GSA - Global Speedrun Association Tournaments well now your ratings are gone since rhyu is out. Should not have had bias commentators and a silly format where rhyu defeats ipk and is still somehow second ! Good luck on the rest of the tournament !

[@Brazy_Shrimp]

Ryukahr you’re just the best

[@andy02q]

HUGE props to Oshi for putting up this fight given the fucking gigantig gap in experience for that particular game. Oshi learned a lot since the match with IIPK, yet there's still many small things and some small things have huge consequences. One example is when Oshi punched through one column of bricks only to realize, that he needs to destroy both columns in order to enter the pipe and now has to restart. Another one is when he jumps to the flagpole which is 30% on the screen - hitting the jump, but falling to his death. Both times Ryu would have known and you really see on Oshis mimic that he's no robot on these, yet he shakes it off and keeps on fighting. On the other hand there's Ryu who has been playing 2D-Mario almost fulltime for 5 years+ playing both mm1 and mm2 from release, attending events, gaining world record after world record in mm1/2 levels and highly competed Rom hacks and creating countless levels in mm1, mm2 and even his own Romhacks.

[@anthonyreuben]

Why isn't Ryukahr advancing to the final stage?

[@DeltaStorm27]

He gave up. He stated in his discord that he isn't a big fan of the format, so he just quit. He also said there are other things he wants to work on, but he would only have to play 3 games max...

[@NortheasternATV]

SSTK Why would he give up so late into it though? Like learning you don’t like the format should happen after 1 or 2 runs...

[@icedtea649]

Pretty sure the end is single elimination so... that's a different format

[@akunog2708]

@@charaleet6494 I agree, RIP GSA SMM2. hopefully the next format will be to the dragon's liking. Seems like it would have to be an ego thing or something. If he was too busy he could just show up for the tourney matches and see how it shakes out without much prep. The actual matches would only take a few hours, and can be done while live streaming anyway. Only issue is if he doesn't dedicate the time and focus to it he will not perform as well, but we've already established the level of RNG is very high for single elimination, so I don't think there's much of a street cred loss for losing the tourney, even in spectacular first round knock-out fashion. tldr, I will miss Ryu in this tourney greatly, but wish him luck in whatever he is working on.

[@akunog2708]

Also, i could be grossly under-estimating how many matches/time the final format entails as I have not seen the details.

Hopefully someone can answer this, but why isn't Ryukahr participating in the playoffs? On the Challonge website it says that he dropped out and that Dansta is going to be replacing him.

[@gcplayer9970]

I think after losing to Foxen he realised he wasn't gonna beat iipk again and pulled out. Bit strange to not like the format (his reason) after pretty much completing the whole thing... I think it's a combination of both - he wasn't that keen on the format but would have continued if he thought he was gonna win.

[@phosphorus4]

@@gcplayer9970 But…You don't have to "win" before the playoffs…Foxen would have nothing to do with winning the whole thing…

[@xa5150]

@@phosphorus4 It's just baseless assumptions and projecting. Supposedly, based on other comments, the format is somewhat different in the finals. Also, it could just as easily be issues with the significance of RNG, not believing that the scoring system is an accurate representation of skill/standings, a combination of both in that RNG becomes more significant with single elimination in the finals (further decreasing the ability for RNG/the odds to equal out), etc.Maybe he was excited at the beginning and it progressively became more lackluster and there are other life commitments that arose that he needed to take care of, which is more in line with what he said than what was said above. He gave a diplomatic reason and retained privacy of the specifics of his personal life other than saying he has a busy schedule and withdrew when it was least impactful to the competition. For some reason, people think they are owed more than that and disparage him, saying he is slapping fans in the face and disrespecting them by withdrawing or assigning traits, such as being a sore loser above, to him without justification. It's sad really. Shows more how they think than it reflects on Ryu.

[@sarads7877]

I don’t think he’s staight up giving his spot to dansta... like i don’t think dansta is now #2, there are simply 7 players in the top 8 now, so there is enough space for the 9th guy to pass as well... so dansta did kinda earn it, as he still scored 9 🤷‍♀️ better than making a new guy that has never played pass

It would be very helpful for fans if you showed the match number. I only watch Ryu, and I expect there are other fans who only watch one or a few players. Since there's no playlist for each player, match numbers would make it easy for us to know which episodes to watch.

