@ViviBloom Would a pre-setup like this, that changes the spawn location be allowed in speedruns?

Currently, in update 2.1 Egzekiel has made a nerf to some skips in the game, he has changed slopes to 85. This causes the climb to Green skip to be significantly more difficult compared to update 2, this means getting the same speeds in 2.1 as update 2 is nearly impossible. Along with this Cyan rail skip has been made harder as well, although Egzekiel has not said what he did. Another problem is the warning message for picking up the emeralds in PvP has broke and no longer displays on screen.

just a thought but I was thinking a pvp abilities on category could be good, You would start with no emeralds and have pvp on before you start the run. You can be sure you collected the emeralds if you hit the trigger that displays the message preventing you from picking up the emeralds. The run would end just as the All Emeralds%, collecting the 7th and last emerald. Adding this as a category could add some needed variety to this games speedruns hopefully attracting more people to run the game.

Hurts to see nobody speedrunning fix update 2 like fix update 1 and before it. Trying to have some competition to have some fun, hopefully people starting speedrunning this game again.

After the update to forest and desert area of the map it is pretty much impossible to get the same times as you used to. All older runs need to be invalid to the current version on the game.
