So, I recently took a hiatus from mcbe speedrunning as a result of lack of interest and demotivation. I was still closely following the community, although I was not doing runs myself. After discussing with a few friends in the community, I have decided to start up mcbe speedrunning again. My favorite category is ssg mobile, but I’m not very confident that I can be competitive in it on 1.16.201. I have decided I will still run the category even if I’m not competitive in it, but I wanted to ask you all your opinions on a question I have. Can a 1.16.201 runner compete with pre 1.16.100 runners in this category? My thoughts are, yes but it will take more rng to get a good run. Thank you all for reading through this long post.

just use dream data pack ez

You can compete but you will have to put in 10 times more time than anyone on pre 1.16.100. It’s basically just highly time consuming by comparison but technically you can still do the same route (but it’ll never happen, trust me I’ve been running 1.16.100 for months)

idk ive been trying mobile but never got past the trades on ssg

Just to clarify, I’m not going for wr. Just going for pb.

yeah itll still be hardd

Ummm you can’t get the same RNG as pre .100 players, they can get 8 pearls per trade and the max on .201 is 4 meaning that even with perfect RNG, it takes twice as long.
