All Cups Itemless ? It would be fun, of course... But it isn't possible. MK7 doesn't have VS mode for Single Player :v

And 100% requires to reset the save, which is impossible... :/

I am originally from the Pokémon community as JT is. It's true that everyone needs a video proof for every single run, even for a 10h run in Red which would be a terrible time. My first ORAS run (4h02, nearly 1 hour behind BT) got rejected even with splits, because I didn't have a video proof for it. I completely agree with the fact that a 3DS Capture Card is a waste of money if the only thing you use it for is MK7 runs. But come on, just turn on your brain for one second... -_- Some people here are thinking a video request is stupid. Isn't it stupid for Pokémon too then ? So why are Pokémon speedrunners ok with this rule ? Take a look at what happened in the Pokémon community when Exarion came out of nowhere 2 years ago with a new BT, beating Werster (who was the best Pokémon speedrunner at that time) and his great 1h51 : http://forums.pokemonspeedruns.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=283 . Even with a video, almost everyone thought it was a TAS. Even a video proof wasn't enough for preventing people from being suspicious about a new BT. So, how not to be suspicious, at least for a second, when you see someone coming only with splits to take 1st place ?

I know everyone here trust the others' times without the need of a video, because it has always been working this way. Organizing shiny hunting competitions also learned me to trust the other members of a community based on a simple picture of a (3)DS/GBA screen. But with that kind of reasoning, some random guy can come, sumbit a run with bad splits, some other runs with better splits, and finally a 20 seconds improvement of BT with splits that save 2 or 3 seconds on every Cup, without even having played the game a single time in his entire life.

Nobody wants anyone here to stop trusting other runners based on their splits. JT only wanted mods to start requiring a video proof for NEW BT's, when some here are thinking "lol that guy asks us to remove all times without video so his recorded time that is bad becomes BT and we have to pay $250 for a Capture Card to be able to appear on the leaderboard again". Don't be that stupid.

PS : Talking about mods... Lafungo, King, if you read this when you get back, can you give someone a sword please ? 3 weeks are a bit long of a waiting time for a run to be validated... (I don't ask for mod, validate my own runs is something I don't want to do for obvious reasons) I know everyone needs to rest at some point, but someone should be able to validate new runs when both of you take a break :v

"Sorry it took so long to get back" Don't worry, I submitted a MK7 run 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for it to be validated Kappa Everybody needs a break at some point :)

And, thanks for adding the new IL leaderboards ^^ I think there are still some others missing from later areas but we'll tell you in our run comments if it happens :P About proofs and confirmation, we're only 3 to run this so far, and being part of a shiny hunting community learned me to trust the other members, and obviously here being suspicious can only have negative effects. There's no problem on my side ;)

Pokehero, as you can see if you watch the vid, my Manaphy 0:59 is absolutely NOT optimized (and I won't get back to it until I completed a run of every single area). I think sub 30 is possible, and sub 40 is for sure :D

I already asked if Manaphy had its leaderboard after my Area02 run, but it seems that mythical Pokémon (Manaphy, Celebi etc, marked with a !), Pokémon from password levels (Ash-Greninja, Mew and the 2 new Zygarde forms) and most of legendaries don't have one...

For the verification, you can still see the Pokémon you used on top screen when "Finish" pops up on bottom screen. Maybe we should change the proof requirements for ILs to a double-screen pic when Pokémon are still visible...?
