When is Vanilla coming to Extension Categories?
1 year ago

Animation-cancelling is a huge thing, it can produce huge time differences,so, I'm expecting moderators will also add Vanilla to the Extension Categories. Is there any planning on it yet?

There is no plan to add a vanilla category and unlikely to be added unless there is huge demand or if additional things are added to differentiate vanilla and glitchless.

AC of course is faster, but we don't want additional categories that aren't run. The main leaderboard has that issue and it'd be hard to change at this point.

What if the player is on Android/Console they shouldn't have such a large disadvantage,..umm right?

1 - people will generally always play on the fastest version of a game. They may start with a less ideal method but for most people, switch if they want to "compete" 2 - extensions was planned to be better laid out and give reasonable variables/categories that can't really be done on the main leaderboard 3 - while pc does have the advantage of ac there are few runs that would really make that big of a difference having vanilla.

There are 11 categories that could have vanilla 7/11 categories have nearly zero runners and are very unlikely to have any amount of "competition" or running popularity to warrant a "vanilla". - Perfection, seeded perfection, 4 candles, seeded 4 candles, junimo 120, skull caverns, secret statues

4/11 AC would make a difference and are ran by a few people, but the number of "competitive" runners not using AC is very low. So the very small time difference and same route, there's very little need to "need" another category.
