I can offer one game!

My twitch page: http://www.twitch.tv/general_beatrix

1. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (NG+ Hard) [Estimate: 01:15:00] - Fast paced 1 hour-ish run full of glitches, out of bounds, skips, quick boss kills and amazing music. I'm currently the WR Holder for this category at 00:59:18 -

Metroid Prime - Any% [1:30] - Come on sub-hour in-game run at a marathon.

Super Monkey Ball 1 - Expert [0:30] - I need revenge on E46. Sad

Alternatively there could be a Beginner/Advanced/Expert run without Extra stages (probably [0:40]), though I feel this is only worth doing if it's a race.

Super Monkey Ball 2 - Story or Expert [0:45] - I feel like Expert would be more interesting, and Story was done in January, but Story would have more donation incentives (file name and doing Master separately).

Pikmin 3 - Any% [1:15] - The Pikmin series hasn't been represented at any major marathons yet, and Pikmin 3 is new and seems popular. There's also some funny out of bounds skips already. The estimate is very likely to go down.

DK64 runs are in order of preference

1. Donkey Kong 64(101%) [Estimate: 6:50:00] - Yes i know this is pretty long but I really think it would be great run for the marathon. This run is a non-stop glitchfest except for a level or two. Bidding war for what kong to use for certain bosses. Could be split into two really easily if needed.

2. Donkey Kong 64(Bingo Race) [Estimate: 1:30:00] - DK64 has a Bingo board, example: http://dkspeedruns.com/Games/DK64/Bingo/Bingo.html?seed=748894 that I think would make for a really intense Race between Znernicus and I.

3. Donkey Kong 64(Any% Race) [Estimate: 1:00:00] - If Znernicus and/or RingRush can make it this would make for a great race. I ran this last year at AGDQ 13'. Got to show off Fake Key and some of the funny stuff this game had to offer(Pocket Boulder) would love to actually do a good run this time Tongue

4. Dante's Inferno(Any% NG+) [Estimate: 2:00:00] - This game has a large amount of tricks and weird Oob climbing that makes a really entertaining run. It's rated M but Twitch allows it and I would be prepared to do a Graveyard shift for this run. Donation incentive for handcam could be done

Visually Appealing

http://www.twitch.tv/cwsatoryu

Alright, here are the games I want to offer.

1. Castlevania the Adventure Rebirth - [30:00] - A nice old school styled Castlevania that kinda flew under everyone's radar because it's on WiiWare. It would be a nice change of pace from only having 1, 3, and 4.

2. Ducktales Remastered - [1:00:00] - Expect a lot of people to offer this one. Cause despite having come out this week, a lot of time has already been put into it. It's a very fun game based on an NES classic. And it's made by Wayforward, and we love those guys. Donations could be taken to play on Extreme difficulty, music choice, and the order levels are done.

3. Mighty Switch Force 2 - [45:00] - Another Wayforward game for ya. The MSF games are puzzle platformers with an emphasis on time attacking, so it's a natural speed run game. I chose 2 over 1 because of the donation incentives. While both games have costumes to donate for, 2 has extra collectibles. For now I'd play the 3DS version, but if the WiiU version comes out before the marathon, I'd play that instead. That would also add the extra incentive of hard mode.

4. Mega Man Zero 3 - [1:00:00] - Thanks again Mike for letting the Zero series have a chance. Zero 3 is the favorite of the 4 games for most, and for good reason. A donation incentive could be for the extra boss fight with Phantom. If Kuribon is coming, I'll gladly give this to him.

5. Mega Man X8 - [1:20:00] - This would be a good change of pace from having the usual X games. It may not be the most popular X game, but it's certainly better received than X6, and has its fair share of tricks. The estimate is pretty generous, but I fully expect to beat the SDA time of 1:16:xx by at least 5 minutes.

MrGrunz is a guay

Ocarina of Time (All Dungeons) [Estimate: 2:00] A relatively new category similar to MST but skips Ganon's Trials which ends up changing the run a lot. It has lots of really cool and unique tricks and is arguably the most broken category. Moltov and I were also considering making this a race.

NightSky [Estimate: 0:55] A fun, simple little 2D indie game. Mostly straightforward roll the ball to the right action with lots of small tricks. Not the most exciting game but it's very chill, would be a good late night game. Possible donation incentive for normal or alternative mode.

Caracarn

Final Fantasy X (Estimate: 11 hours) - This was almost in AGDQ 2013, but FF9 was chosen for it's better donation incentives. Now, FF10 still does not have great donation incentives, so my idea is to have a bidding war between this and one other FF game that I play. I believe this would draw many more donations than FF10 by itself.

FF9 is off the table since that was played last year, so that leaves FF7 and FF8 (I would greatly prefer FF8).

