I personally dont appreciate being lumped into asking for this because I am Arts friend. I stated what I stated because I have been a mod for a long time and we manage a lot of boards and marathons. I personally do run this game and this wasnt him calling me over or something. I came because I run this game and noticed the board was very weird looking and I couldnt even find the run the board said was there. (It happened to be because SRC shows runs for non verified runs) Everything I posted and asked for was independent of some perceived friendship that you assume we have.

Second I stated that having a community vote would make the most sense, if you have people who watch your streams that will come in to vote on the category staying then that makes sense. I just dont agree with making a large amount of categories and not voting for it to stay a thing or not when their is community divide. In regards to mods not acting in the communities interest that definitely happens but thats a violation of rules and for example this got brought up in "Naruto Storm 4" and the super mod there was removed and replaced. I am a mod of a lot of anime games and we run a lot of events worldwide for charity and I work with a lot of mods daily and this stuff comes up a lot and we try to work with those mods for the benefit of communities all over. I have nothing against you or anything personally I just think fixing the rules and adding or removing the categories that runners want is good for the community of the game. I can submit some runs if you want but at the time I was going to submit them it wasnt a possible category to submit (I ran Max level Characters and used glitches).

TLDR: We can run a poll and ask the community what they want done. Nothing I did was out of my perceived friendship its all for the community of this game. Multiple people contacted me about it.

I think its fair to change it to be an annotation as its been asked by 3 community members already. Siting rule 1 of the website.

If you add two sets of 100 weapons it would make the board have 29,120*100*100=291,200,000

Yes but that only lists the last 5 runs. If you change it to a Sub Category Annotation it will still display the character they use but wont create a board for it. That way you go from 29120 Boards down to 224

I understand that now. But if I was looking for this run I would have to potentially look through 29000+ boards to find it.

I meant that if there were runs I wouldn't be able to find them because I would have no clue where they are when there is 1100+ Sections to go through to find it. Also the board said there is a 8 minute run at the top right.

Currently with how the board is set up I cant even find runs if they are posted. I think there are like 1100+ boards in this game currently.

So just for curiosity if a particular Character and Weapon combination kill the boss too fast will that level cap go down?

I personally think it would be better to add a "Capped" and "Uncapped" category if you want these to be the rules. Also a community vote for rules that add limitations to runners is usually the standard on the site. Programs like Cheat Engine along with Macros are covered by the Site Rules and dont need to be clarified. Banning Glitches seems odd without adding a sub category variable called Glitchless, but this isnt very important overall. It would be good to clarify a type of glitch since players currently might accidentally perform one and they would need to know which glitches are banned.

Also Category rules should be within the category rules themselves as to not double state rules. Game Rules are usually rules that cover every category. Otherwise you can just attach NG rules to the NG Variable and same for NG+

Just my 2 cents. I hope you all have a great day!

It was a bug on YouTube's side. They where scheduled releases but didn't go off when they were scheduled.

In the future if you could upload this in some way to a youtube that would be better.

Shout out to @kingkyouma for the video! This goes over whats in FDM and is funny haha.

What you say is correct that with a amazing island 1 it doesnt save as much but the principle itself matters and resetting over and over for a perfect island 1 will never be faster unless you get a god like item out of the first chest. More often you are saving something like 8s and thats a good chunk of free time. I like the idea of adding on the island 1 time because even if you play skipped island 1 ultra fast unless you hit the next island portal while your screen is obscured you will be in the island for like 2-5s. Depends on if we are counting the fact you can move but cant see.

EDIT: If the obscured screen thing is an issue a +3 flat IGT for that Island I think is fine.

The idea is more that it is a glitch that messes with IGT and that kinda sets bad precedents for runs. If a bigger glitch similar to this was found it would likely be disallowed for example. It is pretty soft since it saves as little as about 8s but that is time that you cannot save without doing the trick itself. So if a run were just so good that the 8s from it mattered it would feel very unfair. Now of course you can down patch and use the trick I just feel that strategies that mess with core elements of the game like the timer should be vote on.

I personally mod a lot of games that use IGT and its generally a good practice to post about them when discovered on SRC and have people vote on them. That way the board properly reflect the communities views. If that was done already in a discord then thats cool as well, you would pair it with a post on here and screenshot the poll from discord bringing the runners attention to the vote being held in the discord.

Again I hope this doesnt sound like me crossing a line but rather I saw that such a rule wasnt listed anywhere and was used in the record and had to be told by another person that this was posted about in the past. Keeping people on SRC up to date on community rules and policies I think is good for new runners coming to the game. Many of which dont use discord.

EDIT: Also since you can down patch you can just use the strongest patch so its still an issue to be raised regardless of it getting patched. 1830 may be the fastest patch for a while.

Depends on frame rate but it can be a 1 frame.

The Glitch in Question is using "Quit to Lobby" on the frame the load starts to load into Island 1, which gives you a very extended load and a completed Island 1.

So I have looked into this glitch a fair amount and it stops the IGT entirely on Island 1. You could on paper sit there for 30 seconds and then click on your choice for Island 2 and the time will start when you land on Island 2 after the load. This does leave you with 1 less item but if this glitch becomes frame rate specific or patched then its about a 10s give or take time save you cant get back.

I would like a community vote on the inclusion of this trick or not. I don't think we need to remove runs that have already used it but rather a vote for whether to allow or disallow in future runs would be cool.

Thanks everyone for reading and if you need me to submit any other information I would be glad to!

Thanks man. I know you originally used the Ace Strategy so its great to see it return with a full build ect. I still might not like to use it in Full game since its kinda scary luck wise. But maybe I would still do it. Heck 2-3 seconds is still 2-3 seconds.

The 2x EXP Mod is a modification of the game technically. It changes the reward system to reward twice as much EXP and SP. This is theoretically possible for the PSP as well, but the problem was that due to the infrastructure of that version it was more likely to break. Regardless its possible to make one for both when I am free. PSP is much slower since you effectively move at half speed so its very common to not be able to avoid fights and thus increases the amount of fights you take, and also bosses are stronger in every way so you basically need more levels by a lot to beat them so that version is very level dependent.

EDIT: Its also extremely luck based since you cant manage your stats much and drops are extremely rare and so getting them makes your run much faster. So effectively your run can die if you dont get Kuro Glasses and Krieg Battle Spear for example. Also the PSP version is Japanese and translating it slowly corrupts your game breaking certain menu's as you get more items.
