RE4 runner rankings

This is the definitive (subject to change) rankings of selected RE4 runners (who have all done at least one run of NG Pro). You may ᴘʀᴏʙᴀʙʟʏ not buy a higher rank or a place on the list.

Yuushi
-Absolute Kamisama of NG Pro. Watakushi very much sonkei suru. He only needed around two weeks to beat Phaero's WR done with the new (now old) cheat timer. He doesn't need to grind mindlessly for years to get a record or be consistently better than everyone. Uses the most balls-to-the-wall strats for maximum timesave and also looks cool in the process (notably Yuushichains).

esfrenchie09
-Current WR holder (is expected to be beaten by Yuushi in about a month). Ninja Gaiden record holder. Deceiving name as he is not a baguette. Could be running good games without RNG like Ninja Gaiden Black.

Morse66
-Founder of Minecart skip (aka Mountain Dew aka Metroid Prime). I'm told he purposefully likes running this game on lower FPS because otherwise he would be too hard for others to beat. Is of the opinion that one cannot call themselves an RE4 runner without playing the Gamecube version. Bounced back from hiatus to create a new Waterhall strat for everyone's headache.

Phaero0
-An Austrian god grinder with a love for cats ᴀɴᴅ ᴀɴɪᴍᴇ ᴛɪᴅᴅɪᴇs. Ran NG Pro for roughly 13 years before
achieving record that he kept for about 2 weeks. Has about as many hours in the game as attempts. Beat both ultra difficult mods Life in Hell and Rising of Evil whilst killing every enemy (for which he was nominated Lifetime Achievement Award). Nice guy overall. I was not paid for this comment. I was also not forced to move him up after he achieved the record again. No matter how many gift subs I get, I will not move him up in exchange for them.

Dracula
-The son of an oil king from the UAE. Spends his time off the game sand surfing and counting his money. His PC is powered by two GTX 1080s and an oil refinery. Despite this he has yet to achieve WR.

|#7 |
 ---
Top_Tear_Waifu
-Relative of Tony Hawk and a huge weeb. Runs the same game twice over (DMC1/RE4). Could be doing something worthwhile (like Nekopara ASMR streams), instead is stuck in RE2 for the #twitchrivals money. Has shown signs of escape from RE with good games like DMC3 and Scooby Doo: Night of Hundred Frights.

TrichaelMan
-Some Smash player. Enthusiastic LRT advocate. Likely a part of the RE4 Shadow government (Retired)

 ---
|#9 |

zombyslayer4
-Cool guy and runner. Owner of the arguably coolest beard/moustache combo in the community.

 ---
|#10|
 ---
KuBaTheBear
-Obnoxious nickname spelling. Probably due to being Polish.

 ---
|#11|

Yamatti
Good runner. Even better at English. Pushed out of the top 10 due to inactivity.

|#12|

JTB__
-Lax person, was on GDQ to spread the gospel of the greatest speedgame ResidentSleeper4. No Merchant memer. Has a 4-part Novistador emote (!freesub)

SeemNome
-BR Weeb. 3/5 categories submitted to are NG, so he's ok in my book.

Kingmuda
That dude who always says hi to me. Has a better time than me (no points reduced).

Mysterion_06_
-Alright.

Airsnick
-The moment I saw him I knew he was trouble. Definitely didn't have anything to do with his affinity to anthropomorphic creatures. At least he doesn't do No Merchant :). Retired.

Auddy
-Big RE4 cultist, has made an autosplitter for the game and others.

Special mentions
----------------
(LetsGet)Pitted
-Used to be the very best but his hands broke (hair was never working in the first place). Made an IGT reading autosplitter and is currently making the most fair (or unfair, depending on your perspective) timer for the PC version. Inventor of turbo category. Loves RPGs and getting salty in Overwatch. Made a two-week comeback upon the release of RE2 remake. Almost unrecognizable after having grown facial hair (previously thought impossible)

Distortion2
-Beat my time just to spite me (not really, pls strim DMC3). May or may not come back to beat everyone as he has the documented ability to snag any record for himself.

A lot of runners love to use under_scores_ in their names. Ranking not affected by this fact I promise ⁽ᵖʳᵒᵇᵃᵇˡʸ⁾.
