4 Year Anniversary Raid Train

Lady Arcaders Raid Train

Lady Arcaders is celebrating our FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY (February 14th!) with a Twitch community raid train from Thursday February 12th to Sunday the 15th! The train will be starting on our Twitch channel for Thursday's Attract Mode! and doing a complete loop around back to Sunday's Attract Mode! We'll be celebrating our members and all the cool things they do!

During the weekend, we'll be raising funds for Out of Bounds Toronto, our in person event! Donations for Lady Arcaders can be sent through our Ko-Fi page

We've also released a merch collection for our 4th anniversary, designed by myserval! The collection is available on our Ko-Fi shop.

PEAK with the Ladies

Invite some fellow ladies to try and challenge the mountain climb in PEAK. Maybe include a challenge that makes sure we have take the Bing Bong plush all the way to the top for giggles.

selcouthmind

My name is selcouthmind, but you can call me Sel! I am a Canadian indie game content creator, speedrunner, charity marathon host, and vtuber. I typically focus on roguelikes, cooking games, puzzle games, and weird/silly speedruns (such as The Sims 4 Grilled Cheese%).

zoku plays a video game

I dunno man, I keep saying you let me do stuff, at some point you gotta let me play a video game, right?

zokubun

I've been lucky enough to do a lot of things for a lot of places, including Lady Arcaders :3

On my own time I'm powered by lemon iced tea, slowly working through a neverending backlog of games, and probably in sore need of sleep.

Bizhawk Shuffler

As I do with groups that haven't frequented my streams, I am going to do a Bizhawk Shuffler of games I grew up with/define me as a gamer. I will be shuffling 8-12 games every 3-5 minutes from the NES, SNES, Genesis, GBA, GBC, and possibly NDS.

TwiliAutumn

I am a variety streamer on Twitch. I try to reduce my backlog one game at a time. I also love wrestling and sports.

SporadicErratic's Whatever the Heckie

Heya friends! I'm living up to my name on this one, and will either be hopping on in with my usual OW shenanigans, or I'll put slap together some random indie fun! Choo choo!

SporadicErratic

I love hosting!! I first volunteered for GDQ in the summer of 2019, and it was my supreme honor to host for the finale of that event; Puwexil's run of Chrono Trigger that took the event to 3 million dollars raised for Doctors Without Borders for the first time. I want to help out with similar events to make a positive difference in the world. It helps that I love video games! I stream casually 3-4 days a week, and I enjoy playing a variety of indies.

5:00am EST @ Fri Feb 13th

Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005)

I plan to either do a speedrun of All Scenarios Galactic Conquest (which I've showcased on Lady Arcaders in the past), or do a sort of mod map showcase as either a speedrun or casually playing and talking about it.

Starfy_99

Hai, I'm Starfy! I'm a trans gal lesbian vtuber that sometimes facecams as well if I'm feeling confident enough that day. I majorly speedrun Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) holding a lot of the game's world records, but I'd love to branch out eventually to more! I also enjoy playing fighting games, and I have a love of Ratchet and Clank. I wanna try my best to branch out and make new friends too.

BeamQueenSol

7:00am EST @ Fri Feb 13th

Kirby practice of some kind maybe?

I'll be participating in a race tournament for Nightmare in Dream Land during this time and we also have our yearly K-STAR relay coming up! So I might do some sort of practice for those!

BeamQueenSol

Hi, I'm Sol (she/her)! I'm an Eevee Vtuber with a bunch of hats, a love for beams, and try to give cozy vibes while also playing games quickly! Or sometimes casually, or as a challenge. Expect a lot of Kirby, but other platformers might show up too! And Metroid now, by accident.

I've also been in a bunch of event spaces and been part of the Lady Arcaders tech team since 2024!

Mario Party 5 Ft. Star Anise, Jupi, Kori, and Ozokerite

anneurismz

Hi! Im Anneurismz but you can call me Anne! I speedrun Mindwave, World of Horror, and Splatoon 3. I also play lots of fighting games, rythym games, Nintendo games, and indie games!

Star Anise

Star Anise hasn't told us about themselves yet!

Jupi

Jupi (also known as a Cutefangies) has been recorded as "this girl who gave me mahjong tiles one day" or "creature that suddenly typed 'this too is yuri' into the business meeting slack". They have been sighted on speedrunning events, though they usually remain hibernating through the long summers. She's known to indulge in the running of unknown and/or indie video games, like Yars Rising and Muramasa The Demon Blade.

