This probably isn't what you were all expecting-

Super Golf actually times you the frame your ball spawns in, NOT the frame is starts moving. This means, if we fully rely on IGT, the runs are 500% more stressful because you have to make precise movements at precise angles really fast.

I know this because I was doing HIO practice on Level 2 (Oasis) and got an HIO, but the game said it was 16 seconds. That is just WAY too long! My normal HIO times for Level 2 are 8-10 seconds. Having a 16 second time for an HIO, especially on a level as short as 2, is just wrong.

I think it would be easier to just SPRT every hit from the frame the ball starts to move to either the frame the ball stops moving, or the frame the message appears that you got the ball in the hole.

If you moderators don't want to do this, I highly suggest hiring me to do it for you!

I recently set a 5:54, at least according to the game, I'll SPRT it and see what comes up.

Having to time by sprt is what killed mini golf. the igt is all powerful and defying it would destroy the boards.

Plus, the needing the fire precise shots fast is what makes it a speedrun. Get Good.

@VegetaTheSaiyan8 quit flexing

Okay- Here's proof: After retiming level 1 (including the time it took for me to charge 2nd shot) I ended up with 7.033 compared to the game's 10.580. That's a huge difference. It's also all I need to prove the game's "timing" is horrible.

Also VegetaTheSaiyan8 I already said I'd be happy to do it. You're literally mad that I'm asking to help the community.

United States

No. what i mean is that the timer starting the moment you spawn in is intended, and it rewards players who can take shots fast. Removing it will not work.

@VegetaTheSaiyan8 Isn't this game more precision than speed? Having the timer when your ball spawns in rather than upon first movement doesn't seem right.

I'm giving people a fair-er change of beating you. I understand if that's something you'd be mad about, as I would be too, but you are so much better than everybody else here. Your secret? Being fast.

Golf IRL Is about having real precise shots, not being fast. Mini Golf IRL is the same thing. Why should it change? I already said it just makes it even more stressful.

Also, Mini Golf died because Super Golf took it's place.

After retiming with SPRT (from first frame the ball moves to first frame the message, Par, Birdie, Eagle, Hole In One, etc. appears), Here's the times for levels 1-7 in my run. 1: 7.033 2: 6.400 3: 0.833 (Likely incorrect, looks to be maybe 1.1s) 4: 2.267 5: 6.100 6: 8.167 7: 10.167 The IGT said for most of these was 4-6 seconds more than what SPRT gave me.

it's precision and speed. mini golf did infact die because us mods were tired of retiming for it because it drained every spare minute from our days. the current timing method is fine because it is consistent throughout every run. This is a speedrun. Golf itself is not about being fast, but it's literally speedrunning. locked
