Games Done Quick you played it as Sonic would've fast
thank you i was searching forever for this comment
Thankyou
This specific group of runners is by and far my favorite to see on AGDQ. Same group does Sonic 3 and knuckles I think
They're not super wacky but they have great rapport and funny anecdotes. Also genesis sonic gets so screwy when you break it, the zips and the tileset fuck ups are a joy to watch
Too cool. I found that Oil Ocean physics glitch as a kid. I never used it in this manner, but it's wild to see that it became a famous thing.
I found it too! I wondered if others knew
I still have my cartridge, but I never did manage to beat it legitimately despite getting to Death Egg with 30+ lives many, many times as a kid. Well done, man.
Yeah mate. Back in the day of No Saves. I only managed to finish with all chaos emeralds cause I had my little bro playing as tails. AI tails was just too damn slow on those special stages. Didn't even own the consol or game so could only try round our friends' houses
05:16
wow, i remember doing that accidently as a child and freaking out. i thought i broke the game for a while
Sonic tipping over sprite XD
The feelings.. This is my childhood, the first game I have ever played
I play this at my age of 5,now I am 13
I dig AlecK47's whole look. The long hair, goatee, cargo shorts, crew socks, its all perfect. He looks like he knows everything about every game ever, and can explain it all in exhaustive detail.
So, the game breaks if you go way too fast? How ironic
Forever Zero
This is a speedrun, of course it breaks.

Sonic The Hedgehog: Gotta go fast
Forever Zero
So?
Ike Okereke
...the joke just went right over your head, didn't it?
Forever Zero
r/woosh. But, please explain it to me? I don't get it.
God its really nice to see how sweet these guys are for this speed runner. Probably never got that much support in his life but he's doing amazing shit.
The nut was unloaded
So something my brother and I figured out when we were kids is that the old Atari controllers fit in the same port as the Sega Master System. While Atari controllers only have 1 button and a joystick, using these controllers while playing Sonic 2 pauses AND jumps at the same time! We were beating levels in less than 5 seconds (game time).
"I've been away for a while, but I'm back to kick some butt in Wild Canyon" I died
Eggman is still faster than Sonic. He'd make for a good speedrunner :D
I see that guy on the couch talking is pretty salty 😂
It took me 8 minutes to pass metropolis zone act 1 the first time I played
Took me thirteen minutes when I was a kid.
Honestly, how do you make a character known for going fast even faster? Obviously, this speed run proves it.
"Gotta go fast" he said.
i keep hearing him saying "speed juice"
Me: tlit is impossible to speedrun hill top zone
Mike89: O B S E R V E
Super sonic uploads I see
SuperSonic would tear the game to toilet paper if he did frame-perfect tactics.
Best Sonic game hands down.
Mania is super close though.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles is better though.
That's your opinion and fair enough, it's a really good game. Just I grew up with Sonic 2 so it's got that sentimental edge to it. 3+K came much later for me.
Yeah but if you take out nostalgia bias than you can see that Sonic 2 had tons of moments with awful design (see the last few levels), and was a pretty rushed game. Sonic 3 had much more consistent level design and had less bull moments.
Sonic 2 isn't a bad game but if you look at it objectively Sonic 3 and Knuckles is much better, special stages that didn't have incoming obstacles you couldn't see (I'm looking at you Sonic 2 special stages), and 2 super forms, the most levels, It had the most memorable stages (hydrocity, angel island, flying battery, etc). But I'm guessing your nostalgia is gonna override that and you're probably not gonna change your mind. (fair enough, I understand)
Both are great games.
(I didn't grow up with either games so I don't have that bias)
Fair play, if you're clued up on Sonic 2's development, there was a TON of zones that were meant to be in the final that didn't make it, which is why Metropolis Zone lasts 3 acts.
I feel that if I grew up with 3+K that bias might not really be there but who knows. To me it just shows progress; look at the gap between Sonic 1 and 2, it's huge, even more so with 2 and 3+K.
