This will be a very challenging game to speedrun, but we’ll all get into the groove. Have fun speedrunning!
Still on the first, casual, playthrough rn, but this game could indeed offer a lot. Let's make this a big active community :)
Very cool! :D Finished my playthrough yesterday and im very interested in speedrunning it :D
I already started with some speed practice, but damn this game is hard. Whenever i try to go fast in levels it generally just results in me dying a million times lol.
Category suggestions are fine but should be made with a suggested ruleset and video of you demonstrating the run in question. Cyber Shadow has rooms where you are required to kill enemies to progress so a true Pacifist% isn't possible at the moment, even when excluding bosses. There are also cases where you could skip what would be an otherwise mandatory enemy kill with a small wall clip. I would suggest joining the Discord for talk about categories.
I was thinking about a small fan category. At the first level there is an achievement, do not kill mobs until the first boss.
I'm aware of the feats as I finished them all in the first 2 days. That said, what you're now suggesting is a category that is half a stage (because the first boss is the mid boss of Chapter 1) and a couple minutes long when optimized. I'm not in favour of it myself but again as I mentioned, and 4d9r reiterated, if you want to discuss further Discord is place as the majority of the community has been active there since release.
