    Wow, cool to see Silent Wolf, a melee player is also a great DKC1 speed runner, cool to see James Chen, a FGC commentator, teacher, and news reporter reading donations, and it's cool to see Mang0 a melee god, donating during the run. United we stand.

    The DKC games go alongside Yoshi's Island as platformers that are so well designed that watching a well-executed speedrun is almost as entertaining as playing the game yourself. This relay race was one of my favourite events from AGDQ 2017.

    Wow, a DKC relay? That's pretty awesome!

    • @k-leb4671
      @k-leb4671 Před 7 lety

      I like DKC3 a lot, but it is a bummer that there are multiple auto-scroller levels that force you to stay within the screen. There's no reason logic-wise as to why the Kongs can't keep moving up and up past the saw or burning rope in Ripsaw Rage and Kong-Fused Cliffs respectively.
      Once again I'm surprised that they think that DKC3's difficulty is a brick wall in comparison to the previous games. I always though DKC1 had the worst difficulty curve, with Snow Barrel Blast being a 10m brick wall. K3 in comparison to Mekanos didn't feel too much more difficult to me as a kid. DKC2 probably had the best difficulty curve.
      I was hoping that Team Kiddy would win, Kiddy being the underdog...but oh well. Diddy is the fastest character after all.

    • @antilles58
      @antilles58 Před 7 lety

      Yeah it's definitely a bummer that there's not a great way to skip those autoscrollers. the TAS can skip Burn Your Rope with a long series of frame perfect inputs, and there is a zip you can do to skip about 12 seconds of Ripsaw in the 103% run, but sadly that's all.
      I was referring more specifically to W6,7, and 8 being where the difficulty picks up a lot in DKC3. K3 and Mekanos are probably comparable - agreed. It's just that the jump from W5 to W6 in difficulty is very abrupt, IMO. I agree - DKC2 has the smoothest curve.

  • @k-leb4671
    @k-leb4671 Před 6 lety +2

    2:19:10
    "DKC1 and DKC2 have very nice, natural difficulty curves. I mean, the worlds get gradually harder as you progress through the game."
    I don't understand why this guy still says this. Maybe it was just me, but Gorilla Glacier in DKC1 was a brick wall to the face when I used to play it. I would not say that DKC1 has a natural difficulty curve.
    As for DKC2...yeah, that sounds about right.

    • @kanis999
      @kanis999 Před 7 lety +6

      The goal is to raise more money by having donors choose whether or not they want the animals at the end of super metroid to be killed. It is sort of a side quest.

    • @ThatWolfWithShades

    • @antilles58
      @antilles58 Před 7 lety +5

      At the end of Super Metroid, there's an option to either save some friendly animals or just leave them behind. It's faster to skip them, but nicer to save them. So there's a bid war that goes throughout the marathon, highest total decides.

      It's called a jumproll. Basically, just press Y on a frame where you're falling on an enemy yet still on the ground (ie, the game still lets you roll, but you're starting to bounce off of an enemy).

    Team Kiddy lost loads of time when the signal was lost. Pretty sure Void had to wait for it to come back, so the team lost time.
    I also think it would've been better to count the individual times, add those, and then see what team won.

    • @MrHuumpf
      @MrHuumpf Před 7 lety +1

      He didn't. Just pay attention to his hands when the screen fades in and out. He waits on the map before starting levels so the audience doesn't miss it.

    • @JustCGR
      @JustCGR Před 7 lety

      He did. He was on a boss fight when the signal was lost for the second time. He was probably waiting for the boss death animation to end and then, coincidently the signal was reestabilished. If he waited for it anyway, he only lost a few seconds.

    • @kanis999

      Triathlon would be more like each player doing all 3 games - relay is when you have a team and everybody does a different leg of the race.

      Ben Rush yes, but those aren’t part of the main trilogy. Returns and Tropical Freeze were released more than 10 years after
