There's so many categories already, we might as well right? ;D
We've got 3 completed 0 snags runs. What do we have to do to get this on the leaderboards D:
Ho-oh% is very different, does not require the colosseum battles in battle mode and requires a lot of story stuff, so this wouldn't be Ho-oh%. I'm not sure how we'd go about making a ruleset for this, but I can't imagine manipulated pokes being allowed in a speedrun. I don't really know how we can make a fair ruleset when renting pokemon isn't an option in Colo
Eyyy Ryddyx, I decided to do a 100% run kind of as a one time thing on stream, and now GenoKirby is looking at making a more complete route, Golderzoa tried it, I'm probably gonna try it again and Alanpikachu has expressed interest in maybe doing it. Think we could add a leaderboard on the psr forums for that as well just to have in case people use it?
Rules we were discussing for it would be to snag and purify all pokemon, complete all colosseum challenges, defeat Mirakle B, beat Mt Battle on Story mode and then beat Mt Battle in the Battle Mode as well.
I've never posted on the PSR forums, can someone else set that up? I think that we could probably get both categories in if we have several people submit runs in both. Even if it's just misc. categories, kinda hard for them to argue with if we have a bunch of people doing the runs.
As I mentioned a couple times, Golderzoa's developed a rough route for no snags. He's still working on optimizing it, and come mid September I'll have more time to look helping him out as well. If he doesn't have time to write it up by then, I'll look to write up a full gulde for you guys to use if you'd like.
So, I wrote the mods on Discord (3 replies) and here's basically what they had to say:
LBlueEagle: I doubt 0 snags will be put up but all snags might be Keizaron: We need concrete rules first and some runs to prove it can be competitive. Best bet for now is to make a leaderboard on PSR forums, and if people participate that proves it's a viable category. No snags might not be worth adding, all snags would be a good misc. category Punyuta: All snags seems interesting even though it's hard to route/run, thinks it's worth a new category. No word on 0 snags
So, I guess we could set up a PSR leaderboard. I think it's unfortunate that they seem more against 0 snags, since that's the one that golderzoa's basically got a rough route for now (and there doesn't seem to be actual notes for all snags yet). Much more likely for less popular categories like this to be run by others if existing notes are already around.
Has anybody been working on All Snags routing? I know a while ago LBlueEague was doing it but I'm not sure if he ever finished it.
Regarding 0 snags, Golderzoa has pretty much finished it afaik and I'll be starting some runs on that once I get my hands on the notes. I'll write the mods and hopefully we can get those categories up and running. I think that, as already mentioned a while ago in here, more people would be motivated to do runs for the categories once they are listed.
