I just started to run Vectronom on Switch. I'm curious about some points. Did you change the setting for the input sensitivity? I didn't, and I think it runs smoothly. I also would like to know, if you use a Pro Controller or the Joy-Cons (my choice). I noticed that I use the left side when I have to be on the beat, and the right side when I have to be fast. Have you made similar experiences? Since I'm a total beginner, do you have any other tips for me?

Sorry for the late answer (it seems I’m the only Switch speedrunner here 😅).

Switch version can be tricky: I had in the past encounter some glitches due to old version of the game (in PC version, they did update and patched most of those exploits) but it doesn’t affect the speedrun (just annoying if it happens, like a sudden green screen). I’m playing with a 8BitDo Lite Controller, but JoyCons are okay (if you’re not affected by its button size): playing left AND right can be a way to be consistent, but don’t spam alternatively between hands -> better is to spam a direction with one button. ProController may have long travel press buttons (so not fit to spam in a tempo maybe?), it’s DPad is not ideal, sticks for speedrun vectronom is janky.

Input sensitivity? Don’t understand. The player input margin must be at default (speedrun rules) because it’s affect the detection time intervals of the inputs. It don’t affect inputs of the controller.

Speedrun wise: look out for the other speedruns for inspiration and fastest strats. Some strats are very difficult: there are always easier strats that are safer and more consistent at all levels. Maybe go in the game’s Discord for more tips? 😉

Thanks for this specific answer. I'm glad there is someone running it on Switch.

I know this green screen too well. I often restart levels instantly when I miss a frame ;) Yeah, I'm used to the JoyCon buttons, and I can run while in handheld mode. After some weeks of running Vectronom I constantly use the right hand, which is faster as my left one.

Sorry, I should have consider the speedrun rules, but thanks for the enlightenment. :)
