Timing and resetting

Hi! I've been doing quite a lot of any% running for SUPERHOT lately with my current goal being sub-25. I was just wondering if you wish to reset on Kickstart because you did something dumb, do you still need to reset story progress or can you just jump back into SUPERHOT.EXE without the run being invalidated? The reset animation is nice and all, but it's just long enough to kind of get on my nerves, especially on the days when avarice supersedes common sense. Thanks!

At the moment, people have been loading superhot.exe after a reset, leaving the level without completing it and then starting a run, saving about 10 seconds. If you do mess up on kickstart, you can always back out and try again.

Good example is LT_Disco's WR run here http://www.speedrun.com/run/2yw6e23m

Great, thanks for the clarification! Time save AND not driving myself quite as crazy - WIN!

Spit-balling here.. would it be allowed to reset a run using the levels menu as long as we haven't hit a skip segment? like subway would be considered the cut off point imo. Just thought I would throw that idea around would make resetting alot when I spaghetti alley or drop lol... less aggravating.

¤edit¤ to clarify I mean reset at kick on level menu before you compete subway

It kinda seems to extend to jump as well. I quit on jump and reset to kick through the level select screen and it didn't skip the chat prompt after subway. Resetting like this on shots loaded straight into shots after exiting and loading superhot.exe

I would be a happy girl if this became accepted.

But hey, I accepted your run. Skips like that are a pretty cool part of this game, so if it's faster, go for it =)

There appears to be more of us than I expected. Very heartening to see and be accepted within the speedrunning community! <3

And, great! I'll be using level select if I mess up in the beginning from here on out. Now that I hit my sub-25 goal, I'll be inching my way as close to that sub-20 as I possibly can. XD
