i sent a world record speedrun in difficulty 8 and without dying and they say that invincibility is used, they don't even read the description, it says the player's name is chinese, the platform used is gotvg is like fightcade but chinese. there you can't use hacks, save states or tas any because it is an online emulator that saves the replay.

be consistent.

i think your run would have been rejected no matter what, cause u did not read the rules:

"IMPORTANT: At the end of each successful run. The difficulty MUST be shown by pressing F2 and selecting "Game Options." Any run that doesn't show this in the video WILL NOT BE VERIFIED."

te rechazaron por no cumplir las reglas no por invencibilidad u otra cosa, mejor dicho por no mostrar la dificultad como dijo el Farnham. Fishinge

Las reglas fueron muchos años antes de esa run a si que no cuenta el wr. Fishinge https://www.speedrun.com/es-ES/sunset_riders_arcade/forums/aqz9d
