its a mod for sadx currently only 2 mods are legal for speedruns these can be seen in the rules. anyway bk to the point the xinput fix mod fixes some controller issues.

I found a glitch that skips aincient light and monkey destruction for red mountain done in real time i will show it to you soon saves about 3 seconds
i mean if he wants. If i could find a way to get into casinopolis we could skip the light dash shoes exactly for sonics story, that would be GREAT, SAVE LIKE 30 SECS
Update I DID IT I CAN GET CASINOPOLIS WITHOUT LIGHT DASH!!!! DUDE THIS CATEGORY IS DEAD
Tbh skipping light dash shoes for casino isnt a new thing pretty sure gpro done it before
I know but he gets them afterwards, since we need them to get into red mountain, but now that ive skipped red mountain we dont need the light dash at all! Saving about 30 seconds if done correctly
Unfortunately what you have found is a way to softlock yourself. When you get to Red Mountain you need to destroy the cage with the Kiki in it otherwise the level trigger for Red Mountain is not there and you are stuck behind the closed gate with no way to get back out except for reloading the story. If you can find a way to destroy the cage without the ancient light in a fast manner then that would be amazing but as it stands right now you need the ancient light.
Also you can skip the light dash shoes but you need to go into the sewers anyway to trigger the story progression flag otherwise you wont get the cutscene with the ice key dropping so you might as well grab the shoes while you are there. As far as I know you cannot get into Ice Cap as Sonic without the key.
Alright, let me break this down.
"for what i think, my hub movement is pretty good, i mean like an 8/10."
First of all, lose this mentality. With your PB, there is no way you have 8/10 hub movement, and the sooner you realise how high the optimisation ceiling is in this game, the sooner you'll stop gimping your own ability to improve.
"about asking to maybe make a steam only category like they have Gamecube, XBLA, Ect"
- Don't run Steam version
- If version-exclusive boards haven't been implemented thus far, they're not going to happen in future. I'm not entirely happy with the state of the boards as they are either, but they are the way they are, and the optimal platform for running is known and accessible. As Gpro said, just ask around the community for a download.
"I found a glitch that skips aincient light and monkey destruction for red mountain"
No, you didn't. As Argick already pointed out, certain conditions must be met in this game before it will let you progress the storyline. Destroying the Kiki is REQUIRED for Red Mountain to load, and sewers are required to get Sonic's Ice Stone.
The route of the runs are set out the way they are because years of routing have shown them to be the fastest available. We all know this game's physics engine is broken and that you can clip into virtually anywhere you want. Unfortunately, most of the time it doesn't work.
Now, as for what to do about this situation, actually interact with the community. SRcom Forums are not the place to go for help, as the community already has its own central hub, found here: https://discord.gg/VqkNCEe
It's beyond me why this wasn't posted here already. Join the server if you haven't already (Pretty sure I've seen you in there, but again can't remember you actually talking to anyone) and get the help you need from actual runners.
ok, yeah i agree with the guy above me this thread is a mess so , this thread has given me alot of help!!! thank you. because of this thread i can easily get a 20:XX Because, my 2 cycle egg hornet is consistent, and i can get sand hill clip down thank you all ESPECIALLY Gpro i know him and i have had our differences but he has been a help and i hope he realizes soon that ive been such a bitch and i hope he will forgive me. the community for this game is one of the best ones out there i would like to thank you ALL! see you when i get a pb. oh And thank you for showing me the discord!
GL On runs,

You may have noticed some very old runs being rejected. This is because we have decided to archive the leaderboards done prior to IGT becoming the main timing method. Prior to archiving, most of the runs prior to April 22, 2018 were at the bottom of the leaderboards due to only having RTA timing, wh
