SupporterBecause we never created a leaderboard for rocket launcher due to lack of interest.
Rocket launcher should inherently NOT be on the same leaderboard as any%. That is why the run was rejected for now. any% = New Game.
If you will wait, we are discussing this.
I created the Easy directory. I actually had no idea that people would be worried about it, but I created it because Khomchik's run did indeed take less damage from enemies and there were no other Easy mode runs. It didn't feel right to just reject it on principle without a discussion first.
Komakino go away. You still think there's a possibility that you can get one over on us because you think we don't talk to Japanese players. Unless you can give us names (or if said other players are willing to post here) then there's no reason we should believe you.
We've all done the research to learn which Chinese versions are real and which ones are fake. The Chinese version we found is in fact an official Capcom version. There is a ton of copyright infringement with Bio3, but you are incorrect that we use fake versions.
You are assuming that the English-speaking people who play RE3 (who are not Japanese) are stupid, and have never tried to talk to other Japanese players. I know you have tried multiple times to submit your times on multiple speedrun.com accounts to cheat leaderboard positions. We're not fucking idiots, Komakino.
It's almost funny how your focus in this conversation shifted IMMEDIATELY when Keny (another Japanese) offered his opinion. You expected Keny to attack you immediately, then you pre-emptively went after him. He didn't say anything to you in this conversation. You attacked him to try to make yourself look better. Keny is being smart by not talking to you.
If anything, everything you said about Keny (bought $1000's worth of keyboards to experiment with, makes many game saves, and records his statistics) just shows me that he's dedicated to learning about, and really loves Bio3. Keny said "Japanese runners can't use the Chinese version" simply because nobody knows how to obtain it. Keny managed to obtain the Chinese version. He won't use it because he wants to remain fair to other Japanese players who still wish to play Bio3 Mediakite. This is admirable of Keny, because I do the same thing.
Lastly, if you're so against illegal downloading, show us a picture of your Biohazard 3 disc. I have spoken to Japanese players who have said you lied about having a real copy. They also told me you got really angry and attacked others over it when you couldn't prove it. If you can't prove you are not a liar, then maybe you shouldn't pretend to have superior morals.
Also, you are a racist.
Just don't literally stop to go do something else outside of play the game.
Yes, we can edit submitted run information before hitting "accept" because it actually is easier than rejecting the run entirely.
Yes, I did just jump to the end of the run. Because every time I log into speedrun.com there's like 20 runs to go through because there's not enough moderators right now. So, the only thing I'm actually checking is whether there is video and whether it is continuous. But occasionally I find gems like the guy who fullscreens his webcam and destroys his voice to force hype. Too bad it is literally covering entire chunks of footage deliberately, as funny as it is to watch.
Punchy - Don't feel bad, better you than some other belligerent asshole deliberately looking for holes to make me plug up, but I already made peace with the fact I can't check all of them. Does create an annoying witchhunt callout scenario though.
Can I make a suggestion to merge Emulator with SD Console and tick "Hidden by default" as both of the runners who have submitted emulator runs actually do own consoles?
mirroring what I posted in the other thread, I'm game, as long as SD console is its own thing a la RE4. It makes sense. I ain't putting in the work to merge, but I approve of the idea.

Hey, so I'm interested in figuring out the mechanics for this.
I checked all the Easy mode runs, and it looks like one of two things happen:
- Kill the big insects
- Wait 5 minutes exactly and Marguerite will just die
but something interesting I noticed was in Snakesoldier1980's run on the leaderboard, he waited 3 minutes before Marguerite fell. One thing I noticed was, he went into the fight with only one herb.
uhTrance confirmed that there was Difficulty Adjustment in this game on Easy (don't know about Madhouse, but if so, Madhouse would be locked at the highest unless Capcom releases another difficulty level) so it could be possible that running into the fight with no heals lessens the length.
@Caelm_Bleidd - I'm going to be frank, and I apologize - I don't understand French and I (personally) don't have time to watch multiple unsuccessful attempts of Knife Only on Madhouse. In the interest of deducing what we know and don't know, what specifically did you try to look for in each attempt?
