Why there are no 60fps & 120fps subcategories?

I'm asking this question because I saw some speedruns by turothking but they aren't here.

back in 2013, runners noticed that if they raised the game's fps, cutscenes would skip faster. An upper limit of 120 fps was set as that was the highest framerate where harry's movement speed stayed consistent with the game's native framerate of 60. At the time, the only real differences between running the game at 120fps instead of 60 was the faster cutscene skip speed and some wonky NPC movement. As more tricks were found over the years, it was noted that most glitches in the game behaved differently between different framerates, most notably rictusempra skip which is so incredibly difficult to pull of at 60 fps that only 2 people have ever done it, and neither have a recording. Back in december, the community started a discussion to change the official any% category to 60 fps. As 120 fps has over 5 years of history behind it, it has and will remain as a legacy category of sorts, anyone is welcome to submit to the category, although the "official" any% category will from now on always be 60fps. Glitchless, 100%, and All Wizard Cards, do to their much more limited history at the time of the change were completely converted to 60 fps, all 120 fps runs were completely removed from the categories.

also cutscene% is 60FPS cause that is a good meme and Hundo history was basically Resp until loadless then I had it for years so yeah good meme

its confusing that there is a category that has a faster time but is not just called any% hence having the same goals but whatever I never did run the game so probably no one will listen to this anyways

you could imagine it as a cheat% or new game + or something like that. It runs on what is effectively a modified version of the game
