Here are some methods how I suggest to improve measuring time:
• First of all I suggest to enable milliseconds in game options. At this point top players have really small differences in their PBs, so accuracy only to seconds may cause e.g. an incorrectly assumed WR tie at any time.
• The other problem is that (afaik) vent cutscene may take different time depending on how fast objects were loaded, which may cause some unfair differences in RTA (real time) timing because it's hardware dependent. On the other hand IGT (In-game time) timing may start at the beginning of cutscene, but I doubt this is true, because IGT is usually smaller than RTA. (By IGT I mean time dispalyed at the completion screen.)
Therefore I suggest switching from RTA to IGT. Or at least to the difference of IGT and cutscene duration.
Here's the chart with different timing methods.:
There might be some glitches in IGT which I'm not aware of, so if that's the case I hope somebody will inform me about that.
For now in my opinion these are the most fair methods of measuring time: • time = IGT [accuracy to 10 milliseconds] • time = IGT - Cutscene [accuracy to video frame rate]
I hope the moderator will consider improving timing methods in the ways described above.
Mod note: If you are going to submit next run please include main cave screen or death screen from previous run in the beginning of recording. It's necessary to confirm that you didn't use Daily Challenge instead Adventure mode.
I don't think so. Most categories are subsets of Any% conditions. If you're looking for short run, the best choice is Temple Shortcut%: https://mossranking.com/cat.php?cat=57 Anyway, if you really want to submit Mines%, you can add it manually here: https://memeranking.fandom.com/wiki/Extended_Meme_Rankings_Wiki (There's already No Pacifist Mines% on memeranking, which is technically Mines% but with some additional conditions.)
I'm pretty sure that this category exists in unofficial document which should be available somewhere here: http://mossranking.com/discord (pinned message in #s2-speedrun channel) Anyway if it isn't on Spelunky Discord, you can create this category here: https://memeranking.fandom.com/wiki/Extended_Meme_Rankings_Wiki (Death% already exists but it's for Spelunky HD, not for Spelunky 2)
This category already exists: https://mossranking.com/cat.php?cat=206
This category would be unfair + it's a nonsense
