Hidden characters allowed in wr rankings?

Post by TrevHead (TVR) »

In DF is that damn cat allowed in other highscore tables / official WR rankings? What is the genral concensus with hidden characters (both with and without unfair advantages over std characters) in the "official" WR rankings for all STGs?

Usually if there is a ship that has vastly different properties compared to ships, it will have its own table. For example, in DDP DFK BL the styles are pretty much difficulty-levels, Bomb being the easiest and Strong being the hardest ( "It feels like enemies are in strong-style, not the player" )

They don't allow Magoichi? Is he really that dominant? It seems to me he was toned down a ways from his counterpart in the first Vasara, since his melee attack range is so much smaller...

sorry, but I don't know. Also for other games (action, fighting...) there are special rules, sometimes extra characters are allowed, but not for all games.

Goku - Neo Dio allowed in World Heroes Perfect.
Jyazu allowed in fu'un Super Tag Battle.
3 Bosses in Shin Ou Ken are allowed.
2 Bosses in Ninja master's are allowed.
Ryuuko no Ken 3 2 Bosses allowed.
KOF 95 Rugal and Sayshou allowed.
Gouki in super x is allowed.

Usually, if there is a special command to use Boss in fighting games, you can use for hi-score.
