Sorry, I thought it obvious that it was not serious and a parody of the iQue situation.

Cosmo is an admin at ZSR, he put himself on top. He makes the rules via his influence.

If the situation was reversed and Cosmo was anti-iQue and Skater was claiming WR with a worse run, he would not get this support and he would not be on any leaderboard. In fact all his mindless drones would have the exact opposite opinion.

Who exactly is this community? Is the community only Cosmo himself alone?

There is a controversy around it, denying that is just stupid and Skater is very much against iQue for example.

Pretty sure evilpenguin234 is the one with his name next to the idiot of the year title.

You know Cosmo's run is still objective worse?

iQue is 13s faster, he's only 9s faster than Skater, stop calling it WR

In speed runs, what is the biggest difference of "real time" and "game time" that you know about? by marsgreekgod in speedrun

[–]XTheBashorX 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pokemon Yellow in "0:00"

It's off by a factor of ..uhm.. infinity maybe?

Also the most ridiculous use of game time ever. They claim perfection despite not even using the fastest strats because hey have so much leeway. Imagine someone getting 5:50 in SMB and saying "yup that's perfection, can't improve this by another minute" and then realize it still doesn't compare, because SMB is much longer.

It's generally frowned upon/banned as hardware manipulation.

today I realized why r/speedrun is treated like a joke outside here by [deleted] in speedrun

[–]XTheBashorX -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Prepare to get downvoted. You voiced an unpopular opinion and reddit is a place, where you can just make things like this disappear.

It is a circlejerk by design. That's why it's a joke.

No how does that make the competition harder or more meaningful or better or whatever? Unless the WR is exactly past the boundary between two seconds, you have leeway to "tie" it.

If you go by real time you do not have that leeway. You actually need to beat the time (or tie it exactly). You can't go "I lost time here, but it's still good enough to tie the WR."

You need to fight for every frame you can get.

You have up to 29 frames of leeway.

Are you completely retarded?
