Hey guys :NiHiYo: Artemis here

Now that a week has passed and we've had some time to consider how we're going to treat v1.2.4.5, some changes have been made to the leaderboards. I've tried to make the changes that make the most sense and clean up the boards a bit so we don't have a bajillion (technical term) categories.

The following changes have been made:

1. The addition of an Xbox One console to submissions
2. 'Meme' runs are now listed as misc.

• Meme runs include: Pacifist, ASD, and 1HP ()

3. "Microsoft" has been added as a run type for EX% NMS, 100%, RBO
4. For these same categories, Standard has been renamed to "Steam" In order to do changes 3 and 4 I've had to do extensive fiddling with the leaderboards (which meant the resubmission of many meme runs). If your run is missing, I'm sorry. Please resubmit it. No runs should have been removed and I'm pretty sure I got everyone but mistakes happen.

v1.2.4.5 has extra content as one may have expected. In order to obtain the Ice Magatama (K Item) one must now defeat Cirno (btw this boss fight is epic imo). Due to the inclusion of a boss on a key item no less, there are some special rules for some of the Microsoft categories:

EX% NMS Historically, Magatama Skip has been permitted in the EX% NMS category. The justification for this was that it was possible to get the Dash Knife by damage boosting through the fire barriers (and abusing game mechanics to make it safer/easier was just the most convenient way to do it). However, now that a boss has been added to the item intended to get you through these fire barriers, Ice Magatama must be considered a required item for the run.

Rules for Microsoft EX% NMS: *Complete the game including the Extra Stage as quickly as you can

Time begins on file select Time Ends when the mech closes at the end of the Extra Stage

• To be explicitly clear: Time ends when the hat closes the mech.

You must collect all items in 'A' column:

• Slide Knife
• Double Jump Knife
• Grip Knife
• Screw Knife
• Dash Spike

You must collect the Ice Magatama, obtained after defeating Cirno in EX Stage.

You may not use any glitch that allows you to enter parts of the game that are not normally accessible with the items in your possession.

• An example of such a glitch would be Yellow Skip or Teal Skip. You may not use any glitch that places you out-of-bounds or allow you to enter a room by any method other than its in-bounds entrance.
• Using the Grip Clip glitch to pass through a thin platform is allowed, but using it to exit a room through the floor is not.

All patches from v1.2.4.5 onwards are eligible.*

100% Not much really changes for 100%. All that changes is now there is an extra boss to beat. Due to this taking some extra time, it gets its own Microsoft category.

Rules for Microsoft 100%: *Complete the game including the Extra Stage as quickly as you can

Time begins on file select Time Ends when the mech closes at the end of the Extra Stage

• To be explicitly clear: Time ends when the hat closes the mech.

You must have map completion at 100% and also have your "pause card" filled out:

• All abilities (Slide Knife, etc.)
• All skill cards (Chainsaw, etc.)
• All HP, MP, and Time upgrades
• All jewel towers broken
• A vending machine can is thrown in every wastebin
• All bosses (including the extra bosses) beaten.

Picking up free shop tickets or purchasing items from the store is not required.

After the run, please wait through the credits and pause the game to show your pause card.

All patches from v1.2.4.5 onwards are eligible.*

RBO RBO naturally now has an extra boss as well. I wonder how it'll impact the routing. Either way, you'll now have 1 more boss to clear in the EX Stage. Fingers crossed that you guys figure out Meiling Skip for Microsoft version(s)

Rules for Microsoft RBO: *Beat the bosses in reverse order as quickly as you can.

The accepted order is as follows:

1. Meiling
2. Reimu
3. Cirno
4. Flandre
5. Remilia
6. Patchouli
7. Marisa

Time begins on file select Time ends on the last hit of the Marisa kill. You must wait through the credits after the Flandre kill (otherwise the game doesn't save)

All patches from v1.2.4.5 onwards are eligible.*
