Another skip to use for the area in French Chateau where Beam Skip can be used. Alternative method can save 10 seconds over first attempt Beam Skip and probably about 30+ seconds over the normal route.

There has been an influx recently of submitted runs that aren't following the rules set out for each category.

The rules are there and in place for a reason, please make sure that you follow them before attempting a run and submitting said runs. If you are unsure of the rules, contact a mod through sr.com or discord.

Thanks

There has been an influx of people submitting runs that do not follow the timing rules set out for this series of games.

Please before submitting make sure that you read the timing rules for the game you are planning to run as it makes it more difficult re-timing the run and tedious.

EDIT: It appears rules still aren't being followed, so therefore without sounding like a complete *** future runs may or may not be declined depending on how much needs to be re-timed, and if it does need re-timing you will be asked to do it to resubmit. It's not a big ask for people to follow the rules, even if a timer like livesplit is not used throughout a run. Follow the rules folks. Thanks!

In light of this board being added for the more not so serious or non main game categories, please post your ideas as a new thread using the below template with a clear description of the idea/rules for discussion with the title being the name of your proposed category and we will consider whether that category will be approved and added. As discussions on discord can be broken up with no clear indicators this gives the opportunity for people to express their feelings towards the category against each category spoken about without that information being lost in translation on discord -

Hi all. I stumbled upon this glitch earlier today during my casual play through of the game that causes you to not take any damage and be able to walk through enemies without so much as a scratch.

This was caught on PC Steam version on whichever is the current patch. Unsure if this has been found by anyone yet in their travels and documented but might be useful for glitched runs in some areas. I just haven't been able to replicate yet as I'm not as far as other people may be but thought I'd post here anyway in case anyone wanted to check it out.

May be worth someone checking if the console versions of the game exhibit this glitch as well?

edit: Just to add, as per video description it lasts for one or two screens, so may be area dependant? unsure

Hi all

After discussing with Matt, as of 16/01/19 any run attempt performing chapter 4 skip, if the skip fails you are no longer allowed to reload a save to try and perform the skip again.

If it fails you will either have to continue the run using an alternative route or restart the run.

This decision was made because with the use of IGT as the timing method, you could reload the save infinitely without a penalty to time which doesn't really make sense in a speed run.

All current runs on the board from before this date that have made use of the save files for this skip will remain, any further submitted runs making use of this for any part of the run will now be rejected regardless if its chapter 4 skip or otherwise.

hi all, just wondering where the save games are located to delete them to start a fresh game? thanks for your help

Hi there

So I was wanting to start on Streets of Rage 2 as like a side speed run to what I usually do, however not really sure which emu would be best to use for speed/compatibility reasons, what would you guys recommend?

In regards to the below post just in case anyone decides to give it a go, the PS3 digital version of UC1 is actually available on the PSN store.

So the post below should be disregarded as far as its availbility goes.

:)

hi guys, just wondering whether there are any rules/requirements for using emu to speedrun this game and the other crash games?

are there any banned emus and limits such as the emu needing to be set up exactly how a ps1 would run as an example?

Sorry if the question seems stupid, so far all i've ran is UC1 and rise of the tomb raider so have no experience in regards to running anything via emulator

thanks
