SCRUBATHON V (Online Marathon) (June 21st - June 29th/30th)

We are at that time of the year again, the "big" marathons are right around the corner and people are getting ready to show off their games at them to their best ability. With SGDQ and ESA taking place in July, we are going to show them how its (not) done in June a week before SGDQ!

Everybody is welcome to submit their games and runs, may it be to show their game off to others, practice marathon commentary or practice in a marathon setting. Every game is welcome but be wary, there is only so much time on the schedule we can accomodate for!

Logistics:

The marathon will be held at twitch.tv/elmagus, as per usual.
For now I am aiming to use June 21st - June 29th/30th (Thursday to Friday/Saturday) to best avoid running into other events, if I am missing something please feel free to let me know and I will try to work around it.

FAQ:

What is the goal of this Marathon?

Enjoy speedrunning. Practice for marathons. Show off games. Thats pretty much it.

What are the deadlines?

Submissions: Until May 22nd
Cuts: May 23rd - 29th (from here I will add people to the Discord)
Schedule: probably around June 11th/12th , maybe earlier depending on how things work out

How do submissions work?

To keep it as transparent as possible, you can submit your games in this very thread right here. I will have the submissions listed on a google doc tied together with the schedule, helpers and restreamers and all the info you will need.(see below once i have set up the doc)

As for the submissions itself, please follow the following rules:

-Please only submit a max of 5 Games. If you have multiple categories you can play, that will still count towards 1 game only. (DELN PLEASE)

As for how the submission should look, I will give you an example down below:

Game: Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Category: Any%/100%
Estimate: 2:15:00/2:45:00
Misc Info: Can race with Runner X, Runner Y and Runner Z
Projected Availability: I should be available June 21st - June 29th from 4PM - 8PM EST

You can edit your submissions if you want to, just let me know about it in some way so i will actually notice it!

Can I help even if I don't want to play?

Yes, yes you can! Stuff like Artwork (Banners/Layouts/Logos) and Chat Mods/Restreamers or whatever are always appreciated! However I would like to wait until End of May for people to sign up for help, since I will be busy with sorting out runs anyways.

How do I contact you if I have any more questions?

There is a couple of ways to do so, you can PM me here and on twitch, you can go to the SRL IRC (my name is eLmaGus- on there) or add me on skype (eLmaGus1988, make sure to leave the reason you add me in the Contact message).

Commentary

If you would like to commentate for something, hit up the RUNNER, the runner will then tell me that you will be commentating for him. That way I can make sure the runner is okay with you commentating.

That's the power of the Keyyyblaaade

TIME TO REV UP THOSE BATH TUBS BECAUSE I'M GOING FOR A SCRUB!

Game: Final Fantasy I (PSX)
Category: Any%
Estimate: 3:30:00
Misc Info: The most ridiculous FF1 run that nobody thinks is a safe run even though you can actually save anywhere you damn well please. If any of the other 3 runners of this category decide to submit, I will happily race them (I'm looking at you, WHiPCPL, Lenophis, and TheADDGamer!)
Projected Availability: Dependent on which shift I'm working that week for Mon-Fri, available all day Sat/Sun.

Game: Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny (PS2)
Category: Any% Easy / Any% Easy Ultimate
Estimate: 01:40:00 / 01:05:00
Misc Info: Stupidly fun run. Ultimate starts you off with some good shit making fights quick, but Easy is probably the more demanding category of the two, albeit one with more room for error.
Projected Availability: Dependent on which shift I'm working that week for Mon-Fri, available all day Sat/Sun.

Game: Final Fantasy VI (SNES)
Category: Any% (52 Deaths)
Estimate: 01:00:00
Misc Info: What? 20 minutes of dying? No, ignore that. This run has some GOOD things, like at least 4 mandatory fights! We also see such amazing things as "Not The Default Menu Theme" and "Atlas Armlet-less" strategies!
Projected Availability: Dependent on which shift I'm working that week for Mon-Fri, available all day Sat/Sun.

I will definitely be adding some more games (2 more to be exact maybe) to this list between now and the end of signups!

steak Steak STEAK!!!

Alright, I'll see what I can do.

