California, USAAs with any new category for a game. Do a run and I'll create it. Just because something isn't listed on the leader board yet doesn't mean you can do it.
So it turns out there is a way to differentiate what mission you are on so I have created an IL leaderboard. I've also created two sub categories, one labeled New Game where you start from a fresh save file. The second is NG+, for lack of a better term and could be changed, where the player is allowed to use any and all power ups from the start. Power ups are Luke's green lightsaber, the Force and the Spirit Heart.
Hopefully this will satisfy the single mission runners out there? The order of missions, the planets' maps and other details are randomly generated but the goals and which planet a mission takes place on stays the same each time.
Doing a single mission category isn't really comparable between runners, the mission you get is completely random. While one runner may get Mission A which takes 6min to beat, another runner may get Mission F which takes 10min to beat. Then you just have runners grinding resets for Mission A, which isn't fun for the runner or watcher. As far as I know there is no way to select a specific mission but if there is I would create an IL leaderboard for sure.
As it is, there is a lot of RNG even when it comes to doing Green Saber and The Force categories because again, the missions are random, so you may get the 5 shortest missions or the 5 longest missions. But at least those two categories have very clear end time goals.
Hopefully that helps or makes sense?
Hi, I'm a super mod for the Star Wars Series. Can we get https://www.speedrun.com/star_wars_jedi_knight added to the main Star Wars Series also? https://www.speedrun.com/star_wars_series
Hi, I'm a series super mod for the Star Wars Series. I'd like to request some games types be updated for a couple games in our series. First https://www.speedrun.com/swgoh be added to "Mobile" and second https://www.speedrun.com/lego_star_wars_empire_vs_rebels_2017 be added to "webgame"
Thank you
Hi Limabean06, I'm going to take over Mod duties for this game because DrYoshiyahu is swamped with real life stuff. I'll work on getting an IL board up and some rules since there is no visable in game time when you clear a mission. It may take a few days but feel free to start practicing!
As far as I'm aware there aren't any emulators that accurately run either Rogue Squadron game for the Gamecube. For Rogue Leader we made a rule that any run under 45min required real hardware.
None of us on the leaderboard have done any testing vs emulator and this hasn't come up so I don't want to discourage anyone from trying to run this game but a rule like Rogue Leader's might have to be implemented or a separate category.
We found that the game loaded fast when played on a Wii vs GCN which is why the leaderboard is ranked by In Game Time and not Real Time.
Thank you! That seems to have worked. Not sure how all of the sudden that got checked as default but it seems to be fixed.
I'm a mod for the Star Wars Rogue Squadron leaderboards https://www.speedrun.com/rogue1/full_game and we're having an issue with our IL board. It seems many of the times submitted have gone missing, even from active users and ones with video verification.
Take for example the second mission and under V-wing, there are 14 users tied for the top time, see image https://imgur.com/RokE0rX
When you go to the leaderboard for that mission it looks like this https://imgur.com/ivB2H7s
It has happened with every IL on the board. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or restore the board?
100% would be getting all the bonus and secret objectives in a run, but just because it isn't listed currently doesn't mean you can't do and submit a run. It can always be added.
Cutscenes can't be skipped in any%, which is why I only ran the NG+ Category. It's nice to see people trying the basic Any% though.
Yes, they would go in with the PS2 at the moment. If you can prove a clear difference is hardware function such as loading times are different or there are different glitches I can make a separate category.
I believe there was talk of doing IL leaderboards but not enough people actively run this. You want an Any% w/ All bonus missions category though?
I would say it's in RTA because the first two games are run in RTA but I agree that there are quite a few variances when in comes to versions so I have made the rankings based on In-Game time. This will make things even for everyone.
Hi guys, I started doing a few runs in the Cheat/any%. I've been playing on console and noticed a significant time difference between my load times and the EMU times. I did some testing, there's a 3 second difference before you even gain control of your character at start. There is also roughly a 9 second difference in the loading between levels. The total coming out to around 2 minutes 18 seconds time lost on PS2. Can you please divide the category, and I'll submit my time.
I have a question for Pryde. For an Any% run, why do you include the Revenge of the Sith level, which is an alternate ending. Shouldn't the run end at Friendship in Flames which is when the credits roll? I think you should adjust your time.
@StarFalco64 Please reach out to me on Twitch or Discord. I have some questions/concerns about some of your submitted speedruns for Star Wars games. Not sure how else to contact you.
I am requesting to be a Mod for the Star Wars Rogue Squadron Series. The Mod for RS is good but the Mod for RS2 and RS3 is often MIA. its been three weeks since he's last signed on to Speedrun.com, over a year and a half since he's submitted a run for any game. I've reached out to him on twitch no response. He has been inactive from there for months if not a year or more.
RS3 in particular needs rules assigned and submission info updated, along with a run of mine to approve.
