You gotta hand it to Clayton--when faced with an ape-man, a magic duck, and a Japanese boy handing him a royal beatdown with a giant key, Clayton chooses to stand and fight... and win.
In my chemistry class, we were talking about cholesterol levels and I brought up the fact that Gaston eats four dozen eggs and the instructor said that Gaston would be dead before the day ended.
They need to run KH at every GDQ. The community always provides informative and entertaining commentary, the Disney songs are entertaining enough, and the runs are highly technical and intense. I watch speedrunning for the glitches, but KH is the exception to that rule.
Seems this one was accidentally uploaded twice. Unless this one was intentionally uploaded with TWENTY-THREE SECONDS OF NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN FOOTAGE, then it was one of the first uploaded on this set of runs.
+Youa Numbah Oneah Racist All videos are fixed up after the event. Reasons include: 1) Fixing technical issues if possible, such as the echoing audio on the uploads for several runs early in the event. 2) Normalizing the audio track. Most runs will end up being louder. 3) Removing the takeover ads played during setup times. 4) Adding title cards, including run, category, runners, and an approximate time when the run starts. 5) Putting interviews with the run they belong with, as sometimes there was a schedule gap (the Super Mario Kart interview was done before Diddy Kong Racing, for example).
BEHIND THE SCENES INFORMATION, folks. Guess if it's been done before, I've never seen it happen. Thanks for the personalized(I assume not form letterized) response.
+Youa Numbah Oneah Racist It's been done this way in some form since AGDQ2015. SGDQ2015 was the first time the runs were uploaded during the event as rough copies, with fixed up versions in the weeks after the event. It's our plan to continue doing so for the future.
Anyone else get chills in the beginning of the run when SpikeVegeta was naming some of the runners? It's amazing how big this community is and will always be something I look forward to every GDQ
Only found out about AGDQ in Jan 2017and just found this now as I was about to finish my first ever play through of KH1. Incredible to see. These guys blast through a game I've just been battering my head against (although I was grateful to learn just how OP Air combos are!)
Chris Leung if your talking about the chernabog fight then yes it works the glitch is usable once you have geni and on any boss you have your allies the catch is its better at lower levels because of the world scaling bringing your damage up
It’s pretty funny that this game enforces it’s theme of friendship pretty great through gameplay, but speed running completely flips that and the party members are an obstacle.
It's such a shame they would have to worry about copyright issues from "Simple and Clean" on a well known and respected Charity that has raised millions to help fight cancer. Keep on fighting the good fight!
This is my favorite speedrun. Love how there are no glitches, no questionable skips or boundary breaks. This is a legit run with nothing abused but the knowledge and skill needed. One of few runs where I want to stay for the whole thing Edit: also their sense of humor is actually funny and entertaining, and singing was also great
This is exciting to watch because Kingdom Hearts would always take me foreverrrr to figure out where to go and what I needed to do haha, but it’s a fun game
tom wagner You have to realize the the runners and commentators are there to enjoy a fun week with friends, and not really for the charity work. It also makes more sense once you think about the fact that they don't know which donations are going to have heartfelt messages and which ones are simply going to be another unoriginal joke about killing animals.
Zachary Henke I see what you're saying for the most part. different runners and commentators have different styles when it comes to the balance between their patter and event related stuff. given who it was it could have been way worse, so fair enough.
I know this is so late, but in addition, the couch needs to be paying attention to what's going on because they're supposed to be able to tell the audience what the actual runner is doing. It was very poorly timed though. And I wish he had just waited. He knew they were reading out donations. But there's also the possibility that he just said something habitually/got excited and jumped the gun. Sorry again I know your comment is already a month old >_
Holy shit, what is it with all this negativity towards the singing portions? All of them did a great job for doing this live without even knowing the words by heart. Jfc people chill, it is neither cringey nor is it totally out of place, this is partly a Disney game after all.
I did not own a PS3, and I never played 1.5, but I played KH1 on PS2. When I saw this, I assumed it would be impossible because the cutscenes were completely unskippable, but now that they added this to where you can skip, it's like square enix waited all this time to finally make the cutscenes skippable
Every time I see someone play this game, at about 9:46 all I can hear is Crash going "Woah!" followed by a bad MIDI of the following music. I think I've been watching too much OneyPlays.
+Lynx They added a title card at the beginning, and may have cleaned up minor details (I couldn't point them out to you, though). You'll see almost every video from AGDQ 2016 get uploaded multiple times as they build the final playlist.
