replying to bump towards the top

Cactus Fantastico 😊 Thank you!

when they switched from "no glitches" to "no major glitches" (nmg) 38:25 (lower left corner) sad one but okay ...

1:37:17? Samaria was that deep in the seed? By the way, you're missing one: The LTTP National Anthem/SwagDuck/"THE GOOSE IS LOOSE!"

Roy Goodhand That was 31:40 into the video on Andy’s screen. I did it that way since only Andy had sound on his end.

Techhunter Talon They should think of a better name then lol

"No Glitches necessary" ...

Yes, it didn't "change category mid-game", the rules were always meant to be "glitchless seed, NMG players" as is usual for ALTTP Randomizer runs and races.

"No Glitches Logic" means simply no glitches are required to win. The name is good and succinct.

Was confused when they mentioned the fake flippers with that on screen...

If there is no way to tell who is in the lead where is the tension? The competition

Mart Mine Oh, there is :) And it can shift extremly fast!

Well they have to have mastery over the game itself, know small glitches to try and get ahead...and do it swordless.

I love how after doing entirely different things for most of the run they both converged in PoD and were suddenly only half a room apart.

There was no way to tell who was in the lead? Huh? What do you mean? Andy was running, that basically sealed the results from frame 0. Not an Andy fanboy I genuinely want him to lose a race ever but he seems incapable of losing.

Oh man. Is that Order of the Stick?!

Dragon Ball GT was alright

That moment was actually quite awesome.

Amazing moment, thank you for pointing it out

But.... *That's just a theory a GAME THEORY thanks for watching.*

Should check them out. Randomizers have been gaining popularity recently and it's kinda cool. Just note that I think the one for A Link to the Past is one of the better optimized Randomizers as the logic tries its very best to not generate an impossible seed.

The Dragon Lord Really? One guy was really being a little too much of smartass. Imo tho

Shady B That was the funniest one

The one with the deeper voice seemed to get a little upset when Andy got the hammer and did his hovers lol

daringtons Are you serious? xD He obviously does that on purpose, notice that everything he said made the public laugh out loud (and myself too)

daringtons Obviously you don't share the sense of humour

It even makes sense with it struggling to hover over because of how small their wings are. XD That said, a very impressive display by Andy with those hovers.

'It's not cheating, I just hate that he can do that.' classic Patty

Muggles cant fly.

Wat did that have nything to do with the run? I play chess too.. but even I dont give a shit when this is a video for speedrunning alttp...

Even better, after the first hover, Andy catches him looking and pops the Cheshire Cat grin, as if to say, "Yes, I am up to my usual shenanigans. You know exactly where, too. You know what I do."

I mean, Andy has to slide his fingernails across the A-button, which would be quite easy to notice even in your peripheral vision. So, yeah, Chris definitely noticed that.

Whenever Pat's on the couch its gonna be a good run

@Khaeldranis you can't really give an ETA for that type of thing and would need to be able to have a note pad

Just watch other GDQ runs of his with Patty in the background. He arguably finds it funnier than most. Andy is very ticklish it seems, :P

Thanks. :D

Thank you so much for telling me about this. :D

he stabbed him in the parking lot actually

FOREVER!

lol

NO

You bet right

No, it was me

big if true

Is that even possible?

Hope you had fun

The Ice Rod is in the Tower of Hera. I think the trouble you're having is that you don't need the three Pendants to enter the Tower of Hera, you can enter with just the seven Dark World dungeon crystals.

This is the water, and this is the well.

Watch Andy's Alttp run from last year's GDQ. Him, Patty, and Ribkilla reading donations was the funniest damn thing i've seen in years of watching GDQ.

I might miss one or two. SGDQ 2014: Goosebumps Attack of the mutant - as runner SGDQ 2015: Maldita Castilla race - as runner SGDQ 2015: Link to the Past - as couch AGDQ 2016: Link to the Past race - as couch SGDQ 2016: Curse of Issyos race - as runner SGDQ 2016: Aladdin race - as runner SGDQ 2016: Jak and Daxter - as couch SGDQ 2016: Mario Maker Relay - as runner AGDQ 2017: Rocket Robot on Wheels - as couch SGDQ 2017: Link to the Past - as couch SGDQ 2017: Super Metroid Race - as couch

Amazed that no one linked you to what is inarguably the best run that Patty has commentated (and also one of the best runs at any GDQ event, period). Check out Bonesaw's run of Jak and Daxter, by far the hardest I've laughed from any speedrun

His return to GDQ during Xelna’s 100% run is so goddamn great. Andy is also on that couch.

WHOOOO mine did too!

Well its gdq everyone is drunk all week

"Glitchless" is in reference to the randomizer's item placement logic algorithm. In No Glitches logic, items are all placed such that they can be accessed using bog standard vanilla mechanics. Bomb jumping, hovering, all that fancy tech is not guaranteed to not be required - even dark room navigation is excluded. Hardly anyone actually plays truly glitchless - even casuals like me do the block pushing glitches. There are other logic modes that incorporate increasingly complex glitch magic that result in increasingly absurd amounts of bullshit being required to get items in the planned progression order. No Major Glitches is a ruleset used in speedrunning and randomizer races that bans certain kinds of insane glitch-fu that's technically possible within the game, but goes WAY outside of what is intended. I think the rule of thumb is basically regarding teleportation glitches and such, where you're skipping entire rooms or dungeons, which is why hovering doesn't count - you're still actually going through the rooms. This is the ruleset that's actually binding on a runner qualifying for the speedrun or race in that category - there's other categories with less restrictive rules, of course. Of course, for a charity event like this, it'd be entirely reasonable for players of different skill levels to make a gentleman's agreement to not do specific glitches that the less skilled player can't perform, in order to make a more balanced and fair run, which is what the couch was commenting about regarding Andy's use of the hover glitch. Of course, with that particular couch, it's also entirely reasonable to assume that the guys on the couch were messing around, because....it's AGDQ, of course they're going to mess around.

Timo G. Any patty is the best patty

Basically, as shown when they use the book on the pedestal, the randomiser actually tells you what you get from the Master Sword pedestal, when you get the 3 pendants. From what I can gather, a pedestal run is when a key/important/useful item is locked in the pedestal, meaning the players have to complete the pendant dungeons, in addition to the crystal dungeons.

If a required item was kept there, they would have had to complete 3 more dungeons to get it.

Yeah, pedestal is a troll on some seeds. If you check all the other places in the game you can think of and can’t find the cane of somaria to get into Turtle Rock... then you have to check pedestal and see if it’s there. Some seeds make you work hard for victory. Hovering through TR is likely impossible. I watched Andy try it last week on an Inverted run, and he was not able to get across to Trinex with hovering.

They grow up so fast
