Sidenote: I am actually more okay with "naked%" as being discussed in another topic... Reason being for instance I believe you ARE literally naked in Dark Souls/Breath of the wild if you wanna go for such a run? Granted Low% or No Gear/Equipment would arguably be a better name for it..?

I can't say im a sensitive person per se and I enjoy my fair share of dark humor enough to have people look at me with big eyes and wondering how many times I got dropped as a kid to joke about certain shit. But to go on record at SRC with a "Threesome%" stands out to me as just childish and without class to the game itself and its community. I'm quite frankly appalled by this decision and I cannot BELIEVE this got accepted by moderators alone.

As much as twitch doesn't allow certain usernames, there's a line we shouldn't cross here as well just to keep speedrunning on a somewhat professional level. I don't endorse this decision and I for one hope that we don't start to see this trend snowballing into something bigger on speedrun.com as a whole. Distasteful to say the least.

Title says it all, thank f*ck im done with that...

Will cover Dracula quick kill, quad drops and JC zombies too HOWEVER... as of now, the initial tutorial for any% is completed.

I already pitched this to skunky during one of his streams and with so many franchises or solo games having discord servers nowadays, I was surprised to learn TMNT didn't. Now, I have just about no experience on these games so I will not be the one responsible behind potentially setting up the discord if that were to be a thing, instead I would recommend that the mods for each game collectively come together and try to set things up.

I do plan to run this game in the future, so im trying to help me out in the longrun as a secret agenda :P But if karate kid or little mermaid have discord servers, I think TMNT could fix one as well ; )

Feel free to discuss about it!

I'm currently working on the tutorial for any% https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLotJKlE4aX01in7CJQstwReZ60qkKxQvP

I touch the topic in Part 1 so sneak that for some information.

But generally: Stairs reset vaule to 0, jumping will change the value, taking damage will change it and whipping in air will change it, sub-weapon in air will change it. For most floordrops we basically reset in stairs and use that current value knowledge to our advantage to setup the correct value through determined movements for each drop. It becomes pretty apparent once you start watching other runs more in detail as the movement generally isn't random. I do cover these floordrop setups in the tutorial as well.

Edit: Welcome to CV2, here's an invite to the discord https://discord.gg/2aKqGG

I've been nagging about this in the discord channel and with no happy results. I would consider learning this with emulation, but until the community can remove that rule and instead add "emu" as a sub-category for console a.k.a

COUGH https://www.speedrun.com/sm64

Then I don't see myself even touching this game.. I live in PAL regions and it's too much off a hassle and of a cost to get a hold of everything needed to run this game just because the community itself are so anti-emulation. There is just no good reason NOT to open the doors up for emulation runners on a separate category, hell if SM64 which is far more popular and picky about lag accuracy - are willing to open that window up... Just my two cents >_>

I have interest in learning this eventually, but I'm also concerned if even with the tutorial vids provided, if I get stuck and need help solving some spots or issues with the game. As far as I've heard - this is the only means of communication between runners aside from potentially catching a live streamer?

Well then.. Why is there no discord server for ways of faster communication? I've had great experience from other communities I've learned games for which have used this feature - so it's shocking to know I'd have to go back to pm messages waiting for responses in forum threads if I ever got stuck..

I understand the biggest argument for keeping forums is to save useful information, but that doesn't give the best, fastest line of communication for easier solved questions. How come this franchise haven't taken advantage of discord yet?

As of now, I'd be too concerned to learn any Metroid game for this reason. I understand it's easy to point fingers and not give a s¤it about some random guy coming into your house just to complain.

But I am a runner and I've always wanted to run this, but the tools of doing so seems so outdated compared to other titles that I feel discouraged to pick it up : ( Is main line of communication gonna continue like this for the years to come?
