Marathon Highlights/Bloopers/SPECIAL SURPRISE

Glitching EB 1 flying man at a time

Highlights:

Clutch Mother Brain and Zeromus fights are tops.
PJ showing off glitches in Battletoads (and the NES BToads Double Dragon) in the practice room was awesome.
I missed the actual DKC run, but I did see TJP practicing the rolljump.
Lagoon, obviously!
The highlight from my speedrun was the last Pete battle. I have never had luck that good on him, ever (probably gotten that time at least one other time, though). I think the pattern he chose is a very small chance to get in a straight run through from what I've experienced.

And many many more highlights, but too many for me to remember right now.

Only blooper I can think of right now that stands out is Romscout picking the wrong boss order in MMX, haha.

Quote from Aitamen:

S2 metro 2 skip in good time, on the first shot at the glitch itself, followed shortly after by missing the Met 3 bolt glitch to a crush death. highlight -> blooper, heh. (Met 3 skip is much easier than the Met 2 skip, personally, though I'm sure I'm one of few).

All of the singing was awesome.

The Group Hug.

Yea metro 3 skip is way way easier so i was really annoyed that i died there when the metro 2 skip is ridiculously stupidly random/hard/gay sometimes (I have a video of myself practicing metro 2 at the marathon and literally missing it 9 or 10 times in a row, maybe more, but trying to convince everyone that it was still about even on time because of how long the level usually takes), especially when i did the same skip in metro 1 already once (I actually swear I hit the timing properly cuz i literally never die there ever, i think the controller just didn't accept my input)... Dying on chem plant 2 was my favorite blooper, its one of those stupid "gah i'm a retard, restart" single segment speedrun moments that happens but the public never gets to see. The 2nd metro 3 death was a pretty typical speedrunning moment as well of "hey, i'm actually here waiting, i bet i can squeeze through this tiny gap if i just release my spindash now!" fail.

I need to send out a thank you card to mercuryzelda for hitting so many caps. I don't know why i kept missing them, but she saved a bunch of seconds by expediently jumping on them for me and saving my ass :-D.

Favorite highlight was everyone joking about andrewg doing a small run in smw, obviously not doing it, then losing the cape and trying to remember how to do it the small way. I was really hoping he could be clutch and get to the keyhole without the cape somehow!

Willing to teach you the impossible

Best highlight/blooper was BT trolling PJ in a practice run. PJ crashed the game, said the game was over and started to walk away. The game uncrashed itself to kill PJ out of spite. I died LOLing, no joke. I really really with we had that recorded some how...

Oh god yes. That made my entire week. It was legit crashed, too. Entire screen was black except the Toad and the gear. Returned back to normal and flattened me out. That was soooo good. Hahahaha.

@Stanski

Yeah, the CP2 death was no biggie, because it's just something that happens because I usually stop paying attention about then, heh.

the Met3 spike death was also something that I tend to do a lot... "I totally got... squished?"

Magical Quest, the second boss fight: 6:40-7:05

Mickey_Mage gets a nice quick kill. I'm sorry I missed your run, so far what I've watched is really good.

PJ and I agreed that at least one, if not both, rat boots should make it into the highlight reel. If it can be only one, I'll leave it up to popular opinion whether PJ carefully choreographing his rat boot (From 21:34-22:03 or so in the video), or my managing to hit it on the fly (24:33-24:45), is the more impressive of the two.

Yeah, it's a pity you missed it, Mike. Not bad for my first time playing in front of that many people.

A single moment from Yellow which reflects SMK's run-long battle with the Random Number God, 2:09:23 to 2:09:33: "Okay, I just hope it doesn't use Fire Spin. That's all I hope." Similarly, the Smog shenanigans are from around 2:05:30 to 2:06:40.
And, of course, the final instance of 'SDA defeated CANCER!' at 2:26:44 (the EPICALLY TENSE battle begins at 2:25:00).

nate getting Early Wild in Metroid Prime 1 is around 23:30, with the explanation starting a bit earlier.
Prime 2's cutscene/item-loss skip starts at 02:10 or so.

That should be the last one in the video.

I've gotten several clips cut already, anything marked with a * doesn't need timestamps any more.

For now I plan on putting them in chronological order, but I might be convinced otherwise.

We all scream for Eyes Cream

I think it was at the very end Resident Evil 4 when we were giving people a chance to donate for Carcinogen's broken disc.

Yes, it was right at the end of RE4. Sorry, no timestamp, I haven't watched the recordings yet.

A pretty funny but subtle moment was when Rane was reading some donation comments. I don't remember which day it was, all I have is the timestamp from the chat log, which doesn't include the date. Apparently someone's comment had been missed, so the guy made an another donation saying explicitly that since he is attention whore (sic) he wanted his name to be announced.
When Rane was reading that comment he saved it pretty well, and the end result was "[...] and since I'm an attention [short pause] person, [...]"
I think I'm the only one who caught Rane's ability to keep it PG13 Cheesy

Quote from Chatlog:

[08:54] <+Bromazepam> Rane: an attention... person? Cheesy

[08:55] <@RaneofSoTN-1> wel its pg13 so i yeah =D

Since the Halo video is not up yet, I can't do timestamps, but Cody Miller repeatedly falling off the cliff at the start of Truth and Reconciliation should be a blooper. I know the main issues with the run were with enemy AI, but those falls were all Cody. I had to go when he fell off three times, so maybe it was more, but it's just asking for a quick montage of dying.
