Ontario, CanadaWe are currently in week two of sign ups. Currently over 12+ players Plenty of new faces learning and eager to participate with some of the more experienced players. There is still time to sign up as it will be kept open for at least another week or more currently. Starting date is still tentative while commentary team is being established and players have time to practice and play. Looking forward to the matches to come once we have established the starting date and scheduling matches.
I cannot even understand what you have written there because of the poor grammar and that its all run on sentences without a focus.
Use it if you want or don't, if you aim to be competitive then like most competitions you will need to learn and or get better at things that you do not know or not do well.
If someone decides to use external sources to cheat outside the game then there becomes and issue which can be addressed to a more scrutinous manner.
The Long Library is a discord community for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The name is of an area in the game called "The Long Library".

I'm familiar with the ps3 emu because of og nier and it has similar issues as well.
So the issue I have with separating them even if that was the case would be more empty looking board.
The other thing is that there is nothing stopping you from doing it in emu, it just won't sit in the board with official version runs. Which is fair atm not that it couldn't change but there's just not enough interest or reason to do that atm.
tbh its not official release of the game and they still have issues working to my knowledge as last gen console emus are not really on par with being fair use atm.
I would try and get in touch with KF1 and see if they already have a discord server if not then I'm more then willing to set one up much like for other communities i started or have been involved with.
no one is being forced to do anything, and a simple solution would be to tag runs that use these sorts of things with a simple variable, but i suggest not splitting them up because the more to dived down leader-boards the more empty they become. adding a variable as a filter would be a reasonable thing to do if its that big of a deal but currently I don't think so. I mainly run play on Console and its particularly one class in specific that has a minor mechanical glitch designed around keybindings.
There is no perfect way to go about it and there is even more issues with trying to ban something like that considering how we would go about explaining and making sure people are aware of what it is and what it looks like if its found to be used. It would be very hard to enforce a "console-usage" ban for runs because it can easily be used before a run even starts and there is no way that i can think of to proof runs other then watching them closely which is fine but things can still slip by.
The main thing to think about is that at least on PC "console-usage" is available to all those players so its fair use and its part of the game as its just a keybinding and not using actual console cheats.
If players want to to compete to the point where that makes the difference then thats what they will have to think about but we are no where even near that point nor can i see it being that influential when its affecting one class perk mainly and the boards are not even remotely close to that competitive to make rash judgement calls or changes.
My weigh in on this is as its a in game mechanical glitch it's fair use regardless if against people who do not use it has it can be replicated and use by anyone that wants to. the only limitation that is really affected is being on pc makes it far easier. But no separation or bans against it should be taken.
Tournament has concluded and our results are as follows:

I'd also like to mention that I'm more then willing to help with bringing and running more equipment as needed for future events for either main or side stuff at event.
Things that I am working on atm: portable pc gaming rigs and set ups for side stream or recording uses. setups for gaming tournaments (spare consoles and equipment and such).
Funding this is different story in its self but something worth looking into in the future with online marathons going to support future events and NASA as a goal would be nice with more of a focus.
Dedicated or some form of itinerary of onsite or planed activities at the entrance would be nice in the future.
More pre-planned activities for bigger draw and attraction to the event outside going to do a run or meet people would be nice, especially if NASA also helps with making it something that could happen at the event with those that want to do the effort.
Side stream recorded content of side activities at the event in the future would also be something I'm personally interested in as it allows more to be seen between the runs that people may be interested in as more stuff to see or even participate in if at the event
Much of everything I would have mentioned has already been said and that goes for pros and cons. I will say that I personally enjoyed the event much more compared to previous events outside the miscommunication parts of side stuff that was kinda thrown in during the event.
Merch or other stuff on site would be nice as another way to help with costs and such provided communication of the stuff can be done better in the future.
Dedicated Volunteer assistance to help staff on shift rotations in the future to teach and allow more hands on help and learning and growth in general.
Understandable based on the outside influences on legitimacy of tracked runs in terms of accountability to speedrunning. Tho even regular mods should all have the same permissions to maintain boards should a Super go MIA. Also if the Super being MIA is an issue I would suggest replacing them or getting someone else appointed that is more available to maintain the boards.
Back to the subject on topic tho. While I there would be things to deal with for verification it should be relatively easy to filter out real submissions from cheated or other wise illegitimate runs in a competitive fashion. I'd love for there to be more activity with this games boards and I'd more of a reason to participate but there is just not much interesting with this game outside its roots which at this moment is being completely dismissed or ignored, At least that is my opinion and take it how you will.
Perhaps its something to think about down the road or not but I did want to raise my interest in this. I do allot of stuff these days between speedrunning and working with events and or people so I've gotten to experience a good amount of community interaction and have been actively involved and still am in a good number of communities be it runner or mod myself sometimes just a knowledgeable friend to communities.
Anyways hope things get sorted out for you folks. Sorry for my late replay I was busy with and away for a whole week at a Live marathon.
I'm not sure if you guys are ignoring the posts or not but this is a legitimate question in regards to premade team runs on the actual main game modes? Has this even been considered yet since the first post nearly 2 months ago?
