Arizona, USARace will be tomorrow at 2 pm PST, i'll have the SRL room open around 1:30 pm
We'll probably use SRL since I doubt everyone will be together on discord
You guys can argue all you want about if you want amiibos or not to be included, but the fact is, this leaderboard doesn't dictate how you can run the game. Even if amiibos are made a separate category, people are still going to use them in runs and have a faster time than non-amiibo runs. Someone looking for the fastest completion of this game isn't going to care about arbitrary restrictions, they are just going to look for the lowest time and that means amiibo runs.
Many speed communities do weekly races for fun and also have the added benefit of bringing new people to their game. We've done plenty random races before, but would people be interested in doing a bi-weekly race on the weekends? We can alternate between NG and NG+ so that everyone is included, and possibly make it weekly if they become popular enough. We also have the benefit of RE4Central if this does become a reoccurring thing as a main hub for people to watch.
What day/time works best for people? If there's enough interest (aka 3+ people), I would want to do a NG+ race this Sunday afternoon, but I would like to hear your guys thoughts first.
There's really no reason to add meme categories as a lot of runners already do similar challenge runs since we can't play the game casually anymore. I've done minethrower only many times, but I do it because it's fun and not because I want to have the fastest time. If there's enough people that partake in an arbitrary category and there's enough competition, then we'll consider adding it to the leaderboard (i.e No Merchant was added pretty recently to the leaderboard, but started as a silly category that only one person was doing)
Actually, I took another look at your specs. Contrary to Morse, I think your specs are very out of date (your CPU is 9 years old lol). RE4 is very poorly optimized on steam and does need somewhat current hardware in order to run 60 fps well. You're not the only one that's run into this issue, I played 30 fps for a very long time until I upgraded my computer and could do 60 fps without the game constantly slowing down.
Try streaming in 30 fps while playing the game still in 60
Glitchless would essentially just be no ditman, which would barely take away/add anything to the run
Minethrower only is the only challenge run people need
yo babs!
you might need to clear the game once, but you can use the link below to download the cheat program to create your inventory instead of having to grind it out again

Separating by HD and SD looks way better than I expected, good job!
This stops now. You guys are fine to criticize/critique the boards all you want, but it's not an excuse to shit post/insult others.
There's a disturbing lack of sub pixels in that video
Main: No S+Q, 100%, Any% Misc: everything else
I mostly want to comment on including no s+q on main and moving s+q to misc. When I first wanted to learn the game, coming to the leaderboard and seeing both of those categories confused me a bit since they are almost the same exact thing from the perspective of someone who didn't know the game. I ended up picking no s+q simply because I was more interested in POP, which turned out to be the right choice with how active it is. Considering S+Q doesn't see as much activity as No S+Q, I would really push to move it to misc so newcomers can clearly see what are the active/competitive categories.
Super mods are unable to edit other super mods as all those boxes are greyed out for me, hence our dilemma.
