Watching rom's WR, it looks like he just accesses the save room four times and then leaves, but that doesn't seem to work for me.

What's the trick here? Does the old Heart Refresh trick still work?

Is aim assist allowed in runs? And if so, is it even helpful?

I ask because I've seen some people's PBs and it felt to me like part of the movement was... artificial? Like different from when I've seen some people playing live.

I looked around, and the only thing I could find was someone asking how to disable it. The rules don't mention anything. And one of the guide videos posted, you can see in the options that the dude has it on.

If it is legal, does it actually feel helpful? Like, would it help me get stuns on zombies/ivys?

I came here to check and see if anyone had made any progress on RNG seeds for console, and my run (and any other emulator run) seems to have been removed with no explanation.

What gives?

In the better runs, they do a jump into the wall to clip down, instead of getting shot by that soldier.

I want to learn that. In Guides there's a video on it, but the explanation doesn't really do it for me. I try to wall jump off there and it doesn't really do anything.

What is it that you have to do to clip there?

When I was doing runs on emulator, someone told me that the visual cue for getting Mark in the upper right cabin on the lake was just as soon as you see pink after the knife hits the mask on the title screen.

That worked, and it wasn't perfect, but I'd still get it frequently enough to attempt runs.

I ordered an Everdrive so I could play on console and chase WR (since I'm in Japan, and this is the only option to play on Famicom outside of a converter) and the visual cue appears to be different. None of the RNG I'm used to seeing is showing up and I haven't gotten the optimal RNG a single time. It's driving me nuts.

Is there any footage out there showing exactly what you're looking for on console?
