United StatesIf you want to buy a copy of the game, it was recently rereleased on PS5 and Switch. It's a great release, performs really well. However, we haven't had time to check that verison of the game for whether or not it can be a part of our speedrun boards.
Google will be your friend if you want to purchase a copy of the game.
Ebay, shopgoodwill, lots of places have copies for sale all of the time. It's not a particularly rare game.

We'll get a nice run in the next grind. A lot of stuff went wrong in this run, I was surprised we still PBed at all!
Hey guys. I just wanted to drop a message here regarding health pickups and 1-up pickups in the runs for Low% and Pacifist.
Discussion with the other mods has led to the decision that NG2 should follow along with the lines that the other games have set for low%. The rules for Low% have been changed, wherein you cannot pick up health pickups or 1-ups. We believe this is more reflective of the nature of how the low% run should be done. Regarding this decision, legacy runs which do contain a health pickup before the rules had been modified will remain on the board.
The rules for Pacifist have also been modified slightly. There had been no clarification or mention of 1-up pickups for the run previously. 1-ups are no longer allowed for Pacifist either. During this discussion with the mods, the topic of the 'killing' of enemy projectiles came about. We believe that the Pacifist run should allow for Ryu to destroy enemy projectiles. These projectiles are -created by another enemy- (fireballs, boulders, bullets, baron spider's spiders, etc.) The destruction of these projectiles will no longer invalidate a run.
Again, any legacy times on the board which had been approved before this change will remain posted. If anyone has any questions, feel free to DM me for any clarification regarding the changes.
I can't say that I think allowing romhacks into normal leaderboards is a good practice to break the seal on. With that being said, I really don't care all that much either way.
