It would probably be best to submit Any% NG+, as it's the shortest category. I doubt AGDQ will give much time to a less popular/active game like Broforce. Case for inclusion - it was previously at AGDQ 2015 and the game has changed quite a lot since then, and the run has been pretty well optimized over the past year or so.

I'm a relatively short drive from that location, so I can also run/couch. I can try and submit a run once submissions are open, though I'm not sure if they'd accept a run from me, since I'm relatively new to speedrunning and not an regular streamer.

Hi there,

For the GR666 cutscene skip, you can do that consistently by holding the 'fly'/jump button once you get in the mech until you run out of fuel and land - you should always land past the cutscene trigger. If you let go of the button during flight to try to 'increase' the distance (as you might feel is intuitive) you'll end up short. Getting the quick-kill on GR666 is much less consistent (most of my runs end there), but the best strategy I have is to dig straight down, ignoring the boss (aside from making sure he doesn't kill himself/you with missiles/bombs), then push him into the hole once you're done.

For the Rail Fortress zipline clip, it feels pretty easy to do, just get on the zipline and move forward (as if you were climbing up the zipline without jumping or dropping off) - you should just clip through the boss. You have to move a bit quickly getting to the zipline before the boss moves too far up, but you can do the clip on any of the ziplines (including the downward ones) so you can get multiple tries if you're quick.
