I watch a lot of KH randomizers which also have this point system, super cool to see it introduced to other games too. IMO it helps a lot even though it takes a bit to get used to. Excited for more :)
am i missing something i haven't watched Chris n Shen do a crystal run in a while and noticed the Red theme was playing at the end? caught me by surprise lol
Definitely a cool take on the randomizer that I'd love to see more of! Where does the Goldenrod bargain sale belong to btw, since the trainer that gives the phone call is in Azalea zone?
Just starting: this system could really pay off for people able to determine what combination of items could make up each point score and plan their routes accordingly... especially in the mid- to late game. I'm not surprised to see a time under 2 hours, but it could probably go a lot lower with practice and planning.
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but why are the pokegear components required in a FIR? Can you not just surf from Fuchsia around to Pallet without waking up the Snorlax? I mean, I take it there is a reason, but I don't remember that route being inaccessible or a one-way in vanilla Crystal
Fuchsia to Pallet is blocked by construction work until you reach Pallet for the first time. So the only way to get to Pallet is to wake up the Snorlax
Hot take, Shen is kinda mean to Chris. I love the dynamic, but sometimes saving seconds or "why didn't you do this" or "why did you do that" is just weird.
Shen is just a little more direct sometimes when they’re playing. Chris is definitely more go with the flow. It’s their dynamic. Sometimes he sounds harsh for sure but I don’t think he means any harm by it. They both seem to enjoy playing together, they are an iconic duo after all
I’ve watched Chris for years and for every “Shen seems mean” bit there are like 10 more where they vibe together. Like you could make a highlight real of them just goofing off together and it’d be over an hour long. But I’m not Chris, I can’t speak to what he feels. The evidence says that he enjoys playing with Shen though. And they are a great duo
Also, they are racing against a clock. These videos are meant to be a race to the end. Even when they’re on the same team they are still speedrunning. Maybe Shen just has a different approach to it. Like a mindset ya know. I’ve only dabbled in speedrunning I couldn’t do what these men do for sure. But I don’t think Chris just has Shen on for the content lol
@@RinoSoreAss Like I said, I enjoy their teamwork. Most videos you don't hear anything mean. Just an observation. It's not enough for me to stop watching
LETS GOOOOOOO. MOM GET THE MEATLOAF. CHRIS GOT SHEN OUT OF HIS RUNESCAPE CAVE FOR A VID
exactly my thought :D
Runescave
@@jacinath Shenscape? Runeanagans?

DID SOMEBODY SAY MEATLOAF?
Interesting spin with the point system. Hope to see more of these runs in full on UA-cam!
That lugia was inflicted with status ailments like 2/3 of the time lmao. sickly boy

Yeeeeees finally new coop-randomizer content
I really liked this, interesting new way to play the item rando! I would love to see some more of these 😊
Hey Chris! Love the content! Appears to be missing area #16 for the point tracker for future videos :)
I was so confused looking for what was revealed by the Storm badge. Area 12 is shown twice, lol.
@@461weavileohh that's what happened
Interesting new system! A bit confusing for now, but I think that's partially because Chris is getting used to it with us.
Definitely a cool take on the randomizer that I'd love to see more of!

Part of Goldenrod!

Have you guys tried an all items linked Archipelago yet? I think that would be up your alley.

This reminds me of KH Rando with the point system, anyone know if this new full item rando version is in the discord server for Crystal Item Rando?
Confusing system lol. But always like the co-ops
How do you get/use the point system?

@@RinoSoreAss Agreed, very much a team game/team sports dynamic you see sometimes.
