I think that score submissions be given weight in the rankings. Score is just as important as speed in many games-in some, its actually more important (a sub-2 minute Radical Highway doesn't always mean an 'A' rank). It requires a lot of skill to get a good score, and time isn't always the biggest factor in it. Score should be given an equal part in the rankings, so that a great score doesn't just give you a useless record. It involves just as much strategy as time-attacking, so it should be added to the rankings.

I agree with you, Blue Blaze.

Wow, I'm surprised there's so much support for it. Hm!

I so want score to make have some importance. I am tired of having no reason to try and improve at Sadv2 in the score department, and some of my best scores(such as 65*** on leaf forest 1 with sonic, if someone broke 30 seconds a score of 90,000 would be almost granteed).

I need to shave off 67 centiseconds

EDIT: hurray! got under 30 seconds :) It will be hard to reproduce again though...

No don't do that! That's wrong you know! Well at least thats what i think, it's a time attack site, if score will count in the rankings it will mess things up. Now there could be different cattagories like a Champ of the times in a game and a Champ of Ring/Score in that game. That would be better IMO.

If you do that then Rings and Scores should be seperate. Hmmm, not many people seem to think score attack takes any skill, but it does. And don't forget Bosses.

Yes, score attacking bosses. My score of 93,000+ on Robot Storm finally has a purpose :D
