Glitched runs are now Any%

Hi, The Glitched category has now been changed to Any% I moved all the NG and NG+ Glitched runs together into one category. (including your obsolete runs)

Glitched categories are now named "Any% (PC)" "Any% (Console)"

The category will now be a true any% with the goal of running the game as fast as possible.

Also moved it out of Misc. tab hopefully allowing the category to get more attention.

Rules have been unchanged, pulled from the original NG+ Glitched Rule Set. I hope you all enjoy it and with this lets see how fast we can push this category to its limits! :)

Good decision. Always thought of term 'glitched' as a category name to be kind of redundant when we are talking about "Any%" which really is meant to utilize every available glitch/skip/exploit to beat the game as fast as possible. Keep it up.

Here is what I don't understand:

Why is the main category called "New Game Standard" or "New Game Hardcore"?

If you look at past Resident Evil games such as the first Resident Evil (1996) The main Speedrun is any% but there is a "No Major Glitches" and "Major Glitches" Categories.

Resident Evil 3 the main Speedrun doesn't utilize any glitches and it is considered any%

There is even an any% in the 1998 Resident Evil 2 and it doesn't utilize any glitches.

Ultimately couldn't RE2 Remake utilize any% No major glitches and any% major glitches? cause in reality you are being the game as fast as possible.

With all that being said maybe there is something that I don't fully know about the RE2 runs? This is just a question I have had since the Speedrun became active. If anyone could clear it up, that would be cool.
