Speedathon Schdedule is up!!! marathon is september 12th -17th HYPE

2013-07-17 03:25:20 pm

I would like to offer:

Pokémon Black Version: estimate 4:30:00 (actual play time ~3:40:00). I have complete routes for two of the three starters, so it is possible to include either a bid war between the two, or a donation goal to use Snivy (the more difficult and slightly longer route) instead of Tepig.

Dust: An Elysian Tail (PC) 117% w/ warps: estimate 2:30:00 (actual play time ~2:10:00). This is a full completion run of this game. There's a lot to commentate about route ordering, quests, the game itself, etc. No

Dust: An Elysian Tail (PC) any% w/ warps: estimate 35:00 (actual play time ~25:00). This is a fast-paced, glitchy run of this game. Would work really well as a follow-up to the 117% run, although many of the skips here are also used in 117%.

Adding you for Pokemon Black, and Dust: An Elysian Tail Any%. We'll make 117% a donation incentive, sound good?

I can offer:
Ratchet and Clank Any% NG+ (HD Collection triology version, PS3)
Estimate: 1 hour
Any% NG+ has massive segment breaks and wacky glitches. The run will begin on first planet and beat the final boss with overpowered weapons quickly.

Ratchet and Clank Any%
Estimate: 1:40 max
Personally, I'm somewhat bad with any% but I should be able to pick it up quickly. This category is far more difficult than NG+, since you have half the health and significantly weaker weapons. A game-breaking glitch is inaccessible, so the route is longer and has some different glitches.

I can do other longer categories if you want use this as a donation incentive.

I'm unable to commentate, but I know few other runners who might be willing to commentate in my stead. Please PM me if you want to discuss about commenting thing further.

Everyone check the schedule and make sure your time is good. If not, let me know so we can change it to make it right for you.

Thanks a bunch! I've got no problem with a donation incentive for Dust, but do you think that might screw with your schedule a lot? There's a roughly 2-hour difference between the run estimates.

Quote from StingerPA:

It's up to Yaga. I'm fine either way, and co-commentary probably works better since he's more familiar with some aspects of the game than I am.

I'm up to co-commentate - I don't think it should be a problem unless it's scheduled at an impossible time. Next time Stinger improves the WR I'll simply practice commentating instead of only watching it Tongue

And no worries, the record can easily be improved, so that will happen

I would like to offer Pokemon Yellow glitched (No S+Q) with and estimate of 1:59:00 and Pokemon Crystal glitchless with an estimate of 3:57:00 (Incentives can of course be naming pokemon and trainers)

Blood Thunder

If it's not too late, I'd be willing to run:

*BioShock (1:10:00) - Any% (Donation Incentive for Good or Bad Ending) - Besides the Intro, the game is pretty fast paced and people always love to see one of their more favorite games be broken :3

*Quantum Conundrum (1:10:00) - Any% (Donation Incentive for all Collectibles. Estimated time would stay the same either way) - Really Interesting Puzzle game that has some insane tricks and strategies.

Just wanna say that the incentives should be for naming trainer/rival and pokemon for both Yellow and Crystal.

Do you need a webcam if planning to sign up for something like this, I need to buy one! Just curious if it was a requirement.

I'd be willing to run Doom 1, Episodes 1-4 (Estimate 45 minutes)

Im tempted to test out the plutonia experiment, but im hesistant because september is honestly pretty close.

I can run Noitu Love 2 Devolution Almond Speed Run 20 Minute Estimation.
For donation I can do the following:

Play final stage (At the moment my runs all include a glitch that skips the final stage for each respective character, doing this adds an additional 5 minutes to the estimation)

Play with the other two characters Xoda and/or Rilo (Xoda est 30, Rilo est 25)

Fight secret boss, this is for Xoda only.

From my experience, online marathons don't require webcam (but people like it). I generally hate using it and am uncomfortable with it, so I don't use one (being on camera for SGDQ next week is gonna be fun <_< )

You'll be fine Kirby. Everyone else who has asked for a game to be added, it will be added. Just keep an eye on the schedule.

There is always a way.

For now I can offer Mega Man Battle Network 6 Gregar. Estimate 3:00:00. Donation incentive could be for playing the other version, Falzar (3:10:00 estimate for Falzar just in case of really bad RNG).

My PB for Gregar is 2:40:02 (WR) and is still improvable by about 3-4 minutes. My PB for Falzar is around 2:55:00 (WR for now) and is improvable by an uncertain amount. I don't really have any plans to optimize Falzar.

Also I'm almost certain I'll have a capture setup for GBA games by September but there is a possibility I'll still be running on emulator so if you aren't ok with that please exclude me from the list.

FFXIII and Mario Games, yup.

I could offer the following games:

New Super Mario Brps. U 100% - Estimate of 3:50:00
Final Fantasy XIII Any% - Estimate of 6:30:00 (I can understand if too long)

With regards,
Jay

I did not think about it till now, but a donation incentive in Mass Effect 2 could be Face codes.
I don't know how you would pick what wins, but I think a lot of people would love to see something other then "default" Shepard.
Female vs male is like ~10 secs, so it would be what ever they want.

I may or may not also be in the Happy Tails Marathon. If I am it would be not what face I use there.
Mass Effect 2 uses Face codes. So it would cost 10 secs.

I can do Little Big Adventure Any% if you still need people. Estimate is 1:40:00 and I can go lower with the estimate if you want. It is just a pretty safe estimate. I shouldn't be overshooting 1:30:00 but I do like to give myself a little extra time just in case I do something stupid or marathon luck. Donation incentive for this game could be the filename. Also, if there is time, a donation incentive for showing off a sequence break that currently doesn't work in the Any% run due to some flags not being set. But I still find it interesting to show off.

I'm sorry, but I think I'll drop out from this :/. I have so many things to do the upcoming weeks and I don't think I'll get around to practice enough. Should I ask another DKC player to take my spot? Like Hippie, Tjp, Klosty or whoever.

Mordacai, it is not a meetup event. It's just an online marathon.
