It's not a glitch if it's allowed by the game without forcing, IMO. I used those kind of technics several times in my any% run.

Imo, you should show your run(s) and, based on what happens in it, we could discuss about adding a "glitch" category. But if the run exists, whatever the technics used, it should be displayed here.

Thanks for the tips, I gonna on work that!

We try to find back Berumondo's PB.

We found this archive that states his 17:15.260 on 2017 may 9

But I'm not sure that this is actually his PB, and I would like to find the video if possible, but that looks impossible as his youtube account is deleted now.

If somebody can find a trace of that ? maybe doubletaco in a stream of the time you were competing together ?

If the glitchs are differents in any way, that might require a different category. But the leaderboard is too small yet to overthink it imo.

One main difference is that you can't abuse the computer hacks by mashing all the directions in the same way that it's available on pc. Maybe a controller category in opposition to a keyboard category would do the trick. But once again, it's probably not worth taking care of this, given the size of the leaderboard.

As I'm not a moderator for this game, but I would recommend the same than for any other games: if you want to run, do it. When you are happy with the result, submit it. The categories will adapt to the result.

GLHF! Hope I'll be able to finish a run someday too ^^

Hello,

In my opinion, there is no trouble to create any category, as long as there is a run to demonstrate it :)

There as been some thoughts about a low% before, but we did find it really hard, really long and not that fun to play.

Feel free to finish a run and we'll be happy to add the category.

Apparemment, il y a un problème similaire sur switch. Je sais pas si les versions consoles ont toutes le même problème ou pas, mais personnellement, je n'ai pas constaté de changement particulier sur pc. Cela dit, Berumondo a peut etre mis le doigt sur le soucis.

No, that's it, the game doesn't show the seconds, so it lacks of precisions. And the livesplit autosplit has been quite lately in this speedrun history, rta has been use by default.
