Hope to see one of you at a GDQ!

Germany

Im interested to see who's gonna run it ;-)

Portugal

I mean, it's pretty obvious......

Wyoming, USA

I think, if the runner(s) are up to it, it should be like a donation war, Like Killing or saving the animals, Will it be a TPE run, or a Genocide run (Cause Who'd vote for neutral, lbh)

But hey, that's just me throwing my ideas

the only problem with that bid war is tpe is 20 minutes longer, and it could really mess up the schedule. Also people are stupid and geno would win

United States

Well I mean even though Genocide run has the most RNG in it, it's also the most difficult run of the 3, and usually people like to see the most difficult runs

Texas, USA

Geno is not the most difficult run. Just because it has sans doesn't mean it is the hardest. Neutral and TPE are both much harder runs to perform and optimise.

Someone was talking about racing... maybe have 3 people race together, except 1 person is doing the neutral route, someone is doing the TPE, and the last guy does the Genocide route? It showcases all 3 endings so the audience will be happy and we can show off all the little tricks MingLee

having three differnt routes going on at the same time is just confusing and hard to follow.; The time differences would also make neutral and geno finish >20 minutes earlier than TPE. It just doesnt work.

Indiana, USA

Even if 3 different routes sounds bad, it wouldnt be hard to follow. This is for an audience who watched a tas bot beat super mario bros 1, 2, 3, and lost levels all at the same time. The audience would watch a different run during boring parts of the other runs (Genocide Grind / Hotland Alphys Text Everywhere)

And time differences dont matter as much considering that RIGHT after Neutral Flowey would die, Sans in Geno is right behind him, and after Sans fight Asriel is RIGHT there as well

I very much think the best way to show everything off and to get the most appreciation out of this game would have 3 different runs for everyone... not to mention bidding wars on what our Character's names would be :D

Texas, USA

It doesn't work. The sans fight would most likely be going on in the end of the neutral ending for both neutral and tpe, runs would end 30 minutes before tpe, there is almost no downtime in hotlands which is when the Undyne the Undying fight would be happening. The Undertale community needs to make a good impression at gdq, and having an annoying clusterfuck of different runs won't do that. Also, about the tas run of mario 1,2,3, and lost levels. I watched it, and it was not easy to follow what was happening. I was constantly jumping between screens based on what the commentary was saying. It was a confusing, hard to follow. It also had all 4 games being played by the same inputs and was still hard to follow. it just wont work to have completely different runs happen at once. It is best to keep runs seperate for this reason.
