I know these records have been demolished in the ever growing speedrunning scene in the years since this video. But for me, this is the speedrunning I know and love, just a bunch of people in a room watching a legend completely obliterate a beloved game in some of the most impressive ways imaginable.
If I can be perfectly honest, I completely miss the smaller GDQ's. Been watching since the beginning and I miss the "just a group of friends being awesome" vibe. It is way too commercialized and celebrity oriented now. Feels like some bullshit Hollywood production where the point is getting publicity to grow the channels of the runners, rather than the games and the charity.
@@GhostDrow I agree on this! Been watching since AGDQ12. When speedrunners turned into so called "content creators" trying to make big money, instead of just streaming/playing/speedrunning games, that's where real speedrunning kinda died. sad
well, actually probably way more, I have almost a thousand hours in CS:GO and I don't believe I played it much, he's played this game since he was a kid actively
Watching this run again in 2020 even though I watched it live years ago. Such good times and great memories. :) Also makes me wonder where Sig is today, wherever he is I hope he's doing well! I'm sure lots of people miss his streams!!
This speedrunner did an amazing job. I was flabbergasted almost the entire time and couldn't stop watching, so addictive. And how many tricks and much depth is there to this game?! Amazing as well. I love by the way how this community seems, supporting each other and providing commentary for outside viewers as well. GREAT initiative.
This is an amazing run. It's cool to see Sigler in action. The emotions... This game is hard to speed run and I give him props for his work. Excellent work Sig. Keep it up. WR Kreygasm
This is why i have major respect for speed runners, people who stick to games and learn every inch of them and playing them over and over. I've always wanted to get into it
@@KallyNui Lol yea they are now but 2 years ago they weren't. I remember around that time I called cheese out on it on twitter asking why he doesn't do it if it is way faster, and he full came back saying it wasn't faster and not worth, then he started doing it a few months later haha
man i love this gdq stuff, the people come together to play for a good cause, and im pretty sad about this viewers who lost beloved ones to cancer, life is hard but because of a handful of people it gets better, even when you feel bad
A friend of mine lost his father due to cancer. I am proud on you guys for setting this up. I can't imagine the pain he was going through back then, and I hope that Cancer will someday be erased from this planet... or at least that there is a cure against it.
I don't think anyone that wasn't old enough to see this live will ever understand how important this run was to speedruning history. Not even just speedrunning history, but twitch and livestreaming history in general. Siglemic was the most famous speedruner in the world and 70/120 were the most popular speedrun categories in the world. He was showing up in person and showing his face to the world for the first time. And he was surrounded by many of the other most famous speedrunners in the West. It was mindblowing that this was even happening. Essentially everyone on twitch was watching this. If you went to look at the other highest viewed streams it was all just other streamers reacting to it with a facecam.
Absolutely amazing. I can hardly believe my eyes that someone can have that kind of precision and complete memory of the whole game. He did in 2 hours what took me years to actually complete in its entirety...
@@danmedeiros6676 Pretty sure the original comment was talking about how boring the run was, i think. I was saying that comment has aged poorly because back in the day people didn't like sm64 runs but now its the most ran game
Nah, they've done events for OfAR, CARE, AND DWB. Sure they would have to find a new cause for the winter event but the world has plenty of reasons for SDA to do GDQs.
Thanks for uploading these for us all to watch (i for one unfortunately missed the livestream of it. wish I knew when the next livestream will be ^^) I watch these as soon as I see them uploaded :)
big respect to these guys, i lost my gran to cancer and just to see these guys doing such a good thing puts my hope back in people. hold your head up high guys, you do the world proud.
I started watching this thinking I was gonna get bored part of the way through it, but it was so crazy I ended up watching the whole thing. I give major props to Siglemic. Less than a minute a star... That's balls to the wall!
CubingDrumz also the original post never said he was awesome simply because he donated, you added that into it, and so what if he donated $100 dollars, sounds pretty petty of me to say someone isn't as awesome, based on how much less they chose to donate at the time.
Hahahaha "if everyone high fives each other", thats a good one, these guys are doing something really wonderful, my grandmother, who died of cancer, use to love playing games with me, she'd be so proud of these guys if she were here today. Great job, I wish I hadn't missed the event, I'd give every cent I had toward the cause. *Faith in humanity restored.*
Correct me if I'm wrong, but at 41:45 does a donor say, "my sister had vaginal cancer but I still love her so much"? If I'm indeed hearing this correctly, does this donor make a presumption that vaginal cancer generally precludes a person from being loved?
I honestly have no problem with sig not saying much of what he is doing, while i appreciate knowing the tricks, i can also appreciate just watching a master perform his craft.
I thought the same thing from another video! I believe he is a member of the same soul fractal energies as Keanu. They process thought and hold energy in their voices and bodies similarly. And on top of that, they both are masters of the matrix!-one with Morpheus, and the other with Marious :)

