Hero mode race around Christmas?

I was wondering if anybody wanted to do a big streamed hero mode race (via http://speedrunslive.com) around christmas / new years. not sure exactly what day or time but this obviously needs a bit of planning because the game itself takes all day to play through.

Let me know if you're interested in participating and if you have a suggestion for the day and time that would be good as well

I may be able to join. Totally depends on the timezone because the game is so long.
I will also not be able to participate through SRL for obvious reasons, so if I join, it will be unofficially I guess. I do not really care about a rating anyway.

Also, I want to suggest some small races in the future, much like lets say 3 spiritual stones in OoT.
Like, getting to the harp in Skyward sword maybe? That is 3 dungeons. Not to long, not to short. We miss out on most of the fun though. :p

Maybe even provide save files to each other so that we can start a race at a specific point.

This would all allow us to race without having to play through the entire game all the time. it is quite big right now.

I'm definitely in.

That's around the time I plan on getting serious about running SS. I'm in.

ya I'm down
I'm not that good tho

I will have already done an SS run hopefully by then for some 4/48 (now 5/48) I guess. I might join in.

A few people have already done test runs.
I've done a few test runs (not the entire game at once though), usually to the harp.
Then I do a separate run from the harp to the song part collecting.
I've never done a run of the song part collecting, or anything after that. :|

I've been planning to start a segmented run for a while now, but seeing as we're currently having momentum in finding timesavers, I'll probably wait a while.
The run is not to be taken to seriously though. It'll be more like a decent playthrough using all tricks available without any big mistakes.

Anyway, which timezone is the majority of people in? I may not be able to join if the timezone is to messed up. :p

A lot of tests and shit is coming up in the next few weeks. I'd recommend that we do it after christmas instead of before. And hopefully we set up the race for GMT or something. xD

I'm in. I'll visit the page again soon in hope for dates and timezone information. but Christmas time is when they like to give shitload of work to do at school! :( I'll try as hard as i can to be in though because it sounds fun

GMT+10 here, not really fussed about hours though, can be up whenever as long as there's some notice.
Would prefer closer to new year's than christmas honestly.

cloudmax if you can stream im sure that would be fine

I've always streamed ever since I got banned, since I know that there is people out there that doesn't trust me now, for obvious reasons.
It was that ban that made me start in the first place, I didn't stream before that.

So, streaming should not be a problem for me, ever. And if I can't stream (may happen, since I share the easycap with my brother), I'll just stay out, I do not want to get in any more trouble.

More towards New Years would be better for me. I would be able to do it and stream if it is after the 28 or so. Would we all get in vent or something during the race?

I would probably be up for it, especially now that I have streaming capabilities. I am currently going through the game for the second time (on a hero mode file) I will try to go through it as much as I can before then to get completely at home in all the areas of the game, so that I may have a fighting chance ;).

im down if i end up getting the game by then

I'm considering actually competing in this even though I've never raced before. May even pull out my old streaming hardware which I haven't used in age.

Even if I make it to be able to play around christmas I could not stream. Could I still join? (I'd still be recording indirectly).

i'd love to join the race if its possible.
im able to stream.
and if yes, what do i have to do to join?

Any word on when this is gonna be?

around christmas?

my capture card finally showed up from amazon today, so if this happens I'm in. Maybe this time I'll even finish...

Just an update, I will be out of town until mid-day the 29th. I should be able to play the 29th though.

Yeah I'll try to join this. Been awhile since I used my capture card. First live stream too. So this is going to be a full hero mode any%?

Also, anyone wanna do a small race a bit sooner? I wanna get some practice streaming.

I will do a few harps runs later this week to make sure my stream and everything works. Do you have steam or any times that work best for you?

I may be able to later this week. I've gotta get my other computer up first.

I would be up for a short race later this week providing my laptop gets back from hospital by then.

If this thing is gonna happen, we should start planning it soon. I'm in Central time.

Eastern.

I am Eastern as well. If you need to wait until later this week for the short race then I will not be able to join because I am leaving tomorrow until mid next week.

I have therapy, but I'll get back around 8 Central time. I may be able to race after that, depends on how my parents feel...

How does the 30th work or the big hero any%? We could start it as early as 10EST and it wouldn't be too bad for the PST players like myself.
