Texas, USA@Mysteriousdewd I don't believe the original Continuum Shift had a PSP version made, as far as I can tell there aren't any good PS3 emulators that work yet either.
I haven't even uploaded my PS3 runs of the game to YouTube or Twitch yet neither do I own a PSP version of the game since it's non-existent so I don't think that's an issue here.
@Mysteriousdewd Here is photo album I made with my own PSP showing multiple methods most people use to capture PSPs directly with no need for emulation thanks to Sony actually releasing a handful of products available for purchase that include multiple visual cables needed to display PSP visuals & audio to either a television, projector, or a computer screen directly
Once plugged in the PSP system itself can be outputted directly to various capture & stream software such as OBS Studios or Xsplit to name a few
Ok just in case I'm still uploading a handful of my pre-event practice runs of a couple of the BlazBlue games that includes a handful of JPN Modes that I think I need @JakatoXtra look over since I can't actually read the all Japanese text and I need to be sure things are set right lol.
I'll also put some more of those JPN runs up tomorrow since I thinking about including stuff like BBQ for the fun it since that's completely Japanese unlike some other modes which mixes the two together.
@JakatoXtra so I take it you're able to communicate on the forums okay then?
@Liv Personally what I think what would be best for now is if @Mysteriousdewd & @JakatoXtra co-modded the individual games at the moment if they're up to it since I can attest that there's was many oddball runs using Japanese exclusive modes at the event that most of us couldn't make heads or tails initially without @JakatoXtra providing quick live translations of that ended up being a big highlight.
While a lot of the runs did follow the standard arcade rules of BlazBlue games there were also a ton of new runs in modes that many were hoping to be added in categories and @JakatoXtra himself also participated in those so he know what the rules & settings for all those runs were.
They both seem to be able to communicate well enough via the forums after trying to sort out what happened.
@JakatoXtra Also I'm still waiting on the footage from the planners but I plan on uploading them as soon as I get them
In the meantime though I got some runs I did before the event that I didn't end uploading before it because of time. I could upload those up with that will help.
By the way the next speedrun event's taking place on the same weekend as AnimeNext within close vicinity of the convention center featuring the BlazaBlue games, other games, and then some
@Liv After thinking it over for a while I think I can partially answer why communications sorta failed here.
Now mind you I just participated in the event and will also be in the other event coming up. I didn't plan the events but I still knew everything the general planners told all the regular runners about the event.
@Mysteriousdewd was right in thinking that the community was small since frankly it still is compared to other games but it bumped up to around 8 or 9 or so people once a speedrun marathon of all the games was brought up.
At the start it many things were being discussed online with the event planners on each of the different games.
Not just BlazBlue but the other games beinf run as well.
For the most part everything was cool but overtime as it got closer to actually event it was discovered that the other BlazBlue games weren't actually listed.
Which then lead to that whole conversations about adding them in somehow.
Those concerns were brought up to a lead event planner who said they would handle it.
Which I think would have involved contacting @Mysteriousdewd? Since I know they checked off other games.
Though luck would have it that exact event planner ended up not being able to make it to the charity event & was replaced by someone else for just managing what the other guy was supposed to be doing instead of actually making new plans since the other planners were doing double time.
So then it's like a few days before the event and all the other games were a-okay & there were now in person meetings rather than online about setting up all the equipment & any other plans for all the games being rimmed at the event & most of the BlazBlue runners were getting worried since not all the games were covered on Speedrun just yet.
Part of the event's gimmick that game runs would eventually be submitted on to a leaderboard even if it didn't break any records.
Well it started getting closer to event day and many were worried since there was potential talks from the planners about canceling the BlazBlue marathon if the individual games couldn't be added in time but then it was discovered that @JakatoXtra was able to get the games needed to continue the marathon at the last minute approved & the BlazBlue runs were saved & things ended up going smoothly at the charity.
It got kinda hectic towards the end there with people wondering what was going to happen with the games before they got approved & there might have been some opportunities for someone else to contact @Mysteriousdewd potentially but I mostly just did runs for the event rather than the behind the scenes planning so I can't say with absolute certainty.
What I can say is that there are some bizarre concerns from some people but I don't share any of theme besides the one where each game should be considered separate
For the record I also agreed they should be separated games since other fighters are doing that because of how each game is different. Street Fighter is just the best comparison since it's literally the fighter most people think of.
Also I can confirm there's a few concerns in the community that were building up & a handful of members a part of it discussing it that kinda gave the whole burden of breaking the ice of the topic to @JakatoXtra since he submitted those game even though it would have been better if they brought up the concerns to @Mysteriousdewd himself since Jakato has actively has been trying to stay neutral about the whole thing but they didn't want to start the open dialogue themselves for some reason
You guys know who you are
@Liv Hi I just got the message about things being said here.
I was one of the runners in the speedrun charity event @JakatoXtra mentioned where we played the BlazBlue games & as well as a few those Street Fighter games.
A long while before the event even happened there was this huge discussion that went on for a bit about actually speedrunning every BlazBlue game for it.
Doing every version of Street Fighter was already on the going to be in the event thanks to them receiving an early copy of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection thanks to Capcom and the topic of why every BlazBlue game wasn't featured on Speedruns & the topic of considering each version of the game as separt games did come up with how the games played differently from each other & how fighting games like Street Fighter games each have their own entries with most agreeing that the same should be true with BlazBlue
From just talking to him abit at the meeting for the speed run event I can say he really is passionate Gundam
Although I just recently made an account to coincide with the fact that I will be participating in a speed run event for charity soon which includes many of the Gundam games already featured on this website with leaderboards, I will like to point out that @JakatoXtra approached the members of the event at a meeting with a solid recommendation list of Gundam games that helped fill out many of blank spaces for the marathon.
That list also included many games not yet featured on this site yet and he went into great detail as to why including those particular games would garner attention to not only the event but to get more people to consider speed running more Gundam games in general.
I left a message in the Continuum Shift II forum that I want you to take a look at

I thought I should send messages in the other forums of some of the other BB games being ran for the event just in case you might have missed it.

Hey man it's John, you know the other guy you met at the event meeting that's also running Blazblue games and robot games for the live speedrun marathon next week?
I made an account on the site after hearing how the runs are gonna be captured with us being allowed to upload them after the event is over and I was wondering if you could add all the other difficulties available for this one and the other games? I want to get some practice in during the week before we do the event and figured to set some goals to beat beforehand.
