Legends say Eddie won a map rando race while commentating this run.

oats was locked tf in, a 42 with a bunch of safety's + animals is sick

Did Zeni honestly forget the animals or was the loop around the ship runback a troll for the audience? Because if it was a troll, it was a 10/10 troll; Oats being like "Yo what you doin Chief?" was great.

42 with race strats and the animals… you’re a beast, Oats.

Can't wait for the Aniv vs Tigleton 14% Speed race.

Can we appreciate the fact Oats did a 3 JUMP stashio baby skip like it was nothing? In a 4 way race during a marathon? Even though every other runner played it much safer yet struggled with it. And this is a hunch but I'd say Oats risked it because he knew that if he failed the trick the race would pick right back up as the other runners would surely get closer and it would make for a better show to the audience. In any case, truly he is the Goat.

Oats you shouldn’t have reminded Shiny that he needed to save the animals, then he would have been banned from GDQ forever and Zoast could have taken his place. 🤬

Awesome race all of you, GG!

Interesting that everyone finished the race relative to their positions on the Any% leaderboard. Just goes to show that there is a real, tangible difference in skill required to shave of that minute / minute and a half of time.

The commentators didn't explain this, so if anyone hasn't seen this category before and was wondering why they bothered grabbing the Varia suit after the Kraid fight when they already had the Gravity suit: It's because it halves the damage you take. Without it, they would actually die to the motherbrain beam at the end of phase 2 unless they collected several more energy tanks, which would obviously be slower than grabbing the Varia suit.

Audience: save the animals!

Easily the best speedrun I've seen at a GDQ in a while. Everybody played super well, awesome to watch, Congrats Oats!

I'm so glad you stuck around to show the animals how to escape! Sometimes they need the extra help!

Oatsngoats has always been my favorite Super Metroid player since watching his unfortunate defeat in SGDQ 2015 and I have been watching his progression and rooted for him every GDQ race he has always done. Watching this race made me so happy to witness his dedication for the game finally paying off. Congrats Oats!

Was on the edge of my seat the whole time watching this live!!! What an amazing run and an amazing performance by all 4 runners. I was sweating buckets for ARC during the Draygon and MB fight, holy crap what a clutch.

Knowing Oats got WR with

Absolutely sick race from everyone, but Oats was completely in the zone. Awesome commentary from Eddie and Hockey. This was a blast.

Oats that was an amazing run man. That practice paid off. Everyone else gave you a run for your money too, one mistake and they would have had you.

I'll predict what goes on oats' mind at

Finally got time to watch this. Incredible race by all the runners. Oats just executing non stop. Donation goals hit. 70,000$ raised by the kill/save animals battle. This GDQ segment was incredible to watch.
