AGDQ 2019 & Future Speedplans

Ok so I’m typing this on mobile on the way to my university, so it’s gonna take me like 8 years to type this and will be filled with grammatical mistakes. This pastebin is just gonna go over my AGDQ 2019 experience, people who I want to thank, and then finally my speed plans going forward.

After having a pretty bad SGDQ 2017 experience I really thought I would never come back to GDQ. I took a long break from speedrunning after that, and I thought GDQ would only make me stressed. Well I am glad to say that this was the best GDQ experience I have had ever, and it was a blast to hang out with everyone! I have personal shoutouts to anyone who had a strong positive impact on me this particular GDQ, but I seriously just wanna thank everyone who interacted with me at all!

Stringflow: You were literally the person who convinced me to come to GDQ. Thank you for always making me feel better and always hanging out with me no matter what. You are truly a great friend! Also please remind me if I forgot someone to shoutout in this pastebin.

Gunnermaniac: Yet again you have proven to be one of the nicest most welcoming people I have ever met. The community you have created mhas made me happy to come back to speedrunning. Keep streaming and being great!

Leopluradon: Thank you for introducing me to KBBQ, I have now discovered the greatest place in earth. Also thank you for paying for a lot of things there. (I will pay you back shortly, I promise)

Pokeguy: Holy shit you are one of the funniest people I have ever met! Congrats on the run and I hope I get to see you be super 17x VoHiYo again!

Nix: hi nix ;) You were way different than I thought you were gonna be, and I mean that in the best way possible! I’m honestly I little jealous and I wish I could be more like you!

Swaph: Man I have be waiting to see you since 2015! You are one of the funniest people and you are such a bundle of happiness! Your puns get me every time, and you are a very happy drunk man ;)

Opnauticus: We didn’t interact that much this GDQ, but I always enjoy talking to you and hearing your stories!

Shenanagans: Thanks for being the dad of the youngsters at KBBQ ;) You nailed the commentary up on the GDQ stage, and I’ll be doing 70 star shortly!

Doctor_Sprinkles & HearMeFarore: I really wish I talked to you guys more! Thanks for just hanging out in the room and chilling!

Tikevin: You are a skiball god, and I wish to aspire to your god like level. It was great to learn about you past Pokémon speedrunning! Come back to Canada soon!

Headstrong: I learned so many cool Let’s Go strats from watching the race! I know I barely interacted with you at all, but both you and your girlfriend (I assume) were great people to chill with for a couple hours! Sorry for being extra awkward with you guys! This almost makes me wanna stay up till 3am to catch your streams!

SPEEDPLANS GOING FORWARD

I’ll put this stuff in 2 categories, things I want to prepare the SGDQ, and thing I just wanna try to run. I will be prioritizing things in the first group.

GAMES FOR SGDQ

Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee (Any%): This will be my main speedgame going forward. I will be aiming for at least a 3:16 and possibly lower.

Pokémon Pearl (Any%): Goal is to learn extended manip and aim for a 57:xx.

Pokémon Yellow (Any% No Save Corruption): Goal is to be consistent enough to preform this run in a marathon.

GAMES NOT FOR SGDQ

Pokémon Yellow (RBA No Underflow): Goal is to complete a run of this meme.

Pokémon Gold (Any% Glitchless): Goal is to complete a run with manips.

Pokémon Platinum (Any%): Goal for this WAS a sub 2:50 but people are breaking this category as I speak so I will wait on that now.

Pokémon Platinum (E4R2): Goal is to complete a run eventually.

Mega Man ZX Advent (Beginner Mode, Grey & Ashe): Goal will be 52 Grey and 53 Ashe, which shouldn’t be TOO difficult.

70 Star: 70 Star.

I can’t wait to see where speedrunning in 2019 will take me!
