This functionality of livesplit automatically starts the timer for you. Some autosplitters, such as the one for portal, will also split between levels. The autosplitter for this game does not have that functionality, so while it will start and end the run, you will need to split manually for the actual splits in the run.
Hope this cleared things up!
we do this level backwards anyway but cool find
FTR I support it being banned in both. FW takes out the entire element of routing around spatula count because you can just give yourself the powers and do the levels as you please. It takes out a big element of the run and makes it feel like "IL's The Movie" to me, honestly.
SHiFT's old crystal xbox lost around 15s in total I think? Every xbox varies but in general a slow og will still save time over a 360 and from my experience OG's vary in the 10-20s range lost if they're slow.
Crawfish (I think) made a spreadsheet. For the current Any% route OG Xbox saves rougly 50s to 360, to my knowledge.
