Grenade for Croc is more than fair, IMO. That makes it strictly about the combat, and doesn't restrict movement whatsoever. I'm sure some people would like to shave those 3 to 5 seconds off of the Croc with the gun, but it's no biggie; hardly a detriment to the game/category.

More importantly, I appreciate taking what we said into consideration.

It's just an animation exploit, which is not uncommon in other "Knife Only/Low%" categories in games. The restrictions are there for combat purposes, to limit movement options when the goal is to beat the game as fast as possible WITH said combat restrictions would be counter-productive to the game and its community. To restrict the ability to stair skate on these Low% runs is asinine when any% runs would have the most mobility due to an arbitrary rule; also it completely disregards controller/console players.
