Can we add the Hyrule Triforce position code into resources?

I can provide both action replay + gecko + file for Gecko/Nintendont on the Wii and the original smashboards link

I still feel like it should be allowed because running it without the code is so awful and doesn't change the run at all outside of just reset count

The VH Adventure WR already uses hyrule code and I just massively improved by VE pb by 7s

I'm completely fine with adding another column to speedrun.com to say if they used the code or not (like sunshine with hacked file)

Arguments For:

• More friendly for runners
• Higher Skill Ceiling
• Saves tons of real life time
• Way more enjoyable to watch + do
• Doesn't change the run at all, would be the same with the RNG (it's a reset in both VE and VH if you are going for world record with perfect RNG)
• Really easy to add the code on Dolphin

Arguments Against:

• Legitimacy
• Setting up gecko/action replay can be annoying for Wii/Gamecube

Can we please separate the difficulties on the leaderboard?

Weak is obviously not the same run as brutal difficulty

Silo_Simon submitted a time that is 7:12 faster than my pb

I checked his video today for the first time after finding out you can skip cutscenes if you DO NOT have a fresh save file

so this means that he didn't use a fresh save file and skipped every cutscene in the game by using an already completed file (all victory bowser fights and unlocking bowser stage)

I calculated the time differences from our runs

My Run : 4:55:45

+0:32 Start timer difference -1:21 Space Land Cutscene -1:29 Mystery Land Cutscene -1:23 Horror Land Cutscene -1:12 Pirate Land Cutscene -1:09 Western Land Cutscene -0:10 Stage Unlock Cutscene -1:26 86 Bowser Land Cutscene

• 7:38 Total (All Cutscenes - Starting time difference)

  4:55:45 My PB

• 7:38:00 Final Time: 4:48:07

Which is 26 faster than Silo_Simon's time if you follow his weird ruleset of not having a fresh file and skip all cutscenes

I feel dissapointed in the moderation of the melee speedrunning section on speedrun.com recently

An easy example of why im dissapointed if you look at this

http://www.speedrun.com/ssbm#Classic_-_Very_Easy

its clear that Lykon is using something that gives faster loading, there is no way that his time is 11 seconds faster than mine when I was playing for like 6 seconds max with Ganondorf with 1/2 second stage clears. Nearly every single stage in his video is slower than my PB.

His quality is really bad on his video and states that it is on US Gamecube but I fully don't believe this.

This isn't the first time this has happened too
