dtndtndtndtn thank yuh

[@Sword0fSeals]

I am regretful that the run was incredibly shaky throughout, due to the obscene amount of deaths... However, I hope anyone who caught this live/watched the VOD enjoyed the run! Perhaps at another event I'll be able to run again and avenge the deaths :) May Crash live on forever!

[@StrayJello]

Saw this video in my recommended feed and immediately clicked on it because I remember you from old Mario Kart videos. Always loved watching you years ago and it's great to see you again now. Hope everything is going well! Greetings from Canada :)

[@vairrin]

It's fine dude. I've known you since you played Mario Kart Wii bro, love your stuff.

[@videogamestop1048]

Sword0fSeals sword, can you please please run mkwii at the next gdq??????? That would be incredible :O!

[@ParadigmZwei]

The most important part of a run like that is composure, and that was maintained in spades so no worries from me at all, :) Now all we need is Crash 3 100% at SGDQ this year and we'll have the full trilogy!

[@kennethbgoodin]

It's understandable given you were commenting at the same time. Awesome run

[@didjano]

this guy was a great runner and commentator

[@Sly94]

Amazing runner with great commentary, felt like the couch could have talked more but still a great run

[@FlintlockYT]

This was a pretty good run. More deaths than the runner would have wanted, no question, but he was very informative throughout, and there were a lot of memorable moments (bonus round in the dark, for example). The couch crew could have talked a bit more, especially at the beginning. Obviously a vast improvement on the last time Crash 2 featured at a GDQ event.

[@ToyotaKudoFan]

And best of all, FINALLY a 100% run of this game.

[@mylifeisameme8656]

Yes! The 100% is great

[@RenegadeJade]

[Obligatory reference to the past Crash Bandicoot 2 disaster run]

[@ak479t]

out of all the Speedruns, this one of my favorites. It brings more validity. Ive seen so many of these speedruns from individual games and some of these guys have muscle memory i have never seen before. Its so great to see a guy that is great at what he does, but he never got extremely upset about dying or not being perfect. Power to you swordofseals. Ive learned alot from you today! 333

[@TheWildArcanine7217]

For people that are wondering about this: Yes, this is the same SwordofSeals from the Mario Kart Wii days

[@videogamestop1048]

TheWildJolteon if you're a fan of his then you should know, even if you've only watched a couple of his mk8 videos :P

[@TheWildArcanine7217]

Oh, I know who he is from watching Troy lol

[@JSK01]

TheWildJolteon we all know that!

[@johnrichardson8606]

meh

[@thatkidyoshi]

I just watched all this, and wow! This was one of my favorites and I'm amazed. Great job, and I never even knew there was SECRET LEVELS!

[@ColdAsAnivia]

I actually missed this speedrun. I'm very thankful for putting this on KZbin.

[@CooperJW13]

Well done Tom/Sword0fSeals, very proud of you!!!

[@pabloinz382]

"There is a plot in this game. Can you believe it?" Loved the commentary

[@ZeroSectionStyle]

I've got my first week off university in almost a year, and this is simply the best way to spend it. Watching AGDQ with a bowl of chicken noodlesoop! Thanks for being such awesome poeple :)

[@Cynthesia]

I'm really happy that sword made it this year, been watching him for 3 years now and it's nice to finally see him at a GDQ

[@idriz9713]

Amazing job in explaining the mechanics of the run as well as everything that goes into this run, made it a treat to watch :) Love you hun ;)

[@dingousoop64]

This run was one of my highlights of this AGDQ. Way to break one of my favorite games from my childhood

[@badgermcwaffles4834]

i dont think i would have enjoyed this so much if it wasnt for the fact it was 100% so thanks for that!

[@tryler449]

Swordofseals did such a great job commentating. One of the best runs from ACDQ2017 for sure!

[@Zevss12]

1:09:25 Best moment

[@rpeloquin1215]

Very nice run to watch , can't wait for the third ! you guys are awesome. . keep up the good work !!

[@SJtheMFZB]

59:02 Okay, that was a brilliant setup all the way through. I actually laughed at a runner's joke rather than the game. That's rare.

[@aprilcox871]

This is my most watched speedrun, so impressive and entertaining.

[@saekho]

This game was so hard as a kid!! Ive tried to play again recently and its still hard. You make it look so easy, great job and great run!!

