[@davewebster5120]

No it's not! Don't lie to me!

[@davidt3563]

Man, I remember getting the video tape that showed off Starfox 64 and the introduction of the Rumble Pack. The hype we felt as teenagers was amazing. This game will ALWAYS have a place in my heart, the sounds, the graphics and the levels are just timeless.

[@DonZenOfficial]

100% dude. Me and my big bro became legitimate junkies on this game

[@Paathar_Atma]

I maintain that SF64 is one of the best games ever made.

[@Kuchito08]

"Slippy's Dead!" "NICE!" Fucking got me with that reference lmao

[@adamX0315]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@davewebster5120]

I honestly believe that Starfox 64 video by terminal montage is my favorite youtube video of all time.

[@rommix0]

HIYAAAAAAAA!

[@YukaTakeuchiFan]

24:35 - It's 2024 right now. This game was made in 1997. How does this whole moment, 27 years later, remain so unbelievably satisfying to see every time it happens?

[@lilwyvern4]

I remember the first time I did that. When "HIT+50" popped up, I was almost as blown away as the station was.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

"NO. HIT THE BRAAAAAAAKES."

[@JonathanScarlet]

@@UltimaKeyMaster "I CAN'T STOP IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"

[@PhazonOmega]

Because the scene is so well executed, and performing the alternate ending was so difficult as a kid! It's burned into our brains as a moment of triumph!

[@PhazonOmega]

The commentary during Area 6 was EPIC! You could tell he really does love that stage! One of the best levels in any game after one of the best explosions in any game in one of THE best games of all time!

[@luckyfox2997]

20:40 "I'm Scottish and I'm not allowed to say the name of this stage" So annoyed I was unable to catch this live at 5 in the morning but good to know the whole team DIES for the high score

[@CastlyFTW]

This run was everything I've ever wanted to see in SF64 all culminated. Thank you so much Adamx and GDQ! So many hundreds of hours playing Lylatwars through my life and I was grinning ear to ear for the whole run ❤❤❤

[@adamX0315]

Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤

[@CheeseNacho_]

this game is my entire childhood and being able to watch a speedrun of it and realize how much love it gets still to this day warms my heart

[@Lance605]

I love playing this game when I was a kid. Good Job

[@ProperDev]

SF64 Speedrunning is one of those things that LOOKS easy until you do it. It's like "Well it's a rail shooter how much faster can you beat it anyway?" and then suddenly you're introduced to crazy tricks you've never seen before.

[@dstarr3]

"'They all live' was not an option" lmao

[@josemourato8979]

Dude Argick's vibe is absolutely electric, what a top level hype man for such an awesome run.

[@AaronMT]

This was a great run. This game is still so nostalgic to me.

[@CaptainPlayguy]

13:03 Hilarious to say "legally distinct" when Star Fox 64 had to be renamed "Lylat Wars" in some PAL territories because Nintendo thought it sounded too close to the German company StarVox

[@bananaempijama]

True. Here in Portugal, it was called Lylat Wars .

[@mmmben]

Geologist here, letting the wisecracks slide this time...

[@adamX0315]

I'm so sorry XD

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

You mean letting them landslide.

[@RunMan327]

That Area 6 run was a work of art.

[@ChatHistory]

love the "hello papa" terminalmontage reference

[@olhoTron]

25:20 funny how the tip of the barrel uses the same texture as the wheels... with rotation and everything

[@davidt3563]

There were so many low key good jokes made by everyone in this run. The 4/5 shadow, the Bill Smith, Macbeth, Luther Andross. Easily one of my favorite runs ever.

[@ImoowhenIPoo]

I loved this game as a kid and I still adore it to this day. No Star Fox game ever came close to this one.

[@iquemedia]

love this game so much

[@DrBjamin]

Thank you for this... since I was NEVER able to beat this game I never knew how it ended lol

[@Dr_Mel]

....oh BILL Smith! Jesus, I didn't see that all this time.

[@philkovach948]

I always thought it was for Bill Pullman who played the President

[@davestrides]

what an awesome run to watch. thanks so much to adam and the couch for the gameplay and commentary

[@SamLSkates]

What an awesome run and awesome group of guys! One of my favorite GDQ runs of all time, don't think I stopped smiling the whole time!

