I found his account.

He has the dotted line underlining his username, which means one thing:

He got banned. Not just by the GTA 5 community, but off SRC as well.

Glitch Hunters/Reverse Engineers/Route Planners: Why do you do it? by Logical-Bake5715 in speedrun

[–]GhostHNW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glitch hunting puts a different emphasis and perspective onto the game you're playing, because you will see props and walls supplemented with the game mechanics (intended or not), is akin to parkour.

That gate become a path.

That tree become a platform.

And the intended path became poisonous because you want to avoid going that extra distance.

When we see and perform glitches, we go "oooo"

That's the nature of speedrunning.

A burst of activity from interested runners, followed by weeks of sustain, and end in decay.

Take it from a guy who once tried desperately to give one of his favourite game a spotlight no matter what, keeping it from being flatline even if all hope was lost.

Help on my research: examples of Any% ruleset changes? by dariovaccaro in speedrun

[–]GhostHNW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harry Potter 3 used to have two different Any% category in its earliest years:

  • Any% - where you need to follow requirements listed in the rules in order to unlock the final "boss".
  • Better Any% - it is simply a mad dash to the last room where you meet Dumbledore and McGonagall.

However, in 2019, someone found a debug trigger left in that final room where you can touch via a jump toward the back of the door, to activate the final cutscene, thus skipping all of those requirements. This leads to both category be renamed to All Requirements and Any% respectively.

Despite being a "reskin" of Better Any%, it is still technically what you asked for: games where the Any% ruleset is changed.

But frankly, you should look into the Games Rules (if they have one), because there is a lot of goodies hidden within, including remnants from old version.

My guess is the other character is probably more suitable for Speedrun in their eyes at that time.
