Hi im new to speedrunning and ive been trying to speedrun flood escape, with the All Difficulties Items+ category. Im aiming to surpass the number one spot but since the gravity coil got nerfed this seems impossible. The gravity coil is not as floaty as it was before and thus it takes more time to complete levels. For item dependent categories I think there should be Old Gravity Coil, runs that included the old GC physics, and New Gravity Coil, basically runs that are completed with todays newer updates.
This update took effect a while ago, where the gravity coil no longer gets affected by hat weight. At this point, it's basically a dead category.
Since more and more players are starting to optimize the boards, wall hops are now allowed. However, lagging your game to do tricks like lag high jumps, or any sort of clipping will stay banned.
