Hi, I wonder if we can split the runs into Controller and No-controller speedrun? Just my idea.
I think it's a big enough difference to warrant it. People who can't get a controller have a decent disadvantage, honestly.
Agree, in controller, you can just smash the buttons to choose, when in keyboard/mouse SR, the number of drags every choices already enough to make differences (probably in seconds) when adding up to the whole run. Take bathroom part in episode 1 for example, you can just walk up meanwhile spamming the X button to use the mirror in the bathroom (don't have a controller, sadly), meanwhile you cannot use this same technique on keyboard/mouse speedrun, otherwise it'd mess the camera up.
But, the skips where you walk up walls is much easier on kbm (breakfast/ fast barn skip), which makes up for these. They are a nightmare to do on controller imo.
I got the breakfast skip pretty easy with my controller. Never tried it on keyboard, but youre right. keyboard is so much slower
I don't think I've ever had trouble with the skips on controller. Probroski's run on episode 3 he destroys the breakfast skip with a controller and even if they are harder with a controller, the drag function more than brings a pretty monumental disadvantage. However, the filter for no-controller can pretty much act as the leaderboard, right?
The problem with this is that Avouca and I use both keyboard and controller. Controller for dialogue, Mouse and Keyboard for Focus and some camera movement. It wouldn't make sense to make another tab just for that because seeing how PS4 and PC are on the same tab I don't think another one will be make for just controller/ No controller.
It is an unfair disadvantage but people generally have some sort of controller they can use, whike KBAM has its own advantages too. Seperating them would also mean to have another category which allows both, which I agree isn't worth it. You're also splitting up console away from the majority of PC players, and also giving people free WRs because there'll be more categories in doing so.
So splitting up into 6 different categories (KBM any%, KBM 100%, Controller any%, Controller 100%, KBM+C any% and KBM+C 100%) would create problems, I see.
Although that people can compete in different categories, I guess having more would gives free WR cuz some people don't have condition and sort of that.
