Star Force is cool. I recently rerouted every game in the series and brought the times down significantly. I want to show one of them off since they've had so little exposure. Unlike what most people would probably assume, these are very different from Battle Network games despite the similar art style. Combat is much more fluid and fast paced with an emphasis on fast thinking and reflexes as opposed to the slower paced strategy focus of BN combat.
Game: Mega Man Star Force
Category: Any%
Estimate: 3:10:00
Misc Info: I don't really care for the game mechanically, but I can run it if you want this one. I think the run is a good watch, I just don't care for playing it.

Game: Mega Man Star Force 2
Category: Any%/Any% PAL
Estimate: 2:20:00 (Any)/ 3:05:00 (PAL)
Misc Info: My favorite SF game both casually and as a speedrun by a mile. Route is the most solid of all the SF games, and bosses are basically SF1 but more consistent. Any% is boring but it's short, PAL is the hardest SF run by far because they removed all of the features that make Any% so fast/easy.

Game: Mega Man Star Force 3
Category: Any% Cards/Any% No Cards
Estimate: 2:25:00 (Cards)/2:45:00 (No Cards)
Misc Info: The most popular SF game. The combat mechanics got overhauled and there's some fantastic new additions. Cards make the game really easy/boring but it's short. No cards suffers from abusing the same general strategy repeatedly, but you do half the run at very low HP and bosses are fast and hit hard, so they can get pretty tense.

Availability: Mostly any time. I'm busy on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-9 PM EST but other than that literally whenever.