[@ImpmanPDX]

I used to work in horse racing. I know a race caller when I hear one.

[@mittensfastpaw]

A great run! Remember playing this game at Walmart demo stations as a kid. Some fun little memories.

[@bubba6553]

This took me 2 fake sick days as a kid to beat the real ending. Love to see it in 40 mins!

[@-Unguardian-]

Run into a problem, barrel roll. Run into your allies blocking your targets, do a barrel roll.

[@williamtweed9011]

"Location confirmed. Sending some pies."

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

"WHAT'S HE SAYING?"

[@HighFive212]

That was a lot of fun, great run. I forgot how much I loved this game.

[@bobspalding2477]

Oh hell yeah, I grew up on this game! Didn’t expect to see it ran here and I’m so excited

[@PriffyViole]

Funniest part is this route fights upgraded Star Wolf without fighting the regular versions. Meaning that their injuries are there for no reason.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

It's so funny that Star Wolf never bothers you in the Hard route until Venom.

[@jollygator9080]

Star fox 64 is still so impressive as a game

[@YBGucci]

this is probably one of the best games of all time

[@FlameDarkfire]

That WAS Star Wolf

[@Disembow1280]

Argick's shoutcast flow on Area 6 was worth the price of admission

[@michaelcarlton1484]

35:00 Pretty sure the marriage of brain surgery and rocket science is what created Kim Possible.

[@dannyt9744]

Epic comment

[@imChauy]

Man I love star fox 64. Used to playthrough it at least once every day after school when I was a kid. Awesome run!

[@Airlord3670]

I miss 35 minutes ago, when I thought I was pretty good at this game… excellent run :D

[@kaptenteo]

Fantastic energy from the runner! ❤

[@zkablam4121]

Dude was very good and had good stage presence

[@brandongross2628]

Great run! I have always wondered how many points were possible in this game. Now I know

[@michaelcarlton1484]

They cut away before General Pepper could comment on the score...

[@jamesmace1123]

"Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?"

[@andrewyesin4765]

Argick channeled his inner eminem for this one, sick job lads

[@adamX0315]

That was honestly so good 😂

[@vjspectron]

His Venom 1 commentary is as good as the best I've heard like this.

[@jeffkotuby]

31:51 Luther Andross ahahahahaha. I love this game so much. Great run boys.

[@GordonGordon]

I love this game. What a fun run!!!

[@Rasta8889]

34:50 What in Farscapes name is this boss fight oO

[@AndrewTaylorNintyuk]

I love this game! This is my Childhood favorite game.

[@MrMercSoldier]

I still love how Star Fox 64 absolutely ripped off the UFO battle from Independence Day

[@Imozart0341I]

Can not wait for this game for the eventual N64 mini

[@theperserker]

YOUUU'LL NEVER DEFEAAAT....AAAANDROOOOOOSSS

[@ohandanotheronebitesthedus6247]

Oh im playing this tonight 😂 well done man

[@alexsamaniego9061]

I loved this game.

[@davidkolman]

Great job!

[@sh4nkd4ddy]

Great run Adam. I remember you came into my twitch stream where I was trying to get 1738 hits for my "Fetty Wap" Challenge. Humbly admitting you were the high score world record holder at the time (This was awhile ago) but also hyping me up. Keep up the good work!

[@gabrielstar777]

14:51 freaking love that one Yee Haw the audience

[@aaronmehaffey6251]

Argick's commentary is almost more entertaining than the run itself XD

[@59hawks]

Find it ironic the level that slippy is normally supposed to crash land in is the level that hes the only one to be present at the end

[@RedRupee]

SF64 like I've never seen it played, and my friends and I played this A LOT. Think I'll have to try some high score runs, I remember being impressed when we broke 1400 and 1500 thinking we were top teir

[@brockh4422]

It's weird, SF64 is one of my favorite games and I've beat it so many times...but I've never paid attention to the story heh.

[@bbyjohn11]

Why doesn’t Nintendo make a star Fox rogue like ?

[@jakeylee.mp4]

Man I really want a new/remake starfox game, running on modern hardware would be sick

[@GanicoGSx]

Ah, and have the console's gimmick controls not forcefully be mandatory to use?

