ValhallaIs there a reason for the separation? NES emulation is basically solved. If you can point to a reason to separate them, then I'm all ears.
Also if the timing for this game is going to change for a second time, then you should re-time the runs. It's not like it's a big leaderboard.
Really? When I used to mod, runs I rejected would disappear after awhile, eh w/e
Your profile, to the left click on pending actions, should be your rejected run there. Click that, bottom right of the video, three dots, option to delete is there.
Alternatively just wait, rejected runs get scrubbed eventually I think.
[quote]From my understanding you are not allowed to use emulators for speed runs.[/quote] Wrong. Incorrect. Negative.
You can use emulators for speedruns all you want. Certain leaderboards might have rules against certain emulators, but outside of that, find a game you like and go fast, rules be damned.
Maybe? It's honestly stupid either way. Content mods should probably eliminate game categories that don't feature the video game in question.
It's like playing a game of Monopoly really fast and recording it, and arguing that it should be put on one of the various leaderboards for video game versions of Monopoly. It's slippery slope for sure.
If I recreate the mushroom kingdom in my backyard and have someone record me goomba stomping through it, is that a speedrun that should be put on the SMB board? Probably not.
Uh there's this https://www.speedrun.com/pss/full_game which is a video game.
edit: i guess there's a MISC category for IRL sharpening, but it's still a leaderboard for a game.
Oh yeah, emotes are a thing, not even case sensitive, thanks i hate it
Yeah it's up there.
Speedrunning is based around video games. You can do other shit fast but no one really calls it speedrunning.
Lol like, track and field runners don't call it speedrunning. They don't scream pogchamp when they get a PB lmao
:P I recorded with OBS, captured windowed Rust with game capture, then captured Livesplit with window capture and put it at the top of the priority list.
First rule of speedrunning is there are no rules (unless you set some)
Splitting the only two runners up into their own category doesn't sound fair at all, but w/e. Yall need real solutions and not knee jerk reactions. Not like it's even a pressing issue, it's a very small leaderboard
The Konami collection boards arguably shouldn't even exist. Lest the argument become that every single version of any game gets its own dedicated leaderboard. As for the "Run the fastest version" thing, it isn't saying F U to everyone that ran prior, it's just the natural progression of competition. Unfortunately, old records get beaten all the time. If someone has their run bested, they're free to try and claim it back. No one is discrediting older runs. If the same logic were applied to strats/skips/glitches (something that is far more common and time saving than differences in lag across versions), then you would be arguing that beating an old record because of a new skip is telling F U to everyone prior. I'm not talking about huge skips that warrant category separation either (eg any% vs no ACE, etc), but rather just little things that can save time across an entire run.
I just think leaderboards of old games should embrace change and recognize that ten years down the road newer versions or ports could be what newer runners are picking up.
Oh, well, the AC version is accepted, but only if you run the 1987 NES release of cv1, not the 1993 FC release of cv1 (the japanese version). Problem is, the NES version is PRG0 which will crash from sprite overload. So I've tried being an advocate for running the 93 FC release from the AC, but it's still rejected. Of course the only reason it's rejected is because of a gentleman's agreement between cantaloupeme and myself for a race back in 2017 lol.
