I was just wondering if there could be a 117% category with no proxy, swimming through air, or any other ways people could take advantage of the game (non solid surfaces). I think it would stay true to the spirit of the game and be more of a challenge.
You can always do 117% without glitches. It'd just take a much longer time. Doesn't have to be added a new category for it. The rules doesn't specify that you absolutely have to use glitches.
Haha! I just suggested it because I saw other games have that category. Thank you for the replies. I didn't know it was a big deal to go glitchless. :)
A lot of games do have glitchless categories, and when I was starting out with this game, I wanted this to be one of them, but after spending some time on the game, I can see why this would be one of those games where a glitchless category just doesn't work. It's just too broken of a game overall, there are so many glitches, where would you even draw the line? It would be impossible for the whole community to come to an agreement on which things are actually glitches and which are just difficult tricks, and which things would invalidate a run as glitchless.
I did an essentially glitchless 100 Egg run, but even without trying for glitches there were a few times I was accidentally launched a bit in some direction because of a glitch, none of them were intentional and they didn't give me any advantage, but they're still glitches, so would you have a run be considered invalid because of them?
I am still kind of curious how fast the top runners would be able to do games like these without glitch abuse, but it's just one of those things that will probably never be answered.
It's all arbitrary because a lot of this is standard movement to some people. It is not worth talking about. "Gltichless" in spyro will never happen. You can ban a specific movement tech like No DJ in spyro 2, but other than that it's like splitting hairs.
