Cleaning up Categories

In the discord server we have discussed cleaning up the categories after playing the game.

We feel that there should be easy/hard Any% categories as the characters are different modes - JJ being easy physics, Jeff being harder. This is per the instruction manual. Jeff being faster means you have to route the levels slightly different to avoid hazards and the layouts seem more tailored to JJ.

We want to rename the categories as Any% (Easy) and Any% (Hard) and within them have sub categories for US/JP. This would then be mirrored for Warpless.

This would give more range in how to run the game rather than forcing everyone to play as Jeff, as he is the faster character and even optimal JJ play is still roughly 30 seconds off of Jeff.

Any comments on this? If there are no objections I can move forward and handle all the changes.

I like this idea. Splitting the characters gives poor ol' J.J. a reason to get playtime. It might also be more appealing to some new runners to learn the levels with J.J. and then see if they wanna dip their toe into running with Jeff. I certainly had a rough time jumping straight into Jeff and learning the levels on top of the crazy physics he has.

I think these changes make sense but labeling them as JJ (easy) and Jeff (hard) sounds better than just easy/hard.

The plan for easy/hard was only if we were going to merge JP and US. At this time I think we are going to leave them their own thing so was going to have JJ/Jeff sub cats of Any%.
