The problem it creates, in most speedrunning communities, is it discourages competitiveness. People are more interested in getting an easy WR on an empty board than putting in the time to beat an optimized run. Personally, I don't think the gameplay differs in this game enough to warrant multiple categories BUT if lots of people want to run it, that creates an actual necessity for it.

@8BitisGr8 did you submit it?

Cool, thanks kain!

I see quick play is noe a category. Can the rules be refined to include number of matches, difficulty, weapon or no, etc

@orkybork I think he meant Tales of Souls which is essentially the arcade mode of this game which has since been added

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share a complaint that goes across the board for just about any speedrunning community: having a million categories with no runs deters people from picking up the game. None of the categories have any prestige whatsoever and the constraints given for each category are nothing more than self-serving for individuals hoping for an easy WR. I think if you guys want more people to run these games, you should clean up the leaderboards to give the games some real categories that would interest people to run them.

Thanks, Zach

@MODS, could you define rules + timing for the game? Thank you :)

Thank you!

The North American version, I assume. I play it on the PS2 but I'm not gonna be picky about consoles and emulators and whatnot haha. If you want to submit any sort of run on any console, do it!

Hey guys, if anyone is interested in playing this game just let me know what you'd like to do and I'll make a new category for it, if it makes sense.

Update: if anyone is interested...

Got the modification completely working for the controller. Using sticks off Amazon ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00HE5DRCM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and a borrowed precision screwdriver it took about $2 and 20 minutes to take apart and add the new sticks. Highly recommend doing this for anyone that doesn't like the Playstation sticks.

Still nothing :( even tried manually rescaling it to 16x16

Pretty much as the title says. Not sure if they're disabled as I haven't been able to change mine no matter what image I use or how long I wait

I second this

Thanks man! Before I throw down 40 USD I'm gonna try swapping the sticks on the controllers and see how that goes. Sounds like lag could be an issue dealing with adapters

Hey everyone!

I'm pretty new here but just completed my first speedrun on the PS2. Was wondering if there was any way to hook up my Xbox controller (wired w/ USB) to the Playstation as it's a far superior controller in my opinion. With the PS2 controller I'm constantly falling off the sticks and playing claw is much harder. I've seen adapters online with VERY mixed reviews. If anyone knows of a good way to hook it up, I'd greatly appreciate it!
