[@cahallo5964]

Cool event and all but how does this affect the quality of your ICarly 2 speedrun?

[@EZScape]

A lot tbh. Couldn't stream today getting this video up:(

[@2012Jemh]

*Sad spaghetti tacos noises*

[@rybertrion3642]

Noooooooo

[@LocalMaple]

EZScape Will the next speedrun be Jonas Brothers on the DS, milking it for as many “Glad Jonas” puns as you can?

[@Jowgenz]

"Your bounty begins tomorrow, at the crack of noon."

[@OfficialJab]

Feel like the handcam should be mandatory. Especially with such a big bounty - they're exciting but will make cheaters crawl out.

[@beardalaxy]

It does have to be on a livestream too, so to make it believable they would have to also cheat many runs that WOULDN'T win and have them play back to back alongside the real one.

[@GarFierield]

JS, there's built in "cheater protection" because realistically only about 15 people are capable of getting a 1:38 (at least one of the next 5 1:38s) and that's being generous to a few runners lol. If someone else randomly was like "oh wow I just suddenly came into the scene and I got a 1:38" it would be checked soooooooooooo vigorously. Someone running the contest would obviously never say something like this but people who follow the game know it's true

[@liamfairbrother6324]

Gar Fierield couldn’t agree more. For people who don’t follow the game I truly believe the optimisation of this run, and the breadth of in game mechanical knowledge associated with a long run like this can be lost on people. It would be truly comparable to some unknown dude 1v1ing LeBron and actually sinking buckets. Theoretically possible but the chances ? That being said those people who are actually in the race have now got a very good reason to pull a shady, albeit I think quite unlikely.

[@SoldierOfTwilight]

@@GarFierield The thing is, checking people vigurously wastes time of a lot of people which could have been prevented by simply demanding a mandatory handcam.

[@GarFierield]

@@SoldierOfTwilight even if the cheater has one they're still going to be rigorously checked because it's something the community prefers to do when people come out of no where, not just for the bounty, but for having times on the leaderboard. There's runners who have done 1000s of attempts for this category who don't even have a 1:38 sum of best, it's not a time just anyone can casually get

[@adrianmunthe9654]

Just unreal to see how the community comes together to create such a big Speedrun Bounty, proud of us

[@AS34N]

2 people and a legitimate company came together to create the large bounty...the community didnt come together to "create" a single thing

[@Fs3i]

@@AS34N That's an overly negative view - it is to an extent the community. This community had already proven that it will spend money in the name of speedrunning, and it's been proven that they support competition, so I am 100% certain that the $4k would have come together either way. Heck, I've thought about donating $20 or so myself at the end of 2019, and I'm by far not the only one...

[@MidnightPausch]

unreal to see a community come together to give money to only like 3 speedrunners.

[@zeelyweely1590]

@@MidnightPausch It's a competition, they wouldn't give money to random people.

[@lajeandom]

@@AS34N but you forget that the main reason that made this competition possible in the first place it's because of the strong speedrunning community, without it, there wouldn't even be a competition like that one... therefore, yes, what Adrian said is correct, the community came together and created (perhaps indirectly) this speedrun bounty! :)

[@FramedYT]

This is amazing; cant wait to watch this all unfold!

I dont know man, the 0 A press technics can be a lot harder than the 120 speedrun are, am more excited for the ABC trials than the 120 speedrun, since theres so much content about that :v

SHOUTOUTS TO THE EDITOR

[@doopman512]

That editing was FANTASTIC! In the best way possible, it felt like I was watching a cheesy 90s "we're cool!" ad for Super Mario 64 and I really really love that!!!!

[@heartboy0]

Actually one of the sickest videos Ive seen in awhile. Very cool across the board. Thanks for organising, thanks for everyone putting up the money and lastly thank you to the dedicated community who continues to run these great games.

[@r0b0hobo]

Cheese just got it at ESA

[@DSR115]

When a community gets together to do things like this in gaming truly warms the heart. Can't wait to see this go down and congratulate who wins it :)

[@ryannash2358]

I love what you are doing for your community, keep it up man.

