Afaik it's you and me hahaha -- and I've been spectacularly busy irl this month so I appreciate you lighting the fire under me :)

• Offline play: Absolutely should be the standard; in the future where this blows up as a speedgame (ha) I could see 2P/full party speedruns being a Thing if there was interest, but I don't imagine that would be anything other than multiple fresh files, since the scenario you describe seems even too silly for speedrunning Q-UP haha

• Hacker quit: Totally fine, it's the single closest thing to discrete speedtech we got :)

• "I win.": I'm personally conflicted on this, but I'm also a sufficiently fresh file girlie that I am even kinda leery on the Novice character items, and those are a substantially lower ask to acquire than this, so I own my bias here. (perma-turbo gets a pass because it just makes the run more humanly interesting to do rather than being excruciating to get to Diamond in.) I've gone ahead and verified the Anomaly run that uses it for now, but I'd be curious to see where your testing lands (and also if it's possible to provide a file that has it unlocked to other runners, but I assume that's not the case).

• Mid-match quits: Also curious to see what the Mynt testing looks like, but definitely the intent in setting up these leaderboards was to ban it, in the interest of keeping the run mostly about playing the game hahaha

Your runs are up now and I'm amending the rules to include these, I'm so happy to see people interested in this game <3

Runs do currently include difficulty as an annotation so they can be compared on the Any% board! This was mostly just for convenience in setup and also avoiding having a ton of empty boards; the plan is to split them out into full proper subcategories once we get multiple runs of varying difficulties. Excited to have you picking up the game, and looking forward to your submissions! <3

If by "reconsidered" you mean moved or deprecated; probably not, as the general consensus is that 1.0.19 is definitely faster. If there's interest, we can definitely add some Current Patch categories!

It is linked at the top of the page for the game, right below the title!

It has to be permanently hosted video, so a vod from a twitch stream won't work, but if you highlight a twitch vod, that's totally ok!

Wrench heal slides -- swinging at a wall and holding heal -- is slightly faster than walking if you have a distance long enough (around two wrench cranks sfx in length, if that makes sense).

Glad to hear you're interested in speedrunning! I am working on an any% guide and I swear it's coming soon haha

Right now, BestGirl/Save Myla doesn't have a formal leaderboard on SRC, but it -- alongside countless other category extensions either not popular enough for SRC, better suited to be challenge runs, or both-- have unofficial leaderboards maintained on the HK speedrunning discord (linked in the sidebar). The pins of #misc has you covered!
