Donkey Kong Country Race Stew_ v V0oid in 33:32 - AGDQ2019

well while you're already excited can we get some more applause with this we're going to go to void instead for dkc good luck y'all so are we gonna wait the seven minutes for you to like hit the deadline years - what's up guys welcome back to agdq 2019 hope you guys have been enjoying the run so far we got a treat for you right now we've got two of the top runners in Donkey Kong Country one anypercent all stages the big boy category we got Boyd over here on my left let's hear it [Applause] current world record world record holder of this category and his challenger Jay will be sue let's give it up magic tracks ins do it for you guys today I think the roof where we got frog on the left side right now there's the right side of your spirit this game it goes real fast so do not blink with all introduced nice once we get into the run let them get set up [Music] all right German ready all right let's all cut them out from 5 4 3 they're rolling in all right so 1 1 here we want to get rid of donkey as soon as possible because Diddy's faster and then right off the bat we're gonna do what's called an extended roll which he just roll along but oh wait mister sir so yeah you saw it onto screen there basically you start your roll by pressing Y and you release the Y button while you're rolling through an enemy and if you repress once you've finished rolling through the enemy you get a longer roll and that's one one so we're moving on to one two a little bit more of a straightforward levels to take some time to introduce ourselves we obviously introduced void ants to earlier my name is supreme I'm they also shout outs to fella who was meant to be racing but he couldn't make it unfortunately yeah well first runner to actually achieve kind of mythical 31 in this game very interesting so you're seeing both you and void take this bonus here and it's gonna as you see now shoot them out obviously a lot faster than just kind of playing the level normally and they're just gonna kind of wrap up the level with some rope jump so kind of just try and release the rope as soon as possible you know spend as little bit time on the ropes as you know you can so one three here you're gonna see a little bit a little bit more tech you're gonna see some extend O's you're also gonna see them kind of roll past this barrel here which is a little bit more dangerous than it seems if you if you do it too early you grab the barrels we do it too late you run the risk of running right into the snake and dying it's not easy to actually be that in the relay a few years ago came back in stormed in was like another casual 33 that right there he still has a crawl space board so you can't get to the middle and you press the jump button you kind of just zip out to the end of it that's real nice it's just a little bit of time save here and there but every every frame counts in this game and just like that one three is already over yeah now going into our first water level ride he again iconic quad ambiance coming in but these are actually symbols they might seem a little mundane they're actually some of the hardest levels in the entire run to optimize you're gonna see kind of look at each of these edges they're actually pretty indicative of what you see they kind of curve off you want to make sure that you're cutting the corners as much as you can not ever bumping into walls and losing momentum and a big thing we got our swordfish buddy right here on guard he is very very crucial to going fast measles you lose the fish you're losing you and some levels they might as well be a death right there just cutting that corner making sure the croctopus' goes by and then we're gonna be utilizing dischargeability as much as we can obviously knowing the level layout where to dodge fish in certain places also the charge will have a lot of iframe properties to it so knowing where you can survive next wall right here it's mostly almost like a Super Mario World level we got a lot of flying over it but there's actually gonna be a big extender role as Navy brought up in one-one that's going to allow a much faster start in the middle in order to easier get you up flying over the second half of it yeah basically it just lets you preserve your height so you can roll through more enemies right here gonna be releasing Y after the second Kremmling there and then repressing it before the third one and that actually allows you to roll all the way to get into position get the bounce off that traveling and fly over the rest levels good stuff there by the players yeah just a very small gap right here off the one one mistake through with just a few second silver void is jockeying for position right now for sure going into our first boss fight thankfully the boss fights and DKC they're not terribly complex with a die in like 12 seconds or whatever actually 12 seconds might be giving it too much credit don't think you're really looking for is they want to make sure they obviously hit them as soon as they're vulnerable throughout the apex of their jump they want to land on each other world ones bubble two players to go ahead and give it up all right coming into the 2-1 Winkies walk away my favorite level I love Winkie chadster Winkie there's an extender right off the bat here and a roll here for that but that's difficult to time that one now you're just gonna see some pretty basic rolling and jumping on these platforms that rolls with that birds only possible if you hit the extend oh right yeah yep that's true because it's if you load it slower it would be a different high all right going into minecart carnage is the very difficult level that there go wait nevermind obviously a quite infamous but I believe am I wrong you're jumping here actually does save frames for whatever reason it is still debated to this day yeah now go ahead business I think for a lot of runners this is kind of the