I don't think that Steve and Meat Ninja should disable the leaderboards, because I don't think they are any different than the other additional characters that aren't locked out of the leaderboards.

Steve - Definitely
Meat Ninja - Yes, because he makes Meat Boy obsolete.

Steve is banned from the leaderboard because his ability to destroy/create walls and floor allow him to break the game too much, and without too much skill neither. You can finish a lot of levels very quickly and without having to work for it neither.

Meat Ninja isn't as big of a deal, but I guess that being able to go directly through obstacles and not die is kinda cheesy and not worthy of high scores. If you could play as him and get high scores, why would you play as regular Meat Boy again?

Steve doesn't break the game he plays the way he was meant to, and it still requires skill to beat the levels with Steve some of the levels are even harder with him.

How is the ability to avoid death cheesy? And how does that make Meat Ninja not worthy of highscores? What is wrong with never playing as Meat Boy again?

Maybe not playing with meat boy again is bad because he is the main charecter and avoiding death is cheesy because the whole idea of the special skills in to avoid traps that create death.

The ideal for me would be separate leaderboards for all characters. As it is now, to be honest, i prefer them to be only for Meat Boy. See it as the way the game is meant to be played at first place.

I totally agree with that. I'm a Meat Boy player, I love speed running with meat boy only, but if I want to reach somewhere on the highscores I need to play Running Man, Naija and a few levels the Kid. Almost forgot 
Naija is kind of fun now when I actually can control her, but the other guys is just boooring to play with.  is just pure boordom. Running Guy?Man? Yellow little fast thingy is even harder to control perfect than Naija and booring to play with.

I think there should be character specific leaderboards as well as a leaderboard with all the characters.

I usually just misstime and miss the speeding with Run-man, and release to soon and then you can't use the sprint when you want it. I've used him on a few maps where he's easy to use, Hospital levels :) Otherwise I'm often faster with Naija or Meatboy or more consistent is more real.

5-15x choke with Steve, and  you will see why he should disable leader boards. As for meat ninja, 1:35

Steve disables all challenges in levels, whether they are saws, locks, fans or gravity orbs, he can just build past them. Meat Ninja kinda does the same thing but you have to time it. It's fine as it is with them off the boards.
Besides, we don't want the leaderboards to become something exclusively for 100% runners. There are plenty of people like me, who do enjoy speedruns but don't care about getting all the bandaids.

You know you can edit the link to make the video directly start at 1:35, right ?

Yeah, let's enabled a character that is like Meat Boy and can be invencible, kill enemies and more!
