Since the Switch 2 has been released for a few days now I would like to share what we know so far in terms of load times and other things.

Any% and other categories will be saving around +1m:00s from cutscenes & elevator rides.

At the moment this data has only been collected for v1.4.0 Physical. The digital version of the game would provide more timesave than the physical version since it would make it easier to read due to it not being hard capped by the Switch 1 cartridge reading speed on Switch 2.

Also, we don't know if the Legacy versions will be able to run on Switch 2 due to the concern from what I saw from another speedrunning community that the Switch 2 will try to force an update onto the game rather than let you open the software.

Does this effect ScareScraper in anyway?

No, since we already use the IGT timing method the only convenience it has is loading the floors quickly.

Are Switch 2 runs going to be allowed anytime soon?

Hopefully within the next two weeks or so with the amount of information we've gathered and what we have concluded what's best for our community in the long term when introducing Switch 2 onto the boards. For now we will try to avoid verifying any submissions that are done on Switch 2 for the time being as it's important for us to take our time to figure out what would be the best call for this.

Anyways, I'll post more updates regarding this matter if we get anymore information.
