I see in the rulings that "skipping stages is not allowed". May I ask why not? Or why not have an any% category where you can utilize this feature?
Thanks.
you have to actively unlock this feature by beating the entire game first, so it's not really an "Any%" when it's a NG+ feature.
also come on that's really really dumb and borderline valueless as a category
also hi I ran this game once with an insanely outdated Easy mode route this validates me having an opinion on the matter wahey
Pretty much what Punchy said. Skipping stages would reduce such a run to mash text > skip cutscene > skip stage, repeat. Naturally, there has never been any interest in such a category, hence why it does not exist.
never been any interest? Ghost did several runs of it. Should make a separate, misc, category for it imo
Several runs? All I am aware of is him submitting a run several months ago to the existing category (which at the time did not have this rule explicitly stated as it was assumed to be common sense), getting caught for it and proceeding to harass a mod for a bit. I am sure you understand that making a category without any real gameplay for this one person would be beyond silly.
Which is why it should be a misc category.
Also, how is following the rules "cheating"? What about submitting a run elicits getting "caught"?
Not a fan of too many categories unless they really add something. I do not think this is worth adding.
As for your other question, I do not see how that is relevant at all to the topic at hand. This happened months ago. Ghost went against unwritten rules, that were subsequently written down to avoid this scenario in the future. End of story.
Locking this thread. You have my answer.
