As this game's community is small and new things are discovered slowly, the leaderboards suffer from changes from time to time. Until now, the updates were only communicated through the LEGO Battles' LEGO Speedrunning Discord channel (where the discussion of the game takes place). From today the updates will be put into this log and through discord. Note: the valid rules are the ones that the "View Rules" button says.
June 4th, 2021 From now on, the only allowed emulator will be Desmume 0.9.11 (in the download page, download the build they say is more stable. It is the first three links, each link for each operating system). Runs before this change will not be affected. The next sentence is for emulator and capture card runs. Reminder that you can use any type of layout (this is new for emulator) making sure you show both screens clearly.
July 27th, 2020 Rules have been set regarding emulators. Don't panic they are very simple. As with the previous updates, runs before this change that don't follow the new rules won't be deleted. This is a rather young community and changes are made as the problems arise. I hope you are comprehensive with this. Nothing more to say. If you have any problems setting up OBS Studio (and similar) don't hesitate on contacting me. As final words, I'll just say that I hope this community grows even more. So, get your Builders ready and GO FAST!!
January 13th, 2020 Game audio is now required, just for the sake of authentication. As you know it is possible to quickly touch the continue button on any level and the results screen doesn't appear. If there is no game audio, I can't tell, sometimes, if it has been pressed or not. Runs affected before this change will still be valid.
October 27th, 2019 Red Brick IL leaderboards have been created. The notation is as follows: (better explained with an example) I want to submit an ACT 2 Earth Red Bricks IL run. Then, Category: ACT 2, Level: Earth RB, Earth Act 2: FULL ACT. To resume, Category: ACT #, Level: [Story] [RB/NRB], [Story] Act #: [Select Level or FULL ACT]. When looking into View All, you will see the FULL ACT times.
26th October, 2019 It wasn't explicitly said in the rules that a video was recquired, but it was when you submit a run. Now the rules say "Video of the run is recquired". Remember that any kind of video is valid if it shows the full run (so webcam runs are totally valid). For emulator runs, they are also allowed. Throughout the following weeks, I will check the best emu so there is fair game between emu and console.
Hi LEGO Battles enthusiasts,
After a lot of work, the leaderboards are now reworked. Throughout this post I will explain all the changes. If you want the reasons why, feel free to reach me here through DMs or through Discord.
First of all, no categories have been added. This means that we still ha
