Next time someone makes the horrible mistake of trying to make a live action DBZ, they need to get Spike in. It'd be like a 2$ steak with premium sauce.
Easily my favorite run of the marathon and the first ever GDQ speedrun I saw in person. Hilarious and insightful. It was a blast to be there. Spike is a goddamn legend.
I think Spike just had the bad luck of having to teach it to someone who is not apt at that type of problem solving. Or least not at that time and under these circumstances.

@@Jonas_TGCW He's one of the most frequent couch members and commentators at all GDQ events, to the point of infamy. He seems to know a huge amount of games and how to speedrun them. In spite of that, he tends to very rarely run actual games.
The first time I ever saw SpikeVegeta was when he ran Donkey Kong Country Returns back in 2013. And I'm still disappointed that he hasn't run it again at GDQ since then. In fact, nobody has. DKCR deserves another round at GDQ! This run actually gives me massive DKCR @ SGDQ2013 vibes. It's so personable.
SpikeVegeta actually runs? How did it take me all these years to learn this?! I mean, it makes all the sense. But I've never seen it before. I thought he was just everybody's best friend who commentates from the couch because he has an amazing voice.
I feel like all the speedrunners somehow don't know that you can immediately rotate the kong barrels by pounding the ground right by them? obviously making cycles is the fastest, but if you miss it, you can speed it up XDD
the "inka dink" thing was amazing. Spike literally sacrificed the run just to do it for the crowd and viewers. amazing guy and hands down my favorite runner.
Spikedvegeta is his own hype man and couch lol
Straight facts LOL
spike is so goddamn charismatic, hes MADE for the stage, shame that on his own streams hes kinda "dormant" with this charisma
Came for Donkey Kong
Stayed for Picross
_"Alright, I've been told to stall!"_
Spikevegeta is like a Mr. Satan that actually lives up to the hype.

Wow we almost have the same icon
He is the hype
I AM THE HYPE

As a Picross player, I never realized Picross was that complicated until he started trying to explain it.
I think Spike just had the bad luck of having to teach it to someone who is not apt at that type of problem solving. Or least not at that time and under these circumstances.
i don't get it, and i don't even play picross
That was hard to watch, but the run was fun!
Gahd damn he's entertaining.. he does DK justice.. I love DK games, I've never seen this guy but wow, he's awesome
SpikeVegeta is a national treasure
You're missing out if you've never seen him before.
Watching SpikeVegeta is always so good and fun, I wish I could have been to the live.
And I vote for a Picross speedrun by Spike on a future GDQ
A summary of the run:
Ok I’m going to try to do this hard trick right here.
Oh didn’t get it, thats ok it’s only a few seconds.

I saw this before the video loaded and just assumed this was a joke...
What happened on the stream that caused the delay?

I love how that they time stamped this, PIC CROSS2 AT NEXT GDQ pleaae
In the end it said „PICROSS S2“ ‚Spike%‘ 😂
Spike not only won fame, but also a cool yellow shirt.
this intro was probably my favorite moments from spikevegeta
Picross full speedrun when?
Spike is the greatest. More people need to watch him speed run games on his twitch. Much love to the spike boi
Spike is an absolute professional. An EXPERT at improvising high quality live content
Holy cow, SpikeVegeta's allowed to run games at events?!?
Why not? I don't know this guy so whats so special about him?

