1. Super Mario Sunshine - 120 Shines
Estimate: 4:00:00
Personal best: 3:50:57
Console: Wii
Super Mario Sunshine shows some nice glitches such as cutscene skips and wall clips. I am running this game for quite a while now and would love to show all that in a marathon.

2. Super Mario Sunshine - 96 Shines
Estimate: 3:15:00
Personal best: 3:08:59
Console: Wii
Pretty new category where we have to collect all shines in the whole game not counting the shines you get from blue coins and then beat the game ofcourse.

3. Pikmin 1 - All Parts
Estimate: 1:40:00
Personal best: 1:53:01 PAL
Console: Wii
Pikmin is a create game where the player needs high coordination skills. The Reason my PB is not the estimate is cause i only did a few runs yet but could improve the time alot. Also my pb is on PAL timing which is 17% slower but I would order the NTSC version soon anyway.

4. Super Mario Sunshine - Any%
Estimate: 1:40:00
Personal best: 1:37:02
Console: Wii
Fastest category for super mario sunshine features also glitches and shortcuts and a well planned route.

1. Viewtiful Joe - Kids Any%
Estimate: 50:00
Personal best: 40:04 ***Updated with PB as of 3/5/14***
Console: Gamecube
Viewtiful Joe is probably one of the fastest-paced 2d speedruns, just watch tminator64's AGDQ 2014 run and you will see for yourself. I'm nowhere near as good as tminator at the moment, but I hope to practice and get sub-40 minutes real-time. Tminator's world record run is about 33:20 real time, but a sub-40 run would still look impressive.

Current PB video: http://www.twitch.tv/fergbot/b/508358667 (this is a 40:08 that I got a couple days ago, the 40:04 video is kinda chopped up because twitch kept DCing me)

1. Ittle Dew - 100%
Estimate: 55m
Personal best: About 41 minutes RTA. 34:32 in-game.
World record: 34:32 in-game (me)
Console: PC
Video: http://www.twitch.tv/etholon/c/2892921
Ittle Dew was featured last year showing off two different any% routes.
Any% is fine and all but this game has such a massive ammount of interesting rooms and puzzles that I think 100% is definitely the way to go.
The game doesn't have a built in 100% definition so I've defined it as "open every chest" since when you've done that you've collected all collectibles and solved every puzzle. (DLC cave not included. There isn't a chest in there)
Speaking of the DLC cave, it might be possible to have it as some kind of small donation incentive to do it either after or during the run. It shouldn't be longer than like 3-5 minutes.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - Any%
Estimate: 1h (Could go down 5 or maybe even 10 minutes as I get better)
Personal best: Around 48 minutes. My timing method so far has been looking at a clock when I start and looking again when I finish.
World record: 39:21
Console: 3DS
This run uses a different route than N64 any% due to certain bugs being fixed and other being added.
It never goes adult and never beats Ganon. It instead wrong warps directly to the credits which in the game counts as beating the game.
I think that not a lot of people have not considered the fact that this run might be different than the N64 version and this could be a breath of fresh air.
My time is not the best yet and I don't have a recording because this is a thing I've picked up casually to have something to do when traveling to and from school.
If the run would be considered I would of course start practicing regularly and actually get consistent at stuff.
File name as donation incentive as usal with zelda games.
I do not own a capturable 3DS so for this to work I'd need someone that owns one to bring it!

3. Ittle Dew - Any%
Estimate: 20m
Personal best: About 14 minutes RTA. 11:00.13 in-game.
World record: 11:00.05 in-game. For now...
Console: PC
Video: http://www.twitch.tv/etholon/c/3365893 (not my actual PB but only 0.17 seconds slower)
The any% category in Ittle Dew is a blitz of quick puzzle solving and optimised boss strategies.
There could possibly be a donation war between which item combination I should use to beat the game as you only need any two out of the three acquirable items.
If that's the case I'd need to relearn and practice those routes but that shouldn't be a problem.
If Mooniz is going we could probably race maybe..?

