Nope you were not the only one.

An AMAZING run, and... I know the video here is old, but... sadly, I agree with everyone saying the announcer seemed to have ZERO regard for the player, the ~timing~ of when to speak and when not to... and just... did ~too~ much. Maybe it's just me, but it should be something like: * Announcer NEEDS to have at LEAST played the game before--maybe even finished it (whether TAS or normal, speed--who cares) * Announcer needs SOME familiarity with the more difficult areas in the game -- so as to shaddup... ;) * Some kind of quick, maybe "visual" check in with the player or... some middle man person to let people know to be quiet for a while IDK. Annoyed me, since... holy SHIT is this game hard enough. Let alone with damage boosts, speed-running, and world records...! Damn.

Bluegrass really does add a certain lightness to the atmosphere and setting of these speedrun streaming events. I know this was years ago, but GDQs just wouldn't feel the same without him. He's socially awkward (sometimes to an uncomfortable degree), but he means well and is supportive of everyone, which is rad.

Me:”Finally he stopped talking!😅 Announcer: “we got errrrrr $5 from errrr”

Thank god that tone death announcer isn't around anymore. He keeps interrupting great commentary by the runner by screaming out minor or non interesting donations. Just ruins it.

That's the problem people are having because the announcer didn't seem to know when it was a proper time to have a word. It's not like he ever asked or was told when it was a time to read the donations, he was simply going on about petty stuff which could have been filled up with a much more interesting commentary from funkdoc.

The announcers on these runs normally dont bother me at all, but the announcer on this run made it practically unwatchable. He literally never shut up for more than 10 seconds during the entire course of the run.

That was a gorgeous run of the game. Issues with the announcer notwithstanding, a deathless run of this game is something to be appreciated (by apparently everyone but the announcer).

The announcer totally wrecked this run, thank god the new ones ask if there's time to read out a donation

lets go funkdoc, also loved your spiderman maximum carnage run.

Seems like he was getting annoyed with the announcer. i know I was...

Funkdoc's reaction at 27:20 is why I watch these!

Commentator was really intrusive and annoying (by reading long commentaries) in this run.

Listening to the announcer talking over the runner near the end is intolerable

One of the all-time great video game soundtracks, across all platforms

a) the donator jokes aren't funny, so you don't have to read them all b) maybe down the hall the commentator marathon is going on, but in this room it's a speedrun people came for c) if you only donated to be read, you aren't donating for a good reason.

The announcer is not just plain annoying and interruptive throughout the WHOLE run, but also barely understandable.

Awesome run Dude!This is one my favorite games of all time and you owned it! I find it really fascinating to hear the all of the little tricks and tips that go into making these speed runs...good job!

Wow funkdoc destroyed the estimate and his commentary is fantastic. Blueglass and him should team up and do some reality show about speedrunning

Look, I understand that people are donating money and their generosity needs to be recognized, but the announcer just keeps opening his yap at the worst moments possible, and then he just keeps going on and on and on. It's like he's not even paying attention to the game being played at all, and he's off in his own world of hearing himself talk.

You don't have to read EVERY SINGLE donation. At least wait until the runner says it's you have time to.

Thank you to Funkdoc for this run and for inspiring me to purchase this game for my snes. I had an awesome time playing through it this past week, and and now i truly understand how skilled you are in this series. I just wish id have given it a try back in the early 90's!

STOP DONATION GUY STOP!!!

Man this has to be my favorite classic style Castlevania. It's got great tunes, sweet levels and plenty of challenge. Nice run Funkdoc.

We don't want to know how to pronounce your name, we want to see this guy speed-run this game and raise money for a good cause!

That Eastcoast Style Bit Killed Me!! HAHA Great run funkdoc!

Great run funkdoc keep it up.

Im so freaking excited for the Summer Marathon :D

The announcer took away the awesomeness of how the nerd beat the 3rd stage boss as some other nerd in the audience had to bring attention to the fact.

It's been said, and it really doesn't need to be done to death, but I seriously wanted to stomp a mudhole in the announcer. It was around the 35:08 mark that Funk was getting further and further into the last stages of the game, climbing up a set of collapsing stairs, and the announcer just kept speaking over his commentary. I was furious.

