WE GET IT HE'S YOUR MAN

[@allencummings7564]

I don't think you get it

[@lilmookieesquire]

I thought I was watching Rick and Morty in the background.

[@allencummings7564]

i dunno. i have to watch it again now? xD

[@allencummings7564]

my man B|

[@jackrusso4700]

Craig Adams dude chill

[@zhq6358]

M Y M A N

[@GenteelCretin]

Mr. Goldenfold, chilling in the audience.

[@alexhernan87ify]

What I was thinking! Hahahahaha

[@Leto_0]

Man it's gotta be hard to pull off these tricks live in a room full of people while you have experts talking about how hard the next trick is

[@hibikimaiku]

For real!

[@oguzhangungor9117]

I ADORE the guy who is commentating in this run. That guy does a FANTASTIC job no matter what the game is.

[@swankidelic]

Blechy rocks. He's been with GDQ since the beginning. A lot of runners know all the tech, Blechy knows the tech and knows how to make it interesting.

[@ThePogger]

Apart from saying it was a deathless run. Lol

[@Leto_0]

ThePogger80 deathless means they don't abuse a death mechanic that let's you warp forward a bit

[@Leto_0]

Most of the videos I've seen from this year have had fantastic commentary, esp the Halo 4 one.

[@proffessorX]

yeah there was a halo game, you can watch one here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXqZpJaGea92jNU So many games were destroyed it's hard to keep track, awesome event as usual.

[@balsalmicvinegar1259]

This guy is nuts at NES Metroid! Good job, metroidmcfly! keep it up!

[@robertanderson2898]

I'm still baffled how you all are playing through these games that I grew up with, and finishing in record time that no one else would even dream of....... I SALUTE YOU ALL .

[@SeansLipSyncingSock]

SO glad to see this game return to AGDQ! I was a kid in the 80s and this game was like the present and the future Maru Mari’d into one!

[@Ouijawii]

My man! Seeing this live was such a trip! Miss all you guys, what a legendary run!

[@Deciheximal]

26:38 - The bridge scene. I remember when I was a kid I wanted to see what happened if you shoot the Ridley statue from behind. I can confirm that you do get stuck.

[@peterwestmer576]

I appreciate that the runner is taking time to say thanks to (nearly) every donation. Shows class.

[@mesia0]

LOVED watching this run. McFly is a Metroid god. And of course, Blechy and Dragondarch are the best commentators ever.

[@richpie6308]

I believe he meant deathless as in deaths that help him warp to other areas, that first death sent him back progress wise so I think that's why, also I don't think AGDQ does resets? Not sure

[@Valanway]

GDQ does not do resets unless something goes horribly wrong very very early. I think I've only seen one real reset in the 4 years I've seen. Most the time the runners have to power through it or use a premade save they made in case of crashes

[@richpie6308]

Yeah I saw that happen in the Castlevania SotN run where he loaded from his medusa save, thanks

[@gregoryfishburne1303]

Yeah I think that's correct. I have seen a reset in Castlevania 2 once because he softlocked the game during a shortcut, it was 10 minutes into the run and there's no way out of it, but yes I think GDQ doesn't do resets unless required. And it sounded from the commentators like "deathless" was a simplified way to label this category, they said technically it's "warpless" but idk the details.

[@johnsimon8457]

AGDQ puts an emphasis on runs and commenters being entertaining, so, things aren't going be super strict.

[@Abyssalkid]

Keizaron's reset in Animorphs in AGDQ 2016 was amazing, if you haven't seen it, you need to. Everything goes horribly wrong in the most amazing way.

[@Kaledarkwind6151]

That was AWESOME! love me some metroids speed runs!

[@zippy5150]

Hey McFly, say hi to your Mother Brain for me.

[@waitressroyal]

[@GLI00M]

Biff

[@Mike-nf6nf]

Such a classic game! I still own the NES cart and play it every now and then.

[@Hakudan2]

My man My man My man My man … does this guy think he is Aquaman or something? lol

[@charlesmccoy7219]

Rick and Morty.

[@MisterMajister]

Yes.

[@NicholasWiewiora]

My man!

[@runnerhigh]

Ride ain't over yet!

[@thechrononaut1]

My favorite commentator was Jason Momoa's Aquaman.

[@ErizotDread]

Somehow, I missed this! Nice job McFly! Congrats!

[@choppog]

Took me 20 days to beat this game as a kid......and this guy did it in 20 min

[@JasonPizzolato]

Same, but I wasn't walking through walls (cheating), & I bet you weren't either. ;) I also didn't have hundreds of people clapping for me when I made a jump. :/

[@tttc]

31:05 Some in the crowd are waving back :)

[@korgothkillings2032]

These are the greatest thing ever

[@MrArrylay]

16:40 Loves these rooms in classic Metroid. Play that room's music on the way to opening Christmas gifts.

[@DementedDistraction]

Got this game for Christmas when I was in the 2nd grade. I had no idea what I was doing back then. Still haven't beaten it.

