Total Newb Question for IL
Yep. I've seen runs and sections in my "Settings" about IL...but I have no idea what that means, LOL! So...this may sound dumb, but can someone explain what IL means?? <3
IL stands for "Individual Level"
It depends on the leaderboard, but most of the time people use it for:
- Runs of a specific section or level Examples: http://www.speedrun.com/tsiiyh/individual_levels - http://www.speedrun.com/smb1/individual_levels
While in Any% and so on, we'd be doing runs from the start to the end of the game, in ILs, we just care about doing a dungeon or level as fast as possible.
- Time Attack mode / Time Trial (racing games) Examples: http://www.speedrun.com/Initial_D_Gaiden/individual_levels - http://www.speedrun.com/idss/individual_levels
For some games, it can be more competitive than the "main" categories (Any%, 100%, etc), mostly because the rules are different, and because you only do one part instead of the whole game, you may be able to use more items or strats to be faster.
