looks like a clip rather than a WW, though I guess the idea behind no WW is basically glitchless, so this prob would get banned either way. I only ran any% though so im not really sure how that category looks like.

Its very green... I will miss the old layout

I mean ofc its not a problem allowing for deathwarp being used in any%. The larger question down the road is whether or not to have a warpless category for the other runners in the past so that not everyone steamrolls them over. My two cents.

All Bosses makes more sense than 100% for this game in my eyes, I think its a fun addition.

No. Going for the "I Read You Like A Book" achievement for a speedrun makes zero sense. It involves having to collect enemy AI data across multiple game difficulties. I cant ever see this becoming a thing.

1 - I wanna say no to making more categories when the current ones doesnt have more popularity.

2 - def a no.

DD has final say ofc

freeland is making a hen out of a feather. emu and console is accurate enough to compete with each other, its not a problem at all unless you are used to console. If you are like me, just playing on emulator all day long, you won't know the difference. When it comes to controllers, it is hard to find something good these days, even for the ones people recommend, its typically hit or miss from my experience.

Edit: you have people like prisi for instance whom is a great runner. He did emu runs for years and competed for the top on many games, he recently switched to console because of the input delay emu has and he is doing "better" on console. That being said, you can still achieve great times through emulation rather than investing in full-on console setup from day 1 - only to give up speedrunning within 6 months due to lack of time or interest. I'd say dont worry about it until you feel its time to make the switch.

1 - I'd say the current tutorial out that I made is prob the most informed compilation out atm, granted you can always join the CV discord and ask runners directly in the cv2 channel.

2 - emu is okay, typically FCEUX is wildy accepted and used by alot of people for NES games. I'd def submit a run if you get it down to a point where you feel proud of it, typically I'd say if you can beat the time at last place, that qualifies for acceptance.

3 - We use Livesplit most commonly as a timer, you can find a link to the software under "More-Resources" on top page of SRC.

According to callumbal, its a frame perfect trick. I believe its left - wait 1 frame - A. Its still worth practicing and going for though imo since its just a few seconds in on stage 1.

I hear from a lot of people that they avoid this game simply because there's no video tutorial, despite them thinking the game itself looks fun from having watched other people run it.

I myself avoided this game for about 11-12months and kept holding off til someone made one. Turns out, I still ended up choosing to run this despite the lack of one. My own personal conclusion is that the game doesn't have too much crazy stuff to really desperately being in need of a tutorial, compared to say Metroid NES where there's alot of off-screen inputs for them screenwraps.

Kabuki is pretty straight forward, should anyone have questions about it then reach out to the community! Callumbal and Mithical were very helpful in answering any of the few questions I had. I would gladly lend a helping hand to new runners and im sure Butz would as well.

But the main thing I want people to understand is: Not every game truely requires a video guide on how to beat it, don't be afraid and don't deny yourself this awesome and fun title!

Im always under the impression that this "challenge run" belongs on youtube and not on SRC. Im well aware there are boards whom for whatever reason, adds low% for those few handful of people wanting to duke it out for a free wr. But generally I do not consider it speedrunning as much as just a challenge.

If people want better times then go PC for free PB since its out and its faster. Most people should have the option to go PC and there's no bs with patches or a very demanding title compared to other releases today. Cluttering up the board with 5 different versions of the game is the last thing I wanna see.

@Liv Boy rejected, rules updated, and dag nabbit... I mean I'll hold on to the mod title without going rogue about it, doing what I can, but stay tuned for more cases like these in the future - im sure >_>

So some weeks ago, I reached out due to lack of activity from previous mod on https://www.speedrun.com/The_Mask - your response was to make me one, which I advised against due to lack of knowledge when it comes to the job of it. Well we got a submission in - only problem is that this was played on some emulator with "RetroAchievements", this is a new thing for me and I dont know about accuracy. Its not a competitive time so its not a big deal, but I have no idea what to make out of it.

I'd still hope that you'd assign someone with more experience than I when it comes to moderation to help out in these matters. Rantron still isn't reliable since he can go off grid for weeks, and he moderates like 500 games...

Edit: The run itself is legit from what I can tell, I've just never experienced this platform before and have no idea what software was used and if its been looked into

We had issues defining this during the week of learning the game for RGR, and the purple bubble were too hard in practice to accurately get a timing for to begin with. I ended up going by Joka's example, hitting with a -0.85 on what seems to be the most consistent way of timing the game from an RTA standpoint. If that needs to be added with 0.03 though, that'd be new for me. But I find using that spot as a starting point is the easiest.

I'm just coming off from running silius and metal storm with deathwarps - now gradius get them too :D

If mods would add it under level leaderboards inside this already existing game board, I dont see why not. I enjoyed going through these myself, like you said - the in-game boards are typically always hacked from day 1.
