Potential categories for IL table

@theenglishman Yeah, i guess i was just a little disapointed when i saw it hidden. -But still people saying that "it shouldn't be a thing" are wrong. Things are things as long as someone care about it and put time into it. And in speedrunning, as long as there is a runner a run should be able to exsite. The category might still being called FoxHound since foxhound is no kill no alert. Even in mission 43 you don't have any ranking at the end that change your FoxHound status from previous mission. And that the only one that force you to kill people. While i understand his Sonic Adventure 2 180 emblems being a miscellanous category, let's talk about mgs speedrun history. The saga always used the highest of the standard for runs, any% were pretty inexistant a part from 2 or 3 dude who ran in at some point. the community was huge behind FoxHound / BigBoss runs. That just why i wasn't think a FoxHound run to be a "miscellaneous" category.

Saudi Arabia

should also add Foxhound rank should be category. at least for IL runs, probably the hardest of them all.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Except that some of the any% S Rank strats (such as Mission 32) just happen to give you a FOXHOUND rank.

Finland

Does it count if I post the time with screenshots when I get to 100% no matter how long it might be? Technically not a speedrun, but it'd be a 100% for someone else to break :D

Saudi Arabia

some missions yes but not all give you Foxhound Ranks for simply being fast. Hence its own category Foxound.

Newfoundland, Canada

And some of the any% strats just happen to give you an S Rank. I do think that perfect stealth/no kills should be a category for ILs. I think that that's a more interesting distinction than the raiden/no raiden distinction.

Also, no traces is something that people probably want to do, but that's not something that can be done for every level. So, I don't know what the best way to acknowledge it is.

Just dropping by to say tha-- What you already know what i think about that idea ? Okay. But i second the two previous post. Add FoxHound, maybe No traces even if not that many people are intrested in it at the moment. and Hide Raiden category.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Strange - both Raiden/GF categories have the "Misc" option checked but are still showing up in the main table.

France

Maybe the template is showing 6 category max. and is feeling up the blank with misc if no other category are present.. Dunno
