Hi! I want to submit a run for Megaman Zero 4 (for the GBA), but the game isn't on the listing. I tried to request it, but it says that there must be a run that has already been made/recorded. I speedran the game, but wasn't able to record it. Am I still able to request the game? Or do I have to record it first? (My time was 1h,14m,45s,96ms)
The Mega Man leaderboards aren't here at request of the runners at Mega Man RTA Leaderboards. You can submit your run over at http://megamanleaderboards.net/index.php?game=28 .
This thing with off-site leaderboards always bothered me. Why can people on another site just tell us what leaderboards we can have? They don't own the concept of a Mega Man leaderboard or anything. If individual runners don't want their runs here, fine, but people on this site should be free to create any leaderboard they want (if the game itself is eligible of course).
Please don't start this discussion again. Some other sites don't like the idea of duplicate leaderboards with different times. And different moderators that don't follow the same ruleset. This will get runs into the leaderboards that one would and the other wont accept. And stuff like that. This discussion has been done before and imho we should respect the other sites and don't be hateful about it. The goal of speedrun.com is trying to become complete. but ideas how to make both sides happy are always welcome.
@FurryWulfz that idea has been proposed allready. It hasn't been made yet thou. Also what token is saying. (y)
Yeah, I'd love it if there was some list (with links, ideally) of games that don't have leaderboards here. (Maybe there already is?) It took me a long ass time to figure out that there was no leaderboard for regular ole' Super Metroid here. I think that would solve all problems, particularly if entering an excluded game into the search bar could bring up that list.
Kirkq is currently at SGDQ, and he's the one treating these requests. You may have to wait a bit more unless another admin manages this.
Only people with the admin status can approve games, so there's 4 of them. However, everyone in the admins team has their own tasks and it's kirkq's job to do this one. I can still ask someone else to do it but everyone's pretty busy with the new site release and all the bugs that come along with it.
