Changes regarding video proof
7 years ago
Nova Scotia, Canada

We've added a new rule to each category regarding video proof, if your time beats the example time for that category it will require video proof to be approved. This is to ensure the leaderboards stay competitive and there isn't drama about fake times or cheaters. You can find each of these times in the "View rules" section of each category, but I'll list them below as well.

(Side note to make sure to include the VS race settings in the video of your run so we know you used the correct rules)

32 Tracks - 1:17:00 32 Tracks (No Skips) - 1:19:00 32 Tracks (No Items) - 1:15:00 32 Tracks (No Items, No Skips) - 1:16:30

Nitro Tracks - 38:00 Nitro Tracks (No Skips) - 40:30 Retro Tracks - 38:30 Retro Tracks (No Skips) - 39:30

Mushroom Cup - 8:00 Flower Cup - 8:30 Star Cup - 9:15 Special Cup - 11:00 Shell Cup - 7:00 Banana Cup - 10:00 Leaf Cup - 10:15 Lightning Cup - 10:30

wait so my run got rejected for 32 tracks no skip no item

i was in a SRL race before

i have proven skill on players page

i have other videos of former BKT's on this site

a youtube channel full of runs

trusted by the commmunity for 8 years

are my runs really going to still be rejected without vid proof? even the run i made before this rule was added?

no salt here, just want to confirm

the point is i believe im trusted and idk i just cant record for hours at a time at the moment, cam only records 40 min, 3ds only 10 min, no smartphone. my laptop os chromebook which cant use livesplit, ao i use it to display the timer in my shorter videos. my fone is too small to display the timer large enough for future vids if i use my laptop to record

im in a predicament where i can no longer compete on this site unless i shell out significant money for a capture device now despite being trusted?

Why should there be exceptions? You know that would only end in everyone claiming they're trusted and more exceptions, etc. Besides, there are many alternatives for livesplit.

It's not the mods' problem that you can't record as there are so many ways now to do it, everyone can record somehow. Whether it's shitty quality or 1080p@60 doesn't matter.

If you really want a capture device, there are easycaps for like less than 10 dollars lol

1(1-1-1--1)OK, even if you wanna install that moving forward, sure, but to remove my /old/ run? Seems pointless and mostly harmful, considering it wasn't even WR.

What's a livesplit alternative for Chromebook? It'd really help tbh.

"everyone can record somehow." This isn't true standalone, nevermind having the right room setup to do so, nevermind actually being able to record for hours, not just minutes.

GV-USB2 capture card from Japan cost me $40. You can definitely whore yourself out on stream to get donations for that. Tell people you'll play anything for a dollar. Let the requests come in, let the money flow in. Where there's a will, there's a way.

GUYS WHY TF WAS MY OLD RUN REMOVED BEFORE THE NEW RULE WAS SET IN WTF

" whore yourself out on stream to get donations for that. "

How could I stream to whore myself out to get a capture card without being able to stream to begin with since I don't HAVE capture card?

"Where there's a will"

Point is, it shouldn't require that much money/effort. also, like I said, my room setup hinders me.

Wish my 38:00 run in nitro tracks skips wasn't rejected because no video, when the rules say all times UNDER 38:00 should have a video... I went into jcool's twitch chat and asked him about it and he said the comment for my run was "shady" just because I explained why I didn't drive well and made deliberate mistakes in BC and RR... Anyway, just wanted to say, I have a way that will hopefully work for me to provide video proof next time

Rhode Island, USA

Haha did you cheat but purposely slowed down so you'd get exactly 38:00 so you wouldn't need a video?

Anyway shouldn't this thread be updated to include..... uh........ example times for itemless/skip indiv cups?

I didn't cheat actually

@Rhodechill do you mean No Skip, because Mushroom Cup WR no skip should not even be 8:00 a flower cup would not even be close to 8:30 no skip. also these standards are still decent for itemless skips runs as well

im sorry what? im just confused at that wording

8:01 on mushroom cup beats current WR no skips, yet wouldn't require video proof. seems problematic, no?

Leaf cup 10:15 is quiteee a strong time skipless and requires no video proof also.

shouldnt we have glitch ¤and¤ no glitch standards?

If you get first place I recon it should be compulsory because if you look at this leaderboard (https://www.speedrun.com/mkw/full_game#Flower_Cup) no skips and no items, first place does not have a video and he has a very good time for no items/skips. He provided he's splits but that means nothing what's stopping him from just making up splits. It just kinda frustrates me. It's spoofy'so run btw.

It would be nice if every run had to be recorded.

I agree video proof should be required for any run.

^Strongly disagree. Only top top times should require this.

^Strongly disagree, runs of this game can be faked so easily apparently and there have been so many faked/false runs submitted so video proof needs to always be required.

Well what I was talking about CLAIMS TO BE WR IN REAGRDS TO SPEEDRUN.COM TO ME THATS TOP. If not then I don't know what's above first place
