Another issue is that HB are notorious for shadow patches which makes it difficult to even know when gameplay changes that could affect runs happen. The red fast nerf and later buff from last year are other examples of changes that made differences for speedruns on pro/legend.
Hello, I've started running this game recently and was wondering what the community thoughts are on using the exploit where you move the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen in order to ensure the swing plane is reliably kept on a straight line. I was attempting ILs using this but wasn't sure if it is allowed. I didn't see a rule regarding this but it seems it isn't done in current runs.
On the beginner difficulty this isn't necessarily that helpful as the perfect swing plane zone is fairly wide on that setting, but it can improve consistency on higher difficulties significantly. It would also be a PC only exploit.
