Georgia, USAYou good. I've followed the elite since 2006/7 and even since the dawn of hoarding started with kapap 1 I've never liked it haha. It's just so awful to have someone grind 100 hours for a wr (random example beating timokles Defection 5.23 with a 5.22) just for someone to be like "But Actuualyy I got this 5.21 10 months ago!" Then proceeds to post vid.
Thanks for saying you'll post the vid. You are sick at this game and someday soon I'll get a good controller for the Xbox One S of mine so I can give you something sort of competition for the Any% Agent run.
Please don't hoard any times. The Elite went crazy with that over the years and now it's just gotten out of hand and devolved bad and proved hoarding is not good. Just unload everything you got recorded. While there are in game leaderboards in reality the real leaderboards are the stages with recorded times as it's better to have a board of 100 times with proof then a board of 100000 times with no proof. (I say this while none of Timokles or my ILs are on here. Someday soon I plan to get off my lazy arse and move them over.)
Don't forget that the in game boards aren't gonna last forever. Lets not forget the multiple times the last few years they went down for months at a time not saving any new pb times.
Alright, you have been added. Feel free to submit runs, and verify runs submitted for this game. If you want more categories I will trust you to mention here the best rules and timings for them and I shall add them to a certain point.
Also Vela would you like to moderate this game? I ask assuming you do know how this game operates.
How dare we have lives. Yikes. Sadly I don't have any marbles in the basket of GBC PD but I will use the rules post above to make an any% category. Rules #2 that Vela posted sounds best too me.
I am really sorry to have to do this but I don't think I can verify the run. You have the timer covering almost the entire top part of the screen including the health bar. If there is a way you can redo the editing to make it smaller and even a bit transparent that would be acceptable. Also the timing is from the main menu mission accept as well.
If possible also upload all you IL times you got recorded as well. Slowly we need to move all times with vids to youtube so they can be put on these leaderboards since Rare's leaderboards seem broken with no fix in sight. Also very big GG's for that insane time! Remember to upload to Xbox One since iirc that is the console you play on.
Yeah the only difference between the consoles comes in the form of the controller and the loading speeds which only really matters in full game runs. If you are an IL grinder only then the console won't matter. The newer the console the faster the loads. so in order of slowest to fastest goes as follows. 360-One-S/X-Series S/X.
From investigating and learning information over the years. Xbox 360 controllers are luck based on if they can accomplish full speed or not. I've owned and tested over 20 controllers and only 4 of them were speedrun worthy. From others testing the 3rd party wired afterglow seems to have the best odds but all I've ever tested is first party wireless so we know they have at least a 20% chance at being good. Xbox One controllers seem to get fast on incredibly worn and played controllers but not much more is known about that. Nothing tested too much on the Series controllers except they seem like they could just be the same as Xbox One. They might only work if incredibly played and worn.
As for the main part of your question yeah the majority of runners use the default controls but you can test other styles to comply with how you want to play. I don't think there really is a fastest control style. How to get rid of years of muscle memory is to just force yourself to play the new control style and play nothing but the new control style from now on. Thats really the only way.
I wish you the best of luck getting back into the game.
Not really because there is too many catagories, I mean there is but lol, Dusty hit the nail on the head. there is nothing that can be defined as 100% on stages in this game. Closest thing is unlocking the cheat I guess. But that just goes to a normal run leaderboards anyways.
glitches banned are put in the glitchless full game category rules and each levels banned glitches are already put in each stages rules. The definition of glitchless in speedrunning is varied by community. It is not the same across all games. I.E look at Ocarina of Time glitchless vs other games. OoT has a glitchless category but it's infamous for having many sketchy glitchy looking techniques.
They are separate consoles you can submit your runs as. No input things required but will add a nice touch of authenticity to your emulator runs.
reread my text under the video.
"This vid right here is a good beginners tutorial on how to do the glitch."
It has already helped people to get good at the glitch from starting with the basics shown. So it's not a wasted vid at least.
Feel free to make one for the advanced strats yourself as we do need more tutorials in PDX.
This vid right here is a good beginners tutorial on how to do the glitch.
Reason for no Re;birth 2 all trophies/achievements runs yet is due mainly to 1 trophy. The Stella dungeon master iirc. That alone makes this run go into the possibly close to or way over a days worth of time even in speedrun form.
This topic from the Elite is the closest thing to a guide Perfect Dark has. https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=22532.0 Should have plenty of info to help newer players out
Yeah it's just that no one has tried it. Any runs done on them will be accepted. Usually just the easiest difficulty of almost all games always gets the most attention. So feel free to to a run.
