[Commentary] Lagoon deathless speedrun in
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- This run was achieved back in December 2015, but I didn't have any audio commentary uploaded to RUclips. Since this is probably the one run for which commentary is most requested, I figured I'd go back and record it!
In the audio commentary, I cover basically everything that I care to talk about, but I guess I can give some quick summary points. This run is deathless, not only because it is faster, but also because this "category" necessitates it. I had no plans of improving this because everything went basically exactly the way I wanted it to go, but upon rewatching I think I found a few improvements that I want to look into. I might return to this run to try to get a 1:1X, but I am not making any promises.
I hope you enjoyed this run, and I also hope that the commentary is at least partially coherent.

The PJ commentary renaissance is here and I'm LIVING
I've always said he's got unique insight. It's great to hear him ruminate about his runs.
"There is a spot here that is pretty flexible, probably 4 pixels."
I just love this speedrunning commentary.
Alright, PJ, how about a 100% run coming up?? We all need to see shiny ball in action!
Also very excited about this run! The ADGQ 2016 run is one of my favorites of all time. Lagoon gave me hell as kid, so it's particularly satisfying seeing it completed so well. Getting commentary on the legendary save-less/death-less run is fantastic
That's the run that introduced me to him, and it's definitely one of my favs. Seeing someone having so much fun demolishing a game that was the source of so much stress for me as a child was cathartic. I imagine it's how someone who grew up only allowed to learn classical music feels the first time they see someone having a jam session. It's like "oh... this is supposed to be......... fun? :o"
That run was amazing, especially appreciated the pause for cave music.
PJ, I can easily distinguish the blue from the white. I think maybe there's something wrong with your video codec or perhaps your monitor?
PJ is the reason I ever started watching speed runs as often as I do. Enjoyable commentary, great personality, and great speed running. Keep it up PJ!
i agree, PJ is by far my favourite speedrunner, great commentary and humour. interesting pool of games he runs and very skilful at making routes.
Lakeland has a drinking problem. The answer is PJ. (that or more booze, but they're out.)
joking aside, this is a weird beloved title fomr my earlier years. Nothing special about the memory, it was just one of the games I played with my friends alongside SGnG and Mario World.
Sweet, been wanting this commentary run for a long time!
Is it just me, or is the commentary slightly de-synced with the video? Look at PJ's counting in the ella fight: 1:04:34
It's not really a big deal for a video like this, but I thought I should point it out. Also, I think you forgot to cover the lava jumping in dwarf cave, but that's also not as much of a trick as it is just exploiting normal mechanics. Overall, an enjoyable video.
Lagoon deathless....PJ you are a sick, sick man, but damn it I salute you
I love it when people deal with this game. I hope to see this game's TAS be updated one day soon (last made in 2005!)
I remember watching this speedrun back those years ago, awesome with commentary! I learned a lot
Your Lagoon run at AGDQ 2016 is what got me watching you. Glad to see this commentary!
Oh thank god I thought you decided to run this again 3 weeks ago. Even for you, one who has accomplished _twice_ what TAS cannot, more Lagoon is too much to take.
Your ability to hit enemies is amazing. I've played through this game not too long ago, and hitting enemies is extremely difficult.
It's very satisfying seeing this done in under 90 mins after all those hours I spent walking in circles in Philips Castle... Ice Cave... and Lagoon Castle
Great speed run! I actually have always liked Lagoon, agree it's not a great game but I had fun with it. Very good music also.
Great video 👍! As a fellow RUclipsr, I am always looking for new ideas! Great Job!
I'm super impressed with this run. However, I'm even more impressed that I beat this game as a kid.....like how TF did I do that? I remember the very first cave with the demons used to scare me too.
Always love to see your vids PJ. Good to hear from you.
I know you always say how bad this game is, but this game was a staple game of mine growing up. As an 8-year old, the plot holes and mistranslations didn't register and as far as I was concerned, this was an awesome game. God forbid if I tried to speedrun it though.
