Greetings all,
Many in the Super Metroid community have been talking for a short while now about making a move from our current record keeping site (deertier.com) to this site. This site offers a number of advantages over the former, but we've also noticed a couple things that we're unable to do currently within the scope of this site's ability.
The primary concern is Ceres Escape times. Ceres escape times are expressed in XX"XX, as the time that's left in the escape sequence in the beginning of the game. From what we've seen so far, there are two issues trying to properly represent this on the site: (2) Times can only be sorted ascending, meaning the lowest time is marked as first place. For this category, we would need to sort the category descending, that is, the highest time is marked as first place.
My questions are, are we missing something and does the capability to perform these two things already exist, or would it be possible to get this custom functionality created on the site somehow?
Another smaller issue is the selection of region for Super Metroid. JP and US ROMs of Super Metroid are the exact same ROM. While JP would technically be the correct answer for selecting the ROM, we feel omitting the US version would be confusing to some people, and would prefer a custom entry for JP/US or something similar instead, combining both regions since they're the same ROM.
Let me know if you need any clarification on what I said.
