I could not find any codes for this version of the game, so I made some: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14pMAVHwS2ghTxHXdoZ_Ilc_JvyubJ5SRiev10feY9I4/edit?usp=sharing Anyone can contribute. This goes without saying: don't delete everything or spam.

I'm hoping this will help runners practice on this version, as it could be the one used in runs now?

How to use:

1. https://github.com/BullyWiiPlaza/JGeckoU/ (look at "What are the necessary steps to connect?", and "How do I run this tool?"--"installing" is temporary until reboot)
2. Press "Add Code"
3. Paste code and add title and stuff
4. Select codes
5. Press "Send Codes"

Look at "Info" at the very end if you want to start searching for stuff.

When runs are so close to within a second, it only makes sense to add milliseconds to be fair to the runners. If a runner can play faster by 100ms, then that runner deserves WR.

Look at this example: https://www.speedrun.com/Choppy_Orc#Any

I'm going to be brief here. I think it would be beneficial to add milliseconds to the leader board; the runs are all too close together. Rounding to seconds isn't fair to the runners.

This is 100% times: camelogical: 02:39.77 relieved: 02:39.70 thebronzesword: 02:39.23 speedrunner (who is currently awaiting verification): 02:38.9

It's pretty clear speedrunner should be first, thebronzesword second, and relived third (camelogical should be removed from the leader board because his runs doesn't follow the rules; stage is 11 at the end)

I'll let a super mod make the final decision.

thanks.. i think the leader boards is good enough now.

ok.. so now that I'm a mod does that mean the mods agree with me and want me to do all the work??

also do we have faster way of communicating; like a discord group..

I guess you could also add a Category "Reach the Goal, NG+" where you can use end game stuff like the path.

Hello, all I think this leaderboard needs improvement. At the end of the post I'll post reasons and stuff...

Stuff:

1. Naming

• All Stages, as it is now, should be All Stages Intended
• All Stages should be a separate category where gears/packages are allowed, but you still need a level 12 under the leaderboards
• Reach the Goal is fine, although I would prefer Any%
• Sideways and Backwards should be under "misc categories"

2. Rules

• Starting the timer should change to the moment you spawn from a reset or pressing play (ofc if you reset you would need to spawn at the beginning)
• Add a new rule: to not take advantage of other players in the game.

Reasons:

1. Naming

• Clarity in names
• More options
• Less clutter

2. Rules

• Clears confusion
• Removes advantages some players would have over others

Evidence:

1. Naming

• Ofc this is largely based on opinion, so no evidence :P

2. Rules

• Looking at my run (http://www.speedrun.com/run/nz1n6j9y), I never cross the Wipeout Sign, so does that mean I get a time of 0?
• Looking at Loathings' run (http://www.speedrun.com/run/jy9e9eez), they use a path which is obtained when you first beat the game to their advantages, which shouldn't be the case. Runs are supposed to test one's speed against others from the beginning to the end. (They use a tool earned end game to get a better time)
• Looking at GamingBloxxer's run (http://www.speedrun.com/run/nz16xwwm), they use the BodySwap gear to swap out with another person. This shouldn't be the case because people could have another computer set up and swap with it for an advantage over others, or use them for other reasons (jumping over obstacles, etc.). However, as stated before, the runs should test someone's speed from beginning to end; taking advantage of another person is like starting the run before the timer. The person you are taking advantage of (whether you set them up or not) started running before the run; this does not test the fastest possible time to beat the game from beginning to end.

I hope you take this into consideration...
