Hi everyone!

@Waifu mentioned the possibility of a "no-intro category" on the SRT thread and I feel like this is something that could be discussed on a different thread, since it's a subject that more people might be interested.

The way I see it, the initial 5-6 minute intro (inside Ethan's House and then walking through the snow) is pretty much a on rails section, and I don't feel like it would add that much to the competitive leaderboards, unless at some point a skip is found for this.

Waifu mentions on the other thread about making a save on the moment you get the knife. On the other hand, I feel like this could be made on the moment that Ethan gets down a slope (right before finding the dead horse), since from that moment on, you can explore the houses and such.

Anyway, the reason I'm creating this is to get a feeling about what the community thinks about this. I watched a bit of Super Mario Sunshine speedruns for some time, and I know that they created a save file that starts some minutes into the game because you have to go through a quickly playable section and then a long cutscene.

In RE8 case, there's no cutscene, it's all gameplay, but as I've mentioned, is pretty much a "hold W" gameplay with not that much to do.

I'd love to hear other opinions on this!
