So for that instance, they do explain it within the Category Rules when you are on a leaderboard with that option selected. They list a No Major Skips as "Tricks that do not skip entire missions, and that save no more than 30 seconds are permitted. Skipping sub-missions, such as collecting flashlight in daycare, are allowed. Going Out of Bounds, or using deloads in any way shape or form, are banned."

2 options:

1. While those splits are open, right click and choose "Save Splits As...", save file for new run, then go and make all the edits you need in the "Edit Splits..." tab.
2. Start from scratch by doing right click "Close Splits", timer should just show basic timer, to which you do the "Save Splits As..." and setup brand new.

First one sounds like its just a NG+ method, which would be simple enough to set a rule that attempts must be done on a fresh file or something like that.

For the second one, I wouldn't necessarily consider it cheating if it's listed as a resource for the game and everyone can use it, though I can see the argument of doing a mod for QoL being deemed as a cheat.

They probably mean "Minecraft Trial". Found at least 1 mobile app with that name.

lock rule is dumb, just count with comments or not

I've seen splits required for timers that use load removers as well.

Assuming this rule is still in effect, you'd just be running the No Major Glitches category. If you're on PS3, Easy would be the lowest difficulty available anyways. Also anyone wondering why double post, original reply wouldn't edit so I just deleted and re-did.

4 comment: I've only ruined the count officially once when I specifically said "I'm ruining the counting on purpose" a while back. if we're being pedantic about the capitalization needed on "comment" then i mean that's on you guys. also would Bacon's ruin the count since he didn't actually count on his post? funny that ox said he would let us be and is still here helping like crazy XD

comment: tbf rules say cardinal numbers, which can mean either digit form or fully written out so idk why we restarted this time

The one thing I can think of just looking at profiles of Japanese Mario 64 runners is that the name being in hiragana/katakana is causing issues. All the JP runners I looked up that have their twitch links all use romaji for their username and they all work.

comment: i just wanted to add to the chaos that was happening today in here :) btw it's roman numerals

MKB is just a different way to control the game. There's typically no requirement saying you must do runs with controller especially on PC games so you should be fine. If you're really concerned, you can double check with the mods but more than likely they'll just say there's no issues with it.

For the runs, first example of 2 min run in 20m of video with that 2m being the only thing submitted, yeah I've seen those get rejected before. It's one thing I'm definitely OK with, especially since YouTube has a built in editor and Twitch has the Highlighting function. Second example as Dan said would be nice for runners to put in time stamps about when X part of run actually starts or they can always have their links timestamped to start when that category they're submitting for starts.

Second part of posts is pretty close to first response, which is that I've seen runs be rejected if not embedded, which a lot of those Dan mentioned not having any embedding features.

tbf there's already 1 counting thread. can see why people are so adamant about counting in that one compared to this.

Reset btw

I mean any re-timing doesn't pay attention to the timer at all. You're usually using some kind of video editing software to get the timing down to the frame.

The "Resources" tab on whatever game should list if someone has made any kind of autosplitter and there may be a forum post or guide on how to set it up, but a lot of older retro games do not have autosplitters like that. They'll typically at most use load remover tools. If it's just on first movement, it doesn't sound too hard to do the first split right when moving the magnifying glass. Best bet is to check those boards and then ask on that run's forums or in their discord if there are any autosplit tools like that for the game.

SM64 Discord stuff leaked into the forums one day and this was born. Also:

Hey

They're not asking for specific levels to be banned, but for people not to actively look at the level layout through something like smm2.wizul.us