Love PJ’s commentary
I love the commentary that the rest of team PLC did for your Lagoon runs in the past. Hysterical stuff. Also, we interrupt this speed run to talk about this beer.
@JLW2490 Which run was this? It sounds like one I have to watch.
Oh man, link please. Wasn't Klaige on that one? I love their banter
Hey PJ, finally found my way here after watching your GDQ run of this more times than I can count. Love your commentary and how much you seem to genuinely enjoy playing these sorts of "awful" games, it makes me smile and is helping me through some dark times. You're great, keep it up!
Also kinda makes me want to play Lagoon. Might do it.
Do it. The game's not like super hard to play, the main problems are the same things that make the speedrun a pain. The game is cryptic at times, enemies can hide in the background because its on two separate layers, and some of the bosses are a bitch to fight, but its not as bad as it may seem.
Hey sup dude, i played this game when i was kid and i have the physical game with me.
Greetings!
Pdt: and the Opening i love it.
Your Lagoon gdq run's hilarity is what originally turned me onto you.
Could you do a commentary for Equinox?
Idk if I'll do commentary for my Equinox speedrun, but I do want to do a clean max score run of Equinox. If I ever get around to that, I'll upload that with commentary.
@@TheSuperSNESThatd be sweet. I just started watching your snes superstars run of it. I had a lot of fun watching you develope Equinox, i even caught the end half of your blind speedrun :)
All fire is truth fire.
PJ thank you for sharing all your hard work on these retro games. They have all been entertaining. I especially love your Enix Saga runs as well. I sit back in awe when I watch these, and glad that someone else shares my fondness of these games. Great job, brother! 😀 It mattered! 😇
Ah yes, my favorite item of any game... the Dumbass Key.
Sick run, PJ, your Lagoon run at GDQ '16 is one of the three best runs I've seen in the history of GDQ.
"....What is this place................... I don't Care... this is some town" - PJ Also PJ "Mateus i think? he shows up in the beginning cutscene, he raised me. Thor was there too, but was raised by the other dude... i think.. i'm pretty sure? I don't know, it doesnt matter, but he was important to the plot, and we watched him die".
PJ, bro. I fell in love with you, and speed running in general, when i saw you run this at agdq, like, 10 years ago? When you had puwexil and brosentia on the couch with you. Shit was amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes. I hated this game. You made it look so stupidly easy and that was it. I was hooked on speed running. You're still my favorite runner. I love these commentaries of your older runs. You're a legend in my book, and you seem like the nicest dude ever. Hope you're well, much love. Thank you for getting me into the scene.
Addendum: I think it was puwexil and klaige on the couch.
Thanks so much for the very kind words!
So does this mean we can expect a lawnmower man commentary soon?
Hahaha. Nope!
@@TheSuperSNES one can dream.
Is this a WR?
It is!
My sister and I have always loved Lagoon. We rewatch PJ’s speedrun videos of it pretty often.
It's a testament to how much everyone loves Lagoon that this video has no dislikes.
Or maybe is PJ.
Out of curiosity, does the tri-shot fireball (the big fire ball specifically, not the tiny ones) deal substantially more damage to be worth using? Like versus the original fireball or windblade, I mean.
It does! I don't have numbers, but it does a LOT of damage to the enemies in the Siegfried Castle basement. Idk if it is that much stronger than wind magic, or if those enemies are just resistant to wind magic, but it is definitely worth using over the small fireball or the wind cutter.

I am glad I am alive.
my favoite game this is great thanks
PJ is a master, this game is no joke
Yaaaaaaayyyy!!!
A miracle happened by the power of the secret place.
I love how you call it single segment. I haven't heard that term in a LONG time. Wow. I think the term these days is Ironman or Permadeath.
'The part of him I can hit' is hurtbox.
Thank you PJ! This content burst has been amazing.
