Maryland, USAWould you like to do the run? Go right ahead and you'll see why.
Video is only really needed for world record, you also submitted just an hour ago... be patient.
"Make another board" is an example of posts that have no reason to be made that i'm sure you're aware. There is SMO and SMOCE, that is all we need... You can simply make a google sheet of whatever category ideas you have and treat them the way BlipBlo had said with how BP31 is handling their category, and they quite possibly have a better chance of becoming a category extension rather than just having an idea tossed around continuously with very few runs or none at all to show for it. Iwer, I never said my posts are formatted, someone would of found a way to complain due to how long my serious posts typically are, I know who typically shows up in this forum, this is not what this thread is about anyway.
We have not mentioned anything about the ce policy since this leaderboard was littered with memes, the post above states that we had not used such a thing since the change from smomemes to smoce, I have no clue what you're even talking about. I don't see much of a reason to create a ce policy now with how barely any ideas encourage multiple runs to begin with. Very important to note, we do not reject category ideas, originally in my post at the top of this thread, i mention that THE COMMUNITY is in control, it is based on how the community reacts and responds to the idea (the only times where I or another mod had responded before community posts were when the given "idea" was simply a memepost, this sadly has happened to us many times), and most of the time the community may show interest, but never run the category idea, which prevents us from even considering adding it to the leaderboard. Removing this forum is not an option SRC allows, there is no point, just chill with spamming posts and please think before you post your idea, that is mostly what we originally asked.
People would of called it a "hassle" to read the post anyway however I formatted it because its long... so it doesn't really matter to cut it into parts? The original "ce policy" has been abolished along with smomemes, we just pretty much require runs from multiple users of the given category idea, which is what I said that we never see that, we only see ideas talked about and thrown around and never done by numerous people. Since the change we have no issue adding new upcoming CEs that follow the above. The post yesterday was mainly about the spam/small talk/shitposting that occurs in these specific threads, and i don't want to name names but users like @KilleDragon really need to chill out at times, I have to mention because it's been ongoing and some of these users have been @'ed on the discord server about it but that never fixed it. I also wanted to clear up on this "ce policy" that does not really exist anymore, it's just get other people to run that show a general interest in the idea, otherwise how are we even able to consider adding a category on a leaderboard that requires runs. Also mentioned in that post, bringing up ideas from older threads is fine, just know that they are inactive for a reason unless you have a valid reason to revive them. From both standpoints, we just want the spam and such to chill down, this isn't a place for memes, and please don't expect your idea to automatically appear on the leaderboard because a couple or maybe even multiple people show interest, we want to see runs, our leaderboards have required runs since early 2018.
We are not negating any sort of criticism by locking the thread (I removed my note that mentioned "Stop it." as that was pointless repetition, some of that post wasn't given a 2nd thought I apologize), it was mainly made as general info to make those aware that we don't tolerate the forum spam and shitposting/small talk generated through these category idea threads. If you look at the URL, it is very clearly smoce, it had been changed from smomemes to smoce in September 2018, which we then proceeded to remove numerous categories for good reasons since then up to mid 2019 (see archive post). However, the leaderboard always had "Category Extensions" in its title, it just was never perceived that way until we removed the obvious meme categories. Just because there had not been many to no recent additions doesn't mean we don't wish for any other categories to be created and exist on the board, we never said that, if we didn't care as much about this board now it would of remained the overcrowded meme leaderboard it once was with vacant categories left over for months to a year+ on end which is why at that time the mods would allow whatever users threw at them (meaning the leaderboard was not cared for and moderated as much as it is now) which is the worst way to moderate a leaderboard from my years of experience. The huge majority of ideas thrown around in this forum have their reasons for not gaining traction to be a viable leaderboard category (there is no main category with 5 or less unique runners or whatever category you're talking about?, but anyway recent ideas for categories being thrown around are based on what youtubers create for memes, obtaining less or more of in-game features such as "101%", "Rich%" or the previous "15%" just to name a few that already have sensible categories based on proper in-game completion rather than an arbitrary ruleset these ideas possess, we see user interest at times but we never see runs of said ideas which is clearly the problem to begin with in order to add new categories, sensible goals = longevity of the category, activity will come and go), and that mostly has nothing to do with us, it is based on the reactions of the community that do respond to the idea. Like I said, understand that over the last couple months there had been too many posts by multiple or the same users posting their ideas which lead to one of the mods having to lock or delete them as they would turn into a shitpost thread after receiving negative or meaningless comments about their idea. In the post I mentioned you can post whatever ideas you have in the discord server, this helps prevent notifications being so clogged towards the people who follow this board, some would spam posts and it would become too much at times, we have been notified about this before over this duration of category idea posts so something had to actually be done rather than @ users in the discord server. This has not been a "meme" leaderboard in ages now and we realize some people have yet to move on from that, based on your 3rd sentence it's very evident. Forums are also not a place to meme around a bit, they serve as valuable discussions and information to users. If you wish to meme around about CEs and such, the discord server is there. My post earlier are not requirements or any sort of set "standards" for leaderboard viability, they are meant as recommendations if you wish to share your ideas in this forum, just don't expect to see it on the leaderboard, that seems to be some user's problem.
For the last couple of months we've seen a large amount of users (sometimes the same few) influx this forum with "category ideas" threads which eventually generate memes, small talk, and other likes of unneeded posts. Unless you KNOW the idea will not generate negativity or meaningless comments and the above, do not post it, otherwise we have no choice but to lock or delete the thread. I recommend doing a run of whatever your idea is before you post so it could be a possible confirmation whether or not its worth to bring up (or just post your idea(s) in the discord server to prevent notifications being clogged for multiple users, I look at the #category-extensions chat often, I know what is gaining traction and what isn't to determine if the idea has potential as a category amongst general interest and other runners). Please do not revive old threads unless you have a good reason to/responding with new information to the given idea. If it follows the above paragraph or previously had general interest from numerous players we have no issues with that. The majority of these that are revived are meme ideas that users then proceed to shitpost in which is not the place for a forum.

In The Research Facility 1, it has been well known that the roturret fight skip was possible, but only in NG+ with Meta Knight and Pit (and probably with Snake/R.O.B.). In late December of 2019, I had finally figured out the way to skip the fight with Pikachu, allowing this skip to be performed in Any% and 100%. Time is obviously saved when doing the skip after entering the room, but does lose time to doing the skip again to exit the room due to how we previously activate and complete the fight. Doing the skip twice saves 8 seconds total against an optimal fight and ~5 seconds total against a pause glitch fight. https://streamable.com/5qfof9
The minimal difficulty gap doesn't really make much of a difference, and has no real reason to have such a specific requirement for a category.
That is practically what 9.9 already is, someone can do a run of both 5.0 and 9.9 at the same time. I don't entirely understand what you're asking, but it seems that it would provide inconsistency with the other categories which we would not allow.
A Nuzlocke is a self-made challenge and not fit for a speedrun category.
This was discussed in February when 1.3.0 was released. Use filters.
Well, that's really your only option then, that or a camera.
I would say the same for different subcategories. A majority of them would be completely empty until people run them, and even so, this game is small, I can't see more people picking this game up. Filters are a better fit with the current state of the leaderboard. Filters are quite literally the same as subcategories, just without the cluttering, and the option for people to choose what they would like to filter, whether it would be All or a single monster. Subcategories will be empty and cluttered.
