What do you guys think about having a three lap category for each of the network speedrun stages?
The category would consist of completing the stage three times in a row and adding up the igt at the end, not rta, which means you can take your time before starting the next lap if you want. This would make the network speedruns more similar to mario kart with people competing for the fastest single lap and three lap.
Let me know if you guys think this is a good idea! I think it would be a really interesting category to have, and if this gets enough support it'll be turned into a real thing!
This seems fine if there’s enough interest in it. This would essentially add 8 categories though since there are 8 levels. This may be best as a Misc category with sub categories as to not clutter the main boards (and it does sort of feel like a “category extension” anyway.)
I'll add a Category Extensions board, since I'm a series mod, If that's okay to you guys.
Sounds interesting. I'll probably pass on running it but I'm sure there's enough people who would enjoy a different perspective of Speedrunning the game other than the normal categories.
What do you mean by "we need an example of the category"? Like do I need to do an example run of it and share it here?
That would be climbing run 3 lap in 58.28. That time came from three runs that were 18.766 + 19.416 and 20.099 (average run was 19.42)
@Miksuwaaan You'll be added as a moderator, gimme 1 sec and I'll go to bed afterwards since time zones can be wacky sometimes!
You're Norwegian! I've been waiting for another nordic bro to join the community, but it seems like I was waiting for no reason, because there already was one present!
