The event, which has been held for the first time in Tokyo for two and a half years since the winter of 2019, gathers average about 50,000 simultaneous viewers and 6,708,730 yen donation ** (via dedicated donation form). Is over. In this article, we will send you a live report on RIJS2022 as a Mario & Luigi RPG runner who actually participated.

From the decision to hold to the end of the application period
RTA IN JAPAN is the annual event of summer and winter twice a year. When the event is approaching a few months later, the RTA runners who are waiting for the detailed announcement begin to have some fidgeting air. It was April 27 that the RIJS2022 was announced in Tokyo. The following week, it was revealed that online participation was also possible, and expectations for the first hybrid type ** were increased.
Since this event is an application system from RTA runners, the operation does not invite runners of a specific game. Players who want to participate can apply for up to two games from the dedicated site OENGUS. In order to apply for a little good time, there are many runners who are more greedy to renew their personal best than usual during the game recruitment period. In recent years, the number of applications has increased in particular, and this time, a total of 1,300 hours of application has been gathered for about 100 hours. It is a very high magnification that there is no guarantee that even a player who has a world record in a famous title has no guarantee to be adopted.
From the announcement of the fall to the day of the run
On June 26, announced the recruitment game list. The time to check the list of 50 note order one line at a time from the top will be more exciting than the production. Mario & Luigi RPG (hereinafter, Marilui RPG) I checked my name in the race column (no achievement), and this day I celebrated with my friends at a nearby restaurant. Once you are hiring as a runner, you will immediately find a commentator. The ** commentator in this event is basically determined by the runner's existence, and the operation is not involved in the selection. Some players run while explaining by themselves, but in the case of the author, the quality of the important play will decrease if they talk, so they will always call the commentators. This time, last summer, Momotaro Electric Railway-Showa Heisei Order is also a standard! ~] Mr. Asutoro, a runner, was a candidate as a commentator immediately after winning. As a result of examining with the race opponent Micron, he asked him to explain him.
The schedule was announced on July 3 of the following week, and volunteer recruitment started. Volunteers include local jobs that actually operate distribution PCs and audio mixers at the venue, and online jobs that manage Twitter and chat modifications. It is indispensable for the smooth operation of the event, and I am only grateful to the volunteers who have developed the best stage for the runner.
On July 10, recruitment started. It may have been difficult to decide the policy of general audience entering because it was the first Tokyo offline in the Corona evil. Until the RTA IN JAPAN 2019 held in Akihabara, it was possible to watch the game without prior registration, but this time it was recruitment recruitment by full registration and lottery system . 。
To prepare as a runner up to the actual performance, we will work on a rehearsal with commentators several times while working hard to update Marilui RPG's personal best, enhancing the perfection as a showcase. RIJS2022 The 9th place in the world at the time of application, was 3rd place in the world ** one week before the production. In order to record the records, many members of the Marilui RPG Speedrun Community, including the race opponent Micron and the world record holder Murmilio, received advice and support. In short-time games with a long history as a competition, it is essential to stand on the giant's shoulders by learning from the research results accumulated by the predecessors. The route of the Marili RPG used this time has already been shown in the SUMMER Games Done Quick 2015.
On August 11th, RIJS2022 is finally opening. Note Place, which was the venue this time, is a 5-minute walk from Gaienmae Station, and even the writer of the direction of direction was able to arrive without hesitation. At the reception, claim the handle name, give a vaccination certificate, and receive a name tag and mask for the runner. The mask that was distributed to all visitors and required to wear at the venue is 3M VFLEX N95 . In this mask, the spaces at the mouth were greatly secured among the N95, so I felt that it was difficult for the performers to make a talk during the performance.
Next to the entrance, there was an official charity goods sales space with the apparel brand Invincible Time. One year ago, he ran Ring Fit Adventure and attracted more than 180,000 simultaneous viewers. ** is. All goods were attractive, but I purchased a can badge set and a rubber key holder for 1,200 yen, respectively.
When the opening time at 12:00 is approaching, the movement of local staff, including the management team, will be busy. When it comes to game events of this size, there are a lot of expensive equipment used, especially when it comes to voice mixers (Behringer X32), which is used so huge. I was surprised.
After a short time after the scheduled time, the sponsored greeting will be given by Mr. Moka, and Twitch revenue and sponsor revenue for August will be donated to the Doctor without borders. etc. are explained again. In the chat on Twitch distribution, there were many voices that felt the enthusiasm of this event that came back to Tokyo after a long time over the screen, and I felt a great excitement for five days.
The top batter this time was Mr. M. Porridge who ran Earth Defense Force 5. The RTA of this work that created a sense of unity between the venue and chat with the shout of EDF! EDF! In a scene where the telepotion anchor is destroyed in the air, his greatness of the Aim power is transmitted to the writer who has never played this work.
By the way, at the offline event, one of the attractions is that you can directly impress the players who have finished running and hear the raw impressions. He told M. Porridge who finished his turn that he was a nice run, and gave him a remarks on his turn. His RTA history was just a year, and he seemed to have been playing outside of his home, but the venue's reaction and excitement were directly conveyed points were very good. It seems that the overall random number pattern was bad, so I lost time, and I missed the one-hour cut I was targeting.
After seeing the opening, I will put up my desire to see the RTA of various games at the venue and work hard to prepare for my turn at home. This is for the tuning work necessary to run stably in the event of the event. Depending on the game competition and the runner's play style, there are cases where you run in the same way as you usually aim for a record update. The author is trying to play , which focuses on finishing with no reset.
