Congratulations to MarthSR for improving his world record via his latest speedrun submission to the Aflame leaderboard.
With this improvement, MarthSR also earns the title of Category Leader for Vanilla Chaos based on his former world record.
The Category Leader title for Vanilla Order was formerly held by clymax via his mod showcase run here, which has a time of 2:22:52 in the category of Vanilla Any% Order.

It is rumored that a fanfare skip has recently been under development. Does this mean that a sub-hour run is no longer TAS-only?
Mod and Event Info
The romhack is the Aflame respinner for Dragon Quest VI on the Super Famicom here.
The run was submitted as part of the Whirlwind Four-Job Fiesta event here.
So, what do you think? Is DQVI: Aflame a mod you’d consider picking up for speedrunning? If so, what are you waiting for?
