I'll admit, part of me was wishing he got game over to see the reaction.

 

[KingBroly]

Holy Crap on a Cracker that was CLUTCH

 

[Gambit61]

That was way more intense than I thought it would be.

 

[Conan-san]

Did we get that explanation as to why Oats retired?

 

[MaximumSpider]

Slow and steady

 

[Death Metalist]

Beautiful.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

THE BABY METROID NO

 

[Murugo]

The frames are saved!

 

[jediyoshi]

rip animals

 

[Aaronrules380]

Did we get that explanation as to why Oats retired?

Once he fell below 301 health winning became impossible, since you need to take a 300 damage hit to get to phase 3

 

[Velcro Fly]

kill the animals!

 

[Conan-san]

Animals, cast in the name of TASBot, Ye Guilty!

 

[Envelope]

Did we get that explanation as to why Oats retired?

you need more than 300 health to advance through mother brain, he fell under that

 

[Veldin]

Mission Accomplished

 

[Death Metalist]

Hell yes, kill those bastards. Glorious race.

 

[mStudios]

Who's the announcer xd ?

 

[explodet]

Geez, about a quarter of all donations went to either killing or saving the animals.
This is why they'll be playing this damn game until 22XX.

 

[jnWake]

That was tense as fuck.

 

[KingBroly]

Was Oats on a WR pace before he died?

 

[RagnarokX]

Behemoth's nickname from now on should be The Tortoise

 

[Mechanized]

Wow, great run. So much hype, glad Behemoth won.

 

[OniBarubary]

Almost a full 4th of the donated amount was dedicated to saving or killing the animals.

So for all the people that are annoyed at hearing it, it's probably not going away any time soon.

 

[Admiral Snackbar]

Absolutely incredible. Good job on Behemoth.

The guy who's known for not dying won because he didn't die, how poetic.

 

[jett]

That was the most brutal SM race yet. I said goddamn. Despite the three deaths, it has never been this tense and thrilling at GDQ. Behemoth is the hero or SGDQ.

And Super Metroid truly is the greatest game ever crafted.

He came pretty damn close at one point though during lower norfair escape

 

[Steejee]

Good lord that was a tense final stretch for Behemoth. Room was dead silent as he went through the end...

 

[BurgerDicks]

Always the best run. I fucking love Super Metroid.

 

[KarmaCow]

Amazing race. Three of them dying may have made the race moot but made the ending all the better for it.

I don't know about specific times, but apart from a missed shinespark, he had a flawless run.

Wasnt there like a super close race one time, like a handful of secs or did I imagine that?

Nope this is the final score

Speedrunners 3 Ridley 1
Speedrunners 2 Draigon 1
Speedrunners 1 Mother Brain 1

 

[FloweryMarston]

the guy that was in 4th won. Cheering for the underdog does pay off

 

[Thaedolus]

Super Metroid was my favorite game of all time 20 years ago, and it keeps delivering.

 

[Crayolan]

Super Metroid always hype. The crowd really got into it this year.

 

[Veldin]

I'll say that was the most entertaining Super Metroid race of any GDQ. Totally unpredictable.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I don't know about specific times, but apart from a missed shinespark, he had a flawless run.

How far ahead of Behemoth was he when he died? If it was a bit more than 2 minutes, than he was definitely on world record pace based on the final time Behemoth got

 

[KingBroly]

SGDQ 2014 was like...4 seconds.

 

[Alucrid]

is 46 a bad time or a good time?

 

[Mashing]

Yeah, that was some clutch morphball skills there.

 

[Envelope]

is 46 a bad time or a good time?

a good time for 99.9999% of people, a sub-average time for top tier SM speedrunners

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

is 46 a bad time or a good time?

WR in Feb 2015 by Zoast was 43:04. Don't know of any more recent times.

 

[Falchion]

I don't really watch Super Metroid but it's cool that the best runners in the world can die that easily. Great run.

 

[Kodaman]

Well, unexpectedly that was the best speedrun of the ones I saw.

dat tension.

 

[Ourobolus]

He died at 39: something

 

[Aaronrules380]

Nevermind my last post, I think it was wrong anyways, seems the time I was looking at was old

 

[jman2050]

any% is such an insane category for a race, it's one of the least marathon-safe options imaginable.
