Along with the memory flushing update, 1.1 is the optimal speedrunning version since it doesn't lag, but if we fall behind, then nobody will play the harder difficulties since it's not a fair fight.Ī way to implement this would either be variables, where we label all pre-1.1 versions accordingly and all post with 1.1.x and let runners set the version in their splits, or, if that doesn't/can't work (haven't tried it myself) sub categories are also fine. En outre, with the updates to MMS in (Insane) classic mode, it is now a lot harder, which would mean old versions are faster. There are seven mods as well, of which at least 3 are active, so it shouldn't be a hassle.
Or, if we make a category for each version, it gets so cluttered and hard to manage that it isn't worth the trouble. To non-speedrunners, this doesn't make any sense and also looks weird if we play on old versions just to save time. (Maybe 1.0.x and 1.1.x? There weren't a lot of gameplay changes between each 1.0 version, so it would make sense to group them together) The big problem with allowing all versions is that we could get 'stuck' on a version that has the best strats, but lags behind a lot with the new characters and content.
I suggest using variables and placing old versions as 'obsolete'.