My fav SoNIc game no doubt
I remember once that i took over the Demo screen as a child and was able to play the game from it. I still dont know how and why that happened. I am not even sure if it was real or a dream but it felt real.
If that ever happened it was probably a nick of the cartridge and then such a random one.
God that selfie break was *stressful*
AGREED
Wow he was right, Chemical Plan Act 1 was literally one frame off of a 0:22.
I must proceed at a very high rate of speed
I'm not alone who made Sonic balance on the container and Tails jump near. XD I also had these glitches in Metropolis. Of course, by accident, back then I didn't even know of speed-running as a thing. So I had to reset.
just watch it at 1.5 or 2x speed on youtube and I am sure it breaks the world record, awesome job!
Sonic set a new record in going fast
Sonic 2 along with 3&K are my all time favorite Mega Drive Sonic games and my personal favorite level in Sonic 2 for my speedrunning is Mystic Cave Act 2
God it took me forever to beat Dr Robotnik as a kid and this guy polishes him off in sub 45 seconds
i didnt know that jumping on enemies to kill them lowers your score gains.
Very nice run! I like it.
Thank god the guy on the couch is mic'd up.
That must be the first selfie break I’ve seen in a speedrun.
Not sure if serious, it's a cliche at this point.
I believe that was 17:44 IGT (though I may be wrong).
Excellent run, man. I had fun watching it.
PS Yeah, I know someone else has probably kept track of the time across the run and posted it, but I can't be arsed to comb through over a hundred comments just to check.
I feel sorry for Tails.
you know what faster than sonic? a speedrunner
Here here
Nah, it's Eggman
Sonic is the fastest game character of his time... Except Eggman can outrun him.
19:30 moments like these always make gdq special imo. Love these.
remember naegleria running this game? i remember
A completely useless glitch I found as a kid in this game is that if Sonic is standing on one of the pillars while Tails delivers the killing blow to the Aquatic Ruins boss, Sonic will remain standing in mid air while the pillar goes down. (Works the other way around too if Tails is standing on the pillar and Sonic delivers the killing blow.)
My favorite thing to do in Sonic 2 is putting the code for Super Sonic and play the full game without doing the hard special stages.
23:45 he was going with the beat lol
I've hardlocked OOZ boss as Super Sonic before. Not fun.
BEST. INTRO. EVER.
Sonic the hedgehog 2 was fantastic
Time for some super sonic speed! also, great job Mike89!
14:38
this guy takes going fast seriously
Even though this is Sonic 2, I feel like singing part of Sonic X...
🎵🎶 Gotta go fast...gotta go fast...gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster...!!!!🎶🎵
Guy on the couch is constantly belittling the run. Example: Runner says "very good, got it in 58!" Guy on couch, "I can do that in 55." Frankly, I hope GDQ bans him from ever being on the mic after this.
This is pretty epic
Beautiful
This is amazing. 😮
If only we had werster commentating
JMUDoc That's cold...😂😂😂😂
migwah 123 No thanks
That's why you don't be an edgy 4chan racist boy
Jake Landis A what now?
What's different from soft lock and hard lock? I'd guess software and hardware?
You had a live audience how do you play like that under the pressure?
Incredible!
You can kill the first boss on death egg before he lands. Only way i could do it as a kid.
That's a world record.
Hold on, is Mike retiring from speedrunning?
Yes.
l-i-a-m when and why?
Jamestuff
The Sonic 3 & Knuckles run in SGDQ 2018 was his last run. Why, I don't know.
Jonah Heisler damn that sucks, im gonna miss his streams
Is there a community in Houston?
It's not a bolt it's a nut! :P
They're still counting time during the score count...? Didn't we used to make jokes about that?
Sonic!
Efferrrw was a great time for you and I wanted y’all to know that I cannot was a way great time with to see you the last night we had fun and uI is was that we were going getting a little car and then I
Keemstar is behind mike
Kiwi speed runs!

