Kaysler did you read the title

[@Kaysler]

David Bob apparently not well...

[@oneistheloneliestnumber7026]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!”

[@MyrtleGlacy]

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

[@superj1e2z6]

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

[@leopold621]

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

[@SaxcatGamingCorner]

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

[@csmurph2000]

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

[@lucasparis7284]

If you are looking for the moments they are at 19:35 and 56:55

[@killer51]

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.

[@pedropou888]

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

[@MxMaker]

This GDQ game will be always in our hearts.

[@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 :-))

[@JoelBurger]

Makes millions of dollars for charity each year, can't afford a table to put consoles on.

[@JackFroster]

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

[@mnelsoncool]

I'm really happy I decided to watch this. Easily my favorite race ever

[@ErgoComix]

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!

[@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

[@oofmydude8173]

What an emotional rollercoaster.

[@mpixel2058]

Such a hot category!

[@Fiona1020_]

I was really hoping for Poo and Mitch to hug at the end, FeelsBadMan

[@srcocomad]

We love you Poo.

[@jgfence123]

wow, my two faviorte 2-d focused Mario runners (wow I had to make that really specific but I watch a lot of runs!) duking it out! should be an amazing race!

[@FourthDerivative]

I just want to give Poo a big hug after this

[@chrisoneal2718]

Can someone please explain what marbles marbles marbles means? I’ve heard it on several gaming videos now

[@youssefl.7574]

Is that the biggest night of your career, Poo ?

[@CeilingPanda]

I wonder how the GDQ think about this one, I feel like both people watching and the crowd had a blast, I hope the issues doesn't affect them coming back etc.

[@AlefSousa017]

Why the games look so different from one another? Is it because of the TVs they're using, or maybe the consoles? Or is it something else?

[@MatthijsvanDuin]

I was also wondering about that difference in tint. While different NTSC TVs do tend to show slightly different colors, that doesn't explain why it's looking different in the live stream. Maybe different capture cards? I dunno

[@ArtoPekkanen]

The NES on the left is probably RGB modded.

[@ChiefSmackahoLLC]

@Alef Sousa One system has been modded for LCD and likely outputs adjusted RGB (it was mentioned in a different context that Mitch had a tough time hitting certain glitches due to his typical LCD display vs. the CRT presentation at the event) and vanilla NES hardware does not have native LCD/RGB outputs. edit: another possible contributing factor is different source video capture hardware and/or poor calibration. But I don't know what GDQ uses specifically.

[@rileyalexander4561]

Everything is different from RNG to colors

[@firefine511]

Don't saw the run in the marathon. But this one... Wow. Mitchflowerpower and Grandpoobear are both great and just press f for Poo nice Team-player!

[@Cheftimusprime]

Poo is too pure.

[@Dr.SamCarterPhD]

Best. Run. Ever.

[@GigginQuick]

SPOILERS Since Mitch’s game console crashed twice, maybe the rematch should be done on an emulator? Would the race still be valid?

[@boardrfolif3]

j_spark I'd bet these 2 stand up guys do a rematch on stream in the near future. Even better if they bring it back in a few months for agdq

[@nujuat]

Maybe on NES classic minis?

[@chandy518]

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

[@Axel-wo6qu]

1:03:00 this must be what it's like for peach to wait for Mario. Waiting in a dark room.

[@856Lavalamp]

That poo stomp was brilliant. Lol.

[@highestsettings]

You have to respect how upset grandpoobear was when that crash happened. Wish he would have got over it though. Ruined the atmosphere a little. It is what it is man. It's a shame, but he waited and they changed what needed to be changed to compensate. Now the second time? I just feel really bad for him. Seems like such a nice guy and like he just wanted this to be the great run it could have been. It was still entertaining.

[@jordonbrewer1231]

Did that sound guy bow before he left? 1:42

[@Jacob-ml5bp]

im confused what the big deal is with these issues. is poobears mistakes costing mitch? and if so, how so?

[@RepressedButton]

Poo messed up and stomped the ground and it crashed Mitch’s game

[@DrDirtyLeggz]

*Spoilers* What was MitchFP using to have that happen to him Twice?

[@Charronia]

9:37 I think that could be applied to a lot of the silly conditions people attach to donations.

[@felixd8665]

at 38:00 he said boom-boom instead of hammer bros.

[@CommanderCH]

Oh god... That's all I can say.

[@coconyt3623]

He never did kick the console... the first time he stomped the floor several feet away and the second time he merely dropped his controller... Mitch's NES is the culprit here... way too prone to freezing from the slightest vibrations.

[@HackThePlanetNow]

Poo kept apologizing. Was it actually his fault?

[@TompaA]

Some older systems are very sensitive, at both scenarios when the game reset, Poo stomped hard with his foot in the ground, which was enough for the unstable system.

[@Mucrush]

Those cartridges just cannot handle a few stomps... :(

[@ajthem554]

Only good thing with fort in the name

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.

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

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

Or half year, next is AGDQ 2019

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

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

"what a bunch of troopers!"

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!"

[@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.

[@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.

[@AWalYT]

This run is just too wholesome.

[@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.

[@TheCooterpuppet]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@Bro3256Films]

Probably should have tested Mich's console before the run. Lol

[@swahilimaster]

It was poo stomping that caused it both times, hence all the apology

[@OriginalPiMan]

Poo barely moved for the second crash. If the console can't handle that then the console shouldn't be used at a big event like this. Obviously Poo's console didn't have the same issue. Perhaps if the consoles were placed on a slightly bump resistant surface, although I can't think of anything more suitable than a simple solid table without getting excessively fancy (like shock absorbers).

[@Zalied]

the stomping caused the first one. The second one was the control throw thow im not sure how it caused it tho the game coulda still been loose from the crash 1. the problem is the controller length is notoriously short so they cant put the consoles in a safer location

[@manusdexter7250]

OriginalPiMan well said and completely true. Even though this made for a great event, it should not have happened.

[@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. 😂

[@WoidSnowGlacier]

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

[@damianoguarneri567]

Best speedrun event ever.

[@Grohlvana]

Poo should have just let Mitch finish the game on his side, that would have been awesome and would have made for the best ending to a run.

[@chrisoneal2718]

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

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.

Wait, why did they go into the pipe in 6-5? Can't you just fly over the ice to the end of the level with the P-Wing?

[@MartyThun]

Whats going o , is Poo kicking his nes or what? :p

[@mncdssctn9110]

Nah, first time he stomped his foot and the second one he dropped his controller on the floor, but it was enough to make Mitch’s NES glitch out. Unfortunate but it can happen with old hardware.

[@JosephHalder]

I believe that you believe this... I don't want to ruin your day and call you out. It's just not possible that this happened, Poo doesn't even have legs.

[@MartyThun]

Lol, next time they need to have the nes' suspended in bungy chords or some gyro thing keeping it steady :D
