summit level 9 boost you don't have to mess with frames, you just need to practice it... my run does it no frame tricks.

My personal view on rules:

* must be played alone

because otherwise you can manipulate the timings by having your buddy take longer than you - along with obviously completing parts of the map for you.

* must provide clear video evidence of the run

obviously no other way to verify a run. I think audio is a plus but can't be required because no one wants to listen to the ballrace soundtrack over and over.


* timer starts from the first try on the first level

this needs to be proven on video as well, you can manipulate the timings on level one by dying before attempting and then starting your video after you spawn for second try. this cannot be allowed.


I am not sure on frame limiting, will have to speak with devs to see if they have a client/server fixed movement change coming eventually, otherwise it gets really hairy...

I think you are right. I think the standard should be you have to fully prove you did the run, this visual glitch is atrocious - and without the reputation of snowi would not have been accepted.

Are there any objections to clarifying this in the rules that there needs to be clear continuous video evidence of the full run and rejecting this prism run?

I remember this run, I did have an issue with it as well. The visual glitching is too weird at the end to ignore.....

but do we honestly believe snowi cheated the run? snowi is well known within ballrace community very talented player. I doubt he cheated it. are there other visual glitches besides the very ending?
