Arkansas, USAIt's me again, making another thread. I have made an auto splitter for this game, so I'm making it available for public use. I haven't made it official yet (though I plan to), so you can only get it from my GitHub for now. If you encounter a bug or want me to change a timing or two, please tell me; I'll try my best.
You can find it here: https://github.com/DeLittleCat/Bassins-Black-Bass-with-Hank-Parker-Auto-Splitter.
Enjoy!
Apologies, perhaps I should have separated those ideas. The theory was just about the glitch's use case, and the glitch is easily reproducible. It is only a theory because I haven't produced a scenario where I lost by some tiny margin, since if the weight does go down, it is marginal at best.
Despite bugging the graphics for a bit, the game and graphics seem to return to normalcy once you reach the actual weigh-in sequence, so it is mediate.
I should be more clear by saying it only retriggers the weigh-in, nothing more in terms of gameplay.
Now that I see what you want from the category, I agree that it really shouldn't be allowed in any%. It is just hard to tell what is legal in a category based on the category rules or rather the lack thereof.
It isn't an exact replay, the weights on the leaderboard change.
Lets say you lost by a very slim margin, getting fourth place. You could weigh-in again and hope the third place weight decreases enough for you to get third and progress to the next lake.
I have never gotten it to work like that yet, so it is only theory. That is to say, I haven't been trying it. It would lose too much time for any% Glitched, and its legality in any% is currently TBD.
Seems interesting!
I agree that the Japanese(JP) release would require separation. It would be unfair to compare their times due to the mentioned differences.
I have implemented both of the current leaderboards for the JP release separately.
If you want to have this run on the new leaderboard, please submit it to the new JP subcategory of any% Glitched. I don't want to add it without your consent!
Hey, it's me again. I would like to report that I have found a frankly obvious glitch if you have done Lake Skip Glitch before. It allows you weigh-in after you have done so already. Here is a video of it being done: As you can see in the video, you perform Lake Skip up to the reset, but instead of resetting, you select yes to weigh-in again. I thought someone mentioned it; however no one has, so I must now ask, is this legal in any%?
Hey. With regards to other similar fishing games' leaderboards and @Galaxy_rooster's thoughts about Any % Glitched, I believe IL leaderboards would be great. Shorter runs would reduce randomness, and grinding specific lakes individually would be more interesting to some players than playing through it ironman style(curse Bronze Lake). However, do consider that this would make Any % Glitched near obsolete in its current state, since IL Bluestone and Any % Glitched would basically be the same, minus lake skip and extra lures. Thoughts?
