SupporterOh one more question: For campaigns that have bonus missions, does full game only mean the main missions or does it require the bonus missions too? For example, would Darth Vader's full game run be missions 1-5 or missions 1-7? Or OOM-9, would his be missions 1-6 or 1-7?
Im gonna get into filling the leaderboard soon so I'll let you know when I get there but moderate is cool for now :)
Can the levels be played on any difficulty for full game runs or should they be completed on moderate difficulty like the level leaderboards show?
Thank you!
I'm not sure if it's allowed or not but if it's not allowed, I would say it should be because GBA is listed here on speedrun.com as a platform the game was available on.
If it's seriously different you could make a different category but I say it should be allowed for sure.
@zekekemarcus It's sort of amazing to me that human error and bad RNG have only put us 7 minutes behind the perfect run.
@DarkMan64000 Actually, while you are correct that in a real run it is not practical, in this TAS it probably should have been used. So for the TAS, I agree with @7hornet
So these questions were never answered:
Are full game runs done in RTA or IGT? I suggest RTA cause that's how full game runs typically go.
Is a new file required for Any% full game runs or are completed files viable? I know that new files aren't required for ILs.
The version differences between the Wii and 360/PS3 are honestly kinda staggering, to the point where the level designs are hugely different and some levels are only in the Wii version, and vice versa for the 360/PS3.
I want to run this games Wii version and wonder if a Wii run would fit in with the Console categories or if a separate category itself should be made for the Wii. In a lot of ways, they were two different games.
Please let me know what you think! :)
I've routed out All Character Missions and 100%, and I made a meme category called "Web Slingin' Ass Kickin'" for shits and giggles (for this one, the timer ends when Spider-Man says that line, as early as you can get him to say it). I'll be doing these runs over the course of the next few days, maybe not 100% yet though, cause that does require 2 play throughs of the game and I think a fresh memory card too if you want to include getting all the Vs. mode characters (it wouldn't extend the run except for the time it takes to say "Vs. Mode Character Unlocked" or whatever the screen is, because in 100% you'd have to do every mission of the game anyways, so that can be discussed).
I'll definitely do All Character Missions and Web Slingin' Ass Kickin' quite soon though. I know the latter is silly but I think meme categories are always pretty fun.
I know I'm pretty much the only one doing these runs, so I know it's not really competitive, but it's fun and that's what matters to me lol. Why don't you do any runs for the game?
So I've been bored and had recently thought about a different Marvel Nemesis run where you have to do all 5 of every character's missions, call it "All Character Missions" or something of the like. The only missions you can't do are every Elimination Round unfortunately.
I also had a thought for 100%, where you have to start from a fresh memory card and unlock all cards, vs. characters, comics, movies, etc. I don't know about this though cause it would require probably more than 2 whole play throughs.
Out of the two of these I'd prefer All Character Missions than 100%, atleast for now. Only cause 100% for this game would be quite long.
There are 2 tricks you can do to knock a lot of time off on each and every level. If you select a "New" file, after every level you will see a roughly 3 second long "Card Unlocked" screen. By starting the game again from an already completed file, the cards will already be unlocked, and this cutscene will not play. This applies to literally every level of the game. The second thing is to turn off your autosave. This will prevent the game from saving after each level. These 2 things combined send you straight to the mission select screen after completing a level rather than waiting 10 seconds to get back.
This is also why I think the wording for the Time Start rule is a bit misleading. My WR run was verified and I did not select a "New" file necessarily, just started a new game. This was also before rules were defined. The rule should state something like "Timing Starts on Starting a New Game", rather than selecting "New" on the menu.
It's an enormous time save and worth a slight wording modification. Thank you.
I'm not a regular runner but I do like these rules. However does the bofamdad bag only give you 10? Doesn't that mean the player would have to die 24 times lol? I mean I get it as 100% it's just sort of odd to require I suppose. This will be a long run category.
If everyone else seems content with the Bofamdad thing I have no personal objections otherwise.
You have to beat like 85% of the game to get there. It would end after Dragon Rock when you get the cape claw meter expansion.
Just to open up more categories for the game, how about a category where you just best the games prologue? Timer starts on file select and ends when Krystal releases the first Krazoa Spirit. This would make for a very quick run but fun too. You could call it Prologue or maybe just Krystal.
I do see a few objections, primarily that its mostly cutscenes. But still. Just an idea.
