Triple M was a thing

Wow that happened.  All of us are insane.  This whole thing was a lot of fun and I'm glad I tested myself to actually stay awake long enough to do this.  I'm mostly happy to have finished, and glad my estimates weren't too far off.

Uuuh...Times

MM1 24:58
RM2 31:35 (+14s on PB)
MM3 39:18
MM4 41:25 (+57s)
MM5 41:45 (+25s)
MM6 40:21
MM7 54:35 (second sub 58)
RM&F 01:04:24 (-3s on (now old) PB)
MM8 57:35
MM9 42:25
MM10 48:16

I missed the MM1 Wily 3 baby zip.  Mega Man 6 obviously got a little sloppy.  I happy I kept up with Orrsa through the NES era, and that I played my strongest games (outside the 8s) well.  Apparently I need to PB in RM2 because I didn't go for any Wily zips, didn't save any crash bombs for Wily Machine, and still was only 14 seconds off.

The SNES games are where I really started to fall behind but I played well for what I know.  MM7 is a game I want to get better at and, you know, stop dying to Bust Man.  Mega Man 8's time was a little slow but I didn't really practice it at all.  All in all I'm happy with what I did

MMX1 44:42 (100%)
MMX2 48:00 (ow)
MMX3 56:13 (PB)
MMX4 1:06:25
MMX5 1:27:39 (-15:57 RTA PB*)
MMX6 1:23:07
MMX7 2:00:40 (PB)
MMX8 1:08:57

This actually went well for me. The worst of it - MMX2 had a bad CH2 where I couldn't get under the platforms twice, and MMX6 Sigma wouldn't cooperate with me for a while.  The MMX3 any% PB was nice.  MMX4 was the roughly 3 minute PB over my 100% time that I expected by dropping 100% from my requirements and not revisiting a level.  MMX5 was a huge RTA PB because I haven't gone back to formalize the time save I knew I had from a practice run that didn't finish.

MMZ1 1:25:58 (PB)
MMZ2 1:42:27
MMZ3 1:36:16 (PB)
MMZ4 1:24:00 ish

When I was starting to practice, I was figuring on 2 hours per Zero game.  I might not have the best times in the world here, but I'm pretty happy with how this worked out.  Zero 2 I need to learn that last drop off a ladder so I don't hit the Spikes and lose even more PBs there, but otherwise Zero 2 and 3 were pretty awesome.  There was more than one instance of "Wait I got an EX Skill?" and "WHAT IS THIS ATTACK?!" because I actually held onto A Rank (whether I was supposed to or not).  Thank you everyone who was watching for pushing me through Zero 4.

I mean....this was awesome.  It was fun to watch.  Shout outs to KylePrecise's restream that I didn't get to watch much of but ended up fake-commentating for.  Shout outs to Tonic for organizing, Orrsa for being a beast and winning the whole thing, UsedPizza and Trogdor for also being beasts and that amazing 7 seconds of separation, Infinite Mystery for again being the Iron Man of gaming, ShadowOzzy and Eldra for giving it their all.  It's a damn shame we couldn't get CrakAttack on race day, I wanted to see how he did on run #2.

This was a lot of fun and I will probably do another big dumb race again one day :)  These things are always fun for the community.  In conclusion I'm bad at speeches.  Thanks everyone!
