Super Mario Bros 3 All Forts Race of MitchFlowerPower v GrandPOOBear in  

Kaysler did you read the title

David Bob apparently not well...

If this is such a """"hot"""" category, where is the """"hot"""" pockets?

you forgot when poo GrandPOOBear crashes MitchFlowerPower console for the first time and then the second time

I was going to reply, but this says it all!

LMAO

Jernej Fric I just love how it’s become a joke now, “poo uses super kick!”

Exactly. Weird how a faulty console can be behind one of the most memorable GDQ races ever. And I'm sure poo generally felt bad but he shouldn't have. He made GDQ history.

@@honestinsincerity2270 man i felt so sorry for him . That habit to stomp or do smth like that . You can't surpress such behavior so easily . That was such an awkward moment . He felt so bad about it but it was still entertaining . Kinda hard to watch but rly enjoyable on the other hand . So weird 😄

2 years later I was honestly looking forward to Mitch beating Bowser with the hammer suit and forgot about the second stomp.

Some of my favorite races from GDQ are the goofy ones. Like the Sonic 1 run where the runner keeps resetting the console and the mirrors edge "glitchless" run lol. And of course this run now. I think part of what makes GDQ so enjoyable (at least to me) is that speed running is usually really competitive and the runners are always going for a PB if not a WR. Whereas at GDQ they're there just to have fun with the community and show off some cool strats.

Or half year, next is AGDQ 2019

Unfortunately, I heard Grandpoobear's not going to be at AGDQ next year; he's expecting a child.

when are you supposed to make a baby? in your 40s?

he's speedrunning bebe making

Poo used earthquake! It's super effective! NES fainted. (I guess the NES is electric type~)

umbaupause Lol

I love how Poo just went “Nooo!” And immediately after Mitch goes “Nooooooooo!”

Didn't poo unplug the other console

Wtf is going on on 1:02:50?

56:58 Noo Aww NOO OHH

@@MarcosVAlves87 wrong warp

devmas I've heard something happened but I don't remember what...

lmao luckily you're the first comment I saw when I scrolled down

devmas so I shouldn't have read this comment either?

smoothSnake23 *Especially* not this comment.

That was the only comment i read. Thenk you for the heads up.

I'll go with "what two guys" !

"what a bunch of troopers!"

Lemphek they sure STORMED through that game ! ... c- cause storm troopers, s- see what I did there ?... hahah

I need a shower now

"These guys!"

Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! They just need to keep the NES away from Poo's legs haha.

@Matt Snyder What legs?

You're right, Poo Bear has metal stumps like Star Fox that's what caused the shock wave that froze Mitch's console.

Crippling Anxiety Same here bud. But we'll all see each other in 6 months at agdq 2019.

Ollie Zoop yes by placing them on a table

The first one was Poo, it really doesn't take a lot to screw with these old cart based systems. Even back in the late 90s this would happen to my snes and n64 when me and my siblings got hyped up. The 2nd and 3rd ones were probably a symptom of a cart that was just loose enough to cause an issue or just an old console, which to be fair the nes is 30+ years old. Unfortunate that it happened but a good race none the less.

Ultimately it's probably the nature of live events with tight schedules and running on 30 year old hardware. I believe it was briefly mentioned in the post run interview that mitch's nes was having issues before the run, but I guess they either decided it was good enough to use or couldn't swap it out due to lack of time or spares. GDQ has a habit of not being the most well managed event when it comes to proper setup though, which I'm sure helps contribute to issues like this.

The game crashed when poo stood up, not when he stomped, I want to say it was a random crash at an inopportune time

I couldn't figure out why poo was so upset. I didn't realize that it was his stomping/standing that causes the crash, now it all makes sense. Props to Mitch for being such a good sport, and keeping it lighthearted

canebro1 I think the comment is referring to the physical location of the consoles, not a question of why they use them.

exactly, their placement. This is not the first time that someone by accident causes a crash during a race of all things

They should start using NES classic instead of the old NES.

2 reasons: 1) Controller cords only stretch so far, and I don't know if extenders introduce lag. 2) GDQ isn't the greatest with setups.

Buy a coffee table from Ikea.... Problem solved, no more resets from people stamping feet.

AGDQ is simply awesome 💜

It was poo stomping that caused it both times, hence all the apology

Poo barely moved for the second crash. If the console can't handle that then the console shouldn't be used at a big event like this. Obviously Poo's console didn't have the same issue. Perhaps if the consoles were placed on a slightly bump resistant surface, although I can't think of anything more suitable than a simple solid table without getting excessively fancy (like shock absorbers).

the stomping caused the first one. The second one was the control throw thow im not sure how it caused it tho the game coulda still been loose from the crash 1. the problem is the controller length is notoriously short so they cant put the consoles in a safer location

OriginalPiMan well said and completely true. Even though this made for a great event, it should not have happened.
