United Statesomg im not anti glitch lol, i think its great to have separate categories. the problem was that the rules literally said "no glitches", he ignored that and verified his run which showed he never even read the rules
nah, blocking canceling attacks is definitely intended. if it werent combat would be so slow, you wouldnt be able to block in the middle of one of your attacks which would make every fight a waiting game
im not anti glitch, i just think you need to pay more attention to whats going on around you especially when it comes to breaking rules and then changing them while verifying your own runs. telling me "you havent submitted* a run in a year" or "If you dont like glitches then i dont think speedrunning is for you" isnt helpful. im not trying to "hate on you", im trying to help you figure out how to run things in a better way constructively.
verifying your own run while it broke the game rules is the problem
burg.l was the most popular category by far, and its very normal to keep legacy runs like that around if people like them, i dont really see why it needs to go away even if its "obsolete". id really recommend adding it back. telling people that dont like the wipe "you dont really care about the game and you just care about a time you put on the leaderboard a year a go" isnt productive at all either, it just shows that you are just doing random things that you want to do without listening to anybody else. the goal is to be as inclusive as possible to make submitting welcoming, telling people things like this does the opposite of that. also you didnt respond to part of my post earlier that said you were "verifying (your) own runs that break the game rules as they are currently written". what was up with that?
archiving the runs somewhere else on the board would have been a much better approach, but yeah this response isnt cool. i do agree with knightyy in a way though, zero has just kinda been doing whatever he wants ever since being modded, which is very bad for the board and community overall (ignoring requests like my own, verifying his own runs that break the game rules as they are currently written).
i am only interested in running on Woah! mode, and im not going to submit just to be compared to some easy mode runs. if you want people to submit and compete how about being cooperative* with them and fulfilling simple requests?
having different difficulties listed for the broodmother and wolf spider categories would be great
