Resident Evil 5 - Speed Run 1:33:44 Amateur - Chapter 1-1 Part 1

I also would like to clerify that I meant to say that you are 180% right. So my apologies for the misunderstanding, you understand what a speed run for this game and this genre are all about.

I think the same, they didn't think it out when you can go back to a single level fix your errors and it affects your overall, when its not in the same setting, I've been REing it up since I can't even remember, the only way to do a RE game is Beginning to End none stop using skill and a little to no glitches what-so-ever.

tl;dr version, leaderboard running on Professional isn't any more skillful from playing Amateur. The game is a joke to speedrun, unless you're playing from a fresh game starting with absolutely nothing. THEN there is a difference between difficulty levels.

Capcom didn't think the leaderboard system out very clearly.

I mean the difference between difficulty levels if you're using infinite weapons. If you want the optimal time in ANY difficulty, the idea is to avoid damage. Difficulty only affects how much luck is involved, then.

Moreover, the time difference is not going to be much at all between difficulty levels if you're running the game with everything already unlocked. Even bosses on Pro tend to die after one shot with a rocket launcher.

CaR with the speedruns I've seen from you, you are 180% it doesn't make the diff with infinite weapons
