The Runaway Guys Colosseum 2020 - Stepmania

The 8-Bit Drummer proves his fingers to be the fastest in the west! Some sections had to be cut from this one to avoid making the music industry think we weren't nice.

Jerod on the first song: "This one's actually pretty hard, i'm surprised i'm doing so well." Me: "Yeah that looks hard, I don't think I could keep up with that to well." Jerod switching songs: "I'm kidding I wouldn't start with something so easy." Me: "OH"

[@elenna1237]

literally my exact thoughts :p

[@maximyllion]

@Haley Halcyon - Gaming Channel lmao yeah

[@wanderingharlow6305]

Rest in peace Jerod's fingers.

[@iamnoone21]

Jerod's ability to instantly fall and stay in rhythm no matter what circumstance is incredible, and this only reinforces my awe. The blind drum alongs are amazing, of course, but I've been thinking about this since I watched him drum a functional beat in Duck Game, of all things, last Colosseum

[@Cmmf_]

The fun thing about this is that it's almost completely muscle memory! As soon as you hear the bpm your brain just automatically adjusts and you just get locked in the groove. There is a point where your brain doesn't know where and how to come back in, but that point is right near your speed-cap. The blind drumming is one of the most impressive skills i have ever seen though, no doubt that he's an anomaly in that department.

*plays a 12 Star song "Would you like to enable sticky keys?"

[@JakeRat-xo2bw]

Not that it's a competition, but I think Jerod was by far the most talented person at TRG Colosseum. This, his Enter the Gungeon run, and the blind Through the Fire and the Flames drum run were some of the hypest parts of the entire event.

[@sfeng73]

I feel it's pretty impressive that Jerod can basically sight read many of these songs, given that he installed the game the very same day of Colosseum and hasn't touched it in a long time.

[@TuucciZ]

A lot of rhythm games are like riding a bike. Once you learn it, you'll know how to do it no matter how many years you take off

[@jonathanrupe8399]

@@TuucciZ This is true. My progress curve has essentially been: play a bit, make a bit of progress, leave for a while, come back/recover progress, repeat.

[@PokemonTravelerGuide]

Jerod's energy is so refreshing. This was a blast to experience. It would be fun to see more of this in the future. Discovered a few musical gems along the way too.

[@heartfullbutterfly314]

If you want to check out some of his streams he streams pretty frequently throughout the week. Look up the8bitdrummer. His streams are always a blast and full of memes and weebs

[@invincible13matt]

14:22 Amusingly, Tachyon is meant as very high level footspeed practice for pad players. It's not a keyboard pack.

[@YourPalRal]

The arrow keys on that keyboard must be incredibly worn out.

41:35 Jerod realizes that he didn't turn off his alerts

[@Aelita1234]

Funny thing was it was my boyfriend who triggered the sub, it was hilarious XDDDD

[@crimsongamer2337]

Ofc copyright, and bummer. Cause I love DragonForce

[@Rexaura888]

In which Jerod shows that he can pour just as much energy into mashing keys as he does into his drum set.

[@Rexaura888]

Just read the description, and let me guess, TTFATF is out again? 19:30 Sure enough, which means a certain milestone later on’s not going to be as impactful as a result, but so it goes.

[@StarLoyd424]

This is still probably my favorite colosseum segment ever

[@DragonKazooie89]

Ah, I have fond memories of this game, including spending hours making my own sims.

[@michaelb6312]

*Tries to click along* My brain: who do you think you are Me; A god. But a very bad one.

[@elenna1237]

I couldn't even click along to the "this is pretty hard... just kidding" bit he did at the start :p

[@haylemoo]

41:35 when everyone realizes Jerod forgot to turn off his alerts for his channel

[@TheBrownMON]

Seeing Jerod do this live made my fingers want to be cracked

[@SuperGoker64]

Here lies Goker's brain, which has melted at the sheer sight of the insane runs Jerod had to endure for charity *F*

[@bryanguegan4006]

This man is amazing.

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Booyah for the drummer of 8-bit, and his lovely wife, doing a rhythm game segment. Rhythm games are one of my favorite genres to play, being a musician (singer, flute, and some experience with harp and piano) but not completely indoctrinated into 21st century popular music.

[@Calham64]

Watching this part live at 1am was awesome!

