I also do run no knives and im currently 1 hour 36 seconds - i mean, i could submit to the claire b standard regardless, just so i can atleast have it up there, why not :)

but i did what you mentioned and posted my support for the no knife run category on the extension forums, so thank you.

There are afew floating around for extra categories ideas, but i'll just throw it onto the table that im also in favour of the no knife run category.

Heres my current run without the knife; Time: 1 hour 36 secons (and i know i can save another good minute atleast) - so a no knife run is clearly viable as it breaks the 1 hour mark.

im still way of being good, but im learning and im very much enjoying playing this game without using the knife at all, not even as a defence item.

i just want to apologise for my profanity and the clear agitation in the video, i just wanted to play alittle before bed, i had a major headache most of the afternoon, so, again i apologise, sorry.

I'm currently speedrunning this game and my fastest time is 1hour 36 seconds on Claire B 60fps - however - i'm refusing to use the knife, mostly as i consider it a broken weapon and just, shouldn't be used - also its just personal preference i guess - but still.

My major questions are this:

Is it possible for me to have a "No Knife" category? Thoughts: The reason why im asking this is, without the knife its pretty much impossible for me to ever beat the WR for the current category, as in, using the knife on 60fps claire B standard.

If i do submit a run, knowing full well its not using the knife, should i still submit it to the 60fps claire b standard category? or do i need to submit to a different location? - the only difference between my run and the current WR time for claire b standard is that the person who has it, used a knife for the bosses, im not. Thoughts: I obviously feel this isn't fair for me to put against those who do use the knife, but yes, im fully aware that the majority of runners use the knife and it would be fairly weird for me to be a loner in my own category, but i still need to ask and get it clarified.

The whole reason why i would personally love a no knife category is, to encourage people to play against those who also refuse to use the knife in the game, feeling that its taking away from the experience of collecting weaponry and its ammo, progression, and difficulty of the content etc.

I mean, i doubt enough people care for there to be a no knife category, but i do, and thats merit enough for me to ask.

Hope you all have a lovely time playing the game ^_^
