I think somebody needs to figure out exactly what the hell just happened
Shoot the plane thief with it, then fly to EoL
This was recently discussed in the Discord.
No, it would cause so much more trouble than it's worth. Despite being more consistent, roll in air's implementation in SRT3 was slower than what we already knew to be possible.
A combination of these strats is faster and still skips the 1k gem requirement.
This is exactly what Super Metroid started off doing, but when the game got optimized and they couldn't cut a minute off they switched to RTA.
Over on http://www.speedrun.com/spyrort/ runs are sorted by IGT, with RTA as a supplement. so rankings are based on what the community sees as important. Due to the IGT of this game rounding to the nearest minute, it is not nearly as accurate as you would like for leaderboard comparisons, so it shouldn't be used as the main sorting method.
Additionally, for those who are unaware, you are able to view how your runs of certain difficulties compare to other peoples' runs using the FILTERS option on the leaderboards. You can still submit under any difficulty even if it isn't your fastest as well.
Assuming merging them together means leaving "Easy, Medium, Hard, and Classic" as a variable, then merging here is good. Merging and losing that specification would change my vote to leaving it as it is. What is the clarification here?
Reminds me of how the timer works on http://www.speedrun.com/tpps2
Scores do work on the website because you can set times to be sorted from highest to lowest instead, so the .771 and 1.083 examples don't work. Personally, I'd just prefer to wait to see what speedrun.com actually does about hosting scores instead of a makeshift leaderboard, especially considering cyberscore has been around and active for a decade for this game. To be honest, I liked hosting the times for the minigames over there too and leaving this for Boss Bash and Story Mode just to keep things consistent. I didn't plan for any of this.
I've seen boards with milliseconds as the score, and sorted by slowest first. I'd rather just wait for this https://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/1gbee
The problem now is we have stuff like Raft riot: Boss Bash showing up on people's run page and front page. Kind of wish you changed things properly before going through with this change, or considered why they weren't added in the first place.

Perhaps a pen and pad of paper for a thread/forum response, a 1st place trophy for a WR beaten, a medal for a new Top 3 in a game, and so on. It's easy to come back from even a short hiatus and scroll through the list and miss something you would've found important, especially considering they're not viewable after you navigate away from the page once.
If it was made into a thing, I could see it being 10x and on Category Extensions. Multi-runs are usually cool when it's different games in a series, otherwise it gets tricky to choose how many runs long the category is. I don't like 25x for this game personally. As always, run what you want, but the category doesn't need a leaderboard, especially before you do one.
I will not be adding the category if it is incomplete, such as "all on speedrun.com" as any game can be added at any point given a run is done of the game. However, if you do end up doing a run of all of the games listed below in one run, I will add the category for you.

Also, if you did end up doing this, your run would be removed once he releases another game. Considering his most recent game is from December of last year it could be at any time.
