Illinois, USAHey so I don't know much about this game but I did just get my code for the switch version, it says HD in the title but I'm pretty sure it is the same as the PC version, is anyone else more knowledgeable about this? There's also a PS4 and Xbox One version being out soonish.
https://discord.gg/NBsjzp9 Try this link, both links worked for me but my guess is maybe the links have to be accessed on a computer or something. If you have any questions add me (Ninpalk#7408) and if I don't know the answer I'll message the head of the marathon. I'm not the highest in ranks here but I wanted to make sure this got responded to.
I think "Most of the stuff" could be renamed to Max%, but that could just be me, I think it should more so be based on the community vote.
A glitchless world peace is basically all story moons, which is already a category.
I think the main reason we don't use nidoran is because by the time he would get a good moveset we'd already switch. After a bit we skip gyms 3-6 to get the fossil and go to get kabutops/starmie because they are close to level 45, which around that point eevee would probably be like level 30.
As for categories, it isn't really ideal to add them if nobody's done one yet. That being said: Sue ending is "Normal Ending" Kazuma ending is "Bad Ending" Curly ending is "Best Ending" Also, the reason boss attack isn't on the main board is because it is a level, so more fitting for a level leaderboard.
Discord: https://discord.gg/ksNyRY9 Which platform are you playing Cave Story on? If it is the free version, please direct to https://www.speedrun.com/cave_story . If you are on switch or steam, there isn't as many runners running those versions, but some tricks are still in it. The most notable trick is "Chaco Skip" in bushlands. Use this video with annotations as guidance, however if you are playing on cave story+ you'll need the map system, check world record for more guidance.
I'd be willing to do so KLM, but honestly you guys ARE being pretty stubborn about this site so I doubt you even want this LB to have activity.
If I do a run of race file any%, will it be added?
It honestly isn't that hard to moderate a leaderboard when you are already moderating an inferior site's leaderboard. How long until somebody finally puts these categories up?
I would agree, but it is a 8+ hour category, I think if anything, have a filter for it.
In case you're wondering what I mean, you can give up on a challenge 3 times in challenge road multiple times and advance, rumble minigames you can skip immediately, but the end-of-the-world challenges still are required, here's a video of the aftermath of me skipping pretty much everything in challenge road
All Gems would be 100% aside from buying stuff with points, so I think that'd be a good category, but it'd probably be like 10 hours long (8 hours for partner/mario party, 1 1/2 for sound/river, 1 for challenge road (You can literally skip all but 6 challenges in challenge road and still get the gem).
So...so far:
River Survival Any%: "Timing starts on Pressing A on choosing the raft side, Timing ends on Goal"
Partner Party All Boards: "Play and win all boards, Timing starts on '10 turns' timing ends when you are crowned super stars in the final map"
'Mario Party' All Boards: "Play and win all boards, Timing starts on '10 turns' or more if you do that for some reason, timing ends when you are crowned super star in the final map"
Challenge Road: (Subcategory for skipping [meme]) Time starts on start button in challenge road, time ends on "congratulations!"
All Gems: (Challenge Road, subcategory for no skipping) Time starts when you boot up the game from a fresh file, time ends when you initiate the final gem cutscene. (Win all 4 Partner/Mario Party boards, Do all sound stage difficulties, do challenge road (sub category for no skipping, I tested and you can skip all but 6 minigames, it'd help since it is a long category but that is up to preference) and complete all paths of river survival.
Does that sound reasonable? Sub categories for difficulties, maybe filters for river multiple people/all gems multiple people. (No filter for boards because you need to come in first place, and challenge road is single player)
So I'm definitely considering running this game after I just finished my first playthrough on casual, but that makes me wonder...will there be sub-categories for any% seperating difficulties? For example, newcomer would be quite faster because you could damage boost a lot of things.
Putting this to question interest. Basically any% but with required amount of moons in each kingdom, but post-game...meaning: You'd need to get a counter of: skip cap 5 Moons in cascade 16 in Sand 8 in Lake 16 in Wooded skip cloud 10 in Lost 20 in Metro 10 in Snow 10 in Seaside 18 in Luncheon 3 in Ruined 8 in Bowser's Just defeating Bowser/Escape painting in moon ... You'd be able to use checkpoints, however, shop moons are banned because of coins and duping, moons must not be collected before the start, or somewhat progressed such as the seed moons, and overall would cause a counter in the moons, allowing for moon crate moons, making it much shorter, and making areas like ruined super short. Basically the idea would be have a slow any% file before, so you can get all the fast moons. Kind of a random idea I thought of, just wondering who would be interested in this sort of thing. The moons would be not collected already to make it easier to track the number of moons in the kingdom, and it can be any moons you have not collected yet in the kingdom in a finished game file. Thoughts?
I'm more so confused on what the rule-set you are thinking of is. A category is partially defined by a ruleset. Any% is beat the game as fast as possible, any% w/ flight is that but having to get flight. I'm just kind of confused on what the ruleset you are stating here. You could always just find a route of your own and submit to any%, it doesn't have to be separated per say.
EWW cutscene clip isn't possible on switch, and the clip they use for hub 2 any% is unlikely to work on console without pause clipping. Pause clipping is pretty important for any%, but you're free to run however you'd like.
Is funky kong going to be accessible as a sub category? I know he is essentially "easy mode"...but he also has a lot more movement options to make the game faster.
