  • This might be my best speedrunning achievement to pull off at a live GDQ. This run has zero losses or restarts from start to finish, including the bonus Donkey Kong fight at the end. I not only defeated everyone first try, but I beat every opponent in ROUND 1 under marathon pressure!
    In this run, I mentioned that this was a new PB (personal best) time for me, but this is a non competitive category since I picked it up primarily for my live run at SGDQ, so by a technicality it is also a world record. I just generally don't like advertising world records as such if categories have zero competition, but because I've gotten so many questions about it, I figured I should at least acknowledge it in my description.
    This was timed with real time (RTA) during SGDQ, but since I never lost or restarted a fight, this can also technically be timed with the in-game time sum of all the fights in the game. This alternate timing method ends up being a 35:45.45 for in-game timing!
    I was thinking of adding fight-by-fight comments, but I figured a better method would be to just add a commentated version later on down the road. I would do it sooner, but my voice is still kind of shot from SGDQ, haha.
    Anyways, enjoy!

The sheer amount of serotonin that shoots through my system whenever I grab a star punch is nothing less than amazing. I already have so much respect for Zallard1 after watching this speedrun multiple times, but after playing the game, my respect and admiration for him just tripled.

      True but then again he could just remember saying something he doesn’t know
      And then do a star punch

    Hehe, tiger talks in Hindi,

    "Dain se"
    Means
    "Where's your concentration?"
