Le Hulk: 2016-05-08 12:35:43 am
SNES rules!
Game: Soul Blazer + Illusion of Gaia
Category: 2G1C (2 games 1 controller)
Estimate: 3:15:00
Misc. Info: People seemed to like this last time. I'd love to give it another try!

Game: The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse
Category: Hard difficulty
Estimate: 20:00
Misc. Info: Solid platformer where Mickey can choose between different suits for varied gameplay, and use ramps and jumps to keep momentum. All that with only 2 hearts for increased difficulty. A real classic.

Game: Pitfall: the Mayan Adventure
Category: Any%
Estimate: 15:00
Misc. Info: A very speedy and intense run. Epic cheetah fights, lots of weapons, and even a pixel-perfect wall clip. Short but soooo sweet.

Game: Ghoul Patrol
Category: Any%
Estimate: 35:00
Misc. Info: The often despised "sequel" to Zombies Ate My Neigbors. This run implies lots of clever routing (let victims die to save time, good use of potions) and item/weapon management. To be honest, this game is really not as bad as it's often made out to be. If this game gets in, it would probably be its very first time in any marathon ever, which would be awesome!


Game: Super Adventure Island 2
Category: Any%
Estimate: 1:00:00
Misc. Info: A really amazing Zelda 2-esque game. Damage-boosting to reach areas you're not supposed to is the name of this speedrun. With funky graphics and awesome music, this game is a true SNES gem.

Availability: Anytime on week-ends, and between 7pm and midnight (CET) on week days.


I'm leaving the 5th spot open for Super Adventure Island II if I manage to learn it soon enough. Otherwise, I'll submit another game.
EDIT: I added Super Adventure Island 2.
Rad... They have taken me...
Game: Adventures of Rad Gravity, The (NES)
Category: 100%
Estimate: 35:00
Misc Info: My first official Speed Game, I put a lot of love and labour into routing this bad boy and the result is beautiful.
Rad Gravity is one of those games I think went under the radar for a lot of people. It's an adventure/platformer with solid controls, unique game mechanics and a lot of charm. Plus, y'know, Bruce Campbell in space.
In the run we got Glitches, Skips, Zips, and some major sequence breaking.

Game: Lord of the Rings Vol. 1 (SNES)
Category: Any%
Estimate: 1:15:00
Misc Info: If you know this game you may turn your nose up at the idea of a speedrun due to it's disgusting amount of fetch-questing through caves of identical mazes. So would I.
However I've happened upon a game breaking glitch that's going to let us skip 75-80% of all that garbage.  So sit back and listen to a  re-telling of a time old tale as you've never heard it before!

Projected Availability: Anytime, very flexible work schedule.

Aquas: 2016-05-10 02:02:12 am
Game: Surprise Attack
Category: Any%
Estimate: 20:00
Misc Info: An arcade sidescrolling action game from 1990 Konami.  It's like a hybrid of Shinobi and Rolling Thunder but set in space.  Speed is emphasized with end of stage messages displaying "HI_SPEED DUDE" for going fast.

Game: Gimmick!
Category: Best Ending, Any%
Estimate: 15:00, 10:00 respectively
Misc Info: There are two new clips that haven't been shown in a marathon and will be a preview for Gimmick!'s appearance in SGDQ '16.

Game: Ghouls 'N Ghosts
Category: Any% (Arcade), Any% (SuperGrafx)
Estimate: 20:00
Misc Info: The SuperGrafx version feels like it plays a little bit faster and is a bit more dangerous than the Arcade version but I'm willing to run it.  Arcade version is still superior.

Game: Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins Revised aka Gokumakaimura Kai
Category: Any%
Estimate: 55:00
Misc Info: This is the PSP game, japanese revised version to be more like an Arcade experience.  Very cool and unseen iteration of the GnG series.

