Yeah this is why I cant watch most speedruns as it has nothing to do with skill and everything to do with manipulating the coding in the game to skip 75pct of the game.
Yeah, as soon as I hear itâs an easy mode speedrun âcause itâs fasterâ, I skip it lol
You get used to it, eventuallyâŚ
When I first started watching GDQ they had a Deus Ex run and here I was like: âOH WOW DEUS EX!!! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!â Then the guy proceeds to clip trough walls and infinite jumps over the whole stage and I was like: âWtf is this shit???â
But you get used to it⌠or just watch glitchless runs, or 100%. It also depends on the game as you canât glitch some.
Sequence breaks through execution of some cool movement stuff or whatever Iâm more ok with, but even then if like almost all of the game is just out of bounds skips I get tired of it quick.
It depends on the skips. Some of the skips, even out of bounds skips, can be more skillful than actually playing the game itself.
Others are just kind of meh.
Also the âEasy Modeâ runs I usually hate. The exceptions though are runs where most of the difficulty lies elsewhere, for example Mirrorâs Edge. No one really watches for the combat, the game itself is about the movement. That one I can live with being on Easy. Most others though are insulting.
Tetris the grand master 8way race!!! Taking forever to setup, but Iâm waiting patiently.
Yeah I agree about the easy runs⌠They are kinda stupid.
âOk so the run is on easy so I can run through the level without any problem and pretty much forgo any interaction beyond the stage itself.â
Seriously, I want to goto bed 
lol
RIP Tetris block
EDIT: So itâs finally up now
Stopped watching Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 runs because they just got boring with the amount of time the player is out of bounds.
Definitely very skillful, but boring.
Prime No OOB is far better.
GDQ the musical. Great way to skip over the boring Kingdom hearts autoscrollers.
BRUH theyâre almost at a Million!
Last night they just touched 700k! WTF!!!
Mario relay was dope.
Reading the YouTube comments, it seems like the two are good friends and were doing a bit. I can understand why it was a bit annoying though since it seemed like it went for the entire run? 
I tune in to some Super Metroid and see Oats and Fiend get Phantoonâd.
I love this game.
Phantoon has no mercy and 0 fucks to give about your speed run.
Wow what happened to the other racer in this Super Metroid low % Ice run?
They tapped out? lol
There were two and they both got Phantoonâd.
gotchaâŚ
Anyways this is really good! These guys definitely know how to Utilize the COUCH!
Pretty funny that the newcomer was the only one that didnât die to Phantoon.