@@k-leb4671 YASS same I love dkc r i wish that he (or even anyone for that matter run it with commentary)
This entire run / Picross is now my favorite GDQ moment ever
Going back and rewatching this because it's one of my favorite runs and it cheers me up
His energy motivates me
What an entertaining runner this guy is. Hoping to see more from him!
can't believe i'm witnessing the legendary SpikeVegeta run a game at GDQ
I legit bought picross after seeing this video.... thank you spikevegeta and GDQ, you helped me spend 10 bucks xD
I went to do the same thing but the eShop went down! T_T
Came for Tropical Freeze, stayed for Picross 2.
shout-out to Funky Kong's thighs
Amazing run and great picross 2 tutorial from Spike!
This speedrun was pretty funky...
Yellow card.
They're definitely homemade cut off jorts.
This has been my favourite GDQ vid ever for the commentary alone. At the time of this comment, I’m 3 seconds into the DK speed run 😂
I love Spikevegeta and I hope that Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Picross% becomes its own category lol
Spike is a legend. I knew coming into a SpikeVegeta run I was going to get something great, but I couldn't have hoped for something this great
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Picross2% full run when?
You only have a good run where you give a shoutout to Funky's thighs
I watch these videos when I'm going through anxiety and panic attacks
SpikeVegeta is still my favorite runner of all time and this is always my favorite game to watch at GDQ! Thanks guys
The fact that the arena of the fifth boss is rotating genuently blew my mind
Spike is so funny and so good at running that I honestly have no idea if he's bullshitting or not when he commentates his own play.
1:34:16 The camera zooms out to show the yellow cards on the floor!
Possibly the best video on UA-cam. Thanks spike and gang!
I saw this run live on twitch, and was laughing the whole time. Great job Spike! Hope they'll give you another run soon!
I love how GDQ actually puts a timecode for the Picrew 2 playthrough.
Fantastic runner, sick moves and easy to understand.
Thus is Spikevegeta. He amazing, check his twitch
Don't tell him you're not gonna stop him because he will do it. Even if only for the amusement and comedy of it all. And that's why we love him XD
Yay, Spike plays picross like I do! I feel very pleased about this. \>w
ngl this makes me want to buy Picross
there's paper versions of it too you can just draw :)
SpikeVegeta actually runs?
How did it take me all these years to learn this?! I mean, it makes all the sense. But I've never seen it before. I thought he was just everybody's best friend who commentates from the couch because he has an amazing voice.
Intense run. Those Picross strats had me on the edge of my seat.
I died when he shifted at 32:50 and revealed that the couch got yellow cards for that picross dig XD
On Wednesday, I'll be a Nintendo switch owner.
Do you own a switch now
Imagine watching the stream and it goes out, but when it goes back on Spike's playing Picross lmao
Great.... Now I have to download and try this sorcery known as Picross
this dude was hilarious! what a fun run!
"shoutouts to funky kong's thighs" :D
SpikeVegeta2 the absolute mad lad just starts playing picross
I feel like SpikeVegeta is like the Bob Ross of talking.
Wholesome-hype! :)
Well, i guess i'm buying Picross.
You know its a good run when theres a timestamp for picross 2 in this tropical freeze run
Spike vamping for 7 minutes and then just playing piccross is LEGENDARY
I think gdqx May be my favorite gdq event 😊
Jesus christ I love SpikeVegeta attitude at 3am.
59:35 *YELLOW POST-IT NOTE HAS ENTERED THE GAME*
I would like to issue a thank you to Spike for introducing me to Picross. I love it now.
I know I'm a little late to the party, but man, when Armor Picross 2 dropped on Addicting Games, I was on that shit 27/7.
Oh my god all of that Picross stuff literally killed me
I thought the 2020 Pokemon Shield run was complete chaos, now that I've watched this... there's competition
One, Two, Three, Four, Fourteen... Nice jump there, Spike ( 15:25 or thereabouts )
The fact that UA-cam didn't show Titanfall 2 as a recommended video is a shame.
Picross randomizer: ultimate future GDQ stretch goal
As a speedrunner of Picross S2, I approve
i like how they include times for picross and the jorts
I think this is the first time ever seen Spike doing a run!
I love all the shenanigans at the start
1:10:14 Respect + for stopping the run and seeing this cutscene.
Spikevegeta should run more games
Spike’s the kind of guy who you just want to be buddies with lol
beautiful run and i love everyone involved already. the thumbnail terrifies me tho
Damn I really wanna replay this game now
CURSED INTRO

Entertaining run, let’s get a Picross race next time.
the "inka dink" thing was amazing. Spike literally sacrificed the run just to do it for the crowd and viewers. amazing guy and hands down my favorite runner.
based spike
DK travels through Northrend to confront Arthus
This dude is great. So funny.
I'm here for the Picross run.

GDQ: New Spikevegeta mode

Why did he keep getting yellow cards?
'thats a pretty nice fro"
Fro sho
It looks like someone was throwing slice cheese at them. 40:00
Am I the only one miffed at the fact that he called Seigward of Catarina, "Havel"? 1:57:18
Picross for Smash!
Picross is the best - y'all should play it! :)
i love spikevegeta
I like him he's funny as he'll xD
spike.....your going to have to carry that weight
Bang
best picross speedrun
22:42 back in the old days. I used to discover that trick along with a few other tricks. I had the wr taken 6 times and got it 6 times
I don't get why he gets those yellow postits. Can somebody please explain?
