Hey all,

Verifiers have decided to remove the Glass Joe IL Leaderboard. A tied world record of 42.00 is rather trivial to achieve, and the large number of submissions we have received (well over 300) means we spend a long time verifying 42.00 times over and over. This site should serve as a leaderboard for top times, not a list of all people who have accomplished a trivial goal. Ultimately, we believe that it's not worth keeping the Glass Joe IL, and will be removing it now.

If you get a 42.00 on Glass Joe - it's still a world record, so congratulations! We just won't be putting it on the leaderboards anymore.

"Savestates are NOT allowed at any point. To verify this, you MUST include video from the start of a console reset leading up to the successful attempt for ALL future individual fighter submissions! If playing on a flash cart, you can't use the reset feature on the cart; the reset button on the console must be physically pushed. Retroarch is the only banned emulator."

Basically, the most important rule is that we're changing the video requirements for all IL submissions. From now on, the video you submit must start from a console reset. If you start the video from the pre-fight screen, it will be rejected, because there's no way to tell for sure whether or not savestates are being used.

Additionally, we're clarifying that, if playing on a flash cart like PowerPak or EverDrive, you cannot use the reset feature on in the cart menu. The reset button on the console must be physically pressed.

Finally, we're banning the RetroArch emulator. It has a unique method of reducing input delay, but can potentially be used to create a smaller amount of input delay than console, and has some strange side effects where certain inputs can be deleted.

All of the old runs will be grandfathered in, so no need to worry about your past submissions. We understand that a lot of submissions will be rejected because a lot of people don't bother to read all the rules, but we decided that it's the best move for the integrity of the leaderboard.
