| The point of segmented runs... | |

In Response To: Re: Lol Wu. (davidfuchs) : I tend to feel like segmenting is "cheating" in that it's : optimizing the hell out of things and ignoring very real time in the : "fails", as you say, but he's definitely got some sweet : execution. The fact that it's segmented just diminishes the really cool : parts for me, though--it's the difference between watching a stunt live or : taped. Sure, both took a lot of work, but so much more could go wrong when : situations aren't controlled. ...is not the same as a normal speed run. It's more for entertainment to show what is technically possible. It's not official or anything, it's just saying how fast something CAN be done. It's a lot like Tool-Assisted Speedruns. One-shot runs are definitely more difficult and more impressive, but segmented runs aren't "cheating".