[@danv_77]

Toma mi pinche like buen hombre, awesome run from my favorite game in the childhood

[@BigKlingy]

Getting both the secret entrance skip and death route skip on Road to Ruin first try was pretty amazing. I've seen former world record runs that died multiple times to those skips, so getting them both first try in a live marathon really deserves applause.

[@ButtonMasherReal]

Crash 2? Better go get the suicide jokes.

[@xMoonlala]

I used to love watching his MKWii videos when I was younger ❤

[@Cimera42]

Great commentary to go with a fun run!

[@JEJJ5333]

Nice run! This is my favorite Crash game

[@zorac91]

His commentary throughout the run was pretty bad ass in my opinion, great run

[@VinMetal666]

Hey this guy was killing it. And so did suicidey. Sword of Seals did a great job.

[@kapol5803]

The Best speedrun of the Best Game.

[@LordFakeGodz]

This is probably one of the most entertaining to watch speed run (next to some well known RPG games, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, etc) Because the game have so many neat tricks combined with a great runner who can communicate with viewers, It's just amazing. Too bad, last year Crash Bandicoot 2 was, probably, the MOST awful run ever, not just as a crash bandicoot speed run, but as the whole speed run itself. Swordofseals do amazing job here.

[@8Dovahkiin8]

godlike road to ruin despite that bonus round death, nice run bro! :D

[@worldsboss]

I'm really glad so many people turned out for this run. Sword's a really cool runner to watch so I'm glad it went so well. Mario Kart Wii speedrun next time, Sword? :D

[@ABUZUKER]

You guys are awesome

[@ChaosPootato]

Really good run! :D

[@tylerchilon2739]

THIS IS AWESOME

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

i love the way the UK has gotten into the scene i like his style of talking he is funny

[@zerolites9578]

I saw 'swordofseals' and immediately clicked on the assumption that this was an FE6 run. Still stayed, of course =)

[@tripmann268]

Getting every single box in the game is NEXT LEVEL

[@GustavoMdeOliveira]

That guy is AWESOME!

[@Solbisunami]

Never gets old

[@URGDarkRaptor]

omg I miss this game soooo much!!

[@DisRuptMedia]

Fantastic run, love seeing it on the PS and not PC.

[@hectorclavero7825]

Amazing!

[@jaydenp7067]

Great Speedrun from A Fomer MKW Player GG Tom

[@ZipplyZane]

It's been announced since then that the remastered version comes out in June, no December.

[@IamtheOneHitOnly]

This guy is a god!

[@ImCozH]

Bro when everyone applauded you at the end and you looked so relieved, I felt that man 🤣 great run mate!

[@derpty420lerp3]

that girl has a voice of a angel

[@KamalElOUALLALE95]

OH MY GOD ! HE REALLY DID A GREAT JOB !

[@PLANTBAT]

WAOW!!

[@Totaltricky69]

when you cream do you scream?

[@PLANTBAT]

Do you ecksdee when you squee?

[@prodigy10690]

Whats with the random black flicker every so often on the gdq vids?

[@SomeGamerNoob]

Serious question: On the level "Pack Attack", why is it quicker/better to skip the jetpack part?

[@HMZOX92]

8:10

[@MrVinicius343]

why many of the speed runs have the sound so low. i i'm with all my configs in max and still cant understand what they say.

[@ethanburke8140]

Big ups to Mark Mothersbaugh, for making this game's soundtrack so catchy.

[@adriancallme7170]

the beginning was so funny lol

[@Fractorification]

It'll be interesting to see these games speedrunned in the N Sane Trilogy without the glitches.

[@AAABattery24]

If you're a Mario Kart Wii fan, you likely already know who Sw0rd0fSeals... dude is awesome.

[@MasterAtFinalFantasy]

Great speedrun! Just curious, can anyone name who's on the couch for me?

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

fuck yeah crash bandicoot 2 i loved this game in my childhood... i even redownloaded them on my PS3 forever

[@nizzystorm7067]

PS3 version is shit for speedrunning on though.

[@TheToofu]

New speed run on remake?

[@Silveri94]

And I really thought my 1 Hour 30 min without 100% run would be good.. this guy is a beast

[@nizzystorm7067]

Hey, em, any% world record is 39 minutes.

[@ASLTheatre]

Makes me better appreciate the HD remake.