100% this. Though induvidual runners streams can still invoke a spark of this. (See jay cee's castlevania runs on youtube!)

He knows exactly WHEN to jump, WHERE to jump, and HOW to jump.
I have never seen such feats done in a 3D environment.....
Kudos brotha.
this is the result of over 10 thousand hours of practice
VikingPotatoes
yeah
about that
+Michael Hunter lol i was going to say that
Macus Frazier well considering this game is probably his entire life, not really shocking
well, actually probably way more, I have almost a thousand hours in CS:GO and I don't believe I played it much, he's played this game since he was a kid actively
Ah the good old days ... gdq ain't like this any more
that wasn't even his best, he's record is 1:44:01 so far!
and records continue to climb today! :D

Nobody gives a fk bout likes on a youtube comment... dumb ass kid.
@@KING-hn3ht LOL
@@nintony2994 you need to fix your grammar. Thr word you made a mistake on is 'he's' instead of 'his'.
Sig is the definition of speed runner. craziest run I've ever seen.
does he have a youtube page?
Kyle Hendrickson yeah he posts a lot of single star videos, kinda to show routes for each star he does
where?
Kyle Hendrickson a link to sig's channel is linked in the video description of this video
Kyle Hendrickson pool
Man these were good times, I don't think speedrunning ever got better than this.
Siglemic's skills are too much for the eyes of some, that's why they're wearing sunglasses
Quilava his fast hand moves create an eye burning light
Quilava so true
+Quilava No they're blind, that's why they wear sunglasses.
actually they are speed runners too. from other games
I hope everyone took just a moment out of these 2 awesome hours to appreciate how gangsta Cosmo looks.
SuperAngryPacman When he was Cosmo.
Watching this run again in 2020 even though I watched it live years ago. Such good times and great memories. :) Also makes me wonder where Sig is today, wherever he is I hope he's doing well! I'm sure lots of people miss his streams!!
lol he couldn't keep up dude was getting beat by ppl who only been playing a year, he was never as good as people thought.
@@BaDMrFr0zty people like you are very likely the reason he vanished. respect what he did for the speedrunning community and shut up.
I remember being really amazed by this. Best speed run I've seen.
you guys have no idea how good that run was, I remember getting the 120 stars with a book when it first came out and it took me a few months
16-star run starts at 04:58
120-star run starts at 31:08
Good run Sigle. I also always wear sunglasses when watching speed runs.
This speedrunner did an amazing job. I was flabbergasted almost the entire time and couldn't stop watching, so addictive. And how many tricks and much depth is there to this game?! Amazing as well. I love by the way how this community seems, supporting each other and providing commentary for outside viewers as well. GREAT initiative.
we need this legend to come back to speed running! :( miss him
This is an amazing run.
It's cool to see Sigler in action.
The emotions...
This game is hard to speed run and I give him props for his work.
Excellent work Sig. Keep it up.
WR Kreygasm
this is seriously incredible. Must of took this guy so long before he became this good
I can’t even comprehend what I’m watching, the movement is amazing🤙🏼🤙🏼
I'm a mario 64 speedrunner too, but this guy puts me to shame. Hats off to Sig.
I'm actually gaping in awe, this is fascinating and wonderful to watch! And all for such a fantastic cause!
lol everyone on/beside the couch are Siglemic's bodyguards
Happy Birthday

Dat 1000 dollar donation from Notch doe. Never knew he was into Speed runs.
Maybe hes just into charity... :)
when
1:05:29 with all the strats and optimisations in 2018, I still don't know anyone who does this - both a time saver and incredibly swag strat!
Cheese has done it for awhile, others are picking it up now.
If I recall correctly, that was the OG way.
@@KallyNui Lol yea they are now but 2 years ago they weren't.

