Something I discovered running the Speedbowling category today. When you bowl a perfect game, a "Perfect" message appears for three seconds before the "Finish" message will appear. This means that the fastest game to bowl would actually be a 299 (or 2999 for 100 pin bowling), taking the smaller time penalty to avoid the three second delay in finishing/moving on to the next game.

Is that something we want to accept as a quirk of this game, or can the "Perfect" message be an acceptable point to end/move on to the next game?

It would be nice to be able to sort the run results in my profile, such as sorting by placement (i.e. all the first place runs for a game appear first, then the second place runs, etc.) or alphabetical category title, rather than just by the time of the run.

I tried to make a game request, but wasn't allowed because I didn't have a contact method registed. So I registered a Twitter account. This allowed me to make the game request. This request was then rejected with the following message:

"Your game request of <redacted> has been rejected. Reason: Please add at least one more contact method to your profile. (such as Twitch, Discord etc.)"

Could someone please make clear the minimum contact requirements to submit a game request? I don't use Twitch or Discord, and would like to know what "etc." means (apparently it does not include Twitter)

Count me in as another that would like individual mini games, especially the ones with a timer right on them like swimming and the moon escape.

Okay, then my bad for using the wrong wording in the title. I wanted to edit the run, not the game. Still learning the vocabulary! :)

Actually, I'm pretty sure I just did edit it.

Clicked on the hourglass as @Oreo321 suggested, then clicked on my run (the "Today" part) in the Runs Awaiting Verification section. This took me to a page with my run starting with "https://www.speedrun.com/wpu/run<some characters>", and a message "Awaiting verification: A moderator needs to verify this run before it appears on the leaderboard." But there's also an icon with three vertical dots. When I clicked that, a menu came up with options "Edit Run" and "Delete Run".

I chose "Edit Run", and got to a page that started with "https://www.speedrun.com/wpu/editrun/<same characters as before>" that were filled in with all of the entries I entered before. I changed the field I needed to, hit Submit, and my entry was magically updated in the Runs Awaiting Verification section with the corrected information. Didn't have to delete the original and create a new one. Furthermore, it's order in the queue remained unchanged.

My user picture should be a pretty big hint.

I submitted a run to a game, but realized afterward that I entered the wrong type information ("Advanced" instead of "Standard"). Is there a way to amend a run submission with the correct information, or pull the run to resubmit?

That little rascal ends so many runs that I think Battle of the Minigames should have an Ostrich% category to salvage them. Rules being fastest from start of the run to the ending message of a winning Ostrich game, and/or fastest overall run including an Ostrich game.

...you're cruising along on a good run when that blasted ostrich pops his head in?

I mean, he's too cute to hate, but jeez...go play somewhere else!

Hi, K-Patch here, the current world record holder in the extremely competitive Wii Party U category of Battle of the Minigames (3 Points, 2 Opponents)

I'm here to prove that there's a place for speedrunners with no skill whatsoever, but the DETERMINATION to grind out records in a game that basically comes down to dumb luck.

There's plenty of low-hanging fruit to be found here, so please join me if you feel so inclined. The more the merrier!

I have begun this speedrunning hobby with Wii Party U. It's not very popular, and getting a record involves 10% skill and 90% luck, so anyone that's willing to grind can start racking up world records on it. I think...

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that, but seems to be too much for my old laptop to handle. Perhaps I'll be able to upgrade that around Christmas time.

Going forward, I will move to Bandicam, which seems to do a much, much better job with my captures.

Made my first attempt at speedrunning the other day. I got an HDMI to USB adapter to stream to my laptop, then used AMCap to dump the raw output to an AVI file.

VLC complained about a non-existing index, but still played back the video fine. However, when I tried to upload the video to Youtube, the sound lagged seconds behind.

I've tried exporting this AVI file to something else using VLC, but everything I've tried re-introduces the lag. Is there something that I can do with this file that will make Youtube happy with it?
