Hello friends,

I am proposing that we create sub-categories to differentiate between US and JP. In doing so, there will be a separate leaderboard for US and JP regions.

I believe this is necessary because the JP version is substantially different enough that it is meaningless to compare it to the US time. For example, cutscenes cannot be skipped in the JP version, adding minutes to the any% time.

Furthermore, Japan has an active Yoshi's Story speedrun community, and it would be neat to add their leaderboard info to this site. I will also try to convince them to keep the leaderboard up-to-date with their times, as they currently rely on a shabby HTML page for their leaderboard. It will allow us to compete against JP players' times.

Unless there are any objections, I will soon add the sub-categories and re-organize the current leaderboard to take regions into account. Thanks for your consideration and input.
