Just curious as to why the category is not divided by difficulty.
Considering the SNES version is divided by difficulty, I could see this one getting the same treatment. I for one have been relearning the game to get back into it, and I would be interested in learning a harder difficulty if there was another category for it.
I have a "hard" difficulty run. It can be considered minimalist I guess as I complete it without dying and without picking up a single power up. But I'd be happy even if it sat in a "hard" category.
I'd be down to have different difficulty categories for Genesis. I've only run easy...kinda curious to see the difference in times for the different difficulties. And I agree with 8Bits, since SNES has different categories, why not make Genesis match?
I will attempt some runs of at least difficult, maybe also normal if there is enough difference, because I am certainly interested. Unfortunately, there are only a few actual active runners currently, but let's see if we can at least get a few more difficult mode runs on the board. Thanks for the response, AlfredoSalza.
Alfredo, seriously? Are you to lazy to add in a "difficult" tab? doing so actually ENCOURAGES players to attempt and challenge. If this is such a burden for you to create, add me as admin and I will do the work. I am an admin of over 30 games lol. This is kinda ridiculous.
yoooo dude just added you as a moderator then bounced as a moderator :o wha?
So I submitted a run for Difficult, but it shows up under easy...you can only see it if you use the Filter option and show Difficult. Is there any way to move it to the new Hard category? Or do I need to resubmit?
Glitched and all? Yeah I'll add it. I'll build somehting specific as well. Later tonight
First of all, thank you for adding the new categories Retro Challenger! Can't wait to try them out, now that they actually exist as categories.
I know you are working on the leader board later tonight, but I do have some suggestions just in case you miss something when you get around to it:
-Obviously, now that the difficulty modes are separated by category, the difficulty option should be removed from the Easy Category to avoid accidental wrong category submissions. -Nichole's 14:32 PB should be edited to have USA / NTSC as the region, so that it will automatically set her older PB on the board as "obsolete", thus hiding it from default view. -The categories should be named "Easy", "Normal", and "Difficult". -Time begins when the Start button is pressed on the main menu, instead of character control (this also reflects the SNES board) -Time end has always been vague in the rules, but every top run has always ended at the very beginning of the lunge animation that successfully throws Scar off of the cliff. This is essentially end of character control as well. This method method is also done in SNES runs. I feel that it is important to be specific with this rule so that new runners are not confused by when exactly to end time.
Sorry for the lengthy post here, but I did not see a good way to message you directly. Also, I'd like to throw out there that I would be more than happy to be added as a super mod so that I can help with any fine details like this, and to verify runs. I'm active in the community, I know the mechanics of the run thoroughly, and I already mod a couple other leader boards. PS: I also know the importance of mods listening to their communities. :D
Thanks again.
Well this is neat to see since I literally asked him last week to help moderate, and he took it as a great offense and made me look like a total asshole on the moderation request board.
I agree about needing the categories, though. I’m glad they’re getting added!
@cajink87 I migrated your Difficult run to the proper category. GG on the WR btw.
I also noticed Autobahn has some good runs that need to be moved, and I will check them a little later as well as look for any other hidden Normal and Difficult runs by other users.
