I'll let the video speak for itself. Good times.

I wasn't entirely serious, although I do have to say it is far more entertaining than Last Man on Earth, at least. If anything serious were to be changed on the leaderboards it would be nice to have a difficulty column so Expert-only runs could exist (not a new category, a column same as version number), but that is probably another conversation I'm trailing off on now.

This was definitely worth the go, it really is something very different once you try it... I am wondering if it might even improve reaction time after a while because let me tell you, normal time feels like slow motion after playing like this for a while!

Technically, it's a cheated run so... OpieOP

In my heart it will always be legitimate. :(

[quote=FoggyTV]But in my opinion to this 2x speed category, It would be nice to have this as a category but I feel it is just unnecessary to add because any person casual player can do this and it just defeats the purpose of what a speedrun is.[/quote]

Well, I mean, plenty of games create categories out of rules the community makes up because it adds another interesting layer of replayability. That exists here already with Last Man on Earth, or even the solo category in a game meant to be run co-op. Look at Super Mario 64 as well, they have all the way down to a 0-star category just to utilize some weird and difficult glitches.

If anything, running it like this is magnifying skill a lot more than running the game normally. Every single common is very dangerous now since it is so difficult to react to them, and that isn't even considering the specials yet. Every trick is harder, every bit of movement more difficult to be precise with because overcompensating is much easier. Of course, I never really intended to actually get this as a category. We were really just trying it for fun, but it's still interesting to discuss. Speaking of trying things for fun...

Sequel to the first video, we did a Main Campaigns run like this! We cheated a little in Atrium. Just a little bit. The rest was all legit, though. The run ended up around 45 minutes. Next time.... 3x speed!?!?

i think this category mean no sense in my opinion

Guys. Really. I was not entirely serious when I made this thread. It was just for funsies.

You guys are jerks.

...although joking aside, when categories like LMOE and a blatant cheat mod still exist, I could see why this was taken seriously. :)

Minor rule changes/clarifications

Hey everyone, some minor changes to the rules - solely to clarify things/change wording, no rules actually "changed" (at least not in any way that will be relevant to 99.9% of people):
