Amazing commentary. Get this guy on everything :)

This is probably one of the best examples of commentary during a run - not obnoxious, not too stiff nor trying to (unsuccessfully) be funny. Just pure information while the runner focuses on the game. This needs to be the mold for every run. Don't try to force the humor; if the game/bugs or the runner are silly enough to be funny, then it'll come naturally.

The play by play was the best I've ever seen. I love when he commentates. Plus this game gave me nightmares as a kid. Well done.

This commentary is REALLY good!!!! I enjoyed it alot :D

I love how they talk about the game like it's a science project. This took me back to my childhood and the many many hours I spent jumping and dying in this game. Every piece of post-it and note paper in my room had one of those goddamn save codes written on it. XD

I loved the commentary; it was very informative. This was a really good speed run too. :D

I was so rapt and impressed by the high quality commentary that I almost didn't notice Dusty Bottoms hanging out on the right over there.

I know I've said it before but I'm gonna say it again: the guy on the left has a fantastic voice, and I'd be happy to hear him narrate pretty much anything.

Never knew this game was so deep. I never got past the first stage. I really need to play it again!

It may have been said many times, but it deserves to be said again. I agree completely.

Idk how I found these speed run videos, but I can't get enough. All these games I played when I was a kid brings back so many good memories. The guy doing the commentary was amazing, he explained things very well and was very knowledgeable. Another great run and what you guys do for charity is awesome. Keep it up guys!

I love the commentary in this, great speed run!

Blechy's commenatry is awesome as usual

Loved the commentary. It was excellent and provided great insights. Loved the level of detail and knowledge. It was a lot of fun to watch. Great job.

Commentary is amazing.

Blechy owns.

Oh hey it's my birthday, neat. One of the best runs I've seen so far. So informative, the guy on the left is so fun to listen to.

First time I saw Pit was in Super Smash Bros Brawl and his design and attacks quickly made him a favorite character of mine - but I had no idea what his game was like. Now I finally know! Great run and great commentary! Hope to see you both in SGDQ2014!

Pit's still known as "The Spam Master" in the Brawl circuits.... Which is a damn shame considering he's "comparable" to Mario with his well-roundedness. I guess it's just because he's too easy and tempting to abuse. Meh...

Fun fact for you: Pit's ability to guide his arrow in SSBB is a shout-out to this NES game. If you watch during the vertically-scrolling staged, pits arrow moves perfectly horizontally on the screen, even if the screen (and enemies) is scrolling upwards. So, you can effectively "guide" the arrow by scrolling the screen up after you shoot, but the effect is limited, just like your limited ability to curve the arrow in Brawl.

Blechy rocks, loved the commentary and insight!

That guy was like a living, breathing Nintendo Power...... Nice job both you guys!! (Those eggplants bring back childhood nightmares)

awesome commentary!!! great to see someone else discuss the game while the speed run is being performed

Man that commentary is freaking solid! good job :)

Nice run. Also, appreciate the commentary as I'm playing this for the first time and this cleared some stuff up!

Lovely Commentary. I am loving the great content I am seeing. Subscribed!

The commenter is such a natural speaker. It makes the run that much more enjoyable.

11:04 Okay, that was awesome! Very nice avoidance of the enemy, but DAMN that was hilarious! Excellent video, thank you for showing us & telling us so much about this game that made so many of us kids go crazy beck when we played it.

Great commentary by bonygrunt. First time watching a speedrun of Kid Icarus. Well played.

The commentary on this was awesome, nice job

I love knitting to commentated speedrun. Good job on the run and the upload, I didn't do like the last SGDQ were I tried to stay awake for all the run and ended up with the man flu for my trouble. So to be able to watch it at my leisure really is a blis, keep it up!

I always loved that: "THANKS, PITT! Here's a stupid hat for your troubles. Later." LOL!

I first played the Gameboy version of Kid Icarus. So many car rides were spent as a kid trying to beat it and I never did. Great run and great commentary.

*sees a tails plushie sitting next to the person* *2014 horde of "Tails doll real confirmed" videos flashbacks*

Nice run dude, great commentary as well, very informative.