Never thought about this game that deep. If you don't seal the keyhole in certain worlds, you have to do those terminals at EotW right? The thing is, Destiny Islands is also in EotW, because it succumed to darkness. Basically, you neglected those worlds, and now they've been sucked in by the darkness.
Chimchompat they have already done all of the good games. I would like to see a relay/race of some sort but that would take a very long time. Maybe 1.5 beginner.
Is this the current WR for this category? I'm trying to find it on speedrun.com, but the fastest time on the website is like 6 hours, and I know most Speedrunner can finish it under 3:30:00
There's a glitch with EXP Zero where the game saves the power of your last physical attack and applies it to any magic/summon damage you do, which causes multi-hit barrages like Genie and Mushu to do loads of damage if your last attack was a finisher. I assume it only exists because of the way EXP Zero has to affect damage numbers so you're not dealing chip/instantly dying to most enemies and bosses past a certain point.
Love the run, but wouldn't it been faster to play the Japanese ps2 version of final mix? Since the loading times are shorter(to my knowledge at least)?
I just watched this yesterday, and when I got to Halloween Town, I wanted to use the community jumps. Except I can't. Because Square patched out the first bit of house you have to jump on. There's just roots dangling out the side of the tower there in the Greatest Hits copy of the game.
58:10 I'll make a man out of you
1:01:55 Gaston
1:11:12 Let It Go
1:27:12 A Whole New World
1:30:07 Go the Distance
you the real MVP of the comment section
Thanks
I come here exactly for this - thanks!
LMAO
LOL A whole New World was great.
Love you Spike, making these runs all the more enjoyable.
As soon the commentary started I could tell this was going to be an amazing run.
You gotta hand it to Clayton--when faced with an ape-man, a magic duck, and a Japanese boy handing him a royal beatdown with a giant key, Clayton chooses to stand and fight... and win.
Taylor Bayless he also shot Zora's dumb ass
Taylor Bayless oh wait XD ape-man tarzan. Somehow I forgot Tarzan was a part of that world.
Nancy Christman Yeah, I always forget that Tarzan is in Jungle Book too don't worry
Lam/CheekyGamer you know that world is based on the movie Tarzan, right? Or was that just you being facetious, and i'm just stupid?
Carla Lefeaux I don't know what facetious means but probably
3:28:22
Am i the first to find you and already watch you yay i love your content keep it up if you happen to see this
00:08:35 for run start and 00:12:03 for after intro start.
who wants to skip dat intro tho? :D
when you walk away
you don't hear me say
+hank hill pleeeease
+hank hill since they're talking through it and everyone knows that the runners and casters can sing better ;)
"NO CLAPPING IN BETWEEN, IT'LL TAKE TWENTY MINUTES!"
That "Go The Distance" rendition was great! :D
Thanks Zetris! Your strats got me the speedrun trophy for KH1 :D
In my chemistry class, we were talking about cholesterol levels and I brought up the fact that Gaston eats four dozen eggs and the instructor said that Gaston would be dead before the day ended.
Toasty Waffels LEL
Technically, that's when he was a boy. He eats 60 now.
That information has since been proven false. Eggs are safe.
J Davis They're safe as long as you don't eat four dozens of them a day.
Mewtwo332 Eggs were thought to contain bad cholesterol in the yolkes. That has since been scrutinized.
Favorite run of gdq this year!
Any run with SpikeVegeta on the mic makes me wanna watch it.
Indubitably
They need to run KH at every GDQ. The community always provides informative and entertaining commentary, the Disney songs are entertaining enough, and the runs are highly technical and intense.
I watch speedrunning for the glitches, but KH is the exception to that rule.

+gozinta82 Our policy is that nobody other than runners are allowed to upload our event footage since SGDQ2015.
+Youa Numbah Oneah Racist It's been done this way in some form since AGDQ2015. SGDQ2015 was the first time the runs were uploaded during the event as rough copies, with fixed up versions in the weeks after the event. It's our plan to continue doing so for the future.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX Battle Director's Cut Demo Disc & Knuckles (Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series)
That hold during Gaston alone should be a highlight for AGDQ 2016.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the best run of AGDQ. Proud of the guys for stepping up yet again.
but the agdq 2015 threeway
shadow
proud
was that intentional?
Anyone else get chills in the beginning of the run when SpikeVegeta was naming some of the runners? It's amazing how big this community is and will always be something I look forward to every GDQ

beaktastic just wait until you get to KH2, critical mode is Hell.
