Might just be neat to see how fast people can beat each episode individually, without the need to unlock the next one. This can lead to more strats that we haven’t seen before in normal any% runs.
this would probably not be very interesting of a category tbh for raiders, it would be: go buy flying wing, drop onto the island, enter final level for temple it would be: clip through the gate, run over to the entrance to level 5 and chuck willie up there for crusade it would be literally what we already do in any% for cs1 it would be: clip into level 4, beat it, then go to level 5 for cs2 it would be: vehicle clip out by the level 1 entrance, then run down to level 5 for cs3 it would be same as any%
5 would only be one level, 1 would be 2 levels
While, yeah, those are current strats, most are never used due to the way any% works. Using these categories, more focus will be put into csp1, csp2, raiders, and temple, and quicker strats will likely be discovered due to the added focus on these episodes. I personally think they would be pretty useful and interesting categories.
Thank you for the suggestion, but we will not be adding individual episode runs as of now. The main reason is because most of them are basically glorified individual level speedruns, as well as being very short trivial categories that would not be very interesting in the long run.
