Wrap-Up

As I’ve said before Suikothon is a great way to showcase these amazing games and the speed runners who run them. These runners do this so they can share their love of these games and these series. With the Suikoden 1&2 Remasters coming March 6th, the runners want to build up that hype during Suikothon 5 going into the release. I don’t know if we will see a world record broken, but I will always keep my fingers crossed for it to happen every time.

Big thanks to all the speed runners for participating in this event. This year has been great for all these runners as we have seen multiple WR records broken. Plus, when watching these great people speedrun a game you never know what you will get to see, like maybe someone spilling their iced tea everywhere. Even the same one in Suikoden 2 multiple times. Also, a big thank you to RPGLimitBreak like always for allowing the use of their Twitch channel for this event.