[@adambanks8469]

This video is making me contemplate whether I am really a gamer

[@Bakuan]

What did I just watch.. my eyes couldn't keep up with all the arrows. Amazing work yet I have no idea how you did it...

[@fryespikachu153]

27:30 - There's my first donation of this year (and also the single biggest donation I've made in any of the Colosseums). I was specially waiting for a quieter time to donate after all the hectic activity earlier on.

[@tobyjack1238]

This was the only segment I was able to catch live, and holy crap have I been waiting to revisit it.

[@KodyPupper]

As soon as I saw the name Tachyon, I knew this was gonna be a fuuuun event

[@PinkReaper1]

S.S.H. YES! He(SSH is one person) is also part of Hellion Sound if you want more amazing remixes by him.

[@NineToFiveGamerUC0079]

This makes me happy. People still playing Stepmania!

[@Halcryder]

@37:04 Name shoutout. One of my favourite segments of the whole thing, along with the Gungeon bit.

[@BlueKnight85]

It took me years to get decent at a regular DDR game. Massive respect for Jerod doing that with his fingers. That takes a lot of fast reflexes!

[@blue_boo3171]

Keep this charity event going one *step* at a time!

[@BiggestSniff]

grandpoo bear and trg must combine the colosseums !

[@guguig9746]

That's a segment I missed due to sleep, and wow, what a great one!

[@davidmatoushek9111]

The 8-Bit Drummer is a keyboard typing machine! I am nowhere near as fast as this guy.

[@crimsongamer2337]

I had fond memories of DDR for the Play Station with the mat. Never heard of a version for PC though

[@adamrhodes9533]

45:40 ...Does Jerod have a Goldman alert?

[@wanderingharlow6305]

Yep, he most definitely does. You really should check his stream. Never seen a streamer emit that much positive energy.

[@YOM2_UB]

51:30 for a clearer listen

[@unnameablename]

Shame that Through the Fire and the Flames has to be cut. It was such a hype segment

[@luigidude44]

I came in through the last 10 minutes of his segment. I see the description but I'm still a bit confused on what happened

[@unnameablename]

I had FAR TOO MUCH FUN torturing Jerod!!! 🤣 his poor fingers!

I would argue that Erika had just as much fun with the water bottle

[@DarkestElemental616]

One of my old boyfriends could do a lot of these on dancepad. Watching him go was enough to make me exhausted!

[@gingerr8015]

No friggin way i could do this. My eyes and brain cannot even compute the arrows going by so fast

This video explains why this man is married this isn't his wife watching him suffer it's watching him train those are some fast moving finger

I have stepmania, but I use the cyberia style last approach skin.

[@smackjack78]

OH BOY, ARROWS!👆👇👉👈

[@magoo2133]

During the craze that was people activating Jerod’s alerts, I was like “sure, why not”. Poor excuse to follow him, but whatever.

[@deathknight75]

If Jerod plays Starcraft his APM must be insane.

[@sasukuto]

I missed the favorite anime attack in the chat so I'm putting it here instead!! GUMO GUMO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. HAWK, RIFLE!!!!!!!!!

[@magecodi100]

Seeing someone use two hands without remapping the keys for this was interesting; I always preferred using one hand arrow keys though, with occasionally remapped keys with two hands.

[@zelos1826]

Aww damn, I wanted to see Dragonforce... but it's all good~ Dancing Mad for the finale, hell yeah, I love it.

The parts that were cutoff were very frustrating.

Did he break his monitor?

[@painlesspersona5191]

I could never play stepmania with the arrow keys lol

[@mineboom7377]

Just wait till you discover NotITG...

[@sorensharp4377]

Why was Fire and the Flames cut? Was it because of copyright? I was actually really excited to hear it.

[@Konradix05]

I would assume for the fear of getting a strike on the channel. The same thing happened last year too. It sucks but maybe the VOD is still on twitch with the song (the disappear after a month and they may get muted because of the song, but that's the best bet). If it's any consolation Jerod has a video of him drumming to the song on his youtube channel.

[@sorensharp4377]

@@Konradix05 Yeah, I understand that. It doesn't make sense though. If he can get a copyright strike here, why can't he on his own channel? And why aren't all the other songs in this game copyrighted? Also, what about all the youtubers who just upload songs. There are like 10 different uploads of just the song and they are striked. KZbin's copyright system is absolutely jacked and completely unfair.