4. Q.U.B.E. - Any% race between me and the person with the 2nd fastest time.
Estimate: 40m
Personal best: Me: 27:53 - Mikael: 28:24
World record: 27:53 (me)
Console: PC
Video: http://www.twitch.tv/etholon/c/3108380
This was a bit of a hit last year (for all the right reasons :P) and I think that a race this year could be fun.
The run has seen some minor route improvements since last years run but nothing monumental has changed.
The person I want to race with would only be able to attend for one day and is not 100% if he can attend at all until he knows the time of the race so if y'all are interested in accepting this I'd appreciate if we could work out the time slot so it works.
Even if our times differ by about 30 seconds my WR run got the ultimate RNG which saved a lot of time. Mikael is about as good as I am at the game.
A possible donation incentive could be to race the time trial DLC aswell. It's about 10 minutes long I think.

5. Costume Quest
Estimate: 1h 50m
Personal best:1:23:08
World record: 1:19:27
Console: PC
Video: http://www.twitch.tv/etholon/c/2320715
This is a very charming little RPG made by double fine where you go on a quest to save your kidnapped brother/sister (depending on which one you chose to play (I smell donation war)) who gets kidnapped by a goblin while trick or treating.
It's a pretty straight forward RPG run that is routed around skipping the most annoying fights will still staying high enough level to beat the final boss.
This is something I started routing about 10 months ago but had to put on hold because of school and work.
I was surprised to see that my WR had only been improved upon by about 4 minutes even though I know people have been working on it on and off since I stopped playing it 8 months ago.
I've been wanting to pick it back up and I think I could definitely get back on WR level in time for ESA.
There is a slight problem in that the final bossfight is pretty damn hard and if you're really unlucky he can combo you to death at the very end of the fight.
It shouldn't be a huge problem as the chance isn't that high and the team setup picked for the fight is built around survival but I'll keep the estimate 5-10 minutes higher than what should be needed just in case he does a bad combo.

Estimate: 00:17:30

UPDATED AS OF 7/2/14

1. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 - Any%
Estimate: 3:30:00
Personal best: 3:25:45 3:17:20 as of Feb 7th
Console: Playstation 3 (Region 2 (European, English) OR Region 3 (Asia, Japanese) as I am in the process of learning to play on the Japanese Version, but I will bring both copies anyway)
Pretty neat game altogether, the best way to sum it up is Disney mixed with Final Fantasy elements, basically. Plus, it's a decent game with not much RNG, and with exception to one thing, all of it would help a run rather than hinder it!
Also as a donation incentive, I can do the entire run with a plush Paopu Fruit sat on my head. It might fall off from time to time but I'll just put it back on. I could also do a donation incentive to do the entire game using Shield Route instead of Staff as it is widely considered within the community to be literally the worst idea anyone has ever had, which we proved in a terrible SRL race recently... Tongue

                Part 2 http://www.twitch.tv/roryextralife/c/3678518


1. Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep - Ventus Any%
Estimate: 2:00:00
Personal best: 1:55:52
Console: Playstation Portable
Interesting speedrun, although quite RNG based. PB is only from my second run, where I actually forgot a few equips, and where I was trolled by a mini game because I couldn't focus very well, although good drops.
Donation Incentives include renaming a finish maneuver that rarely gets used but hey, it's something, right? Also this run contains a few grindy spots because it's based on leveling individual commands rather than the character itself.
Also if I do run this I'd like to run it BEFORE 1.5 as it comes before it chronologically.
PB Video: (to be uploaded)

EDIT: Also there's someone wanting to run KH2 or KH2 Final Mix, so it'd be nice to do KH1 followed swiftly by KH2!

1. Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII - Hard any%
Estimate: 3:15:00
Personal best: N/A
Console: PS2 NTSC-U
I have started routing this recently and intend on working on it for several months at least. A less popular game from the FF franchise but would still attract FF7 fans I would think. Best known time is 2:57:xx on Normal but I think I can smash this pretty easily. Hard is the hardest difficulty (Ex Hard is forced NG+). Estimate may change.

