I found him a little frustrating; his narration suffers a bit since he's obviously dividing his attention, so I would continuously get caught up in his faltering words rather than paying attention to the run itself. I prefer it when the couch has knowledge about the run and can describe it for us. That said, I can't fault the guy, he's clearly good at what he does.
5:25 "Weird crash, I can't really explain why the game can possibly crash, I don't know" *Random dude in the room* "It's a sonic game!" There's no possibly better answer
Sonic Adventure has one of the largest innovations in 3D camera technology and has an incredibly robust character physics system for the time of its development. It is also a Sonic game from the late 90's and even with those innovations late 90's camera and physics tech were not up to the task of a 3D Sonic game. Ambitious, groundbreaking, loads of fun, but no not very polished. The DX port even less so, and the PC port of the DX port even less so, AND the Steam port of the PC port of the DX port even less so.
I remember playing this on dreamcast and they had competitions for prizes using its online capabilities.. The leaderboards were people beating the levels in 4 seconds .. I used to be like WTF??
I love how his movement looks so similar to the way sonic moves in official animations, leaping a wall to wall. The only difference is how the optimal movement for corridors is the double spin dash spam instead of a normal run.
@@Fredcat11 Eggman tries to steal the phone but Knuckles successfully shatters it into pieces which are now scattered around the whole world. Only if all pieces are found then the mobile phone is fully restored.
I remember playing SADX for the first time and getting Egg Hornet when I was like 9 and beating Egg Hornet like that by accident my first time fighting it, but I couldnt do it after for some reason and never saw youtube videos do it and it made me think I imagined it. Im glad my loser kid self was inadvertantly doing a speed strat quick kill.
you dont actually need to do that clip to get the crystal ring, you can just hit the button and spin dash into the door before it closes. no light speed dash needed either
It's a bit faster to do the clip into the crystal ring room (unless it's TAS). Thankfully, the crystal ring clip is very easy, flandre just forgot to use auto camera instead of free cam to make it more consistent.
This game was fine and isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. When I was a kid I never experienced any real game breaking glitch maybe the odd one here or there that made me die but it’s a fine actually enjoyable game
To be fair that's most speedruns. Sonic games and collision don't really go too well together but most games that get speedran use a bunch of clips and whatnot. Not sure why Arin was surprised lol
Arin was right??? About what? He sucks at games, he hates sonic. Why should we give any credibility to that filthy-mouthed controller-fumbling idiotic individual?
I spent SO MANY hours playing this game on my dreamcast when I was 10 and it had just come out Today I wouldn't say it's a great game but it's still a lot of fun and just as nostalgic as Sonic 2 which was my very first video game
I've had this game for ten years and I have hundreds of hours on record, and I've decided to start playing this on my channel. Maybe I'll try to speedrun some time!
Eggman: "Quick, ready our defenses, Sonic is coming soon" Bad Guys: "Roger" Sonic laying under a tree: "Oh you said my name" Eggman: "WHAT YOUR ALREADY HERE!!!"
So many of these skips would be impossible in SRB2 because the skybox is really just a wall with a virtual texture on it, lol. New games will always fall short in awesome level design!
Runner introduction starts at 00:50. Run starts at 1:10.
God bless
Ayy. I'm glad you also posted the runner introduction. That's where I prefer to start.
I was hoping it would be the whole game, but I guess this is good enough.
Props to the runner for being able to constantly commentate what he was doing as he was doing it and still doing it well.
yeah the runner is actually super entertaining but not over the top while still being informative. he's super cool
I found him a little frustrating; his narration suffers a bit since he's obviously dividing his attention, so I would continuously get caught up in his faltering words rather than paying attention to the run itself. I prefer it when the couch has knowledge about the run and can describe it for us. That said, I can't fault the guy, he's clearly good at what he does.
Fr
This is actually how Sonic would play his own game
Knuckles would just punch anything out of the way 😂
GOTTA GO FAST!!!
The super excited guy in the audience just made my day
Aki “BIG THE CAT! BIG THE CAT!”
Damn, thant runner talks faster than Sonic runs.
He's just doing play by play for vision impaired viewers!
Gotta go fast
rapgods in chat.
gotta talk fast
I was just gonna say the same thing lol
I like it the most when the crowd is actively participating and cheers up the runner - makes it all much more fun
the hypeman in the audience is Kirbymastah, just so that people know
believe me, i was the guy holding the plushies
XD good sir
Didn't know KirbyMastah gets hyped because of Sonic adventure's lol
Ran and Marisaaaaa
I want to know who that one guy screaming "oh no" throughout the whole run was. He is hilarious with the timings
indeed very random :P
"It's a Sonic Game!"
Russian Bot Haha I was going to point that one out lol. Gotta love the crowd, the one in the Brain Age TAS was pretty good too lol.
Sei Iori MORTAL COMBAT!!!!!
