DenmarkIn response to @HowDenKing 's request to have Sanrio Characters Picross added to the Hello Kitty series (here: https://www.speedrun.com/post/h8cdt): Go for it, man! 👍
There are so many fine options for domain names that I think paying an exorbitant sum for highscores.com would be silly. Just a few suggestions that are available (for now):
- highscore/hiscore .guru/.camp/.institute/.academy/.cafe
I think the best option would be to basically dual-brand the site but speedrun.com would default to showing speedrun leaderboards for games while highscore.whatever would default to showing highscores.
I just glitched out the final boss by throwing a potion/bomb while triggering the dialog. I've been trying to reproduce it for about an hour now but to no avail.
Moustache Girl would stay on her throne but she'd simultaneously spawn at the foot of the pile of time pieces and be standing completely still and be able to take damage. I think I beat all of her phases and then the game soft locked forcing me to exit to hub.
No idea if it could make the final boss quicker until I'm able to reproduce it reliably. Anyone else tried something similar?
I also managed to make her disappear from the 2nd phase for another soft lock where I had to exit to hub. No idea how that happened and it certainly wasn't useful.
Since I've been given mod privileges I assume PhoenixRiku is OK with me reorganizing and renaming the categories a little.
"Beat the game" is now "any%" and "All Gems" remains "All Gems" unless someone has a better suggestion — I guess it's technically 100%, so we could go with that to keep it consistent with other games.
The "world X" categories now reside under ILs. (Yeah, it's still not ideal but I think we should keep them since PhoenixRiku appears to be interested in running them.)
I've also added a new IL category: "Best Time (Collect Gem)". Should be pretty self-explanatory.
I'm down for a race too, but seeing as ToRRent and I are in Europe and you guys are United Statesians, we don't have that big of a window to fit it in.
I'm mostly available in the evening/early night — i.e. from around 20:00 UTC (2 PM CST). How does that suit you guys?
@diabl075, @PackSciences: I think we're basically saying the same thing but in different ways. :)
@TechnicalGordon, You've got the opportunity to redeem yourself here. If your PB is more than 50s faster than the segmented run on a run this short then it shouldn't take too many attempts to do a run that at least beats the segmented run. Even if you're rusty it shouldn't take very many attempts before you're at least sub-segmented again. If you don't think your credibility is worth some 15-20 minutes of streaming that's fine, but don't complain about your run/time getting removed then.
Yeah, I was looking at past broadcasts too. Didn't see any timescaling there. He left the vault at 57.7-ish seconds RTA which is perfectly normal as far as I know.
@TechnicalGordon, maybe you could do your Portal: Prelude run again and this time either record a demo or video? I mean, if you can get anything close to the time you originally claimed, then this whole discussion would be moot.
@TechnicalGordon, I think the point is that anyone can produce an image. A video would be better proof — not infallible though but better.
Well-known runners could maybe have a run/time accepted solely on an image of the splits because they've already proven what they're capable of, but it's obviously different with relatively unknown runners.
Also, you were apparently capable of recording your Portal run, so why on earth didn't you just record your run if you were already timing it?
Started playing a bit around with Portal inbounds recently, I would LOVE this. L-O-V-E, love!
