pls add this category :(

Hi!!!!!!! Can you please write me a rules list for this category? Also define "OoB". I will look into it and consider the category as it sounds like a fantastic idea. Thanks!

I think it would be no major glitches rules. Defining glitch is not gonna happen I think

so technically hes speaking about inbounds no major glitches https://www.speedrun.com/portal_2_category_extensions#No_Major_Glitches

I think you need to be very careful when it comes to that. Unless you have a good way of defining glitch then you should not use it for a category imo. This is a huge problem that portal 1 also had, and no major glitches is really the only good way of doing it. If you can define glitch in a good way then go ahead. Or would you just remove all the currently allowed "glitches" from that category?

We already have No Major Glitches on Category Extensions, and not that many people play it in the first place, with only 8 (11 counting Obsolete Runs) submissions. Adding another niche category that functionally works similar to another in most instances is kind'a pointless.

Agreed that you want to watch out with glitches;

In Paper Mario TTYD, everyone who has ever played it glitched the game, since moving diagonally doubles your speed (X + Z) which isn't intended of course.

Would definitely recommend doing a run yourself, figuring out the run yourself first before coming in here.

But i think it will be a very good category. Because i don't want to use OOB and glitchs for the speedrun :/

You don't have to use glitches if you don't want too ;). No one is requiring you to glitch your way through a speedrun. It just means that your time won't be as low as the rest, but don't let that stop you doing from what you find fun.

The goal in the end is to play the game how you want to play it, at least without any ingame/external cheats. While the rules say you can use specific glitches, you aren't necessarily required of doing so, nor are you required to be the very top of the leaderboard. If you wish to, you can submit Glitchless Inbounds runs to the main Leaderboards.

However, the concept of a Glitchless (No OOB) Category would need to define what counts as a Bunnyhop (And other minor glitches/exploits). What would define as a BHop? Going above a specific speed? Jumping twice frame perfectly while moving? Jumping after building up speed as a whole?

one question, how should glitchless oob even work

You don't necessarily need to use unintended techniques to get to unintended places in Portal 2. Think of intro6, or whatever the room is called where you catch Wheatley fromt he railing.
