I'm mainly up for some of the smaller games getting run. Iji getting added is a surprise (but a pleasant one), the Cloudbuilt run should be absolutely nuts given how fast that game can get, and Snapshot's mechanics all seem to be designed for people to find the goofiest (and finickiest) shortcuts ever. That and there are a couple of runs that I don't think will ever get old for me, like Blast Corps or blindfolded Punch-Out.
And someone's running Lagoon? Ugh.
Can we please get Ys games into these events already please? I don't think they've ever been featured :X
They've been submitted multiple times, but it's never accepted and the main issue is how long it would take. Felghana takes a bit over two hours and Origin can be just under three (depending on the character), which is a lot of time for a single game. There really aren't many games on the schedule that are allocated more than 90 minutes (and most of the ones that are tend to be classic Nintendo games). That and for some events, there may just be no one who is able to run them at an acceptable pace.
Honestly, the lack of a cutscene skip really hurts those games. You could probably finish Felghana in under 90 minutes if you could just cancel all of the cutscenes in the game, but it's something the series has never had (even Celceta just lets you fast forward through them, not skip them outright -- and that game and 7 are way too long to ever be considered).
SM race not happening? wut
If it was a reverse bosses Super Metroid run, that race would probably end in tragedy as it's really easy to take an L in that run. The solo run is probably going to have a couple of safety saves, due to how frequently runners wipe out in that category (especially early on).
