Nice

This game is available on the Switch, can the platform be added?

Is this still a possibility of being added? I'm more interested in the IL portion of this game but don't see the board is setup for it.

Hot

Any chance of adding Low% IL's to the board since this version of the game does make lowest scores possible?

I see, thank you very much

What's the difference between these, are they just difficulty level for Championship speedruns? I'm wanting to get into IL's but don't see this option

Lots of IL games can benefit from this kind of points system LB, it's why I love the f-zero series so much

Very interesting

I agree, full run should be required

Updated the main category from Any% (English) to just Any%.

Also fixed the rules to clarify this update. If people end up running the JP version or glitchless more categories will be added.

Finally, I'll be posting a new route i been working on hopefully within a week. The main changes is utilizing glitched unity magic combinations + other small differences.

Updated the game data page with a link to a google document courtesy of Landmind36 from gamefaqs. This seems to be information mined from the game so at the moment, it is our most accurate source of information.

I've also updated the glitches guide to include unity magic glitched combinations.

I finally got around to time attacking the game and I think both race time and time attack have their own merits. Making a sub category for each would solve the problem in both this and SE for sure.

Defintely want to reiterate this, at least for time attack (IL speedruns) racing against the clock w/o dealing with randomness would create a better playing field. This and Special edition would be a bit more appealing as well

Why have a leaderboard if there's no care put into it then?

Leaderboard should be updated to either Hide emulator runs or ban them, loading is faster on all unofficial means that play this game, we can't time by real time and allow this imo, unless we allow IGT as a comparative measure

We need load removal like most PC games, it's dumb to run this game otherwise. Anyone we can contact to make this happen?

I haven't been on gamefaqs in a while and I'm kicking myself for not noticing this user has been looking into some interesting stuff in this game. I'll also link this other thread he made detailing enemy's healing w/o players knowing

The Unity Magic glitch has been known for a bit but I haven't listed it on the site since it seemed like it has very limited use, if this impacts the any% route I'll get to updating the glitches guide to include this.

Still a lot of unknowns about it, but in general for the speedrun, we don't have access or any real use of Unity Magic until we've completed the 4th shrine (we do all 4 shrines at once as it's the most convenient w/ world movement, spells, and levels).

The most interesting thing he posted is being able to Leona bolt 1 + unarmed tina making bolt break, which normally requires Leona bolt 1 + bolt sword user attacking. If only Tina's atk wasn't bad this woulda been crazy. I guess the tl;dr is this game is still a mystery and who knows what this might lead to.

This will be a conversation to have with the Catext moderators in the discord. As it currently stands, the categories we have (including the IL table) encompass the significant ways of playing this game that warrant a category.

Seems fair to me
