Hey folks,

i started learning any% without gamble and i just realized that for some party i cannot get the enemies to spawn like in the record.. I know that sometimes very small movement differences can cause totally differnt spawn amounts, however best example for my problem is the first screen after the cutscene which you get after this octorok guy,

Am i missing sth or are there actually differnt versions of the game or sth?

hey guys!

I will shortyly start learning this game and run it...so again the question: Do the vods of the first two runners still exist? (also watchable without nico vid account?)

Because i guess they have a kinda different route..otherwise the time difference would not be that immense

i have a run now so you can add the category. :)

Greetings!

alright i will do it :)

Hello,

can someone maybe add a category for "all characters" ? Would enjoy running that alot (complete the game with all 5 chars in one sitting...after one finished run, just reset console and take the next one, without interupting the timer)

That would be cool :)

Hey thank you for that quick reply,

tbh i never checked how much zsnes is faster than console..i just know that ppl generally say it is faster no matter what. As for such a short run it surely does not matter. But yes it most likely is, i dont know.

But yes i mean we dont have to change it since the game is anyways not too optimized yet

Greetings!

Well hello all!

Just a quick question about general coop runs and especially about the current wr run:

Are zsnes coop runs allowed? (zsnes is one of the few emulators that can handle multiplay via internet) If yes i think it should not be allowed anymore because the zsnes emulator is well known for not emulating the games on an accurate speed..games go faster on that emulator than on actual real console.

So in addition to that i want to ask if the wr is done on zsnes aswell, because if so i dont think it should be on the boards.

Thank you for a quick replay and have a nice rest sunday :)

Hey mate,

first of all: Thanks for accepting the runs. Game is alot of fun to run, escpecially because it has not toooo much rng involved in it. Community might grow even because another friend of us might start running it aswell once he is at home again.

1. Sounds good, so far we always handled it like that because it is more like most games where the actual game starts after start screen so you can even decide yourself what language you wnat to play in (even tho it makes no differences timing wise if you play italian/german or whatever)

2. Good that you start that topic because yea zsnes is a thing...don't know how much faster it is but since its overall known that it runs faster than actual console it would be the right thing to not have it on the leaderboards. (would be sad tho because you put time into the game..maybe you would run it again today on other emulator?) So yea long story short we would appreciate to keep it like the gobal rules for snes runs (zsnes not being legit for speedrunning)

-> Normally i play on real hardware but because of this game being PAL exclusive i more or less HAVE to play on emulator aswell :/ I am using the bizhawk Emulator because it is known to not really lose any time compared to console as far as we know.. (only downsite is that it drains your computer ressources pretty much)

So thanks again and we hope it is not too bad for you now with that old run.

PS: Can you give us mod role aswell? Might make it faster for the incoming runs/submissions.

Greetings! o/

Hey all,

a good friend and I started running "The smurfs (SNES)"...since we have rivalry going on its a lot of fun to push each others times lower. Meanwhile we got quite good and compatitive times BUT:

1. the only runner (who is also only mod) the game had so far is online once or twice a day. So far he has not accepted any of our runs.. (it has been over a week in total) ...
2. That runner also runs on ZSNES which is mostly banned globally due to running games faster than actual console...so we don't think it should stay on the leaderboards because its an unfair advantage which should not be legit in the end.
3. Don't think he would be mad about my friend "Turanin" and myself becoming the new mods for this game because he seems to be inactive anyways.

Hope to hear from you and get a fast answer, thank you!

As far as i remember he only appears if you don't have an amulet of the caron in ur inventory. Once you don'T have one he should appear the normal way.

Hey!

I learned the game Plok for SNES and realized that there is only a single mod who is more or less not that active on the leaderboards anymore.. Since i plan to run this game quite a lot i wanted to ask for moderation role here.

sup desa3579 emeraldsword and i agreed together that we don'T like this entire thing about hardware advantage like playing ps1 games on ps2 hardware with faster speed so we decided to keep it like that unless the game would catch more interest overall.

NTSC american version most likely or the japanese version (only difference is that one enemy in the second desert stage is missing in the JAP version and that the character models look different)

wow that sounds like you made some sick founds again? (for pc) because from what we have atm or the stuff i know we have sub 46 should be possible if the run is completely sick. so i am excited of how ur sub 35 should be a thing :D

Also great job you did for the game! it gives the game a much better route and more fun to actually run

I just realized that there are many more differences between pc and ps version the last two days since that topic started here.

Both versions have skips that the other version don'T have and a little bit of veriation in various stages. (don't know what the time difference is supposed to be between ps and pc now but not as much as imagined before i guess. still pc is for sure faster)

All in all, was a good idea to differ between both on the leaderboards

hi authorblues!

Awesome to hear that you are interested in this game! About seperating PS and PC: We can ofc do that but so far i did not feel the need to do so since the leaderboard is anyways sooo small that i don't know if we really need that, if people decide so however we can do it.

And yeah except for the frame rate the game is the same.. only thing to mention is that some glitches don't work on ntsc and the waterslide part at the end of pyramid 3 does not exsist.

So even tho it was not about that but fastest way to go is PAL on PC.

how is that click baity? 🤔

Welcome man! :) Happy running!

@MasterLeoBlue: feel free to run on pc man, i totally forgot about the thing so i did not write that i eddited the rules and took it out a kinda long time ago. Made that rule when i did not understand that nearly anything was published on pc aswell etc etc

Greetings

Hey community!

I just saw that two of the three mods are never on speedrun.com and the third mod is pretty inactive aswell most of the time.

So the general question is if active people could get moderated? At least 1 or 2 to make things more fluent because its always nice to have mods that check the leaderboards.

Greetings!

I mean allowed in terms of if you could do it: Yes!

But without these crystals you will probably lose alot of time finding some other crystals instead. I would recommend watching crawek's wr..you can learn pretty well this way in my opinion.

alright..i would say that we wait until you did that and then we can discuss the difference and see if it includes more differences :)

I think PC is a normal version that got released back in the back? Think it should be allowed since its no "fake" boost like faster disc speed for ps2 would be since this is not a ps2 game.
