Just a thought you might as well ignore

So, with the recording function, it's obvious that you can record neverending amount of possibilities and challenges and even in certain amount of time with the built-in time right on end-of-match screen, making it possible to even compare times of the certain challenge and beat a time of someone else who previously achieved it but slower. Could there be created some sort of thread or maybe even a site dedicated to that? It would require a lot of thought to get such a thing running in organized fashion, and you might as well with enough time invested in make active LF2 speedrunning of some sort.

You could get literally neverending amount of possibilities in VS mode if you consider every character vs other character(s) (mostly likely CRAZY difficulty so it doesn't get way too diversive) as category.


Just for comparison, this is speedrunning site of doom (you can trace me there as "j4rio").

It's just for general idea rather than serious comparision.

So much for insightful replies.

Anyway, here's independant knight vs 7 coms in party. Figured I'd just post here. Feel free to post here your achievementish lfrs if you have any, I noticed a bunch of threads below so would be better if such stuff is coupled in one thread, unless there is one which I overlooked.

Why not contribute to Kevin's recording collection? Also, if you're willing to do a speedrun of Stage Mode, that would be submittable to http://speeddemosarchive.com, which Wikipedia and TVTropes think is the biggest speedrun website. The only mention on speeddemosarchive.com of LF2 is one abandoned thread. I'm not sure if "no replies for 5 months" means "this game is too obscure for speeddemosarchive.com".

Yeah, I know SDA but they have very special requirements to categorize official stuff and I believe LF2 would end up in unofficial achievements subforum, which isn't all that popular to be worth a bother. I thought of something for LF2 community rather than reknown official speedrun sites. Considering activity and frequency of achievements done here, a simple sticky thread would be enough. A site sorting that would have been of use if thread gets long and annoying to be searched through, but even that's quite unlikely to happen anytime soon. Oh, and in any case, I'm hardly the one to go with something at SDA, I'm just an average player.

I haven't gone through threads below, but from what I see, it's a slight little bit of a mess. But I'll check through.

Well, I guess now we have the recording collection, which I hope pleases you. You were probably thinking of something where you just upload your recording and the system automagically figures out what to do with it, but I don't know how to implement that on Wikia. So if anyone wants to start speedrunning, make a section and start adding your stuff. I'll probably try to beat it. I also wanted to say that Kevin has you thoroughly beat for both time and HP lost: http://lf2.wikia.com/wiki/File:Knight_heroes.lfr :P
