MH3U Leaderboard has been revamped!
8 years ago
Florida, USA

Hello everyone.

I was recently granted Mod status for MH3U. I have taken the liberty of making some changes to the leaderboard and encourage any aspiring speedrunners and lovers of Monster Hunter to check it out! I'll make a list of what I have added/what I have changed below for anyone interested.

Full-game Leaderboard changes:

Added Any% (Ceadeus) Added Any% (Cha-Cha) Added Any% (Alatreon) under Misc. Changed original Any% to Any% (Ivory Lagiacrus) under Misc. Original Segmented Any% has been removed.

A Level Leaderboard was also added. It has every offline/village quest in the game on it. I may possibly add online quests later, but for now I felt adding every single offline quest was a good start.

Other changes:

Added icons for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Added a Great Sword favicon. Added custom Speedrun.com logo. Added a MH3U related background. Added Arena Quests to ILs. Removed weapons categories from ILs to allow for more competition and better overall optimization. Added 2, 3 and 4-player categories in ILs for Arena/Online quests. Now with 20% more cats. Edited the timing for IL submissions to use In-Game Time. Rules updated to reflect the change. Time limits are included in each IL to make calculating the In-Game Time easier when posting it.

You outdid Resident Evil 4! Congratulations! :)

Cool to see someone's interested in MonHun running!

I haven't played MH3U yet, but I've played MHTri very extensively. If Cha-Cha is unlocked as early as he is in Tri, I'd suggest making that more of a misc category (since it's a pretty arbitrary ending). In any case, it's definitely not "any%", since one does not reach the credits.

Regarding the village quest ILs, it'll become a pretty big mess and it's hard to imagine much competition in it. Arena ILs would make a lot more sense. Alternatively, don't separate by weapon, or there'll be extremely little competition (and optimisation). Just think about who's gonna fill those 300 spots in the quest leaderboards...

I put Cha-Cha in main category because it's pretty popular. You don't technically reach credits by defeating Ceadeus either. Only a cutscene, but I thought getting to the end credits was kind of rough in MH3U. No one seems to run or route for Ivory Lagi/Credits. I felt putting a category in that was actually feasible was a sensible idea. The ones I currently list in Misc are categories I'm not sure will ever be ran, or at the very least will take a lot of work. If things progress and I don't see the other categories being ran, I'll remove them and move Cha-Cha over to misc. For right now however, I want to draw in our MH fanatics. :P

I suppose the ILs being separated by weapon type was a bit much. I was thinking that as well tbh, so I'll remove those. I'll look in to adding the Arenas. I'll push those near the top if people are going to submit times to them frequently.

Few more changes today, especially to the ILs! ;)

Maybe you should tell about the game's changes in the game forum, not in the speedrunning general forum.
