Gelderland, NetherlandsPersonally I usually just run races or no-reset runs mostly. You tend to be able to get pretty good times just from that already (feel free to join the discord btw (https://discord.gg/utGprnY)) and join in on those. Other then that, compare against average splits or just turn comparison off. Dont let splits discourage you too much as FF1 can just swing any way from time to time so splits dont really say too much generally.
The date and time From : 24th of February – 19:00 CET Till : 26th of February – 19:00 CET (and then afterparty/cleanup till 20:00/22:00)

For NES the run feasel and gyre did is probably the closest you'll get. All of the other versions of the game are pretty well documented, but NES is not (mostly because very few people run the NES version). Either use their run as a basis or ask one of them directly, they might be able to help you out.
Lufia 4 between my 2nd and 3rd run. Wouldve been more if I finished my 1st run, but had to give up that run as it was going well over 16 hours. The improvement was from a 13:38:30 to a 10:52:22. Close to 3 hour improvement. Cut another 2 hours since then (now at a 8:54)

Its already known to save time. The only reason most runners dont actually do it is because it means only 1 in every 6 runs on average will get beyond pirates just on that. This means a lot of resetting, first of all to get a good early game (which quite a few top runners already reset over) and then on top of that only getting 1 in every 6 runs beyond that 6:30 point anyway.
To give a bit of backstory, back when crono was grinding for WR he would reset over good menu/ good garland/good pirates to begin with. This would mean that it'd take him about 30 minutes to get a run going. If he had gone for 15, that would have multiplied by 6, meaning one run every 3 hours.
Tldr; yes it saves time, we know that. Feel free to go for it, just know that its a 1/6 drop and by 2 times it doesnt save time anymore.
3 days left till submissions close, so if you still want to submit, get the submissions in now :D
Who are we? We are the Benelux Speedrunner Gathering. A small yet dedicated group of speedrunners from in and around the Netherlands. We hold monthly weekend-long marathons as a meetup for speedrunners, as well as to raise money for the Dutch Cancer Society.
Our intention with BSG annual Our intention is to have a weeklong annual BSG event in August in the Netherlands. We are currently looking at the end of August, depending ofcourse on ESA and SGDQ. As such we are currently gathering interest for this event. Keep in mind that although we are called the Benelux Speedrunner Gathering, we are very open to have runners and viewers from across the world, the name indicates location and initial focus only.
Interest form Through an interest form we would like to get an idea of how many people would be interested in attending this event so we can get an idea of the size of the venue we need. https://goo.gl/forms/yybG8NdmMTeJkn2V2

Having run and commentated my run in about a dozen marathons I'd like to self-commentate my run. It'd honestly feel weird if I wasnt.

If at all possible, we would like the runners to batch submit all their runs at once. That said we will not enforce this as a policy; you can still add games as an afterthought, just make sure to keep it at a max of 5 runs.
Submissions will close on August 24th (midnight CEST, transistion of Wednesday to Thursday). You can view current submissions here: https://goo.gl/fdW8fX

In no particulair order:
Lufia 2; for the savior FF1; Sunken Shrine Lufia 4; Gratze Battle Theme FF4; Theme of love Lufia 2; Fortress of Doom
Lufia 2 Iris%; 20:28:00 (longest due to randomness) Final Fantasy Full Bestiary; 11:33:11 (longest category that is actually long) Lufia 4 Any%; 8:56:59 (longest Any% in terms of WR. DQIX is slightly longer but WR is slightly shorter atm)
All 3 times are current WR times (Though on Iris% and Lufia 4 I've been on pace for better).
I guess I might as well ask, would it be possible to change "crrool" to "Crrool". I didnt realise when making the account the first character wouldnt default get capitolized :3
Thats what this thread is for: http://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/63nr7/73
Assuming you run the game and would like to take over the moderation ofcourse
I would recommend Final Fantasy 1 if you wanna try getting into RPG speedruns. The PSP version is a very easy run to get down, takes less then a day to learn. PSP emu works pretty well luckily (as I'd imagine most people dont have PSP cap) so feel free to contact anyone in the FF1 community if you're interested
