Hello everyone, as you are no doubt aware we've been working regarding the current state of the Momo4 leaderboards, due to the new discoveries about the game thanks to the TAS and a number of players finding RTA viable glitches. After some deliberation we have hopefully come to a solution regarding the leaderboards at this time.

For the next 6 months the leaderboards will remain as they are, however we will be adding a variable for submitted runs. We've decided that we are going to work on two variables at the moment, which will be called "Legacy" and "Unrestricted".

Legacy is for any runs that use the current method of playing the game, as seen on the leaderboards. This is obstensively the "Classic" or "Glitchless" category (Edea Quick Kill aside), and will be set as the default variable since every run on the board to this point will fall under this category. Unrestricted will be for any routes that use new glitches, clips, or zips that have currently been or will be discovered in the future.

You may notice that we have not included a No Major Skips variable. The main reason for this is because we feel that more discussion regarding what exactly a route of that nature would entail is necessary. As such, until a consensus on what exactly that entails they will be considered "Glitched" or "Unrestricted" runs.

We felt that ultimately the main issue regarding the discussion around what to do was a lot of "what if" scenarios, so we have decided that a period of actual collection of data would be for the best in the long term health of the leaderboards. This gives people time to truely explore what new potential routes are available, and indeed will give us information on the staff side as to whether the new glitches are even being run or making a significant impact on the leaderboards. These variables will make it simple for us to split the categories if it is deemed necessary in the future, as well as give us an easy way to sort through the runs during the data collection period.

We hope to see where things progress from here and look forward to revisiting this in a few months. Thank you for your time; you're more than welcome to give feedback to us regarding this decision either in the discord server, or within the thread itself.

I've made a few polls in response to some of the discussion that has happened in the discord server for the leaderboards of this game, I'm going to post them all here for archiving purposes and for people to vote in them. Please take a look at the following polls and let your vote be heard <3
