I really loved the DK64randomizer.com run, big randomizer and Spike Vegeta fan.

The 70 star 70 person relay in SM64 was absolutely bonkers.

Awful block always provides something that I love, in this case That's a Cow. I'll be picking that up for sure

Big Spike Vegeta fan and a fan of DK64, but I found the randomizer too hard to follow. It didn't help that since it was a race they had moments of "I can't say anything to give the other player an advantage". Even the commentary said that it was difficult to follow.

It was ok, but just ok for that reason.

Yeah, that run was for the like limited people that know DK64rabdomizer quite well i think. I play a lot of it, so that was sick to me, but it seemed super hard to follow for everyone else including my partner who rarely has a problem following a randomizer.

I see why they have to play same seed but also it's tough to not be vocal on stage about what's going on

Yeah they should've had noise cancelling headphones and white noise generators for the racers, similar to StarCraft tournaments

Or just do a solo run and save the randomizer races for actual tournaments where the viewers are more familiar and the commentators can speak freely
