Hi! I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in the creation of a boss rush category? I know that I would be interested in running it. Thanks!

I decided that the Min Death% category should join the ranks of the fallen among our (few) dead "buddies" because in many cases it and Any% runs were the same thing, and so it just seemed like kind of a pointless category to have

If anyone disagrees with this decision, I am completely open to discussion on the issue so please let me know

Why does that exist, there is no purple coins to collect and collecting all normal coins isn’t even required?

So I realized that you can cheat by showing a normal high score screen, and the rules were changed to require video, but that is not necessary. If a picture is shown like this: https://ibb.co/h6OutT then you can see if the person used a continue by looking at if the video resurrect is available and by the price of the resurrect.

What does that mean

So in the game Kirby: Star Allies, there is a widely supported idea for a subcategory for a category to be added, and nobody but the active mod (the other two are not active on the forums) have rejected it, all comments being supportive for the idea, except the active mod’s. Today I made a poll on if people think the idea should be added, and made a post with the link, but the mod said “No, I’m not adding it”, and locked the post. The mod has also rejected another widely supported idea, a Demo% category. The mod is very good otherwise, and quickly verified runs. Is this considered mod abuse, and if so, is it worth reporting, if so, where do you report it?

{Mod please pin this}

So it has recently been a debate on whether a category should be added for UC Sweet Breeze, so I made a poll to see what everyone thinks.

I decided it would be more appropriate to discuss changes to the game in its own thread, so I made this.

I changed the rules of all the categories to show the death count screen at the end, and to show the full run for the Boss Battle to prevent people from cutting out deaths. (This is possible because the music resets when you are revived, so you can just go back to whatever element you came in as, and the only levels that this is not possible are the ones that do not give you your previous element. With this new rule, this is avoided because we can count deaths to confirm that there is no cheating in a run.) I also said that preexisting runs are exempted from this rule, so our runs are still legal. I will delete this part if all existing in a category runs are obsoleted.

I mean without the toolbar or top bar, not just enlarged. Thanks!

So I realized that since you don’t have to submit video proof, then you can SR to the last checkpoint if you mess up. Is this allowed, or does this mean that videos should be required for runs?

Is premium allowed for speed runs? I’m just wondering because it would make dying a much smaller concern.

My run for Soul Melter was rejected because I accidentally put Sizzling Threat. Is there any way that I can resubmit that run or delete the it so that it doesn’t show that I have a rejected run on my profile?

Hey so I want to try speedrunning an iOS game, but the board wants an on screen timer. Does anyone know of any way that I can display a timer on the video either as I’m playing it or a way that I can edit a timer into the video next to/on the gameplay? Thanks!

I submitted a run for soul melter but forgot to change the character used to bomb, so if possible will a mod please change that?

I was looking for a capture card for my switch (and possibly 3Ds), but found that they were way more expensive then I am willing to pay. I saw ones around $20, but they only have the three plug setup (idk what its called) and one USB port. Will that work and/or do you guys know of any cheap capture cards that will work for the switch? (Cheap like sub $50, otherwise I'll just stick to recording my TV) Thanks!

Wtf how do you do that.

So I see Demolition14’s WR run of Star Allies Go uses Beetley, but why? (S)He also states in the description that Como might be faster, but what makes those two so good?

I wonder, if your ally dies, since the health of bosses increases with ally numbers, would your ally dying (and you not reviving them) allow you to do damage faster? Or would the enemy health stay the same because that’s what you started with, or do allies revive automatically at the end of the battle? If it does work, then would it make sense to do it, since you are the one doing the most DPS? I think the most optimal time would be; in Sizzling Threat- After the Pon and Con fight, and in Soul Melter- During the second phase of Void Soul (the first time you enter him), but I’m not sure if the enemy health will be affected since it is technically the same fight. If any of you think you know the answer to any of these or can test them please let me know!

Hey I was wondering who you guys use for the ultimate choice sizzling challenge, and do you use multiplayer? Thank you!

I’m on IOS, can I use the built in screen recording function on my phone to record? If not what should I use? Thanks!
