First time watcher. Can you explain how this works? Why is this division B? Does the winner promote to A or is it just 2 different brackets or something?

[@cap5macca5jack5]

I would watch if these two commentators where not doing the commentary 🙄 one keeps pausing when he speaks and keeps messing up the two players name keeps laughing at his unfunny jokes. Both are not paying attention to the score and keep getting off topic. And the other bonehead keeps rooting for ipk if your a Commentator your job is to report what is happening not rooting for one player, telling stupid unfunny jokes pausing and starting a sentence! I almost muted and almost didn't watch, I watched because of Ryu at 24:36 I ended up muting my TV

[@camykw]

Commenters are biased. They aren't owning up to it. They have so many wonderful things to say in regards to iipk, no matter what happened in the race. However, they make it seem like Ryu is just lucking out; and not that a big reason on why it may seem 'easy,' is due to his skill. They comment on the speed runs; He could skip speed runs, if it was a tight one, it would be considered unlucky. Plus there is pressure with speed runs etc. Also, saying that he got levels that worked with what he is skilled at? He is overall skilled. Don't downplay his win. Ryu is good at what he does. They both are. However, if they are to be considered professionals spectating; they need to be fair in their commentating.

Like always....

Stephen Holtom people go to school for sports commentary, it’s not easy

[@thekeegmeister2706]

Tom Heath I’m not saying that it’s not bad, it’s totally bad, it’s just not easy thing just to try and do

[@lucy-qe2hg]

So bad with the guy getting Ryu and ipk mixed up constantly

15:00 when you call Jirachi the pokemon of luck

[@marcobueno8146]

How the commentators gonna talk about lick with speed runs when IIPK is skipping all the speedruns?

[@flamebReath]

Thank you KZbin for only recommending the ones with Ryu in it

[@ruhanahmed1718]

Honestly 😂🙏

[@BluePi3142]

Out of curiosity, why wouldn’t you watch the others? I understand that ryu’s a big name and one of the big faces of SMM, but is that the only reason? Not trying to be mean just genuinely curious.

@@BluePi3142 He's entertaining, doesn't try to be over the top, and doesn't get frustrated at every single thing. It's a lost art in the "dream bigger" world of youtube, to the point that one might consider refreshing.

Ryus high score almost triples iipk!

5:02 ohhh there's my italian mate on Ryukahr's side! The title means "Swinging Swing" (The swing you find in playgrounds)

[@arusnock]

Counter of how many levels are completed for each round would be a nice addition to the visual.

[@SpeedrunEvents]

Hey! There will be an onscreen score tracker in the next round, thanks for the support!

[@patuatar0611]

I feel like the commentators have never seen someone eat food before

[@mst_angel437]

Right? Announcing everytime ryu took a bite was real annoying.

[@danieltramp7432]

There was another video where Ryu had a water bottle and the same commentator went nuts every time he drank from it. "And theres Ryu taking a big *SIP* " 14 times in a row

[@williamr7416]

What a finish! Congrats to the man with the beard :)

[@CB-lh4ph]

As much fun as this is it isnt really fair unless they get the same levels. They should still be able to skip but line up say 100 levels in the same order for both players and let them choose when to skip
