Hi everyone. I am new here and I'm not sure what I need to do to submit for a possible new category for CV2. I played thru the game a few years ago going thru the mansion out of order (5,4,2,1,3) and I haven't ever seen anyone else do this run before and didn't see it as a category. I have video of me doing it if ya'll would like to see it. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance

Can you share your video? Sounds neat.

This isn't a "speedrun" by any means but I thought it would be neat to watch the speedrunning community do this route

Hi,

First of all, a reverse mansion order run is an interesting concept. But due to the fact you are required to do 2 before you can do 3 it doesn't sit quite right with me since it's not a true reverse mansion order.

With that being said, it would be possible and definitely something worth exploring for the Japanese version on the Famicom Disk System, since in that version it's possible to exploit warps to get to Brahms without having the heart. It should also end up being faster since you can save & quit after 4 and return back to Jova, saving a ton of backtracking.

Yeah that's always bothered me with what to call it too. In the video I think I also said an "out of ordrr run" but reverse mansion run is the best that I could come up with to try to best describe it. Hopefully someone can come up with a better name

Oh I think I also called it a "backwards run" in the video too

I recorded a theory route last night for the FDS version, though this is vastly different as it makes heavy use of glitches, warps and save corruption. But it does 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1.

If there is a Reverse Dungeon Order category, perhaps a True Mansion Order run should also be considered on the NES and FDS.

Yeah I guess there woukd have to be 100% for both, only 1 high jump glitch allowed, all glitches allowed, etc for going mansions 5 and 4 first

Maybe thats how the run could be categorized, "5,4 First"
