happy birthday to the o.g, the grand daddy of speed running, our fucking man, Puwexil. Thanks for all the awesome times man

[@dwcoppola]

You're awesome, my man - I love watching any speedrun of yours and anything you do for commentary

[@CosmoRetroGaming]

Happy Birthday Puwexil, and your run, as always, was amazing! You rock! You also inspire so many runners, talking from experience with Mystic Quest; I love running 100%, anyway you are an amazing person and speedrunner and positive influence! Again, nice run, dude! Happy 4th!

[@nemesismagic5236]

Sick run for a sick happy birthday.

[@cannedsoup83]

happy birthday PUWEXIL!!!

[@MatthiaGryffine]

I applaud you for still doing Games Done Quick marathons. I miss how they used to be, because they have become so politicized that they have become almost unwatchable. It was ok for a time but I couldn't even watch this year's SMW Kaizo race all the way through and those were one of my favourite things to watch.

[@blueguitarthings4722]

Everything about this is goated

[@AkioHaRdCoRe]

very great run, definitely my favourite part of the event again this is just my absolute favourite game to replay on SNES, so many childhood memories

[@BetweenTheBorders]

Happy birthday! Between the run and uploading it, I hope you got some sleep today.

[@TheBlake3333]

I couldn't stay awake for the whole thing love. Thanks as always. Also happy birthday!

[@kea7119]

Amazing! Happy Bday too! ^-^

[@ad_astra_crimson]

Happy birthday mah man!

[@etzool]

Happy birthday, sir!

[@PetiteKero]

Just commenting to say this was my favourite run of the whole event. Just loved all the details you dropped. And I love this game in general, favourite RPG on the SNES.

[@aaronmmarty]

The time slot was rough for NA viewers but I'm glad to have seen you! Grats on the run and thank you for being a figure in the speedrun community. Makes me appreciate my favorite games more.

[@dizfoster]

One of the best og games with the best lore - damn I love sinistrals and capsule monsters - great run, took me a couple days to watch! Blown away though!

[@WastelandArcher]

love to see you at sgdq puwexil, thanks and nice!

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

I still cry at the end of this game erry time LOL thanks for posting the run - I couldn't tune in live

[@Tripii_]

An absolute OG of RPG speed running, always a treat to see Puxexil at a GDQ

[@josh34578]

I caught the first part of this live. Great to be able to watch the rest of it. Always worth watching a Puwexil run!

[@dtskd]

This was an awesome run! Happy Birthday Puwexil and thanks for all you do!!

[@DABiDo.O]

Hall of famer right here.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Yo, Puwexil still kickin' it strong! 💪😎✌️ Right on. And happy birthday + happy 4th of July! 💥🇱🇷💥

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

Puwexil is one of those guys who I'm always glad to see representing the Lufia 2 community. The guy is just amazing to see play, and super chill. Great run man! *edit* I'll never not be amused by the idea that Guy sees a tank and is so angry that he decides to headbutt it.

[@jamesascher8147]

hbd!

[@keshidan31]

Thanks for the entertaining run!

[@gmtwj-fye7898]

I love this game

[@MWBgq]

This is possibly my favourite game of all time. The speedruns for it are few and far between. Mechanically the game is incredible and the story line is fantastic. Lufia II was the first Lufia game released to the west and it's unfortunately overshadowed by the preexisting success of the Final Fantasy series.

[@vxb01]

Happy Birthday!

[@medigoomnis]

What an awesome birthday run! ...even if you mispronounce Amon and Daos :)

[@bboyblock3030]

Hapoy belated !!

[@Destiny4Travail]

happy b day !

[@atmosdwagon4656]

2:24:40 Eh...sorta but not really. The concept of Limit Break attacks does NOT originate with Lufia 2, but FF6 (which predates Lufia 2 by a year or so). Every character in FF6 has a unique, extra-powerful attack they can randomly perform when ordered to 'Fight' while at critical HP. FF7's limit breaks are the closest to Lufia 2's IP system. All other such systems differ from each other in significant ways. (FF8's limit breaks work like FF6's only with a much higher frequency, FFX's Overdrive has alternative charging methods, and FF9's Trance effects vary between characters)

[@Zylamos]

great job very fun stuffs

[@veghesther3204]

Foomy as Capsule monster is still pure CRAP keep Shaggy as yours it should be in its 3rd or 4th form by now by the time you reach the Ghost ship boss.

[@AttorneyGeneralGregStumbo]

I remember back when puwexil was the fucking main event aT GDQ. Now we are fucking lucky if we get to see puwexil or brosentia at all. PJ, Klaige who? I miss the 2010s GDQ era :(. You’re awesome Puwexil!!
