Werster rages on Sonic 2 runner

[@omghamburgler]

Werster is the chef Ramsey of speedrunning.

[@wBrianthepyro]

I was literally thinking the same thing watching that

[@Epro95]

+wBrianthegreat Why would you add the word 'literally' in there? Why would someone 'figuratively' think something?

[@jcnot9712]

kniter I don’t think people need to be mad at him to point out he can be toxic and lose himself at times. It’s a genuine character flaw of his and point of criticism.

[@thomasenigma9357]

This can be summed up in one Werster quote. "His execution is fine, but he just doesn't seem to have the knowledge".

[@sstteev]

More like "His execution is fine, but he just doesn't seem to have the Asperger's." ... (Note my (correct) placement of the period *within* the quotation marks)

[@pc31754]

Is no one gonna mention that he’s speedrunning while watching a speedrun?

[@infinityheart_tm9270]

Yeah because Pokemon is a monotonous press a button or two and watch the animation (that they refuse to let you turn off by the way) play themselves and you’re left there waiting.

[@raimonwintzer]

he always calls out the good stuff as well, hes not just shit talking. but people would just rather complain because it's 2016 and we must save our delicate sensibilities (while also making fun of other people's different delicate sensibilities, very important for te full package)

[@QuantemDeconstructor]

y'all know how it is, I like and appreciate that

[@PokettoManStar]

All you're presenting Rai is your own snowflake sensibilities. Werster offers nothing constructive, because he presumes it's "no knowledge". What does that even mean?

[@snazzel8312]

Poketto If you don't know what he means by "no knowledge".. Why are you even watching this?

[@PokettoManStar]

What does this mean? I can't consume media without fully understanding it? I should embrace everything I find objectionable?

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

Everybody talking nonsense about Werster, but to be fair, he does actually compliment the runner when he gets it right. Take a look at the moment at 6:09 - Werster practically soils himself at the guy's good run. So don't act like he's a complete arsehole when he just really, _really_ cares about the game. That's all.

[@chumbaman777]

I find it funny how people hate on Werster for the way he talked in here. They fail to see how upsetting it is when someone representing a game that you are "the best" at, in front of over 100,000 viewers is failing to give the correct knowledge out. Had that guy said things like "I'm not sure if this is a frame perfect move" or "I need to do some more research on this particular level," he would not have been hard on him. So Werster gets upset and yells at his TV..... Have you ever yelled at your screen when a ref makes a bad call? I could go on for days, but I'd rather not.

[@chumbaman777]

The Game Corner Are you 12 years old? Have you never experienced anything in the "real" world? Not only are those games his passion, but they are his job. If you were to talk about how Barcelona plays their matches and start giving out statistics that were false in front of over 100,000 people... those players would get pissed off too. As to him saying that when it was a charity stream... he was talking on his own personal stream which has absolutely 0 to do with the charity. The guy himself attends those charity events at least once a year. He finds them to be a great cause. Where do you come off telling him he is a cunt? Grow up.

[@tasshuffler8905]

Werster is not at the charity event. Werster is simply commenting on a run of Sonic 2. Your logic is pitiful

[@gabagool69]

Anthony Core r

[@themeeman]

Some people need to realise that if you cant take criticism you will never improve. I am 100% positive that when werster got into sonic speed running he got criticised by all kinds of people who were better than him, but instead of giving up he took it on board and improved to become good enough where he could criticise others. I hope the runner on stream took it well, and bear this in mind before you start rushing to defend his pride. Rational criticism makes you stronger if you accept it, even if it hurts to hear.

[@galararticuno9419]

What a clickbait-y title...More like Werster does a brutally honest commentary. There's no rage here. He even compliments the runner when he does something right.

