Super Metroid by oatsngoats, zoast and Overfiendvip in  

21:32 "Bomb Chorizo" Ah yes, the ancient Chorizo race. We have a type of sausage named after them.

Zoast's face at 28:41. "oh god he died, OH GOD THEY BOTH DIED"

oats and overfiend both got an amazing time on this one! only 12:04

Phantoon has taken out many a runner. No shame in dying. Zoast played it the safer of the 3 but was still 1 shot away from dying himself. Great speed run with no real controversy from the room or couch. Zoast is a god at this game.

AGDQ 2018: Super Metroid Phantoon% :)

45:52 - Best donation ever.

They should have restarted, they were only 10 minutes in so they could at least battle it out for the second place. If Zoast died too would they just quit the whole run?

28:44 The exact moment Zoast realized that the entire run was on his back. Beautiful

GDQ staff were probably so happy when Zoast made the game save before MB. Heads up by him knowing how massive that K/S donation incentive is.

Really a shame how this one unfolded considering how talented the runners are. Still the best marathon race game ever, though!

zoast the most experienced runner shows why he is so good.

That Phantoon donation was funny , but losing two runners is just brutal.

As always, it was fun to watch Zoast run this game. In retrospect, the race would have been better if his opponents had not been Keanu Reeves and Jay from "Jay and Silent Bob."

I love how I forget about channels like these and rediscover them after a bunch of fresh videos are uploaded.

45:50 best part, especially the elephant ghosts part

"I like the music 'cause it's red." This has been some of the best commentary I've ever seen on a run.

Here's something; what would have happened if Zoast died to Phantoon as well? Reset?

Oats is hilarious, got to watch his channel and stream.

Didn't mind the commentary, I actually loved it and had a good time!

The donation from Phantoon was amazing.

I love how Zoast lowkey got dunked on, only to be the longest survivor

I personally like red music myself, especially on a Phantoon% run.

This was an amazing run! All the runners are extremely skilled and did a great job, even thought a few of them got bad luck on Phantoon! Zoast's run was awesone! And the bossfights were really intense! Ridley and Mother Brain got me so nervous it felt like i was playing it! xD Also, that was some of the best commentary i've seen in a run!! Really fun to watch! xD

Boring people: "The old GDQs were better! They were more laid back and everyone had fun!" Also boring people: "I don't like this run because they were having too much fun instead of giving straight-laced serious commentary for this, the twelfth time we're seeing Super Metroid at a GDQ."

The reactions at 1:01:36 to that hit still get me

I always struggle with deciding which screen to watch in races. But this time it was easy.

Loves Pcull's commentary. His humor is very dry and dead pan and totally see how that's not everyone's cup of tea. After seeing so many Metroid races it was refreshing watching a race with levity and humor thrown in.

Man, two runners done in at nearly the same time by Botwoon.... RIP

45:52 dis guy, i like dis guy

When I look at Mother Brain, all I see is a ginger afro.

This commentary crew was epic! Made me laugh no matter how hard I tried to cry for the sake of the two dead runs! Great work!

Ridley, more like Ripley? *I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS*

Samus just stares at the door leading to the animals "I'm not going to kill you, but I don't have to save you!"

If there wasn't enough of a reason to like Zoast, watch this run.

I love the reactions by the runners and the couch during the intense mother brain fight at 1:01:37. Those onion rings sure were terrifying but zoasty saved the day once again...

These guys got farther in this game in 10 minutes than I did in 4 hours

Maybe would have liked to see Oats and Overfiend go one on one from a backup safety save to make it a bit more competitive. But still much better than last year

I just finished the game a week ago and i amazed with this speedrun and i never knew 24:16 theres a button to run WHAT!!!??

I noticed no problem with the couch commentary. I did notice a problem where way too many donations seemed to end with "save the animals." And they read mine! So happy.

Those two guys on the couch are hilarious...........................................................................................

I waited all year for this run and I was so upset when they died to Phantoon, thank god for the great SM runner of all time

"I'm not evil enough." Phantoon's got you covered on that one.

Just my two cents, I really wish oatngoats and Overfiendvip started again after they died since it was at the same time, to see a race for 2nd. In regards to the commentary, I don't have a problem with making it more light-hearted and funny, it doesn't have to be super serious all the time. The idea was fine, the execution was not great though. It kind of felt like everyone in the room was laughing at a joke that you aren't privy to for an hour straight (it's bad enough when it lasts for five seconds). In fact, that's one thing I've been kind of weary of with GDQ as of late. They seemed to be a much more open community, but it seems to be more exclusionary now. It's like, if you aren't a hardcore gamer with $1,000 to donate, you aren't worthy of being a part of the event. I know Super Metroid inside and out and don't mind a change in the flavor since I've seen plenty of speedruns of it, I just felt like I was an outsider for most of the run. I'll still watch the GDQ events and make my donations as usual, though.

