Between Mercenary and Mercenary Commander, I propose a Mercenary Commander Any% category for a fast glitched category, and a Mercenary category for a long 100%-esque category.
Mercenary Commander Any%
-
Mercenary Commander Mode
-
Run starts when hitting accept in Enter Callsign menu.
-
Run ends when end cutscene starts.
-
Aborting campaigns is legal.
-
Ctrl+Q mission skips are legal.
-
Page Faults are legal.
-
S-Gliding is legal.
Mercenary
-
Mercenary Mode
-
Run starts when hitting accept in Enter Callsign menu.
-
Run ends when end cutscene starts.
-
Page Faults are illegal.
-
S-Gliding is legal.
Also settings
- Difficulty : Easy
- Transitions : Off
Those timings are pretty standard throughout the series as it's the moment you gain control within the game and the moment you lose control at the end.
Would Mercenary be a true 100% or just a glitchless any%?
Mercenary would be a True 100%.
It's not glitchless because S-Gliding (MechWarrior 2 guide calls it PowerSlide) should be legal in this category.
Page faults or other exploits to skip missions should be illegal in this category.
Edit: If you trust me, you can give me mod privileges and I can setup the categories how I like and make future changes. I'm still exploring what can be done with this game.