[@MrJoeBarbour]

MY MAN! first i thought it was annoying, then i smoked a bowl and thought it was great... My Man!

[@zsto144]

Excellent commentary

[@JohnnyAce-ud7qd]

This game is really something.

[@stinkypinkeee5085]

Such a great run...

[@mixmoxbox]

Wait, wait, wait... hold up, Metroid is a girl???

[@umbaupause]

Nah, it's MY WOMAN

[@korruption6]

And tasty!

[@nomukun1138]

I think Metroid is a pretty cool dude. He has a vagina and doesn't afraid of anything.

[@wheatleythebrick2276]

Andrew Turner wtf mate

[@JBiggsNewJersey]

"Metroid is a space man. He has a gun for an arm. He can turn into a circle" - Run Button

[@casualvinyl2286]

Such a great game

[@Kukulcan1984]

Where is blueglass? I miss his laugh...🤣

[@DaAwalk]

That makes 1 of us :) I really do love the guy though, hope he's doing alright.

[@whysvert]

I miss his Ecco runs :(

[@kreftmaker]

His my man is on point

[@gabyjoegaming4611]

Mah man!

[@domenicalonzo3274]

Killer run.

[@AlSmoothikins]

The runner has something of a southern charm to him.

[@jdozer96]

That was pretty sick.

[@honestinsincerity2270]

McFly!! MCFLYYYYYYYY!!!!

[@double124]

go to about 7:00 and compare the two release dates….

[@JasonPizzolato]

Damn, when I was playing this game on my Nintendo in like 1986, why didn't I have a room full of hundreds of people clapping for me when I made a jump? :/

[@KasranFox]

Somewhere, a Twin Galaxies judge is watching those door glitches and crying.

[@ZipplyZane]

They should have just called it "no deathwarp," if they were worried the other things looked like warps. That's better than "deathless," since it was always possible the runner would die.

[@Will-nq3fo]

1st NES game I ever beat!

[@bozitojugg3rn4ut]

great job

[@pdubs1900]

Great run! My man guy got annoying though... Once is cool. A callback is fun. But something like a dozen times in a 30 minute run es no bueno.

[@FFcecil1991]

Looking for a run with original sprite (helmeted Samus).

[@petersilie304]

So it's possible to change the outfit depending on the password.

[@ianallen738]

It only took me about three years to beat this game the first time..

[@KB-ld7jw]

7:45

[@Rstraub12]

Nice run! And the runner does look like a McFly

[@kody654321]

MY MAN!!!!!!

[@alexanderm8892]

How do choose whether to fire a missile or the normal shot, when the NES only had two buttons (A+B)?

[@Crosis2814]

Select

[@tab89]

Was that off screen to his home planet thing a Simpsons poochy reference?

[@robotsex111]

Commentator was great

[@csys690]

The guy on the left looks like he's holding his eyes closed as tight as he can.

[@Skywalker-zu7od]

MY MAN

[@dirkgently6928]

Your audio levels are wonky, I spent half of the Dragon Warrior block trying to figure out why my volume had to be all the way up to hear, then this block started and blew my damn headphones out

[@kingmiller1982]

Amazing

[@Karanagi]

warpless != wrapless

[@ianv3180]

*When is AM2R coming to gdq?*

[@TheSVSexton]

Ian van Ingen it'll never happen. nintendo's robot lawyers that shoot bees out of their mouths would be sicced on the charity event and force them out of buisness. For the record, it disgusts me, AM2R was a much better remake of RoS than Samus Returns, and it deserves the light of day.

[@ianv3180]

TheSVSexton I know, and i completely agree that samus returns is garbage shit compared to AM2R. But we had Super Metroid rotation hack and technicaly nintendo could just as easily take the event down for that.

[@TheSVSexton]

Ian van Ingen I honestly think they're butt hurt that a group of dedicated fans outperformed them. It kind of reminds me of Miyamoto shitting on the donkey kong country trilogy because of its "graphics". It's obvious he was just bitter that they improved on every element he'd designed to that point in nearly every way.

[@ianv3180]

TheSVSexton That's so true, i think if they'd hire DoctorM64s team and let them make 3DS port for AM2R nobody would have even noticed that is was made by an amateur developer team.

[@TheSVSexton]

Ian van Ingen It's not the same, but some good did come from this. I believe the media exposure helped get DrM64 hired on to help develop the new Ori game in the works, so at least he has a bright future ahead of him with even bigger and better things to come.

[@krocodockle2544]

I played hundreds of hours of super Metroid... Not until watching this video just now did i realize it was a remake.. always thought it was a part 2 with certain throwback rooms

[@ryco9669]

Krocodockle It's a sequel, with Return of Samus in between

[@ryco9669]

qvistus82 That's arguable. It's more in line with how after making a very different second game Nintendo went back to square one for the third (see Zelda, Fire Emblem). And then they made an actual remake in 2004

[@EqualsDeath]

a remake would be on the GBA.