[@davidglazer1748]

Favorite moments: 34:06 for the jump, then 34:22 39:09 through 39:55 1:09:25 1:11:50 And 1:27:20 + 1:28:20 dropped my jaw!

[@BrophyMichael]

39:09 - Tell me about it!!! wtaf?!! It took me sooo many hours to figure out the 'right' way - then... boom.. justlikethat. XD

[@JSK01]

Sword!!!

[@Crashpunk]

Awesome run! I still haven't figured out how to do the Slide Spin combo correctly. I can't nail the timing. :S

[@KoroftheSon]

Make sure you're releasing the direction as soon as you input the slide, and then let the slide go as long as possible before you input the spin. That's what I found worked for me.

[@sunbob_]

game theory: is crash bandicoots mask actually plank from ed edd n eddy?

[@asdf852asdf]

sunbob YT game theory is crash actually bill and mandy on top of eachother

[@Riko_KSB_YGO]

Game theory: Is Crash Bandicoot actually Billy AND Mandy at the same time?

[@JEJJ5333]

I see what you did there

[@Jacketpotatos1]

or was it bowser from other videogame??

[@Riko_KSB_YGO]

Did you know Crash is an anagram for... Sarhc?

[@MegaChrisglenn]

that was a good run and what not :3

[@DrGandW]

24:21 I'm happy that that box placement is obnoxious for speedrunners too

[@fermin3rd]

Is it really that hard to have a jump marker in the description?

[@NurMarvin]

Run starts at 8:03

[@Tomsomad]

7:47

[@MrSharpClaw]

April has such a pleasant voice.

[@Cirphlyx]

sword is great, I remember when he made mkwii videos :)

[@mistralgalegaming2632]

Didn't expect him to be here, recognized him immediatly in that Mario Kart 8 one last year. Thought he only did Mario Kart stuff, but then again, thats also what I expected from Mr. Bean

[@mistralgalegaming2632]

and hes getting me into Crash..

[@wiiuski]

I always had a problem with the bodyslam crates at the end of "Crash Dash", in where i would always fall through the floor/wall area and die

[@nizzystorm7067]

Yeah, that's a meme.

[@JakeHennett]

I don't think I've ever gotten 100% on Crash Bandicoot 2, let alone in under 2 hours. This is absolutely insane.

[@nizzystorm7067]

It's not that difficult to get it under 2 hours not at all.

[@k-leb4671]

Oh hey, it's that guy who shows up on TroyDW98's channel occasionally.

[@cosmo2321]

Oh my god its swordofseals from the mario kart wii days

[@KamalElOUALLALE95]

INCREDIBLE RUN !!! HOW'S THAT POSSIBLE ???

[@nizzystorm7067]

The Slide Neutral Spin? (Sword called the Neutral Slide Spin).

[@ProNecrosis]

Who is the person reading the donations? What is their name?

[@gothicbee8244]

Those apples look tasty

[@golternator333]

GothicBee WUMPA FRUITS! :)

[@Kareem_Ahmed17]

i'm gonna wump you!

[@Gearless13]

whoa!

[@olliechiplin2017]

I just dont understand how you can be this good I'm so shit

[@cable-xc1ex]

way to go Tom

[@rgqwerty63]

Is this the same guy who did the dual comm on Mrbeans run?

[@percevaldragmire]

Starts at 8:06

[@KamikazePhil]

I saw MrBean run this and it had only a few mistakes but only 6 seconds quicker. Has a lot changed?

[@nizzystorm7067]

Yes. MrBean35000vr uses older slower strats.

[@Ljovynn]

The guy who invented mario kart 64 Wii :D

[@youngjay9676]

mhm

[@Tef-ng4sk]

ludvig4 that was mrbean35000vr

[@stlngds]

Woah.

[@nsxcjm]

Brutal 😉

[@nackoy]

1:08:11 Perfect timing

[@richarddanko957]

please upload the fire emblem: blazing sword run

[@bongangombane4926]

The donations announcer's voice is mesmerising...

[@Nathan-yn5zd]

Sword when are you gonna make another Mario kart wii video

[@mitchsorrenstein5186]

So when will we see a Crash Bandicoot 3 105% on GDQ?

[@nizzystorm7067]

Probably never. The World Record is 2:01:09. And it probably won't even be the WR holder actually running it.

[@darkart800]

7:50 run begins