Final Fantasy VII (with Slots) (Estimate: 10 hours) - This estimate is assuming getting Yuffie/Vincent and maybe killing Weapons or something.

Final Fantasy VIII (Estimate: 10 hours) - This is assuming bad card luck and killing extra bosses.

If the FF10 HD Remaster has cutscene skips, then I could run that to lower that estimate, but that is a big if at this point.

Spiderman 2 on GCN (I'm comfortable with that version). It has some cool movement tricks, a couple of glitches, and literally everyone who's ever played it loves it to bits. Estimate 1:40, hopefully I can bring that down as I get more consistent.

Super Monkey Ball 2: Story Mode [Estimate 45:00] This run was a hit last AGDQ, plus, It’s Monkeys rolling in balls, who doesn’t like that?! I feel I can provide exciting and informative commentary as well as showcase how hard this game is. PB is 35:44 RTA Timing and I’d like to do this as a race against Peanutphobia or miles if they are down for it. Potential incentive for a Master Mode Race.

If I end up double posting, I apologize. It's no secret that there's a ton of traffic in this thread right now.
While I run quite a few games, I believe only one is worthy of seeing the light of AGDQ

1. The Hobbit Any% (GameCube, 2003) [Estimate 1:40:00]: While this game appeals to the huge Lord of the Rings fan base, this game is also extremely appealing to speedrunning fans alike. This game has extremely visible breaks, huge loading zone manipulations, and out of bound physical breaks. I would absolutely love to run this at AGDQ. An idea for a donation incentive would be to show people the hidden unfinished beta level that was left in the games memory.

2013-08-17 12:00:26 pm

Majora's Mask [J] - All Masks (Estimate: 3:10:00): A highly popular game with the metagame having changed a lot since its last showing at AGDQ 2012. All Masks is fresh for marathons and I'd be showcasing a new route I made so there should be surprises even for veterans!

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

My Twitch page is http://www.twitch.tv/tetsuo9999
My Youtube is http://www.youtube.com/Tetsuo9999

I've only got two offers:

- Sengoku Basara 3 Utage - Kenshin any% [estimate 1:00:00] : This is a solid action game that deserves more love, and is the only Musou/Dynasty Warriors-type game that's suitable for marathons in my opinion. I think the fast movement speeds, optimized boss fights and combos will make this a good marathon game. My current record is at and is ~45 minutes RTA, so the estimate could be met for sure.

-Super House of Dead Ninjas "Ling Tong%" race with Iongravirei (twitch.tv/iongravirei) [estimate 10:00] - This would be a short and simple race that could probably work well as a filler game. Ion and I have talked about doing this for a while. Ling Tong% = Nunchaku, Boomerang, Shrapnel+ and Fire magic for the loadout.

Okami HD [New Game+ - Any%] [Estimate: 1:45:00] We recently found a new faster but harder route wich involes more skips/tricks. I'm the current WR holder [time: 1:30:08] and a sub 1:30:00 is possible now!!

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood [Estimate - 25:00] [Best - 21:53]
I'm offering Richter any%. Most of people familiar with this game have only ever seen a run of it at a marathon using Maria, or the PSP remake, both of which are quite different. This run contains: Hydro Storm, moonwalking, bibles, and backflipping.

Socket [Estimate - 35:00] [Best - 30:10]
This game may best fit in AwfulGDQ. At first glance, it's seen as a Sonic ripoff, but it's a pretty fun game to run. People seemed to enjoy both watching and insulting it when I did it for Segathon. It's a fun platformer with good visuals and music.

Hey, I figured I would try my hand at getting into AGDQ this year.

My twitch page is http://www.twitch.tv/jarvitz

My games suggestions

1. Mr. Driller Drill Spirits (2000 meters) (15 minutes): The Mr. Driller series has never been represented at any prior A/SGDQ and they are interesting games. The game requires the player to think, and act fast because it is different each time. It is also possible to do a blindfolded run of 300 meters.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Ganonless) (1:10 very generous estimate): Ganonless is a category where you warp to the credits. It has many tricks that have never been done in the past, including lon lon stick, swordless DoT skip, and timer wrong warp. It also has RBA, something that hasn't been in a A/SGDQ since 2011.

3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Bingo) (1:35 estimate): I'd be willing to do that bingo race that cosmo mentioned before, seeing as bingo is my specialty and tests knowledge of the game, not just route following. Bingo does a variety of tricks and is a good race because everyone does something different.

4. Donkey Kong 64 (bingo or any%) (bingo- 1:20) (any%-1 hour): IF cfox does not get 101%, I would love to hop into one of these races, being only slightly worse than them, and because it is DK64, anything can happen and the race would be interesting.

