Although short lived, I have decided that Richter Mobile runs can no longer be listed in the same category as the PSX build. The auto-bladedash button is not singularly a big enough factor to disqualify the run, however, the game allows the runner to buffer bladedashes out of doors.
While it remains to be seen whether or not this gives Android runners a significant time advantage (I doubt it does), it has added to the evidence that the Android build is too distinctly different from the PSX build to warrant it's inclusion in the original category.
The existing Android runs will be removed from the leaderboard and the rules will be updated. Unfortunately, there is so little competition on this platform that I do not feel that creating a new category is necessary at the moment, although that may change in the future.
I honestly think this is fair, while being an Andriod runner myself; the port is rather unstable. There are several places that lock as all 3 characters. Most notably are the clock room and throne room. (for Richter and Maria) While it is unfortunate, it's a reasonable conclusion to come to.
I am rather confused as to why only the Android port was removed from the leaderboards. Can someone elaborate to me some differences between the IOS and Android versions. I think they have the same softlocks. I could be wrong, but any help on that would be nice. I only have access to the android port, so I can't really compare.
That would make sense, till you look at the leaderboard and see that IOS is still accepted as a platform. Maybe you're right, but it could be apple being a more stable build. idk
Forgot there was also an iOS version of the game. I've updated the thread title and removed iOS from accepted platforms.
