The admin team has reached a decision regarding the use of turbo controllers. At this time, speedruns that make use of turbo functions will have their own leaderboard.

This decision comes mostly from an agreement that the game is simply too new to know for certain if any undiscovered run-breaking tech exists that will depend on turbo, such as (for example) manips that are guaranteed with turbo but unviable with manual mashing. To play it safe, we're separating the two at the moment, to give the game a chance to mature to a point where we can definitively rule one way or the other. We settled on this way forward as we feel that it would be more conducive to either an eventual merger, or continuing a split, as opposed to combining them now and trying to sort it all out later if turbo-only tech is found in the future.

This was by no means a unanimous decision, and it came after much thoughtful discussion. The admin room (much like the community at large) is full of diverse opinions on just about everything under the sun. As such, we're open to revisiting this decision at a later date, and we are committed to monitoring trends like turbo vs non turbo popularity, and developments and discoveries in speedrun tech like RNG manips, so that we can do exactly that.

As such, we encourage all members of the community to contribute to speedrun research and development, so that we'll have plenty to monitor and consider to make an informed decision with by the time we revisit this decision!

Thanks for your co-operation everyone. Get those (turbo or non-turbo) submissions in!

Many of you may have seen this already, but I'm posting it here too because of the time-sensitive nature.

Some games with very large leaderboards are prompting moderators to review over 500 runs, and that most likely is just not going to happen for such a huge volume.

I am part of a group that has been working on archiving Youtube videos which will be affected by this change, and we have scraped speedrun.com's API, as well as the leaderboard front-ends for any category with more than 10,000 submissions, as well as the front-ends for all resource and guides sections, for any Youtube links, which we then verified privacy status and publish date for each video against Youtube's API.

A complete (to the best of my knowledge) list of runs, guides, and resources with affected videos can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vR_U0zJrt7D23_vkCIfiHoZDEy2zh_kaARY1QHqFBlwofYtfM3h45xNy7Ca6itwd8_54lAKfVZQVZqc/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true (note that this list excludes rejected vods)

If SRC wants to do anything with this list for moderator notifications, please feel free. Otherwise, moderators can use this to narrow down affected runs and tutorials if they like.

Edit: All of these videos have been completely archived by a team working to preserve as many affected YouTube videos as possible, including rejected runs not included in my google doc above. Restoration efforts will therefore be possible for runs that are not opted-out in time.

Routing discussion aplenty since the 100% boards are looking pretty bare.

asked in the srcom discord and was suggested to post a thread about this, so here goes

an in-person marathon series in Toronto is approaching its 9th iteration, currently we organize it in the Canadian speedrunning discord, however every time we run this marathon a lot of Canadians come out of the woodwork saying they had no idea it was a thing. I figured a forum might help with that. who can I ask about this?

thanks!
