If your looking for the Samurai Shodown main speedrun group its in https://discord.gg/6Ay9bmb , the majority of the games are fighting ones.

If your looking for info on this game be sure to message @BOSSCAT on discord.

Daraku Tenshi is, and has always been a fantastic game in my eyes, its got fantastic sprites with some well developed gameplay.

The cast is bit lacking in their tool kits, but maybe that would all get fixed, and some additional characters playable when the version we all have been waiting for will release at some point. heavy breathing

In the meantime, if your just discovering this game, or feeling like taking up a cool challenge for this well loved game. Try a speedrun!

I've updated the leaderboard with a few things,

• Added the Character Annotations. So you can note who you use for the speedrun.

• Added the ability, for now, to submit on the same board with another character. If we get more runners I would absolutely be inclined to add IL's but this is basically the same thing.

• Attached the FGC and Beat em up discord. With the state of fighting game speedruns the way it is, we need to make sure we support the Speedrun community and talk about our run to get it into possible events.

• Fixed the background, added a higher resolution image.

• Switched the image for the game to the actual poster that was used for release, and so it fits visually when loading the page.

Good luck to all runners, never give up on this game!

This title is no joke. This game is on an ultimate level of difficulty. I must admit to almost three weeks running this game to get nowhere. Merely doing the important duty of warning you fellow runner. Your execution and patience will both be tested with most warriors including myself wearing the shame of being able to clear this game.

I have blown the dust off this board and prepared it for the fast game players to see, However I must warn you before booting up this game again, it is not for the weak willed.

• Banished the shameful incomplete runs.

• High score gets you no favors, and we know its not appreciated or considered true in the warriors of fighting game community. Removed for all time.

• Shogun, Samurai and Youkai have been enlisted for your choosing.

• The legend of @Dumple was inscribed correctly.

• Added a background and slightly changed the screen, happiness and any emotions will only hinder your gameplay. Embrace nothing, only your fight matters.

• Opened the road to the fighters and group of people who like to punch with buttons, it is said this is a great place to spread word of your findings. https://discord.gg/6Ay9bmb

A final warning, and a best of luck to all who travel the road of the Shogun Warrior, also known as, the Fujiyama Buster.

A great action belt game for the super famicom. Also based on the anime of the same name. Lots of weapon variety, and tons of combos.

The game does little handholding but after a few attempts you can probably clear this with less trouble, especially with their being so many answers to all the enemies you face.

This leaderboard was never set up to represent the game, so I have done several things.

• Submitted @gameO time on his behalf from RTA in Japan.

• Removed any highscore or incomplete categories.

• Removed 1CC variables.

• Removed @BOSSCAT submission to avoid any issue.

• Added Arcade Clear.

• Set the difficulty default to normal%

• Changed the theme, and picture associated with the game to the official box art.

• Attached the https://discord.gg/k5wmNCSaVE Anime Speedrun Discord.

Happy running!

A gem of a game, this one really shows off practicing combos, timing, and item and gauge management. This is one of those games for the Naomi hardware that in my opinion makes it one of the best, it's a bit challenging, and can take some real practice but in full swing this game really moves.

I decided to give this board some real quality of life upgrades, mainly because it deserves it.

• Theme updated (But I need a higher res version of the background I chose.)

• Poster used for the game image.

• Main category changed to Arcade.

• Difficulty properly slotted. Default category is Very Easy% as of now, due to @BOSSCAT having the only run.

• Character Annotations Added.

• Current run updated with the variable.

• Other unnecessary variables removed. We can always add 1CC back as an annotation.

This comes as a top recommendation, with the ability to emulate Slashout now there is no reason not to try this one at the least.

An upgraded version and follow up to Violence Fight, this time you get to even throw hands with a bear!

• Added the annotations for Character choice.

• Fixed the difficulty variable, default is now normal arcade.

• Removed 6 year inactive mods.

• Discord linked https://discord.gg/6Ay9bmb

• Removed any unused or high score categories.

• Current runs adjusted and added notes about emulation.

