(Read this first!) Configurations before running Momodora 3

Runs of the game are typically done on version 1.06. Sadly Steam no longer offers a friendly way to get this. Refer to the following document to download older versions of the game with your Steam account:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TuCir2PQrw8ts7Mv824D6iKJbMsl6F_Yrnd8ZO3VWI4

The most significant change is that the final boss takes noticeably less hits to kill in older versions.

-----
Momodora 3 runs in 60 fps. Therefore please record and submit videos in 60 fps.
30 fps recordings are discouraged but can be accepted if you cannot record in 60 fps.
 
-----
Due to how every room transition can differ in loading times across PCs, it's highly recommended that you time your runs using the auto splitter for LiveSplit, recording and displaying both [Real Time] and [Game Time] (this is without loads).

https://livesplit.org/downloads/

Follow the directions here. No need to download the auto splitter file.

-----
Pause Jumping is done by rapid firing pause as you're jumping upward. The pausing skips gravity calculations, allowing you to jump higher.
 
This is typically done by holding pause on keyboard. For this method, set [Repeat delay] and [Repeat rate] in [Keyboard Properties] of the Control Panel to fastest.

-----
If you're playing on controller and prefer to not use a keyboard to Pause Jump, or if your default keyboard input causes you to jump much higher than accepted, you may instead use a program to rebind a button to autofire pause. If you use this, please detail the program's name and its settings in your submission. The settings of the program should attempt to replicate a standard case of holding pause on keyboard as close as possible.

It's recommended to use JoyToKey with an autorepeat of 16 times per second and a start delay of 233 milliseconds, without toggle.

Pause Jumping Details

Pause Jumping is done by rapidly inputting pause as you're jumping upward. The pausing skips gravity calculations, allowing you to jump higher. The pause autofire is typically done by holding pause on keyboard.

A controversial issue of Momodora 3 speedrunning is that Pause Jumping is not a consistent trick, especially across PCs. In extreme cases, some people are able to jump much higher than others and perform skips that are otherwise impossible for others. The current rules ban such skips and permit only those that most, if not everyone, can perform.
A significant example of this is Prim Doralina's fight. Usually it's possible to skip her fight by Pause Jumping to the lower gap on the left. However, it's possible and faster for those with a much higher Pause Jump to leave via the right gap that was entered from.

To provide some measure, a fully held normal jump can consistently raise you by roughly 2 tiles of height, or more precisely 35 units when observed in Cheat Engine. Pause Jumping on the other hand actually isn't consistent but typically allows you to more or less double this height gain, with precise heights ranging as far as from 62 to 82 units (note: this is not to be a strict limit of what Pause Jumps should be, but rather a loose reference of what it could be).

It's also important to consider the amount of time it takes to perform a pause jump. Simply put, Pause Jumping commonly starts with a delay of 233 milliseconds after the first pause input. Afterwards, pauses are usually inputted on every other frame.

The following image details what happens during one case of a Pause Jump frame by frame. Note that this was observed from a 60 fps recording as opposed to the game itself.

Frame 52 is notable in that the next pause input was conducted immediately afterwards as opposed to waiting one more frame. This typically occurs once per Pause Jump.

With JoyToKey set to an autorepeat of 16 times per second and a start delay of 233 milliseconds, this typically occurs 3 times per Pause Jump, resulting in a slightly higher height. Antimicro has yielded me worse results with ~5 times per Pause Jump at best.
