I just tried my benchmark 7char run and finished in 2h47m11s. Obviously this is not a good time in terms of the leaderboard, it's third from last, but that raises the question: what, for you, is your benchmark for an average run? I've only run 1char in the past so I'm not sure if 2:47:11 is abysmal or not bad or somewhere in between. It seems really bad, it's almost 24 minutes per character on average which seems to barely even qualify as a speedrun, but again I don't have much to go off of. I can tell sub-2 is probably considered pretty good, and that 3+ is probably considered pretty bad, but I could use more specific benchmarks.

I was thinking the category(ies) could just be (x)char with the following 3 addenda: In each segment of your run, you must 1) clear the Boss Room on each of the 10 normal floors [for Labyrinth levels, this means clearing both Boss Rooms], 2) clear the entire Boss Rush, and 3) clear Blue Womb (???) by defeating Hush. Alternatively, we could do all of the above twice for each char; one segment going up to The Chest and one segment going down to Dark Room. If you're interested in either of these, let me know which you prefer and what #char run you'd want to do. I personally am interested in running 1char 100%, but I'd try others as well. I figure if people are interested Hyphen-ated might open up some new categories under the "Misc" tab. Also if you've got any other thoughts on rules for a 100% cat, let me know! I'm totally open to feedback, this is just a rough idea.
