* [EN] Leaderboard Guidelines for Submissions

Please carefully read and follow the following guidelines for submitting runs to this leaderboard.

# Guidelines

1. The use of visual modifications during gameplay from the Steam Workshop or otherwise is prohibited, regardless of whether or not they offer gameplay advantages. Visual modifications not during gameplay are allowed, such as changing the title screen image. The use of built-in visual modifications however, such as the "-simplehud" launch option, Lilith's Gift, or the special costume codes, are allowed.

2. The game audio must be audible for submissions. Muting the game audio or playing music over the game audio in such a way that the game audio is inaudible is prohibited. The use of audio modifications are allowed so long as they do not offer any gameplay advantages as per the discretion of the moderators.

3. The use of macros or similar devices for advantageous purposes is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, turbo or rapid-fire, simultaneous button presses, and so on. All actions in the keybind menu must be bound to its own key. Switching between 2 controlling methods, such as keyboard and gamepad, is allowed, but using both simultaneously is not.

4. Launch options that affect gameplay, such as, but not limited to, -afd, -sayablessing, -bettercontrol, -netplay, and so on, are prohibited.

5. Modifying or deleting game data or files before or during a run (e.g. deleting save files during a run) is prohibited. Note: Deleting saves before starting a run is allowed.

6. Accessing Custom Maps, or its menu, before or during runs, such that it affects the run, is prohibited (Custom Map glitches).

7. The use of external programs to view internal data, such as to view coordinates or boss HP, is prohibited.

# Addendum

Failure to comply to these guidelines will result in the rejection of your submission. Please understand that these guidelines are to facilitate proper quality control and are by no means a way of invalidating your hard work in practicing and performing runs of this game.

* [EN] Setting up the Auto Splitter (ASL) /  Obtaining "Load Removed Time"

# Introduction

Currently the leaderboard takes submissions using 2 different timing methods. **Only the Real Time or "Load Removed Time" is required.** The other timing method is recommended but is not required. If you are familiar with Rabi-Ribi, the following timing methods, in the order listed on this website, are as follows:

1. Time without loads = T. Runtime
2. Time with loads = Real Time

While the Real Time and T. Playtime are easy to obtain, the **T. Runtime is only obtainable via the Auto Splitter.** If you are not using the ASL Auto Splitter, do not submit runs with "time without loads", and do not submit runs with millisecond accuracy unless you have verified it with a mod on Discord.

# Setting up the Auto Splitter (ASL)

Visual Guide from TEVI: https://github.com/AzureHakua/TEVI-AutoSplitter

1. In order to use the Auto Splitter, you need to be using LiveSplit as your timing program of choice. After opening LiveSplit, right click and select "edit splits" to open the Split Editor window.

2. Type and **select** Rabi-Ribi as your game in the game name field. If done correctly, the Auto Splitter will show up just above the splits and you'll be able to select "Activate."

3. After it has activated, you can select "Settings" to change various settings such as when to split. By default, the Auto Splitter is ready for 10TM. Make sure you have "Use T. Runtime" checked as that will be used to obtain the "Time without loads." Make sure you also make splits for everything that you set up in the settings.

4. After completing a run, you can obtain your "time without loads" (T. Runtime) by opening your splits and navigating to the "Game Time" tab. It will be the time in the final split. In order to verify this time, you must either submit your splits to http://splits.io or have T. Runtime displayed on your splits. 

# Displaying T. Runtime on LiveSplit (Optional, but strongly recommended)

While you can always submit your splits to Splits.io, displaying your T. Runtime will expedite the verification process, so it is highly recommended you perform these next steps.

1. Download the Livesplit.AlternativeTimingMethod from https://github.com/Dalet/LiveSplit.AlternateTimingMethod/releases

2. Extract and move the .dll file to /LiveSplit/Components

3. Right click LiveSplit and select "edit layout." From here, add "Alternate Timing Method"' to your layout.

4. In the layout settings, you can rename the game time if you wish to display certain text such as "T. Runtime."

# Runtime and Playtime Explained

Runtime and Playtime are both internal timers within Rabi-Ribi that is actually just a frame count converted into time via 60 frames per second. As such, even with lag, slow downs, or speed ups, these two timers will always be an accurate measure of "how many frames of the game have passed." Runtime is further more useful than Playtime because Playtime's frame count pauses during pausing, cutscenes, text, shopping, and menuing.

