"陽翼: hey toad 陽翼: The difference between the American and Japanese versions of the game is that 30 beans can be replenished. The Japanese version has 50 beans to fill up, so I think this should be separated from the list Today, 11:34:44 PM 陽翼: Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu"

I received this message about this game. @Sidetrakkd What do you think? Separate categories?

There is no video that I could find of the listed WR. Does anyone know where that record could be viewed? Also if it is unavailable should the record come down? Thanks.

Hello everyone,

The current WR held by livelyraccoon has all the inputs set normally on a controller but also 2 additionally added inputs again (left and right are added as buttons as well for going across the vines faster).

What are your opinions on this? My first thoughts are this cannot be done on console so right away it should not be allowed. I have no qualms at all with emu usage and controllers as long as they run at the same speed and don't give any obvious advantages (like button mapping twice over for movement speed improvement). I think it's important to keep it as close as possible to how it can be done on console so it's a fair playing ground for everybody which is why turbo is pretty much universally banned.

The problem is if stuff like this gets allowed then it opens a floodgate of possibilities. Mapping L+R to buttons means you can do L+R movement in games and tons of games are broken to all hell with this kind of movement.

Let me know what you all think. I would adamantly push towards not allowing anything like this because it gives a huge advantage to emu users, one that simply can't be done on console.

Hello Metroid runners, I would like to discuss the merit of deathwarps being or not being allowed in a run.

This is a bit of a mix between is Up + A a real category or something of a sub category because its a developer code. Just stating my opinion on this here and am curious what everyone else has to think.

I can't think of a reason to disallow deathwarps on any grounds. It both makes the game faster and is completely doable on one controller and no code or anything else that needs to happen. Deathless is more of a challenge run then a full speedrun in this case since it is not taking advantage of a prime time save, minutes worth of time saves. To me that is an arbitrary rule to make a category longer for no real reason. I know there are some strong feelings against deathwarping and I am curious as to why? From Mega Man to Super C to even Gradius now there are deaths that save seconds to minutes if done correctly and this is, ideally, the fastest way to play said categories.

I know this is a line between Up + A, deathwarps and deathless so the line to draw is a hard one. I am curious to see everyone's opinions on this and as to why the rules are the way they are.

Since twitch decided that vod links should be changed 15 vids were the wrong link (including DK's run). I went ahead and fixed the 13 I could (abestosbear had their channel closed and remzlab has no highlights).

The new zip to fight Hans is really simple: when the elevator door is open simply hold right against the wall and when the door closes you'll get pushed into the fight.

This also brings up separate categories for Zips and Zipless I believe. Just Any% beginner/advanced and zipless beginner/advanced.
