Hello fellow Battle Arena Toshinden Speedrunners,

The Leaderboard has been updated with change to the character variables as well as an update to the images.

When I joined the rankings and was later added to mod, many runs were in place so I don't plan on removing any categories with current times in them.

Please post here if you have something you want to be added or have a question/suggestion. You can also message me anytime.

Hi everyone,

I was surprised so many people have an interest in this game! I guess Shreks love and life is so powerful it stretches across the seas.

So after some testing today, I thought I would mention some findings.

It seems that there are mainly 2 types of stage Win conditions that will appear, in any random order from the start of the run till end.

Timed Shrek Slams Race for Shrek Super Slams

The second, Race for super shrek slams , is almost always the better option unless you get a 1 minute shrek slam. Also the count for winning seems to be random. Sometimes its 3 (usually for 1v1) but sometimes its first to 1 point or even 5 (even for 4 player stages)

Usually at the start of the run you will probably want to reset until you get race for shrek super slams, i noticed its more likely to be more race for shrek super slams if the first is timed. Stages also seem to be random.

If anyone finds any ways to manipulate stage or stage win conditions please lets post it here.

Thank you, this speedrun battle is never ogre.

Hi everyone and especially speedrun staff,

Given the crazy times right now I have been trying to catch up on uploading double checking, and overall fixing boards.

I found that the game Dragon Ball Z : Taiketsu has a correct board here : https://www.speedrun.com/dragonballztaiketsu

and also a board here:

https://www.speedrun.com/dragon_ball_z_taiketsu

The second board uses an odd ruleset so the characters do 1 hit and win.

I know its considered a very bad game, but if it wouldn't be too much can we merge the boards (with the 1hit as a special section) or delete the second board. I would love to hear if there is another option.

Thank you for taking the time to look at this post. I know its a small thing but I was hoping for some sort of answer.

Hi Guilty Gear Advance Speedrunners.

I want to clean up this board a bit. This would include several things. I am including my reasons as well. I will message runners who have an active

1.Finding a way to make all the characters appear on the front page.

It would be nice to clean up the board so you don't have to click MISC to change to another character. Instead you can click on the name. This is done in some other fighting game speedrun boards.

2. Deleting Easy, Hard, and Very Hard Categories.

This game is known for having no change in computer behavior from one difficulty to the next. The run doesn't change, the difficulty does change, and AI players still take hits to the face because for some reason they stand still and don't block at most times.

I don't want to take away other runners records (including my own) but I realized it is repetitive.

What does everyone who is active think?

Hello!

I had a quick question on how to submit multiple videos for a single speedrun submission.

Sometimes I have seen part one or different embedded windows for speedruns. However whenever I go to submit it says Video Link; How do I submit multiple links.

Sorry if my question is worded messily. I appreciate any help that can be given. Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

I would like participate in more online marathons this year so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a usb capture card.

Specifically, I would like to use this for my PS4, and when I purchase in the next coming month that also. My Budget is a little over 100 usd, but if the El gato is really what people reccomend I will purchase that. However it is currently more expensive in japan. (https://www.amazon.co.jp/Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-1GC109901004/dp/B01DRWCOGA/ref=dp_ob_title_ce) That is expensive right?

I did a large amount of research before but many people are using for different reasons or 1 or 2 people complain on the amazon page. I just wanted to hear from this community before I purchase. What do you use? What do you reccomend after reading above?

Looking forward to reading and replying to responses. Please help!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to ask what everyone thinks, I played a game called pandaland yesterday/today. It was a full release game. It's just on the short side, being 7 minutes to play. I found a warp, and a death glitch that shorten that time even further. My intention was to highlight a cute little indie game I found,

My run was rejected for the reason of "Not accepting short flash based games at this time.

I was hoping to show the game off, a glitchess/non-exploit run would still be 5 minutes. Should I explain my case to someone? Should one be more careful about the games chosen? What's too short if glitches and warps are involved? What do you all think?

Here is the run in question:

I'm not mad at the decision, I just want to hear opinions and suggestions. Feel like I wasted some time trying to find every glitch/exploit I could in the game.

What is speedruns.com connection to speed demos archive and other sites? Is there a split in the community? Is it shunned upon to post both places? Are there other sites I was not aware of? 〈(゜。゜)

I know that the history was that speed demos started as a quake speedrun site. In addition, it seems to still be active have a separate community but with the same games and sometimes (like for example Ikari warriors) the speedrun times are not updated on both sites.

I am not trying to spark a debate, just really curious about what the status/relationship between the two sites and other sites are currently, and what people could tell me. I tried to google this but it was difficult so I was hoping some experts on here could shed some insight. ＼(;ﾟ∇ﾟ)/

Thank you!

I think this is actually important, and I didn't find anything on the FAQs or online that quite answered it so I was hoping to have the speed run communities input.

My main question is what does one do to insure that they have good recordings of their run?

I recently started using Twitch, because in order to submit records they need to be recorded that way. Makes perfect sense to me.

The problem I ran into was, that one of the games I was attempting and achieved WR for, the recording in Twitch was not good. At parts it seems to drop frames of the recording. My guess is that my connection was bad, I have since then always make sure to close anything that uses bandwidth. My connection is actually pretty great aside from what seems to be that one game.

However, I have a worry that the issue, a spike or drop in connection could cause such an error again or if ever the internet should go out... ⊙﹏⊙Should I record with OBS recording? Is there another record program that uses little resources?

Here is the run I am talking about for more context:

If I was asked to verify someones run that had jumps in it like the run I played live on twitch. Then I most likely would decline it, so I think it is reasonable to decline my own run. Am I being to hard on myself? What programs or extra actions should be taken to ensure a run is recorded? Any and all ideas, advice, and suggestions welcome. <(_ _)>

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I look forward to your responses. Let's discuss.

Hello Everyone!

Recently my friends overseas pushed me to stream and share some of the games I play. Actually it is a little overwhelming because many people have so many good videos. I had seen AGDQ previously but I didn't realize it was this popular.

Please follow and come watch my speedruns at https://www.twitch.tv/dragonballarcade

I play to many games to list but what games does everyone play here?

Where should I be posting my videos? please feel free to give advice. ۹⌤_⌤۹

I look forward to sharing and being in this community. Thank you!
