Got it added 👍 how many levels are there and does it have level select like the others?
I'm looking for someone to be mod, preferably an active runner. It has been so long since I played this game and no longer run it. Hit me up if interested.
I added the Atari 8bit family to the categories. Let me know if there is anything else I can add or need to change as I am not familiar with the Atari versions
Great information! Go for it! The board is yours
Yes I use Yua to retime them. Although I have not done that to any runs on this board. I'm ok with any method you choose, like you said we need consistency. I took obiiwan's time at face value so it may need to be retimed for accuracy based on the timing method chosen.
Edited Sacrieon's time based on site adding a leading 0 to milliseconds
The -5.51 is also based on Yua frame counting from button press at stage select screen to first frame Batman moves.
This has been completed. Going forward make sure to include milliseconds ⏱
Good idea! I will do this as soon as I have extra time, tonight for sure. Also, if anyone would like to be a mod I am willing to hand it over to them as I'm not running this game at the moment. Thanks!
I don't know how that works, I'd like to know myself. Wonder if mods of the series have to add it in. I requested to be mod of a series once and I was told it doesn't work like that so I don't know.
I think that would be a good idea since a lot of these runs are going to be less than 30secs it may come down to milliseconds
I think that's a great idea. Let me know what categories and rules you were thinking for each and I can create them
Unless Star_fox can just give you mod status
Can we get separate categories for SMS and GameGear? Although very similar, I think there are enough differences to warrant different categories
I agree that it should be geared towards hardware over emu. But since original runs at 50 that pretty much makes using an emulator mandatory outside of Europe. I also agree that we should keep existing runs because we can definitely make separate categories if we want/need. Your thoughts?
Requesting to be added as moderator to the Wolfchild SMS page https://www.speedrun.com/wolfchild_sms. I have a run to be verified but the current mod has not been active for 3 months. I have tried to reach out through other mediums but the mod has not replied back.
Thanks in advance
Hi Zwataketa, The blessed weapon trick is you use a weapon strengthen scroll on a cursed weapon and it cleanses the curse and makes it super powerful.
In my opinion this trick isnt worth doing in a speedrun and here is why:
- the game is highly randomized, each floor, potion, scroll, weapon drop, etc changes every new game. So there is no telling when or where a cursed weapon and strengthen scroll will appear. Plus with each type of weapon (lance, sword, axe) having their own type of stats I dont know if it would be worth doing on the Skull Lance because it has low attack damage vs the Golden Axe and you may be waiting a while to see the Golden Axe drop.
- The blessed weapon trick will not work in conjunction with the unarmed axe damage trick which is equip an axe, drop it, and pick it up again but dont equip it and you will fight with better accuracy and the strength of an axe and you have to do this on every new floor to get the buff. With the cursed weapon if you drop it and pick it back up it becomes cursed again. So you'd need to cleanse it every floor. You could wait to use the blessed weapon trick until you get to final boss but then you'd be losing a second or two cleansing the weapon when you could be jabbing the dragon's face off.
In summary, with the unarmed axe trick being a must have I dont think it is worth doing in a run. But this is just my opinion and I havent done extensive testing to warrant it a viable option.
Hope this helps!
Oh hell yeah, I made you a mod in case you can get to it before I do. Thanks for letting me know.
Requesting to be added as moderator to the California Games Series https://www.speedrun.com/California_games and https://www.speedrun.com/California_games_2. I have a new category and a new run I would like to submit, but the current mod has not been active here or Twitch for over a year.
Thanks
