1-Up!
edit: Single-segments with resets are now accepted globally so it's no longer limited to only the games previously listed in this thread.
That's right, folks! SDA is now officially accepting submissions of what many of you call "RTA."
Why aren't you calling it RTA, then?
Good question. RTA, or Real Time Attack, encompasses any run completed in a single session. Many of our members use the term RTA to specifically discuss runs that are completed in a single session and utilize resets. By definition, many of our existing SS runs on the site already qualify as RTAs. However, we don't want SS runs with resets to compete directly with those that don't reset. This is why we aren't using the term "RTA" even though it's widely used to describe the same thing. We're going to call these runs "Single Segment with Resets."
Okay, fair enough. Can I submit a Single Segment with Resets run of any game I want?
No! In many instances, a Single Segment with Resets run will differ only slightly from a normal SS run. We want to avoid redundancy. If I don't think that a Single Segments with Resets run will save a significant amount of time over an ordinary SS run, then I won't allow a run with resets to be submitted. PC games will also be considered on a case-by-case basis, but many games with the "save anywhere" function will need a very compelling reason or else it's getting shot down.
Hey, that makes perfect sense! Where do I go to see if my game is eligible for a Single Segment with Resets category?
Right here! The purpose of this thread (besides announcing that these types of runs are now accepted) is to decide which games are deserving of this extra category. If you think your game would benefit from a SS with Resets category, simply post with the name of the game, along with a brief write-up of how time is saved over an ordinary SS run and approximately how much the time difference is. I will then ask questions if necessary and decide if your game should have an extra category or not. Also, please don't suggest a game unless you truly intend to run it!
