This is correct.
They can't see what their opponent is actively going for, but they both share the same bingo board, so when they highlight one the opponent sees it. That's why when they mark a level specific square it tells the opponent where they are/what they might be going for that also relates to that stage.
There are 25 squares, so there's always a chance for 13.
They both see the current bingo board on a separate screen so they know what has already been claimed.
The board has 25 squares so they can't tie.
If they both have 12, then they are both forced to go for the last remaining square. There is no possible tie.
Everything after Pokemon just hasn't appealed to me. Which is fine since there is so much every year to watch. I normally really like TASbot too, but other then Castlevania it seemed like a mess/I just didn't care about the game they were doing. Bingos are nice I guess but would rather have just watch another normal run of sunshine. Same with the FF4 run. Glad there are people that do enjoy it though.
Also, "orb" is from Mario World, from when a runner collects the single orb in the game. It became pretty big in that and has since been used in anything else with an orb like object in a higher quantity.

9.5. Hour. Speed Run. Looks like they are splitting it up between three people but damn, they still have to be on the couch for that entire time. I don't think my bladder could handle that.
TASbot was terrible and boring as always. No one knew or gave a shit about some random mario hack. The "Orb" got old fast. Donations yelling for "hype" is cringe. There was some good stuff this year but the last couple days have been trash.
Also fuck any speedrun that is over 2 hours.

Sorry but calling for hype is the equivalent of "please be excited".
Two of my all time favorite games made appearances this year. Aria of Sorrow and FF9. I'm pretty happy. I don't watch many speedruns, but those two games I catch streams of whenever I'm feeling nostalgic.
The Bingo run was incredible. We definately need more of that.
FFIX is amazing. What a charming game. I don't understand why it is so divisive. This is one of Squaresoft's best.

do the visuals ever change? I can see how it could have a nostalgic charm but this game is really ugly so far.
I think it's beautiful. Especially the opening areas.
The game has a lot of dithering, and the backgrounds would look better with scan-lines, but I love how detailed everything is. The characters and characterization of even minor characters is just so charming.
The last time I played it was on the Vita, the visuals hold up a lot better on that.
The character models are updated, not sure on the backgrounds.
hard to sit through a 9 hour run, but being this time of night is a good spot for it. Lots of people will catch some of the beginning and a lot of people will catch some of the end of the run. Theres still nearly 110k people watching at this time of night.
If FF9 is your thing youll end up watching more than youd expect. I somehow sat through an ff6 run at one of these GDQs... that one was 6 or 7 hours i think.

Right now it feels too oppressive for a full game length
The characters and FMVs look better because they had the original high quality assets but the environments are still 240p because they lost the background assets. Some people think the game looks really weird with the characters looking good and the backgrounds looking terrible.
It's by far my favorite game in the entire franchise, but i don't think its hard to see why it wasn't everyone's cup of tea. Combat being as slow as it is can be a deal breaker and it's a very jarring game if you came in to the series with 7 and 8 like a lot of people did.
The artstyle isn't helped by it's age and platform. Lots of PS1 games are ugly, though of the 3 PS1 FF's, it's aged the best.
I'm still more amazed that people mispronounce Cecil despite there being a voice acted version of Final Fantasy 4 for over a decade... Like not even just the GDQ staff, but the actual speed running community as a whole.The American pronunciation of Zidane