2. Final Fantasy X or Final Fantasy X HD Remaster - Any%
Estimate: 11:30:00
Personal best: 10:45:59
Console: PS2 NTSC-U / PS3
One of the most popular (if not the most popular) Final Fantasy game. A marathon run has only been done at C4L and the route has changed quite a lot since then. Donation incentives for attempting to win Blitzball, getting the Jecht shot, getting Anima, naming Aeons and Tidus.
I don't think the timing is too different between the two games (English HD Remaster is out in March)
Link: http://www.twitch.tv/cereth/c/3588491

3. Bastion - NG+ Any%
Estimate: 25:00
Personal best: 15:07
Console: PC
Race with Incalex, quite successful at AGDQ '14, now in race format and ng+ category which introduces a different stage route and new/different skips in the earlier stages. I don't particularly want to run this unless it's a race

1. Wind Waker HD - Any%
Estimate: 5:00:00
PB: 4:40:29
Console: Wii U PAL
I got this pb without the new additions of deed skip and helmaroc skip so I am to get sub 4:30 very soon which I can easily do. RNG swift sail and Cyclos means that 5 hours is a generous estimate.

2. Ultimate Flash Sonic (race)
Estimate: 7:00
PB: 5:10
Console: PC
This is one of the silliest games but it could be fun to see a race, there's 3 of us prepared to run it and it could fit in anywhere in the schedule.

3. Ocarina of Time - No WW/All Medallions
Estimate: 1:00:00/1:20:00
PB: 56:39/1:16:34
Console: Wii VC
These are pretty similar categories, so either would be doable. They are more for exhibiting what can be done for people who may not have seen it before. As there are very few hard tricks in either run, the times are very consistently achieved hence the estimates I have posted being so close to my pb(s).

4. Super Smash Bros - Tournament Top 8 for Melee and PM
Estimate: 2:00:00
Everyone loves smash, probably best for the bonus stream or second stream.

5. Toy Story 2 - 100%
Estimate 1:25
PB: 1:19:54
Console: N64 NTSC
This is one of my favourite all time games, I'd only ever speedran it myself but I recently saw ringrush's route for it and it looks pretty easy to get sub 1 hour. Its a nice collectathon without many run ending events so is perfect for marathons. Also, nostalgia fest.

1. The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Any% No RBA/WW
Estimate 2:10:00
PB:1:42:21
Console: Wii Virtual Console
This is an interesting category, it was the old any% before wrong warps and reverse bottle adventure were found, and therefore aims for fastest completion in a single sitting without the use of Reverse bottle adventure or wrong warping, so shadow and spirit temple are required. There are no other restrictions.
I've recently just picked up speedrunning and would therefore be able to lower my estimate and PB at a later date.

1. Wind Waker HD - Any% (Possible Race with BatchVC)
Estimate: 5:00:00
PB: Nothing Yet
Console: PAL Wii U
I am learning this at the time of this post and will do a full run in the next couple of days, this game is more marathon friendly over the GC version as there isnt any time loss moments (Superswims, New Helmaroc Skip, Softlocks) and it also has some changes over the GC version as  well (Patched Storage, The new roll clip glitch). I also talked to Batch on Twitter and see if he was down for a race and he said that he was cool with it.

2. VVVVVV - Any% (Gravitron Skip)
Estimate: 30:00
PB: 21:46 In Game Time
Console: PC
This is a really cool speedgame with a handful of glitches for me to show off. I have chosen Any% over All Trinkets and No Gravitron Skip because i cannot for the life of me ever get all the trinkets fast. My PB is bad atm but i have been drastically improving recently and can bring this down lower.

3. Gunstar Heroes - Any% (Possible Coop with Wilbo25)
Estimate: 50:00
PB: N/A just yet
Console: Xbox 360 (XBLA)
This is a classic among some as this could be considered the Mega Drive version of Contra. This game is really fun and really hard at the same time (this is the main reason why i dont have a PB as of yet), It has some cool speedrunning tricks and also some cool boss strats to show off. Also if Wilbo can make it to ESA he wants to do a Coop Run, which is the same game with another player added so meaning faster kills on bosses and makes a certain spaceship level easier.

