idk how to announce shit outside of the discord server... lmao

You can now submit Dc runs even if they arent faster then the normal Any% .

This doesnt mean you can submit your Any% runs in Dc category. you actually need to use the glitch ;D

EDIT: I have also added a new rule about capping the fps .

You arent allowed to uncap the fps in karlson when running dc. This means it should be at max 240fps .You also need to display your fps in the game , so we can be sure you didnt uncap it or go over 240fps.

Uncapping it can give you more crouches per second (thus making it hardware dependent)

If you dont know how to display the fps go to this guide: https://www.speedrun.com/karlson_itch.io/guide/q7ap1

Let me know what you think bout that and if you got any questions.

You can also report uncapped dc runs if i have missed some ( those done before rule change)

#General info

Heya im jannik . i never posted here, so i guess ill do now . im like 2yrs late lmao . i mainly run indie games but i might try bigger games sometime.i watched a few speedruns before i made a src account but never tried speedrunning myself.

#First contact with speedrunning

i first came in contact with speedrunning / speedrun myself when i played a indie game in which i found a few little strats and exploits. I later found a speedrun of the game which rly hyped me up i grinded a bit and with my new found strats i actually got a close wr. The game wasnt / isnt run too much with just a few players ever speedrunning it, but in the end i put it from around 3:50min to 30seconds (yea i found som rather game changing glitches).

#Karlson

Later i would speedrun another small game called karlson (now named karlson2d) . The game didnt have a page and i dont remember if we even suggested one , but i had a little discord of around 40 people with lb .

After that the game dev made another game which in which i also organised the speedrun community. We first had it in the devs own server ,which was kind of a mess ,as the game got a lot of traction and many people speedrunning it. (The game was denied from having a speedrun.com page so we had our own lb on the discord) . We then later moved to a external server ( the main server was really cramped and big. 50k as of now . maybe about half at that time)

This was a really good move haha . As later we / i transformed that server to a game series hub, as the dev would release a little joke game in the same style as the last game. This game also attracted a lot of speedrunners ( The dev mentioned alot about speedruns in his vids , i guess thats why that was the case) Even tho the game is... well a bit wierd , it had / has his fair following and would actually get accepted on src for a page . i didnt suggest it as i didnt think they would accept such a game, but someone else external suggested it and got it on src. Later we would come in contact with a content mod which made it possible to get all games up on src .which rly helped me , since i was partly the only one managing the leaderboards and having the whole thing automated is way better haha.

or like this ;D kinda tricky to get

i mean from what i know most dc runners actually do use an autoclicker . you also dont need a autoclicker or a macro... its just way faster that way . around 1000- 2500 cps is optimal i think

watch the guide https://www.speedrun.com/karlson_itch.io/guide/1oieo . fov doesnt do anything

so a segmented double crouch speedrun? . i got one its maybe a bit old and is a reupload but yea.. (really bad quality)

if you mean a segmented community speedrun. There have been made a few. this one is the most recent i think : . Or do you wanna use the footage of the runners to help making a TAS ? .,.. then just watch the current wrs . im confused

you can submit IL runs

hmhmmm true i think crouch jumps could be a bit tricky. especially getting them consistent at the start of an level. since on pc you just press w and d for example right after you spawn.. which is not really possible on mobile... if you can always 100% have the joystick in the right direction so w and d are 50/50 yes. then you can do it too but its tricky. thats how it works i think . i dont play on mobile

oh neat ! but yea i second what try said

Ive posted a guide for tricks and tips if you still need help:

https://www.speedrun.com/milkman_karlson/guide/g7056

Like tinonb said you need to time things right. Often people use crouch jumps :jumping when the player crouches and comes back up ,you can get the player to "crouch" by walking diagonal (w+d for example) or by other things like walking into crates (its not too consistent) many people also use tyre boost to yeet across maps : jumping right when you touch the tyre.

Actually you can start with a crouch boost in almost every level i think. Im gonna need to test myself but from what ive seen ive been able to do it everywhere.

Just press w+a or whatever combo you might need right after starting (you might need a few tries to tume it right) and wait for him to almost fall over . when goes for the final crouch release spacebar right before he "launches " himself on the ground.

You can see it in my lvl2 run i think. Its not 100% the same in every level but its pretty good

Edit: and for just crouch jump in general i either walk w+a and switch to w+d and so on(kinda looks like the player is drunk) or i do something else i wont discuss cause it might be more reliable but im not sure yet

wow this is a really important forum post! /s

be sure to record next time ;D gg

idk if its ok to post here, but i dont think sandblast minds it lol . https://discord.gg/4vraT8

yea i know that path ... i think its slower then the "normal route" not sure.... also cant we just make a little discord ..i got some little clips i wanna share but i dont wanna post on yt ...found a way to skip "the tower" complete haha...

hmm not sure what you mean.. Do you have a video?
