Because they were! This game is not easy to optimize. And every move you make, you're committed to finishing. Even with Combo Master, a whiffed hit is a lot of time loss, and on any difficulty aside from Beginner, potentially fatal. Which this is on Beginner, so it's redundant.
Yknow, at first I REALLY disliked SpikedVegeta, but considering he is on half the runs of games I like watching, I actually grew to like him a lot and its almost not the same without him anymore, so Im glad he is once again on another one of my favorite runs
@HawRazor I noticed that right away on this one, right at the beginning you can see Spike kinda realizes there's a lull and nips that right in the bud without skipping a beat. Great skill to hone
The amazing thing is, You Got a Friend in me didn't get a single donation from the beginning of this until at least around 2 HOURS 38 Minutes into the run. The chat doesn't want to pay to be Hobz's friend until it's necessary...
I just started watching KH speedruns a week or two ago, I already love the community and watching these marathon videos! Just beat KH2FM on lvl 1 crit for the first time, so after I beat the org members it’s on to try KH1 on lvl 1 proud!
MP rage and last chance are IMHO the most important skills in this game to survive all possible encounters. Last chance gurantees that you survive one leathal blow, that refills your MP gauge and gives you the chance to heal yourself.
I started getting into modding kh2, bad timing considering it *actually* launches (on steam) in 3 days but i already just launch it thru steam anyway so whatever. I only personally played original kh2 on ps2 back in the day so kh2fm proud mode is actually kicking my ass pls send help
If anyone has access to the ps2 version of this game, when you get back to destiny islands to fight Ansem, go on top of the old save hut. Spam jump. For some reason, you don't land, you keep jumping. You can attack to end it. Try jumping out of skybox, it's so wierd This might work for ps3 and ps4, but I don't own either console to try...
I remember when I tried to complete the journal, getting Bouncywild after I beat Ansem was surreal. I spent so much time in each world and somehow missed an enemy in one of them? How?
I'm a bit late but it's possible it's the rare encounter in one of the world's. You can increase your chance of finding them with the encounter plus ability turned on by givng the moogle in traverse town a certain amount of synth materials.
I liked the gameplay of recoded, I think it did the command system really well, but the story was so unnecessary. We didn’t need an entire game to explain the letter from the end of KH2 and like the only thing we would have missed is remembering that Xion existed
How could he beat the secret boss easily? It needs a high level to do that but I didn't see him leveling up Sora, all I saw was he kept avoiding all the enemies which suddenly appeared. Why did he get low damage when he fought Kurt Zisa? I thought it's very hard to beat especially the damage it inflicts
Howdy, Nicco. Not sure if Kh1 works the same as Kh2, but if so then certain story fights award guaranteed levels and abilities. Also, Rio's on beginner mode, which gives him power boost items and an XP boosting equip. If I remember right, Zisa is doable around Lv40 on ps2 (doesn't have difficulty modes beyond the xp route questions). *Inhales Deeply* So yeah, I hope that's helpful
I’ve played kingdom hearts and kh2 so many times, but i never knew that answering the kids’ questions in the beginning affected you exp. That’s, embarrassing...
i don't understand why the FF characters were even spawned in the waterway so early in the game. shouldn't the flag for them to spawn be learning red trinity? You know... like good prevention means would do?
Can someone link me that "strategy guide" jhobz is talking about in 40:00? Or can someone recommend me some strategy guide book for 1.5+2.5 or something like that? I know i can find everything i need online but i would prever something collectable.
They're talking about the original Bradygames strategy guide for Kingdom Hearts, from 2002. Long since out of print, but you can get a used copy off Amazon for pretty cheap: www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Hearts-Official-Strategy-Signature/dp/0744001986
I get they do it to bring in a different crowd, and it's all for charity and all that. But god damnit I just want to watch a couple nerds like myself talk about and play kingdom hearts.
Sort of, kind of. It's a Speedrun exhibition specifically for RPGs. (Personally, I like it better than GDQ, just because they're a little more layed back and chill.)
AGDQ atmosphere has dropped in quality over the years but RPGLB and ESA are still going strong. GDQs are still good speedrunning exhibitions but I look to other events when I want to see a runner/couch having a good time.
@@RoyalRust It was the best I could do to keep from saying "THESE FUCKING RETARD NORMIES REEEEEEEE!" Wait, you have an anime avatar... Who told you, you could talk? Get back in your box!
Never choose the sword or shield. Magic in KH1 is stupid broken and the more maximum MP you have, the more damage your magic does. The staff gives you more maximum MP, making it the best option. It's the same reason that the number-one factor for what's a good accessory is "does it give you more MP?".
Uh! I mean there not that bad but the singing is rather unbearable to watch! I still love watching KH runs though. PS: if you think they are good singers, its probably because you're a bad singer (jk ;) )
The first Song was good, Under the sea was amazing, you've got a friend in me fell flat but it was a good impression. Toto didn't deserve that last one tho lmao
If the first one was actually singing from his chest, and was a bit more patient (he really rushed into the parts of the song and lost the key), oh and if he turned the vibrato from 11 to 3 it would be not bad.
I know this is an old comment but... I don't know if he left or got banned or got bored. But knowing how hateful GDQ is towards genuinely funny people, he likely got pushed out by someone. I stopped watching GDQ because they've chased off or banned anyone that could still make me laugh.

