Hello, I have a few points of contention I have with the rules of the main category that I wanted to discuss in spirit of speedrunning JFK Reloaded.

The main rule for the Kill JFK category states that JFK must be directly hit by the bullet, but there are other ways to kill JFK faster through ricochet etc. Is this worth changing the rules or not?

I feel like there is a hard ceiling at the moment where the fastest time can be achieved through skipping the intro as quick as possible and clicking at the earliest point that the bullet will hit the front of JFK's head. So in changing the rules, previous runs stand, but the category is expanded to include future, faster runs that still kill JFK in accordance with the name of the category and the main sentiment of the game.

Another point of contention I have is the timing rules. As seen in Cristiador's recent world record (well done btw), they skip the intro in one frame. There are two clicks that take place to do so, the click play and then another click or keyboard input that skips the text intro. Using a double clicking mouse (where the mouse may register multiple clicks at once, typically within 0.02 seconds or just over 1 frame at 60fps) I could only skip the intro in around 8 frames, much slower than Cristiador. Not accusing them of cheating, but such results seem improbable to me in all version of the game I have downloaded using the double clicking method. There may be another method or glitch to skip the intro and if there is I would like to entertain where it lies within the rules. Overall, I feel that skipping the intro is not an essential mechanic to the speedrun, as it should focus more closely around precision clicking at the right time.

Thanks for reading, axel

Thanks for the post,

I think if you can try to find other ways to be faster, and post evidence of it actually killing him, then I think yeah it would stand.

As for your 2nd point about the double-clicking mouse, I am still trying to understand the matter. If you wish to DM me personally feel free to.

Honestly I don't understand how I did that (maybe lag or something), but I think the intro shouldn't be counted in the final score since it's very annoying and pointless.
