It's only brainstorming, I don't think they're really going do a full day of Zelda games. Or at least I hope not, that would be terrible planning.

Selane posted:Ahahaha can't wait to see Drakkhen, truly a game worthy of awful games done quick. This list is, so far, about 9 hours of people being able to suggest games. If a game could be a good fit, it has been added. This list isn't being made up from someone, it's being taken from runners themselves suggesting the games. Suggestions should be open for at least a week. For Link to the Past, it has been done in just about every marathon, and as of right now there's not a ton of new stuff since SGDQ. I personally think it is one of those games that deserves to be in every marathon (if it has a good runner) but it has a pretty low shot for AGDQ 2014.

Every single Final Fantasy has been rejected so far, including puwexil offering FF7 and Caracarn offering FFs.  I offered Suikoden and Suikoden II and they have a 0% chance of getting in, if FFs can't get in.

24 hours of Zelda making the initial list is only offensive to me because a ton of great stuff has been rejected because of reasons like "This doesn't offer anything new over the run of it at last AGDQ", "Not enough donation incentives", and "I'm not sure if it has an audience". You could make the case that every game on that last is distinctly out of those categories, but some of the "staples" of the marathon seem so done to death.

It's why I get tired of some of these events because you always see SM64/Zelda/Final Fantasy/Metroid in them. I understand there's big names playing them and donation incentives but come on. I'd rather see a donation incentive to have big name speedrunners play Mario Party minigames or Mario Kart.

I sincerely doubt all of those Zelda games will get in. They probably just want to send them all past the first cut and then decide which one(s) to keep.

Super Metroid deserves to be in every marathon, because there's constantly new strats being developed (which is insane to think of for an almost 20 year old game) and it has a few good natural donation options (type of run, kill/save the animals).

Super Metroid should really be in every marathon if only because kill/save the animals is consistently by far the largest bid war in everything it's in.

Brett824 posted:I understand that, that's why I'm more upset about things that would be awesome and I think would be successful not even making the first cut. Yeah I agree. Like I said I offered an RPG that I've been running for 4-5 months, people seem to love the game and appreciate my commentary. I'm going to be soundly disappointed if/when it doesn't make the first cut, just because it feels like they're boxing out a lot of would-be good runs. And I know Final Fantasies are long, but it just seems shocking to shut them down, unless the plan is to get incentive-heavy RPGs that are shorter. And agreed with Super Metroid, that game should be in every marathon, just because of the animals donation war.

The way Uyama writes responses make it sound like his knowledge of the game is the deciding factor. I know he consults people, but sometimes it seems really iffy. The Zeldas are all on since they're all possible marathon runs, but there's no way in hell there will be 23 hours of Zeldas. Edit: Also the only Zelda that should go in from the 3Ds is Skyward Sword and random shorter OOT. Don't know if Bingo is solid since it will confuse most people (since traffic is mostly new comers). Edit2: And TriHex probably shouldn't play Yoshi's Island. Studio fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Aug 18, 2013 |

That schedule seems incredibly underwhelming. I hope a GTA sneaks in there but I'm guessing since all the main runners aren't Americans they might not for sure know their availability.

As someone that only watches speed running during the marathons Trihex seems like an entertaining guy that would bring in viewers and donations. Should he not be running because he doesn't have the record or because of something else?

CVagts posted:Trihex has been practicing pretty hard. I know he hasn't done a lot of runs lately, but I'm pretty sure he'll be ready for AGDQ. He has to make sure he gets his priorities straight. Which is weird to say, but last time he grinded hard he ended up going to Cali for a month, losing a lot of what he learned, and going back to the grind. He can put on a good run, but at the same time he can play stepmania for 4 hours and tout fake real talk.

Honestly, Trihex is still THE YI "personality" despite him being pretty behind at this point. Especially with him being ostensibly committed to grinding at this point, I can't imagine not giving him the run. Maybe the #yoshi community has a problem with it or something, but I can't even imagine that's the case.

Yea, Trihex got a lot of "fame" because he did that run during the first AGDQ and it was the first time a lot of people saw YI's in that light with the crazy tricks and showboating. I think at the time he was also in a constant fight for the WR but from what others have said here other runners have caught up to and passed him and I guess they want to see some of those guys get a show but Trihex is a fixture at these things so I see why he was given the run and don't really have an issue with it.

Suikoden got rejected but the reasoning made sense to me. Lots of RPGs and not a lot of RPG slots to fill. The only game on the first-cut schedule that I have a gripe with (that I've heard of) is Minecraft. I don't think it's a good speedrun game at all.

Carl_Sagan42 ran the game at last AGDQ and the run featured just as much showboating (not to mention it was around 20 minutes faster than any of Trihex's showings at marathons), so I don't see why Trihex would be a "fixture" for the game. In the end the result will be pleasing to the crowd since Yossy is an extremely technical and fun game to watch, but Trihex claiming he will have a 2:36:xx 100% time in two months when his run at SRG was about 4 hours is too optimistic.

I don't know why you're so defensive but that wasn't me putting Trihex on a pedestal, just explaining at least part of why he was given another go at YI. I also never said he was a fixture of the game, I said he was a fixture of the marathons and he is, every bit as recognizable as anyone else there if not more so.

I get "Binding of Isaac in AGDQ" flashbacks when I think about Minecraft at AGDQ '14. Maybe I'm mistaken, though. I think about 30 people have offered Ducktales Remastered. I'd almost be willing to bet real money that in three months, at least 2/3 of them will back out and not want to run the game.

I haven't paid any attention to the whole AGDQ Games Topic thing because I knew poo poo like this was going to be said, but it's worthwhile to point out that Uyama shot down puwexil's FF game despite him being both a good friend and also SDA staff. Really, though, I don't think a lot of folks appreciate how tough it is to make these decisions, and making snarky accusations of nepotism is really unfair, especially when he also goes out of his way to feature the big names from SRL and make sure that their site gets its fair share of plugs, too.
