So guys I think this could be the next YGO speedgame. With that in mind, what kind of tech does a runner need to execute to get a top time?
LOL, are you for real? "No manip" category never made any sense since you can't prove that you are not manipulating the RNG in a run. This category in FM is a complete joke (and is not even listed on this website for obvious reasons: https://www.speedrun.com/yugiohfm ), and it is the same here.
A "No Exodia" category would make sense, but you can also manipulate it to get perfect starting hands (Gaia Curse of D Poly Monster Reborn Change of Heart Neo the Magical Swordsman going second? idk).
This game is likely dead, take a deep breath and run another game.
RNG manipulation is fine as long as it is done with no outside tools (like TAS memory changer or similar). I agree as it is very hard to check for those things. One thing one can do is hope for the integrity of the runner to say it was done without outside tools and provide the method so other can replicate it. If it is done with just retries like gcah2006 suggest one needs to consider the probability of exodia being drawn at the start hand. I can by it for one single duel as it must happen at some point. But not at this consistency. Also, a runner going for an unmanipulated run would have hours and hours worth of try’s on HDD or stream or similar evidence he could provide. Best would be to share the method to a mod so he can check if it is legit or how the ruling should be.
