Hey Everyone,
I would have liked to post a run before asking this but alas. I think it'd be cool to have a CryBaby% category. We do already have 1 run! Not sure how M1 would feel about it but similar to the All Modules run, you get to see much more of the game/ship, as well as not being as optimized as the Any%.
At any rate, I enjoyed the CryBaby speedrun and thought it'd be cool to make it a thing, in spite of the weird rules n' stuff.

any speedrun category that mandates you spend about a sixth of the total time doing nothing (between the many cutscene, shodan cutscene, lack of korenchkin skip meaning you sit on the elevator 2 additional times) is likely not going to be very popular, at least to run yourself, maybe to watch it's something else.
i've been thinking a bit about the idea of some "glitchless" speedrun, or maybe just "no invincibility, no major skips" category that resembles the normal game a lot more, but still allows some neat tricks like smuggling from the training, free research, and character creation stat grinding. it's pure laziness that prevents me from routing it and doing anything though
Agreed. I also miss the runs prior to the discovery of the invincibility glitch, especially using the Biochambers to move around.
