Categorizing With and without auto-aim ?

Rhône-Alpes, France

Hello !

I'm and old player of that game and as a tribute I wish to make a speedrun : coz career mode is pretty long without break , specially in gode mode as each match in nervously intense. It's kinda a challenge even If I was surprised to do it twice without much trouble.

I remember how hard it was versus Malcom for the final of 2003 's tournament (but I was 15yo younger :D) whereas on this one i did a perfect vs Xan.

Anyways, I was very surprised of Cobalt's time , MappleSeed2 also is impressive : everything under 5h is a very nice performance for me, even If I can improve by 1 hour around, I can't make it under 7 hours. BUT : as many people spotted, Mappleseed 2 was using auto-aim : which isn't forbidden I guess as it is an official in-game setting.

So I watched Cobaltz's run and there's no hesitation to say he's also using an assist (watch his video at 1m40 : w flack cannon shoots going far right from dot) : which doesn't occurs without assist : all you shoots come right at your crosshair / dot, even if you move your camera fast. He miss some shot but I guess it's not like aimbots, it's not 100% accurate (it's kinda the same as on console with Call Of Duty auto-aim in multiplayer).

And in 3h22 it's still a nice performance and the player knows how to move pretty well.

And as a veteran player, like many other I was kinda disappointed (not to say i stopped watched it after 1 min) because playing this game with an assist, is like driving a Tesla on automatic mode and claiming U did it all by yourself :p These are hardcore games but you don't prove your aiming skill this way.

That's why I'm requesting this :what if we seperate with and without assist mode runs ?

I've already done 2 runs but I need to find a way to win times : I have credits issue, even when I win all tournaments rounds I can find myself in bankrupt... And I'm stuck having to wait till the end of stopwatch in some bombingrun maps (20 min..) I can score but can't reach winning limit points.

Anyways, I'll perform soon (mid of january) and post it here, at least I'll be 3rd :p Too bad there's not many challengers but I don't aim top places, it's a tribute at start. And I'll prove you can finish godlike mode without auto-aim (recording my folder, my 2 system files of that game, right-click and showing path of the .exe to prove I use this folder, then showing in-game setting I don't use autoaim).

Thanks for reading me !

Auto-aim is bad in Bombing Run. It distorts the trajectory of the thrown ball.

I didn't use auto-aim at all ; but I dunno how to reach limit score on the 2 or 3 last map : under snow, in gravitational sky scrappers and on the very last in stadium (which is a bit easier). I can score a few but not much.

I did a Novice speedrun yesterday, 2h58 :x

If needed, I can make it a variable that is tracked. I will need a list of runs that use it and a list of runs that don't. I find it difficult to spot which ones do and which ones don't.
