SupporterSorry for the delay here, I have applied the fix and everything is now under a variable category in the Arcade seciton.
Since no other mods have dropped in, I am inclined to say it's a separate category. I'm gunna double check the timing before making the move but should be completed in the next day or two!
Do you have a photo with the final time?
Hey DonAtreides,
Thanks for the very helpful info. I'll take a closer look this week and return with an update!

Nice run, Planetaryashes. I placed this under Emulation w/ Mouse instead of Arcade. I know it's under the PS2 section but I feel that is the best place for this run where you are competing with other equatable runs.
having flashbacks to tablecloth 56. Nothing like creating a mysterious new profile to call someone out.
Hey TheXploder,
It may take me some time to set up but this is certainly possible. We don't want to discourage those who are interested in the TCII community!
Are you emulating the arcade version or the PS2 version? This would decide where I nestle the category. I can do some other updates at the same time!
LMK and I'll keep you updated. Join the discord channel for faster communication and updates!

Hey Marc-Andre_Morin, the mods would need to make that and it takes a lot of time but if you request again or join the discord, someone could probably set it up.
Vector_Delta, 1. the game doesn't really change much as far as the number of enemies, health, and RNG due to difficulty so in order to keep things to one leaderboard, u should only run on very hard.
- While you should use Arcade defaults, getting hit and continues do not affect whether or not it's a speedrun. Others may comment a run is, 'less impressive' if you take damage but a record is a record. Plenty of speedruns include taking intentional damage if it means a faster time or even the possibility of a faster time so don't listen to those ppl.
Agreed. I also miss the runs prior to the discovery of the invincibility glitch, especially using the Biochambers to move around.
Hey Everyone,
I would have liked to post a run before asking this but alas. I think it'd be cool to have a CryBaby% category. We do already have 1 run! Not sure how M1 would feel about it but similar to the All Modules run, you get to see much more of the game/ship, as well as not being as optimized as the Any%.
At any rate, I enjoyed the CryBaby speedrun and thought it'd be cool to make it a thing, in spite of the weird rules n' stuff.

Finally set it all up under Story Mode - Arcade. LMK what you think!
Awesome RyanWalker1, congrats on the run! I don't have time today but should have time tomorrow to set up the page.
Exciting to have new people and avenues to speedrun added to the community. Welcome!
I suppose emulated runs could be accepted if you were using a guncon or lightgun on a monitor and could prove the operations were essentially the same.
However, we could create another category to provide space for emulated runs performed with a mouse. I'm assuming it'd faster for sure.
If you don't have any recording equipment, I have found the link below is one of best items for recording older games, provided you have a computer that can handle recording. You'll also need RCA Splitters and cords to split the video from the console to the TV and recording unit.

You technically do not a time splitter for TC because In-game time is shorter and more important but some people like to use a splitter to see how they are doing in the run. Speedrun.com may have some forums on how to start speedrunning with tips and links, etc. so I would suggest roaming the site a bit as well.
Yo where's @tablecloth56 when you need him? obvi @WatdaFx41 is cheating guys!!!!!
depending on what system your capturing, the GV-USB2 can be a very good option. pretty amazing capture for the price and you can continue to use it even if you upgrade to hdmi or component capture.
Hey guys,
Here's a link to a co-op run I did on Friday, 8/16.
Info is in the link. I'd love to mod for this one too!
Thanks!
Alright, I've added the subcategories to the main page! If other pedal runs get submitted to a different category, I'll add the subs at that time.
After some more thought and exploring other games, I think we'll just do a sub-category under console runs for now that includes some sort of foot pedal system.
Feel free to add your thoughts if you think this should change.
