Games Done Quick: See You Next Mission

Sterica

The Games Done Quick channel has uploaded higher quality videos of each run, and in some cases certain sound or video issues may have been cleared up (no guarantees).

Not going to bother going through the OP and adding like 20 new links, but just an fyi.

As we don't have a general speedrunning thread that I know of, for all youse pleasure:

JRTA Marathon is currently running

- Cool people playing very Japanese games very fast, currently featuring Goemon:

Thanks man, i'll be sure to check it out.

Also yes on making this the general speedrunning thread? @Bobkins Flymo

Kai_San

It basically was and the marathons took over. So it already should be a general thread.

SkutSkut

There's also the HayaiKawaiiMarathon where they raise funds for some of their members to be able to travel to GDQs and do their runs, and it's live now.

BlueBlue

oh cool i know hiddendistance will be runing la-mulana for that

Sterica

This thread was the speedrunning thread, but basically had no life in it except twice a year for GDQ.

If you want to post other speedrunning stuff that's fine.

TeeMan

I've got holidays that occur over next years AGDQ. This may or may not be a coincidence

Currently featuring Fortified Zone With Conspicuous Background Trashbear.

We're also less than three weeks away from AGDQ 2016!

And I'm still not caught up on SGDQ 2015!

Or AGDQ 2015 for that matter.

Probably.

Actually, looking at the SGDQ schedule I think I actually watched more than I thought. I think I'll just watch Chrono Trigger and leave it at that.

SkutSkut

The hunt for sub 5 is over.

Record right now is apparently 4:14 which I don't think I'll chase.

AGDQ 2016 schedule is up.

Holy shit, so much good stuff. Can't wait for the Super Mario Maker race.

BlueBlue

I think it can go well or it can go 8 screens no names

Maz-

Yeah, the "whose screen should I watch" thing is always kind of a problem with races.

TeeMan

If you want to hear guys complain about how awful they are yet absolutely crush a video game to within an inch of its life, be sure to watch the Super Mario 64 3-way race on the first day. All three runners are as high-level as it gets

Sterica

Eight racers is actually awful because races tend to be prone to the most technical issues and throwing another four tvs in there does not help things.

BlueBlue

seems like the format is a relay race between the two teams

Sterica

We're five days away! OP is being updated for the new marathon, so some information like non-English restreams may be outdated.

Can two million be achieved? Only time will tell.

Knight_

Oh mannnnnn AGDQ I totally forgot about this. I never even finished catching up on SGDQ but this will be so appreciated for my first full work week in 2 weeks.

Think I might go watch the sands of time run from sgdq again to get excited.

Maz-

https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule

Final schedule with the handy time zone converter is now up.

As always, many of the runs I'm interested in are taking place in the middle of the night.

Forar

Now to see the next round of epic shirts on offer.

I wish I hadn't passed on the Metroid kill/save glow in the dark one, and I think there was another that glowed I had an eye on.

But contributions were made anyway, and I too hope we can vanquish the $2m target this time around.

Kai_San

The Mario maker section will either be glorious or a disaster. Which means either way it's a can't miss.

Also what is this ff4 no stairs glitch run by someone I am not familiar with? I am intrigued.

Amazing how every year they manage to step up everything somehow.

Knight_

My cat just ruined my AGDQ2015 shirt which I really loved, so I'm excited to pick up a couple new shirts.

Polaritie

Huh, Splatoon being on the list I did not expect at all, though yeah I guess it has single player (that really everyone does eventually for the unlocks, but...).

Upside though will be everyone hearing the Squid Sisters sing... for probably like 1-2 minutes tops, given it's a speed run (that section of the fight isn't long anyways).

EmperorSeth

Holy shit, Iji! I know where my donations are going. Surprised by the lack of Undertale, but it may be too new.

BlueBlue

I've got to imagine an undertale speed run to be kind of super boring? I guess it's down to ability to dodge just to keep from having to take time to heal, seeing a no-damage run in action would be ok I guess
Unless there's neat glitches or something

Glal

Yeah, all the categories that make Undertale interesting are the ones a speedrun would skip through.

Knight_

iirc they lock down who's in these thing a few months beforehand, so it probably wasn't even out yet

dav3yb

I hear they have a pretty awesome free-to-attendees arcade room that will be set up. beatmania, ddr, some classics. i'd probably go just for that. But I do like speed runs. I've been wanting to learn stuff for ocarina of time, but i feel that stuff is a lot more complex than anything in Mario 64, which i do a decent job running already.

Sterica

I think the deadline for runs was Oct or Nov, so a Sept release like Undertale was probably cutting it a bit close

TheySlashThem

like any other super popular RPG, even though speedruns undermine their greatest strengths, undertale speed runs are already happening

usually the categories are for the different endings, though the most interesting option I've seen is DUCK%, which is just getting to

the bird that carries you over a disproportionately small gap

as quickly as possible

Kai_San

Undertale does have speedruns yeah. I just don't think anyone has found anything interesting enough to make a show of it.

I think speedruns either have to have a few neat tricks or require some badass playing of which currently speedrunning undertale really doesn't require either yet. Even if it made the cut, it likely needs more time in the oven to be a good show.
