Can anyone confirm if this is really the same game? https://h5.4j.com/games/Ballz-Online/index.html?pubid=7DQVUYVL&v=1496357050

Suggestion: there should be 5 categories

• Normal Any% (this is the current "normal" category)
• Normal 100%
• Endurance Any%
• Endurance 100%
• Sudden Death

(100% meaning you can't lose any lives)

Four Second Frenzy already existed in 2006, as seen in the comment timestamps here: http://jmtb02.deviantart.com/art/Four-Second-Frenzy-36890053

I know it may sound obvious... but I think the rules should clearly state that a video with audible original sound effects is required (to avoid cheating).

I'm new to the whole speedrunning thing, so... Are you guys ok with some kind of tool-assisted category here, or should I go for tasvideos.org instead?

Also, how do you guys plan on verifying if a run is tool-assisted or not for this game?

WEAPONS For future non-Tutorial categories, any weapons already unlocked by the player should be allowed. Restricting weapons would be too much hassle, requiring multiple game data resets.

TIMING

• General: Timer should be started on the frame where the level is rendered on screen
• Tutorial: Timer should be stopped/frozen on the frame where the victory text starts getting rendered on screen
• Non-Tutorial: Timer should be stopped/frozen on the frame where the score is increased (reaching the defined goal)

PROOF The video should also contain the original sound effects, to avoid cheating.
