The fourth 24 hours of Summer Games Done Quick packs in 33 events, the most of any day so far. Highlights today include six races, including two involving the world No. 1s and No. 2s (and a third involving No. 1, 2 and 3); speedrunner extraordinaire TheMexicanRunner in Cuphead; and, yes, The Noid. You can watch all of the action live, right here.
TheMexicanRunner (real name Piotr Kusielczuk) is known for speedrunning the full, 714-game library of Nintendo Entertainment System games. At Awesome Games Done Quick 2018 six months ago, he did a speedrun of the notoriously impossible Battletoads (where he has five of seven category No. 1s on speedrun.com). Cuphead seems to be his new obsession, where he has 25 world records (Cuphead’s different modes and difficulties create a lot of combinations). TheMexicanRunner takes on Cuphead (all flags, regular difficulty, and legacy — i.e., any version before the current patch) at 10:48 p.m.
