Are Hunter and Savior 2 similar enough to compete with each other?

I submitted a run of Savior 2 and decided to check out the other run in this Category and noticed it was on Hunter. I know mechanically the game is the same, but I'm not sure about the AI since there's a very different set of characters. One might be on average faster to run than the other.

It might be interesting to test, so I'll try out a few more runs of both and post back if I find anything.

the frames for moves in hunter and savior 2 are slightly different savior 2 has more characters to choose from idk what the call would be usually you would make another page for it since its a "different game" but these are just essentially updates for DS3 so i think having both be separate categories one for each update of the game seems fair to me, yeah? i think ill do that

That certainly works, there really isn't enough differences to make a separate game page IMHO. They were released in tandem, so it's pretty clear Capcom thought of them as companion pieces at the very least.

In case anyone was interested, the AI for the Midboss Character (the one before Phobos, I think) is quite advanced on Hunter. Didn't fall for my usual tricks. It does get confused when pressured and can be "reset" in response to some of your inputs, so it's more a game of not letting up and constantly spamming LPs and LKs if you want to game it.

Certainly a lot slower on average for that one fight, so I guess it's good that these are separated.
