New York, USAI've noticed if you view games in a series/on a specific console or whatever category, you can still sort runs by date added, # of runs, etc, but it will only show # of active players. You can still sort by games with most runs, but it won't show you how many runs each game has, just how many active players. Dumb update.
Year late, but I've played with the 3d pad and it blows. It was never officially made to work with the 3d pad, just with the wheel, so it controls awkwardly. You have to hold the stick up at all times when turning, otherwise you'll spin out with the slightest tap of the stick. You are much better off sticking with the d-pad. Also from what I hear the saturn wheel blows.
Hi all, I've been doing some housekeeping lately and wanted to make a real quick recap of what I've been doing to the board:
-Reorganized the No Restarts and Glitchless tabs into their own subcategories of any%
-Added some IL categories and variables for them (only useful for worlds with worms in them)
-Added new misc categories: Reverse% and Low% (details can be found in their respective "rules" section
-Changed the overall theme to Ocean - I think it looks neat! Will probably change it every now and then, but after a lot of messing around with it I think I'm gonna leave it as is for now.
As for what I'm working on now, I've been wanting to get an updated guide for this game up for a bit now due to the best we have currently being a 9 year old forum on a website most are unfamiliar with, but I'm starting to realize the whole youtube video format isn't working out for me, whether or not I'm doing it live or pre-recorded it doesn't feel right. Therefore, I think I'm gonna move my resources to a forum-like post/guide posted either here or formatted on steam and then forwarded here, as I think I can communicate best through text format.
I'm also planning to add some save files that can be downloaded and used in your games for either practice or to use in reverse% to avoid having to complete the game every attempt.
That's all for now, thanks for checking in!
So I found out that my d-pad was actually really stiff, making it hard to do a one frame slide off, so I switched to a ps3 controller with a less stiff d-pad, and now I can slide my thumb off the d-pad and do screen scrolls/ladder clips very easily. Thanks for the help!
In that case, how do you hold a direction on the D-pad for one frame? I have a lot of troubles doing it, and can't seem to get it. Maybe it's my controller?
So I have a very, VERY difficult time doing tricks like screen scrolling and ladder clips (since they're frame perfect). Keyboards have quicker travel times, so would we be allowed to use a keyboard for these tricks, and use a controller for the rest of the run, or would this be an unfair advantage and be banned? (No, this wouldn't be using extra key bindings, it would just be using the keypad for certain glitches and using the normal controller for the rest of the game)
Welcome to TFIJ speedrunning. This is a great but underrated game for speedrunning, and even with the lack of runners I hope someone stumbles by this post one day and hopes to try and speedrun this game with me. This game has great potential for speedrunning with its glitches like worm cloning, OoB, and its overall mechanic of jelly, which makes the game very fun and challenging to play and speedrun. If you want to know more, you can join this discord server and ask any questions about the game or read up on this SDA forum explaining everything you need to know about TFIJ speedrunning. Discord: https://discord.gg/tTvjqWj SDA forum: https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/the_floor_is_jelly.html Have fun speedrunning.
Is it possible I could have my name be "EggBagel"? My current name sucks
Ok. Thanks a lot for the reply! For now, I'll speedrun on the emulator, and when I feel like taking the game seriously, I'll invest in buying actual hardware for the game. Thanks a lot for the information!
Oh. Well if so, then why are there runs of people on an emulator? If they're banned, why do runs still use them?
I would like to run DKR but don't have an actual console.Next best thing is an emulator, right? But they're banned, why is that? Why are they banned?
This looks really helpful, thanks for linking me this!
After observing a lot of runs, I see that what most runners do is use bombs to kill off a horde of darknuts. I am having a very difficult time trying to kill these darknuts with the bombs, does anyone know a good strat for killing off darknuts? Thanks in advance!
Ok, thank you for the response!
Hi! So I was thinking of running Zelda, and was wondering if we use an emulator, could we use an SNES controller for speedrunning the game, and if we could use different controllers for the emulator period. Thanks!
