Resident Evil Franchise Speedrun Marathon
Last year I covered Bawkbasoup's Resident Evil Franchise Marathon. This year I'm focusing on EvilCherryBerry's variation of the same concept. Before I even talk about these speedruns. She with her moderators been very kind to their community. Unlike Bawbasoup, I did talked to EvilCherryBerry a couple times during all of this.
Don't worry I'm going to reveal the insane Resident Evil lineup she's done in the marathon. Just like Bawkbasoup's RE Marathon, this was a massive love letter to the franchise. Especially I had a somewhat slower start to the year. This marathon up to it's end kept me entertained for hours. Yes it really lives up to it's name in every sense of the word.
Streamed from January 2nd to January 19th. Also she took a couple days off during these runs. Just in case you were wondering about the missing days.

I quickly wanted to make any confusion the lineup left behind. Yes she speedran Resident Evil Survivor twice. This was due to the paths led to a different character within the story. For her first Umbrella Chronicles speedrun in the marathon. She mostly focus on the main levels excluding Russia section. She played most of the campaign I was fine with that.
There are some notable differences in Resident Evil: Director's Cut DualShock Edition. Her last Umbrella Chronicles speedrun focus on most extra levels. This doesn't include Hunk, Ada and the bonus level respectively. Yes she speedran Resident Evil 2 Classic three times in a row. There's a lot of randomizer runs in this RE marathon too.
She previously speedrun RE2 and RE4 both versions with their randomizer mods. These are vastly different from each other. A lot of these runs are close by making anyone trying to write the lineup down easy to miss something. Personally she kept things interesting right up to the end of the marathon. I still wish we could've gotten just one more RE run.
Obviously it would take hours to fully cover every RE run. I decided to only discuss in details the runs that stands out the most. In a handful of categories to make it easier to find em. I ended up with choosing sevem RE runs that perfectly describes the entire RE marathon in a nut shell. Some may say the very best she brings to the table.
My choice for her best RE classic run is Resident Evil: Director's Cut DualShock Edition run. I felt it was a good showcase how it differs from the other two PS1 versions of the game. It also among a few RE runs I didn't even expect to show up in this marathon. I do recommend people check out this speedrun.
My choice for her best RE remake run is Resident Evil 2 Remake Claire B run. Some might disagree with my choice. This was the most impressive Claire run that's not modded in the marathon. I always been an huge fan of Resident Evil 2 for a long time. This particular run reminded me of that period playing either PS1 version of RE2.
My choice for her best RE spinoff run is Resident Evil: Revelations 2. Despite trouble she had during this speedrun. It was some truly amazing stuff to watch. It was a pleasure watching an RE streamer that loves this RE game. She also did the entire campaign by herself live too. I am deeply impressed she pulled this speedrun off.
My choice for her best RE classic rando run is Resident Evil 4 Classic Separate Ways rando run. End of the day this is my RE blog. I say this particular rando run is worthy of that title. I know some won't like I didn't choose a main campaign's rando run here. In all honestly, this rando run even made the mode way better than it ever was.
My choice for her best RE remake rando run is Resident Evil 4 Remake randon run. To clarify, Leon's run was mind blowing!!! I even felt this was my favorite run of the entire RE marathon. From start to finish you really aren't going to wanna look away. This rando run was truly mind blowing. This also among her longest speedruns with a few surprises you won't see coming.
My choice for her best RE mini game run is Leech Hunter. Oh okay look she barely done any RE mini games in this marathon. So I was quite happy to see Leech Hunter getting a run. I always enjoyed this mini game more than the actual campaign myself. I was fine she didn't go for an 100 leeches run. It still was a great run that's worth checking out.
My choice for her best secondary RE run is Resident Evil 7 End of Zoe run. In the past, I highly praise this DLC campaign. She was rather creative to make this a fun speedrun. I was even surprised she went right through it so damn fast. I felt this to me was her perfect RE7 speedrun of the marathon. You really couldn't ask for more than this.
I also should point out the entire RE marathon getting uploaded in long stream videos. A lot of hours went into a truly amazing RE marathon. I couldn't even ask for much more than what was given. I still felt not enough Resident Evil lol. Maybe I love this franchise a bit too much. A lot of these speedruns I never seen em played like this prior.
It came off as unless you're watching this RE marathon. You might've never known of these tricks she used in em. I felt she actually deserves to be called the Greatest Resident Evil Speedrunner. She just went right into every single RE run like a boss!!! You can even tell she's having so much fun. For what it's worth the marathon lasted a little longer than I expected.
A little over half the month in fact. It was a lot of fun watching her speedrun every single RE game on that lineup. This also was an Subathon where every five subscribes adds another RE run. The entire RE marathon felt like a huge fan service to those watching it. I am very glad to came to every single stream this RE marathon was in.
EvilCherryBerry recently been doing speedrun marathons on her streams. Majority of those already on her YouTube channel. I personally wanna thank her for doing this awesome RE marathon. I really enjoyed myself truthfully, please keep up the good work. What a way to kick start a year than doing something this crazy right?
You can tell she really enjoys Resident Evil series. She sure loves playing as Jill and Claire lol. I felt enough of the franchise is presented to justify it's title. You could say yes even the kitchen sink included lol. I actually have no real criticisms towards the streamer neither this RE marathon whatsoever. Even the not great RE games don't stay around long enough to make you sick either.
