why bother watching it live if you're not one of those /v/ psychos who fantasize about murdering half the people there? gdq is fun but I only care about the tetris block and some other stuff and I can deal with waiting a couple days to watch it on my terms.

I dunno, some can be entertaining, mostly games that I know really well and See what kind of glitches are there I never have seen before... But I am not really interested in the times they run

Probably the best way to watch the stuff you are really interested in, there is a lot of stupid filler which isnt interesting, I get where you are coming from

Yeah, but you dont see them that much imo, at least the portions I have seen sofar. But I only casually click the stream to see if there something interesting, so maybe I just kiss them all the time.

Do you think GDQ, with a current viewership of 130k people watching LIVE right now, need to shill their stream on 4chan (whose userbase they no doubt hate), on /vr/ of all boards - probably one of the least populated boards on the site?

Then ya did it wrong, you need to gloat and make fun of the loser as well as combine that the winner keeps to play if there are more ppl. Makes them want to learn real quick :^) especially if an unspoken ranking starts to evolve in the friend group.
We used to play alot of killer instict Gold on n64, the rock paper scissor mechanics were quickly learnt after getting their asses handed to them over and over again

I don't think any approach would work when they just kept making up excuses. If I was at someone's house they'd ban grabs and characters eventually. If I hosted, they'd whine and ask for bans/play something else. In short, they had scrub mentality, as I've read years later. And I didn't have unlimited access to Internet or fightans that could be played online, so fuck the memories. We all were bad in the beginning, but then came time where I improved just by playing and observing instead of making up "fair" rules, and they actively refused to improve and eventually walked away.

>> No.5691894

GDQ-like events tend to be great for learning the routing and thought-process behind certain speedruns, along with some potential interesting quirks about the game, the speedrun's history, etc. If you just straight up look for the top speedruns in a given game, 99% of the time, they won't have any real commentary (because the player will be focusing on doing the run), which means many skips/glitches/movements go unexplained.

But as a lot of people said, the GDQs in particular are shit nowadays. So, eh.

I stopped watching it after AGDQ last year, it's not fun anymore. Too corporate and safe, too many trannies and a lot of the more entertaining runners don't even go anymore.

>> No.5692234

GDQ is much too sanitized of an event these days because they want to keep it squeaky clean for all the big name sponsors the event has now.
All the runners have to think about what they say constantly and it's completely unnatural. Though at least the event does make a lot of money for charity which you can't really be mad at.

None of the runners actually feel this way and this is entirely a projection on the part of people who want to be angry.

There was a time where I would watch it live and try to see the runs that seemed interesting but the event has been shit for at least three years now if not longer. Now I don't even bother watching the runs when they upload them to youtube. The "no fun allowed" and "please shut the fuck up so I can read more donations, greetings from Germany!" way of running the show ruins it.

This is still my favorite thing that came out of GDQ though
