I have never tried any prototypes but I have played updated version with translations of the game, especially the Swedish one. I have also tried the Japanese version but that is a whole other story 😂

All known glitches are allowed in Any% so I don't see why it should be restricted.

In 2-character% the glitch is mandatory.

I understand the reasoning with merging the two categories but don't mind having a sepperate category. It really is a cool and interesting glitch! At this moment I believe it is a bit too early to tell how any% will develop.

Have anyone proven that there is reduced lag in 2-character%? I kind of just assume it is, but very often I find the game very laggy even with the glitch.

-edit- I read an old conversation I had with NeSs7or9 where we talked about a "no 2-character glitch". I believe that would be an alternative if we can prove that 2-character is the true any%.

Yeah that might be it. I have been goofing around and doing some testing so I might have gone in and out of the lab without thinking about it. After testing it I think you are correct!

-edit- Nope, I had it happen again without entering the lab. Haha! It might be entering the code that triggers the weird state.

What is it that makes the Red Tentacle ignore pool drainage? Sometimes I can turn the water on/off and the tentacle reacts the same (goes to check the dark room). But at other times he ignores everything, even turning the circuits off.

Personally I am against "flooding" the leaderboards with miscellaneous categories, especially if there is no more than one runner.

Concering how to define Glitchless I would prefer if the developer lab code (4x0) was banned. -edit- Actually, I believe "guessing" the code should be banned. A true glitchless run would in my opinion show how you got the code.

Sometimes I've seen you use the hunchomatic after opening the grate with another character. Does that has something to do with this glitch or why do you use the machine twice?

-edit- Haha nevermind I just realised it is for the garage door 😂

Very impressive!

I did a framecount to doublecheck, 6.59:667 (12590 frames).

I updated the category rules for hamsteak% to be a bit more strict! It now says;

Timer ends when "No thanks" appears after returning Weird Ed's hamster. The other 2 kids must have perished before returning the hamster. 2-character glitch is not allowed in hamsteak%. *"The three grave ending" is required.

The arguments that I can think of against allowing it is that the ending cutscenes are different and that you don't actually kill the characters but assume they die in the explosion.

SwedenNiss32 years ago

Simply put, would blowing the house up count as killing the other two characters after showing off the "secret hamster sequence"?

I think it makes sense, so I wouldn't mind allowing it. What do you guys think?

SwedenNiss33 years ago

Sounds like more of a hassle than sollution to me, but I don't see why it would be illegal.

I would compare it to resetting a run and then going to the toilet for 5 minutes. You have the reset and then 5 minutes of cutscenes and then the starting frame.

Then again, if I went to the toilet for 5 minutes I would reset the game again just to get a nice looking vod 😅

Nice run!

BUT! Your video is missing a very important of the run. The initial start where you fade into control. I checked your vod and saw it so I can verify this (7:57.817), but remember for future submissions that it is important to have the start of the game in your video, otherwise it can get rejected.

Incredible! GG Congratulations! One of the most impressive performances I've ever seen!

What is the purpose of the double load used in any% when the first boss during chapter 4 appears?

/edit

I just realised it might stop the power up buildings from spawning? When does the game save, or is it glitched somehow so the game never loads a real save? It's a very confusing trick haha

I added this to the main rules today;

Please cancel the introduction before Dave moves around since it can be concidered an unfair advantage. If the introduction movement is taken advantage of we might have to decline the run or add penalty time.

We've got a run submitted for hamsteak% utilizing the 2-character glitch. Should we allow it or not?

In a speedrunning sence, it's faster to use the glitch and still achieve the original ruling. But looking at it from another perspective it might be against the initial idea of the category because you're not killing the 3rd character.

I'd love to hear your thoughs on this since you've recently been active @ZeroJanitor @noisepolice @ShesChardcore
