Blame it on another player not catching it until now.

Upon reviewing your run of 5:20 last night, some things about the run became very peculiar to me. The AI wasn't behaving as they normally would, and based on your settings shown at the end, it became apparent why: there was a setting changed regarding how the AI behaves, in this case the ability to turn off their auto combos. That is considered static RNG manipulation because it creates an entirely different situation for the player as opposed to having it remain on.

The moderator for the board wasn't aware of the rule until I pointed it out to him. Upon revealing this informtion, there were no requests made. I merely suggested that either the rules need to be changed to maintain the integrity of the run, or that the rules can remain the same and I would push for a new PB with these rules intact. It was determined that the integrity of the category would be maintained, and the former was decided.

If you want to submit a different run under the new rules to maintain a PB, that would be allowed, but the rules now are firm. Configuration settings are to remain at default outside of Difficulty. I'm sorry if this inconveniences you, but your 5:20 submission is not a valid run.

Hey Kromer.

I do owe you an apology for randomly pulling your run after 6 months. We should have discussed it here first. I'm sorry.

That being said, I never meant to allow the CPU combos to be turned off. That rule was an oversight. The MKT leaderboards have basically been in "beta" since their creation. And these boards are so barren, I honestly haven't paid them much mind over the last year. I knew rules would change when runners started to break this game down. It's already been split into "Bosses" and "No Bosses" categories. I'm not a fan of splitting up the leaderboard any further, but if that's the community decision, I'll do it.

I hadn't considered that one. Now that I've watched it, I'll allow that, but for entirely different reasons: there are no settings showing in that video.

I'm really sorry for this, Kromer, but I hope you reconsider at least submitting your 5:47 PB for the Bosses category on PC. It's a great run.
