A fantastic update and one that required an absolute ton of effort I'm sure. Nice modern refresh, loads of great new features (with more to come I'm sure) and a sure sign that the site is prepared to last long into the future.

Congrats on the relaunch, and I hope there's not too many bugs to squash!

Google is your friend :)

You submitted the run 3 days ago. As per the submission page:

"Run approval may take 1-3 weeks in some cases."

Please have patience. We all moderate multiple boards and have lives (jobs, families, hobbies of our own etc.) aside from speedrunning.

Your run will be reviewed and verified in due course.

Hey! While mods like Hard Mode are a great challenge for players and speedrunners alike, it won't be added to this board as this is for base categories included in the game.

While it could be considered for the CatEx board, the liklihood is that it won't be added. Firstly, there needs to be clear demand from multiple people for a board/category to be added (with completed runs etc.), and while challenge runs are very entertaining, they don't always make the best speedruns.

Thank you for the suggestion, but as of right now, this won't be added here. However, you could always look to create a Google sheets document with times and links to videos for those that have completed it as a speedrun if you wanted to!

It's quick enough to glitch and softlock the game, that's for sure!

Claws gotta get that sweet sweet ad revenue 😏

LMAO. Without mouse wheel it's easily under 25 minutes

Nice use of macros.

Also I'd guess a possible auto-clicker and auto-aimer given the mouse literally moved to Livesplit off the game in a single frame and kept clicking to open the menu continuously despite you closing it over and over.

You also continuosly move the mouse in circles, I'm guessing to stop the cursor being thrown to different bits of the game window or livesplit without you wanting it to be.

Somehow guessing this won't be valid...

As per the game rules:

Any modification of game files is banned. This includes custom cat textures, and mods loaded at runtime such as a trainer.

I just want to give some appreciation to the mod team for Stray. With the verification embargo being lifted tomorrow, as a fellow mod for other games I know they're going to have ALOT of runs to verify in a short time period.

Thanks in advance for the work you have, and are about, to put in 💙

It's literally not this game. Entirely different engine 🤦‍♂️

No vid no did

Impressive times! If you have the old video, it's submittable, but everything else without a video is unverifiable.

As for the separate boards, that'll be down to the mods.

Seeing as Jaypin mentioned me in his video, I thought it apt to clarify exactly what we spoke about. Here is the full message log from our Discord DMs. This is LITERALLY all that was said by me.

Not sure why he felt it necessary to namedrop me as though I'd done something wrong. Though from what I can see, what he said in the video was factual as far as contacting me and me telling him I didn't know what was going on but would ask.

My involvement from here only goes as far as to enact a series-wide ban and run removal from any series I moderate, which meant rejecting all submissions from the Sonic 3 AIR boards (including CatEX and DA Garden) and Sonic 1 (2013).

From here: https://www.speedrun.com/knowledgebase/game-request-rules

Demos/Pre-release Versions/Prototypes If a page for the full-game is already present, we would suggest you send these requests to the moderators of the game in question, as they may add it as a category and avoid the need for an additional game listing. We may deny your request on the basis that we don't want two separate pages to track the exact same game, with the only key difference between the two being that one has less content or content of an earlier version. These are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Long story short, a prototype is highly unlikely to be added.

It's not considered a glitch. However my advice would be, on killing him, to move to the right completely so there is no chance of clipping into the ground. The signpost falls off screen but generally this is considered allowed for glitchless

This falls under iOS and is already included for Sonic CD (2011), Sonic 1 (2013) and Sonic 2 (2013)

"That's why I don't reply to every little comment."

Proceeds to do exactly that... LOL

"I don't even like the game to begin with. It's not the end of my world if this sub-category never gets set up."

Kinda seems like it is by how desperate you are to address every single little thing. Need to learn to chill dude! If you don't like the game and don't care for the board, stop requesting it. If it's on behalf of someone else, let them request it.

Better yet, go create a spreadsheet of the leaderboard! Nothing says it has to be hosted on SRC to be valid.

"You antagonize yourselves by entering into the discussion..."

Typical sociopathic behaviour - "it's not my fault I'm antagonising you, it's yours that you feel that way".

Seriously Crisco, do you write essays as a response to every little thing someone says? Does every little comment really need to be analysed in such a way?

Do you not see that everything you are doing is talking you further and further from getting the board you want? The mods are under no obligation to give you a board, regardless of whether conditions are satisfied or not.

All you're doing is antagonising people, and I can promise you, no one gets what they want by antagonising the people you need to do something for you. You're just going to give them reason to NOT do it!
