Arcade-esque Runs

Hey everyone,

I wanted to bring a thought to the community on runs that are performed on PS2 but use some sort of foot pedal system to emulate an Arcade run.

IMO, these should be counted under Arcade runs for the sake of fairness, as the buttons on the gun are inevitably faster than using a foot pedal. However, we may need to solidify more rules surrounding distance from the tv, etc. to properly emulate the arcade machines. Further still, the games differ graphically from Arcade to console, do they run the same speed, etc?

Or do we just create another type of run in general?

The main run in question is z0d420's as he used a foot pedal. I am hoping to have some sort of foot pedal set-up in the future so I think we should start the discussion now in case more runs roll in.

As the community grows, hopefully, we can agree on something!

After some more thought and exploring other games, I think we'll just do a sub-category under console runs for now that includes some sort of foot pedal system.

Feel free to add your thoughts if you think this should change.

It is definitely slower using the pedal over the button on the controller, a new category for ps2 with pedal would be nice.

Alright, I've added the subcategories to the main page! If other pedal runs get submitted to a different category, I'll add the subs at that time.
