so maybe its an idea to make a little shorter run then any%, my recomendation is to add a 1st area only run to the leaderbord, since its fun and a little less time consuming

More specifically, the run would start at the same point, and would end upon the last hit on Weiss the Kobold Lord (or alternately, the first frame of black after defeating him, to keep parity with the existing timing method for the any% run). If this is a "do a run and it will be added situation" I'm happy to, just would like to know that that's the case before I put in the practice - I've been constructing a route based on st_all's PS4 WR. A couple people in the Anime Speedrun Discord (https://discord.gg/YtMMvcB5Su) are talking about running this game in addition to myself.

Indeed, also if it's an run to add i would also not mind running it, it's just that i don't have the time to run any% and it would suck is i can't do a run because of that

I completed my first Ch1% run yesterday, though it wasn't very good (1:32:xxish). Planning to do another today before I take the time to showcase it in any capacity.

Just leaving this here for a little extra visibility.

Timing rules were slightly adjusted today, to make things easier to track. Start time is still the character confirmation input - End time is now display of battle rewards for Weiss the Kobold Lord.

This way, no one suffers time loss from celebrating their victory. :-)

Existing Ch 1 runs have been updated on the runner's behalf.
