This Pokémon Stadium World Record Got Obliterated

[@falkush]

No way! Thank you for this great video. Wouldn't have been possible without many friends who accepted to grind this game with me. Lots of discussion went into developing strategies, and two years of trying once in a while. I saw StaleBeeflet and MrPopo runs with their girlfriend, saw MrPopo's comment on cyberscore "4 player could do even more damage" and knew I had to convince my friend to play this. Highscore/speedrunning with friends is truly amazing. Your record of Bobsled Run with Lightningwar91 is also an inspiration. This being said, this lickitung record shouldn't be compared with 1 player against 3-CPUs. It is a huge advantage to play four players. Finally, congrats to QuébecYoshi for not losing his cool in front of such odds.

[@scraddles4381]

The 'green liquid' isn't actually wasabi, it's green tea. You can see it on the menu at the back, あがり. Lickitung freaks out every time because the green tea at a sushi restaurant is piping hot.

[@midi5467]

I was gonna say... the cup looks like it's for tea and that much Wasabi is just ludicrous

[@SorcererLance]

So if that's piping-hot green tea, then we're left to assume the chef, as a prank, secretly sprinkled in wasabi on random pieces of sushi for his own amusement

[@Midori_Hoshi]

You beat me to it. I was gonna post the same comment.

[@GamerFolklore]

I genuinely ponder how much of speedrunning's popularity as a whole has to do with its genesis mostly involving NES, SNES, N64 and PSX games of that era. Sometimes I ponder doing a video essay along those lines, but idk it might be too different from my usual stories and tales.

[@Iliek]

@@GamerFolklore Do it.

[@Valdraya]

at the back it says the menu. they're sorted by point value. あがり = green tea かっぱ = kappamaki (cucumber sushi wrapped in seaweed). black/white/green. たまご = egg sushi. yellow/white/black. てっか = tekkamaki (raw tuna sushi wrapped in seaweed). black/white/red. いくら = salted salmon roe sushi. red/black. えび = shrimp sushi. white/red with tail. とろ = fatty tuna sushi. red/white. うに = seasoned sea urchin egg sushi. orange/black.

[@GamerFolklore]

Thank you for the translation and descriptions! Maybe I should make an infographic about this, since I don't believe it's ever been truly documented anywhere.

[@scraddles4381]

@@GamerFolklore If you do end up making that infographic, here's more info for it, namely what the announcer shouts during the game When the game starts: いらっしゃい (irasshai = Welcome!) When shrimp sushi appears: えび一丁 (ebi icchou = Plate of shrimp sushi) When fatty tuna sushi appears: とろ一丁 (toro icchou = Plate of fatty tuna sushi) When sea urchin sushi appears: うに一丁 (uni icchou = Plate of sea urchin sushi) When the game ends: へい、おあいそ (hei, oaiso = Alright, here's your bill/check) After calculation: 毎度あり (maidoari = Come again/Thank you for your patronage!) Additionally, when Lickitung eats the green tea, he turns red and starts flailing (too hot!). When he turns green and starts flailing, that's because he ate some sushi with wasabi in it. It's completely random which plates have the wasabi in them, which is why Lickitung's freak outs come at complete random in this game.

[@renakunisaki]

As a kid I heard "who needs salt?" Not knowing what sushi was, I didn't think it was odd. I assumed the rest was just indecipherable due to low quality.

[@leonfire99]

​@scraddles4381 im really glad this minigame didnt get localized. It has so much personality to it thanks to its japanese identity. And playing it was still the most fun even if none of that was understood.

[@TheSamUtari]

The Clefairy game could be done using the yellow buttons instead of the Dpad. I loved that one. I played the crap out of both Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2 and had so much fun transferring my Pokemon over via the controller attachment. Also, loved that Pokemon could be weird colors and this was before shinies were a thing so that was also very cool. Also, there were models of all 151* Pokemon as you could use Mew in there.

This game brings back memories. The announcer btw says uni-cha which means the sushi is uni or sea urchin roe. Makes sense as it tends to be one of the more expensive sushi.

[@ngbrother]

Very interesting to compare the chances of category 5 CME vs this run. They are actually very close. May solar event was largest in 20 years - there are 7300 nights in 20 years. So chances were 1 / 7300 (roughly the same chances as this run).

[@VillainousWarlord]

Amazing minigame and video. Lickitung is probably the most forgotten generation 1 Pokemon but it's a favorite of mine, and this minigame is the biggest spotlight he gets.

[@GamerFolklore]

I remember taking ages to get Lickitung in Pokemon GO. I couldn't hatch him from a 10km egg for ages!!!

[@Californ1a]

Fwiw, there are also leaderboards for all the minigames on RetroAchievements (find the Pkmn Stadium page and look at the last panel on the right side column), though they're all inheriently done on emulator since RA submission is managed by the emu itself automatically using direct data from the game's memory. There's no way to do any manual submissions on any of RA's leaderboards that I'm aware of. Also, they're all specifically listed as "as 1P vs 3 Hard COMs" so you couldn't use multi-player strats for them.

[@anonymoose2474]

I absolutely love seeing an ultra optimized run of something super obscure

[@noireisbest6786]

It's kinda embarrassing but as a kid, I thought some of the dishes where ice cream sandwiches.

[@quebecyoshi]

Wow I'm glad you said that! We were actually calling the second most expensive sushi "ice cream sandwich" (in french) in all of our attempts. Not knowing what it was, that's what it made us think about. Good to know we're not the only ones!

[@BlobVanDam]

I've never had any issues with the N64 D-Pad, and i spent a lot of time playing games that used it. Maybe that minigame was coded poorly?

[@renakunisaki]

Or bad controller?

[@anonymousAJ]

Suggested optimization: The designated eater should start out on shrimp (350Y) during the first 20 seconds, then switch to uni (1000Y) This should give roughly 5,000 extra points from 5 extra shrimp rather than sitting around waiting for uni to populate Shrimp have the best combination of spawn rate and score, exceeding even uni Alternately you can start on roe (250Y) or tuna sashimi (600Y) if several of these spawn Shrimp have 35 points of expected value from a random spawn (10% times 350Y) while all three other top foods have 30 points of EV However, a "perfect" run of Shrimp will only net something like 20k-30k points (15-20 shrimp) so once you spawn some uni in you definitely want to make the switch if going for a high score Obviously the uni spawn will come with enough attempts

[@Gnaryclipz]
