  1. How to name your speedrunning category: A primer.
  2.  
  3. Hi! My name is Dr. B. Things and I'm hear to teach young people about the importance of naming your shit right so you don't sound retarded when you're explaining your serious passion to someone.
  4.  
  5. Follow these rules.
  6.  
  7. A: Only use a Percent symbol when a number or implication of a number is present. Putting a word in front of a percent is idiotic.
  8. Ex: 1%, Any%, Low%, Max%, 100%, 118%
  9. B: Any%, no matter what, should be the fastest category - as long as first input and last meaningful input are the same, that is the fastest way to beat the game. (Excluding NG+)
  10. In Credits-warp scenarios where the last meaningful input is bypassed, it's really up to the community for the game to define the goal. Credits Warp is common.
  11. C: Goal-defined categories make things very clear! If the game does not have a percentage indicator, try using a clearly definited condition to call your speedgame. Be very clear when doing this - All Missions and All Story Missions are different!
  12. Ex: 70/120 star, All Missions, Medallions/Stones/Trials.
  13. D: Use modifiers and list them properly
  14. Modifier examples: All Bosses, Glitchless, Inbounds, Warpless
  15. Avoid "No X" and use better words to explain what the category has. Sometimes this is unavoidable.
  16. Glitchless should always be last excluding difficulty.
  17. "I beat glitchless all bosses" vs "I beat all bosses glitchless" - the latter makes more grammatical sense.
  18. Difficulty should be formatted afterwards in parentheses. Ex: Halo 2 Any% Glitchless (Legendary)
  19. E: In case of an IL or non-fullgame speedrun, its very game dependent. Use goal-related terms!
  20. Ex: Beat Chapter 1. Clear World 3.
  21. F: Use common sense
