Rework of Level Leaderboard rules/categories
3 years ago
Russia

Current rules/categories seem confusing or do not represent how the runs are timed.

Right now we have two categories: Any% and Any% Glitchless. The proposal is to drop Any% Glitchless category because:

  1. (Depending on the definition) there are no known glitches
  2. No definition of a Glitch for this game. Is Cove underwater door a glitch?

There is a confusion for new runners. For example, @GustavoPredador put this run https://www.speedrun.com/atle/run/yv601o8z to the glitchless category ( https://www.speedrun.com/atle/thread/7hbtv/1#1fw42 ) while everyone else (no other Glitchless runs at the moment) uses just Any%.

The current rules are:

  • Time starts when loading screen disappear.
  • Time ends when you complete level and your screen turns black.

This definition is vague (many questions in https://www.speedrun.com/atle/thread/7dt38 ).

The proposal is to change the rules to:

Any ideas?
