As due to a rule and asking by a mod. I am posting this. I am wanting to add No Overdrive% as a thing on the boards.
I have started to route this and get ideas and such flowing.
I would say this would be a good edition due to challenge runs be healthy imo. I want to know who agrees this is either a good idea or a whatever idea and should be added and such. Or if you don't care. or if you think it just shouldn't be a thing.

If there is interest and or people saying it's probably a good idea or that they don't mind it probably could be added. I would even go as far as to saying I have thought of the rules already etc. at least for the ps2 route. which is what I'm routing for.

This would challenge people to get around certain things. IE:Issaru,Gui.(just to name two) that typically rely on Overdrives from different people. This would be fun IMO. so yeah. let's see if you people care or not.

my rules that I thought of are this(Stole most of this obviously)

• Al Bhed compilation sphere must not be used
• When submitting a run, please only fill the 'Time Without Loads' field with your time.

• Must be ran on a PS2 Console
• Turbo is banned
• Everyone's overdrive is banned, except for the compulsory tutorials. (Auron's, And Rikku's)
• Start timer upon hitting New Game
• End timer when camera shifts to Yu Yevon death animation

Is this already routed?

I got a lot of it routed yeah. Not fully

just out of curiosity, why ps2 only?

Those are just placeholder rules, it'll change where the leaderboard will be hosted (if it happens)

The only bit that would carry over to all leaderboards would be:
• Everyone's overdrive is banned, except for the compulsory tutorials. (Auron's, And Rikku's)

To be honest, this one is still an idea(as it's not yet routed) but if there's interest then we'll see if we can make a consideration.

I also just happen to be routing on ps2 as I can't do pc runs lately. and theres only 3-4 battles to route for left. The rest becomes really simple. (No Mix% route basically). Theres just Gui, Spherimoph, crawler and issaru left to route for basically. the rest is already set in stone basically. and those won't take me long.

Bear in mind that categories are only made for when several runners run a category, if it's just you it won't be made.

It should be noted that NO Overdrive is only fight away from being routed. (Gui) I'm trying to find the actual best way to do it.

Get it done, challenge runs are healthy you are right. I'd be down to watch the run happen and see the route.

the only thing not done is gui. the rest is 100% done and pretty safe. it's basically a lot of no mix% in general.
