Not entirely sure on the multiple runs thing, but I would think so.

I would say time stops when they surrender.

Sure, added it.

Thanks for the list, I just put up what was on the wiki haha. I've replaced it with your list.

Sure thing, let me know if you want any other categories.

Hey link_7777, if you would like to add new categories that feature ROB or anything else just let me know and I will add it.

I agree with ShowerGuru in that speedrunning in itself is completing games as fast as possible, even if it's the easiest way and not a "proper" way. I would also advise you try to be more professional in the future and not discredit someone else's run.

Yeah gonna stick with beginner for now, a lot of games use lowest difficulty unless there's lots of people playing, so we'll stick with that precedent for now. If tons of people show up submitting runs, I'll add different difficulty subsections.

Hey a12helton, nice job on the run. Can you crop it so only the run is in the video or that it starts at the time when you begin?

Yeah I agree, I added the no bonus points part to the rules, as it would just be tedious gathering points.

Hey a12helton. I think you make some great points!
1. Done. When first routing this game, I actually fought until I remembered the threaten option, which turned the game into complete RNG, so I agree on this.
2. Custom characters allow for specific setups (ex. Wired Gloves/Lu Bu's/Xu Shu's Musou/Yue Ying's rage for super quick rage and musou). However, I will add a subcategory for custom characters, but only the player can be a custom character (in order to prevent someone theoretically creating a bunch of weak custom characters and having them replace the normal ones).
3. Sounds like a very tough and RNG heavy category if you mean going through each specific rank (Free Officer->Officer->Prefect->Marshal/Strategist->Ruler) as frequently you are promoted past a position. If you mean just starting the game as a free officer and finishing as a ruler, that category can be added if you want.

I'm not 100% sure as I don't own a PS4, but you could try asking in the forums of games like Ratchet and Clank or The Last of Us.

1) The Shower Guru and I have observed this too and started using it on our runs, dubbing it the "PP Clip". We're still working on clipping through hazards.
2) I agree, it almost seems RNG where you go. But we've done testing on it and it would seem you're right, where you go it slightly dependent on what angle you hit the puddle. It's a risky strat using it in a run but looking to be viable, we've dubbed it the "PP Slide", as seen in Shower Guru's guide.
3) We've done testing to see if we can manipulate where the dads spawn but to no avail. Dads spawn on hazards, powerups can spawn on top of you, dads can spawn almost on top of each other, it's completely RNG.
4) We're still working on data mining for the game, we'll let everyone know if we find anything useful.
