Thoughts on deadcoining?

[YamaBroBagua #TransRights]

weird question but after I've seen its usage on multiple speed runs n such I feel it makes boss fights, like the new PBOSS, too easy. I think it's unfair and also boring gameplay wise to allow a player to do so much damage to a boss so easily. TBH, I think it should be heavily nerfed or removed

It sucks, you're right. They should bring back coin punch stacking since that actually took skill to carry a coin in an arena.

I am one of those people that think deadcoining should be removed entirely, I speedrun P-1 without doing deadcoining just because it looks so damn boring and its very unfair.

For speedruns, it'll remain the dominant strategy, it is one of the most effective techs in all the game if not THE most. Although you won't get a WR without - or sometimes even with - deadcoining, you still can get very decent times without it.
For casual play, it's up to the player to do it. They can choose to deadcoin or not, just as how they can choose to just hold left click on the overheat nailgun forever, which is perfectly fine.
In my personal opinion, once you get used to deadcoin it can be made significantly more consistent but still hard to perform, requiring at least some attention from the player and constant precise inputs. Removing it will greatly upset the speedrunning community, specially the top, and nerfing it will still make some people very uncomfortable with a tech that actually needs at least some moderately advanced skill to perform. Maybe making it harder to do would balance things out, but with how inconsistent it already is, upsetting a community that Hakita has clearly devoted a lot of attention to seems like an unlikely option.
Although, yes, it does seem kind of bs that one coin can have the potential to absolutely annihilate some of the universes' most powerful entities, but it at least has its comedic value on how some quarters can bully to death Heaven's most powerful angel.

IMO it's really annoying, and makes a bunch of speedruns that COULD be interesting just be "get to boss, deadcoin, win"

since it's a somewhat complicated speedrun trick, i don't think it will be removed, but i don't really care about it tbh
