Hats off to ISlide for finding the glitch all you are doing is interrupting a mantle that results in every mantle from then on taking you to the map co-ordinates of your previous mantle until your game is restarted.
I used the level editor to find maps which share co-ordinates for the purposes of going fast but I'm a bit tapped out on the process now so I uploaded the compiled maps and tool so maybe other people can find faster warps.
The level editor is in Spanish and a bit tricky to use but I made a very basic how to document
I've just started doing runs of this game and I can't help but notice that the categories make no sense. Cubeface's "single segment" 2:06:35 loads saves making them segmented, Tesseract's run uses lolSDA timing and "No Physic Glitches" doesn't work as a category as ledge warping which is arguably more broken than angle skewing isn't a physics glitch. I'm also running bad ending because it's faster.
Because I don't moderate and don't really engage in any communities I never really considered this question.
I am certain it varies quite a bit across games which makes me think it's just up to the whims of the game's community or an artifact of a game's speedrunning evolution.
From what I see they include anything from old any% times from before skips were found almost like an archive, joke categories, fun stuff that people want to compete in but aren't considered serious and fulfilling abitrary criteria the game tracks but doesn't "finish" the game.
Wouldn't anything aside from "beat the game as quickly as possible without external means or cheats" be "miscellaneous"? I have seen leaderboards where categories that get enough competition are added and not considered misc.
I'd be a little surprised if there was a consensus, I'm just interested to see what people think or other communites us them for.
This cretin: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpa7K66tjkuzS1NlQtf5TkQ/videos reupped my sh1 and sh3 10 star meme runs to his lets play channel and added his own commentary as if he's playing plus he is trying to score some patreon dollarydoos.
You might want check if he's taken any of your stuff too.
This boss has been known to waste time in runs so I got around to making a brief guide for the strategy I used in my runs. Hopefully it will help out people that have had issue with it.
