I wasn't aware of this flaw with arcade mode prior. I will revise the rules to require 9 stages (I don't really see any value in having a 7 stage category).

If you want to submit to IL boards, you can submit to https://www.soniccenter.org/ . Have fun. (Edit: It's because there's almost no IL video competition for this game and as a result there's no real reason to just have a bunch of empty IL boards here, so just go submit to TSC instead.)

TASes don't go on speedrun.com. They go on http://tasvideos.org/ .

As stated in the emulator rules, the only emulators allowed now are DeSmuME and MelonDS. Our sincere apologies, you will have to wait until your PC is fixed.

Retiming it and using that timer is desirable. A timer in the video is required. I'm interested in seeing the final contents.

Recently, I rejected a run for not providing adequate video proof. You most definitely need a recording of pretty much the entire run for it to be accepted. You do not /need/ a capture card to record a full game run. A good alternate method of doing so is using a webcam on a tripod to record a taped down DS. (Yes, webcam is allowed, the gameplay just has to be reasonably visible in order for it to qualify.)

What do you mean by clarification? You beat Nega Wisp Armor as fast as possible from a new save file. That's all there really is to it, other than basic speedrun rules that most games also do not directly state in their rulesets, such as no cheats, no impactful modding or no modding at all, no pausing the timer, cut the video to make sure that it is just the PB or close to it, watchable quality, no splicing, etc.

I forgot to add: If there is more interest in the category in the future I wouldn't be opposed to adding it.

As somebody who has done ILs of that boss, I can say that the layout you get at the very start of the fight is something that I regularly reset over. EDIT: To be more clear, the asteroid layouts are luckbased, much more than most anything else in the game except for the VS stages.

My apologies for a late reply, for some reason SRC's notifications didn't tell me about this thread's existence until I looked for it myself. The opinion put down by Allegro and I is that there really isn't enough demand for this particular category to exist, given that Kirbymastah, Allegro, and I have absolutely 0 interest in it because of the large amount of drawbacks that the category comes with. Those drawbacks being: It adds 7 autoscrollers that you can barely speed up. It adds a luck-based vs stage. It adds a luck based boss. It adds a 6.5 minute credits sequence. tldr it basically just adds a bunch of unneeded padding and luck to Beat the Game, with none of the positives that 100% has such as cool different level routing and adding missions.

I would suggest learning All Levels or 100% or just do normal Beat the Game. If you want to continue with it on your own feel free, but we feel that there is no need to add Good Ending/All Emeralds.

I don't believe that it has ever been calculated, but I do know that it saves maybe 5-10 seconds on the Gordor dialogue before Raikou alone, and that carries over the whole game because of significantly faster text. I don't think anybody has ever taken the game seriously on a language that's not Japanese so there's no good estimate.

If you want to run something like that just run All Stages (which i'm going to add as a category in the extremely near future).

The proper titling is Speedrun. Not Speed run. Speedrun. Is this website speed_run.com? Are we speed runners? No. We are Speedrunners.

I would like to be added as a mod for http://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_Pocket_Adventure and http://www.speedrun.com/Sonic_Colors_DS . I am basically the most knowlegable person who does SS for both of these games (and the only one).
