Superman 64 by headstrong1290 in

[@molybdenumrose]

fantastic couch. I love it when a knowledgeable couch leads the talking and leaves the runner to focus on gameplay. Leads to a better overall experience

[@jackkingsby116]

That is the best case scenario for any speedrun

It's a pretty famous bad game, to be fair.

I seriously thought Superman 64 was just flying through rings.

[@glitzy5214]

Nice

[@joshuaprouty8139]

Same here😂

[@NegativeDumpster]

Honestly, I don't blame you.

[@magnusvir117]

😢 me too it was worse than that!😊

[@nickgamer2693]

I thought so. I saw AVGN play “Superman 64” in both 2008 and 2019. Hopefully, this would make him revisit the game one more time.

[@KwijGaming]

This game sucked so hard that it's achieved longevity. Pretty impressive when you think about it

[@AveMcree]

The Nintendo 64 had a few turds. When I worked at funcoland. Superman 64 was the funniest game to recommend. We all knew it was trash but watching people play it was entertaining af!😂😂😂😂

[@broexist7134]

@@ElMarcoHoJ such bullshit though.. ET was great

[@qwallace4832]

No. Just makes you think why do people still not have a legendary Superman Video game.

[@Rpgesusgoingin]

People love Superman 64

[@orvilleredenpiller338]

That is the hypest hype couch imaginable for the single worst game ever.

[@GAMEOVER-hy6xs]

Walls in this game just seem to be more of a suggestion than something that you actually have to abide by

[@FNBYNNTND]

This is nothing. There exist games where walls are more than just suggestions - they're elevators.

[@Henbeim]

*cough* Metroid *cough*

[@grammaticalrouge29]

Pretty much how walls would be for the actual Superman so at least they got that right.

[@loosekanen]

...but I came here for an hour of rings

[@brianshaw3903]

I'm confused how she skipped them

[@dust_ee]

@@brianshaw3903 she played on easy, and there are no rings on easy

[@Stormshine]

i was here live for this, and i rewatched it, and it's still SO GOOD. the couch and runner are all fantastic, it's a hilarious run, it's just... so good

[@tedparsons3940]

...Oh, I see what's going on with the compass. It's pointing relative to *it's* position, not Superman's. So like, it would work perfectly fine if it were in the middle of the screen.

[@schwarz7670]

OMG someone actually went through the hell of running SuperMan64

[@MultiDante333]

Even worse, someone went as far as to LEARN everything in this game, then replay it multiple times to optimise the run. True AGDQ MVP here

[@Reiderreiter]

There’s a lot of hilarious moments from this run but the pure, venomous salt from authorblues at 45:45 always makes me cackle with laughter.

[@ThaRixer]

Headstrong is heckin cool and wouldnt hurt a fly. I loved this run from the crowd point of view

[@isaacthered]

The one thing every terrible game has in common is that you can never have too many rings.

[@mattiviljanen8109]

I'm watching this in 1080p and I really don't know why.

[@vectro4284]

Because you’re not watching it in 720p.

[@Obsidian451]

This is the first time I've ever watched Superman 64 played through in its entirety from start to finish (albeit on Easy mode), and this is the best possible way I could have seen it. Great run from Headstrong, hilarious couch, and awesome crowd! Even the donations were amazing. (also, 37:07 is one of the funniest things I've ever seen at AGDQ, that was brilliant).

[@JasperTheFish494]

52:13 that kid's a future speedrunner, trust me

[@mcj88]

36:37 - Y'know, if this was a better game I'd probably give the devs credit for trying to handwave technical limitations as being part of the game's plot and lore like that, but alas, here we are... :P

[@latrodectusmactans7592]

Grab RNG I can't even

[@Nicholas_Steel]

The compass was on point. It pointed directly at the Superman logo. It isn't pointing relative to your characters location on the screen, it's pointing relative to its own location on the screen. If the compass points at the logo than it is in that direction relative to the position of the compass.

[@jcdias6951]

Wow I bow at this greatness. I only managed 5 min before I had enough.

[@juneglave5014]

This is the kind of quality I've come to expect from GDQ. I love it!

[@kerplop]

In the immortal words of the dark shadows: "AWK!"

