Hey everyone, I've gone ahead and added all the maps for both Quick Match and Competitive categories. These are for your fastest wins on specific maps! Make sure to read the category rules so you know what subcategory to submit your runs to.

Both Quick Match and Comp have "Standard" and "Any%", and Quick Match also has a subcategory for bot lobbies.

• Standard: Both teams make a genuine effort to win the match.
• Any%: Includes winning against a team with leavers/DCs, throwers, AFKs, Surrenders (comp only), etc. These are not done on purpose, nor should they be, but if you happen to have a win like this, feel free to submit them here.

If you have any feedback/suggestions, feel free to let me know in the forums or in our discord!

Hey, so the S9 update brought additions to the hero tutorial! New Galacta lines were added, along with short new team-up tutorials for each hero. This makes the old Hero Tutorial records impossible to beat, so I decided to legacy the old one and create a fresh leaderboard for it.

Old leaderboard was renamed to "Hero Tutorial (Pre-S9.0)" and can be found in the Miscellaneous section (click the small arrow on the right side of the categories).

Any questions/suggestions, lemme know!

Hey everyone, I've gone ahead and added solo and co-op categories for the new PvE mode Blood Hunt! For right now I only added Normal, Hard and Extreme. I need to figure out if specific Nightmare levels will always have the same boss/objective type. If it's always random for the same level, then it might be weird. But ones I'm thinking of adding are Nightmare 70 and Nightmare 100.

Open to suggestions/feedback!

Hey everyone, new category! This one was requested by saltyphish, and it basically requires winning a match with 48 of the current 49 heroes. A new subcategory can be added once 54 heroes are in the game. Category specifics (rules, timing, etc) can be found here.

For any questions/feedback, feel free to DM, leave a message in the forum, or join the discord!

This was requested and I thought it was a good idea! I've gone ahead and added subcategories for Ultimate KO. They're Standard (for quick match and comp) and 18 vs 18 (annihilation). For any feedback/suggestions, lemme know!

There's a current exploit involving scroll wheel inputs to 'speed buy' the Random shop. It can potentially spend all your currency in one scroll. The issue isn't just the speed, it's an inventory-state glitch.

When buying normally, the 'owned card' list updates sequentially. When using this exploit, the purchases happen faster than the update tick. So if you pull a 'Duplicate' card late in the chain, the game checks your inventory, sees only the single card you bought at the start and forces a duplicate of that. It bypasses the mechanic where bad RNG pulls are supposed to lower your future duplication chances on the good cards. I've chosen to disallow runs that use this exploit on the leaderboards since it just feels like cheating.

Any questions/feedback, lemme know!

Hey, so I finally got around to updating the layout of the subcategories for Hero Tutorial. I'm not sure if this is the best way (lemme know if you have any suggestions) but this is how I've organized them:

The top categories (highlighted in green) are the live versions found in the current patch.

The bottom categories (highlighted in red, and below the "Legacy" separator) are for older runs with different or no team-ups.

I've also included all the team-up changes in the Category Rules so we can see which versions are currently being used!

Hey, everyone. I've created hero-specific subcategories for Marvel Zombies Solo, similar to how they are in-game, GLHF!

Marvel Rivals Speedrun Discord (it's new!): https://discord.gg/QAwFA5fAVp

Decided to make a discord server for this community, especially since Marvel Zombies is staying for another month!

Hey everyone, so in S3 they for some reason moved Punisher closer to the stairs at the start of the tutorial. This instantly gives an advantage to all new runs and makes the top times easy to beat if the player does everything right. IMO we can do two things:

1. Leave the Basic Tutorial leaderboard as is, even with this new slight advantage, or

2. Separate the pre-S3 runs from the S3+ runs (subcategories)

If you've done runs for Marvel Rivals, lemme know what you think. If not much interest is shown, I will probably just leave the leaderboard as is and put a note about it in the category rules (but can separate them later on if brought up again).

Hey everyone, the Hero Tutorial subcategories were adjusted for The Punisher, Rocket Raccoon and Iron Man since their original Team-Ups are no longer in the game. All the original runs are still there in the "With Team-Up" subcategories.

For any questions/feedback, lemme know!

Hey! So it turns out that the initial load-ins for all of the Tutorial categories can have a significant effect on a run's final time (slower loads = advantage, faster loads = disadvantage). So to normalize it, here are the new start locations for all 3 tutorial categories:

• Basic Tutorial: Time starts when the Fish target appears.
• Convoy Tutorial: Time starts when the checkmark appears next to the "Welcome..." prompt.
• Domination Tutorial: Time starts when the checkmark appears next to the "Welcome..." prompt.

I'll go ahead and retime all the current runs based on the new starting points.

Any feedback, lemme know!

Here's the original post where this was brought up: https://www.speedrun.com/marvelrivals/forums/a2b9c

Hey everyone, since there's been a steady flow of category requests, I'll put this info here:

General:

• Post your requests in the forums with a complete run (with video) for that category, with at least basic rules for when the time starts and ends. The more likes/comments it gets from other people, the more likely it can be added as a category! This is to avoid 1-person leaderboards that might not do well.
• If you see a category request that you're interested in, make sure to leave a like and comment. Posting your own run would help increase its chances of getting added too!

PVP-related category requests:

• These are fine, but as long as it doesn't involve griefing other players. For example, say you wanna do a run where you get a kill with every hero, but it's in quick match or competitive - this is most likely a no, since ideally you would wanna purposefully die as soon as you get a kill to switch to the next hero. But if it's in a solo mode, like Conquest or Doom Match, it'd be fine.
• Bronze III to GM or something similar. Every new account that plays comp in Marvel Rivals starts in Bronze III so, imo these would be okay. Video would be required, like with every category.

Other:

• Requests that seem too arbitrary might not get added, but can depend on community feedback.

ALSO!! If you are an active runner and would like to help verify runs, let me know! The main requirement is that we have retime every single run (even if the runner already retimed it) to double check that the times are accurate. If the times match, awesome, but if not, we edit with the correct retime - very important! This helps keep the leaderboards fair and competitive :)

Any questions/suggestions, feel free to let me know!

Side note: I moved Mode Tutorial and Shooting Range to the Misc tab. This is to keep the main categories a bit more organized, with the lower priority categories in Misc.

Hey everyone, to make the Death category a bit more interesting, I was thinking about splitting it into 3 subcategories: Left Exit, Main Exit and Back Exit. All 3 spawn exits have their own type of rollouts, so it'd be cool to track the best for all 3!

Any questions/feedback, lemme know!