Bro even Notch himself donated to this man 18:30
I just recently watched the old SM64 run for AGDQ 120 stars and am totally ready to watch this one. Thanks for the upload guys.
Mario doesn't like Google
He likes Yahooooooo
Hahahahahahah, so brilliant
LoooooL
Lachlan Self nkjbr
;):)
Can't say I blame him, those nosy bastards! : P
Alex Mc as Mario would say after a good head-bop into a pipe-“Oof!!”
man i love this gdq stuff, the people come together to play for a good cause, and im pretty sad about this viewers who lost beloved ones to cancer, life is hard but because of a handful of people it gets better, even when you feel bad
watching this is hypnotic, the man is a machine, a wonderfull wonderfull machine
This is by far one of the greatest speed runs i have ever seen. Well done sir.
Siglemic has superhuman control over the N64 controller.
Loved the video! this guy is insane on Super Mario 64!!! and its amazing how much money you raised for the charity XD keep up the amazing work :)
Shoutouts to Trihex falling asleep
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the AGDQ speedruns. def my favorite thing to watch right now
I really hope that N64 controller was 18... :[
back then she would have been 11. Sick
Most awesome, and true comment I've read in a long time! Thank you for this! Love all these guys!
2024 - still come back to watch this...
A friend of mine lost his father due to cancer. I am proud on you guys for setting this up. I can't imagine the pain he was going through back then, and I hope that Cancer will someday be erased from this planet... or at least that there is a cure against it.
1:39:40 Lenny Kravitz starts headbanging.
+and then i said
I think he was trying to headbutt the guy in the balls
Nice to put a face to the name. I have heard of Sig's epic runs. Looking forward to this run
remember playing this as a 4 year old and didnt understand why i didnt get a star by picking up the blue one :D
Most people see this run as a casual playthrough but back then this run was top notch by the best speedrunner in the world

Absolutely amazing. I can hardly believe my eyes that someone can have that kind of precision and complete memory of the whole game. He did in 2 hours what took me years to actually complete in its entirety...
Smart. Using sunglasses so people won't tell when you fall asleep.
damn this aged poorly
@@smirfbroil6934 idk doesnt make the most sense. it's only an hour and 40 minutes and it's a hype run .. no need to fall asleep
@@danmedeiros6676 I just meant that now sm64 is the most speed ran game in the world and a lot of people love watching it
@@smirfbroil6934 um what ? you said his comment aged poorly .. how is that what you meant at all

That was just stunning. I wish I could play mario 64 like that! Sig's got crazy skills.
Without cancer we would not have this event.
Nah, they've done events for OfAR, CARE, AND DWB. Sure they would have to find a new cause for the winter event but the world has plenty of reasons for SDA to do GDQs.