(EDIT: Removed Wind Waker SD due to community feedback)

1. Super Metroid - 100%
Estimate: 1h 25 min
Personal best: 01:21:54
Console: Super Nintendo

The most recent 100% video I have on my twitch page (twitch.tv/kottpower) is not my current record. I feel like I wanna do 100%, but I might change my mind later and choose another category instead (most categories in the game are of similar length time-wise).
Twitch account: www.twitch.tv/rozerr

1. Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - 100%
Estimate: 2:20:00
Personal best: 2:08:46
Console: PAL PS2
This game has been run at AGDQ, but not the 100% cotegory. I also did any% last year with intentions of doing the 100% during bonus stream, however certain curcumstances meant that I wasn't able to. Despite this, there were a lot of people in the chat who really wanted to see it. I have put a lot of work into this game in the past year i have been running it. I routed out the vast majority of the modern route, as well as finding some interesting tricks, so I have a lot to say on the game.
Magical. Flying. Bathtub
Quote from footbigmike:
3. Sonic CD - any% (Sonic or Tails)
Estimate: 30:00
Personal best: 19:5x
Console: Steam/XBLA
SANIC FAST. CD is still one of the rarer Sonic games to see at a marathon, but is just as, if not faster, than its Genesis siblings. I demand JP soundtrack for this run.

You'd best hope JP wins the bidding war then Wink
1. World of Warcraft - max level blind (possible race)
Estimate: 80:00:00
Personal best: N/A
Console: PC
WoW is a really popular game and you could have live viewer interaction with other players. If other people were to join the race, it'd be super hype. Estimate very rough obviously, because a blind playthrough is just so much more HYPE!

2. Sexy Beach Zero
Estimate: 01:30:00
Personal best: 01:46:28
Console: PC
This could bring in the donations from Japan. Possible donation incentives are which girls to date, what swimsuits they should wear and more!

3. Game Dev Tycoon - pirate%
Estimate: 00:30:00
Personal best: N/A
Console: PC
This would be the illegaly downloaded version, which is unwinnable and always results in a message that you're out of business because your games get pirated too much.

4. Super Mario 64 - barebones% feet% iQue% imitating-animal-noises% half-blindfolded%

1. Half-Life 2: Episode Two - Beat the game
Estimate: 1:10:00
Personal best: 59:01 using old routes
Console: PC
The game has a lot of neat tricks that sets it apart from other HL2 speedruns.
edit: Elgu wants to race so hey that's something

2. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - 100%
Estimate: 10:00:00
Personal best: 13:24:06 which was semi-blind
Console: PC
IMO the most interesting GTA for 100%. That scrub JustShanzz needs to do this and I'm willing to race him if he doesn't want to do it alone. If he doesn't come I'll do it on my own. Still in the process of learning.

3. Half-Life 2: Episode One - Beat the game, New Engine
Estimate: 1:00:00
Personal best: 52:31 using old strats
Console: PC
IMO the hardest of the three HL2 games. It provides some of the classic "kill stuff instead of running past them" which makes this very interesting, along with some crazy tricks in the core room.

4. Octodad: Dadliest Catch - Beat the game
Estimate: 45:00
Personal best: 31:13
Console: PC
Good game for speedrun
N/A

5. Deus Ex: Human Revolution - any%
Estimate: 1:20:00
Personal best: 1:15:10 which was my first run
Console: PC
Very broken game and imo very interesting. Heinki needs to do this but I'm submitting in case he can't make this since this game has to happen.
http://www.twit ch.tv/heinki/c/3593385

6. Dear Esther - Get to the end
Estimate: 25:00
Personal best: 19:46
Console: PC
Perhaps for the secondary stream, this game is a visual novel but it is broken. Deathwarps and a mashing technique that makes you go faster. Mashing keys as quickly as possible for 20 minutes straight is very painful and will make me cringe.

7. Half-Life 2 - Beat the game, Old Engine
Estimate: 2:20:00
Personal best: 2:09:06 using old routes
Console: PC
The main game and likely most popular. However, I feel since this game has been on last year and the only stuff that's new is stolen from New Engine runs, I feel putting a New Engine run this year is a better choice. I'm still willing to do this.
http://www.yout ube.com/watch?v=Rz80TQAXomI

8. SWAT 4 - any%
Estimate: 1:20:00
Personal best: 1:08:31
Console: PC
This game is NOT meant for speedrunning which is exactly why it is an amazing game to watch any% speedruns of. Well received in my chat.
http://www.twi tch.tv/lotsofs/b/497898978
edit: Give this to coolkid, I might join him in his coop adventures

