Add new categories?

Why do not create new category of run like "Any% Glitchless"?

I saw Mhmd_FVC and M00nchile streaming "Old strat run" and it gave me the idea... we could see again Cone crazy, SSA, Cherry Popper, Kaufman cabs, and we would pray again RNGesus :p

It's just an idea ^^

If there are people actually seriously running it, a new category can be added sure. Any% Glitchless runs would have to be actually glitchless though, I'm sure the runs mhmd and moon did were not glitchless. And Old strat run is obviously too arbitrary.

Does anyone even want to do runs with cone crazy in it anymore besides the "old-strat" nostalgia?

Old strat run also has the downside that route improvements cannot be found, since then it wouldnt be old strat anymore.

What I did could be called no remote pickup / no remote buy / no free assets. But I did the runs for nostalgia's sake only, not as a serious run, so as far as I'm concerned no need for a category.

"7 assets" was a category we came up with, that requires the player to do 7 different assets before cap the collector as opposed to one Vercetti, one Boatyard and five Printworks. This allows people to do any of the other glitches (t-shirt, CC skip, jury fury duping, warps), but doesn't actually skip the BY, SSA, CP, PP and KC missions. (Or any of the other missions for that matter)¤

If people show interest in running either category (by doing runs of them, not by a simple yes/no poll) then adding new categories is considered, the same way it has happened for mission%.

¤Note: Jury Fury is not skipped, as the mission is still done. Just in unusual ways. ¤Note: You can 'skip' two of these five asset missions by doing Malibu or Film instead, but this is slower and you're still not skipping missions. So this fact is irrelevant. ¤Note: Cone Crazy has never been a hard requirement for any%, therefore by not doing it, you're not actually skipping it.

Just as a reminder, in case you really want a glitchless run. There are 3 glitches in the muscle memory of every runner: Infinite sprint, keep the door open when entering car and reload by switching weapons. Have fun to get it out of your muscle memory.

The Fastest Boat in glitchless though Kreygasm

We could do a race of that sometime lirikAppa

Estimate: 15h of resetting. :D Well, 1) bind sprint to a different button and put an object on it, 2) bind "get in" to somthing you can't reach without moving your left hand; moving your left hand back into position and accelerating isn't in "muscle memory". 3) unbind switching weapons from the mouse wheel. Switching using q/e isn't in muscle memory. Participants have to run SKeys to prove they aren't using these tricks. :D

IMO old strat should be a mandatory run every new runner does, just so people can know how excruciating it was/is.

"7 assets" or as was suggested back when the Printworks 2 duping became a thing "no dupe" would be most sensible. "No dupe" means we can skip Cone Crazy still (can't imagine anyone would seriously run a category where that was required still) and still allows for the clothing glitch on Cherry Poppers (which no-one really used before the route changed massively.

Plus you still get to do SSA, and who doesn't want to do SSA.