5:25 "Weird crash, I can't really explain why the game can possibly crash, I don't know"

There's no possibly better answer
"It's a Sonic game" is the best response to a Sonic game crashing
Oh no introduction starts at 10:17. Oh no starts at 10:28.
Oh no!
Oh no
_Oh yes._
Oh no!
OH NO
Sonic Adventure is an incredibly polished game.
/s
The Dreamcast version still got critical acclaim reviews.
Said no one ever lol
Sonic Adventure IS polished. Sonic Adventure *DX* isn’t.
Sonic Adventure has one of the largest innovations in 3D camera technology and has an incredibly robust character physics system for the time of its development. It is also a Sonic game from the late 90's and even with those innovations late 90's camera and physics tech were not up to the task of a 3D Sonic game.

What type of prizes? And the people who beat the levels in 4 seconds are probably hacking
ah those annoying hackers
Hackers are still seen on the PSN/Steam/Xbox Live leaderboards for SADX.
Ok, 48 seconds on windy valley is reasonable but 4 seconds is just hackers
💀
5:26
-i cant explain why it does that
-ITS A SONIC GAME
That one killed me.
I love how his movement looks so similar to the way sonic moves in official animations, leaping a wall to wall. The only difference is how the optimal movement for corridors is the double spin dash spam instead of a normal run.
I love how he had to make actual backup saves so the run could continue even if the save file corrupted during the stream. Oh Sonic Adventure DX...
This run is amazing, the runner is so effortlessly cool about it all
That "oh no" was spot-on lmao
"I'll play with you some other time"
You killed him, Sonic, you psycho
Hey, hell exists for a reason..
>you miss the best music in the game by doing this skip
Strange, I don't believe Egg Carrier plays during the snow level.
KayneArcheron lmaoooo trueee
That’s a weird way to spell pinball minigame music
KayneArcheron e102 theme*
It doesn’t matter doesn’t play during ice cap, neither does most of the other music in the game
That's a weird way to spell Speed Highway 1
I hope that guy got his phone back after he left it on the sofa.
Or if he didn't, he would have to hiring either Knuckles or Rouge to hunting it down.
@@Fredcat11 oh no
@@Fredcat11 Eggman tries to steal the phone but Knuckles successfully shatters it into pieces which are now scattered around the whole world. Only if all pieces are found then the mobile phone is fully restored.
@@cloroxhammer3289 oh no
this is how sonic was meant to be played
Yes, phasing through walls was definitely part of the formula
still not as short as sonic forces played casually.
There's one guy in the back going nuts during this run.
woo!
BIG THE CAT! BIG THE CAT!!!
This is amazing! Memorizing everything, timing everything aND commentating wow...
17:55 that music actually perfectly timed
"Casin-opolis"... I mean grammatically it makes sense, but that's the first time I've ever heard it pronounced like that. In 19 years.
smokebomb.exe How would you’ve pronounced it?
The grammatically incorrect-yet-colloquially-friendly "Casino-opolis." (note the two "o"s)
smokebomb.exe Fair enough.
Now, the definitive question: Hydrossity, or Hydro City?
Easy. THe way everyone says it: Hydro City (y)
smokebomb.exe Ok, phew. I’ve heard of people who defend Hydrossity to the grave and it makes me feel bad
Such a good run, the crowd was more energetic than nowadays.
Exactly
They are more energetic then most ppl i see in movie theaters
GET A LOAD OF *THIS*
Oh no.
ALL SYSTEMS, FULL POWER!
Something bugging you?
This dude is so wholesome. "You might be thinking, 'Well now you're stuck dummy', but no I'm not!"
This video has been a massive help on my personal journey to speed run this game. I cut my game time from an hour 40 minutes to 45!!!
why did we not play Gamma's story. I wanted to see the runners cry
This was the very first game on the GameCube that set me apon the path of video games.
To this day my mother says she regrets getting it for me.
Great run and great commentary! He even timed the donation perfectly so it ended as he got the emerald!
I remember playing SADX for the first time and getting Egg Hornet when I was like 9 and beating Egg Hornet like that by accident my first time fighting it, but I couldnt do it after for some reason and never saw youtube videos do it and it made me think I imagined it. Im glad my loser kid self was inadvertantly doing a speed strat quick kill.
I'm obsessed with players that are super informative and talk about info about the game or the speedrun that just casual watchers may not know
Someone kept saying *oh no* and they were perfectly timed XD
Yeah! Is yo boy JustFlandre
17:54 The music timing was perfect lol
22:45 Imakuni best Vinesauce girl
the music between those 2 rockets was perfect, it ended as he jumped off the second rocket
Oh neat, Imakuni showed up
I'm impressed that he can talk and speedrun at the same time
There we go lol thanks for the upload
I love speedruns, one of the best parts of gaming.
Thank goodness he had a backup save file. He got it ready super fast, too.
Love the fanart at the start.
So does anyone know who the runner"s hype man in the audience is?
