Englandso recently the old boombox was turned into the bootleg speed coil this offers a new way to speedrun the game and i think it's pretty cool, however i would seriously recommend that we separate out categories for bootleg coil and bootleg speed coil. in order to remain competitive in the category's current state, the player must purchase BOTH coils and be able to switch between them during play effectively to optimise all areas in my opinion (and i also consulted rexy about this) i think it would be best to separate them into two categories, as proper routing is going to be an absolute nightmare with both, without considering the execution needed
Killbrick lag has become rarer and rarer over time. Towers such as ToIE, ToFaF, ToOH (glitchless), ToAT and more are completely unrunnable without this kb lag. The extent of kb lag required also varies greatly. ToAT is a tower that only requires a small amount of kb lag to pass through without stopping, whereas ToFaF kb lag must be extreme in order to make it through the various kb heavy floors without stopping to heal. Is it worth invalidating all world record runs that gain an unfair advantage from kb lag? This will only include runs that would certainly have died had normal kb damage been taken.
I submitted two world records for ToFAST yesterday, one for Glitches and one for Coils. Both were rejected because they did not display the FPS during the run, as noted in Rule 7 for runs. However, this run was rejected by Xerunox, one of the Super Mods, who currently holds both the No Glitches and Coils world records for the tower, and verified his own runs despite not showing the FPS in his gameplay. To ensure fairness I would recommend that moderators uphold their runs to the same standard as regular players, even if that means invalidating their old runs if they do not conform to new rules.
k1ngtempest's ToAST 1:54.140 coils should be readjusted to 1:58.090 (in game timer) as he unfortunately missed the winpad at 2:46 and when he climbed back up normally it warped him instantly
R6 and R15 different categories serve no purpose, as I was mistaken and the game had an update relating to the physics, but it wasn't R15. I have instead split the category into Normal and Double Jump, which allows you to use the Double Jump gamepass. Hopefully we can see some runners try their hand at this game again.
Would the trick Zed uses in Level 4 for the Any% WR be viable for Skipless?
I have not heard anything from Connor, Overworld hasn't spoken in this community for weeks, and Sodyn doesn't do a lot of things. Considering I am the main mod for this game right now, I'd like some people to volunteer and become a standard mod.
My run got rejected because apparently time starts when I move my mouse. What? I didn't move my mouse until I got inside the party room, so would time start on my first movement instead?
Some things such as GV Glitch and CM Glitch are obvious, but I'm not sure exactly what counts as a skip, since I'm a No Skips runner I have to check what's legal for the category and what isn't. I'm currently doing Flower Cup runs without the DKS chasm jumps, and Mushroom Cup runs without the MG Gap jump. It would be very helpful if a moderator could make it clear what tricks I can do in No Skips.
Misc Category called Any% Double Jump 550 and 1000, because there's no way to disable it and I know I'll use it by accident.
Change IL rules to "Start at crossing the green line." rather than first movement.
You should know that the ;xx is counting the frames and not counting milliseconds. You can notice because it goes 29 and then back to 00. To convert 14 frames into milliseconds, we need to know HOW it converts. 1 frame with 30fps timing (the timing shown in the video) is equivalent to 0.033333... seconds. Using this, we know 3 frames is 0.1, and now we know 15 frames is 0.5. We take off a frame and get 0.466666... which now means the proper time for the 20 second run is not 20.14, but 20.466.
I've noticed that a rule is on No Skips Glitchless that you must have video footage. While it's a good suggestion, a video of mine shows somebody using click teleportation to fake Any% times too. From 1/1/2018, users should put video footage of them completing the stage in the time they're submitting to prove they didn't cheat, and also provide any new tricks that can be used. What's your opinion?
Hey there! I'm MaxDragonSoul, and if you've done speedruns of Speed Run 4 you may have heard of me. I am a former world champion in that game. To start off I want to ask a few questions about how this has been set up. There is both Time and IGT as options. I'm not sure why this is a thing but I can understand that if you lag and don't go through the portal instantly, there can be compensation. I'm also intrigued by the Multiplayer category and the amount of players within a run submission. I don't believe the amount of players in a submission is important, as collision detection and interaction between players in a game are both not present. The Multiplayer sounds like a fun thing to run, but I fail to understand how it is a category; you can't interact within the run with others. With regards to the main categories and beating X amount of levels, it should be recorded as an addition of IGT, as AFK people can affect the real time equivalent without the use of a private server. Finally, I'd like to question the list of levels. If there is any reason for it to be in that order, so be it, but otherwise it should be in the order that you look at them in the menu. I have a few skips/glitches to put forward, the first being a well known skip in Skyscrapers, where you jump from the right of the orange platform to a lower portion of the stage. Another is in Heights. By angling your jump on the second trampoline in the run, you can skip the final climb and land on the end platform. In Tropical Dash you can jump once on the death plane if you're lucky and skip most of the annoying left to right platform arrangement. I have not successfully performed this. The last is in Pastel Valley that I haven't even pulled off yet. By performing another death plane jump, you can land not near the hill, but by the watermill to the right. I did this once and attempted to get to the rock, but an invisible wall of sorts stopped me. I'm sure it can be bypassed. To end off, I'd like to submit a mod request. As an experienced runner on Speed Run 4, I have translated my skillset from that game and implemented it here to achieve some incredible times, and as a max level player always on the daily leaderboard, I'd be a good mod for this game. Another thing to note is that I'm VERY active on this site, checking it multiple times a day, and I would be glad to check and verify any runs that need doing so. My final point is that I'd like to help my friend, Anando01, be recognised in this community. Either from parental guidance or simple choice, Anando01 is not making a sr.com account, and he has some legendary runs such as his 23.3 Swamp and 32.7 Tomb that he wishes to be recognised here. I feel I could help people like Anando01 and submit their runs here, and give them recognition for their outstanding achievements. So that's it really. I've had some questions, suggestions, and a mod request all in this post. Now I'm certainly not expecting the mod request to be accepted seeing as there are a few active mods right now, but it's more of a way of saying I'm up for the job when needed. Thanks for reading.
So it seems although my IGT for my run was a 5:58, Dani's 5:59 was faster in real time. Should we switch to IGT, because WiiUVC users have over a minute advantage on 32 tracks, which seems unfair to me.
"I can't tell whether this run is R6 or R15. If you read my description it's the exact same run I did around two months ago with R6.
Some world records such as mine and Albert's older runs should be retimed if you have the spare time. Perhaps Soul or Red can do this, or perhaps appoint a mod to someone who is willing.
