Not really what i was expecting when i put together this weird absol/blaziken team, but I'll take it for now lmao

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Photos from ASM are all out so I figured id post some of them that had me that I quite like. It's always a fun event and makes me a little sad that I cant make it to pax this year to participate in ASAP.

Huge PB! turns out when you die less you go faster in your speedruns!!

The highest rating I've been in a while, and this is the team that I've been doing it with. It just seems to work.

Context: on the Friday there was the SF6 crew battle, NSW vs The Rest, which I was signed up on the side of NSW. Zonatte is one of the regions best Lilys, would go on to make top8, and had just taken out several people in the crew battle. Cue this going to final game, final round. Unedited btw.

Where I'm at currently in SF6. It's been a while since I've felt confident in my play, but I think I'm starting to get back there, hopefully just in time for OHN

Big PB in the Nioh 3 Speedrun. It wasnt so much a matter of not dying at all, because I did that a lot during the run, but reducing them across a bunch of fights. Still a lot of room to improve, the next goal is to consistently get to sub 3, and then 2:30.

010

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

We getting faster! Still a handful of fights and sections to get much better at, but very happy with how its progressing.

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Finally finished the ranked games needed for the colour for blanka, so the streak of getting them all for him(and JP) is currently unbroken. Also one that has been funny at the start of every ranked phase is asking "okay what kind of green am i working towards this time?"

the different colour palates for Blanka in Street Fighter 6 that are obtainable as rewards for ranked play.

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

I'm an absolute genius and it was all calculated and totally not a misinputted self detonation that made me panic scramble. Also this was like the one game I got in our set, Kyri is real good so ill take it lmao

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Good friend @velyndis.bsky.social put together a pokemon draft league with a bunch of other friends and im going to be playing with this delightful group of misfits. Team name is just something simple, the Spikemuth Stars, because we all know that the dark types are the stars of the show.

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Pretty much all my wins this season have been using a team with either Scrafty or Overqwil. Really earning that dark type e4 title :)

yeah this ended up working out much easier when im not trying to cook too much.

Sure I have Mega Metagross and Mega Scrafty on my team. Sure there's Sneasler and Basculegion on it as well. But nah this cup of tea is the one making the team truly function.

I think it's finally past that main irritable stage of growing the beard, which is usually made worse by having sensitive skin. Now it's just a lot more hair to deal with

Finally getting into vanq off the back of a bunch of wins vs an Anji makes it feel much more deserved. Now to go back to getting my ass handed to me by a lot of the region lmao.

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

So I tanked my placements with Venom when I did them back when it first released, landed in like gold or something, and then didnt really touch the game much. Since coming back to play much more with 2.0 ive been slowly grinding away at ranked, and made it to diamond, but can def go further.

who needs regular sleep when you can get praise from this guy for getting back to master ball tier.

Pokemon speedruns havent been nice to me lately, but Nullstar has So many safety strats on stages ends up working out much better than doing dumb things just to try and squeeze half a second out of a stage lmao Getting through all 5 worlds in under half an hour is pretty neat, but i can do better

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

As someone who has used Sableye as kind of my stream mascot/icon/etc, its been long overdue that I put together a team to use one in champions. The consistency of this team ive put together is very questionable, but it has worked in ways I didnt expect.

Pokemon Team ive put together using both Mega Froslass and Mega Sableye.

ASM2026 Schedule is out, and I get to hopefully get some redemption for one of my most scuffed runs ever lmao!!

Going live! This one has been on the wishlist for a while and its now finally out. twitch.tv/glphoenix

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Eyyy made it to master ball with this team i put together. Was a bit rough towards the end of the push but I'm quite happy with how I was playing it. My team building isn't too crash hot so another reason I'm rather happy that i was able to do it with my own team.

It's still making its way through ultra ball, but im pleasantly surprised at how well this team is going for me. There's some holes in it, sure, but the 6 win streak has been nice in getting me closer to master ball.

Floette - Floettite

After three runs in a row finishing in 3:53, finally broke the curse and got a pb! Funnily enough though, this doesnt move me up the leaderboard, it puts me behind second place by 2 seconds.

My hair is being exceedingly fluffy today. Also, i should get around to getting it coloured again.

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

I can finally take a break from this! (but not for too long) I've been trying to get this run under 3:50 for a while now, and we finally got there. And the wild thing is that there's still time to shave off this! But that's for some other time, I need to focus on some other things for my sanity.

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

Ive been making a little bit of progress here and there. This game is too cute. The 'oh let me just do this one last thing' trap is very real, and im loving every minute of it.

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Gonna be streaming more Pokopia because its been a great, chill time. The music has me so incredibly mellow. twitch.tv/glphoenix Also, ASM submissions are now open so I gotta work on getting those sorted out. That's something for later me to deal with because being a ditto is more important atm.

021

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

The Red Hare variant you can get from the DLC requires beating both Lu Bu and Diao Chan at the same time, on Ultimate Warrior difficulty, under 10 minutes I ended up using every bit of those 10 minutes. There's a lot of extra mechanics going on that made that last pixel of his health last that long

000

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Alright so Zhang Jiao isnt too bad. Still some room for optimising, but that's at least one of them kinda sorted.

Havent gotten around to putting together a schedule post for the streams for this week, but tonight/tomorrow im going to be focusing on speedruns for the Dynasty Warriors DLC. Some other things throughout the week until Pokopia comes out. But yeah, looking at mostly Zhang Jiao/Dong Zhuo tonight.

as always I find it hard to choose just one...

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Stream schedule for the week:

Monday/Tuesday - Pokemon Sword Speedruns

Wednesday - Dynasty Warriors Origins

Thursday - Mario Kart World

Saturday - Dynasty Warriors Origins

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

We love a good pb round these parts, and so close to that sub 3:50 as well. It's kinda wild that the run ended up going as well as it did because the first 40 minutes were bad enough that I was about to reset lmao.

So, Eastern Exorcist. Back in 2023 I got to show this game at ASM and also for a GDQ hotfix. Both of those runs were scuffed in their own ways, and since then the run has gotten a fair bit faster. Its been a while since ive played it, but want to derust the run to submit for events again.

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

I havent been playing too much SF6 lately, just havent been as driven to be playing fighting games as of late, but I do jump on for a couple sets here and there... accidentally getting to an 11 win streak, oops. Im in danger :)

GLPhoenix @glphoenix.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Energy has been kinda non existent the past couple days so simple schedule pic it is. It doesn't show any Nioh 3, but with how the pokemon speedrun likes to treat me, theres a good chance I'll be playing it on Tue/Wed. #glpstreams #glpschedules

Stream schedule for the upcoming week:

Mon - Dynasty Warriors Speedruns
Tue/Wed - Pokemon Sword Speedruns
Thur - Dynasty Warriors Speedruns
Fri - Eastern Exorcist Speedruns
Sat - Dynasty Warriors Speedruns
