Hello everyone!

As you know a manipulation to level-up on the 1st fight of the game was found recently and that lead to open a vote and revisit the ruleset due to the nature of this manipulation, its a pre-new game manipulation, that means, the setup is done prior to start the timer.

We have added some clauses to the ruleset that makes everything more objective and less interpretative.

This rules applys to ALL the categories:

• All runs must be single segment
• The use of keyboard macros is banned

This rule applys to Any% and Level 6 categories:

• Hard reset is required. Launch of the game must be shown on the submission

Any% and Level 6 runs now require a Hard Reset, meaning that PC has to show the Autosave prompt when booting up the game while Console Runs need to start their recording no later than booting up the game. This is to ensure that no manipulation has been performed neither accidentally nor intentionally and future-proofs and potential issues with future pre-game manipulations.

In extension a new category has been added, called "Any% Manip", this category allows the pre-new game manipulation. The new category will be moved to the Miscellaneous categories for now and will remain that way should it be generally accepted.

That's all, thanks for reading everyone, make sure you join the Discord to stay connected with the community.
