United StatesAny% = any %, which includes 100% if it's faster, so why is there a slower any% run that's more recent than the 100% run? Shouldn't the faster 100% be on the Any% board as well? Usually the only reason to make the distinction is when 100% is slower.
Noticed this game entry, and tried to reach out to ri.aedan on discord, but haven't heard back. Anyway, I think it makes more sense to bundle the DOS version of the game with the Amiga more than the Genesis, so I made the other page purely Genesis.
Moderation isn't voluntary when you want to submit a time for a new game.
@TurnipWaa Constant progress will only get you so far, instead aim for constant practice. There'll be times where you don't PB for weeks, months, years, but if you're still enjoying the process, stick with it and you'll get better.
How about this, if you see a 1st place record that's clearly not optimized, then do your own run? A checkmark can be checked as easily as any run can get 1st on an empty board. A checkmark doesn't check for new records after it's been given. All a checkmark will say is that the mod(s) believe the 1st place time is the fastest, which really doesn't add much to a leaderbaord. If you aren't already looking at the rest of the Internet for the fastest time (if that's what you're into), then you have some serious tunnel vision.
This is a nice collection of times, but it isn't the end all be all of leaderboard or speedrun communities. Such a place will never exist.
Just start with your favorite track in MKWii if that's the game you're interested in. Make a few attempts, watch your attempts to see where you can improve, practice those parts until they're consistent, and then run the track again. Don't worry about restarting a run over little mistakes until that's all there is in your runs. Consistent practice is the key to great times.
There are a LOT of games that don't have runs, it's not that surprising.
Not natively. You might want to look into something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Audio_Cable although I'm not sure that does what you're suggesting.
By default, OBS picks up the output of your desktop audio, so anything that outputs to desktop is heard in the OBS capture. VAC should be able to create a new output device that OBS listens to, and you can pick and choose what audio is sent down that virtual cable.
Good luck.
Your options, In no particular order:
Contact the mod(s) for the game, and ask for an update. If the mods haven't logged in for more than 3 weeks, request mod status for yourself. Wait.
Honest question, why does it matter how long it takes to get a run displayed on the leaderboard?
Same game has two entries, the first is the only one with runs:
https://www.speedrun.com/mcv/gamestats https://www.speedrun.com/MetroCubeVania/gamestats
Supposing you're talking about submitting a run to this site, it depends on the game's community. Best to ask on that game's forum.
The game page was created less than a week ago, and the person that requested it hasn't logged on in nearly 2 weeks. They have a discord linked to their account, so I'd suggest contacting them on there.
Can you give more details for what categories are applicable? What category would the current run fall under? The mod hasn't logged into the site for over three weeks, so maybe message them on Twitter or something.
Playing a DS game on a 3DS isn't considered emulation. Just note it somewhere in the description that you played on a 3DS in case there are differences in load times.
Welcome.
It depends on what approach to speedrunning you're interested in. First take a look at the games you have and ask which ones you're willing to play through 50 -100 times through to completion. Play one through, take notes on what steps you need to accomplish to beat the game, and find out if you can optimize the path between each step. Try to skip steps along the way to see what happens. That's the routing of a speedrun. If you don't really enjoy that part you can find games with existing runs, and use the same route to improve the time. Either way, that's the next phase, getting practice doing the route. Little by little (or a lot in the beginning), you'll get faster times. Congratulations, you're doing speedruns.
After that you might look into how to record your runs and submit videos here.
Good luck, have fun.
Rejecting a run for being too good implies you think it's cheated. Why else would you reject it?
Many people who had runs rejected never came back. <-- look, I can do it too.
The example given at the start of the thread. While not a new player to the game, I read it as a new player to the SRC board. Maybe that's not the case.
