>Any% refers to completion percentage, not the number of glitches allowed.
Indeed, which is why I said "usually."
I usually see "Any %" and "Any % no glitches," but I just dabble in watching speedruns. If I see "Any %" with no other qualifiers, I'm going to assume glitching is allowed.
I think it can be a bit arbitrary at times when a technique is considered "glitching" or not. The community decides. Which is fine.
I saw a speedrun of Super Ghouls and Ghosts that had a clever limitation - "pick up all weapons that show up." If you're familiar with the game, if you pick up a weapon you lose your previous weapon and some weapons are way worse than others.