• Added the consoles, its still available at the time of this posting through Switch, and PSN (PS4)

If you havn't had your face punched in enough today be sure to try the original grime game Violence Fight over at https://www.speedrun.com/Violence_Fight

Violence fight the prequel to "Solitary Fight" and arguable more cheap.

Try your hand at beating this game, Is Ben Smith really the only champion?

• Added the annotations for Character.

• Fixed the difficulty variable.

• Naming conventions inserted, can be changed on request.

• Discord linked https://discord.gg/6Ay9bmb

• Removed any unused or high score categories.

• Current runs adjusted and added notes about emulation.

In the meantime, when your not scared like me of this game, you can try out https://www.speedrun.com/solitary_fighter Though its still just as frustrating at first. Look forward to seeing who takes up the challenge.

Savage Reign, Is a game where not only does the AI not play nice, but you are subject to not being able to use a lot of your arsenal early on. I applaud anyone who can even clear this game.

This game is actually on my hardest fighting games list, close to the top because of its constraints and it being a perfect example of AI reading your inputs.

• Added the character Variable.

• Set the default category to Arcade Level 4.

• Attached the community discord.

• Removed the 100k and other highscore categories for this game.

Shoutouts to Dumple san for having a 1CC of this game with Carol. Feel free to ask a question here, or even better posts tips and strats if you have them.

With so much misinformation floating around this game, BAT 2 Plus might be a contender for most obscure and certainly the least documented. I want to use this section of the board as a discussion place for Battle Arena Toshinden 2 Plus (BAT 2 Plus) in addition to the fgc speedrun discord https://discord.gg/6Ay9bmb The rules, character variables, and theme likeness have been copied over from the original game. Arcade Mode is relatively the same as the previous entry but AI have been improved. Full Game has a different number of versus count for some reason.

The main thing to remember about this version is that character damage has been greatly reduced, along with some properties changed all together.

Some moves now seem to be geared toward ringing out, and some have been altered in a way where they can't be used in a combo anymore. Some combos and axis fixes (get de-aligned is sadly still a huge issue) have been made but all these changes are so great it deserves its own post.

I added @BOSSCAT as a mod because they did a run first and requested of this me. At the time I didn't know if it was just a small upgrade or simply a minor change. So I sunk a large amount of time into Toshinden research, particularly this entry.

The previous entry is here https://www.speedrun.com/battle_arena_toshinden_2

My hope is that a few more runners, when browsing Battle Arena Toshinden entries give this game a try. I might actually be leaning toward thinking this is the best entry out of all the games, though some of my favorite characters really feel like they got nerfed this time around. Good Luck and Have fun.

Overlooked but not forgotten, I decided to not only really give Toshinden 3 a fair shake since being tasked with the leaderboard way back. I decided to really dig deep into every character, and try and understand this game.

Through doing this, I realized a bit of better way to set the leaderboard, more in line with standard fighting game leaderboards and adding many missing things. I hope fans of the series give this one a chance, with probably the biggest cast of characters in the game, there are many interesting things to find, and possibly still times to improve.

• Comprehensive rules have been added. With standard formatting

• Category rules were added as well.

• Properly made it so that the difficulty of Arcade is now a sub category.

• Condensed the Arcade category, since difficulty was added.

• Removed the round variable. There is literally zero reason to change it from the default. Since the default is already set to one. Not sure why this was ever added to begin with, but its gone now, there were only 3 submissions on this one, and didn't compare well to the 1 round.

• Character value set to not obsolete so you can have multiple runs on a difficulty as long as its a different character.

• Characters reordered by place in the actual game select menu.

• Character variable updated and added Abel, Naru, Schultz, Tau, Atahua, Leon, Zola, Toujin, Adam, Balga, Miss Til, Ten Count, Judgement, Rachael, Cuiling

• Even though a lot of characters play similar there are minor differences in special, and strings a majority of the time. Some characters like Adam are completely different to their counterpart.

• Updated everyones runs, double verified, and attached the character variable to them.
