Hello!
I saw some people asking about 100% Glitchless (old threads) but I wanted to mention that I've created notes for this category back in 2020. They're based on Puwexil's/JP Strats. Since posting these notes the amount of runners have nearly doubled in just under 2 years.
100% Glitchless on PC has also become a thing. It has become competitive quickly! DS has been lumped with PC/Steam and have been given their own leaderboard.
I use to say that the PC version is 30mins faster; however, we're starting to see a 40-50min difference. The animations in battle are faster compare to SNES. Load times for zoning is quicker, a bit faster battlespeed (BS), and near instant text are a few of the reasons for this version being faster.
ATB works faster on PC/Steam (not sure on DS) In short use BS 4 for most of the run and use 6 when you see BS2/3 on SNES version notes. I will eventually post PC notes (again, not really different - but I have a hard time of settling for BS to give to new runners)
The NG+ content is not a part of the 100% Glitchless category. NG+ content being the bonus dungeons and the quest. I don't think NG+ category extensions should be a category at this time, but I did route out Dream Devourer as an marathon incentive. For me, it's more of a fun thing to do. All NG+ quest (quest added for DS/PC/Steam) never seemed interesting to me, and I also don't feel that it should be a leaderboard category at this time. I think if the amount of runners grow and after that point enough become interested in grinding said other categories it can be a thing. Not my call, but that is how I feel about it.
Additionally, I've been working on a central source for all CT information. This is by no means to replace the CT wiki http://chrono.wikidot.com/
I've added the CT Master Document under "guides"

I am a first time poster but long time lurker/viewer. I am interested in doing my first ever speedrun and was wanting to do Chrono trigger. A new game+ all quest glitchless Dream Devourer run. Does glitchless 100% allow new game +? If not, Is this a category that could be made? I don't see that as a separate new game+ category from glitchless 100%.
Glitchless 100% does not allow NewGame +. The rules of the speedrun it's based on starting from a fresh file.
It is something that could be made in the future if the people in the community do runs of it, it's not something that would be created out of nowhere for a couple of runs.
Quoting what the Chrono Cross team said recently, "Keep in mind that categories are generally determined by a lasting community interest", do your runs the way you want to and if it catches on and many people do runs then it will be added to the leaderboard.
We didn't have a glitchless 100% board for the longest time and now it's the most popular category.
If you're interested in running, joining the Chrono Speedruns discord servers might be helpful. https://discord.gg/5XAdJJzk
