Leaderboard of Pikmin should be separated by each version

I strongly think that the leaderboard of Pikmin should be separated by each version, like pikminwiki.com (http://www.pikminwiki.com/Challenge_run). In All Parts speedrun of Pikmin, PAL version has disadvantage of in-game time, due to having 25 frames per second while NTSC version having 30 frames per second. (While cutscene after going to sunset is skippable in PAL version, slower in-game time defeats it.) On the other hand, Wii version has big advantage of the skippable cutscene after going to sunset. About [(Day required)-1]¤30 seconds will be saved in Wii version, compared to NTSC version of GC. Considering the version differences above, the leaderboard of Pikmin should be separated by GC(NTSC), GC(PAL), Wii.

I just noticed that the default of leaderboard is "All regions and All platforms" but it can be viewed with respect to each region and each version(GC, Wii)

Sorry for the late reply, I don't check the forums here all that often.

I don't speak for everyone in the community, but I thought I'd throw my opinion in here about why we have it all as one leaderboard. When the community first started, almost everyone was playing on NTSC GC (and for that matter, it seems like that's still how it is), so having a separate leaderboard for two or three people seemed kind of pointless.

Of course, the version is always shown on the leaderboard, so if you just want to see a leaderboard of just PAL, or just Wii, or whatever, you can always just sort other runs out.

I think you're right @iid01 but in my opinion I think we should keep it like it is because Pikmin isn't really a huge game or anything. It would be so messy.

I just left a comment on my run, so that people notice that it is the record for GC Pikmin (Japan / NTSC).

Wii version has disadvantage in Pikmin 2, due to having many unskippable cutscenes, btw.
