Hey, so I've been looking into the all stories categories and I have found some interesting things regarding which version you should play.

If you don't feel like reading the entire thing: NTSC-J IS THE BETTER VERSION TO PLAY FOR ALL STORIES.

If you saw my last post you would have seen the following:

NTSC-J has the following stages faster: (TOTAL TIME SAVE ~40-45 seconds) Ultimate Decisive Battle (Goku Early vs. Vegeta Scouter) SAVES ~5 seconds Frieza's Ultimate Transformation! (Frieza vs. Vegeta Scouter) SAVES ~ 15-20 seconds Vegeta's Curiousity (Semi-perfect Cell vs. #16, SS Trunks, Android 18) SAVES ~20 seconds

NTSC-U has the following stage faster: (TOTAL TIME SAVE ~50 seconds) Conclusion SAVES ~50 seconds

For all stories though, NTSC-J also saves time for at least 2 more stages: Final Battle For Earth (Goku Early vs. Turles) Saves ~5 seconds Super Saiyan Goku (Goku Early vs. Lord Slug) Saves ~10 seconds

That brings the total NTSC-J time saved to 1 minute while NTSC-U is 50 seconds. I also want to bring importance to the fact that on NTSC-J it is much easier to get the perfect cell transformation skip on "Vegeta's Curiousity), so overall I do feel as though NTSC-J is the definitively best version for running all stories.

Despite that, I do not see a need for splitting up the leaderboard since the record still has a lot of time to save (5 minutes even), and the advantage for NTSC-J would realistically be about 10-20 seconds.

EDIT: As pointed out by Mr. Challenge below, Cooler has super armor (does not flinch when punched with light attacks) in the English version which makes the fight slightly harder. I do feel that any time loss from this can be circumvented with practice, however take that into account for your decision.

TL;DR: If you don't have a version preference, play on NTSC-J for All Stories. If you do have a preference, just stick to that (I personally will be sticking to NTSC-U for now, but may switch later).

Again, I'm not really sure about the PAL version, but I'd assume it's similar to NTSC-U, so NTSC-J is still probably the best version to play.

I don't know if you realized, but in the Japanese version Cooler doesn't feel the attacks from goku normal but on Europe and American version Cooler feels. Another thing, fat buu on japanese version is weaker than American fat buu

I didn't know about the Cooler thing but the fat buu on the "Conclusion" stage I already mentioned. Also, you do less damage overall with every character on that stage (including Goku).

I saw you doing 1:52:20 for your first all stories run. That's not bad at all. Congrats
