I wrote my thoughts on the current board and how to fix it in a pastebin: http://pastebin.com/LA58QKaC
Cyber, what users have "left the game and deleted their accounts" because of this change? Runs in different difficulty are not the "same speedrun". In-game time and forcing single segment is also not an option. I pushed for timing without loads once, but when I did not get the support I dropped it completely, so that chance was lost. Also running in an emulator faster than all the official versions is simply something that cannot be allowed.
Now whatever is done here is simply waiting for the merge with mmrta, after which we'll just carry on. There is nothing left to say about this topic. The leaderboard changes are here to stay.
You do not need to force anything to be single segment, and easy and normal runs are literally the same thing. Also, to answer your first question, cirno has deleted his account, and 8bit plans on never using the boards again.
cirno doesn't even run x6 anymore, so that leaves 8bit as the only one doing it, and you and 8bit were the only "relevant" people to not want the split and voice your opinions in time, more people wanted the split, so it happened. Story end. And easy and normal, as slight the difference may be, are not the same thing.
Cirno is still an x6 runner, and he is currently running the game, so saying he isnt relevant is insulting.
Also, if normal and easy are separated why can't we have non-hyper dash categories?
Because hyperdash is not an option in the options menu that you choose and set before starting a run. That's why.
It could be, but no one runs it. Really, I may just go ahead and delete all the (empty) categories because of that reason.
Also, your ad hominems are great to remove validity of your argument.
That's irrelevant banter and you know it. I presented an argument which you refuse to respond to fully, and now threaten to delete the thread because you don't agree with it?
Fine moderation.
Oh I misread your previous post about deleting empty categories, my bad.
And you didn't reply to my pastebin linked, all you did was ask questions and make incorrect and uninformed assertions
Why on earth would you ban difficulties? Mostly speaking for 100% on easy, since normal is the fastest for that category
