SGDQ 2017 - Chrono Trigger Speedrun (Any%)

[@Luckysquirrel1256]

Watched this today after hearing about Akira Toriyama passing. His artstyle on this game as well as in the Animated cutscenes was glorious! I had hope we would one day get a Chrono Trigger Remake, but if Toriyama can't be a part of it, then it is best we appreciate what we have.

[@ericv00]

I always name Crono "Kino", Marle "Leene", Lucca "Taban", Frog "Cyrus", Robo "Lavos", and Magus "Ozzie" for maximum text box confusion.

[@chicoti3]

why Kino though?

[@ericv00]

@@chicoti3 For how ridiculous the conversations between Ayla, Crono, and Kino become during the rare red rock chapter.

[@chicoti3]

@@ericv00 Oh yea, I completely forgot about that beta male that Ayla shags.

I've been going through a lot of anxiety the past week or so an during that time, whenever I had a few spare minutes here and there, I'd watch this run. It has brought me immense relief and comfort. Thank you.

[@crazycatman696]

I hope you’re feeling better!

I love Puwexil runs. I want to hire him to play through games for me while I drink beer and eat chips on my couch.

[@ITRIEDEL]

Greg Lytle lmao

[@rpghero46]

i would do the same...exept..well.....he would be wearing less clothes.

[@lil_bear]

Haha that’s a great idea

[@zorbitalz]

Puwexil, I love watching your runs. Informative, entertaining, and classy. Keep up the good work and great time on this run!

[@jasonmoore6810]

Absolutely love when you run or are involved in runs in gdq. Thanks for the great entertainment Puwexil!

[@humpymcsaddles3696]

i was hooked on Puwexil a few months ago after i watched his ff7 run on AGDQ. not only did that run remind me of how powerful these games were for my childhood but they even inspired me to play several of those games again. just a few hours ago i finished a 45 hour casual run of the original FF Tactics and a few weeks before that i finished up BoF 3 and BoF 4.

[@frozenaorta]

I've been a master at this game since its release almost 23 years ago. Including New Game+ runs, I've literally been through it hundreds of times. There isn't anything left I don't know... Which is what I thought until today. I've never in my life seen that Green Dream/Elixer bug. I may not be a part of the speedrunning community, but I'm still shocked I learned something about this game today. Well done.

[@mtclifton]

Great run Puexil. I donated during the run with a heartfelt message, idk if it got read or not. anyways thanks for the awesome CT run at SGDQ!

[@AndyHoward]

In the Steam Version: I talked to Marle to make sure she was OK and THEN I picked up the pendant and gave it back. I let her buy her candy (no candy skip) and got a unanimous Not Guilty verdict (7-0). First time ever

[@chestnut45]

Amazing run. I cannot wait to see this hopefully at the next GDQs live!

[@StormTehSinner]

Just got Chrono Trigger on Steam and tried out that "shield skip" at the first prison and actually made it first try ;D Still damn proud, even after 2nd time I failed. ;)

[@jordinpagel5976]

Puwexil is such a stand up dude, told him on twitch how much I liked his ff7 run and you could hear the genuine appreciation in his voice.

[@DavidKlausa]

The music makes this game: forest, End of Time, Zeal. The tranquility of underground frog hideouts. These runners make me sad though, admitting that exterior life is meaningless, so we may as well learn every turn in an old RPG...

[@Saiavinn]

Man on the Internet just released his preview for Chrono Trigger the Musical. He started with Undertale and the majority of those tracks came out beautifully~ I'd recommend keeping up with him in the coming year. It'll be fun!

That was worth the 3 hours for the FFMQ reference. I wish I had this aswell on SNES.

[@sarcomaful]

was very cool SGDQ overall, especially all the "long" jrpgs that got run. looking forward for AGDQ (gotta get the 2.5mil!)

[@TacoRemixx]

Puwexil you’re so damn charismatic dude haha super fun watching you

[@Coolnerd89]

One of those dudes has their mic waaaaaay too close to their face. All through the run.... *smack* *swallow* *lick* *breathe* At least he was doing it in order.

Damn, I didn't even know you could cancel triggers in this game CRAZY

[@pitisk8]

Ojalá explicaran los trucos en español

[@Jack-yq6ui]

Question: are there speedrun categories in which they try to beat the game as fast and "normal" as possible. I.e. the way the developers intended or as close to that as possible?

