SGDQ 2024 - Runner Profile Interview with puwexil

Fun interview I did with spikevegeta on my history with RPG speedrunning, done during Summer Games Done Quick 2024 in Minneapolis, MN.

[@RetroNook]

I really enjoy Puwexil's Final Fantasy 6 runs, seen them multiple of times.

[@pikaporeon]

The first speedrun I ever watched live was SC2 at GDQ2013, and my second was you two running FF9 and I've been hooked since.

I need to attend a GDQ live, looks like such a chill time. As a lifelong JRPG fan, you inspired me to try speed running and it’s been some of the most fun I’ve had gaming in years, so thanks brother and happy belated birthday - great job on the Lufia II run!

[@elchucko7]

I was (what I consider) late getting into watching GDQ, starting with SGDQ 2018. Your show closing run of FF6 100% Glitchless is still one of my favorite to this day. Between that and the Chrono Trigger run in 2019, I was hooked forever (they're also two of my favorite Yetee shirts haha). I didn't have a chance to watch Lufia II from this week yet, but that's my plan for Saturday afternoon. Stay amazing, stay humble, you make it look easy.

Hey man, I am a big fan of all of your runs. Happy birthday. Question-do you ever plan on finishing Brainlord? Or even running it?

[@mr11701]

Puwexil really is one of the greats for RPG speed running, truly awesome to get to see him work his magic on so many of my favorite titles. Thanks for sharing your talents, Puwexil!

[@medigoomnis]

I've loved these two for so long lol...I miss seeing more of Essentia and Brossentia and a few others, but I know life doesn't revolve around speedrunning for most :)

[@CosmoRetroGaming]

You are the best, Puwexil! Loved your runs!

[@ad_astra_crimson]

Best speed run from you (imo) is the Chrono Trigger one from SGDQ 2015! Looking forward for another chrono trigger run from you

[@zacharyeicher390]

Glad to see puwexil and spikevegeta are doing well!

[@TheSpyder]

I'm glad you posted this, I missed it live and the vods no longer include them!

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Puwexil, your speedrun of Chronotrigger was beyond impressive. I've no idea how anyone could keep every moment of gameplay so streamlined when it's an entirely live event. I mean, that game is NOT like playing TLoZ1-3 through, nor even like CV SotN. 😳 Same with things like Lufia, Robotrek, Seiken Densetsu, etc. Great work.

[@KyleSzklenski]

The $3M Chrono Trigger run was unquestionably the best at any GDQ ever.

[@lukasneo91]

Its always awesome seeing you in GDQ events!

[@TreesPlease42]

Thoroughly enjoy GDQ. The classic era holds a special place in my heart of hearts 😊

[@codar1937]

Keep growing your legacy!

[@BenWeeks1984]

love puwexil, love spike vegeta!

[@Jackpot00]

Two legends

[@Pixel_T1990]

Both are legends!

[@arisrayden]

the puwexil spike ff9 agdq speedrun fromw hat was it.... 2013 was the run that geniuenly made me curious about doing some speedruning... not ff9 though goodness no but their run and commentary was amazing

[@josh34578]

That shirt is great. Chrono Trigger crossover with Kingdom Hearts.

[@MaxaMillion711]

Been a fan since you both did the FF9 speedrun 🫡
