I removed my runs for goal B and E because the shenmue and yakuza 0 verisons should here their own leaderbored. Iam at a huge disadvantage to anyone playing meme or saturn and its Bs and unfair. So im requesting spreate leaderboreds Thank you.

If we keep adding a category for every version's difference - we'll end up with a chaotic and messy leaderboard with tons of categories. And how it started - I can already tell there's gonna be another runner tommorow taking down their runs and demanding a seperate category for Saturn's 60 FPS or for the Dreamcast's phony Ferrari logo XD

Saturn Extra Easy was a situation where one version had the advantage over every other version (including the original which is the basis for this leaderboard).

In the case of Yakuza/Shenmue, it's the other way around - all the other versions have the advantage over it because this version (which is actually a mini-game within a game) has limitations. And trying to accomodate to that would be like... going off-road, maybe even crashing, if you know what I mean.

Regarding your comment you made in the other thread, the one on the stricter timer - that doesn't play a role in speedruns. If you're aiming to get a top 5 time in any category, you'll finish any route even with the timer set to Hardest. Not sure what's the timer in Yakuza set to, Hard, I assume?

On top of all that, the fastest ever No Gear Gacha run is still done on Normal difficulty. So yeah, it's more difficult to compete that way, but that run proves it's possible (GemaEuphoria's route D is also Normal difficulty)

I agree with obiiwan on the Yakuza/Shenmue versions. Leaderboards for versions of the game emulated in other games is taking things a bit too far. I think it would be better to have more runners competing on the main versions, rather than everyone trying to be number 1 of their specific niche version of the game.