first really difficult level to run there's just a lot of stuff in getting away you're having to deal with all these be enemies rolling correctly into these pits and just watching out for some tire rolls they're gonna be seen later on any deaths here to note would be very costly because the checkpoint their own right they're obviously not gonna be collecting it they're gonna be trying to go to skip out on a cycle right here by doing these jumps into the crawl spaces they're able to skip past maybe say about three seconds there's a lot tighter than it looked and now we got those tire rolls coming up you want to make sure that you never do a roll off of the middle of a tire you need to do it left or right of center otherwise that will eat your roll so it looks like both players executed that very well should be getting over the last gap a level we go so we are heading into to four stop and go station another really difficult level I'm always gonna know they're mine alright so here we are at the end of stop ago station we're actually gonna see a little bit here where you're gonna seats do at the very end roll through one of the guys using Diddy's iframes in his roll and just like that it's over so coming up into the end of the next level you know we've seen some extended rolls they're really cool they're fun to pull off here's our kind of our first wait what trick of the run you're gonna see him kind of throw these barrels he's going to switch to donkey here and he's gonna take intentional damage and watching donkey go off the screen here that's very important him jumping up there is very important so what he's gonna do now is he's going to get donkey back intentionally take damage and you're gonna see a super jump which is storing height from that damage and allowing donkey to kind of jump way higher than normal up into the warp barrel normally you have to bring a tire back and bounce into that barrel in order to use it also students some more iframe magic they're just rolling through that big Noddy running on the wheel alright so here we have our second boss he's one of the very very limited instances of kind of randomness in this game his neck like where exactly he spawns very minimal time loss from this you're not gonna see like Boyd drastically come back and Nicky's not it's not not happening so you know pretty standard you saw a few lower few higher get good work from both players you know the big thing there's you want to try and just jump on their head as soon as you can yeah they release tonight so right here we got you might have noticed oh they're sticking with donkey this is the longest stretch you're ever gonna play as Donkey Kong in this game because of the exclusive barrels that barrel they just use this warped barrel is exclusive to Donkey Kong kiddie wouldn't see it they also make sure they just get to that point a little fast enough not hard for these players but no yeah that barrel will despawn eventually if you're not passing the next level coming up here it's pretty simple again it's one of the last just levels you straight up so yeah but I actually I want to kick it to you to talk about our first real big trick of the runs coming up yes they're coming up in the next level first frenzy we've got a trick hold and sjr which they're going to go for it's frame-perfect if they're too early and they will die and if they're too late they can just continue the level in a super jump so see this is about to set up here the normal super jump and basically we're going to combine that with a jump role which is frame perfect and it lets you essentially fly over the level very fast do you go to very nice and you'll see that Boyd was too late so he's just gonna stick with the super jump which was the strap that we used before the Estrella was found oh my gosh the screen scrolling so much faster Boyd is still saving like over 20 seconds that want to say yeah this is obviously a lot of people know this amazing love that roll right into the exit all that it's important to know that you're holding actually while you're going up there as long as you hold thee you are flying up in the air infinitely so the players have to know when to release to then land at the proper time to get to the end otherwise they'll just pay up in the air forever you can stay up there for a very long time tempest from your supercool level baby you're out you can go for a beginner's route is you can go in - as you can see right there amazing extendo to get to that rope you can go get Osteen it was being a little hurt later in the run but it's actually a handful seconds faster does not go to go completely without it and let Diddy do all the work here supposed to go into a side area so what stood right there was called in omegax tuna rolls on a double extender yes you basically just combined two extenders into one okay very fun yeah you gain more momentum as you go through enemies you're up to life and with that we got another one okay but they're not actually what are they doing here now so here they're gonna do the map walk which is kind of a wrong off you can do on the overworld so how it works is you'll notice these corners like where the path pivots if they as you see there if they press face button on the frame that they're on that corner they'll be sent to okay or if it's depending on which corner your door on it could be one two all right we got Boyd coming up here as well that first try there we go yeah it's tough it's praying perfect but you also have the option of you can use like any face button I think snart also works for you a lot of a lot of people will you know either mash all the buttons or they will like kind of roll like I think easing these is like a back of a wiimote rolls so yes some people prefer to mash or some people will actually try to time it they'll press usually three buttons at the same time well like trying to space them out roughly a frame apart in the first