United StatesI think we either need to switch New Game runs to IGT or make a change to the rules for Tactical and Non-Tactical resets.
"It's considered a non-tactical reset when you:
- reset to prevent time-loss from dying
- reset when you don't get a quick kill, or make a mistake on a boss (Wesker, Jill, Irvin, etc.)"
These rules both make a lot of sense in a run timed by IGT because using a checkpoint reset takes the timer back to when the checkpoint was made. However, we use RTA in New Game runs, so neither of the rules make sense if you're trying to get the fastest time possible.
Personally I think we should make the switch for New Game to become IGT. Pretty much the only positive thing RTA has is that the timer counts the Menuing but that means we can't compare PC and console because of load times.
About to start practicing to get back into running the Gamecube NTSC version again. I remember there being a video showing a semi reliable way of performing the skip-skip but I can't find anything.
The video in the guide section is missing.
I've been trying to find it again and I can't find it anywhere on Youtube. I think Auddy made it but not 100% sure.
If I fail the Ep 6 Oob is it be ok to checkpoint reset or would that end up going against the Single Segment rule?
Hey I'm starting to learn some of things about running RE5 on the PC and am thinking about starting with the New Game Solo category.
I found this guide for learning New Game Normal and thought I should ask which parts of the run would be different between Normal and Amateur.
I only have the NTSC version and was wondering what are the differences between the versions?
I was looking over the Rank Analysis again and noticed that it mentions that fighting Mendez resets the rank along with a couple of other bosses. So all the damage we take on the lift only effects the Mendez fight, right?
There's a discussion over RE5 about their leaderboards and this example from another mk64 came up. http://www.speedrun.com/mk64 Is it possible we could get subcategories like this to separate all the consoles or are there too many for this to be a realistic option?
So what are all the different ways to do the lazer skip? I usually just open the inventory and switch to the striker with an audio cue but I heard about a faster way. Morse66 has this inventoryless way to do the skip but I have to switch to the striker eventually anyway so I don't know if this really saves much.
Hi I wanted to start learning how to speedrun this game and have been trying to get the japanese 1.2 Wad to work on my Wii.
I have been trying to follow this guide on zeldaspeedruns. http://forums.zeldaspeedruns.com/index.php?topic=1271.0
I have Priiloader installed but the multi-mod manager is unable to access it. Also is there a good website that has Wads? The wad I have isn't working with Multi-mod manager, it just keeps saying that it did not complete when I try to install it.
I'm using Multi-Mod Manager v13.4, Priiloader v0.8.1, and got the wad I'm trying to use from here. http://forums.zeldaspeedruns.com/index.php?topic=1271.0
It mentions something about getting the wads to 100% but the program from the website doesn't work on a mac. So are there any wads out there that are already 100%?
