Lets see if we can get this moving
In the speedrunning world, there is Cave Story. People have been racing this game for a while now, and I was one of them. The basic scenario is that we play on the original japanese language, with japanese letterings, and not random words. To set this up on windows 7, go into control panel, clock, language, and region, region and language, admininistrative, and change system locale to Japanese. This makes some programs turn into japanese lettering, but most of the time, it will show in english for most programs, and will allow Cave Story to use these japanese letters. The reason that we do this, is because it saves about 5-6 minutes of text.
The category that I do is Best Ending, and Blade race. For blade race, we start our timers as soon as we press "new game" on the main menu, until we grab the blade itself. For best ending, we start our timers at new game again, until you see the scene after you deal the final blow to the best ending's boss
The current world record is 57:28 by magmapeach. It would be nice to get this going, seeing as there hasn't been another race in a while. A great video to learn more is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXvC7BCcorg . Thanks for taking the time to read this.