OK, after some conversation in the Discord, because there was some uncertainty about what I was proposing (and thought that I meant an extreme of separating ALL regions), let me explain. This is my fault, I should have been clearer about what I was proposing in the OP, and I apologize for being lazy in my explanation. I would rather that history doesn't repeat itself while creating a happy medium for everyone else.
Here's what I mean-
The real problem isn't region separation, the real problem is 50Hz vs. 60Hz and accessibility to 60Hz versions. Nobody on the NTSC side gives a fuck about US vs. JPN, but there are clearly huge differences between NTSC and PAL but ONLY for PS1 and GCN.
I don't aim to add a million more leaderboards by separating ALL regions, because I agree, that's an extreme, and therefore ludicrous. All I would like is for there to be separate "console" leaderboard tabs for 50Hz specifically for GCN and PS1/Disc.
60Hz versions of RE2 can be obtained easily for play on GCN through softmods, but not everyone has the basic technical knowledge to hack a Wii and run GeckoOS or similar.
This is a bigger problem on PS1/2 because it requires hard mods, swap discs that don't work on every console (SCPH-90k models can't run swap discs, softmods, or modchips) or straight up buying a Japanese console to run the game (something I personally have no problem with because that's always been done in the speedrunning community since its inception).
PSN is a no-brainer, if you own a PSP or PS3 you can just buy the Japanese games off the Japanese PSN Store.
Dreamcast always runs in 60Hz on PAL iirc.
So really, the only consoles where this is a problem on is GCN and PS1/2. I'd say just add PS1/2 50Hz and GCN 50Hz tabs.
You can't compare the two, and it's there, and it's proven broken.
I say ban it if that's the case.
People ALWAYS have to import regardless to get the Japanese versions and most other communities already import NTSC consoles/games for their runs regardless, so I don't think that importing is much of an argument against banning PAL altogether. Never has been, in the speedrunning community. There are also many ways to be able to play the games at their proper speed in non-NTSC aside from PC. PSP, PS3, Dreamcast (does run at 60Hz btw), even emulation just to name a few.
in plain english, this bugs the shit out of me.
There has been a lot of call for a PAL leaderboard for a long time now, and now that the infrastructure is in place I think it'd be okay. Thoughts?
OH. Ok then, if IGT is affected by framerate variables, RTA should be the standard for PC in particular so as to not cripple people over varying framerates/hardware. I can agree with that. Just that no special timing needs to be done aside from load omission. In that case, I'm with Zenix.
Also, I can tell you from experience that sharing ideas behind a walled garden such as a discord server doesn't work in practice. If you have ideas, talk about them here.
EDIT: Well fuck, if the load remover doesn't work, then that's an issue.
why do you want to do RTA for PC exactly Zenix? I personally don't see why it would be a problem to just do IGT since it doesn't seem like the IGT is actually affected by framerate.
I mean the only reason NG would be RTA is for load times and chapter intermission inventory anyhow. I don't see a reason to go out of the way to make any kind of special timing ruling for such a banal section of "gameplay".
People are bothered about inventory and menuing between the parts of the gameplay that actually matter
and ignoring the fact that NG SS and NG+ SS HAS to have continuity between chapters for timing regardless of whether you open inventory or not.
just go IGT for everything, don't ban chapter intermission inventories, and ban mid-level restarts/checkpoint warping for SS runs. this is ridiculous and overcomplicates for no reason. The game gives you a time, the timer's consistent. Some IGTs just omit inventory screens (like with Silent Hill). The developers made RE5's IGT the way it is specifically so people wouldn't have to worry about that shit when competing on the leaderboards and (sans checkpoint glitch) it worked out fine.
Why overcomplicate it? The game just hands it off to players on a silver platter.
why was RTA decided on as the timing method for RE5 anyway? Because of SS runs and the inventory between chapters + checkpoint warps, or what?
Also, banning inventory between chapters sounds 100% arbitrary. You may be right about going and restocking inventory (such as FAS) being slower, but if it's slower, would it be unfair to the people who get the faster time by not using the inventory? The answer is so obvious.
