Texas, USAYea, I mean it makes cheating a little easier I guess. But theres still a proof standard, if anyone looks over the run before aproval that be extremely easy to catch if someone just starts scrolling over levels. But yea I forgot to mention I think a better solution to all this would be just loading a file with ONLY 1-1 beat, dont know if that makes it better in anyones eyes though.
Hi, so i haven't ran this game is a while, but i can remember from when I did, that reseting on console was a nightmare. Emulator runners have the luxery of save states to load a state at the title screen every time they reset, but console runners have to hardreset their ps2s every time (which takes around a minute from reset to start of the next attempt) in the game sadly u cannot load a blank file, but there is another potential solution. Allow runners to simply scroll back to 1-1 every time they want to reset, this causes no differences I can think of. (except for lives, which could be 'fixed' to the regular amount before every reset) the game still attempts to play the cutscenes at the times it normally would, and the game still scrolls to the next stage/world after u beat the previous level. In the end this would make speedrunning this on console a lot more bareably in my opinon.
Yea different models on bcwiis has wierd loading problems in some games like wind waker but in xc theres no real time difference from wiis and gc
I'm not a mod so this isn't completely creditable coming from me. But if i assume the question is referring to using something like the "Retro Bit Super Retro Advance" to play fusion on a SNES. I'd say the reason it wouldn't be allowed is because it's not a officially released way to play the game. Something like a Gameboy Player on GC is officially made by nintendo, and is verifiable accurate. Whereas a converter device like this is not so verifiable and is not official.
why has this still not been added to the boards?
I never said it was your fault. Yes cyber was vague and the rules were too. But why should we let it slide still. The simply fact is that your run breaks buster only more than it needs to. Just like how my run broke low% by getting a weapon up. They both are invalid and there is no reason to let them pass.
There is no any% and all stages minimalist. Because of buster only you may NOT use high max in alternate areas to skip thevrest of the 8 mavericks. minimalist is a unarmored x buster only low% (xtreme) speedrun. With unarmored taking greatest precedence then buster only and lastly low% (low% meaning no upgrades for x, collecting normal reploids, like in 100%, does raise percentage but does not contribute to raising x's stats so they were deemed okay.)
Buster only is a term frequently used in classic mega man speedrunning referring to no weapons. So when buster only is stated it also means saber is okay. Just no weapons.
To elaborate on why this run's rules seem so arbritrary. -The point for this run was to make it literally as hard as possible. It was inspired from a youtuber hideofbeast who did all of x1-6 with the category name "minimalist". The only difference between his run and this is that his was also no damage and deathless but it was a segmented TAS. These conditions are unfeasible in RTA to say the least. So on agreeing on rules (with cyber and I) we decided to remove it.
And finally yes i will update the rules to make it as crystal clear as possible.
The rules state that this is a buster only run. Meaning that you don't use weapons. Since this is impossible and you need weapons, you are limited to just thoughs areas where weapon use is required. These areas being: Spike climb at the begginning of nightmare mother's stage, the high max fight in the gate stages, impossible jump at gate stage.
In your run you use weapons at an extra point (high max fight in mijinion alternate area) breaking buster only and invalidating the run.
This is not about jealous or malice for you either. As you proved in the comments in my most recently run i collected a weapon up, breaking low% rules. So i changed the title and description on youtube and rejected my own run here on sr.com. This is simply about sticking to the rules. No matter how ludicrous and arbitrary they are.
Wait is it just ng+ or just replaying on a completed file
Yea emulators such as epsxe and bizhawk are allowed but just know the Fast Disc Speed on a PS2 is a lot faster
while i do agree morally with the points presented. these are all completely irrelevant to making a separate category for faster versions.
so would it be ok to use usbloader to play via the collection on wii or is that just wonky and or messes up loads
