You may have noticed that the board looks a lot different than it did before. You may have also gotten a ton of notifications about this game. Sorry about that, by the way. The Rumble Roses leaderboard has seen a huge overhaul with the goal of making it cleaner and allowing much more options for running the game. Several changes have been enacted and I hope you guys like the new options that are now enabled. Now to layout the changes that have been made:
All runs pertaining character-specific Story Mode have been moved into the Level Leaderboard, mainly because it's much better formatted to hold all 20 characters.
Extra categories have been added for all Story Mode runs for difficulties, as well as subcategories for meter charge speeds. You can now select the option to play on Easy, Normal, or Hard and have charge speed at Normal Charge or Fastest Charge. (Fast Charge wasn't added simply because it felt redundant. If you guys feel it should be added, then let me now.)
The default view upon viewing all runs will prioritize Normal Charge WRs, apologizes to those who would like to run Fastest Charge, but I couldn't really make more individual categories without it getting cluttered. We're already kinda pushing it.
Based on run by P1ZZAC4T, a new category has been birthed. In this category, you complete all 20 characters' stories in one massive run. The ruleset for this run will go as follows:
- Roses can be played in any order, but all 20 must be played to completion.
- Timing starts at the first bell of the first match of your first Rose. (After the match's loading screen, not upon a restart.)
- Timing ends at the last bell of the last match of your last Rose.
To add we have another category, this time focusing on only doing half the stories. The initial Roses and the alter-egos. The simplest difference between them is as such:
- The initial 10 Roses have 8 matches with cutscences before and after all their matches. They also all fight Lady X and Lady X Substance as their final matches.
- The alter egos have only 5 matches with one cutscene at the beginning and end of their stories.
In this new category, you are racing to become the champion. You start from a particular attitude and utilizing the VOW system you reach the ability to qualify for title matches and then become the champion.
For the numbers:
- Building Hype: 50% Face or Heel to 100% Face or Heel
- Rising Up: 0% Face or Heel to 100% Face or Heel
- Attitude Shift: 50% Face or Heel to 100% Heel or Face
- Attitude Turn: 100% Face or Heel to 100% Heel or Face%
One last thing I want to share, you may have noticed that this board has become a one-man band. Former mod Trash-N-Treasure had asked to resign in order to pursue his speedrun and streaming career. I said that I'd be willing to handle the board and wish him the best in his endeavors. With that, I believe everything has been stated. I hope you all find the changes to the board great and let's hope our runs with this game prosper.
