Florida, USAI've brought it up, and I've done a run of it before. Would like to see it on the boards
well, if you know you're going to hit a wall, try to hit it as parallel as possible. You lose a lot less speed that way, as you just kinda graze the wall or bounce off as opposed to losing a ton of momentum from hitting it with the back of the car
If you're doing it from the track itself, it only works on the Japanese version for whatever reason. Otherwise you have to go inside the track (by hitting the water and bouncing over it with a shroom) and do it that way
From what I know (I haven't fully tested this in TAS but this is from my experience), you have to be rotated by Lakitu the whole time for it to work. No idea why, but if Lakitu spins you the entire time as he puts you down, you'll be able to, and if he straightens out, you wont.
Whenever someone tries to submit to Split/Second's leaderboards, it signs them out for some reason.
I use VisualBoyAdvance, works fine for me, usually 99-100%
its a kind of miniturbo that can only be done by zigzagging back and forth with a worn down/modified dpad. normally such a thing would be banned, BUT since it happens naturally its fine. dont worry about it until you have like... 1:04 all cups? you need a solid understanding of the game, its physics, and gimmicks first, which comes with time
I dont see it being a problem. You dont even need video since its so awful trying to live record this game on original hardware. Don't worry about it too much
Yeah, the only difference is full-game, the two consoles have minor differences but its not like one track is a second faster than another.... well, not yet anyway lol
Survival Races is kinda pointless to do, since its basically RNG whether the barrels slow you down. Surprised all races doesnt exist, honestly. That category should exist.
on ILs, xbox and ps3 are the same in terms of what can be done. I've done WRs on both consoles, in fact. It's just that most of the more serious time trialers focus on PS3 because its easier to do faster times there. Noting that a player played on one or the other is good though. I'll try to get more people in the Discord too.
I dont know about removing Evil's run, but I dont think he would mind too much, he doesn't play anymore.
The reverse trick is frowned upon by a lot of people, mostly the old-school players. Some guys have used it, but it gets really annoying to reverse over and over just to crash into the first wall. Runners dont enjoy that lol. Canyon detonator though? Go for it!
Yeah, PSP can be there... but you won't see a run for a while lol. And yeah, Lucky is a mod so he has final say on that
Also worth noting: No one plays the PSP version of the game, no one. Even the cars in the game drive differently, its not really the same game at all. Noting times as being on xbox and ps3 are important too, as the PS3 controller is actually preferred by many as being a superior controller for this game compared to xbox.
If you want, I formally request being a moderator for this game, but if 3 is enough, I'm fine with just being a runner. I'll be more active in the future, I promise! ;)
Hey guys, Rusty here.
Sorry about my inactivity, SRC isnt a primary focus of mine atm since S/S has been dead on this site. As a player of this game for 5 years, I want to make a few clarifications to what's been said here.
Firstly, Xbox and PS3 times should be different for full game runs. In my experiences, my Xbox and PS3 runs for detonator are actually almost 2 min different, with Xbox being faster by a lot (didnt record so not on the boards). This may be because my console is trash but who knows, will require further testing.
Second point: This game is not dead by any means. The SRC site is "dead", but that's because no main members of the S/S community use it. Mostly, they simply post their stuff to Youtube. There's an old facebook group that has been used since the game came out, in game chats, whatsapp, etc, so most people have stayed in their own places instead of branching out here. Many of my times that are on the site aren't even the real WRs, with players like CutandPlay, Digital Dope, and Brizzity having better times than my own. I'll do my best to get people to transfer here though.
Thirdly, we actually have a discord server! I've been trying to get one started for this game for a while now, but no one had really made it active until the past couple months. You can join it here (and I'll give you two src mod roles) https://discord.gg/GyecmQ
Also, deadline doesn't even really deserve a category here. The timer runs down, as you know, but its faster than doing a lap normally. You could get "Deadline WR" by sitting still and letting the timer run down, which is why I never bothered even doing it. I also suggest banning the reverse trick strategy in Detonator, where you stop before the line and reverse to accelerate. It's against the spirit of the game imo, and I never even attempted optimizing it beyond beating the non-RT WRs 2 years ago. The Canyon trick has started coming into vogue though, so legalizing it is fine by me.
Finally, I really appreciate that you guys are showing genuine interest in rebuilding the community for this game. I love this game with all my heart and it saddened me that no one cared about it here, that's why I kinda gave up a couple months ago. Nevertheless, let's try to bring this game back to its glory days together! :)
