You can use all characters except for glitched characters. Master Hand. Giga bowser etc

I hope it happens. All Achievements/100% seem like a lot of fun

SAR hasn't been made for Portal Revolution as far as i know. We need to wait for the speedrun community to make it

Yeah it does seem to be the new code called (Required: General Code) that creates the bug. We are planning on keeping Slippi emulators fast loading times for other categories however. Our current plans is to use an older version of Slippi. Our current look is version 1.1.3 on the Slippi Project Github page ->Link<-as that one to my knowledge and testing doesn't have the bugs i listed above but still keeps the fast loading times.

Only issue is we don't know if we should allow all Slippi versions without the character spawn bug or just stick to a singular version of Slippi like 1.1.3. Thing is also we don't really have a way to verify if that specific version is being used other than looking at where the NPCs spawn. At least to my knowledge

Did some more testing and no. No it doesn't. 1.1.3 does not have quicker loading times. Oops

Tried to do some testing on another older version of slippi dolphin. 2.1.0 and it still has the same bugs. Yeah we are stuck again figuring out what to do now

Even if it doesn't get used. Submitting glitches is always smart. Ofc if possible you can do research to see if the glitches you find is already discovered. And to be fair it usually is xD. But yeah thanks for sharing :D

Not at the moment. Think the moderators are currently working on rules and categories. Not sure how the mods will announce when you can submit runs. If you see rules describing when you start and end a run. It's fair to say you are allowed to submit runs.

Also needless to say i am not a moderator for portal but usually there is a post in News saying the leaderboard is open. (Actual mods here can confirm or deny if they will do that or not tho)

Ohh. I see. I tried to use the glitch to fly into the loading zone above. I didn't think of the fact you can just take the elevator still and use the glitch for the other stages xD.

Yeah that becomes kinda saddening then if most if not all stages end up with CFG. So i get the argument.

I assume there won't be a rule for just not preserving CFG through levels either? I guess it would be similar to a no CFG category. Well i am excited to see what the rules become and i am exited to try speedrunning portal again with the new mod :D. Wish the moderators and the community best of luck in finding something that works <3

How is CFG broken in this game exactly? I'm not a pro runner at all but i have only found 2 uses for it. One before the long elevator in chapter 2 and one to skip the 3rd button in final boss

Just wanna add an update as well. to the difference between 50 and 60 Hz. Apparently. 50 Hz makes you walljump higher because of a frame that makes you turn around mid walljump animation

At the start when you launch Bujingai on PAL. You can choose between 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Don't use 50 Hz. Loading times are a lot worse.

I made an →edited← and →Unedited← version to show what i mean

I mean depends on what you mean by reasonable but i guess Ebay or Amazon. However i don't know how it is where you live. But we in Norway have this site called Finn where you can sell and buy products inside your country. So if you have something similar. Try using that.

For some reason the trick doesn't work anymore. Something to do with you getting a bigger walljump. But no clue how.

Still possible tho. Just don't do the triangle attack

Pretty easy glitch. Just press the Triangle button when you pass the white line and hold X. You don't have to attack like i did in the video

New skip discovered for Unholy Mountain

I was playing around in Makutsuin and i found a way to skip the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor. Idk if it has already been discovered but i didn't see it in either of the runs.

They are added :D. Thank you for mentioning it :DD

Yeah having IL's would be fun for V2. I should work on that :D

I hate to immediately take back rules that was made a week ago xD.

Sadly the decision we made with Hyrule Code and UCF was made extremely quickly by us moderators. So those will be removed and instead be kept in either Category extensions or a separate sub category to the regular Adventure mode.

However some pretty good news. For the longest time. Our Melee Discord and Speedrun.com has taken different routes when it comes to submissions and ruleset. We have finally decided to team up and create a better ruleset that are a lot less strict. Mainly Emulation use. So a lot of rejected runs because of emulation rules will be looked over again.

Neither SRC nor the Stadium Discord has a fully updated ruleset. But we are currently working on making one.

This might also mean more potential categories for Category Extensions as well. Tho we don't have much set as of yet.

We hope you understand our mistake of a ruleset a week ago and are excited for a better more flexible ruleset.

Thank you all <3

In order to make the Adventure mode category more fun and less reset heavy. We have decided to allow the use of the Forced Triforce Room Location code, otherwise known as Hyrule Code. So for every run you submit to Adventure mode. You have to specify if you used Hyrule Code or Not. All runs prior to the change has been automatically set to "No hyrule code used" unless we know that the code was used.

We have also allowed the use of Universal Controller Fix (UCF) in all categories. But we figured it makes such a little change in gameplay that you won't have to specify if you used it or not.

Apologies for not seeing your post earlier. Apparently speedrun.com doesn't announce when a post is made.

1: That could be an interesting category to work on to have you sit through every single character. I do believe IGT for every character would be really tedious. Not only for the verifiers but for the runners themselves retiming the entire run. Also i might be mistaken here but if i remember correctly. Doesn't it give you some form of a checkmark on the 1-P mode menu when you beat every character? Like if you beat every character on Very Easy. You get a little blue circle next to the highscore? If so then we can use that to verify that you beat the entire cast of characters. Then you can start runs after Erasing the 1-P High Score tab. I am not sure if the category will be added as i have no clue if more than say 2 people would run it. But it is a good idea.

2: I don't really have an explanation why they look different as i was not here when it started. We could add that but i feel like it would look rather weird. Since the criteria for the Full Game and IL would technically be the same. Beat Classic as fast as possible. The only difference would be how it looks. I do see the appeal tho. Being able to compare only Fox or Marth runs so it doesn't get hidden behind the one character you did that was the fastest is a nice thought. One question i would have then is how would we treat the difference between the full game one and the IL one. Would we keep them both and just have the IL one as a nicer layout to the original one. Or would we add the potential Full Character category and have individual characters as IL like we do for Target Test and Events. The big issue with the last one is we would most likely have to change the main leaderboard as well then and that would take ages with the amount of runs that are there. Plus we could easily loose some of the runs.

I do appreciate you coming up with ideas tho and i agree that it would look a lot better and make it a lot more fun to run with every character
