one of the runs of all time, absolutely

apparently at least 42 seconds

impressive optimization!

level 15 indeed too powerful (seriously, application of this makes it probably the biggest wildcard in the run now, I know because I did try to do it at one point)

Uhhh... so yeah, I forgot to mention that in the original thread and it might be worthy of its own. The in-game timer which gives you its result at the end of the level is... of ambiguous results. It always seemed kind of wonky, but with your improvements a new... bug appeared. It seems when you go below what would in previous runs be around "4 minutes", now with improved runs, loops back again to "4 minutes".

For a better visual, ChargedSquid's RTA 5:16 was IGT 4:08, however his RTA 5:05 is suddenly IGT 4:57. It seems it looped back (and in doing so, got closer to the real time for some reason).

With this I'm thinking of either 'manually' amending this 'error' (?) to say 3:57 and so on. Alternatively I could do it the other way around where I amend runs over RTA ~5:10 and all the times would match better. I could also leave it as it is or remove IGT entirely. What do you guys think?

That are reasonable points, I'll leave it as it is then it seems. Regardless of popularity I still wouldn't mind adding 100% anyway, just for some variety, but yeah the criteria are rather vague so for now I'll withdraw that one.

(And also, of course Blazy_dude, I'm retiming each run by myself, which as a note, due to a weird technicality of my retiming method, would actually be easier if ChargedSquid were not to cut their runs so early.)

Hello, I hope both of you Blazy_dude and ChargedSquid see this. I'm quite impressed by both of your improvements to the speedrun of Alter since its... humble starts with me, but I can't deny I see something funny going on.

It's obvious you've both incorporated a strategy of vertically shortening the window of the game on FlashPlayer in order to engage in the conversation earlier than normally possible. I'm not going to disallow that of course, but I am wondering about dividing the category into one which allows this, as FlashPlayer seems the only possible way to play the game as of now, but also have a category which preserves the web spirit of the game by either forcing a specific aspect ratio or ignoring the outside content if not. I was hoping to get your comment on it, what do you think about it.

I'm also thinking of maybe even creating a 100% category once I figure out what that would actually entail (I've never completed the side quests personally).

So guys, whatcha think?

Oh, my bad YUMmy_Bacon5, I should've made that clear but it's in the first link.

"The tournament will either be single elimination best of 3 or double elimination best of 2 depending on number of entrants.", essentially like sport tournaments until a 1v1 finale

for additional clarification, this is a beginners only, no players who have been competitively speedrunning it will partake outside hosting and commentary

My friend MothFan48 will be hosting a special one off event: Awakening the Cubob, winner gets a £50 steam code. I will co-host. It'll be a speedrunning focused event for this webgame Cubob. You have until 18th of Dec to prepare. More Details and Open Registry: https://atcfgc.challonge.com/ATCUBOB Guide to the Game: Src of Cubob: https://www.speedrun.com/cubob Discord of Cubob: https://discord.gg/yMhfEYvuJd

You are not expected to know this game, it is a very minor flash game from 2011 which saw limited usage on many webgame hosting websites. The tournament will be done from discord of Awakening the Chaos and livestreamed on MothFan48's twitch. Feel free to DM me or MothFan48.

Edit: we absolutely forgot to open registry in the first few hours, this was awkward

closer and closer to the mythical barrier

nice

funfact, you can now comment on people's speedruns!

due to the unreliable nature of measuring time based on video footage, especially in those frame-perfect levels, I had to delete all the Individual Level leaderboards.

From now on all IL runs need to be played on a version of the game with an in-game timer available in the resources

Additionally for verification purposes it is advised to do the IL runs from a restart rather than the level menu selection.

just mod me and I'll do it, and fix the leaderboard too, I'm used to doing stuff like this

I have realized of the easier 29 later, and for 24, idk

I once did it, what's your best?

you are a Super Mod, aren't you in power to change it? (as well as remove the meaningless here, different regions like USA or Brazil)

how can I download this game on a PC, as it says here, it's available on PC and Web
