I think we can leave it with Any% and Any% Memory Corruption and I do like the idea of a tab for translation type.

So it would be
JPN(Any% Memory and Any%) as the main category
And
English(Any% Memory and Any%)
With Gaijin/2016 as variables instead of entirely separate categories if there isn't a huge difference.

If there is strong interest in Glitchless exclusive we can make that separate but I don't believe a Dynamo time actually beat the Glitchless WR.

So with the new trick traditional RPG enjoyers are definitely being left behind if they want to compete since the new style of run entirely breaks it.

Countdown already mentioned the idea of splitting with the new route and the old route with Dynamo. I'm not opposed to the idea but it may make more sense to have entirely glitchless vs glitched, but I would like to hear more on this.

As well I'm not sure how exactly to separate on different versions. The smartest I'd guess is combine the unofficial english ones and keep JPN on its own end?

It was brought to my attention that some players may be experiencing varying load times upon booting the game. To help make competition more fair for runners time will start upon first input which is the text at the start saying "Hi Sarah! We're so glad you could come on such short notice!"

Upon looking at the existing runs there already exists a slight difference so this should help

So I found a skip by mashing the confirm button. It allows you to INSTANTLY solve the Lights Out book puzzle to get the tree key and likely saves about 30 seconds over actually doing it.

Not sure! I think Steam has some natural settings on it

God this game really is awful isn't it? I'm down to make a split, Although we currently have 0 runners who aren't me so it might look a bit weird

@DaravaeDaravae I've had a submission for the game Harvester, in limbo for about 2 months now. I'm fairly certain both mods are no longer on SRC. One seems to be on twitter but has no way to DM them and they'd likely not maintain the leaderboard. Can I just get moderation for this?

So I ran a game recently called AMY, it's apparently a dead board since neither mod has been active in sometime. One has no contact info and the other seemed to ignore my message. Can I possibly get mod for this so I can verify both my own run and any potential runs in limbo? I moderate plenty of games already so it shouldn't be too difficult to pick up this mostly empty one @DaravaeDaravae

So PC is optimal for the standard Any% but realistically you can do No Major Glitches with any platform

I'm very glad it worked!

I just replayed the remake today and yeah that's the spot I believe. It was like a roundish lakeside? I'm not sure how consistent it'd be but it'd save a TON of time

So looking at the game as a whole it's pretty lengthy and the endgame levels are kind of insane. As a category I think a Hub 1 which ends the run on the first boss would make for an excellent category! I've done some test runs of this so far on PS2 and it's looking to be about a 25 minute run.

For clarity this begins on New Game selection and hits time at the end of the Benny Boss

At it's peak Dynamo is definitely faster, the issue is it MASSIVELY increases the runs difficulty so it isn't reflective of it's peak. The TAS with Dynamo has about a 40 minute run

So I just thought of something. We don't have a category that gets the games best ending where you have to go into the Labyrinth portion of the game and save So Young. It might possibly be worth making the glitchless category double dip with So Young for completions sake

Submitted! As well you may be able to make the set scenarios and the Any% RNG categories as one major category and make the difficulties sub categories to make sure the board doesn't get too messy.

Thanks for adding it!

So I was wondering for a dedicated category since it's usually decently stable to have an Any% for Extracurricular Activities since it's essentially the default main campaign that has some consistency.

If needed I have a run already done and I believe there have also been some done on Youtube

Honestly it should be valid, the whole steam version rule is a specific to prevent piracy. Although given the games nature there should be a bar of proof that you own it

So if I'm reading right it's have glitchless versions of 100% and Any%?

So I'm noticing most of the runners are using Axel. Is this solely because of his Armor stat+Special or is it a preference thing? From what I can tell Warthog or Mr. Slam would have comparable stats to Axel but they don't seem as used

I've also noticed that the Xbox 360 version has several advantages over PC, mainly because PC is prone to crashes very often

Why is the level leaderboard not separated in that case? It seems the board could just have them all together since it's not really different
