FranceWhile I have understood the reasons to delete those runs, I'm also very happy to see them back recently under those Anonymous forms. Big thanks to @SunshineModTeam !
Well, for Zelpikukirby, I still don't get it... On speedrun.com, he doesn't appear under the Anonymous tag, he is even a mod ahah
Regarding everything else you said... Well, that's really sad... Speedrun.com should be a sort of archive, something for the game itself and not for how top runners and moderators want things to be. What I will mainly remember is to do my own researches to see the actual world records, which is quite tedious when we normally have a site doing the job.
And I was referencing the poll mentionned by truther42069 ahah
I will check this site deeper when I've got more free times in my hands :)
Incredible work of art @shoutplenty ! This seems very complete, I didn't even know what happened to some runners who've disappeared from the LB. This should be in the ressources at this point. There's still sone things I don't understand, like why Zelpikukirby is known as "Anonymous (7)" while his name is also on the LB. But that's really small things.
Well, what I find ridiculous is that some names I thought were neutral aren't at all. Spreading those false rumours as top speedrunners and doing a "community" poll that the most part of the actual community seems to not even know the existance is quite biased. This kind of behaviour isn't needed, this is giving the stick to be beaten with. No need to wonder anymore why the SMS speedrunning community is kindly mocked sometimes.
Whatever, thanks to you all for the answer and shoutout (pun intended lol) to shoutplenty's even more accurate leaderboard!
Thanks a lot for your answer ! I remember that being tackled during a JJsrl's stream but I couldn't have any further informations.
I will wait to see if anyone has more details to add :)
Hello everyone, yes I knoooow this is an old topic and some of you don't want to dig it again. I know. But I can't find any information about it and after all this time, it still bothers me. Let's write it down once and forever, to make this clear (I wanna look really stupid if the information is easy to find...)
It's about a runner banned from the community, and I'm against any form of censorship, there's no taboo subject with me, so I'm gonna say his name and hope I'm offending nobody : Guy2308.
Let's not talk about the decision to ban him, to be honest I don't care at all. What I personally love is the accomplishment regarding the game and not what people are behind (well, there are runners I like of course, but that's not the point).
A decision was made to keep his runs on the leaderboard, under the tag "anonymous" with his run uploaded without him talking or appearing, just the raw gameplay. Which is a valid idea because it satisfies everyone. But since, the run has just disappeared and I have never understood why. Someone can explain ?
NokiDoki (I like you a lot man) was saying himself that putting Guy2308 anonymous was a good compromise to separate the runner from the run, and some runners like Inkstar (like you too man) considered himself being one rank below on the leaderboard because of Guy2308's time.
I know some other runners like Oatfloaker seems to have deleted their WR. I can understand. But for Guy2308, his run was saved by the community. Why not making it appear on the leaderboard, especially when his times are still avalaible on the "WR History" guide ? This is quite a milestone in SMS's history. If it was a random time by a random guy, I would not discuss the mod's choices, I know it's tiring for them to justifiy any action to anyone.
Thanks if you have read everything, and thanks to give me an answer with respect. I don't want to rot the atmosphere, I prefer spreading loves lol. But I want to know. Maybe it's explained on the Discord but I don't often use it and don't want to come in just for this unpleasant question.
Have a nice day everyone.
You want to speedrun SM64 but you have never held a Nintendo 64 controller ?
Jcool would be a major WR contender if he was running from a new file.
All the Todd Roger's fans currently crying. Very good decision and big up to @Omnigamer !
I think Levaten should have beaten this time if he had continued speedruning full category.
Interesting thing.
I find nothing with William A. Stewart but with the other name, Kevin Kopaczewski, I found this : http://www.ataricompendium.com/game_library/high_scores/high_scores.html
« 2 other people were recognized for 5.51 by Activision prior to Rogers, in the Activisions December 1982 V5 newsletter - William A. Stewart and Kevin Kopaczewski (Rogers was recognized in the Spring 1983 V6 issue). Rogers claims the other 2 times were DQ'd by Activision but the 7th and final issue simply doesn't have a listing for Dragster. Koziel tracked down Kopaczewski and asked him what he recalled about his score, but all he remembered was having a sensitive joystick. »
Why nobody talks about them ? It looks like they have been dropped.
2-3 minutes in Any% is really exaggerated. SidedWilliam could have 1:14 if he was playing on the japanese version ? 1UpsForLife has made a video about text & loading time :
So I guess if on 1 hour, English version is nearly 20 seconds slower, you lose around 5-7 seconds on 20 Shines.
You're welcome ! if such an exploit is found, it would be useful for some levels around 100 if I have good memories, because it's like 10 turnips to level up the goat and it's still pretty easily to feed it (But around the end, I think having infinite turnips will not help you go faster because it's something like precise shot...)
Currently it's true that gold turnips are known to only be earned randomly so it's quite annoying for speedrunning...
I have no idea exacly how many time it would take, but a japanese guy tried a similar speedrun. It was a 98 RTA. The goal was to reach a flow of 98 as fast as possible. He got a Perfect medal and the Skill Star on every minigame, and did nearly all challenges. The only thing he didn't do which takes many time was to level up the goat to level 200. It took him more than 11 hours and a half to do. (Here's the video : )
So I guess a 100% run would take something like 12 hours, depending on how good you are with goat's minigame. (Buying all items and beating all 3 Gatekeepers don't take much more time I think) EDIT : Well, the video can only be seen on Youtube so it doesn't work here.
Oh yeah I forgot that in 16 stars, it's better to take 8 red coins in BitDW too. Well, I think it's better to do runs without LBLJ first to practice Bomb clip by doing it at beginning
