Hey everyone, I wanted to share this in here as I'm sure there might be many people interested in joining.
Eagle Island Twist is an upcoming DLC for the 2d Platformer Eagle Island (DLC is free if you own the game)
The release will be on May 28th and there will be a speedrunning tournament with a total prize pool of $5k USD as well as another $5k USD donated to the National Audubon Society
Tournament will take place on 5 and 6 of June, so literally everyone will have a week to learn the run (It is a set route and not the actually full game, run takes about 25 mins to complete)
If you like indie 2d platformers with pixel art and want to participate, make sure to check the following link with all the guidelines about this event:

Hey everyone, thinking about running this game, probably a longer category than the 8 bit one. I'm still on my first playthrough but I'm kind of practicing while I play.
With that being said, I got this strat to clear the dark cave 100% consistent without any weird or over complicated setups, hope you like it.
Does anyone has a working link for WR so that I can see strats for this run?
Thanks!
Hey, I know a lot of testing was done before accepting bizhawk and just wanted to ask, if I start playing in Snes classic and submit the time comparisons between RTA and IGT as it was made for bizhawk, if there could be a chance for SNES mini to be accepted as a valid emulator?
Just asking this because I really like the SNES controller to play, I would completely understand if it is ruled out for RTA as any other emulator besides bizhawk as of now.
Thanks!
Hello, just wanted to showcase that this type of stuff can be done even with no WSE and merely by intended gameplay.
Hello everyone, first let me start with a huge thanks to all the mods, specially Slamon Buffalo for their hard work. I know that a lot has happened since the game was released and probably no one expected for this game to have this much controversy/possible categories in its first week.
With that being saidI think the Mega Poll is a great idea to try and consolidate everyones thoughts, however there is one think that I believe shouldn't happen, make the "non WSG" categories the "main categories".
At almost the very end of the poll it stands that if Non WSG becomes a think, those would be the main categories... I am not against Non WSG, but making those the main categories? Why and why I feelthat is the only decision that could be taken so arbitrarely?
Here is my reasoning as to why WSG should be allowed in the main categories:
1.- It is not even a glitch, it is mostly and exploit and it doesn't lead you to other glitches as stated in some sections (skipping boss phases is not a glitch, it just means that you did a lot of damage which can also be done with charge shot and supers)
2.- It does not cause Carpal Tunnel or any other health issues (Not sure how people doing this claim are trying to do it but mashing in an optimal way in an xbox 360 controller is definitely not hard neither causes any pain, I have the weapon swap button in RB or R1 and it is pretty simple to do a decent WSG)
3.- Non strat should be removed just to "make people more competitive". If we are under those standards we could very well do the main category to complete Isle 1 and thats it so that no one has to deal with harder bosses and therefore everyone could be competitive without grinding.
I believe this could be compared as to removing Whistle Sprint in Breath of the wild or even not hitting the angle buttons while running in super metroid because its "boring" or "tedious" (those 2 are mashing strats that would let you specifically go faster through the game, none of those are considered glitchess and both of those were definitely not intended by developers)
4.- Almost every single shooter involves a lot of mashing, seriously, it is good that we have autofire, but have you seen a Contra 1 optimal run? and Metal slug 3 optimal run? both of them include a lot of mashing, specially Contra 1, the base stages need you to do a rythm mashing and then keep that mashing for the rest of the lvl so you don't lose your rythm, that thing its crazy hard and I do believe that could cause some health issues on the long run... nothing compared to WSG seriously.
At the end of the day I will run whatever end up being the so called main categories and is No WSG ends up there due to community choice, then so be it, but please and I really mean it pleaaaaase don't end up banning WSG from the main categories for the reason "so people could be more competitive".
Thanks a lot everyone for reading, have a nice day! :)
There should definitely be something similar to clear all stages/bosses as well as something similar to all coins I guess
Hello, I really enjoy bk 100% runs (thanks Dick!) And I want to learn the game, however my only viable option right now is the 360 version.
So my question is this, does the FFM trick to have all abilities learned exists in 360? If so how is it done?
I was not able to find anything about it and top 360 run on the leaderboards show "FFM yes" but it is not shown on the run itself.
Thanks!
Hello,
I am currently working in optimizing the strats for every enemy encounter, and I find that Leonardo overall acts are not hard to optimize.
With that being said, is it possible to change the time start rule so that the run begins whenever you choose "a turtle" instead of Leonard specifically?
It would be more optimal for the reser heavy turtles and ir shouldn't affect the existing runs because you still need to go through every act with every turtle.
Thanks!
Hello, I am new to actually trying to speedrun a game and this is the first one I've learned (any% all metroids), however, I don't know where people like Naatiska, DruidVorse, John, EOD, etc discuss any new strats or try to come with new routs if there is any place at all.
I tried to join the discord but it seems kind of daed to me, close to 0 activity almost, any suggestions on where this discussions might happen?
It would be cool to have a little more active place even if there is only a few people as long as it is somewhat more active.
Thanks!
