Did you want a "glitches category?" On vacation now but might be able to do something otherwise will later

3rd try still good. I never could get the natural approach, had to do the cheese pause strat.

But as long as it doesn't completely break the game. Might still be faster

I feel like someone did test that remember stopped doing it... I think the p s three version allows you to skip cut scenes...?

Sorry I didn't notice this thread start up. Next time you can just dm me if I don't respond lol. Seems like the consensus is to split the board. And while the run isn't at Blaster Master levels of different in terms of time. It does def differences in fundamental ways on how you play the game itself and the tricks involved. If @CritRocket wants to split I'll update his mod. Sadly I don't really have as much time as i used to. But I can if he can't.

Very interesting! Yeah we made the arcade archive version a year ago just in case there were differences. Some are very purist about rom versions etc in arcade. Still very cool to see!

Lol I don't know if the glitch occurs in the true arcade versions but there is a 2min run up now in this category. So that's fun.

Haha very funny run. Sounds like using this glitch there is a chance it just full on crashes instead of hitting the end? Either way there is already a "Arcade Archives" section up so I migrated this over to that category. Wonder if you can sub 2min?

Updated it when you actually beat the boss. You can submit at the correct timing next time if you want without going off your pure timer. Might want to update your PB as well in the splits double check the timing though

Congrats! Great game with good music. Hopefully even more people will run it. Though this will be hard to beat haha

Yeah I thought about using the gambling rooms. But was going from more consistent strats if I got it into a games done quick or something. Glad to see someone trying to push the limits

Nice job!

Nice to people coming back to this, was it in a big 20 or something :P?

Sorry for the delay. I forgot to check speedrun for a while lol Nice run.

Lol surprised you didn't go for the pimple boss first. That one is so tedious as Gunvolt.

Yeah no for now I'll keep oob in Any% No Warp Deathless. I mean it does save some time. But also you aren't just warping across the map or to another boss room. You still have travel time across the map.

If people are just blowing the others out of the water for a "mostly intended run" I might rethink it. But for now we'll just let more people play the way they want haha.

How many places are you able to oob in pal? I know i've seen the WR TAS do a couple places. Not sure how many are viable, especially in a mostly as intended run. Since you are going to each place in sequence.

No Warps Deathless and Glitchy Deathless then? Or whatever name people want to call it, Warped Deathless, Warp Deathless, Warptastic Deathless.

Not sure if no oob needs to be added to no warps though... I think Pal is slower without access to warps overall so not sure if necessary in the end.

And obviously a 100% Pal can be easily added if anyone wants to do that.

But I did specify 100% as NTSC atm since it's different amount of grinding to get to max. Still a weird design choice, unless it's a limitation somehow of Pal. Makes final boss ridiculous.

Now that other people are figuring out how to do the tricks in pal just wanted to see what others thought. I think either way we should get rid of the "glitched deathless" category. Should we just allow pal in all categories that it works in? (not sure it fits the spirit of the no warps run including the breaking into the background) Or should Pal get it's own cats in general. Since the runs that are in glitched deathless are really just any% deathless runs if we allow that stuff. well and any% runs technically too.

Coulda sworn I went in between first and second boss, but yeah i do have an extra item at that point lol.
