Why do games do this

>>383349872
Mario Odyssey thread ?

What's the purpose of rolling outside of combat and prevent fall damage in Zelda, anyway? I mean, why they allow you to roll all the time?

sounds like the ultimate tool to BTFO speedrunners. do any games actually do this?

>>383353698
I don't know, despite being scripted, a lot of episodes feel like they were made up on the fly or had little review.

Running everywhere is faster than rolling around at the speed of sound

>>383354301
not really, any serious speedrunner would clock both to find it which was the most time efficient.

I beg to differ, continuously leaping into a roll you can go pretty fast, it's like taking giant steps using downward velocity to gain speed, but it's hard to do continuously, you can only do it on soft ground like grass, and you get dizzy as fuck after only like 6 rolls.
Wouldn't recommend.

Looks similar to the bellyslide mechanic in Sunshine, that was always fun.

>>383361406
You need some serious upper and lower body strength to make this at all efficient.

I consider myself to be in great shape, having practiced Taekwondo for 15 years and MMA/BJJ for 5 or so. Even with that I can't honestly say I can keep quickly leap-rolling for more than those 5 or 6 times in a row before it gets very taxing. Now occasional sprint-steps while jogging, that's efficient.

>>383362787
>Bootsy is more liked than Mike
>Bootsy says some anti-Trump thing on Twitter at some point
>Mike uses that as an excuse to kick him out

>>383363103
It has nothing to do wit efficiency, I'm no athlete, but I naturally have long, strong legs, I used to do that shit when I was like 13, I was just saying that it is possible to get pretty good speed doing that if it were possible to do it continuously, as a video game character can.

>>383363071
was going to post this in the thread.

>jump and dash forward get a huge spurt of speed
>jump mid slide and get a huge spurt of speed

feels amazing, so amazing they kept it.

>>383363367
Ohh, I misunderstood you then. You're right, it is quite fast.

I actually tried it on my backyard just now, and I can only do three really quick rolls before having to slow down to catch my balance. If I was a videogame character and could do those rolls forever, it would be around the same speed as a casual jog for me. So faster than walking everywhere at the very least!

>>383359034

>>383364383
I was talking about diving rolls, didn't make it obvious though so my bad.

Normal rolling is not at all quick, you need to do dives and get up on your feet on the same motion if you want to move fluidly. And that takes so much effort.

Why can't life be videogames

>running is the same speed as walking, but it changes your FOV to make it look like you're going faster
