Not sure if this still works but there was a way to have infinite brain buster with the revolver pistol (where time slows down and you mark heads before popping them all in a row) and I think you just have to special melee the moment you hit the final head to cancel it out and have it again so you can repeat it forever! Feel free to let us know if this still works, here's one of the first IL runs of ZA4 and also the only one I know of which utilized it!

Oh hey, I will definitely also fix it for individual level categories as soon as I find the time :)

Yeah, you just keep all of your unlocked/upgraded stuff

I've seen Professor_Palmer do some demo speedruns on YT and I did some myself, was wondering if more people are interested so it could become a misc category maybe? Managed to get a sub 6 Yuito and sub 5:30 Kasane run 😅

Forgot to uncheck the "has to be exactly 4 players" option, submissions with less than 4 players are now possible and I edited your run accordingly - didn't have the time to verify it yet as it's a very long run

If you're interested in Returnal speedruns, make sure to join our community Discord - it is home to some of the most knowledgeable Returnal players who are always glad to help wherever they can! You will get to see new skips and strats as soon as they are found and even if you're not interested in running the game yourself, you can always have a nice chat there too: https://discord.gg/Yma7XTSZTh

Yes you can!

There is now :D

Added :)

Sounds good! Will edit all that stuff tomorrow, so do feel free to use upgraded stuff and DLCs all you like :) And good luck, my WR is easily beatable as it was first try a day before release hahaha if you watch the single mission speedrun someone did you can also see a sick glitch with the pistol that can make most killing sections SO FAST!

I see, just read over the rules of Any% NG+ in SE4 and I guess that's what the current ZA4 Any% should be?! Since I used upgrades and shit my run should count as NG+, so I might make the current Any% category Any% NG+ (allowing DLC, upgrades, etc.) and create a new Any% (fresh file, no DLC)... not sure yet but I think that makes the most sense, right?!

I will reply again once we decided, I personally would say we should allow DLC but it's not 100% decided yet so until you hear back from us, use DLC on your own risk! For any DLC missions it is obviously allowed to use DLC stuff either way tho :)
