Should probably mention I was on a month and a half break to enjoy my summer and move into my new apartment. I'll be back to uploading regularly now. Also all of the ad revenue made from this video and my other GDQ video are going to be used to attend GDQ and I'll also be donating a lot of it sporadically during the events to push donation incentives like I did last event. EDIT: I made an error in my spreadsheet when inputting race data for the 2014 Super Metroid race. After making the correction I found that the race would have actually been put in the number 2 spot on the list. All of the data was hand entered over the span of 130 different races and I must have made an error typing. If you want to check out the race after the video here's the link kzread.info/dash/bejne/nIlkyKecYrPLg6w.html

EZScape as someone who helped this marathon when it was in Uyama's basement, it brings me a wealth of joy to see how you're using that revenue to support it as well. You are, as we once said, "THE MAN."

Honestly, you take the whole "Top 10" format and inject a level of quality into it that makes your videos worth watching and waiting for. Many of the tricks in speedruns are obscure things or strange glitches, so without your commentary providing context the clips would feel far less impressive. You're also more likely to spawn more speedrunners, since the tricks and skips are the most fascinating part of speedruns for most runners.

Great video! Honoured to be involved in the #1 pick. GDQs are the best!

I feel like the first 4 player Super Metroid any% race was the better one for showcasing. That one was much closer for the top runners and didn't have controversy during the event.

@EZScape

6 жыл бұрын

This list was made by going through every single GDQ race and inputting the data into an excel sheet to figure out which races were the closest. The formula I used was the difference in time between first and second place relative to the time first place got. This is so a run that's 40 minutes long with 4 seconds in time difference at the end would be considered closer than a 4 minute run with 1 second time difference. I generally try to keep my lists objective if I have the data to work with.

@deadinsky

6 жыл бұрын

Does that formula make it so a 75 minute run with a 8 second time gap is considered closer than a 45 minute run with a 0.5-1 second time gap? Since that was how AGDQ 2014's Super Metroid race was. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqGauJqCmNauoZM.htmlh3m17s

You should keep doing lists like this

I feel so happy every time I see people speedrunning Mega Man Games. It's so amazing how quickly they are going through the stages, it's very inspiring and fun to watch!

Ayy ya boy ezscape is back

WAY WAY better with more detail than just the endings. Often "how the got there" is really the interesting part, then just watching the results. Awesome list.

Just started watching speedruns a short while ago, and your channel has been essential. Great work, thanks for putting these together and for the detailed commentary!

Great video! It's nice to see you back & uploading after so long, & here's looking forward to more content, EZScape!

This was fun! I love the story behind the runs. It makes them feel that much more epic! Great content

Thank you for how in depth this was. Great work on this video :)

Great video like always. Keen to see you back into your regular uploading schedule.

Awesome video. I still get the chills rewatching the Ducktales race between Garadas and me. I had missed some of the other races, need to rewatch the full runs now. Great work.

Love all your videos, man. Keep up the great work!

Good to see you back, awesome vid

Your growth the past couple of months has been crazy - love what you're doing for the community. Keep it up!

Love your vids man, I really appreciate you going in depth on these.

Great video dude, I'm glad we're back to regularly scheduled content

damn you worked real hard on this vid, nice

This was a great video. Your enthusiasm is infectious and you chose your highlights in each race well. Subscribing and watching more!!

Honestly love seeing your uploads. It's great seeing speedrun commentary outside of GDQ.

I've never been much of a fan of speedrunning races, but these close ones have really piqued my interest. Very exciting! I'll be looking forward to watching a few at the next GDQ. Thanks for this!

Awesome video as always. Super entertaining.

small note but the border you put around which screen you're talking about made it a lot clearer. great vid

I like the longer vids, great editing, keep it up ez!

I cant wait till you get huge ezscape. Such a great channel that I love to watch and learn about all the games being spedrun. keep it up man!!

I subscribed because of how in depth you go. Good work

Good stuff man. Keep it up. Entertaining af

i missed you

I really enjoy your content. Your dialog is very thought out.

I love how you go in depth and explain

thanks for including links to the videos you used! for some reason i couldn't find the sunshine race

This video is great! I'm not familiar at all with any of these games but you explain everything so well. Have my sub!

Love the commentary. Thanks man :)

tnx for featuring the DuckTales race! I still rewatch it from time to time and it always gives me shivers.

Interesting video. Like the detail and how easy you made understanding what was happening. Thumbs up from me.

Good video, glad Smaugy is on here, that race was awesome.

uhm there was a super metroid run in i think 2014 where first and second place were just half a second apart

It doesn't get much better than this, eating peanut butter before bed while watching an EZScape top 10 :)

I've been binge watching ur videos this pass week and I gotta say ur content is very good! Keep it up :)

Enjoying the commintary on these videos. Cheers

Always a pleasure to see your videos :)

amazing video, thanks for the awesome content man

That signature Blue Glass laugh at the end of Plok...

I love your videos so much, keep this up!!!

This video was really fun

Dude, your videos are of the highest quality.

The Super Metroid Race between Ivan, Zoast, Krauser, and Garrison deserves a spot here.

That description though

If only there were more high quality videos like this.

The sportsmanship in the Mario kart race makes me smile every time

Great videos!

I really liked you going more in-depth!!

AHHH Plok. I remember that game. I have also done a glitch where you can skip most of the first island and just fight the final boss on that island. Not sure how I did it. I vividly recall doing it multiple times as a kid on the SNES. it might be what you mentioned in the video about grabbing a letter and then dying. Yet I remember spamming keys on the controller during the death scene until the overworld map shows up and i would "somehow" be at the final level on the first island. thanks for the nostalgia :)

Really interesting video!

Love your vids man.

This video was very very well made.

I liked it indepth nature. Very interesting list!

I remember seeing a few of these. Number 1 is definitely deserved of the spot.

Thank you awesome vid

Great video, I think a top 10 comebacks would also be very noce

That Ducktails race was insane.

Hey EZ I'm happy that you put the number in the corner

The video description man LMAAAAAOOOO

Ayyy the Duck tales one made it to the list, it's hands down my favorite race

i remember a double dash all courses race at some event that i cant remember. in game time was used and at the end of the race about 3/10ths was bertween their times

That Duck Tales race 👍

I’d love to see a follow up to this vid, as there have been some great gdq races since. SGDQ 2017’s super Mario relay comes to mind.

Great job ez I really miss the spyro live streams

You can tell shit's nuts when 1/2 of the world's best runners look over at your screen during a marathon.

The Super Metroid race at AGDQ 2014 between Zoast, Ivan, Krauser, and Garrison should have been on this list. It was the best race I've ever seen, with Ivan and Zoast finishing less than a second away from each other, and Krauser just behind.

well done
