This game plays similarly, but has some different damage and combos, changing up the strategy slightly. One of the best fighters for the Game Gear, this game and its original port on the Sega Master System.

Another rare Arena shooting/fighting brawler from the Playstation Collection. This game lends it self nicely to a speedrun and fast paced combat.

The rules have been updated, and the runs added as of this point. The rarity of this game made it take a bit of a back seat, but please feel free to use this thread to discuss the game or its leaderboard.

While I love all the Super Butoden games, 2 has a particularly fun story mode to speedrun. It's been very nice to see this game get some really amazing runners of the past few years.

Aside from the Tournament modes being added for unlock characters and starting characters. Feel free to request things on this thread or directly DM.

If your interested in the run remember that the discord servers are available, Great places to talk about the tech or just the series in general.

There are some great events coming up which I will post about in the forum for those who are interested!

In July 2022 a ONE PIECE CARD GAME app was released along side the physical game. The game is overall really well done and offers a very balanced and fast paced approach by the nature of the "DON" system.

Currently, the app has been retitled to the "Tutorial App" so there most likely wont be any stages besides the Luffy and Kaido ones to clear unless the game is made digital.

If you like One Piece, Speedruns, Card Games or any of the above feel free to reach out on DM or post additional links to your content for this game below this thread or in the Anime Speedruns Discord over at https://discord.gg/YtMMvcB5Su

A historic game, and a fun interactive qte game experience. This game is worth playing for the visuals alone. However if you do decide to speedrun it and have a question please be sure to message in this thread.

I added the Sega CD version separately, since its the only port that seems to load and operate differently. There is an unofficial Amiga CD version as well, if there is a push from individuals to add more consoles I will but after some research they run nearly at the same speed between versions.

Galaxy Fight Universal Warriors is for sure on the obscure scale of fighting games but its also on the difficult side. There isn't much well documented about the game, and even owning the strategy guide we are still discovering new things. I decided to update the leaderboard since I was put in charge with rules that are fair for fighting games.

-Add versions

After some time, I finally added the Playstation and Saturn Variables of Galaxy Fight, It seems there are some major load differences. Luckily there are no emulated runs, but I think its best times be competitive to their respective hardware.

-Added Perfect Mode

I'm also still unaware of how the perfect mode occurs but essentially if you win all rounds, with no losses or continues you will fight the true boss. You can win or lose on this boss but I think it chooses the ending. Due to the difficulty I am not currently attempting this. I think it works on all difficulties but please let me know if you have information.

-Added character variables

Standard on leaderboards, but I didnt add the secret characters, I think they are only playable on versus mode. If there is a code or unlock list I would be more than happy to have it posted in the comments.

In addition, and as usual,

-Defined rules -Added difficulty for EASY, NORMAL, and HARD -Updated information and discord. -Rechecked and reattached current runs to the correct categories -verified pending runs.

I opted not to add the any percent (1 second) category which I think is available by holding start before rounds on arcade only.

Sorry there is a lot untested still. However that's usually the sign of a game that could use more routing. Hope to see new runners and old runners who might be up for a challenge.

Shaman King Funbari Spirits is a fun adventure versus fighting game for the PS2. It's not the best game, but it was enough to get me interested in the series.

I updated a few things for the leaderboard that were necessary.

• Added the Main Story Mode

• Added the Fubari Battle Arcade Mode

• Renamed Win a Battle in less time possible Any% to 1 Round CPU.

• Move 1 Round CPU to Misc.

• Clarified rules for all categories.

• Added the all the character variables for Funbari Battle

• Added the difficulty settings and explained where appropriately.

• Updated theme, and background pic.

• Updated the discord link to the anime speedrun discord. Please feel free to join at https://discord.gg/YtMMvcB5Su

• Updated the web link to the fighting game speedrun discord. Feel free to join and consider submitting in upcoming events. https://discord.gg/K577FN9CCa

• Tested emulation and it runs very poorly for this game so I am going to ban it. If a new version or its shown running normal please message below.

This game can be a little intimidating because of the language gap but to fans of the series I am happy to help explain the route, maybe there is some things I am missing since I am new to the series.

Thank you again and please post below or message privately if there is any requests or suggestions regarding the game.

About 5 years ago I purchased this Shaman King game, and it sat in my closet for until 2021 when I decided to play it and was amazed to find probably one of the best fighting games, and certainly a great speedrun game.

I am very happy to update the leaderboard and add the main categories finally. I really look forward to more runners participating!

Here is a checklist of things that were done.

• Main Category 'Amakusa Yoh Ro to Shaman King' added, this is the story mode.

• Emulation and Console selection added to story mode.

