Outfits are generally needed for the bonus that they give, for example Silver Surfer's Vitality costume has a boost stats bonus that gives +4 body, focus, and strike at the first upgrade. This gives him +12 in health and focus which doesn't sound like a lot but when you consider that he has 45 health and 70 focus at lvl 1 it is a huge reason that I can reach Mephisto's realm at lvl 6 or 7

Is it fine to use the more recent remastered release that is on steam? Also is there any sort of character restriction in NG? I saw in the NG run that Blade was chosen before he would have been unlocked in murderworld. Does this mean that I could use a character such as Nick Fury as long as I choose NG with no save file previously?

Upon examining all scenario runs I have concluded that the only offline scenario run that uses Mr. Gold or any other stick figure was your run of DT on nightmare. If you have any other questions related to this topic feel free to ask here

The choice to make sticks online only was a choice made by the moderators to prevent Mr. Gold from being used solo to make the level extremely trivial and so players would not be forced to use Ms. White since she is by far the fastest character. Could you please link the offline runs that have stick figures so I can fix them.

This looks to be the case for all other runs that are timed correctly so I will begin retiming on those conditions I will retime Outbreak, Below Freezing Point, and The Hive right now

I would be very open to work on re timing some of them today. The only thing I need to know is does the RTA timer need to stop at the start of the final cutscene or right as the results screen appears?

Counting and linking these runs shows me that over half of the runs on the boards are incorrectly timed but were still approved is sad to see. Due to the sheer amount of runs that are incorrect I personally think that the runs should be removed as it would take a very long time for the mods to retime runs that did not follow the rules in the first place, but this is not my decision. I would be willing to assist in retiming runs if needed.

I am looking to start running this game and file #2 online with some friends in the near future and noticed an issue on the leaderboards with a large amount of online runs. The rules say that online runs need to be timed in RTA, however there are many runs that lack an RTA timer and are verified using the IGT. I am asking that these runs either be retimed or the rules need to be changed so that the these runs do not conflict with the rules.
