Texas, USAVu16 has done a series of ILs for the game and I have slowly been working through them. When I did so I realized that the IL leaderboards did not have an option for milliseconds which was frankly quite odd given it is quite easy to get a run of the same second. I added that as such.
Adding this also got me thinking about how to deal with the versions issue that has been an issue. While this is not a for real fix, I was curious if adding In Game Time to full game runs would be useful, adding up all the times of the tracks (and maybe Adventures as well) to have alongside RTA.
Just a thought, curious what others think.
Hello everyone! My name is Pokehero and I am the new mod here. TheTanStar was inactive and I requested mod, however, he was replaced by me. I have already offered SuperMod to him the next time he is online (dw I'm not trying to dictate everything!). That being said, I have verified all the runs pending verification and in the next few days I will be moving Arcade to Individual Levels.
If anyone has any leaderboard suggestions/alterations they would like to see, please feel free to drop it in this forum post below. I'll try my best to respond to everything!

I'm aware of the differences Guide made by IceCube, but it's hard to understand which version is better. According to HSS's route, the differences between NTSC-J and NTSC-U does not make a difference for the route. However, its a 350 Poko difference according to IceCube's guide which I imagine has to matter. PAL seems to take way more time due to weight, but are there any other region differences that change the run?
TL;DR Which version is the fastest and why?
Custom Robo: Battle Revolution (GCN) Any% Speedrunning Tournament!
Hey guys it's Pokehero and I think because the CR community has increased in size lately, let's have a tournament!
There are also quite a few people who have expressed interest in running this game but have not due to ¤insert reason here¤ so why not
Some things to go over first! 1) This is for fun! I have no plan of giving something to the winner, consider it bragging rights
2) The tournament will start either the week of the 29th or the week of the 22nd (of May). Sign-ups will end on May 13th
3) Emulator IS ALLOWED. Now obviously, emulator is faster than console, so the solution was if you are playing on console, whenever you do a run, I will add 90 seconds onto your final time to try and even up the competition and give no one an unfair advantage
4) This tournament will be Double Elimination! Meaning if you lose one race, it's not a big deal, you have another chance!
5) Not every run you do has to be a race. The way this will work is that each round will have a week long to compete (save maybe the final round since there will only be 1 run) and in this week, you may do your Any% run. Your run MUST BE RECORDED. And during the first 10 minutes of your run you MUST say that this is your tournament run. However, if you are able to schedule a race between you and the other contender, I'm sure Drac or I will be able to verify you did a race :P
6) If during the week you are unable to make your run for whatever reason, you will lose automatically
a) If both players cannot do their run, the win is awarded to the the player with the SLOWER PB (#Underdog)
i) If both players cannot do their run and neither of them have a PB, the winner is awarded to the player of the lower seed¤
6) The following are rules for the runs
a) Timer must start on pressing "A New Journey" Timing ends on fadeout after winning the Rahu III fight
b) Bathroom Skip is allowed (why wouldn't it be). If you fail Bathroom Skip, continue the run as normal
c) The run must be off a clean file, not a NG+ run!
d) You may visit the Parts Generator as many times as you need
e) While not having the memory card in is faster, it is not required
7) For players who do not have a PB, feel free to use my route: http://pastebin.com/eLR48nmn
The sign up form can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12E2u_nnRczTHOwBwU4uvhfZewPAs04Gri5bKdk7PZAs The bracket for the tournament can be found here: http://challonge.com/cr_any NOTE: Final Dates TBD for rounds past round 1
I hope you all can join!
¤An explanation of seeds: In sports, seeds are basically a ranking. The best team will have the highest seed and the worst team will have the lowest seed. You ideally want the highest seed because that way, if there are not a tournament multiple (4, 8, or 16) amount of people who submit, the people with the higher seeds will not have to run in the first round, effectively giving them a "by week" and thus increasing their chances of winning the tournament. This example of a by week can be seen here: http://imgur.com/2lqutaW (Where players 1, 2, and 3, have a by week) 1) If you do not have a PB, you will be given the lowest seed a) If more then one person signs up who does not have a PB, seeds will be assigned randomly to those without a PB
Any questions can be PM'd to me on Twitch @ twitch.tv/thepokehero49 or just by replying to this post
"All Colosseums Round 1" is so misleading. In order to beat Mysterial in Round 1, beating Gateway Colosseum is not required. In the route we don't beat Gateway because we don't have to so why would we. It really is just "Any%" or if you wanna be specific "Any% Round 1" but its not "All Colosseums". Obviously All Colosseums could become its own category, but in no way is it the Any% style runs on the leaderboards.
It'd be great if we could change the category name to Any% or Any% Round 1. Thank you!
