United StatesWas just discussing this on stream last night - I've observed this behavior as well, particularly when I was on the Fireseal grind, but I haven't been able to reliably reproduce it on demand. This could be huge for improving the consistency of runs on Saturn. In your observations so far NewSchoolBoxer, does it seem to be timing-dependent, or is there some other factor(s) you've noticed?
Love the idea of a community Discord. Forums are great for sharing findings and research, but Discord is better for casual chatting. If the hacking Discord is ok with having a speedrunning channel or something for us, that works for me
Health value becoming 0 seems like a good visual cue. I'm also ok with NewSchoolBoxer's proposal. I have no strong feelings on this one, I'm happy to go along with whatever gets agreed upon. I don't want a timing method to give an unfair edge, especially in Fireseal where 1-2 seconds can make the difference for WR. I didn't realize my timing was that inconsistent with other runners, apologies for that!
Sorry, didn't realize that editing the description would make it have to go through verification again. My bad!
Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere, still relatively new to the scene here.
Is it kosher to submit the same run for multiple categories as long as it meets all the requirements for each? E.g. submitting the same run for any% + Priestess, or any% + Sun/Moon.
Thanks!
Relatively new to the scene, so I don't yet have strong feelings on this in regards to any%/100%, but I did notice that the rules for Sarjem Island - Justice Ending have the timer start when selecting "New Game". I think it would make more sense to have the timer start at name entry for that category to match the rules for Fireseal runs. Otherwise a big part of the time for that comes down to how quickly one can enter サージェム.
Thanks for the quick review! Also I'm kinda honored to hear from you, I watched your runs a lot to help prep for this haha. I actually just improved on my time fairly significantly a few moments ago, currently uploading that run to YT
