I must say, after watching your POP Any% run, I don't exactly understand the problem you have with this run @Akuma_apn

I do believe it could be split between two categories as it is indeed much more impressive to actually finish the game on the game's terms. I don't know how complicated it is for @NihilistComedyHour to do though. I do believe it does count as finishing the game as it's pretty common in speedrun to exploit a game's coding weaker point to your advantage.
