I don't know how RTA viable that strat is, but that is a cool discovery!

Never underestimate the power of the smug

Game Gear?

I just wanted to say that I like the changes to the board you guys have made. The background image makes perfect sense because we all know Wild Wild West was inspired by Lethal Enforcers. Also, I had no idea there was a SNES port! I hope there are more SNES runs to verify in the future!

Start of character control and end of character control are pretty standard, I think that's what Speed Demo Archives does. Or upon pressing start and fade to black after the final boss/level is another common one. I wouldn't over think it. 😉

You can also consult the rules of the boards of the individual games that make up NWC as well. It might be something the community should help decide.

I just realized that would mean 10 min of Waveryn grinding without dying ConcernFroge.

I would do that casually just not for a speedrun. I think I agree with Shriner and Slack.

The shield info was just an fyi. I agree that I think it's a ok idea, just remember you're making either Pres or Shriner review a longer VOD during to some extra grinding. They've been awesome about turning submissions around, but would need more time for review I'm sure.

Also, remember if you do grind Waveryns like Shriner suggests you'll be at higher level and have less wing boot time.

I seem to remember when I was messing around with armor that even if you have the ointment and you are equipped with a small shield you still take damage from fireballs. When I had the small shield equipped in Mist Tower and the ointment, I was still taking damage from Waveryn fireballs.

Would that mean you want to get all of the armor, weapons, and spells? I agree with PresJPolk it would add a lot of grinding. Would it also mean grinding to Lord level? :-p

It might add some variety for some runners.
