This has most likely been suggested before but would it be feasible to have Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert categories for speed runners, and their speed runs?
Wherein if you're a beginner, you can hold the best run in the Beginner category of a game in comparison to other beginners, and the same for the Intermediate and Expert categories. And when you surpass the time of someone in a higher category, you would then go from Beginner to Intermediate, and the same for those doing so in Intermediate, to then go through to Expert.
It might be a pain to manage though, and to figure out what time would indicate which category a speed runner is ranked under, among some other things I probably haven't thought of.
What does everyone think about this concept?
Hi!
I'm not a speed runner but over the years I have watched runs of games, here and there. I edit tribute videos to horror movies on my YouTube channel. At some point I want to do Let's Plays of horror games, and who knows, maybe I will record speed run attempts of horror games as well for the channel too.
