UPDATE!! 3/22/14

WHO:
We have enough runners to do all games and a few categories now! We can still even make room for a few more if possible. Current runner list:

Dxtr
Ohon
InfestedRiche
Barrylesjambes
crak_atak
kraflab
bangerra
sinister1
duckfist

WHEN:
Not set in stone but I would like to shoot for early to mid May, 2014. Saturday is the preferable day and we would start in the early afternoon to try to accommodate all time zones.

WHAT GAMES/CATEGORIES?
Due to the short nature of Ninja Gaiden games some games will be raced multiple times like NG1 also because of how many runners it has. The lineup could look something like this:

Ninja Gaiden
Ninja Gaiden II
Ninja Gaiden
Ninja Gaiden III
Ninja Gaiden
Ninja Gaiden Shadow
Ninja Gaiden pacifist

CAN I PLAY?
If you are interested in signing up please post your stream, which Ninja Gaiden you play, and your current PB(s). Feel free to list multiple games and categories. For example:

twitch.tv/sinisterwon Ninja Gaiden - 12:14, Ninja Gaiden II - 11:52

ROUGH DRAFT OF SCHEDULE:
This is very rough and subject to change but just to show the possible setup. An alternative to the multiple NG 1 races would be to just reset the relay and do a second loop/multiple relays.

Ninja Gaiden I: Dxtr vs. Ohon
Ninja Gaiden II: Duckfist vs. sinister1
Ninja Gaiden I: Infestedriche vs. Barrylesjambes
Ninja Gaiden III: crak_atak vs. Barrylesjambes
Ninja Gaiden I: Duckfist vs. Sinister1
Ninja Gaiden Shadow: kraflab vs. bangerra
Ninja Gaiden I pacifist: dxtr vs. sinister1

LOGISTICS:
This will need a good amount of work, but I have a feeling IRC and Skype will be involved. I will update this as things become more clear.

That is fine because we may end up adding additional categories depending on how things play out. Any chance you would pick up NG 3 any% ??
I don't mind learning it i'll need some time to learn though any idea on when this might be happening like a time frame

i've messed around a little with any% so would probably take a few weeks to workout for myself
Hax I used all of my strengthz
You had me at "ninja gaiden" and "relay" in the same sentence Sinister. I also thought to myself if there was interest for NG relay soon after the MM one.

Ninja Gaiden III Any% - 14:25 RTA timing U.S. Version

Excellent, we definitely have the most need for NG 3.

@gus: if you can do it without too much trouble, I am also going to contact barrylesjambes who has a PB just under 14 in NG3 I think.
so i just did some yolo runs today i got up to act 5 without too much of problem i think i could learn any% in a few weeks practice but i'll keep updated

Oh yes!

Ninja Gaiden any% - 11:59
Ninja Gaiden Pacifist - 14:51
Ninja Gaiden low% - 12:54

Im guessing most priority one Any% and Pacifist. Since theyre the most popular.
Hax I used all of my strengthz
NG3 14:13 RTA now, hopefully that sub 14 soon
NG1 any%: 12:17
NG1 low%: 14:2x (I think so at least, I only tried this once)

NG2 any%: 10:40
NG2 low%: 12:51
NG2 pacifist: 16:22

NG3 any%: 14:42

I could probably pick up NG1 pacifist without significant effort.  Got a low 30 minute time on my first try a long time ago.  Could probably hit sub-18 or something quickly. 

Some issues off the top of my head with this:
- Extremely short relay race, probably around 40 minutes.  Back-to-back races?
- These are very volatile runs.  A death on the boss rush in NG1 would ruin a team.  A single mistake in act 7 in NG3 would do the same.  Perhaps playing the J version could alleviate that.
- Lack of NG2 and NG3 runners.  I have way more fun playing NG1!

I have a lot on my plate, though.  I won't spend significant time practicing due to having games in upcoming marathons.  Still, I support this, and at worst could commentate every game in pretty good detail.

Due to length, we could get back to back races, or depending on how many categories we have maybe we would not need to. Yet another possibility is since there are so many NG1 runners we have like 3 races of that before moving to the other games. I am not looking to make this a super long thing, just something fun.

I agree there is some volatility, but in NG 1 all you have to do is kill the tail if it is really that much of an issue. I am all for runners using the J version if possible for NG 3. NG3 we will have a few runners. I guess NG2 could be an issue if we cannot get arcus or ohon, but I do not mind running it if need be. Does anyone know how ohon got involved in the Mega Man relay?? Like did someone contact him, or what?

Hello,

That would be great but i am not consistent at all, i die too much times.
So yeah, i can t take the risk to screw up particularly in a team. That's why, if it is possible, i would like to build a solo team up.

Ninja Gaiden any%: 12:14
Ninja Gaiden II any%: 10:51
Ninja Gaiden III any%: 13:58 (clock stops when the screen starts fading)

Kind regards

ps: sorry for my english

HAHAHA heck yeah! You are probably the only person that can be a one man team in this. I will want to assign you to a team however unless we get a ton of interest in this thread. Still early but lets see where we are in a week or so.
Just throwing this out there, but Bangerra and I would be willing to do Ninja Gaiden Shadow (for gb), but I don't know if you want to keep it to just the 3.

No problem,

That would be cool as long as you guys are close enough in skill. What are your PBs?

I have a 13:28 and I believe Bangerra has a 13:50 at least (there were a lot of route changes in the past year so his time doesn't necessarily reflect his ability). I'd say we are pretty evenly matched at the game. We've both held the record in the past so it's mostly a matter of catching up to some of the new strats.

Since the games are kinda short as you guys said, Relay race in set of 3.

NG 1-3 in sets of 3 and add up the total time of those 3 sets.
Talk to the Hand
I'm interested in watching... Tongue

Seriously, I don't speedrun any of the games seriously, but I'd be willing to learn 1 and/or 3 if people need another participant. I've done some casual speedruns of 1 way back when, and I've, uh, beaten 3.

(Why don't I mention 2? I don't own it anymore)
Personal text
What about something like this? Smiley
NG1 any% --> NG2 low% --> NG3 any% --> NG1 pacifist --> NG2 any% --> NG3 pacifist/low% --> NG1 low%
sinister1
so pro u don't even know
@kraflab: That sounds good then. If you guys are both interested we can make it happen.

@EE: I am not sure we need people to learn the speedruns at this point. If we are having too much trouble finding enough runners, then yes, that could work.

Quote from Joka:

In theory that would be great, but it might be tough to find runners that could support that format. For NG 2 and 3 there are only single runners for the non-any % categories. NG 1 would be fine.

I am going to try to contact a few runners when I get some time that may not frequent the forums.
I hope you get this going sir, shame I still can't finish a run in 1.  It'll be a fun watch if you get this goin'.
This sounds great, the Mega Man relay race was awesome to watch. I only play NG1 and my PB of 12:34 was so long ago that I would have trouble cutting 13 minutes at this point.

I don't think I could really help with running anything, but the possibility of seeing Dxtr and Ohon starting things off in NG1 would be amazing.
If anyone is gonna run NG3 for the J version just know everything is different including where the weapons and power ups are

If UA will be willing to do low% i could my pacifist run i know they aren't the same category but if its just for fun and we want to add another race idk if it would be a problem or not
the time difference between his low% PB and my pacifist run is about 2 minutes might be too significant idk
