Actual any% Multiplayer
2 years ago
Bremen, Germany

Me and my cousin were speedrunning any% Multiplayer and after the run we took a look on the leaderboards and saw that the top players are just using 1 controller and someone who clicks a few times on the gamepad. i don't consider this method as "Multiplayer" so it would be nice if there were "any%+gamepad" and an actual "any% Multiplayer" category. The 1P + gamepad method makes no sense for me to call it Multiplayer because it's just one player actually playing the game

That is because the category was formerly known as "Any% Boost Mode" which is basically Any% that allows the use of boost mode with boost blocks. I've come very close multiple times to remove the category as a whole because I don't see how it differs much from the regular Any% run.

I would be in favor of having an actual co-op category but I'll see what other people say about that.

a variable category might be a solution for that. Like that https://prnt.sc/264btis ofc the category is not popular, but it solves the problem (idk how to set it up bc I never changed something on a leaderboard)

@Astix yeah that should be nice

We'll likely create a sub-category that keeps any% multiplayer, but also adds a new tab that allows Boost mode. Now the question is... do you guys want to add extra rules to any% Multiplayer like... "that one player cant stay for all the time in the bubble" Personally I think it would be boring if only one person stays 24/7 in the bubble. Ofc there is some pro and con to it. Like "bubbling is an in-game feature" but also "one player is doing all of the work"

A cooldown would be a good idea I think. Like one person only can stay for 15 or 20 IGTs (ingame-seconds) in the bubble at max

what do you think?

Doesnt boost mode allow for skipping autoscroller in 7-airship and also significant timesave in 5-t and making 7-t easier and of course elevator

I also think you could make small timesaves in 1-2 5-3 7-1 7-3 and 8-c

Its less about it not being different and more about it being unfun and its hard to get a second person or to do it by yourself

@Astix that idea is good but imagine there is one level who someone is incredibly bad and they die so many times that they spent 20 seconds in the bubble that wouldn't be that good it would be better if the average time counts
