Hi there, I would like to know what appearances DMC games have in Marathon events. I usually find marathon runs to be a lot more informative about the game, that's due to the fact that most speedrunners doesn't want to keep explaining what they're doing every single attempt and I don't blame them, no one wants to explain the same thing a hundred times.
That said, personally I think that every game/series should have a topic containing all marathon runs for reference. Of course that's no feasible in the foreseeable future, but hey, we have to start somewhere, right?
So then, I'm only aware of 5 marathon appearances of DMC games:
Devil May Cry - AGDQ 2011 - Dante NG+ Dante Must Die (Not so sure about the category, current leaderboard don't seem to include a NG+ categories, if someone can help me with that I would be grateful)
Devil May Cry - AGDQ 2012 - Dante NG+ Dante Must Die (same as above)
Devil May Cry 3 - AGDQ 2013 - Dante NG+ Very Hard (awful run as far as I'm aware)
DmC: Devil May Cry - ESA 2015 - NG+ Heaven or Hell Glitched
Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition - AGDQ 2016 - Virgil NG Devil Hunter
So, if you're aware of any other appearance of any DMC game in a marathon, fell free to post here.
A few things I would like to say/question:
1 - I just wanted to point out that Bus Depot and Farm have no PaP Machine, so there's no need for that category.
2 - Also, when I select Tranzit - Solo it still shows the EE categories even tho it's impossible to do those with less than 2 players, wouldn't be better if it didn't show that at all?
3- On a similar note, when I select Tranzit - Solo, the EE categories doesn't have a "(empty)" marker even tho they have no runs, that's due to the fact that there is runs for those categories with more than a single player, is there a way around that? I mean, is a little annoying to select Buried - Solo, see the Round 30 category without a (empty) marker just to click it and found it to be empty.
4 - Also, why Tranzit is the only map that has separate categories for Maxis and Richtofen? Lack of demand perhaps?
5 - BTW, there's a typo on Maxis's EE category on Tranzit, it appears as "Enging" instead of "Ending".
6 - Would be fun to see a category in which the player had to complete all three Richtofen EEs or all three Maxis EEs in a row in order to activate the final ending in Buried, but I guess that until someone does that, there's no reason for a new category.
