First input would be from the start of the game though right? Pre-bucket? The bucket isnt immediatly unlocked. So by the rules it would be prior to collecting the bucket, then once you have the bucket finish all 12 bucket endings defined by the rules. Am I wrong?
For the 12 endings/ Bucket catagory, would the start of the run be from a fresh file or once the bucket is first available.
There are more than 6 collectibles by the way
I started speedrunning back in 2014 right as it started to get popular. I used a website called PB Tracker to keep track of my times without worrying about having to upload a video. Ive been trying to catalogue all of my older runs to Google Sheets to better future proof them. I checked the website recently and everyone and their times have been wiped except for one person. Does anyone have any idea what happened and if there is a way to view these times? This must have been recent, like in the past view months.
For the sake of fair competition im fine splitting the leaderboards between emulator and console for the RTA aspect. Being a smaller community here however, i personally dont see anything wrong with emulation as long as the advantages are not significant enough to make console runs obsolete. We could all decide on what emulators are acceptable for runs to limit the amount of variation, although im unaware of any innacurate ps1 emulators that are commonly used.
If possible i think we should time the loads for each platform (Emulator, Ps1, Ps2) so we have more information for RTA.
Ive never ran SM personally but the more original hardware you can use the better. That being said, emulator is fine as long as the correct version is used and you follow the rules. Personally i would use the SNES mini since that would be considered an official console. To the best of my knowledge you dont even need to post video proof of your run, but by submitting your time its expected that you are truthful and you actually achieved that time. Hope this helps, and good luck on the runs!
I dont believe so, unfortunatly i went through this a few months ago myself. The only accepted emulators are what is listed, so no mobile emulators. :(
I dont run this game but tbh could we change the rules of any% or have a separate catagory for password usage? Whatever works for everybody else.
@WolfAttacK some people dont have the money 😋 I use a blutooth controller on my phone and works very well.
Me either lol, never thought so many people would be playing this game
Well while im here i was interested in becoming a mod for LTR. I check the website everyday so submissions could be processed a lot faster, plus it would help you out since you're busy.
Hey do you still use discord? Im trying to get in contact with you and this forum is the only place lol
Currently the IL levels are only timed to the second. Could we add milliseconds since the in game time includes these?
One year later...
I think the reason why we havent seen this yet mainly is because of the length. There are not as many players for thps 3 compared to san andreas. Even if you managed to complete a character every 10 minutes (which is a pretty solid time to get) the run would be around 4 hours. Ive considered it before but for me i definetly lack the skill and time to do so.
I was considering running this game and was wondering if any what ds emulators are allowed
Just figured id drop in and say hey. I posted this game about 4 years ago and ive honestly forgot about it since then. If i had a ps2 id be playing it. I would love to be a bigger part of moderating the game at the least if i cant play it. And thanks capes for taking over, i grew up playing this game so its cool to see other people enjoying it.
Hi guys :) I played Dave Mirra 2 growing up and im looking into speedrunning the game. I am using an emulator and would hope that is ok.