but again I'm guard very very important to these nice right here subtle thing normally they really kind of want you to have talked you don't like push the barrel up into the B if you grab the barrel with Diddy and then jump up the air and release it at the apex of your jump right as it's dinner is about to hit you then you can actually deal damage that way of skipping to use donkey target you'll see there instead of going under and dismounting he actually clipped through the plan utilizing those charge on world [Music] have we hacked in some music well moving on here we are in the world's forests no barrel blasts I think famously for a lot of people this frustrated a lot of us as kids but they know the devil warp dr. will we have a really cool trick we're gonna be grabbing this pin can barrel and then actually doing a float jump to get this really cool chain down all these enemies and skip over a lot of slow sections right there yeah it's a very cool trick and it's actually pretty easy to learn all you have to do is jump off uh slow the barrel mm that's close you were like really like pixels from the death plane right there yeah Conan's safety strap you will do they'll do a little jump up the air so they can see diddy to fall into that death barrel that's what I did oh I will do that to the end attack we got another warp right here but it's a little different maybe spring if you want to go and explain like what's happening he's bouncing up off obviously and he's climbing above the level holding kind of like up and right and kind of rotating over to get on this kind of like platform that you just instantly fall off normally but he does a quick roll in jumps into the barrel that is a very hugs yes dude just yeah pay code under the B saves like 15 well I think he said 0.3 I don't know if I believe in if you're messing up you guys pretty ballsy to go for it right there boy able to nail the same trick getting above the level and just one last note on it you can actually get up there with donkey but not Diddy normally so Diddy's faster Diddy is obviously who we want in front most of the time so that strat is lower than just doing donkey like if you were doing in high L but faster overall because it keeps Diddy in the front then I give a shout outs to our girl Express know right here this is the only level that this bird shows up in the run anymore and as you can see you move really really fast with her it's really hard it's awkward to try to go get her back you saw him actually float underneath the checkpoint barrel it's almost better if you somehow lost expresso or you died to just go back to the start because she saves so much time the it is important to note they want to be on the ground as much as they can because she runs faster than she flows they're trying to optimize exactly when ending that so with that looks like once again boy just a little bit behind maybe you good like mostly from that super jump roll we fought back yeah roll free oh is this already like a big gap to overcome this game is the absolute lottery so keep glued here your television set or your computer whatever it is because we got a lot of game to go but this right here this is definitely the halftime show I'm gonna kick it over to Scott else to read off some donations for us thanks spike you're welcome we have a $50 donation from snooze mom I'm so proud of Stu the DKC community and the work all volunteers do for the cause thank you everyone another familiar face from the community here $25.00 from Antilles 58 yeah thank you aunt Ellie Boyd ends - great to see you guys getting this GDQ off to a proper start with a lot of rolling monkeys and a hearty what's up to your fantastic house you know the drill by now but I'll donate an additional $10 per jump roll so keep calm and press y hopefully I'll get to join you guys there again soon and I know you're looking back there Skywalker [Music] fifteen dollars from Martin boot and watching agdq with my girlfriend for years now such a great initiative just got my first nest for my 33rd birthday with Donkey Kong Country so naturally I had to donate for the DKC run also I'm definitely going to borrow some strats from voidance - best of luck on the run and let's fight cancer real quickly we also have $1,000 from Jarrah no comment but thank you very much Jerry we appreciate your donation one last one $500 from Jade 42 he says I used to play dkc1 with my dad when I was young and 20 years later finally beat at 101 percent with my fiance had to donate during my favorite game good luck void IRA guys you coming up here near the end getting away from the last part of us again this is kind of the only bit of like downtime is the viewer but even to these players again like I said earlier water levels are really hard to optimize if you're playing at home if you ever watch a DK speed run with you're listening at the end if you hear the piano at all then you're then then you know they start to lose time the more piano you hear is kind of a good gauge for how how they did through the level so no piano is is really good a few keys is you know solid you did a good job and then if you hear more than your me got we made fun of you for a while I know all right it's gotta be on me there are nice back booths right here off these large enemies did he can't take them out himself but you can utilize them for those back boos this can actually be a tricky levels a little yeah that's what rolls touch hums yeah you don't want to get squawks the bird out here because yeah it's about four minutes of lag I'm pretty sure that's pretty close all right big trick coming up right here for another super jump rolled [Music] the madman two for two so this is a really interesting estrella it's considered one of the most easiest in my opinion at least the setup is actually hotter than the frame legends say it's actually seven frames oh boy going for it right there we got over here on Stu's side