GreeceI just want to share my opinion real quick on this matter. First up I really appreciate Timmi standing up and sharing these issues with the community. I feel like these issues have been mostly known but personally I felt alone in my thinking and didn't see it as a worthy argument.
I fully agree with the idea of having leaderboard specific mods and to not add more unnecessary text to this page I support what jel stated in terms of dividing the mods based on game types. I feel this in turn would lead to a much cleaner distinction and have mods specialized at what they need to do. At the same time though I understand Draz's concerns and I think this should be looked into.
A major topic that people have been sharing thoughts on is the amount of mods, not their separation. I find it impractical to set a predetermined flat amount of mods for all games instead of just including as many mods as necessary. KH2 does not need the same amount of mods as JP Days or PSP BbS and I think in regards to a predetermined amount it would be best to let community decide how many, and who, the mods should be for each game (of course people like Sonic can supermod entire series).
Specifically towards handhelds now, this is going to be much more opinion based, I think situation should end up being something like Draz being supermoded for them as well as Jel being mod of them and then like maybe have people like DJ mod the JP BbS boards and me the normal one(?). I don't really know right now and this is prob not the place to discuss more than this. I just think Draz is a pretty good mod for handhelds and has done a fantastic job up to now with any issue that has been presented so I kinda wanted to quickly address that since the last few posts have been leaning more on the handheld side.
Overall, I believe it is important to take actions that will benefit the community and its growth. If that means a sense of mod separation to have individualized mods that will help each game flourish, then that should be the way we go.
Edit: For some reason my post looks weird after I published it. No idea what is going on and if this is just on my end.
Edit 2: I understand why Draz does not want the separation and I acknowledge that as a legit problem. But also a problem for 3 games shouldn't affect whole series.
Will work on adding this asap. Kind of busy so expect it within a day or two.
As always " if a decent amount of people do runs and post them on this forum" I will make the category, simple as that. People always ask for new categories but never do runs. If you want to run it go ahead, you don't need a leaderboard to speedrun. And at the end of the day since there is enough interest, as I said, just post some runs and I'l add the category. Also it would probably work as an IL.
Friendly reminder more than 1 year later this is still not fixed....
Due to the growth of the game as a speedrun, applications are open. We do not currently require an extra moderator but it would be helpful to expand the team. Thus, depending on applications, we may accept nobody or more than one person. Please fill out this form if you are looking to apply: https://goo.gl/forms/bWWAujsTy5eEfMrU2
In most speedruns, timing ends when you lose control of your character. Also the tutorial doesn't technically end until "complete" pops up. FYI you can personally time your run in whatever way you want. The specific timing is only needed when submitting a run to these boards.
Sounds good.
It's up to runners to decide at the end of the day, but I think allowing amp is a good idea.
Please refer to the other forum post for this subject, I have posted an official response there.
Generally, if people wanna run something legit, if they post their run I make it into a category (unless its something absurd like that Lucio run post).
Personally, I really like the idea of a "true all stories". I would recommend having the tutorial and the no prior save only for the "true all stories." That way current all stories categories can stay as they are, and as they have been working out over the years.
As the tutorial is part of the main game as a prologue I believe it would thematically fit into the run. However, in my opinion, it should only be required to be done once at the start, not every time you starts one of the three stories (I'm assuming that is what was meant by adding it in, but I just want to make sure.
As for requirements, basically reports, only Terra's mirage arena one would seem like something annoying to get. However I do believe a "true all stories" run should reflect the "true" entire game, and that would include getting the reports. We should definitely discuss this further though, as it can definitely be annoying to have to get the report on Terra.
Just as one small detail, I would personally recommend to keep the all stories category as is in term of not removing standard and proud as difficulties, for purposes of consistency if anything else. But that's just a minor detail.
Gonna give my opinion on this real quick, in my opinion if somebody runs something, as long as its not as arbitrary as lets say "Aqua proud blizzard only without being allowed to equip high jump" it should be added. If the run is reasonable and not extremely arbitrary then there shouldn't be a problem. Example, Mirage Arena RTA. The rules are incredibly specific and weird and it only has one runner, but does that mean it shouldn't be on the lbs? In my opinion it should. The boards should server not only as competitive leader-boards but also as a collection of different runs, assuming its not anything too weird.
Time is up, at this point delete runs is in the lead. Thus, all runs that use the glitch will be deleted, and glitch will be banned for future submissions.
I think the community should decide what will happen with the category board. I have created a strawpoll, please vote here http://www.strawpoll.me/12770111
The results will be tallied in 48 hours, uprising speedrun submissions will not be verified until then. For the record the category will stay up even after the event is over, just as a showcase for the runs.
Thank you all for your understanding.
Alright, I added in difficulty. Gonna also add normal uprising as a non misc category.
