Chadthis run cured my insomnia 🙏
Yes, it's allowed. It's actually the best weapon if you're doing glitchless runs.
Thank you undulationer for your beautiful words, my whole family is touched and we're all contacting Capcom in a minute to show them your ideas.
My goat
I'm sure if you message them on discord they'll help you out.
1- First of all, what is and isn't "fast enough" wasn't a random time put together out of nowhere as you're making it seem. We have enough knowledge and experience in the game to know what the optimal, yet achievable times are for all categories across all platforms, so what we did is simply add 30% to those times.
So why not 29, or 31%? It's completely arbitrary for no reason.
2- The only valid purpose I can see is for database/history/archive/statistics purposes, because otherwise it seems pointless.
That's the whole point of having a leaderboard.
3- There's the people who do the same as the above, but do it on categories with little to no competition so they can get a free "WR" just like that, which we find insulting to our boards and our categories. We would like all our categories to be competitive and optimized to a certain extent.
If you find that insulting then go put a better time on those categories and make it harder to WR.
4- 1) We didn't delete any runs. We REJECTED runs that were slower than the limits we set. Our choice of words was poor there. The difference is, in case you didn't know, rejected runs can be easily verified if need be, deleted runs have to be submitted with all their data from scratch.
They were still runs already verified and that were on the board and now they're not anymore for a rule change made after they were already there. This is just semantics to try to make it seem less worse than it is.
5- A mod either spend hours verifying these runs or they skim through it very quickly as it is a non-competitive time anyway so the chances of the person cheating are near-zero, but at the same time risk missing things like parts of the vod missing, audio missing in some parts, among other hard-to-spot rule-breakers which hurts the integrity of the board, specially when it happens again and again and again as it has.
By your logic (by your I mean the mod team) if those runs are so bad to the point they shouldn't even be on the board, then why does it matter if they aren't 100% following the rules?
This board has 5 mods and 14 active runners at the moment, that means 1 run a day being verified, if that's too much of a workload put more people to verify. And if verifying runs is that much of a bother, then why be a mod? Ain't nobody being forced to be a mod here, people can just leave.
Not to mention the fact that not everybody that has a bad time didn't put any effort, what about people with disabilities? Do they not deserve to have a chance to submit a run to a leaderboard? It's just speedrunning, it shouldn't be this serious.
You know I respect you sawkenn but this rule is terrible.
Yeah, you can instantly skip doors on re3 og on the pc version, but bear in mind that some doors are considered fast doors (where you can insta skip it), and some are considered slow doors, on those doors if you don't wait a little bit to skip them you end up losing time.
You get used to the timing of the slow door skips by playing (would be good to check a few runs too).
There is a fast/slow splits for REbirth on the resources, a good way to learn it.
And yes, removing the doors are not allowed.
Feel free to join the discord and ask questions there too, people are happy to help.
For the main board we have 3 different categories, any%, Knife Only and Nemmy%.
Making it short any% is just finishing the game as fast as possible, Knife Only you can only use the knife obviously, and Nemmy% you need to beat Nemmy on every encounter that he drops an item.
You can read the specific rules for every category by clicking on view rules and check both game and category rules.
To answer your last question, if it's PS then you should submit it to PS under emulator and also provide us with the name of the emulator used.
Also if you check the Category Extensions board there are many other categories to choose there too.
Don't be afraid to ask question on the discord server too, people are usually super helpful over there.
In my opinion it's better to check the code unless your run is already bad.
If you need modded skins to feel motivation to run a game maybe you don't like the game that much in the first place and should try looking for a new one.
You can only skip FMVs on this game, if you mean the regular cutscenes then it ain't allowed and I doubt you could find splits for it. If you do mean just the FMVs you can find the splits and autosplitter on the Resources section.
This is a Leon A tutorial made by Se3cret but he goes in depth about basketball court, really good to understand it.
If you are playing Claire, the only difference is that you don't have to even shoot the zombies, she can just squeeze through on a lot of RNGs, check a few top runs and you'll understand what I'm saying.
You'll be hearing from my lawyers, lads.