actually fun little trigger here you can stand up there and hit him right at the apex of the jump old strat for this used to be to actually sacrifice donkey here to skip out on this last invincibility phase got to wait him fer to get on with it but we're actually setting up for yet another super jump role in the next level kind of Smee actually need to hold on a donkey for the setup now we got Boyd on the left side so interesting dynamic about going for those jump roles and super jump roles is that yeah it cost you a lot of time you missed them but also you just have to play the level one way at that point didn't you see a Tyrell here at the end okay you're gonna see an interesting setup here this is actually sacrifice list oh he got it but it didn't quite work out in the armor here from Stu that's the first big opportunity for Boyd to try to come back on this again you can make up and lose time in this game so fast I promise you guys this race is not over not by a long shot exactly I think my favorite thing other Super Jump rolls though is that there's no one way to do miss that you see just a big variety of setups and different things you need to do in order to get them to work I think it makes it really fascinating just viewing and playing yes so the reasons do went for that setup is because it lets him keep donkey so he can go for another Estrella and elevator antics he will be going for it but Boyd won't be nice level though overall there all right boys heading up for his own there he's doing a more traditional setup but gets the super just a little late again another lovely skip over selfishly I love oil drum alley how it looks from the runs I located watching them get to do all these cool extend O's and everything we got interesting extender I'm still got to stop that it's a new strat here we go super jump over you're gonna see him finish the level with a super jump because it's actually faster at that point I think if you just do a super jump over the level rather than completing it normally I think it's about five seconds so with the setup in mind it's just fun right finish it out nice Oda there from void nice SJ arles that is not a trivial level whatsoever [Music] that's probably a pretty good spot you had one quick donation all right sounds good spike we have five dollars from the shaded master who says I don't know what's more impressive that we have two amazing runners for dkc or they managed to get an urban yeti on the couch good luck you two yo nice nice institution right there by Boyd that is a very terrifying roll into that crawl space right there interesting is gonna do again take the bonus here just kind of quickly get to the midpoint gonna grab it for safety got a terrifying level over here on the right side for Stu final water level poison pond do not lose your fish here if there's a trick coming up in place important cold triple mince equip and in the practice race that they did before this he actually failed it twice I'm interested to see how he goes straight right here on void side one Minster two and three very nice nice that trick Thanks about one second the losses of the lien so well yeah what we saw in Boyd side as he was doing triple minster clip was he's doing a little bit of camera manipulation to get the last elevator before that neck Minnie Nicki to spawn where he wants it to so he can instantly just kind of roll and jump onto it instead of have to wait till the the second-to-last elevator sinks to the bottom where the last elevator normally spawns so just a little bit of nice time saved there so something interesting coming up on screen do and I were talking about that that's a little bit less time saved than doing the normal jump roll setup but if you miss it late if you miss the normal setup plate that saves a little bit more time you do die if that's it well there yeah he had a chance to save him keep going the mic on if you if you're too late all right here he actually let go of the jumper all right there because here in a little bit it's actually not gonna allow you to do this rolling through the air glitch anymore so he's gotta head and setting it up from here he will have to actually like not cheat and play the game so here's a little bit of mind card usage avoid finishing off poison plan right there little minecart lots of tire rolls yeah again being go try tire rolls at home yo a lot of time it'll just yeah and you'll just walk right off you gotta make sure you are right or left of center it's not we're seeing a little more traditional setup right here for void don't think just that what's that that's what happens going out here into blackout basement first ooh one of my favorite levels just to run in general no st hours with jump rolls or anything every 61 frames that believe it is the lights will go out I don't know why it's not just 60 but the lights will just turn off so they'll have to obviously have a level memorized if you mess anything up how to deal with it as you saw skipping that checkpoint right there so can be a very terrifying level the very fun to run a few extenders he'll do to skip the ropes bit faster fully extend this to get over this last any nice blackout based on your cleaner [Applause] all right let's count the slap slides yeah in terms of optimizing this boss fight you just want to know when to land on the first thing so that chain jump up and kill the second one as soon as possible yeah it's not quite as simple in every case of just jumping it immediately like this one right here if he jumps immediately he's gonna get actually bit by the second one here we're gonna hopefully see some slaps like 300 actual you little doggie nice five what am on cloud well done thanks not bad frame perfect' pressing like the diagonal like Brighton left or right and down and left him down and why at the same time now I like to always is the truth world's one through five in this game are you jockeying for position