Lucas B

**Lucas B** (also known as **Lucas Bolton**) is a semi-retired Scottish competitor, and founding member of Square 2 Charge. In July 2023, he became the winner of the first Square 2 Charge tournament, The 1999 Speedrunning Championship and was awarded the S2C World Championship, thereby making him the inaugural world champion.

## Tournament and Event History

### Prior to joining Square 2 Charge

Lucas competed in a previous organization, and broke away from that to form Square 2 Charge along with Bobbledink, ConorDavid, Danta Fanta, JaNinJuice and MTB. He has also competed for International Spyro Grand Prix, with his best result being a fourth place finish in the Super Gex League. He has also competed for Kolizzian's Speedrun Community with his best result being a Round 2 finish in the Disney Dash and Wumpa Classic Championship 2 events. Additionally he has competed for Games Raced Awfully where he is a former Gex Cup holder (the last one to have the cup before it retired), Super Sonic Championship, and GRA Championship winner.

### Debuting in Super Charge Series 1

Lucas would compete in Square 2 Charge's first Super Charge episode, which saw him compete against ConorDavid, Danta Fanta, MTB and Skater6453 in a Spyro 3 Egg Hunt, with Lucas finishing in fourth. He went on to face Bobbledink, MTB and Thepopcornfiend in a Spyro Wheel of Fortune race, finishing in second place, behind eventual winner Bobbledink. In the third Super Charge episode, he would face ConorDavid in a losing effort, playing Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets (PS1). In the final two Super Charge episodes for Series 1, Lucas would win the first 1999 Exhibition match against ConorDavid in Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time, before losing the second 1999 exhibition match against ConorDavid in Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue.

### Tournament debut in the 1999 Speedrunning Championship (2023)

Lucas would join the 1999 Speedrunning Championship as a competitor and a moderator, assisting tournament host ConorDavid. He was drawn for Group Kilkenny against Dr Crusher, Garion, MTB, and Skater6453.

His first match was against MTB, playing 40 Winks, which Lucas would go to win. He would go on to lose his second match to his good friend Dr Crusher in Crash Team Racing, before getting back-to-back wins against Garion and Skater6453 in Rugrats: Studio Tour and Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time respectively. As a result, Lucas qualified for the Quarter-Finals, as although he tied Dr Crusher with a win/loss record of 3-1, Crusher held a win over Lucas, meaning Crusher automatically advanced to the Semi-Finals, while Lucas advanced to the Quarter Finals.

In the Quarter Finals, Lucas was supposed to meet Garth Vader in Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue. However their race was cancelled because Garth had technical issues and was unable to compete, handing Lucas the win by default. However, in a display of good sportsmanship, Lucas still ran the race solo.

Semi-Finals, Lucas faced off against the undefeated Group Cork winner, The Kiwi Dragon. The pair would race in Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue, which saw a combination of mistakes cost Kiwi the lead, and opportunities to catch up. As a result, Lucas won a spot in the Grand Final, and ended Kiwi's undefeated run, sending him down to the Second Chance Triple Charge.

In the Grand Final, Lucas raced against ConorDavid and Dr Crusher, both of whom had earned their places by defeating Skater6453 and JaNinJuice. The trio were joined by The Kiwi Dragon, who had defeated the latter pair in the Second Chance Triple Charge to earn the last spot in the Grand Final. During the three stages of the Grand Final, Lucas would face stiff competition from ConorDavid and Dr Crusher, with The Kiwi Dragon essentially being a non-factor. Lucas would win the first stage, playing Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time, earning himself 3 points. He went on to place second in the second stage, playing Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, and won the third stage playing Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue, gaining 2 points and 3 points respectively for those finishes. With a total of 8 points, Lucas was crowned the winner of the 1999 Speedrunning Championship.

In addition to this, Lucas was crowned the inaugural S2C World Champion, upon being presented with the title by the its' designer The Kiwi Dragon, and Kolizzian's Speedrun Community representative TK47 at the conclusion of the event, after Lucas had earlier jokingly complained he didn't have anything to show for his victory, "not even a t-shirt".

### Competing in Super Charge Series 2

During the 1999 Speedrunning Championship Tournament, Lucas would compete in two episodes of Super Charge Series 2. In Episode 1, he faced off against newcomer Zed the Insomniac, in a Spyro 3 Reignited race which saw him lose to the New Zealand native. Then in Episode 3, he faced Kolapro in a losing effort, playing Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, in a race to promote the Kolizzian's Speedrun Community.
