United StatesHey, all. I've had a crazy few years that slowed me down significantly in doing anything video game related. I was worried that I had completely bombed as a moderator of this game, but it looks like we haven't had much activity anyway.
I'm here for the foreseeable future and am happy to work with such a reliable, passionate crew.
So, where do we go from here? I've fancied myself as as ambassador of this particular series of Double Dragon games (#1-3 on NES and the NES-inspired #4; btw, do we have a name for this series? I usually think of it as the NES series, but that would be inaccurate for 4). It's an underappreciated speedgame series, even among NES speedrunners, but DD4 is the one that always gets left by the wayside. I think there's some untapped potential in this game, but it may never see its shining moment.
Maybe we need more categories? [Kappa]
I know that this is more of a Battletoads game than a Double Dragon game, but if you'd like, you can all consider yourselves welcome to join the Double Dragon Discord, where there's channel dedicated to BT&DD.

Welcome, GB Double Dragon runners!
Belated congratulations on the Metroid low% WR! I have a feeling that not even a TAS could go that fast.
Take a look at the upper left corner. I made it today and added it to all 3 of the NES game pages. If mods of other Double Dragon versions want to use it on other game pages, feel free!

We didn't have a Discord channel yet, so I went ahead and made one!
If any of the game mods join, I will make you an administrator. It's not MY channel. It's OUR channel.

Hey, everyone.
I did my first "faster-than-casual" run through the game yesterday (I haven't actually learned to speedrun it yet, just tried to beat it as fast as possible). During this attempt, I got stuck in the underwater cave leading to the first "dungeon" (not sure what you guys call them in this game) of chapter 6. Upon entering the door, where you would normally get a game save screen, followed by warping you to a hallway with open doors, I instead just walked straight into a hallway- one that you would normally never see in the game- that had a closed door. I tried walking in an out several times, but it never triggered the save screen, the door never opened and I couldn't find a way out. So, afaik, I stumbled into a softlock.
Is this a glitch anyone has ever seen before? I've played the game many times and have watched many runs and never saw this. I googled it and found no reference to it happening to anyone else.
Anyway, what I did was just reset the game, load the games save file and continued playing, starting from the beginning of chapter 6 again. This was no problem because I wasn't doing an actual speedrun and wasn't even recording, but I wonder if the StarTropics community allows re-loading the save file in the case of a softlock, or if the run is invalidated if you do so. Thanks in advance for the info!
