Bribe Glitch - Gone

Invisible Viki - Gone

Level Underflow Glitch - Gone (tested on Sheena AND Kuromimi)

(Unconfirmed by me) No more Stat Stone Glitch, No more Infinite Escape Talismans

And - RNG is now actually random, meaning no more manips for:

Marco's Cup Game, Lepant's Wheel, Army Battles as a whole (that I've noticed so far), Early Holy Rune

Glitches discovered so far:

New softlock at Neclord when your Regen from unlimited water rune pieces outpaces Neclord's damage

World Map music retained when instantly re-entering a town (happened to me once on my day 1 108 star run; was in Rikon)

Will be interesting to see if we will even NEED a glitchless category for the remake!

Hello, it's me, NickDoane.

I was so shocked to see that my WR of almost 8 years was beaten (verified beaten) today! But the run was real, and congrats to RetroMaestroHalil!

So...thing is...it's kinda a weird situation.

So firstly, idk how the last few runs on the EU/NA have been timed My run was originally timed to 12:29.x timing to the first frame of the 'Congrats' screen, but a few years back timing end was changed by mods to be the last hit of Jade instead, making my run a 12:27...

...but if you look at my run I kill jade at 12:12.x.........so......idk what the deal with timing is as RetroMaestroHalil's run is verified as 12:26, final split timed to (a few frames before) the 'Congrats' screen...

But looking at Halil's run...THEY kill Jade at 12:12.x too!!!!!

So obviously, we need to fix the end timing for both of these runs.......but how do we want to do it?

A world record tie at 12:12? I'm fine with that, if that's what the community wants.

Do we start timing in milliseconds (at least for this case)? I'm fine with that too.

RetroMaestroHalil - 12:12 and 13 frames (12:12.43)

NickDoane - 12:12 and 22 frames (12:12.73)

So yeah, I did lose WR.

Congrats RetroMaestroHalil!

Let's fix the boards now too though.

Hey all,

I was just reminiscing about the old 12 Hour Challenge and thought I'd look up when the next one is.

As far as I can tell there haven't been any in a few years?

Y'all wanna bring it back?

So I recently rediscovered the fun of the Lunar TSS Debug Menu.

I made a tutorial on how to enable it for anyone who would want to experience the debug or to even run a random new misc category I came up with -

Any% No Clip: With Debug Mode enabled, holding B allows movement with no clipping. This is the only allowed use of the expanded ruleset en route to completing the game.

I had a lot of fun with any% no clip and would love to open a misc board and encourage play on it.

Thay said, there's also another misc category that this leads to:

Any% (Unrestricted w/ Debug Mode): Use debug mode in any way to complete the game... In other words, meet Nall, add ghaleon to you party, warp to the top of ghaleons palace and wipe the last bosses (lol)...

Either way, i had a lot of fun playing any% noclip and thought at the very least id pass along how to play it (plus holysmith asked :) )

If anyone agrees or disagrees with these misc boards plz sound off!

Keep going fast!

Any% No Save and Quit board is now up.

I plan on leaving my WR at 2:57 for this category so the WR is ripe for the taking. You also don't have to learn any steproutes or big tricks so the only barrier to entry is giant root RNG.

Good luck to all! Have fun!

I tried to contact 'wappon' the current WR holder but no response. Both of their WR videos are gone and unfortunately that means they have to be removed.

I dont want to erase history though so I thought I would at least document them here.

These runs were legitimate and they were the world record times when set. I personally watched the entire runs and verified them both. That said, video proof is necessary for ongoing rankings on leaderboards.

I hope some day that these videos resurface but for now they only live on in this thread :(

Wappon was the player who took this run to the next level. I worry there may be more data loss if not acted upon soon so if I dont hear back from wappon I plan on saving their walkthrough and adding it to this page's guides section. I will seek permission first, but my plan is to grab it soon just in case anyways.

Please be sure to properly archive your runs players! This stinks to have to do to a champion and Im sorry.

Hi,

I've heard a lot of talk about people being interested in the console version of this run and maybe some talk of people taking the emulator versions of the run less seriously. I dont see a need to debate; I think each run has its place.

The biggest issue I personally run into is when I reset on my ancient console it takes about 10 seconds longer to re-enter the game when compared to emulator runs. This happens across any different emulator I've used and beyond that my console itself will vary in its initial load time upon reset and can take anywhere from 40 to 50 seconds depending on....idk just how it feels like loading after being a console for over 25 years.

At this point Sega CD is starting to get a bit rough to run on. Mine makes big popping noises when entering new load areas sometimes (especially iluk and that area of the game). I dont think these issues will get less pronounced over time.

That said, I think runs on the actual hardware are pretty important. In fact I'm planning to take my next WR on console (if I can swing it). But I believe that will be the last WR (I can personally get) while running on console; after which I should be able to beat that run fairly easily on my next successful emu run.

So! My plan is to create a misc board that tracks console runs specifically as it would break my heart to run on console and get a new WR just to crush it instantly because of emu advantage after and have it disappear from the boards.

I'm not going to move any runs off of the normal leaderboard, im just going to create a misc board to keep the console runs visible for posterity.

Im willing to hear any POVs from the community on this and look forward to any responses! Thanks.

Nick

What is the policy on runs without videos? It looks like WR in normal ng+ doesnt have a video of their run. It seems like it was there at one point but is deleted now.

I had brought this idea up with dbcade but since there has been so much activity here I thought we could ask the community.

I have a few pacifist runs that ive completed. Pacifist as in no attacking/no damaging your opponents.

I think its a really fun and interesting way to play the game. Ill post my pb below if you want to see what a run looks like.

I just would like it to even be a misc category. I think it deserves a spot on the boards; what do you think?

Hi, i had wr in any% no ring ng+ royal for a few months but then lost it a few months ago. Now i have it back. Just wondering where the other run went and maybe if there was a way for me to be able to tell without a post like this id liketo know that too. No rush. Thanks.

Or as i like to call it YRP Only (could we swap that name too? Its so much catchier and smaller in character length) I have a run and havent seen any others of the category unless someone can link me to an unposted run Please add the category and thanks :)

(Also note i didnt even make a "what can i do for you" joke either)

Im not exactly sure how to ask this but i need a program that will allow me to put in custom images and click to toggle the on/off for when i collect them in a 100% run. Let me know if you need further clarification and thanks in advance!

I eventually wanted to do a full season run. There is a problem with the game though that it only counts to like 121 wins in season then resets so if you win almost every game you wont even qualify for playoffs because of the glitch. How should we deal with this glitch as a community when it comes to trying a full season play through?

Would you guys mind starting a co-op category even if you want to hide it in misc? If you want to wait until the run is posted that's fine. Ill try to talk to people on the discord etc in the comong days about this as well. Thanks

Is there a way to add the unfollow game feature to this site? Just do the reverse of the follow button? I just really dont like seeing Seterra every single time i look atthis front page.

Windows?

Are you really not allowed to save your game more than once and still have your run on the leaderboards? In the rules it says 'when you make your one and only save'. Ive never seen something like this on another game. Am i getting that wrong?

No really. Why? New ceres escape wr with no proof today. Why is this board run like this? And how is it not overrun with unproven times? I believe with a huge game like this there is a legitimate reason. Id like to know. Not trying to ve provocative but im just honestly miffed.
