I don't really know why they ban it either, but we can't do anything about that. The point is they do, so always get the green light before doing it.

About NTR, always ask whether its OK to use first. Some 3DS games don't accept it.

You can get a decent hdmi cap card for under £100.

Seriously, recording a screen with a webcam is fine for proof. Often games will allow your times without proof, unless it's a very good time. Proof is always preferred, however.

Just looked at the game, it seems that you just start the timer the moment you start running. This shouldn't be too hard to do. If you are REALLY far off starting/stopping the timer, then you can retime the run afterwards. But, looking at things, just hit the start button the moment you pass the start line, and you're all goom

WiiU is relatively easy to capture, all you need is a HDMI capture card.

3DS is awful, yeh capture cards for it are far too much.

You could just record the screen of the 3ds/ wiiU. Ive done this with 3ds before to varying levels of success. But yeh, recording isn't very bad an issue if you can record on wiiU

What game? Be more specific! For a lot of games you just press start on the timer and start the game at the same time. Autosplitters do exist for some games but not many.

Also, welcome :)

1.) Video proof > no proof 100% of time.

2.) With games on console this is hard as capture tools are often expensive or hard to set up. This is why you occasionally have proof boundaries.

If capture is free and easy to setup, like it is on web/mobile games, then capture should be mandatory. Any idiot can screen record.

TAS is emulator only. God knows how you and your friends made them.

Non Monsieur. Mobile and PC are cheap and easy to record. Video proof should be mandatory in ALL runs for this game.

You can right click and bring up the 'compare against' menu, u can compare against personal best, average, sum of best.

I'm not really sure what u mean with the second question. Obviously you stream on your channel. Could you maybe rephrase it please?

https://www.speedrun.com/user/Jarhead_71 Not a bot, but this dude was banned a while ago and just came back, same name etc, some games even transferred runs over.

Surely that's not allowed?

Request it in the 'request a game' section. I don't see it anywhere, I could be wrong though.

Yes. Run away from your problems, people. Never stand by your opinions. That'll get you far in life.

Ok. To make this better, I very much suggest adding super jumps in. The overworld movement here is irrelevant for a boss rush.

I don't like this category at all. But I don't like a lot of thing. I think that if you add super jumping it would make this category viable

Tfw you watch one Apollo Legend video and now you're a speedrun revolutionary :/

I second everything said above, GDQ isn't awful. Don't watch it if you don't like it. Instead watch one of the other many marathons around. Iirc there's literally a thread on this site for advertising ur own marathons.

What you could do is capitalise the l and say it stands for something.

mohidaL - the L is for latitude.

Latitude is pretty cool. Better than longitude anyway imo.

I think if u contact an admin and ask nicely they can change ur name. They might not though, and this is fair, as they might not want to give you special privelages over everyone else/might want to make you learn your lesson.

Why are u asking Freddy? Freddy is the one saying that world records need proof. So if ur trying to mock him with that, then it hasn't worked, and now u look like a fool

Also, side note, don't @ people in a thread completely unrelated to them. It's a real dick move.