From the day of the run to the closing
On August 14, it is the day when the runner comes in. Enter one and a half hours before the scheduled time to run and head to the practice space. This time, three practice rooms were prepared in the venue. There are many high-performance gaming monitors, and you can practice freely in an environment where the input delay that can be experienced is almost zero **. In the case of the writer who plays in an environment close to the actual performance on a daily basis, it is only necessary to practice lightly locally, but for runners who are accustomed to a delayed general LCD monitor, it is to adjust to the production environment. The existence of the practice space is very large.
The previous game ends and moves to the runner seat. On this day, the entry of ordinary customers began before the Marilui RPG was started (9:30 in the morning), and the audience was filled one after another. The support from the site is always really happy, and the excitement increases before running. Please attach the headset and adjust the volume to adjust the volume, including how to hear the commentary. In the case of the author, I use a metronome to measure the timing of a certain 1F technique (a technique of about 1/60 seconds input), but the volume is adjusted by myself so that I can hear it from above the headset. To do.
When the sign of the preparation for switching the distribution screen is completed, the actual performance will finally begin. The greeting is completed and the timer starts. I wanted to be immersed in my play, but I was worried about the screen of the race opponent next to me, and I made some detailed mistakes. Originally, it was not a type that was nervous at the event, and I think that my heart rate was less than 100, but I realized again the difficulty of playing in a different environment.
In the RTA of Marilui RPG, there is no large time loss in the middle stage. In the early stages, Mr. Micron adopted a faster route, so it proceeded in a state that allowed the lead as scheduled, but after the start 50 minutes 1F technique barrel storage was divided into light and dark. If you temporarily reversed , the ranking will be replaced many times in a series of difficulties after that. In the case of online racing, the author runs without looking at the opponent's screen, but if it is offline, you will be aware of the moment of reversal and you will be sweaty in your hand.
After passing through the angry bug section where the game screen collapses, you will reach the last boss Geragemona. RTA, which skips the story significantly, has to avoid the enemy's intense attacks, as they confront the last boss at a fairly low level. ** 1 This is a big fascination where a mistake can be connected to a time loss of about 6 minutes.
The end of the race is laid down here, but I think that both Micron and the author have performed close to the best and completed each other in a good time. ASUTORO, a commentary, also told us to up to 50,000 simultaneous viewers without any excessive appeal of this RTA.
After finishing your turn, the next game Super Mario Bros. 3 runner Maiba will start preparing. He is the same as the author's debut in May 2018, and he is also a fan who personally watches his usual distribution.
This time, I got the permission, and I was particularly supported by the sofa seat (there is no clear rule about the use of the sofa seats placed right behind the runner, but people who are closely related to the performers. However, it is an impression that I often sit on the consent of the runner). When the run started, it was a very vivid play, and it was a masterpiece that was too terrible and applauded.
When I asked Maiba, who finished running, he said, I made a mistake in a one-time bullet and a 7-5 wall out of the wall, so 70 points. He said that he was nervous for the first time while being watched offline, but when he started playing, he seemed to be able to concentrate quickly, so it was a good deal. After that, he talked for a few hours in the lounge. The venue has a wide lounge ** separately from the main space, so you can freely interact with all-you-can-drink red bulls with one hand.
In one corner of the lounge, there is also an activity introduction space for the Doctors without Borders. Mr. Kawate of the Japanese secretariat, who was visiting, said that the mechanism for issuing a receipt for donation deduction was implemented last winter at the number of requests from viewers. 。 It was also impressive that he was enjoying RTA viewing on the site as a single audience.
The fun time passed quickly, and on August 15, the last day. The game that decorated the big bird this time is Dragon Quest III and Legend... The race in the category of Any% glitchless was a lot of excitement from beginning to end, and in the scene that enters Zoma Castle for the second time almost three hours after the start, cheers and big applause are natural. It broke out. ** There was also a happening that the scheduled time extended on the way because the last boss was too tight, but it was the best race suitable for the end of the event. The number of simultaneous viewers on Twitch has reached 91,096, the largest event.
When he talked to the two who finished his turn, Mr. Kazu commented, There are places where it did not tighten in the last boss, but I think that the real pleasure of Dragon Quest RTA, including that. On the other hand, MARU said, ** Dragon Quest runner history has been 11 years, but in the history that has been around for about 20 years, I also inherit my predecessor and play it. I run while biting my thoughts. It was a big bird.
Finally, he explained the reasons why Moka was greeted by the closing, which was a charity event.
The question is why all overseas RTA events are charity events. In response to that question, the person on Twitch said, ((Omitted) It was a world that could clear Mario quickly until I was able to get the GDQ, but after GDQ was created, I cleared Mario quickly. I was able to create the values of saving people. The reason that RTA in Japan is a charity event is that RTA IN JAPAN is a charity event that can save people if you clear the game quickly.
GDQ is an abbreviation of Games Done Quick and is a global speed run festival. The author had seen and heard that RIJ was referring to GDQ after the launch, but the essence I wanted to import was in its values **, so the scales fall from my eyes. did. If I could contribute to a part of the donation that I gathered this time through my game play, it is a word to run the runner.
Thus, the five-day RTA summer festival ended. After the ending video staff roll, it was announced that RTA in Japan Winter 2022 will be held at the same Note Place for six days from December 26 to 31, and Twitch distribution. Was filled with the joy of the RTA fans.
When it comes to RTA IN JAPAN, the withdrawal work after closing is RTA . With the collaboration play of the local stakeholders, the venue will quickly return to the true state before use. As far as I confirmed, during the event, one garbage was not found at the venue and it was used very beautifully, but according to the story I heard later, volunteers cleaned voluntarily. It seems that it was also a manifestation of the effect. The rules of the venue, such as the ban on meals, have been properly followed, and I think that it was a great success event not only from the numbers such as the number of viewers and donations, but also from the viewpoint of visit manners.
That's all for the RIJS2022 participation report. If you missed this event, the archive of all games has been uploaded on the official YouTube channel, so please check the video from your favorite work first.