Game: Legend of Legaia (PS1)
Category: Any%
Estimate: 9:10:00
Misc Info: Still a long PS1 RPG. Still a long shot to get in, I am aware, and I don't expect much. But I do still want to see this get into a marathon at some point.
Projected availability: Unfortunately, this game is going to be Sat/Sun only due to work conflict. I can probably do this Friday during the afternoon into the late night as well. Other games will have more availability.

Game: Paper Mario (N64)
Category: Any% Glitchless
Estimate: 4:20:00
Misc Info: I run this game on a US N64, which makes it the slowest version of the game for this category due to longer text and more loading time than the JP version and VC versions. My PB time is still competitive with many runners for this category. Given that Legaia is most likely to be rejected due to time considerations, I would like to see this get in over Quest 64.

Yes, I would be willing to race this game with someone.
Availability: M-F after 3:00 MST, plus Sat/Sun

Game: Quest 64 (N64)
Category: All Spirits
Estimate: 2:35:00
Misc Info: A new Out of Bounds was found a couple months ago which saves about 3 minutes. Other than that, it's the same RNG-heavy glitchfest that we all know and lo... tolerate. Also willing to race this.
Availability: As for Paper Mario.

Game: Mega Man ZX
Category: Any% (Normal)
Estimate: 1:00:00
Misc Info: Fun platformer which alludes to Metroidvania type games in its level design. While one of the longer entries in the Mega Man franchise, the player character can use models to transform and obtain different means of offense and exploration. There's lots of movement tricks and bosses get annihilated, to say the least. I'm completely open to a race and will see if I can drag the other ZX runners with me.
Projected Availability: Full availability

Game: Radiant Historia
Category: Any% / 100%
Estimate: 4:00:00 / 5:30:00
Misc Info: Relatively obscure JRPG for the Nintendo DS with a beautifully crafted combat system. In this game you take the role of silent man Stocke, and with the help of our trusted loligoat and a giant gorilla we undercover the mysteries of a war and a plague that's mysteriously turning people into sand. The speedrun is combat-focused because 99% of the game's cutscenes can be skipped. Last Scrubathon me and Flame attempted (somewhat) to untangle the mess that is the story so I'd like to attempt a mechanic driven approach. As I keep practicing and routing the game I can say the Any% estimate I'm offering is safe, however I'm also presenting 100% as a category alternative. Its definition is obtaining every node in the White Chronicle's node tracking, effectively completing every sidequest in the game. This presents some neat tools not available in Any%, having Marco kill everyone is mandatory, but most appealing is executing the super bosses the game provides. I'm still working on a draft for this category so my estimate is very generous and could lower on the next month, hopefully.
Projected Availability: Full availability, preferably not during 7AM-11AM EST to minimize background noise

Game: Electronic Super Joy
Category: Any% SS
Estimate: 0:35:00 (PB 0:28:25)
Misc Info: Trippy platformer. Would prefer to do this over FF4.

Game: Final Fantasy IV
Category: Any% noCW SNES, Any% Glitchless PSP, Any% no64
Estimate: 2:10:00, 3:10:00, 3:20:00
Misc Info: Can race if chosen, and would prefer you to pick neerrm, roth, puwexil, or just about anyone else Smiley

I will likely submit a third game after I learn it.

Projected Availability: June 22nd 6pm EDT - June 27th 1159p EDT - Essentially, nights from 6 or 7 pm EDT on to around 1am works any day after the 22nd until the night of the 27th. However, I can make it work whenever.

Game: Rosenkreuzstilette
Category: Tia Any%
Estimate: 50:00
Misc Info: I'm bad, probably will be better by the time marathon comes around, but no promises. Anime girl Mega Man clone.
Projected Availability: Fri 8-12am EST, Sat 6am-12pm, 6pm-12am EST, Sun all day

Game: Dustforce DX
Category: S-complete all Custom Map Pack
Estimate: 2:30:00
Misc Info: Most speedruns of this game do all the stock levels, but I'd like to show off the custom levels that many users have created. There are some really neat ideas. Going for S-completion to show off the levels, as SS might take quite a while longer.
Projected Availability: Fri 8-12am EST, Sat 6am-12pm, 6pm-12am EST, Sun all day

Game: Lawn Mower (NES)
Category: 10 lawns
Estimate: 15:00
Misc Info: I like mowing lawns. You mow lawns, collect fuel cans. Game is a lot harder than it looks, but maybe not that great since it doesn't look amazing.
Projected Availability: almost any time: Weekdays 8pm-12am EST, Sat 6am-12pm, 6pm-12am EST, Sun all day

Game : Shovel Knight
Category : Any%
Estimate : 55:00
Misc Info : Shovel Knight is the indy game of 2014 and is a great well build platformer with element from multiple games like Castlevania, Megaman, Zelda 2 and lot more. For the Any% Category, it's a run that need a route for the money you need for the items and upgrade you have to get to finish the game as fast as possible. And it starts slow to go faster and faster as you get items and upgrades.

