Hello!

Despite the negative consequence of inflated CE/(w) exchange, would anyone like to celebrate the Elevator Passes promotion with me by recording speedruns of the entire Clockworks? The prominent SK-YouTubers should have a blast (potentially an idea for an Official OOO Full Cradle Run Contest to promote the new passes?).

More than likely, it will degenerate into a boasting competition, but watching the raw video results should be really fun. I like to enjoy watching speedruns of SNES games on the internets, and this game's heart is rooted in the SNES era.

Would you guys like to help group-brainstorm some stipulations, such as dividing the speedruns into the traditional categories, like:
Least Damage
Fastest Time
No Vitapod
No Shield
100% Monster Destruction
etc.?

Have fun!

Remove fastest time since

Remove fastest time since it's a matter of luck, depending on wich levels show up, no skills at all.

Good point!

Good point! But maybe we can just not assign much value to luck-involved things.

One can argue that it takes a certain kind of meta-skill to pick and choose the potentially fastest gates, or time individual stages so that the optimal stages appear next. That would make the "Fastest Time" category dependent on one's experience with strata and their ability to predict levels and their layouts, which would make it a valid contest of a skillset. I think that though it is not necessarily fighting skill, it's still an aspect of the game that one gets better at as they play, right?
