AustriaYeah sub 7 is definitely possible no questions asked. Got a 7:27 with one really costly death and a lot of mistakes. Got a 8:10 a couple attempts before with 3 costly deaths.
Got a couple new strats that save a couple seconds. Also getting better with dashes. But god damn I'm starting to reset a lot. Gotta force myself to make more no reset runs.
Feels nice to have competition ^^ Got a 7:34 with one death. Took some safer strats from your run for more consistency, worked great. There's room for improvement with dash usage and cleaner movement in general. There are also some energy drinks that I am not sure about, only time will tell.
Your turn Dylenoyer :P
We could use a thread for posting runs until the mod situation is cleared up.
Got a 8:51 run for V0.8. Tried to optimize the route with energy drinks and dash shoes but it's still a messy run. Guessing 7:30 should be easily possible.
Played a lot of this game in the past on my DSi XL, but I cant really record that thing. Would it be leaderboard friendly to play the game on desmume emulator?
I respect the positivity you bring to the game Melon. Hope life's treating you well my dude. :thumpsup:
Does this work with the regular console or do you need some form of modification for the console to use that command?
All versions are the same, but aiming and moving with a controller as precisely as with mouse and keyboard in FPS is generally a hard task. Nevertheless, all versions, no matter the country, should be the exact same. Language is easily changable.
But no nice words are always appreciated. Hope is indeed not lost. Far from it. ^^
The accessability sure is the biggest problem yeah. You can get it on amazon new for 50€ (jeez) or used for 13€. And that seems to be the only way you can get it nowadays.
If anyone is out there, looking for this game to be revived as I do, please contact me in some way or another. Best thing would probably be to join the Discord.
Greetings gentlemen.
it is sad to see that this game as of now is quite dead when in comes to speedrunning (and therefor in general it seems).
So, since this game has a lot to offer regarding speedrunning, and many things were left unoptimized, I have planned the following:
-
I will try to add the ominous single level runs. This is long overdue and I apologize greatly for that (Sorry anemptybox!). This game sees like it is made to be run like this, since either strats are way too risky to be in a whole any% run or they are hella safe. I'll provide them within the next week. I opt to keep them single levels and not episodes as Ch0wW suggested, can be changed in the future.
-
I want the XIII Discord to return. It was created at a time when I was not with this game anymore, I would've loved to help with a new segmented run or sharing some of my never released strats to the outside world.
There is a catch tho.
We need people. We need runners. The last record was held a year ago, several were two or more years ago, and with good reason. Competition is inexistent. But look at the Goldeneye Speedrunning Community, which originated 1999 and is still to this day alive and well, and those two games have a lot in common. What reason is there to drop this masterpiece of a game?
The new Discord will be https://discord.gg/TDPYEeR
I don't expect anyone to join or answer any time soon. But let it be known that I have the will and the love to make this game be run again.
Don't leave me hangin