9. Octodad - Beat the game
Estimate: 10:00
Personal best: 5:15
Console: PC
It's octodad, nuf said. Not much has changed since last year though so repeating this might be bad although it could go in front of octodad DC as a hype gathering.
http://www.twit ch.tv/lotsofs/c/3542049

10. Portal 2 - Coop any% with D4rw1N or whoever else
Estimate: 1:10:00
Personal best: 41:41 with Znernicus, 48:06 with D4rw1N
Console: PC
Portal 2 coop is the only fun speedrun for Portal 2 imo. I see xebaz wants to do this with Eclpsn and since I've done it last year I guess it would be fair to give it to them, however there's still the question; will Xebaz go to ESA this year?
edit: Xebaz came with an offer, the four of us are going to have to go in debate.
http://www.twi tch.tv/znernicus/c/2687197

11. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - 100%
Estimate: 18:00:00
Personal best: 16:34:05
Console: PC
This is long at some points, could be a nice party regardless but I think you're better off doing an any% race :p
http://www.tw itch.tv/lotsofs/b/491027102?t=1h02m26s

12. Far Cry 2 - Beat the game
Estimate: 3:20:00
Personal best: 3:04:09
Console: PC
This ezpz game is not broken hence why it's at the bottom of the list I'd be down for doing it anyway.
http://www.t witch.tv/lotsofs/b/401227199

13. Rock Band - Full band (Expert Bass / vocals for me)

1. Halo 3 - Easy any%
Estimate: 01:40:00
Personal best: 1:24:xx It's important to note that this PB was from 2 months ago and it's recorded with a webcam(since I didn't own a capture card at the time)
Console: Xbox 360

This game is very popular as most of you already know, but it's actually a really good run to watch, because it has alot of interesting movement and tricks. I feel that since Halo 2 made it into AGDQ, Halo 3 also deserves an opportunity to be shown off at a marathon. I've got a solid foundation for the run on the whole, know the tricks etc, and just need to refine my runs.
There's a chance me and Dark Devastation could do a coop run, but I haven't gotten a response from him yet about it

2. Halo 2 - Easy any%
Estimate: 01:50:00
Personal best: 1:33:46
Console: Xbox 360(it's an original XBOX game, but I'll be playing it on a 360)

Just like Halo 3 this game was very popular back when the online servers were still up. The run has alot of interesting glitches and skips. It has some "auto-scrollers" though , but the AGDQ on Legendary difficulty by MisterMonopoli was very well received regardless. Just like with Halo 3, I know the game very well, I just need to get a more solid run.

3. Rock Band - Expert drums and guitar
Estimate: N/A
Personal best: N/A
Console: Xbox 360

Used to play alot of Guitar Hero, and I've been drumming for 5 years so I could do both drums and guitar(preferably drums). Haven't played any rock band though so I would have to sightread everything.

1. Super Mario Sunshine - 120 shines
Estimate: 3:40:00
Personal best: 3:25:46 (www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl4KsPB2Pe0) (WR)
Console: Gamecube (played on wii)
I bailed on this game last year and still can't guarantee that I can go this year yet either, but i'm hoping to. If samura1man ends up going as well I would love to do a race of this as we have very similar times in this category. (note that we use different routes. Not sure wether people consider this good or bad)


2. Super Mario Sunshine - any%
Estimate: 1:40:00
Personal best: 1:31:13 (www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbT0Ob7AtVA)
Console: Gamecube (played on wii)
I can do this category as well, but I personally enjoy 120 shines more and any% has been done at other marathons before. This is shorter though and a very popular run still so i'll throw it out there anyway.
I only have one to offer, I'm not gonna take it personally if you don't take it, I'm like 5 years out of practice but been wanting to take it back up for a long time.

1. Spiderman 2 - any%
Estimate: 1:40 to be safe? Hopefully consistently sub-1:30 though.
Personal Best: 1:25:xx game time, about 5 years ago.
Console: Gamecube
Spiderman is a superhero who... eh, you know. This time around, Doc Ock has been born from an experimental fusion reactor, and must be stopped. There are other classic villains as well, and Black Cat is there as well. It's a lot of quite tight 3D-platforming, some very quick movement, some nice risky strats if I get really good. I reckon if you guys accept this offer, I should have it comfortably sub-1:20 by July. It's a really neat watch.

