This is one of the mechanically most impressive runs I've ever seen.

[@alanhersch4617]

Dr4gonBlitz is actually goated. it is kind of nuts.

[@cellularautomatFI]

This run was so smooth. I’m always in awe at how skilled speedrunners are and Dr4gonBlitz is one of the best.

[@roguebanshee]

Not just smooth, several of those floor clips are quite finicky and only one or two required multiple attempts. That's amazing in a marathon setting.

[@Tingfyhod]

Yo! Big love for DBDaily... oh wait, his evil twin? lol

[@ThibaultDelattre]

Dr4gon"I'm kinda gaming though"Blitz

[@andrescruz8445]

bro, being capable of doing those frame perfect glitches and explain at the same time is so godam impressive, Dragonblitz is amazing

[@xenosaga8436]

I don't know how anyone finds these convoluted methods of skipping around stuff. Finding the skips seems hard enough if you know they exist. Finding them by accident, then replicating whatever you did to do it again seems impossible.

[@jruler93]

To be fair, the game's been out since 1997. 27 years is a lot of time for millions of people to find glitches in a game.

[@bananaslamma35]

Some glitch hunters crack open the game and look at the code. Others have a general deep knowledge of what usually works out and how certain fundamental aspects of game design work.
And then there's the truly dedicated guys who literally jump and bash their heads into every wall they can find in order to find the spots in the wall where the collision is fucked up enough that they can skip something.

😎

[@mcdiaz30519]

Read the code.

[@thesterndragoon9159]

Absolutely AMAZING run of one of my favorite games. Thanks Dr4gonBlitz and GDQ!

[@djpunkIIDX]

[@matthewvonhofen]

I watch dragonblitzdaily daily, and yesterday I watched this live and today I will watch dragonblliz daily again.

[@xemplari-kdkt]

Clean run and great commentary, ggs!

[@vinivaskinho]

That was insane. Congrats on the run, DB!

[@chuck_jotsugaming6755]

My favorite story is I got this game from a friend in 2000. He didn’t like it, so he gave it to me. I loved it. I was telling him one day all the cool stuff I like and then I told him I got the inverted castle, and his reaction was “What inverted castle?” Best free game I ever got.

[@r4tbu564]

Congrats DB! Doing the tricks while walking the audience through is one heck of a task and you made it look easy.

[@mrgoober6320]

Yo, Dr. Foregone Blitz? I love that guy.

[@futhum]

The great Dr. 4 Agon Blitz!

[@RadicalAirways]

Nice job, DB! Good to see you and SOTN at GDQ!

[@weswarhammer9713]

An amazing showcase of extremely difficult glitches performed by a true legend!!

[@raineiramparo2543]

It is really amazing watching DB speedrun while doing commentary. Very informative and entertaining. WP DB

[@davewebster5120]

Razor sharp. This guy plays this game constantly, he has worked his ass off to be thing good and it shows.

[@Wecoc1]

Amazing run! DB is the GOAT of this game.

[@taa347]

Dr4gon is one of the only streamers who I feel comfortable enough with to watch stream casually which sounds stupid, but I'm stupid.
Either way it's really nice to see him here. Great run!

[@buracoretro]

O jeito que o Dragon joga e ainda explica é surreal, o bagulho tá no sangue do cara...GOAT

[@DragonSamurai182]

34:50 - Who knew X-Com math would be applicable in a SotN run?

[@Grimm_ytb]

Wow, congratz Dr4gonBlitz for the amazing run, it was really nice to watch

[@roberthiltz2741]

Wish it would count for me to watch this one thousand times and like it each time! You are awesome DB, GG !

[@llikeafoxx]

What a cool run! Thank you for featuring it, SGDQ!

[@richardericlope3341]

Perfect speedrun as always. Loved the commentary DB.

[@Bruno-kk3yk]

This is what we need. Thanks GDQ

[@ghosttrick2374]

[@knuthansen8524]

[@spiderchopproductions8172]

[@maroonsr20]

dr4gonblitz FTW!!!!

[@KyloNeko]

lets gooo dragon blitz!

[@keatsYoyo]

Lets go db!🎉

[@greenhowie]

Always good to see a glitchy SOTN run, good commentary as well.
Shot in the dark but if anyone knows how to start with 90 health let me know - did it once as a kid and have no idea how it happened. Thought it was collecting 99 hearts but maybe there's a time factor or it's a PAL version difference.

[@PNW_Marxist]

DB at GDQ, hyyyyyyype!

[@3dhYT]

Impressive skills.
SOTN is my favorite game.

[@Blastimal]

nice

[@haactgaming9687]

Nice! 3 things I like. GDQ, SOTN and DB content!

[@jelyse14]

Did he ever do that "what is a man?" hank hill impression?

[@noisepolice]

"this is all 100% real"

[@benshihadeh8561]

Dude you still run SOTN? I remember watching your streams many moons ago, Dr4gonblitz.
