I just checked real quick and there's not a lot of PAL runs, and out of all of them it seems that only two of them are in spanish and the other one in french, which doesn't seem to make the run any different, I'm gonna take a guess and say mods probably don't care enough about language.

Also I would advice you to stop demanding things from mods, you're demanding that they go through every run because some random thing you came with and you give no reason for.

Still the same version, when submitting times you submit it as EUR/PAL regardless of language, I don't think there is even an option to allow users to choose language of the run submitted.

Unless you mean adding different categories for each language, which I also think would be dumb.

Problem with this game is the long animations that you need to see every single time, but there are little things you can do to improve your times like using touch screen instead of moving the cursor, pressing b all the time so the activation prompt doesn't pop up every single time, etc.

Good Luck it gets worse after Grace tbh

Yeah, I checked a lot of guides and all of them are wrong and only get you very confused, but after testing a lot I actually routed the whole game except for the last level, I wanted to document all this info I've gathered about the game but I haven't done it yet. I'll try to do it some time in the future when I have time.

If you're curious about grace, it just so happens that you just need to beat every Spirit 3 times, except for Knospe for some reason. This includes the Penguin, the birdman guy (Forgot his name), Skull Servant and Kairyu-Shin. You can completely ignore Knospe, it's so weird but yeah, that's the way to progress in Grace, meaning that you need to win 12 duels to unlock Vampire Curse.

However, I would be more interested in routing Any% TBH before adding more categories, I've routed this game in the past up to the last level but I have no previous knowledge in speedrunning Yugioh games, so there might be a lot of things I might be missing.

Yeah, I was the one who added the rules and just added placeholder rules because there were no runs for any%, it's just there because I thought it needed to be. If you want to add some rules and have questions about the game I can help

And about new categories, personally I think it would be nice, but no point in adding categories just because, but if you want to run another categori and record a run maybe we can discuss it.

Is that the emulator for android? I don't know, other communities are picky with the emulator choices for GBA games and I doubt that an android emulator would be as accurate as Bizhawk, and since there is no data on emulators for this game I'll avoid answering questions you don't know about, also this post is from a year ago wtf

Just because it's "easier" doesn't mean it's faster, but might be more beginner friendly if that's what you meant. But I'm actually interested to know if there are actual differences between regions, like text speed or something.

Also, if you want your runs removed (For whatever reason lmao) I'm pretty sure you can do it yourself 🙂 no need to be bothering mods

Closest thing I know are meme categories such as these:

If you're asking for ILs, I think it's been discussed a number of times and it's not going to happen.

I recommend it, it's difficult at first but then it starts getting really fun, and it's a short game so it's easy to learn it.

A video and/or splits are not required, but are very heavily suggested. Runs without any sort of proof are up to the moderators’ discretion on whether they are verified or rejected. However, if a video is provided, it must be concise. That is, the video should only contain the run being submitted, and not an entire night’s broadcast for example. The run should start within 30 seconds of the beginning of the video, and the video should end after the credits or after resetting and file checking for the number of exits completed. The video should also contain the game audio. If the video supplied doesn’t meet this criteria your run may be rejected. If you do not have the capability to record video of your speedrun, consider recording your splits and submitting those.

it's on the top of the forums, one of the sticky posts

well I'm sorry that I've never played any randomizer ever

I don't think we can share roms here... as for the randomizer, I found one but I don't know how good it is

honestly just by googling exactly what you're looking for you are gonna find it so easily

There's strategies here for every level in different categories

I still disagree with that for a lot of reasons. Still, don't misunderstand me, I want a category where I can play without worrying about mashing a button 20 times per second as much as everyone else, I just don't think banning WSG is the right way to do it, here is a portion of what I wrote in the poll about this which sums up what I think about "No WSG" categories:

"What I'm trying to say is, if we want to come with categories where WSG is not a thing, we shouldn't ban it, instead we need to make rules that make WSG impossible, for example, low% wouldn't allow WSG because you'll never buy another weapon, "Single Weapon" would not allow WSG because you won't have another weapon to switch to, and this is to me the best approach for this and a category that would be fun to run and watch. By creating these kind of rules we keep the categories concise and not open to different interpretations."

I completely agree with you paisano, WSG is so much in the game and is not even a glitch as we call it, if people want to have non WSG categories that's ok (I kinda like the idea) but it shouldn't be more than a misc category.

Something I wanted to mention is, you could do something similar as Super Mario World 11 exit, they have 3 variables (Glitchless, Orb and Cloud) but they all compete with each other, but still a non WSG would not be valid if by accident you swap weapons while shooting, I think what is considered WSG is too ambiguos to determine if you actually did it or not.

Overall I think WSG is so much into the game that the only way to prevent doing it by accident is not changing weapons at all but that would be a different category.

I'm not gonna lie and say I understand completely how the WSG works but I think it's more of an exploit than a glitch, and it would be such ambiguous rules, like "Remember to not change weapons too fast by accident", if I start with the peashooter and change to spread when I'm close to the boss, wouldn't that count as a "glitch"?

I didn't klnow you can't get the cloud in Wii U! That's a relief, I thought I just was really bad at the game, thanks for the all the info and data, very appreciated 🙂
