Hi, correct me if I'm wrong, but I have the feeling that currently, to score a speedrun, I need to do a lot of tries and wait for the good seed in wich the most aggressive strats works (Thinking mostly of the ironclad). Sadly this remove an important part of why I love Slay The Spire, it is the consistency of runs, being able to adapt my build of the game choices. Maybe if we had a category: all characters or maybe first 3 ascensions on a character, this would give more room for defensive builds in the speedrun world.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this, so don't hesitate to tell me everything :)
If there are enough people interested in ascencion 20 speedrun. That could be added as I discussed on the discord with SkinSinge, this is for me the best part of the game and hardly achievable but the most beautiful speedrun could come out of this.
We previously had "3-win" category per characters, which would do what you're asking for and was the entire reason we asked for it in the first place, but it seems like that was removed.
I think most people speedrunning StS with the Ironclad under 10 minutes can totally do it three times in a row without failing, you just need to play a bit safer (and thus slower yes) but I do not think it will bring much consistency. Maybe I'm wrong but from my point of view I still think A20 speedruns are better. But both could be added as well !
