So Any% involves beating the game from a fresh file, which includes the cutscenes, sometimes having to grind for blips/blueprints, etc. I think there should be an NG+ category in which you go through the four levels (Communications, The Armory, The Study, Frazzer's Room) from a used save file, it'd be a more fast-paced category and cut off a ton of time from Any%. More beginner-friendly as well IMO.
I am in favor of creating a new NG+ category. I don't think there are any disadvantages. What about everyone else?
I'm not an English-speaking person, so if you have any suggestions for what to include in the category rules, I'd appreciate it.
As for the name of the category, I’d go with Any% NG+, but if you’d rather make a subcategory, you could make the names “Fresh File” and “NG+”
My rule suggestions would be:
-
Time starts upon spawning into The Hub after clicking anywhere on the screen.
-
Time ends upon interacting with Frazzer after his boss fight.
-
Complete all four paths, this includes:
-
Communications
-
The Armory
-
The Study
-
Frazzer’s Room
- Your save file used in the run must be already completed upon the beginning of the run.
