pretty sure you're not forced to pick a difficulty. But i would assume the easiest difficulty would be the fastest

i like the thought of no fast travel, but personally i'm also someone would like speedruns with "arbitrary" conditions as some like to put it (for Example something like any% No Fast Travel) and it wouldn't break the point of going fast as possible, sometimes going the fastest possible way is boring as hell. So adding something to restrict something that takes the fun out of something makes the run more interesting. Just as long as we're not adding a no puzzle skip because imo that one is pretty dumb. But if and when i look to start running this, it might be something i would run over just the any% mainly because the favorite part about running this game is the movement. So using fast travel just take the fun out of it for me. That's my two cents. I also agree, that 100% and plat% should not be the same thing

that's fair, only just curious. Thanks for the info guys

well i obviously saw that, that only really tells how long it takes at most. I was wondering about on average how long does it take. I'm willing to wait as long as it'll take to get the board i'm just curious how long it's taken others to get their boards and such

hello, just curious on average how long do games get accepted/denied on average? I had submitted mine about 4 or 5 days ago. Not trying to sound impatient just curious how long it takes on average. Does it vary from game to game or is it something else?

if you're looking for short and glitchless pokemon is the way to go.

i would not count it into this due to the fact that Zelda one already has a defined 100% category

Q. What games are acceptable to the Completithon

A. any Categories that are close to or are 100%. This is but not limited to 100%, Plat%, Max%, all Achievements, All collectibles, and any other variant of a 100% (such as SM64 having 120 star or Clock Tower having all endings)

Q. my speedrun only has an any% because there are not collectibles. Can i submit?

A. No, this is still a 100% marathon, We're looking for completitonist categories (such as the ones state above)

Q. Are there any restrictions? (apart from needing to be a Completionist category)

A. Not really, but any games past 12 hours need to not be doing a ton of repetitive stuff. I.E. FFX Nemesis where you just trying to collect all the monsters for basically half the run. So something like Animal Crossing is fine for example is fine.

Q. My community doesn't exactly have a 100% category but has something close. Is that ok?

A. Yes that is perfectly fine, if there's a speedrun that cuts out repetitive stuff or is just close to the 100% as it possibly can then that is fine with us

will there be an RPG block 🤔

i think the problem here is, you think just because FF7 is faster that means every game is faster. Most games are slower on a PSX emulator. Take FFT for example, emulator loses about 30-40 mins just load times alone, that's not including any laggy CS, while emulators are never accurate yes they're certainly not faster for every game. FDS is alot of the times the reason the game loads faster, emulators do not have this option which is why it is slower. Sure some games have an exception to this but that doesn't mean every game is the same, most games i've ever seen been ran on any emulator was either way slower or is closer to being with PSX ( which is of course slower then PS2 respectively). Also whoever tested for FF7 to be faster on PSXFin must've had a modded iso to speed up the load times because everyone in the FFT community uses PSXFin and their load times are slow as shit compared to console. But you can't just assume because one game is inaccurate doesn't mean all of them are, and all games have to taken in a case by case difference because not all games are emulated the same. So to just pass it off as "it's the emulator that makes it faster" is just an uneducated excuse. Don't call someone uneducated when you've obviously haven't even got the facts right yourself. FF7 is the first game i've ever heard to actually be faster on psx emulator, i'm sure it's not the only one but to assume every game is like that is wrong

the only reason PS3 isn't faster then PS2 is due to the fact it does not have FDS, PSvita, PSTV, and PSP all do have FDS and are alot of the times are faster due to load times. Take Parasite eve for example. The fastest version is to play on PSP or PSTV due to the fact of their load times, FFT is also the same way, it's faster due to load times. Another example of a game that's faster is Spyro. The only reason these don't have digital separate due to the fact that they're literally the same game, just ran on different hardware. If we were talking about remakes/remasters or even ports where there's alot of differences such as FFX or FFXII or even something like Sword of mana then that warrents separating the categories or even making LB all in it self. There's literally no point in separating categories just because a console has better load times. I don't see why that's fair, espically when people there are people who want to take the game seriously and want to be competitive but are forced to play on a different category because they're not playing on disc. That's like saying to BotW players that you have to play on a disc copy of WiiU or have to from the chip on the switch. As for the thing about emulation, emulation will never be faster due to the fact there is not the option for FDS so no matter how fast your computer or much better your computer will be emulation won't be faster unless you mod the emulator to do so but then your on accurately emulating the game which is pretty much banned in most situations

if it's offical hardware then it should be allowed on the LB. Just because you have a digital copy sold by the same people doesn't make it any less official.

hello, all the current consoles for LoD are all listed except for PSTV. I thought i would say something, PSVita and PSTV as far as i know might run on the same system but are still very much different, alot of the times PSTV is also faster. Although i could be wrong on that too

i'm not sure which you are talking about but all quicks are calculated to be 100% or close to being 100% chances. The quick math is (140+11).74.70 which is a 78% chance as neutral but with best comp (50% chance modifer) makes about a 117% chance which is 100% chance

@MelonSlice when is this marathon?

cause someone might be interested here to submit something like 120 stars. Is that not 100% of SM64? o-o

currently i am holding staff appilcations till the 5th of april, anyone who is interested please check out the link provided here
