I was watching Cycryl run this game and was wondering, had you ever thought of putting in a glitchless any% and 100%? I think it would be a cool way to add to the experience.
No point. There aren't too many glitches in the game overall. Competition is very limited as well. I don't see it become relevant any time soon or ever.
I agree with darq. The point is not that there are so few glitches, the point is that the glitches are only available on mobile.
Though I will be practicing on iOS/android, I am personally not interested in doing runs on the platform. It is not a convenient platform for doing or recording runs.
Realistically, shouldn't the glitch be banned? If it gives an advantage to ios/android users, and if the game isn't popular enough to create two categories, then shouldn't the sole category be one that doesn't put certain runners at a disadvantage? Shouldn't the sole category be one that is the most accommodating?
I would agree with you, Jumpy, if the glitch could be done in all versions, but it's only able to be done in one version--and it's the version that is the least capture-friendly.
That said, I am only going by what Cycryl has put forth about the game. I haven't tested the other versions myself, but Cycryl has stated that the glitch is only possible in the ios/android version.
also the fact of it being faster to do on nightmare mode isnt helpful to the situation because that means that you can complete the game in less time with the mode then any other
the full game should be seperated by the different difficulties
It's okay to not be able to use all of the fastest strats in any given version of the game. I've already allowed every platform/difficulty to be displayed AT ONCE (no filtering required). If I must split it BY PLATFORM (not just making glitchless) then so be it, that's reasonable. But I would first suggest to do whatever runs you'd like and have them submitted first before proposing any changes. You never know, you may actually like what I've got set up.
Separating the board by platform would be great.
It's not a matter of liking the way it's set up. It's a matter of being able to post competitive times on an even playing field. The glitch isn't simply a strategy. It's a clear advantage, and it's one that isn't available in certain versions. I wouldn't have any qualms if it was available in all versions but I wasn't skilled enough to execute it.
Other than the glitch discrepancy, I really appreciate the fact that you have included so many categories. I was considering running only the categories that are inherently glitchless (you can't use the glitch when getting all stars, for example), but a separation of the platforms would be perfect.
I'll get a run together, soon :D
@DarQ btw, it's only faster on nightmare because of the glitch. Nightmare mode gives the player only one heart, and the glitch involves losing hearts quickly, so having fewer hearts means the glitch can be executed faster. Separating the platforms would eliminate the advantage.
It's done. Thanks for the feedback.
Also, is the 3DS version the same as the mobile version or the same as the PC version? I'll keep 3DS separate until it's figured out.
Thanks :D
Yeah, I was going to mention that I plan on buying a 3ds, so I'll see about it then.
Looks good to me. If anything needs to be mentioned, then I probably won't figure it out until I get some times up. I'm working on my first playthrough, at the moment.
I have a question about world times. The wording of the rules sounds like segmented world runs are allowed. Am I reading it correctly? Does the game automatically add up all of the best times? (I haven't unlocked the IGT, so I don't know.)
Funny thing, the android version has checkpoints. That could mean that it is the same glitchless version as PC, but I haven't tried the glitch yet.
Okay, can you show us what these glitches are that you're talking about? The ones that make sub 40 possible?
