nice tutorial, with reference points and everything i noticed there wasn't a fixed banshee near asuka, is that normal ? I'm wondering if getting a banshee there is worth it, my guess is yes because you should have a few seconds to spare as long as you don't crash like you did on that video
this has been possible for months just go to http://www.speedrun.com/settings and set Time reference to Absolute
groups were drawn around 7PM CEST on friday groups + race result + standings https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QKxGDq4gh4i_KZoUzBCubk2ghu5CaMM11BIlty6NKnU/edit#gid=1023320193
people can do whatever strat they want as long as it's any%
But bear in mind that 1st place in each groups will be decided by average race time if 2 people or more are tied in 1st place with the same numbers of point ( example: both runners have 3 wins and 1 loss)
Also after the group stage there will be a big race for the last qualifying spot into the next stage. Every 2nd place and tied 2nd place will automatically qualify for that race but Top5 average time from all 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th place (and 6th maybe not sure yet) will also qualify for that race
The final bracket for Top8 will also be seeded with their average rage time during group stage so the "best" runners only race each other in the finals
So feel free to do whatever strat you want or agree on strats to use before the race but keep that in mind that your average race time might matter
PS: m00n, i was going to PM you on twitch to ask you to confirm your entrance in the tournament but I guess you are confirmed now
PS2: I'm contacting people to confirm their entrance, so if i haven't contacted you yet (on irc, twitter, twitch) feel free to contact me, I'll also need people skype names as i plan to make group confs for each groups so people schedule their races their
why would you mod your game instead of installing v1.01 which CRASH LESS anyway
MuXu96: Join already, you have until tomorrow !
3AM definition isn't about "all missions that change the savefile name" it's "complete all missions according to the stats. (73/73) " 3 main.scm specifies that there are 73 missions and it shows up in the stats
VC main.scm specifies that there are 88 missions, "all missions" only does 6X missions
VC AM can put to misc because the definitions is quite arbitrary III AM should stay as it is this the definition make sense
a legit in-between category for VC should be "Any% no asset duplication" or 7 assets or whatever people want to call it
Edit: or put NG+ Ingame 100% in main, everyone should run it ffzyesDuping
current any% is legit another category could be all missions (with or without the saveglitch)
[quote]Runners will schedule their races freely with their opponents and all group stage races must be completed by September 18th, this way every entrants have 4 weeks to do their races. To avoid people delaying their races forever and ending up not being able to schedule all of them, at least 2 race must be completed by the end of Week 3 (Friday September 11th).[/quote]
Muxu, the tournament is still a thing, and i expect you to join ! signups end on the 16th and we will draw the groups on the 21th (and maybe stream it on GTAMarathon) then the tournament will start
there might a big VC any% race this weekend (or any day before the groups drawing) for all the noobs (and non-noobs) joining the tournament so he can get a pb before the groups drawing (to get more accurate seed) and obviously raise hype for the tournament, but it's not actually part of the tournament and it's not really organised yet (if this race doesn't happen before the drawing, it can still happen on the opening weekend of the tournament, also people are encouraged to do practice race on the side whenever they want)
Jolzi, mhmd made a new tutorial
So you can watch that, and do a few no-resets
you mean this http://bombch.us/BOc2 ?
there's also a google sheet but I'm too lazy to make it public
m00nchile: It doesn't really matter when it starts because you'll have to schedule your race freely with you opponents within 4 weeks (since I'm planning to have groups of 5 aka 4 races during the group stage, and 1 race/week on average) This may not be really explicit in the preliminary rules I've written so far, I plan to add some kind of FAQ part there.
here's what's written in the rules [quote]"All group stage race must be completed by September 18th (or 25th), this way every entrants have 4 weeks to do their races. To avoid people delaying their races forever and ending up not being able to schedule all of them, at least 2 race must be completed by the end of Week 3 (Friday September 11th or 18th)."[/quote]

if you're not using dupes you can make the bribe replay on the first mission in the alleyway on your way to the safehouse. the replay won't dissapear unless you overwrite it by pressing F2 also if you pick up the bribe normally you'll have to wait 6 minutes until it respawn. (bribe picked up through a replay don't despawn)

if you don't do dodo bait i believe it's faster no to take a dodo for E2G and do staunton - portland - shoreside
for the rest i don't really know
anyone knows how to block twitch/youtube ads on a run page but not the legit sr.com ads ?
I have received enough positive feedback here, on irc and on different chats to decide this tournament will happen ! It probably start in a month, on friday august 21st or 28th Rules will be decided based on the number of entrants, but there will most likely be a group stage of 4 races, 1 race a week for 4 weeks, then a double elimination stage afterward Entrants will be free to schedule their race with each other, with deadline to complete races. at least 2 races by the end of week 3 and all 4 races by the end of week 4.

