can someone pls put the rules in the any% and the other category's, it would help a lot

That would be great, yes

I'm about to write them, dw ^^

The any% rules seem incorrect considering Jeff's run?

In Jeff's run (at least the one that's visible right now), he did the minimum requirements to unlock each boss panel (granted, they were already unlocked), then did the boss panels.

But the rules on the category are:

"Timer starts when the Combat word appears in the first battle and ends whit the last hit of the last battle. You must complete every fight in the All Star Battle mode."

...Which seems to specifically describe it as being all fights, not all bosses.

Personally I think the way Jeff did it makes more sense for being called "any%", since it routes around non-required parts of the game like most any% categories would, but some clarification (and possibly a separate category for all fights?) would be nice.

(I also don't know of many games where you can do an "any%" run on an already-completed save file... but I guess it's probably not viable to make runners delete their save files every time lol)

Yeah, the rules were made after verifying the run, so I guess it's fair enough. I'll make a new category. Btw, I watched his whole run, he didn't cheat, so no need to delete his save file lol.

No, ok, just checked. I did the dumb thing of swapping the "All Panels" and "Any%" rules. My bad.

Lol I figured it was something like being labeled in the wrong category.

And yeah, he definitely correctly did the right number of fights for each boss, the big question to me is the gold... every fight, he bought items to reduce the opponent's health, but he wouldn't have had that many coins on a new safe file. He would have had to build it up after a few fights.

It's obviously not against the rules rn, but it is worth considering to me. I might do a run on a new save file later today just to see if the coin routing is interesting enough to be a real thing...

Uhhh, that's an intresting point. I'll probably add a new category for the Archive and put a rule to use New Savefiles only. I didn't consider items could influence the battle.

just wanted to chime in but i don't think creating a new save file on pc is possible to my knowledge, since it only allowes you to have one save file per account

Hmm... that's an issue, then.

Is there no way to back up your save file on PC? Like literally going into the folder & putting the data somewhere else? You'd probably have to disable cloud saving as well, I think.

I just ran through on console and at least there, it's possible to make a new save file. Kinda annoying to go through the tutorial each time but what can ya do lol.

New Save is an interesting routing challenge... you need to make sure to complete Secret Missions that get you extra gold so you always have access to items. I had access to the Miasma of the Void item pretty much the whole run (except the first battle lol), but it was tough to maintain enough gold to keep using the Grateful Dead item.

i'll see what i can do. and i agree starting from a new game would be very intresting and would lead to a lot of different routes to optimize the game
