ScotlandSo currently there was no standardisation of timings in regards to IL. As of writing there is no information in the Rules simply stating the conditions for Player Difficulty/AI Difficulty for each subcategory. Currently Weight & Sea used RTA commencing time on the "Press Start to begin" screen to ending time on air horn however Floor it! used In-Game Time. Personally I've just finished some Solo grinding of Flingin' & Swingin' and was tempted to use In-Game Time here by taking 4:00 - X:XX where X:XX is the time remaining upon final air horn however I have found some irregularity with In-Game Time and decided to investigate.
In my current PAL PS2 Flingin' & Swingin' from the IGT timer starting to the IGT at airhorn difference is 2:44 RTA and 2:39 IGT Difference is 0:05 seconds
In @Poshact 's NTSC GCN Floor It! starting on Go! of the individual race and ending on crossing finish line: Race 1 is 0:50.26 RTA and 1:03.05 IGT Race 2 is 1:02.49 RTA and 1:14.73 IGT Race 3 is 0:45.73 RTA and 0:58.21 IGT Total is 2:38.48 RTA and 3:16:00 IGT Difference is 0:37.52
In @ShiroShima 's PAL Emulated GCN: Race 1 is 0:52.85 RTA and 1:05.64 IGT Race 2 is 1:08.47 RTA and 1:20.31 IGT Race 3 is 0:51.62 RTA and 1:04.15 IGT Total is 2:52.94 RTA and 3:30.11 IGT Difference is 0:37.17
In @Gamingguy63 's NTSC Emulated GCN: Race 1 is 0:54.92 RTA and 1:07.96 IGT Race 2 is 1:10.50 RTA and 1:22.83 IGT Race 3 is 0:54.92 RTA and 1:07.41 IGT Total is 3:00.34 RTA and 3:38.20 IGT Difference is 0:37.86
These are all the runs from the IL Leaderboards but to compare consoles I have also taken @Ninjacop 's NTSC Xbox run, my own PAL PS2 run and @robthegamer115 's PAL PS2 run
NTSC Xbox Race 1 is 0:57.20 RTA and 1:09.94 IGT Race 2 is 1:11.77 RTA and 1:23.82 IGT Race 3 is 0:58.70 RTA and 1:10.63 IGT Total is 3:07.67 RTA and 3:44.40 IGT Difference is 0:36.73
PAL PS2 Race 1 is 1:05.40 RTA and 1:18.18 IGT Race 2 is 1:12.59 RTA and 1:24.91 IGT Race 3 is 0:57.72 RTA and 1:09.85 IGT Total is 3:15.71 RTA and 3:52.95 IGT Difference is 0:37.24
NTSC PS2 Race 1 is 1:02.66 RTA and 1:15.45 IGT Race 2 is 1:17.64 RTA and 1:30.17 IGT Race 3 is 1:01.52 RTA and 1:03.89 IGT Total is 3:21.82 and 3:59.52 IGT Difference is 0:37.70
It appears across all consoles that there is an average difference is of 37.37 seconds with an uncertainty of 1.13 seconds, no disadvantage and no problem :)
TL:DR Please choose a preferred standardised timing method across all ILs either RTA or IGT, add this timing method in the IL boards, and write here why you've came to that decision
People time them out (if they want) and then moderators verify the run, why is that so shocking? 😂
Gl with your runs though, have a scan of the forums and guides for help :)
Just an update on this, despite there being clear and obvious loading screens the current moderators are uninterested in adopting such a timing method despite myself volunteering whole heartedly to do this alone pending approval from them once completed. Their advice is to buy an Xbox if you want a competitive time :(
You should remove GBA from Platforms on this Leaderboard to avoid confusion, though!
There's only really 7 out of the 18 levels in this entire game that you can actually have an effect on the timer: The Bouncer - At 1 minute intervals the timer freezes and doesn't unfreeze until an object is no longer being bounced before changing places Inflatable Pants - Pretty obvious, if you stay near the far right of the screen by going fast and not crashing then you help drag all the slow coaches with you Weight & Sea - Grabbing colours efficiently and getting 1st time on the timed finishing Goo-ladiators - At 1 minute intervals a new bumper is added but the timer freezes and doesn't unfreeze until everyone is in their starting position, even more time waste if people are knocked off the edge at this time Floor it! - Pretty obvious, it's a racer and finishing gives your opponents 30 seconds to finish or get a Did Not Finish (aka Too Slow!) Seahorse Stampede - Get a 4-0 to get enough points to progress past BB Jail, 5-0 for a safety at a cost of 14 seconds Flingin' & Swingin' - It's possible to nab all 100 pegs and hence finish before the timer
Just for anyone wondering why the boards are split between the PC and PS version there are two reasons:
- To finish the game you need to collect all 4 Lost Boys on PS version, this is not the case on PC
- Less importantly is load times
Other than this, the game’s are identical and you can see that by watching runs on either platform. :)
update: managed to find mod via lethal league discord and have sent him a friend request on his corrected discord and his steam linked to his discord so will let you know. i've also hit you up on similar platforms so we can all get together.
i've got an Any% time of 53 mins but i had a gross amount of restarts, your time for 100% seems plausible but imo it would take a lot of grinding and without seeing it i wouldn't think it could be go on boards :(
hey the mod is gone, in future you need to highlight your twitch VODs otherwise they will be lost overtime depending on your status. i'm currently grinding Any% but this mod's social are gone and i've had a friend request pending him on discord since July so it might be up to you and me
So Strikers 1945 I and II came out on PS2 as a compilation so that should be a platform and also you can buy the PS2 copy from the PSN store to play on your PS3 so that should also be a platform and is the one I intend to run on
TL:DR Add PS2 and PS3 to platforms
Hi there, Shrek 2 (GBA) is currently modless with 2 runs after user "Ted" was banned. I've asked Smartalec (WR holder) on discord if I can take mod as it's a game I have future interest in and as he has none he gave me the go ahead.
Just for future reference, routing is done and maps (mostly perfect) are available under the "Guides" tab on this site :)
As far as for your second question about glitches we also have a known glitches sheet, including them in your run however won't save too much time. An interesting glitch I would love would be on The Octopus Passage: -Sonar the octopus and await for the swordfish to clear the path for you with their slicing of the seaweed animation however if you were able to go OoB during the sonar of the Octopus then you could go straight to the crystal glyph at the end of the level as it is already to be sonar'd and you'd save the time wasted by waiting for said swordfish animation
If you could go into mine and @Lugia2468 runs and edit the platform to Switch then that would be appreciated as currently we are without a platform, then i will finally be quiet Kappa
For new categories in speedrunning usually it takes a runner to do a run of the category themself and then hit up mods. You want it? then do it! gl!
WiiUVC is allowed but not WiiVC also why do we now have both Switch and SwitchVC?
Ayo free my mf plankboii, he's the face of HG speedrunning. You feel me? This guy is honest and brave! If you reject his run then you're messing with the plank gang plankbDAB
I mean this is the only game that uses "SwitchVC" tag over "Switch" but whatever LUL, all I did was post my run as NES "emu" and then despite the video being kind of obvious with the Switch overlay he asked me to put the emu in descrip so I wrote "emulator: Nintendo Switch". He then verified it as: SwitchVC "emu" so I've re-submitted it as SwitchVC because I'm not emulating the Switch's NES app cause how dumb would that be?
@captainspeedruns do a WiiVC run now
We have a volunteer? Doesn't need mod experience, just to be active and sociable
