Texas, USAI can agree with you on that a friend helped me with my settings and it has a fast disc mode i never knew about i tried it and its load times were closer to an xbox but not faster so i used it to even the playing field so i can give him a challenge because like you said those seconds add up and i also said im not demanding it was just a suggestion i agreed and have no problem with the two being split this decision is all you but i still stand on hardware not being split into consoles because they are all same gen consoles
i would be okay with it going back to normal so we can have a proper leader board and think until we actually get runs on emulator with load times that are actually insane because current emulator runs are either worse or close to xbox load times but that's completely up to Alex not demanding anything Thanks for your opinion Cloud.
And now that were split between emulator and hardware there's no competition at all Cloud and I were going to try and push this game down as low as possible but what's the point if we can't really compete against each other and you said that speedrunning is a competition but if it were to be split up you would be the only gamecube run and put it in your way of describing it showing up to a marathon and winning just for being there aka just makes it worse and pointless
And this game only just got its latest runner just 2 to 3 weeks ago after no trys after almost a year so in my opinion unless there's a growth in runs there should be no reason to split into different console categories when we only have 5 who use console and 6 with emulator
I can understand that but there are lots of speedruns of games in which this is taken into account in terms of different consoles for example ratchet and clank 1 2 and 3 where both are still ran on both ps2 and ps3 even though the ps3 has far superior load times also in my run as well where even though there is a 10 minute difference in game time there is still only a 3 minute difference in both records i dont see it as i need to go out and spend more money to compete i just see it as alright time to crisp up the run and see what i can do to make up that gap like few others would do in a speedrun this small atm and also make it better if its not just a run or 2 per category
The splitting consoles i would not agree on because this game is only on 6th gen consoles ps2 xbox gamecube while the splitting of Banjo-Kazooie is between 5th gen n64 and 6th 7th and 8th gen xboxs. That seems like a real unfair advantage so the splitting of those makes complete sense just like the splitting of console vs emulator here.
I think the console should stay as one just like in other popular speedruns like battle for bikini bottom where they go allout on the best types of xboxs for use and stuff but they dont separate them between xbox ps2 and xbox360. Also igt just saying that as much as i would like to support it i agree with banta in terms of you can restart as many times as you like to get every fight to around 11 seconds for 1v1 and free for all and tag team to under 45 seconds. Which is why i think it is logical to just keep it as real-time primarily and igt as a secondary stat.
Yeah now that you explained it alot better than i ever could it makes alot more sense so now i can really see why this was pushed to the side if you want i can go through the story and show just how low it can go if you really take your time vs a real time run
For twitch users all you got to do is highlight it and it will stay.
Well in my recent run i just got a 35:06 igt and as even though in my opinion it should be in a different category but that would mean being able to take your time leveling stats in the gym after every match which is why i think they just go by real time. So at the moment i think igt is just a bragging right for this run
I can agree with that if you had better load time you would for sure kill this game
