Well if this 1 dev stated that he should just have that in the game already without putting that as an assist option. So, there is no need to have that in the first place and the multi home set is already there. Like I said any run that has assist option = unrestricted run.

Like "Standard XP gain" = XP increase option ban and enhanced home point and minigame skip are allowed BUT like that argument that has happen, you just went against it and saying that is "not allow" just because you're a mod. So having Minigame skip ban then Enhanced home point is not allowed either. Just saying, I don't see the point about not allowing minigame skip.

Again, Enhanced home point is in Assist option. If that is turned on means unrestricted run.
If Enhanced home point was already built in the game and it's NOT in the assist option, then that is a standard run.

I'm not sure if I heard this somewhere from my twitch friends told me what happen or in Discord where they heard and told me. The reason dev added the enhanced home point IN THE ASSIST OPTION is because some players start to complain and cry about it that they have travel ALL the way back and and walk ALL the way there and this a boohoo that when it first came out. For that reason, you have that tiny crystal to teleport you (the mar, mercury, Callisto item). It like how they still complain and cry the bosses are too hard for them at their first death at the 3rd or 4th boss on Normal/hard mode... Even on Easy mode they cry about it LOL

Shrug So my point is, Enhanced home point is in assist option and should be unresticted run. Just like Minigame skip that you point out and XP,LP,Gold boost are unrestricted.

I think I went overboard typing this long LOL

In any% Standard, why "multiple home set" is allowed and the XP and minigame skip are banned? I mean allowing multiple home set is not standard. Should be in Any% unrestricted category. I can see the point what I'm reading here but anything that is using the "assist option" is Any% unrestricted.

Is English translated patch allowed? Just wondering since I can't understand Japanese unless I can use English patch to practice then speedrun as JP. Reason I asked is, because the character soccer player's names that I can not read who is who.

I don't know. If the community of this game like that idea of adding this kind of category. Us mods can discuss about that to agree on adding it.

A runner that was practicing this for Big20 and wondered is this has been known. I've never seen this before or happened to me and others.

If you have any idea what or why it softlocks. He said that he just walked there and boss fight music just started and never spawned in.

The only difference in these both version is less text and nothing else. If the JP version has less enemies than US version on gold dragons or blue dragon has the boss with less HP ( just like Gold dragon) Then yes, that would be in separate category. For example Tom & Jerry. JP mode has less spikes and few other thing as US versions have lots of spike and harder. They separate that into 2 categories.

This game doesn't need separation. It just only text difference and it's less text in JP than English.

Any% IS 1p2c which is 1 person doing 2player mode. As for Any% one player is only in 1 player. Why would you want to put "1p2c" and "one player" all together in any% ? Unless I'm reading the title incorrectly.

The freezer (Inside) shouldn't take that long in text. If I'm not mistaken, it's only have 5 or 6 lines. 3 then 2 or other way around but if J version has much less then IDK. I mean if the length is fading out after the cutscene is the same I don't see why separate them unless you want to make it fair so it won't force everyone to do J version only in one tab category that eliminate all the US version.

I've been meaning to re-learn and practice this full game again. So I can put my time in the leaderboard someday....and somehow to get me motivated.

Ok. Thanks for the response

Was wondering if there is a way to submit the run for MedianXL version in this leaderboard. Is it possible? I'm learning to run this and hoping to submit it sometime soon once I learn them to make a official run.

Not much of the RNG manipulation. Mostly but not ALWAYS 100% on the 1st stage can be manipulated to stay the same as usual. From 2nd stage and after, will be a reset-fest till you get the right manipulation you wanted. For instance: The first cave level you fall down at the start. The first door you destroy, the one under the pipe platform after you jump over those 2 pits, is the only one door that needs to manipulate to get the goonies to spawn. If you're going for the skip. If not skipping the stage, you might want the goonies last on the way to exit, if you can get the keys on first screen and nearby the doors and on the way to get the last goonies before heading to next stage.

If I remember I made a grid of the items and goonies that spawn to know which one is which in each door location. I think I still have it....somewhere.

Do they have this game in English? If they do have a patch ROM that can be read in English, I would love to play and learn this game to speedrun it

When I tried to play tMoS blind, it keeps resetting me every single time for like 20 to 45 minutes of gameplay. I can't find a single ROM that doesn't do that and I feel like I want to speedrun this after beat this game blind. So.,...does someone has a ROM that doesn't reset on it owns every single times???? Thanks.

Shoot thru walls....Hmmmm..... I'm having a feeling there something you can funny glitch thru faster that is similar to Blaster Master PAL.

I'm not saying that. It how I read it from that interpretation but realize you said " MrPupG should hold first place time" because you thought other are using turbo.

Yea, PAL and NTSC seems to have the difference. I have to check if PAL is slow or just too much lag in there that makes it too slow. If I'm not mistaken, PAL runs at 50 as NTSC runs at 60

Sounds like you guys are saying I'm a crappy speedrunner that can't mash fast. I'm pretty much mashing really fast there in my run but my finger were killing me as I'm trying to get close to sub 15. On top of that, those above me, they weren't even using turbo. I'm pretty sure they never use them but there one or 2 that I just met and don't know anything about them.

I ran glitchless and I think I split at when I pressed the button on behemoth or a bit later so they can framecount it what the exact time. It's better to split a bit after the last action ( Pressed a button with a staff on Behemoth).

Hyper is the first weapon you pick up in vanilla. I think it increase a bit more damage. As the gatekeeper you couldn't inflict any damage without it and cannot break the block passage either.

In area 5 can be risky with no crusher if you don't have hyper. If the first dungeon in that tunnel in the water is not the real path to the boss, then simply door wrap it to bypass that impassable block below but you have to deathwarp it if the item is not hyper or crusher once you find the real dungeon, if there none of these there 1 or 2 more but you need dive and crushed to get pass that.

If you have no wall or hover in area 4, you can still get around it if you don't go DEEPER in the stage. I happen to see that too when I got to area 6 with only 3 items and had no hyper and crusher. I had to rethink (without moving forward) and picture every places as I remember in the map that are impassable to break thru the blocks. I was like "Oh crap! Area 6...I can't get thru the level without the crusher with hyper.....Oh wait! I can but it'll stop me from there and dungeons are randomize where that is open to you." There is so many possible thing you have to rethink if you played this casually before you've thought to learn to speedrun it.