Amazing run from Funkdoc and great explanations for people who might not understand. One of the best games ever made, PERIOD.

funkdoc does it again with his brilliant speedruns. :]

So far my favorite run. Skilled stuff here.

Amazing run. I searched for this speedrun, because I had to see for myself how in the hell you can beat this game with ease. This is one of those games I've never beat.

john doe Metroidvania and Classicvania/Old School Castlevania are two seperate games. Its too hard to say wich one is better than the other. It is more biased than say Castlevania vs. Castlevania 3 or Dracula X vs. Rondo. I am personally split between Aria of Sorrow and Rondo of Blood as my fav games.

This game best shows why Slogra and Gaibon show up in the place you first talk to Death after you leave and go back to it in SotN, because like in this game, you see that Sloga and Gaibon are Death's subordinates. They're right before him in the same level, to the point where I knew he was gonna show up even though I've never even seen this game before. They're in the Cave area all over the place before you fight Death in SotN, and they're all over before you fight Death in Dawn of Sorrow. Nice consistency. And then Harmony of Despair came out...

Absolutely amazing run.

Great job, Funkdoc!

"World record!" Announcer:we have another donation from....

When I was younger this game just never seemed to end for me. I remember losing my passwords for the later levels and just completely freaking out. Good job on the time.

Amazing run!! I will be firing up this game now that I'm inspired!

Brilliant run boy! good job!

With regard to the announcer I'd like to quote Dr. McCoy..."I'd give real money if he'd shut up!"

Watching this I realize I've paid little attention to the backgrounds in the 25 years I've been playing this. It's a trip to notice things there that I've never noticed before, despite having played this thousands of times.

congratulations well done...awesome run and good skills. I also like your narration and the fact that you accept random things happening like a man. keep it up !!

30:20 Funkdoc: "Gotta be real careful for this part!" Announcer immediately starts yapping..

The Comentator at the end: only one form of dracula?...wow. please stfu and give this guy his props, what he did right here is amazing and you shuld appriciate it!

funkdoc's commentary is the best

yo this commentator needs to shut up donations are fine when theres down time but the dude had no time to explain any of the game. u could tell he had a bunch to say but he had to like but in to explain anything. donation comments are secondary to runner explanations. this guy doesnt understand that ppl watch the stream to see speedruns and hear the explanations about the nuances and tricks of the game not to hear donation comments

Great run !!

Amazing,congratulations!!!!

man I miss funkdoc. hope to see him return to speedrunning someday.

Much like the MGS3 run,this did NOT have enough people there with him. Amazing work, Funkdoc!

These videos would be 100 times better if they didn't read all of the donations

This announcer is a sonic boom character. He never shut up, and always point the obvious all the fucking time.

amazing run! Subbed.

When the announcer read the comment with "Sorry for my bad English" in it, I thought he was apologizing for his own. I can totally respect that English is not his first language and it's a tough one to learn, but I couldn't understand half of what he kept on talking about.

Beast run, Funkdoc.

One of my favorite SNES games. Good run too. I also liked his Castlevania I run.

Wow..GDQ came along way. Thank God for audio Qs because that Count Chocula guy was speedrunning the donations

There is so much dead screen space, it would be nice for lower value donations to just flash or scroll down there. Of course, this channel would not be the same without these valuable fund raisers, but constant announcing really detracts from the content.

You look so different with your hair slicked funk! Loved watching you get the batman record live.

nice run, I played a lot back in the days. Speed run wasn't very common when I was playing it. I was more doing the game without losing life and health and knowing which candle to avoid for keeping my tripple cross

it's summer, the marathon will approach us so fast you won't know what hit ya

Can't say it enough, Funkdoc is the best!

and props funkdoc, much skill !!!!

I liked this video because of funkdoc.

Funkdoc's Castlevania skills are impressive.

Dude, even in speedrun-mode, I find this game incredibly dull. Even as a kid, I thought this game was boring. Castlevania 3 remains my favorite pre-SOTN Castlevania.

Nice job man

Played like a boss.

I love this guy

This is awesome

One month away... I can't wait!!! =D

In general this run is just incredible. So much respect for funkdoc for not only showing off his incredible skills numerous times throughout the run, but also showing a lot of patience and grace when the annoying announcer guy is talking over him reading out those inane messages.
