Yeah exactly. SUPER impractical without auto-splitter lol.

As far as controllers, I hope we never reach a point where B0xx style controllers aren't allowed. There are a lot of people with wrist and hand problems who can only use that style of controller. Accessibility and all that. Plus some of the creators of those controllers have built nerfs into them to try to move towards controller parity.

We're not there yet, but players I know are saying some targeted "buffs" to UCF would get us to real controller parity.

Just 2 cents I'm chiming in here about separating the consoles and emulators into categories due to loading times:

For a lot of PC game speed runs, the communities around some games will subtract loading screens from the final times in order to even the playing field.

It can be a pain, but some people do it lol

Hope this happens. Yo H-Box, hit my DMs on Twitter! Trying to film some dope content :)
