    Thank you soo much for showcasing the run! There isn’t another Tanner that I’d want to watch my WR more than you :)
    I’m on Twitch if y’all would like to watch more from me [ twitch.tv/nin_tanner ], and please speedrun Bowser’s Fury! It’s so fun!!
    And now, a boring correction list (don't worry, it ain't a long read):
    1. [9:34] While I don't have a number myself, 15 crouches per second sounds a bit high. I'd say 10 per second is a good mash for me.
    2. [18:35] The first time Tanner points at the floating island I manipulate with the camera, he actually pointed at the wrong one. He corrects himself a couple minutes later.
    3. [20:11] The "trash can" does not have to be defeated to unlock the Pipe Path island. In fact, you must complete the first phase of the Pipe Path and Risky Whisker islands (the two I do before the trash can) to unlock the trash can.
    4. [24:33] All Bowser fights are outside of the cycle system, not just the final battle.

      I can only make a fight occur earlier by either going from 1-5 shines faster, and/or going from 34-40 shines faster. The other fights (not accounting for possible route improvements in the future), occur ASAP.

      If you saved enough time during a segment, could you set the clock forward to trigger the next fight early?

      It's 3d world + bowsers fury, the second part in particular, it's the switch remaster or Mario 3d world on the Wii U with an extra, open world, more classic 3D Mario game as an added bonus to getting the switch version

  • Penquinn14
    Penquinn14 Month ago +155

    It's really impressive how he's able to control two characters at once so well throughout the entire run. It's also really nice that Smant was doing a commentary through it all since it really showcased just how much is actually happening in this run

      @Nebulous Vendragon It depends on the game how the camera is affected.

    • Nebulous Vendragon
      Nebulous Vendragon Month ago

      @B It moves my camera and breaks my focus cause the camera is always shaking, it's the worst when I'm aiming at something cause I can't hit weak points. This is the short version.

    I was checking if I had the video on 2x speed. You can feel the passion and I love it!
    THIS is how you are both energetic and not annoying! So many creators tend to scream into the microphone which is mostly just annoying.

  • Matt Larson

    I love this so much. You running is often fun on its own, but I love when speed runners cover other speed runners work and explain it. It's like an in the trenches play-by-play version of SpeedDocs or SummoningSalt. Perhaps a speedy Jobst. 😂

    Having a speedrunner explain what's happening in another person's speedrun is my favorite genre of video. The one where Smallant reacted to the Minecraft All Achievements run is my comfort video.

    Speed runners scare me. I can't believe some humans have this level of skill. Extremely impressive. I've done like one speed run for fun in my life, practiced, trained, spent like a month to beat it as fast as possible even learning glitches and watching world records. I still was like an hour behind the pros. This is amazing and that is so freaking cool to see this! Thanks for sharing SmallAnt

  • Gibble
    Gibble Month ago +1

    So nice that you showcase this mans run like that. Aside from it just being a really cool speedrun thats clearly very difficult to perform with the controlling 2 characters, 1 with motion controls, its nice to see big creators like ant pulling up the smaller guys. Huge respect for that!
    Congrats on the awesome run!

  • BadgerByNature
    BadgerByNature Month ago +1

    This is great, SmallAnt! I love when someone can explain so clearly what's going on - it can be very hard mid-run for the player especially during events like GDQ, it's so cool to see it broken down essentially real-time.

    Glad to see Smallant give this game another chance. The speedrun is so sick. I'd love to grind for Sub 26 someday but it would be a big mental barrier for me. (Nin) Tanner must've been really nervous and excited to VC with you and it is so deserved after how much he grinded for Sub 26.

    I think the only thing I can think of for that damage inside of Bowser's hurtbox doing more has to be how they set up the ground pound/dive damage being higher. It must hit a different hurtbox, and by hitting inside of Bowser, it triggers that hurtbox instead of the exterior, chip damage hurtbox.
