While I'm not sure, I'd have to guess it has something to do with how both platforms handle frames. For me personally, I've found YouTube uploads are easier to work with than twitch highlights or vods, but that would make sense since YouTube is for hosting Videos and twitch is geared towards livestreaming

I know the counselors will move around on a timer (maybe 90 seconds or something like that?) but how they move is a mystery to me. It would be simple if everybody just shifted one cabin over or something, but when I'm doing hitless runs with cabin only counselors, which involves a lot of waiting, everybody will be moving to the opposite side of the map that Jason is on, and when he gets back to that part, they've moved back over to the other side again. It's ridiculous!

I'm not sure about that one in particular, for Low% I just kill everybody but Mark and Crissy and then so into hitless mode (or at least try to)

GG, that was a great run to come back to! You should be piling up Any% PBs pretty quick, assuming RNG isn't being a total jerk!

From what I recall, Rossy checked this and the knife spawn was pure RNG. I may be wrong on that though

He can take damage when he’s running, it’s just really hard to time with the torch unless you’re using Crissy. I usually listen for and count up the times it makes the damage sound, that way I know whether or not I have to try forcing a 3 cycle.

Hopefully that helps take a chunk off your times!

That's a good question, and the answer is at the link below! As of this post it's priced at $15.00 Canadian.

That's awesome! I think PGH has an arcade cabinet that has Friday on it, but I could be wrong about that.

From what I've been able to find for Low%, the optimal seed is thankfully common, so the resets aren't as bad as Any% or Pamela Powerups, which is nice!

Once again a HUGE thank you to @Rossy__ for all the hard work on this. This update is a big one! More notes can be found in the resources section, along with the update.

A few changes as far as Race% goes with this update. We will now be using the in game timer for the Race% leaderboard. All times have been converted on the leaderboard already (the IGT is around 4.683-4.883 seconds faster depending on load times, if my understanding is correct. If not please correct me Rossy!)

Runs will still be accepted under the older versions, but the new version is there and ready to go if you're like me and very excited about not having to keep track of your own times anymore.

Happy slashing!

The getting used to resetting right after you know Jason's dead takes some getting used to. On the first 3 pack we did Friday I was still sitting there halfway through the end screen before I remembered to reset!

I can't speak for anyone else, but my personal thought on the matter there is that since you had two mods racing with you that can cross reference the commentary if necessary, the full emulator window wouldn't be needed and you could just list whatever emulator and version you were using in the comments. You've submitted runs before and I'm assuming you use the same emulator for races that you do for solo runs as well.

We are now on racetime.gg ( https://racetime.gg/friday13 ) thanks to PGH! A group of us have been doing races there Friday nights and we're hoping it becomes at least a semi-regular thing. If anyone is interested in joining us or spectating just hop on the Discord.

United StatesZeroThe14th2 years ago

Thanks for setting that up for us!

Thank you so much Rossy! I did about 2 hours worth of runs with the romhack and time flies when you're not doing 80+ resets between attempts. Now we can just kick back and enjoy the game!

Either one is fine. 1.2.0 was a fix for some flash carts moving the RNG around and not giving the right seed. As long as you’re getting the right seed, it’s all good.

We have a new category called Race% (huge thank you to @Rossy__ for making the romhack!)

The category is simple, it takes out the resets and only gives you the good seed (similar to how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has a hack that always gives you the right RNG). It makes a few minor changes in the credits screen and the health bar to make it easy to see what version is being played and the core gameplay remains the same. It can be found in the resources section.

The Day 2 and 3 save states have been updated in the resources section and are now for the good seed Day 2, and good seed Day 3 after a 3 cycle Day 2 fight.

When I checked the timestamps for the savestates, I remembered that I made about 30 copies of the good seed just in case, since it took me so many hours to actually get the right seed and I didn't want to do that again. All I did was upload the character select screen with the good seed on Day 1 three different times.

Sorry for the mixup there, it should all be good for Days 2 and 3 now if they're redownloaded.

No worries! Let me know what you find out, and I can adjust the save states accordingly, assuming I don't get the chance to check them myself before then.

Awesome! I was worried I used a four cycle day 2 to get the Day 3 state, or worse, the four cycle woods Day 2. I should have posted those months ago but I kept forgetting.

I did have states on iCloud, so I uploaded them (I think). The states are older so I’m only 90% sure they’re the right ones, so if any of them are wrong please let me know and I’ll correct them when I can get back downstairs and check them on my N8 Pro. I don’t know if Day 3 was after a 3 or a 4 cycle since these were the first states I made, but I know I have a 3 cycle on there somewhere that I can drop in.
