So this glitch works in 31cc as well, but there's a way to skip missions where you:
100% complete a trial while using a dummy mech variant (a copy of an existing mech variant)
Go to combat simulator after completing the mission
Select the mech and mech variant you are using in your campaign
Delete the variant you are using
Go back to campaign and start the mission
What ends up happening is that it skips the mission and loads a previous victory instead. If there is no previous victory, the mission will fail and the mission won't be skipped.
Now for the amendment
We also found a method to skip underwater strike, but that doesn't require a mech to be deleted, so I propose that we allow the underwater strike glitch in the full bloodname% category since it is done using the speed glitch and the only way for it to work is to complete all of trial 3 beforehand. Since it does not use the mech deleting glitch, it should be allowed.
I'm mainly asking because I would like to keep the ability to fully run the game without using the mech deleting glitch to make runs more fun in the long run while at the same time, having a nice way to skip a mission that, quite frankly, everyone hates in the full bloodname% and have a separate category for the mech deleting glitch.
We shall await your verdict:
In the meantime, here's a run that demonstrates both the underwater strike skip and the mech deletion skip as well:
I would second what PROX wrote about being able to use the Divide by Zero glitch with Underwater strike. Here is another example of the use and some further commentary on my side.
Thanks!
So I'm definitely inclined to allow the skip for Underwater Strike. That mission is a terrible effective auto-scroller that has no real speed tech other than "be good". It's not an interesting part of the run, so skipping it is no real loss.
When it comes to "do we want an any% category that allows the delete glitch to skip a bunch of missions", that I'll leave up to you guys as the active runners of this game. I'm happy to add that as a category it'd be fun for you two to compete on.
Got the any% category up. Let me know if you think the wording on the rules should be adjusted (or similarly on the Bloodname%).
