This thread will serve as focus to openly discussion the board and future updates and or changes as time moves on.

● Please keep stick to relevant topics in discussion in this thread or make a new one if necessary.

● Keep discussion civil, we don't want to get into arguments because that is not fun and takes away from time better spent running or doing other things.

Individual Levels will be added at a later date, Full Game runs are currently a focus while things get ironed out. Expect changes with the board regarding categories and rules, things do change and we will adapt to said changes as necessary.

If you are a PC runner I would like to ask you to please discuss any bugs,issues and or problems you may experience as with the other titles in the series that have gotten ports in the past there are numerous things that may be common with this title in the series as well. Z2 has a framerate issue, SGZH and Z2 both also suffer from crashing as well. I mainly play on Playstation at this time.

What I am aware of at this present time for PC is the following: ◦ Prone to Crashing pending various specifications ◦ Various Audio issues

Hello, new runner here. What are the rules/guidelines regarding timers for the speedrun? I play on PS5, and mostly use my phone for the timer since I haven't tried doing this officially and only for fun. Also, is there anything for or against optimal ring setups?

@MaiTheRunner All the current rules can be found on the board for the game and categories. On screen timer is not required but nice to see if possible to provide or splits attached with the run work just as good, They only serve to provide additional and faster verification of submitted runs.

As for the second questions not sure what you mean by "optimal ring setups" unless you talking about the equip-able ones in which there is no definitive answer since it depends on the category and your play style/approach to the stages. Generally speaking rings that boost your attack damage output and movement are easy ways to save time, Berserk Rings will allow you to stay in the highest damage forms which further maximize your damage output for the categories that they apply to such as NG+ runs as you would not have access to them besides the ones I have previously mentioned that can be obtained easily through New Game runs via the shop when then unlock through progress.

If you have more specific questions I will do my best to answer them.

Just make sure that your submission recording includes all the requirements that are listed out and that you filled out the info according.
