QuébecI never try the FDS version yet, but I think beside the loading time, there is no difference between the two versions, I need to check to be sure. That's probably why they added the load time on the board. If that's the case I don't think it is matter that much.
It is for people who play the FDS version, since there are loading between world.
Hello there!
As you noticed there is a lot of activity recently toward this game especially from the Quebec speedrunning community. The reason why it is happening, this is because there is a big tournament organised by BenshowSly where he chooses this game for our community, this tournament will last all spring and even until early summer. If you are interested or curious to see, you can watch the races from here: https://www.twitch.tv/benshowsly (Commentary is french)
Right now, we are 40 peoples who participate on this event so many submissions will come along during this time. I know some of you may be too busy to verify all these runs but I suggest that you're looking for a new mod or just a verifier that can be active for this moment, assure leaderboard integrity and has a good knowledge of the game.
Some of my community wants me to become a mod since I have really good game knowledge and tons of experience about speedrunning in general. But I will let you decide about this matter, no rush :p
Cheers!
I agree with @AriesFireTiger I think it's fair that High Score w/ DIP switches should be a misc category to respect the original timer competition.
Pretty much like this. Timing begins when the "400" appears on the timer. -Timing ends the 1st frame "50" appears in the coin count. Now, this is really clear and understandable!
For Rad racer, I thought about the first frame where the car starts to move (when km/h is above 0) and ends on screen transition after the race (when the screen turn grey). For sure, SDA timing works great for these categories.
Cool! Thank you @runaway4444 to take your time to listen and reply to our concern about this matter. This is a very good step forward you guy did and I look forward for all the changes. And yeah, I also agree that @ShesChardcore become a mod. She runs and represent ton of games. Her experience will help a lot.
Sorry for the late discussion but here's my thought about this:
I think category for individual game like SMB (50coins) and Rad Racer (complete the track) could be really interesting for the leaderboard since the main strategy to get the best score is to speedrun those games to start getting points at Tetris as soon as possible instead of putting SMB+Radracer w/o Tetris.
Also, I don't get the 5 Lines lol. Like @Rayquaza911 said, this is not like you guys even try. 25 Lines would be fine, and since you can manipulate Tetris pattern with SMB score, you can develop a route about how to get 25, 50 Lines as fast as possible or a really big score.
The most confusing thing for me right now is how timing work, this is like the very first step when you start speedrunning a game and creating a board. You need to be more clear and precise in the game rules about to time your run. For example, "Time starts in the “Get Ready Play Rad Racer” screen and ends when the “Get Ready Play Tetris” screen shows up" The run starts on the blue screen or the actual game start screen? Be more specific.
Finally, you don't need 7 mods to rule this board, the community is too small right now and I don't think this game will be more popular than actual Mario or Zelda games. 2 or 3 mods is more than enough. Right now, there is a lot of attention about the game but this is not gonna last very long. And like @JSR_ mentions. Listen your community and respond to them when they ask question about the game. Not responding make people upset like @AriesFireTiger and give you a really bad representative figure. Saying you're new to mod is not an excuse. Just learn from it and you will become a better mod and representative of the community.
For now, I removed all my PB until you fix your board, I will just let my highscore since this is the main purpose of the game anyway. I really like the speedrun concept behind this but there is still lot of works left to be really interesting.
Hi there! Does anyone know how to go straight with the bird like Whitehat's WR video? I'm not sure how the bird control really work.
I could help with moderation but yeah, having someone with very good knowledge of the game would be a good choice.
That's make sense then, I checked with RevealMap/NoFog and yea it seems the brown AI is sometimes confused for some reason.
Hello there, I am new to speedrunning this game and after watching Tei and Dawned videos, I noticed there were no brown Scout ship from their runs. Is that a bug or do I need to play a specific version for that happen?
