question about downpatching

United States

where is downpatching allowed? is it any category or only categories where the wr is only beatable with an older version?

Down patching is allowed for every level run, multi-level runs are a bit more complex but the limits for those categories are just that you cant down patch to a version that does not have required levels for the run (For Ex: Currently fullgame categories can go to the day 1 patch of Violence but they cannot go to a version that existed without Violence.)

ok, thank you!

Also downpatching to use strats that aren't used even in a WR is frowned upon. Eg using the overpowered nukes that were patched last patch is well, maybe not forbidden by rules but we have a gentlemen's agreement to not use them.