Absolutely; JHobz and some others give phenomenal content too

"You mispronounced tidus" was such a good joke. I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who thought of it when the guy on the couch said "tide us over"
Aghh sad I missed this live. But I want to thank all of you for getting me in to running kingdom hearts. Stay awesome everyone
Yknow, at first I REALLY disliked SpikedVegeta, but considering he is on half the runs of games I like watching, I actually grew to like him a lot and its almost not the same without him anymore, so Im glad he is once again on another one of my favorite runs
He rambles a lot and stuff goes over his head left and right, but he got spunk kid
@@lucabaar1 total necro post, but he's really good at keeping the more introverted runners / couch cast comfortable and not super nervous / stammery
@HawRazor I noticed that right away on this one, right at the beginning you can see Spike kinda realizes there's a lull and nips that right in the bud without skipping a beat. Great skill to hone
There’s no reason to dislike him unless you’re socially retarded yourself lmao
I did the oathkeeper cutscene glitch somehow and DIED, it was great
I mean, you're not the only one.
Looooving the more intense catagories this time!
The amazing thing is, You Got a Friend in me didn't get a single donation from the beginning of this until at least around 2 HOURS 38 Minutes into the run. The chat doesn't want to pay to be Hobz's friend until it's necessary...

Dab because Robin Hood is not a 90's Disney movie, at all. It came out in '73.
Triston Jones I had an existential crisis when he said the 90’s cause i thought it was older than that!
Kinda weird to think that
That Goofy Saves the world incentive was awesome.
Patrick Casey I can’t wait until goofy enslaves the world in KH2
Or when he destroys it in three
Wtf XD I HAD no idea that rock on the island could break LOL
Fun fact I'm pretty sure it's possible to push it into the cave, preventing you from being able to collect the mushroom until you reload the room
@@nerdychocobo i want to try that now XD
Like legit spike singing under the sea was pretty good
Bless you guys I have an illness too and play kingdom hearts. Go Nami!
fantastic entertainment for a great cause- well worth the watch.
Very nice run as always.
1:39:17 That 30 second segment is brilliant hahaha
I've spent the last few months grinding KH2 and seeing KH1 now after not touching it for so long... oh god its so slow
Tpseed im actually replaying it right now to get my playthrough on proud Mode and yeah, it’s so goddamn slow 😅
I never knew you could get fresh drinking water in the room where you race Riku. Always got the water from the area next to the secret door.
1:48:25 Was that an Unraveled reference, JHobz?? I love it. Fantastic run and commentary, boys!

Jonathan Preston the ps2 version of regular Kingdom Hearts or Final Mix?
@@tien315 regular kingdom hearts, not final mix
Not gonna lie, I loved the surprise Africa sing-along
Man, I can't get over how much I love these runs of KH 1.5/2.5 with commentary from Spike and JHobz (and others, too). Keep it coming guys!
Hot damn, that's not a bad voice.
Dragoderian for sure, if he sung from his chest and toned down the vibrato it would be light-years better
I remember when I tried to complete the journal, getting Bouncywild after I beat Ansem was surreal. I spent so much time in each world and somehow missed an enemy in one of them? How?

