Standard CRC Challenge Definitions

The following challenge types use CRC's standard definitions. See the Glossary for full details.

Damageless:

• Damage is any loss of your character’s current health, regardless of the source.
• Changes to maximum health are not damage, even if they also change current health or later restore.

Deathless:

• A death is when your character fails in a way that resets progress, typically with a penalty like losing lives, items, or other resources.

Flawless:

• Damageless, Deathless, Glitchless
• [needs further updating]

Hitless:

• A hit is when an NPC or dynamic object makes contact with your character's hurtbox, causing damage or hard crowd control (Hard CC).
• Player-initiated actions that cause damage or movement are NOT hits.

Run Submission Requirements

• Full, unedited video proof is required
• Video and Audio must be clearly visible and audible.

These defaults apply while game-specific rules are under community review.

• The video must start from the game’s main menu.
• The final results screen shown after the credits must be included in the video, as it displays the scenario, game mode, total time and saves.
• Cosmetic modifications (such as character skins) are allowed as long as they do not affect gameplay and do not include any inappropriate or explicit (NSFW) content.
• Saving is only allowed using the game’s built-in save system. External tools or programs (such as trainers or debug menus) are not allowed. Save files may only be created in case of a crash, and only if the run is being streamed.
• Runs that are not streamed must be completed in a single session, with no saves at all. Hard/Nightmare difficulty modes are exclusive to the PC and Dreamcast versions of the game.
• Major glitches are not allowed.
• Going outside the intended playable area (“out of bounds”) is not allowed.
• FPS must be capped at or below 120fps.
• FPS needs to be displayed during the run (You can activate this in “Steam > Settings > in-game > in game FPS counter) or using Riva tuner.
• FPS settings may not be changed during the run.
• FPS rules only apply to the PC version of the game.
• Loading autosaves is forbidden.
• Graphics Settings may only be changed at Boss fights to allow higher/consistent framerate.
  • If graphics settings are changed for Boss fights, it must be visible during the video. If graphics Settings changes are cut from the video, the run will be rejected.
• If chief Irons grabs you in sherry’s section, RUN IS OVER.
• Stair Skating is allowed.
• No Damage and No Hit are completely separated challenges, this should not be confused since they are different runs. No damage implies that the life bar does not drop below 100% at any point in the game and no hit implies other characteristics that are explained in the challenge section of it.
