Michigan, USAholy god nice phase 5 zyf. that will definitely be the standard for 5th phase. you can also get agent 3 before she pops her inkjet in phase 1. combined with good aim+speed this boss should be a breeze at the end of all levels. :o
These sound like something for a category extensions page and the Splatoon series isn't big enough for this to even exist. Also, this is less popular because its more of a one time thing/endurance test that many people do. It's not super competitve due to the nature of everything's length. Also, idk what you're talking about with NG+ because that doesn't exist in Octo Expansion. True Any% (which allows level skips) will be added as a miscellaneous category at a later date.
I actually made a thread just about this very topic. TonesBalones said himself he would add it as a miscellaneous category! And yeah it would definitely be a bit different for the route if you still want to go fast. Might try to create something later.
Due to the nature of how Octo Expansion Any% currently operates and the level skip mechanic I would suggest renaming Any% to Any% No Death Abuse or Any% No Level Skips. Whichever sounds/looks better to the mods. Then if you were to implement the Any% category which allows skipping levels just simply call it Any%. Just to help differentiate both a bit better. (obviously Any% would be a miscellaneous category due to its absurd nature and barely anyone would run it in the first place, thus relegating its presence on the leaderboard) The rules for Any% would be:
-Octo Expansion -Time starts when you press "Yeah" after creating your Octoling -Collect all the Thangs in any order -Dying repeatedly within a level in order to skip it completely is allowed -Time ends when you press Yes-skip this phase. (ie dying on the final boss, pressing the X button, and going down to select the Yes-skip this phase. option)
Hope this explains what I was thinking about! If the moderators or anyone else have any questions/criticism just reply to this thread.
With Octo Expansion's success as a speed-game I thought I would introduce a shorter, fun category to the community. This would be called OE Boss Rush and the premise is just that. Beating all 5 available bosses (Octo Oven, Octo Samurai, Octostomp, Octo Shower, second Agent 3 fight) as fast as possible. The rules would be as follows:
-Octo Expansion -Start from a completed save file (plus all 80 levels beaten at least once) -Time starts upon entering the Octo Expansion (whether it be through the tunnel in the Square or selecting the Deep Sea Metro option in the menu) -The 4 selectable bosses (Octo Oven, Octo Stomp, Octo Samurai, Octo Shower) you can complete in any order but Inner Agent 3 must be completed last -Time ends when the "Inner Agent 3 defeated" text appears on screen
I hope the moderators read over my proposal and possibly consider adding it! If you guys have any form of criticism let me know.
Hi there. I'm fairly new to speedrunning (only been running my main games since March 2018) and watched EZScape's video about the longest standing world records in speedrunning recently. Number 1 brought me to this forum. Now I just wanted to watch both records purely out of curiosity and seeing how many mistakes this Tim guy makes. I also heard this particular game is kind of a bad speed-game leading to its unpopularity. The Nightmare 100% run is easily viewable on Youtube. But the Easy 100% run leads to me an old website with an outdated file format as the source of the video. I'm kind of a noob to properly downloading/converting these old files to something watchable like in an MP4 Format. So if anyone can give me some pointers I would really appreciate it! It also might be better if this old run is truly preserved in a watchable manner. If no one else is willing to do this I will gladly do it myself and release it with full credit on my Youtube channel! Thanks for any help guys. =)
