This little board has grown to 14 runners (including what's in the pending queue at this moment).

As the competition heats up and the world record gets driven lower and lower, we've finally reached the point where we have 2 pending runs that, under the current scoring system, would TIE for 1st place at 56 seconds each.

I'm proposing adding milliseconds to the timing for this board for runs under 1 minute. This would likely break the tie in the queue, giving one of the runners the undisputed record, and I would only have to re-time 2 of the other runs on the board today.

I want to give the rest of the community the opportunity to chime in if you have a different idea how this should work. Please let me know your thoughts ASAP so I can get to verifying and retiming!

Should we:

1. Add milliseconds for ALL runs
2. Add milliseconds for runs under 1 minute
3. Leave the timing alone
4. Something else

at first I wasn't so sure, but, girl you know it's true

Thanks!!

I knew this would happen! GG!

Congratulations!

Thanks guys, this has me curious now. I did some grinding, and I've gotten round one in 5 dodges a few times now, but there's usually at least one enemy punch. On top of that, having to get through more punches in round 2 makes this pretty frustrating. I did get two 31's and a 30.X with these strats, but I've yet to get it with three perfect rounds. Really want to see if this can save time without the TAS slide!

You found him

Yeah, I like the idea of milliseconds. Thanks!

Good day!

The only mod for that board was last online 11 months ago, on Jan 25.

I submitted a (then-WR) run 27 days ago, on Dec 1.

I attempted to contact the mod via social media 4 days ago, on Dec 24: https://twitter.com/Bokonon_Lives/status/1342169340561469441

It is a small board, but I am aware of 4 other people who recently completed speedruns for this game, including 2 that beat my own time and claimed WR. (I have no knowledge of whether or not they submitted to the board, but I suspect at least the new WR would have been uploaded.)

Thank you very much for your time and consideration, and have a great day.

Thank you junkyard dave! I think we all understand that a lot of work goes into verifying runs and modding a board, and we kind of came at you out of nowhere with a ton of submissions, so no worries! Thanks for the communication and transparency.

Thanks for making it an open question! I'm fine with either option, and I don't have any strong preference.

Reset rule sounds good to me. FYI it seems like after beating the game, the difficulty automatically increases by one, so you have to either reset or manually bring it back down to 2 again. Reset is a simple and fair solution.
