Hi everyone.

I'm looking for people to help moderating and approving runs. I love to do it, but between both my works I'm not always checking the leaderboard, which resulted in some serious waiting for approval.

The only requisites I ask are:

  • Be able to comunicate in English, doesn't need to be fluent, just enough so we can understand each other.
  • Be a runner of this game, I believe that at least basic knowledge of strats used (mainly the glitches involved) is needed for it.

I love the game and I still feel honored to moderate this leaderboard, but that leads also to respect the players who submit their runs, so I don't want them to wait like 1 month to get a run approved.

Reply to this topic if you're interested!

P.S.: Also, I believe that we need a Discord server, but I do SUCK at managing Discord xD

I noticed that src sometimes don't obsolete runs with the same people in the Multiplayer Category.

For now, I'm deciding to remove the runs with the EXACT same players that get obsolete by a better time.

For runs with some people different, I'm keeping them for now, as I believe it would be better if more teams playing the game would benefit the leaderboard as well, and that would make people not be limited to a single team to beat times.

Another issue: 2p, 3p and 4p now are in the same category. I don't intend to split that unless there is a major difference showing in the routes. For now, the only differences are the skill level of the players and that is fine. Until the game becomes decently optimized with 2p, 3p AND 4p, it will be hard to say which is best, so they will be all together.

I'd love to hear diferent opinions on that. Feel free to share your concerns.

Pessoal, se precisarem de ajuda com algo, só falar. A maioria das coisas estão em inglês, mas eu sou brasileiro e posso ajudar com o que precisarem.

(to non-portuguese speakers: I'm just offering help in Portuguese for those who don't speak English).

Well, now that we have some movement here, I believe that we don't need additional categories. We could delete this one, or create a "Misc." category. What you guys think?

If I get no answers til 01/03, I'll proceed with deleting it.

I'm leaving this here so people can leave their wishes to the leaderboard to improve.

Things I'm considering:

  • The category with the better time keeps the front page of the leaderboard.
  • Can the categories be a diminished amount in some way?
  • Any ideas on ways to make the game more appealing to be run? The dificulty of it seems to be a wall for most people.

So, I've started to consider allowing Arcade Emulation. There are lots of fans to the game that could join us, potentially.

The thing is, there are lots of versions, and I'm aware that only some of them has the Debug Glitch (in which you give Fighter a pretetermined infinite item) and the Invencibility Glitch (by trading Thief's and M.User hats, I believe).

I believe the version that Fightcade accepts (960619 Euro) would be the best one, since Fightcade would allow co-op runs more easy to be played.

I would love to read your thoughts about it.

So, we finally have reached the point we need to decide what to do with the Any No Deaths%, since we no longer have only Uncontested times on a category.

As stated before, that category was made to make me and Rogel play against each other and get motivated, since we do different categories. And to measure the fastest time of the game overall. I want your inputs on what we should do.

Also, I'm thinking in adding new categories. Some form of 100% could be All Dragons (adding Black and Red to the fights on purpose) ? Or the really hard 3-2-30 from the korean videos I saw (+3 million xp, +20k silver under 30 minutes). They even add modifiers to that as 3no (No Items, No Shops, No Spells) or Survivor (No hits taken).

My humble opinion: All Dragons would be cool, but Elf doesn'r require Green Dragon (but will probably fight it because it's faster). But characters are categories for themselves, so we will have M.User All Dragons, Dwarf All Dragons... It's a lot of categories, but it's what is fair for everyone.

I like the 3-2-30, but without the time restriction, since this is a speedrun already. Again, divided by characters. So it would be a "3-2" .

I also like the 3no category.

Or I wouldn't be offering them.

So, please, leave on the comentary what you think, even if you don't run the game yet. Feedback is extremely important to make this wonderful game being more aknowledged. :D
