the in-game timer is used, not real time, which does exclude the grading scenes and some other stuff, yeah.
I'm just wondering if someone has gathered together any noise tech, like movement techniques. I see recent runs do some crazy acceleration off the walls. Also just think I could use some tips in general for regaining speed in some situations. But I don't see much in the speedrun wiki. There are some placeholders for routing info, which I'm also sure someone has written about somewhere. Right?
oh, the launch command is for the game. that's the part I didn't get.
how do I configure livesplit to use in game time? I set up the autosplitter in "edit layout" i found linked here (can't find the link again right now though). It says to use a launch option to use in game time but I don't know where to enter that
yes, the best way to do it is to hold UP on a d-pad or keyboard while navigating to exit level with something else. you can also do it by holding UP as soon as possible after selecting exit, but it's a lot easier to just be holding it already.
edit: make sure to KEEP holding up, I lost a couple runs because I didn't realize how long you had to hold it for it to work
I thought the bosses were free for low% because if you exit after grabbing the key you don't get a rank, which is why you can't do that in 100%. Do you get % for the rank you would have gotten anyway? I don't think so, right?
