Re: Last-minute CE speed run record

In Response To: Re: Last-minute CE speed run record (davidfuchs)

: From my recollection of CE speed runs I don't think it's a common practice,
: or if it is it might be unintentional. Is jumping slower than just running
: forward?

I can't remember if I ever tested that, but I suspect it's not. And actually, when I took a brief look at the start of a recent 343 GS run by GarishGoblin, he was jumping at the start, which I didn't see the use of (there was no checkpoint to delay), so I thought maybe it was just for fun.

Hold on though. Watching again, it looks like he eventually is doing some strategic checkpoint delaying. Near the entrance, the covie spawning checkpoint gets delayed, and it looks like he deliberately arranges to get it just before doing something tricky at the lift. However, in that case maybe he just didn't realize where the checkpoint was triggered, and was just in the habit of jumping from the start?
