If this is such a """"hot"""" category, where is the """"hot"""" pockets?

[@dabonthemhaters8013]

you forgot when poo GrandPOOBear crashes MitchFlowerPower console for the first time and then the second time

[@GameWinner5]

Aww Poo's voice was trembling when he said "he's gonna do the wrongwarp" at 1:01:04 he felt so bad. Poor guy must have felt so embarrassed. Unreal sportsmanship from both of them though like this is probably the best outcome you could have had. Mad respect for both the runners

[@jernejfric4810]

I came here only to see Poo manipulate RNG by kicking the console

[@WolfNightSoul]

LMAO

[@MrYoYoBoBoChaddyInsaneZhangII]

Jernej Fric I just love how it’s become a joke now, “poo uses super kick!”

[@stayfocused6481]

It’s so unfortunate that the run got messed up, but as a result the sportsmanship they both demonstrated made this my favorite run of the whole SGDQ.

[@JAWS1376]

I was going to reply, but this says it all!

[@MrYoYoBoBoChaddyInsaneZhangII]

Props to GDQ for giving poo holographic legs that have collision physics

[@umbaupause]

Poo used earthquake! It's super effective! NES fainted. (I guess the NES is electric type~)

[@MrYoYoBoBoChaddyInsaneZhangII]

umbaupause Lol

[@venescas593]

That ending was simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking! Here's to a rematch next year.

Or half year, next is AGDQ 2019

[@venescas593]

Unfortunately, I heard Grandpoobear's not going to be at AGDQ next year; he's expecting a child.

[@EqualsDeath]

when are you supposed to make a baby? in your 40s?

[@EdwardMichael3]

he's speedrunning bebe making

[@hsadreamerofrlyeh7516]

This will go down as one of the best and most eventful races ever.

[@honestinsincerity2270]

Exactly. Weird how a faulty console can be behind one of the most memorable GDQ races ever. And I'm sure poo generally felt bad but he shouldn't have. He made GDQ history.

[@koYyn]

@@honestinsincerity2270 man i felt so sorry for him . That habit to stomp or do smth like that . You can't surpress such behavior so easily . That was such an awkward moment . He felt so bad about it but it was still entertaining . Kinda hard to watch but rly enjoyable on the other hand . So weird 😄

[@hsadreamerofrlyeh7516]

2 years later I was honestly looking forward to Mitch beating Bowser with the hammer suit and forgot about the second stomp.

[@GC-ps9mn]

Some of my favorite races from GDQ are the goofy ones. Like the Sonic 1 run where the runner keeps resetting the console and the mirrors edge "glitchless" run lol. And of course this run now. I think part of what makes GDQ so enjoyable (at least to me) is that speed running is usually really competitive and the runners are always going for a PB if not a WR. Whereas at GDQ they're there just to have fun with the community and show off some cool strats.

lmao luckily you're the first comment I saw when I scrolled down

[@smoothSnake23]

devmas so I shouldn't have read this comment either?

That was the only comment i read. Thenk you for the heads up.

[@AWalYT]

This run is just too wholesome.

[@sayantrigamer]

it is mario 3. you have to play 3 times. it is the new rule

[@MyrtleGlacy]

That was a rollercoaster from start to finish. Great sportsmanship from both players, they were obviously having a lot of fun :)

[@bluesideking]

Respect to both of the players. I'm very sorry for mitch, but I'm happy that he took it with humor. Hope I will see them next time again.

[@superj1e2z6]

I want to see SMB3 All Forts Legless at AGDQ. Don't worry poo, it was all fun.

[@MahDryBread]

I love how good of sports these guys were about the technical issues. I wonder if GDQ would consider using some kind of custom hardware to make it more stable next time. Maybe some kind of fan re-built system that's more stable. Or even a toploader NES, I've heard those are much better about not glitching out when moved.

[@TheCheat420]

Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! They just need to keep the NES away from Poo's legs haha.

[@Telruin]

@Matt Snyder What legs?

[@TheCheat420]

You're right, Poo Bear has metal stumps like Star Fox that's what caused the shock wave that froze Mitch's console.

[@danielleanderson6371]

What's the plural way to say "what a guy"? Because the sportsmanship from both players was unreal.

[@diosilos]

I'll go with "what two guys" !

[@LunaticPilgrim]

"what a bunch of troopers!"

[@diosilos]

Lemphek they sure STORMED through that game ! ... c- cause storm troopers, s- see what I did there ?... hahah

[@LunaticPilgrim]

I need a shower now

[@MrCab55]

"These guys!"

