I've noticed that 1st and 2nd are off by only some milliseconds. In these cases, it is inaccurate to use the livesplit time (more so than usual) because it is controlled by a human. Retiming these runs to the millisecond could prove the 2nd place to be faster than 1st. So, I've gone ahead and retimed these:

SirSheepe - Time starts at 11.717 and ends at 677.100 at 60 fps to get a final time of 11m 05s 383ms. (using https://mattbraddock.com/yt-frame-timer/)

Magz - This was much more difficult because it was on twitch, but after downloading the video, transcoding it, popping it into a video editor, I got the time 11:05.458.

So while no change in place actually occurred, I would still like to see their times changed to reflect the above

Because:

  • More people care about it (subjective)
  • More interesting to run (any% is like 8 minutes of dialogue)
  • I think it's more the main focus of the game rather than the full thing.

I don't know if the mods here are aware of the setting though. If not, it basically means when you load up the leaderboard from it's default URL (https://www.speedrun.com/minecraft_terra_swoop_force) it shows the "view all" mode of ILs by default rather than the full-game leaderboards.

Heya guys, I've started this discord: https://discord.gg/yGnZthrQ2t recently to house Human Benchmark highscores / leaderboards. I love the site and have wanted a community for it for a while now, decided to make it myself. If you guys are interested, feel free to head over! It's very small atm so I'm trying to spread the word. Thanks guys!

Hey, I just wanted to see if people would like to come speedrun this game. Currently its only me and one other person doing runs of the game, so more people to be involved would be cool!

There's no difference in time between it and the NG+ reverse, so it shouldn't be there imo

Australiadiggity4 years ago

(not sure if I'm the first to notice)

If you select either reverse/hardcore modes in an existing save file and then start a new game, the mode will stay the same even though it hasn't been unlocked (a similar thing can be done in cuphead where you select the expert mode).

Maybe a hardcore run from the start is possible? I haven't tried, but theoretically it is

If I wanted a leaderboard for a demo version of a game, how 'substantial' should it be? As in, how long of a speedrun/how much content? If you get what I mean; I understand the question is quite opinion based arbitrary, but would a run of about 2 minutes be accepted? I assume not, but 5? 10? etc; I know that Deltarune got accepted even though it's technically a demo.

I guess I'm just unclear on the site's stance on "demo's" in general.

Instead of splitting up the IL difficulties using subcategories, maybe split them using categories. That way, we can see all the WRs for every difficulty from the "view all" button instead of having to click into each level. Also, I personally don't like the names Story% and Stage%, maybe replace them both with Any%? Just my suggestions!

Why does it show up sometimes, and doesn't appear the other times?

Ran this for fun lol. Don't think it would fit for a board but wanted to share this anyways

I know this is generally bad practice to do, but I wanted to inquire about my series request. I submitted it on the 13th (it is now the 26th my time) and have been checking it multiple times a day to see if it would get accepted. In the recent wave of games being added, I anticipated mine to finally get through but it didn't. I've waited until about 2 weeks have passes, so I think I have enough of a reason to ask about it.

Australiadiggity5 years ago

should we make a discord or stay like this (oh, and @topiary , there is a run on the south america boards with the platform as Web[Emu] - i dont think it should have emulator checked, can this be fixed?)

Australiadiggity5 years ago

"Submit times in forms of minutes, not seconds." what does this mean exactly?

Australiadiggity5 years ago

I'd like to help organise the board's categories because at the moment the board is quite cluttered. Also, the discord link is invalid. Update that one with a permanent link.

Rules for this board say not to use patch version 1.2.3.0, although according to the top run's Game Version, it was played on 1.2.3.0. (https://www.speedrun.com/Celeste/run/yvgweney)

"Well-known users or moderators of other games in a series may request unreleased games two weeks prior to launch." and "In rare cases, unreleased games may be accepted by well-known users and only at site staff discretion."

How does this work?

  1. What defines well-known?
  2. What video would you submit? ("Please provide a link to a video of your run here:")

First off, sorry about this post, you may not be able to understand it because I do that a lot.

So, I moderate a game with a lot of ILs (cuphead). In the ILs, we have a difficulty filter for the ILs - simple, regular, expert. This would work fine if we had a single subcategory setting set to all ILs - however, the last two bosses don't have a Simple mode. This means that the OG mods had to make a separate subcategory for all 17 other ILs with the 3 difficulties, and the last 2 with the 2 difficulties.

I've seen this similar problem sprouting up in other games and categories that I moderate, but I wanted to finally ask the question because it was gnawing at me. Technically, the way it is right now works but it isn't very efficient. Why was it done that way? Is it some sort of backend issue that would've made it hard to configure differently?

A solution I would do is I would have instead of Level selector drop down, i'd have some sort of way to view a list of all the ILs / categories and a bunch of check boxes, so you can select which category / IL to have the subcategory on. So instead of having the 19 values before, we'd have just two (one with simple/regular/expert and the other with just regular/expert) and just set the levels accordingly.

I don't know the problems associated with creating such a system, or the reasoning behind it but I wanted to ask anyways. Thanks for bothering to read this mess.

I have two main categories; i want to move all the runs from one into the other. I could edit each of the runs individually, but is there a way that I can just move them all in one go? They have the same subcategories, too.

I requested the game Neon Rider but it was rejected without a reason. I tried clicking on the notification, just redirected me to the main page. I'm fine with the game being rejected however I didn't get a reason provided and I'd appreciate being notified about that. For the record, this is what the notification said:

"Your game request of Neon Rider has been rejected. Reason:"
