However Unfair XXL will be first

Have you considered a Glitchless category? Just play the game fairly and finish as fast as possible. Though, I wonder if jumping over a lift and a fence in Helvetia counts as glitches...

Martyste Tendertail

Well, it's like Ocarina of Time... people were wondering what to do of some intended movement causing unintended platforming

Martyste Tendertail

Flybash would be forbidden, but what about bashing early out of Obelix propellers, and walking out of a lock's range in Rome?

Martyste Tendertail

I guess we would have to settle down to a case by case and create the according route.

A NoPassiveLock limits the possibilities of cheesing things

I wanna make an Excel table for Any% strats now

Martyste Tendertail

I want to draw the any% path on my map also...

Martyste Tendertail

there we could add numbered flags/labels to link to a strat made at their location.

Here are my thoughts

1) I think a lot of columns are included in the "Passive lock" one

Simaf

2) Skipping hiding spots in windy caves isn't part of a speedrun to me...

Simaf

3) Some things like ending twister early are not glitches actually so...

Simaf

I would be for allowing movement in general (including the potions possibilities the game offers) in a speedrun while it doesn't collide with the passivelock things for such a category ...

Simaf

For the other things you mentionned, I would agree

Stinkek

Oh yeah, I also forgot this... With the potion here, you can jump to the top and skip the blocked path. Seems like a developer oversight.

Simaf

I don't recall if you skip a lock there. If so, then this is not a problem -> not allowed.

Simaf

If we don't then... I don't know... I'm not against skipping it. Would depend on what the speedrunners would like to do there I guess ...

Stinkek

I don't remember either... >_<

Failentin

Pretty sure there's no lock there
