hey guys! IL standards

happy to see some interest in chocobo racing! i hope we all can keep improving these times.

question: what will be the standard for ILs? i myself love time attacks, but with so many possible "standards," i haven't really officially tried for any real times.

ideas for standard ILs:

  1. SS Invincible w/ Handicap on, any skill - absolute fastest times possible here. fantasia is damn near impossible to not fall off on this one though, as per my attempts.
  2. Any non-hidden/non-created character, no handicap, any skill - sort of a vanilla type of deal, might see some character variety given their strengths.
  3. 100 stat characters, handicap off, dash - not as fast as the first idea, but it will still allow for good dash usage as a skill since dash actually loses speed with SS Invincible. however, puts a sort of minimum-skill since getting 100 on a run could take a few tries.

i feel like ILs should be opened up to an any% style, where as long as you can finish the course, your time is valid. however, i understand if there's a need for distinctions somewhere, but too many will probably not be healthy for the gameplay. so, like a handicap/non-handicap split could be good, or maybe a vanilla characters/hidden and saved characters split could also be good.

also, we should always use the in-game time for obvious reasons.

thanks! i hope to stream and get some story mode runs in here soon, and i'll try to catch anyone streaming to watch!

Hi sorry for the insanely late reply (this site never notifies for these types of posts), I established a really nice IL format, it covers essentially every type of IL currently. Hit me up on my Twitter or somewhere (stream etc) if your interest comes back.
