New Category for Twisted Metal 4!!!! We now have separated Individual Levels into separate categories. Tournament Levels (Campaign ILs) and Deathmatch (Customizable ILs) with more refinements on the way for Boss Characters and maybe even a Cheat% category for these 2 new ones.

Rules are changing for PS1 emulated games in the series! Showing Emulation speed will soon become mandatory for any verifiable runs. The PS2 Emulator PCSX2 has been banned from the PS1 Titles in the series as it, by default, has a roughly 2.2x Loading Time speed increase. Hardware wouldn't be able to keep up if it stayed as an option. Speaking of options soon to be moved, Twisted Metal 2: World Tour has had an important paradigm shift regarding a secret sitting in plain sight. Twisted Metal 2 PC has until now been hiding a 10 second shave off per load and a spammable input system with no theoretical limit. So now we have a new board under construction, announcing Twisted Metal 2 PC!!!! Who knows maybe even by time this article is posted the board will be fully operational. There is even plans to make guides to help with actually playing the PC version as it's quite quirky.

With all the sweeps that have happened since the last article you figure we won a damn Sweepstakes. This next section is dedicated to the Janitors killing it in these games.

Runner inSAMity has swept the entire Cheat% in Twisted Metal 1995 and Minion Cheat% in Twisted Metal 2 even receiving the first Sub 4 Easy Mode Cheat% ever. Speaking of first ever sub 4 for Easy Mode. I have personally broken the Sub 4 barrier as Outlaw 3 in Twisted Metal 3 Cheat% Creme Puff!!! Not to mention for the time being I have swept Twisted Metal 3 Cheat% Single player entirely! Including 2 records that remained standing for years. Still on the topic of Twisted Metal 3, runner VicariousNick has taken the record for 100% Medium Diff Category, in which you have to beat the game once as every vehicle. The run has improved over the prior record by over a half an Hour.

Then news about him, the Smallest Brawl of them all, Twisted Metal Small Brawl! Runner sharkywastaken has winded up a hell of a Spirit Bomb and destroyed All Challenge Levels on all Difficulties!

But wait...what's that...

All that was left to stop the 33 Run reverse sweep was my own Meet Your Maker Medium run. I'll have to retaliate to get my championship belt back but all jokes aside these runs are CRAZY

More Records have been broken on top of all of this, Small Brawl Cheat% has finally been beaten after a year and as a brand new off-meta character Crimson Fury! That was allllll me baby. sharkywastaken has also toppled Tournament Easy as the Semi you know and love, Darkside which used to be considered worse for runs then Outlaw and Thumper, well Darkside had so much potential hiding within. Runner Najawa11 is still just making constant improvements on ILs and raking in golds!

New runner cecron has debuted with Twisted Metal 4s new category Tournament levels,

New runner floppydisco62 has dropped right into TM2 and TM3 Cheat%s! Glad to have you guys!

Discoveries have been found in Twisted Metal 3 after years. As it turns out because no one would have really wanted to test this but if you use the built in cheat codes for removing items and health-kits from the map that the game runs significantly better and load times are improved, this new strat has been brought in by me to beat the prior supremacy in Cheat% is next level difficult as you can't pick up super weapons that are the strongest in the game like normal. Cheat% Pure Lunacy has been beaten with NO GOD MODE, NO DEATHS, NO SPECIAL MOVES BESIDES REAR ATTACK, SPECIAL ONLY!!!

RapidRuns4Fun is back at it again with a new and exciting Speedrun Bounty for you all!

Jetrunner Demo $600 Speedrun Bounty - Hosted by RR4F

New game any% is a category of ULTRAKILL that is not ran by many. With it being a category extension, its existence is either unknown or overshadowed by more popular categories. This event aims to bring attention to the category with this event, including a cash prize for the top three runs by the end of June starting the 7th of the same month!

The rules for this event are as follows:

- Players must run the game on the most up to date version of ULTRAKILL (patch 16d)
- Standard NG rules apply. This includes things such as the run being timed in RTA and must have a livesplit timer.

The Cash rewards will be given out at the end of June based on the top 3 runs. The only requirement is a valid Paypal account.

- 1st place will receive $60
- 2nd place will receive $25
- 3rd place will receive $15

Only runs submitted after June 7th will be accounted for when determining placement.

# Why should I run this?

A good question! NGany% is not ran by many top level runners in the ULTRAKILL speedrunning scene. Due to many qualities that the NG category has specific to it, such as its length, many established runners write off the category. The run is scarcely done and as such there's much room to improve and break the time down!

NGany% also keeps many things in mind when running that other categories dont. Such as style management, Consistency, and overall cost vs benefit when running. There are many points where taking an early timeloss can save you time later on, and as such makes the run unique in the ULTRAKILL scene!

As an ULTRAKILL runner myself, I hope you check this category out! Its a unique twist from other categories, still getting off its feet, and overall pretty fun! hope to see you there!

Starting on June 7th; this event is made to bring attention to under-ran categories in the ULTRAKILL speedrunning scene. This friendly challenge aims to not only bring attention, but reward the most fierce!

Welcome to the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Speedrun Page!

Unfortuntely due to a recent patch, a debate around downpatching has appeared causing ongoing conversation around whether to allow it or not.

So I ask for a few more days for the boards to go live
