So according to some info the complete edition includes the DLC. Not sure if that's part of the main campaign or not yet so don't know if it adds anything or not mission wise

That's good to know, also can I just say how hard some of the prepare to die missions are when trying to play casually and going fast. Haven't made it that far in but some are just a pain.

Although for what it's worth the person I picked up on Steam is the complete edition so I don't know if there's a difference or not .

Okay, after playing a bit of the game using survival mode I can get behind doing speed run of it . Although that means I'm going to have to look up how to delete the files so I can keep doing things from a fresh campaign if that's what's needed if there's no way to start from a fresh thing . But yeah I can see some possibilities.

Haven't played it yet, but I'm usually running or routing gamed on console so just trying to think about what I might need to think about for PC. (It looked interesting so picked it up on Steam Sale since the Switch version was like $30 USD. Still. )

Also is there any good setups or things like that I should know about?

Thanks for the info, when I get a chance ro play the game I'll keep that in mind.

So I'm thinking I might speedrun the game but haven't decided yet. Figured I'd ask is there anything I should know about or things like that if I do decide to do it. Haven't played the game yet but you know what I mean.

So I'm interested in maybe running the game, is there any notes or things I should know about if I decide to do it?

I still need to update and include my characters for Macross Shooting Insight, but the run really is something to behold at present all.

Good luck all, can't help but can do that passing along good energy and stuff like that.

It's amusing as I can think ox a mech game where I drive in a car but race on foot. (See Eureka Seven having transforming mechs.) LOL doesn't quite fit the theme though.

GBA player on GameCube is what I'll probably be using. Because you can just capture from it. Although I know the GBA rom acts up but that's later in the run I believe so it might still work for a run of it

So I've managed to come across a copy of the GBA version for pretty cheap although it's in rough shape so I'll have to see if or if not it's still works. But it makes me wonder about if or if not a category for the GBA version should exist. As since we'll I found a cart of the game.

. The other bit of tech showing that you can use jumping and continuous movement to climb things you normally couldn't.

Okay so not sure what happened and since at present it looks like the leaderboards might be dead for now: https://discord.gg/FdBx7V7Q That's the main anime speedruns discord

https://discord.gg/ezQwhX5s That's the old Macross and Robotech Speedrun Discord.

If anything happens and the links don't work just message me and I'll try to help where I can. Honestly don't know what happened with the mod and appently the runs on the leaderboards don't exist anymore so as a fellow Robotech speedrunner I'm just trying to do what I can to help.

Haven't ever gone and watched the run for Robotech invasion but:

There's a few other things like being able to clip out of bounce, through stages and climbing some of the walls because of then having collision and being able to mash jump and I believe if I recall transform to climb some of the more vertical surfaces to skip some things but never went through the entire game back then. Don't think I'll ever get back to trying to speedrun the game but figured it was worth posting these here so they don't end up getting buried further in my old twitch clips.

Anyway if anyone ever reads this again the community doesn't even know what happened so at minimum when I noticed I figured it was worth making sure something could be done about it in the future.

Don't know if there's a better way for things but id you're doing sub categories you can always put the the variables as Misc. that way they are hidden by default which should create a drop-down. There's probably a better way then this but it's what I just figured out for myself so it might work for you.

Not 100% on the second question so don't want to suggest anything at present in case I'm wrong. Though I do think there's probably an way to do it that's a bit easier to do but again unsure.

As a follow up I'm assuming there's not going to be separation between hardware unless something is found to be console exclusive.

Although I don't think I'll run the game I have to say at minimum I'm liking what I'm seeing from the game so can't wait to see more people running the game. Also if I were to suggest something the frame where the final results screen appears seems like a solid idea as it feels sorta like a hybrid spot between last hit and fade to black. Don't know if there's any time in between the two events happening but sorta has that Castlevania type spot where it's on orb grab if you get what I mean.

Again don't know if I'll run the game or not but I do plan on picking it up for the switch so figured I'd throw in my 2¢ as a fellow speedrunner.

Ah thanks for the info. Knew about the pipe clip but didn't know if it would be affected or not and since I didn't know if back to back wall jumps were even possible it wasn't worth even thinking about the pipe clip until I knew that answer.

Again thanks for taking the time to answer a semi dumb question.
