I'm thinking about running the game myself, but I do have a few questions about the Gacha RNG. First, if you get a starter character, are you allowed to use them before you unlock them? (e.g. if I get Kaeya before unlocking him in the temple, am I allowed to use him before I've completed the temple?)

Second, if you get a constellation for a character that you are allowed to use (except the traveler of course), am I correct in assuming you are not allowed to activate them?

Finally, the rules state that weapons obtained from the Gacha are not allowed. I can guess this means the 5-star and 4-star weapons, but does this also include 3-star weapons like Cool Steel and Sharpshooter's Oath or not?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my questions

every time you finish a race in one of these 3 categories, you earn credits. after the race, GL usually tries to stuff an ad down your throat so you can earn a lot more credits. but with a double credits boosters, that screen goes away. it's costly, yes. but it also saves an additional click. probably around 0.2-0.5 seconds per race, but in a full season it really adds up

so, I've recently pulled a time at Austria that would get me third on the leaderboards here (1:03.424). thing is, I didn't record the lap when I actually did it, I only have a recording from after the session, and with race broadcast as camera. is this still allowed according to the rules? The rules only state that corner cutting exploits aren't allowed and that the game must see the time as valid, or your run isn't allowed (these rules are the only ones I'm concerned about). my run is following both these rules, but doesn't have onboard with all telemetry and stuff (not recorded whilst actually doing the lap), whilst the other runs do. please get back to me as soon as possible, so I will know if I can upload it or not

so, the rules for hard% state the following:

-Safety Car and Parc Ferme must be turned on

Parc Ferme is not a problem, as you can leave that on regardless of the amount of laps in a race. the problem lies with the Safety Car. you see, the SC can only be turned on on 25%+ race distance. does this mean we have to do a run on 25% distance, or do we leave the SC off?

Hi again.

it's been a long time. I plan to do a few more F1 2019 speedruns before I say goodbye to this game for good, but I'd like to make a PSA about my speedruns. due to the video proof being uploaded on my account for school, and me transferring schools due to finding the school better, I no longer have access to that youtube account. therefore, even though my current speedruns will stay under the same channel, this will change for any future speedruns I do. so, even though the speedruns I've done will stay visible, future speedruns will be submitted to a diffrent channel of mine.

Sorry for making this so confusing to understand, but I still wanted to say this, as I do plan to do at least 1 more speedrun on this game (like I said earlier this post)

Cheers. YoloMN001

Since F1 2020 is just around the corner, I am wondering if the moderators of this game will continue to moderate the F1 2020 leaderboards should that come to exist. and if it will exist, will it be the same format at this year's game? or will it be just like F1 2017's leaderboard?

in any case, I just want to thank Tielqt and Kw1q51lv3r_Vorian for moderating this year's game, as well as everyone who submitted a run (any% or something else) as well as, I will be doing one more speedrun of this game in a day or two, before I say goodbye to this game forever/a very long time.

again, thanks mods for moderating this year's game and thanks everyone who ran the game for making the leaderboards expanded. cheers!

So, I've been experimenting on Wii sports tennis to practice for a Losing All Sports run, and I think I found a new possible strat. When your Mii's are on the left side, you have to serve the ball. However, if you put your Mii's on the RIGHT side, the CPU's get to serve, meaning, in theory, you can lose the game faster and more consistent.

From there, you just have to start a game and do nothing except hit A to skip replays. Will this strat be allowed? And if so, do we allow it before the run starts, or (instead of starting by hitting 'Single Game') do we start the timer when we hit our Mii's?

Today I wanted to do a Trevor% speedrun (since I don't have time for the entire game, but also want at least 45 minutes of playtime) and when I wanted to create the splits, I couldn't find Trevor% on LiveSplit. Then I went on SRC to check here, but... nothing. Why was it removed? Was it just not popular enough? or were there too many runs of it? please let me know, thanks in advance

I just have to say this, but a MASSIVE congratulations to thebook32 for doing a full 100% race distance run. It must've been exhausting. you have really earned my respect. and my compliments for your willpower of doing this.

Hello,

I've been trying for 5 times now to attempt a Williams% run, but my frame rate (when recording with OBS) is no more than 30 FPS, but when I turn OFF the recording, it jumps to 60 FPS again. does anyone have a fix for this? I'd like to know, as I really want to attempt Wlliams%, be it today or tomorrow

Hi. I looked through the full-game leaderboard and found that, in the F2 section where no one has submitted a run yet, there are all the categories from F1. this is weird, as A. both the 2018 F2 season as well as the 2019 F2 season cars are in the game and B. all the F2 cars are created equally, so the performance is really down to the drivers themselves. there is no worst car. maybe it's an idea to either remove Williams% from F2 or rename it to extreme%, where you have to race on 110 AI with fixed assists. just a though, let me know if it's a good one. cheers

Hi. I'm currently new to speedrunning this game, so don't expect me to get WR in the most popular category. I've looked through the rules of Championship, Hard% and it Isn't that hard. I personally race with ABS and Traction control on Medium, with Manual starts and Sim Damage on (even though it can be a bit wonky at time) and I find it to be relatively easy. the difficulty cap I can understand, as the AI on one track at, say, 84 difficulty are tougher than on another track. but I propose some new rules for this category, and I will not do a run on this category until It's confirmed that either these changes are accepted or rejected. here we go:

[Begin Rules] -You are required to complete all sessions; if your runs features a DNF (either through crashing or retirement in the pause menu) or DQ, your run is invalidated unless they are undone with flashbacks or the session is done again -You are allowed to drive in any team of choice -Runs must be done on the most recent patch -You must Place top 7 in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship -The following assists are allowed -ABS -Traction Control: Medium -Racing line: Corners only -Other Assists are forced to be turned off -Video proof of your Racing settings (assists and gameplay settings) is required before you start the run -You are limited to a maximum of [Insert number here] Flashbacks. If you use more than [Insert number here], your run is invalidated. you must let us know how much flashbacks you've used in the run description -Safety car and Parc Fermé must be on -Vehicle Damage must be on simulation -The following Camera types are allowed: ()Cockpit ()TV Pod ()TV Pod Offset -Difficulty must be set on 80 or higher -Changes to the setup that can not be made if Parc Fermé is active are not allowed to be done to the car. No rear wing changes or Tire Presseure changes allowed, but changes to the Front Wing, On Throttle Diff and Brake Balance are allowed. Brake Balance, and On Throttle Diff are able to be changed from the car, whilst you need to make a pit stop to change the Front Wing mid-race

Timing starts when you press the button that corresponds with going to track in Australia and ends once you Finish in Abu Dhabi

[End Rules] These rules are designed to make Hard% actually difficult. the limited flashbacks rule is designed to force players to think carefully about using their flashbacks. However, I don't know how many flashbacks in considered 'fair' in a almost 4 hour long run. let me know what you guys think

So, I am currently playing on Patch 3.55 of Brawlhalla. (If you could also please answer if it's allowed to do runs on patches other than Patch 3.46) I like using Vector, as his sigs are some that I can work with. the problem I have when creating my splits, Is that, for legends, I can not select Vector. If it's not possible, I'll try using Yumiko or Ada, but if they can be added, please do so, so I can submit a run. I see some runs that don't have the patch mentioned, so I will do a run today on Patch 3.55 and try to get it verified on the leaderboard, but please note that this will be on 100% with vector
