NetherlandsHello everyone! The last few years the LADX community has seen an increasing amount of interest in diverse categories. While Any% (No S+Q/WW/OoB) still sees some activity, Any% (No WW/OoB) has recently gained popularity. This raises the question for which category should be shown first on the leaderboards as shown on https://www.speedrun.com/ladx . In order to gauge interest we have started a poll, which you can find at https://forms.gle/2powkftAnY3fduUf8 .
See the image posted at https://imgur.com/a/ZQYGkGV to see what the difference is visually between the two options. We will keep the poll running for a week, and results will be made public after the vote is over. If you have any preference to which category should be shown on the main page of the leaderboards, please show your interest by voting in the poll and/or join the discord and join the discussion in #classic-general.
Hello everyone!
We're holding an Oracle of Seasons any% tournament starting August 27th with open registration! Deadline for registration is August 25th. All information regarding the tournament can be found on the challonge page https://challonge.com/seasons2018
In the meantime, we'll be doing Essence races up until the tourney, starting this Saturday (7th July, yes tomorrow!) 3 pm EDT (8 PM GMT, 9 PM CEST). We're starting with a 2 essence race and building it up each week with 1 essence to finish up with a full any% showcase before the tournament. These showcase races are separate from the tournament, so even if you do not want to join the tournament feel free to join any of the essence races coming up! The showcase races and tournament will be featured on https://www.twitch.tv/speedgaming , so be sure to tune in!
We hope to see you all there, be it participating in the essence races, tournament or just as viewers!
I was playing around with some 1-M stuff and was looking at ways to skip the 1-6 credits cutscene. Then I found that you could hard reset during the cutscene while still skipping your progress. This also works on the well cutscene after every stage which seems to save around 4 seconds. See the video I made for comparison
Wanted to put this up for discussion before using it in runs since reset times are a bit variable between platforms. What would be your opinion about using this in runs? (It would also seem to affect the first 4 stages run)
There aren't any rules or details mentioned for any of the meme runs. What would be nice to have is a list of:
- Any restrictions (sq/ww/oob/dupe?) and/or banned actions?
- When does the timer stop?
- What exactly is the goal (looking at you "all upgrades")?
It would increase the clarity of the categories, since right now all you can go on is a category name.
I know warr90 had a list¤ of these memes with added details about restrictions and objective, is that the list we should use for these categories or are the rules too restrictive for some/all categories?
¤warr90's list of the memes: Fish the Pond - Any% - Catch every fish in the pond 999 Rupees - No WW/OoB - Time ends at 999 rupees L2 Sword - No Dupe/WW/OoB - Time ends when you touch the L2 Sword All Songs - No WW/OoB - Time Ends Once you recieve the last song Boomerang% - No WW/OoB - Time Ends once you recieve the Boomerang Color Dungeon - No WW/OoB - Time ends upon receiving the Tunic. All Pictures - No WW/OoB - Time Ends Once you had all 12 Pictures World Map Completion - No WW/OoB - Time Ends when you open your completed world map. Equipment Upgrade (Bomb,Arrow&Powder) - No WW/OoB - Time ends one your last upgrade from the Mad Batter. Trendy% - Win all the Items in the Trendy Game - Time ends on the collection of the last item. Save The Guy! - Save Papahl on Tal Tal Heights by giving him the Pineapple! Full Moon Cello - No WW/OoB - Complete D1 - Time ends when you collect the Cello.
