Hello everyone,

you have may or may not noticed that in the last couple weeks and months some things have changed on the leaderboards. Regarding the Moderation and the rules for the individual categories. As part of the "Rebuild" Process for D:FF. To make it more interesting an understandable for new players and also more fair for existing runners, we have made this post. To explain what rules and requirment we decided for submissions and stuff.

Running on Emulator? Running on Emulator is allowed (we advise PPSSPP v1.2.2 or any newer version). Technically Emulator is faster than console. However there is a way to softmod your PSP to use ISOs on it). Which makes the consoles as fast as the emulator and with that comparable to each other.

Timing Rules: First of all. We ask you to use the correct timing and check it yourself. Submissions without the correct timing may or may not get rejected until you submitted with the correct time.

Start Time: For the any% and 100% Category the Time starts as soon as you press "Back ○" after creating the new savefile. For the Individual Stories like Prologue%, Character% etc. the time start as soon as you press "YES x" on "Play this story"

End Time: For the any% and 100% Category the Time ends as soon as you see "The Final Blow" after the last Chaos Fight. For the Individual Stories the time ends as soon as you see "The Final Blow" after the Final Fight of each Story.

General Rules: For 100% ---> After the Final Fights (even though the timer is already stopped) please show in the Submission Video that every Story is completed by 100% (means Prologue 100%, every Character Story 100%, Shade Impulse 100%, Distant Glory I + II 100% and Inward Chaos 100%)

For the Character Stories you are not allowed to have any progress in one of the other stories (except Prologue). Making use of the BonusDay is allowed. Making use of the Calendar Boost is not allowed. You are not allowed to pre-customize your character (not even go into customization and instant leave)

For any% and 100% it is allowed (and recommended) to make use of the Bonus Day and the Calendar Boosts. The character you use for any% and the order you do in 100% doesn't matter

Videosubmission: YouTube or Twitch or whatever? Doesn't matter. Whatever suits you better. Runs without Video get rejected instantly. Your VOD needs to contain the whole run (and a few seconds before and after the run). Except more informations are nessesary for example for 100% (look above)!

Please ensure that your video has at least somewhat good quality. No Delay between Sound and Game. Have gamesound etc. This isnt a necessary rule but keep in mind that we have to watch these Submission and dont wanna get turtured in terms of videoquality OpieOP

If you have any questions left. Regarding rules or the game in general. Or wanna hang out with other Dissidia Speedrun Friends please join our Discord for more information ---> https://discord.gg/3uBdaYs
