Hello Platform Racing 2ers
I think it would be nice if we had a little sheet that had some useful information on ideal stats/strategies when choosing stats for maps.
First | Stats ending in 5 are bad and should not be used (eg. 95, 85, 75 etc.) Believe it or not 86 speed = 94 speed. When you accelerate fully you have the same top speed so you do not need to waste 8 extra stat points for the same speed value.
Second | Optimize your jump values! nice easy ones like 54 jump cannot exceed a 5 block high wall (without glitching) so 54 jump can get you over a 4 block high wall but so can 45 jump so you can save 9 stat points there.
Third | Misconception** You can corner glitch anywhere!!! You're Next intended position needs to be more than 10 pixels vertically and horizontally into the block you are moving towards (this does include upward directions).
This is super important because being flexibile with your stats can help you set up a glitch that skips a large portion of a map without having TAS-like button pushing skills. @bi3liu
Fourth | Santa gives you +10 speed and it makes the block beneath you solid. Use that to your advantage.
Examples of Santa hat being awesome

To name a few examples
Fifth | Rank does not equal skill. A rank 50 player does not have a big advantage over someone who is rank 0. Just optimizing stats, map strategies, and practice it what makes good times. (Map strategies includes finding stats to use that make doing really hard glitches easy).
Feel free to add any of your own personal ideas for speedrunning or strategies you use!
