I'm making a forum post about this change before I go ahead and do it because it is a very tough decision to make. With such a small community here, I would much rather keep all runs on the same leaderboard, splitting them up just makes the community seem even smaller than it already is. However, after extensive testing it has come to my attention that the PAL version has a SIGNIFICANT advantage over the ntsc version, emulation or not.

In short, the PAL version runs about 20% slower than the ntsc version, which would seem like a disadvantage, however this also causes the AI to run slower without actually hindering the players movement. This allows for a lot more combos to be made before the AI has a chance to react, drastically lowering the difficulty of every stage. You can see my testing live here (start at 1:47:30)

I found that for every 20 in-game seconds of PAL and NTSC time, an enemy will drop the same number of blocks, however PAL time is MUCH slower, resulting in a worse overall AI.

If you have any questions or problems with this, please let me know ASAP. If nobody has any issues, I'll begin moving PAL runs into their own category. Thanks!

I've taken the time to write a distinct list of rules for each category since a lot of the runs differ in timing. Some runs have the name selection screen pop up, others don't, some are run on different versions of the game, some are run on emulator, etc.

In general, Every run is timed RTA (since some versions have very different in-game timers, most noticeably PAL), every run starts when the difficulty selection screen disappears (bonus mode starts when the background stops moving) and every run will end when either the name selection screen pops up or when the stardust begins to count up after defeating the last enemy.

Let me know if you have any questions/improvements!

Hey there!

So I'm currently running console and I'm not a 100% sure how sister luck works, I think it works the same as PC but I'm not sure. Either way, could somebody generously explain exactly how sister luck works on either PC or console? Specifically:

• Can sister luck be setup? Can you reset until perfect luck is achieved then start a new game and recreate it?

• If you lean through the wall to pick up a paper, are they always the same? Is there a certain paper I should grab? Is there a way to always make that paper complete the mission? What happens if there's a paper on the desk and only two in the wall?

• What happens if you kill a sister (lets say black) and pick up the paper that says kill the sister in black but the mission doesn't end?

• Is there a good backup if it doesn't work? What is the fastest strat in each scenario?

Thank you, any amount of info would help out a bunch!

Hey guys,

I recently uploaded two runs, an easy mode run and a normal mode run. My normal mode run was verified, but then my easy mode run was verified as a normal mode run and replaced my old one. It should be two separate ones, one on easy and one on normal. Not sure if I just accidentally labeled it incorrectly or if they got mixed up somehow.

I am more than willing to become a mod and fix this if needed. Thank you!

Hey there! My name is death_unites_us and I'll be working over the next however so long on running this awesome game! I grew up with it and know that I have a lot to bring to the leaderboards, and seeing the status of the game now I'd love to breathe some new life into it and maybe get some old runners to come back and give it another shot!

I don't know who all is still active here and whether or not I should look into getting mod status, so if any mods are still around please let me know! If nobody is around I'll talk to an admin about becoming a mod so I can help bring some new life to this great game!

Hey guys, thanks in advance for the help! So I currently run the game on console and am looking at routing Brigmore Witches on console, but I can't get any of the wall clips to work. I've looked at a lot of PC runs and everybody goes about it slightly differently, but none seem to work on console. Has anybody successfully done a clip with daud's blink on console? How much different are the DLC clips? Should I be going about it in the same way as I do in the run of the normal game?
