Yo guys i'm sorry but how exactly a new category with new cool skips (which required lots of time to find and perform) are harmful to your dear "speedrunning" in any way? Nobody asks you to put down console players or newbies, they can play the old (and it'll even remain a main) category all they want, just let the people who want to juice the max from this game to do it and get their runs on the fucking board, is this too much to ask? Like watch this segment and say that this isn't cool. It's just sad to see you guys rejecting the only people who actually put effort.

Best regards, big KAL2 fan.

Now it just looks like you guys are getting a bunch of your friends to make posts on the forum or reply to other posts about the situation to try and help your case, that's not gonna work in the slightest lol. The fact that people need a "leaderboard" to speedrun a game is pathetic, anyone can do anything they want and post whatever runs they want on YouTube and claim it as WR, that's your own choice. You don't need a leaderboard to do a speedrun, and having your run on a leaderboard will barely help you get any extra views if that's all you care about and if that IS all you care about then you shouldn't be speedrunning at all.

The fact of the matter is regardless of how cool the strategy is it cannot be accomplished without third-party software. To be quite frank most boards on SR.com would deny a run like this using outside software to use glitches otherwise unobtainable within the game. After running extensive tests on the glitch the max amount of FPS loss I could achieve was 100-130, without Rivatuner to force a cap that doesn't exist in K&L2 even most consoles would not reach the lag needed to perform any of the strategies in this run (assuming console players had a Print Scrn strategy to begin with and barring the PS3 and 360). Even amongst PC players this strategy is unobtainable, with less than 10% of Steam users having a PC required to perform the glitch naturally based on the quality of hardware in Steam's latest Hardware Survey, this percentage doesn't take into account players not running windows systems, which would likely lower the percentage further, though by a small amount.

They are not getting a bunch of friends (i'm the only one btw, what bunch are you talking about) to comment, who would be friends with Tesla? I just thought that maybe they're too prideful to have any meaningful conversation (maybe you too though). Is this a joke about viewers? If it isn't then please stop projecting, it would be MUCH easier to just press +w for 35 minutes and get the WR than to find all this shit and then argue with you, their run is much more complicated. You don't need a leaderboard to do a speedrun, sure, they already ran without it, you see the run up there, but is it this strange of concept that people just want to keep their runs in one place for themselves? I just don't see a reason you guys gatekeeping this shit so hard, every board these days have unrestricted category with all bunch of things you can't perform on a fresh setup, idk, would you ban a HRH mod in bioshock infinite? Remove all the first patch categories all over the SRC? It's just weird.

I wouldn't even want to comment on this rant about unreachable 1fps, it's just stupid, everyone have rtss nowadays, you can't play without it if it isn't a fucking "fortnight".

This actually isn't true, not only are console players unable to run RT, but Linux's RT equivalent (Mango) is brutally unstable and MacOS lacks an equivalent (only having benchmarking tools that are unable to set fps caps on programs). Windows PC users are the only players who can run RT with any consistency which is ridiculously unfair to a large number of runners especially when you consider the thing restricting their runs is a third-party program.

​Is my english this bad? How's new coop category (it's almost useless in singleplayer) where allegedly only pc users will be able to participate, and let's be real, there'll be 0 new runners in a year in KAL2, unfair? Console and other +w godgamers will compete in their true OG any% main category while some nerds will sit there alone in an unrestricted board with their puny lowskill run made in an hour, and voila, no problems, no drama, win-win, right?
