      I came here to make a similar reply, but you said it very well.
      There are no "tricks" with a run like this, no out-of-bounds glitches to skip levels, nothing easy... just raw skill. The kind of skill that can only be gained by playing the same game for 30+ years, and seeing all that practice in action was fantastic to watch. Easily my favorite run of this years first quarter GDQ.

    • @JuggoJuggo
      @JuggoJuggo 4 місяці тому

      Watch some Castlevania speedruns, not the classic ones, the metroidvania ones, lots of live reaction and button pushing that would make a fighting game pro say WTH. I like the skill based speedruns too, this one is awesome.

    @methamphetamelon 6 місяців тому +60

    31:26 - the "3 balloons" is actually a brick representation of the arcade version's 3 ball enemy, as they are tri-colored there (and do their own Disrupt when hit) vs the NES single colored ones.

    • @Bimshwel
      @Bimshwel 6 місяців тому +4

      I am glad someone else said that! I was worried about seeming pedantic when adding "ironic that this level would be exclusive to a version of the game where the object does not look like that"

    • @jeremyabbott4537
      @jeremyabbott4537 5 місяців тому

      It reminded me of the talisman item in Castlevania SOTN, but that was made by Konami not Taito, so I doubt it is a reference.

    The arcade version's circle dial was a thing of beauty. It was heavy, yet smooth. I loved this game because of the dial, and the sounds!

    Arkanoid memories... Around 1988 or 1989 I was a salesman, working "up country" in British Columbia. Lot of long drives between small towns. In Williams Lake they had an arcade, and an Arkanoid. They also sold ice cream for 25 cents (one scoop). So I bought an ice cream, then put in a quarter, and finished the game. A few days later I came back through Williams Lake and made a special stop at the arcade again. Got my ice cream, put in my quarter and overheard someone behind me say "That's the guy!". Love this game.

    GDQ truly brings out the best in video game speedruns. This one was unexpected. I saw that there was arcanoid on GDQ and thought to myself that this would have to be impressive. Absolute legend. Very fun to watch. Great execution and great commentary. Glad to see that GDQ is still going strong so many years later.

    I grew up playing Arkanoid (and Marble Madness) on an Amiga 500 and this brings back fond memories of being completed housed by those incredibly challenging games. I did a double take when I saw an Arkanoid speed run and had to watch. I was flabbergasted by the amazing skill of CJ and the awesome commentary. What a run!

    Hardest NES games considered by normal players - Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads. Meanwhile a much harder game was done live during AGDQ. Speedrun or not but this game is super tough for clear. Excellent run with a lot of extremely precise moves!

    A friend of mine had this game as a kid, complete with the paddle controller. For some reason, he couldn't move the paddle all the way to the right, so whenever he triggered a warp, he had to grab an extend power up to be big enough to reach the warp on the right.
