AGDQ 2017 submissions

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Any% and NG+ Any%
Estimate: 2:05:00 (Any%), 1:50:00 (NG+)
ACIT is a pretty chill run of one of the best games in the Ratchet series. Every level has some sort of glitch, clever jump, OoB or a flashy huge skip to bypass large portions of it, while a lot of the boring filler such as the Clank levels are skipped with menuing exploits. NG+ combat is very fast due to clever weapon usage, Any% has precise weapon level manipulation and Zoni routing, and the hoverboots break every planet in half and create a lot of impressive jumps and cool tricks.

Rayman Origins
130 Electoons
Estimate: 2:20:00
130 Electoons basically Any%, but way more interesting. The fast-paced movement from Legends is here, along with the added challenge of precise Lum routing for every stage. All the unnecessary autoscroller levels are skipped, and you get to see a lot more of the game compared to Any%. This game hasn't seen a proper run since SGDQ 2013, which was very outdated. The new routes and strats really progressed the run quite a lot from it's last showing, and it's the perfect time for a comeback to AGDQ.

Taz Wanted
Any%
Estimate: 1:25:00
Taz Wanted is a really cool platformer run. The run is mainly based on the fast and hard-to-control movement using the spin move to get through the open sandbox levels as fast as possible, destroying all 7 signs with clever routing, abusing physics with Taz's spin such as wall climbing or high speeds to cross big gaps, damage boosting, clipping OoB and even playing a game of Pong with an elephant. Every level has precise strats and impressive movement all throughout and makes for a good watch.


Ed, Edd 'n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures
100% and All Scams
Estimate: 1:15:00 (100%), 0:50:00 (All Scams)
EENE any% was a success at SGDQ 2016, and 100% and All Scams show off even more of the game. You get to see the two bonus levels, Ed-Zilla and Rebel Robot Ranch, which have cool new tricks like manipulating AI, cheap boss kill strategies, and using AI Eds as meat shields. All Scams has some slight variations in the regular any% skips to get the required costume pieces, and 100% has lots of collecting as well as intricate money routing and shows off a TON more of every single level.

Ren & Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention
Beat The Game
Estimate: 0:15:00
Last showed off at the AGDQ 2013 Awful block, Stimpy's Invention is a very odd short little sidescroller where you use Ren & Stimpy's tag-team abilities to platform through absolutely ridiculous levels and positively insane obstacles. The run is short, sweet, utterly confusing, and rather difficult to do fast. Killer giraffes, fart-propelled platforming, gluteus maximus martial arts, horses driving cars, BEAVER POWER™, homicidal firemen, logs, and POWDERED TOAST MAN!!! What's not to love?
