Well, not ¤exact¤ copies, MarioManTAW. The VC version runs at a different framerate. So at a top level it's useless for speedrunning.

I was unaware of any framerate difference. Is it significant? I was talking about in terms of levels, mechanics and graphics.

Well considering SMB WRs these days literally come down to frames, its' a huge difference.

VC games run at ~60.002 fps. The actual NES and Famicom run at ~60.098 fps. That sounds small but it means the VC runner will lose about a second, for every ten minutes of gameplay. So for SMB, that means you're losing ~30 frames on a WR-pace run.

Consider that one frame rule is ~20 frames, and the runners are breaking their backs trying to save just that much, in 4-2.

Oh. Wow. Yeah, I watched the WR and it's pretty fast, although it looked like there were some places he could have saved time by going into pipes the first time he landed on them.

Yeah it's not possible. The new WR run by Darbian is frame-perfect using all known human-possible strats through 8-3. It saves every frame without using strats are are effectively TAS-only, like arbitrary wall clips (including the wall clips into the flagpoles). The only time losses are in 8-4 on the turnaround, and in the water.

This sounds weird but the truth is, you can only save time before 8-4 in increments of 20 frames. The game only lets you out of the black screen-transition screens in intervals of 20 frames. If you save 19 frames on the WR in a level, you don't gain any time because the "frame rule" drops you back.

Been awaiting verification of this run now for 3 days no luck getting in touch with any of the super mods of the game on twitch and 2 of them have been on the site recently without bothering to verify the run yet. I can understand not everyone has the time to verify a run every day, but if this is what I have to look forward to moving forward in submitting further runs of this game I'm gonna need a way to submit runs faster because how things look now if more people decide to run this game in the future this would be something to solve now before we have a gridlock of runs un-verified.

Game: Metal Gear Solid Timer Rules: In-Game-Timer Is used to establish world record. RTA timer starts when pushing start at difficulty screen.

Friendly reminder of the first post & For those that are new here:

This thread is specifically for moderation requests and changes for already existing leaderboards. Please link to the game to help facilitate requests.

Please keep in mind that using this thread is somewhat a last resort, in case the current moderators are not responding or refusing your help without justification. You should always start by asking the Super mods of a game/series as they are also able to add mods. Twitch messages to mods are probably best for now.

Moderator inactivity doesn't apply until around 3 weeks, depending on other circumstances, and it is expected that you try to contact them (exceptions may be made if they have been offline ~3+ months.)

Cyberdemon531/Deln: Yeah, generally handhelds and console should most probably be separate games. If I create the new game can you move the runs over? There's not really a hard rule on the divisions between consoles, but if it looks the same and has the same content (Like many GC/PS2/Xbox games or XboxOne/Ps4), it has often been under 1 game.

VideoGameRoulette: It's not a requirement that moderators verify runs every time they visit the site. Feel free to leave a message on the game forum as well, as many people get site notifications when new threads are started there.

Hi. I'm requesting moderator status of Mark of the Ninja. Currently both moderators for the game have been inactive for months and the runs on the list are dreadfully outdated. We primarily maintain them on a thread on the SDA forums, but I'd like to get SR back up to speed in case anyone looked into the game. Nearly every category has been improved, at least one category is not listed, and another category that isn't recognized in the MotN community is still listed with no runs.

We in the mario 2 community would like to add the allstars version under mario 2 but under different categories. Thanks!

Vyreck: Added.

Svenne: I'm assuming you're referring to SMB2U. It looks like 2 of the other games in all stars have opted to do the same, but I don't know the circumstances. Could you have a couple other people in the community post here for consensus?

I would like to request that for the Eversion leaderboard that ALAKTORN and I be added as mods since the current mods are inactive and there are necessary changes that need to be made to the leaderboard that they will not make. ALAKTORN is the current any% world record holder and his account can be found here http://www.speedrun.com/user/ALAKTORN

my account http://www.speedrun.com/user/Electra13x7777

Alak and I use a better and more accurate timing system than the other runners that should be implemented moving forward.

This is a "last resort" thread, did you contact the current moderators before posting here ?

Hello. I would like to acquire moderator position for Extreme-G 3 at http://www.speedrun.com/Extreme-G_3

I've talked to the only active series moderator, and it seems as though the 'series moderators don't have power here' button has been checked. I was added as a moderator for the series, but I can't edit the game. There is only one moderator there and they have been inactive on the whole site for 2 months. Could I get super mod status please?

I can backup Saos being active on twitter. I sent him a message about XG3 not too long ago and he answered within the day.

Oh damn. I actually did this with the other series mod, but he doesn't have a Twitter linked to his account. I messaged and got in contact with him and totally forgot about messaging the other mod. I ended up only looking at his speedrun.com profile where it says he was last online a couple of months ago and then forgot the rest. My bad guys :D
