DLC in All Challenges Category

Is it allowed to have any DLC on your console for a Run in the All Challenges Category? For Example if you got DLC like Heihachi Set oder Akira Set, which contains a head and an outfit, it gives you a significant time advantage over runs that don´t use that. It makes the Challenges 10 ("Collect 5 types of custom headgear") and 33 ("Collect 3 types of custom outfits") more or less redundant. I also wanna mention that a run, I think by TheMissingLink (but not sure), got verified that used this which was said by him in the info text. The run got removed but i´m certain only because it had no video.

Well no rules are against using dlc so if you use it your run will be verified. If you have video evidence you can try for WR

Now like idk about how much faster it is for this but on Unlock All Char's, it says its banned "DLC is NOT included or allowed AT ALL" but like I said, not sure about this category. But as DarkAbe says, it "gives you a significant time advantage over runs that don´t use that". Maybe we should split the categories or like we could keep them on the same. Like idk. Does anyone know how much it does save?

I would say it saves at least 7-10 min because you don´t have to use your Hammers for 33 (3 Outfits) or 10 (5 headgears) and can instead use them for 2 (Smash Run) or other everlasting events.

And I could record it if I got a time save like that.

Yeah, I got a 36:36 with an extremly bad run, but sadly no video (i´m working on it), but I believe at least sub 32 is possible maybe even more.

Hey man go for it! Do you have splits and a DLC list so I could see what you're doing? That is awesome!

@TheMissingLink will probably upload something to the Guides tomorrow since it´s like 3am right now.

England

Ahh okay so my run was no DLC so it clearly has a difference. Which brings me to, what do we do @MODS

Can DarkAbeShining update the guides?

England

No the reason they know I didn't lie is cause I had a video. You don't

I can look into this when I get home and see if DLC should be banned or not, Main reason for banning DLC in Unlock All Characters is cause if you don’t have the DLC you have to buy characters for a speedrun which I don’t like and also it’s not really doing anything to enhance the speedrun, but again I’ll let ppl into it when when i get home for other categories

Someone needs to look into splitting the categories between No DLC and DLC. Also there may need to be a Current Version VS. Any Version run considering Update 1.1.6 grants an extra outfit no matter what you erase with save data.
