United StatesI verified it last night. You must have edited it or something to pull it from the board, because I just had to re-verify it.
Categories updated. One run moved. I'll leave the others for now since I'm going on a week long vacation. :)
I propose that for each of these, if we get two runs posted in thread, we'll add the board.
Best upgrades: Timing begins with control of the hero after the exterior shot cutscene. Control ends with control loss after defeating the Evil One, when the end music begins. Player must acquire – but is not required to use or have at the end – Dragon Slayer, Battle Suit, Battle Helmet, Tilte, Elixir, Magical Rod, Black Onyx, and all four rings.
Full status: Timing begins with control of the hero after the exterior shot cutscene. Control ends with control loss after defeating the Evil One, when the end music begins. Player must have at the end of the game Rank Lord, all weapons, all armors, all magic spells, Elixir, Pendant, Black Onyx, Magical Rod, and all four rings.
Best in slot would just mean getting Tilte and battle helmet yes. Sounds like a complete waste of a category?
I can do a rule writeup per Shiner's post if people REALLY want to do this.
I'm hearing no objections. Will try to set it up this week.
It's going to be a little slow, since I'm going to have to move over any emulator run without evidence submitted of a controller.
So Shiner is proposing you have to buy ALL items and spells?
Anyone disagree?
I' d be against having to buy consumable items, including the Elixir, myself. Let's not make it even more grindy than it has to be.
How do we define 100% in a way that's meaningfully more interesting?
An SDA definition might require Tilte, Battle Helmet, Battle Suit, Pendant.
Do we really want to take any% and add a metric ton of grinding?
Any objections to a keyboard category, requiring a D-Pad for the main board?
For now I have selected "Emulator runs hidden by default" due to the clear majority seeing a problem with the difference in input methods. I have also verified lucandor158's run.
If you're playing on emulator I'm not sure 30fps is acceptable for a WR claim.
Right. It would be better to have this discussion BEFORE someone makes a WR claim.
Just going to throw this out there: We don't have to put emulators in another category. That's what filters are for. We could just filter emulators off by default. That's another option.
I'm all for just requiring controller, and video proof of controller for emulator users.
This is why you should submit all your PBs, by the way. Not just an out of the blue WR. That always invites extra scrutiny, and nobody should feel badly about that.