that's the regular-season these are the playoffs right here this level is the most important level in the run by far you know again we're seeing a little bit of a gap between the players right now Boyd's gotta finish off the boss but right here we got creme Tut and bird Tut coming up yeah they jump roles two different jump roles you can do krempe I believe saves around 50 seconds birds around 40 yeah they're both very substantial and it might decide the run of the race brother got cream truck coming up right here gotta chop and get this oil can always actually opting out of krempe pretty wise decision considering he has that lead because it is the riskier of the two these do pop and all the man has a reputation as a frame machine and it just coming out today oh I forgot to count Floyd's flap slides I'm so sorry I've failed so what you're seeing here is do is actually kind of you lose a little bit of height every couple of seconds a little like a pixel every few seconds and he's doing that to get past some of these bees here so when you see them kind of rotating like that that's what he's doing he's making sure he's not gonna get hit by the bees after hitting this frame perfect trick yeah using just a little bit of a visual cue of one that second not he falls off right there well done all right so we'll see I I anticipate void is going to do crimped up to try and close the gap a little bit and reward for getting to nail that frame perfect Richter's you get to control Randy he had built-in input delay yeah let's look over at boys on screen he's got the setup early yes no Randy controls like a tank he's gonna you know be slow to lay on bed its how punishing this game can be you're gonna have some days where you just nail all the frames again Boyd's got the red room list he knows how that feels like and other days they just you can only be so consistent with frame perfect absolutely so we saw dude kind of dumped Rambi you can do a little bit of a more dangerous crack you can actually jump off the platform into the second Minster and use kind of the launch you get from that hit to just save a little bit of time but not a big deal so we've got another sjr setup coming here oh yeah this is a slalom estrella it's holden SFR which stands for super free roll so how it works is you just super jump into the rope go down the rope and then just roll off and you in the Estrella state basically discovered someone recently a last few months in the last month or two yeah yes though take it kind of baseball just takes the frame perfectness out of the trick exactly yeah because previously we would use it use super jumpers and frame perfect so yes just the jump role portion of it so being able to do you know the roll for free is really nice [Applause] who's got two levels left right here coming into loopy light sort of obviously a variation on blackout basement always has to know how to react these different enemies has to have the level obviously very well memorized as you would in any speed run to make sure you can handle how high they jump they're Michael Jordan right now we got Boyd here on the right side of your screen coming in having control Randy as well oh that beaver can be a real pain he's you know if you don't hit him at the right kind of the right spot you end up kind of just walking into the wall like that again Randy designed to have input delay so they have to be able to work around that they want to hold Randy for a while because he is good for dealing with a lot of these different enemies and I will be using him first very important coming up we glossed over it to side yeah we'll say if you just dumped them there's boy doing the damage boost right everybody opting for some back boosting and then roll through these not ease right here all right Stu coming in to realist be the final real level in the run it's a very very challenging arguably the hottest level in the game absolutely that also has another jump roller has the final frame after the trick of this run just I would getting his super jump and getting his s every art very good yeah even though it's an SF are there is a little bit of difficulty to it if you when you're rolling if you bonk on that wall you'll lose all your speed and it's better to just jump out alright let's do it too late on the way up there so he's gonna have to play out the rest of this stage the second half is like very difficult it's very fun to watch as well though in my opinion knowing how to deal with all these different enemies than work around like enemies that didn't yeah a lot of those Ryan just stay on these platforms too long a lots of really tight roles you start I'm doing extender there he kind of had to delay and make sure the naughty was kind of spawned in the right way so lots of dumb jump there I can see why it's called that at least a checkpoint right there starting to give that window of opportunity the most difficult level in the run yeah taking the safer route they're very wise don't know why I didn't do that to be a mess man it's alright you better get to know me did barrel that's not gonna people the donkey gods right there my boy Winston go for it don't worry now he's gonna hit the jumper also he's not gonna have a chance to you oh that's true good point [Music] all right we got Boyd going into platform perils themselves even just like that it might look a little mundane you barely make it onto that platform that is tried to do and again getting down extendo to roll underneath that be in a lot of speed dealing with these army weaving his way through them quick to note looking over here on boys actually it's actually faster to have donkey at the end of that boss because his fanfare is pasta oh no oh no but a little early on the roll there and grab the barrel yeah it's just like a subtle little thing we talked about a little at the very beginning of the run they have to know when to let go of why that is bad Diddy is