Why can you not use Shift+V in the Any% run?
Wouldn't it be more proper to call it an Any% (No Skip) run?
The Shift+V "trick" is programmed into the game, it's not some external tool or weird gameplay trick - it's part of the game and I think it should be included in the Any% runs; the goal is to beat the game as fast as possible using ANY means necessary.
Shift-V is a means that's programmed into the game, I think it should be allowed.
ich just found a manual of the game https://www.oldgames.sk/en/download.php?filedownload=7574
in the thread https://www.oldgames.sk/en/game/full-throttle/download/7574/ there is no shortcut told. And in other games there are similar shortcuts, i guess this comes not from the game. The Shortcut shift+V could be from ScummVM So it is not in the game, it is in the emulator. I hope this helps.
I think it would be nice if we get the category with shift+v , but not same leaderboard like any%

I've checked these Full Throttle materials to see if they mention Shift+V / Shift+W input combinations:
- Full Throttle manual for original American release (1994)
- Full Throttle Reference Card for original American release (1994)
- Full Throttle Troubleshooting Hints for original American release (1994)
- Full Throttle The Mini Official Player's Guide by Jo Ashburn (bundled with American Special Edition) (1994)
- Full Throttle Official Player's Guide by Jo Ashburn (1995)
- Full Throttle manual for American re-release (2001)
- Full Throttle digital manual pubslished with British 2.0 re-release (2002)
(2) and (6) mention Esc button to skip cutscenes. (5) mention Esc button to cycles between junctions in Mine Rd. segment. No mention of the combinations. Probably a debugging leftover?
Also checked the original MS-DOS game build using DOSBox 0.74 and the combinations do work there too.
I'm not opposed to using the Shift+V combination in a dedicated category. In order to be consistent with Full Throttle Remastered leaderboards, I'll add Cheat% category.
