There's no mashless category for some reason, i thought it might have been glitchless but all of the top glitchless runs use mashing. I would like a mashing category please :3
Mashing saves a lot of time over regular movement, and it doesn't make sense to have the mashless ones alongside the regular ones
And you can't define a lot of things in speedrunning, like, for example, slow running. How do we define slow running without just mentioning intentions of the player? Also, I would describe mashing as a glitch because it wasn't intended by the creator. So mash runs should be in the glitch category
@FinnTheChat slow running isn’t important at all since they are at the bottom of leaderboards so that isn’t an issue. there is also a big difference from “glitches” and “technique”. how would you even determine if someone is mashing? you have to accept that mashing is simply a nature of the game that you can’t avoid, split or disallow
you can determine that someone is mashing by looking at
-
their intention
-
time save over not mashing
-
if they are crouching and jumping in times where it is not required and for very short amounts of time
Also I don't understand how you can call it technique if its litterally just spamming crouch and jump
also most techniques in games are just combining intended features, not abusing and spamming an unintended feature
i just dont want to have to get carpal tunnel to play a speedrun i like at the top level. i dont understand why you cant make a mashless category
"just lose the abilty to play one of your favorite speedrunning games at a top level" yuh huh ok
i mean you dont have to mash honestly, if you look at some top runs they use like momentum from sliding and then crouch hop to keep their momentum
bind crouch to m1, spam clicking is way easier than mashing
Just going to make this very short:
Please use the in-game splits the timer provides for you because the splits actually give you the time
