We came up with what we think will work best for the board right now. We'd like to get runners feedback if you see anything that could be changed. Right now we are looking at using in game time to track the runs. In game time does not include cut scenes, game over screens, or scene selects. It only tracks the time you have control of your character in the level from first frame to stage clear. We decided not to use real time right now because of different load times on console. Because of this we prefer no one quits the run to go back to title screen to continue later. The board will open in a few days (3/17/24) so there is time for discussion and changes.
Is possible add the characters because the weapons from X is not the samw like lance and the other even ariana have diferent weapon "c" and hard cops characters too
I understand having a variable for Character choice could maybe dilute the boards a bit, but the characters do each feel unique enough to me to where I think it'd be nice to have a board for each one. Not only a gun's main shot but also Overload varies quite a bit between each character, and mobility differs as well. The Hard Corps characters especially have a lot of mobility and a few unique mechanics.
Overall we are looking to see how many submission we receive for the board and interest in character runs. Something not shown on the pictures above is we require each runner to submit their run and mark which character they used. Then down the line, we can add characters to the category and organize the board to match if there are a lot of submissions worth splitting up. For story mode you are allowed to change characters as you progress, so that board won't have character options. But for Arcade, we are just looking to see how much interest there is to run the game. And then how much interest there is to have the board split up even more by character. We would love to hear everyone's opinion on this.
I've a very beginner question: What do people usually use to record runs on Windows PCs?
I use OBS, depending on what console or PC you use to run the game. But I think a lot of people use OBS.
Could that be added to the official rules please? I am asking because it is not specified there.
Tubo is not allowed; do not submit runs using turbo. My comment above originally had a typo. I apologize for that :D
