When we're listening in on the KH2 side it's always Jhobz calmly explaining the fight "Ok, you're gonna do this bit, then when this happens you use this spell for a bit" and then as soon as it swaps to the Pokemon side it's just "WOO! WE GOT A BADGE!!!" Duality of man.
It's extra funny because Keiz and Spike are both pretty loud and enthusiastic while Hobz and Etchy are both pretty quiet and reserved. The pairing really amplifies their differences. I'd love to watch more of these four together. Maybe with Etchy and Spike as the coaches
That'd be pretty cool. Though, I'd settle for reversed audio as well, since then we'd still hear what the other side was saying when they weren't the broadcast.
Yeah i honestly would have preferred if these were standalone, putting them together doesn't really seem to add much other than have a ton of visual noise on the screen.
Edit: did not notice the audio was swapping, I thought everyone was talking XD. This might actually have been locally recorded for both sides now that I noticed that If it wasn't recorded on each restream locally then it would probably be really hard if not impossible :( There's at least 6 audio outputs im seeing i would not envy the person who could pull all that apart lol.
This has been a sick series so far, watched it since the original KH2/Crystal race that started it off and this has been a wild ride. Great teachers with new faces just makes this so much more interesting content too. It really helps you get into the idea that you *can* ask other speedrunners to show you how to get into other games. The community is so great and I love it.
Jhobz side: "So youre going to do something very technical here and pause get rid of your mp use this limit command.." Audio switches Spike: "Bleh -bleh blep!" 2:47:41 for reference
lol I love the difference energy level between the two sides switching between Hobz and Etchy being all chill and then it switches to Keiz and Spike yelling at pokemon
So ive been watching TFS for a few months now but ive got to say this last month has possibly been my favourite episodes its been great to see you guys coach each other through games that the other hasn't really had any real experience with. Keep up the great work guys.
As someone who can't watch this live (not always) because of the timezone, I am so glad you guys upload this. Also I want to say, I absolutely love this series and would even love to see a 'The First Step - Second Run' categorie, where we can see Keiz play KH2 again and Hobz Pkmn again. One thing I would love to stress, if this would be 2 seperate youtube videos I would absolutely love this
This last month has been pretty bonkers. Can't wait for this finale. Should be good. Edit: Also, I found the randomizer that they use for the Crystal side and set up a rando for myself. Other than it not randomizing the dex and pokegear, it's ben pretty well mixed... Which of course meant that I had to do the back way into the second half of Johto, just like Spike did, which I thought was hilarious, since I found that out a bit after Keiz said it, haha.
This was really fun to watch. Only downside to doing it this way was to only be able to hear one team, so I mainly was able to focus on where the audio was at that time. But otherwise it would’ve been a bit too confusing and nobody watching had any idea on what was going on 😅
I'd personally love to see what these two can do if they went back to Monster Hunter Stories 2 doing a monthly format again for that. But also, what if...The two of them and maybe one or two others, doing a team based run in something like Divinity Original Sin 2 or an MMO like Guild Wars 2? I imagine madness but also I think would be hella fun to see those two games played with this cast of characters. Both of which would just be, see how far they can get as a team I imagine as the Speedrun of Guild Wars 2 by the looks of it is just raids and dungeons with Map Completion being an option as well.
We've done quite a few co-op runs in the past; you can find our past runs in The First Step playlist on the GDQ UA-cam channel. I don't want to give everything away, but stay tuned and there may be more co-op runs in store before the end of the year ;)
@@JHobzStreams Oh yeah I've seen a lot of your co-op runs but wasn't sure on the ones I suggested as they seem like they could be a bit long winded compared to what you guys usually do. But thought it'd be fun to at least pitch it. Can't wait for more co-op stuff. :D
The last month has made me itch to play Crystal KIR and today i did my first run. 4 hour time (IGT) is not bad (especially because i didnt get fly until the last half hour or so)
Great series! Would you consider one last race? Keiz+Etchi KH2 rando VS JHobz+Spike Crystal rando. Just to see what everyone has learned and whether they can complete a seed without pro support and explanations. Could end up being incredibly chaotic...but also fun :D
Where can we get this Crystal Randomised file (with all the neat little programs and guides), if we want to start learning how to speedrun the game? I've loved watching this series evolve and grow over the last month, it's so cool!
wow circle of life keyblade in the pridelands. I had to slow down the video to 0.25 time speed but I caught for a split second that spike had removed a lemonade from electabuzz. also shout-outs to his god-like rng in pokemon crystal
Surprised by how great this was in spite of the format. I expected it to sound like a mess, but honestly it was super well done. Not sure if that is because the audio guy did a good job of switching at good times, because Randomizers generally end up being the same thing where it is just trying to fill air time with banter/random info between reacting to what is being found, or a combo of both.
What are the Crystal randomizer settings getting used here? When I set mine up the Pokedex/Pokegear/etc didn't get randomized even though about everything else did
Is there a way to get this released with just Keiz and Spikes side and then one with just Etchy and Hobzs side. I'd like to hear some of the banter that goes on while the other side was live
Alright, so I've been watching this series for weeks and have tried to do my own Crystal Key Items Rando because it looks really fun, but I can't figure out how to do it for the life of me! I've downloaded the speed choice ROM, Pokemon randomizer and Key item randomizer. I'm able to get the pokemon randomized no problem, then I run that randomized ROM through the Key Items randomizer and save that file, but whenever I try to start that file all the Pokemon are randomized but the items are not! Anybody have any advice on what I'm doing wrong?
I could almost see this format as its own show. Bring us experienced runners who pick their champion and teach them their way to victory

