Default Re: The Speedrunning Thread

Oh I know it's the standard in that community. Just makes for really unimpressive marathon material to see someone literally resetting to an earlier point in the level when the actual time loss is so insignificant that back-up strats should be used instead. Imagine Zoast making a quicksave before going for the full-halfie in Super Metroid or Siglemic trying cannonless for five minutes because he has no back-ups lol. I suppose it's just an awful feature in old fps games that makes it great for practice but terrible for no-reset runs.
