We've been talking on discord and this discussion has been brought multiple times. This is about making a save with m1 completed, set orbs and souls to 0 and run ng from it without tutorial with vergil and lady. Similar to how Nero starts his run.

Although I was always against it, I have seen enough and multiple people asking for it happening a lot lately.

Since it's done in a manner where it does not affect the rest of the game, we are allowing this. The saves will be uploaded in the resource.

The rules are also going to be updated after current runs verification:

• Vergil run's now require FPS to be displayed and must be visible enough. Steam overlay is fine, but its much preferable to use Rivatuner.
• With the newest vergil skip we require runners to show 4SE window while switching windowed > full screen mode for out of bounds setup. Alternatively, you could show us Keyboard input.

Recently, we discovered that performing the trick causes the OBS layout timer to freeze "visual only". Meaning, the timer is still running and will calculate accordingly. For example, when the game splits on m8 the timer jumps from 16:59 to 18:09, thus indicating the timer was working the whole time.

To make things easier for us to verify we are going to add this new rule for Vergil. This also applies to Lady/Trish as well:

• Runners will be required to get the timer running on-screen again after performing a trick. If they don't do this, or don't have a timer on their screen, run will be rejected. They also must display an RTA timer alongside with the LRT timer.
• We are doing this to ensure that livesplit is still running correctly. this alt-enter breaks the RTA timers as well, then the solution would be that after any skip that breaks the timer is performed, the runner must pause the game and get the timer to resume like what artkiller does after performing the skip on mission 6.

Thank you and Happy running.
