France"If not less*" not more sorry. I timed Teensie hallway 1 to be 3 seconds slower than a normal 1.0x for instance.
Hi everyone,
Given the changes and slight rebalancing that occured in the Wave 3 patch, is it going to impact every "Items" speedrun currently made on the leaderboards ? Either in the form of a filter, a different category to differentiate updates or a leaderboard reset ?
"Difference a 1.0 from 1.2, frames per second. For 1.0 - 60fps, 1.2 - 72fps."
Checking with a FPS counter, it shoots between 36 and 60 FPS, never ever reaching 72. But I suppose 36 still runs at 1.2x ? And then there are levels such as Teensies hallway for example which is just a bloodbath when comparing againist runs on the leaderboard, it's really confusing
As for V-sync, I tryed so many times to either disable or enable it but it just won't budge I guess I'm stuck 1.2x with lags then. Frustrating, but thanks for the answers !
Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well
I've been wanting to get serious on the game for quite a while now and one thing I can't wrap my head around is the game speed.
How do you differenciate 1.0x from 1.2x exactly and what causes the speed difference ? Could anyone tell me what game speed I'm running based of this video ?
Side question : I'm running under Wine 'cause I use Linux, is it okay ? Doesn't look like there's any issue aside for some graphical but I'm hardly knowledgeable ?
Thanks in advance for the kind answers :)
It is a great day for the analog nation today. No more will they be made fun of for not being able to U-Turn.
What you need to do : While jumping, hold the following :
R1 or L1 + Square Left Analog : Hold Left or Right Right Analog : Hold forward.
You should be able to hold forward on the right analog and press square with the same finger. So there you have it, easy as pie.
Just like GBC and PC, the game is entirely something else on the Dreamcast version than what you can see on the PS1 version. Since PC and PS1 were also separated despite the very minor differences. I suggest Dreamcast version gets it's own category too. For reference : Dreamcast : PS1 :
"Now because of loads being removed, emulator inaccuracies shine even brighter as a lot of them tend to lag less than consoles do"
What sort of lags do you mean exactly ?
"And to add, misc. categories aren't getting any of this treatment from my end 'cause all the categories there are bad jokes."
Thanks, I appreciate it Kappa
As a beginner, you should aim for having your turning short and constanly keeping sacred fire in all circumstances. The time is just mirroring your current level, keep improving, and your times will go down accordingly
This is not the only reason. Take a look at these 2 clips : (25m50s) (18m12s)
Notice anything ? I believe this saves about 2-3 seconds total.
@Sankhara The frame rate doesn't matter much. You only really lose 20-30 hundreths per minutes (Calculated thanks to the courtesy of TheRedhotbr's videos) That's why it language glitch saves so much time over NTSC-U And NTSC-U doesn't have access to certains glitched that are PAL only (Like Crash Cove bridge if my memory serves me well, although it is ridiculously hard to pull it off anyway)
Sooooooo If you screw up the setup at least one time, this doesn't seem to work afterwards.
"The thing is that this method involves a problem with the aku aku mask animation (it doesn't show), so that makes me wonder how much legal is to use an emu in my PS2 to run this game. "
Then that's illegal. I had the same problem with a certain ISO back when I joined speedrunning and so, everyone put me out of the leaderboards.
@TumeK5 If you wait too long in the language screen selection menu. It selects English by default anyway at a certain point
Yeah, no, really. Sliding on the wall seems more difficult to me than U-Turn strat :P
I don't really feel like writing tonight, so I'll just copy paste what I told Redhot on Skype :
"Actually, this solution does satisfy me (ban Penta on MAX, keep him for All Cups) Even though MAX% is classified as Misc. category. I think it should be an actual category. I explain : The definition of speedrun (where I could read it and what I understand from it) is to complete a game as fast as possible With this definition, MAX% is a legitimate category, after finishing the main story with 101%. The game is still incomplete. You have more stuff to do, which are TTs and Cups. However, With "All Cups", you complete nothing except a goal. So it's a valid category for "Miscellanous Category" So that way, for Actual category, we totally ban any form of cheat and we make tolerance for miscellanous category : If the community agree or the goal of a category states it, you're allowed to use certain cheats"
Hi ! I'd like to talk about some stuff about CTR's speedruns
First, I'd like to point out a mistake in MAX% rules which state this : "Timing starts upon gaining control of your character after the first loading screen and ends upon crossing the finish line of the final race against Nitrous Oxide after finishing all the category's requirements." The run doesn't end upon crossing the finish line of the final race againist Nitrous Oxide, but after crossing the finish line of the final race of the final cup. Doesn't matter which cup though.
The next point I want to talk about is the case of Penta. I've been thinking about it a lot of time. He is a character that's only unlockable by a cheat code. And as far as I remember, cheat codes are strictly forbidden in speedrun. Also, he is the only character with perfect stats (Full speed/acceleration/Turn.) except in american version (Low speed, medium Acceleration, full Turn.). So I'd like to debate with you guys to get an official statement about if we should allow or ban Penta for MAX% and All cups
(I'm personally for ban him considering the point mentioned above)
