Here are the changes that I think are necessary.
-
Rules should be as follows: (X corresponds the world number) 'Complete all levels in World X. Timing starts when you press the start button, and ends when the boss shatters. Skipping and returning to the menu is not allowed.'
-
All current IR speedruns should be put into a Legacy 'category group'. 10 new categories should be added, which corresponds to each world. (that is from World 1 to 10)
-
Full Game Run should be changed to Any% with the rules as follows. 'Complete all worlds in the Campaign mode. Timing starts when you press the start button of the first level of World 1, and ends when the boss of World 10 shatters. Returning to the menu is not allowed. You may only skip one level per world. You may not skip boss levels.'
I believe that Flat Heroes is an insanely fun game to speedrun, so I believe these new rules can help people better time speedruns of this game.
Is it better to put all current runs into a Legacy category? Because the game has changed quite a lot since the version you are referring to, including rearranging all the levels.
Without subsplits https://mega.nz/#!9thVTYqa!YqsytwcAPRpb69ll1TubtXYTr3LmpuEiSMMmKFpcJHw
With subsplits https://mega.nz/#!084xSQQT!xoBSJjmfqHX3AUFNeTuTZJn_AjmYMh0YHYtVmDSVA40
Subsplits are grouped by location, with Till It's Over separated from Tower.
Splits include I'm Being Reelistic (the boat), Chip Zeal (vs Flower before Lycanthropy), and the Helicopter section. (labelled 'emm factory' cause I don't know how to name this song)
Have fun with the splits!
IMO Leasthits% is very good as the biggest problem of Any% now is that it allows the player to get away from hits. But Blindfolded% may not be viable because 1) people may not have a facecam 2) It is too hard to judge whether he is really blindfolded or not.
