yet another poll about stini, enigma, and bounce legitness

Post by anonymous32 »

let it here be determined if people really are in favor of future record-table legitness.

as a follow-up to "cancel stini's enigma wr?" topic --

note that such a revert has been done in the past (through the cause of cheating, though).

edit: just a sane and due movement towards a more professional and respectable topic title.

why do you care so much about Stini's record to be removed?
There were many discussions about it in the past. Nothing will change now. It's officially legit and it will stay like that.

I don't think it should be removed. It's hard to determine what's bug and what not. Stini's bounce looks max impossible in my eyes, but on the other hand, Thunder's bounce is even stronger and looks fine to me since I've got many bounces like that... Let it be as it is.

I respect all your answers. However, I thought it was granted that bounces were bugs.

Then why the focus on stini's enigma, why not ALL enigma wrs with bounces, all lab pro and bowling, all labyrinth, all hifly?

Because most bugs are legit.

See, I am not sure most people who voted were well-enough aware of the terminology to warrant their voting in the first place.

It might have been a mistake to treat this issue democratically. Consensus through intelligent and informed discussion might have been a better choice.

You must be trolling. You've come in here, attempted to insult our intelligence and yet countered your own argument more effectively than anyone else could all in one post. :D

Certain type of bounces are prone to bugs, these occur in bowling, enigma, hang tight to name a few. However, many type of bounces aren't bugs at all. Bounces for example in serpents tale or islands in the sky wouldn't be affected at all if the "bug" was fixed.

That being said enigma WR is a bug, but bugs have been accepted before that, like ramone hang tight WR from 2000. It was always up to the WR updater to decide what's a legit amount of velocity gained from a bounce. Stini's record was accepted by px and that's it, what we should discuss about are the unconfirmed bugs in enigma and possibly other levs.

This is precisely what I was talking about. I thought all kinds of bounces were bugs. Furthermore, I thought it was the consensus around here. I am baffled. (Seriously.)

All bounces were (fortunate) bugs in Across. In Elma however, Balazs deliberately did not remove bounces because of the great gameplay effects they gave, hence they should no longer be considered bugs. Likewise with the supervolt.
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

That, or the unintended (although fortunate) result springing from the common physical model from which both Across and Elma were built.

I get the point you are making, though. All might be a matter of perspective. It is hard for me to form an opinion considering what you are bringing.

isn't it possible to represent a bounce as an acceleration graph ? it would be interesting to see each rec's curve;

and maybe after many deliberations determine a value afterwhich a bounce is considered as a bug. or not.

well like sveinr implied, bug is an unintended feature, that's the very definition. Bounces were apparently intended for elma, but the ones that give wheel some weird reactions were not. It doesn't matter if that reaction is small or big, it's still a bug (even if it's weaker than "intended bounce"). Only reasonable fix for this is complete removal (of the bug from elma code (edit))

What about levels like Animal Farm, Shelf Life, Sink where wheels squeezes into small areas, isn't that the same as bug bug-bounce? Why should they be legit?

I suggest that what should be considered legit is what could be considered with technique "reproducible."

It must be kept in mind though that, to date, 70% of voters have considered the bounce as "illegit."

It would be nice if some of them could explain the reasons they have considered it as, let it be put that way, "flunking admissibility."

The fact remains that we've had this conversation ~10000 times in the past, getting less and less frequent as time as gone on, and here is how the polls have ended throughout time:

it's a bug, remove teh: 0 wins
it's a bug, leave teh: 9001 wins
it's no bug, fuck you bro: 999 wins

We can go ahead and throw definitions behind it, but if they decide on friday "lol the queen and her family actually has no royal blood at all roflcakes" they aren't going to chuck her out at the age of oldasfuck.

I get what you are meaning, Haruhi.

You may agree with me, though, that, at second glance, the real argument might simply be whether the bounce is to be considered legit or not. Furthermore, I believe it in fact is necessary to, as you are putting it, "throw definitions behind it." However, not necessarily to change the WR-table contents, as I above implied, but at least to move towards all being on the same wavelength.

Of course, the contents of that discussion still are to be determined. Mathematical modeling? I am hungry for it. Practical-reproducibility concerns? I am listening. (And so forth.)

Alright well, here:

On reproducability: The bounce is entirely reproducable.

On legitimacy: I personally think the replay is legitimate, but most people don't. However, i note here that Thunder's bounce had no bug in it, got a faster bounce and ended at 19.16 as well.

On mathematics: Maybe if there was a way of plotting the "speed" of a rec that eol reads, we could compare the speed gain on this bounce and on many other bounce recs, and perhaps set a limit as to the maximum instant gain in speed allowed before it became classed as a "bug." This might already be possible with elmanager or something similar.

enigma nonbug limit is around 19.4x, 19.5x and that's being 0.2 ahead of stini rec, assuming bugbounce was unintended and 'normal' bounce intended.

I don't think we should be looking at the pop. A bounce can be buggy without a visible pop. Math is the only way to decide on the legitness of bounces imo. Something like this: if speed is higher after bounce then before, it's buggy. Simple enough? If not, explain why that wouldn't be fair/accurate.

I recall that when mila was making the speedometer for eol he said it was impossible to make such accurate for replays.

Well one thing that people forget often is that Stinis bounce got much of its force on the alo he used there. That's what makes calculating much harder also, you should calculate the force added in volt.
