¤ Or for categories that mods refuse to add even if there are a bunch of valid reasons to do so.
Anyway, thank you. There is a dedicated section for meme categories in the Pokémon speedrunning community forums, I don't know why I didn't think about creating a thread for it here before xD
(Here is the video for my All Time Trials run, Glitchless as mentioned on my timer , can I add "WR" in the title now that you made a leaderboard ? Kappa )
The second one. You have to capture the entire window, my Gold run was rejected this week because I only went for the first one, due to technical issues (now solved).
About timing issues, LiveSplit has a "Manual Game Time Input" feature that allows runners to enter segment times and get their total time calculated. That's how Sonic runners get their times, and I used that during my 3 runs too (got a 1:01:57 earlier, finally something decent)
Anyway, it wouldn't be that bad to have a new category even if you don't think it's a good idea... The 11 categories we currently have are here since the release of the game, and activity is decreasing ; why not try to add something new ?
Lafungo is a mod in a lot of other games, so he probably hasn't even seen this thread yet :/ (If you're here please prove me wrong :P ) I hope he adds the category too, once again it would be cool to have a "pure execution" category ^^ (and free "WR" until someone serious runs it Kappa )
Btw, just finished another (terrrrrrible, even with 3 PBs) run in 1:02:59.155... My ability to completely fuck up on 10 tracks per run is getting really interesting lol (ruined 3 free PBs at the end, finished 6 tracks at +10s or worse)
Just finished a first run in 1:03:04.455 (31:48.091 Nitro, 31:16.364 Retro), with a lot of big mistakes (15 seconds lost to my TT PB in Mario Circuit, 12 in DK Pass, 10 in SNES Rainbow Road, 9 in Koopa Cape...), but still 2 PBs (-0.9xx in GBA Bowser Castle 1 I hadn't run in ages, and -0.02x in Luigi's Mansion) o/ Not even sure if I upload it, given that every single run I'll do will beat it by (at least) 30 seconds with literally no effort, and I won't let that shit be a PB for more than a week xD
My "Sum of Best" is 1:00:58.031 (30:46.018 Nitro, 30:12.013 Retro), all glitchless, so sub 1 should be really easy to get in a run for a top TT player, and maybe even sub 55 would be possible with all glitches :o
I think he means a "Do all 32 TTs" category, not a TT category for every track.
That's a good idea imo, still do all 32 tracks but all down to your execution, not depending on items to save time... And using IGT because we're not comparing our mashing between tracks (during those excessively long loads)
Wow, that's a really cool timesave o/ But by resetting, do you mean "Go to home menu, quit the game and restart the game", or did you find another technique ? Because I can't remember another way to reset :v
Just one. For the same reason that makes Manaphy optional for area02, aka "area runs just have to get through the area, reaching an access to a new one at the end" and don't have to complete all levels.
It would make a pretty good run for a 24 hours marathon XD (But you wouldn't have time to do anything else lol)
What about a All Cups All Characters All Modes (50, 100, 150, mirror) category ? The challenge is to stay alive during the 110 hours run Kappa
There were 100% for ILs originally but they were removed, useless.
100% Areas would be pretty cool, but that means 29 extra "full-game" categories when we already have 32 x_x
Thanks ^^ (And sorry for VERY late reaction)
Got a 1:27 for Mew, but I can get a lot better so I won't submit it until my touchscreen stops being stupid and I get a better time.
Wow. Congrats on all these WRs XD
The problem for your new category is that murals can't be resetted, so you would only have max 1 try (if you haven't completed a single puzzle yet) :(
Congrats o/
If you have a video (which you must have for your run to be validated), just check the time between your last split and where RTA normally stops, add that to the time you had for your last split, and that's it ^^ (That should be about 1:15 if you had 2 Pokémon in Hall of Fame and split after Champion)
It works perfectly for NSC too, I did a few runs with it. And yeah, it's 100% fine for glitchless (and NMG) and works exactly the same way as emulator or original console.
Could you please add leaderboards for :
- Mew (password 1858-7211, Area 04)
- Celebi (Area 04)
- Zygarde (Area 05)
- Zygarde 10% (password 7432-6715, Area 05)
- Perfect Zygarde (password 7774-2314, Area 05)
- Jirachi (Area 07)
Thanks ^^
PS : password for Ash-Greninja (Area 03) is 8990-7383
All Stages in an area wouldn't include Alt World because it would double all stages, which is completely useless Kappa p And yeah, 32 main categories is... A bit too much TriHard
Got a 24s Manaphy btw, recorded correctly this time. This one is really solid (still possible to get a 21 with that strat imo, but won't grind for it until 24 is beaten)
Congrats on WR Kevin, this one seems really hard to beat :)
Nice Manaphy time Pokehero, gonna try to beat it, I feel a bit more interested in this one than in the 10x10s Kappa b
Concerning the potential new categories, Alt World levels are exactly the same as normal levels, so I don't really see the point of making new categories out of it. But I agree with you about All Stages Area runs and the "real" full game Any%, it would be cool to have these, it would bring a bit more variety.
Edit : Say hi to my 0:42 Manaphy XD (I only recorded top screen which is absolutely useless, so all I have is this screenshot until I beat it)
(Don't watch it, it's bad we can save at least 10 seconds Kappa ) As Hypnoshark mentioned it on my Area02 run comment, "It's just get to the end of the area as fast as possible. No need to do side missions". That's why Alt-world tutorials are not needed, as well as Froakie and Manaphy for Area02 ;)
For All Areas, I'm not sure though. But what you do in this one is basically all 31 individual areas, so I suppose side missions are optional there too :)
50cc would basically be more a slowwalk than a speedrun Kappa
But Mirror can be interesting :)
