Hey, fellow speedrunners!
The german speedrun community "Germench" (the official german restream for mayor events like AGDQ, SGDQ, RPG Limit Break etc.) is planning an online tournament for Zelda: A Link to the Past Any% NMG.
There will be two phases: Group phase and elimination phase (as shown in this concept document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ILarLe-sxbHEHCCEyTsRRZ3zEIBInKMOvi3YinKhDr4/edit?usp=sharing ).
The tournament starts in september (near the beginning) and will take at least 10 weeks, depending on how many people will participate.
You can submit here: https://forms.gle/r2LkHeqJ83cxNpkZA Submissions end on August 10.
Remember: Even though it's a german community the event will be international. We're doing german commentaries on our channel, but currently we're thinking about using another channel for english commentary.
For any questions join our community discord ( https://discord.gg/yyRKSx ) and give me a note that you need the torunament role to see/use our international channel there :)
I just rejected the wr run in the C.H.E.A.T. category due to several complains about the video and audio being slightly faster. After double checking both the first and second run I don't see how the wr run could have been faster. If any it should have been slightly slower due to a tiny mistake at tie first level's goal post.
Hi there!
A friend of mine and fellow member of our german speedrun community "Germench" submitted this game for our own speedrun event. Unfortunately and due to personal reasons he couldn't learn the run so far and now time's running out. He's determined to show Shadowrun Returns, but at this points notes would be really helpful. Can someone offer those?
Due to events (including preparations and afterwork for the german restream) it took a while to verify the two latest runs. As mentioned in another thread, verification takes quite some time because I have to analyze the run frame by frame and I simply didn't have that time. Now all runs are done - at least for now :D
Are you planning to have an All Chaos Emeralds category? I've started running ACE more frequently and really like it. I think it would be a nice addition to this board. What is your opinion on this?
Just to let you know: I put every submission in Sony Vegas to get the time. I'm taking the very first frame of the run (hitting a button in the title screen) and the very last one (when the final hit connects). The times you submitted may be different from the time shown on the leaderboard, so now you know why :)
I just noticed that in the world record run (by Gampling Frog) James Pond doesn't jump three times after finishing the first level. Is there any trick to avoid this?
What have I done? Just mentioning this game at the german restream of the AGDQ seemed to be enough to get us a speedrun community for James Pond 2: Robocod. Have fun trying to get new world records!
And KrazyRasmus: Nice find :)
