  1. Thoughts on making a kind of marathon specific category for Anachronox?
  2.  
  3. Any% skips like everything. sick af to watch but hard to appreciate.
  4. Glitchless takes so long that it grows boring. While awesome to see the whole picture of the game, it loses some excitement factor.
  5. NMG is impossible because there are literally SO many things you would have to make a specific judgement call on you'd never be able to say "this glitch but not this one"
  6. I want to kind of blend the three in a marathon specific, most entertaining, get the most out of the game content/route, lowest needless down time kind of way.
  7.  
  8. I want the scenes, the gameplay, the combat, the story to be shown. It's an amazing entertainment value game to witness.
  9. However, say for instance, the combat leg to the first boss early on.
  10. there are a ton of fights. more fights than you need to be at an appropriate level to be able to defeat the boss.
  11. animations take forever, healing items get gouged, and you end up with more exp than you'd need
  12. Imagine that for the majority of the game. just a lot of excess time in fights and stuff that are otherwise not detrimental to gameplay, the route, or viewing experience
  13. So id like to, once i have the exp i need, use the battle skip glitch to skip the fights after I reach what I need exp wise.
  14. "make it NMG"
  15. well, sure.
  16. but there are so many glitches and skips it'd be impossible to justify picking some over others.
  17.  
  18. so, my thought, is to make something that shows as much of the game as possible, get what parts I need from combat and such, then use glitches to expedite it to reduce downtime and maximize the entertainment value. Call it Showcase% or something and tailor it for my own fun runs and marathons.
  19. kind of make calls on what glitches i decide to allow in it or not based on how clean the run is, etc
  20.  
  21. the pros :
  22. If a run is going badly i can incorporate more stuff as I go to speed up and meet estimates. Warps, OOB, etc that I'd try to abstain from but could use in a pinch if run falls behind and such or just for more flash.
  23. Shows all of the good stuff, speeds up the more mundane stuff for entertainment purposes.
  24.  
  25. the cons :
  26. super loose on ruling and what can even be decisively a "category"
  27. if someone asks i legit have to just be like "well its whatever glitches i feel like doing"
  28. so comparing PBs or splits and stuff might be wonky
  29. Essentially, I wanna show off funny skips and cutscenes and fights and stuff. I don't want to show all the slower stuff off and that's where the glitches and shit come into play. Anachronox is FILLED with content and side stuff etc.
  30.  
  31. I want to be able to trim the stuff out that isn't necessary for me to be able to continue the run and keep a routes integrity.
  32. just kind of struggling to come up with a way to do that
