First run with zips. Very bad. Had several big fails and deaths, even in places I never normally have trouble. Neat that AC is under 4 hours now, but probably not hard to get this 10+ minutes faster at least.
In the future I think I'll be more interested in running this category glitchless. This run is incredibly different than when we only had IGG and RTR skip. It isn't as fun now imo since we skip over almost all of what makes the later cycles interesting.
It's definitely still cool to see how low the time can go, though. I guess this category can now be viewed as a big zip consistency test. Maybe someone will eventually get the perfect run where they nail every trick first try. Then we'll really see how low it can go.
We are now accepting emulator runs for all categories. These runs will be split into their own "Emulator" subcategory to preserve competitive integrity, as emulators run the game faster than consoles can.
Please see the "Game Rules" tab for all the relevant emulator-specific things to be aware of.
