The discord has created a new poll in which we are voting to determined whether or not we ban Guests characters. This is somewhat crucial since some runs might be taking down from the Leaderboard. The poll will end on August 12th, 2020.

Please, don't forget to vote and thank you for always supporting the scene.
I'm tagging everyone who has submitted a run in Soulcalibur II NTSC, JAP, and PAL since those are the versions that will be affected. Keep in mind that the HD Versions are not dealing with this because they have the same roster.
Affected Runners - People who have a run(s) with Guests characters.

Note: If we ban the Guests characters, then the runs with Guests characters will be remove from the "Full-game Leaderboard." As of now, I can tell you that some of those runs will be kept in the "Level Leaderboard" section. Currently we are only tracking "Standard Arcade" and "Extra Arcade." I don't know if it is possible to add the Time Attack categories in this section because Time Attack has multiple categories, so please keep in mind that there's a possibility of dropping some Time Attack runs completely from all leaderboards.
I know that the website has gone thru a lot of changes, but most of these changes are meant to balanced out the competitive level of a very RNG heavy game. Some people know that I went against the "separating the NTSC, JAP, and PAL versions" stuff a couple of months ago and although I don't regret going against it, I can sincerely tell you that it was a good change since the main version (NTSC) has seen a little increase in new runners, which makes me happy for the community. Lastly, if we precede with the ban, I really hope that those runners that are being affected can submit another run and keep their legacy in the website. Thank you once again for taking your time in reading this. I'm just trying to inform everyone so that this does not come as a surprise later on.