PS: I'm also looking for people to help me organize this, so I can tell them my stupid ideas and they can convince me they are bad and tell me how the tournament should be done And also someone that can restream the Finals
Bosz: Like I said to you on IRC, I don't think there is anything unfair about the japanese version, the converter is widely available in the resource section, the RNG at the start is greatly reduced if the runner decide to go for the RNG-free Molotov rampage start instead of looking for a cop car (cost 20s but is the sane choice on a race) International version is (I feel) not more competitive than the japanese version, every sub1 runners except 3 (fil, ricecooker and Dennisk0) have switch to JP, and nobody really did international runs since JP is possible except NyashMan who got a 1:19 on july12th and Dennisk0 who got his 59:36 in late may then quit VC The Japanese strats aren't that different from the international version. the route was 95% the same when we still used the "wait 2 minutes to make a replay" strat. You only made a replay at a different point and started PW2 again at the end of the mission by NOT doing a fancy jump Newer japanese strats consisting of doing the CP glitch 5 times are a bit more complex to execute but really easy to understand. (understand what to do, not understanding how it works because nobody knows how it works)
Also people who used to run the international version will still have to learn new strats such as the shakedown mall warp to get 5 stars on copland. And someone new to VC wouldn't want to learn an obsolete route for a tournament. This is why i think any legit version should be allowed to compete in the tournament (japanese PC is encouraged by being the fastest, but people can use the steam version, international retail, german retail, german green pepper, australian version, any PS2 version, Xbox version, or even the mobile phone version). I'm not enforcing anything and if there is a community consensus to run only on the steam version of the game, then so be it.
Mhmd, converting to JP take less than a minute with zoton's tool. If someone agree to enter a month long tournament but is too lazy to take a minute to get the fastest version, chances are he will most likely give up mid tournament or something and kinda ruin the group stage Choosing not to run on JP because of personal preference is something else and is ok.
S.: I have a screenshot of melis agreeing to enter the tournament, if she doesn't I'll give her hell until she comes to #ESA16 Joshimuz always joined big races when he could, so i hope he will join and maybe set new VC any% standards for the bottom of the leaderboard since nowadays his 2:51 looks even worse Oasiz and PW aren't really active nowadays so they might not join, but I hope you'll still join regardless Here's a partial list of active people i hope will derust their VC and enter: PeteThePlayer, BubbleBobbler, Lighnat0r, Jolzi, , tyriounet, JustShanz, schA_de and many III and SA runners
guywith: let's make the tournament NG+ Any% Kappa seriously i saw you ask in irc when will GTA3 tournament happen, if this one happen and is succesful III any% will most likely happen. but no "dupes vs no dupes" (some may say ffzyesDuping vs ffznoDuping ) thingy since it's stupid, it's any% people can dupe or not as they choose.
The tournament will start on Friday August 21st 2015 with a group stage.

hey everyone, As you may already know, the Vice City any% scene is kinda dead. The required cop car spawn at the start of the japanese version and the fact that the run has become so optimised that it became painful to grind, have caused most runners to quit once they reach a time they were aiming for and only a couple of runners are left running the game and they most likely will quit as soon as they get a slightly better PB.
A side effect of that is the game is barely ever raced nowadays, compared to like a year ago before all the replay strats have discovered ( ffzyesDuping ) where the game was raced almost daily if not more.
Most of you probably ignored this, but I like RPG speedruns and is most of the time learning one until i give up because i'm lazy. Since the beginning of July I'm participating in a 65 player Final Fantasy 4 Paladin% (~1h long race category) speedrunning tournament (Some of them are FF4 runners, some are other RPG runners and a lot of them haven't really speedran a RPG before) The tournament is composed of the group stage (13 groups of 5 runners, groups are seeded to have runners of all skip level, every runners run against each other 1vs1 so 4 races in total, one race every week), the 13 winners of each groups progress to the next stage which is 16 runner Double Elimination bracket. the 2nd place of each groups will race in a single race for the remaining 3 spots. This race as well as Winner Finals, Loser Finals, and Grand Finals are restreamed on the community channel. Since early July there have been more than one hundred FF4 races (both tournament and "practice" races) compared to basically no race ever before the tournament.
I'd like to apply this concept to Vice City Any% (and maybe modify rules a bit to fit the number of entrants), I feel VC any% is easy enough for beginners to learn quickly and short enough so that people have enough time to schedule a 1h race once a week
My hopes are that all kind of runners will enter such a tournament (currently active runners, runners that gave up on VC for reasons, runners of other GTA games or even complete beginners) If people seems interested I'll try to organise it with other people help, so don't hesitate to post your opinions/ideas and say if you're interested in entering such event.
