United Statesyes there should be no issue with using retroarch for this
at least I used it once a long time ago and I'm not banned yet so there's that
The any% WR is hilariously unoptimized, but yeah nobody wants to play it
hmmmmmmmmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Yeah if you look in Resources, there's "automatic timer" by Hubcapp at the top, for fceux. That's what I used. It embeds a timer and splits directly in fceux, it's not a livesplit thing.
There's also a random 5:57 with milliseconds as long as I've brought the topic up anyway 🤔
Cool, no worries, good to know for sure that you do already implement a cutoff (since I don't see it written in rules)
So I submitted a 5:04 yesterday and the mod who verified it added the milliseconds to the time, presumably because it was easy to do so since I was using the auto timer script. But the rest of the 5:04's (and the 5:03's and most other times for that matter) do not have milliseconds. The result is that the rest of the 5:04's are all tied, but then mine is sitting on its own at a worse position even though there's the possibility that it's faster than at least one of those other 5:04's.
I'm not going to bother arguing a bunch about this because I don't personally care about the difference between 70th and 74th place. But I just want to bring this up once because it's actually stupid to have one random time with milliseconds on it when the rest at that level are all rounded to the nearest second. Rounding things to the second and calling them "tied" is imprecise but still a perfectly correct way of ranking things. However, rounding some times to the second and some to the millisecond allows for literally incorrect rankings (e.g. a 5:04.999 is submitted as a 5:04 with no milliseconds and a 5:04.001 is submitted with milliseconds and so the 5:04.001 is ranked as a slower run on the board). Inconsistent rounding is nonsensical, especially for a leaderboard this dense; there should be a written policy of "things < X time all have milliseconds, things >= X time all don't have milliseconds".
You can set your controller settings to whatever. The full/circle thing doesn't matter because it's for analog and it's better to run the crash trilogy with d-pad. D-pad is better because of zigzagging.
Since you're new, I recommend joining discord, it's a more active place to ask questions than srcom forums. http://www.speedrun.com/crash/thread/vib53
Double jump is a glitch, and it's super easy to just do it by accident without even meaning to. Both playing and verifying glitchless would be annoying even if only for that reason.
retro, I think you seem to be mistaken about something. You're still saying that your run should be removed from the leaderboard, but I just looked at the leaderboard, and there is no run with your name on it.
Thanks and have a good night
It's pretty obvious to most people that wanting to keep your run up was never out of spite. People want the actual WR to be on the leaderboards, because not having a known WR on there is kinda against the purpose of having leaderboards. Anyway, it doesn't even have your name on it anymore, so lol.
You're welcome to grind and time your individual levels as you practice them as part of learning the game, but we don't need a leaderboard for that. How about instead, new people can have some patience and realize that it's okay to not have a time on a leaderboard before you've reached a point where you can submit a time you're satisfied with submitting.
When you ask for "a leaderboard for players that can't beat the entire game with a good time", what you're asking for is a leaderboard for players that can't beat an individual level with a good time either... ??
It's normal for a speedrunner to be scared of death. Deaths should be avoided in many speedruns.
And yet they don't do it every time >:(
