@RebelWatt @Timmiluvs Yes, we're already separating the two as Silver said. And Timmi's right, there's no way currently to do subcategories like that but I sent a message to some of the owners of speedrun.com. The closest thing we could do right now is lump all the characters into the same categories and create an additional variable (column) where you insert the character, allowing you to filter by character at the top. This, however, is pretty unnatural as there's virtually no reason to ever compare category times of multiple characters within the same leaderboards. I can create some screenshots later if this behavior isn't clear.
P.S. Thanks for using the forums guys! I want to try to get these to catch on when we're discussing strats, leaderboard info, etc., so glad to see people participating.
I'm currently proposing we include any region/version of a game that is significantly different¤ from its counterparts as a separate game in the game list, similar to how we use to do for KH/KH-J & KH2/KH2-J on the Google Docs awhile back. The current implementation is simply not ideal because the default region filtering combines both English and Japanese, which for these games is never a comparison that should even be considered.
One of the main considerations for this approach was the Sonic speedrun community (http://speedrun.com/sonic). They do the same thing for games like Sonic Heroes Console vs. PC and Sonic Unleashed PS3/Xbox360 vs. PS2/Wii.
That means the following games will be split out of their English counterparts into their own Japanese games:
- KH-J
- KH2-J
- Days-J
- BbS-J
- KH2FM-J HD
If I've missed any, it's most likely because I don't know if the Japanese version is significantly different (Re:Coded, I'm lookin' at you). Simply reply if this is the case. Please contain any discussion for or against this proposal within this thread.
¤We really should define what "significantly different" means

Ditto! I sent you a Twitch PM with some info in case you missed it.
