Hey! I'm just getting into trying Bubble Bobble 2 as a speedgame and I'm wondering if theres some kind of a guide somewhere that could help me understand some of the mechanics I see being used in the speedruns on here? Such as intentionally dieing to keep lives count low, not grabbing the crystals, bouncing on bubbles a certain amount of time?
Also, would I be allowed to submit runs done on the NES Classic as I can transfer a rom over to it to use it as my emulator of choice. Would this be classified under Emulator runs? Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me out!
In the discord server, a few rules were discussed after I completed my run such as: -level resets are allowed -the run should use IGT for the leaderboard. -no timer glitches are allowed. -runs must be done in arcade and must follow the specific path that the number corresponds to in the score screen (from top to bottom, 1 to 19).
Are there any more rules that could be defined for this category? I thought I'd make this post to clearly seperate the rules discussed in the discord from the rest of the chat about the game.
