No audio?
Edit: Nvm lol
How does that even happen
What's the point of commentary if we can't hear it
(Context: at the time of posting this comment there was an issue where for some people the audio wouldn't load)
Please bro it's already past midnight you can't do this to me I have class in the morning
I have exams in a week, you can’t do this to me
I’m confused by all the people saying there’s no commentary… cus there definitely is lol. Edit, apparently YouTube was being stupid.
That home menu buffering reminds me of a similar thing in majora’s mask. You can pause repeatedly, and the game world won’t advance, but the clock will for a single frame. So if you want, you can pause over and over and run the clock down as much as you want, before letting the game do any clock related events.
I want a remaster of this game so bad
Inbelievable, unconceivable
ooohhh boy, its movie night tonight
Since when did those Megabytes exist and why are they even there
6 years is inconceivable, props for the dedication
EDIT : IT GETS BETTER !!! thanks for the comments.
sound is pretty badly mixed, it's hard to hear the commentary over the game music. i'd advise a reupload, it's difficult to watch in that state
It sure is nice that you don't have to press 2 for literally every line of dialogue.
Apologies for any audio issues, the game audio started off a bit loud on the restream but gets fixed a few minutes into the premiere. YouTube also seems to be bugging out for some reason! 😅
Babe wake up. New SPM tas just dropped.
This was so interesting, thanks so much
letsgo that was nice thank you
21:00 Oh my god, I thought SMW was the only game to have that mechanic
A 2 press is a 2 press, you can't say it's only a half!
lmao, when i saw the title i thought it said the game could be completed in only 2 presses instead of the 2 button
also this game is now 17 years old!
One of my favorite parts of these is always how good the HUD looks to keep track of everything, makes it a truly special experience! 💖
this looks spliced 1:37:56
wait isnt that the dk oatmeal guy
Something something parallel universes press like
This being called the 2 button challenge makes it have the absolute best button challenge name
I love how the 2 button is pretty much always red because it's more useful to hold it down all the time
seeing this in my recommended feels like a blessing. I love SPM, I love challenge runs, I love commentated TASes, I love impressively long videos…
The existence of these megabites is fascinating, genuinely curious as to why they were included
5:11:31 Nice animations there, Mario.
you know what I think would be funny to see? An encode of this exact same run, but the display has counters for every single input. So the times when y'all are spamming 1 to burn through text, it just shoots up like 30 times a second. Same with direction+down for y'all's funny stutter walking
A 2 press is a 2 press, you can't say it's only held
I like how at the beginning your list of characters included Luigi
Oh that’s what the title meant. I thought it was about beating paper Mario in 2 button presses.
448 is a lot more than I thought it'd be
not me pausing to grab doritos at 2:54:18
At the end, you mentioned how it would be a good watch being able to skip around. It’s a good watch raw as well. I sat through this whole thing lol. No fast forwards at all. It was worth it, this was super cool!
Super awesome video!! Somebody tell the people in the call to laugh every once in a while the dead air is maddening
my dumbass thought the tas was gonna beat the game in only two button presses 💀
I love how Luigi is consider as part of the team until the separation cutscene
I love watching TAS runs of this game, always a treat. This is my version of a feature film, I'm grabbing popcorn and getting comfy. Appreciate the work as always!
I was not expecting to see a SPM challenge run TAS come across my youtube recommended but I am certainly happy to be recommended this
with "2 Presses" in quotes in the title I thought this was a TAS that limited all button presses to just 2 buttons pressed and I thought "there's no way speedrunners did that"
"a 2 press is a 2 press, you can't say it's only a half"
3:09:22 Funnily enough, this is one of only a couple Megabites I actually DID know about (the other being in 1-3), because younger me used to always mess around in this room. I think I was fascinated by all of the hidden ? Blocks in 3D
No way I catch this a day after upload. You know what, I'll watch a tas for the first time, sure.
