I have some runs I can add to the board right now, but there's faster times on other peoples first clears. But they'd be something to populate the boards for the moment if you're fine with that.

I do plan on doing runs soonish though yes. Just depends on how long the game wants to drag out giving me Bullet so I can see if he's vastly better than the others.

Bullet isn't that much better than the other characters it seems. I got a 22:36 as Hunter. I should stream runs soonish.

I found a glitch on The Bullet witch makes him very broken. I play on ps4 so I'm not sure if this is possible on pc, but I think it might be. I'm sure it will get patched when Dodge Roll finds out about it, they patched less important things.

All you have to do is use the sword and spam reload then shoot over and over, i got a 13:21 but didn't record it.

Also there hasn't even been a patch on the ps4 yet so I don't know if my runs are allowed because different patch and what not.

That glitch has been fixed on PC unfortunatly.

Also, should we add some rules about blessed runs / shortcuts ? They should be banned IMO.

And it seems that people doesn't really understand what IGT is (according to the comment they submitted with their run). Some clarification should be added I think, like "Submit the time shown after the credits in the recap screen"

Glitch Chest/Shortcuts should probably be banned, maybe Bloodied Scarf but that I'm not so sure on it feels like it's been fixed but I got it to clip through doors sometimes anyway.

And regarding timers, in game is probably the fairest? If it doesn't count loads and there's no room for user error. There is a glitch with it though if you start a run from quick restart it adds a random amount of time to it so return to the breach instead of quick restarting.

Blessed Mode could be its own category maybe.

So is there a consensus on banning the glitch chest/ blessed/ shortcuts in regular categories?

And is there a consensus on adding a category that allows these?

France

Shortcuts should be banned for sure. Shotcuts category wouldn't make any sense IMO.

Blessed runs can be as a subcategory I think.

Glitched chest however should be allowed I think, It's totally random and rare, pretty hard (for me at least :P), and can make you lose time. It's part of the gameplay, not something that allows you skip half of it (like shortcuts).

Glitched chest does skip a floor though.

If you get one on the first floor or near the start of the floor that's basically skipping two floors. Yeah the boss is super hard but it still skips a lot. Granted that's assuming you get one super early with another gun. I don't know, would have to see times with a glitched chest compared to a non glitched run.

As for shortcuts, there's no sense for a shortcut category yeah, it would be akin to Spelunky having shortcut categories which it doesn't.

France

Oh, didn't know it skipped a floor, I died on the boss of the only glitched chest I got. So banning glitched chest might be needed :)

I think having 4 and 6 character speedruns is silly. Issac only has multiple character amounts as a holdover from previous versions, and because people didn't want to run the super hard secret characters. I think just having 6 character runs makes a lot more sense.

I feel "1 Character" should be renamed to Dragun, and there should be categories for killing the past and beating hell. I also feel that multi-character speedruns should go to hell instead of the Dragun. If we take precedent from issac, their multi-char runs go to chest. (Which is an equivalent "secret" final level.)

Also the character variable should probably be set as a sub-category in the categories where it's used.
