I believe the Obelisk Blue completion best record for this game is based on the Wii U Virtual Console version. With that being said that version differs from the Rom version I practice on. Basically, the Wii U Version gives you the opportunity to buy from Spell Collections 1 and 2 at the start of the game. But on the Rom version, those packs are not available as of yet. That being the case, shouldn't there be separate categories for the record because of this reason? Card packs make a MAJOR difference; which is why I'm asking.

The version I use is the same version, the packs are there because I watch the tutorials at the beginning. Check out my section on packs in my GX Duel academy video here

I can capture gba via gameboy player and a nintendo DS capture card but it looks like shit, and wii u is more official than emulator technically speaking. Wii u vc via homebrew is allowed in the Minish Cap and Kirby NIDL communities which are some of the biggest gba leaderboards there are.

Thanks for clarifying that. I was confused like crazy.

no problem, if you have any other questions feel free to ask on here or message me on discord

Is there an offical wii u vc version of the game? I can't find it on any listings.

No it's not official, it's an injected rom that's played on through the official wii u virtual console. More specifically the rom is injected with a tool called injectiine and launched via homebrew through loadiine gx2. There is more than one way to run homebrew and inject roms though, but that's what I used.

Also just to clarify the current 1st place time on this leaderboard is played on gameboy player with gbi, my wii u vc time is only on youtube
