When Andy entered the same room as Christos in the Palace of Darkness after nearly an hour of route diversion, I got so hype.
@escobarisanoctopus5 жыл бұрын
I never saw this before, but if you check at 1:58:05, you see both Andy and Christos give each other a nod and fistbump. I always wondered why the audience did a kind of half-hearted clap and now I see why - I think a few noticed this gesture and wanted to acknowledge the sportsmanship between the two.

This was one of the best GDQ races I've seen. Both runners have never played this particular seed before even though they ran the same seed, and there was no way to tell who was in the lead since they took slightly different routes and everything was randomized. Awesome watching this live.

@Techhunter_Talon6 жыл бұрын
To clarify, 'No Glitches' just refers to the Randomizer's seed generation logic. When this setting is selected when a seed is generated the Randomizer will not account for the glitches one can pull to get to an area earlier than expected or outside of what a normal player can do in the game. It has nothing to do with the race's ruleset itself.

As a passionate chess player I appreciate that there is a variant that's basically a randomizer. Chess960 (a.k.a. Fischer Random) is where the pieces behind the pawns are in random places at the beginning of the game (except king must always be between the two rooks [so one can castle either side like in the normal chess] and the two bishops must be in different colored squares). This forces the players to start planning and form strategies from the first move without having openings memorized (since there's 960 different possible opening positions, it's not really feasible to come up with and learn opening sequences for each of them). It's the most popular chess variant besides normal chess and even the top players of the world compete each other in serious tournament settings with this variant more and more. Chess960 could be THE future for chess, since it's pretty daunting to learn many opening deeply in normal chess in order to be successful. Learning openings is NOT fun.

Before Andy's hover glitch: "Glitchless" After Andy's hover glitch: "No major glitches"
@rashkavar5 жыл бұрын
"Glitchless" is in reference to the randomizer's item placement logic algorithm. In No Glitches logic, items are all placed such that they can be accessed using bog standard vanilla mechanics. Bomb jumping, hovering, all that fancy tech is not guaranteed to not be required - even dark room navigation is excluded. Hardly anyone actually plays truly glitchless - even casuals like me do the block pushing glitches. There are other logic modes that incorporate increasingly complex glitch magic that result in increasingly absurd amounts of bullshit being required to get items in the planned progression order. No Major Glitches is a ruleset used in speedrunning and randomizer races that bans certain kinds of insane glitch-fu that's technically possible within the game, but goes WAY outside of what is intended. I think the rule of thumb is basically regarding teleportation glitches and such, where you're skipping entire rooms or dungeons, which is why hovering doesn't count - you're still actually going through the rooms. This is the ruleset that's actually binding on a runner qualifying for the speedrun or race in that category - there's other categories with less restrictive rules, of course. Of course, for a charity event like this, it'd be entirely reasonable for players of different skill levels to make a gentleman's agreement to not do specific glitches that the less skilled player can't perform, in order to make a more balanced and fair run, which is what the couch was commenting about regarding Andy's use of the hover glitch. Of course, with that particular couch, it's also entirely reasonable to assume that the guys on the couch were messing around, because....it's AGDQ, of course they're going to mess around.
