The proper TSC backup is up and submissions are open and all such related things.

On the flipside, the official SEGA SRA rankings are now rendered useless, with an inauspicious 0:00:01 record on the first level (which eventually will show up here; it updates daily). Thanks to Action Replay and our less-than-scrupulous friends on the internet for ruining everyone's fun and aborting TSC's ascendance to mastery of the charts.

edit: A clarification. The 0:00:01s on the SRA rankings are not in themselves a cause for concern, as they're obviously false. Why they matter is as a proof of concept that the AR is an unmitigated force in the rankings, and with it come much more insidious effects - there's codes for "moon jumping" and infinite tension meter, which are much more damaging as it's basically impossible to tell apart a time using those codes and a time by the likes of SkyLights.

sbwsneakyedit: 0:00:01's have been removed effective 10/1 (to my knowledge). They did something right for once???

Should've known this'd happen. :( Way to fail, Sega.

Y'know maybe they'd get their heads out of their asses and remove silly low times like that.

But like Rolk touched on it's harder to stop things like infinite tension or moon jump (the former I'd think would be more damaging).

Time to call TSC as the unofficial official place to TA SRA...

As if it wasn't already.

Just how is it their fault exactly?

[Crowbar]

For not taking measures to prevent or fix it.

That's kind of moot now though because they actually removed the 0:00:01's.

It is their fault because they don't make the charts based on replays so they can check any dodgy times.

I have an AR but not SRA. If I do get it, I'd like to figure out how to input that code.