Can someone explain to me how this whole things works? How are points earned? What is the season vs the playoffs? etc. I love this series, but I dont get it at all.

[@danieljacobs446]

1 point per match won (out of 3 matches). 1 extra point for winning the best 2 out of 3. As such, 3 rounds are always played even if one player already won 2 out of 3 to determine who gets the points. The playoffs begin after this. There are two divisions, A and B, with 12 players in each. The regular season determines which players progress to the playoffs, as only the top 8 from each division do so. It then goes Round of 16, Quarter Finals, Semi Finals, Bronze match (semi finals loser's bracket), finals. The following is copied verbatim from the website: The top 8 from both Divisions advance from the Regular Season and are seeded Division A seed 1 is matched with Division B seed 8, Division A seed 2 with Division B seed 7, etc Bracket is single elimination Round of 16 and Quarter Final rounds are single matches of best of 5 games/races Semi Finals, Bronze and Grand Final matches are single matches of best of 7 games/races

[@FratNightGaming]

@@danieljacobs446 Thank you. Do you have a link to the site so I can view more details?

[@FratNightGaming]

@@danieljacobs446 For seeding, does win/loss record matter then, or is it points based? I dont understand why points would matter if the person who wins 2 out of 3 is considered the winner in the standings. Also, lets say you win all 3 games in a set, you actually get 4 points?

[@danieljacobs446]

@@FratNightGaming points do matter though, at least in determining who is in the top 8, as a win can be worth either 3 points for you and 1 for your competitor, or 4 for you and none for your competitor, and the standings in the top 8 are based on points, not wins.

[@DeltaStorm27]

Although in my opinion it's bad form to give up right before the finals

[@xa5150]

@@DeltaStorm27 In my opinion, with how the format is, that is actually the optimal point at which to do it where the impact is negligible. If he pulled out beforehand, some people would have faced him in that bracket, while others wouldn't have, meaning the difficulty and likelihood of obtaining points would have varied because the opponents would not have been consistent throughout. Easiest way to look at it is that the people who lost to him in the later games could've gotten points they otherwise did not get because Ryu stayed in, whereas the earlier opponents wouldn't have had that possibility. By pulling out before the finals, as opposed to during the finals, he does not impact the final standings in the same way. By leaving during the transition, they can just fill hit slot with the next highest ranking individual in the tournament, which the competitors can't complain about because they all underwent the same conditions. The only arguably better thing would've been to not participate at all, but sometimes you don't know how things will go or how much certain things will bother you until you've got some experience doing them (prime example: the divorce rate).

computers, and/or the speed of electrons, or perhaps photons. i don't know, sorry for being a disappointment.

[@phosphorus4]

No no the commentary is definitely off by a bit.

[@kianakuuipo]

Why is ryu not continuing the competition? 😭

[@Rx7man]

I like both players, I think Oshi should learn a little from Ryu though with quicker skip decisions

[@malott72]

So close Oshi! OSHI OSHI OSHI!!!

[@FreshGirl3000]

It confuses my so much that the facecams are not synchronized. Because you don't even realize it until the end when Ryu's voice suddenly travels through time😂

[@mixerxtreme7054]

YES YES YEAH RYUKAR👏👏👏🎆🎆

[@LordOrwell]

Respect for Oshikorosu. I follow Ryukhar but i've seen Oshi and i had no idea he was that good.

[@VexedMed]

Hell yeah, oshi is great but wanted ryu to pull it out so bad. I want to see him up against thabeast

[@Lucifer-hq5pe]

Sadly, he won't face Thabeast. :(

[@VexedMed]

Lucifer 666 well, not in this tournament. Would be cool to see them do anything collaborative in smm2

[@Lucifer-hq5pe]

@@VexedMed Yeah, something like that super hard co-op level Beast did with Kirbs.

[@VexedMed]

Lucifer 666 yeah that was sick, kaizo madness
