A = X B = Square Inventory = R1 Map = L1 Select = hard reset for bgb
pretty comfy imo
Any% No Sqwwoob (sqwwoobie doobie doo): Main, #1 position Any%: Main, #2 position 100%: Main, #3 position Any% No woob: Misc All Instruments: Misc Legacy: Misc ACE (is this even a thing since it's emu only???): Misc if so
Likely unpopular idea - make a category literally titled "Misc. Runs" for w/e runs that it's doubtful more than one or two people are going to run but runners would like posted here for posterity.
Agreed 100% w/ Zorlax
Non
I'd also be willing to open up a dialogue about 100% definition (re:trade sequence break) since I think one thing that kind of goes overlooked (or just unknown - especially with a lot of the newer people) is that a lot of this game's 'community' spent its formative years with only one or two people forming categories and rulesets. Although yes, it's always good to take history and precedent into account when trying to maintain standards for category definitions and rulesets, we don't have to be total slaves to it all the time. Especially in this scenario when one of the two people who formed 100% (Cransoon & Giuocob) as we know it is wishing to make the rulesets more consistent.
Just food for thought from an old boi.
I wouldn't make too many appeals to the wording of the ZSR category explanation for precedent. I'm pretty sure I wrote that one day because the previously explained requirements (not the rules for 100% mind you but rather how we ¤define¤ 100% for LADX) for the category weren't worded very effectively. When that was written there was absolutely no thought put into the possibility of item duplicating or even the majority of the tech found in the last ~18 months.
I'm not really sure how much I can get into the "speedruns are about going fast" argument for 100% when 100% as a category only exists as a reactionary addition to the main category (warpless, any% No S+Q, then Any% NOSQWOOB respectively) - that is that the main category was cutting out of a lot of the content normally seen in the game and that runners missed or wished to see in the run. Honestly I'm of more of a mind to agree that trade sequence breaking and kamelot castle skip shouldn't be allowed but I don't think that would be a very tenable position, but I think 100% inherently is much more of a 'showcase' category than 'beat in the fastest time by any means necessary' just by the fact that the term "100%" is meaningless within LADX until our arbitrary rulesets have been applied to it (remember when 100% used to mean all-chests?).
And as much as in this specific occurrence it's not really skipping anything interesting or fun, I agree it does diminish that spirit and sets a precedent I'm not sure I jive with for 100%. I'd be more interested in an OOT-type definition (forgive me if I have the wrong game here) of "as long as the items are acquired legitimately" (e.g - justifying intra-dungeon tech like peahat boosting or super jumping but not sweeping sequence breaks, duping, or memory overflow for tunic). I'm not overly concerned with the accusations of the ruleset for this category being arbitrary when the definition and intention of it is arbitrary to begin with (we want to see the content we skip in faster categories but not the content we feel is insignificant or tedious).
Agree w/ all the above dudes for same reasons
I am so down for bingo races
