Topic	Why do people always fight about glitched speedruns?
LinkPizza 08/25/19 3:15:42 PM #21:	final_lap posted... If you're speedrunning then aren't you already not playing the game as the developers intended? Unless the game displays you final playtime at the end or has rewards for beating it faster, it could be said that you were never meant to rush through it. I dunno guys. The "the way the developer intended" argument just seems like it extend to all sorts of things besides glitches, such as using invincibility frames to avoid taking damage from worse attacks, or a whole slew of other things. Might as well ban sequence breaking in general, the phrase itself implies that the devs had a specific sequence in mind and you've went against their intent by doing things in the wrong order. (And doing so knowingly) I think this starts going into what is a glitch. Like, I would say using invincibility frames is a glitch. Most give you that so you are constantly taking damage. One game even lets you level up your invincibility frames, so it last longer, which could help, as an example... ChaoticKnuckles posted... LinkPizza posted... hypnox posted... Personally, I think a speed run of a game is to play it as the creators intended. I actually agree, tbh... Never been a big fan of glitch speed runs... Then again, Im not a fan of speed runs, so... Agreed. But as long as theyre in separate categories when it comes to records, Im fine with them. I care a lot less about a glitched speed run record though if Im being honest. Yeah. I think thats the important part. Making them separate categories... Mead posted... Yeah from what I know glitches are the norm in speedruns Like everyone always does the glitch in SOTN to keep your good gear at the beginning of the game Ive heard both. But Ive always heard them referred to as different things... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
