Hero mode race around Christmas?

Sounds great. I should get my new capture card by then.

is the race still gonna happen? Sadly my capture card won't be here til the race ;(

We will race. But I'm kinda dreading full game. I've only been working up to harp. Only 2 playthroughs on the rest of the game. Any ideas what segments would be good to time?

Yeah, me too. I've only done 3 playthroughs, and one harp run. Do we have a written route yet to make this a little less daunting?

Well I'll make one tonight, but I won't have time to go all the way through, so I'll just read a couple of shitty walkthroughs and see what I can piece together. Feel free to make your own, mines gonna be shit

I was totally down for this until I reread the title saw the hero mode part haha

I'm gonna need to get some practice in, considering Ghirahim (1) ate me alive while I was messing around on Hero

Really? Just use the shield right before he hits you :/

If it's any consolation I will have played the game only 2 time when this happens, if that. And I haven't really practiced. I'll be happy just for the chance to race!

Not that great for a race, you wanna go as fast as possible. I just have to get better at reading his dash attack thing, he holds his sword different depending what side of you he's going on.

ik what you mean about no shielding then. I just find it better to shield and not die then to screw up your run. You should just watch the best boss battles strats and try to get em with the goddess sword.

if this makes you feel better, i owned Demise and Ghirahim 3 in boss rush in hero mode and i almost died to Ghirahim 1. he's a tricky mofo.

The only thing I don't look forward to when replaying is the Imprisoned fights. They are the most unfun and respectively infuriating fights ever.

at least they're easy  :P

I hope we can wait at least 3 more days. My stationary computer broke the other day, and so did my laptop charger. I'm on my 3ds right now.

I'll get a new charger in 3 days, and I'll try to stream with my laptop.

10am est sounds good for me. As long as it doesn't run into the night of the 31 I will be willing to finish the race no matter what.

for me it must be before the 3rd, because then im getting back into school.

Alright, let’s make this thing official.

December 30, 10 am EST.

This is the time I’ve been passing around on Speed Runs Live and while streaming because it’s currently the only suggestion, but it looks like this will work out well for a lot of people. Let’s make it a big race and it will be great!

Sounds good to me

That's fine for me aswell.
I should be able to finish before the night.

I have a "temporary fix" for my stationary computer now, so I should be able to stream aswell. =)

I'm gonna have to give this a miss after all, new years period is too hectic in our family. If someone wans to do another sometime in Jan I will almost definitely be up for it though. Good luck, guys. :)

I can't join on the race, cause it's too close to Shabbot. But there's no reason we can't have more than one race. I might join if there's also on on the 1st.

Who thinks we should use instant text :D

Dunno if I'll participate in this, I was saying I prolly would earlier but I think I'd rather just wait and see how I'm feeling tomorrow and what kind of turnout this thing actually gets.

I'll be there, shooting for a (terrible) sub-12

I'm expecting sub 10. Hopefully sub 9.

If anyone is interested in vent I will be lurking in: iws.nationvoice.com 3848 password: readabook

Well has it started, for a long run it's convenient to start early and finish at some reasonable bed time isn't it? I thought it would be fine to base the timezone for the race somewhere in the middle of the atlantic. It's 16:12 here as I write, and I'm ready for a night with our green clothed hero.

edit. So far, at the end of Earth Temple, it looks good. Paraxadeand Onlyone are doing a good job.
