Measuring cups and knives are fine. We're basically trying to prevent any electric appliances. substitutes are allowed but some sort of filler must be used, like raisins or white chips. Eggs can be out. Not everyone has a carton for eggs.

I mod for the cookie clicker forums and I get a large number of fake submissions including rick rolls, people blatantly breaking rules to be edgy, people reposting a smallant run that was rejected over and over. I've reported some of these to src mods in the past but there's just too many to keep reporting manually. It would really be nice to have an in site function to report runs like this.

The strat would be to wipe save, wait 5 seconds and the wipe again if you dont get it.

Yeah pre-heating is pretty normal in all forms of cooking.

Moving forward, all holiday runs will be submitted to Category extensions. Furthermore if you guys want to do meme runs or runs that aren't on the board, so long as you do the run and record it, I'm willing to make a board for it.

I'm not 100% certain, but there may be more than one version of SMW.

It doesn't make much sense to split the board over 4 seconds IMO

Maine, USATheStrahl3 years ago

Can be done about 4 seconds faster than this. It requires some luck where the AI jumps both of his peices rather than putting down another, You can win in 3 moves.

I'm honestly surprised no on had done it before. The way the gameboy version works, any% is just win the game with an unedited or edited board. Keep in mind, that anything that can be done on an edited board, can also be done on the unedited board.

100% requires an unedited board and you must fill the entire board before winning.

I think the best way to do this would be to simply add a variable to any% called "Board Edit" or something.

Here are some things I've noticed while doing runs and you should look out for. -Scoring is slow, ideally you should aim to win 2-0. -A safety is the fastest scoring method because there is no PAT, and 1 fewer kick than a FG.

  • First Downs lose time, but are necessary to progress, try to use every down to drain as much in game time as possible and only get first downs when it's 4th down. -Turnovers are good. You don't waste any time on cutscenes. Ideally a turnover on downs is nice. -Keep an eye on the IGT in between plays. If there is less than 40 seconds left. Don't pick a play and just let the timer run out. -Short kickoffs waste less time. -Try to milk each play for every second you can. Play-Action is the most versatile play allowing you to run or throw. Try to run backwards in left down right down motion wasting as much time as you can without being tackled then throw the ball into the ground at the last second or turn it over.

To be clear is 100% just winning on an un-edited board, or do you actually have to win with the board filled out? Because I can win in a few turns without filling out the board.

By jumping onto a block midair and holding down, you are able to zip in multiple directions upon release if you do it right. We don't quite have full control over it yet, by it can have a lot of applications. Here's a clip of me zipping right into the final Dungeon.

Vaan has also applied it to water temple to save a bunch of time. There's still a lot of exploration to do, but I think we can save a lot of time with it.

for some context, a Final Fantasy VII speedrunenr known as KartSeven did a 24 hour run of cookie clicker with only clicking. They only got to about 1XX,000 clicks in that amount of time. With a fast click method you could do it in a day no problem, but it would literally take a week or more of left clicks non stop.

Yeah he informed us of this, we just missed it in the process of splitting the boards. Thanks.

All, please take notice, now that the decisions have been made about left-click vs mouse wheel, the Rules have been finalized. Please read them and be aware of them. There is some new stuff. The main thing is that left-click and fast-click types have been split into different boards. Furthermore, free-scroll mice have been banned.

Also, top times will now require audio/visual evidence as well as some sort of input tracker to be verified. (This does not mean that runs will not be accepted if they don't have them, they just wont have the verified status on the board.)

Maine, USATheStrahl4 years ago

1 Million clicks would roughly take you 27-28 hours assuming you could maintain 10 clicks per second.

Maine, USATheStrahl4 years ago

Say we ban all non Left click runs, do we just throw out all of the runs that were done without one? I'm on board with whatever the community wants to decide on if we want to vote or come to some sort on consensus. I still think the easiest method would be to require Mouse cameras even though it makes the run a lot less accessible to runners.

I'm personally on the side of Left clicks only, simply because mouse wheel is way too hard to verify sometimes. also it make thingss more skill based.
