so you say audio and mic only. Does that also mean u have to have a mic or u can still play without one, probably a dumb question but just wanna double check

seperating jp due to differences isnt an uncommon thing in speedrunning tho. Same as playing the fastest version. You wanna play the fastest version play on the jp category if u want but just keeping the together still gives other's an unfair advantage even if its obtainable, not everyone has the money to play the fastest version. I've been saying this for a while. For people wanting to be competitive in this game they would eventually have to buy the jp version just due the fact it's faster. Just because people hastily bought the jp version shouldn't mean u should hesitate to change it is all im saying. Adding time or just making it a separate is the best solution. Plus someone that runs the jp version even agreed adding time is the best solution, like what more do you want.

so i was wondering if anyone here knows if the ps4 version has the glitches patched out or no

so i posted this on the discord but i don't know if everyone is on the discord but i had this happen to me and was wondering if anyone could tell me why this happened?

@gymfreak739 no it just says new categories so pretty much means main misc or even meme runs or even fun runs. The kind of run doesn't matter. Anyway i still do stand on the fact there should be master sword run.

well i guess i don't understand how the yuffie warp works then? im kinda confused lol

hello, so im looking into doing speedruns of the pc any% and having trouble finding where i could get saves for the run or do i have to make them myself? If that's the case anyone willing to help me out with that?

fine w/e didn't enjoy the run anyway have fun then

also i didn't say separate categories i said just add 15 seconds so it evens the playing field

for console it probably is idk bout pc

that's interesting how far did u have to back up to do that because everytime i tried that it wouldnt work

this has already been seen before and has been attempted to be replicated many times on top it's not related to just the jp version it happen on a English version, all we know is it just happens and our only guess is it's fault hardware

alright cool just wondering

So is there any differences on the version your using or are they all about the same?

were not "making them suffer" were just taking away there handicap so were on even playing field why is that hard to ask for? Playing on the fastest version isn't new yes that's true, so we gotta burn 60 bucks for another copy of a game just to be competitive? I don't see how that's fair to the rest of the world. You guys don't seem to understand that a money barrier in a in the speedrunning community is a real thing. People already paid there money for the copy and now ur telling me i have to put more money towards ANOTHER copy of the game just because the jp people got the fastest version? Has it sunk in yet? People don't just have 60 bucks to throw away to this hobby, hell some people probably spent there only spare cash they had to get this game and want to get into speedrunning this game and now ur telling them "sorry u gotta pay another 60 dollars to be competitive" Just because the jp version cuts 15 seconds on it and who know's what else maybe. So adding 15 seconds to the jp version isn't gonna hurt jp users it just takes the handicap they get away is all. Which makes it fair to everyone

you also know that the RE games don't run on the jp version they run on the Chinese version for 1, and 2 you can easily get the RE1, RE2, or RE3 chinese version on pc for free so u can be competitive. I don't think you get it, if your paying for anything that's no required it's considered pay to win and it makes for an unfair advantage. What's next were gonna allow console user to use equipment to use mouse and keyboard and we lock the WR behind more money? You get where im going with this yet? So again either adding 15 seconds to the jp version or making it a different category is only fair to the rest of us. If u wanna drop 60 bucks for it but be my guest but as a console runner im gonna fight for this reason just as everyone else that's a console runner on this forum

most games that u have to pay to get the best version usually has some a difference categories. Games like zelda or hell any Nintendo game for that matter is easy to get your hands on a copy of jp version due to the fact of how easy it is to just soft mod your wii then get jp wad versions. On the other hand games where u can't do something like that usually has the categories separated due to the time differences.

Also jp doesn't run by different rules they follow the same rules as us the only reason jp doesn't have turbo banned is because it came with jp ps2 consoles, that's what i've heard at least. If jp followed different rules that means everyone around the world would have different rule sets. Jp is only different when it comes to time.

on one final note why this should be changed; it's just like gilgamesh said were pretty much gonna be locked to having to use the jp version just so we can be competitive and that comes back around to how turbo makes for an unfair advantage and pretty much forces u to pay to win. That's why jp versions of games are separated on most games

so maybe it's because i'm a runner of older games, but here's a better example to show u why it doesn't seem fair.

i'm a FFT speedrunner and turbo is globally banned unless it's the jp version (yea idk either) or it's accepted threw the whole community because at that point its considered pay to win. So if i have to drop another 60 bucks just to be competitive that's not fair to me. Why do i have to pay 60 bucks just be in the top 5 of speedrunners. case in point im basically paying to win and that's not fair to 90% of the RE7 runners just because one region of the game is faster. So im actually for either adding time to JP version or making the JP versions it's own category. I get where your coming from saying that it doesn't make a difference but in a game where every second matter 15 seconds is a huge deal. All i gotta say.

what about a all bosses run, basicly have to beat all bosses including any secret bosses

also there should be a master sword run pretty much where u do a run up to the master sword, main reason i say that is kinda like a traditional run

has anyone actually try saving then retrying after u save? Just a thought, probably already done but everytime i see people pop back into bound no one attempts that

i mean if it's a big hassle don't worry about it, i can run it on my own, i just wanted to see if such a thing would be possible if not, no harm done like i said before if u guys say no im not worried about it