Projected Availability: I'm flexible

Ellieceraptor: 2016-05-12 03:59:08 am
Game: Sound Shapes
Category: All Non-DLC Albums Any%/100%
Estimate: 1:00:00
Misc Info: Gorgeous 2D platformer with great music that hooks into its gameplay. Many of its levels are cycle dependent, meaning you will have to adapt accordingly. I will look into the possibility of racing this vs. ProfessorScales.
Projected Availability: Whenever between June 22nd - June 29th

Game: SUPERHOT
Category: Any%
Estimate: 0:30:00
Misc Info: A puzzle FPS in which time only moves when you do, letting you line up shots and dodge bullets. Ironically you try to use these mechanics as little as possible when speedrunning. It also has a sweet ASCII brain.
Projected Availability: Whenever between June 22nd - June 29th

Game: SUPERHOT
Category: Katana%
Estimate: 0:15:00
Misc Info: SUPERHOT except all you are allowed to use is katanas. This effectively turns it into a horror game because dashing between enemies under fire can be stressful! Definitely a higher risk, high adrenaline category of this game.
Projected Availability: Whenever between June 22nd - June 29th
Game: Strike Suit Zero Director's Cut
Category: NG+ Any% Easy
Estimate: 2:30:00
Misc Info: Scrubathon needs more people with 0 average viewers and uncontested WRs in games no one bothers with. But seriously, this is a fun space shooter that deservers more attention. Also I'm a little salty this run got rejected from Shots Fired 2.
Projected Availability: Monday-Thursday 4pm-8pm PST, Friday-Sunday 8am-8pm PST
Party%
I removed my 13-2 submission from my post as it was only a placeholder if I'd have time to learn it until mid-end May which looks like it won't happen.
Game: I wanna be the Boshy

Category: Any% (Dark Boshy, No Wrong Warp)

Estimate: 35:00

Misc Info: I'll most likely run this at ESA and want to get some marathon practice in.

Projected Availability: Monday-Friday 8 pm-1 am CEST, Weekend pretty much whenever.
INTJ
Game: Secret of Mana
Category: 'Glitchless'
Estimate: 4:30:00
Misc Info: A different approach to a game so glitchy, that it's basically impossible to do an entire run without something unintended to occur - Thus we just try to play it as glitchless as possible. Think of it as a "Spirit of the game" type of category. More information: http://pastebin.com/m2AHCxFf
-> Potential race with crow/falexxx1 if they would like to participate?

Game: Tales of Phantasia (SNES)
Category: Any%
Estimate: 4:45:00
Misc Info: A game that was never released outside of Japan, so it will be in Japanese - but I aim to explain basically everything along the way. Further, the series "Tales of..." went on to become pretty large, so people kind of know about the series at least.

Projected Availability: Preferably between 3PM - 3AM European standard time. But can technically be anytime (Probably.)
Updated my submission(page 2), decided on Ys game
NowOwnsAFreaking Plane
Game: Saturday Morning RPG
Category: Any% (All Episodes)
Estimate: 1:30:00
Mist Info:  I was supposed to run this at RPG Limit Break, but I had a panic attack and was unable to board my plane as a result.  I would still love for this game to get a marathon, as RPGLB was going to be it's first marathon appearance.  Game is fast/broken during fights secondary to a spell that increases your attack power based on your mashing speed, which allows to one shot some bosses even.  I also play controller and keyboard simultaneously for increased movement speed.

Game: Hot Wheels Turbo Racing
Category: Any%
Estimate: 0:42:00
Misc Info:  Bad racing game that I've ran for 2.5 years now.  We skip some races with RNG manipulation.  Becuase every marathon needs a bad N64 racer, right?

Game: Puyo Puyo 2 Remix
Category: Rallye Mode
Estimate: 0:40:00
Misc Info:  A hard puzzle game played against the hardest AI.  33 levels of RNG and on the fly thinking.

Projected Availability:  Early mornings work the best here: 4:00 AM to 7:30 AM Eastern Standard time preferred.

