12/4 (SPRASHFECTA THIS WEEKEND!!!)

S P R A S H F E C T A ! ! ! (Remind me why I'm doing this shit again?)

So, next weekend starting at 8 AM (and hopefully not 8:30 AM like last year lol), sprashfecta begins! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!! I've been busting ass off stream the past two weeks, and especially the past three days. In case people are wondering, the plan is that holysanctum and I will be in a voice call together (might have it open so anyone can join if they want, might not, we'll see). As for what games I'm playing, how good i feel, when I will probably start, and goals, lets get into it!

Right at 8 AM, I will be starting with Spyro 3. Spyro 3 is my least favorite game in Sprashfecta, and it's by far the longest. Last year during sprashfecta was when I did my first full Spyro 3 117% run. Funny enough, this Sprashfecta will be when I do my second full Spyro 3 117% run. Last year, I got a time of 7:32:00 roughly, which is terrible. This year, my initial goal will be sub 6:30, but I really want a sub 6 hour time in general. I decided to start with this game this time so that I can get the games I'm most worried about/dreading out of the way first. Now, just because I haven't done a full run since last time doesn't mean I haven't practiced. I've done many run of each hub, and right now I can beat Hub 1 in about 1:10:00, hubs 2 and 3 in about 1:35:00 each, and hub 4 in 1:55:00, totaling roughly a 6:15:00.

Given that Spyro 3 will probably take around 6:15:00 then, next up is Crash 1 100% at 2:15 PM. As I'm writing this, I just finished an offline resetless run of Crash 1 100%, and went fairly well until the very end. I was fifteen minutes ahead of my PB nearly the whole time, but after a fire drill cost me 3 minutes (Yep. A fire drill.) and me playing badly the last third of the game, I enter the second to last level, Fumbling in the Dark, 3 minutes behind. I then proceeded to finish the run almost half an hour behind. Yeah, Fumbling in the Dark was bad. But, every other level went fairly well. I even got Slippery Climb First try! Given all of this, my primary goal for Crash 1 will be sub 2:50, but I really want sub 2:30 if I can get it (and I can, my sob is sub 2 lol).

So if I go the middle route and say Crash 1 is about 2:40:00, that puts Spyro 2 at 4:55 PM roughly. Spyro 2 is a weird game in that I don't follow the main speedrun route on account of it requiring many difficult glitches at the beginning (which I simply can't do). My primary goal for this game will be sub 3:45, however sub 3:30 would be awesome! However, the spyro games especially I'm not really sure just how much time I can save, so we'll see how Spyro 2 goes.

Now that we got my troublesome three games out of the way, let's go onto the fun Spyro game! I <3 Spyro 1, and it will probably be the run where I am the happiest. It's very hard for something to go really wrong in Spyro 1, and I just love the game! My goal will be sub 2:50, but a sub 2:35 would be fantastic! However, it's likely I'll be in the 2:40 range. With Spyro 2 taking about 3:40 I'll say, Spyro 1 will probably be at around 8:35 PM

After Spyro 1 is Crash 2. Crash 2 is hard to say. I will have either a really good run, or a really bad run. As such, I'm just hoping for a sub 2:30. However, a sub 2:15 would probably make me the happiest i'll be all night. Crash 2 is a game that I know I can do well in if I can just pull myself together. I have a sob of sub 2, so a pb that's barely sub 2:25 is depressing. I had a run recently that went alright for most of it, but lost it around hub 4. And had a terrible hub 5. Crash 2 will likely be at around 11:10 PM

Finally, Crash 3 105%. Like Crash 2, I'll either be in a really good mood, or I will be in a shit terrible mood. I had a run recently that went alright, except for one relic. However, it turned out I was trying to beat the platinum time, not the gold time (must have copied it down wrong somewhere lol). Crash 3 I want a sub 3:40 run, but in all honesty, I really want like a sub 3:15. Regardless, Crash 3 will be 1:30 AM.

So, in summary

Game		Probable Start Time			Primary Goal		Secondary Goal
Spyro 3 	8:00 AM						6:30:00				6:00:00
Crash 1		2:15 PM						2:50:00				2:30:00
Spyro 2		4:55 PM						3:45:00				3:30:00
Spyro 1		8:35 PM						2:50:00				2:30:00
Crash 2		11:10 PM					2:30:00				2:15:00
Crash 3		1:30 AM						3:40:00				3:15:00

So thats the game plan. If all goees according to plan, Sprashfecta primary goal is sub 24 hours, with a secondary goal of sub 21 hours. (For those who forget, my last Sprashfecta was about 26 and a half hours. I will be doing it with holysanctum as I previously stated, and he seems to think I will beat him this year. If I do, I've decided I will repay the favor and I will stay up with him until he finishes as well. With this being said, here's to a good Sprashfecta! May I wake up on time this year and not come in last place hopefully.
