Categories are now sorted by difficulty in DESCENDING ORDER

Thanks for changing it! Regarding internet speed, there is no way for Non-JP to compete against JP anyways even with reload.

I might speak from a individual point of view, and not the whole audience. But personally, I want to speedrun this game not for the WR but for a record of personal bests so even though I know that JP is going to be faster than me, I'm not going to go for WR regardless. Furthermore, I don't think there is a way to keep things "Fair" between speedrunners, people will always have inequal grids, and IF speedrunning this game becomes more popular, this becomes a competition of money anyways so there is no reason to compete against other people (if you see what I mean).

Regarding coop, I don't think it's practical to enforce no-refresh. Instead, you just need the host's view. Since the host is always the first person to start a raid. This means that there is no way to check unlawful tools such as Viramate for the other 5 players but I don't think we're at that point yet.

If you're interested, I believe I messaged you about becoming a mod here? I would LOVE to help out and create a community.

I have always assumed that for a proper speedrun, you need all 6 (or 18 in case of Aka and GOHL) to be active participants. Aka you know who they are beforehand. Besides, it is much faster with active participants rather than unknown ones so there's no reason to go for these records in pubs.

Regarding code giving, just use ready check. The raid starts automatically once all the players are ready so there's no need to give code, this gives a good way to record time too.

They are also much more entertaining to watch.

I want to speedrun Faa, Bubs, Belial and SubHL solos but there's no category for them.

Furthermore, it seems hard raids are only done on a 6-man basis (See that only submission for UBHL).

SubHL also HEAVILY requires refresh. Which isn't allowed in the current ruling. I hope that this rule is either removed for these raids OR removed in general and timing could stop on the result screen.

I like this idea, unfortunately it doesnt look like the moderators are present now. But a separate category for cooperative vs solo is a good idea.
