General Kong - Bullets and Bananas

Let's Speed Run Aggressively!

The time is fast approaching for the third annual Contra Conference. This year we are moving from Northern to Southern California and will be hosted by The Gorilla Wrecking Ball, DK28.

This event will be going on the week of September 14th, mark your calendars!

List of expected attendees so far:
Mr K - Master of Contra III
zallard1 - Blinfold SPO Champion
sinister1 - MTPO Champ and Master of the Knee
Mike Uyama - Fighting Masters King and our Mighty Dictator
MURPHAGATOR - Ultimate Coin-Op Connoisseur
Joecoolgames - The New Metal Slugger

As always, the purpose of the Conference is to complete as many co-op runs as possible. Gatherings of speed runners are scarce, thus we come together to produce the best runs possible. There will be several co-op tasks at hand...
Contra III Hard Low%
Contra Any%
Neo Contra
Contra Rebirth
And possibly more...

But don't worry, with this year's roster of participants, there will most likely be plenty of other games, casual/serious co-op and shenanigans.
Street Fighter 2
Metal Slug
Double Dragon II
Double Dragon Advance
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Plus anything else that the group may want to do!

Be sure to tune in!!!

A subtle reminder of some of the greatness that happens at the Conference. Last year...

YES! YES! YES!

(However, Sad Face for the lack of Swedes of Speed. :-( (Or Mexican Runners))

Why isn't that run on SDA? Shocked

Because Mister K has been dragging his heels in submitting any runs from Contra Conference II - none have been submitted yet :-(

Agreed. They certainly were invited, but their individual situations prevent attendance. The door is certainly open should things change.

We are also actually tinkering on possible improvements to some of the runs...

Can't wait for you guys to spend the whole time trying to one cycle the waterfall boss again :-P

LOL, I think the co-op any% is first. Mr K and I got a 9:59 at AGDQ, but we can beat that with new strats that have been found. Plus, if I get 9:59 solo, it would obsolete anyway.

hehe, nice. I was talking about low% which was what you struggled with the one cycle with last conference.

Will there at least be some Contra Force?

Sir VG

2014-07-23 01:27:37 am

Fucking Weeaboo

Contra Rebirth? Hell yeah!

I don't care what anybody says. That game was fun as hell.

@ Sonik - We should be able to rope Mr K into playing some Contra Force...

And yes Sir VG. Once I finish Contra, I'll start learning Rebirth to co-op with K.

This will truly be a gathering of epic proportions! I like the idea of including Metal Slug into the mix since it is very much like Contra, and the Contra runs will probably be done quick with all these talented people playing. So much HYPE!!! Grin

More Contra Hype! It isn't co-op, but this kind of stuff should be happening quite a bit! thumbsup

RIP CONTRA.

Contra Conference III canceled because DK28 is just too fucking good. Tongue

LOL, thank you VG and Jack!! We'll still be bringing this kind of hype, but in co-op!

There will be blood...