It's not a KH run without Spikevegeta on the couch.
He said "tide us over" JHobz!
That's the joke
Haters gonna hate, Africa made the run better.
Ther is one word that will trigger all kingdom hearts fans,
Recoded!
i liked recoded
Me too! I dont understand why most people hate it!
Three is more of a trigger word for me than recoded lol
More triggered by Chain of Memories. Still can't figure out how to use the cards
I liked the gameplay of recoded, I think it did the command system really well, but the story was so unnecessary. We didn’t need an entire game to explain the letter from the end of KH2 and like the only thing we would have missed is remembering that Xion existed
Obtained Stench.
(for context, check 4:39:05)
How come Riz changed his name? The last time I saw him was 2018 Limit Break so I didn’t even know until I saw this
He says in the beginning of the run he changed his name cause he didn’t like his old one much anymore
Watching this in February 2021. Everybody in the room sick. We was wild back in 2019 😅
1:40:16 So when Sora goes into the bubble there, was it me or is he T-Posing into the bubble?!
Wait a second.... Goku isn't the only super saiyan??????
How could he beat the secret boss easily? It needs a high level to do that but I didn't see him leveling up Sora, all I saw was he kept avoiding all the enemies which suddenly appeared. Why did he get low damage when he fought Kurt Zisa? I thought it's very hard to beat especially the damage it inflicts
Howdy, Nicco. Not sure if Kh1 works the same as Kh2, but if so then certain story fights award guaranteed levels and abilities.

If I remember right, Zisa is doable around Lv40 on ps2 (doesn't have difficulty modes beyond the xp route questions).

@@HowlingGale that answers my question, thanks.. I thought he didn't play on beginner.. I didn't notice.

Ugh, I didn't expect the Disney sing-a-long to come here. :p
Great run, tnough!
I have respect for those people in the background watching him play for 5 houers
4:46:50 kairi forgets to take her schizophrenia meds
spikevegeta commentating is always great
That glitch was a kh3 spoiler. How dare you!
How does he manage to do so much damage? How to use his combos while jumping?
Sooo I’ve NEVER hit the colored orbs back into the FM enemy in Halloween Town lol. I beat him every time still, but I feel like an idiot lol
I wonder if this video got copyright claimed even though it is for charity 🤔
? The video itself isn’t for charity lol.

Back when you could all be sick sitting on the couch with your bros
Sorry for the ignorance, isnt that zfg running?? Or did he change his name? Or is that a look a like lol. Sounds like zfg
Click here to hear a turkey gobbling -> 2:00:34

Pretty sure he's watching a donation screen as he mentions it a couple of times
He has live footage of you in your room playing on an old TV
Anyone know what the time effect of stopping in Olympus after Jafar to pick up the holy g would have on this run?
I like how there's "e" around 4:43:00
(too lazy to pin point the time)
Which run did kasa eject the disc from last year?
Nier Automata
I think it was a KH2FM speedrun, but I could be wrong.
Kingdom Hearts Final Mix is more suck than even DmC Devil may cry.
@@Monroah it was Neir, they made a joke of it during the KH2 Run.

2:48:22 A pre-corona comment 😭😭😭
Why didn't he choose the sword instead?
Antony Manuel he said why he didn’t, he needs magic more then strength
Never choose the sword or shield. Magic in KH1 is stupid broken and the more maximum MP you have, the more damage your magic does. The staff gives you more maximum MP, making it the best option. It's the same reason that the number-one factor for what's a good accessory is "does it give you more MP?".
magic does mad damage you can end fights way quicker with magic
I was told to always pick the shield and give up the staff. What are the differences with the different combos?
Unpopular Opinion: These runs would be infinitely better if they didn't poorly sing random Disney Songs throughout.
yeah i skip those parts
Just replace all of them with Africa by Toto
thats why they do it during gummi missions. pull out the ole skipperino.
1:22:10 LOL
1:41:06 lol
I was hoping we would not have Disney songs in this marathon. They are fine in GDQ, but not here. :(
