[@crashcoptr]

Frif you went crazy in this showcase

[@LuniFoxo]

I almost expected someone in the crowd to shout "Play it on medium!" before TTFAF like in 2020. Incredible showcase, congrats to Frif

[@magicianstuff]

Frif jumpscare

[@jonathanslosser814]

I was in the audience, this was an absolute magical time. Thank you for bringing your skills to the stage again!

[@bradleydickson3571]

But desh🎉w😂e🎉

[@novafroger]

did you hear the violent tapping?

[@xPLDxPunisher]

Crazy seeing this game on the stage. I was pretty active in the custom scene like 14-15 years ago when we were still playing hacked and burned copies of Guitar Hero 2 on PS2. It's amazing that not only has the community remained, but grown to this level. It's even crazier that people are getting better and better all the time. HOW MANY WAYS CAN YOU POSSIBLY HIT 5 BUTTONS LINED UP IN A ROW?! I'm glad there's people keeping guitar hero alive. GH3 was IMO, one of the greatest games of all time and Clone Hero really took the baton and ran to the moon. Amazing program, amazing community. Godspeed, Vaseline.

[@delicateflame3289]

So happy that you guys brought him back for a second showcase. Love watching guitar hero. Been fans of these guys most of my life so seeing them on the big stage is just awesome

[@TylerGH]

great showcase by frif, thank you gdq for letting them attend this year!

[@TonyTheTGR]

As someone who, out of a team of a whole twenty or so somethings that started the DDR simulation scene in 1999 - ripping old soundtracks and synchronizing arrows to them and encouraging the Special K to bring dance games from overseas to the states - to see what the music game scene has become today is awe-inspring and leaves me so humbled! I had NO IDEA it would become the magnficent kind of community it's become today.

[@jdolandev]

Happy to see the old heads representing the couch. Hope you guys are all doing well

[@swindlehappy9309]

Calling Acai an old head is crazy

[@jdolandev]

@@swindlehappy9309 I mean, he and I were playing back in 2008-9, that's pretty old at this point

[@retrocultmods]

Was awesome to watch; love seeing the community represented in these events, especially by such talented creators and players!

[@rachelburton7137]

This was MIND-BLOWING. Would love to see more Frif showcases in future GDQs!

[@Hotsaucebauce3943]

Real all star cast for this

[@thurmanite77]

So amazing to see Through the Fire and Flames done masterfully. Love it.

[@sasukuto]

I'm so glad the hand cam was included in this showcase because god does it really make teh whole thing much more fun. Guy looks like what a cartoon character does when they play insane guitar in their shows, but like dude was doing it in real life! His hands moved faster that my brain could comprehend!

[@Logan-tz1ry]

I saw the video on Frif's channel, and thus was unprepared for the start. With that in mind: still a very pog run GDQ. We should really make an all rhythm games event sometime

[@imbabaganoosh]

Absolutely sick to watch! Love seeing the game and community grow so much and become mainstream again. Thank you Frif, Zack, GuitarHeroRox and Acai for helping keep this alive and going!

[@Gingy_Music]

this was such an awesome showcase, thanks to both frif and gdq for an awesome time!

[@DaManGH]

I’ve got my money on the right synth

[@plantpun]

Frif killed this showcase! Also great commentary from zackuloid and the rest of the couch~

[@Sidewinder_Circa]

Amazing Showcase, thrilled to see Acai on the couch. Killed it, Frif!

[@exworthy2]

thank you for doing this! -!,,! great dang job Frif

[@beovulf7241]

Amazing stuffs!

[@Trash_Kann]

These are the kind of songs that a madman would say "imma warm up" Really cool showcase

[@ChronosSk]

Your explaining the ways some of this is straightforward, but all I'm seeing is that there aren't enough frames in this broadcast to display the true skill going on.

[@grayveebean]

click clacks make brain go brrrr but for real, naming a speed tech "teleporting" is so unfairly funny lol

[@Magic_beans_]

Frif casually chatting while busting out a 1,000-note combo.

[@TheRealFLDB]

I love how you hit play and all you hear is FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIF

[@OliyTC]

Did not expect the Frif jumpscare in the first second :P

[@LionHeartGames1]

The guy is a monster, crushed it!

[@SudonimYT]

All those crazy community songs are super awesome, but nothing will beat the magic of TtFaF.

[@wolvie90]

I once managed the intro to TTFAF on expert on GH3. Finishing the song seemed absolutely impossible and this is just another level.

[@juanfrancisco2156]

I dont know how Clone Hero speedrun works but im SO ON IT AND HYPE FOR IT LOL.

[@olliefischer]

i mean it's a showcase not a speedrun...afaik clone hero speedrunning doesn't really work in the sort of time frame that GDQ demands

[@TonyTheTGR]

Music games and fighting games as a whole are very difficult to classify into a "speedrun" kind of setting. It honestly took years of actual speedrunning games that were more friendly to the format before a "showcase" was welcomed; and it's less about speedrunning and more about the performance aspect of the games, and to give some variety to the content as GDQ has grown over the years. I mean, one could technically try speedrunning "Story Modes" or "Arcade Modes" of fighting games, but not to much dramatic effect. The best candidates imo would be Soul Calibur's modes like Edge Master Mode or Chronicles of the Sword (which is NOT a fast game, but there's 4-hour JRPG runs now, so...), Street Fighter Alpha 3's World Tour Mode, etc. But fighting games have made their *own* scene as competitive circuits - which hasn't relied on GDQ for its' drama. I'd love to see some, though!

[@Partyboi_XT]

It was labeled as a showcase, not a speedrun

[@xracecar]

its moreso a showcase rather than speedrunning it

[@taggerung_]

Its a showcase, not a speedrun

[@eliteasian1234]

So grateful for 38:59

[@Agnes.Nutter]

Too bad about the bonus incentive :c Awesome showcase Frif, really entertaining!

[@allenmendoza5956]

MY BOY ACAIII

[@vikingsrule33]

Yay

[@axdonat]

i love so much that they put people's pronouns next to their name, esp bc there's so many different people throughout the pannels it's really cool!! so happy for GDQ being such a sweet inclusive community!

[@ro-qw6nj]
