We do have a Cars speedrunning discord if you want that: https://discord.gg/kGdjBUp As for emulators being banned, I don't know about most games, but I do know why for MN (because I was the one who did it). If you're going to use an emulator, for the most part they're used for TAS, and so because of that one would have to go through a lot of time to put together a TAS that might be just about as optimal as the current WR run, so because of that we ban emulators in MN. Granted, I know that most emulator runs AREN'T TAS, but the thing is that if you're going to use an emulator, the quality of the run itself just might not be as good as a physical copy or download from Steam or something, at least in my opinion. Again, can't speak for other Cars games.

Unfortunately, I did not make SGDQ 2018. However, my GDQ quest will not stop here! I will try out for AGDQ 2018 in October (as well as make sure to register myself to go to give me a better chance at it) and I will find a couple more games for me to submit (I feel like I could definitely have selected other games that would give me a better chance).

Sure, but for us to talk on Discord you need to join the DI discord: https://discord.gg/Kvyu3Ap And please join as quickly as you can, that way we can get started with discussion faster.

Wow, didn't realize that was a thing. Hope the races go well with this event! Guessing you're Ergka?

I would love to hear the things you did when you got twenty five minutes for a run.

All good with me.

Texas, USAJak87 years ago

Hey Ergkjr, when are you going to try to beat my record times? I ask since I would like to see you beat my times to see what I can improve on if I get accepted into SGDQ 2018 with Disney Infinity.

And might I also become a mod? I hope to become very active here on this leaderboard, so I would honestly like to help run the leaderboard.

Texas, USAJak87 years ago

That also doesn't seem to work. I sent a link to the discord you wanted to make, so join that and then we can talk on there at least, then I can send a friend request.

Texas, USAJak87 years ago

You want a discord? https://discord.gg/meDHVEu This link should never expire.

Texas, USAJak87 years ago

Is your discord accurate on here? I can't seem to send a friend request.

Good thing you're finally a mod.

Texas, USAJak87 years ago

Certainly! I will gladly do so if I get in at all! I'll give a shoutout to all my communities!

All the licensed game communities (perhaps besides BFBB) are pretty much underappreciated and underrated at the same time in my opinion (nothing agains BFBB, but it's just the most popular licensed game to speedrun due to SHiFT and everything.

Getting put ahead I think is actually intended by the game's design so as to let a player have a chance to gain some speed before being overtaken after getting reset. So if you find places to do it where it's faster, do it.

Texas, USAJak87 years ago

The games list will be posted on April 4th.

Also, I would like to see a run of MU and see what you do to get under 25 minutes then; like I said, the runs are definitely not the best they can be, but for now they're good. I just need to really get down to it and optimize them. Before I was getting like 35 minutes on MU, then 34, then 30, then 29. Which console do you play on?

I made plenty of mistakes in all of the runs, so yeah, I think that none of them are really very optimized, but oh well. I just haven't had the time to practice with the game. I feel like if I did, that sub-25 and maybe even sub-20 would be done already. Go ahead and beat my times if you want to, I'd be glad to have some competition on these games now that we have people running them.

Texas, USAJak87 years ago

Alright, I guess maybe things take time. I'm still hoping for a response from one of the mods for ANYTHING I've posted, though. I'm worried that they either get too busy to do things on speedrun.com at the moment or they just left the internet for a while.

Hey guys, I will be making four runs to submit to SGDQ 2018:

  1. Monsters University
  2. Incredibles
  3. Cars If I get in with Disney Infinity and one of you guys decides that you want to be a couch member if you are able to and willing to go to Minnesota (Bloomington at the Doubletree Hilton Inn), then that would be wonderful if you would tell me that.
Texas, USAJak87 years ago

I'll ask this:

Shouldn't there be a requirement for videos for full-game runs? I can definitely understand IL's not needing videos, but for full-game it's practically a necessity.

Texas, USAJak87 years ago

Seems swell to me.

That works.

Texas, USAJak87 years ago

Well, I mean, you could answer me a question like if you're available to go and willing to go to the event, and if so would you like to be a couch member for one of my games.

Unfortunately, I have decided to not make Cars one of those games, so if you want to be a couch member for it (if it were to get accepted), then it won't happen.

BTW, good to hear from you again.

Texas, USAJak87 years ago

Okay, yeah, that's another thing I would have done if you couldn't contact him already.
