Everyone splits slightly differently in this community, so it's entirely up to your preference.
Altering the data.win in any way is not allowed, including unofficial language mods. You must play on the original data.win. If you got rid it of it, you can simply just redownload the game.
This has been considered before, but it’s currently not been added as the routing would be very close to the singular Chapter 2 runs due to the newer, better weapons being so early in the game. Most categories would show next to no changes.
It may be considered in the future due to the broken nature of some of the items in the Castle Town item fusion items area (which may not even be accessible in a non-True Reset run) but this is to be determined.
The only way to reset is to return to the file select screen. This is most commonly done by closing the game and re-opening it
I don't know what you're asking
Japanese is faster in Chapter 1 by about 13 seconds due to a large amount of unskippable text that you have to wait to scroll (Entering the Castle before the Lancer Fight, Prison Lancer Fight, etc.)
Japanese is only just faster in some Chapter 2 categories (e.g. about 1.5s in Main Route Glitched, 0.267s in Main Route NMG/Glitchless) as there's less unstoppable text, and there's a couple spots that lose time. In fact, it loses time in Chapter 2 in Snowgrave categories (2 frames, 0.067s). This is usually only used in Chapter 2 by the highest level runners, or if it's the runner's preference.
It's worth noting in Chapter 2 however that one of the words that Berdly can randomly spell changes from Prodigy to Wise, saving close to 2s, basically making that section faster on average in Japanese.
It's also worth noting that All Chapters categories somewhat recently changed the timing rules to allow the Chapter transition time to not be included. So in the past, some runners would opt to not change language as it loses time too. With the rule changed, now runners can switch from Japanese to English after completing Chapter 1 with no consequence in their final time due to switching it.
In terms of how to become one in this community, it's minimal.
In terms of what they can do site-wide:
-
Verifiers can verify and edit runs.
-
Moderators can verify and edits runs, as well as edit the leaderboard
-
Not 100% sure on Super Mods, but I believe that they're just mods that can also add and remove moderators, and add Super Mods.
No that's not true. Communities giving a form to fill for people to be a verifier, or even rarer a mod, is only a thing in very rare circumstances where a very large amount of runs comes in in a very short amount of time (e.g. Subway surfers).
This community won't put out requests for mod publicly, specific people will instead be privately reached out to and asked if they want to be mod in the case that a new mod is needed. Those people that are reached out to are usually well trusted, and have a strong understanding in the game. Skill level is not a determinant for being a mod, although people who have a strong understanding of the game are usually highly skilled.
Alternatively, if you submit a game to speedrun.com and it gets put onto the site, you'll automatically be put as a super mod to start off with.
Keucher mod is a modified version of the game that you can use as a practice tool.
Keucher mod is not allowed to be used in speedruns that you're submitting to the leaderboard. If you want to submit a run, do the run on an unmodified, standard version of the game.
The following are allowed:
- Survey_Program (Chapter 1 only demo)
- Chapter 1+2 Demo (Any official version, including steam only versions like 1.14 and 1.15)
- Chapter 1+2 Demo v1.09 (Have the runs separated from all other versions)
- Music/sound mods are allowed (with the exception of "A CYBER'S WORLD" and "Pandora Palace"), but note that you are NOT allowed to edit sound files that are found within the data.win file.
The following are NOT allowed:
- Mobile Port
- Unofficial Language Mods
- Sprite Mod
- Modification of the songs "A CYBER'S WORLD" and "Pandora Palace"
- Modification of the data.win

Before Chapter 2, we thought the 26 barrier wasn’t going to be broken for a long time, but you proved us all wrong.
Massive GGs man, you’re nuts at this game.
The promise ashmichda hearts
Spamton NEO% pairs with the previously main board category Jevil%, Egg% is similar to Potassium%, but it features both chapters and some minor route changes. Potassium% would literally be All Bosses without the bosses or Main Route NMG without the 2nd half of Cyber Field and Swan Ride onwards and with a glitch that's already used in Main Route Glitched as a variation or in All Bosses as a complete replication, it shows nothing of significance.
We’ve recently added new verifiers and we are not in need to add any more.
Verifiers are also typically people who are somewhat active in the community and have a strong understanding of the game.
Looking at your profile, you don’t meet these requirements
As of right now, it’s impossible to fight Snowgrave Spamton NEO, Queen and Giga Queen on one savefile.
For Chapter 2 All Bosses, you must beat Spamton NEO (basement), Queen and Giga Queen. All must be done on 1 savefile
