It is not allowed. Run has been removed.

Hello, I would like to request mod for the Trails of Cold Steel 4 Board( https://www.speedrun.com/the_legend_of_heroes_trails_of_cold_steel_iv ) . The current mod is inactive on the site, has been messaged on here with no response in more than a week, paywalls all other form of contact, and is not reachable on discord. The board is currently being used as a publicity thing for him alone, rather than an archive of the runs done for the game. I have both a pending run for the game, and 2 other runs from JP community members I'd like to be able to submit to the board. (Cannot currently do this because the board is setup to force me as the runner when submitting)

I would also like to request series mod for the Legend of Heroes series ( https://www.speedrun.com/tloh ). The current series mod is inactive and their profile has nothing but dead links. The last message they sent in discord was from 2019. I am the current owner of the Legend of Heroes speedrunning discord having gotten the role for my involvement in the community, have pioneered most of all the routes and speedruns of the entire series in english, and can provide documented proof of other community members and current leaderboard mods approving me to be a series mod. I request this solely that so there is a constantly active member of the community in place to help create/manage boards for the series and avoid problems like with the Cold Steel 4 board, as this is not the first time this has happened.

Its due to them being spotpass. Typically its disallowed to use things like spotpass and street pass in speedrunning.

This has no need to continue and just looks poor, as such I am locking the thread

Webcam footage for the whole run is enough for me, splits are gravy. if thats what ghostscit had, then I would like to have the chance to go through it to verify that run

Ghoul, on the subject of Ghost's SMT4 run, how much of it was recorded on webcam. If there was significant amounts of it, I would have no issue verifying it. I understand Cap Cards are expensive. I also am fine accepting the N3DS hack which markro uses. In my eyes, simple splits, IGT pictures and other such "proof" are not enough to verify a run, especially since of the inaccuracies IGT could have due to pretty much inevitable deaths in this run. NG+, yes, would be more accurate, but I feel it more fair to make it a rule across the game, rather than a single category.

its changed Blue, sorry, that was an oversight on my part. I had forgotten about the level cap DLC

if youd like to add the Y/N option to it further, feel free to go ahead markro

DLC is fine for NG+ in my book, we can change this.

I wouldn't have tested it because it wasn't to be allowed in the first place, slower or not. and Whether it is true or not, and whether you did or didn't use it, I cant say, because there is no video and no proof of your claim. AS for Tofo's run, I must have missed it, but runs typically require videos, and as such, his run will be removed to keep things fair.

Just a heads up, I would have removed your runs anyways for a) lack of video, and b) for changing the categories as you pleased to benefit your own run without informing other runners. DLC was allowed for all of the categories you ran, and none of the others. Initially, when Irehaahk and I first began to discuss this game for speedrunning over 2 years ago, we both agreed on no DLC allowed. The same holds true for your 4A runs, where markro and I agreed that DLC is not allowed aside from difficulty and that data transfer is also banned. Your rules, and presumably your run allowed and used both of these. If you arent satisfied with ban evasion as the reasoning, then the reason from me is you went behind the communities back and cheated in your runs. Also, very few runs out there allow DLC to begin with to keep the playing field fair for all runners. These runs are also usually noted whether or not they use DLC in the category, rather than just using it and then banning it in other categories. When I started changing the rules of the categories here,

just be legit with it, no save stating, speedup, ya know, invalid things. Also, putting on the fps cap at 60 helps to make sure you arent going over accidentally(yes i realize sometimes it fluctuates between 59 and 61, thats fine). other than that, if you wanna run 8x res and make it beautiful and better looking than p5, thats on your cpu to be able to handle it.

You and I sir, we need to have talks about this
