I have officially changed the dates because it has seemingly worked better for everyone I talked to AND there's 2 marathons at the old time. So if you need to update availability please do so in a separate post!
http://www.twitch.tv/elgranjerry Chrono Trigger Any% Estimate: 3:30 http://www.twitch.tv/elgranjerry/c/5252345 (Got a new PB like 30 min ago lol 3:13, so 3:30 is more than safe on the time ;)) Chrono Trigger speedruns are really hype and interesting. Abusing glitches like fadeouts, unequipping your character and even skipping bosses are things that once seemed impossible. Also use a positioning glitch to kill the mighty Lavos with a healing item??? 24 and 26. Saturday 25 I won't be available at all
I haven't had a trap tower run that went below 40 minutes in a while. It could go past 40 in the marathon if I play horribly and get walled in 8-6, but that hasn't happened to me in a while.
I think it's safe to reduce my estimate to 40 minutes.
Just a note, I withdrew my Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles submission from my original post due to a broken disc, then submitted a bunch of other stuff. Just pointing it out! Sorry I can't do Crystal Chronicles. Everything else should be good to go though.
Game: Space Funeral Category: Any% Rank: 1st WR Video:
Description: A short, abstract indie RPG that stays interesting all throughout, telling a story that no one can really describe properly. Time Estimate: 0:15:00 My Thoughts: It's very likely that something will go wrong, so I'm estimating high just in case.
Game: Aether Category: Any% Rank: 1st WR Video:
Description: A surreal indie game designed by Edmund McMillen. A boy and his octopus fly around in space and solve puzzles on planets. Time Estimate: 0:10:00 My Thoughts: Again, it's likely that something can go wrong because the cloud patterns are random, so I'm estimating high just in case I get a really bad one.
Game: OFF Category: Any% or 100% Rank: N/A No video Description: A French indie RPG Maker game. Part abstract, part horror, part symbolism, part puzzle game, all very good. Time Estimate: 2:00:00 or 2:45:00 My Thoughts: My definition of 100% is getting the secret 3rd ending, which requires an extra boss fight and three highly treacherous areas containing very difficult battles. UPDATE: My first completed run came in at 1:42:30 with a lot of mistakes (including a death that wasted 5 minutes) so I've dropped both of my estimates by 15 minutes. This is probably the run I'd be most excited to do.
Can I add that it would be really cool if my Clock of Atonement run would be right before or right after a run of Space Funeral by Samsa, seeing as they are both indie projects made in RPG maker? It would be a block NOBODY would be expecting, even if both games are ultra short. edit: This is of course assuming both get accepted.
Game 11: Mega Man X4 Catagory: any% ultimate armor X Estimate: 50:00 rank: #1 PB video: http://www.twitch.tv/thepeterafro/c/5260136 Description: Think X4 has jumped the shark? Think again. This category spices things up with tons of nova striking.
Description of Game: pretty much a fun game, you kill zombies with capcom cameo stuff, random weapons, funny stuff here and there, and its a pretty entence run with all the strats you have to pull off, alot of interaction with viewers on deciding what to wear, use, etc.
Estimate: 2:00:xx for DR3, 45:xx for dr2:otr,( i havent ran this yet, but will before the marathon, so its unsure.)
Game: Doom: Memento Mori Category: UV Speed Rank: 2 Description: A hard ass doom game with some cool stuff. Estimate: 2:00:00
Learning this stuff right now so I thought I would throw it in. I am still working on it so 2 hours is pretty generous I guess. That being said, my first run was over 2 hours so lol.
Availability update: I've moved into a new apartment meaning I have a lot more time on the weekdays. My unavailable times during the weekdays are 12PM - 3PM MST (so 2PM - 5PM EST).
Yea. I have a job interview tomorrow and no idea if I get it when I'll start or the hours I'll have so I'm a little up in the air about availability right now. I'll let you know more when I find out.
I'll throw one more in but I'm not SUPER amazing at it. Also I'll probably find out about the job tomorrow or Monday and I can update my availability potentially.
Game: Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers Category: Any% Estimate: 35 Minutes(My PB is 22 but there's a skip that's really funky cuz of the physics dealt with it and I can lose time off it) Rank: No idea who else runs it besides the WR holder but not that amazing) Description of Game: 3D style physics shooter/adventure. In which you chase after a stolen pair of mystic underpants. You don't really shoot people more as cut blocks and stuff to advance. A bunch of physics abusing skips.
Game: Silent Hill 3 Category: Any% Easy/Easy Estimate 55:00 Rank: 9th(Literally 1 second behind 8th) Description: Silent Hill game. Mainly movement. Not any real glitches. Mainly just proper boss fights and a LOT of movement. Not super exciting but it's there on the table if needed. I ran this back at Speedathon and got trolled horribly by RNG. Definitely not my highlight run of it. So I'm a little tentative about submitting again.(Even though it's accepted to Fast Force Marathon in December)
