So today I completed a casual any% run on Twitch, I have turned the run into a highlight video and have tried to find a record time, the only time i could find which was unofficial was 04:29:13 (hh/mm/ss) my time completing the game was 03:08:42.

The game was Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards , I have 2 questions, question number 1 would be; Does anybody know if there is a current record for this game anywhere? If so could you kindly link me to it?
2) If there is not a record, does this mean I can get my record verified by staff/public and have it on the SDA, if so, how?

Here is a link to the video on twitch of the complete run : http://www.twitch.tv/frekle/c/2147125

Thank you.

Make sure you read the rules about capture methods, because Twitch highlights are 99.99% of the time not suitable as submissions.

00.01%? When has a twitch recording been remotely close to acceptable?

Maybe if there were 0 dropped frames for the duration of the run and the video was properly encoded to 60fps and didn't have splits? That'd be a rare find though I'm sure.

And doesn't have any runner talking so that the audio is pure.

And is at a sufficient bitrate.

It's theoretically possible, but I doubt we'll ever see it.

HELLO!

Don't forget you also have to be able to *download* it in that pristine condition, since uploading it to Youtube will certainly destroy it.

*stares at Zallard's avatar there. left-b, quick-dodge, high punch. Hmm.*

For a comment like that, I'm just gonna select that to be my only avatar. Now no one will be able to resist staring at it constantly.

Make it so.

He hasn't saved any of his broadcasts but a twitch user by the name of ThatRug has been doing some any% work on The Sacred Cards. I know he's got it sub 2 hours so I'd start by checking him out.

I don't know Zallard. I just stumbled over this just now and reminded me of your post.

I, too, find broken image links amusing. (put it on imgur imo)

Anyone else have info on the Sacred Cards?
I completed this game in 1:16:03. There's a run from GameTalkLive that beat it in 1:14:24

The race to making a submittable twitch highlight is on!

HELLO!

What would happen if a partner streamed an Atari game, full screen, only game audio, at very high resolution and 60fps?

I wonder if that would work.

current WR run of Sacred Cards

may use a few too many Kappas

The time has since been updated to 59:56--which I can only assume is timed from New Game start to acquiring The Winged Dragon of Ra because based on my timing (to fadeout in the final duel against Marik Ishtar), I timed it at 59:52.

I have jumped onto this game and have gotten down to 1hr 29min on actual hardware (via Yu-Gi-Oh! Double Pack). I'm not even sure I can count 30 minutes of mistakes in my run. Surely the text doesn't scroll faster on emulator, does it? That can't be right. I really need to optimize the shopping spree and menuing before trying to claim something so outrageous.

I have the same problem spenting an entire life in the menu.
I noticed the character doesn't run holding the B button in the World Record video. Is it normal ? If not, it could be a great optimization.
Also, during Odion battle, he keeps the Bolt penguins that are totally useless and have a high cost and we can see he had some troubles with it.
Finally the last battle is only based on luck with his deck. That's why I prefer use One-tribute monsters instead of Dark Magician (Yami Yugi drops Dark Magician Girl which is so more useful).

We can do it !

Editted : I got 1:17:18.39 from starting a New game to the last input (right before the end credits). I took a picture from WSplit (http://www.noelshack.com/2014-07-1392407349-yugioh-cartes-sacrees-0001.png) but I have no video beacause I play on the original GBA cartridge. I really can improve it as I lost 3 battles during the run, due to very bad hands at the begining of each one. I watched the WR may times but I don't know what could be modified to beat the game faster, except playing better during the duels.
