United StatesNope! Though if you're run is going to be longer than 6 or so hours then we might need to figure something out. Basically, feel free to submit, and your time estimate will not impact your chance of getting accepted at all, but if it's extremely long we might need to chat something out haha. But that's only if its crazy long.
I'm sorry that wasn't clear. It is an online marathon yes
What the heck is this?
Wicked Fast is an online Halloween horror themed speedrun marathon. Horror and horror-themed games are allowed to be submitted. Wicked Fast is also collecting donations for Child's Play.
When the heck it this?
Halloween! The tentative start date is October 28th at noon, but that time is subject to change based on submissions and general interest.
Submissions will close September 29th.
Why the heck is this?
We felt that there was a distinct lack of opportunity for horror game speedrunners to take the spotlight. We noticed that many horror games were performed at odd times during marathons, and we wanted to change that up a bit.
What the heck is Child's Play?
Child's Play is a charity organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in hospitals in the United States and abroad. You can find more information about them here: http://www.childsplaycharity.org/
I Have Questions!
Awesome, please refer to our questions thread and/or join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/8dBvq7d
Ask any questions you have regarding the marathon and/or submitting here!
Finally getting around to editing and publishing my NG+ tutorial series!
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLli960QhWY0zlD4GWKQilhu668VdF0q3Z
Hopefully in the next few weeks or so. I'm currently working on a tutorial series that I'd like to have up before the race so newer players can feel comfortable participating
Hiya, can you change my name to Solaine? Thanks a million!
What time would work best for people cause time zones lol? I can do anytime in the afternoon - night EST (so like from 3pm-2am type thing)
Alright, here's the ¤actual¤ final pretty pitiful attempt. There are many spots I can improve (like not screwing up Virgilio so bad I have to take an extra day) but overall it's a good base to start improving.
Aight, gonna attempt it now, will post the VOD here once I'm done.
We could announce it a few days beforehand on reddit to give people time to train if they want to participate, sort of leave it open to the greater speedrun community
Alright, I basically have a route planned out. Basically play through perfect service route but switch out some drinks:
Give Streaming Chan a Crevice Spike on Day 4 instead of first gut punch Give Alma a Flaming Moai on Day 5 instead of a Bad Touch
Be sure to save Day 17 ROom and Break. After ending and credits, load Day 17 and buy all clutter, play Model Warrior. Load Day 17 Break and give Stella Flaming Moai instead of Bleeding Jane. Also give her a bunch of sugar rushes (but not too many, I keep in the frothy water).
Load up NG+ and Save on Day 2 - buy all music then load day 2 go perfect service to grind money for furniture then when you can afford it (it costs 17600 altogether) buy tables first then wall art then split.
I'm gonna see about some other changes tomorrow and then make an attempt after my roguelike stream tomorrow night.
I figured it out, you have to buy the Meet the Staff
I've nearly routed it out, and I have a route for Model Warrior as well, but when I buy all the songs, I'm still missing two. I never had this problem when playing casually. Does anyone know what's up with this? Are there like, secret songs lol?
Yeah that's happened to me after running it more than once in a row. I typically reset between runs to be safe.
So I did a bunch of testing on this tonight on my stream, and if you keep the route the same as the current Perfect Service Route AND buy the carts and console to play the minigame before paying rent, you wind up about $290 short. I'm currently testing if you can give Ingram enough easy drinks that he actually asks for to mitigate that and I'm about halfway there, but I'm also wondering about just waiting til the NG+ part to buy the console and carts and play the minigame there. There also might be some opportunities to give quick big drinks to people (like a big sunshine cloud to Mario) to get some more cash and buy some more stuff. Will continue to work on the route.
The PS2 runs are just the PSX game begin run on a PS2 right? There's not a magical PS2 version that I can't find?
Would people be interested in doing a NG+ Perfect Service race for this game? I think it would be an enjoyable watch and would potentially bring more people onto this game.
