Hello everyone! I see things are becoming a little more busy around here, which is fantastic news! I love seeing more people get into speedrunning this wonderful game.

I've made some pretty drastic changes over the past few days, from the look of the boards to the addition of several categories. I know having so many new categories might be a bit clunky at first, but I am here to help! If you need help understanding what a run is, or when to start/finish, please let me know and I will respond as soon as possible!

I've also decided on adding two new things that I think will help keep things properly organized.

1.) This one in particular will take effect as of this post:

Please show your chosen characters in the character select screen at some point in your video before your run starts. You need to show yourself actually selecting the character(s) so that it's easy to tell what kind of slot (CAW or non-CAW) they are in.

Because we're permitted to customize outfits/appearance on our default characters, I needed to put this rule into effect so I can determine accurately whether or not you are using CAWs or non-CAWs. Runs that were submitted previous to this rule will still be valid, so do not fret.

2.) I've decided for the time being to not add milliseconds to runs, primarily because this would only be beneficial in Exhibition runs where the absolute fastest time is essentially concrete already due to first blood matches. The milliseconds would then just be a factor of human error with timer presses. However, I have added an ability to add in-game time for your runs if you wish, for whatever reason. This can be used as a tie-breaker of sorts for runs like the Any% Exhibition category, where it seems that the game timer is sometimes different (will finish at either 2 or 3 seconds) even if the real time is identical. Adding in-game time is not mandatory for any run currently.

Once again, if any of you have any questions, please feel free to post in the forum or PM me. Good luck with all of your runs, and be sure to have fun!
