[quote=KZFREW]what the hell is "Any%?" Any% is "beat the game, no cheating." Right? Well, why not just call it "Beat the Game" so that way people new to speedrunning don't come into streams going "WTF is any%?"[/quote] What is Any%? It's beating any percentage of the game that allows you to complete the game as fast as possible. This is concise, coherent, and makes sense. What is Classic%? Is there something "classic" in the game that's being completed? No, it's actually just Any% (No Mission Skips, No Taxis, Ending C, No Special Abilities, 33% Density, No Autosaves, No DLC, Only Old GTA Cars, No Uneeded Character Swapping, No First Person). Jargon is fine, but it should also be coherent. If I'm familiar with typical speedrunning terms and I see someone running GTAV Classic% I'm going to start wondering what the fuck that is. Though if they were running GTAV Any% (Classic Ruleset) I would obviously understand that they're running Any% with a few limitations. Obviously I wouldn't know what these limitations were, but the idea is actually coherent and someone can actually understand what the category is far better than Classic%. This trend of adding a % sign to the end of a category name when it doesn't really need one is awful. Trevor% (Classic Ruleset) could mean Any% (Trevor), except in this case it's actually The Jewel Store Job RTA (Classic Ruleset), but how is someone supposed to know this? Sure they can ask or look at the rules for the leaderboard, but if the category was named better they wouldn't have to. Obviously this isn't a main category, but that's no excuse for naming your categories poorly. Yes there is always going to be people that question things even if they make perfect sense, that's not the point, the point is to have clear, coherent category names and Classic% is neither of those.
