1:25:00 cut-off time
New York, USA

recently i submitted a run (without video but at the time that wasnt the rule for console) that was below a 1:25:XX but i had no video evidence, so i had to submit it to the board as a 1:25:00 and it got denied with the eventual answer of "you didnt get a 1:25:00" as in that wasnt my exact time which, after getting mad about, i was fine with. i was fine with it until i was reading another forum run and realized you could turn on seeing emulator runs and an emulator runner by the name of tocruns fell into my exact same situation and was approved (his run that was approved was submitted a day before my run was denied). why is it that his got accepted as a 1:25:00 and mine wasnt even though we fell in the same exact situation?

Get a recording device and console if you want to speedrun. You waste more time arguing about it than actually taking the basic steps to obtain the essential devices that every competitive player has. If you don't want to follow the same standards as everyone else taking the game seriously does, you don't have to be on the leaderboards. Speedrun for fun and stop bothering people about it.

The original idea for cutoff times was to encourage people to submit their first runs and get into climbing the boards while they wait to decide whether they want to take the game seriously or have their devices come in the mail. This was not designed for you to reach 1:25 with no preparation and complain about not letting your runs without proof be accepted on the boards. Leaderboard mods are exhausted from dealing with this immaturity all the time so we've decided to require video proof on all submissions from now on. If you want to participate, do as everyone else does. You aren't special and nobody wants to hear you complain.

Same goes with Toc. Take a look at everyone who bought a console and capture card to run the game. Nothing makes you any different than them. If you want to compete, buy the necessary hardware to play. If you want to play for fun, you shouldn't be worried about having a time on the boards anyway.
