Is it possible to get new game plus category for all the characters?

Gunma, Japan

it is possible I think. But if divided by characters, there are a lot of categories. the prime of the category is the number of the player I think.

What type of category were you thinking?

Hey I was hoping to be able to stream off of my PS3 soon and was interested in running some of the level leaderboards. I wanted to clarify just in case but wasn't sure if it needed it's own thread, but does it matter if you're playing Normal or Hard for the level leaderboards?

About Newdata Solo or multi about NG+ Co-op Category: 2 players,3 players,4 players,5 characters, 6 characters

about multiplayer character:

  1. You can use every character, but not use same character. (1P and 2P soma: this case is prohibited)
  2. We can change the character which you use during speedrun. But no constitution change. ex. 1P:soma,2P:Alucard, depends on the chapter, you can change 1P:Alucard,2P:Soma

This is the one of suggestion.

Thanks

to Blakers54 on the Level leaderboards, we should separate Normal and Hard. I Think

@KeynNaka I agree, it would probably be better that way, if it isn't too much of a hassle for whoever makes the categories.

I'm gonna let KeynNaka take care of this since I rarely even run this game anymore, but it's good to see some runners! I hope to see some runs soon!

I'd love to get into these runs being that I already have a file pretty well farmed to do some but If i was to do coop its sorta off putting to do coop runs if we are not allowed to run characters even if same that we practiced more. perhaps a way to allow this if not no big deal I just won't bother with coop runs then.

I change my mind about regulation of NG+ CO-OP. We can be free to change the characters depends on every chapter. But I think we should prohibit the character is not same at the same time.

I feel a speedrun should be focused on speed. Same characters should be allowed. I do like character variety, but to force a slower team seems wrong. Perhaps 2 different categories if enough people submit runs, but CVHD is not popular enough to keep making more categories.

Ontario, Canada

I agree with turbo it's best to keep things simple and not exile possible players and the idea of going fast. If ideas for other categories come up or more challenging run types and ppl do them they should be easy enough to add if the boards are set up for that down the road.

Thank you for your opinion. for being popular, NG+ CO-OP will be no strict about character. I apologize to be selfish about it

Any chance of having ng+ available fir ch 1-6 as well instead of just ch 1-11 for solo and coop? Not everyone will have the dlc so it would further limit other ppl. Plus ch 1-6 runs would be a better start for ppl then jumping on the pain train of ch 1-11 runs in general. The boards could be simpler with cleaver use of the subcategories setting in the extra/variables btw as it will be useful for easily changing or adding things.

Eg. Subcategory labeled as difficulty with options normal or hard for full game and levels instead of the current way. The rules only needin to be written to the specific category or sub as it displays them together when selecting an actual category be it full game or level. Just an example.

I change the layout. I separate by game rule. much easier to access. thank you MASH. If everybody admit this style, please submit the run. I'm so sorry about some people have already submitted the record.

California, USA

I do like the idea of character variety, Keyn_Naka. Perhaps we will add with more players!

California, USA

MASH, I have wondered if this is relevant before. If people don't have the DLC, then wouldn't they still be getting crushed due to lackluster gear choices? Seems like NG would make more sense for limiting gear.

well having NG and NG+ separated with lets say a sub category makes more sense so that both types of people can do the runs like ch 1-6 or ch 1-11 in any combination regardless of their dlc standing with what ever they have. I know that I have all the DLC for the game but some people that may want to get into the game or others that already have the base game may not have access to getting the dlc or become limited due to this. So allowing anyone at any standard to play regardless if they have gotten farmed enough for NG+ or those with vanilla of the game can still do runs with the desired characters in both solo or coop. I'm trying to think about the majority of people and newcomers as well.

Trying to have a more organized board to allow everyone to submit runs of what ever standing of play for the game they can do is the idea and if its set up with being able to adjust or add new categories or removed them without losing organization later on or possibly orphan runs later on when we have more it should not have that much of an impact on anything. Also any categories that are empty for the time being can be hidden to simplify the look using the misc setting as it can temporarily hide categories that are not active enough or are not the main focus of the overall game.

I would not suggest limiting characters or gear choices tho for NG+ on hard only and that NG be from a clean file on normal only.

Timing for chapter 1-6 or 1-11 runs should always start when you start the first stage by hitting "start game" as it currently does, and timing ends once you get to the results screen of the last stage.

Gunma, Japan

my suggestion of timer end is when the gold chest is opened at the last stage