A Whole New World was honestly the cutest and sweetest thing I have ever seen it was like they were singing to each other :D
I love this run so much! Helped me a lot when I need to replay KH 1 as fast as I can.
Wow... 26 minutes and already in wonderland. I wasn't even off the island 😂😂😂.
Also, Xem's singing voice is great!
I never realized Mushu was so OP
I need to use summons more.
i think it owned because of exp zero glitch. not that mushu is bad tho ;)
Chris Leung if your talking about the chernabog fight then yes it works the glitch is usable once you have geni and on any boss you have your allies the catch is its better at lower levels because of the world scaling bringing your damage up
1:01:55 for Gaston, really the only important part.
Supreme LewdMom Yaomomodido, Mom of Everything Lewd unless you are a fan of the series.
The Kingdom Hearts intro is just so .. _delightfully_ Japanese.
thats square enix for you.
this is an extremely late reply
10/10
In fact, this run lifted my care and interest in the series.
I know it's a mess plot-wise, but. I'll manage it
***** That's funny, because I'm actually into BlazBlue.
But yeah, pretty much that's the story with every game that Arc System Works has created
The plot is fun, but the highlight is the combat system, the worlds and the boss fights. ESPECIALLY in KH2.
It’s pretty funny that this game enforces it’s theme of friendship pretty great through gameplay, but speed running completely flips that and the party members are an obstacle.
Got goose bumps during "Gaston" great job guys.
It's such a shame they would have to worry about copyright issues from "Simple and Clean" on a well known and respected Charity that has raised millions to help fight cancer. Keep on fighting the good fight!
>the little island rock things at the start of end of the world are arrows
my entire life is a lie
MVP at using the slow mo for cool poses
50:05 I didn't know dropping from that rope spawns you at the cliff! Shortcut I never knew!
Bloodybizkit and whoever the lady's singing with him during "A Whole New World" are actually really good lol
Interesting fact: the agrabah world marks the only times in the game where Sora uses his actual keyblade to unlock doors! Other than that it’s beams.
2015: kingdom hearts 3 announced!
2017: KINGDOM HEARTS 1.5+2.5 HD reMIX PS4 EDITION!!!!
#EasyMoney
all time most beloved and enjoyed game!!!
1:13:00 Great run so far. Love them speed runs, especially since I played so little as I was growing up.
This is my favorite speedrun. Love how there are no glitches, no questionable skips or boundary breaks. This is a legit run with nothing abused but the knowledge and skill needed. One of few runs where I want to stay for the whole thing
Edit: also their sense of humor is actually funny and entertaining, and singing was also great
I wonder how much time the PS4 version can save since loading times, transitions, drive forms etc so much faster
This is exciting to watch because Kingdom Hearts would always take me foreverrrr to figure out where to go and what I needed to do haha, but it’s a fun game
WOW!! I'm surprised how good of singers they are!!!
Sephiroth fight at 3:28:35
2:28:35 "yo sorry for talking over your story about your dead mom, I just had to make a dumb reference that no one laughed at but me"
More than likely he wasn't listening to the donation, so it's not really ill willed (which is what the tone of your comment makes it sound like).
Zachary Henke not ill willed exactly, just self absorbed, which would be confirmed if you're right.
tom wagner You have to realize the the runners and commentators are there to enjoy a fun week with friends, and not really for the charity work.

Makes me want to play the game again!
Liked for spike vegeta monologue at the beginning
2:41:05 love the genuine shock reaction to getting that skip, great run
Gaston was top tier. Good on 'em.
Holy shit, what is it with all this negativity towards the singing portions? All of them did a great job for doing this live without even knowing the words by heart. Jfc people chill, it is neither cringey nor is it totally out of place, this is partly a Disney game after all.
At around the 1:07:00 mark, does anyone know what the dudes in the background are chanting? I can't quite hear them.
Gotta love the KH speedrunning community
awesome speedrun guys ❤️
10/10 run. Very entertaining!
1:20:23 PULL YOURSELF TOGATHER
Biggest respect to this runner... Running one of my favorite games in such a short time it's simply great to see someone that good
awesome speedrun guys :D
Oh yeah! Can't wait to watch this hahaha
3:16:55 for nerdgasm
wow awesome speedrun guys ^.^
I just spent like 30 minutes trying to learn about the dawn midday dusk stuff to try to learn from it’s game design / narrative design.
