Had a look in the Sprash Discord that was linked in the other thread. But it wasnt well organised; Info and tech interspersed with memes, I couldnt really find what I wanted, even in the crash section.

Is there an NST specific Discord I can get an invite too, or some other way of getting the info I know? Im interested in getting all the info I can, gonna try some fullgame runs soon so I dont wanna miss something crucial.

Also dont wanna spam this forum with questions that may end up unanswered. I dont know how active people are here.

Im not in the loop, no real access to discord and been busy last 2 days. Noticed the leaderboards are split. Was this just because of loads or a new skip thats PC exclusive?

So currently there are no competitive times done via PC. But I wanted to get this out of the way before that happens. Obviously load times will be faster on PC, and those times will vary by user. I wanted to know if different PC's had consistent loading times or not.

Obviously if someone were to seriously run the game from PC, there would be no fair way to compete with consoles, as console loading times are always gonna be the same.

While I would like for everyone to be on the same playing field that cant happen, so theres two solutions I think can happen.

1. If PC loading times are similar for most runners we could split PC into a different category, since should any runner on PC take the game seriously, then there is no way for console users to compete.

2. If PC loading times are inconsistent, and even splitting them into their own category would be unfair due to some PC's being superior because theyre objectively better, we could opt to manually remove loading times from all runs, so that these inconsistencies dont matter nearly as much.

We dont need to do this now, as so far PC players havnt really shown much interest in taking the game seriously. But it pays to be prepared.

I also dont know if small things like time to go from the Fatality screen to the outro animation transitions might differ across platforms, but stuff like that is hard to figure out.

Opinions?

Hey, loved the game casually and was interested in potentially running it. I wanted to know if there were any major differences between consoles and PC. I mean like differences that make it very hard to compete in any% with PC (example: a glitch that saves minutes that doesnt work on console or something).

Im okay with minor differences that lose seconds (like having to take a slower route to complete an objective), just referring to stuff like if PC can skip a mission that console cant.

This couldve probably been shorter but I wanted to express exactly what I wanted to know. I hope its not confusing.

Thanks.

This change anything significant?

Im gonna do my first run in a few days so would suck if everything I just learnt gets fixed lol.

I wanted to know how you guys play MK. Do you play for fun online, or with friends offline? Or do you spend every waking hour in practice mode and travel around competing in tournaments?

Im the latter. Been competing in Mortal Kombat and Tekken for nearly a year now. Flying to another state next month for our last major of the year SXC (Souther Cross Championship). Ive placed 13th at BAM (Battle Arena Melbourne) and 13th at OHN (OzHadou Nationals). I am probably the best Ferra Torr player in Australia. I main Ferra Torr (Ruthless), Jason (Unstoppable, Relentless) and Reptile (Nimble).

What about you guys?

Hey. Im trying to do the high jump onto the pipe to go oob on quartu and for some reason the high jump isnt carrying my momentum while on that platform. But it does it fine on the ground.

This happened to me on Batalia as well but I found an alternate solution. Is this a 1.05 thing?

So its been brought to my attention by Joker that rules on skipping fights were not established when the leaderboard was first made. Ive only been a moderator for a few weeks and I definitely didnt think about it. Mostly because skip fight tokens cost real currency. Which would make the run Pay to win, potentially.

Theres the argument that you could keep creating new accounts to get the 3 free tokens but that would make the run far less enjoyable imo.

But im not gonna decide a ruleset purely on my own opinion. I believe it shouldnt be allowed. So for now Ill reject any runs using skip fight tokens and update the rules to include it, mostly because even if it were allowed it would have to be a different category, as those without skip fight tokens would simply be unable to compete. But Joker hold on to that run just in case people speak up in favour of it.

But please, Id love to hear peoples opinions on the topic.

How long should I be waiting without response from a moderator after submitting a run? I mean before I request an admin to do it manually or something. I submitted a run for Mortal Kombat X Traditional tower a few days ago, and messaged the only moderater on both twitch and facebook (as he provided a link to his fb on his twitch page). I have yet to hear back from him.

I know ive read this somewhere before but I cant remember.

So ive been getting really into speedrunning the traditional tower the last few days. Been trying to find ways to make it more consistent.

In the video I cover 3 options.

Option 1 - Is the strat used in the current WR. Option 2 - My attempt to minimise wakeups by keeping them in a full combo instead of 3 uppercuts. Only loses a couple seconds and only real downside is if they break. Option 3 - My attempt at seeing if Cutthroat Kano was any real competition to Blood God. Unfortunately it seems he is too slow. Although I like the idea that he always keeps them standing and at -15. So everything he does is guaranteed and the only thing they can ever do once theyre in the corner is break. So I may revisit that concept.

Hey, just wondering if anyone can tell me what the difference between Mod and Super mod is?

Hey, so my notifications arent going away, you know like so and so beat my run or someone posted in this forum etc.

Ive looked at them, I dont need to see that I have new notifications when I know I dont. Its annoying. I know its a quality of life bug, but is there a way I can get rid of it, thanks.

Discuss, post findings, give updates etc.

Im dumb and cant figure out how to add categories to Individual levels. I just submitted TEMBO THE BADASS ELEPHANT and I started adding stuff to the page. I added any% to the full game categories, but when I created a level, and tried adding any% to level categories it kept telling me any% was already taken. Ive seen other games have any% for both full games and IL's, so what am I missing?

I like forums. I think forums are swell. I know you guys have ur skype chats but I feel like a forum can be a good meeting point for everyone - old and new. Probably used less for tech and more for whats happening but you never know.

Ill be using this almost like a journal while im learning the game. Like today I started getting really consistent at Early flesh sheath and RDS.

Ive got 2 questions for timing on this game.

1. For storymode is there any loading differences between pc and console?

2. For traditional towers the timing posted is the in game timer, correct? Again in case one version loads faster, an it shows up in big numbers at the end.

Also, we gonna have seperate categories for difficulty, or just make everyone play on normal, very easy etc.

I submitted a game in the past and it was approved in 12 hours.

That was before the new submission page was made (which is pretty cool). I submitted a game more than 24 hours ago and it still hasnt been approved. How long on average does it take, and if it gets declined do I get a notification so I can resubmit?

Now that ive got a good 100% run I spent most of today routing 50%. Im gonna attempt a run tomorrow, and im going to be adjusting the route afterwards if I can. Its a run where its 100% for most or RF, any% for most of stockyards - Zulag 1 and then its switching back and forth depending whether or not I need mudokons.

Thought Id make a thread about our streams, where we can find/watch each other. Networking through a forum is slow, so why not try it in real time. Sure, we have that little twitch icon, but that doesnt tell anyone anything about what u stream and when.

Ill go.

Im Shade. I stream this game primarily, every category. I stream IL runs as well as Full speedruns. I even stream Alf's escape sometimes. As for other games Im planning on streaming Mortal Kombat x when it comes out cuz im a huge fighting game nerd. But Ill be playing this as well, routing for 50%.

I start streaming usually around 2-3 pm (GMT+ 10) until around 5pm (GMT +10)

Also, Sam can fill out that stream section with this too right? Double whammy.

Just like the Rf topic, AE discussion will go here.

Im opening this up because Alex from OWI posted a challenge on the forums, mostly for me, but im opening up to all of us. We were asking for something more challenging, and he proposed I beat Alfs escape in under 20 minutes deathless.

Now, weve cleared the 18 minute mark, even the 17 minute mark. But deathless is a different story.

So one of us needs to beat alfs escape deathless in under 20 minutes, record it and send it to JAW.

Challenge accepted.
