MexicoI don't know if anyone knows about it or if it is a thing in runs, but I was playing the Legendary Edition on Series X. During the ending of the Shadow Broker DLC I was trying to get to the ship before the ending. I guess I took cover or something before the ship arrived and I got sent flying in the air like a Halo 2 super jump. Wonder if anyone knows about this or if it could be helpful and try to replicate. Sadly I don't have a clip of it, but it was interesting to share.
I was playing online with someone and used electroblade before being disconnected. Joined back and I had infinite electroblade and speed that didn't go away even during sections. This could definitely be useful for coop any% maybe.
Personally I don't like it as someone can use TAS tools or cheat and as such could cheat top times. However in light of Soulcalibur being removed from the Xbox Marketplace with Soulcalibur II HD. The only way to play is if you have the game still on Xbox 360/Xbox One or get the Dreamcast version.
So to encourage people to continue running the game I thought of putting up a poll to see what your thoughts are. Will be up until September 2nd. So share with others and I will post this in the Soulcalibur discord. http://poal.me/8olma6
I know there's a thing in resources linking to a google sheets for doing comparison of IGT live. But is there a program that does this where you can input times live in it?
I think I saw someone who speedruns in a video have something like it for Mike Tyson's punchout. Basically the program is like live split and compares IGT times for a game. With a list of times for the stages and you can plug in a time you get during a run. And it adds to the right like -1.80 and +1.80 in green and red respectively. Please and thank you.
I have an HD PVR 2 and it comes with Arcsoft Showbiz, but every time I want to use it I have to change the video settings. Is there anyway when using Arcsoft Showbiz capture to change the Hauppauge video encoder default settings. I remember before it always used the same settings and not sure how to do that again.
I saw the categories forum post and they posted a word list in the post. Yet the game I downloaded from the link in the rules of Nezza's game. It does not have some words in the word list Nezza has here https://github.com/stacksmashing/gb-wordle/blob/main/wordlist.h
I tried stone, store, and state and they don't work. Is there an accurate list of the words?
I don't think anyone else found it, but there's a way to skip having to go to the switches to deactivate in gadget training so you can get complete in less than 8 seconds IGT.
How it is done do Xray Gadget and when deactivating the switches press them twice. Then the next time you do Xray gadget upon getting them from the table immediately textboxes in the corner say they have been deactivated. Then shortly later it completes.
At the same time I also found that if you do night vision gadget and then the next time you do it immediately entering the darkness the textbox shows up. Instead of having to go to the switch. Sure it may not seem like that much of a time save. But it still is something.
Since the update made enemy AI in arcade harder can we change the rules so that everyone has to play on the current version. It's unfair that people can't get good times now and console players can't downpatch games. Which leaves PC players at an advantage. I did a run because I downloaded the game from Game Pass and the AI are without a doubt not easy. I get comboed so hard unlike the top times.
Finally got to creating one for the community. Feel free to join if you want to. https://discord.gg/t7CssmJT3E
I made a discord server for the speedruns. Feel free to join if you want to. https://discord.gg/t7CssmJT3E

I purpose we change the leaderboards and update and modernize them.
Purposed change Full Game Categories: Arcade/Time Attack/Edge Master/Team Battle Variable: Arcade [1R and 2R] Levels Leaderboards for each character and categories being Arcade (Default settings) and Edge Master.
Why? To make it more simpler and make it easier to navigate than using 10 variables for Arcade and Edge Master full game. Which only Arcade would have a variable of 1R and 2R. No runs would be lost and remain preserved just all character sub category runs merged into one for 2R and log all fastest times ever submitted for Arcade. Character runs for Arcade would be copied over onto level leaderboards.
Level leaderboards would allow for people to compete with their favorite characters in case one is the fastest for Arcade or Edge Master and they are not skilled with them.
So in summary full game Arcade and Edge Master categories would serve as logging the fastest times for any character and for a singular leaderboard of them all. Whereas level leaderboards would serve as a means to have the characters runs to be submitted without being under one leaderboard merged. That way one can see the fastest times for each character in individual leaderboards. Please I encourage everyone to really think about this I think this could greatly improve the leaderboards.
I don't understand why it's either all or nothing with the variables. Surely it could be done to have a variable only be for level leaderboard categories or full game categories. Why is it all categories for both or nothing? That just seems ridiculous and a design flaw.
I figure since the game has been popular lately to create a server. Here we could organize races for fun.
I'd like everyone's thoughts on changing NG and even NG+ to only do the Chapter 7 Inferno fight. Maybe not for NG, but I'm strongly in favor of it for NG+. Simply because of the first stage of chapter 10 is such BS. Plus the point of the run is to go as fast as possible and kill Inferno. Chapter 7 is naturally faster and that stage is way easier and not run killer.
I had done runs and submitted but deleted as Baja pointed out others for NG did both Inferno fights. I only did Chapter 7's Inferno. For everyone's sanity I believe 7 should be the end.
Additionally I don't know if anyone else noticed it, but I'm convinced more runs you finish on NG+. The harder the stages get if so that is incredibly stupid because you need to beat NG every time before a NG+ to get the easier AI.
