Why is ending 1 banned? It seems like a faster ending 2 and 3, which is just more reason to allow it. And nevertheless whether you beat the game with any ending, you beat it. The ruling seems very arbitrary to me. What could be done is have subcategories for any% with all three ending. Like this: http://www.speedrun.com/One_Way_Heroics (OWH+ and OWH)

It is arbitrary, when I started to learn this game the rule was already like this, I just did a run within the rules to post on the leaderboards but I have a real Any% run (ending 1) on my youtube channel.

I will most likely learn this game under ending 1 and just choose to not submit.

"If I ignore this nothing will happen"

Runer-ish here. Xeno was the first person to run this game and so chose this rule, why exactly i couldnt tell. Maybe since the 2nd and 3rd ending are "harder" (not really anymore since we can still keep the object needed towards these endings with a skip) to get than the 1st which his just completing the game. Maybe an ending one category should be added or the ending 2 and 3 should be an entire new category while ending one become the any%
