For me it definitely doesn't show up anymore. That's a pretty weird bug (I assume something is not intended here, there's no reason to show it for some people and not for others)
I can open his profile just fine on both pc and mobile. Just takes a moment to load the runs.
Savestates should never be allowed on leaderboards.
Normally you should at least be able to find that run in the audit log since you changed it recently.
Game Series is still showing up for me in the game list.
Even though my SRC is in english, I get stuff like: Verified by Laxxus vor 3 Stunden (german for 3 hours ago) Submitted by x vor 6 Tagen (german for 6 days ago)
From the Game request rules: Well-known users or moderators of other games in a series may request unreleased games beginning 21 days prior to launch. In rare cases, requests for unreleased games may be accepted by well-known users and only at site staff discretion. Series moderators may also add games to complete a series. Games will not be added prior to release for users who are not well-known.
So as a mod of another game in the series you definitely have a chance (but no guarantee) to get it accepted before release.
Edit: Also keep in mind that in some cases series mods still exist that can add games to their series without going through the support hub requests (for that new Sonic game for example that may have happened)
Yeah, I'd rather leave it on the board when it was a legit run that people have seen before it got deleted, especially if it still is WR. It is part of the history of the game. Things like that will happen a lot in all games over time. I also would consider adding a mod note to said runs to avoid everyone asking/getting upset over the missing video.
It can currently take hours to show up after you changed the rules.
and you really think when they play back a spliced run they don't also fake a heart rate on screen? lol
Would something like the Konami GB collections work for you? Those are collections of 4 Gameboy game re-releases each, only came out in Japan(for Gameboy) and europe(for Gameboy Color). I'm not super familiar with all the games in those collections included, so I mostly know that they are coloured versions and might have less lag but should be the same games as the original GB releases. Two of them have leaderboards here: https://www.speedrun.com/konamigbv1 https://www.speedrun.com/konamigbv4
