CynBro (the parachute skipless WR rn) and I have been going back and forth with a TON of strats that can cut down time ^u^ I'll be breaking his record again today so make sure to keep and eye out and our runs will help you a lot
My WR includes just inputting the code AND guessing one of the digits in the house for parachute ending, so the mods seems to agree that knowing and guessing codes are fair game ^u^
I assume this is like a standard across speedrunning that I'm not familiar with; if runs can be submitted to multiple categories
Quick Question,
to fill in categories can a skipless run be submitted to all 4 categories of a run (unrestricted, OOB, NMS, and Skipless) ?
they'll obviously be beaten but I wasn't sure if they'd need to be 4 different runs or if one run could be submitted to all 4 while the categories are still empty
How do we determine what exactly is a skip?
are we calling skips only what is in the "allowed strats" section of the Ultimate Guide~ or are things as little as alternate pathways or walking away from voice-lines that don't lock you in place?
for example when you are resetting the welcome song at the beginning of the game, you can simply walk away and the song will end and the door will be open, is that considered a skip or simply a natural consequence of walking from door to door?
or instead of going directly to the workshop you can go through the theater back door on the way since you have the permissions at that point and open up a gate for a possibly safer pathing of the workshop?
I think I heard someone say it's FPS dependent, but I don't know enough details to tell you exactly what the window is
