Request: Additional columns on the Warpless leaderboard
1 year ago
United States

This request is similar to one I've made here two years ago, but since moderators have changed since then I feel it's time to bring this up for discussion again.

On SRC you can specify custom columns (variables) on the leaderboard in order to keep track of various things for statistical purposes (the All Forts category currently uses one for whether the player used the Wrong Warp there). I feel the following columns would be great to have in Warpless specifically due to how much of a factor RNG has on the category:

Early Hammer (Was the W2 hammer acquired before 2-3/2-quicksand? Could be a simple No or Yes, or more specific, such as 1 death, post 2-3, etc.)

Hands (How many times was the player grabbed on the World 8 hand bridge?)

Obviously the main issue would be having to go through all the runs and fill in this information. I know Teex has a spreadsheet he is maintaining with this info (and more) for the top times, but I would be more than willing to assist with filling in the gaps if needed, maybe starting with top 50/top 100 for now. I feel these columns would be just enough to paint a better Warpless picture directly on the leaderboard though without it being too cluttered.

Here is TEEX's spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j5MTbh14h6Rx1zXJpIop5negFPi6OvLts0KFJGJlh9k/edit#gid=677991048 EH+hands sounds useful. Several runners redundantly keep track of it themselves anyways. :D

Hi Macobra, feel free to use the information on that spreadsheet if you'd like to expand on it beyond Top 20. I'm more than happy to collab with you on filling in those gaps as well. Feel free to reach out and I can grant you editing permissions.

Because I'm not a Supermod, I can't add additional columns. But I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Early Hammer and Hand data get added.

I understand that there's a lot more information in my spreadsheet like bro RNG and routing that can easily influence a Warpless run, but I don't really expect anything to be done with that info except satisfy my personal curiosity.

If we comb through these runs, however, I wouldn't be surprised if several runs that were manually added (and verified) by the Supermods at the time are now gone because the author deleted them from Youtube/Twitch, or they are sourced from odd websites, so they will inevitably have missing data.

I like stats so I'd be in favour of adding columns for EH and/or hands. We can slowly go through all the non-obsolete runs, but make it a priority to only focus on top 50 at the start and make our way through the rest when we feel like it. So far it seems we have 3 mods on board for this and I don't think the community would be against it.

Having a columns for SMB3 hands EH would be nice when you think about it

I agree, I think it should be added. It would be interesting to see imo

Alright Teex's spreadsheet has been updated to show EH and Hands for the top 50 times. Feel that's a good start.

Grandpoobear's 52:46 was the only run that I couldn't review due to the VOD being missing. On his Youtube though I found a 52:44 PB from 2018 with one hand (no EH).
