Hello everyone!
I have had this idea for a speedrun contest for probably four years now. And I think I finally have a practical contest of which, the prize would be The Gecko Set!!!
The general idea of this contest would work like this:
Each month, I will choose three maps for players to speedrun. The runs will be recorded and times will be submitted. The sum of the three times will be the player's "Sum of Best" (SoB) time. This is what will be compared with other players.
Flow of the contest
Players will record their best times of the three chosen maps. All glitches, and hats* are fair game. However, the player is restricted to only use 150 stat points (or the amount of stats a rank 0 player could use).
*All hats except cowboy and artifact
after the videos are submitted, the player with the lowest (or fastest) SoB time, will be declared the winner, and will receive the first prize, "Gecko Feet." Then, if the player wins a second time, will receive the gecko body, third, gecko head, and for the fourth time, will receive the epic upgrades for each of the gecko parts.
Also, there is no target time for the maps, each player is individually responsible for routing the chosen maps. They will discover their own glitches and tricks to save the most time. Now obviously I do not intend for each person to TAS different stats and see what stats make it easy to corner glitch, low jump, or whatever. So I will post an excel spreadsheet that contains a variety of stats and other helpful pr2 information to make it easier for players to design their own route to get through the map.
Rules
1) Players must only use 150 stat points when speedrunning a map
2) All runs must be recorded, and stats must be shown prior to the run
3) The runs DO NOT need to be consecutive, as the goal is to get the best time possible
4) All glitches and hats are fair game (With the exception of cowboy and artifact)
Please let me know what you guys think, and if the mods and admins are okay with it, maybe we can get this ball rolling!
