There has actually been such a concept made before, named "skyfecta". But no one has ever attempted it. If demand for it were to ever arise, it will be placed as a category (with subcategories similar to the ones you suggested) within this board. This is the kind of category that this board was made for.

However, I don't think a 100% skyfecta is feasible at the moment. There has rarely ever been demand for 100%'s for any full game in the series.

Although these ideas are not original, I thank you for suggesting them nonetheless.

I must apologize, we have been going through some server revamps. Someone or something may have nuked our permanent invite link. I will get this fixed as soon as possible, but for now, please take the temporary link that Duke has provided. Thank you for notifying us.

Aw, really? Why's that? Well, your logic is sound, then. I suppose that means he just hasn't seen it at all, despite being active.

So, I'll try to contact bangerra through Twitter. Thanks for the info!

Well, I suppose he IS active. I just haven't seen him around the Skylanders games/series pages at all, even though he moderates the series page and one of the games. I didn't see any information regarding a Discord tag, and I would have contacted him there if he had one. I've decided to not use my Twitter, since I've only ever used it for communicating with a certain game community, and I've only ever used it once or twice.

If I must wait longer for a response, then I will do that. I'll consider contacting him on Twitter should it come to that.

Well, the first issue is what I've stated above; I just haven't seen him anywhere. My concern started when I made a post in the Skylanders series forum regarding my suggestion for a series-wide extension board (because some of the bonus missions and features are shared throughout some games in the series, and none of these are listed as categories in any of the game boards). I believe I made that post about a week ago, and I haven't seen a response from anyone regarding the idea, nevertheless from a mod, who would have the ability to request such a thing. I've talked it over with some other runners on the Skylanders Speedruns Discord server, and they seem to agree with me on the subject of the series mods being inactive. Since then, I've made an attempt to contact bangerra (as the other series mod has been inactive for years), and here we are. He seems to be verifying runs sometimes on the one game that he moderates in that series, but that's it. (He also has submitted a full-game run on that game, which he verified himself, but that was two years ago.) I suppose that dampens the whole situation, but I'm more concerned about the moderation of the series page.

As I've stated, I may try to contact him through Twitter later, but I just wanted to see what you all thought of the situation first. Thanks~

Hello again! I've waited about a full week for a response from bangerra (you can see my message to him here: https://www.youtube.com/user/bangerra/discussion ). I have not yet received a response from him, despite him being active in posting videos to his channel, so I am convinced that he is truly ignoring my post, and I've decided to refer back to here. Please look at my last post here as well if you have not yet read that. Thank you! -Gizmo

Hello! I would like to request a role of moderation for the Skylanders series. ( https://www.speedrun.com/skylanders ) The series page has two moderators, but both are inactive there. The first mod, kirbygame126, has not been active in two years, so I attempted to contact the second mod, bangerra, through his Youtube discussion page (you can see my message to him here: https://www.youtube.com/user/bangerra/discussion ). My message was sent about 2-to-3 days ago, but he has uploaded a video 8 hours ago, so I assume he ignored me. I am willing to become a mod for the Skylanders series if it would amount to any active mod activity in those series pages. May someone please help me?

By the way, Xacer: do you check your Discord often? I've sent you a message there.

This is concerning Zeldafan01's recent record-breaking Any% All Levels run.

I noticed that they played on a game file that did not have all of the stars collected yet. This is clever, since you can skip all of the annoying fireworks animations. However, the rules of that category say that the run must be performed on a "complete file". If that does not mean that all stars are collected, then does that mean that just the main story has to be completed? Could we make the rules more specific?

I would like to offer the suggestion of a Skylanders Category Extension board.

In this board would be categories that span multiple or all Skylanders games that are not listed in the main game boards. Among these categories would be things such as IL Heroic Challenges (SSA and SG), IL Bonus Missions (Swap-Force), Villain Cups (SSC and SI(?)), and Single Lap records for the racing modes, like these that I've posted below: I hope the moderators take this idea into consideration. None of these categories were handled in the main game boards, so I thought that this would be a finer solution. I would also not mind moderating such a board.

Well, any% is any% for a reason. Just do whatever. The Winged Boots don't even give that great of a boost; if I ever use them, it's only in very specific situations. S2 Flameslinger's second flame path is the fastest you'll ever get, though.

I think that would make it twice as hard, but if both players know what they're doing, uh... sure?

Well, you have to post a YouTube link of the video with your submission for it to count, and the submission doesn't make it to the board unless a moderator (in this case, THE moderator) verifies it, so the moderator decides that.

Thanks!

Could you also please clarify in the name and rules that it is a NG run, that Magic Items aren't allowed, and that Skylanders DO NOT need to be reset?

Nightmare, No Death, No Switch, No Magic Item, New Game, Any%. The timer starts as soon as the player selects Nightmare on their new file. Only real time is acceptable, including loading screens, dialogue, menus, etc. Can be any Skylander with any hat and any starting amount of gold, does not require a reset. If you die at any time, your run ends immediately and is incomplete. The run can only be called complete when Robo-Kaos' health hits 0, and the player must start and finish without removing their Skylander from the Portal.

I've been attempting this run with S2 Drobot and have survived up to Molekin Mountain on my best attempt. As absurd as this run sounds, it actually seems doable if you know how to cheese enemies. It's an incredible trial of time management and survival, invented by me about a month or two ago. I'm pretty confident that I can clear this run sometime in the next several weeks, so could we add a Leaderboard for this run under Miscellaneous?
