sample run of what i'm talking about
Each level in this game has Krusty collectibles, and if you find them all, you unlock Soundstage 3 in Hollywood. You can't unlock it otherwise, and when you beat Eric Von Burns afterwards, you get a scene during the Krusty show where Bart gets to throw pies at Burns and Smithers. Could we make this a category?
Maybe category rules like "Timing is the same as any%, but all collectibles must be collected, Soundstage 3 must be completed, and ending should include Burns and Smithers pie scene (although not included in the timing)
Thoughts?
Take it up with the supermod of the series IMO. The games are radically different in gameplay and shouldn't just be shoehorned as categories. They deserve their own page.
Yeah, the trophy screen is best since it requires the 3rd place to happen anyhow. Pretty elegant way of timing and then it mirrors the Nintendo% category as well
Almost raided you last night, wish I could've seen some of this USC stuff is in action lol
I would say "any%" needs to beat the game. A championship is required. Doesn't need to win EVERY race, or lead EVERY lap. But beating the game and seeing the ending (championship trophy screen) should be required. Nearly every other game, no matter how broken, usually requires this for something to be called "any%"
The loss% can be any season that doesn't win.
The old any% rules just seem to be halfway in the middle and don't actually bother beating the game or breaking anything cool. The any% championship requirement category would make this redundant though.
Without RamenWolfe's video, this becomes impossible to know what's expected. Do you have to win the championship? Or just finish the races? Seems like it should be "Win the championship" but the rules definitely don't clarify that, and there's no way of knowing what the only run did since the video is gone.
Help?
Yeah just an overarching caption of each screen switch:
-Switch to Michael- Grab Key under doormat Open door -Switch to Jeff- Enter House Open door to Kitchen but don't enter walk upstairs to steel door
just something like that would at least outline what in the world I'm watching lol
Honestly whatever is easier for you. Written would probably easier to organize all the bigger tasks, video with commentary would help us visualize the more detailed pieces that flicker by so fast in a run. Any explanatory content is great for me.
The stuff yall been doing lately is nuts. But all the walkthroughs of the game seem like incredibly antiquated or not speedrun specific. If anyone has a recent run, could they kind of just make a running list of what it is they're actually doing piece by piece? I'm sure it's second nature to yall, but the constant screen switching and such just make it hard to actually perceive whats going on.
Thanks!
Runs are now timed from the same starting point, but end on the black screen fade out after the last race. Makes it easier to time closely rather than trying to judge exactly when the car crosses the finish line.
I like the end of race the frame it counts the last letter away, neat idea!
