Hey I popped back in after a long hiatus. Thank you for the clarification of everything and I'll get to submitting runs tomorrow night. Thank you for supporting this rad game

Hey if you need me to resubmit anything let me know. I don't know much about speedrunning but I love this game just keep me posted if anything changes or you need me to re do a run. Glad to have you here.

No you're right. It wasn't until I saw 4 minutes shaved off a default time I went. Oh shit there's a damage setting that could get pretty confusing. So yeah to make it less confusing (cause even a dude that's been playing for 2 decades forgot) having the settings be as they are when you turn on the game would indeed be much less confusing. Merry Christmas to you too. I hope your holiday is good.

No one's saying you did anything wrong. We changed the rule so there wasn't any discrepancies in game settings. I resubmitted a different run. All that's asked now is that settings are on default. And if someone beats my time on default then that's more than fine, I'll beat them. I'm not changing the rules to benefit myself. Your run was great. I beat the run anyways but having everyone mess with game settings would be convoluted and harder for new peoples to learn the game if they're interested. So we took down both runs and made it so that it wouldn't be confusing to anyone just learning the game. If you want 100% damage setting run I'm more than happy to set that up for you.

Sounds good. Sorry for the inconvenience to you. Having damage at 100% would be confusing if a newcomer came along and was confused on why they weren't able to get even sub 10 minute times. This way everything's uniform for people new to the game and veterans. If it makes you feel better I had to redo my run. And If you wanted I can send an 8:30 run I have on falcon with 100% damage.

Yeah we figured that having a uniformed set of rules for settings across the board would be the easiest way to balance things out. Also the addition of different categories still makes everything interesting. Sorry you have to resubmit. I know it's a pain but I think the categories are a bit more defined now. Any other ideas for anything let me or Danny know :)
