It's too early to say how all the characters compare to each other, and that Browny would be the only one deserving his own categories. I mentioned in the other thread I think 1. is the way to go eventually, maybe give runs more time in the oven though.

I understand having a variable for Character choice could maybe dilute the boards a bit, but the characters do each feel unique enough to me to where I think it'd be nice to have a board for each one. Not only a gun's main shot but also Overload varies quite a bit between each character, and mobility differs as well. The Hard Corps characters especially have a lot of mobility and a few unique mechanics.

What a run!

My line of thinking is it's simply an extra thing the runner has to think about that's unnecessary, since you can mash through the results screen and splitting on a black screen is easier and requires less effort than keeping track of exactly when the boss's HP is at zero. I ran The Messenger and it ends on final boss hit but that game has an autosplitter which was really nice.

Edit: Though I guess if an autosplitter were made for this game it'd be set to split at boss HP 0 anyway. Ah well just a thought.

I think this is a much easier spot for runners to split and would lead to more consistent final splits. I know it likely won't be an issue as far as times are concerned but I think it would feel better.
