  1. +96miffy There are a couple kinds of glitches. And that's what makes it hard to say, as some are a bit of a grey area too. Personally, I actually really enjoy Super Metroid speedruns, as for the most part, they seem to allow the mockball and the crystal flash squat issue, and I guess fast kill Kraid. Maybe a couple others. To me, these are elegant, skillful or ingenious, and while they cut off a few seconds or minutes, they come across as nifty semi-legal ways to get through doors/paths a little bit out of order. I mean, really, it's not like the mockball is really all that weird- it comes across as a skill like wall or bomb jumping. On the other hand, I've tried watching other games' speed runs where it's like they glitched the game to hell. Heck, all those SMB games with warp whistles and crap like that- that's a totally legal way to crap all over a speedrun. Anyone who uses a totally in the game warp whistle for a speed run time is cutting out huge areas of the game. And to me THAT is what is uninteresting. I want to see the whole game speedrun- so glitches (or even features) that that wipe out huge sections of the game are a huge turnoff.
