A simple question: If faced with a symmetrical map, like Nmaps.net, do you go right or left?
[16:24] <@golfkid> I'm pretty sure I will literally scream if I die on the last column of 78-4 at this point
[16:25] <trance> Oh, yeah. That level.
[16:29] <@golfkid> lol
[16:30] <@golfkid> It looks so simple
[16:30] <@golfkid> But it says "NO! I will rape your sanity!"

It's different every map. I think it's mainly based on the way the demo I watched before I started went.

But then again, I tend to go left.

I have a tendency to choose right. But whichever direction I select, I'll stick with it.

Despite the fact that I play with the arrow keys, I'm left-handed. Thus, I go left.

If there is a walljump necessary within the first few frames, I go left. When there is a doublejump, I go right.

If the level meets none of these conditions, I go right.

Right and a Half.

I usually start to the right. It's weird how symmetrical maps are identical no matter which way you start, and yet, as atob said, one side usually seems harder to do.

Mostly left. There are times when I go left for apparently no reason.

However if i watch a demo of the map before I play it, i will 99% of the time go the same way as the demo.

Right is always right, yet left is never right (as it's left)

following this, i always go right

i only change this if i watched a demo before. Unlike anyone else though, i tend to go the opposite way to that in the demo
