About 5 years ago I purchased this Shaman King game, and it sat in my closet for until 2021 when I decided to play it and was amazed to find probably one of the best fighting games, and certainly a great speedrun game.
I am very happy to update the leaderboard and add the main categories finally. I really look forward to more runners participating!
Here is a checklist of things that were done.
-
Main Category 'Amakusa Yoh Ro to Shaman King' added, this is the story mode.
-
Emulation and Console selection added to story mode.
-
Rules added for Main Game, and all categories, clearly defined.
-
Tested exactly what difficulty effects through help of members on speedrun.com
-
Tested emulation.
-
Added the Arcade category, 'Shaman Fight'
-
Added the character variable for 'Shaman Fight'
-
Split the 'Shaman Fight' mode by default characters and new game + characters. This can be changed on request or split into more sub categories if its shown fight numbers are different elsewhere as well.
-
Added 'Sudden Death' mode, the unlockable difficult arcade mode.
-
Added the character variable for 'Shaman Fight"
-
Renamed the old CPU vs category and moved it to misc.
-
Added the proper rules and split the category to avoid future problems or cheating.
-
Reattached and re verified all previous runs, including obsolete ones.
-
Added a new background and color theme.

In addition to all these changes, I want to invite members to suggest or request things in the thread below. I know the current WR holder Meksu san has been working on a guide and data for the game. So I hope to have a thread or that info available somewhere on this site as well.
This will continue to be one of my main marathon games, but I also want to support it because it really is a hidden gem of a fighting game on the PS1. Thank you for taking the time to read this thread.
