Looks like it is faster to go right path after all.

Left then jump down seems to be even faster by a smidge, but riskier since it's easy to get stuck in the wall or mis the landing.

Hello fellow runners! I will be playing WitchWay (either All Bunnies or All Artefacts) at NoReset's in-person even, Sunday March 12th. https://horaro.noreset.tv/

It will be streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/noresetspeedrun . It's a bilingual event, so a lot of runs will be in French. But I tend to comment my runs in both English and French. You're welcome to bass by in chat and say hi!

I would like to suggest adding IL leaderboards for both Easy and Normal. In some levels we'll be able to grind for strats that we wouldn't do in a full-game runs, and as a nice side-effect it would document the actual up-to-date fastest way to do every single level.

I'm not sure about using IGT (because it's less precise than RTA, and idk if it can be abused by pausing). But I would still record it as a second variable. Btw there's an google sheets document with some IGT times tracked into it. So I think it's safe to say there's an interest :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tC36y0wTov708RAhEC1EMhao_MhnjKxpx9mcihpc_HM/edit#gid=1572477398

Out of safety, I've refrained from using Mesen, and haven't included it as part of the AutoSplitter. But I'm curious what's the official call from BMBU mods concerning Mesen. With this post in mind: https://www.speedrun.com/smb1/thread/5koox

Hey, I'm just wondering why the separate load times option is activated. I can't be the only one bothered by the empty column, am I? ^^"

You can find them in the save file %LOCALAPPDATA%\WitchWay\save.sav. I will eventually provide screenshots to identify their location.

Here are their names and the room name they're found in, in order:

As the title says, I have made a very, very simple and minimal browser extension that allows you to filter out date ranges you don't want to see. Especially useful for older games, or when you want to zoom in onto a cluster of World Records. Hopefully something like this would be part of the site eventually.

I have a pretty simple question: Why is there no true Any% category? One allowing glitches.

There's Any%(Glitchless), Any%(No map) and a few other categories. Meaning a run with glitches has to also abide by a more restrictive category's rules.

It's also worth mentioning that Any%(Glitchless)'s rules don't make any mention of not allowing glitches

8BitisGr8 managed to crush my WR with slightly tighter movement, and especially two new boss skips I,ve never seen before. While the first one is easy enough, 8Bit actually lost a lot of time to the second one with how long it took him to get it.

If anyone has any tips as to a consistent setup, feel free to share.

This game is available on Android and iOS as well. Can we add those platforms? As far as I'm aware the game is the exact same so no need for new categories or anything. Just the option of "Android" and "iOS" for the platform.

Three things I'd like to request changes for:

  1. Adventure is misspelled --> "advanUture"

  2. I'd like to specify in the rules that when beating Zira, you need the required ammount of paws for the difficulty. Or in other words, you need to actually beat the level. Otherwise you don't even get the ending credit, meaning you didn't even beat the game.

  3. Adding an optionnal Playstation model variable. Since different models can run PS1 games at different speeds (namely 90k being faster than 70k and 75k) I think it's a nice information to add on there.

I recorded a run in all language settings (but russian, technical issues), cut everything but the text speeches and here's the result:

In any%, english is the fastest and other than having to type different words in the texts prompts, one notable difference in gameplay is that you don't have to rebuild the hidden option to get the laser in any other language than english.

When going for individual levels, here's the best languages: Intro: Polish / Turkish (turkish is slower by milliseconds) Act 1: Danish Act 1 Boss: Doesn't matter Act 2: ??? Act 2 Desktop: ??? Act 2 Boss: English Act 3: English Act 3 Desktop: Turkish Act 3 Boss: English Final: Doesn't matter

Edit: It also seems that it's not worth it to change language mid-run. Changing languages would need to take less than 2 seconds. Here's my Shortest Path Solver spreadsheet to show that. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4dn2aq7m1mxb0uk/Pony%20Island%20Shortest%20path%20solver.xlsx?dl=0 If you wanna tinker with it, you'll need the https://opensolver.org/ add-in as there are too many cells for Excel's built-in solver.

This game seems to have a 1.0 and a 1.1 version. Is there any known differences between the two?

I created an issue on Github, ( https://github.com/speedruncom/api/issues/45 ) but since I don't know how often you guys actually check on there, I'll make a post here as well.

Some context: I'm making a global leaderboard where a higher position gives more points based on how many people run the game/category/level/etc. (There's a few rules to make sure this system can't be abused, but this is irrelevant to the API)

My problem: I need to do a new request for every player's PB. Wich will make me hit the 100 request/minute really, really fast.

My suggestion: I need the runs returned by "/users/{id}/personal-bests" to also display the ammount of runners along the position of the run or support embed leaderboards so that I can count the runners myself.

This way I could know a run is 5th/23 place in one request instead of having to do a new request for every player's PB.
