Hello folks. We might need to talk again.
A couple months ago we created the No Major Glitches category in response to Floor 5 Skip. While we also took that opportunity to ban some of the more blatant cases of pause abuse in general, we allowed some applications to stay.
However, after some time of exploring these possibilities, a number of top runners have expressed concerns that a few of the things still possible don't really align with the purpose that the No Major Glitches category was created for.
We're considering to add the following instances of pause abuse to the existing list of banned uses. This would make the list include all currently known uses of the glitch, and effectively ban it completely:
- Extending button timers.
- Preserving enemies that should've died.
- Jumping off of water rapids.
- Dodging the pizza box transformation
- Preventing enemies and projectiles (and cheese balls) from spawning
We want to be transparent and give everyone a chance to voice their opinion on this. But at the same time, because pause abuse is a technique that only top runners really use, we would like to give their opinion more weight on this particular matter.
To do this, we're taking people's opinions with a Google Form, which will ask for your opinion and a link to your SRC profile. Note that, while we're particularly interested on what top runners have to say, we will still be considering everybody's opinion!
Noise has arrived to the leaderboards, alongside Swap Mode, both in normal game and CE. You can now submit runs as the gremlin! Go ham or go stupid! Whichever works! No additional rules are given to either categories, yet.
