Initial D (PS1)

1. I do not agree about RNG , RNG is controllable thing by player. [/quote]

Not always.

[quote] 2. He actually ignored suggestion. [/quote]

He didn't, otherwise he wouldn't have responded to you.

[quote] 3. Yes i will not respect community with wrong rules. And i will respect if its right. [/quote]

If you don't respect the community then you shouldn't be here. If you can't show / have respect for others, then you have a big problem sir, you should really work on it before trying to force your opinion / rules on a leaderboard.

[quote] 4. Ping have nothing to do with time, black screen moment means time of how fast client pc hardware load this screen. So you are wrong. [/quote]

Ping affects online games, World Of Tanks is an online game. Sorry, you're wrong.

Now, please, be civilized and listen to others instead of rejecting every reply that isn't close to your opinion and ideas. A leaderboard is a place for a community about the game, and since it's a community, it means rules, ideas, changes, should be decided by the entire community, NOT just by one person (in this case, that's you).

A God huh ?

You should take a look at http://www.soniccenter.org/ also, since it's where most sonic stuff is (Time Attack, ILs, Score Attack, and so on)

[quote] For ILs that use an in-game timer it would be a lot nicer to upload a photo of the time rather than require a full video. [/quote] Actually, some people allows that, it kinda depends on the game and the mods.

[quote] So, with a game like Boktai, every time you play it is basically from start to finish, or until you make an error? [/quote] Depends on how long it's been, most of the time i'd try to finish unless i do something that i think is unacceptable (like losing 5+mn where i shouldn't)

[quote] btw, is the solar sensor of Boktai an essential function of the game? Does the emulated version account for that at all? Is there any advantage in playing with the actual cartridge? Oh, I just noticed that the categories are split, so maybe there is a difference. [/quote] It's essential, in fact, basically the game works around it, especially the other ones, the energy you recover increases with how much UV Rays / sunlight the sensor gets. It's also needed for finishing bosses and it also affects some of the maps.

Like, if you have too much sun detected water would just evaporates, ice would melt, fire would do more damage, things like that.

It's one of the reasons why Console and Emulator are 2 different categories for these games, if you're using emulator you have to use a patch, with it, you can raise and decrease the sunlight block by block as much as you want. On console you would rarely get the max amount, also managing the blacklight to get UV rays while playing feels totally different compared to emulator, since on emulator you'd just do like; L + A buttons + right or left to increase / decrease amount.

• How do you learn a new game? Personnaly, i try watching a run, if possible done live, it's better since you can talk with the runner(s) Also, during a live stream mistakes happens, so it's useful to see back-up strats also

• How do you practice? Rarely do, but when i do i try to get the same conditions as during a run, to make sure everything is accurate

• Do you set goals? If so, then how? Depends, most goals i've set were about better routing so far

• Do you have a personal philosophy or method? Huh... fun is what should matter the most ?

• Do you take it seriously or casually? Probably too seriously, but at the same time i find it hard not to, depending on the games A good example would be Boktai, i'm the only runner with an Any% run, and since we haven't found videos about runs, even on niconico, i guess that kinda means it IS WR... so yeah, to me that puts a lot of pressure when running it, because as the WR holder i feel that i should be really good at it

• At what point to you post your first time? Let's see... about 1 year ago, i've started working on the Boktai games, the first run was alright, considering i barely had any memories from the games

• Do you wanna be the very best? I don't know... i guess ? I'd like to be a great player on initial D, definitly, as for the other games... not sure, i'd just like to have a time i'm satisfied with, i guess (most up-to-date strats, if mistakes, nothing too bad, etc)

• Do you ever stop purely practicing, only playing for PBs? Heh... hard question kinda, i mean, i rarely practice anything, i prefer to do runs directly instead, to me that helps because that way i can find back-up strats, also it kinda feels like i'm looking at the runs / routes from another perspective

• If so, then at what point do you feel that you don't need to practice? Whenever i get the tricks right many times in a row, that's when i think it should be fine It's always good to atleast look at them sometimes too, just in case

• Do you play multiple games? Yes

• When do you decide to stop playing a game? Whenever i don't feel like playing it or when i don't have fun on it anymore

• What motivates you to keep going? Communities, but not only that, for Boktai and Initial D games, it was more than that to me Barely anyone were streaming these games, not many people knew about them too, especially Boktai

When i realized that, i felt like i HAD to do something, so i started doing runs, routing the games, practicing, streaming them, i wanted to gather fans and to show to people how good these unknown games are too

• Do you go back to games that you already stopped playing? Can happen

• What motivates you to get back into a game? Seing streams of it, listening to the OST, sometimes it comes from people talking about it too

so far, 4h11mn and 21 seconds on Boktai 3.

I'd like to say it was a run, but it's more like a trainwreck.

You still can afaik, also if it's not listed on the leaderboard (the console i mean), then just say you ran on it in your run comment. Or just contact the mods of the leaderboard about adding the console to it.

Also, i think you might be interested in that; http://www.speedrun.com/oot/thread/oti6s

ah i see, thanks man !

Since this is a bug related to the new layout, i'm posting that here.

If you check this leaderboard; http://www.speedrun.com/ides/individual_levels and compare it to my actual PBs http://www.speedrun.com/user/xDrHellx/individual_levels you'll notice that some times are different, in fact, some of my PBs are way faster, but for some reason they do NOT show up on the game's leaderboard anymore o_o

Wich is weird because if i open one of the times that aren't actually my PB, it says "(Obsolete)", but i can't find my actual PBs anywhere.

I haven't checked the other leaderboards, but i bet this isn't only for Initial D : Extreme Stage. Please fix ASAP.

I think most of the time they just change some data in the game folders, not sure though. If you check Hyper Light Driver, you'll notice they have some old patches if you want to run on them, in the resources part.

Personnaly, i still feel a bit lost. Oh well, nice job though !

So basically, because your console broke you "couldn't" do your job as a moderator ? That's a pretty shity excuse tbh :/

Either way, it seemed like you added people RANDOMLY as moderators, wich probably was the main problem. You should have asked people first, also maybe you should have looked for people who actually played the game too.