Amazing musical talent.
holy shit bloodybizkit and the dude who sang go the distance have some incredible voices
I did not own a PS3, and I never played 1.5, but I played KH1 on PS2. When I saw this, I assumed it would be impossible because the cutscenes were completely unskippable, but now that they added this to where you can skip, it's like square enix waited all this time to finally make the cutscenes skippable
LOL that guy in the audience that shouted Gaston after the song ended
I love how the whole time they're like: Oh, good, Goofy's stuck. Hopefully Donald dies, etc.
the guy with the afro is the best fuckin speedrunner i love every video he's in
What is the EXP 0 trick on the Dragon in the end of the game???
whole new world was amazing
LOL I'm trying my hardest and I'm 1:30 minutes into the game and I'm still in Traverse Town.
Every time I see someone play this game, at about 9:46 all I can hear is Crash going "Woah!" followed by a bad MIDI of the following music.
I think I've been watching too much OneyPlays.
Gyet em Eddie Murphy!!
Lol, that part was great.
Guys how mushu can damge? What's ring?
Isn’t it weird hearing the unfamiliar Japanese voices with the familiar combat music?
Noticed this at 49:20
holy shit the guy who sang Go the Distance is so good tho
the guy that sang i can go the distance is a god
Is it ever worth to set Donald and Goofys patterns in the menus in any KH speedrun?
1:27:12 A Whole New World
Who is the main commentator with the fro? Has he got a twitter? He's cool af
Spikevegeta is his name
How comes more videos are being uploaded? I know the fixed videos needed to be uploaded but this was already uploaded so why upload twice?
+Lynx They added a title card at the beginning, and may have cleaned up minor details (I couldn't point them out to you, though). You'll see almost every video from AGDQ 2016 get uploaded multiple times as they build the final playlist.

OMG!!! DAT SINGING DOE!!!!
"I've got you in my sights" - Soilder 76
3:08:55
3:14:24
3:24:51 " GET 'EM EDDIE MURPHY!" - (person who said it here)
are they ever doing another KH run at an AGDQ event? They didnt do one at SGDQ 2016 and I didn't see it on the schedule for AGDQ 2017
Chimchompat they have already done all of the good games. I would like to see a relay/race of some sort but that would take a very long time. Maybe 1.5 beginner.
Chimchompat They will be running Kingdom Hearts next week on RPG Limit Break. Biz will run 2FM.
PlasmaFlareon no he is not
DemoLegends ??? i saw it on the schedule... sat 14th
PlasmaFlareon There is no KH this AGDQ
what was the glitch
Is this the current WR for this category? I'm trying to find it on speedrun.com, but the fastest time on the website is like 6 hours, and I know most Speedrunner can finish it under 3:30:00
Anthony S Thats for KHFM on ps2. This is KHFMHD, where cutscenes can be skipped the first time around, making the run significantly shorter.
2:47:44 what does the dude yell to spike?
"Spike, stop being so bad!"
anyone else notice the game clip at 3:33:25 ?
how did he get a DMG boost? is that what NO EXP does?
58:10 to make a man out of yourself
The Gaston part is the only song that is worth seeing
That Hook fight was too intense, I was so nervous for him when that second blizzard whiffed.
What does the exp zero do other than not letting you get exp? I missed it when they brought it up and can't find when they explained it first.
There's a glitch with EXP Zero where the game saves the power of your last physical attack and applies it to any magic/summon damage you do, which causes multi-hit barrages like Genie and Mushu to do loads of damage if your last attack was a finisher. I assume it only exists because of the way EXP Zero has to affect damage numbers so you're not dealing chip/instantly dying to most enemies and bosses past a certain point.
Love the run, but wouldn't it been faster to play the Japanese ps2 version of final mix? Since the loading times are shorter(to my knowledge at least)?
there is no EXP zero that saving your time... Also no cutscene skip until PS3 port.. WR for PS2 version is 5 hours because no cutscene skip
shoutout to my boy spikevegeta, you da man
I just watched this yesterday, and when I got to Halloween Town, I wanted to use the community jumps. Except I can't. Because Square patched out the first bit of house you have to jump on. There's just roots dangling out the side of the tower there in the Greatest Hits copy of the game.
what is the girl who sang Let it Go's name?
Nice run =]
what was the name of the funny guy that sings Gaston
I think you're asking about SpikeVegeta. If not him, you're thinking of Xem92.
Gaston was +1 SUB. Great Run! Better Sound Track!
I would love to see more platforming in future KH games... By that I mean good platforming.
