PolandBoth 1st and 2nd place of the 300K Points category have incorrect "Level Start" variable inputs. Both of the runs started on the 15th level, not the 1st.
About two months ago there was a complete overhaul of all the IL runs, and Mr Pitt took his time to reasign them to the new setup, but he did make some mistakes. DrFlamingo recently pointed out to me that one of my runs on the leaderboard was in the wrong category, I've reasigned the run accordingly but it's still possible that there are others like it. So if you notice any runs in the wrong places, post them here, or message about them any of the mods through speedrun.com or discord.
It seems that the playspal domain has expired, and so it is impossible to run the exclusive categories for that website. For that reason I have removed all of the mission ILs and the 100% Full-game categories. Also, I've added miliseconds to the ILs. And I am not going to retime all of the runs that are on the leaderboards right now, because I am planning to set new better times in the near future either way.
Yes. 100 Levels. It would be a run identical to “All 10 levels”, but it had to be done 10 times. I know that it would naturally be very similar, but it tests consistency more, than the existing category. Also, It being much longer, it would have healthier competition. Do you think that it could be fun category worth implementing?
After a long session of testing, I did found a not-really-but-close-to-consistent hole 4 skip. Mind, I did it on the lowest quality which is why the images are so low-res. And some ways in which I determine specifically where to put, can only be seen on that quality.
- This is a zoom on the right-most edge of the hole. Put around the area of the black circle.
I determine it by putting the cursor on the sixth ridge from the right, which can only be seen on the lower quality. After a successful put, the ball should be somewhere here.
- Put in such a way, that this black rectangle (which is supposed to come down from the left edge of the arrow), Is very slightly to the left of the flagpole.
Unfortunately, both puts need to be very precise. While it's not perfect, it is the best setup I could have came up with. I can do it about 50% of the time (in a reasonable time period). Hope this will help somebody!
PS: Sorry for the weird image sizes. They're direct imgur links, and I don't exacly know how to fix them.
I think that a cover would make this leaderboard look nicer. https://imgur.com/FYsSzf6
What do you think?
I do not think that IIIIIIIIIIII's WR is unfair, or that it should be deleted. I understand that it didn't brake any rules, but I think most would agree, that this isn't the way this game was supposed to be played. To counteract that, I would like to suggest a new second category, in which such strats aren't viable. A category in which the runner cannot make any mistakes. As doing so, would make the run invalid. What do you think?
So…
Today i found out that, if you have gained the “Cousteau” medal, and you reset the medals, you will not be able to gain the “Gourmet” medal. I suspect it is because reseting the medals does nothing to your fish gallery, so you still have 100/100 fish found. And you can't get back down to 76. This compromises the 100% category and I think it can only be solved in two ways:
1.Change the rules of the category so that you need to get all medals EXCEPT “Gourmet”.
2.Delete the category altogether because it doesn't make sense to have a category in which you need to get all the medals, but you can't get all the medals.
My opinion is mixed about this so i would like to hear what the community has to say. I'm going to hold off from doing anything for now.
