Hi everyone, I've just given the leaderboard a bit of a facelift. I've done a few things, such as: added 100% as a category to go alongside any%, changed it so that all runs require verification before being accepted on the leaderboard, and updated the game information such as release date to the correct date. In addition, Julppux has been added as a leaderboard mod.

I've also added a link to the SSX Community Discord server where runners may go to share their runs, ask questions or just chat about SSX in general. Happy running everyone!

Per request, we have a full game category now. It's an any% run going from the start of a fresh character to the "After the Tour" ending cutscene. Does anyone else have any other requests for categories? Thanks!

I'd also like to have this. An any% run starting from a fresh file and ending at the "After the Tour" cutscene, would that be an option?

Could you please change my name to Daggyboi? Thanks in advance!

My TV, which doubles up as a computer monitor, has a power-saving function which I have found no way to turn off after looking through options menus time and time again. When a button on the remote controller has not been pressed for ~4 hours, a message will pop up in the middle of the screen telling me to press a button in the next 5 minutes, or the TV will turn off. When this happens, I can no longer see my character and the environment for about 8 seconds, plenty of time to make a run-ending mistake. The worst thing it's done is kill off a very likely WR in SSX 3 with a couple minutes to go, and a run pace for about 5 seconds less than WR at the time.

Did a glitchless Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) run once, took 11:49h and WR is 9:29h. Longest run I've done more than once (:P) will have to be SSX 3 100%, with 4:40:53h (PB and WR) for all glitches allowed and ~6h for the "clean" ruleset.

Anyone who is considering doing runs of this game, there is now a save file for you to use on the PAL version of SSX 3 on PCSX2. An NTSC equivalent will come soon. Enjoy and best of luck on your runs!

@ Hypnoshark, okay, so you just forgot :P Yeah, 100% on All Mountain is by far the format I want to run, we'll see if we want to decide on a 99% run by leaving out the handplant. Career highlights are things you have to do in the game, for instance: rail 300m on a single rail, get 9 seconds of airtime, get a 100x combo in an event, etc.

To answer a few of your thoughts, first the select warp comment...

If we WERE to ban select warps, it would only be select presses that could be considered an intentional timesave, as in, if you wipe out in a spot that could be considered a normal select warp spot. But, I'm almost certain we're not gonna ban select warps - playing clean is just a choice I personally made because I find it more fun, but it's not going to be in the actual ruleset once we have worked it out. We are still on the fence about allowing everything (wormholes, early exit strats etc) but we will almost certainly not ban select warps.

As for what you think 100% entails, yes, that's correct. Stats are not needed, but it's probably worth it to buy stats. I might be able to pull a 100% with no stats, but I'm almost certain I would save more than the 2 minutes it takes.

Yep, the 425 snowflake run does that, and I guess Big Challenges too - just that the Big Challenge run actually doesn't have a ruleset yet, I will get on making one over Christmas.

A clean run, specifically the All Peak Race, is a run without the following:

Wormholes Intentional selects Early exit strats Lodge glitch And any other glitches that basically aren't how the game was originally intended to be played

If you want to run an All Peak Race w/ select strats, it will become a so-called "glitchless" run. Just fyi. It's not on the scoreboard, but we do have some people who do/have run it, the WR at the moment is 18:42 by Insetik47.

Timing starts at the following:

100% run, snowflake run, big challenge run, all platinum medals: After choosing your character at the character select screen. The instant you press cross, A, or whatever button, you start the timer.

All Peak Race and such: We use the in-game timer. No need for external timer.

Hm. All clothing items? And fully upgrade all stats? When I hear 100%, I instantly think it's 100% on the All Mountain stat chart, therefore: All event medals gold or better, all snowflakes, all big challenges and all career highlights is all that's needed. I mean I guess I'm not opposed to this, but if we're leaving out Big Challenges and career highlights, it won't be 100% on the All Mountain stat chart anymore, which is the primary way the game measures progress.

I have no more to "add", don't personally want to add more demands on top of what the game gives you on the All Mountain stat chart. Thoughts?

I'll mention that to Rithek tomorrow! To me, it sounds like a good idea - I've been doing some runs of this category, but there's no actual leaderboard for it. At the moment, I believe I have the only proper finished run. But it would be really awesome if someone else also got into this. I'm pretty sure we can put up a category for 100% for one character. Thank you for your input!
