Are there any plans to include Devil % (Devil Ending) as a run category on Speedrun.com? I have a solid run of it and didn't know where it would fall, as it's very different from Any%.

Perhaps you're seen that Dragondarch has two separate Devil runs on YouTube. I believe he chose not to publish them here versus mods deciding not to create the category. Someone correct me if wrong.

You should submit the Devil run! It is distinct from Any% like you're saying and has entertainment value.

In fact, looking at the ending requirements on carbuncle.jp/og5/ed.html, I'd support Death and Justice too. Death is the most entertaining "bad ending" and having Reputation + Opinion Leader's ALI = 0-49 with CHA 50+ is strategic for fastest time. An Any% World seems interesting too.

Issue I have with the others as categories is Tristan and Rauny, the sacred treasures and zodiac stones don't count if you erase them before last hit on Diablo. So Emperor/Empress are imperfect World and the rest are forms of the same Any% optimal route.

Definitely entertaining. I really enjoyed that run. Yeah, I learned it from watching Dragondarch’s YT runs.

Would I have to request the category to be added first before submitting, or would the mods create it after verifying?

You should just submit and mention it should be under a new Devil category in the description. You basically already asked and it's not remotely controversial.

I would like to add Devil Ending as a category. I need to have a clear description of what the category requirements are. Same as re-adding Best Ending or renaming that category to Good Ending or Hero Ending. The rules need to be clearly defined and easy to understand. I can add the categories now and add in the Ruleset soon, just want to make sure the entire community is on board with the definitions for those 2 categories.

I think I actually answered my own question as far as requirements go.

Discussion however if some of the categories should be combined.

Emperor Ending and Empress ending only difference is selecting Male or Female,

Hierophant Ending and Priestess Ending only difference is selecting Male or Female,

Sun Ending and Moon Ending only difference is selecting Male or Female,

Those three categories can be combined together or left seperate. The run is no different, but you get a different ending so for now I will leave them seperate, but as far as the speedrun goes, they would be the same pretty much.

But like I mentioned in another forum, only issue with having a bunch of categories and not very many runners is the boards will look empty. I feel like the categories all have their own merit and should be there, and it's better to list them now instead of later when there are 40+ runners of the game.
