Hello there! I've been looking into running this game, but is super put off by the fact the leaderboards contain runs that are 100% impossible to do now, due to updates.

It would be really awesome to get this board revived, and possibly have DLC/Non-DLC categories, as right now the meta is buying a DLC char that can fly, thus removing all kinds of strategy or optimising.

Thanks!

I am not aware of the novelties on the video game, so I can not give my opinion on the subject, but if it turns out that the evolution of the game makes the ranking completely broken I am at 100℅ Ok , To make changes to the leaderboards (reset, adding a new category / rules..)

I would appreciate that Danomite give his opinion on the subject.

I will try to update myself on the evolutions of the game, and on what would pose problem regarding the speedrunning

The only way I could express any more discomfort or concern for running this game is simply by looking at the patch notes. From Nov 1 to Nov 8 there was a total of 6 different patches, some of which were minor tweaks others being drastic changes.

With that being said I'm unsure how this game could ever be run with a "fresh" leaderboard unless we all decide there is one past patch we can run that appeases the masses. The game is simply edited and modified to frequently that runs are consequently deemed obsolete.

With the addition of DLC to basic characters there would need to be 2 different sections simply being DLC and non DLC, instead of having a leader board for each character in both genres. If you have DLC and are not running demonspawn your simply doing it for the enjoyment I don't think there is another competitive character besides him when it comes to the game in general. I could be wrong someone good break the game with viking... I don't know.

So TLDR; Unifty under one patch or have an out of date board that needs to have fresh runs submitted every other week in order for there to be non obsolete runs to compete with. They love to tinker and tweak this game something fierce.

you can run a previous patch on your computer(if you do not have any saves/files of a more up to date version on your computer or else it wont work properly), the problem is that the best version cannot be found anywhere.

Also no run is impossible to beat.

I haven't attempted the a run on the current build but with first glance, there are less waves with this patch but the bosses pose a whole new world of interest as they have changed drastically. I'll need to test and take a look.

I would say this patch is faster. There a few new time wasters such as the new 2nd phase of reaper and Damien but will have to see what an optimal boss rush looks like. I'll test them with my WR demonspawn and see how long it takes.

I'll post back when I have some data.
