I think a non-gun-con category makes sense. It's not really fair to have it mixed in with Gun-con runs.

However, playing as different characters only has an affect on the first room. From there you are able to pick your paths. Even going from Stage 2 to Stage 3, your side is picked from the path you chose much earlier but shooting the bonus enemies. It's not like TC3 where is produces a totally different perspective/run.

You rule, thanks man!

Could you add a 2 player section for Arcade?

I should be able to submit for it soon.

Yeah, that would be awesome. Do you still have access to an arcade machine? What's the approximate distance of your feet to the screen?

Unfortunately, Speedrun.com doesn't allow leaderboards via high scores. Some games are able to finagle by accounting for time first, and score later, but in this case, there's no great way to go about it.

I don't think there is a difference for scoring per difficulty. I believe the speed of firing and boss health levels are the main differences(that's my guess anyway).

I know I've done 3 mil+, but I rarely pay much attention. I'm flexible with posting the runs, I don't really know the technical limitations of speedrun.com.

After practicing this run a few times, I believe it would produce even more impressive runs than going for speed.

With extra lives being a huge bonus at the end, you are taking a sizable risk farming, especially on the latter boss fights. I feel like a 30 min. timecap solves the farming problem, which is only significant on 2 or 3 bosses. imo, a higher score with a slower time is still the higher score, therefore the better run.

Given the depth of TC2, high score runs can be very impressive. Smraedis has a run that is 2mil and so good I have doubts as to whether or not it's real(it is.)

After another speed record, I'd like to focus on high score for a bit just for a change of pace. Let me know what y'all think!

Not sure why, not many people run this game in general, so you're kinda the first person mentioning it. Would be cool as there are a few things you can do to increase your score like not missing enemies, collecting money, and shooting breakable objects for(very small amounts) of points.

I think the only RNG is boss actions and weapon upgrades/pop-gun.

I'd throw my hat it in if the leaderboard was there.