[@psychedeliccarrie5921]

One of the few games where you actually have to speedrun to beat it.

[@deardeer1469]

this and sonic 06 come to mind

[@katzenfett9444]

The real achievement is not just the speed, but the fact, that someone actually finished this game. I was honestly surprised that they even cared to implement more than two levels …

[@testingattthing]

Difficulty modes with rings really add an hour to a speedrun of this? That's impressive. I wonder if there's any skips for them.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

There is, first you choose Easy difficulty on the main menu and then you play the game. Tadah you skipped them!

[@Egalia_1]

Awesome run! I've heard the horror stories but this really was a crazy game, as for the runner she did great!

[@waffleweave]

Yes she did. Such a horrifying game.

[@IvyLeather13]

37:04 gets me every single time. Lmao

[@florbz5821]

This game is a meme in itself! So glad it's being run!

[@fugazicoverband]

Great run, great couch. Thank you!

[@Forever_Zero]

In this video we can truly appreciate how stupidly unplayable is this garbage game

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

The runner is so charming and the couch was great all the way through

[@allydrawsthings]

im at 35:30 which is about 29 more minutes than i ever put into this game. props headstrong! how does someone even decide they wanna be really really good at this piece of shit game???

[@KeriSqueak]

40:30 Can we get a round of applause for the sub-heroes who keep things like those shards of glass from ruining people below? What do you mean "there aren't any?" Then who does it?! ...Oh. Whoops.

[@generfeld]

great playing, and respect for figuring out all the clips and shortcuts and glitches. the flying parts has a certain old school end of middle school nostalgia with the blocky 3D polygons

[@MrJechgo]

Y'know, this is something I will never get: Superman never got a decent game aside from the Lego games and the Injustice games.

[@Krokodilius]

I remembering hearing 3-4 years ago that a montreal studio was working on one a lot like the arkham series but...never a peep since.

[@katelynuwu]

Was this really world record?! if thats the case then NICE

[@nogidoki3325]

The more awful and broken the game is the less speedrunners want to try that and this one is................Calling it broken is a compliment.

[@richardjoyce2764]

Headstrong looked timid during this run, it was hella cute! She did a wonderful job!

[@theamazingpip]

This game it's so bad that it's legendary, and it's so legendary that it ends up being a terribly good game. Somehow i love this game

[@XaneMyers]

37:10 Isn't this supposed to be a *speed* run? Ah, there we go.

[@EGarrett01]

37:28 Remember while you watch this, this is the speedrun. This is OPTIMAL play for this game.

Good quality entertainment, hard glitchy af game, and a solid run! Yet, all some judgemental people can concentrate on is the runner. Bet she would kick your ass at many games! Well done Headstrong!!!

loved this so much, and the couches commentary is fantastic

[@CoTeCiOtm]

I can't believe someone actually took the time to master this game. I played it back in the day, I handled it for like 15 minutes and returned it to Blockbuster immediately (thankfully I didn't buy it!) and swore to never play it again.

[@zule10000]

Isn't Darkseid pronounced "Dark Side" and not "Dark Seed"? Or do I have a misconception?

[@Okusar]

Yeah, it's supposed to be pronounced like "dark side", unless the last 30 years worth of DC animation have all said it wrong.

[@_NoDrinkTheBleach]

Fantastic.

[@monotonedmika17]

was disappointed when they said there were no ring segments, but still good run nonetheless.

[@MrFathead]

Me too that is a big part of the game.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

There was 1 Ring segment, involving exactly 1 Ring.

[@Teddeck]

Superman! Faster than a speeding... camera?

[@wierdtromebonekid]

Awww no rings

[@XaneMyers]

I'm glad to see the infamous rings can be skipped! Any video I watched of this game years ago implied you had to go through them.

[@darkspin3000]

Xane Myers well the reason was because it was a hidden easy mode to this game, which was kept hidden till a LPer decided to give this information about this mode out to the public, during one of his episodes of superman 64.

[@EmeraldLavigne]

It's shocking to me that people have beaten this twice in a row to discover the camera glitch...

werent there supposed to exist some rings in these levels and superman had to go through them?

Yes, but the run was on Easy mode, which doesn't have any rings. The rings are on every other difficulty.
