To my mind, I think we should add it, 100% completion is nearly in every speedruns now. There always was a "all character" category in every game so far. So why not Repentance ? Moreover, it could be a motivation for some crazy dudes and Dea1h just put a first milestone on that.

And another 40 euros wasted here :(

Well let's do it while it's warm ! It was my first time as a volunteer, i was at the Event Support & Administration, it was an awesome experience thanks to Panda and Pottoww !

++ The venue : Once again, the venue was great. Having all of this stuff (icecream, popcorn and coffee) in add with ESA is always a major + ++ The people : Maybe because i was a volunteer, or because i begin to be used to ESA, I find all of the people at ESA really kind this year, it was always a pleasure to deal with them ! ++ Stream 2 : Definitely worth it ! ++ The chat : The chat on Twitch was pretty smooth and very lovely, which is a great performance when you have nearly 20k viewers !

• Main Stream room : I adore the layout used for ESA Winter 2020, i find it really interesting to run on a computer or a console while watching the stream background. Definitely a good addition here !

• Intermissions : There are not enough intermissions, sometimes you can have the same intermission twice in a day. And to be frank, all of the intermessions were not explaining glitches at all ... -- Why are people leaving their trash that often ? I was used to clean the room on night shift at the infodesk and the last night was pretty terrible. Just clean your place please for the next time ! ---------------------------------------------- ESA doesn't last as long as expected ;P

Definitely a great edition. I might come to ESA Summer 2020 even if i'm not 100% sure yet :(

Love for all of you <3

So here we are, ESA was one of the greatest moment of the year once again. It was my 3rd time attending this year and it was probably my best ESA so far.

++ Every runners were really cool to hang around with, I just met some really cool people this year and it was a pleasure to catch some old friends too :D ++ The venue, once again the hotel was a good place for ESA, big shoutouts to them ! And can't wait for free ice-cream next year Kappa ++ Games selection on both stream. Some good discoveries, and some classics, it was really enjoyable to watch both streams ;D ++ Sunshine relay race : Everyone has train his shine, it was really enjoyable to watch :D ++ Speedgaming : Nice addition to ESA, Feasel has done a wonderful work by making all of these tournaments, it was quite chilly for us to play here. Really hope to have a chance to do it again next year !

• Joining stream 1 and stream 2 in the same room. I was a bit worried about this at the beginning of the marathon, but it was pretty okay after all. Especially when two games were interesting at the same time, audio wasn't an issue at all most of the time.
• Videos during setup : they were really cool to watch :)
• Arcade Room : Really enjoyable in general

• Street Boyz near stream 1 : I don't have a grudge against meme games, but why was it there at the beginning of the marathon ? I mean, i remember at a time that i heard Street Boyz's crew more than the stream. Moving to the hall of 1st floor was a good idea then -- PC room : Maybe my biggest disappointment this year, it was really hard to find a free spot this year. I don't remember the exact number of computer but it was definitly not enough.

Once again, i had a really good time this year at ESA. Can't wait to see you all next year <3

Hey ESA this year was really a masterpiece in all speedruns events I attendee so far. For feedbacks here is my list :

++ The venue. Quality Hotel View was really an awesome place for this event. With some surprises at some times :). As a venue it was definitely a A++ ++ The runners : everyone was really cool at the event. Feels like a family. ESAids already strike for me bro :(

• The game list : really a good one. Didn't here of some games before and it was a surprise on Stream some times and it happened to be good games always
• Tech crew : shotout to them. All of you did great jobs :)
• the room : it was really enjoyable to have this arrangerement of rooms. The quiet room was a thing too. Maybe you should put headsets on this room tho to be really in a quiet mood only with the game :)
• the location : the train station nearby was really good. Same goes for Emporia and Max :p
• you can see stream 1 directly in your room (but why not stream 2?)

• maybe some couch on Stream 1 room could be a good thing. Chairs were not that good if you sit down for 3+ hours
• the 70 stars relay race was definitely an awesome thing but it was too bad that some people messed that much during the race. It kills a bit the hype at the end especially -- quick n crash was fucking too loud bro D: I will probably have nightmare of this D:

It was really an awesome event overall. Can't wait to be part of ESA 19 :)

My thoughts are (in order) : 7 char (main category), 11 char (rebirth one), 14 char (I don't see why we must include a 13 char since Apollyon is a pretty good and a non troll charac) and add a 1 char run, because it's fun and pretty interesting. By the way, I think we can add a category with the dark room, some runners made an attempt on afterbirth so why not add it ?

I've got an over idea with the victory lap, maybe we can do a category like : "finish the game 5/10 times with the victory lap tool ?"

And for boosters, let's just add the version we run the game :)

Hey :)

As an attendee, I find this event amazing. So there is my recap :

11/10 :

• Runners and atmoshpere : Everyone in ESA was really cool and I really enjoyed talking to people and other runners. I've discovered many things and everyone was really happy to talk about speedruns with me.

• Shop inside ESA : Very cool people. Cheap prices. Don't change that (maybe more choice of meals but that's all)

• The arena itself : Very big place. We have place so that's cool.

• Staff Members : Always nice with us even in hard times. I really appreciate this

5/10 :

• Streaming inside ESA : I think that 2 TVs are not enough for us to watch cool runs. Better with a projector maybe ?

• Donation tracker : This is a good thing to see donations directly on streams, but there were several bugs with that unfortunately

0/10 :

• Not enough chairs : We always need to grab some chairs to watch someone playing, or even to play ourselves.

I don't really see what to say more. It was really a good event and my first time attending it. I will definitly come back, maybe with some friends ;)

For Isaac, I will only bring my USB stick for 1001% save. The game is quickly downloadable (Of course, I'll take my keyboard, controller etc.)

HeyGuys

I post here to give you some news :)

I continue my train with The Lost, I just PB on a big french meeting in front of an exciting crowd Keepo (so my estimate is still 30 minutes ^^)

And I PB on SASRT two weeks ago, I made a 1:30:26 (You can find it here : http://www.speedrun.com/run/pm3lld4m)

It's a PB month I think Kreygasm

HeyGuys

I currently run the any% no gravi skip category, is there a way to add this category into the leaderboard ?

Hi everyone !

As of my submissions, I train a lot my Isaac (The Lost) and VVVVVV run for a big french meeting. Unfortunately I can't train Sonic ASRT run for now. I will train it a lot during june if my submission gets in :) (I got a 1h31 a month ago by the way ;))

Don't hesitate to ask me if you have more questions ;)

Thanks for accepting my Isaac run ! :D <3

To my mind, we should include lilith in the 11 Charac. So you can made 4 main categories. 1 char, 7 char with vanilla characters, 11 char with Rebirth's stuff + Lilith - The Lost. And an all charac category too.

I don't try the keeper for now, so I don't really know how shitty he could be. But the Lost was shitty too in Rebirth right ?

I think we could make another category too, the rebirth's 11 char. With that, every request should be fulfil

Done :)

I make two categories for this game as you ask me

Hum yeah I'm kinda agree with you. An ending is an ending Keepo

Good job

IGT is not legit to count a run, so for me, nop, without video you can't. Sorry dude

Because 11 Chars runner make 7 and 10 char speedrun with this setup.

By the way, with a good Judas' Shadow the lost is not that complicated

There is some guides on the left side of the page.

You can find all the starters here ;)
