Just to mention that in the course of adding new runs from Nicovideo and other sources I am coming across some anomalies so apologies for any agitation of the leaderboard while this is ongoing.

I have now resolved the status of previously posted Tokumi2008 runs. One of them is duplicated on a nicovideo channel which duplicates other runs in other courses. Based on the volume of good runs I have found, and research on a mame forum, I am inclined to believe Tokumi (deceased) is the rightful owner of those two times his youtube claims. I have also found another youtube channel which duplicated existing runs without giving credit - no runs will be submitted from that channel nor from any place which does similarly.

If you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to ask. At the very least this will give new runners far more meat of a ladder to tackle in terms of climbing their way up as well as providing more useful information in terms of how top players tackle different corners.

This is just an update to mention that a very knowledgeable person gave me sufficient evidence that Tokumi2008's runs were TASes such that I removed them from our board. Tokumi never submitted his runs for consideration and at no point has he done anything wrong - this was a mistake on my part based on suspecting a higher level of play in Japan similar to Tetris the Grand Master. Please feel free to still watch Tokumi's two runs - they are an outstanding display of a perfect game and may well help new runners to get a feel for how they should approach the game. I have asked this contributor to scan over other added runs here and in SHOG for any evidence of anomalies. I am very grateful for his help, not least since the WR in beginner is now grindable again :D
