Will there ever be a category that is more accessible to casual players than the ones that currently exist? For example, a no-glitch category which bans things like:
- Glitch exploits (bypassing walls, swimming in air)
- Sequence-breaking techniques (trampolining off enemies, wall-scraping for extra flight distance)
- Frame-perfect or near-frame-perfect techniques (such as bandit insta-takeout) I think this kind of category would be fun for a lot of people. Am I out to lunch on this?
Is there any chance that there will ever be a no-items leaderboard? And in a hypothetical world where there is one, what would be the best strats for getting the lowest possible time? And would emulators be allowed (ie: the one specified in the resources section)? What about segmenting? Maybe make it based on the in-game timer, like some of the categories already do?
Just spitballing here, as I've tried this category with an Albert funnel and a Rose funnel, and have done it slightly faster with Rose funnel, but am wondering if funnelling Dart or Haschel would be faster? What do you think?
If emulator is allowed, and it's based on the in-game timer, I would seriously consider running this category.
