So, I was asken to explain what's going on on my WR for the Challenge Mode "Any%" category

On Lethal League's 2nd anniversary, Team Reptile released version 1.0.14.5 of the game, At the time I think I was able to find a log file about the update, but now it's kinda lost,

The important thing about it is that it implemented a bug that was acknowledged by the devs almoust immediatly as it came out: http://imgur.com/a/Lwb28

The bug was that when the ball was parried, regardless if it hit anyone or not, the ball speed would increace to a ridiculous amount,

I'll try to upload the files of that update here in the "Resources" page, considering the devs just downgraded the game back to 1.0.14.4 to solve this issue, if anyone is interested in speedrunning the game with that.

From studying the values and speaking with diferent people that play the game it was found out that somewhere in the game's code this function would define the ball speed when parried:

[EDIT]

upon further study, the fuction that returns the speed of the ball after parried is:

(ballspeed+3) ¤ 2^16, if answer is >= (2^31¤7) subtract 2^35 else, if answer is >= (2^31¤5) subtract 2^34 else, if answer is >= (2^31¤3) subtract 2^33 else, if answer is >= 2^31 subtract 2^32

if negative value set to [stage default speed] else, if value >= 1000000 set to 1000000

Now, it makes me belive even more that this is deliberate...