Tony Silvio AQMoWTFigo, haMFiI, CKR, CinS, and FBP.
All SDA related even.
Tony Silvio Ever heard of GTFO?
***** SARCASM XDXDXD LOL
Love how the crowd gets quiet and lost in nostalgia when the SM64 credits music starts playing. :>
Dude is a literal GOD
Man I was so stoked for this run I was hyping it like Rwhitegoose "YEAH BABY YEAH"
Can't wait for AGDQ 2014 summer!
This right here’s history
Just watched Cosmo's AGDQ 2013 Windwaker run and now this.. this time feels so far away
Thanks for uploading these for us all to watch (i for one unfortunately missed the livestream of it. wish I knew when the next livestream will be ^^) I watch these as soon as I see them uploaded :)
for those wondering, 120 star run starts at 31:05
randomdudes23 thank
I remember watching this live. Seeing sig unveiled for the first time was awesome.
It starts here: 5:00
Siglemic is beast! I love this game but was never good at it lol keep up the good work crew!
1:38:10 The face that Sig makes when he sees that he gets the star and he has 99 coins. XD
God, I love this game. Even outside of speedruns. But the coordination required for even a fraction of this is insane.
I miss sig
big respect to these guys, i lost my gran to cancer and just to see these guys doing such a good thing puts my hope back in people.
hold your head up high guys, you do the world proud.
is she still dead
What ever happened to sig?
Agdq 2024 just wrapped up. I was telling my family I remember when it was a couch in a room. These are the good ol days.
Hey look it's the Zelda speedrunner from the "can you please stop" girl moment
I started watching this thinking I was gonna get bored part of the way through it, but it was so crazy I ended up watching the whole thing. I give major props to Siglemic.
Less than a minute a star... That's balls to the wall!
I can smell that room through space and time.
I love his smirk of "eff yeah, I just did that" at 14:37
Notch is really awesome!
.w.
Lewtable Yeah, everyone donated are awesome.
Lewtable i think the fact that he's the creator of minecraft helps him in his level of awesomeness
you do realize notch donated 10,000 dollars to agdq 2 months ago...
CubingDrumz also the original post never said he was awesome simply because he donated, you added that into it, and so what if he donated $100 dollars, sounds pretty petty of me to say someone isn't as awesome, based on how much less they chose to donate at the time.
Lewtable What's your point to the discussion if you think he is awesome. I though that was the whole point.
black dude in the front was too cool with his high five! I love these videos and the cause is awesome too!
Song long gay Bowser!
These Mario64 speed runners....God given talent. Nothing else.
How these guys can be so good on a game?
Spending years training or being a fucking ninja? :o
Asiatic blood xD
He's played this game for god knows how many hours.
Might even be more hours than you've spent gaming.
PrimoCurby Why not both? Spending years training to be a ninja sounds like a good idea to me.
Hahahaha "if everyone high fives each other", thats a good one, these guys are doing something really wonderful, my grandmother, who died of cancer, use to love playing games with me, she'd be so proud of these guys if she were here today. Great job, I wish I hadn't missed the event, I'd give every cent I had toward the cause. *Faith in humanity restored.*
1:08:27 When revealed the "Nice cosplay" comment was all a troll comment, I bet the Link cosplayer felt upset... ;(
This is pretty amazing. His run was almost perfect.
18:25 Notch? The maker of Minecraft Notch?
he donates to events like this for charity all the time. he once donated $2,000 for a humble bindle
slater4369 tax writeoff
Yeah, Markus Persson. Also known as Notch.
Notch donated 30,000 dollars to SGDQ this year lol
@@elmalloc It's been 5 years since your comment, have you learned how taxes work since then ?
Ohh ok. I thought it was uploaded on this channel that time =) thanks for explaination!
OMG notch donated :3
Wow, this videos take my to the time when GDQ events were just a small group of people gathering to play videogames, amazing how it has grown.
56:14 my how times have changed
That was downright mind blowing!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but at 41:45 does a donor say, "my sister had vaginal cancer but I still love her so much"?
If I'm indeed hearing this correctly, does this donor make a presumption that vaginal cancer generally precludes a person from being loved?
Haha dude i caught that too.
Back then, I didn't know jack shit about speedrunning or its community. Now I recognize twelve of the dudes in the video.
He took like 20 seconds or so while being timed to setup the file that he didn't need to be timed for.
No, for SM64 timing starts from the game loading the menu screen
Engineer Valkyrie timing starts when the power is turned on, not on the menu screen
The 16 star run was truly amazing. I can barely do a jump without killing myself lol
Makes my hands sweat just watching..
I honestly have no problem with sig not saying much of what he is doing, while i appreciate knowing the tricks, i can also appreciate just watching a master perform his craft.
Why is Lenny Kravitz there?
Definitely Lenny Kravitz
MrJifley LOL
***** 10/10
Patriots Fan smh..
Hi kevin
Couldn’t remember if I’d seen this before,checked,had...watched anyway.
The runner looks like Keanu Reeves to me :P
I thought the same thing from another video! I believe he is a member of the same soul fractal energies as Keanu. They process thought and hold energy in their voices and bodies similarly. And on top of that, they both are masters of the matrix!-one with Morpheus, and the other with Marious :)
They mentioned that in the video
Feel bad for Sig. You can tell he's a shy person and didn't like when he said they were at 40,000 views already for his warmup. His face says it all.
That one guy in the back who cant see shit.
xddd
2:17:30 Achievement unlocked, Mario Seizure, gamer score added: -500.
So many sunglasses...
was waiting for an upload for this thanks =D although have been watching it on siglemics channel anyways lolz
please let siglemic be single
Hahahaha
dont think you have to worry much about that
+Richard Owens lol
Maybe he's not but I am :)
Your really pretty in you're pic, add me?
This was amazing!
I bet there are some dry eyes behind those sunglasses
They're high af
he did this like 5 times spread over the whole marathon, which makes it even awesomer
