Congrats on the run brother.
For future reference, the timer starts when you press "OK" after selecting your team. The timer ends when the final red "X" is drawn through the champion. Your run actually starts at 0:07 and ends at 1:42:56 (on your personal timer) for a grand total time of 1:42:49.
Well the problem is there's no category that puts round 2 together other than a 20+ hour category. That's not viable for 99.9% of people including myself but like 9 to 12 hours definitely is for a lot of people. ILs are great and all but it would be nice to be able to put them together. I would be happy to run a category extension page if that's something that could even possibly happen or considered because I can think of quite a few that would be actual competitive categories that aren't just memes. I just want to see this game to progress and be brought to it's fullest potential with speed running because it's not a meme game to me and it deserves more options and runners. That's really it.
I don't think NG+ complete round 2 should be implemented as I feel Werster's complete the game run may be in vain if that happened. This category wouldn't take away that hard work because GLC Round 2 and round 1 would not be included.
Round 2 is definitely lacking a completion category besides GLC. Obviously it's a slight issue that someone has to own a copy with round 1 completed. But honestly, no one should be playing round 2 without having completed round 1 anyway in my opinion. But it only takes beating it once.
'IF' this were to be implemented, it could be considered to put a rule where you must do PRIME cup and POKE cup in order if the NG+ aspect is not a desirable feature. That way it stays sort of a more traditional completion like complete round 1, because obviously on a fresh cartridge OR fresh round 2, only pokeball, pika, and petit are available. Having the NG+ aspect would allow ANY order of the tournaments. I could go either way myself. Just some thoughts =)
I would definitely compete in Cup categories if they were a thing. It would be good practice for full game plus it wouldn't be a waste of RNG if it's something that can be submitted. I could take or leave it though. That would be a lot of categories if every cup/ball was included as an individual speed run. Like maybe just Prime Cup Master Ball, Poke Cup Master Ball, Petite and Pika. As those take the most skill/knowledge to optimize at least in my experience of running the game. There's so much decision making in those 4 cups.