[@ProfessorRoach]

32 mins is so impressive

[@daniel2361-o1l]

"A title screen you might not recognize..." Pssh plebs... ;)

[@schonka2]

Can someone explain what is so sussy about Peppys return from Venom?

[@cootscoot238]

The fact that only Peppy returned from the mission and James allegedly died... the implication is that Peppy killed/betrayed James

[@adamX0315]

So Peppy went with James to try and defeat Andross. During the opening text explaining the story, they say “Peppy barely escaped Venom”. But there’s no description about how James died and whether Peppy played a factor in his death.

[@balloonxm]

you're a legend! such a great run with awesome commentary

[@analystduelist571]

I'm not sure I follow either. James, Peppy, and Pigma were the original team. Pigma sold them out. James died while Peppy got away. Fairly sure the manual and the Nintendo Guide say it. In game, Pigma's taunt of "Daddy screamed real good before he died" isn't just a taunt, but that he was there.

[@muirgenmonet]

It’s not sus exactly. Peppy Hare, Pigma Dengar, and James McCloud were the original members of the Star Fox team. But Pigma Dengar betrayed his compatriots to Andross and that is how Fox’s father died. Somehow Peppy managed to escape the trap or not fall into it. During the fights with Star Wolf in the game Pigma will specifically target Peppy.

[@alectrevelyan738]

Adam is PhD. He's extremely intelligent and one of the best players of Star Fox 64. What a great run. It was a pleasure

[@gregpl9363]

In corneria you can get an additional 2 points with the enemy that shoots slippy in the beginning. If you time your shot and aim for those mountains on the left the charges shot will explode and the enemy gets caught up in the shot before it enters the screen, giving you the extra points for that radius kill 💯💪 (you probably already 😏😂)

[@DavidSRJR]

I played this game so much as a kid but I have no memory of a tank/train section at all!

[@justanotherchris1451]

Impressive

[@farhansiddiqi1008]

..........the numbers....they don't align.....D:

[@Pelashi]

How come the area 6 score could go over 511 with the game capping the score?

[@adamX0315]

So I was playing on the 1.0 version of the game. In the 1.1 version (which is what the NSO version is) the game will stop counting up after 511.

[@badleech]

The score counter is capped at 511 in the PAL version as well as all NTSC Versions that were not bundled with the rumble pack originally. That includes the NTSC version sold as Players choice. Japanese version does not have the limit. NTSC with rumble pack also not. If you go over the limit, your end score however will get messed up. 256 Points will be removed from both your total score and the level you got over 511. However, the Ranking will still be in the right order, like the true Score. Even though the displayed score will be different.

[@CopShowGuy]

Hello, papá!

[@dirty56ace]

Even though I wasn't great at Star Fox or Star Fox64 they were still 1 of my favorite games to play.

[@coolguyfry293]

You’ll never defeat Andross!

[@chrisegg7936]

lol i didn’t even know you could get more than 4 bombs

[@Atylonisus]

B B B B B B B B B

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Zoness' boss very very quickly teaches you that in particular.

[@JonathanScarlet]

I really need to get the expert medals. And at least try to do score runs. And get the Venom Medal on Easy.

[@LocoSunny]

Better than the last Star Wars film's

[@IncompetentPlayer]

Argick is the winner on this run

[@Hdx64]

You are becoming more like your father... So yeah my father killed slippy too, no wonder

[@MikahHolliday]

"kill the animals"

[@angel3067]

Ningun Star Fox consiguio superar al original de super famicom.

[@hugoalmanza7615]

Why do gamers say Hype?

[@rustyirish7904]

I ove that they have everyone's pronouns bye their names 🥰

[@williamfrederickson1702]

The more runners say the word "cutscene", the more i'm convinced they have no idea what that word actually means.

[@adamX0315]

In the moment, words are hard 😂😂😂

[@SeanCMonahan]

Semantic satiation. Semantic satiation. Semantic satiation.

[@NFITC1]

To a speed runner a cutscene is any time you don't move the game progression along. Loading screens are exempt because they are loading the next area.

[@Alexander_Grant]

@@adamX0315 Most people watching knew what you meant. Public speaking is hard, much less doing it to that amount of people and while speedrunning. Great run!

[@DarkonFullPower]

In a video game sense, it is any moment where the player cannot interact with the game.
