You forgot to mention that he ran the game at Frost Fatales 2023, the winter edition of GDQ's "all-women-and-femmes" (funny how they make the separation) speedrunning event.As for John, he gave up on his speedrunning ambitions immediately after his other time was beat, not even attempting to put up a better time. I think he still bragged occasionally about being the best Peach speedrunner in the world for a while, despite the stupidity of such a statement, but I don't think he brings it up anymore.
In fact, I'm pretty he went through of all of this just so that he could submit a run there.
I don't know if narcissistic is the best term to describe them but it's certainly weird to host an hour long trauma dump session during your event's finaleI do like RPG Limit Break. *snip* I dunno, maybe RPG speedrunners are just less likely to be narcissists.
As for specific RPG speedrunners, Keizaron was one of if not the biggest smug asshole involved with GDQ who mostly ran RPG games. Funnily enough he also had a run of Pokémon Emerald that went overestimate, except that time it was in the middle event so runs had to be canceled so as to not ruin the schedule entirely. Now that I think about it, the only reason why they agreed to showcase Pokémon Emerald this year was because it was the finale, so even if things would (predictably) go sideways, it wouldn't be such a disaster for the remainder of the event. I mean, there's a reason why this screenshot exists:

He also had the audacity to tweet this after Lovare released her acussations against the ESA staff...
[O/A]...while he had a court case due to allegations of domestic abuse (he got cleared but that's not the point)
So yeah, there isn't really such a thing as a well-adjusted speedrunner; some are just more delusional and think they can be a respectable public figure/a voice of reason when their relevancy revolves around playing a GBA game for so long that they've memorized every stage.
