Hello fellow speedrunners! We are introducing The Swedes of Speed! A meet-up with Swedish speedrunners that will be held in Skövde, Sweden sometime this fall. All Swedes are welcome to join, submit runs and help out to make this a truly epic event! Välfärd!

Our goal is to have one stream that will reflect the Swedish speedrunning scene! Also our goal is to make this marathon as cheap as possible for the runners and volunteers! We are looking for sponsors to help us lower the cost. Our dream is to be able to do this for free for all runners/volunteers!

We want to collaborate with as much people in the community as possible on this! All the help we can get is deeply appreciated!

Dates: We want the Swedish community to find suitable dates that works for most of us. To make sure this gathering happens we have already booked Robert Gustafsson Kulturiet all of week 49 just incase. This does not mean these are the dates we are gonna do it on but better safe than sorry!

There will be a Spanish restream provided by http://speedrunsespanol.com and we are waiting to find out if people want to do French/German/Russian restreams aswell! We are probably gonna stream it to Nico aswell to reach out to our friends in the Japanese community.

Jag personligen kommer göra åtminstone en trailer till det här maratonet. Något som förmedlar svenskarnas roll och historia inom speedrunning. Typ ifrån CGDQ till SoS.

Svenne, I'll offer my services to help out with imagery and layouts - I recently did all of the Metroid Marathon layouts which were well received! Smiley

Akisto

2015-07-10 01:10:08 am

I will bring RGB Streaming equipment together with NES, SNES and a N64 that outputs RGB as well as Everdrive N8 for the NES and SD2SNES for the SNES and a Everdrive 3.0 for N64, Both the SNES and N64 can run both NTSC-U and NTSC-J games.

Ok! Been away but updated the people interested. If ppl want a charity they can decide it! Nice! We are probably gonna have to limit us to 2 player races for our best! Go ahead lordalu, i talked with the crew and they loved your layouts. Especially where all game logos are being shown!

Also, we could accept foreigners if they are in a race vs a swede!

I could run Takeshis challenge, the glitches run is 5 minutes but I would put estimate at 7 mins

We already have a list of games that ppl has submitted but gonna try to get them to submit here aswell!

The games I could do!

Super Mario Bros. 2 - Warpless - 0:30:00 (I almost beat Cak's SGDQ run live at RSM15 in May so I guess that is cool!)
Super Mario Bros. 3 - Warpless - 1:00:00 Race vs. Akisto. We both have a 55 time.
North & South - Any% - 0:05:00 Kappa

Other games I could do but rather not

TaleSpin
Asterix
Two Secret NES games for Best of NES!

@Slask - Sounds good! Unfortunetly we already have three categories for OoT already submitted from various world champions or top runners so no more OoT for us! I know that is your main game etc.

Akisto

2015-07-17 02:47:14 pm

Super Mario World 96 Exits - 1:30:00 Estimate
Super Mario World 95 Exits, no cape - 1:40:00 Estimate

Super Mario World Romhack - Return to Dinosaur Land(100%) - 1:30:00 Estimate

Super Mario Bros. 3 Warpless - 1:00:00 Estimate Race vs Svenne
Super Mario Bros. 3 Any%(ACE) - 0:10:00 I will give this 2 attempts.

Pocky & Rocky Any% Solo - 0:25:00 Estimate

Some Smogon guy

How/when are the dates going to be decided? Like, it'd be nice to know asap due to work and stuff like that. In case you need to take days off etc.

Might as well add my game to this thread at the same time:

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - Any% - 1:45:00 (shouldn't even go over 1:40, but it's a just-in-case kind of deal)

I'll put DKC: Returns on the table too, in case you really want me to.

I might come and represent some master system goodness if my budget allows it

@svenne what about master quest Kappa

Svenne

2015-07-21 10:51:28 am

Smörgåsbord

Sounds good fellas! People have about 2-3 weeks to change dates or else we are just gonna go with the current dates. Usually its better to have set dates so ppl can plan etc!

Master Quest is still OoT, sorry!

Precursor

Okay sure

Mighty Gunvolt - any% with either Ekoro or Gunvolt (fuck Beck, Beck sucks) - 0:15:00 estimate (if there's a 3DS with capture and the game around)
Bionic Commando Rearmed - 100% - 1:00:00
Mega Pony - Rainbow Dash% - 0:35:00
Ragnarok Battle Offline - Swordman-F - 1:30:00

SGDQ15 is over and what a splendid marathon it was! It's easier for us if you also submit games with estimates etc!

Crippe was ok with lending his 3DS capture!

Let's see if we can get twocat can join us in a Any% race aswell! With the current route I personaly feel Any% only works in a race setting.

How many days (and which) of week 49 are you planning this? I don't think I'm going to sign up for any runs, since the only game I run seriously is Half-Life (of which there are far better swedes than me at), would love to come and meet all of you though!

SlaskPrask

2015-08-03 12:14:44 am

I guess I can also submit no time to explain. Any % should be less than 40 for marathon safety, 100% maybe 50 but I haven't done 100% runs yet, so I'll be checking out an estimate for that later today maybe. It's on steam. p c

@Gurka, depends on how many people can come etc. We rather just have two-three days of great content that showcase that sweden is a toptier nation in the hobby than 5 days with random games just to make a long marathon. Thursday to Saturday are atleast what we are hoping for!

@Slask Ok!

Btw, if you have any objections about the dates etc. you have until the end of this week to put forward your suggestions or else we are just gonna roll with the dates we have!

We already booked a part of Kulturhuset for a week just incase. We have been hosting events at Kulturhuset since 2008 so it feels natural for us to use it. Smiley
