THIS IS FOR THE VR CATEGORY OF STUNT RUNNER.

I've been meaning to ask about this for months now, and now I feel that we absolutely have to talk about it now.

With the current state of the in game leaderboards for stunt runner, I have always considered the speedrun.com leaderboards to be the true leaderboard to stunt runner. But in the past, there have been a lot of patches to the game that have made some times virtually impossible to get.

This is making me consider if we should have an archive of all times on the stunt runner leaderboard. (Which we should). Because with the current strategies that have not been patched, the best top level time we can get is currently a 3:34. But the problem is that every top run is under this and can no longer be beaten. This is because rec room patched 3 main things that add up to over 19 seconds of time loss without them. (Notice how the last runs that were under 3:30 were published a year and a half ago when most these strategies were still doable).

EXAMPLES OF PATCHES:

(The Insane Old Sliding Physics [Throughout The Whole Game]). Pretty much the only reason Dr Poverty was able to get 3:25 with very outdated strategies was because back in the day the sliding mechanics would allow you to go way faster and farther when sliding. But rec room changes sliding physics a long while ago. This has amounted to a total of 5-7 seconds of time loss throughout the current runs. All because we can't slide the same. This has currently made anything below 3:30 near impossible to get. (Before the other things that I am about to list)

(The Insane Momentum Gain On The Tube Slide With The Red SemiCircle [Course 5]). Rec room patched some dash mechanics on the slide making it impossible to keep insane speeds after you are done with the slide. This patch causes us to loose around 3-4 more seconds of time.

All of these patches have made it so that literally anything below 3:35 is basically impossible to get. I hope that anyone that has power sees this and realizes that it is probably time to archive current stunt runner times so that we can have a better leaderboard. Because this is one of my favorite games in rec room to speedrun, and I genuinely care for the future of stunt runners speedrunning community. Thanks for reading all the way through.
