As more people are doing Toadsworth% runs, I think that there should be a proof requirement past a certain time, like with the main categories. No matter how meme-based a category might be ( Kappa ), I still think a sub 31 or sub 32 proof requirement would help stow off potential cheaters.

CTQ and I decided to do some testing on load times. The results showed that Wii U VC was indeed faster by about 14 percent. We took four load times (file start, 1st stadium entry with the cutscene, 2nd stadium entry without, and mission start) and compared them, and found that Wii U VC won across the board. Note that whenever mashing could be used to skip a cutscene, we did not to avoid human error.

More details can be found in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k07YQ-sUvnkGP4-6fYuaekg_pbJx9UIKg1qbdibXvtc/edit?usp=sharing

Can this be added? Since all of them is a main category, it makes sense that them individually would be IL categories.

I have created a tournament on challonge.com. This will be a double elimination tournament of any% races. The deadline for entering is June 25, exactly 2 weeks after this is posted. Further rules are in the Challonge description. Good luck to everyone!

Also, if any mods want to help run this, tell me your Challonge name and I'll add you.

If you sort http://www.speedrun.com/alttp#Any1 to only display NTSC records, you can see something interesting. TheKingofKings, PredAtr1990, and myself all have times of 2:54. However, only TheKingofKings and I show up as in a tie for the #1 spot; PredAtr gets ranked 3rd despite having the exact same time. If you look further down on the leaderboard, it also happens with ZoroarkWizard with a 2:56, being ranked below everybody else with the same time.

Is there a reason for this? If not, can it be fixed?

Not sure if this would be any% or 100% or what, but I'd appreciate this addition. (It'd also be a way to do a multi-game run without spending 10 hours on it lol)

Just each individual course as the overall categories and "Star 1," "Star 2," etc. for the sections.

Since Super Meat Boy is now available on Wii U (), it makes sense to add it to the list of systems for runs.

Title. It's too unfair to everybody else.

I have created three tournaments on challonge.com. These are a series of races in a double elimination bracket, and the best performer will win the championship! There are three seperate brackets for the three main categories.

Any%: http://challonge.com/mssany All Captains: http://challonge.com/mssallcaptains

Sign-up for any or all that you want to try your hand at. Note that the deadline for entry is May 14. Once this date is reached, you can discuss with your opponent to find a time that works for both of you, either via this post or some outside chat thing. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

EDIT: Removed All Characters due to low interest.

Title. I don't know too much about these runs, but there seems to be no reason to exclude so many people from running the game.

United StatesAmpsen8 years ago

It seems only reasonable that there is an option to play it cooperatively. A friend and I would love to run it together.

What exactly is "LSJ?"

United StatesAmpsen8 years ago

And if not, would it be possible to add? I do all my streams via YT and would like to have them show up on there.

United StatesAmpsen8 years ago

If possible, make a "100%" category for beating the story with all four teams and rename the current category to "Any%" please.

United StatesAmpsen8 years ago

Would IL categories be possible for each individual Jiggy challenge? I would like to submit some of mine.

A misc. category was the fastest time to get to the Warren Robinett room?

There should be a co-op category for the individual levels.

I am looking to run this, but have no means to capture 3DS gameplay. Is a video required?
