I have zero tolerance for people trying to cheat their way to the top. Earlier today I received a run, and frankly what I watched was quite obscene. I really did expect more from this user, as I felt they earned a title for the WR holder after making their way to 2nd place less than a month ago. But instead of grinding attempts and figuring out faster methods for the enrichment of the community, we get a slap in the face from this user, Pagsi, as he/she attempts to splice out a couple cheeky seconds during an animation cutscene in hopes nobody will notice. Below is a video I made as evidence to warrant this user's ban from submitting runs in the future. I hope I'm wrong, but this is how it appears.
Hopefully it's a new strategy that no one else knows about. Or hopefully this user is playing a different version of the game than the rest of us. But his/her previous PB video had the same animation timing as everyone else.
Please do not let this message come across as an attack, but rather a learning experience for us all. I hope this user responds below with a case for this being legitmate, and we can move on.
Disappointed, f1
Ah alright, the reason why my cat moves faster towards the castle is because right before I touch the flag I turn the cat to the right this makes me move faster towards the castle. If you touch the flag while facing the left you move really slow like on your pb.
good discovery! i hope my friend and speedrun.com user f "f1" 1 will utilize this amazing strategy in his upcoming world record speedruns
I am very glad I was wrong. Thank you for sharing your discovery.
