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 final time, hit ratio, enemies killed and number of times killed.
• The final typewriter save after the results screen is required to be shown in all submissions, and not making it will result in a rejection.
• 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.
• Changing gun laser color is allowed.
• Retry is forbidden (this means you cannot use the “retry from a checkpoint” button).
• Red Zealot Incendiary trick is allowed.
• Wrecking Ball skip is allowed.
• RE4_tweaks mod all settings (except the trainer section, besides ESP “Show side info” tab which is the SRT) are allowed. – Modifying input.ini is allowed, with the exception of binding things to scroll wheel, (scrolling for merchants and/or for rifle aiming is allowed as it is the game’s default behavior).
• Special costume 2 (Leon gangster outfit with Ashley in a suit of armor) is forbidden.
• The Ditman glitch (striker), TMP glitches (GC only), and all out of bounds and float glitches are forbidden.
