Turbo Mode

So I noticed there was something going on with SMRPG and turbo mode, and I thought, i would start some discussion about MLSS
Should it be allowed for this game? I'm not an expert about SMRPG what I say could have even be changed by the time I finish this
I use SMRPG as a comparison because it is also a Mario RPG and the battles and main mechanics are similar

The main points that SMRPG had for this I read were not really to save time on Text Mashing, but rather to save hands
It would make the run more enjoyable, and would definitely improve the health of hands (For my experience at least)
Of course it would make, text go by faster
For MLSS, you do not only have to have to mash through text
Some parts of the game and cutscenes, you need to just mash for some reason
The opening cutscenes is an example, if you do not mash the whole time, you just lose 10 seconds
For MLSS, you only need 2 A presses to remove a text box, it isn't a set amount of time or scrolling
I'm not sure what the standard is for turbo but on the controller I have been using, it has different settings
I tested only the first 3 1/2 minutes which is the opening cutscenes, bowser fight, up to free movement
The highest setting, 20 (I assume inputs per second) saved about about 2 seconds
I can see this adding up throughout the run to be atleast a minute probably around 2 which is substantial in the Any% run
Of course there are different points of the game where amount of text is higher and lower so it might not be a set second:minute save
This was the main point that SMRPG used to allow this

There was a problem, that did raise an issue but was deemed not significant which was with the battles
You could have frame perfect item use, and menus within the battles
In SMRPG and most of the Mario RPGs however, timed attacks are important
So turbo couldn't be used for most attacks because, it would ruin attacks due to "strict" timing windows
Because many of the battles were timing based and relied on Super Jumps, it was too insignificant to matter much
This is a problem for MLSS though because, the final 3 battles consist of mashing in order to win
I have done some testing with my current item route and there is a few differences with the final fights
I haven't done anything with birdo, Bowletta stays the same, Cackletta 3 hits instead of 4
This isn't much imo, for cackletta the biggest thing is being able to survive
There is definitely a route that is faster where you get more items, to defeat all 3 a turn or full cycle early
Normally you need to be able to do at least 15 hits with chopper bros to be able to beat Cackletta
Obviously you can do much more with turbo
This is the biggest problem
Using turbo, I see an "optimized time" being under 1:10:00

For other battles, turbo is mostly a hinderance
The menuing in battles has some pretty strict timings in order to menu quickly
Just using turbo would actually be slower because it does not hit the right timing
You would get what I call "slow attacks" which are about 1/2 seconds loss for each one
For battle menus other than attacks (Bros. Attacks, Items) turbo also should not be used
With Bros. and regular attacks, turbo could make you miss the timed hits like in SMRPG
With items , the the d-pad/control stick is used more and there are none where you press A multiple times
Turbo could chose the wrong option or heal the wrong Bro
For menuing outside of battle, Turbo also would hurt the run for the same reasons

Through running this game for years, it is hard on my hands, especially the way I practiced to mash and get faster
For some reason I've seen some people mostly "noobs" talk about unfairness
People make jokes about how I'm OP because I mash pretty fast
Sometimes people jokingly talk about me like I'm some god with my fingers
This sometimes gives people expectations like I always just destroy bosses easily
I don't feel bad about anything as most people jokingly say this, but there are some bad memers in the bunch
Seems like a few people don't acknowledge what I've done with this game, and chalk up my times to mashing fast
I don't actually care about these guys, they says it's unfair for others which is pretty dumb
That being said, it would definitely boost other peoples times up,
there wouldn't be my time, then the next times 4-10 minutes slower
It would put everyone not on a fair playing field, but an even one
It would make everyone faster, which I don't think is a problem, because with new optimizations, theres new standards for what's "good"

Overall, I think turbo is a cool idea
I've ran this game for years. I'm a little bit biased because, yeah my hands hurt.
I also don't like having to mash text for like 50 minutes, out of a run thats an hour 15 minutes
My main problem with turbo is that it changes the final boss fights
The difficulty and mashing during the final fights is one of the most enjoyable things about the whole game, for viewers and runners
If there is a ruling that turbo was for text mashing only, I would be in favor for it
That's all mine thoughts for now.
