Id just like to say that 1. The new patch doesnt seem like it will have any major impact on the run, and 2. Ill be getting back to WR attempts at the end of the month, as I have a tournament to prepare for.

I know.

Its more a personal thing. Some runners are motivated to beat their own times. Im motivated visually by seeing my name AMONG others. If im racing myself then whats the point.

Its demotivating for me. It just sucks when, as it stands, im basically waiting up to 2 weeks for my run to maybe be accepted. It just feels like a pain in the ass system. I should just be able to submit a run and have it accepted.

Guys, I just want my Mortal Kombat X run submitted. If I have to wait another 13 days til u guys can take action then Id rather move on to something else.

Im not asking to be a mod, I just want my run accepted.

(the only mod hasnt logged in since the day I submitted the run. I shouldnt have to wait 3 weeks JUST to have my run potentially accepted. How the hell am I supposed to make progress by posting a run every 3 weeks? /rant)

Sup. I submitted a Mortal Kombat X traditional tower run like 5 days ago, contacted the sole moderator on twitch and facebook (He provided the link in his twitch bio) and have recieved no reply. How much longer should I wait before requesting action here?

Are admins/ site moderators able to accept my run. Ill request to become a mod if thats the only option but I need my run accepted so I can update it as I got a PB today.

Thanks.

How long should I be waiting without response from a moderator after submitting a run? I mean before I request an admin to do it manually or something. I submitted a run for Mortal Kombat X Traditional tower a few days ago, and messaged the only moderater on both twitch and facebook (as he provided a link to his fb on his twitch page). I have yet to hear back from him.

I know ive read this somewhere before but I cant remember.

So ive been getting really into speedrunning the traditional tower the last few days. Been trying to find ways to make it more consistent.

In the video I cover 3 options.

Option 1 - Is the strat used in the current WR. Option 2 - My attempt to minimise wakeups by keeping them in a full combo instead of 3 uppercuts. Only loses a couple seconds and only real downside is if they break. Option 3 - My attempt at seeing if Cutthroat Kano was any real competition to Blood God. Unfortunately it seems he is too slow. Although I like the idea that he always keeps them standing and at -15. So everything he does is guaranteed and the only thing they can ever do once theyre in the corner is break. So I may revisit that concept.

We play on casual cuz infinite stamina is cool, and stamina is not cool. Game would not be a fun speedrun without casual difficulty.

And we only switch difficulties before the Kane (Kain? I forget) is defeated, cuz it provides the most xp in the run.

That was funny.

Also them hundo % strats tho.

Yeah, they reset the leaderboards for everything but the main 3 big ones. But its still glitched to hell.

It was supposed to be wiped, but ive still got all 3 of my accounts on big 3 lol.

I dont even check them on PS4 anymore lol. Theres no competition anyway, besides us and we use our own leaderboards.

We use igt for levels but theres no igt for the full game. Unless u manually added up all the times I guess.

I never ran the full game, so ill let Brooks share his opinion.

Cool, i visit this site several times a day, so Its not often I miss stuff for games im following.

NG+ is a category that can only be done from the PC version, and has to be set up manually. Its not really NG+ as there is no NG+ in the game, but its modifying the game so that u start with all upgrades. Dunno how good of a firsttime speedgame it is. Dust was my second speedgame, and it only took about 2 weeks to learn before I did my first run, which ended up being a low 1:20:xx in any% warpless. Ill message finn to stop by here. If hes available. See if he can answer anything Ive missed.

I was forced to move on after my PS4 account got banned, which lost me my copy. Ill eventually rebuy it and run it again. But as you said, I moved on to other things. Dunno what the other guys are doing.

Im not sure about it but I think as it stands any% warped and warpless are pretty optimised. But I cant even get close to the any% warpless record. My movement's not great. Dunno about 117%. So yeah, dunno if this answers ur questions. Im not running this atm. Dunno what the others are planning. I will probably come back sometime, but that wont be until 2017.

Still, its a really fun run (Minus the final boss, which is imo the only bad part of the run). The tech is really nice and fun to do. If Finn is still around im sure he'll stop by ur streams (if u stream that is). He did for me. FInn's also made tutorials for the tech and a complete route guide of any% warpless. So starting off isnt as difficult.

Hope you give it a try at least.

I know I keep saying "Ima come back guys soon blah blah". Im sorry. Ill try to get back into running this game after August. Got a big tourney coming up. There's some other speedgames I wanna work on, but I swore Id PB in at least any% before I started working on them.

Then Maybe Ill route some other categories like Easy or normal to practice for Soulstorm.

Also, thats another thing. Should be be putting stuff like 'Monsaic lines' IL runs in any% or 100%? Because u dont actually progress the % of the game in a level like that and paramonia.

Okay, so confession - I didnt actually watch the run before I made that comment. I put maybe 2 weeks grinding rupture farms 100% and I saw maybe another 10 seconds of timesave left after my final time, and couldnt believe u could shave 2 minutes without using some sort of glitch.

So thats partly me. But after watching ur run I dont see the timesave. Maybe 30 seconds. Not 2 minutes lol. Especially with the 5-7 seconds lost dying to the meat grinder + the fumble at the end. It didnt look like that much difference.

But I could be blind. What do I know, I dont have time to run this game anymore atm, not for another month at least, so I could be overreacting.

However, stuff like Sams Freefirezone IL run that is actually impossible on console should not be in the same category. That is unquestionable. And since (I think) u cant make categories for levels individually, its gotta be 1 category for all, well end up with glitchless rupture farms anyway.

This isnt 100% me salty u guys took my hard earned PB, just partly :P

I know its a hassle, but can we have glitchless any% and 100% times for IL runs. Everytime I see one of my runs beaten by u guys on PC its really discouraging, when its supposed to make me want to beat it. Its impossible for me (and console runners) to compete.

Hello.

Yo!

Im Biased but my first speedgame was Oddworld New n Tasty. I dont think the any% category is that hard, and if u want u can try routing the easier difficulties. No ones done those yet.