Journey to Silius (Estimate 15:00) - Another cool Sunsoft game. I know it was originally on the schedule for the last AGDQ, but had to get cut because it ended up with no runners, so I'm willing to pick it up for this AGDQ. I've also been quietly working on a run of this so I'm keeping in good practice. I'll post my current progress in the planning forums a bit later and will try to stream attempts next week.

Worthless categories WR master

My twitch page is http://www.twitch.tv/bismuth9

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (PC) (any%) [Estimate 2:20:00]: This game was first released and universally known on the N64 but the PC port they did the next year is actually much better. Turok 2 includes badass weapons, dinosaurs, strafe-running and a handful of interesting sequence breaks. On the first half of the game I am currently over 2 minutes faster than the current (segmented!) record on SDA. The second half still needs polishing but it's only a matter of time before I optimize it just as much. There could be a few donation incentives, too.

Minecraft (any%) [Estimate 30:00]: Yes, Minecraft can be beaten. Two years ago, they introduced the Ender Dragon, which spawns a portal into the credits when killed. The run features a very convenient seed and a glitch to duplicate items. I also kill the dragon by making beds explode. Since Minecraft is so popular, it would surely attract a lot of curious viewers and Notch would be pleased! My time right now is 18:35, but I put an estimate of 30:00 because a lot of things can go wrong. Marathon luck, anybody?

I could add [REMOVED] and Hocus Pocus [20:00] in the lot. Both games are short, 90's classics on PC. I believe those two are a bit more of a long shot but if one of my main games is accepted I'd be glad to suggest those two.

Note: it is be possible that Minecraft any% could be done in a marathon with a random seed. The estimate would have to go up to about 1:30 though, but I would be ready to practice random seeds if there's a need for it.

Edit: Removed Jazz Jackrabbit 2 as Vortale suggested it and is much much better than I ever will be at this game.

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (any%, aka 71-star) [Estimate 3:40:00] - I haven't worked on this too much yet, but my PB is 3:28:54, and the WR is 3:11:30. I aim to get a lot closer to the WR time, and hopefully reach a similar level of quality to my SMG1 run, by the marathon. Both me and Iateyourpie are working on this, and this may be a race depending on our skill levels in January.

2. F-Zero GX (Grand Prix All Cups OR Beat all Staff Ghosts) [Estimate 1:35:00] - First of all, if CGN or anyone better than/equal to me wants to run GX, I'll very gladly let them run it. If no one else offers it though, then my goal would be to play every non-Story track; currently undecided on GP vs. staff ghosts though. I've been steadily improving my times since January, and am now ranked 32nd instead of ~45th.

1. Borderlands 2 (Any%, 4 Player Co-Op) [Estimate 3:15:00] {Team: iMysty, UberGoos, TeaWrex and Myself} - This game is an absolute glitchfest, with each additional player adding more glitches. It’s got a big community and the developers are in to participate during the marathon; best of all plenty of donation incentives. Video Ref http://goo.gl/1gz2da

2. Surgeon Simulator 2013 (Any% Solo or Co-Op) [Estimate 15:00] - This game is the physical embodiment of hilarious glitches and things going wrong. This category covers every surgery from start to space. It also has a near limitless donation incentive potential.

3. Anodyne (Any%) [7:00] - Indie LttP with a broom instead of a sword, great story and fun mechanics. Quick very broken run through the game.

Mega Man X2 Any% [Estmiate: 0:55:00]- The most techincal X speedgame out there. Incredibly entertaining and fast paced.

Mega Man X3 Any% (SNES version)[Estimate: 1:00:00]- By far the most entertaining category of X3. My personal best is a 40:32 and on average I get high 40's.
Lots of cool movement and boss fights and the ever hype elevator skip.

Sonic Riders All Stories [Estimate: 0:45:00] - Game that rewards you by showing off with tricks. Pretty fun and fast run. I'd like to race DarkSpinesSonic in it if he's down.

Star Fox Adventures Any% [Estimate: 5:45:00] - The whole run places huge emphasis on movement and menu management and is quite a relaxing run.
The run would be perfect for graveyard shift (I asked around and it seems Star Fox is most popular in Europe) and
overall it was given positive reviews.

Secret of the Stars Any% [Estimate: 4:10:00] - A game that Butters likes (omg that says everything) and is considered to be the worst rpg ever made but in a speedrun sense is perfect.
Donation incentives for all five main characters and the town name (6 character limit).
Oh and I recommend this for Awful Games Done Quick block.

I'd be down for a race in X2 or X3 though I'd need to discuss details in a pm with Mike.

1. Secret of Man 3 Person Co-op with StingerPA and Yagamoth (any%) (SNES, EST: 2:40:00) – StingerPA will likely have said a lot of what this game is about, but I guess I can add a few things. The game is super glitchy, and has some great skips. There's character name incentives like other rpgs, so there's also that. And it's an ARPG, so the action and movement should keep the streamer's attentions.

2. Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga (any%) (GBA, EST 3:00:00) – recently this game became really broken due to a glitch with barrels that lets you clip through basically everything (Japanese version only). The estimate will likely go down as I get good at the game (just started learning it), but it's a good starting point in case I'm wrong (Estimate is based off the current WR (2:4X:XX) which is a decent run, but definitely not optimized.) One final thing. It may be an RPG, but the battles are really tense and interesting due to timed hits and dodges. Stream watchers might enjoy it more because of that.

3. Shaq Fu (SNES, EST: 15:00) – Without a doubt an Awful Games Done Quick game. Really odd 2-D fighter for the SNES where you control Shaquille O'Neal is his quest to rescue a boy named Nezu from a mummy in football pads named Sett-Ra. Oh and if Jackinthebox goes, this could be a race.

1. Borderlands 2 NG+ any% (PC) (1:45:00) The game's stat system allows for unbounded stat increases with enough pregrinding. Fire rate/damage/health are boosted to obscene levels to allow abuse of the infinite ammo glitch to be constantly rocket jumping at obscene speeds and oneshotting bosses.

2. Gone Home any% (PC) (0:05:00) A newly released independent game about exploring a house. Run itself is under a minute long and essentially a joke run. Think dear esther except considerably shorter.

3. Giant Bomb Fighting Championship any% (PC) (0:10:00) A sidescrolling platformer that is an awful game to be played during some sort of block dedicated to that sort of game. Very bad and glitchy physics, very bad graphics, and a very bad soundtrack.

I just have one game.

Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar - race between myself and Method1cal (estimate 3:15:00) – The Battle Network series got a cult following for its RPG elements combined with active gameplay that requires a good amount of skill and planning. MMBN6 is Perfectly marathon safe, and the RNG impact is minimal. We would be similarly skilled, so a race would be close (within a few minutes), but Method1cal could do a better solo run if you prefer that.

Donation incentives could include a link battle between the two of us, or optional scenarios that wouldn't change the estimate.

http://www.twitch.tv/mmbnmarathon (for MMBN marathon run tonight at approx. 8:00 PM EST)

http://www.twitch.tv/forte27 (my Twitch channel, I will be running practice this Sunday afternoon)
http://www.twitch.tv/method1cal (method1cal’s channel)

I’ll make sure Method1cal posts later to confirm these plans. He’s managing a marathon right now, but he’ll probably be available tomorrow.

P.S. I second FearowofTime's Super Monkey Ball 2 run. He's amazing at it.

1. A Boy and His Blob: Trouble in Blobolonia
[Any% Glitched - 5-10 minutes, 100% (All Treasures) - 25 minutes]
a. Any% Glitched is a ridiculously short run clocking in at a little over 2 minutes. Extremely glitch heavy but nothing too strict to worry about in a marathon. It's a hilarious watch with the route involving running backwards through the credits before beating the game. This could very well be the Die Hard of AGDQ2014.
Vid: http://www.twitch.tv/zephyrz/c/1726031
b. 100% (All Treasures) shows off much more of the game. I believe it would be an interesting watch. There is one section of walking right for 2 minutes straight, but other than that it's pretty nonstop action.
This game could be in AwfulGDQ.

2. A Boy and His Blob: The Rescue of Princess Blobette
[Any% Glitched - 5-10 minutes]
a. Any% glitched, as with the original, has a severely game breaking glitch allowing you to get to the end of the game without exploring much of the castle at all. It is a quick run with a ridiculous amount of trampoline bouncing. This game could also be in the AwfulGDQ section.

3. A Boy and His Blob Wii
[Any% - 2 hours 30 minutes (3 hours)]
a. Although a ridiculously game breaking glitch has not (yet) been found, this game is a nice run with different bean optimizations used for platforming and navigation.
Note: The second time in parentheses is because it would depend if you allowed running the game off of a harddrive. The loading times are the only thing affected. If the HDD is not allowed then the second estimate is accurate.
Vid: (This is with loading from the HDD and forgive the brightness issues.)

4. Antichamber
[Any% - 15 minutes]
a. First Person Puzzle Game with simple graphics; however the game is extremely Escher-esque. With some cool sequence breaking the game can be plowed through very quickly.

Long live the King!

I have two games to offer;

1. Conker's Bad Fur Day (100%) - [2:00:00] - Been a long time since we've seen it and I think a lot of people are hoping it'll make it. I lead all the current active runners and I also made the speedrun tutorial. The Great Mighty Poo song incentive?

2. Brütal Legend any% (normal mode) - [2:30:00] - Not a lot runners for this, but appeals metal fans. It can be run on PC or Xbox360, not much difference. The music is great, the characters are fun to watch. An epic game all-in-all. Boar Bather incentive?
