[DoomsDave]

Amazing run, amazing commentary. Well done comrades.

[dan76]

Christ that was amazing. Gus at the end man. So good.

[Yuusha]

Can someone give more information regarding the controller that he used? At first glance it looked like a typical controller but on a closer look it looks... modified?

[donluca]

I missed it

I'll have to watch it later today.

[brokenhalo]

Juiciest run ever! Thank you for going all the way Gus.

[drauch]

Made my palms sweat! Aces

[ATTRACTS]

All that on a standard (for the most part), controller. That was amazing.

[CRP]

Amazing to watch.
Also big up to the commentator it was good.

[Jonpachi]

With the 360 controller no less! Awesome work!

[szycag]

Finally, the hero we deserved.

[auryn]

Wow that was just perfect, the commentary "And now this... OMG OMG OMG and CANCEL! But we're not done..." is basically my internal dialogue loop when playing a lot of Cave games

and that speech at the end... wow is that guy Gus for real? 10/10

[donluca]

Jesus Chirst that was insane!

Finally got to see the run, good shit to Gus and that final talk, man, you could say it gave all of us the... Gusbumps! Pun very intended.

Hope to see more shmup action at the various events, AGDQ, ESA, you name it.

[Queen Charlene]

INCREDIBLE run. great work.

a great start to 2020 for STGs.

[Ythundyth]

Congrats to Gus. Great run and great speech at the end. It was very enjoyable to watch.

[5pectre]

What gus did with that performance and the excellent couch commentary, I think they really put some new eyeballs on the genre.

The run was something else with some insane display of skill and the crowd/chat loved the chouch. I could see JUICY CANCEL reaching the same heights as the lame ORB and HONK. Another frase i saw got a great response was when it was explained that you had to USE YOUR EYEBALLS to dodge RNG patterns

And I had a lot of fun with the whole, It's not done yet!, phases of the last boss.

If you can, keep an eye on the chat. It was so enjoyable to watch SO many people not knowing what the heck was going on, talking about getting anxiety and generally getting their minds blown.

Wathc the run here (starts 8mins in): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/533026710

[Jeneki]

Excellent run! Crazy to see this done in a huge event.

Also thanks to Aquas for not asking Gus if he "does mental preparation / meditation to keep your nerves" this time.

[auryn]

so I noticed that some people in the twitch chat could actually quote to speech Gus gave at the end almost verbatim, and then found out that it's actually a poem by Charles Bukowski

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”

amazing choice for a victory speech, delivery 10/10

[Jeneki]

He's been a fan of All The Way for quite a while now. You can hear it in the 2013 STG Weekly episode.

It was a bit frustrating to hear Aquas constantly getting interrupted and talked over when he was trying to explain things. Chat noticed that too. Lots of "LET HIM FINISH"

[Udderdude]

Yeah but he was hype AF, and he kept saying juicy. How could you not like that? JUICY!

[pegboy]

How many lives do you normally get in Futari 1.0? It looked like he had a shit more lives than I'm used to seeing in Futari, Is that a 1.0 thing?

[CStarFlare]

He was playing on every 70M point extend settings for the run.

[Immryr]

It was a bit frustrating to hear Aquas constantly getting interrupted and talked over when he was trying to explain things. Chat noticed that too. Lots of "LET HIM FINISH"

it was a little bit annoying. but the other guy had some good things to say, and you could tell he was just insanely hyped.

[Special World]

Oh, that was Aquas? Big props. You and Gus were a dream team duo. BIG DREAM. I was like "who is this motherf- who knows what he's talking about??"
