Our speedrunning club, Board Boosters, will be speedrunning Corridor 7: Alien Invasion in February 2024. Reach out to connect with us if you want to join in!

Board Boosters is a speedrunning club. We pick games with a small community and small number of runs on SRC and we speedrun that game for a month. This month (December 2023) we are speedrunning The Ignition Factor. If you want more info or want to join the boost, please DM me for info!

Would folks consider a Flutterbug Road category?

Edit: Nevermind it exists lol.

Board Boosters is a club that speedruns games to show them and their smaller runner communities some love.

When it comes to the last level, what informs when you pop up to attack? Do you have to kill the hermit crab enemies or is it just easier than avoiding them?

Thank you for this post! I appreciate any notes you have and this is already very helpful.

I am interested in this run but there isn't much by way of documentation here. Any pointers or guides? I don't understand why the WR doesn't take the green pickups in the first two levels, for example. What is the optimal route, and why?

I am working on this right now. TheMotherBrain86 have you ever put together any guides or how-to videos for this stuff? I would like to hear how you pull off the first level in particular.

Hey, I'm working on this with CovidKid and just wanted to pop in to ask a bit more about it, as well. I think we can do a no bomb run as well.

My preference is for the sound to be off. However, if it is required for verification I understand why it would need to remain on. If it is very low and I play music over it I am not certain that is better than no sound.

Having a clear rule posted in the rules is the most important thing. I'll follow whichever rule-set you choose.

Hi folks,

I'm running this (on a famicom emulator - FCEUX) and the in-game sound is not wonderful to listen to for multiple runs. Can we get a ruling on if it is necessary to have in-game sound on in the run video? I can just shut the sound off and listen to music while I stream it and that is preferable.

Cheers, Zericc

Moderation Request: Jump Ball, 2015 (iOS, Android).

I'm requesting to be added as a mod for this game in addition to the current moderators @Hashirama, @soupG, and @Pottary.

I've looked over the requirements for moderation requests, and I believe I meet them:

• I have three runs submitted for this game that have not been moderated
• the moderators have not logged on for 4 years, 23 days, and 4 months, respectively
• my account is well older than 30 days (over 1 year, at this point)
• I have selected multi-factor authentication

Hi there,

I recently became a mod for this game and wanted to make a post about categories and rules. I have made the following updates to the game's page.

1. the French version, Les Chevaliers Du Zodiaque, is now a separate category because if has different enemies/obstacles and some other gameplay elements.
2. I have removed the only old run for the Japanese version. I would prefer not to have done this, but there is no video for it. I can find some runs of it on niconico but it generally appears that folks are using turbo for those runs.

I have updated the general rules, as well as the specific rules. If anyone has any questions about the rationale for the updates feel free to let me know. I took the language from more popular games and copy/paste it here.

Hi @OldWorldGamer

I recently became a mod of this game. I have rejected the video you mentioned for not having video. I did make an effort to find that player on niconico, but it is unclear if the run uses auto-fire/turbo.

Moderation Request: Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu, 1987 (NES).

I'm requesting to be added as a mod for this game in addition to the current moderator @Kaorru.

I've looked over the requirements for moderation requests, and I believe I meet them:

• I have a run submitted for this game that has not been moderated
• I posted forum discussions to the series forum, not just this specific game, one month ago with no response
• I have sent messages to Kaorru, the sole mod for the game, on Speedrun.com, Twitch, and Twitter with no response and can provide screenshots if necessary
• Kaorru has not logged in to Speedrun.com for 22 days
• my account is well older than 30 days (over 1 year, at this point)
• I have selected multi-factor authentication

Hi there,

I'm working on a route for Les Chevaliers Du Zodiaque: La legende d'Or, which is the France-only port of Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu (NES) (1987). I understand that generally Speedrun.com uses the English name of a game, and defaults to the home language, often Japanese, of the game if there is no English localisation. I know this isn't a hard and fast rule, but I think with Les Chevaliers Du Zodiaque there is a unique difference in that there is a separate version of the game that only exists and was marketed in France.

I'm not asking for mod privileges, as I understand it is generally frowned upon to make that sort of request without even submitting a run. However, I would like to get the conversation going about a new leaderboard for the game as I get the run together.

My reasoning is this:

• Les Chevaliers Du Zodiaque is not simply a language translation of Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu, there are enemy/obstacle differences. The Japanese version also has exploits that don't exist in the French version.
• the names are significantly different. You can't search for Les Chevaliers Du Zodiaque on Speedrun.com and come up with a leaderboard. No where in the game does it say "Saint Seiya", nor does it say that on the box or the NES carte.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to getting a run on the boards for this game!
