Anyway we have a dead-lock here, i followed the current minimalist rules written by you, i posted my run and it become approved, its not just my run become removed just because you forgot to uptade the rules. Remember i posted a topic in this forum to make sure im following the rules and i was answered, if Cyberdemon forgot to say that all stages is needed and he forgot to ad it to the rules is not my fault.

How can we solve this in a friendly way?

Hello Cyberdemon, i understand you forgot to put some missing details in the minimalist rules, the ice weapon needed at Gate Lab I is one example and due it i made that topic. But remember, you cant punish me for a mistake of yours, rules are rules. My suggestion to split minimalist into any % and all stages was made just for you fix this mistake.

Remember i never said the last 8Bitis minimalist run was invalid, i just mentioned that detail about weapon up got in North Pole Area to inform him about this detail, and as you read there, i said to him delete my comments after he read that, i always considered that run valid, its not the point of this discussion;

Well, the rules doesnt specific that you cant use weapons against hightmax only at Gate Lab II.

Here is the current minimalist rules:

"Minimalist is defined as no health upgrades, no equipped parts, no weapon upgrades, no subtanks, and no subweapon usage. Please know before hand which reploids contain weapon or life upgrades, and avoid them.

Jumper is required for Nightmare Mother's stage in order to survive the fight, so it is able to be acquired and equipped on Gate's Lab 1 and Gate's Lab 1 only. Subweapons, ie, boss weapons are only able to be used on Gate Stage 1 Spike Wall, Hi-Max, and the gap jump following Hi-Max.

This must be played on Xtreme difficulty.

All other standard rules apply."

Also, i posted before a topic in this forum and in its content i asked about fight against High Max just to ensure that i will not break the rules. The post can be seem at:

The answer from Cyberdemon531 that i understood was that doesnt matter if you fight against High Max inside the 8 mavs stages or in Gate Lab II stage, you can use weapons against him normally.

I never said nothing about jealous or malice from you, and that little break of rules in your run for me is irrelevant, for me your run should be approved and you deserved the 1st place without problems, i just thought unfair my run was removed due a reason that is not present in the current minimalist rules. Also, Cyberdemon said in that discussion the rules should be all stages, but also could be unfair removing my run due it because this detail is not present in minimalist run, but to keep all things friendly i suggested split this category into two, minimalist all stages and minimalist any %.

Please review your decision, im sure i didnt break the rules as you assert;

Hello.

My minimalist run was rejected before some months after its become accepted, but i didnt understood the reason:

"unnecessarily breakes buster only when fighting high max early to skip 8 mavericks"

The moderador who rejected my run was 8BitisGr8. Can you please explain to me more detailed this reason? I cant see where this reason break the actual minimalist rules.

Thks in advance;

Very nice trick, i tested it in both american and japanese versions, worked fine. Congratulations on discovering this;

Thks man for the answering;

Oh, very nice! I love unarmored X. Please check the minimalist rules, this detail is missing.

Using unarmored X only, how is possible to pass it https://imgur.com/a/wuKW6 without using the Ice Burst or any other weapon? I think jumper is not enoug for it.

The jump that require magma blade is it https://imgur.com/a/FNDeG ? I always used the jumper to pass this area with unarmored X, i will try this trick with magma blade;

Hello.

I wanted to make some attempts at minimalist category, but i still have some doubts yet:

1. Can i play with both X and Zero, even with armored X (Forth Armor)?

2. Whats exactly the gap jump following High Max as mentioned at rules of this category?

3. If i can use weapons only at High Max, it include the fight against him at alternative routes in maverick stages or only at Gate II stage?

Thks in advance for any clarification;

Thks to Luiz Miguel to implement the new categories 100% and Buster Only at miscellaneous tab for MMX2;

Hello.

I suggest to add three new categories to MMX2. These categories are:

• 100%
• Buster Only
• Low % Buster Only

Also, all these categories with their correspondents sub-categories SNES/VC and emulator.

Thks in advance for attention.
