As Grim Salad once requested, I feel like the creation of a new category would be extremely dope, since the update with Hypnospace Plus limits the player to skip just one day at a time (you can report the viruses on November 5th and the songs only on the 26th), thus making any following runs on the current version is fairly more difficult, since the player is obligated to play Dylan's shitty-ass game twice. I believe that the update is really dope as well, but considering that the leaderboard is mainly composed by the old version runs, it can be fairly unfair to console players such as me to compete with players of the old version, like the current wr holder. Besides, it's likely that new console players will make some more runs with Hypnospace addition on Xbox Game Pass

PC player who just submitted a run, but... Seconding this, I just prefer the Hypnospace Plus of the game for a start but adding current version runs opens up the possibility for more categories and also console players etc.

I believe there are more cases in current patch as well, meaning all cases gets to be a little bit longer too.

Sorry for the delayed reply, and I'm not sure if there was a reason to make a new thread but I shall continue the conversation here anyway.

For the record, I haven't played the "Plus" edition too much, but it sounds like having "original" and "plus" would work over having "old(er) patch" and "current patch"? I forget what patches existed between those, but I feel it's very unlikely someone would return to a patch between 1.04 and the first "plus" version patch.

I'm happy with us adding something for the new version, should we just split the categories we have right now with an "original" and a "plus" variant? I know that wouldn't apply to the "HAP Skip" category though, but would apply to the other two, correct?

Thanks for the reply! I think so, too. And will the "Plus Edition" guys (I think it's just me and two more people) have to edit our runs or can you just like manually reassign them to a new category?

They could just be reassigned by a mod, or you could edit them and then a mod re-verifies them, both the same outcome.

Sorry for the delay in getting stuff set up.

For "Any% (No HAP Skip)", I added a subcategory called "Version" which is either "Original" or "Plus", and assigned all the runs I could find that should be assigned to "Plus". This physically puts the two different versions on their own boards, basically. The only other changes I could think of making to this are:

• Renaming the subcategory values to something else, as I'm pretty sure they did patch the skip before the "Plus" update came out; maybe changing it to "v1.04"/"Later"? I'm up for discussion about that.
• Adding a console split, as I assume there are still parts that are slower than a (good) PC; this idea probably applies to all the categories anyway.

For "Any% (All Cases)", I found out that the "Plus" update adds an additional case ("MALICIOUS SOFTWARE (GENERAL)"), and KitLemonfoot even does it in their WR. It's a minor case which KitLemonfoot mentioned a while ago in the Discord channel that they hadn't wasted any time getting it, so for now I've just added an annotation variable (same as above, "Version": "Original"/"Plus") so it's a little more obvious. I have also assigned the runs that needed to be assigned. The only change I can think of making here is:

• Renaming the annotation and it's values to something else, not exactly the same as above but something like "Case Count": "15 Cases"/"16 Cases", as there's nothing stopping you doing only the "original" 15 on the "Plus" version; it also describes the split a bit more I feel.

For "Any% (HAP Skip)", I made no changes, as this can't be done on any other version besides the oldest anyway.

Some more random thoughts post doing all this: it is a bit weird to have 2 categories which are very similar (No HAP Skip and HAP Skip) and then split one of them it's into subcategories, over just putting them all in 1 category with multiple subcategories. Even if we wanted this, I'm not sure if it's easy/possible to merge categories together on this website.

For now I'm leaving things as they are until I get some more input from anyone who wants to give it.
