Pros: The Sacrifice run and the Oregon Trail run were the highlights of the marathon for me, I would love to see more FUN, less serious runs like that at future marathons. The music selection in between runs was top notch, using remixes of video game music was a great idea. The layout of the stream was good and the video quality was fantastic.
Cons: The ending of the marathon was a little anticlimactic, the last run was fine but I was hoping to see a better send off like the Contradiction: Spot the Liar! run last year. I also wasn't particularly fond of the panels, I got bored and tuned out but maybe that's just me?
Other than that I don't really have much to complain about, all in all it was a great marathon and definitely my favourite NASA so far. Thanks to all the staff and attendees that made this happen, hopefully I'll be able to make it next year.
That'd just be another memey auto-scroller category like 72 Hour Mode. Because the whole game is on a timer the only way to save time would be to minimize load screens and cutscenes, which doesn't make for a good speedrun. If you want to you could still do an All Psychos run and submit it as 72 Hour but there's no need to have a separate category for it.
That's unfortunate. I guess I'll just stick with UV Max for now then, my last "run" of it was around 30 minutes but I missed a few monsters and never got around to trying it again.
I was thinking about doing runs of each episode on UV Speed and UV Max but was wondering why the M8 time isn't counted for UV Speed but it is for UV Max? The idea of not counting M8 kinda irks me and it not being a consistent rule across all subcategories irks me even more. Might try Doom 2 instead but I'd rather start with a shorter run.
NG+ can be added to 72 Hour Mode if you wanna run it. Zombie Genocider doesn't really need to be NG so I can just allow NG+ runs instead.
Hey, so I was considering running this game but I was looking at the categories and was curious to why each difficulty is it's own category rather than having them as sub categories.
For example, you could have Any%, Any% No Warp and All Story Goals as the main categories and then have Beginner, Normal and Sick as sub categories.
I think this would make the leaderboard look a lot less messy but tell me what you guys think.
Level Max is already a category, although nobody currently runs it.
