You can only skip dialogue that way on an existing file, not on a new one unfortunately.

There will most likely be some kind of restricted category added later on. We’ve been discussing it since the hover was found, but haven’t decided on anything yet. Personally, I’d think an “all main objectives” category would be the best option.

I also have a question about all tracks. Since the 20th and final track is the diamond cup you need super excite unlocked before the run. The grade requirements are different between regular excite and super excite. So could I theoretically get B/S ranks in the regular excite tracks instead of in super excite then just play the diamond cup to finish the run or do I have to play all of the tracks in super excite?

It depends on if we’re talking about console or PC, but I assume it’s PC. My Switch time would be like low 1:4x/high 1:3x IGT or something without it, so you can still get at least a half decent time.

For the "glitchless" subcategory, there's no specification of what is considered to be a glitch. My idea of "glitchless" is to play through all of the missions in order, without doing anything that would result in a sequence break. We should come up with a specific ruleset for this sometime soon.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this game was already on the website. I had a different approach when I first thought about speedrunning this though. My idea was to time how fast I could tame a certain number of animals from a new file (utilizing time abuse). For example, I ran “20 Animals Tamed,” and got a 29:53. I should clarify that this means 20 different species. Would this be a good addition to the board?

Edit: to show what this run would look like, I recorded a Pb in 20 animals (27:01 no ads)

You can't friend someone to do the run with, must be single player.

The reason why the second spin may not be working is because not enough time has passed from the first spin to the second spin. The jump/spin spacing is definitely tricky to get down at first but it’ll get easier. The second problem you’re probably simply waiting too long to jump the first time and falling, and the third problem you might be using your second jump to early, which would also cause the second spin to not come out.

Hope some of this helps!

We could do that, but that would exclude Eden so I’m not sure how that would work. Would it end around the same time the Candle Wax category ends?

Judging people’s interests is the lowest of the low. Go find something else to do with your life.

The decision has been made to ban home warping in ILs. In 7 days we will remove runs using home warping, so you’ll have 7 days to record a run where home warping isn’t used. These runs will be verified once all the home warping runs are taken care of.

I would say that a near 6 minute difference in loads alone is a pretty significant difference in gameplay. Besides, there are some Switch exclusive strats if played on 1.00 aren't there?

I was curious what the timing difference was from the Wr in console edition (Xbox One S) To my run (Nintendo Switch), so I timed the loads from the start to entering Jellyfish Fields. Just from the loads alone, they saved nearly half a minute over me from the start. This gives players on other consoles an overwhelming disadvantage. I'd like to ask, would there be a chance of having IGT timing for consoles or perhaps sub-categories for different consoles?

You can choose the timing for Eden in a full game run, I just have my splits, I split Eden when I turn into a spirit.

Sorry, forgot to set invite settings to permanent, it’s updated now.

In case you haven't seen it already, we've made a speedrunning discord for Sky, come join if you're interested! https://discord.gg/kaDA27u

I can get it inconsistently, you just have to jump between the gap in the window and the wall and hope you clip in (at least that’s what I do).

Timing starts when the screen goes white, not when hitting skip. In the any% category it starts when you activate the opening cutscene.

I have splits, but only for the 7 realms (and afterlife).

I don’t believe there’s a way to add a timer to the video on ipad, I added my timer by using OBS. Also if it’s not accurate Aztecc you can use the retimer in the resources.
