yeah but Yoruichi has the super 2. and you can combo that into taking over half of ichigo's health (i gotta try the other characters) Also yes yamamoto is good however the really powerful combo i found for him requires ALL of your resources (your FS bars and your Super bars) and both H.I and Yamamoto are slower than yoruichi
I've been playing Rukia mainly due to her Super B, it deals alot of damage for 1 bar and allows you to follow up afterwards as well. Her Super C also above average i think for level 3 supers, though the animation is a bit long, she's the only characters I've really tried since she was my main back when I used to play this game and I've gotten alot of sub 3 minute runs.
Other characters I think have potential is Kenpachi due to his high damage level 3 but it might be outclassed by Grand Fisher, my secondary character, he's very fast on the ground and has some of the best damage output on his supers for their bar investment, they are also very short animations for their damage output. Chad is another character I think might have potential, with good damage normals with quick animations and high damage supers. Nemu also has fast dealing combos but probably is only suited for easy difficulty since you would want to reset your combos after and air combo and not get a knockdown. Ikaku also has a high damage level 1 super but it causes a knockdown. I'm not sure why people are running Ichigo as his kit seems very poor for a speedrun, lots of knockdowns, both of his supers knockdown and don't even really deal high damage for their bar cost, his level 3 has the potential for long combos but these take a long time and the damage scaling will cost you alot of time as well, and his normal combos aren't particular high dps either.
So at the moment I think Rukia might be the best choice but if I invest more time I think the Grand Fisher might give her some competition for that slot although I haven't actually done any runs with him.
