| Martyste Tendertail | I wonder if it's any good on console tho. |
| Martyste Tendertail | Since you know, you can't really beef up/down framerate on them |
| Failentin | Yeah, he discovered it on Gamecube, so it works there at least |
| Martyste Tendertail | Aight. Cuz I got a feeling console runs are so slow to begin with, I guess a skip like that on GC and PS2 would sound acceptable. |
| Martyste Tendertail | And if it works on Romastered I'd say it's literally free with the crappy performance |
| Failentin | that's what I thought, too, but it's strange: One day I had no trouble with the glitch in Romastered at all, the next day I could barely pull it off anymore |
| schmeling65 | interessting. That way we are comming back to the point where FPS can change a game which I was talking about already about other games as well. |
| Martyste Tendertail | Yeah, just like how some speedrunners abuse the N64's framerate to sometimes clip through walls. |
| Animan8000 | Reminds me now kinda on another game on speedrun.com where they use a tool to make the game lag temporary for several big timesaves. But I doubt this would be allowed here with the game rules? Making such a tool for XXL might not be too difficult, at least I have an idea (which pauses the game's process temporary to create that lag) |
| Failentin | I wouldn't like that personally :/ Any% speedruns should work without relying on tools imo |
| Animan8000 | Fair enough. Yea the other game I am talking about is also a PC game but requires a bit of a good PC, so people with a bad PC could technically do the lag tricks "accidentally" (even if not consistent). I am not too active in that other community but perhaps they thought if some people have a bad PC anyway, they may just allow their lagging tool (I might be wrong about that) for everyone |
| Animan8000 | Original XXL on the other hand seems very resource friendly and works on a potato |
| Animan8000 | At the same time it makes me a lil bit curious if XXL has more interesting lag related mechanics or tricks |
| Stinkek | That would be a cheat, and cheats are forbidden in all categories except Potion% |

| Animan8000 | Doesn't the potion get canceled in the room right before or is that where "the lag" needs to kick in to bypass that? |
| Animan8000 | Was messing around in my freetime lil bit how the game behaves and despite some lag, the previous room did continue to remove the potion |
| Animan8000 | aside that I was having walking speed during hitting or the camera perspective changing weirdly when moving, while testing |
| Martyste Tendertail | i never tested or watched myself that potion removal skip |
| Martyste Tendertail | i'm just reading here and there what people been discussin |
