EWM, Tourneys and Yellow

Last weekend was the first Elysium Winter Marathon, in which I ran Pokemon Yellow any% Glitchless and Gunstar Heroes any% Co-op easy. I have attended and participated online in various marathons so far in my life as a speedrunner, and never ends to surprise me how the community can get together to run a event like that and make it a fun experience. I have the greatest time hanging out with the guys and running games, races at the tournaments and doing my runs. I cannot be more emphatic in that the great things about marathons are born from the people that participate in them, so if you assisted in person or in chat, you're awesome! Shoutouts to all organizers, specially Benja who put down the idea and finally make it true!

About my runs, Im not going to lie: My yellow run was bad. But the good thing is that I take it in a funny way. I made mistakes that were possibly the most stupids ones, so it was impossible to not laugh about them. Also I got the clutchest Agatha in my life, so it was a fun time. And Gunstar Heroes as always, was a great time because having Jim as a co-op partner will be always be a very fun trip. Good time, good excecutions and very pleased considering my last practice with Jim was like 2 months ago.

At a side note, somehow, I managed to win both side tournaments on the marathon: The SMB3 versus and the RNG mystery Tourney. People like Jim mock me and say that I am the god gamer of MTs, but to be honest, I was really amazed that I got so far facing opponents so strong in the brackets. In the MT, after sending Alexxa to losers, she did an amazing losers run and scared the hell out of me waiting on grands, and I faced Chocman not only on Winners finals, but also in Grand finals. Also, in SMB3, I was able to defeat guys like Benja and Salero, who adapted very well to the game. I am actually very happy for the wins because normally Im not used to win tournaments, and is a very great feeling to have. Even if I know this tournaments are for fun, this helps me to boost confidence and try harder and better each time. Shoutouts to Salero, Benja and Dazer for organizing the RNG tourney. I know it was hard but it was totally fun and worthy!

Also, about my stream, I'll definitely gonna keep running Yellow. Im very motivated to reach the sub 2hr mark, but i'll be a lot of work. Still, I'm going to take a couple of days off because I'm feeling a little pain in both hands for the overexertion (probably early tendinitis). So, in the meanwhile, I will enjoy SGDQ or watch some anime series :D