I would love 2 separate full audio versions of this, if that's even possible.
That'd be pretty cool. Though, I'd settle for reversed audio as well, since then we'd still hear what the other side was saying when they weren't the broadcast.
I second the motion
Definitely agreed!

the first step has been these randomizer runs for a while but watching this grow has been so worth it
Jhobz side: "So youre going to do something very technical here and pause get rid of your mp use this limit command.."
Audio switches
Spike: "Bleh -bleh blep!"
2:47:41 for reference
lol I love the difference energy level between the two sides switching between Hobz and Etchy being all chill and then it switches to Keiz and Spike yelling at pokemon
0:25:50 Spike out of control biking in circles past a spinner 4+ times and not getting seen 😂
So ive been watching TFS for a few months now but ive got to say this last month has possibly been my favourite episodes its been great to see you guys coach each other through games that the other hasn't really had any real experience with. Keep up the great work guys.
The money part is hilarious 😂
Mom probably was like: „damn it child, make up your mind!“ 😂
This is my favorite gdq arc

the contrast between the dudebro energy on the crystal side and then jhobz very calmly explaining how to play kh2 on the kh side is killing me
I wish we could have heard more of Keiz and Spike, they looked like they were having so much fun.
Props to the people who did the audio on this one. Must have been quiet the headache to figure out :D

They've been using some version of Extreme Key Item Rando settings for TFS this month
It's kinda great watching Spike fly around the map on a clam 😆
This was really fun to watch.
Only downside to doing it this way was to only be able to hear one team, so I mainly was able to focus on where the audio was at that time. But otherwise it would’ve been a bit too confusing and nobody watching had any idea on what was going on 😅
I’m impressed! Y’all managed to outdo the last video with this one! This whole month has been a blast to follow - thanks for the content :)
Too bad the Ansem Reports were off since he had something like half of them within half an hour.
This was a great concept, and both runners and coaches did great!
Very entertaining to see it all go down!
always love watching kh2 runs.
Everyone seems to be having a good time playing some randos and that's what it's all about.
GG's

is there any way we could get these two isolated separately?? loved this and would watch both
Looking very forward to this! Thanks
Spike and Keiz's run was truly...SHOCKIN
The last month has made me itch to play Crystal KIR and today i did my first run. 4 hour time (IGT) is not bad (especially because i didnt get fly until the last half hour or so)
I like how new things were seen on both sides
the saga of mum and the money made this iconic
Great series! Would you consider one last race? Keiz+Etchi KH2 rando VS JHobz+Spike Crystal rando. Just to see what everyone has learned and whether they can complete a seed without pro support and explanations. Could end up being incredibly chaotic...but also fun :D

"I see SpikeVegeta in the thumbnail - clicks on video". ; D
wow circle of life keyblade in the pridelands. I had to slow down the video to 0.25 time speed but I caught for a split second that spike had removed a lemonade from electabuzz. also shout-outs to his god-like rng in pokemon crystal
Love these videos
This is a super fun run!
I can't find the crystal rom
Surprised by how great this was in spite of the format. I expected it to sound like a mess, but honestly it was super well done. Not sure if that is because the audio guy did a good job of switching at good times, because Randomizers generally end up being the same thing where it is just trying to fill air time with banter/random info between reacting to what is being found, or a combo of both.
what do they use to randomize the key items in crystal?
Keiz and spike vs mom = lmfao
Mom is best boss
What are the Crystal randomizer settings getting used here? When I set mine up the Pokedex/Pokegear/etc didn't get randomized even though about everything else did
Change the settings from standard to tricky.
Is there a way to get this released with just Keiz and Spikes side and then one with just Etchy and Hobzs side. I'd like to hear some of the banter that goes on while the other side was live
Spike could not say no to his Mom!!
Can I ask to those who knows, in Pokemon randomizer can you really use fly to anyone? Or it is just because of the version?
They changed the randomizer settings to tm/hm full compatibility
Alright, so I've been watching this series for weeks and have tried to do my own Crystal Key Items Rando because it looks really fun, but I can't figure out how to do it for the life of me!
I've downloaded the speed choice ROM, Pokemon randomizer and Key item randomizer.

Anybody have any advice on what I'm doing wrong?
You have to name the file something else for some reason. You can't just overwrite the file you already have.
Where did you get the key item randomizer?
I didn't even see, what was Spike's HM pokemon? I know it was given with a nickname so I never saw what it actually was.
thats a spearow! kenya can be found in goldenrod pretty early into vanilla crystal
It got randomized to a Corsola right?
1:28:23 "right..."
"left"
That poor shiny weedle
Should be old game October then new game November.
2:22:04
Right team is black
Left team is blue
Nobody cares
About Gen 2
i loved the dual coaching, but the audio swaps were a little jarring lol
that KH seed was annoying
When you get final form through level up and don't even realize it 🤣 1:28:13 was glorious lol
