Craftys "what" in the chat made me laugh xD just the utter confusion

I thought I was the only one who found that extremely funny until I read this buddy

Practice is also a factor as CJ isn't used to playing with cheats like these enabled, which affect the physics of the game. So while the route may be similar it's almost like he's playing a different game

It’s not cheating if you put it on accidentally

@@reeves0008 we using dream logic now

about half of the already short speedrun is cutscenes anyway : )

Plot twist: every run in every game is cheated 👀

Or just Mario Odyssey using a steering setup. For added difficulty, you can only turn if you use your 'indicators' first. I say added difficulty because it's a skill even drivers seem to have trouble with sometimes...

@@kitsterling8665 "I'm playing with a USB steering wheel man!"

While i think thats a dumb idea, i would totally see a way to do it, just bind different speeds to different analog axis values of the pedal

CALL IT CARIO

Pitch this to Doug Doug

The cutscenes take a damn long time lol. They make sense when you are designing them to be seen as a player explores the massive levels over the course of an entire long single player platformer. They make much less sense when you are treating the entire game like one single long, difficult time based mission.

I mean...arguably the biggest reason for that is that he didn't optimize the route for the cheats. A *huge* part of speedrunning is the routing. You don't really need to optimize mucu to get the most out of removing cutscenes. You do need to optimise quite a lot to get the best out of new techs.

Makes sense tbh - cutscenes are a static block that every run has to skip, and even if it's only a few frames each time, there are over a hundred required for the any% (I'd guess 150-200), and that really adds up.

Higher speed makes most of the required movement harder, not easier, as CJ clearly demonstrated

@@doomse150 exactly. I bet if you took the time to figure out a route, infinite jumping could probably beat the world record but there probably are points where following the any% path is quicker than just jumping there. 5x speed seems too hard to control to be truly practical. On the other hand, no cutscenes let’s you cut off ten minutes-ish with very little trade off.

Agreed, it is the least intrusive of the mods played, and it seems that skipping cutscenes made Nut clip harder and whatnot so there is a trade-off, even if a small one

Tbh i dont think it matters. If we assume, for example, that there is a total of 20 minutes from just cut scenes, that 20 minutes is just (part of) a baseline for how fast a theoretically perfect run can be. A cut scene doesn't slow anyone down. Everyone has that time added to their run by default.

@@boldandbrash1990 right, but why not save that 20 minutes?

@@boldandbrash1990 it slows down the tunner that has to waste 20 minutes of their life for a run

I feel like the strats would be different though for a no cutscene %. A handful of moons are avoided due to cut scenes associated with them causing them to take longer, but removing those cut scenes would make them more viable options for routing.

@@prosylan6368 depends on how you cheat, like say if mario is only slightly faster and you can make him gradually faster in various increments, not enough to get noticed right away, but enough to get a subtle "wait a minute, something's not right" going through people's brains

@@homerman76 well some people might say he's cheating for no reason
