  The extra funny thing is that nowadays Any% is under 4 minutes long and is coincidentally at an ~86% fail rate for the RNG needed to have a chance at world record.

  Using Yu-Gi-Oh: Forbidden Memories music during the explanation of how unforgiving the RNG is was a <b>brilliant</b> choice.

  That GDQ run has got to be heartbreaking<br><br>I can&apos;t imagine being in that position knowing the game is cursing you with the worst possible RNG in front of thousands of people...

  Must of been so stressful having the trick fail again and again in front of a massive crowd like that, them clapping along and cheering when it was successful was really cool, even though it wasn&apos;t fast the crowd got really into it, awesome to see.

  Fun fact, this glitch started a new issue for the OOT speedruns while resolving a previous issue at the same time, as the GIM glitch was responsible for the eventual fade in popularity of the iQue (a rare chinese-only nintendo system that many were opposed to, citing it as an unhealthy limitation to the category due to the difficulty picking one up) as a preferred device to speedrun on.

  I love how GIM is such a hard trick but it&apos;s 100% consistent in terms of RNG. The Defeat Ganon No SRM route that does GIM twice now is some of the highest skill expression in Ocarina of Time ever

  Despite the GDQ run being so unlucky, that was the hypest GDQ has ever been. We&apos;ll likely never see that level of energy again at a speedrun event.

  Hot take, but that GDQ disaster is entirely the organizers&apos; fault. That run should not have been accepted.<br><br>An 85% failure rate that will kill a run is the furthest thing from marathon safe.