sonic cool
In the beginning Sonic and Fox watched Mr. Robotic on his old farm yard. They had enjoyed setting up simple pranks and watching Mr. Robotic become angered at the horse poo they had left on his drive way before speeding away. Mr. Robotic cleaned up the mess, locked his gate and went inside to have dinner with his wife. His kids had already moved out of home. Mr. Robotic spoke about the farm needing some extra hands. Instead of hiring labour, Mr. Robotic created an army of harvesters to make his farm life easier. After a while, Sonic and Fox had ramped up their pranks in an attempt to anger Mr. Robotic. This time they had put a stick of dynamite in the exhaust pipe of his car, ready to detonate when Mr. Robotic tried to start up the car. Mr. Robotic came swaddling down from his farm house, looking forward to going to the shops. He sat down in his car and rumaged his pockets for some keys and he found them. He started the car when it when BOOM. Both his legs were broken from the blast and he had his wife call an ambulance. When he came home he rolled around in his mechanical wheelchair and began building an army that would consume the entire forest and become the world of Sonic the Hedgehog as we know it today.
cool!
gotta go fast
BRING BACK WERSTER
Wish they would but after mike fucked wester gf they don't talk anymore
Coooooooooooooool🔊
Love these speed runs but hate the player commentary
Daven Watts y
Harry Willmore shouldn't say hate, I just don't prefer them
They usually don't have commentary on their own channels but maybe on tutorials.
The first sonic game I’ve played to completion. Not my favorite out of the classic series because knuckles.
16:09
Woah, what the fuck was that?
pro
I appreciate the effort from couch guy trying to explain stuff, but man take a damn break once in awhile. Let us just enjoy the playing for like 5 seconds without "um yeah" and "so what he just did there..."
At least learn to explain things quicker. Too many unnecessary words.
I need someone like a Couch Guy explaining this, especially if I accidentally ever did any of these tactics without realizing it,
Not like most of you want to know that a blind person (Congenital Since Birth) actually plays the older console games (Like This))!
People say sonic games are good. I say they have a speed cap in a game about going fast
This is the nerdiest shit I've ever seen
Blows me away, And I Can't See a Hoover Dam thing Since Day One.
Just listening to this playthrough has me going: "Woe:..."!
Nott even a scientist know what is sub-pixel manipulation! That's lvl 99 of nerdiness
didn't go fast enuf
I don't like games where you have to explain why these feats are feats. Would much rather have a commentary where people are like "Oi, that was fuckin' fast" and then split off on a tangent about polynomials or something, hearing about every frame-perfect jump takes me out of the experience of watching it. I can see he's very good at the game, now give me some personality instead of droning on from the couch.
Like, if you have to break off your explanation of feat A because Feat B happened and you need to quickly describe it before Feat C comes up, you need to chill.
Fair, but very much preference. I like to have a vague idea of what the hell Im watching if I dont get it.
But is it... G L I T C H L E S S ?
is it supposed to be?
Second comment super excited!!
Third comment super excited!!
Fala a minha língua😡🇧🇷🇧🇷
q
two games that should never be in 3d: Sonic and Castlevania
You can tell this dudes have no sex life
really dumb to make a run without getting the chaos emeralds
How? Special stages eat alot of time. Not optimal for times.
Is someone able to explain to me what exactly is the point in speed-running? It all just seems a little sad and pointless.
adamness speed-running raised over $2 million during this marathon. That’s sad and pointless
Is someone able to explain to me what exactly is the point in needlessly hating on harmless activities people enjoy? It all just seems a little sad and pointless.
baf03 Thanks for letting me know. I had no idea that people raised money by doing this as I’ve never bothered to read fully into this.
And the donations that are raised what happens with them, do they go to a charity?
RiseandShine Ah, I see what you did there.
adamness Speedrunning gains traction in the same way that high level play in fighting games gets attention or why sports in general are national past-times: people like to see others who've trained themselves excel in certain activities. It's just fun to watch someone use unconventional strategies and techniques to play through our favorite games at ludicrous speeds :)
