I think that speedrun.com should just have more boards for segmented and TAS runs in general, although i don't necessarily agree with them being in the main board, but still tracking them seems like a good idea if people want to do it, so my vote's for: sure why not

Maybe as a drop down? I'm down for it.

Seg for NG+ is dumb really, but would be interesting for NG

Seg runs haven't been forbidden all the time, so it's just showing it. I won't do any seg run on this game, I don't see the point of doing it because we have ILs to combine. But if some want to do them I don't see any problem. Be careful to separate clearly SS and seg runs tho, because if someone gets a faster than SS WR time, he can't just say "Hey I'm WR holder", at least by comparing to SS.

The thing is that retrying at a checkpoint implies that the loading time following that reset will be faster.

Does that mean you'd like Segmented runs to be IGT? Because RTA might be a bit fucked.

I know, but I talk about a full segmented run, that contains menus, etc... SS runs are RTA, that's why I asked you that.

Yeah. Igt as timer, as many resets as you want, just try to get the fastest time possible.

nappe's IL seg times are extremely optimised for NG+. They can only be beaten by somebody on the pc version. The co-op runs done by mat are also very well optimised and there are only a couple of time saves maybe.

You can also savescum on every version of the game, which makes seg ng possiblke. Although it would be a lot easier on the PC version.

@Trance, Yeah, Nappe has some good times, but not them all. And if you mean Mat-Trix, I already beat his times.

I think IL's should be Seg only but i'll settle for having both.

My vote is a huge YES.

Anyone who thinks segmented runs are "too easy to get a good time" "stupid" or "pointless" has simply never tried it enough to benefit from them. There is no reason for it not to be on the boards, it's an entirely different entity from SS therefore it changes literally nothing except people will finally be able to upload seg runs.

As I said, as long as some want to do it, it's ok for me.

BUT, I just watched your chapter snow, and I think that it's bad to see those editings at the points you made them. I'd rather see a segmented chapter that looks exactly like a SS chapter. When you open a door, and boom we see the inventory menu, it looks ugly. You could've cutted the inventory menu, so that when you open the door, there's just a normal loading and after it you continue your progress.

That's my thought, because I don't wanna see unsmooth replays of the best times.

I see your point, but it would show that the chapter is segmented to show the inventory. This is an old chapter I found as an example. But I guess editing out the inven wouldn't be a problem.
