Watch the best runners in the community master new mechanics and conquer some very unique games in record time!

I've seen FFIV completed in just under 2.5 hours, but I didn't know the other 16-bit ones had tricks like that.

AGDQ, SGDQ and ESA are major events
this is just an event

SRL hosts *GDQ. This is a major event in terms of FF speedrunning and not just some YouTube team doing a let's play.

You can't add context after the fact to make it seem right. In terms of FF speedrunning, sure, it's major. In general, no, and that is what the thread said. (Technically SDA hosts GDQ, SRL is the livestream part of SDA)

Yes you can. It happens all the time in advertizing. It's still a major speedrunning event despite what frame of reference it's in.

Ah yes. I got confused on what those acronyms meant. Thanks for the correction.
