Alright, I decided to add a quick sort of update to the forum, regarding the leaderboard and some other stuff I will be addressing.
First off, the Speedrunning Discord: For those that are interested in running, or just learning about Bayonetta 1 or 2 (and 3 when it releases in the future), here is the link to the Bayonetta speedrunning discord: https://discord.gg/DkVK85x (never expiring link)
Second, there have been a few requests to add categories to the leaderboard. While I agree that could be a good idea, I am hesitant to do so in fear of it only being there for just one runner (and to an extent, a "one run and done" kinda thing), or worse, just to have the category remain empty. This is why I'd like to urge any potential runner to request their category on the forum, so we can at least see if it also spikes other peoples interest.
Third, there are some resources and guides available. Among the resources are save files and splits for certain categories (and the discord server link). The guide section has some general information and also stuff partaining to particular runs. If you feel there's resources or guides that should be there, please feel free to ask, or put it on there yourself. (The resources tab doesn't allow you to add stuff unless you've done a run for some reason, though.)
Lastly, if there's anything unclear about any existing runs, rule etc, or you just have questions about the game, please feel free to ask.
I'll probably add NG+ Normal, soon. Also, what rules would you like to have more clarity on, and in what way.
