2020 Potential Changes for the leaderboards
4 years ago
England

There are currently many things I'd like to change about the boards. I'd like to know your opinions on these:

Any% - I believe Legacy and 4.0.0 should be combined into 1 board, with a variable on what version you play. Sokuno has found that Later version actually have faster loads, so 1.0.0 Digital wouldn't even be faster than 4.0.0

Guest Stars - I would like to remove the original board. No one actively competes on the original category due to MK no longer being the optimal choice, meaning Original is just a longer run. Before Original was the choice of runners due to a lack of piggybacking

100% - I'm not 100% sure. There are 4 options:

  • Keep it misc.
  • Make it a main
  • Remove it entirely
  • Replace it with All Switches + Big Pieces

I'm leaning on All Big Pieces + Switches, due to having a different route form Crown%

Ultimate Choice - I think Sizzling Threat should be removed. It is not the same as the Arenas from other games, your best time for Sizzling Threat isn't even saved, and it is treated like any other easier difficulty. With Soul Melter EX out there is even more reason to remove this

If we remove Guest Star original, I can just move over all the Original runs, so nothing will be lost

I agree that Sizzling Threat may be harder to remove

I don't think we should remove sizzling threat; there's people who want to speedrun this sub-category.

England

They can run it without a leaderboard

I removed Any% Legacy and Guest Star - Original

Sizzling Threat is still a maybe, but I'm leaning on removing it for good

England

Sizzling Threat has been removed

Portugal

Makes me wonder why Infernal Crisis was never there in the first place though. Soul Melter EX is basically like a Truer Arena, Soul Melter was True Arena. Infernal Crisis was basically like the regular Arena, you even face the regular Void Termina at the end.

Also are the original Guest Star runs gonna be on a different board now, by my understanding? If so that's nice, I've been doing NESP runs every now and then.

I agree Sizzle threat (5.0) should be removed due to your score won't save due to the higher difficulties of your high-score!!!

Portugal

I mean, by that logic, neither does Soul Melter's, since EX gives so many points, and the top 3 on your game's leaderboard is based off the scores of all difficulties.

England

Infernal Crisis is literally just Soul Melter but the final boss is easier

Soul Melter is a more of a legacy board. All the good people will still run Soul Melter seriously
