yes, the PC version of Sonic Adventure 2 is based on the Gamecube SA2B version, and the Battle DLC thats sold on Steam has nothing to do with the changes from SA2 on Dreamcast to SA2B on Gamecube, so the name is misleading, and the Battle DLC also has no effect on any speedruns aside from 180 Emblem runs. All versions go on these leaderboards here

you can click the hourglass icon at the top of the site and then "pending actions", then you can see all your submitted runs that havent been verified yet and edit them. Timing method is no big deal, that is something I can just fix when verifying, but it appears that something else went wrong when submitting cause you didnt put in a valid link to a video of your run, so you'd have to fix that

Sonic games traditionally had their individual level leaderboards hosted on http://www.soniccenter.org/. A couple of games have since added IL boards here but others that arent very active like this one havent

This game exists under a couple of different names depending on the regions: EU: Total Drivin NA: Car & Driver presents: Grand Tour Racing '98 JP: Gekisou!! Grand Racing FR: M6 Turbo Racing

In my understanding, all versions are just different localizations of the same game with only minor differences. Differences are listed in the GTR98 wiki here: https://gtr98.wordpress.com/2014/01/01/about-total-drivin-m6-turbo-racing/

I added the game to SRcom under the European name for a number of reasons, but as of now I consider each version to be the same game and are therefore all accepted for this leaderboard. However, I only own the European version and I don't know how much these minor differences affect the run. Should the need come up in the future, we can discuss possibly splitting the leaderboards between versions, either by subcategories, or by requesting the other versions as their own game on the site

the problem is i think IGT would work for Any% No OoB but not for any of the other categories. 100% and 100% No OoB have the cutscene skip, which would become completely irrelevant with IGT. 100% and any% have different routing variations that make the menuing faster or slower. And I think the biggest problem is that there's the any% route that goes into the options during the run and changes the weather, which with IGT you wouldnt get penalized for at all.

(also id argue that even in any% No OoB menuing is part of the run even with how minor it is but id be okay with looking past that)

Good to see you! Unfortunately, it seems it is not possible to edit the author of guides, but feel free to repost them under your new account and I can delete the old ones

i'm sorry but this game does not have a very large community and i really dont think every game needs to have a category extensions page. Just because you can think of categories to put on there doesnt mean it needs to exist as a leaderboard. And to be perfectly honest level centurions are just ridiculous. If you wanna do that go ahead but we really dont need to have leaderboards for that

i have never worked with co-op runs as a moderator before so i'm not sure how youd set it up on leaderboards the best. I think it would have to be separate categories

I implemented the leaderboard split for No bonus boxes / bonus boxes. I think I sorted in all runs correctly, let me know if I missed something

changed that

id rather not have people farm mod pods during runs. If you wanna use them, make sure you have them at the beginning of the run

would anyone be opposed to having subcategories for runs with and runs without bonus boxes? This would be a second row of tabs under no skips / skips, and would double the total amount of possible categories, but I think this would be the best solution to this

I originally saw these things more similar to vehicle modifications rather than game-mode changes. My suggestion would be, if it turns out you have to use them to be competitive, we can make a leaderboard split, so that theres one subcategory for bonus boxes and one for runs without. I'm not sure if thats the case right now, given that only one of the current records uses them, but we're keeping an eye on that

Of course I'm always open for further discussion there if you have any other ideas or concerns

this was a deliberate choice when I originally set up the leaderboards, though I'm open to changing this if most people disagree with me there. Right now the glitchless / glitched distinction is set up as a different subcategory rather than a different category. The reason I did that is because currently there are very few tracks that have skips at all, and I just think it looks really bad if theres tons of main categories that have no entries. Like this it still looks like there are entries for every IL, and not like almost half the boards are empty

im not sure if i understand your problem but if youre working with 2 decimal digits make sure to type them in correctly. For example if the race time says .25 and you use a calculator that expects 3 digits, type it in as .250 cause otherwise it might misread it as .025

for time calculation I personally use this calculator: http://www.unitarium.com/time-calculator it sometimes has weird behavior with how it displays decimals (for example displaying .1 as .099999999999) but you can just round that and this calculator has been proven to be reliable over the years

We also have added a No skips / skips subcategory distinction for both single segment as well as individual level runs. This is to cover the possibilities of players using strats (glitches?) that very clearly skip parts of levels such as those in Sky Road or any possible future discoveries

single segment categories are up! If there are any questions or concerns regarding any of the categories we are happy to discuss them

Team Adventure 100% is not yet added to the leaderboards, because we're not agreed yet on what that category should require. This will be added once we have found a solid definition

Time Trial leaderboards are live. Single segment categories will be added shortly

oh yeah it does track the difficulty youve beaten the events at so that probably needs to be included as well (or maybe you just purposely ignore that for simplicity sake and just say all stars and all keys). Either way I think its gonna be a while until someone actually does a 100% run

the way I see it, the any% and 100% categories should probably only include the Team Adventure mode. So the full category names should probably be Team Adventure any% and Team Adventure 100% rather than just any% and 100%. That's how the categories are definited in All-Stars Racing Transformed as well. So 100% as I see it would only include getting all stars and keys? Unless theres something else the game tracks during the Team Adventure mode that I'm not aware of

Getting all unlocks just seems like a tedious grind that would be very hard to track if you even have completed it
