4:06:34!
In game timer says that its 5 hours 34 minutes, but correct me if I'm wrong. Also, please let me know if this isn't the world record as I can't find any other runs of this aside from co op.
This looks like it the Anniversary Edition and there for should be filed under the AE category.
This wouldn't get it's own category in Any% AE? Like the different Zelda's have like no warps and a category for that.
My take on it is this: By duping their stats they're not having to figure out a leveling route, so they're SKIPPING CONTENT and since it's a skip it would be a different category than a non stat dupe route or a NON SKIP ROUTE.
If someone were to find ways to walk through walls or to teleport out of bounds (there are some places you can) then they would be in the same category as a stat dupe run.
To clarify more by what I mean is a skip is that for their skill trees to represent their experience points on a ratio. For example, to be level 8 and have X amount of stat points it could be represented by XPneededfor8:X. For a lot of their runs, their leveling builds would require them to be upwards of level 30: http://www.titancalc.com/TitanCalc.asp?mastery=Haruspex&master1=7&master2=9&sa=0&m1=32-0-0-6-12-12-0-0-0-0-0-8-12-0-8-0-6-0-6-12-0&m2=1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
To separate these two categories I think is necessary, planning and routing went into both runs, and there was an overwhelming amount of decision making needed for each run. I think it's also unfair to compare these two categories and lump them all into one section, as it eliminates the possibilities of many other possible runs in the future if all that will be considered is stat duping as a category. I personally just don't speed run games to find the skips or glitches, I like to run them in categories that ignore these glitches or skips as it's what the developers or programmers intended of the game.
Before I started optimizing my routes (which I worked for years on) I asked to make sure that no stat duping was a category which I thought was clarified in another thread.
There is a category for different editions of the game since they either add stuff to they chnage/fix issues. That's why it should be considered as Any% AE
I mean, with the lag glitch patched out of the current patch you could make the case for this being an any% current patch WR, but I don't know if the mods want to go that route.
I added a new "Skill point glitch"-Filter to the Any% (AE) Category.
For now, it's only for this category, if someone wants to submit a run without the skillpoint glitch to another category, i can add the filters also for the other categories.
