Hello there, i have been playing this game ever since i was a little kid and feel deeply in love with it even to the point of it becoming my favourite game of all time, it is truly a shame that there are almost no speedruns for this game nor that many categories, i know that i am running a little bit late here but i would like to attempt to speedrun this game but not only on this format.
Here are some ideas for other categories:
- Arcade speedrun, where you attempt to complete the 10 levels of the arcade as fast as possible(Just the arcade not the completion of the game to the arcade nor the completion of the game plust the 10 arcade levels).
- Fastes Grudge Match Completion Time, where you attempt to finish all grudge matches as fast as possible while beating the game itself.
- All mission Battles completed, where you try to complete all possible mission battles as fast as possible.
- Quickest battle possible, where you try to finish the battle as quick as humanly possible.
- Quickest Perfect battle possible, where you try to get a perfect while going as quick as you can.
- 1012 Jason Combo Speedrun, where all you have to do is get the above 1000 combo against jason as fast as possible disregarding the story and gameplay.
- Fastest 100 wins at battle arena thingy (I forgot the name of this facility but it is on the police squad headquarters)
- Fastest Hadron battle (All 3 battles)
- Fastes to complete 100% of the game, use all parts, finish all mission battles, get to king, own all dioramas, finish all mission battles etc...
- Complete the game while baattling as mush as possible, so this one is a little bit tricky but its simple, basically everyday on the story there is a different amount of trainers you can battle, that changes every 2 days, you have to battle everyone that appears at least once everytime it changes not counting Lexicon characters like bull and tanya.
- Finish the game at defeating hadron, because the technical end is at the cutscenes i believe so creating a not fully completed game but up to hadron category is good enough and not that time consuming as the other categories.
I know this is too much, especially for a 2006 game, but i believe that with the support of this games fandom we can make it a actual speedruning game with all these different categories, for me its just a waste that such a good game has only 1 category and 4 runs submitted, i myself would like to start speedrunning the game when i have the chance, escpecially these categories that i just listed.
Btw i saw that 2 of the submitted runs were on emulators, i cant seem to find a good one to emulate the game, any tips on where i cant find it?
Thank you for reading this far in, even if this doesnt come to reality i will try my best to make this game popular and make it a good speedrunning category, peace folks.