[@rfrakctured]

Not exactly "deathless" though, was it?

[@repeater08]

All couch commentaries should be like this!

[@DrCorndog1]

My man Muscles from hand to foot Completely coated in uninterrupted skin My man Signals command the leg To follow orders coming down from headquarters

[@GoblinWar]

comedy is constantly making lame rick and morty references

[@marioisawesome8218]

Justin Clitheroe Basically the Uganda knuckles meme

[@JBiggsNewJersey]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

[@tpete096]

Jason Biggs It also takes a high level of intelligence to understand comedic timing (or comedy in general), and repeating the same thing over and over shows a lack of comedic intelligence. You don't need a high level of intelligence to understand references... just because you watched Zardoz once doesn't make you a smart critical thinker as the guy who keeps repeating the same joke demonstrates.

MY MANN

[@Juliett-A]

Ahh yes, the famous code that makes Mario run around in his boxers.

[@JBiggsNewJersey]

Say "My Man" again! I dare you, I double dare you!

[@NicholasWiewiora]

My man!

[@tpete096]

My man was funny the first time... but it got obnoxious really fast

[@The_Wandering_Nerd]

How did you get 75 missiles?

[@KeithPhillips]

Kraid and Ridley both give 75 missiles. It's impossibly hard to screenwrap and damage boost into Kraid's room with zero missiles...

[@JBbrownie98]

Metroid My Man Mick Fly

[@FluffyKnuckle]

The only thing i dont like about this game is, it doesnt have a map function. Still a great game.

[@Stormspinner]

The ' my man' thing was old last decade...

[@warpuppythedragon659]

It's geemer not g'eemer

[@Slenderquil]

Oh wow proton jon donated

[@AcidWords1]

A great way to revisit this game. You get the gist of it quickly and to be honest it's just too archaic for me to play anymore. I don't want to spend 10 minutes filling up health tanks every time I die.

[@TheNervousnation]

That was legit

[@daywalker3735]

I swear to god if I hear "my man" one more time......

[@profile1251]

IS THIS A VIDEO GAME ?

[@profile1251]

Is this a caulk block ?

[@donlee_ohhh]

I just stopped in to listen to the music.

[@4lifejeph]

Why does he get missiles right after beating kraid?

[@thebeholder5055]

Kraid always increases your missiles so does Ridley

[@michaelbeaulieu2475]

Damn, when I first played this game, this guys parents weren't even together yet...

[@gnastygnork5894]

my man

[@allencummings7564]

Epic.

[@LS-jj4sy]

What's up with Samus' changing hair color

[@KeithPhillips]

The color change is when he's switching from primary weapon to missiles (by pressing SELECT.)

[@elchido3517]

Would like to see a legit full run on metroid, without shortcuts, nor glitches.

[@willcool24]

He is the mannnn..dammm. good

[@fernando98322]

I clenched so hard when he had 2 energy left. My man!

[@theimperfectgod7140]

Oof this game is harsh.

[@Puckanm]

This stats at 6:52

[@Eric-ro8bw]

10 yr old me feels like a freak’n moron.... wait... so does 37 yr old me :/

[@ElFuzzinator]

Why does ridley look like kiff from futurama

[@thebeholder5055]

Futurama models itself after Metroid.

[@ethanbatts8034]

ayy. my man.

[@hamcakes1990]

My man!

[@lovesthebass]

Girl in the front can get it.

[@LaggyMcDougal]

k got it deathless

[@davidbaird4606]

LaggyMcDougal The official category is not deathless. Its just that deaths help you warp. So it is a warpless category

[@ThePogger]

David Baird that's not what was introduced by commentator. So NOT deathless in my book either. Maybe a mistake but that's what was said and I saw him die!

[@Greennoob2]

The guy saying “my man” needs to get over it, he’s late to that little meme

[@FenrisRM]

jesus, chill out lol

[@rahcassi5416]

You're thinking of "my dude" or "my guy". "My man" has been used for many many many years

[@tpete096]

Dev n No he's definitely referring to Rick and Morty. The runners name is a reference to Marty from back to the future and Morty is also a reference to Marty. The "my man" being repeated is in reference to one of the episodes (its also obvious by how he says it). Either way though, its fucking obnoxious.

[@peterlindstrom4233]

So i've watched the hole run whats my comment... M A H M A N!

[@CoIdnestea]

mYmAAAAn

[@melch_inyourmouth2121]

Awkward high fives at the end almost as awkward as the dude doin the Denzel My Man shout outs at again the most awkward times. Great run tho!!

[@trevormcdermal]

Nah those My Man's were natural and appropriate for those insane tricks. Great run indeed!

[@cassiodavid5250]

hello my game favorite super Metroid

[@GothicXlightning]

yeah!! i glad i grew up with this epic classic in my NES i did a roleplay series playthrough of Samus Aran on Mass Effect A some people may enjoy it :)