I'm pretty sure it's Geoff (the Monkey Ball runner)
Kirbymastah
5:25 amen to that dude in the back.
Tails appears out of nowhere
Some guy in the audience: hi tails
As a Sonic fan, this is magical to watch. If I ever end up speedrunning a game, it'll be Sonic Heroes simply because I REALLY like Sonic Heroes.
Not even 5 minutes in and I am already impressed...
"Hi Tails!"
"Hey! I'll play with you some other time!" o_O'
6:44 That donation was timed perfectly, flandre knew!
Whoever decided to put the run at the start vs the end, great idea.
Loved the run, happy to see this game get stupidly broken
Well the game grumps said this games speed run is crazy, so scoot over.
Is nobody going to mention how satisfying 17:55 is with the rocket timing perfectly with the music?
Ik
This is my very first game when I got the GameCube
Chaos 0: "That doesn't look too hard."
Emerald Coast: "At least it's easy to restart a stage."
I love that guy in the audience screaming "OUH NOH"
you dont actually need to do that clip to get the crystal ring, you can just hit the button and spin dash into the door before it closes. no light speed dash needed either
But fast
It's a bit faster to do the clip into the crystal ring room (unless it's TAS). Thankfully, the crystal ring clip is very easy, flandre just forgot to use auto camera instead of free cam to make it more consistent.
Thanks gdq for inspiring me to join the community, 2 days before the sonic stream I decide to start practicing and running this game!
me: takes 30 days to finish this game.
Speedrunners: 30 minutes
just to clarify, this speedrun with the exact same tricks would be impossible on the dreamcast version
The port is held together with chewing gum and fan loyalty
So, do speed runners just get super excited when a game comes out and it turns out it's an awful unfinished game?
This game is "bad", but honestly pretty fun.
There’s a *huge* difference between being good and being enjoyable
DASH596 it wasn’t that bad. At least I could see Mario most of the time.
Do you people realize this game came out in the 90s right? This game was revolutionary for its time
This game was fine and isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. When I was a kid I never experienced any real game breaking glitch maybe the odd one here or there that made me die but it’s a fine actually enjoyable game
Good thing he talks to u as he goes, keeps it interesting
impressive run, honestly DX is so much more fun with the bugs.
im here from game grumps and holy shit arin was right
I'm surprised there's not more comments like that
So am I!
never heard. why are you here?
To be fair that's most speedruns. Sonic games and collision don't really go too well together but most games that get speedran use a bunch of clips and whatnot. Not sure why Arin was surprised lol
Arin was right??? About what? He sucks at games, he hates sonic. Why should we give any credibility to that filthy-mouthed controller-fumbling idiotic individual?
Damn, the precision of his spindash jumps! particularly in Sky Deck!!!
I spent SO MANY hours playing this game on my dreamcast when I was 10 and it had just come out
Today I wouldn't say it's a great game but it's still a lot of fun and just as nostalgic as Sonic 2 which was my very first video game
it honestly is a great game, imo
21:50 That self-censoring. Nice.
This is my favorite Sonic game ❤
Mine as well.
12:35 I like that guy
10:28 love the running shine reference there.
My favorite speedrun
Did not know that this game was this amazing.
This stage is kinda linear...
*proceeds to skip half the stage
I recently finished this game and now i see this run and im speechless
Stop resizing the window! Bad IT
*Switch tabs to Facebook while Casinoopolis is being played*
*Suddenly at Mystic Ruins*
I did play so much this game in my childhood, is so funny.
Sonic Adventure is awesome
Exactly
Really precise and skillful speedrun
loved this run, but i really do wish they had just ported sa1 properly in the first place.
In many regards, This plays like Classic Sonic but in 3D
You ever watch a gdc and see levels you never got to?
He talks like a magician and I like it.
“ ITS A SONIC GAME “ I’m dying 😂😂
I've had this game for ten years and I have hundreds of hours on record, and I've decided to start playing this on my channel. Maybe I'll try to speedrun some time!
Emerald coast: "fairly linear level"
Runner: *jumps over a third of the stage*
Gotta love sonic for that
"imagine collision in a sonic game!"
My favorite line lmao
Thoroughly enjoyed.
Loved it. Great humor and explanations
Arin was right.... It's... Amazing
How have I played this game for so long and yet I’ve never known about that double button faster spindash
This run was also incredibly useful for getting my A mission Emblems
Love how this guy just casually narrates his run
Eggman: "Quick, ready our defenses, Sonic is coming soon"
Bad Guys: "Roger"
Sonic laying under a tree: "Oh you said my name"
Eggman: "WHAT YOUR ALREADY HERE!!!"
So many of these skips would be impossible in SRB2 because the skybox is really just a wall with a virtual texture on it, lol. New games will always fall short in awesome level design!
Taking "Gotta go fast!" to the maximum level.
48:34 Sonic's Chaos Emeralds
These are legit!
When he said “Oh no 2”, that one crowd guy should’ve said *_”OH NO NO”_*
