I love YaBB 1G - SP1!
Hi guys.
I'd like to try my hand at a speed run, but since my game of choice is fairly obscure I'm doing the right thing and running it by the people here first.
So, the game is Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha. On PS1. Specifically, I want to run through the expert practice mode as fast as I can.
There are 19 characters, each with 16 "missions" to complete. My first thought was to sit down and record the whole lot in one go, but that wastes time in moving between characters and accessing the pause menu (once). So I figured 19 different segments would be good, since I could cut each character's time as much as possible.
That being said, would I be allowed to submit the 19 different segments on one tape or would you require 19 different ones? And since I live in Australia there might be an issue with compatability.
Secondly, the "success" animation for each mission only plays when the mission has never been completed before. Since this adds unnecessary time, if it's within the rules I'd like to complete the speed run on a file where all the missions have previously been completed.
Finally, since some missions are a simple matter of performing a super move, it's possible to chain several of them together. Which obviously cuts down on time. I assume it's within the rules to do this.
That's all I can think of right now. Let me know if a speed run is do-able in my situation.
