Hey everyone! My run on GDQ Hotfix from Sunday is now up on my channel!

This was a Pokémon TCG All Battles run where I got the first-ever marathon 1:2X:XX as well as the fastest Pokémon Dome segment in the category's history, the unbelievably rare sub-9 minute Dome!

Forgot to share this but also got this adorable Pikachu card in Pittsburgh this past weekend!

Look at this precious creature!!

Carlos “Toronite” Toro @toronite.bsky.social · 3d

Can't lie, this is what was playing in my head as soon as I got the final hit on the Sorceress to clutch out the PB. Just Mike Breen's voice yelling "BANG!! BANG!!"

Carlos “Toronite” Toro @toronite.bsky.social · 3d

Just absolutely unreal clutch factor, needed to nearly gold the Sorceress to PB!

Still levels out there for me to reach in this game, but we take this PB!

Carlos “Toronite” Toro @toronite.bsky.social · 4d

Oh look, it's even more Spyro Reignited 3 Any% for top 5!!

However, I still believe jn my opinion that all of my submissions have some merit in terms of getting in. I’m pretty damn proud of this submission, though!

Carlos “Toronite” Toro @toronite.bsky.social · 5d

AGDQ submissions! Two new games this time around! Here are (IMO) my ranking of likeliest to get in with 1 being most likely.

1. Ghostland Yard Any% Race
2. SRT 3 Any%
3. Pokemon TCG Any% Hard Mode
4. Pokemon TCG Any% Glitchless
5. Pokemon TCG All Battles
6. Mario Golf Story Mode
7. SRT 1 80 Dragons

If anything, this shows that I am far from washed in this game and still have a lot left in me.

When I fully come back to this game and grind again, I’m dead set on reclaiming my All Battles World Record!

Carlos “Toronite” Toro @toronite.bsky.social · 7d

1:07 with the bonus Imakuni boss fight incentive is an absurdly phenomenal run! I admittedly put the estimate over what it probably would have gone and still be fine, but if anything, it shows that (and at the risk of sounding arrogant) if you put me in front of the mic and do a run, I can deliver!
