Well the problem is there's no category that puts round 2 together other than a 20+ hour category. That's not viable for 99.9% of people including myself but like 9 to 12 hours definitely is for a lot of people. ILs are great and all but it would be nice to be able to put them together. I would be happy to run a category extension page if that's something that could even possibly happen or considered because I can think of quite a few that would be actual competitive categories that aren't just memes. I just want to see this game to progress and be brought to it's fullest potential with speed running because it's not a meme game to me and it deserves more options and runners. That's really it.

I don't think NG+ complete round 2 should be implemented as I feel Werster's complete the game run may be in vain if that happened. This category wouldn't take away that hard work because GLC Round 2 and round 1 would not be included.

Round 2 is definitely lacking a completion category besides GLC. Obviously it's a slight issue that someone has to own a copy with round 1 completed. But honestly, no one should be playing round 2 without having completed round 1 anyway in my opinion. But it only takes beating it once.

'IF' this were to be implemented, it could be considered to put a rule where you must do PRIME cup and POKE cup in order if the NG+ aspect is not a desirable feature. That way it stays sort of a more traditional completion like complete round 1, because obviously on a fresh cartridge OR fresh round 2, only pokeball, pika, and petit are available. Having the NG+ aspect would allow ANY order of the tournaments. I could go either way myself. Just some thoughts =)

I would definitely compete in Cup categories if they were a thing. It would be good practice for full game plus it wouldn't be a waste of RNG if it's something that can be submitted. I could take or leave it though. That would be a lot of categories if every cup/ball was included as an individual speed run. Like maybe just Prime Cup Master Ball, Poke Cup Master Ball, Petite and Pika. As those take the most skill/knowledge to optimize at least in my experience of running the game. There's so much decision making in those 4 cups.
