I never see anyone use it why

I have also been wondering if you can abuse this more by making Mario slide back a lot on some ledge/slope. Maybe it's possible in TAS

on the btt leaderboard it seems igt and realtime are mixed up. for example, demon9's mario says 7.99 as realtime instead of ingame time.

megaqwertification seems to be placed 1st erroneously for a few characters.

Realtime on btt leaderboard seems pointless.

I would like it if you could list all the runners that agreed to it.

I do not have a problem with allowing debug password in speedruns. I have a problem with the category names. If I were to look for "any%", I'd expect a fastest playthrough, possibly with glitches. But without passwords or cheats. You are going to confuse visitors to your leaderboard that share this mindset.

[quote]the reason for allowing it in the speedrun is this: it is doable on console. and it is fully done after the run has started. Any% is to do the game the fastest, with any means available, as long as its done mid run. [/quote]

There are hundreds of games with debug passwords or password screens or konami codes. Guess what, they are all doable on console. So I don't understand your reasoning.

[quote]Passwords are not allowed if you did not press start. If you press start on a game the run is legit. In mega man x we have a glitch password meme. Its only a fun category and not a legit category because you never pressed start you started in the password screen and pressed enter. Looking at the Smurfs it is the same way. There is a password menu but its not allowed because you never press start. I also see you have to input a code before the run even starts to access the debug menu during game play witch is not allowed because your doing something before the run. [/quote]

What do you mean by "if you did not press start"? You cannot deny that you used a password on the pause screen.

Please show me one other game where the RTA community agreed on using passwords and called it "any%". I have not seen it before. DBZ Log1 is the first community I see do it and I feel it is wrong. "Any%" means to play through the game with any means available, yes. But it means to play through the game, not use a password to skip ahead.

Debug menu takes a password to unlock. Passwords are not allowed in any%. If they were allowed, brb I will use password in The Smurfs to go to level 10 and beat it in 2 minutes and call it any% WR. And while I'm at it, might also use Trip World's stage select and go to the final room directly and beat it in 40 seconds. woohoo WR

If you went to the debug menu via a glitch, it would be a different story. Otherwise, you will have to rename it as I proposed and consider it a gimmick category.

seen at http://www.speedrun.com/dbzlog#Any_No_Debug

If there is no precedent, you can probably go either way.

isn't this a feature in the game

I'm under the impression that using a debug menu is not allowed by the typical any% definition.

So I request that you rename the categories in light of that.

Any% --> Any% Debug Any% No Debug --> Any%

Thanks

I suppose I would be interested in Lykon's and my IGT on classic hard, but it's not very important.

could someone figure out the ingame time for the current 1st place in classic normal (the fox run)

I feel like my run was executed better but falls behind because of loading times. Probably a wii vs gamecube thing... >>

this is breaking news!

not. we could clip there 5 years ago and the loading zone isn't there until you beat all shadow marios.

I was curious...

In the english version your crew sings some rhyming song for 2 minutes, but I know that was cut out in the german version. Apparently in the french game too?

You can't skip the song in english, right?

didnt know there were version differences

Feet% only use your feet to touch the controller.

I'm against it. Use the original mode, otherwise make it a separate category

Oh, I watched this again and now I see what you mean. Yeah when you bump into the wall before touching the goal, you walk, otherwise you run.

Disregard what I wrote before.

Most stuff in this game runs on timers. In other words, if you're 1 frame early you can save 10 frames, etc. This is interesting for me though, I didn't think there was a spot to save that much time there.

at minimum you need to press A at every 8th frame. so every 0.13 seconds. you have to press A 7.5 times a second.

Unless you use some crazy asian technique to mash A with your thumb, I recommend you hold your GBA or whatever you're using differently and use your index finger.

if you don't pick the metaknight sword and wait a while, the fight starts anyway. Then you an just shoot stars at him & shield

I just verified Chancool's new run, which it said he submitted 5 days ago. But the info on the page now says:

"Submitted by Chancool on 2015-10-11 Verified by Modmugg1991 on 2016-01-17"

That's more than 5 days. Did it take the Submitted-info from his previous run?
