averagetrey has a handful of great speedrunning (or similiar) documentary videos. ex sms 120 shines and any%
the game might be 20-30$ but you are forgetting that the potential runnner might not even have a wii which adds lets say 70$ to the money to spend and if they want a decent recording quality (aka no camera pointing at tv) theyll have to get a composite capture card and lets take the classic gv-usb2 as an example and add another 60$ and then depending on where you live lets say finland youll need to add shipping 30$ to that and then customs 24% of the 60$ which would be 14.4$ so in total to run and record with decent quality you need 194.4$ (assuming you have a pc already) if you lived in finland like in this example. now if you are american you can take off the 14.4 customs and lower the shipping to below 10 probably but thats still alot of money to be able to have your run on an "official" (src) leaderboard
then go ask for an exception?
since they rejected you 5 times for not uploading to youtube i dont think they will make an exception. but why dont you want to upload to youtube? if you dont want the runs to show up on your account set them as unlisted or make an account specifically for speedrun videos
dont have the game in full screen. or if you mean "show" as in "show in the video" then use window capture on obs for livesplit and gamecapture for the game
if the game is full screen it will be over livesplit
yeah i dont see how this would be a good idea in anyway. as like you said cheating is not that common so this would just teach more runners how to cheat.
do you mean that the game goes into the background if you try to open obs? you should make a display capture and then right click it and choose "edit transform" in the new window set the "bounding box type" to "scale to inner bounds" then set the "bounding box size"to the size you want the capture to be and it will make the screen be as big as it can be inside the bounding box size dimensions
they mean they want you to highlight the twitch stream. if you just stream and dont highlight it (or a part of it) the vod will be deleted in 7 days (longer for affiliates and partners). so make a highlight out of your run in the stream and submit that
rejecting a run because its recorded with bandicam is dumb. only reject it for the video if its unwatchably laggy or so bad quality you cant make sense whats happening
