From what I understood the only changes was JNPR being added and a horde mode
That shouldn't effect current RWBY characters runs and they shouldn't have their runs be removed for it.
Patches should only obsolete old runs if they make major changes. And even then if it's faster there's no need to removed runs anyways since they're beatable. Imo you should only reset leaderboards if a major patch comes that makes it super slower.
The original reason we were wiping per patch too was because it was Early Access. NOT full game. There were constant new updates that added entire levels which meant we had to wipe otherwise old runs would be unbeatable.
Just because there's a new patch that adds new characters if that doesn't effect any of the old runs in any way they shouldn't be removed.
Especially since the DLC is optional and all as well.... I think removing all the previous runs was really jumping the gun.

Edit: Also we have early access categories for some reason? When we wiped it for Full Game (As you can see in the forum post FULL GAME!) We planned to phase out and not have Early Access runs on here anymore as no one can compete with them.

Okay well thanks to Accro apparently the bhop cancel with dodge was removed. So that explains that. I haven't ran since combat revision because I hate the new combat but when you log onto speedrun and have 36 notes of games being removed you want to ask around. Didn't realize they changed how the dodge counter worked since they didn't announce those changes in the announcement of the new update, which is really lazy and bad on the RWBY dev teams part ngl. But since it's all solved I can close this thread lol. Myb for not realizing that was removed. Y'all made the right choice.
