I was wondering if we could possibly get a glitchless category for runs?
Spice things up a bit, ya know?
Glitchless wouldnt really work well for this game. All of the glitches found for this game make it more fun, and nobody would want to run a category where you can’t do moonboots in beacon 3, or can’t skip the dome in abyss 2.
I understand where you're coming from, but i have to disagree. I recently completed a glitchless run, clocking in at around 2 hours and 46 or so minutes. It isn't the best compared to the World Record on any%, but I'd argue its pretty good for a first run. I can absolutely optimize on it and definitely shave off 50ish minutes with some practice.
Glitchless runs have a lot of potential and at the very least deserve a category.
I'll broach this with the other SRC Mods.
as already explained, its generally agreed that the glitches in TF|2 make the speedrun more fun, such as by allowing us to skip relatively boring sections (Sludge skip/Dome skip) and enable high skill and rewarding segments/routing (Super Fastball and its variants, Lone wolf) so there hasn't ever been a high desire for a glitchless category as a result. however since the last time the topic was ever seriously discussed, there have been a good number of additional glitches routed in, so there's some merit to revisiting the topic. cannot and will not promise anything will come from this however.
I understand if the decision is made to not add the category. To be honest, I didn't think it'd be considered at all.
