ScotlandGood job, thanks for the work you all do keeping the boards running :)
I don't know if this is covered in the patch notes specifically, but I noticed you can't charge up during the beginning of stage sequence. Which is a shame, was always a free hit on like Stage 2 and Stage 12.
Probably still enough time to get a charge, unsure on Mania.
I believe that is the plan - archive the previous runs and start from an empty board again
Hopefully the leaderboard will be updated soon. The patch was kinda sprung on us but I want to start doing some runs now it's here!
I think a major reason for the patch was to remove them.
Blaze1 retains her interrupt for Diva and her jab stun for Commissioner so I'm super happy.
Here is the full list of changes:

Cool find. I wonder if she needs to be that high up to bounce off the screen too.
Depends what you run on. V04 is current PC/steam version, V03 is current console versions.
On the main menu/character select/etc screens it should say in faint writing at the very bottom-right of the screen what version you are on.
Hit 35 mill, now I wonder what will come first - 40m or the patch ;)
Hi all,
I know the previous thread has been locked, but I am assuming the boards will be reset once the patch arrives, so I personally think another look at the categories is in order.
Having now played pretty much every character at every difficulty, I have a few thoughts on the matter and I wonder if anyone feels the same or if we are happy as it is:
- The amount of categories and possible removal of some.
We have over 100 main categories. It is understandable, but it seems a bit silly if we want to get SOR4 taken more seriously amongst speedrunners.
Easy should obviously stay, as should Mania. Personally I think that Hardest is different enough to warrant staying too. Hard I think should be dropped. Normal I think we can all 100% agree is a pointless category. Boss Rush is its own beast.
If we got rid of Normal and Hard, which are basically identical to Easy except a bit more annoying, we'd find ourselves with 68 Single Player categories (17 characters, Easy/Hardest/Mania/Boss Rush) which seems a much more sensible number imo and would encourage people to run more categories I think.
- Why are the retro characters still under "Misc"?
I can understand why it was decided upon prior to the games release, but surely all the characters should be on the main boards now. Shiva, Max and Skate especially hold their own, and it just looks frankly weird.
At the moment the SOR4 characters are divided by character then difficulty.
But the retro characters are divided by difficulty then character.
I think when/if we reset the boards we should move all the characters to the front page, then clicking each character separates by difficulty.
Again I think it would make it more obvious to newer runners what the various categories are, and would promote more optimisation of all the characters, for instance Shiva at the moment is the fastest run which we should be promoting as the pinnacle of our game, yet the only sub 40 characters (Shiva and Max) are hidden behind THREE menus. It doesn't make sense as an advert for the speed of our game.
Those are my thoughts on it, for what they are worth.
- Promote all of the characters to the main page.
- Reduce the categories to Easy, Hardest, Mania, Boss Rush.
- All 2 Player games can go to Misc.
I don't know if anyone else has a desire to see the boards revamped (I know there have been murmurings of 100%/Deathless/Score Attack amongst others) but I thought I'd put my opinion out there and see what the community thinks would help see the game grow.
Peace :)
Just for fun to track how many runs etc we've all put into the game.
Today I hit 32 million. You?
Beat it already. 5:35 now. Your turn Paul Knives.....
5:43 Stage 1 - Blaze1 - Mania
Super happy with this time :O I thought getting 6:05 was elite
Hi all,
I had theorised this would be possible for a while but I decided to pull it off today just to check.
Blaze1 can use her Star in such a way on the screen with all the Dicks that it opens up the next screen before killing all the enemies. You can then get into the Arcade cabinet / move on to the next screen and load the next set of enemies.
In this video, it appears as though of the two Dicks I left behind, one followed me through into the next screen (lol) and one I guess was still up in the arcade room and got caught. The Galsia also got confused about his spawn, and when I went back to collect them it had locked the LHS screen.
You may be able to fix it theoretically if the Star can reach into the arcade room but I was clearly too low down to try that. Anyway, enjoy the video for science.
Hey,
So looking at the runs above me on the board, when I complete a run and click solve it still takes several seconds for the timer to stop, yet in the top runs it happens instantly.
So what am I doing wrong with the settings? I turned off all the animations apparently but it is still doing it. Should your run end when you click "Solve" instead?
Also the top runs seem to be able to clear the board of several cards in one click. Am I missing something?
Hey all,
So yesterday I finally got the Easy WR (skipped right over 53 and put up a 52:55) making me the first, I believe, person to hold all 6 WRs for one character at one time.
It's a bit redundant now because Paul Knives has wrecked my Mania time (gg Paul) but for a hot moment I had them unified and made this kind of side-by-side video of the levels and the Bosses for fun to celebrate.
Well, made the video anyway, so enjoy. A few times the commentary and gameplay sync up in quite a funny way and I tried to balance the 6 audio tracks to not be completely awful (two of the runs had different soundtracks lol).
Hi all,
This happened to me today. I can't see anything unusual that would cause me not to get the extra life at 60,000 points.
Was on Arcade Easy with Blaze1. Full run will be uploaded shortly.
Any ideas why this happened?
I'm trying to break into video editing, and my name is C. Kelly, so it came to be
