it makes perfect sense, actually. do you really think mods want to go into every run and go in and frame count for every frame youre in a loading screen or in a menu? yeah that shit is hard and especially with how much youre in menus and in loading screens. and that goes triple for a game of this size. i personally wouldnt want to do that and im pretty sure you wouldnt want to do that if you were a mod or if you did it for your own runs. its a big hastle and in my opinion, a waste of time. real time right now is fine its just paying attention and knowing how to do a menu every so often.

an alternative would be if you or someone coded a automatic IGT or load remover for livesplit which would make everything a lot easier on everyone but not too many people know how to do that and if someone did know how to do it, they probably wouldnt but who knows.

tl;dr - RTA is fine for the run and the timing makes sense. you can just make a new profile.

close enough

No one decided to make one of these yet so I did it.

its just i would like anything with the title of "wr" to at least have a video, no matter if its something as meme as this

im pretty sure xbox just has faster loads by a bunch but dolphin is the best emulator for this because last i tried to play on the ps2 one, the game would crash on the 3 stage or so. but if you decide to run on dolphin, just make sure you mark your runs as emu

i think it has to do with memory stuff from in games which makes auto igt or loadless easy with pc games but i dont think it would be easy with console games but i think its possible. just a bit of coding and other black magic i dont know how to do ¯_(ツ)_/¯

i think you should be able to do it how you want to with subcategories or something that state if youre doing NG or NG+ personally

even if you do use emu, youre at an extreme disadvantage. and if the xbox emu works with dx id still assume the answer would be no because it probably isnt very accurate, same with the ps2 emu.

tl;dr - probably not allowed but its emu runs are there because no one who runs on it is trying to get wr or even a top time

yeah, i already do runs of this and its pretty fun. id also be for having it as a misc category on the boards

just do a restrictive 80 start run. its pretty much the game without a couple of tricks lol

can my name be changed to nes (all lowercase) please? thanks!

sorry i was debating if they should be verified because its not its own highlight but theyre all verified now

That's like saying using the golden tanooki in SM3DL or NSMB2 makes it less of a run. It applies the same here. Take Okami for instance, NG+ is a lot better of a run than Any% New Game because it progresses a lot better and you can skip cutscenes. Plus, Any% New Game is just really boring because you don't have any of the items and in terms of cutscenes, you can skip the first few that occur before gameplay. It is 6 and 1/4th % of the run, which is a lot since you're just a wolf running around collecting things. Adding onto that, it makes it a pain in the ass to reset runs since the cutscenes equal to 15 minutes. This applies to this as well. Just because Okami isn't FFXV, that doesn't mean that the same thing applies. There probably some parts in the run that go way faster or are skipped completely in NG+, making the run more enjoyable than Any%. And for your last part, I wouldn't say grief, because he is right. It is unarbitrary and its perfectly valid, even as a misc. category. And it isn't grief to everyone else because there was more insight as to the other side of the argument here.

you should make Any% and 100% subcategories for classic titles (100% for sk Kappa)

honestly, i prefer to run no blocks but stages like 1-2 would become really hard and it would be more beginner friendly with blocks

i would say boost blocks are fine but thats probably not everyone

Ah i see, well im gonna do rins of it even if its not on the board and ill get a not shit any% time too

im dumb i was thinking about the secret exits but what i mean with warpless is just going through the game and not skipping mandatory worlds and stuff so like you can go 1, 2, 3/4, 5, 6, 7, 8 doing those castles but any exits that dont skip the castles

Really, the only categories I'd run for this game would be Any%, NSE, and a warpless like category like NSMB2 Warpless (aka no major skips or something) but i'd like to see NSE up there since its a cool category

if people actually take it seriously ill add it
