Hello

I would like to know in which category the PAL version is, as it is not japanese, and is different from the US version (no dubbing and no difficulty settings).

Is it counted as a Any% Normal or does it require another category ?

Thanks

Until Lastsincommited adds separate categories for PAL, I would say it should count for Japanese since it's closer to that version.

Understood for the JAP version. However, for which difficulty is it set (there is no difficulty settings in the PAL version) ?

Thanks for your reply !

The difficulty is the same as US Normal as far as I know.

Thanks for your help.

Now I just have to record the runs (I plan to do both Any% and AllPhoto%).

I have submitted my run in the Jap Normal Any% (as recommanded) along with the video link. Feel free to correct my submission if you think it should belong in another category.

Thanks for your help ^^

Besides faster text speed in the japanese version, are there any major differences between all 3 versions? Glitches? Skips? Thanks

Playing and speedrunning both, I didn't notice any differences between PAL and japanese versions. I don't know for US version.

The US version is drastically different, as the layouts (the dialogs for instance) are different. The cinematics are dubbed and the intro has been replaced. I don't know the influence in the speed though.

PAL is just a translated version of Japanese, but slower since it's 50fps capped while JAP is 60fps capped. Its only purpose is if you can't run on the JAP version, or if you care about reading the dialogs. However, that could mean differences when executing some maneuvers due to the game running slightly slower (like jump-grabing and what I call door-skipping).

Lastsincommited decided it was better to split these 2 versions in 2 distinct categories when I submitted my run, but when I talk about records in my runs videos I still take all versions categories as a whole.