[@Marc-pu1wm]

This is legit like the Pay-Per-View Grand Finale of GDQ. These guys are probably my 2 favorite runners, the conversation and jokes make the show fantastic!! I could feel Poo's heart break...ouch!! Mitch is always a great sport too, I'd never expect anything less. You guys deserve your own TV show!! Thanks for the awesome run!!

[@chrisoneal2718]

It was funny how after the second crash someone says “We’ve got a problem” - what an understatement!

[@toadfart9504]

Runs like this are whi I think SGDQ '18 has been the best GDQ in a long time. Huge props for Poo and Mitch making the most of a bad situation, and I can't wait to see the rematch.

[@pcjabber]

It's so amazing to see how distraught Poo is over the mishap, and how cool Mitch stays under the pressure of the situation. Both are awesome guys with remarkable gamesmanship & attitudes!

[@adriannebee2056]

Rewatching this made me realize Mitch's NES was going to crash no matter what. That kind of lag in a not very graphic intense screen tells me it was not happy being played. This was such a good race to watch live and is still good years later as a VOD. Props to both of them for their efforts and sportsmanship.

[@TheConpletionist]

Thank you for the uploads, still trying to cope with the event being over ;-;

[@lightninglouis]

Crippling Anxiety Same here bud. But we'll all see each other in 6 months at agdq 2019.

[@WolfNightSoul]

Just the best and most fun runs I've ever witnessed on GDQ. I never laughed so hard on a run such as this one lmao. Congratulations guys, and don't worry Poo, we know it wasn't on purpose, and it was too funny!

[@honestinsincerity2270]

It's weird how a technical issue can make the most memorable moment of the entire event. I know it musta been bad when it was happening, but if anything Poo should not have felt bad for GDQ or the crowd. The way they handled it made this the thing everyone will try to live up to for the next 10 GDQs. And I'm sure it cranked the donation flow up to full blast. If I were GDQ I'd not only be praising these guys but hoping to God that at least one console an event is that fragile.

[@pedropou888]

Enjoyed so much both the run and sportmanship from this guys, can't wait to catch the next GDQ and support

[@SaxcatGamingCorner]

The craziness with the run make it one of the best I've watched.

[@GamerGuy249]

I think this is the gold standard of games done quick. Good commentary, good donation reader, good runs, sportsmanship, and just everyone having fun.

[@leopold621]

it was so sweet of poo to stop and wait up for mitch when his game froze. true sportsmanship man

[@DivisibleByWaffle]

Somebody needs to clean those NESes and get them off the floor! The console's gotten so old and delicate that you need to take care of them so this kind of thing doesn't happen.

[@MrHatAndClogs1990]

This event was great! Even games I never even heard of I found myself watching and being amazed at what I was seeing. Can’t wait till next year.

[@jm860421]

AMAZING RUN! so fun and the sportsmanship, great showing of mitch and poo!

[@damianoguarneri567]

Best speedrun event ever.

[@Bakamoichigei]

I swear, every time I start watching this, I'm like "I don't remember this at all... Have I seen this?" Then we get to The Stomp, and I go "Ohhhhh, THIS ONE. This is gonna be good!" and strap in for the ride. 😂

[@csmurph2000]

I feel so bad for Poo, poor guy felt so bad.

[@MxMaker]

This GDQ game will be always in our hearts.

[@SaxcatGamingCorner]

This was a great example of sportsmanship. Would love to see more people like that. Bravo.

[@jenzo94]

I really look forward to these SMB runs every GDQ! Great games but oh, so great runners!

[@chriskelly5823]

I've watched this more times than any other run, so SO entertaining

[@mrscheng8249]

Found this massively entertaining! With all the ups and downs

Amazing fun - great runners - awesome time even long after the fact. Thanks all for the great time.

Very nice to see that sportsmanship! Sadly you couldn't make it, but watching was awesome though.

Im a casual GDQ watcher, but these two guys are the only runnera I actually look up every event, they are so chill and such nice guys, its just so nice to see them.

[@Letonintendo]

This whole thing was so dramatic from start to finish, this was the highlight of GDQ for me

[@Rob1UPTay]

This was such a crazy run against each other and it was so awesome

[@TheCooterpuppet]

Rematch at GDQE in October? Poo must wear Hammer Bros suit entire run

[@ahmadalturk9127]

Cant stop watching this run till today :)

[@JackFroster]

The most wholesome of runs. Mitch and Poo and like the real life Mario Bros.

[@SuperJustinChannel]

Excellent sportsmanship everywhere.

[@markschroder4523]

Why do you still put the consoles there? This already happened once before during the Link to the Past run about 1 year ago

[@DaxSchaffer]

canebro1 I think the comment is referring to the physical location of the consoles, not a question of why they use them.

