I congratulated you yesterday already and I personally don't care about this category, and you know that. We talked about that at length, in the past AND yesterday. That in mind, I'm ABSOLUTELY baffled what you said in your last paragraph, basically making me out to be the bad guy again that never congratulates anyone and only cares about something if someone else beat them, wtf.

I gave objective input on an important issue here, nothing else. Is it possible for once in this community that one can actually discuss this and nothing else without insinuating anything about the intentions anyone had or didn't have when bringing that up? Apparently not.

Whatever. Do what you want, but don't complain if this escalates from here into someone doing this and then someone suddenly pause buffering in speedruns. Do you want a low% WR that used the wrong warp to start on 1-4? We can have all that stuff, or we can avoid it because we draw the line early.

I don't really have anything else to say, really. The argument that it would have been faster than tea's previous record in this category, anyway, does not count, because it completely ignores the point of future competition - now anyone who wants to beat this time has to do cascading, or get a way faster run. I mentioned the BM as a general example for cascading helping, I know you didn't do it in that run, because I actually watched the run already before I wrote the first post.

One question - if you don't think cascading should be frowned upon, why is the first time I hear that opinion from you, and why was it NEVER stated in the past when we discussed this topic time and time again, pointing it out to new runners, etc. That's just inconsistent and oh too convenient to now suddenly say this.