Game : Shovel Knight
Category : Low%
Estimate : 55:00
Misc Info : The same as any% but without items and upgrades.

Game : Shovel Knight
Category : Custom Knight%
Estimate : 45:00
Misc Info : Custom Knight is a Shovel Knight boosted to the T and is the fastest character you can play. Exclusive to the WiiU Through The Shovel Knight Amiibo that also let's you coop.

Game : Shovel Knight
Category : Shovel Knight + Plague Knight Any%
Estimate : 1:40:00
Misc Info : It's a category that will become a 4 character Any% Run later when Specter Knight and King Knight will be avaible but it is basically 2 runs in a row that i really like because it forces you to be strong in 2 differents style but in the same world and make a longer Platformer Run which i like as well.

Common Misc Info : I can race all of it with anybody that will submit

Projected Availability : Should be at any time but i still prefer a CEST Afternoon/Evening Timing.

In order of preference:

Game: Ys Origin
Category: Any% Toal Easy
Estimate: 1:45:00
Misc Info: The fastest character for Ys Origin speedrunning, owing to the idea that Toal doesn't understand what a "key" or "door" is and can clip through any of them at will with precise angles/positioning. It also helps that he has some broken damage output options like his jumping attack (multiple hits of ~double damage) and boosted spells becoming monstrous. Interesting glitches and boss fights that are quite optimised speed-tech wise now and some new tech in the past few months. My current PB also has a death in it so definitely scrub-worthy. Also down to race any others who submit this category (mostly Ghostking).
Projected Availability: As yet, literally whenever. If i find a job between now and then this could change but i'd update asap should that happen.

Game: Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together (PSP)
Category: Any%
Estimate: 4:20:00
Misc Info: A very well-done remake of an old Strategy RPG, broken archers and flying people ahoy! Interestingly enough, as broken as archers are (due to being able to target outside of their given range with bows), the route only uses 3 of them(half the party that gets used) due to how this game handles its World Tarot system (effectively a NG+ system). Basically, if your highest level party member in any given fight is above a certain level (dependant on the battle), the enemies will "level up", which also happens to give them broken gear that you can barely pierce with your mediocre equipment no matter your level. So half the party also consists of wizards, and sometimes others(who do pretty much nothing until the end) to exp leech. Still in the process of optimising parts of the route too, fortunately none of the two potential unique recruitable permadeaths kill the run, they simply slow it down and mess with some turn orders.
Projected availability: As yet, literally whenever. If i find a job between now and then this could change but i'd update asap should that happen.

Game: Final Fantasy Type-0 (PS4)
Category: Any% cadet/Any% agito
Estimate: 2:45:00/7:00:00
Misc Info: A unique FF game, involving a party of 14 characters (of which 3 can be out at a time). Cadet is fairly easy for pretty much the entire game, since enemies are the level they are "supposed" to be resulting in oneshots on almost every smaller enemy and most of the larger ones. Agito, though, is a monster (enemies are a flat 30 levels higher than they're supposed to be), though the middle parts of the game aren't too scary due to the power of the eidolon Shiva. Both difficulties blitz through most of the midgame missions with Shiva, however the final(long) mission doesn't allow Eidolons and allows the showing of some more characters and their uses.
Projected availabilty: As yet, literally whenever. If i find a job between now and then this could change but i'd update asap should that happen.

Category: Any% (PSP)/ Any% (PSX)/ All Bosses (PSP)
Estimate: 1:45:00/ 3:30:00 / 4:50:00

Game: Evoland

Why Hello it is Me

Will likely submit at least one more before deadline, but wanted to get this in first.

