No damage isn't a speedrun as such-- it's a challenge run really.

I don't see why we couldn't have a no damage category in misc but i don't see the point in having like 8 hour challenge runs on here-- Personal opinion.

i might be wrong here - so correct me if i am, but NG+ classic (if there is one) wouldn't really be any quicker, as in classic there aren't any upgrades or anything, so it kinda removes the added speed of NG+....

The PS4 version actually runs slower, on PAL version - it takes an extra 6 seconds to open the menu alone, without doing anything in the menu.

Also it adds an extra 7 minutes on worth of cutscenes as its the PS2 version, so you're going to be behind any of the PS3 runs automatically.

A japanese version on emulator, wouldn't have the PAL conversion problem, so it would technically be faster than running on PS4 yes, but still significantly slower than the PS3 version.

hope this helps!

Thanks so much c:

Hey, maybe a stupid question that's already answered somewhere - but is it okay to use NG+ when submitting for the level leaderboards? :D

thanks!

hallo! o/ the japanese PS3/360 HD version is the fastest, PS4 is technically just the PS2 version so it has 7 minutes of unskippable credits on the end that add on to IGT, same goes for gamecube and emulators~ Load times are faster too, and so is opening the inventory menu! (especially in the PAL PS4 version, theres like a 3 second difference just from opening the inventory screen and not going anything...)

Hope this helps! vOv
