump there are then true double jumps and Omega double jumps you just saw in omega you saw how high against I don't make a double jump is a true double jump where you're holding Y and a true double jump is Black Knight lawful making his way into chain-link chamber as well very nice job they're getting to this walk section now now a lot more of it like we talked about earlier is just going to be good mashing to get hot good vertical movement and also aim those projectiles as well as you can I like to take a damage boost right here which is faster than going the safe route but it also makes this ending a lot scarier slipping by these beings it's gonna have three sets of easier he's gonna have to take care of getting through this little line of these into these Twitter Beryl definitely the hardest section of the level yeah up and one up and two and three up and three no convinced I was bad I was I was ready to say up and forehead I've been three up in four it was gonna be great he ruined my job but whatever so with that or just forgot the hardest boss in the game stronghold showdown and he's going to be final platforming level in the run screeches sprint as we have waffle going into again like you said potentially the hardest level in the game of that toxic Tower let's see how he's able to do here he just got the jump ladies and gentlemen that's actually deserving of a clap legit that's actually one of the hardest tricks you can go for it yo and void Hatter waffle having a sick rattly section right they are getting the Omegas and all the double jumps even going for that one right there skipping over or being really nice rattling session now both the players right now are squawks and different levels we're gonna see void not take this boost that's hittin over left morning you must actually stay below a certain point in the stage that he doesn't trigger the fanfare at the end and waffle taking that damage back here making this last piece action very scary nice [Music] Boyd coming up on the final section Oh taking a death on the last B unfortunately Boyd looking like he's gonna be able to clear screeches sprint and is able to get out of that nice [Applause] what's the name of this gun again it's the blunderbuss okay I was gonna say it wrong again that was like wonder bus thing whatever it's called that's name it was gun anyways we got waffle here moving his way up through the last squad section again slipped past me again showing off the risk/reward of taking that damage boost earlier taking a little safety just so he doesn't die because he's so close to the end it's as famous people say in the Dogon country community that especially this game oof there's lots of ways that you try to save one second and if you die you lose like 30 plus kind of showcasing right there yeah looks like he's going to like to go to just keeping the cond making this last section a little less scary they'll see what the alternate path here which is at least good to show off how optimized this game is and how hi lovelies runners are that that's literally the only difference you just don't know to be right there it's barely slower but again trying to save every single frame as 14k rule going on over here envoy side a bit of an autoscroller of sorts a long fight but they do want to optimize just how quickly they're able to throw the key balls back into the slumber store it's called just trying to get in there trying to go dustless meaning all the whenever it's sucking in trying to avoid as many of the dust particles they can do nice job there by wall [Applause] and previous gdq commentators have called this boss a glorified cutscene it's not far from the truth but it's not something that you can sleep on gotta have those optimal throws into the gun like you said right there boy having that jump up in the air yeah that's just a setup the timing for waiting for the begin of our last big platforming stage here right there you saw from waffle he elected out of it trying to go for a moonwalk once again to try to stop those thought the hedgehogs we call him hey sonic box ooh blue Diddy for the fans antic see that is how you know he is liking this run he's doing right now there's a high quality speed run this waste time like I think six seconds off the run it's actually even slower to get blue Dixie also so oh oh just this you're swapping definition of swag right but yeah by having that throw up animation Walton it confuses the game puts you in this blue state you're you're not actually as you can see moving slower like the blue smoke usually does it's just you're just blue waffle taking damage right there from that last ring of Bees CFAST were able to get through this last section last couple days we barely avoiding that be now should be able to just fold down and go on the bottom section right and we are out of screeches sprint ladies and gentlemen right there [Applause] avoid about to wrap up his speedrun yeah so get ready on time let me write as the coin hits the ground did he deserved it time for Boyd nice right [Applause] and reminding guys right after this race is over Floyd will be staying right here actually and popping in another Dogon country car he will be because of your generous donations and twenty thousand dollars we're doing reverse boss order I've never seen them doing I don't know how it's possible but we'll see how it works this Bettis linear as a video game can be and they found some way to do it completely backward we're gonna be swapping out we're gonna have some commentators people who don't know that are talking about yeah I'm not gonna comment town I'll just be like whoa that's cool do that again I'm seriously go back there are waffle trying it moving into the second phase of the fight again trying to optimize seeing as little of those dust particles as possible to optimize by as much as what are the dust particles coming out of the the pimple popper something that won't even laugh that was just that's gross yeah they know what's it called again the blunderbuss and watch it be like not a not remotely an English word and I'm also just like watching is that a real thing it's not like an actual thing like that's a real gun right yes you think we'd me Matador country run like right that's what I'm sorry never happen like it's not a Nintendo thing y'all were just like yeah though blunderbuss that sounds about right and sent up that large jump there to try the tiny girl waffle a little gonna fight oh it's a scam so that's good well not to be outdone blue Danny and Dixie for the fans ladies and gentlemen he actually see how slowly carol moves across the screen if you're familiar with this game that's basically why it wastes time is that your slows down oh yo we got the backup barrel all right there Dixie does not get to be in front for this that is yeah that's actually one of the hardest parts where you really want to avoid the red smoke though that makes you move a lot slower yeah we we don't want that that'd be a little too excessive and the purple smoke coming up reverses your left and right controls getting over them is really easy to set to stand in the spot and jump as this month approaches to you and then yeah fun little trick right here if you are Diddy he's fast enough if you just hold in the corner hold left he won't be able to get you a waffle does have a cool setup for timing this last hit yeah once the Cannonball spawns you're gonna see it he's gonna walk all the way to the other end of the stage and once it gets there he just can immediately throw and not killing off titties and time [Applause] nice run good job boys yeah boys well while we're shaking hands so that was your talk on country to warpless race Dogon country blog is only halfway through and it's gonna be our man Boyd right here showing you how to do some real crazy stuff so stick around guys [Music] that's right and we will actually need to get void's choice because now is the winner of the race we got $30 from dead ringer 21 that says loving the dkc2 run money goes to the race winners choice
