GreeceIf you could crop it that would actually be really nice!
Yo I can't vote since I'm not a runner but imagine asking people to have to drop an extra 500$ just to have a chance at being competitive in a community this small. All I'll say is this looks bad imo, especially before a GDQ showing where new players could potentially look into the game.
For sure I can look into changing the BG. Do you have any image you would recommend?
This page is just for dead or alive 5 already. DOA5+ is a direct port for the vita and plays exactly the same. We have a different leaderboard for LR (the version with major differences) which can be found here: https://www.speedrun.com/doa5lr
BG Images are always chosen for aesthetic in an attempt to make every lb have its own feel and be more unique.
As for moderation, I'm sorry but we are not accepting more moderators right now since there is no major need for them. Whenever we look for new mods there is usually an announcement on forums/the community discord.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you for everything.
I went ahead and changed the categories for you. For future record, you can go ahead and click "edit run" on your submission to change that yourself.
A while back all of the kingdom Hearts 2 final mix leaderboards where combined into this one. You can find different games (original fm , fm hd, etc) by selecting the sub category for the respective console. If you are looking for the PS3 kh2 fm hd, you can find it by clicking "misc" and then selecting either ps3 jp or ps3 eng. Hope this is what you were looking for.
Late response (since I wasn't a mod back then) but yes, this leaderboard has been modified to accept all DOAX3 runs. You should be able to enter switch as a console now when submitting a run.
@Liv I understand that, but currently both lbs in question have the default series bg and have clearly not been edited since the srcom makeover. I'd just like an active mod in place that can spruce the boards up and put them on the same standard as the rest. Nobody has shown interest in Xtreme for a while but anyway. Also excluding those game we usually handle DOA as a series since its not big enough of a community. Regardless I'd appreciate a solution sooner than later.
I do think this is a good idea but should prob be misc (at least at first) since its a modified version of the game imo.
Just for the sake of consistency among this game and DOA5, I'll start heavily enforcing the rule of requiring IGT split times for each fight when using image proof. This is only for consistent leaderboards and sadly DOA6 provides a much worse final card than DOA5 so something like this must be done manually.
That said runs before this forum post are fine since the rule was barely enforced. If you submit a run that took place on 8/1/19 or earlier it should be good without splits since it's impossible to go back and record them if you haven't already.
Please refer to the forum on the category extensions board about new categories.
Hello everybody,
Starting today, emulating PSP version of BBS will be allowed on the leaderboards. Emulator will be added in as a separate subcategory to the PSP boards to allow runners to submit their times without influencing the original boards. The emulator that will be accepted for the runs is PPSSPP. Since it has a feature for speedup, there will also be a requirement to have the “show FPS” feature turned on for the duration of the run to ensure validity and fairness. We hope this encourages more people to pick up BBS and old runners to try the PSP version of it. If you have any questions about the process, please let us know.

Hello everybody, making this forum post for transparency reasons. You may have noted the category split between PS4 and PS4 Pro that just took place and I would like to make it crystal clear as to why this is the case.
One important thing to note, this decision is unrelated to HDD and SSD. Since the hard drive effectively only affects loads, HDD and SDD will continue to remain together.
Now onto the split. As a community there is a consensus that when a run is different in a significant way, it is separated. When this discussion first arose, about 2 years ago, there was little to no knowledge of differences between consoles at the time, and the only real noticeable difference was load times. Hence the decision was made to have PS4 and PS4 Pro under the same category. At the time, this made perfect sense. However, as time passed, and the run became more and more optimized, some key differences began to arise. Many of these can be traced to the game running on 60fps on PS4 Pro, compared to the 30FPS of regular PS4. From shotlocks, to enemy AI, PS4 Pro started becoming a “different” run. Basically, it is currently impossible to recreate strats used in most PS4 Pro fights on a PS4.
With that in mind, a forum post was brought up a few weeks ago, as well as a discussion on the community discord, to give everybody an opportunity to voice their opinions. No major concerns were brought up, and it appeared that most active runners were on board with the idea of a split.
To summarize, I would once again like to emphasize that this split is taking place due to how differently the run plays out due to new information obtained in the 2 years since the original decision to not split the boards. If you have any questions please feel free to leave them below.
General thread to discuss leaderboard status.
Currently things that are being looked into:
-
Time attack has more than 5 difficulties but they appear to be unlockable. Currently I can't find any information anywhere as to how they are unlocked, and I myself have only unlocked one additional difficulty randomly while playing versus with friends.
-
Story mode takes place in a very weird manner, with chapters/episodes unlocking in what appear to be an arbitrary order. Suggestions are welcome as to how to define it as a speedrun.
-
Quest mode is long and tedious. I doubt there would be interest in a speedrun of it, but if so, would it be any star or 3 star? this would need to be discussed at some point.
When this leaderboard was first created, there was major discussion on 2 topics. First, HDD vs SSD. Second PS4 vs PS4 Pro. Both discussions ended in the same way. The leaderboards did not get separated due to the perfectly logical argument that all that is affected is just load times and that the runs are exactly the same. The conversation died out and the 0.2 board remained as it is seen today. However, since then, there exists a major difference, that should have re-ignited the conversation quite a while ago. PS4 and PS4 Pro are actually no longer the same run. Thus, a new situation exists, where technically someone running on PS4 would never be able to recreate a PS4 pro run. Beyond that, many of the the old arguments still stand. While currently there are are no plans to directly change anything, we thought it would be best to open this topic for discussion and see what the community has to say.