* [日本語] AutoSplitter (ASL) のセットアップ / 「Load Removed Time」

# 概要

現在、このランキングでは 3 種類の時間計測方式を使用しています。
**実時間もしくは「Load Removed Time」の一方のみが必須です。**
残りの 2 つの計測方式も入力することを推奨しますが、必須ではありません。
Rabi-Ribi に慣れ親しんだ人に対して説明すれば、3 種類の時間計測形式とは、このサイトで表示される順に以下の通りです。

1. Time without loads ＝ T. Runtime
2. Time with loads ＝ 実時間
3. In-game time ＝ T. Playtime

実時間と T. Playtime は取得しやすいですが、T. Runtime は AutoSplitter を介してでしか取得できません。

# AutoSplitter (ASL) のセットアップ

Visual Guide from TEVI: https://github.com/AzureHakua/TEVI-AutoSplitter

1. 

AutoSplitter を使うためには、タイマープログラムとして LiveSplit を使っている必要があります。
LiveSplit を起動した後で、右クリック後に「Edit Splits」を選択して、Split Editor ウィンドウを開いてください。

2. 

Game Name 欄に「Rabi-Ribi」と入力した後にそれを*選択*ください。
正しくできていれば、スプリット欄の真上に AutoSplitter が表示され、「Activate」を選択できるようになるはずです。

3. 

AutoSplitter を起動後に「Settings」を選択することで、スプリットのタイミングなどの様々な設定を変更することができるようになります。
デフォルトでは、AutoSplitter は 10TM 向けに設定されています。
ここで、「Use T. Runtime」がチェックされているのを確認してください。これは「Time without loads」を取得するのに使います。
また、設定した内容に沿ってスプリットの項目が作られているか確認してください。

4. 

RTA 完走後、スプリット画面を開いて「Game Time」タブに移動することで「Time without loads」を見ることができます。
最後のスプリットにおけるタイムが該当のタイムになります。
このタイムが正しいことを確認するため、スプリットを http://splits.io に投稿するか、スプリット画面に T. Runtime を表示させなければなりません。

# T. Runtime を LiveSplit に表示する方法 (任意, 強く推奨)

Splits.io にはいつでもスプリットを投稿することができますが、T. Runtime を表示しておくことで検証プロセスを早く進めることができるので、以降の手順を行うことを強く推奨します。

1. 

https://github.com/Dalet/LiveSplit.AlternateTimingMethod/releases から Livesplit.AlternativeTimingMethod をダウンロードしてください。

2. 

ファイルを解凍し、中身の .dll ファイルを /LiveSplit/Components に移動させてください。

3. 

LiveSplit を右クリックし、「Edit Layout」を選択してください。
この画面で、レイアウト一覧に「Alternate Timing Method」を追加してください。

4. 

「T. Runtime」のように特定のテキストを表示したい場合は、レイアウト設定画面で変更できます。

# Runtime と Playtime の解説

Runtime と Playtime はどちらも Rabi-Ribi 内部で使われるタイマーで、毎秒 60 フレームであるとしてフレーム数を単純に時間に変換したものです。
したがって、ラグ, 減速, 加速などがあっても、これらの 2 つのタイマーは常に「ゲーム中でどのくらいのフレーム数が経過したか」を正確に測定します。
Playtime のフレームカウントはポーズ, カットシーン, テキスト, 買い物, メニューで停止してしまうので、Runtime の方が Playtime よりも役に立ちます。

Basic Combat Tips

[section=Notes]
Mainly for use in 10TM Casual because of limited SP, limited attack options, and boss action speed. That being said, some of these points are general and can apply to any category and difficulty.
 
 
[section=Regarding Damage Fall Off]
Repetitive use of Up Drill, Down Drill, or Air Dash results in decreased damage. This damage fall off will occur regardless of if you hit an enemy or not. As such, even using Air Dash for movement will decrease its damage. Amulets DO NOT reset fall off damage. Cutscenes also DO NOT reset fall off damage. Reloading the game WILL reset any damage fall off. Because every boss has an auto-save right before starting the fight, it is a good habit to reload the game before every boss fight after obtaining Air Dash. Reloading to reset damage fall off can more than DOUBLE the amount of damage it would've inflicted if you hadn't reloaded.
 
