makes sense to me

I think it could be added, although I wonder if there is any demand (like, players who would run this) to warrant it. I would watch a run like this though.

That said, I'm not a moderator of this game.

i'd watch this if it helps

First forum and post!

Anyway, I recently watched this run (arcade, normal) https://www.speedrun.com/swr/run/z5x1r2ey ().

Apparently, you can play 7 stages in Arcade if you do not have Iku and Tenshi unlocked (you can remove the 'score.dat' file in the folder to experience this). This technically does not break any of the current rules ("Timing starts on character select and ends when the result screen appears after you win the final battle (showing which cards you've received as a reward)"). I checked and every other players' Arcade speedruns play 9 stages.

I think one of the following should be done:

1. Update Arcade rules to force 9 stages to be played in Arcade (you must have Iku and Tenshi unlocked).
2. Create a new Arcade category for 7 stages.

I prefer the first option. Any thoughts about this?
