Categories and leaderboards are made to compare your run to other runners, aswell as to compete. Leadersboards are also for having a clean and nice way to show what ways people play a certain game, in our case as speedrunners, how we play the game fast, or how fast a game can be.
As for the "current patch" / "other games have it" Yes, this is true. Some games have these categories, to this point in Aragami's life, nobody has wanted to do this, therefore it's not a category.
If you won't run this game without a category of your own, then there is no point. But if you want to play the game and learn everything about it, submit your time in the current leaderboard, add a comment saying that it is a "current patch" run. And eventhought this game is not popular, mabye, just mabye, you get some people who want to do that aswell.
There is another way of doing it aswell, there is a hole in the mountain just to the right of that spot, that used to be the hole we used in old route before we had diveboosting
haha, no we know about this im afraid. You can even go on the backside of the mountain since its not solid if you get a good enough boost.
Hi i would like to become a mod for the game "sanix the edgehog " https://www.speedrun.com/sanix2dx Waited a few months to have my run verified and both the mods seem to be MIA.
I'm so happy that you got it working! If there is anything you need help with in the game, message me or preferably Janmumrik. We love to help new people! Some explanations of strats are found in this run at ESA
I had the same problem alot of times when downpatching, i don't remember what the fix was. But i do remember the fix being quite simple. It was something like rebinding it, or messing with some settings
So you can actually die and fail "finishing" the game after placing the third artifact while getting shot by the final boss. Doing this will not get you to the credits and will just restart the bossfight. Under the current ruleset this is totally fine as all you have to do is place the third artifact. Just wanted to ask this question before starting to run the game.
Update on the previous Valley update, new strats have been found that make the run faster and more consistant. Im running the game at Degen Dash soon, so while doing no reset runs today i got a 14:59.99 which absolutely dwarfs what i thought i would be able to do with mostly marathon friendly strats. (16:30) was my original goal for this submission. Just thought you would like to hear about the developement, im going to look more closely at it if this means the estimate can get reduced.
Still waiting on fully dusting off NecroVision, but i have done single no reset runs here and there that have been within the estimate, so it's looking real good for ESA, can't wait.
Valley is a game from 2016, it looks good even on the lower settings. But it would be hard to imagine it running well on the 960M, although i will attempt it if necessary.
NecroVision: Lost Company has tricks that rely on really high framerates, but this might be doable on the laptop aswell the 960M one.
The difficulty of the game has little to no effect on how the speedrun is ran.
Just give me a link, ill put it on resources and give you credit. Then this thread will selfdestruct.
Also, cool!
did you ever try using waits while having control inside the normal memory sequence?
Update: I have submitted all these games to other marathons that will happen before ESA aswell, so if they survive second cuts i will have more experience delivering good commentary. Already planned for good couches for all my games aswell.
NecroVision Lost Company I totally forgot to add the newest pb from NecroVision Lost Company here, got that about a week ago. I'm more than consistant enough to do this run at a marathon now, its just one stage that can lose me alot of time due to it being quite special. New PB - 28:30
Valley I wanted to get below 17 minute run before second cuts, but real life, school has gotten in the way. Will work really hard to improve the time in the game before ESA if it gets in. That said, i will be practicing with marathon strats, and going for PBs with marathon strats. This game loses minutes upon minutes if something goes wrong, so going for the WR strats is not worth it at a marathon. New PB - 17:19
Nikita I am done developing marathon strats for the game, got the WR back with those strats, i can still improve this time by about 1 minute if i grind out runs with a inconsistent glitch which i might do before ESA if it get's past second cuts. New WR - 15:37