In order of preference:
Custom Robo (Battle Revolution)
Category: Any%
Estimate: 2:45:00
Misc Info: Cult classic Gamecube action/arena game. Deaths basically always happen in runs so it can be pretty scrubby.

Game: Ys Origin
Category: Toal Any%
Estimate: 1:45:00
Misc Info: Submitting as a race with FellVisage (and if someone else wants to submit). We currently have 2 of the top 3 times which are all over two minutes of improvement over what the WR was last time Ys Origin was run for Scrubathon.
Projected Availability: I will be available at any time on Tuesday June 21, Tuesday June 28th, and most mornings (9AM-1PM Pacific Time) and evenings (10PM-2AM) on the other days. I'll have to see what my Summer schedule is like at work before confirming for sure. If one runner of this game is preferred, go with Fell over me.

Game: Cthulhu Saves The World
Category: Any%
Estimate: 1:15:00
Misc Info: Short, comical RPG with some interesting design, solid music, and just quickly paced battles.
Projected Availability: ^

Will add more soon.

Game: Halo: Reach
Category: Easy 4 Player Qwit (with Halodude862, Pedrogas, Haolecake, subject to change)
Estimate: 1:25
Misc Info: This is a 4 Player Co-op category that we call "qwit" because two players quit the game at the end of the 6th level to save time with 2-player specific spawns later in the game. This category has lots of 4-player specific tricks, and the numerous holdout fights in this game go much faster. Also, we may be able to stream all 4 perspectives to one twitch account, so you wouldn't have to bother with multi-perspective layouts.

Kirby, Halo, SW

Game: Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2
Category: Any% 4p co-op (With Backflip9, Danblast86 & Tensesummer)
Estimate: 0:37:00
Misc Info: A sort of spin off of the main Sniper Elite series that involves killing a crap load of zombies and running through 5 levels. This game full-path takes about an hour or two because it has a bunch of hold-out fights, the thing is, this game is incredibly broken. A few months ago we routed this game and found crap tons of glitches. About 80% of the tricks and glitches we use in this run we discovered, almost everyday we would find a new trick. The game itself still has a decent balance of shooting and clipping sections, it's a super fun game to run. To clear confusion, when ever we pause the game we are doing a trick called pause running that is used in many skips. (we also will be able to sync all of our perspectives)
Projected Availability: Really anytime after about 6pm CST

Game: Kirby: Nightmare In Dreamland
Category: Any%/100%
Estimate: 0:50:00 for both any% and 100%
Misc Info: Great Race game if anyone else submits. In general this is a really skill based precision platformer that utilizes a large array of abilties.
Projected Availability: Really anytime after about 12pm CST

Game: Mega Man: Rock Force
Category: Any%
Estimate: 0:50:00
Misc Info: Race with peterafro if he submits. Fan-made megaman game that is really well made with custom stages, bosses, enemies and even a original sound track.
Projected Availability: Really anytime after about 12pm CST

Game: Final Fight 2 (SNES/Wii U VC)
Category: Haggar Easy Any%
Estimate: 0:35:00
Misc Info: For a second year in a row, Final Fight 2 fails to get into SGDQ; but I wouldn't mind running this before I go to SGDQ though. I enjoy running this at the last Scrubathon, so I wouldn't mind doing it again to show how fast Haggar wipes the floor of the second incarnation of Mad Gear.
Availability: Available for most of the week except Sundays, but due to work, I can do my runs around 6 PM and after.

Game: Rival Turf (SNES/Wii U VC)
Category: Nelson Any%
Estimate: 0:40:00 or 0:50:00 if I fail to access the warp on 4-2
Misc Info: This game, I believe, has the potential of daring any runner if they're runners or scrubs; this game has bugs and glitches that put the runner at a disadvantage, but I think this is a good game for this marathon. There is a bug that can cause the game to crash at the start of levels though. There's a warp on 4-2 that skips most of it and puts you at the start of 4-3, but requires a score of 30 to access it.
Availability: Same as listed above.

Game: Brawl Brothers (SNES/Wii U VC)
Category: Easy Any%
Estimate: 0:50:00- My bad, I forgot my current time is right around 50 minutes.
Misc Info: Enemies can be pretty cheap at times; stage 3 can be long unless you know the route, and I tend to use different characters on each of the four stages. Still a fun run to watch.
Availability: Same as listed above.
