Colorado, USAArcree had me look over his run on stream already, I pointed out a lot of bonks he was missing and a lot of face grinding he shouldn't be doing. He's gonna beat your time soon, f1, you've been warned
I've noticed people are still submitting times in the 5:2x range, and my times have started to come into question.
During my grind of this game, I had 4x 5:04s and one 5:03, which is the current record. I've also had 2x 5:05s, and at least one of each run per second going down the line through 5:15.
Arcree's latest pb's comment says "20 seconds?" which I interpret as him asking where he can save 20 more seconds in the run.
I've found more TINY timesavers than I could list all in one thread. If you ever want me to watch your run and point out where you're losing time, feel free to hit me up while I'm streaming. As long as I'm not in the middle of a run, I'll watch your pb on stream, explain a few mechanics, and send you back to the grind with more knowledge on the game.
I'm so glad this is being discussed. Out of all of the games I have ran, I have avoided emulator ENTIRELY over the course of these 3+ years speedrunning. Inaccuracies (slow/fast / good/bad) in any way, or gaining a certain advantage over what somebody on console would have has never felt right to me. This being said, it has bothered me over the years to see emulators used, and positions being altered in a way where it really shouldn't have (being higher up and farther down alike). Having a system to guarantee accurate leaderboards would be fantastic for everybody.
Uncheck any box that says "obsolete" so we can see many different runs by the same runner who just uses different characters on different difficulties, it would be great.
I thought full mods were only put in place to handle the memes.
Similar to "Recruit Gardevoir" in PMD B/R RT, we could have a category called "Defeat Darkrai" in this game.
After defeating Dialga, you are sent back to the guild to continue work. You are sent off to Sky Peak later on.
At some point around here you graduate from the guild and learn you are unable to evolve because of the disruption in space.
After exploring Sky Peak with Shaymin, Scizor goes missing. You rescue him from Froslass in Blizzard Island / Crevice Caves.
Next up is the Manaphy bit. You rescue an egg from a place Sunflora talks about, it hatches, you take care of the Manaphy (have Blue gummis ready!) and fight off Gyarados.
Then you explore Aegis Cave with some peppy exploration team, and have to get lucky with Unown drops/encounters to continue. Regigigas fight at the end of this dungeon.
Azurill is in a nightmare, and you have to go to Mt. Travail to bring Drowzee back.
Drowzee sends you into Azurill's nightmare. In the nightmare, you learn more about Palkia from "Cresselia". You are told to go to Spacial Rift.
Clueless as to how to get here (and Lapras doesn't even know) you and your partner don't do anything. That night, Palkia kidnaps you and brings you to Spacial Rift. You go through the dungeon and fight Palkia at the end, demanding answers.
Darkrai reveals himself as the Cresselia you've been talking to, and the entire story unfolds here. Darkrai demands you confront him at Dark Crater. You do so and defeat him. This is the true final boss of the game. You are given the option to save after the story comes to an end. Final time is checked here.
TA-DA! Consistency among categories across PMD series.
TAS of this category in under 7 hours.
I feel like this is the type of category that should not exist on the boards, even as a misc category. It is not RTA and there's even one bigger reason to this.
Perhaps there could be a forum thread where the current run is shown, and improved from there as a community project as time goes on. Limiting single segment to one runner per video makes it more competitive instead of cooperative. I like what the portal community did when they came together and made really nice looking videos.
Thoughts?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa just do any% and 100% like waow

This is extremely satisfying. Should I put it up as a Misc category or just leave it here?
All these points from speedrun.com user "f1" are extremely valid.
Please take each and every point and pour your heart's fullest extent into making your Monopoly series your pride and joy. So often, we see speedrun.com users abuse moderation power, by having things their way and not letting other speedrun.com users in the community help make the boards suit their needs. We hope that speedrun.com user "RantronBomb" is not like the other speedrun.com users and will actually make the changes that need to be taken.
As well as this, speedrun.com user "RantronBomb" has left out other classics from the series. Where's the GB version of the game?
This speedrun.com series can become one of the hottest boards on the site today if you put the correct amount of effort into making it happen. Thank you speedrun.com user "f1" for very kindly and sincerely pointing out the flaws with the speedrun.com series and thank you speedrun.com user "RantronBomb" for the consideration.
Bonking on ceilings will increase your vertical speed faster than walking off, as will not grinding against walls. Jumps are always the same height, so jumping as early as possible while going up stairs is fastest. Apply these in as many places as you can and you should see your time drop quickly.
Tried again for a total of 3 hours today. Got a 5:04.73, but nothing better. It was -.5 after yellow and i have .6 to save in white and .4 in love. should've been a 5:02. Anyway, sum of best is now a 5:01.6, so i may change my goal to a 5:02.
I vote for Tyler9698 and myself.

He has a point. This is not what the site is for. And this guy's a mod.
If DrHelix's response doesn't work for you, this question may be better asked in the MZM forums directly. Good luck.
