is the title a joke or is this game really this buggy?

SDA takes fucking ages to verify runs (which is why it's now completely irrelevant) so I would
hope that any accepted runs are free of cheating.

I don't do any speedrunning, but what's wrong with SDA?

it's a huge shithole
i somewhat like it
but those fags that always complain about grindmonkeys and streammonsters can be annoying
sometimes but sometimes I just laugh at their misery

SDA has been falling out of favor in the speedrunning community for years. One of the reasons is
the shift in focus from VoDs to livestreaming. Also, as I mentioned, SDA's verification and
upload process takes forever. Many of the popular games trade records on a regular basis, meaning
that by the time a run is accepted and posted to SDA, it is likely to already have been beaten.
However, SDA has stated that it was never meant to be a collection of all speedrun WR, which
leaves the question of what exactly it wants to be. These days, most of SDA's functions have been
taken over by speedrun.com, and the only relevance SDA has is its forums (a bit) and the fact
that it runs the GDQ marathons.

Right. "No Cheating" doesn't actually mean being good and quickly playing the game, it just means
finding a way to break the game without having to resort to using external programs/hardware.
I'm sure to get shouted down on this, but frankly, for myself exploiting these kinds of glitches,
bugs, and errors isn't the same as actually "speedrunning" a game.
These fake speedrunners always defend thier actions by saying "It's HARD to pull off these
glitches perfectly. It takes so much skill and knowledge to do it right", but fuck that noise.
You aren't beating the game, because you're not playing it: You're abusing glitches and exploits
to avoid actually playing the game. When it comes down to it, you're not playing the game, you're
just fucking with the code, and it doesn't matter whether you gameshark it or not, it's exactly
the same.

Post invalidated. Congratulations, you're a fucking retard.
The any% WR holders make it look easy but a lot of this exploit stuff is stupidly hard to do.

Lucky for you that there's 100% categories, so we can both enjoy what we like. So fuck off faggot
and stop getting mad about me liking what you don't.

This is bait, but without glitches speedrunning would basically be dead. The discovery and
application of glitches allows for new routing developments in old games which keeps them fresh.
If we didn't have that factor and routes stayed basically the same throughout a game's history,
the majority of the viewers and runners would get bored and the community would stagnate.

Didn't knew about speedrun.com,it looks way better than SDA.

That's true. I find the routing way more interesting than the actual speedrunning anyway, because
a novel route gives you a fun new perspective on a game, and if it works, it is a clever
development. A WR run is just "wow someone pushed a lot of buttons in the correct order at the
correct times."
