United StatesCan you describe what you mean by glitchless? As in, what would be removed from the existing categories.
This whole thing shows that the GTA community relies on the "good ol boy" system instead of actual integrity. What a bummer.
Removing the variable altogether while still allowing runs that use the app just further proves my point that DV would rather bury this than actually address the issue. I think you know you are in the wrong, and your conflict of interest is holding you back.
If the iFruit app is banned, then why are there runs still on the leaderboard that use it? Surely, current and future runners cannot be expected to compete against runs that use a banned tool. I believe all runs that utilize the iFruit App should be removed.

Glad you got it working MaxHeat and thanks DiFFtY for sharing the info.
if you add restrictions in the rules (EXAMPLE: no duping allowed) then it is no longer any% - which relies on the implicit nature in its namesake that runners will do whatever it takes to get to end of game, THE FASTEST.
any% doesnt care about how much fun it is or isn't - and so help me god if i see more bully in these threads i will have my head spin
Just to be clear, neither of you (MaxHeat + f0oga) are playing on Steam version?
Also, I do the same thing cyber mentioned, turning up the brightness in the screen capture. What you guys see in my videos is a bit brighter than what I see while playing.

Speedrunning doesn't care if you don't want to learn the strats. Go fast or go slow, it's up to you (and your viewers I guess, if you really let them dictate that), but a new category should not be added to the main boards every time someone wants to tweak the set rules.
The console version is not optimal in the sense that major strats cannot be performed. Overall, I do not know how much slower it actually is because I have never attempted a run on console.
It would definitely be something interesting to test out. I own the PS4 port and I can say super jumping is completely possible but a bit awkward because of controller layout. The major downside to the console versions is that you are without the quicksave / quickload which severely limits using major strats (Dead Man Walking namely but also manipulations like the start of Part 1, Chapter 7.)
Any program that shows your key inputs would be great. Again, this is not mandatory for the game but it would definitely ease my mind. As it stands, I am sure you can get a faster time than what you had submitted - good luck. Also, I will follow you on Twitch because the best way to build trust is through familiarity.
The issue I have with the video you submitted is not that I think you are perfect at super jumps, it is more that you are incredibly inconsistent. I understand sometimes you get into the zone and are able to string together several good jumps but your run seems a little bit off to me for several reasons:
- You lack real substantial skill everywhere in the game aside from getting super jumps.
- You have no history of running this game or a history on speedrun.com (This is not criminal but leads me to be cautious)
- Your game experienced a strange crash and upon restarting the game, you were severely less effective at super jumping.
- You tend to be much more consistent at super jumping when you swap from a 1 handed to 2 handed weapon but not the other way around.
Now all of these things were only suspicions of mine, so I decided to annotate every super jump you performed. I tallied up the number of jumps you completed and how many attempts those jumps took you to achieve. I also compared your rate of success between swapping from 1 handed to 2 handed weapons and 2 handed to 1 handed weapons. Of course, for some more comparison I did the same thing for my 52:42 PB run. This is what I found from my run:
Keep in mind that I am using my PB not only as a baseline but as a representation of the level/rate in which I actually attain super jumps. Across all weapon swap types, I stay within a 1% difference in success with a slight edge in doing better at swapping 1 handed to 2 handed weapons. Still overall, I only accomplish 45% of the super jumps I attempt. Now here is the data I recorded from your run:
From this it appears that you are wholly consistent with a standard run. However, prior to your game crashing you were significantly more successful at super jumps in Part 1 and 2 in which a one handed weapon was swapped for a two handed. An incredible success rate of over 80% of the jumps attempted in that manner were successful. Yet, at Part 2 Chapter 5 (where your game crashed) until the end of the run, that rate dropped by nearly half.
Keep in mind I am talking about the rate of success in which you get Max to perform the super jump itself. This is important, as you said, in Part 1 Chapter 7, the reason you failed the super jump 3 times in a row is because you were swapping from a one handed to another one handed weapon (I did not count such jumps in the overall tally of attempts.) Also, you failed to get through the trap door within the same chapter because your set-up was incorrect and even though you did get the super jumps, Max was too far to the right and not able to attain the full height to make it through the trap door.
Admittedly, as I stated in the beginning of the post, it IS possible that you were on a severe hot streak to attain that ~80% level of success. However, based on your non-existent history I have to lean on the side of caution.
I am happy to work with you if you decide to record another run using some type of input display, as you suggested. Lastly, I have tried to encourage people to run this game for quite some time, so please don't take it that I am picking on you or anything.
