22:36 check out metal Sonic doing butterfly. A few interesting things about this: First, it is legal to do other strokes during an individual freestyle event. Second, butterfly is theoretically faster than freestyle at a robotic level. The problem with humans is stamina, strength, buoyancy, and the necessity of oxygen
Just to set the record straight, EazySpeezy: Each time you're saying "splitscreen" during Marathon, the term you're looking for is *slipstream.* When you're moving right behind someone (or something) else, they have to push themselves through air that's rushing around them, and that pushed air will go right by you, so you don't have to expend as much energy. You know that mechanic in Mario Kart where if you hang out behind someone long enough you get a boost of speed? That's exactly the same thing. It's more commonly known as "drafting." You see it all the time in running races as well as automobile races, though with less exaggerated results than in video games.
"Of course we're gonna choose Sonic, because who else are you gonna choose for a race?" funnily enough, me and my sisters swear that Dr Eggman is the fastest character (at least in the 2008 wii game) to the point where we made a whole song about how fast he runs. it's called "Eggman is Running" and its a musical masterpiece
As a runner of 2020, I can say that Dr Eggman is slightly faster in 2020, though I personally choose Vector because his power move at the end gets quite the boost (personal best is 8.314)
Peach’s Super during the equestrian event is actually “Equestrian Vaulting” which is basically gymnastics on horseback. A real thing I have seen real humans do. Utterly baffling to me still
Bizarre as it is, you gotta respect anyone who would be willing to do something that insane on a regular basis. I cant imagine just what amount of training is required to do that without killing yourself in the proccess. If thats not passion i dont know what it is.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games will forever be my favorite of this series. Trolling my cousin in ice hockey by ramming into her teammates so I get the puck will always be comedy cold. Heck, seeing Dream Racing, I can't help but think of Dream Snowboard Cross and that insane Radical Highway cover as you went down the course. The soundtracks of this series really are underrated Also, Cuban Shadow at 10:08 AND he won? Based
This is the game I've put the most speedrun hours into. Last check I was 7th in archery overall. I just couldn't bring myself to try to tie the top. 35 hours of archery was enough 😆
There should be a speedrun of this game where you try to finish all the mini games in hard mode with the worst characters for each one as fast as you can
Eggman: My name is Dr. Eggman, the world's greatest scientist, and soon to be the world's greatest ruler. Now witness the beginning of the greatest empire of all time- Vector: *So anyway, I started boxing* Only people of culture remember the *ORIGINAL* Dream Race from Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Beijing 2008 where it was exactly as it sounds like, a four-lap race around a track with Item Boxes and Dash Panels. Bowser doing gymnastics is…something. Maybe that helps to explain how he’s so mobile in Smash.
@@themoocow7718 just missing a forward tumbling pass. All of the tumbling passes were backwards. Also, obviously the quintuple or sextuple back tuck at the end doesn’t exist but that’s just part of the fun of the game.
One of the understated impressive feats of these videos is that Speezy is doing full commentary while speedrunning. Doing commentary while playing any game is difficult. Mad props.
I imagine it could make a comeback eventually. I think it’s definitely more likely than Nintendo releasing a new F-Zero or Kirby Air Ride. I’ve actually been playing the first Sonic Riders again, I’m enjoying it quite a lot.

What’s freaky is that I was just watching mario and sonic gameplay. No I will not explain why I, an adult, was binging Mario and Sonic Olympic games of 2020, 2016 and 2014/2012.
Wow, what a small world! I had finished binging the 2020 story mode content and now I'm binging the 2010 story mode (Adventure Tours is what it's called, but it has some elements of story, so might as well not make it confusing).
@@duelmasteryuya1205 oh my it is indeed a very small world! I honestly think it’s crazy and cool that two of easyspeezy’s viewers were already on the mario and sonic olympic games marathon before this showing up. I thought once was crazy enough but two people really makes this wilder.
Imagine someone at the Olympics doing super well on their first attempt and then completely failing the next attempt without trying because they're so confident the first one will get gold.
@@TwoBees_or_Not_TwoBeesWhat's funny is that Sonic is canonically 3'3'' in height while Mario is canonically 5'1'', so Mario is actually taller than Sonic
@@tecwynjones6532 true. It would be cool if Sonic Frontiers had transportation of some sort like the extreme gear, but of course that wont happen and sonic can just run anyway.

I always loved how all of the swimming events in the Olympic Games implies that Sonic knows the technique of swimming fast, he just doesn't know how to float so he can swim fast.
Great Vid! Btw, those "splitstreams" are actually just you drafting behind people. It gives you extra stamina because when you run you have to break the drag in order to run faster, and the faster you run the harder it is to break the next drag.
Seeing sonic here kinda makes me want to see you speedrunning those sonic airboard games. I remember those being pretty fun and challenging, and the soundtrack was kind of awesome
I want to see him actually win a world record. I know that's not something he can just do, but the fact that when he first said he could get world record that made it obv no one did the run before is a little annoying.
Eazy talking about his fencing strats: 'but basically what we want to do is stay out of his range and then stab him as much as possible' Me, a fencer: wow that's BASICALLY what you do with epee, funny how nature do that 😂
