~PassiveBobOmb the friendliest bomb

Hey again Green, so Toy Story 2 i can DEFINATELY do, I can offer Kirbys Dreamland 1 15 Minutes, 30 to include for setup incase something goes wrong, as well as Megaman 10 any% (im not amazing at that so about a 55 minute esitmate there)
So my total time would be about 2:15:00, i can for sure do it at 10pm MST (-6 gmt i think @.@ its canadian mountain time) Lemme know man, im really looking forward to doing this (i'll be practicing Kirbys Dreamland and Megaman 10 if you confirm them)

Hrmm Ineb you have some good titles that. I've never seen Runman but I definitely know the other 2.

Passive I'll keep an eye out on the other two games. MAYBE Kirby can turn into a race since someone else also offered it? I'll make updates on the first post as per usual once I sort things out

Just keep in mind Green, that races in marathons can be risky. They're just as good as the worse runner.

Also true, its a suggestion just to throw out there. I'm glad I have the time I need to plot this out accordingly

Talk to the Hand

Don't forget about the extra setup/overhead involved with races too.

Okay, so if it's the end of August, offering up Metroid II shouldn't be a problem. Smiley

Estimates eh? Including set up and microphone carnage, in order of comfort level:

Simon's Quest - 55 minutes with set up and what have you. Marathon route has some downtime in towns, so if we are reading donations/doing things on the side, it'll have a few chances to happen during my run.
Demon's Crest - 46 is my PB, and some of the bosses are RNG hell (Crawler!)
Goonies 2: Likely at 18-20 minutes. A quick little extra game likely not as popular as I'd hope. Nostalgia and all. (Hammer?!)
Guardian Legend - An hour, with a VERY real risk of tacking on 5 minutes per corridor death at the end of the game. The boss rush is still too damn random, especially the Optomon fight and It's bubbles. Perhaps safer as a bonus/incentive/graveyard shift game, but I'll leave it to your call.

Again, I'm CRAZY busy this summer, so please let me know what you want played well ahead of time so I can derust a bit beforehand.

Oh it's at the end of august, that means I'll be back in my pittsburgh apartment, meaning I can stream off my console! I can offer the following:

Metroid Fusion 100% - 1:55
Metroid Fusion 1% - 1:40
Metroid Zero Mission 100% - 1:30
Metroid Prime 2 Any% - 2:00
Metroid Prime 2 100% - 3:15

I'm more comfortable doing fusion 100% than 1%, and it's more marathon friendly too (though equally difficult), but I will have done 100% at SGDQ anyways, so maybe 1% would be a better idea Tongue

it's also shorter. However, 1% is a lot less stable since deaths can happen basically anywhere; my PB is like 15 minutes below that estimate, so that's a HUGE estimate because marathon luck.

Also for MP2, Any% has a lot more WTF factor, but...

1. Miles has done it at AGDQ, and I can't pull off the same route as him
2. I'm a bit more comfortable with 100%

100% also has more small tricks, whereas Any% has more bigger breaks (though both have their share of big and small tricks). Any% is probably better for marathon, due to its WTF value, but 100% has never really been "officially" done either. Take your pick.

It's great that you're starting this marathon. Good luck!

SeaWolf Hmm alright I think Simon's Quest and Goonies 2 would be fine maybe Bonus Marathon Guardian Legend when there's less worry of going over estimates.

KirbyMastah I understand about the Fusion 1% I've seen a couple of those runs so that's totally fine. I'd be fine with Metroid Prime 2 100% for sure I'll debate about either fusion or zero mission a bit

And thank you Svenne for helping out by asking others!

End of August... That's when classes start up for me. So between Friday night to Sunday morning times work best for me.

I can do Beauty and the Beast SNES - 30 mins (that includes set up time) and Final Fantasy X-2 New Game+ - 3:30 hrs (I haven't completed a New Game run yet and that category is very tricky due to being prone to dying a lot).

Hmm interesting, 2 games I've never seen anything on speedrun-wise so I'll definitely keep an eye out and keep it in consideration.

Sonic speedrunner

I have a few things to offer as well :

Sonic Adventure 2: Various different things I could do. There's All Story (Which consists of Hero Story, Dark Story and Last Story in one run). Estimated time being 1:50:00. Or there could be a bidding war to choose between Hero and Dark Story (which was pretty successful at AGDQ in 2012). Estimated time for either being 45:00

Sonic Generations: Full story run with an estimated time of 1:05:00. Game is very fast and has some cool glitches.

Super Mario World: I'm not the best at this, but I can still get a good 96 Exit run if no one else offers this. Estimated time being 1:40:00

Loving this marathon Idea. Best of luck to you! ^_^

Thanks for the added help, feel free to mention this to anyone else and link this if they are interested. Comment Readers and Commentary I'll tend to those details later on once I get a game list I can show the public.

Quote from spikevegeta:

Didn't feel like logging in. In the process of moving.

Anyways, I'd be happy to help Here are my list of games: With 10 minutes of set-up time per hour or so)

Donkey Kong Country Returns(1:45)
Rayman (1:55)
Rayman 2 (3:00)
Rayman Origins(2:25)
Kingdom Hearts(6:30)
Kingdom Hearts II (4:40)
Final Fantasy 9(10:00)

If you maybe have 2 or 3 of these you like, pick 'em out and I can run 'em.

Also, if I'm not too busy, I'd be willing to read donations and such. Just let me know. Best of luck, this sounds great!

Ok so I picked DKCR and Rayman 2 and I'm thinking ONE of the KH games but that one i'll let you decide (I've seen how you play and either or would be great) and if you have any incentives let me know too!
