Also the mods know what they are doing. Trust them.
@itsryan212 VRplaYK just happened to be the one that verified. The mods and verifiers had been talking about this run for days. The verifying of the run was meant to happen and coordinated.
I believe all 3 mods are allowed. Those mods being: Sodium, Lithium, and Phosphor
His specs are not the greatest. Ryzen 5 2600. He could definitely optimize obs in order to get 60 fps recording and less lag in game but it is what it is.
It hurts so much to see a friend go through this much just because of his luck. His insane luck turned out to be the most unlucky thing to happen to him. He got humiliated on stream by the mods and then told that the run is actually on review. That shit hurts dude... There is no logical reason why he would throw away he 1.14 world record because he wanted 1.16 as well. I know korb is not an idiot. He wouldn't throw away his speedrunning career just for that.
If it wasn't clear WHY it isnt allowed, it gives an advantage to the player.
I'm one of the runners in the video. We already have a discord with 20 people in it and its been less than 24 hours. There's a good possibility that this community can grow into something much more.
one cycling is difficult though, so lots of practice is required. There are practice maps in #resources-public on the discord.
many of the techniques used to beat the dragon like crystals and one cycling are extremely difficult for a beginner to do. I recommend doing some category extensions. Perhaps doing random seed glitchless if you want a challenge.
The rule only applies to top 5 runs in the any% rsg categories. There have been many splicers trying to get on the leaderboards and we cannot allow that. It is temporary until a better solution is found.
Check the category extensions page. The seed, version, and rules are all there and provided for you.
Yes, you can respawn and continue. Most speedrunners when they die automatically reset after dying. Dying in a speedrun can be a huge time loss. If you're looking just to get a personal best and that's it, don't worry about dying.
