I'm new here and this is probably somewhere I'm just not looking, but are these separate categories? As in any% allowing the dead soma glitch and then an any% not allowing it? I did like this trick until I started running it. I did reset after reset after reset. It's a cool category but it's not for me. Maybe when I get better i will run it but it is a bit discouraging to go for an any% when I know I'll get crushed by someone using the dead soma zip. I appreciate any information regarding this topic, and would also like to be pointed in the right direction to where I can discuss the trick in detail. Again noob when it comes to TASing but I know a bit on the topic of this trick, however I need a little more info on it. Best regards - Fancy

Soma Any% No 0HP is the "main category" that doesn't include it. Alternatively you can look at Soma Any% Glitchless as well depending on what you're looking for. 0HP was essentially branched off into a separate category for the reasons you mention. It's not practical to expect everyone to sit down & grind out that trick. (Soma Any% is the category that DOES include 0HP)

For reference there are 57 times under Soma Any% No 0HP & 5 under Soma Any%

Thanks strizer86 useful information, I basically stopped practicing aria after discovering the infamous 0hp glitch, but this changes everything. I'll do a run tomorrow and get back into the swing of things. Although I do wanna look more into the 0hp glitch. I know exactly how to execute except when to pause I basically spam and hope for the best. Thanks again