[@brmevans]

Puwexil and his couch for PRESIDENT 2024!!!!!!!

[@elimgarak4667]

Best game ever. WONDER SHOT!!! Ayla is the Sabin of this game. You don't even have to give her sexy ass a weapon, she's just tough as nails. lol

[@AnuragJ100]

Do most people say "Marl" or do they say "Marlee"? I've been saying Marl (or Mar-ul) this whole time. Also, awesome run!

[@Shiznoz222]

Same

[@anthonyhumphrey231]

I always pronounced it as Marl I've also seen debates on how to pronounce Magus, I usually say "May-gus" but most people seem to say "Mag-us"

[@ManMadeGod4]

I think it's Marl because the name Merle is pronounced Merl. That's how I argue it at least. Magus is more confusing since I've heard it pronounced four different ways. May-jus or May-gus and Mag-us or Maj-us.

[@Synndell]

the real pronunciation is mar lee and mag us

[@keinlanz]

I believe most people say "Marl" not "Marlee", but the pronunciation is subjective so it really doesn't matter that much. Magus, on the other hand, should be "MAY-gus"

[@Matheus55032]

Please someone help me. I'm playing this game for the first time and get stuck. Right after 3:41:21 Crono was killed and I dont know what to do. I didnt get Mayus, and I'm Lost... sad because I dont have Crono and I like to play with him. I dont know what to do with the Chrono Trigger... please someone help me

[@turnercash2037]

You go back to the millenial fair and get a copy of crono from the skull tent on the right, and then go to the end of time and talk to the guy there. Hope this helps

[@Gitarookefka]

Play the game, it's 20 years old just go play it.

[@debrucey]

Slug I play it regularly. I don’t need to be told the story in a speedrun , I just think it’s more engaging that way. Like muttski/luzbelheims final fantasy runs at GDQ

[@auzziully4538]

50:18 Never Gonna Give you up

[@benfallen2960]

Whats witg the empty equipment slots? please explain

[@puwexil]

It's a glitch that takes off a character's armor/helmet (which isn't intended to be possible), resulting in their magic attack and resistance stats getting a large boost.

[@SnivyTries]

You're getting them naked...for stats. Totally for the stats.

[@matthewross6293]

Great run guys. Maybe don’t let Red explain things though. He seems to have issues getting the words out and jumbles them around pretty bad while he fiddles with his water bottle.

[@seansolidworks4736]

I enjoyed reds descriptions. They were very detailed and he obviously has an in depth knowledge of the game. He was getting caught on the details of the explanation when he was faltering. He’s just nervous.

[@JosephGeorgeJoseJorge]

Like if you think Chrono Trigger is the best game of all time

[@andrewmagin95]

They seriously need to do this run like every day. I would seriously pay them like a million dollars just to play chrono trigger for me.

[@Vadagarr]

I loved the run up until you glitch em with elixirs. Those kind of glitches i hate seeing in speed runs. It just completely breaks the game.

[@KountryKowboy29]

It aint a speed run until you do it 100% legit I dont like glitches, cheats, or walk throughs following someone else's strategies and tricks if you dont play the game legit instead of glitches and junk its not showing no skill at all i dont mind what the hell anyone says about it either. Didn't accomplish nothing by doing it if you cannot play it legit that is worse as Ocarina of Time watching an idiot jumping through a fence glitching the board with a chicken to slide all the way to ganon with 3 hearts beating the game. Just as much as Chrono Trigger trying to get to Lavo's the easy way without doing it the hard way its not no competetion by speed running through the game with glitches and tricks that doesn't prove anything. When I play RPG I find it all 100% no matter how long it takes then I beat the game when I find everything unlocked instead of rushing through the game with speed runs glitching my way to what did I accomplish by doing it nothing. A true gamer plays a speed run legit not glitches his or her way through the game trying to beat top score if you cheat your time shouldn't count at all.

[@eudaimonistic]

That's why there are different categories. You can do a speedrun with no glitches, a 100% speedrun with no glitches, an any% run with or without glitches... You need to read up a little more on speedrunning before you claim you know what does and doesn't count as a legitimate speedrun. The community has very specific rules, and this allows people to compete for different goals. That way, everybody is happy! So, when do you plan on submitting your glitchless run?
