Hello Everyone!
I'm writing this post to ask your opinion on a new glitch called Supercharged Dash Glitch (SDG) found by Adamo.
You can check the detail of SDG in the description.
Now I'm thinking about splitting current any% category into two subcategories which are Normal / SDG. Also, the rule will specify that the start of run is set as when you press the New Game.
This leaderboard change is based on the Refunct leaderboard which also has a similar trick called "New Game Glitch" that requires a setup before you start the run.
Also, in a above SDG run, Adamo uses a second window because of dash being broken after level 3. This is possible due to the fact that the savefile is shared between two windows. However, since this is such an unconventional way, I'd like to listen to other runner's thoughts on this.
If you have any questions or opinions, Feel free to share in this post.
I'm writing this hoping to some points brought by @turnipp to be implemented.
- Changing the category name "Any% w/ Glitches" to be just "Any%" because that's what "Any%" means.
- Adding the NintendoHardGamer's Any% and Glitchless WR run to the leaderboard to track the record time more accurately. I submitted the Any% run but don't want my bad run to be displayed as "1st" in a leaderboard.
I believe secret ending for hard mode/hard time trials mode is different. i don't know there's more
This game has multiple endings based on which mode you played. Finishing hard mode with less than 20 deaths or finishing time trials mode within certain amount of time, will give you different ending.
If the time trials becomes the main way to speedrun hard mode, I think getting to that secret ending should be included, since that would be faster than having to wait few minutes just to skip that secret ending.
Strahov Railing Clip : I share same opinion with Cadarev on this one. This is not a major trick that saves a lot of time, and we all know that current glitchless category is far from optimized. So I think the penalty is unnecessary and makes thing way too complicated imo.
Last shortcut at the Parisian Backstreet : This is the thing that had been bothering me and thought need to be addressed. It's really cool strat but is it really "Glitchless"? Exploiting the extended trigger radius in crouch animation should be considered glitch? or exploit?
Reset Timed Events by QS : They only reset the animation but the timer still remains still. You can easily check this in the police car animation at the Carvier's Apartment. Anyway that's not big of a deal.
Moon Jumps : Yes. This is definitely the biggest problem in a glitchless category. I had been judging the usage of moon jump glitch by looking at whether the runner gained advantage from it or not. Since the running moon jump requires pretty immediate QS to gain advantage from it, I thought whether the mid air QS was accidental or intentional can be easily distinguished. However, I can see that this can make a huge problem in the future and need to find a way to resolve this issue completely. One way could be making a community patch that removes the danger of accidental moon jump glitch, but of course this won't be an easy task.
So... I'm just posting at here instead of creating a new thread because I think this might be relevant.
I did a run with the rule of just banning the use of noclip (Any% No F1) and I wonder this category deserves a leaderboard.
Yes.. I know that it's an arbitrary rule that I made it up. So, If there are no one interested in running this category or the category itself is not interesting at all, I will be fine with community's decision to not create the leaderboard.
I like to hear your opinion.
thanks for the reply! currently I've learned almost every levels but I can't get the skip at Bergamot Tower level, that you go OoB and go straight to shop using the deck. when I get the deck and try to launch myself into the shop, I don't get enough distance or launch into wrong direction. Is there any specific setup that makes this skip consistent?
While I'm trying to learn this game, I found that I can't do ceiling clip with the chair in train job. I remember I did it easily even in my casual playthrough, but now I can't. :( What specific input you need to do the ceiling clip?
Another question is that while I was playing with this game, I found this glitch. Is it already known? It would be only minor time save or might not be useful at all but just posting it.
I couldn't find any discord or community to post findings about this game, so I'll just leave it here. If there's a discord, Let me know. Until then I'll post a few things in this forum
- Corner Clip
If there is a corner that James Bond can cover in the both of the wall, taking cover can sometimes makes you clip into the wall. Unfortunately, you cannot just walk out to clip out from the wall. So you have to use takedown move, or take cover to another wall to get out of it.
- Tunnel Dive
It's possible to skip all the fight and dive straight to the tunnel using the takedown move. The problem is that it's bit inconsistent. So I recommend you to hit the checkpoint right next to it then do the skip. This saves roughly 40s if you make it first try.
Any information about submission deadline for the second marathon?
- Stick It Up Wire Skip
This skips the first wire section of the level. By hitting the savepoint from the bottom, you will be respawned at the inside of the building.
- Pier Pressure Savepoint Skip
The ship won't be running until you hit the second savepoint. With precise jump, you can skip the second savepoint and go directly to the ship.
- Downtown Showdown Lever Skip
As you can see in the video, you can go to the roof of the building without getting the lever.
thanks! I think I'm nearly done with routing and now I will have to finish the run.
just uploaded the request. thanks :)

I wonder i could be the mod of Scribblenauts_Unlimited Current mod seems to be inactive for about a month and his twitter and twitch have been inactive for about a year
I just checked his info and it says he was last online one month ago... Maybe I just have to wait a little bit more..
I'm currently trying a Any% No Backpack Glitch category Are there any plans on making that category on the leaderboard?
