New categories?
8 months ago

I submitted Any% and Default runs and want to knock out any other categories while my practice is fresh. Everyone cool with adding these - if/when runs would be submitted?

  • LEVEL 1, TIME 60, SPEED 2, ROUND 3
  • LEVEL 5, TIME 60, SPEED 2, ROUND 3
  • Collect All 16 Items

For reference, Default is LEVEL 3 at SPEED 2. A Bo3 for the lowest difficulty is common, which I would play to show off combos I can't risk at SPEED 4. Not having categories for every difficulty is also common. Don't want to spread competition too thin.

I assume Items aren't currently allowed. What about a collect all items category where you could use them? SpeedKing TAS has 3 videos collecting all but Spare Mask (complete game on LEVEL 4) + requirements in each description. Collecting all items also unlucks Miss X if you haven't fought 100 matches.

For Spare Mask and School Uniform, you can lose to Miss X with your best character then swap to Yuki or Whip to win 1 battle. I'd like 'Collect' to mean earn versus having to possess all at once so Spare Mask can be used.

My concern is I don't want to practice and record a run that won't get added or is played with suboptimal settings. I asked mods if NGPC Samurai Shodown 2 would have separate categories for no cards and got no response. I practiced and did that run for nothing.

For showing the settings, current rules state:

This Run has the Default NORMAL Settings for Difficulty, Round 2, Match Time 60, and Speed 2 for the Game and must shown beforehand.

Can we alternatively show after completion where you loop back to the title screen? Would have sped up my progress given over 100 attempts. Then LEVEL 5 can just show earning the School Uniform after beating Miss X right?
