77 Spat Ruleset

I disagree, but okay.

First and foremost: You can already run whatever version of 77 that you want; You don't need a leaderboard to run a category.

It's 77 Spats because you need 75 to get into Lab Door without using scum-warping, and you get 2 more during the Boss fight. It's a name, not a requirement. It's more arbitrary to tell people they can use a trick, but not in one specific instance, which is what you're saying should be the case.

Afaik, there isn't another way of getting past the Lab Door, so allowing scum-warping in the case something else is discovered is really just asking for change based on a hypothetical.

  1. If people have a vested interest in doing this type of run, there will competition for it, and if not, it can still be fun. Meme categories aren't often contested; they're just to have fun.

  2. Getting the ball rolling for a category is the job of the runners, not the people who manage the board.

  3. Forcing people to compete under your rules isn't going to be fun for everyone. Rationale aside: Most people would prefer to run without scum-warping.

  4. The categories you see on the board already have runs, or are highly anticipated to have runs in the future.

  5. Category Extensions are only provided to popular games that have been out longer. Extensions aren't just given to any game. This category you're proposing would end up somewhere in the Misc. Tab at best.

And let me reiterate that you don't need a leaderboard to run something. If there isn't "fun competition" for something, it's because nobody wants to do it. Try running the category you're proposing and see if you actually like it or not. Just asking for more categories isn't going to get you anywhere.

allowing the wrong warp glitch in 77 spats would be like allowing BLJ in Mario 64 70 star.it would basically make the category arbitrary.and if you want a longer category with wrong warps you can just do 100%,although maybe having a wrong warp/no wrong warp split on 100% could be good depending on how the category evolves.77 spat is looking a lot better then what it was a few days ago and in about a year is going to be pretty good, just needs the slower and casual spats like the dutchman fight and the sand mountain slopes removed. tbh i would prefer the name Any% No Wrong Warp but it doesn't really matter.

also knowing this game there might be a spatula duplication glitch so im guessing there would be maybe even 3 any% type categories if that happened, any%,no wrong warp,and no wrong warp/spat dupe.
