They won the gold but Clenk Stunguns won our hearts

Props to whoever wrote this script. Genuinely had me surprised. GGs to everyone in the tourney

[@bubmario]

New to this speedrunning community (great videos/tournament, really enjoyed it). I've seen comments about the script a few different times, and I have no idea what in means in relation to speedrunning (meme/joke, config file, script for commentary, etc.) Can anyone enlighten me?

[@Subglacious]

@@bubmario meme/joke, when a competition/tournament is dramatic or has an interestying storyline. Like "this was too good, must be scripted"

[@bubmario]

John Wooten thanks - that’s kind of what I figured but I had never seen it before...again, new to this sort of community. Thanks again for clearing that up.

[@IkEisawesome7]

Aussie's throws were just filthy. He _REFUSES_ to miss

[@dingo9696]

He hits them consistently because he positions his camera so that bowser is on the left side of the screen, and spins counter clockwise. This gives him as much time as possible to see the speed of the spin and react so that he releases at the correct time. I dont know why more people dont do this.

[@Poke711]

I feel like having these types of tourney's are way more interesting than pro ones because pros are just robotic while new players make some funny mistakes that are genuinely entertaining

[@JackoBanon1]

Have you ever seen a live stream of a pro? They are resetting the game nonstop because of minor mistakes that cost them the run.

[@Poke711]

[@GU-RP]

These freshman-16 video's were so fun to watch for the last couple of weeks!! Thank you simply and all the runners.

[@sloppyphart7879]

So glad I caught this live. I've loved every part of this tournament. We can only hope for another one in the future.

that intro was quite hype for the final

[@tekateman6464]

9:00 if Aussie never gave up he could have won first game :'(

[@natebit5781]

He won anyway so it didn't really matter. He was Able to keep a good lead and learned from his mistakes. In fact, at the end I recall he said he was laughing at himself in game one.

[@RegalPixelKing]

I'm glad it wasn't a 2-0. I feel like for a grand finally you shouldn't witness a pure bop.

[@sirhawkjames]

dude this tourney was so hype. great content.

[@KidMangaX]

If Aussie hadn't given up on that first game, he could've had a round 2 win. Mindset matters.

[@Spenito]

I was rooting for the homie 3l3tric but ggs to Aussie, and everyone who participated in the tournament. You all played so well, and it was a hell of a lot of fun to watch over the past couple months. And of course a big thank you to Big Daddy Simp for putting the whole thing together.

[@LiamSCL]

This has been such a good series since the start of the runs, its had a lot of unexpected moments and has brought simply further toward the limelight. Sad to see it go but it had to end eventually and i cant wait to see what invitationals we see in the future

[@minnesotacubes7911]

This whole tournament was just as, if not more interesting than watch the elite level players. Hopefully we will see more freshman tournaments, thanks to everyone who put in the work in making this happen!

[@TurtleWaveZZZ]

What an amazing invitational. The first one I ever actively followed. Simply is a really good commentator, it was an amazing thing to watch.

[@DarkAuraLord]

that game 1 was a fucking clown fiesta and I love it.

[@N12015]

Wow, until 7:15 they looked semi-profesionals. Then they became the regular player we know and love. Anyways, let's see how they had progressed in these months. Remember, this is 16 stars NO LBLJ, were only 6 people have a time under 16 minutes. AUSSIEADAM Round 1: 18;22 and 18;38, altough due to swag points Round 2: 18;26 and 18;01 . We also see his best time ever was 17;26 Round 3: xx;xx , 17;5x and 17;43 Grand final: 19;35, 17;30 and 17;24, all of them with 11 second of handicap. 3L3TRIC Round 1: 17;46 and 17;56, acheiving a new personal record in the process. Round 2: 19;xx, 18;13 and 18;38 Round 3: 19;00 and 17;43 Grand final: 19;21, 18;17 and 18;23. We can see clearly that Aussieadam improved his average time little by little over time, proof of his training. 3L3TRIC also improved, but had serious problems with consistency. He is able to do amazing runs, but somehow he only has 3 runs under 18;00 maybe because he cannot handle pressure, or more likely that he takes a lot of risks to shave some seconds, who more often than not causes him a lot of time, and considering he has a 17;14 time, 3l3ctric is clearly able to make runs as good as Aussieadam's ones, but not as often. And somehow aussieadam forgot to submit his runs, even though 17;10 (Maybe even sub 17) is something not even a hundred of players had acheived on emulator without LBLJ.

10:06 Even though I've watched a lot of GSA races, with 3l3ctric commentating, I've NEVER heard 3l3ctric scream with that hi-pitch of a voice. 3l3ctric must have been really surprised.

Anyone able to point me to the best emulator to run it on and the name of the speed timer etc etc. Basically everything cuz i'm too lazy to google and the speedrunning community is generally filled with nice helpful people.