These runs never get old I have very fond memories of never being able to beat this game as a kid lol. Great Commentary too.

great run, especially awesome commentary

I could never beat 2-4 in this game. So mindblowing to hear that new music! And of course the stellar performance of the runner.

The commentator was so good at it that I often forgot that Jorf was the speedrunner. I wish they had him in all speedruns, that commentary was perfect!

the lannisters send their regards!

This game is Metroid + Valentines day

That guy's voice is so smooth it sounded like it was a part of the game. He should do couch commentary for everyone.

Can't remember how many times i beat this game back in the day, must've bern around 50 times or something. One of my favorite NES games of all time.

Agreed, the commentary is AWESOME in this run.

Great narration!

Commentary was great, I had no idea that platform positions are affected by enemy kills!

16:10 " flying watermelons", I'll never forget the name of these monsters, when I was a kid in the 80's and got the huge black nes guide, Icarus was in there and all the enemies too with their names. These guys shared the same name as my Uncle which I thought was very weird, they are Micks.

ICARUS FIGHTS MEDUSA ANGELS

Ahhhh Kid Icarus. Such a great game! The game is brutal the first two/three stages, but once you get into the first temple, it's not bad.

My favorite nes game!

Kid Icarus uprising in the marathon we need

Watching this guy totally rock this game somehow made me feel better about my own experience with this game... they talk about hidden values and Zeus rooms, and they use strats and glitches and stuff... and yet I beat this when I was a kid, I didn't know about any of that stuff. I don't remember anything about which rooms to go in, which things to choose in said rooms, etc., but I was able to do it. It may not have been fast, but I did it.

I'm going to be the tenth person to mention how good the commentary is. =)

I used to play this at age 3 and 4.. could barley make it past stage 1.. do not remember passing stage 2.. once you fall even an inch into a lower part of the screen, you're dead..it wasn't where you just could not see yourself or the camera followed you back down.. great game, great run.

Willow is very knowledgeable.

Great speed run 😏

Normal speed runs are so much more enjoyable to watch than TAS.

Finally you answer my question why there is a blank room at the beginning of the game thank you it only took 35 years

Can we get a list of other agdq runs that Blechy is on the couch or otherwise a part of? I just wanna watch them all

Jorf looks identical to hiccup from how to train your Dragon.

Finally after 30 years I have some closure. I could never get past the eggplant wizard level.

brother you have found your calling.

You can get all kinds of items in this game and even rescue people to fight along side you!

i always thought the half hearts were porkchops

Jorf, sexiest runner at AGDQ!

The Pit clone glitch after beating Pandora is kind of hilarious after playing Kid Icarus Uprising considering what happens with Pandora in that game.

+TheGoldCrow What if Nintendo did that as a reference? I'm not going to lie, that would be the best possible thing to happen. Given Pit's fourth-wall breaking dialog, though, I feel like he would have had some sort of line about that if that were the case...

Who is the guy giving the commentary? He was fantastic! Would love to see him on more videos in the future, also does he have a youtube channel? Thank you in advance.

11:05 epic moment!

2:41 RUN START

Where the heck is Blechy's twitch/youtube info?

Kid Icarus Uprising, being the first game with a 26-year gap between original and sequel, takes the opportunity to tell 99% of its audience what the first was like, either because they never played it or don't remember. It's nice to see what it was actually like, rather than what they said it was like. Which, honestly, is fairly accurate. I just wish the game (Uprising) wasn't accompanied by humor so bad, even the game knows it's bad. (Pit: [Bad humor], several deities: "...")

Such a weird difficulty curve; when i played this on the VC i had a really hard time in the beginning - after that it got so easy that i can't even remember the level layouts anymore

Who is the guy exlaining the game on the runner's right? He is very well spoken and I was wondering if he has a twitch channel

If you're able to do certain actions repetitively and consistently, along with a frame counter, you're able to count these things. Combined with the fact that the game runs at 60 frames per second, with practice they can figure it out.

10 minutes into the video and I just noticed the Guy on the Left (facing the TV) is dressed in Mariachi Clothing.

At 1:46 game time, can you not jump and duck onto the ice instead of wrapping around?
