Hey there, i would like to discuss a point with you :

Most of the time in the speedrunning scene, the "Any %" refers to the category allowing "anything" to reach the end as fast as possible.

But with KTANE, this category is called "All bombs (Detonation Allowed)". To be clear it's some minor adjustements, maybe not needed, but in the mindset of speedrunning :

• "Any%" could be called "Any % (No Auto-Detonation)" or something close.
• "All bombs (Detonation Allowed)" could be called "Any %".

I'm curious about what do you think ! See you !

On a new save you can't unlock the next levels if you make the bomb explode so it's not a real strategy.

Making the bomb explode is not a glitch, it's just something people do to have a more dynamic speedrun as the loading are really frustrating and take too much place in a run

I get your point. But since a new game in not required for either of the categories, i don't think that's the problem.

About a fresh savefile: At first i thought it would be the case for the "Any%" category but it's apparently a pain to reset the game progression... that's probably a difference with other games.

Any% means literally any percent completion of a game. Beating BL2 should count as beating the game since it's the last bomb. So starting on a fresh save should allow you to skip certain bombs cause the next section unlocks after beating 2-3 bombs on a previous section - t-e beating the first 3 bombs in section 3 would allow you to start section 4. That's how i think the "Any%" category should be. As for "All bombs (detonation allowed) is good as it is. Any% at the moment is "100% completion" since you're supposed to successfully defuse every single bomb and get the "Defused" mark. That's a 100% game completion imb.

"beating the first 3 bombs in section 3 would allow you to start section 4. That's how i think the "Any%" category should be."

Well since it's a sub-category of the "Full Game" division i don't see it that way.

What i was referencing to is the fact that usually a Any% let you use every aspect of the game (glitchy or not) that allows you to save time. But in our case it does not allow SD...
