Undo not being able to record your switch!

You can either buy a capture card, or record it with a camera on your laptop/phone. This is what I did at a speedrunning event last month, just pointing a webcam at the screen:

Good idea! Here you go: https://www.speedrun.com/ae3mgs

Hey @TheQuizzmaster. Laika is indeed right in this!

But what you are describing, is exactly what is allowed. The general rule is, as long as you don't let go of the prop, you should be good! Because the act of grabbing something already gives you height.

What you quoted earlier:

Mouse wheel rebinds (so that you can quickly mash an input) or make 1 button do 2 things at the same time

Rebinding a mouse button to just do 1 action is fine.

Hey, I wrote out a whole message, but forgot to send. Whoops

Nice that you and your friend did a whole run! We did see your run, and are actually talking about this now, so expect results in a bit.

For future reference, it's in the rules on Speedrun.com that moderators have 21 days to judge runs. Please do start contacting us once we're closer in that range!

I think separating by switch vs pc isn't a bad idea. Here's reasons where there are some changes that I have for any% (or whatever that category is called now :p)

  • 1p2c (unsure if this gives double points yet)

  • mashing the 99 click box is awful. Or, broken of you change button presets.

  • call this skill issue, but there's a skill gap between pc and switch. Unsure which way, but mouse control ain't one of the 3 input methods the switch has. So to say.

I'll do a run later on to see if there's anything other noteworthy

Please watch a run. You'll very soon will see the difference.

Too lazy, not watching? Everytime yoy get a shine in fury mode, you damage the boss. And you skip fight 2 and 4 this way.

Keeping the leaderboards for IL's in sync with the game, even with replays, is such a time-consuming task for a game that isn't as active as most marios, that's honestly not worth it.

Whenever a run gets rejected, the mods have to give a reason. Check that reason so you have an answer for yourself.

Since it's not the goat technically.

HOWEVER, I just replied in another thread whether to allow the other goats (aka penguin) in runs. I'm up for debate , and if more people think that that in-game switcher is prime, I'd be up for allowing that in the future. The rules are the way they are because I compare it too much to the PC version.

Let's talk further on discord, is what I'd rtecommend;

The diff between MMO and say, Goatville are that MMO puts them in your face. However, I'm up for discussion whether to allow the already unlocked ones or not.

The reason it is how it is now, is that in Goat Sim on PC, there is a menu that allows you to preload, which in my head is synonymous with the switching here on mobile. HOWEVER, the big difference is that on PC, (and all other platforms), things stack. So you can have Uncle Goat, stinky goat and minecraft goat at the same time, whereas here that's not a thing.

Sorry I replied late. Please join the discord so we can have better discussions there!

Soo... why does this thread exist if you know the answer already?

Feel free to do speedruns of em. Or any idea you have, but we don't need leaderboards for that.

Hey!

If you unlock it during the run, it's all good to call it vailla still.

I think better names for the category names would be "NG" and "NG+", to show that with NG+ / Mutators that you have save-data from before.

I can only give you what I have; I have a retrotink, which is an expensive Component to HDMI scaler. But something cheap would work (do mind that it might cause delay). And that going into a capture card.

But if you want cheap; cheap av to hdmi scaler, cheap capture card. Maybe

Even I don't get lucky all the time. I copied someone of YT, and it's hit or miss.

I thought I'd do you a service to reclassify, as any% runs are usually shorter. But sure, I'll change it back if this is what you desire.
