Hello fellow Speedrunners, Guess what ? I'm French, it's already the 15th here, so let's open the Board !

All the categories and Rules are posted, be sure to read all that mess, it was a nightmare to do. I'll try to track the patches on each versions.

For the future categories, Individual level will be considered and of course, it has been confirmed, there will be DLC as well.

Have fun, let's Break this game !

Hello fellow Speedrunners, after the high demand, spam on pretty much all my social media places i decided to dump the game in.

The categories and submissions will be available the 15th in order to let people the time to discover, play, enjoy the game then start routing and speedrun it at their will.

If you have any suggestion for the categories please feel free to add a comment, thank you for your patience.

Have fun.

Hello @KelbySakaluk

• i've been wondering why you didn't separated the characters considering they're pretty different in their stats.

If you don't want to and it's perfectly understandable i may suggest you to add a variable with their names so we can state which character was played when we submit the run.

• The second question is purely cosmetic, i always like to decorate pages and i'd be down to create some background/logo/icons for the page if you're willing to change it. It would make the page more attractive :)

• Concerning the regions that aren't added i was wondering if the Japanese version got differences.

• There's also a DLC pack that used to be released on their SEGA website, i was wondering if those are allowed in a run. There's a costume pack, Cindy as a playable clone of jean and a stun gun.

Hello my fellow Speedrunners, i have finally changed the whole board to implement a new category and it was not easy !

Blindfolded Runs can now be posted on easy mode only due to the other difficulties being impossible to manage without vision.

The other categories got changed to support a single variable in order to make the new category work which means i had to move your runs 1 by 1 (INCLUDING THE OBSOLETE ONES) in order to match their respective old category.

If a runner lost his run / PB on the board please, make sure to contact me by mail on the site or Discord/Twitter. It is possible i missed some of your runs so don't panic if they're not here.

Thank you for your attention guys and GL on your next runs !

Hello fellow Speedrunners, i have a good news for you tonight, i've worked several hours to bring you a complete separation between Original Hardware and Emulations/Virtual console releases.

The Runs done on Steam SEGA collection got updated to PC. Please be sure to verify if your runs are still on the board and if the changes have been made, if not, feel free to message me on the site (Messages are available now on the top right of your screen) so i can change it.

Good luck for the next runs.

Hello my fellow Speedrunners, it's about time we do that so let me get straight to the point :

• Beat 'em ups method of categorizing runs often allow players to use the character they want (according to how different they play in the game and aren't just basic "clone") The difficulty is also a big point in the runs, sometimes we use the easiest and hardest difficulty, some other time we even allow every single one of them depending on how drastically different they are. It had good results overall (Streets of rage 2) but also bad ones when you allow too many (Streets of rage 3)

• In the case of Final fight 3, the enemies on Expert are more numerous and some of them got more HP but the biggest difference is the AI being really aggro, most of the things you can do on easy gets often punished on Expert making the run incredibly more complex.

Now @huxxny said he acknowledged the differences but you must know, at that time, easy runs weren't good and didn't reached the level of expert run done by Murphy.

So now we clearly see that even a sub 21 is possible on Easy, i propose a community vote to create Sub categories for each characters and routes (including the misc categories) adding Easy and Expert.

• You can also voice your intent to add the other difficulties such as Normal and Hard if you feel like the game need them.

I do only vote for Easy and Expert, it doesn't seem important to add the rest of the difficulties seeing how close the times are, 25 mins gap between each difficulties so the extreme gap is around 20~25mins which is more relevant.

i'll tag some of the active runners to get a ping to see the thread has been created, @Nobleboy77 @LRock617 @insight @cooney890 @manticor5

Thank you for taking your time to address this subject everyone.

Hello my Speedrun fellas :

The River City Girls page is officially decorated and ready for submissions !

I tried to be as simple as possible, the characters can be selected in the submissions, i've separated co-op for the simple reason that variables can't change the number count of player.

If you have any Questions, suggestions, comments, feel free to post them here, have a good time and keep the streets clean !

Hey hey people, i have requests about this game but before i dive into this i want to point out that the run time still haven't been corrected.

The rules say, Timer start on character selection (not on character control which i'm fine with it.)

However the timer stop when you last hit the boss, again this is something i have nothing against, some stop on fade out some on character control lost. the problem is, the runs display different split, which i was confused already when posting my WR video.

Linkameister stop when he lose the control of his character. This has to be changed, either the rules or the run time.

Okay now in the requests, like pretty much the majority of beat 'em ups i work on, the characters are essentially different from one and other and each got their own category such as Final fight, Streets of rage, Undercover cops etc... I'd like to have them as Main categories with their name cut into difficulties as sub categories, or the names as sub categories.

