Everything since Elo purchased speedrun.com.

I sincerely hope this update is a joke because I am now strongly considering deleting my speedrun.com account and just making my own portfolio instead. The fact that Elo just keeps ignoring everyone and doing everything for their own pleasure will continue to turn off more users on this site and it won't be long from now. Please for the love of God, STOP and LISTEN TO US FOR ONCE. No one asked for any of this, and not to mention now we have pointless ads on the sides. We're now far from what used to make this site so charming in the first place, and it's going from infuriating to pure exasperation.

Why fix something that's already fixed? The old layout was just fine, no need to condense it and even add the "news" article because I'm sure ~90% of everyone doesn't remotely care in the slightest. Backing up Timmiluvs on this one.

I am very happy this is now a thing. But how will this affect the leaderboards though? Will there be a 2nd final time added such as "Real Time" or "Time With Loads"?

@ShikenNuggetsShikenNuggets - Ok, thanks in advance. Like I said, I'll be sure to submit my first run then when I do it.

Note: Neither of the moderators on the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance speedrunning leaderboards (speedrun.com/ffta) have been active in a while. From what I've heard, Vallnoir has quit speedrunning back in July 2018, while the other moderator - noxlol, hasn't been to speedrun.com 6 months ago. I would like to apply as a moderator as I am someone who wishes to learn how to speedrun the game and that I'm pretty much online whenever possible.

Regards,
Blitz

I do like the newer style of this layout though are still a few things I have to point out:

- First off, the opacity; there used to be an option where you can make your profile and games have an opacity of 0-100%, but now it's gone.
- splits.io Golds are not highlighted; they're white, just like the other ones.

Otherwise, this a very large step in the right direction and I'm impressed how you took the advice from everyone and decided to make it better. Keep up the good work!

Is there a way to revert back? Please?

One thing I have noticed: The top 3 time symbols are not the Kingdom Hearts crowns, but the speedrun.com original trophy icons.

No Menu%? (Complete the run without ever opening the KH2 menu. If Level 1, equipping No Experience is required and is the only time allowed to open the menu).

Congratulations to everyone who won. I believe all of them will do an incredible job moderating their respective games.

I am completely siding with Jumpy on this one and think a poll should've been made first before this decision was made.

Interesting idea, honestly
But I kinda am to agree with Jumpy, Bash should also then have 4 character categories and not just all 8 in one category.

I am sorry, but I am against the decision of PS4 & PS4 Pro being split. The main reason why is because you should rather invest into speedrunning more rather then just going down the path of least resistance. If you care about a hobby enough to be competitive, you should be ready to invest in it and not make it easier.

I'm gonna have to side with Timmi on this one. Considering the original (PlayStation 2) version for Kingdom Hearts Final Mix has no Level 1 (because no EXP Zero ability) or no Trophies of course (because PSN didn't exist at the time), I'm in favor of merging 2FM, but leaving 1FM & 1FMHD separately.

It's fine. This is because the PlayStation 4's streaming option could cause problems after you have streamed for an hour and some parts of your run/video could be missing. You have to make sure to show your In Game Time (after a final battle, just like in Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories; there are still inputs left in the game where you have a few cutscenes you can skip) in case you want your run to be accepted. This has already been discussed on this thread.

I'm not a KH speedrunner, but I'd just like to throw in my 2 cents.

Any runner who can't have a timer on screen to record (or if without a timer, he can re-stream by using a Media player such as VLC and then put in LiveSplit on OBS) is most likely just lazy to re-stream or does not even care about the KH community or his run. That is all.
