This game was officially featured this year at Anime Speedruns Festival 2025. ASF accepted both the Defeat Majunior and the Any% Category as a bonus. Both were played in the vod, check it out!
Shoutouts to @Krolm for getting Yu Yu Hakusho Tokubetsu Hen into Anime Speedruns Festival 2025!
Decided to go ahead and update some things this week, and will continuing writing the rules, and testing the game further through gaming sessions.
Unfortunately @OMEGACOMA has stepped down from mod and speedrunning. Still looking for another moderator at this time. If you have a suggestion, question, or feedback please post below, or join the discord.
Here are the new updates
Renamed Categories - Any% is now Single Player. Renamed Categories - Any % Co Op is Co-Op (Unrestricted) Added Category - Co-Op (Restricted) Online Added the variable - 2 Player option to the Co-Op Restricted Online. Double Checked all runs.
Explanation of Single Player
Story Mode - Allows the use of points, and is where you can play with multiple players, It seems 5 is the limit on Steam, 4 on Playstation and 6 for Switch.
Speedrun mode - this mode is restricted to 1 player, points are unavailable.
Explanation of Online
Online Mode - this mode is also restricted, some consoles like switch and xbox are only able to invite 1 other person to a lobby. Points are unavailable to all players. You can not leave mid match, and sometimes random people can join your game because lobbies are not set to private (this issue is prevalent on Playstation more but also happens on Switch. ) Some stages like the Dragonzord stage, losing even once on the boss forces a game over.
I have posted and shared a lot more of the information on the discord. All old runs are still staying even after the update. There is no reason to archive them since the time to beat the game has gone down, especially with addition of the Power Blast moves (Attack + Special) , and the current state of the game feels more complete and less buggy then previously.
I hope this helps some people with understanding the modes. Points are also transferable between difficulties, you only need to level to max once on one file. Good Luck Rangers!
Took the time today to make some changes.
- Typed out the rules
- Added the icons to the slots
- Duplicate board has been known about for sometime but because of the twitch update informed src about it.
- Ported AlphaNerd's run. (Great watch btw)
- Submitted my own run from a while back now on youtube.
- Added the sudden death mode.
If for some reason you stumble upon this game, have fun, its one of the better Simple Character 2000 Entries.
So I was playing game today, went and watched the SGDQ run by @tbcr after, they mentioned their was clipping by strafing, however never really explained how to do it.
I can't seem to get the same speed or clip at any of the spots. This definitely a game that would be fun to learn this in, but I tried holding ALT for strafe, and using the SHIFT key to build up speed, but I am not able to do anything like in the video.
Do I need specific cycle settings for the game? Am I supposed to be holding a specific key? Would someone be willing to share more info and an explanation of the various clips in the game?
This game has two endings you can get throughout playing,
2nd place ending, which requires you to accumulate 1500 points or more through video games, usually this requires still doing very well in most stages, but intentionally failing when you have the required points. This ending sees you get the 2nd place prize which is a dress that doesn't fit Maruko chan.
And of course the 1st place ending, which requires you a accumulate 2000 points or higher to see the true ending. However this is rather difficult, because you must get perfect scores in nearly every event.
When you are not able to reach either score you wont see either ending or staff roll.
Discord link was added up top to the Momodora community in addition.
Runs were double checked, I think after the twitch update some will be lost to time.
The leaderboard and names were backed up.
Keep playing Momodora, its very cool to see where the series roots came from!
Odd thing with Twitch Vods and Legend of Princess
This was something I found out before the announcement that twitch was forcing Highlights and Uploads to be backed up because of space.
But all vods for this game on twitch have been removed, mine seemingly went corrupt overtime.
When I went to back the ones up that I had played a long while ago. The video wouldn't play. I deleted my video because it wont even download anymore either.
Just thought that the information should be put out there, it seems the others who also ran this game and have twitch vods linked most likely had the same issue.
I thought it was pretty mysterious and no other game I played had encountered this issue. In fact all 5 videos I had on this game got corrupted. Maybe there's nothing to this, but just thought it was odd was all. Maybe someone had some insight out there.

Last game in the series so far for Senko no Ronde,
Not much to add here except that this is probably the most easily available version to play, in addition to have dlc.
-
Changed the category name to Arcade
-
Attached the difficulty variables for the sub category.
-
Same standard difficult percents this time around too.
Request if you wanted character annotations, or other things added.
Unico, back in 1995 released this, entry in Korean arcades, with some surfacing in rare places, or in some curious arcades in Japan. There's a lot to pick a part here, but as far as Kusoge certified. Anything in the Masters Series is most definitely on the list not just for gameplay but for stealing assets, sounds, etc.
In present times its all fun to enjoy this so please, grab your controller and see what sillyness you can find. It's sure to be a speedrun anyway you play it.

-
Theme is cool, kept it.
-
Added the discord, post the cool findings in there as well.
Hinokakera was a game I recently found out about through @BOSSCAT, although I am late to the party, I feel as though this game released well ahead of its time. It might have one of the heavier systems of an anime styled fighter that I have played, and its got some cool flair to it.
I did some minor updates.
-
Added character variables.
-
Aya Immortal is tournament legal and allowed. As well as she is unlocked from the start.
-
There are special fights after the credits on normal% I am going to assume they are on hard and or nightmare%.
-
Difficulty spikes very accordingly to the name of % - so hard mode is not something I can clear at this time and nightmare mode is just that right now, a nightmare of a task.
-
Double checked previous runs. and self verified for now.
-
Added the fighting game speedrun discord. https://discord.gg/6Ay9bmb please join if you have a question or cool strats / media you wish to share!

We are still looking for the previous versions of this game, contact if you have or know where to get for this doujin fighter!
