I have a couple of questions regarding the ban placed on ACE for 11 Exit. -Why is there "no point" of creating another category like 11 Exit ACE? -11 Exit ACE is faster than the current 11 Exit route. Why ban a strategy that saves time?

Here is the little amount of information on the forums that is relevant (posts by Volpey on the forums): "We decided that ACE is not allowed outside of 0 Exit. There is no point of creating another category." thread "We used to separate 11 Exit with cloud and 11 Exit NMG, but there is no point. It's just a faster strat that saves a significant amount of time, so if you don't want to learn it, it's your fault." thread

Why can't a new category like 11 Exit ACE be created? 11 Exit ACE is a completely different experience from other 11 Exit categories. 11 Exit No Cape is a category. Over at SMWmemes, 11 Exit No Coins, 11 Exit Pacifist, and 11 Exit Co-op are categories. All four of these other categories seem more arbitrary than ACE, yet they get their own section.

In the second post, Volpey says the cloud glitch is allowed because it saves time. ACE saves time. 11 Exit record is 9:46. 11 Exit ACE record is 9:39. That saves 7 seconds (possibly more in the future), which I believe is significant.

The goal of speedrunning is to beat a game as fast as possible, and if a strat can be performed with just a legit console, a legit game, and a human behind the controllers, then that strat should be allowed.

Mitchflowerpower spoke of a wrong warp he discovered while not streaming that allows the player to warp to World 8. He was unable to perform it on stream, unfortunately, but I think I found what he might've done to warp.

Here is a video of me wrong warping to World 8.

Could there be a new category? Will it change any existing categories? Or is it completely useless for speedrunning? I'm clueless :p