FeralPigMan: 2016-05-19 10:11:26 am
FeralPigMan: 2016-05-17 12:05:21 am
Game: Where's Waldo NES
Category: easy, medium, hard, or trifecta race
Estimate: 2:30, 3:00, 3:30, 15:00 (these are basically pulled out of my ass, i don't remember what my times actually are)
Misc Info:  Where's Waldo is the new hot speed game of 2016, and races of it are just about as hype as Mystic Quest. Just like MQ, it's all skill and not at all dependent on what kind of subway you get.

Game: Funaki Masakatsu no Hybrid Wrestler: Tōgi Denshō
Category: 100% (win the circuit, all three league championships, get married and have a kid)
Estimate: 25:00
Misc Info:  When young, scrappy 18 year old LCC entered the wrestling league, nobody knew that a mere 20 years later, he would have murdered his way to the top of three different leagues. The world needs to know about his career, which included choking opponents out, throwing them through building roofs, marrying an 18 year old Kenyan girl at the age of 33, and having a kid named Bich. Hybrid Wrestler is a truly amazing game, and it blows my mind that it isn't insanely popular.

Availability: 6/21, 6/23, 6/27-end, 6pm-12am PST. I might be free 24-26, but I'd have to let you know about those dates later.

Game: Quest 64 US/JP | Caster
Category: Any% US/JP  All Spirits US/JP Caster Any%
Estimate: Any% 2:25  All spirits 2:35 Caster any% 0:20
Misc Info: US any% is the most interesting with OOB and cloning. Can do race of US all spirits with Driftingskies
              Caster is a short shooter with interesting mechanics and weapons.
Projected Availability: I should be available June 21st - 24th and June 27th - 29th from 6PM - 12AM EST

Game: Phantom Brave
Category : Any% English
Estimate: 2:55 (will update to lower as i get comfortable again)
Misc Info: Tactical RPG (like disgaea) with a abuse-able  feature that allows me to get insane weapons to beat the game....
Projected Availability: weekdays after 6:30 pm - 3amish, weekends pretty much anytime would prefer not 3-9am just for the sake of my sleep schedule.

Game: Lufia II
Category: Ancient Cave
Estimate: 2:00
Misc Info : Clearly  I am not a prominent runner but would be willing to do it (or race it..)
Chrono Trigger Speedrunner
Game: The Legend of Zelda
Category: Any% No Up+A
Estimate: 45:00
Misc Info: Picking it up again (on console now). PB is 39:25, very improvable even with "noob" route
Projected Availability: I should be available on the weekends (Sat-Sun) at anytime between 8am and 10pm. During weekdays as well but after 6pm to 10pmish

Game: Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death
Category: CO-OP JURY
Estimate: 00:46:00
Misc Info: Co-op with Shaddex as practice for our SGDQ run (it's also in ESA with someone else), JURY is the cutscene% run, can also do it without cutscenes with a 28:00 estimate (but they're pretty good)

Game: Dishonored
Category: Any% (Yes)
Estimate: 00:40:00
Misc. Info: Practice for SGDQ, fast paced game with a teleport mechanic.

Game: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Category: Any%
Estimate: 00:40:00
Misc. Info: Practice for SGDQ, also one of the most ridiculously broken games around. I did this at Scrubathon 3 but the route has developed a ton since then.

Game: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Category: All Main Quests
Estimate: 00:40:00
Misc. Info: Practice for ESA, also a very broken game, and extremely fast. This run completes all main quests in the game to give a much more satisfying run than the typical 5min long any% run.

Game: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Category: Any% NG+ Co-op
Estimate: 00:30:00
Misc. Info: Co-op with RandomPinkBunny, practice for ESA. Isometric action game that is heavy broken and most levels are majorly skipped.

Projected Availability: open except sunday 12pm-6pm EST
Updated my Hybrid Wrestler estimate.