magnetic to that DK wants to save his buddy Boyd stop that hit avoid come on in the chat if you're out there oh the slap slides for the fans big fan over on Golden Bear oh I got a Golden Bear ooh apparently that's technically slower to do but okay not that slow you have to do it we got a lot we've been talking about right here but again it is faster to just have Donkey Kong like this is easily the longest stretch your Donkey Kong in the course of this game and apparently you save a little bit of time in addition to just the faster fanfare at the end of the boss they're healthy jumps apparently a lot easier oh yeah I seem like you have a little bit more of a more frame like more time to land without getting hit avoids the I guess the actual bounce off the boss right there before the fake credits you actually save frames right there with donkey so it's not a weird little places but donkey just dips it coming at the end of you like yeah it was all me you know I think this run is a really good summation about how important the frames are at an elite level cuz you hit a couple boy didn't hit any and they're still the same boss but at the same time but there's like that was really the big difference they both died right form perils you know avoids only deaths were related to frames ride other than the one in peril yeah you know it's their their important way to at an elite level it saves a lot of time in the end so we got time coming up force two here will be as soon as his final Nintendo ban banana lands on the ground and very good [Applause] some boy coming up on his very real credit as well right now Skype you got a couple more donations maybe want to read as we're going through this boss all right sounds good and I think this is appropriate right now twenty dollars from

again yellow killer view will be up for host night thank you very much take it away interview hi I'm Faisal and I'm here with our two runners from this dkc race that we just saw they're there with Voight and Stu hey guys hey great race thank you so man the jump rolls huh those things kind of define the speed run it seems to me right oh for sure yeah those things can save anywhere from you know eight seconds on the short end to 40 seconds on the high end so the run becomes a very variable very quickly making a very exciting races yeah but it also makes I guess overall times less consistent because like it just adds a lot of variance to the run so like you could go from anywhere from a 32 to 35 if you're a top player if you don't hit any jump rolls right so for a race like this I mean you don't even know what what to expect when you don't know what to expect but it's also what makes it exciting exactly yeah and and like the tables can turn at any point right well let's take a look at one of them let's take a look at the the first jump roll that Stu got there okay all right so here we go and see you set it up so there's a one frame trick yeah so what I was I was going for a rope skip there which is about 0.9 seconds and I and I missed it so that's a small thing but more importantly here I'm gonna take damage and the Diddy Kong flies off-screen and I'm gonna do a double jump here to manipulate the camera so I can end up getting four kremlings at the end of the day and I use kind of my iframes to get off the ledge and press Y at the same time to get like inside the cremes hitbox and then I'm able to go backwards with that jump roll and you can see the speed disparity between void and myself it's about 20 seconds between him and the sjr was what I had in vs just a super jump which is what void hit so how consistent would you say you two are at each individual one of those tricks um I think for that one we just saw a force frenzy is what people probably best attribute to me is that my success on that one claiming like 90 percent consistency it's probably like 75 percent but I think with with most jump rolls my average probably bout 50 percent with a lot of practice you can't like it pretty good on good days you can turn pretty much every jump roll into a coin flip yeah yeah but this one is like so when I do attempts I usually reset over that one so okay because the time save is just to use at the beginning of the run mm-hmm right well so for a marathon you can't do that I mean yeah exactly so whoa I I had to suck it up pretty much right I mean so what does that do to you missing that that first that first one I mean what does that do to your confidence to you know the other jump roles that you think yes there's there are two ways of missing that trick and in particular first yes Jr's so if you're too early that's a much bigger deal than if you're too late that time I was too late so I was still able to option select into the super jump so I didn't lose as much time as I could have I I went through early I would have needed to kill myself and try at the stage again right and there are a few places where when you you missed this trick you you know might die or depending on you know which direction you missed it so given that it's that risky why do you still do that in a race during a live run like this because it's faster it is unless you screw it up and yeah it's faster so I just don't miss this I think I think the what it comes down to is that when you're racing against high level opponents your strategies have to change and so like if you're racing someone who might have a 37 or a 38 you might not go for forced frenzy as the top tier player because it's not worth the risk of dying because you don't need it to win but when you're going against other people who have 32 s you know or 33 is you know that they have a 50% chance of hitting every jump roll so like if you don't take the opportunity they will and they'll get ahead you can't you can't risk that right and I imagine you kind of want to show off the game at its best and really show what the community is very focused on you know getting good at things