Second thing is more like a nitpick, the site did posted something about it already year ago, Any% as the name of a beat 'em up category is not very useful, the game is only completed the same way unless you find some wrong warp like in SOR1. The term is pretty much useless here.

Last of all, i'd like to expose the game to a larger audience and get people involved into speedrunning this game because in my opinion this is one of the best for the console. Despite having some flawed Hitbox the game run perfectly and inputs are very accurate compared to most of SNES beat 'em ups.

Like i did for Streets of rage 2, 2-3 years ago, it would be nice to arrange the theme of the game page, put some care into it, it seem stupid at first but when i did that to the page, adding the categories, themes and started to put up guides and give the game more spotlight the number of runners just multiplied per 10. I don't mean it is the case for all the games but it helps.

I did a run of it one year ago in the bunch of speedrun i wanted to add to the site, the version is different from arcade so it should have a category apart.

This article show the details : http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/riot-city-riot-zone-crest-of-wolf-%E7%8B%BC%E7%9A%84%E7%B4%8B%E7%AB%A0-arcade-turbografx-16-cd-wii-1991/

Hello fellow speedrunners, people have voted on SOR3 forum for other categories and various changes.

This post will list everything that has been changed including the work in progress :

• Victy is returning in the main cast

• Super characters are now available

• Shiva and Ash will be accessible either by entering an in game code or Game genie cheat.

• Good ending (7A) and Bad Ending (7B) path has been added. You can now finish the run on the bad ending through city hall.

(This is still a Work in progress, don't get alarmed if something is missing)

Hello Fellow Speedrunners, the categories have been updated after the vote of the community here's the listing of all the changes and adding :

• Roo is back as main category

• Hard difficulty is now the default run

• Shiva (In game code) has been updated with a new set of rules and the actual runs done on him have been changed in order to match the new timing method.

• Adding of the SUPER characters (In game code for now)

Hello fellow speedrunners, i have added to the board the Misc categories for Ash and Shiva with specific rules to respect in order to run them.

Victy has been added to the category for being a secondary character as well.

Hello fellow speedrunners, i've added a Misc. category on the board.

Shiva have been created with a specific set of rules to respect in order to run him.

Also Roo has been added to the category for being a secondary character.

So yeah like the title say, i did a very sloppy update after realizing a little mistake in the board i made.

Hard mode difficulty in this game doesn't allow continues so the mode is not playable in Any% category due to the Reset used. If you do that in this mode the game will just display a "Start new game" each time you reset the console.

I had to remove that value but all the variables are attached either per group "Full game" or by a single attachment so i had to create 5 different subcategories in order to get Any% 2 Difficulty.

Some of my runs got deleted and other was just lost so i had to post everything back.

If there's bugs, something i did wrong or if i simply didn't found the way of just grouping multiple selected categories to the variable tell me and make me feel dumb thanks !

Happy speedrunning :D

Hey Misterscoot, it looks like the board accept USA version of the game which is impossible because the game was only released in japan.

This error also duplicated a run on the board.

Also the category cosplay% should be deleted since out of context categories / memes are not allowed on main games.

Hello fellow speedrunners, this has been around 2-3 years since i wanted to run at least one sailor game for fun, after realizing i was still playing it casually and never actually tried the other games, i decided to do a big marathon of all the sailor moon games, and i even tried the Visual novels and crappy quizz/puzzle games LOL

I enjoyed it so much that i started to run multiple games (the decent ones huh :p) i was surprised that the leader boards wasn't tied together in a whole Series.

After submitting my runs and getting a mod place in one of the game i thought it was enough to be able to request it but unfortunately i need to be mod in most of them and have the approval of everyone.

So here we go, i need the power of each of you to be able to do this, i'm asking for the moderation and approval of this Series idea which consist of regrouping all the existing games already on the site :

• Bishoujo senshi sailor moon (SNES)
• Bishoujo senshi sailor moon (Gens)
• Bishoujo senshi sailor moon R
• Bishoujo senshi sailor moon (game boy)
• Bishoujo senshi sailor moon S
• Bishoujo senshi sailor moon another story

And later maybe be adding more games for example like :

• Bishoujo senshi sailor moon (game gear)
• Bishoujo senshi sailor moon (other game boy ver.)
• Bishoujo senshi sailor moon super S
• Bishoujo senshi sailor moon S Kurukkurin
• Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon (Arcade)

You can also just agree and decide to not mod me ! Specially for the RPG one that i just play for now casually. thanks !