Pseudoregalia Randomizer 100% Run

I plan to spend the whole month practicing Pseudoregalia speedruns, so taking a break from the leaderboard grind in the middle to do a randomizer would be a lot of fun! Just a chill hangout stream for the girls with intense, high level gameplay.

echo machine

Echo is a broke transgendered woman-adjacent thing that loves to play games for excellence and relaxation in equal measure. It has a long history of creating electronic music and tiny video games / mods, as well as structuring sentences questionably to express fiction and nonfiction alike. I just did it again, didn't i

Speedrun Exchange

I've been learning how to go fast in a lot of video games and they also say teaching is one of the best ways to learn... So, let's exchange some of our favorite games and see what we can learn in just 2 hours! Kabuto Park, Another Crab's Treasure, Stardew Valley, Haiku the Robot... So many options, so little time.

theValiantSun

you can call me sun, you can call me valiant, or you can call me jes! my pronouns are they/any, which means i prefer they/them unless the bit is funnier if you gender me. i'm a mathematical researcher by day and a speedrunner by night. while i'm most known for stardew valley, i'm also a big fan of rhythm games and metroidvanias!

Quacksilver

RPG Speedrun of some sort

I mostly run 4-12 hour speedruns but there are a few smaller 2ish hour categories I can pick from:
- Chrono Trigger Magus%
- Chrono Cross Lynx%
- DQXI Sword of Light%

And a few 2.5 - 3 hr runs that if I start earlier, we can still make work for a 2 hr timeslot:
- FFX-2
- FF4 PC 3D

Luigi’s Mansion - Randomizers / Mod showcase

Off the back of my AGDQ run, I’d like to explore some of the more unconventional ways to play Luigi’s Mansion. My main idea is to run some more seeds of the newly updated randomizer, but I’ve not played any of the more robust mods made for LM before, so I may try one of those out instead/as well. I also currently have a pending commission for a small but exciting new mod, so if that gets finished in time, I’d love to show it off the most!

Elite_Spud

Hi! I'm Spud (they/she) — A part-time achievement hunter and full-time dork who accidentally became a speedrunner at some point. I make silly noises while playing games on the internet as an excuse to indulge in far too many hobbies & meet some cool people along the way. I enjoy difficult, high-energy games, but also have a soft spot for story rich narratives regardless of genre. I've beaten Luigi's Mansion over 300 times, and even once blindfolded!

Improving My Animal Crossing Island!

I've been deep in a new Animal Crossing save file and I'm eager to design a super cool island! We'll be hunting down items, reworking landscapes and maybe even looking for new villagers to move onto the island!
Possibly may allow viewers to visit my island, or even visit theirs if they'll let me!

Pokemon Fire Red Archipelago Randomizer

I will be playing through the Pokemon Fire Red Archipelago Randomizer.

Items, Hidden Items, Key Items, HMs, TMs, and Badges are randomized and hidden throughout Kanto and the Sevii Islands.

Pokemon, Moves, and Abilities are also randomized. (Wonder Guard is blocked. All my homies hate Wonder Guard.)

I will try my best to beat the game in the time limit, worse case scenario we see how far I can go!

Chafee

Hi! My name is Chafee or Brooke, and I’m a beginner speedrunner from rural Canada.

In the real world I work in IT, but otherwise I am a gremlin who collects hobbies like an old person who collects fine china.

After being a long time lurker, I feel like it’s finally time to dip my feet into the world of speedrunning, especially helping out in marathons. I love helping others, so I believe this will be a good fit for me :)

Exxy

Exxy plays, Exxy jokes, Exxy writes, Exxy records, Exxy yes and's whenever possible.

My main creative outlets are music, photography, and video. I have a band called Power Pop. We play power pop.

I'm a filthy Lucio main with a dirty Junkrat/Tracer/Vendetta side. I don't want to play Overwatch anymore but I don't know what to replace it with. There is no ethical consumption under first person shooterism.

I love Trails and Sayonara Wild Hearts and weird games and cozy games and subversive games and big dumb games.

I HATE Heavy Rain.

Could I place an order? I'm hungie.

Sonic Adventure DX Solo Archipelago Randomizer Seed

I will be doing a solo seed by myself of Sonic Adventure DX Randomizer using Archipelago. This makes it so that every level and boss and character upgrade item and a few other things are randomized and I will need to complete a set amount of levels and defeat a set amount of bosses and collect a set amount of emblems to unlock Perfect Chaos and finish the seed.

Pcol

I yap a lot about Xenoblade and Assassin's Creed. Most of my speedrun things are categories that I've made up myself that either didn't exist on leaderboards until I made them or still don't exist on leaderboards now. Don't let anyone tell you how to speedrun! You can always do your own thing.

