I already don't like that PC is an incredible amount faster RTA for SF4 and SFxTK, so I personally wouldn't have a problem with it, but there's no accurate in game timer except the fight clock, which wouldn't really be good enough for runs.

If you're suggesting something like Time Without Loads, that probably wouldn't be a problem, but I would ask the other mods for approval first.

In my opinion, for the trials, it is okay if you do it all in one go with all of the characters and have those snipped into individual characters, But we need to have a discussion. Since I have had problems with your times before, I must say that you must abide by the rules of the leaderboard for each of the categories. As with the arcade difficulties, it is mandatory that you do the runs individually under the separate categories, and that you have the arcade settings as specified by each of the categories, which is simple considering the runs are copy and pastes of one another, the only difference being the difficulty specified. Some of the main things I ask when you post runs, as there was a problem with before, is that each run is its own separate video and submitted under the game and category it corresponds with. The settings are another point. We would ask that you have the arcade settings as stated by the rules of the category "Rounds must be set to 3, time limit must be set to 99, and the bonus stages must be on". But if you do wish to submit an all trials run, you must do that single segment. After you have the full, single segment all trials run in, you may segment and submit each of the characters individually from there.

Yeah, first off they submitted their one time for all categories, second, I watched the video but it looked like several runs? It should be isolated to that one game and single category, and they only set it to a single round, which does not satisfy the rules of any of the categories. I just didn't know how to handle the situation well enough to reject all of them, so I just let them sit and have another mod deal with them.

So the one set of trials added to the board still skips the successes, even though we agreed that shouldn't be allowed? I'm glad to see it added to the board though.

I've been looking forward to trying to get a game into a Games Done Quick event for a while now, but haven't really had the motivation to take the initiative until now.

I have been doing a category I made specifically for submissions, 5 character runs, and have been successfully remaining under 35 minutes RTA, even with the slowest character, Dhalsim as the final character.

One of the things I wanted to try to do if it does get in is, I have the first 4 characters picked out as my static choices, Laura, Alex, Ken, Balrog, and have the 5th character be up to a donation/bid war (with Ibuki being the backup if nobody takes to the donations).

I have been doing these runs lately with chat participation to pick the final character to simulate the donation winner and be able to practice with any character that may come up.

Here are some samples from recent streams:

Let me know what you think, if you would like to see this being run at a charity event, and if you support me in my goal to achieve this. Thank you, and have a wonderful day.

I had the same problem with her as well when I did runs without skipping to the next trial before the final hit confirming the success.

Don't jump in for trial 5 with Laura. You save time by dashing in and then using heavy kick.

I really don't like this thing where you skip to the next trial during the final hit, but I won't complain because it does count it in the game as a success.

As of right now, we don't have the trials as a part of the leaderboard, not until we get more people interested in it, and I'm glad you came and shared yours here. Any people who do trials runs can post them here and if we get enough, I can convince the others to let me make it a part of the boards. Some rules we would have are that has to be a single segment run, resetting a trial midway through to try again is acceptable, and because there is no in game timer for it, an on screen timer of some sort must be provided. I don't anticipate updates changing anything but frames of movement when it comes down to a final time and an addition of new characters for the trials at this moment, so it wouldn't be too much to worry about.

Now if you're interested in doing survival runs, I'd recommend it. Typically what I do is find a decent combo that has good DPS, see what I can do to set it up and then repeat it. When doing survival, you want to make sure you get as much damage as possible before the stun, and land the stun on a single heavy attack, otherwise the damage stacking will cause your next combo to be next to worthless with the exception of EX moves that don't deal stun damage until the very final hit. Knock downs are debated between me and my brother, I say that they are good to keep control, because when they stand up, they tend not to block the next shot. But they do waste time if they don't do the quick wake up. The Critical Art attacks waste time during the animation because the clock continues to run during them. I find them to be bad in almost all situations except for Ryu because in some cases, it can skip the stun, but with that it doesn't even save much time because of the animation. Good luck, and have fun :)

I know it's not going to be a part of the boards yet, or at all, but just to give a little update because I'm proud of myself and I like running this, I just wanted to share this 1:12:20

It is possible on PS4. I did it in my run in multiple areas. If my run were to be verified, you'd be able to see it, but from my experience, it is very easy and possible on PS4.

Alright, thank you for letting me know.

So is nobody interested in having the trials put up in the boards? I mean, it'd be as simple as just adding an extra column to each of the characters in the Individual Levels board... But if nobody is interested, that's cool too.

Since the addition of the trials, I decided to start doing RTA speedruns of Laura's trials. Here's my current PB video at 1:22.79, with timing beginning from the first input and ending on the final success text. I would like to see a board for this if anyone is willing to make it and run it, because I would be more than glad to put more effort into Laura, Dhalsim, Zangief, and Ken to give the boards a bit of competition. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope to see some response soon.
