Hi there I noticed on the runs that the loading screen are long. However I play on PC and the game loads really fast (like 1sec to enter a level) Is this unfair ? I mean it's clearly a advantage against for example CycloneFN who play on GameCube.

For me it depends if we want to split up the RTA runs on Console and PC or add a "without loading" parameter, i think for now we have a small amount of runs to actually matter. It's fine if you run Individual Levels since we use the internal timer to measure. Also i'm not sure if there is a difference with PAL vs NTSC on the speed.

idk if anyone has noticed but i was watching gameplay of the Xbox version and the loads just completely blow GC out of the water (generally 1-3 seconds per load). over the course of a run that could potentially save several minutes

It's true, unfortunately. I might one day propose to the other mods and runners a change to exclude loading times (I'd need to do some more research first).
It's true that version differences are a part of speedrunning, but saving over 5 minutes due to loading times does not reflect on a player's true skill (this has already happened before, Luigi and RareGamer had beaten my 1:05 time purely due to loading screens).

i think if you really want to get good at a game and get a good time, its fair that you play on the optimal console. playing on an inferior console would be misrepresenting skill. ive never been a fan of removing loading times from a run because it seems too tedious, but i also dont think its okay to discourage running on the optimal console. its all up to you though since youre a mod and actually run the game where as i dont. i just wanted to share my opinion from experience in another speed game. also is your GC really that bad?

Create different categories/sub-categories like the Ice Age 2 leader boards did due to PC load being almost non-existent.
