ArgentinaThe 3-dots icon in the game list doesn't appear for me. Maybe only Super Moderators can add new games? I'm a standard Moderator
I'm moderator of a series (Fist of the North Star) and i was trying to add new games to the series, but i dont find a way to do it. I remember to do it in the past; something changed with the new design of the site?
I played the game for years in my childhood and never discover that xD (well, i didn't had the manual). It's really cool that you find this, it makes the game more agile; nice strat!
Hi; i open this thread just to let you know that we add a new category for all the versions of the game. This new category is called Default, in this category you can play the game with the default settings (damage, rounds, etc); the settings may change according to the differents versions of the game, so look closely the rules.
Well, while i was playing the Career mode No Glitch! category i found this strange error. Like shimegabriel stated in his guide's, if you win the first match with a single knockdown it's supposed that the rest of the matchs you are going to win also with the first knockdown; but in my second match the oponent get up after the first knockdown. Is really hard that this happen, but i thought i should share it so the people is aware that this can happen some times.
I made a new PB for "Any Fight", and i think that was a flawless run, because there isn't any time loss that i can notice. I think that sub 26 is impossible, maybe a TAS can make something like a 0:25:900, you know, with perfect synchronization of the hits, but otherwise i think it would be very hard to achieve.
Yeah, but the problem is: where i must put the line in what is game and what no? i think it's also pointless to wait for the other cinematics to finish; but well, those are skippable, so it can be considered part of the game. Anyway, now i see that you played with real hardware, if you tell me that have no problem in reset your console, then it's fine for me; i feared that some people maybe protest because reset with emulator is more easy.
It's a good question. I think that is better to let the credits finish and wait to the game to return to the title screen, because the other way is hard to say when the stage was clear or not (you could have end the time when the last action is ejecuted, or before the credits, etc); also it can bring some problems to the people that use real hardware (compared to a emulator, where resets are more simple). I think that for the moment it's better this way, maybe in the future, if more people play the game, we can reconsidered it. Btw, congratulation for your first run :D
Hi, i'm moderator of the "Fist of the North Star" series ( https://www.speedrun.com/fotns ). Just in case, "Fist of the North Star" is the localizated name for the japanese franchise "Hokuto no Ken". I want to add this existing game to the serie: https://www.speedrun.com/hokuto_no_ken_-_seikimatsu_kyuseishu_densetsu Thanks.
First of all, thanks for all your work and dedication for this game :) I think that it's fine to divide the game into the diferents ports, because the loading times are diferents in each version. I think that it's fine to put the level leaderboard as default, because there is no point in still have the standard leaderboard. I'm only dont understand how it works the variable "challenge mode" and "story mode" in each character; for example, if i made a better time in "challenge mode" than in "story mode", the time that shows the level leaderboard is the time of "challenge mode"? or shows both? I think those times should be divided, because are different modes.
Hi, i'd like to request moderator status for https://www.speedrun.com/last_battle The admin of the game has been inactive for 1 year and dont have any kind of social media on his profile. The only way to contact him is through his youtube channel, but even there it's been inactive for 10 months.
I'm not a RE 3 runner, but i watch a lot of RE 3 runners and i'm familiarizaded with all this thing of the GLtool, and my question is, why not make a "GLtool" category? that way the Any% would remain intact, and those runners who want to make a more faster run of the game can migrate to the new category. Many people argue that the problem is that the magnum its not a viable option to do a good time in the game, but i think this is due to how the runs where optimized in all this time; before a magnum would be a option, but not now because the runs must be very optimized to get a good time, but the same can be say about others RNG; i think this are the consecuenses of optimizing much the times of the game.
i'm a little new in this site, and i don't undestand the diference between have a full-game leaderboard or a level leaderboard; in this case there would be only one leaderboard for all the story mode runs and the runs for each specific character are going to be in the level leadearboards? if that it's the case i find that its a good idea so that way the main leaderboard it's not a mess :P About the division for arcade/dreamcast/PS3 i dont know, im not aware about the diferences betwen each versión, i think if there are similar in load times the should be put together, but like you say there are diferences in some aspects. Mmm, i think that with the quantity of runs that the game have there is no need to make a different section for each port at the moment, maybe later, if more people run this game.
About the "all characters" category i must to say that the only way to play with the secret characters in the arcade versión is with a code, there is no way to unlock them in play, and on the Dreamcast version the secret characters are unlocked if you complete the "challenge mode" with specific characters; so there is no need to make a NG variable, but i think that the rules of the category must be changed
Thanks for the explication; now i able to make it work (i wasn't able to do it because i was pressing the direction buttons). I'll see if I can do a speedrun now :)
Hí, i was planing to run this game, but i see there is a glitch to jump that help to make the screen move faster. I was trying to perform this jump, but i cant make it work; someone knows exactly how to perform it?
Hi, I'm glad you took the challenge of speedruning this game. Sadly there isn't a community of this game, actually i added this game to the page a days ago. I was doing some test to improve times for potencial runnings, and i was trying to do a guide with tips that could help other people who want to run this game, but my english isn't very good, so it's gonna take me awhile :( . Anyway, any questions you have, ask freely
