Battle Factory Event FAQ

      Battle Event Factory FAQ

Q: What is the Battle Factory Event?
A: So a good while ago, JTMagicman ramped up a bounty for completing the Battle Factory Open Level where you get the gold print. You can see it here: https://pastebin.com/MqXBPGY2

Since then, many people attempted it, and Battle Factory runs become a popular thing within the community.

But so we decided at some stage more recently to do an event where we all attempt it together at once. For some good ol fun.

Q: How does the event work?
A: Well you can't exactly 'race' it, so there are specific rules.

The aim is to get the highest streak possible in the time frame provided. All participant have 2 hours where they may restart any attempts, after which they will have to complete the streak they are on. You have 5 hours to complete you final attempt (though it will never take that long).

This one will be done at Level 50, Single Battles. No RNG Manipulation is allowed.

Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator?
A: No, I'm playing on a 3DS with a capture board installed allowing me to record game footage.

Q: What is WR?

Q: What is with those split icons? What does A and B mean?
A: This is a grading system for all of my splits. I'm sure you are familiar with grades, A+ being the best then going down from there. So the idea is, if the split has an A+ next to it, my time there was really good and would be very difficult to beat. If it's a C though for example, it was quite poor, and I should be able to save time there pretty easily.

This way, everyone watching has more accurate information on where I can save time, and where I should be making up time. Also that all time loss is not equal, as losing time vs an A+ split isn't really that bad, whereas losing time vs a C split is really bad. It'll probably take a while for a lot of people watching to pick up the meaning so I will appreciate everyone who explains how this works (correctly) in chat to new people.
