In an effort to improve competition standards, IL categories across the Hoshi Saga series will be revised to admit levels that are good for competition - in essence, requiring reasonable effort to complete. Existing IL categories that do not make sense as such will be removed.
Through my own research, I have found the following Hoshi Saga stages as good candidates for IL categories:
- HS1: 3, 14, 20, 29, 30, 34
- HS2: 45, 47, 52, 57, 61, 63, 65, 69, 70
- HS3: 71, 73, 77, 78, 79, 82, 85, 88, 92, 94
- HS4 (Ringo): 1, 5, 11, 12, 16, 21, 23, 24, 25
- HS5 (Ringoame): 28, 30, 38, 41, 44, 45, 50
- HS6 (Ringoen): 51, 54, 61, 70, 72, 74
- HS7 (Ringohime): 76, 77, 81, 83, 86, 95, 99
- HS8 (Dokuringo): 9980, 9995, 10000(Easy), 10000(Hard)
- HS9 (Minnano 1): 12, 18, 23, 26, 29, 32, 33, 34, 40, 42
- HS10 (Minnano 2): 7, 12, 14, 23, 26, 28, 31, 33, 40
- HS11 (Reishiki): None
- HS12 (Minnano 3): 2, 4, 8, 11, 14, 15, 18
- HS14 (Monochromatic): 21
These are to be added as the initial set in early June 2021.
This thread exists so that anyone can suggest other reasonable stages to add to the IL charts. However, if it is clear that the stage doesn't make sense for the IL charts, it will be explained, and the stage will not be added.
All additions of new ILs have been done, as well as a cleanup of the rules.
For categories/ILs that will be removed, I will notify any runners with submissions and keep a backup before deleting. This will be done sometime in the near future.
Levels that were not in the above lists have been Archived. These can be restored if the levels have sufficient challenge or aren't simple to reach the optimal time.
I have re-added some Levels and their runs in multiple Ringo-series games, and have cleaned up the Level submission rules.
If you see a Level category with (something) next to the stage name, please read the rules before submitting. Thanks!
