he did stop and look to the video and know what he will do after and he did it to all medals....is this allowed https://www.speedrun.com/re2remake/run/yok3rx5z

Palestine

if this is allowed how you call it speedrun bro its not fair...i'm upset to how stupid this pausing is

Hesse, Germany

And why would you say this isnt fair?? You cant expect from a runner to memorize everything, the timer is IGT and upon pausing the game, the timer will stop, so its fair to look it up and its not like he took a 10min break, it was like 5-10 seconds.

Palestine

and he save 5-10 sec to the run so where this is leading to something not in the run...its something out of the speedrun how you can be fine with it

Palestine

like to pause the game to any thing out of the run like eat or drink or go to bathroom it's 100% fine but to stop and solve the puzzle like how this is fine to you @Mysterion_06_

Russia

People always paused the game to solve the medalions as fast as possible on NG+. Some people wanna do pause, some people not. If you wanna save maximum time, you can do it too 'cause it's allowed

Palestine

@SpeedIdol but why...i only need one convincing answer why this thing even allowed...just give me one reason!!!!

You're allowed to pause for up to 2 minutes. What is done with those 2 minutes is up to the runner. I don't see an issue with this because anyone who knows the medallions really well will finish the puzzle faster than someone who pauses

I know of other verified runs with pauses on the medallions. Its all good :)

Hesse, Germany

The thing is, what is so bad about the fact pausing the game? You wont gain or lose any time for pausing the game at the medalions or other places, I myself use a cheatsheet to know what medalion setup is used for what place. Just tell me one good reason, why it shouldnt be allowed lmao

Palestine

@Mysterion_06_ i will give you 5 reasons why it's not god to allow this pausing on the medals 1-you force the people to learn how to stop the game and look out to video to know how to do it fast...instead to make them learn how to speedrun. 2-when you have people 50% say yes and 50% say no it's better to avoid the subject. 3-its not fair to the pro speedrunners how they sweaty with something and you give someone another way to do it. 4-when you have WR like me and someone pausing and took it from you you will see the difference. 5-you cannot convince anyone to choose between pausing and not with honest opinion...he will blindly avoid that. my last word on this discussion it's a shame to allowed something like that in speedrun

@Mid7at with all the time spent disputing this, could you be practicing to better your run? I don't want this to come off the wrong way, just a thought provoking question

United States

Honestly, I don't really see a problem. As @Mysterion_06_ said: You're not gaining or losing time. The player is basically just doing the same thing as looking at a cheat-sheet. They would eventually memorize the solution to the point where they wouldn't need to pause anymore...However, nothing would change. If anything once memorized, the player would just be faster at inputting the solution.

Looking at both runs, @umedajapan was barely faster than you at the Lion Statue (Talking maybe half a second). You two were essentially the same on the Unicorn Statue. As for the Maiden Statue, you clearly messed up where as they didn't. Not trying to be rude or anything, but even in your submitted run you went off about losing time. They only beat you by what, three and a half seconds? Maybe you should practice the medallions? Maybe make up those "14 seconds" you lost? I don't know. Something to think about.

I will say that them pausing and bringing up another VOD that covers the initial gameplay is weird, but that's just me.

Pausing on medallions is allowed but the problem imo with this run is that the video player goes fullscreen, so its like we dont have game footage for that moment. Its lame but it is allowed. Tbh im kinda confused right now, werent u the guy who used macros for eletronic panels and stuff? https://i.imgur.com/C6PtEny.jpg

I personally don't like this category at all, but I don't think this pausing job should be allowed. in this way, others are encouraged to do the same. just a personal opinion.

@SirVoyaflex I will say that them pausing and bringing up another VOD that covers the initial gameplay is weird, but that's just me. bro you literally just felt it...that's what i feels also and about my run i know i lost 14 sec or maybe more and i will get it soon but the thing is why they allowed something like that in the first day

Palestine

@ialmeida777 by mentioning that i got banned for almost 1 year and they remove all my record and it was a bug so what you trying to say here why did you mention it??? i did progress after all and you still on the past

Paraná, Brazil

yeah i agree that people can change, but once u call that a "bug" i dont see this as progress. about the topic again, your only hope for people to change it, is if umeda or some other runner that does the pause strat gets NG LAS or CAS. i dont see that happening anytime soon cuz there are a lot of other strats to master for those 2 cats for this pause to carry it, but its ur only chance to get pauses banned.

Palestine

@ialmeida777 i only don't know why you act like this...like you talk about my past and you return to the topic if you don't like my progress i don't care...its hard for you to make your point without disrespect anyone

Mexico

This is non-sense, why would you start crying about something thats been allowed for almost a year? Just move on. If youre losing a ng+ record to Umeda only because of the medallion pause then you gotta improve a lot.
