TimeShift TimeShift is about manipulating time to become a super soldier and stop a doctor from ruling the world. From the moment you get your gun, you immediately break the game through a series of grenade jumps, object flings, and out of bounds walks. Every level in the game has a skip of some kind with some beaten almost instantly. Also, any fall damage can be negated through a save/loading glitch so falling isn't a problem! Status: Accept

Tintin In Tibet Tintin in Tibet is a classic awful french game. It looks great but is very difficult and not very intuitive. Obstacles are hard to read and the collision are also pretty bad. It's probably the most famous license game from Infogrames (the french ljn) which was used to adapting belgian comic books into games (lucky luke, the smurfs, spirou etc.). It's the kind of game you want as a kid because it looks nice and immediately regret asking for once you start playing it.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Chaos Theory is a lot of people's favorite Splinter Cell game. The glitches that are used in this game don't feel game breaking which is something that some viewers (and runners) appreciate about this speedrun.

There is a lot of AI manipulation and fast equipment management going on in this game. The levels allow for multiple routes, so seeing which routes are taken in the speedrun already makes for an entertaining watch.

Instead of getting all 8 badges and beating the Elite Four, we simply walk straight into the Hall of Fame through a series of bizarre glitches. We tweak in and out of unloaded zones with very precise movement to warp to the end of the game. Its a great showing that allows us to show the weirdness of Diamond/Pearl in both the normal gameplay portion and the wild glitch portion, while being one of the shortest Pokemon speedruns!

If hit in a certain matter, Yyu can be nearly juggled to death instantly (ex 6:50). Ryu attacks with his sword mostly, while being able to pick up a few sub weapons with ammo(called force) that are very useful against all bosses.

Panic Restaurant Highlight from the later NES era. Meet Cookie, the chef, who tries to rescue his restaurant when it gets overtaken by sentient food and his rival Ohdove.

Fun platforming is combined with neat speed tech, where we try to make certain tight cycles or reduce lag by hitting enemies and picking up coins.

The US version has a few differences from the JP one (like item placement), but most importantly: here our chef sports a fancy moustache.

Dead Space (2023) This 2023 remake of the 2008 classic perfectly captures what made the original so good, while also improving on almost every aspect of the game. Be ready for some cool movement tech, cutscene skips, and boxes...a lot of boxes. Status: Accept

Diablo (1996) Diablo(1996) is one of the foundations of the RPG’s we know today. Diablo carries heavy nostalgia, and will likely garner major interest at this years AGDQ as it did at AGDQ2016/18. Fastest of the series and very well paced, Diablo has glitches both old and new that even veterans may not know. Diablo offers incentives such as customized character audio and names!

Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers All Zones showcases each of the eleven levels in this fast paced classic platformer! Co-op exploits many time saving tactics that are not available in single player runs. They include a secret menu that can only be accessed by a frame perfect input, clipping through objects, four zips, and 22 death abuses, some of which save massive amounts of time by skipping long sequences. I will be playing as Chip and Sinister1 will be playing as Dale. We are WR holders for all co-op Status: Accept

Contrast This Contrast run features a new skip!

Any% lets us ignore any collectables that are out in the world and we begin our journey through the city with an immediate out of bounds across the map. This run displays many different types of out of bounds tech, movement tech and manipulation using dash-jumping, puzzle solving/skipping, and a daunting "blind" section only using audio and "feel" to get through.

Celeste Strawberry Jam Collab The Strawberry Jam collab is the largest and highest quality Celeste mod ever created, being the culmination of over 2 years of work from the community. The beginner lobby is the easiest and least restrictive of the 5 difficulty lobbies, allowing for many flashy tricks and skips throughout. A full lobby run consists of first completing the 21 levels within it, all having their own unique gimmicks. It ends at the Heartside, which combines aspects of every previous level into one climactic finale. Status: Accept

Brilliant Bob There's a lot of things you could say about Brilliant Bob: It has an amazing story. It has exquisite level design. It has a large fan base that care about the game. Imean, those are all false, but you COULD say these things. Bob is quite a wacky run consisting of very difficult platforming and full of zoomies across the map. As lame as this game truly is to play, it is a great watch and I would love to show off just how bizarre of a speedgame this is. Status: Accept

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk This is intended to be a bonus run/incentive for any of the BRC Any% submissions.
Score Attack gives the runner 10 minutes to rack up the highest total trick score possible. BRC makes combo hunting interesting by forcing the player to interact with different parts of the map to build their multiplier. This allows for a ton of freedom of expression both in trick style and route selection.

Beetlejuice With the announcement of Beetlejuice 2 opening in theaters in 2024, the "Ghost with the Most" has been the talk of the town once again. Many have played the NES game & many may also be shocked to see just how fast this game can be beaten despite some of its JANK (it's a LJN game after all!). This game features some really fun tech & interesting skips to showcase - all within a short timeframe. We'll try our best not to say his name 3 times during the program, no promises though.

Bayonetta This run is full of new and optimized strats for bosses, routing, technique usages, weapon usages, fight skips, and a different playable character.

I play as Jeanne instead of Bayonetta since she is a more aggressive character who can deal more damage and has more movement options avaliable to her.

All strats and skips are optimized and very consistent with backup strats as well. There is no "losing a run"

All RNG is where enemies spawn in durin combat and what attacks they choose.

Astalon Tears of the Earth Astalon Tears of the earth is a metroidvania taking place in a large castle. The black knight mode is an extra mode where you play as the main villain and tasked with traversing the castle and beating the 3 main bosses and the final boss. The black knight himself is given a very fast move speed and a tall jump height that lets him breeze through the castle, skipping puzzles and zooming through rooms straight to the bosses.

Bad Dudes Be a bad enough dude to rescue the president from ninjas! This is a side scrolling brawler with lots of hopping around, drinking coke, and of course beating up ninjas. The speedrun features some impressive quick kills for the various bosses as well. I toppled a 10 year old world record in this category at the start of 2023.

Batman: Arkham City Any% is the classic. Zips, cancels, jumps, generally exploiting Batman's most busted gadgets.

NG+ w/Cat allows you to skip most of the game but requires clever routing and a unique skip to avoid a softlock.

Glitchless still manages to plow through the game shockingly quickly even without glitches.

100% is a beast of a category with 12 side missions and 400 things to pick up, scan, or break, but with careful planning it goes pretty fast.

Arkanoid Arkanoid is a "Breakout" style game based on the arcade game of the same name, and is known for its high difficulty and the insane speeds that the bouncing balls can reach if given the chance. Manipulations of power-up spawns are also possible to save time in stage clears, but they are incredibly difficult due to the exact movements required to pull them off.

30XX 30XX is an action-platformer roguelite inspired by games like Mega Man X4 and Mega Man Zero. The Escape+ (NG+) category lets us take a strategic selection of additional power-ups with us into our run to ensure Nina ("X") stays as powerful as the bosses she'll face along the way.
As I navigate the run I'll be making multiple split-second decisions to select a "build" of power-ups and equipment which complement one another, while also navigating randomly generated levels as nimbly as possible.