45:52 BWAHAHA!

Died with the 75% joke. 😂

Couch was great, I dunno what you're all on about...

Always love to watch Zoast run Super Metroid. An absolute master

It's just godlike commentary xD

THE ANIMALS W I L L *D I E*

Man I love Patty doing commentary :)

They should ban Phantoon from all future speedruns.

28:20 And race ruined....

Super metroid randomizer next hopefully

This is the greatest freaking commentary ever.

Still such a crazy suspenseful and skillful run, even if it isn't a race anymore

The introduction of Zoast was a bit delicious considering what happened soon afterward.

every game where patty was on the couch had the best commentary ever.

Im so glad this run was funny and full of heart compared to the last time,

Best donation is at 54:50 ITS SO FUNNY

I need more Patty at GDQ

So many laughs and a new record!

I always make a point to check out when Zoast is running. He ran the first gdq speedrun I ever watched, which really got me into gdqs in general. I think it was Super Metroid back at SGDQ 2013. If you're out there Zoast, I love ya! (Beard looks nice btw)

I am surprised Zoast finished. Phanny first then for Zoast just about every boss after he just got straight up screwed. The MB fight alone was complete bullshit. It says a lot for his skill.

Yo, that run button changed my life.

This race was something to behold when i saw it live.

I hope to see more 100% runs of Super Metroid in future GDQ's, I believe them to be far more entertaining.

Can we please bring back informed commentary in future GDQs? I don't mind in principle having someone like Patty to add some levity, but we need to counterbalance that with someone who will explain what's going on.

As a heads up, while I know the commentary wasn't in the style that some of you would have liked, this is how the runners and the SM community members at the event wanted it this time. The game has been showcased so many times, and almost always in a super serious style. If it's not for you, that's cool, just know it's what was desired and a lot of other people seemed to enjoy it :) Also I "tried" to hit up on as much of the relevant information of low% ice as possible, going over a bunch of singular room strategies is boring (at least that was the general consensus). Oh yeah, and #TasteTheRainbow.

I wish this was still the Finale. After watching it I'm always like....Whelp....I'm done. Its hard to be excited after so much build up. You literally remove an entire memebase from the commentary.

I call phantoon octophant since it looks like an octopus and sounds like an elephant.

When Zoast gets hit like right off the bat in the Mother Brain fight, he has a smile like, "I bet everyone's butthole just puckered".

Loved it; hilarious couch! xD No, not the people on the couch. Okay, they were kind of funny too, I guess.

dayum ive got to say that was a fcking intense motherbrain fight just look at everybody all of them were like :O omggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

This is why Zoast is the king of super metroid. The mad lad has been running it for like 15 years.

24:10 I feel so bad for overfiend, you see his face drop after he grabs the charge beam cause he knew he lost his lead right there

So who is Patty lol

I didn't want it to be a race anyway they never do solo running of the best games so I'm happy.

1:08:57 "My Gahhhhhhhhhhsh"

as much as the ridley fight in this version is long, when zoast is doing all the jumping around and quick turn shooting ridley in the back of the head and such, it makes it look like it's a real fight, like somethign you'd imagine samus would do. bouncing off walls snipe shots, etc... epic fight!

The only reason I say kill the animals is because I watch Game Theory

Even the Super Metroid race of SGDQ 2016 had only 1 out of 4 players to survive.... Guess SGDQ and Super Metroid races don't mix well.

the guy on the left, during the interview, seems so nervous being on camera, but good for him

Although I love this category, there should be a 100% race of Super Metroid in the marathon just so we have a real race where the runners would all stay alive but great show anyway. This category requires awesome skills.

Kind of disappointing that the race ended so early. I enjoy it when a race is close.

34:01 he's so sassy

The commentary about bowling cracked me up so bad...

I don't hear an elephant...but I do hear Titanosaurus!!!

Are they forced to use a super nintendo controller for this run?

and proceeds to almost bend the poster with the giant cross stitch

Damn, Phantoom is becoming quite the menace to these races.

Am I the only one that thinks that it was okay? Like, two of three players got killed in beginning, that what happens in super important speed runs. Things happen; at least one of them cleared it. I mean, same thing happened in 2015 but people still liked it x3 Would prefer saving animals though x3

1:01:36 "okay so I have 399 energy" *three onion rings hit* "339 energy"

51:30

neither oats or zoast is the best player, its oatsandzoats.

Zoast Single Handedly saved SGDQ 2017

Shame the race was cut short still a great run though.

I won't say I HATED the commentary, but I sure didn't enjoy it lol. Great run, but wished for better (read: more informed) commentary.

"Metroid can't crawl."

This commentary is the worst I've seen in any speedrun ever. I was looking forward to this race, but this commentary made me stop watching after Phantoon, I just couldn't stand it.
