I just came up with ideas for some speedrun categories for this game, the bottom two being meme runs: (All in a blank save file with no DLC) (any game system)
Any% - Beat every story level as fast as possible
100% - 100% the game and find the Yavin 4 extra as fast as possible
Episode[_]% - Reach and 100% a specific episode as fast as possible (eg: Episode 1%, Episode 6%, ect...)
[Trilogy]% - 100% a specific trilogy as fast as possible (eg: Prequel%, Original%, Sequel%)
[Planet]% - 100% a specific planet and its space area as fast as possible (eg: Tatooine%, Crait%, ect...)
Characters% - Unlock and purchase all playable characters as fast as possible
Ships% - Unlock and purchase all flyable ships (including minikit ships and capital ships) as fast as possible
Wookie% - Unlock and purchase the 'Wandering Wookie' character as fast as possible
Klaud% - Unlock and purchase the character 'Klaud' as fast as possible
Gonk% - Unlock and Purchase the character 'GNK droid', the character 'Gonkataine', the ship 'GNK Power Cruiser', the extra 'Super GNK droid', and extra 'GNK civilians' as fast as possible
Love these ideas. I would like to see an Episode [_] Any% and 100%, and maybe a minikit% could be cool. There's so many options with this game, it's ridiculous
I really like ConMan12's idea although don't forget that you would have to unlock Rey Skywalker as well.
I would say no because then you would have to play through all of the sequel trilogy just to unlock her. It would add at least two hours to the run
But if the objective of the category is to unlock all Skywalkers, you have to unlock Rey because she is a Skywalker. You can't just leave out a Skywalker.
"Upgradless%:" Self explanatory but basically no upgrades are allowed
"Low%": Complete game with Lowest amount of collectibles possible. Least Collectibles > Time. Like Zelda Twilight Princess etc. unsure if this would include studds.
"90% / 1000 Kyber bricks": there's an achievement for Collecting 1000 Kyber Bricks, so maybe a catagory for people who want to complete most of the game but doesn't require adderal to finish like 100% kekw
"All Mission Challenges:". Any% but you have to complete all mission challenges, got this idea from my last speedrun game
Locking this thread and similar threads due to the upcoming launch of the board. If you have suggestions for categories that do not end up on the boards, please join the discord and direct discussion there.
Keep in mind as a general rule though, we do not have plans of adding categories to the main board that are either A ) Some arbitrary segment of the game (Unlock Max Reebo%, for instance) B ) Categories that no one has done a run of C ) Categories that are very similar to the categories that are allready on the board (Max% and Unlock All Characters are too similar to 100%, for instance) D ) Challenge Runs (Minimum Button Presses, Damageless/Deathless runs, etc.)
Glad to see all the enthusiasm for this game, hope everyone has a great time running this game!
TSS Rule Updates:
Any% and Sequels Story Mode:
- The 'Piece of the Resistance' quest after 7-5 in The Force Awakens must be completed, reaching the Episode Complete screen.
- For a category such as All Minikits where completing the full Story is not an objective of the run, it can be skipped.
