OoT / MM 100% back to back race [Date: 12/28/2013]

[thiefbug]

Heyho,
there was once a chat about a Ocarina of Time (100%) / Majoras Mask (100%) Back to Back race.
But ppl only talk about it and I thought it might be better to start a thread, gathering information because lots of ppl are still about to learn and practice the categories.

Because it is a back to back race and we have to calculate a race time of about 13 hours, it should be planned with as many information as possible.

To schedule it most precise it would be the best to have information about every player that wants to participate.

My Suggestion:
Everyone who's interested in the race should (if possible) post on which days / weeks etc he could be able to race in the next months.

Example:
thiefbug - every weekend from november to january
Example 2:
thiefbug - during vacation from 11/02/2013 til 12/08/2013
(both are just examples)

the following list will contain all the interested participants with their given information.
If you are interested please answer, pm me on twitter, twitch or anything like that.

edit:
the race will be restreamed on the ZSR channel by Indextic.

we'll have the mumble server and commentary by the following persons:

OoT:
Cosmo, ZFG, Moltov, GoronGuy, CrazyyInsane, Piticarus

MM:
GoronGuy, VPP, ZFG, Indextic, CrazyyInsane, Jimmie1717

I'll look for a few more to commentate because they will stay for a few hours only. (For example ZFG will join in pretty late, Cosmo will only join when he has time)

Almost done learning MM 100%, haven't played OoT 100% in forever so I'd have a few things to brush up on there too. Does everyone involved have OoT JP 1.0?

I'm definitely interested in this though. Weekends are the only possible time I could do this due to my job. My Saturdays during the Fall (October 19th through December 14th) will almost definitely all be booked. Sundays during those times work but it would have to start at like 10-11 AM EST at the latest so I can wake up the next day and go to work. After that Saturdays may be open depends on stuff like X-mas parties. I don't have a winter break.

Sooo um yeah having a life sucks, haha. Basically Sundays are good.

[GoronGuy]

I doubt this is gonna end up being a really close and fair race though so I'd say just use whatever OoT version you can get your hands on.
That being said VC Injects are obviously still banned.

I am also very interested in joining this, I'm not really too picky about dates and such so I'll just go with whatever works for you guys.

[thiefbug]

@Runnerguy: Winter Break / Vacation time is usually at the end of december so I would suggest a weekend between Xmas and new years eve.
If that doesn't work, we might try to start it earlier on sunday if most of the ppl are okay with it (altho I'm afraid we have to start at a time like that cause the european time is 6 hours ahead)

Considering the Versions - I would prefer to go with the official ZSR rules.
So the only allowed versions would be:
N64 1.0 / 1.1 / 1.2
VC 1.2
Emu 1.2 (PJ64 1.6 cause 1.7 sucks for MM)
(Emu 1.0 [Yes / No]?)
sure, some ppl would have a disadvantage cause of that but personally, going with injects would be even worse (problem about emu 1.0 would be the fact that it is faster, altho no emu player is close to ZFG's or your time)

And the reason for this thread is to get informations like this :p

Okay, so at the moment the time between Xmas and New years would be best I think / hope.

[GoronGuy]

Pretty sure Emu 1.0 is banned since Tokyoboi's 100% times recently got removed

[thiefbug]

yeah but this is a race - which is why I want to ask everyone for their opinion about emu 1.0 considering the race.
because lulz and vince would like to participate but they can't if emu is banned

[GoronGuy]

Dosen't matter if it's a race. EMU 1.0 is banned from ZSR

[cafde]

If emu 1.0 is allowed, then vc 1.0 should be allowed, and neither should be. Just a race or not, it's unfair to use an unofficial version that's faster than any official version.

[thiefbug]

well... I completely forgot that 1.2 emu is allowed xD I'm stupid.

okay, 1.0 / 1.1 emu and 1.0 VC / 1.1 VC are banned then

[Vince]

Alright sure, good to know.

[Qweczol]

Hello all,
Sounds cool would love to join. Weekends on winter break would be good for me.
OoT: Fully learned, haven't had time to do runs, should be sometime soon (I have 1.1 N64-J)
MM: Need to learn

Still a lot of time to learn MM so it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: 12/28 that would be good for me.

[EnNopp112]

I will join this race on 28th of December 

[Frosty]

I'll join the race, I'm free pretty much whenever.

Also, I have
JP 1.0 n64
VC JP 1.2
and can get whatever emulator stuff. Just let me know what version we will be using.

[thiefbug]

sorry for replying so late - didn't expect any more answers xD

You can use whichever version you have / prefer, as long as it is allowed.
Some ppl will use VC 1.2
others will use N64 1.0

it's up to you

Start post is updated (would be nice to know which games you can play already and which you still have to learn)

[Runnerguy2489]

Will it matter which game we play first? Some folks might want to start with their strong game to get some momentum going. Others might want to focus harder on their weak game first, then when tired after playing for a long time have a game they are more familiar with. It might be nice if everyone did the same thing so viewers can tell who is winning as well.

Either way, it doesn't really matter to me what is decided but I figured I would bring up this point of discussion since it seems a date has been picked.
