Many of you probably remember Gwimpage's previous FE10 speedrun for 2015's AGDQ. Well, his latest submission has been accepted, and he'll be speed-running FE9 (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance) in this year's AGDQ.

For those unfamiliar with AGDQ; it is part of the Games Done Quick organization.

Games Done Quick is a series of charity video game marathons. These events feature high-level play by speedrunners raising money for charity. Games Done Quick has teamed up with several charities in its five-year history, such as Doctors Without Borders and the Prevent Cancer Foundation. The most recent event in the series, SGDQ 2015 (Summer Games Done Quick), raised its highest amount to date; over $1.23 million for Doctors Without Borders.

While the event schedule itself is not set in stone, the event dates and locale have been set. Attendee registration is anticipated to be open tomorrow, so should you be able to attend, you totally should. Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 is the next event taking place in January, 2016. The event will be taking place from Jan 3, 2016 - Jan 10, 2016, at the Hilton Dulles Airport Hotel, in Herndon, VA.

For more representation, SF's very own Kirbymastah has been accepted for several speedruns, including Sonic Advance 3 (All Stages) and Metroid Fusion (Any% completion). A complete schedule of included games (Accepted and Rejected) can be found right here.

uh is gwimpage the runner

he told me that dxsteve submitted FE9 as a run for AGDQ

if dxsteve is running it, then the website is incorrect. Gwimpage is listed as the runner.

Woah, I didn't expect AGDQ submissions to be on the front page today. lol Ellieson is on top of everything.

Just to clarify: I'll be running PoR at AGDQ barring some sort of unexpected last minute emergency as the dates get closer. I'm unsure if there was some sort of miscommunication, but DXSteveX is starting to learn how to run FE10 and doesn't intend on going. I probably mixed something up or dondon is malfunctioning since I've mentioned RushinAssassin (he's waitlisted right now) submitting and getting through first cuts before I also submitted.

Sounds cool! I wonder, will he be performing the same strats as in his practice run from last year, or will there be any improvements?

I've re-routed the majority of the game in Japanese to abuse the 255 critical glitch since that old practice run. The game has been improved on by quite a bit and dondon helped out with a number of chapters (Ch28 best strat). I'm super excited to have the opportunity to run again at AGDQ and I'm going to give it my all.

Looking forward to it! Should I be anticipating sub-2 hours then?! I'm sure it will be quite exciting!
