Difference between Neutral and TP categories

What's the actual difference between the Neutral and True Pacifist categories in the speedrun?

United States

There are some points where being able to kill monsters makes the run faster, even in the current demo. This becomes much more apparent in a full game run however, so its mainly for completeness for whenever the map fully comes out.

I have watched both the Neutral and the TP “WR” and they both don't kill.

also, the “WR” for the Neutral category is significantly slower, even though Neutral could just copy the TP strats. That's why I came to think that the leaderboard isn't updated well.

United States

All of the current wrs are just the first or second runs done ever, and nobody has tried to beat them, despite them all being very beatable. makes sense since nobody is actually running the map lol

At this point in the demo, neutral is very similar to pacifist, as there isn't much of a reason to kill anything. you technically get a faster time by killing a single whimsun, but its very minimal. the difference between the two categories will become much more apparent after snowdin releases.
