red chamber dream
oh, i've never actually looked at the leaderboards
only one metroid time matters to me anyway (prime any%)

skull64 it might probably be a better idea to add the elapsed times to the frigate times as well. for example:
Rank: Time: Runner:
1 4:33.85 remaining (2:26.15 elapsed) T3
i think this would look much better, and people not so familiar with the metroid prime frigate escape could understand the frigate escape times better, don't you think so?
Rank: Time: Runner:
1 4:33.85 remaining (2:26.15 elapsed) T3

i'm not so sure. afaik the frigate escape starts at 7:00 but the timer shows up after ~3-4 seconds (i guess at ~6:56/6:57 the timer shows up but i think it's logical to think that it started at 7:00 even though it shows up a little later). so i just calculated 7:00 - 4:33.85 = 2:26.15.
am i wrong?

i think the fact that the timer doesn't count the first 2 seconds but the games in-game timer probably still counts it (and it really counts) shows that referring to the remaining timer in the first place would be stupid. i think we should start referring to the calculated elapsed timer in the first place then. player A can still be faster than player B during the first 2 seconds but the remaining timer doesn't count it. that's kinda stupid..
I have created a new version of the leaderboards which only include SS runs for Any% and 100% and only include NTSC runs for Prime 1. Segmented runs are still tracked for Low%, although categories such as Prime 22% and 23% and Echoes 7% have been removed. Don't worry, the original leaderboards still exist in the same place.

Let me know if anyone would prefer if this new version replaced the old version as the public version of the leaderboards.

MP2 also a bit MP1 speedrunning
That speedrun rankings point system makes no sence. How the hell does kirby have twice as many points than me lmao.
I could probably beat his 1:27 in 2 weeks and it gives him so many more points than my any% time. (admittelly my any% time is not much better cause fcking spider shafts but still, its harder to beat than kirby's 1:27 i think.)
Also, ranking peoples purely because of their pbs doesnt make sence, people can be much better than others in a game even though their pb is worse. (ive had that discussion in the sm64 community before....)
Also, how is the mp2 wr less worth than the mp1 record, i dont think thats much easier to beat...
And i didnt know miles ran any% in mp3. The mp3 wr also gives way too many points. Why do you rate doing 6/21/17 % i could do each of those. Why the hell does 21% give you 600 points it is not hard to do. Same for 6%. i could finish both in less than 2 days.
Cool that youve added a new split up list though.
Edit: something that would encourage runners to do segmented runs would actually be not splitting the list up, i would like to see more segmented runs honestly, so maybe it is a good idea to keep the old list.

Well considering I regularly beat everyone in 100% races that has a slower PB than me, and regularly get beaten by everyone who have faster PBs than me...
I don't think anyone disagrees that the ranking system is generally pretty arbitrary but it's also hard to find some objective manner of ranking it. I recommend not taking it that seriously, the goal of it is to lay out a simple table of what every regular prime series streamer does.
