People try to bend rules all the time and I was just trying to point out a flaw in the wording of the rules so that they could be fixed. It would minimize the number of illegitimate runs submitted by people who noticed the flaw and make the jobs of the moderators easier. Tons of runs are submitted, and tons of people are assholes.
all I was saying is that the rules could be a little more specific. I thought it was pretty clear that I was not trying to do it.
I want to upload smo to my youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMeU5ytAR-2Kj2yAlF3l8Xw) and I have no idea how to record playthroughs and stuff
And btw for everybody else I was saying I had not tested it or anything and was hoping it was not possible but thank you that is reassuring to know that the moderators have considered every possibility
Yeah I know Tech I was trying to test the legitimacy of the rules I would have removed it if it was accepted.
I have not tried speedrunning before and intend to just play smo casually. I am interested in it though, so I decided to check out the rules for an any percent. I noticed that it seemed like you could just save the game right before you hop on the electric wire at the end, and then exit the game, bringing you back to the main menu. The rules state that time starts on the file select screen, and end when you hop on the electric wire. Could you not just load it up to the point where you previously saved, and then hop on the wire giving yourself a time of just a couple seconds. I have not tried this myself, but I just wanted to put the thought out there. I hope this is fixed so that we have genuine runs, if it is counted as an any%. I have no idea if this has been brought up before though. Bye
