Taunts give you special attacks instantly and makes the game kinda repetitive since the special attack would be the best way to kill some enemies in Gnarly mode. A run with no taunts would make the run more interesting. The player must be careful to not get hit so he can build up his special gauge

Thank you! I'm also planning on running MegaMan X, but I wanna run GPW 2 first

Just a simple brazilian person that always loved watching speedruns but never had the courage to start practicing any game, cuz I thought I would fail and give up. Last week I decided to finally put one step ahead and started playing Grand Poo World 2, since I loved watching people running this game and its soundtracks, but I never played any Kaizo game lol. Just passed through stage 1. So yeah... Forums never went my thing, but I'm here also looking for incentives to keep going hahahah Thank you for your attention! :)