G-Force 100% Speedrun to Defeat Speckles + Showing Bonus Content

The goal is to beat the game along with collecting all 50 Silver Discs and 8 Golden Discs. This will require the runner to do some interesting routing and different glitches for levels to achieve this.

Learning Kingdom Hearts 2 Any%!

It is time. I have circled around it for quite some time. I have spent more than a hundred hours in the randomizer but I have yet to really dive into traditional Kingdom Hearts speedrunning. My plan is to spend my time learning the route for Kingdom Hearts 2 Any%, on Critical difficulty because its funny when the streamer dies a lot. I will also spend a lot of time talking about the lore of Kingdom Hearts and why I love the series so much because I am threepup and literally cannot help myself. I will finally reach my Final Form. (wow that's lame)

threepup

Hi I'm threepup! Trans girl, kingdom hearts sicko, speedrunner of indie games that nobody has ever heard of. When I'm not in front of a computer, I am watching movies or playing children's card games. Will yap endlessly about Disney or board games or horror, so be warned.

Stardew Valley Archipelago Randomizer

In my segment I'm planning to do a Stardew Valley Archipelago randomizer with my friend pr1nc3ssshortcake! We likely won't finish an entire randomizer but we'll get to have lots of fun showing off the fun time that is randomizer chaos in Stardew.

Mass Effect 3 Co-Op Showcase w/ Exxy

Exxy and I have been getting back into one of the most addicting PvE experiences of the 2010's in Mass Effect 3 Co-Op! The vibes would mostly just be a bunch of gals hanging out and defending the universe from the horrors that exist within it!

Blue Prince Bingo Bonanza

Blue Prince has an active bingo scene, bringing tons of fun and chaos to one of the hit games of 2025! Options for the stream include a 5x5 lockout race with 1-3 other people, B Quest Bingo, Fog Quest Bingo, or any of the above with Crowd Control added to the mix. Any time left over could be spent showcasing reaching room 46, the goal of the game, obtaining chess power, or any number of other cool things in the game.

My name is selcouthmind, but you can call me Sel! I am a Canadian indie game content creator, speedrunner, charity marathon host, and vtuber.

Lunistice True Ending | Mika and the Witch's Mountain Any% Unrestricted

Join me as I run the True Ending category of Lunistice followed by the Any% Unrestricted category of Mika and the Witch's Mountain! Lunsitice is a precisio 3D platformer with lots of heart and neat tricks. Mika and the Witch's Mountain is a very cozy game in an idyllic setting that has big Kiki's Delivery Service vibes, but the speedrun is pretty movement-intensive and technical!

piquancy

I'm piquancy (she/her)! You can also call me piq, or Hannah. I like to play platformers, adventure games, RPGs, and rhythm games. I've even been known to speedrun a game or two! I also love music, cooking, dancing, board games, and TCGs.

Link's Awakening DX Randomizer

LADXR is my go-to randomizer -- I'm very excited to be running it at Frost Fatales in March! -- and I enjoy showing it off to new audiences. For this segment, I'd be rolling a five- or six-instrument seed and working through as much as I can in the time slot (times can really vary with this randomizer).

This is a "default" mode randomizer. Weapons, trading quest items, heart pieces, heart containers, secret seashells, and chest rupees have all been scattered throughout Koholint Island. Dungeon keys, maps, compasses, and stone beaks have been shuffled within their original dungeons (i.e. this is not a keys mode). Entrances are vanilla. I use some hard/advanced logic techniques and glitches in my runs, but the spirit of the original gameplay is still very evident. It also follows the No Wrong Warp/Out of Bounds vanilla speedrun rules.

darthplagal

I'm in my early forties and have been playing games since my family got an NES when I was five. I enjoy JRPGs, randomizers, puzzle and detective games, and all forms of video game music.

Let's hang, yeah?

Octopath Traveler - All Female Travelers Speedrun

Girls Night!!! I'll be doing an All Female Travelers speedrun of the hit JRPG Octopath Traveler, which means I'll have to complete the full stories of all the women on one save file! Recruiting any of the men is banned for this category, so it's entirely focused on the girlies! This creates an interesting run where we have to make the most out of the girls' starting classes and abilities to win battles as fast as we can!

Pokemon Run & Bun Brawly

Pokemon Run & Bun is widely considered to be one of the hardest pokemon romhacks ever created. People commonly spend months working just to complete the game, so I decided to speedrun it. Many hours were spent finely crafting a specific route to be able to beat Brawly, the game's first gym leader, in just about 2 hours.

forgiven hasn't told us about themselves yet!

The End!

Stay tuned for some final words at the end of Attract Mode!