[@BlueIsLeet]

He does rage at times

[@smarockRB]

It's really a shame I'm seeing so much hate on werster in the comments here. You guys have to realize that the man had been up for 27+ hours straight which only makes him more brutally honest than he already is, and because he's watching a run that he's great at he's sure to just grill the runner(s), especially since he's not there and they can't hear him. It's easy to hate on werster if you don't know the guy, but I watch him all the time and he's so cynical, blunt and negative it's hilarious, and I found his commentary on this run to be a prime example of him being a funny asshole.

I love this vid. Werster only gives credit where it's due. The guy running this game just didn't know enough about it to make a good run. Werster commended the shining moments but bashed him for bad strats and spouting bullshit frame numbers, as he should. It's one thing to play badly but worse to misinform people while doing it. I don't think this should scare anyone off from being a speedrunner, if anything just do a better job. TLDR; Don't be lazy in your runs.

[@MxMoondoggie]

When you start out in anything some of the criticism won't be in a nice way but it's down to your character what happens next. If Werster tore me to pieces like this I'd be thinking "I'll show you" and I'd want to learn how to get good. I play a lot of MMO's so I'm used to people who are top players tearing up other players they earned that right. It's down to you to prove a point and earn the respect of others. Werster did compliment the things he did well.

[@eomdri]

Then don't. Because you clearly lack the fortitude for it.

[@KaeraNeko]

MxMoondoggie That's true, criticism can help you grow if you can't see exactly what you're doing wrong. He did compliment the things that the runner performed well in, but I felt a clear contrast between the commendations and the "That's pathetic, what are you doing?"s. It's probably just a personal thing, it simply rubbed me the wrong way. I'm sure the speedrunner community, Werster included, is a wonderful group of people with many different ways to relay tips and tricks to get started or save single frames. eomdri Perhaps not at the moment, but maybe I will in the future. This comment may have been just a temporary reaction to the video. Given how big a part of my life revolves around gaming, it's almost unthinkable that I won't touch upon speedrunning sometime in my life. Sorry if I sounded like a whiny little bitch in the original comment, I tend to swing that way on worse days.

[@bhot9293]

Kaera Neko Speed running is what u make of it. If you want to be super competitive, you can without being rude about it. However, you can't control how other people are. Also, if you just want to get better at a game and play it quick, you can learn a run and beat your own times instead of worrying about what others think about your runs. If you're thinking about speed running, I would. It can be frustrating ,but it's really rewarding when you get a good run.

Except for the part where, you know, the runner wasted time. Even if he can't reset, he wasted time on a lot of occasions. Like choosing to die towards the start.

[@TheMineMappers]

***** The thing is that this run was made in a marathon, and you do not reset in a marathon unless you fail in like some RNG manipulation or softlock the game. Werster Tries to get a PB always.

[@FurryWulfz]

That was my point. Look at any of Wersters GDQ runs in perspective to this; he fucks up in them all too somewhat I believe.

[@MxMoondoggie]

***** Well sort of. The one that went horribly wrong was the Knuckles in Sonic 2 race and he even said that it was crappy for him it still wasn't as bad as this run. He never messed up on an actual trick or zip though as far as i can recall in his Sonic runs and he pulls off some really difficult ones flawlessly in Sonic 3 and Knuckles. This guy in Sonic 2 messes up really simple zips. Just look at the one Werster does in Marble Garden in Sonic 3 and Knuckles at AGDQ it's ridiculous how fast he does it.

This Werster guy seems to treat this stream like the former. It's pretty fucking funny to laugh at at least.

[@TechHug]

He expects people to run games like he would. The thing is that he's WAY better than most people when it comes to explaining a run as he does it, so he normally says how things realistically are when he runs at AGDQ. He also takes games tht he runs seriously very personally. Also, to be fair, you really should know the game well if you're going to run at one of these events. You haven't seen how the chat reacts when people not named Blueglass (YSG) screw up all the time.

NDogg15 The guy in the video did and said some cool things that people who've played Sonic 2 might not have had known about, and he did it within the estimated time frame and for a good cause.