What?
Firstly, i am not entirely convinced I will be able to make it, due to a mixture of jobs & money. However, there IS a possibility of being able to make it. I will post my games for now, and thankfully there are others in this thread who are also good runners of the games in my list - So you would not be stumped if it turns out i can't come and you want any of the following.

Deus Ex - Human Revolution Directors Cut - Any%
Estimate: 1:40:00 (Conservative)
Personal best: High 1:3X:00
Console: PC
This game is really broken, and the glitches look cool too (The cut-scene at the start is the only downside really, but straight after that the run starts as it means to go on by clipping straight through a wall with a fire extinguisher within 30 seconds). I know the time i've listed isn't amazing & the route video execution is pretty bad, I counter this by stating i developed the route, found a lot of the glitches & have actual time to devote to running now a large chunk of my UNI work is out the way. I could also do a glitch showcase of this game. If i end up running this and can make it, I would rather focus on only doing this game.

Link: youtu.be/beL2RintrWc (This is my route guide video of most recent route. I can easily outperform this in an SS before ESA. Add 8 mins to run length & consider it a bad segmented run).

Deus Ex - Human Revolution - Any%
Estimate: 1:25:00
Personal best: 1:09:4X Real time. Unrecorded.
Console: PC
See above. I would MUCH rather run director's cut as it is a far more entertainingly broken run (DC includes extra levels and reworked bosses. The extra levels have the hardest and coolest looking glitches in the run). HR has a very similar route to DC.

Amensia - The Dark Descent - Any%
Estimate: 50 mins
Personal best: (SEGMENTED WR)  0:21:54  (http://speeddemosarchive.com/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent.html)
Console: PC
Glitchy game we've all seen before. If i were to run it I would make it a little different from the previous A:TDD runs by using some segmented exclusive glitches (Save-reload warps & save clipping). Others in this thread are better at running this game than me though. I Could also run Justine DLC but again others are better picks than I.

Amnesia - A Machine For Pigs - Any%
Estimate: 50 mins
Personal best: None
Console: PC
This game has some really funny glitches (space pig, chair of destiny) to demo as a glitch showcase. The normal run through is as glitchy as A:TDD, so if you are going to feature a game from the amnesia series, strongly consider this one. Others in this thread are better than me at this game though.

Final Fantasy IV - DieHard% 64 floor glitch
Estimate: 2:30:00
Personal best: 2:20:42 ( http://www.twitch.tv/xemorej/c/3617066 ) it's only 1 month i start speedrunning it , i can do better than that .
console : Snes
the 64 floor glitch is really fun to see on this game , but it's also random , if one of the phase of the glitch don't go well , all the run can be destroyed , but the chance are really low . but on my stream it's the third run i can finish when i don't fail the strat ( some more offline ) .

1. Mega Man X (ONE MORE YEAR!?) - 100%
Estimate: 40:00
Personal Best: 37:42 (RTA Timing, that would be 37:36 SDA timing)
Console: SFC
With game finally thought out, I'd like to run it one last time for ESA.
We got all the tricks now, Iceless,Armadillo skip as before and ofc the AIR HADOUKEN which is decently new.
One of the most popular runs, The game has gotten so much Love for marathons from watchers that it should be in this year as well I think!

2. Mega Man X3 - Low% / Low% Buster Only (Possible donation war?)
Estimate: 1:00:00
Personal Best: Low% 49:XX / Low% Buster Only TBA, haven't finished a real run of it, first run = WR
Console: SFC
Pretty straight forward categories, cept that Buster Only is way more fun to me and it's a pretty hardcore category
different from the run from last year, this is 100% glitchless as I burst through everything with just the X-Buster
This game I really want it, to show that MMX3 is not a bad game, that we runners make it an amazing game and it deserves ALOT more love.

3. Kingdom Hearts II - Japanese Any%
Estimate: 5:20:00
Personal Best: 4:58:40
Console: PS2
The Hilarious version of KH2, due to the amazing voice acting (don't get me wrong its a good cast, but they sound hilarious) I think this would be a fun game, to have donation incentives for the Japanese songs like "Under The Sea" etc. link I know most of em in japanese haha, but I think everyone will end up singing in Swedish or english since it's ESA. Kingdom Hearts needs more love at Marathons overall.

4. Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos - Any%
Estimate: 20:00
Personal Best: 12:42
Console: NES/FC/VC (depending on what we have on site)
Still an amazing game, always and amazing watch. It's SHort and simple and hard. and loved by many, I Loved last years Ninja Block, tho I would consider picking up Sword Only even if it will be hard as hell to top the AGDQ2014 run by Duckfist.

1. Swat 4 - 4-10 Player Co-op
Estimate: X
Personal best: X
Console: PC
My main speedrunning game as of 2014. There will be a lot of top Swat 4 players at this year's ESA (me, Shrimp, S, Yvathacal, cruxit & Pyatters to name a few) so I figured that this run would be a good pick. Me and my team have begun intensive individual level training but we've yet to do full game runs yet. We're going to start doing so soon however.

1. Resident Evil 4 – New game pro (possible coop play with Separate Ways)
Estimate: 2:10:00
Personal best: 1:56:36
Console: GameCube jap (playing on a Wii)
Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQXAdO3ZUHE
Resident Evil 4 is a « survival horror » released on GameCube in 2005. With a new camera system and a more dynamic combat system, this game was one of the greatest hits on this console. The category I play is new game pro, meaning starting a game from a new file in the highest difficulty mode. The run includes some cool tricks, glitches and Out of Bounds.
Possible cooperative play: One of my friends (the_skullbot) plays the Separate Ways bonus game. It shows the story from Ada’s point of view. The run is way shorter than Leon’s one, but they can be played in parallel to show the 2 protagonists adventures and the interactions between them. We never tried it, it will require a lot of training to perfectly synchronize our runs but we are very motivated, because the result is worth the effort.

2. Maximo Ghosts to Glory – Any% / 100%
Estimate: 1:05:00 (any%) / 2:30:00 (100%)
Personal best: 0:54:41 (any%) / 2:18:09 (100%)
Console: PlayStation 2 jap
Link: www.twitch.tv/dieyouevildruaga/c/1864363 (any%)
www.twitch.tv/dieyouevildruaga/c/2816870 (100%)
Maximo is the spiritual sequel to Ghosts’n Goblins/Ghouls’n Ghosts game series. Released on 2001 on PlayStation 2, the game is fun but hard to take in hand because it’s really punishing. The game doesn’t have any glitches, but they are some small sequence breaking and it’s a pretty intense run. The 100% category is hard and heavy RNG based

3. Serious Sam The First Encounter – Any% with OoB (normal mode)
Estimate: 0:50:00
Personal best: 0:40:18 RTA | 0:39:40 IGT
Console: PC (steam)
Link: www.twitch.tv/dieyouevildruaga/c/3695478
Serious Sam is to FPS what a manic shooter is to Shoot Them Up. The action is super intense and the number of enemies is incredible. Released on PC in 2001, this game is in fact full of sequence breaking and crazy OoB, skipping a huge part of the levels. I only started this game a few weeks ago and I’ll train it hard in April, I may try to do an all levels run also.

4. Beatmania IIDX – Scoring in Double Play
Estimate: can play until 3 hours without break
Personal best: -
Console: PlayStation 2 jap
Link: http://iidx.solidstatesquad.com/viewuser.php?user=338 (my scores)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9eegBV0kgk (song exemple)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=awuHYBP1KiY (live demo)
Beatmania IIDX is the deluxe version of the first Rhythm Game with a dedicated controller. Released in 1999 on arcade, this series is still running and every rhythm game player knows it as a super challenging game. I only play on Double Play mode, meaning playing with 2 controllers at the same time. I have a decent level, but I’m waaay far from Japanese top players. I didn’t play it for 1 year, but I can reach my previous level with a few month of work. My only real concern is how to bring my 2 controllers (big, heavy and fragile)

1. Super Mario Sunshine - any%
Estimate: 1:40:00
Personal Best: 1:33:29 (wasn't recording)
Console: Gamecube (played on Wii)

Stelzig has already offered this and 120 shines to boot. I'm vouching for the very high entertainment value that a 120 shines run provides. I'm merely posting this so that in case Stelzig won't be able to make it and any% gets chosen for the marathon, I could perform that any% run instead.
