With the game being new I'd like to make this post to talk about Categories & Rules

Full-Game Runs:

Story Mode:

The Run will go up to Chapter 5, I'll add a board once someone does a run

If a lot of people end up running chapter 4 instead I may add it to misc. (I don't really want to add it though as the run is contained within chapter 5 runs)

I will add All Fighters Single Handed Mode, Like in KFD, But you will have to wait on this one. There is strong evidence to suggest that Paid DLC will be coming soon and this will affect the category. If there is paid DLC, DLC runs will be main and Non-DLC runs will be misc. (Due to it not actually being "All Fighters"). This is subject to change.

I would like to add Story Mode any%, where you play through chapter 4.

Yes, the game certainly shows the credits after beat chapter 4, so I would like to chapter 4 to be Any%, and chapter 5 to be Best Ending. This matches other modern titles (Blowout Blast or Kirby Clash). I think both would be good main categories.

To be honest, Chapter 4 is inside the Chapter 5 run, With the route also being exactly the same, so I don't see any reason to add Chapter 4

I believe that categories should be defined by in-game definitions, and I think 1st credits is a good enough definition to say that you have "beaten the game".

I believe so, too. So The current story mode category is about beating all of the chapters, so it should be "Story Mode any%" and "Story Mode All Chapters"

there could also be individual chapter categories but idk if anyone would be interested in that

I don't know either because they really only focus on total score instead of time.

Is the video link fine? if i do a run on twitch for example? Does that count too on Level Leaderboard? I was just wondering.

For the All Single-Handed Cat., you can do subcategories under a larger tab for "non DLC" and "With DLC". It can be similar to how smash does their All Classic Mode with sub cats for the base roster and for DLC pack 1.

Is there 100% completion category yet? If so, what are the requirements? While I don't have video proof, I do have screenshots proof. While I don't have my 100% completion run down to a fraction of a second, I do have it down to rounded to the nearest hour. While it's not exactly the best run time, I think it would be a good starting point for people who think they can (and probably will) do better than me.

So if I were to submit a run for the final chapter, a category would be made? My friend and I have been playing a lot of the towers recently and we’ve been thinking that a category for the towers would be awesome. If you could make it, that would be awesome.

Whoops never mind I see now!
