GSA - Global Speedrun Association Tournaments This is awesome!!! I’m so glad someone is adding some competition into the SMM community.

There's a delay echo on the interview, someone has their speakers on

[@pessimisticpianist582]

I see "Ryukahr" in the title I click.

Same here. That's how I found these videos.

Could you pls create a indicator that shows how many levels they have cleared...other than that i love this content :)

@@luciusvorenus1228 like i said...the sets they won are visible beside their name...and something that would show how many levels they have cleared that is refreshed each set would be nice... Like if both have won a set and there are only 2 min left, id like 2 be able to SEE that its a close match rather then listening and watching super focused for an entire hour. Like it could just say match 2 out of 3 and show the level clears like a soccer or football score...that would be dope ^×^

Yeah are they programmed to do that sometimes?

Someone should've checked the audio on the post match interviews; it sounds like 3 different conversations with echo all happening at once

Both did great

@Alexander Peterson That is true, I'm just salty that my man Ryu didn't get the sweep. 😀

[@AllredGL]

@Merciless Freak lmao you’re just mad ryu won stfu

[@phosphorus4]

BANZAI bills. I AM ryuwatching this…

[@druidtrading]

so much effort in to the UI of the tourney, yet no score line! wtf?

[@Icyoctober]

Honestly, this is truly skilled based. A little luck but mostly skill. There were many levels that Ryu beat that weren’t fast levels but skill based levels. I saw the other guy struggle on some. In the end, it was fun to watch! I just think ryu has some serious skill and quick thinking to knock out many levels.

[@danielpayne1597]

The players swapped excellent runs & rough ones, each making 10. Props. Go Ryu!

[@luminous6969]

0:39 Did he say "Rye-you-car"? Who's that?

[@Toddis]

Why'd they make the sun look like that in the 3d Mario levels

[@krazyzyko]

Is 10 clears the highest score in this format?

[@BluePi3142]

11 by iiPK I think.

[@luciusvorenus1228]

This is sooo broken They should both be playing the same levels on a timer !

[@OfficerCucumber]

Ik this has a lot of RNG involved

[@djamila9804]

On what they are basing on to skip the levels ?

[@thepbblatias8897]

World record time, their aim is to complete as many levels as possible but if the record is more than a minute, they skip and find a faster level

[@akunog2708]

World record time is only one consideration. A level may have a 15 second WR, but it's 5 wind assisted mid-airs in a row hehe. doesn't take long if you do it right, but good luck. Basically they are using their intuition and some data such as the world record time, clear rate, and general feel of the level (avoid trolls) to maximize the number of levels they can clear in the 15 minute match. Skipping does not cost any lives, only about 14 seconds. So, it's wise to skip liberally.

[@NoName-qi7vx]

World record time and JANK.

[@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIPKIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

It's more than all the things listed though... After a while of playing you develop a sixth sense, some say Ryu has done enough of these in practice he has sharpened the skill of getting a knack for knowing intuition-wise when a level is "hot garbage" i.e. unplayable... It makes all the difference having a good sense for these things since it's a big part of the tournament structure...

[@Takkunaso]

There is a lot of skill in beating these levels on the first try. Put yourself on a 15 min timer and see how many expert levels you complete and then you would understand. However, there is luck involved when you get short and quick levels

[@chrissmook5307]

what can they win?

[@grimmSOL]

Was beginning to wonder just how many times the commentator was going to end a sentence with so...

[@joerivera6334]

beast checking out the competition, lol...

[@henriwind5473]

This is just weird with two good players facing each other it’s basically luck who gets the “easier” and shorter levels.

[@Takkunaso]

Yes, and no, but I can understand your perspective.

[@blruha3753]

But they can skip the level. So it's not about only luck, but also the tactics to choose the level

[@davidmckean955]

I thought this the first time I watched a couple matches, but now that they're six weeks in I realize it's a little more nuanced than that. All the best players have managed to rise to the top.

[@iveo83]

really interested in the comments at the end but the audio is awful. Can that be fixed?

[@JezzmanGAMES]

Master Ryu, the Mario Magician!

Not his fault he doesn’t get handed easy short levels like xwater

i feel like this entire setup is all based on luck :| i mean of course there's a lot of skill involved.. but at these 2 guys levels... it all comes down to luck in the end.

[@ahuruglica]

Exactly, both are very good players so luck and knowing when to skip plays a major part, rather than skill.

[@karmaslogan]

Sure, but so many luck based games are played competitively. It’s still entertaining.

[@NoName-qi7vx]

If it really was luck ryu wouldbt be winning consistently. I think it is more like poker. A lot of luck but honestly more skill than RNG. The player who doesnt die to boo circles and tight jumps can clear levels more quickly. Ryu sometimes one shots janky ass stages that others would skip

[@lambchu6459]

xwater doesnt look as expected.

[@leebrandon3842]

it seems these are all about luck of the draw. all the players are skillful enough to win but it just depends on what kind of levels u get. i'd rather go against an equal playing field of levels not left to random crap.

Why do commentators hate ryu so much

[@ScrumpTCG]

Commentators are terrible

[@berkcan3475]

gotta say if you have no way to make them play exact same levels this VS is shit as only thing accounted for is luck here

[@IsaLinh]

Your point? It’s both luck and skill based. They skip depending on the WR time and usually play the speedruns. Though it would be fun as well to watch then play the same level if that was possible, which it sadly isn’t. But this is fine too. :)

[@airlanggadiandraputra2836]

and make it super expert only, right?? if you think the sense of skipping a level is luck, well..

[@whatsnext8548]

By that logic, competitive poker shouldn't be a thing..

[@berkcan3475]

@@whatsnext8548 its as this is a thing but IMO both is shit, compared to chess

[@GrimToad]

Berk Can this is just a case of you not understanding the skill. The skill here is twofold, first you need to be a good player that you can reliably complete these levels. Next you need to be able to identify the trends within levels to know which ones are worth attempting. Chess is similar. For a person who only just knows the rules it seems like luck when a grandmasters strategy pays off 15 moves later.

[@rylanarmstrong3529]

ryu!!!

[@never_ending2220]

It’s too much luck base

[@draytonsgames3980]

This style of challenge us dumb. It's just random, literally no skill involved. Just luck on short levels. Idgaf about knowing when to utilize a skip. Wish there was a quick way to custom a level race where it has the same design of endless mode but you can customize what levels are in.
