I know i am kinda newer to the gears speedrunning community and i would love to see this game get as popular speedrunning wise as other games such as SM64 and the likes, but should i wait to see if other competition emerges for this game before i optimize my runs. I could route it and fix the minor errors and get this run under 3 hours easily but do you think it would hurt the game more by doing that? I feel as if the time for first is closer to second it would make someone more likely to get involved and try to take over because they think they have a chance. It's the same reason why i came to this game. Just a thought and I'm truly curious what you people think on this matter.
