2016 Speedrun Goals

I'm not sure how many hard and fast time goals I'm going to set this year, as a lot of the ones I set last year seemed a little arbitrary, so if there's no actual time there, just assume I'm going for something resembling a decent run. These are sort of in order of importance, but not really, I'll likely jump around to whatever I feel like learning next.

JAPANESE TARCHAN

SMB3 Warpless - With the tournament happening, I'm definitely going to be practicing and running this category a lot, but I'm not sure exactly where I want to set a goal atm. My time can improve for sure, but I don't know how low I want and try to grind it.

SMB3 100% - I might work a little more on 100% as well, my time right now is OK, but definitely could improve.

JAPANESE TARCHAN

SMW No Cape No Starworld - This is gonna be the first category I'm going to learn for SMW, I'd like to shoot for something like a sub 40, maybe lower if I reach that goal quickly.

SMW No Starworld - I enjoyed doing this category for the tourney last year, so I might look into this category a bit as well. Might try to get like a 36:XX or 35:XX

SMW 96 Exit - Really have no idea what kind of time I'd like to go for in this category, but I would like to get at least halfway competent and the strategies for it so that I don't get upset by the end of a run lol

JAPANESE TARCHAN

Banjo-Tooie Any% - Gonna leave this goal from last year, sub 50. That's not a very substantial goal, but it seems like every time I start getting into Tooie, something else pops up and I get torn away from it again. Honestly I'd just like to focus on this game for a while sometime this year.

Banjo-Tooie no DCW - Same goal again. Same reasons again.

JAPANESE TARCHAN

Castle of Illusion HD 100% - Not a lot of people run this category, especially compared to Any%, but I think this would be quite a fun category to learn. No idea of what a really solid time in this category would be, but at least under an hour.

JAPANESE TARCHAN

Learning A Zelda Game - Right now, I think my 3 top choices would be A) Zelda 1 since I enjoy randomizers quite a bit and have already learned some of the tricks of the game from that, B) LTTP, as I liked Master Sword and enjoy watching speedruns of that game quite a bit or C) Trying Seasons again, I didn't hate learning that game, just couldn't find a way to practice it where I felt like I was making progress.

JAPANESE TARCHAN

Mega Man 6 - I'd still like to learn this game, never got around to it in 2015. Maybe if/when there's another 12 Hour Challenge I'll pick this game.

JAPANESE TARCHAN

Time Diver: Eon Man - Auth bopped me pretty good, but showed me a couple strats that I didn't think of originally, and watching him made me wanna go back even if he hadn't beaten my time. I think sub 16:30 is pretty doable, so I might make my goal something around that.

Ok for realsies tho JAPANESE TARCHAN - I promised this would be the hot new meme game 2016, and I'll deliver. This game is so crazy and zany, but it's also pretty fun to play. I'd like to get the run to the point where I could submit it for marathons, (Memeathon 3, SGDQ Silly Block, etc.) since it's just a hilarious game to see if you've never experienced it before.

I'm sure other things will pop up; there's been suggestions for other games or thoughts I've had in my own mind about different games, but for now these are the goals that I'd like to actually devote some time to in 2016.