like that's not our idea of knowing for all of them yeah yep okay yeah and you just sort of accept the risk I mean that's kind of brutal like how do you how do you just deal with that on a day to day basis without just went into snatcher Cartman we haven't already snapped for real you just gotta accept that it's part of the game really like it's part of the game as part of the run you know that's some days you're gonna have bad days like today I didn't have the best run I didn't hit any frames but like I mean like in my PB I hit every single one of them so like I don't really have anything to complain about yep alright well um let's talk about what you guys got you into speedrunning and like what you do in more broad sense so stew what did you what got you started in speedrunning what were you doing so I just remember that I was looking for stuff to watch online and I happen to pong twitch and you know I I do play like League of Legends and stuff like that so at first I kind of watched them with that oh but what but that did really hold my interest as much I somehow stumbled upon the speedrunning inside though and I was like man this is exciting getting to watch all of my old favourite games and just get destroyed and they did it so fluidly it was like it was like art to be honest and I remember I was watching this guy void plate dkc2 darbian playing Super Mario Brothers one and lackattack doing smrpg so you know all those guys really got me excited to try my hand at this and I just I liked dkc just because it was all strict platforming so there was no RNG and it was a good sized length so it wasn't like it may be like robotic so I that's kind of what it got me into it and the encouragement from the community they've just been absolutely phenomenal shouts to everyone and the donkey me who came out to support today man there they're just the best people out there they're rolling and rolling in all right well speaking of the community void you've been around the speedrun scene for a while so what's it like like seeing this guy who was watching you now competing up with you on this thing I think it's great because it just goes to show that you can do anything you want if you put the effort and time into it so like you started from the bottom just like me and now he's here on stage just like me and yeah that's really exciting you think it changes the game a lot having all these new people filtering into it ah yeah kind of because the more people the more people who get involved in the runs the lower the times get and and such and like the more active the community becomes that as a result so how did you get your start in speedrunning and when was that that wasn't twenty honestly late 2012 or early 2013 I was just learning about twitch and I stumbled upon stag lenox sm64 runs when he was doing is a crazy month of August when he was doing like 12 hours of attempts every single day and that's what got me started but like I didn't really pay much attention to that like back then I was mostly a Magic the Gathering player I was playing a lot and I played last know what days because I mostly speedrun but um yeah back then I stumbled him through siglemic stream and then later on early 2013 I stumbled upon PG stream looking for donkey kong country runs actually back then his twitch name was new hit retro hippy but he was actually the first donkey runner I started watching and afterwards I was like this looks fun let me try it out so busted out the emulator busted out the USB PlayStation controller Wow I went in with some some uncensored runs Wow who wants to speed run on a Playstation controller not me but alright well so what was the speedrun like back then in 2030s Oh back then there were no Super Jump rolls we would only be doing a few jump rows Berta which do you got and one in platform perils which none of us got but uh yeah that was about it you could you could still do the aerial glitch and minecart madness and you could I don't remember if you could do map form I know map warp was banned at some point but it got unbanned but yeah some people are not okay with math work being undone but we'll just say that shots are called on for interesting to see the the run changed so much all over that time probably a little more frustrating now that these new tricks are added I can get with and like before it's funny because like back then we were complaining and the run only had three jump URLs like them now it has eight yeah so I really didn't knew back then like how lucky we were right like the run being not as then run didn't have as much variance isn't that now does but it is what it is like I said like more the more people came into the community the more tricks get discovered and so on and so forth and that's how as jr's I ended up happening now you both run all three of the dkc right and you do you started out in 100% and doing the hundred yeah two and three I was a hundred percent main I really liked the completionist side of things that's where I got my start it was only from the urging of my community where they're like when are you gonna run any percent when are you gonna run any person that that's what actually finally you know made me pull the trigger be like okay okay we'll try this out but loved 103 percent alright so of the three games which one do you like best I have a very special place my heart for 103 percent in particular it was my first ever speedrun when I was a kid I was like I said I was a completionist and I could never find the last banana bird that was the one thing that always told me I got 101 percent I got 102 percent but I just couldn't get dkc3 is 103 percent so I was like you know what we're gonna go into donkey and we're gonna beat this so that I can give redemption for my child self oh no so I just I love that run it's so fun what about you of the three games what do you like that for three games I like donkey to by far but it's a tough