Forum: Speedrunning Thread: Speedruning RPGs - does it make sense? Started by: [Deleted user] (edited: ) |
Technically there's story in Metal Gear, God of War, Devil May Cry, Silent Hill, Resident Evil... We're supposed to stop running those too? Come on ffs... Edit: What about the Ninja Gaiden NES games, they have cutscenes you know........ |

Just looking into your speedrun history, you ran Battle of Olympus, their rules links to https://goo.gl/pYN6AR In your case, you're essentially already aware of the general NES rules, so that's on you if you ask me. But it wouldn't hurt to add it for CV2 as well @BurbBurb Edit: Suddenly uncertain, your issue is with youtube/twitch audio coypright issues, rather than mods supposedly having rejected a subitted run because you yourself didn't include game audio all the way through? |

I'm on this game page https://www.speedrun.com/dmc4se and clicking at any of the tabs the game has: guides, forum, statistics... I get a red screen displaying "The site ahead contains harmful programs Help improve security on the web for everyone by sending URLs of some pages you visit, limited system information, and some page content to Google. Privacy policy". Not getting the same message for any other game so far, dunno what makes this one so special.. Using Google Chrome on Windows 8.1 |

Forum: Speedrunning Thread: Recommended GBA Emulators? Started by: |
Bizhawk with mGBA core. Check the Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission rules, they are the most refined for that emulator. There really is no good alternative, not even mGBA standalone, I did some tests with it recently and its less accurate. You really only have 1 option for GBA emu. |

Forum: Speedrunning Thread: Generally accepted emulators Started by: hahhah42hahhah42 |
Based on what I've seen so far for games I've done... NES: FCEUX/Nestopia/puNES/Mesen That is a very general sense of what works but it will still come down to a game to game case. Starfox outright bans emulation completely for instance. There is no 1 answer really, you just have to ask the people in charge of the game you want to run. |

Forum: Mortal Kombat X Thread: Adding Character variables? Started by: |
Personally I enjoy being able to just look up a leaderboard and see from the various submissions, which characters seems to be most commonly used in the top to get an idea of what can compete well. Without having to look up individual submissions just to check what people run. Example: |
Forum: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Thread: Including Game Audio as main category Started by: |
looking at MK runs, one of the reasons I absolutely will refuse to run certain games or categories is because of this game audio rule. Apparently its faster to speedrun games like MK3/UMK3 SNES by turning off game audio in the options. I do wonder if it was ever discussed among the community at the time, if there was a vote or what word is between runners today. For me personally, its enough to be off-putting to me, this is something that imo should be its own category, put in misc or category extension Taking MK3/UMK3 SNES as an example, this is the only way to run said port as of now, at least MK1 does have No Major Exploits. This has to be a community decision of course, but I want a discussion to be had as seemingly, there never was one? |
Forum: Wizards & Warriors Thread: Submit a run Started by: JslaytJslayt (edited: ) |
There's been instances where runners have had submissions using a camera as capture method. As long as the quality is reasonable enough, its valid. The bigger question is the use of the Retron 5, I have no experience with it and frankly I do not know if its accurate enough for speedrunning. Edit: I did snoop around within the community. From what I gather, the Retron 5 is slower than the NES to begin with. Whilst some communities seems to allow it, that's not a universally accepted rule as a whole. The consensus being that its generally more suited for casual gaming. Since you don't seem to have an actual NES setup and had plans to record by camera in the first place. I would just straight up advice to start out on emulator. You can always make the switch to hardware in the futre once you have it setup. |

Forum: Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance Thread: Konquest Category Started by: RubberDuckyAssassinRubberDuckyAssassin |
Personally I don't believe Konquest makes sense for the sake of speedrunning for this game. It's basically a scripted practice mode that forces you to learn how to execute moves with a fight attached at the end. Even the story mode categories for later installments makes more sense than this. As far as konquest goes, they certainly refined the mode for Deception and Armageddon. If one had to speedrun it, those modes makes more sense than this one. |

Forum: The Site Thread: Report a site bug Started by: ZephilesZephiles |
Not sure if this is known or not but it does annoy me a bit. So yesterday I submitted and got runs verified for Mortal Kombat 2 and 3. At the time of this message, the MK2 run was verified 16h ago whilst the MK3 run was verified 5h ago. Despite this, MK2 is listed as the most recent game I ran on my profile page. Why is this? |
