Mega Man 9's listed time

[Red_Shifter]

Why does the listed time for Mega Man 9 on the game list use the IL table time rather than the run on the page?  The IL table doesn't really play through the game since it holds certain advantages like having every weapon and being able to do Wily's Castle in segments.

I didn't know if this was a technical issue or not.

Usually the listed time just defaults to the faster time, so IL tables and segmented runs are usually faster than full runs.

There is also the technicallity where the runs in the time attack give the player all the weapons instead of having what weapons you earned... Thus would be another reason why it would be a separate category...

It is a separate category. What they are talking about is the time that shows up in the game list page (each game only lists one time on that page, which is the shortest time of any run on the actual game page).

Which that is funny, because the current fastest Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness run is (N/A). Wow, I'm so fast, I'm not able to be timed!

Close. Shortest time of any main game run on the game page. (This explains the next post by VG.)

I guess what the OP would ask is, "why is the IL table time considered a main game run?" The answer is that as long as the same character is used and the same maps are used, NG+ games are considered main games.  It gets confusing though; I was even confused trying to word this correctly.

@Enhasa: why are the games listed this way (leading to the N/A times VG noted)?
