When psychorunning was found, the run was shortened by 20-30 minutes, with crouchclipping the whole game changes and you have potential to save 1 hour+. You fuck up config files; so I think we should make a seperate category for this.
I do agree with some things in your post twitchy, but I don't like the idea of mixing Legacy and All Missions together, purely because Legacy is the biggest category right now (most runners), that really digged the game etc. You can't fuck up such category and have NO category that excludes the major glitches (Crouchclipping, Resolution toggling etc.) Legacy will be the most popular category, and you can't ruin that and force people (with worse CPU's & specs) to do another 'All Missions' Run to then send it in for Legacy.
Speedrunning with programs from outside? What is happening with this game guys.... Then remove it all, or make Nightmare legacy atleast the TOP category on the leaderboards.
Resolution Toggling kills the game, it does, it might be more popular under people that have a bad PC and cannot do certain tricks with just crouchclipping (like me), but how crazy does it sounds; you get into a config folder, change some values of certain resolutions, so you're FPS will drop like hell.
I do know that it is impossible to just ban resolution toggling, and keep crouchclipping there, because it will be 'not fair' anymore. But Resolution Toggling is not 'fair' as well. First of all, it kills your desktop; this might not be one of the better reasons, but a lot of people like to have a standard desktop setup and changing to such an high resolution will screw it up. Also, for streamers in particular, streamers like to have a stream setup, game in the middle; chat next to it; livesplit on other monitor; obs open and some other tabs. One resolution toggle and everything is back to places windows wants to have it on that resolution.
Last but not least, resolution toggling is still way faster for people with high-end CPU's, switching between resolution is for them like 3/4 seconds faster, and that much time is important in runs like Any%.
I want the old route again, have a little bit of specification difference between certain people for crouchclipping, but please, don't fuck up the game by changing your resolution to such an HIGH amount, that you will get < 10 fps, it's just crazy.
That's perfectly fine, your fastest run will be updated on the leaderboard. (if it's valid ofcourse :D )
This one is not so big, but big.
Saves for about 8 minutes in M2, bye bye axel, bye bye :D
Video of it being tried 3 times in a row.
