wow Ark has done a 22% run? i didn't know that Ark is THAT good in prime.
also, you forgot to put CALFoolio's 1:46 Any% segmented which was the very first run (how could you forget that historical run?) and CALFoolio's 100% 2:19 and Hard 100% 2:49. actually CALFoolio had beaten his 1:46 and improved it to a 1:39 according to this page (which i didn't know either that he improved his 1:46):

Ok so I deleted all of Fepic Ale's times since apparently they're bogus.

I legitimately didn't know about Zoid's extra times. I just went through that thread and entered all the times I could find. I also searched through the Internet Archive for any time that are still people's personal bests.

To clarify, I need to add:

1:07 PAL Any% Segmented - MPZoid (2011-08-13)
1:12 PAL Any% SS - MPZoid (20xx-xx-xx)

Is that correct? Can I get a date on the SS run?

Thanks for the info about CALFoolio's times. I "forgot that historical run" because it wasn't in the thread and I certainly wasn't in the speedrunning scene in 2003.

Also if anybody wants to volunteer to go through those 12 GameFAQs topics to find more times, feel free to do so... *someone please do this so I don't force myself to*

not to rain on anyone's parade, but i don't think this leaderboard needs to be a historical record. it's not like it needs to contain every single time reported on the internet ever. i assumed that leaderboards are more a thing for current runners so they can see how they compare against others. i guess putting old times at the bottom of the list doesn't hurt though, but whatever.

agreed, it's cool to have a record of notable runs but i don't see a reason to list absolutely everything.

These leaderboards are not readable. If you could have buttons that sort out various times like Single segment vs seg, version, difficulty, etc. (similar to zeldaspeedruns), and just have any%, 100%, and low% sheets for each game (and frigate for prime 1), it would be more readable.

Also, casual playthrough times should only be added on request. It seems pretty silly to add a 8 hour time just because you found it in the post your times here thread.

Yes, I agree, having it like ZSR would be the best. I unfortunately have no experience with websites.

Maybe something like the SMG leaderboards might work where there are multiple docs, and one central doc linking everything. Bombch.us/9V

I'll work something up.

I did some color-coordinating and added a another rank column for SS only.

I have a 3:56 (from the Trilogy race) in Metroid Prime 3, might as well throw that in there.

I haven't been including Trilogy times in the list

Quick question, as there are updated times coming in, should I just try to keep both the threads and the excel sheets updated? Skull gave me permission to edit it (though I haven't done anything yet).

Quote from Skull64:

I mean that I have a 3:56 in Metroid Prime 3 Corruption (that I got during that race). Or are you saying runs of Corruption on Trilogy are not allowed?

TheMG2

2014-08-07 08:50:40 pm

Uh. Why would you include player's choice and not trilogy?

Skull64

2014-08-08 10:50:20 am

Because PC is the same game and Trilogy isn't?

TheMG2

2014-08-08 12:38:51 pm

What do you mean? Isn't player's choice just a different version of prime 1? Why would you include it and not trilogy versions? Trilogy is just a different version.

loving low%

AFAIK MP3 and MP3 on Trilogy-MP3 aren't 100% the same. IIRC there's one room that has a somewhat different type of well screw it here's a link: http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Metroid_Prime_3:_Corruption_version_differences
What I remembered was reading about a difference between the MP3 and Trilogy-MP3 concerning that wall in one room in Elysia. The barricade is something else in Trilogy-MP3 than in the occasional MP3.
