The Switch 2 released today, and it has a massive impact on load times in DKCRHD - loads used to be almost twice as long as those on Wii, however they are now even shorter than Wii loads. This leads to it saving nine minutes or more over Switch Digital in Any%, and even more in the longer categories (we'll have a better idea of exactly how much it saves in the coming days). On top of this, it seems like the lag has been eliminated or at least significantly reduced.
While Physical and Digital have a major time difference as well (estimated four minutes in Any%), the difference is that it is far easier for a Switch owner to acquire DKCRHD digitally than it is to get a Switch 2. With that in mind, Switch and Switch 2 will remain separate for RTA categories. They won't be separated for Time Attacks unless something other than the load times is found that sets them apart.
Breaks are now permitted for 200% and File Completion across the three DKCRs. This is in line with what many other communities have done by now; the delay here was down to low activity in these categories (one 200% run in 3D and nothing in HD as of writing :P), rather than actual opposition
