run: Pikmin

Magnificent run!

United Statesdavidvkimball2 years ago

@SukeSJ Completely understand! Hoping for his sake it works out, but either way appreciate your responding despite SRC notification quirks ha! I also just submitted my run from Saturday, where I accidentally paused for about 27 seconds. But the frames are constantly displayed on-screen so hopefully there shouldn't be much issue there. Cheers!

Hey @SukeSJ, Pablo's PC crashed in the middle of his run. If he correctly documents the real time it took to power back on and continue his run, could it still be valid? VODs are up on his channel rn you can see for yourself. I just want to try to give him a heads up about it as soon as I can, because I wouldn't want him to continue another run that's invalid.

@Nordanix Thank you for suggestion and approving the run. I'll be creating a mini documentary about this category for my YouTube channel!

@Nordanix thank you! I will once it's been approved!

I just got sub 19 hours in this run on console, the current world record!

I submitted my run, but accidentally submitted the VOD instead of the highlight.

Can this be used instead?

@SukeSJ - it's a joke! 😂

Check out my VERY REAL and LEGIT sub-30 second All Trophies run.

I can definitely save a few more seconds probably.

I dub this category Debug%.

I've talked to 1221 who's also ran this category and he's in favor of allowing the Master Hand glitch for this category. Open to anyone else's thoughts.

If the Master Hand glitch is still banned, there's always the much-harder-to-perform Ice Climbers freeze glitch method.

@aMSa Hey!! I saw your charity stream run and was very impressed. Congrats on the first console run for it. The concern at this moment is Melee's rules for this category forbid the use of the Master Hand glitch, but I don't think it should invalidate your run. Hopefully a moderator will consider revising the Master Hand glitch rule just for this category.

The main issue I have with using Dolphin 5.0 specifically is this issue:

https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/9486

Randomly inputs trigger and it's very annoying. For some reason this doesn't affect all users, and it has to do with libUSB / Windows driver fighting. So I think I'll do my attempt on Wii if I can.

@Nordanix, one more thought. Are controllers like the b0XX allowed or expressly forbidden? It would make dash dancing a heck of a lot easier for generating the 1000 coins needed for the All Trophies run. Also begs the question, what about using keyboard for emulation for this part?

@Nordanix Thanks, that helps bunches!

If I were to run this on console, would it be measured against emulators too or get its own section?

United Statesdavidvkimball2 years ago

I want to run this. Are there distinct disadvantages to doing this on console, I'm assuming like load times? Dolphin 5.0 just loads matches faster...

United Statesdavidvkimball2 years ago

This is just speculation on my end, is it possible the demo codes will eventually not work years from now?

United Statesdavidvkimball2 years ago

@astrolite thanks for the response! What a shame, I didn't think I'd be wanting to speedrun this game before I played it. 😅

United Statesdavidvkimball2 years ago

I'm thinking about running this game, but I have the cartridge version, and not the digital one. Will I bet at a significant disadvantage?
