It's super cool that multilingual communities mean that those with less english can still come onto a primarily english speaking show like GDQ and have support while still getting to show their extreme skills. Shout out to the non-english restreams!
Wow! That is now one of my all time favourite runs at AGDQ ... The commentary and the skill by Octopuscal just makes this run legendary. What a game earthbound is!
I think the most impressive part about this is how Ness's nightmare is defeated. Also, watching Octopuscal get the gutsy bat through manipulation after being me and spending hours upon hours grinding for it at the end of the 1/128 challenge is a feel XD
Very impressive! It’s fun to watch the RNG strategies because it turns the game into a bunch of surprises, like watching Ness’ Nightmare knock himself out.
Well they mentioned at the start of the run that one of the things controlling RNG is text getting drawn to the screen… so I wouldn’t be surprised if the RNG manipulation routes just don’t work at all in any other language
@@snuffysamThey do not, such that Earthbound and Japanese Mother 2 have separate leaderboards for every category. Mother 2, having the benefit of Japanese text, is of course faster.

Some say Octopuscal is carrying manipulation to this day
This speedrun is like 5% fighting, 10% talking, 35% walking, and 50% waiting for that damn saucer to fly across the world to find Ness
Sounds like OoT and it's Any%. Half the time is the opening cinematics
As much as a life audience is awesome having more people around the world be able to participate is such a great thing too!
Incredible that a 50 minute run has like 10+ minutes of cutscenes. Such a fun game

Great run! This game is always a fun watch to run, marvelous job Octopuscal!

By far the most impressive speedrun I think I've ever seen and it's my favorite series. Well done!
How did I miss this??? Love the run, Andy is such a great commentator.
Cool run! Also, that virtual audience is really neato. All those hearts during the final fight are so wholesome.
Wow. Last time Earthbound any% was at GDQ, it was almost 2 hours!
Now sub 1!? Amazing
I'm always amazed to see streamers or people in general learning a second language, also amazing work by the runner

Fantastic run & commentary, just the right about of technical explanation while letting the execution speak for itself
This was gold. Highlight for me was Ness' Nightmare just going, "poof."
fantastic couch commentary and run
What a great run! Well done, well done
Here we go, this is the content I was waiting for
Can literally hear my cart crying from the other room well i watch this 'o-o
Great run
congratulations for 2 million raised!!!
Yay, Earthbound!
I feel so dumb that I didn't notice until the end of the run that character's names spell out AGDQ lol
This is nuts!
amazing! love to see Earthbound at AGDQ.
so much love for this game :)
I love this game
Great run!
Loved this run!
i remember putting 300+ hours in this game when it came out on the wii u virtual console. mind blowing to see it absolutely destroyed here. 😂
Life would be better if sandwiches made us double our run speed irl, great run gj Octo!
Is there anywhere where these glitches are explained in detail how to perform them in detail?
"The SNES can't create truly random numbers". No machine can. You want true random, you gotta get quantum mechanical homie.
8:20 i thought they meant King the dog i was so confused haha
I die a little every time I hear someone pronounce the town's name as anything other than Tucson.
great run, but sad to see so much of this beautiful game skipped, i would so enjoy a skipless any% marathon run :D
Whaaat, I tried so long to get the Gutsy Bat in the swamp. I want my hours back from whoever wrote that guide.
Being at threed in less than 15 minutes is crazy wild
Earthbound!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
OutBound : the speedrun
flawless execution
Its very ironic that the EarthBOUND speedrun strategy is out of BOUNDS
Is EarthBound faster than Mother 2? I'd expect games with a "lot" of text to be faster in Japanese
either way this Speedrun is so cool
best game of all time
Is Octopuscal running in English for our benefit? Or is it faster?
Well they mentioned at the start of the run that one of the things controlling RNG is text getting drawn to the screen… so I wouldn’t be surprised if the RNG manipulation routes just don’t work at all in any other language
@@snuffysamThey do not, such that Earthbound and Japanese Mother 2 have separate leaderboards for every category. Mother 2, having the benefit of Japanese text, is of course faster.
Completely unreal
Amazing run! Rep Japan!!!
every computer should have a true source of randomness, obviously I'm referring to radioactive decay.
Am I able to practice this speed run with the SNES Classic?
Yes. Several high level runners use the SNES Classic and it's allowed.
Yeah, all the glitches and manipulations should still be applicable
So, when is Mother 3 coming to the US?
Never :/
ランナーはとても料理上手です ^^
shouldnt the run end once Ness finishes delivering everyone home? Finishing the run after the last hit on giygas is so anti-climatic imo.
Aw cute poem ^_^
When will this go back to in person?
When this pandemic ends, which won't happen very soon as it seems.
@@SkyKidShyKid Covid is here to stay, so probably never.
