Portland, OR, USAyou aren't getting more people to run any%, you're getting more people to run NG+ no fast nights and calling that any%
RTA is an awful way to signify that the goal isn't to beat the game. It means Real Time Attack, something which also applies to the categories that do beat the game. Why isn't RTA after literally all of the categories?
Making NG+ the main category would make sense, but you can't allow some usages of NG+ in any%.
By banning the cheats you aren't making it hard. By allowing them, you're making it easy. If the runner doesn't want to have to reset to deaths, they can run NG+. The whole point of NG+ is to allow cheats. If you allow them in any%, you're just making any% into NG+ but fast nights is banned.
Actually it does change things in the time. It makes it so you don't die, and dying loses time. If the run isn't hard then what's the point? You can't just allow stuff because it makes the game easier than it's supposed to be, that makes no sense at all.
I see absolutely no reason to ban turning off health regen UNLESS the run involves dying.
like everyone uses these (other than the freezeflame one, everyone uses an even faster strat there)
Super Mario All-Stars has that + lost levels
You'll lose the same amount of time regardless of when you change them.
running shoes are awful, use books of wind
Those categories should probably have a rule stipulating that they have to have been fought in the same world.
I don't recommend it as mario 1p
DD2 skip is obviously the triple jump to the star?
If you time from the first world created and all worlds follow the rules (survival, no bonus chest, no cheats) then it's a legal glitch.
carrying data over from a world made before the run or from a world which doesn't follow all the rules of the category (i.e.uses cheats) is illegal. not sure if it's specifically stated anywhere.
