With the latest update (1.22), alongside some relatively minor changes, an entire sequence of rooms have been added just prior to the fight with Sura.

Whereas previously you'd be transported into the room with him, and would merely need to move up to initiate combat, you now start in a separate room below, and must fight your way through three unavoidable locking rooms that spawn various chaos minions. Once you finish those, there's another room with some traders, before finally reaching the teleport door that takes you to the original final room with Sura.

I've not attempted a speedrun through this segment, but it unavoidably adds a significant amount to the total time of any new runs in all the Chaos Trial categories, meaning no new runs can be competitive anymore.

I've added a clip of the new addition here, to show what all this adds. Not sure what this will mean for new runs and categorization, but it's a topic worth discussing:

I think about that right when I trying a new update myself. maybe make a new tabs in speedrun? something like "Any% v1.22" "True Any% v1.22"?

cause yeah, other speedruns on previous versions currently irrelevant as I understand, so a new era WoL will begin

I have done a run with the new update, and while the run itself isn't competitive to begin with, when I looked at the video the new rooms add about 30 seconds to the run. While this wouldn't be an issue normally, 30 additional unavoidable seconds compared to a competitive run of under 180 seconds is a lot. I did try to rollback the update so that I could possibly compete for maybe top 10?? but I was unable to do so.

Below is the run I submitted for review. If verified, it would be 24th.

Seems the mods have agreed, and there's a new split between Legacy and v1.22 modes for each category.

The addition of the extended stage on v1.22 would indeed cause every run form then on to be longer. We asked the community on Discord what they wanted and most agreed on making a split for Legacy and v1.22.

In addition, i have also fixed the auto splitter for WoL so people should be able to run v1.22 with that as well now.
