The Leaderboards for DMC5 Special Edition are now open! Initial categories and NG+ ruleset changes.

The leaderboards for Special Edition are now open to run submissions!

We'd also like to outline some of our thought processes for the initial categories.

  1. There are not many people interested in running that also own a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S.
  2. Most new runners seem to be more excited about Vergil, a character that does not have possibilities for new categories specific to him outside of arbitrarily slower ones.
  3. Leaderboards with an abundance of empty categories are not particularly inviting for new players.

Going forward, if three different runners can present completed runs for the NG+ Faustless, NG/NG+ No Major Glitches, and Bloody Palace boss categories, we will add them to the board. 

Finally, an important change to note is that New Game+ runs are different from the original Devil May Cry 5 speedruns. We will now require users to begin New Game+ speedruns from Prologue so as to maintain consistency with the New Game ruleset.

Thank you, and happy running!
