I am planning to run unrestricted story mode category, and I wanted to clarify some things before I get into actually running the game.

First, for some of the few early stages, like "Go to your inventory and equip a deployable, a perk from any perk deck and also spend five skill points." Do we skip this completely?

Also, the rules says we can skip get the coke if we are already level 10. Does that mean we can also completely ignore the stage given that we start at level 100?

Thank you so much.

Hello runners, today I was grinding for Volcano since my run is pretty choppy imo. I found something interesting in this map and I wanted to share it with you guys.

I got the idea of jumping at the ramp at spawn to gain more initial velocity from @TheProma 's run. You can boot the game up and test it yourself, it would give you somewhere around 900~1000 of velocity. However, I accidently discovered that the first platform of volcano is placed in a way that it would work in a weird way when using that ramping trick.

So, if you have played this game for a while, you might have encountered this glitch: You can see that I'm gaining a significant amount of speed even if I was jumping on flat surface. This occurs in only particular maps: cobble, river, heaven and etc. We still do not know why this glitch happens and it's completely random if this glitch will happen or not.

I don't consider these run to be in the glitched category as they cannot be controlled by the player himself/herself. The game randomly decides to give you certain amount of speed and the player cannot do anything about it. All glitches in glitch category is controllable.

So, back to the point. If you ramp from the spawn point with around a thousand velocity, and then immediately jump on the first platform(I recommend not crouching all the time), you would get somewhere around 1300 to a whopping 6000 velocity. This velocity seems random or frame-dependent. You would fail if you fail to ramp at all and jump with 650 velocity or if you bumped into the wall in any ways.

Try again and again and you will somehow get 5000~ velocity and ez wr. This map is broken as hell.

So far this leaderboard does not prohibit using glitches such as prespeed, rampboosting, etc. When I first became mod I saw this and I decided to leave it this way because I didn't want to ban like 30 runs because of old patched glitches.

Now that I think, it is not fair to make records w/glitches to compete with legitimate records. So, I am deciding to divide glitchless runs and glitched runs.

This leaderboard isn't active that much, but feel free to share your opinion if you don't agree with this decision. Thank you.

For the main game, there are three endings as far as I know. The loop ending, The artist (self portrait) ending, The family ending. Or good and bad ending, or selfish and non-selfish ending. Depends on the person saying it, but there are three anyways.

The most used route in Any% is the normal(loop) ending, and various tricks around the normal ending has been researched/found. However, the alternative endings aren't being used because simply they are "slower" than the normal route.

Those alternative endings are as good as the normal one, and I would like to see how people will find tricks and routes to activate the alt endings. Also, it would help players experience other parts of the game better.

So my suggestion is to: Make a separate category for alt endings (Any%, Artist%, Family%)

What are your opinions?
