Kentucky, USAHello all.
I was wondering if a full game category could be added to speedrun the Ranger mode. Thank you!
I am running on a modded Wii loading up via USB with Nintendont btw for reference. I saw the forum post saying that everything was retimed to remove load times, but the times on display do not reflect that change best I can tell, so I was just curious. Thanks!
Would I submit such a run as GCN (Emu)? I don't really run on anything modded ever so I also want to confirm that, sorry for all the questions!
Hello. I am learning this speedrun and I notice that there is a major time difference between PS2, Gamecube and if you play Gamecube on a Wii. I wanted to ask about how this has been dealt with before or if it has, and if not, would a leaderboard splitting the various consoles be in order? Thanks!
Hey guys. You should join the Nightmare Creatures discord server!
I have started running on N64. Basically, the oob clips do work but they aren't quite as reliable. There are less load times, but some fight properties seem a little bit different.
Hey everybody. I remember a time in roughly 2014-2015 where a lot of people suddenly got into this game and grinded it pretty heavily. Upon doing some digging, the runner featured at SGDQ 2015 isn't even on the leaderboard (unless they were banned or have a different username I am unaware of).
Is a lot of the history surrounding this game lost in time? Am I incorrect in the amount of traction the game got back in that time period? Is this a Mandela effect situation?
As an outsider coming in, I have to agree that having a mode that allows debug is very silly. At the very least, it should not be the default category by any means.
Names more like Any% and Any% Debug make more sense. Furthermore, this would allow other debug features to be used too, as not allowing them makes no sense honestly.
Hey all. Some questions regarding rules and things I've noticed.
First, the current Emu WR is listed as a 13:14, but the run ends with a 13:24, is this a mistake or is there some sort of timing discrepancy I am unaware of?
Second, the leaderboard allows for Wii Homebrew, does that include mGBA? Just wanted to clarify. Much thanks!
Booming indeed GetLow. I'm the new WR holder for every category in this game. I've been speedrunning for 10 years now.
Hey there. I submitted a run yesterday and I plan to submit more, but I specifically wanted to ask if we could get the Japanese region of the game added to the "Region Selection" metric when submitting runs. I have discovered that the JP version has some time saves and I plan to switch over at some point soon to that version, but as it currently stands I can only select US/NTSC region. Thanks!
Not a runner of Resident Evil 4, but I've been speedrunning in general since 2012 and have started many leaderboards myself.
Just wanted to chime in and say if I decided to try out running Resident Evil 4 right now and saw the "time limit" rule, I would change my mind and not even bother.
The point of any speed game community beyond the growth of understanding of the game, is the growth of the community and bringing in new runners and competitors of ALL levels. A rule like this is a deterrent for anybody wanting to get involved, let alone runners with disabilities that can't achieve the BS "par time" you've set.
Hello all.
I have discovered a new route for 100% that saves time, but more importantly the route forgoes having to watch the end cutscenes.
As such, a rule change will be implemented for the category in the coming days.
Time will end when the final boss is defeated, much like any%. All 64 gadgets (there are 67 in total, but three come from the final cutscenes) must be collected before fighting the final boss. As such, all runs will be REQUIRED to record until getting back to file select, to show that all 67 gadgets were collected for verification purposes.
@bradenexplosion That's a great question man. Yes it does! Ring Outs refers to both of those things.
Are there any tutorials of the newest route used for Any% unrestricted (specifically the Moon warp during first cycle etc)? I wanted to run the game a bit back, but was ultimately turned off due to the length (yes 20+ minutes is too long for me personally lol). Now that the category is even shorter, I wanna give it a shot. Thanks!
