Over the years we've discovered many differences in glitches, tricks and general gameplay between the NTSC and PAL versions of Rygar. Today the speedruns of the two different versions are vastly different. Because of these differences (and the recent PAL version competitiveness) I'm proposing we separate the current Any% board into two separate boards (Any% NTSC and Any% PAL).

I hope this isn't seen as an attempt to diminish WolfAeterni's accomplishment with Any% on the PAL version because that is not the intention but rather to make room for competition on PAL without invalidating the history of any% on NTSC.

Separating the boards could potentially increase activity on the Rygar boards which I see as a positive. It's possible that folks who already have an NTSC Any% time would be interested in the PAL Any% category as a separate run and vise versa.

I'm going to float this proposal for a few days and unless I see overwhelming opposition to this idea, I'll separate the boards. Thanks for listening and please share any feedback you might have.

I've noticed that sometimes after you get the Raj Diamond, you don't actually get the extra life. You'll have 1 life left after elevator pit death (Just after the Diamond).

In the past, I've thought the diamond glitch was bad, but it turns out ducking under the 2nd stone head is about 3.2 seconds faster than taking a death there. So it turns out the diamond glitch saves time...quite a bit of time.

Does anyone have any kind of information regarding what causes the diamond glitch? I've noticed that it's been streaky for me in the past...I'll get it a few runs in a row sometimes, but I have no idea what causes it.

Maybe I'm missing something else that makes the diamond glitch bad? Let me know what you Super P freaks think.

Hello! I'd like to propose that we create a category where one would race to achieving 1 million dollars in total assets according to the balance sheet. Total assets includes cash, equipment and land which means you don't have to liquidate to achieve a cash only category goal. I think this will be a good compromise between length of run and completeness of game exploration. Let me know what you think! :)

Does anyone have a guide or advice on how to execute the area 8 wrong warp? Thanks!

Hello, I took a look at MetroidMcFly's 100% run and made an outline document if anyone is interested.

Please let me know if there are any inaccuracies...its hard to catch all the item swaps with that menuing speed :P
