SleepyVelvet Posted April 27 Per the thread title, I assume you mean how cool a speedrunner's name is, right? Not to be confused with how good the speedrunner is, themselves, at the game. Such things are less important. In that case, there used to be this player named "Kinetic Beverage", a very good player but that isn't the point here. In general and in this player's case, two words concatenated together usually make for great names - especially when it's an Adjective+Noun combo (as all cool people are). In this case, it's even more thought provoking: what is a "Kinetic Beverage"? Is it a nonsense combo that simply sounds cool? Does it have something to do with moving liquids, something sophisticated like thermo-fluid-dynamics, or something casual and silly like sloshing milk or a vibrating, bubbly soda? Either way, I haven't seen this "Kinetic Beverage" person in a while on this forum. I hope they are doing well. 6 Share this post Link to post

Xaser Posted April 27 If we're talking purely about names, Vile gets bonus points because he managed to carve out an identity while using what would normally be a very generic username. Someone mentions Vile with a capital V and people go "ah yes, damn he's good", not "yeah I killed sixty of those an hour ago, sorry who were we talking about again?" 19 Share this post Link to post

NaZa Posted April 28 Knowing Sedlo is an actual word in our language (saddle - it is even similar phonetically) makes it an automatic top 1 for me. Not biased at all. #ŽivjelaHrvatska Spoiler Other than that, +1 for Vile, and also Brainfreezzzzz as it's super fun writing all the z's at the end. And an unironic shout for Bloodite Krypto because that name goes quite hard regardless of the lore behind BK. 0 Share this post Link to post
kvothesixstring Posted April 28 Hitherto (just a good word) EnragedEggplant (although I always refer to them as AngryAubergine) Myscha, the Sled Dog Pleymo Skepticist So those were the only ones I could think of that hadn't been mentioned.
