Kent, EnglandThanks, I am slowly getting there but not sure I will be able to beat your WR plus I imagine you can sub-30 whenever you want since the update plus lvl 4 skip!
Jeez, looks like the level select has a few holes in the coding! Hopefully inadvertent wtg won't kill too many good runs. Nice researching!
Looks really interesting! I would love a cool warp glitch for this game and looks like you've found one potentially if a consistent set up could be found.
You raise some good moderation topics. My gut instinct would be to allow, unless it could be used for most of the levels. I'll make you mod as you are clearly active in the game.
Hi and great runs - you are really optimising chap 1!
I will add you as mod if you want. I have also been meaning to retime your runs as I think they were faster than your submitted times, there are websites where you can replay frame by frame to get accurate timing and I will post a link shortly.
Finally, you are most welcome to join the mobile speedrunning discord at https://discord.gg/ujkXu29 if you are interested in mobile running generally.
I welcome Dvilx' s thoughts but I would think a screenshot of a time might be ok for a slower IL time but for a top 3 time (or a full game run) video would be necessary. Sorry buddy.
I'm not sure about the others but I use the Samsung native screen recorder and floating speedrun timer for the on screen clock.
Sounds promising! I just copy a link to the YT video in the comment and it automatically embeds.
On the subject of new glitches, I did manage to finish level 4 without sitting through the end cut scene as below: I'm not sure exactly how it happened but I note that I was far enough ahead of the captain that she was not on screen until near the end of the level, and I spammed jump as I left. The cut scene is fairly long, so worth skipping if this can be made consistent.
If it helps, when I am grinding short runs i don't stop and start the screen recorder for each attempt, instead I record the whole session (perhaps stopping and starting the recorder every ten minutes or so to keep file sizes manageable), and when I PB I just stop the recording and trim off the relevant part of the video. The native video editor on most phones makes this easy, and there are lots of third party apps which do the same job.
I don't think a photo or video of the end screen will be a big improvement on the proof standard as one can display a photoshopped screenshot on their screen and video / photo it. Indeed it would be more difficult to spot image inconsistencies that way.
Note: I have no doubt at all in the legitimacy of the recent top times. The issue for me is more that I really like to be able to watch these massively impressive runs to appreciate them.
I have signed up for the beta but not yet done any testing.
Is the dagger drop in the beta update going to be allowed for submissions right away, or not until the official release of the update?
Sorry sleep, only just seen your reply. Cat Bird was just an example of a game where the different world's/ stages are hived off into separate categories in the full game lb. For SoX this would mean additional full game categories for world 1, world 2 and world 3. Alternatively, they could be added as either miscellaneous categories or in the IL leaderboards (Speed Run is an example) although I think that looks messier. The world 1 run for SoX would be c6 min which is a much more attractive run length for a lot of people.
