Archive of Guillaume's deleted records in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
3 mensagem(ns) normal
Hello, I'm Ricci, I'm a speedrunner of the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games community. Firstly, I don't know if my request is valid for this thread, so, I'm very sorry in advance if this comes up as "off topic".
Recently, our community has been working on a very ambitious project to register accurate top 10 leaderboards for all Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games events + accurate WR history for these events.
Unfortunately, a lot of high level records performed between 2008 and 2014 got lost and weren't saved or archived, and that includes a lot of Guillaume B's scores for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii) + (DS). Guillaume was a VERY good Mario & Sonic player, holding world records in all 10 Mario & Sonic games (from 2008 to 2020).
As I was researching through the Wayback Machine, I found out that Guillaume had actually submitted some records to vgr-fr (the old domain of this website). However, it wasn't possible for me to access the scores. Later, I believe Guillaume deleted his account (or got banned) around 2013 or 2014 according to the Wayback Machine, and, with that, his records were also purged and lost.
I come here asking if it's possible to find private archives of the vgr-fr leaderboards in the past (like, an archive of the rankings made and saved by moderators between 2010 and 2014). That way, it might be possible to discover high-level records performed by Guillaume that we never knew of.
I know this is a very ambitious request, but I kindly ask for you to take it into consideration, as it could help our community a ton.
Thank you for reading
Video Games Records - Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games -> Archive of the Mario & Sonic (2008 Wii) that shows Guillaume in number #1 of the overall leaderboard (but it doesn't show the individual scores of each event).
