also, this was talked about before in the previous thread, but it's definitely been addressed by the higher skill-level players, i.e. AJ and such, where cheating patterns like the skeletor roll by having a higher rate is /not/ worth the speed trade off for the initial jumpstream section. In order to cheat the ending rolls, you'd need something like a 1.2x or so, but the jumpstream gets dumb, and even the roll gets stupidly fast, so it's still dumb. If you have the skill to AAA the file before the rolls on 1.2, then you're most likely already able to AAA the file on 1.0. This is just an example though

also choof has been giving stuff about mirror, arguably mirror makes many files much easier than rates would make them.
