Line 12:
* Finding and exploiting '''Gameplay Derailment''' is one of the biggest challenges and debates in competitive speedrunning (trying to beat games in the fastest possible time).
** For example, [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]] has been so extensively analyzed and broken that speedrunners have brought down playtime to 56min:54sec. Keep in mind that the layman takes about 20 hours in the game, while somebody returning probably takes around 10–12 hours.
** By exploiting collision mechanics (i.e. going through walls), it is easily possible to beat [[Super Mario 64]] with
** It is possible to beat [[Donkey Kong 64]] in 54 minutes, due to a variety of collision glitches and skips.

Primary among the positive ones would be the community turning the Ninja job into [[An Adventurer Is You|an outstanding Evasion Tank]]. Primary among the negative ones would be most single-job styles of "burn" party, especially arrowburn (rangers), the more abusive of which have been patched against.
