    I agree with your ranking of Spirit Tracks very emphatically, as someone who ran it in 2014 after getting the advice "you should use your favorite game to get into speedruns" and still has a top 10 time almost a decade later because of how dead and unexciting the run is. It literally put me off trying more speedruns for almost five years.

    Suggestion: would you consider adding chapters/timestamps to your description? Not sure how beneficial they would really be, but it might be nice to break the video into segments for the intro, each game, conclusions, etc. Great content, regardless.

    • @Skyehoppers
      @Skyehoppers  3 роки тому +10

      I could! I thought about it but since there would be like 20 parts I thought it would look crowded maybe? But yeah I could definitely add that.

      @@GrimlandCS I hadn't thought about it from that perspective! Just added chapter markers and I'll add them the Mario video and all future videos as well. I definitely want my videos to be as accessible as possible and if chapter markers help that then Ill do my best to incorporate them.

    I would’ve put Twilight Princess at a glitch level of at least 3. There is a lot of glitches, and the entire game is basically a glitchy exploited mess for two hours

    Not the point of the video but by far Link's Awakening is my favorite of the 2D zeldas and has a grip on my soul. I catch myself idly humming the ballad of the wind fish sometimes.

    Next zelda game after Tears of the Kingdom RTS game themed around the big showdown between Gannon and his army vs Hyrule and their armies. Link does not show up until the post credit cutscene to tease the next game which ends up being a tactical RPG.

      Thanks! Yeah Ive been posting to r/speedrun and that's where like over half of my traffic has come from honestly. Tbh I probably wont do another video with this exact formula? Metroid would probably work but I've never actually played any of the games so I don't think I would feel qualified to talk about them.

    I automatically have to criticize your glitch score, ACE getting anything less than a 5 is absurd. There is nothing more game breaking and "glitchy" than ACE. Its like saying a gun isn't gunshot isn't deadly because the bullet travels to fast to see, its absurd.
