Generally, not having videos destroys any competitive community (I found my way here through videos). The fact is, that video proof is required for *every* single WR, which is a good. Everyone has to follow the rules, but they aren't enforced equally in all games. And that's what really ...annoys me, especially regarding GX Snaking. I care about that game, but I seem to stand alone with that attitude. The lack of proof totally killed the last bit of competition there - BattleStream hasn't submitted anything new in almost a year now. I mean....there is no excuse for not having a video in GX...(quality shouldnt be an issue when submitting a video, we're not SDA)... It's different in the other games....you may be too lazy to switch on your pc+grabber/set up your camera, because you just plan on playing like 30minutes or so....then you start playing and get a new PR(/WR loldaniel :D).... in case of a WR that shouldnt happen. But it does, and in my opionion it should be tolerated to some extent, but ~90%(maybe a too high percentage? but better too high than too low) of a player's WR should have *video* proof.... posting a pic with splits/total when a vid is missing is standard. The GBA games are again a different story, if you don't play using a Gameboy Player..... but this poll/thread is about SNES/X/GX.
tl;dr: X is fine. SNES can be fine. Noone except me cares about GX(snaking).
k :(
edit: lol didnt notice Fun's post....haha spent almost an hour on that little text i wrote xD
