Hey everyone!
We're pleased to unveil a brand new resource for FF8 speedrunning, ff8.wiki!
The plan is for this to become a central hub for information regarding speedrunning this game in all its forms. We've made a start in building the basic structure and including some of the more fundamental information (including the hardest skip...), but as you will be able to see there is still a lot of missing information, and a lot of red links. As with any wiki, information can be contributed by anyone, so feel free to get stuck in; any help would be greatly appreciated! One point to stress is that this aims to specifically be a wiki about FF8 speedrunning, so we should try to stay relevant and avoid adding unnecessary information that sits outside of this scope.
A new channel in the discord server has also been created for any discussion related to the wiki to take place.
Big thank you to Brofar for getting the website set up for us.
Happy running!
Hey everyone
After requests from some members of the community, we have decided to return missing WR runs to the leaderboards on speedrun.com. We feel our job as moderators is to maintain the SRC leaderboards as accurately as we can so we agreed that this was a worthwhile course of action.
The criteria for runs which were added back is: they were all WRs at one time, and also the current PB of the removed players. (That is to say: we have not added every WR a runner may have had in the the lead up to their current PB)
The boards affected are:
- PSX Disc: US Any%, JP Any%, US Any% Turbo,
- PC (Windows 7): Any%,
- HD (Console): Any% - No Turbo, and
- PSX Digital.
Thanks everyone, happy running!
Hey everyone!
We have decided to make a change to the ruleset for the PSX leaderboard. From today, the use of pre-manipulation will be banned and cannot be used in submissions. This is to finally bring PSX in line with the rest of the platforms, which had banned pre-manipulation.
We have spoken with the two remaining runners with times using pre-manip on the board. They have both decided to have their pre-manip runs removed. After removing these runs, there is no other use of pre-manip on the leaderboard, making this the ideal time to make this change. This will change the current listed WR to ConnorCordell's 8:20:21 run.
We hope that the changes will make the PSX run more appealing for those who wish to compete and hopefully inspire some new runs/runners in the community. We will also begin the process of compiling FF8 WRs for history sake so no achievement will be forgotten.
Happy running!
