If not, I'd like to suggest that we do. This is something that cannot reliably be replicated. It just sorta happens sometimes. I feel like it's not altogether fair to count it if it happens with a clock running. I've had it happen once in a speedrun attempt for me (once in a challenge run) and what actually happened was I was so confused that I killed the run. No doubt, it would be a shame to have to kill a good run over this, but we've all killed good runs for stupider shit :P
If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's an example:
That was the one from my challenge run (didn't save the time it happened in a speedrun attempt -- it was the EMT in Medical Emergency taking damage right as I talked to him that triggered it). What happens is you take damage ¤right¤ as you hit a mission marker, and the game considers the mission completed.
Furthermore, if someone ¤does¤ find a way to do this reliably, I'd want there to be 2 categories for the game. One with the trick (which would become the true any%) and one without. I don't want the route we have right now to be lost, ever.
But that's why it's not even fair to the person running, if it happens. Great, I got a new PB, complete with an 8 minute timesave I will never ever be able to get again no matter what I do. It's not skill-based, and it's not something we can make the game do despite it not being intended. It's not even luck-based, really. It just happens sometimes. I'd be pissed as hell to PB with this in my splits, because it would be nothing that I even did or tried to do.
Yeah I actually do hope it becomes consistently repeatable. It would make for a different and compelling run. I've worked on it a little and so has DPad, no luck so far.
