Hello brawlers,

I'm sure you all are curious what we plan on doing once the DLC hits this Thursday.

We (the moderators and verifiers) discussed the DLC and this is what we plan on doing.

Arcade and ILs: We will add another patch subcategory that will either be labeled V06 or DLC, and we'll start fresh like we did for V05. Mania+ and the DLC characters will both be added as categories. Feel free to run these modes as soon as the DLC hits.

Note: We are not going to make a separate category for default moves and the new dlc attacks. The game has a lot of categories already and we think people who speedrun the game and not have the dlc will be a small % of people.

Mr X Nightmare Survival mode: We don't know how speedrunnable this mode is, if we can tack it on as a new difficulty, or if it needs a new page. We will have a better idea as the DLC is played more, so for now just enjoy the new DLC. We'll make a decision August 1 on what to do with the mode.

Also, we have two new verifiers to deal with the influx of new submissions. Welcome Badmoon and oDSFM!

Leaderboard is now updated with new characters, V07, and mania+. Tell me if anything is wrong or off.

Also, V07 should be the default patch category.

Thanks :)

I think for survival we might just need to pick arbitrary levels (10, 25, 50?) but I think it would be nice to have some kind of category for them. Of course, we will know more once we've had more experience playing the mode.

I completely agree re: movesets. It's up to you as the runner to figure out which moves are most optimum. Your build-out is just the same as someone who relies on specials as a crutch / grabs / etc. It's just the way you play the character, so having different categories would be redundant.

Re: Mr X Nightmare

I also think it would make most sense to have it as it's own board separate from anything else, and just have all the characters combined

It's really a test of your own individual skill. I don't think it makes sense to split it into each character. Like the fastest to Level 5 might be a random person playing Shiva but fastest to Level 50 might be someone like oil_moon with Blaze3 because he's put the time into that character

(You could add characters as a filter however so people could look at the board that way if they wanted)

That's my Day 1 opinion anyway. I'd have it away from everything else, and just one combined leaderboard per arbitrary "fastest to level X" steps (maybe 10, 25, 50...).

Also I don't think Random Sim or Weekly Sim need split. Weekly yes you get to practice the order, but Random you might get better luck, so it doesn't matter. Could always add it as a filter also, if people want to see the differences
