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

we need this so bad. i tried the mashing thing and my hands hurt after just 1 saferoom

please

Just don't spam your crouch key then

there isn’t any way to regulate what is known as “mashing” so this can’t be a thing

it could be like “you can’t mash this many times per second” you see how that would be dumb?

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

slow running is banned. that was my point

not on all leaderboards but on a lot of them

you can determine that someone is mashing by looking at

1. their intention

2. time save over not mashing

3. 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

bro is just yapping

who is bro arguing with???

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
