Lincolnshire, EnglandFor what it's worth, any rules you have in existing games/categories that were written with BBCode still have that code in, it doesn't get replaced. Confused me for a little bit when I went to edit some.
Yeah Friks I have the record in NTSC as well as PAL. In regards to the strat it absolutely would save time but you've gotta weigh up whether you want to add in the extra inconsistency. Beginner is a rough speedrun because its basically a grind for decent collision in a lot of stages, adding in this strat would induce more resets. If you're willing to take that then its definitely an improvement. Nice find regardless~
We (the mods of You Have 10 Seconds) have recently had a few run submissions by a new runner calling himself IrreversibleNinja. The recordings were very choppy, had no sound, and were pretty high up the leaderboards for a first run. We rejected the run(s) for these reasons and explained those reasons to him. Since then he posted this thread http://www.speedrun.com/yh10s1/thread/umxyj (where he's since deleted his posts, but they were multiple rambling posts about how he spent ages getting those runs and we're idiots for not verifying them) The important part of that thread is the runner from another game informing us that he had spliced a run in that game too. We then got this thread http://www.speedrun.com/yh10s1/thread/994x1 Which is an embarrasing attempt to save face, and to "not tell anyone else about the cheated runs ... keep it a secret".
So yeah, this is a heads up to anyone that gets submissions from this idiot.
I did, I thought you'd reused footage from your last run in the new one, didn't realise they were the same pb (because they had different times). I deleted the thread when I realised my mistake, about 3 minutes later.
FYI choppy video means that the frame rate is low\ frames are skipped.
We've replied, we've given adequate reasons for rejecting your runs and how to improve them. Sound isn't required, but choppy looking recordings without sound are easy as hell to splice, this combined with the fact that you have no timer and don't stream, and also have no history as a speedrunner, come together to make a very suspicious run. Your most recent submission was exactly the same run as the last, but with a few seconds of footage before and after the run. It was still a choppy recording, there was still no sound, and thus it once again got rejected.
Also, considering it is exactly the same run, how did you manage to time it to be 2 seconds faster than the previous recording?
Great question, I actually wasn't aware of a WiiU VC version. In fact, I can't seem to find anyone who knows anything about it. Can you give us some info? Does the game have any significant changes/ new features, or are there hardware based features that could provide an advantage over the GBA version? (By hardware based features, I'm thinking of stuff like the 3DS's VC savestate function. It would be easy enough to ban for instance, but we'd like to know about it beforehand). If there's no real issues/advantages to the VC version we'll be fine adding that to the leaderboards (so you can select WiiU VC rather than GBA/GBP/GBI). Sorry to bombard you with questions like this, but this is a niche speedgame, to the point that the leaderboard mods weren't aware of a version that released over 2 years ago. Edit: If you're able to record a run/some footage of the game, that would be easiest, especially if you're as unsure on this as I am. I can give it a look over, to try and spot anything different.
Ahh okay, wasn't aware that you didn't have to press anything for it to roll to the credits~
It is a little odd that the timing of the run ends before the last input of the run.
Well yeah, i get what it is. Im just drawing attention to it in case a mod hasnt seen it yet.
Just noticed that the any% leaderboard has 2 runs by skater (his first place one and a 18:50 one not accredited to his account). Thought I'd mention it in case no one else has seen it.
Can I suggest that, if you haven't gotten the retimings done/up yet that you're juggling a bit too much moderation wise? I'll happily time them all tonight, and then you can either mod me, or message me for them when you see this.
If this refers to a misc category (it has to, every main category has vids for like, the top 3 runs iirc) that will be because those categories were only just added, plus they arent very competitive yet, so the top times probably arent very optimized.
I'd happily mod, -if- there's a need. Can't see this game getting that popular though.
If you're struggling with the water part of 3-5 try mashing both the space bar and the up button intermittently. Gets you more jump inputs in the same space of time than just mashing one of them. (This also works well for 3-2 when you have to rise up the water)
I think more accuracy in the times would be nice.
Seeing a lot of these double results for runs: 
The first one, the pokemon tcg one, has only just shown up since the page's last update. A few hours ago there was only one run by Gcah, now its showing the exact same run twice.
Gonna bullet point my issues for brevity. Some are repeats of what others are saying but its worth noting how many people disagree, not just what they disagree with.
¤ Notifications don't go away. ¤ Comment and Edit icons removed from runs removes functionality, would prefer them back. ¤ Top overlay/bar/thing is too large, could easily be the height of the logo with no loss of info/usage. ¤ Too much empty space literally everywhere. Having to swivel my head to look between times and runners is silly. ¤ The added options when you click your own username are very rarely used and would serve better being within the profile page. I prefered being able to click my own username and going straight to my profile page. ¤ (this may have been like this before the layout change but) the filters box is fucking huge when you're on a series page. Could really do with having all those options in dropdown boxes. ¤ (edited in afterwards.) Hovering over runs only shows the first line/section of the run's comment, rather than the entire comment. Considering this was a hover over menu, seems like an odd thing to shorten. I prefered being able to see the entire comment without having to go into the run page itself.
I appreciate the effort that must have gone into this update, but it feels like a rushed, unwanted update pushed early to catch the sgdq crowd. It's also annoying when other, more basic site features have been on the backburner for a while, like IGT options for leaderboards, removal of seconds for IGT leaderboards for games that have IGT in minutes only (looking at pokemon here), etc.
