Which do you respect more: Any% or 100% speedruns?

---

zero respec for speed runners

---

Any%

Depends on the game.

Some any %'s only require you to do a few tricks well because of arbitrary code execution or something like that, while some 100% runs are basically just "play slightly better than a regular person" which is also lame.

---

I don't know if it's a matter of respect, but I find any% runs more interesting

speedruns of any kind are pretty dumb

Both are cool, tbh. As are TAS, and skip glitch speedruns and anything else tbh.

But the best are quirky ones, like the guy who TAS'd Mega Man X and Mega Man X2 at the same time with the same controller.

And one guy dis the same but also did X3 but that one was really hard to watch.

---

100% especially if no weird glitches are used.

I have no problem with glitch runs I just am more impressed by non glitch runs.

---

I don't care much for speed runs, but I prefer 100% when I do watch one. Any time I look at any% it's always, Watch me beat this 30+ hour game in 5 minutes by exploiting a glitch that takes me right to the end credits.

Completely depends on the game, and that goes for any category.

---

100% is more impressive generally

Any% is fine as well, so long as its not like the pokemon speedruns where they glitch themselves to the end credits pretty much immediately. Like its a neat trick but come on.
---

I don't respect speedrunners

If I did, it'd be 100% just because of sheer length (depends on the game)

Any speedrun attempt is going to be 99% grinding, a 100% speedrun attempt will be 99.99999% grinding.

So any%
---

100% speedruns should be called Notsospeedyruns.
---

Depends on the length of the run, but I usually prefer any% speedruns.

---

Any% are more enjoyable to watch. I respect 100% more.
That said, I practically never watch speedruns in its entirety anyway so if I watch a speedrun I'd pick a 100% and skip to a moment I like.
---

Any% usually involve impossible to do bullshit that only a lunatic even attempts.

---

There usually categories for any% no skips so I dunno what you guys are mad about

---

Just as long as they're not glitching through the game in such a way that they're not actually playing the game. That shit is annoying, who wants to see you run through out-of-bounds space for an hour then get the ending screen?

---

non glitch tas any% runs tbh

---

I don't know what to choose.

I enjoy Any% speedruns way more, but 100% speedruns take more work and require more thorough planning, more luck, and in some cases multiple playthroughs of a game to get right. I have to imagine there's more competition for the Any%'ers, though.
