Missouri, USAThanks to the discord community we're in for fighting game speedruns, we've had a lot more recent runs. Be sure to check out the discord server on the homepage (under the follow option) and join it if you're interested to show your appreciation. -Resolution

Someone should retime Korin's Normal run with Ganondorf. It looks like it would be a top 3-5 time, but because it hasn't been timed for IGT yet, we don't really know.
Due to how much you've played/what decks you've bought, menuing can be slower, and give players an unfair advantage. In my opinion, a timer should have to be going to give the total time taken (to discourage spliced runs) but the time for WR should actually count for how long you completed each individual level.

Could anyone make a theme for this page? I am not very artistic when it comes to stuff like this, so unfortunately, I cannot do it.
*This most refers to the new rule of "short/trivial flash games"
Firstly, a common answer regurgitated to silence critics of these new rules is "go somewhere else and build another community blah blah blah". I'm sorry, but this website is now the community standard. Speedrun.com has virtually a monopoly now as a speed-running hub for games, letting people find potential games they would want to run. I do not believe this is a good argument for said reason.
Secondly, the argument of something being described as "trivial" is pretty asinine. The definition of trivial is "of little value or importance". That is completely up to interpretation. There are games on this website made by actual game companies that are far less trivial than certain meme category games that have become popular and speedran. Here is an example of a "real" game that I would describe as trivial, yet I could still see it being approved due to your approval process: https://www.speedrun.com/nl_twister_race Here is a "short web game" that would probably not be accepted under your current rules but has done well on it's own right and is still pretty competitive: https://www.speedrun.com/apfa
Along with this, runs often get rejected for "little notoriety", but that is meh as well. If you look at APFA, it does not have a wikipedia article(which is what often times mods will reject if you do not have one) yet it has done well for itself and it has a speedrunning scene. Certain games that are good even though not initially notable can become speedran once certain users see the speedrun and decide to try the game. They may even get involved and like it.
Thirdly, runs being rejected because they are "too short" I believe is a bad reason. That is TOTALLY up to interpretation. What about Super Mario 64 0 star, which has currently 36 runners on the leader board, yet the top 12 times are under 7 minutes? Having a short time does not mean a game is going to be "solved". The top 3 time there is from 3 days ago!
It is good and all to have guidelines, but having bad guidelines is also a headache. I feel like if you wanted to actually remove clutter, having a better(or at least more transparent) set of guidelines would be beneficial. Feel free to disagree, but these are just my thoughts.
EDIT: I know many posts have been made on the topic, but I feel a bunch of the same answers are thrown around with little dialogue looking at it from different angles. That is my reason for the post.
A while back, I had life stuff come up and was unable to moderate a bunch of the speedrun games I uploaded. I'm glad to see PrinceRallis and Left have done a good job here. By the way, here is a similarly playing game that I feel a lot of you would enjoy if you tried it. It feels similar in gameplay. https://www.speedrun.com/Robocat
I am not as active in speedrunning, so I passed the torch on the moderation. Nice to see you gave the game title a new overhaul and new update. :)
I think the new version killed this game. It made it much worse for speed running.
I submitted this long ago, I never thought it would have taken off like this. I put people in power that knew what they were doing and were handling things here before I left, and it is good to see it worked out. Keep up the good runs!

Is this a TAS or is this legit lol
I'm assuming the TA stands for TAS. If this isn't a TAS this is insane.