 
[section=Regarding Shielding]
After finishing certain strings of attacks, a boss will be in a flashing yellow state. This is known as having Shielding. The duration of Shielding varies depending on which attacks induced it. Attempting to attack a boss during this state will generally result in no damage and no hitstun. That being said, the Up Drill and Down Drill hits through Shielding and inflicts both damage and hitstun. Despite this ability to hit through Shielding, remember that drills are prone to damage fall off. As such, this can lead to drills dealing 0 damage but still inducing hitstun (which of course is very slow). When a boss is attacking, they are more prone to gain Shielding, but the Shielding also lasts for a shorter period of time. As such, when a boss has Shielding or is performing an attack, it is recommended to revert to repeated 3-hit combos as opposed to Penta combos.
 
 
[section=Regarding Quick Reflexes]
After inflicting a certain amount of damage to a boss, they will gain a buff called Quick Reflexes. While having Quick Reflexes, bosses can escape combos and generally cannot be hitstunned. Using Amulet will remove Quick Reflexes, which can be useful to extend combos and defeat bosses before they can perform attacks.
 
 
[section=Regarding Stamina]
Stamina Points (SP) is the limiting metric in which actions can be performed by Erina. The amount of SP consumed varies depending on the action. Jumping of any kind does not consume any SP. While SP slowly refills over time, emptying the SP meter will cause SP to refill twice as fast as it normally does. As a result, during boss fights, it is almost always optimal to empty the SP meter when performing a string of attacks in order to force the meter to refill quickly, which allows for more attacks.
 
 
[section=Optimizing Combos]
A Penta Combo (the grounded 4-hit combo into a grounded spinning drill) drains almost all of your SP meter (but leaves a little left). There are a few options to empty your SP meter after the Penta Combo. Here are the important ones:

     1. Up Drill
     2. Nothing (drain SP by performing an attack that does not hit the boss)
     3. Air Dash
     4. Wait (to restore SP)

For most new runners who haven't learned boss fights, they typically will perform an Up Drill after the Penta Combo (Penta). In most scenarios, performing an Up Drill is the least optimal option (Note: This strictly applies to Casual). Often times when you perform Penta -> Up Drill, the boss will end up with additional amounts of Shielding, which will prevent you from following up with additional attacks. However, if you perform Penta -> Nothing (you can Up Drill away from the boss or use a Walking Hammer away from the boss to drain SP), the boss will not have additional Shielding, which will allow you to combo the boss again. Similarly, once you obtain Air Dash (AD), you can perform Penta -> AD. Air Dash also does not have additional Shielding, which will again allow you to combo the boss again. To summarize, these are the general results you can obtain when fighting bosses:
 
     1. Penta -> Up Drill
     2. Penta -> Nothing -> Penta -> Nothing/Up Drill
     3. Penta -> AD -> Penta -> AD/Up Drill
     4. Penta -> Wait -> Down Drill -> Up Drill
     (Note: Using Ribbon's Charged Shots in between sets of combos increases hitstun on bosses allowing for followup.)
 
As you can see, Up Drill is essentially a combo string closer. In the second and third scenarios, you could theoretically continue these strings even more if it weren't for Quick Reflexes activating (boss depending of course). At this point, you have a few options. You could use Amulet to remove Quick Reflexes and extend your combo, or you could end your combo with an Up Drill. In the fourth scenario, you can wait to restore your SP after the Penta then perform Down Drill -> Up Drill as opposed the the standard fair of Penta -> Up Drill. As such, it is almost always suboptimal to immediately perform an Up Drill right after a Penta combo. Of course, Penta -> Up Drill does have a unique property: it is a "True Combo". Unlike the other combos, Penta -> Up Drill will lock the boss and almost always guarantee the combo without issues. Ending the combo with the alternatives methods above may give bosses enough time to escape. For some bosses with high priority, such as Rita or Kotri, they can escape and perform their Cut-In attack. Once you have no real options remaining, and a boss has gained extended amounts of Shielding, it is best to start performing Down Drills and Up Drills, which can attack through Shielding.
 
Regarding using Amulet to extend a combo through Quick Reflexes, using Amulet will set your SP to a fixed amount. This amount of SP generally only allows you to perform a 3-Hit combo at most. As such, after immediately using an Amulet, you can use Boost, which will increase the speed that your SP refills, which will ultimately allow you enough SP to perform a full combo. The act of performing a Boost immediately after Amulet is commonly called "AmuBoost".
