I wouldn't call anyone a dumbass, especially when you thought you could get away with this scheme, but were too inept or arrogant to conceal the evidence. Also wouldn't call out anyone's mashing ability when you need some device to compete with actual skilled speedrunners. Your actions say more about your intelligence compared to the intelligence of any of the people calling you out. You found a mod that has the perceptive capabilities of Mr. Magoo, and tried to get over ​on him and the entire community. You are so smart, perhaps you can tell your local MENSA office and they will accept that as a qualification for membership. Next time try taking responsibility for your actions, instead of playing the victim and deflecting blame.

Want to start off by saying I respect your ingenuity and talent at finding a loophole to exploit. A+ on that front. Unfortunately on execution I would firmly rate this as a F. At this point if you are going to use some novel, experimental controller to give yourself an unfair advantage, why not just go as far to use AI to generate a submission video? This is completely unsporting, and is anathema to the concept of speedrunning which values optimization and dedication over clever tricks and gotchas. This is an affront to the hardworking runners across the entire community, their hours and days of effort and sacrifice mean nothing when someone can use an instrument that completely removes the human element from the equation, eschewing operating within strict rules and parameters that keep the playing field fair. If it belongs anywhere, it should be firmly relegated to its own special meme category which was enabled by its own Icarian ambitions, and now your wings are dripping from the heat. The run should be removed on that basis, and the mods should apologize for their lack of professional and speedrunning acumen to even approve such an abomination like this.​​​

Congratulations on your world record run! Now I know to headbutt the birds in stage 2 lol.

I see the mods are active on SRC, and still not approving runs. Submitting a ticket now if there are at least two of us waiting.

Hello, I submitted a run a month ago and it still hasn't been approved. If someone can approve it when they get a chance I would appreciate it, thank you.

Thank you Aaron T! I'm going to keep at it, the game has grown on me now that I understand the controls a little more.

Meant to say sub 18, not sub 17 in the description. Sorry for any confusion.
