Hey everyone!

It's always been heavily implied (but not specifically written) that starting runs from a savestate was not allowed. I've messaged many random runners asking for people to start runs from complete resets. As of June 10th, 2024, runs starting from a savestate will now be automatically rejected whether or not G gun dropped in the first stage.

I'll accept the ones still in queue right now as I don't think anyone cheated starting from a savestate, but moving forward any run that starts with a savestate will be rejected. Again, I don't think anyone is cheating, but it's entirely possible off savestates to always start and force G gun drops in stage 1. This is now prohibited in the rules and explicitly stated so instead of just being "implied" as a thing not to do like in every other game on SRC.

Thanks!