• Rules added for Main Game, and all categories, clearly defined.

• Tested exactly what difficulty effects through help of members on speedrun.com

• Tested emulation.

• Added the Arcade category, 'Shaman Fight'

• Added the character variable for 'Shaman Fight'

• Split the 'Shaman Fight' mode by default characters and new game + characters. This can be changed on request or split into more sub categories if its shown fight numbers are different elsewhere as well.

• Added 'Sudden Death' mode, the unlockable difficult arcade mode.

• Added the character variable for 'Shaman Fight"

• Renamed the old CPU vs category and moved it to misc.

• Added the proper rules and split the category to avoid future problems or cheating.

• Reattached and re verified all previous runs, including obsolete ones.

• Added a new background and color theme.

• Updated the discord link to the anime speedrun discord. Please feel free to join at https://discord.gg/YtMMvcB5Su

• Updated the web link to the fighting game speedrun discord. Feel free to join and consider submitting in upcoming events. https://discord.gg/K577FN9CCa

In addition to all these changes, I want to invite members to suggest or request things in the thread below. I know the current WR holder Meksu san has been working on a guide and data for the game. So I hope to have a thread or that info available somewhere on this site as well.

This will continue to be one of my main marathon games, but I also want to support it because it really is a hidden gem of a fighting game on the PS1. Thank you for taking the time to read this thread.

DBZ speedrun fans, thank you for participating and following this leaderboard. This was one of the first leaderboards I was in charge of handling and it needed a power up.

The goal is to have a fun and fair leaderboard. If your new here, or an old fan, be sure to post any feedback or categories you might want to have added here.

I added several things that should have come to be standard for fighting game leaderboards, as well as, should be standard with the Butoden series.

-Fixed the rule sets for all categories and main rules. -Clarified the order needed for the 100% category. -Added Easy, Normal, Hardest, and 100% to Story Mode Sub category. -Easy is basically any% so the rules have been defined clearly. -Separated tournament mode by default, and secret characters unlocked. -Tournament difficulty was added. -Runs were double checked.

Thank you for your patience, and I hope current runners and future runners try their hand out at some of the modes this historical DBZ game has to offer.

I'm late to the Gamecube Naruto speedrun train, but is it possible to have time attack mode added as a main category for leaderboard. Its clearing 8 stages using an in game timer. You can also pick the character of your choice.

There is also a single player mode with 8 stages. According to the manual time attack is not affected by difficulty, however this mode is.

As a major fan of the series I have to admit Samurai Shodown 5 is the game I have played the least. I watched Neet Suhiro san's run and realized poppy is really strong but also that the difficulty is different. So I will be splitting the game into the NEO GEO default categories of Easiest LEVEL, Default LEVEL 4, and Hardest LEVEL 8 at some point in the next month or two.

My open question to everyone is, Should Poppy or other secret characters be separate? I am not sure of the tournament legality, as I have never participated or watched. If anyone knows please let me know, for now I will keep them together since its just a code at character select screen.

Shobu Ari!

Amen san did a fantastic run. My only request is that the leaderboard be split. You can only skip cutscenes after you have a cleared save file on a memory card. It’s technically a new game plus or cutscene skip (whatever name chosen is fine.)

I personally didn’t get around to doing the destrega run yet but it would be nice to have both categories for marathons. Japanese and English versions don’t seem to make a difference either.

Is it possible to have IGT and RTA time on the same game for separate categories?

The game I am trying to set up is Arcana Heart (several games in the series), where the Story Mode has a in game timer built in. However, the Arcade Mode, does not have a timer built in and will only show the players high score at the end. The modes are slightly different.

I realize that I could make the board just go off of real time for all categories, however I would like to keep them separate. Is there a way to do this? Let me know if you have ideas or if there is a trick in setting up the leaderboards to do this.

Thank you for reading.

This fighting game was a real special treat when I discovered the SNES classic had been added to the Virtual Console for Switch. I want to thank PeanutFan who passed the leaderboards over to me. I used this time to update several things about the game:

• Split the versions of each game to reflect the major differences in text. Read below to read about possible other reasons.

• Added the four characters as variables.

• Updated the rules with standard format I use, and added the notes from PeanutFan and NerdyNesters comment on banned SNES emulators.

• Further researched the game.

This is a pretty fun fighter for the snes so I hope more speedrunners give it a try, and it feels like there are tons more glitches and routes to be found.

Here is a video which I had to deny but I wanted it to be clear, I think this run Is amazing, but user daradarach uses an input that uses the second controller so the run has to be denied. However, this is worth a watch as it COMPLETLY BREAKS the game. Wild.

Be sure to post in this thread if you have questions or would like to see additional things on the leaderboard!
