Kumamoto, JapanFirstly, thanks to @Ellimist for adding me to the page. I wasn't expecting that but since I am here I will update with all the new information.
Secondly, this game is really fun to play. It's still in Japan but because of its scattered locations, and high cost of play (300 - 500 yen) it took a while to really route the game and all characters.
Here are some of the updates:
- Reordered the Maps to the order they appear in game.
- Added the Colosseum map.
- Added the Venice map.
- Added the character annotation, and put in all characters in the order they appear from left to right.
- Added the discord link. Posting Tiers and Videos there as well.
Here are some things I will do:
- Attach the characters used in the runs so far.
- Add Gyro Zeppeli when they get added.
Sharif san showed off the Deathless run of this at Segathon 7 in 2025!
A great vid to watch because we actually get to enjoy the cutscenes on this route!
This game was featured at Benelux Speedrunner Gathering #30. Outside of Speedyfists marathon its been hard to spot this game at events.
Take a look at all the events Digimon Battle Spirit 2 has been on the main stage:
As Seen On Tv! - GDQ HOTFIX, It was the first run in the video, and what a great show it was!
Recently I was able to run the game at SpeedDocs event, appropriately named SpeedDogs. Also Real Golden Retriever featured.
SpeedGaming No Kids Hungry Marathon 2023, this was Normal Arcade NG+
The first and possibly only event I have seen this game in was Anime Speedrun Festival 2022! Check it out!
RGLtv's Halloween Marathon 2024
Arcade Normal% run at the event. Was so happy to show off one of my favorite games at the event.
First off, and most recent this was run at RGLtv,
Features commentary by @CaneofPacci and @Joester98, two of the best players for the game.
Running 4 Reels, this event was a while back but I was meaning to post this here! This was the first event to feature the game!
An event I was invited to a while back, Turbo Fest, had an event where they accepted this game. Looking back at it, there might have been more I could have said but I was happy with the overall introduction and game performance. Was able to show off a lot of the tricks from the story mode too.
RGLtv's TurboFest, this was a race that myself and Gahark faced off in! This a must see, and still one of my favorite races that I have done.
As of June 19th this game is now available on the Switch. I'm unsure of all the differences as of typing this but just thought it should be put out there.
Hey everyone, just wanted to share that this game was featured at RGLtv for their Annual Halloween Horror Marathon. Developer Commentary and a good showcase of what you can do in the game. Be sure to check it out if your a fan.
RetroGamingLiveTV presented this game at Halloween Marathon. Really happy we could have the creator of the game and a PB at this event! This was right after the official release too!
I had the good fortune of being able to play this game before release, and also early access builds
Because the last update changed this here are the videos
So your probably looking through the list of Shanghai games and wondering what's the difference with this Dreamcast Entry. And, what might make it one of the best. Success is a great company and thanks to being able to use the Activision Shanghai License they made a great game.
The main mode at the top is the classic shanghai gameplay. However, this time around the remaining modes are all multiplayer, Not just 1 v 1 as we have seen on some previous entries. Tournament, Dynasty, Pandemonium all offer a different way to play the game. Pandemonium in particular is a 4 player 144 tile battle on the same screen.
At this current time I have not added these modes to the leaderboard outside of the Classic, so there's an opportunity to set a record (or even beat that one). They even through in Mahjong which I have joked about on many occasions because still, I don't know how to really play it, I don't see that changing any time soon.
Other then that, rules, theme, icons, and my own run has been added to the board. Please DM me if you get a run of one of the modes and I will promptly add it if the mode is played to completion.
I had a couple of questions, not sure how many people out there would have an answer to this.
It seems like most of the cast has the same damage on normal attacks, and similar hit boxes. However when I do a certain amount of damage the enemy always seems to recover at many points.
I turned off health recovery... Is there a reason its still happening in a match?
Are there more guaranteed strats to get a pin? The health meter in this game seems to mean almost nothing, in a match if you deplete it to 0, you sometimes often still can't TKO or pin an opponent. Am I missing something here?
Playing the Sega Dreamcast version for reference.
