There was a lot of action on this Cruisn USA Speedrun page in recent weeks. New categories were created for blue Jeep and non-blue Jeep NG+, and a sub 20 was posted as the new WR in the NG (New Game) category with the discovery of that 2 player speed boost strategy.

Though I was impressed by the new 2 player strategy and WR time, I did personally feel that this should have been placed in its own category.

Nevertheless, something seems to have happened since all this occurred... Categories seem to have been reverted, and the sub 20 is no longer atop the NG leaderboard (now incorrectly labeled "Any%" for some reason).

Some forum posts here from a "Deleted user" may have explained what happened in regards to the reverted categories and times, but those posts appear to be gone.

Anyone able to provide details?

The rules state:

Default settings (2 rounds, 99 sec, 4 stars).

However, I noticed a lot of runs which were submitted with 3 star difficulty have been "verified".

On the 30th Anniversary Collection which I'm playing on, Street Fighter II Champion Edition "Default" difficulty is 3 stars, but per the rules of the "Arcade Mode (Normal)" category, I've been playing on 4 stars (which is harder).

I've uploaded a video showcasing default difficulty settings for various SF2 games on the 30th Anniversary Collection here:

Should previously submitted runs with 3 star difficulty be disqualified? Or should the rules be modified?
