Hello all, (Yes, people who have not run this game before I am also asking you) I've realized recently that a more intermediate main category is needed for this game, for a few reasons. The main reason is that there is an 8 minute long category, and a 4 hour category. This has lead quite a few people away from this game, as they do not wish to devote that much time to a speedrun.
Thus comes the question: Does anyone have any ideas for a speedrun category that preferably ends before chapter 6, is over 20 minutes in length, accomplishes a significant goal, requires actual skill, but is still newcomer friendly? - Watch a movie category was a good attempt, but watching a movie simply did not have enough significance to make this an interesting category.
-I.E. no 'kill Gargaros', as most new players do not have such an understanding of IAE to do this quickly.
-I realize that I'm not a mod, but I'm active enough in the community to hold sway.
Actually, if bug/critter rng works in the way I was discussing in the Speedrun server recently, all critters could work.
I would make a level leaderboard, it seems like a good idea to make short runs and could attract more players to the game.
Version 21 of the YW2 Guide has finally released after 4-6 months of no updates. V21 is radically different from V20, and it’s much, much better and more streamlined.
