FinlandIt's because there isn't enough difference between glitches and glitchless in Mega Man X. Even when you use all the glitches used in the run, you still play most of the game, easily 90%, as-is. The glitches save time, and are used by advanced players, but a good time in Mega Man X 100% can still be achieved without using any glitches. It's alright to start running by learning the base game and run first, and then slowly adding in time saves as you get deeper into the run.
But there's really no reason to add a whole new category just for runs that do a few sections differently.
https://megamanleaderboards.net/index.php was around first, and it was already established as the site for Mega Man RTA, so people didn't want to make the change. I'm not familiar with all the nitty gritty of it all, in all honesty, but in subsequent times, there's been behaviour expressed by srcom people that has lead to a negative attitude towards them from the Mega Man folks' side. For instance, asking for permission to add a board for Mega Man 2 on the site, not getting that permission, and proceeding to add the board anyway. Things like that.
The Mega Man RTA Leaderboards site is the main site for all Mega Man games, and the community generally wants it that way - albeit some also wish for the games to have representation here on this site because they want their srcom profiles to show all their times. Hence this MMX board on here.
I'm sure someone could give a more detailed answer about all the lore.
The standard any% category does not collect the hadouken, either. So, if you want to do runs without the hado, do any%. Also, why would 1hp prevent getting the hado, anyway? And again, when optimized in the standard MMX speedrun, the bosses don't have that many opportunities to deal damage, honestly. There's Penguin, he can. Kuwanger is pretty much a non-issue with the speedrun strat. Eagle is a non-issue. Chameleon is a non-issue. Mandrill is mostly a non-issue, as well as Mammoth. Octo would present a challenge. And to some extent Rangda, and I guess D-Rex. But you needing to be careful - and slower - on three boss fights just doesn't really warrant its own category, in my opinion.
If you like no damage challenges, and having low HP, pick up Mega Man X any%. As I said above, to do the stages and bosses fast, you basically try to avoid damage anyway just because of how the movement and strats work. So you could probably satisfy your urge to minimize damage just with the existing categories.
Honestly, the stipulation wouldn't add much of anything interesting to the run. Outside of just a handful of scenarios, it's always faster to avoid bonking enemies anyway, so to go fast optimally, you already see top level runs getting through the game taking very little, if any, unnecessary damage. Bonking an enemy is about a half a second time loss every time, so the stages are routed in such a way that allows us to get through them without hitting the enemies along the way.
So, when optimized, a 1hp run wouldn't really differ that much from just a standard Mega Man X speedrun.
The current world record holder voiced opinions and stated things that were deemed against community rules by the Mega Man X community moderators. As a result, he was banned from the community, and his name was removed from the leaderboards.
