SaGa Frontier – Points Leaderboard

I would like to reveal what I’ve been putting together for the past month or so. Introducing the SaGa Frontier Points Leaderboard! The goal of this leaderboard is to rank runners based on where they place in individual categories and award them points based on their placement in a category. As of writing, the maximum amount of points you can earn per category is 200.

Here’s the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Mbw_sZpCi4-ivy1kq8InMMZCkVxsPS3l/view?usp=sharing

I want to make it clear that I don’t want to be the only person who has control over this leaderboard. I want to have everyone from the community contribute to this and the Combined Leaderboard to best represent the community. I especially want moderators and leading figures of the community to have a lot of control over how everything looks and functions.

The formula for distributing points per category is as follows:

Maximum Amount of Points / Total Amount of Runs = Rate of Change

1st Place Points – Rate of Change = 2nd Place Points
2nd Place Points – Rate of Change = 3rd Place Points
…
Nth Place Points – Rate of Change = Last Place Points

I hope you enjoy it!

So I got 2 more PB’s in SaGa Frontier

Honestly, I completely forgot to post my Lute PB, so here ya go:

Anywho, I also just got a new PB in Riki’s Story. It was an okay run, but I lost 7+ minutes to RNG alone. I’m going to improve this run by a lot. Anyway, here’s the run:

I got another PB in Riki’s Story! 1:23:55!!!

So I saved all the time I said I would and shot up 4 places overall. I’m now 13th overall, but still 4th on speedrun.com cuz 3rd is a 1:09 by cha0s. I’m okay with this run, even though I made tons of mistakes throughout and was relatively slow with equips. It was under the estimate for SaGa 2020, so I’m happy I’ve already gotten to that point. Anyway, here’s the run:
