"Complete the game with all side missions, taking all photos and buying all upgrades. Timing starts when selecting the last initial in the file select screen. Timing ends when when screen fades out on the Doc Ock fight." ^Something like that.
I don't see a reason not to include upgrades as part of the required tasks for 100%. You know this game far better than me, but that's still my opinion.
The GBA version has its own page now https://www.speedrun.com/sm2002gba
Games that tend to crash, especially if it's on console, which is considered more stable than pc.
Done. Hope it's fine by all players.
...Trying to figure out how to set this on the leaderboards, apologies to all
Hello all. The leaderboards as they're now are somewhat... disjointed. Having a subcategory for each character in the game makes the leaderboards look rather ugly.
I'm making a pilot to split them into subcategories:
- "Hero Characters" will be dedicated for the 10 regular fighters, from Davis to Deep.
- "Special Characters" will be dedicated for all variations of characters from the cheat code (lf2.net), from Bat to Julian. This will include Rudolf-With Transformation and Louis-Transformation (Note that you can't transform into LouisEX with the cheat active).
- I'm also thinking about adding 2 more subcategories: "Soldiers" for all the... soldiers from the cheat code, from Knight to Sorcerer; and "Tamplate/Bandit/Hunter", for the aforementioned characters. These will be included once someone wishes to run these categories.
Times for different characters won't obsolete each other. The leaderboards will showcase your PB for every individual character.
I'd like to see your feedback on the subject.
As title says. That's a completely different game, therefore it should have its own leaderboard. Not sure why I'm not just doing it instead of posting this thread. Guess I'm waiting for feedback from you guys.
In a similar note, instead of giving Xbox a whole tab, making it a subcategory would be enough. Look at how the leaderboards for Sonic R seperate ALL ports: https://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_R You could either makes 2 subcategories (one for GCN/PS2/PC and one for Xbox) or - due the minor difference between all the ports (such as loads and different enemy spawns) - make a subcategory for each port also makes sense. And why do this you ask? Because of different categories, Any%, Green Goblin and 100% are all different between Xbox and other ports, for obvious reasons.
Bottom line, the leaderboards as they are now are just a mess.
Hello all, As of today (3/20/2018) we have split the leaderboards of each version, as they are different games entirely and deserve their own leaderboards. Here are links for each version:
PC/Xbox360/PS3: https://www.speedrun.com/Spider-Man_3 PS2/PSP/Wii: https://www.speedrun.com/sm3_ps2pspwii
Other versions that are yet to be included are GBA and DS. They will be added once someone wishes to run them.
If anyone wishes to submit a run for a version that's is not listed yet, post in this forum and we'll add it. (Now that I checked, I realized that DS is the only version not listed. We'll add it once there's a player willing to play that version)
As for LT and RT, they count as "Z Axis", LT is -3 and RT is +3 or vise versa. While pressed together, they count as 0 again (it's done to allow sensitivity). Becuase of that, older games will either not recognize them at all or when they do, they will cancel each other when pressed together. That's just a stupid design from MS and will never be fixed due to them not caring about legacy support. As for not recognizing the sticks and DPAD, that's wierd. Have you tested other controllers with the game or tested this controller with other games?
Asking for site mod's advice on how to deal with the situation.
Spider-Man is notorious for having many games for many consoles that share the same title, but are completely different from each other. Just to name a few, Web Of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions and all of the movie tie-ins.
However, having a seperate leaderboard for each version is also problematic, as a single game could easily cover half a page in the series page, just for no one to even run it. My idea is to have one leaderboard for the main game and another for all the other versions, seperating them with tabs for each version.
The reason I sugget to seperate the main game only, is because it always tends to have more categories. Take a look for example at the Spider-Man 2 leaderboard ( https://www.speedrun.com/spider-man_2 ). It has many tab for more categories for the main version, but it also has tabs for the other versions.
Examples for games that seperate version are Sonic Generation and Sonic Colors. Sure they had to deal with only 2 versions, but they still did the right thing. Games that only seperate from each other with tabs are usually the same at their core. This is clearly not the same situation.
You're more than welcome to check my profile. The games I run don't have many players. Games I don't run but still recommend are: https://www.speedrun.com/nseries https://www.speedrun.com/fpa Linked the series pages to let you choose yourself which game you'd like to run. Mostly recommending the free web games.
Spider-Man is notorious for having many games for many consoles that share the same title, but are completely different from each other. Just to name a few, Web Of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions and all of the movie tie-ins. Should'nt we create a seperate page for each version of the game instead of a seperate tab? Since that might be too much (a single game could easily cover half a page in the series page, just for no one to even run it), can we maybe have one page for the main version and another page for "other versions"? I'm asking for this because the main games tend to have more categories, something that makes a mess when another version is a category by itself. Just look at Spider-Man 2, there are many categories for the main game and then there are tabs for a different version, it's just a mess.
An example for a game with seperate pages for the same game is Sonic Heroes. Since it has other glitches and tricks than the other ports, the PC version has a page of its own. https://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_Heroes https://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_Heroes_PC For more practical examples, Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations seperated the main games from their DS counterparts. https://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_Colors_Wii https://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_Colors_DS https://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_Generations https://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_Generations_3DS
And while I'm at it, why arn't the TASM games listed in this series?
There's this one, but it's mainly for memes. Some clips from the cancells TAS if it helps.
I'll create a GBA category if you wish to submit a run. Send it to Any% for now and I'll edit that accordingly.
If you do it consistently then go for it. If you don't do it consistently then still go for it.
I think the original Super Mario should fit to your needs. Movement is dead simple and it has some cool exploits like clipping through a wall and skipping the flag animation at the end of each level.
That server is closed, check this one instead: https://discord.gg/XDKvnpa
I'm asking since some games I play force me to play with each system.
One game has the camera set to inverted whenever I reset/start a new save file. I can pause the game to fix that, but it costs too much time. The other game simply has only normal camera. The games in between are affected by each system as I need to re-adjust my reflexes every time.
I can practice a bit before I run each game again, but I wonder if some of you have the same issue and found a way to adjust to each system right from the get go.
Consider running Flash games. One of my favorites is the Fancy Pants Adventure series http://www.speedrun.com/fpa World 1 was OK, but worlds 2 and 3 are really good even for playing casually.
