    This is undoubtedly the best speedrun I saw in my entire. The amount, the level of technical details allied with precision and dexterity, that is, for me, the very essence and soul of speedrunning a game.
    It's my humble opinion, but I'm kinda tired of zips, glitches and out of bound stuff. For me, speedrunning it's all about pristine execution and technical details. And I'm frankly surprised to find this in a Pokemon game, of all RPGs, shooters, beat’em up, and so on, type of games out there.

    41:55 scary foreshadowing on that Meditite fight:
    Getting confused from Confusion first try (1/10 chance), then Meditite using 4 Confusions back to back (1/256), on top of 2 consecutive self hits from being confused (1/4) for a grand total of 1/10240 probability; or approximately a 0.01% chance. You basically just watched the physical manifestation of the 0.01% of germs.
    Edit: On top of that, due to Meditite using Bind his Wingull didn't get killed when he swapped it in, so he had to split exp with it. So it was even worse luck than that.

    I really enjoyed agdq and pokemon speedruns because there is so much thought progress behind it, most of it which we can not even see.
    Also, because the community seems so great, fun and relaxed.
    Sadly, i started reading comments.
    1. Big parts of this game can not be manipulated or not worth manipulating. Which means, its sometimes based on luck. To all the ppl saying it was a bad run, could have been faster or was bad executed. Gunnermaniac is insane when it comes to adapting to the situations. I watched a lot of runs from him and when something didnt go as planned, he comes up with crazy back up plans u only know out of genius and expirience.
    So to all the haters: He hold the world record, he did an amazing job even though of bad luck, and maybe he had a few missteps, but he was playing for a lot of ppl in a room while beeing watched and mistakes do happen to the best of us, thats mostly how we improve.
    2. I dont know if the announcer lady is getting paid or not, but let her be. I thought she did her best reading those comments in a fun and euphoric way, and she didnt stop doing stuff cause it was emberassing for the good cause. It happens that sometimes we blank out. Even though if this was a world record run it would be pretty annoying that she didnt have the name for the pokemon, no reason to hate for one mistake. Also, it wasnt. All good here.
    3. For the ppl saying that the couch is boring or that Shen is sweaty.
    They are mostly introverted, so its quite hard for them to be open talkative in such an enviroment. And if u cant enjoy it, dont hate. Also, Shen is a great and fun guy, and if u watched other runs where he sits on the couch or he runs, he is awesome, funny and imformative.
    I think if you sat there with cameras all over ur face and start sweating hard, you would also feel really uncomfortable and not be able to speak to much. I think he did best in the situation and tried.
    Sometimes u sweat when ur nervous. I also saw it, but i just felt bad to worse to him, imagining how most of us would feel in this situation. NO REASON TO HATE.
