Oh you're right. Did you use the splits? I'll be the one verifying the run, and I can adjust the time if something is slightly off, so just submit the run with the time that you think it is, and I'll adjust it if need be
Unfortunately right now we don't have any autosplits set up, so it's all just manual for the time being. When you submit, use the in-game time for the official time though, since it's more accurate anyhow.
Timer starts as the words "Stage 1 start" slam onto the screen. It sounds like you're going for hte true final boss run? The exact frame will be as soon as the assimilation of the final form is complete, which is right around "may you attain enlightenment."
As long as your recording shows what the in-game time is at the end, then you'll be fine.
Haha, yeah I was looking into it too. It seems like a bit of a challenge. Knowing your real time can definitely still help, but having the autosplitter would definitely be a big help. I'll consider looking into it a bit more again, but I think it might be a bit beyond my skill set
And would separate categories for single player and 2 player also be something people would like specified? I lean towards yes on this.
Hey all, I'm happy to say that ZeroRanger now has an official spot on speedrun.com! I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the rules.
For White Vanilla, you technically get an ending if you fail the simulation on the last boss, and you do receive the achievement for completing the simulation in under 15 minutes (assuming you did it in under 15 minutes). So I'm wondering if anyone else feels like you should have to beat the final boss, or if for any% you can just lose to it, or if you're playing legit White Vanilla, you could beat the Orb Spewer and allow the simulation to end.
Should we have a separate category for beating the final boss and just completing the simulation?
And on top of that, should we separate White Vanilla from Light Mode since the cutscenes are different, or should we just run whichever is faster?
Similarly for Green Orange, should we run the post game version, or the main game version that includes the save deleting portion at the end? Or maybe should these be different categories all together?
I'm all ears if anyone ends up seeing this.
My personal opinion is that White Vanilla and Light mode are similar enough in length that there isn't much reason to make them different categories, and I'd like to make beating the final boss a requirement for a successful run.
And for Green Orange, I think that there should be two separate categories, one with the save deleting part at the end going through the game as intended, and another going through the post-game rendition with Great Oppressor.
Can we use built-in turbo on Nintendo Switch? Can we use Turbo code on Saturn? Or do we need to mash the fire button?