[@vanderkarl3927]

Such a short time after Pannen's TAS contest announcement! Can't wait to see these play out!

[@DaaaarK147]

this is the pogchamp ending of 2019 i was hoping for, i really hope to see that wr going even lower!!

[@jemonepping]

Holy Shit, this is a big one. Much respect for the community, and even cooler to be able to see who is gonna reap the rewards. Good Luck to everyone!

[@DDFreddi]

Okay that edit was fucking amazing, holy shit.

[@hopenguy]

Great way to show off your editors, I loved that Segway

[@Txur_Itan]

Will you do a playlist of the runs that are being summited for this challenge please? And keep up the great work, i cant wait to see all the amazing run of my favorite game!

that edit was sick!

[@ventrilo0666]

That's awesome how you divided the prize money. 5 winners is such a great incentive. I cant wait to see all these runs!!!

[@jonasrivers3675]

This is amazing! Good luck to everyone competing. I am a little miffed about the fact that you're requiring people to live stream it. Feel bad for any runner that doesn't have a rig that can handle it. Oh well I guess the line has got to be somewhere.

[@edde2429]

That edit was supercool!

[@Rich3rd]

I was literally thinking of making the website after your last video but I thought it would be pretty complicated from a legal standpoint. Good for you for going through with making the website.

[@ThirtyfourEC]

Saving OSRS and Speedrunning. One video at a time. Even though I stopped playing OSRS, I appreciate what you're doing. Keep it up as long as you're enjoying it.

[@MahDryBread]

Man, that's awesome to hear! Thanks for helping the community!

[@marcmann100]

Maybe this is the beginning of professional speedrun competitions. 5 years from now they will be sitting in full halls speedrunning against each other for a huge prize money and we will be thinking back on how it all started with this video.

If that bounty site gets made i'd love to put up a bounty for Dark Stone. Seeing people run a game i really enjoy that no one seems to know about is well worth the money to me.

[@princeofhalcyon]

Dang, what a bunch of cool bros

[@Yecobb]

This is awesome! Thank you so much to EZscape and the community for keeping this alive. Also I’m genuinely curious, why is it the first to 1:38 and not whoever has the best time by a certain date? Especially if 1:38 has already been achieved before?

[@xaladolokiyo]

fucking wow. im proud of you man, honestly the first prize was obviously going to cheese but the other 4 prizes make it more interesting hehe.

go fast

[@Professor_Utonium_]

Plenty of intro videos out there. Learn it one trick at a time

[@toastrider91]

If you want to learn sm64 specifically, the best place to start is the #resources channel in the sm64 discord. You can join it using this link: discord.gg/0Si1OtnB7Ylmwkwr If you're interested in other games, try going to www.speedrun.com/ and searching for the game you want to play. Usually there will be links to guides/resources/discord on the page for the game.

[@PalPlays]

The SM64 community is great. Thanks EZScape!

[@TheInsideVideo]

I really like the idea of rewarding more than just the top runner. Else nobody would play as Cheese will win for sure. This might actually ignite the following pack. Good stuff!

[@SimplyN64]

YOU ARE INSANE DUDE

can't wait to see the simple flips win

[@schooper]

Wow, neat! I archive all my runs on my hard drive, so maybe I might go for the bounty. Who knows?

[@M4XD4B0ZZ]

This is so EPIC

[@Raptiel]

There should be a bounty on Ninja Gaiden NES since that is pretty hard to beat thus people stay away from it. Plus gap between wr and no 2 is like 7 seconds which is an extremely large gap.

[@alexdonigian]

Nice recent donation 😎

[@adizzmal]

I’m gonna start practicing. I died on chain chomp’s gate last I played, so I’m a little rusty.

[@DMsubble]

LMFAO this thumbnail is god tier

[@yommmrr]

Epic bounty hype vid my man. Also props to the fellas who put the cash up for the bounty. Lastly this bounty saga is an awesome thing for speedrunning as a whole. It shows that although the original dude who put the bounty up fell on hard times( and did the right thing by backing out), there are people out there who care enough to go out of their way to make it right for very little personal gain. I think the shitty people in the community could learn something from this. Peace