[@markschroder4523]

exactly, their placement. This is not the first time that someone by accident causes a crash during a race of all things

[@lz7ification]

They should start using NES classic instead of the old NES.

[@bbluewi4017]

2 reasons: 1) Controller cords only stretch so far, and I don't know if extenders introduce lag. 2) GDQ isn't the greatest with setups.

[@28Pluto]

Buy a coffee table from Ikea.... Problem solved, no more resets from people stamping feet.

[@bensam4518]

one hell of a great run guys!

[@oofmydude8173]

What an emotional rollercoaster.

[@SuperLumipallo]

This run is "in-the-nutshell" what GDQ is all about. ^_^ Sportmanship, caring, rooting and GAMING!!!

[@KyuuTomoyaki]

Props to Mitch and POOBear for their great sportsmanship here! I wish more gamers were like this!

[@MikeCantGame]

I felt so bad for GrandPOOBear...He has come a long way...the way you played that was amazing bro...just another reason why I am such a big fan!

[@iAmCyberwaste]

WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND A REMATCH!

[@nobetternickname]

huge props to mitch for coping with all the diverse problems and making that a truly entertaining run!!!! easily one of the best moments of sgdq18. not poo's fault, he is still getting used to his new false legs :-))

[@Polymathically]

19:33 I live tweeted it at the time, and I'll say it again here: That has to be the defining moment of #SGDQ2018. Bravo to both of you guys!

[@mpixel2058]

Such a hot category!

[@Agk3los]

I'm actually really glad the one dude waited after the crash. Classy move and it honestly kept the race fun.

[@corby789]

Great race. Even greater sportsmanship. Damn shame about the crashes.

[@RockRedGenesis]

That is some cool sportsmanship by both guys. Remember, A race is no fun on your own!

[@alexcrossland2329]

Despite everything going tits up this is still one of my favourite runs ever. Just great banter great audience and great fun

[@olliezoop]

Who's ultimately at fault here? I realize that GPB was the one who stomped and jiggled the NES which caused the initial crash, but that shouldn't normally happen so easily. Did the carts not get checked well enough prior to the actual race? Can this be prevented in the future? In any case, watching this live was quite a trip, special props to Mitch in particular for being so able to mentally recover and remembering that "the show must go on", as they say

[@ManoloRibera070]

Ollie Zoop yes by placing them on a table

[@DarkerDuelist]

The first one was Poo, it really doesn't take a lot to screw with these old cart based systems. Even back in the late 90s this would happen to my snes and n64 when me and my siblings got hyped up. The 2nd and 3rd ones were probably a symptom of a cart that was just loose enough to cause an issue or just an old console, which to be fair the nes is 30+ years old. Unfortunate that it happened but a good race none the less.

[@toadfart9504]

Ultimately it's probably the nature of live events with tight schedules and running on 30 year old hardware. I believe it was briefly mentioned in the post run interview that mitch's nes was having issues before the run, but I guess they either decided it was good enough to use or couldn't swap it out due to lack of time or spares. GDQ has a habit of not being the most well managed event when it comes to proper setup though, which I'm sure helps contribute to issues like this.

[@MrPandarilla]

The game crashed when poo stood up, not when he stomped, I want to say it was a random crash at an inopportune time

[@ErinTheNerd]

I couldn't figure out why poo was so upset. I didn't realize that it was his stomping/standing that causes the crash, now it all makes sense. Props to Mitch for being such a good sport, and keeping it lighthearted

[@Zelinkokitsune]

That sportsmanship

The entire speedrunning community is great, BUT Mitchflowerpower, GrandPooBear and Skybil for commentary is my favorite combination of personalities in the entire scene. Love this video and Mitch's run of Gand Poo World 2!

[@srcocomad]

We love you Poo.

[@nosenseofhumor1]

Yo poo, that was a tough day man. Let me say this though, kicking Mitch’s box off twice did not in any way reduce the entertainment value of this race. You guys are super funny together and really impressive runners.

Poo stopping for mitch was so sweet. It's what makes me love this community

Seems like hammer bro is rarely a bro. Very enjoyable run' good commentary :)

[@cbIIII]

that was fun!:D

[@xXNigesXx]

The biggest night of his career.

[@Wyliman]

Seems it was mostly Mitch's console and not only Poo's stomping, Mitch even mentions at 21:05 "funny how mine froze and yours didn't". In the 3 crashes (granted by the 3rd Poo was done) it was only Mitch's console that died. Still, super cool race and their sportsmanship and kindness to each other made it even better!
