IndonesiaYou can do a run of it, it doesn't need to be speedrun "legal" or the category doesn't "exist" you can just do runs. And I encourage people to just run the game in whatever rules you wanna play or category.
The rules/categories on speedrun.com is completely arbitrary anyways, just like in real life.
I would consider it, however we need @Lonne and me to have a discussion about it. Not just me thinking it's a good idea and implement it straight away.
I was looking to run this game, and looking at the leaderboards makes me sick. Why is there All Tracks - Different Cars/Egg Cars/Non-Egg Cars?. If you think about it ALL of All Tracks - Any% runs ARE All Tracks - Egg Cars because you use Thor, and you only get that car from an Egg. And All Tracks - Non-Egg Cars is a dumb category because you just don't use Thor and that's it. All Tracks - Different-Cars is just switching cars every race which is not interesting. Championship% should be added as a category, where you HAVE to complete ALL the championships. You have to unlock them manually which means no New Game+ ONLY New Game, not using any password. Also, split console runs and emulator runs.
There has been a lot of runs using portrait video format, I reject them all simply because it's unwatchable, you can zoom into the videos but then you run into another issue of the video being pixelated. The reason why it isn't the rules tab is because it's just simple and nothing controversial about it, it's just brain numbly dumb to complain about so simple yet people still do it.
If you change the in-game sens it will screw up vertical sensitivity, put it as default and change your mouse DPI to a low one e.g like 850 (what I use), You can use Dinput.dll to fix the aiming.
At that point, just buy an Xbox One X and buy an external SSD to play the game.
I think it's @Lonne 's decision whether to allow retirements or not.
I think it should be called With Retiring/Without Retiring
I look at this at two different angles
-
Yes it's faster to just retire and just win the championship.
-
What even is the point for playing the game if you just not playing, it should be just called one-third% and that would be boring or make a different category for it.
But for right now just complete all the races.
You can record without timer, I think as long you have video evidence it should be good. Post it wherever you like on Youtube
RTA stands for Real Time Attack which means timer continues through loading screens Loadless Time however timer pause in loading screens
I think as long the game is not getting blocked by splits or anything else, it should be okay

And plus there's a thing called let's plays
Timing is now by IGT. This is calculated by adding the "Total Time" shown at the result screen of every race.
The reason is that, emulators loading times vs console loading times are different and, since PCSX2 is unoptimized there will be slowdowns for people who have worse hardware.
Katakura Kojuuro: Chapters 1,2, and 3 No health upgrades Chapter 4 One health upgrade Chapter 5 No health upgrade
Azai Nagamasa: Chapter 1 One health upgrade Chapter 2,3 No health upgrade Chapter 4 One health upgrade Chapter 5 No health upgrade
Oichi: Spend all the money gathered on health upgrades
It would make Azai and Katakura more brutal segments at least Oichi's part is now less brutal and hell on earth.
"Using any timing method but RTA also goes against the nature of speedrunning" No, it is simply wrong here is an example; GTA 4 uses LRT because loading times depend on framerate, and people with better PC specs have a massive advantage. So it makes sense to use other timings.