call between any percent and wanted to I want to say any percent because the length really makes it accessible and the tricks are really cool tools to see and watch why don't you is a lot more movement it's intensive but overall 80% maybe gets a slight edge what have you spent the most time with of all the games in categories dkc2 - yeah from again probably any per since it's funny because like the better you get an 80% and the better you also get at one or two percent of movement transfers you only have to adapt a couple strats and whatnot so like Mike's - said he started with 103 and because he started with 103 he already like was pretty good at any percent when he picked up dkc3 80% so if you're gonna go home and grind any of your PBS than any of the categories of any of the games what's it gonna be next next is a 102 percent bring it back to Canada nice okay cool so what else do you play outside of dkc games I spear she's Ireland's Super Mario RPG and a few Megaman games but my main focus is definitely the Donkey Kong Country trilogy what do you think we'd see from you from gdq from any of those games besides DK Stevie or nothing that's that's actually something like I've been thinking about for a long time like trying to find a game I would actually put as much time as I did in dkc and try to bring it on the big stage but I've I haven't settled on something yet I I don't know like I have good times in Yoshi's Island in Super Mario RPG but there are better people than me so I'd like I feel like they are better suited to showcase the runs and whatnot okay well unless you really buckle down and went for one of them I mean you could I could just say that donkey realm for now yeah I mean it is my real nothing yeah all right Stu so what other games do you work on besides dkc so first for speedrunning I do like I said all the Donkey Kong Country series for this nest I also do starting in 2018 I start doing a lot of Mario stuff so I picked up Super Mario World 96 exit hype icked up Super Mario Brothers 1 all warpless I picked up Super Mario Brothers to the USA version all levels I mean the process of learning the smb3 a hundred percent I got up to world I'm done learning world 5 so I got a few more worlds left there and then I do have the intention of learning the Lost Levels so that I can do the whole all-stars Kart the back-to-back I really like like just like the trilogy and donkey I really like that idea of just doing all right Mario games yeah yeah exactly and now you do a lot of other competitive stuff outside of speedrunning yeah right yeah so I have a long history of like the competitive nature so did a lot of like racquetball and tennis and stuff like that the racket sports when I was you know back in college I did a lot of ddr back in high school and then that translate over to Guitar Hero which I was able to do a tournament at my college as well which is really fun I do League of Legends right now on the side so I got a teen that we're in the Platinum division so it's not like super high but not super low either we do we do pretty well and so it's fun so I like anything where I can show that I can work hard and and and and prove that I can accomplish something it's it the payoff is always awesome I love that that's cool it's nice to see those kinds of those skills sort of feed into speedrunning is yeah fuel that same competitiveness oh for sure they give you that that structure that like you know let's let's make a goal let's do the practice let's get there you know whether you like it or not like it transfers over right like like for me like I play competitive magic the gathering and not so much anymore but like I used to a lot and like it's the same like you gotta adapt and learn and eventually like you get to the level of the people you were looking up to and Australia what makes it exciting yeah definitely I experienced the same thing well we have a couple of Twitter questions and it looks like all of them are addressed by voice through the darling and Twitter here Wow I might not have well there you go well in that case well either if you can answer these questions the first question we have here void or stew what is your favorite trick in the game and why and did you see one yeah this morning ah creme Tut's because it's always saves the run true I'm I'm a fan of the extendo it's a it's a simple mechanic but it makes you the run feels so fluid so good answer actually I like it you can change your answer it's not to run okay all right this one's kind of controversial I'm not even sure if we can read this on err but I guess we'll take a chance here so who is the best Kong definitely not kitty oh come on definitely not kitties so good job my boy its I was neither Diddy or funky funky has a lot of swag going for him but did he has the slick movement so we're all my gonna go with kitty Oh Eddy yeah yeah I would say Diddy is is the best Kong but I will say kitty is a very close second closer than people would like to admit he is a darling he wears the onesie he can water balance what more do you need out of Cod oh we don't talk about dk64 we all talk about yeah that's not a thing all right well that happens look the next question here this is uh oh man what is the most frustrating way to die in a dkc Iran I feel like this is kind of a bad question to ask when you died to kremser because it didn't save the run that's exactly what I was gonna say so I'm gonna I'm gonna change my answer then the the worst way to die in a dkc1 run is when you are on pee pee pastes and you are in loopy lights at the very end and you get blasted by a barrel by the last manky kong which has happened to me and is it is just so soul-crushing it has a long history with loopy lights oh alright well thank you so much for talking with me here and great run that was really entertaining the crowd really got into it so thanks so much thank you yeah great alright we're gonna throw it back
