The ocarina of time speedrun involves so many tricks and glitches it is probably one of THE best speedruns to watch .

Ya, FF7 might be fun to watch if you played it, but even then, it won't be very impressive. Too much randomness, and not visually impressive like other actiony games like SMB/mario games can be.

I'd classify OoT as more of an action/adventure game, though it does have its RPG elements, but I see where you're coming from. A lot of watching gaming (speedrun or otherwise) comes down to preference.
OoT will be after the first disc of FF7 and DKC2, that got donated into the marathon in place of downtime for the setup hour they had built in to help with overruns. So far they've been far enough under schedule to add a few games in.

Ya pretty much the most 'impressive' part of the JRPG speed runs is knowing how little fighting you can get away with while still being strong enough for the harder boss fights(which goes into your part about planning). It ends up being like some kind of low level challenge on steroids.

Shall we throw down? I'm willing to donate $50 to kick us off. How long do we have until they get Cait Sith? I'm willing to donate another 15 towards ESPORTS. About 3 hours? possibly a bit longer, but that seems about right.
You get him at the Gold Saucer which is near the end of the first cd if I remember.
Also, LOL at the Squat contest. I could never win that T.T

Since they're good on time, the 1 hour setup time they had will be replaced with DKC2 if I'm not mistaken, and after that there will be OoT... wich will be 5 in the morning here -_-
Time to set the alarm clock, quite some good games coming up after that also!
