Zfg vs RG about iQue

Runnerguy2489: english = most accessable; chinese = fastest, japanese = ???

zfg1: why play on eng instead of jp though if we want to use 1 version

zfg1: why force them to go slower

runnerguy2489: why would you want to force me to go slower?

runnerguy2489: this is speedrunning, it's about going fast

zfg1: because you're also hurting competition

runnerguy2489: no I'm not lol

runnerguy2489: no one was competing with me on english anyway

zfg1: but i thought you played on english because it was the most competitive?

runnerguy2489: I played on it because it was most accessilbe

Runnerguy2489: why are bingo races done on english?

zfg1: why arent bingos going to use ique?

runnerguy2489: because it's not the most accessible version

runnerguy2489: and for competition you want the most people to have access as possible

zfg1: but not at the cost of telling an entire community to fuck off

runnerguy2489: good thing that didn't happen...the JP players went and got english version no problem for our bingos

zfg1: races arent rtas

runnerguy2489: ok let's talk about RTAs then for a sec

runnerguy2489: I believe the goal of them is to go as fast as possible

zfg1: and i believe there needs to be a balance of going as fast as possible as well as encouraging competition

runnerguy2489: disagree...compete against yourself

zfg1: competing aginst yourself should always come first, but i dont think you should completely ignore compatition

runnerguy2489: speedrunning shouldn't sacrifce speed to make people feel better

zfg1: except when that speed hinders the competition of the entire speedrunning community

runnerguy2489: zfg idk why it matters dude...you and everyone else are just gonna ignore my times anyway and always have that, "well RG has the fastest time BUT..."

zfg1: there will be idiots who dont understand differences and think a shitty ique time is better than a good jp time

» thats what i dont want

runnerguy2489: last I checked there were other ique's available? probably only a little bit harder than a JP 1.0 cart

runnerguy2489: those same idiots don't know that a JP time might not be better than an english lagged out n64 any% time

zfg1: except since jp is pretty much the standard, that is pretty much always the case

runnerguy2489: maybe it's time for a new, faster standard then?

zfg1: if the new standard was easily accessible and helped competition then yes

runnerguy2489: english = most accessible, chinese = fastest, japanese = ???

runnerguy2489: jp is neither...why is it used?

zfg1: jp is the most accessible for the jp community and relatively accessible for eng community

runnerguy2489: loool

zfg1: im talking about jp in general, not just 1.0/for 100%

runnerguy2489: it's not like Wii's are gonna be around forever and everyone will have one that has VC capabilities

zfg1: w/e this is a stupid argument thats just going in circles

zfg1: i gtg

wooferz: ZFG gets frankerz'd
