Schedule's up!

Sadly, the personal-preference games I'm most interested in are at inconvenient time slots (Metroid Prime 2 6% run - why was this stuck in the middle of the day Tuesday???, MegaMan Network Transmission, Mighty No. 9, Cheetahmen), and I disagree with the choice of show-closer (the third-to-last game would have been much better imo), but there's still some great stuff to be had. The DKC Trilogy Relay in particular has me committed, and that Super Metroid 100% race lineup is sure to put on a fantastic show. Also looking forward to the SMB Warpless race and the KSS 100% race.

Also Tetris with Cardcaptor Sakura hell yessssss

Shame man, i guess you can always watch the youtube uploads, albeit it is definitely not like watching it live, can't you even use something like a mobile device or something to watch ?

I can tell you with certainty that if you like Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door you will not be disappointed with Almo and Sjorec running it Thursday night. The last time it was featured was SGDQ 2014 and since then the run has gone down two and a half hours thanks to various amazing tricks found since then, and the run was already really entertaining back in 2014.

Finally a GDQ event that features the mighty Daikatana! Other than that, I wonder what catastrophic RNG failures will the Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword speedrun bring about.

Absolutely 0, I can attest to this the run is completely luck based and absolutely nothing about it is rigged nope

Oh snap, I missed that entirely. Congrats! Sucks that you're at a hard-to-watch time slot for most viewers, though.

tfw the game I used to hold WR in is being run at a timeslot I'll almost certainly be working during (MM Network Transmission)

Also I remember being quite surprised with a number of picks and decisions this year, especially in terms of avoiding the 'usual suspects' in favour of more esoteric picks.

I personally think that Undertale as the finale was a stroke of genius which should prove to be very lucrative for the charity.

There should be a bid war between save the feels and kill the feels (you know what I'm talking about). :V

I can see them getting more money with WWHD > SM > UT than UT > SM > WWHD simply by having 2.5 hours more to rack up Save the Animals vs. Save the Frames donations. :V And there's probably going to be a lot of appeal to closing with an immensely popular game that has never been seen at a GDQ before.

But it's gonna go under 90 minutes, because these kinds of runs always beat their times, and maybe this is just me, but that takes a lot away from the tension and the viewership investment. If something goes wrong, then that sucks, but it's not nearly as soul-crushing screwing up 80 minutes into a game as screwing up 210 minutes into a game. I don't give two damns about Final Fantasy 6 but the SDGQ 2016 run of it was incredibly nerve-wracking for exactly this reason.

I'm hoping to be wrong about this in the end, and I'm sure the show is going to be fantastic no matter what they do (they could have ended with Cheetahmen and still done great), but I can't help being cautiously pessimistic about it. I dunno. Maybe I'm concerned about nothing.

Same with Chrono Trigger the year before

And as far as I'm aware with UT runs there doesn't seem to be a whole lot you can mess up near the end

Suwako Moriya · « **Reply #17 on:** October 27, 2016, 01:46:11 PM »

That too (though I give a lot more than two damns about CT, ahaha). I would actually submit that that CT run is the greatest GDQ speedrun in history, and the time investment is a non-trivial reason why.

Bumping instead of new thread because this starts in a measly 32 hours

So, are you already there, PX, or are you going to hold off until closer to your run?

Anyway, hype as shit, but I won't be able to watch nearly as much as I have in past years thanks to just now being moved over to full-time. Sleep deprivation may be a thing for me.
