After a few hours of contemplation, and originally thinking of being against the banning on Win7 for the Remaster category, I think they better option in the long run would actually be banning it outright.

A few thoughts on it are open with the fact that even though this is the"nicer looking" of the two available on steam (so far it functions better in some aspects for me, but I haven't really hard grinded the comparison), the older version is still available for others using a Win7 OS for them to run in, should they want to do so.

Though I do not consider myself too competitive in terms of speedrunning, I will admit learning about the FPS difference in Win10 and Win7 definitely places a mental hindrance on attempting to improve, especially if you started on Win10 like I did. Biggest point of this would definitely be if we kept them together (or even separate categories) if anyone were to experience their computer needing a replacement, leading to an OS replacement/upgrade, there is a possibility they may never actually be able to improve on their time should they have moved on to Win10 from Win7.

In short, I dislike excluding people due to hardware and/or budget, other options for Win7 exist and I think in the long run, it's the more practical solution.

I'm pretty new to learning this run, and had been running an emulator to practice out the new route for the game. After some trial and error of the earlier run, I managed to make it to the new method of Superjump into ETR. However, I have yet to actually pull off the clip into the house, let alone the ability to pull off the superjump at all. As far as I can tell, I'm doing most things correctly (mounting Yoshi behind the pillar to land on the star piece, not stopping or jumping before attempting the superjump) but I have yet to even get a normal "rising" animation from the jump storage. Is there something I am missing?

Hello, I'm new to speedrunning and in the learning the ropes stage, but I've fallen in love with FFVIII and would really like to speedrun it! However, I can't seem to get the concept of the early Quistis card patterns no matter how much I try. I've looked at varying patterns through the Pingval method and the sort, and though I understand the plays, I can't quite grasp how to get the groupie to play his pattern. Is there a trick I am missing to make this happen? Thanks in advance!
