Thread: New Category for NG Riki/Kunio

Started by: DavyinatogaDavyinatoga

Just voicing my support for a new leaderboard category to be created for the glitch run that uses the boys in NG mode. I already have a run ready for submitting, and it seems that there needs to be more support here before it'll be implemented.

For those unaware, GroveAether and rubbertoe64 discovered that you can access a fresh file NG as Riki if you press the Confirm and Cancel buttons at the same time when selecting your character to start the run. Getting player 2 to jump in starts them as Kunio, though I found that you can start 2-players immediately if you also press Right when pressing the other two buttons to confirm MISAKO ONLY (while it's still selecting 1P), then holding either Confirm or Command button through the loading screen.

In this mode, the prompts for getting quest rewards (XP, money, equipment) still pop up, but the boys DO NOT actually get them. The girls in reserve will still earn those rewards as they do when playing normally, but the girls won't earn anything from enemy drops (as expected). This greatly limits the amount of cash earned for shops and puts Riki and Kunio about four levels behind at the end of the game.

The Discord community hasn't picked a name yet, which may be a factor to delaying the category creation. So far suggestions have been
- New Game Minus
- RCR Any%
- Boys% / Shota%
- Crash% / Street Challenge
- No Quest Rewards

"Low%" isn't a viable name since the boys can earn enough money to buy food and moves (but, if a Low% in the future should ever get a leaderboard too, playing as the boys would def. have to be a requirement). If there are any other suggestions or if people want to push a current option, then let's get a name and a couple more runs for this in the hopper so we all can start getting official bragging rights for it!
