Hey everyone,

Was wondering how you all feel about Battle Item usage? If they should be banned or not from Survival runs?

I personally feel they should be banned. Not because they give you crazy damage boosts or anything but, because of how you get them.

You need to grind to collect Battle Items by completing other survival runs or spending fight money on Fighting Chance. These are both from outside of your actual run and require you to grind for drops before even making speedrun attempts. Basically if someone wanted to make a run at a record, they will eventually have to grind until they have like 45 Katanas and then do their run.

That's why I haven't used any of my Battle Items, I've just been saving them until I have to cause I don't want to have to spend hours grinding JUST to be able to attempt a run that may end up failing half way through due to poor AI or execution errors, resulting in having to go grind up another 45 Katanas. (Not even considering how many items you'd need for Normal and up D: )

Granted I feel like Battle Supplements are perfectly fine for runs, since they're only generated in your run and use points gained from how you performed in that run. Which cuts out any additional out of run grinding and just relies on the luck of the run (and not running out of points though that'd be rare).

In the end, that's just how I feel so if everyone is fine with it, I'll just get to grinding for Katanas and roll with it. Might help with some records that are rough to beat due to balance changes but that's a story for another day.

Hey everyone, been playing this game a bunch. Was wondering a few things.

1. Is there a reason some characters are missing from the Level Leaderboards? Like Terry, Andy and Joe are missing, which seems odd.

2. What are the rules for the Survival category? That normally doesn't have an end? Should we be stopping at a certain amount of wins?

It's pretty impressive, that anytime a new strategy comes up that pushes the Rookie Tag Record lower, you still manage to push Phase-4 times even lower.

No idea how you got that 0:11.250 but, getting the AI to let you have 5 rounds of that will make things quite difficult to beat.

I'll keep poking at Rachel see if anything else comes up with her, as well as giving the rest of the roster a try but, I feel like if I do, I'll see a Phase-4 run with 10s rounds from you haha!
