A friend of mine and I both did runs of Subspace normal and were wondering if a category could be created for that difficulty.
So am I really not going to get a response? If the answer is no, it would at least be nice to see it. I know the mod isn't dead because a run was verified 4 days ago.
Well, the idea is cool, but also problematic, imo. If we create a new category for normal, shoudn't we do the same for all the other difficulties? In that case we'd end up with 5 categories on both single player and co-op mode, and an underwhelming amount of runners for each category. We could of course only make a category for normal, but that would be slightly weird.
What I think would be best is to, just like when selecting what console or region, you should be able to select what difficulty you play on and have that count as a regular run and be compared to all other runs. btw, there comes some advantages when playing on a higher difficulty; while it is harder to beat enemies and bosses, autoscrollers gets faster, and you can even do many more damage boosts than you normally could. In fact, the best time for a segmented run was at 1:50 on Intense difficulty. All in all, I do not see any problems with running on Normal or any other difficulty, but it should not be a separate category. So we should call this category "Subspace Solo/Co-op Any%" instead of having "Easy" at the end of it, and then we just pick which difficulty it was at each individual run. That's just what I think anyways.
