Hey, Just watched some of the runs here. Awesome stuff. I thought I saw a decent amount of freeze burst used and when I googled that, the intrawebs said it was a cheat.
So I guess I'm wondering for this community, what counts as a move and what counts as a cheat? The following is a list of moves you can do just with a few button inputs without pausing the game. Are others besides the freeze burst allowed? Drop Mine Freeze Burst High Jump Infinite Weapons + Turbo Invincibility Mega Machine Gun Napalm Rear Attack Temporary Invisibility Temporary Shield
Mostly we just use the freeze. I think the justification for using it is that you can do it easily in-game with a simple button combo, it uses up your energy which is what the energy is there for, and the enemy cars all use freezes as well. Those criteria are pretty good rules of thumb but we can discuss it and decide for ourselves which moves we think are fair game and which aren't. What do you think?
The reason you can use Freeze Burst is in the manual. It's not a cheat.
Thanks phone for rotating the image.
Heck yeah manual.
Edit: I don't see the combo for the shield in there but I'd definitely say that's fair game. Is it only those three?
Ok, so Freeze Burst, High Jump and Rear Attack are all legal
I assume Infinite Weapons + Turbo, Invincibility and Mega Machine Gun are in no way allowed.
So what is the general feeling on drop mine, napalm, temporary invisibility and temporary shield.
Are any of these used in accepted runs already?
I had a guy come in my chat the other day while I was trying runs, and he is from a twisted metal survival community where they just try to beat the game without continuing and he said they use a lot of temporary shield combined with remote mines
I'd say any attack that uses energy isn't a cheat. Even says in the manual that there are more attacks than just those. Generally things like inf ammo don't use energy.
