Well, if I'm offline, there is a high chance that I'm on other twitch channels! and I'm also on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/legrandrunner) where you will be aware of what I'm doing right now or the next few days :P

Xenoblade

Panel Content
Awesome RPG on the Wii with a really complex fight system, an enormous universe and stuff to do, which gives it a really long lifetime. But thanks to awesome tricks we can farm lvl ups pretty fast and beat the game in ~6hours. [Here](http://bombch.us/BD3L) is the route for NG speedruns. Also running NG+, less challenging but probably still a bit interesting. NG: Current aim: sub 5h Not appearing in my PB list is Xenoblade 100%! I worked on it on the whole second half of 2017 anddid a run in Jan 2018, with a final RTA time of [25:36:53](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/220219453) !

Xenoblade Chronicles X

Panel Content
The massive game that lets you explore the foreign planet Mira. A massive game, with some cool mechas and quite deep mechanisms... So deep that it allows some pretty crazy strats - farm and DPS wise - once you are set up, which allows to utterly destroy your enemies, as log as you know what you are doing. Online Aim: Sub 4h Online

Golden Sun

Panel Content
Great RPG and a great run. Besides the 40 minutes intro, the run abuse of glitches, allowing big skips and OoB, as well as RNG manipulation which makes most of the fight really easy. I'm going to run the 100% of the game, which means getting all the djinns. All Djinn Aim: sub 4 hours

Fire Emblem 6 (Fuuin no Tsurugi)

Panel Content
First GBA FE that never left Japan. It's also the longest and the hardest, casually but also in terms of speedrun. Once again, RNG manipulation is possible here, and that make the run REALLY sick and cool! The only thing is that learning that is super hard The All Chapters route is available [here](https://goo.gl/7XoJHA) ! Would like to thanks Dondon and his [multi seg test run](http://www.youtube.com/user/dondonSDA/videos), even if it's not finished, for making me running this game!

Fire Emblem

Panel Content
GBA Fire Emblem speedrun is really cool, since we know how to manipulate RNG to get the fastest strats and the best level up. Very cool to watch,as the only thing that matter for this run is now menu execution. A new route was created since I did my PB that saves ~6 minutes. Aim: sub 1:15 Game is fully routed in english [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Th3EDOXZ5h76XrO-t3wlJSPmuWUJbBvYmmWYFRx_sNc/edit)

Pandora's Tower

Panel Content
An awesome Wii dungeon crawler, with some really good mechanism. The speedrun is really interesting since you are free to skip 90% of the fights, making you only fight bosses. You end up really fast underlevel, and you can die in 2-3 hits. Pretty challenging run!

Advance Wars

Panel Content
Very interessting alternative to Fire Emblem speedrun. There's no fast movement strats but some genuinely fantastic strats to clear missions. The two last chapters are quite the RNG fest as well so you need to figure out strats on the spot. Good short speedrun.

Tales of Symphonia

Panel Content
This game, even if it's a J-RPG, is really demanding in term of skill, because of a lot of fighting techniques and strats. Cool game, cool run, enjoy! I'm going to do at least 1 run every week end. If you are interested in this the route is [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dzYAF1hXol0nBGFrn7QxdsmoVoxJfR-2A6TCgjsUmAU/edit#heading=h.b9zsb3o8k63v) Aim: sub 7:20

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE

Panel Content
Ever dreamed of an RPG fuelled with idol culture? This game is for you. Pretty hard RPG on the Wii U with Fire Emblem references made by Atlus. The speedrun, even if long is very cool and features some fantastic strats. Really cool run to do.

Zelda Minish Cap

Panel Content
Minish Cap is a rather fun game and a quite interesting speedrun, with some cool dungeon breaking glitches. Not running it as seriously as my other speedgames, just doing it for fun. I'm also running 100% of the game! Includes all kinstones fusion and all figurines, pretty cool run... and also quite hard! Aim: sub 4h15

Zelda: Four Swords

Panel Content
The most underrated Zelda game, it's actually a pretty fun game to play coop and it has some interesting RNG mechanics, considering areas are created randomly. Running this game with Baffan when we can be together :) **PB/WR: [20:52](https://youtu.be/P4LlyU_RUwE) with Baffan**

Tales of Zestiria

Panel Content
Tales of Zestiria is one of the most recent Tales of games out there. It was the first one to be released on PC, after being released on PS3-4. It is a very fun run that requires different mindset throughout the run, and even if it doesn't have consistent fight times due to the nature of the game, it is still very fun to run and watch. I'm running it on keyboard, as it speeds up movement by ~1.4.

Touhou!

Panel Content
Really hard danmaku (basically shoot'em up with lots LOTS of bullet) but really cool stuff. Might stream some of my Lunatic 1cc attempts! (AKA finishing the whole game without continue) Here is the list of my 1cc: Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil - Hard Perfect Cherry Blossom - Hard Imperishable Night - Hard - Extra Phantasmagoria of Flower View - Normal Mountain of Faith - Hard - Extra Subterranean Animist - Hard Undefined Fantastic Object - Normal Ten Desires - Normal Double Dealing Characters - Hard - Extra

List of games I wanna run

Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga Advance Wars serie glitchless Prince of Persia Sand trilogy Twilight Princess A Link To The Past Fire Emblem 7 Hector Hard mode Okami Red Steel 2

Genius of Sappheiros

Panel Content
Touhou: Genius of Sappheiros is an excellent RPG Touhou fangame. It's very hard, and you have the ability to fully reset and remake your whole build whenever you want! The run uses RNG manipulation to make the run consistent, and it's incredibly fun to run.
