Regarding the current record in the 10,000m (Any Character, No Wingsuit) category

Hate to be that person, but the current world record run by Oetam with a time of 3:56 in the 10,000m (Any Character, No Wingsuit) category does not follow the rules.

As is stated in the name and rules of the category, there should be no wingsuit usage leading up to 10,000m. However, right at 9,890m or 3:55 in the recording (if you know how to use stats for nerds on YouTube, look for t == 235.64), the wingsuit is used. I don't know how to share a screenshot on here (I can send over Discord if necessary, through going to the exact t-value should suffice), but there is a clear visual of the wingsuit being used for at least one frame, with Izel not riding the board. Along with that, there's also the auditory cue of the wingsuit being used, as well as the slight animation of the wingsuit icon being depressed upon being tapped on.

You can also tell that the wingsuit was used by looking at the score multipliers. Leading up to the wingsuit usage, there was a score of 185 with a 3x multiplier, but right before landing, 40 points gets added on to that score to make 225, and the multiplier goes up 1 to become 4x, leading to the landing score of 900. Normally, the wingsuit gives 30 points on activation and increases the multiplier by 1x, but because the wingsuit was used so close to the ground, it also gave a "proximity flight" bonus as well to tack on the extra 10 points to make 225 (185 + 30 + 10 = 225, * 4 = 900, but without the wingsuit it would've been 185 * 3 = 555). Along with that, you can see "+Wingsuit" being written out where the score is just after the usage.

In my opinion, there is enough proof to affirm that the run should be removed from the category. I'm sure both the current record holder and the mod who reviewed the run had the best intentions, they just didn't catch the quick mistake. All in all, it was a great run save for the one slip-up, and I'm sure Oetam will be able to acquire a comparable time once more. But in the end for now, the rules must be followed and the current record run should be removed.

If I made a mistake and the run is actually valid, I encourage you to call me out on it and I will (hopefully) promptly delete the post if possible.

Looks like I used asterisks * a bit haphazardly and a tiny bit of the math and text looks poorly formatted, sorry.

After watching at 0.25x speed, it has come to my attention that Oetam is indeed using the wingsuit in his current 3:56 run. This run is now on deleted and the WR is now Morris14 with his 4:10.

It seems that this was too brief for me to notice and I apologize.

Thank you.

I just watched it back and I didn’t even notice myself. Good catch by you guys. I’ll have to take it back soon :)
