Honestly the community is so small that the game rules are still basically TBC. I guess it would come down to whether changing the FPS gives an advantage. I'd say just do whatever you like for now and submit whatever, and maybe if this game becomes more competitive, then we'd sort out some stricter rules.
@HoonGoons Spam for real?? On PS3 if you try to press it too early you car breaks down, which means you can't spam it. Also I don't know about vita, but on PS3 you can press the home button while you wait for the countdown to finish, and the game will pause on the first frame after the countdown has finished. You can then resume the game and get a frame perfect boost.
lmao only just saw this somehow. Yup no stress! I think the current categories are great now. It's possible to do glitchy time trials, so maybe in the future we could add glitchey time trials as a category for IL runs, but in the mean time, seeing as no one is running them, there's not much point (unless we get more players)

These are from the Modnation discord (which is different and much larger than the Modnation speedrunning discord) You can find the bigger Modnation discord via their subreddit
Now that we've discovered a bunch of shortcuts, we'll need to discuss which ones are banned in the "no lap skip" category. Check out these 2 videos: both speedrun strats for the track "Breakwater". My strategy completes 3 laps, but cuts out most of track. Fanjo's strategy straight up skips the laps by crashing into the same wall 3 times. Should we ban both, or just Fanjo's?
Alternatively we change the category to "no skips" and ignore this conversation lol
Just realised I didn't post the playlist properly! Here it is in full https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo5y8L4cluofnZqlbywFkFguKs1Kr9POB
Here's an unlisted playlist of glitches I've come across, and also just archived sessions of me pissing about and discovering weird oddities in the game. Thought this was probably the best place to leave it.
When I find the time I'll whip up an any% and 100% run using some of the weird techniques (the flying glitch in particular already has HEAPS of applications in 100%) but it might not come about for a few months
Dum idea: LBP2 Cakinator% Use create glitches to attach cakinator to yourself Beat every level with the Cakinator
alterative categories: LPB1 jetpack% LPB2 grapple% LPB2 grabinators% etc.
