Nova Scotia, CanadaWHY DOES NO ONE RUN THE TICK? WHAT? .....
that is all. Enjoy your Wednesday. I will submit a run soon 😂
Hello God Slayers!
Firstly, I'd like to mention I will be developing a guide as soon as possible. Things I will cover include...
-What RNG effects -Item descriptions and how to use them in a speed run -Movement tech -Boss Strategy -Routing Strategy -Skills and how to use them -Story lines and how to use them
Item two, you may be wondering why the timer starts when it starts. When initially routing the game, it became apparent that certain party rolls would not be viable in a speedrun. It was frustrating for myself (and the other only runner I am aware of playing at the time) to jog in the overworld for 45-60 seconds only to discover that the composition of your team was not viable.
To combat this, we decided that runs would start from the training cave that is on the spawn beach. This way you can check your roll and see if it is worth using, which saves a significant amount of time. No one will lose time analyzing their party at the first boss gate.
This also allows for the potential of a diverse strategy for runs as you will be able to look for certain traits, storylines, etc.
Pressing Paste is like, real hard.. took 3 tries to paste the right link lol 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Heyo!
I noticed a rule that was kind of pointless and could potentially kill someone's vibe for a submitted run.
The rule in question is about how difficulty selection is required or a run will be disqualified.
The end screen displays the difficulty, so a run that starts on character select shouldn't really matter since the end screen will show the difficulty anyway.
borderline pointless comment but just thought I would throw it out there on the chance someone has a quality run but forgets to show difficulty select.
Anyway, try a slam dunk McFlurry if you get a chance. its like, a flavor explosion that could change your life.
With peace and love, PoloKingDX
Quick, someone with a better eye than me figure out how to make this consistent 😅
Only thing I can spot in both is using a special on the barrel as it’s exploding. Both videos have this in common. What platform are you guys playing on?
Stars already shave a lot of time off my Zan run, if this is repeatable it could have massive impact! Time to get to testing lol
Mash, with all due respect, the first thing you said on this forum were criticism of the board and how we need to change things to fit your perspective of what you think the boards should look like.
The community discussed the categories and set up of the boards for days - why would you feel it reasonable for us to instantly adapt your idea when we had already figured something out? We are all for sharing ideas, but you can’t say we’re uninviting and garbage because we don’t agree with you.
In addition, one community member tested story mode as mentioned above. That is in my humble opinion, the opposite of uninviting and garbage.
We appreciate your ideas, And your suggestions, we just didn’t agree.
I’m not really sure the appeal of wanting story mode to be included beyond that it is easier to complete due to more lives. I would focus on practicing the true game, which is arcade, and hone your skills in that setting! Managing health , specials, food, life’s, etc, are all part of the streets of rage experience and in my opinion a key part of the game!
The reason the leaderboards are split by character, from what I understand, is because each character plays so vastly different that it is much like a different run. This way, everyone gets a specific character leaderboard instead of having to play one or two characters because they are faster. It lets all characters be runnable, and it means characters only have to compete with each other in terms of being the best run for their leaderboard!
Oh I gotcha, totally misunderstood. I’ll blame that it’s late.. lol
Quick question for rules - under game rules there is a bit about runs not being accepted based on platform. Which platforms are having issues that could cause the run to be rejected?
Thanks!
Thanks for the response! You’ll definitely see me on the board in two days, recorded my PB and ready to submit haha
I vote IGT as well. Game tracks it may as well use it! Easier for all I think!
Hello There! (Insert Obi Wan here)
Just had a few questions. Firstly, should we expect to see categories per difficulty/ per character as in other SOR games?
As well, I think it would be great for the community to use discord to communicate! I personally find it not only helpful but downright key in growing and bonding a community!
Looking forward to seeing what times people have put up! Anyone want to share their current PBs? I’ve been running Arcade Easy w/ Zan, and my PB so far is 47:52!
Looking forward to seeing this run continue to evolve!
