I do a bit of streaming arcade games on twitch and enjoy watching them as well. I thought it would be really fun to hold an arcade marathon on twitch that focuses on 1CC'ing arcade games. If you do speedruns of arcade games those are welcomed as well but not required! All genre's are welcome (SHMUPS, beat-em ups, platformers, anything reasonably entertaining) and I would like to use this thread as the main news and update source. I'm not sure when it will occur other than probably 3-5 weeks from now depending on the interest gained in it. I will be creating it's own Twitch channel. Still need to play with some things to decide how everyone will stream to the main channel.
IF YOU'RE IN THE EVENT PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS:
1. Get on the Freenode irc network and join #1CC. If you do not have an irc client you can use the webchat interface here: http://webchat.freenode.net/. Just enter "#1CC" for the channel (without the quotes) and put your nickname, fillout the captcha and hit connect. Might be a good idea to verify that you can connect before the marathon starts.
2. Please join the chat before you are scheduled. You don't have to stick around if you need to do other things but at least be in chat a good 30-60 minutes before you're scheduled to play as people may finish early or later. This also gives you time to setup while the other runner plays.
3. You will need to have the ability to stream to hitbox.tv as this will be the main platform that everyone streams to. Hitbox.tv is used because it has the least amount of delay and I will be restreaming from there to twitch. I will give you the stream key necessary when your time slot is up, I'll be using two channels so you can setup while the other is being played to minimize setup times.
Instructions on how to setup hitbox using OBS and XSPLIT:

http://help.hitbox.tv/customer/en/porta ... plit-setup [XSPLIT]
The only thing you need to be concerned about is the server to connect to and where to put your stream key as this will be given to you by me during the marathon in the IRC chat. So it's necessary that you are in the chat.
The event will be held Saturday November 21st through Sunday November 22nd.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SIGN-UP:
SIGN-UP FORM:
http://goo.gl/forms/pUoDhnP8h1
When/If enough interest is gathered for the marathon I will update this thread and do my best to work with people on time slots. I do not know how long it will run, it just depends on how many people can sign up. I will keep this updated and make an spreadsheet showing games and time slots for them. I would ideally like to group genre's and series together (i.e. if someone submitted DDP and another DDP2 I'd try my best to get them to be played back to back).
Feel free to post in this thread what you signed up for however it is not required as I will be using the sign up form to create a schedule. Please spread the word to anyone you think might be interested, and feel free to re-tweet the signup (my original tweet is here: https://twitter.com/TheRealPasky/status ... 0937737217. Thanks!
- You can confidently 1CC the game you are submitting. A 1CC during the marathon is not required, in fact I don't expect every single person to be able to 1CC but your ability to be able to do so is important, so don't submit games you know you have a lot of trouble with if you know you won't make it through.
- Emulators/Ports (As in 1:1, not things such as Double Dragon NES)/Original Hardware are all welcomed!
- Have the ability to stream to Twitch/Hitbox/Youtube for whatever you're playing, whether you're on emulator or original hardware.
- Doesn't have a very large time consuming portion so that you can 1CC the game. An example of this would be say farming stage 1 in a game for 10-30 minutes to receive a power up that allows you to steam roll the rest of the game easily. No one wants to watch that, it's boring.
- Anything that didn't have a commercial arcade release will not be accepted. This includes Touhou and Doujin games that weren't released on an arcade platform.
- No Mahjong/Quiz games.
- Have fun! There's no pressure to make it through successfully it's just about having fun and trying to get others to experience the excitement of playing an arcade game!
