I just thought I would mention that some runs are it seems influenced by lag.

I noticed that in Masterlol's glitchless level 4, he shoots off the start and is at the first boost about 0.8s ahead of the other runs. He then maxes at 32 whereas the other runs max at about double that. Despite that, his time is almost 1s up. His ghost also beats him but his time shows as an improvement.

I am not for a second suggesting the run is cheated as it is clear from the video that it isn't, and it's great to see you join in Masterlol. I just think that there was a bit of a glitch it seems probably resulting from lag, which we know affects the times, and thought I would flag it up and see whether people think laggy runs might be better in any%?

Incidentally, I am bottom in that IL, so this isn't me trying to win by default.

I highly agree with this. After CantConnect discovered the lag glitch he used in any%, it seems to be usable without been noticed. At least not if you put heaps of time into checking it. As some devices can slow down while recording, I really don't know how it is possible to check whether runs truely are glitchless or not..

I am a personal friend of MasterLol, and he used some sort of ultra-power saver on his phone while he was doing the run, and it was slowing down the device. He did not use it on purpose, and he did not notice the FPS drop until 1 day later.

Thanks Viktoracri. For the avoidance of doubt, I certainly don't accuse Masterlol of deliberately lag-glitching and it is easy to get lag inadvertently.

I also agree that the lag is often not obvious on a watch-through so the mods can't be expected to pick it up at the verification stage.

@drgrumble @MrVirusYT I completely agree with you and I think MasterLoL69 record should have been deleted because he uses lag effect and he exited at 31 max speed on first boost while others did 50++ max speed.
